> American politics has long since ceased being about policy and idea's

I don't know how anyone can say this and be considered a serious person.

One American party denies climate change, downplays COVID19, tries to take healthcare from millions, tries to disenfranchise anyone not voting for them, limits legal immigration and asylum seekers, and refuses to admit there is a problem with systemic racism.

But by all means, remain "apolitical," since apparently this isn't about policy anymore. Wacky stuff man...
There is law and there is justice.
> No. Unless you're not familiar with Lisp-1 vs Lisp-2.

Just because "classical" defmacro is mildly awkward to use in Common Lisp and much more so in scheme does not mean that the only viable alternatives are R*RS style hygienic macros. Look at how e.g. clojure does it, it has a simple and perfectly adequate solution (a concise gensym notation, basically). As far as hygiene is concerned. Not so much in terms of generating good error messages.

In my experience selling similarly priced durable goods (firearms), it was always price. Having a brick and mortar presence with employees and inventory costs a lot more than drop shipping from a distributor.

Yes, but spun in such a way as to frame not interfering with the status quo as the middle position to opposing it and furthering it. (Just to be clear no deliberate response is neutral here)
Bitcoin Security: Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat [video]
Many boards have working distros, lots of software already ported and dedicated people in forums willing to help newbies; the problem lies in that "on par". The Raspberry Pi foundation can put some good money where other boards would rely mostly on enthusiasts. That's the point: with the Raspberries you get their Raspbian/RPiOS, while other boards manufacturers usually don't offer comparable quality distros, therefore it is often much better to use a 3rd party community produced distros.
So, on par? No. Good enough? Yes, definitely.

Google, which is not known as a bastion of right-wing thought, will indeed match dollar-for-dollar donations to the NRA. Up to a threshold, just like it does for any other charity.
"Effectively" is ambiguous to me.

It could mean "in actuality" or it could mean "kind of but not really". "In an effective manner" vs "virtually".

I agree, and this leads into a wider point about political discourse in the modern era.

To me, as a person who doesn't live in America, the US has gone absolutely crazy over this idea that policy doesn't matter so long as a person is on my team. This is an indictment of the media who have failed in their job at keeping the public informed in an unbiased manner, reducing complex macro-economics and geopolitics to catchy headlines and gotcha-questions.

Is my country any better? God no, most of our media is just a budget version of the American model, but it is America who infected the rest of the world with this.

When policy and idea's become the most important part of any election, that's when you can start addressing real social and economic problems like homelessness, LGBT rights, wealth disparity and the loss of jobs to offshoring manufacturing, because you'll have more time to discuss these things like adults now that politicians aren't reducing their job to 140 character hot-takes.

A while ago somebody suggested all video submissions should be accompanied by a brief summary. I think it's a good idea in principle, just not really sure how to describe what I just saw. I'll try:

In a very traditional Russian countryside setting, there is a farm equipped with all kinds of futuristic gadgets cyberpunk-style [1]. As we take a tour of it, in the end we find out the setting is something else altogether. (And it's much more interesting than it would seem from this description.)

Not sure who made it and for what purpose exactly, I guess it has something to do with the much-anticipated release of the Cyberpunk 2077 computer game.

How can a set of headphones replicate the experience of hearing and feeling sound through a set of speakers?
Sitting in front of a set of speakers is a totally different experience than wearing headphones. With a decent set of speakers, you can feel the sound. There's some nice headphones out there, but they can't replicate the way some good bass feels through a set of decent speakers.

I can see the comparison system working alright for some things. It's just not a replacement for listening to something on hardware and if I were out to spend some money on a good set of speakers, i'm going to want to listen to them in person first.

I’d feel much more strongly about companies having policies asking people to stay out of politics if this meant money could go nowhere near politics.

If we allow
the money from those who control that money to be used as cudgels to sway politics, how can anyone imply with a straight face that the lowly employees can never speak about politics?

How cheap are you talking about? Because from what I've seen that's not the case.

Most monitors hit sRGB. Easily. Unless you're talking sub $100.

The differentiating factors today are high refresh rate or HDR where the DCI-P3 gamut is the gamut to hit.

sRGB is almost like expecting a car to have electric windows.

There's a HDR certification for displays where HDR 1000 is actually real HDR.

I am pretty sure a lot of those was just taking the opportunity that presented itself.

Very cynical take assuming retail is zero-sum. It could also be helping you find the products you need at an opportune time, increasing the value for all parties. Or based on purchase patterns, they're able to stock inventory more accurately based on predicted purchases, and save on storage and transport.
Three things:

if online has enough real value it will stay

if just enough, long term sufferings will happen then it will be removed

otherwise people will reopen things they need (just like vynil and newspapers)

>it's hundreds of towns worth of sidewalks.

Yeah you're really not getting this. I'm not trying to be rude but you seem to not be understanding what I mean at all.

>Twitter can evict you from an audience bigger than Texas with no other way to reach them, and your argument is that a monopoly on Texas is only 10% of the country.

That's not my argument at all, the argument is that if the private company had only owned 10% of the sidewalks in town, the court would have ruled that they had every right to tell her to distribute her materials elsewhere(it explicitly says this was the reasoning behind their decision). It was only because one private corporation literally had a monopoly on sidewalks in the town that the court saw differently.

>And you as a speaker can't use the Facebook sidewalks instead of Twitter unless they had all the same people walking on them

But they do have the same people walking on them...

>If you want to reach your entire audience, you have to use both at once.

This is a bit of a catch-22, no? Your 'entire audience' is everyone that you can reach. If Twitter objects to your content, they can bar you from their (relatively small, to point out the analogy again) share of 'sidewalks', but there are still a vast number of other sidewalks 'in town' that you can advertise on.

>Twitter can evict you from an audience bigger than Texas with no other way to reach them

Who are these people that Twitter denies access to the rest of the internet? You are perfectly capable of reaching anyone who uses Twitter through another social media service, or setting up your own website/newsletter/Discord channel/podcast/blog/etc.

Really nice way to visualize the generative nature of the pictures.
a major problem is that teachers are using these "crambooks" too when setting exam questions so basically you get a leg up when you study from them vs the official coursebooks.
you'll literally see the same questions there so obv it's easier to study from that than from the coursebooks

I have had them for 30 years. They last on average three years. Three areas of failure:

(1) The black plastic hooks to the watch bands fracture. Superglue doesnt seem to last.

(2) The watch band tears. I duct-tape it sometimes. But that is temporary. If I have some bands left over from the other failures, I can replace it.

(3) In high humidity states moisture sometimes gets into the works and shorts the electronics for good.

Just buy another. If I see a clearance sale for $10 or less, I'll keeps a spare. Targets doesnt seem to have casios anymore. But Walgreens and Walmarts does.
Most notably HDR standards which (usually) specify a newer wide gamut not covered in the article and a wider luminosity range that has to be thought about separately. Cheap displays in cheap devices has always been a thing, particularly for LCD panels over the years. If anything I've seen cheap LCDs tend to get better over time not worse but that's just an anecdote.

A good example being the Allies declaring that they wouldn't accept anything short of an unconditional surrender.

You can imagine how Germany reacted to that.
That makes sense. Part of my process is having people listen through to the interview and let me know where they get confused. Then I add in explanations there. The explanations mean people don't get lost if they don't know what punch cards are or fortan for instance.

I also think there are many straight interview podcasts and I'm trying to do something different.
There are likely lots of second-order effects here, so it's hard to tell.

The engineers may have been better rested and thus able to deliver more quickly and reliably thanks to a sense that they had an effective peer support group.

The eventual product quality may have been higher thanks to the additional oversight, review and input - leading to increased market demand.

The support, stability and resulting confidence offered to employees may have spread via word-of-mouth to their familities, friends and extended networks, increasing marketplace faith in the company and trust in the product.

And, perhaps the simplest albeit least thought-provoking explanation: perhaps the additional 40% engineering salary overhead did not have a significant impact on the company finances.

Actually no, it has nothing to do with Cyberpunk 2077. It's just a fun project by a few people from several Russian VFX studios. Here's an interview with the guy who led the project (sadly, only in Russian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuOUqIY0P2g. They say they did not expect this to go viral, and there will be more along the same lines, for YouTube distribution. In their opinion this won't look right in the traditional "movie" format.

It also pokes fun at Rogozin - there's a portrait of him on one of the barns with a slogan "Let's turn the Red Planet green". For those who don't know - Rogozin leads Roskosmos.

The "robots" are actual farm workers, on a real farm, BTW. CGI is added later. That's why they're wearing long-sleeve clothing. Hands are difficult to replace after filming.
$900/day is $225,000/year.

Or about $112.50/hour.

But this is what your company pays as Corp-to-Corp, to his company.

His gross pay is significantly less. Maybe at $65/hour. So his annual pay might only be $130,000/year.

And while this is decent pay, for middle class wages, it is not really very impressive.

"Safe" appears one time in this article and is here, in a block about why mRNA vaccines have to be kept supercold:

> Modification of the mRNA building blocks and development of the particles that can cocoon it relatively safely have helped the mRNA vaccine candidates. But this new class of vaccine still requires unprecedented freezer conditions for distribution and administration.

I would say this article doesn't address safety really at all.

It's better to see this as a conscious attempt to correct sexism than as sexism itself. It's a blunt instrument, to address a blunt injustice that occurs at all levels of society. Just because you aren't all men, doesn't mean you haven't had advantages that women are denied.

It's just that these advantages are normalized in the system, so they aren't as apparent as the corrective measures. It's really easy to miss them, just like, for example if you play a shooter on an easy mode first, you don't necessarily know how it would be harder.

That said, you want to talk to your director or learn about your career? Email them and ask them about it.

I can’t imagine the balls and levels of patriotism these men had. If caught their deaths would have been incredibly gruesome, and almost certainly would have involved their extensive torture, and murder of many other prisoners.

I hear this argument a lot for acts of valor in war. The counter to this is imagine what would happen to the hundreds if not thousands of lives if they didn’t act.

It’s a mental game you play.

>This. I cannot understand why so many people here want to "ban politics" from the workplace.

What 99% of people who want to "ban politics" from the workplace mean is that they want to ban progressive politics from the workplace, and more specifically any effect of progressive politics that would lead to negative consequences for their own politically incorrect behavior or views.
The bike business is funny, right? It's one of those businesses where you really need to find your niche in order to succeed. If you think you're gonna survive off a franchise store or something in a strip mall, you will die. Some models that I've seen weather online retail are either going after a captive audience, such as commuters in a city, MTB shops here in Santa Cruz or they cater to super, super high end customers that are paying for an experience (La Biciletta/Blacksmith in Toronto). Lotta shops make up for retail on service as well, but yet again, that requires the captive audience.

In regards to dirt cheap OEM parts from Europe, that's largely stopped. Most of those online retailers won't ship Shimano groupsets to NA anymore and while you can find good deals online, I tend to see them being sold from US-based companies. In any case, with the way manufacturers have shifted away from standards, being your own home mechanic has gotten prohibitively expensive, with the need for various presses and extraction tools, etc... I tend to see many more high-end factory bikes on the road than bespokes and forget doing your own suspension work on modern MTBs...

It is better not to put business logic into data model - in order to:

1) Keep your business logic simpler.

2) Keep your data model simpler.

If you put both business logic and data model in the same class, then:

- When you investigate data references pointing to your class -- you will see references noise from your business logic.

- When you investigate business logic references pointing to your class -- you will see references noise from your data model.

3) Combined "business logic + data model" class is much harder to refactor.

So, technically, you can combine business logic and data model in the same class.

But practically, such code combining will significantly complicate maintainability of your code.
We went full dark mode when we released the 2.0 version of our app which has PDF and EPUB support:

https://getpolarized.io/2020/10/05/Polar-2-0-Release.html

the issue we had was that we were using a CSS filter like other commenters mentioned.

The problem is that it inverts images too and pdfjs doesn't actually specify which parts of the document are an image as it's just writing to a canvas.

My plan moving forward is to fix pdfjs so it can invert natively and the actual canvas is inverted so that images won't be inverted.

I think figures would STILL be a problem though.

EPUBs are much easier and we're not inverting there because we can see which one is an img.
This is the core of my own development: seeing the world and life in this world (or even beyond) as an unbounded game rather than a zero-sum game. A lot of times it's the perspective that matters. Maybe at times when we are overly focused on the "how" of optimization and lose sight of the "why," the human mind/body/soul becomes unable to metabolize it, and flips out.

That's a fine question. I don't know you. You might well be impervious to advertising. And if so, you'll gain a dollar.

But I know the average person is NOT impervious to advertising. Quite the opposite, since ww2 billion dollar companies have risen based entirely on the fact most people are very susceptible to advertising. And every year, advertising gets smarter, more specific, more common, more aggressive, more tailored etc.

So you'll have to ask yourself: are you smarter than the average bear?

Or rather, are you smarter than Googles billion dollar bear hunting machine designed to catch bears that are too smart to be caught by any other bear catching machine? And are you smarter than it is, even though you gave it all your data for a dollar? And instead of a dollar, you settled for free email and tailored autoprediction to save you typing...

Sometimes the smartest thing to do is admit you're not THAT smart. I know I'm not.
