>Lack of people to work should be the norm. Getting enough humans to work should be the bottleneck of the system to force treating them well and optimize everything around them.

The reason there's a surplus is egalitarianism. Most of the developed world realized we didn't economically tap much of society because of whatever *ism. Fixing that produced a huge benefit. But it also ended up with 2 key problems. Huge surplus of low-skilled labour AND a problematic population pyramid.

>The globalization and demographic trends that has undercut the value of labor in the west for decades are now reversing. Expect inflation, financial system struggles (collapse?), higher taxes but also wage increases and the working class getting larger chunk of the pie.

The problem after that im sure they'll call the 'great unretirement' where people who retired ran out of money but lots of those people wont want to work. Nobody will hire them. They will turn to crime.
Sure, but this was in specific reference to “My ISP”. I can understand no choice in a hotel/cafe/etc. But there’s now lots of choice for home internet. Wired, cellular, even Starlink.
That's only for small angles though (stems from Taylor's expansion). With other units, you have a conversion factor, but it remains true enough at small angles.
Not only that. Many banks and government services nowadays require a phone (and/or phone number) as well. Their excuse? MFA. So idiotic. I can understand that they want to improve auth for the vast majority of their customers, but don't make it mandatory FFS!
A lot of Remainers, myself included, would have been happy enough with a Norway- or Switzerland-style model.

And the EU did offer the UK various flavours of "a non-EU country with common market access and freedom of movement etc.", according to the news in the UK at the time.

Those were all turned down by the UK government. What you're describing was called by many a "soft Brexit".

As you may recall, there were many voices demanding a "hard Brexit" instead. In the end, the hard-Brexiters won by political strategy. I don't think they were even in the majority.

So I don't think it can be said correctly that "they never intended to leave the common market". The UK wanted some trade benefits of the common market, but they also wanted something they could sell politically as a "hard Brexit". That meant a lot of things had to be seen to be changed, and also it required "freedom of movement will end" - that is, the UK in the end insisted that it be nothing like the Norway or Switzerland models.

Yes, we're in an interesting time where the advantages you have in person are disadvantages on paper, in regards to hiring priorities, diversity drives, HR policy, etc.
That's where ripgrep's -r/--replace flag comes in handy:

On the other hand, defining the benefits based on the last few years, leads to employees taking every overtime opportunity for the last few years to inflate their retirement benefits. Overtime absolutely should be excluded for the calculus so people can’t game the system.

Not really inflation happens where the cash flows. And very little of that cash flowed into normal markets.

On the other hand you can point you can look at the stock market still increasing/staying level in COVID, to figure out where inflation hit first. (Markets up in a lockdown, sounds impossible).

Right now inflation is hitting low end markets through that cash finally hitting normal markets with the wealthy trying to hedge with land/properties, and wage increases.
When you store a value that will be reused, like in an array of points, if every time you walk the array multiplying by a constant, you should seek to store values in such a way that it does not need that treatment. If you are taking sin and cos each time through (presumably, added to some angle), it should be pre-multiplied for the fastest implementation of sin and cos available.
So, the phone will basically continue working as-is, and will still be secure. The newer versions of iOS are a mixed bag anyway. The biggest problem in practice will be the apps eventually dropping support for the old iOS version. It won't happen overnight though.

IMAP IDLE exists since 1997 (RFC2177) and works decent enough for single mailboxes.
It is limited to only a single mailbox however, which is not quite ideal if one does server-side filtering (as one then needs N connections for N folders).
But for that there is IMAP NOTIFY (RFC5465) since 2009, which covers all remaining use cases..

All fuel tank explosions. Modern aircraft have equipment specifically to mitigate fuel vapor in the tanks because of these sorts of incidents.

TWA 800 also caused improved maintenance requirements of wiring that might arc/spark, as inspections of other aircraft found widespread metal shavings, non-standard wiring, and eroded insulation in nearly every aircraft they took a look at.
This Olympiad would not decide any wars. It's just a way to show the world just how powerful your military is.
All vehicles have things that they are better or worse at, but you overstate the case against bicycles. For example, with passengers, you can add a child seat or trailer to an ordinary bike, or you can use a longer bike designed for bringing others.

Cars also have situations they're a poor fit for: places without good parking, if you have to take part of your journey by another mode (bus, train, etc...) and need your vehicle on the other end, if you can't afford them (including fuel, insurance, etc), if there aren't good roads, if you're too young, etc.
I've used Github Actions at work for the past year and I'm a fan overall. The clearest sign of this is my feedback for improvement is almost entirely about missing features instead of broken ones. For examples, it'd be nice:

1. for Github to natively allow CI management for several repos in a centralized way, so repo setup can just be "select this CI config" instead of "copy this YAML file and change the project name in some places"

2. to mandate certain CI steps at the organization level (such as running `black`) so it isn't opt-in
Gitlab CI is really powerful.
It's just the progression of things. Things first shifted online. Some are now going with apps because apps are a better fit.

Eg, if you're calling a taxi, what are you going to call one from, if not a phone? A phone is the best tool for the job because if they come and can't find you, then can call you back.
Right, radians are the "natural" units of angle, others generally just make a circle into some integral number of units for convenience, but you always have to go back to radians to actually do calculation.

In the next installment, maybe he'll propose that turns can be limiting because diving up a circle requires the use of fractions, and suggest instead of 1 turn per circle, we make a number that's easily divisible into many integer factors. Maybe 216, or I don't know, 360?

McMaster is the best. I use them for everything, mostly because of the models and extra info noted in the article.
The UI for seeing logs is driving me insaaaane.
It's extremely slow and sluggish. Sometimes you have to refresh the page to see the actual latest line of the log.
Ha, that's great, I am definitely trying it. Thank you.
Yes it works well. I have no need to ever change it until the hardware fails in say 20 years.
The easiest way to make someone think you care about something is to actually care about it.
Yeah the title is clickbait. McMaster is regularly praised in engineering forums, which is great. Clearly they nailed the UX for their users. There are some good lessons to learn from it, but it's not some sort of golden standard for e-commerce as a whole.

The main praise is usually search/filter, but that really comes down to this quote from the article:

> McMaster is able to provide such intuitive searching and filtering because everything that they sell is highly legible – it's all defined by quantitative specs.

Most products don't lend themselves so well to filtering.
I don’t know anything about Meloni or her platform and apparently neither does anyone else in this thread. Ppl are relentlessly projecting US politics on everything
No, but the thing is that for the majority of people nowadays this is normal and unsurprising. If you don't have a phone, a lot of things become unavailable and 99% of people (maybe even more!) don't consider that strange.

You can sometimes work around parts of it. For example there are still taxi dispatchers you can call (but with what? Maybe if you have at least a dumb phone ...) but drivers might be more hesitant to accept those jobs (less precise pickup locations, more ambiguity about destinations etc.). You can rent some of the public bikes using a public transport card, but none of the scooters - and those are much more available.

In highly modernised places there is simply a baseline assumption about the tech that everyone has available to them ...
Would the solution no be to simply allow people to pay for parking twice? There's already nothing stopping you from getting two parking slips at a machine. Just start another parking session for each user and track them independently.

PS- Just spotted ftrotter's question for the first time. I also worked in healthcare IT and prototyped a PII protecting schema. Alas, my POC also flew like a lead zepplin. No password recovery. This strategy requires GUIDs, aka RealID in the USA.

"I am building an application with health information inside. This application will be consumer-facing with is new for me. I would like a method to put privacy concerns completely at ease. As I review methods for securing sensitive data in publicly accessible databases I have frequently come across the notion of database translucency. ..."

I could have written that. Oh well. Someone in much the same situation, having the same questions, and then reaching about the same answer is somewhat validating.

10+ years later, I'm sure there's now dozens of us advocating Translucent Databases techniques.
You can train it to work with masks. Judging by the prompts it pays increased attention to the eyes

That's just usual legacy driven design, like timespec. It's actually a very good move that module separator is '.' instead of something ugly like '::' or even worse ':::'. Not even new languages can easily let go of angle braces and double colons.

We manage OK with cosh for the hyperbolic cosine even though "cosh" is a word. For that matter, "sin" and "cos" are both words, though of course "sin" and "sin" are pronounced differently.

> Actually renewables are significantly easier to acquire and scale and deploy in many cases -- millions of people have solar panels on their houses for example. Private, as well as municipal or county level installations are common. As are much larger ones.

You missed my point. You need a lot less materials for the same amount of power in a coal plant and digging for coal is easier to scale up.
Thanks Classy, I could do that, it would be slightly less convenient when switching devices as you'd have to add the rom again but could be an option if there is ever any issues. Another thing I've thought about is client side encrypting any roms before uploading them. That would me I don't know if people are playing homebrew titles or something else.

Too many people, even here, praise MFA when they reveal how weak their passwords are.

I've never had an auto generated password get broken into. Password databases should've been the solution everyone pushed, not 2FA.

Also, it's really an attempt for these services to cut down on fakes and bots. Its easy to make new emails, but hard to get new numbers that aren't already black/brown listed.
Whats wrong with long variable names?
Yes, like Cairo. In fact I almost applied to a job working with Cairo recently, but I was told someone else had just started it.

It's possible to build more standard CPUs as well which use ordinary arithmetic, logic and memory, at some cost to efficiency. But the cost is almost entirely borne by the prover.
Age is great and all but it has a huge footgun. It encourages the user to encrypt material with a public key in a way that is entirely unauthenticated. So an attacker with access to that public key can simply overwrite the file with whatever they want. If ensuring that you end up with the same stuff as you encrypted is important than that can be a big problem. Fixing this involves the use of a separate signing utility and thus introduces an entirely different set of keys for the user to manually manage.

By doing the key management for the user, GPG actually ends up being a lot more usable...
The most annoying thing for me is that a workflow_dispatch only workflow can't be launch manually until it's push into default branch as they are not listed. I can understand the Web-UI won't list them but even GitHub cli can't launch them. Once they appear in the default branch, only then you are free to launch them on any branch.
Currently working 99+% remote. In a next job, I'd like to have the flexibility to work from home whenever I want to but also have the option to meet colleagues IRL when we feel we need to, which should not be too often.
I'd also be fine with eg. 2-3 days in office, 2 WFH. But only as long as the commute isn't too long, like 30-45 minutes max.
If I have to be part of a traffic jam each day, no thnx. I'll start later and/or leave earlier or something.
Is there a Rust library that also takes "turns" (or cycles or something similar) that I can use? I have been wondering (very low-key-ish) about this problem for some years and now that I know this I want to use turns in my code.

Google CEO says employees shouldn’t ‘equate fun with money’
upthread, the year started march 1st which was also the first day of spring, thus making it march, april, may june, quintilis, sextilis, september, october, november, december.

the 12 or 15 day shift at one or more points made the spring equinox "move" from march 1st to "around march 21st", and the "new year" was moved to January 1st. Thus completely misaligning the months and the seasons, and making september the 9th month. To compensate, they renamed the 5th and sixth months to honor a couple of emperors.

Don't cite me.
> The simplicity of the Taylor series of sine and cosine is irrelevant, there are no important applications for those series.

The addition theorems for trigonometric functions can easily be shown by the multiplication theorem for Taylor series (and adding two Taylor series). This proof would be more convoluted if the Taylor series were not so easy.

Also, because of the simplicity of their Taylor series, one immediately sees that sin and cos are solutions of the ODE y'' = -y.

Another application of the Taylor series is that by their mere existence, sin and cos (as real functions) have a holomorphic extension.

I don't find it horrifying at all, I remember the times when I had to sit in phone calls to organize a plethora of small things I shouldn't have wasted time on the phone for. To me the modern age where you open an app and do things there has been infinitely better. Ordering pizza, calling a taxi, paying for delivered groceries, paying bills etc. -- all through phone.

The fact that there are entities out there that want to steal every drop of your attention when you are on your phone does not nullify the usefulness of modern technology. Nor does it guarantee them success.

I'd say that many people happily use technology to improve their lives and dodge all the other crap. For that group the modern age is absolutely great.
Simple Logging in Common Lisp
I've been using one since 2016. The recent two years have been a bit tough because of the degraded battery. Swapped a new battery earlier this year, it was good for a while and now it's slow again and barely last a whole day. The last straw was the music player/spotify stuttering while I'm using Safari.

I have made up my mind that I won't buy another iPhone due to their design choices in the past years (mainly, removing headphone jack, but also in general undermining reparability while preaching sustainability).

So for me the must-have features are 3.5mm jack and relatively small form factor. I ended up getting a Asus Zenfone 9 (actually saw the post from HN first). Have been using it for about a couple weeks and I don't have too many complaints switching to Android. Only gripe I have was that the screen is still way too big. A bigger screen and very thin bezels are of course visually nice, but it's impossible to reach the upper and lower left corner when I use it with my right hand. Welp, I guess that's the compromise that I have to make in exchange for the features more important to me.

Hello everyone! I was poking around GoLang's HTTP/networking capabilities to see what things I could do. Turns out it is pretty easy to insert your own networking stack into HTTP clients and servers.
Those perfect radians use 2*pi, aka tau, though, a different math notation issue, where mathematicians have chosen the wrong option (imho) and a case for disrupting that part of math notation, to make radians easier to teach: 1/4th of a circle could be tau/4 radians, 1/8th could be tau/8, etc..., instead of confusing halved factors with radians expressed as amount of pi.

Regarding long variable names: I'd rather have long variable names, than a mathematician using some greek symbol in formulas without telling what the meaning of it is (and it could be different depending on their background). But I have no issues with the single letter variables if they're specified properly.
