Medical imaging diagnosis was one of them.

Speech recognition/transcription was another. I don't know if it's my accent or my speech patterns(though foreigners regularly compliment my wife and myself on our pronunciation), but the tech hasn't gotten noticeably better for me since the days of Dragon natural speaking, and that was, what...10 years ago?

Sure, I can "hey Google/siri/alexa" a handful of predefined commands, but I still have to talk in a sort of stoccato "I am talking to a computer" voice, it still only gets it right 90% of the time, and God help you if you try anything new/natural not in the form of "writing Boolean logic programs with my voice".

After years of experimenting, I've concluded that it's not the medium, it's the ritual.

Things like meeting minutes I take electronically, but I still use physical notebooks as my main idea capture. I then go through and transcribe the notes onto the computer if I feel like follow-up action is needed.

I find that the most valuable part of the process is reviewing those written notes. Theoretically, I should be able to do the same thing with a program like Evernote, and I've tried that. In practice, I wound up taking shortcuts.

Going through and re-evaluating or adding to your original thoughts when moving from one medium to another is a valuable exercise.

Ok, but imagine an alternate universe where, if during the Holder era, there was a secret extradition order.

Would you imagine that what we are observing right now, would be any different than this hypothetical universe where a secret extradition order did indeed exist?

Is it really so hard to believe that such a hypothetical universe would almost certainly look exactly like the universe that we are in right now?

So it's irresponsible to connect to public Wi-Fi? Or, for that matter, to directly connect to a cellular network or any commercial ISP's service, without a router in the middle?

I don't buy it. Even if you do route all DNS through a resolver on your router, that's hardly "protected", unless that resolver is itself using DNS over HTTPS (or TLS). Do you trust your ISP? I don't, and like most of the US I'm not in much of a position to switch. But even if I did trust my ISP, I wouldn't trust that the entire path from me to whatever DNS server the router is contacting (whether it's a recursive resolver or an authoritative one) was free of intelligence agency taps. In fact it seems much more likely that there is a tap somewhere.

Always verify the equipment you are working on is still physically LO-TO. I heard a story about one person who LO-TO a breaker on Friday, and Monday it had power when he went to work on it.

I find the font hard to read... I feel like fixed-width fonts are better suited for coding or terminals. The width of the columns are also a bit larger than recommended for web typography (whatever that's worth to you). At full width, the blog shows about 120 characters per line. I've seen the optimal line length suggested as 50-80 characters. Compare...

Default (1160px): https://i.imgur.com/6I33kYB.png

It definitely tracks better to me at a reduced width, but your mileage may vary.

What is it that appeals to you the most about the blog's design? Admittedly it looks different and lots of sites look the same now. Someone like me would probably push to make it look more like Medium.

Let me elaborate a bit more on how the app computes sentiment. For a particular word, its sentiment is the average of the sentences' sentiments which contain both the word and the brandname (in order to identify the sentiment targeted at the brand, not just the overall sentiment).

For example, in the case of Mazda where you say that "regret" is classified as positive, if you look into which message it comes from you can see the original sentence: "Buy a Mazda, you won't regret it :)"

I agree with you that the word cloud is not useful on its own, and this is why you can click on a word to see the actual messages. Think of the word cloud as merely an entry point into a more detailed analysis by a human.

Thanks for the feedback.

The high end PC customer can keep upgrading frequently, while Google will need to upgrade their entire data center to offer the top experience every few months. They will settle for a reasonable good/great experience for their user base, while the High end PC owner will always be above the Stadia standard setup.

So it's not that Google's cost is higher than the high end PC owner, it's just that the high end PC owner is willing to throw more money at it to stay on top compare to what Google is willing to throw at its entire user base.

I recently moved to a 60% keyboard (Drop Alt with Clear switches) and really like it.

I find the look of these 40% keyboards very appealing. But I also don’t want to have to relearn to type or customize every keyboard I ever purchase in the future. If those barriers get reduced I think they could be very intriguing. Ortholinear keyboards are especially interesting...

I've always found this argument fascinating. I certainly don't, with the specific example of taxes (within my country, Australia). Is it that rampant in the US? Or is it really more that people who break the law assume everyone else does too?

I love the last line of this recollection: "But I simply could not find him. Whether he regretted having become so deeply engaged, or had discovered that, after all, I was just another Philistine, I do not know. At any rate, I never saw him again."

That seems to reinforce the philosopher as enigma, perhaps fitting for the philosopher who thought all philosophical problems had been solved with the publication of Tractatus.
In high school, circa '97, I was working in a computer lab. As I entered the room, I was rapidly admonished "don't touch the table!" So naturally, I reached out, tenderly as possible, brushed the table with my fingertip. Sure enough, the computer immediately reboots. He cusses a blue streak, as he's been trying to install Windows but folks kept touching the table! I regret not talking him through the issue, because obviously nobody would use such a flaky machine... but I'd (quite reasonbly) lost his goodwill in my initial mischeviousness. To this day I don't know how the machine was so sensitive to, presumably, a miniscule change in capacitance. There's a possibly that it wasn't grounded and I was carrying a nontrivial electrostatic charge, but the table surface was insulating!
Quantum information science, but I think this field is predicated on having a PhD.
Ha. Last time I wanted to buy something on Amazon, their search page kept freezing every time I load it: 100% CPU load. Because I really wanted to buy that thing, I spent 30 mins debugging their silly scripts and found one for-loop that tries to find a non-existent element. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to enable my fix in a minified script, as reloading the page kept loading the original script.
But in Spanish, unlike French for example, all letters are still pronounced. So I'm not sure this reasonning holds.

For sharing files between your own devices, AirDroid [1] would be the simplest one to use. It’s also accessible on web.airdroid.com so you can drop files on to the website and send to or receive from other devices.

For sharing with random people, if you can’t send long URLs (through messages or even through a QR code), then you probably can’t ask them to install an app or visit a website I suppose.

How do you explain this?

> You are not as immune as you think

You don't know what I think. Personally, I'm not even American, and have criticized the US for the stuff you mention more harshly than the average American by orders of magnitude. That doesn't mean I don't see the infinite difference between the US government sometimes sucking, and the CCP (== no elections, no free press, torture camps, putting down protests over the law being broken with force, dictating to companies what they may post in Western countries, and so on). Yeah, Snowden had to run, but we can talk about Snowden. There's American books by American publishers about American war crimes, Noam Chomsky leads a full, critical life. There's a greater risk that the Chinese government might kidnap or assassinate him, just for saying something they don't like in passing, than the US govt laying hand on him. So to even mention the CCP and the US in one sentence... again, I'm not even American, and even I know all that and more.

The only data point you're offering for what you think about the subject at hand is this "mirror check". Those are a dime a dozen, people pretending to be objective or neutral, and calling it a mirror check -- when the whole point of the exercise them getting away from their own personal stance and responsibility, while creating straw men up about a generic other.

Back when I used Icarus, I dont think it worked on Windows. I'm pretty sure it was the reason I got a cheap laptop off eBay to install FreeBSD on. This would have been around 2002-2003. Regardless, it is an awesome tool and certainly saved me a ton of time. I wish I could comment on its current state, but I just havent used it since college.

Tangential, working on FreeBSD with Icarus is what caused me to learn/love/prefer Vim. It was there. It worked, and I learned (some) of it's quirks.

> For instance I would have to look up how to directly type "ł" since I rarely need to type a Polish name... but I can get it in 1 second by holding down "l". Very handy!

What's more, you can't even type ł on the standard Apple layout. Sure, you could use the Apple Extended keyboard layout that handles more characters than what's used in Western Europe, but you'll lose ≈ (irritatingly, the Extended layout isn't a strict superset of the standard layout). I type ≈ more often than I type ł or ć or ō, so the hold-key behavior is a handy addition.

100% right, and they've been panned for this.

The result is a 16" Macbook that's thicker, larger, and has an "old-style" scissor switch keyboard.

Even the new Airpods pro finally have silicone tips.

Apple has learned the hard way, and looks like they're finally turning around a bit. Maybe even the next iPhone will have USB-C?

I don't own a single Apple device but would consider an iPad (a base model.. I don't need/want an expensive "Pro") if it had USB-C.

Or multi-month long business trips (I know a lot of people in this situation); if I was in that situation, you bet I would take some form of video game system with me. I already do when I travel alone, even if just for the 1-2 hours at the hotel between dinner and bed (I've always hated nightlife, the way most people understand it). In fact these hours usually become the most relaxing moments of the whole trip.
I used to keep statistics on this, although I don't anymore. I remember seeing one day that not a single e-mail I received was a .info domain was legit -- that is, 100% of e-mails received from any .info domain was spam.

No idea if that's still the case, though.

I agree with what you're saying, although there is not really a reason why this can't be done with BT client-side. It's just that, AFAIK, no torrent client supports this.

BT will, by default, prefer to download the least popular blocks. Client-side just needs a setting to "stop downloading after X blocks", divide your 1TB by the block size, and that's how many blocks you need to download to get 1TB.

I will add though, unfortunately with this torrent (at least the one that I am attempting to download), simply seeding a certain number of blocks is not very helpful. The files are mostly in a few giant zip files.
Of course the complexity is still there, but using WAMP/MAMP.app is exactly the context I'm thinking about this through :)

I agree that Next.js is making big strides in this direction. I think other scripting languages could do similar, too. I imagine Lua would already have something like this floating around, ready to be packaged up in this way?
And if the issue was that the machine ate a power surge at some point and the hard drive (+other components) was fried? It may have no longer been practical to recreate and QA that build machine...
Call me cynical, but I think a lot of the small style keyboards I see around the office are more of a fashion trend than anything.

I remember when the insistence was on number pads, and how dare they be removed from our laptops and desktop keyboards.

Fast forward a few years and I was made fun of at a programming job for preferring a full keyboard with a number pads. I guess programmers are too cool to enter in dollar amounts into Excel.

Now the trend is for brightly multi-colored keys, which are often unlabeled [1], and basically an otherwise standard rectangular keyboard which has no obvious ergonomic benefit over a full 100+ key keyboard.

[1] This makes no sense because the colored keys imply you enjoy looking at your keys and their unlabeled nature implies that you don’t need to look at your keys while you type. i.e. a fashion trend.
The algorithm will try to give more importance to words which appear rarely and are only used with the chosen brandname (similar to TF-IDF). This is why sometimes weird words can surface to the wordcloud, especially when the sample size of messages is small.

To prevent those words from appearing, I was thinking to implement some dictionary-check to only allow for meaningful words. However this approach also have drawback as you restrict people's words and can miss important new concepts.

Thanks for the feedback.

The usual reason is that if you want a binary that can be used "everywhere", you can't just build on your machine without more thought if you use the glibc because chances are you're going to be using symbols that aren't available in older versions of the glibc, making your binary incompatible with many (older) distros. musl is an easy way out of that. Another is to build against an old glibc.

I use a 40% keyboard (the planck ez), and I have to say I really enjoy using it. Typing english is about the same speed at this point, but I'm still lagging a bit behind in programming, mostly because my brain still confuses layers and shift. The thing I love most through is that I no longer curl my left pinky under my hand to hit shift, and my pinky doesn't hurt all the time.
