Something to be aware of about "RAW" images: most dSLR will encode a full-size JPEG _within the raw image_ (that you can pull out with `exiftool`) which frequently is what the resulting JPEG would be (which, on some cameras, includes image enhancements through "computational imagery")--so there really isn't a disadvantage to shooting raw (versus raw+jpg).

(I found this only after shooting jpg+raw for years, and then digging into a bunch of different camera outputs to support them via PhotoStructure).
>What you're noticing now is a significant portion of the population simply throwing away common sense because obeying common sense somehow infringes on their rights.

It's not common sense, it's mass brainwashing. If you'd asked people two years ago what they thought about the idea of locking the whole country down indefinitely for a virus with a 99% survival rate (and over 99.9% for people under 50), the vast majority would have said it's a crazy idea.
The question is how quickly can google and facebook lose their advertising monopoly by playing this game.
Did I miss how they are calculating "fuel" costs? Seems like on of the big differentiators would be that cost.

If it really is 29 kWh per 100 miles[1], and the median energy rate is $0.1042/kWh [2], that is slightly more than $3/100 miles in "fuel" cost. Versus 4 gallons of gas (median fuel mileage of 24 mpg[3]) being $3/gal [4] so an equivalent cost of about $12. How do they account for the $9/100 miles saving? (they said they drove 3500 miles in a month which would be a savings in gas expense of $315 / month or am I missing something here?

It does the same for "pico de gallo", with comic effect. (But not "gallo pinto".)
They do this for motorcycle tires too. Tires normally made in one factory, tires “stock” made in a different factory like Brazil with much less tread.
My advice was meant to be interpreted in a more holistic sense. It is true that occasionally, people have had their minds changed by reading an internet discussion. But most people are more likely to change someone's mind by speaking to people they know in the real world, than they are by contributing to the noise on the Internet.

Email is just a tool. Unlike powertools it doesn't remove limbs or leave gaping wounds, but you still have to use it safely and in a manner that doesn't destroy your productivity and mental health.

It has been nice working with new contributors that have specific knowledge of such issues. The core team is two people, and we're lucky to have new contributors come with specific knowledge in different areas. So, ideally, we could wait for someone with domain expertise to come along.

The best tools are typically at the bleeding edge of technology, as the tool generally has to be of better quality than the thing being made/measured with it, so if you are going to make the best you need a tool that is better then the best (typically meaning it costs a lot). If you ever want a hard-core engineering job, go and work for a company that makes the things that make things, whether that be machine tools, electrical measurement equipment, production lines or whatever.

For example, ASML make the tools that make chips. Keysight and Tektronix make the tools that measure production. They are just random names. The list goes on. The upper echelons of such companies are at the frontiers of engineering.

Nothing you said precludes tracking the information. Yeah, I've missed meetings and it's been evident. But it's ok, because we have flexibility and the company knows it's rare.

If I miss every meeting, that's a concern.

I bought a pair of Steelcase Criterions from a local used furniture store for $75 each. They have been wonderful. But I am going to have to order new pistons for them as mine has started to slowly sink. Those seem to run about $45 and are easy to replace. Might upgrade the casters while I’m at it.

Not much of a problem, just that a global sim with access to unlimited data in those countries must've cost a fortune for Amazon to maintain once those flat-rate providers realized some "Kindles" were using a lot of unexpected data and asked for more money or a data cap.
>>Do you want to try and draw the line from investing in people to reduce poverty, sickness, deprivation and starvation to the downfall of the West and rise of totalitarianism? I'm not seeing it.

Central economic planning is inefficient. China learned that, and embarked on massive market reforms in 1979:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_economic_reform

As for "investing in people to reduce poverty" etc, in the long-term, people develop their own personal safety nets in a society without a government-sponsored safety net. Economists have studied this phenomenon, and found that societies with low government social welfare spending levels, like many East Asian countries, have high personal savings rates and extended-family-based support networks.

This is what you want. You do not want the safety net to be provided by a centralized authority. That creates a fragile economy, like the USSR's, where after the state's bankruptcy and subsequent dissolution, millions who had grown dependent on its safety net died of privation. The incentives are also much much better for productivity when you don't have formulaic and unconditional social support that people can abuse:

>>How do unions and regulations even explain corrupt prosecutors, which existed back at the start of your graph, as well as for thousands of years before?

As the laws/regulations become more complex, they become easier to run afoul of, and the easier it is for a corrupt prosecutor to find an excuse to persecute someone: "The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state." - Tacitus

As regulatory institutions become larger, and more complex, they also become harder for the electorate to keep accountable. They develop their own "institutional interests", which economist Thomas Sowell gives an example of here:

While zero-sum games are rare in economics, this is a (sub-)zero-sum game. There is no obvious reason why the crowd spending more time on Reddit should be more deserving than anyone else. In fact there are probably plenty of activities generally considered beneficial for society, such as childcare or volunteering, that are negatively correlated with time spend on Reddit.

So it’s all just redistributing wealth, burning a bunch of it in the process, and rewarding those with early enthusiasm for the idea of turning a lot of money into a CO_2 producing lottery.
I came to the comments to say exactly this. I think like any ideological stance, it's extreme and there are exceptions to the rule, but for games it's great for a lot of reasons.

Tarn was wrong about this though:

> Using a single object with different allocated subobjects is almost certainly worse for cache misses

It depends a little on the context, but having object pools is exactly the right thing to do when you're trying to scale. It allows you to group together similar data, reducing cache misses when batch processing. You can even cache-align your primitives, or even run SIMD and multi-core jobs to batch update an entire set of attributes that belong to multiple objects.
Charging for those is a degree of degradation too much for a civilized society to accept.
Should housing be a primary vehicle for investment and the de facto way of making money? Or should it serve as a necessity and basic aspect of life?
Okay, that's fair. So "nearly equivalent maintenance costs but a whole lot cheaper on fuel" would seem to be a less click baity headline. (I know, I'm asking for a lot)
Wow that's a tall claim because Aeron and the Steelcase leap are the gotos.

I was always skeptical of gaming chairs long duration sitting solutions but maybe i'll head to a local store and give it a try.

The very first game you should make is a Pong/Breakout/Asteroids/Galaga/Frogger clone. It seems simple, but you need to have a surprising amount of systems: graphics, audio, controls, collisions, game states, menus, scoring, user interface.

The engine and language does not matter for this first game. The only thing that matters is completing one small game.

After that, you'll have the level of knowledge to make somewhat informed choices about project #2, where you can expand and innovate. You can use hobbyist engines like Godot and have more control, or more professional engines like Unity or Unreal if you want access to those tools and asset libraries.

It's not abuse if the use is within the terms of use. At most you can just call it a bad deal for Amazon or simply an "advertisement cost" of the phrase "Global access."

If anything it's to be applauded that "global" really meant global, not just "yeah global as long as you're in USA, CA, UK, EU, AU, NZ." So many times my "global" MasterCard did not work in some whole country.

I doubt most paperbacks printed in the past 100 years will last that long, or can withstand repeated reading for a millennium. (I've replaced enough paperback children's books!)

You don't need to be on reddit. Also you can apply this logic to many things and it will sound good to people that have a bone to pick but will be flawed to everyone else analyzing it objectively.

> everyone got an email address and most lost their assistants

This is important. In the 90s I was working in an office with a half dozen other people, and the director had a secretary who also managed the office. She handled things like everyone's travel bookings, routine administrative stuff, and the like. And she was good at it. Fast forward to today and all but the most senior people spend days dealing with corporate systems to book travel, do expense reports, requisitioning things for our computers and laptops, and other assorted administrivia. In academia even tenured professors do it themselves. And these corporate portals are terrible. Now consider the scenario (set aside pandemic live for now) where a team of programmers working in two or three different offices around the country needs an in-person event. Instead of having one person, who is familiar with the systems and rules and is very good at navigating them, you have half a dozen highly paid professionals blowing half a day or more each wrangling up travel and accommodations. It's such a huge waste of people's time.
the curve is slowing down though. You won't be seeing any cheap 2TB microSD cards anytime soon.
It seems like a sales tax might be more frequently circumvented than an income tax. With income tax the side who stands to lose is the worker, who generally lacks the resources to bother laundering money. With a sales tax the losing side is the seller, who may be a multinational that can afford to play stupid games.

I do like the simplicity of the idea though, just that alone makes me lean in favor. It's not like the current system isn't also being gamed to hell anyway.
I had my 2 year scheduled maintenance done last Nov and it included a tire rotation all for $97.50.

* That's the only maintenance cost I have incurred so far since I purchased the car in 2018. Tires are fine even after driving from GA to CA.
Oh yeah! I was almost in a car accident. Car in front hit the break, car was very close behind. Touched the break, and passed on the shoulder. Definitely relate to the time slowdown. I think it was adrenaline, I remember shaking after.
I've been working remote for about 10 years.

I've had "real" offices. I've worked in open-plan offices. I've had a home office. I've worked from bed.

There are tons of good ways to do it.

Lately I swap between a kitchen table and a chair on my porch. I no longer use multiple screens, I've just gotten really fast at swapping windows on my 15" laptop; I've gotten good at figuring out how wide my terminal window breaks should be and where my browser dev tools should sit.

Surely there are more optimal ways of doing stuff. Odds are that there is a Taylorist approach that would pull more productivity out of me. But much like my typing speed (~50WPM) isn't really the limiting factor in my programming skill, screen real estate isn't a big factor in getting stuff done for me.

But the big thing for me is that, in the end, it's fine for me to switch stuff up on a monthly or quarterly or yearly basis.

I could never have done that when I was in an office. I couldn't take 20 min and play banjo or accordion and come back to my problem with a fresh eye. I couldn't put on my laundry and hang it up while I listen to other folks on the daily stand up. I couldn't start my lunch cooking in the instapot while waiting for a script to finish running.

It would take a hard, hard sell to get me back in an office, not matter how much real and legitimate enjoyment and utility other folks get in an office.
Sounds like this would only work for blood cells--and only by doing a procedure similar to a bone marrow transplant.
A lot of people have a knee jerk reaction to crypto for whatever reason.
Then let employees work from home permanently so they can afford a larger house.

Telling employees to work from home for a year but be prepared to come back to the office at any time is the worst of both worlds - they have to pay high housing prices to live within easy commute distance of the office, but meanwhile they have to work from home and may live in a very small home.

Some employees may prefer to live in or near a city for other reasons, but others would be happy to move farther away.
You’ve never noticed how some posts get way more upvotes than comments? Especially those introducing a product?
Point of fact first, twitter does filter tweets via a recommendation algorithm [1]. If you troll through HN you should be able to find threads with people complaining about that too... I assume instagram does too but don't use it and haven't verified [edit: It does https://later.com/blog/how-instagram-algorithm-works/].

> Facebook also shows me content from my "friends"... I opted in to the content from my friends: if I don't like my friends, I can and should unfriend them

This is not the service Facebook offers, nor has it ever been. Facebook has forever been about friending everyone you are actually friends with (and then some), and you (or at least the vast vast majority of people) do not want to swallow the entire firehose of content that their facebook friends post. Facebook doesn't want people unfriending people to avoid seeing their content, that's not how the model works - doing so would break all of other facebooks services like acting as a birthday reminder, event planner, and so on and so forth. Even the language is indicative of this, "unfriend" (I don't like you anymore) not "stop showing me these posts" (I don't like what you post).

> the entire mechanism of social media to followers is primarily direct communication!

On the contrary, the entire mechanism of the majority of successful social media companies is curated communication. As it turns out 99% of everything (e.g. posts) is crap, and people go to the sites where less than 99% of what they see is crap.

Types of curation vary, but the existence of it is very consistence. To create some categories: algorithms (facebook, tiktok, youtube, twitter), community upvotes + community moderation (reddit, HN, slashdot), just straight up heavy moderation (many forums, forum.nasaspaceflight.com comes to mind as one that is still going strong). Also worth pointing out that most of these platforms actually mix it up, e.g. youtube, twitter, and facebook all have forms of upvotes, and facebook has forms of community moderation.

But if you want direct communication, that exists. I.e. the previously mentioned facebook messenger (which admittedly doesn't do followers) and substack (which is a competitor of sorts that does).

Direct communication is not what facebook is offering as their main product (but is what they are offering with messenger), it's never been, and I don't see that you have any right to demand that it becomes what their main product does.
