There's an accessibility setting to add borders to toolbar buttons, I had to turn that on to undo all the cLeAnLInEsS and make the damn thing practical. I still wish I could undo the toolbars combined with title bars as well — they're cramped for no good reason yet "airy" because of way too much padding. But then these things apparently don't inconvenience me enough to patch the OS to have it my way.

Switching to other OS is not an option for me at this point. Everything else is even worse. Windows is a piece of malware at this point (in addition to being a UX consistency clusterfuck and Microsoft's insistence on making touchscreens a thing), desktop Linux is as much of a nightmare as it's always been.
His artwork is also amazing. Somehow only a topologist could make works like it (i feel).

I do wonder if his strange history is influenced by his mathematics. The idea of 'copies' of the same event but with different names seems quite mathematical.
Milk should be the beverage of choice for growing kids who do not have contraindications. 3.25% milk is recommended up until 2 years of age, and to continue into older age if there are no issues with obesity.

Much of US rail is literally trucks on trains - not even containers but actual trailers.

This allows a quicker switch to last-mile whilst still moving much of the distance on rail.
That sounds like and optimistic time frame. Hope you're right.
Between land that gets enough rain for intensive cultivation without draining aquifers and land that's a barren desert there's a wide range and you can still graze cows on most of it, though it takes more land per cow in drier areas.
The fear surrounding soy milk were unfounded. No studies have shown an impact on us but the proposition that it could is very persistent.
Oatly and Califa have barista blends that get close. I've been using Minor Figures for a few weeks and have been enjoying it.
Cafe was out of cows milk one day, so i had oat milk instead. It was fine - it was different but I could get used to it. Prefer cow milk, but just because that's what im used to right now.
If we go purely on factors contributing to obesity, plant milks may not necessarily be better. Many plant milks are carb heavy with not much in the way of fat or protein, so it won’t make you feel as full as milk.
This idea of higher hour and higher skill jobs doesn't necessarily conflict with the claim about not working (or being lazy). Workforce participation rates are historically low in the US.

So the people who work tend to work hard. But a large number of people choose not to work or even seek work (for a variety of reasons, so lazy might be a little too catch-all).
The “soy can mess with hormones” meme comes from the fact that soy contains weak estrogen like compounds, and the internet has blown up about it (particularly in health and fitness circles where there’s a good deal of concern about maintaining one’s manliness).

What gets left out is the fact that phytoestrogens are ubiquitous, found in many plant foods. [0]

That's a fair assessment and there are a lot of different impacts to be aware of. Like you said founders who are hypersensitive and might over react probably need a slightly less responsive response to VC. Tough power dynamic though so I get why founders would react.

The cash-rich funds are coming in as there aren't good looking exits at this point due to the inflated valuations / overall market conditions. Might be helpful for founders for sure. Curious how this will impact the broader community and how that will play out on their actual fund returns. Definitely puts the squeeze on smaller seed / angel investors
Will Apple finally make up their mind? Most of the big tech are getting more and more work remote friendly. If they want to retain talents ... they must align with them. Otherwise they will continue to bleed engineers to FB, Google, etc ...
> They should limit the number of days per year a place can be rented, simple. Then you only rent if it's really your home and you're not there…

This! As a user of Airbnb when traveling, I've found that renting "real" homes has been a superior experience. They actually have sensible furniture and decorations. They also tend to have common-sense items available, like plungers next to toilets.
If this causes decent cheese to go past "damn, that's expensive" and into "I can no longer afford this", at least I won't mind death so much, I guess.
Interesting, I didn't think about this! Although it can work, using logs or APM without infrastructure monitoring was not a design goal for the agent. For this use case, I'd investigate using https://vector.dev/ instead of the full agent.

You sound like you're caught up up on what you should have done in the past, rather than what you could be doing now.

It seems like you enjoyed your former employer, just not the role you ended up in. Is the bridge burned there, or could you pivot back to your original role, then try to work your way into that manager role, down the road? Perhaps even jump into that manager role right away? Don't think about the director role right now.

Yeah, preach. I wrote Go professionally for a couple of years, and I write Python now (I know, I know, but they pay me a ridiculous amount to do it). I would choose almost anything, including JS, over Go. It's a good language if you need to write highly concurrent high-level code with low-skill devs, but not for much else, and even then it requires an inordinate amount of menial boilerplate work to get simple stuff done. Having said that, I would still choose it – indeed anything - over Python.
I love all the cool backend remote storage projects we have, but what I really want is a simple, well-specified app protocol for filesystem operations. WebDAV is too crufty. I'm bullish on Solid but I think there's room for something much simpler. I've done a bit of work[0] in this space but keep getting distracted with other parts of the self-hosted storage stack.

Haha, I considered dropping the opening quote as well, and I think there is good reason to do so. ;-)
> storage is relatively cheap

Server storage is relatively cheap, mobile storage is a different kettle of fish, and even with a lot of storage, if you have a large music collection it's much easier to blow way past with FLAC as it's at least an order of magnitude larger than even high-quality lossy tracks. I can't put my entire collection on my phone even after having converted it to a lossy format, putting the lossless masters is plain not an option.

And since conversion is easy to do, and to automate, really the only reason to put lossless tracks on a device other than the storage server where they live is sheer laziness.
I recall back in the previous boom of 2006-2007 they were paying high school graduates $200k to work in the fields. They would even fly you in and you work a few days then fly you out.

I wonder if salaries have changed since then.

Child pornography, calls to violence etc. I think anybody agrees that, to some degree, things have to be banned.

The main reason no such provision exists is that there simply is no widespread movement to glorify, for example the Iraq war.

Absolutely. I just hope some solution can be found, which actually works, because you can only through so many judges against bots, foreign actors etc.

Assuming there is still some demand, this would presumably open up opportunities for small local dairies, no?
I make an amount of money that I could not have ever imagined making growing up. Multiples of what I thought my best case would be. I save almost every penny of that that doesn't go into housing or food. Over 70% marginal savings after tax.

I'm still struggling to find a house in Washington that I like that I can afford. It's fine for me, I'll be able make it work after saving a bit but it definitely made me realize how screwed the average person is. It's an impossible task if you don't already have hundreds of thousands saved and well into a six figure salary.
Thankfully, this isn't the only think people are trying to be better about. I think it's good to try and tackle a problem from multiple angles.

I also don't think anyone is trying to (realistically) take away your milk. It is useful though to inform people about the impacts of their choice, and let them make an informed decision.
CDs are just digital storage media. You could just layer DRM on top of it, but you'd have to get the whole ecosystem to move. And I have to think they probably would if the RIAA insisted.

My read on that is that it is total comp, so it includes bonuses/RSUs/options. If you're not negotiating for those things, what are you doing. Though $200k base salary is not a crazy salary for a staff/principle/high-level engineer.

I don't think people realize how corrosive to mental health a $200k engineering job can be though. I was making very close to that as a base salary, and the amount of responsibilities I had, that all directly contributed to the success of the organization and the engineering team, was frankly staggering. I was always available, even when I wasn't "on call." I was always putting out very important fires. It never ended.
Why Putin Plays Our Presidents for Fools (2014)
Tailscalar here.

Go made prototyping our product easy. We have relatively rarely needed Go expertise on the team to make the product better, when we did it was for the exotic iOS environment (not normal iOS, the Network Extension).

It’s far from perfect (and I really should write an experience report about all the times Go has let us down!), but it gives us less trouble than Node and Swift do, for our relatively minor uses of those languages. I don’t think any other language would have been a better choice, even putting our expertise aside.

On the whole I would say you don’t need Go experts on your team to build products in the language.
I'm not a milk or milk alternative drinker but when I've looked at things like Oatly they seem to have at least as many calories and sugar as something like skim milk.

Can you describe a coherent and consistent multithreaded model completely in 100 pages?
I tried for a really, really long time to implement backward compatibility (and was even impressed with things I came up with) but Apple makes it incredibly hard. Certain hard boundaries can be crossed, e.g. some point where the compiler/runtime support changes. At a certain point you are looking at practically two implementations if you want the same code to not look somewhat antiquated on newer systems UI-wise, too. And of course, Xcode just starts outright refusing to compile which means you might need older Xcode versions and even older hardware.

The worst part is that for every 5 cool things they add, they do at least one really stupid annoying new thing on macOS that makes using newer systems annoying.

For example, if there is one thing I recommend everyone do right now, is set this on newer macOS:

`NSAlertMetricsGatheringEnabled = 0`

It completely removes the majority of those stupid iOS-style alert boxes and returns them to the older sane layout.
Yes that is a better user experience. Suppose we want to design a site which is as nice as possible to the users who dislike the whole location business. So we make it opt-in. We can (A) use the location stuff in the browser or (B) just go by IP address.

Under both A and B we have our own opt-in preference. Under A, when the user enables the op-in preference, they are additionally bugged by the browser to allow that. Under B, they are not bugged by the browser: we just go ahead and start making use of their IP address.

By the way, I do not see anywhere in the Firefox settings a place where you can set what your location is. If users could specify their location, then that would be a good reason to prefer that mechanism over IP-based geolocation where the only way to change your apparent location is to use a VPN.
On Android tethering can be enabled with just a few taps.

I wonder whether this could be automated, e.g. you click on the macOS toolbar and a macOS app communicates with an Android app and the apps do the needed actions in the respective operating systems (enable tethering on Android, connect to the WiFi network from macOS).
Actually we haven't evolved to digest milk after childhood that well:

While most infants can digest lactose, many people begin to develop lactose malabsorption—a reduced ability to digest lactose—after infancy. Experts estimate that about 68 percent of the world’s population has lactose malabsorption.1
Lactose malabsorption is more common in some parts of the world than in others. In Africa and Asia, most people have lactose malabsorption. In some regions, such as northern Europe, many people carry a gene that allows them to digest lactose after infancy, and lactose malabsorption is less common.1,2 In the United States, about 36 percent of people have lactose malabsorption.1
While lactose malabsorption causes lactose intolerance, not all people with lactose malabsorption have lactose intolerance.

Well this way of doing things has been a vastly cheaper way of borrowing in the last 50 years, in the UK.

If the interest rates tip up for an extended duration, yes, it's possible that longer term fixed rates could be cheaper, but of course the banks insulate themselves against that possibility with even higher rates if they suspect it's likely.

It's possible they won't insulate enough. IME, betting against banks looking out for #1 is foolish.

As a counterpoint (anecdata...) to some comments here...

After contracting covid around Christmas and ~recovering over about 2 weeks, one of my younger sisters, 31 + pregnant, started feeling short of breath in late February. She went into the hospital, was held for observation/testing for a little over a day but was in good spirits.

Healthy. No major preexisting conditions before covid (aside from pregnancy and some allergies). No ~ground-glass anomaly (as I understand it).

She went into acute respiratory distress in the wee hours of the morning. Intubation helped get oxygen in, but C02 was building in her blood. Within 4 hours, they made the call to put her on ECMO. They needed to wheel her to another wing of the hospital and told her husband she might not even last that long. The chaplain followed them over.

Once there, they sprayed the walls and bed with her blood, and made her a cyborg for a week. And then we got her back.

(Well. Kinda. She was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia during this episode, and is having to live in the hospital until she delivers.)

She is, demographically, the kind of patient that merits interventions like this. As the news filtered to me several hundred miles away in spurts and haunting silences, I started my grieving when I heard she'd been intubated. ECMO was the only light in the tunnel.

(* I write this as a selfish brother with zero knowledge of the long term financial consequences to my sister and her young family.)

If you go a few generations further back, your ancestors lived in crushing rural poverty but literally hand-made most of the things in their own house, with the rest produced by local craftspeople; grew/raised or gathered/hunted most of their own food; made their own clothing starting from raw materials; etc.

Your buddies today have dramatically greater material wealth due to worldwide supply chains and mass production, but don’t know how to turn an unshorn sheep into a blanket or sweater or build walls out of mud and sticks. Today it’s no longer worth even fixing most stuff because the labor costs to do anything as a one-off are prohibitive compared to buying a new one from a streamlined (capital and energy intensive) factory.
Soy milk hasn't been the favored alternative for a decade or more. Vegetable products are going to make more sense than adults breast-feeding from animals they don't even know.
The simple answer is to do away with the notion that earning income should be taxable. Tax on the consumption side, it's easier to enforce and harder to avoid.
It seems like Airbnb is an easy scapegoat to use for the actual problem of not enough houses existing/being built. Another scapegoat is ‘foreign investors’ but I think this also isn’t true. In the US I think the people willing to make cash offers for houses in expensive cities are often the rich people who live there. There are also companies that will advance you the cash so that you can make a cash offer before going through the whole mortgage process, which seems a bit silly but if these companies exist then some people making cash offers must also be regularish wealthy home buyers who will use regular mortgages.

I understand taking historical perspective, but I'm not a fan of complete equanimity about change. Lots of bad stuff is "happening all the time", like murder and cancer. It'd be nice to acknowledge when the things that are happening seem to be good or bad.
At a premium price, yes. Depending on the macro, there’s always a low volume artisanal segment at a price point that covers costs.
This is the first I've heard of it. The physics of it seems fine. The engineering is going to be very hard for them to get right.

Just skimming their web site, range is qualified as "WLTP drive cycle". I assume that means software enforced torque and speed limits, and no one is going to want to drive with that enabled.

Using 4 independent motors implies they're using in-hub motors. They don't seem to mention a top speed anywhere. Unless their motors have dynamically adjustable air gaps (which I am guessing they don't), the motors will have a fixed KV constant. That means the top speed of the vehicle will be limited by battery voltage at some point. Maybe that limit is high enough not to matter, but it's funny they don't specify it.

Using in-hub motors also means there's a lot of mass on the wheels themselves. I'm not a mechanical engineer, but my understanding is that adding wheel mass makes suspension design a lot more difficult. On top of that, the rest of the car is presumably a couple hundred lb of batteries, and then a bunch of lightweight composites. The batteries will likely be in the floor, which is good for vehicle dynamics. The overall car will be significantly lighter than what people are used to. I think it's possible that the car will have a relatively rough ride, and could possibly have more noise than usual in the passenger compartment.

Crash-safety wise, I wouldn't want to drive that car on a busy highway. In the US, it would likely struggle to pass crash safety testing. I wonder if they are certifying it as a low speed vehicle, which would put it in the same regulatory class as a golf cart. It would have to have a 40kph speed limit on level ground.

It will probably cost more than a Tesla. At the end of the day, slapping a solar roof on a Tesla would probably get a lot of folk to the grocery store and back every few days. Mounting the same panels on the ground and plugging in the Tesla would be even more effective.
So he lives in an extremely dangerous place with utterly ineffective policing and we're supposed to envy him?
Oatly original has 7g of sugar - 1 cup of whole cows milk has 12 g of sugar. So it is still significantly less sugar than cow's milk. I drink planet oat milk, and that only has 4g of sugar and tastes good to me.
> Creating market distortions that purposely reduces the value of property and discourages production of the good is not the way to go.

Zoning laws already create market distortions. A zoning law that prevents building denser residential property is no more or less distortionary than a policy that prohibits short-term rentals.

Also, reducing the future expected value of property does not discourage builders; they only care about the sale price today (or, today + build time).

> That would be like banning expensive restaurants because they're running up rent on inexpensive restaurants and soup kitchens.

Restaurants are also far higher on the hierarchy of needs than shelter.

We do distort the market in favor of soup kitchens -- they have substantial tax benefits and in many places they can operate out of differently zoned property.
Some compounds just seem to naturally shift from hyphen-separated to no separation. Just one facet of the evolution of language, its spelling, and the randomness at play. E-mail isn't necessarily any more deserving of a hyphen than words like permafrost or sitcom are. Why didn't they get hyphens? Who knows.
I didn't see it discussed in the article, but I'm very excited about possibilities like Perfect Day [1]. They provide "animal-free" milk. Unlike other alternatives, this product contains actual milk proteins derived from microflora. So it has more of the texture, taste, and nutritional content you expect from milk, but animals are not involved in the manufacturing.

I'd love to see how animal-free protein products stack up against these other alternatives. I think including it in the comparison may do something to assuage the "but it's not milk, so..." objections.
