The cask project supports large binaries and projects whose licenses are a little more poisonous than your standard brew libs. tap as far as I can tell is basically the same as PPA extensions in linux, it lets you install stuff from external repo lists. PPAs were pretty standard fare when I used to use linux more often, maybe working with package managers in your distro of choice for a while will help. In practice you usually don't need to use either cask or tap 99% of the time.

For those that enjoy this style of article, Amit Patel's Red Blob Games site[0] has similarly well-written and interactive articles, mostly regarding pathfinding and map generation in games.

He also wrote an article[1] about how he creates the interactive elements of these articles, and a lot of "background" information about the articles on redblobgames.com can be found on his other blog[2].

1) A large increase in evictions will mostly affect the rental market. There would be some single family home rentals affected, but mostly it would affect apartments.

A lot of homeowners who needed help during the start of the pandemic were able to get a forbearance on their mortgage. Thus, there was not a huge increase in foreclosures and instead people just had extra payments tacked onto the end of their mortgage.

3) If anything, wealthy homeowners are getting a tax break. Congress is considering a repeal of the SALT deduction limit, which helps homeowners.

5) The number of people who were fired or quit due to mandates has been very small.
There's already pooling solutions for staking and more coming online such as https://rocketpool.net that do not have minimums.

Ethereum doesn't have a monetary policy, it has a security policy: the minimum issuance necessary to secure the network.

You can't simply start mining to any significant degree on Bitcoin without setting up a data center filled with customized ASIC chips that are useless for anything else but mining Bitcoin.

At least Ether's current proof of work mining is GPU based. And at least the GPUs will be valuable for AI and graphics rendering after the network migrates fully to proof of stake.

Ethereum has more than 200K validators on the proof of stake Beacon chain right now and is expected to rise dramatically as the Merge gets closer. It is highly decentralized.
I know of one person who worked part time in industry while obtaining a PhD (also part time) from a major university in the southern California region and another who is currently doing the same at a different major university in the same region. Both people were working for a very large, Fortune 200 company. At the time they were in their mid 20s but I was offered a similar path (I'm in my 30s), but I've since left the company
The idea here can be generalized to a primitive programming construct: The magic function "wish", which can do anything you want, just give it a string description.

For example:

wish('copy these files to this host', files, host)

You can augment this further by allowing the program to specify a return type from the wish, and magically the wish will produce the type you want. So for example:

data = wish(Path, 'the path of the data files I need')

Of course, the wish is actually implemented by sending a request to some human user. In my "wish" library for Python http://rsyscall.org/wish/ you can have a stack of handlers for wishes, just like exception handlers. If later you want to automate some wish, you can specify a handler which intercepts certain wishes and forwards the other ones on (by wishing again, just like an exception handler can re-raise).
Ah, sorry. That's what happens when I go stream-of-consciousness. :)

The experience with Ubuntu+MBP is way better than Ubuntu+Thinkpad. As far as I can tell they are using the same drivers (I've tried installing multiple different drivers on the Thinkpad and then uninstalled them.) My conclusion is that MBP trackpad hardware is just that much better than the Thinkpad.
furthermore, all these kinds of productivity tool 'advancements' and evolutions come down to people. Wave didn't fly because people didn't get it or wouldn't adapt. Sure, there were some really great parts of it and so they were extracted and moved into other apps where people could warm up to them and see some advantages.

But it's people. And it's tools. And it takes time for them to adapt and grow and old habits die hard.

Microsoft has taken 10 years to get to the point where its userbase may be ready for realtime collab apps that bring together multiple types of docs. We're talking about a userbase, and an age, where there is still tons of doc emailing and filename-ver-2-Copy.doc going on. Yes, lots of us have moved on from that thanks to perhaps more niche openness to new editing and sharing methods, Notion-heads, Figma jams, etc. But MS is just getting there now and who knows if customers will even end up using it since they've got other ways to collab in and out of the ecosystem on different scales.

But again, meh -- not that exciting. Just tools.

Starlink is awaiting FCC approval required for it to be considered a mobile service, and until then, it's supposed to operate from a fixed location. That doesn't mean this automated pre-order system should behave this way--we're just talking about moving a future installation, not having it be mobile once installed. But if Starlink is asking people to verify/update their location, it should behave in a more user-friendly way.

Unfair? Toyota Launches Ad Campaign Opposing EV Tax Credit Scheme
There are over 900 MLS organizations in the US. Their purpose is aggregating the RE listings in a region. This was super important 100 years ago, still pretty important 25 years ago, and now has little utility for consumers now that listings are aggregated online and searchable without an agent across regions with better-than-mls-portal consumer-grade shopping tools.

Today they essentially function as data brokers and unofficial labor organizers, collecting membership dues from agents in exchange for ensuring that the agent's name is on their listing wherever it's shown online and (along with NAR) pushing agents to keep "standard" commissions on their listings (5-6%).
I'm moving to nix. I use a combination of macports and brew, and brew's current behavior is unusable for me, so it's going to be relegated to "use brew for package X until I find an alternate solution for package X".

I don't want to have to keep updating brew just to keep from having to wait ever-increasing amounts of time when I want to install a new package or upgrade a specific one. I never have these issues with macports, and won't have them with nix.

This is a good point, though the edges are graying there too.

I've been seeing a lot of ads lately for an iOS game (an awful looking game, but that's beside the point) whose major claim to fame in their ads is that you can earn Roblox's Robux by playing. They probably aren't using any sort of federated Roblox "metaverse ecommerce platform" today, they are probably just laundering Robux gift certificates. (I'm not entirely sure, it's not a game I have reason to download as awful and creepy as it appears.)

So there are at least some game spaces they don't own. (Whether or not you agree those are worthwhile game spaces.)

If someone hits your car while using the car features is exactly why you can sue both the driver and Tesla. You’re very likely to in against the driver, the other isn’t really tested in court. Your mileage may vary.

Also, how is the bank supposed to protect your account if you give your login information away to a criminal? There are a non-negligible amount of cases where the consumer compromises their accounts themselves. The responsibility lies on both. The burden often isn’t placed on the consumer either. Merchants are often the ones that pay the highest price.

I've never understood places with rigid style guides policed by people. Its idiotic, because we have computers and in places like google presumably a fair number of them know basic parsing/lex sufficiently that if they can't make a tool like clang-format that automatically reformats on save/commit/whatever then they can use a tool like clang-tidy to toss warnings during a development/CI/whatever phase.

Putting people in charge of formatting/style is just an excuse for wasting time bikeshedding, either the code is wrong and a tool can tell you, or its not wrong.
The US has been nuclear hesitant since before Twitter was around. Perhaps it's gotten worse, although I think that would be difficult to prove causality.

I repurposed an old laptop for occasional video watching, running a small debian. Firefox or chrome are huge compared to everything else.

The other factor is that high video resolution eats the machine.

I've heard quite a lot of these reasons. In my opinion, most of them either come from a place where the person is missing some key piece of information, or their use case was already better served by other tools anyway. So the reasons seem to be not particularly important. If you know something that you think everyone else missed, then you can mention it.
For one thing, the tax burden wouldn't be equal to a months rent, and then multiplied by however many months the moratorium lasts. If you were renting out a house for $1,500 a month, and not able to collect rent for over a year, that's over $18,000 including property taxes. That's quite a tax there, only on landlords. Many of whom not only rely on a small bit of income from them, but are also responsible for paying the mortgage. Likely the bulk of that $1,500 is going to a bank, not a landlords pocket. Not all landlords own the building outright. I doubt most do.
> In winter months, solar in New York will produce less than 5% what the same facility will produce in the summer.

From the numbers I’ve seen, on rooftop systems, output is 2x in the 6 best months versus the 6 worst months:

https://www.lighthousesolarny.com/blog/2017/february/the-sea...

But some of this summer production increase is by design: summer power is worth more on the grid, so you over-design to capture more sun in summer (steeper angles, ignorance of winter shadowing, reduced focus on winter cleaning/maintenance) at the cost of winter production.

If you were building an off-grid system, the summer/winter discrepancy would be smaller. You might even overbuild for winter production at the cost of summer production.

Yes, as the other commenter mentioned, anyone can set up an LLC so that doesn't mean much. The fact that 41% of landlords have the property in their names & not an LLC just shows you how unprofessional and small-time these operations are

According to their call tonight they say they are out of that business permanently. I wonder if they plan on pivoting it to something less speculative?

FWIW, I'd love a system where you could "sell" a home to a broker and "buy" one without the musical chairs game of contingency offers, etc. I think there's real value in a space that completes the sale of properties based on some window of expected return for a property. Something where I could use a broker to buy a place cash for me and then I arrange the loan and the bank buys it off of them and starts a mortgage with me. And do the same for my property where they buy it from me at the same time and sell it and I get the difference minus a fee.

Whenever I test out a new website builder, the first basic thing I try to do is change the entire background color to some ugly color.

Here's how that went:

- Right clicking on the page outside the boxes, ok no special contextual menu

- Went into the page settings (three dot menu) and try to find the option there

- Tried to create a new block, saw "container" and see that I can add a background color and resize it to full width. That's not exactly what I want but it's close enough

- Get rid of all the other blocks except container, now the second contextual menu to resize it is hidden at the top outside the viewport.

- Create a navbar just to add a little space and be able to click it :)

- Resize the box and add the background color (unfortunately for me, I can only choose presets of non-ugly colors)

Besides this, I really like how if you already use notion you'll feel right at home. :)

Edit: Just saw the "custom color" box at the end there. My bad.
The whole concept of "exit codes" is a legacy of the PDP-11 era, when getting anything back from a program was hard. Arguably, you should get back something like argc/argv and environment variable updates. Then programs would be more like functions.
With the cheaper batteries it’s still only an ok usage if you already have it. Official batteries will cost the same as the unofficial ones for these older devices and the screens remain expensive, and there aren’t any good IPS ones. If you don’t care about it being used as a laptop you can replace them with screens that are larger in size, but it won’t close properly anymore. I personally never looked back since the x250 was better in every way, the default screen is IPS.

I'm still a bit lost as to why this and the music industry haven't been more disrupted by technology. You don't need a record label you don't need a book publisher, you can, if people want to consume your content just write your book and have people just send you money via patreon or one time donations.

I've made music with friends for a long time, and the industry makes it very hard for any independent artist to get ahead. You have some of the worst deals ever imaginable given to these kids, who are often only 18 or 19 and the label just takes everything.

Why do we need any of that, I go out of my way to buy music exclusively from independent artist, while I might stream some popular hit. When it comes to actually buying merchandise, or music I only give it to the Indies.

I bought this one last year as I was nostalgic for a game I used to play when I was in middle school (Mu Online) and it looked similar enough in style :). Got the DLCs this last Steam Sale. Playing it on low settings on my AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U laptop, anything higher makes it lag when having a high number of projectiles or porcs going off.

One thing to note, I had to set it to run with Proton 5.13 as the newer versions have a bug where a key-press gets queued but not handled until a few seconds later, so you press for a heal, teleport, or to open the map, nothing happens and you die (sad to have this on hardcore).

So it doesn't really fit the "native without extra packages" requirement, still a fun game though.

> This would have radical effects on the environment, the climate, and obviate the need to kill billions of animals every year.

Let's agree on the ethical aspect of avoiding to kill animals.

However, regarding the environment we need to look at the actual data and the weight of different activities on global greenhouse emissions:

- Livestock farming : 5.8%

- Road transport: 11.9%

- Heating/cooling offices and house: 17.5%

[0]

So considering the actions we can take right now, we would get much more bang for buck in curbing emissions, by reducing heating and cooling costs in our own homes and avoid car usage, than we would by not eating meat.

For the record I agree that we should stop animal cruelty but specifically on the environment the unconfortable truth is that there are more urgent 'confort' actions you can take right now, very people are willing to leave their car behind or curb their house A/C usage.

However, as soon as you step onto private property, this changes. Even at places like shopping malls and stores, the owner of that place can take your photo for security, but cannot publish it, and it is not kosher for photographers to take photos of customers in these settings and publish them without getting a signed model release form the subject of the photo.

You're on the right track, but it's somewhat more complicated than that. There are plenty of times when you can be on private property and it's perfectly legal for someone to publish your photo.

Two companies I've worked for have brought in lawyers for staff training on this. It's nuanced.

I don't know about the mac, but I tried to do this for the wife/kids i-devices, and it was an utter failure. 3rd party backup apps are at a huge disadvantage on ios because apparently they can't run in the background long enough to keep things synced unless they also require _GPS_ service notifications (or at least that is how the nextcloud app works around it). Which in turn eats even more battery to work around ios's inability to flag apps as trusted system services and provide extra warnings/whatever during install (or app store acceptance might be a better plan).
But collaborative editing predates Google Wave. The innovation that Google Wave presented was using a unstructured shared document for all communication. That idea is pretty dead right now, and given that that is Wave’s main innovation, I’d consider Wave dead.

GSuite might have some code from Wave, but collaborative editing came from existing implementations.
> Else, we've got the metaverse: it's just the internet, and metaverse is just the latest in a long line of silly names for it back to the "internet superhighway".

Yes, this is absolutely correct.

A "metaverse" exists in contrast to meatspace. In meatspace I walk down the street, I look through a shop window, I see you browsing inside, I spray some graffiti on the wall, you see the graffiti when you come out of the shop. We have a shared space with the qualities of presence (I passively saw you while you were browsing) and persistence (the graffiti will be there for anyone to see).

In the metaverse, I open some application on a computer, I look at some window or readout, I see that you're online (maybe I just see a light next to a username, or maybe I see your WoW character dancing shirtless outside of Goldshire), I leave something persistent (maybe a comment on a blog post, maybe a spray on the wall in an MMOFPS), which is available for you to see at some point. There are hundreds of metaverses (that's nearly the whole point; a metaverse is a virtual space that isn't bound by the rules and limits of physical space, so why not inhabit a few dozen?) of varying complexity (many websites, IRC, BBSes) and immersiveness (Minecraft, Second Life, PlayStation Home). VR isn't intrinsic to the idea of a metaverse, it's just one potential realization of the idea.

> Metaverse comes from Snowcrash, and there it was... very unquestionably a VR experience as far as I can remember?

Stephenson depicted his metaverse as a virtual space for the sake of the reader's imagination, so that they could envision something real and familiar instead of just a bunch of people clacking away on keyboards. The "virtual street" metaphor used in Snow Crash was always just a convenient literary device, and not at all the point of the metaverse, which to reiterate is the idea of a virtual shared universe in which to exist that is unbound from the restrictions of the physical universe.
