It is there but I wish there was a more comprehensive network of high speed rail in Europe.

Going from Amsterdam to Spain the plane seems to win on price and travel time.

One thing that isn’t infrastructure but could easily be improved is buying international train tickets. So often I see that one needs to call or you can only book one month ahead.

Surely we could have solved that by now..

This is why the whole history of, say, Europe involves almost no wars between neighbors with large amounts of trade just before the war, right?

I have. According to [1], "1 in 4 cancer research papers contains faked data". As the article argues, the standards are perhaps unreasonably strict, but even by more favorable criteria, 1/8 of the papers contained faked data. Interestingly, [2] using the same approach, found fraud in 12.4% of papers in the International Journal of Oncology. More broadly, [2] found fraud in about 4% of the papers studied (782 of 20,621). I'd say that's pretty widespread, but you further have to consider that these papers focused narrowly on a very specific type of fraud that is easy to detect (image duplication), so we would expect the true number of fraudulent papers to be much higher.

Use wildcard reject SPF for nameserver entries, for example:

example.net TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.yourmailprovider.example -all"
*.example.net TXT "v=spf1 -all"

and use strict DMARC policies. Unfortunately due to how DNS was defined, wildcard entries are not used whenever a subdomain is defined - even if its an A entry, so if you use an active subdomain (www is used most of the time) you unfortunately need to add them manually*. Also depending on your specific provider you may not be able to add them (unfortunately that's on them).

* Except on, rather surprisingly, Microsoft's DNS servers (you can tick a box to force an wildcard entry to show up even if there are records already defined).
Embedded security research. Assembly language development.
I disagree.

Unless Ebay has overhauled their reputation system recently, you will buy counterfeit/mislabeled goods from a merchant, and then either receive a bribe (as a partial return) to keep a five star rating or you have to open an incident to get a full refund, in which you can't leave a rating and tell other people to beware.

This allows terrible merchants from all parts of the world to push crap on unsuspecting customers.

It's "go to definition", I think CTRL-mouseclick is a common setting in most modern IDEs. In Eclipse it's F3 if I remember.

VS Code was the only editor or IDE I found for Linux that can be used to browse like that without much configuration. CodeLite worked sometimes but not reliably.

I can just type "code ." in my src folder and can start browsing it. Most IDEs need to setup some kind of indexing. VS Code worked out of the box.

Or at least made optional.

Do you want our health insurance plan, or an extra $1500/month to find your own on the open market would be an interesting way of looking at it.

But either way, both your employer and your cost for health insurance should show up on everyone's pay statements. Most have no idea what their employer pays for insurance.
Honestly, for something with a disclaimer about it being a rant, this read pretty positive to me. Pretty sure this guy will be in love with Apple by the end of the year and will start weeing the shortcomings in windows/linux. (at least that was my journey anyways)

For the cmd+tab thing I think it's a matter of taste and/or something that the author will get used to. I think I found it odd at first too, but now I get mad at Windows for not doing it that way. I love being able to switch between windows of the same program only.
What I don't get is why can't someone, say, one of us, pool together our own insurance that exists outside the employer?
Additionality means that it wouldn't have happened without the offset. It's nice that we should or need to do X, but if X isn't going to happen, then any action that causes X to happen is a positive change. If it's a "valid" offset, then we already know X wasn't going to happen without it, regardless of whether it should or must happen.

Double counting is a serious problem here, of course, and the article is right that removal based offsets alone cannot get us to net zero. What genuine offsets (i.e. those that actually meet the 4 required criteria) can do is that (finite) resources get invested where they're more effective, letting us achieve specific intermediate goals earlier than without them.

That's actual kilograms of CO2 that aren't in the atmosphere by a certain date.

"If Everyone Did It, Would It Still Work?" - until we actually get to net zero, yes, actually. As the cheap and easy opportunities go away, genuine offsets become much more expensive, to the point where avoiding the emissions will often be cheaper than offsetting them. Likewise, as regulation tightens towards net zero, the opportunities for offsets that meet the "additionality" requirement go toward zero too.

There are many serious issues with offsets (like the lack of additionality, double counting, non-permanence, and leakage, as mentioned in the article), but the article makes it sound like they can't work even theoretically.

"“Preserving an acre of rainforest” fails the test. Suppose all of the world’s cement plant operators agreed to offset their emissions this way. Suppose that this succeeds so well that 100% of the world’s remaining rainforests are protected forever." - then the offsetting potential of rainforest protection is exhausted, and other ways to get to net zero will need to be found. Also, the "additionality" criterion should, if applied correctly, already limit the amount of offsets you can get out of protecting the rainforest.
> if companies did not offer health care as a perk, they would be able to offer higher salaries instead.

Prices, including labor prices, are not determined by costs. There is no indication at all that companies would compensate employees more if they didn't have to pay for their health insurance. What is most likely to happen is that companies will pocket the difference, in the same way they've been pocketing the difference from increased productivity while letting wages become stagnant.
> not sure if this is correct English but you’ll get the meaning even if it’s not

Not an idiom I'm familiar with, but it's grammatically correct and clear so I'd count it as proper.

"Bite the bullet" is commonly used.
Semi-related, I hate the term "late-stage capitalism". It was invented by a Nazi over 120 years ago and in the meantime has constantly been applied to whatever the new thing is. And the implication is awful - "things suck and it's not my responsibility to make things better besides waiting for the revolution".

Please stop using this phrase unless you want to further alienate me from the position you are trying to make.
We'll see. Some things are easier to say than they are to do.

It is hard to understand this, but it appears well-attested by individuals who had no other way to learn what they demonstrate knowing. As described, the individual plant is not the friend, but rather the spirit of its species.

The exit interview advice is not anything new, I heard it from 10 other people before Jacob wrote this post.

The general salary advice is also not new at all. The specifics of which tools to use is pretty helpful.
Etsy seems generally to have some tech issues.

I bought a couple of things on their site a while ago, but have never been a seller.

Somehow I keep getting emails intended for sellers in France and other places, trying to coordinate shipments or orders, or complaining about issues with orders. This has been going on for at least 4 years and I've reported it to Etsy multiple times with no follow-up at all on their side.
Not really. But vectorized shapes might definitely help rasterizing the descriptions.
The paper estimates objects of these size should hit Earth at least once per decade. The database goes back to 1988 so there might even be one or two others in there waiting to be detected.
I've used Spectacle with the defaults, for years. It's not actively developed but still works. There are actively-maintained alternatives, but since it has zero times done anything weird or glitchy for me, even with multiple monitors, I've not switched yet.

"brew install spectacle", start it, give it accessibility permissions it needs in the Settings panel, set to start at login (check a checkbox in Spectacle's settings panel). Forget about it until you set up a new Mac.

cmd+option+up/down/left/right for half-screen tile. Cmd+option+F for the equivalent of maximizing a window in Windows (not Mac-style fullscreen). Cmd+ctrl+left/right for upper-left and upper-right quarter tiles. Add shift to make it lower-quarter on that side. That's it. Was all available to me instantly via muscle memory inside a month, don't even think about it now. It's how I do nearly all my window placement/resizing.
...And can you easily change Windows or Linux to behave like macOS, in these fundamental ways?
> public transportation

A great idea that I am in support of, but it's not a "realistic alternative", public transportation is politically fraught, expensive, and slow to build in the U.S. I'm not saying we shouldn't continue to strive towards it, but it's not happening any time soon in the U.S.

> ride sharing

This is the status quo.

> making streets more pedestrian friendly

Same issue as public transportation - slow, expensive, politically fraught, but also of dubious ROI in terms of preventing DUIs; nobody is going to walk 5 miles home from the bar because of streets that are friendlier to pedestrians. Of course, there are other worthy reasons to create pedestrian friendly streets, but they don't really represent a realistic alternative to someone prone to intoxicated driving.

> denser zoning

Again, not really a realistic alternative, zoning issues are politically and economically contentious at a level that transcends concerns about drunk driving and yet the needle on that issue barley moves due to NIMBYism and entrenched special interests.
Can you really call it 'insurance' when it's a pre-existing condition? I realize we can call insurance whatever we want, but when I think of insurance I think of it a way to pool for mitigating risk of the unknown.

No one would sell insurance that would fix your already destroyed roof.
This reminded me of a post on Macintosh Folklore[0] about the early development of application switching on Mac OS. It certainly gave me some insight into why things work the way they do in the Mac world.

> make a cool printed design on a game boy shell? quickly stolen, mass produced on aliexpress

I work in this space and can provide a little correction/illumination:

The folks selling printed phone cases, gameboy cases, etc are generally not shipping these over from aliexpress. They are almost all printed on demand from printers local to the country of the buyer (there's a half dozen big phone case printers just in the US). Nothing is mass produced except the blanks.

The sellers come up with the artwork and titles/tags/descriptions/etc. Software like mine creates the Etsy listings and processes orders, routing to appropriate printers which ship directly to the customer. Etsy provides an API for this.

Print-on-demand sellers are selling pure intellectual property. They jealously guard their high-resolution images, but that doesn't stop the industry from having a big ripoff problem. Low-effort ripoffs copy a public low-res image, which makes a terrible print but potential customers/victims might not be able to tell from an online mockup image. High-effort ripoffs involve hiring an artist to make a new work substantially (or identically) similar to something else. Both cheat the intellectual property of the original artist, but they're using the same print companies.

Whether this stuff is "handcrafted" is somewhat ambiguous - is a book handcrafted? Is a set of patterns for a dress or a piece of furniture handcrafted? Something 3d printed? Certainly someone came up with the artwork "by hand", but printing it on a tshirt or phone case is pretty mechanical.
Do you have that folder set to sort by something useful like “date added”? Then it should work. If you have it set to not sorted then maybe the file is lower on the list and off screen.

~\Downloads is always the first tab in Finder for me and I almost always keep it to show the most recently added files at the top.
Nope. But vector graphics can be of great utility when rasterizing the description into a bitmap.
Replacing excel is like replacing paper. People always talk about formulas, but most spreadsheets don’t have any. They’re todo lists, or more commonly, static database exports.

Or they have formulas, but the author calculates a few numbers and throws it away. In this case they’re like a scratch pad, or a calculator with a visible memory.

I think it’s certainly possible to make better business modeling tools, and have played with some designs in that space. But they’ll never be Excel. And that’s ok

Is health insurance not provided by the state in France? I thought employer-provided health insurance was just was an odd Americanism.

It happened specifically to 1 type of laptop and we only had about 30 of them. So we pulled all of them out of roulation. Then covid struck, so I reformatted most of them with Debian and we gave them away for home schooling. I wonder if I managed to linuxify some kid in the process.
I wish this was true. European leaders have been speaking a great deal about how much they are going to invest into trains and how they are the future of green transport, but then in reality they are unwilling to do the things that are needed to improve trains or even actively sabotage them. (see e.g. https://www.investigate-europe.eu/en/2021/derailed-europe-ra...)

Austria is pretty much the only country in the EU that is actually making genuine strides in this area.
What I find annoying is the people whose cars DO have headlights that are automatically "on", yet all the OTHER lighst on the car are off.

It's common to come across one of these cars at night from behind - no visible tail lights, but when you pull up next to them, their headlights are on, yet dim (daytime running lights?).
This happens all the time when people switch insurance or go onto COBRA. You get retroactively covered for some period after your new plan becomes active.

It doesn't end up with people paying tens of thousands out of pocket, people just don't pay the bills that come in during that period, and kick them to insurance later. It sucks but is not really uncommon or possibly even something Intuit has a ton of control over.
The first thing to change would be this attitude. Don't treat it as a fight, and don't think of people being "against you" but merely "insensitive to the matter".

Just talk with them, see how much common ground you can find. In my conversations with other parents, I found that some were interested in changing away from whatsapp, but didn't know what would be the "best" alternative. In the end they opted for Signal, still not ideal but at least it was a step in the right direction.
Even then, it is typically not a symbolic calculator so if your answer is a closed form function of variables, you're SOL with a TI-84.
Slightly off topic: I frequently hear it mentioned in threads like this that Chinese companies are able to compete with native sellers even while shipping individual pieces to customers? How does it even work? international shipping is not cheap, especially when you're not shipping in volume. Is the shipping cost included in the product? If anyone can direct me to info on how this trade works I would be thankful.
No, it was actually designed to never have any window in fullscreen. That behavior is a relatively recent addition to the macOS windowing model.
I want one of these. Right now, I do this conversion a lot more than usual. Over time, I have mapped many of my familiar Imperial unit touchstone type references onto Standard International units, so I am largely good to go, but this would have been very useful during the process.

And what I mean here is just ones sense of scale and ability to mentally estimate and work with familiar ratios to arrive at solid first order approximations. These are important, in that one can set expectations about the answer quickly and accurately. Doing that is a great check on the problem overall and or makes mental analysis quick and robust.

It is all the little things, like a sheet of paper being 0.004" or 0.1mm. Looking at something, say to understand whether it can be manufactured, or maybe features are too small or large and fall outside process limits.

Or, given a force, something happening, or one suspects may have happened, working backward to arrive at root cause of failure, having that kind of info "in head", useable directly in that internal way, knowing how it might appear, feel, be seen, sound like, is high value.

Tools like this really help with all that. Combining the data with motions, the slide, how far, etc all build robust mental connections. It just starts happening. For me at least, I just begin to "know" whether it make sense, will fit, break, etc...
I guess I feel like there are pretty much no circumstances in which I would need to break down a door. Whereas police officers are likely to find themselves in circumstances where breaking down a door is legitimately the right thing to do quite a bit more often. So perhaps some allowance for that is merited.

I'd like to live in a world where lawsuits aren't necessary to achieve justice, except in extreme cases.
That’s awesome! Where can we subscribe for any announcement? ;)

To me, a critical one is easy plots. Checking how an arbitrary column changes as a function of an arbitrary other column by adding a scatter plot in less than 5 seconds is fantastic.

Formulae are also very useful. Adding numerical derivatives or integrals by just putting a formula in a new column is very useful as well. The point is not to have publication-quality, highly accurate numbers, but just quick and dirty operations to see if it warrants further investigation.

I am happy to discuss my use cases if you are interested (it might be going a bit out of topic for this thread).
I think it's an issue with discovery. Organic discovery on the internet does not exist -- you do not pass by a cool internet store on your way to whatever else you were doing, the only way for you to know it exists is for it to be advertised to you.
The US also can't completely prevent people from creating counterfeit cash, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar. The transparency of bitcoin is a win here, as everyone can verify that this kind of fraud is not occurring at the base layer.
How about Faust? I haven't studied it in detail but apparently they are very active porting it to different platforms including wasm
the shell examples are not working for me. `zsh: command not found: elementary`
after following install instructions.
You can make plugins in Faust, but it's not a super smooth process. iPlug is the nicest option.

I agree about the js though. Even if it's a reinvention of web audio with a C++ backend, js and DSP just don't feel like a good fit.

And I would be surprised if the UI side wasn't limited in the way that full native isn't.
Do they run on renewables?
Every improvement you are asking for (except for lower prices) is going to cost more money.
The federal health insurance mandated in the US was repealed as of 2019. You may still be subject to a state mandate though.
If you are not regularly testing restores then you don't have backups.
Time is money, so I don't think trains can ever compete with flying for long-distance travel (>1000miles).

They could do like the USA does and make flying such a time-consuming pain in the ass that it's rarely worth it for trips under 5 hours.
> Don't know what you'd do for the litter box though.

dear god... the image of a regular litter box in zero G made me wince. I had a cat years ago who was an excavator and make a big mess whenever she went on archeological digs.

Another thought, cats typically bolt from the litter box after pooping (one guy I have does an amazing 90 degree wall kick-walk ninja move to run downstairs.) Not happening in 0G :-)

Not strong enough, they don't put their moneyed folks and multinational CEOs as the stakeholder in the state. I'm sure they will be more level headed than some jaded Junkers.
Pretty sure they would understand that it's a waste of wealth and time to cater some commotion in the Balkan.
Yeah, it's not really a good piece of advice. If anyone actually reads that bit of information, they'll just shrug and toss the resume in the bin and move to one of the other hundreds of applicants.

> How would they do that when what they're saying is clearly false?

All it takes is to trigger a feeling of doubt in the listener to "destabilize their perception reality"

> How? I don't see how this would solve anything in this situation. It's not a fight over resources...

It removes the source of the doubt/discomfort, doesn't it? It's easier to ignore your doubts if you don't have a reminder walking around and talking to you about it.
Flying from Stockholm to Copenhagen (or even Malmö or Gothenburg) is often a better alternative to trains. Thankfully there's now an express train to Gothenburg, but that's about it.
Yes, that's partly the point. Maybe we shouldn't have so much cheap stuff. Maybe we should reuse and repair the stuff we have.
