Funny place to revert to - not so far back that you lose the memory of your wife-to-be, but far enough back to lose the entirety of that life together.

Maybe preserving some of that memory, without preserving so much it becomes too devastating?
to be fair, every subsequent "revival" could go back (say) only 49 years, so that you keep that extra year of understanding the situation - assuming it works like that (that the new timeline is you new 'state' s.t. you can keep newly acquired knowledge).

You could further improve on the initiation process to reduce that time, and just have more frequent revisions.

So I wouldn't expect the guy would have to be returned to the same state every time repeatedly, as the tech is described.
> Having to get up early the next day means you can have 3, maybe 4 hours of socializing outside

I'm not sure I understand - moving the clock back means you would get off work "sooner", but you would also have to arrive at work in the morning "earlier". So it shouldn't make any difference to the hours of sleep you get.

> it’s impossible to be outside comfortably before 20:00 at the earliest

> If we moved the clock backwards you could be outside from around 18:00

> my employer still expects me to be in the office at 9

I find these times confusing, b/c you don't state whether they are times under the new, DST-adjusted measure, or the previous scheme. I'd assume if your employer has a fixed 9AM start time, then it would have a fixed end-time too, and thus it wouldn't make sense to me how you would be able to get outside (for 6PM vs 8PM) any earlier.
Is it a big part of society though? I would have though children walking to school is fairly independent to the rest of society that needed time-milestones.

Would we assume parents are walking their children to school, hence need to start work later? If that's the case, why does it matter how dark it is?
From one of the comments -

> The Library Director seem very interested in me, but when she looked at my résumé little more carefully she said “you appear to be a job hopper.”

To which my reply would be, gilded in sarcasm to an appropriate level as I've no time for someone that doesn't take time to at least read and think about a CV, perhaps there was something redeeming earlier, perhaps, "I'm terribly sorry, did you just get my CV? I'd love to work on improving internal communications."

Library Director. Technical Assistant. Technical Director. Office Assistant. Any job. Doesn't matter. For as much as Hiring is an unsolved problem, XYZ seeks to solve it that may pop up on Show now and again, once someone's writing a letter of interest, speaking on the telephone, appearing face-to-face, or other mode of interaction, someone's giving you their time, the least one can do is reciprocate that.
You're not alone with this specific gripe. Some of my colleagues include sites similar to https://nohello.net in their staff directory page.
It's inertia. Why would an "account" be any different from a "wallet?" Or an "secret key" from "routing number?"

And yeah the UX is not quite there yet. It gets better depending on the project. Crypto.com for example has a partnership with Visa and lets you have a prepaid card tied to your portfolio. But their app is centralized and there's a lot of shiny terms and if you don't have a friend or good resources to learn, most people give up quickly. Just like how kids need to be taught financial literacy, it's not like we learned how to use credit cards out of the blue.

And since crypto is volatile, it has the same "oh I don't touch stock market stuff because I always lose money" and people think crypto overall is a scam not worth the hassle.
It really feels like everyone responding to this is willfully missing the point. The question everyone is asking is, "but how can you levy a tax on an asset before any gains have been realized?"

And the analogy to property taxes is a good one. You pay more in taxes when your property increases in value. If the value goes down it'll be reassessed and you'll pay less. And this repeats year after year.

Now, look, you can think that's a good system or you can think it's a bad one. But it's not some esoteric, inscrutable concept.
An opinionated list of best practices for textual websites (2020)
I find the page visibility API, supported by every browser including Firefox, just as creepy. Perhaps even more, since most users don't know it exists and gave no permission for it to operate. Websites have no business knowing if I'm looking at them or not, and making assumptions about what I want them to do when I'm not.

> This was a huge win, but I had become disillusioned by the process.

This fucks me up really bad too. I made significant progress in very expressive KPIs and my answer after a promotion was “I quit”. It’s very little rewarding to pick up low hanging fruits, specially if they’re there as result of bad decision making early on by other people, even though it’s so rewarding career-wise.

Good luck, OP. No matter the end result, enjoy the journey.
I had an Azure employee troubleshoot my PG db instance for hours with me, for free, while our total spend was something like $100 a month.

Now, this employee didn't really help, but they were obviously professional and had database experience and didn't act condescending / like they were doing us a favor at all.

They just worked through the issue with me, which was a very pleasant surprise.
Yes, that person did drop 0days publicly and then promptly faced an FBI investigation causing a tremendous level of stress and irreparable mental health damage.
Yeah Fulcro has been building up their implementation of these ideas for ages, and used in anger, I think most famously by nubank.

From https://book.fulcrologic.com:

"The core ideas are as follows:

Graphs and Graph Queries are a great way to generalize data models.

UI trees are directed graphs that can easily be "fed" from graph queries.

User-driven operations are modeled as transactions whose values are simply data (that look like calls).

Arbitrary graphs of data from the server need to be normalized (as in database normalization):

UI trees often repeat parts of the graph.

Local Manipulation of data obtained from a graph needs to be de-duped.

Composition is King. Seamless composition is a key component of software sustainability."
Am I the only one who thinks it's incredibly suspicious that the folks that "discovered" the Azure security issues were the same guys who were responsible for Cloud Security at Azure? https://www.wiz.io/press-releases/wiz-emerges-from-stealth-w...
Writing one good set of docs that are suitable for all users (experts and newbies) is really hard. Structuring complex topics in a logical and progressive manner is also really hard. Having tried to write the docs on a few software projects, I honestly found writing the docs harder than writing the code (though maybe it gets easier with practice).

I find the Azure docs to be decent. They are consistent across services for the most part, so you learn how to work with them after a bit of experience on the platform.
The point, despite your defensive posturing about Europeans, is that the largely unintentional introduction of disease by Spanish explorers and missionaries was a cataclysm for the Americas unlike anything seen on any other continent.

Sure, not long after, they sent armies to conquer the land, but that's not part of the die off that took place before most of those armies got off the boats.

I'm not pretending there was anything more or less noble about the residents of the Americas vs. those of Europe (although the latter do have a spectacularly bad record).
Apple only was slapped down on anti-steering to other payment options, NOT in collecting a commission.

That includes potentially changing their developer agreement to now require developers to meter and perhaps even audit external payments to submit Apple's commission.

Because they can no longer differentiate payments made independent of the app (because the anti-steering clauses are gone) this could result in required commission to apple in cases which it formerly was not required.
Just another reason to ditch Google all together. I've been using Fastmail (paid, happily so) with my own domain for about 4 years now, and have been gradually changing all my online accounts that were using my gmail.com address to my own domain. Reduces Google's surveillance abilities (to some extent) and I don't have this problem at all.

Also, I use a desktop email client (Spark on MacOS) with IMAP/SMTP. Massive improvement over any webmail client, especially GMail.
Can't speak for the other commenter, but I'm "available" when I sit at my computer playing Civilization for 6 hours, despite the fact that I won't touch my IM application that entire time. If you're trying to set "Away" based on how often I interact with the application, you're getting it wrong for 5 hours and 40 minutes of that period.
Go to edge or chrome without an ad blocker and do a search for software or something. You will get adware, malware, and outright wrong suggestions for the first ten results. Google AdWords does not directly host malware typically, but the sites behind them do. Fishing is trivial to pull off. I believe, as a matter of actual national security, online advertising that is deceptive or leads to deceptive locations should be illigal. I want to see heads roll when I get fake "download" buttons when trying to actually download an image for work.
In addition, I imagine confounds which are patient/location specific can be calibrated out to some extent, by comparing against finger-stick while fasting, and longer-term A1C.

> You want to open up yourself to risk for your identity being stolen and normalize handing out personally identifiable information just to maybe make it harder for cheaters to get in on some of your games?

If you look at how much how much time and effort and money people put into these games, it doesn't seem so unreasonable. Another commenter pointed out that you have to give a similar amount of personal information to get a car loan, or, as you say, to get a plane ticket. I suspect a lot of people spend comparable amounts of money and effort on gaming, and probably see it as a bigger part of their lives.
The fact that the average consumer doesn't care doesn't make it less shitty. Nobody is sitting around amortizing the cost of chargers by year. Fifteen bucks is a full home screen of paid apps on your new phone.
This is such an incredible amount of vulnerable mission-critical data.

- all contacts, including 3rd party messaging apps, with metadata (interactions, timestamps, other stats)
- full address book
- whether any app is installed
- SSID of connected wifi

and formerly,

- medical info
- device usage
- screen time
- device accessories

I don't keep anything mission critical on mobile, but this is still a gargantuan set of exploits, and each appear extremely straightforward to validate and pay out the security researcher (and maybe even patch). It's utterly tragic how Apple (and others) have devolved to become the same monolithic, careless organizations they once displaced.

I really, really hope something changes. Soon.
That already exists. It's called auto-complete, and for plenty of users it knows everything necessary to make purchases.
"The first building block of this new architecture is something called the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), which developers can use to build social apps and services. Instead of creating value by hoarding personal data, social apps would compete based on the value of the service they provide users. "

There are only four "social apps" that people value - finding content that they want to see, seeing said content, finding people who they want to communicate with, and communicating with said people.

Everything else is a cost imposed on people in return for providing those services.
> Partly i think it's also on people to learn a little.

It isn't just limited to non-tech people. Even many programmers even aren't aware of it. They know how to code, but they don't understand the larger systems that they are a part of.
Anecdotal, but a Keto diet has completely flatlined my BG — in a very good way. I’m talking about being in the range of 4.8 to 5.8 for weeks on end. My endocrinologist thinks I’m a wizard and has never seen anyone with 100% in range.

I also love that I never have to bolus with food. It’s the closest I can get to pretending I’m not a T1D. I just eat. If I’m full, I stop and don’t have to worry that I accidentally took too much insulin. To reiterate, I take zero boluses when I’m on the keto diet.

Doctors are against it because they’re dealing with ketoacidosis on a regular basis. Ketosis also means your body is producing ketones (which I believe is the source of confusion for doctors), but that’s fine because your BG is in a normal range. Technically you’re at higher risk for ketoacidosis when on the keto diet because of those ketones, but realistically your BG is not going to reach >15mmol/L so you don’t have to worry too much.

By the way, you may be interested in Loop[0] if you wanted to look at a more advanced closed loop system. It can handle both auto basal and auto bolusing.

I bought a wireless charging pad when I got my phone. Haven't used it once after trying for a few days.

1. I can't use the phone while it's charging. Sometimes I want to do that. Even in bed. Even after I've laid my head down.

2. I have to put the phone on there just so for the coils to align. (Magsafe looks awesome in this regard, but I have a XR, so I'm out of luck)

3. It's slower than the plugin charger.

4. Half the time I want to charge my phone, I'm in the car, or at my desk, or somewhere else where my wireless charging pad isn't. If a phone was exclusively wireless charging, then I'd have to buy several doohickeys.
Disord's idle/away seems to be working for me in FF.
The point of an active/away indicator is to indicate whether the recipient of a message is likely to see/respond to the message in real time. If I'm active in another website and have notifications disabled I might not see it.
How about two macbooks. then you get a dual display, too.

just have to figure out how to synchronize them
I have had the same experience - the entire package works really well for a small team. We had a really easy time configuring our builds, but we don't do anything fancy - install things, run unit tests, create a build artifact.

Haven't had issues with Azure functions, though DI is wonky in them if you try to build anything complex (imo you shouldn't). Other than that, I guess I just don't use them often to really understand what all the boilerplate does. Finally, when we switched to Python from .NET, it didn't feel like any of the function knowledge carried over somehow. Felt like developing on a different platfom.

I also HATED the Azure certification exam compared to GCP. GCP tried to actually teach you something practical, Azure tested a bunch of memorization that you can google.
Oh no, I never forget the HN story on the expert losing 80K on AWS.
Yep. I have some one cent a month bill from GCP from Hackathon days.
I feel like 90% of modern cars would have stopped for the object blocking the lane. Even if the police weren't there, then it would have just smashed into the car stopped on the highway. The fact it didn't recognize the police car isn't the issue, it's that Tesla's are basically blind to anything not moving.
That is pretty much a Stoic argument: focus on what you can control. Ignore what you can’t. It is a very practical way to live.
His "special case" is that he goes more than 20 minutes between checking his chat client, but he is still available, so why should he be marked as 'away'?
If these are gargantuan, how would you describe a remote zero click complete device compromise (complete with camera/microphone access)? What about an exploit that can cause the users phone to explode?
CVS sells their strips at $0.20 once you buy 200+. I'm sure you can get lower.

And why shouldn't this compete ? Their costs will be lower than test strips, their profits could be very significant.

They probably monetize with the device itself and then a monthly subscription for their tracking portal. Sounds quite reasonable to me. As a patient, I'd love it.

Edit: As a startup, it's not your job to match existing offerings - it's to disrupt. Ask Space-X, they can't compete with Boeing either ;)

> The various meanings of 'racism' is one example, I call them neoracism and classical racism to distinguish.

I believe you make an excellent point

What much of the mainstream population interprets as racist behavior (a significant example being WW2 caricatures) would be considered both classically racist, and neoracist.

The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations would also be considered by many to be classically racist, but not neoracist. As neoracism views everything through a lense distorted by privilege theory, hegemony, and critical race theory, this would instead be viewed as a counter to previous racism. "Sure, give the unprivileged a leg up at the expense of the privileged, that white man doesn't need it."

If we apply the same to sexism, there are then two definitions of sexism - a classical one, and a neosexist one. One affirms what we know biologically speaking are the differences, and tendencies. Neosexism on the other hand, is viewed through a gender theory lense, tempered with CRT and privilege theory, completely malleable, and in many cases, rejecting the science of biology. Level setting to disadvantage men would be a plus. However, in neosexism, the pecking order would start with men at the lowest, followed by genetic women, and then into modified/self-identified and others.

We could also carry this though in sexual preference, ethnicity, religion, etc. For example, classical discrimination against traditionalist religious groups such as Christians, Muslims, and Observant Jews are frowned upon. But, in a neo-sense, discrimination against them, for having privilege or being part of power structures, would be a benefit, even, dare I say, celebrated, particularly if they benefit from Western Civilization.

This goes a long way towards explaining what we can observe as outgrowth of Critical Theory / Privilege Theory.
Yeah...and if I have to sit through one more week of managers and devs freaking out about lambda cold starts Im probably going to quit tech altogether. It is the most dumb ass broken record. Torture. Read the manual before you write two hundred functions and bet the whole project on fantasies next time.
A moral hazard with all cloud providers is that their PaaS services are typically billed on consumption.

So what incentive do you image they have to make those services efficient?

My favourite example is Log Analytics. It can easily cost up to 20% of the virtual machines it is monitoring! If you have a very heavily loaded website and you're logging every HTTP request, it can exceed the cost of the service it is monitoring.

They charge you a ludicrous $2,380 per terabyte of ingested data. This is 20x the cost of the underlying storage, even if it's Premium SSD! For comparison, AWS charges just $500, which is still overpriced.

Now consider: If you're an Azure software developer and you find a way to reduce the bloat in the log data stream format, what do you think the chances are of getting that approved with management?

They have a firehose spewing money in their cloud. I can't imagine them ever saying: "I think it's a good idea to turn that down to a mere trickle!"

As others have pointed out, all of their other services have similar moral hazards: Bastion, NAT Gateways, Private Endpoints, Backup, Snapshots, etc...
The issue wasn’t algorithm complexity but algorithm behavior. Author definitely has learned something about promoting articles, has not apparently learned or thought about software performance.

The constant factors also play a huge role, as the author found out. Do you want a car that takes 2 hours to warm up and then accelerates to 200mph in 5 seconds, or a car that goes 0-60 in 10 seconds and tops out there? Depends on how far you’re going.

I’m not sure I’d want to hire them after reading this, but a piece about how big O isn’t the full picture would get sympathy.

Possibly world ending, at least from the perspective of the user whose phone explodes next to their face?

> And I am saying that the whole concept of "our team" is a dangerous one.

I agree. I think more dangerous is "the other team."

> To me this means you should be against the whole concept of "teams"

In theory, yes, I don't like how we split into different teams and fight against each other, and would get rid of the concept of teams. In practice, I find that if I have to use the team concept (and this in-group/out-group dynamic seems to be strongly embedded in many cultures), then I try to get rid of teams by extending my definition of "my team" as much as I can, to include friends, enemies, strangers, other animals, and other lifeforms.

I would like to eventually get rid of the concept of teams, gradually through expanding and integrating other teams into one huge team until there are no "other teams" left, and also getting back on the same team when we get into conflicts.

Anyways, thank you for following up with me and helping me think through this and reflect on this more deeply.
Using flash cc several years before EOL, it just wasn't a particularly consistent environment to develop in regardless of target device, and if you wanted to make ipad apps you ran into lots of limitations on what you could actually do with a release build, not sure if flash ever got the opportunity to use runtime interpreted actionscript 3 on release builds for iOS... that would have been nice to have.
