You are showing consumer electronics in the first one, and attempting to argue that this is how icons on the MacOS and iOS looked during skeumorphism.

The whole trend to do away with Skeumorphism led to things like Google’s Chrome browser having an empty white area where you apparently have to know you should tap to type the URL. It is still there on iOS.

Because showing browser chrome as slightly 3D is apparently “too skeumorphic” and distracting — better not to know where the website begins and ends lol
FWIW, my 2019 plug-in Prius has worked out well for me. It has a little over 25 mile electric range, and when the battery is out it switches to gas. My commute to the office is short so I can make it to work and back on a single charge, and if I happen to need to make a detour I just burn a little gas.

The caveat here is the short commute. If my commute were significantly longer the 25 mile electric range wouldn't amount to much and the weight of the empty battery would negate its benefits.

Of course none of this justifies an $8 monthly charge for basic functionality, which is frankly outrageous. I have no intention of subscribing to this service.
Yes, it’s good that they changed the default now. But it’s still a design mistake that they can’t distinguish between the log pattern, log message format and logging parameters. If you turn it on, it’s turned on on everything, because the substitution is performed as the last step.
A Carmaker’s $23 Billion Plan To Keep You Paying Long After You’ve Bought Your Car

Your comment isn’t coherent. The homeless haven’t been forced into the cities. They chose to go there and the cities chose to welcome them.
macOS and iOS for one are far more consistent and un-busy than they were from 2000—2014 or so. Apple had poor visual design discipline and deployed multiple styles across their apps and OS, many of them garish and cluttered. Also, you replied to a post yearning for skeuomorphic icons and bemoaning the clean shapes of today, which contradicts your point 2.
If said information has any staying power, it would continue to propagate which is the original definition of a meme. Saying that it can't be obtained anywhere else implies it's not as important.

Many word have trick. Make see different than few word.
The seriously overpriced accessories they sell is probably part of the reasons non-apple customers tend to assume this. Like they have a few accessories that cost about 10x more than pretty good quality third party alternatives, and often more than double what it costs for literally better build quality third party alternatives.

And I'm not talking about the accessories that have enough active electronics to possibly justify it (pencil, or airpods), but things like cases, wheels, stands, dongles, etc.

Apple accessories very much are trying to nickel and dime people (on top of hardware that is already quite expensive), so it is unsurprising that people would (mistakenly) assume that Apple would try to do the same with digital subscriptions.

The title on the article, "Kintsugi – Art of Repair" is different than the title in the submission.

Came in to (also) say that kintsugi isn't about making things better, but more about the acceptance of the damage as part of the item's history which is sorta beautiful and poetic in its own way.
that is very cool, i didnt know there was a word for it. i remember when i was a boy i would take apart random electronics that my dad gave to me. it was so fun, i tell you what, if someone created a store like how they have make and paint your own pottery stores but for taking apart, rebuilding, or freshly assembling electronics like my dad coached me with, i think it would be very popular and also help peak interest in electronics. kinda like build a bear but build a bot/radio/computer/basic tv or whatever

If this is how std::optional worked, hardly anyone would use it.
Right. Prior to social media, people were vetted many ways and in every context in which they gained an audience. (e.g. earned standing in social settings and community groups, promotions at work, editors of one sort or another when publishing to a group, etc) Audiences grew incrementally as people earned their audience. Social media removed all that vetting and it inverted the criteria to grow an audience. Sensationalism was rewarded over thoughtfulness. So one of the most important tools we've always relied on to judge information was removed. Hard to believe, as intelligent as these folks at Facebook/Meta are said to be, that they don't understand this. Feels disingenuous.

What's wrong with XML? It has its flaws, but so do JSON, YAML, and all the other formats.

I very well know about Tragedy of Commons.

Property Rights, the bedrock of capitalism, if properly enforced, by penalizing individuals/corps that pollutes/destroys someone else's (including public) property, takes care of most governmental action that is needed.

I read the first three and have mixed feelings about them. They're creative and well executed. The stories are definitely captivating. But particularly in the later books the author's religious views come out and start coloring things in a way that personally I find a turn off.

I feel the same way about the Honor Harrington series, which is basically a riff on redoing Horatio Hornblower in space. The books are quite engaging if you like the gimmick, but the author is a conservative monarchist (in the UK sense) and it comes through pretty strong in most of the books. In the later ones he balances it out a bit though, so I'd guess he's grappling with some view changes of his own.
Carbon tax works fine if politians are willing to stick to it.

First set some goals and make sure that those goals need to be met. For example, 0 net CO2 emissions in 2050, 50% less than 1990 emissions in 2030.

Then announce that each year, CO2 tax will be set to have effect. I.e., plot how to go from today to 2050, how much CO2 emission is allowed for each year and an estimate what to CO2 tax will be.

The CO2 can just be a general tax, and income tax can be reduced to compensate. No need for the government to spend all of it on new technology. Of course, some programs to develop markets may help.

When CO2 costs are more or less predictable, companies will quickly figure out ways to avoid CO2 emissions.

There is one big if, if the government cannot find a way to grand permits for green energy, transmission of green energy, etc. then the standard of living may quickly go down.

I fully expect that, assuming we get to autonomous driving someday, either the system or the entire car will only be available as subscription services. It just won't work any other way given the manufacturer will be on the hook for the proper maintenance and updating of a safety critical system.

And it probably applies even more broadly as things that were historically just hardware have an increasingly large software component.
About 4 years ago I started looking for a privacy-friendly way to keep track of my money across different accounts.

While searching, I found Plain Text Accounting [1], which means keeping financial records inside plain-text files. This method really appealed to the developer in me and I started digging deeper.

4 years later, I now have a stable workflow using Beancount [2] that lets me import all my financial activity into a plain-text file that lives inside a git repository on my disk. Needless to say, I'm super happy with this workflow!

So this ebook is my attempt at helping more folks get into the world of PTA and Beancount! In my experience, the documentation can be a bit tricky to get into, so I hope this ebook lowers the barrier to entry!

Open to answering questions!

> there was no employment to be had

Employment is a policy failure. Likely "not well thought out" if it didn't work as intended :)

California and its policies have created an ton of jobs. So many jobs that theres not enough space to put the people who work those jobs. Much of Silicon Valley in the 50s was farmland. Why hasn't every other rural town transformed into the economic powerhouse of the 21st century? Could it be (partially) policy decisions?

The disturbing things about the social media bans on lab leak reporting are:

1) DOE LLNL reported it was a possible lab leak in May 2020.

2) A Chinese virologist defected to the US in late 2020 and all of her interviews were deleted, though I saw her fotos and summaries before the deletions.

3) NTD Media started reporting in early 2020 and has been persecuted by US socials at every turn since then. All of their reports have turned out to be factual. Only Sky Australia have had most of their reports not censored.

So there was plenty of early lab leak info, but it was virtually all censored.
Where in the US are you referring to? I know it's available, but I can't say I've ever seen it for sale in a large grocery store. I've only seen it at farmers markets or similar small farm ventures.

I run a business and I absolutely would fire a customer for being needlessly rude to an employee. If they're angry at the employee they can direct their 'feedback' to me. But yeah this 'the customer is always right' chunk of American culture needs to die- abusing employees is not 'feedback', nor is it acceptable
I can't believe I had to read this far down to find someone making this point. Exactly! There's nothing wrong with a subscription-based feature at all. Lots of people would love the ability to price-discriminate ("Do we actually need remote start? Is it worth $8/mo?").

The ethics problem here isn't the subscription at all, it's with the clear and good faith communication of what the product is to which the user is subscribing.

In this particular case, it seems like the Toyota Remote Connect service was sold and marketed as a phone app, but when terminated it also removes the capability of remote starting the car over local radio (probably bluetooth I guess) from the key fob, which no one seems to have known was part of the product in the first place. That's bad, if so.

(But to be fair, a better article would track down some Toyota owners for quotes about what they were told, and maybe a copy of the original license agreement. This coverage from Ars is IMHO a little weak.)

Thank you for that correction.

You’re right that Cliff made a time zone error, which consequently undermines at least some of my points. The lead time was still fairly significant (and there were other indications that enhanced monitoring of the situation was warranted), but that certainly isn’t the same as 2.5 hours’ worth of advanced notice!

Thanks again for catching that.
Compat 2021 Holiday Update: presents for developers before the end of the year
That might very well justify some fee, but $8/month is excessive if one only cares about remote start.

I went down this rabbit hole the other night and found a German Blu-ray receiver T+A K8[0] from 2012 that supports the HDMI Ethernet Channel. I have not found, however, the other piece of equipment that I can only suspect may be be some sort of HDMI IP injector.

I fixed the above and added an edited note.

I originally erroneously calculated $80 + $80 + $80 + $35 mixing up "per year" on the first three with "per month" on the last. It should be $80 + $80 + $80 + $420 or $660 per year.

Toyota charges $8 per month or $80 for an annual subscription[0].

I tried to use this once in a theatre to connect a camera watching the stage to a greenroom backstage. It worked sometimes, but was super unreliable. Latency was often several hundred milliseconds, and sometimes the image would just straight up disappear. It may be that we had bad HDMI<->Ethernet devices, but that’s the thing: It’s not a “works or doesn’t” kind of thing, it’s a “varies with the quality of all the devices in the chain” kind of thing.

The Philippine government was clearly combating disinformation from online foreign-backed conspiracy theorists.

This is such a sleazy game to play, and it looks to be getting more popular as corporations realize the average consumer just accepts it. Zero Motorcycles, the longest-standing electric motorcycle manufacturer, has announced for their 2022 flagship models that things like battery capacity and charge rate will be gated behind one-time in-app purchases, which is mind-boggling. Having to lug around batteries you can't charge to full capacity on a bike, where space and weight are at a premium, actually makes the product worse if you don't pay the rent. Hoping this strategy blows up in their face, but all indications suggest it's going to be lucrative and the angry minority will just have to eat it.
I agree. Just because T* has problems in some contexts doesn't mean optional<T&> should be used in all context.

Talmud is not theological learning, it is mostly the discussions leading to the coded law, so a bit like a combination of law and logic reasoning. As previous comments mentioned, women can study ethics and the bible which is more theological in nature.
What you are looking for are generally sold as "large format displays". Basically tvs for commercial purposes that do not have any of that crap. Most projector manufacturers, even the consumer ones, have also been good about avoiding "smart" features.

I use remote start when it's really cold. I thought that was the whole point of the feature (When the regular gasoline heater isn't enough, it can also run itself warm for a few minutes).
I grew up with Windows 98 (and before, DOS), so I knew pretty well both w9x and GNUStep under Debian Woody. Both look equally well.
Disclosure: I work for GM, anything here is solely my own opinion.

Different revenue to a different organization inside the OEM. When you sell a $20k car, you get maybe $1k in profit, maybe less. If you can get $8 monthly recurring revenue you get maybe $7 in profit. Also consider that the lifetime is not 5 years. The AVERAGE age of cars on the road now is over 12 years. My parents drive 20 year old cars.

Also consider the friction to cancel. Maybe you get a few more months of revenue with someone sells the car or after it gets scrapped.

To be clear, I am not arguing in favor of this kind of thing at all.
OK, I found part of the problem. I resurrected my old setup and switched to using fio (was using iozone and some others). When you specify --filename= in fio but have multiple jobs, they are all sharing the same file (https://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html). So instead of 28 jobs reading 28 distinct files, you have reading the same file 28 times. So even when dropping the buffer-cache, reboot clean, etc. etc. before the benchmark, this is 27 times a test of the read caches and 1 time a test of the actual disk, which will obviously seriously inflate the results. I'm thinking --directory= would be the best option.

I also did the following to drop (most) cached data before the test:

sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; zpool export $pool; zpool import $pool
They had 2 day warning that the weather system was likely to produce tornadoes.

Comment say that Mayfield had about 2.5 hours of warning based on this blog:
https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-critical-gap-in-tor...

If you look at the area encompassed by the tornado watch, should they have evacuated it in it's entirety?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEji0sqQJqWo...

Look about 300mi x 170mi area. If you take Jones burro as the center, its 120mi to the edge, technically if everyone could evacuate at 60mph you could get everyone out in 2 hours.... but with NWS tornado warnings have a False Alarm Rate (FAR) of roughly 70% you probably won't get that many people to evacuate at all unless you make it mandatory. Then it will take much longer than 2 hours to get people out.

You are talking about massive areas with small amounts of time:

is roughly 430 square miles for something that is small and fast moving.
Ownership is evaporating due to technology and a lack of viable alternatives. The idea is to make personal ownership more expensive and trouble that it's worth (monetize misery) so that manufacturers can run their own FSD car sharing fleet so they can charge you whatever they want. Rent-seeking, oligopoly FTW.
Indeed. I was around at the time this was considered beautiful. I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now. I guess not sharing the same taste or fanboyism is offensive. Good thing you weren't flagged. The night is young though

Edit: case in point haha. The squad is working overtime to protect the precious from evil non positive words
They're not great for long roadtrips, but they would be fine for weekend or short trips to places with charging. For example, from where I live to the coast is about 80 miles, and many of the coastal cities have at least L2 and some L3 charging. This would be fine with many of these cars. You might not need to charge at all with some of them.
It's more interesting to debate subject and preferences where there is not already an overwhelming amount of evidence that one side is wrong.

Fair. Perhaps a tad extreme but fair.

My favourite, and I kinda miss it, was a neat little hack/exploit of a new Windows feature in 95/NT4 + PowerToys. It gained a new option to stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen resolution.

If you set the wallpaper to a tiny 2x3 BMP -- literally just a rectangle of 6 differently-coloured pixels -- then in its efforts to scale that, it turned the background into a cool smooth set of blends, just a wash of gradients.

It was attractive but totally undistracting, and a ~6 byte wallpaper file took an extremely small amount of RAM. :-)

Eventually, if I remember correctly, it got "fixed" and the scaling algorithm recognised sharply differing pixel colours and scaled them into GIIIAAANNNT PIIIXEEELLLS. :-(
