I don't think I get the author's take. He is essentially saying that happiness is indeed a goal, and usefulness is the means to it.

But then there is this truism:

> Happiness can’t be a goal in itself.

Why not?

And the following non sequitur:

> Therefore, it’s not something that’s achievable.

Just because something is not a goal, that does not mean it is not achievable, because a goal is just the expression of desire. Anything could be a goal, like going to Mars, but that does not mean it is achievable.

Anyway, it may be that I'm not quite into this self help trend. I in fact think it could be toxic, even.

To this day the Go is actually one of my favorite headsets, and I have owned many. The small controller and form factor are great for travel and I can comfortably watch a movie with it on the plane, which can't be said for most headsets.
That said, whilst it is a great device for watching movies, that is really all it was ever good for.
Why Use WordPress for Digital Marketing?
I think Apple pushes out whatever is on their internal roadmap, and if it works for most of the users, it's fine. If not a serious issue, it may never be fixed.

There are somewhat serious/annoying issues that have been there for multiple years but are mostly relevant for power users, or issues that do not contribute to the bottom line, and thus will never be fixed.

Even if their own apps do not work together nicely, tough luck.

Hope that your issues will be fixed in the next major OS release.

I think that it is a problem with their mode of operating and the fact that fixing the majority of bugs will take longer than pushing out a v1 of a new product or service.

Also, fixing these bugs will probably mean that teams have to talk to each other, and I really have no idea if that is a reality at Apple. Given the last few software releases it doesn't seem that way.

I have a bunch of issues with Monterey that, while some are VERY annoying, do not prevent me from being productive. I also have zero expectation they will be fixed.
Something else that I think would be smart to implement is a reorder detection. Have the change approval specificy point out stuff that gets reordered, and require manual approval for each section that gets moved around.

I also think that having a script that walks through the file and points out any ovibious mistakes would be good to have as well.
I use google cloud shell (remote vm or a docker container whatever), it is fast and I can try bunch (most) of things real quick.
clone repos, docker-compose up, open web preview. It saves time and keeps local machine clean.

Also I made a script to install a DE and novnc, I can browse in it, and not feel guilty about local firewall.
So would first class support for open cross-platform APIs like OpenGL and Vulkan on Windows and Xbox.
Some of the big public FTP servers also did this. I think I remember it on one of the sunsite servers.

Good point. But there are Knowledge Hazards that stand alone. Such as
traumatic images you cannot unsee. A lot of people who work in digital
forensics would love a zero knowledge proof that a folder is full of
CP without having to look at it. That's pretty much the idea of the
CSAM algorithm Apple wanted to push, which makes it a pretty great
idea minus the digitally rapey forcing it on people without their
consent bit.

> "Only 1% of participants consistently wanted to know"

Wow! I sometimes feel "better not to know" but for the most-part I am
scientific/rationalist and will take all the intel I can get even if
it may be challenging.

There's one exception: I often deliberately don't google people I am
going to meet. I want the relationship to evolve organically. If it's
an interview I might check a bit on their professional background, and
the orgs they've worked with, but even given the opportunity to see a
much deeper dox I'll pass on it. I feel it's degrading. Also that it
may give me a false impression that excludes opportunities. I would
only break that "polite ignorance" if I needed to assess the risk of
someone or suspected a problem.

Never Forget Anything Again: Big Questions with Cal Fussman
I help one of my co-workers out with some industrial work. Its AB Studio 5000 and Wonderware edge. These programs are terrible. They are not backward compatible so the standard thing every control engineer seems to do is have 500 different VMs. One for each version of each individual program. It's bonkers.

Working on industrial equipment even with current technology is like going back 20 years. The controls software ecosystem seems to just barely be accepting version control now. Instead of just directory after directory of duplicates named "XXX - v1.000 - I really deployed this one to plant XXX"

HFT Billionaire Jeff Yass Is Gaming the Tax System
Very early on people were taught (in school!) that .com meant it was a business, and would likely be moderately correct about that business, .net was for networks, and .org was a organization that would very likely be truthful. Fake information would only come from .coms, and you could certainly trust .gov.

Of course, even then slashdot.org existed so the distinction wasn't really effective; later it DID become a bit of a signal because the "big three" were more expensive than .biz and friends so the latter became known for scam/spam sites.

Now it's all completely random and doesn't matter at all.
thanks, always fun to read this history.
Netflix had a sharing feature exactly like this that worked over Xbox Live on the 360 back in 2012 or so. Live audio chat was pretty low latency if I remember correctly so it was a pleasant experience.

Astonishing that that feature seems to be dead and we don’t have any kind of decent replacement for it. I got a lot of mileage out of it watching crappy movies with friends.
Back in the day, we used to call participating in new things you might not enjoy on the off chance that you would either learn something or meet somebody interesting "living."

I'm not sure when that changed, but the comments in the thread don't suggest to me it changed for the better.
I think it's more likely that it's not having children that accelerates aging in women, but raising them. It's not an easy job, many fathers aren't as helpful as they could be even when they are involved, and the nuclear family we idealize in the US places the vast majority of the burden on the parents.

That's not really sex, is it?

Or every good Christian having children is commiting sin when procreating? How do Christians procreate without sex, through the prayer and then some holy mother come to their house and bring child?

You can have lust without sex, though it's quite unplesant to have sex without lust.
The stakes of the typical "fuck around and find out" nonsense are out of bounds here, really.

It doesn't matter how incapable Russia is at completing their inhumane mission in Ukraine, they are very much capable of launching a number of unstoppable ICBMs with enough nuclear warheads carried along the ride to make every last cockroach in the deep gutters of the most remote and forgotten town in Montana squeal in agony.

They are changing into what makes more money in the long run.
This was something I was surprised not to see directly addressed in terms of follow up steps. When discussing process changes, they mention additional testing, but nothing to address what seems to be a significant communication gap.
And those people are not making software.
You can compute things based on the average, eg. samples*average = totals. There is no interesting statistical property I'm aware of that is computed with medians.

From a philosophical perspective, the median hides outliers which, however, contribute to the total value of a population.
But many women on Tinder and Bumble aren’t looking for a relationship. When I fill in the “Looking For” parameter with “Relationship” instead of leaving it blank on Bumble, my incoming like count would drop by 40% percent. When I’d remove that parameter, my likes would go back up.

> You are exposed to people that you'd NEVER meet in the more traditional sense.

On one hand, this is great! Unfortunately, text conversations between strangers who's only cues are a handful of photos and snippet of text are miserable.

Im almost sure if I had met someone I've met in dating apps in more traditional environments, I'd at least have more friends.
I hope to not start a flame war, but for "modern GUI on top, Unix-like shell underneath" I am extremely happy with KDE 5. I run it on Kubuntu, which is Ubuntu with stock KDE. It perfectly handles multiple monitors and desktops, I can move windows from one monitor to another via keyboard shortcut, Window-on-Top, and the killer feature highlight-to-copy and middle-click-to-paste which is about the only thing I do with the mouse.

The only thing I've had to add to it is an addon called Owl for accessing MS Exchange with Thunderbird at my previous employer. But stock Thunderbird is good enough for accessing Office 365 where I work now.

If you can, it is always better to go full time.

If you hourly rate is 150$ (in the market), and you can work 300H a month (including weekend) (It should be 400 hours - 13 hours a day).

Than you are basically making around 70-100K a month (in value), but paying only 4K (in cash, your living expenses).

Of course, if you are 2X, 3X , 4X engineer , you are basically making 300K a month for 4K cost.
I find the paranoia in suburbia amazing. I have a coworker who bought a new house in a brand new development. He works as does his wife, but his mother lives in the home as well.

The first thing he did was install 7 cameras with motion sensing alerts. I asked him what he was protecting against and he came up with vague comments about burglars etc. (FYI the crime rate in our town is very low, and especially low in his neighborhood and the surrounding older neighborhoods).

So he spends all day getting alerts as the cameras mis-diagnose moving shadows (caused by the sun) as "movement." All the new construction in the neighborhood triggers the cameras frequently, and eventually he disabled most of the alerts.

I think our society has done such a thorough job of feeding us "fear porn" that we are all ready to assume the worst.

Thanks for the recommendation, just switched to it!
Most notably one of the authors first points is that overclocking leads to premature failure of hardware, which is neither correct nor relevant to security. Premature failure of hardware depends on operating temperatures and it's trivial today to overclock and substantially decrease operating temperatures for any knowledgeable overclocker.

I'm not versed in timing attacks so I don't really understand the implications there, so I'll defer to the authors expertise in the regard.
Or you’re just finding an excuse not to approach.. very few situations are inappropriate.

I'm saying that I would have paid 3-4 years ago before I lost trust in the site. I have no issue with affiliate links (if the site remains neutral which seems almost impossible) but it's clear to me WC sold their soul a while back and subscription fees are a last-ditch attempt to get some more money out of it.

I almost did pay when they announced they were going the subscription route but after being burned or almost-burned (saved by reading reviews about a bait and switch) I decided I no longer cared about WC recommendations.

It’s true that I suspect the author views it as an annoyance or irrelevant, but I don’t know that the author holds actual malicious intent.

I don’t think that’s outright malicious, necessarily.
Genuine question, why don't you just use desktop linux?

I'm curious as to what pain points make you avoid it. Do you prefer the windows GUI interface? do you not want to deal with with updates breaking your system or having to manage things yourself? or are there programs that you use on windows that aren't available on linux? (or something else).

I want to stress that this is a good faith question. (since it seems flame-war territory adjacent, which I'm not interested in getting into).

As somebody not familiar with Wirecutter’s history or legacy, I always considered them to be one of the paid fake review websites that pretend to offer very shallow reviews, mostly just built based on referral links and information that can be harvested from product descriptions. I just don’t agree that they are a real website that does actual testing. 0/10. Would block form Google if I could.
I see two distinct motivations for not wanting to know:

- You have no agency, so the information would just be depressing without enabling you to do something about it.

- You have agency, and indeed you'd have to do something if you knew (for moral, legal or general responsibility reasons) - but you don't _want_ to do anything.
Requiring a software fallback to be present on every system would IMO kill the platform for small-ish CPUs. For example, why would a CPU with a few kilobytes of RAM need to support vector extensions? Why would it have to support UEFI if it doesn’t have or support disks? For CPUs intended to be used in small embedded systems, supporting either easily could make the necessary amount of ROM ten times as large, and thus significantly increase their cost.

Also, having source code to emulate functionality may be nicer, but publishing both source code and a spec will run into problems when the two aren’t compatible with each other.

Finally, I’m not sure it’s possible to emulate all extensions using only the minimal subset of RISC-V instructions. Examples are support for atomic instructions, hypervisors, instruction fences, transactional memory, weak memory ordering, or user-level interrupts.
The dns resolver also impacted and seems still have issue. We change to google dns and it solved.

The problem is, we couldn't tell all our client they should change this :(
Frankly, this sounds like a long-winded way of saying "you write a check," with a technical difference being that the transaction is a push from the sender rather than a pull from the recipient. If this form has an option for recurring on a (e.g.) monthly basis, then it's what Mullvad could suggest subscribers switch to, if both parties have a SEPA presence.

The Space Shuttle was originally designed partially as a manned SR-71 successor. It had the capability to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base into a polar orbit, make a single reconnaissance pass over the USSR, and then immediately land to deliver the imagery. But it was never actually used in that mode.
I've experienced a lot of what you're talking about in video calls but a fairly minimal amount of it when talking in VR. I've never tried singing together in VR and I'm sure it wouldn't be good but conversation flows much more naturally than it does in a video call. I haven't checked but I think video calls have much higher latency because you are also encoding/decoding video streams. VR only transmits headset and controller/tracker positions so it doesn't have to deal with that overhead. Honestly though it doesn't detract from it much, I can't sing and I don't participate in prayer groups so those two things don't affect me. Personally, I'd much rather (and do) spend hours talking to people in VR rather than talking to people in video calls which I also have to do on a regular basis. An hour long video call makes me feel like I want to throw my computer out a window and go live in the woods, an hour long chat in VR doesn't seem quite long enough.
Yes there are some people in Microsoft who are concerned about competition from OSS, but unlike IE I don't see any dirty tactic here TBH. It's their job to sell their product and highlight bad things about open source competing products. It is the same for other side of the camp as well.
Well not completely wrong, this is a very pessimistic take.

> You will have a much higher success rate as an average guy simply with a completely cold approach

This is where I think you're wrong.

First, I'm probably never going to cold approach in public and neither are most men I know. It's not a matter of "growing a pair", it would require a personality change or being disingenuous.

Second, cold approach is a terrible way to meet someone. It's like a tinder swipe where both parties have only 1-2 photos and no profile. Dating like this is a strict needle and haystack approach to finding a compatible partner.

Well half of those cities were in Asia during business hours, so given that the majority of humans live in Asia it makes sense.
