He might have meant trains rather than buses when he brought up mass transit. It's rare I've been on a train in a metro area only carrying one or two people.

Anti-privacy can mean "we accidentally leaked that you visited facebook.com on Nov 15" or "we allowed your employer to see that you're actively job hunting." I mean technically the same term is OK to use for both, b

Interestingly enough, AI with humans in the loop is probably perfect for this. The first tier of review can be AI. It will get a deluge of pro-se requests from prisoners just like the current system. People will (rightly) insist on an app

What if they wake up and the world is a worse place? You're making a big bet that people in the far future will look at your preserved body as a resource to cherish, not one to be exploited.

The thought was - if I have a long piece of code repeated, and I want it to be shorter, I can - Use a language that minimizes the code to write - Use a helper function, maybe at some runtime cost - Use a macro, turning a short piece of code

Would an array language without the terseness, but with hygienic macros, fit the same niche?

Fully agree - also it’s a bit weird on Tesla’s part to think that there could be no possible way to make things better than a human in some regards. If humans had radar, it would probably make us more capable, not less.

I do this - I mow half and have given the rest to native plants. Benefits: - My lawn is prettier (native wildflowers are really nice) - Deeper roots around my house has slowed/stopped the basement water that the previous owners had to

Yup. When I last looked into it the overwhelming amount of fire deaths were squatters lighting fires in derelict homes, and were not in a state of mind to escape. Better homeless shelter policies & mental health support would be wildly

Less powerful inventions have caused more drama than this, historically speaking.

Having read the roadmap - this could be chopped up into posts that fit with the ethos of bluesky with no real loss to the message. It’s not particularly long and is just a couple of things they’re focusing on with a blurb about each roadma

Some unsolicited advice - You run a service that serves public text updates. Why am I reading a blog post and not a series of bluesky posts? I know that different mediums serve different purposes, but it’s tough to see why this wouldn’t be

I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but the "with hundreds of other families" is the thing that makes college so fun, cities feel alive, etc. Some people are into that - and suburban life is increasingly feeling the absence of it. Ha

Is anyone using Rama at scale? This isn't a complaint about it being closed-source, people have to make their money somehow. But I've seen a lot about Rama's scale when the only things to check the claim are a private beta

I remember the marketing for App Academy was that we all would be self-taught, but then the actual makeup of the cohort were people who had prior programming experience (CS all through high school and as a hobby, but studied linguistics in

App Academy (in a much hotter 2013 job market) honored its 10% of my first year’s salary ISA when I attended. Anecdotally from my cohort, they worked with people on missed payments without triggering a balloon repayment.

A prediction - by 2030 there will be another temperance movement. This time it will be disaffected wives who don't want their husbands betting on sports. 75% confidence

Speaking from past experience at Guaranteed Rate, management (probably not developers) regrets that experiment. They’ve laid off most of the clojure devs I know of there (I’m sure one or two remain for legacy services.)

It seems everyone uses the term wrong around here - I live in the area and when I had my home repointed, every tradesman called it tuckpointing. Probably a regional thing.

I live in one of these red brick homes! It’s amazing how well they hold up. The architecture is pretty desirable too, St Louis has a really dense style that makes lots of city neighborhoods extremely walkable.

If he’s eligible for parole at 1/3 of a 25 year sentence, he will spend anywhere from between 8 years, 4 months in prison or 25 years. That would make him somewhere between 40 and 57 when he gets out.

If you work in hardware and are interested in solving this lemme say this There are billions of dollars waiting for the first person to get this right. The only reason I haven’t jumped on this myself is a lack of familiarity with drivers.

I’ve spent the last month deep in GPU driver/compiler world and - AMD or Apple (Metal) or someone (I haven’t tried Intel’s stuff) just needs to have a single guide to installing a driver and compiler that doesn’t segfault if you look a

"...yet, East Bay travelers would benefit the most from such development." True, but who do you personally know who would trade a small benefit every time they fly for a moderate nuisance at their house? I'm not sure even pi

This is fantastic advice! One additional thing I do is Identify people they don’t work with, that you would naturally assume they would. Typically this means: Your understanding of how processes flow in this industry has some gaps, or som

I like this analogy, especially because lots of homeless people sit on the beach without things to do, and we don’t really envy that they have the time to write the next great American novel.

It feels like this might be sarcastic? But if not Based on how the US currently rolls out universal programs, UBI probably looks a lot more like the current Section 8 housing program. They’re gonna guarantee something minimally livable, n
