When Amazon fresh started out they had these insulated reusable heavy dusty bagsYou were supposed to return the bag with your next order. Eventually they stopped using the heavy duty insulated bags and just used cardboard with the small insulated bubble wrap inside. A similar delivery service would collect the bubble wrap but wouldn’t take the boxes. I often had clean boxes I wish they have taken also. I currently use a service that drops all the food off in a big metal box we leave on the porch: nothing to exchange or dispose of. I like this last arrangement the best, but I understand why that doesn’t scale very well and isn’t practiced by all services delivering perishable goods.

The big thing is not to cut them off - that's likely part of it - but to replace the problematic habit.

I genuinely don’t see how your first sentence can be reconciled with the latter two paragraphs.
All the issues mentioned are related to the usage of shitty frameworks and build tools. The problem is not caused by a single regex; the real issue is likely that a regex is being created too many times in a loop instead of being created once and re-used. Related to neglected time complexity.

> Config parsing as a whole takes 4.3 seconds

WTF! If parsing a config file takes more than 20 milliseconds, you've got some serious issues with your project... There is no excuse. Even if your project is highly complex and feature-rich, you can just break it up into smaller sub-projects.

This article doesn't give any useful info because the project it's analyzing is just so bad.

It's like watching a turtle complete a 100-meter race and then taking away the lesson that crawling on one's stomach isn't a great strategy for a human to win the 100-meter race at the Olympics. Duh!

The whole project is a giant flaming pile of garbage. There is no interesting lesson to learn from it. Functions named 'monkeys' or 'perItem' or 'strongRound'?... Class named 'ConditionalRuleset' (WTF is a conditional ruleset, why would any project need it??? This abstraction makes no sense). What about 'isBlockIgnored(ruleOrDeclaration)'? Sounds like unnecessary complexity bloat when devs keep inventing new abstractions to give themselves more billable hours of work.

I would jump dump all these bloated libraries and frameworks and start the project from scratch.

It probably depends. There is no official Apple repair shops here, but some partners. Some years ago I had to replace a battery on my mothers' Apple laptop and one of them refused to replace battery if I don't give them admin password. I had to make full backup, erase all data and restore it after battery replacement. I haven't had such experience with other Apple repair shop here.
Mines and bombs can be complex objects, especially bombs that are intended to not immediately explode and thus deny access | use up human resources due to the poised threat.

Even as far back as WWII bombs from aircraft included booby trapped "anti personnel" bombs with secondary fuses hidden back to kill bomb disposal experts.

In the case of your concern, bombs can be released with "chemical burn safeties" (for example - when released from an aircraft two agents are released that start a timed burn that arms the bomb after X minutes (and the ground is reached).

Other technicques can use the impact force to arm a mine, it's not dangerous until after it's been slammed into the ground, etc.

> Show me the list of statements that twitter bans, with change history, and I can get you this info.

I agree that evidence is important. Khaine made a specific claim. I don't believe it's supported. I want to see the evidence too. Otherwise I don't believe the claim is correct.

> to (unlawfully) create mechanisms for the government to censor speech in the name of public health.

What do you have against the First Amendment's right of free association?

There is nothing inherently illegal about a company applying a moderation policy. There is nothing inherently illegal about a company voluntarily coordinating with the government.

The Comics Code of The Comics Code Authority was not unconstitutional.

> you are asking for evidence that doesn't exist.

Quite the opposite. Khaine says there is evidence that Twitter used to ban statements saying "wear[ing] a mask to protect yourself from COVID was a mistruth."

I want evidence that that specific event existed.

> The idea of government agencies secretly censoring the public

While the idea of a company voluntarily exercising its right of free association, with a public description of the policy guidelines, is much less concerning.

You come to a programming conference I'm organizing and start presenting public health BS and I will ask you to stop speaking, under threat of expelling you from the conference. That is my Constitutional right.

Just because the BS topic happens to be public health (vs. another sorts of expellable BS) doesn't give the BS presenter special privileges.
Incorrect.

Value can be created and sent back to ether. It’s not a zero sum closed system.

Let’s look at NFTs, they weren’t ever worth anything but some people thought they were, and counted them like they were, and convinced dumb people to pay for them at these prices, but it was all imaginary. The ones that never sold are just as worthless as the ones that did. The entire market collapsed, the “value” is really just gone, no one “has it”.
This is absolutely awesome! I've had (terrible quality) 3-color e-ink displays and some associated electronics sitting in my office cupboard for a few years because I wanted to prototype this project, but I never did. I'm so glad you did this!

Since I just want this to come to fruition, I'll explain what my intended launch strategy was. I'm a developer (just a contractor, not owner) of Tabletop Simulator and do some stuff in that community where there's an overlap between physical tabletop and digital. My plan was to launch a card game (largely designed) and the e-ink cards simultaneously via Kickstarter. However, before that, a digital implementation of the game on TTS. Basically as much as I love this idea, I couldn't see it being monetisable on its own unless you can bring the cost down significantly. It also didn't seem like a defensible business on its own. But if the product is a game that uses said functionality, well, that'd be just swell.

Anyway, congrats, this is awesome!
Dwarf Fortress, the card game?

> When watching TV shows that have cool card games, like Yu-Gi-Oh, it seems like the game doesn't have rules, but instead the kids reason about the characters by looking at the pictures.

This is basically how it worked writing-wise in the original Duel Monsters series (though the characters acted like these were mostly all known effects/interactions), after that came GX where they toned down the creativity and mostly used real effects, then in Zexal and afterwards I think they stuck almost entirely to real effects with occasional exceptions.

They should use AI driven mini robots that go around and blow up mines.
There should be international laws where after wartime, governments are responsible for clearing out any leftover ordinances and must perform ecological cleanup. One would think the U.S. government would be in support of this because it would make wars too cost prohibitive for other nations, and the contracts would be an excellent profitmaking opportunity for the military industrial complex.

This is one of those few posts that i feel like I’ve posted myself while sleepwalking:)

I feel your pain, bro. At least to the degree possible via writing.

I’ve been there and partially still am.

I haven’t got my sh* together. And haven’t even figured out for sure what i wanna do with my life. Or better say - what else/next I am going to do with it.

And you know what, a substantial (if not most) part of the so called successful people you see on the internet - neither.

I promised myself not to pretend anymore that I have. Not to lie to myself and others when possible.

The good thing is that you have something inside you that craves for a change. It cannot take it no more.

I would focus on this something first.

> no idea what I even want to change

Here you go! There’s a force inside you that wants to change your state of being.

And this has giant meaning for you. Otherwise you wouldn’t bother posting here, right?

So why don’t you start respecting and nourishing this part of you first?

You have nothing to loose, as your other parts didn’t have any luck finding any meaning anyway, did they?

This is what helped me to climb out of the deep black hole i once spiraled down into.

Not to the happy life, but at least to the level when I was motivated enough not to miss an amazing wife god sent my way and start a family.

This has not solved the “void” issue for me. No happy end here, sorry.

But this and having a baby pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good, even though very mentally and physically challenging, way.

Next big step up from the void for me was working with psychotherapist. Although I’ve spent quite an effort finding the “right one”.

This hasn’t made me happy either, sorry :)

But it helped me to start learning to listen to my deep inner voice. The same one that originally screamed for help to get him out of the emotional, social and mental void I’ve put him into.

It helped me to start really caring about me, instead of boosting my ego or supporting my public mask.

It helped me to start recovering that intimate connection with myself most people suggesting to solve such issues by healthy diet or Stoicism teaching take for granted.

I keep learning. And my wifi signal from this inner self is still weak, connection keeps interrupting :)

But at least I am at the point where those surface level meditation/hobby/gym/books/sleeping advice start making some sense to me. And start having some positive effect.
I would just say make sure you know what is going to keep you stimulated.

You're looking at about 45 more years of life where the plan appears to be "this job I've already been doing for a while, then retirement, then death."

This does work for some people but make sure you've got something going on that'll keep you from being bored to tears.
There's a huge genre of computer-only card games now, many of which implement these kind of "card evolution" mechanics.

If you're into this sort of thing, I highly recommend checking out Inscryption, it has some really fun twists on this idea.
Twitter permanently suspends chinaprotest reporter
I should have verified this before I commented, seems I kicked off quite a few threads with bad info. Thanks for the correction here, it looks like you're right. There are still arguments to be made against the longevity of Apple devices (if the batteries are the issue let us replace them, give us the option to pick battery or performance instead of forcing poor performance, etc.), but I'm glad to have been corrected on my initial argument.
> If you’re going to use @apply, use it for very small, highly reusable things like buttons and form controls — and even then only if you’re not using a framework like React where a component would be a better choice.

I would say the documentation adequately responds to your complaints about re-usability then? Use a component, use the IDE, or use @apply. The notion about needing to change classes 1000 times for a small edit just isn't true (I've never had to do this w/ 2+ years of tailwind).

> I think you're too narrow minded to accept any input so I won't bother.

Making some sort of ad hominem attack about how I'm narrow minded is useless. I'd love to hear your input.
It used to be the norm in many places, especially when benefits were better. Hard to justify leaving when seniority/tenure offered you things like 2 months of vacation a year and a pension you could collect at 55 or 60, but with a minimum of 10-20 years with the company to qualify. Hard to find that outside the government (in the US) these days, but then the pay is mediocre (at best) for software jobs in the government too.

Sounds like an easy solution. If they do the bare minimum, that’s not a problem.

If you want to get rid of them or take advantage of their expertise, raise the bar. Require more work in some way so that the jobs they do 6 months from now isn’t something that could be done by a new grad.

If they follow you, great. Everyone wins. If they do not, here’s options to exit, take a pick, have a good life.
All this Twitter drama with the CEO isn't going to be doing Tesla any favors in the liberal crunchy hippy crowd.

I used to always ask people about their Teslas in parking lots around Berkeley, and being Berkeley they were often visibly left-leaning tree-huggers saving the planet with their car of choice. There's no effing way this category of Tesla customers are pleased with current events.

My expectation is the moment they can pivot to Honda/Acura and/or Toyota/Lexus analogs of the Model 3/Y they'll jump ship.
Awesome, need to install this!
Here's a conspiracy theory: since building more charaging stations can influence people a lot more on using EVs, which will hurt gasoline car sales and their revenue, and will also hurt the oil industry as a whole as well. Since both industry still have a high margin of profits, they won't give up that easily, thus the gasoline car manufacturers and oil companies deliberately collaborated with critical
EV infrastructure stakeholders such as lawyers and landlords to control the amount of changing stations to checkmate the EV industry.
This is a side note: I am genuinely surprised that this website is not ran by “Chris Cappy” of YouTube fame. I absolutely love his channel and it’s worth watching if you are into military (not political) discourse.
They can even be dispersed using mortars and artillery, like what has been done in Ukraine recently with butterfly mines.
There was a sweet spot in the mid to late 90s where you could find awesome ancient hardware at Goodwill. Around that time I lived in a town of about 150K people, so it had several Goodwill locations, but there was one where all of the computer equipment got sent. My last good score there was a PDP-11/7-something that was in perfect working order with a hard drive for something insane like $20, and the hard drive came complete with about 100 people's personal details *and* mental health records on it. And that's why they have that (very good) policy.
I got dismissed too, in the Netherlands. Way to easy.
Cloudflare partners to simplify China connectivity for corporate networks
I'm eleven years into a FAANG company. It pays well enough that I can be the only earner in the family, and on my particular team, it's not demanding on my time. I work from home most days, I leave the office a couple of times a day to pick up my kids from school or go grocery shopping. The work is interesting enough to grow but not particularly stressful. Frankly, it's an ideal place to be while I focus on what's important: my family, and where possible my hobbies.

I don't feel particularly bound to my position. If work stops being comfortable, or if I got uncomfortably bored, or if someone offered me a sufficiently huge pay increase, I might take it, but why mess with a good thing?
Why not? It's just a job. Whatever allows you to extract the most of what you want and give as little as possible in return.

I don't see myself leaving the role I'm currently in voluntarily, but managers have a way of causing turnover...
A counterexample to the periodic tiling conjecture
there seems to be two main issues: (1) the uploading of thumbnails regardless of user settings and (2) the ability to watch a video stream unauthorized. the discoverer only details the first, to give anker time to investigate and fix the latter. besides their potential use for image recognition, the thumbnail images are used in notifications. i don't think any devices are powerful enough to do facial recognition on device yet. we've just started to get voice recognition on device, and that entails much less information and a lot smaller problem space. but if someone says they don't want to use cloud services, no data at all should be sent to the cloud.
Well that is disappointing. I was feeling uplifted about humanity, and you crushed my hope.

Yes, we should deeply look into the research of these administrator-researchers. There is a rector in EU, who published a paper every week with many co-authors; it shows how productive these guys are: just get as many as postdocs possible, then become a co-author.

Tessier-Lavigne should resign, if "these issues have bearing on the data or the results".

It is the same profession that asks students to sign "code of conduct". Probably, these professors should follow what they tell their students.
Whoah, interesting. I might noodle on that idea a bit.
> there is nothing “high art” about this anymore.

I’m simultaneously in agreement but also drawn to defending the idea. I do think a real distinction can be drawn between human and/or physical chance as part of music composition, and software random numbers. Software random numbers are extra boring and predictable - you know everything about a distribution and it’s behavior a-priori; rolling electronic dice doesn’t add anything interesting. Some (not all, but some) of the examples in the Wikipedia article are not synonymous with software randomness. Chance in a music composition (or any work) can be intentional and arbitrary without being random, in a way that software does not and cannot really capture, at least not yet.

There is also a continuing academic following of the work of Ives and others in music composition circles, and I feel pretty sure most of them would disagree vehemently with the assertion that software plugins even remotely represent the same concept as what they’re trying to do.

But maybe to agree with you somewhat, there has for a while been a weird fascination with randomness among “generative” artists, which might be tied up in popular narratives about free will. Now that computers have gotten really powerful, it’s become more clear that randomness might add salt here and there, but relying on it makes art overall muddy and lacking in intention. I think people are generally coming around to find that randomness doesn’t really add surprise. Same goes for AI at this point - each new neural network is magic for a short while, but then everyone starts to notice it’s producing the same thing.
