Actually, there is plenty of lightning out there in that part of the country.

Years ago in a chapter of my life that has since been completed, I worked in the Four Corners area on a seismic crew. Our work took us from the depths of the canyons to the tops of the mesas and up the slopes of the mountains. It is truly some of the most beautiful country in the USA.

It was a pretty normal summer day to be able to watch the clouds form over the isolated mountains. Then, in early afternoon they would break free of the mountain's grasp and go scooting across the countryside wetting the sunflower and bean crops on the mesas and kicking off small flash floods in the lower canyon creeks. I assure you that there was plenty of lightning with these isolated storms and their formation always caused us to pause our work so that we could ascertain which direction they would likely go.

We carried with us large quantities of dynamite and many blasting caps. Personally, I started each day with a 75# (34 kg) backpack loaded with paper-rolled sticks of dynamite like you see in old cartoons and 150 caps with a 10 foot long lead (~3m). By the end of a good day all of that would be loaded into shotholes we had drilled, each hole with 1/2# (.23 kg) of dynamite and a single cap.

Safety training told us to be sure all the caps were shunted since all it took to detonate the cap was 1/2V of electricity. On a very dry day, static electricity could accidentally pop the cap, as the story went.

We all had a weather eye out for any flashes, so to speak, and if anyone saw anything we sought two things - separation from the backpacks, and cover from the storm. When you're on a mesa, the slope of the mountain, or out on the flat in the bottom of the canyon the terrain limits your movement and sometimes there simply is no opportunity to put space between you and the explosives in your pack. You just have to get down low and hope for the best.

A lot of good times out there. I have photos I took of our crew taking cover under one of our vehicles during a bad storm. I thought it was funny at the time because the powder box on the buggy had a half ton of dynamite and hundreds of caps in it. I had placed myself in the rain down-slope though I still had my pack. I was just hoping for the best and, as usual, that's what we got that day. A great drenching, a scare from the proximity of the lightning, and a lot of work done under much cooler conditions after the storm passed. The clarity of the sky was remarkable, as if it had been scrubbed of all the dust and everything old was new again.

There's plenty of lightning out there on and around the Navajo, White Mountain Ute, and Hopi Reservations and all across the country surrounding them. I've worked on and driven through that part of the world many times.

Also, if I remember correctly, every note in the major scale is a 3/2,2/3 ratio from a note in the lower or higher octave following the standard order of key signatures as you jump across consecutive octaves, which, I assume, is how they arrived at that standard order.
As someone who browses the internet by default without any JavaScript enabled, I also find it jarring when websites do this.

I understand that some webapps absolutely need JavaScript to function, but I wish it was handled with a bit more tact than a completely blank page displaying a single sentence asking me to enable it. I'm not calling out op, twitter and quora do this too.
There's a stat I read many years ago (so it would be different today) that the state with the highest percentage of obesity a few decades ago had kept this percentage, it would nowadays be the lowest percentage...
> I think once women are pregnant they go into managed care and babies are immediately taken at birth into academies (with no knowledge of parents) until adulthood.

In other words, you've just reinvented Plato's Republic. Historically, the closest things to this have been societies like the Puritans or Geneva under John Calvin, or in the 20th century, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. How well did those experiments in "managed care" work out?

The closest thing to it in today's world is probably China or North Korea. If you think that's a good idea, you're welcome to go live in one of those countries.

> Unfortunately short of that we’re likely to never have real equality.

We won't have "real equality" even with such a draconian plan, because the inconvenient truth is that every human being is a unique individual. There is no such thing as "real equality" because human beings are all different. You can't pigeonhole human beings into boxes. You can't "manage" their care so they fit into whatever preconceived utopian fantasy you happen to have. Human beings are free individuals and we all have to figure out for ourselves how best to use whatever we have been given. And since we all get given different things, we are going to end up wanting different things, needing different things, and making different choices. No central planner can possibly comprehend all that. And every time it has been tried, it has ended up costing a lot of lives and a lot of misery even for those who managed not to be killed outright.
I think it's mostly just that 5ths give you a good balance between ergonomics and range, and 5ths are relatively easy to tune by ear.

Something interesting about violin tuning: if you tune by ear, you get a 3:2 ratio between the frequency of adjacent strings. If we're in the key of G, we can call the G string 1/1 in just intonation notation. The next string is D, or 3/2. Then we have A at 9/4. That's an octave and a just major second. The interesting thing is that when you get to E, it's 27/8. It's an octave and a major sixth, sort of. If we ignore the octave, it becomes 27/16 which is close to the more commonly used just major 6th which is 5/3.

If a violin is tuned to 12-tone equal temperament then the distinction is moot. But in a just tuning, that open E may well be a wrong note depending on what you're playing.

All this music theory stuff is not the answer. The answer is because the typical male hand can play the fourth with the pinky finger. So tuning in fifths gives the instrument the most range.

Good luck. ..I guess
I can understand the failure to build a critical mass of contributors, but can you share some examples of where your work was duplicated instead of built upon?

I’ve read through some of your async work in the past and from an initial glance, it seemed like you had the right idea by wrapping existing event libs and exposing familiar event loop idioms. At the very least, it seemed uncontroversial so I’m interested to see why others would choose not to build upon it.
You don't. "Compounding advantage" is a fact of life. Historically, the societies that have dealt with this unpleasant fact of life the best have been those that had some concept of "noblesse oblige"--if you are one of the fortunate ones with "compounding advantage" on your side, you have an obligation to use those gifts to help others less fortunate than you. But trying to erase the advantage doesn't work; every time it has been tried, it has just ended up causing even more misery (and in many cases lots of deaths).
Ah chemistry class.

Our teacher would do a simple demonstration every year with a small piece of sodium and water. The plan was to have the small piece of sodium fizz around in the bell jar of water. He kept pulling off pieces of sodium that were too small, and they just went “pfft”. After the 5th failed attempt, he was mad and pulled off a large chunk, and he tossed it in the water. It didn’t dance around, it went <BOOM>, big <BOOM>, two feet from the students in the front row. I was 12 feet away and got wet and was hit with glass. He barely kept his job. It was awesome!

Yes, I make site-specific browsers for web apps because then you can use all the OS affordances for managing apps and windows!

You can hide all windows for only one web app with ⌘-H (like a normal app). You can flip between the windows of only that web app with ⌘-` (like a normal app).

You can use any of the myriad launching tools like LuanchBar/Raycast/Spotlight to quickly launch a web app (like a normal app) and it will re-open with the last-used window positions (like a normal app).

You can press Ctrl-↓ to make the OS show thumbnails of all the windows of only that web app (like a normal app).

Finally, you can quit the web app and close all its windows with ⌘-Q (like a normal app).

Plus some I am forgetting.

Web apps are pretty shit compared to native apps, because they literally throw away all the features the OS provides for managing apps.

For any app like YouTube, Shortcut, Audible, Amazon, etc I would 100% always prefer a native app over a web app, even if it had no additional features other than being a native app.
> Not for religious reasons but to me it seems more natural to not be cremated.

I think the culture you were raised in will influence your attitude toward cremation. I would personally prefer to be cremated, mainly because I would feel guilty if my corpse took up a lot of space, rather than my compacted ashes being disposed of elsewhere.

After performing the death rituals for my mother last year, I felt at peace when I spread her ashes in the ocean. Had I buried her, I am unsure of how I would have felt.
I agree with everything except for this part:

> Enjoy the new luxury of showing up late on Monday, leaving early on Friday,

Was part of an acquisition where the acquired founder did exactly this: Showed up late every morning, disappeared early every afternoon. Forced everyone else to worked around his schedule, which made things unnecessarily difficult for everyone else. Also got our department branded as lazy and uncooperative, even though the rest of us were putting in the hours.

Be professional. Don't do anything out of the ordinary that makes life difficult for people around you. Not everyone has the luxury of a giant bank account to fall back on if this job doesn't work out.

Given the stunning financial asset price appreciation over the last decade and widespread confidence that traditional portfolio returns will continue, I'm surprised that the wave of retirement is not bigger than indicated by the numbers cited in this article.

I remember telling people in late 1999 that these stock prices can't be long-lived because we can't all retire rich.
Even worse, they sometimes try really hard to be indistingushable.

I recently got a mail from an insurance company that they were upgrading the login method (red flag). The domain in the link contained wasn't the main domain but a separate customer service domain (red flag 2).

And the main login didn't work as expected before clicking the link in the mail (at least that redirected to the main domain).

It really can't get much worse.

IBM and Microsoft cater to enterprises. Enterprises whose entrenched positions are challenged by decentralized systems. Centralizing a decentralized system is done either to bootstrap it (optimistic) or embrace, extend, and extinguish it (pessimistic). A corporation alone might not need a blockchain, but has no choice but to participate if that’s where the market is, and a consensus of participants (no pun intended) is who determines that technology (not corporate procurement).

nitpick : posing a threat and making a threat are different things, and I meant to be talking about making a threat, as the thing that seemed borderline as to whether it is considered "violence". I don't think whether someone is making a threat is subjective.

It will happen, it's hard to tell if this version will be the one. It probably will never be a big part of the internet. Depending on how you measure big. Facebook and Netflix style stuff will quantifiably stay large. Even if the hosting is decentralised if Youtube doesn't sign your video you can't post it on Youtube, it's complicated to know how people might use the tech. For years bypassing China's firewall (recently tightened) was easy, but no one did it.

All that still exists. ie. go create a IoT botnet. It's just not longer 100% of the web. No ones forcing you to live that life anymore, so you need to do it if it's truly what you want.

Ironic… they could tell others good HI guidelines, but they couldn’t follow them themselves.
If they release full documentation and a standard (cloneable) full-system design they will be far ahead of Apple and might initiate another PC revolution. I'm already beyond sick of the barely-documented proprietary crap that is the mobile world; seeing that cancer spread to and gradually erode the freedoms of the true general-purpose PC is really sad to see.

Of course if the past is any indication, the reality is probably going to be far from that --- it will be another locked-down mobile device, except with a large screen and a keyboard attached.
I've always been annoyed how searching a few hundred thousand NTFS records for a filename containing some arbitrary text takes a relatively long time - even using specialized tools like FileLocator Pro which I believe directly scan low-level structures like the MFT - while I can do an equivalent search in a SQL database in milliseconds. I wish filesystems like that one had vastly more performant indexing structures for the metadata (without relying on add-on layers that defer indexing and - at least in my experience - tend to break down or be out of date or obfuscate files they think you don't care about - I'm looking at you, Windows Search).
I haven't even been to Mezli yet. But I know for a fact that I'd eat there a lot. Something like chipotle, but middle eastern, healthier and cheaper is the sweet spot!
Being off by an octave is pretty important for melodic lines, which is usually how the violin is used… so while you can translate chords from tuning in fifths to fourths or vice versa, in my experience, you need to relearn to play if you're doing melodies.
Often journalists at several different news organizations have been independently investigating aspects of the same basic story for months, without being aware of each other. They've been trying to cultivate additional sources and verify facts to make a really compelling story. Then when one journalist publishes the rest have to rush to publish as well or end up looking irrelevant. Old news.

There are things that have happened without any obvious proof, but I don't want to take credit for those. I believe that such miracles point to the existence of the great Debugger, who can stop time and poke at variables to make this finite world grow more.

Keep in mind that "invested" could just mean owning a house. Those soared in value too.

In Canada, tons of people complain about how the pandemic is causing everything to soar in price and they wonder why politicians will not do anything and we just had an election where it was mostly an ignored topic.

What the non homeowners miss when they complain that the government's policies priced them out of the market is that for 65% of Canadians, the government's policies make them rich. That is why the politicians are quite happy about surging house values.

If Samsung was in the same league as Apple Silicon we'd see some evidence of it by now. Before Apple released the M1 they were selling similar parts in iPads. We knew these were fast before they stuck them in Macs. But Samsung is the opposite: their flagship mobile processors are terrible. Apple beats them by 50% on single-core performance. If Samsung was about to jump into the game, I would expect some signs of better parts.

This review hinges around not knowing Carlin's argument in his book and implies this is because Carlin has a poorly thought out thesis.

This misses the point of the book which is just discussing the events, the times, and the human-ness of it all. Carlin doesn't state a view on the great-mensch theory because he doesn't have one and isn't arguing one.
