The other response is correct that this is not ironic. Roughly speaking, irony is when something happens that is the opposite of what you'd expect. A firefighter's home burning down is ironic. Sometimes irony is related to unfortunate or funny coincidences/timing, and it's easy to confuse the two. Alanis's song Ironic famously has a lot of examples of this. Rain on your wedding day--is that ironic? Maybe? You certainly hope there is no rain on your wedding day, but I don't think there's an expectation that there won't be rain. Now if your parents decided to get a divorce on your wedding day, I think that's ironic.

But the parent commenter dilutes the definition further. A project with 2024 lines of code in 2024 is just an amusing coincidence. There's no reason why you'd expect a project in 2024 to not have 2024 lines of code.

We will never extinguish dangerous ideas from existing. Exposing them is the best way to prevent those ideas from spreading because it gives a chance for the good ideas to create the proper contrast.

The line between not tolerating intolerants and the intolerants themselves is not there. Once you say a certain group of people cannot participate in society because of their ideas, it only takes a small effort for corruption to take over and use that tool against everyone else. It's the same reason a monarchy is a bad idea and has been the cause of many injustices in history.
Slightly tangential, but getting an e-bike has got me doing way more miles (by probably an order of magnitude) than I have ever done before - and way more total exercise overall.

Since you can dial in the assist, it basically turns a regular bike into an exercise bike. Or conversely, an exercise bike that actually rides around outside. If I want to fry my legs on a hill, I can drop the assist and really feel the grind. If I want to take it easy on the hill back home though, I can boost the assist so that it takes practically no effort.

It's just this amazing tool that reliably will trick your brain into working out. You take the ebike out because it is so effortless to ride, but inevitably you end up lowering the assist to feel the burn a bit on your rides.

For a query language, you can generalize to all nodes supporting all things. You will be able to write some queries that will never return results, at least in a given input data format. That does not seem so bad.

I might be wrong, but in this case I think the 75% refers to the layout, not the physical size of the keys.

As an insurer (if I was an insurer), I hate it when people use something not created by a big monied corporation that we could subrogate claims to.
I've found myself doing this in the past 5 years as well. After decades in development, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a house. I've since then slowly been converting the garage into a woodworking shop. Most of the projects I've completed are for the workshop itself. I've spent way more time on what I've built than any sane person should but I'm using my shop furniture as a learning experience and nitpick everything.

There's definitely a different type of satisfaction/reward you get from finishing something you put a lot of time in when you can feel and see the thing. I guess it aligns with why I enjoyed front end dev more so than backend enterprise stuff. Its visual.. With woodworking, its not only visual but a physical object. You see every inch of it, every corner, every joint, everywhere where you fixed something, where you took the time to perfectly sand a surface to ensure it looks just perfect in the end.

I also usually put on an audio book or music in my buds. Its a great way to disconnect and immerse yourself into something that isn't tied to anything else at that moment. No deadlines, no PRDs, no tests, no dependencies, just you and what you're working on... Its relaxing..

Sorry.. I lied... there's tons of dependencies.. Those happen to be all the right tools for the job that you don't yet have and every time you do something, you have to decide whether you'll invest the money to buy said tool, or build said thing to help you get from A to B, or if you'll go the other way around and wing it by hand, taking much longer and hopefully not too much of a worst result..
Why? Any modern twin-engine plane can operate just fine on a single engine. Dual engine failure is extremely rare, especially at altitude - most of the time it's birds like the USA1549 at much lower altitudes.

> The best way to avoid turning a meditative hobby into a job is to resist the urge to monetize it.

This is exactly what I meant. However OP started off talking about switching careers.

As a hobby they are doing great, producing stuff they need and having fun doing that. No-one can criticize this.

> Your basic carpentry diss is unwarranted IMHO.

If it's a hobby sure, absolutely. I think the stuff they are doing is fine.

But as a new career this is going to be very tough if they don't up their game into some direction that is either very efficient volume production or high quality design and craftsmanship. There are obviously also education and youtube paths but both have also tough requirements.

Even famous fine furniture makers are complaining that it is very tough to live off commissions.

Humorously public transport, for all intents and purposes, only service cities. The very place you don't need transit as you already live within walking distance of everything. There is absolutely no rationality there.

Connecting every last rural area by train may have been a thing in the 1800s, but it's not really all that efficient to fire up a humungous train to carry one person. We aren't going back. "Correct and rational" doesn't exactly stand here either.

2. Also, there isn't a way to export (or self host) as of now.

Just some background - We originally built this out as a standalone desktop app (~4 years ago) and then re-worked it for the web around the same time. We were planning to eventually rewrite the desktop app for just that reason - to have the offline syncing and cleaner export UX.

I have lot of multi GB movies/series in process at any time so always short on space and don’t want to lock it up in another partition.

You just put several isos on it once a year. It’s usually not installed, just run. Any live distro can download additional tools as needed. And really any from the last five years are fine, partition tools and text editors haven’t innovated recently. Maybe you’d want the latest btrfs tools possibly, if so download.

A cheap 64GB! flash drive dedicated to the purpose and put on a keychain works well. Think I looked for 32GB but needed to go 64 to get usb3.2+ transfer speed, which I also recommended. Still so cheap!
Great for test driving new distros too.

I agree about ventoy, but only had to install it once, and already blocked it out, haha. Hopefully someone strips it down and adds a lite version to debian.

Yeah I did just that. CatchingKillers.com hosts the game. The first two stories are playable. Sour Grapes of Wrath, taken from an excellent pdf I found online. The other, The Masquerade Murder of Charleston Manor, is custom story for the game. The third story hasn't been finsihed. So not really payable. I have set the limit on that gpt account to $5 so I don't get abused, but should be enough for a bunch of runs of the games if someone wants to try.
I was an extremely happy user until they removed port-forwarding. That forced me to switch unfortunately :(
Great article. I'm in the process of building this business myself, so I'm intimately aware of everything in the article. Just keep in mind that a lot of the math is back of the napkin guesses. All of this is managed on personal relationships and deals with the vendors and much of the pricing that actually gets set, isn't made public.

Our first offering is the AMD MI300x instead of Nvidia or Intel products. But, unlike all of my competitors, we are not picking sides. Our unique value prop is that we eventually plan to offer the best of the best compute of anything our customers want. Effectively building a varied super computer for rent, with bare metal access to everything you need and white glove service and support. In essence, we are the cap/opex for businesses that don't want to take on this risk themselves.

What people don't understand is how difficult and capital intensive to deploy and manage large scale compute, especially on the high end cutting edge. Gone are the days of just racking/stacking a few servers. This stuff is way more complicated and involved. It is rife with firmware bugs, limitations, and hardware failures.

The end of the article says some nonsense about a glut of GPU capacity. I do have to call that out. It isn't going to happen for a long while at least. The need for compute is growing exponentially. Given the complexities of just deploying this stuff, it isn't physically possible to get enough of it out there, fast enough, to satisfy the demand.

I love every challenge of this business. Happy to answer questions where I can.
that you make a lot of mistakes isn't a good compliment for a keyboard :-)
I think it's always been about the same. Shakespeare wrote plays watched by hundreds who mostly didn't write plays, Mozart's music halls were full of people who mostly didn't compose, Austen's novels were read by people who mostly didn't write novels.

Maybe it's become easier to consume incredible amounts of content for free recently, but it's also never been easier to make things if you want, either in terms of access to cheap materials and tools or instructional content. Perhaps the one thing that has waned a little is closer-knit forums that have been replaced with endless Reddit.
I think this is the first time that I've seen someone actually recommend encouraging the mariachi band to approach. Usually people are trying to avoid eye contact so the don't approach.
The volumes of Brothers Grimm fairy tales found here were german. And they were found in Poland, because some of todays Poland was Germany, and most of the knowledge lost in the war in todays Poland was actually knowledge of german culture and heritage, when the Soviets invaded from the east and burned down all the houses and libraries. Millions of Germans fled and died, and with this large amounts of german knowledge has been lost forever. In this case, due to some luck, some works survived.

Edit: "some", not "most".
Don’t let that be a brake on your enjoyment though.
I always liked cars and I do have an affinity for tinkering. But I didn’t know anything about fabrication. I got me a welder and many YouTube videos and hours later I was making stainless exhausts. It was a very enjoyable experience. Just stumbling through is most of the fun.
Those are all capturing CO2 from the waste gas stream at fossil-fueled power plants, so it's not really relevant to direct air capture of CO2 from the atmosphere.

One big problem with using fossil fuel exhaust as the input stream for productive chemistry is that there are lots of fuel contaminants - sulfur, etc. - that poison further chemical reactions on the CO2 stream, and stripping out the contaminants is just too expensive. While atmospheric CO2 has a big concentration step, it has the great benefit of not having that issue.

N=1, but as someone who used to think of himself as being quite progressive and would now see myself as being in the "insecure" population (just using your terminology) -

From my perspective it seems as if organised progressivism ends up "going too far", because once you've got the win, you either stop and lose your reason to exist, or invent another cause and go for that.

It's like a treadmill and most people I know hopped off at some point because it got a bit too..

Lol. On the other hand, I use Linux network namespaces to make programs run outside the VPN on a specific machine that has the whole system configured to go through the VPN. So yeah if you get namespaces you can use them to both isolate programs and also bypass the VPN.
I plan to have v0.1.0 in about a month or so! Definitely will include a ton of docs and a quickstart guide. There's an undocumented pip package "sqlite-vec" that you might be able to use now, if you wanted to call it from your Python "Agent Backend" directly.
But - with the exception of equalp - they may fail to identify as equal numbers which are equal (=). I suggested to use = to compare numbers specifically.

What’s “essential” varies a lot between users. As a mobile dev I’ve been using 60% and 65% boards almost exclusively since 2015 and haven’t missed the removed keys much at all.

Really though, to me the problem with full-size keyboards isn’t the number of keys but their positioning. The traditional full sized layout was designed prior to mice being common, which immediately becomes evident when you try to center the alpha cluster of such boards with how doing so pushes the mousing area uncomfortably far off to the right. So-called “southpaw” boards fix this by putting the home/end/arrows column and numpad on the left side of the board instead, but sadly this layout hasn’t broken into the mainstream and is only available in comparatively expensive small-batch enthusiast boards.

This is why for now I use 60%/65%/75% with a separate numpad on the left, which largely replicates the advantages of a southpaw board with added flexibility (the numpad can be put away when not needed).
You've been hearing it for 50 years, and the project has been going on that long with regular improvements in cost and output.

Every country is different, but wind and solar have scaled from practically nothing ("proving viability") 20 years ago to a majority of new installs 10 years ago to a significant chunk of all generation now.

Wiping out already-built nuclear power is like junking your car two months into a 96-month loan because you don't like the gas bill. Just... why? Sunk costs have generated nearly-free returns. You're still going to pay those costs, in dollars and in CO2, whether you run a nuclear reaction or not. The worst-plausible-case-scenario meltdown has been substantially mitigated with the extant designs, and some of the new designs that are probably never getting built would be difficult to melt down even if you attempted it.

Shutting down existing plants as Germany did is a very different proposition than scaling up a nuclear buildout in 2024. Renewables and various grid improvements are just way cheaper and more justifiable in the short term, and have none of the baggage attached, and have none of the need for state support attached. It would take a gargantuan effort right now to mass-produce reactors cheaply enough that they could even begin to compete with renewables.
Nice product! I might have missed mentions of it, but is it real-time editing? Does it supports multi users?

HIPPA rules are easily circumvented unless you as a patient are paying attention: I can't tell you how many forms I've opted out of that wanted to explicitly export my data to third parties and partners that are not HIPPA compliant. And at least for my healthcare providers that use MyCharts, they like to make it part of the echeckin workflow, with no option to refuse. So you're forced to go up to the desk to check in and explicitly reject it each and every time. It's a healthcare dark pattern.

And then there are online providers like better health that don't have the option to opt out at all. So you just have to avoid them entirely.

No surprise here...
I know too little to have strong opinions about this. I worked for a few years in Canada, and for the rest of my career in Germany.

In my opinion, bureaucracy is a growing problem, at least in Germany. There is just so much compliance work involved in running a business, and it keeps getting worse. As a sole proprietor running a very simple business, my first year felt like I was just working on compliance, and my actual business was just a side quest.

I wish there was more effort at every layer to make bureaucracy easier to handle. We should consider the bureaucratic experience the same way we consider developer experience, because it affects adoption the same way. We need good architecture, good documentation, good utilities. It makes a big difference.
It has imports + many divs. Would still be easier to read not all on a single line.
Yes, that is certainly a key part of it. My dad built the house I grew up in by himself in his spare time while also working full time, and taught me basic woodworking as a kid.

But he taught me crude woodworking like framing in houses- almost none of the tools or skills translate into fine woodworking required for building things like furniture or boats. Until the last year I didn't know how to cut with the grain, what a planer was for, etc.

What my dad really taught me was the confidence that I can learn what I need as I go, to do almost anything. I'm not afraid to start big projects where I have zero idea how to do any of the steps required at first, and am expecting to learn them one at a time as I go. My dad would regularly jump into things like buying a car with a blown engine and expecting to rebuild it without any clue where to start- and then follow books and advice, and do it successfully the first time. So I learned to also do that.

YouTube has been a huge boon- anyone can learn almost anything for free, without needing someone to teach them first. Also tech like 3D printers allows people to get into making things without the physical skills previously needed.

Looking at the code, the extension listens for `streamID` messages that are emitted whenever a user plays media in the browser[0]. It then captures the audio playback using the `MediaRecorder` interface [1] and sends the audio to the developer's backend server (wss://scrix.molyz.app/websocket) via WebSocket connection where it gets transcribed.

The content is solid, but the attempts at humour are pure cringe.
Yea, I hate generation wars, but it seems to be increasingly true that most of the economic value created in the last, say, 50 years, was currently either 1. captured by a few extremely wealthy individuals, or 2. locked up in the retirement accounts and real estate of people over 60 years old.

I feel like we (the younger generations) are all sitting here holding our breath in this stasis, waiting for that generation to die, and hoping those portfolios somehow get magically spread across the population. I don't know what mechanism is available to do that spread, but if it doesn't happen, where will all that locked up wealth go?
