How about using it each day for the food that you actually eat that day? That's generally the point of meal allowances.
> And if the question was asked the answer had nothing to do with the company's mission? That's amazing

No offense, are you being for real? Do you think a single employee gives even the faintest of a fuck about the company's mission?

Everyone bullshits it. We all know, and understand, that when you're asked questions like that you say what people want to hear.

People work for exactly one thing, money. The trick is making the money in the least expensive way - expenses being time, energy, and health. It's all fun going to an office 5 days a week until you're old, fat, and your smoking habit has caught up to you. And now what? You die feeling like you did the last 30 years of your life: shit.

Who will remember you? I won't. Your coworkers won't. The company as a whole won't. And what did you gain?

Everything in life is a game of cost analysis. If you're not prioritizing yourself and your own cost analysis, you're a sucker. There're people making more money than you, who are MUCH happier, who work less, and are healthier. Do you want to continue a life of jealousy and self-hatred? Or, will you demand better for yourself? Ultimately, nobody else cares, so you don't have to bother answering. This is just food for thought.
> Use EPUB file format and your books will work on all devices, including Kindle.

My Kindle won't open EPUB files, only AZW3. But it is easy to convert with Calibre.

The rest is true in my experience. Loading non-DRM AZW3 books works fine; Kindle doesn't magically add DRM to them nor delete them.

If you're getting books from Amazon with DRM, you don't need to sideload them!
Why is a hard question.

And what should be obvious or it’s still too complex.
He's missing one very good technique that works for me.

Decide that there is 1 thing, and only 1 thing, that you want to get done today. Ideally it should be something that can be accomplished in less than 30 minutes. Bonus if it can be done in less than 10.

Do it. Maybe you need 20 minutes to get started, maybe you need an hour. Maybe you just can't bring yourself to do it. Give yourself 5 minutes to wallow in the emotion of not wanting to. Take a deep breath, and then proceed to do the thing.

This may not work if the 1 thing is deceptively complicated or fractal. So take care that the thing is actually actionable. Yak shaving can help to get you out of a lazy spiral, but it has a strong tendency to lead to further demoralization.

When you have accomplished the 1 thing. You are done. You are done for the day.

Don't cheat. Don't make this 1 thing inconsequential, like making a list, then crossing off the first task of making the list. Sometimes the list is the most important thing to get done, so that can be ok, but you know when it's not. The thing should be something that brings you closer to something better. A better future for yourself, even if the better future is no longer having to think about the task.

Since you are now done for the day... you can stop. Chances are you won't want to. Chances are, after a short break, you can repeat the process.

Now, one caveat. If this is successful, you must stop early for the day. This is important, because, there is a good chance that there is a reason you're in a lazy spiral. It's probably because you are overworked. People greatly underestimate the amount of calories the brain burns. They also greatly underestimate the amount of time neuronal reuptake requires for hard tasks. You need rest, and the "I don't wannas" are an emotional protection for your brain. The problem is, this technique can be so effective for some people, that you just keep going long past when you should stop. If you do that you are setting yourself up for failure tomorrow, where you will likely be similarly mentally tired.

He does mention the reset in the article. A new day is a chance to break the cycle. This is also fine advice, since there's a good chance you may just need a proper mental break day. What I like about my technique, is that often there is something that is high on a list of things that need to be done to allow for a project or life goal to continue to make progress. It will continue to weigh on you and drain you mentally if you don't give it some attention. By making some small progress, it's much easier to proceed to actually allow yourself to properly rest.
Constrained Design Processes: Steps Towards Convivial Computing (1988) [pdf]
Back when MOBI was still the primary format for Kindles, it would actually allow you to upload .mobi files directly via Send to Kindle.

These days it wants ePub only, but things also seem to "just work", and I always assumed it's because they added support for it on device side. What are the issues that you ran into?
Now I can fight with the awful UX of managing windows within the window, too.
Post WW2 history does not treat kindly the kinds of atrocities currently being committed by Israel. I don’t know of any state which actually survived being a perpetrator of a genocide (at least not as a continuation of a functioning state). Khmer Cambodia did not, Rwanda did not. The closest is probably Serbia (but they were merely complicit of a genocide committed Republika Srpska which now only exists as a part of Bosnia-Herzegovina) or Indonesia (which survived as a dictatorship before transforming to Democracy in a revolution 15 years after the East-Timor genocidal rampage; a revolution largely caused by the genocidal behavior).

If Israel is going to follow the pattern of perpetrators of modern genocide it will either voluntarily change, be invaded and forced to change, or hang on as a dictatorship for a couple of decades and change in a revolution. In any case an Israel as we know it would have to be a historic first if it would persist as this pseudo democratic apartheid state as we know it today for the next two decades. In other words—looking at history—chances are very much in favor of Israel dissolving.
The article doesn't mention their role but if someone is fired over $25, can we really justify that they were ever worth a $400k salary?
> But again, Jank is not clojure .. just clojure-like, or so it seem

jank is Clojure. If it works on Clojure JVM and it works on ClojureScript, it should generally work on jank. Clojure doesn't have a language specification, but the community knows what a proper Clojure should feel like. Strong Clojure compatibility means anything outside of interop should just work. Naturally, interop on Clojure is very host-specific; Clojure JVM does one thing, ClojureScript does another, Clojure CLR does a third thing.

> That being said, what would be the benefits of a native clojure, you have common-lips and guile if you want native

At this point, we'd be discussing the benefits of Clojure over CL and Guile, which ends up being a different discussion. jank is for Clojure devs who want a native host and good native interop. It's also for native devs who want to introduce interactive programming and FP into their systems.
I think it's a bit of word play. 苺 (strawberry) and 一語 (one word) are both read "Ichigo".
I was thinking about that, I’ll experiment by adding a .torrent file :)
they are allowed to do that for the folks that produce the goods of course, it just makes a lot harder to retain the said idiots.
I didn't see anything on the landing page that implied free software / open source.
Spotify and Apple Podcasts use RSS feeds to update what they show in their apps. And even if millions of people weren't dependent on it, suggesting that an infrastructure provider not fix a bug only makes the web worse.
You are right, it's the terrible docker experience that really seals the deal. Or the fact that to run Linux you have to rely on a small group that is trying to will it into existence without any support from Apple.
The fact that the Teams interface changes now and then, does not help. I had a few times messages from other chats while being in a video meeting. Accidentally logging out of the meeting is just a click away.

That said, people complain a lot about Microsoft's software but the whole integration of Teams with the rest of the 365 suite (collaboration tools etc) still is superior to anything else I've used.
It is. Every now and then when we have guests at home we bring out the board and it is an immediate success. Age does not seem to matter, I have played with people between 10 to 80 years old everyone gets the mechanics within a few minutes.

Highly recommended!
It's got the best vendor lock-in enshittification story - it's free - and that's all that matters.
The issue here is there's sort of a missing middle. The main cloud provides offer physical security without you needing fedRAMP etc.,.
IMO it is inevitable that this technology will be turned against Americans if it hasn't already been. I'm sure they do some good but a large part of their value is an socio-political arbitrage where they're allowed to do things that would be absolutely unpalatable for the government to do directly.
Isn't it difficult to actually analyze the RAM content for any sensitive data? There is so much noise in it
> Your mention of novels and emotion is a false equivalence because novels are richly authored, edited and long form.

It is not a false equivalence but rather a statement that there isn’t anything inherent about text that makes it devoid of emotional quality.

For people who aren’t reading between the lines: we need to get better at writing. My over all point is, in large part, about that. That the denizens of internet who have been around for decades already possess this skill because they have, I would hope, successfully applied it and shipped (in my example) open source software as a distributed text based communication team.
But I already have a desktop interface... my browser is running in it.
I mean, as the other member of the Wintel ecosystem, they have to believe Intel is wholly to blame for it failing apart, right? Evidence be damned.

Dang Intel CPUs, terrible battery performance when paired with an OS that just randomly cranks the CPU up every couple seconds for no user-serving reason.
Who is "we" in this context? This thread is descended from people complaining about American policies and speculating that Biden is trying to make us into the USSR. The US is not Austria and never had fines for being unvaccinated. Vaccine mandates themselves were never federal and can't be. It's up to individual businesses and schools and what not to decide if they care. The government itself only ever mandated vaccines for its own employees. Lockdowns were similarly never federal and mostly on a city by city basis. Some cities hardly anyone was out on the street ever and in-person services businesses were closed for a long time. In other cities, virtually nothing changed at all outside of maybe a few months immediately after March 2020. Where I live, Dallas had a "lockdown" for like three months. This ended way before Ukraine was invaded.
Apple's custom ARM chips is definitely one of the things that does make Apple better. Low power, low/no noise, and high performance.
Add me to the list. Fortunately there's great progress being made getting Linux on the Volterra Windows Dev Kits from 2023.
Ahh, that makes sense. I actually refuse to play CoD and other games where kits/devices give you superpowers like this. Call me oldfashion but Counter Strike style competition, where everything is relatively balanced along the same curve more or less, is the only type of fps I can play.
A small word of warning: I'm speaking with brutal honesty, extreme language is used (unfortunately I have to, it's the truth). Throwaway for obvious reasons. I tweaked the parameters a bit, it's representative of my case but not my actual case.

I'm going for a CR-1 visa. I married the love of my life a month ago. We knew each other for a year when we married. I thought it'd be fine but I gave it some more thought and I'm a bit worried.

My worries:

* I had suicidal ideation and did visits to a psychiatry center once per week for a month until I was fine enough according to them. I have never physically hurted myself. I never planned it. My issue was that I felt a strong urge to plan it, and I didn't want to cave in which I didn't thanks to the psychiatry center. In retrospect, I realized I was in a really toxic relationship, once that was gone there was no suicidal ideation left.

* I do have an autism diagnosis that I got a few months ago at the age of 36.

* My employment history is checkered. My last employment was almost 2 years and then the tech layoffs hit, so outside of my control (second round of layoffs too).

Good things:

* My education is top notch with high marks, I even published a paper

* No criminal record

* 50000$ in the bank

* Coming from Sweden

* My wife has a stable job for 4 years, no criminal record, university educated, etc. (I don't think there are any issues there)

Will the suicidal ideation episode, autism diagnosis and checkered employment history be an issue for the CR-1 visa when I get my medical?
RSS is an essential component to modern web publishing and it feels scary to see how one company’s inconsideration might harm its already fragile future. One day cloudflare will get big enough to be subject to antitrust regulation and this instance will be a strong data point working against them.
> I didn't find anything (yet) that I consider an actual improvement.

Serious question: has there (ever?) been any, since say, Windows 2000?

Some progress has been made with regards to stability, but other than that? Usability hasn't improved and i'd consider Windows 10 and especially 11 extremely user hostile and full of spying.
It's not fine to say No because even though you might qualify for the H-1B1 visa, this requires employer sponsorship; the H-1B1 visa is to work for a specific employer.
At least in my experience doing meetings by video allows people to schedule back-to-back-to-back which gets tiring whether in person or not. In the days of having a walk or a drive between all meetings I think that also served as a good pause to reset. Limiting meeting load and doing a very brief walk or some garden chore between is just as good even if they're all video.
Ubuntu released a special version for the SXE chip that specifically listed the Thinkpad 14s as the best-supported PC with the chip.
I think this depends on the adversaries you're concerned about. It's unlikely that breaking into a DC and dumping memory is going to be worth it without a very high expected payout. For one, you'd need very high technical expertise.
Cheaters pay extra money to cheat. They are not price conscious consumers. They know what exactly they want (magic abilities in a specific playground) and are willing to pay to get it.

Price will never stop them, without at least gutting your legitimate market from being way too expensive.
>Demomen on the other hand use an aimbot so they can hit you with those parabolic projectiles in the face, even if you're behind a wall and they can't see you at all.

Hilarious, and shitty.
Not the original commenter, but "Own back your data & software" to me reads as if self-hosting is supported, at minimum. There doesn't seem to be an option to download the server software, however.
While this is mostly true, the "trust the jurisdiction" is hard to apply here. They operate their PoPs in over 120 countries, so it's close to "do you trust all countries?" - it's a completely different model than trusting an AWS region for example.
Unit tests as documentation have proven their worth over the years.

For example this recent feature was added through unit test as documentation.

I don't think it'd be too hard to find something like private RSA keys in memory, for example.
It's a demonstration project to show how a renewable powered system can cope with weeks of bad weather. If deep decarbonization doesn't actually require weeks of storage, not many systems like this will get built in the future. But if they are required at least we'll know how to build them.
Far from it. This is the game that turns your calm book-and-armchair grandpa into a wild competitive lunatic. It turns your sweet auntie into a table-flipping animal. It's up there with Euchre for turning old people into unhinged gamers, and I absolutely love it for that.

I don't think it's possible to remove information about yourself from a webpage before you share it. It's always possible to have crafted a website that sneaks reflected session information or the instance of archivebox's IP address into the main content. This can be a real response:

> And that was this week's newsletter! Congratulation for reading to the bottom, dear 198.51.100.1.

Even if the archivebox instance noted its own IP to do a search-and-replace like s|198\.51\.100\.1|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX| on the snapshot it is about to create, it's possible to craft a response that obscures the presence of the information, such as by encoding the IP like this: MTk4LjUxLjEwMC4xCg==. I.e. steganography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography).

Being able to anonymize archives before sharing them is something I would find interesting, but I don't think you can beat steganography, so I'm wondering what exactly you mean you plan to do.
What? There is no pulling energy from different dimensions here - it's pulling it from the angular rotational energy.
By this logic every class other than pure math involves a “priestly caste” because teaching involves decisions about what to cover and how to do so. In reality, what happens is that professionals in the field set standards for what should be covered and those are periodically reviewed and updated, and what keeps that from being the exercise in dogma which you appear to be worried about is having that process and the results public. The problem with priests occurs when they’re given special privileges without accountability, and that’s far less of a concern when, say, the standard is “a panel of experts recognized in the field accepted this standard after public comment” than “$DEITY says you have to do it my way, no questions”.

Put another way, real engineers, doctors, scientists who work with human subjects, lawyers, finance people, etc. do not seem to have a conceptual hazard from professional ethics codes. Why would we expect software development to be so different?
While cell-based services make sense for critical applications, not all services require this approach from a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) perspective. In practice, I've observed that companies often adopt an all-or-nothing approach to cell-based services, resulting in inflated COGS, increased operational overhead, and unnecessary complexity.
First, the Palestinian territories have not been under occupation for 75 years.

Only in its internal propaganda. The UN and even Israel's strongest allies consider all 4 areas to be occupied, and illegally so.

(With Gaza one try to could quibble that there was no "effective" occupation from 2005-2023, but even that was never true in regard to control of Gaza's borders).

I'm not speaking to the point - I'm speaking to right and wrong.

If it's wrong to use it on a tube of toothpaste because that's stealing, then it must surely be right to instead buy the maximum food and throw it away. Therefore, people should do that.

If that sounds wrong to you, then the initial assumption might not be correct. Maybe it's not so bad to buy the tube of toothpaste.

Constraining yourself to extremely hard and fast rules seems like a good idea on the surface. But it's all about incentives. I can easily make the company bleed much more money while being within their rules. So why even bother?

A touch of leniency and common sense goes a long way.
Got a board a year ago and love it, a friend tried it once and bought a board too. I'm tempted to get one delivered to my parents and in-laws, so we can all play when I go out to visit. It's so simple to teach, and yet there's a ton of room for improving simply by playing. Any time we have people over, the board eventually comes down off the wall, and the first-timers get a quick lesson.
Why just unit tests? Integration tests seem much more valuable as documentation of what the users will do in the app. Unit tests have limited benefits overall, and add a bunch of support time, slowing down development. If you have good (90%+) coverage just from integration tests, you are likely doing 90%+ coverage of the unit tests at the same time, without the extra effort or support burden. You can use the same reasoning to describe the benefits for understanding the code, you get a clear understanding of the important usage cases, plus you get the unit-level "documentation" for free.
Yes latency in practice is often higher than a second. Even in-person I must be careful not to barge in conversations and cutting off people, but latency makes it much worse. If you are in a larger group, one tends to not say anything to the group spontaneously because it always feels like cutting in.
Your sentence makes as much, arguably more sense if you erase the word "ARM".
Bureaucracy and useless classes are major drivers of the insane increase in higher ed costs. "The average cost of college tuition & fees at public 4-year institutions* has risen 141% over the last 20 years." Student debt was $300 billion in 2000 and it is now closer to $2 trillion. Starting in 2009, the median graduate had more student loan debt 10 years post graduation than at the time they graduated. It beggars belief to claim that administrative bloat and mission drift are not major variables of the current student loan crisis. And your proposal is to do more of it?

In terms of parents not being qualified, who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to say who is and is not qualified to instruct their own in morality? It is an entirely subjective topic and certainly should not be given over to corrupted institutions. Moreover, do you really believe folks like Elizabeth Holmes, Jeff Skilling, SBF (whose mother is a legal ethicist!!), and all the nameless, white-shoed McKinsey criminals haven't received "ethical" instruction in their coursework? And how has that panned out? SBF is a particularly great example as his mother, who you would no doubt have deemed "qualified", reared one of the worst criminals of this generation.

Let the universities focus on the efficient discovery and dissemination of truth, and discard the wasteful, useless mis-education. Fire 90% of the admins, and tie student lending to financial outcomes of students. All of the grievance studies degrees that purport to provide ethical and moral training would vaporize overnight!

> Pointing people at unit tests instead of writing docs: not even remotely ok.

Couldn't agree more

I'm trying to integrate with a team at work that is doing this, and I'm finding it impossible to get a full picture of what their service can do.

I've brought it up with my boss, their boss, nothing happens

And then the person writing the service is angry that everyone is asking him questions about it all the time. "Just go read the tests! You'll see what it does if you read the tests!"

Incredibly frustrating to deal with when my questions are about the business rules for the service, not the functionality of the service
