Chronically tired people with ADHD or on the spectrum are kind of ticking time bombs. I can’t imaging telling them to intentionally get less sleep.

Tied to the buzzing you mentioned, another model of insomnia that is tied to this is intrusive thoughts. They don’t have to be dark to keep you awake, and even a little dark can lead to spiraling. I knew people who would stay up late doing things like play video games and the pattern there was staying awake until exhausted and falling to sleep five minutes after their head hit the pillow.

You could say they were addicted to video games but they were really doing anything they could to stay out of their own heads.

Mealy-mouthed corporate lying horeshit.

If free-market libertarianism is as great as the tech bros want us to think, why do these companies lie so much and so often despite the need for participants in the market to be correctly and full informed so they can make rational decisions?
I think the idea is a good one, I just have zero trust in Microsoft to have my interests in mind so it becomes a question of when, not if, it becomes abused, if not by them then some bad actor.
> That's why Snap and Flatpak actually install a common standardized base distro on top of your distro or why Docker in its current form exists (basically packaging and running entire distro filesystems).

And neither method really works for the desktop usecase, because one expects things to actually integrate with the desktop, and that often requires IPC, not just dynamic libraries. So if you bundle an entire filesystem with all libraries you've made things WORSE. Accessibility & I-Bus will break almost guaranteed every other release...
Sorry, that's still not a reason to use bools instead of "errors" and

An error should by default be considered non-recoverable, to be returned when something goes very wrong. Semantically, a table not existing isn't really an error, it's something you expect to happen all the time.

I recall watching a lecture on Youtube where the lecturer pulled up a picture of the same armor as an example of archaeologists misinterpreting the purpose of what they find. The lecture hall, filled with professionals, started laughing as if it were some obvious well-known mistake of the archaeologist misidentifying it as armor. Still not sure what they all thought it was.

That's a good response! I had to spend some time to work out what goes wrong here. But I figured it out.

Parallel transport is broken in your model of the sphere. Take this example. Take a vector pointing north in circle 1, and send through the north portal. It should be pointing south when it gets to the other circle. Fine -- north in circle 1 corresponds to south in circle 2.

Now send the north-pointing vector east instead. It is going to point north in circle 2.

So the north vector changes direction depending on which portal it goes through. So parallel transport changes directions. Hence your model of the sphere is not flat.

Yeah, it seems like a huge personality disconnect and critical lack of comprehension that other people simply dont like what they do. Ive spent a lot of time in excellent dense European cities and it still doesnt appeal to me. I dont like going out to bars, crowds, or general city life.

I like privacy, having a workshop, chickens, fruit trees, and a garden. I like having a huge kitchen, a pantry, a meat smoker, and hosting dinner parties. I like having room for an off-road vehicle and camping gear.

It is hard to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head when someone tells me how much better dense urban living is. I have never met anyone IRL that would happily trade their suburban home for urban life.

When my Grandmother was in hospice somehow everyone involved managed to help her and say that she could be helped without lying to her about the situation, telling her that she could not be helped or euthanizing her.

In short everyone actually helped her.

No one lied to her by saying there was nothing that could be done. She didn't but if she had said she wanted to kill herself no one would have asked her how they could help with that but instead they would have asked her why, and followed that up with how that problem could if not be fixed at least dealt with.

The women who did this clearly had problems and when push came to shove everyone just stood around and told her to deal with them herself.

> I'm willing to bet it still works on Win11.

It might not. A lab I was at in uni still had Windows XP PCs because according to them, that's the last Windows OS that allowed direct serial/paralel port access needed to control the external robotics/CNCs via those old APIs the SW used, since subsequent versions of Windows abstracted away those direct HW API calls that DOS used in the name of security and stability.
keeping track of their child while the child was very young

You keep avoiding saying location tracking. Are you seriously talking about location tracking an adult in their 30s? Say it directly.

Are you saying this happens with knowledge or without? With consent or without? Are you saying parents are putting live location trackers on their 30 year old children's owned phones?

Why do you keep ignoring the actual point and saying abstract irrelevant things like 'parents want to keep track of their children' ?

Address the actual point and show some evidence.
One is not like the other. Constantinople was formally established as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. It never stopped being that until it fell to the Crusaders in the 13th century. Its citizens called themselves Roman simply because that's what they were. After the Western Empire fell, they were the only "Romans" left (i.e., of the empire). On the other hand, the Ottomans considered themselves Roman simply because they _conquered_ "Rum" (Constantinople) in the 15th century - the Ottomans recognized which empire Constantinople actually was. And, the Romanovs in Russia considered themselves Roman because they married into the family. The concept of "Byzantine" as something distinct that Constantinople "changed" into is an invention of Roman Catholic and Holy Roman Empire scholars after Constantinople had fallen and finally after all those years no longer stood in the way of the Vatican's claim to a temporal empire which they felt inherited the "Roman Empire" glory.
While I can't recommend enough giving Firefox another try, uBlock Lite (the Manifest V3 version) is actually decent.

When I watched this film, I immediately thought during the finale of this film that the story of this film is so "wrong" because the public will barely care about the misdeeds of NURV (or rather: those who do care basically already "know").

From todays's perspective, considering for example the Snowden and Wikileaks revelations that caused exactly these barely-nil reactions in the public, I know that I was right regarding this feeling.

I'm also a fan.

On my own computer, I prefer Firefox and the full version, but work doesn't allow "all site access" extensions in Chrome, and I'm really thankful for uBO Lite there.

I could definitely see myself switch on Firefox too, once most extensions move to the v3 security model. A hybrid would probably be ideal: v2-like blocking behavior on an opt-in basis per site for where it's needed, with a better default security posture where it isn't.

(Actually I wish Firefox would backport the v3-like "allow site access only after first extension button click" model that Chrome has backported even for v2 extensions, but that's pretty far down on my wishlist.)
I've certainly seen and emulated this pattern in a lot of Go code. I don't know if I am representative of the larger community. I often use bool unless there are other error conditions (and there often are), but this article is definitely making me wonder if this is ideal.
How much use out of something is enough?

AirPods weigh 10.4 grams for the pair. Let's say two hours per charge, and 400 charges, before they're no good.

That's 1.3 milligrams of e-waste per hour. After 77 hours you have one aspirin pill's worth of e-waste on your conscience.

Filling a landfill? With the case, I get about 1.5 million per shipping container. How big are landfills where you live?
I wouldn't say they caused barely-nil reactions. Maybe to the general public and to a random bystander if asked, but they still had implications for the public's overall trust in the government. And for users in the affected spaces (tech, security, etc.) the reaction was stronger and longer lasting.
No Country For Old Men: IRS edition
It's great the author found that CBT-I worked for them, but I'm amazed it took them that long to find out about sleep hygiene.

As a life-long insomniac, I learned about sleep hygiene in the 80s. I don't think they called it CBT-I back then. I've done the sleep restriction, I've done it all.

However, the author did pick up on something I've been speaking with a lot of people about more recently.

Usually people associate insomnia with stress. For non-chronic insomniacs, I can see how this would be the case, and seeing as only 10% of the population are chronic insomniacs, for most people, insomnia will be transient, and increased cortisol, and active mind during stressful times obviously creates the opportunity for this condition.

For many of the chronic insomniacs I've been speaking with, both onset and maintenance (wake up in the middle of the night), it seems many agree that our minds are just active at that time. Not stressed, sometimes not even that active. I can meditate in the middle of the night and still spend the next 45 minutes awake.

There is a part of our brains that kinda likes it.

I think calling this an "algorithmic solution to insomnia" is misleading.

When used well, JS will improve the experience especially for high-latency low bandwidth users. Not doing full page refreshes for example, or not loading all data at once.

So no, "no JS at all" is not "by far the lightest weight" in many cases. This is just uncritically repeating dogma. Even 5K to 20K of JS can significantly increase performance.

Not exactly. FDA granted it an orphan drug designation in 2014, and then full approval for second- or third-line therapies in 2018 (on the basis of a Phase I/II study). The Phase III study (NCT03052608) is the gift that keeps on giving - it ran 2017-2020, and the progression-free survival in the lorlatinib arm is 60% vs 8% for the control.

WebUSB and WebBluetooth really are amazing, and are one of the few reasons I occasionally fire up Chrome.

I don't get the objection either: Unlike for e.g. notification access (which is frequently abused and which Firefox does implement!), I can't imagine websites demanding USB access in exchange for, I don't know – discount codes?

This. All of my friends are blue collar workers. It's been getting tougher for them year after year. It's been difficult to watch at times.

The ones who have gone to work for themselves fare better, but it hasn't gotten any easier for those grinding it out on an hourly wage.
> but they still had implications for the public's overall trust in the government.

In my observation it really was as I described:

- those who already deeply distrusted the government continued to do so

- the others (the huge majority) simply did barely care or even attempted to justify the crimes

Concerning your point about tech and security sectors: those who form the inner core of the people working in these sectors basically already knew what was happening since at least the 90s.
Absolutely. Track down a purse + contents worth what, 200 USD, versus track down someone(s) who routinely steals professional-grade tooling, where probably each tool is worth 200 USD each, and it seems a lot of them were stolen.

The scale seems very different to reach any such conclusion as grand-parent.
At zoom levels where buildings aren't loaded, they're treated as casting no shadow, which causes the site to hugely underestimate the amount of shade for dense urban areas. I can see how this would be a hard problem if you're doing the shadow rendering on the client side, but is it something that you have thought about trying to solve?
Holy shit, when I was doing litigation these databases would be my wet dream.

Presumably the snapshots it takes and summarises are periodic, but at what interval I'm not sure. Alternatively (and this is a technical possibility) it could be hooked into WebViews and HWNDs to get notified when it's worth taking a screenshot.

Isn't it? I think it's at possible that there's less environmental damage when a product or service is created by the person who knows best how to do that.

How much damage would I do if I tried to make a car from scratch? I'd argue quite a bit because you'd have to use 10 times the parts and energy from just about anyone else because I would create a piece of useless junk 10 times before I'd get anything useful.

If you watch someone skilled in an art there's a tendency to think you could never do it. That might not be true but even if it is the real question is what it would cost you to be as good as the artisan. What is it that you create that wouldn't get done because you've taken them to learn how and do something else?
OBEY.
I’ve found them to be quite good but I often give an example of what this would look like in another language or I ask follow up questions on are there other ways and what are the tradeoffs etc. it’s all what you make it. Not that different from talking to another engineer.

The best part by far is I can ask to dive deeper or explain something that I didn’t understand very easily. If I was reading a book or in school I can’t stop the world and have it refocus on what I need to understand to continue easily.

Nice example! A sphere is pretty tough to see...

One thing that helped me is considering how to deform the edges of your glued circle examples into a flat square. First, map the two sides of the seam two the two corners of the plane. This becomes a sphere by folding it into a triangle and then gluing (or portaling) up neighboring edges. Having the portals on neighboring edges means that they change directions in weird ways.

This is somewhat different than the torus with portals example, where the portals were placed on opposite edges of the plane.

Edit: Found some diagrams!

QA people are very bimodally distributed. Excluding managers, 90% of the best and the worst coworkers I’ve ever had have been QA. If you have drive and focus you can be amazing. If you have neither then you’re an albatross around the team’s neck.

It’s a very passive aggressive way to root out a problem in an organization by just removing it.

To your comment about being a path to coding: if you can code well and test well, you should skip entirely over being a software dev and go into security consulting. Instead of a 40% pay bump you could be looking at an 80% pay bump. What is a red team member but a coder with the suspicious mind of a QA person?
