I agree that gratuitous syntax differences are tiring, but in this case, there's actually a very good reason why it's not just using JS. When it comes to reactive systems, you need to be able to statically analyze control flow structures in order to compile to efficient code. In JS, a for loop is a loop, but so is array.map, Object.keys and someLib.each. The loop could be hidden three layers deep in a higher-order function composition from some third party library, it could be tail call recursion, etc. Dealing with this sort of complexity when writing optimizing compilers is very very hard, compared to coming up with dedicated loop syntax, because at any point it's possible there's a value of polymorphic type, a Proxy, a getter/setter side effect or some other crazy JS shenanigan going on.

This is why, for example, Solid.js does control flow through <For /> and <Show /> components instead of map/ternaries even though it uses JSX.
I'm absolutely fine with that being your opinion, but will say I'm a huge fan of Glass (and Bach), and can enjoy it as foreground music, even the most meditative works like Music in 12 Parts and the piano pieces. But I've been moved by some works. The Mishima soundtrack and Itaipu come to mind. Also the Reggio soundtracks, although it's hard to separate those in my mind from the movies, which are also great.
You guys could read "Tools for Conviviality"[1] by Ivan Illich (1973). He talks about how tools could be more limited and useful to the person rather than make a person slave of the tool (he repeats this idea a lot). It expands on a previous idea of Deschooling Society.

Those ideas inspired the making of the first personal computer btw[2].

Neighbourhoods change whether we like it or not. Pinyata stores being bulldozed and a person with the right connections takes over the place is just what happens. Does the car club have a valid reason to meet there? If it is just because they've always met there, that doesn't seem valid. There are certainly many places they could meet at (they could even buy a piece of land and do anything they want legally without having anyone complain legally about it). If they got money for big fancy wheels, tires to destroy, audio systems, etc. then they could pool some money together.

I mean, I want their car club to survive and I want them to enjoy their hobby no doubt. I would hate it if someone told me I couldn't enjoy my hobbies. However, some hobbies require a place to do them and in this case it has come to the point they need a place that will allow them to do things they want to do. Then again, they go somewhere else and do it where people don't care. Just my two cents.
zipping the raw avi would probably get most of the way to 95%
Did you watch Silicon Valley? What do you think about sitting on the roof with a Slurpee (or a Big Gulp)? Would you rather be building stuff?
I'm willing to bet it's not about CPU time constraints. My guess is that it's bitrate settings and/or keyframe interval settings. And that you could get similar results by tweaking those, even if you're encoding at veryfast.
> I know Russian isn't a Romance language, but it is Indo-European in origin, and I was wondering if maybe there was some parallel process that ended differently there.

The phenomenon this article talks about seems specific to Latin:

> To trace the decline of the neuter, we can begin with a theoretical principle: the process must have begun early, at a time when Latin was still a unified language. If we do not accept this as a first premise, it becomes very difficult to explain why the neuter is absent from the whole Romance family – why its decline was so uniform. This is not to say that the neuter had died completely when Romance languages first emerged, only that the seeds had already been sown and the die already cast.

Though I suppose your observation that Russian (and I think other Indo-European languages) still have the neuter gender kinda confirms that.
I have the same reaction to this as one year ago when people said "only X people have died, so what's the big deal?".

In both cases, the important thing is the exponential growth (shrinkage?) in the other direction. Not the absolute numbers right now.
It’s really almost dystopian at this point. For example Iowa never went into full shut down mode and held public school in person and had HS sports for most of school year. It’s neighbor Illinois went into full lockdown mode.... the media coverage was constant and consistent on how terrible things were in Iowa. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...)

Fast forward to actual data Iowa has less infections and less fatalities per 1000 people than Illinois (almost the same Illinois slightly higher). No headlines anywhere mentioning Iowa’s approach may have been practical after all.

Another example look at data for young people 0-20 with the virus. Covid poses very little risk at all which is a great thing and we should be glad ... again no coverage.
Those three billion people don't live in too close proximity. One fire's worth may not be too bad, but you can imagine 1000 people doing it will start to add up real quick.
Those are fair points. The original report was much more serious before Apple changed policies to make the reports encrypted in transit and stopped logging IPs.
Of course it's not, there's always a better way:

That doesn't answer the question, because the point of the two halves is that they are independently recording the contract.

If we use a split stick to record how much money you owe me, and I simply add more marks to mine, to pretend you owe me more, it's obvious that I'm cheating. But if I simply split a brand-new stick and add marks on it, then our sticks won't match up at all. How will a court know which is the original?

Presumably they had some way to sign them? After all, that's why both parties sign both contracts today. If you go change yours, I still have your signature on mine.
The Roosevelt-created grain reserve was a way to support the price of grain, not as a national security measure.

National food reserves are usually used like this (as a price buffer rather than a something to support security).

Fancy Impute: Missing Data Imputation for Python Workflows
To your first 4 paragraphs, you jump around alot to many different points. But I think I can best concisely illustrate that you and I are not working with the same basic semantics. For instance, I have definitely grown plants with simulated water in a Zelda game.

I think when you here computation, you should learn more about quantum mechanics and how systems are describe in terms of discrete pieces of information. As it is, we can implant electrodes in human brains and send artificial signals to them already and people begin to "see" things that are not there.

How does saying thinking is just a form of computation taking it away from brains? Why does thinking have to be something different from just running probability calculations given the current input and the likely next step including for a given output we can take upon given "input"? It seems that for you that the possibility is entirely out of the realm of possibility. It's not that thinking can't be explained by computation, it's that is must NOT be explained by computation.

I want to know that the source code on my phone has been peer reviewed. However, this does not always mean backdoors are caught. For example, the NSA injected a potential back door into openSSL. It was caught, but only a small number of people are smart enough to catch something like this. STILL: it was open source. I like that. I would buy a linux phone even if it sucked a little, knowing that I could view the source code.
What is the idea of restorative justice here? There’s no victim for these crimes-at-the-time to be “restored”.

Yes, but then things evolved into more sophisticated and less cumbersome methods of ensuring authenticity.
This has been going on for a long time now and is to be expected. My real problem is that they completely remove existing functionality from UI without giving the users who relied on it any alternative.
I found animations a bit of a struggle, especially when combining multiple of them. There were performance bugs with some of the combined animations, and the Svelte documentation didn’t make it clear how animations could affect things like the focus on a text box.
This is it. I actually took a small pay cut this year to work for a company that is guaranteed remote friendly.

The peace of mind knowing that these guys already had remote engineers before the pandemic and a good workflow, and having a job that is officially and permanently remote is absolutely worth a few thousand bucks to me.

I was dreading going back to the office, even if only a day or two a week.

Counting the commute I would have otherwise been going back to with my previous company that was super excited to get asses back in seats, I'm probably actually getting paid more per hour of my time dedicated to work activities.
I didn't see ffmpeg command to compare. I was talking in general. Usually, it is just a value you modify. A typical GOP is 1 second. That allows decent seeking within the file. On something static, you could push it to 10 seconds. If you use ffmpeg, you can fiddle with the switches until the cows come home. For homework, you can use the same methods and use MediaInfo or ffprobe to see the GOP sizes. My money would be on 1 second GOPs from both.
I have read that coffee is quite prone to pesticide contamination, so these days I only purchase organic coffee beans. Out of curiosity, have you tried organic and if so have you noticed a difference between it and conventional?

Yes. No commonly-used compression formats lack streaming capabilities.
>The energy of other people being present keeps me very focused

This is the opposite of my personal experience. The energy of other people distracts and interrupts. Collaboration that interrupts focused solo work has rarely if ever been a net gain.
I've seen this on Reddit a fair bit too but there's this sort of anti "10x-er" attitude. It makes logical sense to me that if someone spends more time practising a skill, then they would be more proficient and thus worth paying more. Yet there's a lot of pushback against that thought process because it is biased or something. Obviously there's more to a candidate than purely 'coding' skill but I find it weird that a company would want to explicitly avoid an indicator of time spent honing skill X purely because it discredits other people. I guess in an idealistic world it makes sense but the real world never quite lives up to the ideals.
The risk of spreading itself its not small. The risk of one actually die from covid is really small.

I would be fine in the office in closed space with other people if it make sense for my work, regardless of covid.
This mystifies me. Why would you not use a cross-compiler running in your favorite desktop development environment, and run gdb in place, there, with gdbserver to control the runtime on the phone?

sshfs gets executables automatically exported to the phone as they are linked.

Doing native builds on the phone seems like deliberately choosing to do it the hard way. [But somebody says GTK will not cross-build. Could that be possible?]
If I can ask, who do I flag down? Despite using the ITP bug and proper Debian process, I haven't gotten an acknowledgement from anyone that seems to control the packaging.
I've seen 16GB versions of 3080s in laptops. They only run 150W-165W, so they are slower than desktops. But if RAM is your point, they can be found.
Words do have different meanings depending on context and a host of facts, and you are entitled to have some interpretation of the word passion but in its most literal and original sense, passion means to act in suffering. That is, you act out of such a desire towards something that you suffer and sacrifice yourself in the process, ie. The Passion of Jesus.

It also has a romantic sense to it, for example you are passionately in love if you suffer for that love and would sacrifice yourself for it. You are passionate about something if you're willing to die for it. That is, your feelings about something are so intense that you are willing to endure suffering and pain for it. A programmer is passionate if they devote themselves to it to the point that they end up sacrificing other parts of their life in the process.

I am passionate about programming in that sense, for better or worse, and have knowingly sacrificed a great deal in pursuit of this skill and have lost out in many other areas of my life because of it. I am not ashamed to admit it anymore than a Medical Doctor is ashamed to admit that they must also sacrifice a great deal of their life to pursue their career path, doctors are also passionate about their career.

It would be hard to claim that you are passionate about something without admitting to sacrificing or risking something in pursuit of that passion or feeling pain about it such as burning out or struggling to the point of feeling exhausted, even depressed in some cases. It does not mean doing something out of fun or joy or leisure, it means doing something in spite of the pain often because you believe in it so strongly that you put aside feelings of joy.

That said, there are certainly very competent developers who are incredibly productive and aren't passionate about it, and as you said it may even be the case that people who do programming for fun end up being productive because it's fun for them and that helps keep them motivated. That's amazing and I admire such people... but that's not being passionate in its most common usage, passion kind of has a fairly common meaning and the author is using it appropriately.

Ah shit, that sounds like a fuckin rotten experience. Sorry you had to go through it.

i always wonder, when I have fantastically social failures like that: how could i tune the knobs to make this go better with this specific type of person, who sees me in this way... like if I did this 10 more times with 10 more hot-heads, I wonder what I'd learn about what he responds better to. I'm sure there are parts of who I am that I can't talk around, but still. And not that I have the nerve to keep putting myself in that situation...!

Anyhow, makes me curious from a distance, but to be clear, I'm not judging that there's anything else you could've done :)
> "Non-essential" was extremely poorly defined.

It was poorly defined, in the sense that nearly every single economic activity was "Essential" under the definitions set out by governments across the world.

If you provided any kind of service or product that was consumed by an essential business, you were also essential. My wife works in a small company that sets up tech conferences. They are... Essential (Despite not having any work for the past year. If nobody wants to pay you to do any work, I don't think you are essential, but I'm not the guy in charge...)
That is the obvious answer, but I have no idea if it's true in practice.

The original h264 file was likely optimized for write speed and not storage (which takes cpu time and can introduce lag in real time recording).

Reencoding the same input file as h264 again but using FFmpeg defaults would probably yield similar file size reductions.

This is just a bogus post without knowing what parameters were used to encode the original h264.
I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs and I can count on one hand the number of times my GitHub was looked at.
> Tangentially, why do Americans call their middle 48 states the "lower 48"?

Because for a while it was accurate, and the usage stuck even after it changed (Alaska was admitted before Hawai’i.)

A similar reason a large swath of the north-central part of the continental US is called the Midwest. (In Census uses, where the smaller divisions have more modern/accurate names, this is ironic because the Midwest region consists of the West North Central and East North Central divisions.)

How to Dislodge a 200k-Ton Ship from a Canal Wall
From what I can tell (this is not my field), at least as concerns the English state, the tally stick was divided into the "stock," which was kept by the state, and the "foil," which went with the individual.

This video shows a number of examples of stocks (apparently few foils survive) and how they recorded debts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rxAYSXJ41Y .

It explains that they were used to record money that was deposited, essentially a receipt, by removing wood from the then original stick before it was split into the stock/foil. My guess (again not my area) is that it primarily functioned this way:

1. The removed wood representing the debt. I have no confirmation, but I would expect the stock/foil was created in view of the depositor who understood its markings.

2. The entity seeking repayment would not be able to fake their receipt, presumably to indicate they had deposited more money than they had (i.e., by removing wood from their foil). If they tried, the stock would still have that wood present, but the other grooves and grain of the stock/foil would align. The state would easily be able to tell that someone had subtracted wood from their foil.

3. The state could, of course, destroy the stock and claim its nonexistence, but information of that would, presumably, escape and others would be less likely to lend to the state. It appears there is writing on the stock/foil, so perhaps that served a secondary verification function (e.g., handwriting comparison or reference to a paper ledger)?

[EDIT: The process of making English tallies was laid out in the "The Dialogue Concerning the Exchequer. circa 1180" (https://avalon.law.yale.edu/medieval/excheq.asp. It describes making these tally sticks in the section "As to the Maker of Tallies." Unfortunately, I do not see the details of dispute resolution in that document. But, I only skimmed it.]
More likey to be people who want to minimize the amount of time they're walking alone to prevent victimization.

A personal data point: My wife and I used to live about 20 blocks from the gym we used. She would drive because of the vagrants and street people who would follow and harass women. Cycling wasn't an option because anyone who left their bike unattended would have it stolen.
Same. :(
It's such shame that browsers don't support h265 (maybe that edge do though?)
As any rational user I have to use the UWP Netflix app to get the best bitrate because of this artificial limitation..

I have paid h265 on the windows store for 1 symbolic dollar and I'm sure you can find a license for cheaper, people should respect the media they consume not using h265 for regular video consumers is nonsensical. And no vp9 is inferior and av1 too in addition to the absence of hardware acceleration for av1.
H266 has been released last summer, I can't wait for it to become widespread and push the boundaries of the user experience.
Farsi has hints of this. I don't think any linguist would argue that Farsi is a gendered language (it does not even have gendered pronouns), but there are two instances where one could argue remnants of an animate/inanimate gender system remains:

1. Farsi has two suffixes that make a noun plural (I am going to write things semi-phonetically): huh and un. Huh can be used for absolutely everything. Un can only be used for living things, e.g.: derakht-un (trees), daneshamouz-un (students), baradar-un (brothers, and its similarity to brethren has caught my eye).

2. You can use third person singular verb conjugation for third person plural subjects, but only if the subject is non-living.

There's an emotion I find directly adjacent to flâneur imagery:

Contentedness of being in a restaurant during (typically) business hours (say, eating at 10am or 2pm), enjoying being alone in a public space while society is busy elsewhere, etc. Not so much a feeling of idleness, but rather being out of sync with society mixed with the joys of playing hooky.

I suppose "flâneurishness" is the closest I can get to a satisfying descriptor, unless there's some brilliant bit of English that has captured the idea already.
They’re already doing that in the infrastructure package.
