OP here. I think that's not too far off, but it depends on the purchase. For a phone it's basically $500 to solve all of my uses for the thing, and not that much of a risk and no debt. If I break the thing in half, it's a $500 hit over the course of about ~3 years instead of over $1000.

In the unlikely event that the UK were to abolish or deprecate its monarchy, Canada would still prefer not to re-open the Constitution. This might indeed lead to Canada worshipping "The Crown" without anybody to wear said ceremonial headgear.

In other words, the logical contortions of a democracy naming one family as being more important than anyone else, and it being a family without power anyway, are less painfully absurd in Canadian politics than discussing the Constitution. ^_^
Aye. I was at my friend's grandparent's house (he grew up in his grandparents house) as a youth, probably 11 or 12, and his grandfather mentioned he was offered to join the masons by a work buddy. He promptly told us he did not join.

> The price is ostensibly zero.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but while much of your post is agreeable, but the products behind Patreon, Thumbtack, or whatever aren't "free," despite the $0 app download. They offer services to which their apps are merely gateways. Meanwhile, for the last twenty years, venture-backed startups have deferred revenue and given away free services in pursuit of growth.

Your complaint is equivalent to accusing bakeries of giving away smells and glass windows. There are serious surveillance issues endemic to the internet, but this isn't the smoking gun.
I would like to remind all the readers of this post that the united states government used to try to use LSD as a mind control drug. They (IIRC it was the CIA) got into all sorts of shenanigans, dosing people (including CIA officers) without their consent. Some people died and other people's lives were affected very negatively. This was back in the 1950s- a time at which American had little or no conception of the concept of a "psychedelic" at all.

Also, the Grateful Dead- whose parking lots were famous as large scale drug distribution sites- went from being counterculture to establishment in some ~25-30 years (the "house band" of the Clinton administration).

We apparently live don't live in the strangest timeline, but it's definitely the trippiest one.
It's just "nostalgia glasses"; only thing that is "alive" is the media being worse and worse after each use.
Absolutely. fwiw, I also would have a very hard time even rationalizing a $20k CAD car purchase.

I would like to search some more niche subreddits.
False equivalence; we have a baseline for when water will boil due to years of experiment highlighting physical constraints.

We have no baseline for human behavior after another 100 years of climate change. Future hasn’t happened yet, past experience is not viable as it lacked the new constraints of the future.

There is evidence in biology that we go crazy after years of living in hot weather. The body heats is better than it cools us, and cooling us strains our systems.

So perhaps it can be shown in some academic way our biology could literally survive the conditions, but they can’t predict how well humanity will actually deal with it; we may destroy ourselves over resource constraints or the wrong people going mad, launching the nukes out of paranoia.

There are too many ways we can end ourselves to take the prediction “it won’t get too hot for the species to biologically survive” as evidence we won’t still destroy ourselves.

Constraining the prediction only to that which they can have most confidence in undermines the accuracy of the model.

I'm not against republicanism. Your example, 'Great time to abolish the monarchy. Monarchies are fucking stupid', is not an interesting or well though-out comment. If that's all the effort this commenter felt like giving to this forum, then it should be down-voted.

CFM hasn't ever developed a supersonic engine. Safran's one military turbofan is an 80's non-supercruise design. It would be a long way to go for either of these outfits to produce an entirely new supercruise turbofan.
I think you might have gotten your symbols mixed up a litte.

From what I understand, just \nabla(f) describes the gradient of a function f -- meaning all the first order partial derivatives (of a certain point) in a vector.

\nabla * f describes the divergence of the function f -- meaning a scalar field of the quantity of the vector field's sources at each point.

\nabla * \nabla(f), divergence of gradient, then describes the Laplace operator.
Also written as \nabla^2(f) or \Delta(f) -- note that it's an uppercase delta.
I have an enduring resentment of projectionists because a projectionist deflowered my high school crush on the floor of the projection booth while I was in the theater, and everyone knew it was happening and was kind of giving me "sorry bud" looks.

> * But 2,000 years ago the Europeans were were not "civilised" in the sense that we think of.*

That really depends on what's your definition of "Europeans" and "civilized". The Catholic church exists for around 2 thousand years,is still alive and well, has its capital in Italy, and has defined western society for centuries.
It wasn't peaceful. It was that the UK was broke and couldn't afford to keep invading places that weren't making money for it:

I've never owned an iPhone, but this is basically the framework I operate within when thinking about most purchases, but especially phones. If the question of what it offers me is tenuous at best, I don't have enough extra money to burn that I'm going to spend anything close to that on upgrading, and usually never upgrade, instead just replacing one that was either stolen or broken in a horizontal purchase within a budget of around $500
It's a split. Some do the one, some the other, and some I don't know what they do.

That sounds more like dogma than argument.

Tell me: what exactly would have been worse if the US had never had a manned space program? The whole thing feels like a vanity project, not something that delivered value. It could all have been delayed while launchers got cheaper without loss, as far as I can tell.

To clarify further: cannabis legalization and decriminalization varies a lot by jurisdiction, but has rapidly accelerated in recent years. Even “legalized” and “decriminalized” varies significantly. Some states and jurisdictions permit commercial sales and others permit only cultivation, possession and gift exchange. Washington is fairly odd in that it allows commercial sale but doesn’t allow cultivation without a (medical or industrial) license. North Carolina is odd in that it’s decriminalized but has no medical. It’s effectively a grey market in all states with commercial, because you can’t legally use any form of electronic payment (despite many industry efforts to circumvent the restriction).

This all routes back to the Cole memo issued by the Obama DOJ, which (correctly IMO) identified federal jurisdiction as limited to interstate commerce, and effectively issued guidance to states that the federal government won’t intervene if it determines that local governments are making a good faith effort to prevent product or sales from crossing state lines.

Full legalization is almost definitely inevitable, but these sorts of patchwork laws will persist until federal law changes. Increasingly it seems likely that several holdout states will remain so until that time and may remain so even after the fact.

It depends on the industry. Finance is usually one of the exceptions.
"Viewers are meant to keep the app open while they watch the film. The AR app listens to audio cues by leveraging Apple’s ShazamKit technology. When it recognizes a key piece of audio around three minutes in, the device will chime, alerting users to hold up their phone and point it at their TV. A 10-second countdown then begins ahead of the AR experience."
The tweet says "I and the rest of the Patreon Security Team." That implies that the organization is without any security team or that there could be a lull in capability. Not very security or privacy conscious.
I was using my friend's Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard when I was staying at their house for a few days. I really liked the keyboard so I bought one for myself. It's been great so far, and my only issue with it is the function key (Fn). Pressing Fn just toggles a light on the key, and it doesn't actually send any keypress event, so I couldn't figure out how to start dictation. It took me quite a while to figure out how to solve this problem, but I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed figuring it out. I thought I write up a detailed answer on StackExchange and post on HN.

I'm really impressed with Karabiner-Elements. They have a documentation site [1] with some really interesting examples for complex rules.

I like the idea of setting up keyboard shortcuts to launch apps [2]. There's also a safeguard for command-q, so you always have to press it twice. (Google Chrome already does this, so you could even set up a condition to ignore the rule if Google Chrome is the active application.)

I'm looking forward to coming up with more ideas for shortcuts and workflows. This is like having bash aliases for your entire operating system.

YouTube memberships? Demonetization on YouTube is one of the main things that drives people to use Patreon.
Not surprising that the same can be said for a certain US government department having hosted a personal mail server in a bathroom closet and trafficking classified materials and caught much later by OIG.

Or that one time I found a dialup modem under the raised floor and attached to the Equifax (then TRW) mainframe.

Or catching someone inserting a USB stick into a PC inside a secured white-lab area.

TBH as a Japanese, I feel current US situation (GOP become trump party) is much crazier. It's not even controlled by CIA. I want to believe it's controlled by GRU or something.

The trope of people jumping out of windows on LSD is entirely Art Linkletter's fault for not being able to accept his daughter's suicide, but instead blaming in on the fact that she had mentioned that she had done LSD before.

Since, if you're on LSD (or pretending to be) and acting out, the first thing you're expected to do is talk about how you can fly and threatening to jump out of the window. It's silly. No part of LSD makes upper-floor windows magnetic, and the trope has proved longer lasting than the memory of Art or Diane Linkletter.

edit: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-scarlet-linkletter/

> Diane’s death helped spread a widespread urban legend that lives on to this day, although it was around well before her fatal plunge. According to a popular story that warns young people about the dangers of drug use, “some girl” jumps from a window while on an acid trip because the drug fools her into thinking she can fly. The claims immediately made after Diane’s death that she had been on LSD, coupled with her method of suicide, seemed to some to fit this existing cautionary tale, and afterwards her demise was pointed to as an example of this legend’s coming true.

Applying state changes in a controlled fashion is just about the last quality I'd ascribe to a non-trivial React codebase. By the time you've finished with all the ceremony of memoizing everything just right so you get acceptable performance you're left with a brittle codebase full of surprises. Making one innocuous change can break all your memoizations. Or you're just as likely to find something failing to update because it's been over memoized. Manually managing all the dependency arrays for all this is very poor DX.

React deserves credit for bringing fresh thinking into the JS framework space but there's a tremendous amount of room for improvement.

I agree, and I am confused how the parent comment could think any of those 3 motivations make any sense.

If the person who made the claim is lying, which is going to be pretty obvious with a little bit of time, they've flushed their own career down the drain. Risky move with little potential gain.

I've been arguing against cryptocurrencies since 2017. It's really simple, from a physics stand point, the value, is spent compute. I can't reuse that compute, therefore, the store of value is entropic. Entropy goes one way and the value cannot be returned, therefore, cryptocurrencies have no value outside of speculation. Speculative markets already exist and don't need to spend 127 TWh/y to use. Protection from inflation? How is inflation been going up but BTC has been going down? Decentralized? Only until the central authorities who have a staked interest fork the blockchain to save there own assests. Fuck your assets. Someone exploit your smartwallet? CODE IS LAW. But its privacy forward! Bullshit the entire transaction history is public and people have made an industry around finding out who owns what wallets.

Cryptocurrency proponents are the free energy, cold fusion and over unity quacks and cranks of this generation. So many ponzis, rug pulls, frauds, grifts, lies, and bullshit.

I think that while its certainly ignorance. it's more about complexity (which ignorance thrives in), wherever complexity lies, divisions do as well. ignorance itself does not necessarily have to be wilful. I suppose I'll say, this is not a counterargument, I somewhat see your point and wanted to expand on it.
It takes about 5min (including logging in and mistyping my MFA code twice) to spin up and SSH into a fresh EC2, another ~2min past that to have it accept git pushes. Depending on the language another 5-10min to set up automatic builds.

Given that a tree with a 48 in circumference is several decades old, if not over 100 years old, it seems sensible that there would be some amount of process if you want to cut one down. You can’t just run out to the store and replace it. Old trees add huge amounts of charm to a neighborhood and there one thing you can’t buy to augment a specific piece of land.
I bought a Moonlander earlier this year after getting bad upper back pain and knowing that if I didn’t do something the pain would only get worse and I would end up with a hunch. Previously I was coding on a Magic Keyboard.

I ended up quitting my coding job shortly after getting the Moonlander so the pain has sort of resolved itself anyway as I’m no longer doing massive coding sessions. But I’m glad I’ve got it for the future.

At first I found it massively frustrating. The default layout is quite frankly ridiculous. The only way I could get myself to stick with it is by making the keyboard layout as close to the British Magic Keyboard as possible. For anyone interested, this is my set up, that took me a good few iterations to get to:

https://configure.zsa.io/moonlander/layouts/KZ7aa/latest/0

Maybe I’m “doing it wrong” but I think once I’ve got used to using it as a regular QWERTY keyboard I can then maybe look at changing the layouts and doing the fancy stuff. The fact that they ship it with such a crazy default layout is bewildering to me.

I’m still nowhere near as fast with it as the standard apple keyboard but I imagine I’ll get there naturally after a year or so. I can do longer sessions on it now before I have to pick up the laptop in frustration. And I’ll be sticking with it because the health benefits really are worth it.
All of which is negligible when compared to the atrocities imposed throughout the world by British Colonialism under the sponsorship of the British Monarchy.
Im not a pro hacker, but I occasionally have to consume an API. My personal golden rules are

- be meaningful. listWidget(str name): Returns a Widget is useless to me. 90% of api docs i see are like this, its evident they've been auto-generated and no effort had been made. Code samples help but really they are second order answers to the fundamental questions users have: why should I consume this function? How do I consume it? What should I expect? How to detect problems? And, hardest of all, when should I use something else?

- include an overview block at the start of every api definition, to orient the reader. What does this API do? What are the most important objects and calls? What limits and rules does the reader feed to know? Write at a lower reading level than you normally use to capture newbies and non native speakers.

- Meaningful code samples are great, but dont kid yourself. If the sample is unrealistic, particularly if you are eliding a difficulty that the real world practictioner is guaranteed to face, you are cheating yourself and them. Address it.

- make navigation easy. breadcrumbs, scroll to top, cross refs etc.

I've never found api docs that hit all of these, by the way.
