I think design as an independent study is a mistake. it should always be coupled with underlying system engineering.

When they are decoupled you end up with architects making pretty buildings that are hard to build and operate. software that looks nice framed on a wall but trips up the casual user and is downright painful for the Professional user. and stylish consumer goods where the style interferes with the function.
If nothing else, you can accurately compare to the first five hours of other games you've played. That's probably what's happening here.
>it was just poorly designed

This is actually true, but not an issue anymore. Control was near the space bar in the Symbolics keyboard, now it's in a much more comfortable position where it can and should be pressed with the left hand's palm, which is important even if you don't use Emacs. Vi uses control too.
I still fail to understand why instead of try building networked apps, like Plan 9 have started showing in the past, we keep going adding web-apps for anything reducing powerful desktops to mere dumb terminal and impose a central point of failure even at home.

Oh, sure, it's easier but going that route means end up in the mess we all know of modern "devops and alike" no one can really know nor manage.
Having worked at one, the other call center workers are an important outlet of venting and source of camaraderie, because at the end of the day they too have been screamed at by some unpleasant person over the phone refusing to give you information yet expecting you to help them.

I wonder what that looks like in a WFH scenario.
A person can want to earn their own living while also wanting a viable and optimal partnership with a qualified person.

If you see people as at least partially rational actors, "Have enough income on your own that you're not trapped in a situation with anyone," and, "Have a partner that is successful," aren't two opposed concepts.

It's not a logical inconsistency, it's actually rational. I think you may be falsely equating "consistency" and "fairness," or "equability," but they're distinct concepts: A person can want to be successful and still find a successful partner more attractive. This isn't inconsistent.
Bundling is fine. Bundling by a company that is a monopoly in the space is (or rather, used to be) a violation of antitrust law. But see Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox, especially sections IIA and IIIB: https://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/amazons-antitrust-parado...

Idk, I think it's pretty common. Certainly not for healthy relationships; but I'd wager there are a really really high number of not healthy relationships at any given moment, even if they don't usually last that long. There are toxic people all over the place, and not everyone is good at recognizing toxicity.
After all that he said, this is what you decided to comment on? I guess he was right on the money.
> Life is going to suck anyway, might as well drag others along for the ride

How in the world did you get that from anything I said?

I can't pick out any part of my comment that could be construed to mean that.

Marginal life is (as of now) more or less strictly positive EV, as is the expected internalized and externalized outcome of most of the people on this site having kids.

> Unpartnered older childfree women are one of the happiest cohorts

I really really doubt this is the case. Typically for sociology research, there are tons of papers claiming strong effect sizes of child-rearing on life satisfaction in both directions. However, older women are by far the subpopulation most dependent on psychoactive drugs such as antidepressants. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db377.htm I unfortunately can't find any studies that break down antidepressant use rates by parental status at all, or a fortiori by age/marriage/parental status individually.
Cute.

Question to the author: Will this be open sourced?
There's also other factors - almost all other countries are a lot more culturally, racially, and religiously homogeneous than the US. Obviously a lot of that is upstream from the resultant culture, but it still makes comparison hard. It's easy to point to things the US is "doing wrong" that it's famous for, but it's important to remember that very few cultural dividing lines are actually a majority in the US, and almost everyone is some melange of different traditions and identities compared to most other countries.
> People coped. Isolation was a problem then too.

120 years ago family and neighbors would just show up. Communities weren’t compromised of strangers who only slept there. Maybe we’ll adapt by getting to know our neighbors and being less exclusionary about our homes as time goes on.
They’ve been demonstrated several times. Why do you believe they don’t exist?

> This wasn't obvious to the user because Explorer hides the 'detail' of the file path and simply shows the username

I really really dislike Windows when it hides paths, for example, "My Pictures". Where the heck is that?

This lunacy infects Windows applications, like Quicken and Thunderbird, which spew themselves and their data into gawd knows where hidden directories. Why can't they simply do the obvious? Create a \Quicken directory in the root, and have a \Quicken\program and \Quicken\userdata ? But noooo.
There are multiple types of FGM, one of them involves removing the clitoris and the other is extremely similar to circumcision.
I know next to nothing about AD, but my company appears to match against this merely because we have an Office 365 account (from which we do nothing except download Word and Excel every now and then) so it doesn't necessarily mean you're using whatever it is much.
Interesting argument.

It really depends-- are the people who are buying H1Bs for "real talent needs" able to consume most/all of the available slots?

I'd expect that's really on the order of a couple thousand people a year. So they'll pay (comparatively) silly money and get their needs met.

But it looks like the quota is in the high five figures, so there are plenty left for body shops looking for cheaper junior SDEs. And you know that someone will say "now that we turned it into a revenue stream, why not 200,000?"
The critical mass of a bare sphere of plutonium-239 (the isotope usually used to make bombs) is about 10 kg. Some percent can be shaved off this with a neutron reflector around the core and other design tricks. The American W54 warhead of the 1950s was 23 kg and the core was probably around one-third of the entire mass of the bomb. That is likely the practical limit for traditional designs.

As for what might be feasible within the laws of physics, rather than current engineering, I'm not sure there's a clear answer. Increasing the density of the fissile matter reduces its critical mass, which is why they implode the core with conventional explosives in most designs. There are other ways of compressing matter to very high densities. For example, subjecting it to hot enough plasma, like in a magnetic confinement fusion reactor, might work. But stuff like that is science fiction and will be for a long time.
> but if the admins of a domain email you from the same domain as the flagged site

Email domains aren't always match with domains running the web-site (don't forget only ten years ago www. was still expected and people redirected you there from non-www. name).

But having access to DNS zone you can prove 'ownership' (at least technical) of the domain (even if it doesn't have the associated MX records for e-mail), precisely why LE is doing it.

Oh my...

More like "to prove you are the one responsible for tailspintoys.com - create a TXT record under that domain with 'dylan604 is admin here'".

> I have no idea what they do

TXT records are just plain text strings (in ASCII), nothing more, nothing less.

> who can read them, when, where, why

Everyone, anytime, anywhere, because it is you who placed it there in a system of Public DNS servers

right, but once you have a failed relationship, either choice (stay together or separate) will have a negative impact. so really, the best way to salvage the kids future is to actually repair the relationship.
Something feels a little off in this particular case. I feel like there is an implied increase in flexibility with WFH for many of us here, but I doubt call center employees get that benefit at all.
maybe they could break them into teams and give them chat rooms to vent and discuss call topics?
No argument with this premise.

We know what computers will require to become "truly intelligent", but so far there is no concrete known path to instill them with the capacity to really reason about things the way a human would.
Not sure why you’re downvoted so hard, but I absolutely agree that we are in a transitional state and so inconsistencies can exist (but not persist). Eventually, modern feminism will need to figure out how to empower women and convert (or create) more to sustain the movement. Otherwise, the default appears to be some form of religious fundamentalism.

The society I can think of that has made the most progress is Israel, as it is modern but also has a TFR of 3 and generally is an outlier on plots of TFR and GDP per capita
Not for everyone. These conversations need to distinguish between different living arrangements. My fully remote workplace is awesome! When I need a break I play with my 3-year-old son. I eat lunch with my wife. I have no commute, so I can be with my family right at 5 every day and have a good few hours before bedtime.

For someone who lives alone, I can see remote being lonely. For someone without a place set aside for work, I can see it being hard to focus. But for me and my family, it's perfect. I won't be going back to an office at least until the kids are moved out.
A big part of the aesthetics is that the specific glyphs for parentheses are curved in a way that suggests enclosure.

Suppose we replace ( with ^ and ) with $. The visual aesthetics is ruined. Or suppose we swap them: ) means ( and vice versa. Ditto.

Let's try it:

(let ((s nil))
(dotimes (i 16)
(setq s (rbt-insert (1+ i) s)))
(pp s))

^ is opening, $ is closing:

^let ^^s nil$$
^dotimes ^i 16$
^setq s ^rbt-insert ^1+ i$ s$$$
^pp s$$

) is opening, ( is closing:

)let ))s nil((
)dotimes )i 16(
)setq s )rbt-insert )1+ i( s(((
)pp s((

the reversal is slightly better than using random glyphs, because we can pretend that ) ( is suggesting closure in a different way. I don't think I could get used to this no matter how much time I put into it.

I can't escape the conclusion that the shape of the glyphs is important. The parens, being shaped the way they are, are making the code readable.
As I often say, gravity should always be down. Tools like IDEs, autocomplete, search, etc. should be completely deterministic. The same action should always end in the same result.

The reason for this is that the IDE is an extension of the arm. The brain literally treats it as an extension of its own capabilities though processes like transactive memory. It can only reliably integrate and achieve a state of deep flow if it can form a reliable model of your external brain. If actions don't always give the same result, there's no model to integrate.
The article promotes the opposite of exceptionalism.

> if it expects fair arbitration, the United States must ascribe to the rules it proclaims: For example, it cannot cry foul over Russian threats to freedom of navigation while remaining a nonsignatory to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. Instead of flaunting exceptionalism and decrying these institutions’ irreconcilable problems, it must advance their credibility and authority. When necessary to withdraw from a commitment, the United States must state its intentions early and provide justification to avoid the perception that it too shirks the rules. Rule-breaking must bear a cost.
But you chose to marry this woman, so at that time you thought it would turn out well, and that the legal contract and possibility of paying alimony was fair?
The Blade Runner that in theaters was terrible.

There were tons of crappy voice overs explaining what was going on. Theological content was removed - the “confession” scene where the robot murdered his creator, the stigmata-style wounds, the dove flying up to heaven. Even the famous “I’ve seen things …” speech was gone.

When home movies became a thing it was re-edited. It became a classic in the “cuts.”

I don’t know if there’s a lesson there. Maybe “don’t worry about re-editing stinkers.”
Can you elaborate please on that? Just starting on a new project where they have used playwright, but I never tried it
The education system itself is a huge part of the problem in my opinion. Women are naturally more obedient, while men are more skeptical of authority. The education system is designed to reward the most obedient - those who can sit still in class for lecture after lecture and complete homework assignments. Add to that the fact that most teachers are women, and it is not surprising to me at all that boys lag girls in school. Boys outperforming girls on standardized tests shows that they're not stupid, just working within a system not suited to them.

As a male I always hated school because I thought it was tyrannical, being forced to learn and do things I didn't care about. Luckily I still complied enough to get by, but had I been more principled I might've just withdrawn from it altogether. I think a lot more men would relate to my experience than women. A better education system I believe would better facilitate independent thinking, real world problems, and entrepreneurship.

> "The cost-benefit analysis showed an overall gain of $69,000 per female participant — a return on investment of at least 12% — compared to an overall loss of $21,000 for each male participant. In short, for men, the program was both costly and ineffective."

I wonder how they calculated this. If they are referring to post-graduation earnings, this does surprise me. I wonder how many years after graduation they are using to calculate these values.
The inconsistency is when someone complains that their career is considered secondary to their partner's, when they intentionally sought after a partner with a more developed career.
That's pretty bad if you put your life into notes or docs or whatever you're encrypting and then it just won't decrypt anymore. Do you think the file just got corrupted? Or is it actually the plug-in that's failing?
Have developed in Lisp on and off since the early 80's, mostly 3D graphics, and have recently returned to it with a vengeance.

Unless your company is in a high-risk security-sensitive business, they shouldn't. Most companies can accept the low risk of only requiring a second factor sometimes. Usually time-based, but also looking at location and device fingerprint. For example, if you normally log in from your laptop at work in one state and then it sees you trying to log in from a computer in another state (maybe you're visiting family?) it should definitely challenge you.

It's funny because I went to school for computer science, I grew up doing graphic design, and have a lot of experience having done a lot of work in both departments, but never a strict UI/UX role. When I tried to apply for UI/UX positions I either never heard back, or was told time and time again that I was lacking specific UI/UX experience.

Thought it was always funny, I guess hiring managers don't see the overlap the same way I do.

I would suggest looking into all the work by this writer. This guy wrote a huge book on the subject, along with a regular newsletter, which this article is part of.
While I’m sure you’re right, the comment I replied to specifically said “nearly every married man.”

Not to discount the lived experiences of men in this thread, but the discussion in here reeks of bitter manosphere ideology. Maybe people need to stop extrapolating their toxic relationships to an entire gender, or blaming them on biology.

> Which Track? Trains don't randomly switch tracks except in yards,

Track spacing is often much less than the dilution of position, which is less than ideal. This means that the area that the GPS thinks the train is, is bigger than the track width. Trains in the UK are often in cuttings, urban canyons etc, which means that the error margin could be up to 100m without much effort.

> instrumenting each switch to understand when a train switches tracks seems like an easy problem.

Only if you ignore that those sensors are now life critical, so is the connection, and the software that joins it all up.

> Tunnels? First there aren't "that" many and there aren't many long enough that a single long train shouldn't count it as occupied in the interest of safety.

again see DoP. But safety distance is related to speed. the slower the trains the shorter the distance, which means you are more likley to bump into GPS DoP issues. Also tunnels normally have cuttings, which again limit the number of satellites visible.

> It also shouldn't be a high effort to add a satellite or wireless repeater with a known location at at least each end of a tunnel.

again see safety critical equipment, you'll need fail safes

> The accelerometer can even early report rough tracks or switches.

Whats the percentage drift per second of those sensors? How often is the calibration frequency? how much vibration can it handle before it becomes inaccurate? whats the mean time to failure?

As a point, the "new" thameslink trains refused to open its doors at the thameslink station, because the station was in a tunnel, and the GPS wasn't available. This meant that the train said it didn't know where it was, so no doors open.

As a general rule of thumb, life critical stuff needs to be simple, well tested and well characterised. Failure of a system might cause a death, subtle failure is even more dangerous. This means expense.

On mobile, I use the excellent Epsilon Notes with Folder Sync Pro. The two work together seamlessly.

Just want to say that filerun is a really good option for self-host NAS with WebDAV support as well as a nice web app. Would definitely recommend.

Even though you use filerun to host files, you can still point Lychee/Plex etc to the photos and videos, which might be inside a subdirectory under the root directory of your filerun instance.
I didn't know that. I'm (probably irrationally) paranoid enough about the potential recovery of data that I store all my old laptops in an increasingly tottering tower in the garage (though technically they should have been encrypted as well.) If there is 0% chance of data recovery, I should probably look into selling them..
Sounds really complex.

Why not just count how many times the wheels turn?
> The difficulties with GPS seem over stated.

If anything, they are understated. GPS is so easy to spoof that it should not be used in a vital system.

Most train control systems have two completely separate systems. One keeps trains from running into each other, and the other makes the railroad run efficiently. The first usually depends on brutally simple and fail-safe wayside equipment. The second is based on direction from a control center somewhere. The second system is capable of keeping trains separated on its own, and it's so tempting to get rid of all that wayside safety equipment, with all that gear in trackside boxes needing maintenance visits.
Long ago it was always the advice to never use an odd numbered windows release.

You’re correct. I’m not a lawyer, but went through doing own startup:

It varies in incorporation requirements by state, but most only require 2 titles positions - a President and a Treasurer (the “Officers”)

Adding or removing a Director, as in “Board of Directors”, requires amendment to the Corporation’s bylaws, which should state how many seats there are.

Aside from those titles/roles, all the “C” prefixed titles are made up. Usually, one C level person is the President, another the treasurer. Co-founders are usually on the board of directors. Many times, a single person can be on the board, a co-founder, and ceo.

My own design. Although, some components screwed to three alu plates is hardly a 'design'. First I want to make it portable and probably add some color and finesse later. My initial ideas were about bending alu plates and fitting them nicely, maybe even a powdercoat on it, but I have to do it myself the dirty way first. Just to get it off the ground. There's a lot of nice cyberdeck builds on YouTube, for inspiration.

> A fully remote workplace is a lonely, sad place. I know.

I disagree vehemently - looks like you're simply trying to pass off your own experience as fact for the rest of people, which isn't appreciated. I know companies that have been fully remote since day 1 and every employee has thrived, both in terms of productivity but overall morale and happiness.
