I live in a place where it often rains, and I really love sunny weather. It makes me feel a bit down when I see that it's already dark by the time I get off work. I was wondering, since the Earth's revolution is taken into account, the time you get should be different every day, right?
So in Europe for a long time, tap to pay was normally via _card_, not phone. I don’t think there was a common phone-based EMVish standard before Apple and Google Pay came out (there were a few weird stored value things), but tap-able EMV cards showed up around 2007 (again, there were various local and national proprietary stored value cards before that, but in most cases they never really caught on).

Another factor may be that American card terminals were traditionally quite slow, or at least vendors rarely prioritised speed (I have no idea _why_ this was the case, but it definitely seems to have been the case). Tap to pay really works best if the auth can happen within a second or so.
It was literally a complete bookshelf completely full for the docs.
One limiting factor: the government-produced software will be open source. So the barriers for innovation will be significantly lower for _everyone_.

Right now, I can't fix that one small bug in Notion that keeps bothering me. I have to raise an issue and hope that they add the API required to do that. In the case of open source base produced by the government, I can make a small (perhaps paid) add-on with that functionality.
Tuition is around 21% of their revenue and the endowment is 37%. That corresponds to around a 4.8% withdrawal rate currently which would go up to around 7% if they covered tuition. And 7% is probably too high to do in perpetuity.
> I prefer using the mouse mostly because I cannot remember all of the shortcuts in a range of different environments.

This is why one of the greatest changes in power user tooling in recent years is the "find anywhere" hotkey, which is now available almost everywhere.

Mouse interaction is slow and hardly a panacea for finding features buried in menus. "Find anywhere" type interactions with fuzzy search allow you to use they keyboard and highly mnemonic abbreviations to turn up what you're looking for. With a few exceptions, I tend to lean on them even for things that I use regularly, because it's easier to learn which few keystrokes will turn up the option I'm looking for than it is to rebind a fresh hotkey in each environment or, as you say, memorize the built-in one.
I prefer to spend my energy thinking about what I want instead.

Even if it would make no difference in the world, it still makes me happier.

But it does make a (BIG) difference, thoughts direct energy and energy manifests reality.

Heh, gotta love boot-strapping! Like the C compiler that's written in C... At BARD Tracker, we used BARD Tracker to track features and bugs for BARD Tracker, aka, "dog-fooding". We are very happy with the results! It's proving to be an invaluable tool while we continue to build and develop it. :)
I don't think the good ones go unnoticed.

You remember what you learned from good managers, and you remember how bad managers made you feel. Benign ones could be replaced by an LLM.

Powering on the SSD does nothing. There is no mechanism for passively recharging a NAND flash memory cell. You need to actually read the data, forcing it to go through the SSD's error correction pipeline so it has a chance to notice a correctable error before it degrades into an uncorrectable error. You cannot rely on the drive to be doing background data scrubbing on its own in any predictable pattern, because that's all in the black box of the SSD firmware—your drive might be doing data scrubbing, but you don't know how long you need to let it sit idle before it starts, or how long it takes to finish scrubbing, or even if it will eventually check all the data.

It seems unlikely you are spending $30k on child at the same time as you are sending kids to college. Not many families have such an age gap.

Getting a mortgage that is 40% of your income is fairly irresponsible (I’m sure it does happen though). You also didn’t count property tax which is probably like $20k

What does it mean to "temporarily revoke" a diploma? It seems like you either earned it or you didn't. Measures like expulsion and suspension might interrupt ongoing bad behavior with the consequence that people can't then finish earning their diplomas—but once they're earned, how does it make sense that they're retrospectively un-earned?

It feels like such a mobster mentality—the diploma doesn't mean anything with respect to objective achievements, it's just a mark of someone powerful's favor, and you'd better stay in their favor...

Can you clarify, are you sympathetic of the person who thinks they wouldn't get an answer from the other team, or are you saying the person was wrong to not just ask the other team?

Asking since I've been in the situation many a time where the other team is too busy to reply in a timely fashion, and/or they don't even know the answers to my question, so I end up having to reverse engineer it.
> But despite its name, OpenVMS is still actually not open.

This is a very anachronistic complaint - DEC renamed VMS to OpenVMS in 1992, and at the time “open” had nothing to do with “open source” since that phrase wasn’t even coined until 1998.

In 1992, “Open” meant “open standards”/“open systems” - support for industry standards instead of proprietary ones - most importantly POSIX. VMS became OpenVMS when it acquired POSIX compatibility. And other vendors used the same branding-IBM offered mainframe POSIX compatibility under the names OpenEdition (MVS) and OpenExtensions (VM)
"There are many people" is a useless platitude to any number of people who fall through the cracks.

Personally I had to wait until I was 25 to get some loans I needed to finally finish a degree, because my family was paper rich, wasn't paying anything, but was still on speaking / visiting terms with me. The system doesn't accept that as an answer; you have to show an extreme degree of alienation / separation (I can't remember the specifics, but a loan counsellor basically told me to give up).
Harvard has an endowment of about $55 billion dollars. Student population is about 22,000. At an industry standard 4% drawdown, they could provide $88,000 of “aid” to every student indefinitely.

If you exclude foreign students and make them pay a full ride, or change that cap to a family net worth of <$5M, you could easily cover everybody else.
One simple difference that jumps out to me straightaway is the a gaping gulf between "decided to check it out" and "wrote down the names of everyone there and stuck it in a state-owned filing cabinet"

The pattern and music I got felt like waking up on a groggy Saturday morning, as a very young child in the 90s, with not a care in the world and in a world where things were generally going pretty good. Any moment you expect your youthful mom to call you down for breakfast, to eat colorful cereal with siblings and watch bright funny cartoons, before going outside to act out adventures in the yard, and wow it feels like so much time goes by but then it’s just 10 AM, the day seems to take forever.

I didn't comment specifically about GPs intent. I am referring to the use of the word by a larger group. I have no idea what GPs intent is but I have a pretty clear idea why the word was adopted by the anti-Israeli antisemitic propaganda machine.

Your question is answered here in fair depth: https://www.ajc.org/sites/default/files/pdf/2021-10/A%20Guid...

On top of that a few tests we can apply:

- Are Jewish people judged to a different standard than others?

- Is the pattern similar to historical persecution of the Jewish people, specifically in this case we're talking about blood libels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel

- Follow the money or literally find the source of the accusation. Is the source clearly antisemitic? Then the accusation is likely antisemitic.

Let's say you are or might be a serial killer. How should I talk about it without offending you? Just asking.

If for example Israel was setting up gas chambers and systemically killing all the Palestinians in the middle east that would be pretty hard to hide. If you have no evidence you're going to go down the road of interpreting the genocide convention to fit your agenda, misrepresenting the ICC ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq9MB9t7WlI ), making up things, cherry-picking statements by Israeli officials and ignoring ones that don't suit your agenda. etc. The simplest explanation here that holds water is that we have a war during which we have civilians casualties.
Photoshop has enjoyed the positive bias that comes from almost universal ubiquity, and all the support they will receive online or from friends. Colloquially, "Photoshop" just means to edit an image. "Gimp" could be something quite rude to anyone who isn't familiar with the software.
You can’t fund all this stuff only by taxing “the super wealthy.” The math just doesn’t math. That’s why every developed country that has free college also has heavy taxes on middle and upper middle class people.
Though I haven't seen stats to back it up - I've heard from multiple sources that thumbnails which include a gigantic bobblehead of the author with a particularly exaggerated stupid looking expression on their face induce more people to click through.

Even if it's for the sake of feeding the algorithm, I do my best to skip them.

The idealized (Science 1) / realpolitik (Science 2) dichotomy is both real and at first depressing. I also did a PhD in machine learning, and became quite disillusioned after seeing how the sausage was made, and how different the process is from how I had imagined it. At the same time -- engaging in 'game change' within Science 2 (perhaps not as a PhD, but after you have some security), is I think one of science's highest moral callings. The aim is not necessarily to inch Science 2 towards an impossible Science 1, but to help science to take itself more seriously (it really is a messy social process & there are ways that social process can work better or worse towards the public good -- itself a scientific question) -- and contribute towards science 2 becoming a better (and ideally better-at-self-improving) science 2.

A very confusing aspect of the US college system is that very few students pay the full sticker price.

At Harvard, that 'very few' is 45%. From the article:

About 55% of Harvard undergraduates receive some type of financial aid, according to the university.

You say:

but it allows universities to admit a much wider range of students than they normally would.

The high sticker prices combined with variable discounts aren't there to change the pool of students. Their purpose is to ensure that each student (or their family) pays close to the maximum they'd be willing to pay.

Do you like it when you visit a SaaS product's pricing page and it says 'call for pricing'?

Well, how about if it was totally normal that, before a SaaS provider was willing to quote you a price, you had to provide them with a list of your assets and a copy of your most recent tax return?
At this point its market forces not really any sense of desire for clean energy that doesn't emit CO2. Green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels and getting cheaper every year, burning old dinosaur juice and trees just doesn't make any economic sense any more for producers.

If you want to be exposed to that declining production and increasing price market of fossil fuels then off grid with a generator is the opt out answer along with what will become a antique car you'll be maintaining yourself because your grid power is already coming increasingly from the Sun and Wind and everyone is building EVs because they are cheaper. $'s win every time.
why dont they increase class sizes
I think the US Defense Industry will still dominate weapon sales in the near future but, if Europe truly is serious about rearming itself and spending those Euro domestically to build out its defense industry, this will hurt the US Defense Industry and make their programs less cost-effective, increasing the tax burden on all Americans.

Building systems where the economics of scale matter, customers sharing the cost keeps prices in check. It's why the F35 costs what it does, enough countries bought in to help share the expense and drive down the price. If it's only the US it will increase the price of everything across the entire defense industry and product line as Europe pivots to its defense industry.

I hope Europe does, the world needs a strong and powerful Europe.

Right - when I heard the ZFS announcement at Usenix I assumed it’d become standard a decade later when consumer hardware could handle the extra work, but it seems to have been sandbagged by the rise of cloud storage and the switch to SSDs reducing the frequency where people get corrupted data instead of all-or-nothing failures.

Apple claims that their hardware makes it unnecessary for APFS but I’m skeptical and the last time I looked the Time Machine situation was still pretty clunky. I haven’t checked Windows recently since I only use Linux and macOS.

> we are not proposing full communism where we confiscate all their money.

That's exactly what is usually being proposed - the difference is confiscating everything slowly over decades (rather than by immediate revolution).

The deception is that a 2% tax sounds tiny. If you have a retirement portfolio and are withdrawing money to live (drawdown) then that 2% can easily take > 50% of your wealth over decades. Financial literacy is understanding the power of compounding - yet when it is in reverse it isn't obvious. And when the victims are somebody else (people wealthier than yourself) we conveniently shut our ears to any complaints.

Ironically I think the core motivations of most proponents of wealth taxes are their own greed and envy. Tax anybody else but not moi...

The systematic driver is our aging demographics. Our governments need new taxes to pay for the infinite demand of health services, and the demands of the voting 65yo+ welfare state beneficiaries

You're just describing every allocator in the world, except many (most?) skip the zeroing part.

libc already does that. What is it that yours is adding?

I'd say 25 years ago you could write your own naive allocator, make just a couple of assumptions for your use case, and beat libc. But no more.

One of the selling points of Java in the 90s was the compacting part. Because in the 90s fragmentation was a much bigger problem than it is today. Today the libc allocators have advanced by maybe tens of thousands of PhDs worth of theory and practice. Oh, and we have 64bit virtual address space, which helps with some (but not all) of the problems with memory fragmentation.

See this post from Ian Lance Taylor about why Go didn't even bother with a compacting GC: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/KJiyv2mV2pU?pli=1
In a sense isn't that exactly what OP is saying is happening today? Only the super wealthy actually pay the sticker price on college, everyone else is subsidized by some combination of taxpayer-funded grants, scholarships (usually provided by the super wealthy), or just straight-up discounts (covered by the wealthy students paying full price).

Almost everywhere? I'd love to see a list of other examples.

The only place I can name is the vscode Ctrl-Shift-P thing, and in that case it's a wholesale replacement for an explorable/discoverable UI (i.e. traditional menu bar).

Sure there are search boxes in other places, but usually that's literally for finding things, not for performing application domain commands/actions/manipulations, which is what I understood the parent to be describing.

No, it just means executives want to add AI to things. So many of these "But with AI" are not lead by customers but by executives wanting to make sure their product isn't seen as behind the times.
