Lol, yeah. I realized something was wrong when my resting heart rate was in the low 50s, but the cardiologist I talked to wasn't too concerned about it being an emergency, so just scheduled an echocardiogram and a treadmill test. When I went into the hospital for that, I was at 34bpm, but the echocardiogram technician kept a straight face and said, "all I do is take the pictures". When I went to the next room for the treadmill test, I gave the nurse practitioner a warning that I would most certainly black out after 20 seconds. She hooked me up to a 12-lead ECG, looked at the waveforms, then stepped out of the room nervously. She came back and said they were sending me to the ER on a stretcher! Being capable of walking, I negotiated down to a wheelchair. While I waited in the triage area with a portable ECG monitor on my lap, as various paramedics came in and out they glanced down at the display, got excited in disbelief about how I was upright and smiling rather than unconscious, then asked if they could glance through my chart for the learning experience.

21 bpm was measured while I was bundled up like a burrito in a microwave for a cardiac MRI. The machine has to synchronize to your pulse to only collect data between beats. Since my rate was so low, each scan pass took about 4x longer than usual, while having to hold my breath. That was a very long hour of my life.

For a while it was a bit of a Dr. House episode, between the root cause being unknown, and the pacemaker having a reliability issue that needed debugging. I estimate about a dozen cardiologists poked and prodded me. They even had a "conference" with something like 30 people, and it being a teaching hospital, they also did a case study.

I'm doing a lot better now, thanks to smart doctors and the marvels of modern medical technology.
I think you've pretty much hit the nail squarely on the head.

Well in this case it's fully deserved. I was in shock when G started nudging me to share my photo albums. They came pretty close to scamming me into sharing random crap I would never imagine sharing (reminiscent of Linkedin scraping and blasting your entire address book), all for the sake of promoting stupid, closed-off G+. And Google Reader, which I used on a daily basis until its death, probably fell victim to the G+ effort.

I use Newsblur as a replacement (thanks conesus!) but Google could have used their influence to promote RSS and make the web much more consumer-friendly, now without that everyone crawled off into their own walled garden like Facebook, etc. A number of people I read ended up only on Facebook unfortunately. RSS, while still around, never really took off to its full potential, and the G+ fiasco contributed to that.

Well you're kind of exactly demonstrating my argument. Criticism of someone's idea or theory is not harassment of that person. It's by definition not ad-hominem
Not necessarily anything until it gets to an extreme, but it's not self-compassion and that's the point of the article (or a chunk of it, most of the article is about what self-compassion actually is but doesn't spend too much time contrasting it with other things). Many people conflate the two concepts and self-indulgence (being generally egocentric) is often considered "bad". If the two ideas get mixed together then this leads to a rejection of self-compassion as well.
I share your sentiment. I couldn't agree more with the funny and sad cipher text. Zhihu could have been a good site for idea exchange but it too became obvious a target. I was very envious of online forum culture in Taiwan such as PTT and you never know there may be many chinese netizens from the mainland posing and hiding in disguise.

I think what you are saying about censorship is true but it's also because we are facing unprecedented challenges both online and in real life. The traditional academic settings of intellectuals on various sites are not the same anymore. I won't say what is better or not but I hope more communications will eventually bridge gaps. If you're skeptical about the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland, look at Republic Ireland / Northern Ireland. It could be much worse until eventually an ambiguous agreement arrived. Sometimes people just need a bit cool down to communicate.
not exactly welcoming to neurodivergent individuals and those who don't perfectly conform to the approved orthodoxy. that letter is gross, slanderous and cult-like ("dangerous force", "These sorts of beliefs"). it's straight out of Scientology's Suppressive Person playbook. it does not speak for the open source community. it speaks for a small set of authoritarians who wield weaponized empathy and threat of banishment as a means to control people.

> 1. Write code that takes in a rectangle, coordinate, and distance, and tells if that coordinate is within the distance of the rectangle.

Distance from the center of the rectangle? Easy. From the closest corner? Easy. From the closest point on the rectangle? I'm not clear how to do this.

And will the sides of the rectangle be parallel to the x and y axes?
Exactly. It was basically a share-ier Twitter long before Twitter, built on an open standard (RSS.) You could subscribe to every news website's RSS feed and at the time, most would offer their full content in your feed. You had incredible power to curate and refine your feed based on your interests and social circle.
A better option might be to split out Tina into its own module of JS and load it on-demand with maybe a lightweight progress bar or loading indicator when triggered/required? Such as when hitting a keystroke or when a cookie or other local editor state is present?
That's all well and good if you work in the subset of industries that can exist in such cities. Is there a meat packing plant within 20 minutes? Is there a farm? Is there a harbor? Is there an airport? Is there a powerplant? Is there a military base? Not everyone is lucky enough to work in office-based industries. Some jobs need huge structures that cannot be integrated within a 20-minute walking distance. Such jobs are equally important. Any city planning must address everyone, not just office workers.

I work on a military base. We make lots of noise. I like making that noise. I like getting paid to make noise. I don't want live beside it 24/7.
> app-DB roundtrips could soon dominate the whole thing

and they do. We have a GraphQL API backed by multiple microservices at a place I work. You become increasingly paranoid at every call you need to make.

It's also where ORMs completely fall over. ORMs are designed for, generally, one record to one query mapping. Which is why they are always leaky abstractions which need heroic acts of clever hacking to overcome. You know, rather than doing the sensible thing and just writing a single query that fetches data from multiple tables.

SQLite sort of encourages many queries, though, due to their design. I recall their docs even mention this point. But I've seen a few people in various threads that get bitten by this when they switch to a client/server DB.

I think it's perfectly fine to design your app around the characteristics of your database. Otherwise, you're missing out on optimizations and features you could be using and what would even be the point in favoring one DB over another if it's all the same to your app? You should pick the DB that matches the characteristics of your app anyway.
Buckminster Fuller used to tell the story of arriving in a city to give a talk only to be informed that he was required to hire two union stagehands.

"But I just talk. I don't need stagehands."

"Either you hire them, or your event gets canceled."

Fuller went back to his hotel, called up a piano rental company, and had two grand pianos delivered to the venue.

Then, while giving his multi-hour-long lecture, he would pause every five minutes or so and say "Now, I need that piano moved over there, and that piano moved over there."
That is tricky to implement. What consumption counts for tax purposes? Should luxury items be taxed higher?

For example, poor people have no choice but to eat, and their food costs won't be that much lower than a rich person's food costs (assuming artificially that everyone cooked at home).

Therefore, because rich and poor people will eat about the same amount of food, and the cost will be "about" the same, then the amount of tax paid will be about the same. But as a percentage of the person's income, the poor person will have a drastically higher burden of taxation.

And even if consumption tax proponents were willing to allow for luxury item tax rates, rich people would always have a way around it. For example, would renting an item be taxed the same as buying it? Or what if instead I receive access to my Ferrari as a perk of working for my hedge fund? The poor guy who buys the $2,000 used junker will have to pay consumption tax, but I won't.

For every rule there are probably multiple loopholes. And even if a fair system could be devised, it would never see the light of day because you could never get enough people to agree on what that system would be.

All of this is just pointless thought experimentation anyway; the current corporate-political structure likes the current system much better than they would like any radically different system. Therefore, nothing significant is going to change.

Shameless plug, I can suggest StaticDeploy (https://staticdeploy.io/) as an open source, self-hosted alternative to Netlify, which can give you a similar deployment workflow.

It's definitely possible to just host directly on S3/CloudFront, but StaticDeploy sets you up quickly with a workflow and a dedicated management interface.

It was more of a dig at some of the previous attempts at mooting such taxes, the "Fair Tax" was one of them.

I agree it's an alternate way to approach fairness, I just find it a bizarre one. If taxes are to stay at roughly the same gross take as they do now in, for instance, the UK, VAT would have to rise from 20% to approximately 100%, which would be utterly ruinous for the poorest, but barely noticed by others.

Yeah, we've managed to get Julia itself running pretty well on the M1, there are still a few outstanding issues such as backtraces not being as high-quality as on other platforms. You can see the overall tracking issue [0] for a more granular status on the platform support.

For the package ecosystem as a whole, we will be slowly increasing the number of third-party packages that are built for aarch64-darwin, but this is a major undertaking, so I don't expect it to be truly "finished" for 3-6 months. This is due to both technical issues (packages may not build cleanly on aarch64-darwin and may need some patching/updating especially since some of our compilers like gfortran are prerelease testing builds, building for aarch64-darwin means that the packages must be marked as compatible with Julia 1.6+ only--due to a limitation in Julia 1.5-, etc...) as well as practical (Our packaging team is primarily volunteers and they only have so much bandwidth to help fix compilation issues).

Absolutely. It just sucks, as my build are so much faster on the remote machine. :)

That is, a lot of my remote editing is not just idle edits, but edit, run build, burn down compile output of tests and other items I'm working.

If I really want hell, I'll try and run lsp remotely.

None of this would matter, if I hadn't built up so much muscle memory from when I did have good internet and it did just transparently work.

Walkability does not equal a safe or desirable apartment. Westlake in Los Angeles has a "walk score" of 91, very high meaning you can get all your needs met without a car. Doesn't make it a paradise, this area is high in crime and homelessness, and no one with a family moves there unless they don't have other options, which is why it is primarily populated by recent immigrants from Central America who have few other options.

These services seem important, but people sacrifice them all the time, because they prefer space, safety, and school districts, to the novelty of walking to a convenient store. The most expensive houses in LA are up in the hills, where it takes you 10 minutes just to drive down windy roads with zero sidewalks before you even hit a shop of some sort at the bottom. Being able to walk to your errands is just not prioritized in American real estate over the three S's. People willingly take an hour commute for these things.
that's a good point. In many debates, I have to reply to people saying "whataboutism actually makes sense in this context".

I think that definition of conservatism is very generous to conservatives since we often see people who identify themselves as conservatives attempting to change society rather than merely freeze it as it is. However I recognize that figures like G. K. Chesterton have expressed ideas[0] that meet you definition of conservatism:

"So, gradually and inevitably, to-day, to-morrow, or the next day, there comes back the conviction that the monk was right after all, and that all depends on what is the philosophy of Light. Only what we might have discussed under the gas-lamp, we now must discuss in the dark." [0]

>In either case, whether you are in favor of an existing system or opposed to it, you need to dig deep and reflect on why things are done the way they are because you may be throwing out a kernel of brilliant insight and not know it or you may be correct about thinking that you’re dealing with an onion in the varnish.

Strong agree. It is unfortunate that so much is cast as being for or against an existing system. We should all want to improve the world. History has shown that resisting all change just results in turning a living system into a decaying one. On the other hand attempting to replace a living system with wholly new living system almost always results in second system syndrome [1]. We should reject both of these approaches and ask what sort of society do we wish to have and how might we get from here to there.

From where I sit the conservative answer to that is that they want a society which enforces strict hierarchies such that each person's role and place is society is pre-determined for them along traditional lines: the peasants work on farms or factories, families ruled by patriarchs, an elite ruling class, everyone obeys the church in their sexual life etc... The traditionalism that the conservatives seek is not the present state of our society, but rather their imagined fantasy of the past. Whereas the society I would like is one is which each individual is given the support to be the best person they can be __as defined by that individual__ (of course within the limits of the resources of the society and such that they aren't harming others). I see the current political divide in the US as a battle between those who wish to move the world closer toward traditionalist morality (conservatives) and those who wish to move the world toward an individualist morality (progressives).

Stop moving the goal-posts.

You said that the administration should have funded vaccine development. They offered funding and were declined. They also funded J&J and Moderna, and provided purchase guarantees for Pfizer when they weren't allowed to fund it. In other words, the plethora of vaccines that we have is in part thanks to the actions of the administration.

What, specifically, are you suggesting they should have done that they didn't with regard to funding?

Edit: there are innumerable things we can point to that the Trump administration did wrong during the pandemic that made things worse. We don't need to invent new ones that are easily disproved.
I’m excited thinking about 2040 when Google pulls a Microsoft and starts working to be cool. One of the fun nostalgic ways they show that they’re no longer assholes will be reviving and open sourcing Reader. Kind of like how Microsoft open sourced calc.exe.

There’s no business value or harm but it’s a good symbol. Old Microsoft would have complained how they had to prioritize engineering resources and open sourcing calc.exe was bad (like Google needed to prioritize engineers away from Reader).
We did it for production code installed at client sites, and it has been very easy for us. YMMV

Love Nietsche. This is also good, on the subject of government:

To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.

They were told the reason was that Bell Labs is moving to a start up model (whatever that is) and that means closing some sites other than NJ. Then the head of Bell Labs was fired along with the CEO of Nokia.

Basically Alcatel-Lucent was broke and was bought out by Nokia with Microsoft money. Nokia is now also broke and they're pawning the good silver.
