High school and college do nothing for someone with an IQ over 115. School can't help someone who doesn't want to learn. School can't help someone who does want to learn. Other than that, school is very helpful.

Unfortunately, we can’t measure how many people have survived due to lowered/slowed spread of COVID. Maybe less than 4, maybe more.

We could argue that the few people who burn to death in car accidents prove that seat belts are a bad idea, because we can’t see the actual deaths prevented by belts would have happened without them. You might think you were saved, but you’ll never really know. The toxic waste produced by batteries taken from smoke detectors and burnt in incinerators or escaped/escaping in the future may take more lives than the smoke detectors ever saved.

So, interesting to note, and truly sad. Worse than the alternative? Truly can’t say.

So is it the 400 years of readers and literary critics who are wrong, or is it you who are wrong? Whether or not you were entertained by it is a matter of personal taste, but declaring that it’s uninteresting suggests that you only gave it a cursory reading. I would also suggest that no one uses Don Quixote as a way to exaggerate their intelligence, it was deliberately written in a way so as to be accessible to the common man, which is part of the reason it has lasted for so long.
I thought I made a point
This makes a lot of sense. The wiki article begs the question, why not the same etymological analysis for the prefix 'epi' for the Epiphany/Επιφανεια? Επι+φανεια = epi + appear. Of course, adding prefixes to established word changes each words meaning, but if epi were to mean super/supra, it would mean that for each word -and, it clearly does not of Epiphany.
People don't reach for posture gurus [1,2,3] to adhere to strict normalcy, usually advice is sort for reasons of beauty, pain relief, and mental clarity. If you are experiencing shame for your walking style it may be that they believe improper walking, posture, and breathing leads to slavish, impulsive, in short, contagious behaviour. You might be proving your enemies right and providing them with the contrast they want with your wall of text.

Back on topic, who knows how much of our walking style/tendency is genetic asymmetries like muscle length or social mimicry.

If you just want the basics of improving normal walking posture: purposefulness, practice, feet straight, keep thine heel heavy as though you are pushing off the centre of the planet. And you'd be surprised how much the shoulders are the control centre for everything and how tight muscles magically release when the alternate one is engaged by second nature.

"It's normal and trivial for me; therefore, anyone who doesn't do it right must be lazy/greedy/insufficiently determined!"

There are so many ways that different people's bodies and brains are different, it is patently clear that the idea that it is realistically possible for every human to achieve and maintain what our current society says is an "ideal weight" over the course of years, no matter their physical, psychological, or financial situation is just another way for certain people to see themselves as more worthy and morally upright than others.
I haven't read much on monero / this algorithm, so I'm not sure if it's particularly meaningful, but wikipeda references that being the case for most of 2017-2018 and then the algorithm was changed.

Incredible that “pro free speech” is now a “right” belief. Free speech is perhaps the cornerstone of classical liberalism.
Why is everyone complaining about taxes being regulatory capture when email is becoming also becoming a monopoly?

It is literally impossible to start up your own email server now and have it accepted by major email hosts like microsoft and gmail now without your emails ending up in spam or even worse, completely dropped.

People should be asking why email is so broken that companies like mailchimp exist and is being bought for billions.

Gen Z are more honest than Millenials
"We will have to wait and see if Zoomers will resort to Millennial-esque coping mechanisms such as retro-themed handlebar moustaches and lumberjack outerwear. Perhaps Gen Z's willingness to see the world as it is will mean that we don't have to turn back our sartorial clock to escape reality for a moment. Perhaps Zoomers' more pragmatic outlook will result in a generation with a heightened sense of control over the future. Time will tell.

As Gen Z enters adulthood, some have become playfully critical of the Millennial generation. One TikTok Zoomer said it well: "they're worried about their harry potter house but they live in a 1 bedroom apartment...y'all worried about the wrong house .""

I'd also suggest looking at the tools for your filesystem of choice -- seeing about tuning (or outright disabling) journaling there too.

I'm surprised to see this wasn't mentioned here. It does jeopardize the data slightly, but we have to accept certain concessions have already been made.

There's a fair bit of 'idle chatter' that happens, reducing the frequency at which the filesystem journal updates will extend the longevity of the flash drive.

edit:

With that said though... most devices these days, even Raspberry Pis, have enough memory to hold an OS in memory.

I'd like to see a rise/resurgence in rootfs usage, only occasionally backing things up to disk :)
>This is a blindness that can only come from a lifetime of extreme privilege.

The system is already that for everyone rich enough.

I just want to have the same privilege as the Clintons and Trumps when it comes to ~~bribes~~ voluntary contributions.
So:

1. we save a couple of labour hours
2. make every phone and computer a lot slower and more annoying to use for hundreds of millions of people

It is not just a lack of optimization, I don't even know what to call it at this point. Intentional wastefulness probably.

I am a software engineer but I can't even imagine how a flashlight app can be several megabytes. What is inside it?

That's a shame -- cat body language is incredibly expressive! The tail gives away so much, as does the line of the body... It's definitely worth finding a quick guide when you have the time.

It's also interesting to note that domestic cat vocalizations are used primarily to communicate with humans! They notice we use speech, so they do too! And while some meows are common, others vary between cats -- it's like their very own language to talk to their owner.
> I think people are forking Chrome because it’s better code, but I might be wrong.

I'm going to go with the latter, but at best this is debatable and highly subjective depending on what matters to you.

> I have only seen the code of Chrome and it’s very Google-like C++, with truly enormous codebase.

I don't know where you are going with this; FF is a large code base too, uses servo (rust) and c++.

> Even Chrome did not fork Firefox back in the day and forked Safari.

> Electron did not use Firefox either.

Good for them? Never been interested in chrome/chromium or electron based apps.

I had always wondered why since Brendan Eich came from mozilla, forking from it and going their own way would be natural for them (imo), highly doubt that all of a sudden all the stuff he worked with for years became crap overnight and the decision was probably more political than anything, but who knows, just baseless speculation on my part.
I use a command line app called nb to manage my markdown files and a single markdown file per week, named after the first day of the week. For instance, this week's is called "Weekly Summary - 2021-09-13".

The format is an H2 for every day, named after the day's date, followed by an outline that covers what I worked on, including details that stood out, links to tickets and slack discussions, etc.

If I ever need to embellish upon a point, I add an H3 as the subheader and write up whatever needs embellishment. Same goes for useful queries I might want to reference later and other daily scratches. This makes for a useful [TOC] for apps that support it (I'm using typora)

In slack we have a room we post low-detail lists of what we worked on for the day. I generally just copy and paste my daily outline to it. It's TMI for the team, but the ease of doing so ensures I post consistently, and since a lot of my work tends to affect a lot of the team, I think those concerned tend to appreciate the extra detail.

Also, like @OnACoffeeBreak, I use a full sized notebook and a fancy pen to help keep me focused during meetings or when I need to sketch out an idea.
Both ancient Greece generally and Judaism and early Christianity specifically had strong practices of oral tradition. People memorized long works word for word and often primarily passed them on in this way. Hilariously (to the modern mind), Socrates criticized the practice of writing in general, as he felt discussing, memorizing, and repeating things conferred better mastery of the material (which is hard to disagree with, but...) : https://newlearningonline.com/literacies/chapter-1/socrates-...

This is one of my favorite examples of people being worried about the secondary effects of adopting technology. We've apparently been worried about that since the invention of writing.

Anyway. A lot of ancient systems of writing seem very ambiguous by modern standards. It is my suspicion that such systems are easier to use in a cultural context in which a lot of people already know by heart what the text is supposed to say. It is less of a complete source in itself and more of a reminder. Socrates, at least, seems to think this is what it is for.

Did you even read the title? It advocates for drowning out opposition based on what they believe "is true". Everyone thinks they are right. If you don't respect the right of those you disagree with to speak, functionally, you don't respect any freedom of speech.
>Muting it altogether can only make things worse as it will confine you in your "safe" but out of touch personal reality.

How do you get to that conclusion? If you're one to believe one way or another so decidedly that you will no longer listen to reason and fact, you're not going to blindly come across some post on social that makes you suddenly question everything. In fact, you'll probably become incensed with how there are suddenly things that conflict with what you believe instead of being force fed from social's algos. You'll probably assume there is a conspiracy out to get you to look at stuff you don't want to see instead of a firehose of like minded content.
Text file + Forward (forwardapp.co) - bought the source for an app called Jot before it shut down and brought it back online as Forward. Totally biased and I love it, all credit to the original author Dan Hopwood.

Forward sends me an email tomorrow, next week, with all of the notes I tag for that day. Takes it off my mind until I need to think about it.
Yeah, in security, “nation-state level actor” is used to mean “the most capable category of attackers, most (all?) of whom are particularly powerful nation-states [0]”, not “attacker at the level of at least the least-capable nation-state”.

Tech debt is valued at between 4% and 5% of US national debt? I doubt it.
> this somehow mean having a chicken in your yard and eating some eggs every week is evil.

I think this is a great step in the right direction, if you limit your animal product consumption to stuff like this. The problem is that no one really does just this. Loads of people have chickens in their backyard that they love, and they eat the eggs, but then they order a dish with eggs out at a restaurant, or they out for ice cream, and they are still supporting the companies responsible for the terrible treatment of animals that we see in videos of factory farms.

Most vegans probs won't join you in eating the backyard eggs, but most (that I know, at least!) would commend you for limiting your consumption of animal products that don't actively support factory farms.
By selecting the community college, I was just like any other student. I just had a regular counselor who made sure that I was picking at least 12 units that went toward my different GE categories or toward my intended major(originally EE, but switched to chemistry). Otherwise I was free to choose anything I wanted and did choose a lot of classes that didn't exactly fit with my plan, but were interesting to me.
So rich outsiders abuse a loophole until the states find some way to work around it, leaving all of the rich to abandon the reservation with virtually all of the profit. Really not seeing now the Natives benefit from this.
Agreed. It's genuinely funny at times. It's worth at least trying it for a few days
The only BlackBerry I ever owned was the BlackBerry Classic, back when that was still contemporary. Best phone I ever had. The UX was very consistent between apps, everything targeting it natively tended to be quite speedy, and the keyboard was excellent.

I also miss the "BlackBerry Hub" feature, which would aggregate your emails, BlackBerry messenger messages, and SMS messages into a single UI. It even pulled in notifications from Android apps, though opening them switched to that app rather than letting you reply in-line.

I bought mine after they had already released Android compatibility for any APK you cared to load, but unfortunately I think that feature was too little, too late.

I've been on an iPhone SE since around 2016. If I had the option to go back to using the BB Classic hardware/OS as it was when I switched, but with third-party app support and security updates, I would do it without second thought.
I think the only improvement that can’t exist together with fortresses in Civ2 is the airbase, and that can be a nuisance because airbases are bugged and act as a farm even on mined squares.

isn't this what AP courses are, more or less? if you get a high score on the BC calc exam, you can usually skip straight to multivariable or diff eq.

I don't think this would work well on a larger scale. deciding your college major is one of those big life decisions. it's hard enough for most people to make a good choice by the end of their sophomore year, let alone at age sixteen in highschool.

with writing in particular, there is a reason most schools require some sort of freshman writing seminar, and it isn't because high schools don't prioritize writing. in my experience at least, high schools spend a lot of time on writing skills, but still fail to matriculate many students who can meet expectations for college-level writing.

OneNote is pretty awesome. I don't know why these Google lovers can work without it.
The point with my reply is that you have enough to point out about the Chrome situation without having to resort to tenuous claims or outright falsehoods.

Google had to have had the better product otherwise you wouldn't have been introduced to Chrome by using their search engine.
depends on your definition of 'automate'. If you mean by computer software, perhaps not, but it begs the question of why one would presume that automation to be necessary. If you just mean 'software' (not necessarily computer software), then yes, rule of law is software that has scaled to manage society scale interactions and run for hundreds of years. Whether it is 'fair' is still debatable, but it is at least more legitimate than FB's system.
Or go to your local newsstand, pick up a copy, and leave without paying for it.

Good thing these devs don’t have meaningful equity. Inability to deliver because of the shit state of the code base they work with messes up the company value, at least for past companies. Another reason to share equity (make owner) and be super careful about contractors.

For the current company, it puts my ability to deliver in jeopardy so I’d really like to sit these devs down.

I think your premise is really that you want to work on the project from inception to V2 and GTFO before the problems show up, and I can’t disagree.
I do most of work in Emacs and use various notes files which I edit in org-mode. For example I have general 'personal.org' and 'research.org'. Then, on projects I work on I usually have misc .org files under 'doc/' directory. Such as, 'ideas.org', 'todo.org', etc. They are easy to edit in emacs with formatting and collapsing levels, and yet are readable with 'less' or could be even edited with 'vi' if I ssh somewhere.

I think interview feedback does more harm than good to be honest. It puts the idea that your entire life can be judged in 2-3 hours.

Like, who the fuck gets to say you did bad behaviorally, or you don’t fit the culture, over a 3 hour meeting? That’s extremely unfair.

The technical feedback is up for both parties to decide and no one side is right. It was either a fair question, followed with a fair answer.

The whole "I don't understand how people can possibly think that identity obfuscation at scale is a good thing for a financial system" can be answered by, "Will you share your entire transaction history and account balances with the entire world? Why not?"

Firefox has a number of security issues:

From here: https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps.

Worst of all, Firefox runs as a single process on mobile and has no sandbox beyond the OS sandbox. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux, where it can hardly be considered a sandbox at all) and lacks support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole.
