Transient: a person who is staying or working in a place for only a short time.

I don't think most people mean someone is only temporarily homeless when they call them transients.

In the early days, we bailed out to manual resolution. In the later days, we had enough disparate data sources that we built oracles to choose which of the conflicting data was most likely to be correct.

For example, we integrated with a data source that used OCR to scan container numbers as they passed through various way points while they were on trains. The tech wasn't perfect. We frequently got reports from the rail data source that a train was, for example, passing through the middle of the country when we knew with 100% certainty that it was currently in the middle of the pacific ocean on a boat. That spurious data could be safely thrown out on logical grounds. Other cases were not as straightforward!
Yes, I remember now that having everything be uniform was one reason I stopped with the proportional faces in Emacs.

C++ has added a ton of great features since (especially C++11 onward) but run-time reflection is still sorely missed.
Fwiw, I wouldn't be surprised if the author of this article is a bit upset that Daniel hackermondev gained a significant % of the income that the author makes a year. If this was "fixed" by Zendesk, they would have paid less than a few % from the 50k they actually made.

Edit: to those downvoting, the fact of the matter is that Zendesk's maximum bounty is far lower than 50k; yet OP made 50k; meaning by definition the value of the vulnerability was at least 50k.

Both have been “on the roadmap” from day 1, with little progress.

Many open source projects put “we should make our system accessible to disabled vision issues” on the roadmap, depressingly few projects then actually do it.

Even latex, which in academic circles is famous for not having html output, nowadays produces more accessible output than typist.

Its also very important to slowly yell in this tense, when giving a public speech to more than 10 people. It doesn't matter if there is a mic or not, the words must carry with the wind and strike the hearts of all who hear it.

With a right handed mouse it’s hard to do Ctrl+Ins with my left hand. But it’s possible, I’ll admit. It’s just pretty suboptimal given how ergonomic Cmd+C is on a Mac keyboard (thumb on Cmd is way easier to reach for than pinky on ctrl, and reaching for ctrl+Ins is harder than either.)
You might like Graeber's book "The Dawn of Everything". He goes into some of the scientific historic reasons for why.
For v7, the last chunk of bits (rand_b) can be "pseudorandom OR serial". There is no flag bit that must indicate which approach was used.

Therefore, given a compliant UUIDv7 sample, it is impossible to interpret those bits. You can't say if they are random or serial without knowing the implementation, or stochastic analysis of consecutive samples. It's a black box.

The standard would be improved if it just said those bits MUST be uniquely generated for a particular timestamp (e.g. with PRNG or atomic counter).

Logically, that's what it already means, and it opens up interesting v8-style application-specific usages of those bits (like encoding type metadata in a small subset, leaving the rest random), while also complying with the otherwise excellent v7 standard.
I didn't get that either; not that obvious after all! I thought they were making a joke about vegan being a swear/taboo word, given the context of saying people don't want to hear of it because it allegedly threatens their morality
What a great story. I owe quite a bit to Judy-Lynn Del Rey, pretty much my entire upbringing. Even I noticed that if it had Del Rey on the binding it was likely to be good.
I was in San Francisco recently, and, okay, maybe San Francisco is special or something, but the public transport seemed basically fine? Insofar as it existed; coverage wasn’t great, but it didn’t seem particularly threatening where it existed.
Yep, warm start is the only way to go unfortunately. But I want a fast start from cold boot like classic vi.
Well, launcher is a very central part of your phone experience. I don’t think many people will change that just because they can.

Personally, this is one of the reasons I don’t like android anymore. You have to tweak it endlessly to make it halfway work. The platform’s management load is too much. I don’t want to manage and mangle another computer in my pocket. It wastes too much time.

GOG have also said they will help honour bequeathing your library if you leave it to someone and identify your username/email. Steam have expressed no such desire.

> "In general, your GOG account and GOG content is not transferable. However, if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we'd do our best to make it happen. We're willing to handle such a situation and preserve your GOG library—but currently we can only do it with the help of the justice system."
Well I went into the article expecting it to be the 143rd article in the ouroborous of articles that all reference each other and at the bottom of them all is that one single absolutely horrible WFH study that was done in Europe a few years ago, but I got stuck before even getting into the article.

The title: "Working From Home Is Powering Productivity" -> "X is Y".

The main headline: "A fivefold increase in remote work since the pandemic could boost economic growth and bring wider benefits" -> "X could Y".

Before even getting into the article they went from strongly claiming something to no longer claiming something but instead using a weasel word that could mean anything.

I could be the King of France. I could be 9 feet tall. Could doesn't mean anything.

Instantly closed the article, and not reading further.
>Coppola is 85. How many octogenarians are still creatively significant?

Can they even be in the eyes of the audience? I saw Megalopolis a few days ago and I think it's more creatively ambitious, weirder and interesting than a lot of the stuff he's made. But people even in principle won't grant this because of the narrative you describe.

People don't judge output by old artists on their own merits, they always project their age and biography on it regardless of the content. The reverse is also true, a lot of "young genius" work often isn't what it's made out to be, but the fact alone that some Wunderkind made it convinces the audience. David Foster Wallace I think is someone who heavily benefited from this. If a young artist made Megalopolis today as their first film I think it'd be framed very differently, but because of how much legacy Coppola and the movie have it's just not going to be treated the same way.
The problem is that you can't undo millennia of evolution that has pushed us towards the situation where people are obsessed with food and struggle to limit themselves. We also shouldn't forget that not more than a century ago famine and rationing was still commonplace. Certainly my parents were still raised in an environment that hadn't gotten used to food being plentiful and were always forced to eat everything they had at all times and rewarded with food, this has been engrained in myself since I was young as well. I'm lucky that I managed to move away and isolate myself and lose a lot of weight but the important thing to note is that once I got down to a lower weight, everything was easier, getting up in the morning, walking, jogging, working out, talking to people, going outside. Now I've probably gained back 30% of what I lost and if I could take Ozempic to lose 5kg the rest would come a lot quicker because I'd be able to run further and have more energy generally.

All that is to say, these two are not mutually exclusive and if people receive this drug everything we already do to promote a healthy lifestyle will become much more realistic for many people, as far as I understand Ozempic removes the desire of hunger, it's not like people can continue their bad habits and take the drug and lose weight. Furthermore once they assume these habits, the generational cycle of raising children and over indulging will likely come to an end and we will probably not need the drugs as much.

TL;DR, people want to be healthy, they just don't have the tools or motivation to do it. Losing weight will likely be a gateway to many health improvements and benefits for future generations
You need to overcommit for a while, then try doing it again for a few days.

Maybe do it more mindfully the next time? Like do something you have wanted to do alone for a long time, exactly the way you want to.

Or instead of eating poorly and staying in, get outside and hike?
How does it work, I didnt get another answer from an LLM which pretty much never respond without elaborating

Publishing rights.

Ironically, Apogee, Epic, and iD [0] and others got their fortunes by hacking the systems in place back then.

Apogee and Epic in their way, by doing 'shareware', however the final distributor was distributing the shareware [1] the had a chance to get a cut, and they were spreading the brand.

iD, when they did Doom, went even further. We easily forget that in the 90s, 'only' a 30% take from the publisher was nearly unheard of. When it came to retail I think it was almost inverted if not worse. Uploading to FTP and letting whoever distribute the shareware, then they got all the mail orders in and only had to pay their duplication/printing costs and recoup whatever other art costs were involved.

Publishers -can- provide value. I'll posit there's lots of titles I've only purchased because they showed up on a Steam/GOG feed.

[0] I think that's how you were supposed to type it back then, been a hot minute.

[1] Oh the 'Shareware store' is a thing I should blog about someday, in retrospect that place was weird lol.

This is just false. In the US, when public transport is good by the same measures as other countries use, such as frequency, coverage and so on, Americans use public transport just fine.

The real reason, rather then looking at the most basic surface level is actually the horrible land use planning and the horrible transportation and city engineering. This includes things like zoning, building regulation, environmental regulation and many other things.
What specifically are the “political shenanigans”? Do you have any evidence/links?

I personally don’t think studying earth is really what I want out of NASA. I would expect that funding to go towards study of space. For Earth, I would view that as more the job of the EPA or some other agency, and think it’s more appropriate for them to set aside funds for a satellite or whatever they need.

But yes it’s interesting to see where there are unexpected plumes. I suspect a lot of those are in third world countries where regulations and rule of law is worse, and it may be hard to address those effectively (except by subsidizing them). Sure there are some examples in the US, but the ones in the article seem much smaller in magnitude.
In general I disagree with what you're saying, there are still tons of programs that don't have any cloud syncing, plus not everyone wants to use that. There's also many WM/DEs that do not re-open running programs or keep window positions, including basically all the ones I use. Plus I also run many programs as different users, for privacy/isolation purposes, which no DE can handle in that case.

I also have historically (and still) had major issues with suspend/resume when a discrete GPU is involved or some other hardware device that linux can't resume properly, I always end up having to just reboot anyways which defeats the purpose.
That’s a wild take
I remember Brad deLong did back of the napkin analysis to determine how much a bart fare should be including the cost of freeways. It was minus $2.00 or something.
I respect your opinion, even though I disagree.

"But even the basic UX is terrible. The most blatant example of this is the choice to make the first text input on the search the target station."

This is just your preference and not terrible UX. In fact I find this the more intuitive way.
It was a valid debate back when travelling to the capitol took months by horse. Nowadays everyone uses services from other states on a daily basis, and possibly work in another state (with WFH) on a daily basis. It's pretty darn clear that the USA simply could not exist as a bunch of separate states anymore.

And frankly, states are already giving up their representation in the current system. If you're not a swing state, you're irrelevant. If you live in a populated state, you have a second-class vote.

If the USA had a modern voting system and anyone proposed the current pile of junk, they would be laughed out of the room.
zzzz, get a notebook, watch goat porn on that notebook only. problem solved.

>The conclusion followed comparisons of DNA samples from the tomb with others taken from one of Columbus’s brothers, Diego, and his son Fernando.

>The knottier question of the explorer’s precise origins will be revealed in Columbus DNA: His True Origin, a special TV programme shown on Saturday 12 October, the date when Spain celebrates its national day and commemorates Columbus’s arrival in the New World.

So if we've had DNA samples of his brother what was stopping us from finding out his "precise origins" earlier?
You can’t, basically. The copy key isn’t configurable for example, you’d need to rewrite the apps from source to achieve this. Some dynamically link to shared library UI toolkits that you could patch, others implement it themselves… it’d be a never-ending game of finding new broken apps and fixing them one by one (and that’s for open source apps, forget closed source ones.)

You could map Cmd to Ctrl but that only fixes copy/paste, but now it will send a SIGTERM to the terminal on Cmd-C now, which means that’s still a pain.

You could write some custom keyboard driver that intelligently maps the command keys to the right keys the app expects, dynamically based on some rules, but that sounds horribly brittle and likely unworkable.
I'd second this opinion – weight can be lost so easily by dropping the majority of carbs. By that I mean base one's nutrition on meat / fish / eggs / vegetables / fruit, with no pasta, no bread, no sweets, no cake, no chips/crisps, no biscuits / cookies etc (and no booze too, or at least keeping it very minimal or sporadic).

If you do 1000+ calories a day of exercise above your basic metabolic rate / consumption, you will lose 1kg/2lb per week. I'm doing this at the moment (and then will be continuing beyond) and it really does work. I do, however, have the luxury of spending 3-5 hours a day in the gym & fitness classes and swimming pool, and cycle there and back. My Apple Watch is amazing at tracking the calories burned in all these exercises, so I know that I'm burning 3500 - 4800 calories a day from exercise. It's trivial to then only eat around 2000-2500 calories a day. This can barely even be classified as a diet, just healthy choices.

The availability of cheap calories and easy carbs everywhere really is the peril of the western diet. Eating vegetables and protein is a little strange at first but the weight will drop off without having to feel hungry. Hence I'll be joining you in the blasphemy, but this really is a solution to excess weight and it's simple maths that cannot be cheated by the body – unless one has some kind of extreme medical condition, the body simply will not stay heavy while running a deficit and a high protein and low "lazy" carb diet. And I'm saying this as someone who has a decent amount invested in both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lily stocks...

Yet it seems that now these drugs exist, it's easier and quicker to take them as a fast track, because if you're 50kg / 100lb overweight, then to say to someone "you need to exercise quite a lot every day, while not eating cheap carbs, for a whole year and then continue beyond" it simply seems too difficult and hard.

I spent years riding public transit in Portland, NYC, Seattle, SF, San Diego, Chicago, and other US cities. I can tell you anecdotally that public transit in the US is dangerous and meant for the poors who don’t have their shit together to level up and commute via car.

Ride 8AM and 5PM every workday for a year and tell me that it’s safe when you roll through the bad parts of Long Island/ brooklyn/Queens or the south side of Chicago. Tell me that you don’t have to take the inconvenient early train because of nTh handicap ramp pickup or last-mile cyclist that slows down your commute. Security on transit only cares about fare collection. The US is not like Europe where there is some latent pride in your ancestors accomplishments.
I used to live in Toronto in 2019 to 2020 and used the transit exclusively.

I return as a visitor of Toronto every quarter for work and there are many times where I Uber instead of TTC because of these comments. Even slightly busy at 4-5 PM there's always folks who have hit the gym and skipped showering and most days there's "something" happening on the TTC.
Sounds like "youth is wasted on the young" :)

You know your perspective also works in reverse. When I was young I wanted time away from my parents. Now that they're gone, I would love to spend even 5 minutes with them.

balance is a never ending struggle.

It really depends on a lot of factors but I generally agree that many people vastly overestimate the time savings of taking a car.

And that's before we get into questions like "How many of your hours of paid work are required to make car payments, insurance payments, tag, title and maintenance?"
This action is astonishing in its malignity. At this point I'm simply hoping for Matt Mullenweg to be excruciated in court.
I hate to speculate, especially from a distance. But I do wonder:

- Why now? What snapped? Clearly WPE didn't go to "billions" over night. So why go nuclear now?

- Doesn't he have a close and immediate circle of advisors and confidants? Are they speaking to him and he's not listen? Or has he locked himself in a room so to speak and is completely unapproachable? Either way, not good.

- Is he trying to force WPE to fork WP and then maintain their own version? Does he believe they can't do it? What if WPE's hosting peers unite and abandon what is effectively Automattic's version?

Am I the only one who can't imagine a good outcome from all this?
> The same word applies to roads that do not pay for themselves through gas tax and/or tolls.

More or less all non-toll roads (and a few toll roads too). Which makes "applies" seems a bit pointless.
As someone who manages a bug bounty program, this kind of pisses me off.

For some of our bugs given on h1, we openly say, "Hey, we need to see a POC in order to get this to be triaged." We do not provide test accounts for H1 users, so, if they exploit someone's instance, we'll not only take the amount that the customer paid off of their renewal price, we'll also pay the bounty hunter.
Please don’t quote me out of context. The full quote is:

So then we should not be surprised at all that it’s so common for women to have an unrealistic picture of their prospects.

I was talking about the mechanisms for why women would have an unrealistic picture of their prospects. Much has been written about the unrealistic expectations of men which have been driven by mass media. It’s only fair to talk about the other side of the issue which has been largely ignored, by comparison.

But it’s not only the issue of expectations for dating. Young girls especially have been taught to have unrealistic expectations for their own appearance which has been driven by a ruthless set of social media algorithms that foster unhealthy comparisons (with celebrity influencers) across the entire internet.

Anyway, if you want to see what should be more realistic expectations, look at pictures of families from a hundred years ago or more. What will you see? Plain and ordinary people living simple lives. Nowadays people are taught to look at such lifestyles with revulsion. Instead, they live their lonely consumerist lifestyles in their tiny apartments.

You asked who all these lonely women are? They’re the friends of that guy’s wife from earlier in the thread. There are countless more women in the same situation.
Maybe but it’s also subsidizing travel for people, possibly increasing revenue for tourist spots and restaurants, it could keep people from buying a new ICE vehicle etc. It seems like one of those things that has a lot of benefits outside the immediate situation.
