I wrote some thoughts about finding direction in life (focused on learning for one's growth, and using that to serve others in some way), at http://lukecall.net (a lightly-loading web site). You can click on "Life Lessons" (4th bullet), then "Everyone needs a direction in life" (~ 6th bullet). It is in progress but I still hope it can be useful.

I disagree. I think every single car should be tracked at all times. They are killing machines, responsible for 40,000 deaths a year in the US directly, more than gun deaths.

> not a niche of people avoiding meat or being health conscious

very well articulated. I've been fortunate enough to be around vegan people that aren't so judgemental, but they seemed to still neglect the existence of people that would like to replicate the experience of meat and interpret that as apathy.
I never get honked at... might want to look into why you are getting honked at often.
Isn't this a solution in search of a problem?

I remember Robert Pera, founder of Ubiquiti Networks, poking fun at Facebook for floating [pun intended] the idea of a giant hot air balloon to provide internet access while pointing out that Ubiquiti is already bringing high speed internet to remote places all over the world. I agree - skip the satellites just buy some some Ubiquiti gear.

Xi Jinping's political philosophy is a rather inconsistent mix of ideas from Confucianism, liberalism, and Marxism. It is hard to see how it could work in the long term.
There's a lot of places like you describe :-)

Palo Alto is oddly not one of them. I don't know why PA is so unusual, but it is. Might be the safety. Might be the disposable income. Might be the lack of mainstream-style shopping and dining areas.
It also needs to be rad-hard for space. Terrestrial FPGAs are subject to occasional "SEU" (single event upsets)[1] which can arbitrarily affect behavior because gates can flip. Robust terrestrial FPGA systems have to handle SEUs; you have to imagine that these events are more frequent in space and need to at least be handled.

(This may something you already had in mind, summarized as "high-end FPGAs;" I just wanted to add some interesting color some folks might not be aware of.)

Alright, notch is a racist. Best case he was saying that for shock effect, and that's no excuse. So, I have to agree with Microsoft banning him from the anniversary, and it's too bad he's gone this way. I guess you can't judge a game by its developer.

They are tracked and avoided, just like all the other satellites already up there. Low earth orbit is a large place, you could increase that number by many orders of magnitude before you'd have to start worrying.
In the last two cycles, voters in Missouri, North Dakota, and Arizona defeated statewide marijuana initiatives. What would it mean to be a democracy if the majority of voters in a state believes in cannabis prohibition and the federal government overrules them?
Hey, I’d be interested in buying the web app (if it’s the one I think it is). Feel free to drop me an email (in profile).
My insurance company had me install their app to rate my driving for a couple of weeks. I asked them how they knew I was the one driving the car, they basically said "we can tell with technology and science". This was an unsatisfactory answer to me, because I really don't see how they can tell the difference between when my phone is in my pocket when I'm driving, and when my phone is in my pocket and I'm the passenger.

If they can't tell whether you are the drive or the passenger, it seems like their data on distracted driving would be extremely tainted.
The problematic pattern I see here is whenever you manage remote state, your local guarantees about how that state changes just don't work.

You would love to have the abstraction of a standalone texture and be able to pass it around as a value and change it's ownership, but you never really owned it. The only thing you ever owned is the context (or the connection in the case of the wayland protocol). The texture you borrowed.
Freeing your texture is equivalent to returning it to the context you borrowed it from. Of course not having an explicit context in the OpenGL API makes this much harder :)

> Out of context, "it's ok to be white" is not a disagreement with the phrase "it is not ok to be white", it is a disagreement with the phrase "it is ok to be non-white."

How do you interpret "it's okay to be X" to "it's not okay to be non-X"?. When somebody says "it's okay the be gay" they're actually saying it's not okay to be straight? This line of reasoning doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny.

In my view the phrase "it's okay to be White" means exactly what is says: that it's okay to be White. It's totally fine to say "it's okay to be White and it's okay to be {Asian, Black, Latino, etc.}".

> Obviously. Perhaps emphasizing that view in this context does more harm than dood? Is that possible? Perhaps when someone says something obscene and stupid, you don't pile on with additional obscene and stupid responses?

But there's nothing obscene or stupid about saying "it's okay to be White" or "it's okay to be gay" or "it's okay to be X" (at least as long as X isn't something illegal or otherwise objectively harmful).

What's stupid are the people getting riled up about the phrase "it's okay to be White". It's needless outrage that fuels resentment. The fact that it got started by 4chan makes it even worse. The people that insist on taking offense are fostering needless outrage and they're being played by 4chan.

I'm particularly confused at why you persist in trying to condemn the phrase when you are fully aware that 4chan intended for people to condemn the phrase and thus portray themselves as harboring negativity towards whites. Why are you doing exactly what 4chan wants you to do?

The article you posted even advises against the bevhavior you're engaging in:

> Lundberg’s expert suggestion is not to reject the phrase. “I think that the best response is to deny them the pleasure of the fight—of course it is ok to be white: now how can we make it ok to be a person of any color?”
Does anyone know the EE/physics of the signal loss over that kind of distance?

What kind of band can reliably transmit that far with low power and high SNR?
Beyond that, crowdsourced spying on those around you? Yuck.
I agree with the feeling, but I also see this being a debate between an opt-in approach (choose to use an error value with gradually more information enclosed) vs opt-out (throw an Exception, a la C#/Java, that by default stores everything you may or may not need, then maybe figure out a way to stop storing what you don't need). The use cases are not going to magically go away though, which explains why we need the solution to be somewhere in the middle.

Impressive game for only 48 hours of dev--need more levels! Was able to get a pretty speedy deathless run after learning the patterns. Actually skipping most enemies seemed to be a good strategy. Also enjoyed the mechanic of bouncing enemies into position to progress faster.

So what. Agile scrum bullshit is just as fucking bad. Every fucking job out there is this fucking cookie cutter Jira pipeline, and if that’s how I’m supposed to go to my grave, playing nursemaid to some joke of a Jira backlog until cashing in a 401k, I’ll just cut to the chase and top it off right now, thanks.

Just bought car insurance, I asked the woman on the phone when I bought it "what do you do with this data? Are you selling it?" and she sounded somewhat incredulous that I would even ask such a thing. I declined even though they offered up to a 25% discount. I'll admit it was difficult to decline, even for as much as I care about privacy.
There's a great documentary about this, called _Into Eternity_. Highly recommended.
I'll take writing stuff in YAML (Ansible) over all of the complexities and performance issues Chef brings. At megacorp a lot of my peers still hadn't let go of the button pusher mentality and were both inexperienced at coding and skeptical of automation. The problem with the power of ruby (as Chef exposes it) is that you've got the power of ruby aimed right at your foot.

On top of it, using ruby was a big pain when trying to work with rvm (e.g. for deploying ruby apps or developing ruby apps and running chef commands locally). Things may have gotten better since I last suffered through Chef, but we started running towards terraform + cloudformation.
Yeah, that's basically feasible and your intuition of the cost-savings / requirements is accurate. A cell phone monopoly doesn't have any incentive to pass on those savings to customers, but maybe a small group could band together and buy a portable base station to share.
Those antennas are extremely expensive and large, so the OP's dream is largely just a dream.

I believe that this is the same app I encountered on my mother's phone. She got it from Verizon and got a discount on either mobile service or the phone. It has a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the cars OBDII port. I tried talking to her about the privacy implications though I don't think I got through to her. From what I could see the app was slurping the location of the phone all the time, even outside the car.
This was a very profound perspective, thanks for sharing from your film experience.
This could pipe unfiltered Internet into places like China/NKorea/Iran.
Could you cite your source on that?

Cool!

Uh, what? A functional language is going to be easy to learn because it "looks like other languages"? "C-family syntax" is what makes a language easy to learn? Gee, why didn't I think of that...
Yeah, pretty sure any advanced civilization will quickly figure out "hey this place is pretty radioactive; we shouldn't stick around", while any primitive civilization will quickly figure out "hey this place is definitely cursed; we shouldn't stick around".

Having a visual cue there (I like the jagged pointy structures) would certainly help reinforce that and/or delineate exactly where the radioactive/cursed place actually is.
Kubernetes orchestrates running jobs, giving them all required prerequisites and data in the form of Docker containers and can record or report logs, as well as store configuration and secrets. Jenkins orchestrates Jenkins agents running jobs on pre-configured servers, stores configuration and secrets, and records and archives logs and built files. They are both very similar from this perspective. There’s no reason Jenkins couldn’t attach a monitoring system to run a Jenkins job when a service goes down or exceeds capacity. And you probably would prefer storing secrets and files off your Jenkins server if your builds are distributed or you run out of space. Basically... Jenkins is an orchestration service but most people run short-lived tasks with it, and they have to worry about configuring and deploying Jenkins agent images separately.
How many of these satellites can they orbit with 1 Falcon launch?
>I fully expect to see these tools start to become available over the next decade or so, given the current progress of program synthesis I see in the academic literature.

Interesting. I did know about program verification efforts (trying to prove that programs are correct), but had never heard of program synthesis (assuming it is somewhat different from code generation). Do you know of any examples of the kinds of areas it can be applied to?
Yeah, as someone who sees people drive past, staring at their phones, as I ride my bike around... I don't have a ton of sympathy. It's a privilege, not a right.
No but that looks awesome. The VR game is based on a screenplay I wrote that is Blade Runner meets China Town. Water Knife looks like something I'd like. Adding to vacation reads list! Thanks!
MediaGoblin was the hope. It sounds like it might not have lost its developers if it hadn't gotten massively sidetracked by all the social networking federation stuff that was honestly always completely off brand for something that isn't a Twitter clone. You can't do anything about that now, of course, but putting it in a more accessible forge than Savannah might be a good start.

Is there a proof of this somewhere? Operations that seem vaguely similar, like doubling repeatedly, can be easy to "parallelize".

It's interesting we are not getting any Xi loyalists posting here. Not even any trolls who try to divert the discussion with whataboutism. Maybe they have finally realized they are not going to be able to persuade the world that Xi is great, or at least not any worse than anyone else.
> My complaint is these features are abused by nasty people who you end up having to work with

I mean, not being able to edit or remove messages, by one's own and those of others in the case of a moderator, can be just as susceptible to abuse.

Abusive messages not being able to be removed, potentially and needlessly staying in front of hundreds or thousands of users' eyes is one issue I can come up with off the top of my head. Especially true for IRC clients that provide image previews for posted spam links if those links contain disturbing content (and no, it's not a reasonable response to expect people to turn those off; people can enjoy media the way they want, not just the way you deem fit).

> When I can't trust software running on my own machines to accurately tell me what someone said yesterday that's unacceptable

Just as well Discord, Slack, and others put a little "(edited)" annotation next to edited messages. Plus, one can only edit one's own messages; moderators cannot edit other peoples' messages as they can on forums.

> I don't think there's any bigger work around than having to screenshot an app every time certain people send you a message

Bots can log messages, including message editing and deletion events. If your preferred Discord/Slack server provides a public log, that sorts that out; if it's your own Discord/Slack server, you can provide your own bot. These can be as simple as 20 lines of Python, maybe less. I'm sure services like Mattermost, which seems to be the top open Slack clone, would facilitate these features more easily.

I would imagine Mozilla would keep logs. Further, Discord also automatically provides a moderation log to keep a history of all those events.

It really sounds like you're inventing to do with software with which you've little experience.
If you have time you could write it up in advance and publish it on the 15th. I say this because I think your post is more likely to be read by more people if you are able to publish it coinciding with the event. That way you can also share the link with anyone IRL that you meet at the ceremony who asks you for more details about it, and in turn it is more likely that some of said people share your post on social media, leading to even more people reading your post.
>I really wish I could unplug my internet cable for a while each day, but people would freak if I were not easily accessible.

I had the luxury of living without internet for about two months last year. It was very influential. I would save up a list of things I needed to use the internet for, and do it on public wifi on the weekends. The rest of the week I was offline. Naturally this lead to more productive and proactive browsing (like saving documentation for offline viewing (or simply learning to navigate offline docs), locally storing wiki articles/blog posts/potentially relevant youtube videos, and using RSS feeds for efficient browsing on limited time).

Now that I have internet again, I've re-implemented some of those methods, like limiting my use of web browsers, especially full blown graphical ones like Firefox. For example, instead of surfing youtube, I use a script that takes my search and downloads the first x videos returned (or just download whole playlist with youtube-dl). I try to use $browser for less than an hour per day, and have found that postponing launching Firefox until later in the day (but not too late) helps - so those little scripts help a lot by not being potential "cans-o-worms". At some point, I go through my list of internet-todos I've gathered during the day, realize most of them were just stupid time sinks anyway, and then search or address the ones that survived. I've also kept the "proactive browsing" habit, and storing a lot of stuff locally (even whole websites).

Of course, for more urgent tasks, like things that could a quick solution /now/, I don't hesitate to launch $browser, but I try not to deviate from completing said urgent task and closing the browser as soon as it's done - no tangential searching allowed.

I guess one way to sum up the workflow I'm trying to achieve is a "power users" approach to the NoSurf[0] philosophy.

In Month After ‘13 Reasons Why’ Debut on Netflix, Study Finds Teen Suicide Grew
why is this even posted here?
If there’s any corner cutting here it’s around AoA sensor redundancy and flight worthiness testing.

The reason MCAS is there is that the 737 was too low to the ground to fit newer, bigger, more fuel-efficient engines under the wing, which is what Boeing’s customers wanted, so they had to move the engines forward and compensate for the resulting handling effects in software.

Without some form of MCAS there would be no 737-MAX at all, and it’s not fair to say that the whole plane was a corner cutting exercise either, it was an attempt to improve an older, proven design driven by customer demand.
> A functional language is going to be easy to learn because it "looks like other languages"? "C-family syntax" is what makes a language easy to learn?

Facebook had the same rationale with Reason, so it's not unusual.

https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/what-and-why

>Reason is not a new language; it's a new syntax and toolchain powered by the battle-tested language, OCaml. Reason gives OCaml a familiar syntax geared toward JavaScript programmers, and caters to the existing NPM/Yarn workflow folks already know.
Yep, that is an unjustified risk. On the other hand, people would also hold a map draped over the steering wheel or beside them. That relates directly to the operation of the vehicle and is in fact needed to operate the vehicle, so it is justified.

The same distinction should apply with phones. Browsing the news and playing games is not OK. The risk is unjustified because it is not necessary to operate the vehicle. Running a map program is justified. The alternative would be something awful, such as parking right on the freeway to look for directions.

I’ve worked in real estate private equity, specifically office acquisitions, my entire 15 year career and I can say I used to despise WeWork as much as everyone here.

After doing the work to understand the business, however, I now take a contrarian position:

WeWork is legit.

They may not be worth $47bn, and many of these non-office endeavors may prove silly, but the coworking side is here to stay. And it is transforming (dare I say, disrupting) the old line, conservative office real estate industry.

WeWork has collapsed the design-build value chain such that they can build workplaces in one-half the time as the rest of us, at a 40% discount. It’s staggering.

> Out of context, "it's ok to be white" is not a disagreement with the phrase "it is not ok to be white", it is a disagreement with the phrase "it is ok to be non-white."

This is the exact same argument, almost word-for-word as saying that the phrase "Black Lives Matter" disparages non-Black lives by supposedly implying that they "don't" Matter. And it's clearly wrong, in both cases. Contrary to popular misconception, Exceptio probat regulam de rebus non exceptis is not a generally-applicable principle of English semantics.
Would be cool to see "no-code" as one of the flavors here. I'm betting on it being possible to empower non-engineers to make apps in a startup I'm working on AppsCanvas (https://appscanvas.com) which is a platform for building out apps with integrated an API / backend. Basically a whole app building & deployment system wrapped up for non-technical people.

I've been putting a lot of thought into low-code, and what the right escape hatches are to allow developers to use a tool like mine without feeling constrained. That's proving to be tough to balance though!
It's a radio technology, so yeah. Similar problem space as WLAN, at least in the sat -> earth direction.
Gitlab lets you run any step with a different docker base image. How about instead of bash scripting in the yaml, you just put scripts, in any language, in a docket file, and simply use bash to call those scripts. The gitlab yaml is not designed for you to code in, bash is just a standard interface for calling into other things.
Yes. LEO is a lot lower.
