The rental is fine for one offs, but if you're constantly doing home improvement projects or have a hobby that requires this sort of trip, then you're doubling the trips you make to the supply store.

Also, HD is not the only place I buy supplies. Sometimes I drive an hour one way to get supplies at a rate _far_ better than HD.
Thank you.

I'm only a layman who likes to do the occasional thought experiment, but does time really have to be an objective (concrete and elastic and traversable) dimension to explain time dilation? Isn't there any alternative explanation?

For example, to illustrate what I mean, let's think about time dilation:

Particles moving at relativistic speeds must by necessity travel larger distances (space) as they move: something moving at ~ 299 km/s moves obviously 299 km in a second, whereas something moving at 1 m/s would have moved only 1 meter. Presumably things like fields and other force carriers, which make matter interact with matter etc. will also have to travel larger distances to interact. They have to cover the distance between the particle(s) moving together as well as the parts of the universe which aren't moving as fast.

This way, in the outside observer's frame (=the one with the clock), these fast-moving particles seem to "slow down" because the things facilitating interaction are travelling larger distances, which takes a longer "time" (=more ticks of the observer's clock). And thus the half-life becomes longer.

Now, one can follow-up this thought experiment: what if there was an Ant-Man in a tiny space ship looking at his wall clock and moving at relativistic speed? The Ant-Man would not spot differences in himself, in his frame, since his clock and bodily processes and matter-matter interactions etc. would run slower too. However, the Ant-Man would see the outside world slowing down (I think), since travelling larger distances takes a longer time. When Ant-Man brakes, his experience would be for the outside world to accelerate (I think) possibly in some kind of a jumbled manner towards the end, and then "lock" into place.

And as Ant-Man's chemical reactions and matter interactions slowed down, moving at relativistic speeds resulted in him having "aged" less compared with people who were stationary.

Some conspiracy theorists would like to disagree that the earth is round, that does not give any credence to their argument.
One thing I've noticed from doing WFH all this time during the pandemic is that I started noticing the inefficiencies of burning gasoline to move a one ton piece of metal to some store and do some minor thing like mail a package or buy some small items.
I prefer freedom from a global mafia that openly worships lucifer, aka the masons ...does it alarm you that 90% of police in the UK are Masons and their bosses worship lucifer?Does it bother you that 200 countries are closed down for a the corona virus with the pretext of covi.d..."Certificate of Vacunation ID" which has never even been isolated or seperated in a lab...ie does not exist.Oh no I cant even say that can, the sheep might wake up and hate so desperately wants to put their DARPA nanotechnology o sorry vacccccine into the blind and lost.The zombies who think the bible is irrelevant and the gov and tv are the forces that created the heaven and earth.This planet is drowning in conspiracy and we need crypto to breathe and be free.Those of you who talk like the government is some kind of god and we can not be against are sick in the head or soul.The government is a group of humans they are not sacred.
The idea that some small elite controls crypto is a baseless argument, it is individual people who have the ability to live and control their resources on this earth in the middle of a massive enslaving conspiracy to literally change the dna code of the entire human race with their gene therapy disguised as a vax.I will be surprised if this comment stays up, in this world there is no space allowed for those who are awake.This world is a lie controlled by possessed people and the end is coming 7 years after they deceive you with their ufo technology.Pray to god to receive the holy spirit you can be saved..Pray

Dear GOD I pray that you will forgive me of my sins send the holy spirit to live inside me, save me from my demons and the sin that lives in me, make me new as you want me to be and make me a born again christian.I pray this in Jesus name Amen

I'm curious as to what you mean? People in America at least are well known to be very angry about property crime. Look at NIMBYism as well.
This comment reminds me of a Mac menubar app I once saw that had an interesting story behind it (which I only remember vaguely): the author lived in a Middle Eastern city with shoddy power delivery that municipal power cuts off a lot. "The market" has a solution in that there are people in the neighborhood who own generators and rent out connections to it so you could just run down stairs, and rewire your apartment's power to that generator. I don't even remember what the app does, a quick google gives me an iPhone app that has a schedule for your neighborhood, and mentioning the city as Beirut:

https://archive.is/qrZZr

> Sam says he doesn't buy backup juice for his apartment, which he rented last spring. Somewhere along the electrical wires cast like nets across the city, a bootlegged electrical line running from a generator was spliced in his favor: A single “magic” outlet powers his wireless router during outages. It’s one thing to be kept from doing your laundry, and another thing entirely to be kept from your friends or family. Besides, tracking down the generator owner responsible for this one outlet would be a journey of more than 1,001 nights. In the city of Beirut alone, there are roughly 12,000 generators and their owners. Though it is technically illegal, regulators have a hard time squashing the network, which has grown to cover most of the country. Officials aren’t so much paid off to look the other way; they’re paid because, it is said, they own some of the generators.
Some searching tells me 1 to 5 years is considered normal.
Thanking them for doing their jobs was sarcasm. The chicken tax existed for decades and small pickups were fine though I'm no fan of it in principal.
Money seems to be more valuable to people than something that might kill them. I guess if death isn't staring you right in the face you become complacent.
> Does 'proof-of-stake' need to be 'bootstrapped' by a period of 'proof-of-work'?

I think it's optimal if they do, because proof-of-work is more fair in the beginning, so it's easier to do a fair distribution launch with PoW. With Proof-of-stake, I've never seen a network launch that didn't result in a cartel.

PoW algos adjust difficulty based on how much hash power is in the network. So you could do this, but people would see it and react to the demand plus you'd also have to sell most of the mined coin in order to cover your electricity costs.
There's a sort of category problem underlying what you're saying though, perhaps fueled by the fact that ARM has more of a mix-and-match thing going on than Intel chips do.

aarch64 isn't really an equivalent category to x64, because it describes only one portion of the whole ARMv8 spec. ARMv8 still includes the 32-bit instructions and the Thumb. I realize you did mention Thumb, but you incorrectly indicated that it doesn't appear at all in ARMv8. As a counterexample, Apple's first 64-bit chip, the A7, supports all three instruction sets. This was how the iPhone 5S, which had an ARMv8 CPU, was able to natively run software that had been compiled for the ARMv7-based iPhone 5.

A better analogue to aarch64 would be just the long mode portion of x64. The tricky thing is that ARM chips are allowed to drop support for the 32-bit portions of ISA, as Apple did a few years later with A11. Like leeter said in the sibling post, though, x64 chip manufacturers don't necessarily have the option to drop support for legacy mode or real mode.

I think that's a fairly important distinction to make for the purposes of this discussion. I wasn't ever really talking about just aarch64; I was talking about all of ARM.
You don't need to wonder, we have the Icelandic sagas that describe such a society. I especially recommend Hrafnkell's saga.
> Last I checked performance was better than node.

I don't know if there's any real world node application that is faster on GraalJS, no matter how much "warming up." It is incredibly slow. I understand there's marketing copy out there saying stuff to the contrary, but really, if it was that great, people would be using it. Which I'm confident people don't, because real world applications use tons of the node API that Graal doesn't support, like `setTimeout`.
"Do nothing"?

No curated/moderated/policed App Store?

No storage/distribution network for applications?

No vetted and trusted secure authentication and payment systems?

No meticulously-created hardware in the first place?

Yep, that sounds about right. They're just "doing nothing" and don't deserve to be able to run their businesses while other people build on top of their platforms.

Same here but only in elementary school. At least back in 2004. We moved from Logo -> QBasic -> Visual Basic -> HTML -> Java -> C before graduating high school.
Logo was my second programming language after basic when I was around 9 years old. I did not have access to much lego in my country but agree that it is a very good way to stimulate young minds. My son’s just 3yo and since he was about 2 we started playing with lego blocks, at the beginning large ones then moved onto regular legos. I am very reluctant to introduce him to the digital world and will delay that for as long as possible. Instead I will be buying phisical kits, puzzles and games for him and let him explore this way. Luckily he’s not into action figures and weapon toys.

I'm all for arguments in favor of accessibility. That being said, this article is the exact opposite of how to get many people (like me) on your side.

> accessibility is literally your job. If you ignore it, you’re just a hobbyist.

ah yes, of all the issues and features on the list, this is the one that defines whether or not I'm doing my job.

Point being, I don't think an article like this actually makes accessibility more of a concern overall... but who knows? Maybe people are more responsive to this than would be intuitive to me.
So? They say whatever they want.

Also, they think anonymous unelected people running cryptocurrencies will somehow be more transparent?
> Sure, the C standard doesn't define what write(2)'s effects will be, but that does not mean that calling it is UB according to the standard.

Yes, it does. I already explained exactly why it needs to be UB, but let me quote where the standard says so:

C99 6.9 External definitions:

> Semantics:

> An external definition is an external declaration that is also a definition of a function (other than an inline definition) or an object. If an identifier declared with external linkage is used in an expression (other than as part of the operand of a sizeof operator whose result is an integer constant), somewhere in the entire program there shall be exactly one external definition for the identifier; otherwise, there shall be no more than one.

If your program provides a declaration of write() and uses it without also providing a definition, the program does not have "exactly one external definition for the identifier", it has zero definitions for the identifier. This violates a "shall" that appears outside of a constraint, for which we turn to:

C99 4 Conformance:

> If a "shall" or "shall not" requirement that appears outside of a constraint is violated, the behavior is undefined.
Proponents of cryptocurrency will claim that the network effects of a given currency add to the perceived value. There are also differences in implementations between the cryptocurrencies where each has differing properties.

Critics claim that cryptocurrencies are valued under the greater fool paradigm. A speculator buys a cryptocurrency with the intention of selling it on to the 'greater fool'.

There are regulatory barriers erected around traditional payment processing to consider. As not all cryptocurrency transactions are subject to these regulations, they offer a discount. Cryptocurrencies offer a medium for those unable to transact by other means.
Gotta keep the plebs scared or they may start asking questions...
In US all cryptocurrencies are treated as commodities and regulated by Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act but when Ethereum switches to Proof of Stake they will be regulated as security by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all "stake" holders will need to register their stakes and comply with the laws that govern the Securities Industry[1].

Under the US law "security" is "The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement etc."[2]

Ethereum falls under this since it is "profit-sharing agreement", it is an investment(stake) which allows other investors(stakeholders) to profit off of that owned security.

Proof of stake cryptocurrency allows stakeholders to profit by holding their coins(stake) and if they do not comply with all aforementioned security laws(reporting, market controls etc.) all their coins(stake) can be seized and Etherum can be shut down by SEC as an unregistered security.

Note that this weakness was discovered early on. Bitcoin actually uses a sum of difficulty, not longest chain. You can't just mine more 1 difficulty blocks. But your point stands, if the US Government is mining bitcoin it is plausible that they could invalidate the entire chain.

I don't see everyone going with that chain.
Sure they do. They provide the devices that enable this TSMC should get the lion's share of the cut since they make all the chips to allow every part of the operation
Dominant market power is maintained by having control of information in a market. Google has control on the information about advertising and user searches that competitors don't. Amazon uses comprehensive sales data that others don't. Apple uses its power to enforce ignorance of competition to its customers.

Hm, I think this misquote says all there is to say about the reasoning in this blog.

Apple built their business on the capitalist platform of this country. If the other businesses and people in this country decide that Apple is doing wrong then we will basically flip that right on its lid.

It's up to the courts now. Apple is getting attacked from many different angles and they'll definitely lose some degree of control eventually.
Because it's the sort of mentality America was founded on. Not trying to be political, though I'm sure this can be an unpleasant topic. A couple hundred years of, "you're responsible for defending your land and it's your right to defend it," has fascinating and, often, disastrous outcomes.
the value of [mathematical] language is not only communication, but also reasoning. It is remarkable, and sometimes unfortunate, how much mathematical reasoning you can do without knowing what you're doing, by pattern matching. Notation doesn't just allow you to communicate. It also allows you to manipulate e.g. truths that you know into truths that you do not yet know. In doing this abstract manipulation, you postpone (when necessary, and hopefully not indefinitely) thinking about semantics, while acting only syntactically.

A lot of people say something like "math is a universal language", and it sounds like we both agree that's nonsense. But I think we disagree on the extent to which math is a natural language. Your comment does not, in my opinion, recognize the symbolic manipulation (which doesn't have to be mostly-linear sequences of symbols, but can be e.g. diagrams too) that make math math.
I can see this being a contentious choice, but government agencies worldwide have been trying and openly talking about public health "nudge" methods for a long time now with varying degrees of success.

I’ve been working as a dev for 22 years, and have yet to be asked whether I went to college. Which I didn’t.
I get safety alerts from Nextdoor for my neighborhood. Even then over half of the alerts are misleading/inaccurate interpretations of people's paranoid biases. For example the other day somebody posted a Ring video of a "dangerous man" knocking on neighbor's doors. I recognized the person right away as a pest control representative that was at my house just the day before. Turns out the person posting the alert never answered the door and apparently didn't see the pest control logo on the man's shirt and hat. How they came to the conclusion that someone was "dangerous" based on zero interaction is not only negligent but interestingly is in itself dangerous. Taking that up a notch to vigilantism is a horrible idea and will lead to Ahmaud Arbery types of situations on a much wider scale.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. "For alignment, can you provide the salary range for this position?" If they hedge, just tell them you want to make sure we're not waisting time.
I have a supercab and I am happy that I have the 6.5' bed to go with it, I can lay 4'x8' sheets flat with the tailgate down. Combined with a backrack/hitch extender I can get 16' long lumber.

The backseat is passable with my dog and kids, but barely. If they were able to take some room from the front where there is no engine and give me both a reasonable bed and a crew cab I would be happy.

A lockable frunk is pretty attractive though so that you don't have to worry about leaving tools in the bed.

The Federation as depicted only looks like a utopia if you are easily pacified and lack ambition. Those with goals are lured into academia or Starfleet. However, they still won't give you big replicators. And genetic engineering, well ... if you stop and think about it, they have a secret group of genetic engineers designed to make cross-species hybrids happen, without getting too close to the prohibitions left behind by the Eugenics Wars.

Want land of your own? Umm ... What about starting off on your own planet? Ask the Maquis how well that worked out.

And of course you don't get to wirehead it. They'll pry you out of the holodeck whether you like it or not, even if you do your best work there.

It's more that people prioritize incentives for objective "A" and are totally surprised when it comes at some cost to "lesser" objective "B." In this case, being "environmentally friendly" vs being "safe."

I think a lot of "environmentally conscious" people don't realize that more and more of these types of environmental regulations will come at some direct cost in terms human-safety.

And also that a surprising number of politicians/activists/people are so committed to the dogma that they don't have any problem with that.

I did it after my first job. It was a break of about a year and I spent the first 5 months just backpacking around and climbing mountains.

I enjoyed being off grid with even my smartphone mostly off and being used just as a camera. It just felt very relaxing and I was in the best of my mental state then. I got the chance to meet a lot of new people from different backgrounds and just have different experiences in different places.

I didn't regret it a bit but after a while I kind of started missing my computer as well, because I do really enjoy building stuff as well. So after five months, I started working on some ideas I had, sadly they didn't pan out and I joined a new job in some time after doing 2-3 weeks of interview preparation. In total, it was a break of about a year.

Since I mostly used to stay in hostels, tents and was mostly on foot or cycle, it wasn't expensive. But if you are used to a paycheck, it seems weird when you have to take money out of your investments. So, you start thinking about your long term savings after a while.

I am not sure what you meant by preparing, I didn't have an exact plan or budget. I just had some mental estimate of the rough expenditure and how much of my savings I was willing to burn.

It totally depends on you but if I do it again; I would plan it a bit upfront(at least the major checkpoints) and would keep my break between 3-6 months.
