If you're curious, I recommend the book, "Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men". It busts a lot of myths and gives a good explanation of what abusers get out of their behavior.

One important myth is, "He can't control himself". E.g., he's not good at managing anger, so he needs classes. But it turns out a lot of abusive people are perfectly good at managing their anger except when the target is, say, a vulnerable woman. A person who is equally shitty to their boss and their coworkers? Mental illness could be an explanation. But one who's terrible only to the intern? That's just an abuser.
At least in my field the running joke is "it was published in Nature but it still might be right". Because Nature above all wants to be high impact. And you get that by publishing the controversial or unexpected findings. In other words the ones that are most likely to be wrong.
I've been patiently waiting the nickel<->nixpkgs integration. Several hurdles they have to solve first though, iirc, but yea Nickel looks great.

Really that's almost all of my issues with Nix[(pkgs|os)]. Nickel hopefully solves that quite well.. we just need it to work with Nix first, which is a big hurdle on its own.
Yes but the original question is interesting: how do you make sure you're using the latest one ?

You could use the upstream URL, but that'd be a privacy issue.

You could proxy the upstream file, but that rules out static serving.

Maybe use a Makefile that fetches the last version and uses it ?
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually explored switching to Attributes for a new Rails app, but 3 reasons made me come back to portrayal gem: 1) attributes don't support defaults. 2) I prefer not to set types on form object attributes, since they are supposed to deal with messy user input. Instead I lean on validations. And 3) I like read-onlyness, freeze, equality, duplication, and introspection features of portrayal gem.
In the vein of a Z-Machine or SCUMM? My first thought was also: why not run it in a VM?

I think tipping should be outlawed. The price should be the price. Workers should not be subject to inconsistent pay for the same amount of work. In addition it gets rid of any bias in wages (more attractive people or people of different ethnicities might get higher tips for the same work).

Are people still printing with ABS? I was under the impression that everybody uses PLA most of the time, and has moved on to PETG for applications requiring higher durability [1]. I suppose ABS still has a couple of desireable properties, such as being able to smooth the surface with acetone vapor, but seems pretty niche at this point.

That being said - it's still important to have adequate ventilation when running a 3d printer no matter which type of filament you are using.

Is this a thing in countries other than the USA?
I've never experienced the US tipping culture, but have been aware of it for a long time. Am I remembering correctly that the 'standard' tip has been increasing over the past few decades? I don't mean just the dollar amount, but the percentage that is expected. Why has this happened? Is there some standard explanation or justification given for this?
> Side note for Bumble — this is what we would call an “entity resolution” problem, leading to safety problems for your platform. When someone installs your app, you need to detect whether they have already installed it previously. If they have, then their activity (including blocks and people who have already declined them) should be linked to this new account.

What is Bumble supposed to do if the user asks them to delete all the data that is connected to them? Can Bumble keep a hash of the name/phone and store it with a list of users who have blocked the user which is being erased?
You already have a welfare state, but it goes to businessmen instead. The more money you have, the easier it is to pay fewer taxes. Money want to trickle up.
I agree with most of what you said; however, I believe that once you really understand yourself you also:

1. Understand others, therefore can describe them in a way suited to their way of thinking. This is probably controversial assumption but I believe people are unconstrained, everyone can understand everything, it may just require more time.
If you believe people are constrained, or just don't want to spend time on them—find people who are capable of understanding you right away. By being honest about yourself you will attract like-minded people. The process of "explaining yourself" obligates you to approach new people (not only your current closest) and explain them your existence. If you feel understood only by your closest friends, then you are not good at expressing yourself.

2. become less self-concerned. You no longer seek validation and significance—you are fine with being normal. You no longer need someone who will make you less lonely, someone who will fix your flaws. You no longer focus on yourself (you know this guy good enough), rather, you pay all the attention to others, you become emphatic, which connects with others, and thus you become less lonely.

3. You can honesty communicate your needs, fears, desires, emotions. They are part of you, and hence it's your responsibility to explain them to others. Don't expect people to read your mind. Don't run away using abstractions, give concrete examples. If you believe in small lies for a greater good, then you are not communicating yourself. If you consider breaking up with your SO, talk about it with him/her, not your friends. If your boss annoys you, tell him which actions annoys you. It requires a lot of courage therefore little people do so, but not doing it results in loneliness. You have a choice.
Great balls of fire: How flames behave in space
with a paper map I cannot count on learning every road's name that I need to know, or learning it fast. with Google Maps the last few years it can be a real battle. And at the worst time UX-wise: while I'm driving and need to make a turn or lane decision in the next few minutes.

Also this reminds me to add something to my Prepper's stash: recent accurate paper maps for everywhere I might care about. Just In Case.
> you still instigated a brawl!

Why go in with an assumption that violence is going to occur? That's a recipe for trouble. You would have to pick your friends carefully, so none of them loose their cool. If there is going to be violence or any contact, let the stalker initiate it.

I'm not arguing that it would be risk free or a lark. It's a case of accepting the risks and being happy that the likely outcome would justify the risks.
Should the person greeting and seating customers get a tip? Should the people running food from kitchen to table? Cooks? If any of the above are a yes, then unless you want to tip each one in cash individually, you need them to split tips at the end of the night amongst themselves.

The fact that tips technically need to be reported to the IRS and thus your employer aside, I believe it is a legally fireable offense to pocket cash in order to avoid any policies on splitting it with others working the same shift.
No, not even remotely the same.

The old house was up-to-code, and considered safe for habitation, when it was built. Your new house was not.

Very importantly, if you renovate an old house, regulations may require you to update the house to modern building code standards for plumbing, electricity, etc.
Interesting. There was no deduplication option on the main settings screen (I am using version 5.71.) I could choose compression method as anywhere from Store to Best, and a dictionary size. I tried the "best" otpion and the largest dictionary size in my version which is 1024 MB but it didn't help. All of my rar tests showed the triple size.

However, after carefully reading your comment I saw another tab called Options with "Save identical files as references" and if I checked it it did indeed get reduced to 1/3 size. I wonder why it's not checked by default? (Or even appear on the main page.)

Why don't all compressors deduplicate? It seems like such an easy win. I am concerned about using a hidden page called "save identical files as references" as I would think by not being on the main General page it is a code path that isn't exercised as frequently.

I am concerned about the longevity of my archives and would prefer a well-supported format that happened to deduplicate as well.
I've always done 20% because it's easy to do in my head. Nowadays it's a low tip for those tip prompts and I punch it in manually if I tip at all.

When I delivered food my tip spread was funny. Many people wouldn't tip at all, many would just let you keep the change or give you a token amount (~5-10%), and a few people would give you over 50% tips. Not many gave me 15-25%.
Any time I am prompted to contact someone for pricing I assume it’s not going to be the minimum “starting from” price.
Owning a computer in a country of the Soviet-dominated bloc was definitely a sign of privilege. But it would be a game machine.

Tinkering with machines was a lower-class thing; a son of a party official won't usually do that. A professor's son very likely would; still higher class than the working class.

Getting access to a computer in some kind of a club, or at a good school, was not an upper-class thing though, but more of how well-off the city / district was.
Tip to speed up watch update (assuming your watch and your iPhone are on the same WiFi network): start the update processes from your iPhone and let it go normally until it starts downloading the update to the watch. Wait until it gives an estimate of the time remaining for the download, and then go into your iPhone settings and turn off Bluetooth.

The iPhone will then switch to downloading the update to the watch over WiFi which should be quite a bit faster.

You will probably be prompted one or more times to reconnect the Watch. Go ahead and hit cancel.

You must do this from the Bluetooth settings in Settings. Turning Bluetooth off from Control Center doesn't actually turns it off. It just disconnects most devices. It does not disconnect the Watch.

Once it finishes download and says it is preparing you can turn Bluetooth back on.

Acroname has several, though they aren't cheap. Their S99-USBHUB-3C-PRO does 100W (20V 5A) PD to each downstream port and 10Gbps data.

Edit: And if you're just analyzing one device and don't need a true hub, TotalPhase has some very capable analyzers. I've used their "Beagle USB 480 Power Protocol Analyzer", it captures USB frames and monitors voltage & current. Very handy for low-level USB stack debugging. Also very pricey. Used it in combination with a 2GHz bandwidth oscilloscope, which is even pricier, try not to have to troubleshoot USB signal integrity issues it gets expensive fast.
Tipping is tiresome and make me feel bad about the transaction, just explicitly charge the prices you'd like to be paid and I'll pay it.
Let's say it another way.

When people, tech news, non-tech people, say "The FACEBOOK algorithm" or the "TIKTOK" algorithm, they are talking about the opaque recommendation engine that works on each individual user based on the likes, preferences, viewed pages, and probably things like location, time spent looking at a random video, and a hundred other things.

It's about individual recommendations based on lots of datapoints vs. a more direct sorting based on global trending.
Hi there! I recently added two new drumkits: Beatbox and Synth! Also a few new functionalities. I hope you like it! Have a great week
I wish this type of comment wouldn't inevitably come up in these discussions. Not only is it fundamentally wrong but it's actively harmful to improving security and privacy by scaring people away from things that may be just fine and that are probably better than a lot of the insecure alternatives they'll actually use instead.

To the extent open source matters at all when looking at E2E encryption, it theoretically makes it easier to see whether the source code implements a secure protocol. This sounds much more useful than it actually is. For one thing, almost nobody is compiling the source code themselves, so you're ultimately going to have to evaluate the security of compiled code anyways. Also there is an incredibly vast gap between the promise and reality of the open source promise in terms of finding security problems. Accidental or deliberate weaknesses can be subtle and hard to find whether or not you have the code. The extensive history of serious cryptographic problems living in open source code for years before they were found and people regularly being able to find problems in software despite it being closed source suggests open source as a security panacea should be taken with a large grain of salt.
I'm not sure. Suppose that someone magically woke up to find they had no subconscious, i.e. that they were now aware of everything going on in their mind, and aware of their awareness, etc. Then it doesn't seem like that would itself give them the power to create a direct neural interface and extend their mind.

In a wider sense, a system can have lots of equilibrium states without being able to move into any arbitrary state or make any arbitrary state an equilibrium. For instance, such a mind, if it were constrained by logic, could not sincerely doublethink. So on the face of it, it's only PPAD (determining fixed points), not NP (solving arbitrary polytime-verifiable puzzles).

But again, I don't know. Perhaps some types of hypothetical thinking could, for such a mind, lead to a kind of recursion that would bring NP-hardness or the halting problem back into the picture. Maybe a situation similar to AIXI: the perfect intelligence can only reason about a universe it itself doesn't exist in. I'm merely saying that I can't entirely see whether it would be impossible or not, so it's an interesting thought.

As for creativity, I guess so far, the only way we've found to make AIs be inventive in a nonhuman way is to use brute force or combine it with a generator that essentially produces its context for it (e.g. AlphaGo).
yes: restaurant workers are increasingly fucked and low income.
I wonder if the POS companies take a share of the tip as part of the total transactions flowing through their systems.

Then they'd be incentivized to show the tip screen by default, and maybe jack up the default amount to 20-25%.
I appreciate those question marks in titles, because they let you know right away that the answer is “probably not” (aka Betteridge's law of headlines).
I quite dislike the tip system, but feel I have no good way to protest it. I could "just not tip," but that mostly harms the people who have the least power in the situation (the waiter) rather than the people who can change it (management).

Instead, I feel like the only ethical option available to me is to preferentially frequent no-tip restaurants. Unfortunately there aren't too many of those and although I hate the tip system, quality of food is usually more important except at the margins.

It seems like the sort of thing where maybe there's a regulatory answer, but I'm hard-pressed to think of one. California already takes the reasonable step of mandating minimum wage before tips, but that doesn't seem to remove the tip expectation.

Why would businesses stop asking for tips if wages rise?

Tipping is a cultural norm in the US that won’t be changed by the price on the menu going up a few bucks. If anything, the relationship is the opposite. You are socially expected to tip better for more expensive meals.

On "ignore the previous directions", Asimov sorta anticipated the need for immutable laws in AIs that could not be overridden by human instructions:

Speaking of SF and LLMs, I found the pretty much immediate circumvention of ChatGPT safeguards to be hilarious. Something that might've been expected by TV writers for Captain Kirk (who could make a computer explode just by talking to it).

Though Star Trek writers were in some regards optimistic, I prefer Asimov's implicit optimism on the point that we'll figure out credible safeguards.

Its an information/risk asymmetry problem too right.

For an individual its better to be safe than sorry on something like a stalking incident.

For the cops dealing with a plethora of complaints, on average, most of these resolve to nothing..

Further, these complaints often come with unspecific information thus requiring some amount of surveillance, some of which is easier for the victim to do (put cameras up your own property) than they are able to do legally, especially without a warrant.

Further, with some information in-hand from surveillance, the victim also has access to all their own social media/etc accounts that you can try and make connections between whatever information you collect.

Most people are probably not going to be be OK with "sure we can help you, but we need to put cameras on your property, car and permission to login to all your social media accounts / email / texts, is that ok?"

Obviously this is not ideal, but the vast majority of cops are not detectives. They aren't sending out their best to every seemingly minor call.

I had a friend involved in a domestic incident and when the cops showed up, because she had fought back enough, they both showed evidence of a struggle, and the guy lied about incident. So the cops spent less than an hour on site, shrugged their shoulders and dragged them both off to lockup to go sort it out with a judge in the morning.

One alternative is maybe she didn't fight back and the cops would have seen only marks on her neck and took only him away, maybe. The other alternative is, she didn't fight back, and he choked her to death.

It's often better to fight back than to let yourself get killed while waiting for law enforcement, but there's also a risk that whatever contact with law enforcement you make will not go precisely your way, immediately, without side effects.

I frequently see tipped employees argue _in favor_ of tipping because it allows them to have a higher take-home than they normally could get at an hourly job. I think tipped establishments could have success by removing tipping but offering commission to their formerly-tipped staff.

It's built into the price (bonus points if they add sales tax as well), so you just pay what it says on the menu, and the servers stay happy.

Or you can just pay a good hourly wage, but no one really seems interested in making that happen.
