This, exactly. It's not a developer's job to package their code for every imaginable distro; it's their job to make the build process as simple as possible and let maintainers and users handle the packaging if they want the s

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 get of their perspective on programming

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, and some employers don't want to. So less, the job

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 fall. You don't need some 3D chess with a manufactured f

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. So yes, “most,” and it’s not especially close. I’m not cou

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 most open source projects. I’m not one of the downvoters, b

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 be affected — same for the Bronx obviously.

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 the resistance training that will help you get bette

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 potential partial explanation is a mental health condition. Certa

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?

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 the people who have their weapons seized are not

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's a guess at the rate of prevented deaths from su

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 environment where they’re available.” It doesn’t do any versi

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 install-time that Nix frowns upon. There’s definitely an up

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. Likewise there's an early DARPA project for basical

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 test products to do that, then it should

Griffin is pulling a bit of a fast one though: comparing Apollo to what the Space Shuttle turned out to be, rather what the Shuttle was promised to become. If Congress and the country had known that the choice was between a continued Apollo

This is where we need to decide if we're doing physics or philosophy. Physics is about answering specific, fairly practical questions, and the questions tell you what parts of reality you can afford to ignore. If you want to get at the
