I've been homeless and I think part of that is just for someone with no problems it doesn't make sense to be inner-urban homeless in these crim-ridden areas. I assume those people are all fucked up for one reason and therefore as a sane person I don't want to be around them.

I had a very strict rule when I was homeless. Stay away from other homeless people. Camp on the edge of town. Ride the bus into rural areas.

How did I get a job with just the clothes on my back? I hitch-hiked to north dakota in the oil fields where a man is a man and they don't give a fuck what you look like. They hired me to do day labor, and once you have enough money for a van or a short stay airbnb it only gets easier from there.

Get the fuck out of tenderloin, and san francisco at all costs. Hitch-hike if you must. If you want guaranteed housing you can also look into doing seasonal harvesting work for fisheries in alaska. They'll pay your flight from seattle and then cover your food/shelter while you're working.
This, and while no small device can easily replace a large physical map, but map developers aren't helping here either. I find more often then not, in map apps the 2nd you zoom out even a little, you start losing half the details. Even on a larger iPad.
Especially the topo map apps, which also tend to forget most devices are HighDPI, so the topo image is also blurry.

I just wish I could set the map level to it's best, then zoom out as far as I want without jumping to a worse level map.

Immediately raised a red flag, since I've never heard of "steam gauges" until today, it took me a minute to realize they had confused the term, and obviously have no idea what they are talking about.

Contrast with "glass panels" or "glass cockpit" which just means "using a LCD" or similar (nevermind that the "steam gauges" also have a glass front)
Yeah, the whole permitted params is actually is pretty shitty workaround against something else.

We're missing the 'form' part. Validations should be done against forms, not models. Default forms can easily be derived from models, which is nice for simple apps, but this is really something that's lacking in rails.

Permitted params exists because there is no form (dry-schema for example). There's ActiveModel, but it's not the same, and it's not ad-hoc / bound to the view/controller layer of things.
If I recall the story continues where the complex system included a sensor to detect an empty box. Realizing the fan worked they disabled the complex system until one day the fan quietly failed without anyone noticing and empty boxes where sent out. This created a great deal of embarrassment for everyone involved.

Even more time and effort was spent after the problem was already ‘fixed’ twice at which point they used both the fan and the more complex system.

> Why do so many people want to check out of life completely by abusing medicine?

This isn’t how it works.

Few people, if any, want to “check out.” What happens is that people are exposed to opiods via one of two channels (they are prescribed painkillers, or they party with someone who has acquired them) and they quickly get hooked because these drugs are cripplingly addictive.

So the only “why” questions we have to ask are:

1) Why do people take opiods the first time

2) Why do people continue

The answer to 1 is either because their doctor said so, or because they like to party and have no foresight. The answer to 2 is because if they stop, they experience the worst sickness imaginable.

Society is not broken and we don’t need weird conspiratorial explanations for any of this.
>They're measuring square feet completed per employee. Houses are twice as big now as they were 50 years ago. Anyone who's every done a remodel or new construction knows that 80% of the time is spent on the last 20% of finishing work, and with twice the square feet, that's twice as much finishing work.

I don't see the point you're making. Houses are twice as big, so they require twice the amount of finishing work. If productivity was growing or staying the same, you shouldn't get less productivity as a result of that.
(author here) The FPU is not quite equivalent to a Sandy Bridge FPU, but the FPU is one of the strongest parts of the Bulldozer core. Also, iirc multiply throughput is the same on Bulldozer and K10 at 1 per cycle. K10 uses two pipes to handle high precision multiply instructions that write to two registers, possibly because each pipe only has one result bus and writing two regs requires using both pipes's write ports. But that doesn't mean two multiplies can complete in a single cycle.

With regard to expectations, I don't think AMD ever said that per-thread performance would be a match for Sandy Bridge. ST performance imo was Bulldozer's biggest problem. Calling it 8 cores or 4 cores does not change that. You could make a CPU with say, eight Jaguar cores, and market it as an eight core CPU. It would get crushed by 4c/8t Zen despite the core count difference and no sharing of core resources between threads (on Jaguar).
This is more or less where we are now with mainstream macroeconomics - a previously fringe theory becomes dominant and too many people stop thinking in deference to the experts.

I think you get it. The nature of the medium itself changes people, not just the sort of content that is being delivered through that medium. TV puts people into couch potato trances. Karma-oriented commenting systems have people alter their beliefs to align with the popular majority. Anonymous commenting systems have people act bolder and ruder, etc.

Just curious, I'm not into Rails or Ruby at all, but given an established codebase, what's the reasoning for a big move like that? My org is doing a similar shift (C#, the legacy .NET Framework -> Elixir) and while I quite like Elixir I don't think the language change itself is doing much for us.

There is an entire crowd source science around how to churn and different companies have different policies.

For instance signing up for business cards using your SSN as the EIN doesn’t show up on your credit report.

Once you have one card from Amex, they don’t do a credit pull for additional cards. Between personal and business, Amex has six Delta cards and four versions of the Platinum.

That means you can apply for as many Amex business cards as you want with no effect on your credit.

Chase has a hard 5/24 rule where you can’t have opened more than 5 cards with any issuer within 24 months. But that doesn’t include business cards.

You also have to space credit card applications out. It also helps that I have a long credit history. I opened my first card in 1996.

This (along with the fact that a commit is a state, not a patch) is really the most basic thing that every git tutorial should start with and you shouldn't move anywhere past that until you grasp it.

But what you usually get instead is "this is a command to commit, this is a command to push, and this one to pull, here's how you make a branch, have fun" - and then people complain that git is complicated because they end up with situations they don't understand. Well, duh - any new concept seems complicated until you take a closer look at it, and if you learn git this way you never actually did try to understand it. It's a data structure manipulation tool, so it's in your best interest to have at least some rough understanding of what data structure it operates on. Otherwise it's like trying to use a word processor without knowing how to write.

As another example, I find it completely backwards to teach `git pull` before `git fetch <remote> <ref>:<local_ref>`. How is one supposed to understand what `pull` does this way? However you imagine it at this stage, it's going to be wrong and will make you end up confused later on. Once you know how fetch works and what merge is, `git pull` becomes obvious. It doesn't work the other way around.
I used to employ ZFS for this, but if it took me a while to notice something was broken, or I updated multiple times, it was annoying to figure out which snapshot was the issue, and which changes actually caused the problem. On NixOS, I just have to select a different generation in systemd-boot, and since my configuration is stored in a Git repo, they're all tagged with the data and commit hash they were built at, so it's very quick to a) find a working generation to just use for now, and b) actually find where the issue is and solve it.

Your mention of 'pivot' brings to mind this analogy. I want to pivot from riding a motorcycle to driving a car. Which brand, model, and trim level would you recommend (without knowing anything else about intended usage)? Except, your choices of technology may be even wider.

The problem is there are too many things that are interesting and desirable to learn and not enough time for everything.

I recently had a similar conversation of a younger person who wanted to learn development and wondered on what to focus on to start. You need some way to filter the very broad scope of possibilities to something narrow enough to begin a focus. One possibility is to decide on a platform. Do you prefer to work on web apps, desktop apps, back-end, DB, mobile, etc.? That selection will help to narrow down which tech may be better suited. Another option is to pick an open-source project that you use and like. You could then learn that tech stack and begin to contribute to it, thus getting your efforts and new knowledge documented.

I disagree.

Even a closed source client soon has opensource 'compatible' clients. To build those, you need to reverse engineer/understand the crypto. In the process of doing that, you will likely uncover any systemic flaw that reveals every conversation to a passive attacker.

That effectively leaves the 'send a secret message to leak the key' type backdoors that the client could have. However, if this functionality existed and was used on every chat, then it is quickly discovered by anyone debugging the unofficial client.

So the only remaining 'loophole' is that there is a backdoor in the official client, but that it is only used very rarely or on request.

That in turn means that facebook can't go do large scale data mining on the private chats. Thats a win.
My understanding of that phrase is that "pull an Uber" means "break laws and social norms to more quickly deliver a product that beats the status quo". Uber broke laws in some regions that required special taxi licenses, and it broke social norms by blurring the lines between contractor and full-time employees when it took away certain employee freedoms common for contractors while not giving them full-time employment benefits.
> These compounds are extremely good at what they do. From lubrication to fire retardants there’s a reason these compounds are everywhere.

You could make the same argument about asbestos (and people probably did at the time).

You could also argue that it took class action lawsuits to finally push the cost of using it from "wonder product" to "only when really needed" to "not worth it" to "it's now illegal". (Granted the last step is not 100% tied to the financial cost).
My impression is that central Europe (which I apologize for lumping together) has a pretty long-running tradition of literary absurdism and surrealism. They're works that are more allegorical than "scientific" or "futuristic," even though they might be responding to (or "riffing on") actual early sci-fi of the techno-futurism variety.

As some examples, besides his R.U.R., Capek (Czech) also wrote The War with the Newts. It's an animal fairy tale that predates George Orwell's animal fairy tale by a decade.

Franz Kafka, obviously, was born in Prague and spent his life in central Europe.

Witold Gombrowicz's Ferdydurke (1937) is a Polish analogue from the same decade. Bruno Schulz's short story anthology The Street of Crocodiles is another one.

After World War 2, you have people like Stanislaw Lem (Polish) writing a lot of farcical science fiction and Jan Svankmajer (Czech) making a lot of grotesque, farcical stop-motion animation.

> They don't stop because they cannot stop due to a physical addiction.

What you wrote here is actually the issue I was trying to communicate: The notion that addicts are helpless and that the drug and/or society has already determined their outcome is the problem. This sets up a defeatist attitude where people feel like they shouldn't even try to overcome addiction because their contribution to the equation is 0%.

Different addiction programs handle this in a different way. AA/NA famously have the "submitting to a higher power" concept that is very divisive, but appears to work for many people. Other programs basically teach the user that they do have some control over their life, and that they need to start exercising little bits of control to move in the right direction (even if they can't choose to end their addiction tomorrow).

What doesn't work is telling people "it's not your fault" or trying to comfort people by blaming their problems on purely exterior sources. Addiction treatment specialists refer to this as "rescuing behavior" and will go out of their way to discourage it from support groups and in friends and family.

This is the problem with addiction explanations that try to shift the blame to society: They give the user an excuse to continue believing that they are 100% victim with no control over navigating their way out of their situation.

The 8087!
At the state level, the rate of incarceration for black americans is about 5 times higher than for white americans. This report fully breaks it down by state and by ethnicity, and offers policy solutions:

https://www.sentencingproject.org/app/uploads/2022/08/The-Co...

Given that black people are not a large percentage of the population, this disparity is shocking and significant. If we deliberately choose not to point out these problems then it won't be possible to correct them at a social policy level. If we chose to focus only on "males" as the targeted demographic then we would overlook a lot of the systemic injustices and socio-economic circumstances that black males face exclusively, and which would require disproportionate attention to solve. It is neither right nor just that black men should bear such an unequal burden.

Moreover, pointing out injustice done to black americans does not "dismiss the millions of non-black victims". I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. There is more than enough room in the sphere of public debate to discuss all aspects of mass incarceration.

The argument you're making sounds almost exactly like "all houses matter".

Embrace, extend, and extinguish is a very specific term, which means – quoting Wikipedia – "a strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors."

I just don't see how "need Microsoft account to log in to Windows" even remotely fits that. I don't know of anything Microsoft has done in the last 20 or so years that fits that. I can tell you of specific things Microsoft has done in the last 20 years that I don't like, but that doesn't make it embrace, extend, and extinguish.
