What happened in Massachusetts?

At my large corporation, we are required to use a centralized React library for internal apps. So it is not “react by default”, but instead “React is the only choice”. 100% agree that our path out is for the central library to be reimplemented as web components to open us up to using whatever framework we choose.

Europe accounts for 31% of baking mix sales while North America accounts for 24.5%.

You’re the only one who put “Open” in there. Both your parent and grandparent said JDK.

The immigration raid and what was happening at these plants is 100% different…not sure how you can even pretend they are the same. The system they are discussing is one where you’ve already been in the US legally for 6 years.

How is diff less effective? I see the diff in the formatting I prefer? With sed, I can project the source into a formatting most convenient for what I’m trying to do with sed. And I have no idea what you’re on about version control. It ruins sending patch files that require a line number around, but most places don’t do that any more.

What I would be curious on is tracing from errors back to the source code. Nearly every language I’ve used prints line number and offset on the line for the error. How that worked in the Diana world would be interesting to learn.

Where Europe is ahead of the US is really in neighborhood wide geothermal for heating and cooling. The US tends to only use networked multi building geothermal for corporate and university campuses while having little central planning for a neighborhood of individuals to migrate to geothermal.

You have to dig them up to fix the leaks…

Citation needed. Curbs are expensive. Sewer pipes are expensive (for the last 60 years, Montreal has separated rainwater and wastewater sewers in all new construction).

Montreal likely doesn’t do it because it would lower the density of buildings.

How so? This proposal doesn’t require you to run `git lfs install` to get the correct files…

The article is specifically about how Apple doesn’t use the double Irish loophole any more as they moved to Jersey…

I would hardly describe a brand licensing agreement as a pivot of the company.

A true pivot of Kodak was moving from just doing chemicals for film to doing chemicals for the pharmaceutical industry. That actually involved employees changing what they do, changing factory equipment, etc.

Many companies face model regressions on actively used workflows. Microsoft is the cloud provider who won’t force you to upgrade to new models. This has driven enterprises facing model regressions to Microsoft, not just for workflows facing this problem, but also new workflows just to be safe and not have to migrate clouds if there is a regression.

But that’s not what history shows us. The subway with the second most ridership in the US is WMATA. How did they get there? By going big with their plans in the 1960s. All the systems that thought small in that era (MARTA, BART, LA Metro) have much lower ridership to this day.

There is a good basis to this. Every new mile and station you add to a system compounds on the size of the system. The 11th station connects you to 10 places. The 51st station connects you to 50 places. Build small and you never get the critical mass needed to see widespread adoption.

It is much more expensive to build another line at that point due to the increase in density of the city (and sometimes new requirements of stations to meet building codes). Nearly every high volume transit system out there has choke points that are extremely expensive or impossible to fix by building another line. The tunnel between VA and DC on WMATA’s Orange, Silver, and Blue lines is a 20 year project. Tracks for LIRR to go to Grand Central took 60 years from proposal to opening. It is viewed as nearly impossible to build a line parallel to the MBTA underground green line, a system that has short two car trains and 4 branches above ground on the Boston side, so very easily could use a parallel line.

Why wouldn’t they report you? It isn’t like you know who your housekeeper is or that they have any reason to believe you’ll be a repeat guest that will continue to tip them.

I’m fairly certain that most US hotels, you will get complaints from the neighboring rooms about someone smoking. I don’t think you need to rely on the cleaning staff for detection.

Neither, it is for Linux computers with NVIDIA cards

It does use AWS infrastructure, ie Bedrock which supports many different models.

> investors are not getting mortgages

I don’t know of any real estate investor who doesn’t use mortgages. The norm is interest-only mortgages and not paying down principal at all.

This description does a disservice claiming the work isn’t possible with computers. The papers on FoldIt do a much better job of describing taking optimization and communication strategies from players and implementing them in code to improve the existing algorithms.

I mean the first sentence about enumeration and efficiency just shows how shallow the discover article is; the whole area of optimization is about efficiently finding optimal solutions without enumerating all possibilities.

Having a joint program across all those would cost far more money.

At my FAANG company, the central framework team has taken calling what people do in reality HTTP bindings. https://smithy.io/2.0/spec/http-bindings.html

Have you gotten a colonoscopy?

Why (claimed)? It’s pretty easy to verify this person is a professor at SAIS. And the Atlantic is a big enough publication that if someone was impersonating him, it would have been found out since publication.

I had an overweight BMI when I could run a sub 3-hour marathon, I’ve concluded my body just doesn’t match the normal range.

I’m not sure that LLM makes it easier to do. Pain points I’ve seen:

1. You have to remember all the technologies you need included, my company template already has them.

2. LLM doesn’t have a standardized directory structure, so you end up with different projects having different structures and file naming conventions. This makes later refactoring or upgrades across multiple projects less automatable (sometimes this can be solved by having an LLM do those, but they often are unsuccessful in some projects still)

3. LLMs have a knowledge cutoff. If your company has already moved to a version after that knowledge cutoff, you need to upgrade the LLM generated code.

I very much prefer having a company template to asking an LLM to generate the initial project.

Is this the case even with rerere in git?

The distributed computing manifesto for Amazon is from 1998. Jeff was not thinking about those things then. And wouldn’t for 5 more years.

That is not true at all…
