Indeed? Flowcharts aren't the only documentation. Swagger describes the API parameters, flowcharts describe the API code flow, and text provides a story, and comments in the code describe particulars.

Flowcharts are just where I've felt that I've significantly underperformed; where management has asked for more of them.

Putting my resume on the street is something I do often. Want to look at it?

If you think flowcharts aren't the way to describe code flow, then I'm curious what method you think is better.
Last time I worked with XSLT was in 2014, redesigning a major Brazilian airline reservation and ticketing system. At the time their passenger service system (Navitaire New Skies [1]) had already switched their white label front-end app from a home grown XSLT web framework to ASP .NET MVC 5, but the company I was working for wasn't particularly interested in paying the (higher) fee for using the "new" front-end framework.

This is unfortunately correct, but I still prefer Telegram to other chat clients.
For now, I think the majority of bandwidth would be the zillions of iPhone users doing backups and app updates all the time. However, this is definitely a way to pave the path for Apple TV+.
We use Delphi for some of our older applications (everything new is migrating to either C++17 or Go). I remember upgrading the IDE (forget which version, but it was about 3 years ago) and after loading my project, I hit F1 to bring up the help menu. The whole IDE crashed... Between little surprises like that and the insane licensing price, I'm glad we're moving off of it. I don't have any objections to the language itself, but the tooling just isn't where it needs to be.
>OSX virtualization has a hard requirement for running on Mac hardware.

If you aren't a stickler for Apple's terms of service (if you're doing this for business purposes, I suggest you should be), you can use a tool called macOS unlocker to patch VMWare Workstation to run macOS VMs. Runs great, though all VMWare products can only render display output for macOS in software mode.

I think this is the best point to shout out, in the Bay Area. Show how building projects can alleviate supply concerns for demographics who can't afford your suburban home, and how the increase in population will still help your home price because it will make your fat suburban land parcel look even more exclusive. Everybody wins something.
In the preface to Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein mentions Ramsey in the sentence immediately before the one in which he mentions Sraffa.
Much of your value is in the underlying cost of land. More permissive development rules would increase the value of your land, because it would be possible for a developer to buy it and build more units of housing on it.
It's the distinction between the building and the land. Buildings usually depreciate over time, but the land appreciates. In the bay area, the value of the land is significantly more than the building which is why so many people tear down houses and rebuild. Where land is cheaper people don't tear down and rebuild houses that have more life in them when they buy a house.

Residences are mainly exempted from depreciation, but commercial real estate is allowed to be depreciated because buildings do have a useful life.

Pity it crashes for me 100% of the time when opening on an older iPhone. Haven't been able to receive my messages for over 2 months - which is insane for a messaging app (I'm not even sure if I'll receive the messages if/when they ever fix it).

This is despite me contacting support and sending the crash logs to them when it happened.

As much as I'd love to support Signal and switch everything from WhatsApp - it doesn't seem like a wise choice if this kind of thing is a possibility.
In my experience it will invariably be placed deeper into the network, that is at least into network core of the ISP, which typically isn't anywhere near the edge router placed in some wonderfully expensive colo space associated with some IXP.

> You can derive most things about as fast and more usefully than you can remember it. Except maybe a couple identities per area. But these will tend to be beautiful enough you will run over the derivation just for pleasure from time to time.

To derive things, you need to have memorized a basic set of theorems. As you go deeper and deeper, the "stack" gets bigger. If you only memorize the very basics, there's a good chance you will not be able to derive the deeper stuff whenever you need it.

If you are in second semester measure theory and you haven't ingrained a lot of the first semester of real analysis in your head, you likely will do poorly. Quick: When is a closed set not compact? If you do analysis a lot, you can easily answer this question. However, if you do it only occasionally, not knowing this will limit you (or even worse, and common, believing that all closed sets are compact).

I used to be in the camp of "Memorization sucks - just solve enough problems and it will stick". Its only recently that I'm realizing I was wrong. Everyone will have things stick if they do enough problems, but also everyone will have a different capacity for how much sticks. You'll hit your peak eventually by just solving problems, and a better memory will take you further beyond that small peak. Once you realize how effective SRS can be, you don't want to be limited by a poor memory.

> With enacs I find if it is not in my muscle memory it doesn’t matter if I consciously know about a feature. I can think “there must be some way of doing this” and then googling it and finding it as fast as I can stop my work

Often when reading the org mode manual I'll come across something that makes me say "Oh wow, I wish I knew this keybinding" and then would promise to remember it or look it up when needed. It's depressing how often I've said that about the same keybinding. Now that I use SRS, this phenomenon still occurs, but at less than half the frequency it used to.

Although to be frank, I now use hydra on Emacs often, so it's not as common for me to memorize keybindings.

> Especially now with everything changing so quickly I find paying attention to the deep constraints and reserving the possible solutions from those conditions is more effective than trying to memorize a bunch of library or platform specific capabilities.

Emacs is timeless :-) I will be using it for probably as long as I can use a computer.

But yes, I would be selective on what to put in SRS. Reviewing takes very little time, but creating new entries is time consuming. It needs to be worth it in the long run.
I have a feeling that self-driving will be one of those things that everyone will be opted into. Self-driving becomes much easier if everyone is playing by the same ground rules (with either the same set of cars or a common protocol through which cars communicate). Trying to engineer away the entire problem space of driving seems intractable (think: you have to engineer for drunk drivers doing damn well nearly anything on the road)

If cattle ranchers know there there is a public good for having wolves, yet they argue against them, I'm saying that position is a conflict of interest between them and the public good. They will almost always choose their own self interest.

Voting? Well, people often vote against their own self interest, but it is hoped (by me, at least) that people will vote for their self interest, within reason. That reason is that you aren't voting for something that benefits your group more than another group. That would be a bad use of self-interested voting. A good use would be voting for "medicare for all" because you think it will benefit you and others.
Can you give defintions for "a benefit" and "value" such that your statement is not self-contradicting? Those look like synonyms to me. And to the law, for that matter: there's nothing that requires a business contract be exchanged with money alone.

It (most likely) works like this: the device request the context directly to the edge server (several strategies available to accomplish this: you can ask a master server for the content who issues a redirect to the edge server, Apple could use a single name server and route via DNS, they could use a single name and IP and route via BGP, etc). The edge server, which is the terminating end in the TLS protocol, is aware of the content being requested. Now the edge server can determine if that content is available or not locally and server it back to the user or request it from the origin server first and then back to the user.
You probably have to be pretty specific with what an 'immaterial' experience or phenomenon is to engage in that discussion. My perspective on most things that would traditionally invoke classic immateriality is that they're probably emergent behavior of complex system interactions which recur down to something material.
> Can I use Signal from desktop only?

Yes, the desktop client functions independently from the phone client once linked (so not like whatsapp that proxies everything through your phone).

> Can I create an account from desktop?

Technically yes, but you either need to compile the desktop client yourself[0] and miss some features or use something like signal-cli[1] to act as the main client. So it's not supported (yet?).

> Is my account independent of any specific device?

The first client that registers acts as the main client, so no. But it might get easier to restore access on a different device without using backups with the secure value recovery[2] stuff they are working on.

> Can I use Signal on multiple computers at the same time with correct credentials?

It's possible to link and use several desktop clients at the same time.

> Two weeks of camping is an effective insomnia treatment

Or two weeks away from the grind reduces stress. Or getting away from artificial lights/schedules reduces stress. Or it selects for people+times with less stressed. Or more healthy. Or higher SES. Or you're getting away from pollution. Or you need temperature variation to feel healthy. Or any two of those. Or three! Many plausible explanatory factors compete with RF, and you'd have to control for them in order to point the finger at RF. That's not impossible, and not even particularly difficult, but it does mean that you can't go on a camping trip, get better sleep, and then use that as proof that RF was to blame for your insomnia.

> People figure out how to sex chickens without a causative mechanism. It isn’t a placebo effect or a double blind trial.

The double blind trial is how you establish whether or not something is a placebo.

Which one(s)?

> reducing your exposure to RF at zero cost

Foregoing the advantages of technology is not zero cost. If you mean that turning your router off at night is zero cost, go ahead! I don't take issue with that.

I do take issue with spreading unblinded anecdata, because whether or not RF-induced-insomnia is real, RF-anxiety-induced-insomnia is definitely real, and anecdata like your own definetly spread it. If RF-induced-insomnia is real, that's for the best, but if what you experienced was a placebo (and I'd bet a substantial sum of money that it was), then unblinded anecdata literally are the problem. And that's not cool.

In the privacy of your own home: do what works and ignore the haters!

It's not impervious to bad weather, but pretty resilient. I'd say in the 2 years we've had ours the system has shut off maybe 3-4 times due to one of: a) very low and direct sun angle, b) very heavy rain, c) dense fog. Which, to be fair, are all difficult conditions for a human to drive in as well.

But I agree with the parent, the suite of driver assistance features is very good, but a long way from "self driving".

The strongest version of "Out of Africa" or "Recent African origin of modern humans" is "Modern man developed in Africa, and then spread throughout the world, essentially unchanged, completely eliminating other archaic hominids". Given known interbreeding with other hominids, this is clearly false, or at best incomplete to the point of being misleading.

This is in contrast to a "Multiregional origin of modern humans", which still has "expanding from Africa" first, but far before modern man developed, followed by evolution and development everywhere without modern features coming from Africa "all at once". This too is clearly false and misleading. There were large migrations from Africa with large genetic distances from the native hominid populations, and the resulting mixture appears to be much closer to African than the native hominids.

The modern synthesis is multiple waves of expansion out of Africa and significant gene flow making the tree look more like a river delta: lots of forking but also lots of merging, though not to the point of an undifferentiated sea either. The exact details are constantly being reevaluated as more genetic data is acquired. This is significantly different from the strong Out-of-Africa hypothesis, but claims there have weakened to include essentially this picture. The difference between the two point of views is a matter of scale at this point: how strong are the waves out of Africa, how much was displacement vs interbreeding, how much do genes flow in patterns besides out-from-Africa, how much is one giant expansion a reasonable approximation, etc.

I'm not saying parent endorsed tribalism, but that his reasoning is the result of tribalism. Using reason and objectivity is what most people call "science" and people who engage in it are "scientists". Confusing scientists with reporters is a silly mistake to make, and I think parent is able to do so because of our monkey brain induced cognitive dissonance.
You need a phone to create an account and register the desktop app but then you can then use it completely separately from the phone, even when the phone is not online. You can link multiple desktop apps to one account/phone (afaik).
It's not, once linked the desktop client can be used independently of your phone.

You definitely get into feedback loops. And if "everyone" is saying self-driving is right around the corner you also begin to doubt your own skepticism especially if you think others should be in a better position to know the reality than you are.

To your first point, I agree there was something of a big game of topper going on for a while. If anyone came out and said that they weren't going to have production self-driving for 10 years (much less 20 or 30). A lot of people, including on boards like this, would nod their heads sadly about how far behind $COMPANY was compared to a certain other car company that was already supposedly selling self-driving-capable vehicles.
A little bit like how some people aggressively brake in front of Tesla drivers

There are two kinds of ISPs:

The first kind is the ones that Apple wants - they are the likes of Comcast/Optimum/etc. There are the ISPs that have lots of eyeballs and have captive audience. If Apple has shitty connectivity to them, it is going to be bad for Apple ( because consumer cannot replace such ISP - there's no real competition in those markets ). These are also ISPs that happen to peg their transit PNIs or free peering PNIs as much as possible forcing others to to buy paid peering to have non-shitty connectivity to them. These ISPs are going to charge Apple for colo, power and bandwidth and Apple is going to pay and it is going to pay through the nose ( just like Netflix does and just like Akamai does )

The other set of ISPs are the ones that want Apple a lot more than Apple wants them. There's no way Apple will pay for access to their customers. Those ISPs are going to give Apple space, power and even bandwidth for free. Hell, they may even have to pay Apple.

Source: did that for both ISP side and content provider side (at different times)
My recommendation is that never update only clean install. I never had any problem with macOS.
I'd settle for suburban development not being required (through maximum density zoning laws) or subsidized (through disproportionate spending on suburban infrastructure).
One could halt immigration--or at least the kind of immigration that most anti-immigration people complain about--in a naive and oversimplified fashion by raising the minimum hourly wage of noncitizen permanent residents to the median annual household income divided by 2000 (~$32/h), raising the minimum hourly wage for temporary residents with a work-permitting visa to 125% of that (~$40/h), and raising the minimum wage of persons without any official immigration status to 150% (~$48/h) of that. In order to get a job that pays less, a person would have to show their visa, residency card, or proof of citizenship. For jobs that pay more, who cares, as long as they support local business and pay taxes?

Don't deport anybody. Don't build a wall. Just make any businesses that hire at lower wages, without first verifying citizenship or immigration status, pay the workers all their back wages.

The economics shape and are shaped by human behavior.

Mac Pros not being MacBooks is an interesting point. A wide range of products leads to a spectrum of quality. Die-hard fans may be the ones in the high-price/-reliability quadrant, but maybe 5x more are attracted by the lower-price/-reliability quadrant. I suspect that MacBook was in the starter quadrant, and the actual professionals are in the other.

Sometimes things even shift in a single product over time: establish a good reputation, then water down the product a couple years later. All the die-hards leave, and the rest are none the wiser.

IMO $6k is just too much for a Mac Pro, except if it rocked a 3990X (do it, Mr. Apple!). It might actually be worth the money, even still. Apple seems to support Mac Pro OS upgrades for ~10 years after release.
> This is what you think upvotes mean

Not all upvotes, but specifically writing things for the sake of avoiding downvotes or getting upvotes. If you write things mainly because you predict people will agree with you (and thus, at least not downvote), then I feel that's not going to make for particularly good discourse. I'm still mainly talking about downvotes here, I don't think the problems should be solved by changing the behaviour of upvotes.

> none of the behaviors you describe are using upvotes to identify posts that add value

Yes, because I'm concerned about the bad outcomes of what can be described as an economy based on avoiding unexplained downvotes.

> It does? How does this square with the extremely negative portrayal you gave of the behavior required to get a karma cushion, which I quoted above?

It squares with it just fine, but you have again misunderstood the point I am making, that other people seem to have understood just fine.

Consider making an effort to interpret what I've said in the ways that make sense, rather than searching for ways to interpret it that make it sound inconsistent.

P.S. you are yourself and not anyone else, so don't try to say what other people think, as though you know it for a fact.

I mostly get my news from paywalled sites, which I find less pushy on their own biases than Vox and Fox and other free sites. The bias is never completely gone, but it seems that sites that don't have to compete for social media shares are better incentivized to find the truth instead of creating it.
