Thanks! Just watched the film (on Wikipedia).

Oh the vileness, the violence. I'm now completely convinced marijuana is the devil's lettuce! Don't just tell your children, TELL EVERY CHILD!

EDIT: to add, people, watch the 1938 release, the 36 has poorer image/sound quality.
Technical debt is a co-morbidity. It's not necessarily the thing that kills you, but it increases the chance problems becomes fatal.
Hey! I saw it on WPSteam that day! Thanks for posting it here for the whole community. Will help everyone a lot!
The market demands this stuff. If human nature is to be lazy, fat, desiring instant gratification, and blaming everyone else for their problems, then someone will fulfill it.

I wrote a “hot take” above and am exaggerating, but I truly feel like the world we live in now makes it so easy to avoid discipline and hard choices. So those that accept that getting nice stuff takes effort and discipline will earn great dividends.
As any standardized way to store data, password managers and provider clouds have become target for pirates.

With 2FA instead, the password is less valuable than the 2FA secret token and its backup on different device to not get locked out.
Wikipedia disagrees. Example: "In 1996, a federal jury ordered the city to pay a $1.5 million civil suit judgment to survivor Ramona Africa and relatives of two people killed in the bombing." The police commissioner was also forced to resign.

If you can find me a new EV for €6k that goes up to 90km/h with 150km range (any weather, reliably, and for at least ~5 years), please let me know I'll come pick it up today and pay cash.

Last I checked, everything is north of twice that amount unless you omit the battery. I'd be willing to pay more for something amazing like an Aptera, though not super much because I'd simply not get enough use out of it: it won't ever beat taking mass transport to work, also because on mass transport I can relax before/after work instead of driving, so it will only ever be for weekend trips to my (girlfriend's) parents, grocery trips, etc. That's also why 45km/h electric cars or scooters are not worth it, they'd just replace local trips which I mostly do by bus anyway.

I'd also be happy with second-hand, but I have no idea about maintenance costs as I never owned any vehicle other than bikes. (I do have a driver's license and regular driving experience, it's just that I borrow what I'm driving.)
Not so much Rome as the entire Mediterranean has swapped genes and cultures a hundredfold for thousands of years being the trade hub between Europe, West Asia, and Africa.

I also feel like I'm reading a bunch of coded statements with some of these comments in here.
Being good at acquiring power seems at this point fully a function of intelligent PR which divorced from the myriad skills required to govern effectively. Neither Bush nor Trump did much good with the great power offered them.
Some will say it was just to spite George Bush, but I remember the atmosphere at the time and that wasn’t it. Back then, being the first black president was a big deal, and Obama’s campaign inspired a lot of hope for the future in many Americans and the world. Hopium levels were still high when he was awarded the prize and the doomsday clock I believe even went backward a bit, remember that when Obama was a senator he worked to secure loose nuclear weapons around the globe.

Unfortunately, things started taking a more sinister turn as the years went on, so it seemed the prize had been given too prematurely.
If by the ridiculously overloaded and value-judge-mental word 'addictions' is meant repeated behaviors that some people don't approve of, no doubt we all have have at least one.

I have several addictions. I like to call them 'reasons to live'. Music is one. Some people may wish I'd be cured of my addiction to breathing. In which case I wish the same for them; we'll see who wins.
Aren't most other vitamins readily available in foods? That seems like a lot of supplements to worry about.
Theory of Simultaneous Expanding and Contracting of Universe
I thought maybe the Universe could be both "expanding" and "condensing/collapsing" at the same time.

For a simple conceptual model, imagine a large area (e.g. out ring of universe) that is continuing to expand outwards. And some inner ring that is contracting back towards the center. And an area of ring in the middle which can be imagined as relatively neither expanding or condensing relative to radius from center.

We can imagine such a time above. First, at time, t0 of big bag, all particles are moving outwards. At some final time, tf, we can a future time such that these particles would have returned to collapse on itself back to the big bag center due to gravitational force.

Furthering a simplified, conceptual model, if particles are expanding, then velocities would be slowing down as you reach further out into space and r, radius increases. If in a region where collapsing back to center, then its velocity increases, as you reach closer to center.

As one interesting point of this model may show how a previous acceleration calculation of the universe expanding turns out to be greater, for example, than previously thought depending on such location within the universe. This may also explain worm hole regions of space as well as black holes (e.g. areas of such stretching).

I wanted to share this in case it has any potential merit for someone to pickup, or at least to hear from anyone. Thanks!
So what about computer programmers?
I asked this before and apparently in the US you can find 5000IU pills. Here in Canada all I could find was 1000IU and I take 5x of the pills instead.

It still does the job, I presume.
This could also explain the higher Covid death rates for Blacks in the US, while Africa has relatively lower death rates

Being honest about doing terrible things is not a virtue.
Ah well, I can clearly see you've got the "I hate Obama, he's responsible for everything bad" goggles on. But I guess I say that through my "He was trying his best" goggles.

> Or as the BBC referred to it, "the worst mistake of Obama's presidency".

Is that in this article where Obama admitted that himself? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36013703 . Unlike Bush/Cheney who never admitted anything? (But we're not judging these men for their honesty at the moment, are we).

> Despite destabilizing Iraq, the US military stayed on the ground and at least attempted to create a stable transition of power (and over time largely succeeded, at least by comparison).

Huh.. and you're asserting that Obama didn't continue that policy? Sorry but Iraq didn't turn to a peaceful and solved problem in 2008.

Seems like you're just throwing sweeping generalizations and one word answers to complex problems ("Libya"), and sadly I don't know the whole issue in depth either.
If you turned up to interview, or even worse, arrive at a client site, and they hand you a mouldy 80386 to work from, and point you to the basement, would you feel comfortable?

Jira is the mouldy 80386, and the client's culture is that basement where such things belong. I can't see how this is even being precious. I can find solid work on good teams with smart people anywhere, there is no reason I need to work in a basement permanently damaging my lungs.

Lame analogy, I know, but it's close enough.
Agree about pyenv. It's the best solution by far. Don't leave /home without it.
Hmm fair point. I still feel with Pac-Man etc. the points roll on an odometer you look at the end, it's not a popup prize every time you do something right. But there's plenty of early examples, such as SMB's "1UP".
Everyone gets positive anyway like in France, even in lockdown situation.

Being positive on a covid test doesn't mean you'll get sick.
>Transparency of the situation (or allowing outside observers) would have given the rest of the world valuable weeks or months and saved untold lives.

You think foreign governments who didn't take the virus seriously after seeing China's response to it would have taken it seriously if China had told them to?
The story’s now gone.
Thank you for the explanation. Don’t know why my original posted warranted such vicious downvoting for what seemed like a legitimate observation.
That's a kind of a… difficult comparison. The 6S was right when Apple shifted from chips that were highly competitive to chips that were ridiculously overpowered.

If you're making a point about 5-year-old hardware being still useful today, I think you need to reference typical 5-year-old hardware. The 6S was weird (albeit in a good way).
> * Both push and pull backups are supported -- pull backups (initiated by the server) don't need any agent or client software installed (except tarcrypt if encryption is used)

Nice! Sounds like you can configure it so the client machine can't destroy all the backups? That's a feature I've wanted in backup software for a long time but haven't actually seen.
Delimited Continuations as Exceptions
I wish I could answer this, but I really can't. Not because of any NDA, just that I don't know. I wasn't involved with the workstation team at Pixar (or ILM at all); I was part of the Network and Server Admin [NSA] team, specifically focused on OpenShift. There are a lot of tools that Pixar use that I don't have the full picture of how they work together.

Here at Blue Sky we are in our infancy for thin client based work. Remote terminals aren't too new as they were used for contract workers and artists who needed to WFH on the prior show, but we don't have VDI as we still use deskside workstations. For COVID, the workstations have been retrofitted with Teradici remote workstation hostcards and we send the artists home with a VPN client and zero client, utilizing direct connect. It was enough to get us going, but we have a long road ahead in optimizing this stack and eventually (if our datacenters can handle it) switching over to VDI.
or be more creative. think of technological advancement so rapid that a less numerous generation can still be more productive than the one that preceded it.
There is no recommended dose without knowing your current blood levels.

Get yourself tested - if you're severely deficient start taking large doses (3000IU - 5000IU or more) for a few weeks, get yourself tested again and then adjust.

If you're not deficient just keep doing what you're doing.

I'm not really all that partisan. I'm mostly center left. For the most part I'm convinced that all politicians are self-serving idiots.
All of these criticisms I'm levelling have come at this administration from both sides.

If there's any blinders, its the fawning treatment he received form the press for largely doing nothing or worse than nothing. Notice how much more criticism has come at him from the left since leaving office.

He's an adored president with an abysmal legacy. I voted for him, by the way. I'm vocal with the criticism because I feel I share in the responsibility for what happened.

> Huh.. and you're asserting that Obama didn't continue that policy? Sorry but Iraq didn't turn to a peaceful and solved problem in 2008.

I'm not saying that it was, but we and our allies already had troops committed in the region. If we'd left, we would have been leaving our allies holding the bag.

I was comparing Iraq to Libya, where after we removed Gaddafi, we didn't do shit. That situation created all of those other things that I mentioned.
In USA 5000 IU is pretty easy to find at any store that sells vitamins. This is what I buy all the time.
Lol, thanks, that was from memory which is, of course, imperfect.
I was surprised that there was no mention of the COVID tests from the WHO and why the US did not make use of them.
Are you (or any of the parent comments) noticing anything after supplementing? As arguably a hormone I'm curious if there's any experientially observable effects from high doses.
Yes. A certain group of people chat amongst themselves and decide what will give themselves and the award the most prestige. If you want the right kind of people to show up at your cool awards party, you have to give the right kind of person the award. That's not sarcasm, that is literally the process. There's no objective measures or anything.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so dosing daily isn't required (the excess is stored and not excreted in urine). The 5k and 10k IU pills are useful because you can pop a few on weekends (or whenever you remember) and don't need to build a daily habit.
Because it's really hard for your body to absorb, unless taken sublingually (or maybe with a fatty meal, given it's fat soluble).

All that matters is your serum level. 800IU may work for you, but you may need several times that. Best to just get it checked. People feel better at different levels, e.g., I seem to feel best around 35-40 ng/mL.

Check out Dr. Rhonda Patrick (@foundmyfitness) on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc815fQn8iY.
That’s very old news, it already hit >$34k.
There is evidence to say that the recommended dose is much much lower than what is beneficial.

Plus if you actually do OD, the symptoms are very apparent and treatment readily available.

Also to OD I think you need a LOT more than 5000 IU a day.
In a conventional war, "this weapons system works perfectly after we completely dismantle their air defenses" sounds pretty similar to "this works perfectly after we win", IMO. And, theoretically, the F-35 can be used for operations before that happens, which is part of why they're being put into service.

Not to mention "this plane works fine if we get the Navy to do the hard part first" is going to go over well with a rather limited subset of Air Force personel. (The Air Force has wild weasels too - generally F-16s though I believe the F-35 is planned for that role in the future)
Not sure why this is downvoted either. GWB was viewed the same way as Trump by social media (I agree the mass media was more muted than under Trump). He was regarded as “dumb” much more than Trump with every minor gaff amplified as evidence “our president is mentally handicapped”.

Rinse and repeat with Trump, who arguably has a better track record at least in terms of starting wars.

If you take a step back from how US politics works in the media (mass media and social media) you realize it’s just a complete clown show. Any one who gets their “news” from those sources is just along for the ride.

Its not just my opinion, UK government has brough forward it's ban of fossil fuel cars to 2030 from 2040 because they've done the research and found that it would geberate savings for the overall economy.

Consider thay the gas station is just the tip of the iceberg, it comes with an underground cistern of flamable liquid, trucks for delivery, complex oil refinery, pipelines and tankers. We are talking about literally hundreds of people working to keep a gas station pumping.

You are weighing all that up against one-tine installation cost of sinple cable and sockets? They need basically no ongoing maintenance, and car batteries are perfect for dumping excess power from renewables, and long as they are connected from prolonged periods - something you won't get out of a carging station approach
I don't think those things are opposites. I don't exactly do personal OKRs, but I'm definitely working towards goals. To hit some of those goals, I build habits. And to build those habits, I carefully track how well I'm doing on that.

E.g., I had a goal of being more fit. I wanted a habit of daily exercise, so I set a target of 10k steps/day. My current streak is 33 days, but I'd say the habit is still forming. I'm going to shoot for 2 months and see how strong the habit feels then.

I do agree that bad metrics are terrible, though. My sympathies!
I agree. There were some typos that shouldn't be there. I have since fixed a few of those and hopefully future blog posts do not suffer from this issue.

The intention was to sincerely share my experience.
Another French Study Looks Into The Use of Nicotine Against Covid-19
Each time I come across articles like this, I always keep seeing them including the Facebook share button + Google ads littered all over the place whilst they track my every mouse movement, mouse click, keystroke and web pages I click.

And then they say this:

> All of this action has been a long time coming and while it’s difficult to say exactly how it will play out, the bottom line is that the tech industry is – finally – going to become a regulated one.

Yet the new administration appoints the same tech executives from these companies. The outcome? Regulation for the rest of us and not for them.
I wouldn't say I was addicted to Phone to start with as my job involved interacting with phone all the time, but after I had to shutdown my startup due to health issues I made some deliberate lifestyle changes which has reduced my phone interactions to negligible levels/day and some of which can help overcome phone addiction too.

• Notifications

I have a smartwatch mounted to my desk[1] which displays notifications as an when it arrives and since most of the notifications doesn't require urgent action; interaction with the phone can be avoided. Of course this can work with smartwatch on the wrist too, but having it mounted on the desk limits interaction with the watch itself.

• More email

My primary mode of professional communication has been email for past two years. No voice calls, No chats, No video calls just email. Avoiding real time communication has improved the quality of communication and my mental well-being in general by reducing anxiety.

It does cost me several business opportunities, 'Sorry, I don't do calls, can we communicate via email' has become downright insulting especially during this era of 'Zoom'. But that's the price I'm willing to pay for better mental health.

Fortunately email remains the last pillar against 'Mobile First' ecosystem and environment amidst several attempts to change it.

When the availability of a smartphone is taken for granted from education[2] to COVID-Free Passport, using cellular connectivity is passively mandated (Mobile Number for unique identity, OTP[3]) I don't think it's even possible to someone to throw away their phone without some serious regulations mandating that freedom.

Developers pay a lot of money to have the privilege to become a part of the Apple ecosystem.

The least they can expect is customer service and actual conversation with the people that decide about their livelihoods.

That may not have been the case here, but being forced to rebrand as an indie app developer can be pretty hard on your userbase/potential reach.
You mean places that had the least to offer to any kind of migrant from the West during the period of European imperialism are also the least diverse? Setting aside the complicating factor of the West African slave trade as a factor of population displacement, color me surprised. This whole diversity thing just fell out of the sky over here.
Having dealt with this at some scale.

Simplicity is everything. Skip the encryption - seriously. Or do what Microsoft does and send the keys somewhere you can absolutely get them (bitkeeper can be forced to backup into AD).

You want good access control and fantastic ability to recover. Your transfer will be over a secure link.

I did the client side encryption. I'm not convinced it's worth it or I have secrets so important that I need to worry about someone at AWS reading my S3 bucket (which has its own encryption).
64 MHz is a bit too low, but I think being in that range is the right choice to make, even ignoring cost concerns. The Pebble Time had a 180 MHz processor, and I think as a smartwatch, it was a much better product than the Apple Watch.

When you have a powerful processor like the Apple Watch does, your power draw is pretty high. This is why the Apple Watch only gets 1-2 days of battery life, while the Pebble has 7 days, and the Apple watch just got a display that is always on, while the Pebble has had a always on display since day 1.

As usual, Richard, you are using a misdirection tactic. I said leadership inside and out of the OSMF, yet you are pointing out /one/ person, rather than the whole or the majority of long time leadership such as Frederick Ramm, Andy Allen, and the huge influence of MapBox, through multiple individuals.

But sure, let's focus on one person.
It really does depend on the management and environment of the company as you’ve stated. I might be more cynical about this, but I see it more likely that management would just leave the project at the prototype stage, release it, and move dev resources to other things.
> The better you know a language, the more tempting it is to take shortcuts. When you don't know a language well enough to write really gross things that work "for now", you have to think carefully about the simplest possible solution to a problem that you can express clearly in an unfamiliar language.

This has not been my experience. Much of the worst code I've run into was written by engineers that were new to a language or framework (including myself).
