I'd say what's in your food is controllable if you live on a farm.

Outside of that, it gets very difficult without scanning barcodes, looking up specific items in a database, and periodically doing lab analyses.

There's the "control your food" as in "don't eat fast food" and there's the "control your food" as in "does this fish have high mercury in it?"
I condemn violence, but that's not what I meant: nothing stops the people from quitting and forming their own worker-owned company.
Where do you live and is Apple's bundling of iCloud (you can only use some major features like the App Store when signed in & you can't choose other providers to fullfil the same role) illegal there too?
What bank do you use which requires paperwork or interacting with COBOL? The only transactions I have which take longer than seconds are the wire transfers for things like buying my house where the extra delay to confirm the transaction is both not a problem and desirable given the sums involved.
One way to make your config files more visible:

mv "$HOME/.config" "$HOME/config"
ln -sfn "$HOME/config" "$HOME/.config"

If you want to move and link files that you want to make visible:

mv "$HOME/.foo" "$HOME/config/foo"
ln -sfn "$HOME/config/foo" "$HOME/.foo"

If you want, you can set a custom location in your system file `/etc/profile` or your user file `~/.profile`, or `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshenv` etc.

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/config"

I think that's just the nature of software never being done + the only reason games have been declared "done" in the past is when you had to master a single boxed release.
2. Cancel culture is mostly concerned with giving a voice and power to the set of marginalized groups that the Nazis despised. The Nazis could not have cared less about pronouns and would have murdered trans people on sight, and they were anything but politically correct for the time, which is why the world went to war against them.

Meanwhile, they would easily have retweeted a meme (in other words, engaged in propaganda) meant to disparage and slander homosexuals, although obviously they wouldn't not have associated homosexuality with Nazism or used the Swastika, as they considered homosexuality to be abhorrent. They most likely would have used a Star of David or other Jewish symbol instead.
It is tagged as "management" and "staff-plus", so most likely the intended audience is people operating on that weird boundary layer between management and engineering.
You can find the numbers in the IPCC reports.

Headline numbers like 1,000s of years are are always talking about about a fraction of emitted CO2.

Like radiation, CO2 Decay has an infinite tail. When it is "gone" depends on how much you are talking about (50%, 90%, 99.9% ect)

CO2 decay is complicated because there are several removal pathways, and some cap out, and some keep going.

The IPCC doesn't talk about it in terms of half-life because it isn't true exponential decay. The 2007 Report said the following:

"Carbon dioxide cycles between the atmosphere, oceans and
land biosphere. Its removal from the atmosphere involves a
range of processes with different time scales. About 50% of
a CO2 increase will be removed from the atmosphere within
30 years, and a further 30% will be removed within a few
centuries. The remaining 20% may stay in the atmosphere
for many thousands of years"
*
More recent reports essentially provide an asterisk that says its complicated.

Yeah this is what I meant about the US being a bit technically behind, but this is not the same as the "surprise" delays referred to.
Bitcoin transaction fees can get high on a busy day if you pay to get your transaction faster consideration. Paying the standard amount will usually work, but it can sometimes take hours for the transfer to complete, which is suboptimal if you’re trying to pay for something that only guarantees the price in Bitcoin for a certain period of time. That is been my personal experience anyway.
It’s worth it.

gov.uk is an absolute delight to use exactly because of this kind of focus on the details and valuing of simplicity. I can’t think of another website that is more useable, and that is super important for a site that needs to work for a very diverse user base who have no choice but to use it.

I think you’d also be surprised how little this is likely to have cost compared to benefit to the tens of millions of users of these systems. GDS run a tight ship.
I'm excited at the prospect of getting more control of my privacy. I get calls, texts, emails to my personal account about jobs. No clue how they know I'm a physician, and God knows what else they know about me. I'm forced to assume the state medical board sold my info to some third party recruiters.

IDK, maybe the FTC should suggest that China may own some of these tracking companies/apps, that would get immediate bipartisan support.
$110 absolutely falls under "affordable" gigabit. If I want symmmetric gigabit, I can get it, with a Comcast business plan. But last I checked it was in the $four-figure range.

I pay around $35/mo for 100Mbps symmetric using a microwave satellite on my house's roof.
Pike says the code is in assembler - which means it is written by hand.

In assembler `name[0]=='.'` is simple to write. Fetch what name points to
and compare it to a literal `'.'`.

A function call on the other hand requires pushing registers to the stack,
pushing the arguments to the stack, call the function, and then restoring the registers.

So if you are in a hurry and just want to try something, you will write the equivalent to `name[0]=='.'`.
I'm pretty confident that nibbleshifter meant/was implying "potentially committed an offense", which under the law necessitated the investigation, and thus means that the correct procedure was followed (separate from whether or not the law or procedure is just).
The fee is based on transaction volume. At it's height bitcoin transaction fees hit $62 last year. Right now it's down to $1.60.
Can't you get actual guns at some US supermarkets, in the 2020s? Meanwhile I'm pretty sure you can get those combination cap/spud guns in the seasonal aisle at larger UK supermarkets, and almost all French^. Funny.

(^when I was younger I remember being amazed by all the stuff you could get in French supermarkets, aisles and aisles of school supplies, summer toys/beach items, clothes, etc. - seems they were much earlier in that trend, and still seem to lean further into it, though it's been a few years since I've been.)
Gas prices change very frequently, so almost everyone uses a digital display to show the price... it is much easier to change 3 or 4 prices than to change thousands of labels when the tax changes.
Practically the only remotely common desktop or server OS where it's not still a normal way to hide files, is Windows.

> which i think is an attempt to understand who the aggressive party/parties are in your opinion

Appeasement is defined as policy that avoids conflict. The conflict in Ukraine hasn't been avoided and remains ongoing, so Russia does not fit no matter how you slice it. Nor does the West, to be fair. Conflict hasn't been avoided full stop.

If, for argument's sake, conflict has been avoided, it is important to understand what concessions have been made to Russia, if Russia is the aggressor. It matters not who the aggressor is if nobody is performing appeasement in the first place. I am not aware of the West providing any concessions to keep Russia happy as it pertains to this. Instead, sanctions has been imposed against their wishes.

Russia pulling out and conceding Ukrainian territory back to Ukraine to keep the West happy is how sanctions will be lifted. The West is not the aggressor in the war, but could be considered an aggressor when it comes to sanctions. They were very much intended to be putative. If appeasement is relevant (which is debatable), that is where it fits given the subject of what it will take to see sanctions lifted.

One's feelings about whether or not Russia is justified is irrelevant and a change in subject. Furthermore, use of language needs to be introspective of broad interpretation, so even if personal opinion would serve to skew in some fashion, it does not hold relevant to understanding language use in a community.
As a parent, my first question is what did his parents do to foster this and enable it, and can I do it too? I know my kids may not be interested in engineering, but I want to at least give them the chance. And I suspect whatever his parents did is applicable to other interests too.
Wow. This is inspiring — will be interesting to see what else he does in the future. Selfishly I hope he stays focused on innovative hardware stuff rather than getting dragged into advertising optimization or some other big software project.
Do you mind expanding why as an end-user paying in cryptocurrencies is easier than signing up for a credit card and paying with that?

To sign up for a credit card (in USA), I just provide my personal information to some banking website and they mail me the credit card in a week or so that I can start to use.
I know Crypto is scam-city, but the Lightning Network on top of Bitcoin is the "real deal". There are some brilliant people working on it like Linux guru Rusty Russell and Olaoluwa Osuntokun, who have come up with some amazing work in the last few years. The crypto space is 99.9% BS scams, but this isn't one of them.
How is what you just described "not so impressive"? That sounds remarkably impressive.
I've been using UpStash's serverless Redis offering and it's worked super well for my needs. Scales to zero/free which was nice for getting started, and using their http SDK didn't need to worry about concurrent connection limits when calling from simultaneous cloud functions. & not a second of downtime in the few months I've used it so far.

Want to move more of my app's datastore to Redis now that I've learned more about sorted sets etc.
I hadn't looked at streams yet. Thanks.

This page from AWS about Redis streams goes exactly to my use case: Redis Streams and Message Queues: https://aws.amazon.com/redis/Redis_Streams_MQ/
Your reply is "grossly offensive" in my view. I have the right to be taken seriously. If the police do not interview you then they are not equally enforcing the law.
Perhaps if we scaled time by Moore's law. :)

In that case, the distance from 1979 to 1997 is much longer than 1997 to 2022.
>Don't let the unobtrusive, old-school ads turn you off, i

I especially like the ad for a 9 planets ring. Is that item old enough from when we had 9 planets, or is it a solid bit of defiance in accepting there's only 8 planets?
Lead is no problem for RoHS-exempt components. If they can use these superlattice caps to replace tantalum caps, I'm all for it. Those suckers take up so much space in small designs that you sometimes have to forego the recommended decoupling caps just to get the design to fit on the board.
Police were concerned about the fascist-like symbol being posted so they decided to act as fascists in response. Problem solved, anxiety gone /s
It just seems to me like it allows you to open a secure high speed channel with someone you expect to transact with frequently. That's interesting but most people transact with different people constantly - so unless I want to have an open channel that closes nightly/weekly/monthly with every store I shop at, wouldn't I use a centralized service?

How would that be different than opening an account with Paypal, and everyone you transact with also having a Paypal account, and you all using Paypal to send money between each other, and occasionally Paypal sending money to your real bank account?

EDIT:

I suppose I could just have a channel with every party I transact with that closes monthly (like a credit card), but the lack of reversals mean I would like a centralized service to be able to buffer my money from other parties, like my current credit card offers
Windows is very common.

We don't know anything about their business -- for all we know they could be required in the office to provide availability, but with large downtimes in actual work.
In my opinion, the sort of person who is into this kind of idea is the sort of person for whom finance is a game. These people want to be the ones gaming the system and making money off of other people who are playing. They don't want to just be puttering around in a fake spaceship, they want to be the ones loaning out money and etc.

It's why I think every p2e game idea I've ever seen get proposed has had completely asinine sounding game play but plenty of opportunities to (in theory) make money off of taking advantage of lower sophistication players. The game play itself is secondary. What no one seems to recognize is that if the game itself isn't fun, there won't be any "normal" players around for them to fleece.
> There are definitely more Macs out there than Amigas.

Maybe in the US, but definitely not in Europe - unless you also count modern Macs ;)
I think it's unfair to blame this on governments. They do it because PEOPLE want it. For every MP pushing this nonsense, there are 100k idiots who think anyone who disagrees with them should be arrested...

> The First Amendment is pretty unpopular with progressives in the US these days

Based off of what? There's ample evidence of elected representatives on the rights passing laws that aim to reduce freedom of religion, speech, the press, and assembly. While on the left, the examples are always some rando on the internet saying something stupid which the reader decides is somehow a shared belief amongst millions of people.
Won't work, there are way too many areas where there aren't enough ships for that.
Complying with the XDG standard seems about as good as a stringly typed OS like Unix can get.

Part of which is making sure that the defaults the program chooses may be overridden by consistent environment variables.

Programs need some way to persist their own state and configuration, after all.

The fact that XDG is more honored in the breach is tiresome, but this can at least be corrected, and it's well enough put together to be a steady-state approach to wrangling dotfiles.
Lightning isn't disrupting anything. It'll take 75 years, the better part of a trillion dollars of power and all the remaining block reward (assuming 100% saturation of block space) to simply open channels for everyone on the planet. It would take months just to open a channel for the folks in the Bay Area. Once you do, it has quadratic routing complexity meaning it wouldn't even work in the first place. Move along, nothing to see here.
The vast majority of tech companies having hiring freezes or layoffs are the ones that overexpanded post-pandemic. You throw money at people when the money is good, and the hose dries up during a recession.
You don't need a completed application to get a provisional going. A suitable written description is enough, and is something an individual can probably do on their own. The USPTO even has a whole section providing resources and assistance for folks to do this:

https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/using-legal-services/pr...

That said, promoting that to a full non-provisional application is not something most people should do without a patent attorney as it takes real skill in the art (ha!) to get the claim set right.
People dont have time to respond to each and every applicant, given that there are 100s of them for each job. And teams have multiple job opening.

Also they have current job responsibilities/deliverables which are of higher priority.

Basically you can only expect good communication if you are top tier candidate for a critical job function, and company really really needs you. If job is not business critical - it will be slow.

Most of companies are freezing hiring/slowing down, and are not as desperate for people as they were before.
API platform Violet.io got traction by focusing on user pain
This was a great read! I had a planned sabbaticle from work, scheduled to start in April, 2020, and I planned on studying/practicing standup at a local comedy place in Denver. Covid blew a hole in that, obviously, and I've not done it.

This all reminds me of a paper I've read, and think about regularly. The author, or others, might be interested. I've posted notes and a link to the paper here:

https://josh.works/driven-by-compression-progress-novelty-hu...

The argument is something like "when our expectations are subverted, and new visible order snaps into view, we feel satisfied and interested". Curiosity and expectation seems to play a large role in humor and standup.

Thanks for this article, Michael! I've subscribed via RSS! I am thankful to have found your website.
Yeah, it's very market specific. I grew up in Norway, and until the mid-90's I had seen a grand total of one Mac in person (the first Apple machine I'd seen at all) - the mostly ignored display unit at my local computer store. Nobody I knew had Macs - those upgrading from 8-bit home computers mostly went Amiga, Atari ST or PC's.
I write video streaming software in Rust. Rust helps us make sure we've got concurrency correct, has a very solid type system to help us make sure we've got general application properties correct, and seriously reduces the space where we have to go looking for segfaults and suchlike (primarily third-party C libraries and bindings to them).
Interestingly I was forced to go cold turkey as part of my bail conditions was 'no social media'.

It's actually been therapeutic (despite the circumstances and for the record I'm innocent) and I keep in touch with the people who matter through email.

I get my news through HN, Reddit and Twitter, which technically some people might consider to be social media but I don't (and hopefully the police don't either) because I don't actually interact with anyone.
Aside from the fact that I would consider that pretty impressive, it's not at all what they're doing. They're using lasers between the satellites to get the data back to/from the ground.
You can't A/B test yourself to product transformation
Every time someone comes in and tries to solve these problems cryptocurrencies have they end up recreating standard banks and payment processors, only without all the federally mandated consumer protections built into actual banks and financial institutions.

People are just hell-bent on re-learning 200 years of banking history firsthand.
Redis is production-ready and it has a lot of features to help you track down problems with either memory or CPU usage. For example: `redis-cli --bigkeys` will help you find the very large keys. For smaller keys that occur too often, sampling a few hundred keys should be sufficient to help you find what type of keys are taking more space than necessary.

Once you get the Redis database designed well, there is a lot of things you can do before hitting the limit where you can't install any more RAMs onto a new machine. For example, there are no more than a billion .com domains out there. Say a single record takes 100 bytes on average, consisting of the domain name and a glue record pointing to the IP of its authoritative DNS server. Then it takes just 100GB of memory to store enough information to handle all queries to .com domains in the world. It's not so hard to obtain a machine with 768GB memory these days, and 2TB machines are not uncommon.

And if you worry about the price tag - don't use EC2. You can rent a 1TB RAM dedicated server at https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161/configura... for $600 per month. At Scaleway you can rent it for $1000 per month: https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/?tags=baremetal,availabl.... AWS is notoriously hard to be made cost effective.
Given that signals are primarily for interaction with the outside world, (eg user action), 10x slower than the likely optimum seems perfectly fine, no? How many times per microsecond do you expect a user to click that button?

I guess what I'm saying is, the example feels contrived.
Canada's legal system is heavily inspired by the British one (at least outside of Quebec) and even they wouldn't touch this sort of thing with a ten-foot pole.

This sort of policing of offensive content on social media among democracies is basically just the UK + the middle east.

I can't think of any other non-despotic countries dumb enough to do this?
it's more than just a price increase. it's a sky-rocketed, mandatory maintenance cost increase.
I cannot for the life of me understand people who keep zillions of tabs open instead of using something like Pocket or the Reading List to keep track of things to read later. Feels like convenient disorganization.

This really is a bad product launch. From the bad drivers that just don't work/crash your PC to the launch of the A380 ("eSport GPU") in China first and the slipping deadlines that are clearly set to make investors happy with no regard for the actual product.

I have Intel stock, I want to like the ARC GPUs, but this is getting pathetic as they seem dead set on paper launching these 5 times before actually letting people give them money for it.
Folks make these same sort of claims on high-efficiency HVAC systems and I never get them to pencil out. The higher efficiency doesn’t pay for itself even over the entire lifespan of the system.

Inevitably the people making these claims sell HVAC systems.
I prefer to call them "transaction fees" myself. I believe that's what "gas" refers to; people apparently call it "gas" these days so I have adopted that terminology so that everybody knows what I'm talking about. IIUC Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other PoW-based crypto "coins" all require transaction fees to function, so that's what I'm referring to, regardless of what people associated with any particular "coin" choose to call them.
Surely they could have looked at the tweet instead of interviewing him? Once they viewed the tweet they would have discovered that it is not grossly offensive or indecent and they could have avoided this whole thing.

If interviewing is required then what is to stop somebody from reporting somebody everyday and requiring the police to go out consistently?
Using initializer list would be much more readable without the atrocious macros.
That, of course, requires that they have lasers on all the necessary satellites, a hard hardware problem.
Good question – it's actually sampling at 50 GS/s (the scope's maximum sample rate), then upsampling by interpolation.

The higher sample rate is useful, because it effectively gives higher precision when finding the zero crossings; however, you could reduce the .wfm size by sampling at 50 GS/s on the scope then upsampling on the computer.
It's fun to play around with it, but like the author found, what you get is often strange or useless. I also find 1k images too small to do much with but I realize making 4k images would be cost prohibitive. I also wish it could generate vector images as well as pixel images. That would be fun to use.
Yet. There are a hell of a lot of ships. They just need for them to be subscribers.
I think apathy and physical exhaustion is fairly easy to tell apart. I do agree that burnout and apathy can be difficult to distinguish, mostly because they're the same just with different motives (apathy is generally voluntary but burnout is apathy that's involuntary because the person simply can't care anymore while staying sane). But it's definitely across industries and not just in healthcare.
