I'm a Director (of software engineering, not the cool kind who directs movies). I keep no important files on my desktop (usually stupid screenshots to be shared, or quick notes for myself). My email inbox has zero unread messages. I have no unread Slack messages. My directory structure has basically been unchanged since 2002. I backup my files regularly to "the cloud" and to a local drive on my desk. My source code, and some notes, are all in a distributed version-control system (ok, we all know it's Git). I keep our internal Wiki up-to-date as I delete, or archive, items that have become irrelevant or misleading. Some of us aren't as you have stated.

Now, my physical desk at home is a friggin' mess. I need a larger one.

You know, sometimes I wish the programming languages had a better distinction between "immutable data pieces" and "stateful agents". Sometimes it's really nice to have a simple struct for which you (or anyone else) can write many function to act upon. Sometimes it's really nice to have an opaque "object" with methods to yank described in some public interface, but which encapsulates loads of state and other objects inside it so you don't have to think about all of that.
How much power the government has is certainly one line of argument. I'm more interested in how we hold the government accountable for the exercise of the power it has.

In general, I don't think limiting the power or size of the government is the solution, although I'm all in favour of shrinking certain parts of it in very specific ways: You can make your prison management arm smaller by privatising jails and prisons, but you haven't really fixed anything if you do that; on the other hand, I would be delighted to see defence and policing budgets the world over diverted into infrastructure, schools, and housing, and there are many very good examples of how those can be managed well by both central or local government.

If the government is unaccountable, then anyway it's useless to talk about its size, it can simply accrue more power. I think America is especially (although not uniquely) feeling the pain of lack of accountability at the moment, not least because the electorate as a whole is increasingly misrepresented by the outcome of elections, there is no culture of building political consensus, and as a result every vote becomes a zero-sum contest.

It does not have to be like this.
All this shouldn't suprise any of them, it's in the ToS after all.

This is an extremely weak argument, IMHO.

For a start, it's clearly impractical for the average person to even read all of the legal documents they theoretically agree to. It would take an absurd amount of time and have a devastating effect on our quality of life and the productivity of our society.

Even that assumes the reader would be qualified to understand the legal implications of a long, often complicated document, possibly written according to the laws of another country, in the first place. This again seems extremely optimistic, given that professional lawyers spend years studying their own legal systems and are then often very well paid for sharing the expertise they have acquired.

So the idea that burying something unfair or unreasonable in a ToS document that realistically almost no-one is going to read and properly understand is really just a conceit of the legal profession (and possibly not even that, since even lawyers understand the fiction that is happening here).

The essence of any legal contract is an agreement, understood and entered into voluntarily by all parties involved, that exchanges things of value to the parties. Different legal systems might use slightly different words to say that, but they mean much the same thing. Hiding shady stuff in the small print of an agreement written by one side's professional lawyers and probably never even read never mind understood by the other side is far from sufficient to meet that standard for a legal contract.

This is why good businesses and their lawyers go out of their way to present the key details of any agreement clearly and up-front, not to hide them on page 91. It's also why courts hearing consumer rights cases sometimes side with the consumer even if something else was stated in a ToS or similar document.

Lets say you have a language which has some form of macro system or similar to make creation of new thinks which look like literal-like expression easier.

E.g. instead of `a = [1,2]` you have `a = vec![1,2]` which de-sugars to `a = Vec::with_capacity(2); a.push(1); a.push(2);`.

Now custom data structures can define their own macros like that, e.g. `skip_list![1,2]`.

Which would be all fine. But what if now `bad_skip_list![1,2]` accesses a thread local variable (or other implicit provided data) and adds that, too?

Now `bad_skip_list![1,2]` might be not equal to `bad_skip_list![1,2]` defined somewhere else. Which is against the ideas behind the rule #5.

You should be able to copy-past the literal-like creation of data to any place (e.g. a unit-test) and get the same result.

EDIT: If I remember correctly you could override parts of `Array.prototype` and array construction in JavaScript to brake the #5 for JavaScript for thinks like `[1,2,3]` but I'm not to sure about that anymore.
How do you know which project to focus on?

It seems Buffet, Jobs, Gates and anyone who got lucky early can say whatever they want, but they are also trapped in their own success, just like Google. Nothing else they do seems like "success" compared to their one big hit (Berkshire Hathaway, Macbook + iPhone, Windows, and of course the search-ad engine).

Sure, having a strategy is great, but usually for most people that should be try a few things, see what sticks, fail early, fail often, get into groups where network effects will carry your project/startup.

> The research makes clear that there is something unique about the obstacles black males face. The gap between Hispanics and whites is narrower, and their incomes will converge within a couple of generations if mobility stays the same. Asian-Americans earn more than whites raised at the same income level, or about the same when first-generation immigrants are excluded. Only Native Americans have an income gap comparable to African-Americans. But the disparities are widest for black boys.

> Latest B120i driver was released at 30 Apr 2020. I don't think it's retired yet

Ok, I might have misunderstood the info posted at: http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/ubuntu-hpdsa/ which states: "NOTICE! The hpdsa driver is no longer being developed past the versions indicated. Do not upgrade the Ubuntu kernel or try to use this binary driver with Xenial. If you have a B-series Smart Array, it is advised to use the Linux md (software raid) driver, or upgrade to an H or P series hardware-based host bus adapter."

I thought the hpdsa driver was the same across distros, not unique to Ubuntu. Based on what you're telling me it seems that only the Ubuntu version was discontinued.

Flock, pack and herd are found in "beginner" English books all the time. Ask the nearest three year old to fetch the animal/farm/zoo book.

Those three words also stand on their own. "That herd looks unsettled" "Can you hear the pack howling?" etc.

> Perhaps I'm way off though, since my perception is probably skewed by tech companies.

Where you're standing makes a massive difference to your perception. Using your back of the envelope calculations, 200k or even quite a bit less is a lot of money to many, if not most, people. The median USA income is apparently 50k, so they'd be earning more than most other people. Compared to a hard working minimum wage job, which can have longer, inflexible hours, this is definitely worth the squeeze for many people.

> It should be maintained because it's a tool to check if someone is logical and serious or not.

Do you mean solely double negatives here, or does this also apply to the three other "rules of grammar"? Because those are not actual rules of grammar at all. The split-infintives "rule" came about by a false analogy with Latin (where it is largely impossible to split infinitives, at least present active ones, because they are almost always single words -- e.g. amare, "to love"): Fowler, for one, holds that a split infinitive is preferable "to real ambiguity, and to patent artificiality". The ban on prepositions at the ends of sentences was made up out of whole cloth by Dryden, again with irrelevant reference to Latin. And I think you would be hard pushed to find a writer in the English literary canon who never begins a sentence with a conjunction.

> Double negatives in particular make statements harder to reason about.

That's bad news for French philosophy, then, because formal French demands a double negative in many contexts. E.g., jamais is French for "never", but "I would never do that" is Je ne ferais jamais ça, where ne is the direct equivalent of the English "not". (In informal French, curiously, the ne is often dropped, or so I understand.) Of course, French is not English, but if Francophones can handle double negatives without logical edifices collapsing, I'm sure Anglophones can too.

> You're explaining a process and say, "You shouldn't get 'no results' here."

Then any confusion is my own fault for expressing myself in such a clumsy and ambiguous manner. I should have said either "You should get some results here" or "You shouldn't get the message 'no results' here", depending on whether the presence of results or the absence of the error was the key criterion of success.

Loss of downforce does not necessarily mean it goes tumbling. Skits basically means it's easier to create the suction that provide the downforce. Loss of that means it lacks the grip it would otherwise have, not that air gets under the car in a way that send it flying. The front wing and rear wing would still produce some downforce that keeps with the wheels on the ground.

You're correct, but as far as I knew they hadn't committed to building a new engine for the hybrid rules coming in 2023. As of yesterday, they had committed long term.

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm not an indycar fan and I just saw the announcement that they were building a new hybrid. The point still stands, Honda isn't leaving F1 to focus on green tech, it's leaving because they're burning money and not seeing any return.
>"Not seeing sides", or not picking them, is taking a position though.

This has always been a simplistic take on disagreement, action, and belief. It deems agnosticism untenable and inherently precludes the possibility of nihilism.

It would be extraordinary - and flatly in tension with common sense - to believe/claim that agnosticism and/or nihilism were not live options for some domain.

Any thoughts about how to maybe integrate blog comments software like Talkyard (or any of the others) with Matrix?

I'm going to build Mattermost and Slack integrations — primarily to send notifications to chat channels, when something happens at Talkyard.

Maybe there could be a notification to a Matrix channel, once a new blog post reply appears. And in the distant future, maybe it'd make sense to moderate comments, and reply, via /slash commands in a Matrix client?

* * *

If actually storing blog comments — maybe even the blog post itself?, in Matrix somehow, then, I'm thinking it'd be good if the Matrix protocol & storage format, worked with relpies & nested replies. So there could be HackerNews like tree-style discussions

I wonder if it supports that already maybe

B.t.w. if you find time to dig into that, and if you want to & remember, feel free to message me once you know how you'd do, to build something based on Matrix,

I'd be interested in ... in the very distant future ... two-way-sync between a Matrix "database" and a Talkyard database

I do self host Bitwarden. There are two possibilities:

- the official docker solution which is extremely complicated

- https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs which is extremely simple and just works. It includes everything for 0 EUR.

I still sent money to both projects because I think they did a nice work.

I find Bitwarden better than LP in handling Android (seems to be better at recognizing places it can fill in) and it is very complete in terms of what the product itself offers. I considered moving mu OTP (currently on Authy) there, up to the moment where I realized I need OTP for Bitwarden itself :)

Otherwise I have no complaints. The sharing part is excellent (much better than LP) - the only thing to be aware of is that once you "share" with a group, the elements is not "yours" anymore. It becomes truly shared within the group. Specifically you cannot "take it back". While it was a bit disconcerting at first, I find it very logical in the long term. And use it extensively with my family.

You can make more by having more machines. How many machines could one person restock? A lot more than 13. Let's say I have to visit each machine once a week on average (seems reasonable given it's sold $75 worth of stuff), I could stock 100 machines spread out over a small city. A lot more if I have many machines located together in say a university or an office park.

The average operator has 13 machines and views it as a side hustle. But that's true for a lot of entrepeneurial businesses. (The average SaaS owner, the average Youtube personality...). That doesn't mean you can't scale the business to where it provides a very decent income stream.
Right, but it limits the virtue signaling of their stated reason for leaving F1. If leaving F1 was just about the environment, then they should limit their involvement with all ICE focused organizations.
