The study you quote is for southern california so that probably is on the high end of an estimate. Probably a different budget for West Virginia.
I am also having a similarly hard time reading these.
Rational only stored the diffs between two decorated abstract syntax trees. So you got as-you-like it pretty printing, no conflicts on formatting, just everything you ever dreamed of. In 1987.
Yeah. (long pause) Right. (long pause)

Less ruthless and less sociopathic, my ass. If that were true, Justine Sacco would not have lost her job for making a dumb joke on Twitter.

All this touchy feely bullshit matters right up until the point where the company is even in the slightest way negatively effective monetarily, then all your happy happy joy joy horseshit goes right out the window.

If anyone wants me to believe we live in a society that actually holds the values you claim are on display, then the next time someone makes a faux pas on Twitter or Facebook or in the office, the company stands strong against public sentiment and says, "So-and-So is one of our own, and we're not going to throw them to the wolves to appease a mob. Period." And then actually back it up.

Then I'll agree that things have actually changed. And if that ever does happen, then things will actually have changed.
Nothing. People just expect things to be magically cheap, fast and high quality or it's somehow unviable, unless Apple (or other massive brand) do it.

I think the same people maybe don't even understand why someone might want a high quality product, and be willing to pay for it.
You're right, the connection was rock solid in a way that bluetooth basically never is. And I don't know how that didn't wreck its battery life. Even my Airpods give me grief every now and then, and those are often held up as the exception to the rule that is bluetooth being crap. I think that was why I liked it so much, it was a tool I could trust to just work consistently. Tech doesn't have enough of those outside of Unix CLI tools.

I just looked them up on eBay, looks like you can get another for <$50.

I wonder if there's going to be a Pebble maintenance scene in 20 years, I wouldn't be too surprised if there was.
Meanwhile in France…
I don't know but I always expect -V for verbose, and -v for version. However, I do acknowledge its not consistent :(
There's a difference between accelerating compared to a coordinate system, and accelerating compared to an inertial rest frame. If you set a fixed coordinate system relative to the ground, then yes, the cat is accelerating towards the ground.

Consider this: if you hold an accelerometer while stationary on the ground, it will read 1g (accelerating). If you read an accelerometer while in free-fall, it will read 0g (ignoring wind resistance). In the first scenario, you are accelerating compared to your rest frame, even if you are standing still.

This is not an arbitrary distinction either. The 1g of acceleration while stationary on the ground produces measurable relativistic effects.
I always liked the Panasonic Solar Ark. They built it with solar panels recalled for being shitty (which you could argue is cost saving) but then described it as:

> We have done this to show our sincere regret that this problem has occurred and to express our willingness and determination to both remember what happened and how important it is to maintain quality

Imposing building. I thought it looked cool and found it fascinating that this flagship is a monument to an error.

It matters in the present context because we are talking about how employers would respond if employees didn’t expect health insurance as part of their job. If employers stopped paying health insurance, then it is extremely likely that they would not pass the savings on to employees, but to use it to maintain the business.
I think it could, create an Association of X with some sort of DAO/governed organization that only allows you to mint NFTs if you are part of the Association. They do the vetting.

As for it "hurts the environment", that depends on your blockchain. PoS, nope. PoW/PoST, maybe but it depends.

Edit: Also for non-mom/pop shops NFTs are probably huge. Getting a provable NFT w/ your shoes for example will raise the level of difficulty for mass-producing knock offs substantially.
Also, the cheap options are using off-the-shelf upscaler chips that will choke on anything other than NTSC or PAL video baseband - the kind of chips that go into TVs that have retro inputs. As far as I'm aware there is no chip on the market that you can buy that will handle arbitrary analog video modes to the fidelity that we want them, and pretty much everyone is using some amount of FPGAs to handle some part of the conversion[0]. That's like half the BOM cost on these things alone.

[0] Don't ask me how much. I imagine you probably couldn't directly sample analog video on an FPGA.
Though a sadly non-zero proportion of Russian IT workers (who live in my country, Australia) do not. Which made working with one of them, when my partner is Ukrainian and whose family is currently in mortal danger in Rubizhne, really awkward.

Thankfully that contract ended not long ago, and I turned down the renewal.
If you have a cat in a cylinder of air in space, and push it toward one end of the cylinder, I think it would get those signals since the cat is being pushed through the air.
Are you working on them, too? I had some trouble finding good work on clocks in the past kinda sour me on the idea.
Isn't that the "interface" which djb's daemontools, runit, and later s6 also promotes?

Anyway, that question was mostly rhetorical. You don't want to get into the midst of "yet another systemd flamewar" thread (and I don't blame you, neither do I).

Just pointing out that non-systemd alternatives provided the abovementioned interface, long before systemd existed.
That one, thanks!

From 1991, not much advance since then. Anyways it could be used to present a shallow projection of a graph, even in text mode (consoles) count/depth could be represented with brightness.
What a waste of time to talk like this
3 years isn't all that long. There's still Fortran and Cobol in the wild from 40 years ago. Most people in silicon valley will have worked on a 20 or even 30 year old codebase at some point. And why do I need to upgrade Django? Did the fundamental principle of MVC change? No, the developers of Django just didn't like some Python 3.8 syntax and decided to rip it out and replace it with some shiny new thing in 3.9. They stopped backporting security fixes to the old Django version, the one with the totally-gross Python 3.8 syntax. So now, to use the latest Django version, you need to upgrade Python minor version also. Easily avoided if you rolled your own framework. (Of course, sometimes you don't have a choice, because maybe Python deprecated some perfectly-good syntax between 3.8 and 3.9 because the devs didn't like it anymore). Another thing is, that's every 3 years for Django. If you start stacking other 3rd party dependencies on top of Django (even something as simple as a MongoDB ORM), you'll have a separate, secondary upgrade schedule for that library.
I wrote this terribly, let me try again.

I believe children are better off being raised by two parents than by one.

I might also bristle in a discussion about crime and poverty if someone parachuted in and said that the real problem was single-parent families. I'd perceive it as an instance of the just-world fallacy. Things are much more complicated than that.

If I tried to express that by arguing that two parents were not in fact valuable for children, I'd be overplaying my hand. I'd be wrong. But I'd be wrong in the service of pushing back against the just-world fallacy, not in valorizing single parenthood.

I think you'd have a hard time finding a lot of liberals who, outside of charged discussions about crime and poverty, would argue that children don't benefit from having two parents in their lives.

For posterity, the previous iteration:

It's not hard to find situations where people will push back on two-parent households, because many of these discussions boil down (or are perceived to boiling down) to a just-world argument in which the fact that, holding income equal, a randomly selected Black family will live in a neighborhood with people making many tens of thousands of dollars left than a white family at the same income level. They're not right when they make those arguments; they're overstating their claim, fathers are important, two parents are beneficial, &c. But that's not really what they're arguing.

And then there are people who believe, I don't know, fathers are somehow malign? A single parent is better than two? But that's a fringe belief.
I'll concur on how amazing Hammerspoon is - one Lua file that lets you write hotkey binds to literally anything you could possibly do on the system.

I use mine for resizing/throwing windows all around the system, for custom global hotkeys for controlling music playback, etc.

(also MacPorts > Homebrew, but that's a different discussion)
To be fair, my first time returning to a Linux desktop after 10+ years of MacOS was marked by feelings of contempt and disgust.

Not to say MacOS is objectively better or that it gets everything right. But any time you’re thrust into an unfamiliar workflow, it’s frustrating. You want things to work the way you’re used to. Eventually you learn to appreciate what works, and work around what doesn’t.

You generalized to "western countries." I don't think Canada is the only "western country." That is the main issue.

It could be this was a first for Canada (not Canadian so I am not aware of a lot of it's history), but definitely not for western countries in general.
It's all legally obtained data. I'm sure the HBO legal team thoroughly vets these stunts.
So the first study is a population that is mostly using the Chinese vaccine that is not very good and the second study just validates that getting vaccinated before getting infected is very good (and the reinfection population was only 210 subjects!). The unvaccinated participants data is pre-delta infections:

"A total of 6169 participants in the previously infected cohort were followed in the unvaccinated follow-up period and up to 1 year after a primary infection. These participants were predominantly infected in the spring of 2020 and were followed in the period before emergence of the delta (B.1.617.2) variant."

C'mon buddy, do better!
But it's not from Greek mythology is it? It's always Christian mythology that is used in these sort of openers. It's almost always the default goto here. What lessons can we draw from the good book today?
This is basic concept of the free market. it is valid to reject this concept. The free market is basically a religion in the US.

However if you reject this ideal which is the western worlds baseline, then you really have to provide some info on what framework you are arguing from…
I loved my Pebble Time too. I was going to give it to my dad but when I went to fetch it, the battery had bubbled. Anyone know of a place that sells reputable battery replacement?
The currents average something like 70 mph so it adds that to the speed.

A zeppelin properly built could be jet powered and travel quite fast, but a sailing zeppelin could do 60-70 “for free” probably. If it could get high enough.

And the air has to get back somehow or the Gulf Stream would fill Europe with air and North America would run out.
I implemented and deployed a state synchronization protocol based on CRDTs at my last job. It replaced a protocol that needed a fully connected mesh to function properly, and the entire cluster would suffer a grey failure if a connection was broken or slow. The new protocol was much more resilient, and was able to take advantage of the transitive property of state-based CRDT operations.

My solution for garbage collection was pretty boring. Occasionally, a JSON file was rsynced to each service node with the 'true' state of the system at some time in the past, and the CRDT maintained the new state on top of that JSON file, until the next file got rsynced.
Not the way I lay out my windows. Most of the time every window is partially visible, and so I switch by clicking on the one of interest. Or I overlay them and scroll the partially obscured one without focusing on it. The only time I actually switch with mission control is when I'm searching for a particular desktop and window, or am reorganizing windows. In those cases mission control is far superior.
And if you have so many windows open that it becomes difficult to manage, usually you can sort them into virtual desktops
Lol I literally just did it. I have friends from around the world that talk shit about Americans constantly. They love Canadians.

America and loud obnoxiousness are synonyms in lots of the world. People laugh at loud people and say oh they're probably american.

When I was in Holland this is exactly what my dutch friends said everytime they saw loud people. In Mexico there are lots of resorts where people literally try to get away from Americans. There are places where Canadians are welcome and everyone there tries to shield out Americans from buying property.

It's 100% true. I totally understand why us Americans would have our blinders on about this however.
Also I totally agree on fitness being slightly overly emphasized on the Apple Watch. It’s cool, but also not the only reason to have a watch.
I really like ClickUp. Never had an issue.
The utter frustration is real.

One reason that Target Display Mode has faded away could be a real, tech hardware issue: retimers required to drive the High-DPI displays on recent Macs.

It's not a satisfying thread of speculation. And it's not even wrong: all 2020+ Macs support Thunderbolt, the whole point of which is to drive DisplayPort and PCIe over the wire...

How hard could it be, to get a Mac to just run as a ThunderBolt screen?

So the next thing I considered was Thunderbolt, DMA, PCIe, and security.

The new Mac hardware has tried very hard to protect the machine from data exfiltration. You can fall through the rabbit hole at the great Eclectic Light blog, but anyhow it can seem needlessly complex, and yet full hardware encryption while supporting system updates out in the world is challenging. I've been unable to brick my MacBook, so far, so that's an improvement.

I am dropping off my 27-inch iMac for recycling next week. It's not a retina model, and I did use it as a target display, but mounting hardware age (I replaced the motherboard etc myself) have rendered it to be too much work to deal with. It's 12 years old, that's almost good enough for me.
Also I think these three companies founders are not typical SV founders but have like strong executive background from Amazon, Nokia and Barnes & Nobles.

It's also tackling a lot of the right adjacent problems, both in terms of electromechanical constraints (miniaturization, heat, battery life), and also the usability piece, which is earning your place as their 24/7 device by being overwhelmingly useful rather than an annoyance, distraction, or addiction.

When you see how Pebble fans talk about their devices, it's not hard to imagine that enthusiasm translating into a willingness to try a BCI. Certainly there was far more trust built up there than companies like Google or Apple have ever been able to earn.

Hello! Thank you so much for your
encouraging response and for sharing Leo Gura's work! I've only watched a bit of the videos and I'm already in love! I learned about Spiral Dynamics previously as well as a bunch of other developmental and personality models. I would be nothing like the person I am today without them! This looks awesome! Thank you!

I'm glad you're open to my ideas! And I definitely agree that most people won't get it, even if they did somehow read it. But I'm hoping I'll succeed in making it digestible and gentle enough that these ideas can at least stay in the back of people's minds, until they are ready later in life.

So glad I shared this. I'm surprised I'm still getting trailing upvotes here and there.

If you're interested and open to it, feel free to leave me a way to contact you (twitter, email, blog) so I can send you some drafts or whatnot. Or we can share some deep psychology stuff. :)
Yeah I think people who use Linux are the opposite of tastemakers, whatever that is. (Taste-undertakers?)
> everything is unified around that in MacOS by making the apps images and then leaving non-window apps to either daemons or console scripts

I have been using Macs since the late '80s and have no idea what you mean by "making the apps images".

Also, to me, "non-window app" sounds like "menu bar app".

> huge growing divisions within the united States well before Putin

Of course I'm not saying Russia created our national schizophrenia, which stems literally from the birth of the nation, but they sure as hell helped exacerbate the condition. Russia deliberately amplified and inflamed the culture wars so that they could corrupt and weaken the US from within without being noticed. From fake online accounts, to financing fringe candidates and media personalities to hacking and interfering with the 2016 election.

And it worked.

I respect your cynicism and opinion but maybe part of your feelings are a cause of Russia disinformation as well. Are our institutions really that awful? Or do you think so little of them because of relentless negative propaganda?
First of all, I’ve unknowingly seen this “grooming” toward a few others growing up in scouting. But seeing these young scouts later as adult (and scout leaders) they were not “groomed” or worse. As disturbing as it was, we were amongst the lucky ones.

This has change greatly for Boy Scout, now called Scouting (because of inclusion of all genders).

The biggest stop to this problematic issue of grooming by such a trusted position of authority (scout leaders) is the two-leader deep. All participating adults must undergo numerous trainings before even engaging with a scout and only with at least one Scouting-trained adult nearby.

As an assistant scoutmaster of 24 years, it is not only embedded deeply in all adults having received training from Scouting but also tested and reinforced yearly that no one adult may be alone with any number of scouts, Scouting-trained or not.

Scouting Youth Protection Training program includes being proactive in ensuring two-deep leaders by writing up (citing) against any (non-guardian) adult being caught just standing alone near a scout or even a group of scouts. Reporting is deep and far and onerous. Chastising is never an option. And we are trained to view reporting as a matter of fact and not even problematic. No hesitation, just do it. The Council legal staff takes all report seriously and take in all inputs into consideration and decision is final.

Our troops do a self-imposed three—adult rules because our deep-expertise troop sponsors insist on upon this. It is irksome at first to tolerate this 3-adult-deep but after awhile, we quickly learn rotational duty for 3-deep coverage.

And amongst the 5 troops, have not seen a report more than once in 24 years (for questionable hand on shoulder) of which the parent-leader was then excluded from further outings by the Scouting Council.

I truly hope we got this licked but this OP report is refreshing in terms of exposing methodology so that we know what to look for and proactively prevent them.

Scouting is fun, for the youth. Adults must be Scouting-trained yearly and just do have to do a team-up, not only for the protection of all youths but for their own protection against reporting (and any legal repercussion that may accompanied such report). Leaders do do take breaks from leaderships during outings and have learned to have fun but must be with another one adult, so off to fishing we go.

Be prepared.

And population. In 1900 California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah had like 2.5 mil people combined. 20 years earlier it was half that.
> Social media allows us to highlight and amplify the information about our disagreements.

In theory.

In practice most people are too busy living their lifes and going through their struggles to voice anything. Leaving these platforms to be flooded by a vocal minority or worse, actors with an agenda.

This in turn provides a warped vision of reality to the 99% of non contributing 'listeners'.
I'm new to the scene (got a FitBit Luxe for Christmas) and it's been pretty positive for me, but I really hate how closed off the ecosystem is. Not having more access to the data, much less the live data, is such a bummer.
My experience has been it's not a maze, though, they just build some commerce at ground level and a lot more on upper levels. The experience of getting to your train isn't very compromised.
If there are no alternatives that exist, it seems very reasonable. You'll spend much more time/$ on hacking it together yourself with an FPGA.
Rail can be used to make routes densify though. Air travel can never do this. The cost of rail has to be thought of in the context of an investment in a city or country (this doesn't mean 'go crazy building HSR' like some countries but then again many countries have no problems with approving road megaprojects that are terrible ideas so why not rail?). This is actually true of road infrastructure too, but there are a lot of negative externalities to roads that don't apply to rail.
Wow! I didn’t realize the scope and duration of this outage. This must be doing some serious damage to some of their clients (catastrophic if this does impact JIRA, Confluence, and OpsGenie broadly on a company level). Is there any report of approximately how many (or specific) companies have been affected as a result of this?
I’m not really sure what that proves though. Each employee almost certainly saw the amount the employer was contributing when they selected their insurance plan. If they forgot that amount and later guessed a much lower amount, what does that demonstrate?
Do you understand the difference between already built-out storage, and preparing to build out storage? If you want to compare like against like, the number of ThorCon reactors deployed is exactly zero (0).

Storage is not already built out because it is still obviously better to spend the money building out generating capacity, and will be until its share is much larger. In particular, before storage can be useful, you need enough spare generating capacity to top up your storage while also driving customer load.
