Don't use a backpack for every day carry, but a heavy cloth shoulder bag containing;

I wonder why that is. Maybe they’re A/B testing assistant prompts, or there’s noise built into the architecture somewhere.

* Very few people use Emacs

* Anyone who nevertheless is using Emacs should be willing to read documentation. The only way to learn Emacs is through reading the docs.

* As illustrated, copy-pasting a use-package clause is an easy way to get started with something. The pain point is the alternative ways to set a package up that are distracting.

* This doesn't hit the traditional Emacs stereotypes of crazy keyboard chords, insane customisability or digs at lisp syntax.

I tend to agree that businesses should be withholding their money because of the persistent homelessness, but Marc Benioff’s “why” is a little bit off. It isn’t (shouldn’t be) the impact on conference attendees that matters, it’s the negligence and dereliction of duty the officials continue to exhibit. San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and others are failing to provide relief to their homeless populations, and the elected “leaders” are complicit in all that brings.

> rather it's that it's a fundamental primitive of the derivative operator

People run away with their math woo... You're just talking about an eigenspace of a linear operator. It's true polynomials are closed under d but they're not special - sinusoids are the most obvious other example. There are countless other examples as soon you start building slightly more complicated differential operators.
You might want to give this more thought -- on reading the piece, my take-away was, "this guy is a half-step away from inventing the slide rule".

IMO, what the slide rule does is replace the memorization of squares and roots, or of logarithms of digits. I've never used a slide rule professionally, but I've noodled around with a few (I inherited a fancy one from my grandfather), and it really forces you to think about scaling and precision in a way that's different from both calculator and pencil-and-paper arithmetic, and the idea of knowing how to do the mantissa, and then using logical rules to infer the order of magnitude, is central. I think that's the through-line of the article, too, or at least it seemed so to me.

If you'd like up to date-ish info on the scene, BMIR is a good enough resource. Seems that most Burners are resigned to getting out on Tuesday at this point.
It is possible to have the opinion that burning man is great and also that it has hit the upper bound of popularity.

This year was different - it was super easy to get tickets, often at steep discount. I don't see why next year will be different, especially with horror stories getting off the playa this year.

What do you use it for? I can't remember the last time I had to edit a text document that wasn't either pure text (like markdown), a pdf, or an office file. Some people mentioned ".rtf" files in this thread, but I don't believe I've ever heard of one of those being used for anything.

For me, algebra made a lot more sense after doing proofs in geometry class, and really pedantically showing what was going on. Before that, it was all "moving symbols around", which was slightly mystical, and more an exercise in doing what you're told than in figuring things out.

The key insight, which maybe people think is too obvious to say out loud, but which does need to be said out loud, is that if two quantities are the same, then they remain the same if you do the same thing to both of them. For example, if x = y, then also x - 3 = y - 3. So the entire game of algebra is to choose things to do identically to both sides of an equation. Anything about "moving" symbols is a shorthand for this process. For example, if you know "x = y + 3", then, yes, you do also know that "x - 3 = y", and someone may speak of "moving the three", but fundamentally what you're actually doing is not "moving" anything, but rather subtracting three from both the quantity on the left, and from the quantity on the right. You picked an operation to perform on both quantities, to get another true statement.

The exercise that finally made this make sense, was to painstakingly walk through simple proofs, in tiny tiny steps, starting from small numbers of self-evident postulates. This is in the tradition of Euclid's Elements, which has a totally different vibe from most math education. It was important to do this so slowly and pedantically that you would be embarrassed to do it -- you would worry people would think you are stupid -- if the correct norms had not been established. You need to establish the norm that leaping ahead and skipping steps is not a sign of intelligence but is instead sloppiness, ugliness, something missing, a flaw in the argument you're constructing.
I'm surprised they don't go for an alternative idea, since the govt has all the data. Make filing taxes online easy based on the info they have, but then require everyone to scroll thru e.g. a "tax invoice" that would break down the taxes proportionally based on the latest budget, with congress controlling the yearly highlights. "You paid $X for war in Iraq", "You paid $X to advance gender equality in Peru", "You paid $X to build a bridge to nowhere", "You paid $X for loan forgiveness for people studying underwater basket weaving".

That might get people's attention... would you rather cancel Hulu or underwater basket weaving?

> The other side of the coin is that criminals are using E2EE communication systems to share sexual abuse material in ways and at rates which they were not previously able to.

You mean at rates greater than in the 1970s when it was legal in the US and there were a bunch of commercial publications creating and distributing it (prior to the "Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation Act" in 1977 (which targeted the production) and "Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act" in 1988 (which targeted the distribution))? I find that doubtful.

> Does the industry feel that it has any responsibility at all to do so?

Why should it? Should every home builder and landlord install a camera in every bedroom to stream back to the government to be sure that no children are being molested? Why not? It's technologically possible today.

The fact that garbage people do garbage things to vulnerable people doesn't mean that the entire world must be commandeered to stop it.

E2E encryption has replaced a lot of in person meeting that also would have been secure against dragnet surveillance. We shouldn't lose our privacy just because it became technically possible to take it away, no different than the cameras in bedrooms mentioned above.

This is a direct consequence of US government policy:

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/dec/08/mexico-war-on-d...

I picked a story from 2016, so you can read with the benefit of hindsight, but it’s been the same story since the 1970’s (and arguably since the tail end of the prohibition days, when the US made the Mexican government choose between destabilizing itself or not having anesthesia for its hospitals).

Since the US’s continuous morally-reprehensible actions created and then propped up Mexico’s narco-state for about a century, and people keep voting in the US politicians that perpetuate the cycle, I can only assume things are working as intended.
That’s incredible!

+1 on that... I had a complicated ISO options situation once, and that was the only time I used a tax advisor to help me take the return over the finish line. The only mistake in my taxes was in what tax advisor did; I was able to figure it out by reading the official IRS doc a week after filing. Luckily it didn't change the amount owed, the income was just in a completely wrong field according to the doc.

The docs are pretty well written...
It’s important to find/figure out what a company values and optimise for that. Once a reputation has been established, it’s then possible to go about changing things, but not before.

I’ve seen too many stories of people optimising for the “team”, but losing their job or being looked over for promotion due to negative perception from those higher up.

The opposite is also true, sometimes unfortunately. Once a good reputation has been established (whatever is currently valued in the company), any amount of misbehaviour will be tolerated for a long time.

It shouldn’t be this way, but that’s been my experience.
This is called a strawman argument. Even in the writers strike some productions got a pass to keep working and finishing important projects. Doctors and nurses were on strike here, urgent care and treatment was still given.

I really hate how Discord intentionally co-opted the word "server" in order to imply that one can somehow own or control a Discord account.

Discord Inc owns and controls all the servers. There's no such thing as "your Discord server", there are only accounts on Discord's SaaS platform, which they can restrict/censor/ban/nuke at any time for any reason.

It is not possible for individuals to self-host Discord.

There's a popular package in a subfield (which I'm not going to name) which disallows redistribution in its license, but is uploaded by its author to PyPI. I wonder how that interacts with PyPI (given that it has a license, so would hit the first clause, but it doesn't allow redistribution, so would seem to be under the second clause, which contradicts the original license to users), and if the DMCA could be validly used to take down the GitHub repositories? It would also be interesting to see how many other packages have such issues.
The intent is good, but the govt doing it kinda gives me the Soviet vibe. Someone in my family told me that, before they were able to go abroad as a tourist (to a Warsaw pact country), as part of the exit visa process they were quizzed on all kinds of Soviet trivia and political stuff. Cause, like, what if someone in Slobodia asks you who the culture minister is or what the Soviet position on Cameroon is, and you don't know?!! You have to know the right government facts to talk to the locals.
Just curious, what would be the drawback of having a single government abstraction to do salaries?

You register your employee, upload the contract, set the hourly rate. You report how many hours they've worked. Then you get billed and the employee is paid.

Then gradually make the same abstraction for everything?

You register your non profit for donations. The donor is billed, the non profit is paid.

etc

Is there some problem with this formula?

I am not sure about the "...who pay more". As I am currently woefully underpaid I am more sympathetic to that view than once I was, but, I still view myself as a professional, and I act with professional ethics.

Partly that means speaking up when I see a project going near the rocks. I do not make too much fuss, but I do say it out loud.

That has cost me plenty. Our industry is full of people who are very good at one thing or another, but do not know their limits.

Part of my "being professional" is knowing my own limits.
