There should be reasonable standard terms for widely used contracts. Unit transfer of ownership / sale, rental of the same, etc.

The standard contract should reference that current framework of agreement, and fill in only the variables that matter, possibly with an appendix of penalty fees if applicable. (E.G. like https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates has a cost metric for meals and room rates for each given area; notably this list of fees MUST be from a 3rd party or government source. It must be common use.)

A list of expected payments (quantity and date), transfer events, etc, as well as a summary for anything remotely complex. It should nominally fit on one single sheet of standard paper (letter or A4).

An itemized bill of incidentals E.G. for room charges / etc would be a different type of expense, that would be an add on of additional services.
A facinating teardown! I wonder how long it will be before we manage to get 100G over reasonable copper length. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Gigabit_Ethernet says we can have 100GBASE-CR4 for 7m but no Cat8 yet.

So what did Germany do for heat before the wall fell and they got cheap fuels from Russia?
I once got annoyed at something I saw on a wikpedia talk page, so I wrote a response comment to it, pointing out all the numerous flaws in the argument. But I couldn't drop the subject, something about it kept bugging me... then an echo of a thought dawned on me so I went back and checked that son of a bitch's comment history:

yep, it was me I was arguing with, I'd written the previous comment a few years earlier from totally the other side of the argument :)
I worked with Activision on a game years ago. It was absolutely terrible. People were working 18 hour shifts and eating junk food. Everyone was completely stressed out and some looked positively sick. The producer was prancing about in storm-trooper boots and basically promising that the beatings would continue until morale improved. He just struck me as a sick sadist, attracted to the job for the same reasons we get bad cops.

I've heard similar stories from former EA folks, and others. It's just a shitty, crappy industry, that takes advantage of the perceived glamour to exploit people and burn them out without any conscience.
I always assumed it was more about cost to print. Manga is often colored, it's just usually only grey and black colors. Nice color printing does cost a lot more.
It’s real, but I think the anti-suit culture has less of a point when tech has been ascendant so long.

It's bad faith if you believe he does have the capability but intentionally doesn't use it. And isn't listening to his advisors.
> And, as long as it doesn't breach any explicit laws, that condition is equally enforceable.

That isn't true; if the court concludes that no reasonable person would ever have knowingly agreed, it will find that the condition is unenforceable. It's a real standard, but I don't recall the relevant technical terms.

Obviously it's hard to meet that standard, but breaching an explicit law is very much not a requirement for unenforceability.

Ubuntu 22.04 with proprietary NVIDIA driver. I made no changes to the driver nor tinkered with any settings. I did not run any weird/nerdy applications that might have affected the GPU at all.

The only thing I did was running `apt update` and `apt upgrade` every day. One day, it just stopped booting into my desktop environment. Instead, it showed a blinking cursor. I followed some random tutorials online and uninstalled the driver, which fixed the issue.

What is your point?

The long term predictions can be correct with some error bars on the time it takes. If those bars are just a few lifetimes, sure maybe you wont see it, but that is still instant on a planetary timescale.
blogs and content producers (exist text based) will cease to exist. this could kill Google. instead of asking questions of a search engine, you'll now use gpt, which will mean anyone who counts on search traffic for money will likely need to find a new income stream.

But yeah, if you're talking USD, then one could easily live comfortably for five years in Vietnam/Thailand for $20k/year. (Although you could easily live in a ton of countries if you pick your town/city/area correctly)
Then smash out all those side-gig bootstrap ideas that come to mind. If you can build MRR of approx $6k, then you've effectively built up the equivalent of $1M earning 7% in the bank.

Actually, my latest company was started 3 years (and nearly a month) ago, and is now earning easily that in revenue from one of its Saas products, so yeah, it's definitely acheivable.
I have been using an extension called "Dark Reader" which essentially converts every website into dark mode. I wasn't aware of the scientific and health concerns regarding dark mode.

I do now realize that all websites don't necessarily have a black background. While I consider the website's points about dark mode, I disagree. Dark mode is easier to read - atleast for me and others.

If a website doesn't have a dark mode, extensions always work. Maybe for some people like the author, light mode is better and that's a personal preference.

It’s mostly about the rate of change. If we went to where we’re going over a hundred thousand years or even a few thousand, ecosystems could adapt, but we’re digging up and burning hundreds of millions of years of carbon in a century
I'm watching engineers re-implement error handling code I wrote line by line over the weeks after they "optimized" my error handling into a oneliner. And as the old bugs crop up when API error responses are weirdly formed, they find themselves adding the edge case code I had added previously.

If I had been granted time to add unit tests, those would just function as a source of truth: "sometimes the API returns this kinda weird error, so we handle it. Sometimes this one, so we handle it." Unit tests are nice for that, all things this given program (the UI in this case) needs to worry about from the various things it talks to (it could talk to a couple different APIs who all have different quirks).

I wasn't granted time because the API quirks are considered bugs that are being fixed... one day... hence why the oneliner "refactor" was allowed, but regardless, it has been my go to object lesson in why I finally find unit tests useful.
Or you could just not care what people think… and do what you want
It seems likely the author was just into it because it is a fad. Here is why I use and like dark mode:

My eyes feel better on both short term and long term use. It doesn't feel as uncomfortable on my eyes.

Whether or not it is technically more readable or not doesn't matter to me. I don't need a study of a population to know what feels better to me. I'm a sample size of one, but the only one in this case that matters. Others are free to make their own choice. YMMV.
It does make sense. Except economic cycles are almost never local especially with globalization. So timing could be an issue.

From the abstract:

"Using stellar population modelling, we find the galaxies typically contain a hundred million solar masses in stars, in stellar populations that are less than one hundred million years old. The moderate star formation rates and compact sizes suggest elevated star formation rate surface densities, a key indicator of their formation pathways. Taken together, these measurements show that the first galaxies contributing to cosmic reionisation formed rapidly and with intense internal radiation fields."
I think you can already do that - this just fixed a memory leak on init failure.
What's risky about evaluating your own code on your own pages?
Hm, but we've had zero interest rates that entire time so shouldn't we have expected even higher returns? E.g. what would the 90s have looked like with zero rates?
Bluetooth support on windows 10 is by far the worst of any operating system in the last decade. It's an absolute joke.

Bluetooth and wifi honestly do "just work" these days. There are some old or weird radios that don't have good drivers, but that's a problem money will solve. Just buy a radio known to work.

I can't say I've done much printing or scanning in the last few years, but it's basically fine these days. It's annoying as hell, but printers are always annoying, in any situation.

All of these were common problems several years ago, but they're pretty much solved these days. The real sticking point now is GPU drivers, and less commonly audio drivers. Linux is generally quite usable for a large number of people these days.

Or go multi-brand, and introduce cheaper brands for the lower quality properties, to maintain the goodwill for the higher quality brands. Many hotels do this with many different brands under the same organization that segment their customers on price and quality expectations.

I always thought that Uber/AirBnB etc should be more aggressive in creating more brand separation between their cheaper options and their higher quality options.
That's fine. I care enough for all of us.

I had an access cab w/ the standard bed (6'). Ended up putting long things in the bed, then up over the cab, then strapped down.

IMHO, with a Taco, you really need to pick an option.

Option 1: I carry people more than things, in the city. Double cab + 5ft bed (aka the common one)

Option 2: I carry things more than people, in the city. Access cab + 6ft bed

Option 3: I carry things and people, and am willing to access the turning radius and parking compromises. Double cab + 6ft bed

Honestly, for urban trucks I always liked the Honda Ridgeline (Gen 1, not sure if they still do) openable divider style. Because most long stuff isn't wide... just long. So it's fine putting it up over the center console.
Ah, thank you!

This is true.

Though I think many imitate regardless of the tribe/workforce/culture in order to fit in.

Look at the schools. It’s informal but there are definitely trends and fashions to follow in order to relate.

Just a thought, but the change in attire, then, is to create some formal distance between management and direct reports.

It also helps that it is extremely rare to see a manga have a rotating creative team, so you get a much more consistent story and tone, the whole way through.

Having a creator come onto an American comic with a specific enthusiasm for one specific character, theme or trope, and have that dominate for years of that creators' tenure, is really annoying. Also, that creator needing to be aware of previous history (or choosing to ignore it entirely) means you're getting a mixed bag.

I lost interest in Western comics after DC rebooted their universe ("Which time?" you ask? New 52) and it became clear that unless your favourite character was marquee (Superman, Batman, etc), it was completely out of control what was going to change or be ignored about their history. I ended up thinking "if comics aren't going to respect me as a reader, why am I staying around?"

This, of course, got worse with the advent of the MCU and its imitators. Western comics are mostly just idea factories for films now; the "big name" creatives of the past are largely retired, or writing for TV/movies, and the people replacing them have nowhere near the vision (or freedom from Marvel or DC) to create compelling stories.

Manga is completely demolishing Western comics' sales at every turn, and Oda being able to craft twenty years of a narrative (while making me feel rewarded for investing) is an amazing feat.
This is what I was saying before on here (and getting downvoted). Carvana's value add was selling used cars to people who don't like the experience of buying used cars. It's a good idea and someone else can take their place.

The problem with Carvana was that by offering auto loans to buyers as well as taking out loans to buy cars from sellers, they became excessively levered in a time of rising interest rates and falling demand for used cars. On the upswing they massively invested, thinking this was business success and not shocking leverage, and the downswing wiped them out.

Whoever the carvana replacement is going to be, they should subcontract out the business of offering auto loans and they should borrow less to fund acquisition of cars, because the auto business is cyclical and they need to be able to survive the downturns, which requires less rapid growth during the boom. But the overall business model can be fixed, even if Carvana can't.
In my experience East Asian culture prioritizes having nice clothes, nice cars, and nice jewelry over having a nice home.

Thankfully macOS runs on a variety of devices. MacBooks, iMacs, Max Minis, Mac Pro, etc.

What do you think the annual cost of macOS on iPad would be. How big would the team need to be?

The direct cost is more than tractable. The lost sales from people buying one device instead of two could be a net revenue loss.

It may well be good for Apples bottom line. But it’s super shitty for consumers. And the limitations preventing it are entirely self-imposed.

Once upon a time Steve Jobs introduced a device that was an iPod, and phone, and an internet communicator all in one device. That was nice. There’s zero functional reason to force users to buy a tablet and a laptop. A tablet with detachable keyboard is functionally identical. My grandmother couldn’t even tell them apart.

In October 1990, García, then a Tucson-based real estate developer pleaded guilty to a felony bank fraud charge for his role as a straw borrower in the collapse of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association.[4][5] Garcia "fraudulently obtained a $30-million line of credit in a series of transactions that also helped Lincoln hide its ownership in risky desert Arizona land from regulators."[4] Garcia spent three years on probation, and he and his firm filed for bankruptcy.[5]

In 1991, García bought Ugly Duckling, a bankrupt rent-a-car franchise, for under $1 million and merged it with his own fledgling finance company, and turned it into a company selling and financing used cars for sub-prime buyers with poor credit history.[5] Garcia took the company public on the NASDAQ exchange in 1996, trading under the ticker "UGLY".[6] In 1999, Garcia was involved in six lawsuits alleging he had "abused his position to profit" from a real estate deal where he ultimately acquired 17 company properties at a 10% discount.[5] In 2002, Garcia and the former Ugly Duckling CEO, Gregory Sullivan, took the company private and renamed it DriveTime.[7]

> Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn).

The value of manga is really hard to put into a clear revenue value. Similar to Pokemon, the properties generate revenue in so many different formats, that the manga itself is merely a carrier for the property at large.

The merch, computer games, pachinko and anime add up to a significantly bigger value than merely $2 billion. For ex: just the 3 biggest recent manga movies: 'Demon Slayer Mugen Train, One Piece Red, Jujutsu Kaisen 0' made a total of $1billion at the box office.

I'm all for disruption in the manga business. The working conditions for the mangaka (authors) are inhumane and slavish. Early deaths and chronic health problems are the norm.

But, Korean webtoons are nowhere close to the quality or economic value of manga just yet. 'Peerless Dad [1]' is the only one I've found so far that I'd recommend to everyone. Ofc, there is a lot of tropey-wish-fulfillment in the likes of Overgeared, Solo Leveling & Sword king, but 2/3 of those have ended up in the dreaded K-manwha churning powercreep and none of them do anything particularly new.

How would you describe behaviour?
This essay opens with comments about utility for the metaverse but then switches to a description of a grammar without strongly connecting back to why it is so valuable for programmers to learn a new language to better build the metaverse. It may be helpful but is it that much more helpful?

I understand this is a pet project for these folks but I think that a metaverse grammar should not fe functional but procedural - it should be extremely simple and accessible to novices. We want these tools to be accessible to everybody I think - unless we as programmers want to be responsible for building all interactions for all users.

But I mostly think a grammar today isn’t just about the literal parser - instead it is more about the parser and surrounding tooling. Rust for example is surrounded by tooling that helps - cargo/crates are a nice helpful way to make rust developers effective.

If I was going to devote significant energy to this topic I’d solve other problems. Any code that users write needs to be late binding - allow software agents to be pushed to the cloud and participate in already running simulations or models. Code should allows users to define granular security around libraries and components to prevent them from doing bad things. Code should be highly portable; able to run across many devices at speed - not something new that has low cross platform support.

I think a better way of thinking about this isn’t the grammar itself but the kind of “computational sandbox” one is offering - the grammar container or app runner.

WASM is a good example of thinking in a better way - portable, secure, performant. It’s more like a metaverse tool than the above grammar.

What’s especially curious to me is that Tim’s project Unreal is almost the anti-metaverse. It is utterly fixated on and built around an extremely heavy high fidelity renderer - that is not portable - that does not run across many devices. Unreal uses an old school compilation philosophy that requires behaviors to be precompiled - so if you want to add a single feature you have to tear down all the instances, recompile them, recompile the server too, distribute a new build to all participants and restart the sim. It’s a tool designed for a different era and a different ecosystem… in a sense AAA games are the opposite of a participatory constantly evolving online shares consensual world. So maybe he should fix that first.
