>I dont necessarily agree with equal pay for each job title.

It is absolutely doable though, just with a lot more job titles than what we have.
They also switched from 14 days to 60 days if I remember TFA correctly.

I might guess that "free trial" converts badly because people don't really invest and use the product properly, whereas "money-back guarantee" forces people to (however temporarily) invest money in the product (and therefore they tend to spend the time to actually set it up and use it), as well as communicating more confidently that the supplier believes the product will add value.
> It's a pretty typical margin from the console industry, which was the main point of reference at the time.

It may have been the closest equivalent but it doesn't make it any less extortionate.

If your neighbour's wife only ever goes out wearing sunglasses to hide her two black eyes, it doesn't give you the right to start beating yours. Even if it is less awful than what the human trafficker living down the road does.

Did you think they use group Messages rooms for comms?
If they had any morals yes. The fact that they sentence people to be held in cages for victimless crimes means they don't deserve the respect they needlessly demand from others.
I think you really underestimate what an entire populace geared with small arms can do if pushed too far. And thats the way it should be. The govt should be scared of crossing lines that anger the people they are supposed to represent.
It gets in the way of cooperation.
That's true. I don't think it's the legality of the surveillance that's bothering me, it's more the vast and ever growing capability of the surveillance apparatus. Which is fueled by the legal framework.
That's art!
Some observations:

* The "raw" pitch information coming into our brains from our ears is absolute.

* Sophisticated processing inside the brain is required to calculate relative pitch.

* Although absolute pitch perception is considered a "musical" skill, only relative pitch is relevant to the perception of the musical quality of music.

Because of its rarity, absolute pitch perception is regarded as an "amazing" skill.

But when you consider the technical aspects, the thing we should be amazed by is relative pitch perception.

My conclusion would be that relative pitch perception exists because it serves a critical biological function, and absolute pitch perception is rare because it does not serve any critical function.

It's also worth noting that we all have _some_ degree of absolute pitch perception, but it is much less precise than our relative pitch perception. And of course it is biologically relevant to distinguish between, for example, a high-pitched scream and a deep rumbling sound.
A lot of those enterprises already have Docker on the vendor list though, because of Docker Hub.
It is pretty impressive/crazy how well CDM and SR3 work together to go from 32x32 to 256x256 e.g. the Irish Setter. How could the algos possibly know the lighter coloring (due to breed or lighting) between the dog's eyes?! It's basically inventing pixels
If you must exist in this kind of organization use this to your advantage. Get involved in important projects, setup purchase proposals, then make sure you add in new laptops, cables, mice, extra monitors, and whatever other accessories you need. Do you have a remote KVM attached to all 100 servers? Yes. Will finance care if you add 100 monitors, keyboards, mice, etc? Nope. Will your vendor happily add those on to the price? Yup. How do you get involved in projects? Find a Director or VP who wants to get something done and say "yes" or "we'll find a way" to whatever it is they want to do. Then do your research and give them a proposal: "We can accomplish X in 24 months with Y headcount and Z equipment budget". If you can cultivate a reputation as someone who "gets things done" eventually you will find the normal rules no longer apply to you. Finance will stop asking questions about your projects.

You have three rational choices: 1. Play the game, 2. Keep your head down, 3. Quit and move to a company that doesn't play those games.

Sitting around complaining that a big company has crappy inefficient processes is like complaining that water is wet. A complete waste of time and makes you look incompetent to other people in the company who are playing the game. These inefficient processes end up optimizing for people who know how to talk the code and cultivate the right relationships. Take advantage of that.
It is possible, but it requires some native talent and a painful amount of practice.

This is true. Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook discusses this further and talks about how seizing power in most modern, western democracies is very hard.
That thing looks totally awesome!

I especially like the steps taken to integrate mouse control into the design. A centered, integrated pointing device makes all computer interaction much easier. Without ranting too much, I have to say that for non-QWERTY layouts, this can be quite important. Suffice it to say, that's a wonderful feature of this Chordie design.

If I were to make one of these, one addition I would add is a board with ~1.5mm deep pockets in the shape of each piece so that everything could be held in place while used on a lap, or even over the existing keyboard of a laptop.

ASETNIOP[0] seems quite interesting, but I'm somewhat confused by how people are using it together with QMK[1]. I love that QMK is open source, but ASETNIOP doesn't appear to be. At least, there's not GitHub repo. On it's website, I only see apps for iOS and Android listed. So, how are people using it on computers? Does the commercial nature of the project mean I won't be able to use this on niche flavors of Unix?

I've been excited to try it out with a gHeavy board, but unfortunately, I've had a lot of bad luck with them. A $250 steel GergoPlex arrived bent and with a broken USB connector because the inadequate padded envelope it arrived in didn't protect it from some delivery person who dropped it. The Georgi I ordered just never arrived. Same story with the Ginny. No protection, no insurance, and no tracking. The gHeavy brand's innovation is much more thrilling than their logistics.

Thanks for the response and context. I work in a different domain to data science and it's fair to say that most people I work with would prefer writing a few 10s of lines of python than many pages of SQL!

Regarding your second point, looking at streamlits announcements page [1] it seems many features being added, layouts/themes and session state/callbacks for example, indicate to me that streamlit is heading in the direction of panel/dash more than the other way. Streamlit also emphasizes using decorators for caching [2], which I agree can end up with some overall state that is a bit magic.

Overall I think the optimal use cases are a bit different for the sets of tools, and I find the approach of dynamically calculating a full script for every change of a slight widget quite onerous, and actually just not feasible for the use cases I have.

This is a fair point!

YMMV, but in our experience the vast majority of the hours logged in the 'self-serve' pivot table interface of a BI system come from folks who actually do know SQL and have the word analyst in their title.

When you look at session data on non-technical people doing things with those pivot table interfaces, they are almost never doing the 'complex exploratory analysis' that BI vendors advertise. They are either doing sequential lookups of individual records, or they are putting together a simple data pull so that they can do something in a spreadsheet.

We think we can address the bulk of these use cases by providing two components: a lightweight pivot table, and a 'download to excel' button. These would be components like any other chart or graph. Outputs.

We think a pivot table is a nice output for some situations, we just don't think your data team should have to use a pivot table interface to produce the whole reporting system.

But yellow isn't necessarily just a spike at 569.356... There are plenty of other combinations of frequencies that together will stimulate the green- and red-cones enough to create a perception of (nearly?) the exact same yellow.
There's some upside to having multiple register sets, though, and many quite successful ISAs have used them to good effect (CDC 6600, Cray-1/-2, &c.). It gives you more registers without having to use more bits for designators.
Consumers happily spend money on

- Cigarettes

- Gambling

- Loot boxes (more gambling)

- Micro transactions like gems

- Unproven miracle cures

The existence of a market and the purchaser's willingness/happiness with the product do not confer value judgements onto the products they're purchasing.

You seem to be arguing that consumer sentiment trumps all, and that if customers are still buying, then everything must be ok.

> Is this bad for business? We will see.

We will see, but this is not the most important metric to track. Half of the people I know won't even comprehend the change, and even fewer will understand the farther reaching consequences if we do indeed slip down the slippery slope that everyone worries about.

If at the end of the day, we're at the very bottom of that slope, and dissidents are getting arrested pre-emptively for views that don't align with their governments, no one will care that "Apple users were still happy to buy the phone".

You must evaluate these kinds of solutions / policies on their merits (and downsides), not solely on their popularity.

In a world where every consumer is well educated and can understand the nuances of this change, then I'd be more open to your position. Since we don't live in that world, I stand by the comments above.

Funnily enough I actually grew up on building sites too, my dad was a builder / small time property developer. Out of all the trades I noticed the electricians had it easiest. I distinctly remember holding plaster board above my head while standing on scaffolding while a joiner (USA speak: carpenter) nailed it to the ceiling. And him telling me "see this is why you should pass your exams so you don't end up doing this". However it was obvious who the smart guys were they had their own businesses and directed their guys rather than do the dirty work.
When I was 16 I said to my parents I was thinking of doing electrician apprenticeship, my dad said it would be a shame to miss out on the fun and adventure of university, so I did that instead. Think it was a mistake.

> there are endless technologies that you are using without knowing in many cases not even the minimum basis of its operation.

the difference I see between the world today & the world yesterday is that, until recently, we could take apart a lock & see how it works. we could open a microwave & carefully apply oscilliscopes to see what happened. or we could go read about other people who have broken things apart & seen how they worked.

and i think historically a lot of people did possess some baseline knowledge of how things worked, or had some trusted people about who had some basic ideas.

> I have a real belief that most of the society understands that the functionality is not magical, but resigns itself to it by being unable or lazy to investigate about.

this is where today comes in, versus these yesteryears. today, most phones do not grant you root access. a couple do. even root access though will still leave you able to access your phone or whatever device with great power, but limited ability to understand & review & take apart the native applications running on the device: the code will likely be compiled, and perhaps obscured.

even if you do spend enormous time analyzing the native application, you still don't have any idea how a large amount of things work, because the app stands a good chance of just being a network client to a large behind the firewall proprietary system. to which you will never ever get access, you will never be able to look & see.

computing has created a new & truly ghastly kind of unknowability in the universe. what we are doing defies the Enlightenment view, defies the abundancy of nature that i feel has given rise to the best parts of humanity, to humanity's inquisitive, exploratory, Natural Scientist heart & soul.

> Technological philosophy is the philosophy that fits today,

trying to find roots for a techno-philosophy dogs my thoughts regularly. but trying to find some real roots here has been hard for me.

as for where we are right now: rather than blame the user, i think technology needs deep cross examination. we need to deeply reconsider what aspects of technology are pro-humanity, and which pieces of technology dog us, make this species worse. we need to refocus.

we need to refocus, and envision a technology that is knowable, learnable. we need to try to be better than a mechnical door lock is at knowability, better than a microwave: our systems should always be willing to show their insides, show their guts. a couple days ago "Computers should expose their internal workings as a 6th sense"[1] rolled by, and it seems like the ultra-diminutive form of this ask: asking the machine to share some of it's acting. and i think that's a starting spot, an important first indicator of activity, but information technology should let us keep diving, keep seeing & viewing the mechanisms & causalities & lineages of the computing that happens.

we have to really re-explore the premise of information technology to begin to make an inquisitive mind once more possible.

Why don't you just stick to characterizing things as "facts" that are actually demonstrably true? Then you don't have to even worry about this stuff.

Due process requires judges to recuse themselves when there is a strong possibility they will be biased (such as believing it is a BS law that requires no punishment). If every single judge does this, eventually the state is going to run out of resources to try the case.

A nice start would be to recognize having "buttfucker 3000" in your name might simply be an acknowledgement of the unjust law and probably circumstances (found in traffic stop, likely questionable 4A grounds) (although the article states that he stated it was unintentional.) So the easiest thing would have been just to let it slide and continue on like it doesn't exist.

Judge could also instruct jurors on "jury nullification" or make the prosecutor's life hell in other ways if they bring about these cases.

Yes I think there is a moral duty to ignore an unjust law, even if it is illegal to do so.
net/http is a great example.

The std lib is disciplined about using safe Go ideas except in the exceptional cases. I feel like it’s nothing that is enforced by the formal spec of the language, just that the std lib has an exceptional emphasis on making it really hard to walk away with misconceptions.
This is probably what they are referring to. Some areas are limiting outdoor time and fining people who are "outside without a reasonable excuse".

The content in the book you're talking about is probably better represented by Professor Duane's original viral video on the topic:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

I think he wrote that book in part because he was frustrated by the lack of nuance in his presentation and the fact that it sort of "went viral". 13 million views for a lecture about law is pretty astonishing.
Yes, there is. X3D can be embedded into HTML exactly like SVG, per the quoted text and this example: https://doc.x3dom.org/tutorials/basics/hello/index.html
I worked with such a person, briefly. It seems he had never heard the phrase "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line". He had plans for the product stretching out 5 years, and architected accordingly. He knew exactly why each piece was done the way it was done, and could hold it all in his head. But when he was reassigned to a different project after 6 months, the rest of us had to pick up the pieces.

You know what else is easier? Mandate the shot. Unvaccinated people who are eligible for the shot are creating an undue burden on society. Let's stop making it about people's freedoms and start making it an issue of public health. Imagine if tomorrow ~40% of the population decided to ignore traffic lights and Stop signs because they infringe on their freedoms. Your freedom ends where it hurts other people. And given that your infection could literally go viral, you may hurt a lot of people.

Yes I'm well aware that you can still transmit the virus if you're vaccinated, but you are less likely to get sick, less likely to get as sick and unlikely to need to be hospitalized or die.

Yep - I'm fed up. I have an at-risk son who's ineligible for a vaccine due to his age.
That's unfair. People are exhausted. The world is too complex. We have almost no control of anything. People just want to eat, sleep and spend time with their family. They don't have hours a day to get up to speed on the most complicated new tech law that will just be rubber stamped by people who are supposed to represent our interests for campaign dollars. Some of these laws get push back and trend hashtags for a couple of days. Then the powers that be just try again in 2 months. And again, and again. You know, because of the children......

There are entire categories of apps that aren't allowed by the rules (although you do occasionally find some examples in the store somehow). Emulators that can run ROM files are a good example. You won't find MAME in the app store except occasionally when someone at AppleHQ makes a mistake. Even then it quickly disappears.

What's wrong with the word Caucasian? I think it is used to indicate white people and etymology is such a rabbit hole that it is better to not go there.

In fact translating this into most European languages the term “white people” is used. It is a very approximate category but the article even clearly mentions example where pulse monitors work worse to people with darker skin. These categories are still relevant in medicine.
I see this as an opportunity to play with Podman. I don't fall into the category where I'll need to pay, but Docker Desktop has long been somewhat user-hostile.
