I'm glad rock-collecting isn't like this. There's obviously the people who travel to localities to hand-collect their own samples and the people who just think rocks are pretty. But everyone has been very welcoming since I got back into it and even the most knowledgeable and serious dealer will talk to you at your level. You want a sample of malachite because it's really neat-looking? Great. You want to sit and talk about the composition, formation conditions, and what other minerals form alongside it? That's great too! Also, I have these samples I haven't put out for sale yet, but you seem interested and I really want to show them to you.

Having spent so much time in the horse world, the "You like rocks? Me too! Look at this one!" Attitude is so refreshing.
Treadmills make exercise a more viable option when it’s raining outside, you don’t want to worry about getting mugged at 11PM, or just don’t want to get dressed to go out.

People who exercise more are often healthier, and health has all sorts of benefits on society.
Traditionally, the government provides things for you, such as roads, bridges, schools, and police protection, in return for your taxes. Progressive politicians not only tax you but take away your freedom to use common items. I doubt this will be popular.
What I found frustrating is how fast a front-end project is getting old.

Taking a NPM+Framework project of 9 months old I often have a low change of install-run at the first time. Always there's an update, an incompatibility, or something that brakes the build process and I need a couple of hours to fix it again.

Is not possible to work like this in the long run. Front-end projects are investments of time and money and I want them to be durable and maintainable for a long period.

P.S.
I started digging into clojurescript/webassembly for this reason

I did think of ways to have alternative strumming, but there's something hilarious about it just mashing the strum button as fast as it can. And since the solenoid was able to handle it, I kept it as is :)

The fear of gun violence is imaginary. The media instills the fear because, quoting the Chomsky propaganda model, "when people fear, they accept authority". Most people in the US wouldn't know gun ownership is a thing, because most of them will never see a gun unless they go to a range.

My hypothesis as to why the new US administration is so fixated on gun control is that they really need to import big piles of migrants to do the low rung labor, but if that new underclass gets guns, things will go downhill. So their plan is to pack the supreme court with anti-gun judges (to bypass the bill of rights) and take the guns. They seem to be trying the Australian scenario where a possibly manufactured shooting was used as an excuse to ban guns.

Our strategy was to get a 30 year, with the lower payments. When we both had jobs, we would pay extra per month to be close to 15 year mortgage. If one of us was laid off, we pay the 30 year (on the loan) amount. We watched the rates, and refinanced a couple of times for 30 years. Being in Silicon Valley, the house appreciated every year more than the payments. So it was a place to live, and an investment.

Just get the damn guns out of their reach. This “problem” is unique to America because of the stupid romance with guns.

Stop selling the guns like candies and move on, like the rest of the world. Sure, there will be problems, but smaller.
When someone is that kind of person, they likely don't have many relationships, but a lot of time. I'd be surprised if that person wasn't good at their job, and if not, what motivated grandparent to put so much effort into trying to heal what seems like a fundamental distrust in other people.
Nice, thanks for the response! The video was well produced too, congrats! :)
In my experience, Levi's and other "quality" jeans last long enough to go out of style (5+ years, much to my wife's chagrin), whereas cheap jeans fail in the crotch and/or pockets in under a year. For a few years I switched to cheap jeans and just repaired them when they ripped, but you can only sew up a pocket so many times on really cheap fabric before they are so thin they won't even hold a stitch.
Maybe, but my guess would be that there's a trade off made here. Either you can use higher dimensionality in the abstract, or you can have a much much bigger brain. A bigger brain processes slower merely because of volume and requires a lot more resources to support it.

Nature stumbled onto the path that it did because we don't have high enough nutrient food or fast enough neurons.
That's not where its high value comes from though. And the vast majority of gold is not used in the industry.
Which is pretty interesting. Apparently Outlook mangles inline patches for the lkml as well to the point that they are unusable and that would have been an interesting talking point in and of itself.

But apparently talking about this is not in scope of this post and trying to piece together the issues just gets you downvoted so... Thanks for your advice, I was not aware that Gmail clobbers plain text mails, I guess there is more to it then getting your mail client to send plain text email. Maybe some explanation of the subject would have been nice.
This article addresses the recreational use of guns: if you need the key so you can go hunting, just wait the 5 minutes required to thaw the ice.

I feel like psychological pre-interventions are more important here, as a gun is a tool to an end.

It is good that there's protection possibly along that line. I just wish that there was expanded access to psychedelically-based therapy + integration therapy for veterans/survivors of simple/repeated PTSD.

I've swung towards the cheap end and am currently wearing some basic Sony over-ears.

I have more expensive gear. The value here is not really in the audio quality - which, apart from the most strenuous audio engineering flat-response-and-detailed-image-needed cases, is fine, really - but in being light and cheap and embracing that quality. It rattles a little when you hold it, but it's made to withstand a few drops, and it won't pressure your skull or force your neck out of posture with hours of use. The cable is soldered in but sturdy.

The $75 ones I've used always tend to end up with issues because they don't have these qualities. The cables are still soldered but of a lower thickness, and the rigidity of the frame makes them disconnect more readily. They pinch your ears and crush your skull. The quality is better but not enough to matter in everyday use - a good DAC and a low-noise environment makes more difference.
They want to avoid a re-call and installation of a $100 unit with an extra $100 labour cost (because bye-bye profit margin).

Also, the second they (themselves - Peloton) admit that "our product killed a kid and we knew of this risk, and we chose risk acceptance and when with it anyway - because you know.. profit margin" their company is dead. They got one chance, to prove that "everyone else is crazy, and please buy more Pelotons with pathetic ads".

They can take the high-road that has a 50-50 (?) chance to doom them, or make them the top responsible company. What we can do is stop buying their products, until they either make them safer, or see them go bust (and spend the extra $50-100-200 and buy safer products).

Knives are one step away -- I don't think the gun is as important in this case.

I'd argue for sensible gun control, but removing guns period could destabilize victims too. Having a sense of safety and security in the event of a home invasion, etc, is incredibly important. Not having that/taking it away feels like the easy paper solution, but is possibly much more harmful in the end (like forcibly institutionalizing people in local mental health hospitals, I'd note).
What? You can't really faze me with porn but I genuinely don't like watching videos of people getting injured.

This is why people who miss WPD on reddit kind of worry me a little. I understand the philosophical side to the argument and all that but it's probably the only stuff online that really sets my caveman-alarm off.
I think I understand why you phrased it like this, but using "at least" here might be read as implying that technical competence can excuse these issues. It can't.

I can understand management being hesitant to fire someone technically competent, but this kind of disfunction can tank the productivity of an entire team of otherwise technically competent people, as OP alluded to at the end of their comment.
I definitely understand the frustration towards the growing ecosystem of web app technologies, but I think people really disregard the necessity of the complexity.

There are certain things that basic HTML/CSS simply cannot do, or if it can, does so in a very hacky way. For basic websites, you can absolutely get away with more basic templating, but as soon as you enter the territory of clean looking UI components that are both visibly appealing and functional, you are basically required to implement the complexity somewhere the choice of framework then is just determining how you want to structure that complexity. When you try to make a performant web application with a lot of interconnected, moving parts, the reason for a lot of the "bloat" becomes very apparent.
They can go as far as they want. I think I've made it difficult enough for people to follow along that if they actually get to the end then they're discerning enough to know what they're doing.
Windows 95 booted into DOS first, loaded any DOS device drivers in CONFIG.SYS and then automatically ran WIN.COM to launch the Windows 95 shell.

At that point the system dropped into protected mode and was 32bit native operating system. However there was still 16bit DOS code and 16bit Windows code running. Windows 95 could easily be thought of as a very advanced DOS application.

I disagree with the author when he says "we didn't know better". Windows 95, as it was designed, was necessary. It had to be able to run on the hardware (and with the drivers) of machines at the time and run existing DOS and Windows 3.1 software.
Laptop sales grew slightly in 2019 and massively in 2020, desktop sales have dropped for the past 10 years every year, tablets were big in 2013-15, but dropped about 25% since then.

These days you have to cover 5 platforms, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Web, so most people, including Microsoft, pick Web first and everything else is based on that web version.
Also their security team can just be a subgroup of coders who have some idea how their software executes.

IMHO most sane vendors who want you to install something on your machine make it open source and use existing tools as much as possible. Doing it this way also decreases chances of some "temporary fix" changes on even otherwise secure software. Companies optimize for money, management tries to align with company values and engineers often just have to follow it. It's inevitable what trade-offs will be made unless there's some direct negative impact. For everybody selling their time and not being heavily invested, ignoring black swans and basically "eating tons of sugar" is the natural move.
In this case wouldn't it be a cultural thing for the management rather than the engineers? They're both human, but if the boss says get it done or get out, the standard is set from the top.
Are suicidal people likely to embrace this concept? The only vet I know who's dealt with strong suicidal ideation refuses to keep guns in her house at all. This sort of elaborate technological pageantry seems pointless.
Are there more rich people in Somalia or "France/Portugal/Brazil/Sweden".
It's almost like everyone including rich people benefit from a society where government is properly funded.
It's also seems properly funded governments generate more capable people(see incomes over 6 fig).

Obviously you can over-do it, but parent compared taxes to protection money from the mafia and that is ridiculous.

Also people who are “passionate about taxes” think that rich people benefit more from a properly funded society then more poor people, so they should pay more. So as the parent says "what a stupid argument"
Also, of course we are my passionate about high taxes. We are passionate about the society that high taxes provide.

All of your arguments seen quite disengenious.
May be you are too far left where "middle" seems like far right?
I don't understand exactly what you mean. There were only 30 frames coming in per second that I could parse. Do you think there might be a way to get 60fps from the PS2 and parse that in the OpenCV code?
"The thing that makes this all work is artificial intelligence". How so? That was an interesting statement that I was keen on understanding.
They may employ experts, but that's a different thing entirely from listening to them.
A loved one or similar type individual may be able to have a second/backup key on their person in the event of a home invasion. That way there's a layered approach but also a level of self-advocacy/self-agency in the issue, which I'd argue is the supreme thing fighting against the depression itself.

Taking away the self agency, and you might as well probabilistically condemn them to die in another way. (Though that's just my two cents from my experiences surrounding suicidality and/or other suicidal individuals).
> But we've moved on from that time. It feels like the height of arrogance and gatekeeping to look down on someone who just wants to be able to italicize or bold some text in their emails sometimes.

does rich email formatting still make a mess on mailing lists? most clients send a plaintext part, sure, but is it well formatted?

i think it's okay for a team to have customs, and even engage in a little gatekeeping. it's not that much to ask considering how much effort goes in from long time contributors.

last i heard github was adding features to actually make it harder to submit drive by PRs because exhausted maintainers were finding themselves further exhausted by uninvested contributors making superfluous contributions. (for events or name recognition or whatever)

that said, disrespect is never a good thing.
No need to "shudder": Chopped West Tennessee pork is cooked essentially the same as pulled East Tennessee pork. The East Tennessee version may be cooked a little longer, but the West Tennessee version is close to being able to be pulled. Since I grew up with the West Tennessee version, I prefer biting into juicy chunks instead of stringy shreds! But I have a date for lunch on April 28th at a local East Tennessee BBQ joint that does pulled pork and am looking forward to it. For dinner this evening, I intend to have some of my chopped pork from my last trial!

I'd say that if you like East Tennessee pulled, you will also like West Tennessee chopped at least nearly as much -- there really isn't a lot of difference.
Try Tinker tool, it may be close.
the problem is.. it's intel.. and they've lost multiple court battles showing that they used illegal/protective contracts in the forms of rebates/discounts/kickbacks to block out AMD from the market. And this is likely a continuation of that. This isn't just Alienware pushing one over another, they're actively making one look bad / less attractive.

>>It feels like the height of arrogance and gatekeeping to look down on someone who just wants to be able to italicize or bold some text in their emails sometimes.

I really disagree with this part of your post. Plain text is just that, plain text. By definition there is no bold and no italics. We can talk about the the weird technical limitations and requirements for submitting inline patches all night if you like but I'm not sure what you are even complaining about aside from the technical limitations of plain text emails. If you think this is gatekeeping and it keeps you from expressing yourself I don't even know what to say.
Even if they were no longer sold, there are already more privately owned guns than people in circulation. And population levels are predicted to plummet, which means the number of guns per capita will go up. And there isn’t really a record of who has the guns. I know a man who ran a gun selling side business who gave all his guns away when he got cancer, before he died. Illegal? Sure. But now those guns are impossible to track down. That isn’t the only case I’m aware of.

The only real solution is to amend the constitution to remove the right to bear arms. I have no doubt that would lead to full scale civil war.
I fear that some engineer(s) probably said at some point: what if a puppy/toddler is grabbed/pinched/pulled underneath?

At which moment the product director got a mini heart-attack, sensed his/her bonus was at stake, and immediately asked the engineer(s) to be transferred to other projects.

My understanding is that blind or visually impaired people tend to use Windows because that's where the two(?) big screenreader programs run; JAWS is one[1], I forget the other but it might be NVDA[2]. Microsoft have traditionally had some focus on accessibility, e.g. there's a video from a few years back of a blind programmer demonstrating how they program in Visual Studio[3]. Outside that, Emacspeak[4] is an eyes-free Emacs, I think it can boot into that environment; it was developed by a blind person and claims:

> Emacspeak introduces several improvements and innovations when compared with screenreaders designed to allow blind users to interact with personal computers. Unlike screenreaders that speak the contents of a visual display, Emacspeak speaks the underlying information. As an example, using a calendar application with a screenreader results in the blind user hearing a sequence of meaningless numbers; In contrast, Emacspeak speaks the relevant date in an easy to comprehend manner.

> The system deploys the innovative technique of audio formatting to increase the band-width of aural communication; changes in voice characteristic and inflection combined with appropriate use of non-speech auditory icons are used throughout the user interface to create the equivalent of spatial layout, fonts, and graphical icons so important in the visual interface. This provides rich contextual feedback and shifts some of the burden of listening from the cognitive to the perceptual domain.

Unless you are just using your handgun for sport, this sort of defeats the purpose of having one for defense. And as long as you are just using it for sport, why not just have a 2-key lock, and you give the second key to your trusted buddy.

At any rate, I applaud any efforts to curb handgun deaths. I personally think handgun purchases should come with a free suicide prevention pamphlet or similar. I've long argued that if people really cared specifically about gun deaths, handguns should be the first and primary target, not "ghost guns" and bump stocks and other rarely-used (but scary sounding) accessories.

Handguns aren't particularly useful in war either compared to rifles, are easily concealable, and are just all around bad news. I think most of America's "gun epidemic" could be solved just by cracking down exclusively on handguns (for both civilians and police) and not bothering with rifles. It's counter-intuitive because a lot of mass shooters use rifles, but if you look at the numbers, the total number of people that die from mass shootings (and rifles in general) is very small, especially when compared to handgun deaths.
Sometimes clean looking UI requires complexity.

If I need to let a user sort a list of items, is it more UI/UX friendly to make them press a button multiple times until an item is in the right place, or is it better to let them click and drag the item to the right part of the list?

The latter requires a lot more work but makes the experience a lot smoother.
Further, the naked word "conspiracy" is itself trending towards this meaning.
"Non-contrubuting ideation" - people from other groups without real skin in the game who don't want to take responsibility for anything but insist on providing input on how it's done, and often have some political standing to do so. This has come up again and again in many roles. For me personally, I am really bad at handling this. Sometimes it's fine just to meet with people an hear their ideas (which can obviously be helpful). But other times I have had to basically say that if this other person wants to run the project, they're welcome to it. I'm aware that a lot of this is my fault and some people are much better at diplomatically handling this kind of situation. At the same time, I have led some very successful projects by taking a stand and burning political capital by keeping armchair quarterbacks away from the project.
American corporations—once they reach a certain size—do not act with respect to anything resembling supposedly American values. they often seem to exist entirely outside of government overwatch.

Four IR sensors on a perimeter below the tread should do the job (interrupt the beam and it stops). Idk how companies come up with such non-safe products, even without regulation. It’s just a common sense to add some trivial safety to mechanisms.
That's reasonable, but I'm getting an odor of dismissiveness from the article when for example it wraps up with, "see also: Karen".

The article could probably stand to have a section added to it with references like "Errors in Health Care: A Leading Cause of Death and Injury" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK225187/) as a point in favor of those cases that aren't misguided. I'm not the right person to add that though.

(Aside: it occurs to me that some might interpret these comments as being more severely critical of health care workers than I actually am. Overall I regard them as experts and defer to their expertise.)
