I think that's the part where we fundamentally disagree, or at least weigh things differently.

I don't see buying Chinese networking equipment as a choice about society. I see it as a choice about which device best serves my needs. So long as China isn't morally bankrupt (which I do not believe to be the case), I give zero weight to their societal model.

Even if I were weighing models of society against each other, America is only barely ahead of China in my mind. China may do some messed up things like their detention camps but America is no bastion of morality either. America fabricates evidence to invade its enemies, causes the deaths of hundreds of thousands in the process, holds people without trial or due process, tortures people, commits war crimes through assassination, arbitrarily pulls out of international deals, to the detriment of all, and refuses to respect international law to the point where it has declared it will invade one of its allies should one of its people be tried for war crimes.

Maybe China is morally worse, I'm not sure if I believe that at the moment. Whatever the case, I see America as far more dangerous.
I disagree, the biggest barrier to commercialization of this technology is that it's technically infeasible. For the projection to make it through your pupil onto the retina your eye needs to be carefully aligned with the projection beam. This just barely works indoors when you pupil is hugely dilated, now imagine being outside when your pupil is contracted. It's a non-starter.

That seems to be the trend. 'If you're not a facist, you're a nazi' looks to be the hip discourse lately. I have never been more happy, or genuinely nervous to be unaffiliated with any political movement burdened by other members.

Still though, remember the left, the right, the facists, the nazis, the whigs, and even stalin all think they were doing the right thing, and saving humanity by making hard choices at the expense of others. Power, no matter how it is held, can and will bulldoze the powerless, no matter who they are.
Ex Amazon here (AWS). Pretty much agree with your statement. Bezos "replicated" his management style extensively, the executive team in charge of that is called the "S team" (S = Senior), and I agree that Bezos retiring would not affect the company too much.

I really like that this system relies on one eye only. I have a very slight strabism and some VR/3D stuff are out of reach.
Agreed. I would also add that mobility issues are a short-cut to injury. You have to have great mobility in your hip flexors, IT bands, and ankles in order to perform deadlifts well (as well as any other lower body movement).

Sumo deadlifts are easy enough for a novice and are relatively lower impact. Form strictness is less of an issue for most people with these, and are a good starting point for deads.
For most people, self hosting their own data isn’t even an option. For the subset of privacy concerned people who have the technological knowledge to self host, making mistakes with their data is not “orders of magnitude less likely”.

An Illustrated Deepdive into Kubernetes Pod Security Policies
I was a child on a Commodore 64 with Flight Simulator. Before school one morning I took off from Chicago, leveled off, and pointed my cesna towards my city - New Orleans. When I got home, to my surprise, it was some 50 - 100 miles away. I took it in for a landing and... nothing. Nothing happens. Still, that was the best nothingness and I remember it to this day.

Looking forward to this version.

Addendum: When my parents took me to purchase my first pc - an ITT XTRA, I got to choose one piece of software to take home with it. Of course it was MS Flight Simulator.
It depends what you want to do. FS2020 is not going to likely have any kind of combat in it.

I fly both FS2020 alpha and DCS World fairly regularly, obviously the former a lot more in the past little bit. If you'd like help with anything DCS world I'd be more than happy to help out.
He was my next door office neighbor at SGI in the 90's. As a fairly junior programmer back then, learning about C++, it was awesome to go talk to Mr. Stepanov (never used first name with him), and then have your STL question answered with about an hour of contextual information for background. He was a little more measured in his hatred of OO in person, but all being said and done, our use of C++ was like using C with STL and RAII, no object hierarchies.
I have a NZXT H700i. Now if I compare my friends pc in the same tower with a after market cooler. When he turns it on I had to double check I pressed power cos it was silent. In mine. I hear a tiny noise. When at full speed. I can hear it. But it isn’t loud. In fact my old AIO was louder. So I definitely know what a good quality silent cooler is like. And I’ll upgrade soon just so it runs cooler than the stock one. But I just can’t understand the loudness thing.

As the other comment says tho it is subjective.
With how well they design user interfaces on their appliances, it’s little surprise they put battery life right in the middle of the field of view.

Rather like music theory, having a highly analytical mind is a boon...eventually. It's so easy to dig into the mathematical structure of it all and not deal with the actual thing. So start with the rollicking and absurd, and read it aloud!. Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, for example. I have yet to meet someone that doesn't get a grin out of that. Isherwood, 'The Common Cormorant'. These are poems that beat you over the head with their structure and meter. Limericks, doggerel, songs from Shakespare plays...and pay attention to where it seems to stutter or skip, where it doesn't work. That is the beginning of training your ear, and recovering the ability to feel and enjoy the sound, making that part of the reading experience. Technical prose has trained that out of us as a matter of self defense because so much technical prose is only tolerable with your ear firmly swathed in cotton wool and stored carefully away.

When you get past the level of limericks and children's poems level, suddenly you have interpretive choices to make because the precise flow and timing of sounds can work different ways and some work better than others, and as a reader you have to bring an interpretive faculty to these works. When you get to something like John Donne's poetry, you're now deep in "every bit of timing and inflection matters."

For children's poetry to get started, Belloc's 'The Bad Child's Book of Beasts' or the Looking Glass Book of Verse are high quality collections. Then it's worth getting something like a Norton Anthology of Poetry as a way of reading very widely very quickly to find out what appeals to you right now, and explore that further.

Many people recommend the Oxford Book of English Verse. I don't, because I think Quiller-Couch had insipid taste and his editing ranges from the uninspired to the positively atrocious (what he did to John Donne's 'The Ecstasy' is horrid). I have found Garrison Keillor's 'Good Poems' to be particularly approachable, high quality collection of verse. I also suggest Ezra Pound's 'ABCs of Reading', though you shouldn't take what he writes about Chinese as anything other than a metaphor for his topic at hand.

Spend time with Shakespeare, of course. I recommend the Oxford complete works. I do not recommend the Yale complete works. Did my wife and I have a tiff about that? Yes, we did. Was I able to demonstrate by reference to passages that I was right? Yes. Do we only have the Oxford in the house now? Yes.

Robert Frost's complete works are cheaply had and a necessity for someone studying modern poetry. Two or three poems of his are butchered in every school class, and the full range of what he worked on is generally ignored, because it can require a very finely tuned ear to hear and interpret the force that his longer, narrative poems can produce.

But really, once your ear starts to come together, dig through the Norton anthology and use it as pointers to further things to read.
>Microsoft Vista was a Windows 7 beta, and was "necessary" to basically experiment on the entire Home market, to make the product stable enough for enterprise.

That claim is directly contradicted by the fact that there's Windows Vista enterprise edition[1]. Vista is also supported for a full 10 years just like 7, which would be strange for something that was supposed to be an "experiment".

When I was working for the USGS I was tasked with making a stream tracer to help the national park service fight oil spills at mammoth cave. However I wasn’t allowed to write any server code due to security issues so I wrote the whole algorithm in javascript. It would take about 1 min to parse all the geojson streams into what what I called a node array which contained all the nodes containing the info of where streams connect and which stream they either flow downwards or upwards into. I eventually learned how to use node.js to allow me to run the node processor on the computer and then to just load the output files into the algorithm to allow the website to bypass this processing. I made a big push to try and open source my algorithm (minus all the confidential data the project had), however the website doesn’t have all the fancy controls that I created for the real project as I was hired by another company fairly quickly once I started applying around with this and a d3.js choropleth under my belt as my 2 first professional projects.

Hard Truths About Being a Freelance Software Developer
But if a claimant does send a letter and that letter gets ignored, what's their recourse if they can't sue? Send another, more angrily worded letter? That will show the defiant business owner what for! They'd likely have to find someone else to do file suit.

I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure that article is simplifying things, but using the information given, I would also sue first.
True, there's many ways to stop a DOS that can't be used to survive legitimate traffic but in any case a well rounded security test for an application that's uptime sensitive will probably determine performance bounds for the application. You kind of need to do that in order to cover your ass when the client inevitable installs it in a different kind of black box than tested it for.
But then, everything we look at paints an image onto our retina, so using it as a hook for a headline feels disingenuous.
Where does the 5B come from? They dont pay federal tax, they are getting state and local tax breaks, and providing jobs that have suffered wage stagnation since the bailouts. Politicians do this because they get their pockets stuffed, and then in turn Amazon and Bezos make bucket fulls of cash too. It is crazy to allow tax breaks for company's that largely don't pay taxes to start with, especially extremely profitable companies.

Unpopular Opinion: IDEs suck when teaching people programming. A simple Text editor, the simpler the better, is all we need, combined with a compiler. Modern IDEs introduce a boatload of completely irrelevant concepts and complexity that just adds to the confusion. Doesn't matter which one you use.

If I was to design a CS101 course, I'd do away with Java (which is the language of choice at my university) as well. I don't know what would be the replacement; vala looks nice but the resources are lacking. My main points in choosing a language to teach would be that I can do OO in it while not needing everything to be encapsulated in classes. Also, the language shouldn't care about whitespace, because if I'm teaching a few hundred students, I'm not going to debug a boatload of mixed tabs and spaces issues.

Also, my CS101 course would be about debugging as much as about programming. Including stuff like "here is some source code, that's the observed bug, submit a corrected version by midnight x-y-zzzz and describe how you debugged it in bullet points". Unfortunately, plagiarism on these types of assignments makes them very much useless in the real world where grades depend on that.

> Vim avoids the use of the mouse, because it’s too slow; Vim even avoids using the arrow keys because it requires too much movement.

I haven't read the article, but this reads to me as "using the mouse is too slow, so try VIM instead and soon you won't need to use the mouse anymore." and "Reaching for the arrow keys takes too much time, so try VIM and keep your hands on the home row for added productivity.", respectively.

The problem is that there are a limited number of people in the world who have experience dealing with the kinds of problems large-scale political enterprises deal with. Many (maybe even most) of those people are going to have gained that experience by working on campaigns. So if you automatically rule out anyone who's ever worked on a campaign, you're ruling out most of the people who would know how to do the things you want to do.

So don't take this too harshly, this looks well featured and I appreciate an ad-free model that can be used anywhere....

However...
It truly amazes me how bad design and UX on many cross-platform desktop apps are. They often are literally the 'Big Bang Theory' of showing that backend engineers are downright inept at design.

This app uses basically zero affordances to help drive layout priority or association. Few Bold fonts, poor padding, time stamps are mashed together and VERY hard to read. The home-view table has an extra col, the time column is too wide and the title col is not wide enough to read whole task names.
Your site literally illustrates a font-weight bug in the Mac version.

I'm sure it has great features and works fine! But your competition makes incredibly good looking products that are incredibly glanceable. Notably, many of the platform specific companies make amazing looking products that are deeply integrated into their OS. (Notably placement in the task/menu bar) Look at how Clockify is doing almost everything you do...for free. Sure, you offer data privacy by being fully offline..but then again you don't sync anything and forget about phones, you aren't even there!

I mean this looks like something you might find buried in an open source project from 2008...for $16USD.

You can have more than other people without tangibly owning more. Books like The Millionaire Next Door cover this. These millionaires don't own more physical resources, but have brokerage accounts that aren't subject to conspicuous consumption. They may also own a home or car, but it's not a mansion or anything more than a standard commuter vehicle.
Uhm... SF though? The weather there isn't really that great.

Wow that sounds a lot more complicated than the one I had, HP 42S, because you had to use codes for the instructions instead of just pulling up the instructions in readable ASCII.

I found this random example of entering a program on a 42S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQMOOxup8bI
Coincidentally, it even uses the FP (fractional part) and X=0? test that the OP mentioned.

I wanted to see what programming the 15C looked like, so I found this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4dF5nF8I88 Looks like you can enter the program without knowing the codes, but reviewing the code just shows codes.
Funny thing about those people is they constantly complain about how expensive everything is, yet they spend frivolous amounts of money on what's probably the highest marked up item: food. Meal prep for a week for ~$75 and you're set. It would cost probably 4 times that (at least, depending on where you eat) to eat out, not to mention you don't know how it was prepared, and it's probably wildly unhealthy compared to if you just cooked it at home.

Take 2-3 hours on Sundays and cook some food. It's not hard.
Wouldn't this whole system be fine with a Google Form submitted to a Doc?
I still don't understand. When I log into gmail, it logs me into all Google services. If I am worried about being tracked, surely my first mistake is logging in in the first place? Or visiting in the first place? After all, even if I click "log out," I'm only trusting Google that they unlinked the browser state from the account. If I trust them to do that, I don't see why I shouldn't trust them to ignore this experiment flag from Chrome, or at least not use it for tracking. If I don't trust them to avoid using the experiment state, I don't really see how you can trust them for anything.

Anyway, if you're not building Chrome from source, then you have to trust that they aren't putting anything bad in it. And if you are building chrome from source, you can observe that they only send this experiment ID to certain domains, and they already know who you are on those domains anyway.
Ah, I thought you can only apply after 5 years and show that you were physically present for 3 years. But I guess not.

> No consent. No opt-out.

Do you understand what licensing is? That's one of the underlying aspects that's important with software and why you can't treat it like other things you buy. I'd add it's also why things that adopt software-style licencing models are bad too.

A company creates a licence with terms and you agree to use the licence under those terms by using the software. The terms are difficult to change unless you have leverage. The only party other than the company is often the regulatory authority. Regulation is limited in the US at best when compared to the EU. If you are from the EU then you probably assume the US works similarly, but most Americans don't recognize issues like this one. When they do, it's hard to fight the incumbents and make something opt-in, or ban it outright.

> What's the motivation? Is it simple laziness because they don't want to deal with wetware? (the start of your first paragraph applies here too)

It's fairly simple. The motivation is making correct decisions based on the gold standards of decision-making that some people aspire to. The model is not dissimilar to clinical trials where a treatment is given to some individuals and not to others. The hope is that this form of experimentation removes bias and let's the product manager make the best decisions.

Based on this thinking it is not possible to test with just Google's employees. For many decisions, the bias will be significant, and ultimately the belief is that worse decisions will be made for users.

I'm trying to convey that in as neutral way as possible. I think this can be a useful technique, but I think that there is little discipline and accountability in the wider software world compared to medicine. You have PMs who'll routinely just run an A/B test longer to collect more data (that's better, right?), but invalidate their results, just to please management.

If anyone is going to implement this approach then I'd trust Google to implement it effectively to meet their needs. They do it on a large scale across their products and have many layers of people to ensure it's effectively meeting their needs. As stated in the previous paragraph, this doesn't mean that other people do it right, or that everyone in Google does it right every time. I'm sure they've had a fair share of failed experiments.
Out of stock, unfortunately
