Ugh. ESLint-plugin-import, I should have known. Not at all surprising that a perf fix wouldn’t be prioritized there unfortunately.
Mostly negatively. The beautiful code that you produce by functional programming will always make you aware of how bad most programming languages are. I took Ocaml in university and I was completely and utterly blown away.

You just know deep down whenever you touch JS or some other language that there exists a better way of programming.

This sounds apocryphal. I don't doubt Yeltsin was impressed by his visit to the supermarket, but by 1989 the writing was more than on the wall for the demise of the USSR. I imagine it'd be more accurate to say that Yeltsin was excited by the prospects of a transformed economy, seeing the prosperity of the U.S. firsthand, rather than his visit being any kind of tipping point in the Soviet Union's downfall.

Anyway, Robin Williams predicted it all five years before Yeltsin's trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIcmoY3_lE
But where do you get legal flacs from for a price comparable to what one would pay for a service like spotify, qobuz or tidal? Long gone are the days I could exchange them with friends as none of them own any anymore...
Apology for an Old Email [pdf]
Yes, but another way to look at it is that the volume of successful strikes of the last few years are making the powers-that-be sweat a bit.

This feels like a sacrifice play to me. I'm sure that the cost of improving wages, hours, and benefits so as to retain staff is a lot less than improving all those things plus the overall cost to the business and/or economy of a strike.
Then I guess framing it in the most inflammatory way possible doesn’t make it more bad either, right?

I'm guessing that is only some portion of the audience, whereas I would suspect the network effect is the dominant term. Trying to push uphill against the cookbooks, road signs, local weather reports, etc is like trying to maintain one language in your head while the rest of the _local_ world is another language. Certainly possible, but is questionable use of that glucose

I had never heard of "anti-metric vigilantes" like TFA discussed, but hopefully those are just some fringe jokers designed to get article clicks, and not a serious movement
An anecdote is data. Whether or not it influences you or another person is another topic. I have never heard of the face ticks but I do experience them as a part of Tourette's Syndrome.

My Tourette's after the vaccine was absolutely miserable. Then I get harassed for having a non-visible exception.

Covid vaccines are not for everyone. Good luck finding a doctor who will tell you the truth though.
To give them the benefit of the doubt, you could imagine a situation where they are sending messages that are always PGP encrypted to some process that decrypts them automatically.

Sometimes they want to send a plain text message, except have the receiving tool still unconditionally "decrypt" it and not, for example, give an error that it is not a PGP message.

Maybe it's a bit of a stretch.

But it's not too dissimilar to compression formats that have non compressed blocks, e.g. deflate's non compressed blocks or zstandard raw blocks.
Their purpose is more for incompressible data or very small data, but can be (mis)used to have uncompressed data that can be "decompressed" by a standard tool the same as any normal compressed data.

> I think it is easy to link the logic and thus contributing to the conversation in a meaningful way has a lower barrier for entry.

It's two words. The problem is that it's too easy to link it to multiple, different arguments.

As a more extreme example, if I say "Well, except..." that is a bad comment even if people can fill in the blank with stuff.

True transparency had only just become possible around then thanks to Compiz, so default themes generally wouldn't have it. However, even outside of transparency, look at e.g. how much crystal glare and reflections all the icons have.
Yes, I use data attributes all over! It lets me keep certain data and certain states in the DOM, and I can actually use querySelector to... you know, do a query based on data attribute values. I've met many devs who didn't know that CSS queries can actually string match within the values of attributes! (i.e. [attribute~="value"] and the other variations)

My first job was at a Network Operations Center, and it was just like in the movies, with a big projection monitor, two network operators at terminals below, and above us were four analog clocks depicting the four main time zones of these United States. They were electric, and I guess they were battery-powered because of the lack of cords going everywhere.

When Daylight Savings Time began, I sauntered in about 9am and my coworkers were filtering in too. The morning guy, "Matt" had been there since about 6am and he had changed the clocks. So my other coworker, "Jason" congratulated Matt for setting all the clocks correctly and then he asked him, "so did you do it by setting all four clocks ahead one hour, or did you move them all to the left and then move the Pacific clock to the Eastern position?" Facepalm!

That might be a good job interview question, or it would have been if manual, analog clocks were still a thing.

I can see the AI being better than most human at that job very soon. Just like programming, it’s not perfect, but it’s already a force multiplier.

There is going to be huge competition in the field in 2023. It’s a new gold rush and I don’t think openAI has much stopping others.

And outstreams where not that bad, aswell. Sure, the operator overloading looks a bit rough. But that's IMHO a pragmatic choice if you want to offer customisation points and didn't have variadic functions yet. They where introduced only in c++11.
It would be far more equitable and cleaner to vote the conservative minority holding the country hostage into oblivion. All we need to do is convince everyone to ignore all irrelevant distractions like gun rights and abortion, and vote in their personal economic interests. If everyone would only and always do that, no Republican would ever hold office again, economic advancement would occur, and the economy would boom.

Installing good insulation is also really important even if you're not using heat pumps! With bad insulation, you're wasting energy no matter what technology you're using.

> We are living in a developed world with working infrastructure.

You're welcome, we bombed all your infrastructure into oblivion about 80 years ago, now it's all new! And also, your country is quite a lot denser than North America, so you can bury every single power cable (though you don't, obviously) and if you think -10C is cold, just wait until you see what much of North America experiences during the winter.
There's so much more to a smart watch than a fully-customizable watch face.

Data Types with Negation
This is the salient point here. Despite the data showing effectiveness of vaccines, all it takes is one personal connection to have a negative response to make me swear to never take one again. Much like this user, I think the pandemic was a blessing in disguise to show me who the real free thinkers are, and who is simply a sheep following what others say is best.

This was a very strange article to read - and the author felt a bit over the top apologetic to me. What excites me about Mastodon is its open nature and more decentralized community feel. Feels like the kind of place that you can still "discover" and "stumble" onto things. Experimentation is very much a core tenant of that - the idea that you'd leverage open protocols but try to police them like a walled garden feels backwards. What a let down.

A ventilation system allows you to filter (not a luxury when you live in a big city, where you will be breathing pollutants otherwise) or perform some thermal magic if the outside air is very cold (or very warm), by running the outflow and inflow pipes really close to each other.

Where I live, it can get very cold. Not always very efficient to open windows for 5 months out of the year.

A great option for keeping CO2 levels down in a house is with an HRV (or ERV) [1] that will heat the fresh air coming in to cycle it throughout the house.

Yeah, something about a person who can still haul around luggage going to a hospice doesn't work for me. Hospices are usually the last stop for the bedridden, not the doomed-but-ambulatory. I'm no expert, of course...

Also, the "not taking a fare" aspect is just, eh. You're okay explaining the hours of mileage to your company? "She was a nice old lady... And she needs some spending money in the afterlife."
In Linux you want powercap tools. You can tune all three parameters in terms of power and time constant, so you can do exactly what you suggest. You can change it on the fly without rebooting so you could have a ridiculous setup like mine where I have the power limits wired up to two unused buttons on my mouse.
On the west coasts of Canada (BC) we've had insane forest fires the past few years and you 100% want to filter the internal air when it's extremely unhealthy outside. We're talking air quality index in the 300+ range or off the charts at times [1]. Plus, we've had these heat domes were it's in the high 30+ and just gross inside, where you really want to open the windows, but you're letting in tons of pollution. Basically, you need to cool off and filter the air at the same time.

This is fascinating! Is it possible to do this while utilizing the well for drinking water? I would assume so - it would just go through the condenser to exchange heat before being used elsewhere, and less would be pumped back down to the well?

I forgot where I read this, but I'll paraphrase: it's easier to work with 10 objects with 1000 applicable functions than with 1000 objects with 10 methods each.

In Haskell or other typed fp languages, you have all these well-recognized and well-used typeclasses and their attached methods, conceptually equivalent to generic interfaces in c#/java. It's easier to adapt new data structures into these interfaces and have all your existing functions immediately work with them.

The "mathematics" part here is that these typeclasses are backed by category theory that prescribes their behaviors.

There are plenty of random readings you can find, so I won't recommend them. Someone's bound to argue with me on what's a better entrypoint.

I do want to note that you don't need to use haskell or an fp language to use these concepts. Example: a complete set of fp data structures in typescript https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/. It's just that fp languages make using them much easier because of their type system.
Addition is easy, DAC is relatively easy, but ADC is not.
Damn, that was a good read. Thanks for sharing. It's rare to reevaluate ourselves and to see ourselves in a new light, and it sounds like you got a solid, grounded experience that has since anchored your perspective towards one of appreciation for what you/we have. Pretty cool gift.
This isnt about assuming somebody has nefarious ends in mind, its about what data becomes available and what power you give somebody with that.

I am saying the data you are creating during usage will at some point become useable this way. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this only starts to work well once you allow for memorizing earlier conversations. Which means the product here is the chatbot + your personalized configuration.

Think about how your search pattern and internet usage is currently used to personalize advertisements and recommendations of stuff that is tailored for engagement. Which already went as far as influencing your decision to vote. This is a lot more powerful because it doesnt just categorize you into groups that got split-tested for reactions but allows for learning your values, shortcomings and decision making process. In essence you are explaining why you think what and what your weak points are. I find it hard to ignore the overlap to where the work on IBMs Watson led to a few years ago. Though in a positively framed manner with Juliane Gallinas "Patton in your pocket", a tool to aid peoples process. In the end its both operations in the information space that can be used to aid or exploit your thinking.

Brainwashing is a loaded term but thats what propaganda is. Its framing things in a way to get predictable reactions out of you and have your cognitive biases defend those reactions. We are talking a lot about miss- and dissinformation, but the missing context is a lot more powerful, especially when its used with cognitive biases that have you for example be very loyal to the first point of view you encountered and identified with on an issue.

What a journal bot is is a tool you use to help you with the shortcomings in your sense making and decision making process which is weighted for what you value. Giving that information away to a centralized entity is placing a lot of trust in that entity overcoming the economic incentives to use that data in an economically beneficial way. With the lines between economically beneficial and politically beneficial being very easy to cross.

In short, I find training a personalized crowbar for your brain and giving it away to whoever highly irresponsible.

edit: Framing it as brainwashing is an unfortunate but good example. It creates another reaction then using terms like influencing. You are likely to have an adversarial reaction due to you being smart and your brain not being up for any washing. Framing creates grooves people get caught up in with cognitive biases acting as inertia and gravity towards the grooves.

> The data we have suggests that people with your opinion -- "people want RTSes just about the strategy, not about control" -- are dead wrong. The most enduringly popular RTSes are mechanically demanding games: StarCraft 2, Age of Empires 2, StarCraft 1.

I think this data suggests the opposite. These titles are all more than a decade old. They have endured, but the genre has died. People often find it really compelling to get into these games and do the singleplayer stuff. The multiplayer experience didn't live up to that. Limited strategic choices and a demanding micro are not what most people liked when they first entered the genre.

There are some indie titles that seem to understand this.
Professoring can pay fairly well in the right field (and surprisingly low in the wrong one), but in general I haven't known of many I'd call rich.
I’m exactly the same. Looking forward to it.
This hit me right in the feels. Decades ago I was a paperboy whose route included an old age home. I'll never forget that place - it was a soul-less 50's 4-story building that stank of strong disinfectant. It was unnerving, even for a somewhat clueless kid. I was very into WWII airplanes and struck up a friendship with a former pilot who shared his stories and gave me a few photos. He was a very nice man and I remember thinking how sad I was he was alone. I'm a lot closer to that age now and it still breaks my heart.

How do you move the heated/cooled air into/around the house without ducts?
100W is also my observed sweet spot on C++ project build times. At 100W I got the minimum build time. At higher limits the cpu draws more power indeed but the build takes just as long.
Do you have some proof of the difference? I have only seen incorporated to mean cities and unincorporated to mean the parts of counties outside of cities. The status of the county doesn’t make any difference.

You might be seeing a difference since California doesn’t have many unincorporated suburbs like other states do. I think the reason is that it is easy for cities to annex adjacent areas, and for areas that don’t want to annexed to incorporate. The result is medium towns, especially in urban areas, end up incorporated.
Check out Purism's Librem 5. It's extremely expensive for the specs you get, but for me personally, the peace of mind is worth it.

They also have a "made in USA" version (though the case is made in China and the wifi chip is made in India). It's even more expensive, and I certainly don't trust that USG/IC hasn't attempted to backdoor this either - we know a lot of ARM processors have the TrustZone, which is very similar to ME/PSP (I believe an ARM TrustZone core is actually how PSP is implemented), but the lead time is much shorter.

Buying goods in one country and selling them at a premium in another is the basis of international commerce. If you can't turn a profit why export?

the issue is there actually wasn't a low-risk arbitrage opportunity at such ridiculous (7%) annual premiums and at such scale, and even if there were it's not what they were doing.

I'd go far as to say most the people gaining from these guaranteed high interest schemes probably knew they were fraud or part of nasty victim involved crime and then they got botthurt when they found out they weren't the smart ones and pulled out too late.
Thank you for the tips, I will give them a shot.
I think he means having a duct work for the whole house for a central heat pump is good. But having a heat pump per zone is also good if you don't have ducts for the whole house. Some newer home designs separate heating and cooling from the air exchange systems so there are multiple zones of heating and cooling.

Hi all, I'm looking for a woodworking book that teaches you through experiments. Also a book that will help with purchasing tools and materials.
