Second this. I didn't have the money for required uniforms, and no health insurance, so sports/band/several other potential ways I could look good on a college app, were basically off the table for me.
Ah, that sucks. You might try:

I used to use Firefox with NoScript; haven't tried it on this.
I believe I almost all cases the doctor removing and the doctor installing are on two different medical teams.

Otherwise you’d be doing two surgeries back to back, using two different skill sets and at two different locations.
Just adopt my dad's method: randomly insert some amount of spaces before and after every period in a sentence.
I’ve been thinking about writing a code analysis and refactoring tool that would expose facts like AST node info, expression typings, etc as queryable collections. To make this fast and interactive, you’d only compute the facts needed for a query and ideally incrementally maintain those as files change.

Rust used a Datalog library inside the borrow checker for this; I’d like to bring similar model to more languages so that some kinds of refactors or lints written as queries could potentially be shared between languages - for example, a lint rule that prohibits optional arguments to functions.

I wonder if GlueSQL would work naturally as this kind of “OSQuery for source code”.
This is cool if you are interested in digital synthesis. Pure data and max/ msp have a long and complicated history. Very nice to see that pure data is still keeping up vs the ableton live / max programs.

What’s new about it is the uncompromising quality + reliability, MacOs’ incredible integration with the Apple ecosystem including AirPods Pro, messaging, the iphone and iPad.

It’s taken a lot of work but at this time things feel intuitive and “just work”-ing in a way that I can only describe as technology from the future.
Some crazy fantasy land like... the EU
There's nothing hypothetical here. No could be used, is used for propaganda.

- Regime has a track record of human rights abuses
- Company takes payment, sends out judge, stamps out record
- Company takes a stance as "family values oriented"
- Company is then subjected to press coverage pointing out they are working with human rights abuser.
- The only public statement they have made is in support of their "record holders". Nothing revoked, revisited, reviewed.

If they had "family values", why wouldn't they do this upon learning about who they work with?

It's been a number of years, and they have done nothing.

This is not the consistent position worthy of respect you think it is.

You additionally keep going back to devil's advocate about choices you could make as an individual. You seem to decline to look further into what is happening between a regime lead by an individual and a for profit company, beyond holding them up as... admirable.

If you did, you would now know the individual in question does things like take political prisoners, expose the population to harm (mass participation record attempts during a pandemic), spend billions on world record attempt buildings, and more.

It's clear cut. The company involved is not achieving any tangible real world good. They are protecting someone who paid them.
Building the world's biggest X is not providing any social value.

To pretend that a giant statue record is the same as a school or hospital is disingenuous.
It often takes a while for comments to start showing up. That can be a good sign, actually—interesting reactions often take a while, since processing information takes time. Quick reflexive responses are often a bit mechanical/predictable.

Go into infosec with a tilt towards app sec and architecture. No on call (unless you’re part of a SOC or incident response is part of the role). Do not accept on call roles.

I left DevOps/infra for infosec/risk mgmt in part due to on call rotations, and would never accept a job again that required them.
I have a Moonlander and mapped the key that typically in the caps lock position (just to the left of 'A') to escape, and - depending on if I'm in mac or windows mode - ⌘-W/Ctrl-W on double-tap and ⌘-Q/Alt-F4 on tap-hold. Makes it really easy to close modals, windows, and applications.
It’s weird to me that’s the thing you chose to focus on in my comment, but okay.

In the summertime I lock my exterior door(s) when I go to bed, even if I have left the windows open. It’s obviously trivial to enter my home if you’re motivated. I’m aware of the contradiction. Closing and locking the door isn’t impenetrable fortification, but it is a clear expression of my will. Opening the window isn’t an invitation to enter my home, it’s a flaw I’m willing to accept to enjoy cool air after hot summer days. If you come into my home through my window under those circumstances, you’re clearly availing yourself of an obvious loophole in my home security arrangement… but you’re being a jerk nonetheless.

People set expectations all the time in all sorts of flawed ways where their expectations might not be met. This is one of them. I agree with the quote in my previous comment: not even a perfect license with no conceivable loophole will prevent someone from exploiting the obvious loophole that a license is a social agreement with its own limited capacity to enforce. Even if you theoretically have bulletproof legal recourse, you have to have legal resources to get it. There’s no license I can imagine which doesn’t have that loophole.

But yeah so, “jerk” was hardly the point of my comment. But if that’s the nit you want to pick, violating someone’s express permission to their belongings because you understand their intent but you’ve found an exception in how it was expressed… that does mean you’re being a jerk. You’re welcome to disagree however fundamentally, but you know what their intention is in limiting how they share their resources and you know you’re only entitled to it by disregarding that to take what you want.
If you’re actually good I don’t think you can be called a snake oil salesman exactly.

Supabase is the best place to let a VC fund your free DB.
I think the license change is a lousy move, but the software isn’t suddenly behind a new license. New versions will be. If there’s a community behind the software they can fork it.

You’re not entitled to someone else’s work forever just because something was open sourced. I think it’s a bad move, but I’ve no right to expect others to do future work for me. They made it possible for others to carry it on, if they’re willing to do the work.
? Very often barriers aren't even primarily a question of money/time/effort -- they're simply a question of awareness that an option even exists or that it matters.

100% agree, and this was an experience I had as well coming from a single parent household with a high school dropout. I, thankfully, had a grandfather that had forgone college and regretted it. So, every chance he got, he reminded me to study, so my life wouldn't wind up as hard as his and my mother's. I wholeheartedly recognize that just knowing there was an attainable way out was a huge advantage over similarly poor kids. A lot of my friends and family pretty much self-selected themselves out before high school even began.
If someone is in a coma and pulling the plug would take days to kill them, they should euthanize them. Either way the person will die, but euthanasia speeds up the process and helps if they are still conscious in there somewhere.

It's a weird place where we don't consider it killing to let a helpless body starve, but we do consider it killing to inject something that ends things quickly. Both sound like killing to me, and both are ok in some situations.
You made a statement that clearly begged the question, and now I see that you’ve made this comment twice to try and stop further discussion and examination of your claims, and yet I see a perfectly fine and interesting discussion has continued below and hasn’t devolved at all.

Might be time to check more than one of your assumptions, but more importantly, stop trying to police what I and others here say. I’m an adult, if you don’t wish to engage further that’s up to you but I and the others on these boards can make our own decisions, and there are moderators for when things get out of hand. Thanks.
Defined contribution plans have been an abject failure.

Quite simply, the guise of individual exceptionalism and the illusion of financial control was used to justify the shift away from pensions, which shareholders took profit from what would’ve been pension contributions, and compounded by stagnant wages, a substantial amount of workers were left with nothing.

Great thing about Raspberry Pi 400, other than being really cool, is that the supply is pre-committed, so while you cannot easily find a Pi for sticker price, you can find the Pi 400 reliably from mainstream authorized sellers.

You are accusing me of a bad faith question?

Elaborate, and make it good.
If being a hosted language alienates people from the language (item 2) they just don’t like the language. It was born as a hosted language and really isn’t clojure without host interop. It’s core to how Clojure is viable in the first place, core to its performance, core to its ability to have libraries. (It also seems to be taking into some really interesting places - from Java and .Net to JS and now Dart.)

Failing to write a native runtime from scratch and unearth one of the founding bedrocks of the language doesn’t mean Clojure is hostile to input or trying to alienate anyone, it’s just a massive project that no one is currently interested in (for good reason IMO).

This is the advantage of putting WYSWYG fully in the garbage where it belongs.

It also lets you shuffle around sentences when editing which is nice.
Thanks for posting.

I've always had an appreciation for language, particularly concise, poignant, highly-visual word images that seem to snap you out of your mental lull in a handful of syllables.

For the most part poetry, however, was completely inaccessible to me. Uninteresting, even. It always felt too angsty, overly pretentious, seemingly trying too hard for it's own good and for my own pragmatic self to appreciate it.

Anyone can fall in love with a few easy-to-digest classics like the ending of 'The Hollow Men' (T.S. Eliot):

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

But nothing beyond those few textbook classics every clicked with me.

I don't know what changed a year or two back, now in my early 40s, but I decided to give poetry another chance recently, and I regret that I wasn't able to appreciate it's condensed, sometimes brutal, sometimes tender, ofttimes hit-and-miss relevance. Maybe just a lack of maturity on my part, but it's brought a lot of value to my life finding a handful of authors that resonate with me.

Most of them well known: W.H. Auden (“All we are not stares back at what we are.”), Seamus Heaney, T.S. Eliot, Baudelaire ("I am the wound and I the knife! \ I am the blow I give, and feel!")

Some unknown to me until recently, and whom I can't remember how I came across, but who I've grown to appreciate a lot: Ocean Vuong is definitely heavy on the angsty side, but God he can turn a phrase, pushing out some poignant parallel that catches you off guard. And you can forgive a bit of angst in the disorienting world we live in today.

I wish I'd have had more patience, or sensitivity, or just more of the requisite life experiences to appreciate poetry earlier, and not be ashamed of trying to be more open to it. All those emotions and ideas and feelings pared brutally down to the bone, until only a handful of sounds and syllables and some highly distilled reflection remains.

Christopher Fry wrote: "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement". That expresses poetry well, for me ... at least for the authors that seem to resonate with me and my own life experiences.

If you're like me and have an interest in learning to appreciate poetry, but have no real bearings on where to start, I'd recommend 'How to Read Poetry Like a Professor' by Thomas C. Foster. He has a wonderful, witty writing style, but was an enormous help to me learning how to read and appreciate poetry.

Ordered this set of translations from Wong May just now. I'm thoroughly grounded in the Western tradition, but definitely open to a nice mental image from anywhere, and the (rather Wordsworthian) line in the subject here has a nice feel to it.

Two spacing does not increase legibility of the information. That is the only meaningful metric I care about. If there are studies to show that two-spacing vs single spacing has a meaningful difference in how quickly a human parses or understands information, I will care about changing spacing. The author argues comfort, but because I am so used to single spacing, the two-spaced writing feels awkwardly spaced. I can't easily parse where sentences start and end. The other arguments are pointless.

I recognize people still read print, but I can safely say that 90%+ of all of the reading I have done in the past month has been digital. I don't think most people choose vim over a word editor like google docs or microsoft word when writing. The most common ebooks I read are in the epub format, which is based on html. The only pdfs I read are technical papers that are in two column format. There doesn't seem to be a place where two spacing will make a difference.

Looking at the page source shows the sentences are two-spaced. But that's not how any of the information is presented. If the author is used to it, there's no reason to change it. I believe that being trained to write the way most people write is more important.

It doesn't take much to search+replace two blank spaces with one. Going in the opposite direction is only a little more involved with having to specify a punctuation so you don't end up double spacing every word as well.

This is my sentiment today when using the product.
I would not suggest trying to change your job or start a business when you first become a father.

The first few months or so it's easy to leave everything to the mother, as the baby is basically just feeding and sleeping and pooping. It seems that you don't need to do much, so can take life easy and take on new projects. Wrong. This is when you need to do the most.

if you have family living nearby who can look after the child that will help a lot. If you don't, then sorry, you just need to accept that the next few years are going to be very demanding for you. If it's an option to relocate to be closer, I would highly suggest you take it.

If you have a job, count that as a blessing. The internet has made most of us materialists and carnal. It sure did that to me. I recently sold my powerful desktop and traded my monitor for a few hundred bucks and I've been left with a bunch of cables that I no longer need nor wish sell. So I'm just going to hand them to Goodwill. I have been cleaning my whole apartment from wall to wall now for the last week and a half. I will be 100% done tomorrow.

My apartment did not show evidence of life in it for years because I was too concentrated on my monitor screen. Life and the days rolled by seemingly I was barely in it to make any difference. I finally got a job that I like that is not tech oriented and now I spend most of my time standing and although my feet hurt I feel stronger now because of it.

I had a lot of high hopes with some work that I was doing but I was not thinking clearly to see it was really just a hobby that can't have legs.

The process of liquidation takes a certain threshold. When you start to notice it is already a little late. I took out 7 contractor sized bags of laundry and did the wash on anything made of fabric. I then took my wardrobe and started tossing stuff I didn't like or donating the better parts that didn't fit to the thrift. I replaced all my tshirts with polo to match my new employer dress code. Each shirt only cost $4 to replace from the salvation army (new ones would cost at least 4 times as much). I got smaller pants that now fit mostly without a belt though I still have wear one.

I spent about $150 of my new money for things like pillows and bedding and throw pillows and some GFS food.

I did some fun entertaining in my now clean apartment today. I made gyros from a kit I bought and made a salad for my brother. After that I toasted some marshmallows on the range and made smores in the oven. I have found that food pleases more than music if you know how to do either.

I've got plans to do some more entertaining now that I can do it. I didn't think of that when I started but now it seems doable. The more face time I have the better I feel. I think the Lord is behind us for downsizing. We really don't need a lot of the stuff we've acquired.
Ooo, this seems more explicitly supportive of my AST query idea
Historic, and not in a good way. A callback to the public humiliations of the Cultural Revolution under Mao. Xi is explicitly becoming a dictator in the Mao tradition (obvious for years, but this is a swinging dick move).
As a general rule, people aren’t willing to pay for the things considered public goods.

Then they whine that said news chases views.

My opinion is that McCarthy is the greatest living novelist. Blood meridian is one of the greatest works of English literature, and rival's Moby Dick as an epic.

His works are worth your attention.
I just assumed astroturfing
To me, two-space will often break the flow of the text while reading, because the gap between the period and the next word often exceeds the gap between the current line and the next line down. The gestalt theory of perception explains how we mentally group objects by their proximity. If the next word is closer to the bottom line than it is to the period that came before it, then the hierarchy of connection is broken. I haven't done a study, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that it would take slightly more cognitive load to rearrange that hierarchy in your head. I believe this may be why some people perceive two-space as "ugly". It also explains why text with a too-small line height is equally unpleasant.

I know what it is like to be asked that unanswerable question: “where is mummy?” I gasped when it appeared at the end of the essay.

The thing about having a kid is you have to get up and keep moving. The author decided to clean up and shave, but even if you don’t you can’t spend all your time moping. The kid needs your help.
