This was really fun. I dunno if t3/t4 are based in anything specific but most of this is surprisingly sharp, while also being ridiculous.

What surprises me most is that we have tried so many things, except most apps are a handful of bundles, and even more wildly, almost all work happens on the main thread still! React's vdom has given us a very nice & performant Immediate Rendering (vs Retained Rendering) view, and we've dabbled with unidirectional data flow, signals, whatever graphql is, and other abstractions, but the core "where and how does work happen" model hasn't been much iterated on.

Now we are very busy figuring out React Server Components and doing other page rehydration works, which indeed can shift much of the work out of main thread. But the client has been somewhat stuck, somewhat patterned into monolithic main thread patterns forever, and few have tried to push beyond that. Even with wasm happening, it still seems like few are using web workers to divide up where the work happens, which feels like it could be such a giant win for keeping the page crisp & responsive, for thickening the client effectively.
It’s better than running it on a separate server but if you’re using Postgres you’re always hitting the network stack on the machine, with SQLite that isn’t the case.
I worked for a top tier bank back in the day and I remember when squatters took over a neighboring building that (I think) the bank owned but was empty. It took months to get the squatters evicted, and we were reminded weekly to not disturb the squatters. I found the whole situation quite absurd.

Flexbox is a lifesaver, except when it isn't (I didn't know grid was a thing until last night, but it really solved a usecase I struggled with quite a bit with a flexbox)

If what they're doing, as they claim, isn't illegal then let the courts decide it and set precedent for others. You can't go arbitrary advocating violence outside the bounds of the law, of it's against the law they should be kicked out, if it's not against the law let property owners get the laws updated.... I'm sure as a class they've got plenty of sway in the UK.
This is really well said. The malfunction is almost when it spews out something that happens to align with reality. It's actually us who are hallucinating its correct answers, not it who is hallucinating incorrect ones. It's like a stopped clock being right twice a day except if you expand the number of hours on the clock to trillions but it's still right the same percentage of time. The scale of right answers makes this seem impressive to us but it masks the reality of the scale of wrong answers we haven't seen yet.
Indeed. I had disputes with my bank on that and even digitization ministry of my country. Both are breaking the law on this field but I can't do anything about it. To proceed in such cases I use number of trusted person.
These are great recommendations, thanks!
This is happening more in the U.S. (or at least being reported more). Getting these people out can take weeks to months using the court system. If the police aren't willing or able to evict trespassers, I suspect that people who can't afford to have their property tied up for that long will resort to . . . private eviction services.
Is that a multi semaphore/mutex primitive? Something to try and resolve the perf and/or correctness issues you can hit when dealing with multiple locks (ie things like straight deadlocks `a.lock();b.lock()` vs `b.lock();a.lock()` vs `a.lock();b.lock()` alongside threads just using the sub locks independently)
…while the heat pump dryers take longer to dry…

I’m not even sure how true that is with the latest all-in-one washer/dryer combos. The ones released in the U. S. just this year, one of which we have (GE) can do a full load wash and dry in about two hours, which is probably about how long our old separate units would take. Or at least close enough that we don’t notice or care. A load of blankets might be 2.5 hours.

And if takes a few minutes longer, the lack of a vent and the fact that it runs on a 120V plug more than makes up for it.
> You are woefully misinformed if you think that doctors have a significant say in their day to day work.

But then, I did not say that.

I said doctors get more respect as they gain experience, which is true.
To take this explanation a step further: the intuition that someone should have is that the police can't meaningfully do anything here, since they're not equipped (much less competent) to evaluate private agreements without an independent finding of fact from a court.

Generalizing the GP's desired outcome here would be a civil liberties nightmare: the police would either need to be informed of every private deal I make (no thanks), or would be empowered to determine on the spot whether I'm "rightfully" living where I say I do. Most people would rather have a society with occasional squatters and winding legal decisions than one where the police can snoop your lease agreement or unilaterally kick you out of your house in the middle of the night.
Fun fact: Switzerland with a population of 8.8 million emits more greenhouse gases than Kenya, a country with 54 million people. The costs of the climate crisis will be disproportionately borne by those who benefited the least from industrialization.
> Because their money is what differentiates them from their friends, they start believing that their money is why they have friends.

Is that an irrational belief? There do exist people who use other people for their money. It is a small portion of people, but they still exist. However nobody is using a poor person for their money.

Being stingy about small amounts of money gets rid of the fake friends and mostly does not affect the real friends (because nobody actually cares about $5 for a coffee). For a poor person there is no need to do this so they don't.

Yes, I also have the impression that the whole SSR story is a step backwards. Especially with the prevalence of CDNs nowadays.

I actually felt something like that, both times I played the LA Noire video game, years apart.

(It's a film noire-ish detective story set in booming postwar Los Angeles, with a mostly open world you can drive around in accurate models of period cars, and walk around.)

I didn't feel that because it was a nice social environment (it wasn't), nor did I want to be the traditional white male head of household (it was especially not-nice for POC and women), and I actually dislike cars.

I think what caused the feeling was the immersion in the prosperity, and new/recent construction, which seemed accessible to most. (While in real life living in overpriced, deteriorating old New England apartments.) I'd guess the game atmosphere like background music also contributed.

It's a persistent general feeling of curiosity tinged with melancholy while in the game, longing for something I want maybe more than I realize, but that I believe doesn't exist or is inaccessible.

Storing a pointer to memory that you did not explicitly allocate is always a red flag, I think. You really need to understand how everything works, and be very careful.

I would default to just using std::unique_ptr<Node> in a situation like this, especially since using std::list suggests performance isn't critical here, so the additional indirection probably doesn't matter.
Breaking down Cass Review myths and misconceptions
Is it that bad? I'm on a relatively reduced salary due to ISOs in a company that wants to exit in the next couple of years, and a stock valuation that keeps going up (per audits) in the last years. It's also still expanding quickly. The company even did a raise and let some of us sell a percentage of our shares to the private buyer.

This is not Silicon Valley, but a fintech. Given I have not only my time but 10s of k of my money tied up in options due to strike price going up with each grant, in what way am I risking getting screwed?

In the comments here, it seems like I have a 60+ percentage chance of getting screwed through a dilution or other. However it doesn't feel that way.

What should I be on the lookout for? The Paperwork is dozens of pages long and I'm not an attorney.
Gamers have a TON of really good really affordable options. But you kind of need 24gb min unless you're using heavy quantization. So 3090 and 4090's are what local llm people are building with (mostly 3090's as you can get then for about $700, and they're dang good)
Heat pumps also waste less because they’re not venting the air that your furnace or heat pump worked so hard to heat up.
Thank you this is helpful. The genetic part makes sense to me, my wife has PCOS and they have a history of ovarian problems in their family. There are studies linking PCOS and autism and to high levels of testosterone.

The mystery to me was why they are so different.

If (non-profit) hospitals that made profits were taxed, those hospitals would simply start building, donating to their charitable foundation, or using some other accounting tricks to make that profit disappear.

Well, of course! Redis is not (and has never been) a database, it's a data structure server, at best described as a cache. If jobs are added faster than they're removed, this is straight queueing theory 101 -- ideally you'd reject jobs at add-time, but otherwise you have to drop them.
As a full stack dev that wants to be backend: Fully agree with you there. Frontend is so much more of a pain for me than backend because so much of it just seems bad in terms of usability for no real reason.
Kate + LSP servers can get you really far as a pseudo-IDE. It's one of my favorite editors.

If you want to use it on other platforms, though, you have to dig around Gitlab build artifacts to grab recent successful builds. Looks like that may have changed.
Was about to say the same thing... that method takes like 20 arguments. Types are the only thing making it usable.
One of my sons had a heart defect needing open heart surgery when he was 5 days old (it went fine!). In connection to that he was enrolled in a scientific study. Apparently when you are in a heart and lung machine as an infant (<1 month old) the pressure in the machine is so great compare to the normal pressure that the blood cells break creating free radicals. These free radicals can in turn create damage in the brain which can later on cause problems with executive functions and complex reasoning. Autistic people also have problems with executive functions (my other son has Asperger’s). Now I’m not saying that free radicals cause autism but maybe they modulate it when the same parts of the brain are affected by them during infancy.
This represents pretty well how gamers (residential buyers) are going to feel when the next generation of consumer cards are scooped up for AI.
I didn't switch from Windows to Mac because the Mac was somehow "snappier". I switched because I did plenty of tech support at work and at home I wanted something that 'just worked'. Apple is far from perfect in that way and if Windows could beat Apple I would consider switching back. However at this point Windows has a LONG way to go to be better than Apple, even with the issues I sometimes have with them.
Isn't all of recorded human history up until 2022 enough to train a pretty smart ai? It'll miss out on future trends, but some targeted training on trusted news sources should be enough. Eventually languages will change enough that the old training data will seem dated, but that's going to take a while to happen.
Isn’t nearly all personal property the result of private dealings between private individuals? We seem to be capable of, for instance, using force to prevent a bank robbery or recover money stolen in a bank robbery.
Ozempic face is just "people who have lost weight" face. You can lose weight using calorie counting and exercise and making the best of your macros, and you'll still end up with "Ozempic face". Like, Drew Carey and Al Roker lost a ton of weight before Ozempic, good for them, they ended up with "dudes who just plain lost weight" face. Just a thing that happens. We all change as we age and work through things.
I can look at that and guess, but I was thinking a mechanical engineer might be able to speak more about why, than my own intuition.
The OECD economists are pretty smart cookies, and account for government services delivered in kind (like healthcare). The net adjusted household disposable income includes the value of government provided healthcare: https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/topics/income/ (“Household adjusted disposable income includes income from economic activity (wages and salaries; profits of self-employed business owners), property income (dividends, interests and rents), social benefits in cash (retirement pensions, unemployment benefits, family allowances, basic income support, etc.), and social transfers in kind (goods and services such as health care, education and housing, received either free of charge or at reduced prices).”) So the income top line in European countries is higher than the actual income to account for the value of those services.

> On the other hand, the example they provided with the software engineer might also be that the person is on the spectrum and doesn’t know better (not unique to having more money) or is just a hyper-logical engineer and wouldn’t think of doing it another way (maybe this is just a nice way to describe autism, but still…).

Alternatively - different groups have different cultural norms around money and how to behave with it. I don't really think you have to bring autism into it. Fact is as a society we are not one homogeneous culture - there are tons of minor variations all with their own cultural norms. What's rude to one group is polite to another and vice versa.
It is, but some of these patches were originally from ubuntu side
My wife is the same way. She has an almost supernatural ability to determine which direction is north no matter where we are. But she gets lost immediately in game worlds. Even with a minimap and player icons she is constantly getting separated and needs someone to backtrack.

I’m the opposite. I can’t tell you which way north is from my own house. It takes me quite a while to get a feel for where things are in relation to each other in the real world. But in game worlds I’m quite comfortable navigating. Even in 3d zero gravity environments like in Shipbreaker where you have to quickly reorient yourself while salvaging the ship and you’ve got to let go of the concept of up and down as absolutes. Of course, never having been to space, I have no idea if it would translate or if I’d just be a motion sick mess with no frame of reference.
As someone who paid off their student loans in full, I'm happy for those who are getting loan forgiveness.

Trump's 2017 tax bill gave away trillions mostly to rich business owners. Another trillion was dumped on them during COVID via PPP.

So if we can forgive a fraction of the debt for the working class that came of age when a degree was sold as a requirement for entry into the middle class, then great, all for it.

I know people who were required to get an MS in education to teach. The only option for certain education specialties in the region was a private school. Teaching is hardly a lucrative career, the public service they provide is necessary, forgive the debt via PSLF.

The government makes policy all the time that benefits certain groups, that's reality
Google all but abandoned Utah, as soon as we got municipal fiber in most cities (Utopia). Utopia was built out by government issued bonds and shares 0 physical infrastructure with Google. Google refused to participate in the program, because they didn’t like the idea of dark fiber where anyone could “choose a provider”.

Google wanted a monopoly.

The nice thing is that they can properly screw off, because now we have dozens of better options where I’m supporting the little guy instead of Silicon Valley Big Tech.
The entire value proposition of Redis is that it operates out of memory, and therefore has memory-like performance. (edit: And doesn't provide the benefit of, and therefore pay the costs related to, ACID-like consistency guarantees.) If you move it to disk (edit: Or try to assert ACID-like consistency or transactional guarantees) there's little reason to use Redis any more.
Are there any specific lessons you think would apply to a collaborative encyclopedias of scientific topics? It seems to me that OEIS can only scale because it enjoys some of the same advantages as Wikipedia: the individual articles are highly compartmentalized (non-leaky abstractions), and there is very little need for adjudication of technical disputes. These would not apply to Stack Project or other comprehensive technical encyclopedias.
Umm, the topic is game CDs, not music.
What’s so special about rent here that makes it so difficult for police to evaluate? Surely rent is not particularly confounding compared to, say, theft or kidnapping.
You could equally find it absurd with current rent/property prices that a building is empty. Don't get me wrong, if I was a property owner, I'd probably argue the other way. But I'm very worried nowadays whether my kids will ever have affordable housing when they become adults.
Not at all.

The tax rates aren’t the same and non-profits aren’t forbidden from hiring businesses for contracts, pooling money,
buying property, nor securing loans.

It’s a good model for small NPs. It’s rife for large scale corruption at the scale of hundreds or thousands of employees.

The point is that we see executive salaries for NPs that match salaries for for-profits. That indicates a broken system.
What prevents anyone else from breaking in and claiming they live there and that the squatters are trying to evict them illegally?
You can disable that in the settings, it's under the "Backup" category.
If that itch might be saying "do more to shape the future", one way to scratch it is by working with young people. Mentor a robotics team or something.
I'm a former news editor for a metro newspaper. I love journalism and believe strongly in the need for the Fourth Estate. But the business model that previously fueled quality journalism no longer works.

I am highly confident that powerful entities (people, corporations, and governments) are getting away with much, much more malfeasance these days than they did in the '50s-'90s, when the news industry was well respected and well funded. Investigative reporters, reporters with the bandwidth to doggedly pursue a story for months or years, even boring old statehouse reporters ... they've nearly all been defanged through countless budget cuts. It's a vicious cycle. Jobs get cut, the quality of the content suffers, people lose trust and cancel subscriptions, revenue drops, repeat.

Ultimately, it's the rich and powerful who benefit from the dearth of quality journalism and the hostility toward the media stirred up by several prominent political figures. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and there is far less sunlight now than a couple of generations ago.
A radical idea!

Politics shouldn't be shunned because politics permeate all aspects of life, from individuals to populations, including, of course, business. If we can't have civilised discussions about politics, then it's a different problem.

Google's german corpus turns up a few hits from 1850s and 1860s but without preview. Later hits are bibliographical entries for american naturalist books, such as Check List of the Ferns of North America North of Mexico (1875); I get the impression aficionados were supposed to "check off" each species until they'd "seen them all" but am not really sure.

NB. Google frequently mis-years books (easily double-checked against title page or anachronistic references); I should really check on Gallica or whatever the german equivalent may be...

I have no idea, but that’s not the point. The funding they put into each state’s education budget, combined with that state’s policy effectively limits hiring.
When there is nothing to talk about, talking about the leader is lame, but as we have seen is pretty effective. A democratic Republic is at its best when its institutions are independent and just. What we have seen here is the dismantling of a republic. If this become complete, it would serve as a case study.
