Unfortunately it feels better to give to an individual than it does many people, even though we can maximize the good we can do by donating more strategically. If it weren't the case many more would donate to e.g. the effective altruism movement.

I'm no better. I donate to charity, but I still feel best about myself for times I helped people change a flat, etc.
nothing on improving the mic and moving away from bluetooth =(
We see the divergence from aesthetics in wood shops, auto shops, and other building shops. Moveable panels, exposed circuitry/plumbing/gas lines. A home typically hides its utility parts behind solid objects (i.e. a wall) that need invasive cutting to reach. Even still, an electrician adds an outlet in the exact process you mention, but it's a little messier and costs $150.
No, not at all.

The bad case would be if Let's Encrypt discovers a problem (like a security flaw or implementation error in a validation method, as happened with the TLS-ALPN-01 method before) and concludes that it has to mass-revoke a very large number of affected certificates.
What was the pipenv fiasco?
That's not Jane Street's process at all. I know first hand people from schools you've never even heard of that got internship offers, and I also know first hand people from MIT that got resume screened out. I'm not going to claim that there is no school bias at all, I don't know the finer details - but it's definitely not explicit as you describe. There are a lot of comments all over the internet (including this thread) from people at non-target schools that were interviewed.

There are some trading companies that do seem to legitimately do that kind of filtering (Two Sigma's application has a drop down menu for school with like 10 options and then "Other", DE Shaw asks for your SAT score, etc.). So I can see where the idea came from, but it's not true of JS.
These will be an insta-buy for me. I've loved my AirPods Pro but the battery life has fallen from when I first got them. I knew that would be the case and I'm not mad about it. I'm excited for the touch control on these as well as the better ANC. Also the case having Find My support will be very nice. I'll finally get the MagSafe case as well since that came out later and I never upgraded.

I have wondered about that. What stops a mobile phone from benefiting from that and RTK?
> It's not that different, no. At the scale of large institutions these two things blur together significantly. They "can" fire staff for incompetence in theory but if they actually do that more than once in a blue moon then the unions will revolt, so they develop a culture of never actually doing so because that's easier than trying to figure out if this time it won't cause a backlash.

Very many people are fired for poor performance each year. This is because no hospital wants the liability of poor staff; it's also because they have a legal "duty of candour" so they have to explain to patients when something goes wrong that they knew this healthcare professional was deficient; it's also because they have legal duties to report substandard healthcare to their regulators, and also report substandard care to the regulators of the HCP. You saying "they don't fire staff" is just a fucking enormous red flag that you don't have the first clue what you're talking about, and that you're arguing in bad faith from an ideological position.

You keep repeating the same thing - that the NHS is one big organisation, run by the goverment. Neither is true. Until you can break this misconception you're going to come up with stuff ("they can't fire workers because unions") that's so wrong it makes any convo impossible.
There are indeed those that are shockingly naive, and they are likely the majority. To give the benefit of the doubt though, it is widely accepted, even within say the Austrian school, that free markets need guardrails, and those guardrails are kinda like Fermat's famous "I'd write out the proof but there's no space in the margin". People underestimate what is necessary to provide reasonable levels of information symmetry, a just legal system, what constitutes fraud and false advertising, and so on. In the real world, you have mega corps in one corner and individuals in another, so the game is never as fair as "I trade you my tomatoes for your oranges" leads you to believe. As a result, there's a wide range of opinions amongst free marketers. The loudest tend to be accepting of things like insider trading, sex work and even organ selling, although that's likely not representative of people who self-identify with free market ideology.

I think haskell does this right. You can make function infix by turning "add a b" into "a `add` b" and you can't overload existing operators but you can make your own and do "a _+ b" or whatever and everybody will know it isn't the standard + but it's still readable.

Smart software untangles gene regulation in cells
Anecdotally, I've never had this issue. Is it something that happens often?
One term was written by someone paid $120,000 to write software, the other by someone paid $120,000 to write marketing copy. ;)
Thanks, that's good to know.

I was thinking more about how eSIM really limits you and adds carrier control. For example, my partner has a cell plan that allows you a big bucket of data, then lets you link multiple SIMs to that data. The idea is it's for your tablets, watches, etc. But I use a secondary SIM from his plan on my phone to add to my data for free. But there's no way to install an eSIM for this plan on a secondary device as it wasn't an "intended use" to use multiple phones. With a physical SIM, I can use this data on any device I choose.

eSIM is a very nice convenient feature, but not at the expense of a physical SIM.

Do you know how much money the government allocates? I think there is no evidence for the thesis and massive amounts of evidence against it. The concept of a failed state is one where the government has failed leaving the population to allocate their money as they see fit. Generally they don’t work out too well.

I’m not saying basic income doesn’t work, I’m just saying this isn’t the reason it might work.
Recumbent vehicles like velomobiles: https://trisled.com.au/hpv-type/road/ These bikes are insanely fast. An untrained person can easily keep up with Tour de France riders. Now add a small 300W electric motor to it and you don't need a car for most transportation at all. Their Achilles' heel is that carbon fiber production is labor intensive so velomobiles are expensive since their frames are made of carbon fiber. If someone could automate carbon fiber manufacturing and bring down costs they could revolutionize urban transportation.
All companies need to show returns, otherwise they run out of money and die. Not sure what VC funding has to do with this except, perhaps, making the "live open or die" model seem attractive at the start.

Show HN: FFI Between Gambit Scheme and CPython
Hi HN,

Pr. Marc Feeley and I have just released a new module for Gambit. The 'python' module is available at https://github.com/gambit/python. It is a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to CPython which combines a low-level API with a syntactic interface that allows Gambit users to interface with Python code. The module also offers a Foreign Procedure Call mechanism that bridges the CPython and Gambit threading models.

For example, it is now possible for Gambit users to import Python modules as such:

> \import math

> (cos \math.pi)

-1.

This module requires a recent Gambit version compiled with the '--enable-multiple-threaded-vms' option. The GitHub repo contains a short README with instructions as well as a few examples to get you started. We will be giving a talk about our work at the upcoming Scheme Workshop (https://icfp22.sigplan.org/details/scheme-2022-papers/7/An-F...). You can get a preprint of the accompanying article at https://andykeep.com/SchemeWorkshop2022/scheme2022-final22.p... .

We had fun developing this and while there are still a few known kinks, the software is generally quite stable and enjoyable. Please notify us of any problems, or just to showcase your work!

Cheers!
Did they fix the microphone? The thing is barely usable because of the random mic error that starts broadcasting outside noises instead of the voice.

I RMAed mine twice and Apple didn’t challenge me so they are well aware of the issue. Naturally the issue came back with the 3rd AirPods Pro but I just won’t bother RMAing at this point.

So is it anyhow addressed in the new model? The other features are frankly insignificant, as AirPods Pro are already nearly as good as it gets for this kind of gadget.

Battery life is nice sure etc but it’s all diminishing returns at this point i thunk
Though it certainly seems counter-intuitive that the efficiency of a developer has absolutely no business value, my only point was that developers have their own metrics for praise of their peers, not that business should adopt them.

I've never heard of coders gushing over how fast someone got a piece of crap to market, no matter how profitable it was. Adobe development, for example, was one of the first to release their pro applications on Apple's PowerPC platform, but no one was impressed because their carbonized code was known not to be as performant as it would have been if ported natively in Cocoa. On the other hand, they also took a lot of grief for taking so long (wasn't it about 5 years?) to finally release Cocoa versions of those applications, just in time for Apple's platform switch to Intel, to be run in Apple's Classic emulator.
It was my shoeshine boy moment, for sure.
Touch volume control removes my biggest pain point with the original. I might actually get two: one for my Apple devices and another for Windows/Android
> Which bunch of shares did you sell? Was it a short term gain or a long term gain? Was it a loss? It depends. Neither your broker or IRS knows the answer, but you do.

Your broker does know because you need to tell them which ones to sell when you sold.

The IRS also knows because that's included in the cost basis reported to them by the broker. (This changed some number of years ago, brokers used to only report the income from the sale but not the cost.)

> Yak shaving includes tasks that you have to complete in order to do whatever your original intent was.

The example (and definition) in the actual article disagree with you:

"You want to bake an apple pie, so you head to the kitchen.
In the hallway, you notice some paint chipping on the wall.
So you walk to the hardware store for some paint."

You obviously don't need to deal with the paint chipping before baking an apple pie.

Wikitionary gives both definitions: a blocking task or a procrastination detour
I love my AirPod Pros, but I hate how unreliable charging in the case is. The AirPods will often think they are out of the case, when they are, and discharge themselves, while connected to my phone/laptop.

Then they will re-charge, emptying the battery in the case, so I will end up with a dead pair of AirPods after a couple of days in the pocket, not using them.

I guess their tolerances are too tight, hopefully something that will be fixed with AirPod Pro 2, it is a big annoyance.

Some times they will also not pick up that they are being put into my ears, so I have to put them back in the case a couple of times for them to react. Really annoying too.
Yeah two way bluetooth bandwidth is too low to support high quality audio. People speaking on airpods sound horrible
What if the person you're replying to really, really likes Zig except for this one aspect of it?
Very impressed by the H2's computational algorithms. Those are the most advanced type of algorithms.
> The US has a very progressive income taxation system

It has strongly progressive main rates for income tax, but it has extremely regressive exclusions from income taxation and from the main rates, and it has a whole separate regressive system of taxation on labor income not characterized as an income tax in its payroll taxes.

It also, viewing state and federal systems combined, has a very large portion of total taxes in other, non-income, taxes which tend to be regressive.
Adaptive Transparency is such a promising feature. I would love if transparency mode could eliminate the sound of noises like air conditioners, road noise, and construction while still being "transparent". It seems that, as of now, it's limited to loud noises only.

I hope it at least eliminates the hear-loss-causing pops that occur when you have loud, brief clicking noises like that of a bug zapper. For older models, you should never use the Airpods next to a bug zapper. I learned the hard way, in the form of tinnitus.
That was a typo, supposed to say "memory unsafety". Thanks for catching that, edited now.
there isn't a linear time algorithm, but there is an algorithm in O(n*log(n)^2) http://maths-people.anu.edu.au/~brent/pd/rpb032.pdf which is pretty close. it also seems weird to have a CVE for "some algorithms don't run in linear time". should there be a 4000 element maximum for the size of list passed to sort?
In recent years by law the brokerage company tracks the lots you buy and when you sell you can select which to sell. The gains are reported accordingly on the forms the brokerage company sends at the end of the year.

Things get more complicated when you are trading the same security across different brokers because they can’t detect wash sales. The IRS has the information to detect was sales.
I prefer auth0. It's simple enough for a simple SaaS.
I started my career as a programmer in the late 90s, the golden age of consultants.

Two jokes from that era that reveal how they were viewed by the rank-and-file:

---

A young zookeeper walks into the zoo on her first day of work. As she was being given the tour she notices 3 cages each containing a monkey and a computer.

"What's with these monkeys?" she asked her new boss.

"An amazing experiment. Look at this one" he said, pointing at the first cage. The monkey was sitting beside a small pile of bananas while happily typing on the keyboard - occasionally stopping to take a bite.

"This monkey will produce over 200 lines of Visual Basic a day so long as it gets a few bananas."

"Wow! What about this one", said the new hire, pointing the to second cage where the monkey was typing faster next to a larger pile of bananas.

"That monkey eats more but produces over 300 lines of fully debugged Java a day"

The trainee was astounded and pointed to the last cage, where the monkey was sitting on top of a huge pile of bananas, seemingly asleep. "What about that last monkey? He has the most bananas but doesn't appear to be doing anything."

"We don't know what that monkey does," explained the boss, "but he calls himself a consultant"

What is the difference between a shopping cart with a broken wheel and a consultant?

The shopping cart seems to have a mind of its own but you can fit a lot more food and drink inside the consultant.
There's less advertisement about CPU core performance on A16 so I expect there's little (less than A14 to A15) improvement for that. It's completely fine for iPhone but not good sign for future M3 for Mac/iPad.
A dogmatic one, by the sounds of it.

I scratch my head when people think Rust is the "the answer". Zig has different trade offs to Rust and in some areas is safer. It is also a much smaller language , and hopefully won't need language lawyers to debate endlessly best practices. A gentle reminder to people that even "safe" Rust code can still crash. We always need to be vigilant and take our time to actually think about what we are doing and not just on the problem we are trying to solve.
That's what I'm wondering. It's impossible to do anything while on a call without the other side complaining that it sounds like I'm banging cutlery on my pots.
I mentioned this upcoming work in a comment last week. Here it is :) Any comments appreciated!
You wouldn't. It's mostly for people who own older iPhones. Other than the pro models, it's a minor update.
> I can basically treat the state as a render loop that runs from top to bottom every time.

If you use vue like this. I think you will never use vue properly. In vue, state IS the ui. UI is always direct mapping of state. You setup state, you describe mapping between state and dom. And the rest of things will be maintained by vue. Data is the trust anchor of everything. UI is derived from it and you shouldn't even think about update it yourself.

And vue also makes lots of utils specified to map or handling data change. (Personally I think the most important one is computed, as it is the bridge between the the different form of same state)
> If you really want zero carbon you can use only hand tools and harvest your own trees.

Why on earth can't power tools run off renewables?
And even hand tools/nails/ bolts etc. have embedded CO2 emissions.

biodiversity doesnt make you money

Also there are many potential biotech revolutions - like China developing rice that can use salt water - if our crops could use seawater like the mangroves, that wouod be huge.

Another massive thing, is perrenial crops - meaning you dont have to plant them every year. There are perrenial cousins of our staple foods like wheat, but firstly they are harder to automatically harvest/manage, secondly they do not benefit from thousands of years of selective breeding. So we gave to invest massive amounts of money to ger their yields up, and even if you do, there is no guarantee consumers will eat them - they taste a bit different

Regardless of our thoughts on Web3, I find it amusing that the FBI asks you to provide all your personal info (including SIM/IMEI) to determine if you are "part of an investigation".
Is there a light that indicates charging? I know with my super cheap earbuds I rely heavily on that light to avoid the problem you describe...
Don't know if that is what they're suggesting, but I would suggest:

owner/board -> worker teams (up to 5 individuals) -> team helper (this is the previous manager role)

Edit: I will also add that it's strange, the more experience I have of incompetent managers, the more I'm told I don't understand them!
Something like bottle.py would be an excellent candidate for inclusion. The real reason to avoid putting anything into the standard library is that it seems to often be the place where code goes to stagnate and die for Python.
You don't even know for certainty that Apple doesn't have the same/similar problems in an unreleased device/OS....

I'm not saying they do have those issues, but how do you know they don't? You can't compare a released product to a marketing ad.
I’ve never seen anyone use them for non Apple devices , how well do they work?
Yep. Airpods simply do not support decent sounding duplex audio: https://youtu.be/N6Y_Q7RYmmY?t=351
I've only been trading stocks since 2005ish, but all the brokers I've dealt with have had ways to tell them which shares I was selling. And if I didn't pick them, they'd pick for me. Nowadays, they're required to track cost basis for regular shares. Even if you have shares where they won't report a cost basis, you're supposed to tell them which shares you're selling before the transaction settles.

Employment compensation related shares get weird, but they will at least track the purchase date or the date it entered their system anyway.
Interesting. I learned something today. Thanks.

New technical analysis confirms the evidence against Billy Mitchell
Hard drives do not have this metadata, the filesystem does.

Yes, this is exactly what I said.

People use the same filesystems on HDD and SSD drives.

Yes, of course, but I'm not talking about filesystems but the reasoning behind why fragmentation matters on Hard Drives and not SSDs.

Fragmented files still require more blocks to say where the various parts are.

I don't have a comparison file to review, but in all measurable and tangible matters, this point is moot as it does not impact SSD performance, only Hard Disk performance is affected by fragmentation.
But it seems to me language features help the understanding. You'll need to learn whatever library or custom code was used instead of a language feature with the added headache that you need to learn it every time and you'll see many implementations.

That said, I'm used to Java or C# as far as language size goes and I don't feel suffocated by it. I'm not sure if its a natural inclination or a learned skill.
My experience lines up with this. I've worked for large and small companies, as well as the federal govt. My impression of the govt department I was in was that it was reasonably efficient for its size; which, since it was huge, meant it was not very efficient. That said, it didn't seem notably worse than the large corporation I'd worked for. In fact they seemed quite similar to each other.
I'm replying to you and YOUR post. Capitalization for emphasis.

???? NASA brought us SpaceX and other competitive private space companies... can't blame them when Obama got rid of the budget for these wasteful things then they had to back peddle because of politics ...

without NASA there wouldn't be any SpaceX's and others doing space projects ....
