Sounds more like an ad for their Substack. No proof or backing for any of their claims, just a bunch of hollow, inflammatory statements

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
This resonates with my experience. A couple of years ago I invested more time than I proud of into buying the right bluetooth headset for me. I have found a site with pretty detailed reviews and tested their reviews standing in stores and trying dozens of headsets out. I also bought 3 headsets on Amazon and sent back all of them later. My impression was that the reviews on this particular site are 100% unbiased, where all other reviews I read just want to sell whatever product is in focus.

I wonder how a search engine could distinguish between "honest & professional" and "fake & amateur" headset reviews without having a head and two ears?
The particular bits of hardware in your PC likely played well with the default device drivers. Maybe they were even reference designs. OS upgrades, especially of that era, tended to be randomly problematic mostly due to device driver issues.
JetBrains "local history" for InteliJ IDEs has saved me several times. It has all of the diffing tools that are available for git commits. This looks to be a generic implementation of that. We should not live in a world where unsaved data is lost.
While I think the essays are excessive, I appreciate that some of them document that the blogger actually made the recipe with progress pictures. With the more basic recipes websites, I wonder if anyone's actually made it before or if the recipe is from some scrapped database of unknown origin and quality.
>career consequences

I had a mentor once tell me that when developers take more than one full time contract at the same time, the only thing they have is two unhappy clients. If you were really industrious I could see you working a full time job and doing part time contract work after hours. Anymore more than that, you are just scamming the people paying you in my opinion. Also, it's a small world out there, tarnished reputations have a hard time finding good work.

>legal consequences

Not sure on this one. I don't know if it could be classified as criminal fraud or not, but you should be careful. The criminal justice system in the US certainly favors companies. Also, in the US anyone can sue anyone else for any reason in civil court. Legal defenses aren't cheap and companies have deep pockets.
I write blog posts, brings in some money, and I can do it in my free time.
SU was a great way to surface random interesting stuff. I bet most blog entries today could be picked from Twitter, even if they are unlinked.
Minus the "we ... elect" part.
It was only recently I learned that “recyclable” meant “theoretically can be recycled”, not that there’s an existing process or, more importantly, economy. Apparently there isn’t much incentive to extract metals from batteries as is - I don’t know how costs compare to extracting from spent batteries vs ore, but only 3-5% of Lithium batteries are currently recycled (for the nickel and cobalt more than the lithium), the rest, presumably, is landfilled.

so it may surprise others that recycling electric car batteries is still an active research area:

> there are a few things that standard git will clobber too without any recourse from the reflog.

True! Stash is one of those things, right? Does dura catch the stashes specifically? Clearly it’ll catch whatever work you did before stashing, but if it saved stashes specifically in it’s own thing, that would be extra handy.
I mean that physical brain lateralization is not supported by scientific evidence. It doesn't matter because it's only tangential to the ideas expressed in the book.

How come?

There is a higher risk to dying from a covid infection (at least with delta) than from the vaccine as far as we can see in the short term.

But there is still a risk from the vaccine.

If there was a train hurtling down the tracks about to kill five people many think they’d be able to push the switch to make it only kill one different person, yet I wouldn’t be able to do even that let alone the more intense situations from that scenario.

Thinking of people as numbers is what allows for someone to think it is ok to coerce people into getting vaccines.
I am in the same boat as you - you can't even cut an exhaust pipe off without specialized tools - getting a wheel on something even without any suspension components seem next to impossible.

Maybe I am just mad because swapping out shocks and springs would take me several weekends with full tools and a jack.
That's a fair point.

In the main country I lived in, that gave me that PoV (Uganda), colonialism was very much at the root of the problems, there. When the British pulled out, they left a vacuum behind, which was filled by the most brutal strongman (Obote), who was then deposed by an even more brutal strongman (Amin). Amin also brought baggage from tribal conflicts that may have predated the British.

There's also the need for infrastructure to have an environment to grow.

Infrastructure is a lot more than roads and rails; it's also constitutions, laws, education systems, and what I term "social infrastructure."

When you have a succession of warlords and looters, infrastructure never has a chance to layer, so it's entirely possible to remain in crisis for decades.

But also, in my experience, the internecine tribal conflict was deep-rooted, and virulent. The colonial powers, in some cases, exacerbated that, and in others, suppressed it.

Much like Tito, in Yugoslavia. He never fixed the Balkan problem; just held it down. When he died, the tribes went right back to where they started.
Good idea Paul I had similar one but no way you would do it manually. Machine learning algorithms need to detect spam not people because that way search engine can't scale. If people were marking what's good content and what's not such search engine would be reduced to content curation not organic search and discovery.
It's usually something like:

git status && git add -A git commit -m "checkpoint" --no-verify

I include `git status` so I can see what's being committed. `--no-verify` is used to skip any pre-commit hooks.
There’s no scroll jacking whatsoever and I tested reader modes on several browsers. Could you tell me a bit more about the issues?

I have almost the same point. Being somebody like Toyota, they can not fear being captured by the upstream when they can rm -rf android at any time with an OTA.

Toyota can be to Android Car what Samsung is to smartphone Android.
And investment in creating more homes will also drop. You will have attacked a symptom, price, in pursuit of attacking the problem: lack of supply.
Picosnitch tracks every executable that connects to the internet and notifies you the first time something connects, or if the hash changes (it can also check VirusTotal).

There is also a simple curses based UI for browsing and filtering the connection logs (time, executable, hash, domain, IP address, etc).

It was designed using eBPF and fanotify to be extremely reliable, use very little system resources, and does not impact network performance. The entire program is only ~1500 lines.
This workflow sounds similar to the one we use at my company! I use the git-ps tool we made to make stacks of usable micro-commits, and using the tool to keep things logical and working as things change and the code develops. https://github.com/uptech/git-ps
I believe what is being said is that in non-Western/fully isolated nuclear families you have a lot of people and experiences you can rely on. So having a child at a younger age like your mid-20s is not that big of a deal.
Given that you now have to pay Toyota to unlock your car remotely, their desire to license software to other manufacturers is probably not a wonderful development.
The main reason I did it that way was to have the RMII TX start sequence generated by the PIO program, and to have a loop to output the data I'd need double the frequency of the RMII, so I had to clock it at 100MHz.
So either injecting the 50MHz clock from the LAN8720 into the XIN of the RP2040 and removing the crystal there, or moving around 2 resistors on the PHY module.
He was instrumental in the development of mRNA technology, and thinks there may be some safety concerns with the vaccines for certain groups of people (like children): https://open.spotify.com/episode/3SCsueX2bZdbEzRtKOCEyT?si=0...

I'm seeing a lot of comments along the lines of, "Google shows ads on the SEO-gamed sites that show up in results, so their incentive is to give spammy results". But wouldn't this predict that results would be much better on Bing and other search engines that don't have much presence in the "put ads on random sites" market?

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google, speaking only for myself)
I keep a draft PR open to keep track of this. Not has nice as vs-codes diff tool though.
terraform really needs to be run in CI/CD pipe. Even without the backend initialized you can run terraform validate which will find things like undeclared variables and messed up count and foreach references.
This is on its face absurd, and makes it clear you've never actually spoken with an unhoused person.
You have multiple assessors for personality fits in the same way you have multiple assessors for technical ability.

I mean, I've certainly interviewed candidates where I thought they did great and should be hired, while coworkers--who talked to the very same person barely an hour apart--thought they were idiots who shouldn't even have gotten in the door. (Or vice versa). Personality fits work the same way. (For example, maybe I was the only one to whom the candidate complained at length about their previous employers, or, being a dude, the only one to whom the candidate's sexism wasn't apparent).
>I wonder how much extra carbon could be fixed in the Gulf of Mexico if we left ag runoff as it is and put enormous aquarium bubblers at the bottom of the ocean around the Mississippi delta

Who knows? I rather suspect that if you optimize for one metric--fixing carbon--you will compound the second order effects.

>It really doesn't. Unless you're willing to advocate for suicide or genocide, it's not a problem that food policy needs to be concerned with

I think it does need to be addressed. Nobody wants to advocate for genocide, and mass suicide is a hard sell, but if we stipulate that the Earth can only support X number of humans--an argument I'm not making in particular, but it has been made both now and in the past--you have to ask who gets to keep eating. While Ehrlich and others have made predictions that didn't pan out, they will eventually come true if the population continues to grow. Granted, that may be a 27th Century problem, but it may be a current-Century problem. We simply don't know.

We have papered over the population growth issue pretty well so far. Technology does a good job of that. But again, it has come with the second order effects of overall carbon output. Massive climate disruption would do a pretty good job of selecting for only those people who can keep ahead of the problem technologically, which is the same thing as genocide, but sounds less gruesome I suppose.
I used to run a simple rsync script that copied all my active projects to an external drive every 15 minutes. I figured that if I had a major issue, I'd only lose a limited amount of work, which I could probably re-create without too much trouble.

Lately, I've been using private branches in the early stages of feature development, but you still have to remember to push in case of hardware failure. I also rely on my IDE's local history to get back to a good place if I need it.

I wonder if it would be good to combine these ideas: commit and automatically push every N minutes. Is this something that's being considered for Dura? Or is it a bad idea?

One big challenge must be avoiding commits when someone's right in the middle of typing, although having to stitch a couple adjacent commits together would definitely be better than losing work.

It’s not that different in Europe, we still get the same silly virtue-bikeshedding. In my city the government requires developers to include “affordable” flats in luxury developments and then complains when the residents of the “affordable” flats have to enter through a separate “poor door” and don’t get to enjoy the swimming pool and wine cellar.
Awesome post! And (2015) for the title maybe.
In DC Rainmaker's case it is probably the opposite.
A fitness product not reviewed by him is a bad signal.
That's definitely the right style, though the particular example I saw was for Linux/x86, probably a port of that PDP-11 code.
“The last 18 months” coincides perfectly with start of the BLM protests.

I’ve been involved with an arts-based non-profit for a long time. They do very specific type of older art. They produce it, exhibit it, encourage others to produce it, etc.

The art form is Eurocentric, with a political history that contains some small instances racism, and vast oceans of mainstream liberalism.

Every since BLM protests happened (the second time - in June 2020), they’ve been freaking out.

Suddenly they’re trying to hire as many “BIPOC” as possible, even though there aren’t many open slots.

They’re acknowledging every racial injustice under the heavens. They’re apologizing for existing (literally).

Most of all, they’re scared.

When I go to their exhibitions, every single person, is white. Occasionally a Black family will be there. Everyone in the crowd parts to allow them through. Everyone greets them - and only them.

I imagine this awkward veneration is one reason why so few Black families come.

Most of all, the leaders of this org are scared. Terrified. They don’t want to be considered “non-anti-racist.”

When speaking with others, the terror is palpable.

Edit: just to be clear this is an author specific type of performance art. Think a Bach symphony, a Wagner opera company, or a Shakespeare theater.
Charisma and EQ are attributes much like IQ and curiosity - they are nice and important, but not in and of themselves hugely important. However, 'Business Competence' is a material thing that is valuable.
Yes really.

Go ask your manager if you should copy and paste something you found on a chinese forum as 100% of the output you generate. Nothing original, no actual thoughts for yourself, JUST copy paste.

Search and find answers for themselves is not the same as blindly copy/pasting, which is basically what the scripted forum answers are.
> I read a good article some time ago about how as long as we gravitate towards symbolic and emotional / headline-grabbing solutions, we will feel good and think that we've solved problems, but end up having made little progress.

Or, to say it another way, as long as we tolerate politics that are basically just performance art nothing changes.
What clearly seems wrong is the requirement to fill out forms on the race and gender of people you interview, and to have quotas to control whose voice is heard based on those irrelevant traits (irrelevant relative to the individual person's life, ideas, experiences, ability to express themselves etc.)

My policy is to refuse to give my gender or race. If everybody did this, high frequencies of "other" or "unknown" could be spun any way they want to people looking at statistics. If they aren't satisfied with this, they have to go on record clarifying exactly how they define race - which seems difficult since they're also the people who claim it's not a real concept.
This is just "copying to a flash drive" with extra steps.
This level of protection (from what I've read on other sites for whatever that's worth) was part of the deal when moving to Spotify.
For business news, I do this with https://yup.is
I think one of the most underappreciated facts in politics is that distinct groups with similar incomes don't necessarily have similar interests. In the case of housing policy the interests of people rich enough to lend money are actually much more closely aligned with those of people poor enough to have bad credit than the upper middle class who can afford to use leverage in a speculative housing market.
It was because Germany is a paradise for lobbyists, and Microsoft agreed to build their Microsoft Germany headquarters in Munich.

Curious, what kind of monetization strategy are you in favor of for long form text content on the web, and why?
I am curious what Canadians think of this argument. Does it seem true? It's hard for me, a USA resident who doesn't follow the CBC, to really evaluate.
I'm not so sure about that. Israel seems to only be capable of its agricultural miracles thanks to over-extraction from freshwater aquifers, including those belonging to Palestine
pretty sure this won't happen. regulations require computerized standards to be used for various parts of a cars functions. this would require some insane lobbying to pull off.
pseudo science crooks who refused vaccination. grew up watching them on TV, godspeed !

Counterpoint, given their position as a legacy car maker, they are positioned to transition to the next generation of software driven automobiles.

They provide the integrated hardware and software that becomes a car. As more sensors are added and engines with the electric transition are even more digitally controlled than ICE, it makes sense to own the base hardware and software.

This is their strength, building cars, which like it or not are just big robots running code, controlled by humans for now.
Thanks for posting this. An acquaintance of mine did this job 6 years ago and I wasn't sure if it still existed.

Crowd-sourced humans are making Google appear more intelligent than they actually are. I always envisioned that spam efforts would just immediately set off an alarm that would be handled by a bot to blacklist you without a human even knowing your site existed, but there still seem to be at least a few ways to game Google's search ratings.
