It's much the same in other countries.

It's not backwards. Which of the two makes a profit? Which of the two comes away richer? Which of the two actually takes business away from the original copyright holder?

This is a disingenuous argument.

Constant payment into perpetuity for the replication of digital information is just a form of rent-seeking. Except, unlike a landlord, you're not obligated to correct defects.

Well, rest in peace. If they do remove him, I hope nobody else loses their lives in the process. I understand they often don't bring people down because of the difficulty and danger of carrying something has heavy as a person at that altitude.

"Rainbow Valley" is a region near the top with many bodies, so-called because of the variety of coats and other gear. Most photos on Google are AI-generated, though.

That's fine if that's your goal, but don't expect anyone to adopt it then. 99% of people aren't flocking to video platforms for ideological nor technical reasons.

The economy is not spectacular by any means. It's about average on paper, and without AI growth (which will surely slow down like the .com crash) and increased healthcare spending, it's been mildly slumping.

Yes, meet Visual Basic 6. It has many OO features stapled on.

Why would it be difficult? Amateurs talk to the ISS all the time. You're only going 200 miles, and it's line-of-sight at all times while above the horizon since it's in the sky. You mostly have to just wait for a good window.

In serious professions, people take exams early in their careers for being certified. Sometimes they take additional exams to renew their certificates. And that's all.

The field of programming emerged from mathematics, not engineering unfortunately. So we lack any useful certification processes.

but many of the other questions should be things like "explain why this doesn't work", "why did you start with this approach?" and "are you sure that is the best name for that function?"

This is important and something more interviewers should do. The blind adherence to leetcode doesn't tell you much, especially if you're silent during the interview instead of having a short back-and-forth every 15 minutes or so. The problem solving process is more important than the problem solved.

“The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,” Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers, tells Fortune. “If there were a large portion of the job-seeking community that were wholesale rejecting this, our clients wouldn’t find the tool useful… This thing would be chronically underperforming for our clients. And we’re just not seeing that—we’re seeing the opposite.”

Person selling a product informs you that the product they're selling is good despite counter claims.

They're seeing the opposite because people are desperate.

I hope, wish, pray we get back to the 2021 market in a few years so we don't have to humor HR persons anymore. I was very polite and reasonable when I switched jobs in 2021 but when the cycle comes around I am going to string along HR folks and recruiters as a hobby. I will try to get them to cry on the phone.

Your job is also nothing very special. Have some humility. Very few companies need to be hiring the top 1% type of person, and your company is almost certainly of no interest to those people anyway.

Right now, every company thinks that because times are uncertain, they only want to hire the best of the best, so they can be sure of their choice. Of course, everyone else has the same idea and the "best of the best" already got hired somewhere better. I'm not really sure why employers are taking so long to realize this.

a free upgrade to Windows 11

My very expensive tower PC can't "up"grade because it doesn't have a TPM 2.0 module. So unless Microsoft plans to give me a new CPU (and new mobo) it's not free for many users.

And minecraft started as an Infiniminer clone intended to have Dwarf Fortress elements. Inspiration all the way down.

That's not really the full story. The US didn't come up with the moon goal. It was the Soviets' plan already, which is why JFK publicly announced it in a speech: to force them into a public prestige battle. The Soviets had the habit of repeated private failure. If they achieved something, they'd announce it afterwards; if they failed, they kept quiet. The US broadcast launches on TV and pre-announced goals, which was a major propaganda effort and much more effective than post-flight releases.

Anyone who thinks finder is the worst file browser hasn't used Windows for 25+ years. Explorer can't even search files on the hard drive of the computer it's running on.

Explorer has its thumbnail processor on the same thread as the UI so if you have a lot of pictures in a directory it'll just hang indefinitely. Sometimes if you have too many files it won't display any at all.

If explorer crashes, it's the same process as your desktop and taskbar, so that disappears too.

This reads like a semi-incoherent essay from someone who doesn't really understand what complexity is and has a chip on their shoulder about something completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Why not use Eyra?

Well, that's a lot of caveats. As I said, it would take years to complete. And it looks like it's well on its way but not near complete.

It would be a tremendous amount of work, and would take years. Meanwhile, the problems are avoidable. It's not exactly the "rust way" to just remember and avoid problems, but everything in language design is compromises.

The commit diff already tells you that.

When you squash a branch you'll have 200+ lines of new code on a new feature. The diff is not a quick way to get a summary of what's happening. You should put the "what" in your commit messages.

If I were starting today I'd definitely choose the Core One over the P1S (thanks to this rug pull). It's vastly more expensive, and the MMU isn't worth it from what I've heard, and the build volume is significantly smaller, but I don't think I'd go with Bambu after this week.

One thing to be said for Prusa is that their support is actually knowledgeable and experienced. You're not going to get a tier 1 support person who has never touched a printer and is just reading from a script.

it's not any harder to unbox or operate

I agree with this

and more reliable

I emphatically disagree with this.

while generally achieving somewhat better results

I agree with this.

I'd also like to add that my Prusa Mk3s+ is significantly slower than my P1S. Also, without the MMU it still cost more than my P1S with AMS. Choosing a Prusa is making a philosophical choice, because it's certainly not about convenience, speed, versatility (considering you need to buy a separate enclosure and pricey MMU), bed size, or price. It's a choice you make because you're okay with spending a lot more to support an open platform where you can flash your own firmware without voiding your warranty, not because you want a better experience.

TikTok is the exact same garbage you can get from Insta, YouTube, for fuck's sake even LinkedIn has video now

As a user of TikTok and Instagram Reels, TikTok had an actually good algorithm that would show you interesting things after you showed interest. I found a lot of film students with great reviews through TikTok. Instagram and YouTube don't care to show you that kind of thing.

IDK, I feel that if you're doing 5000 HTTP calls to another website it's kind of good manners to fix that. But OpenAI has never cared about the public commons.

Advanced lithography is like if a mystery cult were real: Secret knowledge only understood by the most learned initiates, tightly-guarded process, etching symbols that do things...

I found it extremely odd that he specifically pointed out professors being sexist as a thing that's perfectly fine to let them get away with.

This is a significantly better article than the wandering drivel of the original post

What makes it ugly? It's very functional, straightforward, and minimal. No huge padded tailwind components or anything.

Yeah, that's on purpose. It's meant to overstimulate you quickly
