Keep in mind that all three of these companies provide support primarily to customers who have paid them. If you are on the phone with Apple about being locked out of an account, you have likely spent at least several hundred dollars buying their devices.
Cocaine has a lot of users, too. Should we legalize it?
It’s indicative of structural limitation and is not necessarily any reflection on the innate humanity or lack thereof of participants in Google.

Google has designed itself to be psychopathic from a human frame of reference because it is more streamlined (profitable) to be psychopathic. It is a product of its environment.

Nah. I work long hours and still find time to cook. Dinner takes about 15 mins to prepare, on average. I think the issue has more to do with people not knowing how to cook things that are both simple and nutritious.

I really feel for people who are trying to learn; every beginner's cookbook is full of things that require specific ingredients, complicated prep work, or a shit-ton of chopping.

I've toyed around with the idea of writing a cookbook of my own, but _that_ is something I truly do not have time for. Ah well :/
There's nothing useful to deploy it on though--the 'future soldier' concept of the 90s never went anywhere (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Soldier) and we don't have a computer platform on every soldier. IMHO I'd stick to using machine learning to detect stealth aircraft and missiles to improve intercepting them.
As a layman non-scientist, I wonder why we see so many relatively low-value observational studies in diet/nutrition, often with results that get contradicted or fail to replicate a few years later.

What would prevent us from doing a study like this: take 1000 diverse subjects, assign each of them a lab assistant, and for 2+ years, diligently track everything they eat, their exercise, sleep, etc. You could pay each participant and staff $100k/each, and the cost would be on the order of $400MM.

May not be epistemologically perfect given that people change their behavior when observed, but still superior to plenty of the stuff getting published now, and likely the knowledge gained for humankind would be worth many billions.
I'd like to hear more about the study design / quality of the science.

How are they correcting for correlation between the ability to afford the more money-expensive or more time-expensive ends of rich people with experts that cook for them, and health nuts (or suffers of seriously annoying allergies) that cook for themselves even though it's more time expensive?
yeah lets gender cooking now too in the effort to...?
And tbh, it really does take time to prepare a good meal, including washing dishes and all that. For those of us living alone it takes a good chunk of our free time after work.
Then so be it, that's perfectly fine. I'm the last to say people should throw their money out the window when there are better options around.
> I was worried about the speed of react-native querying a 21MB SQLite database.

I often have similar concerns when writing code. Then I remember that "normal" applications send the query over the network to another continent, where a server has to query a HUGE database, and relay the result back.

It's amazing how we have such powerful devices, but are so accustomed to underestimating their capacity.
Art is often characterized by the specific objectives set by the artist. An automatic computer algorithm to handle the exposure will only typically have one (or a few) preprogrammed set(s) of objectives, thus it adds a constraint to the artist. Great art can be made either way though.

For a beginner I agree learning the intricacies of exposure may not be one of the most pressing concerns, or particularly relevant in many cases, but if someone wants to get more into the hobby for whatever reason (artistic or otherwise) it isn't a bad idea to start experimenting with exposure settings even if the results aren't initially good.
Thanks! This tracks my experience, good to hear it somewhat justified with data.

I've had a lot of fun with my StarFive VisionFive board, it has mainline Linux support so I don't need to worry about them disappearing.

> The city is optimized to make travel distances as long as possible.

On the other hand, it's also optimized to reduce the number of dimensions of travel from 2 to 1.

You never have to transfer from an east-west train to a north-south train (or vice versa). Literally everything is on your route.

Transfers add time to your trip because instead of waiting for a train, boarding, and deboarding once, you do all of that twice. Your trip time isn't just time riding on the train. It's all that other stuff, too. (You probably still do have some transfers with local and express trains. That's an issue in 2D rail systems, too, but it's probably worse in 1D because of increased travel distances.)

Combined trips also become easier. If two destinations lie in the same direction from your starting point, then one of them is directly on the way to the other.

I'm not saying it's necessarily a net win, but it's at least a trade-off.

A VM provides better isolation than a container as it has a separate kernelspace. Hence the DevOps mantra "containers don't contain".
>It says Congress, but looking at the submitted bills, there's only 1 party involved in the authoring and sponsoring of said bills.

This seems like a nitpick to me. Most non-trivial pieces of legislation gets passed along partisan lines (for instance[1]), yet we still say that "congress" passed it. Same goes with congress failing to pass some piece of legislation.

Read a bit of your code. Seems most magic happens around xLock / xUnlock implementation (which were used to identify a txn).

I wonder if SQLite should expose one layer up (on the actual pager level). A lot of attempts (such as yours, or LiteFS) try to construct the pager / txn concept from VFS layer as well, which seems to be one layer lower than actually is.

Things are worth what others are actually willing to pay, there is no such thing as a metaphysical true worth.

Yes we do, that's literally what a marketcap is. People who are sure it isn't correct can beat against it and profit in the correction.
That's why I proposed linking to existing services: Google doesn't want to open an office in Podunk, but they could very plausibly setup a way to allow agencies like DMVs, libraries, maybe the VA or post office, notaries, etc. to use some kind of “I attest that person X showed me photo ID matching the information on account Y” web app. This could be really useful paired with things like senior centers whose residents are far more likely to need help.
Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena And Explanations, Where Possible
Probably not, because the wording is “from a political campaign”.

Of course, unless it comes with a trusted official “do forward spam” registry, it could jeopardize all anti-spam efforts.
I find it very interesting that they're using Debian Testing as essentially a rolling-release distro. I did this in the past for a few years, and stopped (switched to Fedora), but I am pleased to see there is at least one other group of people who think that's a reasonable setup.
The sorry state is that a chain is not stronger than the weakest link. And a food is not healthier than the worst ingredient/compound. A "good" nutrient does not make up for the bad/ultra processed additives.

Stay off the granola bar with high fructose corn syrup.

It is more important to avoid the bad anti-nutrients than to eat a particular food for a certain "miracle" nutrient.
I think it depends on what the priorites are. I care a lot about my own systems but when I'm working I really don't want to have to care about anything but the activity I'm getting paid for.
Well, "Kubernetes didn't really have much effect on my business" doesn't really make for an interesting or memorable post.

No, that’s pure bullshit, for exactly the reasons I explained. What PH do you think pure water has, exactly?
I suspected as much. Selling new heat pumps from vendors in other NATO countries probably wouldn't help much but it could match Germany's installation ability and would be of some help.
No, regular users definitely prefer web pages over interactive websites.

With webpages, any delays make intuitive sense and are accepted by the user. With an interactive web app, the web app gets blamed for any delays or latency because there is no full-page refresh.
That doesn't mean you should dissuade posters. This issue is very serious.
FWIW, you can easily have that (separate build directories) with make(1), it’s just that’s it’s not the default.
If this were discovered the library as their employer would necessarily have sufficient personal information to prosecute them. That’s a lot more risk than your typical online scammer has.
Rules of thumb:

1. Don't buy meals; buy ingredients.

2. The longer the list of ingredients, the more likely it is to be "highly" processed

3. The way you avoid 'highly' processed stuff is to avoid processing altogether. Buy corn you have to husk, meat you have to cut, fish you have to filet, wine you have to uncork, bread you have to slice, etc.
Nobody has ever said this to you in your entire life
Yeah, I found this very confusing. It didn't clarify what state it was locked at. Was it an older state, or a new one with several edits incorporated?

This leaves people to make their own conclusions based on the priors.

Untreated ADHD is a common cause of anxiety
1. In terms of sales volume, macs are an also-ran. Lenovo, HP, and Dell each ship more laptops than Apple. I'm traveling now, at my Uncle's house with many family members visiting; there are:

- 2 Surface Pros

- 2 Dell Laptops

- 1 HP Laptop

- One mac Laptop

2. Apple is clearly positioned as a luxury brand; it's fine to object to calling BMW an also-ran to Toyota or Ford. The Atari 8-bit systems were at least priced mid-ranged, so I'm not sure that applies here. The expansion bus was positioned as easy-to-use, but that's about the only parallel I can think of.

3. There were other 8-bit computers; C64 doesn't make up the entirety of the market; The Apple II sold 5M; the TRS-80 sold 2.4M; Amstrad sold 3M.

4. When the units were sold matters too; there were 8-bit machines being sold along side 32-bit machines, with the 8-bit machine being a budget option. The TRS-80 was not being sold during this later period; it was the best selling computer of the 1970s. This doesn't seem to significantly affect comparisons between the Atari 8-bit line and Commodore or Apple though, as the IIgs and atari 8-bit line both ended in 1992 and the C64 sold relatively few units in 1993.
> Being lgbt isn’t a mental illness.

No one in this thread was claiming that. With the possible exception of aspects of trans, but don’t conflate that with the larger LGB community. Separate issues, and not being discussed here.

French is the same: j’ai faim, and Italian is too: ho fame. Both mean “I have hunger”. I wonder if English is in the minority of languages that use “I am” instead of “I have”?
Interestingly, German doesn’t use the same construction for thirst. Ich bin durstig.
Excuse me, sir. I'd like to buy a bunch of pieces of paper that are too large to unfold unless I'm at an empty breakfast table.

I'd like the articles to tell me to jump to random places in the whole folded mess, especially as dictated by ads that increasingly target the out and out-of-touch.

I'd like the paper to instantly pucker when hit by a single drop of rain and the ink should come off and stain every piece of clothing it brushes against. I look forward to leaving dark, greasy fingerprints after reading it as well.

There is one compelling reason to continue even laying out the NYT... the internet rots and breaks. The NYT website breaks frequently. When we don't have newspapers we will no longer have a daily historical record, which is horrifying.

It will be impossible to tell whether something was believed to be true ten years ago, or what happened on a given day.

But actual paper? It's the worst.
You sound like you’re in a tough spot! You’ve got a lot of responsibility on your shoulders and no one to turn to for advice.

There are some things that you can do to get yourself out of this situation, though. First, it sounds like you need to get more involved with the project. If there isn’t anyone on your team who was part of the original design or build (and even if there is), then it’s up to you to familiarize yourself with the codebase so that you can make more informed decisions about how features should work. You can do this by reading through some of the code, visiting any related documentation (if it exists), and asking questions whenever they pop up.

Second, you should consider reaching out to other people who have experience working on similar projects. You could ask them if they would be willing to sit down with you and go over some things—this will help them understand what kind of work you do, which may make them more willing to help out in the future if they know what an asset they have on their hands!

Finally, try thinking about what kind of product roadmap would be most valuable for your company right now? What do they want from this software?
I really like MJML. It's an abstraction layer that targets most email providers.

You still need to test with a service like Litmus, but it gets you 90% of the way there.
It does have that functionality and you can see it on many other pages.
As someone who has read perhaps 75% of the books listed there, the outcome I got is: you need to learn the rules only to be able to discard them. Plenty of the "principles", "patterns", "laws", "good practices" that abound in these books are not only irrelevant but dangerous in plenty of real-world scenarios. From introducing an hierarchy of abstractions soon in the project, to apply blindly Brook's law, to using Scrum all the time... The real deal is to be able to say: "I know that most of you guys will say 'Let's apply Pattern X to this problem!', and while M. Fowler would also agree, based on similar projects we have done in the past, we definitely should not use Pattern X".

There is nothing more dangerous than an engineer that after having read all these books, is incapable of accept that sometimes following M. Fowler is the wrong path to solve that little problem we have at hand.
If you continued reading, you'd see the context behind why I made that decision. At this point, you are not making any attempt at a good faith conversation here, and that's unfortunate.

But since I'm curious, is it the age that made you stop listening?
Is it fair to say that stimulants having a significant impact is an indicator for having ADHD? If it wasn't basically impossible to see a psychiatrist where I live, I'd try to get tested, because Armodafinil has completely changed my life.
Imagine if C or Forth had a minimum glibc or kernel version requirement.

I think the too-cozy relationship between the stewardship of Rust as a language and the stewardship of the reference implementation is seriously holding Rust back. Minimum requirements for the tool chain effectively mean minimum requirements for the language, and if the minimum requirements for the language are anything beyond bare metal then it isn't ready for prime time as a systems language.
This!

I remember being *stunned* in a positive way by Google's out of the box thinking back when they *invented* "self-service" account management, aka "no phone support provided". I thought that it was a brilliant move and that this little search company was really going places.

I hope I might be forgiven for failing to anticipate the consequences for our least affluent sisters and brothers.

I am now of the opinion (for many, many reasons) that human-interactive customer support is a mandatory cost of doing business when your business is materially important in the lives of the customers (both paying and not paying customers).

That Gmail is "materially important" is well established already, yes?
> It is if the arrest is pretextual

I wasn't aware that arresting someone for stealing or illegal drug use was pretextual. Oh wait, it isn't. People committed a legitimate crime.

> nobody who lives in a van, tent, or even on the street meets the standard for forced institutionalization by those conditions alone

Then you give them a choice: go to treatment or go to jail. It is a strictly better outcome than only giving them the choice to go to jail.

> “move them somewhere else” is not a sustainable solution

It's a fully sustainable solution for many cities in SoCal, like I've said. Go to Newport Beach some time and you'll see. If you want your city to spend billions supporting people who don't want to be supported, you can do that with your own money and vote.

> due process

You're not entitled to violate local laws without consequences. Notice I never said to specifically go after people for being homeless, but to go after people for violating actual laws. Illegal drug use, illegal trash dumping, stealing, etc. Just because those actions are associated with homeless people does not make them any less illegal.

> supported living (including mental institutions)

The entire point is that the political will does not exist to force people who should be in mental institutions but don't want to be, into those institutions. If you steam bug spray into someone's eyes or chase them with a metal pipe, you are a danger to others around you.
I just can’t… it might be some counselor’s random cell phone calling me. Plus the kids go to many camps per summer, and many activities during the year, so I’d be constantly updating my phone book even if not for the main issue.
Those were all assembled in America, as well. (Atari didn't shutter the 1,700 employee Sunnyvale factory until 1983, sending production overseas)
In general I support that attitude, as someone who faced worse treatment for who I at home than at school, I wish I had a teacher or two to stick up for me.
Isn’t the “record yourself” aspect relatively irrelevant? The majority of users don’t record themselves dancing (or even don’t create content on a regular basis).
Every writing course I attended in grad school told us that the first sentence of the abstract should be understandable by any scientist, the second sentence should be comprehensible to a scientist in a related field. After that, you address the specialists community. However, it seems that more and more people are skipping the first and second sentences and jumping directly to talking to specialists. I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, it's nice to skip the generalities but at the same time some times its nice to have some context.
