While MS Word does have Reveal Formatting, it is really not a good replacement for Reveal Codes. It's a clunky way to see isolated formating for a short portion of text. For example, how to search for all places in the text for a font change, or margin change, or section format change. It's difficult to also show where certain formatting starts or stops.
Under WP, you can instantly scan the entire document looking for those changes. Not so with MS Word. That being said, RF is better to compare 2 sections of text to immediately show their differences.
Indeed, you are correct (at least about being ran by the incumbents):

> AlternativeData.org is supported and maintained by YipitData and sources its content from hundreds of contributing investors, data providers, and industry professionals.

It would make sense for this to be aimed at data consumers rather than data producers, considering how the advice is, honestly, unrealistic.
Except for the train tunnels themselves which are only double tracked instead of quad tracked
Yea, we're arguing symantics. My apoligies. The word "permaculture", nowadays, is, in my circles, a big umbrella word for many different systems. Many of those systems would not necessarily call themselves "permaculture". A big umbrella - "permanent agriculture", or agricultural practices that do not degrade the land, but rather can run on for millenia, there are many systems we are now discovering, some ancient, some newly synthesized, that have that potential to feed the world, while, at the same time, healing past damage .
While I technically would agree with you the problem is the US calls itself democracy. This behaviour is not a free democracy.
I appreciate that you can turn off all of their additional features pretty easily.
Anveo.com isn't free, but it is cheap, and replaces Google Voice for what I needed. The call flow stuff is cool.
> Two way runs & proper filming are an important factor if you're trying to decide who gets the piece of paper but there's nothing 'official' about it.

The FIA, which sanctions all land speed record attempts, disagrees: Two runs, in opposite directions, with no more than 1 hour between the runs.
This sounds fairly similar to "Why Many Cities Have No Money" [0]. In short, building massive infrastructure for the future is worth very little when the promised future never comes and you're stuck paying the maintenance cost.

Anyone using any of these email services? I'm not looking for a workplace product, I just want to be able to get myself out of Gmail reliance and gradually get my family away from it too.
Certain states are now adding this to the curriculum. The problem is that it falls under social studies and history teachers are in charge of teaching this, and they are largely under prepared.

I am actually trying to solve this problem over at https://www.getmedes.com/
That seems disingenuous towards their (paying) users. I guess their never promised "music neutrality" but still ...

Funny as they also also announced price raises last week, talk about winning on both ends.
Yes.

Thanks for the note on BLUF: I didn't know it was a thing. [1]

Even if a piece of writing isn't BLUF, we can read it as if it were BLUF. In grad school we were taught that the most efficient way to skim journal papers was to read in this order: (1) abstract; (2) conclusion; (3) if still promising, skim parts in the middle.

For my qualifiers I had to pound in excess of 100 somewhat dense papers in 3 weeks on a subject outside of my specialty. I would never have made it if I had read each paper in its printed order.

Nice, it's probably using the USB gadget functionality. That probably means you could modify the image to access a bunch of the ports. Having the ability to turn my Pi Debugging Keyboard into a USB Ethernet adapter would have some advantages.
In the past, whenever I read the word 'racist' or 'sexist', it was an alarm bell, signifying that there's a good chance someone was in the wrong. Nowadays, whenever I read the word 'racist' or 'sexist' in an article, I replace it with the words, 'something outside of the bounds of what the author finds politically acceptable.' I don't do this literally, of course. It's just that the words are thrown around so much that it's become little more than a political version of calling someone an ahole. It signifies the author has strong feelings toward the situation but I assume that the author is just as likely to be in the wrong as the person whom they are labeling with that epithet. It's not in any way anymore an alarm bell like so many people think it will be.
> You could let the user pick between the two options, I guess.

If both options are likely to be extremely undesirable to a substantive fraction of canceling users, that's the best option.

If there was a most-likely-safe option from the user perspective, choosing that by default and having it confirmed would arguably be better UX, but I don't think "keep everything that used to be private and make it public" is really a "clearly-safer option". Nor, even in the cases where it is safer, do I think that this presents the confirmation well.

> But really, most everyone cancelling something like this needs to go through their stuff and decide for each item: "Keep, but make public" or "Delete".

Some people do, but I bet lots of people have collections that very easily fall into either "Delete all" or "Keep all and make public" by the time they cancel (if only because they are only canceling after everything to which that decision wouldn't apply has been migrated to an alternative service.)
Word suffers from the case that it needs all features for all users accessible at almost all times (despite most people only needing about 20% of it at a given time). Word actually has a great "Focus Mode" if you can find it (among other ways to get to it there's a button for it in the status bar these days).

I wrote most of a novella in the iOS version of Word last year for NaNoWriMo, mostly because I really liked Word's OneDrive-based sync to make sure I was always up to date no matter which device I used and that I could reasonably trust offline sync in the rare cases where I worked on the document on multiple devices "in parallel" because one was offline. The iOS version defaults to "Focus Mode" and that eventually pushed me to figuring out how to get the right "Focus Mode" settings on my desktop to get a similar writing experience, which turned out to be easy when you knew what you were looking for.

I think it's all another reminder that it isn't necessarily your tools, but how you use them and how familiar you are with them. In a nutshell that is most of the discussions here, use what you like and if a 30+ year old word processing tool meets your needs, wonderful. On the flipside, the modern tools aren't without their merits and there are similar familiarity tricks to using them that maybe just take a bit a seeking them out or learning them.
I highly doubt the terminal velocity of any production car is even close to the top speed records in discussion here.

I’d argue that the advertisers go where the audience is. If people would stop using search, advertisers would lose interest in Adwords.

I use Harvest for time tracking and its partner application Forecast for planning work ahead of time.

For invoicing I take the Harvest time tracking, export to Tiime.fr (my accountant uses it and I get it for free) and generate the invoice there.

Harvest + Forecast + Tiime (free) is only about ten bucks a month.

As for when and how to invoice, I mostly do retainer work and send invoices at the end of the month. For some hourly work or project work I bill at the end of the project or when I judge the amount of the invoice is worth bothering the accounting team at the client about.

Thanks. So, Punjabi must be one of those rare languages that is written in two entirely different scripts by roughly equal population sizes.

Are there any other examples of such a language?
There are many creative commons videos on Youtube, and certainly downloading those is within the intent of that license?
Honestly, for me, the hardest one to replace is YouTube. I think the best I can do is to create an account specifically for it + use firefox containers.
Agreed. I really wanted to try Google Cloud, but having my servers disappear overnight is a different ballpark from having my email history deleted.
Isn't music one of the easier ones to replace? Spotify, apple, many others.
The few unions that do exist in the US are surprisingly powerful.

European unions are either dying with dwindling influence (France, Britain, Italy), or just a proxy for social welfare and compensation negotiation (Germany, Netherlands, Northern countries).
Wave ( https://www.waveapps.com/ ) has an extensive free tier for accounting and invoicing because they monetize through optional payroll and payment processing.

Sure but one you fix in your product by having a grace period for accounts that are closing. The other you can't fix because once something on the internet is public you can't undo it.
I switched to gmail in the early '00s when I was a kid after previously having an email on a friend's private server that he decided to take down. That was back when Google only offered POP email. That was back when Google was only an email service and search site. Luckily I was an Apple user however and haven't migrated my personal photos, data storage, and many other things to Google.
Is it really? In my experience the overhead for salaried software developers working for contract shops is greater in both raw amount and percentage that that.

This was 10 years ago but I knew developers making $60/hour in salary while being contracted out for 3 times that amount.

I can highly recommend FastMail. This is the exact scenario I was in, and it has performed far better than Gmail in almost every aspect.
Interesting that a browser designed to block analytics has built in analytics. Is this enabled by default?
No idea why this is being downvoted. Does anyone here like the X86 ISA? Sure its been made fast, but that's been quite an uphill battle against things like its complex instruction decoders and limited decoder parallelism. If the same engineering had been put into making ARM fast, ARM would be far faster than X86 is today.
post-viral fatigue syndrome, myocarditis, and other complications are actually very common complications for viruses. Pneumonia is miserable and can take a long time to recover from.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/...

>In the UK, where it is (often incorrectly) known as ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis), 150 000 people are said to be affected. Other terms used for the condition are postviral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) and chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS). Symptoms may begin suddenly, sometimes after an acute viral infection, and commonly include incapacitating and persistent fatigue, muscle aches, joint pains, weakness after exercise, headaches, swollen glands, digestive disorders, inability to concentrate, memory loss, recurring minor infections or low-grade fevers, depression, an increasing sense of being unable to function, sleep disturbance, light sensitivity, food intolerance and environmental allergies.

I hadn’t seen the magazine, but this looks like a great idea to keep abreast of current and curated activities. Thank you for that pointer.
The next obvious upgrade is to make the pi-400 headless, right? Why have wires at all? It should have a rechargeable battery like most keyboard/mouse combos do.

Then you just plug it in to charge it and every other perf connects via bluetooth or wifi.
A group of trees is called 'a wood'. And while it's really hard to have a forest without trees, it's really easy to have a bunch of trees but not a forest. The apex tree species in a forest don't come until much later. They are in many cases the tree that grows in the space left by the death of a tree that grew in the space left by the death of yet another tree.

Your friend had a field full of pioneer tree species. Those trees stopped his field from being a meadow (a badly, badly damaged meadow) but they have to die to make way for the real forest building species.

For instance, a pioneer tree dies. A hemlock, which likes to grow on fallen trees (nurse logs) takes its place. When the hemlock grows old and dies, your old-growth species might establish in the same spot, or it may wait to replace whatever grew after the hemlock.
Considering that they moved from 15" to 16" by reducing the bezels, moving the smaller laptops to 14" would be the logical conclusion. Screen estate is precious, especially in the smaller machines.
I would be totally in for a 14" AS Mac :)
I am in the same situation: Roughly at a time where I moved to a new house I decided to loose weight (133kg). In 2.5 years I lost 40kg, for 6 months I stayed in a plateau, then in the next year I regained 20. Since two years my weight is more or less stable.

Today I am, like you, not sure why I loose so much weight, why I had a plateau, then why my weight went up again.
Why isn't Amazon a "Raspberry Pi Approved Reseller"?
It's a matter of scale. $200 laptops are great if you can produce thousands of them and have a market willing to buy them. That's why Chromebooks sell so well. Let's also not forget that Chromebook/Android devices enjoy the subsidy provided by Google's advertising division.

I doubt the Pi 400 with a screen, battery, touchpad and integrated webcam would be able to sell in numbers that would justify the manufacturing and distribution costs.

Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to read and engage with it!

I think you're right. I've mentioned this elsewhere-this is by no means a high percentage play, it just may be more likely than most other things we can do. You could have a reasonable shot if you just convinced 150 nba starters this was a great idea. That's a number one person could call.
As the technology improves, it will become disruptive and enable average people to join the ranks of Hollywood actors, directors, music producers, and vocalists. The future isn't A-list celebrities and grammy winners, it's people like you and me.

Just my two cents, but acting is not as simple as wearing someone's face. If deepfakes make me look like an A-list actor, that alone will not get me a lead role in a big budget movie. I would still require acting skills.

No, they really mean it. Even if you write it in double bold and highlight it in orange and make everybody signing read it out loud first, you can't enforce terms that aren't legal.

For example, in the US I believe it's pretty common for renters to be obliged to pay for or fix up normal dilapidation of the property when they leave. But in the UK it's illegal to require that for residential property. If you rent out houses in the UK, you're going to be paying to repaint them every few years, replace worn carpets, and so on, because the law says the tenant doesn't pay, and if you add a clause saying "Actually the tenant agrees to pay anyway" the law says your lease acts exactly as if you didn't add that clause except now you also lose the right to get courts to enforce your lease because it was illegal and you lose certain other protections because clearly you're an abusive landlord. So bad luck you made things harder on yourself.

Ambassador Labs is solving problems for cloud native developers in the Kubernetes space. We are looking to hire engineers that care as much about empowering developers as we do and have embraced the cloud native phenomenon that is taking over the world.

As a team, our focus is firmly on products that help users make the shift to the cloud with Kubernetes. We’re most known for our flagship product Ambassador and are investing heavily in other rising stars like Delivery Accelerator, Developer Portal and Service Preview, and Kubernetes Initializer.

You’ll work in Golang and Python because our products comprise multiple services and those services are written in various languages (the best language for that particular task).

More specifically, we’re looking for engineers with Golang experience and real-world application of kubernetes in professional environments! If interested, please send a resume or linkedin profile directly to christycassels@datawire.io.
I've fit a weeks worth of groceries on my bike pretty easily. Between the rear rack, the panniers, and the trailer I can haul a lot of groceries. But you are right that it's a good idea to have at least one car in a family. Especially in the US. Although I would check first that it isn't cheaper to get a rental or a taxi when you need it. The only reason I still have my current car is because it's already paid for anyways and doesn't cost much to keep around.
I'm putting the kids to bed so don't have time to dig out any figures of interest, but my wife caught covid back in March, was OK but pretty ill, but then moved into the long covid phase and was wiped out. Heart rate all over the place and terrible numbness and loads of other rubbish. A full body scan showed issues with her heart function back in August, which is only just starting to recover now, a 'low ejection fraction' and other bits I forget. Latest scans show improved function but nothing like she should see at her age or fitness. This time last year she was lifting 47kg in the gym and working out 4 days a week.

The long term studies showing what you are asking are only just starting to show results - but everything we see so far shows that this is causing more issues, in more people than flu.

Also of note, a partner of my wife's friend got covid (positive test) back in April with only light symptoms. Just got it again (tested again) and is very ill this time - had to go to hospital but wasn't kept in. So immunity might not be what we think.
Architecture and Psychology and Psychedelics
hello community,
im trying to take a new frontier regarding design with psychedelics aka psycholgy/consciousness and merge it with architecture aka built unbuilt spaces, im rather intrigued by the fact that psychedelics has alot to offer than just party and good feelings, any guidance will be much appreciated.
points im looking at are:
1) how a physically built psychedelic space ( structure built or unbuilt) would affect our minds to expand
2) where to look (i have experiences but humbly id say i dont know much)
3) what to focus on while building it and as users of architecture aka buildings/homes/gardens/roads/everything around you to feel like.
4) are you ready to feel the change around you to grow ahead?

every person, wise or not,anxious or not, dull or bright, ignorant or open, welcome to answer these questions or advice on the same.

thank you in advance

Is there an advantage to passing a file descriptor? What's the workflow in this case, the daemon runs with privileges and passes the fd to a process that's entirely separate and was never started as root? What would passing fds provide that forking + dropping privileges doesn't?
