You're not wrong, and honestly you raise a lot of good points. But remember I told yall to pretend to be broke for a second. If you live in apartment complex of 400 ppl, out in the semi-suburbs of a major city, there aren't nearly enough charging stations to charge everyone's car. Unless you dangle an extension cord out your 2nd story window and park right in front to charge your car.

That 2k cost for electricity you mentioned is for people charging at home, in their garage, with their own charger, and the latter two are things that people who live in the city are probably not going to have.

https://walletburst.com/tools/electric-car-savings-calc/

At 57 mpg (which is what the latest prius gets), and gas at 2.50 a gallon, and assuming electricity costs 0.13 cents per kwh, you only save 150 bucks a year in gas. Thats 12 dollars a month. That's nothing. If an electric car costs just 8k more than an equivalent gas car, thats 50+ years to break even.

12 dollars a month - broke people are just going to work an extra shift or 2 and make that money and not think about it. Better than than missing work because you couldn't find a spare charger in the city, or paying 20 bucks for a fast charge overpriced public charger.

As an aside, using a fast charger just once - just one time a month - is likely to eat whatever savings in electricity you would otherwise have from buying an EV.

I will concede that if you use the calculator above and plug in $5.00 a gallon, then the average payback comes down from 50+ years to around 10. But - at least in the states, the places that have gas at 5 dollars a gallon also have electricity kwh costs of ~30 cents per kwh. And if you plug that into the calculator, the payback goes back up to 50+ years. Actually, the numbers are suspiciously quite similar. It's almost as if you can't win. Is it a conspiracy? I don't know.
It also happens with my music player when playing my own library of music, it has actually gotten that bad that even random no longer works as it should.

This is why I kept all of my old CDs, Mp3s, and DVDs... One day we're going to have to boycott everything and it will be painful for those who only had subscriptions on entertainment & productivity apps.

I'll load up windows 98 if I have to! I'll do it again!
So when you say “his” companies, do you mean:

PayPal (not founded by Musk)
Tesla (not founded by Musk)
The Boring Company (only existed to de-rail a planned road development that annoyed Musk)
SpaceX (I’ll give you this one)
Ideally, but we would apparently need an amendment to the Constitution for that too be true.
Thanks that is helpful. Is this clearly accepted enough to correct native speakers for example when proofing copy?
Although I'm not sure the degree to which getting multiple passports plays into this. Maybe it's easier to get multiple passports these days.

Pre-pandemic, I canceled a couple of trips to India for visa issues--wouldn't get back in time for other trips--although my understanding is the situation has improved.

That looks to be the plan. Whoever takes this job at this point is setting themselves up for failure. Anybody smart enough to run Twitter will pass and anybody stupid enough to try will end up being blamed even though there isn't a thing they could do about it at this point.

I'm open to being surprised.

Plan 'C':

Musk eats his loss, re-IPO's twitter at 10 cts on the dollar, prays the investors will cut him a deal and the new owners will do what they can to salvage the wreck. That would probably still be a dicey proposition. The cat is out of the bag now, Mastodon and a couple of others are now suffering growth pains for the first time in a long time and the most active users are all wondering if they should bail or have already done so.

It's the biggest self-own in the history of tech. But hopefully it will result in centralized social media becoming a thing of the past. That at least would be one positive thing to come out of this.

Maybe smaller orgs are better for everyone in every way, except for what becomes possible with economies of scale (a team of 10 wouldn’t be making iPhones, as an extreme example). Even if that simple analysis were correct, it’s still hard to weigh.
It might look like nostr [1], because this is a very bare bones backbone, one which developers can build their own social apps, standards, and so on.

It probably wouldn't cost that much (relative to both the building and the transaction costs) to require an energy rating as part of a home sale or rental.

Rentals wouldn't need constant testing to make at least some difference in the market (like say one large apartment building is built with more insulation than another one nearby).
A monorepo is indeed not necessarily the one true best way for everyone. But it is _a_ way that works well for certain large corps, such as Google, that can dedicate teams to solve challenges that indeed come with it.

Some advantages off the top of my head:

- Let's say I am getting an error in production, and it was built from version X of the repo. In 3 seconds I am navigating the source tree of all of my tens of thousands of dependencies at that exact version.

- While developing, doing experiments, or reproing a bug, I can trivially make temporary changes to any dependency. It's a zero effort thing, so I often jump into any dependency without hesitating. For example for adding some extra logging.

- Step debugging into code from any library dependency is trivial.

- Making changes to a library let me use the build and test system to find if it breaks any user. Because the build and test system is completely consistent across the monorepo, I can easily dig into any user's code, fix it, and run their tests with my changed library.

Ouch, apparently the writers were even planning on the next season being the final one.
Also they believe that it's financed by "COVID lottery winnings".
I don't think this is correct. Two points against it:

1) Upgrades aren't all that valuable in lots of cases. Why should software require constant upgrades to work right? Lots of rarely upgraded software works just fine. The easy example here is Sublime Text. One of the best text editors, bar none. It had how many years between major upgrades? And old versions work just fine.

Maybe for security sensitive software constant upgrades are important, because there are adversarial actors trying to break it. But that doesn't apply to things like Photoshop.

2) My best guess is that the real reason for companies moving to the subscription model is effectively as a form of seller-provided financing. Remember how much Photoshop used to cost when you could buy it? After googling around, I see prices in the $700-800 range. Now it's like 20 bucks a month, so Adobe makes the same amount after a few years of a subscription, but in addition probably gets a lot more casual users who don't quite realize that the monthly payment still adds up over the end.

(Edit) Also, one other point on the whole notion of software companies going out of business because people didn't buy the next version. Isn't that just the same thing as planned obsolescence in the non-software world? Don't we get mad when non-software companies insist on forcing people to re-buy their products over and over again in order to make money? Also, how do non-software companies manage to pull it off? Honda cars last a famously long time, yet we don't see people shedding tears for them because once you buy a Civic you don't have to buy the "upgrade" in a year.
I can't believe no one has posted the infamous quote yet:

"You will own nothing, and be happy."

The WEF posted that article on their site in 2016, deleted it sometime later after it got a LOT of understandably negative attention, and tried to call it a conspiracy theory, but it's clear what's going on. (You can still look in the web archive for the article). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25068820
Is that a land area requirement (about 7 units to an acre), or gross living area requirement?

Requiring 6K ft^2 of the latter is quite high for a government-imposed requirement (and therefore likely not common enough to be a major source of overall housing pressure).

This is the problem i hope WebAssembly fixes. 2GB of RAM per microservice is nuts. If we can get this back down to 10-100MB, then maybe we can run a company's dev env from a laptop again.
I heard Stadia was actually pretty good, especially for a game that wasn't super sensitive to fast reactions like RDR2.

Oh I just remembered the good old Wii surveys. Those were fun.
The question is, why are you writing <div> tags? Between the wide variety of semantic elements now in HTML, and the ability to create your own via custom elements, the number of times you actually need to use divs—especially "div tag soup" that we unfortunately see all too often out in the wild—has dropped to nearly nil.

Viva la semantic and expressive HTML code!

Honestly, I think xpra is probably the best open solution you will find. It does have (too) many knobs to configure so it takes time to try out different codecs and settings to find a sweet spot using their session info toolset. And the mailing list is very helpful. For example, if bandwidth is plenty, you can use the straight RGB encoding and it performs well. Turning on audio can have effect on your latency as well.
Mandate all rentals be rated for energy efficiency and that the rating be shown on all advertisements of the property. The market will sort it out once individuals can see "This one costs slightly more in rent but much less in energy."
I did take a course on computer architecture and organization. Just this last term, in fact. It's been one of my favourite course so far. Our final (small) project for that class was writing a simple assembly program -- ours asked the user for a word, counted the number of vowels in that word, then printed that result to the console. Challenging, but very, very interesting.

I've added those two books to my list. Thank you for the recommendation!
Also they have such terrible ad inventory that even their top-tier programming gets the same ads at each interval.
An empty, but preferably quite large, theatre makes for a great experience. My wife and I went to see a movie on Christmas Eve and we were the only ones there, similar experience in a different year I was one of five in a 250 seat theatre in the days immediately after Christmas.
People do like to watch flawed people win, it gives them hope about their own lives.

No, they can't while he's preventing them telling their friends and colleagues where they're going. Without your network, leaving is equivalent to using nothing since nobody you know will be there if you can't coordinate.
But isn't it infinitely cheaper and more efficient to just cover the earth with 5x as many panels?

Losses in transmission from space would be significant (I'm seeing 9.6% microwave efficiency) and never mind that it costs $1000/kg to put something in space.

The key is to also keep your old hardware conveniently offline until they drop pushing forced updates to it... It works surprisingly well when no patches are applied, and documentation is usually quite thorough.
I wonder how to do that with .Xmodmap

The First time you experience this is extremely painful and disorienting. Only advantage being you come out way stronger on the other side.

I hope things are better for you now and hope and pray nothing but the best comes your way hereafter. Have a good one brother.
I figured The Pragmatic Programmer might be a good one. I'll begin with that. I've added Refactoring to Patterns to my list. Thanks for sharing this.

No, NB is considered trans too (regardless of AGAB).
Landlords are not politically strong. At every protest against new housing it is 100% homeowners.
Sure but most regular consumer or business applications don't really need that level of graphical power. Rendering a menu or button or blurb of text locally from some layout language is always going to be more performant than streaming raw pixels from a server.
Interesting "automagic" tool for audio post targeted towards hobbyists and creators. Anyone able to compare this with the entry level[1] version of the professional standard dialog cleanup software, RX?

Nonsense. Most of them do. Deezer even offered a bigger music archive in the beginning. Tidal started as sub only but added a US only free tier, instead it pays its artist much better.
>maybe it just show how little someone else's content is important to you

i mean that's pretty much it. i barely care about the whole thing, but if it's easy enough it's a bit of decent time waster. twitter was easy enough, adding the tiniest of steps is enough to make me decide i don't really care.

Mastodon's UX isn't bad, it's just not actively pressuring me into interacting more than i really want to, the way twitter generally did/does.

We’re talking generally here about all software development, so of course we can find exceptional cases to refute anything anyone says. Let’s scope the discussion to what is likely a common developer scenario where `git clone` works and it’s possible to run a reasonable facsimile of the application locally (maybe with some simulators for cloud services).

> and not only was no clickbait intended but the first sentence was intended to reinforce this was about his presence on AM radio

That’s exactly what clickbait means. You have to click on the link to read the first sentence.

It leaves the important information out of the link text, and it uses ambiguous tongue-in-cheek language to suggest that the piece is going to be about something more interesting and engaging than it really is.

The fact that the title is debunked in the first sentence is a clear sign of bad intentions. You are literally being pranked: “Did you hear Leo Laporte passed away? Psych! Actually, he’s still alive! We only made you think he’s dead, just because we thought we could get away with it!”

If that’s your idea of “no clickbait intended”, I wonder what intentional clickbait would look like?
Eventually after an OS passes it EOL... Even security threats decrease as the OS falls out of popular use. I ran a totally offline NT server for many years after EOL and it was glorious, CD-ROM and all.
Of course Tiddly Wiki can save.

I would recommend Vim/Neovim for you, but that can go both ways: learn Vim enough, develop the vim muscle memory, and you are stuck on Vim forever! Seriously, switching would from Vim is really hard, that's why so many people refuse to do it, even if they have to.

TL;DR: 30 years is a very, very long time, i don't even know if we will still be using code editors in 30 years, and the hardware will probably evolve in a way that lets you run big IDEs like Jetbrains' in low-end systems.

* It's probably hard to stop using PED when you're in the public eye for having a great physique

* People are becoming more aware of PED, what 'natural' looks like in comparison, and the number of people that take PED without admitting it. We should continue this education front.

* It's a shame we cannot trust people that look great and attribute it to a supplement, unique diet, or a workout plan and try to sell you things.

* It's a shame the bar for what a great body looks like it set artificially high.

* These have serious long term health consequences. They damage the heart and hormone production. Some people need to take testosterone for life because their body just won't produce enough of it anymore.
>I’d agree with you except that linktr.ee was also referenced as a violation.

It was listed as a forbidden platform.

Paul Graham's personal website was not listed as a forbidden platform.

* We can't infer from the policy that Paul Graham's personal website can't be linked to, or mentioned.

* We can't infer from the policy that merely talking about forbidden platforms (including Mastodon and Link Tree) is a violation, unless a link or a username is provided.

* Therefore, Paul G saying that he has a website with a Mastodon link on it isn't a violation of the policy.

Generalizing from LinkTree to any website is unwarranted.

Further, such a generalization effectively prohibits links outside Twitter (since Facebook can be reached from nearly every page out there via some sequence of clicks). But that's beside the point.
The government has been subsidizing home construction in the form of mortgage interest deduction, federally insured mortgages, and interest rates. None have helped solve the problem, which is simply that homes are not allowed to be built in areas they are desired. A developer can make a nice efficient design for an attractive building and then go through 3 years of reviews because of zoning and nimbyism and ultimately get nothing built. Solve zoning and housing affordability will massively improve.
My impression is Twitter handles traffic and complexity in a different magnitude than Netflix in the 2000. Internet usage was significantly smaller back then.

So he had no empathy for victims of stalking before, but once it happened to him, his opinion changed?

I don’t have “talking points”. I respected gay people before a close family member came out. I understand that many people in the world have lived experiences that I never will. And I try not to shoot my mouth off, and when I do, I apologize.

But that’s kind of the opposite of what’s going on here, right? He didn’t care that his new policies endangered people until it happened to him. Only being capable of empathy for yourself is not really something to celebrate.
This isn’t entirely honest, as Uber doesn’t have one monorepo, it has multiple. They never understood what Mono means lol.
Hey, I am glad you liked the grouping.

Thanks for pointing the imgur link. I wasn't aware of it but it looks really interesting.
You get partial transitions, like men taking estrogen to grow breasts, or getting implants, but then keeping their dicks intact. Or getting castrated but nothing else. Or having 'nullo' surgery where both the cock and balls are sliced off to leave a smooth patch of skin with a little urethral hole to piss out of. Or the 'Salmacian' approach, which is having a castration to free up the ballsack, so as to surgically construct something that looks like labia, to surround a cavity that's meant to mimic a vagina, while again not carving away the cock but keeping it intact.

There's all kinds of weird stuff people choose to do to their bodies, if they can find a willing surgeon to help.
And folks in the system may note that if folks lived close to or with their elderly parents many issues could be dealt with more easily.

You had authority (poa) but may have been seen as abdicating responsibility.

Ideas for folks who want to be active in parents lives.

Try to live close by. Free childcare when they are healthy. Even just weekly visits in assisted living w kids occasionally is game changing for parents quality of life.

Go big early on accessibility at home. Grab bars, walk in showers , shower bench etc etc . They will get used eventually.

Same with in home support. Try to get a relationship going w someone or agency early while parents have agency. One day a week, pay for something pt even etc. Can take going through a few to find a fit - some will be horrible and just after discharge not a great time to be sorting this all out. Just being in system for support can be a big win on things like hospital discharge.

Lots of challenges in all of this, but societal factors (living far away, work life balance etc) are a part of this, not just medical system.
To push it to the limit I recorded exactly the same recording with my phone microphone and my AT875R XLR shotgun. I did this because my phone microphone is poor and picks up a lot of echo. Results are as follows:

- If the microphone quality itself is bad, the enhanced audio is still pretty horrible.
- It does clean up echo but with there's some pretty aggressive EQ that doesn't sound nice, and the noise gate is pretty severe
- Compared to my XLR shotgun, the quality of the phone was pretty horrible

What we can conclude is that if you already have a good recording but with some problems, you might be able to use this to remove those problems. However, don't expect a crappy microphone to turn into a good microphone, or a crappy recording to turn into "studio quality".

The bottom line is that there's no substitute for a decent microphone in a decent space. (At the very minimum, small room without echo.)
There's a ~$90 million wildlife crossing that started construction earlier this year in Agoura Hills, CA [1] where apparently many mountain lions try to cross.

It wouldn't have helped P22 since there's many roads and freeways in the 30 miles between Griffith Park, where P22 lived, and Agoura Hills but there's some progress in helping mountain lions in the area.
