There are several major traffic accidents in Atlanta every morning during rush hour on the most important arteries. Most of these are probably caused by tailgating or aggressive behavior during merging. They turn a 30 minute commute into a 90 minute commute if any lanes remain open.

I can’t imagine that the downstream effects of maintaining a safe following distance and permitting people to merge would cause anywhere near the inconvenience of these daily, destructive events.
Nope. Your statement acts like unions don’t involve trade offs - whatever your situation, unions will make it better.

The truth is there are trade offs - recognition of merit replaced by recognition of seniority, protection of bad workers (and the toxic effect on work culture that has) and “lowest common denominator” bargaining.

I’m certainly not saying unions don’t have a place, but workers should have a choice and in some cases, no union is actually the smart choice.

I am quite curious about using this keyboard without a mouse (in the demo video there seems to be a key called mouse, just above the left shift) - maybe someone who uses it as a mouse can chime in? Alternatively would be interested as well about the trackpoint module - does somebody use it? How precise is it to use it with a thumb, compared with the usage of an original ThinkPad trackpoint or is the TEX Shinobi [1].

The TEX Shinobi TrackPoint is for me much easier and better to use than on modern ThinkPad keyboard, was quite a surprise.

Personally, I just switched to AMD and never had to think about GPU drivers again.

Ok, I do have to add the non-free firmware when I install Debian, once every installation. But there are no random problems all the time, no "your card is too old for your computer to keep working", no "your card is too new for your computer", basically nothing more than adding a single package.

I imagine NVidia works really well on Windows, because people keep saying good things about them, and there is absolutely no chance somebody on Linux will ever say something good.

I haven't even bothered to read the article because the terrible graph suggests the author has an axe to grind rather than insight to provide.

Further, the data shown in the graph most likely reflects differences in how each car was measured, estimated, or marketed.

I would love to see a better article somewhere else, where the same range testing is applied to 10 different EVs in the same weather conditions. How far does each of these cars actually go when it is cold and miserable? How far does each go when the weather is perfect? Then put that on the graph.

I, too, had to look it up. This is about adding a (pseudo) perspective effect to the 2D canvas yes? There is an open issue in the whatwg/html repo[1] asking for this functionality - I have no idea whether the request will be taken forward by any browsers.

The current solution is to "roll your own" functionality. It is doable - for instance I've added such functionality to my canvas library[2]. The results work, but are slower than ideal.

This is an individual choice; people have motivations beyond "maximize usage of my code".
Not really. If you're considering multiversal interpretations then something that might be considered you exists across a multidimensional space with more axes than time, but it's still a finite and pretty much contiguous area.

Infinite possibilities does not mean every conceivable outcome happens.
Executing a military strategy with the brutal incompetence only Russia can muster.
This is a good point, and I agree. If there was a close call you can't actually say for sure if it would have been a collision without the software.
Missing that point that it's not a simple worker-bee relationship and doing it is the job of the manager, not a fact about engineers.

What the manager should be doing is aligning the direction of higher-ups and developers. This takes being able to clearly understand and communicate interests and needs two-ways.

As an IC I've always been vocal about the technical needs of product or platform development as it grows and expands capabilities. There's no chance higher-ups would know these things without being exposed to situations as they develop. At the same time I have to learn about the longer-term product direction and how to sequence development, and in particular research that can uncover the unknown unknowns heading in that direction. I'm lucky to have access to information and background that lets me make good guesses. This is the kind of process that the manager should be creating and refining.

The problem is that too many 'technical' managers behave as middle managers, merely allocating developers to teams by skillset (or worse title Sr/Jr Frontend/Backend) to projects picked by product managers and let project managers try to make it work. Instead of remembering all those times as an engineer that a timely refactor would have saved the company so much money and pain and getting key ones 'in the books', they take the easy route agreeing with the hand that feeds and only aim to satisfy one side's requirements without trying to fully understand the other's.
If that's the case, then I stand corrected, but it does not change my point that a single company being able to bottleneck a resource is problematic.
> stealing their revenue is not sustainable.

No, that’s not stealing. Yes, it is sustainable (as evidenced by Brave’s ongoing viability as a company).

There used to be a free ISP called NetZero that would give you free dial up if you ran an app that ran at the bottom of your screen and showed ads. I used to adjust the screen so those 100 pixels (or whatever) didn’t show. That wasn’t stealing.

On my hardware, I can do whatever I want with what you send me. If you send me ads, I can choose not to look at them. I can write a program that hides the ads. I can use someone else’s program to hide the ads.

It’s strange that somehow my behavior is “stealing” and that shows a bizarre intellectual outlook on reality, to me.

Am I stealing when I mute ads on broadcast tv?

Am I stealing when I don’t look at billboards on the side of the road?

Am I stealing if I write an AR app that replaces billboards with pictures of kittens? (Or other ads?)

Finally, brave runs great with ads and crypto turned off. So I frequently run it as a “free-loader” and am grateful to the people who watch the ads and use the crypto to keep them in business.
Yes. They can use their military base for staging additional wars.
I wish people would get together to agree upon a public domain alike software license that everyone finds acceptable.

That'd mean:

Can we have that?
Canvas is great - I've been using it as a fallback for those who don't want to use webgl (regl) on some of the plots on PlotAPI and PlotPanel, e.g. https://plotpanel.com/explore/view/0568f7a0-8ef8-4ef3-8bd4-b...
I find it weird that nobody is seeing this in tech.

The automovotive market used to have garage based startups a long time ago. It used to have fierce competition and workers could get pay raises without unions.

Then gradually everything fell under 3 big companies, workers fought the concentration of market power by unionizing (and lost) and for decades there was just the big 3.

It's not even a question of if or even who tech will consolidate under any more - it will be someone who is currwently a household name. It is when.

It's coming.

>No one speaks proto slavic, so it is all conjectures based on languages that were spoken more recently

Not really. Written Slavic exists since 9 century and it was spelt vs- already back then. Serbo-Croatian is an outlier here because all other Slavic languages have vs-.

Baltic languages are related to Slavic and Old Prussian had "wissa" for "all" (not "siva")
I found the brake fluid freezing comment interesting. Quite a bit conflicting info on it when I do a search.

Some places say the fluid doesn't actually freeze but becomes too viscous to function properly. Others say it's condensation in the vacuum booster line, effectively making them non-power brakes. And still others say the fluid itself won't freeze, but the water it absorbed will.
From what I’ve read, the 3 Slavic families are mutually intelligible within a family, but not between. Edge cases exist eg in the borderlands between Poland and Belarus/Ukraine.

So this could go a long way towards closer Slavic relations. In the communist days it was common for the northern slavs to vacation in Yugoslavia for example. Maybe a language like this could reignite a sense of unity, but divorced from Russian hegemony as it was in the past. Wishful thinking however.
English has a lot of synonyms, redundancy, alternatives, ways-to-say, and overlapping constructs. In that context, the many English words for lie is an uninformative truth. English has so many words for lie because English has too many words for everything.
I would guess that when a dimension is "changed" (in this case it's not changed, but it is assigned), the canvas is recreated, along with all its internal state.
On average, my experience suggests: yes, definitely.

Yes, that is the logical extension of this agenda. Let's make sure it won't be implemented.

What would your strategy for working with raw image data and implementing a digital “zoom” that doesn’t do any anti aliasing or smoothing? My current thought is to just have an original copy of the data and then the current canvas is just a smaller subset of the original data when zoomed. So a 100x100 pixel image when zoomed 1x would take a 50x50 subset based on the center of the viewport and copy each pixel into a 2x2 to get back to a 100x100 image.
It is in spite of these differences that employers have great leverage, not because of them.

It's plain to see that the inherent coordination problems facing workers are much harder than the ones facing managers. It's plain to see that a capitalist is far better positioned to negotiate a labor contract than someone trying to feed their family.

Please explain how history has repeatedly shown capitalists more ready, willing, and able to exploit their position. See the recent labor price-fixing scandal in the tech industry for one relevant example.

I was curious also, so went looking. Here are some relevant stackoverflow questions: [1], [2]. Basically, setting the width of the canvas to any value different than the current width clears the canvas, because it forces the browser to re-allocate the relevant bitmap. Current implementations don't check if the width value is different, just re-allocate the bitmap anyways. Hence the trick.

He makes a good point here though: if the threat of nuclear war stops NATO from intervening now, why wouldn't it stop them from responding to a relatively minor transgression? Do we expect Putin to believe that we won't risk nuclear war to save Ukranians, but we will risk it over the technical violation of a treaty? If the west does nothing now, they will likely be willing to tolerate more and still do nothing. He knows that.
Yes, klonopin helps reduce my tinnitus. And Tofisopam drug is a different type of benzodiazepine (not for sale in the U.S. or Canada) which blocks the glutamate AMPA receptor.

Glutamate excitotoxicity is at the core of tinnitus, and this is why diet also effects the strength and appearance of my tinnitus.

> Not sure if all of the cockpit is in that sim; there are 6 seats!

That would be correct, like the AN-124 the An-225 has a crew of 6 (plus 2 loadmasters I think?). While the planes were retrofit and modernised they kept a pretty heavy crew scheme, nominal crew is 2 pilots, 2 FE, and 2 comms. Might be that they didn’t see the need to change the crew scheme, or might be the origins in strategic military transportation (the C5 also has a hefty crew with FEs).

of which, /s serves us well.
Upvoted. I lived in Detroit and remember the news articles even from the early 2000’s with workers clocking in, then leaving and spending their shift drinking at strip clubs. Naturally the unions protected them.

I remember the UAW contract then where existing new hires kept their equivalent to $50/hr total comp and all new hires after that got $16/hr. The union more than willing to throw new workers under the bus to keep the older workers happy. Worker solidarity be damned - “fuck you I got mine”

American auto companies deserved to die. It was an absolute pit of rot and sloth. And I fully blame management too - they went along with it because it was the easy thing to do and ignoring union problems still let them meet their targets.
Setting the width or height clears the canvas, so I guess it's just an ugly hack.

This kind of thing is why I think we are much farther away from true L5 self-driving than many others think. To handle current road conditions you need true AGI with the ability not just to see as well as humans can but to interpret what you see, as well as theory of mind and contextual awareness of the drivers around you.

What I think will ultimately happen instead is we’ll adapt the roads to allow self-driving by dumber computers. For example, a self-driving lane on highways where there are sensors on the road to help the cars, and where all the cars in the lane must be self-driving and in communication with each other to do things like maintain stopping distance.
This blows my mind! I knew you couldn't possibly store so much in tanks, but the idea to pump it into the ground is really insane.

A bit off topic, but commenting on footnotes is fair play: I don't believe that 'let' is in fact autoantonymic.

A let is more-or-less lost, as a noun in English, but in the form inlet and outlet it remains ubiquitous. In "let or hindrance" we might observe that a right of travel (a let) might well be a hindrance to other uses of the property.

A let in tennis is so-called because you 'let' the server try again. The sense is clearly one of permission to the player, not hindrance by the net.

What's needed is a reduction in working hours plus a guarantee that monthly (or weekly/yearly/whatever time period makes most sense) take-home pay will remain largely unchanged—so if we're pushing for a reduction from a 40-hour to a 32-hour work week, hourly wages should be increased by 25% to compensate.
He's very good at stirring the pot, but I wonder if he has our best interest in mind making these claims. I still don't think any country in the world is keen on nuclear warfare, at least not yet, because not even Putin is that much of a fanatic. Xi definitely isn't.

I read about setting up defenses and waiting to repel invaders, but I was wondering if you know about any Ukrainian army offensives.

In my experience, tailgaters are never satisfied by the speed of the car in front of them. The only good play is to leave enough space in front to stop without getting rear-ended.

In Atlanta, people will tailgate in spite of a wide open lane to the left and the driver in front going the speed of the road. I’m not going to tailgate the person in front of me just because the person behind me is tailgating.

In this case the brave install is a pretty straightforward Yes/No prompt with focus on Yes so people will tap it out of habit.

I think the important factor is the harm in the default action. In this case, it shows ad notifications (pretty annoying) and accrues crypto coins (pretty invisible). I’d be angrier if it consented to sharing all data for whatever purposes they’d like (ie, apps that upload all contacts and photos).
Of course, Autopilot gives driver visual and audio warnings before stopping, and it takes a while to activate. It does so because it's a Level 2 system and requires driver's supervision. In absence of supervision it has to stop as it's not autonomous.
