Claim after claim is "backed" by the same link to another blog post of his ranting about Newsom. Over and over he just links back to that blog post.

Then he started strawman attacks on "progressives." I'm pretty "progressive" and tend to ingest a fair amount of "progressive" op-ed pieces/podcasts/radio programs and socialize with a lot of "progressive" people. Never once have I read or heard someone assert that "drug dealers are victims." I'm sure someone, at some point, has expressed that viewpoint - but it's not even remotely a mainstream viewpoint.

I also see little evidence this person is qualified to speak on the subject of homelessness.
This sentiment is sad, to be honest. Not for the hypothetical actual Haitian people that deserve normal respect that your comment flipantly uses as a gag insult, but because it betrays a perverse resistance to even considering the possibility that having any sort of interaction with people in the larger world might, in fact, make your own internal world better, more knowledgeable, and expose you to things you could never even imagine without doing so. It's possible that you'll never get to be that person unless you let yourself self-consciously deconstruct what brought you here, in all honesty, inside yourself, and actually make the decision to grow a little bit. And if you feel like you should double down and die on this hill, that's not just a big yikes - it's kind of self-destructive, ultimately. The kind of situation where if it weren't so clearly done outside external influence, it would be the kind of thing one might pity you for.
No need to apply taxes on meat. Just stop subsidising animal husbandry, as well as subsidising crops dedicated to animal feed, and the true cost of meat will emerge.
Oh, for sure. The TB-303 makes it easy to get that sound right away. I think people should be picking out synths based on UX… the faster you can get the sound that you are looking for, the more time you spend making music. TB-303 gives you acid, like, instantly. Course, if you’re picky about tweaking your pattern and getting it just the way you like, you might hate the TB-303’s sequencer—something that became much easier if you e.g. had Virus and a MIDI sequencer, once that was available circa 2000.

This strikes a chord with me.

Ironically, the only way to minimize the "game playing" is by mastering them. There will always be people out there whose only real skill is manipulating the people around them, and who will deploy that skill at full force.

I'm not saying you should manipulate the people around you... but the twin powers of, "understanding whats going on around you" and "documenting everything", go a long way.
That's not 100% accurate. Signal handles message history per device. If you link a new device, you can only see messages that were sent/received after that. There is no way to sync messages between devices, they all get the messages from the signal servers directly.
This also means that you can use signal on linked devices if your phone is offline; you just need the phone for initial sign-on.

There's a lot of unflattering photos of Donald Trump that he'd rather didn't exist, but that people love to share. Should we memoryhole all of them? If not, then what argument says that we should memoryhole the Lenna photo but doesn't apply to those ones?
No. All-you-can-eat is a simple concept. Everybody understands that. You go there, eat until you're satisfied, and then you pay. There is no lie to be found.

Unlimited is a different but equally simple concept with universally accepted meaning: no limits. Companies should not be able to twist this meaning while enjoying the benefits of their deceptive marketing. They can't just lie to their consumers, cash in and then pull the rug from under them later because they violated their assumptions about likely usage patterns. They sold the consumers unlimited usage and assumed they would not use it. Some crazy person actually decided to use the service to the fullest possible extent? They must honor their promises.
there is a saying, you may think you are intelligent but you are only as intelligent as what your student is able to learn from you.

it's basically "beautiful mind" syndrome, and it's steeped deeply in ego.

now if on the other hand that teacher is coming from a place where it was hard for him, he probably has a sense of empathy and is willing to teach.
Fun fact - Lenin, yes that Lenin, spoke English with a distinctly Irish accent, as he learned it in Dublin.

I agree wholeheartedly with the above sentiments that the idea of "a correct pronunciation" is a toxic colonialist hangover. It's bad enough that we're losing diversity of languages around the world, let's not stamp down on diversity within the de facto world language that is replacing so many of them. Unique spins on world Englishes are the remaining traces of what was lost.

I’ll plus one this. I have also talked to managers about coworkers (and have them ask me about teammates). Maybe it’s luck if the draw but it’s possible to have healthy managers and still have dysfunction that needs dealt with. There never won’t be.
Papermill is a fantastic product. I used this in a previous role to execute customer notebooks driven by an Airflow scheduler. It was fantastic, let me inject private DB creds into the notebook so the customer didn’t have our prod db creds when they were writing them to start
We do the same, through Google Workspace. saml2aws has a propensity to randomly break (probably Google's fault, as saml2aws scrapes the login pages) but it's "good enough".

Quoting original link:

> The regular approach taken by many software companies is either:

> Using expensive SSO solutions (3rd party single sign-on SaaS platforms) and writing custom CLI toolkits for integrating with said platforms for programmatic AWS access (early and unnecessary complexity, financial and development time costs).
> Or not using any MFA at all and just using plain permanent AWS IAM user credentials (terribly insecure).

saml2aws is open-source code that anybody can use and contribute to, and can be used off-the-shelf. Google Workspace is "free" in that we were already using it and paying for it. Meanwhile the approach asked for in the parent, with a hub and spoke model, requires long-lived IAM users in the hub account that need to be managed separately from the company's SSO directory and thus violates SSO principles.
That's old fashioned internet drama right there. It's cool he added images and video to terminals. That's something about terminals people have been trying to change for a long time and no one's figured out how to do it yet in a way that can gain consensus. I personally find the block character workaround more exciting since it's portable, requires a small amount of algorithmic / mathematical hackery, and produces a nice retro aesthetic.
>only 3 active in its class is now out of commission.

There's potentially even worse intangible costs. Chinese military watching rumormills are alleging that Russian and Chinese forces were monitoring the multi-carrier exercise that Connecticut was part of, may have isolated the subs acouistic signiture and are poring over old sonar records to identify past Seawolf class activity. I'm somewhat skeptical, but PRC has been absolutely saturating region with anti-submarine warfare assets especially when US conducts exercises in the region.
So much amusing past tense there, given that Linux has a sbrk() function and Glibc cheerfully uses it for small allocations in single-threaded programs. This stuff is today.
I have not stated that. That's the point: I have not attempted to take a guess at the future and stated this guess (or my wishes) as a hard fact.
As I understand it, any Microsoft Office product can be scripted by any programming language that with an implementation that supports (is supported by?) Windows Scripting Host.

But can new data types be added that way?
So? Flip yourself then. Buy a 2 family unit, renovate it while you live in one of the units, and then flip when you're done. Repeat a second time. Now you're set. All of this is folded into your mortgage. If you're not a capitalist, you're not going to have a good time since no one is going to break your doors down to save you.
Nice recommendation, that was an enjoyable watch.

I like the conceptual separation of the two (real) optimization techniques into: "hardcore optimization" (my own term) which is intensive, careful measurement and fine-tuning; and this idea of "non-pessimization" which is the principle of doing the least possible amount of work while delivering the required features, analyzed from a "basic algorithms" and "fuzzy mechanical sympathy" perspective. "Hardcore optimization" is inordinately expensive so can only be used sparingly, but "non-pessimization" is much easier and should be used thoroughout your codebase. His argument is that just applying non-pessimization alone represents a 100x-1000x speedup compared to typical code. And in particular if a codebase is pessimized, it's largely pointless to do hardcore optimization because every time a new section is optimized it just reveals countless other sections that are hopelessly unoptimized and become the new bottleneck. I.e. non-pessimization is a prerequisite to effective hardcore optimization.

I also like the idea of isolating "bad code" as he puts it, but I feel that term is a bit uncharitable and implies an unnecessarily narrow scope. I don't think "bad" in the sense of a general value judgement is the operative term here, and it would be better stated more flatly as "slow code" or maybe "expensive code" because it would apply as equally well but to more situations. For example we'd still like to cache the output of a library that is written as well as could be expected for what it does but is still too expensive compared to our required throughput.

Caching with a key derived from hash(concat([input bytes],[output byte #])) is a pretty clever idea to multiplex the hash table, but I don't really love that it has to hash the input bytes multiple times, and it doesn't solve the problem of figuring out how many output glyphs it should look up. I suspect that adding an output length parameter to the cache entry, and using a glyph cache that supports outputting multiple glyph sizes (even as separate arrays of power-of-2 sizes, 1,2,4,8,16) would have been less pessimized. :)

Write your scripts in whatever you like as long as you are consistent!

Protip: starting your script with #!/bin/bash will limit the chances they are executed by sh

> An aborted script has a good chance of having left things in a broken, half-constructed state, such that simply re-executing the script results in more errors

Yes, please write good scripts that clean up and are idempotent (!!)

> but I've also written my share of scripts that ate up more time in debugging and troubleshooting than I ever saved by writing them in the first place.

With experience, you will avoid doing things like `echo something >> file` and will replace that with `grep something file || (echo something >> file)` (you get the idea)
>Even in a moderate fallout incident the city would have to be evacuated.

This is exactly the problem when it comes to Indian Point. The only way out of New York is over a few bridges and tunnels. It isn't possible to evacuate even a fraction of the millions of people through a few bridges and tunnels if a radioactive plume is released only 36 miles away. There are arguments to be made for nuclear power, but that we should have one 36 miles from the most populous, densely packed city in the country, which also happens to be an island, is not one of them.
I think you hand them over regardless, the logout is to render them invalid.

I wonder how many sites neglect that part.
rclone is fairly swell, and, comes with a spawnable browser ui.
We make scripts idempotent

does this mean change the commands that run to be idempotent? so the script/echo concept stays the same but you make sure the commands it echo's wont break anything if run more then once?

I'd normally agree with you, but Firefox has so many knobs in the about:config and they change often enough (and e.g new ones appear) that it's a game of constant surprise, thinking you turned off all of x, only to find something very similar popped up somewhere else and you didn't know about it because it's a buried about:config preference
Kranzberg’s Laws of Technology
It brings up an interesting idea about the relationship between consciousness and written/vocalized words. In my case during the many occasions where I suffered from shame and pain, it actually helps a lot to admit to myself that the feeling being felt is painful, and thus I can actually move on to learn the lesson instead of being trapped by the shameful feelings and my eternal battle of trying to suppress it.
Encryption is based on math, not on some hardware gimmick. I'd absolutely clone my laptop drive and move it to a new one if I want to, having exactly the same setup.

Maybe a more seasoned LISP-`aterian` can answer me ?

I'm in the process of learning ClojureScript - real fun so far. I have of course also looked at other LISPs and have noticed that in CJS the use of square brackets[] for
vectors, let and `function params`

(defn myfunc []
(let [some-var (:some-key some-state)])
(.log js/console some-var)
)

I almost never see square brackets in other LISPs (yes I'm truly a beginner and haven't looked too hard), but it stiked me as odd ? The square bracket syntax really helps to differentiate and with reading the syntax. (The syntax is not bad it is just different than what most programmers are use to)

Am I wrong or just stupid or is there another reason most other LISP doesn't follow this "convention"?

Again I'm super-newbie, just something that jumped out at me.
Yes.. I came to a similar sad realization. Either understand the game better or somehow treat people like confused scared kids posturing.

I also try to distill good vibes and motivation, bit by bit. Listening, suggesting, showing.

I've asked a few places but I've been looking for the social dynamics of work groups.
Was just thinking about this deeply, so I’m glad I ran into this!

On that note, any particular ideas on note taking as part of this learning process? Is it even necessary or is it suboptimal? Is there really something as effective note taking? Is it highly specific to an individual?
>For over twenty years, music theory has tried to diversify with respect to race, yet the field today remains remarkably white, not only in terms of the people who practice music theory but also in the race of the composers and theorists whose work music theory privileges. In this paper, a critical-race examination of the field of music theory, I try to come to terms with why this is so. I posit that there exists a “white racial frame” in music theory that is structural and institutionalized, and that only through a deframing and reframing of this white racial frame will we begin to see positive racial changes in music theory.

Does it refuse to get rid of dialect and variation if the race of the person processed is white? If it doesn’t it doesn’t make it white. I’m not reading the whole crazy pointless long article about more fake problems, the abstract is ridiculous enough.

They complain about the company stealing cultural music, while they complain that nonwhite world music doesn’t exist and can’t be made on it. They can’t have it both ways. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/spot... it’s just another meaningless complaint that has no bearing on reality like all their complains. How stupid are they to complain it’s both taking cultural music and not allowing people to make anything but white music?

It's not that big. There's nothing more there than you will find on the internet. It's cramped for even the not many visitors it gets. It's well maintained. If you happen to find yourself in Walthamstow this and the Vestry House Museum could make an afternoon but I'd not plan a trip to London specially for it.
Open look was originally from Sun NeWS, an alternative to X built with AT&T. Example: http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/images/tnt.gif

It was an interface that could degrade extremely well to monochrome and still look reasonable on the lousy LCDs of the 1980s. The hit points are large and spaced out enough so that it could be operated via the janky touch screens of the era as well

Also NeWS used postscript as the display language. It extended it to allow the interactive elements.

SGI also had a system based on NeWS called 4Sight: http://sgistuff.net/software/irixintro/images/irix-3.3-img2....

actually, eventually that kilo will be broken down and sold to smaller dealers who will then bring up the price to street value. so even if the value is sold slightly above cost, there's a lot of people buying from that wholesaler and reselling it to smaller dealers who then step on it more. so the number could vary depending on market forces
I think it’s a bit like when Amazon bots would occasionally drive up the cost of some random book into the millions, except they managed to fool each other into actually buying the damned thing.
The code is very nicely done. I don't use AWS currently but I stared it on GitHub.
Yup. Heroin addicts move onto Fentanyl because they develop a tolerance for the organic smack. They want 'the more potent stuff', they don't need the sales pitch, they demand it.

This tolerance escalation is just a deadly concept, because it increases risk by that much more.
That’s not exactly what parent was saying. They were saying, afaict, if an org is struggling with retention then each successive generation will be worse at affecting change. They aren’t saying anything about individuals themselves who switch jobs often.

But about your point I think it can depend greatly. Personally I switched jobs many times but have so far kept in the same field and my knowledge has compounded and I have never dealt behind. In fact sometimes I feel the opposite, some coworkers who have less diverse experience have less to offer.
Maybe someone else will have more luck than me but this seems kinda odd. The linked UCLA study didn't find those things directly. It's just (mis?)quoting other studies.

For example, the stat about "1 in 5 community college students" is attributed to "Wood, J. L., Harris III, F., & Delgado, N. R. (2016). Struggling to survive—Striving to succeed: Food and housing
insecurities in community college." From reading their paper, Wood & friends didn't actually find that 20% of community college students were homeless. They found that 1/3 of students had at some point experienced housing insecurity, which is a superset of homelessness. I have no idea where the 1 in 5 stat comes from. The paper says 32.3%, which includes students who are not just homeless but also subjected to "Unfordable (sic) housing, poor housing quality, crowding, and frequent moves". These things are obviously bad, but still way better than being homeless- it seems misleading to lump them together (unless I'm missing something?)
‘brew bundle dump’ does an even nicer job of this. Check it out!
It's a fun game to play, until you realize it's not your job to manage the managers and your co-workers, and that you're underpaid for having that extra headache :)
Totally. I've sold a lot of gear because they had all the features yet took a long time to get what I wanted. Simplicity is what I'm aiming for these days and it's changed my workflow completely. Creativity rather than frustration!

... you're totally right - the easier it is, the more time you spend making music!
Volume of output and universality of experience are inherently at odds. Everyone can't read everything. A small fraction of the population reads at all, and for many it's likely only a book or two per year. Someone reading ten books is a marked outlier.

And yet we have ever more literary outlets, even if most are online. Dropping of the editorial gatekeeper role means that much of that is unvetted, which means for the reader that offerings are very hit-or-miss. An editor is someone who wastes their time on crap so that you don't have to, and assessment costs are high.

"Personalised literature" is one possible outcome. It means, though, as with micro-targeted television or online content, that there is little by way of a common touchstone for the larger population, or even that subset which does enjoy reading.

Too, the whole concept of a "literary culture" in the sense of anyone but the wealthiest members of society buying and reading books is almost entirely a 19th--20th century phenomenon. It was born roughly in the 1850s (aided by magazines, themselves often glorified book catalogues and teaser reels, advertising and mass goods), and persisted through about 1950, with some nostalgic inertia carrying through until the 1970s or early 1980s, though television had all but completely supplanted reading as a popular entertainment by that point. (Exceptions such as Harry Potter were just that, another niche was genre fiction, though that rarely had any real literary content.)

My memory deteriorated in my early twenties. Granted it was quite spectacular as a teen and is still well above average but the feeling of loss was still palpable. I used to be able to recall written pages by having a memory of where on a page things were written. Not entirely visual but the layout was there with the information. That just went away.
But if there are no trucks to unload the ship, since they're all occupied with empties, who's unloading the ship? Wouldn't this mean delays in unloading, and thus incentive for the shipping companies to take the empties back?
