I think the more important question is whether comparing Bob to Susan (or Sam, or whomever) is helpful. I would argue it's not, that it's even unhelpful, unless you know a whole hell of a lot about how Bob and Susan got to where they are right now. Did they have competing offers when they were hired? Did they negotiate a [non-]discretionary bonus into their package? Did they negotiate more PTO or profit-sharing in the form of a non-discretionary 401k contribution? These are all things that won't be immediately obvious but will affect their individual numbers. In aggregate, these aberrations get smoothed out. I don't see any benefit in comparing individuals to each other, but there's a lot of benefit in comparing individual to the average.
Possibly she understood the wisdom of never meeting one's heroes.
Where can I read more about this? Can you recommend a book or something?
I find that the experience of taking photos with an actual camera (be it mirrorless or DSLR) is vastly more engaging and enjoyable than with a phone.
How am I supposed to judge a window manager (excuse me, compositor is the term used in the brave new world of wayland) without a video / screenshot of it running? I get the "tiling" part, but how is this different than sway with a python script telling it to do something on the background?
I live in the Yukon Territory, Canada... Not 100% sure this explosion is what woke me this morning but:

I woke up at 7:15 AM MST to what I though was a freight truck loading boxes at the business next door. Rumbling, thudding noises. Very faint. Promptly ignored it and tried to go back to sleep, a few moments later my sister 100 KM outside of my location on a off-grind property texted me asking if I could hear thunder/fireworks like noises outside. Noise probably lasted 10-15 minutes.

I did some napkin math for speed of sound and it gets close.

As someone with a generally favorable view of web3 I don't see how it could help here. All data on the blockchain is public by default and contract tracing on the blockchain would just make it easier, not harder, for bad actors to track you throughout your day.
> I advocate "default to integration testing for application functionality". Those focused on unit tests often mock exactly the things most likely to break: integration points between systems. "Unit" tests of systems are often really verbose, prescriptive about internal state, and worst of all don't catch the bits that actually break.

You're writing this as a comment to an article that explains exactly how to write unit tests that aren't brittle and avoid mocking.

"Only integration tests" vs. "brittle unit tests" is a false dichotomy.
The viewfinder on the xpro shares the same hybrid design (Leicas do not have this feature, however).
> overt marginalization of "market-dominant" or "model" minorities who, despite their marginalized status, have better educational and economic outcomes than the relevant majority group.

Because they aren't "disproportionately excluded from the education, economic and other systems of society due to, for example, racism or sexism." Being a minority does not automatically make one marginalized and one does not need to be a minority to be marginalized.
That's literally how things work now. ~99.99999999% of contractual agreements are not litigated. The legal process is there as a slow debugger when it all goes wrong. But most of the time, things don't go wrong and people work out their disputes without involving courts and judges.
I believe you're downplaying the potential here (and I'm overplaying it). A particular blockchain you could immediately verify home ownership online via some sort of signature with the public key from a seller seems like providing the same type of guarantees. Is it 100% safe? Certainly not. But considering your notary might be a fraud, a scammer or just not very good at what he does...

Compare the example with withdrawing money: you can go to an ATM and withdraw money for no fee, depending of the country. Do it in the bank, there I an associated fee.

The legal system would still have to adopt it though. And it's an industry less prone to digital innovation. And there is no financial incentive, as there is no narrow profit margin you need to optimize. So yes, it may never happen.
I think that's why PRC pursing SAR sensors for targeting as well. And chipping away at progressing in subs.

Economics of ABM skew towards offense, defenders need more interceptors than incomings while advanced interceptors as are expensive AF, SM3 IIA used to for ABM defense are like ~35M per unit. There's also aforementioned magazine depth, can only fill VLS with so much defense before it compromises offense. As far as I know DE against hypersonics aren't credible, there was a panel on hypersonic defense by CSIS a couple years where experts concluded only counter against hypersonics are advanced interceptors.

There's also some recent (but rough) literature about ineffectiveness of subsonics like tomahawk/tlams against active defense. The TLDR is 1 hypersonic is better at penetrating active defense than salvo of 15 tomahawks. At which point a cruiser with 15 hypersonics has as much offensive capability against actively defended targets as 2 destroyers with ~200 tomahawks. IMO USN would eventually need to move towards expensive attack and defense missiles against peer opponents, or perhaps equilibrium of advanced missiles and missile defense is going to make surface fleet economically obsolete.
I agree entirely. However the experience of lugging around a camera bag is vastly less enjoyable.
Findings like this, like all societal issues from climate to pandemic, are naturally read as “What should I do?” when they should be read as “What should society incentivize?”

Sure electric instead of gas, bike instead of car, N95 instead of cloth, are all beneficial choices on an individual level, but it’s much more important for authorities to create incentives to encourage optimal behaviors.

Want to use a wood stove and understand the risks? Great! But maybe building codes are stricter to discourage using them in new construction and/or regulations require proper ventilation.

We shouldn’t expect every individual consumer to be an expert on indoor pollution, carbon emissions, and viral transmission. You’ll never get the kind of aggregate behavior needed for significant change, and the people most likely to suffer are those who don’t have the leisure time and ability to install NO2 sensors all over their house and contact friends who are experts.
I think they did a rather good job and personally expected almost exactly this outcome given Apple’s position, to be honest. I was concerned that we’d get some sort of weird “you’re making these rules about us but we actually follow the rules” that they did elsewhere that was a real headscratcher.
“You Don't Own Web3”: A Coinbase Curse and How VCs Sell Crypto to Retail
That’s absolute nonsense. Scammers and grifters making vaporware projects have no significant influence on the projects who spend their budget on development rather than marketing.

What you just said is “all these novice basketball players training the wrong techniques is a dire problem for those training effectively.” No it’s not, if anything investments in actual projects during relative, senseless mania is cheaper and easier than it ever was.
"COVID conspiracists" claim that the pandemic is not real but rather a ploy by the government(s) to control the masses. They would see the use of the data from the corona app as evidence for the latter. However, still, the former does not follow.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's non-trivial and surprising behavior like this that drove me to build a custom system[0] myself.

When I started researching version control tools for large files, I remember feeling like git-annex and Git LFS were awkwardly bolted onto Git; Git simply wasn't designed for large files. Then I found DVC[1], and its approach rang true for me. However, after using DVC for a year or so, I grew tired of its many puzzling behaviors (most of which are outlined in the README at [0]). In the end, I built the tool I wanted for the job -- one that is exceptionally simple and fast.

Hmmm...there is no bank holding those funds which is counting them as reserves?
The valid point is: "Reconnect with the joy of creation"

Attempts to do everything absolutely correct are not productive on early stages.

So it's OK to write dirty during search for solution. Anyway it's my personal code on this stage.

But then comes time to publish code. I respect my colleagues, I can't make them read dirty code.
Not sure what you mean by "big Amazonian civilisations".

It's full of trees. People traditionally live in small villages.

There are no roads.

The Inca didn't live in the jungle. The administrative, political and military center of the empire was in the city of Cusco. The Inca civilization arose from the Peruvian highlands.

Depends on the hobby. Maybe some people have niche hobbies like using ULF cameras the size of a box truck.
Even if it isn't, because of the Common Market any EU company can just open an entity in the Netherlands and start using this trick.

The next step is for somebody else to sue to remove the limit to dating apps, which is obviously ridiculous (and likely still not compliant with NL law). After that, the door is effectively opened for the whole Union. I expect at that point Apple will just allow it for all EU countries, with much fanfare, trying to spin it as them doing good for us plebs.
Why not? I mean, the fungi would die out in space without oxygen but if it retained its properties it could be used just like any other material: wood, steel, ceramics, etc.

The coolest part about fungus is that it will grow into its environment, so I would imagine molds (no pun intended) could be used to "grow" a panel, sheet, etc almost like natural 3D printing.
It would be nice if that could be reimplemented as an extension.
sounds like you don't understand it either. put options let you sell short a fixed amount of stocks without the unlimited downside. other types of options with unlimited downside are heavily restricted by brokers (b/c of underlying regulation) and not available to the average user without going through trading approval processes where they make the risks very clear.
Even better: use a rope and pulley to let gravity help you.
As if being 21yo was even supposed to be impressive here...
Quadrable: Multiversion DB – Sparse binary Merkle tree with partial-tree proofs
It is true that the price of title insurance is very small compared to the price of the house. But their expected payouts are still a smaller percentage of their premiums than other insurance.
In the UK, there are very tight laws for changing your house. But they're set nationally. I think they're ridiculous. It's very hard to get permission to build something in a residential area (with some tightly defined exceptions for 1 story extensions not visible from the front or sheds etc).

Weirdly you can do what you want outside of that. So I can't build a turret on my house. But I could paint it pink and replace my front lawn with cactuses or cover it in junk cars.

No one can make me do anything to make it look nice. But I'm stopped from doing much to make it bigger or look better than the neighbours.

There are "listed" buildings (where you cannot change almost anything). But they're rare and you know you're buying Shakespeares cottage and gave to keep it exactly as is. And in a lot of areas you need permission to cut down trees over a certain size.
100-160 Mt i saw rumored on Twitter.
Unless you sell uncovered calls… that gives you unlimited downside risk and limited upside since a stock can theoretically go to infinity.

It’s not technically shorting but you are making a bet that the stock will remain the same price or lower.
Because that completely replaces the front page of the news site, a page people normally visit just to find out if there are any articles worth reading. I can see how that leads to less ad impressions on the news site itself if people only visit it when they found an interesting article (and just that article) on google news.
The way that Tyler Cowen had it in for David Graeber convinced me that the latter was an actual heretic.
"Alex Jones was right"
The problems with this are overcoming the startup inertia and coming to a common agreement about how to implement it.

In my view, the latter is by far the most difficult and failing to come up with a common objective or view is likely to either scuttle the project or render it ineffective or inefficient.

Let me give you a real world example: Linux. We've so many distros that it's hard for anyone of them to get real traction. As we've seen for decades, Linux has never managed to take on Windows on the desktop for the reason that there are so many disparate views about how tackle the problem. Both businesses and ordinary users want certainty not constant variation.

We see the same problem in other areas of the net, for instance copyright reform. The only way to tackle that is on a worldwide basis - as the forces against it are aldo already very well organized on a worldwide basis and have been so for some 140 years (since the original Berne Convention).

I've often thought that we need a worldwide union of computer users to tackle these issues and take on Big Tech, etc. but how does one start something as big and significant as this let alone hold it altogether for any length of time?

I wish I knew.
Maybe, but to be honest, that was the re-edited dialed back version. The original post I replied was way to trollish/consipiracy pushing. "question no one else will ask" is just obvious attempt at a dog whistle, but instead grabbed the football ref whistle.
Well, only if the alternatives are, overall, more secure and private than Safari.

I tend to doubt that's true, mainly because, by far, the most likely alternative is Chrome, and Chrome is specifically designed to leak its users' personal information to Google's customers (the ones that generate the bulk of their revenue, that is).
Generally, developers I have seen that seem to want their own payment solution (which is not all developers, but the ones that matter here obviously) this is a good thing, because it lets them be in control of when refunds are done. Until now all app developers had to throw up their hands and put up a line on their website asking customers to contact Apple, which was obviously a poor experience and increased friction even in cases where a refund was desired by both the developer and user.
Until you hate noise. Noise makes phones a non-starter (the sensor is too small). Or until you're in non-standard lighting conditions, like a dark night. A year ago I found a mantis on my balcony[1]. I tried to make photos of it with my phone and my compact camera, and all of them were crap due to noise. Several months later I bought myself a DSLR and now I can take pretty good photos in very different lighting conditions. I plan to go further in that direction still and get myself a full-frame camera to get even better photos.

Also, stabilising a full-blown camera in hands is a lot easier than stabilising a smartphone.

[1]: Mantises aren't really a thing in this part of the world.
Any info how large it is expected to be?

The advisory is really unclear how it is on scale "measurable wave" to "run away immediately"

Lack of specific seems to point to the first one but...
There is another important distinction. For some of these (equities, fixed income) risk taken may be compensated by the risk premium. Others (FX, cryptocurrencies) have no risk premium, so risk taken is uncompensated. Finally, sports betting, casino games, lotteries), there is a house edge, vig, such that the buyer pays to take risk and has a negative expected return.
This exactly. Someone may be aware that it's possible to change the flags for improved performance, but they likely have a mountain of other things they need to deliver and the current set up seems to work fine so no attention is given to changing.

Anyone else coming across these flags will probably just have their eyes glaze over and wonder how any of it works at all.
I'm founder of a startup in the space (robusta.dev) and in my opinion Kubernetes standardizes and formalizes the complexity not creates it.

If you want to develop a cross cloud app with autoscaling, self healing, health checks, service discovery, network policies, etc then you're going to have complexity. The question is whether you want to invent it yourself or use a platform like k8s
Covid-19 Testing Types
The useful idiots who pray for the revolution everyday truly believe that it will be endless charity for them instead of forced labor.
Because I was in academia and it was an unhappy place full of politics, over inflated egos, backstabs, friends hiring, pressure for meaningless things. And half if not more of published papers in my field were overhyped in-vitro experiments with no real world applications. You have seen that cannabis and covid one this week? That's a typical example of that, lots of publicity around experimental artifacts with no biological relevance. I am super happy to have left this insanity.
That’s a nice little Kafka trap you’ve constructed to disregard the people who change their minds away from what you think. So every time someone changes their mind and uses their previous opinion as informative you are going to non-committally imply it’s “evangelism?”
I want to use a RPi to take pictures of objects within 1-6 inches of the lens? Does anyone have any recommendations? The smaller the lens, the better.
Why mention the age? I think above like 10yo or so, your work without comparing your age should speak for itself, which it does in this story.
Back in the day, hobbyists looking for a cine look would hook up a kind of adapter to use SLR or cine lenses with a consumer camcorder.

Of course the camcorders had tiny sensors behind fixed lenses, so what was happening was the adapter had a bit of vibrating ground glass onto which the external lens was projecting its image, like a viewfinder, and the camcorder recorded that.

The effect looked very good. Manual focus of course but this was considered desireable. I'm not suggesting this as a commercial solution, I just thought it was very inventive.
What if people deliberately lie?
I'm moderately convinced that this is all about manufacturing costs. SLRs are complex beasts with mechanical parts that need to be made to very tight tolerances and eventually wear out. The physicist in my knows that numerical aperture, the various inevitable trade-offs made in lens design and ultimately sensor size are really what limits optical performance. Going mirrorless means that you can spend the budget on these components rather than the mirrorbox and pentaprism / pentamirror on the top and the associated electronics with the viewfinder. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is above all a business decision and not really a scientific one.

I personally like my [pentax] dSLR a lot -- the batteries last for ever as a consequence of the fact that most of the time all the power-hungry electrical components are off. The optical compensation with the viewfinder and my eye works perfectly, and I like the fact that, unlike an EVF, it will give me a human representation of how bright or dark a scene is. Put a long telephoto lens on, and watch everything get darker. I very much "feel" that the process of pressing the shutter button connects me with the physics of what I am doing in a very visceral way.
I'm guessing fast enough digital processing of the image
It’s an improvement over the situation as it was, but Google still has a great deal more muscle than anybody else in steering the development of Blink and the web in general.

Really, at this point I think Chrome/Blink should be spun out as a separate entity. It could be set up as a model similar to that of ARM, or perhaps a non-profit of some kind. Either way, Blink needs to be separated from overwhelming corporate influence.
The problem is that even with a no-hassle refund process some customers will still call their credit card company and ask for a chargeback because it's a process they're familiar with and it's easier for them to do than to go through any kind of custom process you've built for them. I imagine after dealing with customer support BS enough times your goodwill is eroded and you're just going to choose the path of least resistance for yourself.
This style of pay leads to Tenure based pay, not performance bases pay.

Which some people like, and will excel in such an environment, however also can lead to other problems. I prefer performance based pay, vs tenure. If a engineer is turning out project after project, completing task after task why should they be paid less simply because they were hired 3 years ago, where Dave down the hall has been there 30 years but has 1/2 the output making significantly more because of tenure
The story isn’t about being a lazy mooch. It’s about realizing if you only view yourself in terms of your utility to others, you will be consumed for your usefulness.

The title is too sensationalized. It leaks the names of IndexedDB databases.

This can in cases where the names follow a known pattern be used to infer domains of other websites in the session and, in the case of YouTube, your Google id which can be used to identify your Google account.
