Best comment so far.

The value of "martial" art training is that it gets over the surprise factor.

Dealing with a stranger being in your personal space, grappling with you, pushing you over, and/or hitting you: you don't want an actual attack to be the first time your child experiences any of those.

If the child is somewhat used to those things, she has a chance of thinking clearly enough to make herself a chance to run away. Otherwise the third "F" reflex, freeze, will take over.
I haven't heard of Scream Tracker (ST3) since... the late 1990s. That took me back :)

I remember ripping .MOD files from DOS games and marvelling at how well they were composed/crafted. In particular, I still remember some amazing work by Andrew Sega, aka "Necros" [0].

Are screenshots required for good marketing? Are you the market they are selling to?
I will reply to myself. The cold winter of 1658 froze the Great Belt, and allowed Swedish troups to march over the ice from Jutland to Zealand. This led to Swedish victory over Denmark and the Treaty of Roskilde. This ceded significant territory to Sweden, much of which is Swedish to this day.

That’s only if you take a naive view of IT (which most people do because it’s the lazy approach). Laptops, servers, networks, email boxes, etc. should all be charged back to the departments those are actually being provided to. When you do that, suddenly IT is making a lot of (internal) money, and the business can see where the costs actually are.

IT is also not nearly as expensive as other types of businesses that require huge capital investment, like farming equipment, factory assembly lines, biotech reactors, etc.
I didn't produce this survey. I just know how to compute confidence intervals. I'm not going to regurgitate the Wikipedia article on confidence intervals at you; it's clear that you don't really want to learn how statistics work, and you'd rather feel smug because you surely know better than to consider a survey of your fellow people.
I thought Korean soap operas were good until I read this article. What a whole bunch of unnecessary drama. The W3C always appeared to be one of the most dysfunctional entities in existence, and now the article leaves no question as to why.

Funny this Rosewell guy. "Should web browsers really become implementation mechanisms of specific government regulation?" -- Isn't everything a mechanism of specific government regulation? We seem to have an autocrat in the making here who would prefer the Web existed in isolation of civilization and where he could squeeze out that ad cash unhindered by government regulations. Given that he likes to ask philosophical questions, perhaps he could ask himself why the Web is being regulated in the first place.

It's also funny how in the article, the only people who seem to actually care about privacy are the non-profits advocating for it and the government regulators fighting antitrust.
Bandwidth on AWS has some scary side effects if you're not careful. A former colleague of mine got screwed for this and S3. Backup storage costs? $57 a month. Just the bandwidth fee to do a restore? $450
I am skeptical of the $36/ton claim.

The elephant in the room is that most of the proposed process chemistry does not have the necessary scale. If I need a billion tons of mined mineral per year to make a dent -- the reality for many of these proposals -- and current global production is a few thousand tons, you have a serious practicality problem. Not only would you need to develop those mines and the corresponding power generation facilities to manufacture the chemicals (which is energy intensive), we may not have the necessary mineral reserves. Addressing these all require massive amounts of capital investment that are not included in the cost per ton of the process at current scales. Buying a liter of water has completely different economics than buying a trillion liters of the same water, and the cost is always calculated as if it was the former case.

While recycling of reactant chemicals is always a part of these proposals, they are typically only ~90% efficient as designed (each marginal increase in recycling efficiency tends to be exponentially more expensive). At the scales involved, that requires billions of tons of reactants being produced that don't exist today. It would be the largest mining and chemical manufacturing endeavor ever undertaken on the planet, starting from zero.
I find that the isolation of Nix/Nixpkgs makes it pretty natural to use it in tandem with Homebrew.

I don't need any CLI tools that aren't in Nixpkgs anymore, so I use Homebrew exclusively as an installer-fetcher-and-runner rather than a source-based package manager (i.e., only for ‘casks’ rather than for ‘formulae’), and the combination is very nice.

Nix similarly plays nice with Pkgsrc and MacPorts, so if you're interested in switching away from Homebrew but unsure about Nix, there's no special work you have to do to install one of those alongside Nix for use as an escape hatch that doesn't involve Homebrew.

> 2. Vaccine side effects show up within weeks if at all

> That is not to say that there have never been safety issues with vaccines. But in each instance, these have appeared soon after widespread use of the vaccine began. "The side effects that we see occur early on and that's it," Goepfert said. In virtually all cases, vaccine side effects are seen within the first two months after rollout.

That is citing the director of the University's Vaccine Research Clinic.
Do they not expect shaming to backfire against the unvaccinated?
IT can be a money sink for finance, under the wrong direction.

I joined a firm recovering from this very problem. The previous IT director spent wildly and justified every purchase to finance who trusted their judgement.
When the bills finally came due it almost put the firm under and the IT director left.

If you have a single serialized+synchronous business context in which activities must be processed, you literally have no other option than to use a single physical core if you want to go fast.

The trick is to minimize the raw amount of bytes that must enter into that synchronous context. Maybe the account disclosure PDFs can be referred to by some GUID token in AWS S3, but the actual decimal account balance/transaction facts should be included in the event data stream.

One other option is to talk to the business and see if you can break their 1 gigantic synchronous context into multiple smaller ones that can progress independently.

This minimum tax is not a separate fee owed on top of the corporate tax. For example California requires S corporations or LLCs electing to be taxed as an S corp to pay a 1.5% franchise tax on income, with a minimum tax of $800

IT reporting to a CFO or a comptroller has been common in my experience.

Understanding the language and process of basic bookkeeping and simple accounting has given me me immense traction with finance people. When I demonstrate even a rudimentary understanding of the metrics and reports finance uses (understanding what financial statements communicate, tax ramifications of CapEx vs OpEx, cost of money, etc) the trust level and willingness to listen goes up tremendously. Stand-offish and distant relationships became more concrete and productive when finance people realize I'm not spouting techno-bullshit for bullshit's (or techno's) sake.

Anybody with serious IT management aspirations in the private sector really should have a reasonable amount of business knowledge. An IT operation, both the in-house and contracted services components, should be considered an internal business unit. It should be evaluated on the expenses it charges-back to the revenue-generating business units, and on the gains in revenue it creates by driving efficiency. Knowing the metrics that finance will use to evaluate an IT operation allows you to make a case for improving those metrics.

An intriguing possibility is that the execution backfires because the Nazi leadership had a war to inspire the public so they didn't really need Hitler, and could make much smarter decisions in his absence, and so the Nazis actually win the war (or at least achieve a settlement in a much smaller war which leaves them still in power). But I guess it's also possible the leading Nazis fight each other like rats in a sack over who takes over, who was to blame for the assassination, what military action to pursue next and why were they going to war alongside the hated communists against everyone else in Europe in the first place, and the whole thing falls apart very quickly.
> They built that value off the back of many other open source products

Would you opinion change if everything in Elasticsearch was in-house?

I think there is a broader question about spirit of open source licensing here. If I'm building a new DB from scratch, should I choose a true open source license and risk giving up competitive advantage in my ability to monetize it, over Amazon-like companies who have the benefit of brand and scale? Or is it okay to just make the code source-available, which is still better than closed-source?

I like the balanced approach some companies are adopting: make the code source-available initially and automatically transition to a open source license after N years.
Interesting take. I used to think that but looking at psychology, things like the "flow" state or the book "Deep Work" there's something to be said about out enjoyment of something and the motivations for why we do them.

When my motivation to do something is money, even if I find whatever I do interesting, I'm only doing it for money. Looking at it differently, if I wouldn't do what I'm doing if I wasn't being paid for it there the motivation is not the activity itself but the result.

Doesn't "careless" and "serious" are opposite to each other? I find that when I'm working on a project that I'm "serious" about the focus/motivation/purpose is not the project but the result. The "serious about it" is usually something outside of the project.

You know, intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation.

On the other side, I'm right now working really hard to be careless an free about a new project that I'm actually serious about, even as I'm working for it to make money, but the only way that I can accomplish that for myself is by approaching the project as an experiment/adventure and after exploring the worst case scenario realizing that even if I lose $x finite amount, I'm fine with that.

It's quite hard for me tho, maybe you have stronger character than I!
Of course a web server could report which cookies are for tracking, and which are for authentication or configuration, instead of doing it within the content.

But so what? The browser has no way to tell if it’s lying.
Transflective displays seem like a dream technology for outdoor and indoor use.

Unfortunately, large displays seem to be unavailable, at least not at anything resembling a reasonable price. I wouldn't mind if it was monochrome in sunlight.
One of the more exciting things in green aviation is "air to fuels". There are companies working on converting atmospheric carbon into hydrocarbons for storage (using renewable energy). Those hydrocarbons can then be used as jet fuel, so it's isn't carbon-negative, but at least it's carbon-neutral. Any hydrocarbons left over that are stored are carbon-negative.
I'm with you. I don't really push myself as a result. If I can do them safely I'm happy.

But as soon as stuff moves that isn't supposed to, I deload. I'm still able to knock out 315lb squats easy.

My original goal was to make thick bones and get muscle while I'm still young. If I can carry lifting into old age, I'm hoping to stay good sized and move around.

The vulgarity of the choosen life path of some people can not be matched by any words.
>There's no reason not to plant trees in addition to everything else we'll need to do to fix this problem.

Yes, there is.
Trees take a up valuable real estate.
As long as people can do something even remotely profitable with land they own, this can not work.
My vulgarity is an expression of frustration in their overall apathy to the consequences of their actions. Forcing people to smother their feelings in the name of 'genteel' discussion does a disservice to those who feel oppressed or misheard. Some things in this world are quite ugly and it is important to portray them as such.

Perhaps you should evaluate why you let mere words affect you so much.

Moreover cheapair, kickstarter, etc actually price in USD, not BTC, bitcoin may be the mean of transport but it’s not the coin being used. Not a “legitimate economy that transacts in bitcoin”
Or maybe they're marking this thing up more than usual for some reason.

I genuinely don't know - the only magnetic charging I have on my 1st gen SE is through a dinky little adapter that plugs into the Lightning port, and since those adapters also come in USB-C and mini-B I can't imagine Apple ever getting close to the kind of interoperability they provide. I'm sure I'll have an iPhone that can do inductive charging at some point, but God alone knows why I'd ever bother using it.
History does repeat itself. All of those issues, and the solution, are the reason CouchDB is modeled the way it is: there's a single endpoint that gives you _all_ events happening in the database, in chronological order, with both document ids and "feed" ids, reachable with long-polling. All of this more than a decade ago already.

I've been through this situation several times as a CTO. CEO's can come off as Jekyll and Hyde, one day shouting at you to hire, hire, hire and then giving you flak about those same hires when things don't go as planned.

I feel like a more applicable use of this IS training wheels - interactive explainables that can bring a topic or a concept to life which can then be applied to a number of different contexts that will then not need specialist software or tooling to facilitate.

this is probably arguing analogies, but i think its worth delving a bit more on the training wheels analogy

the reason i think so is because with training wheels they seem like a shortcut/helpful but actually they actively harm and mislead about how to ride (leaning vs turning) and you become dependent on them and cant really function without them, but if you start out with the bicycle low enough where kids (or even adults) feet can tough the ground easily, they will just naturally put their feet to the ground when they loose balance and (quite quickly) learn to balance and ride much faster than if they ever used training wheels [0]

my claim is that we should help people to program, but not with training wheels but in a way that naturally occurs from using the tool (it goes without saying thst this is _very_ hard to implement)

I’m convinced that a lot of the really annoying cookie prompts are the result of two things:

* paranoia, from small websites that are understandably worried about massive fines that could actually put their one-man-show into the poor house

* retaliation, from large websites that intentionally want to turn public sentiment against privacy laws
I use Bitcoin and there is 0 transaction fee.

I keep spending money in layer 2.
I partially agree but the issue with relying on the producer delivery is that you effectively give up control on what the retry logic is. If it doesn't fit your use case, too bad for you. While ideally every platform would provide those configuration I think it's unreasonable to think all platforms will offer excellent webhook tools & configuration. You better just take things under your own hands.
We expected Form Recognizer would reward the overhead of training and managing custom models with superior performance, but we were disappointed. In our testing, Form Recognizer's accuracy was poor and its response times were way too slow for synchronous use cases.

Ouch.
The largest barrier to human progress is personal greed. It reduces the effectiveness of our governments. It directs our brightest minds toward harmful projects like making addicting apps. Personal greed deforms peoples' attitudes about work, leading them to marginalize those few people who are driven by other motivations.

I think we need to experiment with new political systems. One I am interested in is democracy + communism. I think it's time to start a new city where everyone earns the same salary. I have many ideas for how to start and build the city and make it a great place to live.

You're moving the goalposts... The question is: do you have evidence of legitimate economies transacting in Bitcoin today? The question isn't about potential use cases, it's about data supporting the story that Bitcoin is actually used today to support the exchange of legitimate goods and services.

Again, not links to white papers, ".io" startups, articles filled with "it is revolutionary" and such buzzwords, etc. The hype wagon is getting heavy. Where are the results? Where are the "Use of Bitcoin has been skyrocketing in X market" headlines, where X is not "ransomware"?
Compared to Chrome, Firefox lacks two features for me

1. Native Tab search https://youtu.be/HmWqo4X2IB8

Exactly! When you move the pressure is distributed.
Well, we will never know, but I think it is very likely to have had a huge impact. All sorts of outcomes are possible, from internal Nazi power struggles, leading to more moderate forces taking over and making peace with the west and later in a new alliance against russia, or simply consolidating Nazi germany as a mid european superpower between soviets and the western alliance.
I don't think capitalism assumes profit to be the sole motivation for activity, just that it is the only one that works well for creating cooperation in the large. Almost anyone, regardless of belief system, practices or can conceive of hobbies that are done for the intrinsic enjoyment of the thing. Some hobbies produce goods or services (building models or playing music) but some may not (reading).

What lies at the heart of any economic system is the division of labor as a multiplier of wealth. A hunter-gatherer requires neither communism nor capitalism to motivate if failure to hunt/gather results in starvation. An individual's motivation need not go farther than that. Once you start dividing labor, you also need a way to incentivize people to pick the right labor.

Communism supposes that people will continue to pick valuable jobs (here defined as ones that generate goods and services for the collective) of their own accord. Capitalism says that profit & loss will sort out who is doing what is deemed beneficial by others.

This, if true, does imply something about human nature and not necessarily something good. That doesn't make it more or less true.

It may be so, but the difference can be if the leaders remain in charge or not. Compare Robespierre with Stalin. I think they are similar in many ways, but while the French revolution "ate" Robespierre, Stalin got away and could continue the terror for decades.
I'll give it a try, thanks.
