I imagine that the logistics of moving a bunch of stupidly large items is also part of the markup.

Sure, I can buy a mattress from a factory in China, but getting it to my door is a whole other thing.

Last time I bought a mattress, admittedly, an overpriced one. I got to test out a sample at the store, and then a truck with two guys showed up, put on special booties to keep my house clean, carted away the old mattress, placed the new one, etc. I even took advantage of their 90 day guarantee to swap to a slightly less firm mattress, and the whole process was repeated for no cost.

Hiring a truck and two men to deliver a large item, and then haul another large item to the dump, and then pay the dump fee for a mattress (a lot more than standard dump fees), is something that would cost a few hundred dollars otherwise.

I'm sure that they made a profit off of me, but I have my doubts that there are riches to be made in the mattress industry given that there seems to be VERY low barriers to entry.

Around here, the problem isn't the people going faster than the speed limit. The problem is the driver who absolutely must go 10, 15 or 20mph than the other cars. The weaving and dodging is so dangerous. It's one thing to risk your own life. These people are risking everyone else's by zipping around them.

I really dig this, I was even thinking it'd be possible to have some "smart suggestions" that could let people focus more on the logic/pattern of the overall problem they're trying to solve instead of having to assemble every single SQL command individually.

i.e. maybe there could be a searchable list of common sql solutions and then somehow adjust that to suit the actual problem (hopefully without ending up a cluttered mess of sql)
My quibble was about geometrics vs exponential, but beyond the mathematical distinction of discreteness, they are equivalent, so I stand corrected on that front.

What on earth are you talking about? One of these things is a waste of finite resources, and the other is a "waste" of money, which is a value-storage concept, and it is a concept indeed since the vast, vast, vast majority of money doesn't actually exist beyond a number in a balance sheet.

Yes, it would've costed Ford more to comply with the regulations by the letter and by the spirit of what was being asked of them. This should be the BARE MINIMUM we expect from members of the business community. I'm so sick of corporate apologia where some dick-headed corporation finds loopholes and ways to re-categorize things as what they definitely, categorically are not and this is not only often not criticized, but is celebrated by people! The only way this is a good thing is if you take from first principles that it's Ford's duty as an organization to duck the LAW, the result of the process of consented governance, and the flaunting of the authorities entrusted to carry out that governance, at every conceivable place to keep every last red cent they can, irrespective of the larger harmful effects it has on our world and society. If that's truly the case, then I submit that our society is not in fact for people, it is in fact, for corporations and the people just happen to live in it.

Whether you agree with a law or a regulation or not, you are bound to respect it. If you disagree about a speed limit set on a highway, do 150 through it, and get a ticket and show up to traffic court and argue that the limit should be higher, you will pay your ticket because your opinion is irrelevant to that law. You're more than free (and I would encourage) you to advocate for changing those laws/regulations, to weigh in when public opinion is requested, to vote for politicians who support what you want to see your government do, all of that is completely, 100% above board. But once all those processes are done and the laws are written, you can't simply fucking ignore them because you don't think they're the right laws. That's anarchy, and not the fun kind.
People saying this tech is just for speeding are wrong. I have a high end model that's legal in california (radar detection is legal, although cops will hassle you and say it isn't - any unit with a jammer installed is illegal whether you're using the jamming or not. They don't really seem to know the difference, so beware).

I drive reasonable speeds but have a loud car that will get pulled over for "noise" (it's unmodified and legal) which are usually just fishing expeditions. Since police cruisers in my state usually emit radar signals constantly, the detector basically gives me a heads up when a cop is within ~ 0.5 miles of me, which I find useful whether I am speeding or not. Limiting my interactions with police is a worthy goal, since police can be dangerous and unpredictable and shoot-y.

The last few times I used Skyscanner, I was disappointed because their "database" was outdated. When I clicked on a flight from the search results, it took me to the airline's website, which then showed a higher price. Often, there's no official fare from the airline, and Skyscanner lists prices from third-party providers I don't really trust.

I'm finding Google Flights more reliable these days.

The EU gives Apple six months to make cross-device interoperability easier
Its strange to see so much moralizing in this thread about a device which only receives signals and can't harm another being unless maybe thrown hard enough.

Most speed limits are artificially low to the point where slavish adherence makes them the safety issue, rather than everyone else breaking the law.
> Which is just as weird to me as complaining about std::string, well why call it a string? it is obviously text!

It's really not, though. String is a common technical term used in programming languages for many decades. If a new language decided to call them "textrons", _that_ would be weird. And this is the exact thing Nix did with "derivations", "flakes", etc. There is no precedent for these terms in other software, so they're unfamiliar even to its core audience.

It would be different if Nix invented an entirely new branch of technology that didn't have any known precedent. But for a reproducible build system that uses a declarative language? C'mon.
I saw a tweet the other day that said that solar and batteries are growing so cheap that the combination will shortly be a good way to supply night-time power. I wouldn't have dreamed of it a few years ago.
I wrote about my worst on-call experience here [0]. Back in Feb of this year, I had a unique customer workload take down my SaaS in the middle of the night, 2 nights in a row. It took a long time to find the root cause, but it ended up being an inefficient uniqueness lib I was using for background jobs. This particular customer's workload was queuing up millions of background jobs in Redis at a certain time every day, but each time a job was queued, the entire job set was iterated (synchronously) to assert uniqueness. Obviously, this didn't scale.

I'd rank these 2 nights as the most stressful times of my career. I wrestled with sleeplessness, hopelessness, imposter syndrome, etc.

Valorization of Fruit and Vegetable Wastes Using a Fixed Biofilm Reactor
Many people saying programming won't exist as a profession within a year or two which is what makes me wonder if I should pivot.
Reprocessing is still an option in the future. But it generates a lot of waste streams and as you indicate is more expensive than just fabricating a new rod. Plus our nuclear fleet is in decline and we could see a wave of decommissioned plants in the next decade (if we don't pivot our national energy policy) so our usage of fuel will decline in turn.
It doesn't seem reasonable to expect a developer to learn a new programming language? Staying on top of constantly changing tools is part of the job.
this is not what I wanted to hear. NOT AT ALL. Please whisper sweet lies into my ears.
I wonder if being a more powerful backing data store for Excel is one of the remaining reasonable uses for Microsoft Access, at least for users of the Windows desktop version of Office? Access is still included in many editions of that (although not on Mac or web or mobile). Officially it’s even still supported and not deprecated, although of course it’s very much not emphasized by MS any more.

Other options might be SQL Server Express or SQL Server Express LocalDB, the latter of which seems conceptually very much like SQLite within the MS ecosystem, and both of which are usable for production purposes at no cost within the technical limitations that differentiate them from paid editions.

Not to mention this nuclear reactor was only shut down in 2019. They're upgrading and recommissioning something that was mothballed because the economics didn't work, all of five years ago.

People reacting to the name are imagining that this means re-opening the other unit, which melted down in 1979. It's more fun to imagine and react to that than to learn that this was an operational plant until a few years ago.
>The fact that its less opinionated about logging

It's simple and straightforward to use any other logging or network configuration system you wish.

>doesnt ever force any reload of itself are all reasonable reasons to prefer it.

It doesn't force reload it self.

>You don’t lose socket activation or supervison.

You don't lose that in systemd either.

>SMF is designed to help work in the event of hardware failure too

So is systemd.

>which systemd definitely cant handle.

It definitely can handle that. One of systemd's core functions is handling hardware events.
Have you considered selling access on RapidAPI? How does your scraper compare to the ones offered on RapidAPI?
Relying on aliases is the worse solution in my opinion. If it is protecting you too much, you will forget the risk and once for some reason you end up on a shell with a different profile you will forget about it and run a risky command.
I totally agree. This "excellence" ideology preaches unvirtuous self-sacrifice. Putting extra time and effort means that the employee is sacrificing himself to improve a result which will not benefit him but only a select few.

I argue that in many cases owners and managers, those who are posed to benefit from this ideology, are the ones which poison the mindset by punishing proactivity and being arrogant. There's also D employees, those that are unable to create value by the conditions set forth, they recognize the pointleness of their job and actively do the minimum and create excuses just to not get fired.

The problem you’re ignoring is that there are many places around the country where speed limits are set unreasonably low with the intention of collecting revenue. Until we seperate speed enforcement from revenue collection, then speed limits won’t be about the science and engineering or what is safest for the road, but what is collects the most revenue.

I’ve witnessed firsthand a major roadway whose speed limit was lowered from 65 to 55 arbitrarily, along with a jump in enforcement. The road is definitely less safe in fact, since I’ve noticed people on their phones more as the lower speed gives people more confidence. The people who speed dangerously and no speed limit will stop, now drive more aggressive around cars with greater differentials in speed. One time I drove behind a women who I could clearly see had her phone propped up on her steering wheel. She and others driving irrationally or dangerously but at or below the speed limit drive right by the police.

At one point when I was stopped for going 60 and given a warning, I asked how come they don’t stop people driving dangerous or on their phones. He’s response was the “laws didn’t let him”. I’m assuming he really meant they can’t reliably collect fines for it since they can’t prove it in court with a radar detector.

> Personally, I sure don't want the stupidest and cockiest people deciding what's safe for 'themselves', and applying it counter to the expectations of imminent victims. When we normalize speeding, that's what we get.

The safest is supposed to be 85% percentile of speed on a given roadway. Many places have this specified in the books at a state level, however, after doing some research on that years ago, that’s almost never followed locally.

For me a great example is Reed college. Smartest person I ever met, went there. Had a 4.0 GPA. This is an onery school with regards to the bell curve, C average, so a 4.0+ GPA at Reed is a huge deal. Anyway, Reed simply tells US News to fuck off. Thus they are ranked lowly but much higher in reality. Similar to that weirdo Cali desert school with like 8 students that's student run - very smart people, very poorly known to the public. Anyway, Reed is otherwise notable for having a nucular reactor and its hyperliberal political spirit, for example, instead of man and woman bafrooms they have cisgender and transgender bafrooms.

It's hard to look at a situation from the outside, and I genuinely have no clue about the real situation in the Python community. All I know from those blog posts is that this guy has been bitterly claiming that he is going to leave the Python community for six years straight.

If he doesn't like it so much, he should stop writing about it. I'm sorry, but I went into those blog posts with an open mind, and all I found was a long list of personal complaints with relatively few details about the actual situation.

You're being pedantic. Your statement that "it's spitting bad data" is incorrect too, as it implies agency. Actually, nothing is happening but electrons flowing. The notion of an "it" that "spits" "data" which is "bad" is your own conceptual overlay.

Oh dang, that’s pretty awesome, thanks.

“array or tree of arrays” sounds very general, probably even better than an old fashioned 2D array.
sort-of agree .. the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of any real-world data will change.. many comments assume some kind of perfect knowledge, which is never the case. Selling snapshots of current profile understanding is not only better business, but can also evolves with the enterprise over years; meanwhile selling raw user profiles as a whole is more like "damaged goods at a discount" for quick profit maximizers. This said, "surveillance capitalism" is rife and inherently a step backwards from a democratic society IMHO due to information asymmetry, secrecy and income generation.
Superior in performance and easy-of-use, which for most people is all that matters. Atom still won in general "hackability", which was one of its main selling points.

There is no reason anyone smart enough to work in the kernel could not learn Rust, C++, zig, Java, Scheme, or whatever language you can dream of. However the above list is far longer than anyone has time to learn and so the kernel should limit the languages allowed just so that the list of what you need to know is reasonable. (I haven't looked at linux code in 20 years, but back then you needed to know C, sh, and make - you probably forgot that make is a language but it is/was critical) It is reasonable to say that all kernel programmers need to know rust from this day on. It would not be reasonable to say any language is allowed. It would be reasonable in 30 years to discover there is almost no C left and so rewrite the rest and ban C (I won't bet money on that happening but it is reasonable)
> It is

Emotional developers rarely rise to such power, because it is not. None of the bluster matters today, much less after he's gone.
Not at all? Someone has to manufacture the parts and materials and surely they could be in the same country. Having to buy those things from another country, especially now that the UK is out of the EU is surely a more complicated thing than buying them in the country. So surely there must be some connection.
Regardless of EV/ICE, the amount of pollution from tires is directly influenced by how much traction is being utilized. Excessive acceleration, deceleration, hard cornering, weight, etc. all lead to excessive tire wear and EVs tend to have elevated figures in all these categories (except cornering I suppose). Instant torque is fun (so unnecessary acceleration is common), braking is regenerative (so minimizing braking isn't as critical to range), and batteries weigh a lot. Therefore, tires shed more quickly.

As for pollution from burning fuel, yes EVs are much better, but there's still some fuel involved upstream in many cases, and the drag from high speed results in less range which means more fuel for a given distance.
So, think in systems; humans are building a machine (the entire supply chain for solar and batteries) that builds a machine (the global energy grid). By the end of this year, the world will be deploying ~660GW of solar capacity per year. Within 18 months, trajectories of manufacturing capacity bring that to 1TW per year. It is unlikely that number goes anywhere but up.

Now on to batteries. Again, let us assume this is a manufacturing floor, and battery manufacturing continues to scale up globally.

> BNEF is tracking 7.9 TWh of annual battery manufacturing capacity announced for the end of 2025. That’s compared to demand projections of 1.6 TWh, and even that assumes steady EV demand growth and very rapid growth in batteries for storage applications. Even half that total announced capacity would be enough to equip almost every car sold in the world next year with a 50 kWh battery pack. [My note: Global light vehicle auto sales are ~90M units per year]

We are, trying to be as rational and with as little hyperbole as possible, at the hockey stick inflection point looking almost straight up.
