True: people can afford $X/month. The proportion that goes towards interest is less relevant.

In fact, I'd prefer a lower sticker price & higher interest rate to get to $X. That way when interest rates inevitably drop at some point I can refi at the lower rate and get the partial benefits of both lower sticker $ and interest %.

Excuses for what exactly? I don't remember writing that code. I'm explaining incentives that leads to slow code. I usually try to write the best code I can in the time I have, but if one day the problem is that my code is too slow, I won't be making excuses. I chose at the time to not spend very much time on performance to ship faster, and that was a conscious choice on my part.
I'd recommend you read up a more about vinyl - you really aren't treating a very dangerous material seriously enough. PVCs are highly toxic, and at this point there are many regulations to ban their use in plumbing, consumer goods, and especially toys because they are so poisonous. Vinyl records are a hold-out. They leach high levels of phthalates into the air quite quickly which are highly toxic, far, far more toxic than the typical emissions of your average human.

They're the same Zs, right?
None of this is well-researched or strongly evidenced, but a few things that have helped me with similar problems:

* Reading Nonviolent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg. I have very low native empathy, and the techniques in that book have helped me learn to understand and interact better with more emotionally-responsive people. It also helped me learn to recognize my own emotions better.

* Therapy. Finding a good therapist is hard and they are definitely not all good, but it can help a lot when you do.

* 2.5 grams of daily fish oil seems to have actually increased my emotional response significantly. Totally anecdotal, and not why I started taking it, but after about a month of that dosage I started to notice a difference. There's some evidence I may be on the autism spectrum (high-functioning, once known as Asperger's), so this could relate to that.

* Consciously taking breaks throughout the workday to pause, stretch, and think about what emotions I'm feeling and why.

I hope some of that helps you.
This is just my take on it, but I've always viewed art that is beautiful as something that points to transcendence beyond the piece itself, it breaks the closed loop and points to some higher ideal.

Anti-human art and architecture, of which Brutalism is one example in my book, is revolutionary in that it attempts to sever the connection between humanity and higher ideals / planes of existence, creating closed loops of despair and grayness.

In Japan (where I have the most cultural experience outside of the US), there is a phrase "inki-kusai" which is similar to our word "inky" - it calls to mind dark, moldy places filled with litter and insects. I think it's one reason that solar reverence has been so prevalent in their history, sunlight and fresh air serve as disinfectants.
Mechanical toys can be “screwed with” a lot. Like experimenting with a ton of “what if…”

Electronic toys generally don’t give you much of this.

And I think this really represents a fundamental change in a lot of aspects of life: there’s a specific way to interact with things, prescribed by the maker.

I absolutely loved the quiet weekends as a kid where I could spend hours and hours making ridiculous contraptions by mixing toys and a bit of tape and such.

Err. You mentioned LG earlier ("Apple, Samsung, Lenovo ... and LG combined"). Now, you complain that they shouldn't have been mentioned because they don't sell phones anymore? That's just your list.
It's on its way out, but we used "blue" that way in the US, too. Boomer-aged people are almost certainly familiar with that usage.
Google didn't have much of a choice. It's either a polyfill or not supporting Firefox at all.

Or having two different frontends, or stopping feature development to make Firefox developers happy. Which are terrible choices.

Yes, short-stroking - as it is called - was indeed a trick to get better performance out of a hard drive.

However, latency is about both the latency of the arm movement and the rotational latency. The latter you can't overcome by short-stroking.

However, short-stroking does point to an interesting problem when hard drives were still relevant.

If you didn't size your storage right, you ran out of IOPs long before you ran out of capacity.

For instance, if you run VMs on your SAN / storage array, you may have to stop putting VMs on the storage long before capacity is reached.
As a former enlisted member myself, I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, any attempt to bring attention to this in masturbatory echo chambers such as this will not be met well.
I would give my opinion on 2 things:

1. The experience you might get as a IC or an individual contributor will be very valuable as a lead/manager since you might already have had experienced the people/technical problems brought to you from the other side of the table.

2. It is very hard to go down the ladder or it will be a question most often asked later down when you interview elsewhere.

I wish you good luck with what you are doing. Taking initiative to lead takes courage and being selfless.

> Investors Spent Millions on `Evolved Apes´ NFTs. ~~Then~~ They Got Scammed.

What the title should be because let's not pretend NFTs are anything other than a thinly disguised vehicle for scams, speculation and ultimately simply wastes of energy.

In any case I can't honestly believe that everyone waxing lyrical about NFTs' supposed upsides or "value" is not someone in it for a quick profit at the expense of gullible people and/or others with the same motives but not as good at scamming.
Seeing NFT-peddlers bend themselves over backwards in mock sincerity so someone will buy into their scam is just pathetic.

> over in the metaverse threads, there is discussion about creating intentional artificial scarcity in a world of natural abundance, as the basis for a new economy.

Which isn't new (neither is mistaking a clear case of natural scarcity in an unfamiliar structure for natural abundance; the metaverse is limited by all the traditional dimensions of computing/information capacity—energy, processing capacity, storage, etc.—and it won't take long, if it actually exists in a usable form, before exploiting the superficial abundance results into usage running headlong into the real natural scarcity; artificial scarcity will be superfluous.)

Every device branded as running "Android" must pass Google's Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) [0]. One look at the tests suggest that many of the adb commands Universal Android Debloater (UAD) [1] relies on are infact part of CTS:

- pm clear: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/maste...

My guess is that the toy in the Twitter thread was the result of a kind of refactor. If you find a recording of the original it has a traditional music box inside which actually plays the songs (you can hear the tinny sound of the metal tines). So they probably took the original, figured out how it worked, replaced the audio generation with speakers and the microcontroller and changed the read head. Since the newer ones apparently use a switch and no spring, that was an intermediate step to the current incarnation.

The first version was an electronic imitation (complete with winding) of the original. Once the winding was rendered unnecessary, you get the current version without that imitation and it loses the tactile component.
I don't like this trend of forcing everybody to speak a certain way.

> But also this vision is predicated on there being a small number of canonical NFT brands, when in reality you can open up Grand Theft Auto Online and there are literally tens of thousands of items made for the game. So if there's 10,000 items made for GTA Online and 50,000 items made for the Sims Series, then interoperability means that Square Enix needs to add 60,000 items to Final Fantasy to support subsidizing the NFT marketplace for the other two games? Or else you sit around trying to import your Mercedes Hood Ornament NFT from Forza into Mortal Kombat 13 and it tells you "hey, we don't support that one! Or that one! Or that one! Or that one!"

Another possibility is mapping everything to a limited set of items. So like, I can bring over any of my golf clubs from PGA Tour 2K12 to Grand Theft Auto, but they all just map to a generic "golf club" I can beat people up with. But this isn't very compelling after the first couple times someone tries it.

So this is totally about the problem, and not the "solution." If you're attacking her, you're against families finding out what they need to know. BS.

Maybe if she said something about the reliability of the method, and not the need for ANY method, I'd pay more attention.

Because that product was an embedded system running on a very small SoC. It only had 1MB of flash and 192k of SRAM. It's theoretically possible to run CL on a system that small -- Coral Common Lisp ran on a Mac Plus with 1MB of RAM back in the 1980s -- but nothing off-the-shelf will do that today.

(I did, however, put a little Scheme interpreter on it as an easter egg :-)

I do have some CL code that supports the crypto project. The back-end for this:

Wood houses last centuries in the US, just ask anyone in the northeast part of the country. They will also last much longer than "bricks and concrete" because large parts of the US are subject to strong earthquakes, which makes that type of construction dangerous and expensive. Many areas that originally had brick and masonry construction were badly damaged in earthquakes, and subsequent housing was built with other materials. On the west coast of the US, for example, there is a clear transition period in construction materials before and after the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco in places as far away as Seattle once that risk was recognized. Wood and steel construction can survive strong earthquakes with minimal damage.

If anyone wants an discussion aside from “nft itself are scam why bother drawing a distinction” or “crypto is a scam yada yada” here is one:

NFT communities often try to use the narrative to independently build off the collection without the help of the issuers. This is possible but it usually fails because nobody has the same level of budget as the issuer would have. And there are too many other opportunities and vibrant communities to be a part of that don't require repair.

Outside of NFT land, the cryptopup meme currency $FLOKI has gone through two rug pulls and still got community support to attract a $1.7bn marketcap (by circulating supply). And FLOKI still has a transfer tax that pays the original rugging dev on every trade! I think only a handful of people know this, despite the community rallying to steward the token and order ongoing ad campaigns including on the sides of metro buses I’ve seen in major US cities.

Water resistant earbuds still don't last more than a year. I've found ~$30 wired sweat proof headphones have the best value ratio IMO.

I actually could complain a crap ton about running setups. With the 'death' of mp3s and the rise of streaming services, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get music on your runs without some sort of phone/smart watch. I really miss the days where it was just an iPod shuffle. They have the Mighty, which is basically Spotify playlists in iPod shuffle form, but it's poorly made. Smart watches are cool, but needs Bluetooth headphones, which are less comfortable (heavier) than wired headphones and just add complications to something I'd rather keep simple.
