I actually find this article really sad. Super happy that the person was able to get to a healthy weight, but their relationship with food still sounds unhealthy. No snacks. Put down your cutlery between bites. Reward yourself for being “good.” Constant mind games to not feel hungry.

There is so much shame and restriction that I would personally find it very hard to sustain this diet. Food should make you feel good. If you get a little hungry and want a snack, then have a little snack! It doesn’t have to be potato chips and chocolate bars.

The author is berating himself for trying too many things at a Thai buffet. I just want to tell the author that he doesn’t have to be ashamed. It’s okay to try new things and have fun with food. Your catalyst for a life change may have been shame, but you don’t have to keep tearing yourself down constantly. Do things because you wanna feel healthy, live a long life.

My dream was always to have an office shed in my backyward until I decided to build one earlier this year before the pandemic. It turned out pretty good and it took me around three months to build it. Its hard work for sure but I couldn't be happier.

We can also ask the alternative question which is never asked:

- what other mechanisms can server the same utility as advertising for businesses?

- what other mechanisms can support viable business models.

What is strange about advertising is that it enjoys a bizzare outsized role in determining social norms that is never questioned. Sure, businesses need to advertise their services and goods but at the cost of even destroying privacy? I find it strange.
If I have Finder and Pages open (or any program, it's not relevant), I CMD-tab from Finder to Pages, then when I CMD-tab to go back to Finder, it doesn't pop up. I have to manually go to the Dock and reopen Finder. Finder restarts back to the home directory (my default start point). Of course, I would probably be in wherever the original document is. This doesn't happen all the time, but maybe 75% of the time.

Unless you’ve mastered one of those tools, it’s impossible to match the fluidity of thought to text or visualization that a standard whiteboard provides you.

iOS is a competitor to Xbox in gaming. Apple sells games in the App Store and they have their own game subscription service, Apple Arcade. Should Microsoft be forced to allow Stadia or Steam Link on Xbox? Must Sony Allow xCloud on PlayStation? Of course not. Just because you can do more than play games on your iPhone doesn’t mean that Apple has some obligation to bolster their competition by allowing them on their platform.
Silicon Valley's data collection should worry most US citizens more than TikTok's, yes, totally, 100% agree, break them all up, ban all that crap, burn it all down, yes, I am with you.

... but one hopes data collection concerns aren't the real reasons for going after TikTok, but instead that it's part of tit-for-tat action aimed at getting China to accept and enact more aspects of the bargain for joining the global free-market economy, rather than just the parts that help it. They've chosen "defect" for like 2.5 decades, which I'm pretty sure was basically expected to happen back when they were allowed to join the club, but had better not be tolerated indefinitely.

> I’m fully aware that the company is to blame and not necessarily atlassian though

The problem is that this anecdote is not even remotely surprising. I've used JIRA and/or Confluence at three employers and all three had wildly different, and awful, configurations. I have never worked with any technical folks who loved either, although I think on the whole Confluence is slightly better than JIRA.

I thought the same thing for a long time - that Atlassian makes decent products that are often implemented poorly - but the problem is, at what point does it become Atlassian's fault for making products that seem so easy to implement so badly that developers will go out of their way to track work in Excel instead of JIRA?
cost of living in cities has been rising at an insane rate over the last decade, a large part of it is tech salaries. I know a ton of software engineers who only live in cities b/c that's where the jobs are. Places outside of cities also offer a lot of (different) enjoyable things to do.

Presumably big companies moving jobs away from cities will have some impact.

It is all speculation until we have real hard numbers. It's easy to argue in both directions.

People believed all kinds of conspiracies when I was a kid. And people still do. The only difference is that it's more visible now. In the pre-WWW days you'd only hear it if you were in the room with them. Now you can see it even if they said it days ago.

Carl Sagan wrote The Demon Haunted World in the 90's, and it is mostly about exactly this: Whereas science had made tremendous progress in his life, the attitudes and crazy beliefs people have had not shifted much. The whole book is a lament about this, and a certain amount of bitterness on this being the case despite him spending most of his life promoting science.

Probably the only real thing that has changed is the role and type of media people consume. In the 80's if a whole bunch of people believed something that was clearly wrong, and were geographically spread out, they didn't have an easy means to make that an issue for elections. You would need to form a lobby group which takes time and money. The newspapers usually did not entertain them.

Now you don't need newspapers and news channels to get your message out. You have Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, etc. The cost to organize and spread your message is much lower. So tiny fringe groups have the potential to be much more influential. The politicians can now exploit that.

I think the problem is user fees for a system that is supposedly funded by the entirety of society so we can ensure fair process. If you have to pay for literally nothing, it rankles. Instead, the system should just be funded by taxes like (most of) the courts themselves. Perhaps there could be user fees for extremely high usage, but $10 seems like an extremely low bar for $0.08 per page. The system as it exists appears to simply discourage the public from getting too nosy in the workings of the courts.
Until now it hasn’t been cost effective to develop internal sources for these supplies.

I'm not sure this is equivalent to Gödel's theorem. Actually, I'm not sure this is a correct proof of anything at all, merely a sort-of demonstration of Richard's paradox.

First, for reference, let me quote First Incompleteness Theorem: "Any consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; i.e., there are statements of the language of F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F." (from Wikipedia)

Now back to your post.

Obviously, f' is not in T and it is not computable. But neither is T. It is incomputable merely by being the list of computable functions, which we cannot construct because of halting problem and stuff like that.

And your definition of f' relies on having T. So we don't in fact have seen "statement f'". So, the direct connection between Gödel's theorem and your construct is not obvious to me, because first is about constructable, but unprovable statements, and second seems to be a faulty (i.e. mathematically uninterpretable) construct itself.
I picked Vue because I didn't care for JSX. Vue and React seem very similar conceptually but I don't have a ton of experience with React. I think they're both good choices. Vue has gained a lot of traction with Laravel developers which might influence your choice if you decide to use PHP and or Laravel.

I’m never sure if it’s actually core JIRA that is bad or if the problem is how customizable the thing is. It seems like every organization has added a bunch of custom fields and required bits that make it so annoying to use.
>but because the world is ambiguous and language reflects that.

This doesn't seem like a very satisfying explanation. Take one particular example of a structurally ambiguous sentence of English:

"The company couldn't make the car fast enough".

The two meanings are completely distinct (speed of production vs. speed of the car). There's no fuzziness about this distinction out there in the world. The speed at which a car travels and the speed at which it's made are two completely distinct properties.
I saw everything this search engine has to offer, all looks good except their 'Ethical Ads'. What does that even mean?

I believe they had to have some internal consistencies and they couldn’t just fabricate all of it.

So future contracts projected into the figures at present had to stay at that point in time in case they materialize later. That led to sharp decline after the numbers for one term was finalized.
I've never worked for/with a company that used Jira that didn't change the way you were supposed to use Jira every six to eight months or with any leadership changes at the project management or TPM level. Also I've never worked with two Jira setups that were the same.

I'd rather use a tool that is flexible by default than use a rigid tool that you need to change every six months.

Ah ok. So the question is more ‘does WebRTC need the complexity’. I think so, reliable transport is pretty useless without backpressure.

So here are the recent projects I have worked with that need the complexity.

* Teleoperation - Robot control went over reliable stream. Metadata goes over lossless stream, we don’t care about sensor readings 3 seconds ago.

* File Transfer - If you send too fast you will cause complete loss. You also need to measure constantly since link quality will fluctuate.

* Large Image Transfer - SCTP also handles breaking up messages to fit MTU. If you just send UDP Datagram you need to probe how big of packers you can actually send.

* Unreliable Large Image Transfer - If you don’t care if an image arrives and you lose packet 1 you shouldn’t send the rest of the Datagram. This was big for a project, saved a lot of bandwidth making sure we didn’t complete corrupted messages.
> Would WeChat or TikTok exist if western chat and social media apps were given total access to Chinese markets???

WeChat caters to the needs of Chinese users. As far as I know, WeChat invented integration of payments in messaging apps and Western apps like Messenger and iMessage copied that. I don't think the Western apps have QR payments, which is very important to Chinese. And I don't think a Western app would have come up with the group hongbao exchange feature.

TikTok doesn't have a surviving American equivalent so, yes. Definitely it would exist.
Nice try, China /sarcasm
That's a wonderful way of putting it.
Adam Levine mentioned this a few days ago in his column, when reporting on the Big Tech deposition. Bezos basically keeps expanding the definition of 'market' until he basically says Amazon can't be a monopoly since 99% of all sales in America don't go through Amazon, at which point there can never be a monopoly!
If the fees were reasonable, fine. But I remember getting charged "8 cents" a page for search results, even for queries that yielded no results. The "No Results Found" page... 8 cents.

Reminds me of the pre-internet days, when online access was charged by the minute. You'd better be damned sure you knew exactly what you were looking for before you connected to CompuServe, The Source, Delphi, or whatever.

I think today, people don't grok what a miracle it is that in many circumstances they can just aimlessly "surf" the internet and not get any incremental charges.
This looks really neat! Can anyone shine a light on what makes this different/better than Basecamp (other than being custom built for the way Automattic works, which is obviously a selling point for them). My understanding is that Basecamp does a lot of these things, although it’s not self-hosted.
I tried ... I hadn’t used a Lisp before and writing Clojure felt like some kind of mind masturbation. Everything was just sooo much more elegant. Having said that it’s awful for data work since it has close to no supported libraries you might be used to in the python eco system.

Do it just to learn a Lisp ; there is something magical there.
The threat in the US is not from the government, it is from the private sector. The issue is not what Google wants to do using access to your personal data (sell ads), it is what Google's customers (not users) want to do with access to your personal data.

Government is supposed to keep the private sector honest, so to speak. With weak government, and a private sector with single entities that have more data about citizens than government, the risk is arguably greater.

There are reasonable limits placed on government in the US, but those limits do not apply to the private sector.

Comparisons of China to the US make some sense when based on size, but if ignoring size, comparing the US to China on the issue of digital privacy and propaganda seems strange assuming one is trying to illustrate that the US is some sort of high benchmark. It is arguable there are other countries where citizens are enjoying greater digital privacy and more freedom from propaganda than in the US. It would seem to make more sense to compare the US to those countries.

My father had a computer store that sold Taiwanese desktop clones and Toshiba laptops in the late 80s. The article says that Toshiba were manufacturing laptops from 1985. I'm pretty sure we were selling them in 1987 so I didn't realise quite how close to the start we were. They were very good laptops at the time - their only real competitor was the Compaq laptop range and I'd argue that the Toshibas were better, although I'm obviously biased.

Just looking now at wikipedia, I'm sure that we sold the T1000 [1] and T1200 [2] but I'm not sure if we ever sold the T1100 [3] (their first model). We also sold the T3100 [4] which had a gas plasma screen that was quite a wondrous thing at the time. It was also very expensive. They were mostly bought by higher level executives as a status symbol. My father kept one for personal use too.

It was a very profitable business to be in at the time - margins were high, unlike the razor-thin margins of today. But my dad didn't capitalise on it as well as he should have. He overpaid his sales staff when they really weren't having to make much of an effort to sell such a hot item. And he didn't pay enough attention to the accounts so that when the recession of the early 90s arrived and government departments stopped buying he hit a cashflow problem and the company went bust. But there were a few good years before that and I still remember the Toshiba laptops of that time quite fondly.

China did manage such a turnaround, though. Of course, they had the contemporaneous USSR collapse to point to as well as maoism in living memory, so that probably made it more politically possible.

Google's dragonfly would allow it to operate in China. It didn't because of domestic pressure, not the Chinese government. There used to have a huge debate of that here on Hackernews. It would not be fair to say that China banned Google for protectionism reasons. At least for China, the government have a standard, a list of censorship requirement to follow. There are things a company can do to operate in China. While here now at the US, it's protectionism that targeted a specific company without doubt. I'd hardly call that the rule of law, would you?
