Is it possible to adjust the keyboard repeat key delay without having to go to the Keyboard item in Control Panel yet?

Last I looked I couldn't find that option anywhere in the new Settings app.
Not at all -- the cost of makeup streams for chemicals are included in the O&M cost (table 2).

Wirecutter came to similar conclusions about the Molekule:

I think the most charitable read of the article is that he was not actually working less hours for the same pay. My read was:

- he alleges his productivity didn't change - his availability changed due to the unpredictability of his children's needs, but "he always made up the time he spent helping his sons, he said"

- he believed this was OK: "especially considering messages from upper management noting that parents with school-aged children shouldn’t be penalized"

- he alleges his direct manager was unresponsive to his communication about the change in his personal circumstances -- one imagines that he was hoping she would work with him to figure out a path forward that worked for all parties

These are just claims in a lawsuit that are yet to be tested in court. It seems to me like it's quite possible three things are true: (1) Wayfair had the right to fire him, (2) Wayfair shouldn't have fired him, and (3) even if they should have fired him, they handled it poorly.
You might be surprised how little code it takes to create a functional Rails app. We were. Here’s the actual code.
Indeed. Outsiders book treatment of this story was great.
Traditionally the discount for cash in many professions is due to avoiding tax.

i.e. a plumber will do a job for cheaper if they are paid in cash as they won't be declaring that work in their accounts - avoiding the ~20% tax that would be due otherwise.
I'd say the current biggest problem is that the highest earners simply do not pay much in taxes through loopholes and avoidance, not that taxes need to be increased across the board.

EDIT: the_gastropod's comment also under this parent is a great short summary of this issue. I second their recommendation of "Capital in the 21st Century"
This is true (I also have a MyUS account)! But then you have a "customs clearance procedure" and some shops will reject non-US credit cards - like Lenovo US - and you have to call support and "fight-it-through" or use virtual US credit card like that on privacy.com... So yes, it works, but has "unknown obstacles"...
the efficient market hypothesis is an axiom use to simplify models not an empirical fact. that's why it's a hypothesis not a law.
Why don't you think that we have police by consent in America? The police are generally accountable to elected people. What's more, they are generally fairly popular. When asked:

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way the police in the United States are doing their job?"

65% say yes, vs 26% no. https://www.pollingreport.com/crime.htm
I've been doing that sort of thing in firmware for a long time. Record the file, line number and the caller and restart. 90% of the time it's obvious what the problem is by inspection.
Why are ignoring this whole thread, full of testomies to the fact that you can't, actually, edit any of it? May be this view isn't true, but in context of this conversation intellectual honestly requires at least to acknowledge, if not meaningfully challenge it.
TLDR: The internet is making us all fucking idiots and the only way to have a miracle year is to unplug from it
> And the way to stop the trafficking is to make the industry legal, and regulated and the workers in it given protection... @chii

That's complete horseshit...

Human trafficking isn't just applied to sex workers. Human trafficking happens with butlers, maids, housekeepers, drivers, gardeners, and other house-staff.

Human trafficking is a demand problem not a supply problem. People demand slaves, so a slave market is born; period.

Human trafficking is a: 'Humans Suck', problem. Can't stop human trafficking without curing the 'humans suck' thing.

Doesn't matter the protections in place, they're there already. Doesn't matter about exposure to the issue, we all know it's happening. Doesn't matter the legal repercussions we enact, the penalties are on the books.

Doesn't matter... Humans suck, and there are those who will pay a premium for a literal slave.

Humans suck...
Yes, the accident insurance paid... but the bill was sent to me first.
Sorry, but why not just send an email to all your friends once a week?

I have no idea why we think we need to complicate our relationships with any third party...

The only reason why social media works is because it is horrible and addictive, Your product is neither of those, so it will never work.
I've seen many amateurs do it. There's been a big uptick over the past decade of people raising chickens in their back yards without having any experience or guidance. Not that you need a lot; just important to do some research.
I'm building a list of companies that do hire remote workers:

http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/telecommute/

Most of my work since 1998 has been remote, however it is a great deal of work to find the gigs. While it is possible to be a remote employee, most remote work is for consultants.

I think Haskell is a possible alternative to Go/Python/Ruby for these kinds of tasks.

But nothing's perfect. Some possible annoyances you might encounter:

* Much of the functionality required to be a valid "Python alternative" is not on the base packages. You'll have to install extra packages much sooner than with Python. And you'll have to know what packages to install.

* Despite having proper sum types, most I/O libraries in Haskell rely on exceptions for signalling errors. And Haskell has no proper stack traces. If you are not careful, you might find yourself pining for Go's multiple return values.

(Some would add "having to use the IO monad" to the list of annoyances, but I think it actually helps.)
No. People need to take a thermodynamics class. Unless you go nuclear, you're not moving away from fossil fuels anytime soon. Most all OECD nations have decided that nuclear "isn't worth the risk."

We're going to be burning coal for a long, long time.
Wifi 6 feels like the transition from 802.11b to 11g all over again i.e. having a single b-only device will cause your entire network to fall back to 11Mbps for compatibility. At least back then those devices were either quickly replaced or at least had upgradable wifi cards, and we many more monolithic phones and IoT devices to deal with.
Is this message dynamically timestamped for ~3 minutes earlier than the page view unless you’ve recently seen it, in which case it’s left the same?

- Status

- 2/25/2021, 3:15:00 PM - Outage reported

- 2/25/2021, 9:11:54 PM - We're close to resolving the issue

- Resolution Pending

Perhaps purely coincidentally, every time I’ve checked today, and in screenshots from friends, the “We’re close” timestamp has been 3 - 4 minutes earlier than the page visit.

I almost replied to you about that when you posted, then thought, surely that can’t be. But it’s happened 4 or 5 more times since, to three people.
I was mass-blocking flat-earthers, magas and other Russian bots until I got suspended for 'automated behavior'. After several suspensions I gave up the account, never looked back and found a new hobby blocking twitter on every website.
It's rather odd that Twitter still exists without my participation.
never actually thought about this perspective when shaving it off..
I don't want to keep a Twitter account. I don't want notifications when someone retweets or whatever. I just don't mess with it. I don't want the temptation to respond. I don't want some new feature from Twitter interrupting my flow. The point is to check on the people I care about hearing from and ignore all else. Anyways, you do you, this works for me.
> It's crazy how a company hire 60'000 employees and not know the labor laws of the country they operate in.

They knew the laws.. Italy is changing them retrospectively.

Both are bad, but changing the past ticks my : "That's bad form" box
And then everyone unironically agrees how terrible it is that the overworked and underpaid warehouse worker won't be able to feed his family anymore. Like these jobs were ever doing a good job of feeding anyone on the $30k they pay.
Ahh... the good old staring out the window with a drink in hand. My father invented that.
> We were all mad when IE was holding back the Internet

As I recall it, we weren't mad about IE "holding back the Internet", we were mad about IE encouraging web designers to stick a bunch of dynamic clutter such as ActiveX controls into their webpages. Largely because they created this lock-in where sites only worked well on one browser.

It turns out that JavaScript has been co-opted into being the new ActiveX, and Chrome is the new IE. But since JavaScript is nominally an open standard, and Chrome runs on the big 3 OSes, nobody seems to get mad that alternative browser projects are dying because they can't keep up with all the stuff that needs to be implemented in order to work well with sites that were only tested on Chrome and WebKit.
The problem is that most of the world is not going to be using these powerful phones, and in the parts of the world where you can use them, operators are already killing unlimited data plans.

You are living in a dream world if you think compression is going away any time soon.
Yeah, there's no agreed convention on how the infoset of an XML document (which I should have used rather than DOM) ought to be represented in JSON, and generally people don't do it (e.g., RDF/JSON isn't a direct mapping from RDF/XML, but a new format to express the same basic facts), it's just technically possible.
The problem we're discussing is how does one determine who the "best" teachers are? Gates did not propose a solution to this problem. I submit that, being a government school system, such a solution will involve a bureaucratic rule that will inevitably be gamed.

Note that the current system of determining the best as being a bureaucratic rule-based combination of seniority and educational level is a recognized failure. I guarantee you that all the alternative rules proposed in this thread can be easily gamed as well.

This is in spite of the fact that anyone working in a school (including the students) knows who the best and worst teachers are, and don't need any rule to tell them.
Well if the degree was worthwhile, they will get the bonuses for doing well and still be OK. Otherwise what are we paying for?
By "built against" do you mean mean "Base SDK" or "iOS deployment target" in Xcode? My base SDK is 4.2 but deployment target is 3.2 (it's iPad-only). Am I fail..?
Won't this leave all multi-byte values in network endianness?
killer app != favorite app. And Android doesn't need a killer app at this point.
I can't speak for the parent comment, but saying that "Diffie-Hellman" is a good answer to the problem of establishing a secure channel over an untrusted medium is like saying "plutonium" is a good answer to the problem of submarine propulsion.
Yes, because Opera Mini can run on faster phones, but most sold phones are still the cheap ones, and that isn't changing any time soon.

And with operators cutting down on data plans, limited bandwidth isn't going away any time soon either.
Ios or android? I have had great success with conversations on android
If you're over 45 and really smart, you should already have great connections and/or capital built up using your personal investments. Actually what I realized when I was 30, is that at that point the only way I was able to get an interview was through my connections...through my ex collegaues I could get an interview with any company I wanted to in 1 day though (I just didn't try that first).
Agreed; codec2 doesn't alter speech as aggressively, require proprietary components, or have as strong a connection to Google.
OP was responding about stocks being just as much "multi level marketing" because you still need someone to sell the shares to, someone willing to pay more for it than you did. So it is actually irrelevant to scarcity or "intrinsic value".
My favorite legal defense, moral relativism.

"One day, this heinous crime I have committed might not be illegal. Knowing that, how can you possibly convict me!?"
> This is incorrect. Stock represents actual ownership of a scarce resource (a company). That company would have value whether or not it was explicitly sold as a stock. The value doesn’t come from the stock.

Depending on the voting rights embedded in the share, your ownership is likely meaningless. It doesn't guarantee you rights to dividends necessarily and even if it does, the company can just choose to never issue a dividend (like Amazon). It doesn't necessarily grant you voting rights for the Board of Directors either. Worse, you have to go through a 3rd party broker to buy a share or trust a company like Robinhood to hold your shares for you. As we saw with GameStop, they can rug pull on you at any time. With decentralized cryptos like BTC & ETH, that can't happen from your own private wallet. You can always transact.

Cryptos such as BTC & ETH are provably scarce, not artificially scarce. You can validate supply at any time by running your own node and joining the network. You don't need anyone's permission to do that. It's a public blockchain.
That's probably a good point, I'm using GrapheneOS which is not identifiable to Google/Apple and can't be singled out for updates.
Or you could use a dedicated SSID (vlan) with AP client isolation enabled.
Only 70 and 90. 80 is still 4-20. In French-speaking Belgium, anyways.
>He admits climate change is real and we need to do something about it... but the main problem is the media, which is trying to claim climate change is real and we need to do something about it, but they are too scary about it.

My understanding of it is a bit different. He disagrees with the impact of climate change as described by mass media. He also disagrees with how the problem should be addressed.

In my opinion there is definitely a lot of hyperbole in describing climate change consequences as well as talking about what can be done to deal with it.

One example is the "green new deal" proposed by few US senators. It aims to amongst other things replace all internal combustion cars in US, replace _all_ power generation with renewables and to make _all_ buildings in US net zero emissions in next 12 years. This is clearly impossible, but it goes on, one of the many goals for those 12 years in addition to replacing all the vehicles and upgrading all buildings in US is "jobs with guaranteed living wage provided to everyone by the federal government". There are other things in there (single payer healthcare etc) that could be achieved, but by lumping them into one document with impossibilities authors ensure none of them will actually be achieved.

Bear in mind this is not a wish list, or some sort of statement of direction. That would be fine. It is fairly normal to aim high when setting overall strategies, but this proposal is something that would be put into law and would be expected to be fulfilled in 100%. If this is not the best example of applied climate change hysteria I don't know what is.
Almost all arts organizations are going to rely heavily on grants and development as their main funding sources. Trying to run a ballet company on ticket sales alone is going to be almost impossible. You need to develop a marketing plan to attract small donors and work with your leadership team to secure corporate donations and/or other large gifts.
I owned an Aztek and it was actually one of my more favorite cars because I could sleep in it if needed. I also really loved the Honda Element. I spend many a night at a beach and was very comfortable.
Yes, B5 was an aggressive adopter of digital technology. The driver was costs. Models were expensive, and if they could be replaced by CGI, the cost of making the show could be dramatically reduced. B5 was being produced for the syndication market, which was a different animal than the usual networks, and doing it cheaper while retaining quality was a major goal. Short lived competitor "Space: Above and Beyond (which lasted one season) used models, with production costs over $1,000,000 per episode, and that was a major reason they only lasted a season. B5 did use Amiga and Video Toaster in the beginning, though I believe they transitioned to other equipment later. J. Michael Straczynski's partner Doug Netter had a company called Netter Digital that did the work. JMS commented that when he did pitch meetings with possible networks that would air the show, it was him and a 5 minute clip of their CGI renderings. When I saw the first episode opening, with the Vorlon craft emerging from hyperspace to dock at Babylon 5, I sat back open mouthed going "Whoa". I'm a computer guy, and had some notion of what it took to do that
and why can't we write it like you just did, with outer to inner dimensions going from left to right, i.e. in the same order the indices go when we actually use elements?
Even better. Elon says[1] that a pressurized version will be available for deployment on Mars (not joking).

> in English, words like “twelve” or “eleven” don’t give many clues as to the structure of the number itself... Contrast this with Mandarin Chinese, where the relationship between the tens and the units is very clear. Here, 92 is written jiǔ shí èr, which translates as “nine ten two”... Psychologists call systems like these “transparent”, where there is an obvious and consistent link between numbers and their names.

Relatedly, I've been thinking a lot lately about programming style conventions, and how some people prefer very explicit code while others prefer implicit. For example, something as "simple" as leaving out the return keyword where it can be omitted at the end of a function versus leaving it in. The latter can be called "transparent", whereas the former requires a little deeper knowledge of the system.
No need for rude personal attacks thank you.
From personal experience, many people will treat conversation as a business event where sharing of facts is paramount. Certainly around my parents and their family, the tendency to railroad towards references, prepared stories and newspaper citations is overwhelming. Original criticism and self-reflection is too confrontational or vulnerable for them. Pauses and silences are considered "awkward" and to be avoided. Decorum is of high importance. This creates a stifling, repetitive conversational flow as they get to ruminate out loud on the same thoughts over and over, without really exploring anything.

Gradually, I've recognized the artifice that goes into these constraints and their denial of the human condition - especially since I can observe them become increasingly unprepared to perform this task as they get older and so lean on me more and more to drive the topics, while getting agitated and defensive if I deviate from the chosen railroad.

Germany paid workers to work less hours. Socialist as hell and extremely effective.
Damon (plus the rest of that trilogy), Dune - those are two recent favorites off the top of my head
That may be true (tough 3.1% seems awefully high, I tought the number closest to 0.1%) but the thing is people rarely think of themselves as criminal. I certainly wouldn't because consider myself a criminal because of illegally downloaded files.

I may have been mislead by the fact that in my language (French) there's a very fine distinction between a crime (un crime) and an offence ("un délit"), in that the former carries a sense of gravity, while the later is just an infraction.
Agreed. The mystification of what computers do is a worrying trend.

For now, at least, computers can't do anything at all interesting or remarkable. They can, however, do boring things really really fast. And lots of boring things, done really really fast, can yield some pretty impressive results.

But it doesn't change the fact that what computers actually do is utterly trivial. Anything interesting they achieve is the result of algorithms programmed by very intelligent and sophisticated human beings.

That's a clear, qualitative difference from any real AI. When computers are creative, when they start doing things that haven't been done before, without the direct programming of any human, then a computer can truly be said to be "in control."
98 banks is somewhat less than 1/5 of the total TARP-bailed-out institutions.
Out of curiosity, which medication were you taking?
I guess there is a bias that keeps perpetuating itself. I've made the same experience with Italians. On the other hand, here in Germany economics seem to be quite niche (and terrible), while our CS, Math and Engineering research is world-class.
Whatever glass they put in there will essentially be a commodity. They will have lots of options for getting it manufactured and so on.
Late 2021.
The rationalisation here is mindblowing.

By the same logic, no company should ever be held responsible for harm to users of their products caused by product defects: after all, they never made any claims regarding their products being safe to use.
I’d love to talk to you or your friend if you don’t mind. My contact details are on my HN profile.
Probably not better treatment but my private insurance almost always gets me faster appointments. I just mention the magic word and suddenly there’s an available slot next week (otherwise only in a few months). Happened more than once.

My insurance broker said that the price I pay now should cover future payments and increases are only allowed if there are some overall increases to the treatment options. ie new more expensive treatments become available... so cost can increase but within certain boundaries. Was I misguided on that one?
I think it's more that something in the economic system is just mismanaged or broken.

If I could take a pill and get an extra year of healthy life, I would pay a lot for that pill.

If I could take a pill (or vaccine, or whatever) and never get sick again, I would pay a lot for that pill.

If you could make 7.5 billion people never get sick, I assume that would make you far richer than Jeff Bezos.

Surely these solutions and others are worth more than a lot of the other things we buy. But our system isn't set up to develop them, it seems. We're set up to pursue quarterly earnings statements, rather than 10 or 20 year goals that would dramatically improve our lives.

Also, I'm not sure that our current meaningless software jobs are actually completely meaningless. We are actually making tasks easier and faster, which in some way does contribute to society advancing faster and maybe someday being better able to pursue other goals.

Life is significantly different and at least in some ways better thanks to Amazon (get anything anywhere), Google (search everything), Wikipedia (basic knowledge about almost anything), the internet (communicate with anyone), Coursera (learn basic skills on many topics), and so on. And even the simple e-commerce websites for some family business, made by a "web developer" for $500 in 1998, helped push us a little bit toward a more discoverable and efficient economy. Which does help us get a little bit more efficient overall, for goals we might pursue later.

Or at least that's how I convince myself to keep doing what I'm doing.
Care to elaborate?

I live in a social democratic country and will gladly answer any uncertainties you might have.

But would a real racing car driver be able to compete in the game? It's kinda obvious that the other way around wouldn't work very well, but what about this?
