> Because she stayed in the unit for six months, Hirschhorn qualified for L.A.'s recently adopted Just Cause Ordinance, which requires a landlord to have a legal reason to evict her, and if there is no legal reason, the landlord is required to pay for relocation assistance for the tenant

Wow. Is that a law most Californians support?
In theory, having a third party would be nice. In my experience, it's merely added substantial friction to the process. Any changes required going back through the third party, which means waiting to talk to someone for changes that I could normally do online.
They gave the Nobel Peace Prize to a US president who had ordered so many drone strikes that even by the US's own admission, hundreds of children were slaughtered.

It's pretty farcical.
> I just think its more important to focus on what we do, rather than what we call ourselves.

And to describe what we do, we use words. I use the word "programmer" to describe how I spend my work day, mostly programming. I use the word "Londoner" to describe where I live, London.

You can't escape using words to describe yourself!
Plenty of human rights activists have won the Nobel peace prize in the recent past, this is nothing new.
I love that the bank holiday one tells you whether or not bunting is appropriate on that day. It looks like the ones for which it isn't are ones commemorating death, like the state funeral of Elizabeth II and Good Friday (Crucifixion of Jesus).

Build the habit to focus at will and discipline is less of an issue. I suppose focusing at will and doing what you think needs to be done is what discipline is.

On another note, one motivational trick I am applying nowadays with everything is to learn meta-skills like these in many different contexts (otherwise it won’t transfer).

Maybe it’s not another note. Maybe that’s the way how I stay motivated to focus at will for any given task.

It’s still early days. Also, I am doing this in conjunction with tackling my compulsion to go to YouTube.
Where did you find this? Is it part of the API response?

> It's a real hacker mindset

You seem to have a very loose definition of what a "hacker mindset" is than most people: "the ability to find alternative ways to achieve their goals, bypassing bottlenecks and hurdles and thinking outside the box."

This is someone taking that concept to the extent of criminal behavior.
>while that's harder to do between processes and you have to resort to copying data in the queue instead.

I could be wrong - I've never done it, but I understood that you can even store POSIX mutexes and condition vars in shared mem
so that 2 processes (or more?) can process data without copying, so long as they use the both use the same locks stored in the shared memory.
Volatile structs are also not guaranteed atomic, so you do not lose any portability by changing questionable volatile atomic word sized variables to _Atomic (except portability to pre-C11 compilers of course, but then you can #define _Atomic volatile and pray for the best).
> Coding...is engineering. Put the world behind the wheel of a car and they can make it go places. This...does not make them an automotive mechanic.

What a terrible analogy, just because you know the car's firmware doesn't mean you know how to properly diagnose something not related to the electronics (worn wheel bearings or suspension components) let alone how to diagnose or repair.

While I agree coding serves engineering, it's always funny to me how quick people want to use the term 'engineer' when it suits them, but then developer when things go wrong and accountability is on the table. Furthermore, engineers tend to have licenses in their respective fields, something I don't personally agree with, and to this day I have yet to see the same in IC roles.

Sidenote: As a former tech (mechanic) there were times when you would question not just an engineer's competence, but their entire sanity given how something was deployed, and needed to come up with a work-around for it to function correctly; which is why I think coders (at least the proficient ones) are more like techs.

The property is expensive and the lawyer is also not free. So we can assume the renter is not someone destitute.

As someone who once was a small business owner, I was always way more afraid of rich scammer clients than of the poor ones. The rich when they feel entitled to take what is yours, are far more brazen, well equipped to explore the laws to do so, and completely shameless.

I have an HP-35S at work and an HP-28S at home. The '28 I bought in 1989 so it's 34 years old now. The plastic has cracked near the battery door (as they all seem to do) and the display is losing contrast, but I'm okay with it because 30+ years is a pretty good run. Nothing lasts forever.

Earlier this year I started to look around for a replacement calculator and found that HP just released a collector's edition version of the HP-15C. I bought one and so far I'm very happy with it. It feels well made, it's fast, and I enjoy using it.

My favorite Nobel peace prize goes to Abiy Ahmed who was awarded 2019 prize. He went to Sweden took the prize, deliver a speech then a couple of months later he went on a streak of atrocious in Ethiopia [1]. You name it ( mass killing, rape, genocide..etc).

Also take into consideration that any head of state, prime minister or cabinet member in any government can nominate people for the prize (A lot of other people can do that too)[2] . So it would be always interesting to know who our governments officials nominated over time

I wasn't alive for those, but I do too.

I just don't understand why or how we as a society think it's a great idea to let defense contractors behave as if it's a public corporation that needs to increase revenue every quarter. That to me is a huge national security risk - your top weapons manufacturer bases its decisions off how much money it could make versus how it would affect defense readiness....and ex-military turned lobbyists (or board members) see nothing wrong with that.
I meant 'TV' as in TV channels provided by a cable provider, not 'TV' as in a large monitor hanging on your wall.
I don’t know that “I don’t understand why they are mad that I’m stealing from them even though I agreed to pay for the cost by watching ads” is really the argument that you are hoping for. YouTube is a business and delivering video costs a significant amount of money. If you want to use it you are agreeing to watch ads to pay for that costs or to pay for a premium plan. At least be honest with yourself about the situation, and this comes from someone he vehemently hates ads as much as the next person, but that is “the cost of admission” so to speak.
Aren't these cards using NFC also running Java, just like most (all?) smartcards?
I don't know what the law in California is, but such provisions are not very rare. The reason for them is to deal with e.g. landlords that rent without a written contact, or various complicated fraudulent situations (subletting when that's not allowed, pretending to be a landlord, etc.). The premise behind them is that (a) depriving someone of a place to live should require a very high bar (b) property owners are expected to keep track of what's going on with their property.

There's obviously abuse enabled by this, but the correct amount of renter-initiated abuse is not zero.
Some optimizations are allowed within the rules of the memory model. For example, for an atomic x:

x=2

Can be changed to just x=2. Still forward progress and eventual visibility must be guaranteed.

While I believe the general CCC public to be more careful regarding covid, I'd say they had to make that decision long before december. I don't know how long beforehand though, as many rules ran out around a year ago(? not super sure).

> I honestly think that it's mostly virtue signalling, i.e. showing that you're a good member of the scene.

Out of curiosity, how would you describe the difference between virtue signaling and actually possessing a virtue, e.g., showing that you're a good member vs being a good member of the scene.

For me, virtue signalling always seemed to imply words instead of actions, claiming things instead of doing things. But actually wearing masks and canceling events are actions to me, not just words. (This relies on the assumption that the people organizing the events and spaces, actually care about them, and don't just run them to show how much they care.)

A leisure suit is just a suit that's only used for discos/night clubbing, they were often white with big lapels - a style that only miami vice agents could really pull off as 'work' attire.

A lounge lizard was someone that frequented the type of pick-up orientated disco/lounge/night clubs that were the rage at the time.

'lounge' as a type of bar with easy listening or jazz 'soft music' in the background often used as pick-up grounds seem to have been mostly an american thing, although I wouldn't be surprised if they were common in Germany too for some reason.

edit: I suppose 'wine bars' are the modernish (european) equivalent to american 'lounge' bars, but I have no idea if they were similar in their 80s incantation since I never had any interest in wine bars at that time.
This "for the people and by the people" thing does not appear to be empirically true. Here's a study out of Harvard:

You don’t think yourself in another emotional state, you act yourself into one (act as in you do stuff not act as in acting like an actor).

This is what I found combatting my social anxiety by approaching people on the street. Even after a decade of doing it, I am still as socially anxious as ever but simply giving some genuine compliments to a few fellow pedestrians loosens me up after half an hour (in Europe).
Had a Quantum Fireball hard drive as a kid.

I was playing HoMM2 one day, saved a game and try to reload only to find out the my save file was nowhere to be found. It all went downhill from there: Files reported saved, but no longer there after reboot, other data inconsistencies. Norton Utilities for DOS didn't do anything to help and at the end my PC did not boot anymore.

It seemed like a problem with the spindles or the head. I wasn't quite sure as a kid. Desperate, I tried the only other option I could think of - dismounted the hdd and dropped it from several inches high. To my astonishment that did work and by repeating that procedure now and then, I was able to squeeze at least a month or two out of my Quantum before it finally gave up.
I appreciate the simplicity of this, and it's a great way to learn how memory management works under the hood. It's also a fun series.

That said, everything in this article is why I prefer C++ to C. All of the scoping is automatic, you get actual type safety, you remove a whole class of bugs around passing in the wrong arena.

In fact they do. Barely any development FOR the french government is done internally, all is externalized to "specialized" extern private companies (a known exemple Cap Gemini).
I wouldn't call them clowns, and they do have competent people but they totally do focus more on public money extraction than on quality, like nearly all monopoly position companies. Results are sometime good sometime not.

This is the blog post where the "20 million developers" quote came from: https://blog.replit.com/20-million-developers

Those 20 million, what are they? Created user accounts? Active user accounts? User accounts that created at least one Repl?

I have at least three Replit accounts - one on my uni email (which I no longer have access too), a previous work account (experimenting for doing interviews with it), and my personal account. Am I three developers? None of those accounts are active, do they count or not?

If that 20 million figure is taken from anything less than active users I'd consider it deceptive. Which doesn't mean Replit the app is bad! But it does make the company a bit suspicious.
This is functionally identical to “This is true, because Valve bans all existing means of generating AI content for games."

As for your dream of CC0 models, it’s a dream because you’d have to be asleep to believe it. I don’t mean to phrase it so harshly, but there are so many reasons that can’t work. The main one is that there isn’t enough non-copyrighted data to train any competitive model. The competitive models have only recently gotten good enough to just barely be usable, and far more than 90% of their training data was sourced from people they certainly didn’t get usage rights from.

I deleted a paragraph ranting about usage rights. Suffice to say, Stallman’s “Right to Read” becomes more prescient with each passing day.
Most of this post is verifiably not true with a quick search.

Physically unsafe? Security unsafe?

And 'use' in what sense? Day to day main device with security credentials, financial/banking apps, etc? Connecting to corporate/VPN resources?

For professional and important personal use, I probably wouldn't use anything not 'officially supported'. When my banking apps won't install/update, that's probably the time. But I just re-used an old wiped iphone 5s a few weeks ago to browse some news sites. No issues, other than it felt less snappy than current devices. But it's not tied to any other part of my life at this point (apple id, bank, medical, etc).

It'd be nice if anywhere would link to the actual legal fillings ...

The previous article was saying that she had to pay the market rate and she considered the market rate for an unoccupaniable unit as 0$. That should fail in court imo; plenty of people rent storage spaces that are unoccupiable and those have costs > 0.

I guess the 0$ is pretty critical to her side as you generally can't legal _not pay rent_. You can put the money into escrow (i.e. LA's REAP [1]) if the property is in violation of a housing ordinance.

I'm still going with this was probably a slam dunk for him to evict her if he actually went to a lawyer in the first place instead of trying to placate her when he first started having problems.

I would agree in theory, but you forget: private companies exploiting this data don't use it to engage in parallel construction and violate human rights to privacy. Law enforcement organizations can and will do this.

The same data, in different hands, causes much different scales of damage to people.
On a very practical note, it will trigger tsan potentially hiding actual bugs in the noise. There is no reason not to mark the flag as atomic.
Thank for that wisdom. I'll try, but the force of my egoistic insecurities are just so strong!

It has led me into this sorry, loser state where I constantly deny myself the humility due to me, of appreciating the single minded devotion and sacrifice of great masters of craft and skill and knowledge! Instead, I reject this beautiful aspect of humanity, plunging everybody into a purgatory of dilettantism!

Perhaps one day, when I am tired keeping this up, when my own existential failures have exhausted even my own bad faith arguments, I will stand back and see life for what it is. I will see the programmers and the doctors. I will notice the calm adeptness and global purview of the grandmaster. The life-or-death meditation on the body and force of the karate master. The almost impossible marriage of precision and emotion of the musician.

I will see this eventually, after my insecurities wither in age and malnourishment. All along I thought it was a source of pain, these great people, a reminder of my own inadequacy. But I'll realize, in the future, that this can actually be the most affirming thing about anyone's life! To even know of these great people! To be given a horizon itself, a set of peaks to aim for, is all that matters. Humility and admiration are blessings of life, and the high bar of human achievment only generates ever greater accomplishments for the world at large. It is important, even necessary, to recognize and attribute mastery and great accomplishment only where its due. Because otherwise nothing is real and everybody is fake.

But I'm not there yet. I am young and I am more a dilletante than most, so it will take some time.
I thought this was an interesting historical note:

> By December, it was again sighted in the constellation Di. The Chinese astrologer Zhou Keming, who was on his return to Kaifeng from his duty in Guangdong, interpreted the star to the emperor on May 30 as an auspicious star, yellow in color and brilliant in its brightness, that would bring great prosperity to the state over which it appeared. The reported color yellow should be taken with some suspicion, however, because Zhou may have chosen a favorable color for political reasons.

The problem with using the government to socially engineer society is that you even if you have good intentions one way or another, you end up playing whack-a-mole with infinite possible unintended consequences.

Its also like 300,000 dollars to get a liquor license in L.A. which is the government essentially excluding all small business from starting a bar and playing favoritism to big corporations with the stated intention of safety/regulation.
