I did this. Was in a dead end job, left the job, traveled for a year, rented somewhere for 6 months, then out of money, moved in with parents... still here. Job opportunities where my parents live aren't great.

At the time the job was so boring, going nowhere, pretty easy.. I would do anything to go back in time to that role tbh..

I loved every second of traveling, and met some cool people, but none of that helps me find work now.

If you're a shy introvert, and struggle with social situations.. and you currently have a job, I'd advise to keep the job, even if it's not great, and try get something else lined up before leaving.

I have so many mental issues now (low self esteem etc)... therapy would probably help, but now I have no money sooo... I'm stuck in a loop of unemployable, no help due to no money, no money due to no work etc.

I wonder how this kind of post can bother someone enough to downvote it. I think is related with the posted link :shrug:
> the fact that the general population doesn't understand this problem

Rather, the general population either lives in one of the way too many food deserts in the US [1], can't afford good food even if there was a store because they're struggling to make rent, or doesn't have the time and/or energy left at the end of the day to cook a decent fresh meal.

FFS 47 million people in the US are food insecure, >50M used some sort of food assistance program in 2023 [2], and during Covid 30 fucking million children were at risk of hunger as the schools closed down [3].

The general population certainly understands they're eating shit or they're eating not enough, but has no power to change their circumstances.

And from an European POV, y'all's groceries are expensive as fuck and blasted to hell and beyond with all sorts of pesticides and whatnot.

I wonder if a part-time remote job coupled with full time traveling on a budget would have been a more sustainable, enjoyable and productive approach. Hanging with pals in Montreal is cool but it's expensive and not very productive.

What if your job sucks so much energy out of you, it's even hard to imagine to do something on the side?
Employers used to promote internally, train and up-skill their people, and strive to keep them around for longer than the two to five year stint that seems to be the average in tech

Hiring low-level employees requires less vetting. Upskilling for more senior roles within your own company means you get to skip things like cultural fit (because they presumably already are), work history (it's in the employers own records), and references (that would be the coworkers and managers they already have).

Pay enough to keep the ones worth keeping (and increase it with time, to match inflation at minimum), upskill employees, and promote from within, and this problem should pretty well fix itself
What is utility of any other sense? I expect null pointer to happen. It is still a bug. Even if it is in some kind of special situation we dont have time to fix.

> If not all bugs can be fixed it seems better to toss the entire concept of a "bug" out the window as no longer useful for describing the behavior of software.

Then those are bugs you cant fix. It is just lying to yourself to call them not a bug ... if they are bugs.
The 2D model alone maybe be sufficient for OPs needs, but I'd advocate for going at least a little further with some form of 3D model. The wing tip effects are significant enough to warrant some form of "next step" after the initial 2D analysis. Although simple algebraic relationships are likely good enough to satisfy this end.

However, the 3D tools above give you a little bit more, that I feel warrant their consideration by the op. These models can yield performance of wing-tail-body configurations that include wake effects. They also can give stability analysis in both longitudinal/lateral axes. The stability effects being especially important if OP wants to design a flying-wing, which are a tad more challenging to get right than just slapping a "good-enough" sized tail on a classic config plane.
At least you get the painkillers. Not sure what else they'd really do for non-emergent kidney stones anyway. Painkillers is probably the best you can hope for, and getting them quickly and sent home sounds like a great outcome to me.

I dropped into Fabric on a stopover in London in July (first time back on that floor in probably 15 years). I was surprised when they asked for my phone, but yeah it 100% made a difference.

I think as a guide for buying honey his advice is valuable, although a bit dramatic, and it won’t apply to every country or region.

As someone who is a beekeeper and owns a farm, you can be much more certain what you’re getting is honey where I am from when it’s being purchased from the back of a van from some random person with some glass jars, than you can at any supermarket. Hi it’s me I am the random person with the glass jars :)

> Will they end the system that empowered them once in power?

This is one of a couple of points where the lack of a precise definition causes the perspective to fall apart. Liberals would do exactly that by instituting democratic liberalism in a country after coming to power.

Changing a system isn't fascistic. Even replacing isn't characteristic of fascism (although what is beyond self-identification), the French are up to Republic #5 and republics generally aren't fascist. It is necessary to evaluate the change and impacts of the change in context to work out what the nature of a political thing is.

It poisonous to say elections are “rigged” unless you can prove votes were manipulated. Otherwise you’re opening the door to wide ranging grievances to second guess election results. By your logic, the U.S. should have redone the 2020 election because U.S. intelligence agencies pressured Facebook and Twitter to suppress information that could have hurt Biden. Do you really want to open the door to claims like that?

And since then, no progress.
Agreed, but I would say it isn't necessarily tautological. I think there are lots of people out there who think that if you want to develop software faster you cut corners on things like testing (to be clear I'm not endorsing TDD, just saying having a reasonable number of tests beats the hell out of none), choosing a dynamically typed language vs a statically typed one, and just generally throwing code over the fence for the sake of moving fast. I think it's true that you will in fact move faster over time (not even a very long time, just like a few months) if you stick to whatever good principles you would have stuck to if you didn't have the time pressure of shipping while at a startup.

My read was that this was intentionally vague since it's basically trying to say to the reader that whatever you think is a good idea too do while developing software at a non-startup is also a good idea to do at a startup. If the reader has bad ideas about developing software then clearly there's no helping them :P

Note that Microsoft didn't actually promise support for Starfield or Helldivers 2. It's speculated by some outside sources based on the presence of AVX2 support, but the LLM slop at windowsonarm.org seems to have lost that nuance.

“Cheating” means “manipulating votes.” It cannot mean “persuading voters through means I don’t like.” That opens up a Pandora’s box you cannot close. There’s no limiting principle to draw clear lines about what’s proper influence versus improper influence.
Several comments mention Task/Taskfile already, which is very similar in that you define tasks in YAML.

I think it's worth mentioning Mage/Magefile [1][2] as well, where your tasks are actual Go code. Similar to how Rake is for tasks in Ruby code.

It's useful when you have complex tasks.

It's like using Pulumi instead of Terraform.

Online RL for LLMs means you are sampling from the model, scoring immediately, and passing gradients back to the model.

As opposed to, sampling from the model a bunch, getting scores offline, and then fine tuning the model on those offline scored generations.
I don’t actually think it’s that idiosyncratic a take. I think most people that want an assault weapons ban would be perfectly fine with “detachable fed, semiautomatic or select fire rifle (you can use the federal definition of rifle)”.

The cosmetic feature bans come from the mismash of court cases that define gun rights.
I'm guessing but the problem is source phone number spoofing. If Caller ID worked correctly 100% of the time and 100% of the time you get a fraud/spam/etc call you could complain and the authorities knew who owned the phone number it would be harder to operate the fraud. And with personal cryptographic attestation you could reliably link a phone number to a person.

You can solve to arbitrary precision but you can't measure and specify initial conditions to arbitrary precision, making the solution wrong outside of a small time interval.
What might be needless is the "4" in "4NF," because the first three (and a half) are obsolete. Or rather, as you mention, were only relevant when things were read sequentially. "Normalization" is really fine on its own.

Things that aren't normalized are "ad hoc," or really just "input."

Foreign nations need USD because global trade is conducted in USD. Global leaders are arguing about this right in this very moment, BRICS feel they might leave the dollar without fear of being bombed. The EU has no military means to backup their currency exchange rate, only import and export. And if more Europeans are moving their spending abroad, that will diminish the value of EUR.

I love these and my kids who are a little obsessed with stage magic right now are at the perfect age for Penn & Teller videos so I need to stash these for the next time I have them. There’s definitely skill levels involved, even at the professional level (and Penn & Teller are definitely among the best out there). We’ve been to two professional magic shows in the last year, one in Wisconsin Dells, the other in Lake Geneva (both venues starring their owners) and it was apparent that the Dells guy was much better than the Lake Geneva guy (although the second magician the Lake Geneva guy had some impressive work to show).
I think this is the weakest part of your argument about assault weapons bans fwiw.

It’s pretty clear statistically that handguns are in fact much much more dangerous than assault weapons.

But you don’t need to prove that to be anti-assault weapon but it feels very weird to look at the stats around these things and conclude that’s where the focus should be.

I think the focus is on assault weapons because handguns are off limits. The populace wants them and the courts are pretty clear on them.

Having everything normalised per 100, as well as serving size, is such a no brainer and easy to achieve. That's how it is in the EU.

I was curious about a deep dive into this topic, and skimmed the MS doc pages after a Google search. They mentioned different Windows APIs and Long file names, but the only mention of the tilde compat layer I found was very superficial ("some file-systems" use the tilde as special character), so I abandoned my initial interest in getting up to speed on this during a 2min weeekend read.
Ban unhealthy food dyes, those to which our bodies have a net negative reaction over time, regardless of their origin. There are plenty of perfectly fine synthetic food dyes and ingredients that are inert or no worse than natural ones, even those derived from petroleum.

To digress slightly, while I can agree that food dye serves primarily aesthetic purposes and has little value beyond that, many of these food additives increase shelf life and stability, thus preventing food waste and contributing to the abundance that many parts of the world enjoy, and hopefully, in the future, many more places will be able to enjoy as well.

The point is that there's often no way way to express "I want side effects" in declarative tools, and the number of side effects that might be useful is vast.

For example, sometimes I profiling the build times to see where I should focus effort.

Sometimes I want to see it to quickly check for issues where adding some dependency header causes build times to explode 100% in downstream dependencies during cold builds.

Another common occurrence for is trying to debug a platform, toolchain, or standard library issue and the build system either doesn't detect changes in those components or only makes the components readily accessible in an internal cache that's subject to invalidation issues. You'll usually get the wrong artifact or test results in those cases.

Some other systems (e.g. bazel/blaze comes to mind) actively try to hide side effects like stdout.

In all of these cases, the only way to actually get these side effects is to reach into the tool's internals by blowing away caches/output folders or reading live log files. That's a failure of the build tool.

I don't think there is anything to the timing of this but I am grateful for the greater focus on the lack of food safety enforcement under the FDA. Congress needs to first split the food from the drugs into separate agencies. Then give the FDA greater authority to demand compliance, transparency, and greater enforcement authority.
So are they barred from working at these places, or are they just not eligible to get there by means of programs that seek to increase diversity of hires and they have to get there the normal way instead?

Exactly! The idea is to use available data for evaluating the value and risk of OSS and then allocate donations accordingly to the wide algo-based systemic index, not to a narrow set of manually picked projects (usually large or popular ones).

The current algorithm is far from being perfect (it's an MVP) and will never be, but with more measurable inputs and after multiple iterations with the help of the community, it can lead to an analogue of "S&P500" for OSS, that's worth using for donating to reduce the risk of the global OSS supply chain we all rely on.

As with publicly traded companies, having a decentralized set of private donors with skin in the game helps a lot to efficiently evolve the approach and make it harder to exploit in the future. And on the contrary, I would not trust an algorithm created and maintained by some state-owned or simply very large institution.
There's probably reasonable disagreement on the extent of anti-trust enforcement etc. in developed economies. We may see a case study in the coming years.
