Childbirth will get you there in no time. My under 1 year old had to go to doctor 3 times for various normal infections from daycare in February this year and it cost $850, plus $80 for a state mandated lead test that I just got a bill for.

The point is $35k per year gives you no breathing room, and certainly doesn’t quality as comfortable. Even for single young people in great health, they can’t build any wealth and they will lose whatever they do get due to various health/auto/etc issues that come up.
It's true. This can only work for a little while, then all your hard work is gone forever. Your identity is hard-coded.

Anonymous is definitely Debby's dad, and Bills cousin. Other datasets indicate that Debby's dad and Bills cousin's name is John Johnson. Therefore, Anonymous is John Johnson.
Can you explain what you mean about module naming? I’ve done a good amount of Elixir, and I’m puzzled because I don’t know what you are referring to at all.

Most libraries and frameworks I’ve used enforce things on your modules via behaviors which have nothing to do with naming. Perhaps you are talking about naming functions for behaviors? Because I think it’s the same in most languages that “overridden” or “implementations” of functions for modules/classes that use some kind of interface must be named the same as the interface definition.
Makes me wonder if there could be a business model, type (maybe nonprofit?), or license that user data would be destroyed in case of a change of ownership. Or maybe even a time-limit on data, like how messengers have self-destruct options.

I should have been more clear. In terms of package management Manjaro has access to the AUR, but it's unsupported. Manjaro does not have access to official Arch repositories. Sorry, I should have said "based on Arch" not "based on the AUR." https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
This looks very ingesting. I’ll be giving it a go
First of all, I have experience with HFT, so I know what I'm talking about.

Second, your analogy doesn't make sense. HFT is only enabled as a byproduct of how electronic exchanges order their trades. They could just as easily bulk all orders by the second and then randomly order them to eliminate the benefit of, for example, building as close as possible to the exchange so you have a speed-of-light transit time benefit over your competitors.
Not every soldier is a bloodthirsty Blackwater mercenary. I think it takes more courage to put your life on the line for your country than to avoid putting your life on the line with some moral justification you've come up with. Not all wars are the same, obviously.

Perhaps I would respect the conscientious objector in the case of Afghanistan, but if there is a draft for WW3 and everything is on the line - our country, our freedom, I would respect the soldier who answers the call of duty more than someone who tries to get out of it (unless they just object to the killing part and still go as a medic)
I've been using emacs or vi for a long time.

emacs is my primary editor.

I used to use vi/vim more, because it is available just about everywhere and it's great for quickly editing a config file on a remote system.

But once I started using tramp, I now use emacs for all systems.

Tramp is a built-in way of editing files on remote systems using ssh as the transport. I can edit remote config files on dumb iot devices that don't run much more than busybox - with highlighting and undo and all the full-featured stuff.

open /ssh:foo:.profile to edit your profile on remote system foo.

You can also mix files - local and remote - all in different buffers. copy/paste between them, etc.

One thing he mentioned I haven't tried is LSP. anyone have any tips?
It's not really a weird thing because basically all of the Elixir/Phoenix core teams were big RoR contributors.
currently my main system in prod is a (very smart) stateless caching system, I don't have a database, but I will eventually spin up a (probably amazon) database, for the web gateway, when the keys to that are handed over to me. One of the nice things is that using elixir really puts you in the mindset of thinking hard about who should have responsibility for "the truth". No hiding behind objects backed by ORMs. State is pushed out as far as possible to the edge and I don't trust my server to keep state correctly. As soon as it's at risk of being inconsistent (netsplit, e.g.) the state-holders in the server are slaughtered, rebooted, and told to reconnect to the edge machines, which are trusted with the truth. The nice thing about elixir is that restart logic costs the the price of like 5-6 lines of code across the entire codebase (no worrying about cleaning up resources like tcp connections or anything).

Not in prod (personal project), I have a websocket-scraper on an aws free tier that's dropping data into a sqlite file, that I can transfer to my laptop for offline processing, so there are lots of interesting options.
Interestingly, all of the definitions are a little short of true equality, true equity, true fairness of outcomes, etc. since they only take one POV into account. For a precise example, they give causal discrimination for a classifier based on whether the classifier can tell apart two subjects with the same attributes. Note that, if no classifier can tell apart the subjects, then they are genuinely indistinguishable; the universe itself cannot casually discriminate between them either.

It's interesting that folks are slowly inching towards genuine algorithmic justice, but we are still focused on defining fairness from the POV of a single judge, and not from the entire integrated awareness of every participant in the community. I suppose that the latter is uncomputable...
I had to plop down $3100 on used MBP (needed that 32GB of ram) because company I contracted for sprung this as a term.

After a year, I finally heard an unofficial and unconfirmed explanation that the reason is to prevent parent company from hijacking their IT with their own Windows setup that is apparently "known bad".

Still, resulted in me having to deal with mac and finding pain points daily.
Where did you get the idea that conscientious objection was about disagreement with the government's evaluation of the benefits of the war? It's for people who think that it's wrong to kill, not people who think that the war won't be profitable.
I would argue they're extremely similar across successful emergent games.

The core feature of a playable, entertaining emergent game is a set of flexible gameplay rules, able to bend and tolerate the unexpected without breaking.

In the case of Tribes, there weren't any gameplay rules predicated on movement speed or height. Consequently, skiing only enriched gameplay. I would argue that EVE Online features the same style of emergent-tolerant rules.

In contrast would be something like Braid, where the available actions and rules, while seeming free, are in fact extremely rigid and intolerant of the unexpected.

Failed emergent games typically fail by innovating in their gameplay, but attempting to apply inflexible or overly-specific rules on top of that.
I hate that this same joke is made everytime the subject pops up

You're quoting two different things. The first is a green card equivalent, the second is a work permit.
Roguelite and roguelikes have one major difference though, roguelites have some sort of progression like items or experience levels that cumulate on your several playthroughs giving you new features.

Good examples of Roguelites would be Wizards of Legend, Flinthook or Moonlighter. To my understand (having not played), Noita would fall under a roguelike as the game resets after your death and you don't carry anything over to the next playthrough except for your newly accumulated wisdom of how you died and how to avoid that :)
Folklore, rumors, and gossip are all as old as spoken language. Just a few hundred years ago, educated people still thought there were witches and magical monsters. Only the medium for story telling has changed, but now with the added benefit of it being a little easier to fact-check if interested.

Things are definitely not worse like you're implying.
This comment is a good example of the attack of junk science from experts.

Why can't you give a baby a small amount of alcohol exactly? They might become alcoholics?

The alcohol helps them sleep. Which if you as a parent are falling apart is better than shaking them to sleep.

I think this is back to the intense pressure put onto parents through pop science.

"Woodward's Gripe Water contained 3.6% alcohol" So it's like giving them a teaspoon of mild beer.

Hi, This seems interesting. I am interested to know, How you approached the problem? Did you start building it right away when you feel there is a missing gap. Or you tried other solutions like slack channel etc to verify your hypothesis of people wanting to interact while listening to podcast.
I am sorry for asking you this question. I am trying to build products and I want to know How to test if the people are interested in the solution.
What an asinine comment. I guess if you're real programmer you'll program everything in brainfuck. Isn't not hard to fathom that some language designs are easier to express and easier to understand than others and still get the same things done. C++'s meta programming via templates is clearly a hack and was never designed to do what it's being abused to do.

I've reviewed erlang apps and I found them surprisingly easy to read, like really really clear. Perhaps it was the developers who did a good job, but I suspect it is the language. Sure some of the syntax is not super pretty, but I'd bet you would get used to it if you programmed in erlang more frequently.

Does anyone know of a way to enable keyboard control of menus on Touch Bar MacBooks?

There’s the keyboard preference which I have enabled, but it doesn’t behave the same as my non Touch Bar MacBook. I can keyboard-interact with confirmation dialogs on my 2012 MacBook to hit Ok or Cancel. On my 2019, I must use the trackpad or the Touch Bar. I’ve been googling for a fix or even a bug report but it’s a surprisingly hard thing to google for.
I agree with the comments about the technology and I also wonder if it has to do with how many people listen to podcasts—in the car, exercising, mowing the lawn—and not being active on a screen to comment. Maybe I'm wrong on this but I imagine many people listen this way. For example, I listened to one today while shooting hoops outside.

The true desktop subscriptions, where you lose access to the software after you stop paying, seem to all offer the traditional alternative (pay once for the current version).
>Deepfake whatever you want, it's still your face.

See part about the part about repudiation in my original comment.

Come to think of it, deepfaking your face onto someone else's body is probably the hard way. It's way easier to mutilate (ie. making subtle but plausible edits) a real nude of yourself so you can repudiate it later.

+1. Right to Repair is about not allowing artificial legal and technical restrictions on repairs, it's about providing necessary technical information, diagnostic software, and parts, but it has nothing do with the underlying difficulty of the repair.

Without Right to Repair, you won't get essential service manuals or schematics, the vendor can brick your device after you've replaced the battery via DRM, the vendor can refuse to provide replacement parts. With Right to Repair, you'll be able to get service manuals, schematics, replacement parts, and there won't be anti-repair DRM - which is why you should support Right to Repair legislations.

However, it has nothing to do on whether the repair should be technically easy. Under the Right to Repair, a device can still be so delicate that it would only ever be successfully repaired by a trained technician with 100 hours of experience with $1000 dollar rework equipment - if it's the case, your best hope is to find a repair shop with skilled technicians and adequate equipment, and maybe you'll get it fixed at a lower-than-official cost - which is certainly a possibility - but without your Right to Repair, even this possibility cannot exist.

If someone really wants to make something easier to repair by everyone (in other words, impose legal restrictions on how a device should be designed), you'll need a different set of regulations to address that. But at the present stage, I recommend to get your Right to Repair first, and understand what does it really mean - similar misunderstandings of Right to Right (= the vendor must make repair easy for everyone) has already been used in many strawman arguments by its opponents in the industry, using excuses such as safety, portability or costs, and in reality none of them really applies.

This is an interesting question. What is the point at which it's cheaper to get horizontal in hotels (and save money by living with parents) versus renting an apartment? Let's do some back-of-the-envelope.

From this Huffpo article they're throwing out $1,234.43 as the median rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in a selection of American cities (kid gloves to begin with - let's tackle SF rent later).

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/heres-what-an-average-apa_b_1...

So what are hotel rooms going to run you? I just grabbed something off of Expedia in SF for Wednesday night. Hotel Abri in Union Square $106. Seems not too sketchy, and not too pricey. If your s/o is a little adventurous there's always $60/night Motel 6 (bedbugs notwithstanding).

So, say you're having sex two nights per week (sure, not all the time, but you're living with your parents so you're going to have to dial that libido back a little bit - listening to them bug you about grandkids should do the trick).

Let's estimate that with tax and everything you're blowing $250/week on hotel rooms. That's $1,000/month.

Honestly you're right on that one. Cheaper to just get an apartment.

But wait! What if you're in SF? Median rent even with the 'rona is $3,280. $3,280/$110 ~ 30x/month.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/01/san-francisco-one-bedroom-re...

So, that's motel sex like 30 times per month. If you're under that, it's just money in the bank. So, maybe you and your s/o could think of it as every time you don't have sex you're putting money away for a down payment? I'm sure that won't have any weird long-term repercussions for your relationship.

That's one-sided savings. Say your s/o is pooling cash as well with a similar fixed cost structure. Multiply savings by two.

Road and trail running are just different sports and require such a high level of specialization at the very top that crossover is far from trivial. Kilian is still a better road or track runner than 99.999%, but he is very far from being world class in those disciplines. Flat running requires a more refined stride, better foot speed, slightly different muscles compared to going up and down steep trails. Top level track/road runners do not tend to do trail races during their peak years (there is much less money in trail/ultra than track/road), but ones who are just below then do not automatically win trail races.
I stopped reading when they wrote that they preferred modal editors because they hate navigating with arrow keys. Uh, I use to live in Emacs and now I use VS Code, and you could remove my arrow keys for all I’d care (or notice). Those are entirely orthogonal, like “I prefer cars to bikes because I like tires.”
it's not remotely rogue "lite" either. In the context of all other "lite" things a rogue"lite" would be a rougelike with less features, not a some completely unrelated game genre.
Wasn't aware of a shortage of school computers, imo growing up in Florida it was more of a shortage of competent IT staff.

In middle school I was able to use Net Send, granted this was pre SP2 for WinXP but that was a great way to have fun, meanwhile in highschool it was veritas backup software, open network directories and simple permissions that, should've been locked down vs any semi competent kid could do, nefarious stuff.

Of course, I never did. Ever. But the computers were never that used, I don't think we even had AD for unique user names, and we did not have email addresses. Computers were on a domain and there were some user names, but simple simple stuff like logging in as admin was possible (by default no password on Pre SP2.)

For the article, they cover refurb, and IMO that's the best answer - Microsoft gives away O365/M365/W10 for school basically free (if not free) and there's entitlements via techsoup for any non-profit, that basically mean if you file a non-profit llc, you get it if you provide a resale license and state leter of incorporation. (Resale license is pretty common for most non-profits, and allows you to waive sales tax on most purchases, because, its' for sale and ultimately will increase tax revenue for the state/county)

And an 5-7yr, maybe 10yr old i3, i5, i7 is all a student needs - a majority of students just need a basic laptop that should have good parts bin because it's probbaly to get damaged, vs having something new and not having that secondary resale/used/chinese market propping up parts.

Old Dell Latitudes, XPS's, For email, office apps, browing, and general computing, I don't see an issue. Especially w/ an SSD.

Now, macbooks, the resale market is strong on these, 2013 macbook airs are still selling for 400$+. Yeah. Right?

2013 Dell's and Lenovos, $100'ish. And they're great computers.

Most of the time the users don't even know the differences, just have Windows 10 and have it O365 ready and look in "good" shape.

I love puns, but if a comment is only made for the sake of making the pun, it probably isn't adding anything to the discussion. A pun or meme-ish comment with additional actual content however, is much more conducive to conversation, and doesn't risk derailing or dead-ending an otherwise perfectly good thread.
Every time I read something saying that it "it used to be harder" or "it used to be easier" or "it used to be"... I'm like no way, history repeats itself for pretty much every aspect of life.
Trail runs are different for a few reasons. First, long endurance runs take way more time, maybe 16-18 hours for top-tier athletes to do 100 miles, while a fast marathon isn't much over 2 hours. Also, there are typically lots o really big hills, which require more leg strength to run up and down. There's a lot of additional challenges to running in the mountains (rocky / uneven terrain, snow, river crossings, rain, darkness, etc), the pace is typically much slower. Even pros don't often run much faster than 8 minute / mile pace in a long ultramarathon, while Kipchoge can run most of his miles at 4:30 pace - as long as it's a flat road and it'll all be over in a couple hours
It's much slower than FDM (at least in my experience using a formlabs printer).
