Homebrew is the same, there is no good way to have Homebrew installation shared among multiple users on a single machine, much less to have separate packages for each of them.
Thanks for sharing! Zigbee is way more interesting to me than WiFi-based. I can see the appeal of being able to turn all the lights off at once—do you use an app for that, or is it a physical device somewhere?
Define "getting screwed over". For instance, I do not care about Google Maps using my location data in aggregate to improve traffic predictions. But so-called nerds would consider that "getting screwed over". There are uses of private data that can be harmlessly used to support functioning business models - the alternate is ads and/or subscriptions
It's not surprising when you consider that significant portions of the lands they claim are theirs are occupied in violation of UN treaties. This also doesn't factor in the long list of war crimes they committed. To me, harboring pedophiles doesn't seem too out of character for them.

>In a fair world they'd be able to deduct those expenses just as much as businesses can.

Okay but where do you draw the line between expense and consumption? Sure, you might need that BMW to "drive to work" but obviously a significant fraction of that car's purchase price isn't for "the sake of maintaining their job". Even a benchmark of "cheapest sedan you can buy" is tricky, because you can take public transit (depending on where you live), buy used, carpool, or bike. All of which get you to work but in a slightly worse way. Where do you draw the line between necessity and paying a premium for a better experience (ie. consumption)? Most tax regimes try to account for this, by incorporating a tax-free amount that's supposed to represent the amount need to maintain a basic lifestyle. Any amount above that is presumed to be above that's needed for a basic lifestyle and therefore "consumption".
> Corporations cannot just release a good product and support it

Plenty of companies do this. I'd wager most of the world economy consists of steady-state Mittelstand-esque firms that put out a good product with pride.

The problem is Silicon Valley's growth mindset was emulated broadly at a time when business history familiarity fell. (In part due to lower-level folks in Silicon Valley having a knee-jerk reaction to MBAs. In part due to said MBA programs deciding studying cases from a hundred years ago wasn't cutting edge.)

Growth is good. But trying to whip a business–that on its own will grow 2 or 3% a year and, with effort, 5 or 6%–to do 10 or 20% top-line YoY ruins it. The same way taking a growth business that could grow at 5 or 6% with effort, and instead committing to cutting its costs at 5% a year (the way one would do with a business that is in structural decline at a rate of 3 to 4% p.a.), is terrible strategy.

This is garbage management. It's bad for customers. It's bad for shareholders. It's bad for the societies whose technical knowledge is being eroded. It's good for a set of managers whose behavior veers between stupid and corrupt. I don't know the solution. But it's not as radical as overhauling corporate America in its entirety.

Still hoping for the death of .DS_Store every macOS release.
What’s an alternative system that’s better?

Apple’s Lightning has some of the worst connectors ever. I have about 5 USB-C cables and about 10 Lightning cables in my home. Each Lightning cable cost me more than 2x rhe most expensive USB-C cable bought from a convenience store and yet 4/5 of the Lightning cables have their wiring inside exposed while the USB-C ones could pass off as new.

The only issue I’ve ever had with a device on the USB-C side is 1 cable that is incapable of charging my wife’s macbook.

Guess how many of my Apple made Lightning cables are capable of charging my wife’s MacBook.
Oh man, it gets worse than that. After updating to iOS 17 the other day, I said to my phone "play OverCast" (my podcast app). It used to start playing from that app. This time, it started playing a band called Overcast, and told me I had just started a 7 day free trial of Apple Music. What the actual fuck.
I was excited for Matter for all it promises... but companies seem to be explicitly holding back support for it because they recognize that it will bring less control for them, less differentiation, and far fewer opportunities to force these money-squeezing ideas onto consumers. I hope to be proven wrong but I'm not feeling very optimistic about its long-term future right now.

Geocoding is certainly _much_ cheaper than other providers.
But look. There is a product that can yield some money by dying. Having died, it clears the space it has been taking, so a new product can be marketed as a replacement.

Thanks for the detailed markup! I'm going to take a look at the code tomorrow and see if there's some obvious mistake I've made with the highs/lows. I do remember doing some filtering to only show the lows after noon because I'm typically not outside at 5am - maybe I messed that up.

The reason the current temperature is higher than the "weekly high" is simply that the current temperature is from actual observed data and the weekly high is from forecasted dated, so there are two possibilities: either the temperature is simply higher than forecasted, or the current temperature is higher than it will get the rest of the week.

For what it's worth, there are multicolor e-ink displays available at similar sizes but of course they're also more expensive and have longer refresh rates.

Yeah but you’re not serving an indispensable social purpose by staying at home and attending to your hobbies.
That’s not evidence.

You know what you don’t see in America? Children working in factories. Baby girls left at orphanages or sold. You do see parents going into debt to pay for school, sports and other activities, deferring retirement, buying phones and cars for their kids.

Generalizations that include vast numbers of people from different places and cultures don’t make any sense to begin with. Cambodia and Japan, both Asian, have very different outcomes for children. America likewise doesn’t describe a single culture or set of traditions. Some countries and cultures make divorce difficult or impossible, the USA does not.

Anecdotally, as an American parent, I have seen far more parents centering their lives around children and making sacrifices than I have seen selfish and neglectful parents — even after divorce. In rural Thailand you see many children raised by grandparents or other relatives because the parents dropped them off to do their own thing. And you see devoted parents caring for their children too.

I can’t generalize anything about Thai parents from those observations. I suspect that opinions about how much parents care for children, anecdotal and generalized, derive mainly from misinterpreting cultural differences.

Under these circumstances people can't be trusted to summarized web pages either. Natural selection will weed out these "inapropriate" LLMs the same way inapropriate people are weeded out from e.g. companies by being fired. Models don't need to be perfect, just useful.
Thank you for a thoughtful post.

I always wondered: how did the late middle-aged coachmen of England make a living when the railroad boom arrived in the mid 1800s? Even Charles Dickens did not seem to care about them. I can hardly believe that they "retrained" to become locomotive pilots.

Automation is a wonderful thing, it reduces cost, errors, labor and time. But we need to think of ways of paying pensions or such for the immediate generation who lose their jobs. There are also future generations who would have been gainfully employed in a low-skill job which will now be left out. I am not sure what to do about them except education at a younger age.

There's no equivalent to the "child labor" in your analogy - and I don't mean that because upcharging for video games isn't morally equivalent to abusing children, I mean that because in this instance the potentially "exploited party" is the developers you are proposing a boycott of. There isn't some third party that Unity and the game devs are colluding (directly or indirectly) to exploit, where a "boycott by proxy" might have made sense.

If the dev studios feel like they're being mistreated by Unity, they are already incentivized to abandon it. If they don't abandon it, they either _don't_ actually feel mistreated, or they are just not in a financial position to switch over just now. Boycotting them in either scenario is not helping anyone.

I can find direct statements from chains that preclude it. I've concluded that it's just not the case. We don't have to agree, but if you've got a source, I'll read it.

Of all the problems I'm trying to solve, "using light switches" is definitely not one of them. They're fine.
There are several advantages.

I use a connected smart bulb, that has color changing. During bed time, I use it for reading books, and before sleeping, change it to a night light. I use it as a soft light when watching movies on my laptop. This is a convenience for me.

I also use smart lights to automatically turn on and off inside my home, and outside, in the portico.

I use automated socket outlets to turn on / off the water heater in my bath, on a schedule.

A lot of advantages in these things is in the option to schedule them, or make them act on the input of a sensor (movement, light, etc)

> Whites were well represented in the growth of executives and professionals

From the article's numbers, whites (57% of US) got 42% of executive jobs (N=~2677), 22% of manager jobs (N=~40K), and 28% of professional jobs (N=~104K). Summing these three categories, they got 39K of the 147K executive/manager/professional jobs, or 27%.

Your "well represented" is an under-representation of 0.47x - in the hiring categories where they are best represented.

Oh hey, fellow Miku friend. I was _furious_ when they first announced their bankruptcy plan. We supposedly paid a hefty premium for hardware that enables onboard breathing monitoring, and suddenly they're pretending they have to ship it to the cloud to do some magic? Nah, tear it down, and turns out we did pay extra for hardware.

Our Miku's use a Novelda (fka Xethru) UWB sensor SoC, specifically designed for human presence monitoring and, drumroll, breathing and heartbeat. Specifically they use an X4: https://novelda.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/x4_datasheet_...

Woah
Ever get a positive test like that? I've avoided jamming them in my throat because I don't want to get saliva up my nose, and have a nagging feeling that it'll mess with results.

I've usually blown my nose, spun the thing around the suggested distance up my nose, pull it out because I'm about to sneeze, then repeat that process until it has been up both sides for the suggested time. Usually needing to blow my nose out 2-6 times total, with a bell-curve amount of snot coming out across each time. Had it one time, and the first time I did it was the darkest I've ever seen a line on one of those tests.

I wish there were more cheap at home tests like these, for other stuff. The last tests I picked up were 2 for €4 in Lidl. I tried about as many different branded ones as I came across throughout the pandemic. Was neat to see the different approaches they used for packaging/documenting/labelling what amounted to a long swab, some buffer solution, and a tiny test strip.

I don't doubt that you'll get better customization options with apps, but you aren't doomed to a life devoid of color without them.

We've got some colored lighting in the form of plain old LED strips with wired controllers, we've had a couple old fashioned single color bulbs at times, and there are other options like this:

> Companies are people.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. - Aristotle

Companies exhibit emergent behavior that might be hard, if at all possible, to predict if you only had a single individual as reference. For instance, most individuals would probably never agree to manufacture a weapon that is specifically requested to kill your neighbor. However, this same individual will show no empathy and remorse for their labor in a company that produces something that is used to commit incredible destruction to the earth, even contributing to the deaths of millions of people.
I think you could probably just skip the awkward “I’ll be riiight back” stand up, flip the light switch and carry on. I mean unless the light switch is in another room you’d still hear whatever is going on and unless you are literally running the meeting I struggle to imagine what the purpose of announcing your action is.

Maybe I’ve become a crusty old man, in years gone by I would have thought that people would notice me getting up and wonder where I was going. Now though, I’ve realized that no one is really paying that much attention to anyone else, even if someone were curious about why you walked away for a moment, the room getting brighter and you sitting back down doesn’t require a brain surgeon to piece together what happened.

Once you remove the completely voluntary awkward part of that video call, fiddling with an app and flipping a switch are on a lot more equal footing.
"Most safe and secure" referred to the counting of the votes, in response Trump's claims.

"Interference" refers to China/Russia state-sponsored targetted propaganda on social media and the like.

Was it really the "most safe and secure" and is "interference" an accurate way to describe these type of activities? Well, one could argue about that. But you're mixing up two mostly unrelated things here.

Can you? A relative was cleaning out some of their stuff and gave me some Philips Hue lightbulbs, but no hub.

Your comment proves the point by being specific about the improvements that XeTeX and LuaTeX bring, rather than using "modern" (which may simply mean "new") and assuming the reader knows why something new would be better in this case.

Edit: Sorry if my comment sounds adversarial. Your comment sounded that way to me, but intended tone doesn't always come across well on the internet. I just wan't sure what the point of your comment was when the topic is about a general point and your comment is about a narrower point (that the specific example cited might be a bad one) which doesn't affect the general point.
In the US (not sure about other countries), new parents often stay at the hospital where the baby was delivered for a few days after the birth. During this time, the hospital often provides them all their food and childcare supplies: diapers, swaddles, diaper cream, wipes, etc. To get formula, you have to ask the hospital for it, but if your nurse doesn’t want to give it to you because they think you should try harder at breastfeeding, you get stuck. You could sneak out and buy some, but you’re pretty exhausted, and your partner is still stuck with a screaming, hungry baby until you’re back.

(I realize after writing this out that being at the mercy of your hospital sounds draconian, but it can be really really great if you have a good nurse or midwife. They teach you how to bathe and swaddle the baby, how to nurse, how to rock them to sleep, etc. All skills you’ll need once you leave)
