If you ever get the chance, try putting together a strat with one of those cheap paulownia bodies and compare it to.. well, anything else that is exactly the same except for the body material. To me, the difference is glaring; the paulownia is so treble-heavy it's intolerable.
Ah, thanks for explaining that so clearly and thoroughly. You're right that I was forgetting hooks. (And I learned something else from what you wrote -- that often a library will have it's triggered function merely enqueue a task. Of course that makes sense but I'd forgotten that in an emacs context (whereas I might have thought of it in a backend web dev context)). Two questions/comments:

1. I had it in my head that emacs arranged for font lock to be done in a separate thread? (Also, why is it called "lock"? I just use that word cos the emacs docs and code do)

2. Isn't org mode folding/unfolding just a blocking call that happens when you ask it to?
A link for what ?

It's mentioned in the "How DIDs Differ from Other Globally Unique Identifiers" section.

> The need for globally unique identifiers that do not require a centralized registration authority is not new. UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers, also called GUIDs, Globally Unique Identifiers) were developed for this purpose in the 1980s and standardized first by the Open Software Foundation and then by IETF RFC 4122.

> As a rule, however, UUIDs are not globally resolvable and URNs – if resolvable – require a centralized registration authority. In addition, neither UUIDs or URNs inherently address a third characteristic – the ability to cryptographically verify ownership of the identifier.

TLDR: We've used UUIDs for a while now, they're cool and all but don't work in a distributed network as they assume location-addressing to one central, verifying server. Instead, DIDs work via content-addressing, making them more ideal in distributed networks as they're easier to verify.
Thanks, that's a great comment!

>The post doesn't say "all outsourcing is bad",

I didn't interpret his essay that way. His acknowledgements of some outsourcing being valid doesn't address my criticism.

>and your 3 examples are all companies that (as far as I can tell) are very deliberate about what they outsource and deliberate about keeping control of the things they want to keep doing: NVIDIA is not going to go out to someone else and say "we want a GPU chip", but rather they are designing them end-to-end to make full use of what their production partners can do.

And this is a great example that ties back to the author's point because he criticized Boeing. Boeing designs the planes and tells the outsourced partners what to make. Boeing then does final assembly in Boeing-owned factories in Washington and North Carolina.

So to use your wording, Boeing does not go to somebody else and say "we want a 787 plane". Boeing does more building than NVIDIA.

I think a fair reading of his essay is that he thinks that a company that is more vertically integrated via less (but not zero) outsourcing leads to more innovation. He was lamenting that outsourcing productivity software like MS Office 365 wasn't a good trend so presumably, companies that insourced that inhouse would be "more innovative".
In addition to BIP39 cited below, the EFF also published some useful wordlists a few years ago... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-p...

One has the nice property that all words have unique 3 letter prefix. But not as many in prefix list (1296) as their "long" list (7776).

That said I'm kinda partial to BIP39... first four letters are unique, and words are more uniform than EFF prefix list.

But it looks like GPS addressing schemes like w3w need a MUCH larger list by an order of magnitude.
Are you saying that the SDK tools that build apks (aapt? I'm not sure) only compress files selectively? And what kinds of consequences are there if you do compress resources.arsc? I suppose it never keeps a copy in memory but reads it a lot, and if it's compressed, you're taking a performance penalty from it having to decompress the whole thing on every access?
Universal Studios Hollywood was using them up to about 7 years ago? Cell service wasn't the best and they hadn't rolled out wifi everywhere so tour guides would have them to keep up on what was going on.
Don't apologize. It's a pretty common practice. Some e-commerce vendors may not like it, because it disturbs their statistics or marketing shenanigans, but the error here is on their side - they assume that putting something in a cart is an intent to purchase. That assumption is wrong.

It's obvious why this happens. The shopping cart, as an e-commerce pattern, is a bookmarking tool. You put stuff there, it stays there while you browse the store for other stuff. If you step out for an hour and come back, things you added to the cart are still there. If you close the tab and open it later, the things are still there. If the price changes in between, it's updated. If an item goes out of stock, it's reflected on the cart screen. If it quacks and walks like a bookmarking tool, ...

The way for the e-commerce sites to stop it is obvious: put a time limit on the basket. Purge it if the user leaves it be for more than a couple hours. But for some reason, nobody seems to do that :).

As for the browser bookmarks, I also don't use them much (nor does anybody I know). They map badly to actual use cases. For short-term storage, tabs are perfect (especially when the browser saves them between restarts). For mid-to-long-term storage, you want to save your links where you can find them on any device, and often you also want to store them within the service itself (see also: stars on GitHub - they're not an expression of appreciation for the project, they're just bookmarks).

“Gel ink is viscous, but it’s not thick enough to prevent it from flowing. This means it can evaporate over time”

These are three different, unrelated phenomena. In a Newtonian fluid, no matter how large the viscosity, the fluid will flow when a shear stress is applied (think honey).

A gel is instead typically a non-Newtonian fluid, i.e. a certain threshold stress has to be reached before motion sets in (think toothpaste).

I don’t really see why the author then relates evaporation to viscosity. Shielding the fluid of interest from mixing with the surroundings will prevent evaporation (close the bottle of water and it will remain full, leave it open and then it will evaporate eventually).

There are different tiers of abstraction. This post picked a level of granularity that the author felt would be helpful for a certain subset of readers.

Whether the "stack" is formalized or not, it's the mental model (and the vocabulary) that's most often used when working with this stuff. I don't think there's anything wrong with the fact that they focused on the forest and not the trees.

You're being an argumentative pedant.

- Intel became incompetent at fabs, though they wish otherwise

- most chip companies, possibly Nvidia, simply can't afford their own fabs, esp. "the next generation" that is always coming

- Apple uses SAP because they're not in the MRP software business

- Apple stopped assembling box computers because it was commoditized, and real estate/labor in Calif. became too expensive.

I suggest you re-read your posts and step up your logical thinking.

And using the word "ideal" is just moving the goalpost.

I don't view Docker as an "extra" dependency: I view it as the _only_ dependency.

For example, at my last job, before we switched to Docker, a client dev that wanted to run a local backend had to install postures, apply initial schema, and then download and run the app. Not only was this a bunch of steps the client devs weren't familiar with, it led to backend devs being reticent about using the most appropriate tool for new features (e.g. shoving service discovery awkwardly into SQL instead of into something like etcd - and before anyone says "well that's fine" or "just do xyz instead," realize that's just an example of several). It was annoying to client devs to have to add new tools all the time, and annoying to backend devs to have to constantly troubleshoot misinstallation / misconfiguration.

When we switched to Docker, the client devs could run the backend without having to manage anything. Install docker (once), then run a very basic script that basically just ran "docker-compose pull; docker-compose up".

I don't generally want to be able to deploy to arbitrary environments. I want something that is easy to build, builds consistently, and lets all my fellow devs run whatever host they need to be maximally effective.

On Windows, it's true, if you need Virtual Box specifically then you can't use "Docker for Windows". You could either move the VB stuff into Hyper-V, or run Docker directly on a VB VM (a little less turnkey, but not particularly difficult).
Sorry, I wasn't meant to be abrasive or anything, it's a genuine question. When you say "For privacy preserving IDs..." it sounds like DIDs are not privacy preserving, while the people who worked on DIDs did in fact think about privacy when designing it. But maybe I'm understanding your previous comment wrong, sorry if that's the case.
Or don't ignore it. Most of the criticism I read in the comments is actually constructive and true. Just because OP's kid did it doesn't mean the only valid comments are "wow this is great".
Yeah, though this depends on the size of the channel - in a somewhat similar vein, see how Reddit basically gave up on parts of the netiquette by instead automating parts of it.
> If you're just saying "have text-only channels" I don't understand the point of using Clubhouse in the first place. There are a ton of great text-only messaging platforms.

And that's why I'm staying away from Clubhouse as long as I can. I believe that we should prefer text for important discussions, so as not to leave people out. We're still learning how to effectively have online discussions in text, but I think it's too soon to give up on it and retreat to relying on audio.
I mean...many of them do? At least in America, that's a thing. Now it might not be the ONLY factor (I don't believe most MDs are out here prescribing things that patients wouldn't find beneficial) but it plays into their equation. And occasionally we do hear stories about pill farms...
There was a chain of gyms in Boston that famously required you to go there in person to cancel. When they closed due to COVID, they continued charging their members. The closure prevented members from both cancelling and making use of gym services.

> If we start creating laws around these things, then it’ll only be even tougher for up-comers to challenge the existing big players.

That's very "entrepreneurial" view. From big networks we've learnt what issues are there, but we should exclude small players from the rules, because it makes it hard to create a product?

I do get a sentiment, but some products are just super hard to build and require huge capital and time investments. Does that give advantage to big established players? Yes. But why should we allow small players to act knowingly in a way that's bad?
The Wired article https://www.wired.com/story/calibri-default-font-microsoft-m... is even blunter! The product manager explicitly says the only problem with Calibri was that it was boring.

(I was amused when, discussing the new fonts on IRC and whether boredom/novelty does indeed drive most sales/commissions/redesigns, someone recommended Butterick's Triplicate as a better font for coding, and the other person bought it then & there - and then said they'd review how much they liked it, just as soon as they figured out how to install new fonts...)
This explains the stagnation in the airline industry pretty well. They don't make the planes so there isn't a lot they can change about the in-flight experience, and they don't run the airports so there isn't much they can do about the onboarding experience.

There's a Planet Money episode where they talk about an airline that made more money selling oil futures than flying planes.[1] Maybe any sufficiently outsourced company becomes indistinguishable from a finance company.

The world doesn't end with web apps. I use Java a lot for event based simulations and for heavy math and it works like a charm. I don't think I can easily replace it with Typescript to be honest...
That's of course true, but it's might be misleading. OoO didn't take off until HPS came up with the reorder buffer (and enabled precise exceptions), with Pentium Pro being the first (and highly successful) implementation. Also, branch prediction has dramatically improved since stretch, McFarly's two-level was a breakthrough and the current state of the art is Seznec's TAGE-SC.

My point is that there's still a lot of advancement made.
Hey, glad to help. Yes it's true, vermiculture doesn't destroy pathogens to anywhere near the same degree as composting, and the heat is an important factor. Pathogens aren't a concern in composting, they're simply destroyed by the process. Further, composting is superior at degrading or destroying other inputs like pharmaceuticals
- with a few exceptions like certain chemotherapy drugs; gasoline; TNT; insecticides and herbicides and other such poisons, etc. In contrast, red worms have a much smaller range of diet, and again don't produce biological heat. Composting is a powerful process and thermophilic microorganisms are extraordinary little creatures.

That said, vermiculture is also great, and one of the nice things about it is that you can make it inside an apartment like in a container in your closet, while compost is made outside and needs at least 1 cubic meter of material. If I couldn't make compost I'd make worm castings via vermiculture, and I wouldn't worry too much about pathogens.
Here's a solution for $60/year, plus the cost of whatever budget Android device you want or have on hand:

A year of unlimited talk/text from Liberty Wireless (a T-Mobile MVNO) costs $60.^1 Then, use call barring/do not disturb to disable incoming calls and USSD codes^2 to turn off call forwarding. You now have a phone number that effectively only supports SMS.

I'd also recommend going with this plan if you are addicted to the Internet and just want a phone, but don't want to pay through the nose for something like the Punkt^3.

As far as only using SMS, sending/forwarding emails through SMS is doable (for now), so if your people's comms can be converted to email, you can use SMS for those as well.

Unfortunately, the naive solution of sending outgoing mail requires MMS (and therefore data), but you can send SMS to a Google Voice number, for example, which can be set up to forward a copy of the message to an email, which can then be used for triggering control events locally. YMMV.

Phased array antennas have very high scatter compared to classical antennas of a similar size, Because they scatter in lobes.

50m^2 is quite small. There is no reasonable way of knowing where your target will be across a wall.

Oh, Apple stores will waive the deductible if you ask. They don't even try to charge it if your device was originally sold in the EU.

I've replaced two iphones in the past month, didn't pay a deductible for either.

If you break your phone more than twice a year, a regular phone case probably isn't going to cut it.

>I'm guessing you could get a third party screen repair for less than $230.

Yes, but not 4 third party screen repairs and definitely not even one replacement phone. I've had two total losses in my 2 year applecare period, once the phone was damaged on both sides by a police baton and once by a falling dumbbell. A normal phone case wouldn't have been enough in either of these situations.

Can vouch for the monochromatic UI, a friend put me onto this. More details here: https://betterhumans.pub/how-to-make-your-iphone-black-and-w...

At the core of it, the very core of it, tech is waged work. Just like in manufacturing, which was outsourced quite prolifically. Tech isn't special in this regard.

The thing that hasn't come about yet though is, sales, marketing, accounting can also be outsourced. Dare I say automated. It is at the end of the day, still waged work. Marketing is not an asset class. Accounting isn't capital ownership. Fabrication is a tool, tech is a tool, social media is a tool.

The moment that this sort of stuff gets automated there will be a reckoning on how businesses are built in western society. I don't mean a saleforce competitor with a slicker UI, I mean completely abstracting away payroll and the like.

Imagine for a moment:

You could say to anyone, "I like the work you do want to work for me?" either in person, online, even here. They say yes. Now suddenly a pipeline process kicks off, like a CICD for recruitment. You have your budget metrics all in place, the receiver has their negotiation asks, etc. And AI hashes out a negotiation, in browser or on your phones etc. comes up with a negotiation contract, highlights the important bits or deal breakers that need a higher level sign off. "Click 'Yes' to work." Done. Hired. Here's your onboarding package and account credentials, your paycheck comes in at the end of the month.

All the while, the two people at the table or on twitter have just been continuing on with their lives. Nobody talked to HR. Nobody had to manually do filings with the IRS. The business owner never opened a dashboard or logged in to their negotiation.ai account. It is not this easy at the moment. But no rule of physics says it can't be in the future.

Entire classes of work could crumble while people could create in a much more competitive manner.

I would have loved to listen to this conversation, but unfortunately, I come from a working-class background in the UK, and as such, I don't know anyone who would have a Clubhouse invite to give me. I'm not trying to make any assumptions about your background here, and I'm sure there are many people on Clubhouse who come from un-privileged backfrounds, but perhaps the intimacy of the environment comes from being surrounded by people who come from a similar place (i.e: Ivy League colleges, Silicon Valley companies) due to the exclusivity Clubhouse has imposed.

Big farm operations create damage in so many fronts. First, they extract a large portion of the profits from farming, making Wall Street very rich and leaving the rural population poor (this is true if the farming is done in America or in other countries). As a result, this takes land from the population to the hands big companies, with bad political results. Finally, the methods are bad for the environment too, because Wall Street fat cats don't have to live in the devastated environment.
