It must also has be taken into account that driving has become annoying to the point that many people from suburbs don't come anymore to Paris for shopping, theatres, exhibitions, ... and many living inside or nearby are really annoyed by the public transports which are dirty, not on time, too crowded, beggars every few minutes, ... so biking is like a forced solution that helps with some things but isn't always a choice of preference. It's easier to see this in the winter, which is not cold/wet enough in Paris to make cycling difficult, but there are clearly much less cyclists then.

This is simply an appeal to ignorance, who knows indeed. But that does not mean "anything in possible".
Also if there are fewer humans involved in the code production there is a lot of room for producing code that "works", but is not cohesive or maintainable. Invariably there will be a point at which something is broken and someone will need to wade through the mess to find why it's broken and try to fix it.

I’m confused by this analogy. Are cars Valkyries in this case, taking the souls of bikers off to Valhalla?

When I bike and have to wait at a busy crossing alongside other cyclists and cars nearby, I take note of how vastly different the two situations are.

Each car (often an SUV or a pickup truck) typically only has one passenger. Each bike also typically only has one passenger. But in the space of one car at a stoplight, you can fit 3 to 5 cyclists.

> Last time you made an argument like this, I pointed out it ignores the importance of figures like Daniel Mannix (Irish Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, 1917-1963) and B.A.Santamaria (Italian Catholic anti-communist activist; his height of political influence was in the 1950s) in Australia’s political history - between them those two men changed the outcome of more than one national election

I’m not denying that immigrant groups were influential in Australia. But even today, 60% of Australia is English or “Australian” (which is mostly English). 80% are from the British Isles. By contrast, English are not even the plurality in most U.S. states: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_of_the_Unite.... Germans are the most common in the Midwest; Italians are the most common in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut; Mexicans are the most common in the southwest; etc.

That has led to a completely different political mentality, where for more than a century, the center-left party has largely been organized around mobilizing its ethnic factions to “turn out” to vote. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall.

Of course you’re correct that Canada has a similar problem: the British were actually the ones who took over and supplanted the French founding population. They agreed to split up the country and give the French a great deal of latitude to do their own thing. That has mitigated what otherwise would have created tremendous conflict.

You’re certainly seeing more of that in Canada and Australia now given the mass immigration from Asia. But in the US this is been happening for 170 years or so. We’ll see if Canada and Australia are still well functioning and efficient after Chinese and Indian ethnic politics becomes a major force.
It's a real "you hate traffic without realizing that you _are_ traffic" situation.
RSUs and ESPP are actually two very different things. By default, anything of value your employer gives you is considered compensation, taxed at ordinary rates. RSUs fall into this category.

But there is something called "statutory stock options", of which there are two types: ISOs and ESPP. The main benefit (under statute) is that if you hold on long enough, instead of ordinary compensation income, the gains can be treated as long term capital gains (LTCG) and taxed at a significantly lower rate.

Adobe Air!

10+ years ago I was doing some work for a movie theater company and their POS system didn't have a "real" API except for buying tickets. The website sold tickets and used it to load showtimes. They then said they wanted to show the little screens above the theaters showing what movie it was, the poster, and the show times.

All of that was built with Adobe Air and it worked flawlessly for... years until they changed POS systems and it had that functionality built in.

We don’t have a solid definition of “creativity” so the goalpost can move around a lot, but the idea that a machine can not create new prose, for example, is just not true anymore.

Since PG uses one process per connection and the LLVM JIT code is process specific the code can't be shared amongst all connections to the DB.

Plans themselves suffer from this since they are in memory data structures not designed to be shared amongst different processes.

DB's like MSSQL don't have this issue since they use a single process with threads which is also why it can handle more concurrent connections without an external pooler. Although MSSQL can also serialize plans to a non process specific representation and store them in the DB for things like plan locking.

Writing directly to Firebase is rarely done past the MVP stage. Normally it's the reading which is done directly from the client. Generally writes are bounced through Cloud Functions or a traditional server of some form. Some also "fan out" data, where a user has a private area to write to (say a list of tweets) then they get "fanned out" to follower's timelines via an async backend process which does any verification / cleansing as needed.
I suspect the US is going to get a super bifurcated urbanist result across cities in the next 20 years. Places like NYC, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco (maybe not these exact cities but you get the gist) are going to move strong towards European style urban infrastructure. It seems to be one topic that really does mobilize voters, especially younger educated voters, in these cities. It will in turn attract a lot more of these kinds of people, accelerating the change.

The rest of the US is just going to double down on sprawl.

> It might be that some day, an AI could be just as good as a trained mathematician, but so far, it doesn't look like it.

One of the on-going arguments in automated theorem proving has been this central question: would anyone understand or want to read a proof written by a machine?

A big part of why we write them and enjoy them is elegance, a rather subjective quality appreciated by people.

In computer science we don't tend to care so much for this quality; if the checker says the proof is good that's generally about as far as we take it.

But endearing proofs that last? That people want to read? That's much harder to do.
Arguing with such a broad statement usually isn't worth the time but I'll bite anyways.

First:

If all minimum wage did was remove opportunities, we wouldn't have one in most of the civilized world. It's plainly obvious that isn't all it does, regardless how you feel about it's effectiveness.

Second:

Minimum wage does remove opportunities - and so what? There's nothing inherently bad about that. If a business can't afford a minimum wage, then they aren't a viable business. Businesses don't deserve to exist in the same sense that jobs don't deserve to exist. A business that can only survive by trapping employees in wage-slavery isn't to the happiness and health of it's society.

Third:

Minimum wage has little to no effect on inflation:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01651...

And it does have a positive effect on the quality of life of low-skilled workers:
https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hpb20180622.107025/

People that argue against the merits of a minimum wage are usually:

- parroting something they heard from a right-wing talking head, (i.e.: they have no evidence to back their claims), or

- they are a business owner that knows their business can only survive if they prey on low-skilled labor
Yeah, of course. Lacking any direct measurement, I'm using support from elected legislators as a proxy for support from people who live here. It's an imperfect metric, obviously, but better than nothing. Presumably if they were getting 99-to-1 comments against the policy from drivers, it wouldn't have passed all of the state House, Senate, and Minneapolis city council.
Cycling 15 km/h requires just as much power as walking.
Price would need to increase a lot. Just looking at my most recent rides at the $0.51 / min + $1.4 / mile rate, 80% of the money I paid would go to the driver and 20% to taxes, so Lyft would have to inflate ride costs quite a bit to pay themselves.

If you ride at a reasonable pace and shift gears frequently to adapt to the terrain, you should never need to exert yourself so much that you'd break out in sweat. A gentle bike ride should feel pretty similar to a walk.
I wish someone would release a CPU with a ton of E-cores, otherwise the idea makes no sense to me as a user of a workstation-class machine.

When I can get a CPU which is all P-cores and has significantly more cores than even the biggest P + E hybrid CPU then what's the point? But if they could give me, say, a hybrid CPU with double the number of cores compared to the biggest available P-only CPU - now we're talking! Alas, the market for such a thing is probably not big enough to be economical.
Best solution is of course “shower at the office”.
I worked for a company about 1h cycling away, and Sofia, Bulgaria is a hilly city, so cycling would involve quite a lot of exertion.

After some experimenting I found that my condition would be acceptable if I just change my t-shirt when I arrive.

My role was just your average dev so grooming requirements are a bit less than customer facing roles.

Also its all about temp management. I’d ware clothes that can be easily removed mid-journey so I can manage my temperature. Airy exercise t-shirts can cool you so well that if you don’t strain yourself too much you can avoid sweating altogether.

Why? The author makes it clear its purely anecdotal. Someone might come across this and decide to do a further, more scientific study. I would argue that this is valuable content that could lead to better insights on our sleep. Not having it on the NIH website would make it less likely to be viewed.
I desperately hope you’re right.

Not to be a downer, but I just don’t see how you could convince a business to go slower for the sake of a better technical foundation.

A great question, went into a small rabbit hole, still don't know how to answer this xD
skill issue i’m afraid, when you cycle a lot a 15min bike ride is like a 3min walk, and most of the time if the temp is high you’ll sweat regardless

in that case, get an electric bike :)
Why should that be the case?

The amount of sweat is only correlated to the amount of heat generated.

Only way to counter sweating is to dress appropriately and/or ride slower.
I see that there are many comments on full debug builds, but for me the most important difference are incremental build times when making minor changes. In my opinion this is what speeds up the development iterations.

Here are my build times when making a trivial change to a print-statment in a root function, comparing nightly dev vs adding cranelift + mold for rust-analyzer[0] (347_290 LoC) and gleam[1] (76_335 LoC):

$ time cargo build
Compiling rust-analyzer v0.0.0 (/home/user/repos/rust-analyzer/crates/rust-analyzer)
# nightly
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized] target(s) in 6.60s
cargo build 4.18s user 2.51s system 100% cpu 6.650 total

# cranelift+mold
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized] target(s) in 2.25s
cargo build 1.77s user 0.36s system 92% cpu 2.305 total

Compiling gleam v1.0.0 (/home/user/repos/gleam/compiler-cli)
# nightly
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 4.69s
cargo build --bin gleam 3.02s user 1.74s system 100% cpu 4.743 total

# cranelift+mold
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.99s
cargo build --bin gleam 0.71s user 0.20s system 88% cpu 1.033 total

For me this is the most important metric and it shows a huge improvement. If I compare it to Go building Terraform[2] (371_594 LoC) it is looking promising. This is a bit unfair since it is the release build for Go and this is really nice in the CI/CD. Love Go compilation times and I thought it would be nice to compare with another language to show the huge improvements that Rust has made.

$ time go build
go build 3.62s user 0.76s system 171% cpu 2.545 total

I was looking forward to parallel front-end[3], but I have not seen any improvement for these small changes.

Not sure why this is interesting. AFAWK, this forum post was seen by 3.5 people.
Trees do that for me, the graceful sweep of the branch, the weird way they can silently execute an evolutionary strategy while standing still, their symbiosis with their own death (the part on the inside is largely dead, but holds up the outer layers which are alive).
Next time you see a tree really look at it. Look for the grace in the sweep of a branch, think about what it is and how awesome it is.
This resonates strongly with me. I don't want to describe the painting, I want to paint it. If this is indeed where we end up, I don't know that I'll change professions (I'm 30+ years into it), but the joy will be gone. It will truly become "just a job".
Those aren't really redundant, though. I can say, "I guarantee that this product will work," but nobody would say, "I warranty that this product will work." (You could argue that guarantee is redundant with warrant, but the police don't go to the judge to request a search guarantee. Both words are needed.)

Whether anyone is acting on or mitigating a risk doesn't change the risk's existance. A good way for a country to lose its sovereignty is to assume its risks won't be capitaised on.

That's proximate.

> it's not like India doesn't have similar bases in the Eastern Indian Ocean or in the SCS as well

Bases are an asset. Not immunity. If someone needs to coerce India, threatening or deploying a blockade (ideally, on energy) remains a capital way to do it.

Barring building and maintaining one of the largest navies in the world, India's only real remedy to the situation is onshoring production and reducing energy import dependence. (Though, as you say, that's no guarantee it will be done.)
it can be done higher if voltage is added further. Maybe with certain temp control can achieve 4GHz or more

> Spoiler alert: this labor theory of value is disproven. A great answer to this question would have started with The labor theory of value is a now disproven theory that was instrumental to the progress of economics … or something along those lines. However, as the LLM never had the opportunity to actively digest the information it received, this understanding never crystallized.

How sure are we that this is not due to some politically correct filter forced upon a raw inference? Perhaps the machine tries to correlate dismissing labor theory as closer to dissing its left leaning overlords.

Gemini, a week before, might have said labour theory is correct.
Won't help on dirt and rain (and limited help on upwind and uphill) but using a low enough gear you should be able to stroll around with similar strain as walking. And you need to be able to accept a slightly slower speed, which is often challening, at least for me.
So you want me to remove all the lead/tin solder from the stuff I'm repairing... and do WHAT with it, exactly? I've been using the same roll of Kestler fine solder since the I got it about 20 years ago at the Dayton hamfest. I'm not exactly a bulk distributor of the stuff.

The ad-hominem attacks are un-called for. I was merely pointing out that the other used of lead involved boiling them off... and thus the lead was far, far more likely to go EVERYWHERE as a result.
It's not a fitness issue. The netherlands is fairly flat and has a cooler climate than any major US city. It's just not possible to be pedaling up/down hills in any amount of heat/humidity and not get sweaty.
Okay - but Netherlands is not as sunny, hot, and swampy as Houston and Orlando in the Summer.

I've never biked anywhere that's super hot and humid and sunny like Orlando in the Summer. Theoretically, the wind from biking should help evaporate your sweat before you get "sweaty" - but it's got to be easier to get swamp ass in Houston than Amsterdam.

I think the climate would matter somewhat.
I struggle to believe that a physician told her to take 5000 IU of vitamin D daily for 5+ years. This is nearly 10x canada's recommended winter time dose for adults under 70. After years of struggling with severe joint pain and mental fog/depression, among other things it was discovered that I had critically low vitamin D. They prescribed the 5000 dose but told me at least 10 times how I should NOT continue this high of a dose after the treatment was over.

For me, the supplements were noticeable and life changing and I can tell when I have fallen off taking them for a while. But I don't approach anywhere near this dose. Seems like a case of miscommunication.

> An office job provided structure and meaningful daily contact that is not replicated in 30 minute zoom calls.

I'm a very friendly guy, and always get along with my coworkers, but I go to work to work. For meaningful daily contact, I have my friends and family.

The European idea of going to work, working systematically for eight hours, and then going home to your real life seems much healthier to me.

Another way to see it is this: the cost of keeping a worker in an office is at least 10% of their salary. Another 5% of the workers day is spent commuting.

I personally would rather have a 10% raise and another 250 hours of spare time every year. I think if you phrased it that way, most people would agree.
