> Classic cost center vs. profit center.

Always a good way to think about it. I don't know if it was entirely that clear cut in my case, since one of the apps I worked on drove a lot of leads which were clearly tied to revenue, but the realtors were a lot closer to revenue generation than I was.
Isn't this normal for US politics? This clip could as well have applied to the 60s and 70s. For example:

> The late 1960s, early 1970s saw a dramatic shift in the American political matrix, a redefinition of competing political ideologies or belief systems. War, urban riots, campus protests and student alienation, assassinations, inter-generational mistrust, monetary inflation, the growth of the welfare-warfare state, and the “Sexual Revolution,” were the background sociopolitical issues driving this sea change.

From: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2009/04/charles-burris/from-radi...

So all the violence, riots, and corrupt politics (on both sides) seems to be we are going through another cycle of warring political parties and movements?

Looks like something out of a sci-fi novel to me. But everyone has their preference, so I don't discriminate. I prefer old-fashioned hookups that I find on https://www.hornycontacts.com/horny-chat.html, and I don't plan on switching dating websites any time soon. For people like me they are pretty much ideal in every way.
You selling your low value domain and asking for a refund is not the same as the owner of ua accidentally selling ua.com

UA is likely a LARGE customer of the domain service you use and pay multiple thousands of dollars more for managed services and support than you do. They will get special treatment because it's in THEIR contract, just not yours.

Try reaching out to them and ask what kind of contract you need to sign to get the ability to reverse accidental sales, they probably can quote you a price.

It's true. Folks should look up the Venona Project and the decrypted intercepts from that era. Far beyond Hall and Sachs spying at Los Alamos, there were indeed many spies throughout the government (it was the height of the Cold War, after all).

Similarly, although Nixon was famously paranoid, he was also right about the soviets fomenting and amplifying vietnam war discord, too.
Why? Is geography or military danger the key element, economic deals, or easy borders?

Taiwan is a vibrant liberal democracy that feels very western. China is a fascist ethnostate.

China is threatening Taiwan's ability to self determine with military force, economic sanctions, and any other means of coercion at their disposal. China has demonstrated it's bad faith via denial of 1 country 2 systems, as well as a pineapple (miliworms) and pineapple cake (ractopamine) ban done clearly in bad faith (not for the reason stated).

The equivalence you have made is absolutely false. The relationship between Taiwan and China, the relationship between foxconn and china, and the releationship between Terry, the KMT, China, and the US, are all quite complicated.

Above it was claimed that Foxconn/Terry are Taiwanese and therefore American Allies, but Foxconn's business is primarily conducted in China and the KMT are definitely the party that China is aiming to corrupt Taiwan's leadership through. It's complicated.

referrals, referrals, referrals. Always be asking if anyone knows anyone needing your help.

Also, consider productized consulting.

At the least, consider hosting, that can be a good way to make money while you sleep. Also makes you more of a one-stop shop, which can be appealing to clients.
I don't know if there a good way to add value and insight to this topic because even insight is going to be zero sum and partisan, but here's a shot.

Sectarianism is something I've talked to acquaintences about for a few years, as I was thinking about how to make predictions on how current events were playing out, and the precdents I thought would be useful as a model to anticipate were an environment like the Troubles in Ireland, or the Years of Lead in Italy, and to a lesser extent, a re-run of the 1968-1970s U.S. era Weathermen type conflicts, but I think this emerging conflict will be even more of a melee.

It's still just skirmishes between very small physical groups that will probably move into terrorism and assasinations over the summer, and with tacit or direct approval and funding from within institutions to keep it going. Over a decade or more it reduces to a tawdry mix of organized crime and blood sport for the politically protected. And that's the optimistic version.

The factors and populations today are much larger, and the general destabiliztion of America both domesically and internationally is creating a power vaccuum, which a lot of different parties are rushing in to seize the void.
This vaccuum idea predicts China's current aggression on Hong Kong and Taiwan, Russia on Ukraine (and the whole region), and Iran on Israel as a direct result of domestic instability in the U.S., because these powers know it's democratically impossible to be able to mobilze a draft for a ground war to defend your allies, so they're making their plays. While that shifts the discussion away from immediate domestic concerns, those players are absolutely involved.

The fashionably Girardian view would ask, who will be the scapegoat that lets all these groups save face and gives them an out for peace, and how grisly will its end have to be? I'm pretty sure it's going to be us thoughtful types, and maybe there will be a pogrom against rationalists, because if there is one thing everyone can agree on, people who write like this can be very annoying.
I will be sending this to all my friends in academia. Bravo!
i found it helpful to join groups with activities of interest to me. for example in all the cities where i lived, i joined local linux user groups which always helped me to find friends.

those people often see themselves as outsiders as well, so they share your feelings even if they are locals. welcome to the local outsiders club. hackerspaces work like that too.

other not so popular activities work as well. if you play an instrument, irish folk sessions are easy to join. you don't even need to talk to anyone, just join in to play and you'll be welcome.

if you have kids, boy/girl scouts can be good to. if your kids have trouble finding friends in school, then being part of such a group will help them find a few kids that they have a special interest in common with.

martial arts i believe are also a good choice because they have a stronger focus on discipline and mutual respect than groups that just meet for fun. you can focus on your training while meeting people with the same interest.

Amen. As a massive ruby fan, I couldn’t put a finger on why I disliked ruby async, but you’ve got it exactly right.
> The problem with the other interpretation is that we exclude things that are obviously art (a painting stops being art when you use it) and you have a massive gray area (a urinal, placed in an art exhibition).

I don't see this as a problem. I can use my shoe to hammer a nail into a wall but my shoe is a shoe, not a hammer. A painting isn't a use-object. You can use a painting for whatever you like but it doesn't make it a use-object.

> A urinal changes from a tool to an art piece based on context and its viewers.

A urinal is not art. Hanging something to sell tickets doesn't make something art.

> That is, like currency, it only holds value so long as people believe it holds value. Anything can be used as currency, and you can correctly claim anything to be currency, but it’s quite meaningless without convincing others to buy into your interpretation

> Thus, anything can be called “art” if you can convince enough people of it — and this is how it works out in the “real world” as well (graffiti switches from art, to a statement, to a public menace, and back to art, depending on what group you’re talking to)

I think you're correct to link your perspective to fiat currency but that just drives home how empty the subjectivist view of art is. Using this definition, nothing is art because tomorrow or a year from now or next decade, people may not consider it art. Art (and all meaning) is endlessly deferred. This is not how people experience things, it's a cop-out.

It is very tricky to define art. But we're better off engaging with the people who tried to answer that question and building on their work instead of the people who refused to answer at all.
Do people actually celebrate earth day? I figured everyone knew it was a government propaganda move to make people more accepting of bureaucrats, taxation, and red tape.

The media didn't create divisiveness, although significant parts of it exploit the divisiveness for commercial purposes. We have objective evidence of severe legislative polarization at the federal level going back to the 1980s: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
I have a very shy 4 year old who generally wouldn't approach a group of unknown kids without watching them for 10-15 minutes first. With the quarantine and not seeing other people much, I worry how much worse his social anxiety would get.

Which is to say, I'd be happier to be in your boat, but I am sure both of our kids will be fine since they've got loving parents to worry if they'll be fine ;)

This is true of almost zero contracts.
I mean nobody should have to sell sex to survive certainly, but if I was going to be homeless otherwise I personally would rather the option at least be legal if I were to choose to take it.

I can see no mechanism by which legalising sex work wouldn't force anyone to go into it, anymore than people might be forced to go into it by circumstances already. If you can think of one I'm willing to hear out this line of argument, but otherwise I think the fact that nobody should be forced to do it has nothing to do with the question as whether or not choosing to do it should be illegal
I think moving away from First Past the Post voting systems is a good thing, but it is not the panacea people are hoping it will be. Just because people can vote for viable third parties does not mean that polarization will go down. It’s possible that more parties may increase divisions.

The "trick" is the default install bit. OpenBSD's default install is very limited. Since there's basically nothing enabled, the surface is limited.

Kinda surprised about the negativity here. It wasn’t too long ago that getting CI/CD set up for a small project would either be non-trivial and/or expensive. The value I get (for free!) from Github Actions is pretty substantial. Sounds like their previous policy of blaming upstream maintainers didn’t make sense, and now they’re trying to strike a reasonable balance between preventing abuse and burdening maintainers here. Maybe you think they’ve swayed too far to one side here, but I’m inclined to give Github the benefit of the doubt given the overwhelming value that I think Github Actions provides projects for free.
When I see them, I tighten loose screws, and fix things, even if they aren't mine. I try to help others, as best I can. I try to leave things better than I found them.

All we have to do is leave things 1% better than we found them, and the world gets better continuously.
This is definitely creepy. Glad to live in a European free country.
Stark hiring Mac/iOS dev to help build it's accessibility tech
NASA can't remember the difference between feet and meters, and they are notorious for delay delay delay. They are also famous for blowing up some shit too. Sadly, they have even lost humans on multiple occassions. They are not perfect.

Musk has a rocket that can be reused multiple times, and can deliver to the ISS. NASA can't do any of that.

NASA has been around for 70 years, yet still no people on Mars. Just cute little robots that they hired others to build for them. Short Musk all you want, but he's the only one that I think will actually attempt doing things on mars than taking pictures and soil samples.
I seem to recall that system was a bit annoying if the file type matched but the creator didn't.
> The existing Name Manager in Excel allows any formula to be given a name. If we name our function PYTHAGORAS, then a formula such as PYTHAGORAS(3,4) evaluates to 5. Once named, you call the function by name, eliminating the need to repeat entire formulas when you want to use them.

That's the biggest issue with LET / LAMBDA at the moment. Users are terrified of the name manager and simply do not understand what they are for or what "scope" means. On top of that, copying content from one workbook to another leads to names being copied over as well, which is how I often end up with ancient names such as FXRATE1997
> Cloud services are ruled by a ruthless economy of scales. This is where Amazon, Google, MSFT and a host of other cloud providers shine, reaping the benefits of investment in data-centers and petabytes of storage capacity.

I dunno about that. Amazon and Google, at least, charge significantly more than I could go out and buy a few drives for on sale. (AND, of course, they charge it perpetually. Dunno how StorJ works.)
Google doesn't claim that they are trying to protect your privacy... ever since Gmail started, Google said that they were reading your emails.

You know, I don't really personally care if the successor to JPEG is AVIF (based on AV1), HEIF (based on h.265, pushed by Apple), or WebP (based on V8).

I just wish we could standardize on one. Trying to figure out which browsers support which, which way the winds are blowing, etc. keeps me sticking to JPEG.

It seems like h.265 "won" as the most widely supported new video codec with hardware acceleration. Yet confusingly, HEIF has not ridden on its coattails.

Where is this all going? And will we even have settled on a single successor before next-gen codecs like h.266 disrupt it all again?
> Yep. I meant it was easy to do it the inefficient way where you just refresh the entire query when any table mentioned in the query changes.

You might find it’s cheaper to do just that. It might cost you in computational resources, but save you millions in engineering time.
Can you speak more to how updates get pushed out to your UI clients?
Are you using Firestore ? Hasura? Polling?

Something we're looking at enabling w/ Estuary Flow [1] is materializing to Firestore for this use case (and Flow already supports PostgreSQL materializations).

Flow would capture changes from your database tables (or you write normalized events directly to Flow collections). You aggregate and join as needed,
and then materialize your views into Firestore (or another Postgres table)
where you'd subscribe for live updates.

If my current workplace offered me a 15% raise in exchange for forgoing toilet breaks and pissing in a bottle for the next year, I would go for it.

I'm sure there's a number for which I'd agree to be stranded on a boat off the coast of Egypt without power, but I suspect it's closer to 15x my salary.

As I understand it, this makes the latter 100x worse than the former.

HEIF has the problem of being patent-encumbered. Cisco has graciously given out decoding licenses, but encoding is murkier. Luckily, hardware acceleration usually isn't required for still images, so you can encode to whatever, as browsers can decode them all just fine.
Depends on if you are an originalist or not.
I'm slightly confused, if the owner can't afford to deal with the costs, they obviously dont have the financial ability to penalize the individual NOT to abandon ship.

> There are two flavours of noise—Perlin and Simplex.

Value noise? Worley? There's a ton of algorithms, not just Perlin's. I like Pixar's Wavelet more than the patent-free Simplex implementations, which are all kinda disappointing knockoffs.

Value noise is comically easy to implement, and comes in handy in a pinch. Usually loads of artifacts. Perlin noise is also easy but a bit more intricate (my first attempt at a fixed-point implementation got a sign wrong).

Notably I think Minecraft had a buggy implementation of multidimensional noise for a long long time, visible along chunk boundaries in the form of very sharp edges/transitions.

The ability to reliably generate oxygen from the ambient atmosphere on Mars is one of the crucial requirements if we are to ever use most of our materials knowledge there, let alone support humans.
