I was also fairly obsessed with modding this game, which is strange because I'm not really a massive Star Wars fan.

The cog language (more or less C syntax) was far more powerful than the base game really made use of. I think the grappling hook mods really got me started though, the engine wasn't super modern but few games really sold the vertigo of wide open cliffs and pits like this one did. I like tinkering with it far more than I did playing it. Cog seemed almost bolted on and the base cogs really only were sort of complicated for weapon handling and scripted level events. But I remember making laser trip mines (and the ability to shoot the mines with a blaster), a crude rope for the grappling hook, reloading weapons, etc. By the time I moved on I was implementing A* pathfinding for a replacement AI written in cog. I'd switched to Mysteries of the Sith just to get access to more cog verbs.
And bots/autonomy.
Europe's CCS and America's CCS are already incompatible (CCS1 vs 2).
Yeah don't think retrofitting would be feasible anywhere tbh. Would require regional pushes to implement probably
A major problem Reddit has is that if they go down that route, a "community" will become "the set of people who clicked 'join'". That isn't a very strong definition of "community" to build things like voting mods in and out on.

Right now the mods are the only source of continuity within a community. Let people vote and you get mod vote brigades, and a realistic chance that every major sub on the site becomes /r/politics, regardless of what letters follow the /r/ in the URL, because everyone will vote out anyone who tries to prevent it.

The other thing too is that the entire purpose of a mod is basically to make enemies. The angry people, the unpleasant people, the very people you want them to tone down or ban are also the ones who will vote with maximum vigor. And bot nets, slander campaigns, personal threats, these are the people who have no lines. As a moderator myself, who does it for my own reasons, if I had to "defend" my moderation powers against a community slander campaign I wouldn't so much as lift a finger. I may well just make the ringleader a mod on my way out. I have no motivation to fight that fight. And if that's kind of what you want to hear from your moderator, rather than having a moderator who actually will engage in a community reputational deathmatch to keep their powers, you probably shouldn't encourage a structure that will even further reify needing to spend a ton of energy in politics just to keep their janitorial position.

I think Reddit could survive simply removing the mods & replacing them. I won't guarantee thriving, and it may not economically survive, but some number of users would still keep going. I think making it so communities can vote out mods (and probably by a simple majority vote of those who bother to vote, as is the American Way) actually would kill them, because of the second- and higher order effects of that change. The end result of the Mod Wars of 2023 would be the metaphorical equivalent of the Sahara Desert I referred to in an earlier post [1]. The only people who would persist in such an environment are exactly the ones that you want moderators to remove.

I'm in exactly 0 groups, never been in one, and I got the same email.
I feel like there's a more general concept of "bijective index" that subsumes LSHs and cryptographic hashes. When I think of hash I usually think of modulos, randomness, etc. when in general they're just ways of creating a set that's 1:1 to your inputs.
Well... yes... and climate change is going to be responsible for more and more of that as it affects food scarcity, habitable land, drives refugees (which has political ramifications with xenophobia and nationalism), and conflict over finite resources.
Systemically, conscription can be "better" if it is randomized and includes everyone. "Volunteer" Armies just means that rich parents can decide to start wars without worrying that their kids might be sent to fight.

> "Tesla is good at a small handful of things, and making cars is not one of them."

Tesla is manufacturing EVs at much greater volumes than almost anyone else, and doing so very profitably. They also score consistently high on customer satisfaction. Seems like making cars is exactly what Tesla has become very good at in recent years?

Sure, Tesla may not make the most luxurious, nor the cheapest cars on the market. But right now they seem to be very successfully hitting a sweet spot in the middle.
Free offerings are a marketing expense via extended trial run. It is more productive for society to give away limited product offerings at little marginal cost than to put the equivalent into more advertising, salespeople, and influencer campaigns.

If I want to find out which git hosting to use, it would be great to try out Gitlab, GitHub, and Bitbucket first (and everyone else try them) so we could assess genuine product usefulness as a group rather than rely on Twitter ads or astroturfing here (no bearing on product)
Are the results really that much better? I use DDG and paying $10/mo for a search engine seems like a tall order, especially when I don't know if Kagi can be that much less broken than Google.

I don't understand how any of these cloud wrapper companies will make their VC money back. Doesn't Vercel only have ~$25 million in ARR yet is somehow valued at $2.5 billion [0]?

If a company is using Vercel to start up, they're pretty good for what you get, but eventually AWS (which Vercel wraps) will win out in pricing, even counting hiring devops/cloud/backend engineers.

Try getting 8 hours+ of sleep a night. There is tons of research that 8 hours or more is needed (and most people in modern society dont get that). There will be plenty of people that come out of the the woodwork and say "but I only need 4!". That's statistically incredibly unlikely--winning the lottery unlikely. Humans need sleep. If you are working out a lot and only getting 7 hours, that's probably your problem. It also matters when/how you sleep.

Try to stay consistent. Your body's sleep cycles like to be on schedule. You'll always go through the stages, in order, throughout the night, but the duration of each stage shifts throughout the night--with the bulk of your REM sleep happening in the early morning hours/right before you wake up. For example, if you wake up 2 hours early one morning, you may have only cut your overall sleep by 30% but you may have cut your REM sleep by 50-60% --that's important for concentration, recall, and emotional processing. Similarly, if you stay up really late, you cut into the deep and light sleep that's physically restorative--especially if you are working out.

If you go to bed at varying times each night or wake up at wildly different times in the morning, you kind of make it tough on your body to get into a rhythm.

Limit coffee to 2 cups (nothing after 10am), and make sure you are staying hydrated.

It's normal to feel a little sluggish in the early afternoon after lunch, but you shouldn't feel exhausted or super tired.

If you are feeling super tired to the point where you are falling asleep at your desk, you may want to get checked for sleep apnea.
Without libc, most compiled programs will struggle to run as well. That "print" is a human readable command in Python is besides the point.
> the average user who is there just for the memes and doom scrolling the latest news.

Most platforms are only still alive because of the doomscrollers. They contribute a large chunk towards the DAUs (Daily active users). Ragebait and infinite scrolling just to get eyeballs on ADs is a terrible business model though. There has to be some other model that brings in revenue. Mastodon is coasting along nicely on donations and pocket money, but, still it has its issues.
What is "stupid", or even controversial, about the idea that society should be organized to provide for people's needs? To suggest that society should be a zero sum economic gladiatorial affair, that that's the best our species can do or should strive for, seems like a failure of imagination to me.
My advice here won't be one-size-fits all and there's far too much to cover against your company's mission to just give you a hot list of tools I like.

The biggest line of battle is going to be Google Workspace vs Office 365. I'm fine with them both, but not fine with giving them both to everyone. The problem is, if the majority of your company's documents and drive data is fractured over both MS and Google's clouds, it's going to be a nightmare to manage. Choose one and make them your identity provider and life partner. I understand the finance team probably needs a stand-alone Excel license, though.

The other very important part of standardization is hardware. This is something I had to get a bit ruthless about, because managing a fleet over an entirely remote trans-border workforce is expensive if you expect quick turnaround times on onboarding and an immediate replacement for that VIP who just cracked their screen.

I ended up setting up a rapid logistics operation using drop shipping.

Sales, marketing, etc get a 13" Macbook Air M1.
Developers get a 16" M1 Pro because they justifiably need the performance.

No, we don't do custom orders. Not big enough to have spares of all kinds in stock (Apple supply chain lag was a real drag last year). Apple's MDM systems make those machines useless bricks to anyone outside the client's company. (If this sounds like something you need, reach out to me!)

I guess I'll just add that my biggest pet peeve with SaaS vendors is how they want you to pay for the super-duper-expensive package just to get SSO / SAML. That's ridiculous. It's not a cost center for you and it reduces both our risk. If I don't see at least "Sign in with Google" in your cheapest plan, I'm already pissed off as a customer and not going to be your change agent.
Dear Apple, this is bad. You need to fix it
Over 600 results for the infamous "Delete and Report Junk" button being hit by mistake and causing all kinds of consternation. One of the posters hit it by accident on a message from her manager at work. Dozens of similar stories. Here's another example:

"I was selecting multiple messages with multiple people to delete, but instead i accidentally reported as junk. these are close friends and family, will they still be able to contact me? if i message them can they still message back?"

https://discussions.apple.com/search?source=aml&origin=asc_serp&q=Delete%2Band%2BReport%2BJunk

A google search reveals thousands of pages talking about this problem.

And, of course, we all know that there are likely millions of people suffering with this bad UI/UX decision each and every day, people who don't take to the web to seek help.

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst UI/UX decisions I have seen on iOS almost since inception. People truly get stressed when they accidentally press that option instead of "Delete" and there is no way to claw it back. What's worse is that it is physically located where the "Delete" button was before the update that introduced it. Muscle memory being what it is, people go for that location automatically, except that now they reported their mother, sister, boss or husband to the spam lords.

What would be a better UI/UX approach?

First, restore the "Delete" option to the position it has historically held:

Delete
Cancel

Then, add the "Delete and Report Junk" as a SLIDER above the standard "Delete" and with a suitable gap, perhaps with a message:

Delete and Report Junk
Slide to delete message
and report junk to your
carrier and Apple.

Delete
Cancel

That would make it nearly impossible for someone to accidentally report their mother as junk.

The other option would be to add a "Do you really want to..." dialog every time someone presses that button. I would put a slider on that one too. The nice thing about slider actions is that they are difficult to activate accidentally because they require an action that is very different from a tap.
Really nice. Two thoughts:

- generation of machine readable output too, jsonresume for example (https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema)

- use of normalized, structured values for skills and platforms, struct-ure/kg for instance (https://github.com/struct-ure/kg)
Happy to ping you guys over the code if you want to look. It’s probably fairly tweak-able to handle your specific cases.
Why have technology companies become so greedy all over the world these days? Is it because recession is putting pressure on their revenues or have they collectively decided that time to cash in has come now?
Yeah this is not a nice experience I have to say...

100% needs an option to provide which email you want to use (which maybe it could pre-fill with the one it found by default) and ideally it should be entirely optional

But just detecting the email and signing up without any indication is not acceptable IMO
I believe the standard here is to change the handle once enough people complain about it splashing them. That was the case for the faulty handle that splashed me.

So I have lived this experiment. Back when I lived on a submarine in the US Navy, when we went out to sea for several months at a time we made all of our own drinking water and I was the person who ran the distillation plant. When you run the plant almost continuously for months straight in the open ocean, it produces cleaner and cleaner water as the plant's essentially continuously flushing itself. After several months, the water in our potable water tanks would pass all the tests to be pumped straight into the nuclear reactor. All the scum that grew inside the potable water tanks would slowly die, as it had no nutrients to live off of. So the whole crew was drinking Type 1 pure water. When new people came onto the boat mid-deployment, they would often get diarrhea, but they'd acclimate and they'd be fine after a few days. That is my (unscientific) eye-witness first-hand lived experience. I wouldn't be surprised if a fish were very unhappy living in pure water, but I seriously doubt a fish would die in ten seconds.

I would love for Tether to die, personally. So many lies and violations have surrounded them from Day 1.

Not affiliated with Bitfinex.

Misrepresenting attestations as audits. Stating that they had audits but since they were in Mandarin, they wouldn't be released.

Murky banking connections.

Statements from their bank that implies that the bank is heavily in bed with them ("we can see the flows and orders coming into them...")

and on, and on, and on.

Would not shed a tear.
Setting it up through Shopify and using Onport might be an option. It used to be a more reasonably price ($200 range) but it looks like it has raised their prices since Farfetch acquired them. https://onport.com

40A on each phase, so 120A total — at least as I understand it [1]. I think that's plenty to charge a car, but good luck parking on the 4th floor. The oven and hob use all three phases. I think tumble driers used to, but they're now so efficient in the EU it's no longer worthwhile.

Several ordinary 3-phase sockets have been installed by parking spaces in the basement, and are rented by residents with EVs.

but if the UK was invaded, you'd be expected to pick up arms in the kingdoms defense right?
I don't believe this to be true. In the US you have KYC laws which are a part of underwriting. We also use Stripe Connect which also onboards new stripe accounts and can watch the automated underwriting happen.
Agreed on all counts, vehicles are a very complicated product segment so specifics will always matter a lot, but overall running costs are usually going to go in favor of the EV assuming you can charge at home or at your destination. Something like a Prius Prime is probably the only type of vehicle that can realistically compete on running costs for the average consumer and it will probably be a lot more boring than any EV other than the Leaf or Bolt.

I do wish we had seen more performance oriented hybrids at reasonable price points since they get the benefits of instant torque without as much of a weight penalty as full EV but I think that we might already be a bit too late into the EV transition for that.
First reaction: I think you are right. Not only will a large portion of all chargeups happen at home, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the margin is lower.

Second reaction: Maybe there's a business model where most of the profit from a charging station comes from things other than charging (e.g. onsite coffee shop, store, gym, etc) that gives people things to do while charging.

> I don't know how cargo culting figures into this.

Hosting email at big provider as a default option because it is "well known" that self-hosting email is unviable can be considered cargo culting.
You'd be surprised at how much buffering and loading is needed to just playback 1080p content (even directly from your local machine's built-in SSD) in the video editor before it's rendered. It's incredibly frustrating to do video work on "regular"/prosumer (macbook pro) hardware.
I'm pretty sure your examples behave differently from the example programs.

For example, 'console.log' will pretty-print the data structure, rather than a single space separated line, the duplicate counter only reads from one file (with a hard-coded name) and will not correctly handle errors and move to the next file, and your parallel get doesn't seem to print one duration for all requests to complete.
Again. When you tell me I don't understand my own requirements and that I'm clearly hating on a platform because of course it is the best thing in the world and I just don't understand how good it is... well... that's not a way to influence others.

I am happy that macOS works for you. But I am not you and I have different requirements. Requirements that macOS does not fulfill.
Take a walk.

Spread your caffeine out a bit.

Take a nap.

Combine all three! Walk to a coffee shop, slam a coffee, and then take a nap when you get back or on the side of the bike path or something (aka the Power Nap). You'll wake up about an hour later.
Indeed. People who will believe anything instead of facing change will just get MORE ANGRY as that reality forces it's way into their life. They will hit back harder, become more radical, and be willing to push for harsher measures against whatever scapegoat they have found.
Strange how this keeps coming up but is always framed in a manner constrained to advance this argument. Satellite photography of local area parking lots show an extremely large surge in illness in the winter of 2019. If remarkable numbers of people all over the city were suddenly becoming sick then is it odd that researches also fell sick at this time? Abandoning virology in order to pursue the matter as an exciting who did it mystery may not reach correct conclusions.
Problem is that Google search itself has still gone downhill......

I think there are some things that are a bright red line though. I don't think it's prejudicial a black person to avoid people who have a "habit" of going to KKK rallies. Or an immigrant to avoid people who have "one belief" that we should forcibly deport immigrants.

I think for certain habits, beliefs, etc. people who avoid you aren't simply "unwilling to overlook this one bad thing". Maybe that one bad thing is actually just bad enough to poison you the person. [hypothetical you]

I totally agree for the other, more general case though. Not all catholics are pedos and I know plenty of catholics super frustrated with their leadership, excellent and loving people catholicism included.
The real world is way more nuanced than this. Many "free" offerings are not monetization through ads or likewise, they are marketing strategies, and they're good for both company and consumers as they allow evaluation periods with no committment, and in some cases use the business/enterprise revenue to subsidize individual users, which benefits individual users.
The porting of PowerShell happened, Bash obsolescence is still uncertain.
For the large majority of driving PHEVs are superior. They offer identical efficiency for short (<50 mile) trips at a large cost savings. They can handle longish trips where a BEV would wind up dead on the side of the road. Even in the rare circumstances where BEVs are better the advantages are slight.
forgive me if my information is outdated, but:

- You can't retry a failed action, be it manually in the UI or automatically under certain conditions.

- workflows have a pretty low limit for number of jobs - 250 or so. We already split our rspec tests across 300 parallel jobs.

- the UX is full of jank. If I click into an in-progress jobs I often can't see prior logs for the in-progress step until the step completes.

There are also some annoyances that aren't really half-baked, but annoying for Monorepos:

- workflows have to be defined under the .github folder. This means workflows can't be collocated with the code they relate to.

- workflows can't be generated dynamically. At best, you can dynamically trigger predefined workflows, but I don't think they get associated with the PR that triggered them. This makes patterns like dynamically dispatching workflows based on, say, a bazel query for affected rdeps more challenging, if not entirely infeasible.
