This is true. You also can't discount advocating for your product. If you want funding you have to show it off at times. Per the original argument the demonstration teams wouldn't exist. They serve no military purpose if you forget about recruiting and promotion.
You don't get a lot of practice at the limit of the flight envelope in an SR71 for the same reasons crane operators don't do a ton of heavy picks in high winds. It's not worth the risk to the equipment.

Seems a bit much. Typing commands never went away. And the population of Sublime users must be a negligible fraction of all software users.

I’d say things of the scale of machine learning have been more defining features of this decade’s software.
Their voters definitely believe the talking points of the “states rights” position

You put a line of text in the mobile UI that says "To see tooltips, press and hold on a button."

You can stop showing that line of text once they've shown a tooltip (or two, if you're worried about them triggering it accidentally and not knowing how they did it).
I’ve been looking at doing something similar and the best advice I’ve found is from a local agricultural school and some local businesses that supply native plants in your area.
The consolidation of ski resorts by just a few companies (e.g. Vail), and the creation of the Epic Pass has dramatically increased affordability and access. Just a few years ago a trip to Vail was a big deal; now it's an easy weekend trip for anyone with Southwest Rapid Rewards and an Epic Pass.
The people who live there are the ones who can afford to own a second home that sits vacant much of the year.

You really think people that well off are going to cook food to sell? -And- drive it (since who else is going to drive the Amazon or Uber Eats vehicles) until self-driving, on mountain roads, becomes a reality?
If I were to try to remember code, or try to remember a photograph, or try to remember how to get to the closest Super-Market, it's all structured in my mind in the same way. I might remember details, but only if I have paid attention to those details and understand why those things are important to remember. If those details happened to be based on visual details, I would use that, but it is no way close to the same amount of details of a photograph.

I think the best way to answer this might be for you to imagine what a blind person imagines when they take a trip.
> The newspapers reported on the problem: it was so hard to find affordable housing in town that there weren’t enough people left to work in town.

That's the problem. Lack of housing. Not popularisation. The article writer don't decry the popularisation in the article though geephroh does.
Congress only has collective power, no individual can wage war etc. Yet it’s only the president that has any term limits that’s the opposite of what we should be doing if you’re worried about loose cannons.

~20 year term limits aren’t going to see most members of congress in their last term. However, it would still have real impacts as people aren’t going to end up nearly as complacent. We have 3 members that are currently in office for 40+ years and many on track to reach that point very soon.
I mean it really depends on what the oncall looks like. If your system breaks every 5 minutes or you have other teams escalating non-urgent tasks constantly then 1 week on call seems crazy. But there are many companies (mine included) where on-call basically means: If services go down you have to figure out why. No bug fixing etc. Oncall purely from a infrastructure perspective.

A very common problem with Consumer Reports. Very. They also never make that shitty data's origins easily available for critique.

> Put against that there's the other option of "maybe there might have been one extra country".

That 'extra country' would have all the things you describe, possibly without the check of the Free States on them to eventually apply pressure to get rid of slavery.

There was even a possibility of improvement: was it Andrew Johnson that cut a deal to allow the slavers back into power?
Monitoring Public Facebook pages? A very painful process. Facebook requires a login to view a public pages -- and most public offices like governments post content exclusively on Facebook so as things stand, you have to have an account on Facebook to access government communication, which is plain sad.
I do not remember any good tool to access Facebook pages. If you get one (rss-hub), it breaks in a week after Facebook changes their API endpoints.

If you have one, let me know.
Like I said, it's technically possible and that is (outside a very small number of well-defined outliers like OpenGL) entirely irrelevant in terms of whether it's practically possible. Even if we rewrote every library now to have mechanisms to make this easier, it wouldn't help for any of the older versions that don't do this and which are already deployed everywhere.
Is it just possible that the workflow of a power user has changed now while still retaining the core value of finding smart and efficient ways to get work done? Some examples that come to mind:

The productivity industry is huge. Pop into the YouTube rabbit hole of people demonstrating how to use tools to be more productive, and you’ll stumble into a community that is bending every tool to basically serve their personal approach to life. The effectiveness of that is debatable but these are people who are absolutely pushing apps to their edge. A lot of them are mobile tap-only people too. But they also satisfy the condition of learning lots of smart and efficient ways of using their tools.

Content creators. Especially younger ones. I’m floored by the kinds of videos younger people, aged 16-23, are making by pushing the limits of their mobile devices to create engaging content. And I’m not even talking about the ones who make use of multiple tools across both laptops and smart phones. I’m just thinking of the people who will combine a few apps with the native functionality of something like TikTok and they create high effort content that is representative of someone who has taken the time to learn smart and efficient ways to get their work done. Again, the value of the output can be debated all day. But I think it’s obvious how far people are pushing their tool sets.

There are probably other groups I don’t know of because of my bubble, but I do think the above groups show that power users are alive and well even if they look different than they did in the past.
I support this lateral-thinking approach of finding a Great Compromise, and I think it just needs a slight alteration to make it more palatable to both sides, and to harness the logic and tradition of federalism. So how about this:

If the amendment passes, then each state can decide for itself at what point (from conception to birth) human life begins, and decide for itself what constitutes a well-regulated militia.

In effect, this means that some states could choose to have no (legal) abortions, and others could choose to have no (legal) private gun ownership, but they wouldn't be allowed to punish people for travelling to a different state for an abortion or to fire a gun.

Even with such a change in the laws, the number of abortions and gun crimes probably wouldn't change very much, but the real benefit would be reducing the level of political tribalism when it comes to the presidency, and hopefully allowing some nuance into the primaries and election campaigns.
first of all, trading guns for abortion isn't much like the 3/5ths compromise to begin with; it's just wrapping two unrelated issues into the same deal. that doesn't seem more stable than compromising on the issues individually (eg, "you can own guns as long as they don't look too scary" and "you can have abortions, but only up to the yth trimester).

second, the only thing the 3/5ths compromise really settled was the balance of power between slave states and free states, and only temporarily. that balance was continually perturbed during western expansion and we eventually fought a war over it. AFAIK, it was probably necessary for the US to exist at all, but it doesn't seem that "great" in retrospect.

It is time to revise this in my opinion. Just because I am in prison does not mean you can require me to work. If you can't afford to feed, clothe, house, and provide necessary medical services, release me. The fact that the state of Texas can deny air conditioning to inmates (when the temperature is ought to be enough for the US to require Texas to release all inmates in those conditions. How can states that are arguably in direct violation of basic human rights still have representation in the union is beyond me.

» Refusing to install air conditioning is a matter not just of short-term cost savings, but of appearing tough on crime. State and local governments go to astonishing lengths to avoid installing air conditioning in prisons. In 2016, Louisiana spent over $1 million in legal bills in an attempt to avoid installing air conditioning on death row, an amount four times higher than the actual cost of installing air conditioning, according to an expert witness. Similarly, in 2014, the people of Jefferson Parish, LA only voted to build a new jail after local leaders promised there would be no air conditioning.

It isn't just Texas. Prisoners throughout the country are malnourished and starving. It costs way too much to make a phone call so much so that public libraries offer assistance with phone calls.

Democracy should not mean tyranny of the majority. I don't understand how this is controversial. If states and local governments are in violation of the constitution, they should automatically lose representation in the union.
I’ll address only a couple of points, but am sceptical of the relevance of most of it for roadworthiness certification.

In at least AU/NZ/US, I believe crash testing is only required for production vehicles above a certain number of units produced. Prototypes and experimental (one-off) vehicles don’t require it.

> So ugly that even hurts my eyes.

I would be deeply amused if this could actually be presented as grounds for disqualifying roadworthiness because it’s so intensely subjective and opinion-based.
That’s your thought and unfortunately it lines with the parroting by exploitative managers. But if I’m on call and expected to reply to that call whenever the bell rings I’m working all these hours and days no matter how rarely or frequently that bell rings.

On the other hand if it’s that less crucial for your company, 2-3 times a year without much monetary impact to warrant dedicated staff, I’m sure it can wait until necessary working morning just fine.

It’s not whether I’m being utilised or not, it’s that I’m being required to project my availability!

"I'm not advocating either position" sounds like you are referring to abortion and gun rights. I didn't read it as applying to the 3/5th compromise itself.

1865-1965 saw more than 1 amendment per decade which was a pretty good clip IMO, churning enough that the 21st was to repeal the 18th for example. It has only really been the last 50 years it slowed down with the long proposed and relatively minor 27th amendment catching a second wind of state approvals. Not the longest dry spell either, the early 1800s also had a 50ish year void.
I looked up Ebola to see if it has changed over time [0] and it looks like nada, since outbreaks are generally zoonotic, which means that the viral mutation-selection happens outside humans. Of note is Ebola's relation to Marburg, which was imported to Europe with Uganda-sourced lab monkeys.

Two large outbreaks that occurred simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967, led to the initial recognition of the disease. The outbreak was associated with laboratory work using African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) imported from Uganda. Subsequently, outbreaks and sporadic cases have been reported in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, South Africa (in a person with recent travel history to Zimbabwe) and Uganda. In 2008, two independent cases were reported in travellers who had visited a cave inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies in Uganda. [1]

Clay soil's definitely not gonna work for thyme, it's way too wet and nutrient-dense. You could try double-digging to remediate it, but that could possibly lead to other issues.

Here's some links I found for ground cover plants good for clay: https://gardening.stackexchange.com/a/7665 https://gardentabs.com/ground-cover-plants-for-clay-soil/

As for where to get stuff, search for plant nurseries near you. They may not be tech-savvy so you might have to use the old-fashioned technique of wandering around and asking people (anyone who works in dirt: farmers, gardeners/landscapers, contractors). They will know your local environment and what works best for it and can order plants and seeds for you.

> The article simply says that the best laptop in the market can't have 16gb of maximum available RAM. Which is true.

False, Air is NOT the 'best'; that is the Pro, urm Pro-Max or whatever marketing verbiage Apple is spitting out now.

Air is the low-end model, so makes sense to make it 16Gb max (though that config is /hard/ to find retail). Reports say that M1-native code uses less memory, & memory usage is fast & efficient. So safe to say 16Gb with M1 ~= 20Gb Intel. So a 16Gb M1 Air is great /value/ machine, but not 'best'.

1st gen M1 Pro with max 16Gb, that was poor decision making IMHO.

If they can ship bare operating systems and bundled versions, as the purchaser requests, it would be useful to many people and for many use cases. I would be more interested in a bare bones Windows personally/professionally.

Whether it created a wider market for the basic apps I don't know. But it wouldn't hurt it.

I don't know where the line should be drawn, but giving purchasers the choice seems like a good principle to apply wherever it is drawn.
Our company does that. Each person in the support team has one week on call. The following week they get the Friday off, and they get some extra compensation in addition just for being on call. Overtime if they have to work of course.

Only customers who pay a lot for it have true 24/7, most who pay extra have extended support from IIRC 06-22.

If they can't sort it out, support will try as best they can to work around issues as to not disturb us devs until next morning. I've been woken at most once a year.

Most support folks do say it can be a bit stressful at times, on the other hand they also really enjoy the extended weekend so nobody's been keen to change it.

Part of why it's so useful to do a full week at a time, rather than rotate intra-week, is that whoever's on call needs to have a small purse full of token generators for 2-factor logins, and we typically only get one to share. If they don't have the token they can't help our customer.

So many fond memories with this set. I mustve assembled and disassembled it dozens of times from elementary school to college.

But most of all it fed my own inventions and experimentation with parts. I knew them almost all by heart.

I think the coolest build it fed were the 6 or 7 generations of crash test cars I built to “study” how car crashes work and how to build a car that’s safe. The satisfaction you get from building a crash car to the latest design from memory then smash it into the wall from across the living room. Man that was fun.

One day I tried a rollover test and the custom wheel hub pieces broke. Now I can never rebuild the 8880 set again … sad

I wonder if the new Bugatti build comes close to the awesomeness of the 8880? Been thinking of getting that to relive some fond memories
If you’re worried about the parties selecting yes men to fill seats then at a mandatory primary. As it stands with gerrymandering we are already in a situation where people get selected by the party and sent to congress without any meaningful voting by the general public. Look up how many congressional seats don’t have any opposition running at all, that’s the antithesis of democracy.
Thanks for the info, I don't care about old kernels but apt that does't work is really ridiculous, the kernel is much older than I thought it would be.

>The software doesn't suck; you have an actual hope for getting updates and things working nicely.

I would also say this is also not true, the software sucks, the hope of getting things working nicely is the same as hoping an device sold with outdated chromebook hardware sold as a new device from a linux hardware seller that sold them without a functional operating system will work with today's modern applications.
>So make empty houses (and AirBnB's) illegal (aka super taxed out the wazzoo).
