YMMV, but as someone who lives in the city in SF and hasn’t ever owned a car before, I just got a car a month ago and so far it’s been a great decision, I’m loving it.

Before this I did zipcar or other services for the occasional trip, and sure, it’s convenient enough to physically get to the cars (unless they get fully booked in my neighborhood which does happen) but it’s still quite a bit of overhead. It’s a pain always having to know exactly how long you’ll be gone to book the right number of hours, since someone might book right after you so you can’t rely on being able to extend it at the last minute. And every time you book one for a day, you have to do the calculation - is it really worth spending $100 to go to a friend’s bbq in the suburbs? You also don’t have specific gear you may need like snow chains or mountain bike racks. I just ended up not using it all that often, only for specific big planned trips, and even then it adds additional stress.

Owning a car will certainly be more expensive for me overall, but I‘ll also use it a lot more. And I consider myself an urbanist, I’ve always been proud not to own one. Now I feel like I’ve been tilting at windmills all this time and it’s nice to give it up. SF is an insanely car-centric place for being so-called progressive, which sucks for density, and walkability, and street life, and pedestrian and biker safety. Public transit, especially on the weekends, is pretty bad. For instance getting from the east side of the city out to ocean beach or land’s end, would take over an hour on muni, but it’s a 20-30 minute drive. Public transit to get to even very popular destinations close to the city, like Napa or Muir Woods, is often non existent. Instead of being annoyed by it, now I can take better advantage of the perks of living here and do more with my free time, which is absolutely worth it to me right now.

My goal this year is to get out more, do more day hikes and other short trips, and so far it’s going great. I feel kind of dumb now for holding out this long, actually.
You realize your phone is providing everything anyone tracking you needs, without FR, already, TODAY?
Yeah, it's the opposite for me. I do nearly all of my computing on my iPad, and almost none on my phone. I also switched from Android (I was an early adopter, and originally bought the first G1 when it came out) to iPhone because the longer I used Android the more it felt hacked together.
Yet, you carry your phone.

That was largely caused by high dose of hormone used during treatment. I can be wrong but hormone is no longer used that often/much in the current outbreak.
Holloway has an astonishing - largely untold - 750 year (at least) history of transient development.

The name comes from horse-carts digging such deep ruts in the mud by 1300 it became known as the hollow way.

I love that Joe Meek wrote 'Telstar'[1] from a tiny flat in Holloway. It sounded like the future in 1962, and sounds like the past now. It's the same with the built environment.

I don't know what this document is meant to do but you will have to take my Jupyter-lab instance from my dead cold hands.

I love notebooks, I work fast, line by line I execute commands and I immediately see the output (dataframes or graphs). For complex code I have an editor open (in jupyter-lab or vscode) for some functions and classes. But the main developing is done in the notebook, anything that ends in a module start in my notebooks.

As a biologist that learned to program after 30 I just don't understand how you can develop data processing code without such a close handle on dataframes and without checking in graphs/visualizations if your code does what you expect. I don't see how I would do that in pure vscode of other IDEs.

I also don't understand this sentence: "Once the data is loaded, it then has to be cleaned, which participants complained is a repetitive and time consuming task that involves copying and pasting code from their personal "library" of commonly used functions." What is the alternative? Not cleaning the code? And why copy and paste when you can perfectly fine have your own shareable module on the side? I guess most notebook users do some kind of hybrid development.
My biggest annoyance with my iPad is accidentally opening links in a new Safari window. Sometimes that happens when I’m just scrolling and didn’t mean to open the link at all. So now you have multiple Safari windows that are completely undiscoverable. To switch between windows, you have to swipe up slowly and pick the one you want.

I have literally never wanted multiple windows of the same app on my iPad. But it keeps happening.

I’m a computer guy. I shudder to think what this is like for my grandmother.
> cells losing charge

Leave it powered up and let the controller re-write the data every year or so automatically.

>normal usage physically degrading medium

For 'read-only' data that is rewritten once per year to compensate for cells loosing charge, you can expect a lifetime over 10,000 years.

Sure, some SSD's available today wont handle the above cases properly and data will be lost, but it is not a theoretically unsolvable issue.

Nobody is asking the obvious question: Why would you go to a stadium or sports bar to watch sports on your phone. Didn't you just travel all the way to the stadium/sports bar to not have to watch sports on your phone?

And also. So if stadiums and sports bars would fix their wifi, does that negate the need for 5G completely? Remote areas are soon to be better serviced by satellite constellations anyway.
Exactly this. Locks only keep out "honest" people. I used to work in the access control space with a commercial bluetooth lock and app and our goals were always the following: 1) No systemic vulnerabilities (each user had a digital key specific to them, the lock and the time) and 2) Make a stone through the window the weakest link in the chain.
Jose?
Confusing headline, editorialized too much probably.
Stuck on Docker packaging? Get up to speed quickly
D-Bus is now mandatory system level software on Linux thanks to systemd. KHTML became the grandfather of practically all modern browsers except Firefox. In those terms, parts of the KDE project were extremely successful. It's a bit sad that the desktop as a whole didn't profit that much fron that success.
Because that would make it harder to pronounce.

So do you just always have someone at home? Or do your packages always go to the secure local depot?

Neither is really a great option in the US because:

most families have both adults working.

Other than a handful of cities, people are so spread out that having enough secure depot's in the right locations would be astronomically expensive.
As a statistician, and collector of statistics textbooks, the iPad had made my life (marriage) much better! I can download all the books I want, and have a (typically) better reading experience on the iPad, and I don't need to expand the number of book shelves in my apartment. Big win for me!

Let me quote the article

> More than 340 tech workers at Amazon used the hashtag #AMZNSpeakOut in public statements that condemn the company for not taking sufficient action on the climate crisis.

I'm sure that tech workers at Amazon are compensated quite handsomely. And even if those protesters were low paid warehouse staff (unlikely, protesting climate change is something that only those very well off can afford) do you assume that NGO would pay even less?
The article talks specifically about immigrant tech workers and the impact of different immigration rules between both countries on the tech job market. Salaries in some parts of the US is much larger than in Canada, nobody is arguing about that, but it's easier for a tech company to hire an immigrant in Canada. In a nutshell, the author pushes the idea that the US current immigration policy gives a disadvantage to the US tech industry, especially for startups.

It seems like an oversimplification, because immigrating in Canada is not so simple, especially when accounting for the differences between provinces (I've heard that Quebec is a bit paradoxical about immigrants).
Windows with WSL is pretty nice. I still prefer MacOS but mostly for convenience with interfacing with my other personal devices.
If the oil companies have to use a more expensive alternative service, it will drive up the marginal cost of extracting oil, and make oil less cost competitive against renewables. Furthermore, Amazon will no longer have business incentive to support the continuation of the fossil fuel industry, which could influence how they lobby on legislation.
Video cards as well; anything newer than High Sierra only supports AMD cards.

I'm genuinely curious -- what needs do you have that a used Mac would not support?

ipad pro is such a nice device but the iPadOS is still so limited.

if ipadOS is 50% capable as macOS, the ipad pro would be a dream machine for web developer.
> sending broken packets

Is this a big deal? The device can just discard it.

> hosting servers on public Internet hotspots

There's really no difference between someone hosting a server and streaming or uploading video on a social media platform. There are already ways to control or bill for data usage (some of which are stupid, like data caps), they will work just fine to control this behaviour too.

> incoming connections could drain battery a lot faster for mobile devices

I've used a SIM with a non-firewalled public IP for months. I haven't noticed any extra battery drain.
All of that is fine and well. The source of my skepticism is that I think there's a big leap to make between, "studies that are laser focused on the metabolic effects of fructose find that it's metabolized differently from glucose", and "fructose consumption is the primary cause of a major public health event." There's a whole chain of cause and effect that needs to be established to get there. The first link in that chain might be very strong indeed, but the rest of the links seem to be, judging by the information I'm aware of, somewhere between weak and nonexistent.

Here's a good satirical paper aimed at illustrating the dangers of trying to extrapolate large-scale effects from a constellation of individual metabolic effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3001541/
I noticed that too, but it's a public dataset from a single year, so possibly it's just that no Welshmen settled in the USA in 2018?
The advantage of a keyboard-initiated search is that it works in all apps (or damned well should).

Mind: on Android, with a keyboard (bluetooth), poor app support is frustratingly apparent. Even where basic keyboard input is recognised, obvious things don't work as expected.

In Pocket, the backspace/delete keys won't delete tags.

In PocketBook (an eBook reader), hitting space when entering a search term (which cannot be initiated with Ctrl-F) ... scrolls forward in the document.

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
I managed to snag an iPad Pro (pre USB-C model) last summer and bought the official Apple keyboard for it.

I've been using my MBP less and less ever since. I can cover a good deal of my normal "laptop" activities with the iPad.

- I can put the latest CW DC Superhero show I'm hate-watching on from Plex in picture-in-picture and browse Reddit or Hacker News at the same time
- I can use Newsblur to check my RSS feeds, Telegram/Discord/IRCCloud to chat
- The battery lasts me all day, from morning to night
- I can even use Blink.sh to log in via ssh/mosh to any server to tune some template or adjust script settings

The only time I actually pick up my MBP is when I need to do some Serious Coding with a Big Display (or two).

Even my commutes are more enjoyable with synced Plex media and Netflix downloads, beats looking at a 5" phone screen.
I dropped Linux in favor of IRIX on the desktop, because I found GNOME clunky and KDE a Windows ripoff, and ran that until I could get a Mac. When I got the Mac, despite being new, it was so slow that I installed Linux and WindowMaker on it instead. I soon broke the Mac, and got a cheap ThinkPad and ran Windows until I could afford a Mac again. I've had a Mac since 2008 now. I'd occasionally play with Linux, but especially once Unity appeared and perverted everyone's expectations of what Linux looked like, I thought the war was lost.

A couple years back, I decided to try out Plasma. Ho lee schitt. Plasma is good. Not as good as macOS, but Linux-good.

There's no real cost if you think about it. It's cheaper to invest in the 1-3 candidates you want to bring in and actually hire (i.e they pass the personality fit) than it is to make the wrong hire.

We absolutely don't compensate candidates for their time. From an economics perspective there's no value in the output, and the shared value is the opportunity for each side to determine if we have an alignment on fit. Each side makes an investment with an outcome based goal - that's why this is as equitable as we could make it.

And bad journalism gets repeated: 'gait recognition' is fraud now, it was something until proved to be unreliable and easily defeated several years ago. nobody peddling gait recognition is taken seriously - it is almost a line in the sand for technical idiots trying to cash in, not actual members of the security industry, just tech opportunists.

YOu are right regarding the vibrating dots. Actually, that is what makes the Optacon special compared to say, a refreshable braille display. It is actually easier to feel small structures if they are vibrating.

However, one big disadvantage of that system was the resulting noise. Reading with an optacon is pretty noisy.

However, it gave blind people a sort of independence that does no longer exist today. Some Optacon users did their degree with just that device, and basically no external help.
These days, OCR is still not enough and you often need help from a sighted person to actually get your study material prepared.
That’s a really good comparison. Excel is often used for storing data and doing analysis because it just plain works. And anyone can use it.

Notebooks tend to be the same way. It’s a simple GUI-ish was to do many complex analyses in a quick and dirty way.

And many of the arguments for not using Excel are the same as not using notebooks. Each is good at the initial data exploration stage, but are often abused and used in production when everyone knows it is a bad idea. But it still “works” so it is unlikely to be replaced.

(Especially when those that are working with the data don’t always have the skill set to build out a full production workflow.)
Maybe if I used the feature more. But the only time I use it is with a somewhat older large iPad that I sometimes use for drawing but which mostly sits in my kitchen to display recipes. I can never remember the right incantations when I try to do the split screen thing. And don't even try on the smaller iPad I use day to day.
"As an EU citizen"

This does confer some benefits with respect to safety net, etc. Working for an NGO might mean your kid not getting adequate health care.

Also, I don't believe TSLA is in a position to hire everyone who might like to work there (and they're not perfect themselves considering Elon's opposition to public transport that actually works, like buses)
Journals cost the general public access to science while having an even more questionable value than most copyright holders who at least bother to do things like remaster their old properties or develop new drugs. May they burn in hell.

Sci-hub means I can read the latest science about my disability without $40 paywalls on top of a mediocre paper which give eye-poppingly low margins to the actual authors. Papers which ironically often discuss how society makes disability a problem by throwing unnessecary barriers in front of the disabled. That yarn on about how the disabled lack autonomy over their own healthcare.
Ha, Street View in Germany is an entirely different topic.
That has more to do with metallurgy than with nuclear physics. It's clear that decay and fission products need at least 100 years to accumulate in any significant amount to affect munition performance.

Pure plutonium has 6 metallurgical phases, and alloys used in pits add even more to metallurgic issues.

Imagine an implosion design going through a brittle failure instead of an orderly compaction of a hollow pit? Or worse, one side of a pit went through phase transition, and the other don't and you don't even get a fizzle.
Thing is, I'm not a Mac or iOS developer either, but I find that even if alternatives exist, they're rarely as polished as what's available for macOS.

Consider Paste - Ditto exists for Windows, but it's just not as nice in my honest opinion. Or BetterTouchTool, I'm not aware of a Windows alternative.
Or just press Command-F on the keyboard =)
Ah, I think I have a hugely different approach to data processing: For my work I often have a very good idea what the output should look like, and what transformations are required on the input to get there. E.g. when processing log files to generate an overview page, or (as I'm doing right now) adding a target to binutils (assembler, linker,...). (Obviously I'm not a data scientist ;-)

With what you describe, intuitively I would use a library that allows me to store&load data per step (with verifying the structure matches), or pass it in-memory. Think JSON (yeah, slow) or something like protobuffers. That way I could do both

> store(A(read(input)) -> file); store(B(load(file)) -> file2)

during development (or in case B is in another language as A), and in production just

> B(A(read(some_other_input)))

But yeah, that's just my intuition of course. Maybe I'd be a bad data scientist.

However, can't you just experiment with smaller data sets? That's what I usually do if processing is slow (e.g. instead of parsing 10GB of log files, I'll just do 50MB to verify the processing pipeline works, and once that's it, run it on the full 10GB and grab a coffee while it runs). Not an option for data science?
yeah no it was just load, otherwise it would not work randomly like that

For the longest time I used this pattern to get test data to the developers local environment but in Compose v3 volumes_from was removed.

There is of course no problem in still using the older config file formats or Docker without Compose.

I switched over to building multiple stages, with and without test data for example.
Is your environment 10C higher than OP's? Most reviews compare coolers in terms of the temperature increase over background temperature to control for this.

80C for a 9900k under sustained high load would not concern or surprise me. It's a high end power hungry CPU. 100C is the cutoff temperature so maybe more cooling might help it turbo more but I doubt you even get throttling at 80C.

Would like to see those painted in a black-white pattern and have the calculated point of contact lighted up and filmed with high-speed cameras. And while someone is up there painting them, they might as well update the orbits to increase the chances of contact.

Let me recount an experience I heard second hand of a researcher developing user interfaces for research tools. Keep in mind the target audiences are people with PhD's and who have to comb through lots of data in order to do their job. They struggled with _double click_ as a concept.

And for your correct understanding: FR is not authoritative, is is not secure for financial transactions. Any company implementing FR alone as authentication to access sensitive, personal or financial data is stupendously foolish. Apple's FaceID is not 2D, it uses additional 3D data and multiple frames, so it is more secure, but not enough in my opinion for financial access.
I bought an Air 3 to replace my Air 1 recently and came the same conclusion as you. I got it for almost the exact price of my original one ($400) but with 4x more storage and the screen is larger (10.5’ instead of 9.7’) and laminated/ bonded this time. I use a tablet for media consumption not creation, so I don’t need the fastest processor or a stylus, and the Air line has been perfect for me.
