Why should the rest of Oregon change to satisfy voters of a non-binding resolution?

They can get a Uhaul and go.

Why bother putting real costs on the state to appease people with freedom of agency already?
Interesting. Out of curiosity, I just tried to register with one of my personal .us domains (g suite) and one of my work .com domains (fastmail) and both worked fine. Maybe they changed their validation after you submitted your case!
Not so much on the famine bit, except perhaps in the U.S. and Canada.

The unfairness of farm subsidies is that there’s also essentially no _controls_ on the output. The government can’t turn around and mandate particular growing practices, in part because farming companies and larger farmers have gotten used to the subsidies and how they work.

In Canada, at least, subsidies are also tied to production controls and standards.

Don’t get me wrong: I am in _favour_ of most farm subsidies; there is a lot of benefit to it. But the taxpayer should get a bit more control on what’s being spent on. IMO, small farm subsidies should probably increase so that more people have opportunities to work the land if they wish to do so and pay their seasonal workers a living wage so that they don’t have to use undocumented workers. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to see a couple of F35 fighters scrapped in favour of fair farm wage payments.
"My thinking was that learning how to navigate and contribute to a large complex codebase would be a good way to self-teach in an attempt to transition to a software development role."

Are you planning to skip the step of writing simple, self-contained programs that solve the kinds of problems posed in textbooks? I would suggest doing that first.
Battery powered burshless sliding compound mitre saw (mine is an AEG). So fantastic to have a great quality tool that can do precise cuts every time. I'd also say a nail gun (I just don't own one myself yet). If you have ever nailed above your head or at an angle into a block you are holding you'll understand why a nail gun is a game changer.
Where do you think you got your income from? By standing on the shoulders of everyone before you.

> I'm being forced to pay over half of my income into a ponzi scheme

You are making shit up - where in the world does 50% go towards retirement funds?

Unless you are talking about real estate, which is a Ponzi scheme where children pay some of their ancestors for the privilege to own their own land and a home.
Govt still has that - help desk calls galore. Good / bad news - they usually make phone call password reset easy (given volume) - sometimes you can just give your username and get a new password (we can ignore the security risks in that process).
I always figured it was because:

1. HR/Finance/etc buys and runs a package from 3rd party to meet their desires. This is fine.

2. Their desires include all employees enter in details and navigate forms for themselves, but they have to be approved by their manager. Top level management decision that this is fine.

3. The group specifying requirements is now divorced from the users.

leading to :

4. very little thought given to user experience for vast majority of users.
Are any of these people interested in actually “building great products” anymore?

Whether you agree with them or not (I feel that companies should not take political stances in general), Are there no boundaries between work and personal beliefs? What happened to having your own beliefs and not forcing it on others?
No, money is a necessary evil that leads to somewhat distributed power that is the only reasonable alternative to massive centralization of power that inevitably leads to tyranny.

You're seeing the bad parts of an existing system, and then comparing them to the ideals of an alternative system - which is clearly not fair.

If you want an accurate comparison, compare the state of America right now to other large countries that adopted communism - the USSR, for instance, which killed tens of millions of people.
The million dollar unanswered question here is: who is benefitting from the deadlock over KVM specifications becoming Frozen?
I've been using an aeropress for years now. Not espresso, but makes a good coffee.

I went on a bit of a thing collecting manual brewers. I've got stove top vacuum pots, a french press, a delter press and a couple of coffee siphons (which are awesome because they make you feel like a mad scientist) but for ease of use and cleanup when making a single coffee, the aeropress beats them all.
One could, but then one would give up the advantages of a relaxed memory model.
I literally yesterday had to buy my first iphone since the 3G because my wife bought some BLE hardware for her work that won't work properly with her Pixel 3. (It's a set of 12 devices and the Pixel can only connect to six at a time). The manufacturer won't even list Android devices they claim to have tested it with.
I’d love to have the time (and ability!) to do this level of digging. Amazing write up to, very well presented.
I agree. I have to move back to the bay area and am scared to death about what they are teaching children there. We'll probably homeschool. I couldn't imagine how much worse it would be if they had their own school system.
Great work, thanks for sharing! Systems performance at its best. Nice to see the use of the custom palette.map (I forget to do that myself and I often end up hacking in highlights in the Perl code.)

BTW, those disconnected kernel stacks can probably be reconnected with the user stacks by switching out the libc for one with frame pointers; e.g., the new libc6-prof package.
It is an entirely crazy proposition. A single physics course is approximately 50 hours of instruction. You have to take about 20 of those. You can't squeeze that down 30x with no loss of resolution.

Again, in your example, you're suggesting you can learn all of the physics one would normally learn in four years of almost-full-time study in six months of part-time study.

It's just not happening. Physics is hard.

>It's a division-by-zero

There's an old joke about black holes being where god divided by zero. Since god can do all things, dividing by zero is not impossible. Once we can comprehend how dividing by zero is possible, the mysteries of black holes will be revealed.
If the arrangement is mutually beneficial to Oregon, the "nobodies" and Idaho is on board then why not? Just to spite the nobodies?
That implies that Idaho has the money to build a deepwater port and connecting infrastructure that currently doesn’t exist. And there’s not really any particular benefit since there is free movement of goods in the US; customs fees are not a state level thing to begin with.
Military protection, as well as streets, side walks, fire and schools, are all free service given to non-taxpayers. And everybody is subject to the draft, yet only taxpayers actually pay for the military and its weapons.

I think that's a fair trade.
From a 2001 issue of Scientific American, If Humans Were Built to Last: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12096406_If_Humans_...

(That 13-year-old me read at the time when I stumbled across it in my grandfather's study.)
> and the breeder had (nearly) her own highway exit

This is the key assumption on which your statements are based on. How do you know the state built it for her, rather than, she built her house next to the highway exit? I find it hard to believe that the state would build a highway exit specifically for a few normal individuals.
I despair at writing C code where the compiler won't silently surprise me. How are we supposed to learn all these subtle rules and intuit when to apply them without making any mistakes?
So Michigan is denying a high school diploma to anyone who is unable to learn a foreign language? Sounds like a great way to increase the dropout rate and doom hundreds of thousands to a life of poverty. This looks like someone in academia for far too long has decided that it would be really neat if everyone was able to speak multiple languages and if they don't, well, they can go live in an alleyway and beg for passersby for change. The consequences of lowering the graduation rate, especially amongst the already disadvantaged, cannot be emphasized enough. This is absolutely deplorable.
If you run the numbers on trying to run an AR arcade, you'll find the cost of cleaning, sorting, handing out, putting away, and teaching clueless people to use the goggles for the first time are far more time, labor, and dollar expensive than you expect. It's surprisingly difficult to run the numbers in ways that make it even a remotely good business to open.
I don’t think the founding fathers really understood how much the population of the states would diverge over the years.
It’s not that the laws could not enable this, but none do.

They have free agency. Why would the state reshape itself to satisfy people who are prisoners to their own psychosis alone?
Flow sounds really cool, a multi threaded browser engine. Most modern ones are forked from KHTML, an engine designed in the 90's before multi threading was possible for consumer computers.

They only have 8 developers on the team. I wish them well, but what do they have to offer that vendors and consumers really need? Do people really complain about Chromium being too slow? I wouldn't imagine, if most of the users on the web are using it. Then again I don't know about the niche mysterious world of elite internet browsing.
Does anyone know what it's called in India, in any Indian language. I ask since it looks like it's native to India but I'd never heard of long pepper before this article and now I'm intrigued..
Yea, we learned that in highschool as well, too bad not everyone frequented this forum was afforded the privilege of going to a poorly funded public school in the inner city. Indeed facts about anuses where surprisingly easy to come by.
There was sort-of a 16-bit revolution--it wasn't connected to the 8-bit one. The 68k systems were 16-bit hardware with all new/different operating systems. It was much later we got 68020 32-bit hardware. The IBM PC/AT was 16-bit hardware following the 8-bit 8088 PC. That got us to DOS/16M and Windows/286 and OS/2 v1.3 (good times). On the fun side we got the 16-bit wave of consoles. It was all very semi-business though--I really missed the 8-bit days all through this period. The best times were probably on the Amiga in EU.
That tiny room was probably the most risky thing you did.
> I'm not following what you mean by this, even after reading your example.

It's not a coherent thought - it's socialist ideal that ignores the fact that power leads to corruption, and socialism and planned economies necessarily lead to more concentration of power than a free-market economy, not less.

...and you're suspicions are absolutely correct - if there was a lifestyle planning algorithm, you would absolutely not be able to see the insides or dispute the results, just like the citizens of the USSR.
> Imports are already subject to tariffs precisely to protect farmers.

I think you got these backwards. Subsidies are provided because other countries imposes tariffs on US farm products.

I'd argue that isn't devil's advocate — rather it's pretty much spot on. Being restrained in the face of influence isn't the norm. The default state of the Human On The Internet to be certain of our own opinions and want to shove them in front of everyone who will listen.

The Cyclone Life Cycle the Polar Front Theory of Atmospheric Circulation (1922) [pdf]
Sure, but they're not breakthrough names like Carmack & a few others, and are unlikely to be known by anyone not familiar with those particular games.

Carmack on the other hand is completely unavoidable if you even casually tune in to gaming news. I've never player a Doom game, but I know who Carmack is. In contrast, I've played 200+ hours of Factorio, and had no idea what the names of the developers were.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it takes much more than a breakout hit from indie devs to thrust them to Carmack levels of fame.

Part of it is likely due to technology changes. A big part of Carmack's fame initially stemmed not only from having a wildly popular game, but having done things with hardware that were practically magical at the time. The use of Binary Space Partitioning-- a not very well known technique for rendering that had, to my knowledge, never been used in videogames before was used by Carmack because he could not only program, he rises above the level of programmer to computer scientist. Many people study computer science in college or bootcamps, but most simply become programmers.

Compare that to today's game dev ecosystem: Even indies are typically using a variety of middleware and off-the shelf software to build there game. There is both less room and less need for the type of hackery of the Carmack era (which wasn't unique just to Carmack). These days if you want your game to do something more computationally intensive, you just do it, and up the minimum reqs from a gtx 950 to a gtx 960.

I think this is why the closes thing to the level of celebrity of a single dev we've had in a while is Notch w/ Minecraft. He didn't get there by pushing the boundaries of hardware to make something previously not possible, he simply put in long years of iterative design that results in a unique breakthrough hit that appealed to hugely different audiences. If we're looking for future celebrity devs, that's the sort I would expect, and they seem much more rare.
For about 10 months my home router has been a Pi4 running Ubuntu 20.04. I use a realtek based USB 3.0 to gigabit Ethernet adapter. With the Pi4 overclocked to 2Ghz I get around 930Mbs. The router is located inside a distribution panel in an unconditioned garage. It has been rock solid with only a $10 generic case with fan ordered off eBay to protect it.
I literally just cited data upthread.

Robberies SF - 344 per 100K. Lafayette 11 per 100K.

You are 31!! times more likely to be robbed in a day in SF than in Lafayette. This assumes reporting is equal - in general studies show once crime is up reporting goes WAY down.

The difference in crime rates between urban and suburban is relatively well known. I also linked to articles discussing increase in murder in SF.

Is there something more you want?

Is the question about year over year crime in SF itself?
Check witecutter’s video on it. They basically say to use a convection oven instead.

Expecting programmers to evaluate their own cleverness does not work. Every nontrivial C program has undefined behaviour, making it a security flaw waiting to happen - I've been in these kind of debates where a C advocate will claim that program X is correct, and literally every time it turns out that program X has undefined behaviour somewhere.

The point of all of that hashing is to guarantee that transactions can’t be reversed (finality). A blockchain is a directed graph, for it to be a single irreversible source of truth, some mechanism has to force it to have a linear topology. Your ideas are interesting, but I can’t see how any of your examples could be used to achieve that topology.

Also, the “POUW” examples you have are incredibly slow, developing codecs is going to take at least days, more likely weeks, months, or even years, meanwhile users will have transactions that need to be settled.

You mentioned CO2 in your statement about disliking cryptocurrencies but there are many currencies that do not utilize proof-of-work, instead using other schemes (e.g. proof-of-stake), I’m curious if you dislike those as well.
Greek and/or Latin will get you to "schoolbook English" grammar... which was deliberately designed to make learning Greek and Latin easier, and has only a distant relationship to the actual grammar of English.

In Phoenix, Million-Dollar Homes Can’t Sell Fast Enough
My cofounder and I started RiffWare in 2004 with our eyes set on BREW. Carrier billing was the reason... and if you made it onto the carrier store, you did well. So many great stories.

We didn’t have experience in games, so our thesis was to make the dumb phones ‘start.’ We actually have quite a few ‘firsts’ (to our knowledge) and ended up with several of our own apps in the Best Sellers list on Verizon.

We were responsible for the first BREw certified app to use the camera (for bar code reading) via a consulting gig.

We launched a Guitar Tuner that was actually quite high quality despite the cheap hardware. It quickly became a best seller and shocked the Verizon rep when people would buy it for $25.

We also launched a Do Not Disturb app that was fantastic. We tried to port that to the iPhone in 2010 but Apple wouldn’t allow it.

I am convinced we were also the very first people to honestly lose and recover a phone using tower based location services while testing a new app we called Secure Phone. Verizon wouldn’t launch that app though because they were concerned about privacy. 2 years later that was a moot point.

Another fun fact about that, Sam Altman launched Loopt during that time. I asked him how the heck he got Verizon to approve it... ‘board member’ was his answer. Smart money for the win.

Not a bad run for a small group of indie developers with no backing. Great memories.

While theoretically that would be an interesting hypothesis (even though the disabled humans started to get treated decently only recently and only in well-developed countries, so that puts serious limitations on "we" like "we" != "human race"), the decent treatment of disabled ants isn't known:

https://theconversation.com/these-ants-have-evolved-a-comple...

"There seems to be a threshold for rescue. Wounded ants on the battlefield are triaged carefully by their comrades. Ones with one or two legs missing are often rescued, but the severely injured are seldom retrieved. The ants do not seem to be counting legs directly, instead badly damaged ants may not be able to adopt the correct position for battlefield rescue. And even if they can get back home, severely injured ants are removed from the nest, cast out to their doom."
The business about mapping from PyPI to system dependencies is an important one, and (having not read the entire thread) I do hope that gets some attention— it's particularly curious that it's been this long and it hasn't, given Python's often-role as a glue language.

Another example of an ecosystem maintaining mappings out to system packages is ROS and rosdep:

https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/blob/master/rosdep/base.yam...

Now it's interesting because ROS is primarily concerned with supplying a sane build-from-source story, so much of what's in the rosdep "database" is the xxxx-dev packages, but in the case of wheels, it would be more about binary dependencies, and those are auto-discoverable with ldd, shlibdeps, and the like. In Debian (and I assume other distros), the binary so packages are literally the library soname + abi versions, so if you have ldd output, you have the list of exactly what to install.

Maybe one interesting "social" piece to including this kind of functionality would be what the behaviour of pip would become. Like, would it a) go back to needing to be invoked as root and call through to the system package manager, b) emit the command needed for the user to install the required system packages, or c) download the system packages itself, extract the libraries, and insert them into its non-root-owned virtualenv or whatever other environment?
Facebook loses last-ditch attempt to derail DPC decision on its EU-US data flows
Yes, that is a more neutral term, for the reason you mention—but only if it is used where strictly accurate, and not as an exaggeration to score rhetorical points. When I looked yesterday, it wasn't clear to me what's actually being proposed at the site the GP was linking to. If it really is a proposal for involuntary confinement, then the word internment seems justified, otherwise surely not.

As it happens, I purchased the only two pieces of technology that I actually like in the past two years.

The first is the ReMarkable 2[1]. While imperfect (not open-source, support is atrocious), its utility is so high that it more than makes up for it - it actually behaves like electronic paper, and is better than real paper for my use-cases.

The second is a Dactyl-Manuform that a friend built and sold to me. It's one of the best ergonomic keyboards in existence, with the only others even able to challenge it are the Squeezebox[3] and the WARP[4]. Seriously, the DM makes almost every other "ergonomic" keyboard look like a joke, and it's physically pleasurable to type on.
