Seems like GP spent more time testing this than the author did

More and more of the social networks are just the algorithm though - tiktok, X, Facebook, etc. How much of your feed does the average use personally know now?

This site is not all representative of the average internet user though

In comparison it’s much faster to draw, infinitely more portable and much less distracting. I use pen and paper for self notes that are throwaway in nature or exploring ideas. For artefacts that are meant to be shared with others I use a computer

Autopilots don't do any of those things without human in the loop

Doesn’t load_json throw if the file doesn’t exist?

Can you give some examples? Super interesting to me as someone with no children

Not sure I follow. The constants like Price or Currency would be available across threads.

Also, if you’re writing a custom data class, you’d need to write code to support immutability which this article’s approach handles

Because everything in Ruby is an object and everything is a passing messages (ie a method call).

Could you give some examples of what the use cases are where Rails makes it hard to stray from the beaten path?

This is a bunch of pseudoscience that isn't proven by anything at all and isn't peer reviewed either

Except that if you’re an exceptional candidate you might get uplevelled or they might find money in the budget for you that didn’t previously exist for the role (more so if it’s a small company)

By asking these questions up front you might weed yourself out even though the role might have been a good match.

A union strike requires a union. That’s why it works because everyone votes the same way. What we have now is prisoners dilemma; some photographers will take pictures of ULA launchers and others will not.

Why are they an ADA violation? Who are they discriminating against

Even if you’re curing cancer a lot of the actual work you do is pretty meaningless

Three buildup of troops by Russia along the Ukrainian border started in 2021, which is when the US left Afghanistan.

I'm not the parent nor am I saying the two wars are related but it's not unfathomable to think that American intelligence could have predicted a war between Ukraine and Russia at the same time as they were exiting Afghanistan

There's also those of us who don't have kids, don't want them and would love to go to a theme park without dealing with 5 year olds crying or toddlers throwing tantrums.

I'm just wondering who the globalists here are

Sadly it's a dying art form. 40-50 years ago every scientific university department used to have a scientific photographer to allow the researchers to publish their photos in articles. My own godfather was a scientific photographer who retired and started commercializing scientific photos.

Unfortunately now, due to shrinking budgets and the proliferation of iPhones the need for such photographers is vanishing.

I'm in the same situation (mobile Safari, French phone) but if you use Chrome it works

This hasn't been true for a long time now, more so for major routes.

Just to check, I looked up prices for flights from LAX-JFK and compared them to a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, both in the middle of July.

The Canadian flight was $18 cheaper, if you exclude low cost carriers. If you include LCCs, the Canadian option was about 10% more expensive.

Canadian oligopolies are very real and exist in telecom, grocery, banking, energy and mass media, the airline industry has gotten slightly better over the past decade

You’re not allowed to carry pepper spray in Canada for self defence purposes

Where in Canada are you getting 2$ for a liter of milk? It’s almost double that everywhere I’ve seen.

It’s originally British and was slightly derogatory there: https://amp.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/oct/01/guardian...

When used in American English I think the derogatory aspect is no longer present but that’s my opinion

What would that practically look like? How would circular dependencies be resolved, for example?

LLMs are better at this and it’ll probably marginally improve the output quality but there can potentially be hallucinations (false positives or negatives) even in this evaluation task.

Half a liter is ⅔ of a standard bottle of wine. Even if it is only 11% ABV, this still equates to 55 ml of ethanol. An average 14 year old male weighs 112 lbs, about 70% of an adult’s size.

So if we extrapolate linearly, 55 ml of ethanol would be equivalent to 78 ml of ethanol for an adult, which is 6.5 shots, assuming a 1 oz shot

It's absolutely insane to trust that they won't do this.

I imagine the battery life in a dumb phone (assuming you opt for the ones that don’t run Android) would be much longer.

As an organic chemist who became a software engineer, I’ll say that it’s more than just money (Or curing disease) that drives a lot of people. There’s just something inherently amazing about having the literal world supply of a compound that you made using your own hands (and the laws of nature). And in organic chemistry, there’s a bit of subjectivity and art too - designing compounds, designing a chemical route to synthesize them, etc.
