> attitudes and disciplines are also somewhat to blame.

This is how the disease will be dismissed. Why bother researching it when you can just blame the victim? It works for ME and endometriosis, and it's far cheaper than diagnosing and treating people.
Some things should just be mandated to be cross-platform, and this seems like a good start. Phones scan for wifi and other BT devices, and this is just another BT device. There's an option for turning on a notification for open networks and authenticating to them, just give me a similar option for BT/UWB/whatever lost trackers.
It's interesting to me that when I imagine the trope of an idealized executive, I imagine a cold, stonefaced person.

When I imagine a manager, my imagined ideal is a warm and conscientious person.

For individual contributors, I imagine lukewarm and single-minded. For team members, warm and cooperative.

So if most of humanity values warmth, how did executive types end up at the top of the pile? I thought that I would eventually move into executive levels when I was focused on a management career, but the managers I admired who could move their people always seemed distinct from the hardasses who could move mountains. I'm just now realizing this.

Anyways, your comment piqued my interest because of the big impact the mental model of "warm/cold" has had on my social life. I'm more compassionate of cold people because I assume that they just haven't learned that mental model. I also literally sometimes imagine myself as cozy warm to help me open up and welcome in.

Don't underestimate the inflexibility of German society. It is very conservative while believing itself not to be.

The laws against insults stem from a feudal honor system, it is not about dignity. Dignity != Honor. One is intrinsic, one is extrinsic. Of course there is a red line where an insult becomes defamation, but German law is quite old and laws are very slowly deprecated. There are still articles against blasphemy for example.

Common law countries are the much more advanced societies in this regard. But even discussing this in Germany is next to impossible. I would not recommend to even think about compromising with any demands out of Germany on this topic. The privacy approach is better, but the condemnation of "hate speech" only helped dictators around the world.
You want my receipt?

Or is your goal to find some kind of TOS gotcha where I gave up any rights to anything? Because the enforcement of that would be no better than a scam.

Having to agree to whatever new rules an arbitrary new company puts on accounts was never part of any proper communication they made around selling me minecraft, I assure you.
Even if you not a game-dev. I urge you to look into ECS just as a mental-exercise. There are some excellent YouTube talks on the subjects.

Many of us are 'stucked' wring the same old CRUD-Variation-Apps stuff. Learning about ECS is a great way to get those "original-programming-excitement-juices" flowing :)

I ran a marathon last time in September. In January I caught Omicron and now I feel a slight leg burn, when walking the stairs to second floor. This has never happened before.
Yes. But the telescope cost as much as it did because they needed to origami it into the available space. If you have much more volume and weight you can design a simpler structure which achieves the same goal. Simpler structures cost less.
Mine as well!
But where did "probably did not get" come from? It is highly likely that COVID numbers are far higher than we know about due to many mild and asymptomatic cases that go undetected.
That doesn't change a thing. 99,99% of iPhone users won't do this.
omicron is endemic in a lot of parts of the world already. it will never dissapear. china cannot adopt quarantine measures indefinitely.

The gas prices spike has also other causes, like gas-powered electricity plants replacing or partly replacing nuclear facilities like Fessenheim in France. Gas-powered electricity plants are flourishing everywhere in the world, including China to diversify from coal, obviously at some point the available offer is not going to be enough.
https://jsgist.org

It's like jsfiddle but your code is stored in github gists. It's entirely open source and except for the oauth handshake to log in it's entirely a static website.

I don't really care if anyone else uses it but I used it a ton. Of course I worry that github will take it down or I'll hit some other limit but it was fun to build and your gists won't be lost.

Also https://jsbenchit.org which similarly, uses gists and is open source, and, again I don't really care if anyone but me uses it but I do use it.
I don't think Google analytics is that essential. It has privacy problems and there are alternatives around. It is just often the lazy choice of developers. They would have to adjust a bit, comes with the job anyway. Not using it doesn't "fragment the internet".

I still don't think laws against specific software is helpful though.
San Francisco has unprecedented rate of help and support for homeless people and people with mental health issues.

It is naturally expected that the people in need would move to the city. Maybe "other large cities" do not provide such kind of support? And if they did, people in need would not flock to San Francisco?
I've been working on mobbler[1] an analog music creation and real time visual performance just for the sake of learning JavaScript and finally understand the math behind audio creation.

> Anyone going on about the climate and refuses to put nuclear energy at the forefront of the conversation is unserious and is only interested in virtual signaling in my opinion.

In my eyes, this is a very indecent way to express ones own position. The discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy is not conducted lightly. Nuclear energy has a long list of casualties and severe environmental damage. Nevertheless, I do not imply a priori that anyone who argues in favor of nuclear energy is frivolous; and I expect the same respect in reverse.

One of the most unpleasant companies that I ever interacted with.

It baffles me how hard it is to avoid them when booking hotel rooms online.

The first time when I tried to avoid them (because I was so mad at them for screwing me over), I booked the same room on another website that I found by searching, only to get a confirmation email from booking.com...
There was a standing joke during engineering undergrad that wood-along-the-grain always came out best on all the material selection charts. Essentially the answer to all questions about what material to use was "wood along the grain". I suspect that wood genuinely is close to being that good and its consistency (and the tricky across-the-grain bit) is what stops it being used everywhere.
A lot of the planet used to be forested that currently isn't. Many ecosystems have already been changed by removing forests, among other things. We can plant a lot of trees before we reach the point that we need to plant forests where none have been before.

And some ecosystems definitely could be improved by planting forests. They can halt desertification, for example.
One thing I hear quite often from people is that other cities ship their homeless to SF on a one way ticket. Is that actually true?
Timely and relevant: https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1492046480328523777?s=20...

Apparently booking sites have the worst rooms reserved for their platforms. So its worth just booking directly through a hotel's website instead of using an aggregator.
I guess it probably depends what you mean by "running circles around".
"Seat belts do not stop deaths in traffic"

Technically correct, but definitely not the best kind of correct.

I find this service good for one thing: if a hotel assigns you a crappy room (loud neighbors, loud construction site outside, similar drawbacks), they'll upgrade it with zero issues. I have never had an issue with getting room replacement in such cases and never had to say anything but stating the issue.

Some hotels seem to be terrified of getting bad reviews on this site.
Amongst others here's one.

See my comment above on why that paper tells us nothing about unvaccinated myocarditis rates.
I'm sorry, but this sounds like someone who has never been to another country or seen how police works in other countries. I'm of course talking about comparable western countries (which are all way safer than the US, I believe). Instead of looking how the police could be improved you really think it's the people who interact with police?

It doesn't have anything to do with the lousy few weeks of training police get? The fact that they're often uneducated, the fact that bad behavior goes unpunished and everything else that is wrong with the US' system? It's the people?
Title was too long. Original title was:

Amazing tool to manage complex infrastructures. It would be amazing if all the settings would be stored as code so they could be version controlled.
With the rise of complex infrastructure comes the need to validate changes to the configuration, and ways to inspect and roll them back, in line with the new age of GitOps.

Plenty non tech monopolies out there with more than 1bn revenue. Also distribution is not just relevant on the basis of data volume but also e.g. to accommodate variety of use cases. Don’t get me wrong, Postgres is a great tool but the moment you do replication, the only reason you potentially don’t have to test your distributed system is because other people did it for you, not because it’s not relevant.
Will SSH also be affected by this?
I don't think discover implies anything about the effort put in on its own. If anything I'd say it leans towards deliberate effort, even if not always an expected result.

If it's just a fluke then more often and not I'd expect to see that spelled out as either context, or with the words you used: "stumbled upon".

At any rate, I think the reason it's used in this context in particular is because it represents that the 'equation' is not just a mathematical construct someone came up with, but that it represents observable reality in a way that is novel and perhaps unexpected. It wasn't something someone made up, it's something that usefully describes phenomena that are outside human control. Thus, they did not invent, instead they discovered.

There are more startups in US than EU. Also I think bureaucracy is worse in EU than in US.
Exactly. I have been using booking for years without single issue. Dozens of stays in many countries.

Why it should be a problem to move some employees to different company? This is happening often...

My big problem with imaginary numbers has always been their classification as "numbers" and not some other higher level structure with its own name. We don't call a matrix a number, even if it can be used in equations for instance. "Abelian group elements" ironically don't have a catchy ring to them.

Numbers in laymans terms imply something that can be quantified and compared, which in the end I think leads to a lot of confusion when introducing the term.
Well, the $50 umbrella to last decades and the "tag things with sentimental/shopping research value" thing is not exactly the big motivator for AirTags, or a representative anecdotal case.
I think as these OS's mature there is little to innovate on. So now it becomes little stylized changes and break things to fix things again.
But they do generate (human-)life-threatening nuclear wastes that last 100k years. That dwarfs even the longest human civilization like Egypt[0]. 100k ago, humankind was barely appearing. Plastic in comparison takes around 450 years to be disaggregated through exo-human processes[1].

How to deal properly with these wastes is still a vigorous debate generator[2]. The thing is, with our current theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, we don’t have solutions that scale at the industrial level at which nuclear wastes are produced. Not in a way that we can say "and thus mankind will be completely free of dealing with this issue in the next 100k year".

The utopia is that humanity is not stuck on a single planet anymore, with all eggs in one basket - so to speak.

The rest I find just realistic though. I do not expect humans in space to behave much differently from humans on earth.

Yeah my wife went back to China to visit family recently, and on arriving in Shanghai had a 21 day quarantine. To even be able to fly there she had two COVID tests prior to leaving UK, and one when she arrived in Finland (on way to China).
“ It would be impressive, unless your full time job is consulting in such meetings.”

There’s self section of individuals with high working memory into such roles. There are many managers who attend meetings all day and can’t synthesize what’s being discussed in real time, indicating that this isn’t about practice.
Pumped water storage also isnt that expensive.
I tried opening it with desktop Safari, Firefox (both with content blockers) and Chromium (no content blockers), none worked. Is it down at the moment? Also: is there more context to read in the meantime? E.g. an announcement or blog that describes the project?
How so? Afaik you don't even have proper laws for normal online purchasing returns. It's kinda hard to believe that in this section the US somehow managed to actually protect their people better than Europe.
I've read the thread. I also looked at your post and comments history.

You've made your point over the past few days.
Many people and, most importantly, dang seem to disagree with you.

At what point would it be better to drop this topic and move on?
Of course the entire rest of the chain is cleared of all wrongdoing, because the CEO, the VP and the product manager didn't write the code. Nice.

A Gene Sequencing Pioneer Battles over What It Can Buy
Interesting, my initial reaction to reading the abstract was: why are we thinking about UX instead of investing the money and time in fixing the root cause - illiteracy?
But then I thought: It's not that people can't read or write, it's that they often move to new countries and have to deal with a completely new language.
So: I guess the solution would be less text, more visuals and symbols.
But: are symbols universally understandable? Not all of them for sure, but definitely a portion of them; especially those pertaining to our biology and lowest common denominators as humans. Pointing inwards with a finger at own's open mouth should be an universally understandable symbol for hunger; a pictogram for sun should communicate heat -- but it could also communicate other things such as good fortune, daytime etc. and this is where problems arise: precision suffers, misunderstandings happen.
Can we do away with language altogether? I was thinking about starting with the universally understood axiomatic symbols and using them to create more and more complex symbols to achieve precision. But I guess that's exactly what language and math does, even historically starting with cave paintings, through graphic languages and whatnot, increasing abstraction and information density. So this brings me back all the way to the initial problem, with the feeling like I've barely understood anything, not even mentioning a solution...
> we started seeing videos of football players dropping dead on the fields

You're saying that as if we didn't see that before. We have.

Hell, there's even a Wikipedia list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_footballer...

The only thing that changed recently is that the list now includes players that played in like the 3rd league in Indonesia, and neither the player nor the club they're playing for are relevant enough to have a Wikipedia page.
I don’t know where this “copy from kotlin” meme came from. Why would an elephant copy something completely non-novel from a mouse? Records, pattern matching and the general direction java is going in are standard ML features, dating decades back. But even then, Scala has been doing nigh everything kotlin did much earlier.
Does this autocomplete experience translate into IDEs when using client libraries, such as the Python library?

Same here. I often tried to get s better price by just asking, but more than once the booking price was already far better than anything they could offer.

I never, and I mean never, got the genius welcome cocktail they always advertised for. No hotel ever heard of that

>> There can only be one main node at one time

This is how most distributed system solve the consensus problem: the nodes automatically run leader election algorithm so that eventually only one leader remains.

>> (Secretly not so simple, all of the above problems are actually hugely important to resolve in any monolithic database. However, Postgres sorts it out for you.)

Except that in case of network partition of the primary node, Postgres can't promote a new primary node from the replicas automatically, unlike consensus systems such as ETCD/Zookeeper.
Wiener's wife did influence the fallout between him and McCulloch but this hardly killed cybernetics, and is perhaps best interpreted as an MIT turf war.

Most of the online hotel platforms are owned by either Booking Holdings, Expedia Group or AirBnB. So choose your own poison, as the saying goes.
https://cleave.app

Cleave lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading all open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level; Alternatively as "tab-groups", but encompassing multiple apps.

I started working on it because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources; Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.

I'll release an Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...

In the meantime, I've used various browser extensions to save and restore open tabs.

I find it interesting (particularly from an HCI-perspective) that there hasn't been more research into the concept on an OS-level, as I can think of many times maintaining a set of application states for continued or re-use makes sense.
people who hate "OOP" are usually ones that fail to understand how to use some language features.
prime example is "Circle–ellipse problem" which demonstrates how people fail to realize inheritance is about code reuse and not about representing hierarchies of abstract ideas (and i wonder where they got that wrong info from, perhaps they extrapolated it from the name "inheritance"?).

same goes for all the other language features.
This is true, but I remember reading an article where the journalist compared the "only X rooms left with these conditions" claim to the system of the given hotel in real time. Well, as it turned out, the hotel had more than X free rooms with those conditions allocated to booking.com...
