I love walking and there are many parks next to where I live. However I am never able to fully enjoy it or indulge in any longer thinking activities as most of the time I'll be interrupted by either elderly people asking me "to go back where I came from" or random ID checks by undercover police. This happened a lot (5x times) over the last year when I decide to go and walk in a park, once even during an online call with my team. I live in a medium sized city in Germany and come from North Africa / France and it might show a bit too much.
As a mitigation I once seriously considered changing how I look by for example dressing more like a dad or walking the neighbors dog as an alibi for being "normal". Maybe it would have interested the old ladies too, who knows.
For the time being I'll keep at walking on streets or inside the city as it's less strange to see foreigners there. Can't wait to have my private forest :')
Unfortunately you've fallen for their ruse. Location history in Google applications is not the issue. There is a completely different mechanism built into Google's rootkit on every phone, known as Google Play Services. It collects "anonymous" location data through the operation of Google Location Service (GLS) bundled with Android. It's the thing that provides "high accuracy" location.

This is not tied to Google applications, your account, etc. It's in the system software. It is underneath everything and it basically services all location requests from all apps.

Because Google believes this is anonymized data, it doesn't feel that you should have well-labeled controls over it.

To disable this data collection, you must disable "High accuracy location" in Android systems menus.

There's a reason why there is a click-through agreement. It constitutes "consent" in the eyes of Google lawyers.

A road bike on a bike path with a rider worth their salt is a bit silly as well.

The thing with riding that on a bike path was that I had no concerns slowing down amongst pedestrians or on blind corners as it was no effort to get back up to speed. I was less inclined on my road bike due to the effort. Road bikes can get up to that speed, had a few that came close to pacing me. I understand the sentiment but I had zero incidents in four years of commuting. I was courteous, used a bell. Half my ride was up hill on the path and it did 30km/hr there. Everyone went pretty fast down of course.

I'll admit, I did enjoy passing spandex on expensive bikes with my beater bike wearing jeans. This was a decade ago when ebikes were not at all a thing.
"dynamic programming" and "dynamic programming language" and "dynamically typed programming language" are all different terms and mean different things.
I wonder why we even bother trying to support these hardware vendors sometimes. I have been trying really hard to simply not deal with them for my own sanity. Are we not simply letting the leash out further for what we will accept and buy? Are we truly
that powerless against the market forces which drive HW/OS sales?
IMHO It highly depends on company you work in. Company culture to hire only ppl with high values like you can push you further.

If company hiring fails and gets too many self-centred ppl in, you land in the situation like you describe.

It ofcourse makes it very frustrating and as someone in similar situation you describe my only option to change it is to jump the ship.
The biggest problem with the discussions on most subject is that everyone cherrypicks their data or just don't have whole picture. And this picture is a realy big one.

For example Sweden already had a big spread because of the big traveling weeks of school holidays. People tend to cluster together in certain areas from different countries. The Finish people goes to this location in the alps, the Norwegians to this other, and the Swedes to this third place. Turns out the third place had a superspreader in the pub. Mystery solved?
In Singapore, Banks send regular reminders that they will never ask us for our personal information over a phone call. It is slowly becoming "common knowledge" among the non-tech-savvy folk I meet in everyday life.
I'm happy you asked! :) I think these terms are very vague, and I haven't found a good way to be more clear. For me a "real repl" includes:

1. Decent support from the language to do REPLy things

E.g. being able to change a function during runtime. Imagine an animation which is defined by perhaps: `(defn anim [time v] (* time v))`. Now you want to try something else, without having to recreate all state, so you just do `(defn anim [time v] (* time v v))` and hit Ctrl+L ("load file"). Oh, it seems I need to reset the animation, so I add some code to reset just the part of the state needed. Now I'm able to hit Ctrl+L and it'll run the new animation each time. The ability to do this ad-hoc anywhere in my code is so flow-inducing it's crazy. And I do this for games, web servers and browser GUIs. It's surprisingly general!

2. Editor support

The Ctrl+L I mentioned above is something I do in my editor to send code from my editor to the repl server. I haven't tried Ipython, but I'm guessing it might work similarly to node, where the client and server are kind of stuck together. With a "real repl", you generally use your editor as the client. Here's a video I've made that shows how this can look: https://youtu.be/Enumt6qxAgc?t=667

I know it's often possible to disconnect these (I've tried connecting my editor to the chrome debugger -- that's pretty cool!), but it doesn't seem to be in common use, which leads to...

3. Libraries supporting being run from REPLs

One not-so-uncommon problem is that e.g. a web server or game loop might block the REPL. This one is probably the hardest one to fix for existing languages and their libraries. There are often ways around this, like running on multiple threads, but that can lead to new problems. Even in clojure, I've had problems due to java libraries blocking (e.g. game lib LWJGL). It doesn't help that on macos all GUI related calls must be done on the main thread (so running LWJGL on one thread and repl on other breaks things). So far with janet I've managed to solve these issues easily thanks to the event loop (which iiuc works similar to js event loop).

---

I think the main thing to realize is that this way of developing leads to new possibilities of exploring software development. Suddenly you're able to experiment quicker, in a way that sometimes leads to typing speed being a bottleneck! :D It feels really cool, and I want to share this feeling of flow with as many as possible.
EU? This comes from UK
But when you look at the average distance between two random people who live in the same town/city it would probably indicate that lack of contact doesn’t explain any success they’ve had with their numbers

No, obviously i am wrong here. nix users doesn't larp as mainframe administrator, no way. They just simply doing the same, but it is definetely different, because they doing it on a pc.
Man, i am speechless. Are you one of those who advocates for unix user handling, so you can abuse it to separate processes and don't even notice, how stupid to follow practices from the 60's? But hey, you can have an apache user...

Done.

Do you disagree that your writing says "the onus for lost finger is on SawStop"? Your writing seems very clear to me. I do not know why you are confused.
I've been driving full sized vans since I got my license. In fact I took my driving test in a Dodge Tradesman. That thing is maybe a smidge smaller than my current van.

I've been watching SUV's and Trucks get bigger and bigger over the last twenty years. Back in the 90's wasn't that common to share the road with anything the same size other than heavy work trucks and other vans. Now a lot of SUV's and weekend warrior trucks are as big/bigger.

Note: the "multiplex test" is most likely still a PCR test (just 'multiplex PCR' instead of 'single-probe PCR'), so where you say "PCR only detects SARS CoV 2" it should say "the currently-used PCR test only detects SARS CoV 2".

>Pavement is a very poor conductor, energy doesn’t move easily through it.

Oh dear I'm certainly not proposing running electricity through the pavement itself. I'm suggesting you harvest the heat from the asphalt with e.g. a thermocouple and use that to produce a voltage.

>The Delta between ambient air temp and pavement temp low.

Perhaps, but not between the pavement and the soil a foot or so underneath.

I can also do this, I discovered it one day when I noticed that I could change the brightness of what I saw, and I wondered if that was purely in my head or if it actually changed my pupil, so I repeated the experiment with my wife observing it, I think we even filmed it and sent it to one of her professors who'd like to see it.

But as the twitter thread shows, lots of people can do that.

As a person who walked 8/15 hours for two months straight I can relate to most of the statements written by the author. I believe that listening to music or other recordings takes away from the experience and the mental gains that walking provides, and this is why I skip the headphones during my adventures.

I can attest that after 10 days of continuous autonomous movement the mind switches to a "primordial" state that, as a non academic, I believe can be very easily attributable to our nomadic, hunter-gatherer past.

Attention gets sharper, acumen rings free, the range of senses expands, creative impulses flourish and it's easier to perform tasks in unexpectedly smart ways.

I suggest those who would like to give it a try embark on a walking adventure that is at least two weeks long, either on pilgrimage routes (which offer great views and allow one to save money thanks to the hospitality options available) like the Camino de Santiago de Compostela / Fatima or long trails such as the Appalachian Trail.
A) White people, like black people are not homogenous, so certain white groups could benefit from being targeted

B) There are more white people in America than black people. So, while in relative terms there may be less vaccinated black than white people, in absolute terms, there are more unvaccinated white than black people.

The vaccines don't care about the proportion of various demographic groups. The community benefits from there being more vaccinated people overall.
Cloud computing is also like 100-200% surcharged, even after volume discounting. If you are not rapidly growing with uncertainty over resource requirements, you're going to get far better financial outcomes by taking your infra in-house. Example: Uber.
I'd always assumed (UK) that 9 was a deliberate choice to make it easier to dial the emergency number, 999, because you can just mash 9 until something happens. I guess if it's the same number in all other countries who have a range of emergency numbers, then that might not be the reason.

It's interesting that tools like VB were derided by many and the practitioners looked down on. Meanwhile they were productive tools, they did live up to their name.
I think the word has been used in so many different ways... that maybe it's better to just create your own definition.

Mine would be this (for both nerd and hacker): Someone with an almost insatiable curiosity, who will tinker around with hard- and software even in their free time, next to work and studying for example. Someone who has side projects... Someone who is so interested in the inner workings of the things and technology around them that even encountering normal everyday technological things will result in ideas popping up in their head on what out of the ordinary but interesting things could be done with those things.

Personally, I identify with it because of that endless curiosity. I think that in a way it may seem a bit weird because... the curiosity is so burning that we just can't stop tinkering and hacking around until we get what we want to do.

Also I believe that a black hat hacker is the same... I'm not talking about the ordinary small criminal but about the guy who hacks something that is thought of being safe and unhackable. Because that is the guy who just couldn't stop and couldn't accept that, his curiosity was so overwhelming that he even did something ethically questionable.

Tho I agree in some part with whats stated, a title containg something as "even my bigoted critics" making it personal only takes credit away from this type of publications taking it from... "Meh they have a point" to... "Meh just another flower complaining" if you want to make something objective you take yourself and your "experiences" (whatever that means) out of the equation. Who are you to tell they are the biggots, who is there to say that by enclosing larges grops of people and giving all them a sort of group mentality out of "your perception" of them (all) sharing a similar mindset the autos is not itself becoming a biggot....

I can’t believe I’ve seen a link to ES in the wild! I used to love this website. Back in 2010 it was like a second home to me. That was before electric vehicles had undergone the revolution that was brought by Elon musk. If you wanted an electric vehicle that was good you had to literally build it yourself. I think the white zombie will always be the pinnacle of that era. And the countless ebikes that people made.

I haven’t been keeping up with the forums lately. The last I checked, the bottle neck for performance was people’s motors overheating. So there was a general effort to take a stock motor from China and drill coolant channels into it and attach a cooling loop. Dr base had some promising progress but I’m not sure anyone ever finished it.

There used to be this guy who you could send your inverter to in SF who would add extra solder to the power traces and modify it from stock to juiced up and ready for tons of current. The atmosphere in that website was just perfect because it was just a bunch of dudes who were a weird combination of speed freaks and electronics nerds. Amazing times.

In order to use these findings to argue for or against vaccination, you'd first need to know what percentage of Covid-19 infections will cause myocarditis, and then compare them to the number caused by vaccinations.

My understanding is that Covid-19 infections will cause similar side effects at a far higher rate than vaccinations, but I am not sure whether it's also true for this specific age group.
My working theory is that in old times phones had rotary dial instead of key pad. Number 1 was the longest to dial, 9 was the shortest (as I remember from childhood days). Thus, fastest way to dial 3 digit code was to use numbers with as much as 9 as possible (997,998,999).

Philips history in 6 chapters, written up by RF engineer with 30 years at Philips/NXP https://www.maximus-randd.com/technology-history.html TLDR Commodore level management. It ends with picking inferior but marginally cheaper third party components for TVs instead of using own internal products developed specifically for the role, in effect sinking R&D budget and destroying market leader position.

WSP (World Standard Pinning) "standardization" story with management naive dreams of selling own products in Asia without cannibalizing home European market while simultaneously moving Consumer Hardware Development to Asia .. where all the hardware was thereafter designed with Asian parts first was priceless.

Philips TV division deciding to second source, skipping Philips Tuners division thus eroding own company market share and profit. Then in turn Philips Tuners division commissioning a cheaper clone of Philips MOPLL from Siemens with a huge minimal volume quota, consequently eroding Philips Semiconductors market share by 25% and forcing Tuner division to manufacture inferior products with already obsolete part. Just beautiful, <Chef's Kiss>, Pure genius!

I think what is being professed here is that developers should understand something about the ops side of the fence. They should be able to feel that pain.

Likewise, I think operations personnel should know something about the dev side of the house. They should be able to feel that pain.

In this way, the devs can work better with the ops, and the ops can work better with the devs.

And we get DevOps.

That should be the goal, anyway.
