Grave of the Fireflies I'm calling the most sad anime ever. It is indeed a wonderful movie. I had a friend say "oh have you ever seen that really depressing anime?" and I immediately said "Grave of the Fireflies?" Nailed it!
Yeah, I'm reminded of the bystander effect and diffusion of responsibility. Then there's also the phenomenon of lynchings, which I believe are still a big problem in some countries.

An excerpt from Part 2 of “Unreported Truths” – a brief history of lockdowns
I exclusively used smart playlists for my ipod nano (for date reference :), I pray that one day these smart folders appear on win/osx as a low level. Like smart symbolic links. Surely it cant be that hard!
When you steam milk for latte the volume almost doubles so that probably 9 -10 oz milk, still not insignificant but not 20oz.
You can create a screenshots folder and default all of the screenshots straight into it. That’s been a lifesaver for me.
Lattes aren't defined by that specific recipe served at Starbucks.
Ha, can we add fast-comments as a component? :)
Dragon Naturally Speaking ran on clients without network access in the 90s.
A given household might have 20,000 words spoken in a day. With speech to text, then compression, this would be a 20kb network request. If you only sent data once a month the data/day could likely be reduced even further. This could easily be Trojan-horsed alongside valid requests without anyone noticing.

Breathing is a little harder with a respro mask, but it doesn't impede me by much on a bike. The filter is pretty large so the airflow is good and in has valves for breathing out. What kind of mask are you wearing in the supermarket? The Respro mask is a lot more like a N95 mask a contractor would wear while handling heavy tools than a surgical mask.
Huh, Oatly tastes really close to dairy milk to me, but some of the other oat milks I've tried are fairly bad. There's a huge variance. I don't think "syrupy" is a way I'd describe any of them, though, except perhaps the higher fat barista blends?
It turns out that oat "milk", even without oil added, has a lot of carbohydrates, some in the form of natural sugar.
Ping Pong the animation is a fantastic, series about.. leadership, I guess?

It's short enough that you can watch it in an afternoon as an extremely long movie if you'd like (assuming you skip most of the intro and outro/credit sequences, which add a few minutes to each episode).
double click the edge of a window to expand it to the edge of the screen. hold alt while double clicking to get the opposite edge to also expand.
Yeah I saw that, it's neat. I've never really been into hacking. I'm more interested in the interfacing aspect like what frequency, antenna design, what do you do just blast it... are there "ports"? Etc... but yeah the concept of a space-born computer is neat.

Thanks for the links, will check them out
Every time you do a screen recordin with quicktime, encode it to h264 to save a LOT of space and make it playable on any device.

To do that use Handbrake, whick is open source and the go-to app for any encoding.
Sounds like most non urban areas should be discouraged.
It does have to traverse the complete filesystem to calculate the sizes. That is how most filesystems work (files have sizes, folders do not - so a folder size doesn't exist and is just a sum of whatever it contains)
> As a result, all mustard oil in the US is labeled "for external use only"

Huh, same in the UK too - I wondered why on earth it would say that on a bottle of mustard oil, now I know!
In the abstract, this reminds me of the selfish ledger concept video, where they discussed pushing specific products on relevant customers in order to fill gaps in data collection.

_Idiocracy_ of course. Most prescient movie ever.

And maybe the ridiculous Jesse Eisenberg movie I saw last night, _Vivarium_. It changed my opinion on how reasonably good actors can do horrible movies, obviously not for the money because there isn't going to be any.

Yes, whilst normal life goes on now in NZ, they're stuck there and one of the main industries tourism is almost completely shuttered -- I think the fatigue will be economic.
I did, but I think that’s an English language issue. Apparently, by “keep windows down” they have meant “keep them shut down”. Completely counter-intuitive to me, vast majority of car windows move the other way, down to open, up to close.
CMD + UP to up one dir in finder. Maybe I've got messed up settings or something, I don't know, but when I want to go up a folder I don't see a button or a an item called ".." that can be clicked. Did this drive anyone else nuts?
> Trust your gut. The scientific reason for why it’s telling you that will be explained later

Usually that's good advice :-)

In other cases, some people got bullied as children or grew up with a weird parent, and because of that feel in their gut, their intuition tells them,

that no one likes them, and they better stay at home and avoid people. Then, trusting one's gut or intuition, can damage a whole life.

What you call "the guts" and intuition and feelings, can learn the wrong things, during childhood. Can be good to apply some logical reasoning, and also talk with other people if it's something important
I haven't really coded for love, but (partly) by love.

At different points in time:

- I have developed things that I imagined them using

- I have developed things they would see (but were not the only target. e.g. a website, or a tool that would be used by the team we were both part of)

- I have developed things as part of an activity they were also part of (e.g. a tool used in the same association)

Each time, it provides very powerful motivation to make things right, easy to use, beautiful, or straight up keep on working on things.

In any case, the code was not specifically targeted for these people.

This also can works for friends, family and other people you love, even if it's not Love. For instance, my last project was meant to watch series with my sister while we were at a different location [1]. I don't recommend using it though, I've since discovered [2], which probably does a better job for this and works in the same way.

Try to imagine people you love using your stuff while you are building them. It helps motivate getting things right and to keep going, at least for me. But it worked and allowed us to have good laughs.

If you talk to Norwegians about Norwegians, you'll discover that we're very good at patting ourselves on the back. You might say that we're one of the best countries in the world when it comes to patting ourselves on the back.
That documentary completely changed my outlook of life as well.

I was a somewhat lost teenager when I saw it, who saw no value in working hard for something and at the same time was terrified of living a life that was irrelevant in the big picture.

After watching it, it somehow all clicked for me. Both the pride and pleasure that can be taken out of perfecting a craft, and the idea that even the most apparently irrelevant aspect of life can be perfected and improved.

I am not exaggerating if I say that without watching it I might not have got my shit together in time to be who I am now.

Just sharing a small trick I use. Helped me keep the app size reeeally small. 300+ images and so many features into a ~6mb download thanks to this trick =)
This has been around for a long time but most people don’t know about it:

Dragging and dropping files from the finder into an file selector window (ie. Open File in most programs) will navigate to that file and select it. As others mentioned this works in terminal as well to give you a path, but actually this generally works in any text box (unless it specifically handles paths being drag ‘n dropped). This also works with multiple files / multi file selection, and in the case of inserting the path as text, they are space delimited and auto quoted (convenient for shell use).

Edit: This icon can include the one at the top of a finder window (the window title). That’s actually interactable and can be dragged and dropped for the directory itself.
First, the Last Starfighter. My mom said this was the first movie I stayed awake for the entire time as a toddler, and while I don't remember seeing it in a theater, I think this made me instantly interested in everything computers and space, and I eventually became a rocket scientist (kinda). Yay!

Network - It was made a long time ago, but it's really about Facebook. Watch it.

Requiem for a dream - I'll never forget this movie, ever. This will make you want to quit all your drugs.

Hearts of Darkness (A Filmmaker's Apocalypse) - This is the making of Apocalypse Now, and it's amazing. It's so much more than a documentary about how to make a movie, it's about life, movie making, and youtube, long before it existed.

Wargames - still relevant about how technology could destroy us. I feel like this is the Ferris Bueller's Day Off for Hackers.

And lastly, who could forget, Hackers.
Wow, I use these all the time in VSCode but didn’t realize it wasn’t specific to that application. This works especially well when combined with multi-cursor selection: place whatever 10 cursors for 10 sets of like information, Option-Shift-Arrow to select multiple like-code blocks by word.

This experience alone was enough to convince me it was time to learn vim.
When my gf and I met she had recently started her Phd in environmental sustainability science and was specifically looking into the fishing quota system in Iceland with mathematical modeling in mind.

The catch, haul and other related data is available on the relevant government agency's webpage down to ship granularity level through a rather nice web interface. It however contains vast amounts of data, and there is no way to get the data in bulk form (even asking the agency resulted in a 'No this is sensitive data that we can't share in bulk form' answer).

So I was rather shocked when I heard her say that she had started copying the data by hand. Knowing that it would take her ages, and would probably never be possible for her to do, I wrote a small python scraper & data transforming tool and set about scraping couple of GiBs of data into a normalized sqlite database, which I then gave her to use with her R code.

We have been together ever since (4+ years).
Diesel is pretty bad, but a modern gas engine after warming up with leaner fuel mix and catalytic converter heated up has pretty tame emissions.
My favourite hidden function: Pressing space after Shift-Cmd-4 toggles window mode. In window mode, only the window you select will be captured.
Increase Finder window size by dragging (in home directory), then press Cmd + Shift + E to make Finder open new windows with the new size. Works until a reboot. Why? Because those stupid windows are too small by default.
That game is really good! I'm not a gamer but I really enjoyed it. Took me a minute to figure it out but then I had fun.

Is the source open?
I think it should be more like the post office or public transit, where a nominal fee is charged (or none at all) but that fee is not the primary source of funding. Small fees are very effective at limiting the human tendency to abuse anything offered at $0. I agree that the current fees are higher than is necessary to prevent abuse - and I think it should be free to taxpayers.

I wish I liked Wall-E more.

The last time I watched it, I felt like there was a narrative disconnect about midway through the movie where the primary plot just changes. (One is Wall-E's relationship with EVE, the other is the saving of humanity.) It's not that I can't deal with both plots being in the movie, but it seemed to me that there was kind of an overt switch between them, and it really brought me out of my enjoyment.

Maybe I'll give it another go sometime, though. There's a lot of great stuff in there! I just wish it all flowed better for me.

I might sound like a grumpy old granddad to some of you (and I am not even that old), but did you really think that a huge company would offer to put microphones into your living room for your advantage? They are going to benefit from this and you are going to pay for it. How? For instance with dynamic pricing. Your loved ones tell you how much they want that vacation on that Greek island? Good luck finding a cheap flight. You are sharing your Netflix subscription? Sorry, but not while that person is in the same room. You are applying to that exciting position? Nah, with that statement we heard on your dinner table, we think you are a cultural bad fit for our team.
alcohol increase aggressiveness and self indulgence, not directly truthfulness, and it's sad to see frat boy culture getting glorified on shaky psychological myths.
Calculating “death rate” with a denominator of “recovered people” is simply lying with data: of all of the covid metrics, “recovered people” is the least well reported.

Of the millions and millions of people who have now had this virus and recovered without incident, only a small fraction have seen the inside of a medical facility. Only a tiny fraction of those have had “recovery” reported, and even when it is reported, it generally lags by months. The only reason you would divide “deaths” by that number is to mislead people and scare them.

The overall IFR for this virus is somewhere around 0.1-0.6%. That is the actual chance a person will die if they catch it. For healthy people under the age of ~50, divide that by ten (at least).
- Ctrl + Cmd + Shift + 4 will let you take a screenshot of a region of your screen and copy it to the clipboard. It can then be pasted directly into most applications, from email clients to chat clients. No random screenshots sitting around. If you want to capture a whole window, press Space after the initial shortcut, then click the window.

- While a menu is open, hold Option; if you're lucky, you'll get some additional options. This works after right-clicking an item in Finder, for example, or after right-clicking an icon in the Dock.

- Magnet for window management. This is a third-party application, but you'll wonder how you lived without it. If you've used Spectacle, Magnet is similar, but I find Magnet to be a bit more graceful.

- Sidecar and AirPlay. Want a second screen? Got an iPad or Apple TV? You can effortless treat it as a second screen with very low latency. It "just works."

- Cmd + Space to open Spotlight. Most power users are already familiar with this; if you're not, try it.

- Cmd + Shift + G in Finder to go to a folder by path. You can also use it to copy the path to the current folder.

- Return/Enter to rename the currently-selected file in Finder. If you're coming from Windows/Linux and are accustomed to pressing F2, you might not know about this one.

- Similarly, to open the currently selected item in Finder, press Cmd + O. To navigate up a directory, press Cmd + Up.

- Ever installed a new drive in your Mac? You don't need to manually download macOS installation media beforehand; with the right key combination at boot, you can install it via the internet. There are a few different related combinations with differing functionality; it's worth looking them up and choosing the right one for your situation: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201255
As a DJ, I use Smart Playlist very heavily in iTunes. I genre tag all my music as it comes in, and then let the logic take over from there.

There would be no outbreak if farmers didn't use animal manure to fertilize their vegetable crops. That's the real source of salmonella.
> we are losing control.

No. We are taking the expected action to prevent a loss of control. A small variation in infection rates is inevitable and the smaller the rate the greater the visibility of the variation.

I agree though that a few people do seem to have decided that there is no longer any need to worry, luckily I only see them in the pages of the newspapers. In my daily life and weekend shopping trips, including visits to cafés, I haven't seen any noteworthy carelessness. This is in the area surrounding Drammen, Asker, Fornebu.
Would be great with better builtins for this. I use yabai and skhd, but have to disable SIP to utilize fully. The instant spaces switching with no animation is so good!
For India, it started back in March. It seems it was quite strict, there are youtube videos of violators getting beaten by the police (which may just have been isolated incidents).

This can all be overcome. Australia quarantines everyone coming in, with only few exceptions based on compassionate reasons and under strict controls.

Yes it dual boots, I have one. The issue is that only last week they got the modem to work under Linux and there are still many open issues. I wish they opened their development including Android as there are issues that the community could fix much faster.

As for use cause. I don't know. Nice to have a keyboard but I'm carrying two phones around now which is kind of stupid. The front display it total garbage, slow ui and useless.

Their next model seems more practical as the screen is on the outside allowing use without having to fold open the keyboard which is kind of annoying on the gemini.
I was able to use software that I installed without a problem for years, but now Gatekeeper makes installing software from outside of the Mac App Store a chore for little to no gain.
A really cool prject in that space is/was datafun. http://www.rntz.net/datafun/

Roughly: the way facts work in Datalog and similar stuff have pretty strong monotonicity properties. So if you want to allow adding more predicates and computations to the system, you kinda wanna only allow monotonic functions! This has some pretty interesting surprises when it comes to how to model things like true or false!
You can add blank spaces on the dock using:

defaults write http://com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'

Very useful for organizing icons.
It’s the little stuff like this that is just so frustrating that we can’t do this better on all platform. macOS has similar sets of flaws, it just does it better than the others. I just wish we could have a few years without new above ground features and more cleaning up quality and consistency of UI/UX features. I’d take more of that on any platform.
I for one always reach for a piece of cheese when I've had a stressful day, it really takes the edge off.
The privilege is that you have so few real problems that this is something you have time to worry about. The millions of people you talk about couldn't care less since they have immediate non-hypothetical problems to focus on.

One of my exes has a name that is very close to the word “the.” Her name has embarrassingly showed up, capitalized and everything, in way too many conversations. Apple has permanently turned me into that guy that can’t stop talking about his ex.
I agree. It's great to see that there are different paths a user can take towards being satisfied.

If I remember correctly, once you hold the key you can also use the number underneath to select the character (as in "long press e, press 2"). I've since disabled that long-hold thing because this allows me faster text repetition (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... in all its glorious uselessness), but I am glad Apple thought about the UX for different types of users there.
For folks who act a lot differently while inebriated, the accepted belief (way back when) was that alcohol changed their personality. I figured out that the alcohol released the suppression on those personality traits. In my case, it made me quiet (for once).

History: Drinker from 8-24. Quit because I started feeling sick from it. That's my history w/ intoxicants in general.

Sidebar: I don't care if someone's buzzed. It's just a state, like being tired or caffeinated. However, it seems common for drinkers to have a moment of embarrassment around non-drinkers but I kind of wish they didn't.
Probably because you signed up for or bought something else and it was a deal. Either that or they made a mistake. Google aren't in the practice of just sending free hardware to people for no reason so I'm not sure what your point is?
You are biased. Not all billionaires exclude competition. Being a CEO doesn’t mean that you should be thrown in jail. You also assume that the average person or group of average persons controlling a company would be better. There isn’t any reason to assume that. History says that end result won’t be better.

For instance, someone or some group whose reason is blurred with anger and venom will do worse with such power. Instead of creating value, they will destroy it.

It is better to focus on creating fair conditions for competition and basic standards than dictating results of competition.
