there is indeed no way I could classify his whole career like that, which is why is used the qualifier 'nowadays'. I am very aware of the amount of investigative journalism he has done. But the point is, that takes institutional support, it cannot be done with a bunch of fans online. And in recent times he has almost exclusively written about nothing else but the online drama surrounding his persona or other journalists.
Fantastical really is fantastical! The quick entry and great integrations makes it truly great. It also has a really good menu bar item similar to this project.
Calling a permanent unfixable limit a market “scarcity” is bizarre, and so is comparing it to something that’s only temporarily scare. Obviously the solutions to permanent loss of supply and temporary shortages must be completely different. There are some real downsides to rent control, and there are some real upsides in some cities and for some people. There are also huge downsides to allowing a free-for-all, especially for the people who need housing anywhere near their jobs. It’s easy to ignore an argument that is only semantics and opinionated dogma when it’s avoiding the realities of the problems at hand.
> May I suggest: their own salaries or perhaps military spending?

Personal opinion:

I want to pay every politician even more than they get now - for life. In exchange, they are never allowed to work or own equity in a corporation. Shuts the lobbyists revolving door nonsense down almost immediately. Such an implementation only works if we hold corrupt officials accountable though, we don't want one-term do-nothings to get into office just for the paycheck. So, if you fail to represent the will of the people you lose 95% of the money, or similar.

Cutting military spending I'm generally in favor of. I believe this could be done to a huge degree before we actually have a negative impact on military capability at all. I also believe the military should only be used for actual defense, meaning that militia structures become a meaningful way to bolster national security without incurring an enormous organizational cost.

> This conservative idea that we have to be all "Aw shucks, we don't have money" is absurd, yet they have enough to give themselves generous salary increases and universal healthcare.

It's not conservative, it's corrupt. The conservative view is that we need to secure economic stability, not raid the coffers at every opportunity. But then again, the terms conservative/liberal have lost most of their meaning. I wonder what John Locke would think if he were alive to see how the world turned out.

If you want to build powerful rich native self sufficient GUI apps on Windows:

Get Lazarus IDE for Windows. The language is highly advanced Object Pascal

For the same thing but C++ you can get Ultimate++ IDE.

Either will produce single exe file.

Deployment in either case is just copy exe and have at it

Yeah, for the stuff I've been doing, just sticking with the built-in stdlib has been good enough.
Understood, and thank you!
I have been struggling with same topic and here is where I landed up at(specific to US). I have a pretty frugal lifestyle and after my kids go to college, I can live on much less that my current expenses. I have set a limit on how much I am willing to save for my kids. I want to have enough money for in-state college tuition for their undergrad. My kids go to a public school, and I spending more for living in a good school district, but that is cheaper than private schools and the time here is limited . My biggest fear is around the medical expenses as we grow older and my current thought process is that we will move out of US once the kids go to college.

TLDR - I need to work for a limited period of time, but see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes. I've not seen figures that put the cost of handling it above 30%. 160% > 30%.

It's not like nuclear is dispatchable either, whereas wind turbines can be.

I think this part of your comment is absolutely right and it's fatal to the argument that Rust made the wrong decision about I/O models for Rust. Maybe in the context of some other language, Rust's decision was not the best one, but not for Rust, because Rust just doesn't have linear types.

It’s quite fair. Are you hiring the best candidate or just any candidate? If the former, you make your offer to the best candidate and wait a reasonable time for their response, a week is usually sufficient. If you wish to offer to any candidate, offer to them all and see who accepts, but as you may find out, that’s not actually legal.

But of course you are looking for the best candidate right? If so, waiting for their answer is ultimately the one that serves you best.
I think you underestimate the efficacy and resourcefulness of the private enterprise. People are usually rewarded (a lot) when they find new markets, and in the modern economy, they do. There is no reason to expect they would stop doing that if we would abolish the stock market.

I’m sure that the majority of all businesses are able to fund their own ventures (including solar panel manufacturers), if they don’t have the savings, there are also loans, government (and community) support, etc. I think your overestimate of the value (or rather the necessity) of the stock market stems from big, expensive, and risky ventures. Perhaps you are right and those would suffer if the stock market would suddenly collapse on it self.

However like I said previously, I think you underestimate the resourcefulness of the private enterprise. In a world where there are no stocks, and a company wants to venture in a risky and expensive project, that nobody wants to loan for (not even the government) perhaps they would find a way to scale down the project, start earning profits (or demonstrate how the profits will come as the project is scaled up). Perhaps some loan agency will specialize in large risky loans (at a higher price), and perhaps we will (god forbids) re-invent the stock market.

If I am wrong and I overestimate the resourcefulness of the private enterprise. Then the government can always kick in and fund the deployment of those solar panels. After all we do need them, and there is no risk for the government (well the risk is the other direction of letting those solar panels go undeployed and risk a runaway climate disaster; hence the green new deal).
Well your scenario is obviously playing out to be true, this doesn’t mean that we need to degrade privacy on all fronts. It’s reasonable to me that someone might have to disclose that they have a communicable disease yet still have privacy in the vast majority of areas of their life. Heck, before the pandemic this was already the case; you can be prosecuted in many countries for the intentional (or intentionally undisclosed) transmission of HIV.

Talk about privacy reminds me of Wittgenstein’s Philisophical Investigations, in which he expounds that we get into so much conceptual trouble when we try to use words like “truth” in the abstract instead of looking at cases where people actually say that word. Privacy is not a single right or a single action, it is an umbrella term for hundreds of unrelated things. Privacy means totally different things in the following scenarios:

- at the doctors office
- at a nude beach
- in a changing room
- between neighbors
- among parents and children
- a “private person” (i.e. someone who doesn’t share their thoughts readily)
- private enterprise
Ironically, as far as I'm concerned, excellent poetry _is_ about as close as writing gets to "pure ideas" (or at the very least pure emotion). Average poetry, maybe not so much.

I think, as usual, there's a lot of nuance here. I think emotion is inextricably linked to almost all forms of communication, and that there's not such a bright line between fiction and non fiction in that regard.

The books that have taught me the most are not necessarily the ones with the most information density or even the most clarity of thought (although both help). The ones that have really conveyed their points effectively to me have all had an element of weaving them into a narrative that I could engage with, examine from different angles, absorb and remember.

But I'm also pretty sympathetic to the idea of cutting fluff at all opportunities and getting to the root of what you want to say - that's the one thing that's improved my writing the most.

Rsync.net looks great but the storage cost is 5x B2 unfortunately

EDIT: As mentioned below this is for the most expensive (lowest capacity) tier. I’d been comparing for my own home use and so I would be unlikely to exceed 10TB but if you’re looking at higher capacity then maybe the calculus is different.
It depends on customer base.
This is B2B solution so I assume when she picks up the phone the caller is someone who values own time.

That way she can hear about frequent needs of users who don't buy the thing when it lacks some essential feature, also could upsell existing extensions or the boxed version. Customers often have no idea of potential the software offers.

Simply it is support+marketing+sales number.
Trouble is, lots of laptops are subtly (or not so subtly) damaged over time by extra stuff being closed in the lid. Apple laptops, notably, but plenty of others too. It'd be much better for it to be built-in. Covers also ruin the (absolutely wonderful and hard to do without, once you're used to it) True Tone feature on Apple laptops, so they'd need some kind of secondary ultra-low-res never-exposed-as-a-real-camera color-temp sensor to properly support either built-in or add-on camera covers or kill-switches while still letting that work.

(I'm basically agreeing and elaborating, not correcting you, since your point isn't that that's a great solution, but that it's more proof that more than just security geeks and computer nerds consider this a problem)
Dear Art Lover!

Our team is delighted to present to you our new app What The Art. Here you will get fun art courses that easily fit your schedule! The best art experts were involved in creating this app to explain the most complicated art things in simple words.

Why did we focus on art history?

Have you ever felt awkward and bored in the museum?
Can’t make conversation about art because you lack art knowledge?
Didn’t understand what was going on while people were amazed by the painting?
Missed the style and good taste?
Failed to notice beauty in everyday things?
Do you seek a way out of the constant scrolling and want to feed your brain with something interesting?

Our team answered “YES” to all of these questions and went down to developing the What The Art app.

Our goal is to make people fall for the art and add a little bit of aesthetics to their everyday life.

We have just launched our app with the top 16 paintings, artists, and painting styles courses. Now we need your feedback to make our app even better for you:
What topics and features do you want to see on the app?
Do you like the interface?
How much time would you spend on the app?
What are you motivated by getting new knowledge?

We appreciate your feedback!

First, even if what you say is true, you go to work to get money that you can use to play GameStop, or crypto, or whatever you think the magic money source will be.

But, people are getting rich with GameStop? Maybe some. Some lost their shirts. They generated a lot of press, and the press made it look like everyone was getting insanely rich for nothing. But they were playing a very dangerous game, and many people lost enough to hurt.

Don't chase that. The odds are against you getting life-changing money by finding the right place that will rain money on you. The odds are much better that you will find frustration because you can never get it to work, and that you will lose money trying.

Instead, you need to come to the place where you are OK with a highly-publicized small minority of other people making significant money for stupid reasons. Yes, you didn't get that. Go build a life for yourself anyway.

Money has become a joke. NFTs are just bits, and so are dollars.
The areas using nuclear are some of the most densely populated areas in North America, hugging the US border, and adjacent to the great lakes (in fact the generating stations are right on the lakes). Transporting the waste out is a constant risk, and there's been some rather disturbing proposals to do things like store the waste in an underground dump near Lake Huron, upstream from the water supply for the 3rd/4th biggest city in North America.

So, no, I don't think your analysis applies here.

> who demand premium service when encountering a bug

In the same vein, I have a bully, he both writes me on my professional email (to ask me for reparations), AND writes me on public forums 12hrs later asking why I didn’t answer him yet. So it is not only free users who expect premium service, nowadays even bullies expect 12-hrs response ;)

(For all I’m concerned, he can go to court if he really believes I owe him something, I give it 0% chance, but he’s clinging to his illusions).
I guess that exposes some of my 'need to work' preconceived notions.
It reflects that they might not do interviews so well, but it just doesn’t seem to say anything worth extrapolating to your day to day at that company. Some of the best jobs I’ve had were at companies where engineers ruled and also were the ones sucking at conducting interviews. At those places it was almost a good signal that the interviews sucked. A group of people solving interesting problems, not optimizing for applicant comfort in an interview. Oh well.
As I was reading this I was thinking back to recent articles about the challenges with sensors for autonomous vehicles, LIDAR vs. optical, etc. - sensors based on this technology may be what we really need to make autonomous vehicles practical. Interesting stuff!

>Then won't notifications from this utility also get buried?

I think the idea is that the upcoming calendar/appointment notification is live and always on the menubar. See example screenshot from their web landing page: https://superpowered.me/static/media/menubar.aaa56b48.png

I'm building a similar calendar notification tool for personal use on Windows so I understand the value of this. Calendar notifications via email and "reminders" on the iPhone are not effective for my workflow and I need something that's always active on my menu bar.

Where does the UBI money come from? How do we pay for UBI?

In year 1, Bob has extra money. By year 3 Bob's rent goes up. Did Bob's UBI go up proportionally to his rent? After a few years, Bob ends up in the same place - unless we keep injecting more money over time, which creates inflation.
Great, so give Bob a scholarship, or a grant, or welfare, or just a gift. Something that gives him that hand-up but without turning into a permanent right.

If UBI becomes a right, and you raise a generation who doesn't need to work, what do you do when there's a recession? Cut UBI and watch the riots start? Or drive off the cliff at speed because the non-working class can't be denied?

My worst experience was doing a simple min/max of each signal took 7x longer than the simulation. I'd be so happy to toss TCL in the trash. I spent a long time debugging because TCL expr doesn't do -2^2 correctly. The error messages don't tell you the line number and I found no good way to debug. Things like that are just the tip of the iceberg of time wasted fighting with arcane tools. I suppose others have their own stories.
The headline reminds me of the expression, "Theory is underdetermined by data" [0].

Seems to me that the only way the headline could be true is if we use the older definition of "prove": to test.

I imagine this is just another case of a university PR writer displaying his ignorance, to the great consternation of the researchers.

For an alternate take, as a developer I really don't have a problem with downloading and running it myself. If I were seriously evaluating it, I would 1) have to do that anyway, and 2) a hosted demo wouldn't be sufficient.

Not offering the demo may be a problem for tourists who aren't seriously considering this, but probably not for parties that are in the process of looking for something like this for a real use case.

My ~4 year old LG OLED had a firmware update last week and the Automatic Content Recognition license agreement option was clicked automatically - I.e. your TV will record and send clips of what you are watching (even your own home movies) and send it to a server to determine what the content is so that it can serve you personalised ads.

Does that Trap SMC bit in SYS_APL_HID1_EL1 let you setup a poor man's PSCI even though there's no real EL3? Or is that something different?

And do you think that all those HIDn registers are more PASemi legacy? The PowerPCs are known for HID SPRs being a grab bag of random one off features and chicken bits in a very similar way.
Living frugally implies living in a low cost of living area. Practically none of these people are preaching that you can maintain your same lifestyle and just magically cut 80% of your expenses (the trick is finding the cuts that save lots of money but don’t sacrifice as much quality of life). You’re not going to do it in Southern California. I would go so far as to claim that anyone preaching FIRE concepts in California is probably not eating their own dog food or has some other consideration that doesn’t apply to most people (has a big inheritance/trust fund, sold a company, had their parents give them their house, etc.) If you want to do FIRE and aren’t just rich already, you definitely have to live elsewhere. You’re going to do it in a remote area with crappy internet and cold winters. You can do it with a family, but your kids will complain and you had better hope your spouse is on board. It’s clearly not for everyone. If it were easy lots of people would do it.
That's a good point. There's definitely ways to optimize for less memory usage. We've been prioritizing feature development, but plan to focus on this before we start scaling.

Could there be a compromise solution possible like, dunno, using Standard Time half of the year and Daylight Saving Time the other half?

Just kidding, of course. Yeah, I'm in the same camp. If you need to wake up earlier, tell people to wake up earlier, do not redefine time. What's next, redefining meter, because sticks shorter than one meter are more convenient to use? Businesses would probably lobby to redefine time, so we can work more, while nominally having 8-hour workdays.
