My wife and I have always had “separate joint” accounts. We are both on all accounts.

We’ve been married since 2012. Her check went into “her” account and my check went into “my” account. I paid “my” bills out of my account and she paid “her” bills out of her account. I made so much more than her while she was working, I ended up putting money in her account to make up her spending money short fall.

We both have a zero based budget. After we pay our bills and put aside savings, we could each just look at our own accounts to see what we could spend until the next pay period.

She was mostly working for “her” spending money and provide stable health insurance working part time in the school system for the family while I job hopped rebuilding my career.

Then in 2020, I fell into my current $BigTech job and I didn’t want her to be in the school system because of a little world wide pandemic and I “retired” her.

Before that, we talked about how much she would need to be comfortable. That amount gets deposited into “her” account when I get paid.

While we talk about all of our long term goals and neither one of us make big purchases without talking to the other, what we do with our allowances there are no questions asked.
This is at least as much (if not substantially more) to do with boomers who have entitlements wildly unimaginable to anyone younger.
What's going on with the x-axis?
I posit two major reasons.

1. Command and control - Human in the loop is still a necessity because common delivery environments are too complex for an algorithm to navigate successfully so far.

2. Energy - it takes too long to recharge a drone battery pack. Flying is very energy intensive and there just isn't a way to refuel fast enough from the hub for this to make sense yet. The tested, working alternative is to use a two stroke engine but the pollution per mile from those is astronomical.
There has long been overlap better Adafruit and Arduino devices.
Not when more and more people can no longer afford place to live and lots of other things for which prices have skyrocketed.
Did you ask those people whether they have the same desires in their old age as they did when they were younger?

EDIT: my question comes across as combative and snarky. I honestly hope your strategy works out. Just for me the life I now enjoy in my 40s is not one I ever thought I'd want and it was a rough fews years getting over that.

> As powerful as current computer technology can be, there are a few hard limits to it. Data is encoded into just two states – one or zero. And this data is stored and processed in different parts of a computer system, so it needs to be shuttled back and forth, which consumes energy and time.

This kinda reads like someone who doesn't know how storage works. Storage is rarely encoded as "one and zero" in the form you see it, say, in a hex editor. In fact that's what's it decoded to. Storage schemes vary, to limit run length, add error correction, and in some cases includes analog states like the ones described in the article, to make more efficient use of charge and material state.

This is trivial, because actually the smallest unit you work with in a computer is not a bit, but a byte. And often in fact a word, which is typically 16 bytes (64 bits), or 64 bytes (512 bits) the size of a cache line, or even 4096 bytes, the size of a typical memory page or disk sector. So we have plenty of leeway to comfortably encode these larger units however we wish, and the rest can stay as-is.
I think it depends where in the world you live. Where I live most homeless people have bank accounts, and many even receive some kind of income - their income just isn’t enough to pay for housing.

Also, homeless people can sometimes be homeless for other reasons such as family issues, or poor mental health.

It’s a complex issue. So, I think QR codes for homeless might be the least of their worries.
A lot of people who are living in deprivation are not thinking about long term goals, they’re thinking about survival today so a lot of their decisions and actions will be about what they need today. This makes it more difficult to overcome the challenges of being in deprivation.

I was homeless for a short time when I was about 18 - I never begged though with street signs, I slept on different friends couches or floors at night.
It was only for about 3 months, but every time I had money, I spent it on food. No long term thought processes were happening.
As youve identified, energy cuts across everything. It is a very broad indicator of wealth. Energy austerity is still austerity even if you think its better for the environment.
Size is denominated in terms of some measure. You don’t eat dollars, and you can’t build a house out of one. GDP has doubled, but so have US prices. Does that mean the economy is actually stronger? Using PPP simply chooses to denominate GDP in terms of things other that fiat currency.
> Making a flat statement that the gospels are "not independent nor consistent" is not settled or universal assessment.

The Earth is round is not a universally accepted statement either. NPOV doesn’t mean living equal time to everyone with an opinion.
If the fine is so large it bankrupts the company, I feel optimistic about its effectiveness as a deterrent.
Different religion, but my ex-wife's family were all baptists and I've never met women as angry at men as the older women in that family. They had obeyed and submitted and got angrier and angrier as the decades wore on. Didn't help that, despite the strict religion, there was a good bit of alcoholism amongst the men.

They did have very good food at the family reunions, and a big family, but that's about the limit of positive characteristics I can enumerate. (Not that everyone was bad, a few cousins managed to join the modern world of loving-kindness and science).
I turn 39 in a week, and I might be hitting something like a mid-life crisis. Though I'm successful by many metrics, there's so much I wanted to do by this point in my life that I've been feeling like a failure. For instance, there's been this side project that I first got the idea for in 2014 and have been actively working on since 2017, and I still haven't released it yet because I keep going back to the drawing board and overthinking everything. I'm terrified that my body is slowing down and I won't have the energy to see it through.

I just saw Miyazaki's latest "The Boy and the Heron." I'll refrain from commenting on it as I intend to respect Studio Ghibli's intention of giving audiences a fresh viewing without any prior notions.

Like with most Miyazaki films, the entirety of Japan is rushing into theaters. Tickets are difficult to get. I wish there were many more filmmakers that captured the public's attention like this.

The videos appear to be those of cops pulling out of a parking lot with their personal vehicles after their shifts are over.

They're just a few of a much larger set of examples of those in US police departments showing little regard for the very laws they are supposed to enforce, though I admit window tints and front license plates seem rather tame to me.

However, it would be of no surprise to me should someone who themselves received an expensive ticket or tickets for it made it their mission in life to document off-duty cops' violations of the same.
What code says you’re “not supposed to”? Why is that morally correct?

And most importantly, how do you account for the fact that in the U.S. there are about 53 million people in low wage jobs, but only about 33 million high school and college students? What are those other 20 million workers “supposed to” be?

As someone who’s definitely nearing or within a MLC, I’m so fed up with this narrative. It’s pure and simple survival bias. Most of the people doing exactly this end up frustrated, poor, forgotten, incapable of recognizing their own narcissistic personality, and surrounded by scattered/broken/dysfunctional relationship.
A very tiny minority, despite all that, gets successful, and yet we build entire narrative universes around these few outliers and their survival bias.

>That's on me, of course...

Yeah, should have used, um, who?

Is there no solution to this pain that is actually suggested (designed) by Apple? I would expect there is /something/ that they can do for you for a small, recurring fee.

Apple are the worst UI company in the world bar none.

Sum up the total amount of utterly needless pain and wanton destruction of the time of their customers and nothing comes close in the wide field of "computing". Yet they have the "Good ui" reputation, which is insane.

When people got shocked by this 15 years ago I used to ask them: "Do you know /anyone/ who owns an iPod? Think of them, three names. Now of those three do you know anyone who has not had their music collection deleted by apple software against their wishes? Among those three? No? Anyone at all?"

Nowadays there isn't one example that sabotaged literally every user, instead there a many and it has become which subset of the Apple customer smashes got you? Ask your friends. Note the solution to pay apple more.

Apple are the shiny, vicious trap. Google are less shiny so it is impossible to sustain the illusion that they do "good ui." Microsoft haha. And from there Apple have consistently led the way in the race to the bottom of customer abuse - you've got nowhere else to go! You can't survive the modern world without this stuff! But sure, Facebook, Microsoft, Google are really quick to match and desperate to find niches in which they can lead and Apple copy.

Yeah maybe so. I wfh and only do a couple of road trips a year - tolls are inapplicable, I barely ever need to pay for parking, and of course there’s occasional maintenance costs but I just cannot imagine those adding up to anywhere near $10k, that’s off by an order of magnitude in my experience. If I spent more than a grand on my car per year, I’d be doing it wrong, in my book.

Maybe if you buy a really expensive car, and you drive it all the time, and it’s really expensive to maintain / repair - I guess. But like - aren’t you choosing an expensive route, in that case? The person I was replying to made it sound like doing away with cars altogether was the reasonable option, rather than what seems like a no-brainer to me: just keep a less expensive car. I suppose that’s a luxury (ha) I can afford?
ML languages aren't really OOP similarly neither is Rust really. There's a beautiful middle ground between piles of functions and types with purpose that doesn't suffer from the swamp nor the over abstracted mess that a lot of paradigms offer. Okay I'll get off my high horse but I recommend trying one of these paradigms someday if you haven't already. Traits are wonderful.
Deprecated in microcontroller land means you should probably move away sometime within the next 10 years or so. And being on the bleeding edge can be quite painful. So I think Xtensa based ESP32 was a good choice, for a first board. It will have the best support for at least another 3 years. And possibly way longer.

Also, arguably the entire Arduino brand started on a deprecated (and much less capable) platform, the Atmel AVR8. It was not an issue either.
This is hustle porn. All of Kleon's books are hustle porn. A lot of, "you just gotta, like, do, man." Not a lot of whatever the hell that means for the millions of folks who exist in the long tail of every creative market, struggling day in and day out to try to escape the doldrums of their day jobs, but never making it. Year after year. YouTube video after YouTube video. New social media site after new social media site. Kleon's (and others like him, one of which I would consider Paul Graham) success is in no small part due to selling you a story that success is attainable.

But it's probably not. Hustle porn makes its bank on you thinking you're going to be the one to beat the odds. You're probably not. You buy the books and t-shirts and the prints and the seminars and you fill the coffers of someone else's success.

You probably don't even really want success. If you play the "and then what?" game on "what would you do if you had what you want?", you'll eventually realize all you want is happiness. Success isn't happiness. There are lots of successful, deeply unhappy people.

Focus on the happiness. You can make a thing. And you can absolutely not sell it. You can make a thing and not even tell anyone about it. If making a thing makes you happy, focus on that. The rest is a distraction, someone else telling you that making the thing isn't enough, that it has to be "successful" before it's "real".

Yes, happiness is easier when you're financially stable. That's not the same thing as the "success" that hustle porn tries to sell. Hustle porn needs you to remain dissatisfied so you keep buying the hustle porn. Do what it takes to be financially stable. It's good if you can make that be your source of happiness, too, but get ready to accept that you probably can't.

Just choose to be happy. How? You just do. You just decide, "I'm going to be happy." And then it happens. It's really fuggin' weird, but it works.
One generally introduces read replicas to overcome I/O and network bottlenecks: how does relying on a single datastore perform in circumstances where having multiple colocated copies of the data would speed things up?

Btw, this is an interesting take on "serverless" terminology too: most other providers would call this "managed Postgresql".

Yet this exact feature might enable something akin to "serverless Postgres": quick spin up and tear down allowing for short-lived instances responding to load (scaling setting should be differently laid out too: scaling configuration is too "serverfull"), but whatever Neon had before could not be "serverless".

I recall my parents both independently confiding to me that the other was going through a midlife crisis and I think what they were actually doing was just trying to define the others behavior as the cause for their own unhappiness. And specifically push me into believing one or the other was the one behaving oddly.

If you’re experiencing a midlife crisis, please be honest and straightforward with your partner, and the other people in your life. You’re feeling the loss of opportunity and possibility, but that doesn’t mean everything about your life is wrong. Your partner may be able to help.

Well here is an actual study that found the poorest 20% of Americans consumed more goods and services than the average people from affluent countries. Including Europe.

This matches my anecdotal observations of everything being smaller in Europe, people owning less, and energy being so expensive.
Because it used to be a highly extensible browser for power users without spyware and adware.

Then it stopped being extensible at first, then the management went "woke" with all LGBTC++ inclusiveness and other CoC bullshit, fired/made go lots of good core developers and then it all went to shit in accelerated mode.
I don't think any of your typical car thieves are actually picking locks. For a traditional mechanical key ignition, generally they're going to break into the steering column and just hotwire the right connections together, or possibly jam a strong tool in the keyway and forcibly twist the cylinder depending on the design of the lock. Obviously that won't spoof a signal from a fob or other electronic signal, but it's why having a traditional mechanical lock on the ignition isn't really worthwhile. If the electronic communication is secure, a mechanical lock doesn't add value.

Maybe it's different for very high-end vehicle thieves, though.

High-skilled labor often depends on low-skilled labor, though. If you want a chip factory, you'll first have to find someone to pour the concrete. There is no reason that being "below the average" has to imply being a net negative, both high-skilled and low-skilled labor are essential for a well-functioning economy.

I'm not expecting perfection. But I am treating my life a lot like navigating in a sailboat. You have to have your eye on the horizon and use the stars the guide you. You can't always reach your destination in a straight line, but you also shouldn't be way off course.
In theory, sure. In practice literally every person I know with singular checking accounts has to check in when making any purchase more expensive than a tank of gas and expect the same from their significant other.
"How do you live with yourself?"

Huh. I read the new English translation of the book and came away with just that sentiment: Copper lets his friends down and has to figure out how to go on.
You injected the word "happiness" I did not.

Yes,I just read a bit about it and will check it out as soon as I get back to a computer (traveling). The math problem sounds like it should have been solved quickly (something akin to parse the language part, identify it as math w/o having the user say so, & hand it off to something like Wolfram Alpha plugin).

Yes this is indeed moving fast, and at some point if it can perform all the functions well enough , it's pragmatically intelligent.

The wild history of MDMA: 5 Questions for author Rachel Nuwer
Let's visit Tokyo jungle in this July or August. F*cking hot and moist now.
Welcome to the club!
A lot of all this comes from the highly unrealistic expectations that we set for ourselves that make us incapable of appreciating how much we actually achieved and how much we already got.
Now, knowing that’s the source of the discomfort is great. Actually being able to live with it and let it go it’s totally a different story.
I use Equal. I use it in the two cups of coffee that I have each day (7AM and 4PM). I don’t usually drink any kind of soda (on the very rare occasions that I might have one, is is sugar), and don’t chew gum. If I eat candy or sweets (not that often), I use good-old-fashioned-not-good-for-you sugar.

I don’t drink alcohol, exercise for about an hour, each day, and try not to be too crazy in my diet.

But I live on Long Island, New York, and I drink a lot of tap water. Even filtered tap water is questionable.

That probably far outweighs any risk from asparatame.
"Alto Trek (in the Alto's 606×808 portrait ratio screen)"

That's higher than I would've expected for the time. That's more than half as many pixels as a Switch screen. I was born 11 years after this and I remember using 800x600 as my main desktop resolution.

On that note, anyone know of the reason for the weird resolution of 808x606 instead of a more round number like 600x800?

I can only find this document:

"The display controller handles transfers between the main memory and the CRT. The CRT is a standard 875 line raster-scanned TV monitor, refreshed at 60 fields per second from a bit map in main memory. The CRT contains 606 points horizontally, and 808 points vertically, or 489,648 points total"

https://bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/alto/Alto_Hardware_Manual_Au...

which explains more detail but doesn't really explain how they arrived at those numbers. I assume it's something to do with vblanking or something but I don't understand it.
Right, so, do you know how to hunt? Can you start a fire without matches? Ever skin an animal?

I can do 1/3 there, only because of years in boyscouts, and there's no way in hell I'd survive without artificial augmentation, regardless of where you put me, I'm simply not prepared for it, same as almost everyone else.

If you're not basically the primative technology guy from youtube, very slim odds you'd figure it out quickly enough.
This combined with using a secondary SMS for daily use means a quick and easy way to protect your account. I also agree this is a win.

Many homeless people don't want to be part of "society" in that if they wanted to do paperwork and deal with welfare state BS they could probably find a way not to be homeless. Just like collecting cans is a shitty job and if you could do it you could probably work somewhere that pays better, but at least it's on your own terms.

If I saw a person with a QR code I'd assume they are someone who wants to game whatever system (and so has other options besides my donation). If they wanted to deal with a financial institution, they can do all the other BS. I'd rather give money to someone who appears to have rejected that.
