Yeah but you can’t put them in places people want to live. Those places are already full and the land is parceled out. There are no economies of scale building 1-2 houses at a time in Seattle.
As image processing is a relatively processor intensive activity, Mac used to be, and is still (it seems) the OS of choice for this work. GIMP's native Mac support too came quite late. This is another reason which adversely affected adoption.
You are projecting a comment about Joe Biden on Trump for some reason. That comment had nothing to do with Trump.
It's actually very straightforward

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
Been into the topic since the earliest days of long covid, Apr 2020.

If you have issues make sure you have dealt with possible microclotting issues, it is the main thing everyone must check/treat who had covid.

As others mentioned in thread, check FLCCC's IRecover protocol and also study antifibrinogens and Gustavo Aguirre's work. He was months before anyone else from the start regarding both covid and post covid treatment.

I myself manage a hungarian long covid group with almost 6K people now, started 1.5 years ago. Curating resources, translating studies, gathering good docs and protocols.

List of treatments to have a look at: lysine (2000-2500mg, slowly increasing not to break microclots too fast), lumbrokinase/nattokinase/serrapeptase/bromelain, high dose B1 (even 2000-3000mg HCl form), in case of brain fog you might consider fluvoxamine, and of course there is the one which helped A LOT of long haulers I know but is censored...: www.ivmmeta.com
Also diet/antihistamines might help for some and in case of low energy (if microclots are surely gone, if not I'd focus on it first) then high dose flush niacin. Proved many times.

It is so absurd they can still censor it and that many docs blindly following orders.
I have a friend who felt similar about CRUD apps. He quit and got some freelance work while working on a couple of micro-SaaS products (check out microacquire for ideas). He then stumbled onto some web3 projects. Found one that got him super excited. Started working there part time. Brought some dev friends over. Then wrapped up all his freelance and other projects to go all in on web3 as a full-time employee. He gets to work on challenging tech with his friends

Not sure if this helps, but there are a few ideas to explore
Netscape Navigator -> Mosaic: -692 days
Slack -> IRC: -9102 days

Yeah, I know that there are obvious feature differences but the list also has entries like BitKeeper -> Git and ManyCam -> OBS which are just as skewed.
Great! I was going to suggest this also.
I submitted [1] a similar story when they announced it a year ago.

I think the aggregate demand curve slopes downwards. I think this because of macroeconomic theory.

Because of this model, I can make predictions on how government spending/borrowing affects consumption and investment. There is good empirical evidence for this.

Do you not agree?

Why is this astrology?

Meh. I can't remember the last time I put a suit on for anything, and I'm not in any hurry to do it again. If jeans, a long-sleeve Snap-On t-shirt and a Suicidal Tendencies cap isn't good enough, it doesn't concern me.

Legalize all drugs to make sure people are getting what they are expecting... Why endanger their lives on purpose? Please, help prevent overdoses, etc... And while you are at it, get those sweet taxes like you already do on lotteries, and fire half of all cops (the drug fighting ones). WTF is wrong with this Government? Is the for-profit prisons a main part of the problem?

Also, why is marijuana legal at state level and illegal at federal level?
You also have to take into account the cost difference. Other DCCs cost orders of magnitude more than Photoshop does. The value of a free program really inspires more faith.

Also blender was regularly used to make content with input from the community. Multiple shorts that dog fooded it and provided improvements through the process, while inspiring many to see what’s possible.

GIMP doesn’t have any of that. Photoshop can be had now for $10/mo or something cheap like that. It’s not thousands of dollars a year like for DCCs. It doesn’t have productions driving features in it , or creating content regularly to inspire people.

Krita does better here because they do small but more engaged community outreach to create content with Krita and have it feed back into the app

This is a great tool. I've seen things like this, but never with such a good UI.

It would be very cool if there was a chord-search tool that was easy to use. Something that would let you select notes on the screen, or play them via MIDI, and then the tool would give you suggestions for which chord it is.
sensitivities "gatekeep" discussions of things people care about? seems like recent buzzword soup
But there's a risk that their kids won't care about math or won't amount to anything notable in STEM, whereas these 2 are proven to be effective at mathematicians.

You know the debate about 10x engineers - and how many people weigh in saying they are real, that 10x may even understate it? Here you have to 10x (minimum) mathematicians. You are suggesting we give that up, that they sacrifice the quiet time mathematicians need to do great work, and devote themselves to raising kids, on the off chance that (some of) their children may contribute more than they will.

Imagine Steve Jobs having his first success (incorporating Apple, selling a few units) or Bill Gates (selling some units of BASIC and random software, how Microsoft started) - then quitting to raise a bunch of kids. Is that a good trade? What are their kids up to today - and could we expect much better even if the had 10 times as many? Would you really expect those kids to accomplish more than Jobs and Gates did?

When put this way, it obviously sounds like a bad trade.

Publishers do provide some essential services like editors, and making sure your book looks good, and distribution.

However, much like the music industry, they are unbelievably greedy bastards. And we all know what happened to music industry. There are only four big music corporations in the world that have a stranglehold on ~90% of world music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_industry#Consolidation

You really don't want that to happen to any media.
Harvesting fruit requires more brainpower than hunting, for instance? Wait for the fruit to appear, in the tree that you remember it always appearing in, then climb up and grab it. That doesn't seem to require much brainpower.
Awesome feedback, thank you!

I did not really attempt to use it on any other PHP installations, so it might explain being broken easily. I use shorthands a lot, I might just change it to the default ones to avoid errors.

When you edited your first (empty) page, did you use password "admin" or you generated a new hashed password? It might have something to do with another PHP settings that doesn't allow you to create files unless you chmod the directory.

Any additional info is appreciated, I'm really looking to improve it for people to use WikiMind on their own.
You use enter more frequently than you use spaces?
Crowdfunding only works if you have a preexisting platform. Otherwise, it's just going to embarrass you. It's not zero-risk either, because if you start a Kickstarter and it fails, you can never remove the evidence (and the social anti-proof involved in a failed campaign). For authors--reputation ends up being a big deal because it takes 10+ hours of human effort to tell if a book is any good--this sort of thing can be fatal.

Also, it's much harder to build a platform organically than it used to be. I was semifamous in the 2010s and was literally almost killed for it. (Some people who were high in Y Combinator were on the wrong side of history there, but I digress.) So, I know how these systems actually work and how to exploit them (if one wants to go black hat). The game of getting attention is more competitive these days because there are so many more spammers, bad actors, and general-issue crapflooders. You can buy 10,000 fake Twitter followers for less than a hundred bucks and you probably won't get caught or face any negative consequences; on the other hand, getting from zero to 1000 legitimate followers is really difficult (much harder than it was in 2010).

Well, that depends on your definition of colony. The settlers did well, the indigenous people that were displaced experienced deprivation and worse.
> gatekeeping becomes unnecessary

This is pure fantasy. Society will always need prisons. Sure, there is much that society can and ought to do in order to reduce what may be judged as tragic or unnecessary incarcerations, but the incarceration rate will never be literally zero. Having prisons doesn't make society a "dictatorship".
In addition to the sources others have mentioned, https://retrogamecorps.com/ and his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/RetroGameCorps are pretty great, especially the in-depth guides.

Nothing stops anyone from structuring a new business like this. Many professional service firms such as private medical clinics and law firms are structured as partnerships, which is a co-operative type of entity.

The tricky thing is building a product-focused business like this. The risk-reward ratio is very different. Most fail and few succeed massively. Succeeding massively often requires extreme hard work and ingenuity from top employees.

Personally I would never work at, nor invest any money, in a co-op. Same reason I will never invest in a public benefit corporation. I don’t see the economy as charity and I prefer to donate money to overtly non-profit entities rather than donating to “I am willing to make you less money” for-profit entities.
Gimp 2.99.12: CMYK, canvas interaction, and more
I don't know why cities don't offer a tax break to businesses to make their bathrooms publicly available. Make it enough that they can hire an extra employee to make sure there's someone to check the bathroom periodically and do some random checks to make sure businesses aren't cheating. It would have to be cheaper than operating separate public bathrooms.

I live in Hong Kong and am still a little amazed at the ubiquitous, free, clean public restrooms. They're not luxurious usually, but they're available and never a disaster. As far as I can tell, the city employs a pretty large staff to check and clean them throughout the day. But then there's also no massive homeless and drug problem like there is in the US.
They are switching to an enterprise-oriented model, which means they'll nickel-and-dime you for everything. If you can't afford a few hundreds on basic infra, you really should look elsewhere.
Maybe you could solve the clipping by putting a hard limiter in the signal path after the synth.
This story is one of the most horrifying things ever. I’d rather die than get mind-uploaded into a VC-backed immortality machine.

If you are truly interested do more research focusing on clotting/microclotting. Dr Gustavo Aguirre is a true pioneer, his protocols (and others' protocols) which are based on that truly work, I manage a long covid group with 6K people.
Yea, 43 -> 45 minutes is a 5% decrease in performance, which sounds small but actually is pretty significant for any trained athlete. That's 15 seconds if you're running a 5:00 mile.

In cycling particularly you have all sorts of day-of considerations like hydration incl. electrolyte balances, RBC counts, sleep debt, glycogen levels etc. Even just having some carb-heavy meals a few days in a row would potentially affect his RPE. But none of that takes away from his deloading principle.

Happy you found my comments helpful. If you want to learn more about the technologies and companies behind the energy transition you can check out this list we curate[0]. I would also recommend reading Project Drawdown[1] for a high level overview of the emerging generation of energy technology.

For what it’s worth, the scenario you describe is basically how the state of the art home systems work in the markets that support them. Distributed generation (via solar), energy storage (via batteries), and bidirectional grid connections for feeding surplus energy to the grid. Some companies even aggregate homes to act as a virtual power plant which can be dispatched on demand. There is a ton of interesting stuff happening in this area, I hope you find an opportunity that suits you!

Can someone mark a perfectly clean bathroom as trashed, then trash it and have the previous user take the blame?
I really hate this "overnight" argument, because it's used to avoid starting. Nobody claims that we can switch to EVs over night. We could however switch to only producing EVs in like two to five years and fifteen to twenty years later almost all cars could be EVs. That's plenty of time to fortify the electric grid for the extra demand and build adequate numbers of charging points for people without garages.
While I agree that is a fairly comical quote, I also think it’s an oversimplification to say that whales are “an endangered species”. There are many different species of whale, some of which are endangered and some are not. The humpback whale, for example, is no longer listed as endangered as of 2022.
It really has nothing to do with race and everything to do with upbringing.

How come black people (specifically African-Americans) are the only people who seem to have these "racism" issues with police? What about other minorities? How many Indians do you see on TV fighting with police or getting shot? What about Hispanics or Asians? Hell, what about African immigrants? It seems quite strange to me that for all this talk of "systemic racism", none of the other minorities seem to have these issues.

It's almost as if the racist police don't have any issue with any minority OTHER than black people. Which makes me think that it really has nothing to do with race and everything to do with what some people are being taught.

There was a video a few weeks ago of young black children (probably around 5-8 years old) taunting, cursing and HITTING police in Minnesota.

https://nypost.com/2022/07/12/video-shows-child-hit-and-swea...

Now, you tell me, who taught that child to behave that way? And when that child grows up, what possible interaction could he have with police that DOESN'T end up with him being beaten, shot or killed?

Everyone wants to look at one side of the issue and ignore what is going on everyday in black families and communities that leads to these confrontations.

They are very similar, but if you have the data from both set you can clearly see the difference.

Unfortunately both long covid and vaccine side effects are underplayed.
As a Seattle dweller and an active person, finding a bathroom during a long run or a bike ride is difficult. There are large swaths of the city with no bathrooms. In commercial areas, having to meander through a store to use a restroom is bad for the person trying to use it and the other store customers. Seattle is failing in this regard for all its citizens, not just "street critters".

Agreed that everyone should have access to functional bathrooms and scanning QR codes to do so is silly.
While PhDs without masters are common in Europe, universities may have doctoral training centers that have an extra years to act like a masters. My wife went straight from undergrad at Oxford and her PhD was four years instead of the usual three with the first year consisting of short courses & projects.

I spent a lot of time traveling in Europe and the public toilets were top notch and clean.

I agree that what happened to him should not have happened. But we're the ones who let this stuff happen. We're the ones who vote in the people (or neglect to vote them out) who put these policies in place.
I was just talking to another ex-Googler today, and he has a simple explanation for why products keep getting worse (especially Google's, but not just them):

PMs gotta get promoted

New PM inherits a successful product. They can't get promoted if all they do is keep it healthy and growing. No, they have to make a radical change, even if the product doesn't need it, and in fact their radical change makes it worse.

I could present examples of "fixing what isn't broken" but it would probably just be a dive into the deep end.

In any case, though, Mr. Staltz is wrong. Making a product usable is an art, and OSS projects very seldom have it. There is no one (a PM, oddly enough) to say "no, your new feature is stupid and doesn't fit with the rest of the product."

As other people have noted, this applies mainly to user-facing products. The developers do an 80% job and then split, and no one wants to do the shit work that comprises the other 20%.

This is not to defend stupid, greedy companies like Adobe, by the way. But yes, GIMP does suck, as many people have pointed out.
How do you implement healthcheck?

Does the loadbalancer know how the healthceck is implemented?

How do you determine it's time to scale?

How do you implement always-on-process? service unit, initd, cron?

How do you export the logs?

How do you inject configs? /etc/environment, profile.d, systemd config, /etc/bestestapp/config?

What about secrets?

Service discovery? Is unbound/bind9?

And on and on and on and on.

These items are best done in a standard way. That's a major selling point in k8s. You define and implement these in a consistent way that also integrates seamlessly with other tools. Doubly so on cloud. Less reinventing the wheel means less money. The more teams, the faster this becomes exponentially expensive. Take this into consideration before your next interview.
I meant the embedded C back-end, yes. Rewriting the Haskell DSL doesn't really make sense.
I think your assertion is a bit hyperbolic, but for the last 30 years or so I’ve mostly given up reading fiction by living authors. There are tons of good books, and if a dead author is good enough to still be in print it’s sonable signal that the book might be worth reading.
The issue is that successful co-ops take work to build. Most early promoters of a business are seeking financial compensation. In Mondragon's case they had religious fervor. There's actually quite a few Catholic 'co-ops' that are founded because it is part of Catholic belief.

While we don't often think of it that way, the Knights of Columbus in the United States has as its main purpose, the pooling of resources to provide for working class male members (which number in the millions). It still runs one of the largest not-for-profit life insurance schemes in the country [1]. While not a 'co-op' in the sense of Mondragon, it does provide the social security net that he Mondragon founders set up.

So honestly, I think for established co-ops you need some kind of religious fervor. That is true of these co-ops, or also the communist hippy ones, except there's a different religion. Other successful examples of co-ops, like Winco, are where employees later purchase a private business from owners, rather than being established as a co-op.

They are doing something similar to Tableau. They have been actively rolling out features only available to subscription based customers - ie if you own perpetual licenses and only paying x% yearly for maintenance you are starting to get less product than their subscription customers. It is nuts and is driving us to actively consider PowerBI which is like Teams is included with the enterprise license.
I think that "first 50 pages" just gives you a poor sample. I often read 5 sections of 5-10 pages from several random parts of a book, including closer to the final.

For fiction in can give you "spoilers", but I don't care. A book which is worth reading to the end is usually worth re-reading anyway, despite your knowing the entire plot. "Hamlet" can be seen as a detective story, but we don't read it to find out who is the murderer.

A book that can be destroyed by a spoiler is not worth reading, to my mind.

In non-fiction spoilers don't exist. But looking at the farther chapters you can see if the author is going to tackle some new and interesting material. First 50 pages of many non-fiction books are often intros, and if the topic is not new to you, you already know what they are trying to explain, and can skim / skip.them.
