That thread turned from a pretty straight-forward permission issue discussion to a display of some esoteric dark arts in only a few posts!

Not sure if I consider vim either simple or sane, but then again, it was first released quite a while ago, in 1991 for the Amiga, and it was based on the even older original vi from 1971 - the era of physical TTYs, no mice, and punchcard programming (ugh! glad I wasn't born yet).

Can hardly blame grandpa for forgetting and acting strange every once in a while at his age :)
Did the phrase "salary man" exist before the Japanese phrase? I believe it's kind of a loan word that just happens to be made up of originally English words.
I don't have a source, but I've heard him say it on his podcast before. I realize it's mostly hearsay since I can't provide a source.

The ruling party never been serious for demographic problem. They even don't want to allow different surname for family despite changing surname is annoying and it's blocker to marriage.
then what was your objection? Capitalism incentivises profiteering, the crypto industry is an example of practically pure profiteering.
Some people change their account name on Twitter pretty often, since they use an alias, pun, etc. as their display name instead of a real name.
> You're assuming that economic outcome is the one metric by which all people should be equalized. This seems a bit presumptive doesn't it?

I didn’t mention anything specifically about economic outcomes, although obviously money can have a big effect on important outcomes like nutrition and medical care.

> No one said they are inferior, only that they seem produce different results. It's you who is characterizing these as inferior.

Someone did say this. The comment I’m responding to used the terms “drastically worse outcomes” and “lesser people.” Also, I’m not here to quibble about questions like “is it really worse to be starving than to be well-fed?”
Weird website.
Did I miss it, or does the article not actually explain why we know that at least one pair can be eliminated every round? It seems plausible that the process could get "stuck" in a place where Peter and Sandy both don't learn anything new from discovering the other doesn't know the answer yet.

(The puzzle being solvable means that they can't actually get stuck, but that feels like outside information...)
I think it's a matter of age perspective. In 20 more years the device will have an exponentially less information that you need to thrive, because now a lot of that knowledge and wisdom is in your head. The device loses a lot of it's value to you personally then, but doesn't mean the device is useless for everyone.

How 'bout FancyWM?
I don’t get this. I got a cel phone when I was 22. Before that, I didn’t have the faintest idea that I was missing anything. I ranged as far as I could, first by bike, then by car. I kept quarters in my car for pay phones. I had a book of paper street maps on the floor in the back seat. I knew where every amenity of every type was in every town in the eastern half of the state. I learned their locations by looking out the windshield.
There's a funny part at the start of another Gibson novel where the protagonist "wishes he was back in Chiyoda", which is kind of like saying you live in Santa Clara County instead of San Jose. I guess it was harder to do research back then.
I've always found it mildly amusing that Gibson picked Chiba, of all places, for his "Night City". In reality it's a rather dull suburban, mostly residential extension of Tokyo (in Japanese, a "bed town") primarily known as the location of Narita Airport, with both criminal organizations and zaibatsu HQs in distinctly short supply.

That said, I'm not quite sure where I'd locate it. Akihabara would have been a shoo-in but that's been taken over by the anime crowd. Kawasaki, perhaps?
> this often means other people taking similar risks to rescue them.

I agree about mountains, but I don't think the risks are similar on the sea. Modern large vessels are relatively safe in all weather. Plane and helicopter pilots follow safety protocols, I don't think they gonna fly into a storm.
Thanks! This guy is great! But I have to admit that he looks like one of the elders from Logan’s Run… or most any other 1970s sci-fi TV show. Of course that does not detract from god message. I just got a laugh from it.
> especially considering it's in direct contradiction to consensus medical advice

The RDA, in general, is not necessarily the same as current consensus medical advice. In fact, ISTR that it has actually been clearly established that the RDA for Vitamin D was, given it's premises, based on erroneous calculations, and that there is broadly accepted clinical evidence that it is too low, but the government just hasn't acted to update it.
Wikipedia seems to think it's not one of those:

> Misconception: "If a user doesn't like cookies, they can just disable them in their browser." Wrong: Some cookies may be essential for proper functioning of websites.

We're very much splitting hairs here, but I think your "wrong" is a very subjective statement that's possible to argue with. A user can always disable cookies as it is their machine: this part of the statement is in fact true.

The fact that a site may then break in unknown ways or might continue to function perfectly is an important detail, but it doesn't mean that people can't do it. There's some users that currently browse websites with JavaScript disabled by default, even though the modern web basically depends on it and even highly trafficked sites break in unexpected ways.

> Browsers cannot technically propose any means to disable only non-essential cookies, that's outright impossible. The only entity capable of deciding if a cookie is essential or not is the website that sets the cookie.

I'm not 100% sure if this is entirely accurate either now, or will be so in the near future. I'm not an expert in this field, but apparently there's a lot of research going into figuring out how to prevent tracking cookies from doing damage and extraneous API calls without breaking websites. Here's one example I've heard of.

No fixed address, but:

>>To access the No Fixed Address programme, you must be experiencing housing or homelessness difficulties and receiving support from one of our partner charities.

>>If you aren’t receiving support from Shelter or one of our other partners, you won’t be able to access the No Fixed Address programme.

If they're anything like the charities in North America, they work closely with the state, and receive most of their funding from it. So you have to become dependent on the state - effectively a ward - to qualify.

The true "no fixed addressed bank account" is a MetaMask wallet.
> What am I missing?

The cost of living in the bay area is basically the highest in the world. So after rent, taxes, and food, $250k there is more like $100k almost anywhere else in the country.

The UK has single-player healthcare instead of the US system where nearly all health care dollars go to private companies incentivized to charge as much as the market will bear (how much would you pay to keep from dying?) PLUS a whole insurance industry sitting in the middle and taking an enormous slice of the pie. So healthcare costs in the US are a huge fraction of a US worker's paycheck, even if they are perfectly healthy.

The US tech industry is famous for its 60-80 hour work weeks, especially among the FAANGs, and those companies are willing to pay high wages in exchange.

And at the trailing edge, it's just a different culture and job market all around.
Energy Dome wants to use carbon dioxide to store renewable power on the grid
Ah, I had no idea that's what you meant. Thanks for explaining.
Cooking technique on a wok is very, very different from cooking technique in a skillet. You're expected to move the food around! That's why they call it stir-fry. Nobody (at least, of normal human build) picks up a cast iron skillet and tumbles food.

Woks are great, but you wouldn't pan-fry a steak in a wok.
Yeah, in that case solely remote works best for sure. Maybe you fly to the office (if there is one) a couple times a year… though still nice for that to be optional
I feel amazing being outside, clear blue day, no clouds, green everywhere.

I take photos on these days and use em as a wallpaper on my big monitor, so even in winter time I can remember these times.
Anyone can sue anyone for anything in America. If Mark has consulted with counsel (as well as hopefully has his assets titled/structured in a way to shield them, and a PLUP/umbrella liability policy in place as part of his business venture), it seems this is within his risk tolerance.

If the local tmux then remembers history and allows looking up commands on the remote shell, that would be huge.

Currently all my local work is saved but ssh into another machine? All that work is lost forever unless I explicitly save it.
Thank you I should have said “was designed not to be means tested” instead of the lazy “100%” statement.

FDR’s racial attitudes (or perhaps rather lack of interest in the issue) is rarely discussed, so thanks for bringing that up as well.
6 months or a year ago I started using "mosh" to connect to my main machine from my laptops, and I run tmux on that machine. When I have a network cut, I just wait a few seconds and it's back in business, whether that's moving locations (I use a VPN so my IP is always the same, currently Nebula but has been wireguard and ZeroTier in the past), legit network problems, switching to my cell phone...
Not at all. It's a tiling window manager with workspaces, for all your applications. Terminals, web browser, audio settings, etc.

Personally I run 10 workspaces, named, e.g. 1:Firefox work, 2:vim, 3:tmux+vim, 4:terminals, etc. I even have a workspace designated to "wasting time", tiled reddit, hn, youtube, etc.

Each workspace always have the same apps, tiled in the same way, so I always know where to find what. It's very efficient.

I honestly don’t.

Unless your position is such a cliche, it could also be considered just trolling.
That's the whole point I am all for subduing individuals for the greater good. If it's possible I don't know but never should a single person have power of many.

Tim Ferriss’ primary value is that he was well-connected.

When he could land great podcast guests or interview subjects and let them speak it turned out great.

When he brought on certain friends or acquaintances and they tried to discuss something together with Tim’s input playing a large role, it was anywhere from boring to a disappointing mess. I haven’t listened to his podcast for years after he had a string of pseudoscience guests pushing easily debunked ideas. I vividly remember one where Tim was clearly uneasy with the obvious nonsense his guest was pushing but he wouldn’t dare push back or question anything for any reason. Really disappointing.

Tim Ferriss has always been like that, though. His whole personal brand was built on the idea that he interviewed world-class experts and delivered their knowledge to you. His old blog was almost exclusively “guest posts” which is another way of saying he got other people to write the blog for him (brilliant marketing move).
And so the Declaration of Independence was a direct shot against that. "All men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" is a direct attack against the divine right of kings (and nobles).
I love tuple unpacking but it annoys me endlessly that the *arguments are unpacked into a list, not a tuple. Whereas if you use * in a function signature, you get a tuple, not a list. My code always ends up looking like

first, *rest = xs
rest = tuple(rest)

because often I want to hash "rest".

Another trick I often use:

the_only, = xs

This extracts the single element of a one-element iterable and throws an error if xs is empty or has more than one element.
Thanks for your additional thoughts on this. Appreciate the comments.
Alice says a blunt remark that hurts Bob's feeling (unintentional wrongful speech). Bob lets Alice know that he is hurt. The average person would feel guilt/distress and apologize. Instead, Alice is equipped with attainments from meditation. Alice sees the arising of these negative emotions, non-identifies with them, and goes about her life. Bob rightfully sees this as egocentric behavior. The Eightfold Path tries to address this through Right Speech.

I've also seen it make some people more likely to fall into the trap of woo-science and dodgy, spiritual scams. The practice of awakening forces you to investigate the ways you suffer. Before, they may throw their money at these sketchy MLMs and still suffer. With meditation, they can throw their money at them and also suffer a lot less.
1630 IST is 0700 EDT right now (and 0600 EST in the winter). It’s just barely workable and takes some give and take on both sides.
Go doesn't have a VM, it is always pre-compiled to native binaries specific to the target architecture/platform you want to run it on.

It also generally speaking doesn't have an intermediate representation that you could target directly, because it does a lot of optimization directly on the GO AST. Though you might be able to have a different language compile to its SSA directly, but it would not be easy at all.

The GO runtime also doesn't allow for any dynamic code loading, so you wouldn't be able to have a REPL.
Life is what happens while you're making other plans.

Much in life is just plain old serendipity. A couple of my examples:

I met my current wife when I was tossing up whether to go to a party or not quite late in the evening. The door to the building was locked. I could have walked away, not bothering, and nearly did. But I decided to walk several hundred metres all the way around the building to another door which I knew would be unlocked.

We had sold our house and had planned to move to another state for part-time work within a few months. A week later my brother died in an accident, I had to stay to take over the family business. That completely changed our financial situation, to where we have no financial cares at all.

Another thing to 'listen to' is your dreams. Quite often your head will be telling you one thing, but your subconscious will be telling you something completely different in your dreams. Listen to those. You may not make a different decision, but you will make a more informed decision.
Yeah, I thought the threat model there was "people sure do love random not-particularly-trustworthy public CDNs"
You’re totally right: there’s no guarantee that the candidate list continues to shrink, and there’s no guarantee that it won’t get stuck. For this problem, we are able to leverage the fact that it ends after 15 rounds, so the problem is less “run it until it finds a solution” and more “find the solution after exactly 15 rounds”.

In fact, if you let it run past 15 rounds (for N=100, at least), and check the number of disqualified candidates between rounds, you’ll find that it does get stuck in after 15 rounds as the candidate list doesn’t change. The flip side of this is that there are also solutions before 15 rounds, too, but with the problem’s original statement, we’re looking at exactly 15.
This looks excellent!

in heavy construction, there are personality types, job descriptions, and source of contract, at least.. (what I saw) each specialty has people from "sketchy pickup help with obvious problems" to "journeymen-young" to unionized people or specialty, high-rate sources. Those varying sources have different habits that are sort of consistent within their group. Guys with their own trucks, try to drink on the job, have some kind of sketchy scam moves.. or maybe more modern, people that really do not speak the prevailing language well (edit: English here) and may not really be literate in their own language.. those folk do tend to cheat the safety, have poor training, not look out of themselves or others.. including ear protection.

For some asinine reason, the steel workers are a breed apart, and go deaf regularly while brandishing their intense crafts.

Meanwhile, super fastidious, long-term, skilled people in many trades, wear all sorts of protection, correctly, in good condition.

Of course there is an element of supervision and enforcement in determining how safety equipment is available and used, but more than that I think it is the peer group, the procedures/expectations from their own company, how they got hired, where they come from socially and where they think they are going personally, that changes the habits.

Yeah I get that a lot on eBay when selling stuff - zero feedback accounts with randomly generated names buying stuff and never paying then you have to wait weeks for eBay to do anything. #1 reason why I've stopped using it.

IMO, they're alts from other users that are trying to sell a similar item. I genuinely can't think of any other reason why this would be so widespread.
Other replies have focused on cost of living. I believe that's one factor but everybody underestimates the reluctance to relocate and willingness to relocate factors. After accounting for cost of living, you're still _far_ better off as a software engineer almost anywhere in the US or Canada vs. the UK or anywhere else in Europe.
If "simple" makes you think of "less capabilities" then you are way off the mark.

The challenge is to create something with more capability but architeturally more simple.

I don't understand why they brag about supporting "only English". I'm also not sure what it means: does it mean the system does not even support utf-8 strings? Or is it just about the lack of UI translation to other languages? In either case, it's nothing to brag about. You're just removing capabilities for no reason.

It's important to understand why simplicity is desireable: it's not desireable for itself, it's desireable because, everything else being equal, a simple system is easier to make reliable and robust.

For example, a package manager written in 1000 lines of posix shell script is not a good thing. Shell script is a bad language. It's not simple. Errors are not reported until runtime. It's worse than dynamic languages because shell scripts often create permanent changes to the system. If a script fails mid execution, it might very well leave the system in a broken state.

Now, obviously when dealing with systems that's always possible even if the program is written in a compiled language with static typing and very good compiler error messages. But there's no need to exacerbate the problem by writing a core utility in a shell script that's several hunderd lines of code.

People often dream of being digital nomads. If Airbnb can convince the world to embrace remote work, how many millions (or hundreds of thousands) will work from Airbnb rentals? I agree with the CEO, but not having the world fixed to an office directly and positively affects Airbnb's business.

There is an ombudsman in the USA, but it's no use, I tried in a wronged cashback situation.

Small claims is a nightmare. I've litigated in small claims for over a decade. Most jurisdictions allow the other party to bring a courtroom full of lawyers and witnesses to destroy you. Judges seem to have small claims and side with the real lawyers. Obviously you can pay $25,000 for a real lawyer to fight for your $100 chargeback, but you're unlikely in the USA to get your legal fees back even if you win.
