This is an example of why analogies and metaphors make clear thinking difficult. They're easy to think up - anyone can find some abstract similarity between X and absurd thing Y - but there is no substance there since the two things being compared are actually very different beyond that abstraction.

Assange could go back to running WikiLeaks and would probably run it better now. What you need to run WikiLeaks is the trust of sources, and all of the attention that has been given to Assange can only help.

Snowden would also be able to repeat his acts, because you can pass clearance if you have no criminal record, and he's never been tried.

(The second one is a joke, the first is not.)
It would require a system other than one designed around how the market clears.
One piece of context that people might not realize: the student housing stock around UCSB is extremely limited. I've heard stories about students living in Ventura (40 minutes away by car), some students (who presumably are guaranteed housing) have been placed in hotels[1], and students living out of cars[2]. So this may be the reason that administrators feel pressured to accept this building.

Still taking $200 million dollars from an eccentric billionaire to build his ideal building is a bit of a strange decision to me.

You’re not alone—this is somewhat common. Many programs that are written for multiple platforms benefit from this and I frequently see commit logs noting something similar to “Fixed a few <insert bugs, off by ones, memory allocation issue and whatnot here> that resulted in a crash on OpenBSD.” While great for the program and developer, unfortunately this also has the opposite effect of some less enlightened users reporting that some (poorly written) programs “always crash on OpenBSD.”
Munger also helped fund (though not design, AFAIK) the Munger graduate residences at Stanford (which, AFAIK, weren't hated): https://rde.stanford.edu/studenthousing/munger-graduate-resi...

But a key thing at Stanford and UM is that these were graduate residences, with 1 to 1 bedroom and bath ratio, and full sized bedrooms. Not 8 undergrad pods per bathroom. [0]

I disagree. UCS-2 was the worst decision the Unicode consortium ever made. Han unification is merely a side effect of this bad decision.
My dorm freshman year had the same ratio. Didn’t seem to be a problem.
The problem with X11 drawing commands is that there are a lot of round-trips over the network. Client asks for something, has to wait for the server response before proceeding, then it asks something else, etc. XCB tries to help mitigate problems that Xlib created that were not in the X11 protocol, but it's still highly inefficient.

In practice, running everything locally and then just streaming the framebuffer ends up being faster.

Not that we couldn't come up with a fast-over-the-network protocol. It's just that it's not really here.
My college dorm room (150 sq ft[1]) wasn't much bigger than these rooms, and I had a roommate. Privacy isn't something dorms have had in a long time, and a tiny solo sleeping room actually affords more privacy, I think? My roommate often stayed up late at night playing videogames with voice chat, which sucked in a double. Also a (tiny) single room gives you more privacy for sex, which is another important part of college.

I don't love this building, but I don't think (1) privacy is an actual problem with it, or (2) that the concerns of a sober living facility are necessarily the same as a college dormitory.

> It’s mesmerizing to me how so many think office life is a necessity for data entry work

I think it's more about how cities and communities are set up with commuting in mind.

Like, I live about an hour away from my best mate, which in London may as well be Mars. Bur our offices are literally 5 mins walk from each other, so messaging 'pint?' is SO much easier when in-office.

This is just an anecdote, and things have gotten better as the city has adjusted (gotten more involved in my local community for example) but I can 100% see why people are reluctant to change.
Speaking of “timing out”, I always found it remarkable how commercial drivers have to play by a different set of rules (and enforcement) than we civilians. You and I drive on the highway basically blind to this parallel system.

I experienced this when a company I ran many years ago had to dip its toes into commercial vehicles (we were moving rental cars and had always just driven them, but got a small trailer & pickup truck to help). One of our guys got pulled over by a DOT enforcement officer once (we had no idea that they even existed) and got written a stack of tickets that we didn’t even realize were possible - code violations, stop-work order, etc. etc. etc. It was a fascinatimg (and expensive) lesson and peek into that world.
Blame junkies.

That isn't untrue regarding local agents, banks etc having up to date info

It's usually problematic because people suck at searching for comps. And agents are no better at it than anyone else
Is the need to 'guarantee' special treatment not an admission of guilt?
I'm already seeing the opposite. The folks who are coming back to the office are at a distinct communication advantage. This advantage compounds over time. Maybe it works for "remote only" companies, but even there, most such companies are particular business models that work well with remote (i.e software). Most companies aren't software companies.

If we're going to bet on the future, I'm betting on ~all of human history, instead of a 2-year sample of exigent circumstances. Humans are social animals.
Yep, my dogs are tuned into sock acquisition as a precursor to outside. Which says a lot about how COVID WFH has trended towards the sockless.
Just as a contrast, I think I've had the exact opposite WFH/lockdown experience as you. My quality of life has tangibly and significantly degraded across every positive point you listed. Even if my employer began offering office access, I don't think it will ever be the same as what I had before.

I used to bike to work, a productive 2 hours of exercise that kept me very healthy, mentally and physically. I got to see other people, even if they weren't strictly friends. Hell, I went outside on a regular basis!

Now I'm gaining weight (although not enough for a booster), lonely, and overworked as the involuntarily designated quasi-stay-at-home parent.
Most people still have common interests. Polarization is very strong in the legislature, but that means it's time to reform the legislature to look like the country, not vice-versa.
I think !$ takes the last argument on the previous command in history, not previous one on the same line.. at least in bash. For example, if you do:

$ ls /
$ ls /tmp/junk; rm !$

It's taking "/" rather than "/tmp/junk"..

EDIT: formatting
With the reputation & nicknames the place may soon have with students - "Mungertraz", "Gulag Munger", "Black Hole of Chuck Munger", "Bergen-Munger", etc. - the naming rights aspect may at least be a "better" deal for the University.

No, their businesses are managing money and taking companies public. They're overall revenue would benefit from aligning those businesses, but they aren't allowed to. They are kept separate because of the risks of having them together. The Facebook scenario is a different (but comparable) situation.
An example of this challenge appearing elsewhere: in the US, long-haul effects of COVID have recently moved under the Americans with Disabilities Act umbrella. The problem, however, is there’s not a single easy, testable way to determine if someone has it or not.

I'm just happy to be sitting quietly on the sidelines while the Millennials and Boomers fight it out. We'll be boomers soon enough though, it's a label that's gotten completely detached from the year of your birth.

I am feeling old enough to miss the "good old day". Even as I sit here typing message on a social forum, I can't help but feel that the internet has been a net negative. We weren't as unhappy as the current generation seems. Among other factors, I think its because we weren't constantly bombarded with the message that we should be unhappy.

As humans, we can share our experiences on important human questions, such as what is an appropriate way to raise a child, without being told that a sample size of one is insufficient to found our opinions.

Also, with respect, you could also have made the point that my experience might not be the experience of everyone without dressing it up in statistical speak. I can assure you that I understand basic statistical principles.
Having your own "pod" (within a shared common suite) may be preferable than the standard situation of sharing a standard-size bedroom with a stranger.

Strongly agree. I feel very lucky, personally, for the dorms I had in university that were basically on city streets intermingled with private homes, businesses, and so on. After growing up an incredibly cloistered childhood in an inescapable car suburb, living in walkable (while suburban) Pittsburgh was incredible by comparison and really let me grow into a functional adult if I'm being honest.
Long haul trucks have very limited space. Many truckers do bring a portable chemical toilet but it wouldn't really be practical to install a flush toilet like in an airliner lavatory.
I don’t find it unreasonable to assume that the building will comply with government fire safety regulations and that those regulations are at least somewhat adequate.
Assange specifically has not just "passed his impact peak", he's kind of fallen off the edge. The biggest enemy to Assange's cause seems to be Assange. The reason there's relatively little attention to him is because a lot of people have seen his cookieness, ranging from some rather ... curious ... opinions, to support for authoritarian regimes, to the the sexual assault, to the whole mess in the Ecuadorian embassy.

If he were taken out thought none of that would matter any more, and public opinion would very much be in favour of Assange. The backlash against the US would be huge, and rightfully so.

Side project to raise money to use it for a startup
,

I know this is a bit crazy and weird but I want to start a side project that will generate money (nothing further to that, just for it to self-sustain with its own revenues) whilst I focus on my main startup idea and use the money generated to support myself financially and to invest into the startup which I can then take it further up the startup chain?
> Bathrooms open to the public always attract garbage humans.

Only people who have hold minimum wage jobs in the service industry know this pain.

Everyone else keeps talking about treating people like humans never having seen the ugly side.

Like, for example, the side where you walk in on these fucks shooting up and then they threaten your life on the spot and leave a mess for you to clean.

Yeah, hard to have any compassion left when you've done that day in and day out while getting paid minimum wage and then going back to shit customers at the counter.

The easiest decision, is therefore, to close your bathrooms to everyone and discriminate equally. And maybe, only let the pregnant women and truckers use them.
So if you are far-right, but only to brown people, you aren't far-right? This seems so obviously racist I can't believe you can argue for that position in good faith.
No I think that's unlikely. The boomer label isn't simply old, a large part of it is viewing the world from a life spent in times of extreme economic growth.
This is fun to play around with. But, I really dislike the constant dictionary modification (per person) and different schools of theories. You end up having to toggle plover on and off every time you have to type a word that's not in your dictionary (and decide to add it or not, according to your theory so you remember how to type it). This is going to happen to you very frequently depending on the context you're typing in. It's why court reporters spend time before and after court modifying their dictionary and cleaning up their dictations.

Also, depending on where you learned English, you're going to have a lot of "is that word really pronounced like that" situations when you go to type a word the first few times.

To sum up my frustrations, want to type about 'foo' detailed subject? You're going to have to spend time adding words to your dictionary, or toggle plover off to type faster. Basically, you can type about 97% of a sentence using Plover, but you'll have to turn it off or slow down a lot to type that last 3%.
I recently used seahash in rust for a similar job. This seems to fall in the same niche.
Yup, and you won't get those specific numbers, so it may be helpful to use numbers that are available in other systems. Additionally, if you look at a chip diagram, you can see how much more of the transistor budget is used for the GPU cores than the CPU.

Well….designing a building to be good for pandemics also means making it be good for respiratory viruses in general.

You do, in fact, want to have 100 year water systems that would work in a cholera epidemic. Designing buildings for good airflow will probably not go out of style either.
I love this building concept. Affordable housing is critical, and the structure of grouping the rooms together is a great fit for the college lifestyle. Having your own room is pretty awesome versus bunk beds (my college experience).

There is nothing bad about this that I can see. If you don't want to live there, don't do it. But describing this as some kind of hellscape is way off the mark.
This is a huge improvement over DockerHub's UI (both the UI and search), and it definitely feels like the familiar GitHub. Excellent work; bookmarked!
Puppies are soooo much work. And there's so many mature dogs that need rehoming, so why bother.

But having had dogs that we've raised from puppy and ones that we've adopted, I find that the puppy-raised ones were more emotionally attached.

Labs are notorious chewers, and they have a long adolescence (3 years!). And then the chewing usually stops. They're people lovers and snuggly and have lower energy, so I can see them being great therapy dogs, just might take a bit.

When we had a dog that chewed more we got her deer or elk antlers from the pet store and she chewed those to smithereens. Kept her busy and prevented her from going after our things.

It would be helpful to be able to present diffs of log output between successful and failing runs of a test.

This is tricky to implement, for several reasons.

Log output is normally timestamped, making every line unique. Those parts of log lines would need to be ignored when comparing between runs.

Log output ordering is often indeterminate, particularly when a test has multiple threads, or interacts with an external service. Often the order of events logged is an essential feature of the difference between a successful and failed run. But some or most order differences are just incidental. The number of logged events may vary incidentally, or significantly. Explaining all these differences in detail to the test system would be too hard. So, the system needs to discover as much as possible of this for itself, and represent these discoveries symbolically. Then, allow a test to be annotated to override default judgments about the diagnostic significance of these features.

There is literally no possible in-office benefit that can ever top never having to commute, or eliminating all time-sinks of office life and replacing them with casually doing chores, taking naps, and cuddling and sex with my partner (who also works from home) scattered throughout the day.

That's why I'm never, ever going back into an office under any circumstances. Are there drawbacks? Absolutely. You're damn right collaboration is harder over Slack than in person. But my home has benefits the office can simply never beat, benefits that vastly outweigh those of the office in terms of quality of life.

Not at all what I intended. Congress is to blame for some of the mess, NASA for the rest. They had shuttle parts and tools and the SLS is certainly not the best that could be done with those.

But, remember, NASA can’t really do much unless Congress gives them the money.

Many companies are movie to digital timesheets where the truck figures out if you are driving or not. You pretty much just need to say 'on/off/sleeper'. Those are harder to lie on.

The correct action the companies should be doing is reviewing their routes and what is a realistic way to do them. That route from 1970 no longer is the same time frame. The driving rules have changed and so has the road layout.
