In the elixir ecosystem, we have private package management (plus software BOM support), which probably would be useful to you as it would let you share code internally for your own team. As long as zig's PM system gives you the flexibility to repoint the package manager to your own domain, you'd probably find the availability of some package manager better than bare code management, if for no other reason than it will make it easier to have internal consistency with component versions and dependencies.

OK? The US aid arrangement is also part of the whole thing, though.

[EDIT] Oh damn, when did Jordan rocket up the list of US aid recipients? I gotta start keeping up with geopolitical shenanigans again, I'm clearly behind the times. But yes, the Egypt thing was, if not publicly the case, one of those open-secret things that're taken for granted in poli-sci and policy circles, like "Israel has nukes", or "the US removing MRBMs from Turkey was part of the deal for keeping Soviet nukes out of Cuba". The US pays Egypt not to mess with Israel.
Well, I use Magic Trackpad on my desktop, and prefer it except for drawing diagrams (somehow a mouse feels nicer for that).

But I _hate_ clicking and love tap to click on the trackpad because it is much less error-prone from a precision standpoint (applying pressure invariably moves the cursor, which does not happen for me on a mouse).

I do agree on the three-finger drag aspect, though. That is the only way I drag windows around (again, would be harder to do if I pressed to click).
> I think this is still kind of missing the point about why people think that the EBM is unhelpful.

I don't think it's missing the point so much as disagreeing with the point :)

> Intentionally eating fewer calories to lose weight is a little bit like lowering the mains voltage going to your house because the thermostat is stuck at too high of a setting and your house is too hot. In the extreme case it will work (how could it not?) but it's going to cause all sorts of other problems in the meantime.

So this is why I have a problem with people arguing against the EBM and arguing against carbs (assuming I'm right of course!). It's teaching people a wrong underlying mechanism, that CICO "doesn't work", and that what foods you eat is more important than how much you eat.

What we should be teaching people is that any diet will produce weight loss, assuming it causes them to consume fewer calories. They need to find a diet that works for them and fits their lifestyle, and doesn't cause the above side-effects.

For one person that might be going keto and getting rid of carbs, because that seems to be a fairly "automatic" way of doing things, that causes people not to have hunger, and also not count calories. Great! They should do that.

For other people, getting rid of carbs is simply not something they can do for a sustained time. For them, other options might be better. Finding ways to make less calorically-dense foods, finding more fulfilling or lower-calorie versions of foods they like, etc.

For me personally, when I started my (relatively small) weight-loss journey a year ago, I just did pure calorie counting, which seemed to fit my life the best. I could still eat whatever I wanted, I just had to be smarter about amounts. I also had to learn to sometimes eat more fulfilling foods, otherwise I'd be hungry. It was a great way to learn about how nutrition and hunger work, and it's what I think will help most people.

So many people I ran into were surprised that this worked for me. After all, the only way to lose weight is to stop eating carbs, or so think a huge chunk of the population (including me a year and a half ago!).

> In the case of diet those other problems take the form of constant intrusive thoughts of eating, irritability, inability to think clearly, feeling cold all the time, and disinterest in any kind of movement/exercise.

Yes, just saying "eat less, move more" is definitely not the end of the conversation, because it's hard. You need to learn about foods and nutrition. You need to learn to substitute lower calorie alternatives or have more satiating meals. But you need to understand the underlying mechanism to even get there - if you think it's just about carbs, you're severely limiting your options and understanding.

Without a specific proposal I don't know why that would be the case. Zig is not meaningfully different from C++ when it comes to UAF.

This may be true in some places, but my undergraduate physics education spent a lot of time on standard Gibbs-style vector calculus. Taylor Classical Mechanics and Griffiths Electrodynamics especially depend on them. Maybe there is a case to be made that first years should start with differential forms, but until that happens I think geometric algebra could be a big improvement.
Unfortunately the US is well-known for actually actively engaging civilians.

Whether or not that is an isolated incident is irrelevant. The US has a reputation for shooting civilians. The US media doesn't help either, often portraying soldiers shooting civilians even in fiction.

You're close to getting it!

In a normal social setting if someone says "If you don't like X don't interact with it!" that can reasonably understood as a negative statement.

Going "show me where I said I'm upset!!" instead of just clarifying is not acceptable in a social setting. Busting out an ML model is just holding up the mirror.

I've noticed more an more "environmental" or "green" type politicans and activists seem to be very anti-progress? Has anyone else noticed this?

For example, automated cars would allow you to park your car outside of the city, but still have car driving to get places. Get's criticized. Would allow for larger capital investments in cars (batteries etc). Just removing parking alone would free up so much space for either more efficient car transport or additional options (yes, bikes).

Auto cars increase sharing opportunities as well. Reducing car ownership.

Smaller / safer nuclear power research would be near totally CO2 emission free - but big fights against that or even exploring it - while talking about how serious climate change is?

Carbon sequestration, storage, capture, ideas to drive global cooling - all shot down.

I've come to think we may end up with a rich group of folks able / willing to invest in stuff creating a sort of second tier society (ie, clean water, air and temp control for them - the rest of us suffering).

This path of emissions reductions can't be the only option worth exploring, even while we pursue it, start thinking of other ideas!
I use a cordless hand drill to drill and tap aluminum all the time (as does this project). adjust the speed until you are pulling out long ribbons instead of dust. you can use a little oil, but its not necessary. the only issue is trying to stay perpendicular to the work, but usually a little deflection doesn't matter. also pay attention to 'wowing', where instead of drilling your perfect round hole the drill bit starts to bounce around a triangle or pentagon and you end up making too big a hole. its often best to start with a pilot drill and then a final pass to clean it up. also its often easier to use a centering drill to setup the holes. it provides a pocket for the drill to rest in so that it doesn't wander, and you can use the centering drill to fine-tune the hole pattern before you make it permanent.
As someone who both bikes and drives around Brooklyn, I would bet this is going to be nearly a decade of testing. There are so many edge cases that I encounter on almost every single trip, and I just don't see anything but very advanced AI handling it

- obvious, but large numbers of pedestrians and cyclists

- 2 way roads becoming 1 lane where the directions must take turns due to construction, deliveries, or the Uber in front of you stopping in the middle of traffic for a pickup

- resurfaced roads that don't have lines painted on them for weeks or months

- congested intersections where you'd probably need to wait 3 hours to pass through legally, so you have to just pull into the intersection trusting that traffic will clear when the next light turns green

- pittsburgh lefts need to happen for the sake of traffic flow sometimes

- sometimes you need to do very human and assertive "negotiation" to get into the lane you need.

- another comment mentioned Waymo cars just rerouting to the next turn when no cars would let them in. There are a decent number of situations where that will cost you 5-30 minutes of extra trip time

- you can disrupt traffic flow quite badly if you e.g. don't pull up to the crosswalk, and out of the way of cars behind you, while waiting for pedestrians to cross on a turn (humans are also bad at this)

- it's difficult to overstate how often cars/vans/trucks are double parked, changing the lanes available, forcing cars and bikes to improvise lanes. This isn't an occasional thing, this is a 10x on a 15 minute trip thing
"extremely limited utility for society" is harldy an argument.

It's limited today. In 10 years it can change many things for people (very possibly in areas that are not even close to crypto).

Going to space had hardly any utility, going to Mars even less. But on the way there will a TON of progress and discoveries made that will be used in medicine, manufacturing etc.
Just a data point, but tap-to-click is the first thing I enable on a new Mac. So, no. It doesn't feel bad and it shouldn't feel bad either. It's efficient, and on the newer trackpads, with tap over click, you're opting for tactility over haptics.

BetterTouchTool supercharges tap with more advanced interactions, making it even more relevant.

I used to use 1152×864. It worked well on 17" CRTs, and now I look it up, it just fit into 1MB of VRAM in a 256-colour mode.

If your talk is the last one before lunch, wrapping up a little early, say 10 minutes, is almost mandatory. You're not going to have the attention of hungry people if you take those last few minutes to talk anyway. Just my 2¢ from in-person conference experiences.
Google wants every account to use 2FA, starts auto-enrolling users
Also, just because you aren't allowed to plug in "USB dongles" such as flash drives, does not mean FIDO authenticators [the things needed to make WebAuthn or its predecessor U2F work] won't work.

A FIDO authenticator is actually a USB HID class device, like a keyboard‡. So, if your $WORKPLACE doesn't allow you to plug in keyboards then, OK, I guess maybe a FIDO dongle isn't worth trying, but few people are in that situation.

If your employer has a policy of specifically issuing and authorising only particular devices (e.g. you can pick from a list of 3 Dell branded keyboards and 2 Logitech keyboards and anything else needs HR director override) then seems like it's time for them to authorise and issue a nice high quality FIDO authenticator. Yubico make some eye-wateringly expensive models, maybe they should pick those.

‡ "Like" a keyboard but it isn't a keyboard. The FIDO protocols don't involve keypresses, the device is just HID class because well, it's a Human Interface Device, seems legit. It sets protocol to 0xFF custom, and needs dedicated software to use that, which is fine.

The title is highly misleading, and is predictably being interpreted as 2SV becoming mandatory for everyone. But that's not what the article text says:

The Moses Saunders dam is connected to the NYISO transmission network. The power system in New York is designed to move power north to south, west to east (lines tend to be symmetric in theory but a good model is that the city is the load). You can look at a price map of New York State and see that. Power from the dam can go from it to anywhere else in New York (or the eastern interconnect) at the cost of transmission losses and tolling. Drawing power directly from a hydro plant doesn’t make that power green because, insofar as the plant could supply electricity to the rest of the grid, it means your power usage has the same environmental impact as the average unit of electricity on the grid at that time. The only thing it does is reduce your cost.
> Tap to click should _always_ be turned off; it's bad and it should feel bad

I love tap to click and it works great on my 2012 MacBook Pro trackpad.

However, on my brand new, expensive Dell Precision laptop from work, it's crap.

14 years after the introduction of the glass trackpads on the first unibody MacBook, I still haven't experienced a Windows or Linux laptop that comes close. Is it all due to patents?

I still see no purpose to do that, with a lot of hacking it would be also possible to make XWayland work with window managers. But that also would be pretty pointless to do because those other parts of the X protocol are also bad and need to be replaced, you might as well just rewrite the window manager.

Thank you. There are multiple tools and channels for reading and querying all of this information. Between JIRA, and, if necessary, your VCS remote, you can figure out almost everything about what a team is doing. Any grey areas? Ask directly, with whatever channel suits the urgency.

I once suggested that instead of standups developers write an end-of-day comment into whatever ticket they're working on. This would enable managers, others, by filling the blanks that status change/VCS timestamps might not tell you. People just looked at me like I was crazy when this would be even more efficient.

Don't like the Burndown Chart over the course of a year? You can literally look at the Sprint Reports to see what issues/assignees are spilling over a course of time.

This does make me wonder how difficult it is to raise the voltage on the same lines by changing transformers.

You might need to separate the lines more (and need bigger insulators), but I wonder how much of this gets overbuilt at the point of construction so you can upgrade to run more energy over the same wires without replacing them.
