Personal work goes into a sync folder organized by year.

References are organized by media type, then by general subject, then (usually) by author. I mark up filenames with tags so that I have some options for tracking down stuff with file search.

When I want to collect references for a project they get copied out.

What I've noticed is that the organization ought to reflect the mind, and the mind doesn't run on Internet Time. You probably aren't a professional librarian archiving the whole world's knowledge, but rather a person who is using curation to say "this is what I like" and create a quick-access space for self-exploration. If you go too general in your organizational patterns, if you archive too much or archive unseen works, you won't use it. You might as well run off to a search engine in that case. So it has to be more of a gradual-phases accumulation.

The most recent change is that I started copying more, because I'm aiming not to data-hoard and with current capacities it's hard to fill up the drive with references without falling into hoarding.
I am starting to appreciate Zuckerberg more than I thought I would be. I think his mild autism helps him to cut through all the politics and hysterics. I won't be surprised if deep down he believes in a much more classic liberal values like many of his peers who are too afraid to speak up because of the leftist mob in silicon valley.

You had the right instinct---what he's describing is done by X-Plane, but X-Plane started as an aerodynamics sim tool that became a flight simulator, so they had to swallow the hard-part elephant before getting to the game part of it.

(On the other hand, someone should note that maybe both our instincts are flawed, because you could also see the X-Plane story and say "Why can't he do it? It's been done before!" ;) )
I think you could solve the problem by pushing the "turbo" button on the computer case that would reduce your cpu frequency to something like 8 mhz.
Diversity at our company has an explicit definition. It means women, plus latino and blacks of any gender (including mixed race with a parent of such a background). That is probably not what people think of as diversity in a broad sense, but it is likely what most universities and corporations mean. And black here does not mean African-American, it means someone with African ancestry.
The $5 billion figure in the article is the cost of spraying the atmosphere, creating a new virus every year would be way cheaper (I am not saying it would be a good idea). But, as it has happened with this virus, reducing sunlight would have huge effects in all economic sectors. Agriculture is the most obvious one, but tourism for example would be very affected too, real state markets may radically change, solar power would be much less efficient... It may be much less or much more than 8-16% GDP, I do not know (specially in an hypothetical scenario in which climate change may already be devastating), but for sure it would not be free.
Once dynamic range is lost by rendering something on a phone screen or computer monitor, you can't recover it without making the image look weird and artificial. It's like mixing 24-bit audio for playback through an 8-bit DAC. You can play all sorts of games with dynamic range expansion, but at the end of the day you've done a bad thing.

Then there's the fact that a lot of problems people try to solve with HDR are actually gamma correction issues.

The US seems to have a fairly adversarial, legislative rules-based relationship between policing and people's rights to justice, if that makes any sense. This is just speaking as a layman observing from outside. (Contrast with other countries. There are many places which achieve even less control of their police, or the police serve corrupt interests, but there are also countries which seem to have more public consent and less excessive force).

So, the USA - the bill of rights, search warrants, Miranda rights. It's not exactly policing by consent, it's more like an understanding that the police will go to any lengths they feel necessary, so there need to be hard rules that completely invalidate the case against someone if breached.

I guess the same model can continue to be refined through the democratic process. Technology can play a part. One can imagine future laws that impose strict rules about body cams (e.g. that absence of a recording implies innocence, or that 'lost' footage carries a presumption of guilt in police brutality allegations). Ubiquitous surveillance, not to say it's a good thing, but if it's happening anyway, it should be useful in preventing excessive force by police too. Laws could be passed specifically enabling (and preventing treatment as a crime) various technological forms of monitoring of law enforcement by the public.

> What do you smart (non-cynical) internet people think?

I don't know how one would start to rip up American policing and produce a kindly institution that was accepted universally by the community. No-one can be that non-cynical. But I guess I'm non-cynical in thinking that there's still some mileage in democracy and the rule of law, and progress might still be made via the normal channels. Of which, by the way, protesting is a part.
It’s viewed as unethical to some because when you flip the script, it’s: “charge rich people more simply cause they’re rich”. Which isn’t a good argument, but it’s what I’ve heard.

You don't have to compile it yourself. You just do the same thing you would do with windows: keep old versions of the OS around and run them in a VM. (Running them in a container is also potentially an option which is not available on Windows) In some cases the old packages for library dependencies are still available too. For example see here for the packages from old debian versions: https://www.debian.org/distrib/archive

Recompiling is just another option you have in case nothing else works, and it's an option that you do not have on windows. If you really REALLY don't want to recompile then I would suggest you start mirroring some of those old distros/packages yourself so that you can guarantee they will remain available to you. It would probably be prudent to keep the source packages around as well just in case you need them.
when I first lost insurance, I asked my local (rite aid) pharmacy about the generic price of what I was taking hoping to buy 90 days worth - they quoted me ~$10/pill (one per day).

I can order it from aliexpress for ~$0.24/pill, and from alibaba for ~0.002/pill (in powdered form). since it's a fairly common chemical that was patented in 1957, and is listed by wikipedia as costing between $0.01/pill and 0.04/pill wholesale, I really started to question the prices.

of course, now my insurance pays for it, and marks it at ~$1/pill in their "invoice".

still, somehow the math doesn't add up. no cvs near me to compare to, but Walgreens was similar prices. it really feels like a scam, but who can you really complain to? I'm in no way sympathetic of for-profit health insurance companies, but I have to hope that someone can push legislation to help curtail this.

of course, this is just one point of anecdata, but looking at similar costs of things like omeprazole over time seem to corroborate these findings.
Most people cite liability as the main reason but I also haven't seen any algorithm that reads chest radiographs better than radiologists. To be fair, rads look at images, correlate with the patient chart and symptoms, and that info is not provided to the algorithms. But also, humans need only one or two examples of a weird diagnosis to find it again and that still can't be tackled by one-shot/few shot learning algorithms (yet!).

Wedding photography is like sports photography meets candid portrait session crossed with real estate photography, fine art, food shots, and cat wrangling. So you have my utmost respect for taking that beast on, and I'll grant that you need the best gear you can get, whatever that may be.

I think it's really a tradeoff for everyone's unique situation. You're being paid to show up in a setting you don't get to choose, and the client expects blow-it-up-for-grandma quality photos. So you're going to use the best possible gear you can, regardless of cost, weight, or bulk to compensate for the aspects you can't control.

As you say - being in a studio means strobes, which means I don't have much choice but to use a real camera. But when I do (ugh) social media content, or one of those ubiquitous photos of an employee hard at work for the background of the About Us page, I'll often switch to my phone because it gives me a comprehensive toolbox of photo and videography tools that are high enough quality for the intended destination.

And I'll also admit that whenever I do anything intended for print I shoot it in the studio with a DSLR and edit it down to the last pixel. Old habits die hard.
Part of this is that VCs as you describe. It doesn't matter if a democratic social media company is more sustainable than Facebook when Facebook receives a half a billion dollars in VC funding to patch up its problems.

Anecdotally, I hear that Ford's biggest problem right now is the union's resistance in adopting the Toyota production system. If I were a factory worker, I wouldn't want to change the way I do things just so the shareholders get richer. That's a perfectly reasonable attitude to have, but it does place Ford at a disadvantage to car makers without unions like Tesla and Toyota.

Is there a chance for chat instead of video call? I like the idea but I'm not exposing myself in video. I know it "ruins" the experience but each one to its own.
Sure thing.

The video and voice chat is powered by WebRTC. The getUserMedia API allows a browser to access the webcam and microphone of the device. I used my own simple-peer (https://github.com/feross/simple-peer) library to make WebRTC a bit easier to work with.

The server is Node.js. I'm using Next.js for the first time on this project. I usually use a custom Express server for my projects. I'm a fan of several of Next.js's decisions -- it feels really nice to use, if a bit limiting sometimes.

I use the 'ws' package (https://github.com/websockets/ws) to implement a WebSocket server which is used to help the peers get connected over WebRTC. Once peers are connected, all video and video is transferred directly in a peer-to-peer fashion.

Except sometimes the connection can't be established, so to improve reliability of WebRTC you need to set up a TURN relay server for those situations. I used coturn (https://github.com/coturn/coturn) for that.

Lastly, I used Chakra UI (https://chakra-ui.com/) as my React component library.

Really happy with how the easy the app has been to build.

The most difficult part was getting it to work on Safari for iOS. I spent about 50% of the effort working around various bugs in the Safari media stack. https://twitter.com/feross/status/1263544033135038464

Hope this was informative!
Your hate speech is ok. Theirs is bad. Got it.
>bizarre because it's so stupid. Normally, police don't beat journalists because they're conscious that if you force the media to side with the protesters, it's pretty much all downhill from thereon in. Once the media has a narrative, politicians will start picking up on it for political capital, and then it's only a matter of time before low and mid-level police start getting thrown under the bus

This was all going on from day one of the reportedly "peaceful" protests. I've watched multiple anchors on CNN and MSNBC discuss "peaceful" protests against backdrops of live rioting/burning/looting.

The police need some degree of reformation but journalists chose a side at least as early as 2016. This is what happens when activist journalism is completely normalized. Police are humans too. You can only expect them to take so much targeted abuse before they target those who are amplifying threatening voices.

What are the common refrain on every single stream after the sun goes down? "FUCK 12". People openly threatening to murder police. All night long. These are the people journalists are defending. These are the agitators that the police have to deal with. Where are news reports of protesters throwing rocks at riot police? Multiple incidents of people throwing artillery shells (fireworks) into police crowds?

You shouldn't trust the media any more than you trust the current administration.
> Unlike many comments here and on other websites it's not hysterical, or hyperbolic or contaminated with self-referential post-modernist bullshit.

Yoast has an incredibly feature-rich free version and is very easy to use for content creators. Focus-keywords, schema markup, meta title and description lengths and so much more. They've also recently extended the plugin so you can access a post's metadata really easy when querying the WP REST API (or GraphQL API), this comes in handy when using WP as a headless CMS. I don't know of a comparable solution for React or Vue but I would be glad to hear about it.

I do not think we should make people who spread hate feel comfortable spreading that hate. The president is unequivocally spreading hate and inciting violence. He should not be able to do that when doing that is against the TOS of the site he is doing it on. Said another way, why does he get to incite violence on twitter, yet I do not?

There is a distinct difference between expressing a political view, such as that we should have the government spend less money, and inciting random citizens to commit violent acts against a perceived enemy.
Not really sure. I've an FT subscription and often post articles, but I try to do a search and find an alternate link - quite a bit of FT content is syndicated fairly quickly to non-paywalled sites. A few days ago, an FT article that I'd posted and then searched for showed up with the OCLC domain. I've been trying to figure out how it all works, but have failed. If you try to hit "baldwinlib.idm.oclc.org", you get a login page.

Would also like to know more about this - seems likely that many publications are archived via oclc.

Edit to add: Just been comparing ft.com with https://www-ft-com.baldwinlib.idm.oclc.org/ and, at the moment, at least, the content seems to be largely in synch. I daresay that someone will close the loophole soon.
You are explicitly permitted to do this by the law without being classified as a publisher.
The problem is you need capital to begin with, and the median American barely has enough on hand to cover an emergency, nevermind build significant investments.

Many of us might be fortunate to have well paid jobs, and the ability and capital to invest, but it's understandable how someone could view the ability of those with capital to generate further capital without any labour to be unfair.

Most likely because of batteries. He doesn’t have volume to build his own battery factories, but buying in small quantities makes his cars expensive. Now if car you are trying to sell is more expensive than Model X or Cybertruck, customers naturally would ask “Why?”

Phone books existed long before the internet.

I feel old writing this, but once a upon a time, phone-book companies (often the phone company, but not always) would deliver a phone book to every address with a phone. This was paid for almost-entirely by the advertising sold by the phone-book company.

If a company or person wasn't in the phone book, they pretty much didn't exist.

All of this has happened before, all of it will happen again.

I wish , every company has their own app to use , they will invite you to their conference by default, asking 10 people on the call to change for 1-2 is not feasible.

Many of them cannot install any new native application on their desktop / phone without IT approvals or their vpn does not allow traffic to consumer apps like Hangouts . They also need to record for compliance , pre-Covid some apps like Webex are connected to their conference room bridges using dedicated lines and hardware etc

Family / friends do not use use biz tools , it not easier to convince Apple users who like FaceTime, messenger is popular in few countries , wechat in China , WhatsApp in other places .

It is easier install another app rather than trying to get your grandma to switch from one thing someone installed on her phone and she learnt to use.

Does Rust code ends with minimalistic wasm? I was astonished to see how nice C code compiles into wasm. It was absolutely minimal, no extra unnecessary stuff (at least for some examples I tried). I definitely would use C for wasm generation, but I did not try Rust. I would really hate to see something like pulling half of standard library for some innocent code resulting in tens or even hundreds of kilobytes of wasm bytecode.

First, the rules are different in commerce than they are for private property.

Second, some entities are so big they constitute a public good, even if they are not recognized as such. If Google Search started to openly promote one side of politics and not the other, the regulations would hit hare and fast.

Third, this idea of 'populism' is a little warped. People agree or disagree with the nature of the protests to varying extent. Don't assume that the press and those writing letters to FB, or definitely FB employees themselves, are in any way representative of anything.

Fourth, it's in the company's interest to try to remain 'neutral in whatever terms that might mean.

Finally - it's in everyone's interest for said platforms to have consistent, objectively applied, and hopefully independently monitored criteria and operations for managing what they take down and not. Zuck should not be involved in any of the day to day operations, and should not be commenting on any specific situation or post.
I’ve always thought anxiety is simply from different patterns of thought than people without anxiety. We can all share thoughts and fears but people with anxiety have a pattern that results in an unpleasant experience. Maybe one suffering anxiety should analyze different approaches to how one arrives at an outlook and compare to their own for maybe adapting. I’m writing with ignorance because I’ve never had bad anxiety.
I don’t remember police launching tear gas into peaceful crowds back then, nor do I remember police breaking windows, assaulting press, or vandalizing storefronts then either. I wonder why police would want to discredit protests that occur in response to their murders.
> Is it not true that most cops are OK too? I'm honestly asking. Yes there are some problem cops - Chauvin obviously having a long history of issues. But are we really saying that the majority of cops are bad actors?

judge for yourself - the 3 randomly selected cops from Minneapolis PD were clearly aware of what was happening and were just watching as business as usual when a sadistic psychopath (just watch the video and listen to the Chauvin's tone of voice for example) was slowly and torturously executing a human being. What those 3 tell you about the cops en masse?

>a long history of issues

It is pretty typical - while many cops would usually not commit severe abuse/crimes/etc. at their own will, they would do nothing to stop, prevent, help to prosecute the "bad apples" cops. Basically it is a police union's, the Fraternal Order of Police's, version of omerta. And that makes them at least accessories to all those crimes.

That is a surprise - of all the IoT devices I've owned Dyson's products have been the most rock solid and polished. Their mobile apps (on iOS at least) have been absolutely flawless, never requiring me to sign in again and again or having connectivity issues with WiFi. Their appliances also don't seem to do any funny stuff over DNS unlike some of the flakier stuff I've owned (one of which was making 20k DNS requests a day to a non-existent diagnostic server address on the local subnet).

I didn't write I don't like it, mostly think being more neutral and removing political statements might be better.

As for the Police, that was one guy. What percentage of cops kill innocent people, vs. save you from the bad guys (I was saved by cops twice, for instance). Also looks like the guy is going to be held at a higher standard and will get a harsh punishment. Is looting and burning down stores that in many cases represent people's life savings the correct way to solve the problem?

As you see, we could be talking about your chat, and we're talking about violence and depressing things like a store owner saving money for 20 years only to see it burn down by Antifa.
