It's not how I meant it.

She had the experience, education, skill, and drive to succeed when she was put in the right place at the right time. I was with (1) mostly referring to education, skill, and drive.

But also If you were a PhD in math in 1934 and wanted to switch to computers, then you were not "competing" with a bunch of people who'd been doing computers since they were 5, because nobody had.

Parent post said she went to computers in ~1945, which is just two years after "I think there's a world market for maybe five computers".

None of that is transferrable to just anybody's career change decision.

With (1) I could have also said that Ricky Gervais went into comedy at close to 40 years old. But you're not Ricky Gervais, so it's not likely to work out for you.

I agree with some points of it.

However, some people (loosely correlated with age but not strictly) have more unavoidable responsibilities than others. For a very prosaic example, a person without mortgage and kids, all other things equal will have inherently less responsibilities than one with mortgage and kids (while both still have options in principle).

Empathy is a massive skill I've been learning late in life; reluctance to embark on a change may be a factor of internal confidence, external advice or validation, but also of specific circumstances that those of us being asked opinions may or may not fully share, understand, empathize with. I've been learning to ask follow-up questions before answering very broad inquiries for thoughts and advice: What's your situation, constraints, drive, interest, priorities, goals?

> I think (without data, happy to be proven wrong) that the US population is fairly strongly bimodal on most issues. Many issues that people care a lot about (for better or worse...) have two clear centers of gravity,

We'll you'll be happy then! :)

Because this is commonly believed but actually totally untrue. There's an entire book about it, "Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America" by Morris P. Fiorina.

The upshot is basically that if you ask people binary yes/no questions (or binary left/right votes), the population appears divided, bimodal. But whenever you give a sliding scale in surveys, it becomes abundantly clear that the population is centrist -- unimodal. Even for gun control and abortion, the most hot-button issues.

Knowing what parts of your operation are cost centers vs profit centers does not require you to treat employees in any particular way.

If you’re confused about how your company sustains itself, that might even lead you to treat your employees worse over time.

I had a similar experience. Her father threatened to fly over and take her back forcefully if she didn't stop dating me. She told him she stopped but kept seeing me.

Eventually she hoped to elope. She also had a deadline for leaving the country, visa etc... I wasn't as sure as you sounded tho and decided even though things were great we had not been together long enough to get married and she shouldn't give up her family for me.

Two years after she got back they made her choose a husband from one of 3 from a matchmaker. She said she wasn't in love with the guy but she was doing her duty.

I feel like the Iraq war is not a good example if you want to claim that it was good people misled. Millions (including me) protested against that war. There was really no excuse for supporting it.

Totally, my mistake. The correct term is regular tunings, which yield an isomorphic layout on the guitar (well, it would if you had infinite strings). In plain english, the same shape always corresponds to the same intervals no matter what strings you are playing.
I was at IBM (research) at the turn of the century after the Lotus acquisition. IBM was all in on Notes and I was developing notes applications for a department. (I actually came to appreciate Notes, and understand that Notes was being sold for mail, when mail is just another notes database, which is why it isn't great...)

But it was clear later when I met from people from Lotus there was tension between the Lotus division which IBM had bought. The cultures didn't mesh well and they resented everything being IBMified. Though from the IBM side it seemed they really were all in on Notes. Really pushing it hard. Lotus's "smart suite" of desktop application not as much.

Another friends company got bought by IBM a couple years ago. It seems they didn't really want it as they let half the people go (core people, not just overhead).

Its kinda sad really. It seems its better after an acquisition to let the company keep doing what it was doing, with minimal changes (excepting removing the corporate overhead stuff).
Not even. Still a fraction of the userbase and daily activity we are talking about with today's social sites.

I am surprised that we're still stuck at Blu-Ray levels of data storage on disc. I would have thought we would be up to a terabyte or so by now, but everything has stagnated.

Tape remains expensive for the home data hoarder, and there is a point at which cloud storage becomes more expensive than tape.
Heroku was not a player in the 'edge' market. I just googled to confirm. They actually had a "Heroku Edge" CDN that they added in 2020 for the first time[0], which to me is their entry into Edge style hosting.

I think it's fair to call Heroku (and 12factor apps) a pre-cursor to edge computing, but certainly not an early player.

I call this the "disabled errexit quirk" which leads to the "if myfunc" pitfall:

https://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/doc/error-handling.h...

Here's a demo of how Oil fixes it, which I mentioned in this thread:

$ osh hn.sh
a-b-True

You can add shopt --set strict_errexit at the top of your script:

$ osh -o strict_errexit hn.sh
if myfun; then
^~
hn.sh:3: errexit was disabled for this construct

if myfun; then
^~~~~
hn.sh:3: fatal: Can't run a proc while errexit is disabled. Use 'try' or wrap it in a process with $0 myproc

Or just use Oil:

$ oil hn.sh
<same output>

So Oil is acting like a ShellCheck at runtime, to unconditionally flag this error. It cannot be caught using syntax (which ShellCheck is limited to), because function vs. external executable is a runtime decision.
> Why is the system to give a replacement phone every 12 weeks instead of investing in a dedicated device that's much harder to damage or lose? Why is keeping the same number a hassle?

If you're homeless, you're getting robbed. It doesn't matter that a yubikey would be worthless to a person mugging you, they'll take everything including the worthless stuff. Or you're being picked up by an ambulance and taken to a behavioral health center after a mental health crisis and when they do that they take your clothes off and stuff goes missing, even if it's worthless.

Keeping the same number usually requires paying into an account which requires being able to make consistent payments, which is not easy to do. Or a credit card or bank account is required. You are maybe unbanked in this scenario.

> Why are we tackling the problem with caseworkers instead of something more ambitious, that would ironically be less costly in the long run?

Caseworkers make practically nothing. Does your solution get rid of human beings to act as agents for people who sometimes lose touch with reality? Will there be an AI assistant to guide someone through a schizophrenic break and get them to a hospital and help get them reoriented after they regain contact with reality? That's what's necessary and you're treating actually understanding what they're going through as if it's virtue signalling.
You used a different euphemism ("they had it coming") which also serves as atrocity apologia. Which I think goes to show how slippery the myths of violence in our society are, how even when making a conscious effort to recognize and name them they can get away from us. In the same way "industrial workers" can be used to dehumanize and to justify the unjustifiable, "people who had to coming" seeks to put all Germans in the same box and then judge each of them by the worst actions of any of them, in order to sentence them to death.

I appreciate your comments.

They are homeless not Amish. People can have jobs too while being homeless, since you often can't afford rent in many parts of the world with just a single income. You have to choose between a roof over your head, or eating and having a car to be able to go to work. Or you can get a second income, either another job or a relationship, but that's not always an option, hence why so many people live in their cars. Around 200,000 people live in their cars in the United States alone, but that number is climbing rapidly and will reach a million in a few years, because housing is a luxury now.

And just to compare, the cheapest completely useful (4G, 3GB RAM, 3000mAh battery, Android 11) smartphone is $30, the average monthly rent of a two-bedroom apartment in the United States is $1300.

> In a detailed ruling, Judge Stefan Underhill concludes that the service failed to show that it doesn't circumvent YouTube's technological protection measures.

this is saudia arabia tier nonsense. why do these anti piracy articles always mention circumventing a "protection"? how can a news outlet echo this and not bat an eye? this makes me think all the people who support this law are frothing pointy haired scum that think everything should just be their way, mixed with idiots who buy into their arguments like "a protection was circumvented!". im not paying tax money to protect your absolute garbage media making $5 more from blocking piracy. you do not have the right to exist, its a privilege if anyone buys your shit (and we know well that lots of idiots are buying pop media regardless of piracy)

and what music industry? i didnt think such a thing still exists after 2010

also, youtube is unusable garbage, solely because it forces me to use their non-working in browser viewer instead of real software.

Honestly based on a lot of the information I have gathered and problems I have seen the problem is that the managers are subpar at managing and running things, as well as lacking leadership capabilities and that's what leads to a lot of the horrendous stories from employees.

Tweets are microblogs. RSS technology is fine for publishing them. The Twitter client only needs to be an RSS reader. Replies, retweets, and likes are empty calories for end users. They're the engagement bait social media uses to power an attention economy.

The fediverse copied the wrong features. There's no point for it to have an attention economy because no one is monetizing the attention. Therefore there's no need for the empty calorie features, and no need for my data to be on someone else's server.

Some of it will eventually impact you. I have a relative who lost her job because she wouldn’t take the Covid vaccine. She worked remotely for a state government, was in her 20s, and did not have in person interactions with people. She was offered the opportunity to take a lower position with less pay that would require her to work in person with people, but she wouldn’t need to be vaccinated per govt requirements. She declined.

At what point do we care? Who needs to be impacted before it’s important?

I actually struggle with this because my inclination is not to care at all. Just leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone and we can all live together. But in practice, in reality, it doesn’t work like that.
While I agree that the epistemology is shite, there actually is a limit to how much you can do by your own self

I've always wondered about that kink between the G and B string, a major 3rd gap, when all the other strings are spaced perfect fourth. It bothers me because it's an anomaly that breaks the symmetry and increases the number of shapes to keep in mind.

The whole thread is an enjoyable read, and the answer seems to be - like many things in Western music theory - it was a design decision, a kind of legacy code, with pros and cons. "Things evolve to meet a need."

One of the answers talked about an all-fourths tuning, that some instruments use such tunings as standard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_fourths_tuning

Theoretically it's more beautiful, and simplifies the shapes and their movements across the fretboard. It might be a pain to overcome years of learning patterns on the guitar with the kink - I'll have to try it. Sometimes it's good to shake up the foundation and see what new patterns emerge.

Similarly, I love the logic (and I'd say even wisdom) of the piano keyboard - but there are some kinks in there too, which introduce complexity in the patterns and their transformations, making them harder to remember. I'm curious to try a hexagonal keyboard and other alternative layouts - I imagine the symmetry has practical advantages, and to my mind more aesthetically pleasing.

My physical media collection is large and awaiting the day… because I have a sense that movie studios and music companies really don’t want a resurgence… mainly because that would damage the all-important subscriber numbers, and cause more people to have the DRM-cracked-on-all-of-them copies which can be resold…

Movie studios must hate reselling. Buy a movie on iTunes? $15, strong DRM, never able to be resold. Buy it at Goodwill? $3, weak DRM, no new profit whatsoever. Also the iTunes version can be edited in the future to remove anything inconvenient, but the disc can’t.
> This was clearly not Congress's intent.

It couldn't be, but Congress's intent makes no sense either way. A DRM system could simply be a .gif on a webpage or a sticker on a box that says "DRM." If you broke that DRM through the method of not being intimidated by the sticker, is that a special crime?

Is there another way the .gif saying "DRM" on a web page can be deemed ineffective, unless effective means strong?

Proof of stake comes with a number of issues but let's put that apart.

PoW and PoS are means to achieve distributed consensus. It works for cryptocurrencies because writings to the blockchain are performative (what's written is true because the act of writing it makes it true). This can only work inside a given blockchain and only for its own cryptocurrency.

Which means it cannot be used to ensure anything that happens outside that blockchain. In particular all blockchain usage for certifications, traceability, of NFT-like things are essentially nonsensical. Similarly, I don't see how it could work for writings that happens on other blockchains. Whatever is written on blockchain A cannot be considered true in blockchain B without breaking the security model of blockchain B by making blockchain A a trusted third-party.

Where does a distributed consensus mechanism comes into play here?

Maybe it would be clearer with an example? Let's say someone wants to move X tokens from blockchain A to blockchain B, and that at the time of the move, X A-tokens are equivalent to Y B-tokens (trusting the exchange rate in itself is all another problem, but let's put it aside). How would that go?

0The issue here is that homeless don't hold onto anything physical for 4 months; identity verification breaks down in-person immediately as shelters/libraries can't be expected to run a facial recognition operation, and specific shelter employees/volunteers aren't guaranteed to be there anytime a homeless person might walk in and need those backup codes, but it breaks down even further online since 2fa is inherently 'what you know' + ('what you have'/'who you are').
