>...I'm in my late 20s, just started my career proper as a developer. I got into a big tech position, leaving behind startups and the chaos of my early 20s, for now.

Congrats on starting your career. Something has motivated you to choose the present path, I bet it's nothing random and was rather thought out.

Having a good start at your present age is a big deal, not only this gives you confidence and security, but opens up future avenues to pursuit happiness - be it in relationships or enterpreneurship.

Doubts will stay no matter how successful people are in their past choices. Just give yourself time to work out your present stage - this is a product of your planning! At some point you will have your new look on yourself and your priorities. And just as before, you'll figure out another plan for the next path.

ESG reminds me of those awards that are basically pay to play.

Seems like you get a high ESG if you just check some boxes and play nice. Completely subjective/ridiculous metric.

They can delegate to agencies. The ruling isn't preventing them from doing that, it's just preventing the adjudication of penalties from being carried out by those agencies.

The SEC still gets to make the rules, they just don't also get to impose penalties on their own, without a jury trial.

This also happen to the Magellan probe. Larry Wall was at NASA at that time and added the hex and bit string format specifiers to the pack function in perl so they could fix and recover the data: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/24f4b7dabc8
It's still true. They probably render websites and run JS at comparable speeds, but everything in the UI is snappier with Chrome. It just feels like every interaction with Firefox has 50ms more delay than Chrome.

I am not familar with audio oriented solutions and it will be hard to precisely match all the audio features and price with electronics scope. But as reference point 200$ is the price point where you can get some of the proper lower end electronics oscilloscopes. Even for low end electronics scopes most of the specs will be orders of magnitude better (except 4 channels and some of the audio oriented features), also better screen and enough engineering budget to create proper case. Lower end 4 channel scopes will start at the 400$ range. You can get some of 4ch Hantek USB based scopes in the 200$ range, although no LCD and must be connected to a computer. Some of the DSO200 series from Miniware are in the 100$, only up to 2 channels and less audio oriented features but much nicer LCD and case. The firwmare for DSO200 is semi open source so it might be possible to make a version which is more optimized for audio usecase. Note some of the listings for DSO200 series mention 4ch but it's 2 analog + 2digital channels

At the end of day for people who will actually use it convenience probably beats other factors and having exactly right set of features, ability directly plug audio connectors, UI and software optimized for audio workflow can be preferable even if comparing raw specs and build quality to electronic tools makes it feels like a cheap DIY/kit or toy.
Originally, a short term answered all these questions.

Remember, Disney happened because the works of the Brothers Grimm fell into what was a robust body of creative works to build on.

Then Disney did not want to give in like kind as they received and we have seen extensions to copyright continue into what are now ridiculous lengths of time.

Originally, the reasoning was to create an incentive for creators to create. It was not intended to be rent seeking. Creators were expected to continue to create and have a body of robust works to create with.

Doing it that way advanced culture and made fortunes. We were all better for it.

Today, it is not so good for all of us. Culture is less rich, less vibrant.

And when I look at the likes of Disney, they own a lot, buying more all the time.

When exactly do they return the free gift worth so much so others may create more?

Fact is future Disney could buy those works same as they do today and find their own old works made new, valuable and worth more than returning them to the public may appear to cost.

As the other comment said, your Logitech g533 isn't bluetooth. It's using its own dongle and wireless transmission of lossless audio. No other wireless device will ever compete or try to pair with the dongle, so you can set and forget. Glad to hear you can pace happily during meetings!

In my case, I was using a Logitech bluetooth headset. When calls came in, I would need to switch the headset on, wait, hope it connects, hope Teams hadn't switched to default mic, and hope the battery was still good. I grew tired of the uncertainty and went back to a wired headset.
When I visited Morrowind in Elder Scrolls Online it just felt like a drab, sad place. Based on the screenshots in the article, it seems the original Morrowind game has a similar style for this area.

However, I read many good thing on the original Morrowind game so I do intend to play it some time.

The extension API for Firefox was simply the entire internal api of the browser. Making it work cross process (everything was single process) was a huge pain and things were going to break depending on how you used the APIs. And the security considerations of accessing every api was a big issue.

On the other hand, Firebug could not have been created without it…

This is a common server misconfiguration that clients can often work in spite of, due to certificate caching and explicit workarounds (AIA Fetching), and I sort of wish they wouldn't. I'm no expert so I'm sure people will tell me why this isn't workable, but it seems to me that if browsers were to actively require that a server provides any required intermediate certificates people would fix their servers, as they wouldn't work at all.

The fact that this doesn't even mention Freenode is hilarious, and so awkward. Whoever wrote this had to really go out of their way to construct a history that isn't technically wrong, but, if you didn't know that Libera got its start as a fork of Freenode that almost everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible, you'd never figure it out.
To me, the value lies beyond the hardware, which is likely just off the shelf parts.

The documentation looks really nice, and it’s extremely rare for a company to provide any printed material with their hardware, other than the multi language safety card. Many will just provide a basic how-to support page to get you along your merry way, but this looks superb, and a great way to get people learning. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bulk of development costs lie in that book.

The will also be providing firmware updates, patches and quality enhancements, which are likely to be much better than your open-source project in GitHub with a moderate client base.

There are only 15 cabinet secretaries, each if which heads an executive branch agency. If 15 such can manage and set priorities for such an agency, it should be much easier for 435 people to spread the load and oversee those agencies, including the relevant degree of delegation to agency or independent experts that might be appropriate to a particular issue

Sure.

But if you get almost all the way through watching an entire episode of Barry on your gateway and then it stutters, trust me-- you're going to loudly ask why the hell this gateway won't do the goddamned thing it's supposed to.
But what are the options when Google gets to dictate how Chrome and Microsoft Edge behaves.

That is 75% of the browser market, so Google could in theory define their standards and not care about other browsers.

The Ad-friendliness of Googles implementation of Manifest V3 is a clear example of how Google uses their influence.

Somehow the standards commission should have more to say about the process and implementations, i just don't see how.

And it all started out so nice.

For mental illness: The Buffalo shooter, in his Discord conversations, admitted to permanently considering suicide for days at a time. He called himself a communist and an eco-terrorist in his manifesto. The DC shooters were determined to not be mentally unwell.
I currently work in marketing. Before I started I had absolutely no idea how marketing worked, and had you asked me ten years ago I probably would have balked at the idea. The one thing I do enjoy, though, is learning. And this job has certainly been a learning experience. That's what I'm trying to get out of my work - lessons I can apply wherever I find myself.

Given that you enjoy helping others and helping people grow, have you considered a management position? I've been very lucky to have good managers who care about their reports and want to help them. That sort of attitude in a manager is really valuable.

Do you think there's a chance that Chrome will delay their timetable? My company's extensions are affected by this, and it's a total nightmare. I can't believe Chrome is forcing us off v2 before v3 is ready for primetime.

What's really frustrating is that users don't realize how much work goes into just keeping your head above water in the Chrome Webstore. They think that they shouldn't have to pay (or pay much) for an extension because it seems so simple. But they don't understand that complying with Google's ever-shifting rules means you can't ever get that comfortable.
It says Google earned $2bn in 2021 in Russia, but I'd guess (like any good overseas company) they've been keeping the local operations pretty cash-lean and probably have more debtors than cash to be taken, right? Very sad for local employees though. What's everyone else's read?
Lisp machines were mostly just a single type of computer: a graphical workstation for Lisp developers. Those were mostly in R&D, typically in AI - largely financed by DARPA and similar, hoping for the AI software providing leadership in tech and military. The market for their software&hardware was on the leading edge, which later was taken from offerings growing on cheaper platforms.

They had one/two operating system to fork others from: single user, no terminal story, no security, needing large amounts of memory, needing specific expensive hardware (graphics, disks, custom boards, ...), not easy to port, needed complex (and hard to debug) memory management, scarce number of Lisp system programmers accumulated in a small number of companies, no public source story, ...

Many open source operating systems are copies or forks. There was not much original research. Writing a new operating system (say, a portable Lisp OS with device drivers, multi-user capabilities, security, terminal and GUI usage) would have needed a lot of work and there are not enough combined Lisp AND systems programmers to do that - educating them takes a lot of money.

Even today, the state of the 70s/80s Lisp OS hasn't been reached again: there is no comparable operating system written in Lisp and the old ones exist only as emulators of the past.

The tech base of the early Lisp system was too focused, there was no room to mutate and grow to different platforms in different incarnations. There were attempts (like embedded Lisp hard- & software) but that had no effect in the market.

UNIX was developed for a completely different market: simpler base software, very portable, multi-user, client&server, modular programs, terminal, ... a bunch of companies used UNIX as a base for their workstation offerings (SUN, SGI, HP, IBM, NeXT, ...) - the rest is history.

But Lisp OS like software on the UNIX systems was working well in the 80s and early 90s. They still needed large amount of RAM, large amount of virtual memory, responsive GUIs, advanced GC support, ... some high-end machines could offer that and they fixed enough OS bugs to run large Lisp systems. Every larger UNIX vendor had some Lisp story as part of their general offerings.

Frankly, I have never thought it made sense.

I find it easier to think of reality as a constant thing. It just is, always has been, always will be.

In that context a cyclic universe makes the most sense. It is all one big, really big wave function playing out as time and space, the likes of us just noise in the machine.

The physical laws to the best of our understanding, if a closer to inclusive, complete understanding can even be had, describe this wave function.

And that's it.
The text could actually mention Freenode because this wasn't really a "start from scratch" as stated:

That’s the claim. The article doesn’t state whether the boy actually has these problems and, if so, whether they were (conclusively) caused by the AirPods (my guesses would be “yes” and “wouldn’t dare say”)

The only mention I could find about music causing it is https://betterhearingofaustin.com/can-loud-noise-rupture-you... which stages “A sudden very loud noise can cause an eardrum to tear or rupture. The noise intensity to rupture an eardrum would have to be very loud, usually 165 decibels or more. This would correspond to the sound intensity of a gunshot at close range, fireworks or extremely loud music.”

165dB is extremely loud.
Blink on Android maps CSS pixels to Android's DP (density-independent pixel) unit, which is derived from a device's "density bucket", which traditionally has been defined by some multiple of 160ppi in .5x increments. There are some oddball values out there (e.g. the "tvdpi" bucket for Android TV apps), but you'll usually see the .5 multiple on phone-sized screens.
Naive response here, but that particular use case seems solved by a central authority, where the school is the entity that (1) cares the most and (2) should other students or decentralised entities be involved in observing student progress?
The way to fix public transport is to make rich people want it.

I think the selling point might be heavier commuter rail, something like the network in Chicago. Make it a bit more luxurious feeling and give it a modern image, but the speed is probably not the issue.

Sell the dream of living by a walkable suburb an hour out of downtown. You can get on the train at 7:45AM, unfold your laptop, and by the time you've arrived, you've already done all the first-of-the-day paperwork and are relaxed and ready for the actual productive day. Come 5PM, you can just unwind in the coach, rather than devote your remaining energy for the day to steering a two-tonne death machine.

No worries about a breakdown blocking the freeway, a road-rage incident ruining your day, or being blocked by a snow-in.
Then you start adding commute and preparation and it's never 1-1.5 hours, it's 2-2.5.

Then you start taking into account that you hate physical exercise (I've tried group sport, gym, running, swimming, walking etc...) and you start treating it like a job and instead of being relaxing is another chore. So not only I'm doing something just for maintenance, but it feels like work (in my case, it is work) and while I'm sweating at the gym I'm not doing something I'm really interested in and after the supposedly beneficial exercise my mental energy is too depleted to do the things I really want to do.

I'm never been more miserable than when I exercise regularly: "nothing" you say, uh?
Do we have any reliable info on how freenode is even doing today? At least some accurate user counts? Who is using it? When the Exodus started, it seemed to turn into some right wing cesspool, but that was also more hearsay iirc.

I don't think servers should be breaking working websites just to be pedantic if they can already work around these issues.

They should definitely put warnings about these kinds of faults in the dev console, though. I don't think developers that don't get their certs in order will even bother with opening the dev tools on their website, but it's the best place I can think of.

Google and other partnering websites also have a position to prevent these failures. Many websites decide to include Google's stalking scripts and it should be trivial for Google to put scan the domains these scripts run on and warn the website administrators about their bad configuration.

This poses a problem for split horizon intranet websites, but in those cases you'll probably never run into the issue due to the weird setup anyway.
This just demonstrates how silly ESG really is. Could really care less if a company has an active PR effort. Who even says that's a good thing? Can't count the number of tone deaf press releases that just make the company look stupid.
> I don't think you can definitively say that remote work is better for the environment given all of the other variables.

If those are your rebuttals, they certainly aren't sufficient: first, people choosing to use X/Y form of energy to make their meals is a personal choice and likely done based on an optimal time preference: most people I know in tech don't even cook, they order out 90% of the time and only have cereal or basic lunch stuff in their homes.

Second, cooling/heating could be done in any number of ways for all I know most Apple workers have solar panels, it's unlikely but it is a possibility, or they might not even use either since the Mountain View has rather temperate weather either way.

If you are relying on me to concede that remote work is better for the environment based on such vapid criteria, you are sadly mistaken: the kitchens in most places have walk-ins and blast freezers that run 24/7, ovens and and ranges that are at full blast etc... in anticipation of cooking those meals for all of those employees.

I can assure from personal experience you their is nothing efficient about running a commercial sized kitchen, and everything is always breaking and requires constant maintenance.

Just offsetting the commutes from all over the NorCal would be reduction in GHG that it's worth keeping, their is no real need for it if efficiency has not been lost.

This is an outdated, pre-1970s view of renomralization. Thanks to work of Wilson (1982 Nobel prize) and others on the renormalization group, we have a much better understanding.

Au contraire, mon ami! This _is_ my life. I am the epitome of "stay true to yourself."

To add here: for a local minimum to occur all those dimensions (or features) need to increase. This is highly unlikely for modern NNs where you have millions of dimensions. If one of the dimensions is going down but the rest up, you have a saddle point. Since you go down only one (or few) dimensions it takes longer.
I enjoyed reading The Verge by P. Wyman https://www.amazon.com/Verge-Reformation-Renaissance-Forty-Y...

It describes changes that happened in war, mining, shipping, trade in (mostly western) Europe in the last decades of XV century. The common theme is finance and it includes a chapter on how bank houses became bigger and could secure much bigger loans (which allowed bigger states to wage wars, or rich individuals to bid for top titles ;)).

Fun read.
