Production is not valuable in itself unless someone consumes it. As YC would say, "Make something people want."

Why would we encourage society to make things no one wants?
I think the United States and a India are much better positioned with respect to demographics, with like a generational lead on Europe and Asia. The U.S. has lots more millennials, with much more balanced sex ratios, than Europe or Asia, at least in proportion. Feel free to fact check me though.

Eventually, a generation or two later, the same phenomenon would hit them as well. But it's difficult to reason about what the world will be like even after it gets Europe and Asia. The world economy and geopolitical community would collapse or something, which could influence demographics in yet further weird ways. :O

I was just looking into TSA Precheck and stupidly clicked the first link that came up in google. It clearly went to a spam "Resort Destination" site and quickly noped out of there and reported the Ad.

I'm stupid for blindly clicking, but Google should definitely vet these clearly misleading ads.

File feedback in the app. My understanding is that people in charge of the recommendation system actually look at it and try to use it to make the system better.
Personally don't like this one. I don't like the design of the site.

If I'm at a page listing the alternatives, such as https://alternativeto.net/software/mtr

It doesn't have direct links to the alternatives, if you hover over an alternative it shows a "copy link" icon, but that just goes to the same page you are already on, instead you have to press into the alternative's page and scroll until you see a "official links" section
Different sides there being Microsoft.
On a related note, I know someone who tried installing an authenticator app for 2FA. They searched on the apple app store for such an app, they may even have searched for "Google Authenticator" although I'm not actually sure, and chose the first one. Although there are free quality apps for TOTP authentication, the first result required a rather expensive yearly subscription. Again, it isn't technically a scam, because as far as I can tell they provide a real service, but it is also clearly designed to trick unsuspecting users into paying way more for something than they should.
Sweeney vastly overestmated how much Epic mattered. Apple called his bluff.
It's not ADHD. I don't have ADHD but still think very similarly to you. I certainly get emotional, often way too emotional, in inappropriate situations, but for one reason or another, my response to acute stress and crisis situations is absolute calm. I've also been suicidal with access to firearms but recognized the feeling for it is and knew from past experience it was going to pass. I guess that's getting a bit meta about feelings, but it's how I cope with bad stuff in general. It's happened before and I got through it before. So when it happens again, my learned insinct is I'll get through it again and I don't panic.

In any case, I agree this is a great thread but the initial question you were responding to I think is asked in error. The "average" situation doesn't exist. Each person is a person. Should you personally own a firearm or carry one in any given situation? I obviously can't tell you the answer, but I can tell you the answer shouldn't depend on what the answer is on average. At some point, you're going to die, and it's very likely that, when it happens, there will be at least one thing you could have done differently that might have extended your life a little bit. By all means, avoid the obvious unnecessary risks, but you shouldn't live like a min-max video game speedrunner trying to micro-optimize every decision you ever make based on its expected contribution to your lifespan or healthspan. Try to get the obvious, well-known, big rocks right. On everything else, you're going to make mistakes. One of them will probably kill you. Make peace with that and live anyway.
Eh, shipping is extremely cheap. Might want to double check those assumptions.
The same sort of "scam" has helped me immensely in getting visas from countries like Russia and India, where the official process seems like it's geared toward supporting a cottage industry for third party agencies. For India in particular, doing it through the official web page required things like fitting a 100 character street address into a 40 character text box (or you get an error and it's back to square 1), trial and error to figure out what they think a valid date format is, etc. There was even a whole side quest around an alleged alcohol consumption license from Maharashtra State that featured prominently on government websites but no Indian person I knew had ever heard of.

So yeah, I think you're spot on, and this is just spending a little extra money to make the process easier, but it's just not super useful in this case.
As if that would be real...
I'm quite certain that the hypothetical person in this scenario is very grateful for the actionable steps you've provided, along with the cautionary words. Lots of hypothetical gratitude being sent your way.

Yes, the second movie is out and it got great reviews, better than the first.

I bought the book to read before seeing the second one.
Was hoping for a second it was a challenger to the the NextJS front-end monopoly. As I understand it enables you to start Vite development without setting up a server/TS while keeping it lightweight.
If you do some reading, I believe you will find that the National Guard is part of the government.

If you're going to put words in my mouth, then there's no need for me to respond any further.

If you are genuinely curious about build systems in any language, I can certainly help you. But, if this is the "Cargo is the best vs all others" debate, kindly count me out. I don't care. Cargo is fine if you're doing Rust work. If you're using other languages or platforms, there are plenty of excellent alternatives.

This sort of Rust proselytizing -- on an article about C of all things -- is why so many perceive the Rust community as being toxic. You might think you're helping to spread the glory of Rust, but that's not how you are coming across.

Note that I'm not even comparing the merits between the two languages. If you like Rust, write software in Rust. If you like building your Rust projects in Cargo, have at it.
My understanding is that pretty much every modern init system has a service for mounting the devtmpfs, even if it's not in the fstab, and depending on the switch_root binary being used, mounts made in the initramfs may or may not be re-mounted in the new root.

You don't even need a devtmpfs in the initramfs environment, and it may or may not even persist into the fully booted system. I believe Systemd has a tmpfs unit file, and OpenRC has a service for it which is enabled by default.

Sort of happy to see m4 mentioned, but for the uninitiated: m4 is the receiver of an awful lot of hate, because things can get unwieldy quickly. Go in with your eyes open.
I remember finding some little schematic for a DAC and getting the parts at Radio Shack and wiring it up so I could connect the PC to a stereo and play tracker music or something. At least I think it was a DAC. I'm guessing this was before we got the SoundBlaster and Silpheed for Christmas. That was a fun Christmas. Maybe early 90s?

This article would be better if it reported on the topic of the article, rather than stopping at stating the topic. Seriously, the whole thing could easily fit in 240 characters.

NIST staffers are revolting against his appointment... why, exactly? Ok, it also says he's associated with EA, and EA people have done bad things. Is that what the NIST staffers are saying? What are the staffers saying, anyway? If you're going to claim to be reporting on them, maybe at least try talking to them.

I got pretty much nothing from this article other than the headline. It both piqued and frustrated my curiousity. Perhaps I need to read more about how EA is being problematic in practice. The high-level description seems fine, but then again, every single religion, cult, movement, rebellion, revolution, etc. could be described as "do good stuff" at a high level (or at least "don't do bad stuff"—Don't Be Evil, anyone?) The part between "do good stuff" and "therefore we must commit genocide" is kinda important.
Thank you! It took many, many iterations to get it looking decent and intuitive on first impressions, so I'm really glad to hear this.

My process pretty much followed "build what I need next". So I started with Angular YouTube tutorials, then set up a basic database in Dynamo, using Lambdas + API Gateway. Then as the complexity of the site's data structure changed, I hard pivoted to PostGres (classic). Then I needed to make auth and accounts, so I set up Cognito. I tried to capture a lot of my learning within the site itself in various Goals.

This all happened before chatGPT was around. Then of course when it was available, I would ask it to help me with basic concepts and "what are industry standard ways of doing this?"

What I found to be true 99.9% of the time is, everything I'm trying to do has already been done and solved, I just need to know how to Google it properly. One of the biggest challenges was setting up image + video compression, but even still when I really sat down to handle it, didn't take more than 48 hours to figure out. PWA push notifications were another tough one. Happy to chat about any technical specifics!

Finally, I'll say this. I tried to reinvent the wheel designing the UI many, many times, not wanting the site/posts to look like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. Ultimately, I realized there's good reason all these sites follow the same format: it works, and users understand it intuitively. If I had just decided to use what already works from the beginning, I probably could have shaved 6 months off the project.

The joke, what do you have when you have a group of lawyers up to their necks in dog shit? Not enough dog shit...

It's just so insane how fast lawyers can bring the image, will and industry at large to it's knees. I think Apple's legal team should really take a hint (and a hit) from all of us in this industry. You're hurting Apple and the entire dev community more than you're helping.
That's the theory.

In practice, the supermarket where I typically buy (because it's closest to home) is hit and miss. Sometimes they specify the origin, sometimes they don't. I'm sure if I asked they would tell me, but the process would probably involve an overworked cashier asking an equally overworked manager, plenty of waiting, making other customers wait as well, and being seen as the nitpicky guy who is always asking. Ideally it's what we all should do, but in practice I and most people I know have no time or willpower for that.

On the other hand, in small fruit stores and markets, the overwhelming majority of the fruit doesn't specify origin. I can ask and at those places I will probably get an immediate answer, of course. But then I have to trust the word of someone whose primary motivation is to sell me the fruit. My bet is that many wouldn't acknowledge it's from Morocco. And it's not like I can check.

If it were so easy, newspapers wouldn't be publishing "tricks" to try to identify Spanish fruit:

https://www-elespanol-com.translate.goog/cocinillas/actualid...

https://www-larazon-es.translate.goog/sociedad/asi-puedes-co...

Tricks that sadly aren't even guaranteed to work, because a Spanish company selling fruit from Morocco can use a Spanish barcode.
I'm not being disingenuous. Calling it a "rich man's hobby" might dissuade people from partaking which I wouldn't want to happen. Yes, there is a high-end to mechanical keyboards where it can get really expensive but is cooking also a rich person's hobby because there are $1000 knives? If you don't want to play in that side of the pool you don't have to. You can get a lot of mileage out of $50-$100 in mechanical keyboards.
I never hear people say "bookkeeper" in everyday language. It's usually shortened to "bookie"

a tyre dropping off in such a way that it could have easily killed several people doesn't count as a major malfunction to you?
The reason for the SRAM according to them,

> If you want low latency you have to be really careful with HBM, not only because of the delay involved, but also the non-determinacy. One of the huge benefits of our LPU architecture is that we can build systems of hundreds of chips with fast interconnect and we know the precise timing of the whole system to within a few parts per million. Once you start integrating non-deterministic components your latency guarantees disappear very quickly.

The food industry has gone to great lengths to make people think that the amount of something is all that matters. Ultra processed foods might contain the same nutrients as fresh fruits or vegetables, but they’re clearly not the same.

The physical structure of the item has an enormous impact on how healthy it is, and the rate of absorption is one of the most important factors for sugar related issues. One big shot of sugar all at once is hugely unhealthy, but when released over time (such as when eating a whole unprocessed fruit) isn’t detrimental at all.
Yeah - I skipped rPi because back when I started replacing stuff ARM still had some gotcha's with stuff that hadn't been ported. I do use the rPi's for the 3d printers though.

I've found the TP Link stuff to be good for home switches. cheap, quiet, and basically fully featured/managed. Stuff like SNMP, VLAN/Mac Lan, port mirroring/monitoring, etc. Also SSH and web interfaces... I have 2-3 currently, 1 per room feeding back to the PowerConnects (NOISY) and haven't had a single issue in 3-5 years of use :-)
I have a work mac, work linux, and home mac. I want the same terminal-based development environment on all of them, but each requires just a little bit of customization.

For example, the .gitconfig for work is different from home (e.g. my username/email). Ditto for my .ssh/config and my shell aliases.

I also use Nix to manage all my tools, and the home-manager configuration is slightly different between mac & linux due to platform support.

I've gone through a few iterations of home-built solutions, including extending homeshick[1], before discovering YADM which implemented everything I had done but better.

Why announce this?
$39 a each message seems expensive - but I don't think $39 per thread/conversation is unreasonable with the actual doctor (would not pay not that for staff).

I’m making up numbers but if a private practice physician earns $250k/year for 2000 hours that’s $125/hr + taxes and benefits + rent/overhead + nursing and staff, you figure that cost is probably closer to $300/hr then you you assume they have to do ~30min of prep/admin for every patient hour that’s closer to $450/hr that’s ~$37.5 per 5 min of patient time (and none of that is factoring in reimbursement rates), people can disagree as to how those costs should be borne but let’s not kid ourselves as to what the cost of doctors time is…
I don't know where you're from so apologies if I'm making an incorrect assumption, but I will always be puzzled with Americans' with pasta being considered unhealthy. I frequently see pasta/bread being lambasted as unhealthy, and cheese being described as "a good source of protein". Admittedly bread=bad is more prevalent in the "carnivore diet" community (they're bonkers for other reasons, like thinking vegetables should be avoided for being unhealthy) but "pasta=bad, cheese=good" is pretty widespread.
A couple of years ago I wrote a MIDI player with a bluepill board (STM32F1 microcontroller) and a waveform generator (AD9833) in Rust.

I came here to basically say "maybe this is a United problem not a Boeing problem."
Bundling (including dead code elimination) is more used for frontend code to reduce the amount of JavaScript sent over the wire to browser.

You don't need to bundle server-side code unless you're using a cloud provider that limits how much source code you can upload or some other limitation like that.
If Boeing releases maintenance guidelines for a framistat, United Airlines will work towards those numbers. UA wouldn't double Boeing's framistat-related downtime guidelines without a really good reason, and this might lead to bad results if Boeing is wrong.

I'm not suggesting this wasn't UA's fault, I'm saying the nature of fault is complicated and currently unidentified.
That was the treatment received, but perhaps they were referred to the ER by EMS for smoke inhalation.

I don't know either, but the broader point is that people are referred to the ED by medical professionals for seemingly minor issues all the time, and that the incentives are all lined up to treat stupid shit in the ER rather than have someone tell them to go somewhere that makes more sense.
It is a great way to prevent those currently deploying and using AI from being impeded by any icky current concerns.
And early 90s to mid 2000s was an era of especially standardized hardware. Every box was x86+RAM+mobo+HDD slapped together. With single CPU cores not getting much faster, hardware is becoming more specific again, making tight integration more advantageous.

> So does that mean that eating two-can-soda-equivalent amount of bread shows the same harmful effects? This doesn't make sense.

The major factor is how fast carbs are induced into blood stream. Bread has some fiber and also carbs are more complex, which makes process slower.
I don't think air taxis in cities will be particularly beneficial to society, but I think the underlying technology will be very beneficial.

It's like the Tesla Roadster. A toy for rich people. But it helped kick-start the EV revolution. Which didn't just give us electric cars, but eventually also electric buses which are just a godsend for cities IMO. (I had an almost auditory whiplash when I visited Taipei because the new electric buses looks like exactly like the old ICE buses, and the ICE buses they have there are SO loud in a city that's already too loud.. and then this EV bus just passes by completely silently.. but I digress.. way too much)

We have a lot of very small airports here in Norway which are underutilized. Sometimes you end up taking a plane to a larger regional airport only to take a 2 hour bus ride to a town.. that has an airport..

Electric aircrafts will unlock the potential of these airports, since the planes will be cheaper to operate and much more silent (the airports could be close to the town center), and I'm quite sure it'll be significantly more energy efficient than traveling to these cities today. Electric planes can be very energy efficient per passenger km. So if a train is not an option they could beat all other modes in efficiency.
So hypocritical to say this and not resign yourself. Leave Google it’s choice and leave the company, don’t start destroying it from the inside, or stay and don’t speak your individual opinion

`gcc mycode.c` has to be some sort of joke you're making. I'm not trying to compile "Hello, world" in C, I'm writing C code that will be run in production to solve real-world problems.

For projects of any significant size, you're going to run into some constraint which requires you to use `make` differently than you have before.
My anecdote is a bit different, I got a Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen 2, and during the first few months I had overheating while charging, keys that would get stuck in pressed mode (which happened even in the UEFI menu), and the occasional black screen.

All of these issues went away over time and it's been running very smoothly for the last 18 months or so. Everything just works, and battery life is quite good.

The feel of the keyboard unfortunately cannot be fixed, and the built-in microphone sounds terrible, but with all the other issues gone, and very little need for a built-in microphone, I'm more or less happy with it.

Lessons about security should be learned, but Google is complicit in this fraud.

Most people don't expect hijacked search ads with malicious advertising. I've personally witnessed well over 200 intrusions stem from malvertising. Just be happy this didn't lead to your org being ransomware'd.

As said in the comments, use Unlock Origin, and most importantly, move away from Google. Try DuckDuckGo as the default.

Better yet, install Librewolf (built in AdBlock plus DuckDuckGo set to default)
You're talking about getting onto an enclosed, protected space. You have the Constitutional right as an American to not be unreasonably searched, but that doesn't mean you have the right of free movement to any and all places not owned by you personally without restrictions imposed by whoever controls that space, even when it's the government. If you're trying to get into a courthouse, the white house, an airplane, a train, they can search you first.

What happens if you refuse a search is you leave the platform and get back onto the street where you're allowed to move about freely without being subject to search.
