I don’t get why sleep studies are necessary to get CPAP / APAP machines. These should be over the counter. No you don’t need a study or a doctor to tell you what pressure to use - you can figure that out based on the quality of sleep the machine detects or your own tolerance for discomfort or just by using the automatic settings. What a racket.
We just had French drains put in around a farmhouse we bought as it had major drainage issues. They seemed to be working well last weekend during a few thunderstorms. Given the current tropical storm pounding NC I am glad we did it before all this rain.
I've been getting into photography lately, and early on I was able to carry around my whole gear collection at once. It was an interesting new dimension when I started having to make decisions about what to take and what to leave behind.
Is it really so fundamentally different from GCP

No, they're all mostly the same on a fundamental level. If you're familiar with any of the big three, you're far ahead of someone who has never used public cloud before when learning a new one. Nonetheless, some employers won't want to eat the cost of getting you up to speed.

Employers I've been exposed to tend not to care which public cloud you've used, just that you're familiar with how cloud works overall.

Instead of C#, why not F#? You get proper ADTs among many other great features, but you still get all the utility of the .NET ecosystem.
.. and being "close" to the occasional death: The inter-city CalTrain (the outside of the train) is used frequently by those amongst us who pursue suicide, and aside from that dropping a mini-nuke on society / friends + family, another side-effect is 2-3 hours of delay on CalTrain. Overall, a traumatic and unhealthy commute.

Living in SF and working in South Bay sucked for me, when I did that, for that reason in particular.

Are there really $500 bikes? New? What brand? I thought entry level was like 1k
Is the terminology slightly off? AIUI TypeScript has type unions.

But this looks like a discriminated union which I'd recognise from F# or Haskell. The distinction I'd draw is that for a DU there are named case constructors. Yes?
Rock Climbing. Trad/aid climbing. Hundreds of pounds of gear. All manner of little twists of metal on loops of string or webbing. Ropes. Harnesses. Shoes. Bespoke ascender rigs. Bags of various belay devices. Some of it is expensive, costing hundred of dollars a piece. Other stuff is dirt cheap. Once you buy that second rurp, then you are an addict.
The fact that they are selling a negative number of units shows that they aren't, in fact, taking off.
Given that you're writing a custom allocator, why were you trying to hand allocations over to malloc()? Why not entirely replace malloc() for the process?

(If you still need libc malloc for smaller non-growable allocations under the hood, you should be able to privately access it via dlopen()/dlsym() in your code, shouldn't you?)
I do like Scala, and I haven't touched Scala3, but I've found it pretty unwieldy for actual use. It feels like I'm constantly fighting with the type system in a way that ends up being annoying an unpleasant.

To be clear, it's not like I'm new to functional languages and their type systems, I've been doing Haskell for forever, and I did F# for a multiple years, but Scala has never really clicked for me.

Personally, for doing JVM stuff, I'm a pretty die-hard Clojure advocate. I feel like it's easy for me to write Clojure in the way that I think, while still allowing me to mooch off the entire Java ecosystem, and if there are things that I don't like about the language it's really not that hard to macro in a new feature (though obviously this should be used sparingly).

I definitely recommend giving F# a try. I think it's an extremely underrated language.
If you have an understanding of basic computer science, full-stack development, and the type of different services required to run an app; then you should be fine if you have experience with one versus the other.

Each cloud provider has their different features and quirks, but their underlying services are pretty much the same when it comes to managed servers for computing, data storage, caching, queuing, notifications, email, network policy, etc.

Basically what I am saying is that if you have a deep understanding of AWS or GCP, what each service does, and how billing works; then it just comes down to what each provider names their service, such as RDS or S3.

If you are trying to jumpstart your career with AWS and already have a deep understanding of GCP, then watch some quick AWS cloud practitioner guides on YouTube. If you feel comfortable enough with what they are talking about, then you can go take the cloud practitioner certification test in person next week and add that certification on your resume for less than $200.
Tree should be far away from the drain line. The roots will eventually grow into the pipe. Tree roots are incredible at finding water sources. Even a drop-at-a-time drip from a water pipe will be completely root wrapped in a few years.
What are the Olympics shooting competitors wearing on their faces?
This is an incredible idea.

I decided to give it a try, but got discouraged because there's no guidance during the process on what will or won't work. I don't know if the floorplan I have will "work," and I don't understand why it's asking for things like the total area of the floorplan or how that will affect the AI's ability to parse the image and create the rooms. I imagine it's necessary to give a point of reference for the scale of the drawing, but does it also infer things from text on the floorplan or not? Or is the visual language of floorplans standardized across states/provinces/codes to the point where I don't have to worry, as long as it's a "real" floorplan?

It's hard to commit to a purchase when I have no idea what the end result will look like. It would be really helpful to have a gallery of examples showing floorplans and their corresponding 3D results. That way, I could better understand what kinds of input work well and which don’t.
Maybe if they do alpinism too, or trad climbing. But it can also be just a neat little pile worth less than 500$
The new company is called Corelle and they make a pretty durable range dishes and bowls out of the same material. I don't think I've ever broken one by dropping it, however if you drop a ceramic knife blade onto one of them the Corelle will immediately fracture for some reason.

Some of my hobbies I'm like this. I actually think it's been a detriment in one case where I hit a skill wall without realizing until years later. I just convinced my self I suck for to long, and the problem actually was the equipment for to long.

I think a french drain to a pit-type depression that can hold a few hundred gallons of water and drains across hours is the way to go.

And the french drain can be simply a slight trench. It doesn't need to be underneath anything. This worked for me and water runoff management around an old house. The lot had a funky grade, and all I wanted to do was get the water away from the structure. A little light pickax/trenching work got me what I needed.

My personal reality, my mood + shifting daily self-expectations, have been sour of late.

I will do as you recommend, and seek some inner clarity. (It truly does work...bless the AI makers.)
Yeah, and disabilities in general so unglamorous that I think nothing is likely to ever change. Black people have more numbers, it's a better brand, and it still didn't help.

That's not to say that racial minorities are seen in a better light by society, or less unfairly maligned. It's just that they have average qualities, like the minorities. So "black charisma" is something that's always being artificially diminished.

However, there were the athletes and the public figures. We're used to seeing great men, and it was obvious there was a scheme under way to keep people down. The "great men" (but not women) shine through; it's just like that other great thing we're used to seeing. Women are left out due to discrimination.

Things are a little different for people with disabilities. If you're white, you have the weight of society behind you, but you're still in a bad spot relative to the rest. The brand is so bad you have to just not talk about it and "try to fit in".

The incredibly frustrating part is bitter artists that really think I'm doing something TO them, because I'm miserable and see no way out. What are you going to say? You have the money and power.

Lots of people that don't work in industry, don't seem to understand this is a load of bullshit. You're almost never actually doing the thing itself. I'll compare someone mastering records to an engineer, even many session players, but a ton of artists/DJs aren't doing menial work to achieve someone else's vision.

They're not comparable to the salary worker. I want to see salary jobs in arts treated roughly like the rest, as well as options for people to see out their vision, with less immediate rewards.

I digress, but hobbies, interests, and social networks don't work the same for me. So "quitting my job" would be akin to their agreeing to live alone on a dessert island.
This sounds like a build versus buy problem. The description strongly suggests buying.

You are trying to start a business. The cost of buying what you need can be reflected in the price. Your customers will pay for the cost of your store and get what they pay for.

Running a business will provide you ample other opportunities for you to pay the dumb tax. Good luck.
What is multikey?
I'm originally from a small fishing village in north-east Scotland and used to speak a very broad dialect called Doric (loons, quines etc.) I'm pretty sure this is fairly different from the "Ulster Scots" you mention.

What was interesting is that people from a farming background had a very different accent to folks from the coastal fringe - even though they might only be living a couple of kms away!
I actually think that your landing page is on the right track. At least, if I'm your target customer. As someone who has hours and hours of long-form video, this page looks like I can take the videos that I have recorded and mince them into smaller self-contained pieces very easily. For perspective, I am a paid user of Descript and have played with Riverside.fm. This tool intrigues me (I've already signed up and am experimenting) because it looks like it can even auto-detect where B-Roll should go. If this is true, then no other tool really does this that I'm aware and is kind of a killer feature. You also seem adjacent to [AutoPod](https://www.autopod.fm/)
I asked a question here about LLMs in early days and someone responded with RAG

I asked ChatGPT what RAG was and got something like Reasoning, Analysis, and Generation

I didn't know better back then not to trust an LLM to know about the latest human buzzwords about those very LLMs
Maybe, I used to live closer to a Bart station and it was faster so I always took that down town if I could.
TypeScript has "union types". This proposal refers to them as "ad hoc unions". I don't think "type union" is a term of the art - at least I haven't heard it before. It seems to be something the C# people are making up to describe sum types.
One of my favorite features of Safari is the ability, per website (and as a global default) to turn reader mode on by default where stuff like that is hidden.
They're kinda similar in that they're both tempered glasses - where you create residual compressive stress in the outer part of the glass which makes it stronger. However, there are different ways to temper glass. Superfest (and Gorilla Glass in smartphones) uses an ion-exchange technique where sodium ions on the surface are replaced with larger potassium ions.

I'm guessing that Duralex uses a thermal tempering process where the glass is heated very high and then rapidly cooled to temper it, but I don't know. Maybe Duralex also uses an ion-exchange and it just isn't as good as the Superfest process. Even with smartphone screens, newer techniques from Corning have created much stronger screens than we had 10-15 years ago even though they're all using the same basic ion-exchange technique.

Personally, I love tempered glass even if it might break. They're a lot less likely to break, they're less dangerous if they do break, and they don't really cost that much more. Maybe you'll pay $3/glass for regular soda-lime glasses and $5-6/glass for nice tempered ones, but I bought my tempered glasses a decade ago and still have all of them, despite having moved 3 times (and my packing technique doesn't involve bubble wrap or anything). Maybe Superfest is better, but for my non-restaurant use, tempered glasses like those from Duralex or Bormioli Rocco seem to be good enough.
I actually worked for a startup that makes tiny FPAA's (Field Programmable Analog Arrays) for the low powered battery market. Their major appeal was that you could reprogram the chip to synthesize a real analog network to offload the signal processing portion of your product for a tiny fraction of the power cost.

The key thing is that analog components are influenced much more by environmental fluctuations (think temperature, pressure, and manufacturing), which impacts the "compute" of an analog network. Their novelty was that the chip can be "trimmed" to offset these impacts using floating gate MOSFETs, the same that are used in flash memory, as an analog offset. It works surprisingly well, and I suspect if they can capture the low power market we'll see a revitalization of analog compute in the embedded space. It would be really exciting to see this enter the high bandwidth control system world!
I have personally never bought / donated anything from / to a cold-caller or a door-to-door salesman. At most it might pique my interest into doing my own research into the field/product and seek out the market leader on my own.
"I didn't feel that threatened, but I can only imagine how X group would feel" doesn't make much sense if X group is actually at a lower risk.

I don't know if they're right at all, but the point seems pretty clear. And they're not saying anyone is safe.
Is this like a prince rupert's drop? i assume this completely explodes when it breaks.
> They even ported Super Mario 64 to the 3DFX API.

That's... not surprising. UltraHLE ran SM64 like a dream, and the HLE bit referred to the fact that the emulator translated 3D calls to the Glide API rather than attempting to emulate the 3D hardware directly.
Optimizing Python extensions is becoming increasingly important as Python is used in more and more compute intensive environments.

The key for optimizing a Python extension is to minimize the number of times you have to interact with Python.

A couple of other tips in addition to what this article provides:

1. Object pooling is quite useful as it can significantly cut down on the number of allocations.

2. Be very careful about tools like pybind11 that make it easier to write extensions for Python. They come with a significant amount of overhead. For critical hotspots, always use the raw Python C extension API.

3. Use numpy arrays whenever possible when returning large lists to Python. A python list of python integers is amazingly inefficient compared to a numpy array of integers.
There was a similar thing to tea a while back. I think I saw the project posted on here. Went to their github and found a typo in their Readme. Opened a pr with a correction and then they started sending me about a dollar in btc every month till they ran out of money and the project imploded.

Desks, drum machines, synthesizers, mixers are not really niche products. They take fairly common items, and create a version that appeals to hipsters but is not as useful as cheaper options. Example $2k for this little synth https://teenage.engineering/store/op-1-field which wouldn't appeal to most synthesizer enthusiasts. Its more like office desk toy.
Mozilla has a moment being presented to them right now and I fear they are going to totally blow it.

there is nothing easy or robust about kubernetes. Hence all the tooling around it, having things break down if you don't update. Dependencies not being compatible all the time. Server management should cost as little time, and be stress free.

There are many ways to solve the up/down issue and depends on which language you are running.

Without canonizing Hancock, it should be noted that he is and has always presented himself as a journalist; and he has been consistent in reporting the theories of scientists and researchers who have gone against the mainstream and had their careers damaged or destroyed, but have ultimately been proven right or at least shown that their ideas are resistant to facile dismissal.

He is more in the line of an aggregator or curatorial journalist than someone who is simply dreaming things up on his own.
What would the rough timeframe be for seeing adoption of this into the language?

I was considering introducing the OneOf library into our codebase, but if this is < a year or so away it might not be worth the effort.

It's funny you ask this because this question has come up a bunch of times. It just maps to our mission and we decided we really wanted to be true to it. Our mission is to help people/companies release their ideas to the world quickly. So it just fit and we decided it was worth the tradeoff for it to be a little harder to search for. In the end if we're successful it will be because we built something people want (i.e. apple.com) vs the name we chose.
Yeah of course.

Just to be 100% clear, I'm genuinely not actually trying to condemn anyone here; I don't really blame Apple for not making it super easy to install Linux, and I'm certainly not blaming people donating their time and effort for not working fast enough to make my life easier. So much FOSS is a labor of love and so I'm not entitled to anything from them as a result.
I agree with you regarding press fit BBs, but aren't externally threaded BBs also better for casual cyclists and more reliable?

I don't care in the slightest about BB stiffness and weight, but I would much rather have a BSA threaded external BB. That way if something happens and I need to change my cranks (or god forbid, bearings) I don't have to worry about needing a specialized crank puller or anything like that, an Allen key is enough, and I never have to worry about stripping my cranks, and I never have to worry about my cranks falling out and marring from the bolt getting loose. Something like an ISIS spline two/three piece crank that's either self extracting or bolted like Shimano MTB cranks is perfect. Simple, cheap, no specialized tools needed, and no risk of catastrophic failure. And I'll never need to repack the bearings ever again. Plus, as someone who lives in a place where they salt the roads, I'd much rather deal with a rusty threaded external bearing BB than a square taper that might never come out of the frame.
Absolutely stunning.

Permaculture uses very shallow ditches to force water to serpentine across the property. What doesn’t sink in shows up in the greater watershed much later in the precipitation. Not unlike urban rain gardens.
I was born in a walkable in Europe. School was 5 minutes (by walk) from home. High school was 10-15 minutes by bus, plus 10 minutes walking to the bus stops. The bus service was very frequent, there was no endless waiting on bus stops in snow or heat. If Communist Poland could pull it of, so could the richest country in the world.

How Android Earthquake Alerts System Works (2020)
It's my understanding that Steam does not really do exclusivity deals, outside of games they self-publish, which is why I asked the question. I wasn't sure if I was wrong on that point.

I've read some blog posts by indie developers that break down the cost model and effort required to publish to various platforms (Steam, Epic, etc). I can't seem to find them now though... But the general takeaway was that Steam is where the consumers are, so you end up making the most amount of money there. They also have a really nice pipeline that covers every aspect of development, publishing, and payment. I suspect the benefit of publishing on multiple platforms may simply not be worth the effort when Steam has the pipeline, the storefront, and more importantly, the customer base.

I've seen similar things in the mobile app space. The Apple store is where the money is at, and there are many apps that are not on Android. This isn't because of an exclusivity deal with Apple, but rather a business decision made by each developer.

What works decently well for me is to avoid advertising like the plague. Adblock everything: browser, DNS, anywhere I can do it. Disable targeted advertising wherever I can't outright block it, if that's an option.

Avoid visiting websites where there's a lot of advertisement disguised as news or useful content; often enthusiast websites on whatever your hobby is will have a lot of that, so find better sites.

Don't watch regular TV with commercials. Only use streaming services, and always pay for the ad-free versions. "That's so expensive," you say? Not when you consider how much crap you'll buy when you're bombarded with advertising all the time.

You can never eliminate all advertising from your life, but the less you expose yourself to, the better. Adopt a mindset that ads are a form of psychological manipulation (because they are), and make yourself hate them. That alone will make you somewhat less susceptible to it (or at least I like to think so). Be deliberate about purchases. Seek out things that you know you want because you want them; don't buy stuff because you saw it featured somewhere.
Do you happen to recall the post in particular that helped you with this realization?
