So what? It was still the better keyboard. I had it for two years. Much better than anything Dell or Lenovo or any other brand I've ever seen had.

Yeah, it had issues, but it never had the issues my Lenovo and Dell laptops had - like keys literally falling off, for example. Two keys on one of my Lenovo machines were broken from the factory. The Dell i9 machine had a key that was attached only on one side and they refused to fix it.
As far as I can tell, Google does not actually care that its platforms are used for abuse.

You can report spam from gmail accounts, but if you do you just get even more spam. Gmail appears to pass your complaint onto the spammer, who now has a verified email address to spam more. Though the spammer might have to get yet another gmail account first.
I think many people think the ads on the Superbowl are an attraction.
Why do you think it's "blindingly clear"? If you're going to use such strong language, it should be easy to present your argument in a more convincing way. Others disagree with you - I think calling them wrong without so much as a single line to suggest why is very much "being a baby". You think others should just agree with you because it's what YOU think - my five year old niece seems to think this way as well.
I recall IE (even up through "Spartan" Edge, I think) had a hard to discover/not quite as useful in practice as it was in theory support for prev/next links: if you pressed the browser's forward keyboard shortcut or gesture (but not the toolbar button since that was usually disabled) when there was no forward history it would sometimes follow next links. Even harder to pull off in practice (given how most people navigate to websites from searches and stuff) if you somehow managed to land on a page with no back history and pulled off a back keyboard shortcut or gesture it would try the page's prev link. I think that feature probably confused way more people than anyone ever came to rely on it.
hah I see we both discovered the same lists! Did you get these from traffic interception too? I didn't find any hits for these on Google but not surprised you beat me to it of course. I'm a long time fan of your apple-hacking blog posts.

For others, here's the other ones found:

I think the point is to own your preference either way. Don't lie to yourself or lie to them. This reduces cognitive dissonance and anxiety.

If you go, don't drag your feet and tell yourself it is for them.
If you cancel, don't lie and make up excuses.
Dynamic and strong typing are not opposed (dynamic and static typing are opposed, and, to the extent the distinction is valid, weak and strong typing are opposed), dynamic doesn't mean everything is physically boxed (most dynamic language implementations don't box some subset of small primitive values, usually including bools and small ints), and, in any case, flow typing is a feature of static type systems (though some of those offering it are optional static typing systems for dynamic languages.)

But you kind of get at the real answer toward the end despite talking around it most of your post: Sum types plus pattern matching solves the same set of problems union types with flow typing solves, and a bunch that the latter doesn't (like composability.)
There has been some speculation about how many of these will still work due to periodic remanufacturing requirements, that would be interesting to get some hard data on. Probably a very closely guarded state secret.
I decided to main a Ryzen desktop back in 2018 to replace my aging 2010 ThinkPad. I doubled the RAM to 32 GiB and now I have a workhorse that can chew through compiles at breakneck speed and spin up multiple VMs without taxing the host desktop. Or run a couple Electron apps :) Best part is, I can upgrade the components in the future for additional growth.

Note that by going with a desktop you do not avoid UEFI. UEFI with Secure Boot is the standard boot environment for Intel PCs, regardless of form factor. Microsoft is the only root of trust vendors will recognize; you will have to contact the vendors individually and pay out many millions of dollars each to become a root of trust for UEFI PCs.

For the time being Microsoft has deigned to require disablement of Secure Boot or installation of user certificates, but that may change. The reality is, your PC only boots Linux (or BSD, etc.) because Microsoft allows it.
I haven’t used R recently (10 years or so), but when I did, the speed with which K/kdb+ could scan through and summarize terabytes of data was orders of magnitude faster than R or any other system. Once the data was summarized into (say) a gigabyte or so, analyzing it with R or even Python was much easier thanks to the ecosystem and reasonable time (probably 10-100 times slower, but the time saved by using well tested stat code is more than worth it)
This is admittedly a pedantic nitpicky comment, but humans did build astronomy on a foundation of astrology. Much like alchemy and the legit techniques used during that phase of exploration later got subsumed into chemistry.
It's surprising it took that many cores before the limit was reached!
It's as contentious as the russian invasion of ukraine is. Meaning, not at all unless you fall for the obvious war justifying rhetoric.

I dont know why but it seems like there's been such a weird push for rehabilitating what the US and it's allies did to the middle east since the start of the russian war of aggression against ukraine.
What would Germany’s energy prices be if they’d transitioned away from cheap Russian natgas starting back in 2014? What will they be if Russia shuts down exports tomorrow?

France is in a much better position.
I think I've been conditioned to not click on videos because of ads - I'm glad I saw this comment and went back and watched it.

If someone made a simulation of this it would be pretty cool.

> Technology babies us all the time.

Technology is a symptom; not the disease. We wallow in narcissism and convenience because of the relatively enormous wealth we, and our country in general, enjoy. Being able to buy just about anything that we want (at least some version of it), and being able to insulate ourselves in a tiny bubble of like minded people and thought has infantilized us. Technology -- enabled by the wealth of the Western world -- has enabled it, but wealth is at the core. We can AFFORD to be babies. So we are. Boy, howdy! We are.
> Limit video game use to one or two hours per week

I would feel more focused and productive than usual if I spent a day on a video game. Games are usually focused time, whereas social media is a low level misery but not being able to stop, hoping between sites, looking for something entertaining but not finding it.

Deliberately act. If someone casually asks "whatcha doing?", you should never answer "nothing". Deliberately playing a game isn't doing nothing, taking a nap isn't doing nothing. Social media isn't necessarily doing nothing, but for me it usually is.

Ask yourself, did I decide to do this? What is my goal? If your goal is passing time, stop.
The difference between a real crackpot and someone trying to understand something difficult is that the former is usually genuinely mentally disturbed while the latter is still in Dunning-Kruger territory.

Usenet science boards used to have various "personalities" who were clearly ill. They would post variations on the same word salad over and over, invariably claiming that Einstein was wrong about something or other, while they were right, which made them super-geniuses.

I understand high-profile physicists particularly tend to attract these people, so dealing with them must be a challenge, and there must be a temptation to skip over anyone who looks like they fall into that group even if they're just asking questions.

There was - possibly still is - a crossover group typically made of electrical/electronic engineers who knew just enough traditional EM theory to be dangerous, but not enough to know what they didn't know about GR and QM. For some reason they were also obsessed with trying to prove that relativity was wrong - perhaps because GR is so weird it's almost offensively strange to people who want to live in an un-weird universe.

In Marine Infantry School we would have regular brawls with the future weekend warriors it was quite funny.
I find the bundling of stack + startup success to be quite a peculiar sell. I wouldn't have considered the two that strongly linked - but I may not be the wrong audience for it.
>It's very unlikely that his BAC was over the limit the day after (he was going to a job interview!)

A sibling comment[1] alleges that he drank 750ml of cognac. If that's true it's reasonable to assume he was intoxicated, even if there's no blood test

It's always funny to call it "defense" spending when so much of it goes to wars of aggression.
I view using the laptop as a laptop as a fallback.

When I'm at an office location, I'll setup my mouse and keyboard just like I had a desktop. The laptop just becomes a smaller second screen with a keyboard for some reason. I have the same interface I would if I were to use a desktop, with the added bonus that I can bring a fully functional unit with me wherever I go.

Because, unless I'm going to always be at home, or only leave when I'm on vacation: I will need a portable work station. I could duplicate a setup on a laptop and a desktop, but I much prefer being able to simply fold my work (or gaming!) computer up and take it with me.

A friend just broke his ankle and has had people coming by to hang out and help out. No problem for me - I just packed up my work and my gaming laptops and drove over. Productive during the day, hanging out after work. The next day I went back to my full office setup with no fuss.
Then don't say it period. Also, isn't the british queen still the head of state of australia? Every time I bring this up, it's always australians, canadians, british, etc making excuses.
Hi, direnv author here.

direnv is pretty old by computer standard and it's still weird for me to see it pop-up from time to time. I wrote this tool for myself and it's amazing to see it being useful to others.

Feel free to ask me anything.
These were state of the art tools when we started work on Redwood more than two years ago. We're investigating other more modern alternatives, but swapping them out is a finicky and time consuming project and we've been focused on primary features. We will keep evaluating our dependencies and you may see some changes in v2!
He did just that a week ago:

That is the end game for Russia - what level of destruction will Ukraine tolerate? Ukraine needs sea access vitally for ocean freight.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/3/why-capturing-ukrain...

What remaining access will Ukraine fight to the end for? Russia has access and can get by without it = just greedy. The UN/Turkey can close the Dardanelles to Russian ships. (already have forbidden russian warships exiting, but allow commerce) Can Turkey stand up to Russia plus the UN? Will Russia/China Veto any of this leaving Turkey alone? It has a higher GNP, but fewer people than Russia.
One hopes NATO unity plus many others will make the sanction cut deeply.
If China/India support Russia will they also be sanctioned = huge hurt for them and will that curb Russia?

The "was impaired" part seems to be in dispute:

"A judge who ruled against the city when it asked that the lawsuit be tossed wrote in her order that no forensically defensible blood alcohol test had been administered."
I agree, but I think we're talking about slightly different things. I was more referring to the judicious division and encapsulation of concepts that we already understand very well.

More science education than science the philosophical pursuit. Which was more the concern of the folks I was tutoring.
Since it isn’t explicitly mentioned here, I’d like to add that the music transitions match the photo transitions…to put it another way, the photos transition in sync with the transitions or beats in the music.

Another good thing to do with these photos is to add a nice large widget on the Home Screen to look back everyday.
> Life is filled with risk. Accept them or don't.

Life is also filled with negligence. Companies (and people) have a duty of care to minimise risk or damage to others.
> His blood showed levels of cannabis. However, if you've ever had to pee in cup you also know that cannabis shows up in blood/urine far after you've smoked or consumed.

yes, metabolites show up for a long time in urine, making it useless for this sort of thing.

they don't stick around nearly as long in blood, and it is suitable (along with expert interpretation) for getting a sense of whether or not somebody recently high.

> However, if you've ever had to pee in cup you also know that cannabis shows up in blood

peeing in a cup does not give you insight into this.
"If GME can be shorted to the extent it is despite that being illegal"

Shorting is only illegal if it's naked. When I ask people who say this what they mean, the answer is usually that the shorting must be naked because so many shares are being shorted. But that isn't how that works. If you have other evidence though, I'd certainly be interested.

I think she touches on this point a bit with this paragraph:

"Technology babies us all the time. “Never talk to a wage worker again!” the embarrassing Seamless ads promise in so many words. “Everything you could dream of without leaving your apartment! Community without communing with a single soul!” Putting aside the marginal good these apps do for people who rely on them, their ads are clearly focused on a capable, upper-middle class that’s learned to take its neuroticism a little too seriously. They exploit what probably started as compassion-driven conversation about burnout into a recursive push for comfort at all costs. When we stretch that ethic to its limits, we make simple things like taking a phone call or being honest with a friend into something much scarier than they actually are."
Thanks for the responses so far - not feeling so isolated like I'm the only one who has experienced this feeling.
Right, that would work if it's interleaving every sample, but I think as soon as you do chunks of eg 5ms or so, there should be the mentioned doubling of pitch and other glitches. So maybe since they got away with selling this buggy thing anyways it is indeed interleaving every sample as you suggested.
Flow typing is basically a kind of type inference where the derived type of a variable is allowed to be different in different places of the code, based on control flow. However, not all type inference is flow typing.

Flow typing is definitely a thing also in compiled languages, one example is Crystal, which is both compiled and has flow typing.
I still use a desktop for most things

What I have wanted for years was a small little portable desktop (sort of like those intel NUC's but larger and more powerful) that was basically using laptop like internals but designed more for speed, power, and efficient cooling. You could then pair that with a decent sized external monitor (like some kind of portable 21 or 24" 16:10 widescreen - maybe even one that folds) and a small, folding mechanical keyboard (I have preferred the 87 key layout for almost a decade now for everything). On that keyboard would be a mouse knub (like Thinkpads and many business laptops) and below the spacebar would be two mouse buttons (also like a Thinkpad) so that you can click with your thumbs.

This setup would be super efficient for real mobile workstation use. I have yet to find a system more efficient than the "eraser" mouse knub - you can type and use the mouth without ever moving your hands off the keyboard or the proper row AND you can easily click the mouse with your thumbs which makes for extremely fast transitioning between typing and mouse use. Once you get used to the knub it is actually very accurate (some laptops have much better implementations of this than others) - I would say up there with the best trackpads.

You could also take advantage of any and all screens you might come across while travelling - go to a friends house and they have a nice, larger TV? That becomes your second monitor. Etc etc. And with this keyboard setup you can also even sit on a touch and not have to deal with an awkward trackpad or mouse setup.

You could accomplish the same thing with a decent laptop but you would have a lot of extra space taken up by a keyboard you may not use often and a small screen you might use but not really want to use.

Alternatively I suppose a thicker laptop could be made with this type of keyboard integrated and it could also have some type of fancy fold out screen (similar to those new Samsung phones). I don't personally care how thick my laptop is or what the obsession is with thinness - storing and transporting a laptop (for myself at least) is always limited by the other physical dimensions. I do not also really care all that much about weight - most situations in which I would be carrying one I am not going to notice a huge difference between 5 pounds and 15. Although for backpacking of course (which is pretty niche) a light laptop would be nice.
>> It came out in quarter-driven cabinet form, sort of, a year or two later, and I recall the scene.

The quarter-driven version was from Cinematronics and was designed by Larry Rosenthal. Their vector-graphics were common in arcades in the late 70's. I've been meaning to put together a presentation on reverse engineering the hardware and writing an emulator for some time now. It's a fun exercise that many people could do given the schematics and some prom readouts. The CPU is a work of genius.
>Greeks had democracy 25000 years ago and it did not go so well,

Absolutely. Especially since they did so to finally wipe out the scourge that were the Neanderthals.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

I presume you meant 2,500 years rather than 25,000, yes?
The best chiplet interconnect may turn out to be no interconnect at all. Wafer scale integration [1] has come up periodically over the years. In short, just make a physically larger integrated circuit, potentially as large as the entire wafer -- like a foot across. As I understand it, there's no particular technical hurdle, and indeed the progress with self-healing and self-testing designs with redundancy to improve yield for small processors, also makes really large designs more feasible than in the past. The economics never worked out in the favour of this approach before, but now we're at the scaling limit maybe that will change.

At least one company is pursuing this at the very high end. The Cerebras WFE-2 [2] ("wafer scale engine") has 2.6 trillion transistors with 800,000 cores and 48 gigabytes of RAM, on a single, giant, integrated circuit (shown in the linked article). I'm just an interested follower of the field, no expert, so what do I know. But I think that we may see a shift in that direction eventually. Everything on-die with a really big die. System on a chip, but for the high end, not just tiny microcontrollers.

On the flip side, we probably don't want Bird to profit off of illegal and dangerous rides. Holding them financially liable gives them an incentive to take steps to ensure the safety of their riders. Otherwise, we're in the classic "socialize the cost, privatize the profits" trap.

I like how it appears that it had to convert from imperial to metric before it could make an inference:

300 miles per hour is about 480 km/h. This is about the speed of a commercial airplane. [...]
This guy put together a great analysis of over two dozen ivermectin studies [0] and he found that the studies done in countries where intestinal worms are common giving ivermectin showed a benefit against covid, and that in countries where intestinal worms are not common ivermectin did not help with covid.

This makes sense because it is known that intestinal worms can compromise the immune system.

That’s seems dumb to me. Now I question under this “freedom of speech” should I be allowed to make that first sentence ? For all intents and purposes I am “shaming” your view. Flagging would be arguably ostracizing.

Would the inability to do this mean my own freedom of speech to shame your views would be infringed? It seems like an unsustainable paradox to me that falls apart in various use cases that cannot function in society as we know. At least not if we seek to ban/prosecute things such as child pornography, revenge porn, libel, etc.
The city forbids riding on the sidewalk, though. Even if it's not enforced, you should not get to sue after you decided to do it anyway.
I covered those scenarios in this paragraph.

"A manager would never have need of an exit interview and when it came time to part ways they would know exactly why and they would wish the person well and hope that they can have a relationship in the future."

The exit interview is exclusively for those out if touch with their employees. They use it as a guise to cover their bad management styles.
>metacareers

It seems like all this preparation to pass an interview is the meta-career.
And then at the other end of the spectrum, these same types of people decide to go into other fields and end up doing spectacularly well:
