Here, I have met a person who immediately attacks with a personal allegation ("what I’m reading here is “you’re wrong and lying or lied to because of an ‘agenda’” and that’s it"), does so in bad faith ("I included the “lied to” because I knew you would try and sneak out of it like this"), and who repeatedly resorts to badgering me with questions. If this sort of behavior was directed towards someone unprepared for it, it would count as bullying, and I have no difficult questions arising from my responses.
I’m always driven to reach for more, in my career. I don’t think that’s ideal for happiness. Maybe it’s not always even ideal for my career.

Through COVID, I’ve had a lot of obvious gains. I used to commute four hours a day, and now I work from home. I’m paid more. I’m working with more interesting technology. Despite all of that, I still alternate between putting a lot of effort into finding my next step to a bigger career or feeling bad about not putting enough energy into it.

Although the overlap is minimal in many ways, I was strongly reminded of Wes Cecil's series on the Philosophy of Building a house[1].

Cecil's purpose is a bit different, but beyond the obvious theme of using the building of a house for philosophical reflection, I do think there's some cross-over in insights, if not in focus.

I recommend it to anyone, ESPECIALLY anyone thinking about, or in the process of, building a house. And his channel in general is excellent fun.

> Hamas to allow civilians to use its tunnels as shelters.

That is absurd. Israel bombs “facilities used by Hamas”, civilians going in Hamas tunnels will be a direct target for IDF.

somehow that makes me feel better about the length. i only watched 30 minutes (at 1.5 speed), and so far it has been very informative. if this keeps up i may end up watching all of it, but i'll have to pace my self so it's probably going to take a while.
When did the US last expel a French, or Spanish or German diplomat? I'm pretty sure it's never happened during the NATO era.

So either these countries don't use diplomatic cover or they don't spy on the US.
When I was in Iraq/Afghanistan 2004-2010, one of my favorite things was working with the military hospitals (I sold satcom to a variety of clients, including medical use for radiology, and then worked on radiology PACS stuff).

The Army Combat Support Hospital (think MASH tv-show...) guys could set something up like this really fast, but it was expensive hardware, required their own personnel, etc. This makes sense for the US military (massive logistics, budget, etc.), but not for others. Also worked (volunteer/charity) with some local clinics who didn't have these kind of resources, but did have great personnel, who could use more locally-acquired or bespoke solutions -- problem was it was slow, not uniform standard, etc.

A cost-reduced, standardized, easily transportable hybrid is great. Ideally you'd use existing standardized readily available stuff with minimal medical/flown in stuff on top.

Of course you can and should be entitled to make a living. You can do so IP free, even in creative fields.

You can’t make a billion dollars, IP free, and that’s okay with me.
I didn't implement all the IDS stuff, but I am pretty sure the certificate is not used at all to derive keys for anything related to iMessage. I think it is used to attest that the device running it is running Apple software, and it may generate keys to make that an identifier to Apple (probably also because the user may not have any Apple account, so they have to generate another identifier for that purpose).
+1. Even if many of the mid-twentieth century French philosophers were incomprehensible and self-contradictory, they certainly provided a lot of useful raw material for more grounded thinkers like De Landa.
My impression is that when a disaster strikes a Western country, they have the capacity to airlift the people in need of medical attention to real hospitals in areas that weren't struck, instead of putting up tents and barracks in the disaster zone.
> The rest of my [5] working hours were spent in low-productivity meetings, low intensity emailing, etc.

That would feel very unproductive, to me. 3 hours of productive work is certainly better than 0, but I think I’d have a hard time ending the day with that much of my day consumed with unproductive meetings and email.

Granted, a lot of my day is spent on our internal chat tool (Slack equivalent), so I suppose that’s mostly equivalent to meetings/email. But I would consider that time mostly productive, and certainly don’t feel like it consumes 5 hours of my 8-hour day.

But I do agree with the last two paragraphs (and the general sentiment that a culture of overtime is never good), and to your point, if what you describe feels productive to you, that’s what’s important.
Reminds me of the classic joke: “I’ve been using VIM for over 10 years. Mostly because I don’t know how to exit it”.
Well... Simone Weil very early in life already had a strong concept of what philosophy was and how she would like to tackle it. She had a genius of her own and is not fair to compair the average person interested in philosophy to her.

However I think we can trace somehow a parallel between the lack of general interest in those areas of humanity in early life and the utilitarian nature of kindergarten and highschool. That is, not enjoying philosophy early in life speaks more about how outdated our education system is in general and less about philosophy itself. We are just not practicing philosophy in school.

From the Wikipedia, 'The dispute arose once more when the supermarket tried to stop the trademark "Inspired by Iceland" from being branded on Icelandic groceries in 2015.' That seems cheeky, to put it mildly…

Fortunately, it seems the country essentially won their case in December 2022 and the EU trademark has been cancelled. (“The monopolisation of a country name cannot lead to the inequitable situation in which traders with real and genuine connection to a certain geographic location are forced to constantly ‘look over their shoulder’ when referring to the real geographical origin of goods and service,” the summary documents say.)
It's a decent consulting business, but where's the moat? I don't see the case for VC money. This seems more appropriate for a bank loan or something.
Well except that maintaining a connection to APNs is cheaper than spinning up periodic tasks to connect to APNs to check for new messages, and is exactly the same process that GCM itself uses (persistent connection), and you probably only have one such messaging app, so unless GCM is considered a major battery drain (hint, it's not) I think it would be fine.

And in this case, GCM actually creates potential vulnerability. This should be allowed, and if Google sees it as a problem, they should implement a system service to retrieve from APNs. I believe the API is public.

Backgrounding is problematic when devs do it wrong or disrespect the user, but this isn't one of those cases.

Android preventing background processes in this case is worse for the user.

> The cybertruck is unique in that it does not crumple like modern cars do, due to its stainless steel construction.

This is simply not true, and I do not understand why people repeat it constantly.

Cybertruck has an exceptionally strong skin, but that's because unlike in other modern cars, the skin is structural. In other cars, there's a frame below and the skin is basically just there to shield things from the rain. In cybertruck, the outer shell is the main structure. In crash tests, you can see that cybertruck clearly has a crumple zone up front, and the entire structure is not stiffer than other trucks in a way that harms the passenger in a crash.
And of course the Sinclair C5, which was much more eccentric, and also much rarer:

> If the law is "you will hand over this data in response to a warrant", how did they fail?

Just because a piece of paper claims to be a warrant, doesn't mean it is one. Warrants and subpoenas contain contact information for the person that issued them. It is on verizon to verify that the warrant the received was legitimate and if it wasn't, to report to the DA that someone is issuing fake warrants (which is a crime all by itself).

Subpoenas (like verizon was issued) are never immediately actionable. You have a right to appeal subpoenas. If the subpoena had a "You must respond right now" trigger it'd eliminate that right. Something I'm CERTAIN verizon knows because they file motions to quash all the time [1].

Are the stars on the website just made up?

I also find the phrasing rather odd. The open source movement is about "free as in speech, not beer".

Maybe it's meant to list "free alternatives" which is completely valid thing to do.
A hybrid would be great indeed, Bret Victor style with interactive widgets for each CLI argument. Might be a fun side project one day.
> While I truly appreciate the concept of bringing privacy and anonymity to this field, it's worth considering we are all quite easy to identify using these samples.

Yes, as long as they have the data. If a company would process the sample, send me a thumb drive of my information, and not retain a copy, that data can't leak because it doesn't exist.

If Tesla ever released a skateboard they'd no doubt sell it with a hoverboard subscription, which is ready to go "within the next year, honest".
Chess engines are a good reference for this. The decision-making part is a CLI that plugs into a GUI like WinBoard[0] or Arena[1]. There’s a protocol the engine and GUI follow, such as the WinBoard or UCI[2] protocols, which just exchange text commands via STDIN/STDOUT.

The main challenges are the same problems you’d run into with multithreading, like deadlock where the GUI and CLI are both waiting on the other. So both sides typically need to be running their I/O in a separate thread from the “business logic”, so both sides remain responsive.

A second common issue is idiosyncrasies around each OS’s handling of pipes, things like making sure you flush the buffer, or just the different OS-level API calls that differ between Linux, Mac, and Windows.

There are no free lunches. The idea that inflation can be curbed by companies being more empathetic is wrong. If they don't raise prices during a spate of inflation, then they'll have to fire workers or make other cuts.
Nah. The term Semitic was coined to refer to a class of languages, not people. The term anti-Semite was used by anti-Semites such as Heinrich von Treitschke and the Antisemetic League to describe their anti-Jew stance. This is the word as it means today.

The modern attempt to make it refer to Arabs and other Semitic-language speakers is itself an anti-Semitic attempt to rob the term of meaning. Nice try, though.
I didn’t even catch it was satire. I was like “that sounds like a funny bedroom project rather than an 8million funding startup.

To be fair, I did intentionally write them in a style to mimic propositional logical statements (which are tautologies) but you are correct that they're not in a formal system so they can't actually be tautologies.
There are ways where an employee that works 40 hours has less than half the impact than someone who works 60 hours. But plainly high quality code is not one of them. It works when you get a block of intense focus time and then go off to spend a lot of low-energy time in a breadth of business matters, including casually learning how to do your job better.

In the first year or so it often doesn't make an obvious difference, because you just seem to produce as much hard output as the others, but you have a faster exponential growth curve. The combined quality and quantity of your work can outpace others. If you're both talented and lucky, at some level of depth and breath you may become the best, help the company corner a market, at which point the impact of your labor becomes superlinear to your efforts, which makes the difference even more obvious.

The main problem is that this difference in impact is primarily captured by the employer in most places. Employers are either oblivious to the difference or short change the better employees because they only have to pay everyone market rates, as outsiders are often in an even worse position to distinguish the quality of the two types of employees. Maybe you became L7 by making much more than 2x as much impact as an L6, but you only get maybe a 30% pay bump.
Yeah, it is too bad this crap is the new normal for web sites. It saddens me that Gen Y (or what have you) never knew an internet before it became a marketing landscape.
I’m still trying to figure out why the volume control popup window takes 5 seconds to show after clicking on the speaker icon. That’s the most annoying thing.

I hope 12 abandons flat design entirely and brings back longhorns beautiful glossy look.
What if Spain quietly disposes of them and tries to leave hints to anybody who comes later to investigate that Russia or a similar country responsible. Anybody who comes to replace or investigate after wards is very suspicious and should be monitored.

For this round, you lose out on concessions, but if pulled off successfully you gain control over the situation, in addition you can get future concessions by an outing/capture whenever needed.
In my experience having a “rockstar” or hero programmer on your team is the surest indication of a management failure, either in velocity, priority, or hiring.
One thing that always confuses me with unemployment figures is that they don’t account for labor force participation. People who drop out of the workforce and stop looking for work no longer count towards the unemployment rate. Theoretically, if a country had a labor force participation rate of 0%, they could also have an unemployment rate of 0%, but that’s obviously not a good thing unless robots are doing everything.

Currently, the US labor force participation rate for those 15+ is at about the same level as it was in 1977 and down from its peak in about 1997, after which it has been on a steady drop with a small uptick in 2019 and again last year. See this chart: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.NE.ZS?locat...

I’m not an expert at all but I just find that the unemployment rate in isolation is hard to interpret unless you also look at labor force participation. An unemployment rate of X% in 2023 is different from X% in 1997 in terms of the percentage of the population actually working.
Alice still has it, so it’s not stealing as commonly understood.

I’d say the opposite - it could still be a huge deal to Alice, but it doesn’t meet the definition of stealing or theft.
I encourage you all, you CAN do the things you set yourself up to do them. Procrastination is just not having all the ingredients in the right place at the right time so you can ACT with what is in front of you.

From TFA in GTD methodology, you have the following lists:

> In

> Next actions (probably several – more on that later)

> Waiting for

> Projects

> Some day/maybe

I've only casually read about GTD methodology but I have been really satisfied with some progress I've made with my programming projects by taking a similar approach. This is my "In" list.

* I journal every thought in a markdown file. (I add it to a list by adding a new heading at the bottom of the file and then writing paragraphs or tables or mspaint drawn graphics :-) or draw.io graphics)

* If I have a "Next action", I add a phone alarm or JUST DO IT immediately.

I think my mind is massively parallel and is always processing things like shower thoughts and sleeping on things but procrastination is being put off by things you can't do immediately, that your mind sees no obvious path to JUST DOING IT. Some work is just automatic, intuitive. Other work requires lots of thought and knowledge.

But most of the time, I'm doing one thing at a time, be it thinking what to do next - by adding to the "in" list and processing. And I'm not spidering endlessly into the distance and then being paralyzed by analysis paralysis. I don't do that! Writing things down is thinking. I am always processing the "in" list.

> Projects

My github repositories often start as a Replit and I use the issue tracker on GitHub to add thoughts and break down problems and solutions in issues. Or I add to the README.md.

My main journal acts as my "someday maybe" list.

I was an evening into some programming project and there was a refactoring that I realised that I had to do, but I didn't feel like doing it. I did it anyway and I pushed through it. Then that was extremely satisfying because I got what I wanted by trading effort/willpower for a profitable result.
Well, Google just wants you to use GCM since it solves the same problem without reverting to a cinder block.

I don’t really know, but I guess the argument is that historically Jewish minorities have not really been free from oppression in any country at any time until the end of the Second World War.

So maybe there’s no strict need for a Jewish state, but I can see how going back to a collective of (often oppressed) minorities is not appealing.
I was the same way. I have a genetic condition in my family of unknown origin and the risk of anything happening. My genetics outweighed the possibility, and what turned out to be the evidence of what my even partial genome could uncover.

Unfortunately, I was the only one in my family who understood this and the rest were too afraid to get the test done even though people in my family have died of this disease.

A few years ago I tried to get my full genome from nebula but they messed up my order really badly and it took over a year to get my money back. But it looks like they might be cleaning up their act and the $250 price is really tempting.

Since our disorder is polygenic, there’s still a lot of questions I have so I’m probably going to get a nebula run as well.
It feel like some basic consumer disclosure/protections would be a good start - you can’t use the word “buy” unless the purchaser truly has perpetual irrevocable use of the asset - other wise you have to use the word “rent” and simple disclaimer box with the length of the rental period if and how it can be canceled, and what remedies (if any) are provided if the rental is terminated early.

Rent movie XYZ for $x

Rental period: perpetual

Cancelable: at will with x days notice

Remedies if cancelled early: none
> That said, the IDF has said it thinks it's killing 2 civilians per 1 Hamas fighter. This is a ratio that, as far as I know, is roughly in line with other conflicts by Western countries. The rate itself is fairly high but it's likely to be far shorter and lead to orders of magnitude less killed than in other conflicts.

The idea that this war is winnable seams incredibly naive. The idea that hitting hard now prevents future conflicts is an untested hypothesis at best.

Are there any examples of a war where an entrenched gorilla group with broad civilian support have been successfully "defeated"?
Well actually (Yeah I’m going to well actually you) many movies are quite literally produced in such a way that structures the production companies to not make any money and instead shift any profits up the pyramid while extracting the maximum value of possible tax credits and grants offered any number of political entities, as well as disbursing themselves from several liabilities.

On paper many incredibly successful films lose money. The game is rigged. The industry more than makes do.

People are free to draw their own lines. I pay for some things and don’t pay for others as far as digital content goes. The structure of it doesn’t even necessarily fit into this clean cut idea however. If I pay for Prime and download something that I could watch via prime ( and I do, because I’d rather watch it in my preferred video play whenever and not only if I have an internet connection or on specific devices or god forbid the thing I’m watching or intending to watch in the near future slips off the service) what is the math in that?
