My wallet has spots for a total of 5 cards. Between ID, bank card, credit, medical and building I literally dont have space for it. (Im not buying a new wallet to lug around gift cards). But even historically when I had a bigger wallet that could carry more card I would never remember the off chance I went to one of these stores that I had a card. I go to starbucks maybe once a year (its just not my coffee place).

> Throwing out literal money is just absurd elitism and waste.

Its not wasted, Starbucks still gets the money, I just don't get anything in return.

Gift cards are just thoughtless and pointless in my personal opinion. Give people money.
broca, a chatgpt powered dictionary + vocabulary book I'm working on.

https://github.com/shi-yan/broca

on each of the computers I use, I have a open sublime text tab documenting words I don't know.

they are scattering around, unorganized, get lost when the file tab is closed.

I want to synchronize my vocabulary on different devices using git.

broca saves to plain files that are git friendly. And using ChatGPT as a dictionary allows me to search for idioms/slang/phases with unlimited example sentences.
They key to success will be AI driven block chain with machine learning crypto.

I experienced this method in a public high school I went to. It was actually an awesome model and schooldays were 4 hours. The unfortunate thing about high school is the actual materials are really low quality.

Looking back, only math is a useful class in high school (of which I only liked Geometry at the time). The other classes are too low res to be deeply engaging if you're really curious.

Traditional schooling also has a terrible model of punishing curiosity in that if you demonstrate a passion for the material it likely just ends up with more work/homework (AP classes, special credit) instead of acceleration to the next tier of education on that topic. The grade school education system does nothing to reward academic excellence, literally nothing. If you get an A then thats it. You're still locked in with everyone else, so whats the point?
Some people have had trouble getting police reports filed, but what usually works is starting from the closest precinct office. Police reports are often required for any kind of insurance coverage. I have gotten police reports filed for a range of crimes in recent years, so the general statement that police do not take reports is clearly wrong. Recent crime problems have generated a large number of insurance claims that demonstrate this. San Francisco clearly has serious problems to address, but hysterical and reactionary lies are probably not going to help with that no matter how deep the related emotional trauma may be.

>You build bike infrastructure in the places where you want more of them, not the places where you have more of them. Or as we say in the active transportation advocacy business, they didn’t count swimmers to decide to build the Golden Gate Bridge.

These sorts of statements are analogous to the median vs mean slight of hand (aka lying) that people routinely employ to intentionally mislead.

At the very best it's "not the whole truth". To just build stuff and have it be used to a useful degree you need latent demand for transportation of all forms. These assumptions are generally questionably optimistic or untrue outside of urban areas (like real ones, not the census definition).

A bike lane to a strip mall off the highway that has nothing else immediately around it does nobody any good. Slap up a bus stop. Even if the bus service is crappy it will still benefit somebody.
I'm surprised there are enough books published under the category of "Reverse-harem" to make it its own category along with things like "Horror", "Fantasy", "Business", etc.

This is what got me to get rid of Dropbox. Used them for free for a decade, and they pushed me out by limiting the number of clients. I looked for a paid option for $10-$20 per year since I basically only need a few GBs of space, but they don't have that. So figured I might as well move to my own Nextcloud instance. It's actually still free since I'm using Oracle Cloud's free tier, though of course there's my admin time, but I actually sort of enjoy that.

> Datomic's is perfect for probably 90% of small-ish backoffice systems that never has to be web scale (i.e. most of what I do at work).

I don’t think I agree with this as stated. It is too squishy and subjective to say “perfect”.

More broadly, the above is not and should not be a cognitive “anchor point” for reasonable use cases for Datomic. Making that kind of claim requires a lot more analysis and persuasion.
Yes, and that really hurt the audience more than John Wick.

After that, they were no stakes anymore, because you knew anything could go and it would not matter.

Case in point: in the first (second?) movie, he get stabbed once, and it changes the whole rhythm of the film. You are thinking "oh shit, now everything he does will have to be performed with this wound". And the story matches that, his moves are not the same. He has to overcome this problem, and there is a lot of suffering. It makes you care such much about him.

In the latest one, he gets hit by 3 cars and you go "meh".

I did enjoy JW4, but not remotely as much as the first one, where we were counting bullets and it matched the known gun capacity.

Now it's just another dumb action block buster, albeit a superb one.

It's the tragedy of the common because most viewers will be happy with the DBZ effect taking over. So it's a commercial success. But it has lost part of what made the concept special.

People will remember the feeling of seeing JW1 forever, it set a standard. We compare things to it in the same way we compared things to the Terminator, Alien or the Matrix (twice Keanu? Really?).

It created its own category.

JW4 will just fade away.
The market can be a lagging indicator in this case it seems.
I appreciate the attempt of the author to record the history of 3D games (this is how I took it).

With that being said, from the title, I thought I was going to be reading a history of 3D graphics software. Instead it felt like I was reading a story about the 3d game industry, at least at the end... So, might want to think about that. It didn't feel like a cohesive whole, to me.

There seems also to be a lot of personal bias in this piece toward commercialism of software..

> We can learn much about the tech zeitgeist from those algorithms the conventional wisdom thinks are most valuable. At the very beginning of the 1990s, when “multimedia” was the buzzword of the age and the future of games was believed to lie with “interactive movies” made out of video clips of real actors, the race was on to develop video codecs: libraries of code able to digitize footage from the analog world and compress it to a fraction of its natural size, thereby making it possible to fit a reasonable quantity of it on CDs and hard drives. This was a period when Apple’s QuickTime was regarded as a killer app in itself, when Philips’s ill-fated CD-i console could be delayed for years by the lack of a way to get video to its screen quickly and attractively.

I'm sorry, in my experience, Quick Time was a mainstream mess to be avoided it like the plague. There were way better solutions out at the time, that were not so well known.

> Predictably enough, it all turned into a bit of a fiasco. Crackers quickly reverse-engineered the algorithms used for generating the unlocking codes, which were markedly less sophisticated than the ones used to generate the 3D graphics on the disc. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were able to get the entirety of the most hotly anticipated game of the year for $10. Meanwhile even many of those unwilling or unable to crack their shareware copies decided that eight levels was enough for them, especially given that the unregistered version could be used for multiplayer deathmatches.

> Carmack’s misplaced idealism cost id and GT Interactive millions, poisoning relations between them; the two companies soon parted ways.

Misplaced?, please... I feel like this really biased toward assuming games, and the people that make them, need to be commercially viable to be any good, its almost like this piece is coming from some PR guy.. People reversed-engineered games because that was their contribution to the technological movement of the time, it was, and is, just as important as making software.

Also, I don't think it had anything to do with poison relationships. Its more of a difference of perspective: There were people in the software industry only concerned about making money off of developing software, and there were people that were interested in changing the world from an idealistic perspective. Looking at where we are at now, I'd say the poisoning is done by the people who's only interest in software development is making money.

I took a look at https://github.com/orioledb/orioledb which is a project attempting to remedy some of Postgres' shortcomings, including MVCC. It looks like they're doing something similar to MySQL with a redo log, as well as some other optimizations. So maybe this is the answer.

A censor convinced you that you were wrong. You weren't necessarily wrong at all. You may have been correct the first time. And what is correct when it comes to art? Who is this person to tell you, the artist, that your art is wrong?

Buck Angel and other trans people often disagree completely with the conclusions of these censors, who motivated by exerting power over others. Why listen to them over other trans people? Don't give censors that power over you and your work. You're the artist. Don't let others tell you your art is "wrong". It's not. Stand up for yourself and your art.
This factory isn't the supply chain; it's one small part. It's probably in Louisiana in the first place to satisfy that district's rep.
The reason actually ties into another US problem - the proliferation of very large SUVs, Crossovers and Pickups.

These gigantic cars have a significant problem seeing things close to them, especially if they're small like little kids.

This is why backup cameras are so crucial in the US, but not nearly as much in other countries. Those huge cars need them for safety.

For smaller cars (sedans, coups, hatchbacks) the benefit is a lot less.

That's just a description for Netflix predatory tactics. Their narrative is "against account sharing" (which was historically allowed by them) but the problem is actually "rising licensing costs", so their actual enemy is not users but content owners.

The narrative is important. It's important to reframe this as Netflix going against the less powerful side.

Also, I celebrate this has already cost them 1 million users in Spain alone. I hope this backfires on Netflix globally.

Because its a different model of integrating your database and your app.

It allows you to write queries in a pull style, it can be trigger based, datalog or raw index access. Its by default immutable and allows historical query. It allows meta data on the transaction themselves.

A lot of the time the user builds much of that himself or relays on frameworks to do it.
How the agile manifesto changed nothing
Yeah, our Boston office in the Seaport is great for the (mostly younger) employees who live in the city and can walk or take public transit. And, for our customers coming in for a day or two meeting--which is the main reason we have an office there. For everyone else, our office in the suburbs is much handier. Not that I or a lot of people regularly go into an office any longer, but I'm a pretty easy 30 minute drive to our suburban office or a 2 hour trip into the city (whether I take the train/transit or just drive in).
Part of Taiwan’s defense strategy is that they produce a valuable enough piece of the puzzle that it is at least plausible that the US would step in and defend them if China attacked. This strategy is widely reported, it even has a name, the “Silicon Shield.”

Some might consider it unlikely that we actually would show up, but they are a small island off the shore of a superpower, so they are playing the hand they were dealt as well as they can. And, a small chance of the US showing up is still a pretty big disincentive to starting an invasion.
Pinecone drops $100M investment, as vector database demand grows
It's said that "the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else", and I think there's a huge hunk of truth there!

I don't use your method to help digest books, but I use it heavily when I'm working through a particularly difficult programming problem. And I've found that the less the person I'm explaining to knows about the subject, the more effective the process is. I think it's because it forces me to break the problem down to the bare fundamentals so they can understand what I'm saying.
I'm not exactly sure why you would assume so.

This gives consumers more options, which, wasn't that the stated goal even if I strongly disagree with what the result will look like.

> I just can't "read" in audio

I used to think so too! My listening comprehension is just sad.

But it works great for the "let it flow through you" approach. It feels like I retain nothing and have no idea what I've read. But if I just try to trust my brain and repeat back or explain the content, without feeling like I know it, the words that come out of my mouth are correct.

The key may be that I do this listening while running. Keep the body busy so I don't distract myself and let the mind wander with audio playing in like a guided meditation style.
My main problem with the later parts is, that in the first it was some kind of super killer versus normal but later with the whole mythology it became just a different kind of super hero movie with super villains and bullet proof cloths.

The first part had some part of reality left just like the first Matrix movie where the fights felt more real because the fighters hit each other instead of the standard Kung Fu movie dodging until the deadly blow.

The movies are still fun to watch because of great choreography but to me it doesn't have the same impact like the first. It shifted from "could happen somewhere now" to "happens in a parallel reality"
This applies to abstract things too, like math and language. Don't bother making flashcards for theorems, syntax, or word definitions. You gotta do the work.

I sort of disagree with this, at least with the naive interpretation. That is, if one is saying that "the work" is mutually exclusive with memorizing "theorems, syntax, word definitions <and etc.>" then I definitely disagree. I would posit that "The work" includes (but is not limited to) doing that memorization. So I'd rephrase the original statement as "Don't ONLY make flashcards for theorems, syntax, or word definitions. You gotta do the other work too" or something close to that.

IOW, I think memorization using Flashcards (whether using Anki or not) is a valid part of the process of learning and synthesizing things. At least in my experience, it's a part that adds value for me. But I would agree that just doing that is not sufficient in and of itself.

I will probably not sound very sophisticated, but I would say I just dive in.

E.g. If I want to learn about some historical period/character, I will just read books over books about it until my brain just naturally adsorb it.

If I want to understand CS/nath topics, I will just try to implement what I want to understand until I get it.

Is it akin to banging my head against the wall until I break the wall? Yes. Is it the most efficient way? Probably not. Does it work in the end? Yeah.

Should you be changing 3K rectangles of your interface at 30fps? This seems like a very narrow use case that should be restricted to using Canvas with very specific parts of the application.

Maybe you have graphs/charts that need that kind of rendering effect. Great, use Canvas for them, they're not accessible anyway. But if something like your main user controls are running into that problem, I feel like something has probably gone wrong with your user interface.

In the demo you linked, it makes a lot of sense to render to Canvas for the individual charts, flame charts, breakdowns. It does not make sense to me to render to Canvas for the sidebar. It doesn't make sense to me that the list element itself holding the charts is going through Canvas. That's something in your UI that honestly shouldn't be updating at the speed you're talking about.
I don’t think it’s “the system.”

Common sense says: “Having a higher proportion of the population not working reduces economic output.”

And economics is saying: “Modern economies grow so quickly and reliably, we can increase economic output while caring for an increasing number of dependent people.”

For example, we have retirement communities and nursing homes instead of each offspring caring for their own parents. This reduces the downward pull on output. But the pull is still there.

So common sense and economics say that more dependents reduces output.

I can’t imagine a system where a high number of dependents doesn’t create a downward pull on economic output.

Can you describe a system like that?
