The issue the parent is trying to solve is you don't really have fine grained enough control, or apps nag you and won't load until you give them everything they want. My mom has a cheap camera security app that allows me to see the live streams from remote. Every single time I open the app it asks me again if I want to allow it access to my local network. The answer is a resounding "no". If I could just say "fake yes, here is my fake network", then I wouldn't be continually coerced into giving permissions to something I really don't want to share. I can think of many similar examples, another really common one is giving apps access to my contacts. Absolutely not, stop asking me, here is "Uncle Bob" with phone number 1-222-222-2222. Leave me alone
What is your certainty that that statement is true? What if it was a calculation which takes decades on a supercomputer?
> first big push for unit test popularization as being centered on Java and JUnit

Perl's and TAP came before the xUnit family. TAP quickly spread to many other languages because although we were testing in them, the idea of a standard test engine was new.

I'm using VScode and Lushay Code, with YoSys, to do Verilog coding for a Tang Nano 9K FPGA board, once I got the fact that I had to use a specific release date of YoSys due to build issues in the latest release, it all works great. I'm learing how to use the PLLs on board, and hope to build an all mode transceiver for 0-150 Mhz around it.

I'm a fan of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which allows me to have Ubuntu on tap at any time on my Windows 10 machines. I also like Virtualbox for running older systems like OS/2.

I think there's like a confusion here, where people think tech is the direct cause of many of these symptoms. In reality, I think that pervasive tech can be a cause of depression, but it's the depression itself that in turn wreaks havoc on your brain and produces the myriad other symptoms mentioned.

Not being able to concentrate, escapism (fixation on superficial things/people, buying things online, imagining some perfect life you deserve to be living), sleep/restfulness disturbance (do you stay up to all hours and then frustratingly wake up early anyway? how about get in a solid 8 hours but wake up feeling like dogshit?)

That's not tech overdose, that's depression.

Now if you're referring to cloud locks and garbage like that, well that's a risk you take if you decide you're going to use that, just like every single project on github takes the risk that Microsoft doesn't discontinue it. Or every single business that relied on CentOS was taking the risk that RedHat wouldn't discontinue it.

Lineselect is a shell utility to interactively select lines from stdin and output them to stdout. This allows you to effectively pause the pipeline to make a manual selection before the pipeline, or other composed command, continues.

Version 0.1.6 adds secondary output to file for later use in a different pipeline and as failsafe, support for page-up/-down keys, and a couple of bug fixes.

Thanks for your answer, yes, this is the case for many people I know.
The Dutch translation of GEB is excellent. I think others, e.g. the French, are also quite good/excellent, potentially because Hofstadter himself was quite involved in the translation process. Hell, much of GEB and especially his later books discuss translation extentensively, so it would be strange if there were authorized translations of GEB that were somehow lacking in quality.
Fuck Freud. He has nothing to do with today's serious psychology research.

Streaming became popular because it was easier than piracy and better than TV (watch anywhere, on demand, pickup where you left off etc).

Streaming is no longer easier than piracy, why pay for 8 different services and have to waste your time figuring out whats on what when you can just have one service for free, even if its illegal, and have it all under one roof.

The services have taken the piss and now they'll get the repercussions of it.

I took a course on Ulysses at Stanford Extension. All the students were people who wanted to be there, and I had a teacher who'd been teaching it for 50 years. You can't get a much more ideal environment than that.

This is the canonical Difficult Book. So I was hoping to have that elusive pleasure of finally cracking it. You can't call me unwilling.

Nope. I was unimpressed. I thought that stream-of-consciousness was novel at the time, but now it's routine. Showing how people's minds really work (fragmented): same thing, who cares?

Oxen of the Sun: the use of 14 or whatever different English prose styles to say the same thing: who TF cares? The teacher enthused, "He can do whatever he wants with the English language!" I thought, "Yeah, so what?"

So I don't think "difficult" is automatically bad, but it's not automatically good, either. "To what end?" is the question I'd ask.
Im surprised it’s only talking about supply demand dynamics. In my experience, the ticket selling mafia is half the cost in tickets. Recently I was looking for NFL tickets and the fees on a $280 ticket were almost 90-120 range depending on the site you used. That’s almost a 40% inflation for no reason.
I don't compile them. I just write the JavaScript and wrap it in an anonymous function then save the code as a bookmark.
I shouldn't have said "mentioned" to insinuate "mentioned in passing", you are right. But no, though it plays a central role in his argument, GEB is not about Godel's incompleteness theorem (I believe Hofstadter even says as much in the preface, and he laments that readers didn't get the overall point of the book - though I don't have my copy with me to confirm, so I might be misremembering exactly what he says).

But anyway - you and anyone else of course are free to enjoy Hofstadter's explanations of Godel's incompleteness theorem - maybe you even think that it is the best/most interesting/most fun/most insightful explanation. I just mean to say that Hofstadter isn't writing this book primarily to explain technical concepts - his explanations are a means to an end. So someone who struggles to get through this book shouldn't feel bad - its main goal was never to be a "must-read for programmers" anyway.

> Automatic gunlaying (using, among others, the SCR-584 radar) and the proximity fuze played an important part in Operation Diver, (the British operation to counter the V1 flying bombs). Both of these had been requested by AA Command and arrived in numbers, starting in June 1944, just as the guns reached their free-firing positions on the south eastern coast of England. Seventeen per cent of all flying bombs entering the coastal 'gun belt' were destroyed by guns in the first week on the coast. This rose to 60 per cent by 23 August and 74 per cent in the last week of the month, when on one extraordinary day 82 per cent were shot down. The rate increased from one V-1 for every 2,500 shells fired to one for every hundred.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-584_radar#Operational_use

> 90mm anti-aircraft guns were normally operated in groups of four, utilizing the SCR-584 microwave computer and being controlled by the M9 Director. The SCR-584 was accurate to about 0.06 degrees (1 mil) and also provided automatic tracking. Direction and range information was sent directly to the M3 Gun Data Computer, and M9 Director, which directed and laid the guns automatically. All the crews had to do was load the guns.

This is the exact problem with most mental health diagnoses - patient answers a set of 10-30 questions, nurse practitioner nods solemnly and writes prescription for controlled substance. We are in the Stone Age with mental health.
I don’t do a lot of cooking, but when my dad is cooking for a holiday meal he will almost always have his iPad out to time stuff. He has an app that shows the burners on a stove and he can set times for each one so he can keep track of what’s going on.

The stuff might not need exact timing, like with baking, but if he is prepping something else on the counter, or gets caught up in a conversation, the timers keep things from going off the rails. He has a tendency to lose track of some of that stuff without the reminders. He also keeps track of how long things take, so he can better plan in the future, as he tries to get all the stuff to finish up around the same time. When it starts getting close to dinner time there are a lot of timers going off and things seem a bit chaotic, so I think it would be easy for things to fall through the cracks.

I don’t think he cooks often, especially not for a group, so it’s not a skill he’s developed where he can just go by feel. The recipe will say something like, “simmer for 10 minutes,” so that’s what he does.
> Piracy also threatens to damage our business, as its fundamental proposition to consumers is so compelling and difficult to compete against: virtually all content for free,” Netflix writes.

People emphasize the "free" part, but it really is the "all content" part that makes piracy wins.

Especially if you are not in the USA, often specific content isn't available at any price. Even if it is, its split across 5 billion different confusing services.

The killer feature of piracy is thar it just works, not that it is free.
> "Inexperienced” is the wrong word. That suggests that what they lack is experiential knowledge. That’s incorrect.

For your hypothesis even to begin to hold water, first you would have to prove that babies are fully aware of facts such diving in freezing water can cause sudden death, drowning, or hypothermia. Only then would you be in a position to even start claiming that they are not ignorant and just have poor judgement.

I also had a similar thought, decided to implement it as a neovim plugin[1] to see what it feels like. Turned out okay! I use it daily now, but I think the important part is it's just a "mode" in an otherwise normal editor so I'm not forced to only navigate by AST nodes.

Ironically, a lot of "fabric" bags are just woven plastic, which is worse than blown film plastic in not being waterproof and also readily absorbing dirt. And for those who are scared of microplastics, they certainly shed fibers.
They aren't heavy, but they are big/bulky. You can't just stuff them in a pocket. Ironically, the "bad" plastic bags (thicker and bigger than standard US grocery bags, but still a single layer of soft plastic film) could be folded into a pocket, while the new "reusable" ones can't, making it harder to actually reuse them.

This is incorrect. There are reusable bags that fold into pocket sized. Ikea has them, among other brands. Now that you know, I'm sure you'll reevaluate your outlook on them, right?

Additionally, if you're coming back from work, you probably already have a bag to carry stuff you need for work that you can use to carry a "spur of the moment" amount of groceries or other bags. However, this sounds more like a regular occurrence you are neglecting to prepare for rather than a spur of the moment thing.

Understanding how a given CPU (+ the other computer hardware) works, does not suffice to understand what is going on when a particular program is running. For that, you need to either read the program, or an execution trace, or both, or something along these lines, which is specific to the program being run.
Streaming also had no ads which is now gated behind even more pricey plans.

As a reputable Psychologist in the field, I disagree with your statement.

I will say though that psychology/neurosciences are more in the 'mapping out the problem' stage, due to the considerable complexity of the subject, and sources of variability. There is a difference between 'its serious science' and 'I take my finding seriously'. A healthy dose of skepticism is neccessary in your own research due to sampling heterogeneity.

> The tax code could have a carve-out that says use of a private plane can't be counted as an ordinary business expense

Seems like a weird way of doing it, considering that such a change wouldn't affect paying for such flights individually. After all, it's not like a company funded jet emits more co2 than a personally funded jet. If your concern is co2 emissions, you should just tax co2 directly, not through weird carveouts.
taking back control from evil corporations is a funding/finance problem, not a technology problem. Everyone dreams of democratized ownership until they have to pay the huge developer salaries. and the go to market costs are even higher than that, all channels are saturated and you have to be louder than the noise.

That sounds like an MS-DOS problem. Some systems didn't properly detect disk changes, so if lots of buffers were configured, the system would just keep reading the same data out of memory.

Their UI sucks, they don’t want to integrate with the Apple TV app on my phone (search, Up Next, immediate access) because of competitive reasons, and they rarely have any decent movies anymore because they turned their entire business model to original serials, where “original” can mean they just bought the international distribution rights.
> They also weigh your trash (in Dublin, anyway)

They weigh country-wide. In Ireland waste collection is done by private companies and they charge by weight. As I recall, they have something like subscription plans [1]. I'm Irish but I live in New Zealand now, and here the rubbish collection is paid for by your Council rates.

I was still living in Ireland when the plastic ban was introduced. There was push-back from some companies that make plastic bags, unsurprisingly, but it worked really well.

There was a bit of push-back here in NZ too, similar to what happened in Ireland. The usual grumbling, about interfering greenies, loss of freedoms, etc.

(I've been the main designer of Starlark)

Lots of projects developed at Google use Starlark. Copybara is one of them. That's where the connection comes from.

Many other companies are also adopting Starlark for their own needs. For example, Meta has invested a lot in Starlark and published their implementation (https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2021/04/08/rust-st...), although they don't use Bazel at all.

Starlark was first created for Bazel. The organic user growth comes from people who have seen and used the language, so often Bazel users. But it doesn't have to be.
