>>She got her full refund but said she’s done buying food on Amazon.

After working at an Amazon fulfillment center and seeing how disgusting the bins can get when food is involved (leaks, maggots, bugs, mice, etc.) and how quality control can slip when incentives are skewed towards volume and speed, I came to the same conclusion long ago - I'm never buying food from Amazon.
Kind of. But the standard of trademark violation is not "did a competitor use it". The standard for violation is closer to: "was the trademark used in a way that might confuse customers over which products or services are authorized/provided by you".

I'm not a lawyer so obviously this is not legal advice.

Scoopex' Vectrex [1] was one of the first intros I saw on the Amiga, and I still have the music to it in my music library. It's not advanced by Amiga standards (I don't mean that to insult them; when it was released most demo groups were still learning the Amiga; it stood up fine alongside other releases at the time, but by a couple of years later it was a totally different ballgame) - I mostly remember it because it was a huge step up from the C64 I was used to, but it did impress me at the time.

As for being legendary, I think for many of these groups part of it is simply surviving. Very few had many enough members and/or members with close enough friendships to have longevity past people moving apart after school etc..

Of course part of that certainly is down to having grown to a certain status quickly enough to be attractive to be members of, so I'm not suggesting that longevity alone is enough.

But the sheer number of well received early releases gave them a reputation that made longevity much easier, and longevity makes maintaining that reputation a lot easier.

[as a total digression, only related in that it's about scene fame/status, this reminds me when I dug up the phone number for Strider of Fairlight from some release he made before he was well known and called him at his home in Sweden (recently he turned up as a Republican politician in California...) to try to convice him to swap with me; he was "famous" by then and I was an annoying little kid disturbing him at dinner; I wonder how often he got calls like that from total strangers in other countries - some of these people had a weird level of niche fame that most people have no idea about]

Public and private Git repos of markdown files that sync to Dropbox, so;

- I can use my IDE in desktop to search / change them.

- On iOS, iA Writer can access to markdown files

- I get PRs to my public notebook because it’s on Github: https://github.com/azer/notebook

- The format and tooling are unlimited. Images, sound files, jupyter notebooks, everything fits

- It’s not binded to a product or protocol. I have freedom to personalize it and keep it the way I want.

- It scales beautifully. It’s been 3 years since I started it.

- The only problem was to have same IDE style for both code and markdown, I solved it later: https://kodfabrik.com/journal/ia-writer-mode-for-emacs/

I’d recommend it for those looking for alternative options.

I recall reading somewhere that the reason for all this nonsense (don't forget this stuff too [1]) may be that the Conservative Party still wants to score points with their ultra-conservative base after legalising gay marriage.

V5 of Halogen is the nicest frontend framework I have ever used. It is a bit frustrating that the docs are taking so long to come out so it can be released properly, but in terms of using it the framework is good to go and in my opinion well worth the effort to learn how to use it.

A great resource for learning about Halogen that has been updated to V5 is Thomas Honeymans Real World project : https://github.com/thomashoneyman/purescript-halogen-realwor...

I'm working on a few tutorials for V5 too, but finding the time to be prolific is hard : https://codersteve.dev/tags/halogen/

Have you looked at ripcord? (https://cancel.fm/ripcord/) It's not the most amazing UI right now, but it's light and functional. And it works with the existing slack service.

Otherwise, have you tried contacting Slack? They've done a lot of improvements recently. My memory usage in FF barely goes over 30mb normally. If you're way over that, maybe you're running into some specific bug they'd want to fix.
Facial recognition is almost universally trivial to defeat as an authentication mechanism. A colleague had a Microsoft Surface with facial unlock. I could hold up my phone to the camera, with his Slack profile picture fullscreen, and it would unlock.

It's a fine line companies walk. They want to build a cohesive company identity with aligned values and goals, but they also want diversity, which makes all of that harder. So you have these "culture fit" interviews which are really just conformity checks. "Are you going to get on people's nerves?" is really what they want to see, and the right answer varies by environment. They're asking, "Are you one of us?" No surprise people on the spectrum struggle reading that and end up being either too honest or just too awkward.

"Be yourself" is terrible advice if you want to work at a startup and you're at all out of step with their culture and worldview. As one such person I have learned to mask whatever needs masking.
> Homo sapiens only exists 30K year

You meant 300k, right? The problem is, the human species is growing at an exponential rate, so if this continues and it's going to be hard not to, the damage tho the ecosystem can go very fast as there are processes that can also be triggered in an exponential manner.

For example, melting of the ice cap would cause not only ocean rise but a lot more heat staying in the planet as ice reflects a lot of it back into space.

Also, a temperature rise of 5 degrees would kill most phytoplankton, which is the main source of oxygen.

All of this sounds very catastrophic, but it might be somewhere in between a few centuries and a few millennia away, which is nothing on a geological time scale.

The current equilibrium that allows for human life on this planet is much more fragile than we think.

This post dismisses Elm on the basis of lack of typeclasses, but fails to mention miso (https://haskell-miso.org), that includes typeclasses. Miso is Elm-as-an-embedded-DSL written as a Haskell library for GHCJS that allows one to share types on the front and backend, take advantage of the entire Haskell ecosystem and has experienced commercial use.
I have used Teams before, but it's not smooth. Had a lot of UX cramps.
What doesn't 'playing by the rules' even mean? It feels like a highly subjective and disingenuous comment. Elm's focus on SPAs is fine and good, but very narrow compared to what JavaScript can do. Elm's port system, it's way to interop with JavaScript, can't do synchronous code which can be a no-go. All of your bullet points apply the same reasons people say to use ReasonML. PureScript offers the same safety if you 'play' by its rules.

I do Elm at my job every day, but it has serious competition.

I always found "rewriting history" misleading. Git is immutable by default, so you cannot "rewrite" the history. In fact, you are creating an "alternate history" (which the article mentions). While the difference appears subtle, it takes away the fear of users who never use any "altering" commands because they think they might lose their changes or mess up something.
Depression can be divided into two categories: with cause and without cause.

If you're depressed with cause, because you're unemployed, in a difficult position, you broke up, a loved one died, you fought with your friend, etc. then the usual advice does actually work. This depression makes sense and is totally normal. First, give your grief time, and second, actually force yourself to smile, go for a walk, or get a puppy. This depression is inherently temporary and you can speed the recovery along.

The thing is about depression with cause is that the cause may be ongoing. If you feel unfulfilled, if you're anxious, if you're suffering from addiction or illness, if people are abusing you, then of course you're depressed. Depression is a symptom. You don't need antidepressants you need to remove the cause.

Depression without cause is completely different which is why most people's advice is bad. They really did overcome depression, but a different kind. If your depression happens for no reason, even when things are going well, just randomly, or on a cycle, then you have to think about depression management. There is no total recovery but you can minimize it until its interference with your life is minimal.

The biology and psychology of depression including the two types above are discussed in Stanford's Sapolsky on depression (50 min lecture on YouTube).

Here's my personal ongoing experience with depression:

medicine worked for others but not for me. The side effects were worse than the depression. Things like sleep, exercise, time with friends, and nutrition seem to shorten the depressive episodes but they do not eliminate them. I plan around my inevitable next episode.

I have leave days set up, an understanding doctor's phone number, and my boss's understanding that I may suddenly take a couple of days sick leave for medical reasons. I call my friends and cancel way ahead of time. I have at-home hobbies to keep me busy. I eliminate my obligations because I wouldn't be able to keep them anyway and failing all my obligations every episode makes it worse every time. If I get depressed on vacation at least I don't feel guilty on top.

Speaking of which I get more depressed during vacations and weekends. Routine and commitments at work generally work against depression. So when I have nothing planned to do and I was expecting to myself to motivate myself to do something fun this is when depressive episodes happen most commonly. So even when I have nothing to do I keep a routine and I create commitments. I know this is in contrast to cancelling all my commitments when I'm depressed but it's true. When I'm not depressed my commitments keep me going so I make sure I'm always committed and I never have to rely on self-drive in the moment. I make plans with friends and book events and schedule things.

Anyway it's an ongoing thing and I've accepted it's never going away. I'm going to try a course of ketamine soon and I'll see how it goes but I'm not very hopeful. Even though I'm not depressed any less, more and more I am learning how to live my life despite depression.

From https://www.dictionary.com/browse/base-camp:

> base camp, noun, a main encampment providing supplies, shelter, and communications for persons engaged in wide-ranging activities, as exploring, reconnaissance, hunting, or mountain climbing.

Meanwhile from https://basecamp.com/features:

> Basecamp combines all the tools teams need to get work done in a single, streamlined package. With everything in one place, your team will know what to do, where things stand, and where to find things they need.

I'm not sure 'basecamp' as a generic word has anything to do with project management, or any of the other things that basecamp.com product offers.
Have you updated to the latest version of Slack? Mine is currently sitting at 222mb, which isn't great but it's significantly less memory hungry that it used to be.
It's the same off-by-one issue that often affects address of crashing instruction.

The report is incorrect, vast majority of time is taken by the previous one, cmp dword ptr [r8],ebp. It's the only one accessing RAM, and accessing cache line shared across cored is very expensive, even more so than a cache miss.
Assuming there are intelligent species living in nearby systems(with not such advanced tech), it's unlikely that they can notice us unless we can control the light intensity of our Sun. Because that's the only object they're probably looking at.
Put this way, it seems rather important to trust one's own judgement. That is a useful basis - one need to start somewhwere. If you give up both your judgement and other people's advice, you won't get anywhere at all before making that decision.

I sometimes wonder if bad advice is running more rampant today or if it was always this bad.
> ultra-conservative base

Surely ultra (anything) base is an oxymoron?
> Work performed with the intention of creating a feeling

So.... the entirety of art?

Creator of the phrase defines it a bit differently:

"Emotional labor, as I introduced the term in The Managed Heart, is the work, for which you’re paid, which centrally involves trying to feel the right feeling for the job. This involves evoking and suppressing feelings. Some jobs require a lot of it, some a little of it."

I think she meant mostly just smiling (with attempted sincerity) at people you don't feel like smiling at or doing the same on the opposite side of the spectrum - being stern to people you have no genuine feelings towards. And this being the significant part of what you are being paid for.

When I first heard the phrase I was thinking it meant spending your emotional capacity on your job. Like something about having a job that causes so much emotions in you that you fell emotionally burned out after finishing your shift.

This is a pretty important thing for neurotypicals to understand.

Socially, having Asperger's is an uphill battle. When I'm around people, I spend about 75% of my cognitive ability trying to appear to not have Asperger's. I've gotten pretty good at it. Great! One problem: whenever I slip up, it comes across as unbelievably rude. Probably worse than if I were just a "weirdo."

The right answer is a combination of people who are forgiving, but also a work environment that doesn't require constant socializing. That way I can minimize the negative mental health impacts I have on my peers that are a natural byproduct of my existence.

But asking someone with Asperger's to be "less rude" is like watching a short guy struggle to reach a high shelf and then telling him to just be taller.
Due to the exponential rise of the human population, which shows no signs of slowing down, it might go quite fast.

There are many geological processes that get triggered in an exponential way and can radically change the ecosystem.

For example, melting a part of ice cap means less heat gets reflected back into space, meaning more heat that will further melt more ice cap, etc. a potential positive feedback mechanism that once triggered cannot be controlled.

I was seeing travel vlogs of "Bald and Bankrupt" and I see elderly people in former Soviet Union countries living alone in extremely remote places. Most of the places are sparsely populated with supplies coming once in a week or so.

In these conflicts do they harm the village population or is the fight limited between the armies in the region? What would they gain by harming elderly people?

We've been using Teams for about 18 months since switching from Slack due to its prohibitive cost across our whole org[1]. Whilst Teams is far from perfect, it's got considerably better during that time.

[1] We'd reached the point where the 10000 message limit on the free plan meant our history was down to a few days, which meant that important messages were getting lost whilst they were still needed.

As someone who sometimes gives interviews, this is how I prefer to handle the problem. I'm not trying litmus-test people based on their answers to specific questions, I'm trying to get a feel for their background, how they think about things, and what it would be like working with them.

My ideal technical interview would be 30 minutes of this kind of open-ended discussion, and then 30 minutes of pair programming, or better yet them walking me through a personal project they care about. But I know there are mixed opinions about hands-on programming during interviews.

I feel that this everything over HTTPS trend is a scam, I don't know how or why yet, I just feel it.

Perhaps it makes the surveillance tooling more uniform and easier to develop/maintain.

The argument that HTTPS is always available and not filtered is just wrong, anyone who has experience working with large corporations knows that clients use local * certificates and everything is decrypted by the firewall and then re-encrypted. Making HTTPS slow af and sometimes plain broken.

I guess someone will implement a full HTTPS stack in js and announce HTTPS over HTTP to go around this "problem".
