Messing around the edge://flags to toggle native notification on or off, I remembered that the default notification mode has bug currently. Also ensure you grant it permission of notification in system setting. That isn't done by default.
why should content creators have to go through a centralized website like Patreon in order to get value from their consumers, giving Patreon a cut in the process? sure it's (for now) more straightforward for end-users, but as a content creator you're locking yourself into the Patreon Platform, you're building (at least some subset of) your content and your business around it being specifically "Patreon content". I'm generally wary of anything cryptocurrency but Podcasting 2.0 seems like an absolutely solid use-case of Bitcoin and Lightning—anything that helps to prevent centralized platform lock-in for content creators should be applauded!
For some reason we don't have distilled water quite so readily available in the UK. I have absolutely no idea why.
RvW is an interesting point here - I routinely saw people camped out recording every entry point of a Planned Parenthood for example, including separate cameras pointed lower to capture licence plates. I'm assuming they later post these online or run some kind of ALPR on it for harassment.
Install a windows VM. Run teams in the VM. Problems mostly solved, although teams is flaky when run natively under windows anyway.
A physical mask that blocks the view to the hot neighbour, but not to your areas of interest would give them some reassurance.
There are some semi-trustless systems that work with escrows [0]. But realistically, an arbitration system does indeed require a trusted party.

There is no trustless world, just a world where trustless is an option and where "trustful" systems can be built on trustless foundations.

[0] Those systems give some guarantees about the trusted party (e.g. that they can't just run with the money).
They certainly should be in theory.

There are basically two industries: grid, and residential. A massive plant like a car factory has a huge roof, they might be able to get the grid people to show up with their contracts.

Multi-family homes would probably be punted to the residential sector.

Part of the residential issue may be that the utilities are so balkanized across the US. If we had some national residential companies that could do aggressive negotiation and train and cost-cap installation...

Tesla solar was doing some interesting stuff with google maps for initial estimates, and the like. General Electric once upon a time before Jack Welch turned it into a hollowed-out zombie would have been another.

The power companies can't be trusted, fundamentally you'd be paying them to undermine their raison-de-etre: centralized power generation and central importance of the grid. No CEO looks at "hey, how about you distribute and lose control and ownership of your core product" and jumps at that thought. You need a well-funded external player.

Honestly, some company like Uber who DGAF about local regulations and has a playbook for providing a service with overwhelming value and using that to completely undermine the balkanized local regulations and entrenched power structures.

Uber sucks for many reasons, but the taxi services SUCKED and were local monopolies, and Uber pushed them to modernize to some degree.
It's amazing how you, knowing nothing about my stack/use-case can speak with such authority. Going as far as to assume that we must be in a "'downfall of the Roman Empire' phase" because I see value in magic links and because I don't want to implement password support, again, in a product you know nothing about.

I have a very good reason for picking magic links, also the codebase for my project does not ruse a framework (there exist no good ones in the space I'm in) but instead of being curious you decided to be condescending. Cool.
You can defend against this a little bit by having the magic link load a page with a button (which submits a POST action) that you have to click.
Vanguard notoriously calls mid-caps "small," e.g., VB. Anyway, they're not the ones who select S&P500 index components. I love Vanguard, but this is one case where they're kind of off-base.
A small suggestion: since the machines aren’t always comparable (eg Redshift) maybe it makes sense to allow the user to make a plot of ($/hr) vs query time? I realize this adds to the complexity, but most people in this space are making a trade off between (maintainability/ease-of-use, long-running costs, performance), and plotting the latter two would probably highlight the Pareto frontier.

It's probably illegal too. It's illegal in most states to record conversations unless you have consent from one or all parties in the conversation.
For me using Webpacker with rails was a nightmare in the last two years.

The move to 3->4 was painful as 25% of my projects started to move to 4 and no longer worked with 3. So I was stuck with some legacy packages during a time I was upgrading from Vue 2 -> 3. AFAIK they Rails didn't even get to Webpack 5 in practice by the time I left.

Vite came to the rescue at a perfect time.
I use a Dell laptop from 2017 with an AMD E2-6110 Quad core, SSD, 8GB memory and Debian 11 with an extra screen attached to the HDMI port. In this laptop I have Teams-Preview v1.5.00.100453 which I use heavily everyday for work (calendar, voice, video and chat). Teams takes about 30 seconds to start but after that just runs very well. No crashes, no issues with sound or video. Everything is responsive considering a laptop with such a slow processor.
I suppose you're right that it doesn't explicitly say a human is doing the review.

It says:

Review process

If you think this is an error, or if you've modified the file to comply with Google Drive's Terms of Service, you can request a review.

1. Your file will be reviewed

This file will remain restricted during the review.

2. A decision will be made

If the file is found to be safe, all restrictions will be removed and you’ll be able to use and share it with others. If it's found to be unsafe, the restrictions will remain in place.
Another missing point, and this happens frequently also in rigorous treatment-control studies, is the heterogeneity of responses to treatment. Say, 10k hours might be the average deliberate practice time needed to reach "expert level" (not true), but for some it can take 1k hours, for others 15k, for others infinite time (but they can drop off), and so on.
Almost all coins are money-grabs. At this stage I default to assuming a coin is a money grab, and expect them to convince me it's not. Maybe the person you were talking to is the same.
This is why I use local storage as my backup methods. Just upgraded my total storage capacity to 28TB with 3 copies. I may add cloud backups once I figure out how to make sure my uploads are encrypted, but owning your own storage is the only surefire way to make sure nobody else can play games with your data
I'd argue that means Clojure lets you use paradigms other than FP. FP is still FP.
Bash*

I got a book published with a bunch of community and personal findings as an "I wish I had known this earlier" kind of collection.

* Giant disclaimer: Bash is insanely complex, mostly for historical reasons. There are infinite ways of doing basically anything, and all of them have different trade-offs. The big one usually being between the complexity of the code and the kind of situations it can handle.
It does make business sense. Drive is facing serious abuse problems. See for example this article [0] for the other side of this coin. Google is trying to come up with automated solutions for shutting down 'abusive' items. The OP is an example of the automated solutions not working that well.

Wish more of these kinds of posts hit the front page. Tired of VC news dominating when indie hackers are building interesting small businesses like this that never get featured.
I've always felt that people use close to 100% of their brain capacity. Some people just don't have any surplus mental energy to spare to learn anything complicated; they would get angry and frustrated if they try; this emotional reaction is their brain telling them that it's too much. They do not have enough mental capacity for this and they will suffer negative mental consequences if they continue. Too much thinking can make some people crazy.

IMO most people are hardwired to be irrational; it's their evolutionary strategy. Irrationality is bad for the system but it's generally good for the individual. You need an irrational mind to be able to come up with ideas which will resonate with the average (irrational) person.
The problem of designing adaptively for different screen sizes (much less orientations) was one even VB6 had no answer for.
Your trash analogy doesn’t hold up because trash becomes “public” once it’s on the street which isn’t part of your property. “Publicly visible spot on my property” is a meaningless phrase; it’s still my property, and I’m legally (here at least) allowed to raise an objection to the recording of it.

I can’t and wouldn’t object to someone recoding the sidewalk in front of my house. I can, and absolutely will, object to someone recording my yard. You might not see a distinction but there absolutely is one.
More than techno: A history of electronic music (2021)
Off the top of my head, Generic Functions have these features:

1. Dynamic Dispatch

2. Multiple Dispatch

3. Auxiliary Methods

4. Namespace independent of specialization parameter(s)

I find it interesting that you focus on #4. People coming to Lisp complain about #4 a lot, and people leaving lisp complain about the lack of #4. If you aren't going to use multiple dispatch (which, empirically is rare in CL code), then #4 seems to be more a matter of what one is used to. Heck, when I program in a Lisp-1, I struggle with the semantic overhead of avoiding accidentally binding a variable that happens to be the name of a function.

Also, the fact that many Lispers end up writing GFs named things like widget-frobnicate and sprocket-frobnicate might indicate that coupling the namespace with the primary operand might not be completely unwanted.

Also, Python is almost certainly the worst offender with consistency here -- e.g. "len(x)" vs "x.len()".

P.S. C++, Javascript, and Python have libraries available implementing multiple dispatch.
After years of avoiding 'smart home' bs, I finally caved on a doorbell camera and a few other goodies. After doing a lot of research, this is the reason I avoided Ring.

I ended up landing on Eufy as it stores data locally. You're free to back it up, and cloud services are completely optional(I don't use them). No complaints, feel free to ask if anyone has questions.
So it seems that the only people who only use ten percent of their brain are those who think we only use ten percent of our brain.
To fix Teams formatting issue on MacOS once and for all you can go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->App Shortcuts, then add a new shortcut by pressing (+), choose "Application": "Microsoft Teams", "Menu title": "Paste and Match Style", "Keyboard Shortcut": "⌘V", and click "Add". Done!
>> Strider Technologies scours open-source data in China to identify technologies most at risk of being stolen — and the people who might be tempted to steal them. China’s government calls IP theft allegations ‘malicious slandering.’

ALL governments conduct espionage. Most governments will deny that they do it. China is no different in that respect.

>> Greg Levesque, Strider’s chief executive officer, said his company’s algorithms look for connections between people and Chinese government programs for recruiting engineers and scientists. The data the company compiles include lists of invited speakers to Chinese universities and government-sponsored conferences, and membership rosters of talent programs offering grants and other incentives to work in China, he said.

It is surprising how much you can discover and infer from publicly available information.
Nah, the person is a representation that is aware of itself, and requires a sort of neural network ,neural density and interconnectivity, that simply does not exist in peripheral sensory systems.
Why has crypto crashed when it was supposed to be inflation proof?
Was there a war in ukraine last year and a large energy crisis threatening europe?
Or that they are in cahoots with "The Government" and will gladly share any and all data through back channels because AWS has very freaking lucrative contracts with them.
It’s times like this that I’m really sad that I didn’t pursue an engineering degree :(.

I have made plenty of money, and live a very comfortable life, but I would really love to be able to work on projects like this.

I guess one option is to invest in companies like this.
That's a fair assessment. You could argue esbuild which it's built on is 'next generation' in terms of JS tooling, with how it integrates with ESM and HTTP2. But in practice this is basically Webpack 2.0 (not v2, but the evolution of it).
> The correct form would be "Me and Mel accused her".

No it isn't. You'd never say "Me accused her". If you don't like the inversion its perfectly fine to say "I and Mel accused her", but using "me" for the subject is never correct.
Hello Natural World

Google recruiters will get in touch regardless of whether you have a chance of passing the interview or there’s actually a role open that makes sense. Just went through 6+ weeks after passing their interview where they couldn’t find me a team, so took a job at another company.
Why not use Fed’s preferred measure PCEPI for longer term aggregate inflation adjustments? CPI is not adequate for long term adjustments for a variety of reasons.

The common capital market comparison for these equity returns is against real risk-free returns. That benchmark is largely missing here.
> where the "trustful" systems are built on trustless foundations.

You cannot build trust on a trustless foundation. As, again, the crypto world is busy rediscovering.
Reasonable, but your position if taken to extremes can lead to oppressive conformism - eg if you choose not to have or share footage from a security camera, you become an object of suspicion yourself. Relying on 'common sense legislation' assumes a level of probity which is often sadly lacking.
A lot of hate for Teams in the comments. I don't like it either, but it's the best big Microsoft (end-user) app I'm aware of.

It's not well designed, it is glitchy as hell - the other stuff is just worse. I was ecstatic when my work place added the calendar app to Teams because unlike Outlook that actually managed to do simple operations without freezing, crashing and reloading all the time.

Big tech's software quality standards are appalling. It's as if your bank's elevators don't have walls and everything smells like piss.

I'd also like to note that Teams calls are actually surprisingly stable and work better for me than most other options.
The items "A serious take on a contract-based language" & "A language with semantic relations" are covered pretty nicely by Ada's SPARK subset/tools... and the really great thing is that the "aspects" are part of the code and don't "go stale" like annotated comments do.
"Roll you own" seems to be interpreted differently in the comments. Absolutely implement existing ciphers/algorithms like AES/RSA/ECC (and various modes of operation/padding) etc. to get a feeling of how they work, and just don't deploy them in production. You'll definitely get a lot from that. Great way to learn while reading the corresponding papers.

What you probably shouldn't do is try to come up with your own encryption scheme/mode of operation/padding scheme and think you've learned something valuable. By all means, try that as well, but know that you've now entered the really dangerous territory.
I don't believe the OP has lost the work - looks like sharing has been disabled.

It's still pretty sucky.
Interesting, thanks! I figured the thickness was just a function of physics and couldn't be changed, but I wasn't aware of the difference in refractive index.
>So if it's all the same

It's not the same, as the evidence I just posted proves. That you don't care to learn it is telling. The string evidence that things were worse is what led every country to switch to central banking.

Or are you that much smarter than every economist and banker on the planet? Maybe you should post a paper with your evidence. Overturning over a century of data across hundreds of countries would make you famous.

>Only if you are getting pay raises. We know the workers return on productivity has stagnated since 1970

First, the "only if you are getting pay raises" is false. It would depend on the loan and wage.

Also, your two claims do not even make logical sense. Either they got pay raises or incomes did not remain flat. (Hint: they got pay raises, AND they got increases in total remuneration, which includes things besides wages. And yes, wages are flat, but remuneration and total cost to employ (both data series the BLS tracks which you can check yourself) have increased).

Want proof of all this? It took me one google of "do wages match inflation over time", and this [1] from the first page provides historical graphs showing exactly what I claimed.

So yes, people did get raises to match inflation (which is trivially checkable), their effective loan payments did decrease.

Please at least put in some effort to check the numerical evidence before you post more stuff you just pull from god knows where.

>Lowering the cost to borrow by volume mostly helps finance: big corporate bonds, and financial instruments like shorts and options

You apparently have no idea the difference between cost to borrow and inflation. The cost to borrow is the interest rate - no one knows future inflation well enough to make a loan with such wizardry. Higher than expected inflation simply helps borrowers and costs lenders. Inflation the other direction works in the opposite direction.

But cost to borrow and inflation are completely different things.

Since you're just making stuff up, please provide decent sources (not opinion blogs - decent polling or data places are good) for any further claims. You're too untrustworthy for me to waste more time on.

Google doesn't seems to do fewer TOS checks unless they are shared with other people.
The historical thought was that videophones would be these discrete electronic devices and instead they kept shrinking and getting cheaper until now where it only costs a few more dollars to add a camera and a microphone to any electronic device.
Lets have no illusions. Teams is the absolute worst I have seen for teams. Basically every other tool I tried worked better.

However, Slack isn't that much better. It still gaslights Firefox users and tells them their browser is not supported. What a nice way to put it, that after friggin' years, they still have not managed to implement voice chat in a standard conform way. Discord and others have had this for years! Only Slack and Teams (in browser) seem to have incapable development teams behind them, who are comfortable with gaslighting unsuspecting users into using Chromium-based browsers, furthering web mono-culture.

There are so many issues with Teams, that I am wondering, what they are even working on. Surely they cannot be bugfixing all day, if so many bugs remain after years. We've had 2-3 years of pandemic now. What the heck are they doing!? They could have made the business. Instead they shove this broken thing down our throats and time will come, when people will just run away screaming, just like they did with Skype. Another business opportunity of MS ruined by bad quality software output.

Stuff like that should get banned immediately, before it can harm the web any more, than it already has.
But will anyone actually enforce the law?

I haven't been following this very closely, but my assumption is that the proliferation of recording devices have rendered these laws impractical to enforce, thus somewhat moot.

My pet theory is that the rising cost of housing is responsible for the vast majority of economic disruption over the last 20 years (for everyone, even home owners.)

Service/factory/teaching/childcare/eldercare jobs don't pay enough to buy a house and renting has become highly predatory, so anyone who can get out of those professions and into finance/tech/marketing (often useless but high paying jobs) will do it. The people who stay in those professions get burnt out and deeply frustrated.

It feels like most of the jobs that provide inherent, tangible benefits to society don't pay enough to provide a stable life.

The Strange Case of the Fake Indian Premier League
You could do that. The cheapest and easiest option is just to get yard signs saying that you are recording 24/7. Nest, Ring, and others sell there. There are plenty of generic ones too. If you want to use video cameras as a deterrent, you need to make sure people think you actually have them.

I sometimes see people with their cameras pretty well hidden. That's not going to work as a deterrent!
Is this the case for most careers, because it seems to me it's a software industry issue. Maybe this applies elsewhere, but is it to the same extent? Are the best civil engineers the ones that think like investors? How about nuclear physicists or airplane mechanics?

> I have a rule that any engineering work must have a minimum of 2x of the rewards to justify the cost. If I spend a month migrating, it has to save me two months of time to payoff.

That's not engineering though, it's management and/or business. Why study years and years of how computers work, to then think about people and business problems? It's just interesting to me that it's a common industry expectation.
Oh, is that all? A complete solution to energy?
