I mean, also, getting a new car is all fun and games for a month, and then you only notices the flaws, and then it’s just your car, and then you’ll need to buy a car of the same expensive class the next time (I saw my in-laws buy a new luxury 7-seater SUV to replace their 7-seater SUV even though their kids have been gone for 10 years and they have zero grand kids, I know the feeling), which ups your spending. It’s much more liberating to know you can get the hell out if you want to because you saved enough money, and it also reduces your stress levels.
Don't really need "Seinfeld money" to do it though. I'm agreeing with the top sub-comment to yours. If you don't have time for 1 hour, should really find a way to do 2.

Well his job is inherently mobile. Living in it seems like a good option.
Laziness being the default means libraries compose better though.

I quite like how Haskell does it now, and reasoning about its performance honestly isn't bad. And that's worn GHC optimizing like crazy (which is actually what makes Haskell performance wonky to think about - not laziness.)
From the teleological viewpoint, the purpose of rain is to become a puddle - or soak into the soil, or rejoin the oceans, etc etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleology

> (from τέλος, telos, 'end', 'aim', or 'goal,' and λόγος, logos, 'explanation' or 'reason')[1] or finality[2][3] is a reason or explanation for something as a function of its end, purpose, or goal, as opposed to as a function of, say, its cause.

> Natural teleology, common in classical philosophy, though controversial today,[5] contends that natural entities also have intrinsic purposes, irrespective of human use or opinion. For instance, Aristotle claimed that an acorn's intrinsic telos is to become a fully grown oak tree.

That's the angle I'm coming from. Especially this part, given my introduction to teleology was through learning about systems theory:

> An example of the reintroduction of teleology into modern language is the notion of an attractor.
Isn't the article's point that those might be made up, or at least exaggerated?
Any community based on analysis doesn't fall under the set I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the kind of people who would look at an abused man and assume, a priori, that he did something to deserve it, because their worldview precluded the idea that anyone other than women can be abused.
> How people spend their money is no concern of mine.

Except if your entire family spends their money on DNA tests, then publishes the results on Facebook then your DNA is out in the open.
What a tone-deaf message from Mark (his team) to Waters. As if they don't know what he's all about. That has to be so insulting, one Instagram is the opposite of The Wall and boatloads of money is the opposite of what makes Waters convinced something is worthwhile and to top it off, the whole control/censorship/conformity angle which Waters is the total opposite of and where FB sets the rules or tone of discourse and wants conformity.

Then there is Oculus and the whole part of having people immerse as much of their lives as possible away from reality.

So, yeah, no --but damn, how tone deaf can a person be?
There are actually Linux distributions that don't include it (e.g. Debian), even though it's required by POSIX.

On one team, we had a lot of code that had been written hastily because we were OK with taking on technical debt in order to move more quickly. We'd reconsider old design decisions and blame "old $me". It was all done in good fun, and I was happy to take the blame as senior engineer.
Should be possible with Qt widgets or Electron. Qt also has its own Electron-like web-based solution.

I think the fact that one inherited dozens of castles and mansions that one can make exclusive use of, including lending them to people as political favors, including that one one's net worth is instructive.
kind of impressive really that you out-asshole'd the comment you were replying to
Many modern ones in high rise buildings require you to scan a key fob and/or enter the desired floor number, then it tells you which elevator to go wait at. The ones with the key fob often replace your previous selection automatically.

There are not buttons in this style of elevator other than door open door close and call for help.
It’s good for paper publication, and for public sector. Take an obscure area of math and throw it against latest trend.

Arguably that already exists in the form of politics/government, corporations, the military.

Based on my opinion that religion requires a belief in supernatural events, I would not call those religion per se. Definitely dogmatic. I think the parallels come from the tendency for human organizations to all take essentially the same structure, if you squint.
> While Apple didn’t challenge the idea that Files was unfairly ranked over Dropbox, the company says the
reality was a simple mistake: the Files app had a Dropbox integration, so Apple put “Dropbox” into the
app’s metadata, and it was automatically ranked higher for “Dropbox” searches as a result.

This seems to be the key argument, I've not seen this addressed anywhere. The Files app doesn't compete with Dropbox, if anything it promotes an interface to Dropbox.
If you think ChromeOS and iPadOS as desktop, music player and chat app is still written in native apps. These apps available too in macOS if developer opted in. So this problem seems to be limited to Windows and Linux only.
I am torn on this. On one hand I applaud someone who follows their dream in spite of societal pressures.

On the other hand, she only saw her son twice in 30 years. I would be pretty upset at my mom if she did that, and I can’t imagine doing that to my kids. Not meeting my grandkids, even though I am still alive? That is unimaginable to me.

In context it sounds like calling in a favor, like “calling in a chit”, in that it’s transactional unlike of the common usage.
Even so, why would their ranking favor a metadata match (whose app name doesn't match) over an exact app name match?
In her case, I think she was still a 'postulate', basically in preparation to become a nun, and the 'Mother Superior' or whatever the head nun was at her convent told her she should marry Captain Avon Trapp. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction!
Why? Not looking at something, not trying out something or just nothing to do with something is the easiest thing in the world! Just ignore it!

Well, the client and server are distinct. For a desktop system you can simply install both dict (client) and dictd (server), along with the various dictionaries.

The C/S element comes in handy on systems where the client is available, but dictionaries aren't. So from MacOS I can query my local Linux box.

(Debian has numerous dictionaries, including the US Census Gazeteer files, and others --- any information that can be represented in the dict format and be keyword-queried, basically. Quite handy.)

I wrote several tools for myself, the longer really still useful are:

* a voip callback daemon I trigger with Telegram: with a "call Tom" message to its Telegram Bot, the daemon call my phone and call Tom, and connect us together. I use it save phone costs (daemon chooses the best voip account depending on both the country I am calling and receiving calls), especially while anchoring where internet is too slow for direct voip calls.

* a small bash script for wireguard (quickly switch to a vpn profile)
I own one of everything, and yet I still haven't found what I want. Every day I'm reminded of my lack of options.

The ten commandments have things to say about working on Saturdays or fucking people whom you have not married, but don't have a word on the topic of slavery (in fact it is amply condoned in the Bible, incl. by Jesus, together with myriad other atrocities).

This is trash morality which you should have zero respect for. It's only understandable if you take it for what it really is: Bronze age Middle-Eastern mythology.

> where the rich are told they should be generous to the poor versus telling the poor that they have a right to something possessed by the rich.

But of facking course. Indeed, one of the major purposes of organized religion is keeping the masses in check.

“Why peasant, perhaps you are starting to question why you toil in back breaking work and neither you nor your family will ever have any rights or anything to your name, while the lord of the manor feasts on the food that you have produced without ever so much as grabbing a plow in his life? Perhaps you even start to think that you're not so much different, you and him, that you are both human?

Perhaps, god forbid, you are starting to believe that a more just way to distribute labour and rewards could be yours? That you should struggle and take what should be yours?

Can't have that no! Here:

- Honour your """natural""" superiors

- Obey god (i.e. the priests and clergy)

- Do not covet what's not yours

That should do it. Obey these commandments or you'll go to hell for eternity!”

How convenient.

Bah god is more important than your whiny grandkids, and by spending all this time in prayer she's surely helping them.

Religion is an ideological cancer: no need to be torn, this person followed an obsessive sickness, not a dream.
It is amazing that she could do such a radical change overnight, that too at an older age. Like, how can one go from luxurious lifestyle to sleeping on the floor overnight? Most people would have trouble giving up their luxuries for a couple of days.

Incredible!

Great point. My brother and I tried to get some type of electricians license in order to do our DIY work more "professionally".

I took household lighting classes at the local community college and our union electrician uncle helped use redo his house.

Impossible in my state to get a electrician license without doing 1+ years as an apprentice under a electrical company full-time. Once you get the "apprentice" license, you then spend another year or two under more supervision to become a journeyman.

At that point you are able to pull permits and work on your own. So 3-5 years working as a full time electrician. They expect you to learn everything on the job and eventually take a test.

More time to get an electrician license than to become a licensed police officer (250 hours of academy training).

Sweet. All of that to legally change a dishwasher in my house.

So all of the people on this forum spouting off about "certified electricians" are either part of the electrician racket themselves or have 0 actual clue what they are talking about.

I would work on the project every Sundays for a few hours: sometimes just 1 hour, sometimes as much as 6. After a few Sundays I had a local dev environment running on my computer to be able to track workouts in. At that point I started using my app: I would write my workouts in my phone and then when I got home from the gym enter them into the app running on localhost. After a few weeks of doing that I got fed up and decided I wanted to be able to enter my workouts from the gym via my phone directly, so I spent the next Sunday (or maybe 2 or 3, hard to remember) to learn how to deploy with Heroku. I did a pgdump of my local environment and used that to seed the "production" database running in heroku.

I think one thing which kept me motivated and engaged in the project was that I focused on getting as much value from my efforts ASAP, like a one person agile startup with a single customer (myself). Everything I added had to add some value immediately. I focused on the database modeling and REST APIs and didn't even worry about what the app looked like. When I first began using the app it was a simple multipage web application with basic HTML forms built in Django with no css (literally white background with blue text links and black text). Being able to actually use the app drove me to want to improve it and add new features.

For example: A feature which I wanted, which no app at the time had, was to be able to find my personal records by varying sets and reps. I wanted to answer questions like: What are the most pullups I've ever done in a single set? What's the most weight I've deadlifted for 4 sets of 2 reps? What is the heaviest weight I have ever back squatted for 8 reps? I had the data, I just had to build it into my app. So the first feature I added after being able to create workouts was the ability to look up previous bests. Every time I would workout I would look up my previous best in the app and try to beat it. Being able to track and set new personal records in the gym kept me motivated in my workouts, it was pretty thrilling seeing my project actually pay off for me personally.

An elongating hallway is a good analogy. Every time I found out there was a new thing I had to learn I would be stressed out and overwhelmed, coming up against a hard edge of my knowledge. I would then read a few articles and do some googling, and next thing I knew I was successfully doing the things which originally stressed me out! In my previous comment I mentioned that doing this project increased my confidence as an engineer, which I think was caused by repeatedly bumping up against my limits and then surpassing them.

So she gave them all her money and they kept her behind bars for the rest of her life. How is this not a cult?
The parent said weighted average. The weight can be picked cleverly: it does not have to be the 0.5 of your example, and it doesn’t have to be constant.

For example, the Kalman Filter tells you the weight to apply to each new sample and the last estimate to make a new estimate. These weights are optimal if the measurement errors have a Gaussian distribution with zero mean. In many practical systems they are usably good even when that assumption does not perfectly hold.

In your example the new measurement that was less consistent with the last fused estimate would be downweighted by a KF.

It's particularly weird to target Apple in such a nebulous case when Selling ads that show up higher in the search results than the product you searched for is literally Google's business model in their only really profitable segment.

With c2rust it wouldn't. It would likely be slower in some cases due to added checks for, say, buffer overruns.

But that's not the point. C2rust code is not "idiomatic". You get weird, unsafe Rust code full of potential side effects. The idea is to provide a means for you to start rewriting things in ways that make sense in Rust.

Would the final code be faster? Harder to tell. Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how well it's implemented, what kind of clever constructs are applied, what the game's bottlenecks are, etc.

And yet, I don't think that matters much either. Games shouldn't be bound by CPU as much nowadays unless they're doing massive simulations that are likely not language constrained. So it would be the wrong comparison to make IMO.
In IT, there are edge cases, QA misses, design mistakes and ofc the almighty programming bug.

All 3 of the accounts listed regarding Agrippina's death are subjects of the article in question and suspected of outright making things up. Your own link even puts forth the fact that all three accounts are unbelievable. I don't know the current consensus on all of that, but I know that the consensus is that most of the more outrageous things Suetonius had to say about the 12 Caesars was nonsense. I don't think it'd be all that surprising if Tacitus and Cassius Dio did similarly.
> “ There could just as easily be a Brock Turner in the woods seeing an incapacitated girl and fiddling around, except this time the victim would already be or about to be dead.”

You posited he could have merely raped the dying victim (semen isn’t left by “fiddling around”). I ask you again whether hit matters if he was a rapist-murderer or merely a rapist of bound murder victims.

Reasonable doubt doesn’t mean constructing convoluted scenarios to explain how he left his semen in her without raping or murdering her. Occams Razor falls very hard on the obvious answer here.
If being single and spending those years doing things you love makes you happier then why shouldn't you do it? Has nothing to do with entitlement.

By the time I joined, I discovered that on my team of 5: - manager had joined weeks before interviewing me, replacing the long time team lead who had been fired - 2 guys were being fired & I was to take on their responsibilities along with the other guy they just hired

This happened to me at the last job, and I've commented something similar once: the interview experience and the first couple of month experiences were so different I've got no qualms saying it straight up: I felt lied to.

On top of joining a team that felt completely bootstrapped and thrown together for my arrival and included ZERO engineers with domain knowledge or familiarity on the system they had just been pulled off of systems they'd built and maintained for the last several years to this new team I was hired into, two people left within the first two months, another got fired due to ongoing and apparently continued behavioral issues, and a third appeared on my team out of nowhere. Got pulled into a zoom call one day "So and so works for you now" and that was it.

All of this after an interview process where I was assured: "these guys have been working on this since inception".

The place was absolutely bonkers compared to the interview, and I thought I had done a pretty decent job peeling the layers of filibustering answers when I would inquire about things like turnover, team sizes, promotions and firings, open positions/how long they'd been open et al. Or at least the recruiter I worked with leading up to getting an offer letter was more than forthcoming and transparent about this stuff....

...except THAT person ended up quitting two weeks before I did.

Contract violations or fraud or whatever this was aren’t the same kind of crime or tort as taking somebody’s property.

For starters, it’s less chaotic - you have to sign up to be a victim. Also, it’s gradual — the driver gets paid less, one trip at a time. And then when you notice you’re being scammed, you can keep doing it, or deal with some other company.
