> So you don’t want to see ads and you don’t want to pay not to see ads?

But even if you do pay, you still see (often longer!) ads because people put sponsor segments in their videos. As far as I can tell, there's no way to skip those, paying or otherwise, except resorting to something like sponsorblock, right?
The other day I was scrolling through google earth and visited the hottest place on earth “Furnace Creek” in Death Valley. And to my surprise there is a golf course right next to it.
Code can also be added to mach-o binaries. An old OSX copy protection system did this.
They said "it would be nice to stop blaming climate change". Climate change is still to blame even if it shares the blame with other causes.

It's certainly very hard but it also is certainly easier than doing it once. You had to buy supplies for 1 meal instead of supplies for say 10 (so 10x the work). You had to setup tables (those would already be setup in a restuarant). Much of the stuff you did it was probably your first time so you were likely both not used to it and inefficent.

But still, running a restaurant seems like super hard work and it really makes me appreciate people who choose to do it.
The major use of water in California is agricultural, not residential, by a large margin.

Moreover, the crops with the highest water usage are not at all the most economically valuable.

The real issue is that the true cost of the water is not passed onto the agricultural farms.
How can I find the image I'm looking for in a folder of 100+? On Mac it's just Spacebar + down arrow until you find it. If you're aware of a way to do this on Windows without installing anything you'll be a lifesaver.
Yes, companies with office cultures that change and become office-less won't change culture. They'll just adjust to the new engagement rules. I don't think there is a point trying to convince anyone to try doing it differently. These organisational behaviours are set in stone.
If you work in tech, don't hold tech stocks. If you work in automotive, don't hold automotive stocks.

So how am I coping? I'm doing great because I don't hold tech stocks. My only position that is in the red this year is chargepoint and that's painful. Mind you, I guess I'm beating the market right now based on some pretty brain dead simple predictions.
__Lake Mead, formed by Hoover Dam in the 1930s and crucial to the water supply of 25 million people, has fallen so low that a barrel containing human remains, believed to date to the 1980s, was found in the receding shoreline on Sunday.__

> Acrobat Pro supports advanced rotations for only $14.99 per month.

That right there is a peak-2022 quote, alright!
PDF splitting sites and DiffChecker.com are some of the best industrial espionage tools ever created.
Address the root problem:

* Watering of non-native grass lawns should outright be banned

* Unsustainable agriculture, like growing baby spinach in the desert during winter, should be forced to pay unsubsidized rates for water, which should be transferred to the consumers of the product

* People living in the desert should have to pay unsubsidized rates for water for consumption
What are features preview has that Okular and Evince are missing?

In my opinion all three apps are worlds better than Acrobat, but I am not sure about the differences between the three.
I think there are two simplifying assumptions that are problems:

1. The cost to hold inventory is equal at all parts of the supply chain - this is demonstrably not true for most supply chains (in fact, it's usually cheapest to hold supply somewhere in the middle of the chain), but retailers like Amazon and Walmart have figured out how to make this almost true. That allows them to operate with less slack.

2. There are almost no demand dynamics. This seems to usually be a good first-order approximation, but we saw during the pandemic that there were some demand shifts that the system was unprepared for. You can handle dynamics in demand if you build slack into the system (in the case of the beer game, this means controlling inventory to some positive number).

I think we were caught in a situation where 1 and 2 were both considered to be true, and we just violently exited that regime. It will be back - we will forget the demand shock and JIT will return since it has the lowest unit costs - but for now we are facing the full brunt of the bullwhip event while we build up stockpiles.
The Sports-Betting Boom Is a Moral Disaster
You just upset like half of Asia.
Almost nobody. While I agree with your general sentiment, CRT displays are still being used in some professional settings. High end movie production will maintain some for color grading, for example.

As for "retro nerds", we are seeing a generation, who were last to use the CRT as kids, seek them now. They care, at least for a while. They want to pass their roots along to the next generation.

My own kids have asked about it, and I am gaming with my granddaughter on both a high end CRT and a very low hour consumer set that is just sweet for retro gaming. She is 6 and notices.

I also scored an awesome Disney VHS collection, that is basically the catalog plus a few notables, like Rugrats. Bright orange VHS tape, BTW. The reports are in!

She hates rewind. She likes all the noises and that the machine will take a tape and give it back to her when done playing. She did ask whether one says thank you.

Cute as all get out. I said her call, and she does thank it. "Thank you movie machine."

I happen to know a ton about TV's from the tube era, up through the 00's. Consumer circuits got really good near the end. The big difference was the CRT itself. One can connect a VGA tube to a consumer set and, for the most part, get a much higher resolution image. That was my first "PVM."

I agree with you on availability. The consumer grade sets are running strong. The reality is enjoying the pro grade gear is a real treat. The people modifying US sets to take RGB are going to put high quality within reach of many more people. And there are plenty of buyers.

A well aligned consumer set from the 00's will look great for gaming. In my opinion, the pro gear can deliver a bit better and or can handle signals from around the world. That's why I have mine. PAL viewing of games and movies is interesting and does explain a few differences in preferences I have seen between the EU and US.

It supports FileRun which isn't open source, so Plex may be an option.
I learned Elixir early on, and then had other tasks and languages I needed to devote my time to. So I haven't kept up with it. I remember though that learning Erlang first well (including how BEAM worked) was a huge help to me in learning Elixir. It lets you understand what is going on under the hood. That said, I've used the analogy of Elixir is to Erlang the way Java is to JVM byte code. That means you can master Elixir without ever coding Erlang, but I think you'll have a harder time of it.
You analyze tree rings to estimate growth. Yes, it’s confounded with temperature.

> did anyone actually use this?

Are you me? Lol. Sometimes I use software where I wonder "am I the only one that bought this and tried to use it?" I think part of the issue is that requirements get written by people who have no experience. They've never done the job the software will be used to augment and they don't know anything about software development. Then the requirements are used to outsource the actual design and development.

Using POS as an example (in a country with tipping culture). Imagine if a requirements document for the payment system said "must include an option to tip", but the design and development was done in a country where tipping culture isn't a thing. You'd likely end up with the "tip" option hidden away in a hard to reach place while everyone who uses the software knows it should be prominent and easy to use and could immediately tell you the design is poor.
The problem with new tech isn't just that it might not make sense. It's also that if it doesn't gain enough traction to reach critical mass, it might not be a good technical foundation for your business. As a business owner the question isn't just "can I solve the problems I face today using this?" it's also "will I be able to hire developers that know this 10 years from now?" and "will there continue to be an ecosystem of useful middleware for this?" For React, the answer is yes to all of those, and has been for a couple years now, but 5 years ago, the latter questions weren't really decided yet.
To be honest it is a confusing sentence. If it requires node js server then the answer should be no. Also, its confusing to me why it requires nodejs server ...
The fact that decorative lawns exist at all is indicative of water not being expensive enough.

Edit: By decorative, I mean the manicured lawns that are only for aesthetics that require tons of watering and sprinkler systems, and pesticides/insecticides/fertilizers.

Nations should lessen the penalties for white-hat and even grey-hat hackers who report their findings. They should have strong protections; they are helping all of society and national security. Instead, we have politicians and executives who make legal threats to cover their mistakes and everyone suffers for it. I have this view because I have personally walked away from security problems I've discovered simply by pressing F12, I don't want the legal hastles and costs.

Sadly, I think we're more likely to see pressing F12 become illegal, meanwhile society will lament that half the country's personal data is leaked on a weekly basis and ransomware runs rampant.
Nothing to pardon! Liberalism is the philosophy in which individual equality before the law and inalienable liberties are the top priority.

This can fit in well with democracy (e.g. Bill of Rights), but can also be absent in democracies (e.g. the majority being able to vote to kill you). Similarly, liberalism can influence governments of all types, codifying individual rights and laws which can limit the power (or at least the rights) of the government.

Computational thinking has applications beyond coding, it helps you learn to make logical decisions, and to break down problems into component parts, solving those parts in sequence. It also helps you think about how you yourself make decisions and take actions.

That said, a child can learn these things using Scratch or Logo, and it is better to learn these things at a much younger age than 13! For teenagers I would look at algorithmically-generated 3D models (for printing) and robotics.

Alright, I exaggerate. But when there's so many things that just don't work, and so few things that just work, then I think I'm justified to say "nothing".

Kind of like Yogi Bera says "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".
As much as I'd like to agree, no. It's rapidly declining quality of life. Class 1s and especially BNSF is notorious for hiring, training, and then laying people off for what can be years, or training them in desirable locales, and then offering them work in shitholes. Beyond that the union negotiations are at a standstill, BNSF hasn't offered meaningful pay increases for years, the contraction of the labor pools means more work and less time off. Precision rail has made every craft increasingly uncomfortable, from the Surface Transportation Board hearing, the deposition given by every union sure makes it sound like every branch of every railroad is running a skeleton crew. Word of mouth goes a long way, and back in the day you had to know somebody to get an in on the railroad. They can't even get full training classes these days they've sullied their reputation so badly.

But most people will take the $100k plus over weed. And even once you're hired, you don't instantly get terminated for pissing hot or even coming in intoxicated. They'll send you to rehab and put you on probation, and even if one violates that probation one doesn't necessarily get fired. Plus you can afford cocaine on the railroad budget, or meth, or heroin. Anything but weed.
1. This doesn't seem to have been done out of any natural conservation considerations, but rather electricity generation considerations. Not saying the latter isn't important, but it's still sad that that seems to still be the only considerations that matter.

2. This is literally a debt in clean water that will be repaid by generations to come, as the article mentions. What is being done to make sure it can be repaid? Not just the first year or so of water restrictions, but a sustainable plan to reduce consumption.

Overall this reads like they just kicked the can upstream, down the road.
Probably too late, honestly, but still worth trying.

Because the chips are so simple, I actually found the datasheets for Padauks to be sufficient. In particular, I don't think it's any more confusing than say STM32 or even NRF52 datasheets, mostly because the chips are so much easier and thus the datasheets are sooooo much shorter. Granted, I have not worked with 8-bit MCUs other than Padauks.

Their compiler/macro-assembler also seems to be working just fine, once you get past the UI from early 2000s. The error messages that must have been auto-translated from Traditional Chinese, but you squint a little bit and get the idea.
People are also leaving because the schedules they have to keep are unpredictable and horrible. My brother-in-law worked for a bit as an engineer, and as a person low on the totem pole, got bad assignments (all of the more senior people took the decent ones) and often didn't have a schedule until a day or two before the train was scheduled to leave. It hurt his social life substantially, because he couldn't plan on anything. Then COVID hit, and even though the company has hurting for people to run the trains, he was furloughed "until further notice" with no potential return date. Honestly, the companies are doing this to themselves with poor management.
Minor nitpick as an amateur green thumb, but depending on where you're talking about in southern California, coastal California is a Chaparral ecoregion [1], characterized by a high density of shrubs. A desert has lower plant density. It irks me when people in the Bay Area and LA go full desert xeriscape because a) the plants are not adapted for those environments b) animals are less adapted to those plants and c) the exposed sand does little to locally cool the area, unlike native plants

Of the water used in California, 80% is used by agriculture. Asking people to stop watering lawns is merely a way to appease the public by suggesting that everyone is doing as much as they can to ease a drought, and an attempt to shift responsibility to those horrible urban businesses with broken sprinklers. /s Meanwhile, almond growers in the Central Valley and alfalfa growers in the Imperial Valley are mining aquifers to grow crops.
When I was a child my parents had a purely mechanical scale, with a dial to adjust the zero.

Yet another case of why fix what isn't broken. Only, I expect that an IC or two and an lcd to run a digital scale are cheaper at volume than some amount of mechanical clockwork, once the cost of batteries is pushed off on to the consumer.
Because fundamentally Apple computers do not put you at the center of your computer, they put Apple there.

For example, on the new M1 computers, iOS apps stop functioning if SIP is disabled. Why? This is entirely artificial, because the iOS app model depends on you not being able to do whatever you want with the device you own. Contrast this with open source where this sort of restriction would just be patched away.
They've got a long way to go. Per wikipedia they have orders for 1383 planes but have only delivered 71. Compare that to Embraer which has already made 1621 E-Jets.
The thing is all of those assets are generally only owned by the top 5% (mostly top 1%) of the wealthy, so in reality, the Fed only serves the interests of the wealthy and everyone else gets screwed.
Overall morale is declining. Call it the Trump Effect. Having a leader who behaves like he did normalizes this behavior and immoral behavior becomes more commonplace since people feel its legitimized.

I'm far from being a liberal but that guy objectively didn't show manners, so why should the man on the street..
I grew up in the industry during the 90’s in the Bay Area. What we considered agile is nothing like agile of today. The process people wormed their way in and made it super dorky and prescriptive. As a leader now I only encourage agile in my most junior or dysfunctional team. In my high functioning teams I guide them towards the less prescriptive more “agile” method of my youth, which was very heavy in the emphasis of you almost certainly know what’s next so do it and call together a standup when you’re blocked. I’d note that more powerful than agile is the trend towards asynchronous work and planning. Keeping a chat as an asynchronous standup where you daily post your thoughts on work and respond to others is a huge boon and completely replaces “stand ups,” which only really work in fully collocated teams. Every company I’ve worked at had folks all over the world working together, and trying to do a traditional agile standup at a fixed time is brutal on at least someone.
I literally had a bank tell me my email was invalid today. It was 2 letters before the @, and I think that's why. I'll probably come up with a longer one that I like (I own the domain) later and try again, but it just felt incredibly lame for them to reject my email like that.
I just keep calling it Papyrus Black. A definite improvement though.

This is a decent book. The good thing about reading a book or two about sales is it will give you a little bit of confidence. Even if nothing beats getting out there and doing it, feeling like you sort of basically get it will drastically increase the chances you'll actually get out there...
You introduce a lot of complexity when you change the boundaries. Straight to microservices is almost always premature optimization. You'll know pretty quick when it is needed.
It makes everything more complicated.

Deployment is more complicated, changes can be more complicated, performance is more complicated. Its a great way of splitting up teams, but when you are a startup and have a single team for a long time, why would they do this?

> Just build services that are not too small, avoid dependency hell between services and never build platforms.

This is basically "code without bugs and you will be alright". Avoiding dependency hell is difficult, sizing up the services at the perfect size is also difficult as hell. Everything is a lot more difficult.

Microservices can be amazing, I'm not saying they aren't, but acting they are just better than monoliths is not seeing difficulties where there are many.

How much of what is currently being grown there would still be cost effective if they have to pay the cost of actually moving that water through the grid?

Almonds and alfalfa are the two that seems to come up the most often, but I'm not pretending to have done my own research.
> If code is kept organized, it can be split into microservices when/if the need arises.

You can still keep a client interface, but in the monolith impl you can just have it call code directly instead of transport data over a wire. Then, when/if you separate, the only code changes you need are the transport layer (not necessarily non-trivial, but it's just a single point of code that needs major overhaul).

I find usually when people say they are pro/against monolith/micro-services, they are using very overloaded terms.

When I hear "anti-microservice" my brain thinks "wow, this person is against code that separates concerns into their own logical buckets - they must love entangled messes of code that take months to make changes in" when usually they are thinking "I'm against severe premature optimization, and rolling out/maintaining orchestration for all 5 of my miniature services when I can really just build this out in a single repository that is able to maintain those concerns for me without duplicating work/effort."

Honestly we probably just shouldn't talk about being pro/against any of these patterns dogmatically, and really should talk about the specific issues present in each and when those are worthy trade-offs.
> because a phone needs very little signal

Isn't it because the microwave is shielded against a very specific frequency, that is much lower than the 5G one? So that the 5G frequency penetrates the shielding without much trouble?

(I'm really not sure, that's my initial guess, but the questions are not rhetorical.)
I have the same feeling about Calibri. When someone just picks whatever font came with MS Word/PowerPoint, it just makes me judge all the other decisions that they made in the project.

Maybe it's just me, but it genuinely disgusts me to see Calibri because it's not crispt and has some of the worst curvatures I've seen on a font.
