Yes. I do not get 803 calls at all anymore. Am on iOS 14.4.2. I also use T-Mobile Scam Shield so I can see all the calls that have come in from the carrier’s perspective, so before iOS blocks them.

It’s interesting, of the last 24 calls from the 803 area code (most recent was yesterday) only 9 were identified as spam by T-Mobile and blocked by them. The others were blocked by the WideProtect app. Certain all of them were spam.

I've been thinking about going down the TrueNAS route (the TrueNAS Mini series looks really nice), but it seems a little expensive. Is the extra cost worth the convenience of having a machine that you know will stay compatible with FreeNAS?

It's nice and creative, and that's what matters, people remember these web experience, that's why Flash was popular back then, it was all about impact, when today, the great majority of websites slap the exact same (bootstrap/material) layout, the same typography, down to the same "allegra" illustrations and nobody remember any of these...

But it's definitely not the craziest website I've ever seen.

Why can't I leave your website using the back button? This is already untrustworthy.
Once you went the 4K way every other DPI resolution looks awful. I had a private 4K monitor and got a company laptop update and a new monitor at the office. I first thought what the heck can't the IT department get their video drives right on a fresh install until I realized that unsharp resolution just is the native pixel densitiy of the display.

So in order to get crisp DPIs, 32'' with fractional scaling might still make sense. At least to me, it's like reading crisp sharp paper online.

In X11 it's also possible to get passwords typed automatically with xdotool, which I call through an xmonad package. The only thing I'm missing is more powerful autocompletion.
> that the NQP strategy was going to leave Parrot developers in a dead end

If Parrot had provided all that Perl 6 needed at that time, I don't think the multiple backend strategy would have been selected. Why would one?

> where I said that the NQP strategy was going to leave Parrot developers in a dead end

To me that feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, had Parrot been able to attract other languages to a significant extent, the abandoning of Parrot by Perl 6 would not have been an issue.

Personally, I think Parrot was not able to attract other languages because:

1. it didn't provide enough benefits to account for the extra effort needed by language developers. It definitely did not for Perl 6 at the time.

2. it didn't have a core team welcoming enough to keep anybody vaguely interested in Parrot

In the end, it is always about being able to create a community in open source. Without it, a project is indeed on a dead end.
That's pretty cool, though I think I would be capable of creating a userscript that can apply gradient text.

It's interesting that naively you can't prevent "context collapse" and "filter bubble" at simultaneously: you must allow for people to be exposed to and engage in topics they don't really know anything about or contribute constructively in, or wall them off only into the communities that they participate in.

There are probably nuanced and ingenious solutions to this, but nothing straightforward.

It seems to me you're painting everything black or everything white, no shades in between.

I never said anyone must rely only on investment income. I also never said that everybody should stop working and live off of investments (of course it's unsustainable). But outright refusing to combine salary and investment income just because investments "don't compound fast enough" is like saying you don't want to ride a bicycle because BMW 750i is faster than bicycle, so you'd rather walk.

Look long term. I'm fairly and squarely in middle class. Yet, my family net worth went from -$11,000 to +$50,000 in less than 4 years. Was it luck? Inheritance? Heck no! We changed our habits, cut spending, got rid of debt, worked hard to increase income and then invested everything we could afford. I'm aware that my wife and me would still probably never be millionaires. But my kid? No doubt! If he ends with less than $5,000,000 net worth I would be disappointed.

I don't think that I ever implied that. To me, in one sentence, it's more like "Parrot and Perl 6 diverged, so that Parrot was no longer a good fit for Perl 6, so the Perl 6 developers had no choice but to write their own VM"
In US, BTC had a use such as on Silkroad for drugs and other stuff; in China, at least from what I understand, it has a use of transferring assets out of the country.

If you talk about China specifically, the average people wouldn't consider governments 'oppressive', the approval rate for government is actually quite high.

This is interesting - there is plenty of recording apps and suddenly users no longer can use them and Google killed their business. I wonder if that broke any anti-trust laws.
It's kind of like Google disabled features that let apps like Whatsapp work and then only allowed phone manufacturer to install their own chat app...

Does it mean if I had a rooted phone I could get the call recording working on latest Android?

I am still going with 2018 phone and it's a bit worn now. Only thing that stops me from buying a new phone is that missing feature and when I ask about call recording the sellers would say yes there are plenty of apps in Play Store, but they don't know these apps don't work.
I don't know how reliably I can find out if the phone at least has a manufacturer's call recording app.
Some of those permissions don’t exist on the iOS version (and some aren’t even permissions available on the platform?) which may indicate that Android perms are misconfigured.

On the other hand, I have always found the simplistic utilitarism you described to be just too trivialized to use for any worthwhile conclusions. In particular, your last example assumes that "utility" adds up linearly. I claim that "utility is a linear quantity" should sound preposterous to anyone that has worked in physics, biology, engineering, or some other form of study of dynamical systems. This is the "spherical cow in vacuum on a frictionless plane" of philosophy.

Edit: My message, devoid of tone, sounds glib and antagonistic. My bad! I actually find your line of reasoning important and interesting, even if I consider it "obviously" flawed.

I don't have ADHD but often find it hard to finish books too. I honestly think that there's a lot of books that are simply not worth reading.

On page 5 they tally it up as a $400 difference vs building your own.
What I want is something like figma that is better abstracted for making scalable web designs and outputting better code - for instance figma has auto layouts which are nice, but the output css can just be a rule on the parent class that makes equal margins for all children, instead of the weird absolutely positioned css that comes out.

I don’t build web apps that just absolutely position everything on the page, there’s a document flow and I want my design app to express individual elements based on the relationships between them, not arbitrary drag and drop.

We never really exposed general population of under 34s to unmitigated coronavirus (perhaps March/April 2020 in USA or Sweden in 2020 is closest we got to it), but even that is uncontrolled for people deciding to reduce exposure to other people on their own.

"10000 less likely" was derived from 1 in 6 million compared to a global death rate of roughly 2%, then allowing for roughly an order of magnitude error: not scientific at all, I agree.

Taking your numbers as undisputable while not acknowledging that they are as uncertain as "the other side" is a bit dishonest in my opinion.

As they doubled down on video calls, I wonder how long it’d take MS teams to burn through the battery. On my 2019 i5 MBP I’d loose at least 40% of the charge over 1 hour.
hints at a few bitter opinions like "...companies I had ideological issues around..."

Being opposed to working for companies that build business models around eroding privacy, delivering adverts faster, or even literally killing people in the case of weapons manufacturers isn't "bitter". Those are valid opinions. Not being willing to work for any company that will give you a paycheck without questioning the impact of what you're doing is a good thing.

Imagine if you were a drug dealer smuggling in a million dollars of cocaine into Chicago from Mexico. Great, you got the drugs in, now how do you get the money back out? You'll still have to find a way to move a million dollars all the way, through air, land, and sea. It's so much easier to hide a pen drive or a laptop.
I second this; languages and frameworks come and go and you definitely do not want to be left behind. What’s more important is learning how to learn, so you can pick up any language (“tool”) that comes your way.

> but given the clear disparity between the necessary level of enrichment for weapons production and 60%

I'm also not an expert here, but I did a bit of research out of curiosity.

First, the core Little Boy was 64kg of 80% enriched uranium. Wikipedia says the theoretical lower limit for an implosion-type nuclear bomb of 20%. This report[1], cited on Wiki's "enriched uranium" page, seems to indicate that the critical mass for 60% HEU is ~100kg (for U233) or ~200kg (for U235).

Based upon that, it's not at all clear to me that 60% HEU isn't a direct step toward acquiring nuclear weapons.

I work on an application that could benefit from web assembly but the biggest hurdle for me is that it's kind of complex.

The web used to be quite simple but now it sometimes feels like you have to have a very large team in order to do anything. Sure, I could probably do web assembly but that would take time from other things that also is important.

I get that it is very useful for larger teams making larger applications like Figma. But for small teams it feels like the tooling isn't there yet to do anything useful in the timespan that I need to.

That being said, assemblyscript seems very interesting and I probably should look into it.
