Morgan G. Ames

Morgan G. Ames's book, The Charisma Machine: The Life, Death, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child (MIT Press, 2019), chronicles the history and effects of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why - despite its failures - the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to "disrupt" education and development. Ames is on the faculty of the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley.

Rust has a similar-ish API for durations, Duration::from_milis(1000) or Duration::from_secs(1) in the type system, and the method can just take a Duration struct and transform it into whatever internal representation it wants.

There is a Duration::new() constructor that's more ambiguous, but it's your choice as a dev to be ambiguous in this instance, and code review should probably catch that.
Profit is different for different items at different businesses.

I'm not a Business Major or anything, but I'm guessing the median mark-up on items is 100% (50% profit). Thus if I get a 40% discount on something (like a mattress), the seller is still most likely making a 20% profit.
“No” is too abrasive in most situations, but any flavor of “Sorry, it won’t be possible.” is a valid complete response to be processed by the person asking.

I am sympathic to author’s argument that you stay there with a valid explanation upon request and start work it out with the other party from there as needed.

Clearly stating that something won’t happen is a first important step. It often gets muddied if you start diving into menial details right away.

In particular, if as the author states, it’s a conclusion you’ve already reached and the situation will need to change to get to any different outcome.

> It is the only thing you need to say when you know you won’t be able to do something no matter how much the other party tries to get you to agree.
For me it's the colour of the tmux status bar.
Guess you don't have any allergies. Almost any dog or cat or furred animal will trigger a serious allergic reaction for me. If I continue to be exposed I'll have a major asthma attack.

You gonna be responsible for my medical bills? Nope I wouldn't think you'd care much considering your post.

Sorry but any tiny benefit you might gain from having a dog is not worth the danger to my health. I love peanuts but I won't eat any in a plane or other confined space because people's health is a higher priority than my taste buds.
It's not really overloading. it is associative:

2*time.Hour+1*time.second == time.Second+time.Hour*2
So long it's deployed on laptops by default, probably not.
I think people are underestimating the sheer magnitude and infectiousness of this virus. Even if chances of longer effects are on par with the flu, it's MUCH more prevalent and infectious. Over the past year, we've had about one wave per season. We're quickly reaching a point where it's reasonable to expect most people will catch it every year or so, and it's entirely possible and maybe likely to get it multiple times a year.

While 3-6 months is a standard recovery timeline for longer term effects, many people are looking at years or a lifetime of serious effects. I'm close to someone who is still recovering from mono over 2 years later. Their entire life has been upended, their career is over, and most of their passions are now physically impossible.

We're looking at many millions of people of people being temporarily or permanently disabled every year on top of previous contributors like flu, etc. Many people don't have the resources to be exhausted and struggling with cognition for months. How many billions of years of life will collectively be deleted over the coming years? I believe this is worse than we realize, and it's going to get worse sooner than we're ready for.
The article itself gives a few plausible reasons with police blaming the DA and the DA blaming the police.

> Some former police officials said in interviews that officers don’t feel it is worth making an arrest in low-level cases because they assume the district attorney won’t file charges. They also point to a statewide ballot measure passed in 2014—Proposition 47—that raised the dollar amount at which theft can be prosecuted as a felony from $400 to $950.

> Mr. Boudin has pointed the finger back at the police, arguing that the certainty of arrest is low in San Francisco compared with other cities. More consistent arrests of criminals, he has said, would be a more powerful deterrent than the length of prison sentences.

Regardless of what side you take, combine an increase in crime with the fact it is unlikely that people will be prosecuted or arrested and it seems reasonable to think that could lead people to just deciding it isn't worth the time to report the crime.
not sure when you used it but you should try it again now... i have been on Lightroom and Capture One for years, tried DT last year and never bothered coming back to them, nothing to do with it being open source its just straight up a better raw editor, yes its hard to learn but once you figure it out you will see how much better it handles editing raw images, especially with the filmic module
When you see the amount of waste generated by hospitals, I would think twice before increasing the risk of food poisoning....
I bought a Fire Stick off FB Marketplace recently, and received an unprompted and pretty racist communication from the seller that I was the "first white guy to contact her and the only person who didn't try to low-ball." It really weirded me out and I ended up kind of calling her out on it so that she backed down and apologized— though even that was weird, I was like "Ma'am, I'm not the one who is hurt by you having these attitudes; don't apologize to me, please just try to do better in the future."
And what exactly are we going to have them do that doesn't suck and isn't low wage?

The point you are missing is that jobs that suck still have to be done. If we ship many the low/medium skill jobs over seas and then automate many of the remaining ones, what are those people to do? Surely if they were able to get a higher paying job that didn't suck they would have done so.

The better solution is to make sure we appropriately value tasks that are necessary and have some level of potential self sufficiency should we find ourselves in a global event like conflict, famine, etc. Not to mention, the non-industrial farms are generally better for animals and the environment. This shouldn't be a race to the bottom.
Not doing research doesn’t mean they are decades out of touch. What gives you that conclusion?
Underfloor heating has an 8 hour turn on/off lag time. It's nearly useless out here in the SF Bay area, since we go from short sleeve to jacket weather every day, almost year round.

Our air source heat pump is much quieter than old air conditioners. For efficiency, it has a giant, slow, variable speed fan. It's usually not running anywhere near full speed, and is still quiet when it does. Similarly, the blowers in the ducts are variable speed.
Any surveillance should require specific warrants, with such requests automatically becoming public at some point. Basically follow the Fourth Amendment.
Related question: What's people's preferred diff tool for code and directories of code on macOS? I haven't found one I liked since the Catalina update killed 32-bit apps.
Yes. You get a full Linux shell. You can deploy images and some already with hashcat installed

Discord API is guilty of one of these very examples, they send a retry-after header on 429 responses, but the thing is.. is it in Bananas? Apples? Elephants?
I prefer the way my company does it. There is no negotiation. Roles are fixed and everyone in the same role makes the same amount of money. If you get hired for a certain role you will make the associated salary and not a dollar more or less.
YMMV, but most attempts at negotiation that I see when selling on Craigslist are just lame. A camera that goes new for $1000, up for $800, the ad says "firm", you get boring low-effort "will you take $500?" nonsense. Maybe it works on some people, but it just inclines me towards ignoring them.
Passing the time unit as a second parameter is used a lot in Java APIs and seems to work well

With supply chain issues, cars are not very negotiable right now. Supply chain issues notwithstanding, used cars are trickier to negotiate because you can't go to another dealer and buy the exact same item like you can with new cars.
A lot of people are scared of needles, too. And yet we still inject people all the time.
In Ruby that would be

I mean you can haggle before agreeing to meet but when you drive across town and then the guy says “I can only do X” it’s pretty rude.
Well, around 2% of PC users use Linux. It might be a small percentage but in absolute terms it's still a big number of users. And about 25% of developers use Linux.

And about 90% of phone users use Android, which is (distantly) based on Linux. That's a lot of users!
In russian satire London is often depicted as a laundry/safe haven for stupid and ignorant oligarchs from esUSSR. It's more a status symbol that something really useful.
time.sleep_seconds is appealing, but this approach doesn't work when a function takes additional arguments. for example, if your function is

poll_file_descriptors(read_descriptors, write_desciptors, timeout_in_seconds)

it would be awkward to change the name of the function just because on of the arguments happens to refer to time.
Because they scale to more than one node is a very important feature.
Ah, yeah. I think there has been a shift to this as 'customer demand' has tilted in that direction.

In my experience at a large state school, students could sign up for rigorous humanities courses if they wanted to. (e.g. by avoiding the 'popular' courses in auditorium rooms, etc.). Although it's a bit of a shame that it's not universal, and that the student culture often demands "the easy gen-eds"

At the end of the day, I think this is a cultural problem in some humanities departments. It's not unheard of for some STEM departments to fail 50% of their incoming students. I guess the appetite to hold the same standard in other departments just isn't there?
I am only superficially familiar with the state of these wireless protocols. A lot of both enterprise and OSS-community attention for wireless mesh and IoT seems to be focused around (proprietary, patented) LoRa/LoRaWAN.

Did you consider them, and what made you decide on UWB? What are pros/cons in your opinion for a use-case like Hyperspace?
Do you have a better idea for how society should determine where to direct society’s resources other than using prices?

Prices and movements in prices indicate where supply is needed (or not needed). I have not yet seen a better mechanism.
the article mentions strong types
I believe that's illustrating commutativity, not associativity.
I recently worked on some disk file formats (.vmdk, .vhd), and I always put the units in the name, because I'm always switching byte, sectors, blocks. Same for addresses, is it a LBA on the virtual disk, or an offset in the disk image file.
It's funny how much it's been becoming more difficult it is to tweak Windows with janky workarounds compared to just installing a Linux distro altogether

For me it’s the one that’s built into JetBrains IDEs.

Although for directories I believe it only works when combined with Git. I’ve never tried to compare 2 directories of code in a situation that wasn’t a Git changeset.
This is capitalism in general as of the last ~30 years. Profits are continuously rising, with investors and senior management taking the largest checks home so they too can become small time accredited investors of their own 8,9-digit net worths. To add, covid was the perfect scapegoat to shifting liability to in order to move tons of wealth higher up and away from the lower and middle classes: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/11/business/ceo-pay-compensa...
That can only happen when those other OSs match the level of functionality, reliability, and support that windows enjoys. I would love to switch my main OS to a Linux distro but it is still unstable enough and not supported enough that I can't reasonably switch.

As far as I can tell, our best hope is for Linux to improve at the same rate or faster as it has over the last 5 years for at least the next 5. Only then will Microsoft start to face any meaningful competition in operating systems.
IDE hints like this are useful when you're writing the code, but not so useful when you're reviewing it in online code review tools.

I wish code review tool could provide this hover functionality too.
The major problem we have is that covid affect many organs including the heart.

This lead to cell death and regeneration all over, but with the aging of the organs affected.

In the case of the heart, there is almost no regeneration, mostly scarification. That mean the even young persons not feeling bad from covid could lose years of heart health.

The same apply to the mRNA vaccine if it is injected in a vein by error and goes to the heart.

Omicron seems to stay more in upper respiratory and thus being of less concern.

There is a bunch of things people can do to increase their chances of it being mild:

Last time I tried Ubuntu it exclaimed I'm not "the owner" of my external hard drive and wouldn't let me access my files. Very fundamental basics completely broken somehow.
Does virtio-wayland support accelerated graphics? It's not clear to me how that would work, since accelerated graphics drivers typically include hardware-specific userland code that has to run in the application.
Both Lazzara and Meier said what happened in Antarctica is probably just a random weather event and not a sign of climate change. But if it happens again or repeatedly then it might be something to worry about and part of global warming, they said.
Very cool.
But looking at it in perspective,

Unlike Henry David Thoreau and Chelsea Manning that served time in jail for defying the law on moral grounds. Snowden has chosen to live in Russia to avoid jail. Not sure if this has accomplished his desire to live in a country that does not spy on its people, jail political enemies, push journalist out windows and poison people.
Yeah, well, the logical reaction to that is to use minimal tools and unix and actually measure a supposed fault before attempting to work on it. First get it working, then get it working well. Usually the overriding business architectural considerations are achieving functionality within reasonable time and money, using existing HR, and without creating too much technical debt. Characteristics of specific components are generally not high on the list. This can be different in high availability systems, safety related systems, long-term stability fault-recovery-required systems and other special use cases. But for 99% of enterprise, HTTP @ 10Mbps + solid tools like the filesystem or sqlite3 will do it. Scaling becomes easy because you're on 100% known interfaces, so swapping any given component out is trivial, ie. future-proofing exists by default. Interfaces before implementation.

ISO 8601 specifies durations [1]. For example, Java's Duration type [2] is based upon it.

Depending on your language, and how much type safety you want, you could use something Haskell's units library [3].

I believe F# also has units [4], possibly built in to the language? (I've never used F#.)

To clarify, he didn't make bank off of Yahoo crashing, he just locked in the value of his shares at $85. It's not like he profited from Yahoo crashing, it's more that after buying the puts he guaranteed a worst case outcome if Yahoo crashed. If Yahoo didn't crash and just stayed at $95, he'd still have made the same amount of money.

If Yahoo went up in value by a significant amount, he'd have actually been better off (he'd have lost value on his options but regained all of it and then some on the value of his stock).
Technically Ruby only accepts seconds. You're thinking of ActiveSupport from Rails.
I enjoy architecture and interior design photos on IG.

In the future I imagine that computer generated renderings will be impossible to distinguish from photographs.

Sometimes I wonder if next generation algorithms will not only show you what it thinks you like but also create the visual content it thinks you like as well.
That made no sense so I followed your link and found that C is uncontrived not contrived, which then makes perfect sense.

Every option has either 2 words that make no sense, or one word that makes no sense with "her movements were natural" and one that does. Only option C has two words which make sense with both. This question is just basic English comprehension and should be on every exam.
I hope late millenials and generation Z rediscover types soon.
There's been a big shift in the whole software industry from "enable what the user wants to do" over to "we want the user to do this". Back in the '90s, we would go out, talk to customers, find out their needs, gather requirements, and write software that enables them to do what they want to do. Now, in a lot of software companies, it's the opposite. Product leadership starts with "What do we want users to do?" and then every software decision is in service of encouraging / forcing / channeling users' behavior into these paths. I've sat in product meetings where people would just say "No, the user should not be allowed to do ABC, we (Company) need them to do XYZ!" It's arrogance, it's hubris and it's everywhere.

The slogan "Where do you want to go today?" is dead. It's now all "This is where we will let you go today!"
I’m not a Go developer, but I understand that from a type and mathematical theory perspective Go’s time.Duration is extraordinarily awful, because of Go’s simplistic type system.

int64 * Duration → Duration and Duration * int64 → Duration both make sense, but I gather this only works with constants. For other values, I believe Go only gives you Duration * Duration → Duration which is just wrong, wrong, wrong, requiring that one of the two “durations” actually be treated as though unitless, despite being declared as nanoseconds.

In the end, it’s probably still worth it, but it’s a case of Go trying to design in a certain way for ergonomics despite lacking the type system required to do it properly. I have found this to be a very common theme in Go. Also that it’s often still worth it, for they’ve generally chosen their compromises quite well. But I personally don’t like Go very much.
Or use an IDE? Here[0] is a screenshot of the Java example in idea, not only does it show an inlayed parameter name hint, but simply mousing over the method will show you the documentation.

OS X virtualization is well supported by Parallels if you're on a Mac and are willing to pay for software (it's a just a few clicks via the GUI to set up and they offer a trial). I haven't tried it under windows, but it's still eminently possible.

They basically decompiled youtube's apk, modify and and repackaging it as Vanced, so off course they can't release their "source code" because it's not theirs (except the modified parts).
Dr. Daniel Griffin on This Week In Virology works with long covid patients and is starting to see the first Omicron induced LC patients coming in. The variant has only been around for a few months, so by definition we won't have as many LC patients from it yet. Research takes time, and we're just starting to see the effects of this strain. We have no reason to be confident that Omicron won't induce LC.
Pretend you make a video about the best gay movie stars, because you're gay and you like to document your role models. You're doing something that doesn't involve genitals or anything explicit, but is per se sexual because gayness is by definition a sexual topic.

Post it to YouTube, and you get demonetized because you're making sexual content (worst case). Or your viewers get recommended videos about sex toys too (average case).

I think there is a pretty hard line between straight porn and sexual content that is pretty easy to police, but the problem remains that conservative approaches towards sex tend to stifle the experiences of people who aren't sexually conservative.

People have a set of assumptions that they make when they hear "movie star" (straight white man). When you add more adjectives (gay movie star, female movie star, black movie star), those are assumptions are broken and we are no longer in the land of "normal" movie stars, but "sexual" "political" and "ethnic" ones. I didn't read the article bc fuck Wired but I can assume they're pushing for openness towards sex bc it allows us to be more open to those who have an identity strongly rooted in sex (which honestly should be everyone even if you're straight)
The lack of large scale Eastern Europe colonization of the world, the avoidance of slave trade, and avoidance of foreign slave labor utilization is a clue as to why there was a developmental difference.

Moral superiority is not rewarded in the short term but it will be in the long term. There is a reason the largest economies in the Eastern and Southern world are more responsive to Russia's needs as the western world is clamping down today. Their historical reputation as a moral outlier is being rewarded.
I see this argument in every thread about Linux. There's always this one magical user where everything "just works", has had 0 issues and everything's just dandy.
Funny I would assume it would be around a decade before people switch but 20 years seems to be the trend indeed :)
In my opinion it's mostly a pattern where you make sure that all sub-tasks are fully contained within child tasks and never outlive them. You can model that patten in most programming languages - e.g. as you do in JS.

However there can be environments which have structured concurrency baked in and thereby enforce the pattern. Kotlin coroutines are one example here.
