Both, and both. Both intracity transit and Amtrak is a total joke, and if anything Amtrak is significantly worse, with some intercity connections not even having daily service.

This is entirely a policy choice. America subsidizes parking by requiring very high parking per place, and since they’re required to build it anyways and there is so much supply it is always free.

Japan does not subsidize parking like this, in fact quite the opposite. There is no free street parking and to buy a car you need proof of a parking spot to store it in, and parking is more of a market as a result.

I've heard this sentiment before. My truck has a rack on it and I've never needed to weigh it down to navigate icy or wet terrain. Maybe that applies to full size trucks more than Tacomas?
True, but the Threadripper requires the TRX50 platform, so I still don't understand what is operative about the statement that the X870E chipset supports quad channel memory.
I've used Apple for 20+ years, from Motorola 680X0 CPUs to Motorola PowerPC to Intel CPUs. SGI MIPS, Sun Sparc, DEC Alpha etc.

I'm not sure why this is relevant to M4 vs Zen5 or M3 vs Zen4.

I care how fast my development machine is.

Great. I hope you get the fastest development machine for yourself. But this conversation isn't about your development machine.
I think there's a market for a 7950E with a specific binning for lower power rather than highest possible clocks.
> I think a large number of those with undiagnosed conditions actually exhibit conditions from the hEDS bucket of comorbidities which is especially vast and varied. See https://ohtwist.com/about-eds/comorbidities for an incomplete list. This bucket does include SIBO. So if you have been told by a doctor that you're a hypochondriac and you exhibit SIBO these do increase the probability of you having hEDS.

Not really. SIBO prevalence increases with age and goes up to 80% in elderly patients.

hEDS prevalence is between 0.005% and 0.02%.

The symptoms/diseases you listed are very common. We don’t really use hypochondriac anymore but the reason these are common is because they’re vague constitutional symptoms that have 1000 different possible causes or nothing at all.

> What is very unorthodox about about my view is that this flexibility is not an essential component so a lack of flexibility is not sufficient to rule it out even if it does reduce the likelihood.

There is nothing unorthodox about this, it’s part of the 2017 international criteria for hEDS.

It's just so utterly fast (specially on opening times) I haven't been able to find anything even near it.
I did a phone interview with Christopher Poole of 4chan fame (moot) when I was a fairly mid-level engineer. This was for his startup, Canvas. One of the interview questions was to explain every detail of what happens after entering an address into your browser and hitting "go". I completely stumbled through my response and was humbled on that phone call. He was polite, but at the same time made me feel like an absolute idiot.
I wish VSCodium was a viable alternative, but the sheer amount of unsupported first party plug-ins makes it a no-go. License issues prevents the C and C++ integration from working, remote editing is a halfway working unsupported hack which breaks with editor upgrades.

At least that was my experience when I tried to switch to a "modern" GUI editor. In the end I just stuck with neovim; it seems more reliable and has better working C/C++ integration and remote editing.
One of my biggest issues is that "flat design" by definition also dictates "borderless". Meaning, a dialog or other window adjoins or overlaps another, you sometimes need to stare for a few seconds to tell where one window begins and another ends. Seems to be worse on Windows and Chrome, but I see it on Linux sometimes too and try to file a bug when it happens.

Adding at least a 1-pixel border and drop shadows to all windows can go a long way to fixing this, but I don't believe that the latter helps "dark mode" users much.

(Of course, a lot of developers these days only use and develop apps and websites in full-screen mode on a tiny 13" laptop screen, so they never see a lot of the issues that "flat" causes.)

Conversely, there is only so much you can do with fat oily fingers on a screen. Finger input has poor precision. Also, you cannot expect a user to operate a vertical touch screen for many hours. Our human upper body isn't built for this. Vertical workstation screens will always require some indirect pointing input modality.
Also on this topic, if you're into podcasts I think NASA's Curious Universe is just plain wonderful.

Eager to watch the Starliner launch on June 5th. I realise a lot of people won't be massively interested as it's not SpaceX or Artemis, but I'm a big believer that more competitors in the space is good for the space program generally.
A compiled microkernel can restrict, I agree. But if you want to restrict, why would you do a microkernel. It's much easier to justify with a monolith.

One big point of making a microkernel as opposed to making a monolith is that you want to give other developers more freedom to develop, distribute, fix bugs on their own time schedule, while keeping compatibility with new kernels easily. In other words, not wanting to control what and when they do, and what users run on the kernel.

Monolithic kernel like Linux, with its constant stream of little changes in interfaces, creates problems for developers of modules, and this leads to selection - those who keep up and satisfy the kernel requirements get in, those that don't keep up or do not satisfy requirements, can't get in, and are degraded to developing against some old kernel version. This is a kind of control.
Interesting response sinse congress is grilling fauci right now on this very topic.

> That's an unfair comparison.

When I visit retailers' websites, the 8GB product category seems to be the one with the most products on offer. Dell, Asus, Acer, HP and Lenovo are also more than happy to sell you a laptop with 8GB of RAM, today. Although I would agree don't charge $1600 and call them "Pro"

So 8GB machines are still around, and not just in the throwaway $200 laptop segment.

I would agree with you that the 2024 Steam hardware survey shows a plurality of users with 16GB, whereas the 2014 survey said 8GB, so progress hasn't entirely stopped. But compared to the glory days of Moore's Law, a doubling over 10 years is not much.
That seems to be an universal issue everywhere.

> theme shown on the VSCode homepage, which clearly shows which tab is active

When I glance at the VSCode home page, the only thing which clued me in on which tab is active is the fact that there are two gray ones but only one black one. If there were only two tabs open, I'd have expected the gray one to be the active one. Sure, the argument is probably that the active tab color should match the background, which is black, but I still think it is a terrible UI.

And I really agree with the sibling comment about "wait, those are tabs?" Can't tell you how many times I've had that thought cross my mind. Not just for tabs, either, but for many types of UI elements. It really is a shitshow these days.
Philosophy: building on current platforms limits solution sets and only gives you primitives that they thought of. I built 15+ variants of software versions tangential to flowy. It always limits experience. This doesn't mean everything should be it's own hardware. I just believe that human to human commz should be put higher on the hierarchy than, say your calculator.

Practical answer: we want to do cool things like "hover over keypad and say a name" and then you can talk to them. Only possible when we build the whole stack.

Thoughts?

I've suffered some pretty severe mistreatment in a hospital setting before, and there's a certain cleaning chemical that's commonly used in hospitals that absolutely sets my teeth on edge. It's wild how a scent can not only trigger a memory but a flood of emotions to go with it.
I think the name is in reference to the Python Flask framework.
20 years ago, my marketing professor was talking about scent being the sense most strongly linked with memories. The smell of exhaust taking him back to his country of origin. Sticking with medical smells, my sister can smell bladder cancer. Not sure how common that is, but she used to work in urology and after a urine sample was turned in, she could tell ahead of time who was sick.

I imagine that smell has helped shape how we find food and avoid disease and has been reinforced since some long ago ancestor likely common to many mammals or even further back. We often think of dogs or bears for their well developed sense of smell or even sharks sensing blood in the water.

Fun fact: humans are more sensitive to the smell of petrichor (fresh rain on dry ground) than sharks are to blood.
This is a lot like how couchdb handles MVCC. There is a `_rev` field that represents some specific mutation of a document, old revisions stay available until compaction, and you will receive an error if you attempt to write to a document with a different revision than you read.

Snapshot isolation, after all, is basically a method for implementing MVCC. I guess it's no big surprise that this isolation level is problematic for people that don't implement the other half.

> OpenSCAD isn't perfect, but it's so plainly obvious that code-based CAD is a better idea to me that it sort of bothers me that it's not the default.

Same reason people use Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape to create SVGs: when you're creating a visual end product it's often easier to use a visual workflow. You already have in your mind what you want it to look like, so you just need to draw it and you're done.

When it comes to specific dimensions it's often more convenient to use parametric modeling and integrated repeat features. Automate the repetitive and precise stuff, freeform draw the rest.
So you're applying different ethics for yourself and others?

Because one of the main themes in Meditations is that it's fine to be unhappy as long as you are a good person, living a virtous life.

Augustine is kind of _the_ critic of stoicism within virtue ethics in european antiquity. Maybe you're missing out. Have you at least engaged with Aristotle?

The context done channels are clearly the way when dealing with all native Go code.

Allthough to the grandparent's point, whne you're dealing with executables or libraries outside of your control, the only true way I know of to get a "handle" on them is to create a process, with its pid becoming your handle.

In situations like image processing, conversion, video transcoding, document conversion, etc. you're often dealing with non-Go-native libraries (although this problem transcends language), and there's no way to time-bound processes. That is to say that you often need to consider the Halting Problem and putting time bounds and preemption around execution. So what I've had good success with is adding a process manager around those external processes, and when a timeout or deadline is missed, kill the pid. You can also give users controls to kill processes.

Obviously there are considerations with resource cleanup and all sorts of negative consequences to this, depending on your use case, but it does provide options for time bounding and preempting things that are otherwise non-preemptable.

Salary: ~USD140k / year

I'm a senior full-stack developer with an aspiration for team/product lead or CTO-like position. For ~7 years I was co-founder and CTO of an ed-tech company called: amy.app . My co-founder and I scaled the company to about 25 employees. Before that I gained a PhD in Human Robot Interaction in NZ. Currently I'm exploring how LLMs, in particular vision, can be used to automate back office jobs. I'm very product/customer focused and pragmatic. I like to move super fast.
My dream environment is an early-stage/full-remote startup.

PS: I have a family, that means the main compensation via shares isn't an option for me. PPS: to demonstrate my speed: Here is an LLM project I fully(!) developed within 48h. It even got some traction on HN: https://www.line-items.com/

Wow, it's really cool to be able to solve all problems with just one tool!
There are people starving now in my community in Canada and it's not a problem of pride or asking for help... It is due to multiple issues interacting and compounding. Limited pools of volunteers for the food bank to be open, lack of funding for non profits that help with food security, increased costs of food due to remoteness, lack of appropriate housing and transport esp. for elders who end up isolated, kids bullying each other when accepting free meals at school (that was solved by making meals free for all at least) etc. I myself only started scratching the surface of the problem really.
Without SME, M4 still scores in the 3800s which is still significantly higher than Zen5's projection. By the way, M4 is in a 5.1mm fanless tablet.

Zen3 to Zen4 had an even larger increase in Object Detection score in GB6. From Zen3 to Zen4, Object Detection increased by 2.5x due to AVX512 which is more than M3 to M4's 2x increase.
