Absolutely - one of the most common forms of body doubling that a lot of people have experienced has been studying with others. An emerging trend has also been, as others in the thread have linked, "study with me" videos.
> it's that organized crime was really a kind of alternative government, serving many of the functions that governments serve, but one whose 'citizens' were mostly criminals.

Criminals, or in the case presented in the opening of the movie, otherwise law-abiding people who seek vigilante justice after the government fails to deliver justice through official avenues. This theme is repeated later in the movie when Michael, until then a law-abiding citizen, commits a vigilante act of murder against a corrupt police captain to avenge his father.
Another reason that I can think of is that many people are watching content at a increased playback rate. I personally limit that to education content because for things like comedy it can mess with pacing. But I have friends that have used it while watching really long shows. It doesn't have to be much faster but if you think about a 10 hour series, that is approximately an hour saved. I recognize that this seems odd, but I have tried it on some shows and it honestly makes them more enjoyable. It's not universal to every show or to every person.
Sounds useful, though I'd advice using a different alias - just to avoid surprises when for some reason your function wasn't loaded properly.
Access to power / energy is what wealth is all about today, and has been for over 100 years.

However rapidly a "green energy transition" could possibly happen, if it means reducing access to power / energy, then it means a drop in standards of living. In some parts of the world that means more than merely tightening the belt -- it can mean real hunger, while in many others it might mean a return to poverty, though perhaps not hunger. Moreover, people will probably not accept a permanent (or permanent-seeming) reduction in standards of living.
I’ve run with

alias rm=‘rm -iv’

for years without adding -f.

Much like I don’t prepend ‘sudo’ until it requires me, at which point I stop and think.

Your ‘find -delete’ trick does the same: it creates time to think between expressing yourself and evaluating the outcome. This is great.
Yeah I mean I think it is and should be within their rights. /r/TheDonald was not merely expressing a political viewpoint. It was doing a lot of other stuff. But the proponents of this law would view banning it was a violation.
Sure, but looking at the fee schedule...

https://help.ftx.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043579273-Fees

Starting out, you're still looking at paying a ton of money in fees just to put on bets. I could do the calculations but I'm on mobile... essentially though, you would have to just do exceptionally well, for an exceptionally long time to make any sort of profit without some "unethical edge" which I just see as not being worthwhile.

I run a trading firm and even at the best crypto fee tiers, those fees will absolutely destroy your risk to reward because you start the position down significantly if your targets are less than 1%. If you're a "swing trader" the fees aren't all too bad I guess... but at the end of the day, for equities, most brokers you're looking at only around $30-50 to trade $2 million, regardless of your targets or entry. $2 million even at the highest tier you're paying multiples of that. It's the taker fees that are brutal.

Actually I bet you wouldn't be too far off. Random googling seems to suggest that the average cruise ship today is under $1 billion: https://gangwaze.com/blog/how-much-does-a-cruise-ship-cost

These are _much_ bigger ships than the Titanic, and with much more sophistication, complexity, luxury, etc.

If ships were still as simple today as the Titanic was I imagine 120m pounds would actually be pretty close.
Pretty common stuff that advanced kids learn in high school in the US[1]. I’d imagine MIT students can breeze through the questions in the Problem Set 0.

[1] Or so I saw in the bay area. Taking AoPS courses and even harder and broader content is pretty standard for kids in the bay area, for good or bad. It’s like there are two countries in the US. One has kids who take 10+ APs by grade 10. The other has schools that have median GPA 0.6. Sigh…
These definitely help.. but still painful.

Locally, there are several mines that have been trying to open for years (copper and nickel, mostly) but the environmental crowd has been extremely determined in using the courts and bureaucracy to block them from opening.

The net result is the green wave will be driven largely by relying on dirty minerals from other countries.
They can also force a 11 year old to have a baby after she has been raped and leave a pregnant lady bleeding because the doctor is afraid to terminate the pregnancy. That doesn’t mean it’s right…
> "think if you provide a service that basically creates a free public sphere, " You don't provide any justification for this

My justification is two fold. Number one, I think there's a large amount of people who believe that these new media should be covered by free speech. I think you can disagree, but just the fact that a lot of people think so makes it legitimate in my opinion. The question is, is it reasonable for others who don't think so, and what's the right balance. It's one thing to say people can exercise there right to free speech on these new media platforms, and another to allow them to be abused by various bad actors, or for undemocratic political gain.

My second justification is that these platforms effectively steal public channels of their attention, through subsidization.

In my opinion, if you subvert public spheres by making spheres of discussion that are more enticing, but still free, but obviously you make money from secondary means from it. This in itself is against free speech.

People trying to exercise their free speech shouldn't have the added difficulty of having to compete with your platform to get people's attention and time of day.

My third justification is, we have to go back to what we even mean by the right to free speech.

> the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Now logically, this implies an assumption that you can assemble and petition somewhere that will reach others and the government.

It would be silly to say, ok, you're allowed to do this, but only in some isolated room that's sound proof by yourself.

What that means is to me, it implies there has to be a way to do it that can reach others and the government, and that's also an implied right.

If people are now online and on some social media platform, and that's realistically the only place to reach others and the government, I think it makes it that that place now becomes the place where this right applies.

Finally, my last justification is on the public/private debate.

Public means:

> done, perceived, or existing in open view
> ordinary people in general; the community

I think even if you're a private space, but you open yourself to the public in that sense, it does make you a public sphere, and so again the right of the ordinary people you've invited now applies.

In the end though, I don't think all of this matters much, like I said, I think just the fact many people are asking for this can be good enough to consider a reasonable way of making it happen. And I think what I described is sensible, will protect the platforms from abuse, the people from having the platform subverted by bad actors or people looking to manipulate or control a narrative for their own interests, but also give an avenue for people to petition for changes in a fair manner.

That's not why people write on social media. There are very many "telephone wires" that have nobody listening on the other side. What every contributor is after is the audience. But there is no legal right to an audience.
Compared to a decade ago a bunch of stuff in no particular order:

1) malloc/new & free/delete are now solidly legacy territory of the "unless it's a placement `new`, you're likely doing it wrong". make_unique && make_shared all day long.

2) templates that are understandable by mortals thanks to `if constexpr` instead of SFINAE nightmares.

3) static_asserts

4) lambdas (which is going to get way more useful with https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/move_on... )

5) std::format

6) attributes like [[nodiscard]] being standard

7) std::move making passing std:vector & similar containers around not being terrifying (this is what also really helps #1 be possible)

I'm sure I missed some stuff, but I reach for all of those regularly.
The cargo-cult religion is unfortunately back by science and years of study and agreement amongst scientists - human activity is causing climate change and global warming. You sound like you haven't accepted this fact based reality that we live in and are a part of.

Climate change is our fault, and we have to stop it, there is no other alternative that also includes life continuing on earth as we know it. This change is already happening, it's not hypothetical. Global systems are already being affected, extreme weather and drought more common. Global temperature change has to be kept as low as possible, or we risk crop failure, famine and mass immigration at a scale that has never been seen.

I understand there are huge logistical issues with shifting off fossil fuels, but we as humans have to. We can get to the moon, we can stop burning old dinosaurs & plants to make stuff work. Even without climate change, these resources are finite. Are you just going to accept waiting for all the oil to run out before making plastic tubes from something else? The clue is in the name fossil, they take millions of years to produce and are non-renewable.

You can think of me as a green psychopath all you like, but it doesn't change the cold hard facts. I hope my reply isn't high-intensity BS.

Virtually all opinion polls I have seen in the past few years indicate that not only an overwhelming majority of the general population of US Americans support a variant of Univeral Healthcare/Public Option/Single Payer but so do a majority of Republican voters, albeit by a slimmer margin.

The limiting political factor is no longer the demand side of the scale—the voters and their fear of "socialism"—but rather on the supply side—the electable candidates and their unwillingness to do anything about it.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-california-ke... we are already getting gigawatts from batteries.

And what do you make of the argument that nuclear takes too long to ramp up construction? I mean Biden’s infra legislation does include support for nuclear and California just decided to keep open its last plant, but the solar/batteries combo is so cheap, easy, safe and decentralized (which a lot of the California libertarians like) that nuclear can’t compete really.

How do you write GUI apps in C# with Win/Linux support? Usually people don't go C# if they're doing GUI on other things than Windows. CLI/Server software is a first class citizen on Linux these days though.
Aliasing "cp" to "cp -i" also prevents you from overwriting files without confirmation. It's more of a preference thing than a recommendation, but overwriting on copy is something that bit me in the past when working a bit mindlessly. I guess the proper recommendation would be "don't operate the commandline mindlessly"?

"The thing that blew my mind, and continues to, is that the top speed you can reach is dependant upon the length of the boat and not the weight"

Is there a simple explanation for this to share?
You're misunderstanding things. There's no law that companies have to know where their employees are working from. It's simply a consequence of the fact that governments have sovereign power to regulate things within their borders, including employment. Companies that pay to have work performed within state X generally [1] have to follow those regulations. If an employee moves to another jurisdiction and the employment agreement is not compatible with applicable local laws, then there are two main options: The relationship can be terminated or it can be brought into compliance.

If a company has employees in all 50 states, then yeah they need to have compatible employment practices with all of them (plus the respective cities those employees work from, for extra fun). In practice this doesn't come up much because most employment regulations are minor and most governments have similar rules.

[1] there are a million qualifications to this, speak to a lawyer if you want details about your particular case

Back in 2018 I moved from NYC, where my commute was 45m-1hr, to Florida, where I lived across the street from a co-working space. "Finally", I thought to myself. I can finally have all this extra free time that was spent commuting.

And while it certainly is beneficial to not have a long commute, I didn't realize that I had inadvertently created a daily ritual for myself. During my train rides, I'd zone out and listen to podcasts while watching the surrounding scenery. It allowed me to decompress, focus on something else, and transition out of my work brain.

I love working remote, but I have to admit that I miss that part of my day. I've tried to do things like biking or a treadmill with earphones in, but it's not the same.
You can also do that by prefacing an aliased command with "command".

It's funny to me that people have unlearned the relationship between pressure and weather. I grew up in a house with a faux-antique barometer, and always took that for granted. Like reading an analog clock, this isn't knowledge that "kids these days" pick up. Which is still weird, because TV weather announcers always talk about the pressure when describing their weather forecasts. But of course, people want to know if their BBQ is going to be sunny, they don't want a lesson in physics.

It’s a streaming (well, actor, but I see it most often used in the streaming context) framework that is pretty well known in the Scala world. It’s pretty robust, and like the comment says, it’s used as the underlying engine for a good amount of high performance Scala and Java frameworks.

Play, which is the pretty much de facto Scala web framework, uses it pretty religiously.
Maybe, but I am skeptical. Do you know when lithium ion batteries were invented? Okay, truthfully, neither do I, because accounts vary, depending on what you mean by "invented" and "lithium ion battery," but it was definitely in the 1970s. The first prototypes were created in the mid 80s, and commercial introduction wasn't until 1991. This stuff is all up on Wikipedia, so you can just look it up if you doubt it.

Even if the research is being done, we've got decades before something commercially viable comes out. The need exists now. Anything that isn't essentially ready to go by 2030 probably isn't going to do squat to help us.

So why does the right, which claims to stand up for virtue, morality, and the American way of life, love this immoral, anti-American film so much?

It's news to me that the right loves this movie more than the left. That's not my experience among friends. I like it because it illustrates the idea that one should honor thy father no matter how imperfect. Beyond that, who doesn't enjoy palace intrigued. That said, I recently decided against watching The Sopranos again. I'd rather not spend time with disgusting people who hurt the innocent for profit
Increased instrumentation/data could also lead to bias in the data through increased volume. I’m sure there’s a name for this effect.
"So why does the right, which claims to stand up for virtue, morality, and the American way of life, love this immoral, anti-American film so much?"

I never heard the theory that The Godfather had a left/right divide. Nor have I heard the theory that people like to watch movies with characters who reflect only their aspirational values.

A lot of interesting context and perspective in this piece, but the point is meandering and the reasoning is unconvincing.

After over 2 decades of Linux use, the other day I created a folder called `~` in my code dir accidentally and then just ran `rm -rf ~` like a moron instead of `rm rf ./~` like a smart man. Fortunately for me, it didn't get far and I ^C before it got anywhere.
They can, but that takes energy. You have to have sufficient green energy to produce it and how do you get to the place where you have sufficient energy? Currently, that means you burn massive amounts of dirty energy to make the transition over, what, decades?

Your comment is well intended but it is the same sort of 'one day it will be perfect' thinking that glosses over the messy transition that actually needs to take place first.

Unfortunately this goes beyond A.I. stuff, it has become the state of software development and that's why people started shipping very large packages of everything so that you can have the exactly same environment so you can increase your chances that the code will run as expected.

For A.I. stuff I actually don't judge, these scripts are written by people who specialise in other things than software engineering and they simply put together some code to run their algorithms and as a result they are poorly engineered in many aspects.
Sorry, no. These exact same complaints have been swirling around for decades before Uber came on the scene: https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/2017/12/12/taxi-drivers-emplo...

The only change is that Uber grew the market and popularized hiring cars, and the state of California decided to start attacking its own tech industry.

There's a lot of hypocrisy here. If the state truly had worker's interests at heart it would be looking at the farming industry, not ridesharing.

Economic circumstances limit choices, too (though not as explicitly or as definitively as Jigsaw). Most viewers did not see people choosing to participate in the squid game as a victory for economic free choice, but instead as a commentary on how dire someone’s circumstances had become that they would choose to play and later even reaffirm that choice.

Isn't this just asking for "evaluate the situation honestly and adapt"? Kids are moved up and down in the education system, or at least used to be, based on perceived success chances. They can also leave school early for uni, catching up as it were.
