My initial idea for a name was "logd" but a few projects on github already take that name. Adding "y" doesn't change the pronunciation IMO so you can say "logdy" same as "logd"

No, they don't.

When the doctor's office can't get a hold of you, now you're looking at 6 months longer until you get to see the specialist you've been waiting for.

When probation can't get a hold of you, now you're looking at an unannounced visit, violation, and/or arrest warrant. This happened DAILY when ankle monitors suddenly malfunctioned and communicated that they'd been cut off or that I was violating home confinement by leaving unannounced.

You'd think that, but tell that to my university who says "call us as soon as you get this message" and nothing else. You're right in that it never is really that important, but that's true in the same sense that most calls aren't important. Either way, I don't end up knowing but if I responded I'd spend less time dealing with whatever it is. (Good god, can people just leave proper fucking messages? Say why you called! And don't get me started with texts or slack messages that are like "hey" or "we need to talk" and nothing else... types "hey" in slack. Asked what they want. Refuses to elaborate. Asks to huddle. Wants to know if there are cookies in the break room)
It's possible that it sounds even worse in other languages. That is, it might sound like bad words, onomatopoeia for bodily functions, or common exclamations (that would lead to lots of false positives).

I think it could have been established as a brand in the US, given Google's scale. Put a lute in the branding, run some funny commercials, and you're done.

EDIT: one thing no amount of branding can fix — the likelihood that people reach for "doh, Bard" (a la Simpsons) when Bard messes up. I could see that becoming a thing.
At SFO half the time the Clear + TSA-pre is slower than the standard TSA-pre anyway.
Yup, same. I'll make an exception if I'm expecting an important call but aren't sure of what number it's going to come from. This is rare enough that it doesn't bother me much. And now that some calls are SHAKEN/STIR-verified, with a caller ID, I can often have good confidence before I pick up that it's actually the call I'm waiting for.
This is a specific example of what should be a much more general practice: having separate protocols for establishing an initial contact and establishing a communications session with an already existing contact. My email spam filter is based on this. It does a first-stage separation between email from people I've corresponded with in the past and everything else. That simple heuristic is enough to achieve >99% accuracy all by itself.
I'm not actually sure how to do that on Spotify. But for albums I like, especially lesser-known artists making music of various kinds (I tend to lean heavily towards electronic music broadly described as "experimental"), I generally just buy them on Bandcamp and put a copy on my NAS.

This... might be a bad idea.

Unfortunately there are some perverts who would love to use it for the inverse reason.
For a forced hot water system, with a heat pump you can get maybe 120F water out of it, but the design guidelines for baseboard (and rad[iator]s) typically are based on 185F input water. So for example a if a room has a heat loss of 10K BTU/hr, and your baseboard puts out 600 BTU/hr at 185F, then you need 16'8" of baseboard. If the input water is only 120F, then you might now need ~24' baseboard to get the 10K BTU/hr (or twice as many rads).

Of course this is all dependent on your home's specific heat loss calculation that's based on a ton of variables including location and construction methods, rooms above below, # of windows/doors etc. So in DFW, you won't need as much as in Concord NH. The (winter, 99%ile) ASHREA design temp for Concord NH is about 2F, but for DFW it's 27.5F, so the 10K BTUs for NH might only need to be 6K BTUs for DFW.

So a heat pump based forced hot water system might work well for you in DFW, but not me in NH because I don't have enough wall space for all of the baseboard needed at 120F -- I'd be better off with radiant heat with a heat pump because there you mix the hot water with the return to keep it (the water) no more than 100F or it'll either crack the concrete, or be uncomfortable to walk on. Also up here we typically have multi-story homes and also need basements because the frost line is 4-5' below grade, so radiant slabs are harder to build/install on a "joisted" floor than a slab-on-grade ranch home.

If I was building from scratch (in NH), it'd be a ground source heat pump with forced air system with radiant in the basement slab and a 2-zone high efficiency (propane/oil) boiler (unless Natural Gas, but that's rare in NH) with a super-stor type storage tank and hydronic loop off the boiler as AUX heat. There's a pretty good chance in NH you already have a suitable artesian well for the GSHP (just needs a variable speed pump).

The GSHP systems do have a "de-superheater" that can provide some hot water in the shoulder seasons so the boiler probably is only used in the winter (or if there's excessive DHW use).
A trait of an addiction is that it significantly alters the way you perceive rewards and pleasure. It's not that it's hard to find better things to do, or that the other things aren't better, it's just they're not that. It's like it lowers the brightness on the rest of life.

If you manage to stay away from it for a period of time you start to see that it was just a lie, a skewed perspective.
Ultimately, this appears to be yet another step in the direction of deep control of society over wealth and the people who have it.

Which, if you ever want to have anything of your own or be better than median in some way should concern you greatly.

Some people will not rest until you’re poorer and more miserable than them, no matter what. Even if it means hurting themselves (and everyone else) to do it.

Crabs in a bucket mentality is deeply destructive and dangerous.
A clarification: I'm saying that groups of people do not have a collective right to free speech beyond the rights of their individual members, but that doesn't mean I think we should make laws that silence groups for no reason.

For example, corporations do not have a right to post accurate information about their products on their own website, because as I said, corporations don't have rights. However, a law against corporations posting accurate information about their products on their own website would be obviously counterproductive.

You're literally responding to my post where I say this is not possible on my car. There's no orientation which doesn't leave a small blind spot. Not large enough for most cars, but definitely enough to hide a person/bike.
The -ung words also feel slightly more technical to me. When you read laws, for instance, there are quite a lot of 'ungs', more so perhaps than in colloquial writing. Maybe that is because, as you put it, "completing the action of the verb" has a more abstract meaning that referring to a specific act. In English, it feels to me like we too would (in laws, for instance) be more wont to use the '-tion' form of a verb rather than the '-ing' gerund. Perhaps also that, the longer the word, the more technical it feels in any language :)
There was a time when these practices would have been considered anti democratic. But like checks and balances those days are long gone.

I remember when the iPad was announced, and everyone said that people would only ever think of feminine products when they heard the name. It might have been true for a few months, but now it seems quaint that we ever had such concerns.
Unfortunately, your local farm raised meat might still go to that big slaughterhouse. It's expensive for small farmers to run their own on-site USDA inspected slaughterhouse. Also, the chickens you eat are still likely suffering for much of their lives even if raised on a local farm. The best thing that could happen to broiler chickens is for them to go extinct.
It's definitely one of the worst apps I've ever used in a long time. Finder is another POS.

Slow. The main "Listen Now Screen" is slow. It's an un-cached webview or something, that should be instantaneous.

The "Search area" is on the scrolling side bar on the left, and the toggle for searching between Apple Music and just your own library is on the right. It's not in the toolbar at the top where it should be and where it is on damn near every other macos app.

The lyrics can't expand to bigger, unless you switch to fullscreen mode, and then they're often unreadable because of the background colours.
I'd also argue that they aren't actually reporting the news. They are repackaging reporting someone else has already done -- and those people, doing the reporting, are usually the ones struggling economically.

The pause used to be while they routed the auto dialed call to an available agent (can’t have them waiting for the rings… efficiency!).

In this case you may be right.
FWIW, I get these, too. All unknown numbers go straight to voicemail, which auto-transcribes, so I just see "Hello... hello..." in the transcription and hit delete. No idea what it's about.
OK, that would be a pretty conclusive evidence that the moon was the primary consideration. However, it's entirely possible that the name, when it was in the news, caught his attention because of the mythological background. Cf "Lilith", the first workstation he built. "Ceres" again both has astronomical and mythological connotations — I'm not sure whether Voyager encountered Ceres, though.

Are you sure?

They list prices on their website even without a local store selected. And then picking a local store in different locations, I can't find any prices that change.

I mean, obviously there might be exceptions. And I assume local produce varies, the same way it varies in every supermarket not just by the season but by the week. Most fresh produce isn't even listed on their site, and things like fresh salads are going to be based on local produce prices. (E.g. this daily price tracker doesn't have any entries for apples of any kind, for instance.)

But I can't find any evidence of any Trader Joe's products (whether frozen or snacks or jarred or bakery) having different prices between stores. Which is what I meant -- the stuff on their website. But it's good to clarify the difference between that and fresh produce.

(I could always be wrong, but you can find it repeated all over forums that Trader Joe's prices are the same everywhere, and they are in my experience as well -- it seems to be "common knowledge".)
They look great. https://flowiseai.com/ does something similar for building AI apps specifically. Less workflow centric but worth checking out regardless.
Most of the commuters (who are able to charge at home) would only go for the EV option considering 100 miles total range fits like the vast majority of the commute distance range.

For the rest of the people, or for things like longer trips, this becomes a matter of convenience vs economics.

The overall point isn't to solve EV with a cheap car, its to kickstart a widespread adoption so that the secondary markets start producing stuff to make the cars better because it would be profitable. And the secondary markets will solve all the problems, whether it be extended range batteries, or even a hard case you install in a truck that contains a gas engine that turns your car into a hybrid.

Yes, though don't think of "traditional" JS engines as being all the way on the throughput side. One of the main distinguishing characteristics of JS engines, at least those that are used in web browsers, is that they have to care a lot about startup time and have to juggle a lot of tradeoffs that other managed runtimes typically don't need to bother with.

A surprisingly high percentage of downloaded JS code is never run at all. (I can speculate: event handlers, unshaken trees, shaken trees with paths that happen to not be taken, ...) Of the rest, the vast majority is run once or a handful of times. That means startup time is a high percentage of total time, and therefore engines will JIT very little of that code, and the little that is JITted will use a baseline JIT that pretty much just translates opcodes to unoptimized machine code. The fancy optimization engineering that requires much cleverness and effort is actually applied to a very small percentage of incoming code. It will need to run something like 1000x before it is seen worth bothering with. Latency is more important than throughput for almost all of the JS that the engine sees. (Note that throughput-sensitivity can easily dominate most of the runtime, but that varies widely depending on workload.)

So browser-embedded engines already work hard at optimizing latency. We're not talking Python or Ruby here.

That still leaves a lot of potential for improvement by stripping the engine down and prioritizing latency above all else, though. There's definitely a niche for things like LLRT. And WinterJS, too.

While being bundled made it easier to start using IE, that didn't guarantee that people would try it, and it didn't guarantee that they'd continue to use it on an ongoing basis after that.

It may not be as obvious now, but at the time, IE often offered a better experience for both users and web developers.

IE tended to be faster and stabler than its competitors, and releases like IE3 and IE5 offered a number of innovative features and technologies.

IE coming with Windows clearly didn't prevent a large number of users from switching to Firefox once Firefox started offering a better experience, and then to Chrome once it started generally offering a better experience than both Firefox and IE did.
