Spotify sleep timer seems gone on Android
Since today, the Spotify sleep timer is not available anymore on Android app.
It sure does have a mental and physical cost.
That’s why eBay exists.

If you trade in your old BMW, you’ll get less $ than if you sold privately, but you’d also have less hassle.
Enjoy your time off. Keep us posted. I hope you'll find something more fulfilling when you will feel the urge to get back at earning money.

My only humble suggestion is to write a journal of your experience being "off the rat race". And maybe share some of it.

Good luck.
The base site also has the Rider publications "basic electronics" and "basic electricity" from the 50s, which have many nice illustrations.

Sure, I was suggesting that what the OP is asking for is not what Rust does, but what Swift does. This is not a configuration thing, if you don't want a runtime exception on overflow, you must use a different arithmetic operator.

Swift's behavior comes at a cost - it is not exactly the fastest language out there ;) Another no-overflow oddity is that Swift doesn't have a rand() equivalent. You can't get fast psuedorandom numbers in Swift unless you are on the Mac, in which case you can import GameplayKit and get gaming-appropriate pseudorandom numbers.

EDIT - to be clear, I am not suggesting that anyone change their own chosen programming language. But if you'd like, install Swift on your dev machine and make a Swift implementation of the critical section of your Rust code. Debug, optimize, tweak, etc. And you'll get a pretty good idea of what kind of performance you have to give up to do what many people are asking :)
Given that Zeihan used to work at Stratfor the similarity in arguments and style are not surprising.
I wouldn't call the style hyperbolic exactly but there is definitely a pattern of undue certainty, sweeping conclusions and geographic/demographic determinism. Entertaining for sure. Makes you feel like you're in a top secret briefing room.

> Anyone with access to the VPN servers could spy on all of your traffic, completely bypassing Tor.

Hmm, can you explain how this could possibly be true? I think the VPN couldn't see any more than your ISP could have.
Economic sanctions is an external action. Tariffs are a thing that exist. It's not by any means "repression", so please don't make the argument lame by taking it there.
In the same vein, Michael Flynn went from being a US Army lieutenant general to a foreign agent lobbying for governments like Turkey.
Of course, Apple doesn't use Nemix sticks either. Does Nemix get the same binned chips that SK Hynix uses in their namesake brand?

The cheapest name brand is this, $19,000+ for 1.5TB:

They don't, because you're using java.util.concurrent when you need data structures that deal with concurrency.

I miss java.util.concurrent terribly when I have to program in any other language. I don't miss Java, but I weep every time I need the equivalent of ConcurrentHashMap or CopyOnWriteArrayList in another language.

Meh when I see that we are barely able to stop the growth of fossile fuel usage ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_cons... ), I'm not sure why peoples are so optimistic.

And it's not like Enr and other suggestion you propose will not need insane amount of ressource extraction.

Heat pump usually need a well insulated home, just isolating all the needed house in the next 25 years is probably a challenge itself between cost and having enough workers. And it's not like there was an article last week on electrician shortage ...

That's not my experience for almost any recent (last decade) laptop I've owned (or used for work). They pretty much live tied to a charger, but I occasionally move them. Some battery degradation but all had decent battery for 5+ years. Note: all of them were Macs.
Also, if your data is binary-heavy, protobufs will give you better bandwidth and storage cost than JSON.
In the past, you had to pay Ebay fees and Paypal fees, and shipping. Did that 15% include the payment processing? I do think their fess are too high, but they are well within the normal range for marketplaces.
Funny you're mentioning that. I've got a relative who counters onset of asthma by smoking, though with very light tobacco and long, thin filters, and on demand only.

I do similar things after eating, because I seem to have varying intolerances against the foods which are common now. Making my nose run, sometimes going to the eyes, giving me tears, over to coughing, and in more rare cases even constricting my throat. All that is going away instantly after a few draws of a selfmade small cigarette with long thin filter, exhaling the smoke through the nose.

Furthermore I don't wan't to lose the ability to smoke light weed from time to time, without coughing and spitting fits :-)
Just because your enemy wears heavy armor doesn't mean you should be naked.
This is exactly the kind of unserious flamery I was talking about. And it's simply out of control on this site. Get a ride, is all I can say. It may not be as fun as yelling about it on the internet, but you'll get a much better idea of the capabilities of this technology, and probably have a ton of fun while you do.
Same. Just don't give apps all of the permissions. TikTok doesn't have access to my camera, photo library, microphone, local network, location, etc. It's not that hard.

If you heard Microsoft just did 11k layoffs and then you got a job offer from them how does that sound to you ? To me it sounds like I could be in the next round if I get hired on the wrong team.
> Is blocking websites on the european eduroam allowed? I suppose it is ...

It is, unfortunately. Its up to each institution to decide their own network policy.

Eduroam suggests (or at least, did in the past) that the policy should be as permissive as possible, but most institutions block a metric fuckload of shit.

The only network wide blocking suggested is 25/TCP last time I checked, to prevent spam.

Well, at least we know writing jobs at the National Review will be safe for a while.
I think you misread. Autopilot is the glorified lane centering.
It's also the business model of Google, Meta, Microsoft, and dozens of tech companies that are used everyday by users here without batting an eye. What is your point?
I had a similar experience in 2008. I was an Air Force helicopter pilot stationed at Andrews Air Force Base just outside DC. I got a last-minute assignment to show a new copilot some of our operating sites on the north side of DC. One of those sites was Camp David. I read through the NOTAMS but didn't notice that the large restricted area around Camp David was active that day because the president was there. So we totally busted through the outer restricted area and the Secret Service wanted my head. They launched a helicopter to chase me away, and they almost launched the F-16s at Andrews. I almost lost my wings. It was a bad day.
It is Apple’s fault, but the EU’s DMA will force Apple to allow alternative engines. However this raises many doubts:
- Will Apple just allow every browser in the App Store or they’ll manage to use side load (which they’ll also be forced to allow) as the only way to comply? (Probably not legal but i expect them to try, would vastly limit an App’s user base as demonstrated by Android).
- In the best scenario, wich is Apple letting Mozilla put the full Firefox in the App Store, would they be interested at all to port Gecko to iOS?
Please make it available in Central Europe, that is awesome!
> Most developers at FANGS can be replaced with mediocre devs in iowa or India. They will cut high-priced salaries soon and replace them with entry-level talent.

Software companies have been trying this for 30 years and it has never worked.
You can just say that Chinese nationals without residency in the US can’t own land. Canada did something similar for foreigners and the legal defensibility of it seemed pretty good based on lawyers talking about it.

Basically, you can say (in legalese) that X group can’t be the controller of the land. They can open trusts or LLCs or whatever… but it’s transitive so their trust can’t name them as the beneficiaries and their LLCs can’t honor them as shareholders.
Speaking for sorbet - no compilation step is a feature, not a bug. Imagine adding some kind of build step to every ruby app out there! Sorbet annotations are just valid ruby code you add to your files (you don't need to write separate type files - the sorbet system might do this for you though).

Sorbet also provides a gradual typing system where you can start adding types to a large code base and gradually make the checking more strict. Stripe claims to be using it on a huge ruby code base and that their developers generally like it.

However I think many devs don't want static types on Ruby. We like our duck typing!
I've also read that you'd never color-grade a Hollywood blockbuster on their monitor.
> Note that I cannot get chatgpt to write about why Donald Trump is terrible as well.

I asked chatgpt to write a tweet praising Trump. It declined out of respect for political neutrality. I then asked it to write a tweet praising Joe Biden. It happily complied.

I repeated this two more times with alternate Democrat and Republican politicians, and the same pattern emerged.
No, that’s how every politician sees things. If you think this is only done by conservatives, you have some fundamental blind spot about things done by liberals which are explicitly designed to hurt the other team. Until you learn to understand the conservatives, you’ll forever be mystified why the partisanship in this country grows and why compromise is becoming harder and harder to attain.
Municipal buses are parked in depots overnight, right? That would kind of make sense - they already have to own the land for that, the vehicles already have to stay there in specific conditions, etc.
> unfortunately, there cannot be enough batteries made to support this.

Why do you say this? It contradicts what everyone in the industry thinks.

There are no material shortages for the materials used in lithium batteries, and there are several alternative chemistries under active development, that are at least two of cheaper, more durable, or higher power-to-weight than lithium.
This is Americans saying they would lose. They just can’t actually say it.

In the scenarios, the success of the ground battle in Taiwan depends almost entirely on Taiwan’s forces.

Doesn't sound too discouraging in a world where plucky Ukraine is winning against its big bad neighbour. But, as will become clear to everyone later this year, that is not the world we live in.
(I'm a designer at Plus) It wasn't our intention to look specifically like Gumroad, but some of the visual patterns are definitely similar. This aesthetic is making the rounds right now: https://bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/the-neubrutalism-or-neo-brutali...

We were looking for something that felt approachable and fun, magical but not mysterious. After trying a bunch of different things, this is where we landed.
Not necessarily. We know for example that Twitter was a key source of training data for GPT and there is also clear evidence that tweets were heavily curated by a team that was pretty significantly left of center.
One thing to keep in mind is that Japan could easily develop nuclear weapons. They are banned by the constitution and unpopular with the people but that could change if US withdrew protection and were under threat from China. Japan has the largest stockpile of plutonium in the world.
Do you think this because this is what our media portrays as the opinions of the general population or because there is hard data to back that statement up that you can share?
My naive interpretation of `defmacro` is passing data into a function to return another function. From my python POV that would be the same as returning a callable from a function (decorators being one example).

I think top comment does a good job explaining that while I'd get the same functional result, Python objects have tons of abstraction behind them that make them harder to work with than lisp combinations.
I did an internship at Sandia this past summer, specifically on the HPC programs. Being a PhD student, the pay for that internship was excellent, and the cost of living in ABQ is low. I lived somewhere that I could bike to my office. My manager was excellent and a technical staff member and really understood how to manage other technical staff; no pointless meetings, hands-off, and tried at every turn to shield us from boring administrative non-sense.

The work was interesting, though my experience was very skewed as I was working on a solo project. I met weekly with my "mentor" to discuss where I was and if I needed support, but I was working nearly entirely solo. Like the parent comment here says, from what I learned the norm is that you work on many projects -- my mentor certainly was. Even in the department meetings it was clear that while we were unified under a general theme, each person in the department was working on their own, many projects.

My work was entirely unclassified, and my understanding is that most of the people in my department worked on projects with similar levels of classification. My office building looked like every other building and infosec and opsec requirements were pretty mild; wear your badge, don't photograph things, don't tell people any specifics about what you do.

I was offered to stay on as a full-time intern as part of the hiring pipeline and if it weren't for that it's in ABQ I would have strongly considered it -- the work was very interesting and also like the parent comment says, you are largely in control of what you do there. It's a lab first, not a defense weapons company, so research is the name of the game for the department I worked in.

Today, after ~7 more years of development? Can it do them consistently or "80% of the time it works every time"? Because that's the problem, the bar for an autonomous driving system to be useful is high.

Below that bar you either have just a set of driver assists that have no claim at real autonomy, and have existed for (relatively) cheap for years, or you have the the "Goldilocks zone" of dangerous tech, smart enough to coax you into handing over the control but too dumb to be actually capable of taking over.
TLDR; no, only in "some regions". [2]

Travel is not returning to prepandemic levels using ANY metric, known model or estimate referenced in this UN article. Nor, apparantly, is that even a goal of the UN. Only "sustainable recovery and lasting change", whatever that means. I'm pretty sure they don't actually mean "global international tourist arrivals", or inflation adjusted dollars spent reaching 2019 levels when they talk about "sustainable recovery"

"From Crisis to Transformation

The report is built around the tourism’s contribution to a more sustainable future. With the COVID-19 pandemic as the starting point, it charts a path through the progress made by UNWTO in supporting the sector through the worst crisis in its history while also laying the foundations for sustainable recovery and lasting change."

Exactly this.

And for the people talking about Vietnam.. a lot has changed in 50 years. America got stronger while most other nations, except China, got much weaker. China is the single plausible refutation to my claim above.

This is the irony of "free speech absolutism." Garbage will overwhelm quality content. Without curation, the platform descends to unpalatable chaos.
It takes only a tiny fraction of a smartphone's capabilities to make us dumb.

The endless scrolling and liking on social (which is now a pandemic) could arguably be served by a much slimmed down device. NB: Maybe thats something Meta should build and offer "for free".

I dont know how we could ever get immunized against big tech dumbness and start really using smartphones in smart ways. They pack exceptional hardware. Mine even has an FM radio (thats something to do with electromagnetic waves).

Its just a matter of software. Which is a matter of mindsets, control and economics. I like to think that a society that manages to truly use smartphones as smart devices will get to the next level of civilization

Meal Skipping and Shorter Meal Intervals Are Associated with Increased Risk
It's only two datapoints, so perhaps not interesting. I've noticed the Google Store is now doing this as well - almost overnight trade-in values have tanked.

I traded in my son's cracked screen Pixel 3 XL 64GB in December for a new Pixel 7. I received a $271 refund, which was $6 higher than their on-line estimate. I was puzzled then.

I was even more puzzled now when I needed a new phone and had a perfectly good condition Pixel 6 Pro that I was offered $122 on a few days ago. I opted to sell it instead.

Either manufacturers/carriers were juicing trade-in offers for sales, or some bottom has dropped out of some market. I've always assumed some third party like Assurant or whomever are the ones actually purchasing these phones to refurbish and sell onward.
Sure, it might stay centered on the star if it started centered. Any mild disturbances would cause the closer parts of the ring to receive more solar wind and light pressure while the more distant parts of the ring would receive less. However I expect that the momentum in the ring is many orders of magnitude higher than the light pressure, so it might well just destabilize anyways.

However it's a 3D system, what if the plane of the ring didn't perfectly bisect the center of gravity of the star? The feedback loop would cause things to get worse, since there's no counter pressure.
I don't think it's hare-brained, I think it'd be great. No less hare-brained than storing stuff to disk in any other format like json or yaml.

That said, the ergonomics are absolutely awful for modifying existing objects; you can't modify an existing object, you need to serialize a whole new object.

There's also a schemaless version (flexbuffers) which retains a number of the flatbuffers benefits (zero-copy access to data, compact binary representation), but is also a lot easier to use for ad-hoc serialization and deserialization; you can `loads`/`dumps` the flexbuffer objects, for example.
I worked at Argonne as an intern, and then Idaho National Lab as an intern and then as a full time research associate for a further 18 months.

The pace is definitely much slower, and in fact you'll find a lot of people just barely doing their part and kind of hiding in the woodwork, so to speak, which annoys some people to see. You also see that in big corps too of course.

I was given an enormous amount of responsibility for being right out of college, which was basically just determined by my boss who had won a grant to do some specific type of research, so he pretty much decided how to spend the money. In retrospect with more experience, I was underqualified for the job, but I had a lot of fun and learned a ton.

My boss and his colleagues had to account for their time in something like 15 minute increments, because their time was billed out to their projects. Now, I don't think they actually tracked their time that closely, they more realistically were probably just billing time according to the money they had in each pot to keep the projects going on time.

Which brings me to my next point - the labs as far as I could see run as a form of contracting business. They compete for funding from other agencies, like the military, DOE itself, BLM, etc., to do either basic research or applied research. So grant-writing and competition for the next grant is very important. Each principal has to have many grants in the pipeline at all times to make sure their funding doesn't dry up at an inopportune time. This can be stressful I think for people, depending on your role in this process and your personality.

In some cases you'd just be working for someone else who had secured all the funding for many years, and in that case you'd never have to worry about that aspect.

I see some other comments that not having a PhD means no one listened to you... that wasn't my experience. My boss only had a masters, I had a bachelors, and we pretty much did what we pleased, and decided how to do it ourselves. I'm sure it totally depends on the area you are in and your working group though. I think our group was small enough that none of the PhD scientists gave a damn what we were doing, plus my boss had gotten the funding with his colleagues (all of whom were masters degrees, no PhDs in the group at all), so no one could really say boo to them.

I ended up leaving because if you don't at least get a masters you get capped really quickly in what you can do. In my case they didn't have a permanent role for me at all with a bachelors, I was on some kind of extended internship of sorts. I decided to go into industry instead of going for a higher degree.

It's about the same it's always been from roughly 2015. I've used it maybe 6 months ago to get around a YouTube geoblock?

What this graph doesn't really unveil but is so crucially important is that webpages have gotten a lot heavier over the years. In the past, you could visit most websites at a half-decent speed with a regular landline connection. Nowadays you need to download several megabytes of content before you can even load a page in properly.
Maybe we should put AI in charge. Those all sound reasonable to me.
