I'm also a little sad at this defeatist attitude. What you said might be true, but those things are solvable problems. Just requires a coordinated force of will from a few dedicated individuals.
In the pre-LSP era, I worked as a novice Scala developer, and I didn most of my Scala work in Emacs with ENSIME. It was pretty good. I imagine the language server is pretty usable by now.
It tells me it needs to be refounded. Everyone complicit with this should be removed and punished exemplarily (NY might need to build a couple extra jails for all those people).
A very important part is that Steam requires that all accounts in a family have the same country in their account (the one used for store restrictions and for payments), AND (!) be from the "same household". For the latter they seem to be actually checking login history to see, I don't know how granular that check is (city/state), but it's still very interesting. So even if two people have the same country set in their Steam account, it doesn't mean they can make a Steam family.
So stability and ability to complete assigned tasks are not relevant characteristics for an employee?

The major advantage of Build123D for your use case -- sending it to someone else to fabricate it -- is STEP output support.

This really expands your options for what you can make and who you can ask to make it. There are now some online fabrication places that will do CNC from mesh formats, but really the only way to have proper control is sending them a STEP file.
You think anyone other than the idf could train someone to fart in a subway for eight hours a day while contributing nothing to society
+++ for build123d. Just finished TTT tutorial models and it was quite fun. There are some issues with non-regular fillets and 3d offsets but they are minor comparing to FreeCad crashes. Build123d algebra mode is fantastic, especially after your find out how to compose faces from custom line chains. Documentation is good, though many tricks how to get non-trivial tangent points could be found only in examples.
Thats cool. I've used it. I'd add:

- treat '-' as stdout

- named arguments

- dont filter ignorefiles by checking they start with '.', cause it makes local .gitignore not being found, and treated as an extension :)
That would require every single game/anticheat to implement a "closely monitored" feature, and also still effectively halves the price of the game for cheaters.

Additionally, this only benefits people who share their game with cheaters - just don't do that. If you can't trust someone won't cheat with your copy of the game, they probably aren't a close family member.
Every dynamically typed language effectively has one big Sum type that holds all of the other types. IMO this is one reason why dynamic languages have been so popular (because Sum types are incredibly useful, and mainstream statically typed languages have historically had very poor support for them).
My understanding for the NYPD is that the base average is roughly $90k but most of them are killing it on overtime.
Well, I'm sure this does too. It wouldn't last very long if someone murdered someone and got out of it because they had a plastic card that said they were a friend of an officer. At some point even NYC would intervene.

I was thinking the exact same thing! Lucky I searched the page for Ratatouille before commenting.

Ratatouille is one of my all time favorite movies, but if you read it as a metaphor for director Brad Bird's own career, it's hard not to feel like it lets Walt Disney off the hook. Often in real life, the creative genius who founded the enterprise and the sycophant who has taken over it in his absence are both assholes. Though Ratatouille does touch on this by making Gusteau an idealized figment of Remy's imagination, who is shocked when he hears that the real man had a child via an affair.

The difficulty with experimenting is that most powerful attacks in games like this tend to have some sort of limit associated with it.

Players won't for example feel the need to use this super powerful item they found and see how well it works because they only have one copy of that item.

The best way to avoid this is to give players access to low/zero opportunity cost versions of strong items so they can get a good "feel" of when to use stronger things in their arsenal. Players need to be able to safely experiment with their kit but that experimentation also has to happen in an environment where it can be meaningfully tested.

(You can see this with the dark souls formula on both ends; because death and healing are both low cost resources to manage, players are more incentivized to experiment, since the cost for a "dud" attempt at a tough boss fight/figuring out a weapon is much lower. Meanwhile rarer items like summoning allies have a much greater cost attached to them, meaning players don't feel driven to use them since if they die, they now lost a rare and valuable resource they could've used elsewhere.)

From what I understand, historically nothing ever came of these different interpretations of QM. I subscribe to the Feynman motto of "shut up and calculate", with the modern modification of ".. or simulate".
Sounds a lot like the C++ experience.

In my time learning Haskell a decade ago, it was rare to find some code that wasn't using an experimental extension.
If we could wave a magic wand and remove Haskell's influence on Rust, Rust would still exist in some kind of partial form. If we waved the same wand and removed OCaml's influence, Rust would no longer exist at all.

You are the one who is wrong, I'm afraid.
A formula or equation that enables you to reason about complex systems might simply not exists. It could very well be that to reason about complexity forces you to actually do the complexity.

The reason he killed the cop wasn't that he didn't want to leave any trace (though he killed other people over that previously) it's that the car was stolen from someone he had murdered and he knew that that would show up when the cop ran the plates.

Companies and high net worth individuals will never stop avoiding taxes, and it’s naive to assume otherwise. If anything, tax laws need to account for this reality more aggressively.

I can't use touchscreens while driving because I keep missing a lot. I'd have to look at the screen for too long. That's why I prefer low priced or older models. I'm puzzled why touchscreens are even allowed.
Yep,this sounds like something that will be judged to be illegal once the right people see it.
Also it depends on the team culture. I had a manager who used to slack me and passive aggressively taunt me about the number of comments on my PR without even bothering to look at what they are. He used to assume that all of it is because of some bad code. Because of this behavior overtime the team would secretly ask each other to reach out over slack instead of adding comments in the PR, beating the whole purpose of code reviews.

Oh, yes, a typo. I meant RRAM
Sota LLMs like GPT-4o can natively understand b64 encoded text. Now we have algorithms that can decode and encode b64 text. Is that what GPT-4o is doing ? Did training learn that algorithm ? Clearly not or at least not completely because typos in b64 that would destroy any chance of extracting meaning in the original text for our algorithms are barely an inconvenience for 4o.

So how is it decoding b64 then ? We have no idea.

We don't built Neural Networks. Not really. We build architectures and then train them. Whatever they learn is outside the scope of human action beyond supplying the training data.

What they learn is largely unknown beyond trivial toy examples.

We know connections form, we can see the weights, we can even see the matrices multiplying. We don't know what any of those calculations are doing. We don't know what they mean.

Would an alien understand C Code just because he could see it executing ?
It’s clear they’d be fine without that; they could probably have Texas ready for manned launches fairly quick.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to drive actual golf carts than to pay to convert?
Exactly. This whole scheme won't work in EU because it's against car manufacturer's interest. The whole of eastern Europe is flooded by second hand German cars and the reason is twofold. First, the western Europe still can afford to change cars every few years, and secondly, the purchase power IMO of the eastern Europe is falling behind so second hand cars look more affordable then buying a new one.

If I were to install an electric motor in my car there is no chance I'm hell that I would be able to make it road legal. Last year I bought homologated Philips LED bulbs for my car to replace crappy incandescent bulbs and the car failed the inspection.

> Bun is much less popular and more likely to die than Nextjs.

Can't agree. Bun is one of a kind, innovative, tool in many aspects. The package management alone is already leagues above yarn, pnpm and npm. They have other strong fronts such as builtin testing, bundling, and others.

Meanwhile Nextjs has some merits but it is just one of the thousand js web frameworks. There's sveltekit, nuxt, Angular. Next got popular because Vercel keeps pouring their 300 mil USD VC funds into marketing and youtubers.

Next has no big differentiation compared to other frameworks.
Lose access to your number by any category of errors on your part or your carrier's part, and see what happens.

They're not tied to your person with much more permanency than a DHCP IP address. There's no process to verify your identity or recover your number or help you regain your accounts. The actual process for migrating your number is "Sign up with this other brand you've never tried before and tell them to politely ask your former brand to release the number to them".

If I lose my phone to a trash compactor, the process to change anything in my phone carrier account with regard to SIM cards is going to forward things to my Gmail account, which at random times for random reasons is going to begin to demand 2 factor identification for logging in on a new device via texting my phone number.

There are all sorts of crazy scenarios that can arise with double binds like this.

If we had a resilient authoritative identity verification (say, the DMV, or US Passport Office), or if we had a diverse variety of low-trust identity factors that we could check multiple aspects of ("text my mother" / "Here's a bill showing my address" / "here's a video of my phase saying my phone number"), there would be a way out, but all of corporate America heard "2fa is required for security now" and said "So we just text them right?"

That makes your phone not "another thing that people can use to talk to you in circumstances when you're not accessible", which the FCC's portability plan was maybe sufficient for, but a fragile single point of failure for your entire identity.
>What level of data are they getting? If it’s tied to your HR system, does it get anonymized performance reviews?

Pave user here. Absolutely not. It's anonymised comp data. Essentially salaries and job titles only.

Whilst I do agree with your point that data like this should be publicly available, I'm not sure I understand how it gives employers a negotiation advantage?
Thank you John! This repo has a little of everything I love: art, engineering, history, but mostly art. It's truly inspiring.
I'm pretty certain this is an NYPD thing. Other PDs would have something similar too, but I don't think this is a pan-US thing. Of course, in certain places, you wouldn't even need a card, just let yourself be known as a cop's relative or a judge's kid.
Why not? Cheap energy from Russia, that came to an end. Cheap parts from China are not so cheap now because trade war and tariffs. Result: margins shrink, VW makes worse cars at higher price.

Haskell doesn't stop you from mutation, it just makes you explicitly mark it, like types of inputs/output are explicit in statically typed languages instead of being implicit or borrowing is explicit in Rust.

Mutations becomes first class values like numbers or arays, and hence can be primitives for more complex mutations, whose types can be inferred from the types of primitive mutations.

This means that the we have compile time guarantees that certain piece of code wont change anything in certain part of the state - This function wont change anything in that part of the data.

It is no joke, though not strictly true, that Haskell has been called the world's best imperative language.
Extremely common practice.

Out of curiosity, do you see anything obviously soulless with Steam Families?

Is it about the limit of 5 people in a "family"?

I can't seem to find anything fundamentally wrong with this, they seem to be treating the library as if you had physical copies of each game "disc" and one device per family member. Is it artificial? Well, yes, because the games are actually digital, but I suppose they do want you to buy two copies if two people want to play at the same time.

Even extremely complicated decision trees are interpretable to some extent because you can just walk through the tree and answer questions like: "If this had not been true, would the result have been different?". It may not be possible to hold the entire tree in your head at once, but it's certainly possible to investigate the tree as needed to understand the path that was taken through it.

I'd be a little more on-board with the NYPD's cards if you had to get shot in service of the country to possess one.
"..the nine-year veteran of the force.." 11 more years is a long time to spend as a pariah. Then again it took a strong belief in ethics to do what he did, and he had to have chosen to go in this direction with his eyes open. Hopefully he's strong in other ways, because I would imagine it's going to be hard on the streets effectively alone.
I'm not in agreement with the code review example. Both approaches seem fine, although some variable renaming might be helpful; particularly of `f` (what does it do?). I find the `for` example slightly easier to read than the list comprehension. But, to me, it's a stylistic choice.

The corporate communication example is better. The feedback is correct, and it improves the language. Had I written the original, my take-aways from the review would be: it's better as suggested, the reviewer is correct, and I shouldn't do it again. That is the reviewer's (and author's) purpose, it's constructive, and it "lands". If the receiver views this as an "... I hate you and want you to suffer" message without an argument as to why the original text was better, well, they might be in the wrong line of work.
This strategy is not unique to one particular country. Basically, it happens on different scales but repeatedly in the history (like Japan post-war).
