> IN the continental US, you cannot refuse to accept a dollar note.

Minor side note: this is true only for repayment of debts. Some local jurisdictions require private parties to accept cash for new purchases, but there's no federal requirement to do so.

ASA, per the post

Looks like this uses the Truck modeling kernel: https://github.com/ricosjp/truck

Interestingly, ttouch created browser-based CAD tool CADmium a few years ago based on Truck. Then, a few months ago, they created another one (CADara) based on OpenCASCADE: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48070083.

Truck seems cool, but creating a b-rep kernel is a phenomenal amount of work. Given that, I'm curious how quickly SolidCraft will mature.

It's pretty well established that building luxury condos freeze up lots of other housing at different price points. The person who moves into the luxury condo had to come from somewhere. This video is a pretty good overview of how this works: https://youtu.be/rQW4W1_SJmc

I assumed that it meant that if you ran code at compile time or at runtime, the results should be exactly the same given the same inputs.

Here's Rob's editor (or at least one of them): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_(text_editor)

I ctrl-Fed for "http" in this post and looked through the 61 links, following several of them that seemed like they may be relevant. I didn't find anything that appeared talked about what you've mentioned in your posts. Some talked about deaths, but I didn't find anything that even insinuated that they were carried about by or on behalf of the intelligence community.

I also did a web search for "intelligence community housecleaning" and looked through the top 60 results. I didn't find much. Several references talked about people being fired, but I didn't find any about them being killed.

I'd like to think I'm reasonably intelligent and web-literate, but after 15-20 minutes I didn't find what I was looking for. Maybe I'm just going about it the wrong way? Given how much you've posted on the topic, it seems like you want to convince people; if so, could you post some sources directly?

Where can you buy a workstation like that for so little?

Is there somewhere I can read more about what you are claiming in these comments? How did you learn about these housecleaning activities?

This 20-minute video argues that downtowns subsidize suburbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1G3D55LD-E. I found the arguments pretty persuasive. I'd love to hear counterpoints to them, though.

There's a coherent argument for doing so: if the law is enforced, and no one wants it to be enforced, it creates pressure to fix the law. Laws that are on the books but not enforced lead to laws meaning nothing in the extreme case.

I think there's merit to both sides and the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle.

Worse than vibe coding is vibe copywriting—and it appears to have that in spades. I have a really hard time taking something seriously that reads like it came straight out of Claude Code without even a minimal editing pass.

I hope it's legit, though, and that they succeed! I'd love to buy a product like they're planning to build.

The most practical way to do this is to ensure that your indoor air CO2 levels aren't significantly elevated over outdoor levels. One common way to do that (apart from opening windows) is to use a balanced ventilation system like an ERV or HRV. Those constantly exchange indoor air for outdoor air, and exchange a lot of the heat in the process to reduce energy losses.

Doesn't help if atmospheric CO2 levels increase to unsafe levels, though.

I suspect the intent is to minimize return on investment. The returns from climate data are returns that the current administration does not want.

That's about what I would expect from an organization named Government Accountability Office: hold the government accountable to its written guidelines (or at least report on how well it's doing at meeting them).

One reason there's no Perforce support for Gerrit/Rietveld is that Google doesn't use those tools for changes to code that's stored in Piper. Instead, they use Critique:

- https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book/html/ch19.html

- https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/how-google-takes-the-pain-...

I haven't found anything external that's as good, and am astounded that GitHub's incredibly lackluster PR review tooling is acceptable to most people. If anyone is aware of something in Critique's league, I'd love to hear about it!

Edit: I tried to do a reasonably thorough survey a couple of years ago when I left Google and https://codeapprove.com/ was the closest I found, but there were still many gaps.

A lot of academic reputation, as well as performance evaluation (for example toward tenure) is based on being published in "prestigious" journals. If you could fix that problem, I suspect the parasitic journals would evaporate overnight.

Don't forget copper interconnects for ICs. https://www.chiphistory.org/ibm-s-development-of-copper-inte...

The first line of the article starts out "Thirteen years ago last August, I was camped out in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory press room..."

I wonder what the energy/evolutionary cost of densely-connected brains is. If it's advantageous, why are crows exceptional?

What's the security story? I would love to adopt cloud dev environments that are constrained enough that I can safely run agents in YOLO mode, but not so constrained that they are useless. I would want it to be safe enough to run 80 to 90% of typical development work without supervision, and then have an escape hatch that allows doing other things with human supervision.

edit: and if anyone knows of an existing service that has these properties, I'd love to know about it.

It helps a bit more than you imply, though: if you can launch from a higher altitude, you have less atmosphere to plow through. That lets you use more of your propellant to speed up instead of to push air out of the way.

I think the hard part for me about doing something like that is not forgoing those things, it's figuring out what to eat instead. Any tips?

Less of a possibility than in a similar combustion vehicle, though, since EVs tend to be heavier.

The first version was part of Code Search proper, and wasn't super useful for much more than just typo fixes, since it was essentially just a textarea edit box. That was eventually deprecated and replaced with a button that did the same thing, but opened in Cider instead.

Very true. It was still hundreds of millions of lines of first party code a decade ago, and could easily be over a billion at this point.

Only 25 million? :) Google had billions a decade ago...

I'm curious: have you done a (single or double) blind test where you prepare dishes (selected at random) with or without MSG/aspartame/yeast extract and record the effects?

To be clear: not saying you should, just wondering how you came the conclusion that those ingredients are the trigger.

A recent Atlantic article [1] by someone involved in the Mississippi reforms gives a good outline of what they did/are doing. It includes science-based reading curriculum and holding kids back (as you mentioned). It also includes other forms of accountability, including parental notification and empowering the state to force recalcitrant districts to improve. One notable quote:

"The law allowed the state to abolish these districts’ local school board and remove the local superintendent in favor of a state appointee who would report directly to the state board of education. A later amendment provided that removed local-school-board members would be barred from serving in that capacity again."

Politically unpopular in some cases (which local jurisdiction wants the state coming in and replacing your local school board?), but seems to be pretty effective.
