For what it's worth I grew up in Northern California. Grandparents lived (one still does!) in Vallejo and worked at Mare Island naval base.

My cousins and I grew up in a band from Monterey to Sacramento. Our parents all still live in the homes they had decades ago. But None of our generation live in northern California any more, except for my sister who bought in Sacramento during the recession (she had a state job which made it a lot easier to get a mortgage!)

I think that's bad. I'd like to be able to afford to live in norcal. I moved away from California for multiple reasons but one of them was affordability.

Also, I hate traffic too! It's a good thing I am not a car! Ideally we could build places like culdesac.com or bloommerwede.nl and allow people to live completely car free.

And no, in my view, "communities" do not have rights.
Serious question: how can we trust that any of these are "credible" as you put it? I'm reminded of the recent disclosure that a "private" Swiss software firm providing encryption software was owned by the CIA and had backdoors, and operated this way for nearly 50 years:

> https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-...

Personally, I just don't see how you can possibly trust any assurance offered in the current world? You are implicitly handing your private traffic to a third party black box and hoping it is as "private" as they claim. For 99 percent of customers I'm sure this is fine, but I would not be surprised in the slightest if we find out in the future one of these was run by an intelligence agency. We've already seen them take advantage of fake/compromised encrypted messaging apps.
I signed up using my real details and a few days later I got an email saying I was banned for life for suspicious activity. They wouldn't explain why, just that this decision was irreversible.
Try that at the DMV!

It’s almost like if the DMV issued IDs with public key cryptography support and maintained a public certificate authority that we would have a much more reliable form of identification… a bank has customers they aim to please. The DMV does not aim to please anyone!
The same is true for butter, yet nobody has any qualms about "peanut butter" not being made of dairy products. The term "oat milk" is clear. It is made of oats and resembles milk.
I was pushed out of the Bay Area by people moving in, which jacked up the prices. Those people who CHOOSE to move to the Bay Area and FORCE people out of the communities that they grew up in are the IMMORAL people (see how nebulous the moral impact your choices have on others can be?). Those people that purchase houses at more that 5% of the homes previous sale price are immoral, driving up the prices of homes with their wealth. So many immoral people in the Bay Area, but the grandmother that moved into a community once filled with cherry and apple orchards that are now clone homes and is just trying to maintain something of the community she put her life savings into living in is not, actually, a monster.
There's always someone in a position to acquire all your information. If it's not a VPN, it's an ISP. And ISPs have much weaker incentives not to step on the needs of the few. Most ISPs get to stay in business no matter how many scandals embroil them.
> Probably yes -- but you would be deadly wrong.

Sort of. Smoking was initially only modestly dangerous, but became vastly more dangerous over time. So the situation isn't entirely analogous.

Prop 13 is slowly dying out as of January, though.
I hate how well this sums things up.
You wrote of LispWorks: “ The professional and enterprise licenses do not really make sense for anyone”

Perhaps a question I would ask is what are you trying to convey with this statement? It appears to be quite subjective.
Health benefits and it pays pretty well. This is the sort of side hustle that used to be popular on this site :)
I don't want my ISP seeing what I'm doing
I'm especially intrigued by the prompts you have that direct you to reflect on the status of various aspects of your life. These questions reminded me a lot of a list that I started a while back of small inconveniences in my life that had been ignored long-term. I found that just by starting the list, I was instantly able to start recognizing all these little hurdles that I had just been quietly dealing with every day. For example, the knob on the lid of our pool pump was broken and it hurt my hand every time I had to unscrew it, but I would just deal with the pain. Once I made my list and identified that as a recurring inconvenience, it was clear that it was worth the effort to go to the pool store and buy a replacement. It was a cheap item and trivial to replace, both things I knew the whole time, but somehow did not really examine before the list.

I was happy with my little inconveniences list until now, but seeing all of the other various prompts that you've made for yourself, I'm thinking I should explore this strategy even further. Would you mind posting a link to the full text of the prompts? Some of them are cut off at the end from your screenshot. Thanks!
I agree. I just regret that I can't get Mullvad to work on my Gentoo machine.

I've tried twice, and it just wouldn't work. I tried with their software built from scratch, and I tried their OpenVPN stuff.

Once I can find a way to make it work, I would definitely use it.
Maybe I have something to learn, but isn't that obviously true?
It's manufacturer defect, that's too little for such a young machine. Mine is same age and lasts over 10hrs every time.
I agree with the review, though I lack experience with other offerings.

The visual quality of the device is quite impressive. The "pass through" camera that lets you see around you feels really nice and worked far better than I was expecting.

I'm looking forward to Rez on the device. The eye tracking, in particular, is very neat and I'm hoping that to be very fun. Definitely on the lookout for other games. Hoping to get to finally play Beat Saber, though I'm not clear that will make it to this machine. :(
So you attack the clueless person writing the article.

The fact remains that by displaying that "pixel occupation window" or wtf ever you want to call it instead of intrusive spyware, you are proving to me that you are desperate and if you would resort to this you are not to be trusted.

I guess that's not really relevant if you are in the boat that is using Edge in the first place.
Yeah but, why can’t a psychiatrist sign a patient up for monthly delivery? Or something like that? Like a SaaS but for adderall?
You can also just buy a Mullvad gift card on Amazon that has a random code that you have to scratch off to see.
this could use a "(2016)" in the title....
Interesting. But it seems that MINIX does not run on the (same) processor as we're running Linux on (which would have been pretty surprising) but there is a separate low power CPU on the mother board that runs the management software under MINIX.

I am not that concerned about governments spying, i am concerned about private spying.
For some threat models, that would almost be a good thing because if Mulled is a CryptoAG-style front, they aren't going to blow there cover on something trivial like a copyright lawsuit.
That sounds like they should advocate for more homes so prices don't go up too much!
I had a similar 'fun' experience a few years back. Sold a desktop lab oven, and when the purchase was made something was off with the payment for shipping. Since I was a long-time buyer but inexperienced seller, I thought it was just an odd UI issue that would get sorted, but in the end, I got nothing for shipping, losing over $100. It turns out that there was some deeply hidden setting that allowed "Buyer can edit invoice", and the DEFAULT was set to "YES"!?! So, this permitted them to just eliminate the shipping cost.

I'm still absolutely baffled why any honest person with a clue would ever even think to set such a default. Or why a manager would allow it. Support was utterly unhelpful other than surfacing the setting; acting like it was completely my fault.

Instead of the flying cars we were promised, we just get another fundamentally disorganized and dishonest company.
Ubuntu tends to only support these kinds of things for a few years and then they drop it. I suspect that either later this year or sometime next year they will drop it. Could be wrong, but here's hoping.
I worry that GPT is going to pick up one of the most pervasive habits of internet commenters: weaponizing an out-of-context partial quote.

Comments like this are everywhere in places the trainers scrape.
I've seen my Firefox process peak at 67GB (uncompressed) when viewing certain webapps, and it regularly goes over 16GB (uncompressed; about 10GB compressed). With only 16GB RAM that's too much swapping. It's slow due to the swapping. I can't even do that any more, as that swap also needs more free disk space than I have.

I feel constrained in 16GB all the time, and it's mostly due to browser memory usage, whichever browser I use (Firefox, Safari or Chrome). However there are other things running too such as Discord, Telegram, VMware, Libre or MS Office; the GBs add up. If I dare to compile something big, I have to close other things. I'm not even one of those media creators or gamers using heavy graphics!

So, I currently have a late 2013 MBP with 16GB which is going strong still. It's still great, except for RAM and battery. I'm thinking of upgrading to an M2 Max 64GB or 96GB, because I don't want to be caught short with only 24/32GB the way I've felt heavily constrained by 16GB a few years after buying the 2013 MBP.

And I want to get into modern graphics, physics simulations, blockchain simulations, terabyte-scale database engine design, neural nets and chip design more than I have been. I expect those to be memory heavy, enough that even 96GB RAM will be a design constraint. (Then again that's what I said when I bought the 2013 MBP, and in practice I ended up using datacentre servers for the heavy stuff, so I'm still weighing up the purchasing decision, whether it's worth it).
The key phrase from the cited paper is "Adherence with interventions was low in many studies."
I don't use a VPN for all things, since it causes various problems - but I do use it when:

- I want to pirate content, which I do infrequently but like to do safely when I do it
- I need to access a region-locked system

Otherwise, I just use iCloud Private Relay in Safari since that blocks IP addresses and prevents against my ISP while not causing as many problems for accessing websites.
People in developed countries take online payments for granted. Let me give you another perspective from a third world country.

Where I live, the international payments are restricted. Most of the neobanks/payment only issue payment cards for EEA or USA and Canada. There are a few options like Dukascopy Bank, but the fees are expensive especially for micro transaction. So cryptocurrency (not all though) does have some utility for people like us.

That being said, I do agree that crypto ecosystem is filled with grifters and scammers and only a select few cryptocurrencies are actually useful.
GP was saying that 27-42yo millenials are not likely to be able to afford to live near their boomer/Gen X parents, so the grandparents of the millennials' 0-18yo children are not close to those grandkids.

I feel very fortunate to live in a Midwestern small city, to have bought in 2014, and to have the skills and tools to fix up a foreclosure with lots of problems, so that I can live within 5 miles of my parents (so that my son can grow up within 5 miles of his grandparents). That 5 miles, though, is a car trip, because their house was $145k in 1995 and is now worth some $700k. There's no way as the sole breadwinner that I could buy a house within walking distance my 6-year-old's grandparents (my parents).
People are going to see what they want to see in this. There's an interactive list of donations here: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/here-are-the-politicians-w...

He seems to have given most of his money to Democratic causes and then a minority to some Republicans who are generally in the anti-Trump wings of the party.
Absolutely, as long as they say oat milk then that's fine. I don't think they should be allowed to just say milk.
So add people and remove cars.
Thanks! Macroexpanded:

You apppear to be missing or obscuring basic facts. "I am employed as a university professor at <X>" should never be a forbidden statement wherein it is (a) not fraud (b) not impersonation and (c) not defamation.
The market for junior dev is even worse, imagine being fresh out of college in a market with 100,000 freshly laid off mid-staff level engineers
This. Cloud is great when a startup hits an unexpected growth spurt and can scale infra without getting distracted from the core mission. It is not cheap, but it may be worth it.

But this is a fairly narrow use case and until hitting limitations of a couple of VPSes, moving to the cloud does not make sense for most startups. My 2c.
I would also add that now is a good time to figure out what things could happen that would make you get back on your medication. Set yourself up a list of items that if you feel you can no longer accomplish, you will talk to someone about getting back on your meds. I am starting to realize that I should have saw someone last year about getting back on my adhd medication and I wont get that lost time back.
A fair point - I remember thinking that when I worked in Denver for a bit and visited the Rocky Mountains up past Estes Park and thought that the scale of the mountains top to bottom looked kind of familiar - just that the bottom was a hell of a lot higher than sea level!
"Forgiveness" seems to be at least two separate but related things.

1. A willingness not to dwell on the past.

2. A relief from a sense that the past is causing present harms.

(1) applies largely to the person doing the forgiving, and (2) to the person being forgiven, but they are intertwined.

The "necessity of changing the behavior" affects both. If the behavior is still going on, then it doesn't matter if they've been forgiven for past transgressions. And if the person desires to believe that the past isn't still causing harm, then continuing to cause that harm undermines that.

You can frame it as a devious matter of "control" if you want, but we're talking about a conflict here. The person granting forgiveness wants a thing to change. They don't suddenly have omnipotent power to enforce that change. They merely have a way of framing the question.

If you don't care to be forgiven, there's nothing that can be done. If you have caused harm and don't mind continuing to be harm, then the second part of my formulation simply doesn't apply to you.

It leaves the first half, and they can do their best. It will almost certainly involve removing themselves from the situation, as best they can. That can have consequences for the person doing the harm, and if that matters to them they may reconsider. But that's not a magical control over them.
Wasn't Farmville shut down in 2020? It was flash based. The versions I can find now are all mobile apps in the app store.
The sketchy workflow is because you were doing something you weren't supposed to essentially. Ebay doesn't want sellers to humor people doing scammy things. They were hoping you sent the item before they paid, or they didn't have the cashflow to complete the purchase but wanted to prevent anyone else from getting it.

In ebay's world, if someone is not clearly a normal buyer, you should cancel that transaction. This goes the same for consumers, if a seller is acting weird, cancel that transaction and move on.

This is the sort of creative destruction that antitrust law should enable on a regular basis.
'Best' is subjective, of course. If you think a pretty well written, accessible textbook coupled with a working, non-trivial but understandable codebase to examine is a good way to learn things, then "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" and Minix is a pretty good choice. YMMV.
Checked mine too and the difference is stark. However just setting Linkedin to "looking for a job" was enough to get a lot of attention in early February. I didn't want to wait for layoffs on my company, so, in advance, I got a much better paid job in about 2-3 weeks. Listings always suck, btw. Recruiters is where it's at.
For me Xcode uses a huge amount of power compared to VSCode with the C++ extension, making it barely usable.
Xcode eats power.
Don't know what the downvotes are for. I work in Ohio politics. Some other problems: we're one of, if not the most gerrymandered states in the country - particularly our state legislature. Karl Rove's favorite testbed. The DNC gives us peanuts then wonders why everyone here loses races.
> This kind of hypocrisy where CEOs look down from the stratosphere on the common rabble yet have their corporations espouse a kind of elitist morality about diversity, equity, and inclusion is dumbfounding and disgusting.

You're really missing the forest for the trees. Which is OK, because a lot of people are. On every side of this issue.

It's not hypocrisy, its just business. They don't give a shit because they see where society is going, and they want to make sure they remain as profitable as possible.

This is also why all the fighting and gnashing of teeth is pointless. CEOs aren't pushing the agenda. They're just following profits, like they always have. If you don't like that, well, welcome to the club, lots of us have been here for a very long time.
I know PayPal spun out of Ebay a long time ago and that PayPal is especially evil and sociopathically unscrupulous but...

EBay just banned my account last week for listing a Macbook Pro with stock image, removing it to adjust the title, relisting it with a photo of the "About this Mac" to show that the specs were correct. (Can't think of anything else that would even be remotely related).

Also, the messages component of the Ebay web app was completely down the whole time so it made it impossible to respond to any users that were asking questions about the MacBook Pro. Completely insane. Apparently making listings is "harmful to the [Ebay] community"
I'm a happy user of ImprovMX.com - used it for free for a long time, now paying some 30$/year. Delivery is pretty much instantaneous, and I had only very few mails not being delivered (and there was a legitimate issue on the sender side, so ImprovMX was rejecting it).

But I'm not really satisfied with the sending side of things - my plan doesn't include the feature, and sending via Gmail is enough most of the time, but setting up each alias manually in Gmail is quite annoying.
1. Do you believe that legislation and fear of legislation to protect mental health will cause a crisis to Meta's viability in the next 10 years?

2. Suppose legislation limits Meta's freedom in attempt to advert mental health issues.

How difficult will it be for Meta to maneuver or adapt to survive in this environment?

3. Meta's market cap is 442 billion usd. What do you guess Meta's market cap to be in 2033 (ie, the average of your expectations)?
We stopped building real cities when people decided it was more important to be able to park everywhere forever for free than to have nice places.
Ah, you're right. The article used "like" at one point, but the rules say "Such as".
Hey Denis,

Really good question, we're doing mainly 2 things: we're pushing hard on makiing sure that our content comes from a diverse group of experts (Bunchee is referencing the tips/content from our library, which is the main difference to ChatGTP) and we're also working on assembling a diverse panel of coaches, to diversify the perspectives and PoVs of those that "train" Bunchee. And we're open about the fact that she is limited and may give harmful or biased advice.
Not that I see it either, but if it were that easy to see, we'd be in the upswing. Fortune favors the bold.
Has there been something discrediting Private Internet Access? Or are they just not as transparent as Mullvad?
You'll also get a lot less suspicious login flags if you regularly use a VPN from a certain area. If you only use it when you're on public WiFi, get ready to prove your identity on most of the services you use.
Same thing happened to me as a seller. I sold a single Nintendo Switch game for a very normal price ($30, used). I delivered the item on-time and with tracking. My account was suspended forever with no chance for review.
> Isn’t that a bit like putting the obesity clinic at the back of the McDonald’s?

Yes, except if pamphlets from the obesity clinic sold for hundreds of dollars on the street. It does suck, but I do see it at least a bit of a "this is why we can't have nice things" rather than just "Assholes make it harder for me to get my meds"
I have to imagine it’s one of those charges they can tack onto other criminal charges so that something sticks. Sending €20 won’t be a problem. Sending €20.000 will be.

Where the line in between lies, I have no idea.

These "I got banned from X" stories happen so frequently, yet people still seem surprised when it happens. It should be obvious by now that you should not have your livelihood or business utterly dependent on a single point of failure cloud service, particularly one you don't have a formal business relationship with or any expectation of customer support. This goes for not only businesses but anything you deem valuable. Don't keep your only copy of X on a free cloud service. Don't host a critical E-mail account on a free, support-less mail provider. Don't rely on free social networking single sign-ons for access to other things you need. How many of these "I've been banned" incidents need to happen before people wise up?
Like "literate programming" + "shell scripts". Ideally the latter can be a better, cross-platform language (e.g. "```python" code fences).
I think GP is referring to running psql server side on the database server itself (i.e., connecting to localhost). Running a gigantic result will keep allocating memory for the result and potentially OOM the server as it’s competing for resources with the database itself right?
Yay! thanks for the feedback, Boris, glad you enjoyed chatting with Bunchee!
That's true, however I've been seeing complaints for a little longer than that. Perhaps in FAANG they were hiring, but in general I remember seeing a lot of junior devs (not from elite colleges) commenting about how they applied for 50 positions sometimes during COVID. Something unthinkable in my time.
Could you clarify to me which of the foundations soros funds would place him as right leaning?
I think this is a bad argument for an essentially correct position, an unintentional strawman, presented in good faith.

The price of housing is not dependent on how nice the housing is in aggregate, only how much of it there is. The argument for building "affordable" housing comes from landlords who own luxury housing not wanting the new housing to hurt their investments.
if dota is anything like CS:GO, then most CVar-editing cheats are done by hooking the underlying functions instead of just forcing them. I distinctly remember the word on the street a few years ago being that manually writing to CVars was Dangerous Stuff To Be Messing With.
