Thank you so much. The outpouring of support has been amazing, and I am doing much better, though still spending much of this week bouncing between testing locations and doctors offices, and trying to rest when possible.

I did have the energy to go to an indoor family event yesterday and that helped a ton. Hopefully I can get back to my work next week! But health / family comes first!
On desktop Linux, every niche is underserved (with the possible exception of text editors). There's hasn't been much going on in the Linux desktop software world for the past twenty years. It seems like anytime something new comes out that runs on Linux, it's only on Linux because of some cross-platform library and as a result compromises have been made.
A question so noob I'm almost shy to ask it:

The simplest scenario in the article is a single Redis instance residing on the same machine as the application. What's the benefit to this versus just storing data directly within the application?
Slight correction here, XDG keys are analogous to Windows standards: https://github.com/adrg/xdg/blob/master/README.md
I feel like it's almost a requirement to take this opportunity to share Technology Connections great video [1] on the topic.

Personally, I've used a heat pump as the sole heating unit for my house for the past 6 years or so. There have been a few cases where I've opted to use an extra blanket, but overall the results have been pretty impressive, and the cost savings are pretty huge. (Apartment, so no fuel heat, it's electric or nothing)

That's a narrow view, using suicide as a mechanism of political change has a pretty substantial history. It turns out extremely marginalized people don't have any leverage except the media coverage that comes as a result of their deaths.

I don't disagree! I think a fairer criticism of the parent comment might have been, for example, something like:

"The relevant question is not whether this person did something reprehensible or wrong or even harmful, but rather whether the police's actions were proportional, or whether there was a legal basis for an arrest... Or even whether the current legal framework is how it ought to be."

The goal in the above paragraph is to:

- neutralize any unfair rhetorical impact of the parent comment

- allow for the parent comment to be read charitably

- argue directly to the relevance of the point, and help refocus or reframe the discussion

Now query whether I'd be successful at any of this... But I think that's how I would approach it!
Keep attention to an aspect: most setups are grid-connected because full autonomy is not possible or simply way too expensive. As a result while a single human can decide (depending on local laws on that topic) putting some panels and relevant inverters the grid need to cope with far less stable and predictable loads grid.

Keeping a grid up and running is a delicate balance between varying consumption and production, like having a tight rope with various needles suspended by the their eye, some with added weight, some with a hand to push the rope 50/60Hz. We normally "average the load" of a grid making large enough but not too large grids with few big generators and many small (or few large but constant) loads. With renewables and a gazillion of grid-tied inverters who tend to be (far) quicker than big ones the frequency keep a bit schizophrenic: inverters see constantly a bit too high or too low frequency and keep adjusting their output generated instability. If they are few others local consumers around them just absorb their output, but if they are MANY keeping the grid up is a nightmare.
> You don’t need social networks to keep in touch with anyone anymore, their original raison d'être is gone.

In what sense? The underlying social motivation/interest is still present. And it's not like fundamental communications capabilities have actually changed. Chat's been around since the 90s and SMS is the new email. And social network applications grew and thrived in those situations because pull-and-scan-social-feed across multiple circles has some distinct effort-reward profiles.

I could see the argument that the algorithmic and advertising imposition eventually drive out enough of the value that people opt out, but that's a statement about the business lifecycle of a social network app, not the underlying reason people might use / like them.
Some people are moving back to anonymous communication with limited audiences.

Twitter is anonymous, but 100% public. There is no way to limit your audience to a smaller group.

FB is not anonymous and mostly public. Private groups do exist, but you still mostly need to have an actual name on your account.

TikTok & Snapchat are mostly for people who show their faces, not anonymous.

WhatsApp shows everyone everyone's phone numbers if they are in the same group, not anonymous. You can also be forcibly added to a group of hundreds of people you don't know without permission.

Telegram and Discord are more like old-school IRC was. Just a nickname and that's it, no personal info needed. (IRC did have the hostname, but some networks masked it)
Is it hard to reimplement that algorithm? I want to see what people would do with porn-enabled image generator. Hopefully pornhub already hiring data scientists.
> Additionally every single democrat voted against an amendment that would have prevented new agents from auditing individuals and small businesses with less than $400,000 of taxable income.

How do you know how much taxable income someone has if you're unwilling to audit them?
Come to any city in Europe sometime and be proven absolutely wrong.

Venice is depopulating because it’s not a livable walkable city, not because it’s walkable.
Huh, you forgot the time when the PM decided to call on the emergency act to get rid of the trucker protest in the capital. Which was annoying for the residents I concede, but was 99.99999% peaceful.
California's power market is heavily distorted by the private utilities needing to make a profit, extreme cost of living, and a need to import power from other states.
Smalltalk is a major influence on Toit and Ruby.

Toit has blocks (lightweight closures), single inheritance, everything-is-an-object (no primitive types).

Like Smalltalk the Toit VM is dynamically typed, but unlike classic Smalltalk there are optional types and they are checked at compile time and run time if you choose to use them.

The syntax is not much like Smalltalk though, and development is with conventional source files and compilation, not image based like Smalltalk and Self.

(In Self the editor was inside the VM and you saved your work by snapshotting the entire VM state which is superficially attractive but makes it really hard to collaborate and use version control.)
I'd be interested in a reference (preferrably historical) on how to do these computations by hand. Was it all done by looking up in evaluated function tables?
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I just got a letter from the IRS pointing out an error in an amended return my CPA had filed, presumably with the help of software. They tallied total taxable income to a nonzero amount, but then put a zero for the tax due on that amount. I missed it on my own review because it was one of many returns I had to file.
A lot of people do want to live there. There is a significant university, and all of the things needed to support it (like grocery stores). There's a well-developed water taxi service. It's been a real place to live for centuries.

It's an idiosyncratic place to live, to be sure. They even seem content to live with the acqu'alta, the regular flooding. The houses are set up with barriers that prevent water, up to the height of about a foot. Any higher and the pressure would risk collapsing the walls, so they just let it in and clean up. Not pleasant, to be sure, but there are plenty of people who would put up with it to live in such a charming, beautiful city.

It really is the tourists that push it over to "unlivable". They massively outnumber the residents, especially during the summer. It's actually not as bad as you might think in the many parts of the city that the tourists don't go to, but you have to pass through them.

It might be AirBnB that really ends up taking it out. Whatever you'd pay to live that life, somebody else will pay more to spend a night in it.
>You need look no farther than major digital nomad hubs like Chiang Mai and Bali to see that there are extremely vibrant communities in these places

Seems like you're mixing this with tech hubs and online communities. Or my understanding of what a real community is, is different than yours.
I don't know which is more tiresome, 3-4 hours of focused programming and thinking, or 8 hours attending two children below 5.

They are both tiring, but differently. Intensive programming is like working hard at the gym. Tiring, but content. Attending children is low intensity in attention, but constantly vigilant. And you are expected to pay that kind of attention for another maybe 4 years. Very different kind of tiring indeed, both makes you unable to focus afterwards. So while thinking hard makes us tired, not thinking hard can also makes us tired.
You are right, I did know this but it's worth clarifying. Thanks.
Who was I gate keeping?
Good answers here already.

I'll throw in C4 Model [0] in here. It's a tool to visualize how system components connect at various level.

Unit tests, and code will help you understand the system bottom up. Documenting with C4 will give you an idea how the system is arranged top down. The context, component connections, etc.

I'm partial to C4-PlantUML [1] because you can diagram your system using code; you can version it. You don't have to worry about the layout. It gets out of your way.

It is if you talk with Indians. Id sit and eat with my Indian coworkers and they would describe the lay of the land.
8lbs if you're already severely overweight or loaded on carbs, maybe. These guys don't exactly look like they are doing either of that. To put it in a different perspective, that amount of weight loss beats out strict waterfasting at the same weight. You can't get much more strict than straight-up dehydrating (because we all know dehydrating yourself prior to a mental exercise is a great idea) or doing rigorous exercise outside of that.

And no, chess is not rigorous exercise. If it was, the room would be too hot for them to wear suits and tuxedos. Those burned cals have to go somewhere. For the unconvinced, try jogging or lifting 2000 calories worth in a suit at room temperature or slightly above without taking it off.
I’d go further - it’s not just that we don’t need a way to ‘connect’ with people on a platform today (you can ping them in myriad ways).

It’s that we don’t much want to anymore.

The novelty of general-purpose social networking was twofold, in order depending on your circumstances at the time:

- a new angle to seeking a mate

- wow, a way to see what someone you don’t really know anymore is up to and say hi

The former market opportunity is now filled by specialist apps.

The latter, while it was fun for a while, and might still hold some prospect for thrills, is nothing to build a business around.
I think a post scarcity environment is achievable with today’s technology. It’s today’s political and socioeconomic systems which are preventing that from becoming a reality.
If you're willing to spend a while figuring out how to make Twitter stop showing you conversations your friends are having/stuff they're faving/popular posts/etc then it doesn't suck as much as the default, true, but you're still stuck in a conversational medium that makes it impossible to emit an entire paragraph at one go. I run a Mastodon instance whose post length limit is set to roughly 7k and it's amazing how much I could feel a part of my mind unclenching after years of Twitter as I got used to it.

Right yeah, that's my mistake; it was showcased for release on both OSX and Windows at a MacWorld conference in the late 90s; Microsoft purchased Bungie in like 2000, and after that acquisition they added on an Xbox release.
I don't like that this is piggybacking on the recognizable name of an open standard and not-for-profit software while being considerably less open (Where's the RFC? Where's the source code?) and being for-profit.

This is a bit like calling your company "Red Cross Pharmaceuticals" despite not being affiliated with them.
I think authentic and engaging discussion requires a small audience. I'm reminded of an essay "Do things that don't scale"
Cool article, engineers gonna engineer!

Two things that jumped out to me: it’s incredibly seeing copper being compared as the “cheap” alternative! Obviously it would be compared to rare earth but copper is typically “expensive” in general or household applications.
Also, I had no idea Tesla motors spin at up to 18k rpm that’s just bonkers.
Guess it makes sense because they’re single speed(?)
Dang, old diesels (kind of an extreme example, I acknowledge) redline at like 3500 rpm.
Do we really need super sophisticated scans when we can just observer their movements during sleep? I am no spider expert, of course. And yet I would expect a dreaming earthly creature to some sort of convulsions.

I feel that if more interviews involved this sort of algorithm instead of the ultra-niche / only situationally useful, there would be way less opposition and much more signal.

At work, I have written and then used a bunch of these in production, just for the narrow scope of things I work on. Might be indicative of me being in a bubble though.

Please, ask me to make a bloom filter or show how consistent hashing enables sharding! I'll pass on yet another "Implement String.reverse()"

Then it is an issue of bitcoin and all the PoW blockchains, not of crypto in general.

You can be pro-crypto without being in favor of Bitcoin, you know? In fact, those who oppose crypto due to environmental concerns would help immensely if they stopped generalizing and became more specific about their arguments.
Node-Ipc Turned into Malware
Yeah, the only way to make it work is to be an exercise nut. In order to get the nutrition your body needs from a vegan diet you will need to consume more calories than you would consume on a carnivore diet. So you need to exercise to burn these extra calories off and maintain that “fit vegan” look — although eventually it will catch up with you.

As for “cruel and polluting”, that’s also a bigger problem with agriculture — because of the clear-cutting, the insecticides, the secondary effects of insecticides on birds, all the agricultural run-off, and so forth.

You need to think more critically than “did this piece of food on my plate once have a face?” Just because you’re eating soybeans doesn’t mean you’re not killing animals — it is just indirect and even more ecologically devastating.
TikTok is winning because it is video first. The more immersive the media, the more profitable the ads. Facebook is having trouble pivoting it's products to video. Facebook is betting big that the next more-immersive medium after video will be VR. That's basically the whole story.

Notice I didn't use the word "algorithm" or "social"? These takes are tired and naive, TikTok isn't addictive in any operationally useful sense of the word, people just like it and use it. You may as well write a blog post saying "TV is addictive and it's dying because of commercials". It's just not an accurate conceptualization if the landscape.
Maybe, but you'll still be pretty damn limited in terms of access to the GPU. Games generally tend to push the graphics to the limit. You could make a graphically very simple game and put most of your GPU compute into AI. I'd be interested in seeing a space like that explored for sure.

For graphics intensive games though, you either want something that can get by on the CPU or in future maybe TPUs will become common enough in consumer PCs so you could offload your AI onto that and still keep the GPU for fancy graphics.

The chance of this person individually owning a parking lot seems very very remote.

The chance that there was an illegal activity on the parking lot, if it regularly was in use by non-owners, seems even more of a stretch.

You can see plenty of videos online of folks "policing" spaces they don't ACTUALLY have the rights to (usually because they don't like skin color of someone).

I'm just saying, let's take the claims of criminal activity because someone was simply on a parking lot the OP claims to own with a grain of salt. A big grain :)

Minor grammar point: I assume the engineering professor was consulted by Tesla. 'Consulting with' would mean that he asked them for help, which would be somewhat less remarkable.
> In fact I'd say that's the primary way I've experienced community from college onwards

Then you probably never actually experienced a real community.

I’ve grown up in a small town of about ~3000 inhabitants, who all pretty much knew each other. Random people knew my family, I could walk anywhere and meet someone who went to school with my dad or who had worked with my grandfather in the 60s/70s. I was often taken care of, as a small child, by people who I didn’t know directly but that knew my family, and who my parents knew. There was also gossip of course, and some darker patterns (early 90ies), but the core idea was thar everybody knew each other and had formed long lasting bonds over the decades.

This is what community means when we’re talking towns, not Internet forums.

And by the way: most natives will stick around when things are not so great too, nomads will just go somewhere else… in this sense digital normads are more like leeches than anything. They will make prices rise and only improve the pockets of few people (landlords, mainly).

I was really sorry to see Whispersync disappear in the the most recent Kindle Paperwhite. I was more than happy to pay extra for it.

However, I've never had the kind of battery life I'm seeing on my Kindle these days. It was always good (until my previous Paperwhite suddenly went toes up) but now it's amazing.
That margin is more than many commercial and industrial customers pay in Washington State.

In the cheaper public utility districts here, the per kWh price is only double those rates, with no time of day pricing or similar shenanigans.
You know Sony has also been purchasing studios left right and centre for… well, literally forever? And each one of their exclusive games from other studios has money behind the scenes to convince them too? Microsoft absolutely does the same shit, of course. None of these companies are our friends lol

In my experience, it’s very uncommon for this to happen in big corporations at such a frank level. Like yes maybe your buddy from work years back gets tapped for a leadership position, but not your actual brother or cousin, or your childhood friend from the same small town. And if it does happen it’s more of a 1:1 thing and not a huge cluster of your extended family (again, in big corporations. I’m sure it happens a lot in smaller, private family companies).
Proton is very good.

The current reality is that it really does increase the testing surface area by a substantial amount. Even if it's only +10-20%, the addressable market on Linux is nowhere near that size, so it is really difficult to make a good business case for supporting Linux natively. Large studios could certainly do it, though it'd basically be getting "subsidized" by other target platforms; small studios though, not so much, the math just simply doesn't make sense currently.

The engine abstractions only do so much for you - at the end of the day, it's another thing you have to test and provide support for, with the latter being the most troublesome and resource-intensive, in my experience.
Are they really a violation of antitrust? They're not really different from exclusive supplier relationships or exclusivity deals in other industries.

As you point out, it's pretty accepted in the copyright industry to have exclusivity deals. If I want to get Katy Perry's album, then I buy the Capitol records one, I can't get it from Sony. Or I can only stream on services where that artist is available, so if it's not on Tidal, then tough luck for users of that service.
This was one of the biggest eye-openers for me. First, it turns out that you don’t need fiber for a healthy gut. Second, it also turns out that a zero-fiber diet will reduce the volume of poop you produce by 75% and you’ll also completely stop farting.
Oh definitely. I spend most of my work time in Illustrator and I love its infinite* canvas, it's great to let my drawings sprawl off the edge of an artboard when they need to and resize the art or the board later, but I never feel a need for it when I'm writing stuff.

My "current" game is a marathon going for a point victory. It is running for almost a year now, and I still have 30 odd rounds left, sometimes a round, without any real action going on, takes uo to 10 minutes to calculate. So I am in for quite a bit more game time.
