Not a world saving solution, just adding necessary context around the “fairly small” comment.

The US GHG per capita remains one of the highest in the world, so things can be improved.

Topre switches are my favorite

The most joyful keyboard I’ve ever had is a modified HHKB with a logic board that can run QMK

It’s both a nicer object than all my homebrew boards and it has the same customization potential

While I agree with the 3-pm food in France sentiment. As a french person returning to France after 15 years away the "french tacos" seem like the most vile cultural mashup and taste made into a log of soggy fries and cheese sauce.

In general my rule of thumb is : stick to french food in France. Culturally imported dishes are often a very poor adaptation and I am often disappointed.

V7 does one of the best auto segmentation I’ve tried, but on a complex scene fixing its worse case can be slower than not using any proposal. That’s where Toronto annotation suite shines

I can go over more details over over email/pm if you’d like

Really cool stuff ! Looking forward to trying it out

my favorite commercial option so far is : https://www.v7labs.com/

prodi.gy for running small augmentation UIs is worth checking out

The workflow of the Toronto univ annotation suite [1] is sweet for making polygons semi-automatically, but not widely available yet

And you really think this is an honest argumentation?

It sounds dishonest to :

1. not being able to empathize with someone who is economically vulnerable. can't tell if it's on purpose, or just difficult.

2. attach yourself to the definition of vulnerability. I just gave you one : people living paycheck to paycheck. It's a pretty mundane concept, and it's trite or dishonest to have to revisit this.

In a nutshell he says :

- from your tone it sounds that you have never been faced with such hardships and decisions to make.

- "quickly and efficiently" to me would be anything that would allow you to pay the next bills. Esp. since 78% of american workers live paycheck to paycheck with no cushion to absorb downtime looking for new work.

I'm detecting a bit of dishonesty (trolling?) in your answers too.

It's beyond your imagination to conceive that there are people who would have to accept something they loathe because they must feed their family and pay the mortgage in a very immediate future?

I'm totally open to changing my mind that this hypothetical person doesn't exist in the US, if you'd like to bring forward a peer reviewed study on the subject.

So you can only speak of those who serve your point?

So is it the case? Do you have very few prospects of employments and yet would willingly chose living in poverty over surveillance of your laptop?

I don't think it's as unlikely as you seem to believe. There are no stats being brought forward on either side, so I don't see how your scenario is less or more likely than mine. And I am merely trying to empathize with the people for whom this is the sad reality.

So .. can you rationalize in the same manner why the employees in the NPR story haven't quit yet?

Is it cowardice? Is it because they think they can't do better than what they have?

Are you being extremely obtuse on purpose?

Not everyone is an engineer who have employers fawning over them. A lot of people have few prospects of employment - especially right now - and have bills to pay. So weighing the two options : no food this month, or installing spyware willingly they take the easiest route.

yes filtering water along the way. I doubt you can carry six days of water in an environment that's so dry you need to carry everything

I take drugs to do interviews. Modafinil. It gets me a little bit jittery and all over the place. But programmers tend to like that nervous energy

There is just no way for me to stay on point for all of four or five hours of successive grilling. It's a lot more exhausting than thinking about anything on my own

I've been wondering about getting a razer blade stealth 13" for some time, I'm just worried a bit about its built quality.

I do prefer Mac OS as a daily driver, but I would like to be able to do some light proof of concept ML training on a laptop with an nvidia card, and also sometimes some CAD (I've had terrible experience dual booting windows on this current mbp)

I'm currently trying google colab to see how much I can do with doing everything in the cloud

May I ask what’s taking the bulk of your weight?

For info, six days autonomy and including a bear can I’m hovering around 30lbs which is when the ultralight backpack starts being uncomfortable

Ideally your city would have a reliable public transit system to its airport.. I always take Bart to SFO, it's a lot more dependable than any car / shuttle service which is subject to traffic.

“I began to realise that, actually, the waiting and the state of intense anticipation was always erotic for me,” he says. “It wasn’t just the consummation of the act with somebody, but also wanting the wanting itself.”

Sounds spot on for the high a sex addict experiences. Maybe in the future Conner is going to tell us about finding his higher power in twelve steps, instead of throwing a brick at it.

"many of those marvelous US things were created by expat teams" is that a fact ? or your projection of reality.

Edit: since facts are facts are facts: at most US companies can have 15% of visa holders in their workforce.

I'm going to wait here and watch Portugal become the next global leader in tech because of better certification of engineers. Give me a ring when that happens ok?

Take a look at école 42 just next door to you [1].

It breaks all pre-conception of a certified french engineering school. You don't even need to have finished high school to apply! At most they'll be restricted out of governmental jobs, a drop in the bucket of EU jobs.

This is a very silicon-valley like way of thinking : Disrupting the incumbent who cannot adapt to new thoughts. Maybe you should be afraid, because change in on the way.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(school)

And look at all the amazing billion dollar tech companies, open source projects, operating systems, programming languages & compilers that come from there compared to the US.

Ah yeah, I can see how much better the certification makes everything now. Thanks for that!

I'm picking up a very defensive vibe about your own degree here. Are you worried about getting replaced?

Relax, I don't know what "certification" means to you specifically. But what makes you think Apple doesn't already hire the best-in-class engineers they can get their hands on?

Anyway, we're pretty far off the initial claim you made : "it's those poor saps from coding bootcamps that are the reason this industry is doomed".

These iMessage bugs were implemented by properly educated and certified engineers. So what's the take home conclusion now?

what about any kind of degree that prevents people from jumping to such logical chains : coding bootcamps -> low quality of deliverables industry wide -> iMessage bug!

So .. you prefer seeing a derelict furniture store and its empty parking lot in your community than a maybe "cheezy condo" unit, a new grocery store, and some affordable housing units. Care to explain the motivation for statu quo here?

both good reasons for your future boycott of door dash! Are there other food delivery services who have clearly explained fee structures?

I would be really interested in trying out escamoles! and the idea of a business around that sounds quite appealing (even though, yes I imagine it would be hard to convince the average red-meat fed american).

Any idea where to find this delicacy in California?
