> as every company from the Journal to the Times to Nordstrom would be screwed without ads.

The ad industry had the opportunity and the ability to address this problem, but (for short-term reasons) they decided not to. This is the long-term result. They did this to themselves, and now they deserve to suffer the consequences, up to and including a fiery death for the industry as a whole.

Nordstrom, etc. don't need to suffer as a result of this, they can simply observe the online ad industry and make a decision about when to stop using it -- perhaps in favor of something new and different, or perhaps not. Print ads still work just fine.

The Times, etc. charge for access, are happy to sign you up via web form, but then force you to call them if you want to cancel. As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't be running online ads at all anymore. If ad blocking becoming prevalent hurts them, too fucking bad.
The packages likely have mass/volume or similar measurements that can be scaled. I do this for children's vs babies medicines sometimes as the markup for new parents is intense.

However there maybe other ingredients that wouldn't be good for dogs or the division of the medication might not be straight forward depending on it's form.
Honestly, switching to a more natural layout like Dvorak is probably one of the best things you can do for wrist pain. I don't think there have been any studies on it yet, but anecdotally it's great. Many people report likewise.

It's not easy to switch but imo it's well worth the time to optimize one of the primary interfaces with which you will interact with the world for decades to come.

It's so bizarre to me that we are all stuck on a horribly unoptimized interface and we continue to teach our children how to use it, when much-better performing alternatives are easily available.
Thanks! Skipping the first few results (which, I don't know why, are at the top even though they don't have that many points), the rest is what I want.
For the non-Canadians (and possibly some Canadians too) who miss the reference: "Our home on native land" is an alternative lyric some people sing in the national anthem in place of the line "our home and native land".

The word "native" in the national anthem has nothing to do with indigenous peoples though -- it's a poor translation of "Terre de nos aïeux", which is really more along the lines of "land of our forefathers"... and is a reference specifically to the Quebecois, who settled in what is now Canada long before the British conquered them in 1759.

So... yeah, you can mangle the lyrics to make a point about European settlers, or you can keep the lyrics as written and make a snide remark about how the British should give Quebec back to the Quebecois. Neither version is really very flattering to the concept of Canada as a nation!
I liked this book, but it’s a prime example of an article or blog post that gets turned into a book by adding a bunch of things that don’t really provide more useful information, but seem to serve as filler to make it book-length.

I read the book, and I read the article that the book was based on. I don’t recall learning anything from the book that I hadn’t already learned from the article.
I don't think that level of snark is really warranted here.
Agreed. I use FF on my Android devices because it's the best browser by a huge margin (uBlock Origin and AMP redirect alone guarantee that; not being made by Google is icing on the cake).

However, FireFox mobile could always be better. I really hope that Mozilla keeps listening to the users to figure out how to make the browsers better, especially when they have so many engineers that they seem to constantly shuffle the UI around just to give them work to do. There's plenty of actual improvements to make, and more options to give users with different preferences, and that should be where Mozilla spends engineer time with such a mature product. Instead of rewriting the browser every couple of years because the previous one was a mess.

True

RE Optical vs Magnetic: Unless someone has some good hard data to show me (I'm honestly very interested in seeing more numbers on this subject), I'm going to continue to assume high quality optical media is going to last longer and require less special treatment than hard drives, tapes, etc. Flash media lasts even less time. Yes, information density is lower on optical, so it really depends what you are backing up. If your concern is rolling backups of an entire prod server worth of customer records perhaps don't choose optical, however that's so far from what we're talking about in this thread that I don't see why it would influence your decision making process. However, if the goal is to backup a save file, or some old family photos, optical is still my go-to.

LOL OK, so I need to dig around in back every time I need to plug in my headphones? Really?! Perhaps you just make the back the new front, I've done that on a few rigs in the past.

> Not sure what you mean about fan placement since most cases are designed to operate with positive pressure which reduces the amount of dust collected.

Interesting, I hadn't considered that before. I'll have to test that out on my next rebuild.

That being said, I doubt the OP has positive interior pressure, since there are two "lower speed fans on the radiator" for intake, and three pushing out from the top.

What exactly do you mean with "lose steam"? Stakeholders not participating anymore? Or they do and there is nothing to discuss?

Maybe just adjust both the cadence and length of the meetings, since there is always the option to call in separate, longer meetings if something comes up?

Use those check ins to also further an executive summary status page (e.g. in table form with big "OK", "AT RISK" etc. badges to individual items), that not only serves to serve as a reference for all the stakeholders on where things are, but also to communicate status to higher ups.

The article linked simply says there have been people who misused ivermectin who presented at the hospital. For what reason they went we have no idea because it does not say.

I had rsi as well, so bad I couldn't shake anyone's hand. I thought my wrist was broken. What fixed it for me was to drop the keyboard down onto my lap using a laptop desk, or "lapdesk." I believe my pain was from resting my wrists or forearms on the desk or chair armrests...So I also removed the chair armrests. Also, removing the distance from keyboard to mouse by utilizing a tablet keyboard w/o a numeric keypad. Using the i3 window manager in Linux was great, and I need to do better at using vimium in the browser to reduce mouse usage.
It took me forever to find the lapdesk thing out, and there is research behind the ergonomics:

I honestly don't see how using NVIDIA would be in the interest of users.

e.g. AMD's GPUs have full documentation, and high quality open source drivers. Same deal with Intel.

NVIDIA, you have to deal with their blob, and tough luck if it doesn't work, especially if NVIDIA has decided not to support your hardware anymore. They do that fairly quickly. In that sense, their GPUs are comparable with PowerVR, and your average shitty android SoC.

> What defines an "indigenous" people?

Generally part of it is history of colonization. Good example of non-european related indigenous people are the Ainu, who are considered indigenous in comparison to the colonizing Japanese.
I wish companies would go back to the old-fashioned process of selling advertising directly to other companies, skipping the middle-men and the need to aggregate user data at all, except maybe at the unique visitor level. There wouldn't be all the hoopla about making sure they weren't gaming the click-through system or whatever, so they wouldn't need javascript. Just an image. I wouldn't have to worry about being tracked, and I wouldn't have to worry about potentially dangerous javascript running on my machine. The ads could be served from the same machine that serves their other images, and I wouldn't feel the need to go out of my way to block them.

I know that's incredibly naive, and simple wish fulfillment, but damn the ad industry has made the web into a nightmare. I'm tired of playing the game of trying to decide which domains I need to temporarily allow to see the content they put out there for free without being tracked across the web. I'd rather go back to the "Punch the Monkey" days of online advertising.

See what he means. There is no reason transport needs to force a schedule life on you. Good transit is frequent enough that when you decide to go you just walk out the front door to the station and wait for the ride to show up - it will be soon enough.

But you have never seen that so it hasn't occurred to you that it is possible.

I disagree with broad brush statements about "uniquely-European" ideas when it comes to indigenous peoples of the Americas. The concept of land ownership, stewardship and ultimately domain of rule, were present with cultures across the Americas. This can be inferred though hunting grounds passed through clans, to land surrounding structures, like the tribe I am from. What seems to be interesting is the uniquely-American idea of the native monoculture or some kind of tribal harmony with land, resources, and people. It is a shame that our history is fragmented and understudied because it wasn't a Disney-esque utopia before the Vikings and Spaniards.

For what it's worth, I'm indigenous and maintain close ties to my family's pueblo in New Mexico.

Similarly curious - my understanding is that Tesla w/ FSD effectively drives as a relatively selfish and "reactive" driver, theoretically dealing with anything entering its driving path.

I'd also be interested to know if the Tesla FSD can react to "foreseeable second order" issues that an experienced driver is expected to respond to. For example, a pedestrian crossing (giving priority to pedestrians) where visibility of the waiting pedestrian is obscured by a parked vehicle. A human driver can recognise they lack visibility of the footpath around the crossing (and recognise the crossing by road markings and street furniture), and therefore slow on approach, since there is a risk they may need to stop rapidly.

I considered textbundle, but went for HTML for one reason: data accessibility. Imagine in 20 years from now you'd want to access your data and do not have the app around for some reason. You would need to find another app that supports the .textbundle format. Or you would need to manually rename all .textbundle notes to .zip to extract them. Even if a normal user would know about this, it would still be a pain. With HTML you can drag a note into a browser and see the contents. Links to other notes will work as well. Images will show right away, too. Pros and cons for each format...
Can you elaborate what is "took forever to get rid of"? My cat had hookworms too as he was a shelter cat. It took 3 rounds of medication to finally cure it (I haven't seen a worm since June 2020). My vet said that's pretty much normal, single dose may not 100% kill all parasites. I live in MA, USA.

It's true that Tesla pays nobody to put their name somewhere. Not TV, Google Ads, Twitter, etc. They do have marketing since they need to have a website that, when someone visits it (driven by an outside source), they are encouraged to purchase the product.

Yeah, it's not so much efficiency.. phones don't have that big batteries anyways.

Inefficiency implies heating :)

>I've never heard of a vaccine that causes viruses to seek resistance to it, that's one major difference. The vaccines don't actually attack the virus, they simply train your body's own immune system to recognize the virus, so that if you get infected, your body's own defenses can more quickly isolate the virus and attack it.

Actually, there's a related but far worse form of adaptation that can be precipitated by leaky vaccines (vaccines that do not prevent infection or shedding), an example is Marek's disease in poultry [0]. Long story short, after some number of decades of vaccination, the virus now has approximately 100% lethality in non-vaccinated chickens, orders of magnitude worse than pre-vaccine.

And, not to blaspheme, but all data seems to indicate that the mRNA vaccines are indeed leaky, this is definitely a subject which should be receiving far more attention IMO from regulatory bodies like the FDA, but there seems to be a severe stigma against criticizing the vaccines...

Isn't slow charging actually better for the phone?

I prefer to slow change even if the phone supports fast charging — I wish it was easier to do by having a setting instead of having to use incompatible charger and/or cable. The stop limit at 80% should also be made available as a setting, too.
Every way you slice and dice it, 'indigenous' is another word for 'pure bred' or 'Fatherland', which, when you use its synonym, makes it sound as dangerous of an idea as it is.

The reason indigeneity is not applied to Europe or Asia is because those cultures are just as indigenous as the natives of other parts of the world, but they've advanced well beyond that.

The resurgence of indigeneity as a concept is due to a resurgence of the noble savage myth on the behalf of europeans and a xenophobic, racial purity craze on behalf of certain self-described indigenous (it's hardly a universal thing).

In reality, being part of a lineage that's been on a certain plot of land gives you no more rights or authority than anyone else. Land division, ownership, and use should be determined by the needs of currently existing people, not tied indeterminably to the past. Why is it that we are happy to toss out any old tradition, and any old legal document, in order to bring it up to date with modern needs, but we simultaneously need to kowtow to people who claim their authority solely from the immobility of their ancestors?

Clojure (and Lisps in general) really aren't hard to learn. It just takes those of us that come from C-influenced languages like PHP a little longer to be able to read them at a glance because the syntax is slightly different and usually simpler.

Once that lightbulb of the power of a Lisp goes off, there's no turning back. As Eric S. Raymond said, "Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot."
This is pretty much a lie. For example DLSS does not work on Linux so how can it have better performance that Windows.

Drivers are better on windows, games are developped for windows and optimized for it so the vaste majority run better on Windows.
Client-side analysis allows the game to identify unauthorized access to game state, which is the root cause of most cheating (probably not going to prevent computer vision aimbots that just analyze frames). It's just a much simpler and effective solution than fine-tuning a statistical model.
