The Times is writing for an audience that includes East Coasters, meaning that an ordinary occurrence in your life on the West Coast will be treated as unusual on the East Coast.

(This is true in the general case: the newspaper doesn’t know what you or anyone else has been through; your responsibility as a reader is to infer whether you’re the intended audience, or whether the audience is people who haven’t had the same experience as you.)
I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and have never heard of anyone transferring to cta after taking the metra. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s not scalable solution that people will buy into. The vast majority of people will just drive in that case
Because they don’t settle in the capital. They settle in made-for-immigration suburbs that white collars don’t want to even set foot in. Basically France made immigration ghettos after the war to have cheap labour to rebuild the country.

The white collar youth complains about not being able to settle in the capital. They mean it in the most Parisian way: inside of the Périphérique, and will only consider the posh banlieues. An immigrant will be way less picky, and choose places with a local community of immigrants.
It really depends on what you're building, but Django is still undefeated for 95% of the things a solo dev will want to create. Everyone here recommends React, but all the interactivity usually doesn't add business value, just complexity and slowness.
Yes, one of the questions I ask is "what do you hate most about X?". However, in this case the person lacks "basic skills".
"Do you think there is any way to rescue this situation?"

No.

"Or should we make this (perhaps justifiably, after their misleading self-presentation) the first time we let someone go for performance reasons?"

You need to let them go. Whether you call it performance reason or not is your call. You made a mistake hiring the wrong person. It is your fault. But you need to correct it by letting them go.

Doesn't matter whether you are a small team or large. Wrong hire is a wrong hire and things won't magically change just because you wish to. Fix the problem now and go back to hiring mode. Thank me later. Been there many times.
These are all awesome projects! After skimming them, one big difference between these and LSP-AI is that LSP-AI is a language server. That means we work out of the box with almost all popular text editors and IDEs, you don't need any plugins to get completion.

For custom use cases like chat windows and some of the things we are working on next, you will still need plugins, but making it an LSP simplifies things like synchronizing document changes and a communicating with the client.
I understand what you are saying, but how does killing innocent civilians that have no say in the running of the war help?
You might be interested in Pocketbase. Lots of overlap. It’s really good.

Why do they say it's likely that the person who first posted the image on the message board got the image from the Internet Archive?
> So we're expected to feel sympathy for the broke bootstrapper?

Yes.
The only correct answer in this situation.
There should be more things in the world like Meow Wolf - this is an aspect of that in person exploration experience.

I wonder if anyone has a list of that kind of space.
Well, doing blinded studies will certainly be a challenge.
i mean yeah if you have 500k users with 56 million function invocations per day, it is expensive on a service like vercel. if you want to scale you should choose cheap services
True, I guess most artistic industries must work this way, since we all know that about 95% of all art is terrible (and that was before AI).

I feel like there's a difference between a company and an industry, though in the end I suppose it's all a sort of natural selection. Good (or rather, "fit") authors publish second books and third books, while good companies get to exist into second, third years etc.
Is there a good "drag and drop" option on the UX/UI side? I assume .NET is one?
Capitalism is one of the most important innovations. Thanks to this system, talented people not born into royalty or the upper class have the ability to change the world by convincing people with lots of capital to invest in their ideas. Figures like Sam Altman and OpenAI with ChatGPT, Steve Jobs and Apple with the iPhone, Zuckerberg and Meta with their social media platforms, and Elon Musk with SpaceX and his other endeavors exemplify this.
If CERN weren’t controlled by governments and their bureaucracy, and instead had someone like Elon running it, it would've been much more successful.

Do you have thoughts on offering PIP vs demotion and salary adjustment?

If the individual doesn't have the skills (or seemingly temperament) for a senior role, I'm not sure PIP is setting them up for success.

Versus demotion with possibility of promotion allows them to perform at their level of competence, leaving open the possibility for them to chose (or not) to aim for promotion.
Shorten Articles on iPhone with Gist
The part of Section 230 that is necessary is here: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

Without this clause, the thinking goes, when you post on Facebook (i.e. when Facebook shows your content to others), you are posting as Facebook.
I understand Doctorow's position here that completely sunsetting section 230 and making providers liable for content would immensely impact smaller communities that don't have the resources to monitor stringently OR deal with the legal fallout if they fail to, and on that point, I agree that getting rid of it is incredibly bad for the reasons outlined in the post.

However, and this is a big, big HOWEVER, it is simultaneously true that section 230 also immensely benefits those same massive network-effected tech monoliths and lets them profit IMMENSELY from the spread of truly harmful content. Misinformation about COVID being the most prescient and recent example for most people probably, propaganda from all sides that continues radicalization and polarization, and also tons of harassment campaigns arranged across sites and services too numerous to name, the most vile content you can think of in whatever stripe comes to mind for you, etc. etc., Section 230 prevents any of the websites that are caught distributing it from being held liable. And I cannot envision a situation where being held legally culpable for such material would not directly incentivize, and with ZEAL, those tech monoliths to get the shit under control.

It's clear merely market share, advertiser dollars fleeing platforms, and public outcry has not been sufficient for many of these companies to stop such things. That being the case, while I understand the opinions expressed here and sympathize with many of them, and I too have a deep, nostalgic connection to the early weird Internet, I feel it's simply too costly to continue allowing the internet to remain as wild as it is. The corrosive effects of these things on both our society at large and people as individuals continue to unravel and be more and better studied, and while I would never say we need to ban the Internet and Social Media entirely, I think it's very safe to say something like this technology has operated unregulated for far too long.

I would not be the person I am today without early unfettered access to an uncensored Internet, and I say that both as a blessing, and a curse. It gave me at once access to early technology that's turned into a prosperous career, while also afflicting me with a lifetime of mental scars of varying severity and intrusive thoughts of things I saw and cannot forget. I struggle to label this trauma, but it's certainly not a good thing I carry.

I don't know exactly what the solution here is. I think there should be some level of deniability and good-faith "we didn't know this was an issue" that these providers should have. However I feel it's also important that we're able to with legal mechanisms, say for example that Instagram is knowingly profiting off of whatever harmful content, to such a degree where there is no plausible explanation for how they didn't know, and to turn that into a legal action. This isn't really my field, so I don't know how you necessarily do that. But if that's truly impossible (which I doubt) then I feel sunsetting section 230 is the only real path forward.
NextJS does more than create-react-app, but you're not required to use all those extra features. You can use it to just escape the tedium of configuring JS tooling.
Couldn't agree more! I, personally, hired some devs which are good in a specific tech stack, but struggle to learn the stack which the company was using , keeping demands too much from themselves and I trying to teach them, doing pair programmings and they fired themselves! So, after this two cases, I tried to filter even more and had good new hires.

But simple articles like this add to knowledge in a fun way. I hope this becomes more common with more open journals.

In a Dunning-Kruger kind of way? As in, without having the familiarity with other options, you can't recognize how slow and difficult it is?
I’m really sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve also had friends who experienced severe mental health issues after big trips. It can really mess things up for people with predispositions. I know many more who find the occasional trip to be a deeply spiritual and restorative experience. Hopefully research can help bring more predictability to reduce the risk. I hope your friend gets the support and treatment they need.

Traceroute to various websites. You'll see that the IPs on the pathway are owned by companies that are neither you nor the guy you're accessing. It's how the Internet works at the network layer. You may find that some people are on every path. Your carrier, certainly, but often the first provider they're connected to.

I thought the same thing. If you look at the crawled page, it's only one of like 20 images that survived.

So either the crawl got lucky and saved the only relevant image, or there is survivor bias.

Then again, the actual crawl might be triggered precisely because the image was linked.
Fire them immediately.

I've been in this position before and the hire dragged down team productivity for almost a year as we struggled to find something that he was competent at. Wasted untold hours assigning other skilled devs to help him because we were sure that all he needed was a "bit more guidance."

After 9 months of this, our manager finally bit the bullet and he had to go. In nine months, we could not find a single task that he could be trusted to do and he had shown no improvement in that time.

Learn from our mistake!

Memory safety does come with a price. It was ever thus.

It's competitive in some respects. It's not used in browsers so it's probably not competitive there where there are different code patterns to server-side JS (unless you want a security upgrade more than top performance), due indeed to the slower warmup time which really hurts in the web environment where code gets discarded regularly.

Also, V8 probably has better memory usage. I haven't checked.

The warmup time is being worked on but these are research problems, and the V8 team is much larger than the GraalJS team is.
I gotta say, back when I worked in an old company they built a service for a client using Parse Server that still works great today, although nowadays it is fully self hosted. It has its limitations, but it’s a good abstraction for simple use cases, and it handles a lot of traffic without problems.
"What would each of the other 49 guards would say the 49 guards other than them would do?" It would be a pain to do the deduction from all of that info, but it seems like it would be enough enough. Maybe it would make more sense to have that guard write down the answer (and throw in a pencil and a few extra sheets of paper)...
For me , it is typescript all the down from nodejs , react to react native . The ecosystem is big . Whatever issue you had, there’re likely tons of resources on the web. It makes me very productive and can easily switch context between server , web and mobile as it is just the same typescript
You have complete control over the prompt configuration for LSP-AI. Feel free to check out the prompt section on our wiki: https://github.com/SilasMarvin/lsp-ai/wiki/Prompting It is very much still a work in progress, but I find the prompt I have listed as the default on that page does a good job of encouraging gpt-4o / llama 70b to provide only minimal completion suggestions.
The issue lies in the fact that we cannot establish a deterministic time interval between blocks, as miners must compete with their hashing power to discover each block. Implementing a fixed interval would compromise security. Moreover, setting a very short time frame between blocks could lead to a bunch of orphan blocks and other issues because of relay time, bandwidth, and others.

The idea is interesting, but the implementation poses challenges.
Slander is a legal term with a specific definition in the US court system. For you to accuse someone in the US of slander against someone else in the US is only logical to interpret as "x person could sue y person for slander". Otherwise why use the legal term?
EDIT: more succinctly: are there clear reasons beyond the historical and social that fundamental research in one field receives large investment versus another?

—-

I think stuff like this is awesome (though I have absolutely zero experience in physics research let alone particle physics research), but I was having a conversation with a mathematician friend, and I didn’t really have a good answer for this question: is there a good reason we put $17B (or might) towards something like this as opposed to something like the Langlands program, or some of the millennium prize problems, etc?

I mean there are some obvious historical answers (ie the links between particle physics research departments of energy and defense), as well practical answers like the fact that throwing money at experimental and hardware problems seems like a more direct path to success than just hiring mathematicians to work harder…

But I couldn’t necessarily come up with a good answer that spoke to why might we actually value (financially) this kind of research over others. Is it just inertia? Every researcher wishes their field had massive amounts of funding of course. And in the grand scheme of science research, this isn’t all that much funding I suppose?

Anyways, it’s amazing that we can undertake massive international research projects like this. Just interesting to think about.
Neither of those say what your comment implied - that they get a special deal and that’s because they are a founder.

this is very true with diabetes equipment since there is constant alerts (for example from insulin pumps) of low battery, undelivered insulin, etc. I think it definitely helps to give users the right amount of control if it's non life critical like a CGM or for insulin delivery.

The "idea that these providers are simply neutral carriers of content" is a false premise, isn't it?

The piece you link is ... weird. First, it doesn't really describe the problem it's trying to solve. Then it presents some very vague policy prescriptions like "site[s] should be regulated by sector-specific rules that apply to that particular line of business".
Android is kind of pointless without phones it is running on, so having a code does not mean you have any use for it. Same for routers using Linux. Kind of pointless to have source code when you don't have the hardware.
At the same time I kept thinking if they did fire the dev those 4 points you listed would happen. Damned if you do damned if you don’t.
My impression is that a good novel today being turned into a series or screenplay is what huge scale novel success used to be. Huge scale success with just a book is very rare, though there are some writers who find a niche audience.

The thing I decry is the worthless idle attention suck of “social” media. That competes with all forms of quality art and content. Instead of watching good movies or listening to music or reading a book people are scrolling TikTok, Xhitter, Instagram, etc.

Oh yes, a good example is setting a magic value to a registry [1] to make sure your microcontroller (in my case, an ESP32-S3) wouldn't reboot because of the watchdog.

At first, I was confused on the behavior - after reading the datasheet and setting the magic value, it all made sense. I'm pretty sure it will look like wizardry to the next person looking at the magic value alone.

Thankfully code comments are a thing, but magic values are still magic values.

As far as I understand, most commercially-used inks these days are soy-based, so shouldn’t pose an issue.
Alaska and the UK have some monster earth worms in general; what made those unique, imo, was being monsterous but also being composting. Most big earth worms are not composting worms.
The book was forbidden by AT&T from publishing, the moment AT&T got released from the ban to sell their research, in parallel to the BSD lawsuit.

It kept being shared via piracy across universities, until AT&T and other commercial UNIX vendors, eventually allowed the book to be published again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Commentary_on_the_UNIX_Opera...

Had the book never seen the light of the day, in the alternative universe of a commercial UNIX, universities wouldn't have adopted UNIX as research material to feed the next generation of UNIX clone makers.
I'm receptive to a nuanced, intelligent take on the issue, but this isn't it. It's a one-sided partisan screed.

Again, this is a disingenuous argument in that it ignores the issue of the monopoly power of the biggest Big Tech.

The distinction between "publisher" and "common carrier" has to be sharpened, and maybe (hear me out here) if a company is big enough that its acquisitions have to be scrutinized by the FTC for market-controlling power, then it's also tending to deserve "common carrier" treatment. Just a thought.

There is simply zero evidence that microplastics are killing people at higher rates than obesity. If they were, it would be very obvious in the data.
I think the simplest explanation for dark matter is that it consists of something we already know exists and behaves exactly like dark matter: black holes. To fit this explanation, we would need a vast number of black holes, each relatively small, approximately the size of a tennis ball. These black holes would be large enough to have persisted since the early universe, avoiding conversion into Hawking radiation. The remaining question is how such a multitude of primordial black holes could have formed in the early universe. The most likley answer to this question is density fluctuations. During the very early moments after the Big Bang, slight variations in density could have caused regions of space to collapse under their own gravity, forming black holes. If the density contrast was large enough, these regions would collapse directly into black holes.

>Yeah so you had time to do the shopping, cooking, and portioning every week which is at least a few hours right?

Yes, after taking 18 hours a semester and working 30 hours a week.

>And you had a single store nearby that could provide you with everything you needed in one go, and reliable access to it.

No I did not, I typically made several trips to markets and shops to get the things I required. Typically early in the morning or late in the evening.

>And of course a kitchen

No, a kitchenette in a tiny hole I called home.

>a way to store it during the week

Yes. Humans have figured out ways to store food for eons.

>a way to carry it

My backpack?

>and reheat it where you need to eat it.

Reheating not required, though I did use the microwave at the student lounge and work often.

>You can see how not every part of this is guaranteed right?

Every part wasn't guaranteed for me, not sure what point you're making?

>And how removing even one makes it significantly more of a burden

It's not a burden, it's an essential part of human existence that, checks notes, billions of people from the richest to the poorest countries do every day.

If you’re just starting out a full batteries included thing will work best, meaning database and frameweok with history of stability, popularity and long term support. Ruby on Rails, php with laravel, Python with Django. Because any framework that’s not married to an orm means more voices you have to make and less support and more problems. No js framework meets these criteria although nextjs gets kind of close imo.
