> I may just have been lucky or it might have helped that I still drink tea with caffeine

He was surprised that you don't get caffeine cravings if you continue to take in caffeine.

> Maybe I expected it to be much more difficult based on my own experience with giving up smoking about nine years ago.

Maybe its because he didn't take up smokeless nicotine products, like snuff or chewing tobacco!

The author talks of feeling like an addict for drinking coffee, but now that he gets caffeine from tea, he can truly conquer the world.

That's not unlike a wino taking up beer for a couple weeks... eventually it sinks in that all that changed is the flavour.

From me, this article hears the sound of no hands clapping.
It seems very Musk-y to paint Tesla as a victim like this. It's entirely possible that CNBC critiques all [tech] companies equally, or that Tesla actually deserves this scrutiny. Personally I feel like I see a lot more negative than positive mentions across all media. Given the way Musk handles bad press, deflects blame and plays fast and loose with safety, I tend to think it's deserved. Nice battery technology isn't enough to excuse their countless missteps.

I went back to University in my late twenties after six years away. While I worked in the tech industry as a developer, I hadn’t done any actual math since University calculus nearly nine years before.

My first semester back, I had a calculus course. It was an absolute nightmare. I knew that if I had taken the class fresh out of high school, I would have dominated it. But, I didn’t. I fucked up and dropped out. Now, I was completely fucked...

But, I passed that class, went on and finished a degree. I got through that class with a few strategies:

1.) I told my professor the truth. When I went to speak to him, I was prepared for him to tell me that I just wasn’t qualified. To my surprise, when I told him how long I had been away from school, he wasn’t actually surprised. He told me that because of the work I did, I likely had the capacity to pass the class, I’d just need to work a little harder to “re-remember” that I knew it. He suggested two strategies. I had made some friends in the class, so he gave us permission to hand in one copy of the weekly assignments as a group. The second strategy was to go and investigate the tutoring opportunities my University made available to mature students.

2.) My university had several opportunities for mature students. They had regular math labs where people like me could go in, ask the most incredibly stupid questions and get really good answers. One particular graduate student helped me way more than I deserve and even took me to the bookstore to find a good introductory Calculus text.

3.) Working in the group was really amazing. First, I learned to trust myself. A large percentage of the time, I was actually doing things correctly. But, my time away convinced me that I couldn’t trust my instincts. Having two friends to say “you dumb fuck, you’re doing that right” helped so much. Second and most importantly, that first semester back was a huge shock and I wanted to drop out many times. Being part of a group where I had to meet up with two people twice a week kept me in school.

4.) “Re-remember” become a personal mantra. Writing that ‘word’ still hurts, but holy shit, was that ever an important concept for my ego.
>The same mentality can be seen in the West too.

Most demonstrated, IMPE, by the phrase, "You have nothing to fear, if you have nothing hide."
Or they just don't think it should be normal for companies to spy on you, regardless of how it's compensated.

Really? AFAIK, The Teslas are the only ones that get 3.2s 0-60 for about $50k USD. What other production models can do this for cheaper than $50k?
> Why do you keep calling this "magic"? Packages in Haiku are file systems. This is in fact how AppImage also works, which you seem to like. Are you complaining about how AppImage is internally implemented?

It's possible I'm misunderstanding here, but aren't hpkgs mounted in an overlay fashion? That's not how AppImages work. But also, AppImages are designed to deal with the shortcomings of Linux, unfortunately necessitating some complexity. One would expect a fledgling OS like Haiku would have more flexibility.

> So far, the "technical restrictions" you have referred to in this comment are actually incorrect, they are simply "there is no GUI" not "this is not possible with the present design."

If the functionality isn't exposed to the user it may as well not exist. And if it is as straight forward as you claim (which I doubt), why hasn't it been done? You seem to be motivated to shut me the hell up enough that you've probably spent the requisite amount time arguing on the internet about it already.

> And which one of us has spent 5+ years both working inside said system as a developer, and on said system as a user, and in the community of said system with the other users who use said system on a daily basis, some even as a daily diver?

I'm not arguing that this isn't what Haiku users want, I'm arguing that it isn't what I want, because that's the primary determinant for me.

> No. That is not what my "in the minority" has (largely) meant. It has meant that "we did not implement X because few people seem to want/need X and we have very little time in the first place,"

"95% usecase", you say, but you can't even determine the order of magnitude of your current user base (is it hundreds or thousands?), let alone any potential future users. But whatever, lets accept that as true. I don't care. I'm not saying you should do it my way, I'm saying I don't like the way it is done. That's all. Appealing to your rationale for why you don't do it my way isn't going to convince me otherwise.

> Correct. But you can add another hard-coded blessed path to the system with two lines of code and a recompile.

Holy shit. I have to actually recompile? That's some Linux-grade badness there.

> We would almost certainly accept a patch that added blessed paths via a configuration file. (Again, this seems to be rarely needed or requested; this does not mean it is not a valid usecase, it means our precious little time will be spent first on more important things. Patches and/or sponsorships wanted.)

I don't think blessed paths are a good solution in the first place (see: magic). There should be no such thing, files and folders are just files and folders and structure should be entirely up to the user.

But anyway, as I keep saying, it is completely fine that you guys, the people actually doing the work, do things the way you see fit. Yes, I get that you have relatively limited time, as we all do (there's a reason my desktop os ideas aren't actually a project yet). However, and again as I keep saying, that doesn't mean I have to agree with your choices.
Automated kiosks for ordering aren't new - they date back about to the 1890s. They actually went out of fashion in the 1950s-60s when wages grew the fastest and died out entirely in 1991.
To repeat back your own line, sources?

Are you making the claim the rich now live forever and the poor die much younger compared to previous years? They do still include the poor in the average.

CoL has everything to do with the poor and their quality of life. A $0.10 raise in the price of a gallon of milk has no effect on the middle class and a dramatic effect on those living in poverty.

While there are nutritional issues with McDonalds (far too much fat, not enough vegetables, too much sugar in many of their products), you probably aren't going to be malnourished if you eat their food. Chicken/Beef, bread, some starches and fats. That's not an altogether terrible diet, it certainly isn't unsalted rice for 3 meals a day.
For me car buying is almost an "impulse buy" because I drive cars into the ground. The car has become chronically unreliable and in need of constant repairs, or it has been totaled.

My family owns one car so losing the car is a minor crisis that needs quick resolution, and that resolution is going to be hasty rather than deliberate. I'm not going to worry about being overcharged $2000 on a new car, that's the price of being able to drive off the lot immediately.

Some car dealers are spoken of highly by their employees and customers; a good car salesperson on a good day can meet your needs brilliantly.

My only real complaint about it is that the new car business is less competitive in many towns than it was in the 1990-2010 era: often it is the same dealer who will sell you Chevy, or a Toyota or Dodge (which has access to Italian exotic cars through Fiat...)

Still, car dealerships train techs, who often become the shade tree mechanics who themselves shine.

My dad went into an AMC dealership in the 1970s and bought a Gremlin (Civic, Corolla, Cavalier, Neon, Bug...) against the advice of a salesperson and returned it after 18 months because it was not a product that the salesperson was proud of.

The landlord of a building I worked in bought a bitchin' Corvette for $35k in cash during the 2008 crisis because he had the money and could hold out to get a great deal.

My routine with audiobooks:

Cardio: stationary bike, jumping rope, stair climbing.
Body weight: some for abs some for lower back. I learned and picked a few from the youtube channel Athlean X. I personally feel we need those exercises to combat the long hours we sit everyday.
And stretching! It was so boring before audiobooks I never stretch, now I stretch before and after.

Feel free to experiment to find your own optimal routine, since we have different schedules and access to equipments. I guess the idea is with audiobooks experimenting can be fun too. Even cleaning the house is fun now with audiobooks :D
Wow, didn't realize GraphQL ist THAT old!
> Not sure how you exercise to audiobooks

If you lift weights, there's a lot of waiting involved between sets. You can listen to stuff while you're idle, and then hit pause as you're doing your reps.

When you're just starting out you may only need 90s rest, but as you progress to higher loads, that will rise to (say) three minutes, and then even longer the more 'advanced' you get.
Is this technically a witch hunt? Cause it sure seems so. No proof, no suspicion, just one man’s conspiracy theory.
Yeah I mean that comment is about achieving challenge/response without storing something password-like; obviously a non-challenge/response login is not going to be a counterexample.

While CR does not need the full force of public key crypto it has properties which require a distinctive subset of those features in this context—I want to be able to take a password and derive two values (K, V) such that g(V, f(K, s)) = h(V, s) for some large family of s'es, but f(K, s) cannot be computed as j(V, s) efficiently. Public key crypto is more or less the case where h(V, s) = s, giving an option to maybe do something interesting when h is nontrivial.
Oddly enough, Heaviside's name has been heard in song by tens of millions of people in recent years.

In the musical Cats, every Jellicle Cat hopes to be the one chosen to ascend to the Heaviside Layer.

This may be a metaphorical place in the play, but it is also an actual layer of the ionosphere. Oliver Heaviside and Arthur Kennelly (working independently) predicted its existence in 1902, and it was confirmed in 1924 by Edward Appleton.

Cats is based on the 1939 book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. Shortwave radio was a big deal at the time, and anything to do with radio signals and propagation caught the public's attention.

Today, the Heaviside Layer is known as the E layer, and is much beloved by amateur radio operators for its unpredictable propagation known as "sporadic E skip".

Tesla has shown time and time again that they care for their customers, giving free services and even upgrades. This is just another CNBC attack on TSLA for whatever reason.
