You'd be surprised. I've seen tons of men shave beards and instantly look 10-20 years younger. And my personal experience is that the years spent shaving my face and then applying balm means I was getting carded well into my late 20s until last year.

If you ever did want to shave your beard, have a professional do it first and then maintain it with your own razor. And try different blades if you go with a double-edge safety razor. GP uses Feather, but Feather blades cut the crap out of my face. I've also used Gillette Silver Blue, which irritate my neck but work pretty well otherwise. And I've settled on Gillette Platinum which work really well for my face even dull.

Another tip is getting the water hot enough to make a good lather. A lot of modern apartment buildings set the water heaters low enough that I can't get a good lather, so I usually have to boil water in an electric kettle and then mix it down to a good shaving temperature.

It's totally worth it.

There's a bunch of "plugins" for Emacs (and vim, I guess, that provide that, but I wouldn't know). xcscope largely does what I want and I've successfully used it on very large codebases (think Linux kernel + vendor-supplied HAL + a very large amount of userspace code).

It's hard to beat an IDE on a large, disorganised codebase though, I'd lie if I said I only use Emacs and never reach out for an IDE.
Glad to see this, being that my 2018 MBP unit has been serviced 6x cumulatively (3x keyboard, 2x logic board, 1x display) and replaced entirely 1x.

I am not a fan of the time it takes to drive to the store 2x, talk with several levels of tech support, and ultimately spend $4.5k on a “loaner” since Apple doesn’t have a loaner laptop program.
They believe they can bear the expense of this policy better than their competition, and in particular they don't want to compete with lower-cost-lower-quality firms. So it's both a (presumably sincere) ethical position and a form of anti-competitive regulatory capture. I think most minimum wage laws have some of this Baptists-and-bootleggers effect.
Using the words "slavery" and "coercion" makes taxes sound like a horrible idea, but I don't think it's a radical idea to have clean public toilets paid for by taxes.
My point was that you won't put enough force on either of them to discern a difference without a cheater bar. Maybe if it's a very small wrench.

I'd like to see you torque a 1" harbor freight wrench to the point of failure with your bare hands. I don't think you could do it even with your full body weight or something to push off of.

There are certainly cases where products differ enough in quality that there are pragmatic reasons to avoid some brands and prefer others. But I think standard wrenches are a poor example if you're trying to convey this point.
That's ambiguous. Uber could say "we pay them $21 per hour, and they are expected to pay for their gas/expenses out of that" and it what they said is still true.

He is a good host. The hate he gets is from bringing up the same topics over and over and hosting unlikable people.

Bringing up the same topics is likely because he has so much content that there is going to be repeat work. Bringing on guests that many other shows wouldn't have has resulted in him being called being a mouthpiece for the alt-right. I've heard him called a gateway into the alt right.

Of course I meant editors which I know and tried like vscode. I don't know Textadept, so it may be easy to write quick scripts in it.

As for your C-d example, it's a trivial function in emacs which I too wrote many years ago and bound to C-d, so it's not a compelling example, because it can be added trivially in emacs too.
>Going further, I note that the ideal bond length was given to me with just two significant digits, suggesting that an error of one part in a billion is much smaller than our uncertainty in measuring the “true” bond length in the first place.

Bonds are flexible and can hold mechanical stress, so there is only a "preferred" length, not a guaranteed length.
> barring any other activity with greater utility

I can think of a number of activities that would provide greater utility than attemting to impregnate as many women as possible.

I'm not a pure utilitarian and I see a distinction between the concepts of morality and utility. Mostly because I'm not capable of gauging utility all the time, so I can fall back on broader moral principles.

> I see tribalism as one of the most destructive forces of the last decade, responsible for almost all big changes (and lack of change) in the world.

Go further back. The Civil War could be viewed as large-scale tribalism. After that, there were regional and ethnic tribalisms. The World Wars pushed us into a bigger tribalism - the US became one giant tribe. (It still had the smaller tribalisms, but they became less important.) That kind of held through the 50s. In the late 60s, the hippie movement could be regarded as a new tribalism (and a rejection of the old one). The US "big tribalism" has been progressively fragmenting into a number of "small tribalisms" since then.
I think the person you're replying to is implying that one company cannot just pay their workers a super high wage without losing to its competitors.

Competition will keep the wages as low as possible so this change must be done at the systemic level so that Uber and all of its competitors have to make this change at the same time. The only forseeable way to do this is government policy.

The BAT is used for more than contributions. The token has a distinct use case as the unit of account for attention and services on the platform.

That would basically be suicide bombing the "ride share" industry though. Everyone is losing money hand over fist. Increasing that amount will kill everyone just as dead but do it faster decreasing the amount of time that Uber, or anybody, would be able to figure out how to be profitable. I can see how faced with a binary choice between $21/hr and classifying as employees $21/hr is better but it's not a binary choice. They can pay off politicians (indirectly and with plausible deniability of course) or do other dirty things (this is Uber we're talking about here) to get the law changed.

When Investors Say Yes but Mean No
Same experience for me around 2004/5. Low traffic site, when it was enough to cash out they shut down the account.
False equivalence: A private driver typically wasn't driving a car that had their kid's car seat in it, blaring the music they prefer, in a 2006 Toyota Corolla, and (rightfully so) treating me like a potential threat (many drivers, especially female, have cameras for their protection).
> our community relies on to supplement their income, support their families

While their marketing promotes driving as a fun side gig, their PR defending their labor practices includes supporting families.

It's not surprising coming from corporate PR, but the selective choice of arguments is pretty obvious.

But then again, in a society where the general populace's basic welfare is largely left to market forces, maybe it's not a stretch for corporations to make the claim that supporting families is among their side-effects (but not objectives).
I believe that 100 years is optimistic. I would say that it's hundreds of years away if it's going to happen at all.

My bet is that humans will go the route of enhancing themselves via hardware extensions and this symbiosis will create the next iteration(s) in our evolution. Once we get humans that are in a league of their own with regards to intelligence they will continue the cycle and create even more intelligent creatures. We may at some point decide to discard our biological bodies but it's going to be a long transition instead of a jump and the intelligent creatures that we create will have humans as a base layer.
Minimum wage policies in this sector are such a boon to self driving car companies. It will accelerate the end of uber and lyft using human drivers dramatically. I hope these unions realize what they're doing.
Most of linux's userland is GNU, including the well-used bash,gcc,grep,tar,ls,etc (it's why he rather annoyingly insists on people calling it GNU/linux). So to say nobody uses it is very, very false. Nobody uses the GNU kernel HURD, which is what you're thinking of.

That being said, he's a very eccentric person and his contributions to computing in the last 20ish years have been minimal. GCC has been losing market share to llvm and bash to zsh/fish. You could also argue that had he never created GNU, BSD would be where linux is today and we'd be just as well, if not better, off.
He has nothing against javascript. He is against non-free javascript which is just non-free software running in your browser. Using Openstreetmap is fine because you don't have to run non-free software on your computer.

Almost all proprietary javascript is obfuscated and tracks everything you do, will identify you and can compromise your system. It's no different than any other non-free software maybe with some better (but nowhere near perfect) isolation from your system provided by the browser you are using.

There are also pretty good free mobile map apps that are on f-droid.

That's a great analogy, and it further proves my point: suicide is murder, and nobody has a right to take their own life, because it doesn't only belong to them, but to society also, to anyone they have or may ever have obligations to.
> “drivers would earn a minimum of approximately $21 per hour while on a trip, including the costs of their average expenses.”

"while on a trip", aka "not really $21/hour", because even in extremely dense areas, drivers have downtime between trips, during which they typically have to either drive around aimlessly, find a place to idle/park, or drive to their next pickup.
It's true that they're experimental, but it's extremely unlikely they'll be removed. The only reason they weren't stable in the most recent version of perl is because of some interactions with subroutine attributes (specifically, :lvalue) which needed some tweaking. We use them everywhere at Fastmail and they're great.

Which is to say: a lot of the reason they're still experimental is because Perl's commitment to backward compatibility. Other languages might have said "oh well," but Perl 5 said "oh, an unintended consequence that might break real uses in the wild; we should wait another year."

He held a talk at my university recently. During the QA, every time a student asked RMS a question, he would spend 2 minutes correcting the formulation of the question, and then dismissing the actual question with a snarky remark.

For instance, one student asked something about RMS being the "CEO" of FSF, followed by snarky remarks by RMS that "FSF is not a company and that he is actually the president".
(I might remember wrong, but it was something along those lines)

I understand and respect him and his beliefs, but his personality just annoys me.
Haha so you know the feeling well.

Makes sense, guessing not many high schools even had one computer until the Apple II, which I guess would have been a bit after you graduated.

I disagree with the parent poster's phrasing, but they have a point: CUDA (for GPUs) and IPSC (for CPUs) makes SIMD code far easier to write.

I think OpenMP / Intel Autovectorizers / etc. etc. are all taking the wrong approach. The "graphics guys" have figured out a better model for thinking in SIMD.

With that being said, normal code has major issues before it can be converted into "Graphics-SIMD" form. Most importantly: data-layout is straight up "wrong", with most data-layouts in AOS (array of structs) instead of SOA form.

Writing code that interfaces between AOS and SOA is tedious, and I'm unconvinced that any general solution can be done automatically. (Remember: the key is to convert between the forms "efficiently", because the only reason we're putting up with SIMD at all is due to performance reasons).
HDR is great for the use-case when you can bound your range beforehand and merging is not a requirement, but those were also the reasons we needed to develop DDSketch.

The missing open source funding is sitting in plain sight

But these large companies do massively fund open source. They just do it by having their engineers create open source software, rather than paying money to independent engineers.

Kubernetes, TypeScript, Go, Tensorflow, React, Angular, these open source libraries have had millions of dollars of engineer time put into them, and that cost was primarily paid by large tech companies.

How to Motivate Yourself
You might give ActiveCollab a shot. I've spent 16 years going through various project/product management systems and it's one of the only ones that springs to mind when you mention sharing client access like that and trying to keep things user-friendly.

That said, if you're using the service desk stuff from Jira I might stay with it. I understand the pain of having to administer Jira and how it creates project-specific EVERYTHING on the backend (workflows, et al.) but it's great for end users and it's super flexible.
So there are 730 hours in a month. You're insured for all of them, but you might be driving for only 200 of them, and a portion of that won't be "on a trip". What percentage of the monthly commercial drivers insurance cost are they counting as expenses?

Same thing with maintenance. Yeah, that oil change may have cost $40... but none of it was incurred while on a trip.
I think the CDT programmes in various fields are also pretty good at preparing people for industry careers. A lot of PhD projects are either aiming to address industrial concerns and are industry funded or are tangentially related, and people who aren't industry funded benefit by getting exposure to that world through their colleagues.

Who says they'll bear the cost? I'm not sure forcing all of these services to jack up their prices is bad for Uber if they can increase their overall margin while doing so. They just can't do it today if the competition won't follow suit.

Yes, they lose some volume but Uber/Lyft is probably a pretty strongly engrained habit for many at this point.
You're conflating market economies (that have been around since basically forever and that no one except the most hardcore anarcho-primitivists are attacking) and modern day capitalism (which has been around since the Industrial Revolution and is characterized by its lack of upper limit on wealth accumulation).
I don't know how you draw that conclusion. The goal of the FSF, since the beginning, has been to make a computing platform that the user has full control over. They aren't the ones trying to push everyone's data into the cloud.

This simultaneously reduces the race to the bottom of pricing for ride sharing while capping what Uber will pay at $21/hour[0].

It also depends on whether 'badness' is a property of energy or velocity. Velocity goes with sqrt(distance) as you've demonstrated, but energy is directly proportional to distance in this case.
This is always the disconnect between what should be in the regulations and what ends up being in them every time.

All of them start with a legitimate problem and then we get policy that have a wider scope or details even dumber than what the companies are doing (see GDPR fining a small Austrian retail store $4k because they had a single surveillance camera too broadly pointed at a sidewalk). Often pushed for by competition and often only designed for big mega companies like Google not the small ones who would normally replace Google in the future with something better.

Most importantly unlike the companies and their policies which change and die, the regulations live long after the original problem has either faded in importance or every new better company comes around and are forced to jump through hoops because of Google's behaviour (assuming they even try).
which is why you want more tracing and less logging.
log messages are always an art and I myself am a poor artist when it come to predicting what is both necessary and useful enough to log without overall increasing the log noise.

Tracing will show you the distributed behavior, but the best log, at most, can only show you the current state of information on a single service on a single node even when you aggregate. Tracing also works hand in hand because the correlation id should associate with the relevant log message when you do decide to drill down.
