As a programmer I always disliked DevOps because it expected engineers to write yaml instead of code. Well because code is too expressive for configuration, I hear you say with reproach. Then why is there this bash script that changes the config files of the staging environment and pushes the changes to a the production git repo from where it is deployed to kubernetes.

AT&T is fucking terrible about this and gives you physical eSIM cards. They refuse to give these to prepaid customers.

I've gone to an AT&T corporate store nuemrous times and get "sorry we've run out of esims" and they charge for them. The site itself is also out of them frequently.

That’s what I mean, yes. I don’t see the difference between my comment and yours.

I was answering to someone talking about cutting China off the US market (or at minimum adding strong restrictions). In that situation China’s economy is already suffering.
The OP said these apps are a practical way to not get screwed as an individual traveler.

I didn't read any negative generalization about the citizens of these countries.

Also there are many posts here about taxi drivers of developed countries (the "oppressors" if you want to be reductionist).
Looks quite interesting, I always had a found spot for visual languages.

The problem with visual spaghetti is the same as with monoliths, lack of understanding how to modularize the code.

I think applying digital circuit design best practices to such tools would help more people to properly modularize their boxes.
Nope, it has kind of an obscure meaning, such as "unusual" or "interestingly strange". Blessed is the antonym, meaning "cathartic" or "wholesome".
It would not "offset whatever you're making". The economy isn't set up so the most cynical option is true. (I can beat you in cynicism anyway - most people don't have salaries so you'd now outbid non-workers such as the elderly by 4x what you did before.)

This is currently coming up as people claiming all stimulus bills will cause inflation, but there's no inflation in the US for the last 30 years, when we did have it the cause was an energy price spike, and so they have no empirical evidence.
Read the first few paragraphs. Still don't know what an NFT is.
You shouldn't, interventional studies yield causal evidence, by definition

I found an article about a company nearly identical to the one I was trying to start that was going out of business. Not only would that have completely destroyed my chances, but it would have been a disaster for all of their customers.

I've been working for over a year to re-build that company. It's been a challenge, and it's been much tougher than I could have expected, but it's probably one of the best opportunities I could have asked for.
Thank you for your great advice.

> they could be sorted by the number of codes in a descending order.

Sorting is important. I will try to implement this.

> There is just too much white color.

I think so too. Now I am trying to implement Dark mode. I will try Material as the solution.

> I see "No title" everywhere, do we need to see "No title" or maybe not show anything?

'No title' is not good as you point out. I'm going to hide it if no title.

I appreciate your advice. I improve front-end more.
There's plenty of land in CA for infill development; the problem is it has one-story single family houses on it, and CA has banned development everywhere so nobody can replace them with something more sensible like a fourplex or a multi-story building.

If we could, things would get cheaper, and traffic might even get better (since commutes would improve.)
Many people argue that's the inevitable result of fully free market capitalism too.
I had a hell of a hard time sourcing them a few years back at anything remotely resembling decent prices.

Their cost exceeded that of using wristwatch lcd displays (the kind with fixed patterns) and the results there were far superior. The complexity of a 16-segment display is probably slightly lower, but the runtime power savings made the LCD option more lucrative.
How would that situation be improved if cops were required to spend time and energy pursuing cases where a kid stole a packet of gum from a convenience store?

The fact that cops aren’t responding to cases of violence has nothing to do with the shoplifting laws passed in SF, and frankly, that law should explicitly open up more resources for cops to be able to investigate such violent behavior.

What exactly in Portland prevents them from acting on violent vagrants. Depending on the timeline, this likely has more to do with the fact that police unions across the country deployed a deliberate don’t do police work policy because people decided to protest against the minority of police that were killing in percent civilians merely because of their skin color of the zip code they were arrested in.

You could use mining to incentivize the build out of remote energy generation before transmission infrastructure is ready.

For example, drop some solar panels and miners in the middle of the desert and immediately start generating profit. Use the profit to deploy more solar panels and build out transmission lines. You can do this piecemeal at low initial investment to feel out an energy source without committing billions of dollars to build out.

I'm not aware of anyone who's done major operations like this, but with the profitability of mining so absurdly high right now plus scrutiny on using dirty energy sources, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts. Access to mining ASICs is likely the key bottleneck.

This is the story used to explain part of the reason so much mining is in China. They built out a ton of hydroelectric dams over the decades that have been underutilized due to lack of infrastructure. Miners came in for the unused electricity and brought in a ton of money to the area.
Can you name a single person in the Bay Area who served even one full day of jail time for a misdemeanor not involving a firearm and/or domestic violence in the past year?

Under the current "zero bail" guidelines, even felony suspects can be put back on the street the same day. Look up Idris Muhammad, who set three fires while already on probation, was quickly released, then set more fires and busted shop windows.
A friend worked at a Macy's in Nevada for a few years. Staff were told that shoplifters should be assumed to be armed, and that security would not normally confront them. Staff would often stand by and let shoplifters walk out the door with big hauls of stuff. Large daily losses to theft were just budgeted for.
I know there are some cryptocoins that actually do _useful_ calculations.

Maybe we should all strive for some kind of open standard with which every interested party can get their calculations calculated as the proof of work (e.g. cancer detection, seti, dna-analyses, ai-training, ..).
Honestly if someone was this insisting IRL, I would start feeling harassed. "D00d, just cancel my membership and leave me alone."
I think there is a two fold answer.

1. The need for more outlets.
2. The belief this provided some protection.

Older homes had way fewer outlets than required by today’s code, and it wasn’t unusual to be short on plugs. Additionally, ungrounded plugs were also common. Enter the 6 plug surge protector.
> wouldn't that apply to anything you don't use regularly?

Doesn't apply to well-designed GUI programs. In good GUIs features are discoverable, you don't need prior knowledge or documentation to use software.

Experience speeds things up, e.g. keyboard shortcuts are faster than menus or buttons. That's optional though, one can still use the software without these shortcuts.
It might be something that could be excused if it was applied slightly more evenly, like never knowing how much something's costs when you buy it because "taxes", even though that is the most dick move.

I can't imagine having a builder perform some tasks on my house, only for them to tell me afterwards that the price we agreed wasn't going to cover it because actually it's not enough to feed their family.
> Low dosage and boiling water and long steeping. Take sips inbetween. Drink it hot or let is sit for an hour. The taste profile changes with temperature. Good teas will taste good. Bad teas will taste bad. This procedure is simple but unforgiving.

I've usually preferred, and seem recommended, the opposite: high quantities of tea, medium temperature water, multiple short steeping. For good teas, the taste changes with every steeping, with the best aroma often being the second or third. For some teas, the first stepping is un drinkable (especially Pu Erh).

Especially for more delicate green teas, pouring boiling water over them will make them bitter, so I would never recommend that. If your tea is ever bitter, even the tiniest bit, that is the fault of your brewing method: either your water was too hot, or the ratio between tea, water, and steep time was too much.

I would be a bit more optimistic, here is my take on it.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy:

Earth - a small planet in the outer reaches of spiral galaxy M7529. Inhabitants with watery brains came up with technology to use their star energy directly for complex mathematical calculations. Our space archeologists still don't understand why the calculations were producing random outputs so they never managed to get out of their star system and used all their star energy for that. Their Dyson sphere is interesting place to visit because as of now, it is the only civilization that achieved building it and never managed to go any further.
Sorry misread.
Unfortunately, in their case, it seems to have been too little, too late.
Individual people are still awesome for the most part. We're on the subject of Egypt, which is a perfect example of this. Walk around Cairo and you'll meet amazing generous people who will go out of their way to help you with no expectation of reward. Just folks proud of their country. Let your guard down a little at the right time and you'll find yourself invited into people's homes and having amazing experiences.

But you also get to see the bad part of human nature. This last trip, I had walked my family well off the beaten track on a market street, past all the tourist junk and deep into the hammer and fish head district. There was a busy little tea house on a side alley, so we headed over to sit down.

Before we could cover the 50 feet down the alley, a guy hopped up from one of the tables, ran over and directed us the last 10 feet to the table. Thus appointing himself our middleman for the transaction (as I'm sure anybody who's been to Africa or the Mideast has experienced). After our 2 teas and the kids' 2 Karkade, he presented us with the bill: 80 Egyptian Pounds. The price you'd expect to pay at the Hilton in downtown Cairo.

As it happened, our table was right in front of the sign with the cafe menu printed in Arabic. I pointed at the top line: "This says "tea." And this is the number "two" next to it.", and offered a £10 note.

Oh no, there has been a mistake. This is the old sign. A quick back and forth between middleman and Actual Waiter, then the bill is settled and the middleman disappears into the back, never to be seen again.

I don't really mind the dishonesty and Tourist Prices in Tourist District. But it's grating when you can't escape it.

Still, the good people and experiences always find a way of balancing out the bad. It's well worth going.
Am at a company now where we're very likely to use Vention to build an automation test stand in the near future. Our use case is as follows:

- want 1-2 of these setups (low quantity)

- needs to hold/fixture a 20-30kg robotic arm (pretty much a standard cobot), so we'd like something beefy and rigid. This isn't something I'd just clamp down on any work desk

- overall footprint about the size of a twin-sized bed

- we have some specific dimensional requirements dictated by our physical task and also the place for installation, so retrofitting an existing COTS table or test setup isn't necessarily feasible or straightforward

- we want some degree of ability to adjust and modify the positioning of subcomponents, so the t-slot is particularly helpful

Certainly, I could get what I want in terms of parts for a lot less money via 8020/Misumi and piece this together myself with some post-machining, but then I'd also have to download the individual CAD files for the parts (if they're available) and then reconstruct my desired setup in another CAD program. Then, I'd need to build my own BoM and coordinate part ordering from a selection of vendors. None of this is outside of my abilities, but I have a lot of other things to do for the project, and if my company's willing to bite the bullet on the additional cost, Vention solves a lot of problems for me on this front. They also offer (last I checked) some components for actuator/manipulator mounting compatible with their extrusions that other vendors don't sell.

In my opinion, most setups around the size of a standard cardboard moving box can be pieced together pretty simply with a combination of COTS parts, basic hand tools, 3d-printing, and services like Ponoko/Sendcutsend/Oshcut without too much hassle. Anything larger or with higher payloads or with more significant tolerance requirements than our use case I described above should probably be handled by a group/company that has some experience/expertise in building those sort of structures, especially if several of them need to be built.

If anyone else has come across similar modular setups/services, please let me know!
The movies served as means to make couples talk about their own relationsship. Check the questions from the PDF that I linked elsewhere here to get a better idea.
Hey but the fact that Texas has a higher threshold for property crime to be considered more than a misdemeanor would destroy the “liberals are destroying cities with their soft on crime policies” narrative. Which is literally the only reason anyone originates these claims.

I guess it speaks to the success of right wing media in our society that well educated and well informed people get so badly taken in by them.
Yes. And season 1 at that.
If you want to signal your magnanimous virtues to the world, do it on your own dime. Nobody should be shamed into feeling sorry for someone that defrauded them.
Indeed, but it still must be meah that you ended up being "that d00d" that implemented yet another barrier to exit. I can already imagine a beer conversation with friends:

A: What did you do this week?

B: I operated an appendix to save someone's life.

C: I sold a home to a young family.

D: I added yet another layer of frustration to users trying to cancel their membership.
My sister lost her iPhone 4 back in the day. Months later it popped up in Find My iPhone and they tracked it down. Turns out she lost it at the beach, and it spent months there, buried under a bit of sand. A kid and mom found it with a metal detector and brought it home to charge to try and find the owner. Still worked just fine.

Do You Own Your CryptoKitties? (2017)
Don't just blindly do what you're taught. There are reasons for expanding acronyms and reasons for not. In this case, I'd say that if someone doesn't know what an NFT is, the article will be meaningless because it also lacks a long "background" section teaching the reader what they are. So maybe you're not the intended audience or it's more effective to let you Google it yourself if you don't know.
Please make sure to read the full paper before jumping to conclusions! This was not a fully randomized study!

The main outcome of the study was that couples that participated in ANY treatment had similar outcomes. The benefit was compared to a "No treatment" group.

But the article fails to mention that this "no treatment" group was not randomly selected!! The "no treatment" group was made up of couples that refused treatment, or failed to participate in treatments because of scheduling constraints.

So a less misleading headline might be: Couples that refuse relationship counselling have higher divorce rates. But that would surprise noone.
This is a also user privacy solution that could be applied in other areas. If one is only querying a local store of Wikipedia pages, then third party observation of those queries is perhaps impossible, and so the "surveillance capital" "business model" may become infeasible. (Now this is perhaps a poor example because Wikipedia generally does not appear to be engaged in "surveillance capitalism". Maybe their straightforward provision of bulk data coupled with this fact is not a coincidence.) But there are other databases besides Wikipedia that internet users query weekly, daily, hourly or even more frequently. Making incessant queries over the internet can a rich source of data for a third party observer, one that can form the foundation of "surveillance capitalism" revenue strategies. Whereas if users can download bulk data, and thereby avoid queries over the internet, in many cases they can avoid falling victim to "surveillance capitalism". Bulk data can be a viable privacy solution.
You can also apply the same argument Pre and post deep sleep or anaesthetic
Police don't choose whether to drop charges.

The vast majority of nonviolent crimes here now have no police involvement whatsoever. They just have you file an online report for you to forward to your insurance (if any). This includes catalytic converter thefts that can cost over $2000 alone to resolve, let alone other property loss plus vehicle damage.
Basically every gambler is an excellent example of that principle, though I have also not seen the research.

It would be interesting to check if the aroma of a proper home brewing tea has any relationship with the aroma you get by brewing tea for 6 minutes with boiling water. From my experience, for many teas, the moment you've poured that boiling water over it, you've lost all aroma that it could have given off.

It wouldn't surprise me if this standard was responsible for the terrible tea you usually get at a supermarket, especially in green tea. If the brewing method basically makes all green tea taste bitter and tanninous, the blandest, weakest teas will rise to the top, as they will be the least bitter when brewed in boiling water. Much better teas, that would have beautiful flavors if brewed in colder water, would never be favored.
Oh, I also have that, I shower with it and took it swimming a few times, no problem.

This makes me wonder about the role of film as a “machine for empathy” as described by Ebert. If movies could prime people for relationship chats by seeding empathetic ideas.

This led me to wonder if there’s any relationship between the media and ability to elicit empathy - if couples discussed relationship books would they also see a lower rate of divorce? So far, I can only find one paper on this (https://doi.org/10.1075/ssol.19003.tur) but I wonder how it fits into the wider literature?

What is known about the ability of different media to generate empathy? The paper above suggests books are better than films. What about immersive games?

Yes, indeed. My question is if the NFT will be treated as a valid proof of ownership in a legal battle. I’m guessing it would hold some validity, but lose against a well-written sales contract.
How is this socialist trope?

A lot of planning involves “what happens if I lose my job”, or “my current workplace is hell, and between that and taking care of kids I can barely even start looking for another job, and I can’t afford to take a couple of months off because that would mean I need to go on the private insurance market for a few months which would be ridiculously expensive with my special needs kid”.

Even if you’re in an ideal scenario, with a cushy job that provides great employer insurance, it’s not close to being as good as having high quality healthcare irrespective of whether you have a good job, terrible job, or no job.
