I scan everything with my phone and store in iCloud. I shred everything except what must be kept as paper originals (a few government documents). I stick this all into a single folder, and this folder is small since there are few documents that must be kept as paper originals.

It’s 2021, there’s no reason to have a filing cabinet of paper documents.
Yup. And it's a very disturbing trend to regulate outside the well established due process, equal protection and other aspects of law.

> I’ve often wondered why, in a poor country where women work as hard as men to feed their children, feminine softness is so highly prized. As for me, I no longer consider it a valuable attribute.

Isn't this its own answer? It's prized precisely because it is unattainable for most.
A large part of the solution will come from demand shifting and small scale heat storage at consumer side.
Me? Because clicking “submit” sometimes feels more committed than clicking “save”.
sounds like you were a bad student. none of those excuses will work at work.
Put another way, use each monad instance on its own, and ignore that it's a monad in the first place (ie. use the IO monad, but pretend the syntax is IO specific, use the List monad, but pretend the syntax is List specific etc.)

After you do enough of these, you'll start to see the common pattern, and wish there was a way to abstract over them. Surprise: there is!

This is basically I assume monads were developed as well.
I don't want my car to be smart, nor my TV.

In the case of the car, it's dependence and having options. A simple car is a car I can count on even when times are difficult. And I've got a lot of agency on how I manage all of that.

With the TV, it's simple privacy and utility.
Sometimes we have to share the blame.

In India they used elephants as bulldozers and tanks. Really abuse the elephants. It is a part of their culture.

Events out of their control let an elephant get sick and go on a rampage, trample some natives, and be shot to death as a result. Everyone was a little bit wrong and culture had a little bit to do with it.

We have the same problem with racism in the USA, it was a part of US culture to use black people as slaves, something that is wrong now and considered evil. Police officers killing black men lead to black lives matter and riots in cities. This is wrong on so many levels, and a BLM org is needed to make sure it stops happening. Meanwhile the average white person isn't racist the KKK and Nazi white people are racist and evil. The problem is that many white people lack empathy for the killed black men, and just accept it as collateral damage.

It is a teaching concept in that story, as well as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, To Kill A Mockingbird, 1984, etc. that get banned in schools because they offend people. The whole concept of the book is to offend so people will learn a lesion in why racism and tyranny are evil and we should not allow them to happen.
That depends hugely on the environment and context. This is clearly true in some settings and clearly untrue in others.

> Also as a male feminist ally who doesn't really read women/queer/poc authors (I don't read too many books period) I really need to start doing so more.

It dawned on me that after picking up books again (mostly SciFi), I had not read anything by a female author, nor had I read anything with a strong female or POC main character.

This kinda thing is probably not surprising to most who read classic SciFi. But if anyone has any recommendations for decent classic/modern SciFi novels by female, or with female protagonist I'd be interested.

I also just got back into reading, so forgive me if I've glossed over some incredible classic that meets that criteria.

Also, people might ask why it matters. How could it not? I've been readin stories about, a broken man, a bullish man, a smart man, a confused man. All men! I need some strong female characters to switch it up. William Gibson's Necromancer had something going with Molly, but it left more to be desired for me.

i think the first lesson on programming language design is to not design a language like javascript
I have a pair of Boston Acoustics CR95s in my lounge room. I used Room EQ Wizard and a UMik-1 and a MiniDSP to measure/tune them. They came out so close to flat themselves that the only thing the MiniDSP map ended up doing was bringing in a little bit of subwoofer under about 45Hz to prop the very bottom end up.

The sound beautiful, at least to my old and abused ears, for both music and movies. (I use them as stern + a su=ingle sub for music, and as part of a 5.1 system with a centre speaker and rears for movies).

They aren't quite 70's old. But they were a long way from new when I got em off eBay a decade or more back.

I also still have the first speakers and amps I ever bought, back in 1988. Boston Acoustics A60MkIIs and a NAD 1100/2200 opre/power amp pair. This speakers have has 3 or 4 new drivers (all due to party abuse) and the caps in the crossovers replaced every decade or so, and the amps have had all the electrolytics replaced a couple for times. They still provide great sound in my dining room.

(And I've become a bit af a NAD/Boston Acoustics brand-tragic. I end up drunk eBaying both brands every now and then, I have a pair of A40 speakers on my desk here, The lounge room home theatre amp is a NAD 70W per channel amp. And I've got most of a setup of a pair of A40s, a NAD 3020, and an Apple Airport Express together as a birthday present for a friend in a few weeks...)
I basically agree (he enjoyed the Eastern Front too!). But don't the flaws of the Tractaus put you (all) off Wittgenstein entirely. His later work -- what he wrote when he wasn't in the life-threating midst of unimaginable suffering -- is much more normal in method of argumentation and much easier to digest. Some of it is downright enjoyable to read.
Java is getting green threads by means of Project Loom, and value types by means of Project Valhalla.

Not to mention it has sum types and pattern matching, something not available in golang. golang doesn't even have proper enums, quite astounding really.
You could setup an eBay store and sell or auction them.

If you don't have the bandwidth to do so, perhaps you could find some biz that buys such stuff to resell.

A few years back I used to work at a company purchased CISCO, IBM and HP equipment from a broker who used buy up masses surplus (recently obsoleted) equipment from enterprise systems upgrade programs.
This is very true. Floyd Toole says in his book for a popular audience that with modern equipment, what you're hearing is roughly 1/3rd the speakers, 1/3rd the room, and 1/3rd the production quality of the recording.
I think everybody expected this. Big corp/biden news has struggled to keep up the facade lately. Look at the dislike counts here https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos
Depends what you mean by "scanner".

I think the OP was referring to receivers that could rapidly scan a multitude of channels, then stop if one became busy.

They did exist early on, but weren't really practical till synthesized (and programmable) oscillators arrived.

Some military receives had mechanical push-button tuning, but programming new channels was cumbersome and slow.

Of course you could just use a bank of receivers, but you need an operator at each RX, else you'll miss most of the traffic. Especially if more than one channel becomes busy.

Bottom line, having access to scanners doesn't fix the problem.
If teachers really do assign more homework these days than in my day, this practice has certainly failed to move the needle on results.

If the school-by-zoom accomplished anything, it gave the parents a window onto what was actually being taught. They didn't like what they saw, hence the pushback in the PTA and school board meetings.
In 2014 I was in German and re Ted an Audi A1. It screamed at me at 200km/h (or maybe it was 180?). Anyway, it was super annoying.
> US government ineptness? Or US citizen ineptness. It's not the government buying this debt

You are focusing on this one type of transaction whereas the reality is that the Chinese state exercises influence in a lot of other areas where US investors have no control. Say, for, example using state-sponsored hacking and espionage to give an unfair advantage to their investors on the international free market. Something US investors could go to jail for if they tried to do. I repeat, if the US doesn’t fight for US investors interests, China will nonetheless fight for theirs.

It's amazing how many people think bikes only work if you're a fit single person with no kids in a big city.

On some level they're aware of ebikes existing, or, y'know, the Dutch, but for some reason the thoughts of "the Dutch bike everywhere" and "the Dutch have children" never quite connect in their heads.

Whenever I look at a product that I am in doubt about I look into the reviews that gave it two or three stars.

It's like a secret communication channel were you don't have to listen to the paid raters at 5 or the angry mob shouting about how it didn't <something completely irrelevant> or how it arrive late because of customs.

In the same way I write a two star rating when I really dislike something so other smart people can easily find my message ;-)
It's a lot of work to prepare a good physics exam, partly because you don't want to pose questions that the students are already familiar with.
I had not heard of Spruce Pine - thanks for the references! In the very interesting Wired article you linked, I notice that the quartz goes to GE, which spins it into crucibles. So, I guess the size is unlimited.

The current silicon ingots are amazing - cylinders a foot and a half in diameter and maybe six feet long. They are handled with cranes.

The ingots are so large and the chips so small that there isn’t much waste. The edges are often used for test patterns.

The chips don’t have to be rectangular, but it’s easier, because they are separated with diamond saws or wire saws, which cut straight lines.

Some companies make photosensors in weird shapes using ultrasonic cutters.
If you look up global EV marketshare tesla doesn’t even have 20% of the market. They are the biggest EV maker yes, but they don’t even own that large of a chunk of the EV market, let alone the car market.

The way I see it people are buying the competitors vehicles but those competitors are better at manufacturing as well as each having a smaller chunk of the market and therefore can meet demand. Tesla can’t meet demand in part because they are not as good at manufacturing as they need to be.

If tesla was worth their valuation they would need to dominate the EV market with 80+% marketshare, because that way when the EV market grows they will dominate the overall car market. But they’re not that large of a chunk of the EV market and they can’t ramp up volume or drive down prices fast enough to be on a trajectory to own EV. When all is said and done they will be a single digit player in the total car market, mostly catering to the luxury segment, and they will not realize enough revenue to get the profits that the stock price assumes.

Which is not to say the stock will fall any time soon. As long as people believe Tesla can do it, it will stay high.
Coincidentally, I read this amusing story about Ocean Vuong responding to students who were perplexed by his writing this very morning:

Why do you have to agree there is institutional racism in schools to think this is garbage writing?

Worried you'll get called a racist for suggesting an anti racist is wrong?

Actually on topic though, Asia is laughing at us.

Removing homework and grading? Because "racism"?

You shouldn't be penalizing well off people (white or not) with worse schooling because some lower class students (black or not) dont have enough time to study after school.

What you should be doing is figuring out how to not penalize those with less opportunity to ensure they can either catch up or at least not fall behind.
I highly recommend subscribing to Matt Levine's Money Stuff newsletter. Informative and entertaining at the same time! Though be warned that it can be depressing from certain perspective.
Pretty much everything. Every electronic system in your car pretty much has its own small brain. Different manufacturers are missing different chips and hence being affected differently. For some it's their seat adjustment system, for some its fuel management, for others its touch screens.

I find VHDL unpleasant (and Verilog only slightly less so, even if it's the worse language) but the hard part for someone with a programming background isn't the language per se, it's learning how to design digital logic, which is very different from writing software.

There were videos with a exact issue I am searching for in the title. When the ratio to dislike to like is huge I can know that they didn't address the issue properly in the video. When they take away this functionality, I have to watch and waste my time or refer comments(if the creator didn't disable that, which is another red flag)
There was also QuickDraw 3D (not QuickTime, and not cross-platform), Apple's 3D graphics API, which used actual 3D rendered objects.

Classic MacOS had pretty well-integrated support for QuickDraw 3D Metafiles, they could be dragged and dropped, you could embed 3D objects into a word processing document or presentation or something and manipulate and explore them in there.

Kind of mirrors what Apple is doing with USDZ these days (you can send a USDZ model in iMessage and the recipient can manipulate it right there in chat)
AFAIU that refers to "we've not Received money by the end of the day".

> Have you broached this subject with your company/ boss?

Yes. The answer from the company is that they believe in mainstream economists (including those at the Fed) who are saying the inflation is transitory. So compensation will not change beyond the usual salary raises / bonuses / equity refreshes etc.
I feel bad about my initial response. I related personally to it, but then I related that back instead of what I really think should be said: yes it’s okay. The author said it’s okay. You should trust her judgment.
NileRed is particularly good.

I rather think that Cody is a bad influence, of the kind that could attract unneeded regulations.
I agree with the poster you're replying to. The large golang projects I've been involved with have been extremely tedious to work on, even on projects started from scratch.

The language is extremely weak (it's not expressive), which translates to overly verbose code that is difficult to traverse. Logic that can be expressed in a couple of lines in Java becomes 10+ lines in golang, with code scattered everywhere. Not to mention that golang lacks enums or sum types (the latter have now made it into Java), which are a huge safety and productivity booster.
The reality in my area is most people on e-bikes are aged. They already have a lifetimes experience of driving and cycling on normal bikes.
The autumn leaves or cherry blossoms come every season on their own. I guess it would probably be surprising to most Japanese people to learn they have no interest in attempting to preserve their history.

I agree.
I used to ride a recumbent in the rural parts of The Netherlands to work. Since those are notorious for being overlooked, I looked into why. Flags and such didn't seem to make as much of a difference as just behaving predictably. Drive slower in the city. Match your speed with the traffic around you when it gets crowded. And try to make eye-contact with drivers if you doubt they noticed you.

Now I live in a city and just got an eBike. I think it's more or less the same, even though you are more visible. Acceleration can be handy, but speed itself feels more of a risk if you don't have enough situational awareness.

Off course I am heavily biased towards separate bikepaths or roads where bikes have priority[1]

You’re right. It’s like a Lisp for cooking:

Just like with a Lisp, the benefit is that you always see at first glance what is the noun and what is the verb. With other recipes, you have to read through an entire “step“ instruction in order to parse that information.

We've had significant house price inflation for years due to insufficient supply. I want CPI to increase similarly, along with wages. If housing prices stay the same as today (in dollars) the house buying power of a young person will be much higher after the wage inflation. And because the dollar price of the house doesn't drop, today's mortgage holders won't find themselves underwater. Seems to me like the best we can do for both groups given the circumstances.

To make this happen we'd have to build new homes like crazy while keeping the interest rates low.
In the first and the last case, it seems obvious to me where the error is. An obvious code smell caught in review. The second error, yeah, but lots of languages don't enforce error handling around printing to stdout, and even though Rust does in theory, in practice everyone just unwraps it and moves on with their day.

The key part there is "in addition". The US in addition to the rest of the world. You might have a booming tech industry yourselves that put America's interests first -- and that is absolutely fine for American companies to do -- but please don't assume that every other company in the world should too.

If a European company wants to put a lower priority on implementing MMS knowing that it's both non-trivial and non-free in most of the world -- not least of all their own country -- then I that's a perfectly reasonably thing for them to do.
When you ditch objective assessment and set the bar really low, it stands to reason people put in less effort, no?

That's a point worth reenforcing. The initial losses were severely compounded by nominal value locked in credit default swaps... which were insured by unbacked policies. There has to be at least one person here that understands the sizes of these derivative markets in China, right?
man 3 exit

The exit() function causes normal process termination and the
least significant byte of status (i.e., status & 0xFF) is
returned to the parent (see wait(2)).

All functions registered with atexit(3) and on_exit(3) are
called, in the reverse order of their registration. (It is
possible for one of these functions to use atexit(3) or
on_exit(3) to register an additional function to be executed
during exit processing; the new registration is added to the
front of the list of functions that remain to be called.) If one
of these functions does not return (e.g., it calls _exit(2), or
kills itself with a signal), then none of the remaining functions
is called, and further exit processing (in particular, flushing
of stdio(3) streams) is abandoned. If a function has been
registered multiple times using atexit(3) or on_exit(3), then it
is called as many times as it was registered.

All open stdio(3) streams are flushed and closed. Files created
by tmpfile(3) are removed.

These all happen inside userspace. The kernel doesn't necessarily know it's exiting. It's _exit() that tells the kernel the process is exiting. The kernel then does some more processing like closing file descriptors.

man 2 _exit

_exit() terminates the calling process "immediately". Any open
file descriptors belonging to the process are closed. Any
children of the process are inherited by init(1) (or by the
nearest "subreaper" process as defined through the use of the
prctl(2) PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER operation). The process's parent
is sent a SIGCHLD signal.

The value status & 0xFF is returned to the parent process as the
process's exit status, and can be collected by the parent using
one of the wait(2) family of calls.

> The lack of true versioning, unspoken assumption of GitHub, package system,

These aren’t true. There is true versioning and no assumption of GitHub. Shouldn’t this be a complaint about the assumption of crates.io?

This is also not true. There is no installation-time execution.
