When you talk to the butcher once every couple weeks, and enjoy the interaction every time and think “that person is all right”, you have a solid foundation for empathy and understanding. One week you pull up to the butcher shop and see them get out of their car and it has a political bumper sticker different than yours. Instead of thinking “that person is other, an abstract concept that I am supposed to fight against” you might say to yourself “huh didn’t expect joe to be a ___”. But you most likely don’t start disliking joe.

Obviously there are many other benefits of regular friendly small interactions with people, but this one has stood out in my mind over the last couple polarizing years.
well, there's also the audio issues. pulseaudio config for remote use isn't always reliable. but otherwise, yeah xrdp works great for access from machine that already have the client installed.
Uppercasing/lowercasing cannot be done on Unicode code points, because that fails to handle things like ﬁ -> FI where the uppercased version does not consist of the same number of Unicode code points. Slicing and splitting cannot be done on Unicode code points because it may separate a character from a subsequent combining character. "startswith" cannot be done on Unicode code points because some distinct code points need to be treated as equivalent. These are pretty much the same problems you also have when you perform those same operations on bytes. You might encounter those problems in fewer cases when you perform operations on code points rather than on bytes, but you won't have solved the problems entirely.
I’m not so much concerned about it being an open system but rather that it relies on water as a process fluid. Sure running a geyser for 30+ years is fine if all your losing is thermal efficiency. But in this case we are talking about sticking your neck out for 50% efficiencies.

How long before fouling, pump degradation or just simply water sacristy cripples a system like this? Or simply renders it so inefficient to be superfluous?

I’d love it if some of the people downvoting your comment would explain why. For me, it really resonates.

I think a major driver of anti-single-family-home advocacy is simply that the kind of people who become urban planners are the kind of people who personally love the crush of the city and the close proximity of their fellow man. It is also fueled by the interests of developers and, to a lesser extent, social justice advocates.
There is regulation. You have to print a warning on the package when you sell people PCBs at Menards.
The point the OP way back when is making is you can be social in suburban circumstances.

It just goes back to the common theme these days - everything is something or someone else's fault. No one ever just says " man I'm feeling lonely, maybe I should join this club, or start going to this coffee shop and just strike up conversation."

No we have to "blame the suburbs" and "blame cars." No one wants to just take responsibility for themselves, they just want to complain about everything else causing their problems online.

Seems like a nice project. However, I am currently receiving PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR on Firefox. Bringing it to your attention.
We don't stress much about code style etc, because we have a pre-commit hook that complains if you don't follow (most of) pep8. It's extremely unstressful, and makes our code nicer.

I guess it could be different in languages where style is more of a matter of personal opinion.

I'm not convinced added sugar in bread means a whole lot nutritionally. Like any starchy food, it's effectively largely sugar (glucose) anyway. And the added sugar is only a few grams per serving, so if you take the viewpoint that the fructose component is what makes sucrose/HFCS especially harmful, it's not nearly equivalent to downing a glass of juice or soda.
Some great examples there. But let's dissect them a little.

But first, let me just that I had no intent to try to "delegitimize" NC culture at all. If anything I was more trying to just move the boundaries a bit, and insist that it is bigger than that description suggests. I see it as more like some sort of set theoretic thing: any given culture anywhere on earth is a complex set of overlapping previously-existing cultures, gathered from across time and space, and the exact mixture will vary if not inch-by-inch then probably mile by mile. My sister- and brother-in-law live are OBX'ers and from many visits with them combined with a few to friends in the NC mountains, one could scarcely imagine they even live in the same timezone let alone the same state.

Tobacco: a huge piece of the economy measured in terms of dollars, but measured in terms the percentage of the population directly involved in it, not so much. So on the one hand, we have an industry that made and keeps a small number of people very wealthy, and on the other we have an industry that provided nothing more than a regular wage to many others PLUS doing substantial harm to those who smoke, both in NC and elsewhere. Thus ... when a Senator from NC votes on tobacco related issues, I would insist that what they are generally voting for is to preserve the existing distribution of power and wealth within the state.

Now, with rural broadband, one could argue that this goes the other way. Surely, one might say, universal (and affordable) access to reliable high speed internet service changes things a lot, in ways that actually threaten to change the existing distribution of power and wealth in NC (and obviously elsewhere too). I don't think that this is wrong, but I think it's very important to dig deeper into such proposals. Why? Because so often when someone bothers to do this, we find all kinds of nefarious self-interest still at work, hidden under what is almost certainly excellent public policy. Does it matter if someone who is already among NC's "landed gentry" (they would never call themselves that, of course) gets a bit richer while a process that gives everyone functioning Netflix occurs? Maybe, maybe not. I'd just be curious to see how Cawthorn sells this idea to his wealthier donors compared to his more public facing version.

I am not surprised by your reaction to Seattle. As I mentioned in another comment here, most people want to feel part of a group of "similar" folks that is of a size that they can wrap their hearts and minds around. I was reading something this morning that mentioned an area of Manhattan called "Alphabet City" - a relatively tiny area but one that still contains enough people for its residents to think of themselves as living some aspects of life with shared experiences and goals. So this sort of association/community/culture building goes on everywhere and at all times.

I don't think your a hopeless idealist. I think your experience and outlook is probably much closer to that of a majority of Americans than mine.
My intention for the reader is to make them aware. What they decide to do is their choice.
> The CMA will look at the deal’s possible effect on competition in the UK. The CMA is likely to consider whether, following the takeover, Arm has an incentive to withdraw, raise prices or reduce the quality of its IP licensing services to NVIDIA’s rivals.

This is from the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (UK's antitrust regulator) web page [1] on this takeover and captures the key issue precisely.

Nvidia has every incentive withdraw, raise prices or reduce the quality of its IP licensing services to NVIDIA’s rivals because this would help NVIDIA's own products (current and future) and NVIDIA makes a lot more on its own products than Arm makes on licenses.

I'd also add that there is almost no way that this could be properly policed post takeover.

Hindsight is 2020 (ha!).

The disease was an unknown for many months. Blamethrowing is a lazy rewriting of events. And useless. This conservative line of secret superior knowledge is wearying.

Get vaccinated. Stay isolated for 2 weeks following vaccination. Be well.
The difference in sugar content between American and European break itms way bigger then you assume. It is also super noticeable by taste.
I spent months at my previous employer (large enterprise) "remediating" findings from a security scanner. The majority of them were IM conversations with the security analyst discussing why they should be ignored.
You have a misunderstanding about "validate it for accuracy". From the point of view of journalism, this validation only means that you're reporting that a statement was really made by someone, or that a fact occurred as the journalist saw it happening. It doesn't mean that the journalist will validate experiments, or investigate statements made by someone else.

There are several orders that make sense:

It would be good if they split out the naming nitpicks into a separate list. `display` should have been called `display-mode`? Maybe, but I'm not sure everyone would agree and it's very minor. Box sizing should be `border-box` by default? Yeah this is an obvious mistake that I don't think anyone would disagree with, and I imagine is the first thing people set when starting a new project.

No one here seems to have mentioned the Coravin Pivot yet, so I'll do it:

https://www.coravin.com/pivot

It's a lot cheaper than either the regular Coravin or the Eto, doesn't require needles, and works like a charm. It does require rather expensive argon cartridges, so it's not great for everyday use. But for the occasional pricey wine that you're planning to drink over an extended period of time it's a good investment.
I went to an american school that had its own strict requirements regarding hair. male students were required to keep their hair cut short enough so it would not touch their collar and to be clean shaven. repeat offenders would get a (sloppy) haircut from the dean or be required to shave on the spot, respectively. I don't find the hair color requirement to be any more unreasonable, though perhaps it has a racial subtext?
Sorry, but I don't think you're paying enough to deserve someone to spend the time digging for deeper truth. That's the sad reality of modern journalism in a capitalist country.
The delta is pretty obvious, though. Companies that aren't in tech hubs no longer have to hire from a limited local talent pool, and companies that are in tech hubs can save on both office and salary expenses by hiring across the country. I've already seen local companies announce permanent hybrid models due to the former and large Silicon Valley unicorns like Coinbase announce permanent hybrid models due to the latter.

And speaking very anecdotally, where I work we've done plenty of surveys on WFH and the results were very clear: not allowing any kind of hybrid model would've become a retention disaster over time. The desire for at least some kind of flexibility post-pandemic was overwhelming.

To the author of the post, in case you're here: I almost went to follow you on Twitter as suggested at the end of the post, bu then I scrolled through your timeline a bit and saw loads of "Hey @{username}, Thank you for the follow!", and promptly decided against it.

No offense, it's just extra noise and I figured I'd share in case you do want to grow your Twitter following as that's the kind of thing that I'd wager puts a lot of people off of following you.

Neat project, I enjoyed the posts on it!
> why do newspapers charge for a monthly subscription instead of a per-article fee? The simple reason is that the numbers just don't work out.

Is this really true though? Aren't ad prices very very low, how much do those dubious ads pay that appear next to the articles we read? Surely not that much?
Amazon Requests In-Person Union Vote in Covid-Hit Alabama
We don't have a water crisis. We have a clean energy one. With abundant energy we could simply boil sea water to get drinkable water. The biggest problem of the various desalination methods are their energy cost, and this method to reprocess the brine is meant to offset it by extracting commercial value from the desalination residue. While it's great to make desalination commercially viable, we also need to remember our energy needs will not drop.

I have the nagging feeling that the "commercial" part is what we'll need to solve if our species is to survive long term. In some matters, whether its commercially viable should not be a concern.
Didn't downvote, but I'm guessing the casual dismissal of environmental concerns.
...or when "indigenous" culture pretend that integration only works in a single direction-minorities being absorbed into bigger group without impacting any change in "original" culture.
Sure, but how does that help? I mean, absent a time machine, you're technically correct but operationally moot.

Why a fuss? Because some people think their choice to use hard tabs and a given tabstop setting are right and refuse to allow autoformatting tools or even just a hard tab replacement. Or they might argue: sure, the formatting is a mess, but if we reformat the code it will make tracing version control blame logs more difficult.

35 years ago, a friend told me the he and the other guy working on a piece of code would play tug of war with their shared files. My friend would replace tabs with spaces whenever he had to edit a given file, then the other guy would replace leading spaces with tabs whenever he edited a file.
That's trusting an inherently conservative body to take unprecedented steps.

Ultimately, it's trust. As long as the market and economic suppliers believe the Fed might do that, it wouldn't be a problem.

Hence why the Fed does most of its important work through telegraphing rather than policy changes

I'd extend this point from "project managers" to any manager
I wonder that too. Would this be something the W3C would look into introducing some configurable cookie-consent (i.e. "Accept all", "necessary only", "block all" options) that browser vendors could then pick-up on and adopt so that it wouldn't require manual checks at each website visit?
AFAIK, distillation will not remove volatile organics that have a lower boiling point than water(well, theoretically you could do some fractional distillation technique, but its easier to just run a carbon filter).
Also, is not the whole value in using Arm ISA, the ecosystem behind it?
If Apple starts diverging from the standard, then it cannot benefit from the existing ecosystem and neither can a software dev say develop on Mac and deploy to graviton. I think it is big lose lose if Apple diverges from standard.
Worse, you'll have pushed the problematic cases out of the realm of obviously wrong and not sensible to do, into subtly wrong and will break down the line in ways that will be hard to recognize and debug.
I had absolutely no idea this was part of the dress code.

"The ostensible reason for the rule is that almost all Japanese people have naturally black hair, and so they’ll only have non-black hair if they’ve chosen to dye it a different color."

Are there any children currently enrolled in Tokyo public schools that are of say european ancestry with blonde hair that needed to follow this rule?
Yea, they want to get rid of that but need to know more about how to handle it in the lower levels of the OS (mentioned on the github page).
why do your think this the the work of a journalist? If this is important, then we should have some regulation saying how companies need to report experiments.

I think the cookie banner requirements are just fine: they're only required if sites are tracking you. It's a good sign that if I'm on a site that's not bothering me with a cookie banner, it's respecting my privacy: https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/

Making the widespread surveillance that was previously invisible visible (and annoying) seems like a good move to me.

Massive Silver Bets as Treasury Wants More Trillions
Take whatever I say with a grain of salt, but I feel intentions(not to be confused with intentionality) help a lot here. They play a distinctive role in the etiology of attention(and the subsequent process of resilience building), one of the fundamental aspect of dealing with psychological issues. For eg, Whenever you become aware of these nightmares, try to observe the casual chain, eventually your mind will be inured to these episodes and will become much better at threat detection. Something like a mindfulness(Vipassana) retreat can help with this a lot.

My experience has been that most of the psychological issues can be resolved to a great extent by employing the "redundancy of potential command a.k.a Self-Organization"(See McCulloch). Meditation does this by asking you to bring back the wandering mind again and again. But you can also do this voluntarily by repeatedly observing the stress inducing conditions such as nightmare(in your case), which can help your brain better adjust and detect patterns.
Bitcoin was created in context to "Transparency and Accountability": a campaign motto not coincidentally found in the title of the "Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006".

> The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (S. 2590)[2] is an Act of Congress that requires the full disclosure to the public of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2007. The website USAspending.gov opened in December 2007 as a result of the act

Sen. Obama's office is the origin of this bill; which was fronted by Sens Coburn and McCain, who had the clout.

https://usaspending.gov/ creates a mandatory database with budgetary line item metadata. Where money actually goes is something that is far more transparent and accountable with bitcoin and other public ledgers than any existing ledger covered by bank secrecy laws.

For context, in 2008-09, global financial systems were failing as a result of the American economy: housing bubble burst, HFT "flash crash" that we didn't have CAT or big data tools to determine the cause of, DDOS attacks and cyber security losses increasing YoY, credit default swaps had been rated as AAA securities (they sold bundled bad debt like it was worth something, and then wrote down losses), Enron energy speculation amidst rolling blackouts that were leaving hospitals in the dark, on gas generators, government investments in renewables had been paltry since the Carter administration had put solar panels on the roof of the White House before the whole oil price shock, and oil commodity speculation had driven the price of oil to like 2-4x the 2000 price (with resultant price effects on most CPI inflation/PPP basket goods); but electricity consumption was down in 2008 and renewables hadn't reached production volumes necessary to reach the competitive price point that renewables now present: cheaper than nonrenewables.

Who would have thought that the speculative price would continue to exceed the production cost. incentives or penalties?

Externalities per dollar returned per kWh is one way to assess the total costs of electricity production methods.

"Buy Gold" was the refrain of the day: TV commercials, signs out in front of piano stores (a somewhat-arbitrary commodity, sales of which are observed to be a leading indicator of economic health), signs on the road. And the message was "take your money out the market and put it in gold" which drives up the prices for chips and boards and medical equipment that rely upon that commodity as a material input. Gold is necessary for tropical spec components in high-humidity environments: gold hinges are prized, for example.

But, "look, there's water flowing from the chocolate fountain; so you can go ahead and go" and "you know you want to put it back in there, in that market" we're the appropriate messages given our revenue at the time.
Brilliant. Looking forward to this new documentation technique for irreplaceable treasures.
I have a bit of trouble elucidate my discomfort with a similar arrangement. I explicitly signed up for 8 hours a day or so of "work". When I'm "productive" (how do you accurately meausre this) in 3 or 4 and then do other things; well that sounds like a "silent contract". There's no transparency there. If I was in the office tooling around or socializing, at least there's an implicit understanding that this is "ok". Maybe I'm being too naive.
ARM makes their money by licensing the design to other huge companies, who then integrate the processor with other peripherals and manufacture it. They have no interest in extracting money from the end user, instead the documentation is readily available. In comparison, Nvidia, for example, sells you a video card, then you have to pay them again for a license to do deep learning. Oracle requires the end user of Java to pay a license to use the JRE. The fear is that if Qualcomm or Nvidia buy ARM, they're going to turn ARM into a similar business model where they try to nickel and dime the end user for everything.
Doesn't that leave a bad taste in your mouth? How many other products do you fear will stop working if you say something critical of the manufacturer?
