I know people who spend a few years working remotely for a US company while 'waiting their turn' to be able to actually go to US.

Meanwhile I got invited to apply for a provincial process (Canada) while still living in Brazil, and both processes (provincial nomination + permanent residency) were easy, transparent, and I guess quick?
The study is actually titled "Unrecognized threat to global soil carbon by a widespread invasive species". So perhaps they aren't part of the equilibrium on some continents. The title of the news item is silly though as if suggesting that we should kill off the whole species and build another million of cars.
> Right... but I don't classify its performance of "saying 5 gunshots when their was 4" a failure.

Where there four? The part of the recording containing the fifth shot disappeared, there is no way to reexamine it as there where no steps taken to protect the original data against tampering. If your method is so bad that no one else can reproduce your results and the data you base your results on just keeps changing and disappearing to suit the expected result then it has the scientific rigor of a fortune teller.
The WHO has a distinct conflict of interest in making that statement, however.
I think there's a whole lot of people that would be upset to find out you don't think they exist. I mean, come on, people have a hard enough time with eternal questions like "who am I?" and you come along and tell them they don't exist? I now understand why Marvin the robot was in the mood he was. Why bother?
You know what political scientists and politicians think of people that believe everything the government tells them? That they're ignorant and naive.
This is my experience also. By the time the OOM killer kicks in, the system has been locked for 15 to 20 minutes already. If it was production you've already terminated the instance. If it's your laptop or desktop, you've already held the power button.

Fedora has earlyoom enabled by default but so far it hasn't saved me. I really need to look into configuring it. How did you get started? Man pages? Blog post?
Yup! Because Tesla charges waaay more for time at a charger not charging, I'm starting to like the slower chargers since it gives more time for whatever I'm up to at the location. 30m is enough to pop into Trader Joe's, but not enough for a restaurant (as an example)
> the phenomena of everyone thinking "oh, someone else will call."

This generally doesn't happen. It originated as a slander against the people who lived around where Kitty Genovese was killed, as an after-the-fact excuse for the lack of police response.

> While there was no question that the attack occurred, and that some neighbors ignored cries for help, the portrayal of 38 witnesses as fully aware and unresponsive was erroneous. The article grossly exaggerated the number of witnesses and what they had perceived. None saw the attack in its entirety. Only a few had glimpsed parts of it, or recognized the cries for help. Many thought they had heard lovers or drunks quarreling. There were two attacks, not three. And afterward, two people did call the police. A 70-year-old woman ventured out and cradled the dying victim in her arms until they arrived. Ms. Genovese died on the way to a hospital.

git blame and git log -S are both granular tools with their own blindspots. To actually get to the bottom of something you need a higher level tool which lets you iterate through historical changes across multiple files over time. The workflow is 1) git blame problematic area 2) open full commit + diff for that change so you can see context 3) open relevant file(s) as they existed in that commit 4) repeat steps 1,2 and 3 until you get to root cause.

This workflow is not subject to any limitations around code structure, variable naming, file moving or anything else. fugitive.vim is a plugin which lets you very quickly recurse into history in this fashion using multiple vim windows.
Yes, it’s very unfortunate when an app is not available for some reason.

In most cases it’s a valid reason - the app is malicious, poorly made or somehow in conflict with local law. Also imagine if you are an app developer an suddenly your project (on which you’ve spent countless hours of hard work) is unexpectedly leaked as freely available for download and side-loading. I’m not talking big Corps like epic and blizzard … but people like you and me.

Open source apps can be loaded easily, so developers who really want to make their stuff available can still do so and users won’t need to hack their phones to get such apps. But of course this can’t happen en masse.

I think mere mortals has pretty much the same implication as Normalsterbliche. The tone is jokey but not grandiose.
Not only that but counting fill up time against gas, while not counting all charging time against EV is hardly apples to apples.

If the justification is doing something productive with that time, then washing your windshield or going into the C-store to get a snack and a drink shouldn't count as gas up time.

I get that progress is being made, but the contortions required to prove that the status quo is "good enough" are frustrating, at best.

The best way to get a person to commit to an ice vehicle for life is to mislead them into committing to an EV before it or the infrastructure suits their needs.
I wonder if people hated cubicles because they looked and felt cheaper than actual private offices, thus giving the Office Space/Dilbert/Matrix/Fight Club effect of feeling like an office drone, even if the actual work experience is preferable to open offices.

Having to pay out of pocket after paying 50%+ tax rate! Incredible!
And what conflict of interest is that?
Just because someone is part of the 1% doesn’t mean they cannot be critical of the way others in the 1% act. What kind of logic is that? “Hey man, you drive too - you can’t critique other drivers!”

The point isn’t about wealth inequality inherently being a terrible thing - it’s that wealth inequality without any checks or balances has lead to a lot of terrible things like the gutting of the middle class in the US. We are supposed to be freer than we’ve ever been yet we live in a new age of serfdom. The gains of our economy go to the top 1% (or even less). It is not being shared to all and thus why people are pissed because they’re paying more in taxes to support these guys than some of the 1% when it comes to proportion of their income.

People just want equality. They don’t give a shit if you have billions. They want billionaires to pay the fair amount the rest of us W2 slaves have to deal with and not use pledged asset lines and stepped up basis to avoid ever paying taxes.
Elections != democracy. In particular, elections where only one party can run do not make a democracy. Elections where only one party can campaign do not make a democracy. And elections where only one party can win (because of who counts the votes) do not make a democracy.

"Having an election" does not make it a democracy. The people choose who rules makes it a democracy.

Except Andrej Karpathy. Why dumb down if they know it isn't working, now that they have all the financial resources to pivot and overtake the other manufacturers (who have not achieve anything anyway)? It makes no sense, unless Karpathy does not know what he's doing.

Edit: the argument that others don't agree is not convincing because Tesla should not have succeeded by others' standards either.
Government is something. They can tax and print money.
In the early 90's in college I worked in an open plan in a small software company - 10 developers? Management kept proposing cubes and we argued against it. I can't imagine why we argued against it now?

Maybe we had fewer personal items on our screens due to the internet not being used all that much? We argued that it was nice to be able to turn around and ask someone a question. Maybe it's just because we were such a small close knit team?

On the other hand, we also had fairly large desks as well.

Why did you write all those anonymous functions? You can just do

Hah, that is a great point and unfortunately, there are and will likely always be security control requirements that are no longer considered best practices.

For example, it was fairly recent that NIST updated its guidance on requiring changing of passwords at a defined frequency.

In the case of DNSSEC, it is potentially a relevant and required control under, for example, NIST 800-53, revision 5.1, SC-21 [1]. That's why I mentioned that depending on the standard, it COULD be a requirement.

[1] https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/risk-management/sp800-53-cont...

Edit: It is also still offered as a potential (arguably secure) practice under NIST SP 800-81-2.

Yes I'm aware that there are differences, but it's not clear to me how that's relevant.
It's not density that makes this happen in the U.S., but age. Old streetcar era suburbs didn't have driveways or garages. I've lived in neighborhoods entirely made of single family homes with hardly any off street parking. It was terrible coming home after 6pm. Ironically, if you live in a dense area of the U.S., your building probably has a parking spot for you in the garage as most apartment builds since the 60s included parking.
Are there any books kinda in this vein?
Julia isn't that unique, most dynamic languages compile code on startup into bytecode and execute it on a JIT VM, and they all allow dynamically redefining the world at runtime as well.

Revise.jl inside the REPL is annoying as hell to use when you start messing with structs.

It isn't a big ask to just have `julia whatever.jl` not take minutes to compile the entire world. Stop defending it like every Apple fanboy on mac forums trying to convince me that the touchbar is great.

And Revise.jl kind of proves the fact that incremental compilation is entirely possible. If it wasn't possible at all due to $maximum_dynamic_insanity that wouldn't even work.
> Home is then a place of escape/relaxation/recharging where work does not interfere.

Or the other way around. That's the rarely stated but arguably common case, particularly for middle-age people: office is a place of escape/relaxation/recharging where your spouse and your little children and/or your inlaws don't interfere.

I love my WFH, I have it worked out with my wife and our family, and I don't want to ever have to work in an office on a regular basis - but I do understand this point. Parenting is hard. Marriage is hard - and COVID in particular threw a lot of people into uncharted territory. Despite all the romantic ideals and the condescending opinions of some people, modern marriage in western world is designed around partners spending significant time apart. Our current pandemic suddenly forced every couple to live a lifestyle most don't experience until retirement. Few were ready for this.
Ran into this issue where contributors editors were reformatting the whole file they touched based on the newly created code formatting config file. Some editors would pick it up and automatically reformat on save so a commit with 3 actual lines changed looked like 90% of the file had changed in the diff. So we went with the nuclear option and did one massive PR that reformatted the whole codebase.
The more important number would be "average age of a car when it goes out of operation," but yeah, I highly doubt it's that much lower, if any. It should be similarly climbing.

It's precisely this. Later on when the pivot to open offices took hold the management joined in deriding cubicles as oppressive and stifling. Well, mission accomplished. They are now mostly a rarity and a perk at those places that still have them.

They can seem like a good idea at first. If you've never worked in such an environment before, you might not notice how shitty it truly is.

> what are the suggestions you have to a sci-fi writer?

Write, write, write, then write some more. It's said that every successful author needs to get through 1,000,000 bad words before they start turning out good ones. Doesn't sound too far off to me.

Then, read, read, read, and read some more.

Don't focus on a single, or even a set of ideas. Focus on turning yourself into a writing-engine. Focus on the process, not the product. So, an essential part of that process is getting rejected. Here's one: Your ideas suck. So? Make up more. Ideas are cheap. Execution is hard.

Fuck 'em. To paraphrase Steven Fry, Offence is for those who can't control their emotions.

No, you'll just look like a dummy that doesn't understand evolution, speciation, and genetics.

Hopefully you'll study up on the hero cycle and other plotting models. That'll get you further than your ideas stated here. People don't want to be lectured to by their science fiction. They want stories that pull them in.

that's what I'm saying, Japan is a small enough and dense enough country that rolling out a more complicated set of infrastructure is easier than it would be to do it in a place like the US. So maybe their thought is that electric is a half-measure and the "right" way is hydrogen, and they'll just roll it out and be done with it, because that's what Japan does.

The kink in the plan being that the rest of the world is going the other way.

moreover, one of the critical vulnerabilities from a user's perspective is the network connections that a device makes, nominally on behalf of the user, but really on behalf of privacy-forsaking data harvesters like google and facebook (and even apple themselves, to a certain extent).

jailbreaking is one method users can (potentially) regain a modicum of control over their own private information as well as block exfiltration from exploited security vulnerabilities.

This is my question too. I don't really feel like I've found an adequate answer anywhere in this thread. Aren't hybrids a massive step in the right direction?

The climate doesn't care about per capita. It's strictly the emissions. If you want to care about per capita numbers you should also care about human development index numbers. It's not the same thing to put 20 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere while doing nothing the quality of life of the global population as compared to putting 20 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere while raising the standard of living the global population. We should be striving for lowering CO2, but let's not pretend that all emissions are the same.
What kind of processing do you do on the data before printing?
Yeah, I personally think using NFTs for gameplay-altering items seems like a bad path that will lead to frustrated holders of useless things, because either meta will shift and they'll have to disable some items or they have to manage permanent power inflation (challenging to do well and will devalue the items anyways).

A lot of "Free to play" games get most of their money from cosmetic enhancements. I think cross-game cosmetic enhancements could increase demand. Ex. Team fortress 2 hats would be more valuable if you could also wear them in world of warcraft.

Seems tricky to figure out how to incentivize other developers to implement this support for items they don't get revenue from, but I bet someone will figure it out in the next few years.
