Amazon really is a terrible retailer. Their search is a complete joke. The reviews are impossible to trust. They'll happily send you counterfeit goods. They rip off designs and new products to replace with their own inferior versions, and even customer service isn't what is used to be.

I think the main reason people use/prefer them is familiarity and availability. There are lots of things that are hard to find in local shops or even other stores online. That's in no small part because of what amazon as done to brick and mortar retail and their online competitors, but I do feel for people who want something but have no idea where they'd even start looking for it except for amazon. The situation is likely to only get worse as search engines grow increasingly less useful.

Even when you want to quit them it can be hard to escape amazon. It's work to try to determine the trustworthiness of random storefronts you've never heard of before entrusting them with your credit card info, and I've even heard stories of people who ordered from other sites, paying more than they would have on amazon, only to get their item in an amazon box.
This is similar to the expression tree API of C# so no change in the JVM is required, only cooperation between the java compiler and the reflection API.

The code model can be computed by the compiler, inserted in the classfile in a specific binary or text format and read at runtime using the reflection API.

I've not taken a look to the implementation so it's speculation but I do not think the JVM need to be changed.
Why does moral progress feel preachy and annoying? Essays
Where did I say to not isolate the variables? In fact, part of isolating the variables is understanding that any conclusions you make while testing A are exclusive to A and adding more variables might completely change the results. That's good science.
100% team rebase -- I think the fear comes from "rewriting history", which sounds scary until you realize that git is entirely immutable data store (through the API at least). Blockchain for the win!

I find merging to be extremely tough to work with -- I don't think I actually got good at git until I learned to rebase entirely.

Also, cherry-picking (effectively an atomic rebase-type) is underrated.
You sort of get that if you're consistent in working on a separate branch, rebasing, and keeping the merge commit when you finally merge.
I don't think the choices made sense even back when they were made. LangChain always looked like an answer in search of a question, a collection of abstractions that don't do much except making a simple thing more complex.
How to Hire AI Engineers
Very first game I played on a computer was Zork 1. Old Commodore 64. I think I still have the disk jacket for it (but not the disk, sadly).
Belligerent and mentally incompetent elderly are tough to care for. They operate power tools. They drive cars. They know where you keep your backups of legal documents. They often deteriorate into activities befitting a small child (fixation on cutting things, refusing to eat their vegetables, violence, impulsivity, etc.)

All involved who are potential caregivers have to endure seeing the person they once respected act like a literal child, and this is a chronic disease that only gets worse with time.

There are several potential caregivers who simply can't lift that relationship as it is too heavy for them (emotionally, physically, mentally, etc.).

Really, this syndrome comes from family/potential caregivers not having a regular communication (monthly at least) about the current care needs and degeneration of the mind/body.

I hurt for these people and the caregivers who show magic thinking by believing it won't happen to them if they find that it was preventable by a doctor's negligence therefore the caregiver, as the child, will not get the same cognitive decline.

Sure; they say it's "roughly half" the "usable volume" of the ISS.

The latter being 388 or 900 or 1005 m^3 because habitable != pressurised, and for the latter NASA publishes two values[0][1], so that's about 194/450/502 m^3 total or 54 people 3.5/8.3/18.6 m^3 per person.

For comparison, the Apollo CSM and lander were 6.2 m^3 and 6.7 m^3 total for 3/2 crew, so even at that (I agree unpleasant) density, it's a plausible size for the pressurised volume of an emergency-return-to-earth lifeboat.

Small companies are addressed indirectly in my second paragraph. Even if you have a small company or a small team, they still need full-stack experience. Documentation for frameworks like React is already very mature, so I don't think it is a problem. The scope might be slightly larger, but getting a React stack going nowadays can be done with a single command, and maintaining it has not been an issue for my team of mostly backend engineers: we are able to manage a few UIs in React for our tools without any problems. I would say the additional complexity introduced by React has been minimal, the team likes it, users like it, and the experience was pleasant enough to win me over.

Adding another output format to an existing product is not a scary problem and usually not even a time consuming one, and best of all you can wait until it's actually needed.

I could say the same about my experience with UI frameworks. It's not a scary problem, it's not particularly time-consuming, and by adopting it, I gain the flexibility to handle new use cases like integrations with other APIs, integrations with other frontends, and CLI tools right from the start. A proactive approach means I don’t need to revisit and rework the application later.
If you're using complicated git commands, you're probably doing the wrong thing.

Because Wayland is worse than X11. Unfortunately, it is true that sometimes after your software design gets worse it gets better, but other times after it gets worse it gets worse. It's not correct to assume that something will get better just because it is currently worse.
It’s a simple math of risk vs reward. Let me explain before dismissing my argument.

Do you know why there are so many “Big Pharma”? It has to be big, because most of the smaller ones simply can’t survive for long. Developing drug is a difficult process. Whopping 90% of compounds fail during the three phase clinical trial period, $40k per patient in the trial, hundreds of millions of dollars per trial.

Every failed trial is a signal for career change for people who develops drugs. You think people will invest in such risky business without expecting a big reward? Asking for low drug price without lowering the clinical trial cost is assuming drugmakers can print money. Unfortunately biology doesn’t work like that.

A lot of us who develop drug are doing it because we believe this is a meaningful thing we can do in the world. They are just hidden behind investors like Shkrelli, who isn’t even anywhere near the actual people who make the drug. But we do need the money to develop the drug. A lot of it.
I hope you understand.

The real solution is to lower the cost of the trial. And I maintain that the drug company isn’t in control of this.

> Discoverability. meetup.com wins by having a list of events which is not just searchable and taggable etc, but also massive. So people just browse on there and find your event via their interests. That's a tough thing for any newcomer to compete with obviously.

Agreed. Initially, I planned to do similar to what RemoteOK did and aggregate listings from Meetup/Eventbrite/etc and just link back to the source directly, to gain traction. It seems like a legal grey area though so I'm hesitant to go that route, but it would solve that problem for me though.

I would love input on this from anyone with experience doing anything similar or who knows the legal ins and outs.
I've not used GitUp so I'm not sure how much help this will be to you since I can't objectively compare the two.
As an example, let's say I want to remove some changes from a commit (and potentially move those into one or more different commits). If I go into the commit and select the chunks I want to revert, I can click `u` and right away I get the revert chunk added into my staging area AND the original chunk added to my working tree. Then I just fix-up the original commit (c F) to remove the unwanted change, and commit the original change - either in a few different commits or possibly just one.

The HTTP header comparison at the end is so close but so far. The auth in the server is basically your tsv file.

You said "they're no longer in business", you didn't say "they lose money", those are not the same thing. You can lose money for a long time and still be in business because you're good at attracting capital. This is not an hypothetical, it actually happens in the real world. Madoff stayed in business for 30 years while at the same time losing money.

Furthermore, you might make money but less than you could at no risk.

Your criterion of being in business is awful. It sounds like it was the first thing that popped into your mind and you entertained it for about a second before typing it down.

Geoengineering may be counterproductive in a warmer global climate

The wolves/sheep thing was to indicate how moralizing and infantalizing serves as a substitute for actually explaining what the problem is, because surely, it's not that the prose machine isn't doing circuit design.

I'm sure you see it, I'd just love for someone to pause their internal passion play long enough to explain what they're seeing. Because I refuse to infantalize, I refuse to believe it's just grumbling because its not 100% accurate 100% of the time, and doesn't do 100% of everything.
Yeah, arbitrary precision is different from fixed point precision that financial institutions typically need. MPFR is arbitrary precision so if you’re doing stuff involving our solar system and beyond, you probably want to use mpfr and be very careful in setting up the equations you’re using. Financial transactions have different requirements though and the arbitrary precision is unnecessarily slow, uses unnecessary amounts of RAM, and I believe will probably difficult to configure correctly. That being said, I’ve never really used mpfr. More just relaying what I understand to be the lay of the land.
> sounds like the sayings of someone who has not ever seen a 50% of death

Well, this sounds like simple ad-hominem. I appreciate your insight, overall, though.

Many ideologically-driven people, like war field medics, explorers, adventurers, revolutionaries, and political martyrs take on very high risk endeavors.

I would also like to explore unknown parts of the Moon despite the risks, even if they were 50%. And I would wholeheartedly try to do it and put myself in the race, if not for a disqualifying condition.

There is also the matter of controllable and uncontrollable risks of death. The philosophy around dealing with them can be quite different. From my experience with battlefield medicine (albeit limited to a few years), I accepted the risks because the cause was worth it, the culture I was surrounded by was to accept these risks, and I could steer them by taking precautions and executing all we were taught. No one among the people I trained with thought they couldn't. And yes, many people ultimately dropped out for it, as did I.

Strapping oneself to a rocket is a very uncontrollable risk. The outcome, from an astronaut's perspective, is more random. I think that offers a certain kind of peace. We are all going to die at random times for random reasons, I think most people make peace with that, especially as they go into old age. That is a more comfortable type of risk for me.

Individuals have different views on mortality. Some are more afraid than others, some are afraid in one set of circumstances but not others. Some think that doing worthwhile things in their lives outweighs the risk of death every time. Your view is valid, but so is others'.

Glad to see this development. The amount of FUD around AVs is too high, and allowing each individual municipality to set their own regulations for AVs would have been a ridiculous amount of red tape for these companies to deal with. Just to pull one particularly bad quote from this article:

> would proof of work be feasible and/or desirable to deter mass crawling?

No. Bad actors generally don’t pay for CPU/GPU as they use compromised hosts or legit hosts with stolen payment info.

This same “proof of work” solution didn’t fix email spam 20 years ago, for the same reasons. It only adds costs to legitimate activities while being a minor inconvenience to bad actors.
With all the red tape the EU has created, I think it's still better than dealing with 27 completely separate jurisdictions.

You can’t do stacked PRs without merge commits, not unless you really like conflicts anyway.
It depends on the BMS. Some have big buffers, some don’t. One simple clue is how fast it charges relative to the state of charge. If the battery takes a while to go from 95 to 100%, it more likely goes to a full state of charge. If the battery charges very fast to 100%, it probably has some buffer.

In my experience, vacuum cleaners and smartphones are designed to destroy the battery as fast as possible, while most car manufacturers will have a big buffer and lie about the true 100%. With some notable exceptions though, like Tesla that allows to charge to 100% with some scary warnings or Nissan that designed some early Leafs battery pack without longevity in mind.
And yet we still don’t have Data or the Holographic Doctor.
I guess it depends on what you mean by a complicated command.
Highly disciplined/structured PRs (with a high rate of atomic commits) merged via merge commit have significant benefits:

- easier to read/analyze

- have better documentation (more isolated git metadata/history)

- are easier to debug (and possible to bisect; it's not possible to bisect a squashed commit).

The problem is that it requires a significant amount of discipline (of course, 100% rate of atomic commits is not possible, but high rate is).
