I'm truly surprised that companies have not made better use of their "striver" engineers or compensated them enough to keep them striving. The people in charge of running businesses are somehow not interested in these things.
I too was ghosted by Stripe, and this was only about a month ago
I agree consumer market doesn't exist because everyone is seduced by the cloud nowadays. Having said that supposed guarantees provided by these companies should not translate into blind and complete trust.

A single bad bug or security issue can make data inaccessible or corrupt. Tapes on the other hand does not have that issue. IMHO trusting all your important data to a single vendor or technology is a recipe for disaster.

Robotics. In my opinion the cyber-physical is clearly the next frontier. I think people stay away from the field since it is quite interdisciplinary and requires a lot of additional knowledge and effort.
What about when you move to a different country and your parents can't come with you like so many Indians, Chinese, etc? Are the parents of those children who found new lives in a different country going to want to give up everything to follow? They don't even know the language.

I do the same, but I just have a single '*' in my .gitignore.

The only drawback to the homedir-as-git-repo approach I've found is that you're always in a git repo, so you have to be careful not adding stuff which was really supposed to go in another repo.
oh I mean "reminds me of” as a term including "sounds like"... and was just copying what I think of as Murakami's style and some of his common tropes such as pasta, cooking, strangeness in mundane situations.

If you're interested in reading, I reckon it's safe to read his books in chronolgical order. You can see how his style and preoccupations develop over the years.

The first story I read was "on meeting the 100% perfect girl one April morning" out of a short story collection called "the elephant vanishes" which is not his first book. I was in a bookshop in early 2003 and just randomly looking for the shortest thing I could possibly read and this story got me hooked on Murakami. and then I think after reading that short story book the next thing I read was "hear the wind sing", his original short novel. And then "pinball 1973" and then I think "Norwegian Wood."

I like his sort of loose universe how similar characters and types of characters and tropes kind of return but the the recurrence is not necessarily central to any of the particular stories they're just kind of like motifs.
The problem with the Micro nowadays is that it's very very hard to find one at any kind of reasonable price. I suspect it never sold that much, so the supply of units in good condition is very low, and hence stupid prices on eBay.

I've bought myself a modded original Gameboy Advance with a modern backlit IPS screen and it's a marvel, absolutely love this thing. Spent a small fortune re-buying all my childhood games for it just so I can play them again. And yes, the form factor is nearly perfect.
I'm not the person you responded to, but here are my thoughts...

Keep in mind that the context of my original comment was with respect to having "premium" devices. People pay thousands of dollars for a Macbook because the hardware and the software feel very high-end. The UI/UX is generally seamless. Stuff "just works". There are regular updates. Any software written for MacOS will work on any other Mac, because the hardware/software integration is so tightly controlled. Is it perfect? No. Are there things Linux does better? Sure. But taking the entire Apple ecosystem into account, it feels cohesive and thoughtful, and it feels like it's worth the money.

Contrast that with Linux. With many Linux distros, it doesn't "just work." The OS itself can change very often. The software ecosystem is fragmented. You have to use apt or yum or some other package manager. Sometimes you need five different package managers to install the software you want! On top of that, you can't necessarily run all Linux software on every distro or any hardware. There's little to no UX/UI consistency. As someone else pointed out, Qt vs GTK apps can and do look totally different and there are no style guides or any enforcement mechanisms to make sure that users enjoy the experience. It's the wild west, which is good in many ways, but in the context of making a device feel like a premium device, a wild west methodology fails that criteria pretty hard.

In other words, Linux is fantastic for computer nerds like us who like tinkering with things and don't mind rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. But it is no way, shape, or form a "premium" experience.
Millions of dollars have changed hands on this site for nothing more than the right to put your name on a tile of a map. The desperate search for yield caused by a low interest rate environment causes these types of speculation to thrive.
Hey, so, quick question... if I'm not debating in good faith, how do you explain my total lack of downvotes in this thread, and your multiple downvotes? Seems like someone understood what I was saying and agreed, yeah? Maybe I'm not the problem.
Companies seem to feel the need to change products because....... “change is good”.

Which means features will randomly get added/changed/improved/descoped/deleted.

That’s what all the software developers are doing ..... changing things.
I maintain that the prudes want to keep cannabis illegal because unlike with alcohol most people don’t suffer from a cannabis hangover so there is no penalty for indulgence.
Volvo is European too.

The part we should be worried about is that it took 9 years for the govt to require it. 50 years from now, we'll be talking about how stupid it was that drones didn't have safety features.
I don't think good hygiene is achievable in practice – some phishing websites are extremely deceiving.

I wouldn't bet on myself, a technically capable professional, being able to distinguish some of them, especially in a planned attack: for example when trying to login to a dashboard after being woken up by a page middle of the night, I might not notice a homograph attack.

TOTP is better than SMS, both are better than second factor, but it's a great idea to mandate U2F/Webauthn if you can.
Correlation does not mean causation. I'd actually be very surprised if fixing the hair addressed any correlated heart disease. The hair would be a downstream symptom, almost certainly.

I'm a doctor, if that makes a difference.
Not just non-technical people. As a programmer, I don't want to send a significant chunk of my free time figuring out, configuring and then maintaining something.
Is the internet in Australia really less reliable than airline on-time performance?
That must be a formal legal term, although it is certainly appropriate:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/alimentary

"Of, or relating to food, nutrition or digestion."

"Nourishing; nutritious."

(At least the first part; "extruded alimentary paste" would be a more precise description of noodles.)
> Standardizing things at such scale would limit the implementation of new web technologies as sites have to wait for the overloaded browsers to catch up with their new technologies each time they invent something new.

Isn't this the state we're already in, given that most websites still use jquery, and the websites that don't use babelified codes for decade old web browsers?

My argument was meant from the user's perspective of an Adblocker. A user doesn't know what an included script from xyz.paypal.com/what/ever.js does. But a user recognizes PayPal as a service, and knows that they want to pay for something.

> web browsers are an intimate part of our lives (...)

This kind of contradicts your own argument, because Web Browsers as they are built right now don't give a damn about anything and will happily execute any code from any malicious website.

The only project that somewhat pushes this state (or default behaviour) forward is WebKit, and Firefox sometimes keeps up with how third party trackers are handled.

I don't know how you perceive this as taking control away from the user. I wanted to offer a button that says "Enable PayPal" and a concept that disables everything by default.

A user that doesn't understand the concept of uMatrix is a user without control, that will just enable everything anyways once websites stop working due to lack of understanding.
In some of those photos you can see the ethernet port. What I remember of the time period is that most consumer machines didn't have an ethernet port. I bought quite a few PCI and ISA ethernet cards back in the day for this reason.

It's easy to forget now that this feature was a little radical for a consumer machine. Modem sure, but ethernet? Consumer broadband was still on its way.
Formalism as you describe it is an abstraction that we invented to help us model stuff. It's not more true, or more accurate, or strictly better than any other abstraction.

The fact that design and systems and law and economics and philosophy and etc. etc. are ultimately squishy and informal is actually a reflection of the truth. Down there at the bottom of everything? It's humans. Subjective, emotional, informal humans. That's the baseline. Use formalism where it helps, absolutely, but don't trick yourself into believing it's a better way of being, of doing. It's not.
Glad to see more work in the 'stable memories' camp win out against the 'the brain is too stochastic and therefore unstable' theories. As a complement to this work on short-term memory, here's one of my favorite papers on long-term memories!

Why is it that cannabis grown at higher altitudes is more desirable?
Nice! I was thinking about coupling it with a thermal printer.

Line editors like ed make much more sense when used with a printing teletype, which is what the RPi 400 would be with a little printer attached.
In a mini server farm like the one we're running at work you could stick one on each box and run htop or something along those lines. Cool for a sys admin to have a status display of each physical box's htop graph at a glance.
They do, but your SO would probably like to spend some time with you as well.

Myself, between WFH, my wife and my 18mo, I get about 1-2 hours of personal time after they both go to sleep, and half of those times I'm too tired by then to work on anything.
It's human-hard level
I used to do this for macOS and Linux but it was a fragile approach, since using Nix and NixOS I've had great success using home-manager[0] which takes care of what software is installed and any overrides or patches I desire.

I also use GNU stow in my dotfiles[1] especially so that my setup still works on systems without Nix installed.

The question was about transit, though. You could still lock your computer if unattended and require a password for your keys.

With the goal posts having shifted to someone gaining full access to your powered on, unlocked device, we have arrived at XKCD 538.
social justice issues. I'm waiting for a computational model of government so we can question and improve these models without violence. It seems that (in America at least) politics is so tightly woven into a person's identity that to question their political beliefs offends them personally. Thus we languish without being able to critically think of better forms of government/politics.

Also mental health issues (which is closely related to human rights issues). After watching Medicating Normal, I've lost hope in the psychiatric/pharmaceutical system. Why are there no better solutions to depression? It seems to be affecting a large number of people.
Razer quality control is a joke and I would not consider them a good manufacturer of anything.
Top Highest Paying Technology Companies in 2021
Seattle briefly allowed microapartments, before single-family home owners fought back and got them killed again. You can see one here: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/apa/d/seattle-apodment-su... $900/mo for 198 square feet. Kitchen sink, but no stove/oven. You do get your own bathroom, at least.

Feeling a little agoraphobic with the above floor plan? Don't like those vast sweeps of empty space? No problem, try $875/mo for 147 square feet: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/apa/d/seattle-apodment-su...

Carefully examine the bathroom photos. No sink! You wash your hands in the kitchenette. Easy enough, when it's three steps away. (After all, where would you put a bathroom sink? The entire apartment is the size of an RV.)

One upside: if the landlord gets on your nerves, it would be real, real easy to move out. A one-backpack apartment.

That's the importance of regulatory harmonisation. Eg your laptop charger is probably covered in 20 different indecipherable logos showing compliance with every countries regulators, all of whom have standards at least 99.9% identical. The EU has harmonised regulations internally in order to make completely free trade work, so a single 'CE' logo is enough to show compliance for the entire EU.

Regulatory harmonisation is controversial though, especially here in UK. No matter that its usually boring stuff like agreeing fire retardant coatings on soft furnishings, the newspapers insisted this was a breach of sovereignty. Expect a new British safety standard (identical but with a different logo) to join the pack.
`3 <= a <= 5` expands to `3 <= a and a <= 5`. However, based on the examples NumPy seems to require `&` instead of `and` - I’m not sure why.
CIA vs. Wikileaks [video]
Super agree. Its either "I'm bored out of my wits" or "i'm exhausted with my kids"

Folks with more time and energy on their hands have managed spend it all on a broad variety of rabbit holes.

Folks with kids have managed to wither whatever minutes were left away, looking at the other group's reports on their rabbit hole expeditions

Both, together have managed to give google enough confidence to double their ads and disable the "skip ad" buttons on youtube.
"230 square meters" is about the size of the average new home being built in the US.
I agree. How can mental health issues like depression be affecting so many people, yet all we are settling for as a solution are pills that don't even work that well, haven't been studied in the long-term, create a long-term dependency, and have unholy side effects??
In the early 1990s I stumbled upon a book about hemp. It made bold claims. Like: the original Levi's jeans were made of hemp. Cash bills were made of hemp paper. You could make clothing of hemp in qualities comparable to cotton, even silky ones. It would grow extremely well, in many climates and would need little to no fertilizers or herbicides. As an oil seed it would have a higher yield than canola/rapeseed or sunflower. It would be amongst the fastest/ highest yield biomass producers. It would improve soil quality in traditional crop rotation. And it had been used by Elisabeth of England as a pain medication against period cramps, and would be helpful to chemo patients against nausea and pain, and benfitial for other long term pain patients, like some quadriplegics, also because of its few side effects and being free from habituation effects.

But, the book furthermore claimed, it's a direct competitor to wood, cotton, petrochemicals --- and: despite, so the claims, having no lethal dose and being non-addictive to psychologically stable adults, it was convenient to declare it a criminal drug.

I couldn't believe what I read, but the book presented itself as scientific, with tons of quotes.

So as a curious student I went to my universities library, and randomly checked out quoted articles and books, three or four from each chapter. Dozens of them. Old stuff, from the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s. Some even 18xx. And few recent ones, for the medical section. Mind you: we were talking about a "dangerous substance", a horrible entry level drug. Contemporary papers about canabis were hard to find in the 1990s.

And every single quote I picked was correctly quoted. Every. Single. One.

There sure are some who benefit from having canabis sativa prohibited. If I was running a private prison, for example. Or if I wanted to suppress cheap workers and keep them down, low and cheap. Or, as the hypothesis of the book goes, if I was in a competing industry, wood for paper, fire wood, cotton for clothing, plant oils. Or pain relievers or other medical synthetic drugs with overlapping use.

But whoever benefits from prohibiting canabis sativa, it's not us, the people.

The book in Germany is in 43rd revised print now:

Die Wiederentdeckung der Nutzpflanze Hanf, Jack Herer, Mathias [Bröckers]

I found an English title by one of the authors, but I don't know to which extend they are comparable: The Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack [Herer]

The German one, [Bröckers], is quoting tons of German publications, it's for sure not just a translation.

Bellingham is a great choice if interested in outdoorsy activities too.
Did you benchmark with layout randomization?

I've been on a mission to start my day earlier than both my SO and LO. It's been a resounding failure.
Is it my US-centric news, or are the vaccines really getting distributed to the US much faster than other countries. I know one was approved in the UK recently, and Germany hasn't been happy that a vaccine they helped develop hasn't gotten approval there, yet. There is the Russian vaccine, but I haven't seen any peer-reviewed results.
I'm not sure that's strictly true. It may be a lesser hangover or of a different nature but anecdotally there does seem to be a next day effect. I understand that over-indulgence usually leads to falling asleep rather than the significantly worse outcomes seen in casualty/ER on any given Saturday evening or need years eve.
I agree. The question to ask is "how do you boil those problems down to computational problems?". Those problems you've listed are broad but solutions to subproblems would go a long way. I'm surprised this hasn't been explored deeply yet.
> monolith vs. microservices? Which is actually better? ... the resulting non-answer people come up with is: "Depends on your use-case."

But that's the truth of the matter. _Neither_ is "actually better" without qualifications.
My only complaint about the pluto system is it's use of strange extended ascii characters.
Dream job to spend hours and hours in a plane? Then more hours clearing customs? Thanks but no thanks.
Regulation isn't made just by health/safety perspective, but includes cultural, social and others.

For example, Katsuobushi is the core part of Japanese food but it seems that exporting to Europe is difficult due to EU regulation. Another example in Japan would be K-car.

As a Japanese, I never want to give up Katuobushi for improving health. I suspect that maybe oppositely, European people also has food or culture that banned from other country .

Yeah, it's pretty tough, especially the older you get. You need to find people that are also looking for friends, it makes it much easier. A good opportunity is to look for language exchange or expats groups, local people are always very welcome in my experience since they are rare.
Apparently there're problems with overloading this. In pandas it is between(left,right), so they also didn't find a way to get it done properly.
> If the Defence Production Act really ends up being used we could see the US hit herd immunity in 3 months.

We've had so much time to ramp up production that using the defense production act would just confuse things. We were actually producing vaccines before they were approved in order to rush this out.
Looks like the Github is here: https://github.com/buttplugio

I expect we'll see some interesting issues posted there eventually
The point isn't whether the word "alimentary" means anything. You probably know related words like "alimony." (Tangentially, the humorous novel Through the Alimentary Canal with Gun and Camera is a surprising early precursor to Fantastic Voyage and related stories of microscopic explorers inside the human body.)

The point is that calling any food product "alimentary paste" is hilariously unappetizing.
My intuitive understanding of these findings is that short term memory works by maintaining a consistent firing pattern in a particular region of the prefrontal cortex. By default a given firing pattern might activate other patterns because neurons tend to be a part of multiple potential pattern groups, and so left unchecked it could result in an unstable, random walk type of sequence. To stay in the attractor of one memory though, inhibitory neurons are used to turn off everything that isn't a part of the memory, thereby allowing it to remain in a more steady state.
There're two ways to walk it around in the comments here: friends link and archive.is

2Mi is a great number. But it is less than 1% of the US pop

These things take time. And those are the more complicated shots, waiting for other cheaper/easier to store vaccines ends up being a necessity

Some places are better than others within Europe. It isn't one homogeneous region.
I believe those are magazines on the left. (This photo appears to be Book Off, a popular second-hand bookstore chain).
Maybe I come from a different direction, lots of data. If you do any functional programming on these you are creating new lists/vectors (the type) left and right. To me this is the gist of functional programming. So when I started the article, I was wondering how would you do that in c++, well his answer is you shouldn't. So when you are saying it is just one thing for me it is like a car without an engine (also only missing one thing). (the other thing about functional programming is the widespread use of recursion, but this is not even mentioned in the article)
> Humans have a long history of dishing out lots of money to be parts of strong communities too

I think this is the reason Crossfit got so popular. People could go every day, see the same people, compete against them, etc. Definitely more expensive than a regular gym but offered more than just renting time on equipment.
That behavior does make sense in the context of Javascript.

> {a: 1, b: 2}['c']
undefined

> {1: 1, 3: 2}[2]
undefined

If you're arguing that JS objects shouldn't be like that, you do have a point. But taking JS basic semantics as a given, I don't see what other behavior you would expect.

I don't know about the US but within the UK you have to pay a premium to live somewhere where you aren't car dependent.
"Based on current schedules, the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that there will be enough doses of COVID-19 vaccine available in the United States to vaccinate 20 million Americans by the end of 2020, 50 million by the end of January 2021 and 100 million by the end of the first quarter of 2021, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said in a press call on Dec. 9."

Disks and pads wear out. I haven't done the math, but I assume you could put in a big (wine bottle sized?) power resistor that can take the thermal cycling more or less indefinitely.

You'd have to cool it, as other commenters have pointed out (you're putting a car's worth of kinetic energy into the thing, after all). I'm not suggesting that it's a good idea, just possible.
