I would highly recommend using mini habits to help get started.

Stephen Guise wrote a book Mini Habits that is quite short but to the point on how to implement these.

Using the Pomodoro technique is another great strategy for those days where you really do not feel like doing any work.
You're going to have a hard time proving any modicum of emotional distress because Tesla raised the price of your luxury solar panel roof and charger for your Tesla from $77k to $90k.

And of course the opposite side did not use their without question great achievements for propaganda. Just pure love of mankind.

Can they just for once enjoy the ride and celebrate without adding bit of venom?

They annexed southern Lebanon during a civil war to create a buffer zone against terrorist groups staging attacks against Israel from Lebanon.

It's tough for me to cast them as the bad guys in that situation. That was a reasonable strategy given the circumstances.
So the last sentence I made is false. The rest is correct, right?
Not really, back at the dawn of semiconductors, union's space programme was spoon fed best components from all over the world.

Original Vostok had higher engineering standards than crafts that were launched more than a decade later, after the hype subsided below the level needed to keep the space programme a top level state project.

While I agree with your definitions of what a computation device is, I also don't see Android being developed on Android in the near future. So many UX conceptual problems won't allow this, so I think that as long as computers are required to build smartphones, they cannot be described as "general purpose" machines.
Huh? That's only true if you don't use any libraries, right?

What if you want to use something like delegator[0] to make running shell commands less toilsome?

Not as I read it? A breach results in either damages or cancellation-and-restitution. Which is money either way.

There is a little-used 'specific performance' case but that's for objects of art or whatnot, especially when no monetary value can be assigned. And in the overwhelming number of situations, should not be relied upon for remedy.

Its cash (almost) all the way.
I thought this was an interesting take [1]:

I’m a blogging dinosaur, which makes me a little sad about the rise of Substack. Back in the day, the virtue of blogging was that everyone could talk to everyone. Later, when many bloggers (including me) went to work for magazines, our work was still freely available. We could link back and forth and our readers always had the option of clicking those links if they wanted more details or just wanted to check and make sure we were quoting each other fairly.

I’m not really willing to rack up a whole bunch of $60-per-year subscription fees for individual writers, which means I’ll never know what they’re saying. And even if I did, you’d never know what they’re saying unless you’re coincidentally a subscriber too. This means we have a growing circle of writers who are influencing the political conversation but doing it semi-privately. The rest of us will only get hints here and there, the way you might have heard snatches of gossip from acquaintances who had been invited to an 18th century salon.

Sorry, I know my question depends on a lot of variables.

I’m just looking for a “sanity check” example, but I only have a vague notion of pointer being a reference to a spot in memory, as well as knowing that doing transactions on the ETH network incurs fees.

Are there any “power user” examples? Like, how much would it cost to run `ls` on a folder of 200 files, or encoding a video with `ffmpeg` (or insert proper example here since I don’t know where `unique_ptr` is used lol)
I had the opposite reaction, that it was said with full self-awareness of the conflicting nature of those thoughts.

The entire article IS myopic, but that's the point. Its a self-exploration of the feelings and emotions experienced by someone in their 20s who just received a lot of money unexpectedly for reasons largely outside their control. In a lot of ways it reads like conversations I've had with my therapist about other (non-money related) topics.

She does a good job explaining her anxieties around finances and the power dynamics in relationships caused by money as well as explaining the personal experiences in her childhood (her friend's parents' and her parents' divorce, the financial collapse of 2008) and the shared experiences of her generation (the first to have less money than their parents) that created those anxieties. She literally says what your last sentence implies.

Yes shes humble-bragging and talking about feeling shes low-maintenance and frugal. She also talks about feelings of bitterness and imposter syndrome and concerns about the future and feeling like she needs to give it all back because she doesn't deserve it.

Shes being honest and open because most people aren't. I mean its titled "Confessions of". I think shes aware. The most important lines in the article are these:

> there are people who feel like they don’t know what they’re doing with the money, and what the money means, and they’re encompassed by anxiety. They don’t realize that nobody else knows what they’re doing either.
> So disentangling where exactly he came up with what seems almost impossible (and something that many Tolkien scholars, including Christopher Tolkien, have spent quite some time studying!)

Yes. To be honest I read several of CT's books on the history of Tolkien's writing but intentionally stopped when he reached TLOTR because I didn't want to see one of my favourite books deconstructed, e.g. the 'too many hobbits' versions, before the hobbit Strider became the ranger Aragorn, for example. I suspect reading those volumes may make the interrelationships clearer but I probably won't do that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_George_Floyd#Autops... references two autopsies, one of which 'found that Floyd's heart stopped while he was being restrained and that his death was a homicide caused by "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression"', the other 'found that Floyd's death was a homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression.'.

That's the one I was thinking about yeah.
According to the Urban dictionary, "cruft" (actually "crufty") is defined as:

Generic derogatory term for something that is hacked together, badly designed, shabby or otherwise substandard. Often used in the description of software user interfaces.

To my ears, cruft, although legitimately computer-sciency is definitely derogatory and if I was in the Perl Core team I'd feel very incensed by its deliberate use to define anything having to do with the work I'm trying to do.

I'm sorry these things come down to personal harassment and generally aggressive behavior. I'm not trying to justify the unjustifiable, but sometimes people, specially the team leader here, needs to be a little more considerate with word choice when talking about people's work. English is not my first language and many times I've realized while speaking that a certain word, just because it's used a lot, is not adequate in certain situations as it can be demeaning of others, sarcastic and disdainful in itself.
OR... they are being respectful of author's experience, decision , life and feelings, and will discuss public things publicly and private things privately.

No matter in which venue my team members bring up their personal issues and difficulties, I will discuss project/work things publicly, and reach out to them on a personal level to support and inquire privately. Even when they choose to make some of their experience public, it is not necessarily my right, nor the appropriate / productive thing to do, to make it a free-for-all public debate.

I think it's the correct, professional, honorable, decent, respectful approach. What should they have done instead - started a flame work on whether the authors experience was real, decision was justified, start going into nitty gritties of each specific infarction... you know, exactly the stuff we're seeing develop in this thread - all of it indubitably further contributing to the author's stress? :-/
Upvoted for the link to "Unbricking a $2,000 Bike With a $10 Raspberry Pi". All this may motivate me to resume my Concept2 rower workouts. The reference there to "Bluetility" gives me a curiousity-quenching look at all the devices in my home, and possibly my vehicles.

Aw, come on, dude. Why you gotta be all in his face for this?

You write that "it would be a very dysfunctional world if everything were entirely subjective." The author's claim states that bullying is not a subjective thing defined by the perceptions of the bully.

See? If you just put in half an ounce of effort to minimize conflict, you're agreeing with each other! Try it sometime!

"Business" is a broad topic, and trying to understand all of the different facets of it, in depth, in a short order of time, is probably not possible. But you can certainly get an overview of the different aspects and start getting a feel for what areas appeal to you, and get the foundation you need to grow from.

There are a lot of different ways you can accomplish this, ranging from reading books, taking classes, watching videos, talking to people in person, attending meetings, listening to podcasts... even watching television programs.

I'm in a meeting right now so can't focus a lot of attention on this right this second, but I'll drop a couple of thoughts based on my own experience. Later I'll try to come back and edit this, or reply to it, with some more thoughts.

Books:

1. The Art of the Start by Guy Kawaski

2. The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank

3. Crossing The Chasm - Geoffrey Moore

4. Purple Cow - Seth Godin

Consider also biographies of business figures you may be familiar with, and historical accounts of important events in the business world.

Podcasts:

1. The Stanford "ecorner" Podcast series. https://ecorner.stanford.edu/podcasts/

Classes:

1. You might consider something like BUS-101 "Introduction to Business" or whatever at a local community college if that's an option. If you were to go that route, I'd also recommend taking a "Intro to Marketing" and "Intro to Business Law" courses as well. Those three topics give you a lot of foundational knowledge.

2. I have not done this yet myself, but taking an Accounting class (or two) has often been recommended to me, and I do believe it's a good idea. Accounting is the "language of business" in many ways, and understanding cash flow, profit and loss, etc., are pretty important concepts for any business-person.

TV shows:

1. There are a lot of TV shows that are both entertaining and also contain useful exposure to various aspects of business and can be somewhat didactic. Of course the challenge may be picking out the real parts from the bits that are dramatized / fictionalized to an excessive degree. That said, consider some shows like Halt and Catch Fire, Billions, Power, Dallas, etc.

Events:

1. (Once they start occurring again) Consider attending networking events that may occur near you, that are "business oriented". That can cover a lot of ground, but you can meet a lot of people, start building a network of connections, possibly find mentor(s), etc. I'd mostly avoid sales / lead swap specific groups for now, as well as most "startup oriented" events, and look for something more general. Events put on by groups like the local "Chamber of Commerce" etc. are usually good.
What are the benefits over the classic way?
I write apps for Android and design devices that run on Android for a living. A friend once asked why I have an iPhone, and my response was pretty simple:

"I'll switch to Android when I can rotate my screen animate the rotation instead of blanking out"

They got it immediately.

-

For those not familiar with Android, your app's UI is completely destroyed on every single configuration change. Rotation. Plugging in a keyboard. Dark mode.

Then the app has to redraw it's entire state from memory in the new orientation.

To do that tiny little thing I described above you'd have to design your app to disable all built in configuration handling (so now it's on you to handle swapping out every resource when a language change happens, or dark mode is turned on) then hand animate every element to its new position on every screen. Needless to say, that's not done.

It was probably very convenient when they were designing the G1 with it's 192MB of RAM, but to me it's a thing that encapsulates everything wrong with Android as a platform for me to use daily.

I wonder what percentage of daily Android crashes in the world are a direct result of this tiny decision. Or god forbid, the amount of gnashing of teeth in how to write Android apps in a "clean" way that manages with this...

(And yes, iOS has state restoration too, but it's strictly for returning from the background, so it's not nearly as intrusive)

I have been using Cloudflare pages for some time, only for small sites[0]. Today I also moved my main blog[1] to it. Both pages are small, so this is not a serious review.

I moved from Netlify. The main reasons are DNS and analytics. I already manage all my DNS with Cloudflare, and having everything in the same place is very convenient. Regarding analytics, Cloudflare provides some very basic analytics, which I think are convenient, in Netlify you need to include your own analytics script or use the paid version. I also noticed pages loaded noticeably faster in Cloudflare Pages.

On the other hand, Netlify is specialized in the kind of sites you would host with Cloudflare Pages, so the overall product is more polished towards that. Also, the site build (at least using Hugo) is a lot faster in Netlify. Instant rollbacks in Netlify are wonderful.

Overall, I really like both products a lot and I would not recommend one over the other. It's also important to consider the limits[2-5] of each one. In the free versions, Cloudflare limits by number of builds, Netlify limits the total build minutes. Netlify has a bandwidth limit, Cloudflare does not mention any bandwidth limit.

I think Siri is intended to be more goal oriented. I use it extensively, with very little complaint, daily-

-set alarm
-next song
-set timer
-set reminder (e.g. "Siri set reminder 6pm close garage door")
-send message to <person>

These comprise 99% of what I would want it to do, and it does it marvelously.
Why the sock puppet if it's not "real" harassment?
Standards can be fluid, though. We don't have to live in a world where "one size fits all", and those who aren't wired for compatibility with the current society have to suffer.

Everything is subjective, at some level, no matter how much (or how successfully) we attempt to impart objectivity. It's seen through the lens of human psyche. Everything we witness is filtered by our entire life experience.

Let's presume the author is not being deceitful. They voiced an opinion about cruft in the language, and received hateful messages that pushed them to entirely leave the community. How is that not bullying? Of course a bully is going to defend their behavior, because it deflects the focus away from them and onto the person accusing them of bullying.

Bullying is a serious problem that pervades all of life. From childhood through to adulthood, bullies revel in making people miserable, either because they don't want to care about others (in which case they are a sociopath), or because they haven't been taught to care about others (in which case it could be argued that their parents were sociopaths).

The thing is, none of the arguing changes the lived experience of the bullied. The only thing that will change that is people actively making the decision to treat others better.
Did you add quotes to harassment because you are involved that conversation?

It would be proper ettiquette for you to state such, especially since you created an account only to comment on this topic
So, there's another possibility, the road we didn't go down: use a sound field representation based on spherical harmonics. You'd get something roughly the quality of Atmos with just 4 channels. It's a shame cinema didn't go this route, as trivial circuits can fold it down to quad or stereo, but more elaborate setups can render it specific to any arbitrary speaker geometry that's desired.
> I'm not sure how easily observable facts fall into the category of "sheer arrogance", also not entirely sure why you're personally attacking me. It's uncalled for and adds nothing to the discussion. Global warming is an easily observable fact, it's happening, it will ruin the world for everyone.

It is not an "easily observable fact" that climate change is going to "ruin the world for everyone".

I'm sorry if my comment came off as a personal attack. People, including me, are often completely wrong while convinced that we are completely right. Sheer arrogance seems like a fair way to describe that.
Scaling Distributed Machine Learning with In-Network Aggregation [pdf]
In the leftist mind, nobody deserves any money. Even if she had suffered or worked as hard as you describe, she would still be a product of her privilege, being born at the right time in the right place and so on.

I can imagine this feeling of not deserving the money, but that doesn't mean you should be hellbent on giving it away.
Most people don't need to learn C either; or any programming language, for that matter.
But Microsoft won't see as much scrutiny as any other tech giant because they are so deeply ingrained in the government's world.
This is what happens when you get into business with that company. Just look up their sales for their self driving tech. Not much better.
They go into this in the article. Substack is actively trying to poach people for their platform. NYT, already being bereft of journalistic integrity, doesn't like this because it ruins their image even more.

My pet hypothesis is that, if your social life is primarily mediated through a computer, you're effectively performing a version of the Harlow's rhesus monkey experiments on yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow

My much more charitable hypothesis is that it's just easier to take your frustrations with life in general out on the Internet, because it's so easy - especially when you're experiencing stress or anxiety - to lose track of the full reality of the fact that there's another real live person at the other end of the tube. Basically, the Internet encourages us to behave solipsistically.
Often they are cheap because airlines open their bases in exotic places and the regional local govs, who invested heavily in an airport as part of muscle flexing, subsidize the carriers to avoid having a ghost airport. Modus operandi or Ryanair for a while. (But also connections between major airports in EU can be cheap if booked in advance).
My worry is that writers writing on popular topics get paid (good), but those doing important work (e.g. investigative journalism) but w/o popular demand dont get paid sufficiently. Traditionally, some work subsidizes other work.

A good analogy might be a university - the EMBA, CS, Applied Sciences departments end up subsidizing the humanities departments. This is good. Classics are important. So is literature.

And those are completely believable or did already exist.

1G (analog cellular networks) already existed. NASA administrator might have had Motorola DynaTAC 8000X in 1983 even in our timeline.

EV car that runs 60 miles with a single charge is a real change to our timeline, but believable if the investment into EV would have been huge (needed in the moon and space in large quantities).

Overall, the worldbuilding that went into that show is impressive. Many events in the show actually happened, but are resolved differently or have different consequences.
This is why I get my general news from the likes of Reuters and Associated Press. I've found that these have more facts and much less opinion.

Then, when I want someone's take on something, from someone I trust, I get it from substack. Eg. Matthew Yglesias on policy, Noah Smith on finance/economics, etc.

In contrast, most big newspapers seem to me to be pushing opinion masked as fact. They never actually lie, but they are selective in what they represent and imply connections where there are none.
