When I was 8, I told my mom I wanted to be a garbage man because I figured they got off really early to play since they were up so early to throw away trash, and they were providing a societal benefit that didn't require schooling (My teacher, Mrs. Morgan, was a complete asshole). My 11 year old nephew wants to go to the Navy to cook because he loves cooking and once saw a show about the mess halls there.

Kids have kid dreams.
The problem is that car-dependence is a problem with a lot of hysteresis to it:

If everyone already has cars, it takes a lot to get people out of cars --- if someone already has a car, taking the bus to go somewhere slower than driving is completely out of the question. Conversely, if everyone doesn't have cars, it takes a lot to get people to drive cars due to the upfront cost of car ownership.

I think more transit-oriented city development is definitely the way to go. But nibbling away at the problem is going to take a long time. I think robotaxis are definitely going to play a part in this: by being compatible with existing car-dependent infrastructure and providing a similar speed and flexibility as privately owned cars, existing car owners are more likely to give up personal car ownership. Once people stop owning cars, they would be more amenable to development that gets rid of parking spots, improves walkability, increases density, implements mass transit, and so on.
Good news, if you get charged and change your name they won't find you later!

Mounting hardware like that can easily cost nearly as much as the panels with how cheap panels can be right now, and the cost of the extra labor to install standoffs.
Rails' "russian doll" caching also integrates the path to the template and (if I remember well) a digest of the template's code, which allows for better cache keying in-context. I have been asked a few times about cache key generation for this purpose but that's not what the article focuses on - generating great cache keys is a separate form of art.
Automatic Reminder for Online Returns
Orderly connects to your email, pulls in all of your orders, crawls the web for those retailers' returns policy, and reminds you to make returns so you don't lose your refund.

Pretty damn helpful
No, you don’t need perfect management for that. It is not rocket science, WFA success can be replicated by most teams.
It makes me happy I can do nearly everything Geek Squad can do, maybe even more in some cases, especially since it's a skill apparently valued so high. I could charge 50% of what Best Buy does and still make a profit, hah.
Superpowers? Delusions? What are you talking about? I literally just watched the show (and read the book a few years ago). I cannot tell what you are referring to. Everything that happens in the show, happened in the book too, as far as I can tell.
Here's an explanation for it – https://xkcd.com/2914/. If you are not in the path of totality you aren't really seeing "the eclipse". The difference between 20% or 50% or even 90% covered is very minor.
I use it daily and I would be the first person to agree that it isn't 100% perfect, but not in the way you are assuming. The flaws it has are that it errs on the side of being too cautious.
Only halfway related because it's travel, but I wonder what the eclipse will do for operations at DFW.
A lot of modern keyboards allow you to swap out switches, which means switch latency is not inherently linked to a keyboard.

It also completely ignores ergonomics. A capacitive-touch keyboard would have near-zero switch latency, but be slower to use in practice due to the lack of tactile feedback. And if we're going down this rabbit hole, shouldn't we also include finger travel time? Maybe a smartphone touch screen is actually the "best" keyboard!
I've never seen a kanban board in a bakery
This is actually a feature. A good API for public consumption is a specific thing to build with intentionality.

If your tech stack forces you to build an API in order to put a basic webpage together and handle form data, that is the red flag.
> So you think your landlord is eating those costs and not passing them on to you in your rent? You seriously think they are running a charity?!?

Obviously not, but since my rent is low enough then I don't care. They can only be passing $1200 in costs along to me because that's what I'm paying.

My rent being lower than costs for homes is what works in my favor. I lose money forever but it's a relatively small amount of money. The rest of my money can go somewhere else.
Personally I didn't use an ethnicity filter (was there one?) a long time ago when I was using dating sites. But there are a lot of legitimate non-racist cultural reasons why someone might!

For instance, if one wants a lot of extended family around, being very involved with your family, Indian culture is phenomenal (I'm only adjacent to that via my in-law's spouse, and they treat us as their own too). It's rare to find White Americans -- at least on the West Coast whose families are so close-knit. Of course, some people probably don't want that and would rather visit every few weeks and be at arm's length from their families.

Obviously other examples abound, such as races that may serve as a proxy for religious belief, useful for the devout.
It's not nothing, but we'd also need to agree on a web of trust and to be on the look-out for the absence of the trust signal. And even then, you can point a legit camera at a Star Trek re-run and "prove" the existence of Klingons.

Took a while before we bothered looking for padlocks in every website, and even that system can be (and has been) abused.
I hesitate to use the word 'bloat', but ever since DKE4 with that Avahi service or whatever it was, that's the impression I've had of KDE. It almost feels like a separate OS on top of an OS.

I guess it's just not for me. About a year ago I discovered AwesomeWM and just how flexible and configurable it is - I can truly have a 100% completely customized desktop down to every detail.

Even without that though I'd probably opt for something like XFCE if I wanted something with a desktop and taskbar. There's just no good reason a desktop has to be as heavy as more popular options. Even the Windows desktop isn't as heavy.
And yet, to deny that there's a difference in social ramifications for saying, "No blacks, fats, or femmes," to someone's face in a bar, versus only swiping right on people who could be mistaken for your twin/parent, is to deny reality. The point is that the technology makes a qualitative difference.

>I am Indian-American

What caste? That is to say, what was your ancestors' equivalent experience of racism? Persecutor or persecuted? This is relevant because you seem to have brought up your identity to lend credence to your argument as a person of color. I think it's fair to fully unpack that.
In a democracy? Do you mean taxation?
Funny how she made that out to be anti-Black and anti-Asian without confirming a similar bias against Black men and Asian women. It's almost as if it went counter to her desired narrative.
PP was referring to the home computing needs, not work. geek squad is only for consumers more or less.

very true, my kids and wife dont really email enough to need a keyboard, just message or app messages, banking and watching videos and shopping all done on phone or MAYBE tablet. Cloud stores all the photos and documents. You can do your taxes on the phone, which is probably the most complicated “home” task majority of people do.
Did anyone else not have a dream job when they grew up? I would give an answer when pressured, usually something with a fun name like anesthesiologist, but that was just to placate the adults.
Just to be clear, are you asking about syncing passkeys across devices (ostensibly within the same ecosystem)? Or exporting passkeys between different ecosystems?

The typical use case for passkeys is that you can register multiple passkeys on an account, representing each authorized device. Each device can have its own distinct passkey provider. Services like 1Password allow you to sync passkeys between different devices, but those all stay within the 1Password ecosystem. 1Password also lets you export passwords and passkeys to different credential managers, but that's a one-off operation, presumably because you're leaving that ecosystem for another.

There seems to be entire swathes of researchers that are just producing content for the culture war. Saying sexual preference is a form of prejudice is certainly a hot take.
SwiftUI Wrangling
My gut reaction is similar. If you ignore the victim focused narrative of the article, I think there is still a reasonable case to be made that some users could be served better.

Some users may be more or less open minded than the predictive model on dating sites.

It seems like the best practice would be to give users a choice over how much screening the model does.
People have trained cows to take riders, which is a step towards the battlecow.
Thanks for making this app! I've been using it for the past week or so. I've played around with some open source stuff but for some reason it's been enough hassle that I haven't stuck with it.

The "this conversation is completely private" messages are also oddly reassuring.
Your solution it's similar to sharutils.
>This is the reason I don't use mechanical keyboards; I can't activate the key in a reasonable time.

From what I understand, non-mechanical keyboards need the key to bottom out to actuate, whereas mechanical switches have a separate actuation point and do not need to be fully pressed down. In other words mechanical switches activate earlier and more easily. What you said seems to imply something else entirely.
You said you don't consider water in the US to be potable. That's a much stronger claim than saying you don't entirely trust some of the peopel that work in government and certify the water.

Besides, I'm sure you can find independent studies verifying the water quality.
>What we're seeing is just the market price.

There is no market price when there is no competition. You cannot have a free market without competition.

The Indian subcontinent has a major confounding variable in the caste system. Different castes have lived side by side with almost no genetic mixing for nearly 2k years. It’s truly anomalous among genetic histories throughout the world.

Why do you say robotaxis specifically here, compared to taxis, or rideshare apps, public transit, etc.? It seems like the benefits you list for robotaxis apply to the others too.
If you want only the other half of it (terminal “window management”), there’s dvtm.

For a short while I tried using dtach + dvtm instead of screen but I wasn’t really gaining anything
OK so I'm confused about this. I live in Southern California, in a pretty populated area. if you search Google or yelp, there are virtually no at home services like this besides geek squad. But surely there must be a need? If you look on Nextdoor, people are constantly asking for help with TV, computers, phones, etc.

but even more than hardware: software! the amount of stuff that horse wearing on people's devices with iCloud and other consumer software services is mindboggling.

So what happened to all the independent small businesses? Is there simply not a need? Or is there an opportunity here for a bunch of college kids to put some vinyl graphics on their cars and create their own local equivalent of geek squad? it honestly seems like rape territory, especially in an age where people are less and less connected to the technicalities of their devices, peripherals, etc.

It is a hilarious way of writing but it is quite common to find people who are fearful of new technology. In the 1890s I'm sure that people fearful of motor vehicles would consider it a "pretty poor use of money" to buy a "horseless carriage".
This is one of the hidden costs of a low-trust society.
I hate promises. Writing:

The article was specifically upset with Google and Apple for not letting you export across ecosystems. So, I'm specifically asking how they think that could work.

Am I misreading the article on that?
Are these mini-flats empty? If not they are soaking up demand. (If they are they are losing money to investors.)

Sure, there are definitely buyers/owners of housing units who end up leaving said units empty, but it's the extreme exception to the brutal trend of putting everything on the market because prices are so high: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1270344/vacancy-rate-dev... (I tried to find the dataset on destatis.de, but no luck, and the ones I found were not year-by-year. Which makes me question here Statista got their data.)

Let me spam this link here too https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/market-rate-housing-will-make-... , Noah does a literature review and goes through very solid studies (strong methodology, realistic effect size) ... supply and demand works.

Germany. Famous wild west of construction! :D People can build whatever wherever! I think you drastically underestimate the process problems plaguing construction.

Laws that mandate bigger projects with taller (and more) buildings at the same time (so more efficient construction) would be very useful. Cities ought to shepherd these redevelopments, but they are captured and paralyzed by various 'special interests'. (Usual tragedy of the anticommons.)
Hopefully that stat is for kids who are at least a bit older than these
Shouldn’t the replication crisis cause the reuse to fail? ;)
From the article: "Williams urged dating platforms to do more to improve the experience for minority users and protect them when they encounter racism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism."

Is it now transphobia if you go on a date and a person, it turns out, has failed to disclose a key detail about their sex, and as a result you reject them? I'm trying to figure what kind of other situation they might be referring to here.

I am all in favor of someone being called to account for seeking out someone (because they're trans) on false pretenses in order to humiliate them or something, but if people are being upfront as they should be, it is unclear to me what transphobia harms they're talking about.
> What caste? That is to say, what was your ancestors' equivalent experience of racism? Persecutor or persecuted?

This seems strange: to label entire people as either the victims or perpetrators of racism solely based on their caste.
Agreed on most of this except for the takeaway (seems to be a theme haha).

In the end, I still ended up using F#, since it was only about 30 minutes of copy/pasting the classes/etc over once, and for the rest of the time in development I got to stay in F# land.

To be explicit, I did do what you say here. I scaffolded things out in C#, then just copied/translated that over to F# calls. All the APIs still work just fine.
Yup. Larger properties round here are going for £50-150k above last sale price (last sales being 4-6 years). It's madness.
Not a fair comparison, probably, but I swore off of gnome-terminal ~20 years ago because it was using half of my cpu while compiling a kernel. Xterm used ~2%.
Wait, how did remote first work in the 60s? Did they post in punchcards? TTYs weren't really much of a thing at that stage, were they?
I believe it’s perfectly fine to say “I do not like the appearance of X”, “I do not like how the voice of Y sounds”, etc. Very few would argue that we should just command ourselves to like or not like some quality in a person.

If, while gaining life experience, we learn to generalize (say, you find you never seem to romantically appreciate people who live in a particular geographic area), then that’s just that; if we are careful that this does not spill over into other areas of life then that’s your prerogative.

I imagine this sort of generalization may cause one to miss out on interesting people, but that’s individual’s own business. I shouldn’t feel entitled that you like me; if I suspect you not liking me is a result of that sort of over-optimization on your part, then that’s tragedy but such is life.
iPhones and Android phones don't exist? Perhaps all Android phones are $200 and don't support HDR.

There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut.

The same for monitors. There's 4K OLEDs hitting the market hitting about 80% rec 2020 and completely covering Display P3.

Your display market knowledge is a few years outdated.
What more appropriate technique could you want, when you need to screen for a position that is itself useless, in an unfair employment environment?

> I get paid more than my non tech peers yet still functionally have less spending power than a 25 year old from 30 years ago

This seems like some non-generic case specific to your situation and not representative of the average experience.

The median income in 1994 for over-25-year-olds (men only!) was $25,465 [0], women was less than half of that. Let's go with the figure for men for the sake of discussion.

$25,465 in 1994 is the buying power of $55k today [1]. $55k is the 56th percentile [2], so right where we'd expect it to be.

---

1994: median home price $142,200 [3], interest rate 30-year fixed: 8.38% [4]

Principal balance $113,760 @ 8.38%, payment (P&I): $865, or 3.4% of annual income

---

2024: median home price $384,500 [5], interest rate 30-year fixed: 7% [6]

Principal balance $307,600 @ 7%, payment (P&I): $2,046, 3.7% of annual income

---

Opinion incoming: I think there are 2 things that make 'today' seem more expensive than 'back then': implacable consumerism, and the natural change of places over time (ie, gentrification & co).

w/r/t consumerism, the load on both 'necessary' and discretionary spending has increased big-time - people were not generally paying for broadband, smartphones, gaming consoles, home espresso machines, soundbars, portable speakers, media players, printers/copiers/scanners, I could go on forever. Look around you and count how many things straight-up didn't exist in 1994 (or were reserved for the ultrawealthy or for business). We could do without them today, but it would feel really bad, as if we're not participating in society or making use of its advancement.

w/r/t gentrification, many places today are more desirable than they used to be, and their increase in price is a function of demand rather than of inflation, so it feels like the economics of living got away from people who weren't already bought in. But it's not that "everything" got so much more expensive, it's that, for example, Akron OH used to be more expensive than San Jose (!!) because farming was the center of industry. Now the world changed and what used to be a pretty rural town full of fruit trees is the most expensive metro in the country. It's not because "houses got more expensive" per se, it's that the world changed.

>BTW, remember, most people still have 60hz monitors. Min latency can only be 16.6ms, and "fast as possible" is just going to vary inbetween 16.6 and 33.3ms.

No the minimum will be 0ms, since if the signal arrives just before the monitor refreshes then it doesn't need to wait. This is why people disable VSync/FPS caps in videogames - because rendering at higher than <60FPS> means that the latest frame is more up-to-date when the <60Hz> monitor refreshes.

The maximum monitor-induced latency would be 16.6ms. Which puts the average at 8.3ms. Again, not counting CPU/GPU latency.

33.3ms would be waiting about two frames, which makes no sense unless there's a rendering delay.
Yeah, I wanted to be a "nuclear physicist" because I thought explosions were cool, and obviously nuclear explosions were the biggest kind. So obviously a nuclear physicist will be researching how to be able to make even bigger explosions!

Obviously as I grew up, knowing that a) ostensibly the point of being able to make those explosions is to ensure they don't actually happen and b) knowing what we'd use that deterrence power for really took the wind out of my sails. Plus somehow it pays less than software, which I actually had more of a passion for than explosions (though I still respect a good explosion to this day). So yeah. Kids will give pretty arbitrary answers to this question even if they think they do have one.
I see that it compares with paying with a card. In my opinion & experience, it's the same.

What would be a good comparison would be paying with a phone vs paying with cash. I think paying with cash would help you realise how much you spend.
A solid choice. Far more fulfilling than navigating the nonsense of an average tech job.
