Do you realize that anyone can make a cli tool with whatever syntax they like? :) Also, see "man xm", which uses quite similar approach. And there are probably many other examples.
I will say that learning about and monitoring my HRV after getting a smart watch has been useful to monitor stress and trends. Like with anything though, I've had to try and not self-induce more stress watching this number continuously ha.
I am sorry you are going through this. Thank you for sharing.
Marketing is important. I did have people ask me if there was any point to learning Perl 5 when Perl 6 was just around the corner, and people buying the butterfly book instead of the llama book for the same reason.

Then the Python people did the same mistake. Beginners learned Python 3 and then had trouble with App Engine or some other platform. The most popular question in Python forums for many years was if someone should learn 2 or 3. Some probably just went with Go instead.
> The problem with suburbs is that the maintenance is more expensive per capita

This is the kind of thing people parrot because it sounds nice. But unfortunatly, this isn't actually true. Suburban maintenance is usually cheaper per capita than urban ones, in the real world.

Cities tend to need higher-quality infrastructure, which drives up costs. (Cities bury power lines in conduit underground which is expensive, suburbs string them from sticks in the air, which is cheap. Cities bury storm water drainage which is expensive, in suburbs a ditch in your yard is all the stormwater infrastructure needed which costs almost nothing, etc). So even though suburbs have less people-per-foot, the infrastructure costs are drastically cheaper despite the per-foot distances being higher.

The electric company can string up a neighborhood of 50 single-family homes (trunk and individual line replacement) without much fuss or trouble, just two guys and a truck. But the logistics to run a brand new power line for a brand-new apartment building with 50 units in it in Midtown Manhattan is way more complicated, time and labour intensive. (They might have to close down a sidewalk or entire street, they have to dig up chunks of the road, check for a dozen other things buried underground, the buildings are so close together they need to know the foundational stability of every other thing nearby, etc)
Salk's polio vaccine wasn't distributed at cost price, was rolled out over years rather than months, and quality control issues meant thousands of vaccines with improperly inactivated virus actually caused polio in patients. Things have changed since then.
As much as I've liked the company of coworkers and been friendly with them, I've never had a coworker friendship 'stick' after they or I leave for very long.

The longest was a guy I used to meet up with at dog parks so our dogs could play together, or meet for a pint sometimes, and even that is looking like it's probably not going to stick.

The longest lasting friendships for me have been friends with a shared hobby. Like I have a lot of friends that are really into board games. Except for the pandemic it's been real easy to maintain those friendships, just organize a game night.
Government is not an effective tool for societal change in democracies because, by definition, they require society to want those changes. For instance, although homosexuality has been a political issue for decades, gay marriage was never legalized until a majority of the population supported it. Private enterprise provided support for "significant others" long before this happened. Private enterprise is on the leading edge of many changes today: How many genders can you identify as on Facebook? ...how about at the DMV?
Anyone have a robust filtering system? From reading the thread some people recommended a reverse osmosis system. But then that is demineralized which the WHO says leaches minerals from the body.

So one ought to remineralize, and do so in correct proportions, for both calcium and magnesium but also trace minerals. And certain things sometimes recommended to reminerslize (pink himilayan salt) can contain lead.

Is there some simple all on one system in north america that solves this?
Don't do this. Industrial argon isn't necessarily clean enough for food-grade purposes and may well contain unknown / poisonous substances. You should know better than to make hazardous recommendations.
I remember that shop. Was there a “Circuit City” there as well?

“Good for society” is a con, and you fell for it.

These companies (and/or their investors) squashed[0] a project to find other possible COVID-19 vaccines through human challenge trials.

These companies do nothing to increase general health awareness, instead advertising “magic pill for X” directly to consumers.

These companies finance a TV news industry that does nothing but harm to public health.

They are as much to blame as any other player in this mess, and now they’re making billions selling a pathetic half-solution. It’s disgusting.

Closed source software will not attract talented developers unless a lot of money is poured in to it. It is okay to have closed source, but its not okay to take the contributions of the open source and then later make it closed source.
I have 4 screens on my desk. From left to right:

Vertical oriented 1080p: chat windows, sometimes replaced by multiple command line windows.

Horizontal 4K: Emacs, Visual Studio Code, Browser with repositories/jira, command line windows.

Horizontal 4K: Browser with documentation, secondary VS Code windows, Outlook, Teams.

Macbook Pro screen: Finder, calculator, more command line windows.

Most of my "main" work takes place in the 2 horizontal 4K screens. The other 2 screens are "secondary" information. Having that much screen real estate allows me to more easily collect and arrange the information I need to do my job.

If I could change anything, it would be getting a 24 inch 4K screen to replace the vertical one, and having a higher refresh rate than 60Hz on all my screens.

I hope that one day 8K screens become affordable, because I'd love even sharper text. Reading on the vertical 1080p screen seems fuzzy compared to the 4K screens. (Which is definitely a "first world problem"!!)
I gave their Rust bindings a try, but they still have work to do to even match the manual work that has been put into the winapi crate. I can say from experience is long, tedious, and error prone so it will definitely be better to be auto-generating the bindings.
This article is funny as the author seems very upset about misperceptions, although everything in the post shows that Japan is extremely homogeneous.

Even 93% is an extremely homogenous country and showing a few example of famous Japanese people with diverse backgrounds doesn’t change the fact that they are rare.

Doubling from 1% to 2% in the Japanese census doesn’t mean that Japan isn’t homogenous, it just means it is changing.

Maybe a better concept is that Japan is changing to be less homogenous over time and in many decades it could be as diverse as its neighbors.
Requirements and time to work. January 20th at noon was the absolute-ish deadline, but when did the work begin? Was it November 4, or sometime later given the lack of concession from the previous administration?
When I was learning Python 6 years ago I was the only one using Python 3 in my group because I use arch linux. It was very basic code and everyone basically solved the same problem. Everyone else's code didn't work on my machine because print is not a statement in Python 3.

That's just plain stupid. Just print a warning and add a python2 flag that hides the warning. Don't release a major version because of something trivial like this.
One challenge I've found is it gets harder to sleep long as you get older. That coupled with knowledge work stress staring at a screen all day makes things doubly hard.
AFAIK Sweden does not collect such information either. Norway does, however.
Even in static languages, if the syntax error is in something that will be reflected/eval'ed, etc (which in many languages includes regexes -usually not validated at compile time-).
No, it’s the same language but with different semantics around a specific type. That’s not a different language and code can co-exist with a bit of thought.
- Exercise, not too late in the day.

- Do not eat or drink anything but water at least 3 hours before when you are going to bed.

- Do not have screens in the bedroom.

- No screens 1 hour before before bed.

(That last one I utterly fail at, but I am mainly doing textual things not from an attention-economy leach on the screen so, and it works out. Either the other 3 is enough or that screen time is sufficiently less stimulating.)
Don't lend family and friends money and expect it to be returned.
Also an issue in Toronto, and I’ve heard Seattle is awful too.
I can't fully vouch for this setup but there are some dirt cheap HDMI-to-USB devices on Amazon (got mine for $15) now. You can run HDMI out from your main machine to the USB of your iMac and then capture the input with OBS and run it full screen. A little hacky but it should work.

I've been using one to pipe an old Android phones camera to a virtual cam on my laptop.
The point is the kids can’t be relied on
That latter part sounds like another big part of the puzzle. In the last century, you could assume that a) a family had one breadwinner and b) he would expect to work at a single company his whole career. So it would make sense to tell your employees to move to a suburb that is powered by basically a single employer and buy a home there. They could go to "the city" (whichever city) with a 1+ hour commute on weekends or holidays. And employees wouldn't semi-expect to change jobs every few years, so buying a home made sense.

Now none of those assumptions hold. Even universities, which historically didn't care to be located in big cities or near other universities, are now facing the "two-body problem" - so many candidates are now part of a couple who both want academic jobs.
So Astra Zeneca is indy now?

Is every law all or nothing? There are plenty of possible restrictions on IP that could bring much societal benefit. But you can't implement any if them if you idealistically believe IP is all good despite all the evidence we have to the contrary.

Because I can't see what's going on on a virtual desktop out of the corner of my eye? Because I can't easily play a game on one virtual desktop and have a browser open to glance at a guide, or a discord server or ...

I don't know why you wouldn't want two screens, personally. I've worked with three before and found them useful. Virtual desktops never felt natural.

The closest I came to adopting them really was during the "compiz" era, using the desktop cube effect. That metaphor seemed to play into my brain's spatial awareness quite well. But still not quite as well as a separate screen.
Except the whole point of the wrapper is to protect people who are ignorant of alternatives from overwriting their main system drive by carelessly typing /dev/sda when they mean /dev/sdb on their local system. So making a new command and socializing it doesn't actually improve the situation at all.

If you really want to get to know your fellow church goers, you’ll have a hard time passing as an atheist for long. Sooner or later you’ll be asked to lead a prayer, give ‘testimony’ to when you ‘got saved’, be tested on your working knowledge of the Bible in some way. And at a catholic church, there’s generally less close community beyond glad handing, but there’s a lot of ritual and recitation you’re expected to follow along with. On some level true believers will always be pinging you to determine your authenticity.

There's no "NFS requirement for multiple Wordpress hosts" tho.
Appeal to authority is related but different, it’s using a positive association in support. Ad hominem is trying to create a negative association to discredit.

They both exploit a similar cognitive bias, but logical fallacies are about the form an argument takes not why they might be effective.

Consider an impeachment trial isn’t an ad hominem because it’s not part of an argument. Saying Bob took bribes therefore this bill is suspect is an ad hominem, but saying Bob took bribes therefore we need to get him out of office is fine.
The companies presumably diverted resources from profitable activities to work on this.

When I was just a young (and poor) kid in high school I was looking for ways to make some side money and help my family out over long summer breaks.

I learned the IPhone 3G and 3GS were both (1) Super cheap when ‘broken’ on eBay and (2) *very* easily repairable phones. No need to solder stuff or tear apart a whole phone just to replace a screen for example.

At the time, I’d buy them from anywhere between $15-$30/phone depending on damage, swap out parts from unrepairable ones, or buy new(ie Battery replacements) and sell for around double the price.

I miss the days where you didn’t need a license and special training to repair these things.
When it's a new command it doesn't solve the problem of newbies and 3 decades of old tutorials, which was the comment that started this thread.
The author inadvertently is saying that not putting people into ethnic buckets and overdoing ethnic identity results in a more harmonious society that doesn’t even know it’s diverse because it doesn’t care to track that.
I mean every consolidation is bad for competition in the first order. There are just sometimes higher order ameliorating effects.
Do you happen to know where I could read more about the logistics of the polio vaccine?
It’s also nearly guaranteed to be available on the user’s system. Are there other tools to do this? Yes, in fact too many, to the point where none of them are the clear leader.

I hate tutorials that start out with “I’m gonna show you how to do X. I like to use Y, but since the Y tool isn’t installed, we have to get it. Start by editing sources.list. You might need to be root to do this. Here is how you do that.” Halfway through the tutorial we’re still Yak shaving.
Great ! It is not far from one of my dream project : numerising a maximum of old text and let historian do research on them using state of the art tools (that work across synonims and languages) with parameters to restrict by time of publication and localisation obviously.
I don’t see this as likely.

The current Conservative government have large factions that are ideologically opposed to state interference in the free market.

Historically they’ve preferred to promote a free market for foreign companies even at the expense of local firms.

For example, this has happened in 80s and 90s when the UK had a lead in optical telecommunications and the Conservative government locked BT out of the cable TV market in favour of foreign competitors NTL and Telewest.

At the time these cable companies were using old style coax and wouldn’t have been able to compete against BT using state of the art optic fibre that only BT had.
> In my experience, most people have just as much possibility of slacking off at the office than at home.

I can confirm this because I've reached a point in my job where I am performing at most about 3 hours worth of actual work in any given week. This isn't because I'm so good at my job (I once was...) and things are running so smoothly (though they kinda are), it's because my current mental state prevents me from being motivated enough to do much of anything. Remarkably few people seem to have noticed and none have said anything about it.

When I was allowed to work from home because I had COVID (the entire IT department got it due to asinine butts-in-seats policy during a fucking pandemic), all that changed is that my stress level went down from not having to pretend to work most of the work day.
They didn’t release A major version because they changed print from a statement to a function.

"Editors Write Headlines, Editors Want Clicks"

Pretty much the answer to any question about why a headline's hook doesn't land in the meat of the article. They got what they wanted from you.

Rust has not defined an ABI. You're misunderstanding how the edition mechanism works. Each compiler knows how to turn source code of any given edition into the same internal IR, but that's purely internal. You still cannot compile an rlib with Rust compiler version 1.X and use it in a program compiled with Rust compiler version 1.Y. You can compile an rlib with Rust compiler version 1.Z that uses edition 2015 and use it in a program compiled with Rust compiler version 1.Z that uses edition 2018.
The study pretty clearly shows that within each group, activity helps! It’s just that the effect is not as large as weight. You’re arguing against a straw man.

The full argument would be “it is pointless to try to undo the health effects of excess weight through activity alone, as an active overweight person is less healthy than a sedentary normal weight person”

China and Allen Wu are trying to steal ARM China from under SoftBank in the first place. SoftBank is totally screwed no matter what happens. Allen Wu has decided that he can ignore ARM INC, and China will happily go along with anything he wants as long as it means that ARM China is a Chinese directed institution.
Your quote literally calls it a "destructive device", not an explosive, which is a term of art including mostly non-explosive things. The material in question is specified in the article. It is not explosive in any configuration as an incontrovertible matter of elementary chemistry. It does meet the criteria for being a destructive device in law.

Calling this "misinformation" is an accurate characterization. You are not responsible for what CNN reports but it should lead you to question the credibility of that news source.
Well, yes, it's possible some future change to pyPI could break pip, but that would also break all versions of pip before the change, so there'd have to be a large transition window (because pyPI is how you update pip, too, so if you break existing clients, no one can get the upgrade to the version that supports the backend changes), so that's not going to be sudden and without warning.

Once upon a time my team built The Players’ Tribune with headless Wordpress + Nextjs + CDN , which I believe is a fairly common choice these days, on that it strikes a nice middle-ground between a refined editing experience for the end-user and a not overly-complex experience for the dev team. For a static content-heavy site, it worked fine.

But the real issue at stake here is more subtle than the question of the experiences of end-users vs developers, or of ecosystems vs. complexity, or is insecure vs secure.

The real issue is writing “static content-heavy site” as if static and content-heavy must go together. There is an assumption that a content-heavy site will be static. This is not true.

I’m baffled that almost all content-heavy sites relegate dynamic content to “Related content” and “Recommended content” to sidebars and post-content sections. Facebook and social media, one could argue, have become successful in large part because their content is dynamic in the same way ad-tech is dynamic — presenting the content contextual to a particular user’s interest and behavior. Tik Tok does this the best.

The enduring legacy of Wordpress (regardless of whether you use Wordpress or some alternative) is that the content-is-static mindset has become an unquestioned axiom. The very idea of a WYSIWYG is that content is and always will be static.

Although Tik-Tok has demonstrated the power of dynamic delivery of content, the content itself still remains static. How could it not be, most people still locked into the static-content mindset might ask.

But there’s no reason that individual chunks of content can’t be dynamic too. After all, we do have different sized thumbnails for previews of content on different screen sizes. So why not different versions of headlines? Or different versions of an entire article (not simply teaser vs. body).

The reason is that, as always, our imaginations are limited by our tools. Our content tools embed an impoverished imagination.

The content-world is waiting for a startup to give us a CMS that embeds an imagination where content is dynamic, both in delivery and in substance. Moreover, with tools like GPT3, the generation of adjusted content is now practical. While an editor could write 100 versions of an article, based on combinations of style, tone, and length, GPT3 could generate drafts that would reduce an editor’s work to ... editing.

The CMS is ripe for fundamental innovation. Here’s hoping someone is working on it!
