And yet what we see progressing with the likes of Win11 and WEI is that they're working deliberately and tirelessly to make the majority of the PC landscape into appliances like phones. Perhaps someday I will be arrested for connecting to the internet with a pre-TPM machine.
So for you, not providing OS updates to old phones is supporting them?

>There seem to be a lot owned by international investors just for sitting on housing to have it appreciate.

Having previously lived overseas in an expat hotspot / money laundering hub, I'm far more skeptical that international "investors" are buying homes for capital appreciation. They are:

- Sheltering cash (legit and or ill-gotten) from their home regime

- Laundering cash... where even a capital loss doesn't really matter. A newspaper in said former country of residence loves to report on big loss making transactions. Normies chuckle that a rich a person is "losing money." The fact is that someone is just taking a loss on cash that is now completely legitimate.

Why mention this? Because viewed through the lens of a home buyer / occupier, the market participants mentioned above pay a premium which distorts the markets. Massive capital losses are no big deal when the alternative is no capital.

I only guess but maybe because in Swift they encourage you to use value types whenever possible, so you have to make a conscious decision when you are steering away from the default. This way it emphasises a particular way of reasoning about the code.

Also, it's pretty straightforward to create a reference type of a value type if you end up need it: Just create a new type that is a reference type and has the value type as a property. No?

The problem I'm imagining is that the hole you need to punch in the wall now has to be big enough to thread the plug through, not the 2mm thick fiber. This is problematic if you're dealing with external walls and need stucco/masonry drills.
The title doesn't really reflect what's accurately explained in the article: the study was solely about comparing blood pressure reduction rates in the mouthguard vs. CPAP groups, as opposed to the more common metric of whether breathing actually stopped. There was greater reduction in BP in the mouthguard group, and the hypothesis is just that participants simply wore them more when sleeping.

But the article also explicitly stated "MADs are less intrusive, but studies have shown they’re outperformed by CPAP when it comes to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the number of times airflow fully (apnea) or partially (hypopnea) stops per hour during sleep."
For you art is expression, but the interesting question is, why do you find expression meaningful? Do the stars care about your expression? No, they're busy, they're fusing hydrogen to helium. Who does care then? Well, you do. Art as expression is meaningful - tautologically - and perhaps somewhat unsatisfyingly - solely because you have assigned it meaning. But, importantly, that does create real meaning - it's the only thing that can. You give expressive art meaning, and your creation of something meaningful in turn gives you meaning.

Every choice we make ultimately comes back to what we find to be meaningful (or it follows on from something we do), and in far as life has no intrinsic meaning, that meaning is always and necessarily self-created (perhaps consciously, perhaps unconsciously by way of received wisdom that a person perpetuates by thoughts, words and deeds). "Art is without value" is not really an interesting statement, except in as far as it says that the speaker finds meaning elsewhere than art. It's a statement of preference couched in objective language.

Personally, I agree that art is expression and that that expression is meaningful, so you and I derive meaning, at least in part, from similar choices.

Did you know the Bay Area isn’t just SF?
And where, exactly, do all these bay area artists live?

The other cities all have some sort of semi livable areas for artists, SF has nothing to offer in that regards.

Likewise, people in South Bay lack the sophistication to appreciate anything other than a vanity license plate on a sport car.

> I think you are saying that in the winning case, you are better off if you have exercised early. Perhaps you are not costing the losing case properly?

That's why I'm emphasizing the part about joining very early. Early exercise is ideal when you join when the stock is worth basically nothing, but doesn't make sense later in the startup's life. Which is why in the original post I say that IMO you don't want to join a startup in the middle of its growth. Only very early, or very late.

For example: I joined one very early startup where my option price was a small fraction of a penny. I early exercised and bought many hundred thousand shares for less than $20. There's no downside, worst case I lose less than the price of lunch.

The other reason to early exercise is freedom. You can leave without angst about losing your unexercised options. There are no golden handcuffs, you're free to move jobs.

But this is exactly my point. We can already solve the problem of humans and we aren’t bound by technological constraints. If AI is there chugging along after all humans are rendered “useless” then is it much different than the pre-human era where humans weren’t there to do whatever it is we are doing?

The whole thought experiment of “what if AI makes humans obsolete” is pointless because it assumes there is some universal goal that transcends human existence which there is not. We are not here to do anything but maintain our own existence, and existing with as little effort as possible is actually our end goal. The universe has no other purpose than for us to exist in it.

I work at an industrial plant (steel mill) - "Walking the floor" is still taught to current managers I think it comes out of LEAN manufacturing or similar. It is supposed to be an informal thing, so not looking over people shoulders and writing things up etc.

I believe the idea is for the manager to be visible and approachable so people can feel comfortable coming up to the manager raising issues etc. If the manager is away off site in an executive office or similar then it becomes an added barrier for people to be able to approach them, to notify them about issues etc.
As AI replaces more of our media across filmmaking, music, podcasts etc. - it feels like pro athletes are the only ones whose jobs aren't threatened! Nobody's going to go to the baseball stadium to watch some holograms or robots playing a pre-determined match.

It always surprises me that more people haven't heard of Aniara (2018) [1][2].

I get it's not the kind of movie that appeals to mass tastes: it's admittedly bleak and a slow burn, and requires subtitles if you don't speak French. Still, when I recommend it to people who I think would like it, no one's even heard of it.

There are reasons to recommend it. It's tense, has decent production values, and I liked the characters and themes. With a 106 minute runtime it tells the story it wants to tell without out-staying its welcome.

If you're interested in something different, you could do worse than giving it a look.

Generally you don't use reference types until you encounter a need for something to be a reference type, such as being a reference to a particular resource, or for usage compatibility with an external system.

For example, there are something like eight classes exposed in the minimal swift standard library, representing concepts like managed buffers, singletons like the MainActor, and for implementing concepts like task-local values. These are all examples of types which do not lend themselves to being value types.

Once you start getting to file and network I/O, or interfacing with Objective-C, you start to see the percentage of reference types climb.
I can only guess which sort of drones you have in mind, but from my view, the routine use of cheap, hobbyist-level FPV racing drones to disable tanks in the Ukraine/Russia war rather supports the idea presented in that paragraph.
None of this is very specific, but also matches my experience pretty closely.

Also, if you have Keycloak running behind Apache as a reverse proxy, I've had requests between those two randomly drop. I needed to change some obscure setting in the Apache config in regards to connection pooling/keep-alive or something along those lines, mentioned it in a past comment of mine. That was annoying, in addition to having to configure Keycloak in the first place.

But when it works, it works pretty well!

“ There's a kind of northern Californian exceptionalism that reeks of people who have never traveled to the other 49 states. Or even within California”

I’d say it’s strange that it needs mentioning that there are places that exist outside the financial district/soma in SF and the bay, but it’s not actually strange if the only thing one thinks about said areas and neighborhoods outside the financial district is that they are the undesirable wildfire zone.

Also fire isn’t just a CA thing anymore. A neighborhood in CO was wiped out, NY was blanketed in smoke. Hurricanes are making the Florida home instance market collapses. That’s just scratching the surface.

Having been a victim of DMCA abuse, sometimes it's just easier to shut shop if you're not feeling it to be worth your time and effort to counterclaim and partake of legal battles. This is especially the case if you never bothered to form a legal entity in the first place (which is an indicator that the product/project was not worth such extra effort).

> Of the participants, 44.5% were overweight, and 49.5% were obese

That was a hard one to figure out. I guess the "overweight" classification here probably means "overweight but not obese" and nearly the entire cohort was overweight in the conventional sense?

I think the tittle is clickbait. The “rental” part while technically true (as in the art was made while it was a rental) isn’t true for the protection- it only got it after it was bought.

I don’t get why anyone not involved would care. However if someone would tell me that “hey, one of your tenants went a bit crazy and ruined your apartment, but also it is now protected and you can’t fix it” I would think I was living in a clown world.

However if the passed tenants family picked up the rent after the artist passing and then bought the property from me, I wouldn’t care

The self fit kind are a replacement for a sports mouth guard (hockey, rugby, football) - protect your upper teeth only. They also help with teeth grinding (bruxism). A dentist will sell a custom fit version for several hundred dollars. (Both are useful for their need, the custom fit are more comfortable, but at a 10-20x price hardly worth it).

This article is about a guard that connects to your upper and lower teeth, and draws your jaw forward (it has to to help with obstructive apnea). You basically can't talk while wearing, it takes getting used to. They're not always comfortable, but they definitely help. Less invasive than a CPAP, and you don't need a machine/constant power source.

But there's multiple types of apnea, which the paper[0] makes clear (it's only talking about obstructive apnea) - this headline suggests guards are better for all. That's far from true. Obstructive is more common, but; for the other kind (where you forget to breath at night) this does nothing, and a CPAP is the only solution.

Groundhog Day.

It's such a subtle movie, that it works on multiple levels at the same time. I got to level 2 on the first viewing, but only years later assimilated level 3.

At level 1 it's a simple Romcom movie - boy stuck in a time loop needs to earn girl's love.

Level 2 is that we are all stuck in a time loop. Everyone is functionally living the same day over and over. Same job, same relationships, same everything. (There's even a scene in the movie where Phil describes his predicament and thd barfly replies "welcome to my life".)

Level 3 is even more meta. Because Phil is the only person -not- living the same day. All around him everyone else is the same, but he's evolving. We see him learning piano, and ice-sculpting and so on. He evolves emotionally, and is trying new things. He moves from being self-centred to focused on others.

The genius of the movie, and Murray's performance, is that it's buried, never forced. You're left to figure it out yourself. It's a work of art, disguised as something trivial.

Judging the general quality of artwork is impossible IMHO, the best you can do is to decide of its significance in a particular timeframe and you might choose to preserve it as long as you believe its significant enough.

Stuff usually makes sense within context, there's lot's of buzz for example on Twitter about how some old stuff was beautiful and the new one is ugly. They are doing this for political propaganda and money but there's a reason why people tear down the old "beautiful" stuff to build the new contemporary thing and when doing it they thought that the old stuff was bad for one reason or another. Some day in the future people will be preserving some all glass facade building for it's significance when everyone else has moved to this new thing.

The historical significance is just one thing though, sometimes people preserve stuff for any reason. Sometimes, people preserve stuff because it's amazing that someone did this even if it's not a masterpiece in any way - like the restored version of Ecce Homo :)

The argument against it is that by visiting a site you are initiating an exchange as determined by the site operator. In the case of YT, you are watching a video you want to, and must in return watch ads or pay for a premium subscription. The technical details, according to this argument, are invisible to most people and therefore irrelevant. This is, of course, a stance that only makes sense to someone without a real sense of ownership over their computing devices, i.e. to someone who views computers as appliances that are used to consume services.
There's also an African bird whose foraging strategy includes alerting large mammals to the presence of food that they can harvest and the bird can scavenge.

In fact, there is a family of such birds, the honeywarblers, who locate beehives, then find humans and lead them to the beehives.

Wikipedia says that the behavior is dying out because there aren't enough human foragers.

I really don’t understand the “you must buy a new phone every year” crowd.
