Disclaimer: I'm live in the Santa Cruz area and visit Cupertino at least once a week.

Cupertino might not be the most active place in terms of things to do, especially regarding nightlife (which the most exciting thing is probably getting donuts at the 24/7 donut place on De Anza south of Apple's old headquarters). However, Cupertino has an amazing selection of Asian restaurants that you can't find in most American suburbs. We're talking authentic Taiwanese, Chinese, and Japanese restaurants. One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area is Ajito on Bollinger Road near De Anza Blvd, which is a Japanese izakaya that specializes in chicken-based dishes. I go there regularly, and during the pandemic I bought take-out hot bento boxes, which are delicious! Another one of my favorite restaurants in Cupertino is a Taiwanese restaurant on Wolfe across the street from Apple's new headquarters called Southland Flavor Café. It has some of the best shrimp fried rice I've ever tasted this side of the Pacific!

I wish most American suburbs had the collection of Asian restaurants that Cupertino has. But outside of the Bay Area and Los Angeles, most American suburbs don't have that extensive of a collection.
I feel that her case is exactly what presidential pardons are about.

Otherwise, write to whatever lawmaker represents you to talk about it, to ask for a change of law and to support asylum for her if she ever asks it. But for now Russia seems to protect her.
You are allowed to keep thinking as long as you have time on your clock. Isn't really considered good sportsmanship but is legal.

Recent instances I saw was an adult was in an almost-lost position with over an hour on the clock while his opponent had 10 minutes. He let his clock run down to nothing and then played quickly before finally let the clock run to zero in a lost (mate in 2) position. He got mocked for this in the local forums.

Also common for a kid to do a blunder and then sit there sad/crying for an hour. You try to encourage them to resign though.

I assume the original comment is (not perfectly accurately) talking about the rules under 10.2
Scientists are indeed moving slowly in that direction. It seems you are under the mistaken belief that they complain without doing anything about it. The fact that someone is vocally unhappy with a flawed status quo, does not mean they are not doing something about it. However, the issue with status quos is that it takes time to change them. Why are you ranting even after being shown examples of scientists doing exactly what you want them to do?

Also, it is indeed the presence of very selective peer review that is a big part of "prestige". This is why free community driven open access journals are slowly overtaking the old journals. The price of a journal publication does not correlate much with the prestige. There are even examples of reverse correlation.
Hn.premii.com used to be a nice two column implementation but now it can never load article content.
Yeah that’s fair. Not sure about you, but in the past I’ve struggled with keeping Jest module-level mocks in sync with their actual interface. Was playing around with how I could get around it and this is something I came up with.
Inaccuracy. I grew up in Houston and it's about 50 miles inland from the sea and about 45 to 50 feet above current sea level. New Orleans and Miami are much lower. Galveston and Bolivar ? Sorry, but the price is too high.
How about that: starting a campaign to nominate her to a nobel prize. I am not sure at which she would qualify the most, but I am sure there are no shortage of academics to sing her praises (this is a condition for nomination)

China built tens of thousands of km of high speed rail for 350km/h. Largely using prefab elevated tracks, with occasional tunnels.

> And somehow the entropy always flows up to supervisors. At 0400 (4am) Sunday morning I took over a watch from my boss. All the junior people are at home enjoying their flexible work schedules while the two senior people on the team end up covering the long shifts nobody else wants.

This hits home for me. I briefly worked at a company that tried to allow infinite flexibility in working hours. The flexibility quickly became a tool to avoid meetings and be conveniently unavailable whenever work needed to be done.

Like you said, it falls on a few people to get the work done after everyone else has flex scheduled their way into only being available at odd hours. Managers were afraid to drag people back into work or force specific working hours because the employees could complain that their managers weren't allowing flexible schedules.

It eventually turned into a mix of some people who were working all of the time to get things done and other people who were almost never working. Then it was abandoned.

It's much better to have some core, overlapping work hours that everyone is required to attend unless they have special circumstances (doctor's appointment, for example). Then let everyone choose flexible working hours before or after that time. Infinite freedom is too ripe for abuse at scale.

Ian Knot is dope! Once I learned this existed I was really stoked about tying my shoes for like a week or two, as idiotic as that sounds. Not only is it pretty quick and eliminates stuck knots frustrating untying attempts, which is fine I guess, but it is actually better than whatever the hell I was doing before.

I've felt embarrassed if my shoes became untied, its just kind of unbecoming. Ever tie your shoes and the damn knot goes sideways, with the loops coming from the top and bottom? Well here's the cure to all of your knot compulsions.

Notice just below the instructions on TFA:

NOTE: If your finished knot comes out crooked, it's probably because you tie your Starting Knot the opposite way to mine. This will result in an un-balanced “Granny Knot”, which both sits crooked and comes undone more easily. See my Granny Knot page for more information.

The Ian Knot is great because the knot works properly wrt how the strings pull against each other. He also explains how and why to have loops and strings come out the sides perfectly, and with the knot round shoe laces like on dress shoes, leather laces, work boots, whatever will basically never come undone.

Good knot, and really easy. It'll take you about 15 minutes to master, an hour or so if you have poor dexterity.

Where are you coming up with these numbers 20-40 Mbps for a single video stream?

That's insane. Like I mentioned in another comment, high-quality rips of 1080p movies tend to be 5 Mbps, and that's generally with a lot more detail and motion than what your camera is filming at home.

There's really no point in 1080p streaming video above Zoom's 3.8 Mbps. Even that's already overkill which is why almost nobody uses it. While the "20 mbps" you're talking about is beyond the threshold of lossless for human perception, and 40 is beyond that.

And beyond it? There's virtually no use for 4K video in personal communications, nobody wants to see the pores in your nose. It's not about technological limitation, it's about use cases. And a 20 mbps uplink handles the real life situations of most families and roommates just fine, when you use actual real numbers and not the ones you're just making up.
Being able to write a blog about it is a great reason to try something, cheers
It seems to depend on the starting knot maintaining tension, which I have never experienced.

> The people who write books on here (and then have to fight to keep people from doing on demand pirating of them) would be given a big shrug when they try to go after them in court for copyright infringement

Do any authors of books actually manage to prosecute piracy in a way that makes them money? As best I can tell, artists lose money paying for lawyers to litigate supposedly lost sales, but whether they actually lose sales is very questionable.

> The photographs that I took and have up on the web (all rights reserved) could be printed and sold without me seeing a dime.

Yup, which is good! You put them up on the web without expectation of making a dime, right? Cool. Your expectations are fulfilled, and someone gets a cool image too.

> trying to remove copyrights completely disincentives people who are creating material that is protected with copyright from sharing their material

And yet, the majority of people who post instagram images and tik-tok videos don't even realize their work is protected by copyright I'd wager, but they're still happy to share their material.

People who write open source code apply such a license specifically because they want to share the material more broadly than copyright would normally allow.

If removing copyright means that we end up with fewer people who are seeking a profit producing content and then praying on others who share and remix it, that seems good to me. We have plenty of people who are willing to produce content and be happy when other people enjoy it, use it, and share it.

If I wrote a book, I would be overjoyed to have people read it and copy it to share with their friends. It seems like a very dark mindset to think that a profit-motive is the primary reason someone might produce anything.

ten hour days are hard for me—I start fading at the 7th hour

I do love a four-day work week, but with 8-hour days, and I've been lucky enough to pull that off for the last 15 years. There's a downside though: it makes switching jobs much more difficult because few companies want to hire someone who only works 4 days/week.
> My job is such that I roll in whenever I want, leave whenever I want. As long as I get my work done, nobody cares how long I actually work each day

Most of my tech jobs have been flexible hours.

However, it helps to have core working hours. For example, one of my favorite companies didn't care when or where you worked most of the time, but we all had to be present for an 11AM meeting every day and available for a few hours after that. Some people worked early and left early. Others showed up right at 11AM and then worked into the evening. We could always schedule necessary meetings around lunch, or just go to lunch together because we were already together.

Companies that get too flexible with schedules turn into a communication mess, unless they really do have units of work that can be done asynchronously and in isolation.

While I appreciate the drive to find more effective agents to treating COVID, we don't have anything approved and widely available that's more than mildly effective.

So get vaccinated.

I see Facebook anti-vax campaigns latch onto a new miracle cure every few months to convince themselves that the vaccine isn't worth getting.

The truth is, it's unlikely we will ever have a treatment anywhere near as effective as the vaccine. With how effective the vaccines are in preventing severe illness, there's little money or reason to persue other options.

Historically, viruses with effective vaccines rarely if ever have good treatments developed afterwards. And if we do, like with several flu drugs, the virus develops complete resistance rapidly. So don't count on it. Get vaccinated.

It doesn't seem to be all that uncommon to read about a building collapse, or fire, somewhere in the world. Invariably one learns about some kind of corruption in the process.

Fortunately the cases I know about haven't been life threatening, but there have been road construction projects in my town in the US, that had to be torn up and re-done at the contractor's expense because they missed some crucial specification such as the required thickness of the materials, and the roads started to crumble and buckle.

I worked at Apple for 3 and a half years, leaving a few years ago.

I think the thing to remember about Cook is that he’s a process and money guy, previously being the COO. I don’t think anyone at Apple would call him a “visionary” like they said about Jobs; that’s just not his style.

However the repercussions of this were pretty clearly felt, at least by me and my organization. We were tasked with a monumental infrastructure undertaking while continuing to support production use cases, and we were running as a skeleton crew for a lot of it, because getting headcount to hire more was such a heavily scrutinized process.

So I ended up on a team of 3 people maintaining 3 separate server components. It was honestly sort of brutal.

And I know Jobs was also famous for working people hard, but he had the charisma to make it have purpose. We were under Tim, and then under Eddy, who are… not the most charismatic fish in the sea. It really just felt like we were being pushed needlessly hard when hiring one or two more people would have made a massive difference and improved the overall development cadence and quality.

> Operationally, knowing how the system will react to extreme conditions might be more valuable than being a little more optimal.

With today's systems, we typically have neither.
That’ll be a problem regardless – if the client provides an idempotency-key but the server doesn’t use it, it’ll reprocess on retry. Under this spec, the client needs to check server docs to figure out if/when/how idempotency keys are used.

The weird part of calling them idempotency keys is that seperate requests will often fall in the same idempotent group.

EG: If traffic lights were controlled over HTTP, a pedestrian pressing the crossing button 20 times in a row would create 20 distinct requests which would need 20 distinct idempotency keys. But pressing the button once is the same as pressing it 20 times.

We track hours at my job but it’s not anything super granular. We have to bill clients for hours, so we track them ourselves but it basically comes down to getting 40 hours-worth of work done each week. I basically just figure out what percent of each day I spent on each project and apportion my timecard appropriately.

While it’d be nice to not track, it works well enough. I make hourly but can work as much (or as little) as I want each week as long as most is spent on billable work.
What I have observed in software development companies is that there is no limit where one can say, "My work is done". When one task is complete, there is another one ready to pick up. So, the only way to stop working for a day is to track your hours and say, "I have worked for 8 hours today and I will pause the work until tomorrow".

What field and role are you working in, where you can roll in whenever you want and leave whenever you want and yet complete your work in fewer than the total assigned work hours per day?

> Having a for-kids course isn’t bad... forcing your kids into it sure is.

As anyone who has been to one of these Bay Area high schools can tell you, it’s not so much forcing your kids into something that is the problem (plenty of parents do this all across the country for a variety of things). I think the high schools themselves have a massive culture problem where kids who really should just be doing things they find enjoyable in their free time feel like they have to do so many things they don’t enjoy just to keep up with everyone else. Even at 13, I’m sure many kids had drank the kool-aid and truly believed that doing that course was helping them get ahead in life. All this attitude does is create a massive rat-race where kids are just trying to get the best CV for college applications. I honestly think this seriously stunts the development of these kids, as no one is doing something just because they find it enjoyable.

Many years ago I tied my shoes with something called Perry's Perpectual knot[1][2], and then haven't had to retie my shoes since.

At worst the knot will get a bit loose from time to time (like maybe once a year), and then it takes a few seconds to tighten it again.

I expect my shoes will fall apart (they're already pretty old) before this knot unties.
