The 2022 Anime Blockbuster Movie Suzume by Makoto Shinkai starts out in Miyazaki Prefecture.(https://miyazakian.com/locations/nichinan/suzume.html) We're often forgotten as a destination, even though Miyazaki is a hidden gem as a Surfers and nature paradise.
I'm trying to change that through my Miyazakian website.
Not sure that's true. If you have N parties and N/2 submit lunatic candidates, are we better off? I mean, I guess we have N/2 sane ones to choose from, which is an improvement, but we also have N/2 lunatics, any of which could win.
People post really extreme controversial things on social media, and those are the things that everyone comments about that draws all the attention on both sides. It's the nature of social media.

Mastodon is too impractical. It's like Matrix messenger. Who wants to roll their own server? Mastadon's like Truth Social and destined to be an echo chamber of people who believe in it's technical excellence or really don't like Elon, but average people or companies don't have Mastadon accounts and that isn't going to change anytime soon.
Fake-usability is when 97/100 software developers find something more usable, but it's fake because I've invested a lot of time doing it a different way and gotten used to it.
I only have to sign up to Github once, not once per project.
Even after more than a decade, I still don't see what the "infamous dropbox comment" fundamentally gets wrong.

1. Why would I want to host my sensitive data on someone else's servers instead of my own servers and storage hardware?

2. Why shouldn't someone have a physical media backup for time-urgent, sensitive files? Last I was in school, if I had a final presentation, I would absolutely store it both on a hypothetical cloud storage volume and a backup on a thumb drive. If I were still in school today I'd do the same thing. Would you really risk your final course grade on the possibility that Dropbox is down when you are up to present? And nevermind the arbitrary and random account suspensions that all SaaS providers are infamous for (looking at you, Google).
> Funny thing is they said my activity level was too high (90%+) so my system was buggy. I said no its because I use key bindings and my input ratio is greater than their average worker.

This is even funnier, this guy knows how to work efficiently, get the job done faster and with less errors. And they fire him because they do not understand that such a person exists. They cannot wrap their head around it...

I've read elsewhere, and I'm agreeing more and more: MS windows is keeping it's users INTENTIONALLY stupid. That is, error's are strange and with weird numbers, checkmarks are unknown what they do. Troubleshooting windows is a nightmare all in an effort to make you go "IT is hard, let's leave it up to Microsoft, let's just rent it all from the cloud"

The more and longer I use Linux, the more I understand it and the landscape around it. Logs are much more "sane". Also: how to do correct troubleshooting steps. (Instead of the "shooting in the dark" type of troubleshooting that people with Windows tend to do.)

I'm at the point of blaming most bad practices in IT departments on the people just being accustom to bad Windows practices and working around them, and seeing that as "the normal". Even though it's actually insane for the amount of time wasted.

But I might me completely wrong. This is just my experience so far.
I think both tools could use some serious UX love. The processes folks introduce around them - that's a different topic obviously. You can enforce atrocious processes with Trello or ClickUp but I find these much less bad.
No one? Just like no one explains that the 1.2v 1500mah battery isn’t compatible with the 9v 1500mah battery.
The only way it gets to the lunatic vs sane stage is because the primary failed or was biased. Fixing that (especially at the presidential level since it spans states and time) would help immensely.

Also, each side is voting for the person they think is more sane, so it's partially a perspective problem. There may be some people in the middle, but not enough to win a 3rd party because that 63% who support the idea of a 3rd party all envision something different.
What democratic nation in the world does not have political parties? It turns out from both a voter and politician perspective, the fact that banding together into parties for predictable ability to deliver results is an advantage seems to be a global phenomenon.

FPTP systems are bad for delivering only two parties, but all systems cause parties of some scale.

> If we had Condorcet voting, we would have elected much more reasonable candidates a long time ago.

Honestly, I think any voting system with an algorithm more complicated than counting simple votes will just lead to more mistrust and further empower people who want to claim election fraud. They just scream "technical solution to a social problem."

I have a feeling there's probably a contradiction at the heart of democratic politics: it needs a broad consensus to be successful, but tends to remove the mechanisms for maintaining the needed consensus amongst the people, and decays to hostile factions which will eventually destroy it.
Probably much much lower. If this was 2020 or 2021, perhaps, but multiples haven't even in that high in the public market for high growth companies for the past few years

"All Politics Is Local"

These polls are almost meaningless. Why? Because its city, county and state politics is where most (not all) party power resides, particularly on election day when "get out the vote" and election integrity is determined. Trump's election in 2016 stands out as a notable exception to this general rule, but his defeat in 2020 was very much a return to the rule. Also, US elections currently come down a few dozen or so counties in the US where grass roots party activities make the biggest difference.

Then, importantly, its from the State/County organizations that many political and judicial appointments are made by new administrations. A third party lacks the depth and roster of qualified applications for those roles. The problems this creates are well illustrated, again, by the Trump administration that struggled to fill positions.

None of this is intended to take sides pro or con a party or person. I'm just pointing out reality having worked in a city and statewide campaign, among other related experiences.
And yet they still haven’t implemented CD burning. >:-(

A quick implementation of the examples and re-implementation of the same process with match-case pattern and type() typechecking shows that the overhead this introduces is quite costly.

I understand that their examples are trivial, and the project's parent is a more robust type-checking function, but what real world cases would benefit from this @dispatch decorator? My first guess was that it might do multiple-matching but that seems to be not the case ("it picks the right one") so I can't make Fizz-Buzz with it. Is this a case of a branch of an earlier Pythonic style being superseded by new python built-ins?

And the infrastructure around storing and distributing those videos.

Along with existing integrations into other enterprise software (like confluence, jira, and zoom)

The compliance work for storing and distributing this data is already done.

The staff of experts that don’t need to be sourced by recruiters.

The new ability to prevent sites like Monday from integrating with it.

Not to mention the existing loom customers.

Reducing an entire company down to the simplest form of their product and comparing that to the price of the company is kind of dumb.
People want another option, but the problem is that different people want different things from this new option, so I don't think a single third major party is going to be feasible any time soon. There are already a bunch of minor parties out there. For example libertarian party and green party, but their ideologies are polar opposite and they never get any significant results.
Shh now. A basic interface that took 5 minutes to make in 1995 is good enough for all eternity. No need to change it.
Could you give us an example of something specific foreigners misunderstand about American culture, and then explain to us the correct understanding?
> it frequently becomes a "the relatively sane person needs every vote they can get to defeat the lunatic" sort of decision.

Until it becomes the a "both people are lunatics" sort of decision....

> Third parties aren't going to be a real thing in the US without a change to the way we count votes.

Exactly. Perhaps the single most important (feasible) improvement that could be made in US politics is broader adoption of Instant-Runoff Voting! It keeps things simple, maintains single-representation, but avoids the absurdity of first-past-the-post voting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting
Generally speaking, I think it's totally okay to try and align interests. I know people who feel a lot of gratitude to be able to accompany people through hard times, and would never want to call that "dirty work".
American politics runs on fear. If it makes you less afraid of voting for a different party, it is not in the interest of the party.

Slavery is the original sin of the American Consitution - parties are the second sin.
There's something to this idea, I think. The less polished a tool is, the more I'm inclined to think it was built by the community for community use. There's so much talk about enshitification, and I'm struggling to recall when a tool with a less-than-polished interface had that problem.

The example that springs to mind is spamgourmet, which has a FAQ about why they don't redesign their site. I've used the service for about 20 years, and while there is a bit of a gatekeeping vibe to it, there is also a good reason: they have very few resources for support, and want to attract a certain crowd to minimize the support burden. It seems it's been working for a couple of decades, at least.

> Q. Couldn't you make the whole thing a lot easier to understand by redesigning your site and providing instructions in a more clear way?

> A. Probably. Frankly, we're trying to build a user base of people like you, who probably have some familiarity with the way email works and who are willing to read FAQ's. This is to keep our support burden to a minimum (this is a non-commercial service). So far, the approach has worked well -- just about all our users hit the ground running with no need for support, and it's our belief that those users who would require support generally don't sign up in the first place, perhaps because of the geeky presentation of the site. That's not to say we don't provide support where it's needed -- after skimming this FAQ, please don't hesitate to write if you have a question or believe there's a bug.

I tend to actively seek out projects like this, since I don't mind the blow to usability, and very much appreciate that they provide the service and don't pepper me with annoucements about their new improvements or their changes to their pricing structure.
I'm all for it.

I worry that a populace that can't understand "large urban counties take longer to count their many votes, leading to big vote swings hours after the polls change" and storms Congress over it will have even more challenges understanding the ranked choice setup, though.
I woke up one day about twenty years ago with terrible tinnitus, to the point I could barely function. I’d never been to a concert or worked with heavy machinery and didn’t wear headphones (I have tiny ear canals and can’t fit earbuds).

I went to the hospital that day, then saw two different specialists, and the only prescription I received was for Ambien so I could at least get a night’s sleep. Even on day three I could barely drive it was so distracting.

I woke up on day four and it was totally gone. Like it’d just been a terrible dream. I still went to the audiologist the next day to follow up, he said that sometimes that just happens, and posited that it might have been neurological. He did suggest more tests, but I never followed up.

I doubt this is helpful to your case, but it’s an example proof of _something_.

My pet theory is that it was related to my migraines - I have very significant visual auras with migraines, which can last up to a day. Maybe this was an auditory equivalent which lasted much longer? (I like this theory more than worrying about a brain tumour, so please don’t tell me it’s impossible.)
Just bare plastic/metal, vinyl, some heavy duty leather mock.

In Buenos Aires in the 2000s they bought some old trains from Japan and they had red velvet seats. They were not as bad as you think considering they were used.
Managers and leadership.

Those are Atlssian’s customers.
Same problems? I don’t see that, it’s a local-ish constituency powered by national trends. States like New Jersey, Maryland, and Massachusetts all regularly flip governors between the two parties. Adding states like Colorado, Arizona, Delaware, New Hampshire, etc isn’t crazy for down a middle agenda.
Many states also have deeply embedded 2 parties into their various laws and legal systems in different ways. A viable third, or fourth, or whatever party would have a LOT of friction to overcome to actually happen.
The remote work revolution is here to stay. In the wake of the pandemic, millions of employees have embraced the work-from-home lifestyle, and many companies have made remote work a permanent option.
> using separately-updatable libraries in the OS

There are separately updatable shared libraries via runtimes, they're just not managed by the OS (on purpose).
It is not a media construction that my mother/wife/sister/daughter can get the necessary healthcare in the event they have a problem during pregnancy. Nor is it a media construction my wife got 5 months of paid leave versus just 3 months of unpaid leave per federal rules. Etc etc.
Some of the largest and most important software is developed over email, e.g. Linux, QEMU, Firefox, etc... Don't make the mistake thinking that email doesn't scale. In fact, for most teams, the opposite is true.
Yeah, before I pivoted to trying to flip journals, I spent a year exploring crowd sourcing with an eye on improving peer review. After building a beta and collecting a bunch of user feedback, my conclusion is that academics on the whole aren't ready to crowd source. Journal editors are still necessary facilitators and community organizers. So that lead to exploring flips.

However, I think there's a lot that software can do to nudge towards better peer review. And once we have journals using a platform we can build lots of experimental features and make them easy to use and adopt to work towards improving it.

I've kept crowd sourcing preprint review in the platform - though I removed the reputation system since UX research suggested it was an active deterrent to people using the platform - to enable continued experimentation with it. And the platform makes it easy for preprint review to flow naturally into journal review and for the two to live comfortably alongside each other. The idea being that this should help enable people to experiment with preprint review with out having to take a risk by giving up journal publishing.

And the platform has crowdsourced post-publication review as well.

My thought is that if we can get the journals using the platform, that will get authors and reviewers in the platform and since preprint and post-publish review are really easy to do in the platform that will drastically increase the usage of both forms of review. Then folks can do metascience on all of the above and compare the three forms to see which is most effective. Hopefully that can then spur movement to better review.

I also want to do work to ensure all the artifacts (data, supplementary material, etc) of the paper live alongside it and are easily accessed during review. And work to better encourage, rewards, and recognize replications. I think there's a lot we can explore once we have a large portion of the scholarly community using a single platform.

The trick is getting there.
And so, from a game theory perspective, we understand why the sane person does everything in their power to avoid defeating the lunatic. The lunatic guarantees their reelection. They need the lunatic and the threat of the lunatic is what keeps them in power.
> requires logging in again across all of my devices and kids/spouse accounts that require it for purchases.

Do you use your apple ID to log into your kids/spouses devices or do you have some kind of setup where they have their own apple ID but you just login with yours for purchases? Genuinely curious. If it's the latter, I didn't know that was a thing.

What you are saying is exactly what the article says, and you are conceding the article's point, which is that nobody actually practices pure utilitarianism.

Should be an automatic disclaimer for these but my experience my not be the same as others. My tinnitus still happens, typically triggered the next day after being exposed to a very loud setting, like going to a concert for example.
One day in judo class, I had an instructor come in who finished the session with some yoga (it was atypical but I actually liked it, stretching out my joints and muscles after being so tense). I felt a pop, not like cracking a bone but something lighter feeling. No more tinnitus. It still comes and goes with the triggers but they're less intense and usually goes away after a good walk and a light stretch.

Does that mean Slack has implemented, correctly, Gmail’s complicated permission model? Glad I’ve never enabled that integration.
I just name it users and accept the minor inconsistency that every table is singular except for the users table (it has the lowest cognitive overhead IMO)
I 99.9% agree with you. Some nitpicks, since this is a discussion of getting units right:

mAh doesn't measure "current", because current is the flow of electrons. It measures charge.

2000 mAh hour is redundant - the 'h' in mAh is hours. :)

But your basic point is 100% correct: All batteries should show their capacity in Wh.
Because it’s not intuitive how it works and people are often “surprised” at the winner. The winner can be “worse” than their main opposition.

So while it can upset the first to the post strategies, thd electorate can be disappointed in the results.
Congress currently struggles to agree that a functioning federal gov’t is desirable (as in literally, not shut down is better than shut down).
I don’t use android and chrome - but out of curiosity for those that do use it - is there a way to turn it off? Can you just go to a blank search screen?

Asset prices have been skyrocking for decades. Interest rates remained low.

Wages finally start to creep up after decades of lagging behind productivity, panic, need to raise rates aggressively.

When home prices double in a decade there was no concern, when a burger king employee asks for a 10% raise its a crisis.
That doesn't solve the problem of funneling public money to elsevier/springer nature. The model in which volunteers perform 95% of editorial work yet private publishing companies charge abhorrent prices for OA is absolutely disgusting.
A second is the period of a pendulum with a length of one meter. :-)

(But not really; that was originally considered as a way to standardize the meter, IIRC, but the period of a pendulum varies too much even over the area of France to be used as a concrete standard.
But the relationship is remarkably close for a coincidence, like the way a rod is almost exactly five meters.)
Oh great, that’s what Jira and Confluence needed in order to make them more sluggish, less responsive and more user unfriendly… a video messaging platform integration. Good grief, who thinks of these things :-(

With 1 billion and a team of software developers, I would put Jira and Confluence back on the right road, not acquire a video company ;-)
Dammit. I was good until I read this post.
I stayed in Urumqi four times (in 1993, 1996, 2006 and 2010), each time for some weeks. It is really confusing that the (traditional) working hours are from 10AM to 2PM and 4PM to 8PM. I found myself everytime looking at the clock substracting two hours. Similar as to when we changed currencies in the Netherlands when the Euro was introduced. I guess it would have taken about half a year stop doing the reverse time calculations.
Having myself sent VS Feedback in the past with video and other references and gotten no positive response except a bot closing for lack of evidence it's hard to care about reporting issues anymore. Much like other MS feedback hubs they feel more like spots to absorb issues rather than address anything meaningful.
I think this is a very similar concept compared to TiDE: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.08424 that also came before and is linked in the paper mentioned in this post. I didn't read through the paper, so I can't point out the differences in approach yet.

However, by just looking at this post' paper results, it seems that at least for TiDE they reported the results completely different from the original paper. It seems this is cherry-picking the particular configuration as the delta is a bit too much to just blame un-reproducibility.
I'll start with a project by my friends:

FXcursion is an STM32-based guitar processor prototype. It has 3 stereo inputs and outputs, builtin effects chain, looper and recording. It lacks proper user interface (we've found a designer last week, so it's in the works now!), and the hardware still needs a lot of changes, but I've been impressed with the progress so far.

“Gestures vaguely at everything that happened in the last few years.”
