Some changes simply have to be accepted by the participants en masse and implemented by them manually, and any engineering to try to force such a change generally will fail catastrophically. It's not by accident or mistake that there are no happy, prosperous oppressive police states. Society must determine its own culture, and if that's 'too messy' for those building technology, the consequences will be dire and perhaps they should have not chosen humans as their target audience.

There's a book called positive négociation, while I don't like the title much, the core idea is to share and try to find better for all. I think it's a good Idea to follow.

Thanks to matz for his kindness, and to other of the same kind.
I write in http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ then style it in LaTeX later. And I love it.
sorry, I cannot tell it anymore since that was long time ago, the python version probably had a generator; also remember that python's IO and string optimizations are written all in C.
So, why use Go then? Java and C# will beat in every metric you have listed here.
I quote from myself: Among those haters, idiots hurts the most.

Been an idiot myself, I know how many damage I can cause & caused. Lucky, through out many years, I've learnt to investigate the problem first, before deciding whether or not to send hate mail/comments.

Sometime, during the investigation, I'll found out the fact that I was the one who actually caused the problem, because I'm such an idiot. When that happens, I will just sit on my chair for few seconds to appreciate the time that I've saved for not to write the hate message with my broken English.

Sadly, investigating is a skill not everybody have.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were to be given an award that was then revoked, correct? They weren't banned from the show floor, were they?

If so, then this isn't really the obvious double-standard the article makes it out to be unless the male sex products are winning awards without the "no sex products" rule being applied to them as well. If anything it seems in line with their push to have sexual things present but not featured.

> pseudonymity can be "good enough".

Which is to say, it's not good enough for anything which matters, especially in any case where censorship is a relevant concern.

> "the network" is a concept that doesn't necessarily mean "the public internet". Also, it really doesn't require everyone to be on the network -- it requires a network to exist.

This is similarly meaningless: if you're talking Bitcoin, you're by definition saying you need to be on the regular internet and if you're running some private network you either have the exact same problems with trust & monitoring or you don't need a blockchain in the first place because you have some other trusted communications channel.
I think probably it is not the look of the device, but the whole idea behind it.

People will distrust someone who always has a camera recording their faces, this is a privacy problem.

No glasses will be good looking enough for that.
- Modularity: I would like it if I could open a folder with the app, and the app will interpret some meta file in the folder to understand settings for that folder. This will ensure that it is scalable. I can open another folder with app in addition to, or by appending to existing folder.

- Interlinking of notes.

- Tagging at least at file level.

- Ability to add yaml metadata to files and search the metadata fields of multiple files/all files in current folder.

- Ability to set a default notebook/folder and create quick notes in that folder.

- Ability to extend via plugins written in a major language.

People say the same about cofffe. Although I suspect 8 out of 10 times people just want the caffeine hit and should ingest via pill instead.
haha, had exactly the same thoughts. the colours really makes it much much easier on the eyes to recognise things. well done!
Lets not forget that a lot of people like myself, can not be bothered with even thinking about design.

The main reason i write stuff in either plain text or LaTex is, that i do not want to spend even a second on figuring out the height oft a heading.

Especially if you are 2 pages in and have to remember random numbers for text size in listings or whatever.

Every document looks like crap when i try to do it manually and on top it wastes my time fidgeting with widths and heights.

I leave the design to people who now what they are doing (not me) and have the computer do the tedious formatting stuff.

Also you can put those Tex docs in source control.

And if you don't like how the document looks, choose a different theme and recompile.
Why would you need an AI when you can just block angry people? Whenever someone gets irrationally angry at you on social media, just block them. No second chances. 6 months of that and you'll eliminate almost all the negativity directed at you in your feed, with little to no quality loss.

Why is it Uber’s responsibility though? Why is this different from how restaurant servers are required to report their cash tips, but basically none of them do? Should we blame the servers, the restaurant owner, the government, all of them, no one?
Are algebraic data types and pattern matching possible in Nim? Googling shows that there are libraries (https://github.com/andreaferretti/patty for example) but basically amounts to deferring their implementation by way of the macro system/metaprogramming.
Isn’t avoiding A/D conversion (thus avoiding conversion to bits and any DSP or dithering) one of the critical elements that gives vinyl it’s warmth?

As an audiophile enjoying vinyl I wouldn’t be adding wireless and definitely not Bluetooth to the signal chain.
At least the Nexus phones I've had also never came with crap ware. This is yet another reason why I would only ever by a Android phone from Google. Of course the main reason are the longer update cycles that might even delay arrival of security updates. I really wish Google had gone the exact same route as Apple and only shipped Android phones themselves. To me the collaboration with random manufacturers also weakened the Nexus brand. I have zero brand loyalty to Samsung, LG or HTC. I wanted a Google phone. My iPhone doesn't say "Foxconn" on it, so why did my Nexus say "LG" and the next one "Samsung"?! I'm always surprised that these concerns apparently aren't shared by the market and people are happily buying Samsung phones with crap on it and unnecessary changes to Android that just result in getting updates super late.
Ever since practicing mindfulness and become more aware of my emotional state, drinking alcohol has become a nonstarter for me. It took a while for me to truly connect the dots, but, following a night of imbibing, I crash really hard on not just a physiological level but an emotional, psychological level as well. In fact I find it hard to separate the two reactions. To me they are basically the same thing, overall increased levels of "pain" or "anxiety" or "neurosis" manifesting in my inner being, my soul if you will.

I know that sounds a bit woo woo but it's sort of an ineffable and inarticulable idea. I'm 100% sure I feel it though, every time I drink I sleep poorly, I'm much more irritable once the alcohol wears off the next afternoon, and by the time the evening comes around, assuming I don't re-dose, I'm much more prone to ruminate on negative thoughts or seek mindless stimulation to distract my mind from the general malaise.

I think alcohol really is a mainstream and socially acceptable means of anxiety self-medication. It's a deeply engrained cultural habit that has been around for millenia, and I don't expect or advocate for it to stop, but for me it has palpable deleterious effects on my whole being.
What worked for me was to update my Facebook login email from my real email to my spam mailbox. Now, I don't care how much they spam me.
that's a really good suggestion. As someone that writes a lot of changelogs, they would really benefit from including _why_ and not just _what_.

I do think, however, that users greatly underestimate how much time it takes to write up a good changelog. Even one that is as simple as this.
Yikes! There's only hope they'll add some paid service where I can find love and hunt deer with a crossbow in special national park, wild way. Just like those two domains, wild and artificial, from Huxley's Brave New World.

Indeed. I felt he presented a very limited argument, without much of an overreach.

He doesn't say "Never use Latex!". His opinion is that those who are picking it up under the false illusion that latex gets out of there way better than MS Word are doing themselves a disservice. Seems to me to be a fairly uncontroversial opinion. The latex document, especially one that's big, is not trivial to parse and edit. Making sure the 'flow' of the text is right is infinitely easier with WYSIWYG.

He absolutely seems to be OK with people who use latex because they care deeply about the beauty of the resulting document, and himself advocates for a post-writing conversion to latex. Markdown>Pandoc>Latex even. I feel many here are not reading the article in context.

I have an aside of my own to add to the "latex gets document design out of your way" crowd. I can bet any money that the types of people who will fiddle a lot with the typeface settings on MS Word will fiddle with themes/linespacing/monospaced font-du-jour on their text editor too. It has less to do with the writing environment and more to do with personality. I would know since I'm one of those people.
> Upthread you needed "a source" for the obvious fact that hospitals are part of a national economy.

No, I asked for a source for the claim that the US blocked essential medical supplies as part of the embargo.

> "The alternative" is what every president from Washington through Arthur would have advocated: stay on our own continent and mind our own business.

Wouldn't mind that at all! However, since I don't make these decisions, then I will persist: sanctions are better than the violent killing of war.

I did not buy FSD for my TM3 nor am I likely to do so in the future. However if they want to sell me on it then I suggest they show us its ability to recognize certain events.

I know some have said their car "recognizes" speed limit signs but mine never has. So when it comes to when Tesla wants to push this out and make money I hope they open up the simple examples that the car is aware of its surroundings. Like, showing the speed limit based on signage and especially recognizing school zone lights. As you come up to a signal it could replace the speed limit sign with an image representing the signal it detects and state. This can be simple as a stop sign but for a traffic light it would show what state it thinks its in.

I am in that camp Woz mentioned, Tesla has promised each generation was "it" only to have a new generation to become it. I am willing to wait for it to be IT
A sync to S3 is a nice idea. And it is completely independent from the generator you use... so I would see that functionality as a utility command, called when everything else is finished.

btw: with markdeck, I tried the completely different approach: do not dependent on an uplink, neither when authoring, nor when presenting...
How do you know you remembered everything? Obviously you don’t remember what you don’t remember.
Disagree.

While we can suppose and discuss personal ethics, and while we can agree that certain behaviors are hurtful or abusive, we cannot expect that a single policy of that style will actually defend against abuse. At least not at scale.

This is the difference between public health and medical practice. They make different decisions because while a good doctor can behave with great skill and ethical power they cannot stop you from getting sneezed on.

Twitter (just as an example) as a platform is clearly a failure in some use cases. This shouldn’t be surprising—it’d be straight unsettling for one tool to be right for everyone in all situations and at all scales. As it is, people are today choosing to deal with the stress because it’s “where the people are”, but the economics of that won’t always play in Twitter’s favor.

I think there is legitimate opportunity here, but the answer won’t look much like a Twitter (e.g., or, more generally, the platforms of today) at all.
How does Malta's regulation help?

I presume if you want to accept German players u need to conform to German rules. So how do these online casinos operate inside the EU ?

EDIT: also note that Malta population is 500K. So even one large unicorn can shift the economy numbers.
Yes, though it can be a matter of phrasing. Technically, no American killed any of these kids.
> I have some formulae installed from source

Homebrew has gone out of its way to make this more difficult lately, to the point where 'brew doctor' complains when HOMEBREW_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE is set, and now it's deprecated.

Homebrew's bottle infrastructure is a tempting target if you want to get malware deployed to Macs, and as best I can tell, there is scant documentation out there about what they do to secure it. For all I know, the bottles are built on some random bozo's Mac.

The snarky side of me thinks that if build from source is discouraged then the program should rename itself to Macrobrew (as I'm sure Budwiser would sue their pants off if they used that name).
Once I too felt like that.

Maybe you're just into something different. That's ok.

But maybe you're like me: For my case, it turned out that I was just bored of doing what I'd been doing. I changed my direction and left full-stack development. I started studying machine learning (and lots of other stuff because of it), bought some in-depth books about programming and started reading them. I finally understood the importance of Lisps (yes, the weird syntax has a really good purpose) and started learning Clojure. I'm constantly trying to improve my -functional- programming skills. It feels ok now, I feel like I've found a new path to follow, and see the room for improvement.
Meh, IMHO, I loved buying the top tier phone...and that top tier phone jumped from $900-ish to $1200-ish and I'm choosing to not make the jump. The changes are not compelling enough to make me feel like spending that kinda dough.

Incorporating the carrier costs in the analysis, are you getting more than $5 in value a day? Because with an Xs max and a noncapped plan, that's what I'd be spending.
I work for a startup of ~400 employees (okay, maybe not much of a startup anymore...) and can confirm that lots of money and interesting work is available in many more places than just the Power 5.
Many Android phones don't have "crap" installed on them. This is a phone manufacturer issue and not an Android phone.
I can't speak about fake noses, but from testing with lots of people, VR sickness is generally dependent on your subject and their brain's ability to handle being tossed around between realities. Personally, whenever there is no floor, I get sick fairly quickly. I assume because my mind expects a floor to be there when I look down. Not looking down when I know there is no floor usually helps. Worst case is when the floor is at the level of my knees/stomach, that's an instant VR ending for me. Oddly enough, there are rare exceptions, such as with Cosmic Sugar, I was able to "ignore" my sickness and play around for ~30 minutes, but returning to the normal world, I remained slightly dizzy and felt "off" for the next couple days. The worst offender is when objects fly into my body or head (or as happens with lots of the shitty shovelware indie games which launch you into walls/mountains). After such incidents, I usually need a break between 15 minutes and a full day before I can go back inside.

I doubt adding a virtual nose would fix either of those issues i.e. where the mind isn't able to process what it is seeing.
Same thought except, I wonder why this isn’t a patch to xxd?
In my humble opinion on language design, if the main language favours a paradigm or style, the libs will do it even worse although some programming languages gave weird reimplementations of their whole stdlib in a different paradigm it is not the rule. C will be C no matter how much MISRA certifications are sold.

For example, kotlin is very promising language on the paper, but in the reality it is being developed by people who kept a Java mindset and way to structure problems and code (and they repeat same concepts and ideas as they do in java, for example calling DSL to every single piece of nested code).
I haven’t been following... is Android open source, or isn’t it?

>The idea of somebody critiquing Latex for being a difficult format to write in while writing almost exclusively plaintext is pretty baffling to me

Creative writers for instance don't really care about typesetting; they want to keep their manuscript organized and to be able to change it easily. Here's en example[1] of a writer showing his personal workflow for writing (in this case using emacs) and you'll see what I mean

That’s quite a trivial reason to dislike a language! There are quite a few languages, including some very popular ones, like Kotlin, where the type comes after the variable.
I like doing both more than I like either one on it's own. Coding in a bubble and discussing through mediators are both sub-optimal and they take away the best part of being a programmer, seeing the user/customer reaction when they get exactly what they wanted from something you built.
I wrote mine before word was really a thing. I used LaTex, and had to create my own style setup. It wasn't too difficult. I had programs generate EPS documents for inclusion of figures, resize jpg/png images, run the multiple pass latex compilation.

I am pleased to report that the makefile for my thesis still works, and generates close to the original doc, 20 something years later. I can barely open a 10+ year old office doc thanks to incompatibilities within the product.

Back in those days, word processors would not do complicated multi-line equations very well; type setting for print, display, etc. This was a problem for me.

To each their own though. I wound up writing some user manuals for products I developed in the late 90's in LaTeX as well. I've not used it much since.
Possibly helpful to some macOS folks: I converted all of my cronjobs to launchd agents/daemons and the increased dependability has been helpful, since I use a laptop which sleeps a lot.

What I mean: "Unlike cron which skips job invocations when the computer is asleep, launchd will start the job the next time the computer wakes up. If multiple intervals transpire before the computer is woken, those events will be coalesced into one event upon wake from sleep."[1]

Uber is a better example. Airbnb is a different case in my view. Vacation rentals have been around for forever, and they were pretty terrible before Airbnb. When I used VRBO back in 2006 or so, it wasn’t horrible but wasn’t amazing. And the market was fragmented and inefficient. Airbnb basically made it so easy to both rent out space and rent space from others that it grew the market very dramatically in a short period of time. So much so that it exposed a lot of problems that weren’t present before with a few hard-to-book vacation rentals here and there.

Even if this is the case, Doordash has to make money somewhere, they also have to insure the drivers. I see this no differently than every major pizza chain charging several dollar delivery fee that does NOT go to the driver.

To me this site seems like 2 things:

- A hit site against Doordash, either made by a competitor or just some generally unpleasant person. It makes accusations against Doordash that are contradictory to public statements from the company and recommends you accuse them of dishonest practices to local media and to share the site on social media.

- Somewhat of an attempt at tax evasion, recommending cash tips.

The fact the site offers zero evidence whatsoever, and is attempting to solicit donations for hosting that is likely dollars a year... yeahhhhhh.
Yes. When you start out, everything is new and the possibilities seem endless. Whether you're starting your own projects or joining other people's, learning about each new domain or style of programming is exciting. But once you move from exploring to building, it gets to be a lot less fun. It's like the difference between being a tourist in a foreign city vs. getting a job there. You start to notice the poor quality of almost everything around you. Making it better is hard work, and only gets harder as you progress further.

Worst of all, once you've gotten a thing to whatever you consider to be a good state, you're faced with a choice. Moving to a new project/domain might help to regain that feeling of wonder ... until you realize it has problems too and you'll be back to digging ditches in a new field. It also means leaving behind some of your accumulated expertise, which affects both comfort and career prospects. So many people decide to stick with what they're doing even though they're no longer passionate about it, and that's draining in its own way.

I don't think there's any one solution. Some people are quite happy endlessly polishing the same apple. Some people are happy flitting about. Some people are in between, working primarily in one area but taking periodic excursions into others. The key, I think, is to recognize which is true for you and consciously strategize about if/when to change projects to maximize your own happiness.
I appreciate the response, but isn't it overly dramatic? Like, really, everywhere you go? To the movies, to the barber, to get your groceries?
