Well I just do it by putting the laptop on my chest and using an external keyboard that also contains one of those touchpad mice like laptops have. Works like a charm and costs way less time / effort. The chest gets a little sore if you use it for too long or too many days in a row, so lately I've been thinking maybe I need to elevate the laptop off my chest a little with a C-shaped table of sorts that the laptop can sit on can sit it on. I get into flow so easily working in such a setup, and wish I could do it more often. I'm considering investing more in my work from bed setup.

Designing Malloy 1 – The Syntactic Shell
I'm not sure -- if the gate is closed, the chambers are perfectly insulated, and we aren't erasing bits from the memory of the demon, the system should be at equilibrium, right? So, I think it is not really a situation like he describes in the quote. The demon could hypothetically have whatever large amount of information storage is required, to meet his threshold for "large masses."

This quote seems more compelling in cases where the statistics are known, but and we just need to have enough samples, such that the expected values, etc, show themselves.

The message is clear - you are the product and Google is finding you too expensive. Pay up or move out.

We are all aware of how Google treats products they sunset. We are aware how they want to raise their subscription rates and services.

I would say besides Fastmail and other email providers, take a look at Microsoft w/ O365. Yes it's pricy, but it offers a full office suite and can be as low as $60/yr for a business premium plan.
You're looking at if from the perspective of "how can I make this thing work?", which is backwards.

In a doomsday scenario, I think it's almost certain you will not need a general purpose computer, and such a thing will be an albatross. You will need be mobile to find food and safe shelter. You will not need to hack the Vault-Tec mainframe to download a map to lightly-guarded supply depots. You will not have the luxury of trying to construct a power generator for a new settlement.

Thank you, very helpful answer. I was not trying to be antagonistic, I had never heard a critique of calendly and wanted to understand how an open source project would improve the situation. I agree, very important to understand how your data is used.
It was a cell phone number that was ported to Google Voice, so technically it is now a VoIP number. I'm aware they don't allow those, but they also have no workaround for people whose only number is virtual, like mine (other than suggesting I use my "roommate's" phone). They need to have a workaround, but they don't seem to care about people who don't have actual cell phone numbers.
>what is so palpably evil about the latter?

"Legal" doesn't necessarily imply "ethical" -- interracial and homosexual relationships come to mind, both of which were illegal within recent memory. Thus, it's not enough that megacorps seeking tax havens "follow the law" when they have such resources as to ensure the law comports to their desires. It seems "proportionate" to want those with disproportionate power to have a little less...

>Also, surely most giant corporations are not legally in the Cayman islands, but Delaware, right?

Ugland House [0] is the building I'm describing. Despite being five stories tall, it's the registered office address for 40,000 US firms. You're certainly not wrong to invoke Delaware, whose Corporation Trust Center [1], a "suburban law firm"-looking building of modest size, sports seven times the number of fake corporate headquarters as does Ugland House. I'm given to understand that there are various benefits to the Caymans' regulatory environment, and those that don't have to be on US soil tend to prefer it.

> Everyone then has max kids according to the "1 fewer than mother" rule.

1 fewer is not the rule.

The rule is "every woman has to have fewer children than her mother"

There will be some whose mother had 10 then the daughter had 1. This narrative implies that every woman is having as many kids as possible all the time, which is both unrealistic and misleading by statistics. With a narrative sample size of one, the story is indicating that the number of people inevitably increased because of the rule rather than explaining this is an edge case paradox.

I am reminded of panchromatic film. The light sensitivity of silver salts on their own doesn't mimic the human eye, with the peak around the violet and extending into the ultraviolet, with lessened sensitivity in the red, down into the infrared. The result [1] (note the UK flag) is unlike what the eye sees. Panchromatic film adds sensitizer dyes similar to in colour film, to boost red response. All non-specialist B&W films are panchromatic. IR and UV filters might be necessary, too. Colour accuracy is important even in B&W photography.

Consensus isn't required. Heel striking is provably detrimental to human physiology.

Big thick extended heels are designed today to lever the foot into position and place heel & toe on the ground concurrently, reducing impact at the heel.

Spending an entire lifetime walking with augmented feet means that people do not use their stride correctly or efficiently in the the manner it has been evolved to operate.

There is little argument about these facts outside of the realms of marketing and sales from shoe suppliers. You can't very well advocate for your product if you admit that it mostly acts as a crutch for poor form

It also doesn’t seem like it’s a 25% bump in total comp.

> Microsoft plans to “nearly double” its budget for employee salary increases and boost the range of stock compensation it gives some workers by at least 25%, an effort to retain staff and help people cope with inflation.

Sounds like the cash salary bump is a bit less than twice normal amounts (so likely ~10% instead of 5%).

Separately, the stock grants for some employees will be bumped by ~25%.

Well at this point, The Verge should be regarded as a very questionable source similar to that of the Daily Mail since the quality of its article(s) especially the ones locked without comments have somewhat degraded.

As for this article, In reality nothing has changed. This is what the shooter actually wants. For the foolish media to keep talking about him and find someone to blame rather than prevent it.

Instead, they continue to use the actions of this village idiot for their own media outrage clicks and spin to find a villain of the month to blame. Somehow that 'villain of the month' is Musk.

Actually I was thinking the opposite, assuming you are referring to VR generally and not whatever BS zucburg is on about... I've bought a quest, and I'm really not the type for new and shiny things, but it's made me feel less bad about playing the occasional computer game because it really makes you move around - vr lying down is only good for watching movies, that's about it.

In short, VR is like the standing desk for video games, but probably even better for health.

Disclaimer: I have not deeply investigated these papers.
I've worked lying down in a similar fashion for over 10 years.

You really don't need the contraption, just a monitor stand (you can make one out of two bits of wood) or a nearby wall. Also a wireless keyboard (I use the Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard). I used to just use a laptop and when I travel I still do. In both cases I either rest them on my chest or (more often) suspend them in front of me and control them with my fingers and palms.

I'm healthy physically, I just prefer this. I swim, jog, cycle, do weights (I can lift my own body weight (120kgs, 6'1") with my arms vertically and horizontally, pushing and pulling).

The idea you get body sores or other negative effects is ridiculous. You need a good firm surface to look after your back posture, but obviously I'm always moving around, getting up and doing things. I don't wash myself with a rag on a stick.
Authoritative first but it is also recursive if you specify a parent.

Query logging can be easily implemented.

I don't expect to ever make this as full featured as BIND. Then again, this also was true of Glauth, and correctness-as-a-goal ends up forcing us to roll lots of functionality in the software.
Yeah, this attack works in theory but is so complicated to set up and execute that a random thief is always going to go for one of the easier options, like picking your pocket or smashing a window.

On the other hand if you are a high value target and some person/organization/government has the incentive to target you in this way, you better have adequate protection.
Good idea. Yes.
Ditto. Every time I try to prep a cut design with Inkscape, I get mired up the distinction (internally) or lack thereof (visually) between lines, paths, objects, strokes, and whatever other internal representations may exist.

Some of these things render fine on the display, and cut just fine with the inkcut extension. Some render but do not cut. Some things get cut multiple times, which causes the knife to overpenetrate and destroy the backing. And for years of attempts, I can't seem to understand the distinction, or how to discern what my drawing actually consists of.

Inkscape must be good for something; a lot of people seem to care about it. And it looks pretty neat. But either I'm missing a fundamental concept, or it's just not good for what I want to do with it.
It seems like a reasonable question to me. Elon has his ideas of how he wants to moderate Twitter. Things like this happen (sadly). How does he intend to moderate them?

He has been talking an awful lot about what he thinks. And then as soon as this happens he stops talking. That says something. He could have easily said “stuff like that won’t be allowed“. And there would be no story.

> The market is rapidly shifting and I'm just not sure how FOSS is going to stay relevant in this space.

How realistic is it to expect FOSS tools to directly compete head-to-head with these incredibly well-funded privately owned tools? The whole point of these companies is to solve the "hard" problems in order to gain a functional and competitive advantage in the market. FOSS OTOH deals with table scraps in terms of funding and technical talent. And let's face it, who are some of the biggest contributors to open source? These very same companies. They're happy to help keep the specific libs that matter to them up to date, but they're certainly not going to give away the entire product for free.

> Offline desktop tools have rapidly started to become obsolete. Products like Office had to scramble to pivot because Google Docs was replacing them. Its been a while now since I have been emailed an actual office file instead of being sent a link to the live version.

Just because the market moves in a particular direction doesn't mean it's the right decision for end users, all it means is that it's the right decision for the business. Take the mobile phone manufacturers removing the headphone jack. No customers asked for that, it was purely a move to drive sales of bluetooth peripherals.

There may come a time when running software locally becomes in-vogue again, who knows? It's companies that get to dictate the platforms because they own them. And as others have pointed out, it's not like these online collab tools aren't without their own issues. I guess I just don't understand why people think that FOSS can deliver polished end-user products on the scale that companies do.
Good stuff. I may make use of the .ini parser as my current one doesn't handle sections.

These include more exotic stuff like a grid based field-of-view calculation and a version of the sfxr synthesizer.

I can't find the option. If I go to the google admin console and click (?) I don't have 'Contact Support' because I don't have an expensive enough Google Workspaces subscription. Is there a way to switch back to legacy free from the Workspace Essentials, or do I need to upgrade to an expensive subscription so I can open a case so I can switch back to the free plan?
But if the likelihood of FSD causing an accident is N%, but the likelihood of a human error (alcohol or otherwise) is M%, I would always choose the better bet.

I realize the error situations may differ drastically but if the final numbers are in favor of the computer, it's worth betting on. IMO.
Yah, I totally agree. As I said, I’m willing to pay. I’ll even pay $100 a year. Shoot, $150 if you want to include some cloud storage I won’t touch because I hate how Google Drive works. But $25-$30 a month, is just obscene for this sort of thing. Because I’m not a business. I’m an individual who would like my own domain name, the same way I’ve been using my own domain names since I was 14 years old.

If in 2007 or 2008, Google had positioned this as a business product (and they didn’t. It was literally called Google Apps For Your Domain, promoted as a free service, and people were told to sign up their families or use it for their websites to get all the benefits of Gmail (which was and remains free) but on your own domain), that would be one thing. If in 2012 when they made it a legacy service, they’d told us, you can continue to pay but it’ll be “$X per domain and you won’t get any of these extra business features,” that would have been fine.

If in February or March or whenever this was announced, they had said, “if you want to convert this to a personal Gmail account that has aliasing setup” or you want to again, pay per domain (not per account) and not get certain Workspace features and zero support, that would have been fine.

Instead, we were told a bunch of conflicting things, we were encouraged to upgrade to accounts we didn’t need or to migrate to other providers, or those of us procrastinators (me) held out some hope we’d get a solution like we got. And I’m genuinely thankful for that decision.

But I still agree that there is a market — maybe not a huge one, but a market, for hosted email on a custom domain aimed at individuals and families that doesn’t charge per address.

I’m sure you would risk cannibalizing some business sales for people who would want to be cheap and claim to be a family, but businesses too cheap to pay for email accounts usually just use regular gmail accounts anyway. And with the right restrictions (on number of accounts and of message volume sent), I think you could still have a profitable endeavor. At least I’d like to think so.

Alas.

(another artist who's been posting art online for the last 15 years)

deviantart is/has been dying but for ~20 years was the best place that I can think of that actually served all of the points you listed in a realistic manner. artstation was sort-of built to be a successor in some ways but caters almost exclusively to AAA video game artists and has a vibe I dislike.

my current working method is a personal site with RSS-enabled logs + a few invite-only discord servers with friends to hear feedback and share work in progress pictures. It works for me but I'm a very introverted soul and also deliberately run away from the commercialization of art.

personally I think it all went to hell when people started latching onto the idea of "content creator" as a cash-flow identity. your mileage may vary though.

> "how can I browse an offline copy of Wikipedia."

I would like a source (1) low power, E-ink book readers with (2) an SD card slot that can handle large cards, and ideally (3) open to hacking.

This is a very small set, possibly zero. All of the android readers are ruled out because it's power overkill just to get bits off a card to flip an e-ink screen and then go back to zero power for days or weeks. There used to be some readers with SD slots but those are often limited to 32 gig. And I want (3) in case the reader doesn't handle the formats I want.

Such a machine /would/ be an offline, after civilization goes away machine. You'd want wikipedia, emergency medical handbook, plant identification books, etc etc.
Stores typically stock recently manufactured products. Once the manufacturer discontinues a model and inventory is gone, that's a wrap. Sometimes the product was good and gets replaced by an inferior one (in the spirit of old burger king vs new post-acqusition burger king), other times it's just small tech refresh tweaks, and everything in between.

A real litter of inconsistency between unrelated external organizations and varying markets and skill sets.

> Once consensus is reached on what is in B1 it doesn't matter anymore if someone comes around with a different idea what should be in B1.

So, when a new node comes online, and some of the existing nodes say that they've agreed on B1 and B2, and some other nodes say that they've agreed on B1' and B2', how does that new node decide which is the consensus? [0] With PoW, the decision criterion is easy: the longest chain rule (LCR) [1]. In your system, what's the rule?

[0] This is trivial with a central authority. But remember, here we have an open public blockchain, where anyone can join as a node, and they might be malicious.

[1] And as long as there are competing chains of equal length, just pick one randomly. That procedure, rather than picking the first one encountered, improves resistance to the selfish mining attack, IIRC

There are a lot of scenarios that involve power and perhaps internet outages but aren't the end of mankind. Volcanoes, earthquakes, war-related disruption, (worse) viruses.

Power is something you can do yourself. We have a cabin with 5 x solar panels and a 3kw inverter for example. Others may just have a deep cycle battery connected to a trickle charger. It's quite likely that there may be power outages but you still have 3g/4g internet connectivity.

3 and 5 are good points. I thought terminal blocks as well.
I've tried all the setups at this point, including the supine one. It has plenty to recommend it in a limited, mostly consumptive role; many people sleep a whole eight hours in roughly that position. It does tend to get in the way of typing although a fully split keyboard can address that.

But my everyday work is now done at a floor table. This posture brings a different level of activation energy, and it lets me keep moving around which is a clear advantage over most. It can present some of the same stresses as chair seating but it has more opportunities to relax. And unlike the standing or treadmill desks it easily works on a budget too - tape up a cardboard box and weigh it down and you have a temporary desk setup that will support most equipment. For a better surface with a finish and leg room, Ikea provides options, or you can get more specialized folding floor desks with angle adjustments and drawers off of Amazon.
