I’ve had Beej’s Guide to C and Beej’s Guide to networking bookmarked for an embarrassing amount of time. But this is the first guide that I know the material! I have “learned computer science” (somewhat). And I have to say it has propelled

That's not true. They didn't measure wages, but used it as a proxy. What they're actually measuring is work done, or tasks. Last I checked, most people work a job where there is more work to do than time in the day to do it -

Great point, tractors replaced labor and society has never recovered. We used to have a noble population of farmhands walking behind animals for miles, guiding plows with their bare hands. But thanks to tractors, all that fulfilling communa

When Trump was elected I convinced myself it was positive in the way the depression of a business cycle is positive. Sure there is pain but it’s good to cut the strangulation and inefficiency of too much bureaucracy. I hoped this admin woul

The super obvious workflow is to query for an idea in natural English and then verify or ask the LLM to provide the paths it was following. It begs the question why you assume the parent comment was going to blindly follow the LLMs output.

The attorneys you buy, and the hours and angles they’re willing to explore for a single $16k payout is very different than the attorneys your insurance company buys for 50 $50k payouts.

It’s not the fault of the individual trying to secure a $16k payout from a multi billion dollar institution for not acting optimally. Insurance company should do that.

There is nothing you said that we disagree with. My point is that it makes far more sense to have insurance lawyers deal with this. It’s a much better way of aligning incentives to have large insurance companies pressure the government to o

While that may or may not be my belief as well, it’s a broader question than this specific article is addressing. An individual citizen should not be bringing these complex issues to court for a $16k payout. Obviously their insurance compan

The examples given are a subset of all circumstances where property damage occurred as a result of legal police power. Not all of which the government should be responsible for paying out.

What? The incentive issue of police mishaps being paid from taxpayer funds is entirely independent. > any investigation about potential wrongdoing should be separate from reimbursing the victim I explicitly stated that insurance should r

Trying to make broad assertions regarding who is financially responsible for the lawful execution of police power seems useless. In this case, it seems obvious that the police should have to pay if the accessing of a device from a given IP

I think the fundamental misunderstanding (for the majority of devs who dont "get hotwire") is that you can very often delegate the statefulness of a given interaction to A: The Server via the database or B: The Browser via localst

On principle, I agree. In practice, delivery vehicles don't have a place to safely stop, because that space is allocated to free street parking for private vehicles. Subsidized street parking for cars are externalizing their costs onto

Seems like a really inefficient way to do points… my CC company gives me 3 points and I eventually redeem them for USD. Is that not the L1 L2 network stuff, but just far less efficient than a DB write?
