It must be fun to work somewhere where these Apple-only apps are actually used in a professional environment. Maybe at Apple itself or a small design shop or something.

> majority of trips

Majority of trips don’t exceed the capabilities of a Smart car. My CPU goes mostly unused. We don’t size for even the mean, but the realistically conceivable max (capability or capacity).

> Grid capacity

We struggle to support the demand for air conditioning and actively ask people to reduce their demand on the grid. Increasing demand by orders of magnitude seems inconceivable without a radical increase in generating capacity, which imposes a huge time constraint at the very least.

Again, I’m not arguing the direction, mostly just that the timeframe which to me seems a lot, lot longer than the popular representations.
Right. In Jami by default only the host of a conference/rendezvous-point will stream to/from all peers and mix their streams, and other peers normally only stream to/from the conference host. Also Jami can automatically adjust the call's bitrate on the fly depending on the link quality:

OK, I've never met a religious person who admitted to this as their base assumption, and I've talked to a lot of religious people (I run a weekly Bible study). It seems like a really weird thing to assume. But my experience is obviously not exhaustive.
Right, it's just one of these things that inexperienced people (or people coming from other languages) would get wrong, so no idea why they have this behaviour.

A lot of good info here. One thing to add is that in the end, a lot comes down to trust. A dilution aimed at screwing specifically you is unlikely. If you are joining a company where you have reasons to think that this might happen, find another company. It’s hard to get anything constructive done in such a low trust environment.
It's not, though. If the four corners are sharp, blue & red are not adjacent, nor are green & orange. You can re-paint blue to red and orange to green, and you're left with a proper 3-coloring. Alternately, if the grey pixel takes another color (say, red) so that blue, green and orange are all adjacent to it, then green & orange are not adjacent -- re-paint orange to green, and you get a 4-coloring. Finally, if the grey pixel is its own region, you're effectively back in the first case and you can paint it black to obtain a 3-coloring.
Facebook gave me 6 days to update my app and kicked me right before Christmas
Facebook disabled the ability for my customers to sign into my app via their Facebook account.

They had given me six days to add a Privacy Policy button into my app (my website has it, and my app's metadata has it, but apparently they require a button in the app UI itself, which I didn't have).

I told them I would add it, but I needed more time, as getting an app update out with only 6 days notice the week before Christmas is impossible (I have 5 apps that use Facebook login across 3 app stores, iOS/Android/Amazon).

They told me I could request an extension, which I did do multiple times, but the extension was not granted.

FWIW, if you're on a distro with a default GCC toolchain, it's pretty typical to use clang together with libstdc++. E.g. if you use clang on Fedora, you're using libstdc++ by default. You have to explicitly pass -stdlib=libc++ to use libc++ instead. So I wouldn't consider this a particularly unusual build configuration.

Of course, it's different on distros with a default Clang toolchain, like macOS, where building with anything but libc++ would be pretty unusual.
Yeah... any e-commerce system with significant volume's likely to end up with a deny-list for basically all these sorts of services. You lose one real order for every 1,000 fraud attempts, at worst. Easily worth it.

Similar reason lots of US servers used to (? still do ?) block entire IP blocks representing large parts of Asia. If 1% of your legit traffic is coming from those blocks, but 95+% of abuse, brute-force, and exploit attempts, it's a no-brainer to just blackhole them, unless you're at such a huge scale that 1% of legit traffic is still a very large number in absolute terms.

AMD Secure Memory Encryption “SME” Performance with 4th Gen EPYC Genoa
I do feel that I have "FU Skills", and probably have for a good 10+ years (I'm in my early 40s now).

However, getting jobs is more than that. Or, rather, getting and keeping a job is more than that, and that's where I worry I'm lacking sometimes. While I wouldn't flat-out say I don't work well with others, my patience has gradually gotten worse and worse over the years. At my last company, I think I likely developed a reputation as someone who preferred to isolate himself, someone who should be exempt from any established company processes (stuff I always felt hamstrung me), someone who prefers to just be given a thorny problem and then left alone, unaccountable, until it's done.

Certainly what I do (and how I prefer to work) can have value, but it has less and less value as a company grows and relies more on predictability and consistency to get work done.

Over the past year and half or so, a lot of the longer-tenured folks (including me) left the company I was working at. I've kept track of where a lot of my former colleagues have gone, including those who were (and still are) in management positions, and sometimes I question how many of those people would really want to hire me at their new company. While I do good work, I could see them thinking that I can be hard to work with at times, or that I might not mesh well with the rest of their team.

It's possible I'm coming down too hard on myself, and it's not that bad. But it's something to consider: having technical skills is great, but it's not the whole picture when it comes to being easily employable.

As to the root of your issue, the stress and anxiety when things are bad, I think the best thing to do is remove external control over your destiny. Live well within your means, and save as much money as you can. If you have enough savings so that being unemployed for a year or more isn't going to put a strain on your finances or require you to change your lifestyle, then that should reduce your anxiety level quite a bit.
That's amazing. It reminded me of Livermore, CA. They have a bike trail that follows a creek. Wherever it crosses a road (in most parts) the trail dips under the road. A few times every decade the creek floods making the trail there unusable, but I always appreciated being able to avoid the traffic as a kid.

> Non-grids extend the distance of a lot of trips and are thus hostile to slower non-motorized users. Driving an extra 500m is not a big deal for a car but is an additional several minutes for slower users.

I don't believe this is true. In fact iirc it has been proven that if you chose any random two points in a non-grid set up (eg, something like London) then the distance by road you have to travel is on average less than it would be in a grid.

This makes intutive sense to me - a grid always means you must travel the entire length of the "opposite and the adjacent" but in a non-grid you can typically find a route that's a bit closer to the hypotenuse and better optimised. So non-grids are particularly better for non-car users as they reduce distance travelled.

As well as that - travel is not typically between entirely random points on a map. In a non-grid roads tend to be optimised after their usage and not historically "planned" so you'll have lots of roads that directly go between areas of major popularity fairly directly.

I find grids to be an inhuman layer forced over a city. They make journeys take longer, they even make car journeys worse because of the endless intersections. The main advantage they used to have (easier navigation when you are a newbie in a city) seems to be made redundant by GPS these days.

I think this is always the wrong question, even when someone is maybe not going about their life in the best way. Framing it instead as something like "what could I be doing differently that might improve my situation in the way that I want long term?" is going to be more helpful.

Also (and this is probably controversial) I would assert there's an ethical problem with the question, in that it puts an a priori burden through assumption on someone (even hypothetical) who by definition is vulnerable. Again, it's just not the right way to approach the issue.

I've seen too much in my life to buy into the premise of a question phrased in this way; it would be asking me to ignore the obvious. The most successful people I know (and they are very successful in their fields by any definition) got there more by their surroundings and circumstance than anything else, and it happened in very obvious ways that I've seen tested in "natural experiments" of sorts (for example, where they move from setting A to B and back again for reasons that have nothing to do with them). Sure, if they were incompetent or unambitious or something they wouldn't be where they were, but when I think of others who are similarly competent and ambitious, the biggest differences I see are in the opportunities they were given, the social environments they are in, and weird quixotic dynamics of life and society.

One of the most frustrating things to me about this all is that if you tried to capture these things with some kind of simple description it would be impossible. Something that looks like an opportunity from the outside might actually be a really horrible catastrophe from the inside, or vice versa.

It's much easier to break something than to maintain and develop something optimally, and this goes for human lives as well. I wish we would focus more on the latter and less on blaming the broken for the former.
> comparing that to slavery is another hyperbole meant to evoke emotions?

I really don't think it is. Prop 13 turns non homeowners into wage slaves. It makes housing prohibitively expensive. It is a deeply unjust law. I'm not trying to make some case about the legality of forcing non homeowners to pay exorbitant amounts for housing, I'm saying it's morally and in many ways economically comparable to slavery, or at least serfdom.

I don't really think I ever moved the goalposts. My take was always that direct democracy leads to the majority shafting the minority and that's exactly what prop 13 does. It doesn't matter that the majority supports enriching themselves by taking money from the minority, it's a bad law for the state because it destroys economic value and is obviously unjust.

My impression with stiffness is can be annoying if once is not pushing hard in a criterium or something. I have a carbon/Alu frame and an old steel bike. The steel bike shields me from the imperfections of the road. For long rides that is ideal. Very interesting article.

Google "Missouri Compromise", "Fugitive Slave Laws", and "Bleeding Kansas" and you will have the context behind the US Civil War and Lincoln.

The earlier compromises meant that the US Congress had a delicate balance between slave-owning states and free states. As a result of the Mexican-American War, the USA will now have many new states to be added. If many new states became slave-owning states, that will permanently change the balance of power. If many new states became free states, that will permanently change the balance of power. With such high stakes, "Bleeding Kansas" will be repeated over and over again. When a newly incorporated state holds elections to determine free/slave, armed mobs of outside agitators will move in and perform street fighting. The "Fugitive Slave Laws" meant that if you were a sheriff in e.g., New York and believed that slavery was immoral, the law legally compelled you to aid slave hunters to hunt "fugitive" slaves. In reality, anyone who was not white could be chased down and captured, even if they were not slaves or recently emancipated. This happened in the northern free states. The South argued that they were fighting for states' rights and their southern heritage and way of life. It just happened that their way of life was entirely built on the backs and suffering of slaves.
