The reason is that existing solutions are inadequate/not-powerful-enough, so the moment a developer is limited by what the app has to offer there's a chance a new note-taking app gets developed to solve that specific need.
I tried to read GEB once, but I had a hard time getting past the feeling that it was more about appearing clever than actually being clever.
Armed responders are human. Humans make mistakes. Drop guns aren’t unheard of when a bad officer decides to cover up a mistake.
Yes. It was fun and interesting. I recommend it to anyone interested in logic and metaphysics.

In a court? If you borrowed from Peter to pay Paul, knowing that Peter’s debt is discharged in bankruptcy and then you declare bankruptcy? I have a feeling a not too impressed bankruptcy judge will be entering a sizable judgement against you.

I don't think so. All else equal, a 75 year old is more likely to drop dead tomorrow than a 25 year old (or healthy newborn) is, so the 10% death probability is less of a problem for them. Moreover, the years at the end of one's life are not quite the same as years of youth.
I think the Tao Te Ching is more clever than Gödel, Escher, Bach. But, GEB is still fun-- I just don't think it completely deserves the "Holy Grail" status it has.
Erich Fromm is a psychoanalyst that emphasized human beings are set apart from other animals, one reason dealing us the ominous cognizance of mortality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Fromm

In Terror management theory, we as individuals and society are all faced with the existential inevitability of death, so we try to enforce cultural things and rally around them to ease the anxious feelings. As individuals TMT posits we try to boost our self esteem to that end.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_management_theory, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy4W1s0vyJ4 (covers Fromm, TMT)

Also it's reassuring 1.) You don't love death (Fromm considered that to be the absolute worst of states of mind) 2.) that you're looking for social assurance 3.) finally hopefully you're pleased to find you're not alone in your feelings, mortality salience / death anxiety is an established concept. Why else would people be intrigued by all Doomsday movies / documentaries?

Fromm is very interesting to read on OP. He went into social and political psychology and, despite noting mortality, espoused an optimistic outlook on society and humanity. His concepts of escape mechanisms are genius and understated.

There's no where to go but up from here, hopefully!
LOL, just post a link to the rich content, that is how its mostly done with hexchat these days. Of course you could just DCC the content to someone too.

But it serves to discourage anything that isn't actual conversation, which might not be a bad plan in the end.
mostly agree but market and economic forces may change the goalposts over time. Eg if the number of gas cars gets below a certain minimum the number of gas stations could diminish and the cost of gas will probably rise as demand falls, also the governments could screw up the gas taxes and emissions standards, think what happened to cigarettes!

They could, or they could list guns for sale on a classifieds site like Armslist and meet in private. People could use Paypal for such a transaction regardless of the terms of use, though trying to use the dispute resolution might result in both parties losing their accounts.

In any case, it's not a meaningful financial risk for Paypal. It might be a risk of bad press, but "criminal pays for gun with Paypal and uses it to commit a murder" probably isn't actually going to result in many people not using Paypal.

Young people today don’t see the internet as a disruptive libertarian force. To them it’s just another tool of the establishment.

So if you don’t see so many wide-eyed idealists around, it’s probably because they see you as too old. They have their own hangouts, and we’re not invited.
I was advised to have surgery I didn't need and it ruined my life. I will be ending it soon because of all the pain and loss and abandonment and not one of them will care or help prevent that outcome because they got paid. Nobody said "do nothing". They all advised surgery. They advised surgery multiple European doctors later said was never needed and wasn't appropriate. Every one of those doctors attacked when confronted about the outcome and necessity...called me a liar and mental and that the pain and disability was not real. They said I was just trying to get a big payday from them. Everything was about protecting their profits. From the moment I was victimized people started blaming me and trying to discredit me. Doctors, staff, their lawyers, administrators. They never admit fault and will cover each other's back. I have met many people like me...victims of this system. American hospitals and doctors operate for profits not as a public service. They don't get their big houses and fancy cars and status without that precious surgery income. It's very much about bad faith in the American Healthcare Business. People don't want to believe it and think because they haven't had their life taken from them that it's great and people like me are extreme outliers. The number THREE cause of death in America is doctors and hospitals killing people. But nobody cares until it's them. Bad faith is part and parcel with for profit anything and healthcare is one of the biggest for profit cabals on them all in America. Anyone who believes otherwise is just preserving their own income stream or sanity because they need to believe the system will be there for them. As long as "other people" are the victims then for most people it's all fine. I had a life...I had a future...I deserve to live safely and without pain...and I am denied this because they stole my health and means to earn. They made my value zero. Bad faith is their mission statement.
Right, just curious as to why that old look since it's been a decade now. I was hard pressed to switch to 2.5 now that I recall late ~2009ish but never looked back. 2.49b was my first Blender version, been an expert user for several years now. Used to be heavily involved in the community some years back and now I moderate the stackexchange site over @ blender.stackexchange.com.

Also for pre 2.8, it was fairly non-trivial to get the UI to look like its predecessor as well.
That's exactly why this is an _easier_ question for a newborn... the 30% is on their entire life and not their remaining years. Like, if the upside is living to 80 instead of 50, that's easier than it being the difference between living 5 months and 6 months.
Interesting, I’ve never felt the urge to use an iPad during dinner or dishes.
I never worked on very large systems, mostly small commercial and residential. A buddy of mine supervises HVAC for a large commercial facility and we were talking about their makeup air. Basically it sounded like the building is effectively hermetically sealed until the makeup air vents open because of interior pressure or O2/CO2 levels. Seemed kind of creepy that there was some active system in charge of that. How do you know when it's not working?
Love the idea of alternative notification targets.

The idea was to make the API curl as simple and short as possible, to the point where you could probably memorize it. Would be trivial to then add additional notification targets server-side, based on user preference.

I.e. sending a Slack message -- even in the simplest form requires a rather long URL with a JSON body that has a couple of fields.

I feel like that was similar to when Elon musk announced that Tesla had a buyer. Turned out to not be the case, and he got in trouble for it. But I don’t think that either he or Sean Murray intended to Deceive. They just got too far ahead of themselves on what they expected to happen. but you are right, that still does not make it right.
> Having it repeatedly come on and run is runaway trim

And they recognized it as such and completed the runaway trim checklist, but they couldn't use manual trim (as advised) to recover from the situation, because aerodynamic forces acting on the stabilizer overpowered them.

Two Swedish pilots demonstrated this scenario in a 737NG simulator: https://youtu.be/aoNOVlxJmow?t=606 Ethiopian pilots were in even more stressful situation, because they also had broken AOA sensor with unreliable airspeed indication, active left stick shaker, occasional terrain proximity warnings and overspeed clicker.

No procedures or training existed for the situation they were in. Pilots of early 737s were taught the so-called rollercoaster maneuver to temporarily relieve the load to allow manual trimming, but that was scrapped decades ago.

> What would happen if you transferred your student debt to a credit card and then declared bankruptcy?

If you did it knowing you were insolvent and planning to file bankruptcy, it would be illegal, and that would be taken into account in your bankruptcy (it might effect the dischargeability of the credit card debt or have other adverse consequences.)

Of course, credit cards try to keep up with your credit circumstances and adjust your credit lines appropriately, to guard against that general class of scenarios.

If you did it routinely while in good financial shape but later declared bankruptcy with the balance still on your credit card accounts, it would be discharged like any other credit card debt.

One great aspect is that joplin supports iOS 8+. My Ex needed to write a big dissertation that she just couldn't make progress on (unsurprisingly). Her work laptop is too bulky to carry around every day unfortunately.

So at some point I figured she could use my old ipad mini 1 with a size-fitted logitech "ultrathin keyboard" (that magnetically holds onto the ipad, making it one piece for storage) that I impulse bought and never used.
So hardware was there, but looking for a markdown editor that supported sync and that old device + her windows laptop was not fruitful. Except well, short story: joplin is awesome for that.

She could use the ipad to write a few minutes here and there during transit and was able to complete it.
The markdown file is then converted to latex/pdf using pandoc + pandoc-citeproc (for citations using a bibtex-file).

Support for antiquated iOS versions is rare (making the ipad mini 1 useless in many cases although it still appears to be a capable device) even though many apps don't seem to have a need for higher versions. I suspect that most apps use frameworks that have a version cutoff to reduce complexity if that even makes sense.
> You are unlikely to get a high enough credit to cover student loan debt if it is high. Else everyone would be doing it.

Well, no, because bankruptcy isn't an option most people want to pursue, and personal unsecured credit is far more expensive than student loans with the same principal unless you discharge them in bankruptcy.
Unfortunately, choice 2 sounds like us. I was looking for some way to short-circuit that (by maybe shipping the repo already loaded) as the product runs in the customer's cloud, and the images are built on their machines.

> Only 1 in N million people make it to the Olympics, but if you have the right genetics and drive, your probability of success is orders of magnitude higher.

It’s actually significantly higher (yet still grossly out of reach for most). There were approximately 11,000 athletes at the most recent summer olympics so that’s closer to 1 in 1/2 million out of the total population. Even higher when you exclude by age and other factors.

Still much better off learning programming though.

It's not sad, at all. Libertarianism is a naive, self-refuting ideology, anachronistic and immoral. The less of it the better.
I may be misunderstanding you, but I find it difficult to believe Hashicorp could put together a big enough set of investors to drop a couple of billion on SUSE. You occasionally see smaller companies buy bigger, more established ones with higher revenues and such, but it's pretty rare.
Which isn't normally a crime. The lender is allowed to forgive part of a loan if they want to. The borrower would owe taxes on the difference. Normally this comes up with people who aren't paying at all, where the lender (or owner of the mortgage) is happy to salvage any money from the loan, even if less then the face value.
With the inline CSS approach, components are your reusable entities not CSS classes.
Except they aren't necessarily paid more for surgery. That is a common misconception. Surgeries take time. Not just for the surgery, but the prep time before and then the aftermath.

-For example, a bit of searching shows an appendectomy takes about an hour. Lets add 1/2 hour onto that for prep & cleanup.

-Searching indicated about $900 to $1200 is the typical insurance payment to the surgeon. That's $600 to $800 an hour.

-Based on my own insurance claims, specialist visits are reimbursed from $200-$300. Average 10 minutes per visit and that works out to $1200 to $1800 and hour. (Non specialist annual "wellness" checkup/physical was reimbursed around $180 for $1080 an hour)

Certainly not all surgeries are necessarily the same, so rates may vary and there could be more or less $/hour, although the same goes for office visits. As such, doctors already are paid roughly similar, or close enough that concerns of pushing surgeries for the $$$ probably don't need to be a huge worry.
Some people may need the opposite, and that app should be helpful there too.
Loved it and own a copy. I often remind myself of Aunt Hillary when thinking about large organisations such as the military. There are quite a lot of topics in GEB that are simply fun to think about.

Many programmers using a more "clever" language like haskell will spend a lot of time trying to make code more readable, searching for the right abstraction. Most of it is wasted intellectual effort.

I rather disagree that making your code readable and maintainable is a waste of effort.
This is incredibly disappointing.

> Visa woes are common for academics trying to attend conferences in the US, Canada and the UK.

Sounds like there's a real market gap. Maybe someplace like Singapore could afford the risks (and handle the crowds). Australia would be a nice choice but they're pretty strict about letting people in these days (at least when I looked at both work and student visas a year or two ago).

Then again, they don't discuss or give evidence for any of the visa denials they suggest are given by the U.S. (and in fact, the primary subject of the article is currently based in the U.S.). It's definitely not what I expected, but judging by the issues they list, it looks like it's harder to get into Canada or the UK than it is to get into the US-of-A.

Maybe they should look south of the border next year.
Under the hood it’s still CSS classes. You just define your CSS classes as element properties and the library takes care of the rest.
I'm not sure what to make of this article, but on a related note: the economics of software just seems to get weirder and weirder.

I guess most US developers are fairly politically liberal, although probably a good chunk are libtertarian. I'm sure the SV vote averages out Democrat though. From the outside though, tech companies are viewed as dangerous, neo-liberal, privacy-threatening, all the worst forms of capitalism. And yet the entire foundation (and a good part fo the main structure) of every data based product is based on open-source libraries in python, R, C, and Javascript that was written often for no pay, or as an academic or side-project. And they aren't even patented! They often aren't even really properly credited!

What does an economic theory of this even look like? Show me the incentive and reward and value-creation structure of a pandas developer?!
Same here. Tried reading it, but just couldn't connect the dots.
You asked and I told you exactly what is political or not, and none of those things are about me disagreeing. Again you're confusing views with topics. If you disagree with every definition because you think everything is political then there's no rational discussion to be had. This is what the activists do. Make everything political without boundaries.

By the way, Google is undergoing lawsuits about race and gender discrimination with explicit documentation, as are many other companies and universities in the US.

Paul Davies (head of SETI) has a fantastic book called "The Eerie Silence". It was the first time in years that I had read a good science book written for the layman that taught me not only a lot of new scientific ideas, history I didn't know about, and made me think about humanity in a new light. I really can't recommend it enough.

Ok, so he makes an argument that made me put down the book (ok 17 year old me) and really ponder the statement. It was his belief that "all biological life is transistory". Of course we have no other intelligent life outside of earth to compare against, but it kind of makes sense in a completely unproven kind of way. A species develops as biological and eventually transcends to machine. At that point, you would be far more intelligent (maybe) and the only requirement for society would be lots and lots of energy. You would essentially be a mind floating around in infinite cyber space experiencing everything there is to experience. You could travel to the stars if you would like (no cryogenics or food necessary), but honestly...why would you want to?

The book mostly sticks to scientific fact and covers a lot of SETI history, but there are many additional topics like this that are thought provoking.

Some of my friends were horrified by this (end of biological humanity assuming it is ever possible), but to me...it is the most logical progression for humanity to become more than what it currently is. These flesh bodies cause us to die far too early and our brains can probably only be enhanced so much.
The issue is that you took out a load with the intent of declaring bankruptcy. You would be in just as much trouble even if you didn't use the money to pay back non dischargeable debt.
There is a reason why every design that attempts to use asynchronous design has been a disaster. That's because:

Asynchronous design is a bloody stupid idea.

Non-deterministic behavior is the LAST thing anybody wants. And software people go to great lengths to mitigate it. And when they fail, we leak crypto keys, allow people to read privileged memory, etc.

People like John Carmack even advocate adding time as an input to many of your functions so that you are fully functional and deterministic and easier to debug and test. ie. doing the same thing as VLSI designers and providing a global clock.

And, for reference, designers didn't just get stuck in a local minimum with synchronous design. Designers did use asynchronous designs back in the day--mostly S-R latches--and they discovered that if they added clocks and used flip-flops instead that things were more reliable and easier to design with.

(This goes back to even the Apollo guidance computers which used lots of NOR-gate based latches but had a few flip flops. Later designs prioritized flip flops over latches.

See: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/318341/histo...

One interesting bit is that those three S-R latch flip flops actually have intermediate state stabilized by the analog feedback if you look at the designs at the transistor level. It makes for some interesting failure modes if you disturb the node with noise during feedback amplification. However, outside of those small windows they feedback makes them much more resistant to noise upset.

Note: I did the analysis moons ago on the old SN7474 flip flops which are NAND-based, not NOR-based, but I presume the same thing holds. Of course, I could of course be completely wrong and maybe that's why NASA standardized on NOR-gates instead.)
