I think "NT", here, should more accurately read "the Wintel platform". NT bringing a "modern GUI" to DOS computers (as well as some RISC systems) and intel retaking some of the high end previously lost to Sun, Silicon Graphics, DEC, etc.
So yes: price, primarily.
ipython can handle this situation fine, however, cl repl leaves ipython in the dust for more complex programs

also python is fine when all you are after is the end result. however if you try to understand what is going on at a deeper level in your program you will quickly discover that python is just a front end to some "black box" (how black it is will depend on your understanding of python's ffi, c, c++, fortran)

There are definitely reasons to fear the reaper.

When we go return to where we came from before our birth it simply means the absence of consciousness. In this universe, you can either be conscious or not. There is something mysterious and magical about this phenomenon that seemingly differentiates our lives from simpler or even single celled organisms which seem more like biological robots.

It may very well be that the next time a consciousness manifests and forms a 'you' from 'the place before birth' you may as well be born as a cow, shackled in the darkness among feces. Kept from the warmth of your mother with cold metal spikes attached to her udder, ripping open the young flesh of your nose when you seek its nourishment.

How many times did we wake up yet from this 'place before birth'? How likely is it to be born as human among the conscious life forms on Earth? Nevermind being born as healthy human in the developed world in the 21st century.

Between the clear dry science and the mysterious wonder of a perception of 'self' and being consciously aware I just feel dizzy about it all.
Computer:

- tmux
- fish

These two have become part of my terminal muscle memory, and I've got nothing to complain about them. Not saying that they are perfect, but for my use case, everything works reliably.

- Zoxide

A sort of keyword based `cd`, I guess. So useful that I've rarely `cd` these days.

- Jellyfin

Very happy about it. I used to make little python servers to serve mp4 files for my phone to play, but Jellyfin is miles better. And I don't have to worry about video codec.

- Caddy

As someone who never fully outgrown my confusions about nginx's configurations, caddy is such a helpful alternative.

Phone apps:

- Libby

Access to libraries for ebooks and audiobooks. My favorite phone app.

- Tuner

This one specifically (cause there are a million tuner apps out there): https://github.com/thetwom/Tuner

Use it daily for tuning my violin. Clean, readable interface. It works reliably and is Free, free, and ad-free.
And Delphi also adds the terminating null, so interacting with C-style APIs is quick, as there's no explicit conversion needing to happen before passing it as a "C string".
I don't know anything about hang gliding but, has there been a culture shift since this article was published in 1998? e.g. the things he describes like breaking a downtube on landing (or crashing as he says), is that considered not-normal now? What has changed in the past 24 years?
> What we do know is that being fit and exercising with some semblance of healthy eating helps people live a lot longer.

No, abstaining from things like alcohol and smoking mostly does that.

Exercise and healthy eating markedly improves quality of life at old age, but it doesn’t extend it by huge amounts.

Traditional Unix workstation vendors made a bet for Itanium and against their own architectures, so in the late 90s / early 2000s their investment into their archs became minimal. But Itanium flopped and the Dotcom bubble burst. The latter impacted Sun a lot. At the same time x86 kept improving massively, mostly pushed by AMD, which also put AMD64/x86-64 in the market by the mid 2000s. Also in the same time frame nVidia and ATI created monolithic GPUs which started to perform better than the proprietary GPUs by SGI and HP. The last Unix workstations from HP actually had ATI or maybe nVidia COTS GPUs.

All these factors together largely eliminated Unix workstations from most of their native markets (3D visualization, CAD, CAE, media) so that category of system just ceased to exist in the mid 2000s.
I returned my $4000 LG TV after 2 years of use, as they suddenly tried to force me to agree to a new set of T&Cs and privacy policy. I called them and they told me that there's no way for me to continue using the TV without agreeing. Incredibly illegal (in my country), but I doubt most people notice or care.
I didn't even notice until I read this comment, uBlock Origin (on Firefox) does a really good job of getting rid of the ads.
That's unfortunate situation. It happened to me once before (though, we was using AWS that time. And, I believe the cost was smaller than the one you have right now).

What we did to recover the cost was to contact the account manager for our region at the time. So, maybe you could have better luck trying to find the particular person in linkedin. Or, have you tried opened a ticket from Azure console?

Nonetheless, I hope after everything has been settled down, you won't fire anyone (and treat it as learning opportunity)

Yeah, I should make a list of our dependencies and petition the bosses to give a shout-out in public to open source software and the debt we owe them, then get a budget for timed donations to all of those projects.

I mean for example, the back-end systems gave way after a doubling of requests (energy company). As a result, they spun up projects to improve performance, on the one side by enhancing the existing (commercial, expensive) systems, on the other to replace these existing systems with newer ones.

One thing they already achieved is to run API endpoints on lambdas, doubling performance (at least, I'm sure more can be achieved yet) and slashing costs by a factor of 60. While the lambdas are AWS proprietary, those too I'm sure use tons of open source software.
If others do the same, you could spent more time with people you know than you can now!
> what was the real story?

Some of the grittier truth may be about political expediency of taming
"knights". Monty Python caricatures aside, until (and beyond) the
Templars, many were marauding bands of privateers looting their way
around Europe. Sending them off to do God's work while letting them
play at "banking" the spoils was probably a neat solution to not
having a standing army, but still keeping a cadre of loyal
battle-hardened dudes on a string.

When their use expired, as maturing nation states found them less
convenient, King Philip IV ordered them rounded up (apocryphally on
Friday 13th) in a betrayal I think George Lucas adapted as the fate of
The "Jedi".

Yes, it happens, and we love to see it here when it does. But I'm not sure that really qualifies what appears to be musings as anything beyond that.
>Imagine people crashed their car every day but “meh just needs a new bumper!”

People do crash their cars every day, and they do a lot worse than damage the bumper. 42,000 people died on US roads last year. It's the biggest and deadliest example of "normalization of deviance". American and Canadian transport planners simply refuse to follow international best practices for roadway safety.
I read the article, then immediately Ctrl-F'ed this forum for 1984. Here's a hug.
This wisdom was already the topic of cartoons, books and movies 30+ years ago. If you attach 'Elon Musk' to a quote it immediately becomes relevant to some gullible people, it's truly amazing.

To add some good mood, I stole a comment from reddit [1] which describes one of millions of media dealing with this question:

> In The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series, immortality is fine if you're born that way. It's only if you accidentally obtain it after an accident with a few rubber bands, a liquid lunch, and a particle accelerator is it a bad thing that you are not equipped to deal with and so decide to insult everyone in the universe in alphabetical order.

I bought Amiga Forever a few years ago in order to get the Kickstart ROMs that I needed to play some games in FS-UAE on my Mac. Trying to actually get the content onto my Mac was more painful than I'd anticipated. "To install the stuff you've just bought, just double click this .msi installer". Heh, thanks.

(I can't remember what I did in the end but I did manage to get the Kickstart ROMs into my Mac.)

EDIT: typo.
You are right to feel that way, and I think it helps to picture what life was like when the term showed up. These days we take it as almost an immutable fact that cars are on roads, and people are wherever else they can fit. But back then (1910s) streets in city centers were still commonly unsealed dirt roads. While cars were starting to get popular, they still moved at walking pace, and people using roads were still a mix of adults and kids just walking about, bikes, horse drawn buggies or carts. Looking back at photographs from the time you notice that the roads are just full of foot traffic, they weren't crossing the road, the road was how they got around.

But cars were getting faster and more dangerous, and it was no longer compatible to have mixed traffic. Rather than ban cars from cities, we convinced people that actually, it was the car's road afterall and you shouldn't have been there!

During that time the term jay walking came about, and it was used to paint the pedestrians as the one's getting in the way of the automobile driver, rather than it being the automobile that was out of place. If we use a very cynical lens, and I think we should, it was a essentially a marketing campaign from automobile makers.

Yes, I did notice that replies to your post were blaming cookies and some incorrect assumptions - hence I wanted to put the time in writing this post separately.

To further validate our assumptions - try to use google maps daily for at least 2 weeks while in Seattle using that exit IP. Logic tells me that it should update once more to the new location (I'd think it's unlikely to be a once off update due to the dynamic nature of IP).

It's possible that they're positioning the $4000 Mac Studio as the replacement for the entry-level $6000 Mac Pro, and the $10,000+ Apple Silicon Mac Pro is a replacement for the upmarket SKUs.

If the M2 Extreme is to the M2 Ultra what the M1 Ultra is to the M1 Max, namely that it's just two chips pasted together, then the M2 Extreme might start with 128 GB of RAM (Max: 32 GB, Ultra: 64 GB). That alone is a $1000+ upgrade to the current Mac Pro.
4) No. If you are not engaged in risky activity, that is to say:

If you are riding

a) a safe commuter bicycle [1]

b) at safe commuter speeds [2]

c) on a safe separated/protected bike lane [3]

d) That is kept maintained in a safe state for the current weather

You probably don't need a helmet.

5) Yes, In other situations, you might want to consider it. [4][5]

I'm sure you will get many contributions to your project if you refuse people with the wrong distribution from contributing.
Fair enough. Point taken.

But how many have had the unpleasant experience? The first reference to such is a paper by Nancy bush and Bruce Greyson, which opens the study thus: "The great majority of near-death experiences (NDEs) reported publicly over the past four decades have been described as pleasant, even glorious. Almost unnoticed in the euphoria about them has been the sobering fact that not all NDEs are so affirming. Some are deeply disturbing."[0]

So most are positive, a minority are deeply disturbing. The overarching purpose here was not however to paint any potential afterlife i glowing terms, it was to highlight the fact that there seems to be a widely (probably under-)reported process that we humans experience when we die. Which seems relevant in a discussion about cryogenics.

Mandatory not an expert disclaimer, but as far as I understand, OLED screens only light up individual pixels when needed (which means there's no backlight under the screen).

When displaying pure black (I guess that's only #000000, but I could be wrong), the pixels displaying it remain off, so those pixels would use no battery (since they're off)
I have. It is a heat-activated colouring added to the filters to make smokers believe the filters actually do something.

The latter is complete poppycock.
It doesn't… people use a million different distributions. Forcing everyone to use a single version of black means that people will just not bother with your project.

The authors of black just don't understand that it'd be ok to introduce new rules to format new syntax, but it isn't ok to just change how previous things work.
>nobody will ever bother working on how to salvage the crudely frozen/vitrified.

I disagree, I think salvaging them will be of tremendous historical interest. Imagine if we could bring back a peasant from the 1400s. Medieval scholars would be all over that.
I agree with you in that context and use matter. Just as I disagree with blanket banning words, I also disagree with the "words don't matter" reaction. Neither approach make sense to me.
It's just like I always say: class warfare is a dish best served cryogenically frozen.
The energy needed to move millions to a different planet is enormous with current physics. So, until you solve that, the obsession with Earth is not toxic, it's realistic.
It was not always like that. It's the current generation. Old generations had more reasonable pricing.

It's slimy, but per the legal definition, it isn't gambling.

Should it be illegal? personally, I think if it's targetted at children then yes.
"It"? I don't think so. It is "they".

> I could not see the person; [he,she,they, not "it"] was/were hidden in shadow.
> I absolutely let Black change code and see the value in Black that it does that so the devs do not have to spend time on manually formatting code

100% this. I also let Black auto-format code in the CI and commit these formats.

A lot of developers, intentionally or not, don't have commit hooks properly setup. If Black doesn't change the code in CI they need to spend another cycle manually fixing the issues that Black could have just fixed for them.

You're saying that there's a risk that Black could break your code when formatting? Well, so could developers and I'd trust a machine to be less error-prone.

(Not Op) Yes. The task is specific but not all that unusual. In a world where startups seem to exist to solve every conceivable problem (including ridiculous “problems” that nobody has), it’s always interesting to find something that isn’t nearly solved.
I'm not sure if the rules were the same as far back as then, but the modern rule (or rules, plural, as they're a consequence of several rules) that a bank (either the drawee bank or an intermediate paying/depository bank, depending on the circumstances) is liable for a fraudulently cashed check has existed for centuries, IIRC. And just like today, it doesn't much matter if an impersonator forged a payee's or endorsee's signature, amount, etc; a bank is still on the hook. (And IIRC a bank is liable only upon a prima facie showing of forgery, as opposed to whatever stronger burden of proof would normally adhere.) Of course, the defrauding party is liable to which ever bank was on the hook, but the rules operate to rather clearly make a bank strictly liable in the first instance so there's minimal confusion in the banking system regarding settlements or settlement disputes, and the drawer (person who wrote the check) is the most protected of all.

This incentivizes banks to "know your customer" (long before modern regulatory regimes), as well as for banks to only deal with other reputable banks. In legal jurisdictions that do a lot of international commercial transactions, rules such as these are typically held paramount unless specifically and clearly overridden by local law. Relatedly, jurisdictions that don't abide the so-called Lex mercatoria tend not to become centers of international commerce.

If the drawer weren't strongly protected, the utility of checks would severely diminished.
First cheaper hardware, and later simply better performance. I worked at a small animation studio around 1999-2003 and the sudden price/performance improvement that Windows on Intel + Nvidia all of a sudden offered was unlike any I've seen since. A Geforce 2 Ultra and dual Pentium IIIs stomped all over our SGI workstation at most workloads, at less than quarter of the price.

Plus since virtually all the animators used Windows at home and where very comfortable with it, the need for support and hand-holding was much less than with Irix.
> I am in favor of inclusion

How have we arrived at a point where we have to make such defensive statements when no offense was ever intended? Isn't it upon those wanting to change the language to defend their arguments and bring forward thorough evidence that the intended changes will justify the costs (along with an analysis of what the real costs are)? And do we believe that we can create a language that can still work for meaningful communication while simultaneously ensuring that no one can possibly ever be offended?
Timers are very common in Asia. But the countdown timers for Green to Yellow could be dangerous as most people seeing the timer about to be zero from far and speeds up instead of slowing down. Recently many of the traffic signals in my city have removed countdown timers for Green to Yellow and has kept timer only for Red to Green change.

In theory, yes. Which brings us to the question of liability in the case of hacking.

On the one side, if you got hacked to that degree - root account, MFA, e-mail, etc - you really fucked up, to be very blunt.

On the other, it's down to Microsoft to provide good security and protections - e.g. spending limits, with a "contact us" and mandatory waiting period if you're about to go e.g. 10x over what you normally pay.

Banks (at least here) offer you a kind of insurance; if you get hacked, they can lock your account and return you your money. Their reasoning there is that they messed up and didn't make it obivious enough that you're about to, for example, send X amount of money away. (this is one reason why cryptocurrencies will never replace banks)

Both of you these are objective. You can think you are insignificant or you can think that you are part of the big bang which is still happening. It's just narration and if it makes no practical difference (as it would seem in these cases), everybody can choose whatever makes him feel better, there is no need to put down the other narration.

This "theoretical exercise" was developed by whom? Keeping in mind the FBI has seized the laptop 10 months earlier, so clearly knew what was on the laptop.
