It wasn’t inconvenient because you could get a day’s worth of charge, from dead battery, in about ten minutes and it lasted many days between full charges. I used one for several months and never once was it any amount of problem or inconvenience. Time lost because I couldn’t use the mouse when I needed to was zero.

Meanwhile, I probably would have left it plugged in all the time if not for that, out of battery-anxiety from using crappy rechargeable accessories that charge slowly and discharge fast.

I didn’t need to be willing to inconvenience myself because it was never inconvenient.

> No, it really doesn’t. Saying “4pm at the coffee shop” means that, and this is a big distinction.

Some words and phrases, such as "4 pm local time", require some of their semantic meaning to be inferred from context. This doesn't mean that they are meaningless. It means that the relevant context must be provided in order to interpret the phrase. If you and I have been scheduling the coffee shop meetup, then the phrases "4pm", "4pm local time", and "4pm as measured by the applicable standards in the area of the coffee shop on the day of the meeting" are all equivalent.

> Just specify the actual timezone!

This is the problem that I pointed out. The appropriate context for "4pm local time" is "at the coffee shop". However, most calendar programs will only let you provide context such as "Eastern Standard Time". This is the wrong context altogether, and choosing it assumes that the area will have extended the duration of DST between time of scheduling and time of meeting.
I deeply 100% disagree with you - if you want to show google something else that is a spam tactic that only ends in bad outcomes. If your content is good enough to pay for its good enough to hide from everyone.

A search based on the results being something otherwise than the contents of the search is misleading, a spam tactic, and bad.
> The core problem we face is overproduction. Vastly more can be produced than can be consumed.

Varoufakis agrees overproduction is a problem and alludes to it in many places. The Global Minotaur - "Profit can only be envisaged if the level of overall future demand is strong. Unfortunately, the future is unknowable. The only thing business folk know for sure is demand is never strong for long..."
yes, because google is only using that article to decide what searches should link to it

They could, but I'd be surprised if they do.

Firstly, we can see that they're using the email exactly as provided (for sending, at least), else filters on the mail we receive wouldn't work.

Secondly, the + trick works because it's valid in email addresses under RFC 5321 and RFC 5322 - the fact that Gmail (and others?) direct all addresses of the format 'foo+bar@gmail.com' to the mailbox of 'foo@gmail.com' is a quirk, not a given. Anyone wanting to trim '+bar' would have to know it's safe to do so for particular providers, and I doubt anyone wants to maintain that list and do extra backend work just in case they want to share on the sly.

Yeah alpha masking is inefficient under Nanite, but as they explain further down its handling of dense geometry is good enough that they were able to get away with not using masked materials for the foliage in Fortnite.

I think it's also worth pointing out that the US doesn't have VAT. In Europe, VAT tax averages over 21%. And this increases even further if you have locally imposed taxes. This substantially impacts purchase price.

In the USA, all sales taxes on your item added together are usually just a few percent. (Higher in expensive cities though)

I remember the time when the Nevada Gigafactory was really hyped up. It was supposed to dwarf even the largest Amazon Distribution Center and the plans were expand it to where you could see its octagonal shape from outer space. It was to be in the size of hundreds of football fields. Planes and drones flown by fanboys hovered over the site and posted weekly updates on how magnificent the progress was, like we were watching a modern-day pyramid endeavor. Of course, it was just another Musk distortion field. Today it’s only at 30% of the fantastical plans. The stock went up though.

hmm. Interesting. So, most likely, "stable" software will likely release with a major version somewhere in the hundreds instead of 1.0? Since initial development usually means lots of breaking changes while details are discovered/built, I can't see 1.0 having any useful meaning.
> As a consequence, the sales tax rules are extremely local and the combination of all separate tax authorities that have jurisdiction over a specific retail location. While it might be nice if the sales tax was built into the price, it is a continuously moving target and therefore is simpler to compute on demand rather than physically repricing things on the shelves.

In the article it says that the airline accused him of asking for a free flight but the airline has posted no evidence whatsoever that he has asked for this. In all likelihood the airline is lying.

Furthermore the rest of your comment is oddly deferential to these airline companies. One should be able to post a negative review of any corporation’s product or service. You shouldn’t have to worry about retaliation for doing this. A negative review could be in the form of a written review or a YouTube review.

Also the article talks about how this same person was banned by Qatar Airways after he posted a negative review of them.

I’m shocked you say “fuck around and find out” in response to all this in your comment. How the heck is posting a negative review of a corporation’s service considered “fuck around”? How is retaliation by the corporations part of “find out”?

Absurd

Not the author of this paper but am current PhD student focused on viroid discovery. There's no TEM but there are good methods such as RNAfold [0] for predicting their structures. In the case of rod-shaped RNAs, the prediction methods are quite good since it basically comes down to looking for substrings of reverse complement sequences within the circular RNA.

For the real buttons. I do that too, solely because I also use that mouse for gaming. Apple mouse would be better otherwise, but I don’t want two mice.

Or sometimes people find a larger shape more ergonomic. Depends on the person and how they mouse, I think.

I had one of the wireless Apple mice at work for a while and it was a really good mouse. The “dumb” port (I agreed with this assessment before using one!) was never, ever any problem at all. At home, I use Logitech, because I also game with it and am willing to compromise a (very) little on its suitability for work to not have multiple mice.
After knowing that Spotify does provide with our streaming data, I couldn't wait to get my hands on my streaming data and get some insights, so I did. Here are the things that I found out about myself and why I think everyone should try too.
Right. But if you make the notation slightly more explicit, then the integral of L(data, params) over data is 1. This follows from the independence assumption.

So we ARE working with a probability function. Its output can be interpreted as probabilities. It's just that we're maximizing L = P(events | params) with respect to params.

The etymology of the word "gaul" is fascinating.

It's an exonym, i.e. it's not how the celts living in Gaul would call themselves.

There are two origins of the word that are likely to cave coexisted in a "convergent etymology"

1. The name of an ancient Celtic tribe (one of many) sounded like "galatai" to ancient Greeks and it sounded about right because of the the white skin (either fair skin or white paint). So in this case it ultimately stems from a Celtic word.

2. The old Germanic word "walhaz" meant something like "foreign" or "Roman". That originated many names for former roman territories when Germanic people encountered them. (Similar word for Slavic). That left a lot of names like "Wales/welch", "Wallachia", "vlachi". This word went through a sound change when adopted in romance languages similar to how other words like "werra" - > "g(u)err(a|e)", "Ward" - "g(u)ard" ...

The regular sound changes in languages betray the coexistence of these two etymologies at different times and phases of the Evolution of the romance languages and french in particular.

The latin "g" sound evolved into "j" (gamba -> jambe) so one our think that if the word "Gallia" was available from the latin substrate it would have transformed into "Jallia" and in fact it was! As attested by place names like La Jaille-Yvon and Saint-Mars-la-Jaille.

This reveals how the modern french name "gaule" likely stems from the second etymology (the German origin).

That said, languages are rarely let evolve naturally. There is plenty of people who studied languages and kept latin alive for centuries and it's also quite possible that the version with the "g" sound has been also kept reinforced because of the relationship with the classic texts (Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres)

I'm shopping for an IDE with Vim keybindings, but this doesn't seem to be it yet. Points for having Vim-like support out of the box, but most of what I tried failed, including:

- Exiting insertion mode with ctrl+c or ctrl+[

- Shift+U to undo all changes done to the current line

- `di[` to delete the contents inside the current [

- `dta` to delete everything until the next `a`

- Shift+[ and shift+] to jump paragraphs

- Shift+D to remove everything until the end of the line

- `.` to repeat the last action

It's a good start, and I'll definitely check it again in the future, but I'd hold on advertising "Vim-like" editing until the support gets better.

The rest of the editor is awesome, no complaints so far.

Linear models are a linear combination of possibly non-linear regressors. The linearity is strictly in the parameters, not in whatever you're adding up.

A neural network can be pedantically referred to as a linear model of the form y = a + b*neural_network, for example. Here, y is a linear model (even though neural_network isn't).
Love it out of the gate.
Ok, but that’s just a bad film…
Thank you for answering, I understand the dilemma now and why you chose to force users to explicitly convert to UTC.

When I see the example my thinking is: Well, if you want a time offset relative to Europe/Paris then define your time zone that way instead. Of course I haven't seen other libraries give that option and maybe for good reasons.

Welp. That's suckless for ya.

In a 1000 line, minimalist presentation tool, there is logic devoted to screwing up the output if it doesn't conform to some guy's opinion of what a slide should look like.

I would say that sucks more, rather than less, than the same tool without the bad attitude. But then it wouldn't be suckless.
I think PG's comments towards Sam (at least since Sam left YC) are not really complements, when you read between the lines... King of the cannibals? What do you have to be willing to do to take that crown?

But yes, knowing some CEOs, I'd say there are rare (at the population level) traits that predispose you to success in that role.

An ability to sell a vision, which can become pathological detachment from reality long before this trait becomes detrimental to your ability to fundraise for a startup.

An ability to focus on the mission and not get bogged down in details, which can become pathological sociopathy/psychopathy long before this trait becomes detrimental to the company.

Gift of the gab / eloquence is very helpful.

A willingness to sacrifice a lot to achieve one's goals, which is usually detrimental to any kind of life outside of the business.

Basically, CEOs are weirdos, the job is way harder than non-founders will ever know, and it definitely has selection pressures and feedback loops that can concentrate some extremely toxic traits if you're not careful. Most people don't want to be CEOs if they understand what it actually means, and most people wouldn't want to self-modify their personality to make them a lot more CEO-like.
Sounds like your org is bad at basic arithmetic. 12230s = 12 minutes per day minimum. Assuming an engineering salary at perhaps 100k usd /year, that is about 40,7 usd per hour, they would save money by giving you a max specced frame.work(2500$) after 307 days (maximum). Assuming you do this more than “2 dozen” times per day, as you say “all day long”, at minimum they would make that money back in 7.7 days. The same numbers for a max specced MacBook Pro (at 7200 usd) is 22.1 to 884,5 days.

I get mad at this attitude from some companies. It’s like telling a carpenter that they have to build a house, but are not allowed power tools. It makes no sense.

Edit: typo
It makes me sad that you had to explain it. :(
I think the more interesting part here is you alleging a coverup of Apple supplying a review unit. Why?

I think most YouTube channels actually brag when Apple sends them review units. It’s a sign they’ve made it — their channel is influential enough to have been noticed by Apple. Most channels are happy to let their followers in on that.

My guess for what you’re noticing is that there’s also a (in my opinion kinda gross) trend of influencer types buying expensive kit, doing their review, and then returning within the window. In this case, it doesn’t surprise me that someone would spec out a unit well beyond their needs or means, because they don’t intend to actually pay for it.
Yes, the files themselves open quite quickly, but I will admit that it's a complicated diff (lots of expected differences), and VSCode is not primarily a diff tool.

I was obsessed with topographic maps as a kid—had the paper maps for most of the counties in my corner of my state. Led to an interest in geography, and is the reason my usernames on most platforms have been my name+geo for the last two decades. You could buy the quadrant maps at various general stores in my area, and bought a few of the larger county maps at the PA farm show. Those maps were huge—the size of a large rug, but incredibly detailed (showed individual houses outside of urban areas). At the time I was collecting them, the last survey had been done in the 1980s, and it was interesting seeing the in-progress highways marked that were at that time completely built. Looks like there was a gap in the surveys between 1984 and 2010 according to https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/, but now have been updated every ~3 years.

It sounds like you are actually in a really good place to understand the science of graphic design. It is unfortunate the author used the term "beauty", because it make non-visual people assume something. The word is loaded, so skews how you think about the subject. But this is also how graphic design works. The visual look of your slide deck can skew how your audience perceives your content. Humans are extremely susceptible to this, so knowing a little bit can have massive benefits. The article does seem to cover the basics pretty well, which is only the tip of the iceberg.

> unsafe Rust is still safer than raw assembly

I don't think I would go that far. Assembly doesn't have undefined behavior, and especially not with the strict constraints around references as in Rust. The safe/unsafe dichotomy in Rust is better than only using C or C++ when there are concise, robust encapsulations around broken invariants.

I have a sneaking feeling that the people who use only their keyboards to navigate are the ones who really notice latency in e.g. VSCode.

I navigate with the trackpad on a Mac and seem not to ever feel it, but I know others do not like this way of working, which is fair enough.

Lapce is interesting to me for other reasons: it is one of the few[0] GUI text editors with a remote dev option that matches what VSCode can do. And it might have a smaller footprint on the remote machine/in the container while doing it.

VSC’s remote dev support is very nearly non-negotiable for me now, so I say more power to them; I intend to try it again properly soon.
