I presume you mean in Crostini? Sure, that works but there are limitations:

1) the use of the on-screen keyboard in tablet mode is iffy with Crostini apps: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=826614 . On my HP X2, I wanted to use Thunderbird to get my email while using the device as a tablet: in addition to scaling issues, the inability to enter text made it impossible for me. It seems that Google seems to be abandoning the idea of detachable Chromebooks replacing the nearly-dead Android tablet market so maybe the expectation of a hardware keyboard is not outrageous.

2) On my machine, the performance of Crostini apps does not even come close to the performance of the native Chrome browser.

That's just my experience though. Edit: FYI, my default browser on the device is Firefox/Android but again, its performance does not come close to the native Chrome plus the latter passive-aggressively brings up a 'choose browser' dialog for any pages I happen to be browsing in it. It really has been an extremely unpleasant experience but I haven't found anything better yet for my specific use case.
I think the hardware lifecycle heavily favors the home server. This is reflected in the much higher cost of cloud computing vs owning the hardware. Cloud components have to be standardized and are swapped out en masse every few years.
I moved to Sweden from Norway at a time when writing a check really was a thing :) It baffled me that swedes would pronounce 'check' with an initial 'k'-sound (as in "käk" or "käck"), which is not at all like the pronunciation in Norway (which is similar to the English pronunciation). What a strange country :-)
You've got to give them enough time to dig a tunnel underneath.
The Unifi machines don't pass the "mom" test. I would never give something that has anything like the Unifi management UI to my parents.
> At that point we will have lost.

I'm actually hoping it paves the way for more independent publishers that focus on quality content and charging.

Ads have ALWAYS sucked and been a horrible solution to funding news, journalism, etc.

The problem is that ads basically cause other users to defect to platforms that are free (but sponsored by ads).
Since you mention Unify,

I've come to absolutely despise the Unifi (from Ubiquity) wifi routers and avoids them at all cost, here's why:

In order to set them up, you need to download a terribly confusing software (the "Unify controller") that has never worked well on my mac os machines.

Said software then needs to "adopt" the wifi routers you want to configure. The configuration is then saved onto your computer (as opposed to "applied" to the wifi router).

This means, you can not easily manage your access points from any computer. You need to set up a permanent machine to host the configuration, or, you need to somehow move the configuration from computer to computer.

To add insult to injury, if like me you happen to loose the configuration files, "re-adopting" the access point will force you to take your router offline, which is less than amazing for an enterprise product that an entire office depends on to get work done.

Once you've gone through the hoops of download, installing, debugging the proprietary software, you have to deal with its utterly confusing UI.
Oh no :(. I'll have to fix that one when I head home in an hour or so.

Thanks for flagging it!
Maybe we should be more specific about tech startups there. In 2017, it was a liability to be a remote company. In 2019, it's become an asset.
Agreed. Also on the topic of complacency it's hard to understand why the 2 thoughts would be linked (as I'm sure they are for many people). You've been given an opportunity so try take advantage. Trying your best is a minimum and I'm not even from the school of protestant work ethic thought. I suspect that conditioning from early age to submit to authority (school) plays a huge part and is ultimately very destructive for society.
Haven't seen anyone talk about it but I believe happiness is partly hereditary. It's genetic (not totally, but it must play a big part, since depression is heredity[1]).

Just think about yourself and your own natural happiness level. For my siblings and I, it seems very similar to our parents. Of course not everyone is this way but I definitely believe some people are born a lot happier than others.

>why Toyota Corollas and Ford F-150's don't use the same engine

Yeah, they're now a weaker (browser) engine bolted on with adapters to the gui engine. Everyone gets to go through the js bottleneck.
Oh, um, that’s interesting. I have found I can make myself dream while awake in a way... I use relaxation techniques on myself all day and it’s actually a bit frightening what you can make your own brain do...

What happened to me is I became more openminded, more fluent in my writing, more daring in my choices, and actually also more socially aware...

I can only compare it to eating the forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden, or to Buddhas awakening. I have such control over my own state of mind that I can calm myself down to such a degree that it almost feels like I smoked a joint, or work myself up into rage or excitement. It’s like playing yourself like a musical instrument as you constantly focus on your breathing.

The other day I had the bizarre experience of sustaining a sexual climax for what must’ve been 20 minutes because I had put myself in such an extremely relaxed state that I could just let it “hang” there forever.

This state of mind seems to be what artists, writers, lawyers and other people who just apply creative thinking in their work are in most of the time, as well as astronauts and professional athletes. The calmness makes you extremely fast and precise.

Interestingly, I began to learn this after taking ADHD meds, but now in need less meds than before. Turns out my ADHD was just a need to stay in a very calm and playful state most of the time. The funny thing is that this has caused me to climb up on Maslow’s pyramid of needs.

I think what ADHD meds often do is help you function but also push you to a breakdown and then your brain starts testing other modes of operation that won’t cause another breakdown. Facing adversity, such as the death of your mother, also seems to be a common trigger for it...

Why the comparison to the forbidden fruit? Because every thought I have now is a double edged sword. Whenever I think something I instantly see the flip side. When I look at other people, I read their body language like a book. Also, self talk has become frighteningly effective.

I wish I had a scientific explanation for it. The closest I can think of is something called psychosynthesis, together with the theories of Jung. I feel like what I’ve done is let the id and ego swap places... or perhaps the id and the superego. Feels like I’m damned near egoless. It’s almost impossible to say hurtful remarks to me.

On the way here, I had something that can best be described as a breakdown followed by a feeling of all encompassing love. A gentle voice told me it loved me and wanted me to be happy and I was overwhelmed with emotion.

I also went slightly paranoid at one point and was convinced everyone was out to get me. I trusted everything my intuition told me, every suspicion and gut feeling felt like reality.

I got over that, but I rely far more on gut feeling now than I ever did before and it makes me very fluent in my writing and very unafraid to ask questions, etc.

It’s been really bizarre.
I am hearing that a fledgling startup needs to "Sell First" and then build it- They Will come. Any ideas on how I should balance the concept of the idea and the actual MVP that I would market to my early adopter customers? Thanks in advance for any insights.
After a 35-year career writing software for various companies, my biggest regret is that I never insisted on a written contract. If I had, the companies I worked for probably would have lost interest in hiring me. Professionals insist on written contracts. Tech workers do not, but they should. I believe this is what tech companies fear most.

Looks like the welds holding the bulkhead on failed.

For those who aren't keeping up with this the failure was on the Mk1 prototype. Mk2 has been build nearly in parallel with Mk1 and will take over early flight testing (20km hop). Elon has tweeted that this team will jump to Mk3 instead of trying to repair Mk1.
Yes, actually. Academically marketing is defined by the general marketing mix of: Product, Pricing, Place, and Promotion. Product here relates to fully understanding the end users goals. You then need to design a product that meets those goals, and a brand which communicates to your user how those goals are met.

It's common place now for people to think of 'marketing' as 'advertising'. It is a much more robust subject than that. This is driven largely by the product management role being so closely integrated to the engineering flow. As I understand it, traditionally product management was a marketing department role. You can see this more with non-software companies like food or transportation.

Hardly. It's linking to newsweek article, from where it gets the info about Giza and the picture, but is its own thing and has nothing to do with the supposed "original" of britannica (which is just a general piece on the 7 wonders with briefly mentions Giza, and says nothing about its surface, which is the topic here). It also features a NatGeo video on the topic.

It's also by a well-known website that does personal curation (not mere aggregation or mindless posting, and no shady SEO and other BS, to be worthy of the "blogspam" title). Kottke is a one-man-brand and has been at it for 2 decades...

When I was a kid, they taught us to say words like "white" with that sound for the 'wh'. I thought it was rather odd, since nobody outside of English class ever said it that way.
I don’t know the specifics of this particular setup, but aren’t pressure vessels usually tested hydrostatically.

Water, for example, can be pressurised without actually compressing, and therefore doesn’t undergo rapid expansion when a failure occurs.

There may be reason that precluded pressure testing with a fluid tough.

Here’s my XUL development story:

I built and managed (2009-2011) the XUL-based Elasticfox extension for Firefox that allowed users of EC2 to manage their compute resources on AWS. The extension pre-dated the AWS Console and introduced features such as resource tagging and search before they were part of the SDK.

The extension wouldn’t have been possible without XUL. In fact, it isn’t possible today. MDN documentation was really great even in those days, as was the community which answered a number of my questions. I was doing something really new, especially with calling into EC2 APIs, background refreshes, using Prefs.js to save tag information, etc., and the community was really responsive and supportive of my work. Quirks aside, my experience with XUL was great. Users truly appreciated the extension over the Java-based CLI, and a number of ideas (mine or those from the community) eventually made their way into the AWS Console.

I spent my last year at AWS working on the S3 Console using web technologies. I found XUL development to be easier than hacking CSS that year (circa 2010-11).

Edit: Added a note up top that this is my XUL story.

Often it's obvious, and checking takes no more than a second or two. It's just important that you do it.

"Beeldenstorm in Dutch (roughly "statue storm"), and Bildersturm in German ("image/statue storm") are terms used for outbreaks of destruction of religious images that occurred in Europe in the 16th century, known in English as the Great Iconoclasm or Iconoclastic Fury. During these spates of iconoclasm, Catholic art and many forms of church fittings and decoration were destroyed in unofficial or mob actions by Calvinist Protestant crowds as part of the Protestant Reformation. Most of the destruction was of art in churches and public places."

Hi, I enjoyed the Inside Sherpa program i learnt a lot from doing it.

It definitely can give your CV a little edge by having a big company there.

Yet to hear anything from JP which is the virtual internship i completed, but i never expected it to be an instant entry ticket. Its only been around a week since completion so perhaps they may reach out to me. Afterall spending time doing an internship specific to their company should at least mean they contact me.

Other than this I feel that doing an InsideSherpa program is worth the cost of your time. I will keep this post updated if i receive and contact.
> "When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm."

Wow, why would anyone think this is an okay viewpoint to have? Because capitalism? When I'm flying I don't care that the aircraft I'm in was made I by a company that was run like a business. I want to be in an aircraft that is safe. And the only thing that can make them safe is great engineering.

Clearly this comment was directed at investors and not customers. A business's goal is to please investors. If that happens to be what's best for customers, it's just a side-effect. An engineer on the other hand cares about the actual product they are working on. And it order for that to be successful, customers have to be satisfied.
> If there is no difference, I'm afraid all white land-owners in America are going to need to return their land to the natives.

I'm glad you admitted that there is an argument to be made there.
Yes. This absolutely happens. What was strange for me was looking at clouds while tripping and pointing out all the things I saw in the clouds. My companion saw all the same things. There’s no way a sober person would have seen any of it.
> The difference is rarely do people wake from a dream and feel they ought to change their life in major ways as a result.

I dunno about a major way, but I've had dreams which took days to properly snap back after, because the experiences felt so real that I felt an emptiness similar to bereavement for the fictional people that I dreamed about. That felt just as real to me as my experiences on DMT. I've also had Ketamine experiences that were similarly profound and have stuck with me since. Once I had a K trip which felt like I was outside of time, watching the cogs of the universe tick past instant by instant for all eternity. That experience snapped me out of a pretty depressive period of my life.

People of course have profound meaningful experiences on DMT, but I don't think its exclusive to it and any strong hallucinogen or dissociative can, in my opinion, have similarly strong impacts for some people.
The idea seemed to be that the customer could check out with clerks around the store, but the cash was stored and counted in a secure area by trusted employees.

A decline in robberies probably also helped. Department stores like Sears and Macy's now have distributed cash registers around the store, sometimes in low traffic areas, but I've never heard of them getting robbed.
But just look at wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_....

Arguing based on Wikipedia articles is not a good idea, but for the sake of the argument I'll bite.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/11/great-pyramid-...

Zahi Hawas is a political animal who until recently was in charge of antiquities business in Egypt. Besides trying to copyright the shape of the pyramids, he was interested in making preposterous claims with the aim of connecting ancient Egypt with the contemporary one and denying ancient Jews had any contribution to the pyramids.

In the particular case of whether the pyramids were build or not by slaves, he's using a sleight of hands based on the fallacy of composition with a sprinkle of false dilemma: just because there were SOME free workers at one Pyramid, doesn't mean THE MAJORITY or ALL the workers at ALL the pyramids were free.

According to you, I'm guessing nobody; but that's not what he was asking.
> I don't understand this claim.

I'd say it is more accurate to characterize your points as a "marketing feasibility analysis". But this is as much my opinion based on my understanding of marketing, as it is actual "marketing of a product" per se.
I lived in Sweden for a little over a year. This sound wasn't the hardest to figure out, but it's one of the harder ones to remember to use since the natural instinct is to make the "syuh" sound.

To make the sound with your mouth, make a really guttural 'H' sound like a golf swing.

Ah so this wasn't an accident? They needed to know the pressure limits so they purposely blew the bulkhead?
The Finnish form of Swedish resembles how Swedish was like a hundred years a go.

"Skjorta" (a shirt) uses the pronunciation described in the article, but was earlier pronounced as "Skiorta" which I believe is the form used in Finland. Same thing with "Stjärna" (a star) which was formerly pronounced "Stierna".

On the other hand, I was born a Norwegian so I could be all wrong :) Norwegians have a special relationship with "kj"-sounds -- which the younger generation is avoiding. Youngsters are actually replacing the hard "kj" with the soft sound described in the article.
The essential point of MESI is that it doesn't need a single master. In a sense, anyone who has exclusive ownership of a cache line is the "master" for that one cache line.

The downsides of MESI are that (a) it requires broadcasts, which don't scale very well; and (b) it doesn't tolerate partitions -- which also imposes an effective scaling limit, since large systems are always partitioned (usually with a partition of N-k and k partitions of 1, due to k nodes having failed).
I think unifi is meant to be managed via cloud/cloud key. They also have the dream machine which is an all in one for smaller deployments.
> emotional manipulation does not break the fundamental trust children have in their parents

It certainly can. I'm not taking either side in this argument, but the claim here is overstated.
People tell you to “focus” and it’s very funny because I think much clearer than them by NOT focusing. My brain isn’t so much focused on one thing as it’s focused on everything at once. Intuition works very fast so if you give it a few data points it will triangulate them almost instantaneously.
That's very meta. And an excellent philosophical question!
Its also slow and bloated. You get what you pay for
> Not everyone, but I'd say modern society is hedonistic—we seek happiness instead of achievement and get neither.

I agree on the hedonism but I'm not sure the happiness-achievement struggle is as simple. There are plenty of people who have achieved stuff my some metric (fame, wealth, etc.) and are still deeply unhappy
I was your co-worker. Built a custom board entirely for aesthetic reasons, and didn't really know how to do anything that required a function key without trial and error for about a year.

Then a co-worker made fun of me. I memorized what all the modifiers did and became fully proficient in about 48 hours.
They say a journey of 10,000 steps starts with a single step. And then you have a journey of 9,999 steps, which starts with a single step. That is, there's never a time when you take 10,000 steps in one go, or when you do an entire journey in one go, the whole journey ends with a single step as well.

Given that the entire journey is single steps, if you take one step and then beat yourself up because one step is nothing, and tell yourself how much of a loser you are for only moving one step, and how other would people disapprove .. that makes the entire journey thousands of steps where you beat yourself up because each step isn't enough. How are you going to face, and endure, such a miserable journey?

By contrast, if each step is a rewarding piece of progress, which you cheer yourself on for, then (in a recursive sense), the entire journey ahead of you unfolds into thousands of rewarding, cheerful pieces of progress encouraging you forwards.

I myself didn't lose half my bodyweight because I was happy, quite the contrary, I hated --and still hate-- my body.

You've worked hard to go from self-hate to self-hate, through thousands of steps each full of self-hate. What kind of progress is that, really? What kind of life is that? In a fraction of the time and effort you could have gone from self-hate to self-approval, without changing anything except thoughts and without doing anything except thinking.

I'm equally sure that happiness will not make one successful.

If you were happy being fat, what use would you have for "success"? What if you die half way through the journey and never reach the end - is success a goal that only exists at one point in time, and if you don't live long enough, you can't have it? Why not feel happy and successful at every moment of calorie counting, grateful at having the opportunity to buy chicken and salad instead of fried chicken and gravy, happy at the scenery around you when you go out to exercise, instead of filling each moment with self-hate and bitterness and what have you?

If every moment you play a tune, you hate how badly you play, and it drives you to play more precisely, but you hate playing and feel bad afterwards, are you better off or worse off than someone who plays imprecisely, but loves every moment they play and can't wait to play more and feels better afterwards?
How can you say that when the 16" MBP brought back the 'Escape' key? Why would you minimize your (our?) voice in this manner? To what end?
