I guess all of the potential applications take the form of spreadsheet or ETL number crunching.

A lot of those go undone because of the costs, or live with wrong results because they are only viable in binary.

Some database queries are also CPU bound, and those are overwhelmingly about decimal numbers.
But but... this will raise development costs.

I thought we're all supposed to program for "the browser" (in reality Chrome) to reduce development costs.

Usually I challenge people when they call a court stacked or activist, because it’s just so rarely true: this is as close as you’ll (hopefully) see to a 1-bit high court.

It’s the masterpiece, the magnum opus of the Magnus of parliamentary politics. Nicollo Machiavelli doesn’t have shit on Mitch McConnell at that chess game.

I’m pretty indifferent to which color bumper-sticker late capitalism is sporting when it pushes the newest round of formerly “looking forward to better” working people below the waterline, it’s not a partisan thing.

The other team have plenty who match Mitch on evilness, but zero on skill.
Yeah part of me feels like the solution would be that ticket prices go up and these programs are eliminated. Which would lead to a similar outcome. Wealthier people would freely be able to go to ski resorts as regularly as they want while the less privileged would have to choose between a weekend on the slopes or paying their electric bill.

But it'd reduce the lines because less people would be there and, ultimately, it'd be equal for everyone. So I'm really not sure.

Quick question, without looking it up what order of magnitude of unarmed people do you think the US police kill each year? 10s? 100s? 1,000s? 10,000s?

Per WaPo's police shooting database[1], there were 51 last year (going up to 71 if you include unknown, 173 including unknown and undetermined). Filter down to people who were not fleeing or having a mental health crisis and you get 8 (26 including unknown and undetermined). While that still represents a problem in the use of force by cops, to say nothing of the idea that carrying a weapon (which is legal in much of the US) means that your death at the hands of the police is acceptable, killings of unarmed people seem far from routine. I don't think you have any reason to believe you will be killed by the police for not giving them your ID.

This stuff is great. I have Clear, TSA Pre, Global Entry and it's fantastic. You can lose the TTP privileges easily, though. Someone I know lost their GE and their sister couldn't get approved for GE soon after their uncle (who is not a US Citizen) overstayed his visa and was deported. Multiple million net worth, but no GE (which is fine since in SF Mobile Passport is faster at the moment). Even years afterwards, they never get past Conditional Approval. They have spotless personal records.

There are trade-offs here with the TTP and it makes perfect sense to have for people who can make those trade-offs. Ideally, most of life is like this with segmentation appropriate to the setting.

If it's a big thing for people to be about data privacy and stuff like that then don't do this stuff. It is perfectly reasonable for those of us who have differing views on this to trade up for convenience. Sure I need to go through a background check and then through this process and every time I change an address I need to explain myself. You don't have to. You don't want to. So don't. Just let me do it.

kemonomimi is essentially sticking animal parts onto a human, so it may as well be part-furry.

it's not fully furry, but I'd be inclined to agree with the term "anime furry" if "anime" is being used as shorthand for "anime girl", I suppose.
I used a Light Phone II for a few years, which is essentially an expensive e-ink dumbphone (it runs Android under the hood, but you can't actually run any apps outside of some minimal built-in ones for stuff like directions and music).

My main gripe was that I like to listen to music and podcasts while I walk, and the LP2's apps for that are rather lackluster (nearly to the point of unusability for me). It drove me back to my smartphone a few times (a OnePlus something-or-other), which would usually last a few weeks before I'd go back to the LP2 again because the smartphone was too distracting (like I'd pop open a web browser to look up an actor while watching a movie, then getting sucked down a rabbit hole and missing the whole movie before I realized it was happening).

I'm trying a new experiment now--I've got a smartphone again but it's a super tiny one (a Jelly Star which has a 3 inch screen). It's very annoying to actually use for typing or reading because it's so small. It's only been a month or so, but so far I'm finding it's a very nice compromise. I can listen to all my podcasts and music using my normal Android apps, and I can fire up a web browser in a pinch, but it doesn't suck up my attention because it's so uncomfortable to use for any period of time.

>I don't see why certain business terms shouldn't be able to be regulated in the interest of the general public.

Implying that there is a legitimate public interest in equal-cost access to rides at disneyland does not seem like a defensible position.

That's a bit like saying it is against the interest of the public to charge more prime orchestra seats than second tier balcony seats at the opera.

My position is that if Disney wants to charge ten trillion dollars to skip the line to ride a rollecoaster and one cent for a rollercoaster ride with a 40-year waiting period, that's none of my concern.
Updates. No guarantee that you will get the next OS update even on a brand new phone. Which stinks when financial apps require you be on the latest OS.

If you didn't have an actual heat source in your bathroom, it'd almost certainly freeze when it's <20F out. I'd also imagine that most of the mini-splits you see around the Boston area are for cooling and probably aren't designed for heating in the winter (most HVAC companies tend to spec the cheapest of the cheap condensers for the outside unless you are specific about heating). I actually have a Trane/Mitsubishi ductless mini split and it struggles when it's cold out (eg 30's) and will use AUX (resistive) heat (it's in a garage and is for cooling in the summer!).
I think you are thinking about this way too much. The mean profit per flight is about $500. This number tells you nothing about whether a particular half empty flight is profitable or not. Literally every flight except one could be empty and you could still end up at a mean value of $500 if that one remaining flight is profitable enough.
There's a VERY good reason why JS runtimes use JIT's, it's more or less impossible to properly fully type a JS program w/o leaving runtime holes.

If you restrict yourself to a subset or are willing to risk incompatiblities then it will work.

There's some TypeScript to Wasm compilers that should work reasonably well (If you're breaking TS rules you've got yourself to blame a bit more than with JS).

I never claimed we had a personal interaction, I only claimed you interacted with me, a person. I define it the same way any dictionary defines it: you acted and it has an effect on me.

I agree that personal interactions are hard to come by online, but this is different to interacting with people at a surface level online.
I never said I never interact with people, but it's definitely much, much less than I interact with data and really, it's incidental and not the point of me and the tech.

> Most people don't buy pasta when rice is expensive.

They would if rice prices went through the roof, which they won't because people who sell rice are not stupid.

Econ 101 certainly explains why you can actually buy gluten free products now (supply for demand) and why gluten free products are usually more expensive (niche market).

My ECON 101 prof talked about the limitations of models and theories based on assumption of rational actors in the 1980s ... I have no idea why everyone thinks this is a gotcha.

> Agile done right is like this.

That doesn't sound like Agile, at least not the Manifesto one. Agile is pretty clear that there are no managers. It, ultimately, offers suggestions of what you need to think about if you are to move to an ad-hoc organization structure. For instance, per the 12 Principles, "Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project." There is no room for a manager in that. There is no independent "keeping the runway clear" or "coming up with ideas behind the scenes". That's the work developers and business people are doing – why they are working together.

Here's a few more:

* "Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale." – Translation: Without a manager keeping tabs on everyone's progress, the easiest way for the team to stay on top of progress is to see it.

* "Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done." – Translation: Don't accept people into your group who need someone (i.e. a manager) to hold their hand.

* "The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation." – Translation: There is no manager ensuring everyone is aligned and on the same page.

* "The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams." – Translation: With no manager to organize the group, you need to figure out who is going to do what on your own.

* "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly." – Translation: You don't have a manager watching over to see where improvement can be made. Figure it out for yourselves.

Whether or not Agile is suitable for your organization, or any organization!, is another matter. Indeed, one should not accept Agile into their life just because it has a catchy name. Probably not at all. One must remember that the Agile signatories live in a different reality to most developers.

> If you hate the idea of a meeting like this it's possible your managers suck and don't listen to you.

Whether or not they are listening, I'm not sure what I would want to tell them? What I do know from many, many years of experience is that when you have a good manager, you won't even know they exist. A manager who needs to gather the group around the campfire each day is decidedly not a good manager. Heck, even most staunch standup supporters will tell you that managers shouldn't be invited to the standup as it easily becomes a crutch for bad management.

Sudo also allows you to control which commands can be elevated to admin.

It also lets you elevate to admin without knowing the admin password, you elevate with your normal account password. Effectively, some commands can execute as admin, but the user generally cannot.

So you can allow limited administration without giving everything away.

Not quite.

I have 2 accounts that anyone could argue are social media and this is one of them. The other is so specialized that I'm fairly sure no one here uses it and I mainly use it for reference. An account was needed to search. Since I have an account, I will occasionally provide an answer to someone that has a question that I've had in the past, but even that's rare.

Otherwise, I use Teams at work, but that's not social media.
I already thought violence occurred before seeing that video. I even thought the shooting of Babbitt was justified - a trespasser ignoring warnings and directions to leave can generally be assumed to be a threat.

What I was responding to is the frequent, deceitful, and hypocritical characterization of the riot as "deadly".

Correcting willful lies about something, correcting its severity downwards, is not equivalent to saying it was good or peaceful. But it's a common tactic of people trying to demonize something - any claim of "it wasn't that bad" is met with "oh so you think it was good??" It's a basic false binary.

To answer your question, no, it's not fun. But when minimizing stuff brings it closer to the truth, it is necessary.

Oh how surprising, a school of tough love post. These people own the world, and we all have to merely accept & live in it as they permit us. Very nice.

This kind of shit creates enormous class tension. These luxuries have become enormously harder to afford & make happen. Now, you go do some hard earned family time thing & a bunch of rich folks are constantly skipping in front of you? It's degrading & insulting in principle, and in practice it greatly diminished the time one gets to spend doing the activity.

It's unlikely many companies will suffer much for these policies. Indeed their bottom line will probably soar, as they de-democratize access and step away from a 1 person 1 vote operational pattern & walk further down that pay to play world.

But it's gross & disgusting & going to breed enormous class hatred or despair. It's an indignity. As for the "Don't like it? don't use it" tough love, well, the number of ski resorts not owned by Vail keeps shrinking. The number of Disney World alikes is pretty limited. We have to share this planet, and telling the not-wealthy to shut up & like what they get is a disastrous plan, is abnegation of humankind.

Ultra-wealthy & their dollar-based optimizations should not be the only thing with a hand on the wheel of this planet. (And it wouldn't kill the libertarian neofuedalists to pretend like they even a little bit of compassion buried down somewhere).
Regarding voting for the TSA: Remember the median number of flights taken by an American in a year is zero.

The majority of voters have no incentive to make the TSA experience not suck. Their only stake is the self-satisfaction of increasing safety, however theatery it might be.
