I hate the greasy feeling of sunscreen but I’ve yet to find a non greasy one that survives sweating.

I’ve pretty much given up on sunscreen. I wear at hat that covers my face and neck. And a long sleeve swim shirt when doing out door activities or swimming.
I’m not clear on what the problem is/was here, can someone pls shed some light.

(Ie was the issue that Twitter thought this was just a bad business idea? or was it that Twitter thought this was racist/discriminatory?). If it’s the former I’m not clear on what the big deal is, and why it had to be shutdown so quickly.

It's a good point, and probably explains why only 3.8% of F500 CEOs are on Instagram (just 19 from 500!) - it's quite a personal platform.

However, the flip side is that CEOs are very powerful brands in their own right, and can drive trust and influence for their entire company.

For example, it's now impossible to separate Tesla from Elon Musk's personal brand.

But yeah, the upside is huge but I can also see why so many CEOs avoid it altogether.
Problem is that the "feminist" label is so simplistic as to miss all nuance ala: all that is "good for women" is "feminist".

Is being successful in school good? yes. Is being successful in later life good? yes.

So you cannot consider the "successful school dropout". "risk taking" is the missed nuance, or "it has to get worse before it gets better"/"break a bone to set the leg" etc. Instead you have the only "feminist" path as (cherry-picked populations of) girls doing well in school and successes later in life, even if those don't necessarily/naturally correlate.

If you really wanted to capture that nuance, you need the kind of discussions Jordan Peterson has wrt personality/behavioural traits and their impacts on differences in outcomes; but you can clearly see how much hostility (in the name of feminism) he receives for that.

The funny thing is how he's accused of (sex/gender) essentialism, even if backed by stats/data, despite the advocated feminist alternatives being also full of essentialism (and just-so narratives), just ones seen as more culturally palatable.
In fact you can use XML, but not barebones XML. XML does not contain semantics, which is needed to achieve interoperability. So you should use some more specialized XML, namely, RDF/XML. Which of course will increase complexity to XML. You can use also JSON-LD, which is a more complex JSON bc it adds semantics.

Adding to that, I'm afraid of the world moving away from the PC as a standard. Through a lucky set of circumstances, we were able to enjoy a relatively open and universal compatibility standard of computers for the last several decades.

I'm afraid of the computing world fragmenting again into several walled gardens in the likes of Amiga/Atari of old, nothing being compatible with each other, unable to run code not signed by the manufacturer.

The danger should IMO be obvious, but I watch in terror as my friends happily buy into the M1.

Congrats to the team and I'm very thankful that there are alternatives to GitHub out there. Not that I don't like GitHub (I do) or use GitHub (every day), but lately it seems like they are sherlocking a whole lot of ideas from the OSS "marketplace" into their main product. That kind of irks me.

If GitLab were able to add something like GitHub Actions into their platform I would leave GH in a second.

The easy answer is that reduced energy usage for an individual operation does not mean reduced energy overall with all other things being equal (See Jevon's Paradox).

In practice algorithms don't work in isolation. You may have to do additional pre-processing on your data to get it into this kind of model, offsetting any energy usage that you reduce through the execution of your model. There are any number of small things that aren't taken into account when looking at this portion of an overall solution and you can't equally make statements about carbon usage based on energy usage alone, nor can you make statements about energy usage based on computation requirements alone.

The actual energy usage is not an independently derived factor and unrelated to the work itself. Adding it as a benefit in your paper without the additional work of proving that is marketing fluff. It doesn't belong and actively hurts studies that are focused on energy usage reduction with the explicit intent of reducing carbon footprints.
I think WeWork vs anti-cafés is comparing apples to oranges.

I can't speak for other countries but you definitely can't dip into most (any?) WeWorks or the typical coworking space for a few bucks per hour on the fly.

It looks like the cheapest WeWork on Demand is $29/day, and I have no idea what city that's in. I don't doubt the rate in major US cities is $75-100+/day.
Another issue is size. This is what I see on CentOS:

$ ls -l /bin/bash /bin/dash /bin/mksh
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 964536 Nov 22 2019 /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 113536 Nov 5 2018 /bin/dash
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 296192 Jan 27 2018 /bin/mksh

The Debian Almquist shell has nearly nothing beyond POSIX (I believe that local function variables are the only extension). This is the Ubuntu system shell, and it tolerates no bashisms. Alternate POSIX shell implementations in OCaml (and somewhat ADA) accuse Almquist of not using formal grammars and imply that dash is not a safe implementation.

https://www.irif.fr/_media/rencontres/pps2018/regis-gianas.p...

I would say that mksh implements 80% of bash functionality in much less space, and closely follows ksh88; mksh is also licensed such that Android uses it as /bin/sh.

Apple has switched from bash to zsh. I don't know the motivations for this, but preferences for shells wax and wane. BSD doesn't include bash (in base) more because of license than code quality.

POSIX seems to be all that we can agree on, but I do wish that standard could grow; it's stuck in the '70s.

But the US is a really big market. Something can be a niche everywhere else and still make a ton of sales.

Madden has cumulative sales, according to Wikipedia, of 250 million copies. The FIFA series has cumulative sales of 325 million.

I'm having a hard time finding consistent annuals sales numbers. Random Googling suggests each new FIFA year sells around 24 million, and each new Madden year around 5 or 6 million.

But Wikipedia says Madden was at cumulative 100 million in 2013, which combined with them saying it is 250 million now, gives an average of over 18 million a year.

Maybe the numbers I found on annual sales were only counting sales of whatever was the latest version? In that case, if a significant number of people who buy Madden X do not do so until after Madden X+1 comes out that could explain it. Madden X could sell 6 million to the people who want the latest version, and then another 12 million in subsequent years to people who wait until it is a bargain bin game.

No, this isn't just confusion, this is a real behaviour difference between smartphones and (some) landlines. If someone calls you on a landline, depending on the exchange, hanging up your phone might not be enough to end the call; when you pick up again, you may still be connected to the caller.

It used to be the case that the party who made the call - being the party who is paying for it - was solely responsible for terminating it; then timeouts were introduced; and on many landline exchanges there is still a timeout before the call is actually terminated if the callee hangs up but the caller does not - although these days it is just a few seconds, that may still be long enough that you stay connected to the original caller if you hang up then immediately try to place a call.

Google "called party clear" for gory details.
To add there is also Syncthing for Android TV, makes so much easier transfering files between devices, like to a seedbox.
Not only allow, but forcefully redirect their search input up into the address bar. In my opinion this has been a deliberate and concerted effort by google to get everyone to 'search' instead of go directly to sites and this ux behaviour has been bothering me for a very long time now. I am not at all surprised people are searching for https after all this time.
That being said, there is likely a large number of urls pasted into the search box vs the address bar. (Hardly anyone can tell the difference anymore.)
>prioritising being a cohesive operating system and docs

This is one of the areas where OpenBSD really shines. Their documentation is really good. FreeBSD is also quite good, but I've been consistently impressed with OpenBSD's docs since 2.5.

Linux distros can't reach the same level of quality due to being less cohesive at the base, though they do make up for it with quantity. You can search for most Linux issues and find an answer.

A choke on an engine does not do anything other than control the flow of air to the engine. That's it. That's all it does.

Allowing the URL bar to also act as search or vice versa, the simple act of trying to do the one thing now does something else that you might or might not have intended or been aware of being possible is not the same as a single purpose choke. When that possible thing is sending your data to a 3rd party, then that is just bad.

EdgeDB and EdgeQL are doing something in this direction. SQL with GraphQL for joining solves some problems. Built on top of PSQL.

I think PSQL can only take you so far though, I think we will move to something new eventually.

For most apps you want to watch a query for changes. SQL is a pain for that. If you can get inside the query tree though, you can do some caching and materialization to help. And I want to run my db in my browser too.

They're probably gonna blame the airlines, Boeing and the pilots. Planes don't crash unless damn near every party involved does something wrong. Boeing has a responsibility to not build hard to operate junk. Failing that the airlines have a responsibility to train the pilots on said junk. Failing that the pilots still have a responsibility to to understand how the junk works. They probably will minimize the blame on the pilots since both Boeing and the airlines were pretending that the new plane was the same as the old plane for regulatory compliance reasons and in light of that messaging you can't really expect people to learn about the differences themselves.

What they won't blame at all but probably deserves a mention is a long and expensive type certification process that provided the incentives for all the dominoes on the Boeing and airline side of things to line up the way they did. Nobody at Boeing or the airlines was attempting to achieve this outcome. They were trying to achieve a marginally better 737 within the bounds of the existing regulation.

I also remember reading that many murder cases are sometimes intentionally or mistakenly re-classified as a suicide to close it, because the Japanese police are under a lot of pressure to maintain their high rate of solving cases.

Suicides in Japan perhaps have an additional attraction in that insurance companies have to payout even if the cause of death is suicide.

Couple that with the asian cultural pressure of taking care of one's family, and the cultural factor that suicide on personal failure is linked to honour and glorified in Japanese history, it becomes somewhat understandable why some Japanese individuals may find suicide as a reasonable / attractive option while contemplating how to end their depressive existence.

Clojure for the brave and true shows the exact problem.

Why would it be surprising? Buddhism is a pretty dogmatic religion. Literally the first of the Buddha's eight fold path is Right View, which means "you should believe in rebirth, believe in life after death, believe in karma, etc." He said that the first step is to have the correct dogmatic opinion. He actually said it is the forerunner to the path and by far the most important element.

Once again, the idea that Buddhism would somehow be less dogmatic than other religions is a Western projection onto Buddhism. As far as religions go, Buddhism is pretty dogmatic and prescribes a very specific worldview. The difference is that it actually gives you the tools to verify those things if you wish, at least if you feel up for it.

In an environment where governments and central banks are strongly biased in favor of printing money, I see the possibility of deflation as extremely small.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but keep in mind that the amount of wealth in our economy is much greater than the amount of money; printing cash doesn't necessarily have as big an impact on inflation as one might think, because most value these days is in assets other than cash. You can see this in graphs of e.g. the M2 growth rate vs the inflation rate over time. If the existence of more cash directly caused inflation then those rates would be highly correlated, but instead they are only very loosely correlated and the M2 growth rate has far outstripped inflation in recent decades.

Oil prices are coming out of depression phase that started in around 2015.

I know inflation is on everyone's mind now-a-days, but oil is still very cheap compared to even 10 years go. Prices have a ways to go up just to get back to non-inflation adjusted numbers from 10 years ago. And adjusted for inflation, $80/bbl is about average for the past 20 years.

> it is about the largescale replacement of a system where farmers own their biodiverse seed with a top down monocultural approach that essentially makes farmers franchisees of a massive corporate behemoth and eliminates biodiversity, putting all eggs in one basket.

No one is out there forcing people to switch to GM crops when those seeds become available. Now the business model of large agriculture in the US isn't necessarily the one you would want to import, but GM crops could happily coexist in a country's agricultural mix along side traditional crops. You could probably even tweak some of your traditional seeds domestically to be more pest/drought resistant, give those seeds out, and call it a win.

It could be a really useful tech if people deployed it responsibly.

As Apple only sell about 25% of handsets, as discussed in the article, most people are buying Android handsets.

I know lots of people who have bought a cheap Android handset and used it happily for a few years, myself among them. Most Apple owners I know keep the phones until they die, so don't have hand-me-downs. Obviously it depends greatly on the wealth of people as to how eager they are to upgrade their phone.
This is the stuff I want to know more about, because I understand my analogies/mental model, but I have only crude/naive 'code mental model' of how these kinds of things are implemented

When you say:

When you scan this wavelet across the audio file

Is that literal in code?

Apologies for the naive code analogies -- your comment makes me think of something like an XLA 'reduceWindow' operation (edit: or an OpenCL kernel), where a wavelet-sized 'window' is slid over the input, the difference is computed for each data point -- and then (waves hands: probably something smarter than just a) 'cumulative sum' to see how close/different is is.

(a) is that on the right track/what you meant by 'scanning the wavelet across?

(b) what about transforming the wavelet -- to different scales, etc?

This seems like the kind of thing that's actually like a search problem, heh, where you'd need to slide it over the input many many times, and where it could conceivably benefit from (waves hands) machine learning techniques as a result, to come up with something that does the search for a good wavelet encoding more efficiently based on the input.

> What’s the effect of the focal length?

Not sure what the GP intended, but one possible effect is that increasing the focal length ('zooming in') would change the relative size of two objects (one closer, one further away) depending on their relative distance to the camera (I think the closer object might appear relatively larger).

But if the sun and the horizon are the intended objects, they are both effectively at infinity, from the camera's perspective, so I wouldn't expect focal length to change anything in this case.
IME it depends on your use case.

My counter to that is that if you think you are submitting a URL to go to a website but instead that data is sent to 3rd party which allows them to continue their tracking of everything you do, then this is bad.

Be upfront and clear with your users. If you are sending data to a 3rd party in a way that is not 100% obvious, then it's bad UI leaning towards dark patterns. If you are a UI dev and it never occurred to you a user would do something like this, then that's typical. If after you learn that users are doing something you as the dev finds not normal, then maybe the UI needs to be tweaked. If you design the UI to confuse/trick people, then you are just an asshole.

> Tools that sacrifice the learning curve to make them more powerful and better at managing complexity?

That's the value proposition of Haskell, as far as I can tell. Lisp might be a more powerful language, but it doesn't help so much in managing complexity. Haskell's type system is arguably the best at tackling complex systems, but the learning curve is tough.
