There is probably a lot of stuff you don't know, that would be quite helpful for you. Are you a whiny, spoiled brat, now that you don't know all of it?

No, sometimes you need to know something to see it's value.
This is why I believe the package management tool should be separate from the interpreter management tool. Downloading a random third-party build can be valuable for some, but most people have a good enough interpreter on their machines.

This would also largely invalidate the need to write the package manager in Rust. A Rust program managing Python packages adds an unreasonable barrier to entry and makes Python seem like a toy language if it can't manage its own packages.

Prostitute literature. https://www.6parknews.com/newspark/view.php?app=news&act=vie...

Deconstructing the heroic view of history, no matter what the real history is, makes us understand that every so-called strong person can be as despicable as a prostitute, so that we can only focus on what they are currently doing, not on their past identity

The authoritarianism isn't why sg has a low fertility rate anymore than it being the reason the birth rate is below replacement in the west which isn't considered authoritarian.

> This could have been worse but I wonder what's the point of all the security theater that the US goes through when simple security procedures are not strictly followed.

Wikipedia tells me that they got 44% and had the ability to form a coalition (so, a like-minded other party was there to support them). One can argue that this isn't the majority, but I guess this is open to interpretation. Also I know that Germans didn't support Nazism in order to build gas chambers, but rather because they wanted to have their country fixed in the first place, but enabling degenerates to fix something by any means seems like a degenerate action to me.
Yeah me too. I might as well just try it out myself when I have the time and a project to have fun with.
Why does it seem like there is so much "fad-like appeal" even in the rungs of upper management at large companies. You see it now with AI. Diverting of resources away from projects that, only a few years ago, were yielding good results and could benefit from a refresh now. As recently as 2022, Amazon was giving away very nice AWS promotional credits for skills, and there are some very good ones. You see it with Google's new buildings.

Isn't that more and more becoming the norm? Google immediately comes to mind too, and the only exception is probably Apple, but at times even they throw shit on the market that just doesn't feel polished at all. It's just that more often than not they actually try to make it right then, instead of letting it linger...
That will not necessarily make aider write better commit messages (unless I possibly tell it explicitly why I am doing something in every instruction).
While it's key sequence specific, you can't (in genera) hit the same key faster since you can only hit it the second time after it's been released while you can hit another key while the first one is still down

Another more intuitive solution for menus with long common prefix is to simply type the next unique letter: pa or pb in

PrefixA

PrefixB

No need to type the full PrefixA

If you run out of accelerator keys, any key you type will activate an accelerator, so you wouldn't even have a way to do a sequence? So there is simply mode 2 possible

And folder hierarchies aren't stable unlike menus, so you loose precision if another folder is created /deleted.

Though if you really have to frequently use such long sequences it might be easier to add this folder to a custom favorites panel and use two keys: shortcut to invoke a panel, P accelerator for the name
I don't think the watchlists really do anything. Checking your ID against the boarding pass is just yield management for the airlines. (Compare the cost of a full fare economy ticket 45 minutes before the flight to what some desperate person would sell it to you for, knowing that they either use it or lose it.)
They have a lot of rocks there. The sands are because of the weathering of the rocks. And they have a lot of sun. Which would make grounding of rocks feasible. That could allow them to use desert sand too. Or they might find a mix between traditional and desert sand.. and some special ingredients. who knows!

if you never try, you won't find it out.

It's a way of creative problem solving. If they build it. In the "middle of", suddenly, something is not enough, then you do have to find a solution.

The person you are replying to is arguing the opposite - a future VUI could know your interests and just read you out the one relevant event rather than reading a list.

Alternatively it could summarise into “there’s a standup comedy gig, a few bands and various classes - what sort of thing are you looking for?” and then discuss with you to find the 2-3 events that are most relevant rather than reel off one big list.
If you had read the data before commenting you would have noticed that it is all PPP-adjusted.
Yeah for example 8chan and kiwifarms are usually censored. I'm not that mad about it, some censorship is always necessary (you don't want links to child porn), but it's weird that Wikipedia pretends there is no censorship. And it's kind of arbitrary.

Why is stormfront - an openly nazi forum (a really old one at that) - allowed, but kiwifarms - an anti-trans doxxing forum - isn't? It's both bad
This is a live hypothesis for the Yeniseian languages, the Siberian languages that are most likely to be related to North American languages. The Yeniseian languages are very unlike other nearby languages. So it’s possible they represent a back-migration from America into Siberia.

> The software runs slowly because large amounts of unnecessary data are being sent to the users

/s/to/from
I think the lesson from the article is that we should be things about issues like slow loading speed, overly chunky page weight, lag etc as bugs. The reason so many teams don't fix these problems is because they frame them as business problems instead of tech problems. We've all seen a team lament "our app would be fast if only we were given time to fix it!" By framing loading time delays as a bug, you're much more likely to get that time.
Somewhat related, but Wikipedia actually has a "special page" for searching external links, which I've had a lot of fun with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch

You can e.g. search for all external links to HN, to pg's website, or to any Twitter user's tweets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=news...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=paul...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=twit...

You can also use it to get a sense of the adoption rates of new gTLDs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=*.ng...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=*.de...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=*.pr...

This is how I feel. But I’ve had enough. I’m seriously considering leaving the field, it doesn’t bring me joy anymore.

I think there are blue collar jobs that aren’t too hard on your body that have some of the elements we enjoy in SE while having more concrete results (and a clear “it is done” point).

But the grass is always greener so who knows.

> If you zoom in sufficiently at x = 0, f(x) = sin(x) looks indistinguishable from f(x) = x, whereas g(x) = cos(x) looks indistinguishable from g(x) = 1.

You can't use the plot as you only know the triangle definition yet. (And "looks indistinguidable" is rather handwavy).

That only tells you that sin(0)=0

Incompetent management is something of the norm in software engineering. Large successful companies have a deepish management hierarchy (4+ levels) and the competence of the org is capped by the least competent manager in the chain - who tends to be nontechnical and confused. Small companies have the ability to be more competent, but correspondingly tend not to have the resources to be influential players in the market.

I would expect that typical - maybe even above average - performance by software companies is accompanied by some breathtaking stories of management failure. If it were possible for a company to not make any mistakes in its software development it'd probably be a never-before-seen fountain of wealth creation.
Depends. Some super micro boards, the BMC interface was shared with primary on board NIC and could be disabled. Some were a separate port. Iirc, using a separate third party NIC would prevent BMC functionality
From ageism to sexism in a single comment thread.
Avoiding child support is a personal issue that can have many reasons. For all we know the woman swore she was on birth control, yet Jobs could have found out later from a mutual female friend that the woman secretly stopped taking it because she really wanted a child with a high networth individual. I personally know someone that this exact thing happened to. Is it wrong to withhold child support in that case? Probably still yes. But that's not exactly the same as just withholding child support because you don't think the woman you had a child with knowingly stopped loving you and wanted to go separate ways. If you got basically defrauded and forced into having a child because someone wanted monetary gain, you might have different opinions.

And trying to stop skyrocketing salaries fueled by endless poaching is also bad, but trying to only pay your employees 3-10x the median local salary its not the same as trying to flat out not pay someone.

I've thought up this exact scam before while standing in line to board a flight and watching people being cavalier with their boarding passes.

I suspect others have successfully pulled it off before and this guy was the first to get caught because of a full flight.

My back seat driver solution: have cameras that takes a picture of the person presenting the boarding pass, the shutter is triggered by the pass scanner. If a pass is scanned twice, bring up the photo of the person who scanned it the first time and grab them. But it's a whole lot of tech to solve a problem that probably rarely happens.

Who is the victim in adultery? The only injury is to some nebulous honor of the husband or wife. The actual problem is something the three people involved can sort out between themselves like grown-ups. No legal protections are needed.

We generally don’t have honor-based injuries in Western legal systems nowadays. Blasphemy, lèse-majesté, offenses against nobility privileges — these used to be serious crimes but not anymore. Penalizing adultery is part of that same outdated value system.

LLMs require either more local power (=way more expensive devices) or more server power, which someone has to pay. Power users aren't paying, as they;ll get better results through their computer or phone to access the LLM of their choice. Casual users aren't paying either, as what they want to do is too low stakes to warrant higher costs.

Amazon will probably never completely kill Alexa, but I don't see them investing much more to advance the product in any significant ways.
Here in Sweden the banks have been hard at work removing all physical contact for 20 years or so.
