Gas dryers often run 120V because they’re only running a small blower and a motor to spin the drum. You’re probably in much better shape to find an inline unit that can handle that amperage.

First gas dryer I could find at best buy: LG 7.4 cu ft (beefy boy) needs 11.5 amps. I’d be shocked if you can’t find a 15A smart plug.

OP here,

As some have noted, I’m not actually against tests. Quite the contrary - I’ve been practicing TDD since 2013. My approach to software is driving emergent design by TDD, initially via an E2E test, then via fast, integrative acceptance tests that exercise features while faking IO. I do write unit tests for very specific and pure pieces of software that embody a business domain, such as algorithms or validations.

What I abhor is compulsively writing mockist unit tests for all classes or functions with the goal of satisfying some coverage metrics. These are hurting you thrice: you waste time writing them and maintaining them; you get a false sense of confidence because you have “full coverage”; and when trying to refactor, they hold you back.

Sure, but it says he made sure to board before the correct passenger… it didn’t alarm for him because he was the first. When the second passenger came through, they would ask them for ID and it would be correct because it was actually them.

People who have not been exposed to math heavy content on a routine basis often have the unrealistic expectation of understanding everything on first read. That almost never happens unless the paper is very close to the reader’s own field of expertise. Denser papers, in fact, may take days of effort to fully internalize even for someone mathematically inclined and accustomed to reading papers.

People were predicting this would happen when Google caved and started paying "link tax" to Australia and Canada and other jurisdictions with similar laws. Now – to no surprise – every government (really every media conglomerate lobbying arm) around the world wants the free money and so more such laws are popping up.

Strongly disagree.

Russia has 54% of people with higher education, compared to us at 44%. In fact, it's the most "educated" country in the world. Bet you didn't know that...

Look at how that worked out for them.

The value of education is greatly overstated. (and on the other hand people who claim education is soooo important for a good society conveniently pretend things like culture, religion, morals, etc don't exist).
Especially since a) college didn't start getting so expensive until the government got involved in loans and grants, and 2) none of these people were forced at gunpoint to take these loans. By law, every little detail had to be disclosed to them prior to signing of docs and disbursement.

Ah i didn't realize the coal plants were retired! That's good to see. I was looking at the carbon impact per kwh in Alberta earlier in the year for a project I was working on, and was surprised how high it was. I guess other areas of the country just have a lot of other sources diluting the impact.
Broadly speaking, a B-1/B-2 would appear to be appropriate but U.S. Consulates oftentimes deny applications for such a visa even if it is the appropriate visa for other reasons (such as concerns about the applicant remaining in the U.S. or working without authorization) and the U.S. Consulates have a lot of discretion to deny such applications. You might want to look at the J-1 or even the H-2B or H-3 visa.

I agree.

I had the old ones. They were a sandox game. You have to combine them to get the correct shape and the machanical conection from the motor to the wheels or whatever. (And avoid the water if neccesary.) So there were plenty of combinations and variants. :)

Like 15 years ago, we bouth a modern one for my daughter. It was a mantis or something similar. It has esectially only one way to be build. It was an splitable toy, not a building set. :(

> Pay is not status. Software currently pays quite well, but in most companies today a developer is at the very bottom of the status curve.

This is your own perspective, and again, it's extremely warped. If you think developers are at the very bottom of the status curve, go sign up to be your company's janitor, receptionist, HR/"talent acquisition", junior accountant, or any "operations"/"administration" role. Someone's gotta order and restock all the free beer and snacks in your office, you know.

And other than the janitor, those positions are all still likely 9-5 salaried positions that pay decently. Go be a retail worker, hotel staff, or waiter/waitress and enjoy being shit on by both your manager and your customers all day. Then come back and talk about how being a software dev is low status.

You're somewhere close to it, I think. Young people in the US have much weaker social support networks than e.g. Southern Europe, and US culture is much more individualistic and atomized than probably anywhere else on Earth.

It might be helpful to catalog a few reasons why software engineering can be so stressful. Many of these are common to other professions as well, to varying degrees.

* It's hard to predict how long something will take so you stress out when you take longer. Even if requirements are clear, all sorts of things can delay implementation: debugging, build issues, plugging in dependencies, bugs in underlying libraries. All these can take a limitless amount of time.

* Complexity can be overwhelming. Staring at a thousand line, convoluted class can make you shut down, just because it's too much.

* Being new and not able to produce at the same level as others. This one hopefully goes away after some time as you ramp up, but you might be new at different projects in the same team.

* Changing requirements, increasing scope.

* Priority inversion - you depend on another team for your work, but they aren't working on it, and you have to answer for that.

* Having to give an update at a status meeting when you know you haven't made as much progress as you'd like.

* Feeling bad about your productivity, so you don't take care of yourself (wasting time at night), are tired, and aren't able to be productive the next day. This whole loop can last for a long time if you can't break it.

* You can't ask for help because you feel like others will think you're stupid for asking those questions. And you can't make progress bc you really need to know those things.

Many of these things are exacerbated by life circumstance, social position, personality, previous mental health history, and management/peers. The way you can improve this stuff for yourself is by having a solid wellness routine (exercise, sleep, diet), good communication with your peers/manager (this is a chicken/egg situation), and pushing for reasonable organizational changes. Of these, only wellness is totally under your control. The others require people around you to change, which may not be possible.
"It’s well known that people are getting news from sources like short-form video, topical newsletters, social media, and curated podcasts, and many are avoiding the news entirely. In line with those trends, just 2% of queries on Google Search are news-related. Nevertheless, we want to continue making targeted contributions to the news ecosystem to help news publishers navigate this inflection point."

Google acknowledges they had a part to play in causing the collapse of journalism but has no solutions to offer.

People aren't consuming news, and when they do they choose the least accurate, most entertaining sources for it. Newspapers and local broadcasters are suffering because the public has lost the will or the capacity to focus. When will we start seeing white box Surgeon General warnings on Tiktok and Youtube that remind the user prolonged exposure can cause serious mental health issues?

You seem to be implying there is some kind of conspiracy to portray one particular group as bad while ignoring another. I don't think that's warranted, there has been plenty of media vilifying America's natives. There is perhaps an effort to correct the record: history was written by the victors, and it has taken far too long for us to realize the many injustices that were carried out along the way. Understanding what we lost (in this case, vast Bison herds) is important. These losses affect natives and immigrants alike.

I'm an Australian living in the US on an E3 visa. I would like to get a green card, but we never win the lottery to move to a H1B and start the process. My youngest daughter was born in the US, and so is a citizen. Is there any way to get a green card without having to win the H1B lottery?

To be fair, there is nothing newsworthy about this rocket unless you are Russian.

It uses safe fuel (unlike Proton which flies on heptyl), it flew from the brand new launch site located in Russia (so our Kazakh friends will have trouble extorting more and more money for the use of Baykonur) and its fourth stage worked flawlessly.
This feels very similar to the trope on X, where someone makes an inflammatory or stupid comment, people angrily respond calling them stupid, and the original person then claims they're being harassed/were just joking, and ultimately neither side actually communicates. The people who like the original poster continue on believing that they were being harassed, and people who thought they were being stupid continue on believing they're being stupid.

I feel that Vlad is justified, even if I personally would've just considered it to be a lost cause and just kept receipts in case it became necessary to publicly respond, similar to how the Apollo dev released receipts when Reddit tried to make him out to be in the wrong.

This is true.

We have a decent-quality Mitsubishi unit that's 7 years now. Last year, one of the main boards died. Living in a country with strong consumer protection, I was able to argue my way into having Mitsubishi cover the cost of a new board, I just had to cover labour.

If I'd had to cover all the cost, it would have been more than 40% of the cost of a new unit, and then you start asking yourself if it's worth it.

Even though the marginal cost of the main board is likely below $50, the replacement ones sell for close to $500.
You need quality education not just quantity. Degrees from some universities in some countries might not be worth anything because anyone can get them and many do just because they've been conditioned that having that piece of paper changes your life for the best, and so No-Name universities appear to cater to that market creating a "degree inflation" where too many people have degrees but they're worthless.
> Charging a fee just for linking to something is a bad idea.

If you're profiting from it, it's not a bad idea.
They are doing dlopen() wrong.

Instead of dlopen()ing libfoo.so.7, you should build a private wrapper library, normally linked with -lfoo, and then dlopen() that private wrapper. Then you get dependency tracking for free.
The EB1/EB2 refers to a green card so that is probably not a good option because it takes too long. Between the H-1B and the O-1; they each have their relative benefits: the H-1B would allow you to travel without interruption during the green card process and the O-1 is effectively easily transferrable to another employer (while the cap exempt H-1B is not).
It's true, journalism is a tough business, but that doesn't justify bending the rules in their favor.

Just like Open Source is though: you do all the work, companies make money off of your work without paying a dime 95% of the time, etc. Would that justify a law forcing companies to pay for the open source software they use? No.

In the end, people choose to do open source knowing that they're not going to get much money out of it.
In theory, nothing will stop you. In practice, nothing stopped GAMBAS (https://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html), which can do a lot of what VB did.

Referring to land the natives had inhabited for something like 15,000 years as "pristine" and "natural" is somewhat erasing their accomplishments, no?

Pristine and natural North America had mammoth, horses, and many other megafauna which were rapidly hunted to extinction. But somehow the American Indian evolved culturally, adapting to their environmental niches and cultivating the land to maintain a lifestyle dominated by hunting, with some farming. This involved more-or-less extensive changes to the landscape.

America before the White man came wasn't pristine or natural. It was bountiful.

Yeah these are all valid points and I don't disagree with any of them! Except maybe the ceremonial combat sport one, I wouldn't want to diminish how talented and brutal the golden age fighters were. You could say Superlek spams tons of low kicks too. I've seen Liam Harrison do the same, and in both cases it's strategic to take out an opponent's best weapon.

I totally understand that people want to watch a fight that is more true to what would happen on the street. Clearly all the bouts on One are filled with super talented people and all these fighters deserve to make more money than they were making even a few years ago if they can. I just have a lot of aversion to it and don't find it as beautiful as watching, say, old Karuhat fights.
> When will we start seeing white box Surgeon General warnings on Tiktok and Youtube that remind the user prolonged exposure can cause serious mental health issues?

We won't (or if we do they won't accomplish anything), because once you've moved to a low-trust society, which we are rapidly doing, any official statements telling you which information to consume/avoid are seen as Enemy Action and make you trust your outside sources even harder. You can find tons of Zoomers saying they get news from Tiktok specifically because it's not under the control of The Man (even though it's controlled by the Chinese government, the ultimate The Man). There are no easy fixes here.
Yes. You can be in E-3 status and pursue a green card; it just means that your international travel might be limited during the process.

You are right that it doesn't fix the main problem but it addresses a very real problem that millions of Americans are facing. We shouldn't put off addressing the latter because the former is still a problem.
