I agree completely. Now that I have a Tesla and I actually like driving again, I am willing to drive upwards of 12 hours to avoid getting on a flight.

If it’s too far to drive I have to fly first class. The security is still a pain in the ass but at least you don’t have to be stuffed in coach like cattle, people lining up to use the bathroom while farting 2 inches from your face. If that ticket is too expensive then wherever I’m going is not worth the trouble.

This was my opinion long before covid and needless to say I haven’t warmed up to flying in the last 6 months.
I wrote a piece that got some discussion here on VS Code (https://blog.robenkleene.com/2020/09/21/the-era-of-visual-st...). After writing that piece and reflecting, I decided that VS Code did in fact have one weakness: It doesn't have an embedded browser. I even tried to start a conversation about it on the VS Code Dev Slack here's what I said:

> Any thoughts in integrating a browser into VS Code? Panic's just released text editor for macOS, Nova, has this feature. The obvious thing it gets you is a live updating preview of HTML files, but taking it further: With VS Code's development community, this seems like it could be the path forward for features like being able to instantly jump to editing the source file for a CSS rule or an HTML element from the DevTools, or jumping to a component's source file from the React DevTools. I'm aware there a couple of projects that have tried to do integrate a browser into VS Code, but nothing has really come to fruition yet, any thoughts?

(Didn’t get much of a response, but obviously no one would talk about this if they knew.)

The above summarizes my thoughts, but here’s another one: This is a key component of GitHub Codespaces. One of the weaknesses in remote development is the round trip between the developer server process and the browser is less seamless than when doing local development. The IDE-style debugger integration doesn’t work without running Chrome on the same machine for example.

Anyway, VS Code now doesn’t have any weaknesses that I’m aware of anymore.
From the article:

> The three chief executives had initially been invited to attend voluntarily, but declined.

Unclear who did the declining though. Maybe it should say "but they declined".
Doesn't look like this has been asked anywhere on here. Couldn't he just publish internationally for countries who don't care about DoJ injunctions?
Usb cables should do the same, most don't I guess.
> it isn't illegal for private companies to make decisions regarding the content they choose to publish or to moderate content

It is true that private companies are allowed to publish what they want.

But, if they are acting as publishers, then maybe we should treat them like publishers, and hold them responsible for the content that they publish.

If, on the other hand, they want to receive protections for acting like a "platform", then perhaps they should be required to actually act like a platform.
I can't say I agree.

>Repealing it would only lead to more restrictions on what people can post.

From the right's point of view, that's the desired effect. The right is already being deplatformed. Removing 230 protections means everyone is deplatformed. That will kill their businesses as companies with 230 protection can outcompete them. Scorched earth policy.

However, this is only because the right wanted to classify these things as the public square, and therefore subject to first amendment protection. The left claims this is private business and not subject to first amendment.

A judge in the WeChat download ban case just handed Trump a public square ruling. It will be interesting to see if they do anything with that or continue with scorched earth instead. At this point, I think the right wants to see these leftist silicon valley companies punished, so a public square ruling may be too little too late.
Google pays for most of it. The point of services like the VPN is to change that though.
Sorry to be blunt, but you have no idea how "Targeting" works on Advertising/Telephone co.

When Verizon/Att/Tmo/etc sells your information to Advertising companies, they will "infer" your identity. They do not care if phone SIM have your ID associated. That ID is built from traffic.

If they see DNS requests to real state sites, they may put you in a bucket that says "high income", if they see searches (via DNS hijack to when you search by your addressbar like tmo does) for things like fastfood breakfast delivery, up in the "low income" bucket you go. Also, it will always have your Phone number.

Then those Advertising companies "enrich" this data with data from google or others, and can pin point you by email plus all the correlated data. Happy that you have facebook two factor auth to your SMS now?

It shocks me that people in this forum are completely oblivious to Tracking and think that the aborted "think of the children" law that requires you present an ID to buy a phone line has any importance...

So, to conclude, the traffic here is observed by the proxing entity, by the tel co, etc.
A tracksaw will generally perform better than 99% of the tablesaws out there for breaking down sheet goods. And will be far safer as well (kickback is a bitch).

Applicative style for one

data Person = Person
{ age :: Int
, name :: Text
, height :: Int
}

Person
<$> parseAge
<*> parseName
<*> parseHeight

Applicative style is one of the easiest constructs to read relative to the power of what it typically does.

Most other times when you use <$>, you're using it instead of something like this:

fmap f $ x y z

Which is simplified by

f <$> x y z

I was watching a DJ from West Oakland on Twitch, and she was very excited that she was moving to SF next week. She said that because all the tech people left, rents in SF have fallen a lot, so much so that she's actually saving money moving to SF.

It'll be interesting to see how that holds up after this is over. How many of the large employers will continue to allow work from home, or at least not work from SF?

Isn’t that like a capacitor? As it charges the voltage increases and the current drops until it reaches zero. Then if you discharge it you can start over again.
I'm not sure that's ironic. A lot of libertarian types don't seem to mind authoritarians as business partners, they just don't want to live that way.
I've seen this play out with several companies over the last 20 years.

Company starts to push employees to work remote from anywhere. It sounds great and it is great for as long as you keep and enjoy that same job. Once you move into the boonies, company knows they have leverage on you. You can no longer ragequit on Thursday and start at a new place with a better salary next Monday. You'll be forced to hold on to this job even if it turns sour. Or what if there are layoffs.

Then you're stuck in the boonies with no other employment choices other than compete for other remote jobs at a much reduced salary now.

Moving back to the Bay Area is very difficult if you sold the house when moving out.

TL;DR: Only move for personal reasons, not for company incentives.

MobX is possibly my favorite open-source project. The elegance with which it makes an entire problem-space just disappear, with minimal magic or surprises, with maximal performance, with a delightful user-experience, with minimal opinions or assumptions about how you use it. I have nothing but praise; React + MobX is the most productive I've ever been while working on user interfaces.

On top of all that, Michael is a very reasonable and patient project leader. His documentation puts advanced concepts in plain terms, and when people file feature-requests he always displays a genuine willingness to consider their use-cases and points of view, to solve their problem if it's reasonable for the project to do so, and is never condescending even when questions or suggestions are plainly bad.

If you care about blinding the Tel Co of your financial information, sorry to say but you are a criminal.

Financial information is the ONE (single) information they cannot resell. Well, technically they can sell information if you miss account etc. And all your personal info if you default. But that is another subject.

All the other information they do sell, they will continue to sell just the same. Including DNS/email access times/location, etc.

Because there is no way to provide you with service without that information. And that is all conveniently associated with the phone number, which you gladly uses on facebook (or it discover via the App if you install it on android)

So, yes. This is pretty much a VPN. Just one more party that can influence your connection before the intended termination.

I think these videos are analogous to historical fiction novels. Those books are a niche pretty far removed from academic research and serve a very different purpose.

If you want to learn the most detailed academic knowledge of a time period, reading stories written by James Clavell or Colleen McCullough wouldn't make any sense. On the other hand, for a person who's casually interested in a historical time period and wants a fun immersive way to learn and think about it, reading well written novels about that period is an excellent way to go about it. For that same person, reading primary documents and research papers would probably be quite tedious.

I think the videos from this article are a fun and unique way to explore past time periods, while also being of little value to academic research. There's nothing wrong with different niches serving different purposes, even if they cover the same topic.
Yes. As of a few hours ago :)
I don't need to be a lawyer to see that a case which determined that users can sue Apple because Apple is the direct seller, and in the dissent said developers would have an even better standing to sue Apple leads us to where we are. It's precedent.

Because that would mean a very small amount of t-shirts go out. I think people think of DO a little too much. This isn't some altruistic action to better Open Source. It's a marketing gimmick.

Less shirts going out == less shirts being worn == less DO's name plastered on every programmers' bodies.

This is not to say that Hacktoberfest hasn't been helpful for some Open Source projects but let's not pretend that DO's main goal isn't marketing.

(BTW, there is nothing wrong with that, they are a company who wants to earn money, and this way, they help Open Source a little bit too)
That's actually a worse analogy. You're obscuring what's actually going on here. I was being nice when I said it was like "doubling the length of the federalist papers." In a proper analogy, our fake document would be 24 times the length of the federalist papers. 96% of our document would be completely fabricated. FAKE. At that point you're learning more about the computer than whatever document you're viewing and it's the same for video. Scaling up from 480p to 4k requires the computer to fill in 96% of the information. That's really only good for entertainment value, not serious academic research into a historical period.

Computers aren't magic time-traveling machines. If you want 4k reproductions of old films, just scan the actual film with better equipment. If you want colorization, that requires actual investigation and to figure out what colors were in use, and how to map them onto the video data. If no such investigation is possible then we're SHIT OUT OF LUCK. It happens. Move on. Stop revising history for entertainment.
While one can still buy a prepaid SIM card without ID in the USA (though I don’t expect that to remain the case for long), there are plenty of OPSEC slipups: if you top up your account with a bank card in your own name, the mobile provider will associate your identity with the SIM card. If you leave the phone with that card turned on overnight at your own home, it is trivial for the mobile provider or authorities to link that SIM to your own identity, etc.
> We're not going after you for whistleblowing on systematically illegal activity by the NSA.

Yes, the US is doing that. Just not in this lawsuit. As I noted upthread, this lawsuit is only the civil lawsuit; there is a separate criminal lawsuit still in progress.
I think there's a wide gulf between "said something that someone on the internet construed as racist" and "demonstrated bias against some minority"...

But past that, the general principle you advocate seems to be "try not to hire people who will not be able to work with others", right? It doesn't matter whether they're biased against minorities or non-minorities, as long as they're biased and will be acting irrationally in ways that piss off those around them.
Sure, whatever.

Apple promised to the users (not Epic) they would only use notarization to block harmful software. Epic's software is not harmful to the user, and the lawsuit didn't change anything about that.

ugh, historians have done much bigger damage to actual original artifacts, at least these deoldifying methods are not as biased, or, at least, their bias is quantifiable.

The most interesting thing about these films is watching the mannerisms of the people, something which is generally not observable on the orignal, due to choppy motion/artifacts/cartoonish quality. I don't know how accurate the restoration method for the motion is, but I can never trust historic movies or documentaries to accurately recreate the way people walk, talk or just comport themselves.

I think the climate change thing has little to do with how far off it is. It's just that the people who stand to benefit from not mitigating climate change are both powerful politically and wealthy enough that the effects, even if they happened much sooner than predicted, wouldn't likely effect them. Sure, they may lose one of their homes on the coastline. The mass migration away from coastlines will be devastating to humanity, but not to those people or their children. Heck, even worst case scenarios like massive social unrest or resource wars aren't likely to effect these people. Their kids certainly won't be going off to war!

In other words, it's not a problem of being able to imagine the effects. I suspect the powerful people resisting climate change mitigation can imagine the effects, they just know those effects won't touch them.

I do think it’s always going to require Edge though, I don’t see how Microsoft could resist getting tons of developers to install Edge for these features. I’m probably going to today. So a real VS Code strategy starts to emerge...
Amen to this. If anyone is considering dismissing those areas as unimportant, rural areas are where all the food, water, natural and mineral resources, and so forth that cities depend on come from. With respect to the violence angle, rural areas also supply a huge percentage of recruits for the military, much more than major cities.

Trying to disenfranchise rural areas is not going to work out well, to put it mildly. An accommodation needs to be reached between rural and urban America. I just wish we had a presidential candidate who I thought had a chance of accomplishing that.

The fake colors are completely made up by the computer. The people could have been wearing drab green or bright red or hot pink suits and it would show up as the same sepia/navy blue that the computer makes all the clothes look like in the colorized video.
No technical details in the technical details section. Talks about privacy and then uses the least privacy-respecting carrier: AT&T? Ok cool, so the customer bill says Librem... when this gets piped to the NSA with the location data, I'm sure they can't handle putting a name to it. When it gets sold to location brokers with current location information, I'm sure it won't have the unique phone number tied to it. Might as well wave and put a target on your head saying "please de-anonymize me".

No clear definition of where deprioritization limits kick in or how it is to be enforced. Who cares though! The Librem 5 ships with a cat3 LTE modem. That is only just LTE on a single carrier, no LTE Advanced, no carrier aggregation. Forget talking about 5G, we don't even have a modem that supports full 4G operating speeds. Stop hyping something you aren't close to.

Now I get it, I'm sounding very harsh but understand that this is a company that's selling a packaged virtue signal (sorta like Virtu used to) and is consistently over-promising and under-delivering. Making phones is hard, making them in the US is next to impossible. I'd rather have a piece of working/shipping Chinesium (Pinephone) for a fifth of the price and use a sim card paid in cash from a prepaid carrier that I can load whatever to it and isn't going to be gone in a year, if I cared to attempt anonymity.

Those protections still don't prevent platforms from doing half the things conservatives complain about. Section 230 doesn't actually require platforms to be politically neutral, or to only moderate content which is strictly illegal.
Indeed Hilton is worth about $0.005 as I mentioned.

United, however, are worth substantially more. I just redeemed 77K for a one-way business class flight from SFO to IST non-stop on Turkish, which was priced at $2000 on a half-round-trip basis ($0.025).

It's actually quite easy to get $0.015 on United when redeeming for economy class. Maybe Pandemic pricing is messing with the numbers, but this shouldn't be too challenging most of the time. They don't impose fuel surcharges which helps a lot.

You're right that there is a significant difference between candidates this time. But just because one of the teams has made their offering even worse does not validate the overall setup. Trump's exceptional terribleness is just another indicator of just how broken our democracy has become, complete with the sizable amount of people continuing to rally behind him out of spite.

Although pragmatically I do find myself in the novel position of needing to support the status quo corporate authoritarian, as societal collapse is not conducive to freedom.

A capacitor is like a rubber membrane that has elasticity. When the capacitor/rubber membrane is stretched to its limit, it either breaks (dielectric breakdown) or it releases that energy causing a flow in the opposite direction.

A sand filter has no limit (as it gets more clogged, it starts resembling a closed valve) and it can't release built up energy (flowing in the opposite direction just "opens the valve")
I've only just found it but try out Integromat. So far it feels like the middle ground between IFTTT and Zapier in terms of features and price.

It also handles processing earlier data which won me over. Want GitHub tasks to get into your Todoist workflow? Easy enough to do on all 3 for future issues.

Integromat lets you process issues that already exist.

>I didn't find any of those tweets unprofessional.

"There was a lot of work done to brainwash African people to believe that the white man had the monopoly on truth & that he was favored by God. We need to understand the way Christianity has been used to dominate African people, land and resources."

Spouting that racist, ahistorical nonsense is absolutely unprofessional.

>I found them to be a genuinely interesting perspective on social issues that I am interested in.

That speaks more about you than anything.

>I am not sure how that's unprofessional of her.

I just highlighted how. Making crazy claims about a race/religion is not acceptable in any professional environment I've ever been in, and I've worked in SV for a long time.

>She is entitled to tweet whatever she wants to from her personal twitter account.

No one said otherwise, you're strawman-ing really hard now. You specifically asked for things that "she [said] that made her come off that way [unprofessional] to you?" I provided examples. The fact that they came from her personal Twitter account is immaterial. She links her Twitter account on her LinkedIn, professional web page, etc., so, it's not specifically a personal account.

>Do you think its reasonable for her to follow your idea of how a Director of Engineering should tweet?

It's not my idea, it's generally accepted that spouting racist, anti-Christian rhetoric on Twitter is unbecoming of any leader. It could be illegal and/or open a company to lawsuits since it's specifically targeting protected classes.

And those tweets listed above are just from September...
