Do it. CaptureOne is the only thing I've found after Aperture that I like. Still miss Aperture, but CaptureOne is great, and they improve it frequently.
>They don't like being challenged by anything.

"Challenging" is such a bullshit term. It implies there's something meaty for your brain to chew on, but 9/10 times it's a pretentious way to write off people who don't like hamfisted righteousness that fits squarely into run-of-the-mill positions and ideas that are Hollywood-safe.

Those movies are pablum just as much as marvel franchises or 90 minutes of fart and dick jokes.
What my friends say is their favorite restaurant is usually something like a local hole in the wall taco place that makes amazing carne asada. That's not bad, and it's great for that one person or that one dish/experience. But generally a pick from the Michelin guidebook is going to be a completely different experience start to finish, down to the smallest details. It's objectively better.

Continuing this thought... There's also nothing inherently wrong or bad about the local diner (or the generic recipe blockbuster movie). They fill a niche. People like easy comfort food and they like relatively mindless entertainment. But, they also enjoy a fancy meal that is also an experience and movies that challenge their notions about the world and make them think.

I enjoy a Michelin meal. I wouldn't want one every day - I'd be both bankrupt and become jaded to the experience. Same with movies. Most of the time, I'm ok with another MCU/Avengers spin-off, but sometimes I want Memento or Hunger.
You seem to be conflating "overloaded enough to require overtime and additional temporary space to compensate" with "overloaded so that even with overtime and every other tool in our belt we are unable to compensate and have to ration critical life saving care, directly resulting in unnecessary deaths."

Those two aren't really comparable, though the former really should have clued us in to how big a risk the latter was.
> A definition doesn't change

but they do, the definition of many words changed over time some to even start to mean the opposite of what they initially did.
I think it has always been this way. I worked in a video rental store in the 90's, and every movie was either a military story (Vietnam: bad, Russians: bad, current US military: good), courtroom drama, divorce drama, or high school / college comedy. A few decent psychological thrillers and campy horror flicks too. Basically a never-ending stream of the same movie with different actors. Hollywood has never been accused of being creative or daring.

At least in the 90's, most movies were around 90 minutes. Nowadays, if it's less than 2.5 hours, it's a minor miracle.

All that said, I'm still a sucker for mindless entertainment. Even if movie night has become a bladder endurance contest.

You could literally pick any of them to get your daily allowance of fear. They all lead and follow with some form of bloody hook to get the echo chamber reverberating.
It would be a miserable existence but I can't see any other direction for our current unchecked capitalism to move towards. The capital class also write the laws in this country so this sort of company is inevitable whether or not it ends up being Amazon.
Yes, printing a whole lot of new money tends to do that. As it happens, though, wage workers are not the first one who get a hold of that new paper. It does, in a way, trickle down to them. It’s only after the prices go up, and competitors start offering higher wages, they get any leverage to get a raise in their current job. This means that and wages will, on the whole, lag after inflation.
Because you want a reproducible environment/runtime for that static server. Nix/NixOS takes it a step further, in that it provides not only a reproducible runtime environment, but a reproducible dev and build environment as well.
Pretty much this. It has nullable types now, but it's still a meh java clone.

On the plus side, I wouldn't say it really needs to be learned if you know Java (and maybe Kotlin or Swift, so that you are used to the ? operator). I wrote a couple of apps in Flutter, having never read even a single line about Dart. I picked it up by looking at the Flutter examples.

One particularly annoying thing is that a whole lot of stuff is achieved through code generation (serialization, equality operators, ORM mapping, localization among others), and there are so many different way that code generation can be done - some automatic during the build, some that must be manually invoked. The build system seems really lacking.
> When did this start

Somewhere around 2008.

Sometime after we stop bailing out the economy. When money is easy, people take the easy route. When money is hard, people have to be inventive.

If you're old enough you'll remember that is hardly the first time tech has stopped being cool. It always stops being cool when there is little incentive to build anything cool.

Wow.
He was running one of the most 'successful' illegal forums for what 7 years? When you get away with something for so long, especially in an 'industry' where you know every law enforcement in the world is after you, I can see why you would easily think you're invincible and never getting caught.

He was incredibly convinced of his own ability to hide his tracks because technically up to that point, his ability to hide his tracks was good. A self fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
The TL;DR is that more people these days are watching and rating low-budget artsy movies that critics generally love but they don't, hence the rising discrepancy.
I'm not a big Fed scaremonger, I actually think early in the pandemic they executed quite well.

But you are wrong on a number of fronts.

> Asset prices didn't cause shipping prices across the pacific to explode almost 10X [2].

Monetary policy has a massive influence on aggregate demand by consumers.

> Check out the graph on page 7 (11th page in the PDF) [1] It shows you just how little global central bank balance sheets are in terms of the market

You're focusing on the wrong thing. What matters is money/assets changing hands and bidding up the price of things. Fed policy absolutely has a massive impact on this, nobody denies this empirically.
Unless I'm mistaken that's just a security audit of their client applications, which would not in any way prove that they aren't logging.
>CPI calculates rent by asking people how much they are currently paying for rent or how much do they think it would cost to rent their place.

That's OER, which is computed separately from rent.
I am sure that is also true, but on the other extreme I use IMDB ratings to suggest new movies to myself as within the genres I can watch (i.e. anything where the character doesn't wear a cape and doesn't lecture me about social justice), I find a high correlation between my taste and imdb ratings (and low correlation with most film critics).

A few examples of recent movies that I would have never thought watching but came my way thanks to imbd ratings:

Donny's Bar Mitzvah (too vulgar for its own sake, but very funny)

Last Night in Soho (nice british movie about London of the 60s)

Never look away (biopic of some german painter I never heard of)

> Am I trying to convince you and others that labeling "bad faith" will likely be more harmful and less effective in resolving conflict?

Possibly, but trying to convince other people by making reasoned arguments is good faith communication, not bad faith communication.

> If so, am I engaging in "bad faith" communication because I'm trying to convince you of my perspective and not fully understand your perspective?

Good faith communication doesn't require you to "fully understand" the other person's perspective. Nor does it preclude trying to convince the other person of your perspective. See above.
The recruiters still won't be getting those conversions so yeah they can get more desperate but in reality its an extension of the company getting more desperate. Thats why I think they will exhaust every possible lead and only then raise wages to attract people who will tolerate their conditions.
I regularly underline in the books I read, with ruler and pencil. When it comes to instructions and rules, I underline and highlight.

Sorry for this question. Is it possible to highlight a part of a text somewhere in a web page, copy it, paste it somewhere else in a word processor as a quote/hyperlink and when you click on it you end up exactly where the quote is on the web page ?
Oh! I stand corrected. Very interesting, I'll be reading up on this.
Yeah, like I said, I'm not defending this image in particular--most static sites aren't going to be very sensitive to autoscaling concerns. I was responding generally to your reasoning of "the host will just cache the image" which is often used to justify big images which in turn creates a lot of other (often pernicious) problems. To wit, with FaaS, autoscaling is highly optimized and tens of MBs can make a significant difference in latency.

Yes, the idea is to guess where you are. It keeps track how many you get right.
If you never engage with anything that’s bizarre, intellectual, or can be more polarizing to the audience then you’re never really stressed out by the tension of learning or confronting new ideas.
It has always been the case that humans select for comfort, and that when something is commonly adopted they’ll make it simpler, more streamlined and less exciting.

Movies, the internet, television, video games, and then whatever technological terror we can conceive of next will also subsume to the same fate.

Personally I believe it’s because that Intelligence at extremes leads to a fixed or absolute worldview, where ideas are somewhat crystallized and remain fixed, changed only by the most drastic personal occurrences. Intelligence in the middle of the bell curve is more related to shared experience rather than personal experience, and as such, having a collective experience of the unknown actually does and can change both the personality and mind state of the persons consuming the media. (They’ll watch James Bond and feel like a secret agent) because merely having the sensory experience is intellectually the same as being the other person. I suppose it’s an inability to filter or perceive which experiences come from the self vs. the world, which either one would need to be stupid and not care about the world (left side of the bell curve) or considers the world from a perspective of being in relationship to the self.
> NRA accomplished some wicked and absurd goals

Perhaps by the standards of those outside the gun community. For our agenda they've been a failure. The modest policy successes, by our measure, have been obtained in-spite of them.

I don't expect you to agree with our agenda, but don't forget that we define our agenda. All the NRA did was water it down.
This is a very astute point. But I would also add that, IMO, you only ever even perceived reality as a compressed summary.

I don't know. I just don't see it.

The subject is given two tasks requiring working memory. The researchers observe activity in the parietal and visual cortices via fMRI, and find the neural activity between the two tasks is indistinguishable. And conclude

> ... distinct visual stimuli (oriented gratings and moving dots) are flexibly recoded into the same WM format in visual and parietal cortices when that representation is useful for memory-guided behavior.

Seems a pretty big leap to me.

I'm not a neuroscientist, and fMRI is amazing. But I think there's more handwaving about how 'thoughts' and 'memories' are 'encoded' as if the brain were a piece of electronics we fully understood.

There's no magic -- everything we think has to happen at some physical level, but I think there is a generation of neuroscientists who are fooling themselves by projecting a reductionist mental(?!) model of how the brain works that is as yet unjustified, and interpreting all of their results in the light of that model.
Sometimes, I'd prefer some sort of limited series more than a movie. 'Maniac' was enjoyable for me because it had time to let things go slowly, despite taking course over what was probably 1 week in-universe.

I may also be different from the usual audience, in that I try to avoid binging anything. Hour-long episodes are great for my WFH lunch break, and to pad some time in the evenings if I so desire, but I prefer to commit to watching a movie if I know I have the time.

Molly's Game was a nice and long movie, but at over 2 hours long, I feel like it could have had potential at being a miniseries. But also, maybe not? Who knows how much meaningful material was left on the chopping block.
Just as a tangent: let's start with the AI/ML produced movies already. I honestly think they would be hilarious

This does feed in my odd weak union position. I feel that it is too close to folks not wanting to support local government. That is, I'd rather just have higher taxes and better social nets than some trades locking in dues to a national org.

I don't know how to get that. So, I'm more likely to support unions. But I fear it moves further from the better answer.
Depending on the scenario, potentially nothing.
There are certainly times and topics where people can break from the collective, with no hard feelings or repercussions on either side.

In rural areas, this is typically how it works. Laws are more of suggestions, and unless you are causing a big problem for someone you are likely to be left alone.
I think what people want in this case, is quick access to a different exit IP to appear on the internet with.
> The error is explicitly in the function prototype. Every code path that returns must ensure the result is an `Ok(T)` or an `Err(E)`. You just can't accidentally overlook this. Even if you do gloss over it when skimming, the error is handled and dealt with.

Some of us are mere mortals. We tire and make mistakes. Perhaps even unworthy of the mantle of "Rust programmer".

> I'm just tired of hearing that Golang's error syntax is explicit but Rust's is somehow implicit because it's fewer characters, even if they desugar to virtually exactly the same thing. Both are explicit. Golang's is verbose and (ironically) error-prone.

I already admitted sympathy to the viewpoint that Rust's error handling is technically explicit, and that Go's error handling would be improved by static verification that errors are handled. What more do you want from me?
I ran into someone who had interviewed at my company, we were bot on an inter-airport shuttle in I think Berlin. He was based in CA, I was in MA, and we weren't really in the same industry (his knowledge base was tangent to what we did, thus the interview), and not traveling for the same event.

Have had a handful of similar scenarios, seeing someone I know when we are in a far-away random place. I think it had to do a lot with I was traveling frequently at the time (200K miles/year), to all kinds of random places.
Maybe not Electron, then. Perhaps I'm confusing it with ExpressVPN's first-party app, which definitely was Electron when I tried them a few years back.
Any source for this? Interested to read more. I feel the whole AOL saga would make a great Netflix documentary series. Lots of interesting wrinkles, like the acquisition of Winamp.
nowadays, it is expected that open source is also a synonym for “community-driven”, which is a very bold assumption.

I don’t know how we got to this point but it’s interesting to notice that the terminology drifted.
One might call those summaries, stories.

Unless you buy in a real bookstore by cash.
Newegg used to be straightforward. Have you used it recently? They are pulling all sorts of tricks now.

I understand stock can't be 100% accurate due to shrink and inventory not yet sold but the reality is that currently there is almost no basis in reality for their numbers it seems. All they need to do is track what items are delivered to the store and connect their POS systems to their inventory counters and then expose this to the site. They MUST be tracking it correctly internally or else they would have a lot bigger problem.

>General inventory is reliable for all the stores.

Unless the item is in demand like antibacterial wipes or a game console. Then they start to play all sorts of games and there is little hope of getting the item online or offline. You just have to be there at the right time.

You realize that the original pipeline is still there? KXL was a shortcut that would save some money.

Also, the fuel processed from the pipeline is chiefly an export, so it wouldn't have affected prices in the USA.

Lastly, the XL pipeline was a huge risk to the American agriculture industry. There was opposition to it it on the right, particularly from ranchers in the region. Do you really think it's wise to put the beef and wheat industries in the north at risk just so refineries can sell oil overseas at a slightly lower cost?

> If you need sufficiently advanced linters to catch every case, your error handling is not explicit.

You're conflating "explicit" and "statically verified".

Agreed that static verification by default is ideal. Rust wins here.
I think one main factor is privacy first thinking. Obviously security is important, and we should make software secure, but todays coders would rather just not have certain things at all(Like smart devices) than try to secure them.

The other thing is smartphones. They are better than any old gadget. But they don't have the cool factor exactly.

SaaS is the other thing. SaaS might be practical but it is never "cool". It goes away when the internet does, and can be cancelled at any time.

The other thing is set and setting, and tolerance. I know basically nothing about drugs, but any material thing that gives you a dopamine hit is often thought of like a drug.

We don't remember the amazing quality of video games, even though that was better too. We remember split screen multiplayer, staying out to get stuff on launch day, lan parties and the people we went there with, and all kinds of other stuff.

If I was into HAM, I think I'd be in it for field day, conversations with the elmers, learning about history, maybe vague ideas of preparedness, etc.

The current philosophy of products in general is minimalism. We have elegant restaurant focused entirely on the food, not rainforest cafes.

We focus on things by themselves, as isolated standalone things, trying to build the platonic ideal of a chat app or a text editor.

But... tech and food and money and drugs and clothes and everything else like that is just kind of OK. Context is everything as far as emotional impact, and it has a role in practicality too, the most useful software is often not a pure ideal of some function, it's designed around a common real world issue.

Tech is now advanced enough to do things entirely virtually. The setting is gone. You don't haul a box to a lan party.

Also, saturation and competition.

Tech used to seem like something where buying some gadget made you able to do things nobody else could. If you got a camera, you were a photographer, because they were expensive and hard to use and there was no Instagram.

The high barrier to entry made fame and success seem like it was a matter of dedication that you could achieve by saving up and studying some books, rather than random chance, being good looking, or being born with world-class talent.

You could still do something new and interesting without spending ten years and 100k on it. 99% of the startups these days seem to be an existing thing, but worse, with NFTs.

There was also almost no true clickbait. Much more of the internet content was made by users.

I believe the "Golden age" was probably from about '83(Just a guess, I wasn't here yet), to about 2006, with the transition completed by 2010.

Once endless scrolling and phones all day took over... Where's the market for any other tech? Only a few specific things are still relevant in a world where life is mostly on a screen, with just ten minute long interludes in physical space.
That sounds wonderful, I'm sure in such an open and honest dialogue, a candidate would also be more comfortable to admit a weakness.

Other than anxiously hiding weaknesses, the other bizarre thing in business is the idea that any and all weaknesses must be addressed.

To use the sports analogy: one can conclude that the star attack player is terrible at defense, but it really makes zero sense to invest a lot in defensive skills.
Sounds like the complaint boils down to ”people on the playlists are not celebrities”.

Which I see as a positive thing.
