To answer my own question: My last big XSLT project was for a video curation app startup back in 2010-ish. When the iPad came out and every company needed an app, you could proxy app calls via Charles to access unprotected (and unstandardized) XML feeds of video content. For the better part of a month I downloaded every app with video, looked for accessible API feeds and wrote XSLT transformations and XPath to standardize for consumption by our app. At times it was rote, but I learned you can gleam a lot about a company when you inspect their internal APIs.
But then, how would you insert a link (in a note) to a specific line in some codebase? In a different branch. Or a link to a specific email thread in a mailing list?

How would you attach images to your notes and manage them in a git repo? How would you encrypt your notes?

How do you insert current or tomorrow's date in a note? How do you find all the notes tagged with a date? ¹

Most importantly, what would you do when you accumulate several thousand notes, and suddenly Obsidian authors ask you to pay for it?

Having my note taking system in Emacs has incredible benefits - I have google-translate, thesaurus, dictionary, spell-checker, Grammarly checker, etc., All right here, everything is accessible without focus and context switching. And, of course, I can change virtually any behavior of any part of the system. And I never have to worry that someday, someone would ask me to pay for "premium features".

-----

¹ I don't know, perhaps Obsidian has some of those features, and maybe they are even better and more intuitive than in Emacs, but I doubt it would ever be as versatile.

Yes, the US still has landfills as does Europe.

“In 2018, 24% of all municipal waste generated in the EU was landfilled.” That said, incineration is a similar option that drastically lowers volume of waste, but still produced ash that ends up buried and vast amounts of CO2.

Last I heard, the overwhelming majority of the plastic in the ocean comes from three or four rivers, none of which flow through OECD states.

[EDIT] which is not to say that the plastic was not used and discarded in an OECD state, then shipped elsewhere for "disposal" (LOL).

Very true. If you have experienced either single office with window or team room with window then cubicle or open office are pretty much the same.
The older my eyes get, the more I wince when hearing DPI numbers like that. Scaling of UI elements is never as perfect as we pretend it is. For example, getting both GTK and Qt to simultaneously scale properly on my workstation is something I've given up on, nevermind the bios screen (and I'm only at 109 DPI). Shakes fist at cloud

I believe you are mistaken. The C11 standard, section 6.5.2.3 "Structure and union members" pgf 6, says "One special guarantee is made in order to simplify the use of unions: if a union contains several structures that share a common initial sequence (see below), and if the union object currently contains one of these structures, it is permitted to inspect the common initial part of any of them anywhere that a declaration of the completed type of the union is visible. Two structures share a common initial sequence if corresponding members have compatible types (and, for bit-fields, the same widths) for a sequence of one or more initial members." And that seems to be what's being used here.
Both can be true at once.

It's actually a pretty big security win that I don't have to worry about what my grandma downloaded from the internet for her iPhone for instance, the way I have to worry about her laptop. Apple profits from this, and I really don't mind.
Either the EU or just Germany just outlawed Styropors for food packaging. Granted, I had seen it rarely, and the larger chains like McDonald's had abolished it a decade+ ago. But on the occasions where I got stuff delivered with it, I felt kinda dirty.

There are quite a few schemes for reusable packaging for food delivery currently getting started. It's a concept that needs a certain amount of market penetration and concentration to work, but has the potential to make a significant contribution for private sector/household trash and energy use.
> Eh, they also choose big trucks so they'll win in a crash

Eh this is where it gets really complicated. I used to be a car crash enthusiast as a kid (crash science, not crashing myself). The main thing I learned is that big cars are ridiculously unsafe. Especially american big cars.

Long stopping distance, lots of inertia, bad on the moose test, ridiculous amounts of energy to dissipate/absorb in a crash. Terrible.

Give me a Fiat 500 any day.

Anyway, the best thing you can do for crash survivability is to ensure you’re never driving a car that’s more than 5 years old. The engineering advances fast and a modern small car colliding with a 10 year old big car will absolutely destroy the big car. Use it as a crumple zone.
What can actually saturate that kind of a local link? PCIe 4.0 maxes out at 32 Gbps and 5.0 is increasing that to 63 for x16. x32 exists in the spec, but I'm curious what if anything actually implements that? Certainly not any consumer-grade boards.
Seems that they're doing just what they were intended to: proving ownership, nothing more.

This used to be fairly common actually. Facebook interns got automatic Google onsites for a long time. Not Amazon or Microsoft interns though - apparently we aren’t worthy.
I don't think Cloudflare is intentionally trying to gatekeep the internet. At the same time the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Their CDN service has allowed a lot more sites to exist than the two it has harmed (and I don't consider those two to be great losses).

However they are certainly becoming an internet chokepoint and we need more alternatives to them for the good of the internet.
Kempt is also still used fairly regularly (even though my iPad seems to think it is not a real word)… usually used as ‘well kempt’, like a “well kempt yard”

MacType effectively replaces GDI's font renderer (DirectWrite replacement is experimental) with FreeType (used on Linux, not sure about Mac). If you enable ttfautohint ("Auto tuning") instead of bytecode hinting ("Standard tuning"), the fonts may end up with different metrics, and cut off the tops and bottoms of characters. There's a workaround where you can tell MacType to report larger font metrics than GDI would, but this apparently causes rendering errors as well.

Another bug is that MacType makes Sublime Text in GDI font rendering mode chop off the right side of wide CJK characters. Enabling MacType's experimental DirectWrite support makes Sublime Text's DirectWrite text fuzzier, but not chopped off.

I've gone through probably 300 slide decks from various industries that explicitly state that 'consumers in x demographic sector will need to be re-educated about the value of [something they didn't want]'.

I've seen it in regards to premium breads, in-app purchases, crude oil solvent levels, public infrastructure features, clothing, etc. This isn't a new thing. Sometimes you just spend money to fabricate culture when it isn't on your side.

>There isn't one person deciding what gets produced.

Is this really an appropriate standard for examining whether or not an organization can push culture rather than merely adapt to it?
Besides personal networks, are there any particular services where anyone is finding good leads?

You could restrict yourself to dry lake beds that don't flood in winter, which are nearly as lifeless as Mars, and still have enough landfill area for centuries of waste.

The average American produces 3.5 pounds of trash per day at an average one third of a gram per cubic centimeter. Assuming that holds steady, and we use a normal landfill depth of 400 feet, and the US population doubles over the next century, we need a landfill area of 250 square miles to cover us for the next hundred years.

Compared to available land that's tiny.
Why? Israel gains nothing by disclosing the information if they have it. Telling the world about it won't stop it, staying silent and watching the situation will help identify Hezbollah agents and facilities. It's the same as Hezbollah's vast arsenal of rockets in southern Lebanon. Right under the noses of the "peacekeepers" they bring in tens of thousands of artillery rockets and the world doesn't care.
Hint: Look at the performance delta between the last 3 generatons of nvidia gpus, keeping the TDP fixed.

My personal experience has been quite different. I got a bit burned out on my job and sent in my resume to 10 new places. All remote, some a bit of a stretch, others I was well qualified for. (Data science management and senior DS IC, respectively).

I got zero hits. Not a single phone screen.

Honestly I was pretty lazy about it, and didn't write cover letters or anything. That might be a contributing factor. That, or remote jobs are far more competitive.
I think we'll have to give up particular niceties about how we package things in the western world if we're to generate less trash, but it would come at the cost of removing illusions from the way we market products.

Have you been to less developed countries? They just simply do not package some products. It removes a lot of the allure of buying particular things, but also generates less trash.

Here's a simple example: utensils. In some countries, you just buy the utensil. In America, you buy a box with utensils in them, sometimes with a plastic shell, sometimes with paper wrapping inside of the box. But without the box, it feels like you're buying them from the dollar store no matter how nice the actual spoons and knives are, which commands less of a price mark up.

If it's an oversight how can it be an active effort?

Able bodied people are the default because they are the absolutely overwhelming majority.

Let's agree to disagree, I think.
Fair enough. Then would you say the spiritual plane that can be accessed or interacted with via these rituals, couldn't be fully described under the laws of physics as we currently know them?

(Obviously almost any phenomenon can't be fully described by the laws of physics in the sense that it's too complex to account for the location and state of every elementary particle involved. But I mean in the sense of introducing entirely new laws, or instances where the existing ones are overridden.)
I have so many fond memories of Georgia from my childhood and youth. Tbilisi was always a really fun place to visit, exotic, warm, subtropical, surrounded by high mountains, with delicious food and lots of wine (I didn't drink but parents did). The mountains are beautiful and there is some world class skiing to be had, although I am pretty sure - still - not with the world class amenities.

We went to Gudauri twice, as I remember (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudauri). I recall seeing - and being incredibly jealous of - the heliskiing done by some visiting Austrians, they had access to essentially infinite terrain with just humongous vertical and would fly around all day. Except when a couple of them died in the self-caused avalanche. Oh well, live hard, possibly die hard.

On the second trip to Gudauri, we stayed way up in the mountains near the resort instead of in the valley, like we did on the first trip. It was an excellent choice for first 3 days, but then it snowed straight for a week and produced the largest snowfall I've ever been at. You could only leave the hotel from the second floor balcony, and then you'd fall right through several meters of snow. My brother and I spent a lot of hours jumping from the top of the bus into that snow and trying to swim up. When we'd get tired, we'd play on a really torn up billiards table upstairs.

There was no skiing as the resort was closed, there was no way to get off the mountain, there was no food and at many points no heat or electricity. There were, however, a lot of tough and unshaven guys with kalashnikovs who were stuck in front of the pass that they wanted to go over to do some fun fighting in nearby valley - we're looking at the end of USSR time here, it was Ossetia I think, and the dudes with guns got to eat whatever the hotel still had, but for us my parents just fed us sugar cubes with water for a few days.

At the end of what was supposed to be a dozen days of glorious skiing, all of adults pitched in whatever money they all had and a few of the experienced mountaineers (my father included) left very early, plowed through the snow heading back down and about 6 hours later brought a large MI-6 to get us all airlifted out. To this day this was my only helicopter ride, and a great memory. All of our stuff tossed into this cavernous beast, and just a few minutes flight, and we were back to civilization where I remember how wonderful road-side khachapuri tasted after 4 days of sugar cubes and water.

Anyhow, I highly recommend this country. Incredible people, wonderful nature, great architecture, delicious food, tasty wine. Visit if you can. I am trying to convince my family to do this or Armenia, but it's a difficult sale not least because of the heavy lift to get there from USA.

Yes, as long as the plastic ends up in a proper landfill, it won't cause harm to the environment. In places with good waste management practices, like the U.S., nearly all plastic trash ends up in a landfill. As a result, the U.S. is responsible for only ~0.25% of plastic in the ocean [1].

To put this in perspective, if you got the Philippines to reduce the amount of plastic it sends to the ocean by just 1%, it would have a larger impact on ocean plastic than completely eliminating plastic in the U.S.

All undefined behaviour is well defined for each compiler, what it really means is implementation defined and subject to change without notice or documentation with every compiler version or host os what flags are enabled or a thousand other things.
Why use an approach which strictly relies on specific versions of specific compilers, rather than a completely portable and standard compliant struct with char array and a few char pointers? Or if you want a convenient interface and aren't explicitly writing for the kernel, switch to a restricted subset of C++ and do it right?

I think climate change and the human factor are very easy to accept. Although, some years ago after listening to Freeman Dyson on the topic, I became aware that acknowledging the phenomenon doesn't imply that we necessarily also know where it will lead and what to do about it. Yet, many of the proponents are acting exactly as such, pushing their own agenda. Hence all the ensuing politics.

Oh, agreed on small cars being much more nimble and so maybe more safe in practice. I am 100% sure that a lot of SUV and truck buyers are doing so because they perceive them as "winners" in crashes, though. Some also, and relatedly, like the better visibility (but what's that doing to everyone else's visibility? Oh well, who cares).

Source: they'll just tell you, it's not a secret.

(yes, of course, some people actually use trucks enough for real truck-things that it makes some sense for them to own one, I'm not denying that such folks exist, and there are even quite a few of them—there are also plenty of Suburban Commandos, though, and lots of them are women who, again, will tell you that one reason they want a giant car is for perceived safety, so not just your usual "compensating for something" sorts)

Amazon is absolutely a red flag on the resume.

Many hiring managers (like myself) do not want to import the toxic, backstabbing, PIP culture from Amazon into our org.

Also I’ve noticed the quality of Amazon engineers is lower, on average, compared to Google, ByteDance, FB, Stripe, etc.

My advice is to work somewhere not-Amazon for a year or two. Then you’ll get more bites.
Just because Mr X gives me 50 when he owes me 500, and I'd have 0 if he didn't exist, doesn't mean he's not taking advantage of me.
Well, the terms "sane" and "insane" aren't really very helpful. "Insane" could cover almost any unusual kind of experience or behaviour. "Sane" is equally flexible in meaning.

Psychosis is not a disease or condition; it's a symptom supporting the diagnosis of a wide variety of conditions, and is sometimes a direct result of childhood trauma, which can be susceptible to complete remission through therapy.

So you're right - it's not always forever.

Apparently some psychotherapists contend that all of those conditions characterised by psychosis are the result of childhood trauma. [citation needed]
> Now, a market maker is a participant that is _solely_ interested in making money off that bid/ask spread, basically like a sports bookie. They're willing to always be in the market, on both sides, and take the spread whenever someone crosses over. So if say AMZN is trading at 3332.95 x 3333.05, they'll be offering to buy at 3332.95, and sell at 3333.05,

I guess my question is, how is that different, what they're doing, vs someone crossing over but the money goes directly to the other party? I notice you said the market maker is listing the same prices, I'm trying to visualize how their action is any different than the exact same spread/scenario but the buyer crosses over to the seller and the same trade happens. What is actually different?

> you start pulling your bids or asks away from the best bid/ask to try and bias future trades back into a 50/50 ratio

Also are you saying that the market maker dictates the bid ask spread and not the highest bidder/lowest seller
easily change the background, that is; registry editing and even binary patching are pretty common amongst Windows power users. (Why a power user would end up with Win7 starter is a different question. But a quick search shows that it can be done, they just removed the GUI.)

The abandonment of hierarchy. Hierarchy is what poisons communication pathways and destroys the "updates" of the production goals through communication with the customers. Domain-castles start to come up, turning into silos, making it necessary to "enforce" communication via process-pathways.

Agile was and in my eyes still is, the anti-thesis to anyone in it for the prestige, the power and control.

Its the difference between "Military Orders" based hierarchical command and Mission based command.

The actual interview text keeps hammering down on the same talking points so repetitively and unimaginatively, that it quickly becomes hard to get past first couple of pages. If a bit of information can be briefly, just for the sake of argument, defined as a difference that makes a difference, the book you mention makes a few starting laps and then halts at making a difference in its over-arching narrative with a remarkable braking force.

In other words, aside from “think for yourself” message, (sadly) it’s a classic example of a bad “business” book, annotations included. Mystery and woo-woo are also present, so yeah, there’s that.
