It ended up as something resembling "chronic fatigue syndrome". That very concept is controversial, as is the notion that it has any underlying emotional cause, so I don't frequent CFS communities or talk about it in those terms much, but it does seem to be in that sphere of illnesses.

Defining symptoms have included chronic muscle tension/pain, slow digestion, immune system dysfunction, enlarged/painful lymph nodes, unrefreshing sleep, always feeling under-oxygenated/undernourished even when having a very healthy diet, a constant sense feeling "tired and wired", or "spinning the wheels"; i.e., at-once feeling exhausted, but also like your body/mind is working at full speed, but not being able to get much forward momentum in life.
I stick with it because I read the newspaper and eventually discovered that the wider a column is, the harder it is to read. I understand that it's not quite the same with code, and I don't know that there's any significant difference between 79 and 81 columns, but I never found anything that I couldn't get to work with 80 with a few minutes thought, so why not.
Like I said, those platforms artificially prop up these mainstream news channels. They don't get anywhere near the same engagement as other younger/independent/alternative channels.
Not just Youtube, he gets paid sponsors on his podcast.

For example (in my case) if you listen on Apple Podcasts you can hear 5 minutes of him talking about brands. These brands probably pay him tens of thousands per episode to get a shoutout. Pretty sure YT may make a good contribution, but not so much that he relies on it.
Google Staff Suspect Internal Software Is Designed to Suppress Employee Dissent
I've always stated that a PR-esque workflow can be built on top of email, rather than replacing an existing system with a new walled garden like GitHub did. SourceHut is all about reaching out to the existing communities, and email is how git itself was designed to be used. In your sibling comment I pointed to a video which demos a new feature that allows you to prepare patchsets to be emailed in a manner which is very similar to preparing a GitHub pull request or GitLab merge request:

https://sourcehut.org/blog/2019-10-15-whats-cooking-october-...

I've always been of the opinion that email works better for me, and I think that too many people write it off without giving it its fair chance, but I've also conceded that many people enjoy the web-based workflow and I've been working on tools to accomodate them.
ME: It's not a good idea to look at stock trends for anything super volatile.

How is this relevant?
It’s a shame. Google and other social media are kind of forcing news orgs to churn out garbage clickbait.

It’s quite s disservice how they are incentivized to produce reaction or outrage rather than things that deserve being reported on because actual newsworthy things don’t pay the bills in the age of SEO and “engagement.”
Two huge firms negotiating a huge deal probably are in fact using Word, right?
Yup that's my memory 80x24 until the VT100 came along.

The phrase "Then in 1983 the Apple IIe was introduced, the first Apple computer to natively support an 80×24 text display, doubling 40×24 of previous Macs" is rather cringeworthy and shows a misunderstanding of the time

(first of all Macs were introduced in '84 .... Mac and AppleIIs were competing architectures from Apple)

There's enough "pixels" for 132 columns, and many old terminals (vt220 for sure) could do that.

The RF modulator needed by Apple/C64/etc did perhaps limit it to 80...it wasn't the tube.

Genuinely curious.
Global Dimming is caused by pollution emitted into the air. This has caused a decline in the Pan Evaporation rate. Meaning, less water is evaporating now than decades prior.

My concern is, if we stop polluting the environment and the global dimming is stopped, then climate change will get much worse.

Global Dimming might explain why the climate hasn't changed as much as some would expect.
People under-estimate how difficult geography/ geodesy/ navigation used to be, pre-NAVSTAR GPS. This difficulty was "built-in" to the military defensive posture/strategy/tactics of many countries, to the extent that simple possession of a GPS receiver was/is a crime. And not a misdemeanor, but a treason level offense.

Keep in mind, the programs that evolved into NAVSTAR started in the 50s\60s and the tech specs were pretty much set by 1980, along with the legal framework and military policy regarding it's operation.

Ironically, it was some of the systematic weaknesses if the original design that led to it being so much more useful (and accurate) than it was ever intended to be.

But it is still a military program, with military style regulations, so it shouldn't be too surprised that some of the 1960's era rules haven't evolved too much.

It's more surprising to me that so many of the restrictions have been relaxed. (Even if it's policy playing catch-up practice.)

eSNI is still in the draft stages, which is why Chrome has opted not to implement the draft until the standard is finalized or in a state it deems satisfactory[0]. Currently FF and CF implement draft.

There are also many hurdles Google has to consider when rolling out things like this that will break Enterprise deployments. Currently, DoH is completely inaccessible if the browser is "managed" (has Policies) at all, even if the disable DoH policy isn't set. I imagine the same will happen with eSNI.

The ability to keep track of many, potentially thousands of individual changes and assign labels to significant versions. Track Changes is basically like Git if every file write triggered an automatic commit with no commit message and anyone could rewrite history at any time. SharePoint major versions are better but they’re not free, standard, portable or popular.
I find it interesting that Michael apparently keeps his git-backed projects in ~/Documents/. Does anyone else do this?
I agree with that, and held back from including it in my original comment to avoid letting it be too long.

Through the subconscious healing work I've done, few of the events/issues I've processed are ones that I would characterise as trauma. Little of it involves abuse, violence, separation or anything else that fits the conventional definition of trauma.

But it is a snowballing history of unpleasant life experiences, which all compounds and steadily amplifies one's underlying sense of anxiety, fear and distrust of themselves and the world, along with the severity of physiological symptoms.

Reality: you've treated many people harshly over the years for disagreements, questioning, or what have you. There's a reason a few people come out of the nooks with anon accounts to speak up about this.
This is absolutely fascinating. Not too long ago I thought that everyone experienced level 3, and occasionally level 4 effects, but I learned that my friends did not. The first link says that it's rare without psychedelic drugs. I've never tried any psychedelics, but I regularly experience level 3 effects, and occasionally level 4 ones too. I can't remember a time when I didn't.

I also frequently experience/remember hypnagogia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia), which I previously did not know the name of. I absolutely love experiencing it, as it's often euphoric, although it can sometimes be terrifying and stressful.

One big reason I built https://legiblenews.com/, which scrapes Wikipedia’s news once a day for headlines, is because their agenda is to be encyclopedic. The headlines link to encyclopedia articles (except for the sources obviously) where if clicked, people might accidentally learn something.
I think the watch you linked is the Glycine Airman GMT. I believe the standard hour hand actually has a 12-hour sweep (yes, even though the labels are both 24-hour) and only the GMT hand (pointing to the 10) has a 24-hour sweep.

From what you've described, you probably have the Glycine Airman Purist [1]. There is no GMT hand but the regular hour hand has a 24-hour sweep (and you can set the second hour dial).

(I also have a Purist.)

To clarify your clarification, a quote from that issue:

> We are not adding Pendo or Snowplow JS snippets to self-hosted versions at this time. We are carefully considering the appropriate opt-out functionality for telemetry that will work best for our customers, and we will clearly communicate to those customers when any change is made.

In other words, it's not that self-hosted will not be affected, it's that self-hosted will not be affected yet. That's an important distinction.
VT220s had a 132 column mode. It was readable, albeit not as readable as 80 columns.

> Consider the case of antidepressants. If they were indeed a permanent, long-term solution, depression should by now have become a minor issue in society. Yet it has not made a dent in hospital admissions. The number of people treated for depression has tripled over the past two decades, and one in ten Americans now take antidepressants.

This is not how logic works.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to find, even in the US.
Thanks for taking a look at Chisel and FIRRTL!

(Coming from a Chisel/FIRRTL dev...) Couple of clarifying comments:

CDE[^1] is really a Rocket Chip[^2] specific design decision meant to suit the configuration needs of system-on-chip generation (or: it's a Scala library which actually doesn't depend on Chisel and could be useful in unrelated projects). Also, SiFive should have fixed the issues with exceptions a long while ago (stack traces are still a thing, though).

Chisel gets a lot of criticism due to the (necessary) complexities of Rocket Chip. However, don't let that dissuade you from using it for a separate digital design project. None of the Rocket Chip complexity comes into play there.

Compilation time is something that we really care about and are seeking to make better. Minute-long Verilog generation times are something you would only see for mammoth design like Rocket Chip (generating MBs of Verilog). Nonetheless, we have some ideas on how to improve this via actual optimizations or meta-optimizations like grouping compiler transformations together that are safe to do so.

We also are really trying to make the Verification easier. One of these is effort on better testing via "Testers2"[^3] (name is TBD). The second is on improving the readability of the generated Verilog, e.g., emission of case statements [^4], emission of else-if[^5] (now supported!), etc. If you have suggestions we'd be happy to take a look (code examples of "I got this, but I'd like that" would be a huge plus, too!).

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to check it out.

They can anticipate higher volatility, but that doesn't mean they're being compensated for it.

Yeah we have the benefit of hindsight, but that's what we're talking about. If you're just evaluating past performance starting from any point in 2015, Tesla generated average returns, was pretty uncorrelated (which is great), and was way more volatile than the S&P. That's not thrilling.
I thought this would be about the arm of a conditional not taken but as soon as he listed the operators it all became clear.

To start, realize stating that a dedicated 1gbps link is $2000 may be true but it does not justify the price, which is what I'm speaking to.

What observations I had were: 1) the price of dedicated links went up in time disproportionate to their capacity; 2) network operators began moving to a per-bit charging model, forcing users to bid against each other, and; 3) at least here, non-DC dedicated links can be had much more cheaply than a link in a DC.

There is scarcity but for practical purposes the scarcity is so far off that I'm not sure it makes sense to consider it. The true scarcity is related to the availability of land and the size of the data links, neither of which are yet very limiting. Regulation related to right of way (or more commonly) city involvement in high level planning could be blamed for creating market failures if these costs really are that high.

Otherwise, in regards to #1, we would expect a downward trend of dedicated network link price while capacity goes up, following storage density and transistor density (or more appropriately computational throughput). But we don't see this, even though throughput does increase, and integration costs decrease.

For #2, going to a bidding model could imply scarcity, but as there are unjustified monopolies often there is no increase in capacity so it seems prudent to assume this is done solely to increase price.

And with #3, well, certain usages are priced higher than others, also implying some kind of bidding. This might reflect space scarcity but seeing as the price tends to not go down even if the customer provides their own network equipment and pays for its space it just seems like a reluctance of the DC operator to perform upgrades.

The fairest model I can imagine has users paying the amortized cost of the network equipment and its installation and maintenance.
It's off topic but I seriously want Apple to use a VCS for their license agreements.

Every once in a while, they update Developer License Agreement or Paid Application Agreement (updated over 100 times so far), and every time they just show a wall of text. I save it as a file and take a diff to the previous version.

They must be using a VCS internally but they make us repeat the same effort again and again. It's stupid.
Not since 1913 and the 17th amendment. The senate almost made sense when it was the states appointing their senators - now with direct election it is just a grossly biased legislative body where even in the smallest states each senator is meant to represent hundreds of thousands of people that no one can truthfully claim to do.
Yes, but those are fixed function designs like Trident or Tomahawk (yes, they name their switch chips after missiles).

When Broadcom uses the term SOC, they mean "Switch on a Chip" to differentiate their single chip designs from older multi chip architectures.

SiByte was MIPS-based, more like an NPU than an (Broadcom term) SOC.
So did vt100/vt102 - though it may have been an option on vt100, and a reverse video mode. It was only vt52 stuck at 80.

It was readable, but not something for your default setting - 10 mins was more than enough!
> as there's a general attitude among scientifically-minded people that the notion of a link between emotions/thoughts and physiology is absurd

I am surprised to hear that's the case, and also it absolutely does not match my experience of the scientifically minded people I know, all of whom are familiar with both the placebo effect and the term psychosomatic.
The downvoting is likely because 80x24/25 happened well before home PCs that displayed via NTSC/PAL. And many of those early terminals also supported a 132 column mode.

To people focusing on the specific instance instead of the "I need to have tons of knowledge to fix what Windows/OSX don't have problems with" side of it all:

Every single time I've tried (and I try yearly or so), I've had to resort to the command line within one hour to fix something. Usually file permissions, though I haven't touched anything but the built-in software and updates at that point, so it's extra ridiculous.

Most recently: Elementary OS has broadly been a great experience. But I had to choose a touchscreen-driver kernel, and spend about 2 hours figuring out how to get an on-screen keyboard to work on the lockscreen. both of those are ridiculous.

THAT is what keeps driving me away. And it's WORSE that it's not the same problem each time because knowing how to fix N doesn't help me fix N+1.
And you can add to that list several natural forces as well.

For example, the Australia tropical rain forest, which by it's definition is wet, never has to deal with fire.

But this year that change as some parts of the Australian rain forest experienced bush fires.

If that trend continues then those ecosystem will struggle to survive as they have not evolved to deal with fire on a regular basis.
I tend to use Rails for new projects, and the devise gem is pretty straightforward for auth, so that part is covered.

On Node.js projects, using passport isn't quite as easy, so that is a bit of a pain point.

> The only solution is another platform that respects creators, has sane/straightforward policies and doesn't permit rampant scams and extortions.

This is how every platform starts out. Success is a curse that drags companies into politics and money games, causing them to succumb to censorship and other unintended policies.

The only solution is a platform that can prove that it has no ability to censor content. This requires advanced cryptography knowledge. Never trust the "word" of a company or a platform.
I’m sure. I’ll dig up a link; you can watch it.
That clarification should explicitly address the original email that contradicted it (eg self managed EE would be getting telemetry).
