It depends on your own definition of usable. I'm using my Pinephone as a daily driver.
Jobs that require creativity should allow for free time, to let inspiration come to you rather than try to summon it. I think programming is one of those jobs. And if you are always coding, always against a schedule, it's easy to burn out because you went against the essence of your work.
Zero inflation means that a risk-free way to hold on to all of your value forever is by just holding it. Inflation incentivizes people to buy/invest as opposed to just holding onto money.

Holding onto money is bad because every dollar you spend, another man earns. A lack of spending from one party is a lack of earning for another. The economy functions not on people having money, but on people continually spending that money and moving it from one party to another to incentivize work being done and problems being solved.
It is not trivially easy to solve the second problem without solving the first problem. If you don't have proof of identity, all someone has to do to eavesdrop on you is pretend to be the person you're communicating with while actually communicating with them on your behalf.
I've been in orgs in which developers are considered grunts and no one listens to their feedback. It's not that they aren't important, it's that the PMs/managers/whatever know better.

I see firebreak sprints as a symptom of an org not valuing engineer feedback. "Let the grunts blow off some steam or they'll get disgruntled and leave."

There's been a trend of putting 'no copyright infringement intended' on top of blatant copyright infringement and thinking they're fine. This is nuts. Legally, it's about as sound a defence as chasing down a crossing guard in your car while shouting "no injury intended!"*

Copyright laws are nuts too, and I'm very empathetic to game preservation efforts, but this kind of boilerplate is legally nonsense. Don't make the mistake of thinking this in any way protects you, folks. It does nothing. If anything, you're indicating that you knew that the content was under copyright protection at the time you posted it and that you knew you didn't have permission to use it.

(* Not saying they're equivalent offences, just equally nonsensical defences!)
Theft is a crime regardless of what is being stolen, so is fraud.

Remembering the Arecibo Observatory Dish, Two Years After Its Collapse
This topic usually seems to miss some pragmatism. Regardless of whether or not Apple's approach is _good_ (and it most certainly isnt, except for Apple), they can do it. We can stop pontificating on whether their official position makes sense. It doesnt matter - they are doing it.

The real questions are whether buying Apple is worth it. And if there are any roadblocks for the competition that could be removed.
From my experience, any binary is going to need patching before it runs, because shared libraries are in weird paths. I especially had issues running Steam, but this was about 8 years ago — maybe the situation has improved now.

Not at the targeted 2% it doesn't. It convinces people to buy houses. Otherwise the money would be sitting in a bank account because if it's deflationary there's no impetus to use it since it may be worth more next year. It's about balancing.
Missing: Arguments that are deeper than tweets
It's not as bad as you'd expect but still a bit bad. Especially around topics that the liberal left is passionate about you'll get very snarky and aggressive responses. Also somehow slang sets it off.

To get more useful answers you can just prefix your questions by: "What is generally regarded as ...".

Overall I'd say they did a pretty good job, the model doesn't have an objective understanding of the world so it can only go by other's observations and opinions. It might be aggressive when it comes to anything that has to do with sex(ism), race(ism), class(ism), etc but it will never tell you that the earth is flat or that the US elections are rigged.
Arizona is actually a good choice. It is geologically stable, doesn't suffer from natural disasters, is somewhat close to Silicon Valley, and has a large enough talent pool to staff TSMC's facilities.

Nix is a package manager and NixOS is a distro. It's (very) kinda like a docker and gentoo combination done by haskell people
I share the same concerns. The intensity of the traffic simulation will be adjustable by the player.

I have up to three options I am considering implementing.

e.g. The player could set a fixed percentage of units that teleport to their destination.
If you just want someone to shoot you straight:

Documentation and naming conventions for Nix are absolute shit across the board. This will get downvotes, and people will say I'm wrong, but I'm 100% right. Go see yourself, it's bad. Language is called Nix, OS is actually called Nix, package manager is called Nix, just the whole thing seems like it was written in 1 week by a squirrel with 12 hands and a sack of ritalin.

That being said a lot of smart people here and in my peer group swear it's the truth, despite none being able to elevator pitch it.
That's only the best strategy, if your opponent can make any chess move.

I use both 1Password and Bitwarden, plus like you I was someone who migrated from LastPass to 1Password.

I'd say personally I feel 1Password is a better product, it is just more logical for me separating out the passwords I manage for clients into Vaults that I can share either single passwords or their entire Vault with them should they move to another supplier.

Tags are a great feature in 1Password that I miss in Bitwarden. 1Password's app and addons for Android & Firefox, respectively, edge Bitwarden too.

However I do and will continue to support Bitwarden for it's open source attitude.

>From Silicon Valley boardrooms to rural communes to academic philosophy departments, a seemingly inconceivable idea is being seriously discussed: that the end of humanity’s reign on Earth is imminent, and that we should welcome it.

This is a left-wing viewpoint. Each of those 3 entities are all left wing.

This is also in line with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_Rebellion

This belief of imminent society collapse has been around long enough to categorize these groups as the same doomsayers as the mayan calendar folks. There is absolutely no climate apocalypse. humanity isn't going extinct and denying these outrageous baseless claims is not the equivalent of 'cheering on our demise'

I think this is a key debate area which the conservatives/republicans don't understand the liberals/democrats.

The interesting thing is that Russia has been preparing their military doctrine for war with NATO since the beginning of NATO. Russia has operational hypersonic missiles capable of penetrating NATO air defenses. They also have the S-400 anti-aircraft system that can track and shoot down even F22/F35s at long distance. These weapons are useless against Ukraine.

> I'm a bad basketball player and my intent has fuckall to do with that judgement.

Being a bad basketball player doesn't automatically mean you're bad at all sports. And it certainly doesn't mean you're a bad person.

> If a parent isn't preparing children for life as an adult they're bad parents.

I mostly agree with this statement, but this isn't where we started.

And just like failing at basketball doesn't mean you're failing at all athletic or sporting endeavors, failing at one aspect of parenting doesn't mean you're failing all aspects of parenting (an enormously complicated and diverse set of responsibilities).

If a parent is failing the most critical aspects, or most aspects, yeah, they're bad parents.

Bad parents still aren't automatically bad people.

At this point, I think the horse has been beaten sufficiently.

The same books that entrepreneurs needed to read/imbibe to "help them survive" in every previous year

New books are exciting toys - but the old ones are [almost] always better

My back of the envelope guess is that 10% of all "new" business/entrepreneurial/economics/etc texts are going to be worth reading in a year

Of those, 10% will be worth reading in a decade

Look at what's survived and carries the weight of continued availability instead of always looking for the latest and "greatest" management book

Better yet, find actual meat-world people who have been there and done that, and get their advice

Some of those claims are a bit silly, at least for the USA, since we have never had secure border controls. And actually securing the border was never a realistic proposition during the early phase of the pandemic.

And the part about a strong test and trace capability is obviously nonsense. That didn't work in any of the countries that tried, except previous perhaps in China where the government is able to exercise a level of totalitarian control worse than any virus.

It's disappointing that this kind of unrealistic garbage makes it though peer review.

It seems a bit self inflicted to me. Managers where I work expect you to correct them if your workload is too much. But people are just hyper ambitious and/or anxious to do that so they under estimate the work and end up working overtime to deliver what they promised. Over time it becomes the norm among developers. I'm guilty of this as well. Like last night I had to help a new developer, I explicitly said that we could have a meeting the next day if he wanted, I told him not to feel pressured, but he insisted it was fine so we ended up working together late at night to get his environment set up.
In the case of Apple I think if you look at the mobile phone usage of
people in the top 25% of incomes in America you would find that they are well over 80% market share. While this is a somewhat contrived segmentation, it is also most important segment for a lot of businesses. Monopoly power is typically assessed by the doj at a regional level so it is not unprecedented to arrive at monopoly issues on the basis of a portion of a larger market. The novelty here is about switching costs and bundling.
I largely agree but I would like to add that much software we developers work on today works against developer satisfaction.

Bizarre architecture choices based on trends, tedious build steps, complex development setups with hours spent on configuration, etc.

Software development has become a time sink into things that has nothing to do with the actual task at hand.

This annoys me somewhat more than a clueless manager, who can be forgiven for not understanding software development, because these software architectural problems is something we developers created, willingly.

Somewhat real-time chat with a human I'm talking to on purpose is the only legitimate use case I can think of and the only thing I enable any sort of push notification from at all, but even then, only from native apps. If the only reason this needs to be in a browser is saving time for the developer, that isn't a good enough reason for me as a user as long as other options exist that use native apps.

Even to use this theoretically, though, I'd want the strict ability to control who can even send me a direct message. As it stands, the only thing I currently allow push notifications for are SMS and Signal, but the SMS texts are still overwhelming election spam from people who aren't even trying to spam me but have the wrong number for my mother or grandmother and bulk property buyers who claim they want to buy one of my houses. So I hope you plan to enable user-controllable proactive origin filtering (not after the fact user-by-user blocking).

Apple developing a more secure platform is an innovation and advancement. If the iPhone isn’t the right choice for you buy one of the other thousand phones on the market, and leave other people alone.
Naive. I can create an engine which will plan with this restriction in mind.

In other words, whatever the rules, you can have an engine that will try to do the best according to the rules.
No; checkmates are not needed. You win the game by almost checkmating the opponent: by leaving them only one legal move, which is thus necessarily the top engine move.
Yeah, >90% of the uses are just pure abuse.

Forget fixing healthcare, reducing gun crime or the opioid epidemic. This is the real issue.
By coincidence, the median estimate and world population are both fairly round numbers: 20M deaths on a planet with 8B people. Put another way: 1 in every 400 people on earth died from this disease. It's hard to process.
If you deliver checkmate, you lose. You have to instead force your opponent into a situation where they only have one legal move (which is trivially the best engine move).
As bad as the US is (and getting worse) many places in the world have really horrific traffic deaths, so reduced activity on roads can be a big factor.

How many deaths world wide (estimated, as these numbers are always estimates) from the 2018 flu season?
Doing so very effectively it seems. :)
The article had an illustration of this: the player put their opponent into check where there was only one move to get out of check. The opponent would have to make that move, whether they were human or machine, so the player who made the original move wins the game.

It is an interesting variation on chess given the current state of tournament play, yet it isn't really a solution to the cheating problem since it is effectively a new game with a new end-state. But you are probably right about there needing to be some sort of threshold. While there the rules of the variation says that any move with equal scores is considered equivalent, I would imagine the players would need a very intimate knowledge of how the engine scores moves in certain scenarios.

We practically wiped out the flu via social distancing and people still kept dying from Covid. Nasty virus.
The point is valid. The risks of COVID-19 to people who did not have serious co-morbidities was continuously overstated. This led to measurable misunderstandings among normal people as to the actual risk.

What do you do when your favorite open source project removes a feature you use?
If you’re building large new features on a product then I really recommend Shape Up’s model. Long period of driving the build followed by an explicit cool off period. They recommend 6 weeks of build followed by 2 weeks to cool off, but we’re such a small team that we halved this and found it worked way better - it’s four weeks which is an easier transition from two week sprints imo.

It gives time to just polish off those little rough edges that build up over time and gives developers a lull in which to work on low stress 9-4.30 kind of work.

You appear to be blaming those estimated 230,000 excess deaths on lockdowns. The article blames the pandemic itself. That's not the same thing.
No, don't be ridiculous. Having rescued several people from the described situations I wrote this because because it's an abused feature.

If pushing the web forward is whatever the hell that assortment of notifications is at the top of the article, I'm all for holding it back.
Think of all the time, money, and effort wasted on Unicode.
I mean yes and no. One might make the same claim about an FPU for example. It should be possible for most software to be fast without assuming fast floating point calculations. But if it can reasonably be assumed that the deployment platform does have that capability then does it make sense to focus effort into optimising that.

I think there's an argument to be that programs should focus more on when they're reading from disk because some programs can end up slow or laggy even on SSDs. But systems not running on SSDs (outside of embedded and object storage use cases) are exceedingly rare these days. And that's only likely to be more true over time.
A (tenured) professor told me he presents these ideas as a 2x2 for new untenured faculty: One axis is to work on what you think will be fun, or work on stuff you're not interested in, but that you think will get you tenure. On the other axis, you get tenure or you don't. Evaluate the likelihood of happiness in each box.

He thought it broke down roughly like this:

fun + tenure = Awesome!

fun + no tenure = Not bad, you still got paid for six years to work on fun stuff, which probably more than you'll get anywhere else.

no fun + tenure = Okay, but was six years of no fun really worth it?

no fun + no tenure = What am I even doing?

He thought it was clear that working on fun interesting stuff before tenure maximized happiness. Your milage may vary.
What they're really targeting is not to have negative inflation/deflation. It's traditionally thought that if prices are going down the economy will stagnate as people wait to make purchases later, which results in less output and a recession.

Because reaching a steady level of inflation is hard due to the nature of the markets, economy and the tools available to central banks they aim for 2% so it can wiggle around that - rather than around 0%

It's interesting that more recently economists have started to disagree that a little deflation is a bad thing - for example Switzerland last decade (but Switzerland is a small very stable economy).
