I just come out and say it? There’s nothing wrong with knowing you are a certain type.

At least it’s helpful for me to point at the ‘challenges’ section and tell people ‘I do this, please keep poking me until I give you attention’.

In the same way it’s helpful to have a literal definition of how other people think, because the idea that someone might deliberately go with a suboptimal idea because they value peace is absolutely foreign to me.
I’m surprised it took this long. Also surpasses that the gone screen isn’t bottoms up.

I use a spacer app for transparent icons for that.

Back button and menu items should also be in the bottom.. park in the ass to go all the way up there
It's worth noting that you can use a PLB (which runs on the COSPAS-SARSAT network) to summon help for free. No subscription required. On the other hand, the devices themselves cost $300 and aren't usable for anything else outside a life-or-death emergency.

The big reason InReach/Spot subscription devices are so popular is that they include non-emergency messaging to family as part of the service.
30 year fixed rate mortgages is specifically an American thing. Not sure this is the case in all European countries but I’ve heard that they typically have much shorter terms and/or variable rates.
If concerned about unsafe access to medications, I think putting them in a locked cabinet or room is the best solution rather than thinking that something like a bottle cap is going to control access. Unfortunately, many elderly also suffer cognitive declines which make it risky for them to manage their own medications, even if they are physically capable of the task. Missed doses or accidental double-dosing can potentially lead to other health problems, exacerbating their cognitive struggles and increasing the risk of dosing mistakes.

In the long run, I think that a family providing such support should consider adopting some of the best practices of care staff who do medication management for clients. You want a physical log sheet that is formatted like a 2D matrix with recurring doses as row labels and dates written as column labels. The rows should also be sorted and grouped chronologically, i.e. the first row is the first dose to take after waking and it is ordered through to the last dose to take before bed. You typically also want to leave blank space after each dosing period so you can potentially write in new medications when there are changes ordered during the tracking period. You also want to keep a digital copy of the form that you can easily revise and print again as the forms are filled to completion.

The responsible party measures out the doses and marks/initials the cells of the grid for the individual dose and date being administered. In a professional setting, they might mark once for preparing the doses and once again after witnessing that they were consumed. The active log sheet is kept in the same storage area as the medications, readily accessible to the ones administering them. If there are multiple people taking medications, a separate series of sheets is used for each person.

In a professional setting, this supports audit. But in any setting, it also provides a simple process to help minimize dosing mistakes. There are no more questions like, "wait, did they already take this?" after a distraction has interrupted the normal, habitual process. This written formalism can also help you manage refills. Learn to think in terms of "N days' supply" to note on the grid when a bottle is opened, predict when it will be depleted, and mark down when it should be reordered.
What if consciousness is actually never clearly defined?
Their strategy uniquely gives you the upside of internal R&D (pace, funding, and direction are set by you) with none of the downside (potential disruption by new technologies). Apple can drop a supplier on a dime if a disruptive technology comes out. If that same tech was being developed in house, there would have been too much internal politics and momentum for that switch to happen. But because they bankroll capex, they have control over the direction and pace of incremental R&D.
> If all your parents did was give you the opportunity to grow up stateside as opposed to some communist hellhole or third-world slum, that itself is worth a lifetime of gratitude that you can never hope to pay back. As hard as first generation parents may be on their kids, they have almost certainly endured through far worse in their childhood.

You’re supposed to have a lifetime of gratitude towards somebody who willfully brought you into your self described hell?

Do you have a scheme for tracking screenshots to builds

Tracking screenshots to builds has been an outcome of feature releases that included documentation w/screenshots. The documentation was part of the feature epic, and the epic was associated with a product release. The product releases had a product version.

What processes do you use to keep them up to date?

Feature updates include a documentation review, docs include screenshots. Depending on your org, some ownership between documentation teams or the feature owner can call out if an update is needed. For documentation teams to be enabled to make this call out, they should be provided with a feature outline that includes relevant screenshots. Relevant screenshots show product differences between empty state and the feature in use. It can be helpful internally to use a tool similar to Sketch to indicate the points of interest regarding empty state versus feature action.

It can also be helpful to have feature onboarding capabilities in your UI, something that guides customers through the feature with live data. Onboarding via the UI in my experience is a one-time event.

For documentation teams: Tie your docs (containing the screenshots), directly to the feature epic (or whatever you use) that will be released.

For marketing teams: I've worked with teams that used the same or similar source material as the documentation teams. The marketing teams can simply reference the product version somewhere in the marketing material. This calls out that the docs are dated, rather than attempting to update them. Preference is for new marketing material with updated screenshots, versus updating older marketing material.

How do you handle pre-release screenshots?

I'm assuming that pre-release may be synonymous with beta release.

You may be able to provide access to pre-release docs (including screenshots) via your normal docs UI if your docs are behind your feature gating systems. This can leverage the same docs > epics > release association. My greatest obstacle has been the docs not being complete for pre-release, not the portal itself.
Instead, I've delivered PDFs or a similar format of documentation w/screenshots to beta customers in the upmarket > enterprise space. That has worked well, since there is frequently a manual onboarding associated with beta customers and innovative features in that space. I could see that not being the case in b2c or other scenarios.

Personal processes

I make feature screenshots and drop them into Joplin, annotating them at the time, so I remember why the screenshot was made. e.g., did something look wrong, was there something I should call out, did we fix a bug that provided different data? This also preserves a personal history so that I don't have to remember and provides a checklist of what I need to update. The web clipper function is helpful for getting historical doc references as well.

My experience is primarily in startups working with b2b upmarket > enterprise SaaS, so please keep that context in mind.
> I know of that bold dude with lots of tattoos from Wagner that was most definitely a Nazi, but I think he has been dead for a few years now

You mean the leader of Wagner group who literally has nazi ss symbols tattooed on him and named the group after one of hitlers favourite composers?.

> I have seen lots of Nazi memorabilia and branding on Azov, Right Sector and other brigades that are part of today's Ukrainian Army.

There’s plenty of nazi symbology on non Wagner soldiers in Ukraine too. Here’s one example.

> It is amusing. But it's just because that is the most efficient way we know to turn heat into electricity at scale.

Despite the 'but', I don't think you are disagreeing with your parent (who I took to be saying that they found it slightly amusing that we haven't discovered any more efficient ways to turn heat into electricity). If you meant that steam turning a turbine is the most efficient way that we know to turn heat into electricity, then it seems that you're saying the same thing as your parent, and it's not clear what 'just' adds. If you meant that it's the most efficient way that exists, then, first, I wonder how you know; and, second, I think that far from this being 'just' anything, it's pretty remarkable that we stumbled on the literally most efficient possible way so early in our history of working with electricity!
Switching AirPods over from phone to watch and back is pretty nice. That’s the only example I can think of offhand though.
Context is king though. Traits or expressions have different good/bad connotations according to different types/type-informed contexts, that's the basic idea of how type works, how wars are started, etc.

Personality type theory shines exactly in those kinds of situations, where it works better to zoom in and look at group composition, isolating for specific perspectives and integrations, rather than zooming out to broader abstractions about humans or people in general.

It very often turns out that people have radically different ideas of what it means to get along, and who that should be done with, and when. Advising people to "make an effort to get along" can be extremely offensive when all parties have nearly exhausted their known resources for doing so.
80% of the fusion energy from DT fusion comes out in fast neutrons, which ignore magnetic fields.

The other 20% has to come out somewhere. If it could be converted to electrical energy maybe it could avoid surfaces (Helion plans to do this, with DD + D3He) but when it's just 20% of the output that doesn't buy you much.
Geez, streetlights ARE surveillance technologies. They get put in so people can see each other and surveille them.

The article makes that point too, but from the perspective that they have always been bad. Which I find almost as absurd as thinking it's ok to have disguised electronic surveillance run by the government and deployed at scale.
As someone like that, maybe? I'm much less stressed than other people I know, though work does sometimes piss me off, bleeding well into non-work time.

In most C and C++ libraries, itoa is actually is done recursively like this: Divide by 100000 to get the top 5 digits and the bottom 5 digits and do the conversion for each in parallel (relying on the superscalar nature of CPUs for parallelism, no SIMD). For longs, you divide by 100000 twice, and run 4 streams.

String to integer conversion, however, is a lot harder to do in log n time, but each iteration is usually faster. The same trick doesn't work - you can't efficiently do math on the base 10 string, so the equivalent division by 2^16 is very hard. I think it has to be done in linear time, but this expands to O(n log n) for arbitrary word width due to math ops.

However, a lot of what we do for atoi/itoa assumes you have a finite length. Same with the FFTs: the algorithms rely on finite length. Infinite-length bignum libraries have a huge cost on trivial things like this, and it's part of the cost of doing business in python.

There is a very good chance that the bignum library used here is not optimized for things like atoi and itoa - most bignum libraries are written for cryptography and math where these are not done frequently.
That's how it works in Australia. Employers report earnings, banks report interest, etc. and doing your tax return is logging into the tax office's web app, looking at what's there, adding any extra income, entering any deductions, and then hitting 'Submit'. Any return is electronically transferred within 14 days (otherwise you get a bill).

Once I have the statements I need from investment funds, etc. I've never had a tax return take much more than about half an hour, and I've never paid a cent to file anything.

It is an interrogation technique—nothing more. If you get stressed about lying as most people do you will probably get more stressed during a polygraph and your physical response will be measurable. This allows them to pressure you into admitting something you rather not admit. If you are a sociopath or practiced you will probably do just fine.

In fact, my pet theory is that some of our problems with policing in the US are a direct result of hiring practices such as the use of personality tests and the polygraph. I suspect you may inadvertently pass people who are experienced liars at a far greater than normal rate under normal interviewing practices.
It's not as bad as say sales tax, but it is regressive. Say I make $200,000 and my neighbor lives in an identical house and makes $400,000. We will both pay the same property tax. With an income tax they would pay more. I don't advocate for a wealth tax, but I do think a progressive income tax is a better way to raise revenue than property tax.
Zig might be a good alternative as it matures. As far as I understand, zig makes a lot of things explicit which are not in C, like explicitly passing the allocator when it’s needed. This might be even more edifying than C which has a little bit of magic going on.
It does help that like 50% of people fits one of 4 types in the first place :)

I still think the first language when I was an undergraduate (so, last century) was the correct choice: an ML in our case SML/NJ

The stuff about how this actually works can come later, we're not teaching electronics students here (or are we? Zig as first language for electronics students makes some sense)

I agree that (safe) Rust has too much stuff for a first language for Computer Scientists. Lifetimes! Polymorphism! Two entire Macro systems! although it's simpler than C++, surely nobody should teach that as first language.

Zig has a compelling case as a second language if you learned something less practical like ML as first language. Apparently a colleague now teaches Haskell to the equivalent undergraduate classes as a second (or maybe third?) language, and I think Rust would also fit in there for the same purpose but given how practical the current first language is (now Java) he probably doesn't want more practicality.

One thing I'd say for Rust is that we need to start teaching Safety and Correctness early. There's a reason the Medics don't wait until year four to do Ethics and Consent. If we want to stop writing software which is crap we need to start teaching the next generation of CS graduates that's not OK up front, not just in some Friday afternoon class about the Therac-25 which has maybe 40% attendance.
I’ve seen it and think it’s fake. He has a motor hidden in his seat tube. You can tell bc his pedals keep spinning rapidly. A well maintained bike shouldn’t keep spinning like that, but if you have a “motor doping” setup that sends power to the pedals through the bottom bracket they will.

Parents choose to have children; in my mind the responsibility flows in that direction, from parent to child. A child has no choice in the matter, why should they be saddled with responsibility?

I'll happily care for my mother as she ages - she's been a wonderful parent all my life. But I have friend whose parents basically just kept them alive to adulthood, kicked them out, and are now expecting years of "payback". No thanks.
It's not a glitch or an error, it's how the second chance pool works. They give them a new time when they get a fresh start. Their timestamp is temporarily updated, and any existing comments get that same timestamp. I think (but have never seen this confirmed) that this is a way to game the existing voting system (posts are ranked by a combination of votes, age, and comment activity). By giving them an artificially "young" age they move up in the ranking to hit the front page, giving them a chance for more votes (to remain on the front page) and comments.

After a few hours the original timestamp gets restored. Revisit this tomorrow (certainly) or in a few hours and the times will change.
Not sure that list of example injuries supports the “risks of serious injury or death” claim, but ymmv. If “contusions and abrasions” needs to be spelled out, it seems like someone’s padding the list. :)
Everyday goods becoming cheaper have significantly increased the quality of life of Americans. That trend will continue as energy becomes more abundant. Corporations can't monopolize profits on goods that are perfectly competitive.

What has decreased the quality of life, which offsets the above slightly and makes it appear as thought things aren't improving much, is goods that require domestic labor, such as education, whose price has outstripped CPI, and goods that have artificial regulatory capture which cause their price to be artificially high, such as insulin, and demerit goods such as opioids which detract from the utility of the customer.
Not sure about formatting code, I think that's a job for IDE or text editor, not the runtime.

How has your experience with it been?

When I tried it a few months ago, it was a cool novelty, but over time I found that it helped me with the simplest use cases, but often messed up in subtle ways for more complex code -- i.e., it would produce code that looked right and worked, but had really subtle bugs. Not sure if I was using it wrong, or if it's getting better... definitely has promise, but is it ready for production use yet?
I’m hesitant to update my Mac (it’s still on the last macOS with a 10 in the major version), and I’ve been cautious about the UI changes for several years now. I think the last time I updated during the contemporary release cycle was Yosemite. As far as being more motivated by OS updates in the past, I was one of the schmucks who paid $30 for the first Mac OS X public beta.

I update iOS on my phone as soon as I’m notified I can. I have not been disappointed once. I was also skeptical of moving tabs to the bottom in Safari, turns out it’s awesome! It did take me a bit to get used to. But I can actually reach the address bar, and I can swipe between tabs and even create new ones in the same motion. It’s everything I miss with whatever godforsaken extension I used to use on desktop to scroll between tabs, and a lot more reliable.

The problem with macOS is it’s clear these well considered designs are a backport even if they really put in the effort to make them fit on the Mac. I will stick to 3 year major version upgrades until it feels otherwise. And I’ll continue to update my phone as soon as I get the notification that I can, until I feel similarly disappointed.
What's been a problem is not being able to pass more than one argument through hash-bang.

Fix that one, and you can use

#!/usr/bin/env interpreter --arg --arg ...

Problem solved; no need to mess with the file system divisions.

For that matter ... the stupid hash bang mechanism itself should do PATH resolution, maybe, you know?

#!/usr/bin/awk -f <-- find awk at that absolute path

#!awk -f <-- Just use the darn PATH, dear hash-bang handling code in the kernel
Depends on where in the world you are.

For the US, it's on a state-by-state basis but rescue is usually free as long as it's a true emergency and you weren't blatantly reckless to begin with.

For other parts of the world, you might get a bill to recover the cost of rescue. But in most cases it's still usually free.

(Medical care once you get back to civilization is a different story.)

It's really not though. These apps are addictive! There's a real effort required to drop them and many(most?) people don't have what it takes to kick the habit.

I installed TikTok a few months ago to see what all the fuss was about. That shit is ADDICTIVE man. Even to me, a middle aged grump, who doesn't use any social media.

I had to uninstall the app a month later as I felt I was being dragged down into a endless scrolling coma.

Nearly all Apple services are available only in the US and Canada to start; this is nothing new.
