A reasonable expectation would be that Amazon doesn't know about the Facebook post, that Facebook not know about the Times subscription... etc.

Replace the left side of the expression with "Google" and you'd have what most users might expect from Incognito. That is, that Google not know about the Amazon purchase, Facebook post, or Times subscription. That Google does know, essentially, even from Incognito, is the problem.
People have even chuckled when I reached to put a seatbelt on in India. :)
Yes they are really free, freedom is not entitlement to your social media of choice. Americans are free to speak whatever they want on platforms that are available to them. They are also free to invent their own social media that doesn't have the same restrictions as the popular ones. The government doesn't interfere with this choice, but platform operators also have the freedom to not associate with certain customers.

Parlor is one option, there's also Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, the *chans, etc. There are decentralized networks like Mastodon. Neither the government or social media companies can stop you from choosing any number of social media platforms (or other communication platforms) to speak on. That is simply not the case in China.
When I visited China, I saw 11-digit phone numbers commonly written without any punctuation or spaces: like 12020569031. I guess you can get used to it.
> The solution is to use an Open Source browser, such as Firefox or some other alternative.

Serious question: Why is Chromium the default in any open source operating system? For all the talk about how Google has their own interests with regard to the web in general, and more specifically Chromium, why do Fedora/Arch/Mint/Raspbian (even Debian uses Firefox by default) include it as a default?

I realize you may not be equipped to answer this question directly, but I've been wondering this for some time, and the question seems germane to your point.
>People who start at 9 don't enjoy their morning any more than I do.

I am a morning person which means I really treasure my morning coffee and jazz music and reading time. I wake up at 7am and enjoy two sweet hours of a cold, dreamy morning before starting work fresh at 9am.

I am a night person which means I really treasure my nightly herbal tea and hip hop music and comic book time. I take a hot shower at 10pm before wandering into bed sleepy at 10:45pm.

None of this is rigid but I just feel like you are making super subjective arguments about a person's choice in time to work and sleep and live their life.
I missed an opportunity to ask in the previous thread: what would it take to link an app in a different language (say, Rust) with this library? Is it enough to just build an object file, that has libc functions assuming LP64 ABI as unresolved exports?
Blender is actually quite good for sculpting and the features set got much better with the last few versions. I'd say it's a very very light version of what ZBrush can do. The only problem is that blender's performance aren't nearly as good. The moment you subd a model for sculpting, the viewport because laggy and that's bad you're trying to paint.
'Simpsons did it' is as close as I've got.

Fortunately it can still be reverted if you are willing to compile FF yourself. I've been using Firefox Nightly for a few years (newer features + unsigned addons, and very stable) and recompile it every few weeks to update.

What ad hominem? It's not about you or your character. I am not trying to argue that your "belief" is right or wrong. This is up to you.

What I am asking is "how strongly are you willing to stand behind your belief?" It's a simple filter to check if you will continue to hold your belief if it costs you something to defend it. It's just a test of Skin in the Game.
See, now, I had heard that Microsoft was moving to open "team" sections? Was that just for the Visual Studio guys and such? I'm a huge fan of team zones where everyone in the same area works on the same immediate issues, and can also get some privacy and quite time etc.
Max Headroom is now more relevant than ever. If you haven't watched the TV series, stop what you're doing and get the binge over with.

You can't both say "I would be happy if home prices in my neighborhood went down" and "I am confident that my area will always be one where rich people want to visit." The former will only happen if the types of amenities which make rich people want to visit go away, at which point you likely will want to go away as well.
It's a multi-step process. Collect CO2. Convert it to something else. Store it.

This startup is currently focused on improving the first step. You have to collect the CO2 before you can do something with it.
Highway Autopilot is free and included on all current Teslas.

For an additional 10k you can do a software upgrade to FSD which does things like lane changes, and autopark, and summon. Someday, it will also hopefully do this for city streets (15 public users are on a beta of it right now).

But yah, you would never buy this on a Tesla, as the car includes a better version of it for free on all cars.

I was planning to move to OSX and then Yosemite happened! Been running Windows 10 Technical Preview for 2 months on an i5, 12GB laptop and it's been pretty stable. Just rebooted the machine yesterday after 4-5 days of heavy use; it didn't even need the reboot. Even computer viruses seem to have been plugged. My only grudge is with the Web Development environment and unavailability of XCode on Windows. I use Ubuntu exclusively for all web development work.

Trying to make Windows 8, OSX and Ubuntu Unity more like mobile OSes was a really bad move. All that people want is a great desktop experience, why make a small 5" touchscreen the inspiration for the desktop?!
> Not all of Iger’s bets have reaped rewards—it took the company’s gaming division five years to get out of the red

Why has Disney struggled financially with games, even with the "CTO" Bob Iger? I ask because it's the only product Disney makes that is software in the strict sense, and I wonder why they can't make it work.

Disney Infinity helped get its interactive unit out of the red. That makes a lot of sense. For a game that apes Skylanders in many ways, it leverages Disney's character and brand portfolio in a way that can't be copied.

Its other successes are naked clones. Tsum Tsum and Frozen Free Fall are canonical tired as far as genres go. They too use Disney properties, but in the most straightforward and obvious ways possible.

I liked Where's My Water. It developed an original character too. I think it was financially viable for Disney, but I can't find conclusive evidence that it was.

It's definitely possible to develop a financially viable original title by handing big capital to great talent. The best parts of Infinity Ward left to found Respawn (Titanfall), and independent Bungie is not doing too bad with Destiny.

The real question is, why don't tentpole video game developers want to work with Disney? Why didn't Disney scoop up publishing contracts for Titanfall or Destiny? Why can't it find the J.J. Abrams of video gaming and put 'em in charge of Star Wars the video game?

The answer has to be more complicated than, "The games are violent." Like Star Wars isn't violent.

My feeling is, it's not about being technologically savvy. Bob Iger, I'm sure, understands that what Pixar does requires a lot of software.

I think they just don't play games, and don't yet get what makes them entertaining. I will share a little anecdote with you: A Disney executive, interviewing at a large, passionately successful video game company, scoffed at the quip that he didn't play the game. He argued that people who didn't play the game had something to contribute to the development of its business. Suffice it to say, he was wrong, and they didn't hire him.

Sure they play Skylanders and Candy Crush and get how to clone them. But they just don't play Modern Warfare, League of Legends or Starcraft. So they should stop expecting to make games that have as much mindshare as these huge titles.

It's going to cost them a lot of money before they realize that their tastes are basically the same as young children and low tech people when it comes to games. It's why big game developers will partner with Activision and Microsoft, and why Disney will not get the respect it could easily earn.
One thing I learned from these startup weekends, too, is that it's just one weekend. You weren't necessarily forced or desperate to find a team or co-founder there, especially with it being your first startup weekend-style event. It's just a mindset.
Absolutely, you should -- for everything already said here, and more. When you interview with a company do they ask you about the project? Have their developers looked at the code in enough detail to question the design decision you've made and see what you've learned since then?
There is a difference between perfect code, nasty code, and ok code. It doesn't take much to turn a nasty patch into an ok one. Around 2002 or so I realized that all of my open source code could one day be read by someone looking to hire me. It really made me change my coding style. Taking the extra thirty seconds to review your change, make a better commit message, follow a common code style, better variable and function names, make a README (back before github) etc. The more I did this the more I benefited from it myself. I caught mistakes, it was easier to go back in the history of commits etc. In essence I became a better developer for it.

tldr; Always assume someone will be reading your code in the future for a job hire. If not for them, for you as it will make your code better.
Search for and use open source, public domain, creative commons, etc art. Make note of the artists.

When you get money, go back and email the artist(s) you liked best and ask them if they'd be willing to do some commissioned work.

I love this little hack. Sure, it may have no practical purpose; but it gave me great joy to see this. I'm still smiling.
2% is real. The US has average around 3% for years now. And since I don't believe in the tendency of the rate of profit to fall I don't think assuming at least 2% is unreasonable. But let's say zero. Does anyone really think we'll lose the ability to care for the old?

Here's the simple way to think about pensions/SS: we take about 4% of GDP and cut checks to old people. They buy food and pay their rent. Nobody starves. It always works, in 1961, 2011, 2061, whenever. Anybody who says otherwise is trying to fool you.
Eek, I imagine the dropbox guys would hate you for turning them into the RIAA's latest target
Because it costs an outrageous amount of money. I'm waiting for further development of hybrid drives, which are SSDs combined with a traditional hard drive for mass storage, but seen as one drive by the OS. The SSD is basically used a huge read cache. Current models of hybrid drives from Seagate have only 4 GB of SSD cache, which I don't feel is large enough.

> Haskell people skew smarter than most other languages.

In my experience this has nothing to do specifically with Haskell, but more a somewhat-time-varying collection of niche languages. e.g. Haskell roughly equivalent to lisp programmers roughly equivalent to [a few others], but not equally likely to find them 1998/2008/2018 or whatever.

There is a flip side though, which is that a subset of them are not actually good team members. Depending on your project and team scale and role for them this can either not really matter or be deadly.
I tried this Figma plug-in a couple weeks ago. It is magical!

What previously took me hours in Webflow, now only takes 30s (+ the extra 10-20 mins to format things correctly in Figma).

I’m looking forward to using this next time I make a portfolio.

The feature set still has some gaps but I’m quite impressed for how far it’s come in a few months.
Yes I am posting it there. Probably after a bit of a design update.
A problem with any "opinionated" framework is that people may disagree with the opinions. :)
Rotating numbers are still extremely viable with fixed card numbers - it's possible to issue a set of semi-permenant printed numbers and also offer a tool that can issue additional digits for untrustworthy retailers or strange one-off payments. The removal of digits from the card itself is a cost being levied on the customer and it provides no real benefit.
If I'm understanding your problem correctly, it seems that you can avoid it by using the --skip-magic-trailing-comma option [0].

I would add that something as complex as a web browser would be impossible on the Mac App Store anyway -- a sandboxed browser wouldn't even be able to open file:// URLs.

Berners-Lee's original web browser was developed on the NeXT (direct ancestor of OS X)... But if he wanted to take that 1991 browser and distribute it on the Mac App Store today, he would have to remove important functionality.
3 children, we only slept them in their rooms, starting day 10. Naps, day sleep, everything, they slept in their room and in their crib. The room was light controlled, meaning there was no light at all. They quickly associated any sleep with their room and their crib.

We used a baby motion sleep mat for peace of mind for SIDS, the thing was so sensitive it could detect the breathing, but if the baby moved off the mat even a little bit it sounded an alarm.

Unless a baby has colic, and we used baby dophilus for all our children to avoid any stomach or intestine issues, new babies aren't very fussy sleepers. The fussy sleeping usually happens when they get older, but by then they were accustomed to sleeping in their crib.

We never once had a crying fit, we also never forced them to sleep, sometimes, just like adults they aren't ready for sleep, those moments were few and far between and we just surfed through those times.

By 6 months all 3 children were sleeping through the nigh.

Every soon to be new parent we coached on this method had the same success, probably 40+ babies.
I was goiven Pulmicort inhalations back on March 14, 2020 when I got COVID19. Not sure if it helped (male 38, normal weight) as it hit me really hard but I did not need to go to the ER. It was some of the worst 2 months of my life, until I took something else that really helped me.
Ok, fair enough. By surrounding myself with men holding guns - do you mean law enforcement and military? In that case I don't see a disconnect between supporting issuing firearms in a highly regulated way to law enforcement, and not supporting widespread use among a population.

I don't think your Bill Gates analogy makes any sense at all. His work in his foundation, and the expertise he has access to, seems pretty removed from the size of house he chooses to live in. Is your argument that he needs a certain moral justification for warning about climate change? Or that his immense wealth disqualifies him from discussing science?
Great work!

Just checked this out. I prefer Descript. Better editing, as well as overdub.
The race car/pickup truck analogy is useful here. The F35 failed because they tried to make a vehicle that could be both a race car and a pickup truck, and wound up making one that is more expensive and worse at both jobs than building two different vehicles. Or just using existing fleets of vehicles.

Although personally I think that in the event the US military needs to scramble a bunch of F35s to serve as in legitimate air to air combat we'll have bigger problems than a costly jobs program not producing something useful.
This article puts quite a bit of focus on packaging, but I think there is a much bigger picture here. We started using store brand products more and more when the store brand products got better. Not long ago, most store brand foods were very mediocre. It’s only when companies like Costco started creating their own good house brands that my wife and I started going with store brand stuff.

With true “generic” product, a company doesn’t need to invest in good food quality. There is no brand to protect. “Kirkland”, is a decent respected brand on it’s own. You can only buy it at Costco, but you know it’s going to be decent. Trader Joe’s is similar. It’s not “generic”, it’s Trader Joe’s Brand. It’s a pretty significant difference, particularly at places like Trader Joe’s where a big portion of what they sell is their house brand.

The other significant piece of this is the ubiquity of branded stores. 30 years ago, when you went grocery shopping, you had 5 different regional supermarkets. Those supermarkets couldn’t afford to front their own brand so they went with generics as their cheap product. Now, we have so many country or even world-wide retailers that those retailers can afford their own brands. Some of them even have multiple “store brands” for their higher quality products.

The packaging is just the end-result of all of this, to have a brand, you need an identity.
Western philosophy: "You are what you eat"

Western medicine: "What you eat is nearly irrelevant as long as you are not fat, at which point it's not what you eat it's how much and how much you exercise."

Also Western Medicine: "We don't understand why we've lost credibility in broad swaths of the population! Don't you see the degrees we've granted ourselves?"

My dad's a doctor, firmly rooted in the western style of things. He's blind to some of the ways western medicine's gotten it wrong. Taints the conversations we'd have, when I AM trying to get medical advice from him.

It's hard for him to get over me not wanting to take max doeses of painkillers, 3x/day, for a week straight, to "heal" lingering back pain.

I'm like "yeah, yeah, lets skip the meds part, and talk about healthy rehabilitation via strength training and stretching and all that". And he lectures me for my ignorance and resistance to "Established Medical Science".
The only difference is that your position is in contravention of the evidence, whereas mine is backed by it. Breastfeeding pain is something the XXX vast majority XXX (ed: another commenter pointed out that only about 30% of women experience ongoing pain during breastfeeding -- so good for those who don't, but this is still a significant problem for many many women) of breastfeeding women experience. Some women are able to figure out strategies to mitigate it, but for some women the experience remains painful until weening.
That's all well and good, but copyright doesn't exist to promote the possible financial viability of art owned by megacorporations for centuries, nor does it exist to promote financial subsidies for other art. It exists, according to the Constitution, "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts ... for limited times".

Even if it did exist for the purpose of generating profit versus promoting culture and progress, I feel like many (except, of course, said megacorporation) can agree that its current incarnation is for a ludicrously, damagingly long amount of time.

In either case I'm not weeping for Hollywood; it's not like they've never made anything but a staggering profit regardless of copyright era, and if your argument is true then I'd rather have a handful fewer movies made than bow to the eternal stranglehold on all culture the current copyright regime entails.
I don't live in the US, but it's weird: downtown San Francisco people tend to look down on Oakland, but every time I've been, San Francisco is unique in having human feces on the streets.

In Oakland: there's a bunch of parks, a hacker space called the sudo room, a bunch of JS related companies included npm Inc are headquartered there and the last JSFest was there.

You can definitely try the 37signals method. Teach your customers. If your material quality is good enough, they will come to you, for free, everyday.

If you don't have an expertise yourself on marketing/advertising/writing, you can always reach out to them personally via emails. Or you can even find out their social media presence and see what they are talking about.
Actually I just gave a short nerdnite talk pointing out the shift from "branding" to "individual judgments," noting its pending arrival in education & politics, and originally calling it "the age of individuality."

I also think this will be the defining "next age of the internet," to the extent such things exist.
Well, fwiw, the binary that does exist (which does, as far as i can tell, parsing, type inference/type checking and a bunch of semantics checking, plus it walks to AST to generate code (except it doesn't actually generate code yet), so far is insanely fast, even in verbose mode (where it prints a load of shit to stdout).

As for proof of concepts, on the mailing list he has stated that ANI is more or less a natural progression from previous unreleased projects.

Having said that, I agree that focusing on getting something working before trying to make it fast is the correct way to do it...
