I live in a three bedroom ranch-style home and designed the floorplan myself. Every room save for my bathroom and my office has two egress routes and they all have windows.

I’m sure a statistical analysis could be constructed to justify the decision to eliminate two stairwells. I wouldn’t be interested in living there.
Sounds more like the phone.

I agree with you overall, it was definitely a very "raw" and vulnerable post.

I wasn't one of the downvoters, but I think those "couple interesting tidbits" might be the reason for downvotes. People aren't comfortable reading someone's delusions of grandeur, even if they might be true. It is just off-putting to hear someone very confidently proclaim "under the hood I am a genius and a mess" and "my ideas, creativity, research and insights result in massive wins. But other people always get the credit". The post can easily be interpreted as a "oh woe poor me, I am a super productive genius who turns everything he touches into gold, but people like me never win the corporate game because the system is rigged" type of a humblebrag that is not being entirely truthful.

Again, even if it is actually the truth, it just leaves a sour taste. Probably because all of it seems like just shifting the blame onto everyone else and going on a rant that can be boiled down to "I am a misunderstood genius, but everyone else gets the credit every single time for every massive win I get for my company, because great winners like me just never get to win in corporate, the system is rigged".

This is quite out there and is something a lot of people with some heavy overestimation of their abilities say. Because to them it seems like they are "losing the corporate game" due to them somehow being discriminated against for their ingenuity and smarts, and not due to their actual lack of ability coupled with massive overconfidence in their ability. After all, as the famous quote says, if everywhere you go you see assholes, you might be the one who is the asshole.
It's only probably your domains already have enough reputations.

I don't think you understand the complexity of having your emails marked as spams on newer domains.

I've also been running my domain email for 15 years or so and configurations are easy but I still rely on external delivery services just so I get less chance of being flagged as spam.
Yeah, I had that about 3 or 4 times in school. By the third one, people were just flat telling the ones that fell for it not to continue, and why.
I definitely could, but as of now all the parameters and algorithms are so specific to the content that we produce that it would take some time to generalize it. Something I'll work on in the future for sure.
There's a reason eclipse lost the marketplace. Plugin hell.
It's ironic that a common trait of ADHD is oversharing, so usually it's us having this urge to tell people first that we have it, rather than them asking
I would like to go back to a flip phone, but the one app that I cannot go without is two factor authentication through apps. I simply will not let something like a brokerage account be protected with only a password. SMS as a two factor authentication method has known security flaws. Some two factor apps brokerages use provide RSA key fobs, but when I try to buy them, they’re sold out. It does not give me confidence of long term support for that two factor method. I have to stick with some kind of iOS or Android device.

I suppose I could try to find an MP3 player that runs iOS or Android, or run Android in an emulator on my computer, and use that as my “phone” but I worry I’ll hit walls if the apps look for a SIM card and most of the world doesn’t use OSes like that, so support might drop inexplicably with a software update that doesn’t account for my use case and I’ll be out of luck at that point.
attrs classes still have several features that dataclasses don't, and likely never will, [like validators and converters](https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/why.html#data-classes). So it's not obsolete, particularly for anyone already relying on those features.
I own a smartphone. I could not give it up.

That's not because of social media. It's because it's become the 7th sense for humans. I have vision, smell, hearing - but nothing that would let me see rain approaching from 100km away on radar, or tell me the position of a National Park boundary with 10m accuracy that I could not cross within my fishing live, or find a parking lot, or locate and pick up my lost wife in a foreign city, or become an arm of law enforcement by photographing an incident (especially when that incident is perpetrated by the people who our system trusts most - the law enforcers), and perhaps most importantly magnifying the power of my bullshit sensor by orders of magnitude with instant fact checking.
Re: 1, legally speaking, GPL does virtually nothing to prevent an ML model more than, say, MIT. It's a problem for all FOSS licenses. FSF/GPL really don't represent all of FOSS. As someone else noted, GPL is the 3rd most popular FOSS license. I'd add -- for a reason.

Re: 2, I know less about this, but from what I do know, legally speaking, this seems like a trademark problem, not a copyright or license issue.

I'm saying, in some sense, you've already won. If you want to fight about trademarks and other IP, God bless, please do. Just please don't think adopting the most extreme position re: your license choice endows you with some heightened dignity over someone who just made a different choice.
It prefers drones. Or ruins whole nations killing a scores in a process. I wonder what the victims would tell giving a chance.
What to do when when the ADHD procrastination issue leads to something being neglected? I've had this with both a roommate, and coworker. When reminded it's genuine embarrassment and apology. But then the problem doesn't get fixed. And repeat. I know it's not intentional. I just want to be able to use the sink. I never really knew how to handle that conversation.
Just use a list!

Forgot the list... or where I put the list... or what list I needed...
Most residential detached multi story houses only have one staircase. If government forced me to give up one bedroom and build an extra staircase, so that I have a slightly higher chance of survival of a very unlikely event, I’d be fucking pissed.

On AOL: good question, and I'm not finding the one I had in mind immediately.

What I recall was a discussion of different elements of Internet culture and what their origin stories were. Very roughly:

The "mainstream" early ARPANET/Internet culture emerged largely from major research universities and had a strongly academic bent.

There was a hobbyist culture that emerged largely out of the BBS and home-computer scene. The Whole Earth Catalogue and The WELL capture and document much of this.

Both these groups tended strongly toward professionals and middle / upper-middle class populations.

Military service members and their families were another large and fairly coherent group. Long-term deployments and frequent moves make communications a priority, and both email and text chat were natural fits for this. Esepcially in the dial-up age, when it might be possible to site a local dial-up point-of-presence at or near a military base (and free local calls). As a consequence, another generally-definable user cohort emerged: less professional, heavy on military (and subsequently law-enforcement) orientation, but also families, women, and children. My understanding is that this largely occurred during the first Gulf War (1991-92), and in assignments / actions in Somalia and the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s.

That said: I'm not turning up the reference, nor am I finding mentions in either the Wikipedia page nor a 1990s Wired profile (Wired itself also being an outgrowth of the Whole Earth community).

I'll keep looking to see what I can find.

thanks for the treatise on the consequences of a few more days delay, but all I’ve said is that I find it amusing that the launch has ended up on Christmas day. They could have conceivably tried to avoid the holidays, but obviously they are not, and this is fine.
Too much politicking and propaganda with this one.

If unvaccinated people aren't allowed to go anywhere or do anything, and most places are touting high vaccination numbers, how are the numbers skyrocketing?

Vaccinated people infected other vaccinated people but no one is dying. First time around we were at people getting covid and ending up in ICU and then dead.

I came across a set-top box that I suspected used ffmpeg for transcoding, because I recognized some artifacts I saw when I used ffmpeg's defaults for some settings.

Looked through their copyright notices and it turns out they were using ffmpeg. It's really everywhere.
Only one mention of climate change. Which was the biggest problem of the world before covid. Here's a tweet (in Malay) back in 2019, warning that parts of the country would be underwater in 2050: https://twitter.com/CentGPS/status/1191913321391247360

Floods hit hard a few weeks ago, really hard. Cars were underwater, homes completely wrecked. A lot of the damage were in line with the chart above. They're working on drainage but I don't really think that'll help for rising sea levels.
Yeah, recency, lol.

That's the weirdest euphemism for murder I've ever seen.
You have to plead with the country you're in. Or apply for one of the emergency slots the week you have to leave (pretty difficult at the moment given the flight schedules).

Or yano, deportation / imprisonment...

There's not many good solutions in this case and it is very difficult to match a reservation spot with an airline ticket out.
>"They're fining Github (threatening to block it) for not removing a repo with "candidates without ties to the ruling party" during election"

Not a good example. US had Github to delist repos for political reasons as well and have no doubt what would've happened to Github had it chosen not to comply.
In my experience the type of people who are too comfortable at their jobs are the types who frequently take afternoons off to go golfing, not the ones in the trenches building the products or responding to on-call alerts at 2am.

Nikola is “worth” $4.5B and has delivered two trucks and agreed to pay $125M in SEC fines. This week and in total.
My rant was more about the Metaverse as proposed and controlled by Meta. Funny, after I wrote this I watched a Eric Meijer video and he talked about the 10th man, a concept new to me.

I was being the 10th man for a moment. In a group of 10, one is designated as the 10th man (or person, but I'll go with Erik's term.) When 9 people agree, the 10th man is required to disagree. This throws a monkey wrench into groupthink.

It was, it basically hasn't moved as long as the "chip shortage" has been a thing.

But how would you describe to someone who is not diagnosed ? I have a child and would like to know signs: everything I read seems very normal, including that article. Like ofc it's better to transfer idiotic phone calls, block noise when focusing, not multitasking (multitasking is not even a thing, it can't be done, I've never seen it done perfectly, there's always a mistake made at some point even by the highest boss), or working from home in a controlled environment.

Very honestly, I've always believed ADHD was something they told little kids they had so their parents wouldn't constantly scold them for being distracted by normal things and that would then scar them for life with a sickness... everybody has. The only thing that makes me believe it exists is I know I can focus monstruously for something very important, and I feel ADHD would prevent someone to even focus on something important ... but this article seems to say it's also possible, so...
Obesity crisis seems to be caused in large part by environmental factors and genetics and not by personal habits.
This was a great read. I highly recommend that “newer” programmers (used to multi-GHz, multi-GB, multi-core) read this and really try to understand the lessons of low-resource optimization.
Happy Holidays :)
I dunno, people working in the health care system are getting burned out and quitting in droves. I'd kind of like there to be doctors and nurses there to take care of me if I need to go to the hospital for whatever reason. Your state of mind seems irrelevant to this.

Law: Only an idiot thinks anybody else will use their new language.

Corollary: All languages are created by idiots.

We have been very lucky that a few languages created by such idiots have turned out to be usable. I doubt the ones that happened not to fizzle would have been the best a priori choices, but by the Law we are lucky that any are usable at all.
The fire risk has very little to do with the material itself, and everything to do with how it's used. Steel buildings can fail even faster than wood once the steel reaches a superheated temperature, and wood can take an exceptionally long time to burn depending on multiple factors, from thickness, to oxygen, to fire travel pathways, to fireproof paneling.

The reason residential buildings are constructed with a given material is usually due to the regional cost of each material. Wood is cheap and plentiful in the USA, and we've adapted it very successfully with modern building codes. But of course that cost changes with scale, as wood is not nearly as strong and light as steel, or as stiff and compressive as concrete. And our somewhat antiquated zoning laws also limit newer construction methods like post-and-beam, which results in larger, cheaper, faster to construct wood-framed homes.
Amazing isn't it. We found out who exactly essential workers were (food service, transport, medical, teachers) and also how the rules imposed on all of us were remarkably selective based on wealth. I guess we knew it, but to have it demonstrated in such stark terms has been breathtaking.
The core argument in the post makes no sense to me at all. Projects and milestones are orthogonal concepts.
I can see Go hitting large numbers, but would Node.js really be comparable in throughput?

I’ve heard V8 is fairly optimised, but single thread (regardless of async) is a fairly big hit over Go’s green threads right?
Java was initially named C++++–?
I cannot find any other material to cross-validate the claim here:

> Initially, Gosling tried to modify and extend the functions of C++. He himself called this new language C++++ --, but then he gave up. He is about to create a brand new language, named "Oak" by him, named after the oak tree outside his office.
It's not always vacation. Many people have close family abroad that they want you see. Sometimes with medical issues so they may not get another chance.

I wouldn't travel if vacation was the only reason. Especially if I were living in NZ which is one of the most beautiful places on earth IMO

It's also kinda unfair to expect people to have seen Omikron coming :) with the distance to Europe most people from here in NZ only visit family once a year and often go for months. Suddenly returning would have been difficult and costly.

I'm surprised the fairly left-wing current NZ government is prioritising investors like this though.
"I don't think you understand the complexity of having your emails marked as spams on newer domains."

I've been doing email for 25 years (not 15), I have a few ideas about how it works.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and for the additional links. I'm planning to spend some time this weekend looking into this a bit more and see if I can answer my own questions before bugging anyone, if not I might take you up on that invite offer.

I don't follow the world of blockchains that closely (only so much free time) and I seem to have missed out on some interesting stuff that Holochain is trying to do.

---

As for the patent part, I'm not fluent in legalese and so reading the following really doesn't fill me with hope on anyone being allowed to implement something similar for an open project that the holochain developers don't approve of, or they might consider competition.

> It is our intention to use this innovation and share it openly within the context of the Holochain open-source framework.

The "within the context of the Holochain open-source framework" part especially fills me up with dread.
Construing even the most black and white contracts involve the application of normative principles which cannot be understood or emulated by a computer.
I think the cat was out of the bag when kimdotcom was indicted. New Zealand is bought and paid for by the cloistered elite seemingly against any real argument by the locals.

You could make an argument the work here/look see initiative that imported skilled labor was somehow a counter indication of a plutocracy but I think its largely just salt in the wound for the average NZ resident as it ran defense for anyone who pointed a finger at silicon valley for buying their island oasis. They could have spent that money on stem education locally but outright chose not to.
Iain M Banks' series of Culture novels are extremely good and mostly don't revolve around action. Not quite the same but if you enjoyed Vinge you'll likely enjoy Banks as well.
This is just the beginning and there is still overlap with new Intel chips (though not at the same power consumption).

I'm very excited for what future products (M2/M3 - Pro / Max) can do in terms of efficiency and performance.
One of my teachers did that in elementary school. I read the whole thing, saw the final instruction, and then got confused about what order I should follow the instructions in. The instructions were clearly contradictory and as a result there wasn’t an unambiguous way to interpret the paper. I had recently started playing with programming, and so I decided to model the task as though I was a computer executing a program. I started at the top and did all the silly instructions. Besides, it was more fun that way.

Afterwards the teacher chided everyone who didn’t read the entire paper before starting and did the silly instructions. I was bothered because I had read the paper and thought carefully about how I would handle it. I still think that assignment was dumb.
If it is already widespread domestically, a travel ban isn't going to do anything.
I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD relatively late (about 17). Before the diagnoses I’d tried planners, digital reminders, Pomodoro timers… but the only thing that’s consistently worked is medication. It’s hard to overstate just how much Adderall has improved my life and I’m positive I have a much happier life and higher income because of my altered ability to delay gratification and do long, boring tasks without issue. Highly recommend speaking to a doctor if you think you could benefit.
Thanks! That would be cool.
>Immigration New Zealand (INZ) recently granted 32 visas to people who pledged to invest at least $10m locally over three years and another 76 visas to individuals pledging to invest at least $3m, according to the news website Stuff.

> With their visas in hand, investors may apply to compete for spots in New Zealand’s congested MIQ system. A stay in MIQ is a prerequisite for entry to the country, which has been largely closed to non-quarantined international travel since March 2020 to protect against Covid-19.

So… these people have pledged to invest huge sums of money into NZ and the end result is that they have to apply for the same MIQ spots as everyone else?

Seems the outrage should be directed at this MIQ system. The visa scheme seems to be an enormous benefit to NZ.
I've seen you posting in a few legal-adjacent threads, very curious about your story. Are you able to share yet?
I’m frequently the odd one out in these conversations but: I don’t want ADHD to be treated as normal. I don’t want it to be treated as not-a-disability. I want it to have intentional accommodations. I want to be recognized and acknowledged as someone with distinct challenges.

I have distinct challenges that I have to address, every day. Normalizing many of them can create more confusion than understanding.

For example, I’m intensely sensitive to sound. A non-ADHD person sensitive to sound in say a shared office would surely benefit from noise canceling headphones. But I’m also very touch sensitive particularly on and around my ears, and that often gives me headaches. A general accommodation for this not only could but has basically left me unaccommadated.

Be kind and don’t make folks lives harder is a good principle. But sometimes acknowledging people have different needs and experiences is part of that.

This isn’t meant as a rebuttal of anything you’ve said, it’s a “yes and” more than anything. But I want it to be part of this conversation too.
I was trying to argue that building from wood framing is a terrible idea to start with. Wood easily degenerates with time, and without proper maintenance, won't survive even 200 years. Besides, even a car can get through the wall if it runs into the building.

The city I grew up in (Kiev) builds only from reinforced concrete, bricks and stone. Somehow, the 2-bedroom apartment can cost 50-100K and such building can still be profitable.

Another data point: the commercial building are build with the concrete.

Therefore, I think that the materials price is not a significant cost in the house; neither is the labor. Current average US home price is $400K; or 5-10 average yearly salary in the area. Other countries build houses as cheap as 30-40K from high-quality materials. This brings me to the conclusion, that the difference must be the regulations, either zoning or construction.

BTW, in many countries, if a person can't afford to buy a house, they buy a land and build themselves. My current understanding that in US you need licenses to perform almost any construction work.
Echoing the other commenter, attrs is generally superior to dataclasses (dataclasses is a feature-limited std library "backport" of attrs). It will be updated less often and support less stuff. The only real reason to use dataclasses is if you want to avoid a third-party dependency, which is sometimes valid but doesn't make the more featureful version "obsolete".
ReST has TeX level of power and it's internal data structure maps mostly 1:1 onto DocBook if the native output capabilities of docutils aren't good enough. It's a shame Markdown took over the mindshare for ASCII markup.
