The advantage of going to conferences, taking in-person courses, etc. (in addition to the hallway track) isn't so much that they're efficient--they're not really--or that they're something of a (relatively) cheap perk that a lot of employees appreciate, but that they really do immerse you in something that you might otherwise do glancingly "when you get around to it."
My grandad lost his vision suddenly, and was a big reader. I live in the UK, so YMMV but there are some brilliant charities and national schemes providing access to audio books for registered blind people. I'd recommend those hugely as they where brilliant!

Also, there are a fair few "gadgets" around every day tasks that become tricky or dangerous when your vision is impaired (such as pouring a cup of tea from the kettle). If your mother knows she's losing her sight, she has a good opportunity to learn to use those in a risk free environment and be confident when she needs to use them. It sounds like you're already pretty organised, which is great! Its definitely worth thinking about the everyday tasks that give your mother independence, and thinking about his to perform them without sight.
I wonder how reducing factions to a single axis impacts notes on tweets about matters that the two "teams" haven't really picked their sides on yet. During the first weeks of covid, it seemed like "this is a nothingburger" and "this is a huge deal" weren't statements that had a left/right connotation yet, but were statements that people passionately disagreed about. How does the algorithm behave when a note is highly controversial, but that controversy doesn't seem to be correlated with users' single-axis leanings?

Anarcho-capitalists and radical leftists strongly disagree on the vast majority of things, but both groups passionately support defunding the police (for very different reasons). Would the algorithm unfairly see a false note as having "bipartisan support" when these two opposite-radical groups manage to have their biases line up?
Given that screening is arguably benign for most people, you could argue that we continue screening while we gather more information. But you do whatever you want to do. I'm just pointing out that it's really premature to cancel all of your screenings based on the idea that it doesn't add any years to your life. That may be true, but there's more to a life than how long you live.
At least in the old west you could fight for yourself, with restrictions to firearms the fight becomes one sided.

Remember the Fed has stated they have no responsibility to protect you.

Inb4 yeah both sides of the political parties are to blame for restrictions.

>Hint: "I'm sure your language is fine" in no way implies that dang said "the language is fine".

This made me realise how trying to sound polite may completely obfuscate what you want to say.
This has been my experience as well, and I think the reason for it is what you state.

But I'll break it down even more: what makes someone highly skilled in an an area is a combination of learning everything they can about the field, and spending countless thousands of hours practicing.

If you're doing a thing because you love it, you'll naturally do both without even realizing that's what you're doing -- because to you, what you're doing is play. You're having fun.

If you're learning a thing because you want to earn a living doing it, but have no special love for it, you're less likely to spend nearly as much time learning about it expansively or actually practicing, because what you're doing isn't play, it's work.
Think of what you're saying. If it was so bimodal that the screened people "gained years" while the ones who didn't "gained 0", then how could the average possibly be 4 months?

If we take your theory at face value, on average the screened people would have an 8 month increase.
Thanks! I was only aware of a Zones proposal which was withdrawn I think.
The question you should be asking is if this is actually a shoplifting problem vs. a massive decline in SF’s willingness to shop in person.

I sure don’t know anyone who talked about going to the downtown Nordstrom to buy anything. And I don’t think the root cause was shoplifting fears.

This is an important question because while a scapegoat feels nice (they always do - look at the glee people are inserting into their comments here), if this is a preview of what all urban centers look like in 25 years, we better start thinking up answers now rather than later.
would of been nice if they just added an alert in the beginning the thing is empty, quite boring useless watch now.

What are you talking about?

This actually is a technical discussion.

You’re asserting things about the formation of cities that aren’t just unknown or mysterious, you’re asserting things that are patently untrue, then upset when someone calls you out for it lol. How Reddit is that?

You’re saying, “cities require strong leadership, planning, cost, and sustaining people’s attention, and work.” (To roughly paraphrase). I’m saying, “that’s not necessarily true, we don’t know enough about this to assert this. You should read some more about it or take an anthropology class.”

This is a highly technical subject, it’s just not one about computers or math or physics. Like, for some early cities we are unsure if they were even inhabited year round, for some cities it appears that there was absolutely no leadership. Maybe megalopolises requires strong central authority but I’m not so sure.

Even if you spend $8b and start your own version of Fordlandia you still may not succeed at building utopia because how do you maintain things how “you want them” when people like me exist who will try to flaunt your rules? Violence?
> My recommendation is if you feel like you want piece of mind, to talk to your doctor about it. If your doctor recommends a treatment, follow it.

I don't know anything about worms, but I'm very certain that I could choose a doctor that would recommend treatment or one that would not, depending on what I've already decided I want.
Please don’t start political flame wars on here for no reason.

Your point is not amplified by doing that.
So you’re a self-aware villain. That’s pretty neat.
Fully agree, which makes it feel weird to re-read my own comment and for it to sound so off-tone.

If I were to re-write the comment I'd say something along the lines of, "In time, there may be new opportunities worth exploring."

What's on my mind is that while by no means one ought to give up on the things in their life that may provide a sense of identity, those don't have to be your only possible source of identity going forward. Even that requires the most careful and gentle of touches. Identity is so important and not something you can just change so suddenly.
> Almost everything I've seen is in Cmake, or can be easily interacted with it.
But in general, just pick something you like and stick with it. Sure, they're not perfect, but this list is actually a point I was making - you have a huge array of mature solutions out there already.

Installing library is

cargo add X
npm install X
implementation(“X”)

Show me how to import library in CMake. And then also show me how to import library that doesn’t have CMakeLists.txt file.

> C++ is a simple language with complex things you can choose to use. If you understand the basic principles of loops, variables, functions, arrays, etc, you can write in C++ right away. You can layer on greater complexity with libraries and the STL, better patterns etc as you go, but you can start simple. That's a great benefit to someone learning, IMO.
C++ is as complex as you make it. I prefer to write fairly simple C++ personally and only break out the harder parts when absolutely needed. For example, I really don't like lambdas, so I just don't use them. And I can still solve anything I need to without them.

Good luck explaining to team that they can only use subset of C++. Also good luck when advanced C++ dev advocates for feature X and now whole org has to learn about X and its drawbacks. Or when the dev leaves and rest of team doesn’t know how the hell it works.

Sounds to me like you’re writing all of this from hobby or hobby OSS project perspective. Which is completely fine, but doesn’t apply to orgs.
To that I say the burden of proof is on them to prove significant danger to the public.

Automobiles are probably the most dangerous product ever produced by mankind. We have a whole century behind us during which people were allowed to repair their automobiles. Independent mechanics are still commonplace today and many non-professionals still choose to repair their own vehicles.

That sets a precident. Manufacturers should at least have to prove that indpendent repairs of their product represent a more significant threat than independent automobile repair. Otherwise, their arguments about safety should be dismissed.
I'm still on the platform side, out of K8s and the like - but this is so painfully true.

They try to tailor a lot of these things to the OS/distribution, but fail in the most wonderful ways.

A recent example: they're aware of RHEL. They're also aware of 'firewalld'.

However, they have not managed to realize that this is simply a management interface to other firewalls -- imposing standards on a long-deprecated backend; iptables

Meanwhile, using incredibly inefficient and 'portable' command lines. ie: using find in such a way that an LDAP query happens for every file

Refusing to use the arguments available to the operating system they 'tailor' for. Ultimately timing out once you hold a certain number of files.
Where was this? This sounds like classic US healthcare, although I suppose this happens everywhere. I have come to greatly distrust doctors these days because of exactly this scenario.
My mom is mostly blind. If your mom is in the US, The American Council for the Blind is a really great organization. You can give them a call and they'll set you up with someone to get your mom evaluated for her needs. They can put you in touch with professionals to get her assistive devices that are often available at little to no cost, connect her with resources, and more. I'd definitely recommend going that route, because they have the process pretty well streamlined and have a ton of experience working with folks with very different needs.

I'll also note that there are a bunch of great podcasts from blind folks that have tutorials and other information. There is a huge and vibrant community of blind podcasters; if she's into that, I'd definitely point her their way.

This is one of the best things I think I've seen on here.

Out of curiosity what kind of altitude would an actively inspecting drone be at? And what kind of support vehicles do you need? Like would it be possible for one team to co-ordinate the deployment of multiple drones from a single vehicle or they just don't fit?
You don’t have to eat what you don’t like. However, you could (un-)train yourself to like what you didn’t like before.

Over the lifetime our cognition, through conditioning, accumulates or eliminated emotional associations with things. E.g. the common person from our culture that didn’t know they were eating a dog would have a visceral physiological response to the associated disgust their brain launches once they were told that in fact they ate the dog.

And it’s okay, these associations exist and people have initially little control over them.

But people in cultures other than ours don’t have this association conditioned, and for them it’s perfectly fine to eat dog.

This shows that this is just a thing in the head, not physiological. I used to be together with a farmer girl and she saw and raised a cow with her father from it’s beginning until it’s meat ended in her stomach as chewed through juicy steak.

Who’s “right” here? Nobody, it is what it is. Everything is possible.
Yeah, because measuring the mean equatorial and longitudinal circumference of the Earth on a line passing through Paris is a pain in the ass.

The meter was also standardized at a weird golden period for units -- we had global trade and travel (and so it was getting inconvenient to have different standard unit length sticks in different countries, let alone cities), we had enough science to have the notion of basing it on physical constants instead of random sticks, but we also weren't yet in a world where precision mattered all that much. You could change the length of your units by 3% and it wouldn't really matter as much it would today, where every bolt and manufactured part would instantly become a nightmare.

It's kind of a shame, because now we could pick so much cooler definitions for our units, because our science is so much better. Take restandardizing the foot as 1 ns * c -- so much more elegant than the mean circumference of the Earth, or an ugly number of wavelengths of a caesium atom. But changing the foot by 1.5% -- half as much as the difference between the meter and 3 Paris feet -- would be devastating today in a way that it wasn't in 1800. Hell, it'd probably be easier to change the definition of a second than the definition of a foot.
I assume your car is newer. I have a 2018 3 and a 2023 X, and the X will nag me almost instantly if it thinks I'm looking at my phone. The 3 however happily chugs along.
Indeed!! - I was speaking only in the US context and I am not a lawyer; not legal advice).

Same sort of applies here but usually only if you are a union employee, but then you have your union management who can resolve such issues.
Less technical companies throw money at problems to solve them. Like mine, sadly... Even if it takes a small amount of effort, companies will throw money for zero effort.

So obviously you’re right, but semesters are based on the seasons, and many people are used to using semesters as goal timelines already.

If the people working at a store can’t afford any apartment within a forty minute commute the store will fail.
My understanding, which could be wrong, is that in a lot of cases severance is offered on condition you won't fight the termination or take legal action.

So it is in part a CYA from the companies side.
I'm self-taught, and I absolutely did learn proper software engineering. And relearned it a few times as what was considered "proper software engineering" has changed (and continues to change) over time.
I thought the problem with that argument was one part promissory estoppel and one part non-monetary consideration. EG you realized something under the GPL with expectation that said work would serve to for instance help you get a job later by demonstrating your work and users by submitting bug reports, code, endorsements helped you achieve the expected goals by making your work more visible and credible.

I'm not aware of any case in which for instance someone has successfully defended their right to rescind a license to the GPL license code they granted in history. A pragmatic court given 2 plausible interpretations with some merit isn't obligated to endorse an interpretation with an obviously negative effect they're people not CPUs interpreting code.

A timeline where we need a GPLv4 to cover the case of assholes taking back their shit contrary to decades of expectations and leaving mission critical v2 projects like Linux constantly at risk of a 10,000 time bombs from heirs taking back daddy's code is clearly the dumbest of all possible worlds and we are under no obligation to live there if their is a reasonable out.

My money is on this theory remaining a fairy tale until someone actually spends enough money to test it and its dissolved forever by actual case law.

Artifex Software, Inc. v. Hancom, Inc. which was ultimately settled out of court seems to have found the exact opposite of what you said if I read this correctly.

https://www.synopsys.com/blogs/software-security/breach-gpl-...

Jacobsen v. Katzer is a complicated affair but regardless of your interpretations it certainly doesn't concern the revocation of a bare license. Most of the action seems to concern whether the party could get damages.

New API access feature for reading and writing Beancount data easily
Rust shares a lot of performance advantages around pointer aliasing with fortran. In fortran, pointers can't alias by default, and in rust, the borrow checker should be able to infer that a shared and exclusive reference don't alias, allowing the compiler to assume that it's not writing to input values of a loop, etc.

In C, pointers can alias by default. The last time I checked, that made these sorts of optimizations harder. However, I'm not sure how measurable the performance impact is these days.
Which part of that is new, because I was pretty sure they were saying "we do not train on your business data or conversations, and our models don’t learn from your usage" already. Maybe the SOC 2 and encryption is new?
THEY REQUIRE A BATTERY RELIANT ON A GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN: Tesla absolutely manufactures batteries in the USA, and virtually every major economy now recognizes national battery manufacturing ability is a national security issue. Lithium sources exist domestically. Sodium ion chemistries as good as LFP used in the current gen of ebikes is in mass production. Sulfur chemistries will probably come in 5 years.

This is not what I meant...

I think a lot of employees also convince themselves that if they unplug for a long vacation (which used to be pretty much inevitable), their career will be hosed or the company will fall apart.

I took a number of month long vacations before there was much in the way of internet and I had people come up to me and basically be in astonishment that I could do that.
Not even the homeowner? I can understand requiring a certification to do paid electrician work, but it seems a bit unreasonable to say you can't do work on your own home.
> In a centralized system that's the end, but in a decentralized one another company is now free to take advantage of that gap in the market and offer to support those tokens.

You’re saying the new company makes a new game to support the skins?

Other than “making those skins be worth money,” why do we need to spend so much effort on proof of ownership then? Couldn’t the new developer just make those skins available for free and improve everyone’s lives?

To me, that's like saying, "You can have a glass of water, but you can't have my car" is a contract.

"Give me a dollar and you can have this glass of water" is a contract.

edit: and to be a tiny bit less glib, a license is where I give up rights I already have, under particular conditions that I dictate. If you choose not to abide by those conditions, the only thing that happens is that I regain the ability to use the rights that I already have. I don't gain any super-copyright powers, or a more powerful copyright.
this is precisely my point :)
Depending on the scale and complexity, if you make no effort to control resource usage, costs grow exponentially, sometimes even without growth in business because the requirements just become more complex. For a certain optimization, you may save 1TB today, but end up saving 2TB some years down the road; just a few of these decisons you could be looking at a difference of a magnitude or more, sometimes even at larger scale. Overall there's always a balance to be struck.

Why would any company operate a store in San Francisco when there are no deterrents to shoplifting and the criminals aren't even prosecuted? Additionally, this is not isolated to San Francisco as Oakland and Los Angeles are just as bad if not worse. California reaps what it sows.
> Part of the issue is that articles like this one tend to conflate individual poor people shoplifting small items with these organized gangs.

I consider myself liberal, but this sentence highlights the point a lot of people have issue with: that somehow many "on the left" have rationalized theft as being OK if you're poor. That is absolutely the point at which society and the social contract breaks down, because it becomes exceedingly easy for anyone to rationalize taking something from others because "they deserve it" in some way.

I'm all for providing better services and support (not to mention a better structured economy) for those who are poor. I also believe "the punishment should fit the crime", and stealing low-dollar goods should result in commensurate punishment. I'm not for allowing the poor to steal with no consequences just because they can't afford stuff.
