Lots of other people have to work on the 4th of July, they don't get to cordon of areas for their family.
I haven't; i have an office with a screen, physical mouse and keyboard, but it still gets plugged into the laptop.

I can take the laptop to the kitchen, living room or garden if I so please. I can take it out of town or abroad. A desktop... I mean, i could take with me but not so easily.
this is great, just printed out two for my kids to do, that'll keep them quiet for a bit.
No one said it was. But for some people for some problems what they have is definitely good enough.

Example: hdd to ssd (huge quantitative improvement if you measure speeds). As you rightly said.

To my eyes(bad eyes) 1080p is enough, 4k might look slightly better but no way near in the same ballpark as hdd to ssd. Maybe its the fonts, workflow or fontsize i use but 4k fonts does not not x5 or x10 better than 1080p fonts. I absolutely sure there are ppl that, that is true for though. YMMV shrug
No, but I can give advice... the open source world has a lot of half backed abandonware programs that almost do something useful. Improving one instead of starting from scratch isn't as sexy but will make the world better in the end.
Start with 2400 million, invest half with founders who have crazy ideas to fix the environment. Should be done in 8-10 months.
It's lawyer talk for "We think it happened but we want wriggle room"

OP here

Stumbled upon this article while researching reasons why Wes Montgomery is so good; Not because I was looking for an objective fact; Rather, just wanted to read some of the love others have for his voice

While reading this article it struck me how well written the article is. Certainly the subject is relatable and Wes is more of a grace note than the melody of this article, yet the article was written by a human who has found Wes and elevated him to his pantheon of "repeatability", making this article ultimately worth reading and sharing. Maybe even....more than once
That was a generic argument, but still a valid one. Go is a language that indeed misses several features, including safety features, that help people perform their job better, and their excuses for that aren't exactly well thought. It is a systemic issue with the language, and criticising it ca feel like a cheap shot, but that's they way it is. It's nice that they're reverting their position on that (re: generics), but there's still a long way to go.

Also: just because someone isn't forced to use it, doesn't mean it's immune to criticism, no matter how vague it is. And also, some people are forced to use it at their day job. Again, just because they can quit their job, doesn't mean the language is immune to criticism. I would suggest some introspection if criticism of something you like is causing you to dismiss their arguments and attack them, no matter how bad they are. There was no attack to you.

I don't understand why this always happens in Go discussions. It's a language with a lot of potential, but people still stoop down to attacking others in order to defend it should be frozen in time.
Add this topic to the ever growing list of topics that are just blind faith nonsense every time they come up. See also:

- Apple

- Elon Musk

- Electron

- React

- Intelligence agencies

- Cryptocurrency

- Literally anything outside of tech where you just have a huge swath of people confidently expressing what they consider to be fundamental truths without actually understanding the basics of the topic.
"enforcing the law" is also in that list, which likely gives rather broad latitude.
Because application performance matters more than developer performance.
Middle management is struggling to show their value or even find something to do. The head shed is needed, and the workers are needed. Throw in tram leads to insulate the team from the bs and to keep them on the right path. And given that software development usually profits from peace and quiet, a bullpen or place where interruptions occur daily or worse is counterproductive. Let the marketeers or the like do their thing to the best of their ability, but please have them do it somewhere else.

If you can’t asychronously tell whether a project you’re purportedly responsible for is advancing, why are you being paid?
Modern North American transit is designed exclusively for the poors. The time of those people has little or no value so we can save money on getting them to our kitchen, gardens, and factories by spending their time walking more. Besides, it's good exercise and keeps them fit for their lot in life.

All the money we save at the expense of the poors can be put into making the capital works impressive and highly visible so when the taxpayers are driven by (or drive by, some people like that kind of thing) they can behold how much their elected representatives have done for them and get reminded of that next time they vote.
Cool. Sounds like a recipe for an Internet that doesn’t need a Google. Just have a community browser that does what you described. Only that the index isn’t stored locally only, but also shared across users.

there are certainly strong forces dividing the populace and turning them against each other...the media is one of those forces, the primary force...but one big question is whether the media is just a tool in the hands of the corporations that fund the media via advertising purchases? Would these corporations want the populace divided? Yes, of course they would...divide et impera, aka divide and conquer has long been the preferred tactic of the elites...the USA was created under the guiding rubric of divide et impera: see Dr Woody Holton's book Unruly Americans, where he shows how the founding fathers created the enlarged federal voting districts and separation of powers/checks and balances form of federal govt in order to prevents the proles from uniting against the elites...

the current propaganda regime directed by the media implements divide et impera by demonizing the largest demographic bloc and using propaganda (starting with the educational curriculum) to turn the the smaller demographic blocs against the largest and most powerful demographic bloc....the elites are using divide et impera and racial diversity as its tool...
Not sure. Twitter board members have a fiduciary duty towards shareholders. If they accept a lot less than they could get by simply enforcing the rules (at a comparatively negligible cost) because they don't want to look mean, I reckon there's a very high probability that they will get sued by some hedge fund.
At $5bn Twitter & its board open themselves up to getting sued by the shareholders who were harmed for $16bn currently.

What Twitter as a company "wants" is kinda irrelevant. They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, and telling all those shareholders they just didn't feel like getting a $54.20/share deal because they didn't like the buyer and didn't want to be bought isn't really going to fly.

So any settlement will come with a requirement for Twitter to reasonable demonstrate to share holders that they haven't been harmed. And since all signs point to Twitter having the much stronger case, it's hard to imagine them just accepting much less than either the original purchase, or a penalty fee of closer to $16bn (the current gap between the share price & the purchase price)
Except, industrial agriculture and fisheries are nothing like subsistence predation.

I see no problem with hunter-gatherers’ predation of wildlife, provided they act in ecological balance with their environment (and they do tend to, out of self-preservation).

That’s not the world the vast majority of us live in though. We kill on the order of 1 trillion animals every year. We’re devastating Earth’s biosphere for the sake of an unnecessary dietary choice.

We’ll reap what we sow, sooner or later.
Housing is unique in that it is one of the few, maybe the only, assets where leverage in the form of a loan is relatively easily available to even people without a lot of assets. Where as other forms of leverage like margin loans require the borrower to already have assets for collateral. To buy a house you basically just need a reasonable job and a few thousand for the down payment.

I’ve used Gmail for work for 9 years and Gmail for personal use for 18 years and have never had to ask why an email bounced back or disappeared into an undisclosed quarantine with no notification.
1080p on a 14 inch laptop is the same density as 4k on my 28 inch screen. I have to try really hard to see any imperfections. Under real-world conditions suboptimal lighting & reflections are a bigger issue on a laptop screen than some sub-pixel features of text.
lol in my country (south africa) we got blessed with 'load shedding'. i.e the state owned power utility Eskom, switch of our electricity for 2.5 hours up to x3 a day. As there is not enough capacity.

So one huge advantage of laptops are a)they run on batteries

b) If you do need to run the laptop of an inverter(i dare not say ups) its much easier to power for longer.
I don't like it because it tends to combine two distinct characters into one (visually). A great example is '<=' being transformed into '≤' (Pragmata Pro[1] does this) I expect to see two characters, but instead I see one and expect to see a syntax error.

All the cities of the world can't have that because quite a few of them do not have the geological conditions to be tunneled under on a large scale.

In others there are issues with digging up old stuff that's archaeologically relevant, like any time something is dug in Rome.

And any place with such a system also needs its economy/commerce to be "expensive" enough to justify such an investment. In Switzerland that works because it's pretty much one of the most expensive places on the planet.
That's a fair stance but also worth mentioning that System76's logo on the Lemur laptop is a sticker and very easy to remove. I removed mine the first day I used it.
> It’s a feed of other people’s random thoughts, often unfiltered, presented to you without value judgement — even when a value judgement may be wise.

You expect the platform to make the value judgement? If I subscribe to a feed, whatever the platform - twitter, rss - it's because I trust the author that feed to make that value judgement. If I wanted someone else to make that judgement, I'd subscribe to their feed instead.
Sorta. I like having flexibility and staying dynamic. I will often jump back and forth between my desk (M1 Mac mini) and my laptop (MacBook pro) to wander around my house on the couch or sometimes outside if the weather is nice.

Having your compute/dev take place on a separate box and using these machines as thin clients helps too. My personal machines are mostly just editors now, not running any hefty code processes.
That's not local variables, that's a global conspiracy. And it's an unfalsifiable cop-out to the problem.
Oh funny I was looking at this the other day, didn’t realize it was a new thing. Their laptops smare tempting. I assume they are better built than the mass produced stuff.
Yes if everybody should live in their own real estate. There are superbly working economies where this is not true for many decades for various reasons (ie Switzerland) and they do just fine and people are happy, just focus on more important matters in life.

There are many arguments against urban sprawl which is direct consequence of such approach.
That’s the whole point of it. You get excellent tested comparability and support. For Linux users like me it’s worth the money. I can have Linux and not worry about if my hardware is compatible with the default install.

You are paying for support and to make it easy.

But scale, as they sell more one assumes the markup will decrease.
At a certain point everything you build is on the shoulders of others. You didn’t invent the language you’re coding in, you didn’t write the libraries and frameworks you’re using.

What you did do is integrate them in novel ways to create a unique system that no one else has.
But it was already illegal to interfere with police.... They don't need this law...
I love this one! It freaks out my coworkers when they see it, but it's very readable and aesthetically pleasing.

Actually, the default is overflow I now realize. But there is also automatic promotion, so:

0 + typemax(UInt8)+ typemax(UInt8)
510

While adding UInt8 first, then an implicit Int64 causes overflow:

typemax(UInt8)+ typemax(UInt8)
254

(ie: 255 overflows to 254 - or is promoted and sums to 510)

That may be the case in companies without proper responsibility distinction but in those with (usually the bigger ones), not even small decisions are made solely by software engineers. They are always double checked by the Product Management because any requested change has to come from the Product Management and has to be signed-off by them. In a company like Zoom everything you are seeing in the UI isn’t the result of something that slipped through solely by the engineer but was reviewed and thought out by multiple people who don’t touch the code.
Except that isn't what it is for. It's so when someone is being lawfully detained, you don't get 30 people circling the officer(s) shouting things and exciting one another, while recording and blocking view and the movement of officers.

It's purely a safety thing. You don't want random people close to you while you are dealing with something

These videos can be graphic:

- Here protestors drag an officer into the crowd and savagely beat him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le07VPqBZ58

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw3F91w6D78 here is a video of onlookers recording agitating one another, several of which are standing in the street and blocking police vehicles.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71wdrhKzuys here a man that had been harassing local businesses and patrons all day charges a guardsman (who's an off-duty police officer) and the crowd starts surrounding him, recording, shouting things, agitating, when another bystander jumps to the guardsman's defense and now you've got multiple hostile people getting more and more agitated while the guardsman waits for uniformed police to come take the guy that tried to assault him, tried to damage his car, was harassing others, etc.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H40vEOOs5z0 here are protestors, standing around filming each other, assaulting a motorcycle officer on his motorcycle as he tries to drive away from them

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvDwWSl-sVE here officers try to restrain a felon, in felony possession of a firearm, that had tried to assault officers while a felon unlawfully possessing a firearm, as people surrounded them to hold their phones as close to them as possible to take footage, then as 3 of them try to subdue the suspect that continued, while armed, to try and resist then has to escalate to non-lethal violence of gasp punching the guy to try to get him to submit. At 3:42 an onlooker throws a full trash can at the officers that are actively trying to handcuff an ARMED FELON that is fighting tooth and nail to escape.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdFsumyHLXo guy on a roof of a business hops down, then retrieves a handgun and aims it at officers, the officers start issuing commands while a bystander walks into the officer's line of fire filming and occasionally shouting things (go to 4:20 and you can see them just right of 12 o'clock.)

Etc.

It's hard enough to deal with a life or death situation without an angry mob of people standing around shouting shoving their phone in your face.
That's what I got as well: ACR ResQLink -- you register it with NOAA every 2 years, I can't find anywhere listing the price, I think it's $50 or $75. It then talks to NOAA satellites to send out your distress call and location. The device itself when I got it was $250, looks like they are $350ish now.

The downside is there is basically nothing other than "I need rescue" that you can do with the device. You turn it on and a rescue team shows up.
Ironically my need for glasses due to old age means I get magnification and can read smaller fonts on smaller screens!
To a real estate agent, it's always the perfect time to buy. Market is up? "Buy before prices rise!" Market is down? "Buy while prices are low!"

There are training classes you can take to get your agent's license, so entering the field is pretty straightforward. There are usually a lot of part-time agents who make enough off each sale to justify staying in the field. And a very few who have worked their way up to selling high-dollar properties and make quite a lot of money. It's customary for a sale to have 6% realtor fees, split between the selling and buying agents. So the more a house sells for, the more they make. A falling market will drive some agents out of the field.

Prior to deregulation, all news organizations were required by law to present both sides of the story fairly — after it, the were not. Without deregulation, Fox as is would not have been legally possible. Policy was explicitly pushed by Regan’s executive team at the FCC and Regan vetoed bill passed by US Congress to over turn it; if that’s not the definition of being politically driven, not sure what is, given Supreme Court had already ruled FCC was allowed to enforce fairness in the media.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine

Without fairness being legally regulated, media will never gain the public’s trust again — which at this point is unlikely because the government has become so corrupted by its own self interest to do so; this includes governments preferring monopolies in industries that relate to national security such as media & telecommunications. Decline in the public’s trust is not a result of fair media not being trustworthy, but of biased media intentionally sowing distrust.

I have repeatedly seen individuals who lean towards biased sources be more biased when presented with fair accounts of news events. On flip side, my experience is that individuals seeking balanced accounts of news events tend to be more fair when accessing the events.
I’m frustrated by the trendy dark pattern of saying “$9 per month if you pay annually”. If you’re going to be deceptive, why not go the whole way - “1 cent per minute”.
I would be surprised if not all lenders / investors did not ask for such data. Especially, after the first tweets from Musk.

Musk did go around knocking on lots of doors to get money and I am not sure if he actually managed to get enough funds; I don't think personally it is a good deal without some internal fundamental data to prove otherwise.

Of course, I am puzzled also that Twitter gave him a smidge of a way out.

If you really want to be prepared to use a radio in an emergency you need to know how to use it well. Being able to construct an improvised antenna and knowing the basics of RF and propagation will make all the difference.

The US MCRP 8-10b.11 Antenna Handbook is a great starting point.
Show HN: Giving away my Notion brand guidelines template
I've created my first Notion template to make it easier for anyone to organize their brand guidelines.

Instead of spending lots of time and money on a brand management service (such as Frontify), you can actually do everything in Notion.

All I'm looking for is your feedback to improve the template before it's officially released.

Have a great weekend!

If you maintain similar stopping patterns you can get higher than that on a two-track railway - metro services can do 25tph,30tph or even slightly more.

From December the west coast mainline is bringing in a roughly pre-covid timetable. The railway is a 4 track railway, but looking at just the fast tracks leaving Euston, there will be 13 departures an hour on the fast lines

3tph Manchester
3tph Birmingham fast
2tph Liverpool
1tph Chester and North Wales
1tph Glasgow
1tph Crewe via Trent Valley stops
2tph Birmingham via Northampton (switch from the fast lines to the slow lines after about half an hour)

None of these are high speed - I'm currently on a train to Manchester and my phone says we're doing about 125mph (200km/h). HS2 is a more reasonable 200mph.

To be fair, Accela Washington-New York-Boston is more akin to the London-York-Edinburgh services which are only 2tph, or 31 trains per day (44 run as far as York, but only 31 continue to Edinburgh)

The frequency on the WCML can't be higher as some of those trains are non-stop as far as places like Stoke, Crewe, or even Warrington (about 90-110 minutes out of Euston), where others do stop at places like Watford, Milton Keynes and Rugby.

The full proposed timetable from Dec 2022 is here: https://railforums.co.uk/threads/december-2022-timetable-cha... which might be at https://files.smallpdf.com/files/e54b2d4e9c7a08be02a4be30522...

(In addition to the 5 trains per hour to Birmingham above, there is another one or two from a different London station - Marylebone, and there's a handful of additional trains from Euston to Edinburgh via Birmingham)
The Hunt for Eliza: AI and the Origins of Symbolic Computing
he's mostly a fraudster who has used a cult of personality and litigation to dominate the businesses that he's involved in. check out the litigation against him for the solar city purchase by Tesla if you're interested in just how much the man is willing to defraud shareholders to personally enrich himself and his family.
The US is a $20 trillion economy. Russia is sweeping through Ukraine at an impressively slow rate considering how little we are supporting them relative to the size of our economy.
It is not particularly convincing in the last part, the most relevant part: our own selfish interests in prioritizing people related to us over those not related, close to us over those far from us, and so on. It does a lot of handwaving around environmental interconnectedness but it doesn't add up to much of an argument if you don't fully buy the whole ecosystem thing, and if you do buy that, we should be paying more attention to bees than farm animals.
Well this isn't exactly a currently-standing fence, so the metaphor falls down.

It's more like someone coming upon their neighbor complaining about a mutual neighbor and their fence and offering them advice for the next confrontation with the neighbor.
A government with the ability to issue new money is not comparable.

Social security can exist or not exist, the relevant question will be what kind of purchasing power will the social security benefit have at some point in the future, and that is completely dependent upon politics.
This isn’t 2008, at this point I think people are underestimating the speculative home buyer. The people who are buying houses now are more likely people looking to build rental income cash cows.

In a world where productivity is somewhat slowing after massive growth, people are taking to rent seeking activity and the disincentives aren’t there to encourage productive behavior.

Why buy and sell when you can buy, charge rent, and pass down to your kids?
