Fastmail: Couldn't you give a 2 or 3 paragraph summary of your service instead of this silly "easy to read" format that seems all the rage for web pages over the last 10+ years? I mean, fastmail of all companies should get this.

> I'll admit while I'm inclined to believe that it's better to distribute money to workers rather than investors, I don't understand the economic mechanics that makes this true.

It's probably more true now than during most of history, but it's not always true.

It probably was true in the Reagan era that trickle-down "worked", because there was a lot of opportunity for large scale capital investment to improve the economy and make things people wanted (and provide jobs in the process). That doesn't seem as true now. Investors already have an excess amount of capital they don't know what to do with (and so are just doing things like buying houses en masse).
Still waiting on info on the vaccine passport app for Ontario, which is supposed to be rolled out on Oct 22. I'm hoping it'll be open source, but no one's mentioned it. Lot of potential for logging where everyone's going with an app like what is being proposed.

Edit:

Looks like the BC one is not open source, can't find it on GitHub: https://github.com/bcgov

I can't find the Quebec gov GitHub account, so no idea on that. Probably closed as well.
I don't think this is the killer app for robotics.

I think the killer app - and something I would pay for immediately - is a moveable platform programmed to travel between waypoints.

So, a platform that stays level regardless of terrain and you put stuff on it and tell it to go to the (living room, backyard, carport, barn, whatever).

I arrive home with a load of groceries and I put four bags on this platform and press the "kitchen" button.

That's it. Just a magic box that transports (slowly) things to places around your yard/property/warehouse.
> At some point airplane owners need to be forced to upgrade their engines, or quit flying.

It's not about the owners, at all. Airplanes already have a limit on how many hours their engines have, after that it needs to be overhauled or replaced.

It's just that, for many planes, there aren't really any options available, as other engines are not certified for their planes.

Even for the planes that _are_ certified and can be changed to use other fuels, most airports don't have them available (even "mogas", which is automotive gasoline with no ethanol, is difficult to find).

It's true and it often depends on things like company size (2 hours or less for large companies, 3-4 hours for small startups) and role (managers are lucky to hit 2 and ICs can usually get to 3 when they're not in meetings all day).
I don’t ”just work here”; I could and often do skip extra meetings, but sometimes it’s better to not want to be an asshole towards other people, you know?

You can’t put a dollar value directly on life, creativity or freedom; it is only possible through avoidance of death, parting with the fruits of creativity, and the various binds we put ourselves in.
Yeah, but it didn't become a title until the Julio-Claudians started using it to designate their heirs. When Augustus took it on, it was just a powerful family name. Once the Julio-Claudians were finished, it was a title.

It seems overwhelmingly likely that when later emperors kept using it, they were referencing the dynasty that Augustus founded, not Julius Caesar personally.

Almonds in California are reported to use about 2.6 billion liters of water and the industry is worth about $5 billion. So still not viable at $6.96/CCF, but maybe more viable than the average for Californian crops.

Oddly many adversaries of the US (such as Colombian drug gangs) have fielded stealth boats, but thanks to cost disease the US has fielded only 3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumwalt-class_destroyer

That kind of boat disappears in the clutter for a sea-based radar and pulse doppler won't help as much as it helps for airplanes since boats don't move as fast. With satellite SAR the clutter won't be so bad, in fact, the resolution is probably high enough that you see the absence of roughness from waves.

The US hides modern missile boats from the public eye since they don't bristle with aggressive-looking guns. I saw this

China, on the other hand, makes action movies like 𝑊𝑜𝑙𝑓 𝑊𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟 2 that show how proud they are of ships that can shoot cluster bombs out of vertical launch tubes.

The Australian state and the people of Australia are not the same thing.

Even though Australia was founded as an imperial colony...

1. It was a colony of Britain, not the US.

2. It's been a couple of hundreds of years by now. Many generations.

3. The internal social relations are class-stratified just like any capitalist democracy.

Also, I don't see why it should not be able to exist long without a sponsor.
There's some secret sauce behind it, but mostly just using relatively inexpensive cloud inference hardware very effectively. It turns out most of the common NLP frameworks leave a good deal of performance on the table, not to mention the importance of minimizing cloud costs through general methods like using spot instances.

R doesn't stand for row-store. The access patterns of Clickhouse are comparable with any RDBMS. The fact that it happens to be a column-store doesn't make it not an RDBMS. It doesn't mean "row-oriented databases designed for OLTP workloads" as it appears you think is the case.

Should I have simply said "SQL databases where data is represented in tables with a defined schema" to simplify the discussion and prevent your ignorant diatribe?

There are multiple factors that contribute to the placebo effect. The psychosomatic response is one of them. "Optimistic interpretation/collection of data by people wanting to see the medicine work" is another factor, but one that's typically removed by double-blinding. With some conditions, just plain reversion-to-the-mean is also part of the placebo effect--if you take a pill to cure your headache and your headache goes away, who's to say the headache wouldn't have gone away of its own accord anyway?
Frankly, backblaze looks like an over-specialized player whereas clouflare is already used for a lot of stuff.

Eg: my employer already has stuff on clouflare, using their services is just as easy as pulling their terraform provider. OTOH, for backblaze, I'd have to go through the whole evaluation process, security and legal compliance etc etc...
Off topic funny story: My highest voted answer on SO is a very basic one about Pandas, from 7 years ago. It's funny that I've only used Pands for a few weeks, years ago (I would need to relearn it from scratch now), but 90% of my SO score comes from that answer and I still get more points almost daily. In fact I'm in the top 6% of SO mostly thanks to that answer.

> "And to my knowledge, my IQ did not suffer."

I suspect the opposite. I grew up eating off of lead-contaminated Lenox dishes, playing with fishing weights and mercury from broken thermostats, and other stimulating but toxic activities. I strongly suspect these things account for at least some of the attention deficit and impulse control issues I now struggle with as an adult.

I'm sure your IQ is more than adequate, but you have no way of knowing what it would be if your brain was kept cleaner in your youth. For my part, I'd love to be smarter.
This is why they aren't going to be mandated in the US. There just isn't popular support for costly measures such as this[1], and this complaint (I wouldn't really call it "news") shows the cognitive dissonance that happens when you confuse agreement with a particular cause for commitment to that cause. Neither the US public nor the US government is sufficiently concerned about carbon output to hurt their bottom line, nor is there a willingness to do so. There is, however, great willingness to subsidize various businesses, give out loans, rebates, and other benefits. So knowing that the public has no interest in the stick but always wants carrots, you are better off advocating for research on energy breakthroughs rather than fantasizing about some strict regime of carbon mandates in the US.

Covid: 37% of people have symptoms six months after infection
At risk of sounding brash, you have a very traditional (old school) mentality on what management is.

The teams currently seeing the best results are the ones embedding their engineers in the discovery process so they can deeply understand the customer's problems and drive appropriate solutions. It's a bit "less efficient" upfront, but pays dividends during delivery when they can more appropriately model their code and make meaningful decisions without always relying on an outside party.

My role as a manager isn't telling my team how to solve problems. It's helping them identify the most meaningful problems and guiding them towards solutions against those problems. Over time this means that I actually spend less and less time "managing" them and more time listening.
You can also add indiehackers onto that list; great community of makers
How is this different from https://github.com/cdr/code-server ?
One interesting approach I heard about in this domain is the Trolldrossel (German for troll throttle) by Linus Neumann from CCC. He implemented a captcha test for a comment server that would fail with a certain percentage when encountering certain key-words in the comment, even when the captcha was solved correctly.

While I have no notes about the effects and the corresponding talk seems to have vanished from the internet, it supposedly worked quite well by forcing any 'obscene' comments through additional rounds of captcha without telling that that was the reason for them to fail, thus demotivating the submitting person to do so.
Actually, no. You can have trains that stop some stations, some at others, and yet some more that are direct. It used to work quite well.

Now it's not possible anymore because the new line avoids the towns.
Yeah, I've written C for the PIC16 which has a hardware stack .. of depth 8. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/158307/is-th...

I'm not entirely sure it was a standards-compliant compiler though. I think it may have denied recursion?

Mind you, I also think people have unreasonably high expectations of the C standard; in order to get things done you inevitably have to make compromises and use features that aren't available on every platform. Which leads to autoconf hell, but if you're still developing on C you've accepted its imperfections.
> I suspect it's easier to adapt a human to an environment optimized for robots than it is to adapt a robot to an environment optimized for humans.

1) Make a convention to keep something like docs dir in each of your git repos that contains buildable adoc documentation.

2) Create a Jenkins pipeline that clones your repositories, builds the adoc files, and serves a web index page that you can browse.

3) Execute the pipeline periodically, e.g. once a day.

There, you've got a docs system that is:

- Dev friendly, because they can write docs from their IDEs

- Centralized

- Restricted to whoever has access to Jenkins. So if you put Jenkins behind a VPN, it'll be accessible only there.

I'm sure you can tweak it to give access to some folks to only some pages, though I haven't done that.
Follow up question: can you recommend a no-logs, anonymous VPN?
Yes, that is basically what I mean. If you are going to use a very large amount of stack space you should consider alternatively allocating something on the heap and freeing it afterwards.

Yes, if most of your program is using roughly the same amout of stack space then it is great. However I think if you are worried about running out then you are likely using far more than the average part of your program.

So yes, it isn't intrinsically bad, but context important to evaluate the decision.
I concur. This change cut my Twitter usage from ~5-10 minutes per day to roughly 0 minutes per day.

There have been conspiracies put forth about covid, but with various other vaccine mandates already in existence I don't know how it would ever have made sense to call it a conspiracy that we'd add one more. Nothing's changed, qualitatively.

What's different here is that prior vaccine mandates were never weaponized into a mainstream culture war, so before this they weren't controversial to most and we rarely thought of them.

Given that culture war hesitancy over this vaccine was expected early on, I think it was predictable that employers and venues would need to require it in order for it to reach enough of the population to be effective.

Electrify America is up to 600+ stations and covers much of the same key interstates as the Tesla network did when it was considered "good enough" for cross-country driving: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/

With the massive infusions of cash from VW's "dieselgate" EPA settlement, Electrify America has been moving very quickly, and it should feel useful today. Electrify America is still way more complicated than Tesla's network (in part because it still supports both CCS for everything new and ChaDeMo mostly in the US just for old Nissan Leafs) and still has a lot of room to grow, but as a network it is still very usable today not just years from now.

From my experience, backend is the ”small world” where interfaces are known and solutions relatively stable.

Frontend, on the other hand, requires all the same programming skill, but is basically a set of different black boxes that kinda sorta implement the same interfaces in an almost compatible manner, with new ones added regularly and others deprecated, and every 12-36 months a completely new paradigm arrives.

If there were robots capable of reliably doing that you’d see them on the market already. Picking things up, identifying them and applying the right force and such isn’t an easy problem.

By the way there are already self cleaning cat litter trays and they’re absolutely awful and prone to poop-related bugs. I’m not sure any robot could reliably react to the developing situation of having a wet turd on the litter scooper.
I suppose in the sense that Gabby Pettito was moderated off the internet, Ross Ulbricht was moderated off of the internet and into a cage permanently for the heinous crime of facilitating voluntarily peaceful trade. Tor marketplaces were definitely not gone for years, the same content just moved under new banners. You can literally find the same content and more on WHM today as you did under Ulbricht's banner before he was kidnapped by government thugs.

> [Javascript is] the entirety of Chromium, with its JS VM, and a relatively high memory and storage footprint.

You seem to confuse javascript with an Electron app. Electron apps are web apps, packaged with an entire Chromium build. Each Electron app runs in its own Chromium wrapper. So yes, if you run 5 Electron apps, memory usage will be high.

Javascript is just a programming language. Web apps run in 'the' browser. Any browser. So the same instance of the browser can run multiple web apps without adding the footprint of an entire new browser instance.
I've lost a fair amount of weight over the last year and what I've noticed is that a lot of it comes down to finding the details that work for you.

There's so many gotcha-holes that it's nearly impossible to get them all and still have a usable browser. Security updates are also going to keep you updating, and those introduce new unique identity problems.

Is there any way to be fully be anonymous online? No. The best you could do is Tor on a privacy focused operating system on a disposable computer on public wifi, but there are still loose ways to track that activity.

Or just cameras and transaction logs for buying wifi time or a coffee at that place. If you opt to not buy coffee, employees might remember you as the freeloader. If you pay in cash, you might be that only person who uses cash.

Obscurity is the best we can do right now. A virtual setup like docker using a typical setup with a VPN is the current most reasonable solution we have.

However, things like your grammar and sentence structure or even going to your profile instead of the home page before starting to browse are always going to be weak points unless you write a bunch of random "AI" to counteract that.

But then you're just the weird user doing a lot of random "AI"-like things.
Not the author of the parent comment, however my experience has been similar. My take is that it depends heavily on the field. If you're in biosciences, then yes, absolutely (I can't speak to other fields). You won't get very far with just a BS degree - mostly technician positions. With a MS you can get better roles but they will still largely be more technical, often with little autonomy until multiple years of work experience have been gained. PhDs are often more highly compensated that non-PhDs and those with PhDs can progress though the career ranks more quickly and ultimately rise higher within the timespan of a career. After completing your PhD sticking around to do a post-doc or two is not advised, as work experience may be much more valuable than additional academic experience at that point (personal view). I would stress, though, that one really must want the experience of completing a PhD in order to consider doing one - the time, stress, and opportunity costs are non-negligible. Also, please take all this with a grain of salt, as generalizations as broad as those I've described are always easily proven wrong.
