How did you do that? Were you also able to replicate the small popups that open when you press `m`, `g`, etc.?
Personally I find it faster to use Siri for alarms, timers, and particularly reminders, than to use the apps directly. Though I don’t actually say Hey Siri, since I always invoke Siri by holding down the button (might be an outdated habit, but Hey Siri used to be pretty unreliable). And even today, my reminder messages get mangled to unrecognizability at least half of the time.

That when the goodwill of said company runs out, there is very little incentive for them to maintain the service (other than trying to monetize it).

Most likely ever since index funds existed active traders hated them.

Here is an article from 2010: "Index Funds are distorting the markets"

> Index funds are creating disturbing conditions in a variety of asset classes, including emerging markets, small stocks, and commodities.
But solar did not get cheap overnight by some miracle. It got cheap because people iterated on it. Many decades.

Many decades ago people stopped iterating on nuclear. There is no law of nature that says nuclear can't get cheaper by a factor of 100. It's just technology.

As for safety, I personally trust the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission). If they say something it's safe, I'll take them at their word. There's no need for any pinky promise on the side of the industry.

If you can find any source that claims the NRC are lax, I'd like to see that. Everywhere I looked I saw the opposite complaint, that they are unreasonably strict. I'm personally ok with them being too conservative. I looked at the documents related to the safety approval of NuScale's SMR [1], and they seem competent to me.

> The literal point of the article is that too many people dollar cost averaging is why we have a bubble

Yes, I know. I've been hearing Burry make rumblings on this since 2019.

But if Burry is wrong and there is no bubble (with no eventual popping), then by sitting on the sidelines waiting for the (never-to-come pop) you're costing yourself returns:

Two big, vanilla instances are https://mastodon.social and https://mas.to. Unfortunately they've both been struggling to keep up with demand lately. If you're paralyzed by choice, I'd say just go for one of those if / when they're accepting new users.

I think Mastodon would get more signups if interested people were just pointed at like ten working, non-specialized, non-tiny instances, rather than being confronted with hundreds of weird / non-working options. I realize this feels a bit contrary to the goals of federation, but the current situation seems to be causing a lot of potential users to retreat in annoyance and confusion.

That last point does pull on the heart strings. I'd never heard that argument in support of daylight-saving time. "Think of the children, walking to school in the dark winter mornings.." Well, they could start school an hour later during the winter.
>I think politicians are entitled to contrast what they’ve done to what their political opponents would do.

I’ll be blunt—I absolutely hate this mentality.

No, politicians (or anyone for that matter) are not entitled to contrast what they’ve vs. what their opponents *would* have done, unless they happen to be mind readers or time travelers.

If you’re fortunate enough to get elected, you’re in the hot seat. The guy (or gal) you beat, they don’t get to make the decisions. You do. You don’t get to win, make the wrong decision, and then say, “oh well the other guy would have done it way worse”.
There is no free lunch. Somebody has to pay electricity bills and spend resources (time) on administration.

But you have a choice: so you trust the dude in rural Canada who pays the server bills with his harvest earnings, or you agree with monetization T&C by giving up your privacy to ads corporation, or you pay a hosting company who manages your instance on VPS, or you setup your own instance, or you participate in coop scheme where you share instance with some common interest group, or you find some rich and trusted philanthropist. Otherwise the owner can't sustain the operations and may need to shut down one day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33120136)
Why is 256 == 0 computer friendly and 251 == 0 reduction math friendly? Other than modulus bias, that initial assertion isn't clear to me. I mean, you can say "well, 251 isn't 2^N" which is abundantly obvious, but why does that matter? Is it because you can't create a bit polynomial for a non-power-of-two reduction?

First, an ambush is not a traditional attacker role. The ambusher has the pre-prepared position and is leveraging an intelligence advantage.

A counter attack similarly isn't assaulting a prepared position.

Otherwise this is an ignorant view. Attackers can have advantages because of initiative. They can pick their place, time, and methods, find the weakest point, etc.

They can also choose to not attack at all. Which they do all the time. The number a times attackers have been repelled and destroyed despite possessing the initiative is innumerable.

Assaulting a prepared defensive position in it's strength is widely acknowledged to be a really stupid idea and you don't do it unless your other options are worse.
I love Bike so much on my Mac. It’s light and nimble in a way that OmniOutliner never was, and makes me want to use it. I’m a very happy customer!

> This is simply how Apple does things. They provide software support for ~10 years and then they drop it.

Monterey was released in 2021 and dropped support for my 2014 MacBook Pro, so that's only 7 years.

It's fair to say that you can continue to run macOS N-1 and N-2, which would add years of life, but the author of the linked article is trying to argue that you're not safe unless you're running the latest major version.
then it wasn't overpriced no? Overpriced means that you can get it for cheaper.
Expanding on this,a very nice property of Galois Counter Mode (GCM) for AES is that encrypting one block does not require the previous block to be encrypted, like in AES-CBC.

This means that AES-GCM can take advantage of data parallelism and there are big speedups in threaded and pipelined CPUs.

In short, you can get big latency and throughout gains by using AES-GCM over AES-CBC.
Backup codes can be generated at setup and displayed to the user (and never displayed again) which can log you in so you can reset your MFA device.

Google does this.
The name seems like ridiculous marketing to me. Kind of like clickbait.

I think more accurate would just be something like "silent work partners".

It's also bizarre that people seem to think that having trouble concentrating for a significant period of time on something tedious means you have ADHD. It's not at all abnormal to struggle with this at times. It's really more extreme cases that should be considered ADHD.
Before we go down the road of zero anonymity: When there’s no monetary cost to sending out and receiving information, regardless of the source and size then it shouldn’t be surprising that the noise to content ratio is high, with bad actors being the ones who benefit the most.

Life isn’t always fair.
I did about 30 interviews last time I was job hunting. It wasn't all at once, I would interview in waves: at most 3 final interviews a week. Doing that along with a full time job is definitely tricky, but with virtual interviews its manageable to stuff it in to your schedule.

There are a few reasons why I did this:

* Unless you have a strong connection or are industry (semi) famous, you're gonna get a _lot_ of rejections from most companies. Interviews aren't a very good way of assessing suitability for a job. You might get the wrong folks, interviewer or you might be having a bad day. Generally a single interviewer can tank the candidate with a thumbs down.

* The _only_ way to negotiate is with another offer in hand. This is just industry policy. Recruiters will tell you to your face that they are powerless to change the offer unless you give them a competing offer. Under these circumstances, you're forced to get as many offers as you can, and then play them against one another.
It might be a good way to run an office. Define pomodoro blocks in which you cannot interrupt your coworkers. No slacks, texts, phone calls, or conversations until the cycle ends.
This isn't really true in the sense you think it is because the corollary of the marginal cost of software being close to zero is that someone only needs to code a quality opensource competitor once to materially impair the value of some software.

What is really driving how well programmers are getting paid is several companies (google, meta, microsoft, apple, et al) managed to get big enough (probably temporarily) to gain vastly outsized profits from the mechanism you outlined above and they all had a policy of drastically overpaying for talent in order to keep said talent from going to a startup that creates the next idea that destroys their outsized profit machine. This was supercharged by way too low interest rates driving private equity valuations on companies that have no hope of actually achieving profits commensurate with their valuations also desperately overpaying for talent in the hopes that they can create the next big thing fast enough to catch up to their valuations. They weren't that worried about their burn rates because the low interest rates made it easy to raise more at very favorable terms at a higher valuation so everyone was happy.

The latter trend is coming to a hard stop right now with higher interest rates (likely higher and for longer than most people think) and the former is also starting to change, so expect broad material weakness in programming salaries going forward.

So, my short answer is: I am absolutely in love with my Luminette 3[^1]. I use it every day in the morning.

>Were you also able to replicate the small popups that open when you press `m`, `g`, etc.?

Yes, although 'm' has a totally different meaning in vim (placing a mark), so there is no popup for that. But it works where there are actually sensible choices, even for marks it works and shows you every available one, which is pretty cool

The i-line of products was already well known by the general public at the time to be synonymous with Apple. iTunes, iPod, iPhone ... those were normal english words prefixed with an "i". People wonder why Apple didn't call their watch the iWatch. This is a much different thing with "mastrodon". It's not a word people are familiar with, has enough syllables to sound funny, and gets combined with other nonsense words people aren't familiar with. Compare that with something like youtube subscribers, posters, tweets, etc. which are all basic words. Mastrodon's situation is that it reeks of being engineer designed. That's not a good thing if your goal is to reach a mainstream audience.

Great idea for sharing and connecting. Thank you!

My little corner of the Internet now contains a streaming music site: Now Wave Radio. I realized I was relying more and more on algorithms and “cold” connections to music and discovery. So reaching back into bands and sounds of some of my ‘80s New Wave favorites, started on a journey of new band discovery and connection via music blogs, Bandcamp, Allmusic, and yes - even iTunes/Music.

Some months, frission experiences, band connections, and even close friend contributions later, we’re having a blast running the station, developing a web presence, exploring app development, discovering music, and making friends. I found sites like Soma FM with a similar mission, met band members while recently visiting a music festival and going back out to local performances and even left my 25+ year corporate world employment to join a local art collective/radio station in my hometown of Seattle to learn about broadcasting technology and IT in a completely different and supportive environment.

I encourage you to find your passion and hobbies and make a place for them. Great things can and will follow!

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I've never used mastodon, but I expect part of the "federated" bit means being able to "follow" users from other Mastodon instances, including EU Voice. So you'd need just one account on a Mastodon instances to follow every EU government/institution announcements on EU Voice.
If not on Mastodon, RSS feeds still exist.
Your analysis is flawed. The U.S. will not risk a nuclear war over an island it doesn't even recognize as an independent state and has no security treaties with.

What Biden says about intervening is just bluff. And China knows this.

And then there's the prospect of the Taiwanese not even WANTING to fight their own brethren. Sure, they want to remain independent if they can, but if China decides to invade their armed forces will simply throw away their arms and go home. Do we want our soldiers to lose their lives for a people that hasn't even demonstrated their will to fight for their independence? Fuck that!

China is attempting to put its tentacles everywhere, making it extremely costly for Western nations to completely decouple from China economically.

For example: Apple is so deep in bed with China that if an invasion were to occur the company would simply go bankrupt. Bankrupt! We're talking about a company with a market valuation of almost $2 trillion!! It would be very hard for the Biden Administration to make that choice. And that's just one U.S. company. There are probably dozens like them in the same boat.

From what I gather Volkswagen would face an existential threat if it were banned from selling its cars in China. No way, the Germans would allow that, no matter what the U.S. says.

No, there will not be a nuclear war over Taiwan. Merely a few pinpricks in terms of sanctions.
I think part of that reluctance to just tear into it yourself, or if not you then any number of ordinary people you know equivalent to yourself (ie, not an electronics repair tech by trade, anf if not you then your brother, wife, kid, co-worker, etc), is actively created by companies that sell stuff.

And if you're a bit too brave and self determinant, and overcome the soft pressure like the warranty sticker or the manual or peer pressure, then there is always the insurance based fear of liability for burning down a house and killing someone (by doing a dead simple repair on a blender or something) to keep you in line.

"Was saving that $30 worth killing someone?" Well in reality there is no such question and so attempting the repair is not answring "yes" to it. But for most people it's a real factor keeping them afraid to touch anything.

I'm saying, your reluctance isn't likely really just your own natural reluctance, it's pretty much instilled and reinforced in a bunch of indirect deniable ways.

Only a few years ago it was perfectly normal for almost anyone to do all kinds of things that are practically unthinkable to people from one or two generations later. The human animal didn't actually change that much to create such different behavior, so the difference must be explained some other way.

There was a thread on Reddit recently asking what leisure time was like for people before radio, TV, and the Internet. Someone mentioned a memoir they'd read from the early 1900s and the part that stuck with them was how social everyone was.

After work, people would go to friends houses, putter around town and catch up with neighbors, visit shops where they knew everyone, etc.

I can't but think that so many of the malaises that people suffer today, which we ascribe as individual psychological problems, are really just a result of how profoundly lonely and isolating media consumption is. (The irony of posting this on the Internet is not lost on me.)

We are a tribal species. We need the company of others in our physical environment in order to feel safe and at home. Obviously, some amount of solitude is important too, but for a communal species like Homo sapiens, being alone or around strangers most of the day is the environmental equivalent of being in a desert with no shade.
Wow, thank you for sharing this. Reddit was indeed just like HN.

Yes, timers and alarms are much easier with Siri. I also use it to set reminders and to add items to a grocery list. I use Siri to tell a HomePod to play various songs and artists while I’m doing other things in the house and to also to call person “X”. I sometimes ask Siri what the temperature is outside or if rain is forecast in the next N hours. We have some lights that are automated but that we can ask Siri to turn on or off as needed.

A lot of what makes Siri easier than the various apps is easier input and multitasking. Input can be simpler as some apps can have fiddle controls for adding very precise values. I am often doing something else while using Siri to do something. My phone may not be in my hard or even in the same room.
>> That's really the point of the comic. Wherever we go, there we are. It's still just us in a new place.

That feels more like an association fallacy than anything else. Usenix is from Berkeley so it’s inevitable that the two largest companies in the Bay Area that have an interest in the kind of content that is being organized would be funding it. This observation might hold weight if this weren’t the norm for websites or if privacy were a focus for this organization. I agree they probably should be doing that as leaders and to show a way forward for legislators, but I’m also not going to judge them harshly for focusing on their primary mission.
As someone who also has social anxiety, I suspect that it would be very difficult for us at first but if we pushed through that, it would not just help us be more productive, but also help with our social anxiety.
Analysts of actual WWI battles by experts. Don’t get me wrong early in the war attacking in daylight over no man’s land was ruinous, but tactics evolved and eventually favored the attack and counter attack.

Not that post apocalyptic battles will involve artillery and tanks, but it is still informative.
