I'm really sorry to the OP if I seemed annoyed, but I was merely stating my first impression.

I'm not a big fan of shell scripts for complicated tasks, but their main benefit is exactly "one file, runs everywhere, it just works" - if you take away all three of those I question if it's the right choice being a shell script. For tools of this scope I really like go. stuff everything together as a static binary and you're good to go.
I have an extension that I wrote because I am similar to you and always had a hard time finding the tab I wanted. You might find it useful:

The great Fred Woodworth, who has been prolifically self-publishing anti-establishment zines since the 1960s while keeping no online presence whatsoever (not even an email), famously referred to law enforcement as the largest and most powerful gang in USA history. And that was before the massive militarization of the past 20 years or so.

I say that's globally as well. I'm not crazy about Kim Dotcom, but in raiding his home the FBI was acting illegally on foreign soil. If any other gang in the world were to attempt such a thing, other law enforcement agencies would be all over them.
Are you a parent?

I ask because I remember saying stuff like this before I had kids. I don't anymore. I've tried to learn not to judge others parenting but hey that's just me.

No one, at least that I've seen. Is saying men don't like babies and animals too. There is nothing wrong with that. To assume that you have to like something based on your gender is ignorant.

To assume that you can't like what is "stereotypical" liked by your gender is equally ignorant.

People have a massive amount of fluctuation in what they like and don't like, part of being a parent is about recognizing the individual that your kid is and not pressing what YOU want on them, but balancing that with what's best for them based on what you know that they don't.

I also know that as a parent, you're always failing. You just do your best to fail as little as possible.
The problem was, we ran out of frontier. And we're not gonna get any more frontier anytime soon.
A couple of newer laptops are coming with Ryzen processors. Off the top of my head, the Huawei Matebook D has an AMD option.

Intel has just now opened Thunderbolt up (the topic of this article), despite the announcement coming two years ago.
You can have the best of both worlds, if you use history.replaceState() or a framework that implements it.
Giving states the ability to tax more without an additional burden on their population shifts the onus of supporting that population from the federal to the state government.

The state can have a higher tax rate without an overwhelmingly high tax rate on its citizens, and can thereby have enough revenue to provide services without federal aid (that the same revenue would have paid for, just indirectly through the federal government first).

>That argument is contingent on certain linear utility curves that are probably not empirically borne out.

Just because price elasticity isn't linear doesn't mean that price changes have no effect on demand.
Except for the problem of having to get there. If you lived in Virginia and wanted to homestead in Nebraska, you'd probably need a wagon, team, tools, supplies, and seed. That was a significant capital requirement. If you were dirt poor, I'm not sure you could do it.

I must confess I struggle to see the long-term market for these services - I was working on a startup in the field for a while, and eventually decided it wasn't worth continuing.

The only thing these services really offer above desktop equivalents (which Autodesk totally dominate) is the collaboration (like Google Docs for 3D). But do you really need to collaborate to create 3D? Maybe to review/annotate etc. but to actually collaborate during the process of creating an object/scene?

To put it another way, are you going to convince your entire art team to leave behind the toolchain they have used their entire career, just so they can 'collaborate'? And if so, do you think Autodesk are going to let that happen? (Obviously not, as they bought in to the field a while ago).

>Algorithms would be another, better way...

Humans are flawed, and any system made by humans will be flawed. That's just reality. Whether the system is composed of human judges or human built mechanical judges, it will display the same biases of-, and will be vulnerable to the same manipulation by-, humans that exists today. People like cops and DA's will figure out, "Hey! Just feed it the right input, I'll get the output that I want!"

So if you want to switch to digital judges because you want to save some bucks by not having to pay the humans, well that works. But if you are expecting a better system at the aggregated mean, you're likely to be very disagreeably surprised.
This is in general a good thing if all companies can negotiate such deals. This leads to different administrative areas competing for different kid of projects and also lower the tax rate. All this results into more efficient government.

Note that 15M means very little for Google any ways.But those jobs can have massive impact on the local economy creating millions more for the locals and as well as state.

Jordan Peterson Interview: The Intellectual Dark Web and the Crisis of the Left
The amount of energy used for Bitcoin mining has very little to do with the rate of transactions. The limiting factor is mining profitability, which depends on capital and energy costs on on hand and current and expected Bitcoin prices, the block reward (which decreases over time), and transaction fees on the other. Only the transaction fees increase with more transactions, and for now they're insignificant compared to the block reward.

A billion Bitcoin transactions would be about 250-500 GiB, depending on the transaction size. If we were willing to accept block sizes of 1.5 to 3.5 GiB then we could handle that many transactions per day using no more energy than the current system. Of course, you'd need a 50+ Mbit dedicated downlink and some fairly capable hardware just to keep up with all the traffic, which is why we don't permit such large blocks.
> It turns out that after a few generations of the experiment, having better schools (for example) leads to higher incomes and vice versa.

It's the vice versa, and the vice versa alone. The ranking algorithms have been publicized. Higher incomes lead real estate industry ranking schools better, leads to better education.
> This is what happens when you aim for equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity.

People throw this accusation around all the time, but it doesn't make much sense. Outcomes are the only holistic way to measure opportunity.

If you're seeing one group getting lesser outcomes, there are only two possibilities: Their opportunities are being artificially limited somewhere, or one of the groups is simply better than the other. So if you really believe this is a meaningful distinction to draw — that measuring outcomes can't tell us about opportunity — what you're really saying is, "The groups who haven't traditionally been in power are in that position because they are innately less capable."
When you see that "argument" made in HN comments, I do not think it is for the reasons others in this thread are suggesting.

These commenters are potential or existing users of X, not the authors of X. The people writing X would never try to argue that people should not write Y.

As for the psychology that drives these sort of statements from HN commenters, that is left as an exercise for the reader. One theory is that some people do not like to make choices. They would rather be told what to do. Alternatives may mean choices must be made.

In this case, Snabb discloses that Vita was funded by NLnet.
NLnet once wrote an alternative DNS library and various programs (nsd, drill, unbound, etc.) that I would bet many former BIND users are now happily using. OpenBSD made the switch years ago and NetBSD is making the transition as well.

I think these "Why not use X" comments are a sign of users who dislike decision-making and want to be told what to do. I would bet some commenter was asking "Why not use IPsec?" when Wireguard was being introduced.

Wireguard is of course very Linux-specific. As of today, I still cannot use it reliably on BSD. What that means is that in order to experiment with Wireguard, 3xblah's router has to run Linux not BSD, 3xblah's preferred router OS. I am not anti-Linux, but that choice, being made for me, is significant.

I interpret the configuration choices that GNU/Linux distributions make as being told what to do. With BSD, NetBSD for example, programs that interact with the network are generally off by default. It is up to the user to decide which ones to start. IME, this is different from the Linux distros where programs are pre-configured to start without any input from the user.

Alternatives that work on a variety of OS are helpful for some users.

I think the "Why bother..." questions come from users who cannot be bothered with decision-making. More alternatives may mean more decision-making.

The reaction of these users might be "Why bother developing..." in which case they are upset that now with the arrival of new software they feel there is a choice to be made, or it could be "Why should I switch to..." which signifies they want someone else to make the decision for them.
Or worse, someone from your own organization (because you own the number block) and you’re on-call for a critical system...
I found that another helpful technique is to randomly say, "Alexa, order two thousand rolls of toilet paper" anywhere I go. It works on Zoom/WebEx conference calls if people have that thing spying in the same room as our conference calls.
Yeah, that would sound suspicious but she just let me know that she was calling from a diferent number.
It seems like the federal tax code could be changed so local tax breaks or incentives just count as fully taxed income.
> I've never worked in a field where I could compete for a job with a woman, they'd always get first dibs. It is pretty unfair.

(As a white, straight male,) I have absolutely no issue with a woman being offered a role over me as a tie-breaker or an epsilon-advantage. A company who would go significantly farther than that is one that I don’t want to work for anyway as they’re not interested in being competitive.
Japan is very well known for gender inequality in the workplace and Rwanda is also well known as an example of significant legal and social support for gender equality. If your intuition and awareness doesn't include either of these facts then you should not trust yourself on this area at all.
Rich people don't leave because of taxes, they have money after all. They can pay.
California and New York are places were the rich and famous WANT to be. Its also coincedentally the places were they make their fortunes. Alabama could abolish taxes and the 5% aren't moving there.
You hit the nail on the head right here. Helping support is literally reward-less work.

The 100 km/h stopping distance of a BMW M5 is ~30m, compared to 41m for a Honda Fit.

https://fastestlaps.com/lists/top-quickest-stoppers-60mph

That's a pretty good performance (but it's a $100K car), but at 200 km/hr, the stopping distance of the M5 increase to 124m (which makes sense since a 200 km/h car has 4X the kinetic energy of a 100 km/h car)

Once out of the specialty racing cars, all of the cars "faster stoppers" list took about 27m-30m to stop from 100 km/h so that seems about the best that can be achieved today.
I don't know if you meant JavaScript or not, but JScript is an actual thing that is (somewhat) separate from JavaScript, commonly abbreviated as JS.
Maybe it's just as well that the phone system is being destroyed by robocalls - it's a great excuse to ignore all incoming calls, or not to have a voice number at all.

If the FCC and phone companies continue to do nothing, the problem may eventually correct itself as the phone system becomes unusable by humans.

Have you tried the new JupyterLab interface yet? It's pretty straight forward to segregate your content into separate notebooks in that setting since you have quick access to a filesystem view. That said, I also have a wiki with 10+ years of my medical notes in it. I love the wiki, but work keeps blocking my domain (I have lots of images from med school that I'm sure have a copyright on them, so I can't just make the wiki public access, therefore the little ladies in tennis shoes at BrightCloud mark it as "personal storage".
The biggest downside to options is the tax treatment. The treatment by the IRS is absolutely asinine: you're taxed on the 'gain' between strike & current fair market value, or rather, you'll pay tax through the AMT. You can't sell the shares, so why are you taxed at exercise?
> And where did you get 'all workers have the right to demand' from?

The National Labor Relations act of 1935, of course.

Workers have the full legal right to discuss their working conditions, and to engage in organizing activities, and have had this right for almost a century.

And this is with or without a union. The NLRA specifically states "and to engage in other protected concerted activities with or without a union.".

Discussing working conditions with others is a legal right.

Amen! But I know what my company would say. "Training devs and SRE on a new language is too expensive. And there are too few Rust devs in the job market, and the ones there are are too expensive to hire."
Sometimes when you automate this stuff away, you lose the value of manually reviewing the data. Just seeing a metric isn't the same as reading through the logs and seeing what actually happened.

From 1945 to 1992, 520 atmospheric nuclear explosions (including eight underwater) have been conducted with a total yield of 545 megatons.

> But more importantly, you may find men occupy high salary roles in engineering whilst women work in HR - resulting in the salary changes going disproportionately to men, because a % increase in their salary is far higher than the women on lower salaries.

The article says the opposite with regard to where the salary adjustments went:

> One effect of the adjustments was to create a pronounced imbalance in compensation among lower-level software engineers, one of Google’s largest job groups, with a large number of men identified as being underpaid compared with their female peers. To offset that, further adjustments were made. Google said it saw no pattern in the reasons women were receiving more discretionary pay.
I'd take a look at Monoprice. Their prices are modest and they offer a bunch of form factors.

Pick any random USB-C cable.

Can you tell by looking at it what speeds it supports? Is it USB-3 or USB-2? How about the power delivery aspect, how much power is it cable of transferring?

You might be able to tell some of those things from modern cables, if they're bragging about a speed factor, but otherwise it isn't clear.

That's what TurboTax told me. SALT wasn't huge for me, and I'm nowhere near the AMT. I put in the mortgage interest deduction after the dependents and it popped up a window saying that I've hit the $10k limit on deductions and any further deductions won't be counted. True to its word all further deductions (mostly charitable contributions) made no difference.
My wife was invited to a women-only wedding.

I wish that all people would be open minded and just treat everyone equally by default no matter what they look like, what genitalia they have or their wealth level.

Save the exclusion for people who show themselves to be *s (i.e. who cause harm to others). So ban smokers / drinkers from your wedding not men.
>any STEM fields are all overwhelmingly biased in terms of favoring women.

This sounds like an uneducated opinion. Sample size of 1: My department had maybe 1 female professor for every 10 male. The student ratio was pretty similar.

In your sample, you asked "your friends", which is a really biased sample. How did you meet them? Did you only meet them because they already had the high paying job? You aren't accounting for variables, and you are ignoring evidence.
I think a better distinction here is mesh vs. solid geometry. This is a tool for creating mesh-based models and has a focus on rendering. STL is a mesh format that you can print with consumer 3D printers and it looks like Vectary supports that as an export format, but it's not a product built for engineering or mechanical design.

That said it looks really cool and I would definitely print something made with it. Trying that out now, actually.
STEM includes an awful lot of S, which should not be in the same boat as the T and E parts of that acronym.

What I really want is a keyboard centric power user browser. I don’t think any of the big browsers could even turn into something like that at this point. Power user feature like keyboard shortcuts are an after thought.

I want really good tab management built in through some kind of workspace. I want something more than just profiles a workspace should be kind of like an editor workspace and provide different tools to help you be productive.

A minimal UI and user configurable keyboard shortcuts would be great too.

I wish I had written down more of my thoughts but I think to sum it up - all browsers are trying to compete for the average customer. I would pay money for a power user/developer focused browser.

For now I’m trying to customize qutebrowser to get closer to what I want.

It is perfectly accurate to say that anywhere has discrimination against anybody, because for any moderately sized group there is always going to be someone engaging in a given behavior.

Distributions and nuanced statements are the crux of this entire matter, yet in these discussions they're cast away in favor of simplistic narratives. If you draw the metric this way, "men" are paid more. If you draw the metric that way, "women" are paid more, surprise! This is already headed down the path to madness!

Generalizations using scalar metrics (or even slightly more advanced higher moments) can only inform - they simply cannot form a basis for prescriptive policies to reform! We generally see sexism/racism/xxism as wrong because they ignore individuals in favor of broken-ass group-based narratives. Yet over the past several years this collectivist thinking has re-sprouted in full force, sanctioned as acceptable because it's "helping" - yet it's still fundamentally broken!

Specifically, every company's basic incentive is to cheap out on every single employee as much as possible without having them leave. They are taking advantage of every person's individual reluctance to fully negotiate, essentially arbitraging their human-emotional holdups. Is it terribly surprising that there are going to be wide disparities between what different personalities (regardless of but also including gender) are paid?
A few years of google on your resume looks a lot better than a couple of months. And you also have to weigh the likelihood of running into the same problem at other places.
