I don't go to church. My family has worked hard for generations to separate themselves from exploitative churches.

But now, at the end of this process, I am able to see better the cost of this separation. I don't regret it, and I am glad it was done, but it's clear that neither in nor out of a church is the 21st century adult made whole.

Somewhere there has to be a happy medium.

You're misunderstanding hx-swap-oob. Each element with that attribute will go and replace the element with the matching ID, keeping them all in sync with one response from the server.
it can be persisted locally and synced to other devices via p2p. It should be doable, similar to screen sharing in etherpad but i have not yet hashed out a complete solution.
Are you willing to share what you are using for data sources? Particularly the renter, net worth, etc aspects as that is not in the publicly available data out there.

At least read the first chapter. I've never read anything like it (and I've read a lot). It was an experience more than anything. It became abundantly clear to me that I was reading something could only have been written by a true genius. No other author has a command of the modern English language like DFW did. The way he combines humor, wit, and wordplay was magic. It really showed me the power of writing.
Do you know if they continuously over order or it's rare? Any links to this type of information would be appreciated.
These threads often end up, with everyone trying to prove they are literary scholars.

I prefer junky fantasy books. I'm really too old and cynical to give a damn what y'all think of me.

I probably liked David Edding's Belgariad series, along with the Mallorean series, the most. I reread them, regularly, and go through all ten books, in a couple of weeks. They are an easy read.

Also, Glen Cook's Black Company books are awesome. It's a toss-up, between them. Eleven books, in that series. His Garret PI series are fun, but really kind of "filler."
My strategy is that if they reply “Atlas Shrugged”, I reply “Really? Nice to meet you! By chance my name is Atlas!”, then shrug and walk away.

Not spectacularly expensive when installed as the house is built. It's another run of pvc pipe in the walls before you close them up. Approx a day of labor and some pipe are the added expense - not much in terms of house building cost at all. Hardwood floors are much more expensive - and still need to be swept or vacuumed.

I came back to find that what I had to say had already been put eloquently here, particularly those last two lines.

Withholding information is disrespectful, and is just as damaging to your customers' ability to make alternative choices that would benefit them as providing bad estimates.

The author's chosen example is quite cherrypicked. I can not imagine any scenario for public transit breakdown in which the actual delay would be "5 minutes." In fact, this is so short that there's no reason to even bother with that update if that were true. It's true that promising this completely unrealistic window was detrimental - but that's because it was such a poor estimate.

It's not hard to give expected-case (not best-case!) and worst-case estimates that are in the right order of magnitude, and to communicate in a way that these aren't seen as promises. "The next train will be here in 5 minutes" is the worst possible phrasing, presenting an absolute truth, and it's perfectly reasonable that customers and the response team treat it as such. Again, the solution is ~better~ communication, not ~witholding~ communication.

I think money is simply like mass: it has some kind of gravitational force, so people are drawn to it (the more money the stronger the pull), and it attracts itself (money tends to accumulate like a black hole), if left unchecked.

The only way to interfere with it is by using other unrelated forces, like kindness, just like we can move masses around with electromagnetism.
We use sorbet pretty extensively. Overall it's been a net positive, but if you're coming from something like typescript, IMO it's far, far behind in terms of usability.

You can get pretty good value from things like intellisense in your editor, knowing that the constant you're referencing or method you're calling exists etc, but most libraries have no typings in sorbet-typed (beyond `T.untyped`).

The last post on Sorbet's blog was from 2022 https://sorbet.org/blog/, so I'm not sure how actively it's being developed. (compare that to typescript where you have a post every month https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/)
> Hot Take: Cater to the lowest common denominator of customer

I disagree.

You can either cater to the lowest common denominator, or you can cater to professionals that understand what the word estimate means.

If you can't provide an estimate, I'm going to reasonably read that as you not have a good understanding of the issue and are not confident in whatever you are doing. Basically, you are incompetent.

Rather than simply not providing estimates, be honest.

1. Provide estimates when you can make them.
2. Provide updates at regular intervals even if nothing has changed.
3. Communicate clearly so people waiting can take appropriate action.

An estimate of 2-3 hours is different from an estimate of tomorrow. The number of times power has gone out, knowing this made a big difference. Even when the estimate wasn't accurate, it helped make things more comfortable. And I appreciated every time having that estimate.

A friend of mine works for a very large company and he was telling me about an AI startup they bought for (he thinks) in the ballpark of 8 digits. After they were on boarded he was able to dig into what it was. It's literally a GPT backend with system prompts and RAG. If you have a good sales team you can print money for doing almost nothing right now.
Lots of great features for new rails apps, but what about the app was has been upgraded since rails 4?

Are people actually going to spend time to replace redis or devise?

I wish they’d add new features instead of trying to get people off successful 3rd party gems.
I think your biographical testimony more confirms than refutes my suspicions.

You think "smart" implies a low chance of world-epochal AI breakthroughs that would ruin your "slow-and-steady path to retirement". You think OpenAI has "no moat". You think it's wise to satisfice – taking a "decent" paycheck – rather than shoot-for-the-moon (and beyond it, control of the 'lightcone').

That's closer to the "short-term exit" mindset – get a good-enough payout, in mundane dollars, while you can – that you're alleging in Altman than what I'm seeing in his statements & behaviors. Yes, someone with your beliefs would in fact be trying to pump OpenAI's short-term hype for a timely exit and an even-more-cushy retirement.

But Altman's already a billionaire with any creature comfort he'd want, for the rest of his life, plus at least one "doomsday bunker" (per a 2016 'New Yorker' profile).

For at least 10 years, he's been consistently expressing a desire to advance, and control, breakthroughs in AI, AGI, and ASI that could – in a true believers' worldview – wipe away as obsolete all his prior billions – as well as the "slow-and-steady path[s] to retirement" pursued by others.

He knows as an insider and contributor OpenAI's actual lead over others – who have tended to approximately-reach OpenAI's capabilities a year or more later.

That you rate as OpenAI's "big news this week" their "Artifacts" end-user feature, rather than everything else announced & rolled out, plus OpenAI's gigantic leads in funds raised and revenue run-rate, suggests a particular world-view.

I would suggest that you are over-focused on the kind of small-stakes products/markets/ambitions that are highly-legible to a "software engineer comfortably drawing a decent-but-not-FAANG paycheck at an established company" – but such considerations are barely afterthoughts in the game of power & legacy that Altman is now playing.

Article from mcgill.ca brings you clickbait - read this article and be outraged! Science journalism.

Makes three major claims:

- AG1 is a very popular supplement powder used to make a one-a-day smoothie filled with 75 ingredients [True]

- The vitamins and minerals it contains are based on the idea that the average person doesn’t get enough of these nutrients through their diet, which contradicts scientific evidence [Maybe True, but claimed without evidence]

- AG1 also contains a digestive enzyme, adaptogens, and probiotics, despite the fact that there is no robust evidence that they offer benefits to humans [Proveably false, there is plenty of evidence for the benefits of these ingredients]

Famously the institution selling you this scary headline is the same one that brought you the CIA's MK Ultra experiments on unsuspecting suspects and never apologized and fought the victims for years.
I think enough people will die that we cannot sustain civialization. It takes a lot of people to get oil from a well to the pump and too many of them will be dead. You can keep things going in degraded form but eventually you can't make replacement parts for the refinery to a level of quality that allows for current output and so you lose trucks and tractors. Steel refineries need some weird subblies that you won't be able to source well enough.

There are many different things that we need that nobody thinks of and all those are disrupted with loss of important people at once.
I am also looking for any diet tips, any advice ?
It's impossible to say. If we knew that now, then the next generation wouldn't be doing "something different" on a definitional level, because we'd be doing it already.

I'm sure you didn't intend it, but responding to the GP in a cross-examining way ("don't you have friends?", "I would think your top priority") comes across as personally aggressive. That's not how we want people to be treating one another here, especially on the such a painful and intimate topic. Whatever the person who is living such a situation may need, obvious internet criticisms are not it, so comments like this don't help, only hurt.

> an unscripted voice comes over the speakers, informing us that the next available train will be here in five minute... 10 minutes later... Our train slithers its way into Bedford station

The author seems to be missing an (unwritten?) rule of train time estimates.

They are never about when a train is actually expected to arrive. They are always about the minimum possible time until the next train.

They are basically just taking the distance to the next train, and calculating how long it will take to arrive if it goes at normal speed.

The point is not to determine whether you'll get somewhere on time. Trains go slow for all sorts of reasons. Trains provide no guarantees.

The point is to look at your phone and think, if it takes me 4 minutes to get to the station and the train is 6 minutes away, am I guaranteed to make the train? In which case, the answer is yes, because the train will never come earlier than advertisted. You won't miss it. And if the next train isn't for 26 minutes (minimum), then how can I efficiently use that time and not waste time getting to the station early?

This concept is rarely clearly communicated, but it's good to be aware of it.
Many, but one of my personal, is Catch 22.

The complexity of the structure, the humor, and the painful exhibition of human stupidity makes it a book for the ages.
I'll go further and say that audiobook production is not cost constrained unless the marketable value of the work is extremely low. What we get is cheap audiobooks for which there is no / low demand, and what it costs us is the decimation of the limited audiobook economy. That's happening at the same time as a billion new / fully generated works hit the market and overwhelm our ability to curate the supply and provide meaningful discovery. Again, more spam. Then AI spam to promote these valueless works. Awesome.
I have used both with rails. (Cable is still going through Redis tho).

Solid cache is perfect for my use case since page caches doesn't change as often, so taking a smaller memory footprint on the server farm is a win.

My take is to measure your cache hit percentage. This will allow anyone to understand their cache eviction rates. If you have high eviction rates maybe using a btree is not the way to go and redis is probably better
Drives me nuts. The internet is dead.

I just bought a home and I have been googling the best way to tackle certain home improvement projects - like how to prepare trim for painting. Virtually every result is some kind of content farm of AI-generated bullshit with advertising between every paragraph, an autoplay video (completely unrelated) that scrolls with the page, a modal popup asking me to accept cookies, a second rapid-fire modal popup asking me to join the newsletter to "become a friend"

For better or worse, Reddit is really the only place to go find legitimate information anymore.

As a backend Go developer who had used Rails a lot many years ago, I recently had to do a full-stack project where I got to pick my own stack. I liked the idea of HTMX and also added a-h/templ into the mix. I feel like this setup allows me to be almost as productive as with Rails when doing things that Rails is good at, while enjoying the control and simplicity of the Go approach.
not so far down the line. Deepfakes have obvious harms and Sora/similar is obviously going to get abused (as well as used).
I don't think it fits exactly your requirements (for the GUI part), but the closest thing I know is the .phar files, for PHp ARchive. This basically bundles a whole project into a single file. It is used by composer also as written by BrianHenryIE. You can download the .phar file, drop it into your computer and run it with the command :

It sounds a bit unfair to use content from a site without crediting the source in an obvious way. I'm sure this shameless content hijacking can't continue as in the end there will not be any source to query.

> I think there can be some overlap between rake tasks and one-off scripts and opinions may vary. In the related discussion Okura Masafumi mentions that rake tasks are one way but they can be executed multiple times, and I tend to agree, leaving rake tasks for code that is intended to be run multiple times.

> So script/ can hold one-off scripts, for example Basecamp uses script/migrate which I am guessing they use for updating data, and we had a similar folder at my previous company.

> But script/ is not only for one-off scripts, it can hold more general scripts too, for example rails generate benchmark already generates benchmarks in script/benchmarks, and at my previous company we had script/ops which had a bunch of shell scripts and ruby scripts for various ops-related things.

So really not so clear description. It caters to those who feel like they have a script that doesn't really fit in the Rake file.

> We're going to need a certification for human generated content at some point.

People keep saying this and I keep warning them to be careful what they wish for. The most likely outcome is that "certification of human generated content" arrives in the form of remote attestation where you can't get on the internet unless you're on a device with a cryptographically sealed boot chain that prevents any untrusted code from running and also has your camera on to make sure you're a human. It won't be required by law, but no real websites will let you sign in without it, and any sites that don't use it will be overrun with junk.

I hate this future but it's looking increasingly inevitable.
Oh man, this one hits close to home! I for one am deadset on setting foot on Luna one day, so I need this to work.

YC gave Palantir a massive platform at startup school to present the company and vision and recruit talent. Far more than the seed investment would have been worth.

With respect to the ares industries, YC buys into the neocon view strongly enough that it wants to help create the next wave of military tech. The only reason anyone perceives these "threats" and perceives the US to be "woefully unprepared" because of the marketing budget the defense industry has after profiting handsomely from the Iraq wars, etc.
