> It may be though necessary to set limits on available care and triage base on vaccination status when these personal choices start to endanger health care for other people. It is hard and not welcomed choice but again, why should minority dictate life and death of others?

How likely is it that vaccination status is endangering public health care? It seemed like an important factor a couple of months ago, but now it seems to me like it makes almost no difference.
Isn't it this one?

It's one of the things I've learned after reading "4 Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferris. If you want to focus, you need to quit caring about what's happening in the world. It's a great conversation starter by the way. You can always just ask people what's going on and they can share any major events with you, now you're a great listener, because you genuinely don't know what's going on in the world. And should you care? No.

When I stopped watching TV/reading any news at all I noticed one thing: I'm less distracted.

Once you realize that media outlets make tremendous amounts of money by selling you their narrative and like any business they're just trying to be as profitable as possible, everything changes.

Nowadays I might read an article or two from people I subscribe to on substack or something more independent, but still I don't feel like it's something that I need at all.
There are plenty of fintech companies that allow you to keep money without much hassle. Also, when you are on vacation, consider paying a visit to a bank, it's not that hard.
Wasn't the fact that they told you they could not talk to you considered "exhausting" the process?
I think it's a great initiative. However, marrying it to Caravel means that it basically a prototype and far away from a standalone product.

Would be great to see a path to a real OSHW ASIC. That would require either a substantially larger crowd funding initiative or somehow setting up an ecosystem with fixed die and package options for OSHW IC products.

I don't think the costs would be as high as everyone thinks, but the effort and time investment would be significant.

The truth is nobody really made a good effort to compete with them early on. Epic seems to be the only one making a serious effort at this point.

Also services like steam are naturally sticky/monopolistic because there's a network effect with the games. Consumers don't want to have multiple services that do the same thing, so if you have a handful of games on steam, may as well use it for all.

There really needs to be protocols for ownership etc, such that the UI is decoupled from the ownership aspect. otherwise network effect makes it monopoly-esque. It's a principle that promotes greater competition across many types of businesses
I have witnessed this mindset. The employer was glad to let people go after they were frustrated with low wages and no raises for a while. The result: very high turnover, all technical knowledge in the company was lost after a while (fixing old products was very hard as no one knew how they worked), all in all a very bad idea if you ask me. But the boss seemed happy with this.
That works until your population has grown so much your people start illegally logging protected forests for slash and burn agriculture because they have nothing to eat. The conventional solution is natural predators for population control. We have to do population control in our head.
There's an enormous hole in this conversation. Everyone is talking
about malevolent government, data collection and cybernetic social
control as the great threats. Yes, these things are frightening.
Authoritarianism/fascism or surveillance capitalism, whatever you want
to call it, is in the rise. But malevolence is the lesser of our
worries with regard to the prospect of a "cashless society".

Cash is important not only because (as others have said) it is a
mature, near perfect technology that provides fluidity, anonymity etc.
It's important because it's a distributable store of highly resilient
wealth.

Physical cash is one of the greatest defences a society has against
total civil disintegration - the kind of "worst fears" we are all
terrified of when the pandemic or Capitol riots were looming. People
in the streets with guns killing each other over a loaf of bread. It's
the sort of thing we worry EMP attacks, nuclear war, overnight
hyper-inflation would bring. When chaos comes it can come very
quick.

One of the surest and fastest routes to a totally precarious
civilisation is to create a "cashless society" than runs on these
highly unstable and very new-fangled things we call computers (we've
had them "properly" for about 20 or 30 years).

Imagine that there is no physical cash at all. Cash acts as a buffer,
like power-supply smoothing capacitors. One day the systems all switch
off (a very likely scenario (some time - we don't know when) by all
cyber-threat accounts). Modern people, within one or two generations,
are losing the ability to value or barter things, or do simple mental
arithmetic in many cases. That level of dependency is catastrophic.
Fortunately we still teach how to add up money and caculate change at
schools.

When no-one can buy food, and no-one can fuel vehicles because the
"system is down", watch it all descend into madness within 24 hours.
And no, the police/national-guard won't help. They'll all be shitting
themselves too and worrying about their families, getting paid.

Ayn Rand (not someone I am very fond of) made at least a few rather
intelligent philosophical observations, one of which is that (I
paraphrase) "money is a peace-keeping instrument". Cash gives a
society it's own form of distributed "power" which allows a momentum
of local exchange and flexibility. There only needs to be a few tens
of millions in circulation. Right now most folk have a few hundred
bucks at home or on their person. Without it your fallback is, within
days, only people who have stores of gold, medicines and weapons being
fucntional. That might be great for "preppy" survivalist types, but
it's not a world I'd like to live in.

Any government that eliminates physical cash entirely would be
clinically insane and playing a very, very dangerous game. Given all
the cyber-threats movement toward a "cashless society" is utterly
premature from a safety perspective, regardless any social politics.
Yes, this is an indication of Putin's weakness.

Putin desperately had to be seen, in Russia, as doing something that seemed to indicate strength, in order to be able to retain power. Facing off against NATO, and getting them to offer him concessions, served that purpose. Invading another country served that purpose. Holding bits of Ukraine, and the fates of people in them, are very much incidental. The concessions were not necessary, but the offers of concessions were all-important.
Edit: I don't think the kernel would render TTF and/or use the full graphical stak so that's probably the main difference

It probably has, but maybe not between kernel and userspace
That's a myth of a noble savage, a lot of prehistoric people died in childhood, childbirth, from broken bones, had no safety etc.
Charging batteries is a hassle. Having to even think about it is a hassle. I like bikes because they are basically hassle free. They need no fuel, almost no maintenance. I put it in my basement and pick it up the next day without thinking about it once in between. I don't care that much if it gets stolen since I paid less than a 100 for it 7 years ago.

So get an ebike if you feel like it or need it, but don't underestimate the simplicity of a trusty old fashioned bike.

Another very interesting design by an anonymous author is

https://scalingbitcoin.org/papers/mimblewimble.txt

where outputs are simply Pedersen commitments r*G+v*H,
and ownership is knowledge of their blinding factor r.
This require an interaction between sender and receiver to jointly construct a signature, but allows all spent outputs to be completely removed from blockchain history.
Objectively the acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 meters per second squared. The above statement is both true and clear within certain bounds on precision to anyone not playing sillies and who isn't very stupid. That example is a really easy one. It obviously gets harder the more complex the subject matter becomes.

This post-modern, "there's no such thing as objective reality" and one must take "a position" rather than striving to achieve objectivity is just nonsense and should always have been treated as such and should always be treated as such.
This is very much non-idiomatic. Panics are not intended as “application” error reporting, but rather as “programming” error.

The intended use-case of catch_unwind is to protect the wider program e.g. avoid breaking a threadpool worker or a scheduler on panic, or transmit the information cross threads or to collation tools like sentry.
A few weeks back someone lost a case in Germany because they used google fonts, and forgot to tell people. After that, I say, why take the risk? I have more important things to think about.
I found an use for lossless streaming:

A weakness in the open source landscape I found is that there's a lack of fast codecs. If you want to encode in real time (eg, streaming speech or an artist playing in the moment), and encode per client for positional audio in a 3D world, then Opus becomes a bottleneck.

FLAC according to some preliminary tests helps by being faster than Opus to encode.
No, a language can stay current by evolving to fit its purpose. A good example of this is Matlab. Matlab is older than C++ and is still heavily used today, enough that it's one of the few remaining programming languages to support an actual business.

Matlab is not the same language it was in the 70s. But the core language is still largely about manipulating arrays and it does it well. It has evolved by adding functionality through toolboxes and creating new, innovative developer tooling. But it hasn't jumped on every PL bandwagon that has driven by over the last 50 years.
Saving weight on a bike becomes exponentially more expensive the lighter the bike becomes. Sure, it helps not to buy the cheapest, heaviest model you can find at Walmart, but how many hundreds of dollars is worth to save another kilo or two to carry up a flight of stairs?
Is this an indictment and is it fair to say GDPR is a poorly implemented regulation? I am a pro-privacy advocate but like those cancer warning labels in California, I always accept cookies and move on. Billions of people spend a few seconds everyday clicking on these cookie banners. What would be the economic damage vs. privacy benefits? I appreciate what companies like Apple does with regards to privacy because it actually makes my life easier, not more difficult.

Another problem is the imprecise language of GDPR. "It's mostly not enforced for small businesses" doesn't cut it when it comes to adherence to law. Businesses need assurance, not ambiguity.
I've got a friend who just walked into a Wells Fargo branch, and basically all he had to do was to fill out a W8-BEN form. No SSN, no ITIN. His passport number was apparently a perfectly fine substitute.

This was some years ago though, but assuming not much has changed, I don't think it'd be too difficult.
caulk was the word last week though? Nobody I play the game with knew that word. Granted we are not native english speakers. Too hard word every now and then is also unifying experience when everybody stops hating the player and instead hates the game.

References to this, or drawing from the same souce as it? The comment about "jgs" would suggest the latter.
Why doesn't it make sense? I believe emotions do play a role in the courts. A criminal doesn't get punished for nothing, they get punished _so they don't commit the same crime again_.

Judges take emotions into account to determine how likely the criminal is to repeat the offence. Was this a one-off incident, or are you ready to start assaulting disabled people again the moment you get out of jail.
Nice page. I think this is all great advice I wish I had gotten.

Oddly, I find smaller tires more comfortable. I also have better experience not popping them on debris. Expecting this is mostly confirmation bias.
…or a Microsoft engineer used that existing cat art. I can’t imagine they’d be afforded much time to spend designing ASCII art for a debug screen.
Something being normal in a bunch of places, especially places low on the HDI, democracy, press freedom, Gini etc. indexes and coefficients doesn't make it non-extremist from GP's ( and arguably "western" point of view).

Cutting arms for thievery, or jailing converts/gays/whatever or forcing raped women to marry their rapists or go to jail/get lashed for having sex outside of marriage are "normal" things in many theocracies. Are those things not extremist, abhorrent and abnormal for your average Westerner?

Mastermind and alike have existed in many different forms over decades. None of them became as popular as Wordle, not even close. It's been mediocre and outdated for a long time. But, Wordle has features that makes it unique, welcoming, and viral. The alternatives you quote aren't even close. That doesn't mean none of them can catch up with Wordle. I was saying that most of them was getting it wrong (like removing daily word limits, making the game harder, more convoluted, asking for signup, adding ads, etc). Nope. That's not going to work.

These pop-ups are making it hard to enjoy the Internet, what do you suggest to do to get rid of these pop-ups?

Embrace them. Learn to love them. They're a good feature. Making websites explicitly require permission to do (subjectively) negative things like tracking users is a massively positive step in the right direction towards us all having ownership and agency over of our lives as we spend time online. Sure, it means we have to do a little work to say yes or no when a site wants to do something, but that's the cost of privacy. It's not very high.

There could be technical solutions (eg browsers could sent a header to automatically consent with the initial request) or you could use a plugin (eg consent-o-matic), but really, this stuff is important enough that "Eurgh! I had to click a button again! I'd sacrifice my privacy not to have to do that any more!" is a really bad take in my opinion.
They the gays, not they everyone who interacts with them.
You can use cookies with GDPR.
Are you aware of split into 4 cookie categories?
Is it surprising that people want some privacy and you can actually disagree to tracking?

Of course, people should be able to disable tracking more like: i don't want to be tracked by alphabet and Facebook, rather than turning it off for every website separately.

I don't think I could build much of anything interesting at all.

Maybe a modulator for some obscure LED protocol that would probably be just fine in software on a 50 cent MCU anyway.

But it is something that's never been done before, or at least has rarely been done this cheap.
You can only get so modular until you run into the fact that a hybrid Intel/AMD/etc motherboard chipset does not exist. Creating one would cost more money than they have raised.

Getting the bike is not the biggest hurdle to becoming a biker. People give up for a few common reasons.

1. Flats [revised]: use quality tires and learn to change it and patch a tube. But I know you don’t want to do that before you start riding, and some roads will flat anything (e.g.: I flatted 7 times in one day riding from SF to LA in armadillos). So what then? Maybe try: big fat tires, Tuffy strips, sealant, and tubeless.*

2. Minor repairs: always bring pump, tire levers, tube, patch kit, multi-tool, and a dollar bill.

3. Rain: always bring a light shell and gloves.

4. Safety: run both front and rear lights in constant mode day and night. Helmet always.

5. Crotch pain: Get padded bike underwear, and switch it out post-ride to keep it dry.

6. Slowness: Yes; it’s slower than a car. Plan accordingly. Get the fastest bike you’re willing to pay for, but mostly just work on making yourself faster.

7. Back pain: there are some posture effects of spending all that time on a bike. You’ll need to do some stretching or strengthening, or whatever; I’m not really sure because I used to think I knew what I was doing in this area, but it’s always been a fight and I think I’m losing it.

* no flash, I was wrong

* I’ve gone back and forth on tubeless. One trick I came up with is bonding the butyl tube to the inside of the tire with vulcanizing cement. You can also do the same with a layer of thick latex between the tire and a latex tube, which seems to work a little better at the cost of some leakage. I mix my own latex with PEG and some light fibers so it’s sticky but it flows.

How about giving an example. What is an example of such an irrational decision, supposedly enacted by parliaments in western democracies and assumed they make free choices without voter concern? An example of a policy mistake? I believe such instances are required to understand the goal here.

> Speculative market minds are in fact vastly more informed and rational than the usual political minds.

The market can also be a casino that is very often driven by emotion instead of rationality. It isn't always the case, but certainly on anything that gets attention.

> strange problematic mix of confused, incoherent, and destructive pride, posturing, ideology, idealism, loyalty, and principles.

Common mistake is to deny that influence. I believe this is a contradiction to the demand one should not trust ones own judgement. In my humble experience these behaviors are worst if denied or fought against. It is quite rational that doing so would elicit a response. These influences can be good and bad, but you cannot get one without the other. I think that the highest echelons of decision maker need to make compromises here is often more destructive than if they would not.
Cash is kind of fungible, but not really. Every bill has a serial number, so every bill is unique. This is what it means when money is "marked" in a police investigation, they give bills with known serial numbers to bad actors in a criminal enterprise and then recover the bills at the other end of the enterprise proving the connection.

In common practice it's fungible in the sense that one twenty dollar bill is as good as another. In edge cases though it's not quite fully fungible.
Gender-separated schools are only a thing for private schools, and some grammar schools (which are selective state schools). The main aspect here is that the best schools tend to be private and many people do send their children to private schools when their income allows it or they invest in private tuition and hope to get into a grammar school. That is indeed something to keep in mind, especially for secondary school (from year 7).

The class system is overblown. Vastly different 'classes' don't mix much in any country.
Microsoft likely didn’t create that art. So I suspect a bigger reason for removing it was licensing, with “optimisation” being a strong excuse for not spending resource on creating original assets.
