Born and grew up in the PNW, never took shoes off inside until I married a Chinese. You might be walking in with wet shoes, assuming you aren’t just walking from the drive way to your door. Actually, I bet if you walk more than drive it is more important to (a) have rain boots at all and (b) take them off when you come inside.
This was more or less how I did it in my reversible rust project. Though I was only really interested in reversibility.

A well established dynamic in business is the “flywheel” or “virtuous cycle”. Yes, there is a chicken and egg problem here. That doesn’t in any way make it impossible to get the flywheel going. You just need to invest time, money, and energy to support/subsidize each part of the cycle.

The hardware is probably being sold near to cost, thus speeding up that side of the adoption cycle. And courting developers will allow them to build up the app ecosystem.
Absolutely agree, I very much prefer it
My concern with this move isn't that "telemetry" is a boogie-man word but that it is a slippery slope that we have seen far too many companies slide down on.

The progression seems to be: No telemetry -> Opt-in telemetry -> Opt-out telemetry -> Always on telemetry -> Yeah we sell whatever data you give to us to the highest bidder, what are you going to do about it?

Speaking as someone who has this deployed at work and would be loathe to go through the trouble of having to swap this out, we need to send them a strong enough message at this stage so that they stop experimenting with this further.

Sure? Why would you do anything to help someone who’s trying to tear down your business?

Don’t expect long term love for UE from Amazon or Sony or Microsoft, either. They all know that Epic’s end game is to get regulators to force platforms to allow Epic as a competing app store. Let others take the risk, swoop in and undercut once there are profits to be had.

Nobody is going to want to fund that. It will take a decade or more, but UE is doomed unless Epic divests it or gives up on the predatory app store / regulatory business model.

I arrived at modal editors via Helix. I had bounced off (neo)vim multiple times, primarily due to the verb-object editing scheme, and initially found Helix to be a godsend.

That said, I had an editing paradigm too opinionated even for Helix, so I mangled my Helix config into what I thought at the time was my dream editor.

Over time, though, I started to "see the light" of Vim's ways. I'd run into this or that use-case, realize that I had mapped the key for it to something that fit my custom paradigm ideas, and one by one, switched back to the defaults. Eventually, my Helix config became more Vim-y. So I switched to Neovim and didn't look back.

I got really into the plugins and customization, and while yes, I still do have a good bit of plugins and a somewhat large config, it's become more and more stock with time.

It took me a long time to get it, but the Vim model really is truly brilliant. I still appreciate Helix (and by extension, Kakoune), and I'm happy I went through the weird twisty road that I did, but ultimately I found that the ways in which those two differ from Vim were indicative of me "clinging" to old editing habits from more "standard" editors. It took truly diving in and accepting that maybe, just maybe, I didn't have better ideas than a 50-year old editor that's stood the test of time, to see it.
> I want terminal editor that does not need me remembering keyboard shortcuts to edit things.

Keyboard shortcuts are essential to increase efficiency and speed. For example, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-s, ctrl-p, ctrl-a etc. People learn these early on if they regularly have to input/edit text to speed up their workflow. Otherwise, they would have to resort to pointing and clicking through menus to accomplish the same thing.

The longer you use an editor, the more of these shortcuts you commit to (muscle) memory, so, even if the commonly used editing operation is easily accessable via the GUI interface, people are going to choose the keyboard shortcut to do the same thing since it's faster.

> When opening that editor, you should not be greeted with tutorial. It should be simple to do things so that tutorial is not even necessary.

You could navigate with the mouse or arrow keys in either vim or emacs. The only thing you would have to learn is how to save the file. You may not even have to learn that because both vim and emacs display a dialog box asking you whether or not you want to save the file if you try to exit the editor without saving first.

While Toronto housing market may not be as expensive as Vancouver on average, it is still more expensive than pretty much anywhere else in Canada. Toronto is not as geographically squeezed as Vancouver, and number of high-rises built lately and being built now is off the charts.

C was not more understandable than existing options at the time.

You know that cdecl program to explain C declarations? There never was a pdecl for Pascal, or mdecl for Modula or what have you.

C is terse and cryptic; and that's what appealed to some of the programmers.

You could get the machine to do what you want and---bonus!---programmers not versed in C cannot read your code!

This would have been a selling point to assembly language programmers: switching to C would be like a lateral move to a different priesthood.

The article explores the concept of reevaluating ideas we consider bad and highlights the importance of questioning our assumptions. The author shares a personal experience of interviewing Jimmy Fallon and initially hesitating to request a follow-up call for additional information. However, when the author finally reached out, Fallon expressed appreciation and saw it as a sign of thoroughness rather than a burden. This interaction made the author question other ideas they had deemed bad. The article suggests asking simple questions to challenge our assumptions: Why do I think it's a bad idea? How do I actually know it's a bad idea? Am I the only one who thinks this? What's the worst that can happen if I'm wrong? The author encourages seeking social information and considering others' experiences before making a decision. They also share a personal realization about asking for favors, discovering that it can strengthen relationships instead of burdening others. The article concludes by encouraging readers to take risks, embrace possibilities, and engage with the world to gain experiences and potentially benefit others. The author also refers to a previous newsletter about focusing on one's strengths rather than trying to do everything.

> Reactive declarations and statements are useful features, just remember not to abuse them, otherwise you may end up switching Svelte’s productivity by headaches and infinite debug sessions

I wish they got into more of that; I've heard of stories but I've never run into this after several years of building Svelte projects, so I'd love to learn so I don't make those mistakes myself

> Svelte’s lack of protagonism

This doesn't look like it reflects on the system itself? I'd rather have something that works well and doesn't focus on flashy-ness. I guess the real downside is that there are such few plugins / tools for Svelte compared to React, but with Rich Harris working with Vercel on Svelte, I can only see things go up from here — like Vercel AI having out of the box Svelte support.

???

Who is this list meant for? Seems kind of odd to penalize France because of pension protests

Am an American so might be lacking details, but my understanding is that Macron decided to raise the retirement age which was highly unpopular, and people were pissed off because of it? How do those protests make France "less livable"? If anything, it makes it more livable by my book.

Seems like Economist is just airing political grievances. Usually whenever I see these lists (e.g. "livability index", "democracy index", etc), the list maker shuffles around the top 10-20 countries in order to grind some political axe

> “The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure,” it reads. “As a result, simply focusing on classing the vessel does not address the operational risks. …”

The low occurrence of mechanical failure results from rigorous manufacturing, testing, and inspection. No one should have trusted their life to someone displaying such flawed reasoning.
The vehicle needs to be moved around above the water. There's a limit to how much weight can be moved around on the transferring boats. So that's why weight matters.

As far as why fiber is a better choice, the bigger the sub the more people it can carry. the more people it caries the better the company can cover costs. Specially since the sub cost is a one time fixed cost and the supporting costs are recurring variable costs. So it's worth making the vehicle as large as possible. Long term a bigger sub will be a better choice to get to profitability.

It's all a guess on my part.

> That city is overloaded with meditation, drugs, mysticism

Overloaded with the pretense of it more likely, for the benefit of tourists who go there in search of a quick pseudo-mystical high.

> As these concepts became popular in the west past few years

That's a common misconception. Mysticism and related experiences actually have a history in Western culture going back thousands of years. In the Middle Ages, it was completely normal and in fact encouraged for young people to seek unity with God through direct mystical interaction, and the many mystical writings from that time (most of them authored by ordinary monks/nuns and priests) are a testament to that.

I recommend the 1915 book Practical Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill as an example of what modern Western mysticism can look like. It's available on Standard Ebooks in a high-quality, free edition[1]. The author, who wrote during WWI, considers mysticism a natural part of everyday life, without ever feeling the need to reference "The East" or other New Age tropes.

If you really can't wait, just go out and buy a Quest for 1/7th the price and start doing it today. It's a rounding error on what you will pay for Vision Pro and you can get an idea early of what it will be like.

(I probably would recommend waiting for Quest 3 in a couple of months though ... it'll be so much more like the Vision Pro ...)

> That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me.

> If I (the first party) have given data to a company (the second party), and that company is sold to someone else (the third party), then my data was sold to a third party.

Well. I can see where you are coming from, but we have to be able to differentiate between

a) an ongoing 1p<->2p relationship, where 2p is selling data to a 3p

b) a relationship, where the entire 2p gets replaced

These two setups are clearly not equal. There is a distinction. And a difference.
Because working slowly and rewriting code typically leads to better code. By taking it slowly you grow more familiar with what you want, it gives you more time to think, and its generally more enjoyable.

This culture of “fast coding” is a major reason software ends up so flawed. People are so enamored with quantity they completely forget quality along the way. And that means everyone suffers.

THC affects people very differently in my experience. It can really run the gamut from sedative to stimulant to psychedelic depending on the person. I don't think the sativa-indica dichotomy can fully explain this because the same variety of effects can be seen from a single bowl or bag of edibles.
Wow, I got that work. Took about 20 tries but I could see what you meant from the way the page visibly loads. F5. Wait for it... ESC. If you see the "Get The Full Story" banner, repeat with a different timing between F5 and ESC.
I've worked at a fair few companies of various sizes. I've never seen this behavior. Many SWEs I've known are on stimulant ADHD meds, but I've only ever found out about it after knowing them for awhile. The same goes for people in other professions though - I think I actually know MORE people outside of tech than in it that take are prescribed ADHD meds. And I definitely have never heard people sharing strategies for getting their dose upped. TBH most ADHD people I know (but not all) seize any chance they can to skip taking their meds. I wonder if you work in a particular field? I've never worked in finance but that aligns with the totally unjustified stereotype of that industry.

Usually the question of why I'm avoiding doing the thing I need to do is answered with "ADHD".

On iOS you don't have root. This prevents you doing many things with it, which is why jailbreaking exists. The fact that you can write an app and deploy it directly to a restricted number of devices for testing (if you're on the Apple Developer Program and own a Mac) doesn't change that.

Try altering the iOS home screen behaviour, directly accessing the filesystem, writing your own device driver or tweaking the kernel. You certainly don't have "bare metal access" except by voiding your warranty and risking bricking your device by jailbreaking it, if there even is a jailbreak exploit that currently works on your device.

All photos are edited in their taking. As such, all images represent a "fake" reality. The only difference between an AI "fake" image and photograph is the camera.
I have these ambivalent feelings toward it. I worked in public sector digitalisation for a decade during the “transition” where alcohol went from being normalised to banned in the work place. This was obviously a good thing for soooo many reasons, but one of the unintended side effects could have been an impact on decision making.

Now this is, very, very, anecdotal, I have no research to back it up and I’m sure a million other factors had an impact as well. But along side the ban of alcohol we also seemed to lose the ability to make decisions and simply get things done. Upper management and political leadership became much more risk aware and we lost the “bang in the table, I’ve had enough of this talk, let’s just get it done” decisions. When I later moved into the green energy industry, in an investment bank that turns investor money into profit by building/buying+renovating solar plants and eventually selling them. I saw this “let’s just get this done” attitude again, once again coupled with rampant alcohol consumption.

I think it would be interesting to see if there was any research on the impact substances have on “just getting shit done”, but I’m in digitalisation and I’m never going to do it. I do personally think the work place is a little more boring with the puritan take on substances, but on the flip side, you don’t have to look into many statistics to see how the ban have helped soooo many people to not ruin their lives.

What's on social media is memes vaguely referencing that stuff, and cranks congratulating each other for doing it, usually in a "New Age" type context.

I recently had a thought provoking conversation with a carpenter near me: he told me that Amazon (and other online storefronts) have completely warped consumers' expectations around furniture, from grossly overpaying for cheap pieces to normalizing a materially worse customer experience (paying for the "privilege" of expedited delivery, when any honest local store will do a same-day dropoff for free or a nominal fee).

I haven't bought anything from Amazon for years, and my experience has been that this applies to nearly everything that I would have bought from them: buying it locally is cheaper, faster, with a better guarantee of quality, and with a human being (including often the manufacturer) on the other end.
