Looks great! Amazing work.

Am I right for thinking that this might not be the best tool for me if my online events aren't public but instead are internal -- where not just anybody can register, just certain pre-registered folks who are either members of the organization or staff at affiliated organizations?

I'll definitely find a use for it somewhere, regardless, even if for a different type of event.

Also, not to be the person who isn't paying for the tool but is still asking for features, but I'd love to see interpretation features down the line. We have live interpreters for many of our events.
Yes of course the components are usually not the entire page; don't take the terms too literally. I'm still searching for the best name for these modes ("sprinkled" isn't quite right either). Although "full body component" or "big section component" might be a little better, I suggestion not missing the underlying idea or point due to imperfect terms.
“Christ” and “grime” both come from the proto Indo-European root for rub or smear. Christ as in anointing with oil, grimy from tubing in dirt.

> Microsoft should have really invested time in creating template projects used to migrate from the 95 era panels to the Vista/7 era panels. And then again for Win10.

A lot of the problem just feels like they've repeatedly given up halfway through converting old settings UIs to newer ones and fallen back to bundling the old UIs into "advanced" or "additional settings" windows. The Personalization settings are a perfect example of this -- there's a Windows 10 Settings applet, which defers to a Windows 7 Control Panel applet for some options, which internally defers to a Windows XP era dialog for setting colors (which are mostly no-ops on Windows 10, but I digress). What they really need is a concerted effort to finish the job.

> Did Mac OS 9 and earlier have plugable 3rd party panels?

Ooooooh boy. Tangent time:

Control Panels and Extensions were perhaps one of the most terrifying part of Classic Mac OS from a modern development perspective. They represented modules of code which were loaded system-wide at startup, which could patch any (ANY!!) part of the operating system with their own code to add custom functionality -- for example, some common ones would add a screen saver (After Dark), add custom system-wide menus (Now Menus), or change the appearance of system controls and windows (Kaleidoscope). Conflicts between different cdevs/extensions were commonplace; System 7.5 added a first-party Extensions Manager utility that could be used to temporarily disable extensions, and a number of third-party utilities existed to diagnose startup crashes caused by conflicts.

The only difference between a Control Panel and an Extension was that a Control Panel could be launched as an application, typically to change its settings. There was no special UI framework for third-party Control Panels; they used the same UI toolkits as any other application.
true but i have a feeling that for the next years to come, good old 2d static abstractions will be out of the picture (replaced by fully fluid animated UI paradigms)
Fantastic can still be used to describe something fantasy-esque in modern usage. Albeit it's probably getting more rare.

Like "fantastic voyage", "fantastic beliefs", "fantastic visions".
I've been seeing a Psychiatrist 30 plus years.

I have not asked him directly what causes insomnia, but from what from what I gather (He is very good in not making a situation worse with a dubious advice.) is they don't know. It's most likely stress from life? I go to bed worried, and worry throughout the day.

1. Melatonin worked for one night.

2. He states that many patients build up a tolerance to Ambian after three days.

3. I stopped sleeping through the night about 20 years ago.
I can get to sleep, but wake up three hours later, and you know the drill. I've kinda given up. I tried antihistamines, but they only work sometimes, and the tiredness I feel lasts when I wake.

4. There are a few vary rare medical conditions, and Psychological disorders that can cause sleep disturbances. So rare, medically, I don't even know if I should mention them. I'll give the only one I heard that can cause sleep reversal in some patients. I heard it was cirrhosis. It's one more reason to limit drug/alcohol use? (I could have cirrhosis? The only way to know for sure is a biopsy, and why? I'm not getting a liver transplant over sleep.)

5. I have gathered they don't know why some people have such crazy sleep patterns.

6. Klonopin/bentzos helps with sleep, but you build up a tolerance pretty quick. (I take klonopin. If I had a do over, I would have never started them. I do know it's possible to get down to 1 mg daily without much discomfort.)

7. Heavy exercise at night can disrupt sleep. I know it's counterintutive.

8. My sleep has gotten to the point, I need to find a night job.

9. I wish employers would start work hours later for those with sleep disorders.

10. In my county, the town of Sausalito decided homeless will have to pack up their tents during the day. I remember reading this and thinking not one of those council members know what it's like to have a sleeping disorder.

11. Good luck--lousy sleep is getter than cancer, or death?
Correct.

For that you have time delayed replicas and of course backups. But time delayed replicas are usually much faster to restore than a backup.
This is also why it is silly to even consider defense against a hostile alien threat that arrives in our solar system. If they have a spacecraft capable of crossing interstellar distances then wiping out all life on Earth without warning is a trivial problem.
Sure, but I would argue that that is more of an analogy to the first page of products only. Things that are beyond the third or fourth page may as well be in the back of the store, and not on the shelves.
> and yet, despite occasional problems, the same hasn't happened in the Android sphere with sideloading. Problems? Sure... but not "ZOMG MILLIONS!"

Millions of Android devices have malware problems, yes. I might even agree with a claim that it is ZOMG millions.

Estimates claim that as far back as 2016, a million new Android devices were being infected with malware per month. The current figures are estimated by AV vendors at 4-7 million infections per month.
The only write once media I'm aware of that is in significant use are WORM tapes. They don't offer significant advantages over regular tapes, but for compliance reasons it can be useful to just make it impossible to modify the backups.
There are now other cryptocurrencies that provide that without wasteful proof of work.
That so many people believe they have knowledge of all the evidence suggests to me that something very strange is going on here.

This may not literally be a simulation, but it seems to behave like one in many ways.
Related: I've been listening to the History of English podcast. If this kind of content is your thing, it's highly recommended.
Call me crazy but my personal experience has been that whenever I am in a "high" (at least for me) electro-magnetic field environment, I have trouble falling asleep, my sleep becomes terrible, chopped up and I wake up feeling like I barely slept even though I might have slept for 7-9 hours.

In contrast, in a "low" EMF environment, I fall asleep almost instantly, sleep in one go, and wake up feeling amazing. It's literally night and day for me, no pun intended.

Just my 2c, but I'd recommend trying to turn off your wifi router and your phone at night, see if it makes any difference in your life. At best it will, at worst, you will just think I'm crazy and have "wasted" one night experimenting.
I beta for a music instrument manufacturer. Getting into their slack channel felt completely arbitrary. I never entered a password I just clicked a link on whichever browser I was using. What? Is that normal?? I’ve never used slack prior to this.
Your first paragraph contradicts the second and third paragraphs! If you believe that individuals should control their own devices, why are you in favor of Apple retaining control of every iPhone it sells? Pick one!
Housing is one of the _very_ few ways a peasant can leverage debt beyond his means to hedge against inflation.

There's no other way I could take out a loan for > $100k to buy an asset. Since leveraging dollar debts to assets is the only sane thing to do in an inflationary regime, it's no surprise that housing has become ridiculously overpriced.

Buying a house is the only way an average person can utilize financial techniques of the wealthy. Namely leveraging dollar debts against an inflationary hedge.
I suspect that these hackers are disappointed by how little they earned from stolen EA info, assuming they earned much of anything. This is why hackers target bitcoin exchanges so much, because that is where the money is.
There is already a super accessible presentation of history maps: Paradox games like Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, etc. The games achieved what you’re talking about already, there’s already an old, large and very active community of modders across their games that make historical accuracy (or gameplay-favorable inaccuracy) changes. It’s possible the mean Europa player, over all the games, individually spent more hours looking and interpreting the historical map in those games than anyone has ever spent looking at any Open Street Map property ever.

If you’re thinking about contributing to OSM History maybe consider EU4 instead. Maybe you think these are different things. I don’t. One satisfies your curiosity (ie entertains you) a lot better than the other.

Maybe though OSM History could be a place, like Wikipedia, where people could settle “territorial disputes.” I don’t know, that shit, wherever it appears, is a pretty toxic part of any community. I’m not 100% sure how Europa deals with it - you can download whatever mod you want, after all, it’s your game. But my feeling is, most of this territorial dispute shit hardly affects the people talking about it at all, and the feelings of playing a video game and all that entails - positive feelings - are better than the negative ones you feel when you’re pursuing what you believe is justice in a Wiki talk page or a Twitter flame war.
> 4.2% CPI the last year,

One year ago the dollar was deflating, so this is cherrypicking data. If inflation was above 4% for multiple years then that would be a problem, but a month or two is not anything to be worried about.

I'm also not sure why you think adjustments to the CPI should not be allowed. Individual goods get cheaper or more expensive relative to other goods, and consumers change their behavior. It would be asinine to have the government subsidize certain goods (via economic policy) such that all consumers purchase the same basket today as they were in 1990!
Conversely, that's only when technology starts to become interesting to me. When it's lived long enough to be useful, and hasn't fallen out of favor for something else. Thank you for building such an excellent tool.

I want other people to prove those things for me. I want to spend as little time and effort possible acquiring scars and would rather learn from others.

Good technology lasts.
ISPs (especially mobile ones) sometimes rotate IP addresses in an little as 4 hours. Relying on static IP addresses throughout a client session might be more secure but will result in people getting logged out very frequently.

Plus, even with the most strict filtering client IP addresses can always be spoofed.
>What other industry treats its workers better than tech?

There's a bit of a disconnect between what a FAANG company considers an employee and what the colloquial definition of employees are at a company.

The large corporations have shed every worker they can that's unrelated to their core business, such as by contracting out security or cleaning. Then the large corporations say they treat their employees better and point at the ones remaining who get all the nice perks. The average person however, sees someone who goes to work every day at the same corporate campus and views them as employees who are not treated well
Thank you! I'm actually super excited about use cases like that. Your examples reminded me of a startup that recently hosted an internal event called "Sales Armageddon" where they had teams in different rooms competing on how many inbound leads they could call and schedule a demo. There was a lot more to it including training but it was like a sales game!

Also, we currently don't have a video of the attendee experience, but you can scroll to the Blocks section to see screenshots. Feel free to create an account to check it out also!
Lol - if it were that simple we would have had this tech years ago.

The physics of the eye are relatively complex, the data processing and recognition we do more so, and the ability to dynamically mentally model a set of controls onto a vehicle of arbitrary shape and dimension even more so.

Cameras are not eyes, the algorithms we use to detect are completely different, the algorithms we use are completely different.

I can't prove that it is impossible, but its different enough that it might be. A bit like saying a tomato and a brocoli are both vegetables with organic matter, but good luck making Tomato Juice with broccoli.
Not eating or drinking before bed makes a massive difference for me.

A little water here or there is okay, but I find that if I don't eat or drink 3 hours before my bedtime then my sleep is more restful and I have much more REM sleep. It works very consistently for me and I can tell it works both through my experience and what my Oura ring tells me about my sleep.
... different SaaS service, including any security keys?
The problem is that the majority of people do end up driving within that ~5km limit in cities that don't invest in public transport and cycling infrastructure. In the UK most cities are around this size, but our modal share for cycling is much lower, despite similar climate conditions. The main difference I see is that we invest heavily in infrastructure suited for cars, but very little in public transport or cycling.

I guess what I'm trying to say is cities typically end up the way they do due to how their residents approach transport planning. You can either continue with a car centric approach that leads to more sprawl and a city center that's less welcoming/interesting to visit, or you can try to make the city friendly towards more efficient modes of transport that encourage people to onto the streets.
> Multi vitamins are generally a complete waste of money.

I think we should be more careful about saying this. I've heard both professors and doctors say this, and then I've personally read the (reputable, mainstream) research papers showing that double digit percentages of people have various vitamin deficiencies.

I'll just Google real quick to see if I can find some examples of common vitamin deficiencies, but these are obviously just web articles, not research papers...

https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfession...

"Dietary surveys of people in the United States consistently show that many people consume less than recommended amounts of magnesium"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10357726/

This one recommends 120mg of vitamin C, but I've seen another that recommends 200mg, and I suspect a lot of software engineers are not eating enough fruit on a daily basis to meet the recommended level.

Also, what's the harm in taking a multivitamin? At a cost of under $1/day, if you don't need the vitamins, it's a small cost (< 1% of Bay Area rent), and if you do need them it may have an impact on your health.

I agree that a multivitamin doesn't usually include enough magnesium or vitamin D, but that's an argument for adding additional supplements, not to stop taking multivitamins.
No. A region of a piece of material is magnetized in a certain direction when its (ionized) atoms are mostly oriented in that direction, the presence of a constant magnetic field is (roughly speaking) only a consequence of that.

So flash memory is about the electrons, while magnetic memory is about the ions.
And given that each repair could, in theory, eat into the profit margins that Apple enjoys (either via 1st patty repairs or through a customer not buying a replacement device) it would make logical sense to do so if he dislikes Apple that much
Imagine if Ford and GM started building roads and tolling who gets access ...

Given the strategic importance of such things, I hope there are good regulations in place.

To find out more cognates and some of the history of how those words evolved, I recommend the History of English podcast. You’ll get language history and etymology as well as lots of social and historical drivers for those changes.

From this, I learned that “white” and “black” are cognate with an IE root that meant both burning and burned.

You could desolder or, if daring enough, cut one of the trace on the pcb that power the LEDs. They would likely have a common power trace.
I don't get much remedy from the feeling, mainly curiousity!
I am wondering if Amazon is immune to reputational damage though. People have been complaining about counterfeit and defective products from Amazon for about 5 years now, and it doesn't seem to have had significant effect on market share.

I've been disentangling my purchasing habits from Amazon, but I don't know too many other people who are.
I used to run Vagrant for python development back in 2015
it "worked" but was extremally slow and would break at least once a month. Not to mention Ubuntu suddenly removing the Vagrant user breaking more things. How much was VirtualBox or Vagrant fault, I'm not sure but it wasn't a happy experience.
It took like an hour minimum to even setup an environment and everyone dreaded the day when they need to recreate their machine.

Once WSL came into being we moved everything to docker containers and never looked back.
Your ability to comprehend something is your shortcut to assessing how likely it is?
I am the developer of Wapp. I gather (from other comments) that the name "Wapp" collides with a recent pop song by someone named "Cardi B" - please correct me if I have misunderstood. For the record:

* I do not follow or participate in pop culture.
* I do not listen to pop music, ever.
* I do not know who Cardi B is.

Any similarity in the name of the Wapp software framework and music by the individual or group known as "Cardi B" is purely coincidental.
What happens when you quit?

I’m ok paying for that myself, my employer wouldn’t spring for the Aeron and adjustable standing desk I have anyway.
This Nio article brings up a good point I didn't think about. If we had swapping stations like this then people could get the benefit of the latest battery technology (given it fits) without having to take in the vehicle for an upgrade or trade it in all together.
Believe it or not, there is more to ITAR than annoying programmers with crypto export rules. All manner of cutting edge shit has obvious military applications and is covered by ITAR. ITAR may cover materials, radios, navigation systems, and much more. Any of those might plausibly be in a space probe. Various technologies relating to satellites in particular are covered.
What is interesting here is that the hackers actively describe and share how they broke in, rather then EA setting the narrative.

This isn't very common I think.
These hackers are about to find out that the market value of 780GB of source code is wayyy less than they think.
In what way is Vulkan not portable? It runs on all operating systems (Windows 7+, Linux, Android, and Apple via MoltenVK) and all GPUs (AMD GCN, nVidia Kepler, Intel), and shaders (compute and rendering) are to my knowledge standardized in the portable SPIR-V bytecode.

WGPU is more portable, since it can use not only Vulkan but also other APIs like OpenGL and Direct3D 11, but Vulkan is already very highly portable for almost everyone with a computer modern enough to run anything related to GPU compute.
I didn't claim to be in favor of Apple retaining control of every iPhone they sell. Please re-read my comment.

My claim is that for most users of iPhones, the situation of Apple being in control of their device, rather than themselves, results in a better outcome for that user (and is oftentimes explicitly preferred by that user as a result, and is reflected in their purchase of an iPhone).

In fact, Apple delegates control of an iPhone's userspace execution environment to any iPhone owner who wants it: they will give you a signing cert for use in xcode to run any app you want on your own device (no developer subscription necessary). This is how AltStore works, and allows AltStore users to run emulator apps on the iPhones they own.
Yes, but that happens in every industry, and this is about why the left hates tech in particular.
iOS updates aren't forced, no.

However, if you install an update to try it out, or because you didn't realize that it would e.g. break 32bit support, you can never downgrade again (unless you happen to be within a two-week-ish period.)
Thanks for all the tools. You guys have well-deserved success.

Are there plans to somehow harmonize the concepts here with packer (and whatever the new packer cloud will be?). Vagrant for the most part feels like a vm-only version of packer (even though Vagrant came first).

I can easily see a self-hosted cloud-based "one-click dev machine" paired with VS Code Remote, provisioned by packer (or vagrant), with the configs stored in git. We'd love to roll out something like that for our devs so sensitive data then never leaves our sandbox or even gets into the dev laptops.
The JS ecosystem always want to start simple tools, but they forget that every simple tool has become complex so reinvent the wheel again.

You see that programs written in C (Simple language) tend to be more complex than one written in C++

> get throwaway head count

It's not like they are choosing whether or not to fire someone. They know they have to let someone go. They are just strategically choosing who it should be. Their headcount doesn't change as a result of this

> collude with bar raisers to hire low performing employees, and they need to fool their directors

They don't have to go this far. As a manager, you could simply allow the hiring process to play itself out as it normally does. And then hire someone with the knowledge that they will be your sacrificial lamb when needed

> doubtful executives at the organizational level will let you get away with it if found out

How exactly is anyone going to find out. As long as you don't do it repeatedly and in a blatantly obvious manner, there's no way anyone will find out

Moddable dedicated servers are the best. There's still active communities on e.g almost 20 years old CS:S and probably older games.
