> and quite possibly even racist

And I'm out.

Does racism exist? Of course.

Is everything everywhere always racism? Of course not.
It's hard for me to even know if Netflix has anything I'd like to watch these days. They've stripped back the browsing features so far, it's hard filter through all the trash, and I wind up just giving up.
TN is a constitutional carry state now.

Even so I recommend getting a permit because carrying a lethal weapon is an awesome responsibility and needs to be treated with respect. The classes teach much useful knowledge.
I personally ride without a helmet because the added weight and reduction invisibility reduces my awareness.

That said, id never force someone else to eschew wearing a helmet. You have zero guarantee that what applies for one person applies to another rider in this context
> Cash and gold are not the risk free rate

In finance jargon, “cash” is typically taken to mean “cash and cash equivalents,” i.e. money market assets.

I love these open air style designs. It's reminds me of Yuel Beast's Motif Monument too. https://yuelbeast.com/motif-monument
We already do. Crash safety standards, seatbelts, and mandatory air bags dramatically decrease injury and death in crashes, and numerous other safety mandates reduce the chance of a crash in the first place.

My problem with this is that you are asking us for free review of a tool that you claim is MIT, while you are actually keeping the source closed.

Surely you can see the problem with that.

You are also vastly misrepresenting the contents of your ToS here, which actually contain a binding arbitration clause and this unbelievable gem: "you agree not to [...] disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the SERVICE"
Relevant point. I agree that the current correction is a reflection of the market’s expectations/predictions. But only for the medium term. The market has no idea what the interest rate will look like in 10 years — which is at least how long it’s going to take if it ever gets to 15-20%. There are simply too many unknowns to predict that.
I can only focus so long on it though.
That may be true, although it doesn't really address the parent commentor's line of argument: in environments where few (if any) people are allowed to have guns, concealed carry isn't necessary, and gun crime is rare.
> Selflessness is overrated. We respectable types, although women especially, are raised to think a life well spent means helping others – and plenty of self-help gurus stand ready to affirm that kindness, generosity and volunteering are the route to happiness. There’s truth here, but it generally gets tangled up with deep-seated) issues of guilt and self-esteem. (Meanwhile, of course, the people who boast all day on Twitter about their charity work or political awareness aren’t being selfless at all; they are burnishing their egos.)

> If you’re prone to thinking you should be helping more, that’s probably a sign that you could afford to direct more energy to your idiosyncratic ambitions and enthusiasms

This also applies to free software! Do things for your own selfish desires!
Last week, I was asked if I have ever written about my work. The answer was no: I'm not much into social media or self promotion, because everything was written for myself and my selfish needs first.

I genuinely don't care if people like what I do: If they do, good, they can leech and use my work, if they don't... That's good too! I don't care much more than that, as there are many fun things to try hacking (right now getting i915 to work on a lakefield) and time is in limited supply :)
For the TODO list, I can share one frame of mind that I use.

I have a "now", "soon", and "later" section in my TODO list.

"Now" grows and shrinks, but never gets out of control. Things sometimes move from "now" to "soon" or "later." I am constantly working off of this list.

The "soon" section varies. Often, things get pulled into "now", when they become time sensitive. Some things stick around long enough and it becomes clear they don't need to get done soon, despite of what I thought. These move to the "later" list.

The "later" list is interesting. Most of the time time, I don't touch these things. But occasionally, I look through it, and realize I am in the mood to do one of them, and then I work on it. Or the circumstances align and the situation is just perfect to get one of those items done. Occasionally, I go through it, and find things on there that are no longer relevant, and I remove them. For other things, I put them into various "fanciful idea" lists which are noncommittal, don't weigh me down, and could serve as inspiration if a need arises.
I'm not sure this is true. I recall from listening to the Blowback podcast that Castro initially tried to align with the US, and there was disagreement among US leaders about whether he was friend or foe. But we had a bunch of people in Florida, among them the dictator he ousted, offering to try and kill him, so we just went with that.
> This communicative property of art is irreducible to its extrinsic properties (like color, form, etc), and instead concerns the significance of the artwork to the artist and their communication of that significance to the viewer. To steal some terminology from analytic philosophy, let us call these latter properties the “intrinsic” properties of art to separate them from the merely extrinsic properties of art.

While I agree that there is a fundamental difference in meaning between human and AI art, and also about how dismal the prospect of a world in which most art we enjoy is AI-generated, I feel the author is cheating a bit by ignoring half of the “intrinsic” properties.

That is, art is also about (to me, mainly about) the experience it produces in the viewer. This intrinsic property is not affected by whether the author is AI, or even a natural process. Though I agree it would be unusual to call the Niagara Falls 'art'.
I wonder if the effectiveness of bionic reading would be improved by using a gradient of weights for each character - instead of just bolding the first half of the word, as this extension does.

For example, Open Sans has six levels of weight: light, regular, medium, semi-bold, bold, and extra bold:

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans
The files I need to track cannot be confined to a single directory. Some of them will coexist with source code files.

Will look into source maps, but the principle applies to all aspects of literate programming. When editing a source block, linter tools go crazy because they see me use variables that to them appear to not have been assigned to (they were assigned to in other source code blocks).
True, but it's been a long road to opening up that specialized hardware. OpenWRT continues to plug away on Microtik gear, https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/start and OpenBSD supports a few MIPS-based octeon devices, https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html

At the high end, Microsoft/LF SONiC + OCP merchant switch silicon has provided an open networking platform for 25GbE+ data center networking.
It is sad and not what you see on TV. Crime isn't as bad as it was in the 70s - early 90s (yet), but in many ways the city is worse. As dangerous as the city was back then, at least it had character. The city got massively safer and "cleaned up" during the Giuliani era, but it also started a process of gentrification and corporatization. This only accelerated during Bloomberg's reign. Many independent businesses closed and were replaced by Starbucks, Trader Joe's and Bed Bath and Beyond. Many iconic bars, taverns and concert halls closed and were replaced by TGI Friday's. Back then, the crime was sort of rolled into the character of the seedy underbelly of the city that gave it a certain charm. Now the underbelly has been mostly stamped out but the crime is returning. Too many years of mismanagement and corruption have taken their toll.
Yeah, you can read that statistic more than one way. For example, my reaction was that you should move to an area with lots of permits, because the robbers are clearly working over the low-permit neighbourhoods.

I mean, if you're going to rob someone, it's often better if they're not armed.

[Edit] I forgot about the "good and bad neighbourhood" thing that is present in some US cities. I mean, all cities everywhere have rough neighbourhoods or estates; but I was shocked when I first arrived as a guest, to be advised: "Don't cross the road at the end of the block, that's a bad neighbourhood".

I wonder how permit levels correlate with the "good/bad" ranking of a neigbourhood.
At least in the EU/UK it is required by law to recycle 95% of a car: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/95207/car-recycling-h...

A problem with plastics is that it is hard to create high quality plastics from recycled materials. And there is only a limited demand for park benches made from low quality recycled plastics.

This is different with metals where you can "just" melt everything and separate the metals. This is probably less expensive than mining the materials in the first place where the ore contains a much lower share of the metals. Also a car contains a few hundred kilograms of recyclable materials and there is a very limited number of different models. So there is an economic incentive.
Nothing that Bitcoin can fix.

Around that time Hunter S. Thompson was writing for a magazine and had just attended an oil industry conference where the attendees were terrified that the United States was about to experience an "oil peak" for domestic production.

His editor killed the story because it seemed too alarmist.

It's an a priori fact that it can't have the same kind of corruption because that kind of corruption requires representatives who have terms and who can't be recalled, and it does not have either. If you think that it can have the corrupt politician problem, then you haven't understood it.

Everywhere it's used is an instance of broader interests being taken into account, by definition.

Sure. If you run an https proxy that allows CONNECT, that can tunnel ssh, but if you do GET without a fully qualified url, that can serve whatever according to the host header. If you just wanted to tunnel ssh over tls, it's trickier because ssh is server speaks first and http is client speaks first, so as a server, you'd have to guess if your client wants one or the other.
Possibly stupid question, but how do people do Wifi with these the wired-only routers? Just buy a normal full-featured Wifi router and let it do its routing, or can you get some dumb AP-only and offload all the routing on the more powerful wired box?

While I think this is a really cool product with incredible art assets, I just can't see myself paying $4 monthly (or $100 once) for a number of looping videos, a spotify playlist, customizable audio effects, and a few productivity tools, most of which could be stored in the user's browser, and most of which have better, free alternatives.

As a user I'd probably feel more comfortable handing over closer to $1/mo, but of course that's very subjective and this may be worth more/less to different people.

The art is really awesome though, but the amount I find myself actually looking away from my task at hand to enjoy it just isn't enough for it to be worth another subscription. I'm not sure what the big costs are for a site like this, but I imagine something like Cloudflare could kill video/asset delivery costs, having users connect their own music accounts (or just use Youtube for curation) could kill any music costs, but that's about it.
No, they don't. At a global scale, land is enormously available. So are the materials from which renewable energy sources can be built. Are you worried about running out of silicon, iron, or aluminum? If so, stop being silly. Focusing on these is just to ignore the physical realities of what's available to work with.
Like most things, it's a double edged sword. I haven't worked with world-class developers so most of my experience is dealing with people who would benefit immensely from any linguistic practice.

If you think someone comes up with bad names, wait till they have to write a few sentences, or paragraphs.
I finally started using ReSharper for the first time and was blown away by the suggested refactorings/changes. I had no idea some of this stuff was even possible in C# -- and then more astonished to learn it had been there since 2012.
> What do you suppose happened to the rest of skateboarding that pushed it in the opposite direction?

Widdershin's response is excellent, but I'll add a bit more context: the physical similarities between a skateboard and a longboard are very superficial (we can barely trade any hardware at all); that extends to the respective communities, which also have disjoint histories.

Longboarders trace their roots to surfers; likely someone bored of waiting for a good wave has put skateboard trucks on their surfboard. Some niche longboarding cultures/disciplines were inspired by surfing/SUP (surfskate, pumptrack, land paddle), and one major longboarding discipline is a lot about moving on and around the board ("dancing" on it).

In these other longboarding communities (perhaps except pumptrack), you will see people using helmets and other safety gear much less often, and it's probably fair. But I've never, ever been dissed by any of these people for wearing a helmet, even if just cruising.
Based on my experience, most "sun damage" worry comes from aesthetic concerns. Personally, as someone who has already encountered much of that, I also find the whole explorer look neat, but I don't think the health effects are the prime movers here.

Also, cannot discount innate bias: love sunshine to the degree I had these solar lamps for winter.

But the fact that melanomas are less likely to be fatal overall amongst us outdoor weather-beaten folk is quite gratifying. I wonder if there are genetic markers.
Ugh no, I would hate that. Rather fewer long days than many short ones.

Having said that, I live in Spain where restaurants don't even open until 8:30pm or so. So it suits not only myself but my environment. When you describe restaurants closed at 7pm, that sounds a bit like the Nordic countries. They're really 'early birds' in my experience, which I find very odd because of the long sun hours there in Summer. When I visited a small town in Sweden, it was deserted in full daylight. I can't wrap my head aorund that.

Also for my my best work is done after hours when things quiet down and I can actually concentrate... My worst hours are the mornings when I struggle to wake up.

First you say there's too many faces, I give you an easy solution. Now you say there's too many ads, I say to make a script that pulls in latest images from a set of accounts using Instagram's Basic Display API.

Next you'll probably say you don't want to do any actual work, but also won't pay someone else to do work, in which case I have no solutions.
I felt the same way. I don't like the disingenuous way the article starts, because it really does dilute the serious nature of racism. It shouldn't be something off-handedly used to get a few more clicks on an article or to signal to your in-group that you're virtuous.

It might be the inverse. Someone not wanting to get out of bed in the morning projecting that view onto the world.

You're repeating yourself now, so I will too. Exercising interests is voting.
“People of color rarely get melanoma. The rate is 26 per 100,000 in Caucasians, 5 per 100,000 in Hispanics, and 1 per 100,000 in African Americans. On the rare occasion when African Americans do get melanoma, it’s particularly lethal—but it’s mostly a kind that occurs on the palms, soles, or under the nails and is not caused by sun exposure.”

It’s saying they’re pushing sun screen for people who don’t really need it.

Stop worrying about inbox zero. Stop trying to read everything. Admit to yourself you neither care about reading every tab you have open, or will get round to dealing with them -- periodically go through them and close them. Stop making the to-do a bucket list and just do what you can do.

This is absolutely my own experience, my own opinion. I've been you, I've burned out. Life is short, there is so much to enjoy - pick the bits you want and enjoy them, you will absolutely not get to everything.
Paying $700+ for something like this is just silly. OPNsense and pfSense are both charging massive markups on this hardware.

pfSense doubles the price over the exact same box you can get from AliExpress or ebay.

Buy a standard Ryzen mobo, a low-end recent Ryzen CPU, undervolt it, toss some ram in, an old SATA SSD, and a dual or quad port PCIe adapter off ebay. Or just buy an old Dell SFF PC; you can get your choice of how powerful a processor you want.

If you want the embedded/fanless setup, then buy one of the aliexpress/ebay boxes. Qotom is one such seller, I believe.

As someone with a ton of experience with opnsense: their release style is extremely irritating. The only way to get security updates is to conduct a full upgrade of the system. The UI is clunky, outdated, full of useless "help text", and almost seems to be purposefully designed to use confusing field names and terminology. Debugging problems is difficult at best with inconsistent logging infrastructure.

I've also never once had a config restore go properly, something I've tried to do several times because I generally get about 2-3 years out of an opnsense install before enough stuff has broken that I need to reinstall from scratch.

Last but not least: they now routinely ignore their support forum except for the most simple, common problems. Every time I've had a problem, I've found a corresponding post in their forum which has gone gnored by their employees.
Eh. I live in a state where a lot of people own firearms, myself included, and have open carry laws as well as concealed carry permits. It really isn't a big deal. Unfortunately humans are humans and, worse, Americans are Americans, and crazy people go crazy and do crazy person shit with a lot more regularity than we'd like, which is only compounded by easy access to firearms. But I'm willing to bet most of my neighbors own guns, including the right-wing troll[0] living up the street. I have no real fear that any of them are going to pull a gun on me.

[0] No seriously, this guy puts up intentionally inflammatory yard signs.
I'm going to assume you aren't American, because it sounds like you're working off of some fairly skewed views of the country. The vast majority of gun owners are pretty much normal people who don't want to shoot anyone for any reason. The vast majority of HoA's are not overbearing or crazy. The Venn diagram of "crazy gun owners willing to shoot anyone on their property" and "over the top HoA's" is going to show essentially no overlap. The former almost always live in rural areas and the latter are usually found in upper class suburban neighborhoods.
Come to think of it, I think this is another instance of the "cause miracles" thing.

No user ever gets root. What gets root is a process. "Grant root access to the owner" while blocking malware means that the OS kernel must distinguish whether a process is acting on behalf of the owner of the device, and has not deceived the owner about what the process will do. If the OS developer (Google in this case) does not do that, clearly the OS developer is evil or horribly incompetent, and anyone who thinks that what the OS currently does is reasonable is an apologist who comes creeping out of the woodwork.

I'll add:

• You're able to speak loud and clear.

• You can speak the same language as the shopkeeper.
What matters is that the consumers have choice to use free software if they want. If someone makes an app for a (locked-down) samsung phone, it's going to work on a pixel phone running some AOSP distro. If google took some hardline policy or license that prevented the likes of samsung or xiaomi from tinkering with the OS, then all of these companies would be spinning up their own OSes and you would have even more fragmentation. the end result would be worse for the remaining AOSP/Pixel users.

Even if the consumers had privacy and control by default (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong), they still have to choose to take steps to maintain that privacy and control, because user respecting software is necessary but not sufficient for freedom.

I think the android userbase will come around when they realize that plain AOSP and vanilla android are just way better than all the bloated shit these manufacturers are doing with android.
