Yea. If it’s not a perfect solution, let’s do nothing!

Where have people outlawed these straws, and what is your source for it (if it happened) doing less than nothing?
Yes, yes, we're all very impressed with your techno-asceticism, but also some of us just want shit that Just Works, has a remote control that isn't just a wireless keyboard and mouse, and doesn't require us to actively sysadmin our TVs.

> Oh, you want to stream remotely from your home server? All you need is Apache and an IP Address.

Hey, you know what "Apache and an IP Address" won't do? Automatically re-encode my enormous remuxed Blu-ray rips at a lower bitrate so I can stream them over my comically limited upstream to a criminally throttled hotel wi-fi connection.
What do you mean?

The link I provided clearly shows that of white Evangelicals when asked specifically about the question of abortion in cases of rape, 40% said it should be legal, 34% said it should be illegal, and 24% said it depends. Are you referring to something else?

Also, white Evangelicals are VERY far from the majority, which means over 50%. They are at best the purality, with evangelical protestants of all races making up 25% of the US population. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-stu...

In fact, it looks like religious "nones" are growing so fast that the previous link is already out of date and they have already surpassed evangelicals to become the largest "religious" category (when you break down the larger Christian category). https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/12/14/about-three-...
I’m glad you touched on this topic.

I think this is the next opportunity for very large growth, but the ecosystem isn’t where it needs to be yet.
Creators can withhold comments until approved, so even 'new' is only showing the most recent approved comments.
Yeah. We got stimulus checks we didn't need. I think that was the right thing to do, though--they would have come out a lot later if they had to go through and try to figure out who needs them. Especially since both of us are self-employed, the IRS simply gets the quarterly estimated payments and nothing about what we are actually making until we file the tax return.

PPP was a fraudster's paradise, though. The idea was good, the implementation was not so good.

I've just sold my newest laptop as part of the sale of my business, which leaves me only:

- Dell XPS13 (16GB i7 but six years old) running Linux

- OneMix Yoga (7" micro laptop) running Linux

- Apple Mini (64GB i7) for music production

- Sony XA2+ phone running SailfishOS

- Blackberry Z30 phone as a backup

I will need to replace the Dell in the next year or so, and am considering both an M1 Macbook Pro and a Framework unless someone comes up with an open source ARM laptop running Linux.

The Mac has its own key commands for switching between windows. Cmd-Tab and Cmd-`.

It does not have a key command that is 100% identical in behavior to Alt-Tab.

That bugs some people, it seems.
If you go to their college free speech rankings page [0] most of the comments are about how conservative students don't feel comfortable on colleges and universities (private and public, to my slight surprise).

I can see how someone might make take that as conservative friendly since they are mostly featuring conservative students expressing fear about talking about conservative ideas.

I'm not making a judgement on any of that.

Ouch!

I always found Docker Desktop was a problem instead of a solution, that if I really wanted a Docker dev system to work, never mind "just work", the easy way was to build a complete Linux VM on your desktop machine, then ssh into that and run docker commands.
I can see NixOS doing similar things. It's all about declarative configuration.

Also very useful for embedded Linux distros, an A/B setup can help protect against update corruption due to power loss. If one of the two fails to boot, it can try the other, and retry the update.

Google Maps also has an unfortunate tendency to go route-flapping, telling me that first one route, then another, is better. Often these routes diverge quite some distance away, and the "best" route switches back and forth a lot. I am also assumed to opt in to each route change unless I click "No thanks" — even if I was previously offered the route and chose another one. I am not going to click No Thanks, because I'm riding a motorcycle, thanks; therefore I use Apple Maps.
I think we all know it's really 100%
Works fine until half your "apps" are actually browser windows, and exhausting trying to remember which key do you use based on which app you need to switch to.

Canada doesn't have much in the way of a "tech industry" because all the new grads who can move to the US for much higher pay and few unicorn companies (like shopify) stay here. Many of the offices in Canada are here for the purpose of hiring people from other countries who can't get through the US immigration system. Housing has become insanely expensive and people aren't getting paid enough to offset the high cost of housing. Meanwhile our government is importing low wage low skill workers via the temporary worker program for things like fast food restaurants because people don't make enough to get out of fast food while working at fast food, so they have trouble attracting workers.

The bottom line is canada is quickly becoming a place to import workers from cheaper countries to keep pay low while any Canadians who have the education and experience flee to the USA for higher wages.

I've seen it in my lifetime with non computer engineering disciplines. A structural engineer making 70k because it's easy to import them from other countries and it drives wages down. The last PEO survey I saw said something like 2/3rd of Canadian engineering grads are not finding work in their industry of choice at all.
Comes in both lotion and spray types. Seems like spray is more popular on the east coast for whatever reason. Almost exclusively sold as a lotion in Texas based on my personal subjective experience.
It's a weird balance where the OpenStreetMap.org website claims not to be meant for usability, but everything about it screams the opposite. A convenient search box, share button, all the stuff you'd expect, except then it doesn't work very well and it's even worse on mobile.

Officially, it's a tech demo to showcase what you can do with the data. Unofficially, crazies like me use it daily but need to fall back to other websites for various purposes:

- overpass-turbo.eu for data queries (showing all the tourism=viewpoint nodes in an area, or all the supermarkets, for example)

- OsmAnd for simpler queries like looking for a nearby bench while on the move (note that this also works fully offline, the only data it ever needs is for map file updates or if you want stuff like satellite imagery)

- OsmAnd for showing which of the fifteen bus stops across three areas my bus will actually be at. For example, this bus station has stop positions inside, outside, on the other side of the street with a traffic light to cross, around the corner... https://snipboard.io/DJUbVd.jpg It's madness, I walked up and down the whole area twice (took a while, missed my connection) before discovering the stop position around the corner, shown on the left on this screenshot. Had I just used OSM, it would have been clear where to go. Most transport apps don't show this, they just tell you to go and find H13 somewhere. Link to the bus line object shown in screenshot, btw: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1514901

- map.meurisse.org for distance measurement

- maps.openrouteservice.org for more complex routing, e.g. with waypoints or time estimation with a specific maximum speed

- when driving somewhere unfamiliar or with a tight deadline, I'll fall back to google maps which is the only source of accurate traffic info that I know of (in NL there are loops in the road which are open data, but idk if anyone built a site around it, and with the public transport network I don't drive there often anyway)

To your specific question, OsmAnd can actually do public transport routing effectively in various countries using the data in OSM which is absolutely mind blowing impressive to me. But at the same time, I'm not sure why they bothered because without time table info it's pretty useless.
On a Mac, you want to be able to switch the foreground application. This is what command-tab does, it switches the foreground application.
I've never moved to streaming; I still just load songs onto my phone. I don't feel like I'm really missing out on anything. I buy things on CD (often used) or vinyl-with-download-code or Bandcamp mostly.
Ahhh… okay I get it now. I’m a little slow sometimes :)

That’s a good example. So “Cmd - tab” brings all the windows of a particular app to the forefront, but shows the most recent, while the others are ‘buried’. Then requiring the “Cmd - `” to dig out the older ones.

Yeah it’s subtle, but I see the difference now, thanks for setting me straight!
That used to happen periodically at Marx's time. One such crisis was one of the factors that led to the first World War (but then, what wasn't?)
How long ago did these startups hit the limits of vertical scaling? Those limits are always increasing. Expensify's famous post from 2018 [1] suggests that it should be feasible for one monster machine to handle millions of concurrent users.

What are some of the things on the roadmap for the platform? Any immediate plans to close the command-line gap for TPU utilization, etc.?

My overall impression is TPUs are pretty awesome but the software stack is still a bit hard to use compared to mature GPU tools. I’d imagine it’s pretty hard for inexperienced users to use them.

They don't, definitely nowhere near the amount currently invested.
But in many areas (not everywhere) it's very good for hiking trails, thanks to lots of volunteer contributors.
> Assuming the network doesn't produce external value to the people transacting on it (for example, lower transaction fees than alternatives, lower cost to enforce contracts, lower spread trading equities or currencies etc).

The hypothetical value generated accrues to those who hold equity in the miners or network operators (stakers in a PoS system) - not the tokens themselves. If Starbucks pre-sold coffee as tokens, the fact that Starbucks is selling more or less coffee means nothing for the value of the token.

Disagree, there are a ton of differences, especially when it comes to fancier stuff like ncurses provides for example.

QT and Electron are the most capable cross platform tools for building UIs in my opinion. Both have their drawbacks of course, QT is a pain to work with and electron is famous for being not responsive enough for some users
Have been using this for a few years and the most amazing usecase is being able to switch between multiple chrome windows, just like windows used to let me do "same app, different window instances", with a preview!

The other thing that works well with this for a life upgrade on a mac is finicky (GitHub.com/johnste/finicky )
Can you explain what makes things worthwhile for you? I’ve taken a look at it but to me it looks like every other todo app out there. I don’t have any specific use case for a to do app other than a chockable list though.

What? That sounds like you're not using a real db.
Am I huge fan of i3wm, but have to use Windows for my job (which is not a tech job in any way). At a certain point I realized that Alt-Tab for switching and Meta-Left/Right for the half screen tiling is totally fine and pretty much all I need to get a sufficiently familiar flow. I still keep i3wm on my personal laptop because its a much smaller screen.

Been using multiple monitors with macOS for at least a couple decades at this point. I switch back and forth between macOS, Windows, and Linux regularly—so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on experiences from other OSs. My macOS setup is completely stock these days.

>The NRA is now basically a far-right Republican lobby group that is only incidentally about second amendment rights.

As someone who has extensively followed the missteps of the NRA under Wayne LaPierre… I don’t believe you understand what Far-Right is, nor the actual details of the NRA.

Allow me to give you a primer that isn’t built off of media fear mongering…

NRA is very much Establishment Right. That’s part of the problem. They wanted to snuggle with McConnell and Graham and hated Trump just as much as the afore mentioned do. The NRA wants status quo. Don’t actually do anything because we can’t campaign on that. Go to galas, make important calls and meetings in DC, have the company buy a house for you.

As both sides have abandoned compromise solutions, the NRA is still playing the 2A game as if it was bowling pin matches and skeet clubs.

Guess what though? The young people that make up modern gun owners have different concerns. The Hearing Protection Act and National Reciprocity should have gone through on Trump Day 1. But the NRA didn’t really care about either. Almost every gun owner in the county was pissed off when NRA didn’t storm the fucking gates when Philando Castile was killed by a twitchy cop. That was a fucking home run to prove gun ownership isn’t about skin color and they did absolutely nothing. GOA and SAF took an immediate stand despite many members and groups being police affiliated.

GOA and SAF have been building their ranks with young, motivated, and politically active members. The NRA Old Guard is dying of age, not by bullets real or political, by bloat.

Anyone that is anti-gun should not be celebrating the slow dissolve of the NRA. And likewise, if you (seriously!?) think the NRA is “Far Right” you really aren’t going to like the ambitious and motivated direction of the new guard. They’ll compromise when it makes sense, but real compromise, where you give something up for something they want.
You have to watch it a bit closer. He didn't ask for the problem to be explained in simple terms because he didn't understand what was going on. Instead he wanted to make sure his subordinates understood the problem and didn't try to hide their ignorance behind needless complexity. This is a strategy used by all of the most effective managers in the real world ("pretend that I'm stupid", "explain it to me like I'm five"). It was clear from the get go that he was the smartest person in the room in every scene he was in.

The movie also makes clear multiple times that the only people who were surprised by what was going on were the little guys – risk analysts and middle management. People at the top got the news and were simply like "ok guess it's finally happening".

If you ask around people who do this stuff for a living, all of them will tell you that out of the dozens of movies about the financial crisis, Margin Call was conceptually the closest one to how things actually work in the industry (obviously disregarding the Hollywood-esque dialog and characters).
+1 I have a habit of opening anything that might remotely poison my recommendations in right-click > Incognito. Youtube recommendations have always been annoying for me... constantly showing me things I've seen before, but generally I understand why it's recommending me things, and I understand the overlapping circles of topics and where the videos are coming from.

I also religiously use the three dot > Don't recommend video option on videos that are low quality, clickbait, etc. in my suggestions. Not sure what signal that sends to Youtube exactly, but those types of videos show up less and less in my recommendations. I call it weeding the garden.

You should really try the extension that brings the dislikes back.
I suspect we are largely in agreement. The example is not necessarily a good one, but I think we agree that the intent expressed by "foreach" is different from the intent expressed by "for ()", and while that difference might not matter, and might not be large, and might be carried equally by the context, it is real.

Going back to the original, there is a difference between "isEven(n)" and "0==n%2". Sometimes (and this is definitely true in some code I write) there is a conceptual difference between asking if something is even, versus asking if it leaves a remainder of 0 upon division by 2. Yes, they can be proven to be equivalent, but the underlying intent is different.

BTW, I agree entirely that in these cases it's really mostly pointless, but the principle carries over to larger examples. Trying to see that there is a difference is probably worth it, even if we agree that it doesn't really matter in these trivial cases.

Oh, and for a compiler I used to use it really did matter that you used "foreach" when you could, versus using "for ()", because it could dispatch things in parallel in the former case, and couldn't in the latter. So expressing the intent in the code itself and not just in the context really can matter.

So throw the baby out with the bathwater? Point 1 does work as shown by cities giving up and letting petty criminals run wild (see san francisco). Point 2: so no help for anyone? I'm not sure what you're even saying here because it's just naysaying and not really offering any potential solutions.
