If you can’t afford a home its still not justifying squatting. Just rent like everyone else in that situation the world over. At the end of the day homes aren’t priced to be impossible to afford for everyone or else they wouldn’t sell at all. You just might need a better job than the first one you can find. Afaik Spain seems to do better with producing housing to meet demand than the US or a lot of other places too.
Apple's sort of already sherlocked this. The "Control Center" that consolidates a bunch of menu bar widgets into one big iOS-style dropdown full of controls solves the same problem of "I have more crap in my menu bar than I have room for, especially now that my laptop has this stupid notch". Except it's a private interface so absolutely zero of the programs that want to put stuff in your menu bar can offer up buttons in there.

https://neuroclastic.com/exploring-the-inner-worlds-of-autis... This link isn't what I was referring to, but it is a different thing that could be described as a "rich internal experience".

What I was referring to is hard to explain, but it is apparent after a few hours of observation and conversation. I'm not saying allistics are in some sense lesser,¹ but you can tell, when talking to them, that most allistics just… don't have anything going on between the ears except future plans, the occasional daydream, and worries about their positions in status hierarchies – that is, when they're not actively engaged in a task. (When they are, they can have insights into what they're doing as deep as anyone else.) Most allistics need to explicitly meditate in order to pay attention to anything beyond their narrow internal subjective experience – and, not coincidentally, most allistics who sing the praises of "meditation" and "mindfulness" actually have no clue what it is or how it works or even how to do it.

¹: Yes, I am being deliberately provocative. No, this isn't an acceptable way to talk about entire categories of people, but in my experience, most allistics don't notice what they're doing to other people until somebody does it to them. The Golden Rule is, it seems, a heuristic that they have to deliberately and consciously employ, rather than something they have an intuitive understanding of: undeliberated-upon allistic morality is "do unto others what your neighbours are also doing unto those Others". So: if this wording upset you, that was deliberate. I'm still sorry for it.
Buggy-whip makers aren’t around anymore…

New tech drives job changes. Always has, always will. No guarantee that the changes are good for every individual. And there’s no guarantee that they are good in the aggregate, either.
Interesting that they hold with SRB's lit.

I think SLS does 90% thrust on main engines - then lights SRB's but SRB ignition is takeoff. A problem at that point is launch escape abort (capsule to safety) if for example one SRB lit but the other didn't for some reason. Not sure it can otherwise manage the asymmetric thrust.
"best" is subjective.

Again: you can audit the source code yourself, you can build it yourself, you can run it yourself. If you trust your correspondent and they did that too, then you can be pretty confident that the E2EE works fairly well.

Is it perfect? No. Nothing is. But with arguments like this, you can complain about everything: "computers suck because there is no way to audit the millions of components that go into the hardware".

> If not then it's a trust based security model

I doubt "trust-based security model" is a thing. If you don't understand that there is always trust somewhere, then you have missed something about security.

If you can't trust the binary coming from the official stores, maybe you will trust the ones distributed by Signal. If you can't trust that, then you can build from sources. If you can't trust the sources, maybe you shouldn't use Signal.

But it goes further: can you trust your OS? Can you trust your hardware? There is always trust somewhere.
In theory those benefits are already there in the form of social (and potentially economic) support from the kids.

The challenge comes if the kids hate you and refuse to acknowledge you - something which has been being encouraged more and more by western society, BTW.

Historically, people would secretly understand (yeah, they are an abusive alcoholic!) but call you a bad kid and tell you to suck it up and deal with it. Since otherwise they’d have to deal with it. Going no contact is increasingly normalized.

Probably why many societies, especially conservative ones, lean so heavily on filial piety type concepts and frown on people cutting off their parents. especially when those parents are a burden or huge pain in the ass to those around them. Like Chinese mother-in-laws.

I can’t imagine that proposal going over well with the LGBTQ contingent either - which near as I can tell gets a lot of the angst from conservatives precisely because they’re ’having fun’ by opting out of the system and doing what they want instead of ‘comply or die’ like the rest.

As someone who moved a lot growing up and for my career, not being in one place long enough to really bond with people may be the cause of feeling isolated/not understood, maybe even more so than having more experience with different places and cultures...
I think the primary example of icon alignment though relies on that behaviour. I think an icon resting on the baseline, as tall as the cap height is probably the most visually balanced looking option.

If you need a container that includes the bottom of the descenders to the cap height, it's probably best to use a container with no prescribed height and let the browser figure out the containing dimensions.
Well put.

In other words: simplicity is a hallmark of understanding.
Microsoft's Recall is already exploited
Yet the burden in C# and Java was consider enough of an issue versus languages like Python, JavaScript, Go, that both platforms are reducing the hello world boilerplate.
Verification is a requirement.

Some states, like California, electronically validate. Other states, for example Alabama, do paper verification which involves collecting identity proofs and either a social security card or a W2.
> unnatural hand position

Is it really unnatural? Interestingly, as a right-handed, the two middle fingers
of my right hand tend to effortlessly group together; this feels noticeably less true on my left hand, but still observable if I try to relax it.

The peculiar "mission tile" (half-cylindrical) flexibility of the palm region, encouraged by writing for example, may foster this grouping.

It's a bit surprising for the article not to address potential anatomical causes.
It simply means that you have your own gray matter plus the gray matter of the other person.
I’m not sure how they do it in Spain but in the US merely lowering the rent is not always realistic with the way financing values properties based on rent values (collected or not).
Thanks for clarifying once again. This confirmed what I understood you meant.

I think your tie-breaker argument is totally fair which is why I didn't even try to contest it. But now that I'm thinking about it a little bit more, I do see a small issue with the guideline. Namely, for me as a commenter, it is ususally unclear whether my interpretation is indeed the strongest plausible one - for one, because what is "strongest" is, at least to a certain degree, subjective. But also, because it is unlikely that a commenter will ever be in a position to realize all possible interpretations of something they would like to comment on.

But like in this case, I don't have a problem in general with you (or someone else) barging in and flagging one of my comments, as long as it's fair, which in this case I think it was.

The upside of his guideline is that commenters should think twice before hitting the keyboard: is there perhaps an interpretation that I missed? I kinda doubt that that's going to become the new way to interact on the internet, but if it did, it would certainly be an improvement.
Housing is inherently an investment.

It take a huge amount of materials and labor to build, and returns value slowly over time. Depending on the inputs and returns, this can either create positive or negative value.
Fixing the iPhone 13 Pro cameras by putting it in the freezer
How does RCMD + Rectangle Pro compare to AeroSpace?
Depends on your definition of "forces" - the protocol enforces ipv6 addressability, and has the concept of a "border router" that transports messages from the network the BR is connected to to the thread network.

Presumably the fear here is that iPhones/ipads/macs will be border routers by default and since they likely have internet access they would "force" the system to accept messages from outside the mesh.
I thought that was just for Europe, then they got sued so they re-added it.

They require verification, and states have the ability to choose how they do so.
CommonCanvas image generation from CC-licensed images – models, dataset released
Thank you for the point on newer generations costing similar but delivering better; I hadn't considered that, I suppose my mind was on the serverless and Cloud API services, not machines under infra-based scaling.

Electricity of a Macbook M1 Pro running my build locally is cheaper than self-hosting or Amazon, as far as I can tell so while I get your reasoning - I'm talking about Dev compute.

Also MRKL and other tools (even yes for Infra as code) are making it to my mind more viable and easy than the old days. Good times are ahead.
It uses AI for some things you can't really use free APIs for:

- Turn a colloquial name for a neighborhood into the exact latitude and longitude (I'm sure there's some API that can kind of do this but I don't know a free one that is as accurate as GPT)

- Adding to the previous point, if you say "Hogwarts" or "Tatooine" it will dutifully give you the weather of those too thanks to AI [1]

- Most importantly, write a Dall-E compatible prompt to generate an image with the actual weather conditions (and sun/moon etc)

32° Freemason here. The images and descriptions do not match any masonic hand positions I am aware of.

However, there were numerous other fraternities and secret societies during that era, although they were typically gender-specific. Seeing both men and women using the same hand signals suggests these were likely common societal practices of the time. And since, presumably the hand positions are secret, they're not going to be immortalized in a painting.
I suppose I don't understand how colors work on e-paper at all. Can these 7 colors not be dithered? Or even mixed more properly, for something like true color functionality?
Sounds like the author should start testing by resizing the browser and fix the issues that causes rather than complain about valid reports.

If things get cut off or not layed out correctly with a resized browser window then that's just as much as a bug as one shown in the responsive device mode. And frankly if your layout is correct in one but not the other then that's a strong hint you are doing something very very wrong and fighting the browser instead of letting it lay out things responsively.

> Sure, but does it not occur to them that property owners might be performing an important function such that a policy that causes most of them to leave landlording might worsen the situation of the homeless and other poor people?

Sure, but I think most people feel stronger about helping people at the bottom of society, rather than the ones closer to the top.

Worst case scenario for the homeless, they remain homeless and have lesser life expectancy. Worst case scenario for the landlord with vacant properties losing their vacant properties, less wealth in the future.

Yes, that'd be a terrible policy. Same if it applied to property. So luckily, there is nothing like that in Spain that works like you described it, regarding properties.
Indeed. This means upholding international law wherever possible as thats the biggest single mechanism thats kept us in something approaching peacetime for all these years. This means holding our allies to a higher standard than those who oppose us. This means being willing to oppose tyrants and hostile actors.

We cant get complacent about these things because thats how we do get WW3. Lets all work to prevent that. Lets give Ukraine what they need to fight. Lets be more strict and hold Israel to a higher standard. Lets strengthen our presence in the south china sea and lets do it visibly and believably.
And? For big companies, lawsuits are mostly about being forced to pay money. Rarely does losing a case drive real behavioral change, much less fundamental change.

Cloning Windows Recall in 30 Lines of Bash
I opened the README and Usage section only showed how to reorder items, nothing else. This app is utterly unnecessary for that purpose. I thought, perhaps other macOS users are unaware of that, and my comment would help.

Sounds like you don’t even dispute his point, so how could you have refuted it?

To your point about relevance : nobody here has claimed this competitive advantage is wildly useful in a “first world” context, something the GP actually framed explicitly.

Personally I don’t think one needs to invoke post apocalyptic scenarios, as there are plenty of “first world” professions or scenarios that benefit from the same skill sets - military, emergency medicine, firefighting, just to name a few. The first world isn’t all spreadsheets and jira tasks.
The Human Factor
My preference is common nouns, generally it's the most concise and precise naming, I understand the issue in Go however, so the argument carries weight. What I would say is redundant verbosity is a fair halfway house.

Namespacing in languages such as Rust (modules) are probably most favourable to me, i.e. f64::min/max ~ u64::min/max or a hypothetical crypto::rand() math::rand().
Is there a way to limit using the Right side Option key and spare the Left Option Key for the OS?

The good thing about RCMD is I can specify which specific key, consuming only 1 OPT or CMD key while saving the other key for the OS shortcuts
I think this method might not be amenable to the exponential divergence argument actually.

Depending on token sampling methods, this one could look at a proposed generation as a whole and revise it. I’m not sure the current token sampling method they propose does this right now, but I think it’s possible with the information they get out of the probabilities.
Nice, super clever use of it! Yeah it's super fun and makes me want to put these screens all over my house.
Yes. That's why fundamental particles are called the "building blocks of the universe". It's buildings all the way down!
Having been involved in peer reviewed publishing before, I wonder if this was an afterthought prompted by a peer reviewer's comments on the paper. Perhaps they quickly added this point just to get it to pass review. Sloppy, if so, but I've seen similar (though not as blatant) things happen.

Big News Outlets Keep Forgetting They Hate Video Games
There’s also the fact that compared to Europe, you can do quite a bit of hard drugs in public in Seattle and not really have a cop go after you over it. This also precludes shelters, since accepting the offer of shelter probably means accepting withdraw symptoms as well since you aren’t allowed to do drugs there.
Have you read Deleuze? from your comment here I think you would enjoy his thoughts on empires and what he called “war machines” and “the state apparatus.”

Here’s a good comment on it:

The TL:DR is: for D&G 'war machines' are the specific constitution, form and alignment of a state that refuses to be a state (a nomad state). It is the tools by which a state refuses to be a state.

The state as we think of it relies upon centralization, stability and continuity--war machines are by definition nomadic, shifting locations, and leaders, decentralizing, redefining what is and isn't a periphery etc.

At the same time, both are effective at commandeering power and directing it towards a goal: even if the state claims a monopoly on being able to do this.

It is the difference between a Medieval city state and the Mongol horde, or a pirate ship, or if you prefer a contemporary example, between a modern state, and terrorist groups, marginal groups, autonomous zone festivals like "Burning man", anarchist collectives, homeless camps, etc which operate within it and on the periphery of it, while neglecting or actively disrupting the state's hegemony.

War machines can and often are coopted by state power, but they are still separate from it and disruptive to it.

Well, now you know where they got it from.
I'm the author of the post. You raise a good point about relative savings. Based on last week's data, our change reduced the task time by 40ms from an average of 3440ms, and this task runs 11 million times daily. This translates to a saving of about 1% on compute.
Ah, I wasn't clear; I was referring to the modern usage which seem to mean "a thing that I see problems with". I'm unfamiliar with the original definition and have never heard it colloquially, so I'm not sure how it's used.

This is an old discussion now, so I won't post too much more here, but in responding to this, I decided to do a bit of research on "problematic", and it seems (from Merriam Webster) that the first use was in 1609, and was indeed exactly the sense we use it today: "posing a problem: difficult to resolve or decide". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/problematic

So let's say Umberto Eco's use of problematic was indeed in this sense (as I haven't heard a very compelling alternative). My point is that _he_ could replace problematic with what he's really trying to say, but of course I can't because I'm not the speaker and I don't know what he means. But I can take a few (bad) guesses:

1) The public's music taste is a problem for him because they don't appreciate the aspects of music that he thinks are most valuable. In this case, the phrase would be "congenial to the unsophisticated taste of the public".

2) The public's taste could be a problem because they want easy, convenient access to music via radio and TV, and Eco believes the true value of music can only be expressed live, where the listener has more agency. The phrase here would be "congenial to the convenience the public demands".

3) Maybe the public just doesn't like classical music, and like rock instead. Maybe ""congenial to the modern music taste of the public" would work here.

I could go on and on: the point is, if this were written instead of spoken, and I were the editor, and circle the work "problematic" in red and write in the margin "What are you really trying to convey here?" It would then be a discussion point with the author to dig into the real point so it could be conveyed clearly. But this is an (translated?) interview, so I don't think that bar is appropriate, but I still think there's ambiguity.
Another wordlist surprise and two UI suggestions.

My mother got a puzzle containing HAVES (as in the opposite of "have-nots," I guess!). I think that's not a word; at least it shouldn't be in the answer wordlist.

My wife once clicked "Skip" basically by accident — thinking that it would skip to the next square, or word, or something — and found that what it means is "Skip to the next puzzle," with (AFAIK) no way to get back your progress on the puzzle you just skipped. Which was disconcerting. But that mistake happens only once per player... unless they happen to fat-finger "Skip" when they meant "Hint", I guess! Maybe "Skip" should pop up a modal dialog, both explaining what it's proposing to do ("Give up and skip to the next puzzle? Yes / No") and also giving the player a fatter target for their next tap in case they tapped "Skip" by accident.

Another thing I've noticed myself having trouble with is when a group of letters contains duplicates: if the group is like "LLSS" and I want to fill them all in quickly, I find it most natural to double-tap "L" then double-tap "S", as opposed to tapping the first "L", the second "L", the first "S", the second "S". Right now, double-tapping doesn't work; it will put the first "L" in the first cell, then undo that and put the first "L" into the second cell instead. I think it should be able to figure out what I mean.

Similarly, if I've tapped the first "L" and the second "S" to fill the first two cells, and then for the third cell I tap the first "L" again, I think it should be smart enough to act as if I'd tapped the second "L". Because obviously I don't actually care which of the two "L"s fills that cell — equal letters are fungible as far as the player is concerned.

Oh, and it occurred to me to wonder: Is it possible by random chance that one of the letter-groups displayed at the bottom of the puzzle will happen to spell out something vulgar? (If you bother thinking about that issue at all, then I think you could address it by blacklisting certain letter-groups, i.e. shipping a blacklist of anagrams (or even partial anagrams) of vulgar words, instead of a list of vulgar words itself. Or if you sort each letter-group as "consonants first, then vowels," it probably never visibly forms a word.)
There's no such thing. There's 8 billion people on Earth, there's always something going on.

The difficulty that news outlets have isn't finding stuff going on, it's narrowing down that list to the most important things. The news is such a tiny snapshot of the important things going on in the world.

Take a look at this list, for instance -- how many of these have you seen mentioned in the news recently? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflict...

You could easily fill an entire newspaper just with stories about those conflicts. Then there's the entire rest of the world who isn't actively fighting wars. They're doing art, science, medicine, business, politics, sport, etc... every day. There are on average 2,000 thunderstorms happening on Earth at any moment. There's no shortage of news.
