So, I teach an intro to IT class and honestly, I like the fact that I can simply state the truth with no blowback:

Linux is the dominant operating system in tech, moreso when you include a fuzzy, but reasonable, definition -- I like to say "Linux-ish."

Kids, literally everything you encounter that isn't Windows is "Linux-ish."

Apple has found ways to make their flavor of "Linux-ish" more exclusive and that has drawbacks. In fact, each company naturally tries to figure out how they can best make money for themselves and you can judge them how you want -- but the core of this is this thing called "free and open source software," where basically everyone agrees to (or it just makes more sense to) use this stuff that's shared and out there.

You can use this as your desktop too, if you like. Here's how.
It already happened, nicely packaged inside of a VM, running on top of Hyper-V and Virtualization framework.

They all have different connotations by convention, as does all vocabulary.

"Shit" is a swear word; the other two aren't. That's all there is to it, it's convention. The same as "red" means red and doesn't mean blue.

But all three would be inappropriate as economics terminology. Using a smelly bodily function as an economics metaphor is simply gratuitous and unprofessional.
"All your downloads will be blocked until you verify your identity using Google account.". But on a serious note, popup covering top part of the page does not make one productive.
This makes no sense.

For one, you don't know what you regret until it happens. Regret is unavoidable, unlike the author's assertion that it is a choice.

Two, we grow as we make mistakes (or successes). Avoiding a human emotion is just a bizarre take.

May as well have a tech blogger say "don't feel bad, feeling bad makes you feel bad". Not very useful, even less insightful, and frankly just bad advice.
That looks really bad.

Even the old Intal Spininhalers look easier and they made a nice whizzing sound as the impeller span, but they had to be cleaned regularly as the powder stuck to the moving parts.

The other think I note was the nasal inhalers worked well up to the mid 1990s then became painful. If you have a sore nose duue to hay fever the last thing you want to do in inhale water up your nose. The old inhalers I now guesses used CFCs and were nice to use. The suggestion by my grandmother for hayfever was to inhale salted water up the nose, I only tried that once - it hurt.

I'm not sure if this applies in BA, but in other countries, there are expat focused FB groups where people offer local currency conversion services. This often includes crypto. I would start there and find someone reputable in those communities. After that, retail street level gold dealers typically do it too, or know where to go.
IMO the strongest parts of Shape Up are a little bit differnt:

- Going back to Upfront Design / Upfront Thinking, aka Mini-Waterfall

- Giving back autonomy to developers, instead of micromanging / ticket shredding

- Fixed Time - Variable Scope

- Ditching high fidelity designs, embedding designers who can code HTML/CSS into the build teams.

---

The problem with Shape Up 1.0 is it's a limited scope - it mostly applies to the Delivery track of small Product-led companies.

It doesn't cover reactive work like bug fixing, and the initial stages of the project (like for example in an early-stage startup).

The author is woprking on Shape Up 2.0, but it's still a moving target and not publicly available, beside some recorded talks / interviews.

For a full SDLC it will need to be combined with several other product frameworks, SDLCs, and task management methods/techniques.

I working on combining Shape Up with other relevant methodologies.
It was originally discovered in 1999 but was shelved for over a decade due to insufficient funding. As I understand it, they only received funding in 2018 and became more confident in their discovery after that.

Here is some (speculative?) backstory: https://twitter.com/8teAPi/status/1684385895565365248

It is a tragic shame in hindsight, but no doubt there are many earth-shattering discoveries lying within reach, if only we knew where to look.
They say you don’t really understand something until you can teach it. I wonder to what extent “can I teach this to the general public, and do they care?” is an indicator of both understanding new results and also whether or not they really matter.

Of course, we’re often working on a tool to help make tools for other scientists, so that sort of thing is hard to explain to the general public, but ultimately it should terminate in some results that actually have obvious value to society in general.
The .EML file opens in the Outlook email viewer, presumably? A PDF would open in either the native PDF viewer, or some sort of Outlook PDF previewer - but either way, would be more obviously third-party content than an email in the email client.

> I don’t believe I ever told you how to feel about your UX with these

You kind of did, by bringing up the idea of dark patterns and dead clicks you were absolutely critiquing the UI.

> If we’re not calling them apps

You're being quite obtuse about this. The author clearly felt Libby was only consumable as an installed app on a mobile device. You argue "Where did they say one has to install the app?" while completely ignoring the "Disgruntled, I downloaded Libby" and all the other times where they expressed Overdrive is a website while Libby is an app. Like, sure, one could call both "apps", but one big point the author was making was that Libby was something they had to install, as in, a mobile app delivered through an app store with potentially more permissions than just a web page on their browser or not consumable on their desktop/laptop/other device.

I don't get how you're continuing to argue like the author didn't think they needed to install the app, when they literally wrote "Disgruntled, I downloaded Libby..." Can you really not acknowledge the author was confused and didn't know Libby was available as a website? You honestly can't see that in their writing?

Has a list of banned books and some of the reasons.

Elsewhere, although I couldn't find the article they categorized the different reasons, and scenarios such as "explicit graphic examples of oral sex" were not a thing. In that categorization there were some banned for sexual content, but it was a tiny tiny fraction, like a fraction of a percent.

That sort of idea is commonly used as justification in the larger wedge of "protecting the children". But if you look at what is actually banned and the reasons (or even if the banned book has been read by the people banning at all), it's pretty clear that's not actually what this is about.
If we're talking about some hypothetical woman with 23 partners, what is the issue with objectifying her a bit? She's obviously objectifying the men. Sees someone who looks nice, sleep with them, move on.

If neither side is in it for the long term relationship then they are in it for the hot body. That isn't being a "shitty human", it is just being realistic about the sort of relationship they are in.

This is a good point and I think the answer is that solutions for in-place charging will need to be regulated or subsidized into existence in step with the shifting market share of electric cars.

The typical range of a fully charged electric car these days is sufficient to get out of the way of almost any predictable natural disaster. So the trick is just keeping them all fully charged at home. Any homeowner can in theory have a charger off their home power grid, but for folks in apartments and condos there will need to be a lot more than just a few chargers in the corner of the garage. There may even need to be street-side solutions. But it’s all doable and the engineering is straightforward.

People allow gas cars to sit with nearly empty tanks because it is so fast (and expensive) to fill them up. Electric cars are slow and cheap to “fill up” so the mindset and culture about it will change over time.
Only now? Considering how Apple has neglected gaming, and especially considering that most Mac games on Steam are 32-bit, which no macOS version released within the past 4 years can even run?

And 42% of that is Steam Deck...

It's a little bit disappointing, to be honest.

This guy expects the automated scanner to render the filename graphically, OCR it, then use the backwards result to guess the file type?

Because first of all, "foo.eml" and "[RLO]bar.eml" are both EML files to any programmatic scanner, and second they look at the content of the file to figure out what it is, not the extension.
It at least conveys that there's an active process going on, which implies that somebody is INTENTIONALLY turning something into shit. That's important. It's true that it doesn't do a good job of conveying the exact process it means.

In all honesty I was a bit lonely in my 20s. I had very bad anxiety through college and didn't forge as many strong friendships in college as might be normal. Maybe it was a touch of desperation but I just went to NYC bars and shows and talked to people.

Funding Opportunities for Your Open Source Project
This reference guide includes 24 real examples to help you get the community to fund your open-source project.
For modern capitalism: capitalism as it has manifested, particularly recently, or probably more accurately _redefined_, has been the result of two driving factors: imperfect information (sometimes intentionally, sometimes due to complexity) and regulatory influences. Companies are able to put the screws to their customers because their customers do not know or fully understand the true costs of that gmail account or Prime membership. Even if the result is a monopoly (as defined by today's parlance) there's nothing stopping a competitor from coming in and offering a superior product. The only time this is problem is when the company can use regulations as barriers to entry. However this is often often mislabeled as market capture.

Market capture cannot exist without regulatory capture in free markets.

Then there's the inertia, which can be fully expected, and the company's disincentive to make breaking it easy. (GDPR has taken measures to address this but nothing similar exists in the US nation-wide but that's for data only.) The cost to move must be sufficiently low in order to break that inertia. In nature you'll see Pareto distributions all around, so it's almost as if this phenomenon is to be expected. But that doesn't mean it cannot be done.

On a long enough timeline every product dies, and their lifespans are getting shorter and shorter.
I suspect it is imminent (5-10 years) that we will start manually spraying the atmosphere with some sort of reflective aerosol.

My personal experience and research coincides with the graph presented in the article.
Where I'm at, sea temps have risen greatly and this also has a weird side-effect: elevated humidity, through evaporation. Currently we have humidity levels similar to Bangkok, in a place which was otherwise a place with low to medium humidity place. I hope this will swing back to normal soon.
Something did happen about 100 years ago. The rise of eugenics. Society (especially the progressive part of it) collectively decided that there was this large fraction of the population we definitely didn't want having a family.

Sure, if they paired up and just fornicated, that might be ok. Certainly if it helps keep them tame.

But once involuntary sterilization wasn't an option any longer, another mechanism had to be developed.

This is a theory, but test it against reality. If you could (without judgement) sort people into "the eugenicists" and the "people who eugenicists didn't want procreating"... which of those groups has the higher fertility rates? The ruling class, the billionaires and millionaires, and so forth, don't they tend to have a few kids and that their kids have prospects of having kids of their own? Meanwhile, those clinging onto the very lowest level of the middle class, or below it but wanting to be there... those are the ones who have no children. Those are the ones who are told that adoption is important to lower their carbon footprint, and that it's in every way a perfect substitution for biological children. Supposing they can ever afford the $100,000 price tag to buy a child.

It’s worth noting that Steam gaming on M1+ chips is nearly impossible. My library of hundreds of games yielded only a dozen titles that were playable, compared with about 20% of my library that runs on my Intel Mac. Publishers simply couldn’t care less about supporting Apple Silicon outside of a handful of mostly casual indie games. For as wonderful as Steam gaming on Linux has become, the Mac side has seemed to regress in equal measure.
I recently visited Harz and subsequently Saxon Switzerland (which is in Germany and Czechia, not Switzerland) and both had issues with these beetles. I was just a tourist, so I'd love to hear a local chime in for any corrections.

I was initially shocked that a country could log their own national parks, but eventually came to understand the situation. They log to avoid the beetles spreading, but also because the trees the beetles have infested become risks of starting fires. A fire had occurred on the Czech side of Saxon not too long before I visited.

Harz looks specifically bad until you get near the summit (Brocken) because they've explicitly decided to naturally re-forest the park. This reforestation policy isn't new though; it's been applied since miners over-extracted the mountain and destroyed much of the park around the dig-sites, the park brought in new species, and then ultimately decided those new species weren't going to restore their old habitat.
Deaccession is controversial and often legally gray due to stipulations by donors that work is never to be sold.

I love Unicode quirks that OSes and big software developers miss, it's so fun to send links with cyrillic 'а' instead of latin 'a', sometimes https:// links are protected from this, but mailto: aren't (so if the mail client doesn't report the wierd character, you can make someone send an email to the wrong hostname), and the RLO chars are so fun, name a file ann<RLO>fdp.exe, and it shows under most software as annexe.pdf, but gets executed as an exe in Windows.

Also watch what happens in GNOME desktop environement and its file explorer, like right click on it and view properties, the RLO switch extends to the whole sentence that the filename is written in, it's hilarious.

It's supposed to print "<filename> Properties", but instead the window title is "<beginning of filename>seitreporP <end of filename>".
What’s the track record of open prediction markets (no barrier to join) vs super predictor markets (have some requirements - be it credentials, proven expertise, or track records)?

Survivor bias is real. Kind of like some people can have unlimited access to gaming as a teenager and are fine, while others disappear from society for decades. Those that ‘survive’ have no qualms with gaming.
You are right, they won't. Those who worked on themselves, instead of blaming others, will.
> There is also no data to back up the opposite assertion.

Which is why I made no assertion with a percentage.

> but I do believe it is still the majority

What makes you believe that? Thousands of data points? Hundreds? Tens? The handful of people around you? Certainly not statistics.
Sure, you could think of a row as "tuple of values returned from all columns at the same index". But why it was that important to measure and use and present for primarily columnar store? What's the point to measure and count row access? Isn't existing row DBs working for such case?
Conventional conductors have resistance, so when you run electrical current through them they heat up; this is why laptops and desktops have fans to cool the chips, why phones get hot and so on. Superconductors transmit energy without resistance, so the heating problem goes away and the energy costs of running the device go way, way down. Basically you can pump more through smaller wires without worrying about them melting. This means that just about any electronic/electrical device could be run more cheaply, safely, and at a smaller scale.

Advanced tech like MRI machines, maglev trains, and quantum computers all use superconductivity now, but are enormously bulky and expensive because they require extreme cooling using liquid helium (which is in short supply). Room temperature super conductors can dispense with all that, so instead of a quantum computer being the size and power draw of a refrigerator (because it is in fact mostly refrigerator) it could go in your wristwatch.

Superconductors also expel magnetic fields, which in practical terms means they repel magnets. And they only repel, without being attracted to magnets at all, like iron or the poles of other magnets. So you can use them for levitation. And because superconductors have zero resistance, if you put energy into a superconducting coil it stays there forever, just circling round and round the coil.

This LK-99 material people are talking about is an alloy of lead and copper, and it's not that difficult or expensive to make. The raw materials are fairly cheap, and the production involves heating it to hundreds of degrees centigrade for 24-48 hours, which is very easy to do in a lab and probably easy to do at industrial scale. Scientists don't understand the material very well yet, but if these discoveries are validated (as appears to be happening right now), then refining the manufacturing process is going to happen quite quickly because the payoffs and economic demand will be enormous.

People are comparing this to the invention of the transistor; I think a better comparison is the electrical lightbulb. It's going to change things massively, because any country will be able to manufacture this. You could manufacture this stuff at home, the equipment you need fits on a desk and costs only a few thousand $.
No. There is absolutely no evidence that switching economic systems will magically solve global warming. Out of all economic systems capable of industrialization, capitalist mix economies are the only ones that expressed any interest in caring about the environment at all. Communist China was willing to destroy forests to make charcoal to make little bits of low-quality steel and decimate its bird population because they were eating a little bit of grain. The Soviet Union nearly drained the entire Aral Sea to grow cotton. The fact that Communism didn't pollute more was only because they were very bad at industrializing.

And before you motte and bailey your way into saying you're not promoting communism, any proposed economic system is going to have the same problem. Even if you distribute Jeff Bezos wealth in a way that he has to give up his megayacht, then you're going to give 10,000 people a means to buy F-150 Raptors.
What's the next tier then? OverDrive premium for libraries? Getting people to buy books on OverDrive rather than lending them? Why would they go with them rather than audible?
There have been some people saying that LK-99 might only be superconducting in one dimension. Does anyone know how that (or even just 2-D/planar superconductivity) would effect the levitation of samples? For the 1-D case, maybe there would be issues in creating loops in the bulk material for persistent currents to flow in? It might be hard to make a Josephson junction unless you knew the orientation of the superconductivity direction? Has anybody studied this before? My intuition breaks down here.
They also took years to add a shopping cart.
After hiking & backpacking around a decent bit with a good few styles of shoes, I have found my answer : The Salomon X series [1]

The SalomanX are the lightest hiking shoes I've tried, while simultaneously feeling rugged. They easily have the grippiest sole of any shoe I have tried. There is no shoe I'd trust more on wet rock. The lacing system is chef's kiss. I would wear them in the city if they looked fashionable. I've never had blisters with them, and option for a wide-configuration is perfect for my feet.

I am a low-top dude. I find that ankle freedom allows me to place my foot in a manner that doesn't cause sprains rather than the restrictive nature of faux-ankle support mid-tops. I'd go for their hi-top versions if I was hiking in powder, but that's about it. No amount of ankle-support is going to keep your shoes dry if you step in stream or an unknown puddle. Lastly, any situation that needs deep grooves probably needs crampons/micro-spikes anyways, so having them built into the shoe is kind of redundant.

To the article's credit, the Saloman's do feel more like a beefed-up sneaker than a toned-down hiking shoe.
