The funny thing is that I remember watching the intro to The Electric Company after seeing it again for the first time in decades (and somehow got myself down into a rabbit hole of watching 3-2-1 Contact intros). Still didn't recall the "Hey You Guys" at the beginning though.

Apparently Sloth was locked alone in a room with a TV, which is where he got the catch phrase from.
I've always assumed that was the case.

It's sort of like the license plate readers some communities have installed at the entryways to their community. Not only does it track people who aren't part of the community, it tracks all the comings and goings of the members, too. Oops.

By far the most likely are the Canadian companies. I really like Terrestrial Energy and Moltex Energy.
Well said. The Guardian has become such a rag, the very last time I took them slightly serious was before that Batley Grammar School story with the teacher who's now in hiding and fearing for his life, where they described those issuing the death threats as peaceful and well-liked members of the community whose beliefs should be respected.
I found this on page 5 rather than 11.
Open source is just an ideal so the question is just can we trust M$ with software in general. I think the answer is obvious.
Too bad all their products are limited to 1080p displays, even the 14" one that you can order with 64 (!) GB RAM. For me it's an immediate deal-breaker.
So first you assume it is a FB group, and when you get called out on it with the Forbes article, the piece is bullshit.

You sure do need a lot of characters though.
But if everybody did that, Apple would be bankrupt because nobody was buying their products ;)
Well you can only physically move an object so efficiently.

Unless everything we know about physics is wrong - you'll never be able to move an object w/o any energy. For that reason - it's hard to imagine a world with 7Bn people flying around at mach-2.

Our productivity gains are likely on an S-curve. It's hard to say where we are in the curve.

It's an easy read and the reads a bit like a technology-focused biography, not a "how to."
Attesting to facts requires more than identity. There are billions of nobodies with identities whom I don't trust to attest to anything.

Verifiable events can be attested to (like the availability of testing) with trustworthy data, like from a reliable reporter or the test providers or some reliable surveillance mechanisms. Using a identity as a proxy for accountability, in furtherance of reputation management -- as the social media web largely treats all this -- is an error.

People aren't reliable just because we know they're people, as Facebook-provided comments on third-party sites demonstrate.
There's also the much stronger Hylland's theorem, which shows that any cardinal system of voting, one where votes also show how much they prefer one candidate to another, must either encourage strategic voting, or be a randomized dictatorship.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24064783_Strategy-p...

"This paper analyses strategy-proof mechanisms or decision schemes which map profiles of cardinal utility functions to lotteries over a finite set of outcomes. We provide a new proof of Hylland’s theorem which shows that the only strategy-proof cardinal decision scheme satisfying a weak unanimity property is the random dictatorship. Our proof technique assumes a framework where individuals can discern utility differences only if the difference is at least some fixed number which we call the grid size. We also prove a limit random dictatorship result which shows that any sequence of strategy-proof and unanimous decision schemes defined on a sequence of decreasing grid sizes approaching zero must converge to a random dictatorship."
more people are probably hit by the list managing mess, but the one that got me recently was a blue line of some sort. Some margin or page break or something. My attorney asked if I could help him remove the blue line from the middle of the page he was typing out on a contract we were working on. For the life of me, I was unable to remove the blue line in <10min of effort. I had to say sorry, talk to your tech guy.

You can go to a new doctor or pharmacy. The consequences for them not having your full first name recorded are between minimal and nonexistant.

To be a US resident, you must be known to the government. To leave, the government will tax a percentage of your wealth. Try to tell the government to pound sand while remaining, and they can bring the full legal weight of their monopoly on force against you.

The difference in scale of harm between what CVS is capable of versus the government means we should have no issue with holding government to a much higher standard, And be proactive in pointing out when it falls short.
My first solution in shell would have been horribly unportable across locales (though perhaps adding LC_ALL=C would fix that):

echo $(($(cal -3|cut -c13-14|grep -cv ' ')-2))

+ cal -3 will print 3 months spanning the current date(default horizontal on most modern cal implementations).

+ Grab characters 13,14 (the Thursday column of the first month).

+ grep to eliminate blank entries

+ There is no English language month+4 digit year that will not have at least 1 character in the Thursday column, and of course the "Th" header is also there, so subtract 2 from the result

well I mean generally far right terrorism isn't described or charged as terrorism is it? So it seems unlikely that they would track a white kid in case they turned in to a far right terrorist, because the narrative is that's not a problem.

Incompatible narratives should be resolved in one direction or another.
I suspect that the effort required to succesfully produce viable evidence from a VPN provider such as Mullvad are significantly higher than the effort we see here from ATT, T-mobile, Sprint, and Verizon.
At one company I was asked to make demos of things that didn’t work and never would. I listened to the ceo lie to the faces of law enforcement and gov bigwig potential customers as they paraded themselves around the room behind us, watching the tech geniuses work their magic. I witnessed junior employees get screamed at routinely, more or less for being junior.

The company before that overrode all engineering complaints and implemented call to cancel because it made money. My boss had to do it himself.

Both companies competed in a way not unlike a knife fight, meaning throw ethics out the window and pull every lever you can think of. Both had very few happy customers, and rolled every penny into ads and cloud spend, operating at a sickening loss despite locking b2b customers into large monthly contracts.

This is my experience in the industry. The company before that didn’t even pay me and jerked me around about options that weren’t worth anything anyway.

Your response seems quite uncharitable. I mentioned getting paid on both sides, so yes it’s important. I would like to retire some day and live in modest comfort until then. I have young children and happily live in the sf bay.

I said nothing about cool toys. I like that I get to work on a passion project that will likely be open source some day. I like that my customers are engineers and that they chat with me directly.

Generally speaking, if a company isn’t doing every legal (and possibly illegal but unlikely to be enforced) thing to gain competitive advantage, it will be out competed. It is the responsibility of the government to keep the laws up to date.

Companies are not good. They can sometimes be owned by people who are willing to sacrifice profits for warm fuzzy feelings, but that’s an unstable position that will be corrected when ownership changes.

I feel secure knowing I work for a company that turns a large profit and has already pulled all the levers available to them to make more. Less nasty surprises that way.

Why not simply... create as much value?

Equal skills, equal pay.
Anonymity also makes it cheap and easy to retaliate against speakers who say unpopular things---those who would retaliate face no consequences for such retaliation, and the ease of creating anonymous accounts amplifies the their volume.

In practice, anonymity seems to produce a race to the bottom rather than a search for local maxima.

As someone who worked hospitality for much of their 20s, it's the worse. High-end banquet catering pays decent but is rife with sexual harassment. Working in a more casual environment tends to involve a great deal of disrespect. The whole thing runs on being able to treat people like shit. There were two places I didn't feel treated like shit, but coincidentally these were the places where there were women in management, one of these was the notorious Montage in Portland, which I'm sure a number of people on this board have been to drunk at some point as its one of the few places you can get something to decent to eat after 2AM there. Ridiculous customer base, very humane managers.
We didn't have to trick anyone for this piece - all dialogue with the school was conducted through a fact checker hired by the publication. I didn't talk to Austen at all.

That said, I definitely did trick him a little bit last year for that first interview. I'll own that. It was worth it.

I'm unsure what the conflict of interest would be - but I no longer run CoderPad nor own any equity in it.
Smartphones are an example of this, I'd say.

Low/No code usually allows you to do some things, but not everything... IMO.

I think healthcare in the US is riddled with ways to "accidentally"* spend the entire accumulation of your wealth, leaving absolutely nothing to the next generation.

Long term care is needed by a lot of folks over the age of 65 (~70% of adults age 65 will require at least partial long term care).

Even "reasonably cheap" care (in my experience, roughly the same quality as living in a college dorm, with a roommate and a meal plan) can easily run 10k/month - or 120k a year.

Of those needing long term care (roughly half of all folks): Men will need that care for an average of ~2 years, women nearly 4 years. 20% will need that care for 5 years or longer.

I watched my parents spend all of their inheritance covering long term care costs for their parents (Alzheimers is a bitch). Once the inheritance was gone, they worked longer than they would have preferred to continue covering those costs (my mother only retired this year when my grandmother died of covid - as horrendous as it sounds, it was almost a blessing).

My personal take is that "single family homes" and "private healthcare" are a literal fucking disaster for long term wealth inequality. That policy combination takes a lot of middle class families and leaves them poor.

* - I personally don't think it's an accident at all, I think it's very, very intentional.

The photos were too flattering from the early days of photography, just as painted portraits were before that. Remember the archival daguerreotypes of people from centuries past, carefully posed, lit, and retouched? Sure, those were the studio photos of often wealthier people. But that was already setting the trend of creating an embellished likeness to span over times.

The mass photography kind of broke that studio access barrier, but not the flattering barrier. So for some time the photos were more "documentary". Meanwhile it also set that wastefulness trend partly due to inexperience, partly due to cheap or complex hardware, partly due to just plain old consumerism (double sets of auto-cropped 3x5 for the price of one set etc). Still, that desire for creating the flatering images never ceased, and for the important events a pro photographer would be budgeted.

Finally, with an advent of digital and esp. smartphone photography the access to flattering likeness has been fully democratized. Curiously, the increased wastefulness of digital photos also devalued the importance of the personal images. Who can sit through gigabytes of me-here-me-there pics? Prints too, their retrospective importance is lost to reminded glances at the past you which are offered by social networks apps.

I guess, the last barrier left to break in this is the critical eye that chooses from tons of virtual images only those which truly worth to materialize in prints for spanning over the times AND weave them into a life-story worth someone elses attention. How much time will one have in the future to perceive the pictorial life of one's grand-grand-pa?

Of course, it will still be flattering. I'm sure there're already apps for that.
Ballistics simulations could be a big one. More technical literature on how to design things like machine guns and complex operating systems would be helpful also, I think the most comprehensive I've read on the subject is Chinn's The Machine Gun but it's pretty old these days and doesn't cover some new stuff. 3D-printed and homemade gun scene is big and getting bigger and that's def got overlap with tech. Especially since it tends to get booted from mainstream platform and has mostly moved to stuff like LBRY and Rocket chat, helping to keep it up in the face of gun-grabber censorship would be good. Or using tech to expand the reach of gun-rights activism and make it easier to design, modify and print 3d-printed guns. Tons of ways if you want to get involved.
I recall my brother and I using the Electric Company formula to curse openly--until my mother caught on.
Remember the silhouettes that would face each other and one would say part of a word and the other would complete it. My brother and I would sit facing each other and he would say, "Sh.." and I would say, "it". Chased out of the house to play outside.
Yeah whatever, I'll believe it when I see it. I remember when Hyperloops, tunnel motorways, and commercial electric planes were being promised with a deadline of 3+ years ago.

I started using linux at 0.95, perhaps a bit before. Linus managed a few releases while I ferried floppies. I think I finally wiped my DOS partition and stopped dualbooting at 0.95c.

At that time there were alternatives around for every piece of gnu software that I can remember. Using byacc if rms hadn't, uh, released bison would not have been a great loss. But there was no alternative to Linus himself. He made a great difference.

I see. Well that changes things completely!

I assumed that the redactions were not in the original, and that the translators were avoiding complexity by presenting the English-speaking audience with a digstible form.

I guess I underestimated the translators, or the reading public. Thanks for the correction.

PS: I did not mean that Dostoevsky intended excultural readers to feel unfamiliar, but that excultural readers should expect (and maybe prefer) a certain amount of unfamiliarity in foreign works. I thought the translators were insulating their readers from it, which felt inauthentic.

I'm even more bothered by the idea of the translators "filling in the blanks" that were intentionally placed by the author. Curious that both translators who did so, used roughly the same names for each -- perhaps they are the real names that we know the author was referencing? Still, that's a bit presumptuous, I think.

> Yet, Writer simply works.

Except that today i literally ran into the problem of Writer crashing whenever an image in the page was resized. There was a table that was spanning multiple pages and my dad was attempting to add pictures to it, along with small text comments below each picture. And, without fail, that particular document crashed whenever you'd use the drag tool to attempt to resize the picture, so that instead of overflowing into a new page, it'd fit within the current one.

Now, i didn't have the time to debug further (Windows 10, Writer 7), but one cannot say that Writer is bulletproof either, even if it's perhaps one of the very few office suites out there that are probably worthy of most people's time and present a usable alternative to the proprietary .docx and other file formats.

Honestly, at this point i'm convinced that Writer is okay for when you absolutely need a more advanced text processor, but for every other sort of note, shorter pieces of writing etc., Markdown is more than enough. Now i mostly just reach for Visual Studio Code, Notepad++ or even just nano when i want to take notes, write some fiction or anything of the sort.

Plus, i can currently combine all of the notes from my driver's ed by simply concatenating the .md files, as well as searching becomes infinitely more easy when compared to binary file formats and such.

Edit: Also, if we're talking about annoying cases of LibreOffice breaking, here's an example of references (bibliography) failing to work when i had to hand in my Master's thesis: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/libreoffice... (the tone expresses my frustration at that time)

I agree but would suggest you apply further rigor. There are bootcamps that are performing well. Bootcamps should be compared to other bootcamps.
I was following a pattern similar to react-table, where I'm destructuring a function off of a previous hook and passing it to another hook as a callback. This allows the 2nd hook to update state in the first, which causes it to infinite loop if the function isn't wrapped. I think this pattern is more complicated than it sounds, but really helps to remove business logic from a component
> Markdown is designed to be simple and minimalist.

Fair enough.

> It works well for the specific set of things it is designed to do, but once you need anything else - images,

It's never been particularly hard for me to add images in markdown when rendering with Pandoc. It's fairly easy to add images and adjust their size and whatnot, not 100% what you're referring to.

> headers/footers,

Yeah, I'll give you that one, you gotta muck with the preamble YAML in pandoc to get headers, and that's some irritating LaTeX.

> Color

Also fair, not sure it's possible to have color in Markdown->PDF with Pandoc.

> page numbers,

Page numbers are output by default in Pandoc with Markdown. You can also add an optional Table of Contents if needed. Not sure where that rumor started.

What plugin specifically?
It's niche, but I really think F# is the best language to learn first. Not all of F#, but the basics of let, records, tuples, recursion... All that's required is FSI (the interactive interpreter). You can even fetch dependencies from Nuget inside a script, so there's less setup than Node or Python.

Elm would probably work too.
My business is very small and there are only 5 of us writing code. I just screen share the AWS bill periodically and we make sure that things aren't insane.

We will be switching over to our own hardware in data centers towards the middle of next year. At that point, the whole team will need to be more aware of our constraints in terms of access to hardware.
The opposite is a good idea too, upload your locations to Hertz and they could pre-load GPS on the Tesla with where you're going as saved locations, contacts, etc. and then wipe them when you return the car.
In principle, by the letter and spirit of the law (bad as it is in this case), sure. In practice, I very much doubt anyone would dare arrest someone with Sundar Pichai's money and social standing for anything less than murder or insider trading basically.
That, or they don't give devices IPv4 addresses at all and run 464XLAT - according to Wikipedia, quite a few telcos do it that way.
