> Protections from spying on emails

Do you mean your email inbox ? If so, if you're not signed in, there's nothing here for Google to know. If you're using gmail, obviously when you access your gmail from your phone, Google would know. Either you're using gmail or not. Obviously, emails you send to other gmail users, Google has access to them through other's inboxes, but that is completely independent from your device choice. So I'm not sure what exactly you're worried w.r.t. your device setup.

> texts

If you're not signed in, but using Google backed RCS as SMS/text, then Google won't have access to your message if using end-to-end (for non-group messages). If you're using group messages, they are not end-to-end encrypted.

> right to be forgotten

I'm not sure what you mean, w.r.t. phone device. Care to elaborate ?

> geofencing warrant grab all’s

If you're doing Google searches, they would be subject to geofencing warrant, albeit Google won't know who you are, just that a particular type of device with a particular ip address issued a particular query (and if you shared your location with Google, they would know more fine-grained location but obvious assumption here is you wouldn't do that), but that's no different from any device you use.
The Toyota Production System is /the/ precursor to “Lean Manufacturing”, you could say that Toyota wrote the book on “lean”. While there are many companies that try (and fail) to replicate TPS, the Toyota Way is the standard by definition.
In general, above the class, function, or method, but if details are needed for individual bits then at the end of the line or below (doesn't happen often).

However, a lot of commentary goes into tests rather than the code, and there I prefer to use doctests, a literate style that interleaves prose and code. In general, it follows this pattern: tell them what you're going to do (ie. prose), do it (code), explain what just happened (prose), and prove it did what you say (test code). Doctests are mostly integration/functional tests rather than unit tests.

Slightly off topic, but I finally broke down and paid for YNAB this year and it has literally changed my life. It doesn't feel like accounting anymore, it feels like playing monopoly.

Don’t make decisions you can’t justify then.

You can make a decision to not serve people wearing Nazi symbols or to kick them out if they’re loud even if they’re from a protected class.

Put a camera. If they take you to court, show them everyone else in the past you’ve kicked out due to not liking their shoes.

Pick your battles. If the first person after you install the camera is from a protected class, skip them. Don’t be stupid either.
Dont forget that the some of the kids who watched their parents being killed by American drones would have the desire to take revenge later when they grow up.
Identify your biggest optional expenses and reduce them. Spending a lot of eating out? Cook at home. Living in your own by renting a palace? Rent something smaller. But honestly you can only cut back so much before you just make yourself miserable.

If you have the focus and energy, can you start your startup while you are working? There’s nothing wrong with letting your current thing pay for the next thing. It might take a little longer, but a paycheck is nice. You could even use your current thing to pay someone else to build the next thing.

I made my point clear, the amount of change of state that an object can produce over time, is given by its energy. This is because action equals joule-seconds, so energy equals actions per second. Just because you can change your frame to see change differently (ie. stationary) doesn't invalidate the point. This principle applies just as well even as the frame is changed.

Drivers. Try buying anything that you have to plug into your Linux machine. It is not easy figuring out if it works on your version of Linux. You can read so many reviews on how great it works for this other version of Linux but when you get it there is still a big chance it will not work, or it worked last year than something changed so you have to downgrade or use this software that hasn't been updated on five years.
I'm not going to go into the curl|sh debate, but there is actually something wrong about what you described. Trusting the server doesn't apply to Github at all.

Github is technically like a bazaar or mall. It's wrong to assume that if you trust a store on the bazaar you then trust ALL stores on the bazaar. You personally may, but then I strongly question your sense of security. Sure, you trust that Github doesn't add malicious stuff when cloning, but each repo on Github is kinda it's own "server" to fit into your analogy.
@fferen Thank you for sharing your work. This is an excellent resource.

If you don’t mind, I have a question.

If I drive in a straight line on the Earth’s surface without stopping and I ignore mountains and oceans and other obstacles, then after 16 days, I will arrive at my starting point.

Why is this?

It’s because the Earth is a sphere.

This is a nice satisfying answer, whereas x^2+y^2+z^2=r^2, while perfectly accurate, is arguably less satisfying.

Given this context, my question is, for special relativity, why do time dilation and length contraction happen?

Ideally, I’m looking for an answer that has the same satisfying intuitive flavor as “Because the Earth is a sphere”, or at least is suggestive of that kind of answer.
Its not black and white some of these jobs might be shitty but atleast someone gets a paycheque, the other alternative is that these people depend on unemployment benefits and then vote for demagogues who promise to bring back jobs and drive out immigrants who stole those jobs.

> I really wonder what kind of advances we'll see in 200 more years and what kind of society they will enable.

I _really_ hope I’m wrong, but I honesty think it’s probably a 50/50 chance we’ll make it that far. Besides what we’re doing to the planet and the lack of action we seem to be able to muster for that, our ability to create carnage (WMDs if you will) and them gradually falling into more hands seems high risk. (And what if something deadlier than Covid WAS developed in a lab and got into the wild?).

Again, I hope our ingenuity pulls us through. But the damage a few lunatics with a lot of resources could affect 200 years ago was pretty limited. Now some hacker in Moscow can knock out energy pipelines on the East Coast of the U.S.
Make me a market on the percentage overlap of people that use Racket to build things regularly with the amount of people using TailwindCSS to build things regularly and then use that interval to consider whether this will actually confuse anyone.

Around 23.7% of women in the US had had an abortion by age 45, as of 2017[1]. I don't think they did it because they believed in eugenics. They made difficult, sometimes wrenching personal choices.

What I don't understand is how otherwise normal people who want the government out of their lives can suddenly demand the government get involved in one of the most personal decisions anyone will ever make.

While impressive, this is only sustainable in a non-sustainable world. The burden that Dell unnecessary put on their suppliers have to be absorbed by the economy at some point. The single most important point that Toyota makes is stressing the importance of supply chain wide sustainability. Eg. by paying your suppliers ASAP and shortening credit lines, you should be able to get the parts cheaper than what you make of the interest.
The main benefit of boats over planes is that they require less energy to move cargo. However, they also more effectively amortise the cost of labour involved in moving goods.

So drones make more sense in the aeronautical space because they minimise labour in an area where it cannot be effectively amortised and decrease the amount of energy required to move stuff around (no need to lug a few humans along with the cargo).
Thanks, I'm afraid there's little I can do as it's just using Google Custom Search Engine with whitelisted dev sites, but it should work if you type out the meaning of the symbols, e.g. "C# null conditional" instead of "C# ?." (or "C# question mark dot" to figure out what the symbols mean).
But you don't have to drive and you can drink.
Don't sleep on /usr/share/doc/, /usr/share/info/, and /usr/share/man/ either. Code comments are not a replacement for real documentation that is written from the perspective of either a user or a developer. If you can somehow auto-generate meaningful documentation, that's great, but often whatever is auto-generated is only good in theory.
Depends if you want to go the vendor route, where "cube" is very specific to the implementation of the tool you're implementing. Dealing with semi-additive measures and drill-down/drill-through will differ between SSAS, Pentaho, or Cognos.

I think the real value in the process comes from all the data modeling decisions, which involves a lot of interactions with the business users that are asking for data/reports. Something as simple as an e-commerce order can look very different between CEO KPI reports, marketing, purchasing, and accounting. For example, accounting cares only when the product ships while marketing cares when it's sold. Multiply this by a hundred, and you end up with nuanced data pipelines that encapsulate all this domain-specific logic.

Multidimensional modeling is very useful even if you're not adopting cubes specifically, and just using dbt on a read-only replica of your database to create aggregate table for a few dozen reports.
I'm not sure a satisfactory answer necessarily exists here. The earth is a sphere, but you are asking a question about a mechanical action whereas time dilation and friends are fundamental statements about the nature of measurement itself.

I’d be very much surprised if that would save anything; gzip compression is pretty good, but the content-aware compression you’re describing is unlikely to be enough better to compensate for the extra code required. Add to that the downsides (slower loading and a flash of unstyled content) and I’d reckon it a non-starter.

It would be nice to see some serious study that could tell us how much of it is

1. Disruption of supply chains

2. Money printing for Covid stimulus giving additional spending power to consumers increasing demand above the average.

3. Money printing for Covid stimulus reducing demand for low paying jobs.

4. Scalpers.

5. Speculation on the part of manufacturers that prefer to increase prices instead of investing long term to expand production.

6. Other.

Well, in your case you have another "good" country to identify with: Taiwan (although i'm sure learning Traditional writing system solely for this end is too much). We have no "good" Russia.

Moreover, we are not descendants of any "good" culture (such as those who brought us famous Russian classics): they were all either brutally killed or pushed out of the country. We are the descendants of illiterate peasants who came to power in 1917 and killed everyone else - we have no good heritage behind us, apart from the heritage of Communism, which while did some cool things to be proud about, was inherently evil - to be proud of Soviet achievements is like being proud of Nazis because they built cool autobahns.

Hard disagree.

For someone’s hobby or passion, they generally have quite specific taste on what they want, and it is very difficult to pick something they will actually like (unless carefully asking them, undoing part of the pleasure of a gift).

If everybody knows someone loves plants, they will often get plants as presents, and the person is likely very practised at feigning pleasure at receiving a plant they don’t need or want. An example would be a kid who knows you like tools buying you a cheap nasty screwdriver - you grin and appreciate the thought.

Something wierd about a vanilla minecraft server is that sometimes less RAM is better. If you are using a good enough cpu going from 4 gb allocated to 2 gb allocated massively increases performance for low numbers of users because garbage collection runs more efficiently.

Certainly lots of things to learn still.

Going point by point:

It's not "he" it's "she".

I don't think it's controversial that you can be much more concise with python. My experience first learning Java was that everything was 2-3x as verbose as in python. The difference is smaller if you're using type hints in python, but it's still more concise.

I talked about repl's/notebooks for other languages. They're still an especially great tool for python/data science since they make it very easy to visualize data and share analyses.

I played around with breakpoints in pycharm and I don't think it would work for me. You need to run your code from pycharm in debug mode for the breakpoint to trigger, whereas I always run things from the command line or a notebook.

I believe you that there are times when python is slower. At least it's not noticeably slower when simply calling C behind the scenes or when you're i/o blocked anyway.

Re investing, I mean, everyone has seen phenomenal returns since they were born: this century is unprecedented. Also there was the pandemic crash very recently, so everyone has experienced an extremely harsh (albeit brief) bear market too.
