Note: despite my conspiracy-like talk, I do believe the migrant waves existed.

But they were multiple different migrant waves, with different root causes. Venezuela has been a disaster for the last decade but things have really taken a turn for the worse in recent years. Honduras had the 2017 Election issue (and is why during Trump's time, a lot of migrants were coming in from there). Etc. etc.

We need to treat the migrant waves as *people*, each with different sets of problems and root causes. In many cases, different migrant waves speak completely different languages (fortunately most of Central/South America are Spanish and Portuguese... but there's a lot of Native American migrants who have unique languages causing issues)

Its clear that its just a political football though. Its just a talking point, without anyone actually seriously considering the actual problem or the nature of it. I think that's what frustrates me the most.
Infrared Sensors Can Now Peer Around Corners
Many urban areas saw an increase in crime starting around 2020. When it comes to crime (especially violent), it doesn’t take much to change your perception. 1 incident you’re personally involved in is usually 1 too many. Seeing near misses doesn’t help.

The economy is similar - unnecessary stuff is still accessible, but major necessities (food, housing) are worse than ever.

Trends are what influence perception - and rightly so. We’re the most technically advanced we’ve ever been and we’re regressing on the important things. Negative public reaction is (unfortunately) necessary to continue our overall positive trend.

It’s not difficult just messy add extra time for cleanup. It’s also generally not a good use of time, fresh pasta can be bought at the farmers market or organic grocery store for 3-6$ and tastes the same so it are paying yourself 12$ an hour to make this. It’s fun once but generally not worth doing

What's "not-cheap-ass"? The standard "developer spec" type laptops from Dell etc. seem to still come with 1080p screens despite costing upwards of 1k credits. If you search for 27" monitor on Amazon you'll find 1080p models coming up, maybe some QHD ones. I can't imagine many offices kitting out with 4K monitors unless they actually need them.
You can never remove all incentives for crime. There will always be some incentive to try to cheat the system or otherwise defect in societal coordination problems.

You are right that power concentration must be avoided though, as that creates much stronger incentives for corruption. More distributed power structures make bribery much more expensive and logistically difficult.

> slowed me down and distracted me from actually writing

It's a bit of a matter of perspective.

The distinction between looking at a document in markdown versus Word is a bit analogous to the distinction between looking at a movie in its textual form as a screenplay versus looking at a movie as a piece of video: Text is capable of abstraction in a way that video is not.

In the screenplay, it might say "table", but when the director translates it to video, the director will have to decide: What kind of table? What design? What period? What texture? Is there anything on the table?

None of these decisions matter to the construction of the story, so, for a screenwriter, it would be very distracting if they had to make all of those decisions just to be able to get "table" committed to the medium.

In Markdown you worry about text and nothing but text. But Word shoves a particular font in your face as soon as you're laying down the first letter, so, if you don't like Word's choice of fonts, you can either let it annoy you throughout the project, or you can start worrying about fonts right then and there, which will be a distraction. If you write Markdown in a code editor, then, presumably, you've already set up the code editor in a way that doesn't annoy you. And then your future self (or someone else entirely) can worry about the font.

It feels pretty good to me, locally, but to the extent Americans don't feel that way, the months of reporting on nightmare inflation followed by months of reporting on the "100% certain impending recession" now followed by more scare pieces on grocery and fast food prices even as inflation rapidly declines hasn't helped.

I'm personally seeing grocery prices actually come back down to pre-pandemic levels for some items as stores and manufacturers realize they milked the "record inflation" story too much. There were some supply constraints, but once the "inflation" story took off, lots of places raised prices way too much, thinking they could just blame inflation. But when they do it so fast that even folks in the top 10% of income start becoming price-conscious and bargain hunting, they've gone too far.

For anyone looking for a nostalgic, but honest, revisit, check out "Farscape(1999) Retrospective/Review" on YouTube[1]. It is comprehensive and I think picks out the strengths and weaknesses of the show very honestly as a fan. My personal belief is that the show peaked in Season 2 (the heist arc is pretty epic) and then started going downhill after Crichton split, and the introduction of some legitimately annoying crew, but they regained some glory with the Peacekeeper Wars mini-series/movie. The chemistry between the two leads (Ben Browder and Claudia Black) was always a particular strength of the show. Highly recommended but, like with so many series (The Walking Dead, GOT, etc) if you skip the last season(s) you'll be fine.

I find that question uninteresting, because no matter where the fault lies (it's probably somewhere in the middle) the end consequence is that there is no use case where it makes sense for me to use Word (unless I'm literally held at gunpoint).

I'm either working on a document for myself or with collaborators.

In the first case I'll use markdown for simple things or LaTeX for bigger things since I can work in a familiar environment where I work most efficiently (VSCode).

In the second case, I'll work with collaborators so I will never be able to trust that a document I have sent off for reading is still consistently formatted when I receive it back. This means that any benefits of the collaboration tools (eg. review history or suggesting changes) are wiped off the table. I will have to integrate any suggested changes into my own authoritative version of the document by hand anyways. At that point I may as well work where I fell comfortable and use markdown / latex, and send off Pandoc converted word files for comments by others when it is relevant.

This is of course for serious pieces of writing, not throwaway stuff like eg. meeting notes, but for those Google docs is plenty.
I don't see why. Consider the enlightenment, the rise of science subordinating religion, the fact that humans who have attended school are smarter on average than those who have not, the theory that you scolding people for violating the rules improves behavior, etc.

It certainly isn't physically impossible, but I acknowledge that it may be metaphysically impossible.

On the other hand, I have to imagine that to some extent YouTube is making maintaining their apps across multiple platforms harder than it has to be.

The app is almost entirely made up of tableviews/collection views/recycler views, save for the video player… really not rocket science. If YouTube’s public API were more capable I’m positive that third party devs would have no issue maintaining their YouTube apps across N platforms simply because they wouldn’t be overcomplicating them like Google is theirs.
Unfortunately, the perfect is very much the enemy of the good here. Aside from HTML, I'm afraid that PDF and EPUB are very much driven by purpose-built tools designed to show interactively what it will look like as output. This means that they've both delved into a depth of subtle semantic differences that makes flawless output an extremely difficult task. Of course, practically, pandoc can resolve the vast majority of what people actually use, but everything will still be hit by edge cases from time to time, leading to subtle issues or incompatibilities between EPUB, PDF, and HTML. Each edge case can, of course, be solved in isolation, so finding something that's solved the ones you are encountering already is the ideal, providing a seamless experience for your work. Sadly, each of those is built to solve someone else's specific work, and so sometimes we just have to accept that we either need to compromise on something, we need to paper over the gaps by combining the right tools, or we have to write something ourselves. Fortunately, it isn't the 80s anymore, so many of the tools we have are the "right" ones, and pandoc is very good at combining them.

Again, I find that Markdown (with inline LaTeX or HTML) seems to be Pandoc's preferred starting point, and that the HTML backends are quite useful (particularly when not needing full LaTeX), so perhaps there's some luck to be had there, since HTML may preserve Org's linking and such a bit better, though I don't use Org myself so can't attest to it. And if there's really a problem, then perhaps Pandoc needs some help sorting Org-mode out!

Certainly all-spending, all-the time isn't what one necessarily should do, as an already working economy should be left to its own devices so that government spending and fiscal room is around as a form of 'dry powder' to have when the private sector (inevitably) has a downturn.

I'm a 4th year Computing and Information Technology student at RIT, looking for a summer job / internship before I head in to my final semester. Ideally looking to explore DevOps as I've had a ton of fun running containers at home for the past 5 years, and I'm currently taking RIT's first ever DevOps course. I am also open to build on my prior experiences in systems administration, or try web development which I've been highly successful with at school.
They probably realize it is hopeless to try to lock motivated kids out of their devices. And it might be a nostalgic memory for them, maybe they aren’t too motivated to implement this stuff. Most of us had full control of our devices growing up, right?
“The most similar existing status is usually used by tourists, does not allow work and allows a maximum stay of just 90 days”

I don’t think that’s correct. A tourist visa doesn’t allow you to work locally but they do not limit working remotely for an overseas company. For example, if you’re on vacation in Japan from the US and an emergency happens at work, you can join a call without risk of deportation.
oh wow, i thought there were just a couple hundred! I wonder where i got that idea from.
The people who gain are the ones willing to change jobs; which is primarily the top and bottom 10%. Those two demographics are the ones experiencing wage gains that have outplaced inflation. The middle class who feel loyalty to their employers (like me) are the ones who aren't getting raises in line with inflation.

I was using the parental control, however I have stopped using it.

In the end it is surrogate of a parent. Either you care about your child and you know what it is doing, or not.

If you think that your child would be vunlerable to anything in the web, then most likely you should not give the phone to your kid.

If the kid is old enough to understand things, then it does not require software parental control, but a parent. A good parent does not need parental control in apps of their children.

Parental controls also disables ability to install apps from other sources and I prefer fdroid apps from play store apps.

The last thing is that it teaches that we are controlled by some software company, and 'kept safe from harm'. It gives that illusion. It trains that illusion. It enforces it.

Put heat shrink on first. Then make a lineman's splice. If appropriate (solder can cause a stress riser in some cases making vibration problematic) solder. Then slide the heat shrink tube up & shrink it.

Alternatively, use self-vulcanizing silicone tape instead of heat shrink. That stuff doesn't need to be put on first, and doesn't need a heat gun, but is harder to apply on small wires due to the need to stretch it as it's applied.

Don't use the shitty metal alligator grippers you get on "helping hands", they're terrible even when not heating the wire much. A small smooth-jawed vice or two is far better for small work, e.g. a PanaVise model 201.
I just contacted my lawyers. Turns out brazilian authorities suspended the import and sale of many Philips CPAP machines about 8 months ago. They'll help me get my money back.

No, I think you are absolutely onto something -- as you describe it, it is trivial to transform from N -> 2N districts in a manner which makes it impossible to combine them back 2N -> N in any other way than the original map.

Maybe I'm missing something too. That seems like a pretty big deficiency.
I think it depends on the nature of the idea. Some are so original that just the idea independent of the execution are worthy of note (famous conjectures in mathematics come to mind).

Some seem so obvious that it seems likely that many people dreamt of them at the same time. Hard to tell in this case.

>Some entertainment being necessary, I feel the vast majority of people do it too much.

Certainly but what I really wanted to highlight was passive entertainment versus non-passive entertainment where gaming has shown to potentially have cognitive benefits [0]. Though I highly doubt all games are equal when it comes to this and I'm sure some are even destructive in how they abuse people's reward systems.

Games like Turing Complete can even teach about how computers work from a transistor level.

It's not surprising that housing is the main exception: high interest rates make housing more expensive. Demand for housing is relatively fixed (roughly proportional to the number of people) so unlike most other goods higher interest rates don't affect demand as strongly.

Out of curiosity did you notice who the voice actor for Pilot was? When it was pointed out to me, I had a 'no way' type of reaction. It goes to show that some people really know how to give a performance that goes beyond who they are as a person and results in giving a spark of life to the character itself.
I don't know why anyone would name their project "slint" (or its previous name "60fps" which made no sense).

I also don't know why anyone would want a bulky DSL to declare a GUI. Declaring a GUI is the easy part. It's attributes and data that mostly don't need to be changed by the user. Just call C++ functions to get the data into the library.

When DSLs start to come in to play you have an entire secondary language to worry about. Everything from parsing to type conversions to character sets to byte codes is suddenly a potential problem and it doesn't need to be because it doesn't solve anything difficult in the first place.
