If your SAD is severe enough that you need to move, I'd recommend looking at the mean hours of sunshine for places you're considering moving. Wikipedia has this for many cities under "Climate".

If you're in the US, many of the "middle western" states have significant sunshine. Oklahoma, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Texas are surprisingly sunny.
I'm Bike's developer. Thanks everyone for the comments.

While I have the eyeballs I hope you don't mind me asking...

I'm in process of adding autocomplete to Bike. Problem is that I generally find macOS autocomplete painful and unpredictable. I both disable it and have many typos. I'm not talking so much about the suggestions, but about the surrounding UI.

I'm looking for ideas/links for how to make autocomplete better and more predictable. I know Mac apps, I do know much else. What are your favorite autocomplete implementations past or present? If you could have a "fixed" macOS autocompletion what would it look like?
"You've done exactly what people already claimed: taken things out of context to try to make them look worse than they really are"

You want people to transcribe every word for you now? I already did the web searches and wrote out snippets for you, so the topic of each video was clear. You could have done those things yourself which is why I'm the first to dish it up; it seems uncharitable to get mad about it and now accuse me of trying to manipulate you!

No relevant context was lost or hidden here. You've added more parts of what one guy said in one case, but that stuff isn't relevant to any point anyone is making in this thread. The discussion started with someone questioning the claim that Twitter employees had radical political beliefs. The Veritas videos were cited as evidence to the contrary and clearly prove the case - one of the employees literally claims Twitter staff were "commie as fuck".

It seems that you accept this original claim is true and are now arguing about something different - that you support their justifications. But their justifications for their radical politics was not a topic in this thread. Not writing out every word isn't an attempt to hide anything, as you saw, because the video is right there - with links for your convenience - ready for you to watch it, and, if you wish, start a separate discussion about their motives.

"Folks can watch uncut videos themselves and make up their own minds"

Only if they're willing to at least do a web search to get started!
But we knew since more than 8 years ago that Russia's hand would be forced when it comes to Ukraine. You can't say the same about Poland or any other country in the EU for that matter.
Extending Ruby with Rust
The Prospects for War with China
I only really remember Snow Leopard heh.
Russia's government officials have vaguely threatened nuclear war against multiple European countries this year alone. NATO is standing together for now, but some major political parties in key NATO members have connections to Russia.

Russia also loudly denied any plans to invade Ukraine until they rolled across the border. And they've been repeatedly caught committing barbaric atrocities against civilians in occupied territories.

So if the Poles want to sign up for military training, then more power to them. Being willing to defend your loved ones and your country is a noble endeavor. You don't even need a specific reason. And if the Poles want the ability to defend themselves without being utterly reliant on their NATO allies, that's their right.
Well I stand corrected. How do people like this even exist. What's the deal here, false flag or useful idiots?
Most notable bug I've experienced recently is PDF highlighting would make you jump to the previous highlight. It was so painful for so long. But 13.0 seems to have fixed it.

You pay good developers for the lines of code they do not write.
But this is pseudocode. For all you know, it could be implemented in a language whose integers are arbitrary precision, in which case it is perfectly correct and appropriate.
Name one renowned entrepreneur with all successful ventures.

Most entrepreneurs run experiments that are unsuccessful and end up pulling the plug.
After 2008, I read a story about the first (and only) person to buy a home in a half-built neighborhood. He was fully moved in before the crash. There were abandoned construction sites and empty home there when the developer went bankrupt. He mowed the yards all around him to keep the wildlife away from his home. He was in despair, understanding he could not sell him home to anyone. I assume someone acquired the neighborhood a few years later and completed the project, but it must have been 5 years before any developer started resuming construction at a minimum.
Invasion is such a dirty word, maybe they "free" some countries from EU.
No easter eggs in Bike yet... though I should add something someday. At the moment just trying to get features in to make it a good place to work and think.
The article addresses this.

There are currently more new homes under construction in the US than at any other time in history.
I should add that this was in a country in the middle of Europe. Makes it a bit more random than if it happened in the states, I believe.
Australia has the most installed solar capacity per capita in the world, and has installed nearly 4GW of solar in the last 12 months alone. They're also making strong moves on battery storage

They started behind the curve, but they're moving quickly, relatively at least

Where do you draw the line, then? There are lots of people I know that are fully remote employees. They love travelling, so they'll spend about 2 months in a particular locale, making about 3 trips a year.

Note the purpose of the trip is exactly the same as a tourist: they want to explore a foreign country, take in the sights, meet people, etc. There is literally 0 difference from this, and the one time I had an ill-timed week long trip to Cancun right before a big deadline so I ended up working most of the trip, than the length of stay.

The only lever that governments can really use to differentiate between this and most tourism is different visas based on the length of stay, unless they want to decimate their tourism industries.
Well, now you've posted about it here, so maybe someone will get curious?

Of course, this is why markets where everyone is forced to sell into a single pool don't work. If you let them sign a PPA for baseload electricity with a consumer who values that certainty (and there are many) for the whole year at 10c/kWh then there is no issue.
I'd like to see what emacs/org mode is doing ... is there a link to documentation, of demo video somewhere?

XTDB Core2 looks very interesting. I've worked a lot with Arrow, which makes it extra appealing.
> language whose integers are arbitrary precision

I’m not sure what this could mean. Could you please share some examples?
Shouldn't they list them by revenue? That way, the brands most likely to be familiar to any given consumer would be easiest to spot. General Mills has many reasons to prefer that people don't form their own independent associations and opinions on their overall business, but these also boil down to growth, revenue and profit. The design of their website reflects this perfectly.

There are many ways to be dishonest and there is great value in studying them. Humanity's progress depends on learning from the evil that is done. This is essentially like building a muscle; strain is required.

I live in the south and if anything I'm glad that the fucking summer is finally over. I had SAD in spring because of my allergies and because I know that the heat is coming though.
SAD is one of those things where I've read articles and research from what I think are at least semi trustworthy sources both swearing that it is a real thing and that it is not a real thing.

Anecdotally it seems like a scam to try and sell you overpriced LED lights, but the more you google the more you find some people swear it affects them, even though I've never felt the difference. This together with the fact that I was born and grew up in a place with ~3050 average annual sunlight hours per year, as well as lived in places with ~1500 for the past 5 years without any perceived difference in mood.
Yea, when I was a teenager I had a key to my high school chemistry lab, and would go do experiments on my liquid mercury resonance reactor in the weekend.

How wild is that?! Can’t imagine it happening today
Agreed. We can do shitty shortsighted things for money, but foreign money is "dirty"!?
With wind and solar we apparently only need 3 days of storage. For median household thats about 3x29kwh. It costs 87kwh*150$/kwh=13,050$ to produce such battery (tho sell it at about 5x markup). Given property prices and how much it costs to upgrade grid, small residential batteries is no brainer.
You can sign anything with gpg - or layer on OTR - but it's not baked in AFAIK.
This seems to big missing a major option:
* Connect your solar to the grid, but also to a local battery. Charge the battery with excess solar until battery is full, then sell/donate excess.

This has really started to become a viable option with solar panel prices being so low and battery prices (particularly lithium iron phosphate) dropping significantly in the last few years.

Unless this isn't a legal method anywhere in the EU, but I highly doubt that.
This answer isn't particularly helpful for a lot of people, but I live in ski towns for the winters.

It's fairly frequent that I'll be skiing in full sun above the clouds, which is an excellent source of Vitimin D. When coupled with endorphine release from exercise it's basically impossible to be anything but ecstatic on that day.

That said, the principal to combat SAD, in my experience, has been vitamin D and exercise. Try to maximize your exposure/intake of those (in whatever way is possible to you) and you'll feel good :)
Looks like you can go to Monterey at the moment and Ventura is in development.

> Leopard to Mountain Lion were the glory days of OS X stability, with Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion, and High Sierra standing out as focusing on bug fixes rather than introducing new features (and new bugs).

This is a common misconception. Major OS updates always introduce more bugs than they fix. Bertrand Serlet put up a "No New Features" keynote slide for Snow Leopard, but that was highly misleading, because Snow Leopard had many big under the hood changes, and the early versions of Snow Leopard had some nasty bugs. You can go back and look at the old Mac OS X release notes to see the descriptions of the bug fixes. What was different about Snow Leopard than today is that it received a full 2 years of nothing but bug fixes. The Snow Leopard people remember fondly was 10.6.8 v1.1 not 10.6.0, which was much buggier than its predecessor 10.5.8.

The current yearly major OS update schedule is death for quality, because there's never enough time to fix the bugs. The engineers always have to turn around and start working on the next big thing, never fix the current big then. There's no solution except more time between major updates.

The other difference between now and the past is that now Apple is immediately pushing everyone to update, whereas new major Mac OS X versions used to be paid rather than free, so there was a lot more lag, you had to go to the store and purchase new discs in order to upgrade, and a lot more users were sticking with the older versions.
Sure you can, and they will, once they feel ready for the next war to expand their empire after you've given them Ukraine.

Appeasing expansionist fascists never works. Europeans had started to forget that lesson (Western Europe more so than Eastern Europe, whose memory was much fresher), but they're rapidly relearning it.
Python3 doesn't have a maximum integer and therefore cannot experience overflow when adding two integers, for example. You can keep adding one forever.
As if two wrongs somehow make it right!

Uncontrolled re-entry of any debris likely to reach the ground without burning up is a bad idea. So is blowing anything up in orbit (creating huge hazards for other spacecraft).

These are bad ideas no matter who does them and the fact that anyone did so in the past is not an excuse for continuing the bad behavior.
Haskell has arbitary-precision integers.

Until you run out of memory, but yeah.
Take Python for example
I'm sure there are "reasons" why the HMACs are layered, the question is, does using HMACs actually add useful security properties here, or is this layered HMAC really just a way to generate a cryptographically secure id? If the latter, then can't you just generate that directly rather than needing to gather all of the right information and HMAC it in just the right way?

Sure an actor is basically a user, there's usually an "instance actor" though too that does some other things but I don't think having one is required. Every actor has a private key but it's kept on the server, it's basically an implementation detail.

Take a look at global coal consumption (almost entirely driven by China, the world's leading manufacturer of solar panels and a leading adopter of wind power) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Coal_Consumption.sv... - and it's at record highs again this year.

Look at what happened in last ~20-30 years during which time the "green" movement was insisting that nuclear is too late, too costly, and renewables are the better solution to climate change, and that coal can not possibly compete with renewables and coal is dead and coal infrastructure are stranded assets.

The reality of the situation is that renewables can't even keep up, let alone reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, that coal is still one of the cheapest ways to generate power. And after China we still have half the world's population hasn't even started its energy consumption S-curve.

The people who thought fossil fuels were done for and renewables would just magically kill them and solve the problem -- with no need to look at serious investment in nuclear and hydro and real carbon pricing -- were lied to by fossil-fuel backed "green" propaganda.
Start on sleep training as soon as you can. Get on a feeding routine as soon as you can.

It will all be okay. The baby is likely fine. Poop comes in a lot of weird colors.
It is better to have an official instance just like you have official websites. It means that accounts on this instance are official, that you can take their words as official statement.

Having one big instance for every EU citizen is just political centralisation and is not a lot better than the economical one done by Twitter.

We have to unlearn that "everything centralized is good and the only way to go"
Not equivalent to the OP's situation though. If the question were framed in the same context it would read more like: would you quit a $140k developer job that requires 12 hours a day for a job that pays the same, but has you answering the phone for 8 hours a day in a Google Support call center, helping people reset their gmail password 100 times a day?

In that case yes. I could use that 33% reduction in consumed time to work freelance developer jobs that won't endanger my livelihood if I decide to quit. If anything I would be angry at the factory workers who stay for the same pay since there are better job alternatives that could be used as bargaining chips.
The important aspect here is that it previously criticised for shifting resources from a career military.

A 300k active service military would be of course nothing to scoff at, especially with a lot of long range weapons.

But what we see in Ukraine is they had biggest army in Europe, and they also wanted to go mostly professional, but their core force, the most well trained soldier took an enormous hit, and is melting away.

Soldiers whom they spent years preparing are still humans, and are dying to artillery, air strikes, and zerg rushes of Russian "disposables" (draftees, Wanger mercenaries, and LPR/DPR levy.) These highly trained soldiers are not trading their lives meaningfully when they sit in trenches, and can't attack because the frontline is so stretched out, and manpower is drained for menial tasks.

This is all shows that you can't fight something like Russia with professional army only if you are a country of only 44m people.

A degree of differentiation in between career warriors who will spend a decade or more in the military vs. somebody who will go for a 2-3 year contract, and reservists with minimal training is absolutely essential.

Israel maintains a 1 to 3 split in between professional soldiers, and the good part of their reserve (people who regularly train, fit, and had good scores in tests.) The ratio is way bigger on the paper though.

Honestly the major upgrade I would have loved to have seen was some kind of multi-threading for better performance on modern machines. Anyone who has played Dwarf Fortress with custom graphic tile sets has already played DF with good enough graphics. These graphics are good but what makes a game good isn’t the graphics.

If you're going to imitate say, Buzz Aldrin, wouldn't card-based verification require that you steal Buzz Aldrin's credit card, specifically?

Neither a random stolen card nor a prepaid card are going to work for verification in that scenario.

That makes the problem way harder.

No one pushes for anything agressive in Poland - the only narrative is that we and baltics should be ready to defend ourselves.
My wife and I both get depressive around winter. I'm not sure that it is bad enough to qualify as SAD per se, but it sucks, and I always approach winter with a little bit of apprehension.

If I had my druthers I would have 2 weeks of heavy snow around Christmas and then back to spring, alas, the universe has not yet conformed to my will.

Anyway, I read this article a while back about stringing up a bunch of extra lights and how the extra light seems to ease the winter blues. I may try it out this year. Maybe worth a shot?

My partner just lost her mother to alcoholism. Lockdown absolutely did a number on her. Being stuck alone and isolated made it impossible to keep her addiction in check. Who can say what might have happened otherwise, but this news is not surprising to me.

The end of alcoholism this way can be drawn out as the body fails, it is a terrible thing to behold. I expect there will be a 'bump' in deaths of this kind around the world as those who did irreparable damage to their bodies meet their end. The US may hit it sooner due to the complications of obtaining healthcare. Here in the UK we had several trips to the hospital over the last 2 years as her organs failed and were picked up again, with stays of weeks at a time.
This means that the instead of fixed width integer types that have a finite maximum due to being 32-bit or 64-bit etc…, the language could use an integer type that can grow to be as many bytes as is needed to store the number. This is called a BigInt in JavaScript for instance.

This project is from 2019. The tools to do this are now more widely available and the realism has advanced considerably since then. This project was an early example that illustrated to a wide audience that audio and video are no longer reliable sources of truth. By comparison, the techniques used in Forrest Gump (1994) look crude.

Systemwide OCR is the last feature I remember being excited about in a decade, of the top of my head.

But it’s something I could use a third party software for and comes with a few annoyances, like, sometimes I just want to drag an image, not select text.

Recently, I fell macOS releases take away more than they give. Either by quality of life (allow terminal.app to access your hard drive), poor UX and aesthetic decisions or downright feature removal.

Ventura, for instance, removes Preview’s ability to render PostScript files, and suddenly the man2pdf bash alias I’ve been using for 20 years is broken.

Meh big companies run cringe ads... Yes, I have a Quest and have had fun with friends over. Multiple Quests would be even more fun, space provided. You can talk and use the device at the same time. Much like you can play chess, PlayStation, etc and talk.
