> that's what curtains are for. if you were caught doing a shameful activity because your windows were wide open and a onlooker saw, that's on you.

People have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their own home. In addition, the right to privacy is not limited by arbitrary definitions of shamefulness.

> so... jehovah's witnesses?

That’s a whataboutism logical fallacy. Just because some people do it and get away with it doesn’t make it acceptable.

> How is this any different than going around and recording the coordinates of every street address? You can also make the argument that a street address can be correlated to an individual, and by associating a coordinate with it, you are violating "user’s right to privacy by publishing information about them without their consent"

That’s kind of a straw man IMO. An IP address is public information and is transmitted by every IP packet. You can’t compare it to someone’s home address which is normally private by default. By associating a location with an IP address, you are effectively transmitting your location with every IP packet.
Been using DuckDuckGo for about 2 years. Amazed at their progress.

Still local searches in Swedish are subpar sometimes.

But I like the fact that they don't seem to be mangling results and manipulating them based on politics.

Google search is pretty useless as it stands now. If I want to find controversial material - for whatever reason, let's say even debunking it - there's a chance google hides it. The recent scandal with Robert Malone and the search term "mass formation psychosis" is really bizarre.

Thank you DDG.
World War I?
Publishing stats would be a good start yeah.

If you can justify paying less, it's negotiation time right? This just sets the starting point.

The rest I won't address because it's a boring argument to have where you call me leftist because you disagree politically instead of discussing in good faith

I wish there was a Swift framework that would implement all the App Store goodies, so I wouldn’t have had to write this article in the first place.

The framework could be configured using Paddle vendor/product IDs, Sentry DSN, Sparkle appcast and would provide the following:

* Free trials and a one time purchase for a license using Paddle
* Error reporting using Sentry
* Auto updating using Sparkle

But now you also need a website to host the appcast, presentation page and DMG downloads, and a custom process for signing the binaries and generating the appcast.

I guess you could forget about the ratings and reviews since they’re mostly just an annoyance for both the user and the developer. Analytics could be useful but maybe not worth the effort.

Although it’s now starting to sound more like we need an external App Store instead of a simple framework.

Setapp is promising but I couldn’t get a response when I contacted them about publishing rcmd, and they simply refused Lunar but accepted a cheaper competitor called DisplayBuddy a few weeks later.

I’m not sure anymore how a good solution should look like, but it would clearly be a godsend for macOS devs since so many good features are impossible in the sandbox.

Singapore us extremely unusual at 51.7 TWh/year on 724 km2 of land. However, they are far from energy independent right now. They currently import the fuel to generate electricity, so they could also just import electricity directly.

What you're describing sounds like using rental and taxis/"ride shares"/transit for everything which you can do today if your use case/location supports it. Involving a car manufacturer won't change anything fundamental.
Indeed, traditional rdbms are generally optimized for patterns with high locality. High locality patterns with NoSQL and NewSQL style dbs often end up causing one node in the system to receive disproportionately high load that defeats attempts to spread operations across the cluster.
My company is forcing a migration from confluence to sharepoint. What a nightmare.
Really enjoy your project! Setting it up on a free Oracle cloud VPS is very straightforward, setting up automated backups is also very easy and restoring is again, very very easy! Thank you for your hard work on this project, it made me start working on my own take on how notes should be handled and it gave me a place to keep things that I find interesting and keep notes on everything I learned throughout uni over the past couple of years.

Thanks again, your work is really appreciated!
Has lisp any niche? What should I build with lisp to actually learn it?
You should read the article because it talks about the distinctions between those three countries very clearly.
I'd love to use DDG daily for all my searches but as soon as I'm trying to search for local places (food, clothing, tool shops, whatever that is really) or specific things I want to buy, I get bad results (I'm in the UK) and I have to switch to Google to get what I need. My wife was complaining as well that she wasnt able to find a lot of good hits when doing research for University. I dont know what it's like in other countries but I hope this will improve over the next few years so I can fully switch.
I don't think Consumer Reports recommends moving companies.
> Does these platforms have git like version controlling and collaboration in them?

BookStack does not have git-like versioning but content changes are versioned within the database for rollback/compare/viewing.

> What about login and admin stuff?

BookStack has multiple authentication options (Including email & password/LDAP/OIDC/SAML2) in addition to admin/user/role controls.
one of the things we use confluence for is tagging people to tasks. putting pages underneath pages and when things are checked off they show up on the parent page so employees have all tasks and then the meeting tasks, then plus all the wiki features but the above was what sold us on confluence for doing meetings and minutes. I haven't been able to find something similar.
I don't think that fusion will ever provide terrestrial energy abundance. The current fusion schemes under consideration all resort back to being a heat source to boil water and drive a turbine. Renewable energy + storage is within striking distance of undercutting the just the steam turbine side of fusion. Since the only benefit of fusion I've ever heard is a huge amount of energy from a small amount of space, which presumably allows lower costs for that heat energy, let's assume best case of zero cost for fusion. In that scenario, fusion-driven electricity is more expensive than renewables, so it will be renewables providing abundance, not fusion.

If somebody figures out direct conversion of fusion to electricity, that would change my projections. Also it's possible that for non-terrestrial applications, fusion might be the best applications. But I think it's far too early in the development of space travel to predict what sort of energy mechanisms we may use.
Could be a plateau, or it could be a temporary peak somewhere around January last year.
Fully agree. I always create employer-specific IDs — Apple, GSuite, Github, and so on. It typically starts from a company email address and fans out.

It confounds me how many of my colleagues don't do this. But when I explain my reasoning, nobody has complained.

I understand that Apple requires its own employees to use personal IDs, which is really messed up. That organizational design flaw probably contributes to situations like the one we're discussing, since it might seem abnormal to an Apple person that someone would be associated with multiple IDs.
If you have not run across it yet, there is a fairly good video set "Let's Grow Mushrooms!" by Marc R Keith [1]. Don't be put off by the intro that suggests you can grow magical varieties. This video series is focused on basic techniques needed for growing mushrooms as well as some practical techniques for growing oysters.

I presume that the UK schedule specifies synthetic oil, that does let the oil last a little bit longer. But not that massive difference.

One of the reasons people give for buying German luxury cars is because they only need the oil changed once a year vs the 3-4x a year for American or Japanese or Volkswagen cars.
Interesting. As my team has gotten more experience being remote, we actually work as a team much better.

Where I've noticed more of a breakdown is between teams. Not necessarily in the form of "not my job", but rather a refusal to collaborate. So more "not your turf" fiefdoms.

> It takes some mentoring to get employees, remote or otherwise, to understand that the team’s deliverables are what counts rather than just closing the tickets they claimed. As hard as we try, tickets will never account for 100% of the work that needs to be done, especially when it comes to things like sharing knowledge with newer team members and helping with loose ends. Someone who wants to isolate and avoid helping others can’t really be effective in a collaborative team environment.

This scales out to the inter-team level as well. the organization's success is ultimately paramount. If the company goes out of business, everyone's out looking for a new job.
I was mislead by the chart too, i had assumed it was a chart of daily queries (getting a daily average to smoothen it out makes sense to an extent, but a 365 day average when you have this many data points?), however one redeeming quality is they let you change the day average from 365 to say 5 days. Despite that, they still grew by 25% in 2021 (which is much less than their growth in 2020 of ~60%, but still not at the level of stagnation)
Earlier this year, I decided to learn Lisp for kicks and Practical Common Lisp was the book that resonated with me the most.

The whole experience didn’t result in me switching or even continuing to use Lisp, but what it did is show me some of the origins of the features in the languages I already use.

My Python and JavaScript code is definitely more “Lispy” now, if that makes sense.

Trivia: In my studies, I was surprised to learn that recent versions of Excel support lambda functions in formulae.

Watch a couple of YouTubers that live in the road in their RV. Same story: woman had worked in a hospital and saw an old couple who had just begun living their lives in their "golden years" but the wife ended up dying — the husband was floored at this turn of events in their plans.

he YouTubers hit the road while they still could. Are enjoying themselves in a way many of us (still) only dream about.

I used to use Dokuwiki as my personal notes app/knowledgebase pretty heavily. Switched to Bookstack two years ago and never looked back. It has everything you need in a Wiki, no third party plugins needed like Dokuwiki.

The API is excellent, and I've used it to build some custom stuff. They recently added webhooks too.

And Dan is pretty responsive on Discord if you need help.
This seems like such a strange addition. My use of signal is primarily group chat or as an SMS replacement. It is hard for me to see the benefit of adding stories like this to what to me is a tool for directly messaging specific individuals. I would be interested in hearing from people who think this is a good change.

> it’s not just an awful safety culture and poor maintenance makes anything unsafe.

I agree, I just felt that the original article was being disingenuous by stating that power lines are somehow safer than fossil fuel infrastructure just because it’s not fossil fuel. Whereas it is more about your point on safety culture, where both can be equally as safe or dangerous if managed incorrectly.
Branding seems to be a major problem when it comes to non-commercial (or at the very least "alternative", since DDG is technically still for-profit) services. DDG isn't even that bad in comparison to some others like Mastodon or various Linux desktop apps.
They seemed to have missed Prioritized Grammar Enumeration, which beat Eureka as well, by several orders. The main issue with Eureka was reproducibility. I was never able to reproduce their results with their software.

That’s what I’ve gathered. That still seems stupid to me. Why does the Ruby/Rails community do that?
R.W.P. King studied wire dipoles for years and supposedly produced over 100 PhD students doing the same. The details are really really hard to get right and absolutely require empirical work. There are two core problems. One is that while Maxwell’s equations do model practically all EM phenomena, and therefore should make everything amenable to simulation, it requires detailed knowledge of material properties everywhere. Dealing with pure vacuum (or crisp, clean air over short distances) is therefore totally easy because it is all homogeneous and well-measured. But antennas convert electrical activity to traveling waves in space, so they are necessarily made up of different matter than the thing you want to transmit or receive into. Now you need to know the material properties of the antenna structure in a way that is incredibly hard to know. So we just approximate it as a series of uniform copper cylinders and say that one of them is connected perfectly to a cable using an infinitesimally thin gap. Yagi-Uda antennas depend upon complex interactions among the wires to achieve surprising levels of gain, and these details actually matter strongly. But they are practically unmodelable. So we simulate something and work hard to reconcile both the simulation (requires a lot of theoretical knowledge) and the actual antenna.

The other problem is also hard. In Maxwell’s equations, you can book it down to a single equation describing how energy is converted to a traveling wave. That energy conversion involves a Dirac delta function (our shorthand for “itty bitty thing the rest of the system doesn’t otherwise interact with “). The delta function goes to infinity at some point. A real energy source is just some weighted collection of these deltas. In other words, I have a bunch of singularities. At some nominal distance from each singularity, the math is well-behaved. Close-up, however, things fall apart. Numerical precision is exhausted quickly, field strengths go off the rails, phase velocities exceed the speed of light (Hertz has some fun wtf moments at the end of one of his notebooks grappling with this), and other fun effects. Software hates this. So theoreticians come up with ways to model these singularities at a close, but non-zero distance for a bunch of special cases. Software must decide among the cases with hints from the human operator and match up with the desired geometry. It’s super hard to get right in all cases. My advisor and others at OSU spent decades coming up more special cases to enable rapid design of dish antennas, and certain shapes of wire antennas, and even to accelerate stealth F-117 design.

Compared to all of this craziness, even a theoretical person like me will still spend a lot of time in the lab because it is just faster and strictly more accurate.

Antenna design is often characterized as black magic. It really isn’t. We just don’t know literally everything about the world and it sometimes matters for these devices. The mystery is not inward towards the mind, but outward towards the universe at small and large scales.
When I was seventeen my dad said I could have the old family station wagon to drive if I would replace the water pump on it. He got me a water pump from a junk yard and the appropriate Chiltons manual for a 1973 Chevy Impala and it took me about four days (real mechanic time would probably be 4 hours) and then my dad sold me the car for $1.

Some things about it stand out in memory. Engines were so big and un-compacted back then it was relatively easy to fit your hands and tools where ever they needed to go and pieces of the engine basically looked like what you’d expect them to be.

The other thing I found out later was that my father was desperate to sell me the car, because it allowed him to get me off his insurance. I was a 17 year old boy, with one fender bender already under my belt and my parents had just bought a new Mercedes sedan. For insurance purposes, as a licensed driver living with them, without my own car the insurance company considered me a driver of the new car and the insurance was outrageous. After my dad sold me the car, I was off their main policy and on a separate one. Very tricky dad.
Is it easier and cheaper to manufacture because a circle has no obvious weaknesses? For example most point shapes are weak structurally weak at the corners.
A visual editor does not solve mediawiki's bloat which is useless for 99% of anyone who isn't Wikipedia or another large organization, nor MediaWiki being entirely organized around pages. Nor does it solve Mediawiki's ugly, Web 1.0 design.

In Bookstack, making the server private is one or two clicks. In mediawiki you have to set at least half a dozen config file variables.

Adding any of a slew of auth methods is trivial in Bookstack. In mediawiki it's finding an extension, figuring out how to configure it, and then worrying about keeping it up to date.

Bookstack is focused on "books", chapters, pages, sections - not "pages."

It's perfect for what most people and projects need, and it looks fucking gorgeous out of the box to boot.
As long as insurance premiums stay reasonable, it’s a win for manufacturing speed and complexity, product quality, as well as the salvage market. And in my personal experience, vehicles are never quite the same after frame damage repairs.

I feel that the word "compulsion" describes a good middle ground between bad habits and addiction.

I like ice cream and chocolate chip cookies a little too much. It's not quite an addiction, but it's gone beyond a bad habit at this point.
5% sorry. It's a reasonable long term return.

25 years per generation.

Year 0: 10m
Year 25: 33.8m. 3 kids, give them 10m each, leaving you with 3.8m for the rest of time

This repeats as long as you want.

Over 100 years at 5% you have 1.315 billion over 120 people, which is 10.95m each.

At 4% you'd have to have a 29 year generation, which is certainly more realistic (I know very few people who had the first kid under the age of 30). And would everyone have 3 kids? Don't forget to account for kids who die before they reproduce too.
There’s a huge observational bias there, though. Its easy to spot the ostentatious high income earners, and those living far beyond their means.

An aggregator like Feedly is really good in this regard; you can set up sources of interest, add filters, and then- critically- when you reach the end of your feeds for the day, you're done.

Did you just generalize that every large project must be object-oriented?
God I hope not. For one, it'll put me out of a job as a teacher. For another, you know that it'll just be used to inject corporate propaganda and advertisements into our heads, not cool skills like kung fu and how to fly a helicopter.

In NYC you must be vaccinated to...

* Work at any private company

* Work at any public company

* Work at a public school

* Visit a public school

* Attend a public school

* Go to a restaurant, bar, gym, etc

This is the law. The "30 people in a room for 8 hours" have a vaccination rate near 100%.

So... what are we worried about, again? Why do teachers need to quarantine just because they may have been exposed to someone who may (confirmed or not) have had COVID-19?

For all intents and purposes you must be vaccinated to live in NYC. Which is probably why 95% of all NY residents 12+ have at least one dose and 84% of NYC residents 12+ are fully vaccinated.
