What are your reasons for considering a move at all? What would you expect to get out of moving to SF?

Is this legit? It reads as so promotional.

Hostility on the state and federal levels toward the idea of letting the city’s tax dollars be used to support the city instead of the rest of the state/nation. NYC contributes WAY more in tax money than it receives in state and federa

Aside from relatively low COL for a major city (and assuming no roots in the state), why would anyone want to live in Tulsa at all? I say that as someone who’s spent a non-trivial amount of time there, too. The weather is miserable in summe

In 1920 they might have said “expatriate” or “emigrant” instead. “Expat” is a recent shortening. I haven’t seen it used with “going” much, but the meaning is clear.

Or maybe college English majors aren’t familiar with archaic meanings of common words like “retired” and “wonderful” that are used differently than they were 175 years ago?

Partly hype. But it looks like some advances have been made (see also: a couple places announcing quantum chips). It still doesn’t seem to be at a stage where it’s remotely usable for anything, though.

I use them constantly to, and you almost gave me a heart attack. Based on the plan doc, it looks like they’re not eliminating them. They’re consolidating the mechanism with custom search engines and creating a prefs UI for defining either o

The inability to open links in a new tab is far too common, so sloppy, and I LOATHE it. Too many e-commerce websites won’t let you do this, which means comparing items in the results is excruciating. Even worse, some disallow new tabs AND l

There’s a fun product management story that I forget where I read about how Microsoft discovered that most people who used excel weren’t using it for calculations. They used it to make lists (well, tables). It’s the visual grid that people

The reporting of the fine as scaled against their profits is perfect. That really should be done for all corporate fines.

To some degree. But you’re probably not going to get strength out of sharp bends. And does steaming interfere with this treatment? I’m assuming there’s a reason this story includes a quote at the end that’s specifically about I-beams.

Yup, and there are also limitations on joining. Steel and wood are joined in very different ways with different physical properties of their joints and different spatial profiles for joints as well. You can’t weld wood.

Maybe limitations wrt the shapes it can easily take on? One of steel’s advantages in vehicles is its plasticity. Whereas construction mostly just requires materials that are flat and straight.

Just like the national do not call list it would become an immediate source for those who don’t care to follow the law, namely phishers and other scammers.

Isn’t the median something like $5k?

I may not be a fan of the guy but agree that this is a worthwhile goal. On the other hand, with stagnant wages and rising costs, how many people will simply starve instead? Especially if we don’t address the other factors like overwork and

And presumably some poor Sherpa is going to have to risk his life to haul their asses back down when this turns out not to work as well as they’d hoped.

Load test against a clone instead of a DB whose contents you care about?

Not much help when polarization gets in the way of accepting what information is factual. Even worse when polarized media deliberately misleads about and suppresses inconvenient facts.

Yeah, my memory matches yours. Not extraterrestrial in the sense of “from another planet” but found when investigating the crash of a satellite or something to that effect.

Ah, it’s discussing roots rather than words?

Don’t want to accept? Or don’t care? Or maybe even… like it that way?

The sales pitch is for people who don’t have the money on hand. But hope they will later when their next paycheck comes in.

$168k family income may be upper-middle class (just barely these days — that’s two fairly moderate white collar incomes), but it’s still middle class.

Because it’s optimized for profit instead of efficiency.

Emoluments clause? What emoluments clause? Or is congress just gonna sign off on this, since apparently that’s the loophole?

Didn’t read the paper, but Inuktitut produces words in a compound manner, right? Not quite like Germanic languages where you can crash a bunch of adjectives and nouns together to make a new word. But if I understand correctly, the syntax is

In theory, these companies all claim they don’t use data from API calls for training. Whether or not they adhere to that is… TBD, I guess. So far I’ve decided to trust Anthropic and OpenAI with my code, but not Deepseek, for instance.
