I have a friend that grew up, went to college, went to law school all within 20 miles of his hometown. As soon as he graduated law school, he got married and started talking about having kids. That was a few years ago, but he was basically 45 and settled into his suburban life at the age of 24.

A lot of HOAs have reasonable boards but contract out a lot of management to companies (I wouldn’t be be surprised if they were owned by private equity firms).

These companies are incentivized to find infraction to fine, and drive around regularly to make sure every rule is strictly adhered to. Trash bins out too early or late? Fine! Fence painted the wrong shade of soulless beige? Fine!
Agreed, and you could even take this into "1.txt" being the same as "One.txt". Which, I mean, fair that I would expect a speech system to find either if I speak "One dot t x t". But, it would also find "Won.txt" and trying to bridge the phonetic to the symbolic is going to be obviously fraught with trouble.

Yep. In SPAs with good architecture, you only need to load the page once, which is obviously weighed down by the libraries, but largely is as heavy or light as you make it. Everything else should be super minimal API calls. It's especially useful in data-focused apps that require a lot of small interactions. Imagine implementing something like spreadsheet functionality using forms and requests and no JavaScript, as others are suggesting all sites should be: productivity would be terrible not only because you'd need to reload the page for trivial actions that should trade a but of json back and forth, but also because users would throw their devices out the window before they got any work done. You can also queue and batch changes in a situation like that so the requests are not only comparatively tiny, you can use fewer requests. That said, most sites definitely should not be SPAs.

Not "hugely", not by itself.

Air travel is responsible for 4% of warming to date[0], so an 80% growth would make aviation… responsible for 7.2% of current warming, or warming going up 3.2% compared to reality — sure, that's still bad, but it's not huge.

That said, if "80% of people aren't using aircraft" were true (I don't think it is), going from that to everyone wouldn't be "80% more air travel", it would be 400% more air travel, boosting global warming by 16%. Which is even worse, but again, not what I'd call "accelerate global warming hugely".

Just in case you don't realise the Gospel is 'the message of salvation through Jesus' and is not the books in the New Testament called "the gospels". In the Bible when Jesus tells disciples to teach the gospel, the Greek word can be translated 'good news'.

A similar reference-instance error occurs with the Bible itself: 'the Word of God' is Jesus, not the Bible, the Bible is a pointer to the Word.

Perhaps too much of a digression for this forum.

Ah, I somewhat see the confusion. Green OA doesn't require the publisher to publish other versions for free, it just means you are allowed to publish them. Typically you'd publish them via an institutional repository, preprint server (often discipline specific), or in one of a number of free online services.
Please expand on your thoughts. Do you mean worse for the environment? Or consumer? Or something else.

> Furthermore, "you can do what you want with it" is misleading if doing what you want with it (e.g. repairing it) will have unreasonable consequences such as unfairly void warranties and so on.

Not it's not misleading. If it's under warranty it means they'll repair it for free. But equally it's quite reasonable for them to refuse (i.e. warranty is void) is you have fiddled with the device. A warranty is only a consumer protection against defects. That has nothing to do with your right to do anything you want with your property.

> To build transit that works you cannot value everyone's opinion equally and have to just make it happen.

Yep.[1]

The governor is _trying_ to build comprehensive transit in Colorado[2], but between an incompetent transportation district and the difficulties of building public transit infrastructure to serve our metastatic urban sprawl makes public transit difficult to fund over cars.[3]

Our state metro areas just refuse to accept that if they want growth they'll need density. They'd rather pave their farms because they value the taxes they get from McMansions more than actual food.

I am outcompeted. Probably never climb further up in the "corporate ladder". My comp is "enough" (actually, more than enough) for me. I don't care about the labels (senior, partner, manager, lead, etc.)

I find fun in the engineering work I do, while taking loooooooong workation travels to somewhere warmer during cold and dark European winters. I have almost zero work stress, no reporting pressure up- or downstream, and obviously no time wasted on a daily commute.

I still maintain rigid work hours. Well, not rigid compared to office 9-5, but to the "freedom" I could have: I strictly _try_ timeframe my work hours. 90% of the days it works. This is important so that 1) I ensure work-life balance 2) I suppress this inexplicable guilt for me basically beach holidaying while most of my colleagues are sitting in the office.

If promotions, etc is important for you, and the company isn't fully remote-only, then I don't think you have good chances, though, as a remote "aywhere in the world"

It has somewhat questionable build settings (plain clone -> dotnet run fails with errors, which is not acceptable for .NET projects) but it worked on my M1 Pro just fine with these:

- Clone repo
- cd Zilf/src/Zilf
- dotnet run -c Release -p:WarningLevel=0

To get sdk: download from https://dot.net/download (you can also just get it from brew and then uninstall it but this mode sucks because Homebrew has unsound folder behavior that puts .NET SDK in non-standard path which then creates issues if other tools install SDK in a standard path - .NET has none of the idiocy C/Python/Java and other tools suffer from where you need to manually manage versions and expects a single "muxer" executable to exist in the PATH while the SDK packs are installed in its subfolders, which it manages and uses automatically.

But I shouldn't complain too much, FOSS communities are very nearsighted and usually sleep on .NET, let alone using proper .NET LTS versions (8 currently), which this project does, and it's always something nice to see out there.

What I'm saying is that public transport is a reflection of the local society. You can accept it, work to improve it, or hide from it in your private vehicle.

I'm sorry, but I still think I'm not sure what you mean by interpreter. I hope you don't mind if I press further, but I'm very much enjoying this deep dive into the CLIPS C API with you.

When you compile your code including the c files generated by the constructs-to-c command, you must update the main.c file as well as the makefile that ships with CLIPS. During that update, there are a few things you must do:

1. add the generated c files to the makefile
2. you remove the function calls in the main.c file that cause CLIPS to capture STDIN and STDOUT. That is: you remove one layer of abstraction that sits between your rules and i/o streams.
3. you remove the generic CreateEnvironment function call in main.c and replace it with InitCImage_1, a function that calls CreateRuntimeEnvironment.

CreateRuntimeEnvironment differs from CreateEnvironment because you are able to pass in pre-built:

1. symbolTable
2. floatTable
3. integerTable
4. bitmapTable

Which are your rules engine constructs represented in C.

In addition to these four things, CreateRuntimeEnvironment passes in functions the user may have defined as UserDefinedFunctions (UDFs) in C. This is a more direct path than having CLIPS first interpret CLIPS rules like `(defrule foo =>)` and then translate them into these C representations.

China makes those too, while US automakers keep killing Corolla class cars in both ICE and EV form. I suspect the marketing all focuses on the higher end models because that's where the attention competition is. If you make a great subcompact class model, marketing is mostly a waste for those models as the cost/utility factor will drive the sales via word of mouth.

That's what Linux does.

If you amortize the cost of the flight across a month or so in a LCOL region it can be cheaper than staying home.

Staying at home is also increasingly unaffordable for a lot of people in the United States, of course.
I don't understand it myself, but some people like the forced conformity and the legal requirement to fund and maintain certain amenities, including streets, etc. Maybe it's an (over)reaction to "to much freedom" in some sense of the phrase. It's probably also a way to bypass greater government and keep infrastructure funds more hyper-local, which can have social consequences.

That being said I live in a condominium, but it's an apartment-style one. It's the only way I can afford to live in the central city. In that case there needs to be some setup to maintain the elevators, overall structure, and other common elements. But if I owned a house with actual land, the only restrictions I'd want are on actual nuisances (mostly continuous noise - a party once in awhile is fine) or safety.
I have the feeling you are struggling to accept that you failed on that process because of your expectations and are looking for validation that you aren't a terrible developer, given that you even shared the age you started coding as if you need to show us social proof. So you've written that post to help deal emotionally with that problem. So no, you aren't a terrible developer, does it help you feel better?

First of all, recruitment and processes are random, have you interviewed enough? Most people old enough have interviewed for 100+ companies, and with experience you learn that doing well doesn't mean you'll get a job.

We're also in some sort of tech recession for non-AI jobs. Many companies keep their job positions posted and interview people but don't hire them, as they'd like to keep recruiters and the team busy. I know this because I'm in a leadership position and talk with many colleagues who are also in other companies leadership position. (not that my company is doing that, though)

There's another reason, you might think you have ace'd it, but the interviewer might have different expectations, also, just by solving the solution or problem it doesn't mean you are fit for the company, sometimes we think we aced it, but they expected a different solution that you didn't know. Dunning kruger effect?

You've mentioned yourself that you've done 75% in a few, this might be enough for they to chose a different candidate.

Also, if your CV is weak, they might have changed their minds, not every company wants to train people, management could have pushed a different direction to the recruiting process or just the budget could have been closed.

To sum up, just move on and don't waste time on this, maybe focus on studying more? Nothing in life is guarantee'd, you might study years and never get that HFT job, or you might get it. That's life. Thinking about it won't get you the job, what you can do is practice more until you make it.

Cherry picking pallets is a big deal and all the warehouses try to say they don't, but everyone does it. The only one I went to that was legit, had people line up outside when a truck arrived and everyone bid on the pallets as they were coming off the truck. Not surprisingly the value I got out of those pallets was 10-20x more than from other pallet warehouses.

All of the other places are cherry picking and reorganizing pallets to elicit higher bids and tend to run their own parallel retail / resale operations. It's probably necessary though because the guy selling directly off the truck went out of business last year.
My family is fortunate enough to be able to take a European vacation later this year.

It's going to cost over $10k, and most of that is going to flights (economy) and hotels (decent, but not stellar).

A very large percentage of Americans wouldn't even be able to afford the ~$1k/person to fly to Europe, let alone any of the other costs involved.

If you think that every American (or even nearly so) would be able to afford an overseas vacation if they just did the research, then I'm sorry, you really are out of touch with reality. Hell, a depressing number of Americans don't even have enough paid days off to be able to afford to take a road-trip-and-camping vacation within the country for any significant length of time.
I hate exercising most of the time. But I realized that it’s something that helps with health (when done optimally) and must be done. I push myself to exercise every single day, even if it means doing some lighter variations of yoga.

What’s important is figuring out what kind of activities you may like or manage to get into (going to the gym, running, group fitness, video based classes, etc.).

I’ve never been able to follow a routine by myself. What works for me are video based workouts where I don’t feel as if I’m doing it alone and I also get a good variety.

Another thing that helped me a lot is getting an Apple Watch and closing the rings everyday honestly. There are three activity rings to close each day — one for activity, one for exercise minutes and one for standing and moving a bit each hour. You can set each ring to whatever levels you’re comfortable with (increasing or decreasing or keeping it the same). You don’t need to keep going up or competing with others. The longer you keep your “streak”, the more motivating it is to keep it going.

If you like video workouts, check out the free Nike Training Club app. There are various other apps with free workouts.

If you get a new Apple Watch, you would also get a free trial of Apple’s Fitness+ service.

Apart from this, in the past I’ve also very much enjoyed game based workouts like Wii Fit Plus, Ring Fit Adventure for Nintendo Switch, etc.

A good starting target is getting moderate to intense exercise for about 30 minutes a day.
Picking a fight with a loudmouth incumbent can be an extremely effective PR strategy for small challengers seeking to increase brand awareness.

The press lives for these stupid games. “Mr Musk, what do you say to Lucid and your former head designer Mr. Rawlinson who say that Lucid technology is many years ahead of Tesla and you have lost your way?”

If no comment, the article will be an Elon hit piece about growing sentiment that Tesla has lost its way.

If he trashes Mr. Rawlingson, the article is about their piss fight.

Either way, millions of readers learn about the existence of Tesla competitor Lucid.

When I published with an Elsevier journal they explained the "draft" thing pretty clearly. They said you retain copyright on whatever you write yourself. But once you have reviewer feedback and incorporate feedback from the journal editor(s) then it's no longer entirely your work and you couldn't distribute it at your own will. You could pay the journal a huge amount of money (in effect for the work done by the editors), and then the paper would be open access. The fees might not be reasonable (it's kind of hard to judge) but the overall logic made sense to me

So the first draft before review - the one you wrote all on your own - is what you can put up online. I'm not in CS but I assume the logic is similar in other fields.

They also provided a separate link of the final published PDF that you could use to distribute the paper to colleagues and interested parties. This link worked for a sufficiently long period of X amount of days/months. After that it was paywalled and in their garden
