I got used to React components, and after that templates feel a bit cumbersome and un-ergonomic in places.

I’ve been using Django templates since 2006. Jinja was designed after Django templates of that era, fixing their most glaring problems. Don’t remember the exact year when I started using Jinja a lot. Maybe 2013.

For example, a pure existence of an {% include %} tag. People use it, implicitly passing many arguments to some other template. Which makes it very hard to understand and change later.

Macros are not that pleasant to use, there are less features in macros then in Python functions, and tools support is much worse too (static analysis, formatting, etc).

Filters… why do I need to write `value|string` instead of `str(value)`?

Etc.

Our society is wealthy partially because of this inequality, not in spite of it. The real risk and extreme danger of penury provides a pressure for people to work for the lowest wages possible, keeping the price of the produced goods low for those who can afford them.

Places with more mechanisms to prevent falling into deep poverty and policies to alleviate it have higher wages at the very bottom, and less wealth both in personal net and GDP per capita. But even then it only benefits local workers: they still depend on an immiserated worker underclass somewhere to make their cheap goods.

Capitalism created this problem, and it is a fundamental mechanism in how capitalism creates wealth. It's not within the powers of capitalism to solve it.

Notice how all the platforms you cite are profit-driven. Such crap is the inevitable result of any corporate-owned social platform. IMO try out Mastodon (and don't join mastodon.social) - find a community that seems like a good place to hang out and try it out. Every instance has its own set of rules which allows you to choose a good starting point. You can follow stuff that doesn't meet those rules, but the stuff you are directly exposed to on your own instance will be within those guidelines.

There are plenty of situations where you pay up front and fill in the tip before service is actually rendered. I've had situations where I tip the standard and get bad service (eg missed side orders).
> For example, how do we classify a tip vs a wage?

Tips are well defined by the IRS, including reporting requirements: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe...
I grew up in a very blue collar rust belt type of area, and if you were a smart kid that showed an interest in the military, the school guidance staff would try to keep you away from the standard military recruiters and point you towards ROTC while studying engineering at State U. A person taking that route would never have been assigned to Hopper’s team.

And again, the wealthy area where I live now, if you are a bright kid that shows an interest in the military they are going to try to get you to do ROTC at the top engineering school possible, or setting up interviews with the Congressman or Senator to try to get a nomination into one of the academies.

So by percentages, the best enlisted men and women are likely to be from more rural areas.
Depleting the land in that manner is what caused the Dust Bowl. May sound dumb, but it is certainly not.
I think it's been fairly obvious for a long time that dark matter and dark energy are fairy tales invented to make our flawed theories fit the data.
Surely that's an inherent false dichotomy. The mere utterance of "decorated shed" implies the existence of an undecorated shed, where nothing lacks structural purpose.

>The criticism of the non-structural columns for non-functionality in the context of an art museum.

The letter reads as if the columns are criticized not for lacking structural purpose, but rather for being unnecessary obstructions. "We [will] live to regret our accepting this detail of his design." That would have to be because the columns are either ugly or a hindrance.
I have no idea what that code means but I assume it has something to do with maximum heart rate? The only way to know your actual maximum heart rate is to do a maximum effort test. This value will be activity specific: all else being equal, most people can hit a higher max HR when running than cycling because running recruits more muscles.

But knowing your max HR won't directly tell you the heart rate at which the majority of your power output is generated from anaerobic metabolism. There is only a loose relationship between those numbers, with significant variations between individuals. Again, if you want to actually know your numbers then you'll need to do a metabolic test in a real sports performance lab where they can measure inhaled and exhaled gasses while you pedal a stationary bike, along with data from power meter and HR sensors. Some consumer fitness trackers such as Garmin bike computers can also give you a rough estimate of heart rate zones based on your HRV response curve.

The tipping culture in the US has got totally out of control over last 3-4 years.

I'm more than fine tipping low waged people who provide an actual service like wait staff and barbers, but the ubiquitous payment terminals taking over for credit card payment, where the cashier/counter staff expect a 10/15/20% or more tip (some now have 20% as the minimum, unless you go "custom") for doing nothing, piss me off!

What next, will tips for supermarket cashiers be next? CVS checkout too?
This historical distinction has nothing to do with today's coders and programmers where a simple calculator does more than the super computers of the early days.

Thank you all for the insightful comments. I appreciate how this community shares its thoughts with such care and knowledge. I agree that while GPTs handle simpler tasks effectively, complex questions have never been Stack Overflow's strong suit.

A project I’ve been working on started as a web annotation tool and has evolved into a visual task manager called JustBeepIt (https://justbeepit.com). Considering many of our users are developers, we observed that Stack Overflow wasn’t among the sites where users create tasks. This led me to question why it seems to be losing its prominence.
I have the opposite memory :) I remember writing complex applications in Flask and it just worked right away, and as our performance / complexity grew it kind of kept up because it was very modular.
Is it a CFAA violation to check a box that says "I'm not a robot" when you are, in fact, a robot?

I know we've had some victories recently for web scraping like the hiQ case, but I don't remember it it covered bypassing "technical protections" in a similar way that copyright laws are applied.

(Serious question, since I'm used to those sort of recaptcha-solving services only being advertised on far seedier websites, so I'm surprised it highlighted on the homepage. For the record I am against that interpretation of CFAA but personally wouldn't want to be the test case)

I apologize for such a naive comment, as I don't have experience in this field, but I've seen OpenAI do some pretty impressive image recognition tasks (multimodal LLMs). Have you tried uploading some images of successful injection castings and some of unsuccessful injection castings (they don't even have to be of the same mold), telling it "These are examples of success" "these are examples of failures, e.g. flashing, blemish, scratch, etc" and feeding it picture(s) of the casted object?

It'd be interesting to hear how effective that is.
That's Visa's normal service. Considering that exceptional is silly.
> Edit: I should add that lots of states and some cities have their own minimum wage laws but they are all structured the same. There is a minimum wage like $10/hour but if an employee is tipped the employer can claim a “tip credit” of like $6 and pay the employee only $4

This is not true in California, at least. Restaurant workers are paid at least minimum wage (which is $16 or higher depending on locality) and then tips on top. "Tip credit" is not allowed

It has happened with OpenJDK, first downstream with the IcedTea distribution, and then gradually things were replaced upstream or opened by Oracle. I think today, only the browser plugin is missing, and nobody really wants that anymore.

It's rare that this happens in the open like this. I expect that it was a factor that OpenJDK was a free software development tool, so Sun already had transferrable licenses from their suppliers. For other types of software, building new software with it is not a consideration from the outset, and licensing agreements with third-party component suppliers will reflect that.
>> because the person taking my order is often also preparing it

This was intentionally designed like this to encourage customers to tip (by making you feel like you have a waiter)
It is because they are literally just doing what they are paid for. I would love if ever time i hit my sprint goals i got tipped by my employer or better yet what is actually happening is they should tip me at the start of the sprint in order to be in my good favor so i don’t bomb the sprint.

This is the world we live in. Where everyone now feels like they have to give someone extra money just because they showed up to work. Better yet is shitty waiters who have a built in 20% tip. The entire thing pisses me off.

I use to enjoy going to restaurants and would tip easily over 20% because i would get awesome service. Now you are paying that in hopes they don’t spit in your food next time you show up.

I stopped going out to eat because the entire industry is full of assholes now who think they deserve your money. I still follow a lot of people who work in the industry on social media from 5 years ago when i would frequent a lot of nice restaurants. The kind of shit they post is just completely toxic “why are you even coming out to eat if you don’t tip over 20% type crap”.

I mean, wages have been increasing. Legislated wages are a vanishingly small portion of earned wages, except in the states with the highest minimum wages relative to market rates (and then usually only in the least-developed areas in those states, which is also where those legislated wages are likely to cause unemployment).
Huh. I didn't realize there was an actual historical connection been at least some GNOME apps and Apple.

I have; I worked in an ice cream stand at a dairy farm. And you're correct, because of the tips we made much more than we would have even if we had had a higher wage.

But to the point of the person you replied to, on the busy days, there would be two of us working. We were free to split labor however we liked. We made far more tips when it was my attractive, female, coworker taking orders and interacting with the customers, and me scooping, than the other way around. People absolutely do tip differently based on their biases regarding the worker they are interacting with.
I work with Indian developers. They are usually less motivated and laidback compared to Americans. The famous Indian polychronic time culture is real. Bad developers regardless of geographic location can create garbage and the more motivated they are the more garbage they generate. So, good developers is best, followed by unmotivated bad developers under the supervision of good developers.
That's the thing, I work full time so that my business is default alive - I see myself doing this in 10 years.

There is nothing unreasonable about the demand that continue to make software that they sold installable by the owners. That's completely reasonable. It's actually far more unreaonable to sell someone a product and the next day make it unable to be reinstalled. That's unreasonable. I would even hope that would be illegal; it's too bad it's probably not.
I don't think this is necessarily true for some larger companies. Sometimes, entire divisions are axed. It's more trouble than its worth (to the higher ups) to pick out the few good ones when the company is in turmoil. In startups, I agree, it's never "nothing to do with performance."

> Do you see what I mean? Technology doesn't change the relative costs, which matter, even if it changes the absolute costs, which don't.

I get what you're saying, and I somewhat agree. But I think it does leave out the desire some consumers have to purchase domestic. For example, I might be willing to buy a domestically made vehicle if the price is under $25K even if it's more than a similar vehicle made overseas. But if the price is over that, I'm going with the cheaper import.
Just a fixed multiplier (say, 0.5) that makes you use half of the range. As I said I'm just speculating. But Sonnet 3.5's temperature definitely feels like it doesn't affect much. The model is overfit and that could be the cause.

People should stop calling that set "imaginary numbers". It's net bad. That set isn't really worth it to be called anything. Maybe "pure imaginary numbers". Also "imaginary numbers" is used for the complex numbers already.

Rule of thumb, there's _nothing_ in US law where you can say "things vary by state, but they're all the same in way X".

In this case, California has no concept of tip credits. All employees, regardless of whether they receive tips, must be paid at least minimum wage (Currently 16 $/hr)

I know this is a naive question, but I don't know why it's so difficult to start a union in the age of online communities. For instance there are dedicated forums and subreddits for e.g. Uber eats and Amazon delivery and Walmart and all the grueling, exploitative jobs. They all have a common thread and viewpoint, why isn't it trivial for them to organize online, pick a date, and one day all "come out" formally as union employees?
Having worked as a server for years I can say your second paragraph is definitely not true, or at least it wasn't for me.

Rich people had a higher than expected number of cheapskates, but on net definitely tipped more.
I find "I believe in science" as delivered on social platforms and the mainstream media hysterical in the past few years. I mean, how do we even know if "science" is right without questioning? I can understand that people believe that they are on the right side of the history during the Covid era, for lockdowns, for the efficacy of the vaccines (For those who get angry, I took vaccines by the way, so it's not about my personal assessment here) and etc. But is it by default we are on the right side? Like Government "helped" people believe that Lysenkoism was on the right side of the history? Like people should not challenge social Darwinism or eugenics? Like Chinese people believed that the yield of rice patty could be 100x higher because a top JPL scientist said so and the government "helped" them understand? Like authorities challenged Darwin for his evolution theory? Like people would rather lock up Galileo because his heliocentric model was just plainly wrong? Like Ignaz Semmelweis was obvious crazy to propose the hand hygiene in hospitals? Like Wegener's continental drift was just batshit crazy theory? Like Bolzmann deserved to be shunned from the academic society for his outrageous statistical mechanics? Like those who believed in the existence of irrationals should be drowned by Pythagorean?

Since when science can't be challenged, even when the challenge can be outrageously wrong?
Last time I was a waiter (more than a decade ago now) at a mid-range restaurant, on dinner shifts we were all making $15/hr on a slow night and sometimes over $50/hr. There's no world in which we'd have been making more without tips, and we wouldn't welcome it.
Writing a working program of any kind requires those in some capacity. You can do it poorly and minimally, but you can't escape it entirely. Indeed, a highly proficient developer will do those things well.
The benefit of filters is that they don’t share the namespace with the template context and I would argue are more readable.
80% seems far too optimistic. From what I know of projects and development I would think upwards of 90% of all software projects are never shipped. Maybe 95%. Even higher would not surprise me. Maybe this is considered pre-crash or pre-burn by them.

Maybe "80% of projects that get publicly acknowledged and are expected to be successful" crash and burn. It must be so much higher.
