Oh well. I guess "having an actual media player that observes to media keys" is "very advanced PC usage" in the year 2020, so that fully justifies hiding it in about:config. Sad.

Just look at the bibliography of any book, it is usually more than 6. So that's how many books you have to read on average to remember what you read, let alone deeply understand the material.
The whole idea of trying to remember and understand from one reading is a fallacy.
The best thing is to re-read the book again or read multiple books on the same subject.

Acrobat can read fantastically corrupt PDF files none of which are covered by the spec. The endless surprises induce a special kind of madness.

Streams just suddenly end? That’s ok. Totally corrupt xref tables? Ok. Incorrect image headers? Ok. Unrecognisably mangled Type1 font formats? Fine!

I always recommend Charles Mann's 1491 as the antidote to Guns, Germs, and Steel. (Although note that this focuses entirely on pre-Columbian America.)
For IntelliJ-based IDEs this is broadly correct, though some languages may occasionally call out to third party tools.
I worked for an Indian-based contracting company for a few years. I witnessed this first hand. I believe every word in this story.
Scrolled through to see if anyone mentioned video games before writing up my own comment, and pleasantly surprised to see Jonathan Blow explicitly mentioned!

As a counterpoint to the article which is arguing that Books and lectures don't have a theory of learning and assimilation of information, I think that Video Games as a medium often do. Most games have tutorials or instructions on how to play the game, often introducing novel or complex concepts to the audience that are required to be understood before the work can be enjoyed.

More specifically, I find that exploration and puzzle games tend to exemplify this more than most. They introduce one concept at a time, demonstrate it, allow exploration and 'play' of the concept and perhaps even test the understanding of it before progression is allowed. They also allow for more interesting corollaries and combinations of rules to be presented to the player which may be intriguing, surprising or, appropriately, puzzling.

And of all the puzzle games, it is Jonathan Blow's game 'The Witness' that I feel exemplifies this the best. Having also listened to his commentaries and watched his talks I know that this isn't an accident. In many ways the game itself is a contemplation on knowledge transfer, information assimilation and wordless communication of ideas. This early video [0] shows him talking through the first 10 minutes of the game and how these principles apply to the first two sets of puzzle and the first 'boss' puzzle.

His talk from your comment is also excellent, but I think it's worth highlighting that Blow very much says that video games are a complement to current resources rather than a replacement (as the title might suggest). Video Games allow for a different way to play with certain types of idea that allows for them to be understood on a deeper or more nuanced level. This doesn't necessarily apply to all types of knowledge.

I would also suggest the work of Bret Victor [1], who has some excellent essays and talks on the subject of learning, especially around Maths.

Also honorary mentions to Acko [2] and NCase [3] who create excellent explorables, which I think hint at what a fusion of classroom learning and video games might look like.

It's not noise, it's a valid market signal. So I'll side with automatically appending one such comment in every Google thread until their behavior visibly changes.
The current SE was released earlier this year with the same SOC as the iPhone 11 (A13 Bionic). At least for OS support, you can anticipate support for 5 years based on Apple's general treatment of their phones (the primary exceptions were the first few models, when the hardware changed drastically between each year).

> unless you mean prototype based inheritance which is very different beast

All inheritance in JS is prototype based inheritance. The class syntax is just syntax sugar prototypes. In theory you can do all sorts of crazy things with prototypes. In practice people use them just like classes. The reason people don't use inheritance in JS has nothing to do with browser support.
DSL also stands for Damn Small Linux. And Digital Subscriber Line. And a few other things.

One might almost think we need a Domain-Specific Language to distinguish between all these meanings.
This type is of stuff is why cities have zoning, and I feel like all this Airbnb discussion is just people realizing why things were like they were.

As a tourist who occasionally used Airbnb myself, of course I enjoy it but it’s not like I couldn’t enjoy a hotel. I completely understand why it’s bad for communities. There must be some middle ground to be reached here, but when in doubt, I would err on the side of communities, not the Airbnb property owners; the negative impact it has on communities is far worse than the positive impact it has on tourism.
Load Testing APIs and Websites with Gatling: It’s Never Too Late to Get Started

Suspending tabs would be very useful. I used to suspend tabs in Chrome by freezing the process of the tab (kill -STOP | kill -CONT), but Firefox shares the same process for multiple tabs.

May I ask what workload(s) you have that cause you to write that much to your SSD? Looks like with this drive you could write an average of ~330GB per day over 5 years and stay within the 600TB write warranty (on the 1TB version, at least). So that's 0.3 drive writes per day, which isn't unheard of for non-enterprise drives.

I lived right next to a hotel. So, maybe not literally on the same ground but they can be built right next to your place.

I would never get an apartment next to a hotel. The idling diesel buses were obnoxious. Along with all the people who would smoke outside and yell and scream. Kinda ridiculous.

I haven’t had to live next to a permanent airbnb apartment though.
The problem is not what you do with your console or PC, the problem is that multiplayer is P2P and a complete lack of security, anticheat and hardening means that anyone with a mod menu can do practically everything with your game (kick from the game, ban you from in-game features, make the game stuck, crash it, give you bad FPS, flashing or shaking screen, follow you into every session you join and even damage your installation). The only thing that prevents all of this is the platform not being cracked.
Hey, don't offend Laser Rifles! First, they are a valuable source of income (second only to Light Alloys + Personal Armors production, but that requires 2 components and is also messy), and do not require any ammunition, firing endlessly.

My every soldier carried an obligatory Laser Rifle in his backpack, taking it out and firing it every chance he had, achieving 3 objectives at once:

- the more stuff you carry, the faster strength and TUs of a soldier grow

- he always has a backup weapon with infinite ammo and decent damage

- everytime your other units are searching for that last alien, you must choose some barn or cabbage and SHOOT at it at full auto, RAPIDLY rising shooting accuracy.

In addition to laser rifles my commandoes always carry autocannons with HE or Incendiary ammo, creating havoc every time they can and scaring enemy to death. Later you can replace autocannons with Heavy Plasmas and those Blaster Launchers, but before that, it's the best way for heavy loading soldiers.

The only downside to this is somewhat reduced TU count in the beginning, and you also have to set up the gear for every mission, which is a drag. Unfortunately, original XCom doesn't have loadout templates.

I've lived there and I can tell you that many Hawaiians are not appreciative of being colonized, nor should they be. Having their own flag and extra labor laws does not ameliorate the injustices and negative consequences of colonization.

Nor am I qualified to talk, I just want to point out that many of my Hawaiian friends would not in any way agree with your statement, and it is worth factoring that in to the broader discussion.

Not as bad as we thought, but an in-person team is still more agile, faster and better at onboarding/integrating new people. So I think they'll have that kind of advantage in the coming years over incumbents that transitioned to remote permanently.

I've observed requests to p.typekit.com that appear to have high-entropy identifiers in GET parameters, so I would still consider it potential user tracking.

I'd prefer no tracking at all instead of trusting the goodwill of a company to follow through with its privacy policy.
If it can be done by a process, then document it and do it by process. It is not hero work. But don't underestimate hero work.
Your local fire department does the kind of work that most people who subscribe to mundane management philosophies denigrate.

At about age 30, as a new junior employee at one of the worlds biggest companies, I got involved with hero work for more than a decade without originally planning to do that. You can't find too many people who are willing to crouch inside a quickly nailed together Farday cage for weeks and write software that detects unwanted EMI, find cache corruptions caused by unwanted isotopes in solder or write custom microcode for weird signal processing architectures. There is absolutely no information hoarding, because every real challenge occurs exactly once and needs to be solved the first time before it can be reduced to a repeatable process.

In between those assignments, I had a really tough time living through the attitudes of some of the anti-hero culture warriors. Eventually some of those mangers got together, tried to eliminate the culture all together and reform the former fire-fighters.

Who wants to work in an environment like that? Not anyone like me for sure. I found myself fired at age 40. The spoils of a decade of such work are good enough that I don't really need to work ever again. But I can't stop doing it - it changes you. Started a consulting company to help many others deal with problems that process oriented people can't solve. If you are young and so inclined, I highly recommend hero work as a career. It is rewarding mentally and financially.

I am actually surprised how many properties there are like that on Airbnb, given that everyone I know immediately filters them out.
Agree. I’ve been working remotely for the past five years. It can definitely be done.

But I’d prefer an in person conversation any day vs the CB Radio-like feel of today’s conferencing.

I don’t want to throttle my thoughts. I want quick successions of comments going back and forth.

Simply not the experience right now with videoconferencing.

Someone else who actually knows how to use debuggers; a dying breed!
Jame's Bradley's The China Mirage is a pretty good book on this. FDR didn't want to get into a war with Japan, and in his oil embargoes/financial asset freezes he left loopholes that would allow Japan to continue buying oil while convincing his political base that he was being tough on Japan. The bill was drafted in a way where Japan could submit requests to the state department and treasury to unfreeze enough assets to continue buying oil. However, FDR's assistant secretary of state, Dean Acheson, took a harder line on Japan and when FDR was meeting with Churchill in Newfoundland in August 1941 and Japanese tankers arrived for their preapproved oil shipments, Acheson refused to unfreeze Japanese funds so they could buy the oil and turned FDR's bill into an actual embargo.
As far as I can tell, kiosk mode does pretty much the same thing.

Right, "It simply isn't feasible to grant every cultural group the full extent of their historical claims."

Short of their headcount rising to 500k, I don't see how they can ever fill the space. They are also going crazy in other cities - the new marquee skyscraper in Austin will be a Google building (yes I know they are not the only tenant)...right next to the other skyscraper with the Google logo on it. Likewise in other cities.

I predict that the San Jose campus will be ditched. Given that HSR to San Jose may never happen or at best be delayed for years, there's no reason for Google to continue with the project (which was sold as a big "transit" focused campus). The land will be sold for a profit though.
Obviously I disagree, but since you got to say your bit- I’d like to rebut.

I run an IRC network, I’ve hired people from my IRC network, you choose your own level of involvement.

(And your own level of notification. I know the default in slack and discord is aggressive and designed to push more engagement but it is configurable)

As it stands there are many people who are absolutely not “distracted” by it, most do not get notifications at all, but usually if you did get a notification it would be because someone said your name explicitly.

Most people tend to read up when they feel like it and respond when they feel like it.

I also don’t like absolutism but the OP sounds absolutely defeated and for no reason other than they seem unaware that these communities exist and in my experience have given me better experiences than in person “networking” meetings.

Unless I’m already friends, meeting people at conferences is often not as valuable as meeting them on IRC.

There are two types of fan motors, AC and DC. A lot of small fans would be DC fans, which have their own power supply/converter. Larger ceiling fans are often AC fans. Depending on where you are in the world, one or the other type might be common for some applications. In my experience, a small desktop fan would be a DC fan.

Both fan types have transient behavior at startup. It takes more energy to get the fan moving than to keep it moving. In principle, a basic fan looks something like a short circuit when the blades aren't turning.

This startup behavior manifests differently for AC vs DC fans. For more, here's a good summary showing steady-state current draw (figs. 3/4) and startup (fig. 5).

No, Firefox doesn’t need to support the use case of a court system. That’s not what GP is saying. All we’re establishing here is that PDF is a useful format, and Firefox is supporting it.

Also, cryptographic signatures do happen to be a feature of PDF.

In the early 2000 I coded a PDF library for an industrial printer suite. (Print, proof, impositions)

I personally think the structural PDF format is a really great format. It's entirely ASCII-based, a pure text format, yet it can embed arbitrary binary data and compress that data. The actual structure is simple and support just enough functionality, like a tree of object, dictionaries and arrays, unicode strings, date formats, etc.

I think if you limit yourself to pure structural PDF woulde have been a great format to standardize upon, much better than JSON or XML. It';s richer than JSON, simpler and saner than XML. Again, it's top-notch ability to embed binary is great. It has other great characteristics, for example you can update anything just by appending.

The ugly bits are in the "semantic" PDF: the page descriptions, media, etc. Even then, the early version of PDF were nice, mainly just simplified Postscript.
I know caste is for historical reasons, but is there some constitution amendment in India to do away with Caste for the whole country? considering India claims to be the largest democratic country on earth, if Caste is not strongly forbidden it can last forever and yes, it will be here in USA where more Indians are either working here, or acting as management roles these days. It's bad.

Yeah the keyboard preference map does work in a similar fashion! However I came into few problems with it that are rather minor but bugged me nevertheless:

1. It enters the text and _then_ replaces it which for me is really distracting.

2. It has this little pop up even for a single option which is also very distracting.

Maybe it's my niche use case but I type and read a lot and I prefer the input to stay visually minimalistic to not tire myself out.
I'm starting to think that the concept of "files" is starting to be a very advanced concept for some people these days.

I hope that when governments around the world realise that WFH is going to become the norm for a large number of people they will adjust tax laws to allow write-offs where applicable.

Since April this year in the UK we can get up to £6 per week written off business expenses incurred as a result of WFH.

Of course, they may go the opposite direction to encourage people back into offices so coffee/sandwich shops etc. get more footfall.
I appreciate your wisdom. Outlook is bleak for soon to be new-grads so some of my feelings may be a projection of my interview discouragement. Stats still seem to have me worried... "Referrals account for between 30 and 50% of hires in the US...referrals only made up about 6% of total applications, they resulted in more than a quarter of hires. That’s more than the number hired via online job boards, even though those job hunters accounted for 60% of applications and 40% of interviews." [1]
