According to Wikipedia, John died in 1862 and Harrison was born in 1928. So he never met his grandfather.

It makes me wonder - who is the oldest "directly-known" person? Maybe there's a better term for this. What I mean is, of all of the currently-living people, who is the person that one of them actually met who was born the earliest?
It's too bad that the borders there are leftovers from colonial map-making. I wonder what "United States of Arabia" would look like if allowed to form on their own terms.

I can’t trust whatever comes out of business owners mouths unless i see their books.
Having recently paid a lawyer a bunch of money for a divorce, I expect it's a bit of a double-edged sword. They benefit from clients not wanting to waste time and money peppering them with useless questions and updates, but at the same time a legal proceeding is kind of like a disease— the longer it goes on the worse it gets, and so there is benefit to everyone in being able to get questions reliably and conclusively answered early in the process. A model where you were paying for an end result could well provide better end results, assuming the service provider (lawyer) still retained some mechanism to protect themselves from becoming their client's emotional support system.
Personally, I think https://laurel.ai is the leader in this space. Very impressive though! It's a great space to be in.
I'm going to be "that guy"... I used to distro hop and discovered that every distro has its strengths and weaknesses. Then 2 months ago someone told me about NixOS. I was skeptical at first, as it seemed a bit culty. Now I'm absolutely converted.

The reason is simple. Human instructions on provisioning a system like these (as good as they are) are now obsolete. If you know someone who has a working system, then you can have a working system too, just ask for their configuration. Want to experiment with some new configuration or try a bleeding edge software update? Go ahead, and just roll back if it goes wrong.

With NixOS the operating system is a text file, everything else is just cache.
If car infrastructure was replaced by more transit, pedestrian, and cycling infrastructure, then more people would be able to go into Manhattan and shop and dine.

One or two people per car each taking up 320 sqft of road space and parking space imposes a lower human density limit than most other ways of getting around. And the infrastructure to support it is more expensive on a per-human basis.
Some people still get pregnant with 14, and the next generation makes the same "mistake", as that led to not an ideal family situation and wise parenting. (German here, so no foul play / illegal intercourse happening in most of such cases.)

There are people out there - typically classed as "console warriors", who primarily having seen the Microsoft-Activision purchase - who genuinely believe console companies should buy major third-parties, to bolster their first party line-up, because first party titles typically meant console exclusivity. On other hand, I consider platform exclusives, including that coming as byproduct of being made by a first party dev, as well as exclusive sports/brand licenses[1] as anti-competitive.

[1] See Electronic Arts holding the exclusive Porsche license for several years, or how they were basically monopolizing American/gridiron football market by having the exclusive NFL license.

Also: (I originally replied this part only)

>Convincing the Chinese market to buy even one console, let alone multiple, is unrealistic and platform holders know it.

The greater Asian market is more of a mobile game continent, to be fair. Look at Japan with their "gacha" game subculture; on top of the standard stuff surrounding mobile games, there's also the parasocial aspect associated with them that makes them popular.

I think the reason is because the technical is boring. It's gotta get wrapped up in pretty plug-and-play hardware, customization-forward (social feed that you design!), private (your data is stored right in your home!), etc.

I think it could be aimed well at something like the livestreaming/Twitch/YT community, and build out from that base.

A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved
For some things there is a lot of nuance lost in just writing. The unknowm unknowns.

There has been a lot of times where I am showing someone new to my field something and they stop me before I get to what I thought was the "educational" point and ask what I just did.

Video can portray that pretty well because the information is there for you to see, with a schematic or write-up if the author didn't put it there the information isn't there.
Time will tell but I feel like $15 max 1x/day is too low. Drivers are already likely paying other tolls, expensive monthly parking in Manhattan, gas. Another $15/day is not likely to change behavior.

I'm with you! I thought it was a town for most of the release. I didn't know what "airside" meant either, pardon my ignorance. I've never encountered that word in American English.
I disagree with B. People like slightly detuned oscillators because it makes the sound thicker and bigger. But they like slight detuning around the mathematically perfect ratio. The imperfection emphasizes the ratio in the brain's auditory processing.

This is why many subtractive synthesizers have a detune parameter, to slightly offset oscillators that are nominally tuned to the same frequency. Chorus, phasers, and flangers are similarly used to add texture and color to sounds by using slight frequency or phase delays to create interference signals that make the sound 'move' and make it sound larger and more distinct.

Ok; maybe it has a good set of problems it solves for and clearly documented solutions to them. I just didn’t see a front-and-center treatment of them, or really any. Maybe that’s just me, but I really think any p2p platform needs to be clear to its users about these things. I know I definitely haven’t thought comprehensively of what I might need to be aware of.
Perhaps nonfiction works could be ordered neatly such that the thesis and support material isn't buried, but arranged in a tiered detailed manner conducive to a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-like skipping of material. Short-form and long-form must find a way to coexist and be useful without critical compromise. It's not like everyone has or should need Cliff Notes or getAbstract.

I just set up my first docker swarm cluster. It's not in production yet, just a stage environment, but it is working very well so far, and I like it very much.
From my experience so far I can very much recommend it, and I hope it will get more attention again. Because it does fill the gap which is described in the original post.
Is it tax-advantaged? My impression is that RSU costs count as cash at grant time, which is a good deal (for the company) when the stock is going down but a bad deal when the stock is going up. The RSUs you get are counted as ordinary income when they vest.

Whether this is a good deal for the employee is a bit complicated: you're effectively holding stock for 4 years but taxed at ordinary income rates (as opposed to long term capital gains). On the other hand, if the stock goes up you've locked in being paid substantially above market. During the hot market times this effectively was an option: if they stayed they got stock granted at a low price, but they could leave if a different company was paying more.

Private companies can offer ISOs which do have a nice tax treatment, but this is all predicated on public company buybacks where that doesn't apply.
More ridership demand and more taxes on car owners means more money to build transit. Also a more vocal group of people demanding it.

The VMWare APIs are indeed pretty bad, even the ones on their modern products for some reason (i.e. NSX etc.) where they did adopt more modern methods but still managed to pull a Microsoft with 'one API for you, a different API for us'.

Being pretty bad doesn't mean they don't work of course, but when the best a product has to offer is clickops, they have missed the boat about 15 years ago.
I don’t buy that. While positive leap seconds can be mitigated at the OS level, negative leap seconds need to be supported at the application level.

A positive leap second gives you a discontinuous function from UTC to TAI. But a negative leap second means a function can’t exist at all, because the same timestamp in UTC now corresponds to two moments in time. If someone gives you a timestamp in UTC you can’t know which second it refers to - you would have to switch to giving timestamps in TAI.

I honestly think that a lot of the tech layoffs can be attributed to Elon Musk. When he bought twitter he started a social media campaign attacking developers as pampered, overpayed, etc. He then did the massive layoffs and twitter mostly kept running fine. Other CEOs took notice and have followed suit. Investors love it and have put pressure on the whole industry creating a trend.

It's basically an attack of capital against labor. Maybe we should have listened all those years when people kept saying we needed a tech union.
I have a hard time believing that cocoa is so in-elastic that an 11% drop in supply translates to a 300% increase in price.

The historical significance of the burning of the Library of Alexandria is absolutely overstated but not for the reasons most think. Like most Libraries today, the bulk of the collection most likely consisted of reprints of works that could be found other libraries littered across the Mediterranean. (And there was a LOT of them: (Royal Library of Antioch, Imperial Library of Constantinople, Academy of Gondishapur, not to mention local city libraries) The best analogy I've read was it would be like the equivalent of the library of congress burning; sure we'd lose some stuff but most of the collection still exists in one form or another.

Obviously that isn't to say it wasn't a tragic event, just that in terms works that were forever lost has been vastly overstated in public consciousness.

One thing that we definitely lost forever was all the notations made by contemporary scholars as the Library was a mecca of intellectual thought for hundreds of year... Truely heartbreaking to think about about all the information we could of gleaned about their worldview from the annotations they made on those works.

This is everywhere. I think Uber stopped subsidizing rides so much. For a while it wasn’t that much more than the gas + wear & tear to drive yourself. Totally wild. I’d use them all the time because they were stupid-cheap. Now they cost almost as much as a taxi, and there’s a reason I’d hardly used taxis in my life at all before Uber.

TypeSpec is great, but if you're working with Rust and you're about to write a new project that will require an OpenApi spec sooner or later, I'd like to recommend a web framework that has spec generation baked in:

https://github.com/poem-web/poem (see poem_openapi)

All you need to do is derive a trait on your response structs and in return you get an almost perfectly generated spec. Unions, objects, enums are first class citizens.

Also, if you're from coming from PHP, the controllers feel very much like symfony controllers.

P.s. Please do recommend an ORM that would feel closer to doctrine. I miss doctrine.

MTA Votes to Approve Manhattan Congestion Pricing
I would love if (_consistently available_) $15/day street parking was a thing in Manhattan, it'd be a good deal cheaper than garages and obviously a lot more convenient than keeping your car elsewhere. There isn't much benefit to having a car in Manhattan for day-to-day life, but it would be nice to have for things like day trips. Right now I park my car about 45 minutes away in another borough (at my family's house) so when I do need to drive I have a +90min fixed cost added to my commute time.
It's literally the most used subway system in the United States, and one of the most used in the world. It has an annual ridership of over two billion people. Rail is one of the safest ways of moving people. Out of the two billion rides in 2023 there were 88 deaths and 146 injuries.

Same year, 238 people died and over 100,000 were injured on the road despite a similar share of commuters. So that would make driving at least 3X more dangerous by death toll, and 684X more dangerous by injury count.

Should everyone be forced to wrap themselves in bubble wrap and wear a football helmet when in or anywhere close to a car?
Agree the dependency count is mostly meaninglessly.

What matters is how many vaguely defined "entities" (people/groups/companies) you trust and how trustable each of them is.

Also there are not really zero dependency libraries, you always have some dependencies, e.g. the compiler implicitly is a dependency too. And so is your build system, and your languages standard library, and libc, etc. etc. So obsessing with "0" is like obsessing with "1.0" releases or abusing type systems, i.e. not helpful at all.

Additionally you can have "crate" dependencies, but you pin (or even vendor) them and give them a though "supply chain risk" review and them keep them pinned or require a another review. Sure you still have to keep track of stuff like bug fixed yanked versions etc. But for a lot of smaller crates it's feasible. In difference to some other languages it's quite easy to do so in rust (for many crates, for larger ones which have a lot of functionality where you might need bug fixes, maybe even for security this isn't that viable, but then in most projects there is only a very small number of such dependencies if any (e.g. tokio, rustls).

I concur, being close to the fire it will take years for large organizations to move off their VMware stacks. Inertia of large organizations is a thing, but mostly, there are so many custom integrations made with other systems, lots of them tied up in the vSphere stack.

SDN is one thing but the amount of effort put in vROPS / vRA / vRO etc is not easily replaced. Workflows integrating with backups, CMDB, IAM, Security and what not have no catch all migration path with some import wizards.

Meanwhile, Broadcom will happily litigate where necessary and invoice their way to a higher stock price.

The airframe designers don't decide the seat space per passenger.

They can include all of the spacious reclining seats and lounge sofas as they want in the design, and airlines will spec it with seats and seat pitches that produce the greatest profit per flight by maximizing the number of passengers within the limits of safety regulations.
But it just isn't true. Israel's neighbors can very credibly pose an existential threat, which only external intervention can thwart.

Imagine for example the very realistic scenario where Iran obtains nuclear weapons. Then, should Iran decide to fund a missile blockade of Israel in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, Israel has zero capability to protect shipping. Since Iran would be a nuclear power, it's very obviously not in Israel's interest to escalate to the use of nuclear weapons, so a threat to do so wouldn't be credible.

The only way Israel could achieve its goals in such a scenario is through external intervention, which the Yemenis have shown even now would be difficult.

Israel does need strategic vision, desperately. It's a tiny country that's existentially depend on the US and Western Europe, and doesn't have the industrial capacity to independently defend itself while it's neighbors increasingly can. This is the first time this ever happened - in the past, Israel and it's neighbors were on an equal footing because while Israel couldn't produce its key weapons on it's own, neither could it's neighbors.

This isn't true anymore. It's a momentous strategic shift in the region. What's worse is that this happens at the same time as the balance of power is tipping away from its main allies. What's even worse is that public opinion, especially in the US, is undergoing an unprecedented shift.

Something else that has not been reported on is that China, which historically was agnostic on the issue, now has an official policy that Palestine has the right to armed resistance. It's a sizeable diplomatic shift because historically neither of the dominant powers openly supported armed Palestinian resistance.

If this grand strategem is to take more than 15 years, and it is, it's extremely risky strategically. It's not true that strategic vision past that is unneeded, it's more important now than it ever was. I imagine that many in the leadership of the IDF realize this but that it's just not something that's politically viable to run with.
You are not wrong, but that's why we try to focus on the direct need: shared time to directly collaborate with others in the company, rather than secondary expressions of those needs, like "must be in the US."

It's true that means that this won't be a fit for a lot of people, but that's always the case with every job.

(This is also why our job descriptions tend to not say things like "must have X years of Rust experience" and instead say things like "you will thrive in this role if you appreciate the hard-won thrill of debugging a knotty problem to root cause," because that's focusing on the direct need we have for the position.)
They've also slashed prices https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-27/fisker-sl... . Presumably that's on existing inventory as the manufacturing is paused. So even if they do cash your check it won't be as big as it used to be.

It looks like bankruptcy is imminent. If they do go under does that mean there would be no one there to collect the telemetry? Would an electric car made by a bankrupt company be the first electric car not to constantly be spying on its owners?
