I have stopped using MacOS many years ago, so I do not know if the font handling has improved meanwhile.

When I was still using MacOS, I have not noticed anything special about its font handling. The difference in comparison with Linux or any other free OS was that MacOS included a very good set of high quality fonts, much better than those provided by default in any Linux distribution, not that it had some special font handling. Because of that, even after I have ditched MacOS, I have kept a few of its typefaces. Even today I am still using a couple of them.

On Linux, it should be possible to obtain any complex or weird font matching behavior that might be desired, by editing the fontconfig rules, which should be located in some directory like "/etc/fonts/conf.d/", but the exact place might vary between Linux distributions. However, I have never attempted to do that, beyond establishing nice defaults or replacements for the fonts that might be specified in Web pages, e.g. "serif", "sans-serif", "Arial", "Times New Roman" and so on (i.e. by editing 60-latin.conf, 60-generic.conf, 45-latin.conf, 45-generic.conf and the like).

The main method by which I have ensured that everything is displayed with beautiful typefaces on my Linux computers has been simply by uninstalling all the default fonts and installing other nicer fonts in "/usr/share/fonts/". If you omit to uninstall some ugly font, there would always be some application or Web page that might insist to use that, despite your attempts to suggest better fonts.

Many years ago, I have bought a number of beautiful typefaces from some on-line stores like Linotype, Adobe and others, and I am using mostly those on Linux. Nowadays it is much easier to replace the default fonts with better ones, because, unlike a decade ago, now there are a relatively large number of good fonts that are open-source or at least free of charge.

Meta and Amazon missed out on smartphones as a platform but both succeeded in other areas (VR headsets and Alexa). I guess it's apparent now that they both overpaid to get there.

I use my Google Nest hub to watch YouTube which shows me ads. I think Amazon should've doubled down on the Echo Show and video content delivery (they do own twitch after all). The real money for platforms like Alexa/echo is content delivery, associated ad revenue, and replacing your telephone -- not as a medium to buy more shit on Amazon. And I think all of this could've been achieved with a 10000+ person division.

> So don’t do those things its not nice

Advice like this makes the situation worse, because nice people will take your advice and not approach extremely attractive women, because they understand it is the nice thing to do, but assholes will approach extremely attractive women, because they don't care about being nice. So these women end up only being approached by bad actors.
I got past that when I was like 20. If someone asks me out now and I don’t find them attractive I’m not embarrassed in the slightest and I can graciously say no to them.

Go ahead and publish it. Anyone who thinks less of you now, for the stuff you didn't know a decade ago, is someone whose opinion you're better off not caring about anyway.
This was 20 years ago, but I can 100% not recommend dating the only person in HR and then someone else from the same ~50-person company immediately after.

I think from my perspective, this entire line of reasoning betrays a lack of empathy. It’s deeply important to many people, especially for safety.

If you unilaterally decide it’s an unworthy stage of the process, that’s likely to be very self limiting and signals quite a bit about this person’s ability to “eat their vegetables of life.”

Another perspective: would you interview someone who just sends, “I don’t do well with résumés or phone screenings. Let’s jump to the interview.” ?

Edit: to more directly answer your question, if both parties prefer that then by all means! But that’s not exactly what this thread is about.

We have been looking to replace our FE devs with a low-code tool, but haven't found any that will suit complex authentication, permissions, and global theming (per client). I expect these internal tools will mature and come out with next-gen Bubble.io type of tools in a few years.
Have you ever tried to remove a fungus from soil?

I think it would require machinery to dig up the whole field, process the soil and spit it out - which I think is no less expensive than using traditional chemical methods for binding the mercury in stable compounds.
It's not just computer tech. Obviously, advances in say molecular biology can cause much more trouble down the line.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_internal_heat_budget

[2] https://yearbook.enerdata.net/electricity/electricity-domest...

Internal heat generation is estimated by Davies and Davies (2010) to be roughly 47 Terawatt. With a surface area of 5.1 × 10 m^2, this translates to roughly 0.1 W/m^2.

CL4P-TP comment:

"The earth produces 20TW[1] of thermal energy from radioactive decay in the mantle. This is the amount of warmth that the earth generates, so it should give us a ballpark idea of how much heat we would need to remove from the earth in order to make an impact on the earth's internal temperature. To summarize the heating situation under earth's crust, the existing heat comes from two sources in ~equal parts: radioactive decay, and leftover heat from the earth's creation[1]. Lots of heat hits the earth from the sun but gets radiated back out; It doesn't really have anything to do with internal temperatures[1]."

"As far as I can tell from that wikki page: Current heat in the earth: ~50% radiation, ~50% leftover Internal heat budget: Geothermal Power Consumption + 47TW transferred from the mantle to the crust and beyond[1] - 20TW generated from radiation = Core cooling rate Core cooling rate without geothermal: 0 + 47TW - 20TW = 27TW

The world consumed 22,000 TWh in 2017[2]. That means an average power consumption of 2.5TW.

If all of that was geothermal, we'd be increasing the cooling rate of the earth's core by about 10%."

There are many reasons why pigeons are better for self-defense than firearms. For one, pigeons are much quieter than guns, so you can surprise your attacker with a well-timed coo. Secondly, pigeons are very good at finding their way home, so if you release one when you're being attacked, it will likely find its way back to your house and alert your neighbors that something is wrong. Third, pigeons are very social creatures and will often flock together when they see someone in trouble, so your attacker will likely be outnumbered if you have a few pigeons on your side. Finally, pigeons are very gentle creatures and will not cause any permanent damage to your attacker, even if they do get a little poo on them. (Written by GPT-3)
When I was an undergraduate at UCLA in the late 1960s, there was a tiny classified ad in the Daily Bruin Classifieds looking for people to participate in a study of decision making; it paid quite well, by the hour.

I called the phone number given and after a few questions over the phone was told to come to an address on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica at 1 pm Saturday afternoon.

The address was that of the RAND Corporation, which was running the Delphi Project, an inquiry into whether a group of unspecialized individuals could, as a group, make better predictions of future events than would be expected.

There were 10-15 of us in the room, all UCLA undergraduates and graduate students, and we'd be given a scenario and asked to predict what we thought would happen next, after an hour or so spent batting it back and forth between us.

I'm certain we were recorded though I don't recall cameras but in the late 60s that wasn't really even a thing to average people.

This went on every Saturday afternoon for a couple months and then it ended.

We were paid in cash at the end of each session.

I later read about the Delphi Project and learned it was funded by the CIA.

>This report deals with one aspect of RAND's continuing study of methods for improving decision making. It describes the results of an extensive set of experiments conducted at RAND during the spring and summer of 1968. The experiments were concerned with evaluating the effectiveness of the Delphi procedures for formulating group judgments.

Based on the amount of patching and such that is necessary in many packages, plus the constraint of not linking two different versions of libXYZ into your final binary, I'd expect it would be pretty hard to have a truly unified environment of multiple nixpkgs pins, at least without a facility for maintaining another big patching layer.
No, one plus one remains two.

If the purpose is to generate interesting associations, why is the output a paper? Why not a graph showing overlapping subfields worth investigating or relationships between papers via citations and shared ideas?

Is it really a surprise that people have a different reaction to machine generated scientific papers that contain a large amount of plain nonsense than they do to a machine generated piece of art?
It's also why employers prefer to hire young people over more experienced people, because the latter actually understand what's going on and might object.

Hearing their voice is important. I once matched with a women who looked intriguing, met up for coffee after texting and as soon as she started talking my overwhelming shock was "dear god, she sounds EXACTLY like my ex-wife!" That went nowhere in a hurry.
> You should think really carefully about using exceptions in situations that don’t correspond to the preceding section. One particularly common inappropriate use of exceptions is for signaling “logical errors.”

> A correct program should not do things that are undefined.

I don't see how "logical errors" and arguments of a function with undefined consequences would be really separated use cases (the author makes the example of square root of negative numbers). But I agree that exceptions are a type of meta programming that should not be intrinsic part of the logic of the program.
I literally can die happy knowing that someone else sees this as I do.

I will add that it all started with capitalism and exploration moving countless peoples around the globe to place that were not genetically suited for them. Like the African Americans and it suddenly being appreciated that their Vitamin D levels are crushed by living in places like Detroit.

Or with increased understand of what happens when the Inuit are subjected to a western diet adn how their genetics play a role. Yes, they woudl probably tell an Inuit to become vegan to protect their heart!
If they refused the work and let someone else who cared less about limiting the amount of data, things would be worse.

Also what would whistleblowing do? A lot of companies were operating in China and followed similarly privacy-hostile regulation.

Also to bring up Uighurs in this is ridiculous. Logging ips and urls has no direct correlation with being able to round people up in concentration camps. It has nothing to do with what the Uighurs ideologies were, it has something to do with who they are and the cultural differences they had with mainland China.

To try and look down your nose at an engineer who did the best they could with the position they were in with the belief that there was more that could be done is just naive.

I get that, but for me, if I don't know anything about someone besides a picture or two, I have no desire to block off an hour or two to get to meet them. Chatting instead, that I can always fit into my regular activities, exactly because it is asynchronous. And a lot of the time, even a little bit of chatting will make it clear I don't want to meet up (and/or they don't want to meet up with me!).

Don't get me wrong, I do think in-person conversation is much much better than chatting. If I happen to meet someone that I like while I'm already outside, I'd much rather talk then exchange numbers and chat, of course. But going on blind dates is really not doing it for me.

Do note that I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong, not at all! I'm just exploring this significant difference in outlook, it's interesting to me how differently people can feel about a subject. It also gives me some insight into other's behavior on dating apps that before I'd just seen as sort of rude or rushed, so I think this is an actually useful conversation.
Is it that different for men finding women attractive?

If you showed me pictures of 100 women in my dating age range, I think I’d find around 20* of them attractive on average. That was true when I was 20, 30, or now.

* - That might even be a significant over-estimation.
Do you have a story for how this works with CI? I have a few projects that use a shell.nix to provide my dev environment, then in CI I just do:

image: nixos/nix:latest

before_script:
- nix-env -f shell.nix -i -A buildInputs

This then gives me a CI environment that perfectly matches my dev environment at all times. Some similar story for devenv would be great.

Of course I'm not sure how that would work - one of the things that interests me with devenv over 'vanilla' nix is your approach to processes which doesn't map so well in the scenario I've described.

This is properly embarrassing incel-tier stuff dude, and it’s not good for you. The more you repeat it, the more you will start to believe it, and the more you will start to act in a way that telegraphs your self-image to others.

There’s nothing less attractive than a guy who—regardless of physical appearance—is unaware of the “nice guy” vibes they are projecting. You do you, but I’d wager if you get off of the internet and talk to some human beings without “trying to get a shot” you’ll be way happier.
Telegram needs to store your messages in an unencrypted manner on their own servers but hey, at least no one "else" can see any of your message over the network due to their awesome E2E support.
> Yes , and that's great. Science is about inventing ideas and testing them, it's literally about chasing wild geese.

There are an infinity of ideas we can test. The large majority of them are either obviously wrong or completely useless. The reason why researchers spend so much time embedded in a field is to enable them to come up with ideas that are more likely to be worth investigating than another idea.

And again, if the goal is to generate hypotheses then the output should be a hypothesis - not a paper that presents the hypothesis and claims to evaluate it.
I plan to, I have a check up by the end of the month anyway. I just don’t have any patience I guess.
In general, I'm not convinced in long sentences, I don't believe they deter crime nor do I believe they help criminals become productive members of society especially given the current state of prisons in most countries.
I think that locking up people for decades should only be considered when there's a very real risk of major crime (murder, sexual assault, etc.. ) if the criminal is released.
So the sympathy on my part is not only for white collar criminals, it's for the imprisoned.
Per Truth Social's S-4 filing with the SEC (p. 110):

> As further described in the section titled, “Information about TMTG,” President Trump is generally obligated to make any social media post on TruthSocial and may not make the same post on another social media site for 6 hours. Thereafter, he is free to post on any site to which he has access. Thus, TMTG has limited time to benefit from his posts and followers may not find it compelling to use TruthSocial to read his posts that quickly. In addition, he may make a post from a personal account related to political messaging, political fundraising or get-out-the-vote efforts on any social media site at any time.

Replacing the phone sounds like a very difficult task.

I use Apple TVs with the phone as a remote, but I wonder what kind of utility an Amazon device would have to provide for me to consider it over an Apple TV. And similarly for an Android user to consider an Amazon device over a Chromecast.
> Elon Musk vs the space industry

The other billionaire funded disruptive space startup has proven themselves less competent than "old space". Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin two years before SpaceX, and they've still accomplished a fat lot of nothing. Their most significant accomplishment to date is stalling ULA's Vulcan rocket for years, because they couldn't deliver engines on time. They still haven't been to orbit.

> All the conquistador really has to do is gallop in and show what is possible.

They were massively outnumbered, lost all their artillery and most of their horses. Nothing about what they did was easy, they only survived because they were better at politics than the Aztecs, and made many regional alliances. And because they got extremely lucky. It defies logic and all rational expectation that so many were able to escape Tenochtitlan with their lives. If not for their native allies, they surely never would have been heard from again.

> But when you get past that disruption phase the conquistadors often fall down.

Broken analogy. Despite their rocky start, the conquistadors would come to utterly dominated the native cultures (including their former allies.)

> Steve Jobs 2.0 (the return) vs ugly beige box PCs.

And we're all worse off for it. We, the aggregate computer consumers, have chosen a shiny prison instead of shabby freedom. Despite increased public awareness for environmental concerns, our computers have become increasingly less repairable. Apple's most significant innovation has been turning computers into fashion items that get replaced while still useful to avoid looking uncool.

> it remains to be seen if SpaceX will hold it together.

No more than the rest of the space industry, who are all still very far behind SpaceX. The whole thing may collapse if nerds ever figure out that Mars colonies aren't happening, but by all rights that realization should have come years ago.
Right wing is a wide set, with anarchist capitalists and stateist capitalists all sitting somewhere on it. He's right wing, just not the most visible type.
I worked for 20 years as a software/hardware engineer and none of that stuff exists today or made a difference. Then I became a math teacher and built an introductory Python curriculum, online Python IDE and graphics environment that I used to teach Python to about 200 kids over several years. I know for a fact it altered the path of several kids' lives, so I'd have to say that it was the most impactful things I ever built.

No worries. A hint about why your comments (most likely) got flagged on the other thread: you pointed at your own competing tool, without disclosing that you develop it, and also without giving any reason to check it out. This space is friendly to people starting new things, so it will actually work better to be upfront and say its yours. People will appreciate the chance to get information from you directly, since obviously you know the tool best, as long as you treat them as peers.

The technical word for this is chelation / chelating. I've seen it used with respect to iron, lead, mercury and cadmium. When a substance can render one inert it generally does with the others as well.

There are a number of pltants, roots, and fungi that do this. I was looking into this yesterday with respect to curcuma, as the region i am currently visiting is known to be contaminated with lead and everyone likes to eat fish from the nearby river. I came across this article which shows solid evidence that curcuma can also remove lead accumulation from the bodies of mammals. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31489882/
