as an immigrant who has lived in the USA for the last 35 years I still to this date feel some of the things here. my english by now is near damn perfect :) but every now and again when I meet someone new - depending on the words in the first few sentences I may hear “I detect a slight accent, where I are you from?” I am FROM HERE motherf^}%#] I think to myself…

I think also some countries are different from other in acceptance of foreigners. In Japan you will simply never be “one of them” while in some other countries you may have a better experience assimilating. I think the core issue here is that United States is just about the most unique place on Earth - everyone here is an immigrant. In my 35 years of living here there isn’t a single accent I have not heard yet. I know how people from India speak English, I know how people from Nigeria speak English, I know how people from El Salvador speak English… A French person is unlikely to know this and them hearing someone from El Salvador will sound strange - a true stranger. Most people in France are French, most people in Germany are Germans… (even with higher immigration from Africa and the Middle East…) whereas USA is like “what is an American?” To add to this:

America and Canada are much more accepting of immigrants than most other countries.

While this may be true for urban areas of the United States I believe this same post would be written by non-American coming to America and getting situated in some small rural town like Elmo, Kansas…
I have a wood block wedged between my car's battery and battery mount because the new battery was smaller and I couldn't get the mount to adjust down. I cringe whenever I get the oil done but I don't fix it because it is good enough. I do feel dirty about it and every other weekend I think, "I should install a proper sized mount." But the battery doesn't wiggle. It works. It is a temp fix that has been there half a year. Code is even less visible to most, so even more out of sight and out of mind.
I think that's about right.

Another way of thinking about this is that the author is confusing time as measurement (how much time) with time as rule (what time is it). If you wanted to measure the duration as a difference in clock times, yes, there would be a certain amount of measurement error incurred by the way clocks are displayed. But if you want to know the time, in the sense of whether a certain time has been reached, or a certain graduation has been crossed, it doesn't make sense to round to the nearest minute.

The question of "how much is this clock off?" is only meaningful with reference to a certain use or interpretation of the numbers being displayed. If you say it's "8:56" people know it could be anything up to but not including 8:57, but greater than or equal to 8:56. The number means a threshold in time, not a quantity.
Management monopolizing organizational / social capital is itself a sign of a fairly unhealthy organization. So you might get a couple quarters of pain but then you'll end up with a better long term organization.
That is the difference in the U.S. businesses vs. European.

In Europe many companies think ethics even if is not illegal on paper.

In the U.S. you need to get big before it is illegal, lobby for it and then pay fines. But fines are okay since you got big already.
How much “worse” can they get? Radio Shack for instance has your information about your sales patterns since the 1990s even when using cash.

Credit cards vs cash is the least of your problems and on a meta level, users have been willing to give their information to retailers and been doing couponimg for decades.
Or a couple spoonfuls of sugar.
No, my entire point is that most of what I do is not coding. Even if LLMs could output correct code, they still can't do software engineering.

all righty then.
Thing is, the federal government does not have the power to "ask the police" to do anything. That's obviously by design and part of the demarcation of powers we expect from a democracy. The accusations of authoritarianism would have been just as drastic (I think?) if the PM had stood up and tried to call the RCMP or Ottawa police / OPP to task for their inaction and so on.

Sibling commenter is right: the police should be the ones under the microscope, for failing the citizenry. Questions should be asked about to what degree their membership was compromised by allegiance to or involvement with the convoy and its cause.
A pointless rant about business policies: nothing in the article was specific to software.

Complaints in order: subscription pricing; automatically preventing orders to minimize cancelled orders; an algorithm that will make the [door]dashers angry at the business owners; the geniuses at Google and Yelp [with a] review system designed to encourage any sociopath to smash businesses at will.

The whole article tries to blame software, however the article is actually about how businesses design poor interactions and how businesses sometimes make poor tradeoffs.

He even mentions a few examples when businesses fix the problems - as though that is a bad thing. 20/20 hindsight of the perfect armchair critic.
I feel it's gonna correct soon. Just make sure you're not overinvested in the wrong places.
Almost every clock based on mechanical escapement stops hands on each beat. That is where the ticking noise of classic mechanical movement comes from. For quartz clocks, smooth sweeping hands is a premium feature and I'm not sure are even those truly continuous motion or just higher frequency.

Sure, to increase the rates people can negotiate for. Which is cool, I like more money too!

I just find it ironic you’ve had to go offshore to be able to afford talent. Which is what many companies are doing due to the high US rates. With a very small part to play by levels.fyi, because people see the shiny numbers and aim for the same.

This isn’t conjecture (but could be an anecdote), I know a founder who offshored because people wouldn’t take a high five figure rate due to salaries shown in the area on levels (this was mentioned in negotiating a couple times). I’ve heard similar stories from others!
Port Angeles, WA has a similar, but smaller Underground.

I've had a number of Dell's in the past and IMO their "consumer" and "professional" lines might as well be different brands that happen to share the "Dell" name.

Their consumer laptops are all garbage IMO, mainly cause I find they try to max out specs so it looks good on paper and skimp on really basic things like the hinges, batteries, etc.

Their professional laptops are much better, my parents just got rid of a Dell Latitude that I passed down to them after college, and when I bought it for college it was already 5-6 years old so all in all it had a service life of more than a decade. Specs might be down compared to the consumer line but everything else IMO is much better built (chassis, battery, hinges, etc)
The other problem with the Mac in those years was that there was no decent web browser.

Windows MSIE eventually surpassed the usability, functionality and popularity of Netscape, but Microsoft's Mac version of MSIE did not.

In the late 1990s, many websites did not render or function correctly on Macintosh.

It's definitely not 'overwhelmingly popular,' but polling shows majority support (66%) from Canadians for use of the Emergencies Act at the time of the protest.

Because then I can keep the bulk of the logic in a language that’s better designed than JS. Not having to write JS is a huge feature. The added complexity of HTMX is abstracted behind a single library, and the bulk of the logic stays in a better-designed language—Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, Rust, Zig, C#, anything.
> the movie portrayed zucc as kind of an asshole, but also a hero

The word/ genre is a protagonist as antihero. An antihero is nice in fiction, we sympathize with them to some degree over their flaws and challenges. The problem is that a billionaire very much has an outsized impact.
>while creating $355 in economic growth for the region in the long run

typo/missing "million" or other qualifier behind the $355?

Here's to hoping that they don't screw it up by putting too many stops in (looking at you Olympia).

>Traveling at up to 250 mph

And hope they don't end up watering down the speed. What is the likely-hood it won't have a TSA-like, get to the rail station and hour before departure? Doesn't seem like there are too many existing routes in the world above 200 MPH:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail#Maximum_speed_...

If it is only 150 MPH, that probably isn't enough to make it worthwhile over just driving from Seattle to Portland, once you factor in the inconveniences of not traveling on you own schedule, having to deal with transportation at the destination, have to drive to and from the terminal, parking at the terminal, etc.. Especially in 5-10 years when I'd expect "self-driving" to get noticeably better on cars. Hard to believe they'd start breaking ground on this new rail line before 2035. And begin operation in 2045?
Most surprising because the 4a is no longer supported for software updates.
A few Kagi searches turned up a game called "Parking Perfection", is that it?
He never had it. If this was 10 years ago, you'd be forgiven for not seeing through it but by this point there's really no excuse.
Then that's a confusion the manufacturer should address. Consistency and clarity is key. But it's not solved by scrapping all of it in favor of "Plus", "Pro" and "Max".

The person who got infected in Canada came very close to dying. They were on ECMO for a while. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2415890
On a long enough timeline, probably. But we're talking about decades here. Are you content with things sucking horribly for most of the duration of these cycles ?

And this also assumes that we are not moving to a different kind of society (as posited by cyberpunk) : a much more stable system, where corporations are able to capture enough power that only whole society collapse events are able to get rid of most of them.

You are right, that is still and ad. Platform ads are really common for anyone running their own ad exchange. Sometimes its just to use up supply, other times its to meet in house goals.
Or just use salesforce. Skip the other platforms. No need to re-invent the wheel. Just do custom dev in SF for your tracking needs, and don't run multiple platforms in the first place.
You mean uninterested?
No government lowers housing prices. Additionally real estate rarely drops in price unless there is a major economic downturn. It isn't going to happen.
For non-ideological minerals - calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, etc. - there are fairly well-accepted ranges of "healthy" blood levels. And lists of undesirable side-effects, which too-low and too-high levels could cause. And plenty of medical conditions where an individual might be advised to aim for a lower or higher level. And ...

Vs. fluoride always seems to be a raging culture war.

Why?
The problem must be in impenetrable nature of software to regular people, in conjunction with that software automation affects everyone.

I always thought that the fact that no judges and/or law makers and/or enforcement officials can realistically read software is extremely dangerous, and will, long term, completely remove rules of law from societies. If an engineer decides a judge can be deplatformed, they can, and while the platform company would have internal consistency processes, ultimately it's up to good will of members of the same exclusionary in-group of software engineers to undo it(unless JDAM is going to be an option).

I don't think there are many such impactful yet (although for technical reasons rather than favoritism) as exclusionary fields as the field of software. That must be why and how software is eating the world - not software becoming a first class citizen of a modern society.
But the quality of components in an Air versus a Pro is presumed to be the same, just the specs are different. So all you are doing is shopping for the screen size, screen type, storage size, RAM, weight, etc that you need/want.

Whereas, with a Dell or HP, I would have to figure out which models are going to be built with cheaper materials that will wear out or have a higher chance of breaking.
You must be joking right. This euro-superior tone that always pops up on here is delusional.

Has anyone attempted to use water jets with aggregate, like you would on a CNC waterjet cutter, for boring through rock?

Had this thought the other day and wondered if there would be any advantages over metal cutting teeth. From the article, I gather that replacing cutting teeth isn't that much of a problem nowadays so that mitigates one advantage it might have.
> at any point during this game we could just open a new tab and watch the ocean on a YouTube livestream.

That's a great observation.

I'm not sure how to phrase this exactly, but there's something going on for at least some people - definitely for me - that the thing we're seeking refuge in are given meaning by the things we're seeking refuge from. Like you said, at any point during the game - or before, or after - I could open a new tab and watch the ocean on YouTube, or even watch the same thing that was the ending of the game. Except, obviously, I wouldn't, because why would I? It would be totally random and arbitrary, a kind of plot non sequitur you'd complain about if it was a piece of fiction. This ocean scene only makes sense as an ending of this game, as a refuge, a contrast, a punchline. It's the stimulation game preceding it, that gives meaning to the ending.

I've noticed I often feel similarly about many hobbies, interests, tasks, - heck, even people - they rapidly stop being interesting once I don't have any stressing obligation I should be working on instead.

(My HN comment history, too, is strongly and positively correlated with amount of stuff I should be doing instead in my life, but not necessarily want to.)
I'd like to see the "imagine what you'd look like if you exercised a lot more" or "had better posture" or "spent all summer in the sun" filters.
...and a we would get a host of new bugs that would be a lot harder to fix. Invisible jumps are very bad.
I think in that case, the two witnesses would have contradictory stories as to what the exact sequence of the escalation was, so it would be hard to tell which one to believe.
Another banger release!
I have used and like HTMX. But I think Unpoly is more batteries included, in a good way:

It has more built-in functionality that most web applications are going to need.

I hear this a lot, but don't understand it.

In my own field (biomedical research), AI has already been a revolution. Everyone - and I mean everyone - is using AlphaFold, for example. It is a game changer, a true revolution.

And everyday I use AI for mundane things, like summarization, transcribing, and language translation. All supremely useful. And there is a ton more. So I never understand the "hype" thing. It deserves to be hyped imo, as it is already become essential.
but companies are already using multiple tools alongside salesforce for ticketing, issue/incident management etc. also SF sucks, slow and boring with close to no automation
> This makes it sound like this is an overt decision by YouTube to stop monetizing a 3B1B video rather than an abuse of automated systems. The difference is important.

There is no difference. Google's overt decision to continue operating automated systems that enable this abuse is the cause, and that is unlikely to change because Google does not care. It is cheaper to allow abuse than to change their system (more human intervention and effort). "The purpose of the system is what it does."

If you as a creator decide to operate on a platform where the owner has no intention of changing their automated systems, and therefore this is a potential outcome, you are playing Russian roulette with your income stream (if any). That is a choice. Your income could disappear at any time with no recourse. There is no social contract at play between creators and Google, only Google optimizing for its shareholders.
Removing anything that is making unwanted noise far away from the desk is one thing that comes to mind immediately.

Imagine your periphery like keyboard, mouse, whatever attached to some dock/hub, or using that of your main-screen, and that long cable going into another room from there/that hub/dock, where the noise/heat doesn't disturb anyone.

In olden times one could do that (among other things, not their main use-case) with so called 'KVM-switches', which are special and expensive equipment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch

Except for that active optical cable, with current hardware this is no speciality anymore.

Good thing :)

Not a great idea to post nitter links any more in public forums. The (very few) instances that are left are using small pools of private accounts, and get saturated to uselessness quickly. And especially to big forums like this, that have been known to take down fairly robust sites.

And if you or someone you know wants to work on this project, I’d love to hear from you as well.

My Backstory
I almost flunked my Management Information Systems major at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) because I found the technical side of things boring at the time. Fast-forward to last September 28th, 2024: I had a bike accident that tore my AC joint ligament, leaving me stuck at home for months. With nothing else to do on evenings and weekends, I threw myself into coding—thanks to the power of LLMs and AI, I finally found a way to make the technical stuff engaging!

What is Leger?
Enterprise-Grade: Built with Next.js, Stripe for payments, and Auth0 for secure organizational management.

HIPAA-Compliant: Data is stored at the organization level with top-level security.

Multi-Language Support: 60+ languages for transcription.

Long-Form Voice Dictation: Up to 3 hours with 99.7% accuracy.

Custom Templates: H&P, SOAP, or any other format you require.
