I’m interested in the thesis, because a lot of Buddhist intro texts I’ve got into warn about going down the rabbit hole alone and without instruction. Meditation practice (or certain plant medicines) can put you in a state of feeling you are one with god, but this can manifest as “I’m the one who is god” otherwise known as a psychotic break (mentioned in Ram Dass’s Be Here Now)[0]

But this study is something Paula Poundstone would have a field day with. Here’s my interpretation: students who were given the breath-focus-training felt like they got something done for the day and students who weren’t given anything to do didn’t want the day to go to waste so they figured why not, I’ll stuff some ads in envelopes.

Are these studies even meant to be published and taken seriously by the press? Sometimes I think these weak studies are just student projects going through the motions of how you might design an experiment.

You’re misrepresenting my argument.

I did not say Electron intrinsically produces snappy apps. I said that one CAN produce snappy Electron apps.

Which is indeed true, but as highlighted elsewhere by more reasonable individuals - the baseline for the web is slow. It requires expertise to do right, and in ways other platforms might not demand.

The benefit? Run it everywhere. The downside? $$$ and time. That’s why most just take their “run everywhere” benefit and accept the fact their app is going to be slow and/or a hog.

We’re discussing the platform’s potential, not the common case result of the platform’s broad userbase.

Elixir and Phoenix uptime monitor for websites and web apps #3: Data models
Data models, contexts in Elixir, as well as modular design, explained. You have them all covered in the third part of our Elixir/Phoenix uptime monitor tutorial series!
This is, unfortunately, a very common occurrence when GUI frameworks are concerned. For some reason, framework authors like to mislead and say that their framework is native, when it looks native but actually isn't. WX and SWT are the two notable exceptions here, they do indeed use native OS controls.

If you want to use a native GUI framework because of accessibility, check if it's as native as it claims.
It’s nothing to do with Electron specifically and everything to do with the web as a platform and the requisite work to make performant apps.
Let’s do that - on highways where it’s worth the investment. And let’s stop pretending that self-driving is in any way viable on normal roads. Outside of that relatively controlled environment, there are too many inputs and the reasoning requires is too complex.
According to their github profile, 3 of the top 10 contributors to git list github as their employer. https://github.com/git/git/graphs/contributors

In addition, one lists MS. Not sure if that counts.

If you restrict yourself to contributions since Jan 1, 2020, you'll even find 4 "proper" Github employees in the top 10, and the 1 MS employee.

Pretty sure you modified your message after I replied to you at first place. This isn't very honest.
Do you know that you're going to get that fun though? Most of the time you don't, really, and then spending $150 on something unknown is way too much of a commitment. I would not mind at all in retrospect, for a game that I really liked, but I could not have predicted that when buying them.

So the question turns into how to monetize that. And DLCs, microtransactions, and subscriptions seem to be an answer.
Cross-platform Intellisense support in VSCode with the Microsoft C/C++ extension has improved a lot lately, especially in combination with the CMake Tool extension to automatically discover header search paths and other compilation settings (it used to be very brittle in the beginning on Linux and Mac).

But if you're coding C/C++ in a "proper" IDE like Visual Studio, CLion or Xcode, such features are expected to work out of the box. IME, Intellisense-like features are usually only a pain to setup in "non-integated" development environments like Vim or other text editors.
Naturally it depends on what you are doing, but for regular Win16/Win32 code that uses Windows type macros and no low level tricks pretty much so.

And even if you take Win16 out of the picture, Win32 exists since 1995.
The original ASP.NET of 2002ish had drag and drop interface design like VB6! Although the rails MVC model won out, for simple apps it wasn’t a bad way to develop. It had some pains though, by trying to follow desktop so closely it required a large amount of state data flowing up and down from the page.
When used to filter out computers from humans such a procedure is known as a Turing test.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by short term effect, the first sentence in the article you linked mentions it's an incurable disease and it took them years to admit it was linked to Pandemrix.

English is not my native language so maybe I didn't understand what you meant by that.
A recent study suggests that the BBC uses phrases like 'a recent study suggests' when they actually mean there's some anecdotal evidence.
Care to elaborate?

From your short sentence, I can only guess what you mean, and it is at odds of what I get from the article, which says:

I'd like to respond to all three responses: We have the ability to monitor upstream traffic. If Apple takes away that ability to see what's being pushed on the device, we can look for suspicious traffic on the router or network level. I personally don't let any of my devices communicate with known Apple, Facebook, Microsoft or Adobe IP addresses, so it'll be interesting if they suddenly start popping up new addresses in order to do so.
in your present circumstance you cannot have it both ways i.e. money as well as enjoyable work. You have to compromise and let go of something either money or your time at work. My suggestion is to let go of money take the 2/3rd pay cut for enjoyble job.
I was in similar situation few years ago with golden handcuffs but somehow i just quit one day without thinking much about it, that was the best decision of my life, initially i thought i made a mistake, everyone else i.e. colleagues, bosses, friends, siblings also thought it was a mistake but after few months i was amazed how i was able to live with that miserable job for so many years. I also realized that money wasn't that much of an issue as i assumed it to be. My health improved, my relationships improved, my perspective in life improved and my happiness and contentment in life in general also improved. Moreover when i look at people making billions i no longer feel that have anything more than me , they can just experience some exotic things that money can buy but ulitmately what is the point of that experience? happiness? if you are happy nothing else matters.
Set your priorities right.
The US has a winner-take-all approach. If a district votes 40% party X and 60% party Y, then party Y gets all of the representatives.

These numbers are not atypical. So generally in the US, 40% of voters are not represented.

A parliamentary democracy with proportional representation would, assuming say 10 seats for a 'state', split those 10 seats according to the vote. So you'd get 40 X'ers and 60 Y'ers.

However, the parliamentary allows smaller parties to emerge, and as the support of a smaller party is necessary to get a majority of overall votes, the smaller parties have real power.
Hi Andreas,

It's astonishing how much you've achieved with SerenityOS. The sheer amount of high-quality YouTube videos explaining the process is unprecedented. Keep up the good work!

This is impossible. They told us the vaccine would stop spread so we could all go back to normal. They must have made mistakes testing these people, or tabulating the data, or something.
Hi, the author here. Psst is definitely in alpha, and the CLI is indeed just an example (it's what I was using to test the core mechanisms). I'm sorry the accessibility is so bad now, but Druid, the GUI library, takes it very seriously -- which is not very common in custom GUI frameworks. So, fingers crossed, it should get better soon.

Apparently you missed my go vet reference on purpose, just make all of us aware of it not being the same.

Same applies to using on .NET, where forgetting to call using on an IDisposable type can trigger a compiler error, via Roslyn plugins.

Also seem to be unaware how closure based RAII works on FP languages.

RAII isn't triggered on heap allocated objects unless smart pointers are used everywhere.

Python doesn't have a static analysis tool for with, nor does it support value types with stack allocation. Not all GC languages were born equal.
There's a difference between real charity and a charitable impulse. A charitable impulse is good and it's what's being measured here. Real charity as it exists in our world breeds horrible dependency issues and is responsible for keeping entire continents in a state of forced infancy.

The phone also doesn't know whether something is about to be uploaded or not. Therefore, all files on the phone will be checked is the relevant portion of that sentence.
If you want to download from YT i recommend NewPipe, better than every dodgy browser extension (i shall install another program on my machine? GTFO) i tried. You can just get the audio too. Android only though .
I just checked Spotify, and it seems like yes, it does now get focused automatically, not sure if it was always that way, or I just feel that I need to click the textbox after choosing the menu item on the left hand side.

That being said, it was still much friendlier to have a search box that you could click on straight away. From a UX perspective, you need to move your focus away from where you have clicked, because the textbox is in a different area of view.

Clicking back on the search menu clears the search that you were doing. It's fine, you can click the back button, but the old Spotify client (iirc!) would keep your previous search in the search box.
I‘d be interested in the time being spent running user-data modifications, so benchmarking bootstrapping scripts would be possible.
Unfortunately there's no single good source for this; 30% is just an approximate aggregate figure I've come up with after seeing various people's posts on different sites.

COVID is not nearly as deadly and we know this after 18 months of living with it.

Please stop comparing the two.
> Get people vaccinated

Repeating this line doesn't really work anymore. I vaccinated myself and my whole family months ago, my county has ~80% full vaccination rate, anyone and everyone who could and wanted to, got a shot already.

Yet, there are 90 million people in this country that don't give a shit and will not vaccinate. Worse, soon the vaccine will probably wear out, and then the whole country will have to be convinced all over again to get a booster shot, who knows how many times, too. And then there is stuff like TFA that says that although vaccines are the best we've got so far, vaccinated people still end up in the hospital.

So although I'll personally line up for any booster shots the moment they become available, the reality is probably going to get much more complicated than vaccinating everyone and moving on.

First paragraph of the article:

> In a previous blog post, we discussed how GitHub was using a new mode of git repack to implement our repository maintenance jobs. In Git 2.32, many of those patches were released in the open-source Git project

It looks like GH needed a better algo for git repack. Implemented a better algo for git repack. And contributed the better algo for git repack to the open source project. You can now use the better algo for git repack yourself without using GH.

It's fair to say they made the change

Whenever I've looked to Buddhist sources for meditation instruction, they've usually stressed the importance of "metta" or "loving-kindness" meditation. This practice involves generating empathy towards yourself, those close to you, neutral people, and enemies or "difficult" people.

So I wonder if there is a black hole or neutron star headed the other way at 2M MPH.

It's a slightly terrifying thought that such objects could exist.
those number are inflated and the efficacy of that spending is very low, more a feelgood waste
Written. I've done some podcasts, they're fun but really hard work. I go for the lowbrow explainer shortform stuff. Others do Longform slow thoughtful which I prefer to read but it's harder to write!
Yet again, the difference between conspiracy theory and reality is 6-12 months.
Why is that funny? It's supposed to be a substitute, not something entirely different altogether.
Yeah otherwise it would be even less than 1% nowadays.
Sure, still the pictures of fleeing NATO troops and personal is quite powerful. It certainly doesn't project strength.
Exactly. I'm very skeptical about the percentage of plastic that is supposedly recycled. Furthermore, even if the plastic is actually recycled, most plastics e.g. polypropylene can only be recycled once.
Read the article. It's a decent controlled study.
At least amongst my friends, the equity portion % has mostly stayed the same as past years, but the cash comp has gone up significantly. That sort of makes sense to me.

But in the end, if you have a great exit, your 0.1% or whatever equity should still beat your cash compensation. But again, not everyone gets to have an exit where their equity is worth something, much less a great one where the equity is worth a lot.
My Monzo card has a magstripe still, but I have to enable it in the app if I want to use it.
If you want to do it faster, you need government regulation. Magnetic stripes have been phased out in the EU for a couple of years. And additionally online card payments all require 2FA in EU.

As a result, there's barely any credit card fraud in Europe.

You can't expect the industry to invest in infrastructure if dealing with fraud is cheaper in the short term. You need to force them.

In our case we have to make people download the app, as we can then track how long they've had it and this also ensures the return the box. However, we've also realized that not many people are as tech-savvy as we are, especially the older generation, so we need to think about other alternatives soon if we want this to be feasible. Did you end up downloading your app in the end then?
I'm not sure it's worth it for everyone. If you can afford it, buy the fancy office chair you want but if you think about your health it's better to do sport and take breaks than buying a chair in which you can seat for too many hours without noticing.
The latest trick is for spammers to send MMS and then see who responds. I am still getting texts from people on the thread to stop responding, although now it devolved into a political fight with two numbers constantly texting "Trump won". There is no way to remove myself either... I had to disable GV forwarding, but apparently this is enough of a problem that they are disabling forwarding anyway.
Perhaps that's where my own theory of bullshit jobs diverges from Graeber's then. I'd say a job can be bullshit regardless of whether or not the person doing it agrees.

As for janitors feeling like their jobs are meaningless and office workers feeling meaningful, I'd say that's a reflection of our culture. Universities are full of administrators with fancy titles who probably feel very important, but it's not clear their presence furthers the very important goal of education.
Plastics wouldn't be necessarily my main candidate here.

Gray whales are not like other whales. They eat the mud in the bottom and filter it eating the invertebrate burrowers. This means that the big trofic chain of marine scavengers in soft bottoms is disturbed in some way (some way that has been undetected still) or that Eastern Pacific whales of this species have a Fukush... ehem, health, quote, quote, problem.

A problem that the Atlantic gray Whales don't have for some reason, it seems.

In practice the content that can be challenged under NetzDG is scoped and focused on hate speech and terrorism. While news outlets originally latched onto the "they crush free speech" soundbite, it's really a law to acknowledge the responsibility of the publishing platform for what they're bringing to the world.
I highly recommend this. A swedish girl told me that the reason for them being good at enhlish is they don't get localized movies. Helps picking up colloquial uses of language too, realized that watching japanese movies.
"Global survey finds 74% also want climate crises and protecting nature prioritised over jobs and profit" - I find the results highly optimistic, but hard to believe. I'm working frequently with data and surveys and what people say they want is rarely what they really want or do.

Still, I hope this will give politicians some courage to tackle the problem with full strength.
Your social graph = you. There is no privacy or anonymity in any of these schemes if the data is ever sent to a central server.

I was wondering about this too. Then I realized that the interpreted nature and user friendliness doesn't map to a low power mcu.

You either settle on a hardware that's basically an embedded linux that's way overpowered and runs hot/drains battery OR you let go of the ease of use and get dirty with embedded development tools. If you look up some GBA homebrew you can quickly see why this will remain unpopular.

The third and most ridiculous option would be fabbing a custom low power SoC that has an embedded gpu specifically designed around the pico8 limitations and some extra opcodes that accelerate luaJIT.
Super handy library. I used it for a real-time collaborative map tool [1], it's especially useful when it comes to customization, plus it has many plugins which add a lot of functionality. Leaflet Geoman [2] for instance is great for creating all sorts of geometries on the map, I've personally used it for my tool so users can designate areas and paths. So good.

Or you use contactless payment with your phone which then does not have a 25 EUR limit (actually I think these days it is more like 50 EUR) since the phone supplies some form of authentication, which a plain contactless card can't.
