That's kinda why I have taken up traditional film photography recently as a hobby, instead of just playing video games. Most of the video games I would be interested in playing would lean more towards the intellectual type games like Factorio, but yeah it those felt enough like work. I'd get bored playing more mindless games like GTA5 after a few hours, after the thrill of the graphics and open world gameplay died down. Photography has put my mind into a entirely different space, and challenged me in different ways than I'm used too.
I don't think it's weird to use absl flags, I think it would be weird to import absl to support some other flags library, and not use absl flags.

I'm not sure how Google wins this one because it seems like an easy comeback is "well why don't you just be transparent and tell everybody that information". Ultimately, as long as they have anything resembling "secret sauce" they will be in the cross hairs of regulators for unfair treatment (even if just alleged, not proven), and the minute they don't they will lose their competitive advantage.

Perhaps the worst thing seems to me that it prospectively constrains what kinds of algorithms they can actually apply to things they can tell people about. So all kinds of approaches with poor explainability (say, deep learning) will get put aside for things that are empirically worse (more biased, unfair, less equitable, etc.) but compliant with the law because Google can "explain them" to people.
Different newspaper editor. That was the Thomas Cooper case. Benjamin Franklin Bache was also a newspaper editor who was arrested for seditiously slandering president Washington (and also Adams).
The google drive OSX client is surprisingly lack luster, as it’s merely mounted like a pseudo drive rather than even meeting the standard Dropbox met years ago. Given that they won’t write a decent OSX client, I’m unsurprised they haven’t followed through on their promises to an even less popular OS.
I’m desperate at this point to move from my middle of nowhere socal “city” of <100k people to an actual city now that prices are falling and I can work remote. My goal is to get it all sorted by November.

My only activities right now are eating out and walking, so cities are actually still very appealing - lots of places to walk to and lots of restaurant options. And some day, maybe 8 or 9 months from now, I might even be able to go to a museum. I love museums and most cities seem to be full of them.
Re. languages: The issue with the Plover type stenography is that it heavily relies on a dictionary. If a dictionary does not exist for your language, it becomes close to useless.

Many European languages use a form of orthographic stenography instead. This is perhaps a tiny bit less efficient, but makes up for it with flexibility in spades.

I started working on a computer implementation of that, but sadly life got in the way. If there was any project I could be paid to continue work on, I would want it to be this. https://github.com/kqr/qweyboard/

Still, the teachers aren't slaves. They can pursue a better pay.

The siege of Paris and the Paris Commune comes to mind. The single minded revulsion that rich Europeans felt towards the commune certainly implies that something bad happened to rich Parisians during that time.

Oh, and the common phrase in the rich quarters is rumored to have been “Better Bismarck than Blanqui”, indicating that rich Parisians would rather see France lose the war than have a political foe control the city, which reinforces my suspicions.

To be efficient with nuclear, though, you need steam buffers... nuclear power can’t stop burning fuel once it starts, so unless unless you are spending all the power as you generate it, you need to store it. Burn a unit of fuel, store all the steam, and then don’t put more fuel in the reactor until the steam level goes below a threshold, then repeat.

This is especially true because you want to have a group of four reactors together for maximum efficiency, which generates a crazy amount of power. You spend more time not generating more heat and just living off the steam storage than you do burning fuel.
One of the most important bands of all time regarding where they took song-writing as well.

I never owned an MPC but I own a Tempest drum machine, which Roger Linn designed the interface for. It's probably the most capable drum machine ever made, if you have the time to figure it all out. I've owned it for years and I'm still discovering new features.

I do own a Maschine, and it's pretty much all I could ever ask for from an MPC. Except I wish I could pitch shift different slices.

Then upgrade their compilers, it's not as big a jump as c++11 was. It's not bleeding edge.

The only legitimate case I've seen for C++ <17 is if you need to compile on MacOS <= 10.13 for shipping 32 bit binaries on Mac, where C++17 features are experimental in XCode (but I haven't had an issue with compatibility in C++17 supported compilers).

CentOS and Debian shipping ancient GCC versions isn't an excuse, it's trivial to update.

> Now, they simply buy our teachers out from under those of us who can't afford to pay 25K per child.

So, the teachers should be stuck with lower pay because you care about wealth inequality? Why would this specific teacher should be the one who gets punished?

I'm sure there are many other examples to make the same point.

This teacher example is a bad one.
Data vaults on macOS are intended to prevent apps running under they same unprivileged user from accessing files that belong to another app.

Eg, if there is a file/directory that only safari is meant to have access to, no other app should be able to read it, without at least bringing up one of the annoying “allow X to access your Y”. For example, the first time you, say, feel your home directory you’ll get a bunch of TCC requests asking if the host app (Terminal.app say) should be allowed to access those files.

Steely Dan is quite a lot more than just a rock band. It was more like a pop band with formidable song-writing. Both founders were very well versed in the tradition of Jazz and the harmonic development that you can find on a ton of steely dan's songs is way, way beyond what you'll find on traditional rock legend bands (Beatles, Zeppelin, etc.)
yep, the citations don't lead anywhere

Yes; I've been using Dropbox with btrfs on Arch Linux for a month or two now. According to the Arch wiki[1], Dropbox added support back for ZFS, ecryptfs, XFS, and btrfs a little over a year ago (around seven months after they initially dropped support for everything other than ext4 on Linux). That being said, I had been using Nextcloud on a DigitalOcean droplet for a couple years before that, and I never had any issues with it. The only reason I switched back to Dropbox was that Google announced earlier this year they were getting rid of Google Play Music, and I had a bunch of music uploaded from CDs on there that I wanted to back up, and I would have ended up needing to pay more per month for the storage on a DigitalOcean instance to fit all the music than the $10/month that Dropbox charges for 2 TB.

What happened after the revolution was not pretty [1].

What followed made Karl Marx write the "The Class of Struggles" [2]

Excerpt from the wiki:
"The industrial bourgeoisie still occupied a comparatively privileged position within society and government and this fact, Marx argues, placed them in essentially the main camp as the financial bourgeoisie"

You see the same pattern emerged.

Note: I do not subscribe to the communist ideology but the fact someone notable had observed the class struggles means common people might have felt more-or-less the same as lot of poor or middle class people today.

Education is not, in fact, a fundamental right; at least not in the sense that you mean it. There's nothing wrong with people getting education without the help of the government. It's not like freedom of speech, fair trials, voting -- rights that have no meaning without the government's involvement.
16 years ago, a man named Eric Sink decided to document the process of creating, marketing and selling a small piece of software he had always wanted to build, "Winnable Solitaire" which is, as you describe, always solvable.

His series of articles coined the term "Micro-ISV" which was a once-common term for a small software company with approximately one employee. A category that is now covered under "Indie" developers.

Here's the article that started it:

https://ericsink.com/entries/Announcing_Winnable_Solit.html

(He didn't end up selling many copies, but we all learned a lot on the journey, it was very interesting at the time.)
That would be NewsCorp. I really hope your comment is a joke.

That I agree with. Missing a few months at the tail end of the year is disruptive, but missing 9+ months is seriously disruptive and you're right, parents that can afford to pay a tutor can bridge the gap, but lower income families are going to be permanently disadvantaged.

Rightly so. This is a shakedown by Murdoch
how deep does the support go? can i load an existing squeak/cuis/pharo? image? or is it only code compatible in that i can copy code from supported languages?

as a squeak or cuis user do i see any difference on the interface or is it all under the hood with additional APIs available that i can access from my code?
depending on what you mean by "cross-platform", rclone might fit the bill.

> You trust us with your data and our job is to keep it safe. Under this law, Google has to tell news media businesses “how they can gain access” to data about your use of our products.

This corpspeak wording seems very broad. I wonder what Australia is gunning at here, if they are really asking Google/FB to share user insights about users visiting these news sites, that doesn't sit well with me as an user.
Agreed. I'm in a touring electronic band and I don't use my Maschine live. I find it absolutely essential for certain in-studio things, like tapping out drum beats or doing interesting sample splitting. But I'd rather use my DJ controller (Xone K2) or an Ableton Push live, as it's deeply integrated into the DAW that you're using. There's just nothing better.
Death Valley is an underrated park. It's an amazing place to visit in the winter, when it's more pleasant / cooler.
Why is this being downvoted, it's precisely correct. Our government is entirely transparent about how heavily influenced it is by its industry "partners". Murdoch (NewsCorp/Fox) has been dictating policy to the Liberal Party for a long time.

In reality, most landlords will sooner tell you to walk and hold an empty apartment for a year than balk on rent.
> Would you say those middle class parents have “unfair access” as well?

Speaking as one of them, yes. What's unfair is that good schools are only afforded to the middle class and up.
There is nothing wrong with what they are doing -- it's not a crime. A system that would pursue them for it -- that would be frighteningly unjust.
I don't want even less types in my code though; I don't want Python on Arduino, I want Rust: https://github.com/avr-rust/ruduino

Not too far north of Death Valley is Mono Lake.

You go there and the lake looks... concentrated.

I recall reading something Mark Twain wrote about it:

"The lake is two hundred feet deep, and its sluggish waters are so strong with alkali that if you only dip the most hopelessly soiled garment into them once or twice, and wring it out, it will be found as clean as if it had been through the ablest of washerwomen’s hands."

It's good, but... do you remember the "stay inside" articles that were coming out in March and April? The ones that explained that responsible people need to find some indoor hobbies, stay there, and only open the door when the Instacart guy comes with food or the Amazon guy comes with craft supplies? I get the same kind of feeling here. Sure, rich billionaires have a lifestyle that largely insulates them from the effects of the pandemic - but so do Vanity Fair reporters, so I don't know where they found this high horse to get on about it.

Hardware jobs generally pay less than SWE, you'll lose even further on the monetary aspect.
Actually, it's more like the court reporter is the official witness. They are attesting to what happened in the courtroom. The actual instrument that the reporter uses is much less important. And trials have the audio recorded anyway.

I know that when my uncle started in the early 90s, there were still some court reporters that used shorthand with pencil and paper. I don't think there is a requirement that they use a steno machine. Their job isn't to record what happened, their job is to generate a single authoritative transcript that everyone works from. In theory, they could probably not take notes at all, and just work from the recording later, but it is probably easier to take the first round of notes live.

When a court reporter generates a transcript, they sometimes have to go back through the audio recordings sometimes and actually clarify in the official transcript exactly what was said. They have to make it clear in the transcript if people were talking over each other, or to try to clarify what exactly was said if it might be ambiguous.

I think it is a good idea for a trial to have an official record that has been processed by a human, instead of just throwing a recording up and calling it a day.

Think of how inefficient it would be otherwise, where all of the parties would essentially have to act as their own court reporters and generate their own transcripts.

What if different parties disagreed with the interpretation of the transcripts? Perhaps the court would then have to appoint a neutral expert to make an authoritative determination of what was said; and we've now re-invented the court-reporter role.

I think there is a tendency for people to look at this only as a technical problem to be solved. Like with voting, it isn't just a matter of securely tallying votes, there is much more to it. The process requires maximizing transparency and minimizing room for anyone to contest it.

In my area in LA the only drops that I've seen are management companies offering a month or so free, to keep up base rent at full price. Maybe smaller landlords are dropping prices, but it's hard to see much of a trend.
