DC Metro, specifically Reston.

The park across the street doesn't have one.
There are none in the town center (gotta buy Starbucks or similar).

And I don't recall seeing any public ones in downtown DC, other than the Mall and Smithsonian areas.

I already stated they do exist in quasi-public spaces (airports, offices, etc).

Like, if I'm running errands downtown, and I'm not in the tourist zone, there really isn't much without ducking into an office (that might be locked on the weekend).
That'll be because windows 11 is absolute shit! I know at least 4 people who rolled back to windows 10 in the last 6 months.
I agree that sometimes things are either “a solution” or “not a solution”. EV chargers that do not charge more than half the time are still squarely in the “not a solution” category.
SQL also turns 50[1] today, I think that it has much wider active usage today than many of its contemporaries.

Microsoft likes to alternate between good and bad releases of Windows.

XP was good, Vista was bad. 7 was good, 8 was bad. 10 was good, and 11 is kind of bad. Not as bad as Vista or 8, but still noticeably worse than 10.

Here’s hoping that 12 will be an OS with upgrading to.
Jealousy politics are indeed an obstacle but the societal insistence that everybody needs to pollute the environment because some people have to pollute the environment is nonsense.
As in does working from home require someone to move to the suburbs? No. But many people do choose to move into larger housing in cheaper, less dense areas once they start spending more time at home and aren't tied down by a daily commute.

> I’m wondering, what keeps Windows afloat?

Businesses with specialized software that doesn't run (or isn't supported) anywhere except on Windows.

It's declining, because lots of business applications are moving to the web, but there's still a ton of them around.
There were a lot of regressions that upset me. The option for seconds in the system time was removed. Right-clicking the WiFi/internet connection in the taskbar no longer has the context menu option for "Troubleshoot connection", forcing me to go to options, search Troubleshooters, click "Other troubleshooters" (Because troubleshooting internet is so uncommon, right?) and THEN troubleshoot the internet connection.

From what I read, Microsoft let some designers who only use Mac OS do the design, and they plowed ahead despite hearing extremely reasonable concerns that their OS developers had with some design decisions.
Possibly History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes? One of my favourites. Noah's Ark isn't in all of the short stories/essays, but does recur.

> But the problem with laying off the deadwood, rather than firing them for cause, is that it causes the high performers to look at other opportunities and leave.

Can you explain the difference? Is being "deadwood" not cause for firing? I'm probably an average performer, but I find working with "deadwood" extremely demoralizing.
Setbacks are part of the property that is still owned by the school. Schools don't (currently) pay property taxes in New York, but whoever buys the buildings will still owe taxes on the property, including the setback.

One of the potential buyers are trying to stop the sale to a different buyer, so the setback isn't at issue. The most one could say is that the setback diminishes the potential taxable value of the property by not allowing larger buildings, but that's somewhat subjective (does the setback itself make the existing footage more desirable?).

The problem is the 'crime' and not the actual crime. Like being around the capitol building Jan 6 2021.
You can build a habit of doing it every morning, like brushing your teeth. The physical act of fixing the date every day can help ground you and slow down the passage of days.
It absolutely can be a lot of work, but sometimes the statement or stance is self-disproving.

I once worked with a conspiracy theory believer who thought that the Earth was simultaneously a flat disk and a hollow sphere. This person wasn't obviously a fool in normal conversation. They had no trouble writing C++, they had a master's degree in math, they recently purchased a second house and we're doing the repairs themselves to flip it, and he was comfortable with writing SQL for the application we're working in.

But he absolutely refused to believe that "they" weren't out to get him. In retrospect it was clear that this was likely standing from anti-Semitic conspiracy backgrounds but more than once I asked him to verify if he meant actual lizard people or if that was code for something, and with great conviction he told me he actually believes some of our leaders were lizards.

This person fundamentally didn't trust our institutions. He thought at the Airlines and that the government were being headed by literal lizard people in human suits. He had access to all the evidence to the contrary, but he had been betrayed so many times by the government that he saw no reason to trust anything from them and refused any photographs I produced from NASA.

No how hard I worked to produce and vet information citing sources, or even produce experiments that he can reproduce, he just wouldn't trust anything that appeared to line up with what he perceived to be the goals of the government.

Worse, something so many people attached to reality deny is that people like him are common. I fully believe that one in three Americans are as delusional as this guy at least some of the time.
Doesn't ring true; why would a non-user of Common Lisp evangelize it?

Are there online examples? Can you point to someone's blog where they are proselytizing regarding Common Lisp, but it's obvious they don't have experience in it (perhaps betrayed by technical problems in their rhetoric).
Forgive me as I'm not experienced in Go. I had a look at the API reference for encoding/json[1] and performed a (very hasty) search on the source code[2].

The API reference doesn't state that panics are a part of the expected error interface, and the source code references seem to be using panics as a way to validate invariants. Is that what you're referring to?

I'm not entirely sure if the panics are _just_ for sanity, or if input truly can cause a panic. If it's the latter, then I agree - yikes.

That's nice. It would be nicer if the time and expensive involved were zero.
This is... closed source?

Omg. Didn't anyone learn anything from the Datomic story?
Games and media, for me.

I'm about to convert my Proxmox file/VM server to Windows, because I want it to double as a media server and Linux GPU support (much less hardware passthrough) is more than I want to deal with.

I converted my laptop from Fedora to Windows recently to be able to do some light gaming, and because I want to see if Windows suspend is better on battery than the quick drain I was getting on Fedora.
Embrace (or acquire). Extend (optional). Extinguish.
Both are complete garbage and hinder the consumer PC market. I've had custom built gaming PCs since 2008, with my current build probably 50x more powerful than the one back then, yet the software has gotten worse.
> While you can name half a dozen of them, there are thousands that are nothing like that.

lol Isn't that the story of startups anywhere on earth?

Anyway, I don't think you understood my point. All I am saying is that there are "somewhat equivalent" options for job seekers in India. And that the market in US and India is not that different and Indian market is certainly not like eastern european market.

> Well, if it's an Indian startup targeting an international market: it's an international company in the making.

Well technically one can get to a Billion users without ever having to think of the international market.
Valve have done the world a huge favour with their work enabling Steam and PC gaming on linux. Windows 11 is so outright irritating I do not know how anyone could choose to use it. For most purposes KDE is a better Windows facsimile than Windows 11 is.

It is a shame the general audio story on Linux remains such a mess and so the non Mac DAW and video crowd remain hostage to the whims of MS.
passthepopcorn.me has an 'archive team' with a lot of redundant storage available and they also have 'encoding teams' with quite a few passionate, motivated people each with decades of experience in video restoration. They've got the free time that you lack and generally would be quite happy to learn new techniques from you and take critical feedback into account.
Not that there shouldn't be such restrictions in some form, but as the article mentions "It’s an agreement that was made in the past.".

Makes you wonder who was involved in that agreement and if it matters now. And I wonder if this applies? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_against_perpetuities

Complexity speed run to stagnation isn’t suspect at all, thats exactly what you’d expect when there is suddenly a new environment to exploit for life. Mutations are always happening. At some point a subpopulation will emerge that has a lucky few mutations that grant it an edge relative to others in fitness, then it will dominate the environment until the factors that confer success either change, or these mutants fall short of a more fit upstart mutant population. Its something you see play out even today, when an invasive species is introduced to a new environment where its traits serve it well, and quickly outcompetes native species.

Its also why we better be damn sure the mars sample return is absolutely sterile lest we contaminate our planet with extraterrestrial microbes.
I don't fully understand why it's so hard for a legislative body to eliminate such covenants.
An important comment.

"What's important" depends upon who is asking the question and who they are asking the question to.

I am a MacOS user now, but I wonder how Microsoft are faring in the aspects of stability, removal of bloat, fixing tech debt, refactoring of code to improve readability and bloat, addressing security issues, speeding up the builds, ensuring device driver stability on supported hardware, improving support for applications and use cases, improving actual as well as perceived speeds, and so on.
There's a certain 'techbio' startup that also has this same requirement. Judging by how long their positions tend to be open for, I would anecdotally say it's not a winning strategy.

You're correct. I didn't even notice the typo until now!

Applied Abstraction
> You're conflating the complicated with the complex. Construction workers don't need Agile methods, which is why "there's a 60% chance the framing will be up by July" sounds so dumb. The physical properties of wood framing, electrical wire, shingles, and drywall haven't changed in decades.

When's the last time you saw a construction project that landed on time? Construction projects are a classic example of forecasting difficulty. Lots of things have to go smoothly at the right time, including supply chain, coordinating work from multiple organizations (including local governments), and the weather has to play nice.
This is a good point. Innovation is when you put out press releases about an idea that came to you as you crawled out of a k-hole. Few large corporations have the smarts to promise a vehicle that can cross a small sea and deliver one that goes out of warranty if you take it through a car wash
What's your point though. Are you suggesting you care more for your animal than this other person?
I mean, you can upgrade from w10 to w11 for free, without reinstalling full system.

It's not really much different then 'w10 updates forever', just marketing with new version.
I assumed that Musk wanted Twitter so he could have a built-out userbase for his everything-app idea, not because he wanted to have a particularly large bullhorn.
Does anyone has recent experience with Maui targeting mobile? It had a not-quite-caught-up-to-Xamarin reputation for a while, has that changed now that we're on .Net 8?
23H2 release, which is rolling out slowly, allows the taskbar to at least show titles now. The width of each bar is variable instead of equal across the screen. But it's better than 11 launch.
Pre-pandemic, I did a 6 month contract at Built. It's one of the few engagements I've had over the years where I felt I learned a lot in a short time. The onboarding process was good, the team was supportive, the pace was fast but not frenetic. If you're in that area and field, you could certainly do worse than to reach out to the Built team.
Is there any way to buy a new legit Windows 10 install today?
> As for Windows 7, despite the no-support state and the continuous developer support exodus, it is still alive and kicking.

I know several people who still use Windows 7 as their main OS to this day. I totally understand them, that was the last version before Microsoft started ruining Windows with stupid touch-first UIs and overt contempt for the user. I also heard that Microsoft was telling hardware manufacturers basically "don't you dare release Windows 7 drivers for your new devices or else".
Seconds in the system tray clock is back now.
To be fair the first thing I do is disable all ads. Most don't dig that deep. And due to Europe all their "oh are you sure you don't wanna sign up for all these" now has consistent no button positions.

I think w11 is fantastic if only they stopped all ad nonsense.
Would you consider Jon's behavior in the thread that contributed to him being banned (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/objection-to-minority-represen... - this was not the sole reason) to be

"the disingenuous action by a commenter of making an ostensible effort to engage in sincere and serious civil debate, usually by asking persistent questions of the other commenter. These questions are phrased in a way that may come off as an effort to learn and engage with the subject at hand, but are really intended to erode the goodwill of the person to whom they are replying, to get them to appear impatient or to lash out, and therefore come off as unreasonable"

You don't have to reply with a yes or no. I'm just wondering if you see the traces, and then we can put the difference down to how much benefit of the doubt we each give to potentially bad actors based on how frequently we encounter them.
But is this lookup mechanism available from one token prediction to the next? I’ve heard conflicting things, with others saying that transformers are stateless and therefore don’t share this information across prediction steps. I might be misunderstanding something fundamental.

Your group looking for any other position types besides Applied Scientists?
I have a great appreciation for BASIC, being the first language I was exposed to both at home on my Atari 400 and in school on TRS-80 and Wang computers. Since then I went through various machine/assembly languages, C, C++, Pascal, and modern procedural languages.

Lately I spend most of my time writing less-procedural code on procedural languages. Eliminating the step-by-step 'time' element and mutating variables is the best way I know to make more comprehensible software.

Just because computer hardware executes step-by-step in time, doesn't seem like a strong enough reason to learn programming this way. I'd really be curious what would happen if programming (not 'computers') were taught more transactionally with defined inputs, outputs, and a mapping definition that gets coded with intermediate expressions rather than time-varying data building. Basically, instead of starting with for/if/etc then eventually finding filter(predicate), map(function) start with them. There's a bit of learning curve up-front, but it seems flatter from there compared to all the accidental complexities created with the other approach. The first-class function aspects can even be bypassed by only using anonymous block syntax for a long time.

Is there a semi-popular introductory language that is more based on (or can use) immutable data and mapping expressions? Even for my own use, I can't really find much more approachable ones than Kotlin/Java/(Gleam?), F#/OCaml/Elm for statically typed ones. For dynamically typed languages, the close ones I can think of are Ruby and Elixir.
Not sure why you are down-voted. If you are an investor, you want a fair price when you buy. Think of going to a store, when there is a sale and prices are below value of a product, it's smart to buy. Same goes with stocks.
From a business standpoint that’s not sufficient though. You need a critical mass of people interested in your narrow little niche.
> There's no one to buy off to relax the constraint. It's held in perpetuity by the dead hand of the past.

It's also held indirectly by owners of other properties which sale hinged on that restriction applying to all the properties on the street.
Yes, I understand taxes are still owned on the property itself. But the right embodied in the covenant is another form of property that has been severed from the real property. That right has value (and this value is reflected in the reduced value of the actual property it applies to), but is not now subject to taxation.

Nice app! Congrats on launching!

I was about to start building something similar but a bit different use case (maybe you can add it to your app?): if the tv show is not available in my country, I want to be able to set an email alert and get an email notification when it becomes available.
Windows is good enough for the vast majority of people. Businesses simply care about achieving their broader goals (i.e., selling their own products or services) and want to minimize effort on tools required to do that. The vast majority of people know how to use Windows and Office, and although they both suck in various aspects, they're familiar and good enough.

Does anyone who works on Windows read HN? I'm just wondering as I nearly only see negative comments about it (particularly about the user-hostile features such as advertising and so on), and I wonder how anyone who works on this thinks that it's a good idea.

It would kinda be OK if it was free... but it's not - it's expensive, IMO. I've had to buy Windows 11 for the last two PCs I built for friends, and Pro was £140. Crazy that you have to pay that and then be subjected to abuse.

I'd leave and use Linux if I could... but Cubase doesn't run on it and that's my bread and butter, so i'm stuck. And no, Wine or any Open Source DAWs are not the solution, sadly.
That is objectively a worse title than what is submitted - which explains what the page/product does.
I have a 5-6 year old Lenovo Windows 10 laptop. Wondering when upgrade hackling from MS becomes intolerable should I upgrade 11 or just re-image to ubuntu.
I would not drink American tap water, at least not in the cities that I travelled. It always smelt like chlorine and from what I googled apparently up to 4 milligrams per liter are regularly allowed in the US. This is definitely not a thing in western Europe.
