I love the addition of more accessibility features. If the “Conversation Boost” feature can work the way I hope it does, I would buy a pair or 2 of these immediately.

I have often desired a feature similar to “transparency” except it would amplify sounds, basically hearing aids when you boil it down.

> It’s long been known that an average person on a bicycle is a more efficient translator of energy per gram per kilometre than any other machine or animal

This seems highly questionable. I would hazard a guess for example that cargo ships are significantly more energy efficient per gram per kilometer.

Edit: indeed my intuition was right, going by Wikipedia. Domestic waterborn and rail can transport a metric ton (i.e. 1000 kg) of freight 4-6 km using 1 MJ of energy. By contrast, a velomobile can transport a person ~12 km using 1 MJ of energy, but a person weights only about 70 kg.
I'd give a strong agree to this.

For years I've taken to restyling websites, largely to make them easier to read and focus on. Starting with simply eliminating extraneous elements (social-media link-litter, registrations sign-ups, etc.), to re-specifying fonts, line-heights, and the like. What I notice is that even with only a few deletions or tweaks my mind starts settling far more at ease.

Using an e-ink tablet / book-reader for the past year and a half (see comments elsewhere in this thread), I've become highly attuned to how much typography matters both for the Web and in print. Whilst Web design is a dumpster fire, there are a tremendous number of poorly-typeset books as well (though as a ratio the latter seems a smaller set of the whole), some of which I simply cannot stand to read.

Web content generally reads better in monochrome (though some contextual details may be lost especially in graphics relying on colour). Animation is glaringly annoying, especially with high-quality display settings (more faithful text reproduction leads to slower refreshes and a flashing on animated elements). Poor text, typography, and colour schemes (anything reducing text/background contrast) are similarly highly evident, and kill readability.

Conventions of typography have evolved over centuries, largely based on the ergonomics of humans reading text. Violate them with extreme caution, you're all but certain to make things worse rather than better.

Great handle, BTW.
I always liked the argument that what should be highlighted is not the syntax but the structure, that is to say, different variables and objects should get different colors, this is never done because it requires your editor to understand the state of your program, that is, a very hard task.

Other that that, at least for me, a little syntax highlighting goes a long way, mostly I don't use it at all.

A society that creates people who feel entitled to say they don't owe anything to those who made immense sacrifices for them (even though nobody chooses their relatives), is quite sad.

It's a society so individualistic that deprives one of the main pleasures of human life: making a difference in the lives of those you love.

I forgot where I read it, but there's a rumor that Apple is only planning to release a Mini phone every other year.
T-Mobile and Starlink announced a partnership to offer call/texting/data usage when outside of cell coverage. They mentioned this would be free for premium plans and paid for lower cost plans.

Apple uses high orbit satellites for SOS and "Find My" limited to iPhones; Starlink/T-Mobile would use low orbit satellites not limited to for SOS/calling/texting/data ("Find My") for any brand/model phone.

"People should just take more personal responsibility when facing this societal problem" is itself a lazy response. We already know from smoking, car crashes, use of asbestos, etc, that chiding people to personally take action does very little to move the needle on anything compared to collectively-instituted safety measures.

(And, yes, I'd count this kind of stuff at least partly as a safety issue, given how endlessly training people to constantly look at their phones has affected the rate of vehicle collisions over the past decade.)

People are kinda bitter about this. You can design around it, but it makes a lot of things way bigger jobs than they should be. I was just explaining my way around this one today. You port from v2 to v3 and all of a sudden it's basically a rewrite to make everything datum serializable and every function re-entrant because you never know when chrome is going kill your process.

At this point, it's just the way it is now with Google. They promised Crostini for kaby lake chromebooks (I think; maybe another chip) for like 3 years in a row. A thousand comments on there. People are just frustrated.
That doesn't matter. Your phone can still covertly record GPS coordinates everywhere you are and phone home where you've been once you're back online.

QC35 here and have been surprised how much better they were then the Sony equivalent at the time. If I stop audio on my iPhone, then play audio on my iPad - the headphones switch automatically.

In saying that, it seems to fail with more then 2 devices despite being able to remember 3 devices at a time.

If I have the headphones connected to iPhone and iPad, then want to use my laptop I will normally need to switch bluetooth off on the mobile devices before turning on the headphones - allowing it to connect to the computer. A little annoying but still faster then messing around with cables.
I think the best course of action is to add multiple keys when you sign up. If you follow best practices you should already be adding multiple yubikeys in your account so just keep doing the same.

And if you make a SPOT call nobody may be out there for a while. I looked into getting one just in case. Where I like to camp, in BLM land, SPOT calls the "local" 911 responder which is 2.5 hours away and run by CHP. Back then they said it can take up to 72 hours for someone to get a team together to look for you. The owners of the backpacking store I went to, whom I know, said it wouldn't be worth my money.

I imagine there's better coverage in a national park though.

"Return to the workforce" is such a dystopian paradigm. What could be more important or more valuable to society than caring for those who need it? Why would "professional" caregivers be part of the workforce, but the loving care from a family member is considered valueless? Why aren't we lamenting that more of our elderly are shuffled off to die basically alone, instead of fretting over some percentage hit to the economy?

I like the efforts by California and Biden to expand leave, but just take issue with the framing of parts of the article.

(I wonder if the decision to exclude child rearing and other family contributions from GDP calculations was one of the most dehumanizing long-term forks in the world's history. But I'm far from well-informed on these complicated economics issues.)
Clearly not true.
The original claim was:

> The borrow checker doesn't stop most memory errors, just the easy ones at the cost of making it painful to write basic data structures

I'm not the OP but I think the point here is that the borrow checker is only applicable for the "easy" code (which does make up an awful lot of code), but even "basic data structures" very often require abandoning the borrow checker. In such a case, it's perfectly accurate to say "the borrow checker doesn't stop most memory errors" since you must turn it off when you write the code responsible for "most memory errors" -- at least that is the case in my experience.

So in this type of discussion, consider arguments about the capabilities of "the borrow checker" as analogous to arguments about "the memory safety of Rust in general", rather than taking it so literally.

If you want to make a sensible argument on this front, it should be about unsafe belonging mostly in crates that have been thoroughly looked over and battle-tested by the community. That is after all, a major reason why the number of such errors is still impressively small. But unsafe errors are still Rust errors, and while the borrow checker is wonderful, it and Rust should still be held accountable for problems in necessary code that requires disabling the borrow checker.

I think Zig does pretty well on this front, with there being pros and cons to not having a clearly demarcated "unsafe" boundary built into the language. Lacking an unsafe keyword does make it more unsafe, but in my experience, not very much.
> Races would be won on the flats instead of the hills.

Why is this statement true?

It seems to me that hills are still tough for recumbent bikes. Are efficient flats riders (maybe sprinters?) able to make up that much time over climbers in the flats?

You'll find an immense array of exceptionally artsy websites, videos, image collections, etc. Much as Gil Scott-Heron said about the revolution, the bullet journal won't be televised. It's a process that is oriented around your needs and workflows.

The key element to me is the index, and a set of notational conventions. Start with those and flavour to suit your needs. Spreads can be the next add. I'll also add my own set of reference sections (addresses, local hours of operation, informational, etc.) starting in reverse order from the back.

I don’t want to be rude but to say solar is ‘inefficient’ without qualification is essentially baseless ignorance or lying.

PV/wind turbine efficiency and Rankine cycle efficiency are basically entirely different concepts physically and economically. Highly efficient rankine plants might turn 35% of the potential energy of expensive nuclear/coal fuel (which costs money) into electricity. In the process they produce waste heat and waste (dealing with those things is typically kicked down the road). Solar turns 20% of something that is free (being pointed at the sun modulo land use) into electricity with zero waste and zero additional waste heat. How is that inefficient (even if it were half that)? You can and should say lots of things about scale or nighttime but none of those have to do with prime mover efficiency.

Now consider economic efficiency. The denominator of economic efficiency for solar/wind is financing charges and the numerator is multiplied by a lower capacity factor whereas for everything else the denominator is financing charges plus fuel costs. Fuel costs are expensive and boom/bust volatile creating huge economic uncertainties. These uncertainties increase financing charges further reducing economic efficiency. This is before you get to waste or waste heat.

I don’t think 100% solar is a realistic option but neither are baseless claims of inefficiency.
If your lazy seqs contain side effects that are evaluated as the seq is evaluated then definitely not RT (and this is a pretty big no-no in Clojure to begin with). Otherwise, it seems like lazy seqs are RT in the sense usually used by programming languages. Otherwise a language like Haskell wouldn't have anything considered RT.
Of course they do. There are lot so free apple tv and apple music deals. Included with the iphone.
With fusion, you are basically burning the reactor. The actual fuel cost is inconsequential.

Um, actually this[1] suggests that it originally wasn't about anything other than seeming like a good name and that any deeper explanation that has been given was made up. Of course, by the same token, "it seemed like a good name" could have also been made up. But it appears that the team eventually embraced it in the oxidization[2] sense.

Each of the few times I've taken a Myers-Briggs test, I've gotten a completely different score each time. I don't think these tests measure any immutable attributes of personality, they measure preferences which can change with time and social circumstance. And getting a new job is obviously a change of social circumstance..
a lot of people seem to feel superior by calling them horoscopes- similar to how some people will confidently tell you that the polygraph is completely useless and not a measurement of anything, just because it's not a magically perfect lie-detector device that should be used in courtrooms
Same, but slightly disagree about the UI, but can understand why it's not for everyone.

I finally upgraded my ageing 935 to a 955 after 3 or more years and I actually find the 955 to be a joyous experience day to day for everything I need to do and way more. The UI/UX actually feels somewhat well polished now.

Sure, some features and functions are buried, but the amount of functionality packed into it, which is quickly and easily accessible when you get the basic UI structure is unsurpassed IMO. Nothing ever feels more than a few button presses or swipes away, which is honestly a huge achievement given just how much they are packing in now.

The new daily reports and training/workout suggestions are almost always bang on in terms of matching I how feel along with their suggestions for easy days / hard days. The battery life and abundance of buttons just leaves Apple for dust IMO. Add in features like PacePro, easy workout building, training programs, race day planning, integration with everything imaginable - Di2 gears, power meters, etc. Apple will probably never handle a triathlon event - jumping seamlessly from Garmin watch -> Garmin cycle computer -> Garmin watch. I don't think Garmin should feel threatened by Apple here.

Nothing about Apple Watch appeals to me for my use case - running, cycling, swimming, hiking, training status, sleep tracking/recommendations, notifications, music/spotify integration. I've had a couple of Apple Watches over the years and they both got handed on to family members within a month or two. I've wanted to like it, but they are a long way off realistically serving my use-case and this new Ultra version doesn't look to come close either.

I've certainly had issues with Garmin - that atrocious week long service outage a year or two back and also some software updates that made me wonder if any internal QA had been done at all, but overall, Garmin have given me rock solid devices that are best in class IMO. My 935 still looked almost brand new after 3 years of hard usage and still gave me nearly week long battery life (with 5-7hrs running a week).
There’s an art dealer where I live who is extremely shady. He steals the work of other artists, copies and mimics their styles, and then mass produces their work as his own so that he doesn’t have to pay them.

He also has an extensive practice that involves cybersquatting on domains and redirecting searches from these artists to his own work. He also trolls for photography online and steals the images from these artists and sells it under their name and pockets the money without paying them.

Eventually, a group of artists found out and ostracized him from the local community. He finally shut down his gallery last week, but I’ve been told this went on for 15 years. Artists need better protection under the law (and new laws to protect them if needed), and more enforcement mechanisms to uphold the law.
Geez, streetlights ARE surveillance technologies. They get put in so people can see each other and surveille them.

And what do they suggest police are going to do? Track the movement of political dissidents? Ain't no one got time for that kind of spy shit. People need to stop imagining they live in a dystopian movie.

The one realistic use/abuse I can see now is tracking homeless people and keeping them from stopping anywhere overnight. Still way too much effort for most police, but maybe in some gated-community-wannabe location.
Well, back in the 70s and into the 80s I remember the narrative was that we were heading for an ice age. There were children's cartoons, movies, news stories.

And then the global warming thing came along, and for a while you could discuss it, but once politicians realized they could use that to get all the power they wanted, there's no rational discussion of it at all. There's the orthodox view, and everyone else is a 'denier'.

That's the main impact. It's injected partisan politics into many aspects of life, and made the most boring part of the newscast (the weather) anxiety inducing for many.

> "I disable the multiconnect on my XM4s as well."

I have the XM4s also. I've also had problems with switching devices at times, notably with certain Mac apps that would stay connected (sending silent audio?) and prevent them from switching to the other device. But this seems to have been resolved with recent macOS updates (or maybe app updates?), and I haven't had the issue for a while.

In any case, any occasional pain caused by multiple device connections is vastly less than the pain of having to manually switch devices... every. single. time. I had the XM3s before, which had no multiple device support, and it was horrible!

> To me, MBTI or Big 5 (not the actual tests, but their framing of aspects of personality) are mental tool kits for trying to make better predictions from limited data (i.e., the interview process). As a manager, I've found them incredibly helpful for avoiding problems (i.e., assigning the wrong task to a person).

I think of MBTI as a framework for categorizing human tendencies. But the real power of MBTI is in cognitive functions as vocabulary to classify how people will react in situations.

Given a person without major forcing functions changing their behavior, what tendencies do they have?

Cognitive functions defines a set of tendencies that you can have a discussion around, assuming you agree on what each cognitive function really means.

For instance, someone with Ti as a primary function subconsciously looks for correctness that can be validated. Whereas someone with Fi as a primary function subconsciously evaluates whether someone is expressing their true self or not. This can be used as a manager tool to do behavioral risk management.

But everyone has forcing functions that change their behavior, and people with enough practice can get good at anything. As an evaluation tool MBTI probably accounts for at most 10-25% of the outcome. And the older you get, the more well rounded your cognitive stack becomes, making it even less of a predictor of your behavior.

Additionally, cognitive functions are abstract enough to not correlate highly to specific tasks, although one can certainly argue a correlation (I've heard arguments where programming suits Ti and Ni the best).
