1. Lay of the land (read, watch videos, what's there?)

2. Map the territory (Anki, notes, Feynman method)

3. Drill down (where are my gaps in understanding?)

4. Emulate (Watch tutorials then recreate them from memory)

5. Synthesize (build something cool)

Just an app that I built in some free time over the past 2 weeks. The app allows to set custom widgets for your iPhone home screen. I may add more variations next month.

Would be happy to hear feedback / suggestions on what Widgets everyone likes to see.

"Because it doesn't make anyone money" is my best guess. I kinda hate how conspiracy-theory-ish it sounds, but I can't much deny it any more?

I'm one anecdotal data point:

Never heard of this guy, but the cold shower thing just sounded plausible enough that I figured I'd try it.

Not even the whole thing cold -- I start off with a hot shower and then just drop it for the last minute or so, as long as I can stand.

And -- it's CRAZY. After getting the regular yearly colds that I just presumed were a part of life...they just stopped. I haven't had any sort of cough/cold sickness at ALL going on about 3 years.
Afaik, Tailscale works very hard to P2P connections and uses the gateway either to punchhole through NATs, or proxy connections in case of hard NATs, or for authz/n.
S10e came out year and a half ago! Unfortunate despite everyone complaining no one bought it and we didnt get s20e. Seriously that has been the best smart phone I've ever used or heard of and if mine dies I'm buying the exact same one.
You have a point, and there are parts of NYC that are very heavy finance workers, but I'd point out a few differences:

- You'd have to include SF, San Jose and Oakland together to equal the size of NYC (and much of that SF metro area is single family home suburbs with no one on the street at night)

- Tech workers concentrate in SF proper because there is not much outside of it (yes, there is, but SF is the core)

Just my take, but SF seems to revolve around tech, while finance is big in NYC, it's not the dominating industry like tech is in SF.
Once upon a time, Apple shipped with all Macbook with 3.5mm jacks that doubled up as optical audio out. Ah, the good old days
Exactly, this is why I really really hate it when people say "Poor people should cook themselves" as if they wouldn't if they had the time or energy to. If you work minimum wage all day, especially with kids, cooking from scratch is a chore and a half.

The stuff you buy off the shelves is either cheap or healthy, rarely both.
How does the camera compare to the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G.

wise thinking.

there is a huge difference, not only in the kinds of work you can put on your resume, but in the quality of co-workers, and what you can learn from them.

You can approximate that experience in some other areas (Provo, Boston, Austin, San Luis Obispo, etc) but a LOT of American cities are still technological backwaters, and there's nothing available but garbage jobs that will drain your soul and turn you into a code zombie.
Haven't heard of Google or Twitter before, have you?
you are not listening. I specifically called out Google and Facebook.

it doesn't matter what Disney does. The top tech 'aggregators' huge cut makes it impossible to run a business long term because you are losing 30% off the top line and giving up all the data (often not even being able to see what your own users are doing). so DIS can kick you in the jewels and it doesn't matter, because in the long run the likes of Google destroys its content creators.

As content providers get successful, they either move to another platform or go the DIS route - start their own. The fact that patrion had to exist for content producers to justify their existence is a shame on google.
It’s not inflation exactly, because of the influence of lower interest rates, but in my neighborhood houses sold for around $250/square foot last couple years. My neighbor just sold her house for $365/square foot.

There is a measure of the balance of supply vs demand where 100 is an equal number of buyers and sellers. More sellers < 100, more buyers > 100. My realtor just told me it typically bounces between 80 and 120, but right now it’s 350. She’s never seen it remotely as high.
Bit flip is always a risk even if you don't use ram disk.
And I’d be curious if there are systematic data-driven studies on the existence and level of unique-to-physical-collocation creativity in the era of advanced multipoint videoconferencing.

There will be a lot of anecdotal evidence presented over the next few months, but I suspect it will be tied to political agendas. There’s a lot of money and economic dislocation at stake if downtown real estate, or commercial real estate in general, suffers a structural drop in value, so I’d expect those interests, along with mayors, will marshal their direct or indirect PR minions to talk down WFH.

Cutting through that fog will be worth it for those parents who, saved from (some of) the commute, have the energy and time to build a better family life.
Sardines are relatively high in arsenic so best to limit your intake.
Ah, I see what you mean. I was aware of those machines. But IIUC they by themselves don't generate accurate enough screws, as the blade doesn't track the material exactly, so errors build up over the length of the screw. Getting those errors out in subsequent generations of screws is the hard part.
I think the problem is the amount of processed carbs rather than sugar on its own. Sugar is addictive but not in the concentration you'd get in a pasta sauce (in a can I assume).

IIRC most western countries are vastly over-caloried, and have a roughly inverse relationship between BMI and income too.

I want to completely disable clipboard management so it wouldn't remember clipboard history (which is a security issue) and wouldn't clear the clipboard as soon as I close the window (extremely inconvenient - I often want to open a window just to copy something, close it and paste that somewhere else). But I could never find how.

If you disable clipboard management on X11 then the clipboard goes away when the application does - that's how X11 works and the whole reason clipboard management exists.

If you don't want it to keep any history but the most recent item, then just disable that.
Try cleaning the pocket lint out of it. Major quality of life improvement for me.
IDK how many more times I have to repeat this before it gets through your head that one warned about the pandemic blowing up before it happened, therefore only one can be taken seriously. You don't need evidence to run away when someone shouts that a bear is coming your way.

Weird, I was just searching for "KN100" two days ago. I didn't find much in terms of "better than a KN95 mask", but it looks like this guy's site was on Page 2.
There's a kind of weird inverse elitism in going to a fine dining restaurant, ordering an expensive fancy grilled cheese and tomato soup combination, and bitterly complaining about it because it's not a can of Campbell's and a slice of American on white sandwich bread.

It's absolutely true that the home-office staff always get the best projects, be in-contact and visible to the executive staff, and are last on the list when layoff-time comes.

This is also true when you're at a home office, and you get acquired, and it becomes a remote office. Your career gets fucked.

I've had it happen to me over and over again; and it's very different when you work at the headquarters.

It's my biggest worry about 'permanent WFH'. It's that I'll end up being like the remote-office nightmare all over again.
Correct, the current title is misleading and incomplete (not matching the original article)
Its entirely consistent with my past scoring on the test:

Personality Probability
INTP 0.319997
INTJ 0.210713

I've always pretty much scored as an INTP with the P/J fairly evenly matched.

As far as MB being scientific or not- they are measuring something persistent, so in that sense it is measuring something durable/real. Whether it is useful or not... shrug.

This is definitely subjective because I love Face ID and haven't missed Touch ID once since I got my iPhone 11. And I loved Touch ID.

Note that I'm in a COVID-free part of Australia so I'm not affected by mask wearing.

> Which I had to revert to an unsafe 6 digit one from my 12char alphanumeric

A 6 character alphanumeric is still way safer than a 6 character numeric. Just pick something you can type as quickly as you can punch in 6 numbers?
The trick there is figuring out how to actually do that compensation in the pre-CNC world. I've seen references to cams used in certain screw-cutting devices. But not a detailed description of how exactly those cams worked or how people were actually measuring the error in the first place back then.

> though presumably that's not enough to machine a better screw, otherwise they'd do that ;)

These days it's probably cheaper to just program the compensation curve into your CNC controller than to actually build a better screw! The really accurate machines often use separate distance encoders anyway, rather than rely on a ball screw that's being stretched and compressed by both load and temperature effects during use.
Bitcoin Should Be 5% of Your Investment Portfolio, Says Fidelity
Planaria live right there in the middle - the muck, as it were. You're still probably correct for the most part, but it's not a binary. It had to have been quite a blend to kick things off in the evolving life direction.
I have type II diabetes, and swimming in cold water (SF Bay, temperatures 50°-65° F 10°-18° C) 3 times a week for six years has not changed my A1c (measurement of diabetes).

No one is "cured" of type II diabetes (exception: gestational diabetes). The best you can hope for is not to have to take meds, but the price you pay is an exercise regimen and an extremely disciplined diet (I haven't eaten rice, bread, pasta, or potatoes in 9 years). I don't take meds.
At a cursory look, maybe, but I'd say there are some pretty fundamental differences between the two.

An itty bitty link isn't self-contained. It does include a base64 string, but that contains some compressed text, which means you'll need a few more tools to actually get the content back if you don't have the site available.

Itty bitty is also just a plain-text editor. No messing around to create HTML.

On the other hand, the URLs it generates don't break the limits of some browser implementations, because it isn't a terrible idea to begin with, like mine.
> Vietnam has the lowest rate of adult obesity yet is the 8th most sedentary population in the world.

I'd like to see a citation for this claim and how it was measured. People in Vietnam seemed much more up and active than people in America and they're much slimmer despite drinks there being sweeter than pure syrup in America.
Thanks! Interesting link.
Not a criticism if the worst you can say about someone is that he is "mean," not that he is wrong.
If you think physical characteristics like aperture size are equivalent to using a tube amp, you are beyond help.
Thanks for the input. Seems like things have gotten a bit better. A few years ago someone I knew said they got around 90k cad for a 115k usd role. Still a huge drop! :(
Without having to listen to 4 hours of podcasts, what was their take?
You are probably used to this rotation just because you grew up in the US. As someone who has grown up in Italy we don't think about food this way, not even regionally. I.e. don't expect a great risotto in Naples or a decent carbonara in Milan...
Lambda does hold onto it in order improve response time. It connects to the database in a handler outside the context of a request, so you do hold onto N connections persistently (at least until the lambda scales down).

With a connection pool, you don’t need to hold onto a connection longer than necessary, but you are right that you could implement it in such a way that you hold it for life of the request.
That reminds me of photogrammetry for environments in games. Sometimes when you take, photos of an environment you include an object of known size and a spectrum of known colours for reference.
I think the downvotes fall into two categories. Some people agree with the renaming, and others just don't care either way. In a subthread about why people might want to move away from SF, "they're going to rename some schools" is not particularly relevant, and comes off a little flamebaity.

My personal opinion is that some of the renaming is a bit over the top, but I'm glad we're re-examining our historical "heroes"; most of what kids read in their US history classes paints an idealized, unrealistic picture of these figures, and ignores real harm they caused, both by their actions and attitudes. Regardless, I just frankly do not care whether a building is named Lincoln High School or John Doe High School. If ditching Lincoln's name makes a bunch of people feel more comfortable, it's no skin off my back.

What's actually important is that we teach the truth, and all of it. When we teach kids about Thomas Jefferson, we should certainly give him credit for the statesman he was, and for what he did to free the US from England. But we should also teach how he owned slaves throughout his entire life and saw no problem with that, and how he was a rich, elite landowner who believed that only a very small, single-digit percent of the population should be allowed to vote. Even Washington, who seemed not entirely comfortable with slavery, owned a slave that was only set free upon Washington's death. And Lincoln... well, his main concern was keeping the Union together. If that ultimately meant allowing the South to keep slavery intact, he was fine with that.

I don't bring all that up to say that they were awful, irredeemable people with no positive qualities. Some of them, if born today, might grow up with very different attitudes. But I think it's reasonable to suggest that quite a few people, especially non-white people, might not be particularly comfortable sending their kids to schools named after these people. And it's perfectly ok that they feel that way.
To each his own I guess.

Austin is nice, but comes no where close to the natural beauty of Colorado. I'd put it 2nd the West Coast.

Texas is just flatness and trees. The rivers are nice though.
In addition to the burger previously mentioned, off the top of my head as "American cuisine" there's obviously barbecue, as well as Southern cuisine, Cajun/Creole, and -- while some might argue -- I'd throw in Tex-Mex and New Mexican (e.g., the state of New Mexico) as gastronomically distinct. Where you find it is, well, all over. You have to do a little research. :) But you can find really well-regarded restaurants around America for those cuisines, across a wide variety of price points.
Guess all those people who had a dream of delivering people to mars, now get to deliver weapons for the military.
Isn’t that for suggesting songs based on search results, or triggering songs with Siri on your phone? That’s not the same thing as using third-party music providers on HomePod.
I grew up there, and really the worst part was that stretch in February where it's overcast every single fucking day.

Then there's the humidity with 100+F days in the summer. And mosquitoes.

The other problem was I grew up in a reasonable, livable suburb, and now, when I go back there, I see that rents and housing are really extremely expensive compared to salaries. Jobs suck (there's no real tech industry anymore). And traffic in the suburbs is constant gridlock wherever you go. It's become a real horror show and I couldn't ever contemplate moving back. Weather/Climate is not even the consideration.
My iPhone 6S+ is still running super smooth. Maybe because I'm not a huge photography buff or mobile gamer, but each year I wait to see something that will finally make me buy a new one, but each year I just don't see it.

I don't know exactly what I'm waiting for, but this wasn't really it.

(Also enjoying using one of the last TouchID iPhones during Covid 19)
Agreed. If I turn the screen off and tilt my phone I can see hairline scratches but when its on I can't see anything so who cares.
I like that observation. We're focused on the end result, and don't see steps we're taking.

For the car example, yeah. At first my car just stayed in the lane, then an update and it could change lanes, next it could choose to pass slower cars for me, then it could go highway to highway taking offramps by itself. And now it stops at red lights and stop signs.

It's not everything or nothing, by the time full self driving is here we'll have already been used to 90% of it and it won't feel like such a big step.
I have been doing this with a SSD between school and home. It worked perfectly if you have a similar hardware setup (which makes the drivers work on multiple machines). You just need to pull out a SATA cable out for desktop computers, but for laptops it is a hustle ( old Thinkpads like x220 you can easily replace hard drive).

One of the benefit is you don’t have to install dependencies once back to home to work on the same stuff.

All of them? Your response suggests that.

I’d counter that many young people permanently leave their “hometown” for financial opportunities that are currently only available away from that “hometown”.

For privileged young folks who are “amenity migrants”, your statement would be admittedly true. It might be a bit classist to extend that assumption to all young people.
I don't think the downvotes here are fair. Drug development is hard. Most candidates never make it to market. This is a vaccine for a virus that's never been successfully vaccinated against.

Expect a majority of the vaccines in trial to fail over the next 6 months, either for safety or efficacy.
Modern ransomware attacks do recon and exfiltration for weeks or months before pulling the encryption trigger.

When using the camera feature of the Google translate app, I got the idea for making something similar, but instead of translating, it would just blur out all the words that a certain person couldn't understand. That way people designing accessible spaces could get an idea of how other people experience the information in them.
Agreed. I'm of the belief that Americans aren't obese because they're lazy or because they're gluttons; instead, I believe it's the food that's killing us. Processed food especially.

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I had to switch to a low-cab diet (which cut out a huge swath of processed foods), and I dropped from 170 lbs. to 150 lbs. in a few weeks. And I wasn't trying to lose weight—it just came off.

Question, are you permitted to view your own results? My company conducts a similar series of assessments for all roles; and as a hiring manager I am able to see how applicants score across a battery of indicators from agreeableness, deferential nature, leadership ability, along with how individuals do in raw aptitude testing.

Became curious one day and asked HR if I could view my scores and was told no. Furrowed my brow a bit at that one.

I furrow it even more knowing the company doesn't expect hiring managers to actually use these scores with any meaningful weight, nor does recruiting actually rely on them during the screening process-or so I was told when asked-they merely ship them direct to the decision maker, forcing me to wonder why we put candidates through them to begin with.

Certainly the common refrain is that giving candidates their results could open companies up to liability if they pass on a candidate, which causes a further reaction on my part "all the more reason to do away with them and find another means of assessing talent. Maybe this is a process that doesn't require the reduction of humans to a few data points and indicators n a scoreboard for the privilege of a friendly career conversation".

My university Japanese class was full of Korean and Chinese international students. It was hard to keep up.
Faux analogies and all they indicate is that apple marketing has won in projecting so much "luxury value" on these things.

The comparison I'm drawing is what do you get out of this that you don't get out of, say, a $200 phone, that is worth paying 5-10x the price. The enjoyment ratio between a vacay and no vacay is way more and hence isn't a suitable comparison. Heck, spending $2000 on a vacation seems more worth it than the phone (to me).

It's a bloody phone. You'll browse stuff with it, do email, maybe tweet and Instagram or Facebook. None of that demands that budget today. Heck it wouldn't even feel different in those apps in the way an Audi or bmw would.

I use a phone that's plenty performant for all of that (and I don't insta or FB), with plenty memory (6gb) and storage (128gb) that I paid $150 for.
But presumably you don't know how good they are at predicting topic D until topic D actually occurs at least once?

Unless the prediction is "this won't happen" and then it continuing to not happen makes the predictor look accurate... (slightly joking here)

The article seems to claim that a specific event, which has never happened, can be estimated accurately. Is that really possible? How can the accuracy be assessed?
My Model 3 is very good, even on badly marked roads: I know it’s sort of fashionable to hate on Tesla’s Autopilot system, but—whatever limitations it does have—I miss it when I’m driving a car without it. And, for this sort of thing, Tesla’s OTA updates are a major competitive advantage.
