I swore Uber off years ago. However I recently had 3 horrible experiences with Lyft in a row so now I’m back to Uber.

There’s so some type of scam where Lyft drivers accept a ride then don’t move. They try to get you to cancel and pay a $3 fee. If you wait long enough you can cancel for free. My last Lyft ride took multiple drivers and 30 minutes to arrive in downtown Seattle. So frustrating.

I’m sure other people have had similar and worse experiences with Uber. I’m sure I’ll rage quit them again before long.
They did keep iterating on the product until faster, cheaper components arrived. They had a product called GlobalView, which lasted all through the 80s and early 90s. Of course I know some people who stuck with it.

What they couldn't wrap their heads around was: no one cared anymore. The world had moved on.
> ...although I just tested it, and the increment and 0-padding only work in non-interactive mode ='(

Works for me...

$ echo $0 # determine current shell (alternative: "ps -p $$")
bash
$ echo {01..100..20}
001 021 041 061 081

But note that `{x..y}` has a major limitation: it doesn't support variables. Example:

$ n=5
$ echo {1..$n}
{1..5}
# intended output: 1 2 3 4 5

The `for ((...))` syntax mentioned by @zazaulola supports variables (it works in bash and zsh).

For completeness, here is a POSIX sh approach that doesn't require `seq` (in fact I notice this is what your "Uber Fancy" version uses internally):

i=1
while [ "$i" -le 5 ]; do
echo "$i"
i="$((i+1))"
done

(but note that `continue` won't work properly).

STEAM seems like a pointless acronym. There’s nothing left that it doesn’t cover. You might as well just say “school subjects”.
> Russia mass at the borders and shouted for months that they would invade if their demands were not met.

Except that’s not what happened. They spent months building up troops repeatedly claiming it was just a military training exercise, denying they were building up to invade and that they had “no plans to invade Ukraine” until “whoops we invaded haha we were lying about the drills after all”

Yes they were making noise about nato as a pretense to Putin’s imperialism, because concern of nato is a farce. But they continually denied plans to invade.

This wasn’t very long ago. It was earlier this year, why are people getting details so wrong?
Ad companies don't sell your data. It's one of their most valuable assets. They sell access to impressions that are targeted based on modeling of that data.

It is a nuanced, yet extremely important distinction.
No not really, these are all about JavaScript. Wasm makes everything portable like JavaScript.
That's where you're wrong. There was a special sales force to sell the Star. It was small, though: maybe 100 people. Photocopier salesmen weren't allowed to sell it.
Right. Obviously, there are (a very small number of) people who try to abuse Wikipedia for their own gain. They are almost always identified quickly, and dealt with accordingly.

But they are not the ones who "built Wikipedia". The ones that did never made a dime. If someone sticks an advertising poster to the front door of a human rights advocacy group's headquarters during the night, and the poster is removed the next morning, the fact that it hung there for a few hours says absolutely nothing about the organization or the people who work for it.

I see articles like the one you linked to, which try to extract sensationalist value out of such non-events, as part of a deliberate smear campaign against Wikipedia. The idea is to create the impression that Wikipedia has been infiltrated by political and commercial interests, which is absolute hogwash. This smear campaign has been going on for many, many years, and I've just learned to ignore such claims entirely, since I've convinced myself long ago that they are without any merit.
I also don't mean to make this so big as to have you throw up your hands at it--that reaction is how systems fail.

There is still very little chance of tenured professors being fired. This exception occurs notably in the case of a longtime, but untenured instructor.

When you say the system should be fair and flexible, it really is as easy as giving students a chance to do better next time. If every student fails the final, let them retake the class and use the second grade in transcripts. If they're unable to retake, refund their tuition or give them a voucher for when they can schedule.

I'm restating other comments so you don't have to hunt them down because its a point worth making--students have no recourse against their colleges, the companies they aspire to move into, or the federal government barring declaration of bankruptcy on their loans. If we want a highly competent workforce, we need to help students train.

I'm glad your university experience worked out well, and aknowledging survivor bias in that and resisting the urge to say "glad its not me" can equip you to help future generations of students, a role that is filled by people who become your reports in your career and your children in your personal life.

"It's a bit of academic hazing to wash out weaker pre-meds from the undergrad program"

In undergrad chemistry my lab partner was a med student whereas I was doing science and engineering. In essence, there were unavoidable common core threads for everyone.

I'm not saying that's good or bad but it was problem for my co chem student not because he was doing poorly but because he was overloaded (his workload was definitely much heavier than mine).

His experience is the reason why I'm not in favor of that approach because it also filters out good students who do badly for other reasons. For example, some students have family commitments and don't have as much time available for study. Others have less time because they have to travel long distances to lectures.

Take my situation, for a part of my studies I used to travel the better part of 200 miles round trip by train and bus each day. I'd leave home when it was dark and also arrive home when dark—that was nearly 6 hours traveling per day.

Making up time studying on the train wasn't an option as I'd just fall asleep. If I'd been doing medicine and that weeding out process adopted then I'd not have stood a chance.

Edit: at a different period when I eventually managed to get closer to uni my flatmate was also a med student and he too always had a much heavier workload than I did.

If I'd been a med student under those conditions, I reckon I'd have wanted to ditch organic chemistry if given half a chance.
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is mostly methane with some ethane and is typically transported in cryogenic containers as it would require too much pressure to otherwise keep it in a liquid state. Even when transported in cryogenic tanks there is some boil off that is either captured and recompressed or used as fuel for the tanker.

Liqified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of propane and butane which does not require cryogenic storage and will remain liquid.

Tip: You can use { } instead of do/done to emulate C syntax.

Aside: [[ -v x ]] tests if the variable x is set. It should probably be [[ x -ne 0 ]] to match the example from the parent.
Was this really a commercial? I think, I've seen this earlier described as an (internal) image film.
The internet where you spend money is the worst. Lots of SaaSy like practices everywhere, like forcing you to answer 100 questions FOR THEM NOT YOU before you can use a thing. Even Windows is now doing this on install. And all the things that pop up - cookie notices, email address collectors, ads, chatbots etc. Let alone all the tracking and so on that comes with it. And the slowness of such sites too, and inability to scroll or use on small screens like a full HD 14". Terrible.

The hardest thing is learning how to relax.

You will die eventually so facing that honestly is good but how does it affect your assessments? Are you going to give up and hedonist? or are you going to try-hard and conservatist? My 2c is to find some balance between the two and find stability in the habits that you enjoy.

Key idea though is to find relaxation, the less you regret or worry, the quicker you can calm down. The more rest you can grab during intermissions the more comfortable you will be. Don't idle on your phone, find peace in boredom.
I don't want to get too far into it, so I'll just say:

Out of curiosity, wasn’t NYU one of the universities that experimented with making the SAT optional, and this undergrad cohort would be the first (or one of the first) that is reaching Organic Chemistry that didn’t have to submit SAT scores to matriculate in the first place?
Who is the asshole who snuck the A into STEM?

Kids have too much Art and not enough Science as it is, thats why we developed a STEM focus.

STEM is science, A is everything else. "The arts and sciences", they are separate for a reason, and the reason is that Art won't feed you and Technology will.

STEAM is a bastardization, a dilution of STEM and of the education of children.

There is room for Art, but if you lump it in with engineering, suddenly the focus is all art and we're right back where we started before we had STEM as an acronym.
I wonder if you did this with a Blu-ray Drive how the resolution would increase.

This is kind of a silly article to me.

It is obvious that nobody can be 100% rational. It is not even rational to think that one can be rational all the time.

I've also been in sales a long time, and it is a given that people make decisions irrationally and then use rationality to justify their irrational decisions.

If you are a hyper rational person and are tasked to make a decision on what product or service to buy, but this product or service is a key purchase that a lot of people and business units will depend on, you may TRY to act rationally. In reality, many other irrational fears come into play. What if you make the wrong decision, despite all the rationality in the world, you don't KNOW if the product or service will work in your business, despite testimonials from other customers of the vendors. And, if it IS a colossal failure, are you going to have hour job if you make a bad decision? Then, will you be forced to move? Will you have to pull your children out of a school where they seem to be excelling? Will your wife want to move if you get fired? Will you be demoted? Will you be kept there, but transferred to a do-nothing job?

All of these issues and more are not rational, and can effect a decision. Lots of people, back in the day, would just buy IBM, because as the saying went, "Nobody gets fired for buying from IBM." Nobody gets fired, because it is the safe choice. Not the best choice, necessarily, but the safest. Because then all you have to do is say, "Hey, it's IBM boss. Everyone buys from them, they have a stellar reputation. This has to be THEIR fault, not mine." And that is true and exactly how it went. Now it is the same for stuff like buying SAP ERP system. Buy another one at the risk of your career.

.

And in the Scientific Method itself, it acknowledges irrationality. The double-blind experiments are specifically designed to eliminate bias as much as possible. Bias meaning irrationality, at least in my books. Another way to eliminate irrationality is reproducability. By having reproducability, it is impossible to be irrational in an argument if the results cannot be duplicated by someone else doing the exact same experiments using the exact same procedures. This has happened many times when someone has tried to duplicate an experiment, only to find out the original was wrong, and someone didn't irrationally publish their results without others being able to double-check.
I have found https://www.collimator.ai/ as a very useful tool to learn and try out control theory concepts. I am a software systems engineer with limited understanding of control systems. But watching Brian Douglas's videos on youtube and then following along by building simple examples in Collimator and simulating them started to give me a better sense of the tutorials. Good luck! Brian's stuff is great :)
Martin Odersky (lead designer of Scala) also pursued this approach some years ago, not sure if any of this actually went into Scala3. He mentioned this in many talks before, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxyyJyB_Ssc (JVMLS 2015 - Compilers are Databases)

A really fun bit of trivia that I discovered in researching my second book was: DataPoint, arguably, sold the first personal computer.

I'm sure you don't believe that, if you've even heard of that company. They were huge in the 70s, a public company, and they had a terminal that did not require a mainframe connection, i.e. a PC.

Their concept of a PC, though, was "You can do your data entry offline, and then when you're connected, you upload the data! It's magic!" No third-party apps, no "apps" of any kind, and of course not for retail sales.

They also had a LAN, ARCNet, which was a 4MB token ring that ran over regular twisted pair. It was solid, too.
Pop!_OS is still based on Ubuntu, so I doubt that they are going to ship unpatched upstream GTK, it's more likely going to be patched by Canonical.
I have an Irish O' surname, and I've been to too many conferences where it's been changed to O%apos; on my nametag, and in once case a registration failed because there is a second unicode apostrophe that some text editors use which means my name won't match what's in their database. Not to mention many sites consider it an illegal character and drop the apostrophe all together.

It's infuriating, I've seriously considered changing my name because of it.
My strat for something like this is often to 'massage' it with basic unix commands, and then feed sane input into the program.

In both of those cases the cost is $x and a mostly functional battery. This is substantially higher than $x and will track with the cost of dealing with whatever anti repair countermeasures tesla puts in place, not the cost of storage..
We have changed the environment that we live in. And in doing so, we created our own Achille’s heel. Possibly the future (or non-future) of civilisation will be the outcome of a natural selection of the fittest, of the culture that deals with this in the best way.

They actually are able to convert co2 directly (using microbes) but also work with methane from e.g. waste.
By that logic you prefer random recommendations over personalized ones which means listening to the radio and TV over Netflix and Spotify
Yeah, I had searched github for it and saw Microsoft’s C# repo for it.
Using 3 you can get more colors with human readable names, and maybe pick the canonical color for any given word based on some criteria of interestingness.
Yeah, I have a problem with that.

This is a hyperbolic example to make a point -> What happens if a state passes a law that has a mandatory death penalty for people who are left-handed, and our new Supreme Court justices say it is A-OK with a state to have this kind of law?

I'm not saying this specific law, again it is a silly example to make a point, but why would a state be compelled to give full faith and credit to laws of other states that are completely batshite crazy?

One that is NOT crazy is many red states want to convict women having an abortion of murder. This is an actual thing that many Republicans take seriously and want. This can mean life imprisonment, or even execution of the woman for murder.

How is this ok?

Right, what was not clear to me was that raid configuration and snapshots are also part of the file system. Usually, that's done through hardware cards or software raid where the configuration sits not on the file system (?) (Intel VROC, vSAN, etc), at least that was my wrong conceptual model. I used to make multiple copies of the USB stick of FreeNAS 8 back in the day because I didn't want the USB drive to fail and not knowing how to recover the zpool. Messing around with the file system directly cleared up everything.
You can of course write and ask. Most likely the reply will be that the domain is for sale.

You may be able to negotiate a price where you and he agree of a mutual value. However given that this is a 3 letter domain, and it's a vanity project (ie presumably not commercial) I expect you'll find the price too high.

Alas there is no "right to ownership" - domains are served on a fist-come, first-served basis (with a few exceptions for registered trade marks.)

The solution is creativity, not cash. Something like drewashere.au

I came here to say the same thing and was glad to see someone else already did. So I simply upvoted you.

I might add that also he was looking for two more things that some times also are rejuvenating:

(c) physical exercise

(d) a relief from decision fatigue: "I did not want to be asked to make a lot of decisions everyday. . . . I wanted literally to be told what to do every day and I wanted that structure to be rigorous." This can get old after a while too, but routine can be a nice change for a while, if every day you at your old job you had to be a creative or always solve new problems, like if you were a designer, director, etc.

The same is true with an Adwaita theme for KDE/Qt Apps. I used to do this on both, Plasma and GNOME.

These days I style my Qt/KDE apps all Breeze on GNOME and vice versa when I am on KDE, because unfortunately icon sets just don’t match up and I've run into 'invisible buttons' issues way to often.

As long as both are in dark/light mode I find this way less annoying than having to hope for a good enough tooltip on mouse over (or just tap and see on mobile).

We have orbital predictions for all the asteroids above a certain size, but only a fraction of tens of thousands of smaller bodies entirely sufficient to end civilization and very possibly drive us to extinction.

One struck the ice sheet in Canada only 12,800 years ago that wiped out 30+ genera in North America including camels, horses, cheetahs, mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, dire wolves, sabertooth cats, a giant beaver, and a giant bear. Their bones, and Clovis spear points, appear only below a thin stratum with massively elevated platinum concentration.

> Then attention becomes more valuable under Capitalism, so a siginficant portion of people will choose to have low screen time?

I'm not the person you've responded to but i don't think that these sentences are logically connected.

If the former is true then the hustle to get this attention will become even stronger, increasing the attention economy.
Unless you're not talking about valuable in a momentary manner, but that would mean you've moved on from capitalism.
