Sure. When we create meetings in Google Calendar (in the desktop browser; never tried anywhere else) we can add a video conferencing link to the invitation. These can either be a Google Meet link, or a Zoom meeting link (through our Zoom integration with Google Calendar). I have linked macOS's Calendar.app with Google Calendar. In Calendar.app this link is still present inside of the calendar event in the LOCATION field[0] although you can't actually see or edit it in there, odd. Then Next Meeting makes a drop down menu in my menubar where the title is the name of my next meeting. Clicking any of the items in the menu opens Calendar where I need to click the Zoom link in the text of the description of the meeting. However if I hit my shortcut key (with or without Next Meeting's menu open) it opens up the meeting link in the browser which then, in JS, does something like

window.location = `zoommtg://us02web.zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=${meetingIdFromUrl}`

thusly opening my meeting in zoom. I'm guessing that all Next Meeting does is run the command line utility `open` with the contents of the LOCATION field from the ICS file corresponding to the entry. Actually I looked at the version history and since it used to always open them in Chrome that's probably not the case. Also I tried to write an app that would call command line utilities and it was a bear to get the permissions. Possibly impossible.

The only public code[1] I could find for this project by this author is 13 years old and lacks any code to open the meeting links or handle hotkeys of any kind. The github user has a different name than the project author (who has his own empty github profile elsewhere) so

[0] In fact we can see this by using a recursive grep in ~/Library for the name of one of my meetings. This turned up ~/Library/Calendars/<some UUID>.caldav/<some other UUID>.calendar/Events/<Unique identifier in a format I don't recognize><ISO 8601 timestamp>@googlecom-<different ISO 8601 timestamp>.ics

all of the people were having issues with a patched game (version 1.1) - no idea if it ever got fixed or not, i don't have that game to test. Other than some weirdness on 3rd party games i've never noticed any slowdown on any games i've played.
The academic article's abstract explains the research better:
> We present the results from an observing campaign to confirm the peculiar motion of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in J0437+2456 first reported in Pesce et al. Deep observations with the Arecibo Observatory have yielded a detection of neutral hydrogen (H i) emission, from which we measure a recession velocity of 4910 km s−1 for the galaxy as a whole. We have also obtained near-infrared integral field spectroscopic observations of the galactic nucleus with the Gemini North telescope, yielding spatially resolved stellar and gas kinematics with a central velocity at the innermost radii (0farcs1 ≈ 34 pc) of 4860 km s−1. Both measurements differ significantly from the ~4810 km s−1 H2O megamaser velocity of the SMBH, supporting the prior indications of a velocity offset between the SMBH and its host galaxy. However, the two measurements also differ significantly from one another, and the galaxy as a whole exhibits a complex velocity structure that implies that the system has recently been dynamically disturbed. These results make it clear that the SMBH is not at rest with respect to the systemic velocity of the galaxy, though the specific nature of the mobile SMBH—i.e., whether it traces an ongoing galaxy merger, a binary black hole system, or a gravitational-wave recoil event—remains unclear. [1]

Specifically, I was interested in how they measured the galactic velocity vs the SMBH velocity. It turns out that they have 3 velocity measures:

- galaxy as a whole recession velocity of 4910 km s−1

- center of the galaxy (specifically central velocity at the innermost radii (0farcs1 ≈ 34 pc)) of 4860 km s−1

- SMBH velocity: ~4810 km s−1

These 3 numbers differ enough from each other that it opens more questions than it answers. As the authors note, "system has recently been dynamically disturbed" but it could be explained by several possibilities including:

- an ongoing galaxy merger

- a binary black hole system

- a gravitational-wave recoil event

I love how as we get more precise measurements of all these moving bodies / systems, we will be able to piece together exactly the causes of things.

Market Manipulation Chatter Rises as Digital Art Scene Explodes
I've noticed this as well and I really think there's a market for a simple self-hosted cloud server. Many people aren't comfortable with managing a server and all the tech aspects that come with it. What I envision is a bring-your-own server solution that provides recommended specs (or buy from the company as a funding source) and similar to the app store you can download containerized app, let's say from docker, with 0 technical knowledge. Just a nice UI and all the functionality automated so the user doesn't have to do anything but click a button and maybe a settings page for really basic stuff. There can be an open library that just links to docker hub or whatever other platform as well as a curated library. It should all be encrypted and secure by default. It should all serve on localhost with an option screen to specify UI or hookup your own domain to access remotely. Again, UX is key here to abstract everything away from the user and make it stupid simple to use. From what I've seen, people would love to host their own services but either don't have the technical know-how or don't want to deal with managing their own server or AWS or whatever other droplet solution.

There is much truth in many of the things that the Rabbi has said in this article, but one claim that is patently untrue is that Kamala Harris' ancestors owned slaves. Kamala Harris' father is Donald Harris, who is likely the son of indentured laborers who were brought into the West Indies to grow sugarcane. Her mother is Shyamala Harris, whose parents are Brahmins. Brahmins have traditionally been among the elite classes in India, and practiced abhorrent things such as untouchability, but did not generally own slaves, as they were mostly a priestly class who dominated scholarly pursuits such as writing, literature, music etc., and have long been a mainstay of the professional workforce (lawyers, clerks, bureaucrats, doctors, engineers etc.). In current-day India, Brahmins wield little political power. In fact, they are systematically excluded from politics (they are a very tiny class numerically, much like the Jews, and thus don't have caste supporters in sufficient numbers to matter), college places etc.

Crazy times!
> If A→B→C and A→D→C are indistinguishable

This would violate unitarity.
Social science studies tend to be agenda driven, too.
Another way of look at this is time-symmetry.

T-symmetry says that the laws of physics look the same even regardless of if you are traveling forwards or backwards in time.

Classically speaking, T-symmetry would suggest that A→B→C and A→D→C should be impossible, because the time-reversed universe starting at C can have only state.

On the other hand, if you assume T-symmetry, and that it is possible to create superposition, then there must be a case, C → |B> + |D>, where state C goes into a superposition of states B and D. This means that it is no longer a violation of T-symettry for us to have both B → C and D → C. At least from the perspective of someone living in the universe. Under a many worlds interpretation T-symmetry would require you to say that the starting state of both B → C and D → C were actually the superposition all along. However, for someone living in the universe, it would be impossible to tell the difference between the universe being in one of the two states, or a superposition of both.

This is another way of saying that T-symmetry implies that all possible histories must have occured.

It is worth mentioning, that T-symmetry is believed to be false. However, CPT-symmetry (charge, parity, time) is thought to hold and I think the overall argument above still makes sense under CPT symmetry.

Sure. I still try to put in layers of security anyway. Rather than just: fuck it.
Sure, and it never hurts to do the math for your particular situation. Being in California I'm probably paying about the same as you per kWh. I do think 20W delta is rather optimistic, since the last time I checked a decade ago, laptops only consume 10-15W at idle, and pi's likely consume at least a few watts themselves. Laptop hardware is generally pretty good about reliably suspending to ram and resuming.

My general point is that there's a lot of externalized costs to consider depending on what you're trying to optimize for. For example, I live in a somewhat chilly area most of the year, and part of my home is electrically heated rather than by natural gas. I don't particularly care how efficient any electronics are in that part of the house (when I'm using them) because that electricity is converted into useful heat just as well as a space heater would do it.
FlexLM was remarkably easy to defeat, though. I did it in about 10 minutes with truss and a preloaded library in the early 00s.

What nobody wants to talk about is that it might take several more years for things to go back to somewhat normal.

1) considering the astronomical fees of uniswap currently I think Coinbase is fine. Even when fees will be fixed you still can only swap erc20 tokens and ether, not currencies from other cryptos. Projects like Axelar might change that though as they’ll be able to support cross swaps between different blockchains.

Looks like you can get those scanners used for pretty reasonable prices. Maybe if I've got a house one day and I think the odds of having to move within a few years are low I'll get into it and try setting up a lab.

Yep, and on top of that we're not limited by the sRGB gamut or bit depth issues of early digital cameras. Recent ones produce raw files that are extremely easy to develop and manipulate into something very nice looking.

The thing is, even on top of the enjoyment some people get out of working with film, if you're after a particular film-like look you might be able to save yourself a significant amount of post-processing time by just going with film. I've seen no one-click filter that can approximate it.

We had different inflation stats back in the day. The US government has been slowly changing them. This guy uses the old official methodology to calculate inflation today. He gets way higher inflation using the old methodology and plugging in todays numbers.

There is a lot of controversy here, but I think inflation is definitely higher than reported.

Thank you, that is an interesting insight.

Personally I don't find the Empathising–systemising theory convincing, it seems as a false dichotomy to me. On the other hand I just remembered that my father's use of the word systematic in the above sense predates this theory because that's how he happened to describe me when I was a child.

"Object-oriented programming is out of fashion now"

For reasons. So, no, we do not need a new language whose chief organizing principle is inheritance--a poor match for the majority of problems. We know better.

In fact, we don't need a new language. We have lots of languages already, enough so that the few newer ones that have above-average merit are failing to attract enough users to become viable, and bad old languages (C, Javascript, Java, C#) maintain their lead.

If you imagine your new language will be better than any of the already existing languages, think again. A language that doesn't exist has no flaws. Once it starts to exist, you will need to make choices. Sometimes the right choice will not be obvious, with valid arguments for both alternatives. Sometimes there will not be a "right" choice; each alternative leads the language in a different and objectively valid direction. And sometimes a previous choice will box you into the objectively wrong choice, later.

For every existing language, those have all happened, over and over again. Languages are products of humans, and each is riddled with imperfections and compromises. That is the human condition.

So, right now your language is perfect, like all others that don't exist. Make it, and it joins a large crowd of variously imperfect languages competing for painfully limited attention.

Being wrong at the outset on the desirability of a new O-O language (with functional crossover features!), what are the odds it will be even nearly as good as any of the half-dozen best in its target category?

Maybe a better choice would be to join in making the current best in that category more viable. That one will probably still fizzle--it is the natural fate of any language, save a miracle--but its odds are a hundred times better than yours.

And, who knows? You might even choose right and make a difference.
> One is harder to understand than the other because it requires knowledge of YAML, Kubernetes, Nginx, httpbin, REST, and extremely complex regular expressions.

I don't really think this is right. Saying that understanding the presented solution requires knowledge of YAML, Kubernetes, and httpbin is like saying that understanding a solution in C with printf requires knowledge of file descriptors and terminal control codes. That's stuff the solution is built on, but you don't include it in your understanding of the solution.

Ask your interview candidate how printf works, and odds are they'll be stumped. But if we don't require that in order to understand the printf solution, why do we need to understand how the primitives of the Kubernetes solution work in order to understand that solution?

Except Waymo has better tech, is working toward a similar goal, and has a stronger balance sheet. Google has a history of dropping the ball on opportunities, but unlike cloud computing, they're already a leader in this space.
