Note that you can still bike to work: take your bike, drive halfway to you workplace, come back home and start working.

For some person having a ritual marking the beginning and the end of the workday can also be useful to balance work and personal life.

This doesn't help with missing the coworkers of course, but depending on what kind of job and where they live maybe something can be done about that too ?
Thanks for the book recommendation, will check it out :)
These companies have many bad managers. People shouldn't waste their time working for shitty managers. Always better to leave sooner than later.
> What is this treachery you are talking about ?

In the second battle of Seringapatnam, the British suborned Mir Sadiq, Tipu's chief vizier. He deliberately withdrew his troops from the section of the curtain wall the British breached.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Seringapatam_(1799)#T...

Mysoreans still remember to this day the Nizam of Hyderabad's craven assistance to the British, and you could argue that was another form of treachery.
If something has that average speed capability, why is not licensed, registered, insured and held accountable as any vehicle would be? My 50cc scooter appears to have comparable speeds (maybe 10kph higher), and I wear proper armour & helmet, took the classes passed the test, am registered, licenses & insured.

That's my massive pet peeve & safety concern: I WANT to love e-Bikes, and all those sorts of things; and like a fellow poster, I've been riding both 500-650cc motorcycles and 50-125cc scooters for more than a decade so 2-wheelers are part of my life; but basically all the ads, shops, and salespeople over here are focusing on "You don't need license, you don't need insurance, you don't need to behave like a vehicle and obey the rules" as their main and primary sales point; and therefore the behaviour of riders is equally nonchalant. In the Toronto area (and it's important to be explicit because this is definitely different in different geographies), the relationship between cars and non-gas two-wheelers is charitably described as "strained" ("murderous/self-righteous hate" may be more accurate), and we all need to get better and understanding how we can co-exist and behave responsibly on the road.
The Django Debug Toolbar has a SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK setting that you can give a dotted import path to a function that returns True/False whether it should be enabled or not. By default it just looks at settings.DEBUG.

Other configurations work the same way.
Weird. It was verifiably not about slavery - at least not from the beginning. It was not an issue until well into the war.

Also, I completely disagree with your interpretation. Recognizing that people at that time, on both sides, did not actually care all that much about the plight of the slaves, does not 'downplay historical racism', quite the contrary. It goes a long way to explain why blacks, even after emancipation, never really got a fair chance in America, to this day.

I am not an American and have no dog in the fight, for what it's worth.

My father in law was a radio engineer (retired) that had a job installing equipment in a nuclear power plant. He had to go all over the facility for weeks. Based on the article, I would think his clearance would have been S, but the author seems to think S has been discontinued. I’ll have to ask him to see if he remembers when they come over for Thanksgiving.
Care to expand? It may depend on your values. Is the purpose of a life to be as productive as possible? Is it to share love with friends and family? We have this sick obsession with productivity that harms our quality of life. Wouldn't you rather make the world happier "wasting" good time with those close to you (even yourself, e.g. video games) than being "productive" for someone else's bottom line?
“… using neutrinos”

“… neutrons will be absorbed…”

I made the same confusion for a second. Neutrons are easily absorbed. Neutrinos (little neutrons) are almost impossible to interact with (and therefore absorb)
Thank you so much! Yes, it is consular notification. Will try to get an appointment asap then.
I have an appointment for getting my booster shot next month. Won't hurt me and might save me from hospitalization or worse. I know several people that have had Covid at this point. Several of those had a rough time. A few of them were vaccinated and mostly had minor symptoms (comparatively) but still not nice.

For me the reasoning is very simple: I want to maximize my chances if I get infected and minimize my chances for actually getting infected. Vaccines do that. And I definitely want to minimize the risk of me spreading this to somebody else that might actually die. For example, I know of one case of a person that got infected and then visited his parents. They died; he lives apparently. COVID sucks.

Those still arguing that it's all a big com-plot by Bill Gates or whatever, stop being selfish needle shy dicks, and get vaccinated already. Lets face it, men are pathetic weasels when it comes to needles and that's all there's to this. Been there done that. Get over it. People are dying. Don't be part of the problem and stop rationalizing the fact that you are scared of a tiny little needle.
It actually reminds me of plumbing more than anything else, especially appellate briefs.

May I know what GP means? It's the first time I see it.
In tech jobs, you probably are in a bubble. Most jobs won't have such respecting bosses, it's pretty much the norm in many places to demand unpaid work after-hours. The move to remote work has worsened this problem because the line between work hours and off-work hours is even more blurred.
I figured with the kind of mileage that I'm getting out of this and the cost of electricity it's a pretty good deal compared to firing up my trusty boxer.

I've used two packs, two times 500 Wh but I'd run them dry on my regular commute so that's what drove the decision to build this bigger pack. There are some advantages, but the Bosch system keeps a reserve so you'll end up transporting some idle capacity anyway and you're killing the batteries cycle wise.

The DRM I have not - yet - been able to crack. Not for want of trying though and I'll definitely have another go at it. The CPU is a 32 bit chip that can do all kinds of neat encryption stuff so it's not going to be easy. To my knowledge it hasn't been hacked yet.
There may be some room for innovation in the way the results are handled, such as secondary searches and more powerful filters to make it easier to get where you wanted to without having to run a new opening search or using advanced search.

Honestly I’d be happy with a google that just let me quickly hide results from certain sites.
> I've tried Python, hated the inconsistency of it

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve written in both Python and Ruby, but I’m not sure what you mean by this critique of python. I wouldn’t characterize either language as “inconsistent.”
It is complicated. They released code out of cycle which isn't a process issue. It's a person issue. You don't do that stuff without planning a MCM. You also don't become unreachable after a deploy.
And just to emphasize: almost everything is either free or inexpensive, both software and a lot of wonderful hardware.
There was a book published just last year about the CL condition system for anyone who wants to better understand it (disclaimer: it's sitting on my desk but I haven't read it yet): https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-6134-7
I've heard that some apps forward the positive reviewers to the app store rating page, and the negative reviewers get redirected back to the app.
We had a choice to make things government control without a profit motive, to ignore IP law and have a Trips waiver, to nationalize healthcare, and we said no to all of them and the result is a system where there's supposed to be a profit motive reason behind everything.

Isn't this what everyone wanted? Everything being run "like a business" to maximize profits? Wasn't that how we all intentionally set it up? Shouldn't y'all be feverishly shaking the pom poms and doing backflips and squad cheers for capitalist efficiencies and the free market?
2 1/4" tires on it, traction is pretty good. Haven't fallen yet, had to brake hard for animals (cats, dogs, deer, a rabbit or two, and once a boar). So far so good, but having already had a pretty bad bike accident I'm pretty careful now.
These are not deep fakes. Because deep fakes like almost all AI are shit or marketing for suckers who don't get tech stuff.

These are digital assets.

A decade? That reference gives a date of 1981 for the bitmap-rotating algorithm:

> The Byte article on “The Smalltalk Graphics Kernel” [Ingalls 1981] details Smalltalk methods that,
with BitBlt at their core, can lay out and display text, draw lines, and magnify and rotate images—each in little more than a dozen lines of code.

In that reference, the bitmap rotation is on page 188 in the original publication (page 202 of the archived document).
When I clear history from the Settings app, it closes all tabs (at least it did when I tried a few months ago). When I clear from Safari itself, it doesn't close tabs. Maybe you did the latter?
I don't think I'm getting a booster. I could be swayed one way or the other depending on new information that comes out. I already had Moderna at the start of the year which has the higher load among the vaccines and I'm not really at risk. I'd be interested to know the risk of myocarditis from a booster versus being exposed to the real virus once fully vaccinated.
>I would like the freedom to run a free OS with free drivers on it.

I may be reading this wrong, but it sounds like you think this is something of a limit because of Apple. You have always been able to do this if you could find software that works. You can't "use" their OS on non-Apple hardware though.

It's not Apple's responsibility to write code for software that is not theirs. Could they release "drivers"? For what? Why would they? The hopes of selling 1k more hardware units to Linux devotees? Why would they want to incur the expense of that support when it is such a tear in the ocean level of user base?
Nice! Stromers are great gear, I like the looks too.
Absolutely what I was saying.
This is complete nonsense and only benefits the pockets of lawyers, pharma companies, and the media.

If this reasoning was logically sound then the same should apply for all of the existing fatal diseases listed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics. Let's also not forget seasonal flu.
> Aren’t you just buying a very inflated asset with that mortgage?

If there is no significant inflation in the future, that's probably right.

But if there is significant inflation, that value will go way up in absolute dollars simply due to the dollar devaluing. And the mortgage balance will effectively be minimzed by the same reason.
> but definitely doesn't involve defining a custom `each` method on your class...

Author here! Thanks for the feedback.

I suspected as much, and was more or less writing it to be illustrative. Though I agree I am bad at Ruby :)
Like most situations (at least in CA) involving the pandemic, doing it a wrong way is easier than doing it the right way. All the people I know who got their boosters simply lied and said they were eligible. Nobody checks. Just like back when the vaccines first emerged: The easiest way to get one early was to just lie. Nobody checked back then, either. Ironically, also the easiest way to comply with any vaccine mandate, so far, has been to just lie and say you are vaccinated and/or present a fake card. You can basically do anything, with a white piece of cardboard that says "Mickey Mouse" on it. Nobody verifies anything. It's all incompetence and blind trust from officials, top to bottom, which incentivizes taking the easier, dishonest path.

It's like getting pulled over and being able to say "trust me officer, I've got a license" and they believe you. Honesty and waiting your turn buys you nothing. Total incompetence.
yeah "vim vs emacs" for webdevs
hollywood 'dramatized' them .. they exaggerated them into
something else that can cause people to fantasize and aspire, as a technique for influencing/controlling people's behavior

it's the high sugar/fat low nutrition junk food equivalent for people's mind instead of their tastbuds - people ate food before, but fast food made junk food prevalent - hollywood made junk romance prevalent
Yes, for loops (and similar statements) don't introduce scope, so its not quite simple sugar for .each, and there are a few cases where you might use them over each for that property (if you are mutating values that you want to access afterward, it can be more concise than each) but they are mostly anti-idiomatic.
It seems they are going to duplicate the efforts from bgfx (https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx)
It's always been incomprehensible to me why they went all the way to production on $500 standalone devices with inside-out tracking but no tracked controllers, then gave up and let Oculus/FB/Meta eat their lunch.

They did the hard part (the inside-out tracking)! And 3D input was obviously a game changer and the future (for VR) to anyone who had tried it out, which included basically everyone who had been to a VR conference at the time (and the tech had been done decently at a consumer level as far back as 2010 with Sony's Move controllers).

Why go all the way to production on a platform that obviously has no future? Why give up right before the basic UX factors are met?

And now they're putting the same person in charge again under 'labs' branding?

It's really hard to be optimistic about this leading to products that go anywhere. Google obviously has tons of tech and talent, but sometimes it feels like they manage to be way less than the sum of their parts due to poor management.
Surprisingly, we can move the plant.

At least we could if we last that long and didn’t mess up the process, neither of which I would count on.

> programming languages where if you write code now - you will be able to compile and use that code ten years from now (a software lifecycle eternity)

Fun fact: code written in JavaScript in 1995 will work in 2021, after 26 years.

If you are talking about "good practices" - few weeks ago I worked with C code from 2001 and it was just awful. Yes, it compiles - but it wouldn't pass any modern code review.
I don’t like that measure because popularity doesn’t translate into “good”.

What’s the most popular office pen? Papermate, Bic? I may be looking for more quality.

What’s the most popular hotel in some city? Maybe I’m looking for location or other aspects other than popularity among college kids.
You're missing the dissonance part: all the people around me, who are high risk, are at work or school. I am classed as low risk (= no booster) yet I'm perma-WFH. If it's not about me, what is it about?

Also to clarify, I'm very much NOT arguing for forcing people to return to work or an in-person model of work. In fact, I quite like the "remote style" of work and would continue it even while in person. I just miss my commute and the scene.
>so ultralight pilots who would love to be flying clean electric aircraft are using unreliable two-stroke engines that spew incomplete combustion products like there's no tomorrow.

This is such a total non-issue, any effort at all spent on this would be better spent on almost any other target from a climate standpoint.
It has decreased, but let's say halving a timing within 20-25 years is not exactly the kind of progress people intuitively associate with semiconductors.

What has decreased quite a lot though is the time to transfer, which is of course stacked on top of CL. CPUs always have to fetch a full cache line (usually 64 bytes), and the time to get 64 bytes out of memory has more than halved each generation.
Show HN: A 5/3/1 Program Generator I made
Hi, I'm Gab. You maybe remember me from such previous posts like the 5/3/1 app I made [1] or probably not.

I've been meaning to try out ReactJS for a while since I've only used AngularDart while working at Google. So for the past two weeks I've been working on a web calculator for 5/3/1, which you can find in the post's link.

I started doing 5/3/1 about 2 years ago using the Black Iron Beast web calculator and was never quite happy with that tool. And though I've been using my own app instead for a while now, building a web version has been a good exposure to the modern web ecosystem. The good, the bad and the madness of some of it.

In any case, I'm excited to share and hope that it's useful for someone here! I plan on updating it with more templates in the near future and maybe add some paid feature at some point.

Cheers

Thanks. I hope everyone still refusing Covid vaccines enjoys their time with the disease.
Slippery wet leaves on bicycle/pedestrian paths are also a health hazard. Had an ugly spill once trying to turn my bicycle on a path with wet leaves, the front tire turned in the direction I wanted but kept sliding straight ahead.

Wet leaves don't help automobile traction, either, but at least no one seems to be calling for banning diesel-fume belching street sweeping trucks. Enlightened journalists are only calling for effectively banning economical leaf removal of narrower pathways used by pedestrians and bicyclists.
or, as I've been suggested, "image-based development" (even though a CL implementation must not be image-based, but most are).
I think he meant this quote:

"Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. [...] If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second."
Honestly not as much as you would think. I'm running off (beefy) consumer grade hardware. Granted, I have designed it with space efficiency in mind.
> No, you're completely missing my point.

The fact that you've changed your point is not lost on me. My discussion point was originally levied against your original paragraph:

> Which makes sense considering that aerosolized particles are around 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than pore sizes in cotton and surgical masks, putting such masks in the realm of security theatre.

But sure. I'll play along and pretend that your new "particles act like fluids" statement is what you were saying all along.

> Because exhaling into a mask redirects the fluidlike stream upwards where it lingers for longer. Breathing unmasked directs the stream straight ahead/down.

Then this should be easily demonstrated with a study that shows that masking increases the COVID19 infection rate. Do you have such a study available? (And if you know anything about the mask debate over the past two years, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this)

At a minimum, I've already forced you to admit that cloth masks redirect the flows of COVID19, when originally you claimed that the particles were too small to be effectively filtered.
OK, so you disagree with assertions because you ride an illegal vehicle. And want...what? Your use case to be taken as standard? Or for people to understand there are lunatics on the road?

We know :)

(to be fair and charitable: I agree that moving with traffic is, everything else equal, safer than not moving with traffic. But everything else is NOT equal - I am not convinced you have the weight [i.e. centre of gravity, inertia, ability to absorb bumps, etc], maneuverability, traction, braking power, and as you point out insurance or license and possibly training, and possibly protective systems as other vehicles moving at the same speed)
I'm doing 40 kph, not mph, big difference there.

Power two weight is very modest, it's only a 350 W motor in there for this one.

My history with accidents is simple: I was cycling on a low racer recumbent and hit a traffic obstacle at a very unfortunate angle. Shit happens. But this bike is about 100x times safer than that recumbent. And a lot slower too, in spite of being assisted, low racers are very fast for unpowered bikes.
> But we're pretty much a rounding error for the duopoly that owns the desktop OS market.

We are a rounding error when it comes to casual usage; but in the pro segment and especially for coding, Linux usage seems nontrivial.

According to Wikipedia [1], Linux had 2.33% share in laprop/desktop OS. But in a SO survey 25% of programmers picked Linux.

Thermal neutrons move at approximately 2000 m/s, with a half life of about 612 seconds. Decay is a non issue but scattering does put some limits (mean free path of a 14 MeV neutron in air is about 140 meters), though if your goal is just to get a signal through a wall you don't need particularly long range.
If you go back to the comment that sparked this discussion, the issue is not that people were not allowed to "talk first".

Someone assessed that a particular anecdote was not reprentative of the majority. They could be wrong there, but instead of challenging that assessment, or "move on", some people jumped on the conclusion that the intention was hostile.
I'm unvaccinated, been working from the office the entire time, not planning to get it. As a healthy, young man, with healthy vitamin D levels, the risk of getting noticeable symptoms, let alone ending up in a hospital, is a nice round 0 (I ran the numbers, there were 0 such cases worldwide). I have also never been tested, or subject to any limitations regarding this status.
The main flaw in this formula is that when positive=0 the negative votes have no weight.
People can't build new containers with the appropriate binaries?
The last I heard, docker was around 2x slower than Intel macs and that performance was already pretty bad.

I don't really care about power efficiency tbh, I'm plugged into the wall all day
So if I understand that correctly, then the TypeScript compiler source consists of ca. 250.000 lines of code (LoC). According to the video, the scanner has ca. 2.600 LoC (~1%) and the parser has ca. 9.000 LoC (less than 4%), so in total scanner and parser together need ca. 5% of the entire codebase… Ok.

Yet over the years I have collected ca. 30 books about compilers and a lot of them talk way more about scanners and parsers (up to 70%). You go figure…
One probably does not want the raw agarics without passing through a reindeer bladder first. Which is why Santa has 7 of em! Always found this metaphor quite funny.
I'm a biker too. I have more time for biking now that I'm not in the office - I can hop on the bike and choose a route in the morning before I start my day, or in the early evening after work is done.

If anything, not being in the office should give you more time to exercise in the way you want to.
"Many conversations would be far clearer if it were abandoned in favour of more precise language, IMPUOTDF"... um whats IMPUOTDF?
I did try to google it, but only this post was found.
I'm not a big fan of GraphQL, admittedly, but have used and understand it well enough and see where it shines.

What bothers me today is that so much usage seems to just be resume padding. Seems every time FAANG releases or talks about a tool that solves issues at their scale, everyone jumps to use it without thinking about whether it's necessary or even a good fit.
You thinking that the stores pay, not the customer is part of the problem. The fees are just hidden from you. The cost of business of higher and so are the prices.
