> I attempted to bargain them down to a lower increase, but the leasing office never even got back to me.

Do you live in a large complex owned by a big company? In my experience large companies don't even attempt to negotiate.

I've tried in the past at two different complex and never got a response until I walked my ass to the front desk and then was told "we don't do that". My buddy tried that same thing at his complex right at the height of covid when everyone was moving out of the city and still got no response. Two months later they sent him an email asking why he left and what they could do to get him back. I think big companies send any attempts at negotiation straight to the trash.
I have little doubt that my ISP logs each time I connect to Tor. What happens to this information from that point? Who knows. I won't live in fear, as that is the same thing as oppression, only self-imposed.

i wonder how the handshake protocol compares with the hypercore protocol or scuttlebut and if there are other similar suitable protocols for social media. for example iris.to uses hypercore https://hypercore-protocol.org/
Overprinting money causes massive economic distortion. For instance, the rich who get the money first are buying up all the houses, turning the US into a nation of renters.

Another example--the federal government enables "easy money" as higher education loans, which has enabled universities to massively overcharge for mostly low quality education.

> Speaking of Ibuprofen, it feels like magic to me too. I've had 100+ degree fever from COVID booster, my whole body was aching, I felt cold, but putting my socks on (which I had in my hands felt like an immense chore). Ibuprofen cleared that within an hour.

Damn, I should have tried that. I got laid out after shot #2 and #3. I just ended suffering through it for about 24 hours both days after.

I like your analogy and it does convey a good point.

Perhaps, I can word it my initial point like this. It's suspected (or perhaps merely just a product of combined statistics) that 10% to 20% of people who suffer from ADHD do not benefit from any of the mediation types - MPH, AMP, M. AMP, or the various non-stimulant formulations. So, what then? Do they not have ADHD then? What analogy would you use for them? What advice would have for them?

As ADHD as I am, I am not sure living 2/3 of my life (so far) untreated could accurately be described as "brain-fog." I have had brain-fog before from various other things, and I wouldn't use it to describe my symptoms, at least not on a daily basis. On days I go med-free, then sure, but I attribute that to the sudden withdraw and rebound-effects.

I think a huge problem for me was not the 'spacey' feelings or lack of attention, but that my attention was too good. My mind is like a Ferrari with no steering wheel. It can go fast, but there is no controlling it.

If something really attracts my attention, I can laser in on it to the point I cannot pull myself away be it video games, a topic I enjoy, etc.. (Hyperfocus, yes I know)

This a symptom medication does not improve, but actually makes worse. I guess I have to take the good with the bad. A doctor told me, "if you can find me 'the perfect' (no negatives) pill, then found a pill that doesn't do anything at all."

However, hyperfocus is my Icurus Complex. I basically cannot do any meaningful work it out, but alas it flies me too close to the sun where I can barely doing any meaningful work because of it.

Perhaps I had too high of expectations for medication. Maybe deep down I wanted something that made life easier, and not something that made life better.
it depends if it's east or west. Chicago is 42o, similar to Madrid, but I think Madrid will have bigger problems.
There you go.

It is no wonder that these projects that claim to be 'decentralised' still relying on using centralised services like Discord, GitHub, Etherscan, Coinmarketcap, Coinbase, Binance and Twitter, and they scream about 'web3'. Whatever that means.

On your point towards Github there is a solution and that is to self-host the source code via using something like GitLab, cgit, gerrit, etc in which many free and open source projects already do this.
That time delay is due to needing to spontaneously build an entire supply chain for weed in-state, as it can’t be moved across state borders. Farms, transportation, financing, retail space, zoning, regulations, and more.

Takes a long time for weed to make it to consumers, but it also creates a huge local industry since everyone has to work within the state, at least when dealing directly with the product.
You'd think they'd have implemented data taint tracking or something in the Swift language/runtime/libraries to reduce the attack surface.

You might even be able to implement it in the sandboxing system.

>However, we have gone back to plain python scripts for our bigger projects due to a simple reason - one must keep alive the notebook page while running lengthy experiments on a remote server.

Known issue (it's a six year old issue IIRC). They're working on it if I'm not mistaken. They're also working on real-time collaboration.

Plug: We have long-running notebook scheduling in the background and the output is streamed and saved whether you close your browser or visit from another device.

We run the notebooks on your own Kubernetes cluster on GCP's GKE, AWS' EKS, Azure's AKS, DigitalOcean, and pretty much anything.

https://iko.ai/static/assets/img/landing/async-notebook-on-c...

The run saves everything as an experiment: it automatically detects model parameters without tagging cells, tinkering with metadata, or you calling a tracking library. We also automatically detect the model that is produced, and the model's metrics (again, without you doing anything).

After I saw the title, I thought "oh, it seems to kind of occupy the same space as esbuild, but for CSS. I wonder if the devs gave any thought to performance?" Then I clicked the link and saw that there a direct comparison with esbuild, with Parcel being 3x faster on a large real-world benchmark (Bootstrap 4).

This is really impressive. Although Rust tooling is rather suboptimal, Rust programs seems to have quite the performance edge. I'll take the RESF any day as long as it means getting away from ultra-heavy webtech everywhere.
> I am curious, why did we invent a new syntax for scss instead of writing a library in Python or Go that maps data-objects to CSS classes?

I mean, if using js/ts is not beneath you I'm pretty sure any css-in-js solution fits the bill.

I'm not sure I saw the basic yin/yang tension explicitly described that I would like to see.

Back in the 80s, the earliest Mac interface guidelines said something to the effect of "eschew modes". There were lots of reasons for that. Some argue that as more people are familiar with computers, it's reasonable for the standards of good design to change.

But. Gigantic numbers of buttons are kind of a consquence of avoiding modes.

I don't think I need to reiterate all the bad things about modes, because quite a few were mentioned in the article, including life and death situations with military aircraft.

Quote: "segment our interface into a much larger number of smaller pages, each of which serves a specific function" - those are modes!

There's no right answer, and the article covers a lot of the ground, but I think the end of it is unbalanced, because it's fundamentally about a duality with no resolution, where intelligent people have argued for the opposite of the final advice.

There's nothing really wrong with the article, except it avoids the keyword that connects to significant history that shows both sides have merit. "Mode" is not used once.

The older I get, the more depressing it is when I see someone rediscovering something without recognizing it.

OK, we've taken 'tech boom' out of the title since that seems to be distracting from what the article is actually about.
This is not about elitism about terminology, but about sloppiness in using well established words in a specific context to mean something new. It happens rather frequently in the frontend world - which I’m sometimes a part of - and it’s incredibly confusing to all of us.
Duracell (the Mallory company) was bought by Dart in 1978, then by KKR in 1988, Gillette in 1996, Procter & Gamble bought Gillette in 2005, and Duracell was spun off and bought by Berkshire Hathaway in 2016. (source: Wikipedia)

The company has been under large-scale finance / conglomerate management for more than 4 decades by now. I don’t think there would have been any immediate change in battery quality circa 2016. Seems just as likely that corner cutting (assuming there is corner cutting; I have no insight) started before changes of ownership.
If you are strong and capable you should have kids to help build a better tomorrow. There aren't many young women who want to have kids because there aren't many young men who seem strong enough to bear the responsibility.
It isn't even exponential, it might be much worse than that.

Tipping points have ability to change our climate in a very, very short time.

For example, Gulfstream breaking or redirecting can be a sudden event. Many people forget that Europe is very far north compared to its climate. If you chose a lattitude so that half Canadians live north of it and half south of it, that lattitude would intersect Croatia, Italy and Spain.

A sudden break in Gulfstream would bring immediate step change to European climate, complete crop and extensive infrastructure failure.
For a government service, testing of older/lower performance devices should be part of the initial contract.
My comment was not intended to be read as "FU, got mine". I was only pointing out that most households in the U.S. are somewhat shielded from these high inflation numbers, especially since shelter is typically the biggest expense.

I vehemently agree that those who don't own appreciating assets are worse off, which is why I said it "sucks", because it does. But it isn't most households.

Lastly, young people in particular are also less likely vote at all, let alone for their own interests. Before the pandemic, the housing shortage was entirely artificial, and the main reason housing keeps skyrocketing is political. There just isn't enough supply to keep up with demand, yet people without homes don't show up at their local council meetings demanding more housing supply the same way NIMBY homeowners show up demanding less.

The spending from the ARA and covid relief makes up a relatively tiny contribution to the CPI rising. It really has to do with supply chains and energy prices as the economy continues to improve "post"-COVID, as the article states.

There is a comic I remember from my childhood, "Tom the Dancing Bug" written by Ruben Bolling. He had a character called "Harvey Richard, Lawyer for Children". I linked a couple of examples [1], [2], [3], [4] but the satire, IMO, is incredible. It lampoons humanities proclivity to layer pseudo-rationality onto the irrational things that we do.

It also reminds me of the TV show "The Wire" when Stringer Bell, a senior member of a street drug distribution ring of urban thugs, forces them to conduct their meetings using Rules of Order. [5] If you watch to the end, you see that in those circumstances order means nothing, it is just a facade.

I guess you could say that I'm cynical about the prospects of such a court and I tend to see the underlying truth in the satires that point it out.

Parcel is a great project that has made it much quicker to develop a SPA. This only furthers my sense of joy for it.
I completely agree that we need to protect the whole biosphere, so please s/crops/biosphere, that was my bad.

At this point, sadly, geoengineering may be a necessary part of protecting it. We're on the verge of positive feedbacks that could take things out of our hands, as the planet starts emitting vast amounts of greenhouse gases with no more help from us. If all we do is stop emissions, there's a good chance that we'll cross that tipping point before we're done. It's possible that we've already crossed it.

You should go web3.

There are incredibly few lawyers who know anything about crypto and huge demand.

You can also join DAOs etc and earn significant amounts of money for your effort versus who you are.

If you want to do web3 code go to https://buildspace.so/ and you'll be in in a few months max.

I'm happy to have a chat about some of our web3 stuff too, semantic [at] gmail
I don't understand why you would want this to be in the code. That is just not compatible with how source code versioning works.

If you, a contributor, want to change your funding preferences, you have to file a PR with the project? If you update your preferences, other branches of the same project can still have different preferences? If you fork a project, you have to put a meaningless commit in there to change funding to your fork project, a commit that will have to be reverted if you ever merge upstream or you subvert upstream funding?

It is certainly true that most users of relational databases before MySQL used them for applications where throwing away data is a potential catastrophe, and most uses of MySQL were for toy applications where if that happened no big deal. It was about a decade before MySQL even supported transactions.

atoi is deficient by modern standards, but at least it clearly documents what the behavior is and always has. It doesn't truncate anything. For a database, truncating data is unforgivable. That is what errors are for, so your database doesn't act as a black hole where your data may silently disappear forever.

And yes, if you can't return an error for some reason, you should preserve as much data as possible. Throwing away hundreds or thousands of characters after an initial anomaly is insane. But a database should never do that anyway, it should either store what you give it, or return an error. Same with a filesystem or any other trustworthy means of data storage. Sorry we were too lazy to tell you we threw your data away isn't acceptable, nor is relying on anyone to check for warnings that should be hard errors.
Rents will continue to increase as long as people continue to pay the increased rent.

A 35% increase is far above average, but if people are paying it and it’s not enough to get people to move out, then it’s really just market rate.

On the other hand, if it’s high enough that people start moving out and the new vacancies are hard to fill, those rents will come down very quickly.

One of the strangest things about rent increases in my area is that everybody complains about them, but few people ever bother moving out. The even stranger thing is that most of the people I knew who went remote chose to move to more expensive cities, because that’s where they decided they wanted to live. I suspect rents will continue to rise sharply in hot areas until people are actually willing to vote with their feet.

> As an aside, I really wish the VSCode team did more to integrate iPython REPL more seamlessly into VSCode as that is one of the big blockers for me to using VSCode for anything Python related.

VS recently made big changes to notebooks support [1], and they are now fully integrated into VS with their own Notebooks API. I've been following the changes for the past year on VS Code Insiders and the latest integration is really impressive from a UI and developer point of view. What's more is VS Code lets you easily use notebooks with any language (not just Python). I've had a really good experience so far using Julia kernels.

I wish you the best as you figure out the direction of your life.

I'm a bit older and have kids. They've positively impacted my life in ways I could not have imagined when I was younger. Having said that, the speed of climate change and what feels like a global political class that is incapable of taking meaningful action, I am very concerned for my kids' near future. I cannot imagine a life without them, but I do wonder whether they will suffer, or whether my grand kids will suffer due to climate change. And so I wonder whether the joy and fulfillment they bring me will be worth any suffering they will be forced to endure. I cannot successfully do this computation. I am left with a persistent concern that will not lift.

But then I think about people who had children during times of war and during famines. The urge to procreate is so amazingly strong.

By definition the adults who will tackle climate change have to be conceived by the adults who will suffer from it.
Agreed. I can't imagine working on a feature branch and writing 50 of these for a moderately large change, just for those to be squashed. I mean, I can, but I don't think it's necessary.

Hah, they say the crooked printed money goes first to those sucking the government teat, so this makes sense...
That's roughly how people used to use Unix .plan files, with finger being a convenient way to check out what someone else was up to.

Which reminds me of a story. At Google in the mid-2000s, we used a corporate version of Google Chat, embedded in Gmail, much as it is today. One key difference in the UI was that your status appeared as text right below your name in other people's contact lists. Your status could be active, idle, away, or any freeform text that you set it to. The status lines in the contacts list updated in real time (ordinary today but remarkable back then). So people figured out that they could have an odd kind of one-to-many chat conversation by frequently updating their statuses. Not everyone was in everyone else's contacts list, so it was actually one-to-who-knows-how-many. And people used it accordingly, as if they were shouting stuff in a large room -- "does anyone know what's for lunch today?" "I heard it's lasagna" "beef or vegetarian?" etc.

Anyway, Evan Williams worked at Google back then, and I assume he saw these ephemeral messages flickering across his screen, same as I did. I wonder whether that planted the seed for Twitter.
That's quite a hot pile of flamebait opinions, but you lost relevancy to the topic when you started fantasizing about conservatives.
There's a good book by Kevin Poulsen called "The Kingpin: How one Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground" that is a bit out of date at this point (2011), but it goes into great length on all of the dynamics of the early forums where all of carding/spam/botnet operators did business.

In a forum/marketplace like this, your reputation is worth a lot of money. And if you scam someone and get banned, sure, you can just join again under a new identity, but building your reputation up again means you will lose out on a lot of potential sales.
An external pressure (usually water) keeps it at a constant pressure.

Think of a bag of air under water on the ocean floor. The height of the water column is (relatively) constant, so the pressure in the bag is also constant. The air is being compressed as it goes from sea level into the bag, but inside the bag, the pressure is always the same. If you define the system boundary as the bag, it's an isobaric system. The volume changes, but the pressure is constant. Contrast that to the compressor you might have in your garage where the rigid tank provides a constant volume, but the internal pressure changes.
This is a good point - here, the victim wouldn't have been the user, but Apple themselves, illustrating that (occasionally, not always) being lax with security can come and bite you (instead of just your users).
