I don't wish to make the creator do anything, all I asked was why it was not on Homebrew rather than having a non app store version be updated only once a year. Then you asked why I don't do it myself. I don't believe the user should be doing stuff like this that is the creator's job. As I said earlier, they don't have to do anything, but at the same time I don't have to use it either. I have no "demands," I don't "demand" that they add it. All I said was that if they do, I'll use it.

Again, you haven't answered why users should do it for free while it's a traffic funnel for a paid app. Seems you know this creator personally and support them, but I don't, and most users don't either, and many users use Homebrew so if they don't see it on there, they likely won't use it either. It's not entitlement, it's simply how it works. You wouldn't go into a store who said their inventory is only updated once a year while a store right next to it is updated regularly. Nothing to do with the quality of products in said store, but they're just not the target customer.

All this to again say why it's a point of contention to ask, not even why it's not on Homebrew, which wasn't even my point, but why they're expending extra effort to update it once a year when they could make their lives a lot easier by adding it to Homebrew and having it be done automatically.

I found it extremely refreshing to read about someone who defied the corporate-centric work model and came out ahead in both time and money.

Is that not interesting to you?
Rule 7 (don't use leverage) really needs some additional clarification.

If you're borrowing money using a mortgage in order to invest in stocks, that's probably not particularly smart. If you're taking on debt financing to grow an already-profitable business into an even more profitable business, that might be a different kettle of fish.
They don't need to publish it on a website. They could release it to the local news orgs that handle this type of video daily. It's not hard to blur things that would be offensive.
Feels like these classifications are AI generated and possibly some of the art too. Can an art expert weigh in?
The unofficial motto of Austin has been "don't move here" for something like at least the last decade I think.
I hate this, but we need it.
From the article, it implies the patient wasn't recorded on video.

> The video, which Cruise declined to share publicly [...] does not capture the patient being loaded onto the ambulance.
Title seems misleading and Cruise doesn't seem to be responsible for the death, but I have to think that Cruise needs a better system for responding to emergencies like this. Do they have remote operators who can assume control of vehicles when the vehicles are confused or become immobile? What is their maximum response time? Is there a mechanism for people near the vehicle to signal Cruise for assistance, like an external button or even a QR code/phone number to report issues?
Mitsubishi Pajero is another great one:

Mitsubishi marketed the SUV as the Montero in North America, Spain, and Latin America (except for Brazil and Jamaica) due to the term "pajero" being derogatory (meaning "wanker") in Spanish
Very well done! Love the design, explanation and there is even an embed. It's almost not depressing to look at
Is that because of ship fuel sulfur contents change?
He's right in that art consumption is an attention based economy. 0.5% would not surprise me. I think his conclusion is wrong though. He seems to question the need for a strike in the economic environment he described, but that environment is exactly why organized labor is important. Unions can make trying to pursue creative work professionally slightly more bearable.
This is what I've been saying about the people in SF. While I feel for you, I hope they don't come back here. Every city, including SF and Austin, are better off without the people who don't actually want to live there.
I am surprised that GP mentioned LabView but not Simulink. Simulink is the workhorse of signal processing research.
The American Heritage dictionary deserves a mention, not only for its extensive usage panels of writers, but for its practice of putting the most current meanings first, so that the dread “Webster’s defines X as…” is not followed by some antique meaning from the 1700s, but by a current meaning. The OED has no equal, of course, but for a dictionary that one can lift with one hand and read without a magnifier, the AHD is a high value tool.
ViMusic is abandoned
Yeah but that isn't because of race. Replacing the race doesn't work with asian men nor black men that come from africa as 0th gen/1st gen immigrants.

This is uniquely an african american problem suggesting alternative reasoning (culture, education/values etc).

That feels like trying to get by on a technicality. The casual reader would reasonably interpret "after" to imply some causation the way this headline is written.

The systems aren’t build to handle the real world. The issue isn’t really technical though, at least not in my opinion. We manage a lot of companies in a lot of different countries and the best fit for us was Microsoft’s BC365, which is frankly still a horrible fit. The issues are mainly related to legislation though, and I’m not sure how you could really plan on disrupting that part of company management even if you wanted to.
Gold is an unproductive asset, that does not do anything useful against inflation, and when used to back currency (e.g., Gold Standard) does not help with stability (and may actually cause instability):

The only question that remains then perhaps is, whether this statement was from the inside or the outside.
I mean, why don't we have GAI?

I don't know how to describe it except that performing a role in a fully believable way is akin to writing an engaging believable novel, which AI can't do, and is nowhere near doing, either.

If you try taking a beginner's acting class at an acting studio in e.g. LA or NY, you'll quickly see how difficult and artistic good screen acting is. How hard it is to perform lines in a way that seems like real life, as opposed to seeming like bad acting (melodramatic exclaiming of lines).

Of course, a lot of people don't understand just how difficult and skilled screen acting is, because the entire point is that you're not supposed to notice acting at all. You're supposed to be fooled into thinking these are somehow real characters.
The article says they are trying to...

I had a similar experience in the Legal field of all things. I was only a few years in, so could still relate to and be approachable by newbies. I kept my door open (we had our own offices too!) and folks would wander in with questions all day that I would answer.

The result was that my annual review was meh. They recognized and appreciated my work helping the department as a whole, but my individual metrics were lacking.

As I had a family to feed, I just started keeping my door closed and cranking out my own work. My reviews then imporoved. I realized that the large law firm just didn't have a system in place to reward the work I was previously doing, so I adjusted to what they wanted. "There is no spoon." :-)
you hired a sales person? can you elaborate on that?

It looks as though the entire issue tracker was deleted, not just that specific issue.

The US forced countries to criminalize the export of drugs to the US, even though though no country (the US included) has the resources necessary to enforce those laws.

The result is shadow economies, then corruption and finally narco states. This profits corrupt actors in the US government, so they perpetuate the cycle.

There are basically two sides in the war on drugs: almost everyone (non-users, users, small-time producers), and para-military syndicates that control distribution, enforcement agencies, and government policies.

If you read the article I linked, and also the one this thread is about, it is clear that the US decided to back one of the cartels with military aid and support in the local election. That caused a transfer of power that left 100,000’s dead, including the 43 students that were murdered by US-backed Mexican government officials.

Construction technology. Design software for horizontal construction is astonishingly bad. The PDF is still the "product" in am era where GPS and automated machine guidance are the norm. We're decades overdue on rethinking project delivery from first principles in the context of modern practices and The inefficiency costs billions. A single bill or FHWA policy memo on open data standards for digital project delivery will be the starting gun for an explosion of disruption in this market. No telling who will win, but it won't be Bentley and I doubt Autodesk can innovate fast enough.
I have read pretty much all the reports on Erowid on the three mentioned too and I don't remember a single one that sounded like a good experience.

I think the problem is being poisoned by atropine. It is not like you can just relax and go with the flow while literally being poisoned.

I believe the movie Hellraiser is inspired by datura too.
Why wouldn't they? While sometimes it takes more time than a normal job would, it also offers a larger amount of freedom than a 9-5. And if you have a great reputation and a constant stream of clients, it is even better since you can pick projects and decide when to do them and in what manner.

On another note, Nela is quite an outlier! I've been following her work for close to 20 years now I think, starting from her HTML&CSS tutorials long time ago. Her blog was basically CSS Zen Garden for my generation, teaching us how to achieve beautiful things with HTML&CSS back in the age of Dreamweaver, inspiring many future developers and designers. She gave so much to the community through the years with her knowledge sharing that it still inspires me and motivates me to this day to share more. Nela, if you're reading this, thanks for all the great work!
It's not just you. The result sounds ridiculously strong, impossibly strong.
For all your arguments, not a single source cited, real convincing (that's sarcasm, just so you understand). Also, got to love how you skip over and change your arguments as they are proved wrong; moving the goal posts much?

> > because the coming regulations will compel those exchanges working with crypto to force you to use KYC to cash out your cryptocurrencies, even your cold wallet isn't safe from this.

> Dam bro, didn't know that the world government mandated this. Also "coming regulations" - So its still private. Thanks for the conformation!

And your response: Nothing!

> Significant volatile prices and regular manipulative depeggings of stablecoins

> Ok bro.

And your response: Nothing! Good thing I use only BTC and Monero!

>> You're also ignoring the truth that they aren't private, so my point still stands and you know it.

>Private is defined as "Secluded from the sight, presence, or intrusion of others."

>I buy my bitcoin with cash, no kyc, and I coinjoin it. That's private.

And your response: "using card to buy bitcoin...isn't private". Dam nice reading comprehension skills.

> > You even admit it is at the very least "pseudonymous"! Thanks for the support!

> So you can be traced. Not private at all, exactly.

Source? Or are you just taking out of your ass? Here are my steps, explain, step-by-step how you would track me down:

1. Buy Bitcoin from a BitcoinATM with Cash, no kyc and there are no cameras in the places I visit. I scan my QR code (which is off to the side, so no face), give it cash and its sent to my new wallet

2. I coinjoin the bitcoin

3. Profit

Go ahead, with sources.

> Crypto ATMs are also not private and shutting down starting with the UK and other countries. This is all due to KYC / AML requirements, pushing you to inevitably do the above.

Sources?

Also I don't live in Europe so not a problem. Also, even if I did KYC, coinjoin and cryptocurrency tumbler would take care of that.

Explain how you would defeat this, with sources.

> > How do you pay for a cash ransom when someone is holding you hostage? > Oh wait, you can do it normally.

> Answering your own question because you know you can't answer mine is a nice deflection.

If not crypto, giftcards will work in a pinch (personal, smaller than $5,000) [2]. And for larger amounts, what I already cited works. [1]

> SEC v Ripple case isn't finished at all

Thanks, Sherlock. Never said it was or wasn't.

> No matter how hard you try and cut corners or ignore it, crypto will be brought under regulations, the US is just slower than most other countries.

Any sources? Also, don't live in the US.

>> The internet is not the real world

> Tell that to Google, Microsoft, Apple... etc [4]. Welcome to the age of technology.

And your response, for the third time: Nothing!

This website has existed for a while. I know some of the examples to be real. When it comes to names, I think they've explained the origin in some cases. There's a log of the changes they've made over time.
It’s a difference between loving tech and loving cold beer and barbecuing. Add to that calling people “tech transplants” (Texans just can’t quit doing that, even if they move to California) and worse climate than SF Bay and suddenly no technology loving person wants to waste time in Texas.
For those wondering it's a tool like eslint or prettier (or any code formatter) but for actual text. It checks the formatting, the style, the words themselves and the formulation.

I have used it previously, it's nice for documentation especially when engineers needs to write it but can be very daunting to setup and depressing when you receive hundreds of automated comments in a single PR.

From Roy Jastram's The Golden Constant: The English and American Experience 1560 to 1976:

> Andre Sharon, head of the international research department at Drexel Burnham, Inc., notes, “the value of gold essentially derives from its capacity to preserve real capital and purchasing power.”† I select this particular quotation because of the prestige of the organization and the position of the spokesman, but statements in this vein can be found in great numbers. They can be traced back for generations and in many countries. How can this proposition so contrary to statistical fact become so widely believed and quoted? Possibly because gold has preserved capital in cataclysmic cases it is easy to infer that it can be trusted to do the same in less severe circumstances. To extrapolate from gold’s protection in singular catastrophes to its use as a strategy against cyclical infation is an example of faulty inductive reasoning.

I currently use crate-ci/typos in my CI runs (it's great, humans often miss dumb typos), vale looks like typos but supercharged (but limited to markdown files?).
It isn't FUD, it's dumb autonomous vehicles won't get out of the way. Just force them to allow human intervention, a person gets in and moves it. What's the big deal? It shouldn't even be restricted to emergency personnel.

> You’re violating Rule #1 if you think your investments can be the sole source of your retirement wealth

What? That's exactly what I'm investing for. What the hell else should I expect to fund my retirement?
Warning: bit of a rant ahead.

I’m currently on the path to a principal-level role at my company. I really don’t know what I think about it. The jump from lead to principal is a big one in terms of workload and stress, and I’ve been told the pay difference isn’t huge.

Older I get, the less I care to ascend the ladder. Even at this point I’m doing it out of a sense of amassing status in case I need it, rather than being motivated by it. And I feel that lack of intrinsic motivation.

I’m mid-career, and mostly just tired of selling so much time and energy to someone else’s enterprise, especially because I watch myself trade away time that should be spent taking care of myself for a stupid title upgrade.

I think I am a late bloomer bootstrapper.
If everyone is saying AI/LLM then that ship already sailed.
Ha ha, no worries, it happens. I'm a tubelight too sometimes :)
AI for sure. I’d steer clear of prompt engineering though - it’s hot right now, but I expect it’ll be a flash in the pan. Whichever areas you pick will almost certainly be disrupted by AI, so stay on top of it. Generative AI seems like a safe place to invest in.

Biotech is heating up. Sure it’s not pure CS, but there’s plenty of crossover. Doing computer vision on the glossy insides of a person is a serious CS challenge for example. Its disruptions are slow but possibly larger than other areas. Intuitive’s surgery robots are everywhere you look now for example.

Augmented reality. Apple’s Vision Pro is a big validation of this direction. We haven’t figured out what the killer apps here are yet and I expect we’ll see a similar gold rush and set of disruptions like smartphones as folks figure it out.

Self driving cars. These were way over promised but we’re getting past the hype. I’d expect to see robust (probably geofenced) Level 4 systems by the end of the decade.

That’s fine. The input to the recycling facility has to match the grade that was shipped.

Anecdote: I'm not far from Paris, I was walking around a corner, dude on the footpath on a escooter runs right into me, luckily I am 188cm/100 kilos and he pretty much bounced off me, but a kid might have been less fortunate.

Scent has a long history in the evolution of our memories. Remembering the smell of rotten food saved billions of lives over thousands of years.

So if there is some neurotrophic result from any increase due to scents, then whatever it is, may be good.
Most journalism tip-toes around this line by declining to assert direct cause. They use terms like “after” instead of “because” as it specifically does not imply a link, only the order in which two events (possibly related) occurred. Others you might see, “experts say” and “possible link”.

I’m not commenting on the ethical implications of this usage, only the specific mechanisms they use to avoid assigning cause in the event that they end up wrong.

"Man dies after brushing teeth in morning." <- Might be true, but completely useless and irrelevant.
The current talking point regarding safety of autonomous vehicles as compared to human driven ones is a red herring. The question we should be asking is if we should be investing so many resources into cementing reliance on cars. It is super convenient to jump in an automated taxi and get driven to your destination -- but we all know that people in aggregate pick convenience overwhelmingly even when the inconvenient choices are objectively better.

Is it good to build fleets of multi-ton individual person movers that still require an enormous amount of infrastructure and energy, and make cities worse for everyone not in a car at any moment?

Regardless of human vs ai, roads are a lot safer with fewer cars on them.
Is the mentioned video public?
All that could very well be true. The important question is: Is there anyone who is prepared to spend money to fix any of this?

Put another way: It doesn’t matter if you have a product which would help people and save them money, if people, for whatever reason, aren’t inclined to buy your product.
> This is such a dumb take

No, its not.

> It's the Chinese government that actually has secret police stations all over the US right NOW

Yes, but that's a complete non-sequitur.

If the US decides to change the “War on Drugs” from a metaphorical war to an actual war with the US military invading Mexico, there will both be actual direct consequences of the type described on the US side of the border, and use of the conflict and those actual consequences as pretexts against civil liberties in the US.
I feel like there is a subset of people, these are vocal online, that think cheap houses and cheap col metrics are the pinnacle of life satisfaction. You get what you are paying for. If it was actually desirable to live in these places prices would go up.
