that definitely has to be managed well. I wfh in a room where i also do my hobbies and stuff (like a tiny workshop more or less). What i do is when i'm done with work i put my company issued laptop in a dedicated drawer and close it. When the drawer closes my mind flips to "i'm at home" mode. The next morning, when i open teh drawer, my mind flips to "i'm at work" mode. It works for me but may not work for everyone.
I agree that this is needed, and there have been various attempts to implement this sort of thing (including from Berners-Lee himself). But that's not the problem this project is trying to solve.

Ignoring for a moment the rest of it: What was the end state supposed to be? Like, pretend the rewrite went perfectly - now what? You still have nobody in-house that knows the language, let alone being familiar with the codebase!
Another xoogler here. iPhones are quite popular among Googlers, but probably not out of proportion to their demographic. Personally I stopped using almost every Google product after I got to see what android collects. I won a Google home max in an internal contest and immediately gave it away. I have an Alexa. It's true that Google product decisions often have a vocal opposition inside the company, but product managers are adept at ignoring criticism.

Yet somehow grocery store workers managed to work in their "office" and survive the last two years. Why do all these software developer people think they are so special?

It bothers me how many people use COVID as a means to push their personal agendas.
That's a pretty good apology.

It is very clear and specific about its mistakes, though they're only willing to go up to the 1960s. I'd bet that it didn't end there.

They seem to be taking specific, concrete action going forward. Training existing staff isn't worth much, but making sure that future hires cover blind spots is.

I do find it puzzling that the "Science News Reckoning Team" is entirely female. It does sound a bit like the common practice of dumping emotional labor on women. Were they at least paid for their time in coming up with this, or did they look for volunteers to do the work for free?

Hard part will be to secure that first job with almost no prior experience in programming and no recent formal education.

One option could be vocational education (depending on what the education system is in your country), they tend to be more practical rather than theoretical and can offer an internship at a company. An internship can be a good way to get that first job.
The button to decline doesn't add an entity. There are already two options to consider whether to accept or decline. Making the external state and internal state match avoids confusion.
This can't be right. You couldn't drop the course. Two years of physics in the freshman and sophomore years, taught from the Feynman Lectures, was a requirement for all Caltech undergrads, including those in humanities majors like economics, history and even English -- there were a few.

The whole two year physics sequence - the lectures where your entire class attended together, always in the same room, three times a week for two years, the homework sets, the sections, the weekly take-home quizzes - were a shared rite of passage, a central part of the Caltech experience for every student. It was difficult for some of us, but we had to persevere - it wasn't optional. A classmate called it 'intellectual boot camp'.
I imagine in this context conservative refers to members of the conservative political class and not conservative-voting citizens, who are mostly irrelevant to the goals of the conservative political class.

I find that giant office printers have given me a lot fewer headaches than "consumer" printers. I have a fifteen year old HP that I bought used on Craigslist for like $100, and it just magically worked upon plugging it into my router. I just use the generic Postscript driver on Macos.

I don't think that driver is open source, but I suspect that you could fairly easily get a generic Postscript printer working with CUPS.

Man, I recall in good old 2008, arriving into Chandigarh after almost month of backpacking in rest of India. What a shock it was! Straight roads in mesh, traffic lights everywhere. It looked and felt so surreal, detached from rest of Indian subcontinent which felt to me to be in some very distant parallel universe.
I could never come to terms with the tattered and worn user interface experience for an application that is so prominent on the desktop. Perhaps the widget system is glamorous underneath, but to accomplish its job of getting out of the way of functionality... I can feel the RSI acting up from the time when Pidgin was my only option.

This author is certainly known in the rationalist-ish ("less wrong", Scott Alexander etc.) community; whether or not they'd consider themselves a member I don't know. Not all rationalist posts are that well written, but there are certainly more I've enjoyed like that.

I think the author might have heard of Seeing Like a State and the idea of legibility through the book review on slatestarcodex, for example.

EDIT: from their about page, "Before this, I was a software engineer first at a few FAANG companies and later at start ups." I guess that counts as another community of sorts?
Damn I used to use pidgin like 15 years ago, can't believe they're still around!
There is a very very very big difference between low quality and straight up malware, though.

I would never get angry because of a package which doesn't work properly. I didn't pay for it and I treat it as essentially a social media post. It should be assumed broken until proven functional.

But there is no "right cause" for spreading actual malware.
I have a speaker that does airplay/ google cast and Bluetooth. Bluetooth works by far the best (once you pair). Though to be fair I havent tried google chrome cast more than once.

I’ve noticed that it seems harder to not use airplay on the device with an iPhone. It involves a trip to the settings menu. It didn’t used too. I might have something not set right but it seems weird to me. It’s the same with my “just bluetoooth speaker as well…)

I appreciate airplay for video though.
There’s also PPA6 for PeriPage thermal printers, a Python library using reverse engineering of the Bluetooth messages intercepted to the device: https://github.com/eliasweingaertner/peripage-A6-bluetooth
You should get a camera and write an OCR scanner that automatically scans the receipts as they are printed, then pushes it into a DB so you can view all your issues via a simple web application, replete with tracking, reminders, and then an e-mail integration that e-mails the opener of the issue when you put a comment on the receipt that's printed and rescanned.

Depends on the type of game I suppose, not all are high-speed button pressing fests. If you are terrible at high-APM games like Starcraft then it might be more due to hand-eye coordination skill than due to strategy skill, if you are also terrible at online chess then it might be due to strategy. Both hand-eye coordination and strategic thinking can be improved through practice though.
I can add a bit of clarity to that. When you book connecting flights direct with an airline, or with that airline's codeshare partner, or with an authorised reseller, you've got one ticket all the way through which the airline is obliged to fulfil by getting you to your end destination or pay expensive compensation. If they cancel part of the flight, they might have to get you to your end destination on a different route, possibly with a last minute ticket on a different airline (which is very expensive... for them)

When you book with Bravofly and equivalent, they book separate tickets for each leg with no promise of connection. That's how they get the cheapest possible fares. In the event of a cancellation of one of the flights the airline is obliged to offer you a rescheduled ticket between two destinations, but has no obligation to ensure the passenger gets from the start point to the end point of the original itinerary. So none of the alternative tickets SIA was obliged to offer Bravofly were any use to you. Bravofly don't have any obligation to reroute you either and even if they cared about goodwill I doubt their margins are big enough for them to volunteer alternative flights at their own expense.

Or put another way, I booked a cheap flight back to London via Zurich on their airBerlin's website. Couple in front of me booked the same route via Bravofly (as two separate tickets) for about £5 less. When airBerlin decided to cancel the flight to Zurich without telling some of their passengers until they arrived at the airport I got back to London around when I'd originally expected at airBerlin's expense on a better airline on a different route. The other couple got told they could have a flight to Zurich later that day if they still wanted it, but they'd miss the other flight back to London without compensation regardless. Or they could ring Bravofly and see if they'd help...
Maybe expand beyond Hattiesburg, MS. Local factors might explain it.

Absolutely. I search for flight legs on ITA Matrix and then book the specific itinerary by calling in with the flight code. Generally get the exact flights, schedule, class, seats etc. ExpertFlyer is worth it's weight in gold.

Morton was wrong.

It's great that you found some super specific thing where his wrong answer isn't provably the result of fudging of numbers, but he's still wrong for various reasons. And someone else measured other skulls at roughly same time and came to the correct conclusion that you couldn't really make any such claim based on the data they had.
Aw thanks! We believe in building products that will last and be scalable so we wanted to do as much as we can to keep things sustainable. That's why we sought out founders with dedicated Android and iOS experience.
I think the implication of the sum of the things listed is that an old backup system overwrote/mangled newer backups because nobody turned it off and the two systems were targeting the same storage.
Yes, hard to believe but that was seven years ago. In the old days it would have been like comparing a 286 to a 486. Intel has certainly plateaud since then but Apple's ARM kept some of that momentum.
Thanks. I didn’t realize you could scroll them from left to right on the website.
Everything you say is true - and doesn't conflict with what I had said.

Look at the second link I had posted originally. It has a nice photo of that first digital camera. I was built by a 24 year old new hire:

"Soon after arriving at Kodak, Mr. Sasson was given a seemingly unimportant task — to see whether there was any practical use for a charged coupled device (C.C.D.), which had been invented a few years earlier."
>I doesn't help you much if you are the fastest widget maker if every widget you produce is defective because you didn't take the time to do it right

You're conflating effectiveness at "making good policy" with effectivness in "delivering policy". I never said they were most effective at "making good policy" but in "carrying out policy" (meaning time to deliver policy).

>So no, there is no law of nature decreeing dictatorships are more efficient or effective than other forms of government

And again, I never made that claim (if you mean efficient/effective at making good policy). I said they were when it came to delivering policy (whether that's good or bad policy) and it depends on their competence. IF their leaders are competent (in making good policy and decisions), they naturally are more efficient and effective governments. This holds true, because, of the words 'if' and 'competent' and the reasons I explained prior.

As far as waiting for input vs skipping input goes, it's a double edged sword not a one way street. Extra time spent in gathering input means slower to act. Slower to act means missed action/opportunities, which is a terrible aspect to have in an immediate crisis. This is exactly the reason why the executive branch of the US functions more similarly to a dictatorship than a democracy - it's so that it can respond faster in times of crisis. It's because dictatorships are actually better in this aspect, when compared to other forms of government.
A ghost cube would be nice too.
KEH used to be a lot better before they got acquired. Their ratings have taken a tumble over the last decade.

I don't have a better answer though - I still buy from them from time to time. eBay is the big alternative if you're looking for something specific. Note that Japanese sellers list a lot of stuff on ebay but they tend to do it at fairly high BIN prices that don't necessarily move instantly - so don't look at those prices and think that's normal, they're just waiting for someone with a nice thick wallet to get impatient. The prices stuff actually sells at will be much lower.

Pentax MX is a good camera though, very similar to the FM2 (although lacking the 1/2000th shutter of the FM2n). Maybe you're thinking of the Pentax ME, which (like the Nikon FE/FG) are another early-electronics camera and suffered very high failure rates over the years (with depleted spare parts reserves at this point). Nothing wrong with the MX though - it's a mechanical workhorse, small, reliable, bright viewfinder. I'd actually categorize it as an underappreciated gem, even though it's fairly well-appreciated in the Pentax community.
Ah, refutable.
I am thinking that this is kind of the wrong way of doing such things like this (although HTTP as a protocol is OK for this kind of things; there are things that HTTP is bad for, but this isn't one of them).

Accept-Length and Title seem like they can be reasonable (and can be potentially used for any file, even implementations that do not otherwise support KyuWeb might or might not still implement them).

I think it should be better for Markdown responses to specify the variant of Markdown being used if available, as a MIME type parameter; e.g. CommonMark uses "text/markdown;variant=CommonMark". (This would potentially improve compatibility among non-KyuWeb clients, I guess.) (Although, I think there are many problems with Markdown, and that is also true of HTML.)

I think that the way of finding wrapped Markdown files using HTML comments isn't very good. My proposed ways are:

* Using <link rel="alternate">, which is standard and is compatible with common web browsers.

* My proposal of new HTML attributes "application", "feature", and "wraptype", which is not standard but it is compatible with common web browsers. (I do have some files using some of these features, though.)

* My proposal of a new HTTP response header "Interpreter", which is not standard and is not compatible with existing web browsers. I would want to make known my ideas and propose that hopefully can be standardized and implemented, since it would be much cleaner than the existing mess. (Although if you are worry about older browsers, then there is consideration such as needing to add something such as a "Accept-Headers" request header, which the server is allowed to ignore if it always gives "Interpreter" responses anyways or if it does not have any.)
Quoting a 2017 book about how thinly traded bitcoin is? I appreciate the concept but it doesn't always feel like it rounds out the takes. (FTR, I appreciate it's thin enough to make market cap misleading, but up-to-date liquidity figures would be helpful if we're trying to criticize market cap)
When I was DMing a D&D campaign I had an idea for using a receipt printer to print a "token" that would represent items that the players acquired and they could keep it or pass it around or turn it back in after it was used or destroyed.

“Here in America…”

Parts of the world that require bribes have nothing close to the governmental system of regulations and permitting that America does. It’s not that it’s cheaper, it’s that the system is so mismanaged and corrupt in its entirety, that the only way to achieve a goal without delays, cost overruns, sabotage, and violence, is to just pay the bribe..or else.
Changing time backward and forward by and hour is simultaneously jarring for everybody, so it provides some statistical means of estimating how changing sleep habits affects people.

No, "that's gibberish" means "I can't tell whether it goes against factual truths, because I can't tell what it's actually claiming."

[Edit: And one of the marks of at least some kinds of BS is that it tries to obscure what is actually being claimed, so that you can't disprove it.]

Less accounting to be done when someone's commute changes based on inclement weather, no needing to punch time clock when you leave and get home (or record milage on your vehicle), no difficulty with alternate commute choices (if I bike to work and it takes 1h rather than 30 min driving)...

What benefit to the employer is there to pay someone more if they live further away? What problem would there be if every employee was given the same pay increase regardless of where they lived?

It means that payroll has a lot less work to do too (rather than trying to keep track of everyone's commute).

If Meta HQ did this, would they be giving less to someone who lives in East Palo Alto rather than Gilroy (because of the "difference in commute")?
