I have tried Guix (as a package manager), and it seems much better documented.

I also really like the fact that Guix uses a well-established, minimalistic, well-implemented, functional-preferred configuration language, which is Guile, the GNU implementation of Scheme, which is very much tailored to be extended with and embedded in other software, for example written in C. In part, my love comes from having had to use the alternatives: Huge configuration files written in YAML, for example, with no real documentation what all the keywords really mean, or things such as Conan, which appear declarative and are.... whatever.
Maybe I’m in the minority here but I really did not like the feature and many people I tried to explain the feature to were confused that it existed.. “no no don’t tap the screen, you need to PUSH on the screen to make it do the action”.. and I would get a look like “huh?? Push on the screen? Why what’s that gonna do..” people saying pushing hard on the screen is intuitive seemed to live in a different bubble of people than I interacted with..
Just look at the tear down videos on the XV11 compared the any roborock tear down. I would link you the XV11hacking site but seems like it’s down. It had everything from firmware to schematics that hobbyist did in the early 2010s since it was the cheapest way to get a 2D LiDAR (pulling it from a the vacuum itself).
Exactly. If there's an issue with ownership, then that's a completely separate topic from density.

I do think we should encourage individual home ownership, even in dense developments. And would have no problem with legal nudges towards this. I.e. upzoned for density only if units which will ultimately be individually owned.

Furthermore, in the majority of desirable areas, creating high-density, individually-owned homes would increase access to home ownership, as the unit economics would allow lower pricing than equivalent single family homes in the same location.

(And before someone pulls out the construction cost economics / high-price-only rebuttal, that's yet another topic, with a different set of fixes)
This is exactly my concern. Imagine a DoD contractor with a remote-controllable, lidar+camera (+mic?) equipped robot based in the USA's main rival country. Does that seem like a good idea? Should we put a fleet of Chinese robots in SpaceX's facility? Lockheed's? Why not?

It's not just "Murica first". If these were European companies, I'd jump ship very quickly to an iRobot competitor with a superior product, thanks to EU's data collection laws and USA's OK relationship with EU. But they aren't, they operate in a regime where questionable data collection is the norm and theft of IP is called "R&D".

Yes, Amazon will use iRobot to vacuum more data than dirt, but at least they are part of the US and EU laws. They provide gov services for a ton of US DoD/NASA infra! China could and would just thumb their nose at us without much concern.

Watching him on Joe Rogan post Sandy-Hook gave me a pause that made me wonder if, under the public persona, there was a genuine human. I can certainly imagine that, if you're getting so heavily rewarded for the OTT absurdity, vitriol and anger, you can eventually get lost in the act.

R does have it's own package manager but I was explicitly not using it because I read there could be issues, instead only installing packages through Guix. It was mainly a problem compiling things within R as if the order of how gcc-toolchain and the R package were setup it straight up wouldn't work. With later versions it just broke entirely and I never managed to fix it.

It's interesting to me that it turned out he really is just an absolute train-wreck of a person.

He seems to me like he is a very successful rabble rouser and promoter. He seems to have made millions of dollars per year fulfilling that role - as much as $800,000 per day:

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity/alex-jo...

The $4.2 million verdict doesn't seem significant to him, despite his protestations to the contrary. The plaintiffs were seeking $150 million. We'll see how much the $4.2 million is increased during the punitive phase of the trial but so far it seems like a cost of doing business for him.

I worked with a guy that said the moon landing was fake. The only evidence he could provide was the number of images of space that claim to be real but end up being doctored or fake, every time I called him out on his bs I was wrong and the image was fake.

It's a fairly odd that that IT cultures are segregated into places that have nothing but Macs and other places that have nothing but Windows.

I think it's risky because a small computing monoculture can feel complete but commit a software business to failure at the very beginning by rejecting 90% of the potential market.
One of the key problems is that in todays society, those high monopoly rents wouldn't necessarily be re-invested in projects
One thing that's rarely taken into account is that the town planning departments of many other cities are run by absolute mental cases as are the accounting departments. London has, for as long as I can remember, had fairly decent town planners and it generates enough money that over time even excessively expensive solutions end up being largely worthwhile in the end (Millenium Bridge for example).

All other cities of any size need to have town planners that are top quality.

I think the issue is that buying and managing 9 batteries is much harder than a tank of gas. Not that it’s impossible, but that’s not a realistic path for professionals. We need better batteries before this is a feasible replacement.

Why do you say that, am I missing something? Surely both technologies are able to keep "looking" as the hoover moves around, the lidar ones surely aren't doing a single analysis and then not checking again?

> agree this is a good attitude and start off point for parents-to-be but I have to agree with other commenters that it is impractical and goes out the window pretty quickly unless you have nerves of steel :). Imagine for example being on a flight with a toddler throwing a tantrum, for the sake of everyone's sanity an iPad is a wonderful device.

It doesn't have to be the kid's iPad though.

We have a "family" nintendo switch. I sure don't mind if they play with it on the plane, but at home they only have access to it on request and within a limited time. Same as for a laptop if they want to watch something or my eldest daughter's phone. There is no way these devices stay in their room either. I give them an allotted time, and all these devices need to get back to my office where the charging cables are once time is over. And if for some reason they try to cheat and use the fact I am busy with something to not take notice they are still using it, they get punished for a week without access to said device.

In the end I am glad my daughters are so creative and spend so much time drawing, building things with cardboard, glue and tape, or play outside. Usually screen time is limited to when I am cooking for dinner, after they took a shower. They still aren't stranger to tech but don't need to be hooked on social medias. My daughter's phone is mostly used to play music and for whatsapp, as well as camera when we go out. But since her time on it is limited, every comm is asynchronous and doesn't end with her having to answer to every single notification right away.
Well dammit.

My wife and I do our best to avoid Amazon. It's just infuriating when something we already own and love becomes an Amazon product.
The `-` operator has never been removed? If I search for `athens`, I get results for Athens, Greece. If I search for `athens -greece`, I get one map result for a random "Athens Greece", followed by web results for Athens, AL, Athens, GA, and Athens, OH. At most, the issue is that the widgets don't respect the `-` operator as well as the web results do.
Great write up! I use pen and paper to off load my mind
Sometimes it could be "YouTuber advertising", where instead of a YouTube ad, the advertiser directly pays the YouTuber to market the product.

Doesn't require any of my personal information to target me (targeting is based on the YouTuber's audience and metrics I'd assume), and I have made multiple decisions to purchase a product or not based on this advertising.

I currently pay for YouTube Premium, so I guarantee you I am not conflating this kind of advertising with YouTube's regular advertising.

C++20 Concepts in C++03
C++20 Concepts are a new language feature that ease generic programming, but are primarily syntactic sugar.

We will try to implement them in C++03, with one caveat - we must explicitly specify that a class implements an concept.

NOTE: We will use template specialization and do not need to be able to modify the class or our concept for this.

This feels like it matches my anecdata as well. Some folks in positions where they have the choice to work or not work are staying on the sidelines. I know a school administrator who retired earlier than planned rather than deal with the madness, I know a college kid who just took the summer off rather than get a summer job, I know a speech therapist turned stay-at-home mom, etc.

Rather than a few years ago when people's decision calculus was "do I want to trade my time for $X/hr to do some work?" it feels like it's become "do I want to trade my time for $X/hr AND risk getting myself or family members seriously sick AND deal with unhinged people at a time of political strife?" And sure, the X in $X/hr has gone up, but apparently not enough to convince as many people to wait tables as in 2019.

Is Zettelkasten the new Getting Things Done yet? I feel like I'm seeing essays about How I Zettel with the same frequency I used to see essays about How I GTD back when 43folders was pioneering the genre of "productivity influencer".

True. Aware of verbatim, though oddly forget and assume “quoted” text is verbatim. Personally I would perfect Google provide option to have verbatim on by default and enable non-verbatim per keyword; obviously average user would not like that.

EDIT: Tested if verbatim flag fixed the issue above, it did not; Google still randomly returns or does not return results, returns description with the query shown in description (or does not), etc

Proof verbatim does not help:

Oddly, if you get no results, and add [stack exchange] to query, which in theory should be from same index since it a more narrow subset of the prior, does return results, which is odd:

>Honestly, it sounds like you're coming into this with a huge preconceived notion that Google goes out of the way to mildly inconvenience the far right.

If you think any tech company doesn't do this then you've been living under a rock for the past 5 years. All you have to do is look for some videos or upload one yourself about certain subjects and see.

>If you really care about "conservative censorship", ask your Republican representatives to make Google a common carrier instead of virtue signaling about how bad big tech is to score cheap political points.

I'm not American, and don't care about conservatives or democrats, and the only politician I admire is Bernie Sanders, but we all know he'll never win because (even though he's on the left), he's a good man. I just used to admire the freedoms you guys had that's all, how Nixon had to resign because of Watergate, meanwhile Clinton did worse to Sanders and no one even cared, Biden's daughter's journal got out where she describes weird things and no one cares, his son being a crackhead and no one cares, imagine if Trump's son got pictures of him doing crack and tell me how you think the media would have reacted.

The ideal world would be libertarian, do whatever you want without hurting others, a few decades ago it seemed like the world was moving towards this direction but not anymore, it doesn't matter anyways since humans have the same DNA we did 100 years ago so we'll probably repeat the same mistakes over and over again, we seem to organize in systems that eventually move towards violence and oppression, and people in 100 years from now will ask the same question we ask about "how could X people allow Y to get into power".

None of this will ever change until maybe we figure out a way to transcend our genetic encoding or evolve out of our current situation (which is unlikely to happen since usually the bad people are the ones who survive our wars, famines and dictatorships).
For some reason "security" and "intelligence" lures the most suspect people you really don't want in those positions.

>> GitLab approves the use of Linux, and Apple's macOS. Microsoft Windows is prohibited for the following reasons:

Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware.

macOS is preinstalled on Apple computers and Linux is available free of charge. To approve the use of Windows, GitLab would have to purchase Windows Professional licenses, as Windows Home Edition does not satisfy GitLab's security guidelines.

As many purchases of laptops have occurred with employees making the purchases and then being reimbursed by GitLab, a remote employee would typically be making a purchase of a laptop pre-loaded with Windows Home Edition.
Windows Home Edition is notoriously hard to secure.

edit: after thinking about this for a bit, it occurs to me that their main competitor is github and that maybe they just aren't very excited to use MSFT products?
This got me thinking. For regularly scheduled activities don't tell yourself or others "I have to go XXX today" but instead "I get to go XXX today". This changes an obligation into an opportunity. You may laugh, but I've found the way I phrase things - even to myself - can have an effect on how I feel about them.
Sounds more like an issue of perspective. She repeatedly states that once she overcomes her resistence she's happy she did the thing. So she just needs to be able to be not-swimming yet able to see the fun of swimming.

Some kind of broadening of perspective is called for. To contain these disparate states simultaneously.

I think this would be the opposite of focus. Which could be the central problem. We love focus, or something.

I have 2 of them, a 2-3 year old Xiamoi S5 and some way newer Shark. The shark is frustrating to watch, it bangs into things constantly and doesn't give up. I have to go fix the Shark all the time because it drove over or into something, for instance I have a very low TV stand with open drawers, and it will try and try until it drives right in, and then gets stuck. So I have to have a lot more boundaries with the Shark than the Xiomi. The S5 is pretty impressive with its tech and I'd only buy a xiomi at. this point.

With that said, NEITHER are a replacement for a real vaccuum. I would only recommend them for wood floors to pick up pet hair and things like that. I'm really, realyy disappointed with how they work on carpet.

The xiomi is also a lot more powerful than my Shark.

If there's some vaccuum bot that can almost take the place of a real vaccuum on carpet please let me know because I don't vaccuum enough at all.

Unfortunately I also have halfway carpeted stairs and I need to get some sort of vaccuum that isn't miserable to use on stairs.. Please dont carpet stairs. I have a really nice Shark big vaccuum but its not fun to do stairs with it.

> The Solid DID method specification is a specialisation of the Web DID method [DID-WEB] whereby write (create, update, delete) operations are more tightly specified. The Solid DID method is designed to be generic enough to be compatible with other Web-based systems which implement read and write operations using HTTP methods (RFC 7231). For this reason, we are considering whether to name the DID method did:https or did:rest or similar.

From this paragraph it seems pretty messy that there's both did:web and did:solid. Is the idea that every random company under the sun writes their own slightly different did-url to https mapping? And that every user-agent implements all of them?
I love my Samsung phone. It is huge and I would get a bigger one if they made it. The camera is also great. The only downside I see is a lack of iMessage
An example is renaming a method that’s heavily used. It can be nice to have the first commit be the rename, and then the second commit be changing the usages. When you code review that, it makes your job easier. Trivial example but you can work up less trivial ones from there.
>It doesn't matter how unrealistic it is

From a rules-lawyering perspective, this is true. But I believe the true intent of determining if a country is in a recession or not is not about semantic gamesmanship, but about how accurately we can represent reality because the fidelity of that representation is what drives policy. That fidelity is what matters in terms of "correctness". If I say the official definition changes to whether or not a groundhog sees his shadow on a particular day, that's probably not the best way to represent economic health as a means of crafting policy even if it's "official" by fiat.

Let's not miss the forest for the trees. Policy is what matters because it's what ultimately impacts peoples lives.
