From the outside, Gitlab seems to have solved this with a medium-sized org with all remote, and it sounds like a dream remote workplace.

Async communication, full transparency, 90-day retention in slack which forces decisions into documentation if it's important, issues/threads for discussions, and handbook for SOPs [1]

Anyone have experience with this directly that can speak to if this works in practice?

Or is Gitlab just really good at marketing their methodology as a tool to sell more subscriptions?

You say to somebody downthread "remind me never to work with you". I would find it difficult to work with someone as hyper sensitive -- on other people's behalf, yet! -- as you seem to be in this thread.

We really need better journalism, this entire claim is based on another article where he says he has been talking to Moxie. They at least linked it, but you would expect a journalist to add his actual quote to the story. Here is the section from the linked article where they came up with the idea that he claimed signal was going to work with him.

He went on to praise Signal, the encrypted chat app that is
run as a non-profit. He said he had spoken with its
creator, Moxie Marlinspike, who is now “potentially willing
to help out” with encrypting Twitter DMs.

“Ironically, Moxie Marlinspike worked at Twitter and
actually wanted to do encrypted DMs several years ago,
[but] was denied that and then went and created Signal,”
Musk said. (For those curious, The Wall Street Journal has
a writeup from 2015 detailing Marlinspike’s time at
Twitter.)
Well, he can buy most of the stuff he makes. So he could just make videos buying the stuff from Amazon...
But that's not what he does.
CGAL is a seminal library, but I agree with the parent's criticism of "fragmented" - for instance, the various sub-libraries have different licenses (GPL, LGPL, others), which may lead to accidental mis-use.

When I needed a few geometric functions back ~2005, I ended up implementing them myself to avoid a huge dependency on CGAL (the library back then was already bigger than my application) and the licensing implications.

As a counter-balance: I have 3 children, twins who are 3 (and I am the twin parent) and a 1 year old. My wife is still in recovery and on partial (she works 20 hours / week right now) disability from the birth of our youngest.

I've reduced my hobbies down to: 1) reading before I fall asleep at night, 2) exercising during my lunch hour on work days. That's it. I managed to change jobs earlier this year but it was challenging and it remains a challenge to remain ahead with my current role due to my family obligations.

My situation is somewhat unique but is certainly not an outlier.
How do you get around the performance hit of having to buffer from disk/network -> CPU -> RAM -> GPU and back or whatever?

I've had the inverse happen to me, not playing optimally upsetting someone. Playing the DC superhero deck-building game at a card shop with some friends and a stranger asked to join, he already knew how to play.

Well I didn't stop another player from getting one of the final Power Ring cards and he flipped the F!&%$ out. "How could you not block her! She's guaranteed to win on her next turn now! You suck at this game!" Bro, I'm just trying to power up my batman. It's not a very competitive game.

Needless to say we asked him not to join in our next round, "that's fine, I don't want to play with a bunch of noobs."

Yep, but I feel like we're past the event horizon and all we can do for now is enjoy the spaghettification. It already feels like the internet isn't real anymore, Google has become unusable for real search except to find user reviews on reddit or other consumer things, it says it has a billion results but stops at page 40 and everything it shows is from big news sites who all write the same way, the comments on reddit all look the same and if you put an ip address collector in a link in any political sub like r/politics or r/news most clicks on your link will come from AWS servers, Youtube doesn't show any counter culture videos and you have to dig hard to even find videos from people you're subbed to, etc. Now you have politicians supporting this censorship, AI advanced enough to converse with you and deceive you without you realizing it, and tech leaders willing to play ball, so yeah nothing we can do anymore except for taking it.

I still remember when comformist was an insult, now people outscream each other to show who's more of a comformist.

Not really because if you're using Obsidian you can just copy paste images and it will handle the syntax and moving the asset into the correct location anyway. But is taking an hour to read through a markdown cheatsheet really the worst thing in the world if what you end up with is far more useful and maintainable documentation? Seems like a pretty big pay off for not a lot of staff training.

I’m a Windows user, and I can confirm. My HP ProBook 445 G8 laptop doesn’t support any of the proper S1-S3 sleep states.

Luckily, I discovered that before any hardware has failed due to overheating, by reading the output of `powercfg /availablesleepstates` console command. To workaround, I have set up the OS to hibernate when the lid is closed, instead of going to sleep.

For the purposes of keeping water, it wouldn’t be that useful.

The Klamath is far from major population centers, and is not currently part of any long-distance water transfer. (It’s been proposed but has actually been opposed by not only the local fisheries industry but by California.)

Also I think the grandparent is talking more about power generation; there needs to be a baseline level of water to generate power, and they already don’t generate a whole lot. Holding back water also means it isn’t getting used for power generation.
> isn't it just faster to do a web search or organized bookmarks

As someone who has a lot of browser tabs, unfortunately no. It's often near impossible to remember the magic query that yielded a particular site as a result and the problem with bookmarks is the overhead that comes with organizing them — most tabs sit in an uncanny valley between long-term usefulness and disposability which would require frequent clean up passes through bookmarks to keep one's bookmarks in a reasonable state.

And as noted by others, these tabs are typically organized by both windows (e.g. one window for apple platform dev stuff, one for android dev, one for shopping, etc) as well as tab groups within those windows.

NB, no, you don't have to use stdin/stdout, but rather you have the option to use those.

What pbcopy/pbpaste, xclip, and the Termux commands offer is an alternative to pasting via mouse actions.

You can still interact with mouse-based controls. I'll typically do that, for example, when case-normalising titles using a shell utility I'd created.

Since 'xc' will overwrite the clipboard if invoked in the same pipeline, this command fails to deliver expected results:

xp | titlecase | xc

Instead, I can paste in some ALL CAPS TITLE, say:

echo 'ALL CAPS TITLE' | titlecase | xc # Where 'ALL CAPS TITLE' has been pasted via mouse

Running 'xp' alone, we see the result:

$ xp
All Caps Title

So, again, you seem not to understand either the problem space or the available tools.

I think it's Zeitgeist.

I've enjoyed reading/watching his posts as well, most recently for garage storage as I just moved into an empty one. What I found refreshing is that he is not snobbish about materials and has no qualms about using 2x4 pine or old pallets, as long as they accomplish the job in a desired way with suitable margins. Very engineer-like indeed :-)

As a result I was inspired to calculate out forces/stresses for a 1x2 pine structure, driven by the crazy lumber price inflation, and now have a 1x2 scrap wood rack, a 1x2 free-standing shelf, a 1x2 wall-attached shelves...
> I wouldn't care about spending time, just feed, clean and transport, not that much worse than pets burdenwise

This stuck out to me. I'm not sure if you're serious, but I'll bite.

Kids need more than pets. They're people, not a puppy. You can't just leave them to figure it out on their own, nor can you lock them in a box with a tablet and some Cheerios, although I'm sure most parents have wished they could from time to time.

They're still pretty useless after 1 as well. Barely walking, still not talking, can't read or write, definitely can't call up and order a pizza.

What will they eat? Good home cooked meals, or out of a box? There's no kiddie-kibble...

Who will clean up the mess and spills from that meal? Cleaning with kids around is like brushing your teeth while you eat an Oreo. There's about a 6 foot blast radius to every snack. Do you just let the place get filthy?

Who will help wipe their butt for that first five years? Lots of kids don't potty train until 3-4. Some are still having accidents after that. Now they need a shower too. And how's your laundry pile looking?

What if your kid has health problems? An appointment a week, maybe more? The appointment is 30 minutes away. An hour for the appointment. How's that day looking?

I could ramble on, but having little people around is absolutely time consuming.
Absolutely! 100%, twice over. What a thing is is real. What a thing could be is limited only by one's imagination, and my imagination with regard to crypto has been burned to the tune of $1.7 trillion as of May, 2022[0].

PDF is meant as an output format.

Fonts might or might not be embedded.

Paragraphs might be split into chunks, words, characters or simply outlines.

There’s no typesetting config. Nothing about margins, spacing, hyphenation, etc.

But then again, sometimes there is. The point is that it’s an output format.

My wife's and my B12 levels (shown by lab tests) were in the toilet after having a 2+ week covid infection. No energy, memory wasn't great. After getting a B12 injection, our energy levels are back to normal and memory is mostly recovered and I feel optimistic it will continue. Some of the memory function is probably just retraining myself to function how I was after having my body deprived of an essential vitamin.

May not be the case for everyone, but it can't hurt to run it by your doctor and ask what they think about checking the most usual suspects (B12, D levels, Thyroid, Iron [in women and vegans/vegetarians]), etc. B12 is important for many functions in your body, including immune response.

I still take high potency B12 (Methylcobalamin) sublingually every morning. It's water soluble, so you'll expel whatever you don't use.

> The real distinction has nothing to do with how pleasant life is but the fundamental stability of society. For nearly all of human history since agriculture there has been a ruling class which survives through the exploitation of the labor class, but for most of the history there was an asymmetric dependance between ruling classes and labor class: ruling classes where absolutely dependent on labor class, but the inverse was not true.

I don't think this is accurate. We are much less likely to suffer famine than they were (also epidemics, despite recent events). We are much less likely to suffer war. We are much less likely to suffer a neighboring warlord taking our stuff, including the food we need for the winter. And so on.

Viewed from a high enough level, the society may have been stable. Stability wasn't really a characteristic of life at the individual or family level, though.
Why heat your house when the sun does that already?
The answer is generally "move" unfortunately. Surge pricing for things like club and concert nights runs orders of magnitude higher than normal rides for the same wear and tear. These don't really happen in small towns, and in larger places it's multiple times a night nearly every night.
Augur tried this and doesn't seem to have gained a lot traction doing so. Any staking schemes that were developed were relatively easily gamed and that led to distrust in the system.

We, like traditional financial exchanges, define the contracts upfront with clear rules on how they will be settled, then follow the letter of the law very strictly when settling a market.

In general, we've found market certainty to be more important that accuracy: ie. having pre-defined rules that everyone can agree on and that are pre-set is more important than those rules being the "correct rules" (not that having correct rules isn't important).
> A space rock generally stops burning by the time it reaches about 30km altitude.

When I was around 12 years old and friend and I were camping and staring up at the stars and a meteorite took a path very close above us. I remember hearing it (almost a crackling sound) and I swear even feeling a slight heat on my face momentarily.

And then we lost sight as it went below nearby tree line.

I’ve always been curious about how close it came to us. I guess it’s possible that my memory of noise and heat isn’t accurate and something I’ve imagined in the years since, but it was a very beautiful moment.
Disagree. A ticket should be created for any change, no matter how small. It takes seconds to write a title, body and hit submit. I've seen those small ad-hoc changes cause havoc because someone forgot to escape a single quote or didn't realize tabs were necessary and replaced them with spaces.

The default for Confluence is just that, everyone commits at will. There is no structure, tons of duplication, no standards when it comes to naming, formatting, audience, etc. I'm a huge fan of markdown/plain-text solutions, only because linters can be run that force you down one happy path. I don't believe Confluence has linters at all.

Thanks. However, while SFCGAL itself is LGPL, it uses parts of CGAL, which are GPLv3+, and because of this, it - and its Rust wrapper crate sfcgal (https://mthh.github.io/sfcgal-rs/sfcgal/), are all effectively covered by GPLv3+.

Therefore, I hope someone re-implements the innards under a liberal (LGPL or Apache2 or BSD or MIT) license.
>Doing nothing?

Doing nothing would have been better than doing scientific socialism.

>I understand the worry, but what's the alternative?

Obviously the hardest question. The first and most important issue is the truth. The second most important issue is what are the limits of truth.
For me the idea of utilitarianism (and all variations on the idea of a purely rational/mathematical based morality) is an "anti truth", it isn't just false, it false and makes confident truth claims about the unknowable. Of course this an entirely negative claim, but there is one korrolary: People can be fulfilled without me understanding why and completely in despair with me not having any idea how to fix this.

I think nobody should be asking "how can I fix the world" before they have asked themselves if they are the person they think they should be. And whether there is someone there right now close to them, who could maybe really need some help.
Of course the world isn't saved by that, but is there any hope if we ignore the people closest to us in favor of vain dreams?
Nice to see there is a release date now! Wishlisted quite a while ago already, when no date was set.
Building the fastest Lua interpreter automatically

Sometimes I eat fast food. And thats fine.

Sometimes I'll spend hours making a meal. That's also fine, and personally, I find it more rewarding.

I love my fancy tools - I have a couple mills and a lathe I've converted to CnC, and also a sort of weird autorouter I put together for wood, for a specific project. (Probably going to recycle the parts, it was a good learning experience, but very limited.)

I also love doing things from first principles, or at least closer to that than letting the computer figure it out. It also makes me better with CnC - just like most things automation-related, doing it by hand illuminates a lot.

If you don't like watching his stuff, why not change the channel? There are many, many great CnC operators making video, too. No need to shit on things you don't seem to understand.

Yes, you can use <picture> to fall back to JPEG/PNG/WebP.
Yes, been there, done that a number of times.

The first thing you have to do is make sure your finances are stable. That means make and follow a family budget, cut what is unnecessary, bank everything you can, and build 3-6 months of living expenses.

If you aren't willing or able do that as a family, you are not ready to go out on your own.

BUT during that time, you're not sitting still. You should be sketching out ideas, talking to prospective customers, getting feedback, and adjusting as you go. You may even be able to build UIs or potentially an MVP, do it. You're still in a VERY low risk stage.

If you aren't willing or able do that as an entrepreneur, you are not ready to go out on your own.

If you can accomplish BOTH of the above, you should have: a better conceived idea with real feedback, a list of prospective customers, a family on board with what you're doing, and the savings to give it a shot.

THEN you're ready.
