The crappy ones maybe. Proper distros build everything from source.
"It would be bullshit if some guy just buys the truck from me, I can't charge because Ford told me so, and then that guy turns around and gets half of what should have been my commission!" - the no-value-add middle man that Ford is forcing me to go through to buy their truck, when asked exactly this question.

I'm all for preventing scalping. It makes perfect strategic sense for Ford! The reason their approach toward the scalping issue is so uniquely idiotic is because the dealership model means they have to massage the bruised egos of useless middlemen.
How much of the pandemic response do you imagine Fauci actually controls?
One feature I really wish for in shells is something similar to Perl's unquoted strings / single line concise HEREDOC syntax / raw literal syntax.
e.g.

$ echo q(no ' escaping ` required " here)
no ' escaping ` required " here

This would make typing sql / json much easier.
To my knowledge none of the shells implement this.
Does anyone know why?
> Invasive species thrive in ecosystems that we create.

In some cases yes, in other cases they simply out compete local species.

My country had managed to keep snakes out, but no doubt if they ever took hold here they would thrive in the wild, and harm the native bird population like the invasive stoats have. The invasive stoats live in the wild, far from people.
All Ford can do is take them to civil court, and it remains to be seen if any court will consider the contract enforceable.

It's a slight difference, sure, but not a meaningful one. If you buy the product, and are subsequently disallowed by the original seller to do what you please with it, then you don't own it and are merely leasing it - at least for the first year.
Don't know about the OP, but in my state currently, close to 100% of the cases are omicron based on the samples they've sequenced. If I get covid next week, odds are it'll be the omicron variant.
You’re thinking of this as a single product, standing alone in the market. Ford is a brand, and is trying defend their flank with this vehicle. They care about many more factors than this truck selling for every cent it can, selling a $110k pickup (or whatever, I use early model x pricing as the baseline) would damage their brand with the people who buy these trucks.
Sure. Changed now.

I would second this. If you care about seeing the right colors, get a monitor calibration tool. Although once you get one you'll see that everything is actually fucked and wrong.
I've never had a problem with the COVID restrictions or vaccines. They're almost comically benign. There are so much more horrible things that people are forced to go through every day in this country; people who are homeless, who get abused, who don't have enough to eat, who risk getting shot or stabbed just walking through their neighborhood, who don't have access to transportation, education, jobs. Or those who juggle multiple jobs, childcare, eldercare, relationships, going paycheck to paycheck. I am incredibly lucky to be healthy and safe with a steady job.

To imagine that I can save a human life just by getting a shot, putting some cloth on my face, and standing 6 feet away from people, is amazing. Happy to do it. When I'm old I'll be grateful if today's children do the same for me.
While this is tangently related to your point, with the extremization of data mining as the core of online experiences, I am moderately disappointed by how the pandemic turned most major tech companies even further to increase the addiction (reads "engagement") of users in their business models, explicitly aiming to replacing real-life experiences and maximizing screen time.

All of this, agreed, while the "web3" appearing everywhere does not particularly help to take this market and the competence of most long-time leaders seriously any longer.
Doesn’t matter much when you’re reliant on software updates to do pretty much anything on a vehicle. Better to just acknowledge that vehicles come with an EULA these days.
Did you get vaccinated? I had these symptoms after the vaccination, but I am not 100% if other things changed at the same time, like increased coffee consumption or unrelated external worries.
For learning-learning? No. If you prefer MIT lectures over Khan Academy, then why not watch MIT lectures to learn whatever you want from Brilliant?

For more of a info-tainment / puzzle solving type of diffused learning - sure, why not? You can always try it for a month and see if you like it yourself. I wasn't a huge fan but I didn't like Duolingo that much either.
Because shell is really good at gluing together commands and has reasonably straightforward error management mechanisms

Contrast that with:

subprocess.run("some_thing with-output")
subprocess.run("the_next_thing")

which requires that the caller take steps to grab, check, and then re-emit any errors (or even just the "normal" output) produced by either of those, not to mention the horrors of output buffering for long-running processes and the ever-present encoding woes since subprocess interfaces as bytes not str

I guess it is the same situation with all programming -- diligent programmers can make it work, less disciplined users inflict pain upon all downstream users of poorly coded scripts
Oh dear, they're really telling on themselves aren't they?

I mean not giving them access to e-mail and internal documents until their formal start date is pretty normal, unless they sign an NDA that kicks in earlier.
I get 5 weeks of PTO (25 days, or 200 hours) now*. If I worked 4x10 weeks, I'd expect the most fair equivalent amount of PTO would be 5 weeks (now 20 days, still 200 hours).

On one hand, that is fewer Mondays or Wednesdays that you could take off, but it seems a more than fair trade, given that you don't ever have to take a Friday off.

Indeed, if the employer said "now that we have 4 day weeks, we're taking away 10 days of PTO, leaving you with 15 (150 hours instead of 200)", I'd then view that as something taken away.

* It's possible that it's actually 24 days, not 25, and I'm too lazy to chase it down in the employee handbook. For this post, it's 25. :)
Obviously, none of this is true.
I've been using Brilliant for a couple years and the thing I like about it is it _doesn't_ emphasize gamification. They'll manage your streak and iirc you can turn on notifications but it's not in your face like Duo - I've not actually seen what my streak is since an interface update two or so years ago because when I open the app it goes straight to my lessons. When I finish a lesson, it says good job and presents me a button to go home or on to the next lesson. Content is nicely bite-sized, graphics are entertaining and, unlike duo, often useful to the conveyance of the subject material, and often interactive.

But still, as with everything, you're probably better off going to the library.
I don't know how useless that would have been but in the case of Omnicron it does seem basically useless. I don't know, I don't have studies on hand or anything like that, but when you look at the numbers you have to wonder...

[edit]: maybe some of the more "extreme" (n95 masks, etc) have some decent level of protection, but I'm not sure anybody knows, at least with this variant. Even for previous variants all I've seen so far are models, which as we all know have a lot of assumptions.
Valid concerns, you need to pick your VPN carefully if using a public provider. In my case, I relay everything to a VM I trust that is running a firewall and AdGuard for DNS ad-blocking.

The system may not work for everyone (for example, streaming services optimize based on your location, which will break down if the VM lives in some cloud), but I use my phone for music, browsing and email (not video consumption) so it works for me.
I quit my 3+ cups/day habit and my health (in particular my sleep) improved dramatically. I drank close to zero caffeine for a couple years before reintroducing one cup of joe in the early mornings. I definitely experienced drawbacks to overdoing it, but a single cup of coffee doesn't seem to cause problems, and helps me get going faster in the morning, especially during the dark winter months.
This is sensible, except "pig" can't be taken literally when talking about a human.

> educated people will take everything you say literally and turn into missionaries

On the other hand, "Autistic" can and is taken literally regularly. So it feels pretty disingenuous for you to expect "educated people" to determine and keep track of how YOU specifically use the phrase compared to all the other people in their lives.

And if one of the people reading/hearing what you say IS autistic, their experience of others using the phrase is probably not as light-hearted as yours. There are plenty of people out there who DO mean it literally. So it is entirely up to the person reading/hearing the comment to make that determination.

You want to blast people in a professional setting who can't string together sentences, go for it. But describing them in a way that CAN be taken literally will cause problems.

TL;DR: My suggestion is to stick to "bad words" that people can't be born with.
I had turned private relay off during the beta since it seemed flaky when connections were poor. I have a VPN for torrents that I just installed on my phone because of this. Screw T-Mobile.
? That is very much a stretch. This is a pandemic, not a politically correct hug fest. We all must be responsible for our own health. If I am overweight and I get covid and I die because of that co-morbidity, then I bear at least some of that responsibility. To deny our own responsibility for our physical states where it is in our control is madness. Just like if I get covid and I am unvaccinated and get a severe case that is also my fault. This is a pandemic, not a woke celebration of not hurting each others feelings. This is not a moral judgement, some people are overweight and they are more susceptible to severe cases of covid, why not do what you can to reduce that risk?
> Invasive species thrive in ecosystems that we create. You don't want spotted lantern flys? You don't want thorny pear trees?

Non-native species get planted in environments we create (eg suburban yards). What makes them invasive is when they spread uncontrollably and displace native flora (dramatically reducing biodiversity in native ecosystems).

> Maybe ask who is defining the term "invasive species" and why they are defining them as such?

Sure, my definition above came from a hobby gardener friend who volunteers for a local environmental nonprofit.

> Anyone thinking about cutting down your pear tree. Read "Beyond the War on Invasive Species: A Permaculture Approach to Ecosystem Restoration" [0]

The reviews on that book are delightfully polarized.
I believe Apple now supports ODoH (oblivious DNS over HTTPS) although I do not know if it is used for private relay.
I don't get why Ford doesn't skip this whole ordeal and make the Lightning lease-only. Ford spent a ton of time in courts enforcing this on the GTs.

Alternatively, why not auction them off instead of setting an MSRP?

Lastly, they could raise MSRP to like $500k and gradually lower it over time, then make owners sign a document stating that they understand that Ford will lower MSRP over time, and that owners will be subject to excessive depreciation as a result. This will prevent the situation that Dodge got into with the Viper.

It's clear that the market value for these is significantly above MSRP. We are all just arguing over who is entitled to that money: the manufacture, the dealership, or the buyer.
the main thing is that we keep the political focus on race & gender etc instead of focusing on old fashioned things like progressive taxation, healthcare, worker rights & benefits, etc.

The current progressive focus on race and gender is new, and new is always better.
Common shell tasks (piping, process substitution, create a string with the output of a program, creating and redirecting output and input to files) are extremely cumbersome in python.
I can't speak to using "Latinx" or land acknowledgements, but myself and other non-cishet people I know appreciate the normalization of adding pronouns to names/bios by all kinds of people because it helps us feel a lot less othered. I hate being the only one in a Zoom call with my pronouns in my name.

That being said, I know cishet people more often than not do it to signal, but intentions aside, I think it's helpful and I only hope it becomes more common. I'd say about a quarter of my organization does it on Zoom, with almost all of us doing it on Mattermost. It's nice.
Scientists watched a star explode in real time for the first time ever
I don't think so out of your list I've used the Android SDK along with a react and redux stack and I didn't get the name kind of feeling. With those you start out with a mainly clean project and everything makes more sense to me how it works.
There's so many deciding factors that go into this. There's timing, you, them, the situation, etc.. It could be a specific percent today and a different percent 2 weeks from now.

I never really payed attention to quantifying these types of stats because I think as an individual your sample size is going to be too small to get meaningful data out of it. In my mind it's always a numbers game where the only thing that matters is if I land a gig or not.

I tweak things based on individual calls and kind of use my gut to guide me. It's not the most scientific thing but I don't think personal sales with a small'ish sample size is going to be purely scientific. So much of it is dependent on reading the other person in real-time and adjusting as you go.

When in doubt honesty and less "hard sale" tactics have worked well.
Why is Apple even giving them an option in this?
The way CDC and media swing between
"this Greek letter is fine; no mask is fine" and
"everyone get your (n+1)th dose real quick"
is just hilarious.
> Do you know of many cases where the disruptor pattern should be used by isn't?

The disruptor pattern is the way to solve any problem where you need to process events/transactions/commands/et. al. in a serialized fashion [0] as quickly as possible.

This problem space involves almost all business software, databases, simulations, etc.

I do not know of any other technique that would allow for faster serial processing of data, especially when controlling for practical applicability.

When I refer to blinders, I think I am mostly pointing to the ignorance regarding what is actually possible with the hardware (if you get the software out of its way). Any other technique involving cache-friendly structures, ring buffers, etc. is in the same league as far as I am concerned.

[0] To be as clear as possible, "serialized" in this context means that the consequences of event #1 may alter how event #2 would be processed, and so on.
When people are talking about unknown long-term effects in this context, they typically mean effects that appear much later. As in, stuff that wouldn't be caught in studies and our current vaccination efforts.

Long-lasting but quickly appearing adverse effects, like death, are pretty well understood and are calculated in.
What you’re suggesting is super complicated, instead they can just decide not to sue the everyman who lost their job and sold the truck, and definitely go after the scalpers that are wealthy and just trying to flip the vehicle.

What the US is missing to achieve that is japanese culture. It can't work the same or even similar.

Ah, yet another "turning air into an NFT" situation. Nothing to see here.
This is effectively what I do too, and it seems to work for me as well.
One principle would be the belief that the US federal government has not been granted the power to mandate a vaccination. Many people opposed to vaccination in the US believe that states, municipalities, and private organizations can enforce such a mandate but that the federal government cannot. As for not taking the vaccine there is the principle of prudent decision making and informed consent: that each individual has the right to decide what is best for their health even if they are wrong. For example, you might choose to be a lifelong tobacco smoker. The current scientific narrative says that smoking tobacco is bad for your health - but at the end of the day it is a decision of personal conscience whether or not you choose to smoke.
Pro-rata rights prevent this, but it's an interesting question of whether it would be illegal.
> In part because ML fails silently by design.

That's why there's so much iteration and feedback gathering (e.g. A/B tests) as a part of DS/ML, which incidentally is rarely a part of the interview loop.

Anyone who claims they can get a good model the first time they train it is dangerously optimistic. Even the "how it works" aspect has become more and more marginal due to black boxing.
I mean, you can have a strong distaste for scalpers, but it doesn't make this any more reasonable a thing to do.

Granted, buyers have every right to say "nah, I'm out", which IMO they absolutely should do.

I don't particularly like scalpers either, but I have a much stronger distaste for the idea that a physical product I purchase under pretense of ownership is then treated as a leased / subscribed / otherwise non-owned possession.
I, personally, find it amazing that so many people were willing to sacrifice nearly two years of their quality-of-life to fight a virus that wouldn't hurt most of them. I know everyone is doom and gloom about covid, but I'm actually pretty impressed with how much the typical person (outside of political manipulation and coercion) was willing to sacrifice for others.

If you had asked me in early 2020 how long it was possible to keep this up, I'd have guessed 6 months or so. Lament all you want that people are dropping their vigilance, or about how effective any of it actually was, but I'm generally pretty impressed with how far the "common man" was willing to go.
In mid 2020 in the UK, The National Health Service (NHS) began introducing "green" and "ultra-green" pathways, and designating zones or entire hospitals as 'green' (CoVid-19 free) sites. 'Green' and 'ultra-green' refer to CoViD-19 prevention measures in the 14 days preceding non-emergency admissions and the status of zones (or entire sites) at the hospital during and after treatment.

This was to ensure non-emergency admissions could continue without risking infection.
All through the dotcom collapse I kept trying to point out to employers that while they felt that I deserved at 10% raise that they could ill afford, that I would be happy reducing my hours by 10% for the same pay and they would hardly notice the difference in my output.

Specifically I was thinking about how hard it is for me to get going on Monday mornings, and how often my weekend plans were curtailed by trying to make sure that I was absolutely back in town by 8pm at the latest on Sunday night.

It doesn't take many experiences getting bumped from -or to- the last flight on Sunday to grow wary of trying to take a quick jaunt out of town. Not being expected until noon on Monday would have opened up a whole lot of options.
.. because a purchase means that the purchaser now owns the item, not the manufacturer. How has that changed? Who benefits?
Tmobile deprioritizes devices depending on high usage. Private Relay would allow individuals who are deprioritized to bring down entire cell towers.
> Heck, T-Mobile has a market value of $130 billion. AT&T has a market cap of $188B, and Verizon $223 billion. If Verizon and AT&T joined T-Mobile in protest, Apple could theoretically attempt (or at least threaten) a hostile takeover of any of them.

OTOH, one way to become the most valuable company in history is to not go pulling stunts like that. Nothing the street loves more than predictability.
I agree - this is not true at all. A really good competitive gamer is going to destroy even a very very good casual gamer even if you gave them a crap rig running at like 30FPS

Definitely there are real advantages to running higher framerates but its all diminishing returns. If your rig is fast enough to maintain CONSISTENT frames that is probably more important than going for the absolute highest - there is a reason many set a minimum / maximum FPS target. Consistency is important.

Most of the really competitive games arent really all that hard to run either these days - even an older but still decent gaming computer can do great. Considering how cheap it is now to build something that will run most games well vs how it used to be in the past I think the pay to play aspect has actually REDUCED quite a bit. You can buy a quality mouse these days for 20-30$ that would blow away what we had 10 years ago and that mouse probably would last you for as long as you want.

Reminds me of an old racquetball tournament where they would
put everyone in the same level (as in the top players intermingled with the bottom) but depending on the players skill they were given a type of massive handicap. If you were in the very top tier racquetball level they gave you a racquet that had been strung in a very clever circular way where there was a literal HOLE right in the middle of the racquet where the sweet spot was!

Spoiler: Those guys still often won
I've always wondered if you could start a internet speed testing website, get in the trusted list of companies like T-Mobile. Then release a VPN on the exact same servers, forcing the companies to provide the best speed to the VPN.

Only problem is that you would have to be large enough that the ISPs would care if their scores looked bad.
Yes, literally. We do the same when we discuss traffic laws. We're all part of the same society, you have the right to take whatever action is in your child's best interest, but that DOES NOT necessarily imply that everyone else must get in alignment with what you think is best. The city doesn't need to install roundabouts at every intersection on your school route because you knows it to be safer than the traffic lights. That's ridiculous. Maybe they should, but its a discussion that will require you to think about resources and about risk.

Externalities are real, and as such the discussion is about acceptable risk. So yes, in the most ridiculous and obvious sense it includes your kids, but you're assuming a lot too, and I question whether you're willing to reason critically - rather than emotionally - about school policy.
You are indeed not the only one.
No it’s called checks notes being a selfish asshole.
> they know people personally who have died after getting the shots

I don't think that's possible...
...then why not just make "no scalping" the rule and do exactly what you're proposing anyways? How is that any more complicated?
