It's gotta be a choice, right?, since they're enabling or disabling the bounce scroll based on the pref. If it was just system-agnostic the pref wouldn't make a difference.

My understanding is all of the browsers contain a lot of custom widgets. Like, Safari is not drawing text using NSTextView or whatever.

Looking at Firefox and Safari side-by-side they look pretttty similar to me. Some very slight text rendering differences, and Firefox is maybe a touch less smooth to scroll than Safari. The bounce-scroll is a little bit more stiff.

I recorded a video if you want to see what I'm seeing:

There are so many different widget implementations out there now, maybe I'm just losing my sense of what "native" is. But the scroll physics feel right to me, the text looks right, the text selection and input and shortcuts all work...native enough for me!

People are always imagining they have "debunked" Myers-Briggs. All they demonstrate is that they didn't understand what it's for.

What it's good for is to help you understand how people who think differently than you do are often not wrong. Other people are super great at things you can't hardly do at all, for reasons. Putting people good at X doing Y instead is a formula for dissatisfaction for those putting and those put. People naturally try to sort themselves into work that they are good at, where how they think works best.

Great actors, pilots, artists, surgeons, musicians and engineers would mostly do one another's jobs very, very badly.

That is not to say there aren't hucksters peddling it for what it is useless for, but that is on the hucksters and their pigeons.
Their goal is to keep race bicycles close to bicycles used by normal people. They don't want to end up with Formula 1 or Indycar cars vs the car we use to go to the mall. Both have 4 wheels but that's it.

However there are competitions for non UCI bicycles. The speed world records are among them.

Do you think they plan out that far in advance? If so that is very impressive.
I don't doubt you, because that's a broad generalization, but do you know of contrary examples?
I’m aware of and was around when VCRs came out. They were always a huge pain to use and program. People would make the effort for really important things, but not for general TV shows. Because there wasn’t enough critical mass of people recording, TV shows weren’t made that would have taken advantage of it.

By the time TiVo came out, VCRs had almost been relegated to nothing, as the rental markets had moved to DVDs, and media companies were perfectly happy with consumers using products that were read-only. The idea of recording TV to a hard drive was absolutely revolutionary, as it finally made it easy enough to use and reach the critical mass needed for continuous storylines.
Yeah that's right, you need roughly twice the fuel volume, though that's easier to accommodate than needing to deal with a heavier fuel like ammonia, for example.

Blended wing bodies and flying wings might make more sense with LH2. They haven't happened so far because they're harder to certify (essentially from scratch vs a standard design which uses evidence from previous designs to expedite certification), and they don't work too well with existing airport infrastructure. If you're going through the trouble of certifying LH2 anyway, that could provide justification for a new design, and working with airports to get the infrastructure going.
Interestingly, the CIA spy that Lex Fridman had on [0] his podcast said that all the spy agencies use MBTI and that he (interviewee) thinks they are of value.

When it comes to fusion I am always in too minds about statements like this.

On one hand, yeah, it is something that we may be able to wrangle into something useful.

On the other, fusion can be seen as a perpetual motion machine that doesn't defy the laws of physics. It can kind of inhabit that same mind space.
I work in the HFT world. They might do it for new graduates, not so much after that.
One of the reasons I wanted to be a high earner as a kid was because I saw people go under due to medical expenses and expenses taking care of handicapped people. Fast forward a couple of decades and... I'm taking care of handicapped family members and paying a shit ton for an admittedly fantastic medical insurance plan. This would be extreme hardship for most people, but I was able to retire early & am able to handle the load.

I will say there are tons and tons of programs for people in this position. I haven't taken advantage of any of them but most areas have some kind of "navigator" to help you find the ones best for you.
It doesn’t, scams and social engineering campaigns that deliver malware via that vector are extremely common.
Lisp is also proffered as being foundational in some sense. I would argue that the LC is a better foundation.

Google restricts employee travel to “business critical” trips
I get what you mean, but I think the AirPods pretty well live up to the “it just works” magic of cords. The UI is deeply intuitive. We’re talking the easiest to use product of the most UX obsessed company on earth. I can understand being put off the cost for something that you will use for a few years then toss in the bin, but then again almost everything eventually become trash.
I love when projects have cute puns in the name. I always am sure to correct people so they don't miss out on the fun. Luckily most developers are pedantic and like language enough that they don't get too annoyed with me. Same thing applies to PostgreSQL, it drives me nuts that sqlalchemy is not sqlchemy.

completely off topic at this point, but Jim Cornette reading paid advertisements for codecademy was very funny during the pandemic. He insisted on pronouncing it code-cademy while his co-host tried to correct him.

You might be interested in Lazard's "Levelized Cost Of Energy" PDF (https://www.lazard.com/media/451905/lazards-levelized-cost-o... , from https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...).

On page 15 note "This analysis does not take into account potential social and environmental externalities or reliability-related considerations", and that solar and wind do not get the checkmark for "baseload" -- only "intermittent".

Pages 13 and 14 show Fuel Costs as:

Wind: 0
Solar: 0
Coal: $13-$18/MWh ($0.013 - $0.018 per kWh)
Fission: $9/MWh ($0.009 per kWh)
Natural Gas: $21-34/MWh ($0.021 - $0.034 per kWh)

As a retail consumer, I'm paying about $0.15 per kWh, though I know that includes transmission and distribution and retail markup.

Fusion has the potential to be very low on fuel costs. But the capital costs are an unknown. In my original comment, I tried to show that when amortized over enough kWh for sale, even $Billions in capital costs could make sense, if they give us a machine that produces zero-carbon baseload electrical generation at scale.

I've seen that done for read-only code readers, Backbone.js' annotated source code [1] comes to mind, but I wonder how that would work for the editing portion of an editor.

Vim has code folding ability, which you can set up to apply to comments. I'm sure this isn't exclusive to Vim though.
Indeed, Apple keeps designs around for quite a while, while other brands iterate more quickly it seems. The notch and fingerprint scanner when underscreen cameras and scanners are available, the MacBook 2016 design, the Apple mouse, are all examples that come to mind.
The more you use something the more it makes sense to spend on it, assuming your extra spending is getting you something. If you used them significantly for two years, it sounds like you got a lot of value out of them.

The US tax code is longer than the C++ standard if you count only the laws that are active today. If you add on the rulings in IRS tribunals, clarifying papers, and other publications, the US tax code is something like 100,000 pages. It is easy to see a profession being established around learning to read that sort of thing.

The solution to the tax prep industry isn't to have the IRS do your taxes for you, it's to reduce the size of the tax code.
Google is reportedly cracking down employee travel and team meetups
Yes, things are about to get really bad.

The problem is that it's not limited to just one crisis:

1. Inflation - It turns out that you can't just keep printing money for about a year to pay for people not to work, and expect the currency to not suffer from inflation. It's a miracle it is not further inflated (although I might be speaking too soon). As inflation increases, your monthly pay becomes worth less whilst everything around you becomes more expensive.

2. Global recession - This is coming. The euro is now below the dollar and continues to fall. The dollar will crash soon too. Shorts are increasing by the day (open any stock graph).

3. Energy crisis - Companies are already looking to migrate away from the EU during winter. Those that stay will have to battle with high-priced, unreliable (read: rolling blackouts) energy supply. I would expect work-from-home becomes a requirement. I read that the EU are looking to subsidize energy and cap non-natural gas to 200 euros a MW, but this is doomed to fail.

4. Increased social issues - Lower quality of living, less funding for social programs, less funding for police, etc, will lead to higher crime. Schools have already said they will not be able to heat schools and therefore would have to send students home. Suddenly you have millions of bored teenagers whilst their parents are at work.

5. Food crisis - This one is yet to hit. There is a bill to pay for the energy crisis, droughts, fertilizer shortages, decreased global food supply, increased shipping costs and more. I suggest everybody start slowly (not panic) buying in some excess basics like rice and flour. Worst case, it's a bad prediction and you slowly use it over the next year. Worst case, it could serve as the base of your meals during hard times.

6. Strikes - People will want to strike, but this will likely only make things worse. We will see strikes from more and more critical roles, which will only further stall the economy and make recovery further away. If you don't believe in the power of a few people striking, jog your memory to the Canadian trucker strike. Believe it or not, it could be far worse.

7. Financial commitments - Europe won't be the first to fall and will likely be obligated to help out other Countries. For example, if the EU doesn't help with the Pakistani floods, these are potentially future asylum seekers, which will exasperate the situation. You also have financial commitments to military defense and the Ukraine-Russia war. As times get tougher, things will likely get worse.

8. War - The West (US + EU + friends) are currently heavily involved in international peace commitments. It is highly likely that Countries biding time will seize on the weakness of the West and further their own agenda. I expect to see China increase their timeline to invade Taiwan (this is a matter of pride and future financial + neighbor security). I would also suggest to watch Africa which is largely debt trapped. There are quite a few other places.

There are also quite a few other factors, but this is already too long. I highly suggest to take actions now to ensure basic survival.
You have to look at the business side of things, too. Apple has to pay a lot of money to whoever is managing and maintaining the satellites behind this and if you only ever pay when you need it you might not never pay at all. The correct mindset to have about this is that it's like insurance — you can't pick up insurance only after the fact when you need it, otherwise all insurance providers would be broke.
An excellent article about how flawed this is: The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: A popular but flawed way of understanding your personality

> You spend 40+ hours a week on you and your career. Your manager spends a small fraction of that directly on your career.

If your manager has little more leverage than you do, that's true. In many orgs, managers have considerably more leverage than their reports, and their help is mandatory to get some things (promotions, pay increase, access to conferences and trainings, changing teams, passing messages up the chain or laterally, support for escalation, etc).

The only trump card the report has is leaving, but they pay for that by losing all the social capital acquired at the current company.
You claimed without proof:

> As for "voluntary" euthanasia: don't even start. There is no such thing. Your old father doesn't want to be a burden, but he's helpless, and it's all too easy to "convince" him to take the pill.

This claim can be refuted by providing even one case of voluntary euthanasia, which at this point you can see in the replies.
My parents built their house so they could grow old in it (if they couldn't climb the stairs they could move in downstairs, for example). When they got into their 80s though they found it too much effort to look after.

Also my mum saw what happened to her patients as they got old: they became quite lonely because they couldn't get out as much to see people; they didn't have as many visitors because the same was true of their friends. Becoming bedridden was very isolating, and if your spouse died and you fell, you might not be found for a while.

So I helped them move into a retirement home. They have friends, meet new people (everybody's in a hurry to do that because people are "departing" all the time). It's basically a nice apartment building with a gym snd such and I doubt there's anyone there under the age of 75. It has various affordances for older people. Attached to the apartment is another building for people who need more assistance, and beyonf that a "memory care" center and one for people who are bedridden. They are quite happy with it.

OTOH my grandmother sold her house and moved herself into a "senior apartment complex" when she was about 80, but she kept on delivering meals on wheels into her mid 80s. When she really couldn't look after herself in her mid 90s she moved into senior care centre but she hated it -- she didn't really like old people. But she'd been a widow for almost 50 years, and those of her friends who weren't dead were all disabled one way or another, so she just offed herself.

I have another friend (mother of my friends) who is in her late 80s and stuck at home. Her kids pay for round the clock in home care and the one who lives nearby is over there a lot. Fortunately she is losing her marbles a bit so it all works out.

So everybody is different. Also, financially, everybody is different. They have an actuarial life expectancy of another decade. If one of them loses their marbles it could be $250K-$500K per annum to look after them well.
Nah, what's incredibly cruel is forcing people to spend their last months in extreme pain and/or enduring severe mental illness
...and? Yes, there's a difference, but Peloton isn't just selling "peloton bikes," they've trademarked the name Peloton. Unless you are agreeing that a phone company named "Phone" would be as bad as a company named "Peloton"
This CRL rule is about the Web PKI, for which currently policy requires new certificates expire after no more than 398 days.

The previous status was the certificates could last up to 825 days, however that policy changed at the end of August 2020, so there are no extant certificates under those rules which expire after this year. And before that the policy was 39 months, but the last such certificate expired in 2021. Before that the policy was 5 years, but that policy changed in 2015 and so such certificates are long expired.

I'm not understanding the math. Globalstar satellites (I assume) are each individually able to transmit/receive dozens-to-hundreds of voice calls.

An iPhone is -- and only when out of cellular coverage -- transmitting position or message packet of a few Kb (?) very infrequently via the satellite. Multiply by even a few thousands of iPhones per satellite (if that), how does this equal 85% of satellite capacity?
What? Install Firefox Focus on iOS. Use it directly, or select it as a content blocking provider for Safari to get ad blocking in Safari.
If I remember correctly the iPhone Pro models allow you to enable macro mode in the settings while the non-pro don't. Using different camera apps doesn't help. I've done a hands-on comparison between a Pro and non-Pro model, the difference in close-up shots is staggering.
Are the battery packs with a solar panel on them worth it?
have any links?
Then your understanding is correct :-), I was not making an argument about the relative merits of appliance OSes. The point I was trying to make, and it relates to the linked article that I read and the features they are highlighting, is that the gap between "appliance" OSes and "general purpose" OSes, is narrowing. Both because the "general purpose" OSes are becoming more appliance like, and the "appliance" OSes are becoming more generalizable[sic].

As they get closer, differentiating them becomes more challenging. And I am really curious about how this affects both markets.

I've been involved in hiring at several tech companies, including two top 5. Cover letters were never considered in any part of the interview process. Our recruiters didn't even include them in the candidate packet. So, there definitely isn't any uniformity in the way cover letters are perceived.
I have a strong preference for fast compilation, but the trade-off with analysis is not so straightforward.

Just finishing compilation is not sufficient to find problems, testing is needed too; if compilation and analysis can be done faster than compilation and testing, then you can still come out ahead.

I think SBCL shows that there's a decent amount of low hanging fruit for analysis; it catches a surprising number of errors with reasonably fast compilation (incremental compilation of dozens of functions feels instant), and notes places where the code could be restructured to allow for better analysis.
The state should have ultimate responsibility once it accepts the return from a resident. If the federal runs an audit and finds a mistake it needs to "convince" the state to do better: actions through Congress, fines based on a narrow system, forced training, etc., or just eat the loss (or take the gain).

In this model the federal government only deals with inter-state taxation and with collecting taxes from the state.

The goal is to take away the responsibility AND authority from the federal IRS, to streamline the process. If the IRS remains responsible but just has the states "do a first draft", it's useless.
The UK might fair off quite well being decoupled from the EU during this coming crisis.
I think skyscrapers are an anti-pattern (though they're better than suburbs of course) because the are oppressive, block the sky, create artificially high density, and don't have features like porches where you can say high to your neighbors. You can't just walk out your front door. If there's a fire? Screwed. If you need something fixed? You depend on specialized workers (even more so than a house). Etc. They're a little anti-social. You also don't tend to have any meaningful outdoor space. I think somewhere like Amsterdam (and there are many, many other examples) is a better model. You want diversity in your buildings and living arrangements too. You want to be able to walk out your front door and down the block to a coffee shop without any barriers (car, or elevator). You want to see your neighbors and their kids. You want to be able to do work on your dwelling that you control.

Now I'm not saying that living in a skyscraper is like some sort of dystopia (though I think they look dystopian in a different way than suburbs do), but then again neither are the suburbs really. So I don't think I can honestly rail against one (except on energy expenditure) and not the other since to me they are both bad compromises whereas medium density, mixed-use walkable towns and neighborhoods with height limits probably around 3-5 stories give you everything you could ever want and more. They blow everything else out of the water.

Thanks for the continued discussion!
Even a “pre-pay for a day of help” would be great. You could spend $100 in January, and keep that credit on file; then, if you need help in September, you can start up your 24-hour window.

But given the era of recurring subscription revenue above all else, I think we know how Apple will handle this.

I have used mine 2 hours per day for about 2 years and the battery still lasts about 2.5 hours of talk time.

MBTI pretty much takes what are supposed to be basically unimodal binomial distributions and ... slices them and labels the halves different things. Even without getting into whether it's testing something sensible, it's pretty clear that the typology is fundamentally fucked.
> A stethoscope in the hands of a doctor is a useful, if limited, tool.

The MBTI is tea leaves reading. It has been experimentally shown to have no relationship to reality and no predictive power time and time again. Even the axis don’t make sense as some are heavily correlated.

The Big 5 is useful but far more complicated. It uses scale and has no pretty little boxes but at least it seems to consistently measure something.
Their interns are easily the top 1% of CS students in the US. Some of their interns who attend CMU already have OCaml experience, as CMU uses OCaml for their compilers course. Some of their interns have interned at other trading firms.

It's tricky even just pulling out key episodes from Season 1, because a lot of what you need is the character work. You can get all the raw plot elements that come up again later, but if you're not somewhat invested in characters like Londo and G'kar, the impact of later events is going to be dulled.
Yea I have T-Mobile as well and like it quite a bit. Even if very few customers took advantage of this offering it gives you a sense of safety that taps into the same nerve center that something like the Amex Platinum and lounge access does.
SimCity says humanity unlocks fusion power plants by 2050, and I always thought that was as reasonable an estimate as any. Based on page 5, it looks like we should have reliable fusion in the lab by 2040, and give that 5-10 years to scale up to production plants widely available. Hopefully Will Wright turns out to be pessimistic and we break through before then!
We shard out to 1 SQLite database per user's working session, so there really isn't a meaningful figure if you are looking for apples-to-apples in a traditional sense.

Our most heavily loaded SQLite instance probably sees 100 writes per second. In aggregate, we can handle tens of thousands of requests per second.
