Streaming. The big realization for me was how they think through positions and allowing for vague ideas to dictate positional improvements / guide the process.

Previously I was just looking for tactics and calculating the best possible moves in a very linear manner. Now I look at the board and visualize ways the position would work better in my favor and kind of work my way back from there. Linear calculation is still required, but getting an idea first and then trying to find the path of least resistance to that idea is just so much more fluid for me.

Remove the tunnel vision and treat the entire board as an organic structure that you can reconfigure.

This is probably only beneficial after like 1700-1800 because it assumes you have a solid tactical / positional understanding obviously.

The only other "training" I do is solving puzzles but that's more out of entertainment than actual training.
There's no reason AFAICT that mgmt couldn't use rqlite as a backend assuming rqlite supports watching for events on certain key paths...

It's easy to find groups of people online who believe in getting rid of all the police, and even easier to find people in favor of reducing the number of police (before this issue became a political football, reducing police headcount was a bipartisan idea in local politics, as was pushing back on their unions). But where the issue has been put to the test with real voters, it has failed dramatically.

That the primary system elevates fringe candidates is, yes, a problem. But those candidates lose.

Like I said, we have an exceptionally mobilized defund movement in Oak Park, with demonstrations, proposed ordinances, and candidate slates. They got slaughtered. We're a single-party municipality; being outed as in any way sympathetic to Republicans is fatal here. It came to nothing: liberals don't want to defund the police.
History gives us a formula for dealing with man-eating predators: hire professionals, then let them hunt over bait. Works for (most) lions, tigers, & leopards, it'll probably work here. Time to get some decoys out there with some juicy bling and wait for a bite. Alternately, stake out prime targets.

Of course, after the first few surprise! "Police don't move!" gunfights that result in dead armed perpetrators there will be the inevitable outcry and the program will be shut down, just like NYPD's famed Stakeout Squad. People don't like it when the number of fatalities meets or exceeds the number of convictions, but OTOH when the festivities start with guns already out and being pointed at good guys the likely outcome is body bags for the bad guys.

Using hydrogen would make no sense whatsoever since hydrogen could be stored anyway.

"fragment state" is something that does not exists.

You got a large vessel of molten iron, you pour that into a form, take the slack off and that is it.

Maybe one could use a fall tower to make small iron pellets like the ones used for making lead shot.

That would need to be done in an oxygen free environment using some inert gas.

The whole process seems quite impractical.

And something else:
Pure Iron rusts quite easily so how do you store it? You can not store a large bucket full of iron pellets for your oven in a cellar.

So storage would need an enclosed container.

The whole idea is just weird.

There are SEC rules against insider trading, yet here appear to be instances of insider trading at Coinbase. So, either they don't apply to these transactions at Coinbase, and insofar this company is deregulated; or the company flouts the rules.
As I see it, insider trading rules are less about "information asymmetry" and more about avoiding conflicts of interest between the decision-makers in a company and the investors they are supposed to be working for. It is a given that not everyone will have exactly the same information—combining all those separate viewpoints to arrive at a single market price is why the market exists. However, the insiders have a duty to their employers—the shareholders—and insider trading puts the insiders' personal profit at odds with the decisions which will best benefit the company. They weren't given access to that information and a position where they can guide the direction of the company for the purpose of enriching themselves at their principals' expense.

The difference being: Under this interpretation insider trading is purely a dispute between the shareholders and their hired employees / agents. No one else has any standing.

"Numbing" isn't an accurate description of what psilocybin does to you. It's kind of the opposite, it puts you in closer touch with the thoughts and feeling that were already there. This can be a double edged sword, as it can also surface and magnify highly negative thought processes.
i hate deleting things. prefer flags that hide things instead (like a boolean deleted flag in an rdbms table).

prevents data integrity issues in relational databases, makes debugging easier and prevents disasters.

ideally also include a timestamp, both for bookkeeping and safe tools that only remove things that have been soft deleted for some time and are safe to delete without compromising integrity of anything that is not deleted (this is especially important in relational data models)

Oh wow, this brought back memories. I remember using LapLink to transfer files from our family desktop to a used Toshiba 286 laptop that my parents found for me over a parallel cable so I could mirror the setup.

I ended up using this tool multiple times over the years, and even well into the Win2k / Win98 days, it was still a more reliable method for transferring files between computers on WinTel systems vs other methods. Sometime in the Win2k days I transitioned to using a crossover Ethernet cable and setting up an FTP server on the origin system.

I was a C++ programmer in a past life and I sorta like it. C++ and JIRA seem to have the same philosophy with respect to choosing which features to admit: "yes". The idea is that by supporting the largest number of features possible, they'll surely build something that everyone likes because it will tick everyone's boxes. What people frequently fail to realize is that the absence of misfeatures or redundant features is an important feature in and of itself. Moreover, the more features you support, the harder it is to control for quality.

I'm not going to give you specific advice, as that would be controlling (tongue in cheek / bad joke, sorry), and you also haven't specifically requested any. However I do feel compelled to share some of my own experience.

In my last LT relationship, I was accused being controlling and the relationship was totally, impossibly screwed. This is a very serious accusation, and they were interpreting attempts to be genuinely nice as "controlling". I am actually pretty flexible and easy going, but no matter what I did or changed, there was always some other new way in which I was "being emotionally abusive".

I'm now in a new relationship, and a few times I've pre-emptively apologized to my partner about similar actions, because I was concerned about them being interpreted as controlling. I was floored when she responded with indifference, saying she always appreciates my efforts and that I don't need to worry.

Having a partner who "gets you" and appreciates what you try to do for them has been earth shatteringly beautiful in my life. Empathy unlocks the best parts of life and the human experience. I know I'm extremely fortunate to have eventually gotten to where I am, and couldn't be happier with her. Soon I should probably ask if she'll marry me, advice on this would be welcome :) we are 9 months in, see each other every day and never fight, it's always collaborative.

Anyhow, the conclusion is:

It's always a good idea to ask many questions if you're being told you are wrong a lot, in any relationship (private life as well as work life). Sometimes the real issue may turn out to have nothing to do with you, after all.
So strange to read this as marriage hasn't really registered as thing for me in several years. I'm not sure what the case for it today is. Reading about guys saying if only they had been less of themselves, they might have avoided getting left just leaves me with a bad taste. I'm of the mind that we should take responsibility for our own happiness, and explicitly give others the opportunity to do the same for themselves.

Controversially, if there is one thing I have found people live to regret most it's apologizing. It has taken a while to articulate, but I think apologies are a broken concept because they are what we offer transactionally when we are at a disadvantage, they're an unsatisfying, forced declaration of kind of moral bankruptcy and submission, which is the exact opposite of what someone who loves you wishes for you, or wants from you.

I consider that what I really mean is, "I took this specific thing for granted and what I mean is I don't take it for granted, and thank you for it." Acknowledging and thanking someone for what you recieved from them adds value to a relationship, whereas an apology just asks to write it off. The same may be true for promises as apologies are mainly an artifact of breaking them. Taking responsibility for our own happiness and converting apologies into recognition and thanks before uttering them seems a lot more sustainable and likeable than being introspective and trying to change and compromise. Maybe I'm out of touch, but something about the article rubbed me the wrong way.
SLAs aren't real unless there's a contractual consequence for not meeting them.

And a couple of percent discount on services for the extra downtime isn't really a meaningful consequence.
SLA credits are a thing that actually happen in the industry. I wouldn't automatically assume that they will be able to weasel out of it.

They are typically limited to the amount that you actually paid, though, so basically they don't charge you for the time when you couldn't use the product. You usually won't get more than that.
Given how out of sync tech people are with the general population I 'd be tempted to think it's a buy opportunity. Time will tell.

I met a girl last night in Mexico and she said, "you're not American are you? Americans are loud and they always want the rest of the world to hear them."

This is the sentiment I was trying to express. It's definitely not a cliche. I also find on a slightly related note that a lot of problems on social media are American problems and the rest of the world doesn't really care.

And I feel bad typing this but it's true, and if the USA wants to climb back from its decline it is going to need to get comfortable with reality.

what a pitiable existence
"If you scroll the comments in any popular psychedelics-for-depression post on Reddit, there are almost as many negative experience reports (including some long-lasting) as there are positive reports."

Those trip reports are almost never done in a therapeutic context.

Psychedelic therapy is what research has shown to be very helpful with depression.

When people trip on mushrooms outside of therapy, they often do so:

- with a poor set and setting

- without intention

- with little if any preparation (almost certainly without therapeutic preparation)

- while mixing them with other drugs

- without trusted, experienced trip sitters (much less therapists) there to reassure and help out if need be

- without any integration or therapy afterwards

- without being 100% certain that they were getting real psychedelic mushrooms and not something else (like poisonous mushrooms)

- while believing all sorts of myths about psychedelics (which might be cleared up by trained therapists in the pre-therapy preparation)

So no wonder quite a few people have "bad trips".

Even so, just because someone has a "bad trip" (or difficult/negative experience) doesn't mean that their experience couldn't be of value to them.

It's quite common for people to report that their difficult experiences were actually very valuable to them. My own have been more valuable than my good experiences. The good experiences were fun and all, but the bad ones were incredibly insightful.

When done in a therapeutic context, with trained psychedelic therapists and the right preparation, integration, and followup therapy, there should be many more positive outcomes than in the anecdotal trip reports that you'll read from people tripping casually.

I don't see the contradiction. The only thing they used from the name is the "right angle" aspect. Given their argument is this is a composition of thunderbolt + X, for some X (and derived from their prior knowledge of thunderbolt's compositional meaning), deciphering the image as "thunderbolt + right angle" is trivial and consistent with the naming origin in TFA.

Most SLAs say "if we miss this, you get time for free" which means that these companies will hopefully get a refund ... for the time they can't use the service.

SLAs are mostly aspirational.
you are still missing the real problem. it does not matter that it's just one cup. what matters is that you are refusing to accept that this is bothering her. you need to find out why it bothers her and work out a compromise that you both can live with.

* compromise isn't simply "doing what she wants you to do, when she wants you to do it.*

right, but neither is ignoring the problem.

with small things like these sometimes the only way is that for some issue you defer to your partner, and for other issues your partner defers to you.

if one partner is always getting their way then there is a problem with the relationship. and you'll need to work that out. stop arguing about the cup and start listening to each other.

My husband and I had one of our first major fights over fruits and newspapers. I'm a bit of a packrat, and he is someone who embodies minimalism.
I let fruit rot a bit in the kitchen, and kept a lot of newspapers, magazines, and other "junk mail".

Eventually one day he flipped out over them. We have come to an unpleasant compromise. Once a month, he gives me a week notice, he's going to throw it all out, and then he does. I've come to accept it, since there isn't much he gets bothered by otherwise.

I fell out of love with Nix (including flakes) just as fast as falling in love with it. The current approach for updating packages seems to have a massive human scalability problem (3.3k open PRs [1]), and several packages are very out of date. I still use it on my work mac because nix-darwin does bring some semblance of sanity to the platform, but I've switched to Silverblue on my personal machines.

Nix feels more like an incredible research project to me. Guix is a good example of what happens when those great ideas are put through some refinement (but I can't use it on any of my machines).

Silverblue has convinced me that some unbundling is needed. The concept of an immutable base is extremely powerful, and there's good wisdom in their strong discouragement of using ostree to install regular apps. Being able to rebase onto Kinoite, and back, was an eye-opening experience for me.

In my opinion, an ideal tool would:

* Ignore system packages ("immutable-land") altogether. This makes system updates trivial.

* Use additional layers ("layer-land") only where absolutely required: drivers or /etc edits for example.

* Rely on flatpak as much as possible for "mutable-land", it could reach into flatpak sandboxes and blindly sync those dotfiles.

* For "mutable-land" outside of packages (DE stuff usually, like the wallpaper), it would have deep knowledge of those.

There is definitely benefit to being able to edit your dotfiles in one place (which we see with Nix), but the happy path should be 100% transparent to the user.
