I wish I had an answer. But in case it helps in any way, I built a few different versions of my product and had over 800 sign ups over the course of four or five months during which it was free. Most of them seemed to try it at least a little. Out of that, two people were interested in paying $5 per month.

So the new version I am working on is less expensive to operate, for one thing.

How did you manage to get people to actually talk to you? Hardly anyone actually said anything in the Discord. And there weren't many in there. Did you call people on the phone or something?

Somewhat relatedly:

About 2 months ago, Microsoft Defender's Enterprise web filter started blocking all requests to the Brave browser domain including their search.

I've brought this up in a couple places and I've only gotten vague responses about how Brave supposedly had "malware" a couple years ago. That still does little to explain the recent addition to the blocklist, however.
I manage a team of 20 people who are fully remote. We conduct audits of their work to ensure it's up to par. It's the same thing I'd be doing if they were in the office. I don't have any notable issues with WFH abuse.

My old boss ran a drop-shipping company with staff, multiple warehouses, and millions in revenue during the working hours of his primary job at the company we both worked for.

What's your point? Can you explain some of the WFH abuse you think is rampant, and how those problems wouldn't also be relevant in an office environment?
With 17 tabs open I managed to just about reach 4 gigs in use. This is the entire system, not just the browser. In fact, if I open Witcher 3 in the background with 10 tabs open I just barely get to 8.5 gigs in use.

I don't think your experience is generalizable.
As an example, fear of flying is more prevalent in the population than fear of driving. This is despite flying being demonstrably safer by any metrics you choose. It, like pretty much any fear, is irrational. That's fine.

This only becomes a problem try to rationalize their fears and make them seem logical. Again, if that's purely an internal struggle that's fine. But if your fear of flight led you to push policy and legislation to outlaw planes and airports using junk science about noise, pollution or safety then your fear of flyijng has become a problem that needs to be addressed. And you need to be ignored.

Which brings us to mRNA vaccines and the "evidence" of them being unsafe. Trust me when I tell you that what motivates you here is your feelings, not anything rational. I would strongly encourage you to figure out why that is.
This completely misses the point. Lockdown wasn’t a top down imposition. Boris and his advisors were extremely sceptical of lockdown and initially refused it. They only imposed it after polls showed the public were hugely in favour of a more robust response. In fact a terrifying number wanted a permanent curfew.

There are plenty of polls from the time eg https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/one-month-british-public-opinion... which shows a majority supporting universal phone tracking etc and thinking government were moving too slowly.
"The majority of new properties in China — about 90% — are sold before being completed." - CNN"

Not sure if this is some kind of joke. Many countries have laws that permit selling appartments when they are about 80% complete. Some have lower, some higher percentages.

Just your average low-tier negative CNN propaganda, I guess.

Periodically rebooting your device is good practice [0], and is even recommended by the NSA [1], in case you're infected with malware that was able to achieve arbitrary code execution but not able to establish persistence (which often requires a separate exploit from whichever exploit achieved the initial infection).

The iVerify app also has other features, eg a checklist of iOS features that you should disable for your security (turning off bluetooth, airdrop, etc.) which the OS does not remind you of, because it's busy encouraging you to enable them.

> Negotiating how much time you invest into the relationship isn't an ultimatum

It can be.

Whether something is an ultimatum is determined by the consequence not the condition.
> What ensures that the “rest of the string” is, in fact, a suffix of the input?

This is not something you want to guarantee.

takeWhile, dropWhile and many are three parsers which might consume 0 bytes. Backtracking via some kind of try parser would probably be unhappy as well.

> I assume the purpose of this design is for compatibility with lazy input sequences

Probably not.

> I would want to know the position and length of the parsed output
I don't understand exactly what you mean by these, but these would like be two 'parser' functions (which don't advance through the string), having types:

positionOfParsedOutput :: Parser Int
lengthOfParsedOutput :: Parser Int

I don't think these two are implementable directly from the given definition of Parser.

I'm quite far through a language implementation project, and I'm very happy about having rolled my own parser combinators.

The core I used was:

newtype Parser s a = Parser { runParser :: s -> Either ByteString (s, a) }

* Either is better than Maybe because it gives you room for an error message.

* s is polymorphic instead of String, and here's why:

Your job becomes insanely easier if you split parsing into a lexing and parsing phases. But a lexer is just another parser, which different inputs and outputs. Look!

lexer :: Parser String [Token]

parseExpression :: Parser [Token] Expression

But back to positionOfParsedOutput and lengthOfParsedOutput which I said weren't implementable from the above. Simply replace the String type from your definition with a tuple or a struct, in order to carry the extra information.

data ParseState =
ParseState { remaining :: String
, pos :: Int
, len :: Int }

newtype Parser a = P (ParseState -> Maybe (ParseState, a))

Not even just "software". Back in 2018 when I still used Windows, Defender one day decided to quarantine a single text file generated by my IRC client from a few years ago, containing a plaintext log of one day's posts in a channel. After some binary search I realized it was tripping on a comment containing a URL, which I guess was to some malware. I was very amused.
My understanding is that last names can be a clue, for those in the know.

Hypothetically, would you still feel this way of it turned out that everyone being in the office (remember this is a magical hypothetical) has a significant and demonstrable improvement in productivity?

This is more of a level-setting question than any sort of disagreement.

"Entitlements."

The real parasitic drain on the economy is the large accumulations of capital that prevent the Invisible Hand from manifesting. Being alive is an inelastic good. If people have to choose between starving to death or labor for scrip to use at the company grocery, it breaks the efficiency of the market at valuing labor.
This hasn't been my experience with other devices that have upstreamed kernel device drivers. Worst case, you run powertop (or whatever), and change a few entries in /proc and /sys.

This is even true for phones. For instance, stock GrapheneOS gets 3-4x the battery life of stock Android on my Pixel 6 Pro.

(Graphene can't run many things from the android store until you install Google Play Services. That then reduces the battery life back to stock Android levels, except stuff is buggy. I gave up on using it.)

What are you specifically worried about?
The 15-minute city conspiracy theory goes mainstream
Yeah, geographically big, but it's population centers are not equally spread out.

For example, Alaska. 0.2% of the US population lives in Alaska, and a small percentage of those live in the coastal regions.

The average American lives in LA, New York, Atlanta or Texas, etc. Not rural alaska.
Funnily, the one you don't list is Windows 2000, and in my memory that actually was reasonably hacker-liked. It didn't have the problems of the contemporaries - wasn't too fat (about the same as NT 4, but hardware had advanced) or too crashy or too much IE (or MSN.) I used 2000 as my daily driver for several years, even for gaming, up until around 2007 when compatibility with newer software and hardware dwindled.
Yeah, I guess my use case is completely different; shell mode is great and vterm goes the wrong way. But I never run even curses programs in the terminal, just text all the way.

The great thing about emacs is you can use what works for you!
I'm not SA but have tried educating myself. In terms of this ban within the context of the USA, I think it could be argued that there is 1A protection of religious freedom since the caste system is defined in the Varnas of Hindu texts. This conflict with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness would probably need to be hashed out in courts.
No, like 20 years and only in the very small percentage of people where you have people from the same part of India working with each other, they decide to carry over caste politics from India and take the step to bring it into their professional lives. This is a very small number of people.

Codifying it just makes it so people are required to remember their labels for the benefits that come from identifying as a victimized community and pass those labels on to their kids. It’s fucking terrible.

I fully agree with your explanation Dan. In general I dislike the "air public grievances about $employer", because it's almost NEVER a level playing field: you can claim $anything, while your employer is usually legally restricted from replying for matters of privacy (which is good, by the way).

That said: maybe there should be a process for reporting disingenuous job ads? You removed the Meta one for example, and to be honest this complain does sound more than just "I had a negative experience" such as a bad interview, ghosting, or "I worked here and it was horrible".

It's not even formatted properly! IMHO this thread is objectively made worse by submissions like this.

It kind of was a piece of shit with that little RAM (128k). That was rectified with the Fat Mac (512k) 8 months later in september of 1984. It was still quite expensive compared to the PC clones that were common by late 1984 though.

There was an interesting dynamic for a while in the 80s between text mode and bitmapped personal computers. Bitmapped computers were generally for companies in design etc, well-todo individuals and academics. To the rest they seemed very nice but frivolous due to the very high cost. That 512k Mac in Sep 1984: US$2,795 (equivalent to $7,870 in 2022).

At the time of the introduction of that first feasible mac you could get a PC 5150 clone with the same amount of RAM and much crappier CGA graphics for half of the price. And then the gap just started getting wider over the next few years.
The first CD-ROM connected to a computer that I ever remember was Grolier's (Compton's?) encyclopedia we had in the school library. It was a DOS program that ran on an IBM 286, external caddy-loading CD-ROM, and then a laser printer. Was probably an expensive and amazing setup at the time.

The problem with listening to economists is that if your only tool is interest rates everything looks like a loan.

Economists don't only study interest rate and banking?
Already know? I think that any technologies can pose a non boring challenges. These tend to happen when a technology is used at scale, or with an unusual use cases.

Look at 'boring' php, facebook was using this language at scale, so they had to develop a just in time compiler for the whole thing. Python didn't have that problem, so it still doesn't have a just in time compiler (for the default interpreter)

Also look at all the changes and action in the JDK (ever since JDK11). Is that also boring?
Not to be trite and dismiss the severity of this, buuuuuuut -

Not that I have the chance to check, but - I figure this both signals to the driver that I'm not done yet, and, somewhat prevents them from just driving away - they could, but then they'd have an open door while driving, and people generally don't do that.

As an Indian-American, I've heard variations of this to describe first-gen American born Indians in a negative fashion. Sometimes, the shorthand "ABCD" is used (meaning American Born Confused Desi) to insult American Indians. This is principally used by Indians who either live in India or emigrated to the US and encounter American Indians.

(As an aside, it's rather difficult to accurately describe my ethno-national status given the regular confusion with people of the First Nations...)

Read an introduction to economics textbooks. Use one from a popular MOOC syllabus. Cowen and Tabarrok is a great example.

Once you can turn everything into a model and an equilibrium the biggest systems of the world become much clearer.

I believe Uber has a separate category of ride for this. Uber Pets or some such thing. It will only match drivers who are okay with having pets in their car.
Something I think we're slowly coming to terms with is that the current generation of techies (the ones who can afford to spend hours upon hours tweaking models and sharing results) really prefer Discord over our Web 2.0 forum type communities like this one. Even reddit on, which is lagging in popularity amongst Gen-Z when compared to Discord or TikTok, you can immediately tell upon reading /r/LocalLLMs that a really big chunk of this community are underaged. To be clear, I think this is a good thing!

There was a generation that preferred mailing lists. There was a generation that preferred IRC and BBS, and "my" generation which likes forums and lengthy comment threads. One would be naiive to think this style (the one we're engaging in here) would last forever.

There are definitely very real criticisms of Discord, searchability and discoverability being the most common, but at this point I think the die has been cast. Young people have made their choice.
It would be funny if it was the prehistoric equivalent of the city of Dog River putting up a sign saying "Wullerton Sucks!" It could for instance represent a foreigner with the statue saying certain foreigners are wankers.
My company RTO'd and productivity is way up. WFH works if you're very selective about employees and work hard to maintain culture but most companies don't do either of those things.
It's not hypocritical to believe something, but it is hypocritical to act in a way contrary to the belief you are espousing.

A usable definition of hypocrisy is "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform".

In this case, a belief that car companies should not be subsidized by government while simultaneously accepting subsidies from government. The act (accepting subsidies) does not match the stated belief (shouldn't accept subsidies).

To take it a step further, he could be less hypocritical if he changed his stance to along the lines of "there shouldn't be EV subsidies unless the company needs them to stay in business", but to my knowledge that is not his position.
I've never had an ISP that I've liked since the dialup days. I remember liking a couple of the ISPs that I had at that time a lot, but EnterAct in Chicago is the one I remember most distinctly. They were very transparent about what was going on, provided great service, and did things like offer different numbers for different 56k protocols so you could get the best speeds and stability depending on which modem you owned.

Unfortunately EnterAct was eventually sold to some larger company and DSL became more popular.
I checked the comments because I wanted some good sources on the what-abouts. Preferably from the countries affected. The link to Graeber supports the idea that debt, like power, is destined to be abused. It's not really telling me that the outcome was pre-meditated by the national leaders of the US or China.

> Relying on a 401k alone means that in the best case scenario means you're all but guaranteed to work until 60.

This isn't actually true. I don't mean to suggest that the GP is good advice, but:

1) Many companies offer "mega-backdoor Roth" 401k, with in-service conversion from regular after-tax dollars to Roth after-tax, meaning you can contribute a total of ~$53k annually or whatever the number is now.

2) When you separate from your employer, you can roll over your Trad and Roth 401k into Trad and Roth IRAs.

3) After 5 years (which clearly won't be an issue), the principal contributed to a Roth can be withdrawn tax and penalty free even before retirement age.

4) You can always convert Trad IRA dollars to Roth IRA dollars by paying tax. These dollars become principal in the Roth and therefore eligible for early distribution.

Assuming you haven't retired incredibly early or made highly unusual gains, a combination of continued Trad->Roth conversion and Roth principal distribution can get you to retirement age even without any additional savings.
It wouldn't make any difference.

While you are required to have at least liability insurance in most US states, I can tell you that here in MN there is no link between your insurance status and vehicle registration. When you register a vehicle, they ask for a policy number and expiration date.

As long as that date is in the future, the registration will be issued. I know this because there have been times when I couldn't be bothered to look up my insurance policy and just made something up (at work, couldn't log into insurance site for some reason, etc.). Cars registered just fine.
I see, thank you for explaining!
