What’s your colour analogy for my example of Pashtuns on one side of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border being (according to the US government) a different “race” from those on the other, despite being physically indistinguishable? I think that’s a good example of where your analogy fails
I noticed that you're not engaging with the content of your daydreams. You're basically treating them as a medical problem. The more you ignore your unconscious, the more noise it makes, to try and get your attention. You need to start a dialogue.

I know your post is in jest, but I think you might not be aware of how suspicious right wing populists (especially bible reading right wing populists) are of Fed + Big Tech alliance. It will not take much to rally this group against these types of initiatives.

I think a political strategy of getting rural school districts + 20 State governments to go on record saying they will not purchase or use computers that have Google WEI could be very effective.

Sounds incredibly hard.

What are you doing repetitively? Maybe you can leverage that for a job.

Look for medical charity clinics in your area and don't assume you have the right diagnosis.

Upwork and Fiverr can be abusive but they are practically a monopoly. Sign up and try to find an easy sounding task that you can complete in a few days. Then do it and give the task description and your code to GPT-4.

Work your way up more involved tasks and don't apply to any jobs that you aren't sure you can do. You can even try to code the hard part before you apply.

You don't have to do complex software engineering to start. Just try to find easy things to play around with so you can stay motivated while learning hands on.

Also there are lots of jobs where some understanding of IT or core IT skills can help but aren't necessarily really technically challenging. It's okay to do those.

I think that if you really can't pay then you should try to find some charitable medical organization. Also you may be able to find some type of pain killer without having a cure. First step is finding out for sure what causes the pain in your arms.

Also look into coding via voice. Or giving instructions to GPT-4 via voice..using Whisper or the web speech inout related API.
I think I stumbled on togithub.com, which simply does a 302 redirect to github.com, which keeps the url understandable and doesn't create the backlink. But I have no idea who actually runs the servers, so I instead went back to a text file.

Those needs will change. Requirements will come that are easy to implement efficiently in terms of SQL queries, but impossible through the abstraction. You may then be able to come up with a new interface, which requires you to change your existing code.

Just like ORMs, such interfaces can be useful, but have the cost of limiting your options.

It's not the sender, but the receiver. CNPJ's ("SSNs" for Juridic/Business entities) pay a % of the received money.

Many banks, specially the neobanks/fintechs are making it free for small business tho.

I have a business to sign contracts for soft dev and I was charged once for a pix transaction between another business account on a different bank.

That bank is not my primary anymore, I started transferring using the old system (TED) to avoid it. TED takes ~15 minutes (from 0800 to 1700) instead of <1 sec (24h/7d), so not a big loss for internal transfers.

Still using the dumb bank because of other reasons, but not primary.

So competition working as intended in this case.

Why do you think that actions of these huge institutions are not impactful to the life quality of the Americans?

Also, why do you think that the European live longer thanks to the medicine developed in the USA? Maybe the USA develops medicine thanks to the free and equal opportunity education culture in the Europe? If you look closely to the researchers, you will see that lot's of the people who develop these things have European roots and by roots I don't mean their grandpa was Irish, I mean they were educated in Europe and it just happens that the organisation that develops these drugs is incorporated in the USA.

The tech revolution that changed the world was also developed in Europe, the web was developed by the British in EU institution, Linux was made by a Finnish guy called Linus, Nginx is Russian-made.

Also, we are at a verge of AI revolution and some of the leading researchers are Europe educated people. Just check the bio of the top researchers who were instrumental at Tesla or OpenAI.

Maybe the USA is just the industrial zone of Europe? Maybe the US appears rich and acts poor simply because because the richness comes from the accounting choices? Just kidding of course, the USA is a superpower and is actually rich thanks to many things like its abundant resources and brilliant people but the notion that the Europe is doing better because they just drink smoothies and meditate all day on the American resources and innovation is ridiculous.

I've a client I do some work on for BigCommerce. He already had a bunch of javascript on the checkout page to add warnings and notes and stuff rather than try and have a fully customized dashboard. I've added a couple more.

Most of them broke a couple of months ago after BC made some changes to the checkout. Cue me having to do some emergency fix work.

And that is why it's often better to pay for a monthly app, it's not just the functionality, it's the keeping it up-to-date.
I read somewhere once that deliberately poor quality graphs are sometimes used so that readers cannot extract the precise values from them. This could be to obscure fake or real data.
I’m using 4-5 year old Pixelbooks. I think they’re discontinued now probably because the high price point ($999).

But they last an extremely long time, durable, fast, simple.

I don’t use it for development, more so for day to day web browsing and when traveling since it’s smaller and thinner than average laptop.

I really don’t know what chromeOS hardware I would go with once the pixelbook dies.

Edit: anyone try the Pixelbook Go? Same price point as the original pixelbook and upgradable to 16gb ram.
An Investor's Introduction to Urbit – Part 1
"...I find myself consistently reaching for the blog post that clearly articulates what Urbit is and why it is important, only to continuously be frustrated by the realization that this blog post doesn’t exist.

This series aims to change that."
I never get tired of reading the amazing achievements from Xerox PARC, even if it's something I already know. The book mentioned in the post is super-interesting and goes in lots of details and the dynamics between the different teams and people behind the legendary research division, but as Alan Kay (if I'm correct) itself mentioned is quite disorganized in regards to the sequence of events. Nevertheless you don't get bored a single bit. Highly recommended.
For me at least, the reason not to care is the timeline.

In that case, ads, being psychological manipulation to get users to do things they would not otherwise do, are already highly unethical. The ethical think to do is to discourage their use, which includes blocking them for yourself thus making them less profitable overall.
>Cost

It's a bad trade. Thousands of hours of a high human capital computer scientist vs. a few tens of dollars a month for RDS.

>Reliability

Empirically false: none of this would have happened if Tarsnap used Postgres instead of a home-spun database.
"https://github.com./a/b" or "https://www.github.com/a/b" also work as "workarounds". But it is incredibly stupid & annoying that it doesn't even go away after editing it out or even deleting the comment that contained the link.
As the adage goes - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - and we still haven't seen any.

Until there is some actual data to back any of this up, there's not really anything to talk about.
When something like this happens in the news, why would I automatically assume it's a misdirection with no evidence? How is that any better than believing the 'official collectively-derived narrative'?
One of the "issues" the this is suppose to address is that advertisers "need" to know that humans are viewing their ads and not some robot.

That seems really one sided. To me that indicates that I as a user have a right to know that a human and not a robot is responsible for me seeing this ad. That's not the case of course. What this would do is kneecap the enemy/users and let the advertisers be the only ones with access to automation and integrity validation.

I doubt that many objects to see ads for powertools on a DYI forum or developer tools on Stackoverflow, seems reasonable. The objection is to being bombarded by obvious scams, micro transaction laden mobile games, online casinos and anything that in no way benefits me as a consumer. Google should perhaps focus a bit more on validating the integrity of their consumers i.e. the advertisers.

eSIMs can also make it easier to switch phones. Want to try a different OS? Going hiking and don't want to risk your nice phone? Traveling?

A great thing about this is you can have multiple phones preconfigured for specific purposes and just move the line to the phone when needed. On one carrier, moving between phones takes a minute or two.

I eventually switched to Android from iOS after setting up one of each and switching between them.
> Yes, I understood that. However this is new information for me. Where did you get that?

There's not a lot of evidence that links sugar intake to cancer risk directly, when controlling for weight. Sugars aren't in the IARC list either. And the link between high sugar intake and obesity is clear too.

Obesity, though, is a well known cancer risk, and for quite a lot of cancers there's causal mechanisms proposed.

> Where are those studies? In vivo? In humans?

The IARC monograph has the details of the evidence collected to declare processed red meat as carcinogenic and unprocessed red meat as probable carcinogenic, and of course it includes studies in humans and studies that separated processed/unprocessed https://monographs.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/m...

> You mean greater longevity, better mental health (less depression, less anxiety, …), better cognitive function?

I find it funny that you're asking repeatedly for sources for things that are repeated by every health agency in the world, and then just drop these claims with nothing to back them up.

> Let's say processed sugar.

But no one was saying "processed sugar". The diet I started criticizing was an all-meat diet, with the comment even criticizing fruit.

> If you stop eating something and in consequence suffer from malnutrition then that won't be "easy" to keep up in the long term.

You won't suffer from malnutrition by not eating red meat. In fact, most scientific diet recommendations include the limitation of red meats. You will, however, suffer from malnutrition if you withdraw from all foods that contain natural sugars, because that includes almost all fruits and vegetables.

If we talk about added sugar, diet recommendations usually include limiting its intake too. However, the point I was making in my original comment is that there's far more evidence linking red meat consumption to cancer risk than for sugar, and therefore I can't really trust the advice of someone who claims that an all-carnivore diet is better "because it has no sugar".
It was anonymised by an external company before it reached Google. I know one of the people who did it, if he was getting kickbacks he'd have a nicer car.
I like to imagine it's like a very advanced REPL that's somewhat reproducible (if you run everything from the beginning). If you don't find the appeal of being able to mutate state live for experimentation then it isn't for you.
I tried that (e.g. having one workspace for my fullscren IDE, then to the "right" of that a workspace with a fullscreen terminal), but I found macOS rearranged my workspaces, so about 10% of the time when I went to the app by Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right I'd end up looking at a different app. So annoying!

I found there was an "Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use" which I could switch off, which helped, but it still did it sometimes (I can't remember why now).

So now I just don't use that feature at all, which is a shame. It was just too jarring to be looking at the wrong thing 10% of the time, really broke the flow.

Plus when you use Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right you have to wait for the animation to end before typing, otherwise your key presses are lost, which isn't great when you want to Ctrl-Right twice to get to the terminal and then type a command. Have to always remember to wait 0.5 seconds or so before typing otherwise you've typed "s -l" rather than "ls -l" etc.

Do you have the same problems, and if so how did you solve them? I'd love to be able to use this feature but for me it was just too annoying.
Yeah, but the value they provide IMO (or promise to, it’s only promised in the readme, not shown) is the observability.

Creating one of these event driven systems is somewhat trivial. Node has event emitter built in for example.

Being able to monitor, debug, scale it and ensure it’s robust to failure is much harder.

In that respect it sounds kinda like tray.io. [1]

Hong Kong has one of the highest life expectancy of the world and a major contributing factor is high population density.

This is terrible. Instinct cannot be trusted. Write it down.
A very surface change (almost syntactic sugar) that would be neat for me is some form of generics. Specifically, to allow me to implement an algorithm once for different data types. Right now I do it with preprocessor macros and includes; it works but feels wrong.

Going deeper, but not as far as changing the language (not hoping for memory safety here), I would like better research and documentation for undefined behavior (UB).

I'm not completely opposed to UB. I understand it is an unfortunate performance/safety trade-off that's not fully avoidable in a historical language like C. However, there are many types of UB, and for a few of them, the performance benefits feel theoretical (not supported by empirical evidence). I would love some before/after benchmarks with the types of UB that can be disabled in the compiler, and some open-minded discussion afterwards.
Families, and reducing friction on gaming purchases. The sooner you can download a game (especially with new business models like game pass), the sooner you know whether you like it and the sooner you get positive feedback from your purchase decision. The faster that loop is the more people will impulse buy, and the faster consumers can get the games they want to play.

Cool proverb, I was not aware of it.

Having said that, I disagree with the conclusion. There are few areas where one can confidently dismiss something as absurd (perpetual motion comes to mind). Perhaps an enemy of the King has indeed released a tiger in the market, and then what? How many reports are needed before the King actually looks into the matter?

I agree with the deeper explanation that a person as powerful as Pang Cong would easily have three enemies willing to discredit him in front of the King, but I feel that dismissing something as "that cannot happen" is how (say) my local bureaucracy gets angry at me for registering late because my explanation (that the system is overloaded) is absurd and therefore a lie.
Yeah... Mocking is like wanting to be a lion tamer but training with a cat.
