Guy Steele expresses similar admiration. Currently a research scientist for Sun Microsystems, he remembers Stallman primarily as a "brilliant programmer with the ability to generate large quantities of relatively bug-free code." Although their personalities didn't exactly mesh, Steele and Stallman collaborated long enough for Steele to get a glimpse of Stallman's intense coding style. He recalls a notable episode in the late 1970s when the two programmers banded together to write the editor's "pretty print" feature. Originally conceived by Steele, pretty print was another keystroke-triggerd feature that reformatted Emacs' source code so that it was both more readable and took up less space, further bolstering the program's WYSIWIG qualities. The feature was strategic enough to attract Stallman's active interest, and it wasn't long before Steele wrote that he and Stallman were planning an improved version.

"We sat down one morning," recalls Steele. "I was at the keyboard, and he was at my elbow," says Steele. "He was perfectly willing to let me type, but he was also telling me what to type.

The programming session lasted 10 hours. Throughout that entire time, Steele says, neither he nor Stallman took a break or made any small talk. By the end of the session, they had managed to hack the pretty print source code to just under 100 lines. "My fingers were on the keyboard the whole time," Steele recalls, "but it felt like both of our ideas were flowing onto the screen. He told me what to type, and I typed it."

The length of the session revealed itself when Steele finally left the AI Lab. Standing outside the building at 545 Tech Square, he was surprised to find himself surrounded by nighttime darkness. As a programmer, Steele was used to marathon coding sessions. Still, something about this session was different. Working with Stallman had forced Steele to block out all external stimuli and focus his entire mental energies on the task at hand. Looking back, Steele says he found the Stallman mind-meld both exhilarating and scary at the same time. "My first thought afterward was: it was a great experience, very intense, and that I never wanted to do it again in my life."
You can avoid becoming resistant to the medication by taking "holidays". I usually do this Friday-Sunday most weeks. A daily alternative can be wellbutrin or aplenzin as well.

Also most people can get away with generics so even without insurance the meds are cheap. The psych visits will cost $300-400 a pop though....

Their existing data can't really be used for personalized medicine. If they want to pursue that market they'll need different testing protocols and additional regulatory approvals.

> When you use it to describe someone else's business it's often considered a slur

I see.

I find it a bit unsettling that in some cultures stating that a business has priorities other than profit at all costs is considered a slur.
Or use the C-u 0 prefix to repeat till there is an error, possibly at the end of buffer. And if you don't want to go on to the end of the buffer, narrow to the required region (C-x n n) and widen afterwards (C-x n w).
And it actually looked quite nice in that application.
There is also a newly opened medical research facility that investigates pathogens in Wuhan. It's possible the virus escaped.
I would mention generics also. It has forced me to a clean architecture from the start without throwing away code.

This made me curious which projects on Github use this color, and it seems pretty common as a shadow color in Material design: https://github.com/search?q=%22%23412f1c%22&type=Code
How does this law allow for taking pictures in or of public spaces? Are you just now allowed to use facial recognition tech on personal photos of public places? How does Facebook get around this? Or do they just ignore the law?
Indeed, but you are already one step ahead with real-time updates. This is an entirely different beast than static schedule data. In my experience (I occasionally talk to people in the industry), even providers of public transportation in cities with over 500,000 inhabitants have trouble providing reliable and machine-readable real-time information (like: this trip is cancelled today, this trip is 5 minutes delayed at station X, there is an additional trip Y today, expect delays this afternoon because of Z, ...). At least where I come from, the solution was that the state government decided to build a centralized infrastructure for all providers to use. Real-time information is displayed there on a website which also provides a real-time route planning. The real-time data is also available in machine-readable form.

It is a lot easier to convince a small bus operator in a rural area to just enter cancellations / delays into a website than it is to convince him to buy and administer servers and software to built its own real-time service.
What's a better solution? Charge more for Linux and Mac versions?
So Epic buys Psyonix in May 2019, Rocket League is an Unreal Engine game, and less than a year later Epic/Psyonix drops support two supported Unreal Engine platforms.

Is this isolated? Do I have any rational reason to sweat this as foreshadowing of Epic dropping those as UE4 platforms?
Yamaha (as well as others) have wireless functionality and, most importantly, sync capability.
I'm surprised Twitter isn't doing more about political bots, since they've banned political ad dollars.

On the other hand, if they banned an account and it turned out to be a real person, they could get some first amendment lawsuits.
It'll work, but anti-cheat software can easily mistake the emulated Linux environment to be a tampered Windows environment and flag your account.

It'll work for a while, probably, but there's no way to know how long and if/when you risk an account wide ban.
For the wiring path, I did exactly that. In each room the speakers in the wall/ceiling route first to a junction box in the wall, then from there to a central location. That allows central control, or if needed local to room control and use.

The only additional cost was the slight increase in wire length due to the minor path diversion.
That jab at the end was uncalled for. Keeping it civil, I might counter:
If the basis of your web application's approach to something as fundamental as layout is "dropping in" a 3rd-party, jquery-based package, you're doing something trivial.
This is great. I've been collecting a list of open data sets for a while now with an eye to at some point turn it into a blog post. Now maybe I don't have to... saved me some work!

I mean, I play NetHack in it. I don’t think any IDE has that kind of flexibility.
Study objective design - NASA documents, cockpit instrumentation, nuclear power plant control panels, etc.

Design and designers today are completely and utterly misguided, self-serving and chasing trends. Yes, its a strong statement but I have observed complete lack of understanding of how to make products and services with users in mind. From Apple to your typical SaaS startup, from Slack to Stripe.

Design is not only appearance. It is how a thing works (quoting Steve Jobs who himself didn't follow his own advice). About the only Designer I deeply admire is Dieter Rams. There is so much clarity in what he devised and designed.
You've got a space force with their own wacky uniforms, so anything is possible.
I agree these "literary" things can be hard to read, but try treating the words as a stream of consciousness designed to evoke a feeling rather than say a usual newspaper article to say something concrete.

I regard literary works as an art form to be experienced much the same as you'd experience a painting in a gallery, and I think thats how they are meant to be interpreted.

Like picking a random phrase from the article "including the sandpipers whose murmurous flocks contain more than a little of the transcendental" - murmorous flocks evokes a large number of birds making a noise, the art is in the use of words to evoke a feeling and a picture. I think its designed to be read more slowly and thought about a lot more than you would a usual article - an experience to be savoured with a fine wine on a Sunday afternoon, rather than something to read on the way to work on the train.
There are far more important things to work on than personalized medicine. All personalized medicine would do, in the near term, is make medicine more expensive.

Finding better candidates for clinical trials, and then running better clinical trials are the two biggest things that have a positive impact.
I also have ADHD (Or what was called ADD before - i.e, not the hyperactive part), and got diagnosed as an adult. As a child, I was extremely hyperactive - by some mystery, my parents didn't get me examined. And since I mellowed down in my teens, them nor school bothered to do anything.

But, yes, it's awful. For me, the worst parts are:

- Uncontrollable "hyperfocus" on things you really don't have control over. It would be awesome if you could control your interest, but it's usually the other way around. Something finds you, and you can't stop focusing on it. Everything around you becomes irrelevant, it's like a drug.

- Poor time management. For some reason, things just fly by you. Because you have a hard time focusing on different things, they get neglected really fast, and you suddenly find yourself hours / days / weeks later, remembering that you should have done some thing. Taking out the trash, paying your bills, handing in homework, getting your car looked at, etc.

- Having a hard time reading long pieces of text. During college I absolutely loathed classes with a lot of reading, as I'd read the same part 4 times over, zoning out each time.

- Zero sympathy from other people. You easily get branded lazy. My teachers said year after year that I was bright, but lazy - so I figured there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just lazy.

- Depression and anxiety etc. that comes and goes. I especially remember back in college when I studied Engineering, and most of my classmates would study 12 hours a day, deep into the books. It was impossible for me to do the same, so I pretty much lived from one all-nighter to another, feeling like a total fraud because I couldn't dedicate 1/10th of the time to school, as my buddies did. My anxiety was over the top.
Turns out the US military also buys lots of commercial off the shelf stuff, including vast quantities of #10 letter envelopes for their mail. The US Defense establishment has thoroughly accepted the fact that they can't out-innovate commercial companies in a commercially viable space. Using the COTS top 5 or 10 is entirely reasonable in such cases.

We fly troops on Delta and American too. I bet a few even flew in Boeing 737 Maxes. Perfect? No. Excellent decision among some number of possibly better decisions, that could have been made at the time? Yes.
If you want to game on a Mac just fire up Bootcamp. Always blew me away how much better games ran on Windows vs. MacOS on the same hardware. Just night and day difference.
It’s terrifying how cheap and easy it is to masquerade as hundreds of thousands to millions of people on social media using automation, and how little social media companies are doing to stop it.

Regardless of the numbers, the stress it’s placing on discourse is devastating, and there seem to be few serious, market-driven solutions to this problem.

The growth-at-all-costs mentality has put companies like Twitter in a position where they must choose between profits and responsible community development and moderation. It’s clear which path they’ve chosen.
Fantastic quote, thanks.
> ...work by its very nature is doing something you don't want to do because they're paying you...

I emphasize with this, and work certainly has this aspect, but I think there's a better way to think about it: the nature of work is doing something valuable to somebody else for money. You don't get money for doing something you dislike and, crucially, people will still pay you to do useful things even if you enjoy them!

The practical upside is that it is possible to find work you enjoy. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing this as much as you are able, and you shouldn't feel guilty once you do find work you enjoy. It's easy to internalize a Puritan "work as penance" point of view living in the US, but I think it's not a useful (or accurate) way to think about it.

Of course, none of this changes your conclusion—if you feel this way, you should get some help. And, hell, even if you don't feel these things, chatting with a therapist will probably have a healthy effect on your life.
Not a doctor but sometimes ADHD-like symptoms can be other things like being bipolar.

There are a lot of non-stimulant and non-drug options to explore.
That is an interesting approach, I can't rationalize on it though since it hits at part of the core issue - you are choosing someone to live. I'm a big old softy sure, but I genuinely feel anxious judging individuals in meaningful ways.

I definitely prefer the new me. There is a continual spectrum of mes from being a young kid to an adult (ship of theseus style[1]) but this is different (and I think Elton John's situation was similar). I can clearly see a me I like and an alternative me. In theory, every day of my life I make a choice to give that day to the me I like - but gods when I think about it it can get heart wrenching.
Digging in, I'm basically denying that alternative me a chance to be alive... And I've never killed that other me, it's sitting there and I might be that me tomorrow, it's just that every day so far I've chosen that today won't be the day it is me... Similarly Elton John could always return to being Reginald (or however he identifies his older identity) he just doesn't.

As someone who waxes philosophically this is an interesting consideration to dive into but thankfully most days I skip right past it and don't perseverate. It's pleasant to share though, since I don't like vocalizing it with most folks.

I wish the local elementary school would do something about the yang gangers who draw lengthy screeds in shoepolish on the side of their van and park it in front of the doors every day. There's a rule against political ads on the property, but apparently not against cars parking there.

I like a lot of Yang's proposals. I just wish the enthusiasm of his supporters could be a little more... judiciously focused?

>Boredom is inevitable to humans, everyone has to go through it. We just have to find ways to keep us out of long stretches of boredom!

Well no, this isn't true! Gee. I haven't been bored in like 30 years. There are so many things to do in this world - now the problem is I need more lifetimes to do them all. Like 5 or 6 at least. Then I always have a good book on me, if I have to wait in an office or something. And a notebook to write down ideas. (I've never had a mobile phone) Plus I'm a musician, so can always play in my head. (It feels just like playing a real piano or guitar.) And I learnt to draw and paint, and learnt how little we usually see things, so I can spend hours looking at the details of a scene. Then there's reminiscing, making plans, talking to myself in Spanish–a language I'm learning etc etc.

Hmm also years ago I read about that what is unpleasant about boredom is rebelling against it. If you just accept it and sit with it, it's fascinating. (The suggestion to meditate is a great one. Focus on your breathing. Just keep returning to that. Stop judging your thoughts!) I developed a way of not waiting e.g. for buses. Waiting is unpleasant–but just being there isn't - it's wonderful. Waiting is a state of mind, a state of lack, not having what you want. (The way spiritual seekers define themselves as not having what they want! But always seeking it.. I stopped doing that too.) I could go on, but in short - develop your mind and your life.
Let me get this straight: You work 50+ hours a week (40 of which Apple actually pays you for) at Apple on official Apple projects. Then you buy an Apple computer with your own money, spend a bunch of your own "free" time at home writing a new app for Apple's iPhone, and submit it to Apple's App Store. Now Apple apparently has the gall to demand 100% of the revenue rather than their (already generous) 30% standard cut?

Talk about egregious.

In a case like this, they would just request the information through a legal procedural called "discovery" in which a party is required to turn over requested information relevant to a legal matter to the opposing party.

In short, it doesn't matter if they don't have EULA or technical access to the data.
I'm not sure you'd like to continue this discussion. I'm kinda interested in your point of view, but ... I don't want to impose on you, so feel free to quit.

While you say: "I responded that based on my assessment, this is not good evidence to support a claim that climate change (e.g. global warming) is 'real' and is human caused, and I specifically laid out why.

That's it. That was the point."

I don't dispute that this particular piece of "evidence" might be problematic. I'm not prepared to invest the time to make an independent determination one way or the other, frankly. You have, and I have no reason to doubt that you've raised valid issues.

I do have some issues with your apparent dismissal of expert consensus. I think "an argumentum ad populum" is mislabeling. When the people who hold the opinion are experts in the field, and the overwhelming majority of them say the same thing, choosing to dismiss that as some sort of mob delusion seems wrong.

The vast majority of experts tell me the Earth is an oblate sphere. There are some people who claim it's flat. Do I dismiss those experts? Or, perhaps more to my point, do you?

As I said: there are times in history, both recent and not so recent, when the consensus of experts has been incorrect. Groupthink is real, political pressure is real, lazy thinking is real, and even fallacious understanding of reality is real.

That said, I do not believe that I, while perhaps a skilled technologist, have the expertise to form a judgement contrary to that of literally thousands of experts here.

Do you?

Or are you simply attempting to ensure that when evidence is presented, it is immaculate?

You then say "As for the consequences being dire, we'll see". That also suggests to me that you do doubt the expert consensus? Of course, literally, you're right: the predicted outcomes are only predictions, and the climate is a massive complex system. The only way to be sure is to wait and see what happens.

The Michael Crichton link is 3:32 long. Would you be willing to summarize his point before I wade through that?
Apple Arcade & iOS gaming is a whole different ballpark from Mac gaming. More and more it's becoming clear that Macs are limited to being work tools. I suspect most people with Macs and want to game on a big screen either own a Windows PC or have a console.
> I also wonder if this means that Rocket League will not run on Google Stadia and its competitors, as those platforms mostly run on Linux systems.

Firstly, what do you mean by competitors? I'm pretty sure none of xCloud, Playstation Now, or Nvidia Now use Linux systems.

Secondly, I wouldn't read that far into it. I doubt this has much to do with supporting the Linux API, and more about other burdens of support for Linux desktops, dealing with packaging that can deal with differences in distros, systems, and drivers especially in the context of all the configuration and poor vulkan support. Likely make Linux as a platform not worth supporting. Where Stadia will almost certainly be evaluated separately like a standard game console due to it's (I assume) hardware and api stability. Of course, Stadia may also not be decided worth the burden based on it's player-base, but I am confident it'll be an orthogonal decision.
It's weird because Unreal Engine 4 is actually pretty well supported on Linux. I wrote a substantial projection art piece recently that used a ton of low level UE4 features, including native C++ modules, and it all worked flawlessly on Linux[0]
