I think arbitrary restrictions on groups that can purchase or lease space in a neighborhood is bad for a free society. I guess people say it depends on what group you're imposing. Now it's Google which you may or may not like, but other groups can be harmed in the future. This is part of the whole NIMBY movement.

As long as the group is following laws and zoning restrictions, there should be nothing preventing them from joining a community
Myopia is actually caused by your eye being "too long", and means the lens focuses light in the middle of your eye, rather than on the retina. It seems that sunlight ceases the development of your eye, rather than encouraging it.

Perhaps we evolved to "make use" of UV light to halt our eyes growth.

Nice! I hope they publish their work. plan9 is a great and very portable OS for experimenting with new architectures, for the reasons outlined in the slides. You can cross-compile the entire OS for a foreign architecture by simply setting objtype=arm and running mk (plan9's take on make) - less than 5 minutes later the whole OS is done compiling.
Ubuntu/Debian users, put this in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts to have it accessible from your right-click menu:

Prerequisites are align_image_stack and enfuse packages (Hugin users already have them or do it manually) and after that, just shoot bracketed and multi-select each set of bracketed photos > right-click > Scripts > run script. A timestamped finished image in TIFF format will output to your desktop. I usually open these in Darktable for minor post processing, then final export to JPEG.

Apple replaces a laptop battery for free under Apple Care if its capacity falls below 80% of design capacity.

(Note that it's measured using Apple's diagnostic tools, not using the value displayed in the System Report).

Assuming, hypothetically, that some selfish person were happy to get a new battery paid by Apple for their expensive laptop as it approaches the end of the AppleCare contract, but the diagnostic pegs it at over 80% - would it be possible to push it under 80% over a few months? How? (Not a question most articles on laptop batteries address, for some reason...)
I imagined that would be the case, but don't have the CS background to prove one way or the other. I am currently learning OCaml and would love to use it more, but my job keeps me tied to R, SAS and Python.

I used to agree with you, but considering the fact that San Francisco has gone from “semi-affordable haven for weirdos and off-beat culture” to “single most expensive city in America filled primarily with tech workers and the homeless” in less than 30 years, I don’t any more. Semi-similar situations for lower Manhattan, Paris, East London, ad infinitum.

A place can have a unique culture that’s worth maintaining. How to maintain it - I don’t know. But converting everything to MegaCo offices probably isn’t the solution.

Nobody is restricting Google from doing anything. They are expressing--in a way that is part of, and frankly should be expected of being a member of, one of those "free societies" you mention--that Google is unwelcome, and no, nobody is obligated to make you feel welcome. There are cases where not making somebody welcome kinda makes you an asshole, but that does not, frankly, apply to anybody who's got a stock ticker symbol.

This is "you piss in the pool wherever you go, please stay away from our pool." This isn't NIMBY in any meaningful way and the comparison is downright mendacious.
It is too soon to declare this was a 'good idea'.

Historically investment in a city has benefited a city. This is the opposite.

I wonder who was behind the protest, was it the established tech players and wanted to keep competition out?

This seems like a mild form of isolationism, and again, if we use history, this seems like a bad idea.
I feel like the people who would be upset about the flag would also be the same people who wouldn’t be satisfied by merely a flag change. They’d say “so what if you just changed your flag? Now change the history curriculum in high school”. And they wouldn’t stop there either, they’d ask for further changes because it’s never enough. “ Why haven’t you demolished the Yasukuni shrine yet?”

I’m _not_ saying that a country that committed crimes in the past shouldn’t have to atone for that by making changes. Germany did this much better than Japan. All I’m saying is that there will be people in the country who will oppose kowtowing to requests like the one you’ve made because they think it’s impossible to satisfy people who make such requests.

I hate to be that guy, but that is really not even vaguely appropriate—retardation literally means you are slow at development. This is unrelated to deluded adults, and I’d hazard a guess that most retarded individuals are not deluded about the earth being flat.
> Gentrification is generally great for the owner and terrible for the renter.

Well not entirely.

Gentrification is started and driven by new groups of tenants moving into a neighbourhood. Property owners and investors will only jump onto the bandwagon afterwards. With German restrictions on rent-increases, being one of those original gentrificators (OG) you can lock in an incredibly low rent in a place where rents for new leases skyrocket. As long as you stay in your flat, you're shielded from those rent-hikes.

Growing up, I've had many friends who lived literally in city mansions (4m++ ceiling height, art deco, 6-10 rooms for a family of three) in a fully gentrified area paying a rent lower than I paid for my no-go-area 25sqm studio. All because their parents kept the lease from their 1970s flatshare (pre-gentrification, no-go-area then).

Today even more than 20yrs ago, those OGs often live in an opaque, inaccessible grey housing market: If they want to move (because e.g. the 6 people they share a flat with became 1 spouse and a kid), they first look out for other OGs to do a lease-switch. Which means their rent level stays pre-gentrification forever. If nothing comes across they can still "resell" the lease.

I always wonder what proportion of uncorroborated calls that trigger SWAT raids are actually genuine. I'd have thought that live hostage taking is extremely rare - even in the US. To the point where SWAT calls ought to require corroboration or be presumed to be fake (extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all that...).

I know when I was interested in a similar question several months ago, the advice I found was that laptop batteries like to stay at a higher charge level. Depleting the charge and allowing the cells to remain empty should damage the battery's capacity.
I think you're right and it's about the context in which the newcomer acts. Immigrants making poutine (with their own ideas blended in) is not appropriation because it's happening in QC (or surrounding areas), but if they did the reverse -- not immigrating but staying put while making Schwarma Poutine in their homeland while flying Canadian flags -- appropriation (on two levels), not unlike festival goers wearing Native garb as a classic example.
Even though probably everyone in your town eats sushi, a variant that is most likely wildly different from what the Japanese call sushi, people don't go around calling it a Canadian or American dish. Same goes here, I'd say. At its basis poutine was a Quebecois dish, and other people didn't want any part of it. Now it's popular and all of a sudden it's a Canadian staple?

The setting is probably at the root of the issue. The article touched on the question of Quebec being recognized as a Nation within Canada. I guess if you don't acknowledge that part, no need to discuss it further, because Quebec is in Canada, therefore making it a Canadian dish. Without going in the question of independence, I have no problem admitting that Scotland has a different culture than the UK, or Catalonia from Spain, etc. I don't see a difference here with Quebec.

The problem with cultural appropriation is not that the thing is embraced by other cultures, the problem is the incorrect labeling. This reminds me of Borscht, that delicious eastern European beet soup. Is it Russian? Ukrainian? Polish? Ask any one of those nationalities and they will tell you they invented it.

I certainly don't think they're safe, but a much, much higher ratio of .com domains are A) actually used by our business, and B) legitimate.

No, I'm referring to the domain using one of these TLDs. Why 'gstatic.com' instead of 'static.google.com' or some other subdomain of the primary?
> Thinking, you build it, you run it, will work in the long term

This is basically the "hit-by-a-bus" scenario and it applies to pretty much anything in which you have a single point of failure in terms of manpower, not just in-house software. e.g. What happens when the engineer who installed your open-source solutions leaves? Who is left to support updates, migrations, etc? The solution to this is of course is to staff correctly...so that you don't have a single engineer building out an entire code base or system that your company heavily relies on.
I would hope that Amazon would be smart enough to let someone like Tim semi-retire. I'm just a few years younger and I completely sympathize with what he says about being tired after a full day at work. I have a raft of project I'm not working on, largely due to not having the energy I once had. Maybe working 30 hours, or 20 hours, a week should be an option for more people. I would seriously consider working half time if I still got health care. I expect health care will keep me on the job until age 65 even if I have the money to quit sooner.
That is just awful...and all this time i thought Canada was a far freer (as in liberty) place to live. Huh.

Parallel Merge Sort in Java
This article really hits me as the sort of “propaganda” writers create through blindly accepting the story of their culture rather than thinking about things critically.

By that I mean the real story here is that the police dispatched a sniper to execute someone without a trial. Blew them away as soon as he opened the door.

That shit is still the news! The facts of what happened here do not make sense in our idea of America.

Yet Wired doesnt even make a passing reference to it.

Feels similar to the way the media reports on “identity theft” as if your identity was the thing that was stolen, not that the bank had a security breach and they're forcing you to pay for it- completely looking at the situation backwards

Lithium-Ion batteries really dislike being used to their limits, e.g. charging to 100% and discharging to 0%. They also dislike heat. Those should kill your battery fairly quickly.
The problem comes from a real situation potentially not getting acted upon.

EDIT: To clarify, there are potential short timeline concerns involved when people are in immediate danger. How do you corroborate that people are definitely being held inside a house without going to the house? How do you verify that without notifying a potentially armed suspect that you are on the way?

Just as an example, the recent tragedy in Florence, SC where 6 officers were shot and 2 died. That happened because the man at the house was notified that a search warrant was going to be served. He took the heads up and prepared an ambused for the officers he knew were coming.

There are a lot of complicating factors involved in corroborating a story before sending out the team immediately.
The truth is probably in the middle, which no one wants to write. They probably do need to raise cash, and the stock is probably a little over valued, but they will make it. It is possible to goose cash flow for a quarter, but it will be more persuasive if they can do it over a series of quarters. But if they do need to raise money there is good reason to believe they can.

One of the effects of getting news in a click bait format is that every story is X will change the world, X will take over the world, X is going bankrupt. There's no story in X will be a normal company.
How many of them lived and worked there before that? How many of them are making the community around them better for this? Look, I work for startups, I'm not remotely out of this myself, but most startups create net-negative externalities on the places around them (I'd say that most create net-negative externalities societally, and I refuse to work for those, but that's a different kettle of fish.) It isn't "sad" that a countercultural and art-focused area doesn't want techbros milquetoasting the community and causing CoL spikes--even if that means they don't want me around, either.

The news has a running meme along the lines of "absurd white person calls police on black person". Many of these phone calls allege the victim is acting violent, has a gun, etc.

Is it possible to bring "swatting" charges against these people? It seems the only reason they don't end badly is because the caller is so obviously defective that the police show up irritated and bored instead of ready to do some hero stuff.

I get that the usual response is "We don't want to discourage people from calling the police" but when you're trying to elicit a violent police response against your victim, it seems it's in society's best interest to bring charges.
Healthy gut is a rather vague concept. What does that mean in clinical terms, and are there published studies showing that Whole 30 actually produces those results?
> Ultimately, my job is to make GitHub better for you.

Who asked you to make GitHub better though? It's pretty darn good already. I fear that the new CEO will try to make things better when they are already good. I'm really scared that GitHub will end up like Azure DevOps, perhaps get merged or shut down entirely when they feel they have feature parity. Currently there is no great GitHub alternative IMHO and for selfish reasons I wish Microsoft could just leave it. The most I am scared is to wake up one day and see the most ugly "Metro" UX applied to GitHub.
Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like I would get really bored if I were to retire and stop working altogether. I’m in the very fortunate position that I really enjoy the work that I do so that obviously helps. I also love the interactions that occur while working on projects and in business that I’m not sure you really get once you’re retired.

I also know a number of older folks (70+) who kept working and it seems like they are still quite a bit more “with it” because they have work to keep them motivated. That’s not to say there aren’t retired people like that, but my sense is that it’s more common among people who keep working beyond retirement age.

There is a casual relationship between swatting someone and them dying. What's the crime for ordering a hit on someone? This is exactly equivalent.
It is as harmful as paying someone else to assault and possibly kill someone.
I think a huge component of this is the ever-present stigma of mental health and counseling. People who are incredibly stressed and suffering mentally and physically should be able to visit a therapist as easily as they can a doctor. When they don't, or feel like they can't, they lose the chance to learn helpful coping mechanisms and life strategies which can have a drastic impact.
Only an American leftist could look at the chaos and nonsense that is a former soviet republic and say "how can we replicate that misery in the US?"
Seems a bit all or nothing/permanent, though I don't have the perspective of age quite yet.

In my mind, paid work is the 'degraded' form of life; you do it when you have to, for as long as you have to, and aim to not be doing it.

I've probably spent less than half of my adult life "working" (easy as a software dev, a starting salary is more than double minimum wage).

That doesn't mean I'm not studying/working in the abstract sense (I work on my own projects or play sysadmin or whatever), but money really shouldn't be an issue I think, unless you inflate lifestyle to require an always-on income.

I think another poster dealt with this well. A job is a job, work is work, they are seperate. Work is good; jobs are necessary evil.
