Let's assume $4k in annual cost (avg) for a year of community college. Let's multiply that by 64,000 applicants. Let's assume only 50,000 actually were paid out as tuition grants (probably more, possibly all, but bare with me). That's $200m paid out. $256m if all were paid out.

Matress is not as safe as a bank.

Under current economic policy, banks basically don’t want your money. They have plenty of money they can’t get return on. Processing your dirty cash, maintainibg secure ATMs and servers is not worth it.

They can borrow money from central banks at 0% or negative (return back less than borrowed) with less trouble.

Not for me do. Until there is no other option than this, I will refuse it.

If I am lucky I have 30-40 something years ahead of me, more is a bonus territory.

So I intend to live as a human being, not some database record "because of digitalization".

I'm not recommending or not recommending any particular firm (I'm not at Latacora), but rather just arguing for a new norm in how all firms comport themselves with respect to public audits. I am not surprised you got a good audit from Cure53; my comment isn't about the quality of their audits.
Orweillian term? Where the hell do all the insane moral attachments come from?

Positive interest is compensation for delaying spending and a fee for staying in debt.

Negative interest is a fee for delaying spending and compensation for keeping others in debt.

It's not about "governments thinking", it's about maintaining the balance of supply and demand between debt and credit.

The fact that you desire to hold onto money at 0% just shows how profitable it is.

Hmm I've been to chaty like you described - in the countryside or a village out in south moravia, south bohemia and vysočina. But I've also been to garden plots near to a city with a little building that has a kitchen and room to chill/sleep in (these little guys: https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?x=16.6371848&y=49.2350039&z=20&m... - maybe hard to see, street view didn't go here :) ) which were also described as a "chata" to me. There are definitely little bare sheds in some of these plots, but in the context we were discussing I feel like "chata" fits well and is analogous to "dacha" from the comment I replied to. Though I've heard of some grander "dacha", better equipped with more amenities that might be referred to as "chalupa" here.

Well, in past experience of IAP and things like the Kindle, it’s not $1000; but this does already exist and I have paid for it.
I've been out of the security game for a while, but a couple years ago the rule of thumb was to avoid CBC and use GCM.

"They haven't ever been better than Apple laptop hardware, even in Intel-land"

Except of course for the monumentally defective and offensive keyboards Apple saddled its customers with for FIVE YEARS. And there are the soldered-in SSDs and RAM now, and glued-together chassis. And the hodgepodge of laptop & desktop parts crammed into the iMac to make it "thinner," which is absolutely asinine in a desktop computer.

> The fact that low interest rates have not lead to inflation simply means that there are no solvent borrowers at that level of interest.

That's where you lose me. Prices are going up for many things all over the world (including in the Tech world which used to be highly deflationary). Let's not forget that we are in a pandemic (loss of demand) and that oil prices are relatively low. Prices should have gone down. The only thing going down right now is the government CPI.
> It is a menace that has been supercharged by the pandemic and the rapid growth of online commerce that has accompanied it.

Didn’t fencing goods become easy enough when eBay started out 20+ years ago?

If supply became too great, prices would fall and attract more users.

With or without amazon, I think the growth would be the same.
Leaving aside that entire operating systems were written in Lisp, I suggest you consider adding Ada to that list. It is very strict, and feels clunky to use by today's standards, but it is highly readable, has a good set of safety features, and an actual spec with a comprehensive conformance test suite. And it's been proven in defense and aeronautical use for decades -- two industries where lives are literally on the line.
> ISS's reason to exist went away when the Shuttle was mothballed. The ISS was, in turn, the reason to keep flying the Shuttle.

This is a popular idea, but it can't really be proven. The decision to have ISS comes from many people and countries, and those people have different reasons - including, among others, employing Shuttle, former Soviet engineers and an accessible space outpost to conduct space experiments.
Not quite, but I appreciate you for asking for a clarification.

The web is absolutely document-first. Our applications are _still_ just documents, which is pretty incredible.

I just don't think it's very good at being document-first. A sufficiently advanced document-first platform would have a lot more functionality in regards to reading, modifying, maintaining, and sharing documents. As far as any consumer is concerned, a basic note-taking app provides more functional use than a web browser.

That may be the reason it's become better known as a kludged together application platform derived from layers upon layers of workarounds - around a substandard document viewer with amazing plugin support.

If I'm making any point at all, it's that I don't accept the premise of the original post. The web isn't as good at serving documents as we tend to say it is, but it's become quite the application platform, because everyone seems to want it to be one. So who cares if people make crappy pages using JS when it isn't ideal?
>What did you move to for wifi?

I haven't moved everything on WiFi or L2 switching yet and am still evaluating that, poking at different solutions from a variety of places across price ranges (from MikroTik to Peplink or Ruckus). Part of the true pain of all this is that there isn't any clear obvious successor to all the things Ubiquiti aimed for or else a lot more of us would have probably bailed completely already vs drawing things out. Not merely the price point, which I'd actually be fine paying somewhat more for given how important it is, but zero cloud dependency, the fairly pleasant (though getting worse) single pane of glass for managing things, and decent physical design that doesn't look like giant mutant space bugs all matter.

However, even in WiFi it has started to get flakier and while the older WiFi 5 devices which benefited from what was once a lot of great engineering talent have held on my experience with the newer WiFi 6 stuff has been mediocre. And the controller has continued to go downhill as well, actively removing useful functionality and information density as they keep messing with the UI every single version in the most classic bikeshedding fashion :(.

WiFi 6E/WiFi 7 and multigig will I think be the major decision point, so another 1-3 years. 6 GHz spectrum will be genuinely very useful in a variety of settings, so we're going to be looking at a point where it'll be desirable to replace a lot of hardware anyway. Once there is that kind of commitment that's going to represent not wanting to change again for another 5-7 years, well, might as well reevaluate. And I hate it but I just don't see Ubiquiti getting better.

I will say that with a touch of irony, Ubiquiti's rot spiral has actually reinforced the value of Ubiquiti's approach IMO. Because such things can happen to any company, and at least with UniFi/UNMS the self-host control thing has worked out exactly the last-resort backstop we all always said it could. There isn't any required cloud tie. There isn't any forced firmware updates. The system can be quite well isolated, with routing/gateway gone the rest can go onto a dedicated management VLAN with zero ingress/egress. That leaves a lot more runway even without updates. I'm sorry it was needed but it makes me more determined then ever to avoid remote dependencies. So I'll thank Ubiquiti for that I guess :\.
I use treesheets in a similar manner. I like that it's an offline app. And light weight.

What does thisvdo that treesheets doesn't?

You should probably talk to a psychologist regardless, as the psychological impact this is having is very apparent and mental health is just as important as your physical health.

This might be obvious and you may have already done a study for this but have you looked into sleep apnea? I had the first two symptoms you described for about a year and it ended up being mild sleep apnea and acid reflux related. Obviously your case could be completely different, but good to rule out. Now I wear a Somnomed mouth piece at night and take acid reflux medication day and night.

No more brain fog.

I have always liked the keyboard more. My opinion is that Apple prioritizes how the keyboard looks and how thin it is over the actual function and experience of using it. It blows my mind that people buy their desktop keyboard which is basically a laptop keyboard in small case.

I believe the ability to repair or swap components has always been better with Lenovo.

Apple beats Lenovo in a lot of other ways though, audio quality being one that I personally experienced. On my old T430s the speakers were so bad I wished they had just not included them at all. They were like the speakers in those talking greeting cards.

Deno Deploy so far feels a lot closer though. For instance, CFW forces you to bundle your code into 1 js file, whereas with Deno Deploy you can just point to an arbitrary .js hosted anywhere on the internet, and any transitive dependencies will be fetched and cached for subsequent runs. It doesn't support dynamic imports yet, but fingers crossed that's on the roadmap.

UPDATE: apparently CFW has been updated to support deploying as unbundled files since I last checked.
The problem is that Superfish is BIOS malware. If Lenovo is willing to infect its BIOS for profit, I'm not sure that running Linux is safe on their hardware.

That isn’t penalizing savers; that just isn’t actively subsidizing them (and by extension the rest of the investing world, since that would easily be the most attractive place to have your money in the world).

Also, central banks have a mandate to be the lender of last resort. It’s one of their most fundamental duties and they’ve been doing it for as long as they’ve existed.
Thank you adam for your sane decision to use XML instead of JSON as hypermedia format.
I'm guessing you deduced that those people end up paying more taxes because they end up making more money? If that were the case you wouldn't have the student debt crisis right now; if the payoff was worth it people would be able to afford to pay their loans.

If we can make a college degree only cost what it actually costs and not pay for all the cruft why does the government have to start paying it? You've solved the problem at that point.
This is a common mnemonic, but it also has a common flaw, which is easily reached by application of a modicum of overthought: Both proxies always act as both servers and clients; just to different sides, one in the direction of requests (forward), another against (reverse).

At least that's where I end up every time I have to remind myself which is which.
Uh, you missed the main feature of the device. Basically everything in the laptop is user replaceable. Even the motherboard can be swapped and presumably replaced with a newer model. The ports can be swapped too, so no more wishing you had more USB ports or ethernet ports or whatever. You could even design your own expansion card. Framework can release new keyboards, screens, etc and the user can just install them as they like. That is incredible!

When they release an AMD motherboard I'm definitely going to order one.
the force is strong with this one. there is something deeply satisfying in having computing devices that are genuine tools one can master, tinker and grow along with. the exact opposite of the sealed, throwaway, surveillance devices that define this dismal zeitgeist

the challenge will be how to wrap all this goodness in simplicity to reach mass markets. linux never really solved that.

but its the type of challenge that once its solved the world has changed...
I read a story about a math teacher having kids run on a treadmill before the class. Apparently that expansion of energy calmed the kids down, and improved learning.
The mind is connected to the body, so kind of makes sense that there would psychological benefits. Maybe similar to taking a cold shower in improving alertness.
Tempus is the worst place I have ever worked. The culture is toxic to non white non male engineers.
I had one tab with frame.work open, one with amazon, and one with new egg, and while the frame.work were usually a little marked up compared to amazon and new egg, it was extremely close. IMHO that's a great deal for having somebody else vet and test the hardware together and ship it to you in a convenient bundle.
The tour period entries (Jan to ?) read like someone who obviously hates traveling on book tours, but does it because it's part of the job, and is also kind of fascinated by dissecting his own discomfort.

Everything before was more a collection of weird stuff he learned or was linked to that day.
Yeah, I find this issue very irritating. Forcing you to claim you're importing a file that doesn't even exist except as part of the output of a build step means that you're tying your implementation of a language to a specific set of tooling and environment.

It's treating a language like it's a dumb file rewriter rather than something semantically meaningful. It would have made no sense for Deno to do the same thing - if you import a .js file from a remote server, you want that js file, if it doesn't exist automatically trying to load a .ts file from the same location would be pretty odd behaviour.

Typescript is a language, the tools should understand it as a language and it should be self-consistent.

The other thing that irritates me is that all that typing information is lost at runtime, when it could be very useful in a bunch of situations, but hey, you can't have everything.
I really only said one thing, and I'm pretty sure it's not true of https URLs under common configurations when you've stored your credentials.

What I'm talking about is this: with a git:// URL, if you plug it into Git and that repo is private, you just get "Repository not found" immediately. With an HTTPS URL, if you're routinely using HTTPS for Git, you probably have credentials saved and you might miss that something's not publicly accessible which should be.

Further, if you do have some problem like this then the issue's arguably less clear, as the behavior of a private or simply nonexistent HTTPS repo URL for users without saved credentials is to prompt for login, which can be confusing, making a user think they need a Github account or that there's some problem with theirs.

Like I said though, it's not really a big deal.
Pinetab
I dislike this.

The ½ comes from an integration. Whenever you see a square term in an equation, there's often a corresponding ½.

Yes, we could "simplify" equations by getting rid of the ½ and squashing it into the units, but at that point, all of the stuff makes less sense.

I do physics with kids, and often show area (usually of a triangle) as the distance traveled with constant acceleration, the energy of something, the accumulated debt or what-not. The source of the ½ is very obvious -- we're looking at a triangle and not a rectangle.
