I truly sympathize with this woman--an injury of this nature dramatically alters your perspective on life. I had a small brain injury about 2 months ago; I never got a diagnosis from my high powered neurologist but we suspected it was related to covid. Thankfully I recovered after about a month. The symptoms of brain injury can be incredibly weird. I'm in touch with people who no longer experience emotions; who lost their internal monologue. My weird symptom was that I would get headaches and light sensitivity after sex.

It's interesting. You find out that most of the people you thought cared about you actually don't. You find out that most of the things you cared about don't actually matter. You find out that the neurologists that were supposed to save you are actually just wasting MRI time to write bullshit papers to pad their CV. Even if they wanted to help you, they don't really know anything about the brain, and are dozens of breakthroughs away from getting there, and the few medications at their disposal can't change the reality that neurons don't heal or regenerate, and you'll have to make do with fewer of them. The world moves on without you and it doesn't care if you recover or not. If you were smart, you desperately try to avoid being lumped in with "stupid people", knowing how little respect people have for that population. You realize how much your intelligence factored into your ego and identity. It's not your fault after all. This isn't who you are. It's just an injury. But eventually you come to terms with the fact that your brain really does define who you are, and maybe you accept that or maybe you don't.

The inability to deal with time and state is not fundamental to functional PLs (though possibly a difficulty for pure FPs). Erlang handles time, state, AND space (though isn't that just time?) fantastically. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the lead creator was a Physics PhD (candidate dropout? I don't remember). Concepts of giving up on absolute synchronicity, for example, reliability of transmissions across unreliable channels, permeate the feel of the (functional) system. It is decidedly not pure functional programming though, as the choice of a functional system was made more of a pragmatic / developer ergonomic choice than a theoretical one.
Because I don’t like ads.

And I like VR. So ads in VR means I won’t be able to play VR games.

So both decreases my pleasure. Especially since I already bought an oculus back when the model was just selling games.

Untrue, which is why, e.g., both ® and ™ symbols exist to designate trademarks.

Herman Miller Embody. Had an Aeron before and loved it, move countries and left it behind.

The Embody beats the Aeron for my preference – the "pixels" aren't a gimmick, and it was more adjustable to my needs.

Pro tip: Lookup the corporate dealers/authorized resellers and give them a call. It's not uncommon to get one new for 30-50% off the retail price. You may even be able to find people who're making group purchases on some local forums.

> A year on, I think it was a very good investment.

Ten or eleven years on here: have I think a bit more than a year left on the 12-years warranty. Looks brand new. Nothing has moved. When it came, there was a booklet (or a PDF?) explaining how to set it up: took me 30 minutes to set it up and since then, I never had to change the settings once.

It's not suitable for people used to cross their legs then and kinda sit on their legs (I had a roommate doing that).

The most common complain with the Aeron is that the frame pushes too hard on the back of the thighs but I don't get it: too me it's an improperly set up chain as I'm only in contact with the (amazing) pellicle mesh.

I love that chair. In the US it's very easy to find refurbished ones as good as new at a big discount. In Europe it's doable but not at easy.

If that chair dies before me, I'll immediately rebuy one.

EDIT: a "trick", I think explained in the official doc: the recommended setting (but you do what you want) is that the chair has to lean back if you put both your arms behind your head and then lean forward again when you extend your hand in front of you (for example reaching for your keyboard).
And natural determinacy, if you can get it, speeds up processing more than indeterminacy. The useful question is “what's the lowest-level model I can usefully use?”, not “can I do it with indeterminacy?”.

Do you think the above statement is wrong? If so, why?
What I am talking about is the approval to build the first version of the reactor. The demo reactor. Imagine if one had to wait four years and spend half a billion dollars to get approval of your design of a windmill (not windmill farm) before you could even build the first one to see how well it would work. Progress on windmill design would be slow.

Actually building the power plant with the reactor at a specific location is a different problem.

TN panels are still very popular. On those, elements displayed on screen very easily lose contrast when looking at them at an angle.

Back when ads were actually a different background color on Google, I suspect they A/B tested background colors right up to the point that they disappeared on cheap TN laptops. I experienced this first hand when helping a friend with their laptop 5-10 years ago, and they clicked on an ad by mistake. Turned out that the ad background turned white at normal laptop viewing angles.
A recent Fedora install here came with a new default of BTRFS use rather than ext4. So i'm curious about your experience, were any of those catastrophic failures recent? Do you know of any patches entering the kernel that purport to fix the issues you experienced?

That’s true for OP’s case, but many people get their taste of Aerons for free, supplied by their employer in their office. The generally ecstatic response to them is genuine.
Thanks for the thoughtful response, and you're absolutely right, the current legal system is designed to handle all these. Right now, Oracles are also way more complex to build, and they can't handle the nuances of meeting X specification in a way that's simple and easy to do.

To be clear, that doesn't mean that a simple solution will never be created. Obviously we think it will, but that doesn't mean we're right.

But to address a slightly different part of your framing, our situation actually got more complicated when attempting to go the legal route. We suddenly had additional lawyer, collections, and time costs associated with the process...and we still never managed to collect. That's certainly an area where the current legal system fails (for a lot of people!).

Cryptocurrencies might not be the perfect alternative, but they are an alternative that, in our opinion, is exciting to explore.

> It was late.

> PRC scholars warned new HK generations would culturally drift 10+ years ago.

Data suggests that the drift of HK generations [1] in the past two decades are swayed by what happened in China: Hong Kong people identified themselves more as Chinese during 2008 (especially during the Beijing Olympics), less so after being denied universal suffrage despite promises in the Basic Law (the Umbrella Movement in 2013), and when Hong Kong people started to accept TikTok (Douyin) and the like from China, Hong Kong once again diverged from China after 2019 (the extradition Law, its opposing protests, and the Covid-19 outbreak starting in Wuhan).

> The fact that HK has existed in a national security state of exception for 20+ years... For CCP, resetting HK culture is the anecdote that was long recognized but administered too late.

What you said explains a lot why Hong Kong people, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and others alike, want to distance themselves from China: CCP does not want diversity and inclusion, that the perceived security (of the party) trumps everything else. CCP wants control, not better governance or de facto long term security, which requires leaving minorities alone. To govern by doing nothing that goes against nature, as in Taoism, is an ancient tradition of China that CCP does not get.

> Apple Daily's Jimmy Lai met with Pompeo & Pence during height of US/PRC rivalry (read: treason) is just one of the many symptoms of why this crack down was overdue.

This explains very well what I mean.

The meeting of Jimmy Lai with Pompeo and Pence did not pose any material threat to national security or the security of CCP—after all, in this information age, the US can learn what they need to learn without such meetings, so the meeting is largely symbolic, and to reduce such information flow CCP can only rely on a Great-Firewall-style censorship in Hong Kong, which is considered unacceptable by many. To consider such immaterial meetings as treason shows sheer insecurity (paranoid) of CCP, and this insecurity is what brings its de factor insecurity, because it is worrying too much and overreacting.

That's actually one thing Nintendo devs in general seem to be really good at. I don't think i've ever really played a first party Nintendo game that had an outright tutorial but they're always pretty easy to pick up and figure out.
Idiots is the wrong word. They've achieved a state of the art knowledge. An idiot wouldn't get there. The problem is, most of them stopped at that. And state of the art moved on.
Check out https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete it's quite easy. Works like a game. User needs just an openstreetmap account.
Another great example is "A Dark Room" - a game in which the mechanics are introduced one by one in such a smooth way that no tutorial is ever needed.

edit to add a link: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com it's a very simple free game that (last I checked) can be completed in an hour or two.

This proposal is not practical. Refused.
But they might not be able to reach people who are hidden under the rubble of a collapsed building, for example. Ideally the drones would be built using nanotechnology, allowing them to be so small that they're almost invisible. Of course, coordinating their movements would require quite a powerful AI...
China has been undergoing a slow transformation into a destination for immigrants for a long time now (https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/inflow-of-international-i...), but permanent residency has not become easier. They've made policy changes to attract and retain highly-skilled labor previously (https://america.cgtn.com/2019/08/22/china-implements-new-imm...). However, the actual volume of permanent residency granted is still very low (https://thediplomat.com/2019/12/the-us-china-tech-wars-china...). More recent proposals to relax immigration policies have also led to xenophobic backlash (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/13/china-permanent-residency-pr...) so it may be difficult for them to make change quickly or to attract foreigners.
> ... but I've had to replace the front pad every 5 years as they flatten over time.

Would that be the pad behind your (upper) back? I never replaced anything on mine in 10/11 years but I may have not been paying attention. I'll definitely check for any flattened pad when I get back from vacation (they seem super cheap to replace moreoever).

I guess I lucked out... I bought an Aeron on-line (on-sale) directly from the factory in Medium (because I'm medium). Most comfortable, adjustable chair I've ever had. It has two kinds of castors, for hard or carpeted floors. I have hard, so I ordered those castors. I roll back and forth between my desk and my workbench constantly, fast, and it brings a smile to my face.

Also, this is the only chair I've had whose height adjustment is rock solid. All the others, which were not as comfortable to begin with, started to leak after a few years.
No, as decentralization merely complicates onboarding users while not really solving anything and creating new problems. The fediverse will still be nice for an alternative social media/blog sphere.

My guess is something will pop up with good UX and rules, that a critical mass moves to. Something akin to lemmy, but centralized.
To add to this, depending on the amplifier design you might get better linearity (less harmonic distortion) by significantly overprovisioning power.

the problem i always had with dotnet was

- why dotnet when java exists?

then GO came to the party and completely deprecated both java/dotnet, at least to me, i never looked back

- native AOT compiled executable

- 1 small file

- ultra fast compile time

- great ecosystem

for all my backend needs, it's GO

with dotnet everything feels heavy, ancient and bloated, msbuild and their xml for their projects, when you need to add some logic things becomes unreadable with XML logic, it's a mess, their json attempt wasn't great either, it was just JSON vs XML, they should have went with C#, build.cs, that's it

then you have deployment, it's MUCH MUCH easier than with java and with their jar/classpath bullshit, but it still is a bloat, it's a DLL mess

and let's not even talk about how everything is attached to microsoft

even their WASM effort isn't called WASM, you can't target a WASM module, it's BLAZOR, with MONO (why mono still exist when you have dotnet core? i have no clue, it adds to the bloat sentiment), wether you like it or not, it's BLAZOR, wich sucks because i wan't to handle hosting my way, from the beginning they vendor lock you

Exactly! While most click bait has interesting titles, not all interesting titles are clickbait. So many people seem to want headlines to be merely an 80 character summary of the article. That’s fine on articles of news - “so and so has died”, “Country declares war on Country Y”. Or in tutorials. But in pieces of writing we are reading mostly for leisure there’s no reason for it to have such a matter-of-fact title.

For me clickbait is hyper-sensationalised, usually misleading, and typically the article doesn’t deliver what the title says it will. None of those three attributes are true of this title or article.
That would be a straight-up, avoidable software/hardware bug: The incoming timestamp is incorrect, and garbage in is garbage out.

That would make me curious how the timestamp error occurred: software, hardware? Camera or Navigation code? I assume they have very high standards, what was the process failure point?
I also am suffering from something similar. I have the working theory it's from extreme burnout but do not know for sure. I would tremendously appreciate if you shared what you found to help?
Does anyone else feel like it's almost always a pickup truck? This article^[1] that I found a while back claims occupants of a car are 2.5 times more likely to die in a collision with a pickup truck than another car.

Yes, the US drives more. But there's also room for improvement compared to the safest countries.

One guess I can make for the "hate" BTRFS gets is probably because everyone loves their data and doesn't expect to "fight" with a file system to get access to it.

E.g. Sailfish OS is perhaps the only mobile OS I know that uses / used BTRFS in production (and they adopted it nearly 6-7 years ago!). And some of its users have had issues with BTRFS in the earlier versions - https://together.jolla.com/questions/scope:all/sort:activity... ... in fact, I too remember that once or twice, we had to manually run the btrfs balancer before doing an OS update. For Sailfish OS on Tablet Jolla even experimented with LVM and ext4, and perhaps even considered dropping BTRFS. (I don't know what it uses for newer versions of Sailfish OS now - I think it allows the user to choose between BTRFS or LVM / EXT4).

Most users consider a file system (be it ZFS or BTRFS) to be a really low-level system software with which they only wish to interact transparently (even I got anxious when I had to run btrfs balancer on Sailfish OS the first time worrying what would happen if there was not enough free space to do the operation and hoping I wouldn't lose my data). Even on older systems, everybody frustrated over the need to run a defragmenter.

Perhaps because of improper expectations or configurations, some of the early adopters of BTRFS got burnt with it after possibly even losing their precious data. It's hard to forget that kind of experience and thus perhaps the "continuing hate" you see for BTRFS - a PR issue that BTRFS' proponents needs to fix.

(It's interesting to see the progress BTRFS has made. Thanks to your post, I may consider it for future Linux installations over EXT4. Except for the hands-on tinkering it required once or twice, I remember it as being rock-solid on my Sailfish mobile.)

I would guess it's even worse, maybe 1-5% of doctors truly understand the underlying physiology and will holistically look at all of the information. Most doctors I've met use population heuristics and published guidelines, and if you have something rare they just throw stuff at the wall instead of trying to understand it.

They made a series of patches that allow games to utilize one of the SNES enhancement chips on various games. A fun example was using it in Super Mario World (notoriously minimal slowdown), where the enhancement reduced the slowdown from the end of level where the black circle encloses on Mario. That's actually a bit of slowdown rather than an effect.
In the theoretical universe where banning crypto is possible, yes it would stop almost all ransomware of the scale we see reported in news today.

There's just no other form of payment which would work for them. You can't easily go "can I have $50k worth of giftcards" and on the receiving side you can't easily validate or sell millions of them without tanking the value. Any kind of wire transfer would expose the source immediately at that scale. There's only so much money you can move through services that give you kickbacks of various kinds. What else is left?

Basically unless ransomware teams know of a new really good way of laundering money without a trail, or are happy to take a massive pay cut, that would be the end of most of their operations.
