Looks like I might have this particular gene, Although I can sleep longer most nights I can make do with just 5-6 hours and find it enough to function (I do drink a cup of coffee every morning but an hour or so after waking up so I dont mess with my natural ability to wake myself up), my wife would always be envious how I am able recharge my batteries with shorter sleep spans. Would be interesting to confirm this if 23andme has a new custom report to test this for me.
I think you've turned yourself into a cynical asshole - perhaps by posting too much. The key is to not believe Twitter, which is full of people who have never left the US blaming things on "capitalism", even when those things don't happen in other capitalist countries (eg France) or do in other not-capitalist ones (eg Vietnam).

As for the genetic tests, most of them update with new results after the first $60.
As a rule, you never, ever tell about your new job nor position, your boss could call your new future boss and you could lose the job.
Electron and Qt are both terrible in different ways, but Electron is clunky and resource-heavy on all systems while Qt is primarily clunky on non-Linux systems.

Personally I'd go with almost anything that seems OK on Linux (e.g. GTK seems to be pretty mature and seems less susceptible to issues with the Qt company), and native on every other platform.
Not just annoy. Some users might think they accidentally got on the wrong elevator ("oops, I got on a down elevator instead of an up elevator") and leave the elevator at the next floor to ask for a new elevator.
It already is. All humans have nearly identical DNA, and if anyone wants yours in particular, there is no way to stop them from getting it. Just takes a few hair strands.
> One thing I cant stop thinking about is... aren‘t credit cards incredibly insecure?

Yes but by and large the fraud isn’t your burden, it’s the banks. So you can push the onus of security on them. Getting a new card to replace your compromised one is quick and easy, and you can do things like lock the card from use from banking mobile apps.

The banks also do some analysis for fraud prevention. If you spent $5 in Ohio and an hour later in Mumbai they’d know it’s fraud b/c you can’t travel there that fast. Or if you never buy jewelry and try to buy some your card may be declined even if it’s a legit purchase.

But overall specifically in the case of credit cards I’ve found that I just don’t care about the security and it’s up to the issuing institution to figure out. Debit cards on the other hand are much more sensitive because it may take time to get cash back and you may have to fight the bank a little bit to prove you didn’t make a withdrawal. Meanwhile maybe you miss a car payment because your account was emptied.

Long story short, always always always* use a credit card for day-to-day purchases, if not for the cash back or points but for the security as well.

* obviously there are times where using a debit card makes sense but they are rare and specific.

> Why is murder evil? Why is stealing evil? Why is anything evil or good for that matter?

These are covered by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Evil in this context is any violation of rights as defined by the UDHR

Why resort to a religion when you can have empathy for your fellow human, seems like a waste of time :)
Proselytizing is not forbidden. It is also not required, and for all that proselytizing activity of the ancient rabbis there is very little in the Talmud that actually discusses seeking out converts and Jews are not actually required to do so. The New Testament makes proselytizing a requirement for every Christian (the Great Commission). Likewise, Christians are called on by the New Testament to engage in apologetics; the Talmud only suggests that Jews should know how to answer a "heretic" (which, as I said, means the debate is only meant to be between Jews) and only (to my knowledge) in Pirkei Avot which does not even have a Gemara.

In any case, what difference does it make if Jews in the first and second centuries were proselytizing? The religion changed since then and everyone knows it. Traditions we take for granted today like the Passover Seder had only just started to develop in the second century. There was no Jewish Calendar at that time and there was no canon of scripture (there was a collection of holy writings that overlapped with the Tanakh, but what was actually in that collection depended on who you asked).

In this century, and for at least the ten centuries prior (likely longer), Jewish apologetics has only been in response to efforts by non-Jews to convert Jews to other religions, and that is very different from Christian apologetics.
> Before this unnatural practice became prevalent

We’re talking about computer hardware and software. Complaining that it is “unnatural” makes no sense.

> any computer user and / or Linux / Windows / Mac / Android developer could create and distribute software on the respective platforms for free without any such financial consideration.

This isn’t true. The first Android device was launched to the public after the App Store was open for business. And you are ignoring all the platforms where this was a common practice beforehand, like consoles. Apple weren’t the first to charge for access to a platform, this was already a common practice. Nintendo have been doing it since the mid 80s, for instance.
> If all the money is loaned out to the limits of fractional reserve, more money for interest can only come into existence by printing more.

"Fractional Reserve" banking is not a thing, as banks do not lend out reserves (except overnight to other banks). It does not and has never accurately described how banks lend, nor does it accurately define limits to bank lending. The limit to bank lending is capital. Bank capital consists of trusted assets (e.g. IOUs that central banks are willing to discount or which other banks accept as collateral for overnight loans) that are believed to be risk free. Generally this means government debt. Government debt is the sole constraint on bank lending as well as loan growth. Reserves have nothing to do with this in a modern system, and were only incidentally important in earlier systems.

> more money for interest can only come into existence by printing more.

Please define what you mean by "money". When most people think of money, they think of demand accounts, and these are not created by the government but by the private sector. Clarity in definitions can explain almost all of these misconceptions. A good rule of thumb is that someone who doesn't know what they are talking about mentions only "money". If you know what you are talking about, you specify the asset and matching liability, and so you distinguish between bank reserves, vault cash, deposit accounts, bank bonds, and different bank assets, knowing which meet capital adequacy requirements and which do not.

A good description of how the monetary system works is provided by the Bank of England report "Money Creation in a Modern Economy".

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m...

That article does a good job at dispelling myths of "fractional reserve banking", "money printing", and the like, and it accurately describes how modern banks work and what central banks actually do. It is required reading for anyone who goes off about "money printing" or whoever thinks that banks lend out reserves.
Nice tool. I wonder if it supports resuming downloads?

Might have been better if they built on bonjour/zeroconf rather than make a "tailscale" api though... on the other hand, I guess bonjour/zeroconf works oob on tailscale anyway.

Which makes this more of a marketing for a new api/app platform?
> smaller ones who have no power and no chance of ever getting into power.

Whilst the smaller parties / independents do not have a real chance to gain majority, they can still have a voice and oftentimes hold the balance of power. This leads to some claiming that these smaller players have a much bigger influence than they deserve.
Easy to underestimate the historians incentive to blame the previous regime & to paint their patrons ancestors in good light.

I understand what you mean. The issue is that not everybody who likes Pink Floyd/Roger Waters looks deeply into the meaning of the lyrics.

I agree that it is tone deaf to ask Roger to support Facebook, but if Zuckerberg somehow got the rights to the music, some fans could be fooled.

For example, my first Pink Floyd album was Atom Heart Mother, and at that point I didn't realize that Pink Floyd/Roger Waters went deeper than the music.

I can't really fault him for 6 or 14. Or really for 9 - it's how the laws are written, not by him, and at least he's not, afaik, doing the hypocritical dance of "raise the taxes, I won't be paying them anyway!". The rest is plenty, though, and his wholehearted embrace of censorship doesn't add any points.

Rail makes sense if your shipping across the country. Actually I would be surprised if anyone used trucking to ship from the East Coast to the West Coast since every shipping/trucking company I know already uses rail extensively to ship out of Region. When it's state to state or within a region, rail doesn't make sense since it won't save time or money.
> Don’t start a company

Next tweet: "Today is the best time ever to start a company. You might fail, you might succeed, it’s a crazy ride either way, and you’ll learn and grow more than at any job."

I do not fully understand but my interpretation: Try it anyway even if you are not cut out for it.

Any other interpretations?

It sounds like you probably have a fairly healthy and loving relationship with your mother. Not all family relationships are that way whether at the fault of the parents, children or both. I recommend not projecting your family history on to others and judging them based upon it.

Some parents and some children don't deserve to be seen more than twice in 30 years. Some children should never suffer being exposed to their grandparents.
Rituals help a lot.

Beginning of the day I exercise and get ready like I’m going to work. End of the day I shut things down (either dev tools or the whole laptop). This latter creates friction so I don’t absentmindedly a start working later in the evening.
I think you're being down voted but you speak the truth. The current division, strife, and lack of unity in western society is in large part due to misinformation, propaganda, and psyops from adversaries.

I'm wondering what the hierarchy like that is here. There seem to just be 2 levels here: lay Catholic and Carmelite nun. Would the entire Catholic Church be a cult? It doesn't have the "gave them all her money" or "kept her behind bars" aspects that FounderBurr mentioned.

That doesn’t make the story any less tragic. To have 10 kids and not want to see any of them is beyond sad.

Which substances?
I'm not torn at all. I find it reprehensible, and I am genuinely surprised that more of the comments here don't find that behavior horrible. There is nothing noble about having 10 kids, then cutting them out of your life once their other parent died. I mean, wtf.
“Below the fold“ implies that the result wasn’t on screen. The second search result is always on screen, even if you have a tiny iPhone from six years ago.

Yes, that supports what I'm saying.

Yes! The tutorial for cxx shows how you can use common templated types like std::vector: https://cxx.rs/index.html

More details are in the crate documentation: https://docs.rs/cxx/1.0.49/cxx/

Note that the philosophy of cxx isn't to support all of C++'s semantics (templates make this impossible in the limit as Rust has no SFINAE rule for example), but rather to support the important use cases that arise in practice.

It's also worth noting that, these days, bindgen has support for instantiating C++ templates, though it operates at a much lower level. Compared to cxx, bindgen is oriented more toward being comprehensive than being easy.
Absolute badass.

People like him, Raoul Wallenberg and Schindler put everything at risk because they understood their sacrifice had 1000x leverage on others lives.

We should all aspire to be as courageous if the opportunity presents itself.
The grass is greener if you stop working for companies dominated by non-technical leadership.

Unfortunately the types who move from one corporate behemoth to another rarely see the light and continue indulging in the fantasy that one day they'll find a large old company run by non-technical leadership with respect for engineering, other good developers to collaborate with who haven't left, and processes focused on progress.

The rest of us learned the lesson and stopped working as engineers for such companies.
If you did have to download Finder from the Mac App Store, would that turn Finder into a competitor of Dropbox?

>There's nothing in Christianity that forces you to give your money to the Church

There's a wide variety of Christian churches. Some can be aggressive in asking for money. Most of them do promote donation of some of your money to them. The percentage varies. Some say 10% (tithe), some say whatever you feel is best, some might say all. I don't think the Catholic Church is very aggressive, nor does it say members should give it all their money.

It is clear that specific sequence is to test if you are founder material. If you called BS on the first tweet and read the next tweet, you at least have the right mentality.

Your story is very similar to mine, except I am currently also working for my family business with no means to escape by just quitting and moving to another company.

What's actually worrisome is that political discourse in many less developed nations has started to emulate whatever is regurgitated in the US, which leads people to shift their focus onto issues that are not as urgent or relevant in their own countries.
> that's the point it started going downhill for us developers on the macOS and iOS platform

The only developers on the iPhoneOS platform at that point worked for Apple, or jailbroke and used reverse engineered APIs, or built web applications.

You seem to be implying that there was some happy era of open native iPhone application development before Apple ruined it all with the App Store, but that’s simply not true.
You seem to believe that the scientific method and religion are mutually exclusive.

I'm going to split out some terms here. Scientific Method, Academic Science, and Secularism. The latter two are connected to atheism, at least in this era, and are more in line with ideologies and I do not desire to further address or describe them in this post except to say that they do not have a monopoly on the merits of the scientific method.

To speak of the method itself, which is religion agnostic and, as you say, it is a function to provide information as well as the ability to duplicate results. I would append that applying the scientific method to religion works, and that you can, indeed, learn as well as duplicate results through it - as well as reject results that do not work.

A major challenge is that the resultant artifacts aren't readily transferable or inspectable. Many secularists get hung up on this and say it's an invalid application. Essentially that only what the eye can see or the hand can measure is real. I can't really show you my happiness, or peace, or share with you the the depth of experience or knowledge that heals and transforms. I can tell you about it, about how Christ can lead you to peace. I can describe the inputs and results, the complete formula, and then you can walk it and experience the fruits first hand.

Another part of the challenge is that lack of transferability also applies to the instrumentation. I can't provide you a properly calibrated conscience, or the concept of true humility before God like I could a measure of mass or distance. It's all internal to you. Experimentation on that is time consuming and difficult. Some people run experiments with improperly calibrated instrumentation and then fail to get the expected results.

If composition is your first concern you lack vision. Instead start from a good idea, form a vision on how you want to execute that idea, determine what you need, and then build those pieces in isolation. You get separation of concerns for free and composition becomes the last step. If you spend all your energy over concerns on how to build something you are spending creative energy thinking about what cool things to build.

The whole point of gaining monopoly status is to be able to use and apply these kinds of manipulations. This doesn't make it right however.

Epic is one of a few large enough to make the necessary waves to have an impact. But behind Epic are thousands of unhappy app developers. Most of which are otherwise ignored. Also, complain too loudly and Apple has plenty of indirect ways to harm you. This is also an outcome of monopoly.
> In open source, we often emphasize the importance of good code. After all, the deliverable of every open source project, is the source, right?

Here is the thing: Bad code is written by good people as well. Be gentle and constructive with your critiques and criticism, and you might start getting good code from them before too long.

Good code is written by bad people too. Your project may very well have a prolific contributor who is driving away other people with their behavior. That person might even be you.

Do you think that all apps should have access to system events without asking permission? I sympathise with the frustration, and I agree that Apple could’ve done more to help less tech savvy users navigate the challenge of increased security. But every operating system is a series of trade-offs between developer convenience and having the system defend the user’s interests.

But if I was in your position, my response would be to do the best job I can to educate my users about this and hold their hand through the process as much as possible. If your competitors face the same challenges, doing this well could be a real competitive advantage.
