The tool that is supposed to make programmers obsolete is causing an ongoing outage. Reality these days is much more ironic than I am capable of imagining.
I had a slow realization that I could just let people jump in. My goal is to maintain a constant speed and never have to hit the brakes, and I can usually still do that regardless of whether people jump line.
But yes, the principle of it is incredibly aggravating ("that space is for safety, not YOU, green Acura!!!") but I actually kinda like the practice of trying to be zen about it. I mostly get through a long trip at the same rate :)
The problem for me is when an icon is repeated many times on a page, such as once per row. The word quickly becomes redundant, and the repetition looks ugly.
I haven't found a good general solution to that. Hover doesn't work on mobile. A legend map is hard to locate. "Expert mode" introduces new problems.
Sometimes I'll just use an unlabeled button and make whatever it is undoable, so that users can just click and discover. But that's hostile to completely new users.
While I agree that SuperDuper! is worth buying, it is free to use for whole-disk backup/cloning. The paid version enables smart copying (that is, only copying files changed since the last backup).
To build “a decentralized network of autonomous, self-improving AI agents that perform real-world tasks for the good of humanity.”
I am guess that at some point the chat window will somehow tie-in with agents. People will never leave the front page.. it'll say something like: "Would you like me to buy that product for you?" And then some crypto function will come in and handle the finances. I guess that's the power 4:
chat window (inference)
agents (platform)
transaction (blockchain)
superbowl ad (marketing)
Even a dedicated device may eventuate too for the masses.
If anything I'm more 'radical' pushing 50 than I was at 20. That "everyone gets more conservative as you age" adage is not universal.
For me I was 'radicalized' by raising children to adulthood and seeing the broken world we're leaving to them. Living in the US, my eldest daughter has less rights than her mother did growing up. Capitulating to the demands of fascists is not the way to a better future. Complacency has a high cost, regardless of whether it affects you personally.
Right, I haven't had many fracture but it was more than I expected. I've had some come apart (completely—shear off). One I recall fixing (replacing the reed) with a piece cut from a phosphor bronze shim several thou thick (I had various thicknesses). Replacing the reed was easy but voicing was a problem because p-bronze has different properties to the original. It was a long while ago so I can't remember exactly what I did but it worked—sort of. I eventually got it roughly in tune but it was a different volume to the others.
About two weeks ago I was up at my old family home for the first time in years and there are two harmoniums dating from the the mid to late 19th C. which I meant to fix years ago. The woodwork on one is particulary ornate and in excellent condition. They both have dead keys when I played them. Reckon I've some wok cut out for me. .
Hi, nice work, its pretty simple and easy to use. I've often found new artists from one-off song collaborations eg Devonte Hynes from Solange's single Losing You. No connection between them is indicated from my minimal use of the site. But that's from the data feed (MusicBrainz) from what I gather, and adding such functionality may increase complexity. Would love to get a quick playlist from all the nodes in a neighbourhood so I could listen quickly. Keen to see where it goes.
This almost always happens when you are in the passing lane, and you are not passing. It’s much more rare in the right lane. Mythbusters, and also other traffic studies, show that returning to the right lane on the freeway whenever possible adds almost no time to a trip.
Honestly, we could make a case that witch-hunting and persecutions were pro-science.
Witches and "cunning folk" are people who use metaphysical, occult means of spirituality to influence people and the environment. Witchcraft does not appear, to the dispassionate observer, to be scientific, evidence-based, or empirical at all.
Christendom was in the business of supporting many liberal arts and sciences, in terms of architecture, literacy, mathematics, chemistry/alchemy, exploration, R&D and building of war materiels and sea vessels.
It was the witches who were meddling and using occult means, such as divination, augury, psychological manipulation, and treachery to achieve their ends. It was witchcraft that was chaotic and working against orderly scientific inquiries about the natural world.
The witches were typically working clandestinely, stereotypically in a little hut in the woods, in the shadows. The scientists of Christendom were founding and running universities, seminaries, hospitals, and other institutional centers of learning. They were highly organized and orderly endeavors, and witchcraft threatened the natural and political order of things, which seems to be what science represents, even to the present day.
This is exactly the missing piece. I've been copying code back and forth between terminal and editor, mentally tracking which lines need changing. The diff-as-conversation model makes so much more sense. Will give this a shot with my workflow.
As the privacy advocates warned for, what, a decade now?
Who needs the Chinese surveillance system when adtech companies will create mass surveillance for their own profit that the government can use for free?
The problem isn't deporting illegal immigrants, the problem is revoking legal status, abusing detainees, hurting people on the street, and the occasional murder.
The debt cycle causes short term upward and downward inflation spirals, but overall the inflation is caused by total money supply multiplied by the ratio that the debt is allowed to be compounded to. the ratio is determined by both current regulations regarding loaning practices and the interest rate.
Given that these were constant then then inflation is just a ratio of Productivity(how much things cost) to total money supply (money printing).
So if the government just prints a similar amount of cash relative to the supply as the percentage productivity increase then we get a constant value of for the dollar.
In practice though a small amount of inflation is good in a currency as it encourages spending, if you have deflation this can cause people to speculate on holding cash and not engage in commerce which lowers productivity and thus can cause even more inflation itself.
The real problem is that wages are not growing at the same rate as inflation meaning wealth is being transferred from the working class to the owing class as their businesses get more efficient from the cheapened relative labor costs.
I’ve been dragged into modifying my team’s product to fix deficiencies in others’ designs.
They didn’t want take ownership and freely pushed it onto us!
