> Except Buddhism is also a philosophy of action, and a set of guides for correct action. Acting rightly entails seeing rightly, and so Buddhism includes an appreciation for and guide towards empirical inquiry. This was always terrifying to authority figures, and Asia only didn't develop modern science first because Buddhist logic and experimentation were among the casualties of The Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars.

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations includes a sentence that, in a translation I read long ago and no longer have, read something like:

"You can pass your life in calm flow of happiness—if you learn to think the right way, and to act the right way."

It took me way too long to realize that the "think the right way" is, by far, the easier part, and how dangerous it can be without the "act the right way". It also feels better. Fresher. Trendier. The "act the right way" looks and feels an awful lot like following all the advice your grandpa gave you. Very "gods of the copy-book headers" stuff. And isn't as immediately gratifying as the "think the right way" bit.

You are correct. I’m the same. Our emails are even pretty good. Our UX is pretty damn good. Somehow we dropped the ball here.
Bootstrap it with a shorter password:

1. Have the display show a 5-digit PIN (TOTP or something that changes every minute or few)

2. Let anyone connect to your network, if they go to a browser window it will show the capture portal

3. Enter the 5-digit PIN and press "enter" and the page will show the 30-digit password so the user can copy+paste

4. User pastes password into WiFi screen and logs in

Make sure to rate-limit this endpoint to prevent random PIN attacks.
I develop Windows client software and I need to debug and profile that software, so I need to work on Windows. And, the development tools on Windows are excellent so I'm happy to do that. So, I want bugs like this fixed.

It doesn't sound like you read the book. Before dismissing it, I suggest taking a look at it. It costs $1.38. Not really a big investment in something that could make you wealthy. It's well worth it even if it has only one good idea you can use in it.

I'm in an Airbnb and the access point has the same name for 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Apple doesn't let you manually switch. The only way I've found to switch when one is not working is to toggle the wifi on/off fifty times.

I think there must be some sort of crazy interference going on because I can literally be sitting right next to the router and 5ghz has about 5k of bandwidth available.

Frustrations with Spotify:

1. I used to actively look forward to my weekly recommendations. By the end, they were recommending music that was already in my most played. And lots of generic indie folk crap that all sounded the same. I didn't seem to be able to convince it that I didn't like it.

2. I'd search for specific albums by specific artists and get guided instead to playlists.

3. Forcing it to play an album in the original order was strangely difficult when playing on a smart speaker.

4. Downloaded music wouldn't play on a device with poor internet. Sat on a train enough times unable to listen to music that I used VLC instead.

5. It sometimes took 20-30 seconds (and even a restart of the app) to get it to play a track. On a newish iPad (same on iPhone) and decent internet.

Spotify's whole mission seems now to be less about appealing to music lovers, and more about generating a constant background noise.
Not really. If my phone is locked, I don't expect it to start something (except phone calls) until I unlock it. Stock apps are generally useful, but I don't use my smartphone for long enough periods to get frustrated.

Thanks, what about using them on Linux desktop?
The thing is, you take that lesson, try to speak up another time, and the executive flies off the handle at your boss about some perceived sidestepping of the hierarchy.

I have caught the good and the bad from speaking up but the universal message is to always keep your mouth shut...and that's why we can't have nice things.

I power through and speak up usually, but most people are deathly afraid to because of the spoken/unspoken "keep your mouth shut" cultural message born of hierarchies. Toxic, and probably the reason people flee corporate life ASAP.
> Our results suggest a perverse impact; while there is no significant reduction in grid stress over superpeak hours, such calls lead to increased off ̇-peak generation, CO2 emissions, and price volatility. We postulate that consumer attempts at load shifting lead to this result.

ERCOT, the energy utility regulator in Texas, has twice requested this summer that consumers conserve energy to prevent brownouts. This paper suggests that this actually increases grid stress, as consumers rush to prepare for a potential electric outage.

Correctness bugs are just one type of bug. Performance bugs are another type.

The designation of what should be counted as a bug is less clear for performance bugs but if some operation is slower than it could/should be, and if this slowdown is significant enough to matter, and if fixing the slowdown is quite practical then, yeah, I would definitely call it a bug. I have filed many bug reports for performance issues over the years, and many of them have been addressed.

An entire piece on Buddhism and corporations doesn't use the word "suffering" once.
This is great, I look for companies like these locally. When covid started, a lot of people in my community were out of work, or experiencing a drop in customer patronage. I decided to help these businesses best, I should make a contract with myself to always look for someone in my friend group who produces or services something first, then the wider local community, then the state, and so on. Much to my surprise I've only had to go to Amazon once, for an obscure component that isn't known to be produced in my locality.

Through this, I've ended up with a lot of ancillary benefits and connections. The interaction is so much more pleasant this way, I don't think I'll go back. They're delivering a consisting product or service, and I'm predictable as a customer as a result. Here's an example: when I walk into the meat shop, they know I'm going to be there, so when something unique or special comes in, they have something set aside that they knew I'd want. They always have a recipe too or something they made to share. To me, that's service.

You don't have to be my best man or fishing buddy, you just have to acknowledge the reciprocal relationship we have.
Yeah, in this mode the CPU will just work 10 times slower.
> She says that meditation is for some monastic elites

She did not quite say that. She said that it was only practiced by monastic elites up until the early 20th century:

"Meditation was not at all a mainstream lay practice in Buddhism. It only became popular in the early twentieth century, when Buddhist reformers such as the Burmese monk Mahasi Sayadaw, founder of modern Vipassana meditation, promoted it as a lay Buddhist practice. Mindfulness, as it was practiced for most of its history in Asia, was a very elite practice reserved only for advanced monastics."
Be amusing to set the corporate and capital gains tax based on employee compensation. The less you pay you employees the higher the rate.
That is incorrect. The famous Hubble Ultra Deep Field image[1] took 11.3 days of imaging spread over four months (because of high demand to use Hubble). However, that is a different part of the sky. The Hubble image shown here was taken as part of RELICS[2], a survey of images to find good candidates for JWST to image, and was only exposed for 1.7 hours (5 orbits at ~20 minutes each), compared to JWST's exposure time of 12.5 hours. So comparisons between between Hubble and JWST for that particular shot are not fair to Hubble.

Maybe? You could also assume that the attack will get faster in the future.

Sidechannel attacks like this are situationally impactful. Most desktop users don't have to care about security much at all on Linux. Further, they probably don't have to care about any privescs. But some people have threat models that change that.
I understand the disagreement about pay to join. A social network needs to pay its bills somehow and there are 2 methods - users pay or advertisers pay. Or I suppose with sites like youtube its both (users buying stuff with affiliate links, etc.) Pay to join eliminates the need for viral/global messaging which is the draw to get advertisers. Influencers and the like is just bullshit and it promotes look-at-me behavior which is pretty anti-social. I’d argue those types of people are really noisy and fewer in number than casual social network users.

Maybe there is some middle ground where its free for users and advertisers can pay to advertise but there won’t be the viral content that advertisers want. One approach could be the local groups that naturally form - book clubs, mom’s groups, gamers, etc. could be tagged as such so an advertising model can happen.
Twitter hurt themselves by not being able to hand over crucial details like how big the percentage of bot accounts is on the platform. No matter what is being said, as long as Twitter can't hand over these stats, all they say is worthless. About as worthless as the Twitter platform itself.

Booking.com was acquired by Priceline for 100M in 2005. Now it's >80% of value and revenue of the parent company. By that logic, booking's value peaked over 80b$.

I was there from 2010-2017. The philosophy of the holdings was to let its constituent companies execute independently and even compete (this included Priceline.com, Agoda, Kayak, rentalcars.com, OpenTable, etc). Therefore the culture of booking.com remained fairly intact for a very long time.
That's a very subjective statement. It's difficult to find evidence for, let alone prove.

I cannot say I am surprised by the great quality of the build and the resulting images, it's Leica. They are expensive but they surely deliver. "Not surprised", but still, it's really good.

The EVF though was laggy, had weird focus picking/assist in manual mode, weird blueish white balance, the artificial depth of field preview ... I am sure it's featureful and better than the competition but I did not enjoy the experience, which is usually the brand trademark, rangefinder and so on.

I found the Fuji X100 hybrid EVF/OVF approach more pleasing.

Me not understanding the appeal doesn't mean others can't though. I wish you all the best with this camera.
Good luck with that! I just spent an evening watching a commercial TV channel (in UK) and every other commercial was for booking your holiday by air. Deserted beaches, only ones at the pool, no restaurant queues.. wonderful! If you can get a flight. Yes, I realise buying ad slots are bought well in advance, but there's something dishonest about this.

> There's no way to pay Medium to promote your content on their platform ?

That's not something I saw when I used Medium in 2018ish for some of my posts.

I know there was a partner program but that wasn't paying to get traffic to your posts. That was a mechanism to get paid based on how much engagement you had on your Medium articles. It's just another incentive to get you to drive your own traffic and audience to Medium to drive up Medium engagement. Basically helping Medium grow their business.

If you wanted to pay money to promote your content you can do that without Medium. You can buy ads on Google and other outlets then run ads to your blog posts. I don't do that personally but it's an option.

> I think there is some middle ground to find.

Well, I agree.

On one extreme, we have the clearly unreasonable position that popular audio and video codecs can only be implemented by proprietary software, so that open-source software can never implement them, and the majority of our audiovisual culture goes down the memory hole when that proprietary software stops working.

On the other extreme, we have the clearly unreasonable position that when a patent office grants a patent on an audio or video codec, we should kill the patent examiner and inventors, vaporize the country's capital and large cities with a thermonuclear holocaust, and hunt down and kill any relatives of the inventors and patent examiner who survive elsewhere, flaying them and hanging them upside down from gas-station awnings to rot as a warning to others.

This is unreasonable because, among other things, the inventors may have had no way to know that the patent would ultimately read on software implementations. Also, though it's understandable to want to make an exception in this case, the Geneva Conventions strictly prohibit collective punishment.

As a middle ground, I suggest that we merely criminalize attempts to enforce patents against software of any kind, following the model of SLAPP laws. We should levy fines as a percentage of the plaintiff's revenues and disbar the lawyers who filed the lawsuits, with six months to a year of prison time for the officers of the company, or for an individual if the plaintiff is an individual.

By contrast, your extremist proposal of allowing patentholders to block software implementations of international standards unless they are paid, that is clearly absurd, as it imposes a completely unreasonable burden on the open-source maintainers who are the backbone of modern software.

Since the attack method depends heavily on details of the indirect branch predictor obtained through reverse engineering, it is very likely that the code must be adapted to each different microarchitecture.

His point would apply equally to people who do that except for one problem. Whether or not the player understands it, every game is either rigged for or against the player.

The primitives on which this is built are cool. Fastify and Vite are two projects I love. The moment I see TailwindCSS added as an opinionated default, I nope right out. Tailwind is one hype-train I can't wait to see run out of steam. I've been around enough years to see a lot of things that we thought were GREAT ideas, turn into "what were we thinking?" I believe we'll be doing the same with Tailwind in 3 years. "Why oh why did we think annotating all of our HTML elements with a bunch of class names - some which represent rule-value pairs, was a _good_ idea???" This viewpoint makes me very unpopular obviously. But it's a hill I've chosen to die on. It's bad DX and it's worse for maintenance. I welcome a lot of downvotes... but let's revisit this in 3 years and have a candid conversation about it. I'll gladly admit it if I was wrong. But I wasn't wrong about AngularJS, Bootstrap and a litany of jQuery plugins. And JS developers fiercely defended each of those at one point as "the one true way".
