Yep. The author, as a peddler of recommendations solutions, has an incentive to convince people that this problem is very complicated, and they should hire a consultant.

In practice, good old Matrix Factorization works really well. Can you beat it with a huge team and tons of GPU hours to train fancy neural nets? Probably. Can you set up a nightly MF job on a single big machine and serve results quickly? Sure can.
I couldn't imagine navigating macOS without gestures. Great on touchpad, non-existent on any comfortable third-party mouse (the magic mouse is made for toddlers apparently.. I don't even have particularly large hands).

Thankfully someone made an LUA script for the Logitech G app to use one of the random buttons on my gaming mouse to imitate three-finger swipes, which feels great: https://github.com/mark-vandenberg/g-hub-mouse-gestures/blob...

I also am not a huge fan of Finder. Might be able to tweak so that the list view is default but crazy to me that you'd have folders and files just floating around in space.

All that being said I went from lifelong Windows user to being fully onboard with Mac once I started developing professionally. PC gaming is the only reason I have a Windows machine at all. Windows is just gnarly, from the kernel to the UI.
You sound so angry here. What are your thoughts on Ray Dalio, polarization?

My thought is that this is a force of nature the USA is up against.

Even in nature before humans, things polarize. There is a balance between the strong and the weak force. Between cooperation and competition. It's when these balances get thrown off we move towards another.
This is a major problem that put my wife and a couple of her friends out of business. Another major problem right now is that small blogs/instagram accounts/etc are nearly impossible to establish because the "influencers" (the big blogs now) will rip off ideas and shameless repost them within hours! Not only does this mean all google traffic takes people to the "influencers" page instead of the young blog that created it, but it makes the young blog look they are ripping off a big blog. It's quite despicable. My wife has shut down because she got tired of inventing great recipes that are damn hard to come up with (ever tried to make Keto desserts, or vegan scrambled eggs?) that get stolen right away.

I've been trying to think of a way to use blockchain to prove "who posted it first" but it's got a major network problem (nobody uses it because nobody will use it because nobody uses it).
From the subheadline:

> more than 97% of its staff received at least one shot after the deadline this week.

If pilots and copilots are massively, massively over-represented in the remaining 3%, you might have a point, but that is a huge and unsupported assumption.
The problem with the Laffer curve (well, the relevant problem to this discussion anyways) is that it assumes the primary goal of taxation is to maximize government revenue while minimizing payable taxes on an individual level. Higher marginal rates are predicated on creating effects that may involve potentially reducing government revenue as a second order effect, in service of a first order effect like "decreasing inequality" in the "make more middle class" sense.

(the other problems all have to do with things like it being impossible to tell where revenues are on the laffer curve without actually changing rates, and the fact that conservatives largely assume the laffer curve is a parabolic one where somehow a zero tax rate is infinite revenue. Those things make it an essentially impossible-to-use policy tool in practice)
I appreciate the nuance-- I completely agree that there are tradeoffs and that no money technology is perfect in all regards. I don't think it is fair to call complete resistance against counterfeiting a small win though, it eliminates an entire category of crime. You can't only consider the total size of the problem counterfeiting currently causes (which is small), but also the expenditure and surveillance that is needed to achieve that outcome.

That’s generally how a race to the bottom happens. Short term narrow minded outlooks that barely consider how one action effects another. It’s terrible long run for buyers, employees, and the planet.

Indeed. This was the case for my project at work.

With that being said, one can always hand-roll recursion with iteration by pushing the state onto their own local stack. I have done this several times on a 6502.
The best response I have seen to this thus far is Florida teachers who plan to stop referring to anyone by gender in the classroom.
Yes, I was thinking specifically about this. I was working for the Estonian gov a while back and thought it would be great for this to be pushed forward; unfortunately the mistiming probably would have killed that new mall that was built around one of the stations if covid didn't. But maybe they'll get that and the tunnel to Helsinki done at the same time :)
That's one of those times when looking around at what exists and not only old papers might help. Been doing soft and hard real-time on baremetal (no OS) with Ada tech for a long time. There's a whole of language constructions to help reducing the language set for hard embedded stuff (no dynamic allocation, no specific constructs, no secondary stack,...) and there are the Ravenscar and Jorvik profiles.

Very strange to hear/read about non implementability of hard real-time with Ada when one the guy I hired years ago was one of the OS-for-aircraft-embedded-computer, doing that since the 90s...
Was that the IBM 2260 display station? It used sonic delay lines, a 50-foot coil of nickel wire. Torsional pulses were sent into the wire, and it could hold 11,008 bits.

English would be a lot more compact if we removed all the nonsensical and previously-nonsensical words.

Start with the auto-antonyms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-antonym

* Cleave can mean "to cling" or "to split apart".

* Clip can mean "attach" or "cut off".

* Dust can mean "to remove dust” (cleaning a house) or "to add dust" (e.g. to dust a cake with powdered sugar).

* Fast can mean "without moving; fixed in place", (holding fast, also as in "steadfast"), or "moving quickly".

* Ravel can mean "to separate" (e.g. threads in cloth) or "entangle".[11]
Sanction can mean "approve" or "penalize".

* Table can mean "to discuss a topic at a meeting" (British English) or "to postpone discussion of a topic" (American English).
This ignores the elephant in the room that in the 90s insurance companies just wouldn't pay, claim pre-existing condition, and bankrupt the patient.
The idea is to avoid a big chunk of e-waste from disposing of a perfectly good monitor. Of course the converter introduces electronics of its own, but it's a much smaller thing than a new Dell Ultrasharp, and hopefully much less expensive as well.

lvds to displayport converter is interesting and I should look into it. Thanks for mentioning.
Well, recursive configuration is a misfeature of git. No sane program should work that way. But regardless, if git scans every sub directory then the kernel should have already cached all "positive" dentries obviating the need for any negative ones. And that cache must be an order of magnitude larger than any negative cache.
You can also tab to the application, hit the up arrow and use the arrow keys to select the minimized window then hit enter.

I seem to recall dumping Planner to JSON easily enough. I don't know if you can easily restore directly from its JSON, but the JSON was nice enough to work on for what little I needed to do with it.

My current employer shut off Trello and forced us over to Jira and is threatening to disable Planner, so I'm "not allowed" to rely on Planner enough day-to-day so it's possible it is either better or worse than I remember it being in that department. But this Jira outage has me reevaluating, and they haven't turned off Planner yet.
It is also technically the correct response. The best kind of correct.
Interesting. That's not going to be an easy fix. By the way, that SpaceX turbo pump shaft is a real work of art.

Surely some sex/gender education is required and appropriate for this age group. Things like consent/personal space etc are useful and important for kids of any age. Would be much more logical to have some kind of standard education program for the topic.

I read what wasn't paywalled. It didn't really do anything to make me think the title was deceptive in some way, nor does it really matter. If people want to offer up an article for discussion it's up them to make sure people can read the whole thing imo. Otherwise we'll discuss what we get.
> There are libertarians (even then popular ones like Milton Friedman), that have explicitly argued for open borders and free trade on the basis of the welfare of non citizens.

And there are liberal policy makers that look to increase protections for US citizens because they believe in negotiating from a position of moral authority, because without being able to practice what you preach you're easy to point out as hypocritical and ignore, or at a minimum it's easy to convince others to discount your position.

The important thing is that neither side, as a whole, is choosing a position with the intention of hurting local or remote peoples, and to various degrees both succeed and fail on various metrics. Neither side is inconsistent or hypocritical, they're entirely consistent within their own ideology for the most part, it's just that when not within that ideology, it's easy to point at specifics and explain them in terms of someone else's ideology in a way that makes them seem inconsistent.

The first thing I do when I see something lambasting a groups actions as hypocritical or stupid is to try to look into that group's own messaging on what they're doing and why. Sometimes I think their reasoning is flawed, but far more often than not there's a core of truth and consistency and truth to what they're attempting, even in those cases where I think they're working on flawed information.

Before I was willing to call a large group of people hypocritical or inconsistent, I would try very hard to understand their reasoning and how that action it is being presented/sold within that group. The risk of my own biases affecting my judgement is far too high otherwise.
You might find it reasonable, but it’s not meritocratic at all to will it away to someone else. You also are effecting society in a negative fashion after you are dead and gone and no longer have to deal with the consequences. Setting up a trust where the money removed before you’re at end of life seems far more acceptable because you are willingly giving up the power associated with the money, but deciding to maintain sole control over that power until you’re done with it and then passing it on to your chosen winner afterwards is antithetical to capitalism working correctly.

You are obviously and logically correct. The obviousness is exactly the point of the law because it creates vagueness. It’s just another right wing attack on public schools.
Yes, because they really really want their preconceptions to be validated, and when they are incapable of accepting that there is no evidence for their argument, they choose to take unrelated stories and repackage them as an argument for their side despite a complete lack of support for the position in the source material.

Just like you are doing here.
Oh my... In truth you can very easily do that just look how the taxation graph in OP's link compares to the gov spending over that period. The only anomaly seem to be the late WWII years.

https://taxfoundation.org/short-history-government-taxing-an...

Laws and mass compliance are really two different things. An example would be when new EU countries introduced those UUID's to each receipt while "lowering" taxes, resulting gov spending to gdp going actually up significantly.
The global stock market is currently at 18 P/E, which means barring any growth, it's an investment that returns 5.5% while keeping up with inflation long term. Right now, that's an expected 14% nominal and 5.5% real return (and there will be some growth over the medium and long term).

In addition, moving up major purchases (housing, cars, appliances, long lasting commodities like toiletries) will retain value with inflation, instead of being eroded at -8% real from savings accounts.
I'd love that. I'll come back to your account in a month to see if you've posted any updates.

If you are used to using gnu user land you’ll be using a utility like brew to install the gnu components. The bsd counterparts are just off enough to find something a bit off on most of them.

I really dislike finder. I’ve not found a sane replacement.

Updates for me took 10-15 minutes. Rebooting a few times. Relegated to answering slacks on phone during that time.

Office is also awful on the Mac. I wound up using office in a windows VM because a lot of stuff was broken opening complex documents.

My newest job I asked for a windows laptop. WSL2 is ok. I just run vscode connected to wsl and do my work there and use native office. Those two apps, postman, and chromium (chrome and slack) is really my stack and it works well enough. I would rather use Linux but our IT department have a big thumbs down since they have no clue what they are doing regarding securing that.

Open the "Mission Control" settings in System Preferences to see what key sequence you have assigned to "Application Windows". While you are there you might also click "Hot Corners..." and check if "Application Windows" is assigned to a hot corner.

Invoke "Application Windows" and it will show you all the visible windows of the current application tiled so you can see them all, and it will show you all the minimized windows of the current application across the bottom of the screen. (Some applications, such as TextEdit and BBEdit also show recent documents there).

While in the "Application Windows" ctrl-tab cycles between all open apps while remaining in "Applications Windows" view.
Is there a visualization of this anywhere? Do you see this as how the money people have invested in index funds (bogleheads and whatnot) gets "harvested?"
This to me just argues for separate lines for passenger vs freight trains.

Especially if we are talking about installing high speed lines anyways, doesn't make sense to turn a freight line into a high speed line and then share it (other than the fact that you wouldn't need to eminent domain as much).
> Did Amazon fail when it opened the flood gates to the mass market? Did eBay? Did Walmart? No.

If Etsy can fit in just becoming another giant generic undifferentiated seller of things, then yeah, this all checks out.[0] But my question is how much room the market has for those kinds of businesses. If Etsy does become just another big generic seller of things, why keep using them over Amazon, eBay, or Walmart? What are they going to compete with them on?

It's true Amazon used to be more niche (books), but I think they were early enough that they didn't have to worry too much about someone crushing them.

Walmart was always a giant seller of things, just a physical one that went online, but I don't think they were ever really niche.

Did eBay have a niche? I thought they were also pretty much just selling generic stuff from the beginning.

> You are the one that is having problems accepting it, but it will not change reality.

I think you're confusing not thinking this is likely with some kind of denialism/not wanting it to be true. I don't especially care a whole lot if Etsy ends up being a giant generic seller of things, I'm just not sure that'll work. At the point where Etsy is just re-skinned Amazon, what stops Amazon from crushing them?
I don't see how workspaces makes that situation worse. Go has always had its own compiler, package layout, etc.
There's not a ton of visible competition for interlinked-style note-taking. Zettelkasten has become a kind of big tent recognizable name for vaguely-wiki-like heavily-cross-referencing journalling/note taking.
> Last year, SNCF relaunched overnight services between Paris and Nice, with tickets starting as low as 19 euros, about $21, for a midweek low-season ticket. That compares with 31 euros, not including baggage fees or the cost of airport transfers, for a short flight on EasyJet

These prices are inconceivable in the US, where competition in air travel has essentially been eliminated.

"airline industry" being the differentiator between what you listed and the original article's claim.

Also, the number you're referencing is United Airline's, so not even Alaskan.

In the same way that you don't get to be a principal engineer at Google on your first day out of college, you don't get to be a captain on your first day out of flight school.

But the pay and working conditions for new pilots is rather worse than it is for new programmers.
Take a look at the individual market and what is offered on it. If you want a comparable plan to an employer's group policy, you will be paying close to a grand a month in premiums for just yourself alone, and you will have yearly deductibles to the tune of thousands (sometimes tens of thousands for a family) dollars.

Without increases in compensation, workers will suddenly have thousands of dollars in new yearly expenses just to maintain coverage, and many will be forced to go without coverage at all.

This wouldn't be a problem, though, if employer-provided healthcare was replaced with a universal healthcare system that most first world nations have had for ages.

I think as a society if we can't discuss this in an honest manner without deceptive terminology, we're doomed to be stuck in a bad spot. Perhaps phrasing it as charity of the healthy towards the less healthy would lead towards a more productive and honest starting point. It's something many, including myself, would be much more supportive of than feeling like I'm deceived by misrepresentation of a product. I'd feel like I'm taking part of a noble charity rather than this sort of deceptive 'insurance' product.
This is a funny one. People usually give all the rage to Jira because it's so complex, and Trello because it's post-its. I feel like there's no good middle-ground, people are gonna hate one or the other
That’s probably already covered under some “national security” catch-all somewhere.
> Canada literally had to suspend the charter and due process by enacting the emergency measures act, which is unprecedented amongst western countries. Why would the government do that if no one supported them anyways?

Probably because they didn't have to deal with a large number of numpties doing that before.

> Your insurrection did not kill 5 people by the way.

There were five deaths. One was from gunshot and the others were from other reasons. The fact that the deaths occurred among the insurrectionists doesn't change the fact that people actually died as a result of what happened, which from what I can tell is more than can be said about the numbskull protests in Ottawa.

> Ironically, from a neutral outsider view, what happened on the 6th of January can also be described as "a bunch of morons thinking they could get their way and being absolutely obnoxious".

Was some high-profile Tory premier instigating the protests in Ottawa with a rally there? Were his own officials involved in the planning? Was there a large number of people breaching the Canadian parliament building while it was in session? Were extreme right MP's feeding information to convoy organizers on where Trudeau was? Because while that's not what happened in Canada, it's what happened in the US a year ago.

I get what you are saying about Americans thinking anything in the US must be exceptional. I've seen that before myself, especially with certain members of my family. But there is a difference between idiot protesters occupying a capital city's downtown and having to be forced to leave and an attempted self-coup by an outgoing head of state.
