> Because when you think about it coldly, it's not obvious why you should care that other people are embarrassing themselves.

It has to do with enforcing and confining oneself to acceptable social behavior, and reinforcing those boundaries for oneself.

As you say, it's involuntary, or instinctive, like many social behaviors.

> On the contrary, people who talk about "cringe" are often fiercely angry at the people making them feel this way.

Aside from blaming them for the discomfort, this is also part of the enforcement aspect.

Thirded. I worked as a farm hand on a nearby dairy farm through high school, then six years as a mechanic before going to college.

It isn't all just feeding and milking cows. You also learn to deal with shit. Literally tons of it.

Hilariously, I think most Gen-Xers learned from playing Railroad Tycoon computer game where the detailed score sheet is the three sheet financials. For a short period of time in the late 80s there were plenty of 12 year olds who understood quite a bit about financial statements and what they imply about how a game/business is being run.

I don't know the modern equivalent that motivates a game player to learn to read financials.

Obviously you can/could/do play RRT "just one more turn" all night long until 4am every day just like the Civilization series of games, although actually learning how the numbers interact with each other and in-game behavior probably took one hour spread out over time. None of the concepts are terribly complicated once you memorize the definitions and important ratios.

Honestly you could get a basic start at reading financials, if provided with experienced tutoring, in an hour of clock time while playing RRT.

It was kinda ridiculous half a decade later in high school taking econ class and seeing the dry and boring way they tried to teach reading financials. You could replace an entire multi week unit of the class with perhaps three class periods of playing RRT.

JavaScript Errors: An Exceptional History – Part II
I'd read in that the new fuel taxes were done to help the poor by funding social programs. Apparently, though, the taxes were pretty stiff, raising the overall price 50%.
This is so true. I invested what little money I had to spare in music. Everything I made with it went back in. The return is more than I would have gotten from interest or things like stocks and bonds.

~2% is great if you're doing okay financially and have a good career. It's useless if you have any marketable skill that would benefit from spending what you can spare on tools or services. A pair of good mixing headphones in 2017 paid for itself by 2018. It would have only been an extra $2 in a savings account. That investment paid for a MIDI controller that came with Ableton Live Lite. That helped pay for an upgrade to Suite during a sale less than a year later.

All the money I spent on the controller and Suite upgrade would amount to barely $30 a year in savings interest. That's not going to help me with the tiny but still greater income built on those investments.
Also learn about opportunity cost when spending and saving. It is tied to compound interest in many ways, but also deals with addressing wants vs. needs, and also scoring your wants.
Alternatively you could hire someone to take over the day to day of it while you, being the sole shareholder, get the rest of the profits without having to spend much time on it, leaving you free to pursue other interests.
Why is it a “problem”? Outlawing ads seems hugely regressive for society as a whole.

Without ads there would be basically no free content online, and those who cannot afford content would simply go without. Consider how much better the world has become due to easy access to information. To yank that away seems like bringing a dark age.
It doesn't sound like this actually federates with anything else. So how is this not just another pointless silo?
By that logic, companies shouldn't offer raises.

A company cannot assume that someone is "willing to settle" just because they accepted an offer. Good companies try to proactively keep people, and part of that is making sure their compensation roughly keeps Pace with the market. By the time a company gets the signal that the "maintenance rate" isn't it's too late to do anything about it.

The lure of so-so tech and how to avoid it
The definition you provide here does not apply to Latin.

> every conjugation of an active verb has a corresponding passive form

If we're talking about individual verbs, this does not and cannot apply to any language; there are always verbs that for semantic or syntactic reasons cannot take passive forms. (Examples in Latin: "esse" [to be] has no passive because the passive form of "to be" doesn't exist even conceptually; "sequi" [to follow] has no passive because sequi is, from a strictly syntactic perspective, already inflected as if it were a passive verb.)

If you're talking at a more general level about whether the language offers the possibility of a passive form for every active form a verb might possess, that still isn't true for Latin -- and in fact, the very example you give is quite badly wrong.

> Latin actually had a full 3-dimensional matrix of conjugations: time-based tense (past, present, future), goal-based tense (completed or ongoing), and action (active or passive), with accompanying participles for each case.

Side note: in the traditional analysis, a Latin verb is inflected in five dimensions ("tense", "voice", "mood", "person", "number"). What you call "goal-based tense" is traditionally just called "tense", though I agree with you that it is a separate dimension and shouldn't be conflated with actual tense. In linguistics, this dimension is called "aspect".

Latin participles do not inflect for person or number. Despite what you say here, they also don't inflect for aspect. They do inflect for tense and voice, but of the six possibilities (past / present / future) x (active / passive), only four are possible in Latin -- the present passive and past active forms do not exist for any verb. [1]

(It's possible to make the argument that Latin participles do inflect for aspect, in that some participial forms (the present and the future passive) use the imperfect verb stem and others (the perfect and the future active) use the perfect verb stem. That makes the argument you're making here weaker -- instead of Latin offering four out of six participial forms, it would be offering four out of twelve.)

[1] But remember how "sequi" couldn't have a passive form because it's already formally passive? This opens up a possibility for the perfect participle: secutus can mean "having been followed", the normal perfect passive sense, but it can also mean "having followed", in an otherwise impossible perfect active interpretation of the participle. The "passive form, active meaning" state of the verb can be carried through to its participle.
Awesome, hello mtlynch :)

It's great that you found this post; as it happens I'm using your fork of nytimes/ingredient-phrase-tagger (thanks a lot for updating and containerizing it!) in combination with 'ingreedypy' for ingredient parsing.

How's zestful doing? It looks great and I did consider using it; the quantity of parsing I was doing led me to choose the container version just to keep my own operational costs down (albeit at the loss of any model retraining you've done).
The java performance complaints are also widely overstated...Mostly when running on windows it took a few seconds when starting a java program if the JVM wasn't yet loaded to memory (as it had to be loaded first).

But a well written java server-side application (so something that doesn't need to be started very often but generally just idles until it's contacted by clients) is as fast or faster than anything you were likely to be using for a couple decades after its introduction.

Just read through your google doc, interesting! But what about additional family members, with their own cameras, and no interest in any clever workflow activities :) I'm currently using Google Photos as my main service, and it's working good enough for now: each family member has the Google Photos app which uploads pics automatically, to their own account. We all share our Google Photos with each other. This way I (as main curator) have access to everyone's pics, without anyone having to do anything. Google lets you store the original size pics, so that is great (not like iCloud that resizes all pics!). Google also adds face recognition, which is very practical, and also provides a good interface for everyone to view the pictures. Regarding safekeeping: I use the Google Drive interface to backup all my photos to my local linux storage (combination of rsync and https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount Google Drive). This way I always have all original photos locally. Finally I backup everything offsite using BackBlaze.

All this relies heavily on Google Photos, but I have my own local backup of all original files. So if I need to change service, it should just be a one-time effort to migrate.

So there are two things in vscode, which make it interesting solution for remote development.

One thing is that it is based on Electron. This has enabled Microsoft to create Visual Studio Online[1], which is vscode accessed through browser (backed by container/vm hosted at Microsoft)

Another thing is the architecture which splits the IDE into client and server. It's not about file system access via SSH. It's actually the core of the IDE running on a remote machine and the UI part (client) talking to it via ssh connection.

Would be interesting to know if this was actually the master plan for vscode right from the beginning or if they realized these opportunities on the go.

> Its basically instant boot the same way as uboot is

We regularly run into issues where coreboot boots so fast that the peripherals can't catch up and we're the first to notice. So yes, our boot process is pretty quick compared to other stuff.

> it also supports the secure boot standard, capsule update, and most of what one expects out of a modern BIOS.

Absence of runtime services (while still doing a secure boot flow and firmware updates). UEFI doesn't do that.

Also, coreboot provides these things since ~2005 (the verified boot flow was a bit late) while EDK2 started out around 2007 and only gained secure boot in 2012.

From my perspective EDK2 is the also-ran.

Maybe there is a market for a proxy that converts any page you visit to bare and functional HTML with just content and navigation. No ad's, distractions, disfunctional scrolling, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxomitron and other MITM-proxies can do that and more, although the security-paranoid may disapprove (but then again --- what are you more concerned about, what is your threat model, etc.) The recent "security vulturism" and things like DoH and other anti-user ostensibly-privacy things certainly doesn't help.

Read a few chapters in 'a mind for numbers' to understand how learning works in the brain. It will give you an idea about how much effort it takes for your brain to actually learn something, and so will help you plan anything you'll want to learn in the future. In my opinion, they should teach this knowledge in schools everywhere.

Personally I prefer the numpad-less keyboards, I don't use number entry that much and the reduced space between keyboard and mouse (I'm not a keyboard / vim wizard) helps with comfort / RSI prevention. I use an Apple wireless keyboard.

That said, I would like something a bit more ergonomic or tactile, maybe, but all mechanical keyboards are at least 4x as tall as this one is - the flatness really helps prevent RSI in my case. I guess a wrist support would already go a long way, I prefer to keep my wrists on the table.
I don't understand this. You have negotiated to pay a fixed payment per month so why does it matter whether the money is paying off interest or the principal first? The bank didn't force you to get the loan.
Well it exists in a evolutionary process. What people were cringing about in the early 2000s are now no longer cringworthy. I think this is part of what Baudrillard terms the simulacrum. What was cringeworthy thousands of years ago? Was there a concept or cringe? These are interesting questions.
Learn how to sharpen a knife or chisel or axe or other tool. Suddenly every piece of hard steel turns into a tool when you know how to get it sharp.

All you need is some abrasive (e.g. sandpaper at 600 and 2000 grit) and a piece of leather to strop it (optionally some chromium oxide or something for honing compound).

Then you can level it up from there and learn how to heat treat steel (you'll need a blowtorch) and you can make sharp and pointy things in all shapes and sizes.

For example I once needed a very small chisel, so I made one out of a two inch nail. It wasn't great (not hard steel, didn't retain an edge for long), but it got the job done.

Why not hire a broker?
Yeah, literally no way to stop tracking.

Suppose I have an apache module (or the equivalent in some modern http server) that's (a) injecting the necessary code (b) forwarding the traffic information to my nefarious third-party tracking provider. Or, heck, just a third-party solution that consumes my apache logs. It's doing all of this without using the browser itself as a middleman, like the clumsy CNAME masking discussed in the linked Github discussion.

This could never be stopped client-side since one's web browser would have no say.

Only reason this isn't more widespread already is because a lot of web properties don't have full control over their shared hosting environments.

First-party ads are theoretically kinda sorta maybe blockable via various levels of heuristics, which of course adblockers are already doing to various extents today.

But as far as preventing your information from being forwarded behind the scenes, there's no technical solution. Legislation is the only hope to curb it.
Exactly. The only way to create a black boxed env on devices outside of the attackers premises is if the attackers built the devices themselves and have thrown decades of iterative development out the window to create equipment resistant to endless physical attacks. Transporting state secrets is a simpler task.

That just moves the goalposts though. People will still deconstruct and reverse engineer the black box, or sniff the lines it uses and attack the traffic. Or anything else. There are countless attack vectors against a device in physical possession. So unless the devices are melting down into slag and can perfectly detect even passive attacks then the advertisers will always lose.

This doesn't stop them from trying. If advertising can be made more expensive then the roi the advertisers will stop. Some will irrationally throw money at the problem way past the point they should've given up but even they will taper off eventually.
