What if you just want to... you know... live in a house? In that case you just live in it, service the mortgage, and wait.

Most of the time, my usual editor, because if you really want to cut those costs, you have to put work into the code

Reconfiguring servers will only take you a small part of the way. You have to understand where your costs are coming from and why. Then it's really about understanding your own system and business needs
My high-level take-away is that Google seems like a cesspool of non-stop drama.

Does anyone there keep work business to technical work only without getting overwrought with emotion? Has Google's hiring practices resulted in a population where neuro-atypical folks are overrepresented, and rational discussion is impossible? In other words people who may be technically excellent but have zero emotional intelligence.

This is also why I think blending activism with work is a terrible idea. People forget how to act professionally.

There are 'difficult' people at every job, but Google seems to be on another level... way too many stories about people freaking out over trivial nonsense like message board posts.

It also seems to be a uniquely American phenomenon. I could not picture a company in Germany or Scandinavia staffed with such immaturity.
As an employee I also find it more convenient. I don't really want to pick people to go to lunch with, wait to be seated at a restaurant, wait for someone to take my order, receive a standardized quantity/proportion of food, wait for someone to come with the bill, decide how much to tip, etc.

Instead I serve myself the exact proportions that I want, go find friends to sit with, eat, chat, then drop off my dishes and leave. The rituals of eating out and having food prepared to order are expensive and don't provide a lot of value to me over self-serve, generally speaking.

You could end up being underwater on your mortgage, which could be a bad thing if other aspects of your financial situation deteriorate.

Defaulting on a mortgage isn't that easy, and could have negative consequences beyond just getting your house foreclosed on. You could end up having no house, and having to pay the remainder of the difference.

You could go bankrupt, but then you'd have a hard time finding a rental place for the same amount that'll accept people with very low credits scores.
I have hypertension, and its very difficult to measure my BP and watch it. Why? Because I absolutely hate the cuffs. I hate the pressure it cause, and it gives me anxiety. To be able to measure my BP with out a cuff? That'd be a game changer for me. And also, having all of this data on the watch has greatly reduced my anxiety, because I check some things and have an idea that I'm actually fine.

So please don't assume your situation to others.
The struct and interpretation of classical mechanics is a good one.

The only thing I'd say is that complexity in this styles of projects is not in the code. Unless you start a new compiler from scratch I'd say something like 70% of my time not thinking about language semantics are spent thinking about target semantics, not anything you'd see in a book. Any I almost literally do mean anything.

One slightly left field approach is that although Leslie Lamport has a very math-first writing style he actually typically does build up to the analysis of more and more practical systems when he writes about TLA+.

Knuth sort of does this with the caveat that you have to be very good at reading through the lines if you want a tutorial-esque experience.

Well if house values go down it changes the size of the mortgage you can take out on it, and your stable "rent" will turn out to be stably high compared to market, but yeah, house prices going down shouldn't affect your plans too much if you'll just live in it.

Rentals in the near-future will be of higher cost until re-adjusted or if the demand goes much lower. Also, renting with a bankruptcy on the record could be challenging.
>if houses lose 30% of their value, a substantial amount of people would be underwater and would likely be better off walking away. Could be very bad.

That would only be true for people who did cash out refis, not for someone who just wanted a lower interest rate. All they did was re-amortize their current existing loan (on a house that they already had equity in) and get a lower rate.
And just like that, I find that my love I developed a love for robusta mixed in espresso came from a lie (or lack of reading closely). <sincerely> Thanks for pointing that out.
I'll take a stab.

The lift-to-drag ratio decreases with speed, but the limit is not zero, but rather 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-to-drag_ratio#Supersonic

More precisely the L/D ratio as a function of the Mach number M is (4M+3)/M. Of course, that's the ideal maximum L/D ratio. But let's go with it.

So, let's see what happens if you travel at Mach 2, Mach 5 (lower limit of the hypersonic regime) and Mach 10 (which is around the reported speed of the Russian Zircon missile, which they tested a few days ago, on 28May2022). The L/D ratios would be 5.5, 4.6 and 4.3.

Let's say we envision a flight path of 1000 km (same as the said Zircon test). At Mach 10 that would take about 300 seconds = 5 min, and at the slower speeds of Mach 5 and Mach 2 it would take 10 and 25 minutes.

Of course, you'd like the missile to get to the target sooner rather than later, if you could help it. The paradoxical thing is that the faster the missile is, the less fuel it needs to burn.

You read that right. And this has nothing to do with air-breathing scarmjet engines. It's just old fashion rocket engines.

Here's how this works, in our example. At Mach 2, our drag is 1/5.5 = 18.2% of the lift, so your engines need to push with 0.18g to keep you at constant speed. They need to do that for 1500 seconds, so that translates into a delta-v of 0.18 x 10 x 1500 = 2.7 km/s. A typical kerosene-oxygen rocket engine has an exhaust velocity around the same, so the rocket equation tells us the ratio of dry mass over total mass (dry mass + fuel) is about exp(-1)= 37%. So, 63% of your missile has to be fuel.

At Mach 5 the drag is 1/4.6 = 0.22g. Delta-v becomes 0.22 x 10 x 600 = 1.3 km/s, and the ratio of dry mass to total mass completely reverses: now only 62% of the vehicle mass is dry, and 38% is fuel.

At Mach 10, delta-v is 0.23 x 10 x 300 = 0.7 km/s and the fuel mass is only 23%.

For comparison, the phenomenal Tomahawk cruise missile has a fuel weight of about 450 kg and a total mass of 1300 kg, so a fuel ratio of about 35%. A Mach 10 hypersonic missile could have a comparable fuel ratio as a Tomahawk subsonic cruise missile.

Of course, the Mach 10 missile needs a booster to bring it at altitude and cruising speed. But that booster can be a fairly dumb (and inexpensive) rocket. And in the era of SpaceX, who knows, that booster might even be reusable.

The essay to read is “The Will To Believe” from William James.

This is where the term “leap of faith” was coined. That illustration shows that, at least where self-confidence is concerned, belief in one’s own capabilities can greatly influence the outcome. Do not read this as a rebuttal to your last point; it’s a nuance, and may be limited to one’s own self-conception.

That essay also discusses the circumstances where it makes sense to respect non-rational[1] beliefs:

> Genuine option – "we may call an option a genuine option when it is of the forced, living, and momentous kind"[0]

All of those terms are precisely defined in the essay, and the Wikipedia article has a decent lightning summary. The point is, when you are faced with coming up with a personal philosophy or set of guiding principles, you are forced to figure it out, and science is not (yet or possibly ever) capable of providing answers to those questions for most people.

I prefer the term “non-rational” here because “irrational” has connotations of “going against rational thought” whereas “non-rational” implies “areas which are not covered by rational thought.”
Aren't all laptops that aren't macs easily repairable?

RAM, SSD, battery, keyboard(but in many laptops the whole top panel has to be replaced), track pad, wifi card, display(framework has the better way only over here).

I mean buying a tongfang OR a system 76 is a way better option than going for framework due to its QR codes I don't understand why.

I'm not shitting on framework this is just what I've been wanting to ask for so long

The veting of repair shops is a ploy.

The watch industry used to vet repair Watch Repair shops on the guise of "Quality Assurance". They would require Watchmakers buy their expensive cleaning machines, and a bunch of other pricy tooling, and requirements; in order to procure parts. 90% of watchmakers couldn't get a parts accout, and the watch companies loved it. it meant more after sales/warranty business.

This was because they didn't want to sell parts to anyone. They wanted to do the repairs

For a few years, certain Watchmakers kept up with the demands from Rolex, and The Swatch Group.

We were just happy to be able to get parts.

About 15 years ago the watch companies just decided not to sell parts to anyone.

That whole Vertical Intregtation consumer ripoff.

I am very leary of any company that wants to vet their repair shops for anything, other than maybe medical equipment.

They will supply the schematics, but they don't want to make it easy.

This problem, namely bazillions of ways to get auth wrong, is solved by Web3.

I really don't get why everyone here hates it.

Edit: Yes, I meant that login is tied to your wallet. This can be a hardware wallet, so it's very difficult to have it attacked, can be backed up, never expires, etc. This auth mechanism removes _tons_ of problems with existing web sites & giant corporations. But I guess most of you work for them, so have fun mocking people who are not like you :)
There's a long history of open source software implementing patented algorithms, especially in the video and audio codec space. Those open source implementations are definitely used by professionals, so I would recommend not being so assured about the scope of use of software that may contain patented algorithms.

The vocal data on public safety channels being reported as encrypted does not necessarily say that there could be no vulnerability there. There's lots of control data that may or may not be encrypted, and encryption does not prevent all kinds of attacks here.
It's a classical technique.

Additionally - while the legacy bemoth Intel is getting onboard with open source schematics (and figuring out its strategy to open source the VHDL for its 12th gen core to compete against RISC-V - perhaps now that Gelsinger who is more technical than the previous CEO - there is some hope!) -- the question is whether we'd rather see a product like Framework make inroads despite the roadblocks and build up marketshare to further the case toward right to repair.
Agree with your points.

One thing that may have prevented this hacking: facebook could have noticed that the primary email for the user was for an expired domain, and proactively notified them to remove it.

When a domain expires, there's a grace period, and just checking daily whether a user's email's domain is expired, and if so texting them or otherwise notifying them to change the email, would have been sufficient.

This wouldn't even require _that_ many checks since the total number of unique domains to check is probably low. 99% of all users will be on gmail/outlook/yahoo/etc, and all users using the same domain only require a single check a day for the domain not having lapsed.

Likewise, the vast majority of orchestral music is not done to a regular tick. The phrasing can be very different between different conductors, as they all speed up / slow down / etc. to the conductor's individual interpretation of the piece.

So the conductor is also a visual time keeper.

Some people don't have "stable rent" as they may have something akin to an ARM.

Besides that, some people purchase homes to fixup/sell as a way of personal/business income. Others may have purchased just barely in their means and now inflation going up on necessities has pushed them out of their means ... and they need to sell but also can't afford the loss in a declining market. Others may be relying on the value of their home for retirement related expenses.

My point: there are a lot of situations that a declining market makes worse. Depending on how far down it goes, you can see a lot of people hit hard times which can lead to real economic pain for everyone.
Biden came out this week talking about banning “high capacity” 9mm guns and Jim Acosta has been pushing the “ban AR-15s” agenda pretty hard.

Yup, but you need visibility, specially with categorisation (based on tags, environments, applications), trends and predictions.

Without this it's a tedious, suboptimal job.
I think the difference is in the (perception of) honesty or hypocrisy. If Apple jealously guards details about their hardware and impedes repairs, it's bad but it's expected. If Framework guards details about their hardware and impedes repairs, it's in direct opposition to their claimed mission and the reason people were interested, and it feels like a betrayal. (Obviously this varies; not everyone cares about the same things or to the same degree. But I suspect that's this is where a lot of the dissent comes from.)
He mentions reviewing exceptions for "particularly exceptional contributors" it's intended to be communicated down.
I want to believe it's not true. If CF makes a post saying this didnt happen then I'll take this down. As of now, this theory leans on ancedotal evidence. I just want to know the true answer to the question: Have users been banned from their CloudFlare accounts over false-positives? and while their account is in this disabled state is it prevented from domain transfering-out?
Exactly I don't understand a fuss about it. If someone wants an open source laptop companies like system 76 exist. I don't understand what part of the market is being targeted by framework and even then there are better alternatives for framework if you want to replace the ram ssd battery etc.
Right but that wouldn't apply here I'd assume, unless we're saying the customer's domain was already expired and they didn't renew it?

He means everyone.

"If there are exceptional contributors" - one would hope that the entire executive team is exceptional in his eyes, or why are they executives? And he wouldn't need to specify "I will approve them directly" - executives outside of policy would already be approved by Musk. He's saying "I have to approve it, not you."

This is a directive, not "hey you guys, and only you guys".
Anecdotal data point here. During the 2008 crash, I purchased a 2 bedroom / 1 bath home for $68k in foreclosure. It previously had a mortgage for $239k.

Its current “Zestimate” is $286k.
Housing cannot fall without unemployment. So far the economy has lost workers not jobs. Unemployment is 3.6 % and going down. Real min wage is 22$.

In addition, there is a big wave of onshoring coming into the US due to supply chain issues.

Housing price will not fall due to 25% inventory levels from 2008. Also High mortgage locks sellers into their current homes. I predict another 20% rise in house prices (At least nominal rise).
Quite interesting, but aren't there restrictions on what circumstances they're allowed to delete domains? This section of the doc doesn't seem to speak to that, or maybe it's another doc entirely.
This sucks to hear. Having dealt with Meta properies, they won't be interested in helping you.

I had something similar happen to my Instagram account.

A few weeks ago, I got a popup inside IG to verify my age. Not wanting to give them my real age, I set my age as 0. The popup playfully said that my age can't be 0. So I set it to 20 years and the popup got stuck. After a few taps, my account was marked as underage account and I had to send my photo id to get it back else it will be deleted permanently after 30 days.

I though about all the photos and messages in my account and while it would be sad to let it go, I reckon IG's ban was a blessing as the quicker I let it go, the free'er I would be from Meta's clutches.

In in the end, I didn't verify my account. By now, it would be wiped out by a cronjob.

The sooner you realize these companies(and Meta in particular) don't care about you, the better. These are all rented platforms and should be treated as such.

The tool is useful, but let down by Wikipedia images not being linked to the relevant Wikidata ID. I selected just the red circles (no photo). About half of these already have photos in the Wikipedia article that isn't linked to the Wikidata ID. Adding the image attribute to the Wikidata fixes it and the red dot disappears about 60 seconds later.

So before you head out with your camera, perhaps do some linking first. What's left surprises me with articles with no photo, which I would have thought someone would have done by now. So I'll be the first!
Why do you need original parts when there are millions of options. If there is no Lenovo RAM I'd buy crucial ram or Samsung ram. If there's no ssd I'd buy an Intel ssd or whatever else. For a display replacement of course you won't be able to do it on your own and anyways it's not a phone and displays rarely break in laptops so Lenovo center will do it for you if you can't find any displays.
This is a common argument against right to repair. It is worth noting that this only makes IP infringement a little more difficult. Reverse engineered schematics exist for many products.
Interesting. That said - its one thing to have a knowledge base likely targeted toward corporate IT teams with direct access to order-able parts via Lenovo value added resellers and another to put it on the landing page for a consumer facing laptop.

It'd be a huge win in fact for right to repair if Lenovo did do this in response to Framework.
Or we can choose to reply as sanctimonious radicals. I'm experienced at working that angle too.
The first paragraph was good, no?
What I have learned from watching lots of interviews with drug addicts and homeless is that some people are so broken by life that it is impossible to fix them. No amount of resources spent on “fixing” them will work. All we can do is to minimise the number of kids who get broken in early childhood by parents/family/neighbourhood, giving them a chance to avoid the same destiny. Having said that, helping does work for the maybe 80% who hasn’t yet become completely broken.

Well, then science needs to do more to create an environment where software engineers would want to be an RSE.

From my experience "science" does not appreciate RSEs, the compensation is bad, the freedom is bad, and you get all of the big company bureaucracy from the University.

It's just a bad environment and to top it off, even if you have a PhD many will see you as "less than."
It’s more looking at the other musician’s fingers in the case of a string quartet (or when I played in rock groups as a bassist, I would have my eyes on the drummers hand and foot on the kick drum pedal).
