I think you missed the point and as a consequence this comment is exactly the kind of advice the comics apply to. We need another panel with someone being stabbed repeatedly and a person advising them to "just stop catastrophizing" The point is that the situation is out of the person's control and is catastrophic. This is an assumption of the setup. This is distinct from the experience of the situation which is painful. Denial that the situation is out of the person's control and is not catastrophic is just handwaving it away, which is unsurprisingly not helpful.

> unless you’re literally falling off a cliff [...] it’s straight catastrophizing.

This is nonsense. There are plenty of examples of things that are horrible to experience and outside of the person's control and for them this kind of advice is absurd. For example, depression and mental illness. This goes for many kinds of physical illnesses as well. I suspect that may be where the author is coming from too. The implication of the comics is that the grave situation is actually real and actually uncontrollable which the sufferer actually knows as a fact.

> Why shouldn’t you focus on what you can control? Why not think warm thoughts about the people you love before you die?

The question is not whether they should but whether they can. There's no indication in the comics that the situations are not literally uncontrollable, only that the adviser is unaware of this fact.
I forget where I first saw the idea, but I have adopted it as my own: the really sane thing for the French revolutionaries to have done would have been to switch to a duodecimal ('dozenal') counting system, not to base things on ten (which is a really terrible number).
CD on windows concatenates space separated name parts with spaces to make names with spaces. So you can frequently CD to a filename with spaces without messing around with quotes.

Since CD only takes on argument there is no reason why a shell like bash couldn't support that too.
Oh I didn't know that, I haven't bought a Mac recently.

It's been like this since the earliest days of the metal PowerBooks. Though the un-grounded duckheads appeared only with the later models (the "hockey puck" power supply always had grounding and in fact always had an extension cord). In my house the living room sockets didn't have grounding (at that time it was only mandatory in "wet areas") so I noticed it even then.

It's mainly an issue because of the metal enclosure. On a plastic one you wouldn't notice. And it's not serious current, it's just some induction of the power transformer on the internal shielding.

But yeah I agree, even the duckheads should have proper grounding! The grounding is done through the ground 'pin' that the duckhead clips on to, so technically it should be able to get a third-party duckhead with all three pins. Though I never looked to see if they were available.
I used to think like you but then ran into problems at work where all the obvious solutions were things I already thought of and wouldn't work for different reasons. So when my partner at the time or my dad would try to help with solutions to a problem she couldn't completely grok that wouldn't actually help it just made me more frustrated. I just needed my partner to validate my frustration, be there for me to rant with the understanding that this wouldn't last forever but was a shitty moment to deal with...
Out of curiosity, what do you feel a competitive bug bounty would be for this type of report?

It would be interesting if security reporters had a habit of ending their reports with what they feel is the fair market rate.
> If it's a digital government then it would probably be using an identity based on built up history of actions and financial settlements and connections to other highly verified accounts.

Not sure if I understand this correctly. You mean, an account will be considered "genuine", if it had a long enough history of activity?
We have doctors telling us this mode of living is unhealthy. As parents, is our response going to be to try to veto that because it is a headache? I can handle getting sleepy an hour earlier. My kids are asleep by 9. Is it so much better for me to stay up until 11 watching tv or reading recreationally than sleep at 10?

This really isn’t much to do with school schedules, school is out hours before bedtime. Yes, it can be tight getting kids to bed after work/daycare but I’ve never adjusted that target bedtime based on DST. If I did I’d then have to get them in bed earlier when it ends.

As parents why can’t we just do in summer what we usually do in winter? Somehow we handle two changes to daylight a year but we cannot handle zero? I don’t buy it.
Yes; there's a listing [0] of violence committed during the protests since they started earlier in the year.

I think that the police will continue killing people until they are disbanded or restructured. History tells us that police in Chicago and NYC, for example, can be and have been the primary source of corruption and organized crime. Edit: Chicago's police ran a torture ring for years [2]; NYPD has earned a dedicated page for all of their corruption scandals and the most egregious misconduct [3].

Facebook isn't doing enough to curb police using social media to organize. I don't think that we're asking for censorship, so much as we're asking Facebook to stop implicitly supporting violence and hate. Compare and contrast the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, where Facebook admitted [1], after half a decade of implicitly backing the genocide, that they had been too slow to respond to the problem.

Edit: Downvoters, what are you exactly upset about? In addition to actually answering the parent's question and providing a listing of instances, I'm directly addressing their concerns and preserving the context of the original article. Please use your words.

The changes noted for future: loop counters as arguments, returning multiple arguments sound a bit like re-inventing the Forth VM, which does things this way. Might not hurt to review some papers in that sphere that may have walked this ground before. (?)

False dichotomy. No one is claiming that Apple shouldn’t be able to provide the option of limiting phones with parental controls to the main App Store if the parents set it up that way.
IDK about the 20 years claim, but he's definitely consistently said that full autonomy is just around the corner and that when you buy a new Tesla the hardware is already fit for full autonomy and just needs a software update with the algorithms to enable it... Both are bold claims and at least the first claim is consistently being proven wrong. I guess it creates more enthusiasm than "we are working on it", and saying that the hardware of a new Tesla is fit for autonomy means that fans buy a new one and not a second hand Tesla.

I think that given enough dedication and investment, it's certainly possible that we'll have fully autonomous cars one day, and it's likely that Tesla will be one of the first companies with such a car, but I'm just annoyed by their constant "it will be around in 6-12 months" that they repeat year after year.

A similar "programmer tendency" I struggle with that's also not great for relationships is inventing counterexamples. It's a very powerful tool of reasoning - for a candidate solution/idea, you quickly come up with some corner cases and use them to fix the idea or abort it and search for a better one. But in relationships, it leads to exchanges like:

- Her: You know, maybe let's start doing X to improve Y?

- Me: Yeah, that's a good idea! But let's also talk about handling Z because without it, X will lead to less Y.

- Her: [confused] Why do you hate my ideas?

- Me: [confused] What? I just said I think the idea is great, it just needs a bit more consideration.

And then she's sad, and I'm confused, and X never happens. Despite trying to phrase my counterexamples in a very constructive way (instead of how we do it in industry: "but Z!"), they're being perceived as a rejection.

After couple of such I've finally learned to keep track of the corner cases in my head, accept the idea without the mentioning it, and only then, over time, bring up the counterexamples so that it's clear these are new problems to be solved, and not a rejection.
Hard to take this comment seriously in a country where about 50% have access to the internet, very likely 100% of influential people have access to the internet, and very likely 100% of people are 1 degree of separation from someone who has access to the internet.
People accept the $10/$1000 situation all the time: it's often called "working on commission". Maybe I need to refresh my game theory, but I wouldn't call that a negative sum game, but a positive sum (+$1010) one, and refusing still leaves everyone in the status quo (+$0/+$0).

My recollection of a negative sum game is that the overall outcome is negative. For instance, paying $10 (to get access to the car park) to cause $1000 worth of damage (slashing tyres).

(I'm having difficulty imagining someone spending $1000 to make someone else worse off by $10, but can easily imagine a vindictive someone spending $1000 to make a much poorer someone else worse off by only $500.)
Exactly. Sometimes the catastrophe is real. And is difficult for outsiders to understand the magnitude of it.

The ECMAScript 4 standard was on the right track: evolve a standard and a liberally-licensed reference implementation in a language with high-quality formal semantics. Ambiguities in the textual standard should be resolved by looking at the reference implementation. Contradictions between the text and the reference implementation should be regarded as bugs in the standard.

People complained the ES 4 was too much, too quickly, but I think we're slowly getting something equally complex, but less cohesive and more ad-hoc.

How Positive Reframing Can Change Your Life
You're incorrectly generalizing from yourself to most people. Most people think in local time and would continue to do so regardless of whatever you attempt to do to impose something else on them.

Also, think of how deleterious the abolition of local time would have on communication. Right now I can say something like "I received an urgent call at 3am" and you know immediately what that means. But if I said "I received an urgent call at 17:00Z", a lot of the meaning is lost. You'd have to know where I live, i.e. what my local time zone is, and then do some quick mental math to determine what actual time of day 17:00Z means for me. With local time, that calculation is already done for you! Local time is just too damn useful of a concept. It really truly is better than global time for most uses. Global time is really only useful for scheduling global meetings and computer stuff. Even within the US, all of our scheduling is done by US timezones.

First, calling them protestors is dishonest. At that point it had devolved into a violent riot. He ran away because an armed man was chasing him, and another with a skateboard.

Dell's Linux laptops are not custom made for linux (they even still have a Windows key!). They just swap out the wifi card.

I'm pretty sure Purism's are just standard barebones too, but with some extra modifications like hardware switches. They showed how they solder the wires to the motherboard - if they'd designed it themselves they wouldn't have to do that.

Pine64, indeed, that's true. The enclosure is standard (the PB Pro is the same as my Chinese "ChuWi" laptop :') ) but indeed they made a custom motherboard. I really like that company.

Disappointingly, the Indian Supreme Court is also lethargic and chooses to look at more trivial matters than give importance to things that could affect the freedom and political landscape for generations — examples are the Aadhaar petitions, cases against the electoral bonds and other matters not being heard for years. The court may actually find merit in holding this commenter in contempt for criticizing it, as if the judiciary is somehow sacred and beyond any criticism (anyone interested can search online for recent news on what the court is doing).

The effect of “absolute power corrupts absolutely” is seen in many corners!
Sort of like a credit score matched with landlords who vouch that you rented from them before. The longer that history the harder it is to fake and also the harder it is to just be the same person with multiple accounts. These systems usually have some component of a social graph where people will interact with and vouch for other people and having more and higher quality connections (more verified, connected to someone you know personally is real) gives you a higher legitimacy rating. It's usually up to the organization to set the minimum bar of how verified someone is to be considered unique.

A while ago I had a RAM stick fail. I noticed because GCC started segfaulting randomly and I haven't upgraded GCC recently. Sure enough a memtest revealed the fault.
I think it didn't have enough cooling.

I only purchased RAM with heatsinks since then, and I didn't have such problems anymore (also my latest case has much better airflow)
>and get up earlier anyway.

Yeah, no thanks. This isn't an easy task for many people. Some people just naturally find it easier to wake up and get going in the morning. But there is a significant portion of people where that just doesn't happen for them. I've tried many different methods to try to be a "morning person" but it's as if my body naturally doesn't. My SO is the exact same way, and was before I knew them.

I'm sure companies like Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, epic, Spotify, Google etc. etc. are perfectly capable of doing all of the above, Apple simply prohibits them from even writing in their apps "this is not the only way you could buy this app"
People should avoid giving advice to others suffering from mental health issues. It's reasonable to point that out and refer to a professional. That said,

Be more than words. If I am telling someone to seek professional advice, I would help them with the task in a meaningful way such as contributing financially, finding information for them, being their speaker or support for coming out to others. Ask them what they would need help with instead of guessing or provide options when they can't come up with something.

If you are close or live nearby, you can help with chores and food. Good food helps and it's easy to end up eating garbage when you are down.
This is a surprising blind spot for most large tech companies. I’m sure Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. spend a lot of money on their corporate networks but you’d think they have at least one engineer who encounters unreliable wireless on a regular basis.

You seem to think that getting ahead in life is important; that is, you feel a need to be seen as superior to other people. Similarly, you seem to value other people having a high opinion of you.

Your code profile boasts of over two decades of experience. Your repositories include a "showcase of [your] best work" and "specifications for better computing". It certainly sounds like you believe that you won't get far if you don't boast about what you've done, and additionally like you're inclined to describe yourself as achievative rather than eudaemonic; as somebody who has done many great things rather than somebody who is continually growing and learning.

The parent comment makes a good point. If accurate positioning is an issue it seems like you would want a closed loop control system that measures and optimizes for that. The position measurement itself could be made using machine vision or perhaps more precisely using lidar or some other technique. I've even wondered if that might allow you to build a less rigid and hence less expensive CNC mill.
The argumentation basically boils down to the fact that black induces too much contrast with other design elements. That's because those were not made with such context in mind.

If you look at the metro design language as used by Windows Phones[0] a few years back, this worked perfectly fine, was pleasant to use, and very gentle on phone batteries.

Saskatchewan cities are very far north, so sunrise is very late. Sask does not do time changes, they're on permanent DST.
I prefer the opposite, because of the reality that people are lazy. Increasing the timeout often leads to a programming habit where you just turn a blind eye to potential bottlenecks and/or cross your fingers and hope that the network will always be available.

Enforce short timeouts, preferably less than 3 seconds, and definitively no longer than you expect the user to have patience for, if the operation is part of an interactive workflow. Any task that has a legitimate reason to take longer gets pushed to a background process or cron job. This makes timeouts on the frontend a regular occurrence, so you'll be forced to handle them just like any other error condition. Result: a more robust program.

But this probably depends on what kind of program you're building. Most of the stuff I build and support are consumer-facing, so anything that isn't instantaneous is cause for concern. Other types of applications, though, might have more patient users.
