> First, not rules but guidelines. Second, you have been responding with passive-aggressive insults and retorts which also makes for unpleasant conversation.

You continue nitpicking! You would do better if you followed those "guidelines". Indeed this conversation has been unpleasant, but it's all on you. You have been condescending and insulting. I suggest you focus your energies on better enterprises next time, maybe engage with the article itself instead of picking on others. It will do you good.

> The "prodding" is because I don't think your argument has any merit yet, but perhaps this could change if you provided some underlying reason?

Surely you can see there's nothing to gain by explaining myself to someone who thinks "my argument doesn't have any merit" (and who doesn't think that's insulting) and who keeps misrepresenting everything I say? I just said something, shared by many others, and you felt triggered by the opinion: that's fine, I don't want to convince you of anything, nor do I feel like being "educated" by you.

> Maybe I am too accustomed with the idea of "keeping my identity small" and "strong opinions, loosely held", that it's natural to me to differentiate an "attack" on the argument vs the person?

Well, you haven't done a good job at it, then!

What do you hope to gain, at this point? Are you waiting for me to "see reason"? That's not going to happen. Surely you see sooner or later dang will intervene here and tell us to shut it down?

re: insulting, passive-aggressive behavior: I re-read our exchange from the start. I was polite, even agreed with you sometimes ("I'm nodding in agreement, why do you think I think otherwise") while your tone kept getting more condescending with each reply, failing to accept my agreements and prodding in what I guess you felt was an "educational" tone. Honestly, hand on your heart, do you believe your responses were made in the best possible tone and were the best way to conduct an honest conversation? Do you believe the default position of "this argument has no merit, but maybe if this person explains his team's and company's motivations to my satisfaction I might change my mind" is a mindset that is conducive to amicable conversation? I think, if you're honest, you should admit maybe a tiny bit of misbehavior here.

I also read replies you've made in other articles and you seem more reasonable. I'll chalk it up to you not being able to let go at this point, and so you must bite and nitpick at everything I say. I really think you should let it go, make your peace with not being able to convince me of your point of view, and move on to other enterprises.
Ma & Pa Kettle had their run-in with the home of the future.
There’s a whole online subculture of women adopting traditional aesthetics and dressing like pilgrims. It’s hard to gauge their sincerity, but they are “converting” to Catholicism and fundamentalist Islam.

Being transgressive is definitely cool for disaffected trust fund kids who didn’t get into Deloitte, but I think there are darker undercurrents like you are implying.

The real irony in all of this is the post-modern and Marxist influences of the movement. Which is hilarious due to the Red Scare level of hysteria reactionaries have about those ideologies.
It may not even be acyclic. For example it appears fetal DNA is permanently detectable in mothers and may even have health benefits that conceivably increase the mother’s evolutionary fitness.
If you sell in place a and buy back in place b, you might sometimes get less of it back for the same money.

Brilliant. Just what I need.

Better still would be a docker container with a Pycom emulator, but this will get me 90% of what I would like
Also can't tell if you're trolling bec a use just...what?

I'd better go do some research on how to eat that salad or apple...really?

Just pkease go read the book How Not To Die.
If you needed to share files outside of code or what have you, you would have to use Google Drive. Perhaps not all developers wind up needing this very often. But realistically, for me, the majority of the benefit would’ve been integration. I’m sorry, but browsing files in a web browser absolutely sucks. Even if double clicking a document only opened Google Docs, that would still be a usability win.

At my current workplace I use a FUSE driver to get Google Drive in my file browser and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Ofcourse, that is how professional product organizations work. They define user personas and buyer personas, and then make sure they have a compelling story and features not only for the user personas, but also for the buyer personas.

It's not about wining and dining, but about knowing what your buyers value in the products they buy. For low-code, buyer personas value time-to-market and reducing dependency on limited available software engineers. Management often has more software needs than the IT organization can deliver, and new engineers cannot be found easily, so they look for other ways to build the software they need.
I think this subculture you've noticed might actually be part of that "Red Scare."

I really don't like the "cultural socialism" phrase. There are too many connotations in it and it's probably too vague for everyone. The way I see it there are really three extremes you can take on any political issue: One is an authoritarian preservation (or restoration) of culture, another is the authoritarian deconstruction (or liberation) of culture, and one is the libertarian position (which is almost moderate by definition; the individual communities are left to figure out what they want.)

The socialists/communists/bolsheviks (and in a more moderate sense, progressives) or in other words "The Left" are near the "authoritarian deconstruction" extreme. Examples of these might be the American progressives trying to take control of children's sexuality away from parents or the people writing laws against the cast system in India.

The Fascists, monarchists, religious fundamentalists, and in a moderate sense conservatives, or in other words "The Right" are near the "authoritarian preservation" extreme. Examples of these include the Taliban, America First etc.

The libertarians/liberals/anarchists are what we already know. Something I don't think people appreciate about them though is that they allow for consensus in some situations where none is achievable. People often confuse them for the Right because of the US's tradition of liberty and because of the freedom of association thing. They confuse them for the left because of how destructive anarchy is.

None of these extremes are ideal. All degenerate into something horrible if you lean hard into any one. It's much easier to understand your own position on any topic along with someone else's because they become a vector of sorts made up of these.

I think you've grouped the two authoritarian extremes under "cultural socialists" and are confused because they're different phenomena (often reactions to each other.)
>you will solve that problem and generate business opportunities for new solutions.

You might "solve" the problem of landfills being used, at the expense of additional resources (eg. labor, energy, capital) being devoted to doing the same stuff (ie. getting rid of waste). I'm skeptical the trade-off is worth it, considering that soap isn't super toxic, landfills are lined anyways, and that we're not exactly running out of landfill space any time soon.
I assumed 15% taxes, so 80k - 15k (taxes) - 40k (living expenses) = 25k
I think before I elaborate too much I have to ask you a question: do you genuinely believe that most of Gen Z is actually refusing to work/is against the entire concept of working for pay?
It's only (128 choose k) I think. Why are you multiplying with 2^k?

This sort of attitude is what keeps Nix from reaching a wider audience.
France does not need migrants to run its economy. This is no longer the 60s.

Systemic unemployment is high, unemployment among the young is very high. Economically there is no need for immigrants.

I don't think any European country has a solution (at least an 'acceptable' solution) to assimilate Muslim immigrants. Very bluntly, IMHO assimilation is not possible, only integration with society becoming multi-cultural.
Great news! Would love to have high bandwidth in-flight connectivity where a Google Doc can actually load.
As a Google employee using Linux, the kind of files I stored in Drive were rarely useful synced to my filesystem.
At some point we need to start talking about the pandemic's short and long term effect on mental health, especially in children. We need to somehow remove the political and emotional lens in evaluating the efficacy of policies across many key areas to figure out what we should do next time. We got punched in the face as a society and we all did what we felt was right with little to no information, but we have time now to digest.
A well-prepared PDF can include metadata about each page, so that reader software will be able to display the "logical" page number in addition to the actual numerical index. E.g. a page in the prologue of a book might show up as "xvii (19 of 150)".
> The -f- version seems to do more video processing in the firmware rather than in the kernel. I can't tell you exactly what they do differently, but I'd assume that the -f- variant uses some kind of Broadcom magic and the non-f-version runs mostly in-kernel and therefore has different side effects when it comes to video processing.

What does it mean to do video processing "in the kernel?" I assume that cannot mean software decoding-- if that were the case I wouldn't be able to play back smoothly.
How can you measure unique users if they are using Apple’s PrivateRelay?
To add to the other answers, it's also because most persons are bad at coding. They do understand the basic of an if/else/loop but can't create any kind of process with them.

I hope you are saying that partially in jest.

Audiophiles tend to care so much about the gear (and especially about what it cost them) they tend to forget about the music. I've seen a couple in my life to date and it was always quite amusing to see them utterly flounder when it came to defining what they like in music if it doesn't help them to show off their gear.

By the time the music has been recorded and reproduced it is so far away from the original that I suspect that the true audiophiles are the people who go to the concerts rather than to sit at home. Nothing like a front row seat to a chamber orchestra or a nice symphony orchestra. And a lot cheaper than high end audio gear, but maybe not quite as practical. Still, for quality and lack of distortion it can't be beat.
For fields especially resistant to new ideas, Egyptology takes the prize.

Thus far surface luminescence has been used only once, and produced results only just barely acceptable. A chip from a facing stone of one of the Giza pyramids, and from the Valley Temple showed an age of 5000 years, +/- 500 years, where the officially assumed age is 4500 years. That was enough of that!
I think the living expenses include health expenses, but other expenses like phones and travel probably not

In the early days of the pandemic, many places required you to visit their doctor to get a prescription for a test before they would test you. When I caught COVID very early on, I was stuck in this boat -- I was sick with a moderate respiratory illness and I was afraid to be around anybody in case I killed them (and also I was terrified of what might happen to me -- at that time, there weren't that many well-publicized mild cases). But, I couldn't find a test that I could get on short notice.

All the "testing centers" had weeks-long waiting lists for tests. But my friendly neighborhood urgent care would give me a same day appointment (test results in 3-5 days). I drove to the clinic, sat in my car outside, did a virtual doctor visit where I described my symptoms, they approved the test, and sent a nurse in many masks to come administer the test car-side.

By executive order, the test itself was free to me (if I presented an insurance card, they could bill the insurance, if I was a "cash patient" it had to be actually free) but they could and did charge their usual price for the doctor's visit. At the time, my employer had a special covid-response program where virtual doctor visits were all covered 100% so it cost me nothing anyway, but the clinic did bill my employer for the visit (and the test).
Surely the solution is liquid products in larger squirty containers.
Without the urge of the companies to track everything they can, you wouldn't have to deal with cookie banners. The only fault the EU has is that the fines for companies are far, far too low and the enforcement is too slow and rare
Fahrenheit was actually defined so 0 °F was the freezing point of brine, and 100 °F was roughly human body temperature.
Older kids can help raising the others, I think having just one is where you do the maximum amount of work, also because with the later ones you are more experienced.
You're not wrong. It's kind of like the FLOSS community was 20 years ago.
Definitely. Brave New World immediately sent my mind to think "Digital Rights Management" and "Key Management Server" had come to Fedora in a new dystopian way.
> Then you're not connecting with the US "left" (probably not a coincidence).

I doubt the US left knows what left is :)
SSDs have a lot more aggressive error correction than most filesystems because they anticipate a high error rate and are constantly changing the map of logical blocks to physical blocks.

Tapes at rest don't have to worry about that though.
> While it looks neat, I’m not convinced we’ll see barebone single board computers where users can insert their own eMMC flash and RAM any time soon, since it would likely add to the overall costs. A more likely use would be for board vendors wanting to test RAM chips from various vendors and of different capacities.

Most SBCs use socketed eMMC chips available in various capacities. Pine64 and Odroid's eMMCs are compatible, at least, and live on a tiny little board you can swap out.

I don't see the cost and complexity as being worth it, though. Just stuff the things full of RAM, have lower capacity options, and solder it - same as we see today. Yes, it's nice on paper to swap the RAM out, but I guarantee these sockets aren't cheap, and for something that's used once or twice, eh. Not worth the hassle...

I like things that are easily repaired, but I also don't see a huge wave of ARM SBC RAM failures. They're already repairable, it just requires hot air rework and a bit more skill than swapping a DIMM.
They are kind of useful to levy billions of dollars from a handful of US companies. Laws are absurd, over complicated, and unevenly applied, but at least they finance the Brussels bureaucracy.

I wonder if the Catholic Church applies the laws of data protection. If they retain or delete the records of the approximately 80% of baptized population.
I really don't see how you're saying anything different than what I said, but okay

Cultural factors that can influence the measures and outcomes.
Arguably the single faucet design has positives and negatives - it is easier to use (if designed right) but it also has a much more complicated "cartridge" vs a simple rubber washer.
No. Because the US courts have repeatedly declared that non-Americans have no due process rights. There is no contract or agreement an US company can provide or commit to that overrides US law.

US law is that data from non-Americans does not have 4th amendment protection, and so any US entity is required to hand over data on request. It may require an NSL, I really can’t recall, but an NSL is a rubber stamp that is no harder to get than a subpoena.

There is also no facility for redress in the event that a US entity illegally retrieves your data, largely because the aforementioned belief that US law enforcement is literally entitled to that data. In other words it is inherently impossible for any “illegal” search or retrieval.

The US government has also ruled the old workaround of keeping data of EU folk in the EU does not work: if the data is under the control of a US entity, then the data is subject to arbitrary demands from US law enforcement.

Even if you put those aside, the US doesn’t provide its own residents with the level of data protection ostensibly guaranteed by the EU. That’s unlikely to change as long as google, Facebook, continue paying to stop any data protection legislation.
That clip is a fantastic counter example: it offered a front row seat to a world class performance utterly distortion free. Ok, not the ideal venue but I would have been more than happy to miss any number of appointments just to stand there for the full duration.

Of course some of those people were probably in a hurry to not be late for the evening's performance ;)
Don't be angry at the EU, be angry of the owners of the website that makes it hard to say no to tracking.
Maybe you should try to understand why certain kinds of people (of, perhaps the non-white kind) would not want to move into an insular community?
One potential problem with this article is that your LOCATION can also determine which videos are suggested to you. So if you're in New York City, you're not going to see the same suggestions as someone in Arkansas.
It's strange if you have a particular conception of money. If you think of money as a social technology used to improve aggregate well being, then it's just a property that empirically makes sense. Private banking, with effective regulation, has proven to be a fairly effective way to stabilize the business cycle and unblock growth

Many issues. The tuning of each instrument is a bag of compromises, especially on instruments where the notes are not entirely independent of one another. Woodwind instruments have fewer keys than notes, so each key has multiple roles. Each octave has its own quirks.

Woodwind instruments have "bad" notes, and I once saw an advertisement for a flute with a "new improved scale." Brass instruments have their main valves, but also little tuning slides with hooks on them so you can work them in and out with your extra fingers while playing. It's fascinating to see someone play tuba, it takes both hands to work the thing properly.

Intonation is a lifelong journey for most musicians. Near the end of his life, they interviewed Ray Brown and asked him if he still needed to practice. He said that he still practiced every day, to improve his intonation. If players sound in tune, it's because of an almost obsessive effort to make that happen.

What I'm saying is you can't begin to talk about temperaments until you can play the same note at the same pitch, in any octave, at least twice. I'm a double bassist, and I'm still working on that, after playing for nearly 40 years.
I surmise it'd look like a slow-motion version of an equalizer light diagram!

Fine by me; there's plenty of natural beauty and life style that would be utterly ruined by a massive influx of tech bro outsiders.

In the last year or two a locally-famous lighthouse went up for sale and was bought for cash by some guy from silicon valley. Instead of being turned into an attraction, or a house, or hell even an Airbnb spot, it remains untouched much to the chagrin of the locals. I guess the new owner can't be bothered to come out here and just liked the idea of bragging that he owned it.
This. My house has more than doubled since 2014. There's a huge gap between those who can afford a $300k house and those who can afford an $800K house.
Hmm. Was the farmer compensated?
The Drive API is pretty stable. So given that we're talking about Linux, the immediate question that comes to my mind is "why hasn't somebody written it themselves?"

Perhaps Google sees no benefit in building a service in a space where users can self serve making it.
It's not all poor programming. There's a lot of repetition in software development. If you can find the right abstractions you can make software engineering a lot more efficient. This works, regardless if you visualize the abstraction or you put it in a function in a library.
I'm with you, I try and use a different word whilst keeping it plausibly common, it's part of the cerebral challenge. Using an algorithmic approach is efficient but not "fun". Target is always 3.
No, those websites chose to make you do that.

They could stop selling your data to google, Facebook, etc

Or I guess you could blame the legislation that at least makes it obvious that that’s what they’re doing?
If this genre appeals to you, the Bits About Money newsletter (https://bam.kalzumeus.com/archive/) has a lot more content along these general "how finance really works" themes. The article about mortgages, in particular, is great.
> Yes. That's why the quoted factoid talks about "at this stage in their life". If you look back at boomers and genx, they had 4 and 2 times as much wealth as millennials do when they were the same age.

I missed and am continuing to completely miss this. Do you mean in the article? If true, would that align with the difference in population size (distribution of a finite amount of wealth to more people)? It would be interesting if so, because it could mean that we're in for even more interesting times when the population shrinks in 50 years.

> Why would that matter? Even if that happens sometimes it's not like it changes things on a generational level if the lowest earners get fired slightly more often.

True, but do they? I'm not saying they don't, but haven't seen anything to indicate they do. I've seen people get away with things that would have gotten me fired at their age, so am inclined to believe people are not getting fired more often.
I haven't used a Happy Hacking Keyboard, but why not left ctrl -> escape and tilde remains tilde? Perhaps it's just my hands but I feel reaching left ctrl is easier than reaching the tilde key, and I imagine hitting escape is more frequent than tilde (?)
