I am seeing this happening on multiple occasions in my career. One: there was this engineer I in my sister team. They put in just enough effort to get by and not to get pipped. They were not incompetent, I would argue the opposite. I thought they were lazy for doing minimal amount of work to get by while I was putting in 200% for the customers. Fast forward a couple of years, I couldn’t get to the promotion I needed the most. They retired and then retreated to a LCL area. Looking back, I would admire them for being conscious about work.

Second: current team, there is this employee who has been with the firm for over 18 years. They are in product management, not an engineer. Recently performance review questioned why they stay at that role for so long: was that because of complacency or just incompetence? Their manager answers that they are good of what they’ve been doing for over 15 years, but have no motivation for moving up because they care more about work life balance and family relationships. They were put to pip next quarter.

Those two experiences have shaped my perception of work very much. Especially the 2nd one, where I was involved in the performance review. I see all the nasty side of management and stack ranking system designed to screwed employees, albeit they are doing a decent jobs. I’m still pushing for my promotion everyday. But, I no longer am invested emotionally heavily in that rat race. If I am to be promoted next time, it is great. If not, it’s not because I’m incompetent, just quiet quitting.

Peace and take care of your health, fellows.

That's exactly what the average creative professional does. As an anecdote, being intellectually honest, most of the architects I know (and I know many as an housing architect myself), would not do better than this tool does now - "creatively" speaking - let alone in the future.
I think it's more important to look at all-cause mortality, because treatment can also harm you. In this case it's a fairly tight confidence interval: "The risk of death from any cause was 11.03% in the invited group and 11.04% in the usual-care group (risk ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.04)."
Apple basically is an everything app embedded on an everything device.
PoW doesn’t magically address the interface problem with the real world.

I have to assume by now that any responses in the crypto world that amount to “this coin will fix it” are made by people that own that coin. No further analysis is necessary at this point.
When I started seeing ads for online casinos and sports books proliferate along with the concurrent rise of buy now, pay later services, my first thought was: “This is going to end in tears.”
The consistent problem with decentralized everything is fraud. Centralized organizations spend immense amounts of time and effort fighting fraud and ultimately eating some of it as a cost of doing business. As soon as you start decentralizing, either fraud needs to be eliminated entirely (good fucking luck with that lol, if you have a way to do this there are easily millions in it for you elsewhere) or it's going to be shouldered by users.
lacking context about certain issues certainly does remove significance of individuals trying to speak about certain matters, yes.
It's worth considering that some of us want to rent. I've moved for work a few times, so I rented because it wasn't worth the hassle of buying a house, living in it for 2 years, then selling it to move. Some people move to a big city to start a career, with the intentions of moving back towards home when they've cut their teeth.

Having the option to rent is a good thing, being forced to rent when you don't want to is a bad thing. Hopefully we can accommodate both.
Great to hear that Firefox on macOS might get snappier with these changes. The reliance on undocumented APIs is the only potential red flag.

Out of curiosity, does Chromium use spinlocks on macOS? If they do in a scenario where characteristics need to be similar to the jemalloc use case, how are they accomplishing the outcome?
Great 404 page design on Ft.com
> Paredit is doable with Treesitter

Yes, indeed.

Helix has built-in paredit-like navigation using tree-sitter, the default keybindings are alt-i, alt-o, alt-n and alt-p.

Maybe the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) used by vscode will solve the REPL issue in the future. Helix has experimental DAP support but it's still quite rough (but no Clojure DAP server yet).
Seems like a valid point, but aren’t 99.999% of kitchen remodels rehashing the same ideas and concepts in circulation? 99.999% of clothes? 99.999% of furniture?
That's what I'm saying changed 4 months ago here in NYC.

They were chasing and catching literally everyone. Well, the cops at the turnstile would radio the cops on the platform if they ran.

The people caught were really pissed about it too. Lotta loud arguing every time I went into the subway since they were catching people constantly. Granted I live in a neighborhood where people jump the turnstiles a lot.
The web is an everything app, and despite capture by incumbents it is still the most open platform we have and it is not illiberal. The reason for that is open standards that are not owned by anyone. We need open identity standards and open payment standards so we can have an everything web that is liberal. But governments have to allow those things to happen. Right now their legislation favors the incumbent monopolies
I actually enjoyed reading this comment because it's one of the few, which made me think and weren't just attacks or labelling.

I disagree with “it's satire when I do it to you, but it's cancel culture”. Yes, this statement gets often used by people who try to victimize themselves, but I don't think it's the case here. I can't find the words right now to express reasoning right now, but I'll come back later and revisit this post.

> but I'd be very surprised if he wasn't fully aware that his domain is very popular with fascist trolls and used for quick and easy sockpuppet manufacture and has been for years

Yes! I would be surprised too, if there weren't users who are coming from the right wing, but imo cock.li is actually a bad choice if you intend to harass someone online: The major social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Discord, Xenforo (customizable) and YouTube just straight up block all domains from cock.li from signing up because they have the same reputation as trash mails: They can be almost endlessly created without any major cost.

Besides that, the service also undeniably experienced abuse, like the bomb threat which was sent by some student to his school from madbomber@cock.li. But I think that's what happens when you mix young people (maybe social rejects?) + privacy. Same stuff as on 4chan.

Something else that made me wondering just at this moment: Reddit still does not require any kind of mail when signing up. This is quite surprising to me.
Yeah but that’s like 1/100 people you meet. Most people don’t care about the stuff you care about, jjulius.

What is Strict Aliasing and Why do we Care?
Oh hell no. I'm glad that Whatsapp is being mostly left alone, or at least that's what I see as a user. They ship some improvements and extraneous stuff (Whatsapp Status) from time to time, but the core of the app stays as it is.

Most people don't look forward to every time their app is redesigned starting from the icon up. It mostly doesn't get better, it gets worse to satisfy a Product Manager's CV checkbox.
I assume this allows them to get to 30fps.
>This is an important detail. Your phone location might be helpful when using drones (though GPS should be on the drone, not your phone)

I'd imagine it would be important for "come back home" like functionality in case drone loses signal or whatever

> but there is absolutely no reason to use it for something like a phone stabilizer, which it absolutely requires and will not let you continue unless you turn it on

App making photos or movies using GPS to tag location of the photo is kinda common. Refusing to work without it would be sketchy tho, but "developer is kinda incompetent" is common enough...

Not saying it isn't malicious but those are easier explanations.

Hell, it could require permissions and not send the data now, just add that tracking in update...
The roads have similar requirements (licensing, etc) and the way it is policed is with police. Similar methods can be done for other systems, if desired.

But it's much simpler and easier to deal with a single or a few entities, and so things collect and congeal.
Against Effective Altruism
Yeah that may well be. I'm just saying that it's a pretty horribly hacky way of making a portable script. It can be made to work, of course.
My father died of colon cancer at age 67. I've been getting screened every 5 years, first by sigmoidoscopy and the last couple of times with the full colonoscopy.

With a sigmoidoscopy you're awake and the doctor will show you what they're looking at. I guess that's intrusive but it certainly wasn't painful.

With colonoscopy, you're under anesthesia. It was probably intrusive but since I wasn't conscious, I didn't care. There was no pain when I regained consciousness.

I'd rather do a stool sample by mail or dropping it off at the clinic if it has the same results as the colonoscopy. There's always a risk with general anesthesia.

I don't know if my case is the norm and yours is the exception. I tend to think it is. My dad missed spending time with his grandchildren and it's possible he'd still be around if he'd been examined. So get that colonoscopy.
Damn, I felt that.
> decentralization, like what you describe in cab services, dilutes power

Exactly. It dilutes the cabbies power of negotiation, collective bargaining, unionization in general. It's bad for workers rights.
To be fair there are already gates everywhere there's an entrance that doesn't have a manned booth.

There are only turnstiles that can be jumped at the entrances that are manned by an attendant 24/7.
WFH is more widespread, but have you seen all those videos and memes of people attaching their mouse to a fan or whatever so their employer can't see that they're stepping away from their laptop? That would be unthinkable at my cushy tech job, but some employers are clearly using it as an opportunity for even more employee surveillance and asserting more control over their employees' time.

This is just a con right? Like, there's just too many red flags for this not to be a con. Firstly, they're going to be selling these for significantly less than the cost of a decent sized yacht. Secondly, they're pushing this WeWork style "We'll upgrade your smart home remotely with our amazing technology". ANd finally, they're putting this absurd eco-spin on this, but let's face it, the decision to build a floating house that can only be resupplied via boat immediately puts a massive ongoing burden on the design in terms of harming the environment. Everything you eat needs to be delivered (Oh don't worry we're going to single handedly invent drone technology), and there's no sewage system (let's face it, they probably just end up pumping it in to the sea).

I wonder how this relates to the traditional sea-steading crowd - who have always traditionally ended up boiling the entire thing down to "Look man, I just want a home outside of any tax jurisdiction".
Who thought letting children gamble was a good idea? But here we are 30 years later and Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon cards are still a thing. Most people don't even recognize them as gambling.

Just because a slot machine has a guaranteed minimum payout, which in this case is 10 pieces of cardboard with nice pictures on them, doesn't make it not gambling.
The ocean is quite efficient at composting organic waste and deliveries are via electric drone, not fishing boat.
The usual answer is third party reputation tracking and resultant self-regulation as a silver bullet.

Hopefully the Yelp mafia have disabused people of that notion.

Anyone know how Chromebooks generally are doing? I use one at work and I’ve been surprised by how effective it has been, I really don’t feel a huge loss between it and a Mac because my company just does everything in the browser. For my next personal laptop I may stick with a Mac but would certainly choose a Chromebook over a Windows PC because it’s just a better user experience IMO
You listed four options that consumers have to choose from. Our market is already different than the one that led to an "everything app" in China.

Whatever Elon builds will have to compete with all of those existing options, most of which are backed by major players with deep pockets.

The result of such competition is going to push everyone in the space to try harder, which will probably benefit consumers.

Unless the protocol changes to specifically address this, I find it unlikely that LSP will ever be a full solution for real-time syntax highlighting. The amount of JSON that has to be slung interprocess on each edit is just too much. Providing extra semantic highlighting on top of a built in option, absolutely, but I don't think it can replace an in-process, specifically incremental option like Tree-sitter or Sublime/TextMate language defs (or a completely custom solution like JetBrains, Nova, etc.).
Yeah, makes sense from "not confusing users" perspective.

"This app only needs wifi network list, it isn't spying on me" would be easy mistake to make
> The incentive for every jurisdiction would be to degenerate into becoming free riders.

Only societies starved of ideas other than lowest common denominator free-market thinking. In reality societies choose to do the thng that cost money, for no other reason than that they want the outcome. We do tons of things for no specific (short term) gain. Some would say that this is what sets a great civilization apart from the rest.
Shopify’s Architecture to Handle the World’s Biggest Flash Sales
They are more of a platform as you need web sites / apps for it to be useful.

Similar to how you need programs for the OS platform to be useful.

Things you deploy to are platforms (web, windows, macos, etc.), the things being deployed onto platforms are apps.

But a browser was first (and still is) a document reader, so it's also a limited app in that sense.
> zero chance of resurrection

This assumes 100% chance of being murdered in the first place which isn't true.

If you put an innocent person I'm prison, they definitely suffer for no reason. If a guilty person goes free, they might commit another crime.
Instagram is owned by Meta unless Musk did something surprising last night.
Not to mention that in centralized systems there's an ultimate authority who's willing to sacrifice a little of their profit as a cost of doing business in order to make sure that real customers that were scammed or had an issue of some kind have a good experience.
But who will guard the guards?
There's a long capital raising period where the co-op will need to raise a substantial amount of capital in the form or preferred shares and owner loans. The co op near me says they need a certain percentage of capital to come from owners in order to secure commercial loans, and they've recently completed raising capital after signing up owners for the last 9 years.
Unfortunately, even simple undergraduate proofs can be monumentally difficult or even impossible to translate into a type theory due to inherent limitations of the theory or the type checker.
I love the playbook mentioned here. I think it's part of this library: https://fci.coop/business-development/

Seems reminiscent to me of the open-source ethos or the (declining?) community spirit in tech startup land. Except where organizations compete directly, collaboration makes a lot of sense.
The "no-bullshit" design of this blog is already kind of a break, very refreshing. Something about the style and/or the typo makes it pleasant to read also.
Rather ignores the elephant in the room: the hardware itself and its lifespan.

-The design lifetime for current consumer devices is a single digit number of years; if you're lucky you might get twice that. Any battery powered devices will have their batteries fail well before that.

-Some parts, like electrolytic capacitors and the lubricants in HDDs, age whether they're being actively used or not.

-Reparability is pretty close to nil on modern devices even with specialized equipment. Without that equipment and the supplies needed to use it, it is simply nil.

Before maundering about software and proprietary this and SaaS that, the author needs to define what hardware platform they _realistically_ expect to have available after a societal collapse. After about 5-10 years into the collapse, it will probably be a lot less than they think.
Facebook could have been an "everything app" if they had bothered to really try; as it is they ate almost all small business/small group "websites", sadly.
Both sides are purchasing these specific DJI drones in large quantities to be used by personnel on the ground to spot each other. It is a commodity not unlike binoculars were a century ago.
Yeah unfortunately that was my experience as well when i tested Manyverse and Patchwork on my test Android and Linux devices.

The Planetary app handles this much better, but it’s only on iOS/iPadOS ( therefore also able to run on M1 MacBooks) unfortunately.
I oftentimes wonder if there’s any way to have a system where a ML inferencer does the majority of the captioning work and a volunteer can pickup the various spots where it went wrong.

Basically, each word that has a low prediction value can show multiple choice options and the volunteer simply chooses the correct word on a number pad.

Hiring a real person sounds expensive so I’m trying to target a 100-500 people audience with a service that costs $0-10 per day.
Or safe access to gasp abortion.
A phone is a physical purchased good though, that sets it in a whole different category, you can't prevent someone from getting a phone, generally, and he has freedom to choose how to use it.

The implicit requirement to have a phone is a whole different matter that can be argued about, but that conversation is also about mail addresses or bank accounts and even further away from what the article comments on.

My current as well as last two jobs, the only thing i brought in was a single coffee mug, and no other personal effects. (The mug was because i'm doing my little bit to help the environment by re-using my cup...I know, I know, its a very small bit, but still.) I have long seen myself as merely a mercenary. But, my latest job - started only 8 months ago - was supoosed to be the company where i retire from. That is, where i stop being the merc. But in just those 8 months, i already have seen the awful apporoach senior leadership takes towards its employees. So, i guess i stay as a merc. (and slowly plan my pivot towards being my own boss...charging these senior leaders exorbitant consultant rates. ;-)
ci is "change inner ..."

If we use | to mark our cursor, and you have your cursor inside quote: '"he|re"'

ci" would replace everything inside giving you '"|"' and putting you in insert mode.

cab would aso remove the quotation marks and give you '|'

With ce or cw you'd get '"he"' and cE or cW would give you '"he'
Sony Boldy Claims Smartphone Cameras Will Surpass DSLR Image Quality by 2024
> it lets you transfer a web "player" to a TV set that could support sports betting through the remote control

The problem with that is the broadcast delays; live betting will always be as fast as possible (so that people who are physically at the match don't get much of a window to place a "guaranteed winner" bet, e.g. "next player to score"), but the various broadcast methods can add up to maybe 20 seconds' delay and most people probably wouldn't want the betting overlay to tell them that someone had scored before the TV pictures show them the action.
Trading is obviously different from investing. Horse racing has no such comparable as an S&P 500 index fund that will produce solid returns over a very long period of time (such that you can safely allocate N% of your income to it over a lifetime and can expect to do well).
I've read a bit around this topic and a rather plausible explanation is that in North America, the European settler mentality was that the north was all empty land. Acknowledging the presence of native American towns, cities, farmlands, etc... would have brought up the inconvenient subject of ownership of the land. It was much more convenient to declare the native Americans as barbarians with little culture & society and the land unused and open to be claimed by European settlers. Inaccurate societal tropes about native Americans still persist today and education about their history is still lacking.

South America was more populated but also the European tactic was of conquest of the natives, not total eradication & displacement (although they did an effective job at those as well).

Try it with a non-Latin script language. It's borderline unusable.

Nothing works in Normal mode. You have to manually switch back to English any time you switch to Normal mode and back to the other language in Insert/Replace mode, or when typing parameters to things like :s.

No other editor requires you to switch language back and forth just to use the editor's commands.

Coops often find it harder to borrow and they cannot sell equity. This makes the every "get some funding" step harder than it sounds. Going over the list I see a lot of people-organizing and community-outreach efforts.
