So FWIW, I got an XPS 13 9310 at the end of June for $1799 (marked down $200 because of a Costco special) that had an 1185G7, 32GB of RAM, 4K screen, 1TB hard drive. I also configured an almost identical DIY Framework (which will hopefully arrive today) with a bunch of extra modules (Dell just has two USB-C ports and a micro-SD). The drive-out price on the Costco (with tax, which is 10.25% in Seattle) was $1940.38.

The drive out cost on my Framework, which has a better network card, faster RAM (though the Dell RAM is soldered so it is better for battery), an SN850 SSD (I trust WD for the high-end gen4 SSDs), and better port options, was $2032.00. I could have shaved off more than $100 if I chose a different port selection (I got 8 total modules) and didn't get the AC adapter and I could have saved further money if I had chosen the SN759 and the non VPro WiFi adapter (which I probably should have in retrospect)

For $90 extra, I get something repairable, something that that will let me upgrade to 64GB of RAM (32GB is the max on the XPS 13), and something more versatile from a port perspective.

Framework didn't charge tax (that will change, I'm sure as soon as they sell the required amount in various states), but even if we account for that, that would leave us at $2240.38. I'm personally willing to pay a 10% penalty for having something more repairable and sustainable. (Also need to factor in the cost of a Costco membership

That said -- I just checked Dell's website and the Developer Edition with an i7 (1165G7 or 1185G7), 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and 4K screen is $2159.00 before tax. So that's $80 more than my identically configured Framework, but with a lower quality SSD and WiFi adapter. The Dell has a better screen -- though I prefer the 3:2 aspect ratio of the Framework/Surface/Matebook X Pro).

I understand you CAN get a cheaper laptop, but as someone who will be returning the XPS as soon as the Framework arrives (assuming it is half as good as the reviews have been), I'm looking at something that costs the exact same and is also more sustainable.

edited to correct the price different between the XPS with tax and the Framework without. It is $90 difference vs $70.
Supposedly there are programs (Rufus?) that will install Windows to an external drive, but I've never tried that.

I too might consider the Framework laptop if I could boot both Linux and Windows off of a Storage Expansion card.
Then do it. Yeah I'm in the EU, too. A dirty immigrant everywhere but home where I can get my medication, namely Gabapentin and Bupropion. Far cry from an opioid or something, isn't it?

Yet it seems I'd rather be a corpse in a river to these shitheads in Belgium, UK and Germany. But tbf I had a lot of trouble getting this medication back home, too.

Sorry for bothering you with my shit.

I would suggest you go to as many doctors as possible and explain everything.

They'll send you in a lot of circles so it can take a year or more to get anything useful. No one actually cares.

If you can buy stuff illegally and try it, do it. Carefully of course. If anything seems to work, tell it to the docs (and watch their face).
I think you're dismissing static site generators too quickly. An efficient static site generator will work very well for a lot of websites, because most of them aren't made up of >1,000 pages.

Static sites are better for those who don't want to enable JavaScript or who would like to save a copy of the page to read later. I'm sure there are accessibility benefits with less complicated websites, too.

Maybe I'm just strange, though. I log in directly to a TTY.
well you're definitely a bot
I wonder if there's a better way to do this because the client updates often, and so any security report is going to be outdated in a month.

I'm against the act of censorship on principle, but it's not the only principle I believe in. I also believe in the principle that unnecessary deaths should be avoided, and that principle takes precedence over the other one.
No, if you study how GPT-3 works, it becomes pretty clear that that model can't really produce "understanding", even if we can't clearly define what that is very well.

And I don't just mean this from the old point of view of "if we understand it, it's not AI anymore", I mean, the model has serious fundamental limitations. One of them is that it's static, so, once trained, it doesn't learn from its future input. Another is that when it is doing its "what is the highest probability text output to follow this text" (which, itself, is not exactly the sort of question "Strong AI" is the answer to), it by construction can only use a fixed-size window of text. So, for instance, it is by construction simply impossible for GPT-3 to write a novel, or even a short story, because the only way to get it to keep outputting is to provide it a window of the last X KB of output (I don't recall exactly how big it is) for the next continuation, which means that as it is writing the X+5th KB of output, it has literally completely forgotten the first 5KB of output, as completely as if it never existed.

On the flip side, it is clearly very interesting and there is something there. However, I'd submit that what that something is is a something that we don't have an English word for, because up to this point humanity has never encountered anything with a cognitive model like GPT-3. So, it doesn't have "understanding", it has a quality-that-has-no-name (not to be confused with the "quality without a name" which GPT-3 most certainly does not have yet).
Misinformation is everywhere including on Reddit, even quite dangerous misinformation but no one cares, but when misinformation runes across tribalist political lines is suddenly when people start to care.

Rarely do people care about improving the world, but feeling part of a team has always galvanized men into iron warriors. — Achieving victory is of course not the concern of these warriors, but the joy of fighting shoulder to shoulder with another is it's own reward.

Of course, that it runs across tribalist political lines is the only reason the misinformation again exists in this particular case, but that also makes it less useful to shut the subreddit down.

The misinformation that is commonly spread, by, say, r/legaladvice, is easier to remedy by simple conversation or alternatively shutting it down and for Reddit to ban lay legal advice, as people believe that simply because they are misinformed, not because they enjoy feeling part of a team believing whatever the rest of the team does.

the exact thinkpad style is probably patented but it's a pointing stick, a feature common across laptops in the past. I know for sure that some Dells (TrackStick) and HPs (PointStick) had them.
This is Eric Berger's take as well - for example, second stage propulsion, in-space manufacturing for his Dyson cylinders vision, lunar habs would be so much cooler.
Community College was the best decision I ever made. Not only did it cost next to nothing, relieving a massive amount of financial pressure, but it took me, a mediocre high school student, and gave me the time and training necessary to build study habits and grades that allowed me to transfer to one of the top engineering schools in the country.

The only downside of Community College is that it is not the same "college experience" that you get with University, which I can understand is huge for many. I did to an extent make up for it my junior and senior year after I transferred, but it's not the same.
In the age of lies telling the truth is a revolutionary act. We're most certainly being had, and a crisis is being put to a good use by the interested parties: politicians, businesses, banks/hedge funds, and plain ol' facebook/twitter mouth breathers who vie for popularity and likes. Adults have left the room decades ago, as far as I can tell, if there were any adults in the public sector in the first place.

Gcaptcha hates VPN users, and Firefox users [1, 2]. You can ameliorate this by being logged in in a google account (!). The cynic in me mutters something here about advertising.

Cloudfare, on the other hand, sometimes just decides that the website said "nope" and blocks you. It's such a giant PITA. I spend a lot of time in two countries because of my job and family -- and one restaurant near my home in one of them has decided to block all IPv4 (but not ipv6...) connections to it with cloudfare. I used to look at their menu online, often on the days that I flew back (in the 'before times'). I have to use a VPN to get around that (their food is good!). Cloudfare recently started introducing obnoxious captcha requirements and occasionally outright blocking.

The more people who use VPNs -- and I am sure they are on the rise -- the more it becomes normalised hopefully the more that this goes away. To be honest, it's a price worth paying for privacy at any rate.

"Remote into a desktop"? That sounds like a horrible experience to me. I've never understood why anybody would remote control a pc for anything. If you need to code on the road, just code directly on whatever device you were going to use to remote control from. How does remote controlling some other computer make this computer's experience better? You still are stuck with this keyboard, this trackpad, this display, etc.
Ahah! Thanks for pointing that out. Need more coffee.
Not the 1st time this has come up for Moderna. Most people don't engage in the comments here because they get downvoted to heck, providing an effective echo chamber. Feels like reddit.
I'm running gnome 40 on arch/Wayland and ended up settling on 2x window scaling with .75 text scaling along with the compact materia theme. This is effectively 1.5x window scaling, but 1.5x fractional scaling alone is blurry on gnome in non gnome apps. The other alternative I tried was 1x window scaling with 1.5x text scaling, but the UI feels more cluttered/cramped.

"Bad" isn't the issue. It could be a perfectly "good" ad (whatever that means), and I still don't want to see it. Stop shoving it in my face.

(If you define "bad" as "in a context where ads should not be", I think I agree with you.)
Yes. Unless airlines fail the planes will continue to fly. They fly empty if no one if on them. Airlines have to continue to fly routes or risk giving up that route to another airline. We've seen that the government will prop up airlines.
Out of curiosity, why do they call destination server an "origin"?
I assume it works similarly to Apple Wallet currently does:

But money doesn't measure work. One hour of work by Jeff Bezos trumps what most make in a year.

Moreover, it doesn't even work as a relative scale. If Jeff Bezos spends half his fortune on one art piece, he is still one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet. He won't be materially affected by this in any way. If I spend half my savings on an art piece, that puts me at a substantial risk (2 catastrophes and I'm broke).

Basically, Jeff has little opportunity cost to spending 50 billion, while I have enormous opportunity cost to spending 50,000. But Jeff doesn't work 1 million times as much as I do for that.

Well, there's nothing this or Treesheets does that nothing else (in MS Office) can't do or approximate. It's just different degrees of freedom and fuckupability. More degrees of freedom means more ways to misdirect attention. This is very bad for classicalish artists who have to take in the whole work and make and edit each part with the whole in mind. But also for people writing long books. Zeminary is biased towards getting big things done.

Things off the top of my head A

I had a discussion a while ago about how email being uneditable is actually a feature. It forces you to focus more on writing and less on editing. Email threads also force you to understand a thing in time. Being able to forward and do emaily things helps you to get feedback. All this helps to free you from perfection so that you can / are free to perfect. But the foundation is uneditability.

Standardization comes with limits. It makes for better communicability. People aren't met with the possibility of a mess of explicit hierarchies. Authors aren't so freely given the possibility.

Limits are features.

It's easier to get into FPSs vs MOBAs because you only need to know a few things to get started. WASD to move. SPACE to jump. Leftclick to shoot. Rightclick to zoom. Something to crouch with, something to sprint with. It's also easier to get into some MOBAs than others because you only need to know a few maps and movesets. Both types of games are very fun, very profitable, very complicated. But FPSs are obviously easier for people to pick up on and enjoy — the learning curve to complex fun ratio is just better.

I deleted links & backlinks from Matrix / Tensor Classic in the last week before the launch. I'm saving them & alot of other things for Matrix / Tensor Pro. I think links and references lock you prematurely into premature mental models. I know for some of my artwork, I've iterated on the concept alone 50 to 100 times, then on the work itself 50 to 100 times.

One of my overarching principles for life and work is the "Multidimensional Thermopylae". I try to limit the surface areas of confrontation (making apps, doing things, etc.) to just a single point or easily addressable set of points, then I punch with everything I got. I try to set up my life to maximize those "Multidimensional Thermopylaes".

Zeminary is meant to be a "Multidimensional Thermopylae" for certain kinds of work, (chordal/contrapuntal/holistic thinking).

I was assuming that the OP was someone who worked in a department IT role, that had to abide by more centralized IT security requirements. You're right that someone who is more transient or less full-time has less motivation to make a long-term point to the administration.
Not only this. Large cash transactions also raise red flags. There have been American politicians tripped up in sex scandals because of AML laws.
> stop calling it a mental issue that can be resolved with willpower or attitude when it's clear that for many people, medication works and it works well.

He didn't say that though. In fact OP would agree with you that calling it a matter of willpower is an oversimplification. That was the whole point of his biopsychosocial thing.

Anyway the drugs sometimes work and sometimes don't. Hitting a CRT TV sometimes makes the picture come back. That doesn't mean a TV has a hitting deficiency. It's not clear why it works. SSRIs sometimes work and sometimes don't. But depressives don't have a serotonin deficiency. It's not clear why they work.

when big tech company A was preparing for being sold, they brought in "my boss' boss" .. a woman new to the company. She promptly refused to meet with any rank and file engineer, at all, despite an arms long list of them wanting to meet. Secondly, she stopped showing up to her assigned office on the same floor as the engineers, where her predecessor had a glass-wall office overlooking the same working area.. Later, we found out that she was in fact inviting herself to any and all meetings she could get into, regarding the coming sale of the company.. it was a strategic move on her part to absolutely distance herself in every way from those doing work, and meet and become important to, officers in the company who will be part of the company sale.

Deno's position is much more sensible than the typescript teams position, but not working with the rest of the TS ecosystem is a huge price to pay.

I hope that either Deno implements some 'legacy' way of working that is compatible with the way the official typescript team do it, or the typescript team realize the error of their ways. I'm not sure if that's likely to happen short of a fork though.

Some states already sell drivers license information on the open market, seems like the governments already done the damage with the info printed on the card (California, Florida: https://www.thedrive.com/news/35457/why-is-the-california-dm...)
Interesting! Does that present challenges when it comes to monitoring or managing at scale? Or when a project spans multiple clusters?
Ignoring tooling or pre-existing libraries (mainly because Deno is at an early stage of trying to boot a new JS/TS ecosystem), what makes Javascript that different as a language from, say Python or Ruby?

Besides minor syntax differences, the main differences to me seem to be that JS has a greater commitment to asynchronousness / async-await and has a better static typing solution through Typescript, which seem like solid wins for JS/TS.
What is the usecase for Deno Deploy? Can you build full blown web apps with it? Or is it mostly for building small services, e.g. image transformation, CDN, etc.?
