You're begging the question. [1]

"Feb 29 + 1 year" is verbatim restatement.

You can say Feb 29 + 365 days = Feb 28. (And Feb 29 + 730 days = Feb 27.)

EDIT:

Note that in the context of birthdays, people use "calendar years," not "unit of time which is ~1 revolution around the sun."

Birthdays aren't celebrated every X million seconds after the moment of birth.

They are celebrated the same day each calendar year -- notwithstanding the fuzzy concept of "same day" for incongruent calendar years. There's no singuar right answer, but that is the core question: "what is the same day next (calendar) year?"

Yes, you have to expect the future (or even better if your manager/boss already has expectations you can adopt to begin with) and then choose the right way to tackle the changes required. That's why I laid out 3 possible cases the last of which points out that I prefer to refactor primarily when there's a lot of work incoming on the codebase.
Personally, I don't see much value in refactoring code significantly if you alone are going to be editing it because refactoring for ease of editing + the cost of editing in the refactored codebase is often less than just eating the higher cost of editing in the pre-refactored codebase and you don't reap the scaling benefits of refactoring as much. However, like I mentioned in the above paragraph, it depends.
In the end it's all about managing the debt to get the most out of it in a _relatively_ fixed time period.
AFAIK, archive.org is mainly used as a legitimate archive service.

These other archive.* services seem to be used mainly for piracy. I don't know whether that's the intent, but that's the only use of them I recall seeing.

I think conflating the two categories of services might put archive.org at risk.

E.g. keep your hands on a wheel, be present and in a driver's seat. Anything unlike getting a cab.
As others have pointed out: logistics.

E.g. the German postal service employs some 600k people. DHL is another 600k. The logistics union has like 1.3M members. That's like 2% of all employees in Germany.

Those are labor intensive jobs. With minimal training.

It's a huge sector that you usually don't see (well, except for all that truck traffic).

because people are responding to the sudden surge of this one story, so keep seeing exactly the same near identical story from multiple different sources on multiple different sites, so have have already gotten tired of the same BS everywhere.

As far as I can make out this piece of (still BS) legislation was present for independent bakeries, and that happens to also cover outlets like Panera. But people who own multiple franchises have lots of money so make large political donations, and they own a bunch of businesses so a pile of legislation in notoriously anti-worker US laws eventually benefit them.

This was my point: if you want to, you will find a donor that benefits from a law that someone they donated to has signed.

> To be honest I've never really liked how GA results in all kinds of mixed elements if you're not careful what you multiply with what. Requiring up to 2^n terms for what was an n-dimensional space seems a bit hard to deal with.

Agreed, but the confusion is already there, and the traditional approach deals with it by just sweeping it under the rug. If you're dealing with normals, for example, you have at least 2 different n-dimensional spaces to keep track of that transform quite differently.

Having points, planes, lines, normals, translations, and rotations all represented as a single multivector type with consistent rules seems quite liberating once you grasp it. (I'm admittedly still working on it.)
In my experience Slack becomes buckets within buckets, so I still rely on the 'feed' - i.e. the 'threads' aggregator to find which one of the dozen sub-buckets are actually discussing X and Y.

You do realize the first ever decent AI has appeared less than a year ago? It’s available to anyone today for $20/mo, and it will get better and better every year. What we have now was considered pure science fiction just five years ago, a hypothetical technology - decades away at best.

Why are people still driving cars? Because the autonomous driving technology wasn’t good until very recently. It has improved a lot in just the last few years, and you can already see self driving cars operating commercially in several cities. Again, it will get better every year, and as it gets better it will spread everywhere.

It’s true that flying cars exist but haven’t become popular or widespread. I’m not entirely sure why. But it is much easier to ask ChatGPT to write some code than to actually try out a flying car.
Tire performance degenerates greatly the more they wear out.

*Especially* wet-weather performance. 2/32nds an inch is the legal end of tires but by this point you are taking twice the distance to stop the car.

https://cdn.discounttire.com/sys-master/images/hfb/h15/89828...

The front tires has more weight (especially when braking: the weight shifts forward due to momentum). If you want the front tires to perform better, you need to have longer treads / less-worn-out tires, especially in wet weather.

It’s not just an oil change with ICE cars either - they run the diagnostics, fix the various recalls, and maintain your service record. Cars are very complicated nowadays, especially hybrid ones, it’s cheaper to catch problems early. Plus it’s free for the first 3 years if one values their time at $0/hr.

Only on HN will people argue that spending a day or two a year on something as stupid and unnecessary as refueling and car maintenance is worthwhile.

Your commentary is pretty childish.

I'll be honest, I just skimmed the article.

All I have to say about this is that just saying "no" is certainly _a_ strategy, but a better one is to clearly and precisely outline the man hours you expect to need for a certain task. "Sure I can do this, it's going to cost X weeks of my time at the opportunity cost of working on Y and Z" (don't forget to add Scotty's hedge). Doing this advertises to your management that you are competently managing your time, and can think clearly about how to prioritize things for the business.

I would love it if we got the ship's computer. That doesn't seem to be anywhere on the horizon.

Until recently there was a button on my phone I could press to get immediate directions somewhere, to start a timer, any number of other things etc. A few months ago they updated the button, now it just searches Google.

I don't think rational interfaces of the sort you described will win out. Windows peaked at 7, which was an all but perfect desktop operating system, and they deliberately wrecked it.

The companies who've invested in this technology and control the hardware don't work by solving problems and queries straightforwardly. Rather they are very good at getting in between you and the solution/answer. Even on a B2B level - don't get me started on enterprise CRMs.

I also don't think it would make any sense for me to browse images and fiddle with prompts all day trying to make something happen programmatically, maybe, instead of just writing the code that will surely make it happen.

The company where I work tried to outsource part of our app to India and Ukraine. The result was a mess and they paid a nice amount. Now we do everything in house.

I guess outsourcing companies pay their employees very little and they aren't able to hire top talent. And even if the pay was good, best programmers don't like working for outsourcing companies. The ones they do work for outsourcing companies don't care about the quality of their work as long as their company is paid so they get paid, too.

We assigned a task to one guy in Ukraine and two months latter he didn't complete it. One of our colleagues did it in three days.

My take is if you want to get good results from developers from another country, you have to hire them directly.

From my experience from more than a dozen years ago:

To avoid allocation churn, one can use a big array of objects and for each index a flag whether the array element contains an object or not. Today I would say I used an arena. Combined with the fly-weight pattern in some use cases you don't need to reach for unsafe at all. For me it was about a visual simulation of chemical reactions. In each frame iteration an array was held and even this long time ago it was fast enough to allow smooth animation with tens of thousands of possibly colliding particles.

I respect research out of curiousity. This way we learn what works and what doesn't work. So keep up this work but I just wanted to tell about the boring alternative.

I think it is fascinating how big differences there can be depending on which metric you look at.

Neighbour countries like Denmark or Netherlands (which both have aggressively banned Huawei) have much better internet than Germany. So the difference is hardly because of lack of technology.

You can do this with software and models off GitHub quite easily. My wife and I tried it, and it inpaints a body that, while seamless and realistic, looks nothing like her own. In fact changing clothes looks much more realistic (you can do that too, with the same software).

Any company with deep financial dependency on the Chinese market (basically all Chinese companies) will have connections with the Chinese Communist party (aka the ruling government), including all Chinese citizens in the country... They will have "deep connection" with the government because all these people and entities are subject to the local laws and established interests and they don't really have an alternative. It's not like the US or the West is so immigration happy welcoming them in with open arms.

As such if the default stance is not to trust or do business with Chinese-related parties this will exclude the entire country eventually, since they aren't given any realistic alternatives to being completely blacklisted they'll likely retaliate (understandably).

What should they do? Just "cooperate"? No amount of cooperation or action from the Chinese side will get them to be trusted or viewed differently, because the fundamental issue isn't that Huawei is selling backdoored or hacked devices (which they aren't, or otherwise everything would have been ripped out instantly)... it's that they fundamentally do not trust the company, or anything from China.

The obvious question! Because taxing is used to free up the resources necessary for the state to purchase them. Once you force everyone to pay taxes, they have to get hold of the state currency, which should (in a well managed system) only happen through state purchase of resources, notably people's time.

That is, the ability of a state to provision itself is driven through its currency which in turn is driven through taxation.
