>>> like a kind of statistical fetish

Live stats at web scale is a really fun problem to have. Un-optimized, using public cloud infra, round-trip latency for collecting data, calculating statistics, and render/viz to the user, it's shockingly slow! For crowd training Art GANs, latency probably doesn't matter, but seeing the live stats displayed is still magical to me. Imagine how fun ArtVote would be just using the public collection of images from MoMA, seeing the crowd evaluate a new work live ;)
A good percentage of us work in systemically problematic industries. I think most would avoid a true villainous company, maybe something like a Blackwater (private armed mercenaries that were sent to places like Iraq/Afghanistan).

Systemically problematic industries are just too large and would require societal changes to rehabilitate them. You can’t really hold it against anyone for working there because we are all part of the machine. We all make it possible.

It might even be good to have so many in these systems, so that we all have some insight into the systemic issues and the amorality of it all.
For those not too familiar with cricket - matches can go on for days and a summary of the score can be a couple of numbers.

Browsing the score might mean a glance at those numbers every fifteen minutes or so - probably about the same impact on productivity as checking the time.
I'm not sure that should be a problem so long as they are returned. I don't know the exact turn-around times for rental car companies but you can charge a Model 3 to full in 5 hours or so with a 240.

Though I think another issue could be wear and tear on the battery as you're not supposed to charge to full - can rental companies software lock the charge rate? Not yet as far as I know.
Long ago I had a college job doing data entry for a tiny long-distance carrier. We had hourly quotas, etc. and had to retype the information into several different backend systems. One day I dug up a manual and discovered that there were a copy/paste commands available on the terminal we were using. I could get through my quota in 40 minutes. I showed this to my supervisor who told me “we’re paying you to type not to play around on computers”. For the rest of the summer I took a nice long coffee break every hour.
There are certainly some interesting conspiracies that one would imagine should not register and validate in a rational mind. It might be fun to create one large table of conspiracies that evolves with time to see which ones turned out to have what percentage of truth and which ones started off as jokes or memes on 4chan. A wiki of sorts but without the weaknesses of wikipedia. The wiki should include which theories were tainted by activists trying to squelch conversations and list those that tainted the theories as well as those that proved or disproved a theory and with ranking on confidence, circumstantial evidence, anecdotal data and imperical evidence. A peer-reviewed style database like PubMed for theories but with more scrutiny and higher quality peer reviews than PubMed. Now, how to host this in a way that governments or even more powerful entities like 4chan can't influence or destroy it?

Last year I became aware of how much difficulty I have processing speech. I think this is something I have always had. I could never understand lyrics in music, have trouble following discussions in meetings, and struggle understanding people with accents. I wonder if I have learned to just respond instinctively to “vibes” instead of actually properly processing the content of what is being said.

I suspect it is largely anxiety related. I’ve had moments where lyrics are crystal clear, after smoking weed, so I don’t think it is a hearing thing.

> Developing an API may also be a waste of time when your client-side application is the sole consumer of the server API

i think this is assuming you'd never need a native (ios, android) client no?
That is quite harsh. While no credible consumer goods requiring complex manufacture or design come from the former USSR area (except of Baltics which retained pre-soviet spirit) to this day, the industrial complex managed to create quit a lot of ... industrial

Biking is horribly efficient, I think.

I used to overstate my commuting, as well, but when I compare it to running, you need to at least double the duration for equivalency. Both in numbers and feelz. And you really need to push it (lol) to get your heart working. Not a complete replacement for exercise, otherwise. Luckily, I start hunting on a bike naturally, but lots of people seem to not even break a sweat, or really enjoy sitting on their saddle. Exhaust pollution wise, bike commuting seems to be still beneficial, but it’s definitely putting a counterweight in the bowl, too. Tho, that’s supposed to get better, with fewer (my city started converting whole car lanes into bike lanes <3 ) and electric cars.

Anyway, those children grow up riding bikes will likely continue as adults where getting any exercise is better than nothing. And if you’re used to taking your bike everywhere, you may easily make 20-50km/d, which is something. Biking can be more than a mode of transportation. I often get overwhelmingly happy flowing through the city with a breeze on my skin and people in the same room. I wish that bliss onto everyone.
Yes, there were computer builders all over eastern europe, then it was decided cybernetics is "bourgeois pseudoscience" and most of them emigrated. They usually ended up in California.
I just spent a Saturday about two weeks ago porting my neovim config from vimscript to lua and from CoC to the native LSP client. As it stands right now, the trade offs are many:

- there is no straight forward way to add ESLint, had to end up using a project that takes command line input and transforms it into LSP - works great but feels kind of hacky. Setting up ESLint via CoC is of course a single command.

- if you use CSS-in-JS there is no option for you right now in terms of syntax highlighting and completion. This was also a single command to setup in CoC.

- just how much harder it is to setup stuff in general. CoC is a breeze to setup.

However, it is hard for me to overstate how much performance I got out of the switch. Everything feels super ultra snappy now, the same feel as vanilla neovim with zero plugins. It has been so worth it for me. I expect most of the issues that native LSP has to go away as the ecosystem matures a bit. Right now I'm still not sure I'd recommend the switch.
Sounds like they need some hierarchy instead of anarchy.

I'm not sure if anyone is trying to hide vaccine side effects, but here are few things I'm convinced of:

1. Post vaccine long term side effects are severely under reported. I don't know by how much, though.

2. Doctors generally don't take patients seriously who claim they have some issues from vaccines. These rarely get reported.

I also think that covid is terrible and likely has higher chance of causing long term damage, and this is why I have elected to stay home. I'm staying home until there's more awareness of both, long covid, and vaccine complications and more info about treating either of those.

There's another solo youtube traveler with nearly the same vibe. In both cases I think part of the issue is that they are too connected to the camera and not to the people around them, so they just seem disinterested.

It bums me out because I'm looking at doing quite a bit of solo traveling in the next few years and would like to capture some of it for my family and friends, but if I come across anyway like this it's going to be a major fail. I posted some from a recent trip and didn't appear or say a word in any of the videos and it was received reasonably well, but the audience isn't exactly like to say 'bro stop being a douche' lol.
Hybrids are flying off dealer lots...and have been for the past few years (at least the ~40mpg crossovers have been). The limiting factor right now is parts (and was pre-pandemic too, just moreso now). As car rental companies tend to take the less desirable cars/configurations, they're just not getting any because manufacturers can sell them for more to the general population.

Non-Tesla (i.e., cheaper) EVs have been in the same boat - the ones that people want just flat out haven't been available in most locations.

Out of the box Rust doesn't provide any way to allocate heap memory, so, you can't run out if it.

Your ordinary userspace apps use std (the standard library) which relies on the alloc crate, and that provides heap allocation which indeed panics if the allocation fails. Because it correctly guesses that your "clever" strategy to handle allocation failure actually isn't and will just triple fault anyway so it should cut to the chase.

The kernel obviously doesn't have std, and Rust for Linux implements its own alloc crate.

Linus' requirement that you can fail memory allocation just means all the calls in alloc that can actually allocate memory now return Result to indicate whether the allocation was successful. This isn't how you'd do things in userspace, but, this isn't userspace so fine.

That’s why you stream it to only one conference room (or a small number). By making it explicitly approved for those rooms, you can limit the people who are doing it more clandestinely. Then you only take the bandwidth hit for a smaller number of streams.

Even if you don’t want to encourage it, the better managers would accept that it’s going to happen and then try to minimize the impact.

Those articles are about the Windows Taskbar, not the menu I was talking about. This is what I was trying to clarify in my earlier question, when I asked "Do you mean the File/Edit/View menu bar, or the Dock?"

You insisted at the time that you meant the MENU bar, not the Dock, but now it appears that was incorrect.

This got a little long, but the tl;dr here is that you are confused on terms, and that the thing you say can't be moved on the Mac absolutely can be, and always could be.

--

One of the ways in which Win and MacOS are different is that, in MacOS, the File/Edit/View menu is always across the top of the screen, not bound to a specific window. I'm typing this in Firefox. I have several Firefox windows open, but NONE of them have a File menu. The menus for Firefox are across the top of my monitor.

In Windows, by contast, this menu is part of each window spawned by a given application. Most modern Windows programs use the Ribbon style menu, but some older or less-updated tools (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio) use the old-style. If I were doing this post on Firefox on Windows, each of my Firefox windows would have its own File/Edit/View menu.

In both Mac and Windows, this menu is always in this known position -- ie, on a Mac, it's across the top of the screen; on Windows, it's part of the top of each app window. It cannot be moved (to the best of my knowledge).

What YOU are talking about (and what those articles are talking about) is called the Taskbar in Windows. The analogous item in MacOS is the Dock. In both systems, the default location is the bottom of the screen, and in both systems it is possible to change this.

-> In Windows, the Taskbar can be placed on the bottom (default), either side, or across the top of the screen.

-> In MacOS, the Dock can be placed on either side or the bottom; you can't put it on the top of the screen because it would interfere with the aforementioned File/Edit/View menu.

--> In NEITHER OS is it possible to reposition the File/Edit/View menu.

Of course not, I didn't mean to imply that.

> if the ring itself touches [the car frame]

That's what I meant.

> 12V is too low to pass your skin with a significant current

Now of course the human body has a complex impedance, with cell membranes acting as capacitors: higher frequencies let more current flow. And that also depends on how much skin there is (single finger vs arm to foot), if it is wet, etc. I remember trying a (discharged) 9 V battery on my tongue as a kid... that was literally quite a shock, even with continuous current.

In the end, I wouldn't bet that an electrocution is impossible using a mere 12V of electric potential.
