I'm glad you were able to look back on your behavior and realize what an embarrassment you have been.

Here's my opportunity to tell you what you so wished to hear: I think in 10 years, you will look back, and realize your history and your embarrassment has repeated itself, and that you've not learned from your mistake. I'm definitely not "convinced" you've learned to read what others are saying, or really put much effort at all into understanding what they've said.

I also hope someday you understand that it is indeed dumb to suggest people pretty much can't go to space, or to suggest that those in wheelchairs pretty much couldn't go in public before the ADA.
I think this covers a lot of good points and I'm happy to see it, but the final section seems like a just-so. I've wondered if the difference in bike-induced-demand=good;cars=bad follows these lines:

- Roads/cars often leads to the phenomena of something like grid-lock. A network might be able to throughput 100 cars a minute when only <=100 cars are trying to get through, but try 101 and it starts dropping: If 120 cars attempt passage at once, congestion actually causes the throughput to drop to like 80 (think of those backward-propagating traffic-wave videos). If 150, throughput drops to 70 etc.

- You can add more roads/highways but if it doesn't address certain chokepoints, that throughput will still start descending at some point (though maybe a bit higher now like 110 cars/minute).

- Sometimes you can address the chokepoints, but after some expansion the remaining chokepoints are essentially having the buildings and city intersections themselves, at which point you can only address the bottleneck by rebuilding buildings further apart, which leads to a cycle of worsening pedestrian access, local-depopulation, and more cars.

- And then finally, maybe bikes are different in that they are small and agile with a congestion-failure-mode of being walked. It's hard or unlikely to get to a bike usage level that would lead you to want to move buildings very far apart to support them.

- Or maybe bikes are just simply so small that the preferred distance between buildings anyway (for sun light, privacy) can support most realistic biking numbers (which would be limited by density limits anyways: elevators only practically go so high, commuting biking trips can only be so far).

- Ultimately I wish there as a bit more explained here, maybe by someone that designs traffic/city simulations if that's how the best cost/benefits are tested now. It's really confusing that urban planning advocates concentrate on the un-improving car-trip-time/congestion KPIs like it's a dunk when it really seems some throughput-capacity utility metric would be more important.
You can see the votes jumping up and down on every refresh.

The problem is, you are only "this" far away from Apple engineers and third parties perusing your private photos due to a photo that triggers false positives.

I've been following recent developments in Israel closely. And the numbers, I've always prioritized numbers over adjectives. There's no good way to asses risk without numbers.
What do you think the step forward is here?

The developers are still not allowed to communicate about alternate purchase options in the app, they would need to have some other form of communication with the user. Such advertising via side-channels was never forbidden, it's just that it's impractical for most developers to establish that side-channel.

I really have to congratulate whoever wrote that press release. They gave away nothing, and even stated that the policy did not change, but still appear to have convinced a ton of people that there was some kind of a concession here.
I'm getting crazy deja vu, I swear I've read this exact thread before.

There are a lot of exclusions based on the type of business. No farming, banking, finance, insurance, hotels, restaurants, "or any trade or business where the principal asset of such trade or business is the reputation or skill of 1 or more of its employees" such as doctors, accountants, consultants, etc.

It's a slightly contrived example, but it demonstrates a real situation that can come up. Suppose instead it was:

const drinkingAge = 21

persons
.map(p => ({ ...p, canDrink: p.age >= drinkingAge }))
.filter(p => p.canDrink)
.slice(0, 5);

Assuming we want `canDrink` to exist in those objects for later use, reversing the steps here would mean duplicating the logic and the work of computing it across the map() and the filter(), instead of keeping those concerns separate and re-using values:

const drinkingAge = 21

persons
.filter(p => p.age >= drinkingAge)
.map(p => ({ ...p, canDrink: p.age >= drinkingAge }))
.slice(0, 5);

You could of course share the business logic by abstracting it into a function:

const drinkingAge = 21

function canDrink(person) {
return person.age > drinkingAge
}

persons
.filter(p => canDrink(p))
.map(p => ({ ...p, canDrink: canDrink(p) }))
.slice(0, 5);

But you'd still be doing the work twice. In this example it's trivial, but in a real-world scenario it might not be.
Oh good grief, does 996 mean what I think it does?
Snowboard looks great. Congrats on the launch! At my work we currently use this open source tool https://www.amundsen.io/amundsen/ mostly to search schemas and tables. Curious to see the differences with Snowboard.
petty xenophobia

Was it facts? How does stating the facts of how things were done in the late stages of the USSR space program and are done in the current Russian space program translate to petty xenophobia?

If you want xenophobia, didn't the Russians accuse us of drilling holes in their space station module? Or was that just domestic propaganda?
No, I mean contributing to the packaging codebase. That graph is from https://trends.debian.net/#version-control-system , which has information about Debian packaging codebases ("source packages").

If anyone other than the package's maintainer / member of the maintaining team (whether a fellow Debian developer, an upstream author/contributor, or a user) has a contribution to make to the Debian package, they should contact the Debian maintainer. In 2007, for almost every package, the only way to do that would be to send the maintainer a patch file, generally through the Debian bug tracking system. (Nowadays, the majority of Debian packaging repos are on https://salsa.debian.org, a GitLab instance, and you can usually open a merge request there and maintainers will notice and accept them.)

The Debian packaging repo consists of, effectively, a build recipe and possibly pre/post install/remove scripts to run on the end user's system. (In practice there are common tools to do the build and to generate those scripts, so you'll find a lot of files to influence the behavior of such tools.) It can also consist of extra changes added by Debian, such as missing manpages or translations, or even patches to the code.

If you have a change to make to a piece of software packaged in Debian, but it's unsuitable for the upstream repo, you can send it to the Debian maintainer and ask them to include it in the packaging repo.

(It also used to be a vague norm that you would always contact the Debian maintainer, who would forward contributions onto upstream if suitable. It's questionable whether that was the right model, and it's certainly not the norm today.)

One of my favorite books. I like the Fr. Brown stories but TMWWT has stuck with me. The vivid richness of the descriptions could only have come from an artist. In a way he reminds me of Leon Garfield (The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris especially).

> What is making you feel locked into iMessage?

It’s hard because you have a whole family and/or friends on iMessage, and you need to get everyone to switch. That can be tricky. It’s doable, but it’s definitely harder than, e.g, copying your photos somewhere else. I can do that by myself, but I need to get everyone else on board to switch away from iMessage.
Thanks for your response.

The rat race can wait , I think 6 months focused on game dev will get my game to where I need it to be. And if not, at least I had some fun.

> I guess maybe Korean (Hangul is phonetic, no?).

Wrong, Korean writing is morpho-phonologic and has complex rules for transforming letters to actual pronunciation. And those rules applies at three different level (whatever position in the syllable, across syllable boundaries or not, or just within syllable).
I never used it, however that seems a good approach, if not by encouraging learning to build software instead of blind installing.
I believe one of the arguments used in the suit was along the lines of "Apple, by making the minimum price (other than 'free') for apps and IAPs 99c, prevents us from charging, say, 37c and this harms consumers and is anticompetitive". I believe it was just to provide a clear, verifiable argument that customers were being charged more than they would be in a free market (whereas other things Apple does are infinitely more serious, but also harder to prove and quantify). I'd guess the agreement addresses that to be consistent, even though I don't think anybody truly cares about the granularity of the price tiers.
1-year outcomes in hospital survivors with Covid-19: a longitudinal cohort study
I don't get how this is useful. All of my bill pay are automated and have been for at least a decade. I get paid once a month the total cost of my bills goes to one account and from the rest a portion goes to savings and a portion to a spending account. As my bills get paid the bills account gradually decreases to near zero and at the beginning of each month it's refilled automatically with my direct deposit. I never have to think about paying bills late and have infact never missed a payment.
> In practice the low-order bits of transcendental functions are pretty much indistinguishable from random for _most_ inputs.

In my experience, low order bits of transcendental functions make terrible rng sources (even discounting their runtime). Your example of the logarithm is great -- for large inputs, you need large changes to flip even low order bits.
Also, a warning on Western Digital”s SN750 SE series. These are PCIe 4.0 protocol ones that claim to outperform the regular SN750 drives. In reality they’re slower because they’re DRAM-less. Last I checked they were the same price, so be careful to not get the SE model.
Millions of people have died in less than two years, 650,000 where I live in the US. More specifically here in Florida, ICU capacity is at 93%, and cases/hospitalizations/deaths are at record highs for the entire duration of the pandemic. People are being turned away for cancer treatments because there is simply no room at the hospital. The peak of daily deaths and infections in our state is right now.

This is news because the flu doesn’t do that every year or any year since 1919. It’s news because it’s the deadliest pandemic in over a century, and the death rate in some areas is at its peak and climbing, despite higher vaccination rates then a typical flu season.

I cannot understand why denial of this information is so important to you, but if you continue to spread doubt about taking more precautions than the flu, people may listen to you and those people may die.
Useless Use of GNU
It’s quite amazing what poor practices arise in shared environments.

About 20 years ago I was working with a large company that had dedicated servers in a huge east coast data center. The servers were firewalled, but they also were attached to a secondary network for scheduled backups.

I decided I should explore that further, and sure enough I was able to connect via SSH to other customers’ servers.

I alerted the hosting company, but they didn’t seem to take it very seriously.

Must say I find it odd that what was kinda common knowledge for those of that time in tech for today to be a hell, believe me there are far better hells of that era, IRQ sharing and what PCI/ISA slots also shared with onboard devices like various ports.

> Apple will offer more price points for apps. Today there are less than 100, but the company is committing to increase that to more than 500 options.

I really hope they implemented this as an enum, so someone has to wade through:

ONE_DOLLAR = 2;
TWENTY_DOLLARS = 3;
NINETEY_EIGHT_CENTS = 4;

TEN_DOLLARS_PER_MONTH = 6;
PORTUGAL_NATIONAL_BALLOON_DAY_2019_SPECIAL_NINTEY_NINE_CENTS = 7;

I’ve heard that action alone triggers an advance from the CCP

More likely it triggers more lipservice but people havent been willing to risk it (nor has there been broad enough consensus in Taiwan to relinquish their own claims to the name and the mainland and the same other territorial expansionist policies that the CCP has, people seem to forget that)
I too have owned a tungsten rod for the same reasons. it's very nearly exactly the same density as gold, but cheaper.
A lot of developers pay for their IDE (PHPStorm, for example). And a lot of software accept donations. I don't think people think money is evil, but to accept it, you need to be able to receive it, and that might be too much overhead for a lot of people.

Also, Mac is a much bigger market than Linux on the desktop, and tends to be used by people with money (for the expensive hardware). More of a profession, less of a hobby.

This is really big news. Waiting to see some more details. Apparently nothing changes if you decide to take in-app payments but you will be able to take payments outside App Store and avoid the 30% cut Apple takes.
You’re overthinking it. And your version does 30 filters instead of 7 anyway.
Greatest risk is alternative app stores which provides apple with no revenue.

Vancouver may have "no industry" relative to SV, but it is a veritable black hole for tech on the west coast of Canada. The same rat race of high-skilled, well-paying jobs only being available in HCoL cities is just as much of an issue north of the border. The even smaller gap between compensation and CoL in Vancouver, Toronto, etc. just serves to make things more miserable.
A complete business day of battery life is "table stakes" now with premium laptops.

- The M1 Macbook Pro get 20 hours of battery.

- The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 gets 20 hours of battery.

- The Dell XPS 13 gets 19 hours of battery

Those are probably the most popular laptop models in use today in the category of premium laptops, which is the category of computer I think the majority of people reading this comment will be using.

Cheaper laptops will not be as good as that, but evenmost of $600-800 laptops will get 8-10 hours of battery life.

Given the cost of housing in major cities, and the relatively lower cost in far away suburbs, doesn’t the argument about development patterns imply that building highways will help with cost of housing in the medium-long term?
Let’s look at what these articles are actually saying.. EMPHASIS is mine below:

“Also, it’s POSSIBLE that mRNA delivery may change the way antigens are presented to the immune system, leading to differences in the antibodies that get produced. A third difference is that natural infection ONLY exposes the body to the virus in the respiratory tract (unless the illness is very severe), while the vaccine is delivered to muscle, where the immune system MAY have an even better chance of seeing it and responding vigorously.”

After so many words, what has really been said? Something is possible. MAYBE injecting into a muscle is more effective for a vigorous response. But, folks, the natural infection ONLY exposes the body to the virus in the respiratory tract! (As opposed to ONLY the muscle? Neither is true.)

But hey. We already know before even writing the article… that natural immunity is ONLY this or that, while vaccines are DIFFERENT and HOPEFULLY and MAYBE will give longer lasting immunity than natural one (never mind that studies mostly show otherwise)

How do they get from vacuous statements to a firm conclusion that everyone should take the vaccine?

The black market can have higher standards because the barrier for entry is much smaller or nothing which creates more competition.

Having a legal and black market operating side by side can mean more quality and variety for the black market. The drug market is a great example where in places a legal market exists the black market can offer better prices, better quality and a variety of strains the commercial growers cannot.
In many localities, even in the USA, it's been illegal to be outside of your home unless going to or from approved activities. That includes going for a scenic drive in your own car with no actual destination (cruising).
I’m pretty sure the App Store is accounted under “Services” not “iPhone.” $64B sounds about right, but even if services had a 70% margin and hardware had only a 30% margin, hardware would still be the more profitable side of the business at the moment.

I have the same experience in general programming. You start doing something but then you run into a dead end. Then you look for other routes to your destination and find them. If you do it the second time you can avoid those dead-ends, which you didn't even know about when you started.

I think this means we should keep log-books like ship-captains do so we can avoid treacherous waters on subsequent trips.
