"You know how Presidents and executives manage to be fully present for the extent of a 30 minute meeting? They never spend time thinking about when to leave, what time it is or how long they have until the meeting ends."

Strikes me as overpromising what their tool can deliver. Presidents and executives have people who they pay to protect their time and also offload a lot of the basic tasks of daily life - cooking, cleaning, laundry, childcare, etc. to others.

I'm interested in how we can create more time for deep work, but I'm also skeptical.
Recent American military interest in hypersonic missiles definitely feels like a case of "Russia and China are playing with these, we want to play with one too".
> allowing you to focus on potential future crimes of Israel

You mean active current and historical crimes of Israel, surely?

Two wrongs don't make a right, and many people and countries discriminating or massacring Jews historically doesn't excuse Israel's apartheid state, crimes against humanity and international law violations.
Something that may contribute to that may be that Factorio has never been part of a Steam sale or bundle, which is where I suspect most of those "owned but never played" games come from.
PHP has to bootstrap everything on every single request. It is definitely great for reloadability and local development but terrible for production performance. Most teams that do not need PHP or love it (Laravel is great I know) have moved to using languages and frameworks that provide a long running application server.
One factor is predictability in initial price. The SPAC & company negotiate a fixed price to go public. With an IPO the company begins the process with a valuation in mind but a lot of it still comes down to the roadshow investors, for better or worse.
The point though is that change is useless unless it’s change in a good direction. If something is going to be changed, it should be shown to be better in some way.
Yes but arresting the murderer is a far more difficult problem if he is a cop.
In a not life threatening situation, wouldn’t it make sense to try out the cheaper drug first? When you are paying the bills, that is what you do. Roof springs a leak? Try a $20 patch first. Don’t immediately spend $8,000 tearing off and installing a new roof. But when you are spending other people’s money, it’s real easy to try and skip steps.

If insurance didn’t push back, costs would be even more bonkers!!
I am cool with constructive criticism, but you do realize brew is free, right?

If you are not happy with open source, you have a couple of options:

- build your own brew

- brew is open source, so you can make contributions to improve

- pay for something like brew (though probably not an option for brew)

Have you done any of the above before complaining? I am guessing - no. Otherwise, say "thank you" and move on, my friend.

No you're not the only one, it is a massive loophole that benefits corporations and the perfect example of why government regulation can never really work in the end. There will always be a way around found.

The New Bitcoin Four Year Cycle
In July.
As far as 911 dispatch goes, this is fairly common. In my experience, it's not uncommon to get an ambulance and a police officer for the same call, even if only one is needed. This seems to be the norm for calls where a neighbor has fallen ill (or, in the case of the elderly, literally fallen over and can't get up).
It's not about the people going to these events, it's who those people end up infecting.

A student goes to FOSDEM , catches COVID-19 without any symptoms, and then on the way back home ends up interacting with a bunch of elderly family members, infecting them and possibly hospitalising them in the process. That's just one scenario, there are hundreds of other scenarios that will also occur.

Why take the risk?
I'd looked into BioJulia, but I don't really need packages for handling sequence data. I've never had to use the equivalent python packages either, since it's not really my field of bioinformatics - yet. Most of my work is ad-hoc analyses of non-genetic non-protein sequences, for which no packages currently exist in any environment. Mostly, I need a guide covering my usual use case of pandas & mostly string operations. How do I find substrings & replace them efficiently? How do you split a string with delimiters? Regular Expressions?

All the Julia guides I looked into were very heavy about in built mathematical operations, but didn't touch upon string operations. I'm sure I'll have to look up the documentation at some point anyway, but was wondering if there's a Julia guide for people like me.
It would make sense if closed cities were doing better than oepn cities but that isn't the case. Miami has fewer deaths than NYC and everything is open in Miami.
I’m familiar with obfs4 and snowflake.

Signals TLS proxy is naive compared to obfs4, but at it’s core it’s a similar solution.
Personally; only issue i tend to have is that when I install X, it breaks Y forcing reinstallation of ~everything. What should be a small install ends up taking 30m of cleanup.

Entirely likely it's user error on my part; but also problem I haven't really had with other 'nix package managers.
For reloading from within the repl

from importlib import reload as r

Then in the ipython shell you can type r(module) to reload the entire thing.

So I'll often have the editor in one terminal window, and ipython in the other one, save the code and switch back the repl, and type r(t)

import mymodule as t

Now tie in some ipdb [1] and you have a pretty sweet setup. Also depending on your serving framework it might also have hot reloading as well, tornado, flask, etc.

I wouldn’t say that I’m defending the practice. It’s a bad decision and I wish Pakistan wouldn’t censor these apps.

But it really does seem like the responsibility lies with Pakistan here. The article suggests Google’s trying hard to keep these apps up, and has indeed kept some up despite government pressure. At the end of the day, their options to resist legal demands are limited, and it’s hard for me to see an argument that this relatively small instance of censorship is so important they should shut down operations in Pakistan over it.
I don't think that's a fair assessment of Islam.

The whole issue seems to be an internal argument among the Muslim community- so Islam is a necessary precondition for this problem, as it's the subject matter of the issue, but not the causative agent.
This is very interesting, I'm building something similar, an open source todo list + calendar at https://getartemis.app.

I also had the same issues with todo lists and calendars. They don't communicate with each other. A calendar treats events as the main abstraction when in reality I want it to treat tasks as the main abstraction. When tasks are main, a lot of problems with todo lists are solved, especially the lack of intra-day time bounding for them. I want to know exactly what to do at all points of the day, so that I can get more done. Of course, most people aren't as serious as me, but having such an abstraction is still good for them as well.

In a way, this is great user validation if people are having similar problems and are building their own solutions. I wish Rise all the best.

That being said, rather than having text, a mockup with images or better yet, a video, would work better. On my site, the entire video is only an animation mockup, and it's gotten me over 1.3k email signups already (yes I know email signups != revenue, but it's interest at least).
Not using an ad blocker and complaining about this is like not using a condom and complaining about an itchy crotch.
it’s because it doesn’t have the same regulation or due diligence. you can scam retail investors.
I've discovered a new one recently: I asked people what browser they were using on their Android, and they couldn't tell me. When I asked them to show me, they showed me the Google search bar on the homepage.

People don't even use a browser anymore, they're using a previewer for browsing the web. I was kinda sad to see that they used that thing, but in a way we should be happy about that; when people want to check the recipe for a cheesecake, they go and get a recipe for a cheesecake. They don't care about what tools are in the way and they shouldn't. We tech people tend to forget about why we build software. If Google wasn't Google I'd be very fine with people forgetting about the name of their browser, but in this instance they're using one of the worst ways to browse the web.
Vitamin D? Miami is a lot sunnier.
Every time someone wants to sell me a calendar, another todo list or an optimizer for my time, I will try to tell them, that software is not going to help me.

Spending and planning your time is a mental proces that has very little to do with typing things into a calendar.

A calendar is a great tool for organizing your appointments and a reminder to go to a certain meeting.

But as soon as you try to couple it with being something else, you are not really trying ro solve the real challenge.

If you too much shit to do, a calendar wont fix that. If your meeting are fucked because people are badly prepared, a calendar wont fix that. If you have to many appointments with your parents in law, your calendar wont fix that.

A calendar is a tool that should be fixed. Don't start to fuck around making it something else.

I have seen people use their calendar as project tools for assignments. FFS - use a tool that is actually made for that.

And so on...
> Or satellite bases too far away for even trains and the like, where you need long-term transports (container ships, ICBM's) to get stuff.

I like this idea. imo the core of factorio is conquering scale. the base game is already very polished. at this point I just want more stuff to do post launch. taking the scale up another order of magnitude (huge ships, point to point air transport for latency sensitive goods, etc.). would also provide the opportunity to expand combat a bit to provide automated defenses for far away shipments. I want my robot navy, now shut up and take my money!
Why doesn't every IPO happen this way? Once you want to go public, you make a SPAC, get that approved, then have it buy your business?
VGAC is currently trading down ~10%

On top of this, SPACs usually have private PIPE investors who get shares at the "IPO" price, typically 10 dollars, while people who buy the public SPAC shares typically have to pay twice that, which feels super scammy.

This is very interesting, and maybe sheds light on why Google decided not to hire Max. There seems to be some consensus that MacPorts has the better architecture, while Homebrew has been better at responding to users, even according to Max himself.

For Google, it's likely the former is more important than the latter for a lot of their projects. An architecture that doesn't scale or doesn't always do the right thing or sometimes messes up data, can be catastrophic at the scale of Google.
> someone was hosting a website outside of Pakistan, it would be much harder to take down than just petitioning Google or Apple

ISPs are still in Pakistan, so if the country wants, there are a myriad of ways to block a website. Most are preventable, but for the majority of people the site will be effectively blocked.
Great tool! Thank you.
I agree with the supervision part but imagine you're a doctor, you have these meds at your disposal and someone comes to you suffering with what you assess to be a condition that you know a certain med is 90% effective. Wouldn't you give it to them and simply risk that they might be in the 10% that it doesn't work or maybe the 0.1% that it'd cause a bad effect? Should we eliminate medication because it isn't 100% effective for everyone and sometimes has adverse effects?
Check out The China Hustle for a great documentary on this topic: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_china_hustle

It's currently streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
I wouldn't consider it a hole in the rules, it's more of an alternative listing method.

In my view, nothing materially changes. If 23andMe is a turd then an IPO through Goldman or JPMorgan isn't going to really change that, and neither will an SPAC.

Although it's a little bit "gambling" because you don't know what the SPAC acquisition will be ahead of time, I think the SPAC vehicle is great for retail investors. If you take IPOE and SoFi for example, you could have bought Social Capital Hedosophia's IPOE SPAC at $13/share or something and watched it grow once the shares were slated to be turned into SoFi shares. But in the traditional IPO process, well, you get to buy the SoFi shares at the IPO price. If you have a high net worth, that's probably fine. But if you're a retail investor - well, look at AirBnB's IPO price at $68/share and what you could actually get it at on IPO which was closer to $140 or something.

In other words, you get a little bit of exposure to the game, and of course a little bit of exposure to the risk as well which is "I don't know who they will merge with".

Can someone explain why this couldn't have been implemented purely client side and validating if what was entered was first even a valid hostname? Or were the DNS queries only run after they passed an initial check?

I think this is one of the key problems that emerged by merging the search functionality into the location bar. I still now always enable the separate search bar for Firefox and avoid running searches in the so-called Awesome bar. I still consider a search and host lookup very different operations in my mind.
Not parent, and I'm not going to say it sucks, the project takes a lot of work from a lot of people and I ain't the one pissing on other people's work, it definitely could use some improvements syntax wise though,
What was it, brew install? Brew cask? Oh , now is brew cask install... or was it brew install --cask?

I get the analogy, but being a package manager, but was it really that bad to use 'brew install', 'brew update', and 'brew upgrade' for everything?

And it's true that it is a little frustrating at times when you don't use it for a while, you 'brew install xx' and wait 4 minutes until "Updating homebrew" finished with its dozens loops between shells, ruby etc doing its stuff (which I assume is refetching repos, but couldn't know it from the output)

I use it because it's the most common thing for mac, but I miss APT and DNF everytime I use it, not going to lie

One click payment links help anyone on your sales and marketing team remove friction from your payment funnel, no coding required.

The links align to the Stripe checkout session API, so your teammates can adjust pricing, apply discounts, set tax rates, all without requiring any re-deploys.

This helps sales and marketing take more ownership of customer facing pricing and requires less engineering resources for product / pricing initiatives. Win win

> inner build/install commands can be run in a far more restricted environment

As I seem to remember it, homebrew rankles if you use sudo but also complains if you’re not an admin account, which struck me as ironic and irritating all at once, and means that xkcd isn’t quite as relevant.
There's logic to the idea that, if your adversaries are suddenly interested in something, it is probably worth your time to make sure you're not missing anything.

Of course, there's also logic to generating red herrings to waste your adversaries' resources, and the US has done that to others.
Yeah, it is puzzling. Of course we are assuming that all areas count cases and deaths the same. That may not be true. Maybe the rates are similar.

"Enjoyable" is a more specific word than "good/bad". "Bad" can refer to any dimension (of any object, not just art). Therefore, in cases where no context is defined, its meaning is governed by usage. In the context of art and art criticism, usage of "good/bad" typically refers to technical qualities and subjective execution, e.g. composition, color theory, emotion, communication, etc. Something can fail much of that and still manage to be enjoyable to a significant portion of consumers, though theoretically there would be an inverse relationship at the highest level. But such a state doesn't invalidate those metrics nor does it invalidate the experience of those consumers. Both are useful and valid in separate ways.
The major benefit of going public via an SPAC is avoiding the onerous disclosure requirements associated with an IPO. In particular, the SEC frowns upon projections of imminent, wild growth, which is a big part of the valuation of many companies seeking to go public these days.

With an SPAC, a company can go public while still hyping the stock on YouTube or whatever, and without suffering a lockup period during which its executives are not allowed to sell into the mania. The SPAC phenomenon why have suddenly seen so many overhyped companies (NKLA, anyone?) in the public markets lately.

Running `brew install hello` triggers `brew update` automatically unless the environment variable HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE is set:

echo export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 >> $HOME/.zshrc

I do not think it was a wise decision to enable auto update on `brew install` as long time users expect `brew update` and `brew install` to be two separate steps (as it was for years) and because Homebrew no longer operates like `apt` and other package managers.

Looks like it was changed in 2016: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/288
I don't see anything ridiculously loose about that law:

Well, the main gain we're seeing that attracts most companies is money, sometimes lots of it. Savings on hardware due to performance and footprint improvements are often so large that they very quickly offset any migration costs. Here's a pretty common experience from LinkedIn: https://youtu.be/1AYTFRUTyao?t=14411. Systems that don't migrate are usually those that carry little hosting costs and/or make little money.

Second, as someone who works on OpenJDK I can tell you that the belief that JDK 8 is more stable than 15 (or even 11) is misguided either based on how they're actually maintained (an order of magnitude more people maintain 15 than 8, and while they backport some fixes, they don't backport them all, and we've had a few incidents of bugs introduced through misapplied patches) and the actual bug data. It is true that some new features might be less stable, but it's safer, at this point, to use 15 (or 11) than 8.
I'm glad java is *finally* getting first-class unix domain socket support. It was one of my only qualms about using the language. I wish they offered more explicit unix signal handling, though I know some of the signals are reserved for internal use so it's probably a bit hard to let that cat out of the bag.
The PTA isn't stopping at walled-garden App Stores; Google and Apple are just one of the few countries large enough to have a physical presence Pakistan can threaten. They also threatened a handful of US-based web hosts who are basically prohibited from seeing their families until they censor this sect.
