> Wait, then why don't they just switch over each component in turn? The "divide and conquer" debugging strategy.

It's better to understand the problem than to just start changing stuff hoping you find the right thing even systematically. There's not a huge rush to fix this since it's the payload computer and the telescope is still being maintained by other systems. A lot bad could happen, if the switching system is flakey you could maybe get stuck in a bad system, or if there's a number of faults you might damage one of the backups. Without the shuttle there's not a plan to service it any more so why take the risk rushing through to the most simplistic debugging method?

No, it's not a good thing. It's people wasting years of their prime life in a pointless institution.
This project deserves huge credit for the excellent tutorial that it opens up to on first launch. It basically opens to an example sheet that you can read and then try out all the basic functionality in place. It's fun, and quickly shows you what the tool is capable of. You don't need to watch a separate video, and you don't feel overly "controlled" like so many over-engineered tutorials that force you to do A,B,C in the order someone decided was correct.

I think this is a great approach. Many people want to "just try it" and this allows you to do that and also get an explanation at the same time.
> Then why are student loans (in the US) the only loans not dischargable in bankruptcy?

In the US, the loans are overwhelmingly made through the Federal system, not by universities.
This is an app I started in 2008, and at the time getting the speed of native was important to me. I work with very large "sheets"

I also wanted to get to something which could be useable for me as quickly as possible, which at the time for me meant a native app. I also wanted local file storage etc.

Agreed that in 2021 you could probably make this work as a webapp, though I think it would still be a challenging engineering exercise to make it fast.
So does this also mean that the ISS is no longer able to get serviced, or are there projects to work on in-orbit service vehicles?
They are not orthogonal. If you can install Linux, then you can sideload apps on macOS. It might involve invasive XNU patching with a hex editor, but it can be done.

It's not that involved, by the way. There's a command that you run to turn off gatekeeper [1].

As long as it costs money, it's about value for money. If you're willing to give it to me for free, great, then we can kick back and speculate on how it improves me as a person (consider, however, there are MANY things in this world that improve people, and a lot of them don't cost tens of thousands of dollars at the low end.)

Until then, it's about value for money.
Their systems either work like that by intention or as a side effect. Perhaps they get more engagement by showing me content I don’t like.

I grew frustrated enough to entirely stop using Facebook around 2016. I would unfollow, block, hide posts and indicate lack of interest in anything political, and then the next items on the next refresh would be the same sort of political topics from people I didn’t even know were on my friends list. Meanwhile, the content I actually wanted to see such as conversation and events in the life of my friends hardly ever came up.

I assume that Facebook’s system is sophisticated enough to conclude that if I have hidden, removed friends, and blocked people repeatedly as actions related to certain political posts that I don’t wish to see more of the same.

Oh yeah, that's definitely true!

I just get tired of seeing resume formats constantly cycling every year around some vague "trend". People adding headers and sections to their resumes outside of a simple straightforward standard, weird resume advice blogs and on YouTube are probably just desperate for constant content.

“Labor vs. management?” Tech workers get paid salaries that literally put them in the 1% income bracket. Like give me a break people. We do work. Work isn’t all roses and sunshine.

I always suspected tech people live in an extremely privileged bubble but holy cow did this last year really open my eyes to how detached they are.
My guess is that apps written in java/kotlin are easy to run in a x86 compatible android runtime.

The difficulty is for native code, the arm libraries embedded in many apps.
Actually most Android app depends on native libs. For image processing for example. Nearly all games are using native arm binaries.

The sentence you quoted is probably related to native code only, which is the difficult part.
It looks like they have some magic tricks to make them work on x86 architecture with having to recompile the libs.

Intel used the same tricks in their x86 android devices a few years ago, you could run arm native code on their x86 android versions transparently.
Not defending cookies - but I just don't think most of the rest of the world cares. Outside of the tech bubble that really cares, I'm not sure I know a single non-tech person that, other than 'the popup', even knows what a cookie is (let alone gives a damn). 99% of my non-tech friends/relatives are just bored of 'the box thing that comes up every time you visit a website'. No one it them and everyone just clicks the quickest button ('Accept All') to just get on with whatever they were trying to look at.
Looks like KDE with fixed magins :)
I understand it in this way: you will find all Android apps published in the Amazon store also inside the Windows Store. So there is no need for republishing all Android apps to the windows store.

They partnered with Amazon. Google probably wasn’t helpful in integrating the play store.
Downvotes can mean that your position is unassailable. More often, though, it means that we think your position is stupid, but it's not worth the time it would take to explain why. Other times it means that we think you're being a jerk, whether or not your position is correct.

"Unassailable"? "Not everyone can deal with reality"? "Lower minds"? As Jane Austin said, "You tell yourself that if it gives you comfort."

I'm sure we can have both. A call for collective action and change through regulation or legislation.

For many it would be very easy to just cut down on social media or stop altogether and find alternatives for the few things that are good about fb. I did it and I surely don't have any more willpower than the average person. For the rest, let's help them make the right choice to break the circle of addiction, talk to your friends, talk to your family, maybe reconsider what's important for you and whether you need that job at a company that makes many people's lives miserable even if it pays well.
On top of that, let's try to convince lawmakers to introduce legislation and regulation. You need to do all the things, and everybody needs to, otherwise nothing will change.

Hoping that the class included that nugget of wisdom. That being said, being wildly inaccurate with a hunting rifle isn't usually a problem, especially if the sights are calibrated correctly. A handgun however, is pretty dangerous when you don't know how to aim it.

I believe biggest sink for glucose are portions of brain that cannot use ketones for fuel.

As to yeast -- that's right, that is exactly the point. Rather than eat yeast extract which is basically proteins and nothing else, I would take a look at a small amounts of broth in daily diet. It is possibly safer (people can survive on broth alone so small dose of it daily shouldn't be a problem) and it tends to contain a lot of useful stuff for the organism.

It is not strictly zero calorie diet but I think if your aim is health this is probably for the best rather than seeking ideal of zero calories.

> students just don't actually put in the necessary work to achieve those skills

While obviously this does happen, I think degrees do teach valuable skills and many students put in obscene levels of work to learn the material, resulting in ever-increasing competition for basically every facet of the job market - from university admissions all the way through job interviews. To me the issue isn’t students not understanding the true value of their education (and who could blame them? How is a 20 year old to know why their professor planned things out the way he did or why they are not learning Python as the blogosphere insists?). The real issue is that - like the article said - the benefits of this extra work seem marginal. Either way you will be competing against hundreds for entry level software development jobs with the greatest discriminator being referrals and prior industry experience. Whether you put in 8 extra hours a week to truly understand Dijkstra doesn’t get you much in the way of an interview.

Starship.rs: Rust-based Cross-Shell Prompt
Two major mistakes I made on that fast.

1) I was drinking too much water. During the early phases I was up to 5 to 7 liters per day, now I keep it around 3 to 3.5 liters unless I'm on my feet or sweating quite frequently. Too much water can be just as bad (or worse) than not enough.

2) Doing salt only (probably combined with the excess water intake) was demonstrably stupid. Now I supplement sodium/magnesium/potassium every day on an extended fast. I personally shoot for around 3k/2k/1k mg daily of each of those. Do not take them all at once, they'll go right through you. Remember 3k mg sodium is roughly 7k mg table salt. Avoid Magnesium Oxide, shoot for Chelated Magnesium or Magnesium Citrate, they have much better bio-availability. This may seem excessive for electrolytes, but I think it's a good starting point regardless of body size, and the solution to it being 'too much' is 'just drink water'.

One Minor mistake -- I'd keep my diet much less full of junk leading in to the fast. That 60 days started over an argument with my significant other about about weather to cook two pizza's or one, and beer was involved, so... let's just say I didn't have the cleanest of slates going into the fast the next day.

Other than that, I'd take better notes, journal more, and test my bloodwork more frequently -- both with my ketone meter and in a lab by professionals.
I'd also say that this past year was a bad example of remote. Of course remote isn't going to work for an org that is used to everyone in office up until March 2020. You break everyone out of so many habits - no more commute time, no more prepared food, no more professionally cleaned workspace, no "built-in" work/home separation. Those factors alone are going to bottom out productivity while people figure things out.

Remote really requires a specific type of person, and a curated environment. Having a "place' separated just for work is a huge boon, and many people used to going into an office just don't have that. I think that is ultimately why orgs built around remote work perfectly fine - the people working there are already in the habit of creating their work/home separation, used to making their own meals, used to keeping their own desk clean (Without outside social pressure to do so.)
You don't collectively use facebook less, you just use facebook less. Things that are collective actions require some sort of coordination and planning.

Has the iOS apps on M1 Macs incentivised developers to do anything, apart from just opt out of the program?
I always thought, this tool is best if used regularly, optimally daily. So you mentally stay inside the required workflow thinking and keep the shortcut memory fresh. Also to mention, it has a very good startup tutorial, which is good for first-time users, but also useful if you need a refresher on a certain topic.

But I never thought that "easy to get into" was a priority during development. Which is totally ok for me,
> The problem with US media is not the bias (and indeed there are plenty that go ridiculously far to be "fair" to both sides), but the laziness.

After Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016, I heard a discussion on NPR where they talked about failures of the coverage of the primaries [1]. There were a lot of candidates in the Republican primaries: besides Trump there was Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, and a few others.

The reporters in the field covering each candidate would send in items, both positive and negative, about all the candidates.

For all the candidates except Trump, they were seeing about the same ratio of positive to negative. For Trump, the ratio of positive things he did/said to negative things was quite a bit lower than that of other candidates.

The editors and producers had an implicit assumption that all candidates would be about the same in this regard and so killed a lot of the negative Trump items so as to keep in line with the number of negatives for the other candidates.

It wasn't until after Trump had locked up the nomination that they realized that Trump really did do/say more negative newsworthy things than the others, and that in trying to avoid bias or the appearance of bias they had actually introduce a pro-Trump bias.

[1] For those not familiar with the US system, each major party holds elections to determine who its nominees will be, and then those nominees compete with the nominees from the other parties in the general election.

This has not been my experience. Introverts or Extroverts has nothing to do with whether someone will champion an idea. That’s a doer / talker distinction.

You have to be effective in managing people. Maybe some people like to socialize an idea in their in group before they find someone to champion it. Maybe others like to write up their thoughts and share the doc on chat. Maybe others like to whiteboard it out after talking to someone at the bar.

But all of them actively push change.

Banning Surveillance-Based Advertising
You're quibbling about minor details. Khan was head of a belief system: believe and help him and you might not die. He and his men wanted the tundra cleared of cities. He did it.

nine_k says>""An empire has to be somehow tolerant towards differences between the many nations it consumes. The process of assimilation, even if forced, can and usually does take centuries."<

Khan didn't assimilate, he destroyed. Only after his death and the end of his generation of warriors, was his former empire "assimilated" by groups lucky(?) enough to be alive.

The words "tolerant" and "assimilation" have no place when speaking of the advancement of Gengis Khan's armies out of Mongolia.

Just like "faith systems" today have no tolerance, accept no "repentance" and refuse "assimilation".
It's not a DAG though, it is purely a tree (no shared children). There are no cell addresses.

This is the thinking that got us:

1) the mess that is DRM, whether for software or media, and

2) to the point of 10-step windows activation (including phone calls and having to reinstall because one version only takes retail keys and another only takes oem keys and another only uses network auth), and

3) video games that try and re-authenticate between every frame of play

And tons of other "fixes" that just punish users and don't really deter bad behavior.

Software is bad enough; we shouldn't need to authenticate our exhaust system before recycling it.
Stable Bidirectional Infinite Scroll
https://cathykc.github.io/bx-stable-infinite-scroll/

We struggled to find an existing package that gave us a stable bidirectional infinite scroll out of the box. Users of dispatch.do are often dropped in the middle of a feed and we needed to load historical as well as more recent data without shifting the view.

I thought Modi and RSS were already fascists according their detractors but 'turning fully fascist' is a thing for me.

The first rule of UX design, as far as I'm concerned, is: Don't make me think.

Moving stuff around? You just made me think. You'd better have a good reason for that, better than just "it will play better on touch devices". I'm not on a touch device, so you just slowed me down to solve a problem that I don't have.
There exists just-as-factual non-corporate media. I think Democracy Now! is a good example. Yeah, it's very biased, but I think it's factual reporting.
If low volume is a problem for manufacturers because you don't need that much, the obvious solution is to increase volume by selling them. Of course that would introduce even more problems to solve, but at least volume wouldn't be one of them.

TIL that many people seem to follow Ben Shapiro. That makes me sad, most he does is talk fast and put people down.
Because something funny happens to organism on fast and it starts conserving absolutely everything. So what is recommended amount during "normal operation" is probably too much while your organism is in emergency preservation mode.

Now, fast is no magic, the organism still uses up stores of various chemicals, just slower, so it still can "run out" of some things even if it still has a bunch of fat available for energy.

One way organism can preserve chemicals is the simple fact it no longer has to digest stuff and then expell a lot of waste products. All of this is normally huge drag on your body, mostly on your liver. When on fast, that process is no longer necessary (mostly) and your liver gets much more efficient at the smaller number and volume of metabolic pathways.

So when you are on fast and drop a vitamin, your body has not much else to do and will be very efficient at incorporating those vitamins into your body when normally most of these vitamins would not be used because the pathways necessary would be busy doing something else.

It is also really funny to observe you can be not eating anything but still poop for at least a weak.
So in a world full of introverts no ideas would ever be shared?

Apple claims 'sideloading' apps is 'serious' security risk
"Every day, consumers are exposed to extensive commercial surveillance online. This leads to manipulation, fraud, discrimination and privacy violations. Information about what we like, our purchases, mental and physical health, sexual orientation, location and political views are collected, combined and used under the guise of targeting advertising."

Completely agree that commercial surveillance should end.

However, ending surveillance-based advertising is not enough to end manipulation, as that's one of the primary goals of most advertising, even when surveillance is not involved.

Instead, we should go further and end all unsolicited advertising.
