>I have to give it to Putin, he did put an enormous amount of effort to break up the west.

How so?

>Something tells me though that however the Ukraine "deal" ends, it won't be the end of wartime in Europe.

It won't be the end. The West will rearm Ukraine and it will be only the question of time when they start new "Anti-Terrorist Operation" in the Eastern Ukraine.

>As far as I read the other day drafting continues in Russia across all Oblasts with large sums of money paid to people signing up. Appeasement never works.

It's not drafting. People signing contracts are volunteers -- Ukraine gave Putin a great gift by invading Kurskaya oblast and really pissing off ordinary Russians.

It's funny (and sad) that the US federal workers are being made to experience the same FUD we immigrants face for years, some for decades, over job security, livelihood, taking care of family etc. That too for absolutely no good reason, given how well the economy is doing.
> Any of them with manual steps just can't, right?

If you are literally using the kind of scripts used here, they can't be called by a production system though their use can be part of formalized desk procedures.

It is a fairly natural next step (and a not unheard of first step in automation, bypassing these) to instead build something like these scripts but into an actual workflow management system where it can be triggered by either a user or even automatically tied to another system event, can be assigned to an available worker, can have status and artifacts tracked, and can trigger downstream processes.

(Of course, once you have the process in such a system, where the human worker is essentially a component the system calls to complete defined steps—contrary to GPs criticism—what you have is equqivalent to a documented process with the notable different that it is much easier to refactor it to divide work among components, etc., just loke any other software system.)
This is not unusual in general…

My cottage in wales is built smack atop a roman road, and the garden follows the line of the agger. At some point it degraded so much that people started walking in the roadside ditch instead, which is now a holloway.

I have a friend in Bath who has an extremely fine Roman mosaic under his basement floor - found during construction a few centuries ago and they just left it in situ, put clay atop it and laid flags. He rediscovered it about 15 years ago when they pulled the flagstones up to put in a damp-proof course. Likely part of the baths complex as his house is a stones throw from them. Archaeologists documented it, and it was then buried under sand and a damp-proof course.

He’s still got damp down there.

Our insane spending on health care is independent from funding of scientific research, and only a small amount of your tax funds it (again - different than spending on "healthcare").

Being that country that makes scientific breakthroughs is a good thing. Name one of these "free loading" countries out there is in better shape because they don't do science and just sit back reap the benefits?

>, practically everything used to be public land, and yet we observe that a burned out meth trailer on .25 acres still costs a quarter million

The omitted piece here is without discharging public lands .25 of marginal land on slivers of original chartered land would now likely be worth millions with nothing cheaper in sight. We noticed public discharge of lands had worked spectacularly well towards providing more land for homes and for cheaper prices. If we went by your criteria it would be a resounding 'sell it all' unquestionably.

>ell at the highest possible price that the market will bear and that increasingly desperate buyers can afford

Simple supply/demand dictated higher supply should lower prices all else equal

>his fixes the problem for 1 guy maybe

1 guy who improved the land, then dies/sells, this goes on and generations enjoy the compounding fruit of this.

And who says I want to change nothing else? The recipe I've found for success in a building a home for under 6 figures has many components

1) Use recently discharged or never developed former public land

2). No building codes or inspections, nor building plans or structural engineering. I took advantage of this to be able to DIY a home for $30k without having to deal with bureaucrats.

3) No licensing for trades. I saved lots by not dealing with unions or tradesmen gatekept by trades rackets.

4). Loose zoning

5). No public services. I built my own roads, with no tax funded road access, private septic, private water and utilities so that property taxes are near 0.

Using my recipe people can own homes+land for a couple years of typical full time middle age wages and pay practically no taxes on it
The only Shorts I watch on YouTube are actually cooking ones.

I just want quick and clear instructions.

We were used to thousands words long cooking blogs where the actual recipe was buried in personal anecdotes/psychological therapy.
10+ minutes long cooking videos for a simple recipe are even worse.

Someone like @BakingHermann mastered the Shorts : all the instructions are here, few anecdotes, few tips, done.
No multiple focus on their face or their appliance.
Just the essential.
Wunderbar!

The result is they don't need to spend $3500 for each video.
In the end the technical quality wasn’t what mattered.

Hmm... I'm not familiar with the speedrunning community. However, if I check the rules it cites, while it does say this today[1]:

> There obviously needs to be continuity between segments in terms of inventory, experience points or whatever is applicable for the individual game.

> manually editing/adding/removing game files is generally not allowed

If I check the Wayback Machine, it doesn't go all the way back to 2009 when the run was done. Earliest is 2012, and there it doesn't say anything about continuity or editing/adding/removing game files.[2]

No, what you said sounds extremely extreme. Remembering a lot of stuff since ~4? For me, that feels inconceivable!

Myself, I remember maybe one or two things per year from 4+ onwards if I focus; flashes of images. This gradually ramps up after ~12yo, and I can actually say I remember some events from around 16+ well enough to describe them and place in rich context. Properly detailed memory? That starts for me somewhere after 20. I'm 36.
We have a notorious junior LLM addict in the team. All experienced engineers are extremely annoyed reviewing his code due to endless stream of merge requests containing repetitive code which often plainly doesn't work in any other than the happiest of scenarios and the fact that it doesn't work can be seen from space (i.e. no testing needed, it's obvious while reviewing).

While every single developer now uses LLM, the outcome really depends on how one is using it.

Nice, how's it working out for you so far?
https://archive.ph/ee7i0
When I was a PhD student in Computer Science, I wanted to fund my research without depending on other people. So I wrote, and won, a grant for $650,000.

The University of Washington took 55% off the top in "indirect costs." Then of the direct costs, a bunch more taxes went to the department, the lab, etc. I ended up getting about $40,000 total from that grant to fund my actual research.

I was told that this is just how the game works.

The Lesson: There is a huge amount of waste in academic grants.

The university does not need 55% indirect costs to fund my research. They gave me a laptop and an office to work in. But the laptop actually came out of direct costs. And as for the office... well, I tended not to use it. Coffeeshops were nicer places to work.

So that 55% — $357,500 — was not necessary for research. It disappeared in an administrative hierarchy that kept growing. I talked to professors from 20 years before, and they said that the administration had grown 3x in their time being there. They built their reputation as scientists when everything was smaller and cheaper. Now all that reputation is generating more money, which is getting gobbled up by an administration that wasn't needed when they produced their original successes.
This announcement is written so poorly that it might be one of the rare cases where linking to the primary article is suboptimal.

> the Department of Energy will postpone the implementation of seven of the Biden-Harris administration’s restrictive mandates on home appliances.

My Trumper brother loves his union and Trump.

I've asked him to explain how this can be and he cant, he just accommodates the contradiction with a lot hand-waving.

So I think that there are enough Trumpers that are OK with unions to make a majority that support unions.

Basically, Trumpers can choose to believe anything they want, anytime they want, for any reason they want, or for no reason at all.

They do that in order to be able to rationalize their irrational, and often detestable behavior to themselves.
Rash and schemesh start from similar ideas: create a shell scriptable in some dialect of Lisp.

Rash has several limitations, sometimes due to design choices, that schemesh solves:

1. no job control

2. multi-line editing is limited

3. from what I understand, shell syntax is available only at REPL top level. Once you switch to Lisp syntax with `(`, you can return to shell syntax only with `)`. Thus means you cannot embed shell syntax inside Lisp syntax, i.e. you cannot do `(define j {find -type f | less})`

4. shell commands are Lisp functions, not Lisp objects. Inspecting and redirecting them after they have been created is difficult

5. Rash is written in Racket, which has larger RAM footprint than schemesh running on vanilla Chez Scheme: at startup, ~160MB vs. ~32MB

6. Racket/Rash support for multi-language at REPL is limited: once you do `#lang racket`, you cannot go back to `#lang rash`

I can’t imagine how I would have learned the programming trade if I hadn’t been in the office with more experienced engineers guiding me. I feel for all the young engineers out there today who have to deal with reluctant audio-only calls with senior team members or — worse yet — people who insist on all communication happening over text.

I also find it amazing how many people focus on “my productivity” and “my ability to focus” rather than on the team’s productivity. Professional software engineering is a team sport.

I don’t think 9-5 for five days a week is the right answer, but I also believe that frequent time in person is crucial for an excellent team.

The article is internally inconsistent and I'm not sure what it actually means.

These things have the reasoning skills of a toddler, yet we keep fine-tuning their writing style to be more and more authoritative - this one is only missing the font and color scheme, other than that the output formatted exactly like a research paper.
Thank you for doing this. Ever since the election there’s a concerted effort to exaggerate and mislead people. This site will go the way of Reddit unless people like you are paying attention and take action.
I do remember those days, and the idea that people thought the internet was a fad is wildly overblown.

The reason was: (1) it wasn't new, wide access to it was new and (2) there was clear value to it that could be explained to others and used immediately

Neither of those are true for LLMs. It just has a lot of weird hype men who get huffy and DARVO if you say what you honestly think lol
First of all, I don't really get the unnecessary condencension. I am not a beginner when it comes to Kubernetes and don't struggle to understand the concept at all. I first used Kubernetes at version 1.3 back in 2016, ran production workloads on it, contributed upstream to Kubernetes itself, and at one point even did a short bit of consulting for it. I am not trying to claim to be any kind of authority on Kubernetes or job scheduling as a topic, but when you talk down to people the way that you are doing to me, it doesn't make your point any better, it just makes you look like an insecure dick. I really tried to avoid escalating this on the last reply, but it has to be said.

Second of all, I don't really understand why you think I'd be blown away by the notion that you can use Kubernetes to run a single container. You can also open a can with a nuclear warhead, does not mean it makes any sense.

In production systems, Kubernetes and its ecosystem are very useful for providing the kinds of things that are table stakes, like zero-downtime deployments, metric collection and monitoring, resource provisioning, load balancing, distributed CRON, etc. which absolutely doesn't come for free either in terms of complexity or resource utilization.

But if all you need to do is run one container on a Raspberry Pi and don't care about any of that stuff, then even something stripped down like k3s is simply not necessary. You can use it if you want to, but it's overkill, and you'll be spending memory and CPU cycles on shit you are basically not using. Literally anything can schedule a single pod on a single node. A systemd Podman unit will certainly work, for example, and it will involve significantly less YAML as a bonus.

I don't think the point I'm making is particularly nuanced here. It's basically YAGNI but for infrastructure.

I think because despite not knowing him for the first 5 years of his life, he has come to be so integral to my life and I find it profound and important. Without adding that context it does seem arbitrary and strange to mention. My relationship with him is very meaningful in that regard, so I suppose it occurred to me to mention it. Even without that bond normally formed in those early years, I'd be absolutely devastated if something happened to him.

It isn't just about the books or authors, just as a cafe isn't just about the bean-growers. Bookshops are social hubs. They give you a chance to browse and see what else is available in the area you are searching and often, not even in the area you are searching. For me, a good bookshop makes an area worthwhile to visit and hang out.

> And, while LED bulbs do have a higher up-front cost, they also last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. This means a consumer would end up spending far less money replacing their bulbs if they were to use LEDs.

Led bulbs may last up to 50 times longer, but the sad truth most 240v led bulbs flogged onto the unsuspecting public here in Australia in the past, even good name brands, were doing well to last even three, yes three times longer before starting to dim, signalling that within a few weeks or months the bulb will dim to a point it will need replacing. Yes, the manufactures of brands sold over our way opted to use some fraction of consumables (capacitor, transistor etc) that were a few cents cheaper but a tenth or hundredth as resilient. I think the quality of bulb electronics is starting to improve though for our much warmer conditions.

I like led bulbs though, for every one 100w incandescent bulb replaced ... instead of one lit room, the entire household can be well lit.
It won't scale in complexity. At a certain point, your mutable state will become really hard to maintain, so you will need some form of state manager. Then your code will grow and accumulate a lot of bad practices, so you will need a linter. You won't be able to keep the whole codebase in your mind, so you will need more help from your IDE, and you'll end up using Typescript. Your teams will keep overriding each other's CSS, so you will introduce CSS Modules in your build step. The product managers will ask about deeplinking without reloading the page, so you will install a router. Your mutable DOM manipulation code will become full of ifs and special cases, so you will feel the need of abstracting out your components in a declarative way etc.
I'm not saying you need all of this from the start, but you will need parts of it pretty soon if your application is heavily interactive.
Why are you special in this regard?
