> Toned down my habit of almost compulsorily seeing the good in people.

Do you think this is a good thing? I've personally tried to do the complete opposite, and I think it's thoroughly improved my life and mental wellbeing.

I think it's very possible to be introspective and aware of oneself while still seeing the good in everyone.

I hope you feel better :) Life has it's ups and downs, and I've found that time fixes most of it - we just have to learn to enjoy the ride (which can be nigh impossible at times, don't get me wrong)
Typo on your landing page, guy. "satisfaciton"
That article says that the oldest ice in the core was 2.7 million years old. It actually mentions gaps in the record and ability to date ice only with a 100k year margin of error. This does not imply that we have a continuous record of carbon levels for the past 2.7M years.
Fuji are among the best "keepers" in the industry -- they'll last a year in marketable condition if kept in proper controlled-atmosphere storage. Kind of like the modern Ben Davis, except they taste good!

Diablo is basically Angband in real time, with commercial polish.

If you choose to define Roguelike to include permadeath or that it must be turn based, then it is not, of course. But if Diablo is not a roguelike, its next door neighbor is.
Ok, fine - let's say you're going to inherit $100k and the art.
It sounds like we're coming back around to the idea that curation can add value when it is done right.
Yes, dishonest (maybe to yourself) or naive. Try not to behave too reactively on a call out for handwaving or ignorance, it makes you appear more biased, partial, and unable to evaluate things honestly.

$80k average is very low if we are to believe that these workers can’t be found in the USA, where the average for a tech worker is significantly higher at >$110k. Also, the minimum H1B wage is still $60k, which seems to encourage companies to try anything to get approval for what amounts to the wages of junior and intern level employees. You can see this low minimum is clearly being utilized since the average is $30k cheaper annually. The average H1B wage alone tells you the wages are purposefully bid underneath the average tech worker as a cost savings. If the talent actually could not be found from citizens, the wages (price) would obviously be above what citizens are paid. Basic economics.

You want to make your case based on the long-term unemployment statistic? It is a poor measurement to trot out here, since the definition of the measurement will no longer count individuals that exit the field or give up searching or no longer fit in the period of measurement. All it says is that inside the period of measurement, the individuals being measured did not report to the survey lottery that they were claiming unemployment benefits or that they were seeking a replacement job. I know of no one who has ever been contacted by such a survey, so it is difficult to place any faith in the results that are measured outside of unemployment benefits. What is not answered is whether U.S. citizen tech workers are actually working in tech or properly utilizing their skills, experience, or degree. Just because people are employed doing something does not mean people are not perhaps chronically underemployed. In fact we know this in a modern chronic issue in many fields (STEM, etc.).

The history of the tech sector is rife with examples of people that are self-taught or transitioned into a tech job without a degree to speak of (HS drop-outs too). I don’t think you can make a blanket statement that people that didn’t choose CS as their initial degree are lower quality than an individual from another nation that likely (highly likely) completed a CS degree with the very intent of increasing their chances of immigrating.

It may be difficult for you to process why citizens want to address the issues in the H1B system because dare I say you might be biased?
Can you share your learnings / point me in the right direction for learning about attachment theory? That sounds really interesting!

I can relate! Made development so much nicer for me.
It's hard to explain otherwise why the poster would (i) choose that example, (ii) explicitly mention that it's a gay sex scene, and (iii) include a dismissive statement that's kind-of-but-not-quite in support of gay rights. A generic complaint about gratuitous sex scenes would make no sense in the context of this discussion. People are complaining about shows being overly woke, not overly sexual. The poster gives the relevant scene as an example of a "political trope".
Content creation? Unjustifiably huge budgets on stars, sets and effects with pocket change relatively speaking for the scripts and stories, especially after the first season. $100m to buy a minor series about comedians in cars that cost $100k an episode to make. $100m! No wonder their financials look ropy.

> Didn't we beg for the ability to pick and choose what we actually want to pay for

Erm, no? Don't know about the US but the UK experience of cable and satellite was a basic package with dire content, then every interesting thing was £££ extra. By the time you had a reasonable selection you were at £50-£100 a month. more if you wanted the sport channels. So we didn't cable cut, we never signed up in the first place. Compared to the licence fee it was always appalling value. Netflix want nearly a whole BBC yearly licence fee, and deliver a tiny fraction of the content. Not that I like all the Beeb do. :)

When we cancel Netflix (very soon going on current programmes), it'll be back to terrestrial only as none of the streaming services now have "enough". So whatever comes to the BBC and Channel 4 then. I'd start torrenting again before subscribing to Amazon, Disney or whoever just to watch one interesting series, then hope I remember to cancel timely enough.

That shouldn't too hard to make some personal progress on.
They are hard to compare directly, since the "magic" of down is its compressibility, whereas aerogels are typically rigid. Eiderdown is actually on the lower end of elite downs as far as loft, which is measured as "Fill Power" (FP): https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Fill-power-values-from-e...

That said, there is a new synthetic sleeping bag insulation that is using some amount of added aerogel fragments. Compared to that, high FP goose down of 800 or 900 FP is still much better insulation per ounce: https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/new-ul-synthetic-i....

I don't know if it's in any way a useful comparison, but combining the two links, one might conclude that eiderdown at a 500 FP is about as insulating as PrimaLoft Gold with added aerogel.
It's not immediately obvious, but iNSYNQ provides hosting for QuickBooks Desktop as a virtual desktop service (think VNC or RDP). This is distinct from Intuit's own QuickBooks Online cloud service, which I believe is unaffected by this breach.

I was concerned because one of my clients' customers rely heavily on QuickBooks Online and her app integrates heavily with it.

I don't see why the "zen of Python" shouldn't be applied to its tools too. Tools are part of the developer experience and few/none of the statements/guidelines in the zen of Python are exclusive to Python the programming language.

Regardless of what pyenv, the rest of my comment about the complexity of Python's tooling still stands. There's too many choices. I also seen people use pyenv as an alternative to virtualenvs, which is something I have never seen with nvm.

I don't understand why the Python community hasn't coalesced around a single solution to package management that has minimal complexity. It seems like pipenv is the solution, but there is controversy around it and it should have come several years ago. The fact that Python packages are installed globally by default is also pretty terrible, I much prefer it when applications bundle their dependencies. When I do `npm install --global`, the resulting program will always work, regardless of what other packages I have installed on my system.

> Any critiques on Python-the-language?

The point of my original comment was not to necessarily critique the Python programming language, rather it was to point out that adhering to the "zen of Python" is a lost cause because the language/development environment is not designed as a curated experience.

And my original comment did make points about Python-the-language. I talked about how there's many ways to do a single task in Python. One of the responses to it even proved my point:

"Prior to that you could use the special two-argument version of the `iter` function which makes it act completely different than the single argument version: <code sample>".

That unfortunately demonstrates my point.

Twitter App for iOS 12.3.1
> the replies to this Twitter post can be pulled into you article/post and listed as comments

I think that wouldn't work because of copyright and Terms of Use. Probably somewhere in Twitter's ToU there's something that says you cannot copy Twitter discussions and add to your own website. — If you study Twitter's ToU, probably the people who post to Twitter, never gave you permission to include their tweets on your blog.

I like the idea, and would want to do sth simiar, but just linking to tweets, instead of "downloading" them to the blog. And the blog author could write a summary of what the Twitter discussion is about (what sub topic related to the blog post, the Twitter discussion discusses), next to the link.

I'd also like to automatically find and link to discussions at HN and Reddit and Mastodon (in a commenting system I'm developing, seem my profile)
This is just a really obvious clamp down on free movement.

We already saw what happens when state and local governments get to print money with traffic cameras, and this will be the same. This will turn all traffic violations into a de facto always-on, retrospectively searchable sin tax.

The future looks bad. Worse than cell phone tracking and geolocation.
Org-Mode blows away Keep, unless you are using Keep on a stylus device like a Galaxy Note and use the pen to take notes. Org mode is made to manage a large or small number of files... even source code with TODO comments can be marshaled into an agenda. I'll toss a .org file in the top level of project and commit it in git... now I have a nice file with todos, deadlines and reference material. Since it's just text, it prints nicely and is very easy to manage.

As for media files, it's hyperlinks to media files.
There's probably something worth using in this tradeoff space, though this isn't it.
How browser extensions slurped up browsing histories from 4M users

You’re making the alluring mistake of thinking of a monolithic “we” who all want the same thing.

In reality people have many preferences and desires, and they pay for streaming services or not for a variety of reasons.

Some people are maybe sick of being stuck with a giant cable company and are happy to pay for many streaming services. Other people likely still have cable and use streaming to supplement that for specific shows. Others have different reasons.
I was expecting something simple like an extract from a zebrafish, but the treatment in the article is so much more than I expected. Definitely hope this sort of thing continues to develop.
And leave scroll bar rendering to the browser or OS vendors!?

Think of the pixels!

/s

Seriously though I believe it's often done to make infinite scrolling and scroll-transitions more visually pleasant. (Not that I agree with the sentiment, but if visuals are more important than anything else...)

Things I dislike about Netflix:

1. Auto-playing trailers

2. Stop showing me stuff I have already seen (I can search it if I want to). Atleast add a "don't show this again" button

3. Auto-playing stuff I have already seen to rub it in

4. No system of reviews/ratings - I have to manually check IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes

5. "More like this" doesn't really show things that are more like "this". Also, if I like a comedian's special and click "more like this" for their other works, I rarely get more than one or two

I am seriously contemplating to unsubscribe - hardly use it anyway due to lack of quality content.
Slowly but surely ransomware is becoming an absolute threat to all data. It seems more like not if but when it will hit.

It seems to me that it's time the OS providers start providing a very easy way to restore the state of data. We all know that backups are the answer but as long as people, have to think about it, there will always be some that don't do them. And now that you can get a 1TB HD for less that $100 then it's a no-brainer.

Virus protection is now automatic with Windows when will backups become automatic on all OSs?

+1 for Tramp. You can connect to SMB, ssh, and even docker containers from within Emacs. It's strictly better than using a remote ssh session with vim because you don't need to configure anything server-side. It would be a huge hassle to setup plugins like autocompletion on a remote machine for vim, but Emacs lets you use all your regular plugins while ssh'ing, which is a huge bonus.

Think of it this way, every time management tells you that there's no raise because of budget reasons, are you really going to take that at face value?

CapsLock = Esc

Alt-J = Down Arrow

Alt-K = Up Arrow

this is super useful in non vim editors that support vim bindings, and the browser with vimium. The arrow keys are for where you get a dropdown list and don't want to touch your arrow keys. In Visual Studio where I use vim keybindings ( using VsVim ) a lot of refactorings / auto complete gives dropdown options and this gives an easy way to select them without leaving your homerow.

as someone who also lives in Austin i have certainly found this to be the case. the only places that one can get a reasonably decent apple seem to be either sprouts, central market, or whole foods, but the problem there is the whole "we're all natural and responsibly sourced" tax that raises the price significantly and makes it an untenable position to maintain for someone like me who tends to have a lot of trouble generating reliable income

With all due respect, I'm looking at the front page of Voat right now, and articles like "Fucking jews want whites to eat this shit now 'for the environment'" and "Stop the Jewish war machine" don't appear to be presenting "valid opinions based on rationality", or a community which I should expect to be able to engage in honest, intellectual discourse.

I think it's a perfectly valid opinion on my part to consider this garbage and to not want its stench everywhere.

Not because I'm afraid to have my views challenged, or to be insulted, but because it shouldn't be my responsibility to have to turn every racist and bigot on the internet, particularly when opinions to the contrary abound and they could just as well educate themselves, and because it gets tiring to deal with this kind of nonsense all the time.
Looked for but didn't see this when I made my shockingly similar post.
It seems to me that every other month this certain company does something that is anti-their customer base, and maybe there's a market for people considering moving away from them?

I've been inspired lately by the people who do Pinboard and Arq - both seem to be doing the one-man-band software thing, making something small and niche yet making a living out of it.

Background info: Arq is a one-off purchase app that backs up to your cloud storage account (eg you have an AWS account with an S3 bucket, and Arq backs up to there).

I was thinking of making a native Mac app Dropbox clone that would be much like arq (as in, BYO storage account).

Eg it does automatic two-way sync of a folder to S3.

Eg a company could have an AWS S3 account, and buy a copy of this app for each staff member, and they could all sync to the same S3 account.

I'd charge like $30 for it, which is vs $120/year for dropbox, and your S3 / Backblaze B2 pricing would be tiny.

Do you think this is crazy?
Would you use it if I made it?

Do you think it's a good enough idea to put on indiegogo / kickstarter / producthunt and see if there's any traction before starting on this?

Thanks peeps
Why does Netflix need to make big budget shows?

Quite a few smaller (as well as bigger) markets do with cheaper smaller budget shows. Or are they hoping to corner the market before bringing down the hammer on production excess?
I hate the autoplay feature. I have to carefully move the mouse cursor along the grid between the thumbnails to avoid triggering it.
From my experience, cannabis can be medicine but most people just smoke bad stuff they don't know or get addicted to either real cannabis or the bad stuff.

I'd really like Netflix to add a feature of "hide this shitty show from me forever because I will never watch it", it would be an obvious win from a user's perspective.

Why don't Netflix provide this? Because people would quickly realize how little in their catalog is worth watching.
I just noticed I haven't been allowing any JS whatsoever from Wikipedia. Everything looks fine. I'm logged in and can edit, etc. (I fixed that now; all allowed).

But that's not my point; how did we go from "search engines shouldn't execute JS" to "you're out of touch if you think you can use the web without JS".

Even if I am as a Emacs and org-mode user in the ballpark for people who should be interested in it, and I especially like that it seems to be mobile-first, I'm not inclined to test it. And that is for the simple reason that I don't want to send my private data to Google or Dropbox. It would be nice to see Syncthing or Nextcloud sync first, and then additionally Dropbox and Google Drive as a cherry on top.
>> If Netflix doesn't make enough content that interests you then stop giving them money and give it to whoever does instead.

This isn't the alternative reality Netflix and others are fighting. People are just going to pirate it if they can't offer it easily and at a price that the market will accept. There is no escaping that. It is on them to adjust, not the consumers.

One reason I appreciate broadcast TV is the curation aspect of their limited playlists. The streaming recommendation systems are very lonely - I know they are algorithmic and personalized, and that nobody else will see the same outcome. With broadcast, a human does that work and it is shared among viewers; e.g. some show always airs on Thursdays at 8. Then there is the seasonal cadence, i.e. summer shows, fall/spring shows.

With algorithmic systems it sometimes feels like reading books written by a Markov chain toy.

"That is because a lump sum of $50K is a lump sum of $50K and what we are discussing is a recurring expense of around $100/mo. Those are two different values with different units."

If you feel like they are different, that's not something to debate.

But people trade one for the other all day, every day. You mentioned student loans. If you have a loan, you got a lump sum up front in exchange for a series of payments, so why are you saying you'd have to wait 40 years?
