It would be nice if we could dismiss baseless, extremely unlikely conclusions, without stigmatizing disclosure of information.

I don't want to support stigma, but I also don't want more baseless stuff added to my life (which it is because my family tends to want me to help process the information whenever someone seeks attention, be it the person disclosing information or journalists covering it or internet commentators.)
The bands I love now are all ones that I discovered by downloading tracks. They weren't played on radio (or the songs that had airplay didn't really represent their catalog). I was a teenager with little ability to go to the store let alone afford to buy albums. I have no moral qualms about getting those tracks.
>As a firefighter you should know putting out lithium battery fire is very different. It burns much hotter, releases toxic gas. You can not use water to put it out, lithium reacts with water and releases more toxic gas. Water is like gasoline.

Dunning-Kruger effect? You are explaining to a firefighter who is presumably trained in this stuff that water makes the problem worse … when a simple Google search shows you that using (a lot of) water is the standard recommended procedure for EV fires across the globe.

I cannot trust a known thief and let them into my house based on their promise not to steal.

I have no way of knowing if they are honest or not and even if they are there's no guarantee that they won't change their mind later.I cannot take the risk and be on guard forever.

I would much prefer not to allow them into the house in the first place.

Google should not have brought this proposal but they did.So, I will not place my trust in Google doing the right thing irrespective of their claims and promises.
Companies are limited liability. FOR THE INVESTORS. What is interesting to me is that corporations currently pursue some means for having as short a lifetime of retention as legally allowed.

But if corporations keeping detailed decision records led to management being the recipient of liability rather than the corporation/profits (and therefore the actual owners of the corp) .... I'm surprised corporations don't actually track internal comms better.

Probably because tort law likes big fat corporations to be the target of class action lawsuits, rather than some far more limited pocket middle manager, and law has aligned to that abstraction (for the good of the lawyer profession).
Maybe time to upgrade your country's readiness to fight EV fires.
10 years is a long time and Eclipse then and now are two very, very different things. Eclipse is amazingly fast for what it does, I think.

Only started using IntelliJ about 3-4 years back (due to Android development) so I don't have any comparison from older days there.
You said it yourself. It's a dick move. Dick moves are inherently unethical.
I would be curious how an AI job in this case would help with the strike breaking. Actors still arguably own their likeness, and it’s legally dubious to use an actors likeness to oust them from a position they would otherwise occupy, but I think it would be very hard to prove in court. I think the real money would be in hiring a legal team robust enough to define this.
The super boring answer?

Get a hotel in like Concord somewhere reasonably walkable from the BART, and take public transportation into the city. If you're going to sightsee, despite what people say, you need a car. I would recommend driving down CA 1, see Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, etc. Take another day to see Napa and the North Bay.

I can't speak for hacker houses but I think you might be disappointed. You'll end up networking with a bunch of college students, and the risk of getting taken advantage of is super high. A better option might be finding specific framework or tool you are interested in on meetup.com. You can also meet a surprising number of people in tech by going to any random bar. You won't be able to throw a stone very far without running into a bunch of tech people.
Yes, the worst are the techies who should know better but insist on using chrome because "it feels slightly faster, therefore I have no choice but to use it." Such people pretending to be victims is complete nonsense.
Well, there is some blame to be put on education system for not going open, but chromebooks are significantly less IT maintenance than average linux laptop.

In ideal world it would be non-profit partnering with hardware vendors to produce <educational linux distro> and certify various devices for it. Then non-profit could continue to develop the systems and vendors would have incentive (schools will buy your hardware) to help.
That figure may include clothing, of which an utter utter majority is plastics-based nowadays.

> The DNS resolver stressed that it doesn’t condone piracy but believes that enforcing blocking measures through third-party intermediaries, that don’t host any content, is a step too far.

I agree, its like asking members of the public to become road traffic cops because they happen to be walking or driving on the road when an offence takes place, highly efficient by virtue of members of the public being present to witness said offence but it sets a dangerous precedence of people taking the law into their own hands.

What Sony wants (and everyone else) is the ability to protect our work and data. Thats the holy grail and there isnt really any way to do this at the moment apart from doing our own hardware, like a betamax player that could also play vhs.
The best option as always is somewhere in between and depends on context. If you’re Netflix or Walmart, localization is a high priority concern and these sort of things need to be considered. If you’re a N=50 company doing logistics for a fishing company, you probably only need to worry about your own internal Char representation that you have complete control over.
I had a few long covid symptoms -- for background, I got covid in early March of 2020, and one of the symptoms I had was complete loss of smell for about a week after, followed by a recovery period that never got me back to 100%. After detoxing with the ingredients in that formula, within a couple weeks my sense of smell is back to what I consider normal, and I feel more clear overall, for lack of a better phrase. I am still taking this formula daily, but more for general health, along with a supplement called Wellness Formula.

I'd say if your Dad is experiencing symptoms around his sense of smell, it wouldn't hurt to try! Most of the ingredients are easy to get online and are great for general health, regardless.

If you grab the ingredients (or a bottle), let me know how it goes! I've been recommending this concoction to people quite a bit lately, and I don't know if it's placebo or what, but it seems to help.

In either case, all the best for you and your father!

Sure but we're talking about if people were forced to take a vaccine. Social pressure, conditions of employment, mandates by government agencies. All of these things can muddy what it means to make a "voluntary" choice.

Yes! One of the many joys of the internet and cheap computers is that anyone can produce music with very little upfront cost compared to before.

If you trawl around through youtube videos with 100 views, obscure bandcamps, audiophile forums, niche discord and subreddits, etc, you can find all sorts of absolutely fantastic music.

It obviously takes some work, but it's a lot of fun to discover as well!

Swap the word "raise" to "influence" if you prefer. A person cannot really influence themselves.
I remember reading somewhere that historically, the alcohol content in beer was considerably lower (as low as 0.5% IIRC) than it is today. I'm not sure if the article takes this into account - I might have missed that detail.
I check for the existence of `window.chrome`. I've never heard of Orion browser before, but based on a brief glance at their website, my guess is that because they allow running of Chrome extensions, they are also replicating at least some functionality provided by Chromium-based browsers, including `window.chrome`.

Thanks for pointing this out, but I won't fix this.
I've personally seen (with a group of about ~20 others) a TR-3B in 1988 at Truckee Airport in Lake Tahoe Ca.

It rose on the horizon over the mountains, way off in the distance.

Then within about 2 seconds it was hovering directly above us about 100 feet up.

It was huge, silent.

I was marching in my Civil Air Patrol group. Our commander was a former SR-71 mechanic when it was still a top secret program.

He was doing the marchine exercise and when we saw the craft we all watched it - then when it basically teleported directly above us - he very quickly ushered us back into our group hangar.

I've seen others - but this was the closest I have been to one.

It has shaped my reality ever since (I was 14 when it happened, and I am 48 now)
Orocommerce: B2B Ecommerce Based on PHP Symfony
I used to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area a lot for work. I could be wrong, but it feels like capping the travel time at 45 minutes is too low. A lot of people down there seem to have commute times more like 1-3 hours each way. I assume the low cap is also why the map also doesn't include the Caltrain heavy rail line that connects San Francisco to cities as far south as Gilroy.
Hey, I really appreciate that. Feel free to email me directly if you'd like to chat, otherwise, I'll see you around the community.
Very wise decision. I know in my own products/code I sometimes have to swallow the tough pill and admit that some things just aren't a good fit for monetization. The market speaks, unfortunately, and it is important to try not to fight it, but instead find something else the market rewards.
Maybe desire for great performance review is much greater in the author than being able to access the Web from his Linux laptop?
As an atheist and a lifelong daydreamer, I don't think atheism (or even antitheism) are opposed to daydreaming at all. You don't have to believe that some possible thing is actual just to daydream about it! That's kinda what makes daydreaming what it is. Why can't (or shouldn't) atheists daydream about anything— even gods?

Of course if you have a kid that enjoys reading, go ahead and let them read for 12 hours a day. That's what I did.

But if the options are no reading and 15-30 minutes of reading every day, I'll pick the latter even if I need a screen time shaped carrot to achieve it.

Just being able to read a full book without having a subway surfers video bouncing next to it is a superpower for under 15 year olds today.
This is probably more real than an actual alien craft being kept a secret for decades.

Ancient aliens plays on loop on history channel 24/7 on top of a plethora of alien moves being made every year.
As well it's the one superstition that all people sort of believe as well. Far right (that isn't hard religious) is deep into these conspiracies. Far left that does shrooms all-day while fondling crystals and playing with tarro cards like Pokemon also like UFOs as well. Even general center left atheist and scientists at least likes the idea of life on a distant plant even if we aren't in possession of an alliance craft.

In school and the work place talking about religion can cause problems with HR/administration or even a lawsuit but you can't get in trouble for talking about aliens.

Even the popular avatar movies tries to mix aliens and religion into an easy native for people even if it's about a human invasion. So much so that people suffer "post avatar depression"

> "fast paced environment" that don't mean anything.

Oh, it means something; usually date-driven development, get stuff out without any care of quality beyond platitudes. Yell at the devs when they're late, then yell at them when they're not because the code is shite.
Absolutely love Setapp and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. The video streaming equivalent of this is Nebula.
It depends a lot on the project and your CPU. Incremental build (build, change 1 thing, rebuild) times are affected more than clean build times, because linking is a larger % of an incremental build.

When I benchmarked it about a year ago (with a fairly large Rust project on a 24-core machine), incremental builds went from ~8s to ~2.7s.
You seem to think the only two options are they're lying or they magically know exactly what they experienced and should be trusted implicitly.

There's a lot more to it than that. People hallucinate and confabulate. People see patterns where there are none all the time. People unintentionally modify their own memories in all sorts of ways whenever they recall them. People believe things with no evidence just because they want to. People embellish their stories to fit the conclusion they want.
We seem to have regular fires in NYC now caused by folk daisy chaining Ebike and Escooter batteries to charge them.

They seem to spread super quickly, be hard to extinguish, and release a lot of toxic smoke.

> Why should the US break up an asset like Google? Would be completely self defeating.

Because in the short term it would disrupt a major company (ala Standard Oil), but in the long term it would allow the US to remain competitive in the global market.

If we allow Google to continue abusing its monopoly power in the US, that guarantees that the US will not be the home of the future technologies of the world. Innovations will be sucked up and killed as acquisitions. Enormous energy will be focused on blatant moat-building like WEI instead of developments that benefit the world. etc.

Thanks that makes sense. But why keep investing into Fuchsia? By all accounts it's quite an expensive hobby.
We will just spend a whole lot more time creating artificial games and goals. Work is a product of a social construct - we don't need to work, we are made to believe work is how we find meaning. We will build out new social constructs - things like competitions, games are all things which we built to create meaning.

Right because that's objectionable speech. You don't need to worry about non-objectionable speech because no one would care to censor it.

I don't know what you mean by freedom on consequences. I guess a consequence of speech could be to get your account banned? If anything Twitter leaving up your objectionable content would result in more likely conferences of being fired or something.
Suggestion: start with Gists! Post markdown files on https://gist.github.com/ - you can migrate them to a proper blog should you set one up in the future.

I'd suggest a regular repo, but GitHub block search engine crawlers from indexing anything other than the README.md file - so Gists are weirdly better for publishing content.

Am I the only one who genuinely doesn't "get" the AI component of the actor strike?

I'm generally in solidarity with labor, but clauses in a labor contract limiting the use of AI in an industry seems kind of insane and unsustainable. Is there any historical analog in the US labor movement?
Wow I would have thought this saved more than a thousand lives a year, thats like a rounding error with the amount of deaths overall a year. Then take into account probably a lot more underage kids get their lives ruined with a drinking conviction and its probably a law that results in overall net harm.

I don't understand these responses. Are you trying to push the window to make people feel like it is unacceptable to be critical of a company's actions?

What if I am a shareholder (I am, through ETFs) of Netflix and I disagree with this? Shouldn't I be allowed to discuss and criticize the action?
That's the trick here though: you don't need any distribution at all for this to work.

You just need something you can link to from your resume, so the hiring manager can click through and see a tiny bit of evidence that you can talk about code or build a project.

As a random trivia about sysadmins: the reason he sync-ed twice is not because "twice is better than once, just to make sure".

Sync is not synchronous. When it is back to the shell there is no guarantee that data in memory is fully copied to disk.

However, it sets a flag that is reset when the copying is done. Sync will hang if the flag is set.

So the first sync arms the copy and sets the flag and is back to the shell.

The second sync starts, blocks at the flag. The flag gets reset and it is back to the shell.

So the 2nd sync going back to the shell is a guarantee that the first sync is fine and data is safe

Building Expo apps locally is not going to be removed. I am one of the cofounders of Expo.

Being able to build your app on your own hardware is a relatively fundamental feature of any application software framework. The Expo framework is free and open source and we consciously keep it decoupled from Expo Application Services (EAS), which is a suite of hosted services we manage.

Two of the ways to build your app are:
- Entirely locally, without EAS: generate your native Android and iOS projects with "npx expo prebuild:{android,ios}" and build your app with Android Studio/Gradle and Xcode/xcodebuild, respectively.
- With EAS: after getting set up with EAS, installing EAS CLI, and configuring eas.json, run "eas build". There is also a "--local" flag that runs the compilation steps locally and uses your signing credentials managed by EAS.

Many developers use a mix. For instance, they'll build locally when working on a feature for a fast feedback loop. And they'll use EAS to build their release candidates and PR previews to share with their team.
