Maybe they’re not almost, but less encumbered by it than more severe cases.

The thing about a spectrum is it makes room for people who, by necessity or will, share the symptomatic experience but lack some of the disabling impact. The benefit of that inclusion is that those people are able to benefit from a diagnosis and relevant treatment even if they’re not in the direst straits.

In my own experience, this meant that I was able to begin treatment for ADHD even though I’d had over a decade as a successful adult. And that treatment saved my life. Sure, I made it that far with what I could scrap together in myself and my luck in life. But when that wasn’t enough, my “moderate” case revealed its severity. If I’d had access to that diagnosis and care earlier it probably wouldn’t have ever been so severe.
I'm one of the rare weirdos who really likes the feel of the butterfly keyboard. I love the snappy, tappy reaction. The new "magic" keyboards feel mushy in comparison.

BUT… my 2016 MBP is on its third keyboard, and seems ready for a fourth.

AND… for four years I've been wondering if my typing has been getting progressively worse worse; a couple weeks ago I picked up an M1 Air as a kind of stopgap while waiting for the M1 16".

LO AND BEHOLD: my typing accuracy got better overnight. That fraction of a millimeter between the keys makes a huge difference.

I love the butterfly keyboard. It was a disaster. RIP.
Both my work macbook pro and my personal macbook air have keyboard issues. My personal skips or double hits the letter “e”, which has been a nightmare because I’ve been writing a book the whole time. My work laptop is worse, the command key doesn’t work most of the time. Sometimes I try to copy something, I’ll hit command-c and instead it’ll overwrite my selection with “c”. So I try to undo and hit command-z, so it’ll write “cz”, I hit a number of time which gets me “czzzzzz” (which is funny if I’m on VC and sharing my screen). Then the undo works, I try to copy again, and I hit the same issue again. Im convinced that my mental health has taken a toll in parts due to this. I’m also convinced I have many typos in my book because of this as well.
It is not disingenuous.

WSL is a taboo term in the Arch Linux community, for one reason or the other. If you search for it in the Wiki, you get redirected to the Code of Conduct.

It is less about being irrelevant and more of a "we do not want to deal with that in any official capacity because of unspecified reasons."
Sorry but this is a lie.

Canada put all their eggs in the CanSino vaccine even though they knew they had a bad relationship with China. This summer China conveniently blocked all progress and Canada was left scrambling. Blame Trudeau not the US.
Last I heard internally there hasn't even been an official Windows OS team for the last couple years after Myerson left. It's been divvied up and split apart into parts of Azure, etc.
this is why I use a password manager that has no network connectivity whatsoever, and no browser integration. keepassx with a v2.0 keepass format file.

it works from a local file on disk. yes, it's more inconvenient if I am away from the computer it lives on, and I need to update a password, I have to connect the VPN to my home office, ssh to it, and run 'kpcli' (a keepass format command line program), or run keepassx in a vnc-over-ssh session.

but that hassle is worth it in my opinion.

only the faintest smallest part of me has a fear these almost certainly rubbish piece of as you wisely dub echo chamber POS will stay around for anywhere near long enough for it's presence to be recorded for posterity. some old plinths, mostly buried in sand, here is the kingdom of Ozymandias, loon of loons.
I have said everything and I have nothing to add. All I can say is, it is easy to defend unfairness when it benefits oneself, rather than when it hurts them. You see the same thing with the discussions about structural racism, when those who benefit from the existing system defend the status quo, not because they are moustache-twirling villains, but because human mind has a way of convincing them what is in their benefit is what is good and just. Rich people genuinely believe reducing taxes on the rich benefits everyone; lobbyists truly believe in what they lobby for; etc.

As someone on the other end of this, I cannot agree with your standpoint. "Countries should secure vaccines for all their citizens before exporting any vaccine" translates to "in an ideal world a few thousand more Canadians would die to save a dozen or so Americans/British/Europeans, and it's all fair and just" because that's the final outcome of the policies you advocate for. I imagine you are looking at this from the POV of someone who benefits from this (perhaps you are a resident of US or UK) so you have convinced yourself this is the best approach. I cannot agree.

> For every elderly person they vaccinate in some other country, it's one elderly or at-risk person in the E.U. who isn't getting vaccinated.

No. US is saying "no vaccine for anyone else until we have vaccine for every American" not just elderly Americans. While the US is busy putting vaccines in stockpile for 16 years olds, other nations' 90 years olds will die.

So ... you're saying it's the their own fault and Substack should keep the money?
Any recommendations for a cheaper usb dac?

Edit: one that I could connect both headphones and speakers to and switch between each would be sweet.
Here's another report today of someone wrongly paying $2023 per year for a Substack newsletter: https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1374019267147018243/p...

Maybe it's the same subscriber and/or same publisher as in this blog post? If not, that would either be a very unhappy coincidence or a strong signal to Substack that they need to fix this issue.
What’s the description?
You've apparently missed my point entirely. Well done.

I am talking about the malware itself...

Pretend you write malware. Your malware does what you want it to do: it destroys data. Is the data destruction a bug? Nope. Not a defect, either. It's a feature; the intended effect.

Docker intended for Docker Desktop to auto update. So, it's not a bug, but a feature. Misguided feature? Sure. User-hostile feature? Yep! It's a feature, anyway.
I am genuinely unsure whether your RFC was intended to be serious or not.
The author knew from the beginning it wouldn't "cost them $2023", but that it would most likely be solved by a simple support request. The title is misleading.
NGOs, quangos and charities are all corrupt by default. They have no reason not to be corrupt.

IMO these things should either a) be actual businesses, accountable to the market, or b) be actual government agencies, accountable through political mechanisms. When we try to blur the lines we all too often end up with the worst of both worlds. Unfortunately the general public hears "non-profit" and assumes that means an organisation that's more likely to respect their interests, when in fact the reverse is true.
Clearly Substack. A UI that let's you specify 10X a price with no confirmation is (unintentionally in this case) malicious.

This story could have easily been written about a user who fat fingered an extra 0 in the field.
"Interesting that you chose QEMU and not, say, WINE, which definitely gets discussed even by Windows users."

I've no idea what WSL is as such (virty, para-virty, emulator or whatever) but I do know what WINE and QEMU are and I run quite a lot of VMware and Hyper-V clusters.

I have a fair few employees who insist that Windows is lovely (mad fools.) They really don't spend much time discussing Linux virty technologies.

It is possible I've been a Windows sysadmin longer than you have been on the planet. I'm 50 and 30 years in the saddle.
Easy to find the chinese bots here.
Feel free to quote or link the passage where he says it does no harm. If you cannot find one, you’ll issue an apology to RMS for falsely defaming him, right? That’s what it’s called when you claim someone says pedophilia does no harm when they didn’t say that.
Serious question: how long are techies going to tolerate the dodgy operating system for society that is our government?

Why not demand the use of better tooling to force some transparency onto the system?

Just because a lot of people are commenting on this without seeing the form, if you go here[1] you can see it in action (no association with the page, it was the first one that turned up on Google).

A couple of takeaways missed by various comments:

The hidden input box can in fact be manually edited, and if the user selects "Founding member" that fact is highlighted (the cursor is inserted into the textbox).

The hidden input's name attribute is "value". The guess that 1Password is basing its guess on the "/year" text is probably accurate.

> You’re deriving this from an incorrect mental model where nobody “wants to steal” and they do it out of desperation.

Wow, I’m not thinking that way at all. If that’s how it came across, I did a really bad job at explaining myself!

I don’t want to get into a huge thing, especially on an old thread, but what I was trying to get across is that I don’t think it’s good enough to just look at someone who commits a crime and say that it happened because they are ‘bad’, that all the blame is theirs, that society has no culpability.

When I say “need”, I don’t mean destitution. So take your example of stealing for a thrill. Why aren’t they getting enough thrill in other parts of their life? What easier or better thrill could be offered instead that doesn’t involve hurting other people? They clearly have an unfulfilled need for a thrill, and they are fulfilling it by stealing.

When I say “skills”, I don’t mean like job skills. I mean things like the skill of knowing how to talk through anger instead of physically attacking somebody. The skills of emotional regulation. Stuff that may be natural and intuitive for some, but foreign and unknown to others.

I believe that if we handled crime the same way we handle things like plane crashes—investigate without judging, look at more than just the individual, and help people instead of punishing them—there would be much less crime, it would be less serious, and suffering would be immensely reduced. But it’s way harder than just going “well, this person’s a piece of shit and they deserve be imprisoned until they’re 80 years old”.

People who care about correctness wouldn't be using C/C++ in the first place. The culture of those languages is performance above all else, and it only gets worse as more and more "moderates" move to memory-safe languages, leaving only the extremists left.
The performance of modern Rust is competitive with C++.
Thanks for these! Some people at GitLab are looking at your post.
I think this article [1] does a pretty good job. (#1 result when I Google for “optimal typing posture”). Only thing I’d disagree with is I prefer to have my horizontally aligned with the midpoint of my monitor, to ease pressure on the neck.

Another thing it mentions but doesn’t visualize is the effect of having a split keyboard. Without the split, your shoulders are in a strained position while typing. You can practice this with a “ghost” keyboard and paying attention to your shoulder muscles, it makes a big difference!

Table top fusors do not produce the same amount of neutron flux as the cold fusion result (with huge amounts of heat production) would imply. Just a few neutrons here or there with fusors.
Tusky complies with the spirit of the definition. More accurately, its list of blocked servers is entirely unrelated to whether or not it's free software. Again, the FSF explicitly says of freedom 0:

> This has nothing to do with what functionality the program has, whether it is technically capable of functioning in any given environment, or whether it is useful for any particular computing activity.

What part of your quote does Tusky violate? It's GPL3. Even if you consider that block list a malicious feature (I don't), you are allowed to take it out and distribute a "corrected" version.
FWIW, I enjoy the touch bar.

I have a few custom keys, one which runs a script that finds my airpods, connects, turns on eq (boom), starts spotify, sets volume my normal level, hits play.

I do hate it when the touchbar crashes and requires a reboot, but I've gotten so much milage out of my script keys that I'd rather keep it.
...directly proportional to the amount of heat produced (which was a lot).
Yeah, I feel the old "relax on the beach for the rest of your life" trope is trotted out often enough but is fantastically unrealistic. I wouldn't say that literally no one would be happy doing that, but I feel like it'd be incredibly rare.

For myself, I'd probably be happy to tinker with open source software and small electronics projects for most of my days, along with some language-learning, cooking experimentation, and other random hobbies, and relaxing, therapeutic tasks like playing with my cat (perhaps similar in feel to tending gardens).

> ... when thinking about what retirement really means.

The nice thing about approaching retirement from a FI perspective is that retirement can mean whatever you want it to mean, within your financial projections, at least.

> Really enjoying your posts. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

And yours as well! Thank you!
Find a different industry. You can make 6 figures in des Moines and they assume you only work 40 hours.

Mind you I know several people who did that for a while and then decided insurance software is soul sucking and so they took a pay cut to work for someone else with more meaning in life. (But they didn't leave des Moines so still 40 hour weeks )
I thought it was an interesting article, I would be interested if he eventually dives into the math of it though.
Exactly. This is also the reason why developers don't want autocomplete - the data is so much lower quality.

So developers started by breaking browser autocomplete, to which browsers responded by ignoring developer preferences, to which developers respond with different tricks...
I run an LLC. The main product is honey (I'm a beekeeper) and I also sell craft items, such as candles and road-kill fur products.

A lot of my other hobbies are not money makers but at least money savers. I have a garden, hunt, brew my own beer, make my own wine, and perform all sorts of home repair.
> Maybe you wouldn't have so many versions if you slowed down and actually took the time to make sure each version you do eventually release was more stable...?

Considering that containers and orchestration is still a rapidly changing field I disagree with this assessment.

Congratulations to the Crystal team! I know many Rubyists who would love to write a language with the runtime benefits of Go, but values and design principles of Ruby. For those looking to get into a young ecosystem, Crystal looks like a great option.

As for other Ruby alternatives, I moved from Ruby to Elixir a few years ago. Immutable data and OTP more than make up for the language's lack of static typing in my mind. There is also Gleam, which I'm watching for now.

One of these days I'll dig into Rust, which fills a similar niche that Crystal would.
"Just don't use it. Just quit your job, stop paying your rent". This advice is precisely as useful as people that scream "move to Canada" at anyone who suggests we make any political progress.

It benefits everyone if we improve software. It benefits nobody if everyone never reports their problems and simply quietly disappears and quit their job when something in the software they use needs to be fixed -- and I think it's pretty obvious that course of action is unreasonable and unworkable.
Steam turbines are used everywhere today. Inside power plants, nuclear submarines etc. etc.
Everyone likes easy cash. Adding 50k/yr at the click of a button seems pretty compelling, and consider that the mere existence of alternatives may force Substack to renegotiate contracts woth high profile writers. But even if you ignore this, it's still a nascent space, Substack has not captured all the writers out there, and I think the fee will definitely be part of the package that writers care about.

Substack should try to provide more value, but if it can't, this seems like it will be a problem for them since there is little competitive moat here.
That is not an informed opinion at all. The C++ people I know ALL care about correctness... That's why they use C++. They want to make sure it's done correctly, and not left to some node package that barely works.
doesn't it largely stem from Prop 13 which incentivizes all current land-owners to block any possibility of increasing density, at the expense of the rest of society?

It's interesting to me that such a universally easy sell as, "no new taxes" can result in such a distorted and, IMO, grotesque unintended consequence.
Thunderbird got mothballed for a few years as Mozilla no longer saw it as a priority so it was only receiving small fixes and patches in the ESR channel. After a long process of pushing from some motivated developers it recently was de-coupled from Mozilla in order to allow it to live or die by it's own communities initiative.

Since it's spin-off it's been developed at breakneck speeds to desperately bring it up to par with modern Firefox (they share back-end technologies) in order to make it's development more sustainable and predictable. Unfortunately this has been a strain on add-on developers like myself. I was maintain the lookout TNEF parsing plugin however due to the pace of the changes and an increase in lack of time I'm now only putting out small fires

> my Power Mac 7300 in 2000 had 192MB and I thought that was a lot

Back in 1998 when Unreal came out, I had a friend at high school who had a PII 450 with 128MB and a Voodoo 2. So jealous! Simpler times.
>What if we could have stopped it by catching it early?

So we should be aggressively researching all the known possible future causes, not wasting time trying to figure out what the exact cause this time was.

>Knowing whether it was a lab leak or zoonotic would be a massive hint in the direction to invest

We know both are possible causes, investing in just the one that caused this leaves us open to the other.
Realistically you can't retire, not with two pre-teen kids.

But you can take a comfortable number of years off though and it is very nice to do that. Decompress, spend tons of time with those pre-teen kids while they still are that age.

I took about 3 years off in my 40s when my child was starting elementary school. Spent all my afternoons playing with the kid and all mornings (school time) working on my personal projects at home. Highly recommended!

With 2.8M while you can't retire forever, you also won't have any urgency to find a new job so you can be picky when you start looking, like I was. Finding a new job can be difficult if you're desperate for it, but with no urgency you can hold out for a great job.
I hear what you are saying, but it's a bad place to be in when one person can be so critical they can charge that much for four days work.

I feel for them but they failed to protect themselves.
From Wikipedia: "After proposing the vehicle's design, and presenting the analysis to demonstrate its viability, the Blackbird team learned that others had previously conceived and built similar designs—most notably aerodynamics engineer Andrew B. Bauer, later with the Douglas Aircraft Company, built and demonstrated such a vehicle in 1969, based on an analysis presented in a student's paper from some 20 years earlier."
Based on what he was accused of? You want all of your friends to ditch you based on an accusation? Regardless of the Epstein thing, this is not a take that you have given much thought.

I could accuse you right now of touching 5 year olds in the park, and by your own claim, you would want all of your friends to abandon you.

Your whole rationale about power imbalances doesn’t even make sense in this context. He is writing unix tools, not running a daycare.
Before reading the article, I would say because obviously the rich can, and are, fleeing population centers because of covid, while the poor mostly can't and aren't?

<skims the article>

"With covid-19 largely shutting down the perks of city life, many tenants who had the means to leave did so. Higher-wage workers who were juggling remote work and virtual school sought out more space, often purchasing a house in the ’burbs."

Exactly.

James Mahaffey, Atomic Adventures (Pegasus:2018 Reprint): 'A couple of things about the announced phenomenon bothered me greatly. Both Pons and Fleischmann had claimed over and over that their apparatus was producing “tremendous” heat and “measurable” neutrons. On the news, they were shown hovering over their operating fusion reactor, closely examining the apparatus as the oxygen and deuterium bubbled. That didn’t make any sense. It
should have been the other way around—tremendous neutrons making measureable heat. If they were, in fact, making tremendous heat, then they would have been killed by the heavy neutron flux and secondary radiations broadcasting out of the unshielded deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction. Maybe the problem was their definition of “tremendous?” The cooling water in which the fusion cell was suspended wasn’t boiling or even misting up their glasses.'
Password managers aren't nearly intelligent enough to be used without copy and paste for sensitive forms.

One example is how almost every password manager including the built-in one in most browsers will assume that if there's a type="password" field, then the previous sibling field must be the username. Sometimes they'll even pick a field far away in the DOM like your chatbox input to autofill with the username.

So imagine a form like this:

Amount to transfer: <input type="number">
From account ID: <input type="text">
Confirm password: <input type="password">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>

I found that there's no good hackless way to allow a password manager to autofill the password without touching the other fields with a username or some other quirk like just clearing your inputs. Even a fix like opening a modal with the lone password confirmation field doesn't necessarily fix it in all browser/OS configurations.

Password managers are braindead and browsers don't give you any tools to help.
