verilog & c++ <3
When others are finding gold in rivers similar to mine, and I'm mostly finding dirt, I'm curious to ask and see how similar the rivers really are, or if the river they are panning in is actually somewhere I do find gold, but not a river I get to pan in often.
If the rivers really are similar, maybe I need to work on my panning game :)
I'm not meaning to be negative at all, but was this for a toy/hobby or for a commercial project?
I find that LLMs do very well on small greenfield toy/hobby projects but basically fall over when brought into commercial projects that often have bespoke requirements and standards (i.e. has to cross compile on qcc, comply with autosar, in-house build system, tons of legacy code laying around maybe maybe not used).
So no shade - I'm just really curious what kind of project you were able get such good results writing ESP32 FW and kernel drivers for :)
Waffle house then opened an "inquiry" since if they weren't making minimum wage through tips, it must have been because their service was poor (of course it's actually because it was a weekday graveyard shift).
They got their additional $30 or whatever and were then let go.
So while I agree it is illegal to pay less than federal minimum wage, even with tips, but in practice the system is built such that for poor workers in poor areas, they will frequently make less than minimum wage.
Although probably much less nowadays since the $7.25 is still the federal minimum wage and it's pretty hard to find people desperate enough to work for that little money since recent inflation.
May as well just say "Libruls BTFO"
I've seen the "This webpage is using alot of resources" popup before but I don't think it would happen in this case.
Because honestly I think this is horrifying. I would rather it switch from grey to red "recording" dot than use even the 6% the author decided was "fixed". In 99% of cases I do not care at all about the "artistic vision" of the UI designer and in the other 1% of cases (say an in-browser game or some useful data-viz) I could choose to allow the tab to go crazy with my resources.
A low-single-digit push to local burbs happened all over the country. "Austin" in the same way people discuss "Houston" or "Chicago" i.e. the local metro area has grown every year.
Population has receded slightly in the last couple years in Austin proper, is still greater than 2020, and the metro area has not shrunk year over year at all, although growth has slowed.
> £400/month help with her bills because she struggles with time management? I'm sympathetic to her problems but that is a shit ton of money!
£4800/yr is a shit ton of money? Things must be pretty rough over there!
> Child benefit also goes to lots of people (myself included) who totally don't need it.
Is that a bad thing?
A school in a poor area gets heavy investment and then can pull ("magnet") a certain percentage of their students from a much wider area. Involved parents apply for their children to go to these schools since they have the best art or theater or robotics or whatever programs.
This acknowledges that an important part of a successful school is parental involvement and a general culture of students that are interested in learning.
In practice, at least in my childhood, the schools largely self-segregated by the classes they took, i.e. AP or not, more or less challenging tracks ("honors" classes).
I still think it was a net positive. At least students in the underprivileged areas got access to these advanced programs, even if there were still social barriers. And as a kid from the suburbs, I got to meet kids outside of my suburban cohort - I think this was really valuable to me as a bit of a misfit.
I personally find that I can substitute 1/3-1/2 the sugar in various mixed drinks with sucralose without nearly the change in flavor as if I substituted all of the sugar. I'm an occasional drinker of zero sugar sodas though so maybe I am more accustomed to it.
But in consumer space, margins are very low, and so there is money to be made reselling used HW at a premium, so they will try.
Do you have an example? Every drink I've seen with artificial sweeteners is because their customers (myself included) want the drinks to have less calories. Sugary drinks is a much clearer understood health risk than aspartame or sucralose.
My misunderstanding then - what are you speaking to? Even reading this comment, I still don't understand.
The value is a nice starting point but the message is still confirmed by the actual expert. If it's fully auto-generated or I start "accepting" everything, then I agree it becomes completely useless.
- Cross platform support well integrating into "native" tooling
- Endless ability to add weird hacks to things to get around problems
The syntax is ...passable. I've never gotten a java stacktrace during a build failure (ahem bazel ahem).
It's straightforward enough to do the horrible things that C++ devs do all of the time like having 3 dependencies from system apt, 2 vendored, actually a 3rd is vendored but only used on windows, where the other 2 come from vcpkg, and 4 of these are statically linked but the last (openssl) is dynamic and accepts any version in order to support both ubuntu LTS and arch, but shipped as a dll on windows.
I have prayed before the CMake gods and they have accepted me.
But everyone is using them for different things and it doesn't always generalize. Maybe Claude was great at typescript or ruby or something else I don't do. But for some of us, it definitely was not astroturf for Gemini. My whole team was talking about how much better it was.
Are you just reposting or are you the real dadhacker?
Because if you are, I was reading your blog since I was like 14. Sad it's down now. But absolutely great stuff that helped prepare me for today's industry :)
> You can borrow Bitcoin against your policy, and the borrowed BTC adopts a cost basis at the time of the loan. So if BTC were to 10x after you fund your policy, you could borrow a Bitcoin from Meanwhile at the 10x higher cost basis—meaning you could sell that BTC immediately and not owe any capital gains tax on that 10x of appreciation
I think that MR is better for smaller projects i.e. ~10devs - it's lower overhead, just commit while you work then write up a description when you push.
I think rebase-CP is better for larger projects like ~100 devs committing to a repo - linear git history and every commit having a clear description+purpose+review is worth the overhead at that point.
So one-off tools and infra and stuff get chucked into gitlab while "the product" is in Gerrit.

Laptop screen is 4k with 200% scaling.
Seriously the font rendering in certain areas (i.e. windows notification panel) is actually dogshit. If I turn off the 200% scaling on the laptop screen then reboot it looks correct again.
Let's flip it - nursing, where men are a minority:
Oh look, a society dedicated to men in nursing. This is completely reasonable. The idea to go from "women are most of college graduates" to "society of women engineers should not exist" is insane.
> without comparable groups for men
Did you even try?

It's a serious topic in education, yes it's a thing people care about.
I studied with and was friends with women in my computer engineering major, SWE helped connect them with industry engineers who could speak about what it was like being a women in engineering.
I am not much of a TV watcher so this is the only episode of black mirror I've seen but this really got me - for a show that got so much hype - this is the first couple to have jealousy issues around this technology? Really?? And he has to cut it out of his head with a double edged razor? Really??? People want to forget things all of the time.
It's TV and the other shows I watch are mostly because they're terrible, so it was better than those, but it definitely felt like, cmon guys, we can do better.
> We should find out why the poor have worse dental outcomes and address the root problem
The root problem is that parents that are absent, either for noble reasons (working multiple low-wage jobs) or less noble reasons (addiction, abandonment) will not have the presence to enforce good dental hygiene.
There will always be some subset of parents that are more or less absent, and the main solution that exists for that in the US currently i.e. the foster care system has measurably terrible outcomes, and so it is only applied in the most egregious cases.
Why should we let perfect be the enemy of good here? I'm all for removing fluoride from the water, once it has no benefit on the population. But currently, it has a huge benefit, just on people who are least likely to advocate for it.
"You're just pushing your "Benevolent But Superior Intelligence" onto people" is an appeal to emotion, not a solution to real problems that real children face.
More emotionally: it's fucking embarrassing we let bullshit arguments like this hurt people in real life.
This is so incurious. Obviously most people, poor or not, have access to fluoridated toothpaste and toothbrushes, and can brush.
Yet OP cites data (not explicitly, but you can start here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6974062/, there are many like it).
Fluoridated water makes the most impact on poor and undeserved communities: Why?
Is it because poor people are less capable of brushing or have less access to fluoridated toothpaste?
Is it because poor people are poor because they have poor self control, which prevents them from regular brushing?
Does it matter? Nothing hinges on them being incapable at all - your conjecture can be as uncharitable - poor people are dirty and incapable - or charitable - poor people have less money and time to seek dental care, have higher rates of untreated mental and physical illness i.e. ADHD, disabilities that interrupt daily tooth-brushing routine - as you want.
But the result is still that if we want children from poor families to have less cavities by the time they reach adulthood - we should fluoridate the water! If you trust the western medical establishment, it's broadly safe. If you don't, then none of the evidence above matters to you anyways.
I am seeing bot-generated reviews more and more often, and when I look at what happened to search, I don't have a lot of faith in google to do a better job with maps. But I sure hope they do, because I'm with you - I really do rely on maps reviews.
