> That said, the letter of the law is absolutely not consistent with the way people live in all but the wealthiest neighborhoods of my city.

Even there, it's not consistent. The cops just know better than to try to enforce the stupidest laws against people who might actually have political power.
I think that's certainly a factor, especially when it comes to the meme-y stuff - which is what has been getting a lot of the attention. From other niches I get that impression a lot less - can't really impress people with the fact you could spend $20 ;)
> It is. Actually, that's the best thing about running MySQL on ZFS. The doublewrite buffer is not just another form of overhead

There has been an interesting discussion on the MariaDB mailing list, questioning this, called "Is disabling doublewrite safe on ZFS?"¹.

The last post has been from the InnoDB lead, saying²:

> I believe that it is technically possible for a copy-on-write filesystem like ZFS to support atomic writes, but for that to be possible in practice, the interfaces inside the kernel must be implemented in an appropriate way.

It seems even he is not 100% sure on this topic.

The price of fast fashion? Chile’s desert dumping ground for unwanted clothes
Patricio Guzman's 'Nostalgia for the Light' is a wonderful documentary 'about' Atacama. It cuts between the scientists using the telescopes and a collection of women who have been scouring the desert for fragments of the bodies of loved ones discarded during the pinochet regime. Both are using the space to probe history, just very different kinds and at very different scales. Very powerful and instructive exploration of the (dead) body, grief, and the necessity of 'witnessing'. Highly recommend it to everyone here!

Wouldn't their wages plummet without unions inflating their salaries? They earn as much as doctors in UK, Germany and France.

Yeah that's why I figure it'd have to be something fairly important - most people should at least know their area's emergency number, and hopefully at least one close friend/spouse/partner/parents to help you out. In the states we carry a paper with our insurance info which will include a tow company if you have towing insurance.
No, that's not quite correct. If we measure dependency as the proportion of income coming from something, then this still reduces dependency, albeit not as much as I'd like.

More importantly, this is going to introduce a whole new kind of thinking to people who work on the consumer side of Twitter. Previously, impact on ad revenue was the only financial metric they'd have to think about. That makes many optimization questions appear simple. Introducing other kinds of revenue complicates the calculus, allowing better decisions to emerge.
Oh sure, I wanted to talk more about the "one codebase" idea - and with the state of FFI being what it is today, if you can pick anything, why pick Dart? is my thinking.

And I don't particularly hate Dart. It's fine. I've written a lot of Java so it's not much worse. But if I had free reign to choose, I'd much rather take Rust.
The action is evil, but I don’t think that makes the person evil.

People are much more complex than a single choice.

Second, while I might think the action is “not okay”, they might be reasoning from different principles, or different evidence than I am. Maybe, instead of being complicit in something I view as “not okay”, they have valid reasons to think it’s “okay”.

I’m just not so willing to condemn every person with such a broad brush just because I disagree on this conclusion.
There are some UI elements you cannot generalize, yes. But there are definitely some that you can. There is no reason you cannot have an abstract text input control with different native widget implements. wxWidgets has been doing it successfully for decades now.
Scanning documents.

Also I've been trying https://stack.area120.com/ which is a google product. You can scan a document, and then tag it (tags vs folders), and you can have multiple tags on a document. So scan, tag insurance + medical, and then you can search by tags etc. You can also add key/value pairs for important information. For instance, you can add a claim number to the insurance doc, or a telephone number etc. Seems to work pretty well so far.
This will be huge.

There is a product I have been wanting to make, there is demand (customers have been asking for it), but would never work with the distributed personal iCloud accounts before. This will allow to consolidate all of it under businesses accounts.

Interesting enough, have other people in my circles that also have wanting to port somethings to be native like this and haven't due to being business apps and the 'individual accounts' being a show stopper to share licenses.

Apple Pay does protect people. It's one of the most minimal-knowledge payment protocols out there, and if everyone in Target had used Apple Pay, then there would have never been that credit card leak scandal. Target wouldn't even have the information to leak.

I can only hope that Apple Pay is supplanted by something with more privacy and not less.
If you want to see how this work, look at Argentina. Here politicians are always trying to find something else to blame for inflation: international prices increase, supply chain problems, monopolies trying to destabilize the economy, commodity prices that increased due to bad weather, the "greed" of businessmen, and any kind of nonsense. They always try to remove responsibility for the increase of money supply they dictate.

Don't be like Argentina, keep a healthy economy.

Really, I don't understand how in this site, where so many intelligent people participate, there are so many comments about trying to disregard the link between inflation and money supply.
I wasn’t disagreeing in case that wasn’t clear, I was attempting to point out that it’s complicated and possibly why people can’t always see it. I did a poor job of that though.
> Aren't more products being bought than ever despite the supposed supply chain issue? If there is more stuff and still not enough then shouldn't we assume that there is too much money?

This doesn't rule out a "demand spike following COVID" as mentioned by the parent. It's like a cartoon where someone (COVID) steps on the hose and a big bulge of water (demand + extra savings) forms. Now that bulge is working its way through the economy causing shortages (analogy completely falls apart here).

If your filesystem can see the cloud storage, yes. You can create a directory designated "consume" and it will pull whatever it finds and can handle from there. Maybe that doesn't qualify as "directly", but I don't find it a blocker since paperless needs a computer to run on anyway, so mounting a cloud provider (or NAS in my case) is not much extra.

No - inflation is % change in CPI. It literally is the percent change of a collection of prices. The reasons why prices might change is not part of the definition of inflation.

App Scripts is great and together with Sheets it almost feel like a tiny functions + db serverless engine.

Having used it significantly, I found two main qualms that prevented me from investing more in the platform:

1. It is just JS syntax but the runtime and the “standard library” are completely different than node.js. For example there’s a weird UrlFetch class instead of xhr/fetch. It’s a never ending learning curve so much it feels like another language. Any async support is also non existent, that means no setTimeout, no Promise, no async/await (unless they added it recently with the move to ES6)

2. Due to 1, the library ecosystem is very limited. A library in GAS is just another GAS script that you import by referencing its ID (the long one in the URL).

Scripts can be public so you can import other people’s code. However no npm, no lodash and friends.

You can dev locally using clasp, so you can use git/npm/.., and package your code with webpack or something so it runs on GAS. However this only works for npm libs that do not depend on the usual JS environment and APIs. Lodash will work, anything network related won’t for example.

All in all Google App Script is more of a hassle than it’s worth so I only use it in specific cases, but I wish for a similarly accessible sheet+code environment that can also serve HTML, just with a better JS runtime.

Oh and don’t get me started on the development/deployment lifecycle.
Tough day for Jamf.
Don't Forget Ruby on Rails
If I would hazard a guess, I'd say it's possible that the region of the brain processing language has developed elsewhere than with your average human, leading to less connections from language (Broca's region) directly to auditory region.

This hypothesis would explain hearing the inner monologue when reading, as reading actually transcribes visual data directly to their phonetic counterparts.
I don't know how the 'average joe' is tolerating it right now. I rent, but I also work in tech so there's still a chance I'll be able to buy a house one day(not anywhere near my job, but still).

If I were middle class and saving for a home, I think I would be angry to the point of revolution and violence right now. There are people who have worked like crazy their whole lives and they just had their hopes and dreams set on fire by runaway money creation and the resulting inflation.

My strategy is to block them on social media, and avoid them in real life. It's worked for me so far. I've surrounded myself only with people who don't consume themselves with political battles, and my world has been peaceful.
>If we’re having inflation due to a tiny number of goods having large price spikes

I take issue with this. Hotel rooms and airfare can often be forgone for the average American. New (or used) cars to a lesser extent. However we are seeing increases in prices of ag commodities increasing dramatically. On a year-on-year basis, prices were up 32.8% in September[1]. Oil prices are at a three year high[2]. Not to mention soaring housing costs. It may indeed be to early to predict disaster, but things are not as good as your comment seems to suggest.

Really? But can't you influence 1 side of an entangled pair, then measure the other side, and you can pass information through the correlation? I thought quantum-entangled FTL communication devices were a legitimate thing.

Well here is one other random sample who has to turn the inner voice on when necessary :)

Instead of a voice I have a constant song playing in my head when I am not focused. The song changes multiple times per week but if I am on idle I have a song.

When I speak the song turns off, but no voice comes on, unless I consciously prepare my words.

Now when typing this comment, I have a voice (which is my own voice) say the words I am about to type milliseconds before I type them.
Isn’t that audible? And with megawatts of power… think of the whales!
Yes, they are. August/July of 2020 was the most recent AAPL share split. Price per share before split was ~$450usd, but it equated to ~$115usd split adjusted.
The snake swallowing an elephant theory of the price level would explain a one time increase in the price level, but not higher constant inflation, and certainly not an increasing rate of inflation.
If I start trying, it completely goes away, replaced by my monologue. I'm sure a lot of people know that feeling where you very intentionally drive your own internal voice. I can do that.

I think it's related to my ADHD. Reading is very difficult because as I read, my voice just completely wanders off, CONSTANTLY. "Oh hey, 'gargantuan' that's a great word. Reminds me of a video game monster... Oh did you just read 2 whole pages without absorbing a single bit of it?"

To add a bit more commentary: this is the one time I consider my ADHD to be a terrible disability. I cannot read. I just can't. Grad school was HELL when I had to read. But my ADHD and associated strong independent inner monologue is immensely powerful when I'm trying to solve problems myself, such as doing software design.
If someone actually builds this, you should just create a directory in the browser bookmarks and let the user use their standard browser (FF/Chrome) to actually browse the data. Maybe isolate it by YYYY-MM directory structure to make it easier to browse.

The important thing is that all of these automatically get synced and become searchable easily.

Good idea.

Conspiratorial garbage. Zero evidence in favour of this and tons against.
Meditation is exactly the practice of letting your inner monologue chatter until it dies away and you're fully tethered to your sensations and surroundings. So if one can learn to meditate, in theory one can meditate all the time (therefore not have inner chatter/monologue)
The more interesting question is what is the usefulness of inner dialogue in itself. A way to rehearse/articulate thoughts to be communicated to someone else? A roleplay with yourself to prepare for a future encounter? Thinking doesn't necessary need the 'echo' of hearing a voice. That's separate, that's more intriguing to me
Which scheduling options did you find difficult on Sheets?

> The teacher is the client.

This is absurd. The students are the client. They asked the teacher for ideas for a hobby project. The teacher provided one, then followed up with a question about an estimate. Naturally, a student gave an estimate of how much time it would take to produce the product that they themselves were envisioning.

It’s not unreasonable for the teacher to point out additional features they might want to do, and how that affects such an estimate, but it IS unreasonable to call the original estimate “wrong.” It’s not wrong for a particular scope.

I think that's unlikely to be a thing they're working on. You can get that from storing your files in iCloud already, and these days is there any good reason to back up the rest of your system? If I had to rebuild a system due to hardware failure the absolute last thing I'd want to do would be restore all the accumulated system cruft!
I'm sure they'll appeal again

If you want to do this at production quality, you probably ought to use the go AST module to parse the Go into an AST and extract that. This sort of technique works OK as long as you use the subset between the two target languages where the grammars are compatible, but as you push the level of support for Go up, the odds of the two languages having irreconcilable differences approach 1.

For instance, if there is an order-of-operations disagreement between the two languages, the only solution that works fully is to do a full parse anyhow, because no amount of regex can ever cover all the bases in that case. And that's just an easily-understandable example of irreconcilable grammar differences, they can pop up anywhere (disagreements about reserved words, disagreements about what constitutes legal identifiers, etc.), and when they do you end up backed into doing a full parse of the original language anyhow.

You can then either interpret or compile the resulting AST. That's actually not too hard; what's hard is implementing the more advanced stuff like reflection in Go or dealing with the unsafe package. (If you don't need that, then great! Problem solved.) With the AST in hand you no longer need to worry about those differences.

I don't know ruby well enough to say, but I know Python, a very close neighbor, has everything you need to be able to write a Python module that would allow you to directly import Go modules. With effort it could even compile the Go into Python bytecode directly.

You just count the number of consoles the disc has been seen at in the last week or so. Legitimate borrowing will have a low number. A pirated disc that's been copied hundreds of times will have a much higher number.

You can also make the disc acquire a lock on its UUID when it plays in multiplayer, and while the lock is held nobody else can acquire it. If you see too much lock contention it could suggest that the disc is being copied at scale (as it normally should never happen, but you can allow some leeway in case the lock wasn't released due to a legitimate issue).

I really thought that using the greek letter for pi (or theta, etc) was something you do to show your programming language supports unicode identifiers but that nobody actually does in real life. I wonder how people input this, do they know the Alt+xyz combo, do they select-copy-paste or is there another way that to write these characters that I'm not aware of?

Just to be clear, I don't mean people who are actually using Greek language for input - it's pretty obvious how they would type that character :)
Everyone's brains operate the same from a basic view, but have very different details. We all think in different ways, we all experience life differently. We just apply similarly understood terms that make it seem like it's all the same. Who knows how varied our actual consciousness is.
