The difference is that one is almost half the price of the other.

50-60k for a vehicle with good utility, cheap maintenance and fueling, and ability to power your house is a pretty good purchase. Home natural gas generators can cost up to $10k, Tesla Powerwalls are even more. Utility of the truck is unparalleled if you actually need to carry gear for whatever reason. So many people see practical. These people are also not carrying large stuff all the time where a foot of bed length matters, nor are towing big things. Fast charging is also mostly irrelevant as people top up at home and rarely take long trips where they need to use public charging.

Spending 90k+ for pretty much the same stuff is stupid.
I think a binary format is obviously the right answer here.
Something I've found useful for avoiding the ever-present urge to rewrite things: build software with comprehensive documentation and automated tests.

In my experience, the main reason a rewrite feels like a good idea is that the existing software has grown into what feels like an unmaintainable mess: changing the software in any way at all is so painful that it feels like you'd be better off starting from scratch.

Done right, automated tests dramatically reduce the cost of changing software. You can make a change and feel confident that you've not broken anything outside of the area that you're working on because the (mostly integration) test suite continues to pass.

Likewise, documentation. Without good, comprehensive documentation you quickly find that there are all sorts of areas of the project that you don't understand - which can also make a rewrite feel like it could be justified.

The catch there is that you have to _trust_ your documentation. If you (or your team) know it to be out-of-date you'll lose trust in it - so you have to get to a point where the documentation is thorough and any mistakes in it are treated as high priority bugs to be fixed.

But... if you can get both of these things in order - your automated testing strategy and your documentation process - my hunch is that rewrites will be FAR less tempting.
A coworking space I signed a contract for starting on March 1st sent me an email on 02-28 telling me my membership starts tomorrow and welcome on board.
They're only similar in that they're a savory handheld pie, Cornish pasties have different fillings and a more pie like dough instead of a leavened bread like dough. They're closer to a pierogi than a Cornish pasty. A very similar dish is fleischkuekle, which is what my paternal grandmother would make, both russian/german dishes.
The app was probably designed to be able to show an emergency banner if ever needed. Easier to change that message than fix a complicated API.
> CNET issued a statement that claims that the site maintains high editorial standards.

The "high" they're mentioning there must be the marijuana one (aka the editors are permanently stoned), rather than the generally accepted meaning of "high editorial standards".
I don't think it's useful to consider "uses `unsafe`" as a boolean. A one-line `unsafe` around `MaybeUninit::assume_init` isn't the same as an `unsafe` module per platform wrapping VM operations.

Also, it's not that crazy for a byte-oriented buffer to start with a `vec![0u8; N]` (cheap) and not need `MaybeUninit` at all. Probably doesn't buy you that much though; you still want to be careful to not leak previous bytes.

Also, you might be missing the point of my comment if you're responding to one word of "the most obvious [downside]" and not the other bullets...
>Obesity is foremost an emotional problem

That would imply that humanities emotions now are substantially different than say 50 years ago.

That feels incredibly shaky as a theory...
To be fair, I don't think religion is window dressing in Dune, it's just the specifics of how society came to be so syncretic that they end up compiling the OC Bible doesn't need to be examined (other than the hazily-sketched out narrative about the Council of Ecumenical Translators in the appendix). Ditto how disparate religions like Zen Buddhism or Sunni Islam (or every single other existing religion) come to mix together. It's just assumed that's what happens because it's so far in the future. What's important is what these far future faiths, at least the ones that aren't throwaway references, do afterwards.

Recent fad in espresso is to place a disk shaped coffee filter in the portafilter. Idea is to remove oils and smaller sediments but microplastics would get filtered too I guess. Though espresso machine would usually have soft water and this method doesn't work as well for soft water.

For a phrase representing the highly unformalized concept of where a software project may go in the future relative to unpredictable customer, business, resource and developer needs, "family" seems appropriate. There is continuity, but not necessarily any other logical relationship being maintained.

Sets of differential equations with specifiable constants have more in common with a compiler exposing customizable parameters, forming a "class" of behaviors. Or a parser compiler taking a grammer, and producing a well defined "class" of parsing algorithms.

During the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans infiltrated the American lines with ersatz officers sowing confusion by giving conflicting orders in perfect English.

The GIs hit on the idea of asking them baseball questions. Failing to answer them correctly got the fake officers shot on the spot.

My dad (WW2 vet) told me I would have been shot on the spot. My utter disinterest in baseball distressed him.
> The idea that most managers have something to teach you, are good judges of your flaws, or can give better advice than you would get from a senior peer is ridiculous. These are great traits that you should seek out in a mentor, but to claim the median manager anywhere has them is insane. In practice managers you encounter in the wild offer none of those things

Have you ever had a good manager?

Assuming equally competent people, feedback from a senior peer is likely to not be as good as someone who's full-time job is to be a people manager. Good managers are very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of people in the team. Senior peers do not have to be aware of this and as a result, don't tend to be able to articulate these kind of things. They may be able to give good task-specific feedback, but holistic and personal feedback is difficult.

The median senior is just as poor at giving feedback as the median manager, and management in large companies isn't inherently adversarial. It's very environment dependent.
I live in excel in a multibillion dollar company as the "excel" guru... though my company doesn't really have big data generally speaking

I would love a performant desktop excel replacement - I miss using excel 2003 - it has been downhill ever since...

That said, I'm clearly not the target market for this product though I believe there's some degree of frustration with how poorly modern excel works with many files now which this product may address.

I would guess that making this a light-weight and performant (not electron) desktop app (ideally portable so installing it wouldn't require admin access) with substantial feature parity and compatibility with excel would be a big deal - I'd install it right away...
Some of the most interesting parts are toward the end:

Criterion made a conscious decision, Becker told me, to use the architecture of streaming technology differently from the way others have. Instead of an algorithm, viewers are guided to what they might want to watch through careful human curation ...

...

Field told me a story about waiting tables at a Manhattan restaurant in 1984 and being “shoved” across the street to see a film festival at Lincoln Center; he saw films by Victor Nuñez, Jim Jarmusch, the Coen brothers and Wim Wenders, he said, “but that’s just because somebody pushed me across the street.” For Field, that’s what Criterion represents: not an “algorithm saying ‘this will turn you on,’” but the gift of being shoved toward great cinema.

One of the powers of excel is that it is your data on your machine. You can work fully offline, no SaaS monthly crap.

I wear Xiaomi's Amazfit Pro 3R. Digital. Wrist band. Hung at midnight of 29th Feb today. Did a bunch of factory reset but didn't recover. And then recovered at the morning of 1st of March.

Date is relatively simple.

days_in_month(year, month) :
if(month==2) return days_in_feb(year)
//all other months have constant number of days, always.

days_in_feb(year,month) :
if(!(year % 400)) return 29;
if(!(year % 100)) return 28;
if(!(year % 4)) return 29;
return 28;

Pay before fill is predominantly an American thing.

Australia, NZ, UK and most of Europe all operate on a fill then pay.

Some stations in Australia at least are an exception that open 24/7 and have no employees and are prepaid and some manned stations where they charge at the pump during night hours for safety reasons.
I guess rather than say religion is window dressing, I'd say Herbert wasn't particularly interested in coming up with a theology or rituals or anything like that. He's interested in religions as a medium for power. Which, to be frank, is how a lot of powerful people throughout history have treated religion. It's just that, when you don't have a sense of how everyday people relate to those kinds of structures, it feels a little fake to me.
There is a similarity but I don't think it's quite 1:1. Both of your reference points are an order of magnitude weaker or stronger than mine.

As I've said in other responses, my viewpoint is coming from the viewpoint of a generally healthy mind and not wanting that to be taken from me.

If I become someone with an unhealthy mind my viewpoint could change.
As weather conditions are roughly cyclical with a period of a year, this doesn't strike me as a particularly unusual thing for a weatherperson to mention in passing.

Though you're correct in that year-over-year weather changes and daily maxima lack the significance of long-term climate trends.
Yes, exactly. The device that comes closest to what I would say feature complete is the HiBy M300 for 200$. It has Android 13, modern specs and most important support for OMTP headphone remote control (Sony A306 does not have this). But the M300 is way to clunky for my taste (4" display, pretty big device) and even more important: No android app fits my needs in terms of stability and reaction timings.

However, I found a way to mod one of my iPod Nano 7g (i got plenty) by milling out the aluminium backplate to fit in a 600mah iPod Mini battery. It's too thick, but width and height fit perfectly. With a protecting silicon case I now (kind of) probably own the only iPod nano with replaceable battery (without taking it apart completely). This is also kind of dangerous, because the battery has no real protection except the silicone case and as we all know lithium batteries are the worst when penetrated or bent. I'm working on this but still: 600mah is nearly 3 times the capacity of the original one :-)

There is also recent progress in hacking the iPod Nano 6g / 7g, but I think nobody cares any more... see https://github.com/CUB3D/ipod_sun for details.
I'm 52 years old and every time I go to the doctor they ask me the "Do you feel safe at home?" "Have you been depressed?" etc, etc questions.
This is a hard-earned lesson, but it's true.

Instead of doing

def do_something_with_date():
now = datetime.now()
return now - timedelta(days=2)

you should do

def do_something_with_date(now):
return now - timedelta(days=2)

and explicitly pass in edge-case dates into the `now` param in your unit tests.

Alternatively, if you're using Python, use the freezegun library to fix the current time in tests: https://github.com/spulec/freezegun

It may be counterintuitive, but convertibles are usually heavier than coupes, due to the added bracing and stiffening that compensates for the lack of a roof.

Miatas are pretty small, but I agree GP is right to lament the lack of lightweight vehicles in the US. I've read the average European car weighs ~1000 lbs less than its American counterpart. I personally feel gross driving around in heavy vehicles, like are people really so insecure they feel the need to haul all this extra mass around, and ignore the repercussions at scale?
I think it’s definitely possible that the basket of emotions we _experience_ in our lifetime is substantially different now than 50 years ago.

It’s a difficult thing to ever really quantize, but I’m comfortable with the notion that different experiences lead us to different behaviors. How much that broad phenomenon can explain the rise of obesity worldwide I do not know.
100%. The best software company I've worked for had no real managers. You did technically have a "manager" but all they did was gather feedback and give you reviews once a year. Otherwise, they were senior+ engineers that worked on projects just like you did.

On the other hand, I've been at small 20 to 30 person companies with several layers of management. Infact, at one, there were actually more "managers" than individual contributors. It's a big WTF.

> milder influences of Gaelic languages

Gaelic is the surviving Celtic language of Scotland, and not the dominant Celtic language of Scotland when the Angles and Saxons arrived, which was more like Welsh. I don't think Gaelic has had a sizable influence on English. One would expect this to have come more from Welsh, Cornish, and Cumbric, the displaced languages, but I'm not aware of a huge influence here either.
Effectively every piece of software written for at most a few thousand people to use concurrently (i.e. 99.99% of software).

Do you think those two are somehow unrelated?
I've worked in the supplement industry, so while I'm not a FDA labeling expert I've been through several audits and provided support to the QC/QA team during an audit. Applying a supplement facts panel instead of a nutrition facts panel requires very different QC processes, and depending on the food the testing requirements will be very different. I'd assume a big reason they switched is that the testing for a specific amino acid would be more expensive than a protein assay, plus since it's an animal product there would be a wider variability batch to batch and so might have caused issues with lot regularity under a supplement regime.

Or it could be a straight marketing thing, having a supplement facts panel was causing consumer confusion/concern.
Interesting, but honestly not fond of the style of writing of the author.

I will add another common source of problems in Italy: every single city or village has its saint, and if it is that saint day on the calendar that city or village shuts down.

But here lies an issue: if you are employed in a different city then you reside (e.g. you work for a company in Milan but you live in Rome), you get the worst combination. You don't work on Sant'Ambrogio's day (Milan's saint patron), but you get to work in your city's holiday, so when everyone is enjoying and having fun you're working.

And yes, this has technological implications of the sort that author describes.
I stumbled on this about two weeks ago. It's amazing. It solves the global variables issues in notebook and saves as plain text. I showed it to my coworker and they were all very excited. With a plugin system it could replace gradio, streamlit and jupyter. I really hope it does.

That's an overpriced completely ordinary filter. All filters remove microplastics.

Just get a standard filter housing and it'll work just as well and you can pick any filter you want.

For example the KX 06-250-10-GREEN costs 1/4 as much and lasts 5 times as long. So basically costs 1/20th as much as the one you linked.

If you want even better microplastic performance pair it with a ceramic filter like the CRE-1, which removes even smaller microplastics than the carbon ones do.

Never buy a non-standard filter housing, they are never better and cost far more. In fact they cost so much more, throwing it in the trash and buying a standard housing will still save you money!

Just talk to people. Take a walk, so hi to everyone you pass. You need to act out the type of person you want to become. It's a muscle. Those interactions are easy because they are almost always extremely ephemeral. Hi & hi, maybe a conversation starts up about something in the direct area, most of the time it's extremely quick. Maybe you even see the same person multiple times, the very fact you both take walks at the same time is a connection you can build on. Conversation builds friendship.

Then apply this muscle to less ephemeral situations like the coffee shop or gym or whatever, where a group of people are in the same general area as you for extended periods of time, with their own demands on their time, likely there studying or exercising or whatever. When they get bored studying or exercising for a bit, say something to them. Like "Yo what's up, just studying?". Are you worried about how you "sound"? Or if you are saying "the right things"? If you are work on letting go of that. It's a huge weight on your shoulders.

Also, if you're working. Start pinging people. People love talking about stuff they're interested in. I do it and learn all about all the crazy hobbies people have. I've actually taken up hobbies myself as a result of some of these interactions because I met some /extremely/ dedicated people.

It's fucking easy man. Just do it.

With this tactic I guarantee you will have 100 interactions in no time.
For some reason the way this is phrased made me think they were like submersible reindeer.
I think this depends on a bunch of stuff.

- Who are the consumers of the source code, i.e. who will ever check it out and build it? Sometimes, it's just one person. Sometimes, it's a team of engineers. In that case, -W -Werror is fine.

- How does a warning being reported make the engineers on the team feel? If the answer is, "Hold my beer for five minutes while I commit a fix", then -W -Werror might be the right call. I've been on projects like that and some of them had nontrivial source code consumers.

- How easy is it to hack the build system? Some projects have wonderfully laid out build systems. If that's the case and -W -Werror is the default, then it's not hard to go in there and change the default, if the -Werror creates problems.

- Does the project have a facility (in the build system) and policy (as a matter of process) to just simply add -Wno-blah-blah as the immediate fix for any new warning that arises? I've seen that, too.

(I'm using -Werror in some parts of a personal project. If you're a solo maintainer of a codebase that can be built that way, then it's worth it - IMO much lower cognitive load to never have non-error warnings. The choice of what to do when the compiler complains is a more straightforward choice.)
Yes, I do. When an individual has a problem that requires treatment, a physician or other provider doesn’t consult broad theories on general population trends. They instead look to what evidence-based interventions have shown success with individuals who received those interventions.
I have a Tesla and haven't had occasion to use a non-Tesla L3 charger, but my understanding is that different networks may make it easier to pay without a credit card, or offer discounts for being part of their network, or maybe don't have a credit card reader at all? And having their app installed on your phone (or whatever) will make it easier to find them or view the realtime status.

So I would think it's simply easier to always use the same network or else you're juggling apps and payment methods.
