Fair point, but it's more complicated than that.

People choose where to live for a huge variety of reasons. I moved to Dublin because I wanted to live in Europe and it was the easiest place to get a job and a visa at the start of my career. It also was vastly more bike friendly than the place I came from. I rode my bike and walked everywhere and had no car for several years. I loved (and still love) that work culture is less-poisonous and everyone who works full time gets a month off a year.

Then, after having a kid, I got a 100% remote job. There were a lot of things I liked about Dublin, but it turns out I like paying basically nothing to buy a house an easy bike ride from a train station where I can restore degraded grazing land in to native broadleaf forest even more. Had there been reasonable options in Dublin (2 bed flat we could afford in a completely car-free area near secular schools), or if I had already been naturalised as an EU citizen, we would've looked at something else.

Meanwhile, the 1 year move to San Diego was because I wanted to try starting a company with a San Diegan. Also, California is vastly superior for funding. The decision to give up and leave California came after the very operators of this site rejected interviewed us and said no. Oh well.

Also, I didn't say everyone should move to a beautiful city, I shared my experiences and what I hope are useful tips for anyone else interested in the same. I don't even live in a beautiful city anymore, I live in the countryside, because it's cheap as hell, beautiful, and gives me more freedom to do what I want with my life. But I miss walkable, and cycleable, cities. In a few years we might move again, though we'll see how the gulf stream is looking at that point.

I disagree, much easier to understand when it's described like this
Yes, that's who I was referring to. I did absolutely tons of slang and a fair amount of TSecdb as well as a lot of work on the C++ infra and the build and distribution code.
"...and now many very progressive people feel the need to qualify it - "I love you, bro, but not like in a sexual way, not that there's anything wrong with that""

I cannot relate to that even a little and it is wildly incompatible with my lived experiences. Maybe back in the 90's there was some of that going on. But I know plenty of men I could call right now and tell them I love them without either of us grasping for some "I'm straight" life preserver. The entire concept sounds tragically outdated.
There's that condescending attitude again. In your fantasy land Emacs is an F1 race car, and everyone else is a CRUD-writing code monkey that drives a cheap sedan.

In reality though, Emacs is a subpar editor for both everyday and specialized tasks that's fallen into obscurity as its maintainers refuse to implement anything that would make it keep up the pace with superior editors.
Going in for a retinal exam (in Metairie) today, I took heart from the author.
It is a choice but it's also a series of choices. The analogy with physical exercise is appropriate - after a long period of sloth trying to be more active can feel incredibly difficult. Subsequent attempts (usually) are gradually less hard.

This is the whole "excellence isn't an act but a habit" thing, usually attributed to Aristotle.
All kids are sent home with a folder that lists the homework they have due, tests they have taken etc. This just puts it online? Are you saying that putting it online is the issue or that parents should have no insight on what their kids are doing unless the kid decides to tell the parent?

> Signal doesn't store anything about you aside the date you joined and the time of your last ping.

Last I checked, Signal uses AWS, Azure and GCP. All of those services are completely logged and although "Signal" may not be storing metadata, intelligence services on those networks definitely are.
There's always a tradeoff. By describing our company as "alternative to X" you saving tons of time by explaining what you company does. People are overloaded with information, and average attention span very short. But I see the disadvantages too! We have an internal debate about tagline a few months ago, and essentially decided to go with "Open-source alternative to Segment". But it wasn't an easy decision!

However, I think that the product matters the most. You can change the tagline in a few clicks. Can't say the same about the product
I also found Imitation Game, Molly’s Game and Queens Gambit galvanizing. It’s interesting that those movies elicit that kind of response despite their ostensible message being the human cost of pursuing goals at the expense of everything else. In a similar vein a Beautiful Mind and The Social network also were motivating for me.

I’m not sure if I’m just taking away the wrong message (like the people who read Liar’s Dice and wanted to go into banking) or if the writer’s own subconscious admiration of these people permeated into the medium (or maybe they made it intentionally ambiguous). There is probably some deeper insight into how we all struggle with reconciling society’s veneration of individual success (monetary and/or reputational) with the social expectation that we conform to the norms of society (being social, not abusing drugs, placing social cohesion above everything else)
How the hell does he make a QR code so large?
I'm sorry, I can't agree with your point.

You were generalizing, I showed you an instance were what you said didn't hold; and I know more cases. You bet that train videos were boring to kids and I proved you wrong in the general case.

> Is a switched off screen addictive too?

This question is absurd. A switched off screen is, for all intents and purposes, not a screen.

My argument is that my kid and many others are instantly attracted to screens as long as they show motion and sound, and that it doesn't have to be a children's cartoon or song.

Switched on screens remain powerful attractors for many children.
Ideally the base battery pack would fit where fuel tanks are with additional packs connected to a power management unit for extra range.

On the Mustang case, more carefully design would be needed to make sure the weight distribution doesn’t make it worse. While driving in straight lines seem to be a popular sport, one would expect their car to be able to corner as well.
SF neighborhoods are missing strong social fabric and welcoming vibes. I moved to Oakland after 7 years of stretches in the Lower Haight, Inner Mission, Outer Sunset, Outer Richmond, Cole Valley, Divisadero, and Potrero Hill, for a better sense of community. I love it here, but must admit I’m afraid to name my Oakland neighborhood for fear of (further) letting the cat out of the bag. I feel like SF is a sink for the forces that lead to social tension, and it protects Oakland somewhat in that way.
evidently, some people do deserve being talked down to.

I see so when you make ad-hominem attacks they are ok, but if you don't agree with someone & they make ad-hominem attacks they are a "toxic bully"
EVGA's warranty explicitly grants warranty transfer to second owners with proof of the transaction. Denying this for stolen cards isn't very customer friendly when the vast majority of cards are (legally) hoarded and sold by scalpers to customers who have no way of knowing it's stolen.

Especially considering that EVGA or whoever owned the cards when they were shipped will undoubtedly be insured and get paid on the cards regardless.

So an app for schoolkids is a really good idea. In France the app is built by the (semi-public) post office, it's called "kidscare". teachers can upload photos live, you can set who is allowed to pick up your kids, you can send a notification if your kid is sick etc... not the slickest or most stable app, but miles better than using whatsapp
There are some companies out there that sell power plants from other brands too. Tesla motors, generics, Leaf, etc.
They also sell the peripherals you need to control these things and they've been around for a while. Might want to check it out!
Yes trucks are ideal for a conversion
Angular (Angular 2) is nothing like AngularJS (Angular 1). The biggest mistake they made with Angular 2 was the name.
That past interaction stuck with me so hard, I definitely think of companies selling services around Free software in those terms. From my adult perspective it's an understandable business dynamic, but we shouldn't be condoning it from public servants.
Old trucks don't have crumple, so the truck will survive, and you'll look alright. But your organs and shit might be compromised.
> Subways, trams and buses will also kill them, that's just as dangerous.

Do you have any source for this? AFAIK it's not true. Trams and subways specifically kill way less people than cars, even though in many places they transport more people than cars do.

For buses, IDK, but i would be surprised if a single bus was twice as likely or more to kill a person than a car. And a single bus transports way more people than a car.
> regular-user feedback, not power-users, is crucial in taking those decisions

In general, that's true. But Firefox is an exception to this.

The most important thing to a regular user, is that their websites work. But for websites to work, the developer had to test in Firefox. So, Firefox's alienation of power users has hurt its regular userbase.

There's also the distinction between users vs customers. Most users pay nothing for Firefox. A relatively small number of free-software lovers provide donations. If they want more of those people to give more money, Mozilla would have to cater to power users. This leaves Mozilla's main customer as being Google, who doesn't really want Firefox to be good.

The other exception to this, is if the software you're making is so specialized, that you can get by on a handful of large institutional customers. Obviously this is not where Mozilla is, it's just another case where telemetry is not necessary.
Was an improper use of the word decimate, which means to kill 1/10th of an army. He likely meant to use annihilate.

Private utility companies are often subjected to regulatory board controls. Their local monopoly is limited by a representative (supposedly) of the public's interests. That low-risk investment has its potential returns limited to what a board deems "reasonable".

Some states regulate residential housing, or at least taxes on it, to limit what municipalities and counties may do with their taxing authority. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to regulate the rents charged by "housing provider" individuals or companies to be, on average, 1/3 of average local income.
I don't want to sound rude but I've never seen a well executed car analogy, especially when they use F1 racecars. Your analogy doesn't make the position of Emacs easier to understand at all.

And just as exercise is more complex than just tearing your muscle fibers, fasting is more complex than just slowing your metabolic rate. You could make a similar (but wrong) “of course” argument that, while fasting, the body doesn’t have enough energy to repair itself, so it decays faster.

All I’m getting at is that this is a really complicated topic, and that the benefits of fasting go beyond just temporarily lowering your metabolism.

Oh just parse that 5MB of JS to 20MB of used memory for the code (after spiking even higher), then actually run it and oh my it allocates another 20MB for god knows what, and we're gonna need like 5 representations or outright copies of every "component" on the page sitting around in memory somewhere, you know, in the name of being "performant" and having good "Developer Experience" so now it's nearing 150MB of memory total. Oh and we need instant updates from the server (narrator: no, they didn't) so let's have some web sockets eat a bit more memory and a few processor cycles (so, battery) here and there even when the user's not on the page. Oh and everything needs to be immutable because it's impossible to write good code otherwise, so of course we imported libraries for that (how do you think we got to 5MB, if not importing shitloads of libraries of dubious value? LOL it's not like our "app" actually does very much) and since Javascript's not designed for it we're gonna really give that garbage collector a workout for no good reason.

Great, now that that's sorted out: let's download a few MB of JSON, then parse that into Javascript data structure (more memory spikes), copy and slightly modify that about three times in different places, then use it to create a few representations of a "component" one of which will be a set of actual entries in the DOM. And we'll keep most of that around after we're done.
Well I find myself agreeing with this more and more with the increase of the "hustle culture" and linkedin culture leaking into real-life.
I fast for 36 hours every week, from Sunday evening until Tuesday morning.

To admit it, sometimes I'm overly tempted and I don't make it.

It has kept my A1C levels very low. My normal blood sugar is in the 120-140 range, but always below 100 on Tuesdays.

I have read elsewhere that fasting can pull A1C down by .5 easily, and that it also triggers a cellular process called "autophagy" that is very helpful.
I was not proclaiming that it was a fact. I am openly frustrated and confused. An oft repeated claim is that "people just don't care about their privacy." I am moderately technical and I am totally unsure of how to keep my data from these parasite companies. Achieving privacy is incredibly arcane and confusing. Instead of quipping at me with a low value post, why don't you tell me exactly what Mozilla's telemetry does? Do you know?
"best of breed" + "we want to avoid vendor lock-in" :(
Yeah, but what did the Romans ever do for us...? /s

It's still incredible to me how nature can seamlessly cover structures as big as this, given a few hundred years of neglect. Cities substrata are understandable, but a hill just birthing itself, thanks to dirt flying in and vegetation growing and dying on the spot, is just amazing.
Sure but this problem is not mutually exclusive to npm.

Python has pip, Rust has crates, Ruby has gems..

The fact that other languages have fewer dependencies, is (imo) probably because there aren't many dependencies uberhaupt?

My argument by the way, is that many dependencies is a feature, not a bug. And the developer probably looked at you like that because he thinks you have no trust in his ability to pick dependencies..
I used Emacs, its a lot more than just a simple text editor, its more powerful than a text editor or even many IDEs. But the learning curve is too steep for most people. With VScode I can just install it and start working straight away, I cant really do that with Emacs. I dont want Emacs to die out or fade away, but lets be honest its for a much smaller group of users. It they want it to be be popular it would have to change, but then it wouldnt be Emacs anymore.
As I minority shreholder, should I agree to a new drag along rights clause?
I'm a small shareholder in a private startup.

Recently the company has amended the shareholders agreement, to grant themselves:

* Right of first refusal on stock sales.

* To implement a drag-along-right.

I'm not sure that I should sign the new agreement, since it mostly seems to amount to imposing lots of new restrictions on how I should sell my shares.

A bit more information:

* My shares are non voting.

* The company has several classes of shares. Mine are likely not the best class. (I'd need to do more research to determine where my class of shares stands relative to the other classes.)

I have no further information on what the company now intends to do, whether it be to go public, sell to another company.

The only reason I can think of for signing is so that my class of shares gets a fair price if they are considering a private sale. I can imagine them refusing a favourable price to minority holdouts in such a case.

Another outcome might be that I get stuck with an illiquid stock in some other private company.

If, on the other hand, they go public, then my shares might become much more valuable.

Aside, for "consult a lawyer" does anyone have any ideas/advice?
I have diabetes. My glucose control at home is fairly good because almost everything I eat has a nutrition label, and I can calculate somewhat accurately exactly how much insulin I need to take. When I travel, eating in restaurants regularly, I have to make wild ass guesses as to how much carbohydrate I'm consuming. On a recent trip I had some health issues, including a significant spike in my glucose readings. My A1C went from 6.9 to 8.4 and I had noticeable vision problems. I went to my ophthalmologist and he told me that I had serious retinal bleeds, and I would need injections in both my eyes. It was serious enough that he gave me the first injection in one eye that day, and the second injection in the other eye the next day. My ophthalmologist is very good and I trust him implicitly. The procedure involved antibiotic drops in my eyes, anesthetic drops, and betadine on my eyelids before the injections. The needles used were very small gauge (they looked like 32 gauge). I didn't feel any pain; just a slight feeling of pressure.

If you have a good ophthalmologist, nowadays there is little reason to fear getting injections in your eyes.
I had ICL and then Lasik as part of the same planned procedure, and I had the same thoughts beforehand. The doctors actually made it sound worse than it is.

For ICL, they'd say things like, "You'll feel a little pinch" before they did something, and I barely noticed that anything was happening.

For Lasik, it was nothing. The most uncomfortable part of the procedure was while they were prepping me, and even that wasn't anything worth talking about unless you have some phobia.

It's been a few years now and I barely remember anything about the procedure beyond the room layouts and remembering thinking it went much easier than I expected.
the vast vast majority of people arent doing things so unique that you need to diverge from what Angular expects you to do.

NFT is not tied to stock, the only long term value I see it providing users is access to information that our algorithm provides which will be tokenized so that a holder of our NFT can accumulate incrementally or spend tokens on information, which gets more robust and in-depth the longer it is running. Owning this NFT won't make you a shareholder. In terms of exit options, NFT's can be resold at any time. Any concerns, suggestions or inquiries for exit and liquidity options?

> Lol how was a top-of-the-top end desktop release supposed to translate well into excellent laptop chips?

See Zen 2. Zen 3. The desktop chips are very efficient. When you throw 105W at them, they compete at the very top of the desktop performance market. Previous to this Alder Lake release, they were beating much more power hungry Intel chips. Now they remain competitive at half the power.

Cut them down to 15W-45W chips, and they work great in laptops, with ample performance and excellent battery life.

If Intel has massively more efficient chip designs that they plan to use in mobile, why aren't they making use of them? They could have competitive performance without doubling the power consumption.

It's a similar story with Apple Silicon. They have chips that can do amazing things at 10W. Crank 60W through them and they are excellent performers.

If you have no choice but to consume massive amounts of power to get top performance, so be it. But given the choice...
I know right, are there actually 20 people who want to use Emacs!?
>Keeping 4500 students in a single 11 storey building is pretty efficient.

About as efficient as a chicken farm. Also, $300k (the price tag for a single room) gets you a new house of 200 m2 in some countries.
That's an interesting angle - the government published the data via an API and therefore the data is now public and so as a result these other laws you mention come into play. Fascinating! Please keep us posted as to how this progresses.
That doesn't work if you are never (or not often) online at the same time as the other.

I use signal to chat with my cousin who is in another continent, and he is online only when within reach of public wifi when he's outside, which is at night for me. My phone is always connected to 4G, so maybe what you propose could work in this specific case, but in other cases it could be an issue.
I mean, that's a common difference between a SaaS and a self-hosted solution. For a SaaS service a block list can include *.somesaas.com vs a self-hosted service that has it's own domain per owner, meaning you'd have to add every single one to the list. You can always find a common pattern in the URL (e.g. the API), and block based on something else. There's also an issue[0] to block based on POST body.

I guess for walkable as in literally able to walk somewhere that works.

But I was thinking about walkability from European perspective where it means you don't need to own a car (the places you've liked to look like every household has a car). When I lived in London on multiple occasions I've had jobs within 20 minute walk from where I lived.
