there is an essay on this (available as a book) by sam harris that i really enjoyed; it changed my perspective on lying/the truth.

since, i have decided to abandon even "white lies" and i find it very freeing. in the long trail i think it makes life a lot simpler, even if situations arise where you feel as though you need to "spare someone's feelings," i've found that they're navigable in a considerate way that doesn't necessitate dishonesty.

Paschenko is a pretty curious guy. IIRC he makes both digital art and physical works, and—again IIRC—they tend to be atmospheric like this site, if perhaps a bit less cryptic. He's big time into Orthodox Christianity—supposedly the dominant religion in the country, but most ‘believers’ here just have this checkbox in the back of their minds that they're Orthodox, and that's it.

He was employed since '99 by Art. Lebedev Studio, one of the first web design companies here, known also for the Optimus keyboard. And he wrote some time later that it took him a while to realize that Lebedev, the company's owner, was just giving him money to let him continue making his art.
Someone like Sagan who values collective human consciousness probably wouldn't meld with guys bent on militarizing space. Deep philosophical differences. Hard to judge your story without knowing what question exactly was asked.. Guess:
"Is Space the ultimate high ground??"
"there are frequently reputational, professional, and economic consequences"

Which can and should be handled under civil cases.

You can extend many these problems, health effects, and the thoughts of suicide to many other issues too - victims of rape, assault, harassment, burglary, etc.

So we end up with violent and property crimes which also contain these emotional damages, vs just an emotional crime. You would need to prove that this emotional-only crime is somehow more important and these other crimes that contain those damages plus violent or property damages. It's not that there isn't harm done by revenge porn, but that the damage done by others is objectively worse because it contains additional elements.

"It's not as though the only recourse we have is to increase the system capacity."

Then please, do explain. Because the only logic I see is that you ignore other crimes to pursue these, or you increase capacity. And frankly, ignoring any crimes undermines the entire system due to unequal enforcement and ostricizing some victims but not others by not giving them the recourse due under law.
> There was no evident tolerance for athiesm, at least as recorded in this kind of history. It took the later rennaisance and reformation for aspects of roman/greek atheism to enter the conversation

I think it's worth pointing out here that Roman and Greek societies took religion incredibly seriously. Recall that one of the two charges leveled against Socrates was impiety; the Socrates of Plato's Apology goes to great lengths to refute this charge. Or that Cicero explicitly attributes the success of Rome to its successful practice of religion. Atheism basically doesn't exist in the ancient world.
The phrase "Eternal September" was coined on usenet once ISPs opened the floodgates of users to what was once a small community. The "September" referring to the yearly influx of new freshmen gaining access via universities.
Perhaps I'm an outlier but PaperWM is one of the things I miss most dearly about Linux. (I'm on Mac/Win for now) I daily drove PaperWM for months and thoroughly enjoyed it. Quirks were noticed but ignorable, in particular I could not get multiple monitors to work as advertised.
I wonder how the university gets to the 53% overhead figure. Do they have a fully costed internal accounting of things like "rent" for lab space and share of administrators' time/salary?
In essence, this is similar how I setup and use Spaces on macOS. Have a number of spaces that are horizontally laid out with a three finger left/right swipe between them.

For each Space, you can make the apps full-screen or split screen to have variable width windows. Of course you don't need to make them full screen but it does keep it simple similar to Cardboard.

The added functionality with this approach is that you can use the Space as a casual grouping of windows in a related project.
I am not in academia but the 53% overhead to an outsider is absurd! Probably the same reason tuition has gotten so high, someone has to pay for all those deans, vice deans and vice vice deans!
> One day, I received inquiries from journalists looking to find out more about Manwin. Believing it was a major threat, I sent off a panicked email to the owner of the company and some vice presidents. My bosses were stunned, and not in a good way. Corey, the guy who had originally hired me, marched me into an office, and I nearly got canned. They had mercy on me. I think they could tell that I was trying to protect the company in my own overzealous, entirely inappropriate way. It was true — I felt like part of a team and wanted to do my best for them. But I had blown it.

> After that, with my reputation tarnished, my fortunes at the company started to dwindle.

That seems wrong to me, but I'm interested in other people's responses. It doesn't seem like 'blowing it' at all. How many companies have problems with employees that are too motivated?

First, afaik, CEOs generally work to have open lines of communication with their lower level employees - the problem is people not paying attention, not communicating important information, or it getting filtered by the interests of layers in between. Second, Manwin can't be that big a company. It's not like emailing the CEO of Microsoft, who has >100,000 people working for them (and again, wouldn't Satya Nadella just say - 'hey, thanks for keeping a sharp eye out and for the heads up. It may look bad, but we've seen it many times before. I'm going to forward this to corporate communications, who can handle these things astutely.')

Maybe other companies are just different than the ones I've seen.
I respect your commitment to a particular style, but... I hate it. It feels like there's no connection between statements, just a sequence of atomized declarations. Writing that makes an argument often needs longer paragraphs. You may be limiting what you can say by the format you have to say it in.

Now that you've done the stunt for your publisher, it may be time to transcend this style.
Thanks, I hadn't heard of Spirit.

They look very much in the style of Ryanair with the garish website. $22 for three hours (Boston-Miami) is priced between the two Ryanair flights, so I expect the "service" is similar.

I'm sure the average distance of a flight within Europe is lower than in the USA, since the USA is a bit empty in the middle and Europe has more water in the way, but routes like Scandinavia to the Mediterranean (Stockholm to Zagreb is 3½ hours and $14), or Britain to eastern Europe (London - Cluj, 3 hours $13) aren't far off, and the budget airlines also have flights to tourist destinations in Egypt, Israel, Jordan etc, which are as long as a US coast-to-coast flight.
Norvig's codes are very educational. Unfortunately :) Peter long since stopped updating them; in JScheme, he mentioned the wish to move to R5RS standard, but other, more important things intervened.

Are there similar codes for more recent Scheme's - with some more advanced capabilities, like hygienic macros and full continuations - demonstrated?
The amount of work that has gone into the menus is simply phenomenal - the hard part was often not the graphics, but figuring out the commands (following the wiki tutorials helped me a bunch).

Tarn deserves praise for his work - and it’s a bit sad that we don’t have more passion projects like this.
The 1% of the past were much more involved in government and ofcourse the military.
I always found it interesting that in ancient Rome even the most decadent senators spent a few years as an officer in the legions.
It has nothing to do with whether they were up to spec originally and now don't because telecom did something.

FAA on Jan 20th of this year made a statement saying all these planes were approved to use under current new conditions for 5G. Now have since rolled back that for 747s(on Jan 25th) and 737s(23 Feb/27th Jan). Read their statements linked carefully again.

It tells FAA is not competently handling the situation. First they are caught totally unprepared for the 5G rollout after having years of notice, then issue approvals and are rolling back said approvals. At this point I am not inclined to believe they know what they are talking about at all.

I've occasionally struggled with getting devices mounted where it turned out to be the USB cable's fault. Sometimes they're just for charging.
I would suggest the photocopy of a crunched up semi-nude Madonna photo from the 80s caused our imagination to soak much more than what is available online.

At the time many lighters and cards had nude images. It was much more common and celebrated.

There are endless videos on any topic.
So what if they used his name? It was just “Carl Sagan” not “Carl Sagan Sucks”.

If a parent named their kid “Carl Sagan” should another Carl be able to demand the parents change a child’s name? Completely ridiculous case and I’m glad the judge saw through the nonsense.
Anyways, I have doubts this is worth your time (and money) regardless of your answer to my question above.

If you're looking to RE these mobile apps solely for inspiration, you're better off hiring senior-level employees with experience working for banks and/or in fintech and starting from there. If you insist on RE-ing something, then try to RE a fintech product that you are trying to emulate.

Alternatively, if you're telling me that you guys plan on somehow piggy-backing off of the banks' APIs, then you need to work directly with the banks. If that's not an option, then your product has already failed and it's time to move on.
Standard frameworks give you text frames with minimal hooks to customize them and "good enough" performance. They're great for dumping a log file to or for small documents, but when you want the fine control of a text editor that can handle big files, you need to roll your own.
It's a good point. It's a total control of the word, in addition to being limited to only consuming, we cannot comment on our opinion or refute the lie.
You're here because you're an engineer, right?

I have a bank account. You give me £100 and tell me to send £100 to 00273 00338435. Done.

As other posters have said, in many countries this is a Service(tm) but generally, unless you've gimped payments anyone can just do this.

This is exactly why 'data sovereignty' is a concern for those using hosted cloud services. Atlassian, along with other hosting providers, likely have a policy and a control in place. However, it's absolutely something one should research and understand before using any cloud service.
That won't stop them from sending half a dozen cops to beat the shit out of you before even asking you questions.

> Is this some statistical law you're referencing

There is a natural law in pattern recognition governing the split between sensitivity and specificity in scenarios with uncertainty, though I don't know if it has a special name. Catching more edge cases in a poorly-defined group requires allowing the inclusion of more things that look a lot like edge cases, but cases on the edge of a group are by definition similar to things outside of the group. The more you want to eliminate false negatives the more likely you are to produce false positives.
These arguments between drivers and bikes are stupid.

Bikers ride like shit all the time. Drivers drive like shit all the time. Hell, pedestrians do stupid shit all the time too. Nobody is in some superior transportation group.

None of them know the actual rules of the road, and all assume they are correct and the ones in the right. You do any one of these things long enough, you'll see the stupid things the others do.
At a national level, the clearance rate for murders is ~61% per https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-... . Property crimes are <20%.

The FBI's UCR Data Explorer used to give you an easy to use breakdown of crimes and clearance rate at the national/state/metro/city level, but unfortunately they redesigned it and now it is both harder to use and presents less data. I guess that is one way to hide data that isn't favorable? There seems to be more emphasis on the danger presented to law enforcement officers, but the #1 cause of death for officers by a large margin, per https://www.odmp.org/search/year?year=2021, has been COVID.
I'm responding to:

> Anything you can think of, they’ve thought of and it’s on their roadmap.

Literally nothing about the linked site suggests that this is the case. The commenter I'm responding to is functioning on unbridled (and in my opinion, irrational) optimism for a company that has one demo video putting out a camp fire.

It takes more than hope to run a company. You have to have a viable idea and execution plan, too.
I'm very curious if this number is actually correct; in my experience "53%" overhead means the university adds a $0.53 "tax" on each dollar you spend, which works out to the university "taking" ~35% of the total amount. Still high, but not as high as I used to think.
I understood that was a cynical charge, raised because pretty much any intellectual could be accused of it. He had 'introduced new gods to the city' or some such. Basically by preying on old superstition, his enemies (who probably didn't give a flying whistle) used it to bring him down.
Ok, so go to me, I'll send the funds.

I feel like people want this centralized vision of money. Just give someone cash to do a transfer.

Why so bureaucracy? What's the point?
You're moving the goalposts. If we're going to enact policy for the betterment of society let us not stop at jabs. Let us enact anti-obesity mandates. We'll check your weight at the entrance to bars and restaurants.
It affects Airbus A220, Airbus A330, Boeing 737 and Boeing 787 most notibly.

In that it's mostly a US-issue (Europe has much better protection in this area, i.e. that 5G antenna must be directed downwards, the 787 is the biggest issue, as those are doing international flights with other carriers to US airports.

A220 is exclusively Delta in the US I believe.
They have a shockingly detailed model that they negotiate with the federal government ! https://cfo.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/facilities_and_...
You are correct, this is what I meant.

This is pretty common, as stupid as it is. Snapchat would do this too for jailbroken phones, only they'd also permanently ban your account. It was an arms race between snapchat and tweak developers masking jailbreak detection methods for years at least, maybe still ongoing.
More people are using Reddit and the average person is pretty dumb, so makes sense no?
Not in the sense nwiswell is using the term, where the issue is the legal obligations that surround the case of repossession in response to loan default. Context matters.

Even more to the point, driving your own car is not stealing it, either.
Small app size is one of the KPIs that I track for the app I develop.

Obviously there are user benefits to smaller apps, but as a developer I feel that the app size is a proxy for app complexity and dependencies. The smaller the app, the less third party dependencies and the less maintenance required to keep it up to date and running on the latest OS releases.

As a comparison, the biggest competitor to my app AdGuard is a 450MB download on the Mac versus a less than 10MB download for my app (Magic Lasso Adblock).

Do most users notice? Not sure but overtime I've actually made my app size smaller simply by replacing unnecessary third party libraries with in-built, simpler functionality and it's become a more pleasant app to maintain.
Actually the math doesn't work quite like that, but it's a common misconception. 53% indirect costs (overhead) is multiplied on the direct costs rather than the total amount, so it is actually 500K-500K/(1+0.53) = 173K taken by the university assuming the full amount can be charged indirect. In practice, some charges like tuition and equipment do not have indirects, so the actual amount taken by the university would be about 135K +- 35K out of the 500K. So you get about 365K of direct spendable money from the 500K if the overhead rate is 53% (as it is at the University of Tennessee where the author was).

The indirect cost rate is decided by the federal government based on data by the universities, so it's accounted for in the grant award amounts. So it's not as nefarious as it sounds.
I do this too!

I have [Messages/Slack/Chrome | Outlook/Notes/Chrome | iTerm3/Chrome] setup and easily swipe between them. Chrome is fixed in place on all of them b/c I frequently refer to websites while doing Slack/Outlook/coding work.

iTerm3 is running tmux, connected to my remove development env (I'm a Neovim person, no local IDE needed).

All those apps are tiled at full size, on a wide-screen monitor. It's a great way to organize based on task (chat, email, code) and easily switch between them.
Expecting marshmallow bunnies. Go away disappointed.
Thanks, I've investigated further, and what I found was convincing. I was particularly disturbed to find that Wikipedia says Steve Milloy (behind junkscience.com, and the author of GP's source) is a right-winger who also denies climate change and second-hand smoke.

In short: I was duped.

I don't know if you care, but although your arguments pushed me to investigate further, they weren't convincing on their own. They were histrionic and based on the actions of government bodies, not the underlying science.
>An uninformed vote is a misinformed vote.

Profoundly disagree. An uninformed voter may vote poorly. A misinformed voter will unequivocally vote poorly. I'll take my chances with the uninformed to not create a dystopian mess.
>he asked them to stop

According to the article, he did not ask, he had his attorneys send a letter demanding they stop using his name, which isn't quite the same. That's something you do after you did ask politely and were rejected and lost hope you can resolve such an issue amicably.

I am not saying the people working for Apple were right, or that their reaction was right, but Sagan does not look good to me either in his initial reaction.
Linux build, nice! getting ready for Steam Deck!
They're out there for sure. The problem is, entities that own feature length films usually have more pull (money and lawyers) to get it removed. Furthermore, other easier avenues exist for sharing movies.
What are some use cases for Int256?
At my institute, that's not how overhead is calculated. Overhead is a percentage of what the PI is budgeted for.

So for a $500K grant, 53% overhead really means about 34.6% of $500K. The university's cut is $173K, which is 53% of the PI's budget of $327K.
Facebook, Google, and other megacorps would be very happy when they're the only ones who can afford this - yet another barrier to entry to solidify their oligopoly.
I've heard that you also should care about optimizing the quality of the power supply since power fluctuations or brownouts are apparently what actually kills SD cards. Personally, I just use USB drives because they can boot off of that now, and I treat the device as semi-disposable and assume that I'm going to reimage its thumb drive every few months.
This is in response to someone who’s clearly infuriated by a wide variety of inefficiencies they see. The point is, no one is praising the people who do optimize their <whatever> because you would never know it was even an issue that got solved.
It ain't much better over here buddy.
They generally cast their net wider, but if you want to have a job offer lined up at one of them at graduation then it helps.

Later in the career though, all bets are off. You only have to get into an interview room and solve 5 questions on a whiteboard (6, if you include the phone screen). If you're in Silicon Valley and have "software engineer" on your LinkedIn profile you're guaranteed to get at least one shot at each company.

AV1 Encoding: Ab-Av1
This is ultimately why I decided not to pursue a PhD in astronomy, as the undergraduate of a lowly state school. You look around at faculty of any institution and they all were grads of Ivies, MIT, etc. By not getting into one of those schools for undergrad you're in for an uphill if not largely impossible battle to get any sort of career traction in academia.
Then why do dealerships typically charge so much more than other repair shops?
Yeah, I just gave the 30% unsolved in response to the comment about NYC having 70% clearance rates on homicides.
Two different government agencies with different incentives.

The FCC really wants to proceed with the 5G rollout. The FAA really wants to make sure aircraft don't crash. They do not agree with each other on this, so they each proceeded in the only way they administratively could...

The FCC continued with the 5G rollout, the the FAA recently banned use of approaches requiring a radio altimeter until each individual model can get recertified or upgraded - and the public will just have to tolerate additional travel delays for the next couple years as a result.
The funny thing about Go is how many different things you can recognise in it.

I have a little C experience (in the distant past -- PVM, lex/yacc, Xview). I also have a little Occam and Modula-2 experience. Lots of Java and from then on a bunch of less comparable interpreted languages.

Go feels idiomatically more like a Modula-2, Wirth-language expression of Occam to me than C.

I like an awful lot of it.

> The error handling also feels a bit weird.

I think it is deliberately weird; it is designed to make you consider error handling right up front, which is where the "system language" thing comes in. No cascade of exceptions.
GPUs used to be 2D oriented. You’re making me feel very old now, lol.

I don't think anybody object to binning CPUs based on what the chip can actually do. It's when Intel decides to sell chips with features fused off even though the silicon is fully functional that people start to get annoyed.
