If you want some music to go with this, you might want to look into the ‘outsider music’ genre. Why not start with the late legend himself, Daniel Johnston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW2cmIIomac or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5hVsTXJ-yo

I'm not kidding, this quasi-genre is great.

‘Casiotone for the Painfully Alone’ is a proponent of the same kind, with electronic means: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3dUgPvkYnw

‘Songs in the key of Z’ is a splendid compilation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8UVU8CLZUn25S2nu7bav... (the playlist apparently deviates from the tracklist, but includes my favorite that's not on all releases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v4karS-YaU)

Bingo Gazingo was unfortunately a late bloomer: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMEeCl_b3nYigZH0WOgxp... (dunno if the link works in the future, seems to be an automatic playlist and might be transient).

A particular hit with me is ‘You're Driving Me Mad’ by Alvin Dahn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeiaYPCANMc

For US citizens, does helping folks in Iran in this way with a Signal proxy fall under these terms?

I have had problems with people letting their dogs poop in my yard. What I started doing was scooping up the poop and putting it on the sidewalk. Interestingly, this seems to work.

I confronted one woman whose dog was pooping in my yard when I got home a few years ago. She came back and keyed my S2000. Of course the police did nothing.

Originally, our Nextdoor "group" was maybe 75 nearby neighbors, 50% of which I knew. Low traffic, high quality. (No ads)

Later they opened things up to maybe 5000 "nearby" neighbors, 1% of which I know. That totally changed the dynamic.

And yes, a few dozen who dominate every discussion. No thanks.
whales didn't evolve wayfinding in the presence of large underwater sound cannons like ships' engines. it seems to me that this is a fear response, as if the whale considers the ship to be some kind of über apex predator.

I disagree with it being non beginner-friendly. Too many of the resources are geared towards beginners, and its docs aren't as thorough as Java's.
Right, but you could implement all of that at the OS level too, which to a large part of my understanding is what things like docker is built on. Changes to the kernel to allow sandboxing at the kernel level for instance versus doing it in user space (which browsers could theoretically implement with syscalls now?), and would reduce a lot of overhead no? Or are browsers faster because they stay in user space and avoid context switching?
This is the opposite direction for VR. We are at a prime time to be using algorithms that can read face gestures, track eye location, we need much better full body tracking.

Users are happy with 2K per eye, but they're not happy on how nobody but Oculus Quest is making an affordable and well featured headset. It's even perfectly useable entirely wirelessly with Virtual Desktop.

Apple has the arm tech to be making high performance mobile headsets that can use their high quality cameras for tracking. Oculus almost has no controller hand tracking down, they're limited by the resolution and number of camera trackers though.
> But in Celsius, that's about 21 vs 20. Having one degree make a difference vaguely feels wrong to me.

See, it's funny, because I've always felt exactly the opposite way.

A difference that I can't feel is a difference that doesn't matter. So it utter aesthetic sense to me that one unit should equal the minimum difference I can feel.

(And then all the fancy science stuff that needs more precision can use decimals.)

This is a wonderful game, played this so much when I was younger on the SNES. I still think this is the best duel mode type of game I played to date: City building and 2d scroll type fighting.

As an aside, if you like the OST from that game, you can visit the original composer's YT channel: "Yuzo Koshiro" [1]

If there's one song I strongly recommend, check out this one:

Yuzo Koshiro - Northwall via https://youtu.be/xMsRVQMm8oE

It's a nice background song for those long programming sessions. From what I gather on YT, a few musical artists have attempted to play their own versions!

I meant that it's too late to solve it for this particular censorship event. You'd need to add a UI for selecting bridges and configuring Tor, all of which is substantially more complicated than just adding support for custom single-hop HTTPS proxies.
Its amazing for me that people say that Elon thinking doesn't work when his company has increased automotive volume around 30-50% for almost 10 years now.

And the iterative design works perfectly. Compare the Model 3 ramp in Fremont to the Model 3 ramp in Shanghai. Compare that to the ramp of Model Y and now to the Model Y in Shanghai. They managed the Model Y ramp with much better margin, much less issues. Their financials are improving year over year while growth continued.

Saying there were issues with the first real mass production car, and then concluding that iteration doesn't work, seems like a nonsensical argument.

If you look at their second and third generation manufacturing lines you see massive improvement and many more improvements are coming.

Tesla has 23% of the global market and leading margin in the automotive space. Just a few years ago making money with electric vehicles was supposed to be 'impossible'.

They have made amazing technology innovations, they are the most vertically integrated manufacturer in the world, they manufacture lots of things that other OEMs don't.

They have for years worked on turning into a battery company, reinventing the whole process of how batteries are produced, including active materials production. They designed their own battery cells being the first to bring to market a number of amazing innovations. They will likely be one of the biggest battery makers in the world within a few years.

So, this argument simply doesn't hold up.
Hololens 2 is not a virtual reality headset. It's a wearable HUD and UI (since you can control it with hand gestures). It's an industrial inspections and automation tool - and for those use cases the users love it. For offerings in this space built around Hololens 2 see for example https://fieldtech.trimble.com/en/products/mixed-reality/trim...

The virtual workspace for hololens is the physical world. The view area is a bit small. But the idea is not in HL to create a virtual world, but to overlay information to the real world.

The resolution on today's consumer headsets still isn't there to provide good experience (maybe https://varjo.com/ can work but it's not for consumers). Oculus Quest also last only 2-3 hours after fully charged. Main reason at least for me is it gets quite uncomfortable after wearing it for long (~30 min) due to weight and sweat
No, but you also couldn’t compare games on prior mobile devices to those which iOS enabled.

I think the more appropriate thing to consider is that Apple has a lot of Developers familiar with its platform
> we wont have functional society without Disney and Nestle? What, society will collapse if we run out of chocolates and movies?

The breadth of these companies is almost immeasurable. Nestle owns an immense amount of resource rights (eg the largest siphon of natural water from the Los Angeles basin) and industry (#1 food producing company in the world). Disney is the leading intellectual property holder of the world. The ubiquity, innate cultural knowledge, and economic strength of corporate entities in the world are part of what keep society stable. The brands are stable, so families are able to be stable and confident about the future.

This is why I picked out examples from multiple industries, all of which are known actors, who have been slapped on the hand for heinous acts over recent time.
This is described as a joint AR/VR device. I don’t expect we’d be totally cut off, probably more like an overlay of computery stuff while still being able to see the real world behind it. Sort of like a virtual screen.
If this is happening, it will be for creatives. As Apple's first customer base, and focus for innovation and new products are always creative people; designers, video editors, 3D modelers, game artists, architects, etc... A lightweight VR tool, fully integrated with macOS ecosystem, will be presenting a new way of working. I don't think without a proper innovative way Apple will release a standart VR product, into a already troubled industry.
Of course, this is not ideal. There is a big difference between journalism and message boards -- though that isn't to say, of course, that there can't room for both.

We've been working on a platform reimagining how local news can operate -- taking whats good from social media (the format and distribution), but maintaining journalistic rigor.

We cannot lose journalism.

It works in the sense that the stats look good initially until the clients get bored and say the magic words "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU".

These mental episodes are thinly veiled threats, they want to be pampered or antagonism will follow. You can pamper them with attention but it will only encourage that person to escalate next time when not pampered as much. A self-fulfilling cycle that keeps the health care professionals in high demand. The stats about non-violent incident success conceal what kinds of incentive structure they offer the offender and the professional who won't always report violent outbursts.
There is a lot of evidence that housing the homeless is not only more humane, it's also smart economics. By the time you sum up all the costs of homelessness, it's a pretty nasty toll.

The biggest actual expense is the massive medical bills from exposure and neglect. Police and ambulance services are likely a close second, chasing around town and dealing with random mentally ill people in dire straits.

The other costs are less obvious. As homeless clutter your public spaces, your city starts to rot. Parks become open areas of blight as the homeless overwhelm them and destroy the services they offer. This means much of the money your city invests in parks and public spaces ends up going to waste. Unless you spend more money on police.

The final big expense is clean up and sanitation... unless your city doesn't clean up after homeless people in which case you just end up with actual shit in alleys on big piles of garbage on street corners.

Putting up housing isn't a perfect solution, but it certainly eliminates some significant parts of that.
Thanks for posting that!

The conferences are not to suppress competition, it's to enable cooperation. Wikis are very distributed projects, and conferences are the only place where people could get together, discuss things, exchange experiences and ideas, and so on. And no, it's not the same via teleconference or mailing lists, those do exist but it's completely different mode of operation.

This happens all the time. Usually at api intersection boundaries. I do this a lot interfacing camera drivers in some flavor of C with C++ run times, so most gets passed through, but char* goes to string, pointers go to shared_ptr, etc.

I also use it a lot at boundaries where the modality changes, eg going from local data structures to RPC, where the data shape is the same, but there is io and fault tolerance to deal with.
No because mobile devices suck for P2P. Even on wifi and plugged in you likely couldn't force your app to stay open and the phone on. Easier to tell a bunch of people to run a docker container on a raspberry pi.
I think that is a questionable statement. Without agriculture there is no modern medicine which provides a lot of life quality, also there is very little starvation in the world today.

Yeah I've used a hololens for a building walkthrough (showing a new fitout) and whilst it was a cool experience, the resolution was really low, and the field of view was tiny - just a small square in each eye.

The latency tracking was on par with other headsets, which I consider quite good.

Kotlin solved the syntax and language warts on top of a good runtime.

For python the syntax is (mostly) good but the runtime and package management needs a rehaul.
> If I want a cookie to be only sent in requests from a page on https://mywebsite.com to https://mywebsite.com/internal/..., but not from any other origins, should I use Lax or Strict?

Neither setting will do what you want since the flag acts on Sites and not Origins. That is, even in SameSite=Strict mode, requests from subdomain.mywebsite.com will send cookies to mywebsite.com/internal, because they're the same Site.

> If I use HttpOnly cookies and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials=false on https://mywebsite.com/internal/..., does that make SameSite irrelevant? Would there be a security risk even if SameSite=None? Is the only security risk related to <img>?

HttpOnly is irrelevant for same-/cross- site/origin discussions - it just means that javascript can't read your cookie. Similarly CORS can only weaken the same origin policy - best to not send it at all. If you want to protect yourself against CSRF attacks on /internal then your best bet is still using standard protections like a double submit cookie or checking the origin/referrer headers.

x_coords = sorted(x for x, _ in points)

max_diff = 0
for x1, x2 in zip(x_coords, x_coords[1:]):
max_diff = max(max_diff, x2 - x1)

return max_diff
Wikimedia budgets are pretty public btw. Much more public than for many other NGOs, IMO. But I think the poster wants personal explanation of every single expense and a line-item veto power for their $30 or however much they donated. This of course is impossible for any organization. In fact, it's good that it's not possible - imagine how would it be to run the organization of this size subject to the whims of any random commenter on the internet.

If it exists in a market with illegalized downside pressure.

The sentiment that shorting isn’t necessary is particularly pernicious in the places where companies trade cash compensation for stock.

Employee long positions derived from stock grants are already boosts to the optimistic view of a company.

If there is no short position to determine fair pricing companies can use their already outsized advantage to take advantage of workers.

> And again -- you can still get involuntarily committed to an institution after you're arrested. The only difference is that now you have two problems instead of one, both a mental health record and a criminal record.

There are tens of thousands of serious sex offenders who, after serving their prison terms, are civilly committed to a prison-like treatment facility until the state decides they are safe. Only the most dangerous 2-4% of sex offenders are committed, and in some states it's rare that anyone is fully released. (Minnesota didn't fully release a single person in a two-decade period[0] In Texas, "only one person has been released from the program on a provisional basis since it was created 16 years ago."[1]). It's very expensive because the states do have to provide professional treatment, but apparently the states feel that the cost is worth it. In many cases being convicted of murder would be better than being civilly committed, since one would have a much better chance of eventually seeing freedom.

Dude how do you even survive without participating in ANY interest? If you don’t have a mortgage, you must rent. That property was bought with a loan. You have any bank account or investments? Those institutions provide loans. Did you get an education? How did you pay for it? You gotta be filthy rich to afford all those things in cash.

I’m just amazed that people actually believe what you’re saying. I would never want to live in a society where I am forced to accept charitable scraps from the wealthy elite.

Tangibility is a dumb argument. The car and the property or whatever are being rented out for a profit INCLUDING maintenance costs. Money depreciates and the lender absorbs risk. There’s opportunity cost with money.

Loans can absolutely be predatory! There should be absolutely be proper regulation. But your suggestion that ALL interest is evil just tells me you have no idea how the world works.

You use products and services from companies which use interest. Your government uses interest. It’s all around you.

Don't get me wrong, i've got my issues with lua, it's good at what it's designed to be, a small easily embeddable scripting language that plays nice with C, but i've definitely hit some limits with lua on larger stand alone projects that make it not so suitable.

Its tiny standard library, which kind of makes it limiting, I think is a boon for learning. It forces you to remake the wheel at times. Despite not being an OOP language, I learned about OOP by trying to write my own class system in lua using metatables, hitting the limits of what I could do, and looking into languages with built in classes that had all the 'things I was missing' in my own hackish OOP attempts in lua.

As far as learning goes, not having the tools baked in forces you to learn about how they actually work when you have to remake them. It might not be efficient for people who just want to get the job done, but for learning it's definitely helpful.

Lua's also used in a bunch of 'fun' things. It's used as a scripting language in tons of games, half the time when I look up lua stuff these days it's all about roblox...which I think is big with the kids or something...it's used in fantasy consoles like the pico8 and the tic80, it can be used to script whole games with things like LOVE and the solarus engine.

Personally, I found it to be a good language overall for inspiring self-motivated learning. There's always something fun that can be accomplished with lua relatively easily.
If the law intended for there to be an intent requirement, then the statute itself would say “knowingly” or “willfully”, which it clearly does not. This means that one can accidentally commit conspiracy, so long as the law you’re conspiring to break does not have an intent requirement.

Amazing how Musk getting something wrong, he is never hearing the end of it.

With many things, Musk was right. Both in automotive and in space, people 'insiders' have many believes and many of them turned out to be wrong.

SpaceX and Tesla got where they are by breaking conventional wisdom and if they had not done so, they wouldn't exist any more.

It so happens reinventing mass manufacturing was not as easy as other things. Tesla is still working on it, and they are making improvements that other car companies have not thought about. With each factory and each now Model of car they are interdicting improvements.

The very guy who does the interview with Elon that this information is built on was the former lead engineer at Ford and he believes Tesla is improving faster then anybody. He is incredibly impressed with the engineering and manufacturing at Tesla and how fast it is improving.
