Pick a small self-contained project that has a very clear end. Work on it periodically, meaning daily, weekly, as schedule permits; but not necessarily for copious amounts of time. Make a small amount of tangible, obvious progress each time. Tangible and obvious are going to be subjective to you and might not mean much to someone else. No matter, this project is for you. You'll feel a spark joy type feeling after some number of periods.

It's important to not rush this and just let it happen while keeping the momentum going. Skipping every so often is ok, but don't skip more than 2 periods in a row. Track your progress in a way that's meaningful to you. Your brain is rewiring itself as you do this so the time it takes might vary depending on overall health.
I find it funny that there are people working (presumably) really hard to replicate the trademark OS X look and feel for other operating systems while Apple is working similarly hard to move away from it as quickly as possible.
There is a talk by german software engineer (fefe) who mentioned this scenario (kind of).

It goes something like this: I never wanted to write software for nuclear power plants or the likes where many lives depended the correctness of my work. Then a few years later I met a guy who was quite lax when it came to software security etc. When we talked he mentionend he worked writing code for nuclear powerplants.
Uneven application of the law seems crucial to keep the system functioning and technology can erode that. Many simple laws, if enforced thoroughly and without prejudice, would become absolutely draconian. It is not even possible for a human to know all the laws we are meant to follow at all times, yet computers can.

After using bare WMs for years, I finally settled on i3 inside KDE[0]. Because I found it painful to manage everything myself (polkit, cgroups, ...) plus I already relied on a couple of features from DEs. It's fun for learning purpose, but not so much when you just want things to get out of your way, especially on a laptop

> Your own device should not betray you.

Apple devices already betray their "owners", and they've been doing it for a long time.

You can't repair them.

You can't run your own software.

You can't use a better, more compliant web browser.

Businesses have to pay a 30% tax.

Businesses are forced to use login with Apple and forfeit a customer relationship.

Businesses have to dance to appease Apple. Their software gets banned, randomly flagged, or unapproved for deployment, sometimes completely on a whim.

Soon, more iDevices and Apple Pay will lead to further entrenchment. Just like in the movie Demolition Man, everything will eventually be Apple. Your car, your movies, your music, your elected officials.
> The vast majority of iPhone users won't consider it a betrayal that they can't send images of child abuse

Probably neither would child abusers, since as soon as they send an image of child abuse, they're much more likely to be caught than if it had stayed on their phone.

> a betrayal by Apple that they allowed their privacy to be so flagrantly violated on their devices up until now.

"Their" devices? Once Apple sells an iPhone, it no longer belongs to Apple. Taking "betrayal" to mean "didn't plant backdoors on other people's computers to catch your abusers" is stretching that word far beyond reason.
For MySQL and JS I’d say they got big off just being the only thing that was there. Browser? JS, no choice. Shared hosting? MySQL, usually no choice.
No because probably most African Americans haven't heard of it.
Not medical advice: Sometimes a powerful spiritual experience can help depression.

I’d say go to like some super old religious worship (I.e not evangelical American one), like an Orthodox Church one with the smells and bells or something. Maybe like a Muslim service, with lots of chants and what not.

Doing stuff like that after fasting would also make your mind be in a different place where it could have a big effect.

Though if that isn’t someone’s thing it might still be a spiritual experience, but it might be a fearful one?

Psilocybin maybe? Could also have a bad spiritual experience on that but I’ve heard many people say they have a good one. I wouldn’t consider doing that unless you were able to be safe and secure doing it.

I know there are material causes of depression, but it doesn’t change that it is a dark spiritual place. (Like if someone drew a painting of their soul while in that dark place, well it would probably be dark).

I don’t know what material changes happen when people go to a brighter spiritual place, nor always how to get there, but when people do get there; sure enough the material things will have changed (new neural pathways???)

Essentially when people are in that dark place, everything they see is dark. Their friend is getting married, and they wonder why am I not. A friend gets a raise, why didn’t I get a raise.

> Except for the people that are unable to get it due to a medical condition. Or unable to get it because they're too young. Or able to get it but it didn't work for them.

> Of course, such people are welcome to not interact with the rest of society.

People who's bodies are at risk are free to avoid participating in society. Being sick sucks, but doesn't give you the right to force others to do medical procedures in order to protect you.

Yes, in our world, participating in society is often mandatory, and not a choice that you can make. That equally applies to people who are sick, and to the people who don't want to be forced to have things done to their body against their will.

There are many communicable diseases, and many things healthy people can be forced to do in order to protect the sick. The choice whether or not to force them is a tradeoff - safety for the society versus freedom for the individual.

People who value individual freedom more than they value safety are simply making a different tradeoff than you do. At some point, a society designed to minimize the risk at the expense of human freedoms becomes a nightmare to live in.

For example, we could significantly reduce the risk of rapes and murders (especially of vulnerable people) by forcing everyone to wear a bodycam and an ankle bracelet. We don't do that because we have decided that this is not a tradeoff worth making.

On the other hand, we did decide to reduce the risk of people dying from drunk driving, we have sacrificed our freedom to drink and drive for the sake of the safety of the other people on the road.

My point is, where you draw the line is a question of your values. Neither side is being "dumb" or "selfish". Some people value social prosperity and safety and are willing to sacrifice their (and other people's) freedoms to increase it. Others value individual rights and freedoms, and are willing to accept some risks and sacrifice some safety in order to not have these rights taken away.

Society without freedoms is better able to protect the vulnerable, and also the life in such society is less worth living.

At least there is work on greatly generalizing convolutions. They're much more broadly applicable (in neural networks) to very differently structured data than they appear to be in their standard form. (The "in neural networks" qualifier is there because quite a bit of this has been understood about the mathematical operation convolution for a long long time).

Your POS mindset is everything that's wrong with America right now.

> This reminds me of vegan bacon.

> If you dont want to eat meat, why try and replicate the taste, texture and sensation of eating meat?

What is this taste, texture, and sensation of meat in regards to bacon you're talking about? Bacon is the opposite of the actual taste, texture, and sensation of meat. It's cooked, salted, and processed to give it that taste, texture, and sensation.

It's the same with people making fun of plant-based burgers and sausages. Well, guess what, burgers and sausages don't exist in nature, neither as meat nor plant. Well, actually... Cucumbers and a few other plants seem quite like sausages. Anyways. The burger, sausage, and bacon form factor is what makes it attractive. It's why people have liked it for so long, and why people like it still when they switch to a plant-based diet.

I guess it's the same reason why some people are into Airyx OS.
I feel it's a little disingenuous to describe millions of innocent people being surveilled as "the offenders" because there are a handful of actual offenders among them.

A new aspect of this is that because this is self-reported, and the end goal is to involve the criminal justice system, there is now (essentially) an API call that causes law enforcement to raid your home.

Why is that so hard? Because of edge-cases? Caching/Timing considerations?
I don't really agree that wheeled delivery is superior when you start to consider how dangerous and varied sidewalks can be - does your wheeled vehicle have the ability to easily manuver stairs or circular stairs? Can it make it over sidewalk fringes without issue - what about when there is snow and ice everywhere? Do you want your drones to have to navigate the social interactions required to ask someone for right of way on a sidewalk or avoid getting in the way (and tripping) a couple that's moving a couch?

I think that when you think of sidewalks you're thinking of how they look in your town (assuming you actually have sidewalks) they look quite different in different areas - in the southwest they're wide, expansive and quite level - in new england they're broken frequently by tree roots and frost heaves and, honestly, frequently just don't exist at all in a lot of the cities.

I do agree that people fetishize "Flying X" but saying that drones are worse than wheels in just about every way is pretty ridiculously hyperbolic - they have tradeoffs and it's quite possible that the market winner will be whoever sends out a van with wheeled delivery vehicles for most runs that can call in a drone if it runs into difficulties.

>This is probably loaded from Stripe's servers so they can do their own updates without customers involvement.

They can make whatever updates they want to the API and publish a new NPM version. Package management exists for a reason. Including scripts on a page like this for web development is simply anachronistic and wrong in 2021. Maybe for just throwing something into a blog site, whatever fine. But it's just not an acceptable practice for application development anymore.
Yes, honestly, I love lisp, although my only claim to being a lisp programmer is that I'm the author of some emacs packages. But I have to admit that yes I've noticed a definite tendency for people in the emacs lisp community to be abrasive and difficult and not very friendly in open source work. I think perhaps more of them are in university-related jobs in europe and hence haven't experienced the wonderful fake friendliness of california tech companies.

If you're on a Mac now, try quickly hitting the menu bar items (at the very top edge of the screen) vs the tabs (below the menu bar, not quite at the edge).

I find the difference quite significant.

Peculiarly, this convenience would flip to the opposite if the screen were touch-enabled!

> Great, you just made the first step and admitted yes there is at least one long term risk from covid infections. I picked a tiny one specifically because it was so easy.

I've never said anything different. I'm not sure what victory you think you've won.

Some people will have long-term symptoms of Covid. Just like pretty much every other virus.

Until I see some serious, well-controlled, high-quality data that shows me that there's an unprecedented risk for a lot of people, I'm not on board with taking unprecedented actions that affect everyone.
It depends on your locale - in southern cities this number is going to be quite a lot higher than 10-20% since a decent number of even detached houses have flat roofs because snow isn't a thing - but heading into northern altitudes only apartment/condo towers will tend to have a flat roof (and some of them even have peeked roofs due to the snow).

It is a violation of their rights. But we have a justice system set up which makes distributing such images knowingly (and committing such acts with the intent to distribute those images) a crime.

It's also incredibly likely this could be used to send people you don't like to prison by sending their phone innocuous images that look like wrong images to an AI.

It's also also incredibly likely this will evolve into scanning for more than just abuse photos, especially in the hands of governments around the world.
Let's put those puzzle pieces together:

In the US, over 300 million doses of covid-19 vaccines have been administered so far. Reported deaths of any cause (regardless of any established connection with the vaccine) among this group was on the order of 6000 people as of the end of July. [0]

US covid-19 cases are around 35 million and 600k deaths. How many of those were "young to not that old"? Well, one count[1] would put us at about 28k under 50, 10k under 40.

Let's be generous to the "vaccines are a threat to the young" position and assume for the sake of argument that ALL of the 6000 VAERS reported deaths were in fact caused by the vaccine and were ALL people under 40. Even making those assumptions, the order-of-magnitude difference in vaccination events vs infection events makes it utterly clear that covid itself is at least 10x more dangerous to people under 40 than receiving a vaccination is.

And if you dig into the adverse vaccine event specifics, my bet is that you find a pretty similar distribution of adverse effects -- sure, some of them are young people, just like some covid deaths are young people, but not most of them.

You need a precise angle but not a precise speed. I can't speak for mice myself, but on my MacBook Pro trackpad, this is still much faster. Indeed, if I try to get the mouse cursor from somewhere near the middle of the screen to somewhere near the top, unless I go very slowly, it's essentially impossible to do it without overshooting and hitting the top. At that point I can turn around and move the cursor back down to the spot I'm trying to hit, but that requires waiting a fraction of a second, or else the high speed I accumulated from accelerating quickly will 'bounce' off the top and send me too far back down.

…Honestly, I don't know why the trackpad acceleration curve behaves that way. I've never consciously noticed this problem before right now, though, so it can't be that bad.

Anyway, of course my experience also differs in that my MacBook Pro does not have a 27" monitor. I could be using a desktop with a large monitor, but I prefer to be able to work from any chair or couch or even lying on the floor. I can see why the global menu bar would be more of a hindrance with a large monitor. But speak for yourself about what people "usually" have. :)

Oh wow, I had no idea that the DS/DS Lite actually had pressure-sensitive screens. I was wondering why no games I played ever took advantage of this, until I found this blurb:

> The ARM7 controls the touchscreen, and the ARM7 supplied by Nintendo that companies must use cannot determine pressure sensitivity, only whether a touch is registered at all or not.

I wonder why Nintendo would do that? Appears it was difficult to calibrate them correctly, might that be the reason?
