Thanks for the nice comments.

But I only think this because I have had the experience many times in the past!

I feel the best place to focus my creative energy is on making livestreams, doing speeches, and just on day-to-day programming.

Putting effort into a posting here often doesn't take too much energy, but it does take some, and I'd rather put it into something bigger than mostly toss it away.
> If there's logic or design that's complicated and not properly commented or documented, then that's worth doing and sharing with the team

It's the meta also, it is capturing the models mentally and ideas and notes. This reduces cognitive load, and actually by making notes increases the chances of you remember something.

> And stuff I learn is learned, so I don't need to write that down :-)

Hey if thats the case then fine, but generally memory deteriorates, recall becomes more difficult and the details change.

> Working in a team, shared information is critical and logbooks just aren't the best way to achieve that.

Log books are not generally for the team, they are for you.

But as you say each to their own.

Phew, I thought they were talking about email spam coming back. This article is a bit clickbaity, and sorta tricks you into continuing to read until you figure out it's talking about social media, telephone, and SMS spam (by giving examples of people making progress against email spam, talking about email spam being a thing of the past).

As a small email system operator, I have seen spam fluctuate greatly. In my case it accounts for around 99% of connections, and 95% of successful connections (valid reverse dns, working STARTTLS), but today it only accounted for about 10% of successful connections. Miraculously, I have seen penny stock spam in 2017.
Wow, this is incredible.

It's quite frightening and raises some issues, however, that as first-person shooters evolve, we'll be desensitized to shooting more realistic humans.
Neat. Seems like a powerful way to do most common key remapping without a kext like Karabiner Elements.

Violence, poverty and deprivation are the state of nature. The way all the evils of the world are laid at the feet of the West has no rational basis. The counterfactual against which West influence is compared is always a blissful utopia that never existed and never could have existed.

If you want to blame the refugees on what the West did, how about the fact that most of these people (most of whom are economic migrants, by the way) would literally not have existed without Western science and technology? Check out the population graphs, look at how many people the land could support before modern medicine, the green revolution etc.
Ironically, the problem of spam has created another weird problem. I'm not sure what's the right kind of thing to describe them, so I'll call them the ambulance chasers of the email world. But that doesn't sound right. Some kind of leech, patent troll, and mafia rolled into one?

Last week, one of my organization's user email accounts was hacked. It started getting used to send out spam. We caught it pretty quickly and updated the password so that the spammers couldn't use it anymore. But it was too late, we got listed on several spam blacklists. As such, all emails from our mail server started going into recipient mailbox spam folders. OK, we just get ourselves off of the spam blacklists, right?

Most of the spam blacklists gave us one of two options. First option was to manually request removal, some of them required sending an email to confirm what had happened and why we're confident the problem didn't exist anymore. Easy. Second option was to wait as their service monitored our email services to confirm if we were still sending out spam. If after a few days they confirmed that the spammy behaviour had stopped, we'd be automatically removed from their blacklist. Annoying wait, but reasonable methodology.

Then the annoying ones. One spam blacklist would not remove us for a week, though we could expedite the process by paying them $106 USD. Otherwise, we have a week of going into people's spam folders. It's a friggin racket. Dare I say even extortion? The other annoying spam blacklist said that we could not get removed from their list because we were on several other spam blacklists, including the blacklists that required us to wait a few days for them to monitor our email behaviour, AND the spam blacklist that wanted us to wait a week if we didn't pay $106 USD. So we're on one spam blacklist for a week due to not willing to pay extortion fees, and on the other spam blacklist for a week because they're too meta to develop their own spam blacklisting mechanisms and just follow what other blacklists are doing. The meta blacklist annoys me more than the extortioner. Why are they checking whether we're on other spam blacklists? They should be depending purely on their own capability to identify spammers, not the capability of other organizations. Why do they even exist? There's no value added by being meta here.

It really annoys me.

I spent most of today in the hospital because of a lingering blood clot issue due to a weightlifting injury, exacerbated by some long distance traveling last week that involved long periods of just sitting. I woke up with extreme pain and swelling, and knew I immediately needed to go to the ER and miss my flight :(.

Long story short, the pain was intense enough that I acquiesced and agreed to some hydromorphone. I've never had opioids in my life, and after this experience will likely refuse them from now on. The "high" was immediate (since taken intravenously) and was fairly intense. I can see how people so easily get addicted to this stuff. If medical cannabis is a decent substitute (I know that's not the point of this paper) it seems like a thing we should explore.
Mate, please, stop with the Blockstream FUD. Blockstream make up only 20% of commits on Bitcoin. Find another strawman.

There is not a 1MB limit, the limit was lifted with the implementation of segwit, as it changed the counting mechanism to weight instead of size, as a result, you can now push upto 3.7MB worth of tx into a block.

Your proposition is wrong and people like you who constantly spout it should be called out and shamed like the fucking charlatans that you are. Blockstream has no financial interest in having Segwit, LN or anything else implemented. They have DEFENSIVE patents against the technology to stop trolls from holding up the development process. Please, locate yourself to Google Patents and search for Blockstream, then consult their Open Patents disclosure for further confirmation that you are wrong and have taken the bait of companies who have an interest in deriding the current decisions of Core.

Core is implementing a variety of changes in the future that will put many businesses against Core out of business.

Cross chain atomic swaps = exchanges
More private transactions = anyone doing blockchain analysis (lolgarzik)
Lightning Network = miners and anyone who processes transactions.

The most painful part of your opinion is that you can't extrapolate network rules and see that in the next 2 years, rewards are going to half, meaning that if we drop TX fees now, it will make it even harder to pull miners back. By implementing a simple situation for on-chain settlement, miners still make decent returns down the line.

Please, if you have any interest in Bitcoin, and have any decent brain about you, call people like this out for being the corporate sockpuppets they really are.
Either that, or article writing AI is getting surprisingly good.

I've been using org-mode for about ten years to document moment-to moment progress on tasks. I'll give a basic summary of the problem, copy in significant commands and results as I run them, and ask the next questions to drive the next steps.

Some features that make Org useful for this:

- I'm clocked into the task so I can always jump to it easily, even as I hop around other emacs buffers

- supports code snippets with formatting in any language

- it's easy to add timestamped notes or write in free form

- can export the subtree to HTML or Markdown or Latex/PDF, to share with others

- GitLab will apply basic Org formatting (as with markdown), so I can share them directly just by pushing

- supports regex search across all agenda files, regardless of where they are. This is nice if, say, I know I had a similar issue with e.g. some docker command but don't remember which project it was on
I think a janitor has some advantages going for him which are pretty rare in our thing, as well as fewer issues overall.

For example, the janitor probably has concrete and relatively unchanging definitions of success in his work. His job has tangible effects every day on those he provides his service to. There aren't many janitorial meetings. He probably doesn't have to massage the ego of his boss. To my knowledge, there are no Sanitation Reviews where some coworker will criticize him for not following the One True Sanitation Style or the latest fad in Toilet Driven Development. His profession is not constantly put in the critical spotlight by the media as a front line in the culture wars. There's no such phrase as "janitor bro" which people use to stereotype and demean them.

Focusing just on "I make $X, they make $X/4, how can I complain" downplays a lot of conditions which can make some people in this line of work very bitter about it.

Usability feels like a second hand citizen to me, when it comes to things like window management / snapping. I come from a very windows-heavy background, so I appreciate the shell experience provided by OSX, but really hate the ear-flicks of trying to use multiple apps simultaneously, and snapping between them, positioning them, etc, in an OSX world.

To be fair, this could be a training / learn-ability issue that may not be present had I learned OSX first.

Yes, you are delusional. How do you define new technology that is "good natured"?

The reason DARPA is studying this it seems is to reduce its casualty rate to research new ways to treat mental illness. If you can do that you will spend less and also keep people alive. A bunch of medical research has been created for this motivation.

ARPA created the prototype to the internet. (ARPANet). The catch of the internet is that it allowed for people to disseminate information faster than anything before. You get the good (advancement of science) and the bad (misleading people).

DARPA is in the business of moonshots. They are all about high risk / high reward.

Its more likely the stuff you don't hear about didn't work in the first place.

"I video record showing both the game controller and the screen with a 240 fps camera" https://superuser.com/q/419070/2269

So, it's total response times from key press on a game controller to screen that is important not individual components. Sure, 0.04 seconds on it's own is not a big deal, but when 5 or six things take 0.04 seconds you hit noticeable delays.

Ford didn't take a bailout for two reasons. First, they had borrowed a bunch of money before the GFC and so had capital that GM and Chrysler didn't.

Second (and more important), taking a bailout would have meant no dividends. Many Ford family members rely on dividends as primary income.

Yes, it takes some initial effort, but it only needs to be done once.

It needs to be redone for each platform every few years as apis and visual styles change. Cross platform libraries are notoriously hard and usually end up in the uncanny valley (qt, swing etc).

Platform vendors of course any devs to buy into just one platform, they want and need the lock-in. Using web UI is a way to sidestep that.

I hope the day that we find something not predicted by the standard model is within my lifetime. That bastard has been right far too long, and we know very well that it isn't compete. To the physicists out there fighting the good fight, we salute you.
Online comments are like online petitions: ostensibly “listening” to keep the masses from calling/mailing their representatives or the FCC directly. Persuasion requires messages that are difficult/impossible to ignore: culturally and politically.

Does it work for other arbitrary keys?
It's fortunate that society is like that.
Apple feels like a hot mess right now. I spilled water into my wired keyboard, so they gave me a wireless one. The volume controls on it don't work. No magic combination of the Function key and F11 and F12 (I think? It's not in front of me) would work. The keyboard viewer showed a big blank. Plugging it in and turning off the wireless feature did nothing.

I stuffed it into a desk drawer, and stole one from the desk of a departed coworker. If I spill water in that, I might ask them to order me another wired one, if Apple still bothers making them.

I know it's a small thing. But reaching over to my laptop to adjust the volume, or hunting for it with my mouse is annoying. It's one small papercut out of many.

I am running coderfit.com - a tech recruiting agency - after working for three years as a Python/Javascript engineer.

I would say recruiting is like poker, you should be skillful in what you do, but it also depends on the cards you get (good candidates that look for jobs now & clients that don't suck).

So "recruiting progress" is much harder to predict than - let's say - a software project, where things are much more deterministic because you don't depend on people so much saying yes to what you offer them.

Also, a big question is, do you want to do linkedin-spam (outbound) or build a reputation writing high-quality content and play the "long-game" or do something entirely different? What do you hire your recruiter for? What should he/she do?

I've never used Bitpay, but according to their docs, the process is:

1. The merchant tells Bitpay the USD value of the transactions

2. Bitpay calculates a BTC value based on current exchange rates

3. Bitpay sends an invoice to the customer valid for 15 minutes

4. If the transaction to transfer BTC is broadcast on the network prior to the invoice expiring, Bitpay will honour their initial quote.

5. Once 6 blocks have confirmed the transaction, Bitpay transfers the original USD amount to the merchant

So in this case, Steam doesn't do the price conversion at all, only Bitpay does. And Bitpay only does it once, when the invoice is issued. It appears that the user either transferred an incorrect amount, OR he waited more than 15 minutes to start the transaction, OR (as some are suggesting) Bitpay is being nefarious and not honouring their quote.
The robocalls are dirt cheap. Even the people aren't that costly. You only need a few suckers.
Based on a some of the comments so far I think people are glossing over the key elements of the logbook. This isn't simply an activity log.

The first step is to describe the nature of the problem as well your planned solution before beginning. I think this can be a pretty powerful practice in being mindful.

All to often I find myself jumping into a half-baked solution while at the same time having only half-understood the problem.

This is not about enabling the F4 key, it is about enabling the Dashboard key which has been disabled for the last few versions of macOS.

Dashboard and F4 share a physical key but they are not the same and you can hold down Fn to switch between the two, regardless of the keyboard preferences. To be clear, this advice would generally apply only when you have "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" switched OFF in the keyboard preferences.

If you're using these keys as regular function keys, they work as regular function keys and have always done so.
Science and thus mankind will only benefit from this experiment, regardless of the outcome.

I have my own age, but I don't give a damn for HD+ videos. It was cool to see demo videos of coral and landscape in stores but ... even the best tv show or movies won't bring me much joy in 4K. That's optimizing the wrong parameters IMO.

3D could be of help, but so far 1) people didn't find how 2) people barely tried. I remember being disappointed by Avatar because the story was so obvious and rehashed... I went to see a few 3D movies (beside thor I think none surprised my senses). And last year Avatar 1 was on TV. I was shocked, the framing was so amazing. I thought, 1) Cameron knows how to film action 2) the live virtual set he had for Avatar made his 3D 'animation' much more tactile/tangible. No other movie had this, they were average 2D shots with more tech. Reminded me how Scott's Alien 1 has more depth than most 3D movies in the first 10 seconds. Something how they approached movie making, real sets (something star wars went back to, ironically after being one of the major step into virtual sets).

For video games, I can't deny that the 3rd dimension brings something, but for aesthetics or story telling it's moot. The beauty is elsewhere. And some games are doing just that, they will toy with representation and mix hires 3D environment with pixelated characters. Its oddity makes the games interesting and mysterious.

I really do believe that our brain likes 2D representations, and attach emotions and meaning to them; paintings and old games were tickling this sense. The hyper realism (which I ran for too) is tickling another sense, and not the right one.
