Hey, I know you aren't asking for a job, but you should put some contact info in your profile. I might actually be able to use/help you in my small company/ dev shop. We do some basic dev, had issues with WordPress and focus on Vue projects. Sure I could probably hire some outsourced worker cheaper, but maybe we could be a fit. Maybe not, talk is cheap and I'd love to chat. In the very least some free mentors ng would be fun. My anon profile email should go through.

Hope to chat!
Don't be too hard on yourself, naming submissions is still a hard problem.

That's because the writing was imported from Chinese, with the indigenous Japanese labels slapped on top.

This is quite common even for basic words, eg 日 "sun" vs 火 "fire" both read hi, or 早い "early" vs 速い "fast" both hayai.
It’s been obviously on the radar for years but it’s moving very slowly - the macbook is now arguably a iPad with a keyboard now so the main thing left is the software unification.
Yea, the memetics of "apple get HCI" is long, long dead. Apple does whatever the hell it wants, and loyalists defend it. Your case of "re-validate to spend" is the classic example of gui gone wrong. The box has validated me time out of mind, and even to get to the door of the store I had to validate but no: it wants to ask again. And again. And again. Oh, and microsoft.app again. and again. Oh, and all those other things, except wierdly ssh in the keychain is just.. fine!
But 'B' is already there, and all the other characters are uppercase, so '6' -> 'G' scans easier to my eye.

'619' may be 'big', but it doesn't scan that well. 'B16' looks more like 'BIG'

This kind of stuff gives some of the best arguments for open source software (OSS) to date. Otherwise, it has to be taken completely on faith, which then defeats nearly the entire purpose and makes the performance overhead untenable.
Huh, I guess I always found the exact opposite to be true. But I finished university in 2012, prior to the gold rush. CS department cohort stereotypes have probably drifted somewhat.
I like this. I'd also love to see the venn diagram of "Who is Hiring?" top-level comments and a mix of the best and worst feedback about those companies and their hiring processes during that time. I want to see if companies are getting better or worse. I just wasted over a month with a company only to get feedback like, "The CTO wanted you to know the Bitcoin whitepaper more". Companies, as the market gets more competitive, are only doing shadier and shadier things with their time and communication.
As far as I can tell, the ASF is just where many companies send their failed Java projects for palliative care.
I wish I had more solid data. Cloud Spanner claims about 10K read QPS and 2K write on a "node" which costs $1/hour. The Spanner paper reports about 10K read QPS per core. As I understand the cloud deployment it's 3 replicas at that price, so $0.33/hour should buy me about 8 cores and so I'm not sure what the disparity is (maybe markup? CloudSQL is 2X the cost of compute), but I'll go with 10K QPS/8 cores at the low end. Anyway, something like 500-1000W for ~100 cores so something between 100 QPS/W and 10 QPS/W using the 1000W and high and low performance estimates, or 10^15 / 86400 = 11.6e12 QPS for somewhere between 116MW and a a little over a GW. Sounds comparable(?) to MySQL+TAO on the low end to ridiculously expensive at the high end.

EDIT: I have no clue how efficient MySQL+TAO really are but figure that at least tens of thousands of machines go into it.
I didn't say you claimed it was proof. I said "evidence" and I think that as a matter of evidence it is pretty weak.

Regardless, in practice people do treat it as proof. Before I move on to the other arguments supporting oppression as an explanation I want to drive home that point: there is hardly ever a serious attempt to rule out other possible explanations for disparities, and to suggest that anything other than racism/oppression might explain those differences opens one up to accusations of racism.

Merely referencing Jim Crow is not enough. It ignores both all the ways in which Jim Crow was ineffective at its aims at the time, as well as the seismic cultural and legal changes that have occurred within the intervening years.

It also fails to account for the success of various other minorities (Jews, Nigerians, descendants of Caribbean slaves, various Asian groups) - many of whom also have faced very serious oppression (including outright attempts at elimination) in the very recent past.

None of this is to say that racism does not occur, but I have yet to see a (non-circular) causal explanation for how that can account for a significant amount of present disparities.
Also: power for large phone switch boards. Those battery banks are very impressive.

Well... it would help if AT&T didn't squander that money and actually used it as promised.
There are many answers to why Lolita was well received by many people. (It's worth noting that it was certainly not universally well received--many, many people share your opinion of it.)

One is that many of the people who like it seem not to have read it; or if they have read it, they did not understand it. Many men have described it as "a love story" or otherwise indicated that they feel the book approves of pedophilia. Two movies have been made based on the book, and both portray Dolores Haze (the girl the narrator calls "Lolita") as a seductress rather than as a victim. A substantial portion of the fan base of the book are, rather distressingly, men who appear to be quite enamored of the notion of having sex with children.

Another is that Nabokov was a clever writer who excelled at writing books which reward close reading. Lolita is the story of Dolores Haze, but the narrator is a man who has no interest in her other than as than the victim of his sexual attentions. He drones on at great length about trivialities, while completely skipping over vital information. He is deliberately constructing an exculpatory narrative, which opens fascinating questions about how we can find any truth when everything we read is lies. Sifting through his self-serving prose to find glimpses of the actual Dolores Haze is challenging, and--to me at least--interesting.

It's not an easy book, in many senses. The narrator is a monster. The bulk of the story is obscured behind lies and misdirection. There is no catharsis, no happy ending.

Contrary to the opinion of many people who have not read the book, and some who have, Nabokov was extremely well aware that "Humbert Humbert", the narrator, is a monster. Humbert is a pedophile who abducts a 12-year-old girl and rapes her repeatedly over the course of years. Dolores Haze is a victim, not a seductress, and is in no way responsible for or desirous of her abuse. Humbert is not a reliable narrator, and nothing he says can be trusted.

Nabokov himself was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. He knew what he was writing about. There's one scene that is almost certainly directly based on his own personal experience.

I'd have difficulty saying that I enjoyed Lolita, but it's a rewarding book, and I'm glad to have read it.

In my experience none of what you are talking about is necessary to have a successful tech career. In my case I have an English degree, went to a boot camp, and worked fairly hard at medium sized companies for a few years. I work at a company where I make as much or more than a lot of doctors. A lot of my colleagues are from places like Google, Microsoft, Facebook etc.

I could probably not have even gone to college, it was just getting the first job that mattered. Probably wouldn't have gotten into Google or whatever with that first job, but it isn't hard to work your way up if you interview well.

Maybe we disagree about what "really successful" means. I personally feel that the way things are now if I was actually motivated to make as much as possible I could get promoted and ladder my way up about as far as I wanted to in this industry, but I have no desire to do this because I make plenty of money and only work about 25 hours a week. If I wanted to I could also go work for some exciting startup, but I would have to work a lot harder which is something I don't want to do.

The point being that what you do in high school, college, or even most of your career doesn't really matter that much if you are smart and can actually figure out what you are doing.
Perhaps the restaurant selection reflects that most people in the region don't eat out? I too live in the general area of the "Midwest" (not really but close enough), and everybody I know cooks at home far more than they eat out, and more/better restaurants wouldn't change that behavior much since we are all poor. The problem then becomes what is cooked at home, and how much is eaten, and those aren't great. It's not for lack of available ingredients (although prices of "better" ingredients tend to play some role, like I'm not going to buy an "organic" bag of dirty carrots for 3x more than the regular dirty carrots from the same brand in the same package). In my unstudied and ignorant opinion, it comes down to a cultural thing, specifically a line of recipes and behaviors stemming from the Depression era. "Eat everything on your plate" is a common refrain, even when the plate is too big and too full. The same sort of calorie dense foods are made, but as scarcity decreased, gluttony increased, and that part simply hasn't gone back down yet.
It's not about actual vulnerabilities (although it may also be), it is about the general public's confidence in the legitimacy of the election. Voting machines do not instill confidence, and that is a bad thing for a democracy. I don't care about the microcosm of improved efficiency. That's not the thing to try to make ultra efficient at the cost of legitimacy.

I remember way back when, you could find out on Twitter who was tweeting in your area. It was a pretty cool way to meet up with folks since the userbase was much smaller and a bit more focused.

> No because proximity to a Post Office isn't a reasonable criteria for suppressing a persons right to vote.

In rural areas, one often has to travel a long distance to reach a post office or DMV. In urban or suburban areas, while the distance may vary, on average it is significantly less.

So, if requiring someone to go to a government office to receive ID to vote suppresses the vote of people who live far away from that office, you'd expect that to produce more voter suppression in rural areas than in urban or suburban areas. But, since rural areas tend to skew Republican and urban areas tend to skew Democratic (with suburban areas being more mixed/swinging), this would seem to suppress Republican voters much more than Democratic ones.

Does it follow therefore that Republicans would be primarily suppressing the vote of their own voters? If that's true, why should Democrats be upset about such a self-inflicted wound on their political opponents?
It ALSO does minimum cost?

If they don't outright blather every keystroke you type to the mothership.
If the 4 people counting the ballots are chosen truly at random after the voting is done, and they count the votes independently from each other, and there is some punishment (even a mild one, like a moderate fine) for disagreeing with the majority count, why would a counter discard your votes ? they have 0 gaurantess that others would discard the same number of votes so why risk being the minority report and getting punished ? bonus points if there is a reward for agreeing with the majority.

If the randomness gaurantees hold and everybody knows they hold, I have trouble imagining a better system. It has a blockchain-y feel to it, you have no reason to trust any single rando, but a bunch of random non-colluding people all acting consistently is a very strong indicator that they are actually telling the truth.
I still have to read the best biographies of Wiener, but I've read some of his books, and the sense I get is that he was doing all of this for the sake of humanity. "The Human Use of Human Beings" wasn't written for the sake of a department that was obsessed with publishing. "Cybernetics, or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine" wasn't written for an industry with adtech blinders on. I am looking forward to investigating Walter and Deming per your recommendations.
Really? I thought, moon should been on the wire.
Not really, no. You just run the propane lines roughly where the petrol lines run.

They run at very very low pressures - in the tank it's less than about ten bar, usually eight or so. The fuel rail pressure in a modern petrol injection engine is far higher, and when you get into DI engines as you say they become hilariously high pressure.

There's not really any drama when you want to maintain it - if you want to disconnect a fuel line, you just close off the tank valve, run the engine until it cuts out from fuel starvation, and the line is more or less empty. You probably blast more HC into the air when you spray your deodorant in the morning ;-)

Given how oldschool aero engines are, I would think a suitable gas conversion would be a single-point mixer and vapouriser like on my old Range Rover (similar level of technology - massive low-compression overhead valve boat anchor). The only thing is you would need a liquid-cooled engine to get a coolant loop to feed around the vapouriser, or you'd need to come up with some other clever solution. Aircooled industrial engines running on gas used to just heat the vapouriser directly with the exhaust, but you're not allowed to do that any more!

The van life is not to be envied. In Los Angeles, they seem to be every where. People are in a never ending cycle hoping to get out. It's a bad life if you are forced into it and have no plans to get out.

Initially it seems freeing but when you lose the motivation to maintain a roof over your head you stop planning for the future and eventually it becomes impossible as you age and you find it harder to get a job.

I wish the author well but I hope she fights to get out of the life ASAP.

You lost me. You think consciousness is a _physical_ phenomenon that would necessarily emerge from an accurate _simulation_ of a particle system? If it’s a physical phenomenon in reality, then just like the clouds and rain in your weather sim aren’t physical, only a simulation of consciousness will be present in your simulation.
Isn’t Python type annotation also ignored during runtime and left for third party tools to check? I would consider that prior art.
> but also had visual anchors.

I only see one visual anchor in the old one, the horizontal rule at the bottom separating Menu Bar. Everything else is just jumbled together.

The new one at least attempts visual anchors with gradient background boxes and by right-justifying all the controls.

I grant you the contrast ratio is worse and Apple should read Contrast Rebellion. And I personally don't care whether they use a checkbox or a switch, as long as its placement is convenient and aesthetic. I use Linux with Gnome 4 on my workstations, which uses switches for settings, and a MacBook laptop with checkboxes, and iPad with switches, and none of that makes any difference to me.

But otherwise I prefer the layout arrangement of the new one. Vertical and horizontal spacing are more orderly, left-justification of text and right-justification of controls improves UI consistency, and grouping within gradient boxes is more aesthetically calmer to my eye. Just my $0.02, to each their own.

If the US would stop using photo IDs as a bludgeon to keep "the wrong people" from voting, everyone could get on board with requiring it. That has always been the real blocker.

I do like postal mail. I've yet to see a convincing argument that the coercion risk is substantial enough to offset the other benefits. Voting slowly at my living room table is awesome.
I see a lot of comments saying to stick it out, etc. But for me, I worked at a fairly Big Co for a year and a half and it really really affected my mental health negatively. The pace the company moved at compared to how much needed to be done created substantial existential dread within myself. I did everything I could to have a good attitude about it, worked the politics of it all, enjoyed side projects and hobbies, etc. But at the end of the day, I think I'm just not built for such a slow moving company so I moved on and have been a lot happier for it.

That being said, to each their own and I know a lot of my coworkers were really happy there.

Are you saying ballots were separated then transported to be counted? I don’t know of anywhere where that happens. In Detroit there were allegations that ballots were ‘left unattended under a table’ which amounted to actually meaning ‘most of the employees left a secure facility which was videotaped the entire time and live streamed’. Trump actual gained votes in Democratic Wayne County. I read all of the allegations of fraud filed in Michigan and they were, to put it politely, drivel.

There were also a number of reports on the integrity of the election, many legitimate audits (including in Antrim county). Did you read them? Did you look for them? Or are you trying to undermine something by feigning concern and sowing doubt?

Edit: also it is useful to remember that the 2020 presidential election wasn’t close. Nothing like 2000. Neither in total votes, electoral votes, or the margin in any of the marginal electoral-vote supplying states.
It uses the n-word? Are you looking at the comment marked dead?
Sorry, I should have been more clear. By iOS-ifying, I meant in terms of aesthetic (e.g. flat design), not necessarily in terms of workflow. I think that the flat, iOS-like design is worse for UX in a desktop context; just not to the point that it significantly changes the workflow. There's also iOS-ifying in regards to things like being more locked down, the introduction of the horrendous Touch Bar, redundant & useless Launch Pad, dumbing down apps like the iTunes >> Apple Music transition, etc.

With all that said, I should also supplement that the convergence does bring some nice enhancements like consistent experiences across things like iMessage, complimentary features like Sidecar, shared workflows like the upcoming Stage Manager for macOS and iPadOS, etc. Heck, there's even some iPadOS features that I wish macOS had, like Slide Over app instances. I'd love to have a small floating Safari instance that I could slide in and out of view while I'm primarily working in one app full-screen.

They can't just make people up. They need to have the name and address of the registered voter who's voting.

They can't just re-vote at the same precinct. The EJs will absolutely notice a person coming in and voting more than once. If that gets noticed a single time, the EJ calls the sheriff (in Cook County, at least).

It takes, like, best case, 10-15 minutes to vote in a precinct. There are lines!

How many votes can you cast this way? 10? 20?

I'm not saying you couldn't manage to cast a fraudulent vote by doing this. I'm saying that your odds of influencing the election by doing it, while at the same time not guaranteeing you end up in prison for trying, are so low that my mind boggles that anyone would try.
