As a mathematician, I have yet to encounter a reason as to why I should care about 'constructive mathematics' or 'neutral mathematics'.

Bauer brings up non-Euclidean geometry but the thing there is about 40-ish years into it Beltrami and then Klein started showing why hyperbolic geometry is interesting and important (per Milnor[0]). Constructive mathematics is older than that by now ('Foundations of Constructive Analysis' came out in 1967, and the field was old even then), where are its applications to other fields of math? By 'application' I'm meaning stuff like, for example, how certain isometries of the plane (PSL2(R)) are connected to the Poincare disk.

I'm even less impressed by 'neutral mathematics'. OK, you proved a well-known result without using excluded middle or choice, that's cool, I beat Doom with only the pistol. Tell me why that's not just stunts and gimmickry.

Normally, yes, and as was mentioned higher in the thread this initial figure is referred to as an "anchor," meaning that it has the psychological effect of implying that anything higher than that number is somehow a real concession on the buyer's part, when the reality is that the opening number could have just been higher. It's rather like when a store says "this is normally $500 but now it's on sale for only $250" instead of just pricing something at $250 in the first place. Getting to Yes, also mentioned above, is a useful book on negotiation.
Some older filesystems, like ADFS[1] which I'm familiar with, have a "type" attribute, along with the read/write/execute (etc.) bits, as part of the directory node [2].

On RISC OS, as that page says, a BASIC file has type FFB. I remember a plain text file had type FFF.

I am just waiting to hear back from a customer on a support ticket request where functionality in my app is not working as expected.

They sent me a screenshot of what should be a form in a modal but the modal has failed to load so it has loaded just the form in a new page looking pretty unstyled. The JS for the modal uses fetch() so possibly why it broke.

I'm 95% sure that the browser in the screenshot is IE10. I pointed them to this announcement if only to make them aware of the security risks in running IE10 but it beggars belief that anyone would choose to run IE10, individual or enterprise.
> The real argument...

I would agree with this except for one huge fact that has existed for close to 100 years - poor investors can put their money into options and blow up in a day, but can't put it into private equity.

I'm not ascribing any good or bad intent to the regulators here, but this is so big of a hole that I can't believe this has anything to do with destitution.

For what it's worth, I've seen an actual person do this first hand (options trading), and destroyed their life as a result.

This seems like a dangerous bet to make... my take on the NFT "market" is that it's money laundering, wash trading (inflating prices to attract suckers to the market) and perhaps in a small part conspicuous consumption. Mostly fraudulent... but would you bet against a fraud?

However, if the person you're responding to is correct about their UI it's negligent. The price of an option does not vary only with whether "you think the price will go up". Essentially it's mis-representing an option as a delta trade which it isn't.
The other day I had a website accuse me of using an outdated version of Safari (I was using Firefox version 88).
Don’t ever tell a new company how much you currently make. And if you’re not looking for a new company, you’re selling yourself short. Of course the current company isn’t going to give much; why would they?

Everyone here is talking about it like the company owes you something. They don’t owe you anything. And it goes both ways: you don’t owe them. So get out on the job market and get yourself what you’re worth.
I wouldnt call the Amish objects of tourism, they set up shop where people already are. And it's not them, just their cooking. I don't think anyone thinks about them at all, frankly, outside of that. I remember a while ago there was a fad for prominently Amish branded/built electric heaters, and I thought that was very strange.

Molecular Machines: NanoGear – Mechanics of the Infinitely Small
Operating a datacenter for crypto mining is a bit more than just having suitable GPUs for it.

If you rent out your servers at a fixed price and they can mine crypto on them for a profit, then there is a high chance that your flat-rate pricing is not high enough. They would need to consider their missed earnings from not mining themselves as an opportunity cost of renting out servers instead.
This is an odd summary of antifragile. I would go with an angle that justifies the word. "When building something you don't want to be fragile, it is not sufficient or even wise to go with established antonyms of fragile."
If you can already launder the cryptocurrency you probably don't need the NFTs, so yeah you're probably right they're not worth much.

You're right, it is not a good currency today. In the interim period, BTC is extremely risky, volatile, and not a stable store of value. The value proposition is that:

- People will want to adopt BTC as a mainstream currency in future, for all the reasons I listed earlier

- When BTC is adopted as a mainstream currency, the value of each BTC will be X (in relation to raw materials, manufactured goods, etc)

- Because today's price of BTC is much smaller than X, you stand to make a huge profit if you buy BTC, and it later becomes a mainstream currency

Ie, BTC is a startup that if successful, everyone will want to use in the future. And that makes it a very valuable investment for angels/VCs today

I accidentally discovered this a year ago. I found that listening to the audiobook and reading along with the ePub was a great way to ingest the material even when in a tired state (since the audiobook keeps playing. Having the ePub also meant I could highlight and export my highlights as usual.

I did try this with iOS built-in TTS but found it was worth the effort to find the audiobook when possible.

Chief Nerd Reuben Swartz here. I found it very helpful to stop thinking of "selling", and instead think of "helping".

Plus, stop thinking of "marketing" and start thinking of "teaching".

For example, on the Chalk Rebels page, I have to scroll a ways down to find out what the real deal is. Put the whole "use less chalk" near the top.
I would worry about long term availability.

For that type of project, it might be worth it to write a detailed spec for how the back-end talks to the front-end so in the future it's possible to write a more modern client.

The contents seem much more stupid than the metadata issue. If you're going to claim "ownership" over an arbitrary "thing" pointing to it with metadata is a reasonable method. Its the claiming "ownership" over arbitrary crap that's stupid.

I've had pretty terrible experiences with pulseaudio only a few years ago. As often on Linux I was probably unlucky with hardware support.

More generally I've always been frustrated with Linux audio because in my experience for basic audio playback OSS mostly Just Worked and every single API that came after it was buggier and harder to configure for the simple cases while still usually not good enough for professional use.

One exception was Jack which I like quite a lot, unfortunately it's also not natively supported by a lot of software, and that adds a lot of complications in my experience.

But again, I've been running pulse for about six months now and I haven't had any major issues, so credit where it's due.
Depends on your definition of "highly valuable" - from that time period, there's a very short list of cards worth >$1000, quite a few in the $100-$999 range, and a ton in the >$10 bracket. What they're actually worth depends a lot on the particular printing and what condition they're in.

If you wanted a starting point, Scryfall is a useful tool for looking up cards (though they're missing pricing data for some early cards, presumably due to scarcity of transaction data). Here's something to get you started (cards printed before 2000, sorted by price, displayed as a price list): https://scryfall.com/search?q=unique%3Aprints+sort%3Ausd+dat...
And the vast majority of Oakland is fine. I used an extreme example to demonstrate that the idea that Oakland has worse crime issues than SF is highly dependent on where you happen to be. Oakland is just physically huge, suggesting it has an issue with "crime in general" is myopic and ignores that almost all of it is fine, same as SF.
>And IMHO those benefits far outweigh how much you (or anyone else) wants to stick it to those dirty criminals.

To clarify, I'm explaining why it would be unpopular. I'm not saying I personally agree with it. Please try to not conflate the argument with the person.

Many people aren't great at seeing long term or higher order effects. I'm explaining the immediate visibility problem, where someone is told that more help is provided for criminals than non-criminals. That the long term effects are worth it doesn't work well to convince people whose views are short term. We can see many government problems resulting from prioritizing short term reasoning.

Take the war on drugs. People see drugs, think "I should ban it so my kids won't be hooked on drugs." They don't think of the long term effects of a war on drug, and as a result we have our modern day war on drugs with all the harm it has brought us.
>I can imagine legitimate hypothetical use cases for it. I've just never seen a legitimate actual use case.

I find it somewhat annoying that when I fill out my timecard at the end of the day autocomplete is on the hours field. I never want it to pop up my previous hours worked, that's annoying, I only want to enter the hours I worked today.
There is an "app drawer".
Swipe left from the home screen. Click in the search box.
I hate that they are now trying to force me to use their app instead of the browser. I log in and they throw up a bullshit delay while they “reticulate the splines” and other bogus crap followed by “click here to open in the browser”-—it’s a deliberate waste of time specifically designed to piss me off enough to give in and install the app. Obstinate person I am, this only strengthens my resolve.

Also, slack absolutely sucks at providing a useful repository of previously answered questions. It is only useful for ephemeral chitchat.
We use almost 300x the energy we did in 1800 despite only having 8x as many people. When you order something casually that was manufactured by machines that were manufactured by machines that were manufactured by machines and its shipped across the planet for you to consume that too is energy.

We are nearly 40x as energy intensive per capita as as were just 2 centuries ago. If we rewind the clock to 1400 it becomes harder yet to compare because we actually captured so very little energy.
>Mining crypto under such a cost structure would force other users subsidize your buttcoins. Personally I wouldn't feel too happy about such an income transfer.

The "buttcoins" part or the "income transfer" part? I guess if you have a grudge against crypto users there isn't anything worth arguing. On the other hand in a multitenant situation there's always going to be users using more resources than others, which means the "income transfer" part will always exist.
And that can be managed by proper browser settings at that establishment.

IMO you'd get a lot of mileage from the "Reserved List" or "Vintage Staples" but site is decent for a general price lookup as well.

Feel free to shoot follow-up questions. There are a few cards that went from trash to treasure since you've been out of the game. Lion's Eye Diamond probably the most extreme example, but basically anything on the Reserved List has gone insane in the past few years.

Whether or not it's unsupervised, whether or not it's sexist, it seems that a thumbnail focusing on a person's face rather than their breasts is typically going to be more desirable. Depending on context, of course.

It's a module which extracts data from a source (an API, database, etc..) or pushes data to a destination (warehouse, blob storage, API, etc..).

You don't have to buy cards. In high school people were playing with cards printed at home, and put into card sleeves. I assume no on photoshopped their card to change the stats.
This is really an unhealthy and flawed understanding of what is a necessary part of life. The problem is how to find good people, and the more society downgrades objective measures of excellence, the more people need to rely on personal recommendations. It's not that people wouldn't take a stranger for a job, but when there is a lot of uncertainty, they can't absorb the risk of the stranger not being qualified. So they will always prefer someone they know is qualified over someone who they don't know is qualified but might be better.

The above is as necessary and unsurprising as rain falling to the ground. There is no other way that things can work. Thus the practical advice you can give someone is not only to learn something but to widen their professional network so that there are many people who know they've learned something.

It is the exact same thing in a big bureaucracy. You have to know how to sell yourself, which just means you need to successfully communicate your accomplishments. Too many people do great work, but they don't communicate their accomplishments, and then they are surprised that less qualified people are promoted over them, and they grow cynical or resentful when it is really their failure at communication that has caused the problem. Like many things in life, it's better to be mediocre at two necessary things rather than excellent at one and skipping the other. But no amount of righteous anger about the unfairness of life is going to change the fact that people are not omniscient and that talent is hard for strangers to evaluate.

the one thing that keeps me from using my moonlander is that raising it up / tilting it so i can reduce RSI has resulted in a keyboard that just runs across the desk with every key stroke. I'm still trying to figure out how to resolve this. I think the problem is that my palm rest is so slick it forces me to apply pressure to the keyboard in order to keep my hands from sliding off of it. I may try a little adhesive sand paper on the palm rest as a first effort.
Keep in mind that unhappy customers tend to write angry reviews, and happy customers don’t write anything. Credit card fraud is a big problem. Lots of web sites are shady, borderline illegal, not PCI compliant, and the owners are not familiar with credit card processing procedures like chargebacks and holds. Thus some of the bad reviews, which are really saying “I didn’t understand how this works before I signed up.”

I have worked on and managed a lot of e-commerce sites. If you can open a merchant account with a bank (which is not necessarily easy) you can use any number of processors. Braintree is the one several of my clients use. PayPal owns Braintree but it works separately from PayPal’s credit card offerings.

If you don’t have a merchant bank account you have to use an intermediary like Stripe or PayPal. They use their own merchant account and charge higher fees. I’ve used both and find them about the same, though I think Stripe integration with a web site is a bit simpler. Most of my clients use Stripe and none of them has had serious issues. When I’ve had support issues I got them resolved quickly, though it seems like PayPal has more bureaucracy.
Rock climbing finger strength is almost entirely about pulling. Not pulling yourself up, but resisting falling, so that your legs can lift you up. That can involve a lot of squeezing force, especially with the fingertips.

It's not impossible to find a move where you push out. Perhaps you might do it when wedging your hand into a crack. But even then it's pretty rare; you usually count on your arm to wedge your closed fist.

As the GP said, pushing with your fingertips just isn't very strong. So rock climbers rarely do it.

Indeed, and it's because TCP is not meant to deal with that sort of proxy-ing and framing. HTTP is specifically an L7 protocol and that makes it a good spot to do things like framing and signalling (through headers and such).
