Well sure, feeling good is not the end goal and shouldn't become the end goal. That doesn't mean it should be dismissed or avoided.

Tasting good is not the end goal of food, nutrition is. I think the pushback might make more sense thinking about it that way. Suppose the OP had written a post talking about how healthy kale was:

> "It's super healthy, and if you cook it right, it tastes amazing too!"

> "That's disillusioning yourself just like every form of cooking does. The point of healthy eating is not to satisfy your taste buds."

Lots of things in the world can become a trap, but that doesn't mean they should always be avoided. I think sometimes people forget that empathy and morality are work. It takes reinforcement. Being "good" is something you learn and practice, it's not a binary switch you turn on and off.

So in other words, if I'm Cookie Monster, and I'm on the fence about donating blood, and somebody tells me that the Red Cross always supplies free cookies afterwards (and even apple juice sometimes, heck yeah) and that's just enough to push me over the fence to donate blood - good. I'm glad someone told me that then. I'm going to take advantage of any instinct that makes me more likely to help someone.

And, yeah, maybe it'll become a problem sometime and I'll not want to help out with an event that doesn't have free cookies. Then I'll switch to a variable reward schedule to help ingrain the habit, or I'll start weaning myself off of cookies, or whatever. But the point is to start somewhere.

If I start doing sit-ups, I'm absolutely going to have someone hold my feet because my core strength isn't going to be there at the beginning. Empathy is a muscle; treat it like one.

Another way of looking at it is that the people you are helping usually don't care about your internal morality. So by all means, focus on your internal morality - but only if it doesn't get in the way of you helping them. During a blood shortage, you get no moral points for saying "well, I didn't donate blood because I didn't think I could do it in a truly selfless way."
Intellect is choosing between options. If you dont get to choose and usually circumstances or people in power determinate every aspect of your existence- this tool gets rusty.
That's an interesting hypothetical, but there's no way someone could donate blood "full time" to earn a living wage. There's an upper bound to how fast one can produce blood, and a high proportion of people are capable of doing it, so each person can represent at most a miniscule proportion of total supply. It would be like making a career out of football if almost everyone were equally fit and talented and lots of people played all the time for fun and there were no NFL.
Except of course there’s no “rehabilitation of Nazi Germany in alt right circles”. They despise that shit as much as the liberals do. Don’t believe everything CNN tells you.

> *I’d have expected Lightning to remain but the other end of the cable should've either switched to USB-C...”

Use the iPad Pro 29W USB-C charger (or Anker’s USB-C chargers, etc.) and Apple’s USB-C to Lightning “Power Delivery” (USB-C PD) cable, you can ultra fast charge iPhone X, iPads, etc., and yes, you can charge it from current Macs or other brand laptops with USB-C.
I think the problem for me is that I use several different machines and they all feel similar enough that when I had to use the MBP it was so different that I never got totally used to it. Maybe it if were my only machine I would be okay with it in the long term. Guess I will never know though.
Yes, I understand that there're people in the community who try to fix the problems. But it's really unfortunate, that Canonical tells us that it's secure whereas it's not: https://snapcraft.io/

>Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification.

I think the author tried to give an example of an incomplete theory. Euclid's geometry minus the parallel postulate is an instance of that as the two different models show.
If nothing can be done, then there should be no claims of security.
Millennials. They think it’ll work this time. Just as soon as we shoot everyone who disagrees, the eternal utopia will arrive.
Yes this is why I had to have a full replacement. Apparently Apple have to return the unit to their factory (in China?) to be stripped and reused.
Also, compare the wording on the snap store:

My B, and Up/Down Arrow keys were either hard to press or would “double” events. I now have a compressed air bottle next to my desk. It seems to do its job but I never had to do this with my previous MacBooks!

Another issue I face is pain in my first finger joints (right below the fingernail bed) after a long day of typing. Maybe I just have heavy fingers but the old softer keys were less harsh.

Another unrelated (we’ll it is like a keyboard, right? :) issue is the TouchBar requiring two taps for most things. I even have my TouchBar as “static” with just a few buttons.
Now the oil makes me wonder if this was a tool in how the Romans conquered - better marching on their own supplies since their culture had a fatty food staple?
Both of you guys are posting from your real accounts a politically correct statement but you guys have showed no evidence that your method is really the superior one.

Nor have you. Feel free to post your results and the amazing, rich, fulfilling lifestyle you've built for yourself.

It's telling that you had to post this from a throwaway. I don't blame you; I certainly wouldn't want my clients knowing I was defrauding them the way that you are.

I'm actually skeptical that you've even gotten this to work to any degree. I'm sure you've fooled a few people, but the jump to $500/hr is so huge and transparently exploitative that only the most naive of clients would be fooled. My guess is that you're struggling to make this work but you think it's the only way, which is sad.

People at exon, large banking companies, stock brokers can make promises and a consultant/contractor can't change his mind?

Unclear on what you're trying to say here, but the bottom line is that you're not changing your mind. You're lying to the client upfront so you can exploit them later.

No body cares about building sustainable business, most just want enough cash to retire peacefully.

Not true at all, and it's sad that you see the world this way, as a battle between success and ethics. Many (but not all) of the most successful people I know have a very high standard of integrity for themselves and others. None of them engage in the kind of fraud that you're espousing.
I'm actually shocked that Apple doesn't offer an exchange program -- bring us your USB-A to Lightening cable and we'll switch it out for a USB-C cable.
Very cool! How are you generating the tags?
One proposal regarding utilitarian design: As this already uses old school blue links, it would be nice to also have visited links in purple. Like in the olden days :) Makes a collection of links much more useful.

For many people here the finances of their tech are not a concern. It’s the source of our income so minor efficiencies can have a big impact on productivity and income. For me any reasonable expense that I will gain value from is worthwhile.

If you are a software engineer and you are concerned about $100/year in cost for your backup system, you might want to consider your priorities.
Someone else in this thread tried a self-repair, it failed, and he/she had to pay $700 in the end to get it fixed. If you want to sell your MBP anyway, get your new laptop / replacement, then send in your MBP for repair.
This is an oversimplifying response to an article that brings some nuance into history of the period.

Understanding history is not just about passing verdicts on the outcomes with the benefit of hindsight. It's about understanding the process of change, why it happened, and how people living at the time viewed the changes and reacted to them.

An article like this sheds light on a lot of those topics, including people's beliefs about their economic rights at that time. It corrects common misconceptions about the Luddites. It demonstrates that the outcomes of the Industrial Revolution were not inevitable, and that people's understanding of what was going on at the time was very different than our understanding of it today. It opens the door to further research for people interested in the topic. It doesn't deserve a handwavy dismissal.
Why not run random docker images? As far as I understand, docker container are pretty solid. Not super solid but solid enough.
Maintenance-only usually means deprecated. There are some areas in the software world where maintenance-only can last a long time and can be de facto LTS. The Kubernetes ecosystem is not one of them.

The captialists had a very rational (if self-interested) reason to dislike the luddites. They just viewed straw men as an effective tactic.
No need for async reset in most FPGA flows--the flops all start at zero, or whatever you initialize them to. Adding one anyways may bloat your area, and has no benefit. (Like, if you don't trust the FPGA's own power-on-reset logic, then how do you expect it to get configured?)

If anyone working at Apple is reading this, know that this keyboard has cost you two laptop purchases from me alone.

At work I still use a 15" MBP from four years ago. I would have happily updated by now (if nothing else, because the anti-glare coating peeled off in the center of the screen); instead, I'm going to keep it until you abandon the butterfly keyboard.

And for my personal machine, I have an even older 13" laptop. I was going to buy a 13" MBP, but I won't buy anything that has that butterfly keyboard.
I would be really surprised if the miner is contributing any major portion of that size. I just did a very basic search and a random miner I found has binary sizes <1MB

edit: apparently the actual game is based on https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048 which is HTML+JS, so probably the Snap was bundling in Chromium/Electron, which explains the size.
A snap package may ask for elevated permissions. In that case, it goes for manual review.

But if it does not ask for special permissions, then it goes in automatically. Because the app is quite confined.

Compared to other package repos, here it's somewhat better.
You are missing the dash that the line starts with

Yes, they maybe win the counter for published apps compared to flathub. Congratulations!
Why did they do this? Their touch pads have been the best in the world for a long time, and they screwed it up. Another big one for me was the removal of the magnetic charging port. That was the single greatest part of the computer and they took it away.
> Lightning: mechanically it's the best connector I've ever seen.

Sorry, that’s only true because you mostly see the male end of connectors. Lightning has multiple severe design problems:

- Cables that plug into things have moving parts. There are springy electrical contacts and springy mechanical bits that hold the connector in. These parts wear out. A good design puts all the moving parts on the cable’s end, which may be less attractive but means that, when they inevitably wear out, replacing the cable solves the problem. With Lightning, the parts that wear out are in the socket, where they’re out of sight but can’t be easily replaced.

- There’s something wrong with the electrical contact design. Even on the Apple store, all the male Lightning connectors that aren’t very, very new look a bit scorched on one of the center pins. I don’t know whether this is due to arcing when the connection is made or broken or due to insufficient contact area or pressure.

To add insult to injury, when the socket fails, Apple will not replace it. Either you get a third-party replacement or you replace the whole phone.

Sorry, but even disregarding compatibility, Lightning is attractive but is otherwise shitty.
Good article. It has everything - a problem and a good solution to this problem.
The snap packages can either ask for elevated privileges or ask for standard access. In the former, they go through some manual review.

I do not know if there are any auto checks when the package is added automatically.
Wayland solves some of these issues.
It does not appear that "static binary rewriter" in this context means that it turns dynamically linked binaries into statically linked binaries, so probably not.
Strongman competitors consume insane amount of calories: Hafþór is reportedly on a diet with more than 10000, Brian Shaw posted a video a year ago about his 12000+ diet.
Calling something an anecdote is not saying it is untrue. Anecdotes can be entirely true yet still tell us nothing about the prevalence or significance of the described activity. And I never stated that the kind of activity described in your anecdote never happened. (Please provide a citation for this assertion.) I stated such activity was not the reason for the reduction in the population of indigenous Americans. Who do you think my ancestors are and why do you think this? My ancestors had nothing to do with any of this. And there is no such thing as moral purity, not that I would care about it if there were. What we like we call good (moral) and what we don't like we call bad (immoral) and that's the entire scope of what "morality" is. You should engage in some self-reflection and evaluation regarding your own poor reasoning abilities before criticizing those of others.

I didn't. I didn't even bother looking up where I could find those strips. I just cut carbs down to almost zero, eating carbs-free + controlled, small amounts of carbs. I paid attention to stay under 20g of carbs per day. I was never really sure I was in full ketosis - I just started to follow the diet, noticed some changes in urine that may or may not indicate ketosis (I definitely didn't have the intensive smell some people describe), and tracked my weight daily.

It worked well over couple of months. Actually, I found the chart I made then:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vdlgazsfjjbqkox/weight-2012.png?dl...

(Measurements are blue, running average (of AFAIR a week) is green. I used the running average as an indicator of progress, to eliminate measurement noise / daily variations.)

That ~8-10kg drop in 3 months is when I was on ketogenic diet. I carried it a bit longer, then I guess at some point I just decided I miss pizza too much. One permanent change this caused though, that I have to this day, is that I switched from sugar to artificial sweeteners in my tea/coffee, and always opt for sugarfree coke/pepsi instead of the regular one.
>Doesn't immigration law in America apply equally to immigrants from everywhere?

Isn't part of the whole immigration debate in America the fact that Latinos find it easy to illegally immigrate here? Asians literally have whole oceans to cross to get here. Many Latinos can get on a truck and just drive across the border.

You also can see huge income differences between African immigrants and native-born African-Americans. This has less to do with mindset and more to do with the selection bias TheCoelacanth mentioned. Immigrants from Asia, India, Africa, etc. will be more financial successful because they are deliberately selected for.
My spouse who's a Canadian lawyer said a number of Canadian laws have referenced American (and historically more importantly British) law as examples during proceedings but they can't be cited directly as precedent case-law.

It's just a helpful data point when establishing new laws and assisting judges to form their legal opinions in cases without existing examples within Canadian law... and I'd assume also inspire Canadian lawyers to form their own class actions when they've already been tested in American courts.

I was just curious if foreign parties could play any role in American ones, which I doubt is the case.
Thoughtful, well-researched post.

People reading this may be interested in Lord Byron's first speech to the House of Lords as well, which was a full-throated defense of the Luddites. As you might guess, it's beautifully written. It also nicely magnifies the historical irony of Byron fathering Ada Lovelace.

"Considerable injury has been done to the proprietors of the improved frames. These machines were to them an advantage, inasmuch as they superseded the necessity of employing a number of workmen, who were left in consequence to starve. By the adoption of one species of frame in particular, one man performed the work of many, and the superfluous labourers were thrown out of employment. Yet it is to be observed, that the work thus executed was inferior in quality, not marketable at home, and merely hurried over with a view to exportation. It was called, in the cant of the trade, by the name of Spider-work. The rejected workmen, in the blindness of their ignorance, instead of rejoicing at these improvements in arts so beneficial to mankind, conceived themselves to be sacrificed to improvements in mechanism. In the foolishness of their hearts, they imagined that the maintenance and well doing of the industrious poor, were objects of greater consequence than the enrichment of a few individuals by any improvement in the implements of trade which threw the workmen out of employment, and rendered the labourer unworthy of his hire. And, it must be confessed, that although the adoption of the enlarged machinery, in that state of our commerce which the country once boasted, might have been beneficial to the master without being detrimental to the servant; yet, in the present situation of our manufactures, rotting in warehouses without a prospect of exportation, with the demand for work and workmen equally diminished, frames of this construction tend materially to aggravate the distresses and discontents of the disappointed sufferers. But the real cause of these distresses, and consequent disturbances, lies deeper."
You can. The store used to default to "Proprietary" if the developer didn't set it. Now we default to "Unknown" if not specified by the developer.
It great to see that the community acts fast and educates others.
All snaps appear as "proprietary" because there is not functionality to specify the license in the package yet. Apparently it is work in progress, trying to decide whether to allow free text licences or support a set of license and then allow to pick one from the list.

Oh no, I wasn't saying it's malicious, just that many government tests work on good faith when you wouldn't necessarily expect it.
But what if we could we increase the amount of blood someone can donate. I know something roughly similar is done when donating marrow.

What if we could augment humans to be able to produce absurd amounts of blood and make it so it was a full-time job for those people?

If we could increase the amount of blood someone could donate by 100x, would it start to become cheaper to just hire full-time donors rather than deal with all the expenses around donations? And would it be ethical even if the donors we're fully consenting and paid a good salary?

Like you said, its a interesting hypothetical to say the least!
Yes. That was before I had kids. It was not a good life no matter how you look at it.
And there’s two sides to the equation - even if you have a world class orchestration platform if your application architecture is extremely stateful and can’t tolerate certain services being down the platform can not help. Most places I’ve observed (large and small) simply do not write software in a manner that can be containerized effectively. The abstractions and patterns developers have as a default in most languages tends toward system designs (emergent) where people as a rule write and cache files locally, datastores are expected to stay up forever and never change hostnames, and that service discovery is “too complicated” to ever use.
I found the same for anything remotely complicated. I prefer just using a VM.
The words have meaning. If you don't understand them you could just ask for them to be explained rather than throwing out insults. I suspect you actually do understand the meaning of what was written though so I suppose that means you're just trying to start a flamewar.

One design bit I would change here is the monospaced fonts. I realize that monospace signals that this is a "coder's" site, but I find it hard to read. I don't even use monospaced fonts when I write code, as I prefer the readability of proportional fonts.

As a quick test, I changed the font to Arial, removed some of the bold and italics, and reduced some of the font sizes. (I like big fonts, but you don't need as large a font size in a proportional font. And there is probably a better font than Arial, it was just the first one that came to mind. )

Much easier on my eyes this way.
You were lucky... I check every once in a while, but I've never seen it pop up.
