apt install linux-oem-20.04c

The 5.13-oem kernel fixed a bunch of niggles for me with bluetooth, an RX 5700XT, CPU temperatures, and USB audio. (The last is still not all the way to where I want it, but that's down to it being really hard to figure out how to tweak Alsa.)

I agree with your assessment. "Fine" (with the quotes) is about right.

Do we even disagree about the settler colonialism bit? It seems like your hesitance there has to do with a potential conclusion, rather than whether or not that accurately describes the situation.

FWIW, I’m speaking in good faith about that being the start of a conversation about reparations (although not one that I want to have here and now). I’m not trying to go “GOTCHA! now Israelis need to GTFO” as soon as we acknowledge that shared understanding.
Yea, I have use GitHub search in a pinch and sometimes it is helpful enough to show me exactly where to look. Unfortunately, though, there are several events we emit that are many layers of string concatenation, so GitHub search may narrow it down to 4 or so places and I have to manually go from there.
What I miss the most of my coming of age time during the 90s is the process of logging on and off.

Once I got my Cleveland Freenet Account I loved popping on after school to check my email (which at that point was really just personal messages from a few friends) and stopping by IRC to chat.

The limiting factor of dinner time and needing to free up the phone lines was great to limit daily use.

Snowden’s _Permanent Record_ did a nice job capturing this feeling for those around 40.
I don't know. I'm not as familiar with Vue, but React's ecosystem is in such a good spot right now. Between things like RTKQ (or react-query), Material-UI, and react-hook-form, the abstractions over common web use-cases are just so terrific to work with nowadays.

And then just being the larger community, I just feel like all there's more examples in general for everything. Most things default to React as the guiding implementation.

Semi-Off-Topic but related to Opex vs Capex: One of the weird aspects of Japanese tax law is the Capital Assets tax.

Every year your local city taxes any capital goods at 1.5%. What is a capital good? Anything which takes multiple years to deduct. A couple examples: Cars, Machines, Factories. A couple odd examples: desks, chairs, TV, elevators.

In the past other first world countries had such capital goods taxes but removed them. It seems so counter intuitive to punish companies for building capital. After all capital and acculumation of capital is what pushes productivity.

I suspect it, as so many other aspects of Japanese tax law, is about solving perverse incentives: no one goes around misclassifying opex as capex when there is a capex tax...

Poor people don't eat much fresh produce unless they grow it themselves. Frozen vegetables are preferred because they are cheaper and often higher quality because they weren't sitting around for days and weeks. I grew up quite poor in a few different regions of the US, it works like this everywhere. In more rural areas, there are a lot personal gardens and barter. You aren't going to convince a poor person to spend more money on a worse product. Insisting that grocers in poor areas carry large stocks of fresh produce isn't helpful, it just demonstrates a naive lack of familiarity with how poor people optimize their food spending. They have plenty of access to quality vegetables.

I know a wealthy person with impeccable culinary taste whose guilty pleasure is eating certain frozen/canned vegetables. She grew up very poor and loves the taste/texture of them even though she can easily afford the most bougie fresh vegetables available. It isn't nearly as bad to get your produce this way as I think some upper-middle class people assume it is.
Unions don't like competition. Having a monopoly on the workforce is how they have bargaining power because they don't bring any new value to the table for the buyers of labor.

Interesting how people picturing themselves as tolerant as intolerant to less educated people. I think the key is diversity and accepting that people can have different sexual orientation, origins, beliefs, but also different education or intelligence level without the other being paternalist and take advantage to protect their wealth.

I no longer live in the rural area where I grew up, but near enough that I've been out there periodically.

The Dollar General was a real game changer. Prior to its arrival, you had a 25+ minute/mile (your pick - mostly 55 mph speed limit country roads) drive to the nearest thing passing as a grocery store. When I was a kid there was a gas station, which did sell some food (maybe bread and milk and some canned goods, along with the typical junk food).

DG is such a real improvement for people out that way. It sells the stuff they need at prices that aren't ridiculous.

Crucially, it doesn't displace or undercut anything. There wasn't any other store to displace - even that old gas station is still there! Dollar General is effectively an oasis in a food desert, even with its lack of fresh produce.

I don't know what percentage of Dollar General / Family Dollar / etc type stores are in areas like that, versus in small towns where they might be competing with an IGA or something. But there are definitely places where their presence is a real win.

Yes, and nearly everyone called it the moment Facebook bought Oculus. That any journalists at the time actually gave credence to Facebook's claims Oculus would remain independent is incredibly shameful.

As for me, my Rift sits unused in a box. The Oculus desktop software may be the worst piece of shit I've ever used and I can't lay eyes on it without wishing ill upon its developers.

It's basic English dude, let's not complicate it. It's very easy to see what was meant by that, and it's a common sentiment all over the internet that these "space barons" should reallocate their resources towards saving the planet.

If you insist on using 3rd party interpretation rather than 1st party intent to decide the meaning of a statement, I've got 16 upvotes on my comments here so others seem to be reading it the same as I.

But we don't need to vote to understand what "until after" means. It's not esoteric philosophical language - my 6 year old would understand it.

I just skimmed through that document. Based on your description I was expecting a polemic. But actually about 90% of what they recommend looks like really good ways to improve math instruction.

The big problem to me is that teaching math is hard, and teaching math well, as recommended in that booklet, is really hard. You can write all the pamphlets you want, but in the end the answer will be about the same - get really good teachers. Which probably means paying teachers a lot more than we do now.

The ship has sailed on eradication. We're ALL going to get Delta at some point now, it's just a question under what circumstances (and whether the antivaxxers will have sufficient numbers to denial of service the healthcare system as they die).
My email address is temporal at gmail.com. "Temporal" was my teenage gamer tag. It also turns out to mean "temporary" in Spanish. Ever since the Spanish-speaking world started using gmail, people have been signing up for stuff with my e-mail address every single day. Any new service I want to register an account with, I first have to hijack the existing account holding my address and delete it or change the email address.

But it gets worse!

Someone working at AT&T Mexico apparently decided to start entering my address as a placeholder when signing up customers that didn't have one. So I started getting phone bills -- with complete call histories -- for people all over Mexico. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact AT&T, I set up a filter to delete them.

Once a Spanish telecom did even worse, and populated seemingly their entire database with my address, so I'd get hundreds of phone bills all at once on the first of the month. I think they fixed it after two billing cycles.

Once a school in Chile made me an admin of their paid Zoom organization. I was actually unable to remove myself from their org or change the account's address, meaning I basically couldn't use Zoom until they removed me. (I'm unsure whether the school fixed it or Zoom fixed it after I made an angry tweet that went viral; whoever fixed it never bothered to follow up with me.)

The list goes on and on...

Wired even wrote an article about me. https://www.wired.com/story/misplaced-emails-took-over-inbox...

If you run a web service, PLEASE VERIFY ALL EMAIL ADDRESSES.

PS. Just now as I write this, someone in Spain scheduled an appointment for car service using my address. The e-mail contained a link to cancel the service, which I clicked. Oops.
I was just looking into this for while I'm on vacation next week in Wisconsin (or perhaps not, given delta), and the nearest printing place is about a 20 minute drive away. But then, because I do a lot of writing and prefer to edit on paper, I'm probably on the right side of the bell curve when it comes to printer usage.

Having a firstnamelastname address will subject you to a truly baffling level of false accounts and misaddressed email. The worst was probably the time I got emailed an excel sheet containing the names, personal details, and logins for an entire layer of middle managers for a small banking chain.
After the war the international community pressured Israel into letting the Palestinian refugees return home. The famous UN Resolution 194 was an attempt to settle the Palestine question and to demand of Israel that it let the refugees repatriate. But the racist Israeli leaders didn't want non-Jews in their state. "Only Jews have a right of return to Israel", Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion declared.

To shield itself from criticism, Israel promulgated the idea that the Arabs left voluntarily. That they had been "called out" by their own leaders. Joseph Schechtman, working for the Israeli state, was the first to claim this in his book The Arab refugee problem from 1952. He referenced radio broadcasts and evacuation orders from Arab community leaders ostensibly calling for them leave.

Erskine Childers in his classic article The Other Exodus from 1963 went through transcripts of radio broadcasts in Palestine during 1948 and couldn't find a single instance of an order by Arab leaders calling for them to leave. Arab leaders that he interviewed vehemently denied calling for the Arabs to leave. On the contrary, he found transcripts of radio broadcasts calling for the Arabs to stay. Since then, many historians have investigated the issue and have concluded that the "called out"-theory is completely bunk.

Despite the overwhelming evidence showing that the Palestinians left for fear of getting caught in the hostilities, were "adviced" to leave by Jewish troops, or forced out at gunpoint, some Zionists still cling to the debunked "called out"-theory. That's the power of propaganda, I guess.

I find it callous and cynical to attempt to justify Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine with Jewish emigration from Arab countries in the 1950s and 1960s. That the Arab countries persecuted their Jewish minorities cannot justify an ethnic cleansing committed decades prior. Furthermore, some Arab states have apologized for their persecution of Jews and allowed them to return and to claim property. No such apology is forthcoming from the Israeli state.

> "It reads like storing code in a string and evalling it" sounds very funny in this context because that's exactly what every solution does.

Its not, though. JSX-based solutions (not just React, but Solid and others) don't (actually, neither do many frameworks with more traditional-looking templates, including, AIUI, Vue, actually compile templates to render functions, so it just looks like old school “string with embedded code which is evalled” ttemplates)
Oh yeah, if it's shown (with real evidence) that they actually tampered with the votes it should be rerun and people should go to jail. Point 2 is just a reason why I think they didn't.
In Clojure you know the number of arguments to a function and the name of functions and variables, and the code is all very well structured as an AST (being a Lisp).

So you can do a lot of refactorings with that such as:

Rename function, rename variable, rename namespace, extract constant, extract function, extract local variable, extract global variable, convert to thread-first, convert to thread-last, auto-import, clean imports, find all use, inline function, move function/variable to a different namespace, and some more.

The only thing is you can't change the "type" of something and statically know what broke.
You can’t even concede that animals don’t want to be slaughtered? You are consistently completely unwilling to admit anything in our discussions.

My issue isn't the existance of programmatic expressions (yeah, it's the point of templating languages), but more that the way vue (and angular) do it is a mess of syntaxes that creates a really, really strange template.

The lodash example is the main critique because that is not JS, but it involves evaluating JS - it's created its own programming language with its own rules -- when one was right there from the beginning!

Mutations in the genetic replication machinery of the virus. All the world's worst and most untreatable diseases tend to have very fast, but very low quality polymerases.

This means they replicate quickly, and generate mutagenic variants quickly. HIV and Ebola have this in common.

Delta is already selecting for viral load over vaccine escape - if it keeps getting faster then it could become more dangerous, but it would also increase the rate it can explore it's genetic "phase space".

University of Washington, Astronomy Department | Software engineering director (and engineers soon) | Seattle, WA | Onsite

We recently got a large grant to improve the state of software for astronomy - particularly, building tools and platforms for analyzing the upcoming explosion of data when LSST [0] comes online in the next few years. We anticipate a ~10x growth in data volume for many domains of astronomy research, and new tools and platforms will be needed.

We're starting a team to tackle this problem at UW. We want to hire a manager and several software engineers. We'd prefer to hire the manager first so they can hire the rest of the team and set the direction, but if you're interested in just engineering, feel free to reach out anyway - I can keep you in the loop.

This is a good role for senior software people with management experience who are interested in doing something pretty different. Working in astronomy is way better than working on yet another ad-tech startup or FAANG: you'll be working on software to understand dark matter, detect asteroids, and advance the frontier of human knowledge.

You'd work with astronomy researchers directly, defining and delivering a 5-year vision for the future of astronomy. UW has excellent benefits, and the department is truly great about work/life balance. Pay is (perhaps surprisingly!) pretty competitive. Advanced degrees are not required. Of course, it helps to be passionate about the science, but this is a software engineering job.

We don't have a job posting yet - the grant is still fresh - but I wanted to get word out early. Feel free to email me, swnelson@uw.edu, to talk.
I'm a former principal engineer at Twitch and AWS, now working at the University of Washington on astronomy software. I will not be working directly on this team (I work on adjacent stuff), but I'm helping with hiring. I can connect you with professors involved, or talk about my own experience.

> Once you add in language and cultural barriers, i.e. the fact that a movie about 'Captain America' will have a strong enough audience domestically, with some acceptance abroad, and you have insurmountable competitive advantage. (Nobody is going to watch a film about 'Captain France', or 'Captain Japan' - or rather, many fewer).

That explains why Parasite and Money Heist flopped.

> The new Dune film is Denis Villneuve, and his 'posse' of creatives are from Montreal. In some ways, it's a 'Canadian-led' film, but that just happens to be talent, it's not really part of the industrial base. Villneuve exists because Quebec strongly supports creative endeavours (and FYI for every Villneuve, there are 10 you've not heard of, 50 who never really had support or a shot, and 1000 who tried and failed).

From what I've been told, Quebec is the only place in Canada that consumes its own culture.

Yeah, I get the “I like to understand how everything works” angle, and I like implementing things from scratch in personal projects. When working with a team, I feel it really depends on the team and the business. I think if you’re extremely focused on quality, and don’t need a really rapid pace of development (especially in the earlier days), then going low/no dependency can make sense. It’s certainly working for SQLite!

On the flip side … some of the worst software mistakes at places I’ve worked at have been of the “let’s build some common thing ourselves” variety. For example, for some crazy reason, someone implemented their own HTTP-esque protocol on top of ZeroMQ, complete with servers and clients in multiple languages, that was used in a massive number of services. A total disaster, insane amounts of dev work invested in it, tonnes of bugs and performance issues, eventually we ripped it out and replaced it with HTTP, but it took literally years of work to do so. Less extreme were in-house service discovery tooling, and an in-house version of something like Redux. Tonnes of investment to build them, poorly documented with poor test coverage and lots of bugs. Then the main author/advocate leaves the company, it becomes a huge maintenance burden, and eventually it’s ripped out and replaced with a popular open source version at great cost/effort. In all cases, the in-house version was massively lower quality than the top open source alternatives, in basically every conceivable way.

I agree that introducing a dependency is a significant decision, you should research the dependency well and not add it lightly. But building everything in-house can be a major mistake with massive unnecessary costs, you need pretty specific use cases and the right company culture for it to work out.
