I think social media makes us feel bad. I have personally reduced my consumption of it. Frankly, if you think about it, the best time to post on LinkedIn is when you are ready to make a career move (due to being unhappy with your current gig). Also, some people are really good at selling themselves, and this may not match reality.

This is FOMO .. and it is what it is. We defn need better resources as a society to cope with it. Defn agree with the other poster who said seek help (and don't worry about any stigma). Or just go for a walk, watch some TV and stress out less. I play video games or engage in a hobby or just relax watching documentaries.
Brendan has "made more bank" since then than he could have made in that one suit or since that suit if he'd filed it. Brendan's a pretty big shot nowadays and is almost certainly very well compensated, but when you demonstrate that you're too happy to sue you tend to get discriminated against, so if he had sued... it might have ended his career.
> What does matter is that if you were to fire up an old Macintosh from the 1980s (or even 1990s) today you’d find the interface to be surprisingly familiar but you’d be stuck asking: OK but does it… do anything?

Followed by:

> Twitter, Instagram [...] iMessages and Slack [...]
URLs and meme gifs [...] Photos from the phone [...] Video clips of toddler nieces

Among all those 8 things of one kind, only 2 things of another kind:

Never mind the old 80s/90s UI: Does he ever "… do anything?"

And finally:

> The whole thing with the piles and piles of windows open all the time has never been a frictionless experience. But now sharing your screen for a meeting is commonplace. Everyone gets to look at your messy desktop. Or you have to tidy it up real quick before the meeting.

Which harks back to, from the beginning:

> How many browser windows do you have open right now? (I have 37 windows open, with some 75+ tabs.) Email, calendar, cloud document collaboration, Twitter, Instagram — are mostly or all in the browser. What else? iMessages and Slack are apps that require the internet to do anything at all. None of this stuff existed in 1985.

And almost none of it seems to have anything to do with getting any actual work done… But, anyway, to tie this back to that last paragraph: A measly 75 tabs? YTF do you have them spread over a million windows? That's one, or at most two or three windows' worth of tabs. Just get into the habit of opening something innocuous -- your work calendar, shtuff like that -- pin its tab, and drag it to the left-most position. Then a present-able desktop is just a quick Ctrl-1 away.

Sheesh, darn amateur kids nowadays… Geroffmylawn.

That article is a litany of false talking points that leftists repeat as dogma. Case in point:

> known white supremacist groups such as the Proud Boys

The Proud Boys were headed by a man named Enrique Tarrio [0]. Enrique Tarrio is of Afro-Cuban descent [1]. How many white supremacist organizations are headed by people of Afro-Cuban descent?

And before you suggest that he's a token figurehead, how likely do you think it is that an actual white supremacist would join an organization led by a man of Afro-Cuban descent? Do you think that leader would attract many actual white supremacists? Aren't there plenty of other white supremacist groups led by white men?

No, it's simply not believable. The claim fails. Reuters is willingly participating in a disinformation campaign.

>Apple is doing laps over Intel because -- it seems -- of their choice to use ARM.

AMD processors are essentially equivalent to M1 in performance while still keeping x86, so probably yes (there are an ARM advantage in instruction decoding, but judging by performance differences, it's probably small).

Apple's advantage is mostly that Apple (via TSMC) can use a smaller processor node than Intel and optimize the entire Mac software stack for their processors.

I'm not under that impression, and I sought out the WaPo article itself prior to writing my comment.

I am in general an opponent of modifying primary source material, which is what the WaPo article has become. If these papers want to bash Tom Cotton they are more than welcome to do so, but they should leave the paper trail intact so that people can see the unadulterated trajectory of the discourse and evaluate it accordingly.

Journalists should not afford themselves the privilege of retroactively editing past writings in order to stay on the right side of the zeitgeist. In my mind, even with a note explaining the change, altering the paper trail of the discourse is worse than simply leaving the article intact with no added commentary.

The difference between this and published editions of books is that you don't eradicate past printings of a book when you release a new edition, but when you update a website you typically supplant the prior state.

I don't want to get too fanciful, but imagine buying a copy of Mein Kampf or Uncle Tom's Cabin and finding that the foreword describes significant textual modifications made in light of subsequent social awareness.

> By contrast, the consequences for China will be catastrophic. They will have trouble finding enough food for their citizens, tens of millions of people will lose their jobs, their current account will go negative and their currency will plummet.

This claim is unsubstantiated.

China is a really big country, with a whole lot of natural resources. As this article itself points out, the US imports more from China than we export to them.

The article says that if the US stops trading with China, between 10 and 12 million American workers will be out of a job but will find new jobs as the American economy adapts to sourcing things internally. It then says that tens of millions of Chinese workers will be out of a job... and doesn't conclude that they will find new jobs as the Chinese economy adapts to sourcing things internally. What's different about the two cases?

Also, I might remind you that the consequence of China using enslaving a minority is that they have a bunch of slaves. Not only do they have the resources to rapidly and painfully expand their agricultural capabilities, they'll have the perfect excuse for it.

The problem with dealing with China is not (precisely) hat the Western powers that be think that that what they're doing is okay. It's that we have (through our own past mistakes) put ourselves in a position where we have no meaningful leverage to stop them other than a third world war.

(But also, the average Western politician worried about China isn't worried about genocide, they're worried about losing 5G contracts.)

> I don't get why structured data over pipelines is useful. You can already exchange any kind of data over pipeline as string of bytes.

The Elvish docs have a pretty good answer to this here[0], but I'll give my own answer, too.

There are a few things. Structured pipelines spare you from having to do escaping and transformations in order to preserve structure.[1] It's also a natural complement to a type system. Some other next-gen shells call their structured pipelines ‘typed pipelines’ instead.[2] Structured pipelines also provide a nice mechanism for separating the visual/textual representation of data from its structure, so you can ‘convert’ values between different display formats without doing any parsing, in a convenient, extensible way. PowerShell has this with Format-List[3] and Format-Table[4], for example. This kind of pretty-printing isn't implemented in Elvish yet, but Kurtis Rader helped me outline one possibility in an open GitHub issue.[5]

On some level, structured pipelines just mean that commands ‘native’ to the shell language (builtins and functions written in the shell language) all understand the same types or data structures. This means you can ingest data from some external format (JSON, CSV, TOML, a SQL result, whatever) and then use common tools. Nushell's first example for working with pipelines[6] hints at one of these benefits: you can use a single command, like `inc` to increment the value associated with a certain key in a map, with data that comes from any format, and `inc` doesn't have to know anything about data formats or parsing.

Another way to think about it is that it lets pipelines have the same kind of type checking as functions called with arguments. In a typed language, you get type checking for your arguments when you call a function like

(some_command arg0 (another_command arg1 arg 2))

but in a way, pipelines are an alternative to subshells.[7] If you want passing values through the pipes to be as robust as passing them as arguments, you need structured pipelines.

You're right that if you are using a lot of external commands in a ‘raw’ way, you don't get to take much advantage of the structured pipeline. Imo PowerShell proves that in practice, if you have a big enough library ecosystem, you can leverage wrappers and ‘pure’ tools written in your shell language to get a pretty nice programming experience.

No problem! And thank you for this post! Maybe I should go ahead and hit purchase on Harvey's Logo book series now.

There's also another book called Visual Modeling with Logo: A Structured Approach to Seeing that I've ordered that looks very interesting as well. I was drawn in by the description:

*****

> Filled with striking illustrations, this book offers an exciting exploration of Logo graphics for designers, architects, liberal arts students, and other individuals who are interested in creative applications of computers.

> Visual Modeling with Logo introduces the programming concepts necessary for describing and manipulating some of the basic visual structures in the world around us. Logo is a language that encourages visual problem-solving and helps us expand our understanding of how we see.

> The book provides a wide range of exercises for investigating the many dimensions and component parts of seeing; it proceeds from the simple to the complex, using representative models based on circular grids, rectangular grids, Islamic designs, organic forms, and different spatial systems.

*****

There's a few others books in a similar vain that I've found too: Learning Mathematics and Logo, Investigations in Algebra: An Approach to Using Logo, and Exploring Logo without a Computer. Then of course there's Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics.

I'm a big fan of books that use programming to explore other topics, and it seems Logo generated a lot of books like this. It's my own lofty dream to write my own series like these.

That's less common in Europe (and Berlin specifically). I'm guessing even less so for something like the 12 Pro.
The search shows images now, but none of them are related to Tienanmen. They're generic images of tanks.

> After initially considering several larger systems (Project Sanguine), the U.S. Navy constructed two ELF transmitter facilities...

> Both transmitters were shut down in 2004. The official Navy explanation was that advances in VLF communication systems had made them unnecessary.

I then started reading about VLF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_low_frequency and on that page I see this sentence:

> VLF waves used to communicate with submarines have created an artificial bubble around the Earth that can protect it from solar flares and coronal mass ejections; this occurred through interaction with high-energy radiation particles.

That sounds absolutely weird - how should that "...that can protect it from solar flares..." be interpreted?

Yes, I'm not arguing otherwise.

You're not free to make copies without the license. You are free to make copies with the license, because that's what the license granted you permission to do. You aren't free to do so without preserving the license, because you don't have a license to do that and that's copyright infringement.

You aren't required to publicly release derivative works or their source, simply because the license grants you the ability to produce derivative works (provided you keep the copyright information intact) without publicly releasing them. You are required to keep the copyright information intact, because the license does not grant you permission to produce derivative works if you do not.

The requirement to keep the copyright information attached is simply not connected to your choice to distribute it or not. It's a requirement any time you make a copy or make a derivative work, even if you're only making that copy or derivative work for yourself.

> so long as you're OK to access a system for some purpose, you're fine so far as the CFAA is concerned

This is a pretty gross simplification of the position by the majority. I get it was an example and maybe a bit exaggerated, but wanted to point this out. They even specifically said that you have to have the specific access to the information you are retrieving - the example (paraphrased) was if you have access to folder X, but not folder Y, and you then access folder Y, you are now in violation.

If anything, the minority was basically being, IMO, too trusting that people with the authority to bring these charges would be reasonable and exercise it in an unbiased and even manner.
The problem with calorie counting is that we cannot reason about what a calorie looks like.

what does 1 calorie of ice cream looks like?

What about 1 calorie of broccoli?

1 calorie of steak?

The solution is to switch to a macro focused diet, which still uses calories under the hood.

With Macros you'll get a target of x g fats / y g protein / z g carbs which makes it much easier for a person to learn and reason about the food they are eating by sight and weight.

The second factor is, our much more sedentary lifestyle means that often a 2000 calorie diet is 200-400 calories off or a lot of people.
Past works are one component. Major happenings, fantasy, wishes, emotions, etc play a bigger role overall (historically).

What he did was despicable and a grotesque abuse of his position, but it had nothing to do with hacking.

The prosecutors decided to charge him under the CFAA because the data he sold for money was stored in a computer system. Van Buren accessed data he was authorized to access, using his own perfectly valid credentials. Because of this, the Supreme Court says it is not a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act. They say that a person cannot be charged under the CFAA just because the crime they committed involved a computer.

Gross definitely, but net (after taxes, healthcare, housing and other fixed costs)... not so sure. High CoL - seriously even as someone who lives in Munich, US housing prices are utterly incomprehensible, just how the fuck do y'all even manage to survive?! -, high costs for transportation, the utter madness that is US healthcare, hundreds of dollars for cable TV, having to save for your pension or student loans.

I'd wager that even after accounting for taxes, most Europeans have more money in their pocket than Americans working in the same field.
