Imagine being born as a little girl in a country where women haven’t had equal rights to men. Now if you see a woman from your country doing something huge (like go to space), it raises the bar or what you believe you can become. Not zero value
> You realise that you are living the cliche of the uninformed but highly opinionated relative at holiday dinners?

What the hell are you going on about? If someone offers their unwarranted take they developed using talking points from "The Week", then I will readily admit my ignorance on the topic and insist I outsource this thought process to the French government. If nuke plants are, have been, and will continue to be heavily utilized for moving their electrons, then I'm going to need every "green energy" evangelist to be able to tell me why the French are actually massive idiots and in reality, we should all have hamster wheels at home hooked to the grid or something.

> Your relatives are almost certainly in the right, just by vaguely following whatever the mainstream media is saying, even if they can't penetrate your carefully crafted wall of internalised propaganda you've thrown up.

Do you assume all people are this conniving? I'd much rather talk about hobbies and achievements with family at Christmas dinner, not energy policy.

I would say bash, git/git daemon, grep, python http server as needed.

No closed-source application between me and my information.
Very true, countries signing up to end coal use is bad news for a coal miner.
I doubt a toolchain fits in a tweet; what's the real URL?
I didn't mean the specific cases, I meant the underlying mechanism that our brain uses to reason about these cases. There is something deeper going on that allows us to build rigorous world models from very thin abstractions, which can be applied to a seemingly arbitrary range of problems. It's this rigorous world model which is absent in AI and not currently explained by cognitive science.

In this example, the overall world model is able to easily accommodate "broken door" "functioning door" "key" etc. and come to a specific conclusion about this problem. The specific conclusion can be easily expressed in human language. The world model itself can't.
I remember watching a TV program about wave/fluid simulation (real time?) as a wow-wee demonstration of the power of a Cray-1.

In the meantime plenty of colleges and companies were running entire departments on a PDP-11 that had a fraction of the power.

Raspberry Pi faster than a Cray-1 is cool benchmark of how far we have come! The Cray had built-in seating though, which the Pi doesn't! :-)
What I'm wondering is how open the device is for being operated entirely locally. I want to make sure I can still operate it myself so that I don't have to generate e-waste when it becomes "obsolete" by the maker.

Otherwise the form factor is really good-looking and I'd put this in my kitchen.
I use Steam regularly, I don’t game on a Mac regularly. To be fair I don’t think most people use Macs for gaming. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Apple has a tight grip on mobile gaming though, that’s a money maker for them.
Have done the same with a rooted kindle... and you can get them for 20$ on the bay. The price really seems a bit high for a novelty item.
Why would companies that claim their own monopolies on violence and have no laws to answer to other than their own allow customers to do so? What's to stop companies from blacklisting such customers or collaborating to fix prices?

What's being described here is what anarcho-capitalism and pure free markets always devolve into - the mafia. You don't get to just shop around for a better mafia if you don't like the one running your town.
My apartment is too small. I'd _love_ to have a library with physical hardcover copies of my favourite books. But there's no way I can spare a wall only for books.

So, digital for me.
Absolutely this, 100 times.
I will never understand “don’t use all features” argument. Open 5 C++ projects side by side and you’ll find 5 different languages and 5 different build systems that are nigh impossible to build if they deal with dependencies.
Most of the motherboard's power consumption is dedicated to supplying the CPU, and that already relies on the motherboard to step down from 12V to ~1V at a very high current. The demands on the 3.3V and 5V rails are pretty small in comparison.

This change is unlikely to make motherboards significantly more failure-prone than they are now.
Alternatively, "There have always been natural philosophers, at least since the first human formulated a hypothesis about nature and tested that hypothesis with observation or experiment. The term “scientist” is much younger than the philosophy of astronomy, which dates back to pre-agricultural history."

It's an ill-formed argument either way, but since "science" (c. 1834AD) is a newer term than "φυσιολόγο" (c. 350BC), I'm going to argue my rewrite is the more accurate.

I'd also argue that the study of the stars was more religious than scientific, at least prior to Thales of Miletus (who, as far as we know, was the first epistomologist).
> I wouldn't describe Archery as "low cost"

Obviously the range is very broad, but around my parts you can get away with archery for about ~15 EUR per person (and up). That's not very expensive. What is "low cost" also obviously depends on the person.
The first half definitely isn't, it was a term on the list of top priority bad things to stop saying. The second half might just be me mistaking correlation for causation.

Other items included:

* blacklist/whitelist - mostly complete, but we picked all the alternative names depending what part of what project you're on

* master (the git branch) - yeah, that didn't happen

* backlog grooming - always seemed like a silly name anyway, refinement is a better name. Our backlog isn't a prize animal being groomed and primped for show, it's more like a crude product being belched out of the bowels of the earth that needs to be refined in order to be useful.
> how do we systematically realign delivering quality and efficiency with profits.

Free entry into the market, along with competition, are the free market forces that naturally balance those attributes over time.

Keep in mind that within a given market, there can be multiple different balances at once, depending on the varying needs and priorities of the buyers and sellers involved.

> It’s pretty obvious that there are major breakdowns in both the current practices of laissez-faire and of regulation.

Even if it may be somewhat freer than in places like Canada or the UK, for example, the US health care sector shouldn't be considered a real free market or laissez-faire in any meaningful way.

The US health care sector is highly regulated. This significantly reduces competition, and also makes it extremely costly and difficult for new entrants to participate in the markets.

Regulation-imposed distortions that decrease competition and impede market entry should be expected to result in the inefficiencies and other problems we see.

Fixing the problem is rather simple: remove the regulations, allow free market entry and competition again, and put the onus back on market participants to choose for themselves what's best for them and their own particular situations.

This is such a garbage response to this.

You don’t think it’s noteworthy and “positive news” that a woman from a country that wouldn’t let women drive just a little while ago is sending a female astronaut to the ISS? I get being irritated by weird and hyperbolic culture war nonsense, but this is pretty freaking amazing IMO.

While KSA has a great many problems - especially in regards to human rights <cough MBS having people murdered, cough cough>, this is a positive sign that maybe those sorts of attitudes aren’t permissible in polite company on a global stage anymore.

This is good news.
A good list of things which shows that people strive to do better and that we all can work together for a better future.

Renewables investments exceeding fossil ones by 1.80 USD for every fossil dollar and many countries seeing strong renewable energy growth are my highlights from the list.

That world happiness is back to more than pre-pandemic levels was also a big surprise to me.
My take is don't curate notes to excess or as its own end. Take notes to the extent that it's useful and (like email) don't over-invest in backlinking, tagging, and categorization -- search is a helluva drug. I find a lightly structured process for how I capture notes on upcoming trips (mostly during the planning phase), content I might consume later, bookmarks, books or courses I want to record some notes on, topics I can truly foresee wanting to come back to, and so in. I also normed into doing a weekly note where I capture a few notes a day that I'll want to refer back to, and track what I'm focused on that week. The dominant theme for me is a little goes a long way, and my goal is to be more productive in terms of writing and recall, not to be encyclopedic. This is absolutely ymmv, horses-for-courses think, I'm almost certain. But it's useful to know that there are many useful stops along the continuum as you're triangulating towards yours (imo).

Also, Obsidian is excellent software -- for me it's supplanted Ulysses/Bear, bookmark managers and web clippers, and todo managers. The plugin ecosystem is the deal, even as Stephano and team keep improving the core. I think it's reached enough users at this point, that even if they pivoted to a less non-evil heading, it seems like someone would come in behind them and offer an alternative for your folders and folders of md.
Speaking of the top colors, the repo doesn't mention that the color changes to red during Christmas.
Strong disagree, because "Diseases caused by poverty" is a GIVEN.
In that context, "...eliminated by science" is unambiguously good news.
That's not the information that dialog is purporting to display. That's a theoretical thing you've made up for this comment.
Ya. I preferred the sci-fi narratives with zir, zim, etc. But nobody asked for my opinion.

The history of pronouns for female, male, neuter, and none-of-above tracks with cultural notions. English's pronouns will mosdef evolve to accommodate the new norms. We're merely in a transitional phase.
The food in the US is terrible and contributes directly to many of our health problems.
I don’t really understand how it is still trendy to pretend that everyone uses Google for email and calendar.

I get that the SF crowd was all about it, but if the last few years have taught us anything it is that there’s more to the techie world than VC free money startups.

I reckon there are far more people who need this and who might buy this who are using Outlook/Office 365 either alone or in some combination than who use Gmail exclusively.

And yes, Office 365 has an API. Even Alexa works with it.
Neither the UK nor the US have a reserve requirement.

"I do, however, question the use of the label "ethnic background" because everyone is of some ethnic group."

That's why he wrote "ethnic background X". The X is a relevant part of the quote.
The motherboard can do the conversion next to where the low voltage is needed, reducing the distance and thus the amount of copper needed.
How is this relevant to private equity in healthcare being the equivalent of throwing patients into a meat grinder and then charging them for it?
Oh, you just done a heckin badspeak.
Yeah I’m skeptical of the happiness metric. Most people living their day to day lives would say things still feel a lot more “negative” than pre-pandemic
Does it have bash autocompletion support?
Very few. I think the only re-reads I've done is reading books to my kid.

Ian M. Banks' Culture series is the only notable exception. It's just that good.

Otherwise my stance on re-reading and re-watching is: there's too much _excellent_ content in the world to go through in a single lifetime, why spend time redoing something when you can experience something new?
> You’re describing government-run healthcare by an unelected government.

Government run healthcare, the healthcare where you just go to the hospital and then you just get treated.. (?) Government run healthcare does not have a great reputation for doing cutting-edge health care, but on the other hand it does have a good reputation for taking care of people for basic needs. How is that describing a monopoly on violence? Repairing broken bones is the same as breaking bones? (If the implied argument is that health care is so heavily rationed, that people are left untreated, tantamount to violence, I would beg you to look at the statistics of which countries have more complications due to untreated illnesses (hint, the US is high on that list [1]; or we could look at health outcomes per dollar spent, US is very far down on that list, US spends multiples of other countries for the same outcome))

I would think a more apt description and example of a monopoly on violence would be narco-states. Otherwise the example is a well functioning government, and that is demonstrated in the police force and judicial system (not healthcare).

When considering the absence of the government monopoly on violence, drug markets are the closest thing there is to a true free-market. And yes, there contract enforcement is contingent upon a bunch of people standing behind you with guns.

Another nice thing about logseq is that you can use it as a self-hosted web app. Thus, there is no need for Electron, you can use a regular browser. However, this requires the File System API, which is missing in Firefox.
> I don't think global tag renaming is possible in Obsidian natively (without plugin) yet.

It's not tags, but this update brought global renaming of properties out-of-the-box. Properties are the data-fields in frontmatter, the yaml-part which acts as a header in Obsidian-files. Being yaml, makes this rather easy and safe to implement. Tags on the side can occur in freetext, which makes it easy to have false-tags found. Putting some automatism on this is a bit risky I guess.
working on these sorts of building blocks for big
wins will often actually result in projects and teams
getting axed.

Had this experience at a previous position. My predecessor had implemented a solution that was extremely hairy, and took many hours to run in production.

My manager (a software engineer himself, still involved in day-to-day engineering on this product) said that it couldn't be meaningfully bettered. But in the meantime, we were taking a beating from our primary customer upon whom we depended for ~75% of our revenue. I viewed this existing solution as a potential company-killer.

So I spent some nights and weekends hacking together an alternative. Got the run time down from several hours to thirty seconds using some basic caching and a basic tree structure... not exactly advanced black magic. It also required about 50% less code.

I excitedly showed it to my manager. I walked him through the code. He became angry for the following "reasons."

1. Instead of making the code smaller, he felt it made the code larger. This is because he failed to comprehend that my MVP "hey this is possible" prototype didn't actually remove the old solution. It was just an MVP! I explained this to him but apparently it didn't take.

2. He couldn't understand the underlying concept. Again, it was... a tree. Something you would encounter in a 200-level computer science course, at the very latest.

3. My code lacked tests. Again... this was a "nights and weekends" MVP.

Probably the single fucking stupidest moment in the history of my career. I am not a person who typically has communication issues with managers or coworkers. I was dumbfounded that he was dumbfounded and to this day I am absolutely baffled by this whole incident. Our relationship had been deteriorating somewhat but not to the extent that would explain his brain-dead and hostile response.

Unsurprisingly this lead to my departure from the company.
Half the mainboard is already just a PSU, this just means the big initial step down from 240v/120v is in a separate shielded/grounded box

I somewhat wished they’d gone to 48vdc instead of 12vdc, though to further reduce cabling, but I guess that would be a big change, the 12vo seems much simpler
Also I apologize for the double comment but I think its a point that stands on its own. Kelp is also very useful for dealing with eutrification from either sewer or runoff. There have been some successful pilot experiments in new york harbor on using kelp to clean the water (1). Where its farmed in bulk it also has significant cleaning properties for local waterways (2). So not only does it help with greenhouse emissions but water pollution as well.

Hey people, I wanted to say thanks for all the comments: positive and negative. I've probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of code for projects over the years that had no interest at all. I am fairly good at engineering but very bad at choosing problems to work on. You have no idea how motivating it is for me to even have a single comment on anything I'm working on or thinking about.

No one I know is that technical and I'm not part of any communities that would get a project like this. Most of the time when I share something there are zero comments and it just ends up being invisible. So thanks. This will motivate me to keep working on my main project (p2pd) to make it stable and start writing program that I can run on a daily basis ('dog fooding.')
Regardless of your position (or lack thereof) on this conflict...I can't see why typical American employees of Intel would want to subject themselves to the safety risk of being in Israel. Hamas will eventually re-emerge (or something worse), and it is impossible for the Israeli government to provide security guarantees. Do you really want to be there on the day Iron Dome is finally overwhelmed or out-smarted? It will eventually happen.

I'm not sure Israel will ever be considered safe for general work/leisure travel again...which may be a small victory for Hamas...they've changed the status quo forever.
> There is a list of games when you open Games > Nintento Switch Games. What is he complaining about?

That the list doesn’t contain all Nintendo Switch games that the site offers and there doesn’t seem to be any clear reason why those particular 120 games were chosen.
Hmm. I'm not following. It's technically accurate. So how are you judging sincerity here? People forget that while Apple is huge, that also makes them a big target. There's no room for them to play nicey nice in court.
> My point is that software is essentially required to build the "basic car" they propose, and all software components potentially need updates.

Both of these are obviously false. Automobiles have existed longer than automotive computers, and lots of software continues to function without updates. I suspect you're aware of both facts.
Does not meet stated goal of the author:

> The naive solution of simply backing up the entire file-system tree is clearly not desirable since that would clutter the backup with useless build artifacts.

Build artifacts can be filtered out with tar --exclude patterns, but this is a language-dependent set that will require curation.

I post here every now and then about how effective a vegetable juice diet for 90 days is. Most people respond with hate and general info about how unhealthy it is supposedly.

At this point I have helped 4 adults (3 being 60+ yrs old) and myself try the diet. Even my own father.

Most can't do all 90 days for whatever reason. Every single person that has tried it for 30 days has lost about 25 lbs. The ones that tried it for 60 days lost 35-40 lbs.

Two of the seniors had blood tests done before and after the juice diet, both showed improved markers on EVERY single thing tracked, including blood sugar and A1C levels, even though they basically lived off the sugar in vegetables for 60 days.

Every single person agrees that vegetable juice plus meat would be the ideal diet for them long term after trying it.

Even with all that said, new people that year it says it doesn't sound healthy. If you told them your diet is 2-3 lbs of salad plus meat a day, they'd say ya that sounds healthy. If you tell them, hey, have 10 lbs of salad a day for 90 days, they'd say that sounds healthy but sounds too hard to eat that much. If you tell them, sure, why don't you juice it instead and make a gallon of juice, they'll say that doesn't sound healthy.

I think weight loss is very simple. It's just not easy. And it's not easy to decide to try. I begged my dad for 3 years to try 90 days of juice, after I tried. Finally he tries it, and is now a believer. My mom though, seeing his great blood test results, and seeing him lose 35 lbs and feel great, still isn't convinced she could give up pastries and bread and just live off salad (juice) for 90 days.

Heck, people will try hormone altering drugs before they try celary, carrot, beet, cucumber juice.
This doesn't really make any sense. GPTs offer the same set of functionality that plugins do + custom instructions + files + official openai tools.

The one thing they can't do that plugins "could" is work alongside other plugins.

But that never really worked- not well anyway.
As I recall, my gripe with Stadia was the limited graphical capabilities. I don't recall if the graphics settings were locked but I remember only being able to play games on medium settings and not being able to achieve any better performance than a GTX 1080.

Meanwhile, your XCloud stream is hosted by an equivalent of an Xbox Series X, which while a console-level experience, the games were shinier and prettier than Stadia.

And otherwise I've found their streaming quality, performance, and latency, to be about equal (not the best) although XCloud continues to improve to this day.
GN talked about this 8 months ago here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc9oRKexV_s&t=4m15s

That timestamp is where they address this issue. It seems the argument is that in sleep mode (low power modes), the system will draw overall less power with ATX12VO vs today's standards.

Further, if you go directly to the specs: https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products-and-..., you can see they talk about ALPM (alternative low power mode) which seems to be the reasons for this design.
Tankless electric hot water heaters can be rated for 24-36 ㎾ (max current draw 150 A)! These are wired with 3-4 8-gauge wires in parallel and connected to 40A breakers.
