> Huh, is this tractable?

My opinion is "yes" - the source is available and runs as a docker container, the client setup is pretty trivial (on Android you'll need Fennec or another alternate build of Firefox to get at the settings). I'm aware of one user group running a shared instance and it seems to work as advertised.

Yes, though I'd say subjective vs. objective rather than qualitative vs. quantitative. Type safety is a quality, not a quantity (unless you're counting the expressions that type-check!).
I really hope this happens in Canada as well. There's a trend of these subscription services (coffee, food boxes, cat litter, etc.) that make it impossible to cancel without calling, chatting or emailing. Worse than that, they don't let you cancel, but they will suspend the service for x months. Even worse than that, they don't even allow you to remove your credit card without contacting them which really should be against some consumer protection laws. How can they keep my credit card info and not allow me to easily delete it?
If you have $120k today and the choice is invest $120k immediately or $10k a month for the next 12 months, based on historical trends, it is better to invest the 120k today -- studies have shown lump sum beats DCA about 2/3 of the time.

Naturally, if you have $0 today, but are going to have 10k of additional free cash each month for the next 12 months, then 10k each month as soon as possible beats waiting a year for the full 120k.

Chaospills – Generating Art from Chaos
Nice! Using it now for a trip I'm leaving on in a few hours. :D

It would be nice to share a link that folks can suggest, without signing up. Kinda hard to get a bunch of people to make accounts on something last minute, and I'd be okay being the one who slots suggestions into times and does general management.

EDIT: Adding events is a bit painful. I've been conditioned to click on a calendar where I want the event, then fill in details. Running through every field of a date time in order (day, hour, am/pm, etc) for start and end is a lot of friction.

Yeah but only if they're not changing them every few years - and we thought Micro USB would last for a while.

one charger in my home office, two in the bedroom, one in the living room, one per office building - that's 6 of them already accounted for, no spares.

I like the idea of unbundling them, but in the end I keep buying additional ones anyway...
Just to open up the discussion, I am looking at the FMI [1] standard as a way to describe the interface of different block codes. And then try to generate the FMI description from static analysis of the Python function definitions.

That’s my current plan of study. But as I said earlier, I have some background in static typing in Java, and I might find the current state of the art in Python not to be adapted to my idea.

To get a rough idea - is it faster or slower than HEVC encoding on a CPU (without any hardware encoder)?
In the first case, I agree. One can cherry pick past data and find some basket of stocks that outperforms the market. But in practice the funds that do this tend to underperform, so it seems like something that is unlikely to be successful in practice.

The second point is more interesting. The author is arguing the current simple heuristic for "value indexes" is over-inclusive. He cite two specific classes of stock for this: cyclical stocks (like gun manufacturers) and those in long-term decline (like malls). If the author is right, there probably is a way to revise these indexing heuristics (still not specific stock picking). I think the smart-beta wave a few year back tried some things like this.
> You'd think with their near-useless GPUs that were weaker than M1's software rendering that nobody could use them.

The point is to delegate rendering away from the GPU, which is obviously a waste of compute no matter how you look at it. Every computer is capable of software rendering (my i5 520m can software-render for crying out loud), but we live in a more civilized age; even weak GPUs do their job to prevent the CPU from being unnecessarily bogged down with a task it's not good at. We do this so your computer doesn't insta-break when you plug in an external display, we do this so that CPU cores don't get pinned when you start scrolling a webpage, we do this because software rendering is bad. It doesn't matter if you're doing it on an i9 12900k or a first-gen Raspberry Pi; the goal is to not waste CPU cycles on it in the first place. This shouldn't even be up for debate in the first place.
And yet 900 million people fail to overthrow their supposedly oppressive government? They're in on it.

> This is unfounded. Also Apple bought the rights to BSD before FreeBSD existed.

You're right. But they still poach millions of lines from FreeBSD for XNU/Darwin, since the patches are largely compatible. One would think they'd be willing to give back to the developers who write their code for them, but you'd be mistaken. Much like the App Store, it would appear that Apple is interested more in squeezing value from whoever they can and throwing them aside when they no longer make a case for their value.

"The BSD portion of the OS X kernel is derived primarily from FreeBSD, a version of 4.4BSD that offers advanced networking, performance, security, and compatibility features."

Yes, the browser engine that had to be forked because Apple neglected it for so long. Brilliant example!

> and also brought us CUPS

Nope. That would be Michael Sweet. Apple later hired the main developer behind the effort, and adopted the standard as their own. Same thing happened with LLVM, so don't go around spreading those particular lies.

Got anything else? All of your examples seem to be instances where Apple has neglected Open Source or just threw money at something they were incapable of competing with.

Where is the split, mechanical, symmetrical ortholinear with customizable firmware and thumb clusters that costs meaningfully less than that?

I wound up on the ErgoDox EZ due to wrist and arm pain that it helped significantly.

All of those features contributed to the pain reduction, as far as I can tell (based on the slow series of keyboard changes I went through).

This is not a rhetorical question - if there's a significantly cheaper option that meets my needs, I want to know.
> The solution is fairly obvious, create a system that rewards people fairly for their contributions.

It seems to me that an excellent way to achieve that would be to actually use our anti-monopoly laws to properly regulate our market places. Over centralization, be it in a committee or in a cartel, has the same results.

Colleges Can Avoid Shutting the Door on Financial Aid Knowledge
Let's simplify the moral calculus. You are a public health official with total authority over messaging. You are faced with a public health issue that could possibly be existential- that is, there is an estimated nonzero risk that if you fail to act, all of society could be wiped out. Do you: allow for free speech, risking total annihilation (because your freedom of speech principles are more important than societal existence), or disallow free speech during the emergency, while also agreeing to suspend it when well defined criteria are reached?

I pick the latter. However, COVID itself was never existential (some fracction of people are immune, or get sick and then don't die, but instead reproduce, and over time, genetic immunity increases due to natural selection), although it was absolutely a threat to a healthy global economy (which in turn determines how much health care is available to society). So the calculus is more complicated. Probably, it's best to: promote the correct message, while allowing dissenting opiniions to be stated, but firmly refuted, and people who are saying things that are outright risky ("inject bleach") are shut down with the full force of law.
Python is strongly typed though, in addition to being dynamically typed like you said. I think that makes Python a great language for type hints. I know the language won't do an unexpected conversion the way javascript would, yet variables aren't confined to just one type since it's dynamic - and the type hints don't hinder that at all. It's basically just an extra feature in Python for helping lint tools and as documentation for the user.

That's not really an option for me due to various family constraints, remote not being the best option for me, and my location being less than ideal.

It won't. Been there, done that, doesn't work.
And what about the other half? Probably options with fewer or no stocks. You can also do in-service rollover to an IRA somewhere else with more options and no custodial fees.
> The top 1 percent of the income distribution is composed largely of executives, financiers, consultants, lawyers, and specialist doctors who report extremely long work hours, sometimes more than seventy a week.

Be extremely skeptical of this claim by the super-rich of 70-hour work weeks. I can't find it now but a while back there was a graphic going around by an exec who charted out how he spends his work time. A huge proportion consisted of things like going to the gym and getting haircuts--activities that us common rabble have to call "time off."

>The model f revival exists for collectors and is functional, but is just bespoke enough to me that it's more of a collector's item than a mass product.

Definitely not a mass product. The project IMO is a disaster even for a group buy type thing. I ordered long after it was an existing product and tons of people received theirs already and come to find out at that point it was still going to be a year+ wait for most people and they under no circumstances will attempt to even ballpark how long its going to take. There's a lot of work involved for the guy running the project but it would be nice to know if I'm looking at waiting 3 months, 6 months, a year, or more. Delays are understandable but that's not all that's going on here.
I think what is missing from all of those languages you suggest is them providing an intersection of those niches.

Yes I am quite sure for any specific niche there is a language that is better suited than Python (though I would argue with a lot of your choices there). But let's say I want a readable language that is good at data science, web backend, and provides a system glue. Python handles that much better than all the others you mentioned.

Also the one choice I am going to explicitly call out is Rust as a good systems glue language. In fact a very common practise I see now is all the good Rust libraries are getting Python bindings and made available on PyPI so all that power of Rust for systems programming can be used in Python as the glue language.

Presumably those conflicts of interest would be well understood by everyone at the table, and the other companies with a heavier stake on the devices side (Panasonic, Pioneer, Sony, etc) would hold Apple accountable for any obvious attempts to sabotage the standard.
Aaah I wanted to make something like this! Good to see someone actually do it.
I see it more as similar to the hotrod/car enthusiast scene. A certain crowd loves to spend time customizing their cars. Mechanical keyboards seem similar to me. It's just a fun activity.

A friend of mine got into it, designing custom PCBs, designing layered laser cut acrylic or 3d printed cases. They've made 5-6 keyboards. Some small, some split, some angular, the latest one is curved. They sent me one of their designs and it was fun to build one, though expensive. Total cost with all tools etc for me at least was ~$700. But hey, I'm an overpaid engineer and I a the keyboard 8-12hrs a day. I've been using it since I built it (18 months or so)

> Your pricing seems way too low (in my opinion). Creating API docs is not very common, so your customers might not be that many.

Inclined to disagree on this one. I feel like creating API docs is uncommon largely because the tools are bad (and what tools do exist tend to be expensive). I think success for this kind of company might involve creating a market for documentation by lowering the barrier to entry.

Huh? You can also notice objective differences in audio. Whether those differences are good or not is subjective, but that applies to both keyboards and audio.
>Why limit this to self employed people? The cap is there for all workers. And self employed people pay double the tax - if you are not self employed, your employer is paying half of it. Self employed people already have a larger burden.

I know, I am self employed. I didn't think there was the same cap for all workers? If there is, then I agree it should be removed (or at least substantially increased).

>Because then people won't invest in ... much

Yes they will. There are always people who still want to make more money.

>If you think investing is such a bad thing with low returns, then let them have their long term capital gains tax.

I never said it's low returns- I said it's a bad thing that this is supposed to be the default way to make money. There's a huge difference there in philosophy.

And look.. the LT capital gains is not my first go to exactly.. but, I do think it's far too low and again it's something that just disproportionately advantages the rich.

Honestly that's my whole point on the investing front. This entire system was created to benefit people who already have lots of capital. My view is hoarding capital to make more capital should not be the goal of life.. but greed knows no bounds.
To this day I wish things like WWV (https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/time-di...) worked better. Folks from Ninja Networks attempted to use something like that on their DEFCON 17 badges (https://www.wired.com/2009/08/hacking-the-defcon-17-badges/) but it required folks to be stationary too long to sync time.

Seeing as most major appliances are stationary it would have struck me as a good fit (with the exception of time zones / DST).

I would definitely use this, but Google Cal has most of these features, except the voting part.

I didn't try the Moonlander but I had an Ergodox-Ez which was its predecessor. I ended up making a dactyl manuform and it was my favorite out of every keyboard I've tried. Just wish it was easier to make one with RGB so I can program different colors for different layers like the Ergodox.
Perhaps the outcome was better for Britain in the end, but I object to glorifying Soros on the grounds that his intentions were clearly to take money out of the system, and breaking the pound with a coordinated attack just doesn’t seem very ethical.

I also think that when people characterize moves like this as ‘brilliant’ it does a disservice to the word. I think many folks, if they tuned their attention to opportunities like this, had the big name firms in their Rolodex, and had questionable ethics, could have made this move. Maybe I’m missing it, but this seems like a pretty straightforward way to take advantage of the system.

Nice work, I wanted to add how I deal with this.
first my .bashrc Is setup to append and history is set to 100,000 lines.

Most importantly I have an alias set up for the letter h , that greps, case insensitive .bash_history. ( grep -i $1 .bash_history ).

So typing in the cli:
# h awk
gives me all my awk commands.

And second , as a global history search across all my VMs/instances, (as I already make extensive use of splunk and splunks universal forwarder log forwarding app/tool) , all vms have their splunk universal forwarder service set to send any updates to .Bash_history to my central spunk server. thus I’m able to globally search the bash history from any VM globally, going back forever (I search that via the splunk web gui i mean).
All works great!
Thank you! This is really nice to hear! And good idea as well, I will look into adding an open suggestion mode.

Nitpick, partly because I suspect someone else will bring it up if I don’t, webkit didn’t start at Apple.

I do think Apple’s open source contributions are largely undersold, although they’ve probably contributed less than other technology companies their size (e.g. Google).

I use either aom for trying to make "optimized" encodes of things to get quality at the smallest file size or svt for fast encodes that aren't really any more efficient than h265, just with the better codec.

I just transcoded some movies with vmaf of 98% from 4k hdr blurays this last week. Takes about two days of mostly single core work with cpu-used=4 on a 5950x but they get average bitrates of around 4400 kbps. Which is like, really, really good for hitting that quality target.

The trick is that since its mostly single core I just do 16 movies at a time, or 24 on my server.
