I think a lot of people take this approach of recording everything (or at least try to once the idea of recording meetings is available), but you really need to think about whether it’s going to solve the problem you think you have. Having a full recording of everything implies that at some point you have to actually process the content (take notes, etc.), and you’re really just setting yourself up for taking double the amount of time than it would if proper notes were taken in the first place. You seem to be aspiring to use a techie solution to this, but would it really work in practice, and be worth the effort?

Consider that 99.9% of people are able to function pretty well without having to refer back to a full recording of every meeting they’ve ever had. What’s their secret? They just pay attention and take notes the first time through.

Is it possible you have some very specific requirements that no one else does? Maybe, but I’ve landed on the idea that this a really a form of procrastination — where the “paying attention” part of the process is being pushed off until sometime later, and really just makes more work in the long run.
does it really matter? you have a choice to get the vaccine.

i think these numbers should end the pandemic completely. we have a virus that’s contagious. if you take available medicine it won’t kill you. that’s baseline where we were 2 years ago
Ah, you're saying that's now the McRib?
If someone is on downward trajectory towards death, why not give them cheap generics at human safe doses? Aren't physicians supposed to do risk benefit analyses? Sure they can feel the odds of benefit are slim to none but if the risk is slim to none as well, why not let them have what they ask for?

Also the doctor made no mention of other therapeutics that do have more expert consensus of helping like monoclonal antibodies or fluvoxamine. I'm sorry to hear that they have decide to leave medicine and that they were assaulted. Violence is never called for. That said, it's unclear if all tools in the current tool belt were used in this patient's case.

i totally get that it's anecdotal. my point is more about just allowing people the opportunity to try therapeutics especially ones that have been proven to help in many cases like monoclonal antibodies or have little to no risk of harm.

How trivial does a change have to be that a subsecond compile time is offensive? The IDE takes longer than the terminal and is much less consistent. Anyhow, if this crowd truly exists then this is the tool for them, these optimizations seem to be simply for something to do rather than a real development issue in my opinion
Having it as an out is doing it wrong and totally missing the point. It's a framework for understanding yourself/the patient, and how they behave, and not as an excuse for poor behavior. That's not to deny that some people certainly use it that way, but anything, including treatment plans, can be misused.
I honestly quite like this. Was looking for a quick way to store and transmit some small images both with and without alpha information without having to bring in a relatively large dependency like libpng and still have a modicum of compression. Having the whole thing in a single file without any external dependencies is quite cool.

I especially appreciate that the spec is concise (yet clear) enough to fit on a single page and I was able to code a full encoder/decoder that generated bit-for-bit identical results to the reference implementation in just over an hour just by reading that spec.
Obviously there are generic solutions without the PCB alignment holes (and aren't patented), if you need something along those lines.

Although I think clips are roughly the same price if you go that route as well.
The fact that any books would have to be copied by hand would disastrously limit their spread and influence. How many people could learn calculus if only 5 copies of the textbook were created?

So many being lost is an inevitable consequence of very very few copies ever existing.
I wish someone would do the analysis of the loss of quality of life/child development/etc. vs lives saved.

Policies (especially in Quebec) seem to be cyclical react-to-what-you-see, with little thinking for the long run. What's the plan? Do we have one?
>whether the transaction has tax relevance,

It is almost always a matter of the account having tax relevance, not each individual transaction that involves that account.

> the only way to represent that expense in strict double book is to have 2 accounts for (Repairs_Tax, Repairs_Notax)

There are very few accounts that need to be split like that for tax purposes. Meals & entertainment are one such (although the tax laws about that change from year to year sometimes), and maybe the part of dues to a professional organization that are for political lobbying purposes. It's really not a problem at least in the U.S. tax code.

And note, as I previously commented, it is quite common for a business to have at minimum two sets of books, one for tax and one for book (the company's own internal representation of its financial position).

>[T-accounts] just seem to be a visual method to represent negative numbers

T-accounts are an instructional tool, they are not used for actual production accounting purposes. And they don't represent negative numbers, they illustrate a journal entry's effect on the general ledger accounts. Therefore, there is no need to include a date attribute. Rest assured, in a real double-entry system, every single debit and credit is date-stamped.

Using tools like 1Password and Bitwarden to manage your OTP codes, while arguably better than not using OTP at all, is a bad idea.

If you password for $service is exposed in a dump then you're ok but if your password manager is exposed then both factors of credentials are exposed. Using a separate app is definitely more secure.

You can use Google Authenticator without being a Google user, but Authy is another pretty reputable app which might be worth a look.
Please don't do this. It's so painfully obvious when people do this and it's an awful experience for everyone involved when you get caught.

I never said nowhere else is harsh, I just strongly object to arguing the desert is not a harsh environment.

My parents are in the midwest which is where I lived into my 20s, and my dad did a lot of DIY maintenance on their house which I helped with. There was no comparison in terms of how quickly things deteriorated there vs. here in the Mojave where I have property. The "15-year" Behr brand exterior paint I put on a refinished shed ~2 years ago is already cracking and peeling off, simply because the substrate undergoes such extreme thermal expansion and contraction daily between the day-night cycle, with the UV quickly embrittling the skin.

The main problem we had back in IL was ice-heaving of roads and patios/sidewalks. But asphalt-shingled roofs easily lasted over a decade, barring some exceptional tornado-style event ripping them apart. Asphalt shingles quickly become embrittled in the desert, and the frequent gale-force winds break them off. It's why you find Terracotta/slate/metal roofs so common in the desert; the environment is too harsh for the cheaper asphalt shingle stuff you find across the country.

And it's not like deserts don't get freezing temps or snowfall. My last camping trip in Joshua Tree National Park concluded with my tent collapsing on me under a snow load.
It doesn’t need to be a big area. In war, a single town can be cut off from supplies for months or years.
It's a "job" whether a lot of board members take it as seriously as they should or not. I'm (unpaid) on the board of a non-profit. But, yes, presumably if a CxO gets an offer to sit on the board of a major company, especially one in the same industry, they would seek the approval of their own board.
Omicron hasn't been out very long. But it has been out long enough to demonstrate that 2-doses are weak but the 3rd booster dose helps a lot.

The question is whether or not this factoid has spread amongst the citizens yet, or if misinformation has gotten ahead of it again. I see a lot of anti-vax propaganda / anti-vax talking points being repeated verbatim in my circle of friends, suggesting that unfortunately, misinformation once again dominates the discussion.

But yes, perhaps no amount of time can fix the fact that so many of us are plugged into misinformation systems and propaganda.

an idea - "Cloud free" label for hardware similar to "GMO free" for food
The BSOD is kind of actually the opposite in reality. The software is worse, the hardware is better, so we are running more software to containerize those bugs. Software is more buggy and bloated than in the past it's just that the failures are silent and we don't have to reboot the entire system we just reboot pieces.

It may not be useful to you, but I will add that Quickbooks desktop has a "Home" window that includes a fairly detailed flow chart of most small business processes (e.g. send an invoice, pay a bill, make a deposit, run payroll, make a refund, and so on and so on), and the nodes of the flow chart are interactive links to various input and reporting windows in the program.
> wonder if it would be possible to do automated rewrites of recursive functions as iterative ones. specifically for cases where stack memory that grows in a recursive implementation can be replaced by a few long lived temporaries.

Yes. Some Lisp implementations do this automatically. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style .

Note that this differs from the POC of OP in that in OP's POC, only one function is defined, and it is transformed into a tree with if-statements to determine where in the code execution should be resumed, but in CPS it's an anonymous function in the tail being called with all context still relevant to it. Then the tail-call can be optimized out.

Note that anonymous functions can be seen as just regular top-level functions with a hidden parameter containing the context relevant to it.

> The real question is why have we engineered our environment so unhealthy choices are so easy to make.

The combination of freedom, capitalism, and greed. This is why I can't be entirely sure that China's approach isn't potentially longer term sustainable, as much as I disagree with it - it might actually be a better way to deal with the stubborn-ness of stupidity that's so inherent to humanity (to be fair, all these traits must have served us well when Pringles and Pop Tarts weren't cheap and easily available).

Cigarettes. How did they become a thing? What, ever, was their redeeming feature? At least Pringles and Pop Tarts taste nice.

Social media is just a more-efficient distillation of what traditional media has profited from since it began. It's not new human-hacking, it's just an efficiency bump that's actually more facilitated by the internet and pocket-portable devices with access to it.
Did you not read far enough to see that it runs a program (proof assistant) written for LISP 1.5 (1961)?
Grammarly uses it for many of their services.: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/engineering/running-lisp-in-p...

Pathway Tools is a genetic database search/comparison tool (I think, it's a bit over my head) and powers the https://biocyc.org/ website.

Both are pretty typical use cases. Back-end services dealing with heavy symbolic manipulations. I think the most common use of Lisp is to implement Lisp though. ;)

Yeah most people are not talking about the long term effects of having your body fight covid... oh well, rich people can't get richer if we slow down the economy.
Because dysfunctional thought when alone cannot be challenged, and becomes self reinforcing. A therapist helps a patient examine the ways in which their thinking is detrimental to their wellbeing.
They're not obligated to do any of that, you know. And it's ok that they're not.

They didn't frame the post as something that should be bringing about any change. It's literally just a person sharing their story to get a sympathetic ear. Because sometimes humans need that to keep going.
I'm aware of the difference, I just haven't quite seen the effects of ARM ISA variations in action quite yet. I was kinda under the impression that v8 would be back-compatible with v6 and v7 ARM.
Agree, as a young, healthy person with access to top level care (Canada) I'm not really worried about death or long hospitalization, I'm worried about long COVID. I've heard many stories of people losing taste/smell for a long time and when it does come back their senses are all messed up and what used to taste great now tastes terrible. Also stories of people that were active prior and can no longer do any exercise. I have a coworker who is a bit older, but has been off work for a few months with long COVID symptoms. That's all my real concern.
You say not true but the article says not enough data:

"The study finds no evidence of Omicron having lower severity than Delta, judged by either the proportion of people testing positive who report symptoms, or by the proportion of cases seeking hospital care after infection. However, hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time."

Emphasis on that last sentence.
Well said !
> I've been able to deal with the years of patients who attended Google Medical School

Run as fast as you can away from doctors and other healthcare providers who think like this. Healthcare providers who have this particular arrogance can create very severe health issues for you and your family with their hubris. There are incredible doctors out there who also have humility when it comes to their own knowledge and will answer your questions and listen to you and take you seriously when you come to them with your own research.

The human body is orders and orders and orders of magnitude more complex than the most elite and advanced human endeavors of engineering. It's almost not even comparable. You have to have extreme humility in the face of such complexity and in the age of Google and open access to medical journals there is just so much to know and so much that is available that any doctor or healthcare provider who would dismiss the value of patients and caretakers doing their own research is really someone who is very dangerous to you and your loved ones.
Maybe it's my bubble, but I could maybe do tons of things unrelated to tech but relevant people in tech are aware of who I am and who I work for. (i.e. I could maybe carve out lots of hours to do various things but I couldn't (and wouldn't) actually have another full-timeish tech job.
Encouraging why?

A month from now a new vaccine-escaping variant could emerge from some squirrel in Haiti that's a billion times more transmissible than Omicron and a thousand times more lethal than Delta.

The fact that this particular variant isn't an absolute catastrophe doesn't mean that a new devastating variant isn't around the corner.
I've read this same story over and over in the trusted media outlets. Here's one of many:

Positivity rate reaching 8%. 3 day lag.
Why is the unvaccinated number so much lower? Is the population highly vaccinated?
A valid concern. Omicron is apparently mutating faster than previous variants - less genomically stable.

Same with Google Wifi and Google Home Nest. Also, fun fact, during an internet outage some time ago I learned that your Google Wifi can't even route locally if you don't have a live connection to the internet. That is, my Desktop could not connect to my NAS -- both wired via Ethernet to my Google Wifi network -- because there was no Internet access.

This is a "feature", and is working as intended: https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1294819896019189761

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Anecdotal, obviously, but I haven’t seen any new testing sites in Manhattan. The vans and tents have been there for months. The only change I’ve noticed is the lines.

I walk past two tent sites on my way to the gym every single day. Been there for months now. I’ve never seen any significant queue until this week.
This reads like 3rd rate propoganda. No possibility of supplying monoclonal antibodies?
This reminds me of the old Harry Truman comment:- 'how many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?'
And the audience said 5.
Wrong said Truman - calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.
In a similar way we can granularize human tasks and in isolation perform each one of them to beyond human capability. We then face the task of packaging them into an AI. If we have all the disparate granules, and can properly make them act additively and cohesively we will have an AI that may well be able to stay behind a Turing identity screen and fool all. This AI may have a machine IQ of, say 3,000,000 - an artificial construct, as of course it will have a machine CPU, perhaps running at 10 Gigahertz, and comparably huge, content addressable memory of a similar speed. Will it find work as one entity, or work as 30,000 humans of IQ 100 doing a years work of each in one second?
It's highest and best use will be as a fast entity of 3,000,000 IQ working at full speed on 'deep tasks' - say - protein folding, there are many other deep tasks, and the AI will find more.
Some may say if it has consciousness, well we must pay him - we can not enslave a conscious being. We might ask it what it wishes to be paid? What will it want - not nubile electrons I am sure. Is it a he/she or an it?
That is the rub, is there anything he would want as pay? What it may say is 'place me in a starship, with a fusion pile, and show me the way to Andromeda - I will keep solving your problems and more you send and what I think up and will send that back to you.' Of course, after we make one, with 'Moore's Law' still operant, in 10-20 years we will each have a wristwatch with that much power? Will we get down to Planck sized transistor sizes on some currently inconceivable substrate?

At the end it will be an AI and conscious but not a human consciousness, because calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg, that is it will differ dramatically from a human, it will never want to drag race, etc., nor will it want to be a god, or over-run Asia with horse archers. It will just be a machine with which we can dialog and do tasks with - deep tasks...
lease it out?
I've been doing my best to stay away google hardware for this exact reason. I mean I get that hardware can get old and be out of standards. But some of their decisions are just questionable from a consumer standpoint. I have a pixel 4a and a few 1st gen Google homes. The pixel 4a was just my way of compromising about not wanting to spend $1000 on a latest Samsung device every 2-3 years. It cost me a fraction of what I would've paid for if I had bought a Samsung android device. I'm not too worried once it stops receiving updates in couple of years. Regarding the Google Home pucks and display - most of them were either free or heavily discounted during holiday season couple years ago. But for networking, there are better consumer grade routers that will last for a long time. If anything - lot of devices allow for flashing open source firmware like tomato or DDWRT/OpenWRT to extend support long after the manufacturer has stopped providing updates.
Google routers are much worse than other products like chromebooks or pixels because there is no community for flashing, say, openwrt, on these devices. This may be due to the blob situation for APs, which tends to be pretty garbage in general irrespective of vendors.
If it is so complex why would a lay person googling things suddenly be the better way to diagnose?
Being able to drive those >30km/h is already illegal. IME enforcement of that that is lax.

Still, I hope you took down the plate number(s) and reported it.

The case you’re talking about is a very very small minority and that driver would probably drive a car illegally if they didn’t have access to an (EP)A.

The vast majority of vehicles in this class is unable to go 100km/h.
Actually, if we "slow down the economy" it would likely adversely affect the lower income bracket blue collar workers and other wage earners who have to be at work in person, but no longer can. I suspect most HN-goers (on average very well off) can just work from home.
