The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan - spent the most time reading it and got the most value from it. This book series is my device for the language learning. It was translated into Russian so painfully slow I've just forced myself to read it in English, learning the vocabulary and grammar on the way. Later I did it intentionally with Dutch, and now I'm going to do the same with Spanish.

It's so big you can reread it as many times as you want and still be surprised by the details you no longer remember. In the end I've read it 2 times in Russian, 3 times in English and 1 time in Dutch - and I'm not going to stop.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell.

Taught me everything I needed to know about being a painter.

Perhaps not the 'best' book ever, but certainly one of the most impactful for me as a common-or-garden 18-year-old realising for the first time that our political and economic systems aren't some sort of almighty edict and could be critiqued.

When the lawsuit started, apps installed like this couldn't be automatically updated without going through the scare screens again manually.
I’m glad to know a new article that “everyone knows”! Thanks for pointing out the age.

Would you pay a nominal amount (like 5 cents or 25 cents) to consume one piece of good, ad-free content, assuming that there was no login, no account, no friction, etc? You click, you read, and 5 cents is magically transferred from you to the writer?

I would. But I've asked a lot of people who say "no, I don't want to pay when I can read it for free. I don't mind the ads that much."
But it is simple :) The underlying technology might be more complex, but the library is solid, it's trivial to update any part of the page once you have the libraries set up, and you don't need to write any javascript. Works for me!

All retailers do that. It's called private labels. None of the products are made by the retailer either. As unfortunate to those who might genuinely believe Trader Joes products are unique to them, or that Great Value was Walmart using its massive distribution systems to quickly scale core products like Milk out. It's all private labelling.

A good analogy, but I think you swapped the meaning of fire and motion in your usage of it.

In this case, her cases even if lost would be the equivalent of cover fire. Businesses need to re-act to the cover fire and cannot advance (perform their own motion) while she is firing.

The second part is that you would hope/expect her to be able to gain territory in the near future via the "motion" part of the strategy.

So I agree in your framing, just from my perspective you flipped the terminology.

Yeah I guess if their filter is literally "will this person stop talking to me if I like Atlas Shrugged" and not actually something like "will this person engage in respectful disagreement with me."

Of course the first test is useless, so I suspect they're trying and failing to produce the second test.

> Some of those splits ended long-term marriages — first or second. Others were shorter-lived unions. The reasons aren’t that older adults have more contentious marriages than younger couples, Brown says. The changes have more to do with society’s evolving tolerance of divorce and women’s evolving status as financially and emotionally independent.
I have managed to build Python with libedit instead of readline, but it was a custom build.

If your assumption is correct, then I'm anxiously waiting for having the default Python executable in Ubuntu, for example, being licensed under a non-copyleft license. Then one would be able to build proprietary-licensed executables via PyInstaller much more easily.
I don’t think they do!

Another part is that Gibson was the first to put together cyberpunk as a genre and an aesthetic and a little dystopian futurism. It was truly the first that spawned a number of now familiar ideas like AIs battling firewall and attack and VR as a UX method.

For reference, I don’t have schizophrenia, and I am avidly outing auditory hallucinations as actual disembodied third parties (see past comments) who are a plague upon humanity. This in addition to schizophrenia being very real for others (I have met schizophrenic persons.)

I have superior athletic motor sensory development (decades of martial arts training).

I will say it is easier to hear the auditory intrusions with background noise. Often the more skilled enjoy blending their sounds with external noises (the hum of a motor, the television in the next room.) These, with practice can manipulate and augment absolutely any perception or conception. There is no human experience (known to me) which these at some skill level cannot manipulate.
Even non-paywalled forums are pretty good compared to the "open" internet.

I like AI, I'm not sure where all this luddite project comes from. I want to catch news that are outside of the AI news because it is just overpowering the current news cycle, just that.

I myself am trying NotebookLM to play with my own studies and create content.

But I wonder what else is perhaps getting less attention because AI is overpowering the news cycle, just like it happens in any tech cycle.
Yeah you gotta go around assuming that anyone might lie to you about their favorite book in order to use your reaction to determine something about your personality. This behavior is normal and good.

Everything from MPAs, to SPAs, to animation heavy websites that could only dream on being tailwind. Progressive enhancement doesn't mean giving up on frontend validation, dynamic functionality, and juice. I'm curious what problems you haven't been able to solve without converting whole applications to JSX.

I'm always surprised to hear that folks really think about egress costs. I think that's true if you're egressing across the internet for things like photos (i.e. if I'm embedding an image stored on S3 in my website), but for most use cases -- you should store your data in the object storage system that's in the same cloud as your compute to avoid those charges and performance penalties.
The problem is - how does Google get paid for providing this service. In a way, the better the service they offer, the less money they make. It really sucks.

Would you pay money to Google or some other company in exchange for a genuinely good search service that prioritizes well written content, and avoids AI (or human) generated crapticles?

I made a direnv extension for that purposes.

Epic's "First Run" program does all the things they got mad at Apple and Google about.

You don't have to pay any license fees for Unreal Engine if you use Epic exclusively for payments. They give you 100% revshare for 6 months if you agree to not ship your game on any other app store.

Let's not kid ourselves, Epic never cared about consumer choice or a fair playing field, they only want the ability to profit without having to invest in building a hardware platform.

If I remember correctly the problem here is that in Googles version of an "open platform", they hide alternative app install behind fifteen menus of settings, restrict functionality (auto updates) and issue scary popups to users. These are deliberate choices that expose them. They also keep having to pull more anti-competitive moves with device manufacturers to keep control of Android.
> A lot of SWE work is objectively make-work:

How did you decide on that?

> A lot of startups are building fluff or things that are net negative to society.

But a few startups aren't fluff or negative to society and those will be the ones which succeed. That's how startups work. This isn't a good reason to decide against an SWE career. It might be a reason not to work at a startup.

> Interviews have become nightmares, even at 'non-tech' companies, making switching very time consuming and difficult.

Job switching is almost always difficult. Easy switching is an artifact of boom times and frequently a bad sign (standards tend to drop). I don't think this is a reason to decide against an SWE career.

> Beyond this, the supply for SWEs vs the demand is clearly imbalanced on the supply side.

Demand is below the recent peak, but whether the supply of really good SWEs ever rose to meet demand is questionable.

> LLMs and Agents are not automating SWE, but they are changing it.

When things are changing that's usually a great time to make a career.
It’s really something you don’t know how this applies to your Postgres DB, until you run into a situation where you do.

The author explains this very well, it’s a good read! I’ve learned about this padding little over a year ago, while I was designing a data intensive application with a colleague. I was skeptical about the advantage at first, but for our specific design, where we have 100 to 480+ columns in one table it makes a huge difference on table store size. Not so much on the indexes, though.

It's probably not a great idea to point at a monopoly, as a defense of one's own monopoly, and claim "Yeah, but he did it worse."

Both Google and Apple's platforms need to be cracked open to competition.
The "top n" subreddits are surely gamified but smaller, highly-focused subreddits seem ok.

There are some great scenes in Rebels of the Neon God [1992] by Tsai Ming-Liang (Taiwanese filmmaker) where the main characters steal the main pcbs from some arcade machines and try to resell them to the arcade owner lol. Wonderful film, recommend it - some great scenes in those arcades.

Good material!

It has to be said, the order of columns in correctly designed multicolumn BTREE indexes is governed by the shape of the queries the indexes support.

So don't arbitarily reorder columns in your indexes to handle alignment.
Youve completely and unsurprisingly missed the point.

It’s irrelevant to Android phones whether Apple made the choice first or how they did it. Android manufacturers are able to be accountable for their own decisions.

it’s even more irrelevant that Android phones had larger screens first, unless people on the Apple side are blaming Android manufacturers for the push to larger screens.
I expect a lot of top technical talent at WP Engine that's aligned with Open Source is thinking the same thing.

I don't usually care about politics at all but is there any concrete evidence supporting either potential future administration being tougher on Apple? The previous president doesn't seem to like Apple very much (and his administration filed DOJ v. Google #1 near the end), but at the same time the current administration's DOJ was responsible for filing the DOJ v. Apple lawsuit.

Yeah the "pure" backend side (DB/queries to it) was not a problem and something I was already comfortable with. I did not use a client JS library for filtering, I was trying to stick to pure HTML response routes as much as possible. In addition to the typeahead search I had some dropdown and radio toggle filters. I wanted these to all be reactive to each other, eg, you shouldn't be able to select the region "North America" if none of the current typeahead results have that as a region. I found this confusing to implement within the HTMX paradigm. I had a lot of HTML partial templates and had trouble mentally modeling how it was all fitting together.

TBF, probably partially a skill issue. But I know that just going back to a "normal" approach where my backend returned a huge payload and then I wrote the filtering/rendering in JS, was sooo much simpler to think about, even if it resulted in more total code.

Yeah, don't use Sippy. It just stopped working after 2 weeks on multiple buckets and support came back with "have you tried turning it off and on again". It's not production ready.

Also R2 is extremely basic compared to S3. For example only trivial permissions are supported and auth tokens are bound to an actual account.
I mean, the review part I support. The revenue part is fucking horseshit.
The only thing wrong with this whole thing is that you think it’s okay to start relationships with a lie. Thats not okay. It demonstrates a lack of integrity.

Your friends deserve better.
As I understand it, part of the problem is that the vast majority of components simply don't exist in rad-hardened versions. The cost of having a hardened part manufactured and qualified is high, and demand is low; only a few manufacturers bother.
Thanks. Interesting. What are some best practices for integrating Rust with Elixir/Phoenix in a project, especially when managing CRUD operations and maintaining system efficiency you learned along your side project?
Right, just like how they've done on desktop environments

I thought AI meant "ML" + marketing.

I joke, but not. I'm a researcher and AI has been a pretty ambiguous term for years, mostly because intelligence is still not well defined. Unfortunately I think it's becoming less well defined in the last few years (while prior to that was getting better defined) via the (Fox) Mulder Effect.

> How much fuel were you using to power your house for a week? I find it hard to believe you can pump more than 100 gallons of fuel in 15 mins.

Well, maybe you should have stopped after the question and we could have cleared up the confusion!

If I run the generator from morning to night with typical loads, I'm usually burning through about 5-6 gallons a day. So a week of fuel is 35-45 gallons.

Because I know "I actually did it" isn't a good answer, went and looked and the typical flow rate for a gas pump is supposed to be 8-10gpm. So... actual time holding the handle down on the pump, worst case, is about five and a half minutes.

> in a continental or global disaster, we’re quickly going to be unable to get our hands on gasoline without the drilling and refineries and distribution

Did you... disagree with that? Or are you just saying things to say things? Is there a big culture of backyard oil refining where you are? There isn't where I am. I didn't think I needed lived experience to say "if the refineries are shut down and the roads are impassible, oil products are going to be pretty hard to come by".
