I do not get the downvotes, there is no sexism involved. Woman change after having a baby, which is totally normal that they become totally risk adverse and very protective. This, a holiday to Machu Pitchu is deemed to many unknowns towards the baby vs. a short trip to a nearby totally quiet forest.

If you have a strategy and need plans, maybe you could use an AI (probably not LLMs). If you need a strategy, maybe you can feed high-level goals into an AI and it could come up with one (though it will have difficulty thinking outside its box). But the primary value of a CEO is being the definitive source of high-level goals and systemic values. An AI is not going to come up with those, except by mimicking the stated goals and values of other CEOs.<p>It&#x27;s easy to say &quot;the high-level goal is maximizing profit&quot; but as we all lament daily, having that as a goal is both vapid and only functional in the short-term.

I&#x27;m not longsighted but my myopia has really progressed in my 40s. The Viture XR Pro has myopia dials which means that I can dial both to suit, but unfortunately the whole setup is awful for productivity, especially on Linux. Their android app is also just a &quot;toy&quot;. And I definitely can&#x27;t imagine using them for AR. Maybe their competitors, XREAL (which claim 6dof) are better here, but they don&#x27;t have the myopia dials.

Raptor Lake is pretty ancient, though. Wasn&#x27;t it basically the same as Alder Lake?<p>Lunar Lake is supposedly pretty close to the Snapdragon. A bit slower but no need to bother with ARM and a much better GPU (if that matters).

&gt; so you would admit that a 25% diff in base pay would be plausible . so would you also admit a 25% diff in benifits would also be plausible . granted the total diff would work out to somewhere around 30~40% range , but i still hold if we are comparing true apple to apple and we exclude FAANG , we would most likely get in the 50% range.<p>25% of the pieces summed would be 25% of the whole. I am not sure how we hand wave to 30-40% and then jump to 50%. Your 50% minimum is still dubious but hey go with it!

&gt; While many think having a &quot;largest customer&quot; is an asset, it&#x27;s actually a company&#x27;s biggest weakness.<p>100% correct. It&#x27;s always better to get one nickel each from 100 people than 100 nickels from one person. If you get one nickel each from 100 customers, losing a customer won&#x27;t hurt you. If you only have one customer, losing them is an existential problem. Also, if you have a customer that is singularly large enough, then that customer will inevitably start to direct how you operate your business.<p>The extreme example of this is being an employee. In that situation, you have a business with exactly one customer and so that customer has the power to demand all sorts fairly extreme things from you, such as having to work in particular places at particular times, dictating exactly how you engage in that work, etc.

&quot;Free&quot; healthcare is actually massively subsidized by our own taxes, which can reach as much as 52% where I live. We also have paid parental leave (maternal and paternal), good public transport, paid sick leave, and all the goodies that make a society civilized.<p>That translates to a happier and healthier population, surprisingly or not, where out of the top 10 happiest countries in the world, 9 are European, and the 10-th is not the US: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;worldpopulationreview.com&#x2F;country-rankings&#x2F;happiest-countries-in-the-world" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;worldpopulationreview.com&#x2F;country-rankings&#x2F;happiest-...</a><p>The stats for longevity are similar, and the US is, unfortunately but not unsurprisingly, not in the top 10.

I fully expect that an exception will be made to effectively treat it as a tech-related gTLD, which is how it has been used in practice all along anyway.<p>If ICANN really chooses to break every GitHub Pages, crates.io, gcr.io, quay.io, etc. URL just to blindly follow a policy, then they will have proven themselves an incompetent arbiter of the domain name system. This feels so unlikely that I&#x27;m not worried about it all.

A grocery store is not a person. And besides that, laws and regulations exist specifically to restrict what people are able to do. Nobody is entirely sovereign. Sure, if you discover an island and you decide to live there, maybe you’re sovereign and can act however you want. But we live in a collective. That’s just the way it works.

The author argues that when people say &quot;billionaires can&#x27;t sell their holdings&quot; that they mean &quot;instantly&quot; and that&#x27;s not true because they can sell their holdings slowly, and then the author argues that this won&#x27;t affect the price of those assets because they represent a small amount of the value in the total market.<p>This is not a serious argument. You&#x27;re telling me that if shareholders see a founder divest entirely from their companies, they aren&#x27;t going to take that as a bad signal, and also choose to divest? Bullshit. The size of the total market is completely irrelevant.<p>But you know, if this was a serious argument, the author would&#x27;ve been able to have it published SOMEWHERE and it wouldn&#x27;t just be a gist<p>Don&#x27;t know why I wasted my time clicking that link. I knew it would be what it was.

absolutely, this should not be done at the language level. the language should not enforce &quot;best practices&quot;, that&#x27;s what the ecosystem is for.

The value of the super wealthy’s net worth is paper. It only has value because we all agree it has value. If you started to seize their paper wealth and give it to everyone else, the value of that paper would immediately fall, not just from the threat of seizing it but their lack of ownership and stewardship would make it crumble.<p>When someone actually uses their money, like to buy a mansion, we do indeed tax the shit out of it. We tax the corporation, we tax the dividends, we tax the gains, we tax the seller of the property and we make the buyer pay various fees. We tax the property yearly, and we increase the assessed value of it upwards to get more tax every year. Tax tax tax.<p>The only place to get more tax is to just seize the paper straight. And I think that’s a terrible idea.

I want one, but can&#x27;t justify it. Probably be into it around 10K installed, maybe more. We&#x27;ve only had one multi-day outage in the 12 years we&#x27;ve lived here, because our wiring is all underground and it took a century level storm to wipe it out. We get occasional outages of a few minutes to a couple hours in the winter if a tree hits a power line somewhere in the nearby above-ground grid, but that&#x27;s about it. I&#x27;d still love to be the only guy in the neighborhood all lit up when everyone else goes dark :). To be fair, I&#x27;d actually be #2 now, guy a few houses up the street is that beacon of light now. But still.<p>When we were shopping for houses out in the sticks, I had that generator budgeted right into the price of the house. If I got a multi-day outage very year, it&#x27;s a no brainer.

As SV startup with Python monolith, yes, it&#x27;s very common for startup but generally gets ejected because lack of strict typing and speed. We are replacing with Go, Node and .Net.

Do you know if VAX BASIC fixed the other problems I mentioned in BASIC, other than being interpreted? You were the one that brought it up as an alternative. Specifically, did it have record types, local variables, and subroutine parameters? This is the third time I&#x27;ve asked in this thread, but possibly you didn&#x27;t notice the first two times.<p>I think &quot;a macro assembler with nicer syntax&quot; is an excellent summary of C. Though it&#x27;s transitioning to &quot;a retrocomputing programming language we have to support in order to be able to run software that was written long ago&quot;.<p>I agree that many other macro assemblers have more powerful macro capabilities than C. After looking at most of the output of the group that produced Unix, I think that&#x27;s on purpose: cpp was <i>deliberately</i> less powerful than GPM or m6, but that&#x27;s not because they weren&#x27;t familiar with m6 or couldn&#x27;t figure out how to write it, and ed was <i>deliberately</i> less powerful than QED or TECO, but that wasn&#x27;t because they weren&#x27;t familiar with QED. Possibly Plauger&#x27;s remark about how one of the worst things he&#x27;d done in his life was to write a relocating linker in QED provides a clue as to why.<p>With the benefit of 45–55 years of hindsight, the decision to prioritize clarity over expressiveness in ed and cpp seems to have really paid off. You seem to disagree, but you don&#x27;t say why; maybe you think it&#x27;s axiomatic that more expressive languages are better, despite the fact that we&#x27;re having this discussion in HTML rather than PostScript or TeX, using URLs rather than Smalltalk or Open Firmware bytecode packets, with browsers written mostly in C++ rather than Scheme or Common Lisp, over TCP&#x2F;IP rather than CHAOSNET. If my suggested axiom were correct, all of those would be the other way around.<p>I&#x27;d like to see RatC, but I haven&#x27;t been able to find old editions of A Book on C, and the later revisions seem to have removed it.<p>I don&#x27;t see how Modula-2 is relevant to a discussion about Pascal. There were lots of Pascal-inspired languages in the 70s and 80s; Modula-2 was neither the most influential one nor Wirth&#x27;s favorite.<p>It remains true that you could easily do portable systems programming in C in the late 70s and 80s, and you could do nonportable systems programming in VAX Pascal, but doing portable systems programming in Pascal required major compromises when it was possible at all. (Just to clarify, when I say &quot;systems&quot; I don&#x27;t mean &quot;kernels&quot;; I mean &quot;not applications&quot;, as you clearly also did when you said &quot;VMS also supported Pascal and BASIC dialects for systems programming.&quot;)<p>There were other parts of your comment I wasn&#x27;t able to make any sense of, but if you feel you said something I haven&#x27;t responded to, please feel free to clarify.

Yeah these things are all pretty relative of the reader&#x27;s perspective. FWIW I mean this specifically for the less technical threads. Technical threads still seem to rank contributions appropriately. But the moment you touch on something more cultural, like the long term computer thread, or the Mr Beast thread from the other day, you get a lot of pretty low signal comments that get a lot of karma. I do find that the very top of the comments page stays okay but the moment you get past the very top you get lots of low effort comments.

When I was in the army I switched to holding my assault rifle right handed because I was near sighted on my left eye. (Not getting the casings ejected onto my right arm when they later gave me an LMG was an added bonus, man that gun was poorly designed)<p>It took maybe a week to get used to the switch but wasn&#x27;t that big of a problem even though I&#x27;m both left handed and left eyed.<p>So you just.. do it, I guess?

&gt; other times I&#x27;ll spend days just breaking up thousand line functions into simpler blocks just to be able to follow what&#x27;s going on<p>Absolutely, I&#x27;ll break up a long block of code into several functions, even if there is nowhere else they will be called, just to make things easier to understand (and potentially easier to test). If a function or procedure does not fit on one screen, I will almost always break it up.<p>Obviously &quot;one screen&quot; is an approximation, not all screens&#x2F;windows are the same size, but in practice for me this is about 20-30 lines.

Getting a loan against assets is another way of &quot;using&quot; it, so why not make that a taxable event?<p>Just like now your stock value would not be taxed while it is invested. But now it would be taxed if you use it as collateral for anything. If you don&#x27;t want to pay capital gains by selling the underlying stock then you can just get a bigger loan and pay the taxes out of that.<p>There, now you don&#x27;t have to liquidate but the taxpayers benefit too when the wealth is &quot;used&quot; by the owner.

&gt; prevent you from understanding the situation from this particular person&#x27;s point of view<p>I&#x27;m not, because you&#x27;re not that person, you&#x27;re a different person, who for some reason is trying to answer for them, while not actually knowing the reason. What&#x27;s preventing me from knowing the reason is that person not answering to the question. Then it&#x27;s not a life-or-death situation for me if they answer or not.<p>&gt; Even if his annual income is $135,000, it can be rational and ethical to sacrifice some aspects of job satisfaction for even more income, e.g., if he is responsible for the economic security of an entire family.<p>Absolutely, I don&#x27;t disagree with that. I disagree with the notion that this person cannot answer for themselves, and you have to somehow assume how my living situation is, when that&#x27;s pretty far away from the topic.<p>I did lose my cool a bit when you asked me an irrelevant question, and then I replied with an irrelevant question myself just to show how off-topic all of that is. I&#x27;m sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me.

This argument doesn&#x27;t account for would happen to the valuations of those assets once the government decided that it owned a portion of them or started forcing people to sell them. Suddenly they are a hell of a lot more risky, presumably the market would price that in very quickly.

Why? So massive differences in wealth look significantly smaller? By graphing this in log scale you are admitting there is an &quot;exponentially growing delta between rich and poor&quot; and log makes it easier to even visualize (which is insane to begin with).

A more accurate statement is that English is a language where spelling often reflects history and etymology, rather than phonetics.<p>There&#x27;s always a relation between a spoken word and its written representation, they&#x27;re the same thing in different mediums.

hypothesis : it&#x27;s not per se affluence. it&#x27;s the culture of the family and social circle. A dollop of $ to have some free time and maybe buy some books would help and might be necessary.<p>imagine a family where youngster is encouraged to work on intellectual problems. where you aren&#x27;t made fun of for touching nerdy things. or for doing puzzles. where the social circle endorses learning. these things more important than $ in a first world economy. (if third world, yes give me some money please for a book or even just food. and hopefully with time, an internet connected device then the cream will rise they can just watch feynman on YouTube...)<p>that said, it&#x27;s &quot;better&quot; than it used to be. hundreds of years ago most interesting science, etc. was done by the royal class. not because they are smarter (I assume). But they had free time. And, social encouragement perhaps too.<p>bill gates and zuck dropped out of Harvard right? it&#x27;s not per se Harvard, at least not the graduating bit? being surrounded by other smart people is helpful -- and or people who encourage intellectual endeavors.

Ah I think I wasn’t clear. I don’t really care if time moves sequentially or jumps around in random order. My concern is with the existence of time itself.<p>What gives space meaning is coordinates, which allow multiple things to exist separately from each other. Likewise you need another coordinate to differentiate “snapshots” of the universe. So in that sense time is necessary to differentiate two states. But i understand we’re talking about a more fundamental notion of time so i get what you’re saying.<p>Perhaps a better way to put it is time is necessary for events to happen. Let’s say you could view the universe from the outside, ok great but what can you do with that? You still need time to <i>do</i> things even if you’re outside the universe. Otherwise it would literally be frozen and meaningless.<p>That’s my issue with these timeless theories is people imagine viewing the universe as a static 4D object but they still talk about it as if things are happening outside the universe and you need time for events to happen.<p>If time doesn’t exist then a “gods eye view” is meaningless because nothing could happen from that perspective either. It’s also a strong statement about the origins of reality because if time doesn’t exist then reality could not have been created through any process. God or otherwise.

Easy fix: the ccTLD is now a gTLD.

Language is a social and cultural phenomenon. That doesn’t mean there are no rules. It means that the rules are implicitly decided collectively by the community of speakers rather than by a centralized body.

reject the alphabet and stop writing vowels unless really needed.

How can you imagine any world without experience (observation?) thus any observer is dependent on position thus time simply because it is the partial history that allows the state itself to exist.<p>And your second point is essentially the metaphysical argument for god and early spirituality. Hebrew mystiscm for example describes god pouring itself into lower forms of being to experience itself

That&#x27;s why we need a row of ALUs in RAM chips. Read a row of DRAM and use it in a vector operation. With the speed of row reading, the ALU could take many cycles per operation to limit area.

&gt; but it does make me happy that Linux holds its own performance-wise<p>IMHO those benchmarks doesn&#x27;t necessarily say much without any power usage data. Not sure what the current situation is but historically it wasn&#x27;t uncommon for battery life to drop by 2x or so in Linux without extensive tweaking.

&gt; lingua-franca of the day that is English. Of course neither German nor French would be a better alternative as a global international neutral language.<p>Being a linga-frinca has nothing to do with merits though.<p>Aside from &quot;linga franca&quot; being literally &quot;French&quot;, it&#x27;s a matter of which group of nations have a tremendously dominant position on the international scene. If China was to take hold of India and Russia and set the rules for the rest of the world, the defacto linga-frinca won&#x27;t be English for long, however intricate people might feel about Chinese.

If Ukraine started a nuclear weapons program, they would be in violation of the NPT treaty. Sanctions and loss of Western support would be virtually guaranteed.

A whole lot of yapping and ZERO code on the homepage. Authors should remove 90% of the stuff on that landing page, jesus!<p>also since zod is the de facto validation lib, might be worth a specific page talking about why this vs zod. even their migration from zod page looks nearly identical between the two packages.

Valibot is really nice, particularly for avoiding bundle size bloat. Because Zod uses a &quot;fluent builder&quot; API, all of Zod&#x27;s functionality is implemented in classes with many methods. Importing something like `z.string` also imports validators to check if the string is a UUID, email address, has a minimum or maximum length, matches a regex, and so on - even if none of those validators are used. Valibot makes these independent functions that are composed using the &quot;pipe&quot; function, which means that only the functions which are actually used need to be included in your JavaScript bundle. Since most apps use only a small percentage of the available validators, the bundle size reduction can be quite significant relative to Zod.

Correct on the part of it being a runtime validation of data library (I can&#x27;t as easily speak to whether or not it is similar to joi, never used it)

I mean, you do you. People generally don&#x27;t complain if you&#x27;re a couple hundred nanoseconds (if that) late. They do complain if your accounts don&#x27;t add up by a single penny.

Valibot also has much, much more efficient type inference, which sounds unimportant right up until you have 50 schemas referencing each other and all your Typescript stuff slows to a molasses crawl.

Anyone reading your code is going to assume this is a bug. The PEP is right that explicit is better than implicit. You should write `except BaseException` (whether or not this PEP is approved).
