I found my enjoyment of a hobby goes way up if I just do it, and don't talk about it online, document/photograph it, or follow people online doing it better than me (unless I am learning a specific technique from them, e.g. watching a how-to video).

Social media totally shifts and ruins our experience of things: it becomes a performance to impress others rather than actually fun itself.

Once I realized that- I realized the people everyone envies online aren't even having fun, or actually enjoying the hobby. That person doing extreme camping on Instagram with the most glamorous photos: it's 100% fake. They're lugging camera equipment to remote places, and likely bringing a professional paid photographer. They probably tore it all down and slept in a hotel after setting up camp for the photo.

I largely agree with the thrust of the article, but wow is it one-sided. Which is fine, I'd just like to read another article that discusses some of the issues as well. Like air quality—the mention of smoke being thick enough to drop stream temperatures by 2.5°F didn't seem quite as wonderful to me as the article implied. (Then again, that seems like an extreme case, and one where you're burning a lot of wet stuff. Well, or oily stuff like scotch broom; that smoke can be black.) Obviously it's still a lot better than an out of control wildfire, but still not something to just ignore.

The one thing they did mention is fires that escape. It's a risk when doing traditional burns in highly non-traditional settings: lots more dead vegetation in the surrounding area, invasives (like scotch broom or eucalyptus) that burn hotter and can shoot out streams of fire, drier conditions overall, etc.

That said, continuing the trend of constructing buildings in the midst of forests where you're allowing fuel to just pile up over time, in drought conditions no less, is stupid. I'd rather try to manage and mitigate the risk over time with controlled burns than keep allowing it to build up while we're all busy wringing our hands over it.

I think in reality, Jane Smith would be a grad student who has a deep enough understanding of math to write a lucid essay.

The problem with a non-math clerical person or AI writing about a technical topic is the same problem clickbait science journalism has. They wildly misunderstand things, and sometimes even a single poor choice of words leads to completely false statements.

If there's a real truth being communicated, especially a new frontier paper not in any training set, then A.I. is going to just deteriorate the accuracy by fluffing it up with hallucinated mumbo jumbo.

I use A.I. in my writing all the time, but I do it the right way. I make a list of the real truths and arguments I want to make, I read the A.I.s essay, I grab the snippets I like, then I dictate vocally an essay on the fly, while skimming the snippets for the talking points. Then maybe I do that loop again to refine. A.I. is a chatty, weird talking coworker on drugs who you bounce ideas off, it's not a genius you can directly plagiarise from.
Actually poor people deserve justice and security too?

Unless you're the richest person in the world. Because if you aren't, someone is going to outbid you on the security forces, and then it's their decision, not "the market's" decision.
It's a sad situation if those considerations would lead to conclusion that since everybody is not perfect, then all approaches are equally valid.

For example, references to historical events gradually lose sense, as in a distant past human behavior was different - i.e., Roman republic or China kingdoms were even ideologically very different from modern countries, or e.g. Denmark was very different from today's state. Times change in a sense that some people's values change, behaviors change and it makes less and less sense to construct intersocietal relationships on the events of the distant past. What's more justifiable is to consider the current state of affairs.

For example, in 2001 Russia was helping USA to put a pressure on Afghan bases of jihadists, and today such a behavior is probably impossible, given that Taliban is welcomed in the Kremlin - so it's reasonable for US to change the stance toward Russia in relation to this state.

As for e.g. South America, the Western approach gradually changed from "colonial" - where various resources were extracted and the society was pushed towards leaders convenient the West - towards "collaborational", where West has laws and habits regulating relations with foreign countries, which, for example, have penalties for bribes.

The society changed enough so that after the war started in Ukraine a lot of Western companies left Russia - just because the population in markets more important to those companies, and that population doesn't in general approve the Russian actions.

So, yes, the West isn't perfect, and efforts should continue to improve it. At the same time West provides a compelling demonstration of success in important areas of life, which could be useful to other countries.
I’m going to seize on one phrase:

people, including many software engineers themselves, view software engineers as natural resources

I’ve said this a million times on this forum.. the little trick whereby people who were once employees became merely _human resources_ has done more to damage work-life in this world than anything else I can think of.

Its natural to exploit resources to their fullest. Labeling humans as resources is inherently dehumanizing and desperately needs to end.

I don't think it is for the same level of service provided. I have read that there are three substantial differences between medical care in the USA and in other countries:
1. More single-patient rooms
2. More surgical procedures performed in the final year of life
3. More obesity
and that the difference in the percentage of GDP spent on healthcare can at least partially be explained by these.
You had me at “… and then ants got inside…” I spit my lasagna all over my brand new HHKB.
This is a useful comment, but it obviously leaves a bunch of stuff out that complicates its narrative, like the gradual immoral annexation of the West Bank, and the conditions in which Gaza has been locked in by Israel after Sharon's withdrawal. I sympathize with you about the frustrating differences between "true" Apartheid and what Israel has --- most notably, that it's a geographical form of apartheid, rather than a strictly racial one --- but I don't think the distinction much matters to millions of people living in what is in effect a bantustan.

The Problem with Android in regards to DNS: you just can't set your own IPv6 DNS Server on that platform, it gets changed anytime anything happens to your wifi.
There is no app, even for rooted android, which can disable the operating system from changing it.

When you are stuck with a router that always hands out IPv6 Adresses and doesn't let you turn that off you are just screwed.

I don't even know if you could install a firewall appliance behind that router and strip out the IPv6 DNS Servers it advertises.

I've noticed the same issue with AI coding, where you start to write requirements and then realize that you yourself don't have a perfect idea of what exactly this feature should be, or how it should work. It's easy to say the answer should be to simply think harder, or enter a dialogue with the AI about missing details, but if you try that you'll find yourself supplying an enormous amount of context you didn't expect to have to communicate. Context not even directly related to the code at hand, but about the broader business or industry, past lessons learned, something the CEO said to you last week about the feature, etc.

It's this kind of thing that makes me think tackling big feature requests is still an AGI-complete problem. Perhaps if it gets good enough at pure coding you can iterate your way to success.

Given that most weenies aren't crazy about regular people (especially the fitness types), that the watch lasts more than 3 months, and that weenies love dense character stat screens and leveling, I really could not disagree more. It's a borderline science fiction cyborg health tracking device.

Also, for most of the weenies here, an $800 purchase isn't too rough. They have decent $500 and $300 dollar options, but the available amount stats and tracking goes down.

I don't know, but I think you and I have vastly different base assumptions.

Its a huge legal liability to have statements about how data won't be used and then use it, when you're a company that might compete in similar spaces, and Microsoft competes almost everywhere.

While I trusted githib when they were independent, I trust this feature from MS owned github more than I would them because the liability misuse opens them up to is so much more. If I was building a product and I was able to prove some MS depot used my info in an unauthorized way to build a product, I could sue that product out of existence, and someone always talks, so MS can't assume it will never be known, and they know that.
what if a system-level (read: root) process doesn't respect your user-configured routing table? that's the real issue here. only mitigation would be to physically remove the undesirable NIC/s from the system, which is obviously impossible on SoC hardware.

This is an inaccurate take. It loiters on the bottom in an energy-efficient sleep mode.

Separately, it collects small amounts of energy via geothermal means similar to something like regenerative braking. This, of course, allows it to sleep for longer periods.

Nobody is genetically suited for modern society. We’re barely suited for an agrarian one.

There was an impressive demo at AWS Summit London of their Code Whisperer and Q products taking a similar route to CW. Provide a user story and it'd create a PR.

According to the website you posted, the First Price powder has less "naughty chemicals" than the tablets you use (but with less cleaning power).
I'm just using the terms that show up on my etrade plan confirmations. In lieu of actual dividends, the terms of the grant say the company will issue RSU dividend equivalents, commensurate with what the dividend would have been had it been purchased on the grant date (or something similar, I don't have that paperwork at hand).
Apple is no less culpable of the same, they just put it behind the garden walls (which, in fairness, would appear to be just barely more trustworthy than Alphabet).

That's not what I said, but thanks.
I'm still not sure how this is different than the vs code plugin. It seems to function in about the same way. Just uses a bit of different context reference. But that scope can easily lead to incorrect code targeting.
No they're not. They're being removed by police for setting up encampments on private property. You can't just start setting up tents wherever you want on private land and taking over the area.

It might still be a bad idea to remove them, but if they were just doing standard protests in public areas, it'd be much less of an issue.
75% is not exactly this. It mangles the home cluster (pgup, pgdn, home, end, insert, del), often missing "insert" entirely. It also relocates the arrow keys slightly.

If you just want a keyboard without a numpad, it is called TenKeyLess (TKL) or 80%.

For me, it matters. I use the home cluster a lot, including the insert key (for copy and pasting), and because I use many different keyboards (for work, etc...), muscle memory is important, and full size is the most common. So when using a compact keyboard, I like having the keys in the same place more than saving 2 columns.

But to each his own, especially with keyboards.
When reading posts such as these, it occurs to me that AI is increasing the rate / lowering the bar for developers to make the jump to leader / architect.

Look at the lessons that the author has learned here:

* More specificity == better

* The importance of clear bulleted delivery items / criteria-for-success

* Unspecified details around a general goal is a ripe area for disappointment

All of these are things that a product owner / team leader learns in their first few projects (and so often must re-learn as the years go by).

AI is lowering barriers and promoting more developers to this role earlier. But everything that we learned about good Agile development in the past will still apply to the future.
Thanks I appreciate it! Maybe when I start producing stuff with it and putting it on itch.io and other places, just need to get it out there outside dev circles :)
Yea, and what does Chinese police do to protesters? Be it the White Paper protests in Shanghai and Beijing in 2022 [0], the wave of ethnic Mongol protests in 2020-21 [1], etc.

Police will inevitably crack down on protests everywhere, yet protests continue to happen on a daily basis in the US with minimal long term ramifications.

Also, none of what you pointed out actually refutes my points above about internet censorship, and as such clearly shows an attempt at whataboutism.

P.S. Both HRW [2] and Amnesty [3] have unequivocally voiced their support for the right to protest in the US, and as such if you try to say "oh human rights organizations are a tool of the west" it's complete bullshit.

No, UnsafeCell doesn't change any rules around non-aliasing for &mut/Box. (E.g., if you move a Box<UnsafeCell<T>>, it will still invalidate any pointers to the data.) All it does is change the rules around immutability for & references. &T is "not noalias" regardless of UnsafeCell, but it's immutable in its absence.

Meanwhile, there is a magic "not noalias" mechanism currently recognized by Miri, in the form of !Unpin types. But this is considered a temporary hack to keep it from complaining about pinned futures that reference their own fields, in the absence of an actual language feature. Also, it only applies to accessing values through unique references, not to moving or writing to them by their binding.
A few years ago, when I was testing various VPN set ups for a project, one thing I would do is have a MikroTik firewall device (hardware) sit between my computer and my main router, it’s only purpose would be to block any traffic, not dst for the IP address of the VPN server that the pc was connecting to.

This worked great to ensure that no traffic was leaked from pc to vpn server. The IP address of the VPN server you’re making use of rarely changes or if it does it’s easy enough to change on the MikroTik firewall.

Another method is to block all traffic not to the port/protocol pair being used by the VPN server if you don’t know the servers IP address (or if it changes). As an example drop any traffic not dst UDP 1194 (based on the type of VPN, of course). MikroTik routers also have a great little tool called torch that allows you to quickly and easily watch traffic (in addition to of course, supporting packet captures. Mikrotik routers are very reasonably priced and range from as low as $30 up to $3000 - all with no software licenses, and they are very powerful and capable if you know what you’re doing.

> (4th amendment) The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. [1]

General warrants can specify places. The point is really that the 4th amendment requires you to list where you're searching and what to be seized. The framers complained about how when a general warrant was issued; the British officers would seize _all_ of their papers and not just criminal ones. The framers definitely would not like you using a warrant for gambling ledgers to seize _not_ gambling ledgers.

5th amendment's current interpretation is that it only means you can't be forced to testify against yourself. However, it's initial interpretation was that your belongings couldn't be used either. [2]

From everything I've read about existing Lithuum battery storage, this is already their strongpoint. Is it helpful to be 10x faster that the current speed?
