I'm not a shadcn user, and so as with any project I'm not familiar with, I'm looking to see if if it's interesting to me. If the post is thoughtful and clear and I like the sense I…

Usually there's one or two job responsibilities among many, that you can do, but not the way everyone else does them. The ADA requires employers to make reasonable accommodations, …

Nit, but if you're thinking of Haskell's text library, it's utf8 now: https://github.com/haskell/text/pull/365

If the goal to drive the yield on T-notes down, then cut spending and raise taxes. Get the budget into something like balance and the Fed will cut rates, and borrowing costs will f…

> And it’s a healthy wake-up call when someone who knows close to nothing about our fancy stuff designs a system that we would unlikely think of. I can't tell if the author asked K…

Not sure why you’re fighting this so hard, but: GW, Triboro, Whitestone, Throgs Neck, Goethals, Outerbridge, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel. Only the last two land in the toll zone…

You wouldn’t want it in the CI pipeline, because any model clever enough to find real issues is also going to find plenty of false positives. That seems like too much friction for …

It’s Manhattan below 60th, not all of Manhattan, so maybe half the island, and it doesn’t include the FDR. Most of the ways to get to Queens, Brooklyn or Staten Island by car won’t…

Nah, good AI would run in the compiler and optimize the recursion into something fast.

Have a goal, and measure your progress towards that goal. If "get stronger" is enough, great; but if not, find some challenging activity you enjoy and want to improve at, and do th…

Counterpoint from someone better informed about bipolar would be interesting and valuable. That said, it’s a discussion of an article asking “why is this guy like this?” One potent…

Then I’m not sure why you’re arguing that $50 billion would make the problem go away. Care to explain the good faith reason if you have one?

Good news: we’re spending more than five times that on domestic semiconductor manufacturing, already, starting two years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act

I’m not sure Apple’s the best example for you. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/05/technology/antitrust-appl...

That’s the difference between a plain old tax credit and a “refundable” tax credit.

Can't speak for what the person you're replying to meant (lol), but no, of course it's not nearly that stark. There's a continuum. Concrete everyday topic that comes up frequently?…

I don't know what the response time usually is in urgent cases, do you? There's a quote on pg 16 of the study that makes same-day sound unremarkable. It starts: > A lot of times th…

Thanks for the link to the paper. But I don't think that 10-20 seizures per prevented suicide estimate you mention can tell us anything about probable cause or the lack thereof. It…

Nowhere anywhere ever has perfectly and strictly enforced all its laws, or even come particularly close. Prosecutorial discretion isn't something the US invented.

I use nix-shell, and mostly I love it. But it’s important to be aware that the above means “Go get the latest(*) versions of python, pillow and ansicolor and run this code in an en…

It’s a great choice for the JS ecosystem for the same reason it’s a terrible choice for the JS ecosystem: JS dependencies are a lot, and they sometimes want to do strange things at…

“Thanks for coming to us with this, we’re looking at it right away” wouldn’t take a lot of time or commit then to anything

You can also do Ctrl-Z to pause the running process, and then `%1; say done` (or whatever) to restart the first queued job and then run the new command. Avoids the interactive issu…

Taking something from a research prototype proof-of-concept to production absolutely counts as innovation. In some ways it's the most difficult and impactful phase of innovation. L…

I hope I wasn't unclear, I'm not stuck on testing per se. I want Amazon to stand behind what's sold on its site. I don't really care what goes into that: if it needs to physically …
