Readit NewsYou could perhaps newtype using a class (so you can instanceof) or tag via { unit: 'seconds', value: 30 } but that feels awful and seems to be against the ecosystem established practices.
This is indeed one of my gripes with TS typing. I'm spoiled by other languages, but I understand the design choice.
Designing systems of incentives is hard.
That said, several of the mentioned problems seem like they have solutioms.
- Excessive detail: keep both or several sets of instructions. The detailed version is authoritative in the case of a dispute by the student, but as long as they don't dispute, it's fine if they follow the spirit of the instructions.
- Deadlines: Give X "extension tokens" per semester, which allow students to submit one day late, no questions asked. Max 2 tokens per assignment (48h extension). My undergrad CS department did this and it was great.
I would guess the latter would work well for regrades as well. A generous but bounded number of regrade tokens. You could even do something like make unused tokens worth 1 bonus % on the final exam, if you want to further disincentive abuse.
- The ergonomics / screen setup really make a difference in whether you can tolerate being there for 1 hour versus 4 hours.
- I've been pretty intentional about finding spots that have are quiet with some constant (e.g. creekside babbling), if really needed headphones can help deal with wind noise.
- If going to a coffee shop/bar look for places with outdoor seating in a rear area where you're not going to be distracted by cars driving by.
- You'll need some old thin wool gloves with finger cutouts to deal with coldish days.
SSI - spectrum similarity index - is probably a better measure, because it doesn't look at a few colors, but at the entire spectrum, and so heavily punishes peaky and discontinuous spectra as produced by many LEDs. High SSI values also result in much better mix-and-match behavior of light sources. Even CRI 95 LEDs often don't mix well, usually on the pink-barf-scale (tint).
I'd say the turbotax approach was easier to fill out, but freetaxusa was much easier to look up additional information when the guidance fell short; when I wasn't sure how to fill out turbotax's questions, figuring out which box it applied to so I could look up more information was supremely frustrating.
Specifically, I was freelancing the previous two years, and I was looking up information about itemized deductions.
> Did you consider the recent git nomenclature change to use "switch" for branch operations, and "co" for file operations?
Actually, isn't "restore" for file operations? My impression was that everyone agrees that `git checkout` does too many different things. In particular, it's both for switching branches and for restoring file content. So they added the new `git switch` and `git restore` with limited scope. I strongly suspect that they would have used `git checkout` for the former if that wasn't already taken by the existing command.
> And, do you have plans on supporting signed commits, either via gpg or the newfound SSH key signing?
No, that's not something I've even started thinking about. I'll have to read up on how it works in Git first. Patches welcome, though :)
> I'm super excited to try out the conflict resolution mechanism, because that's a major painpoint for my long-lived PR branches
You mean so you can continuously rebase them without having to resolve conflicts right away? Yes, that's one of the benefits of first-class conflicts. Another benefit, which took me a long time to realize how useful it is, is the auto-rebase feature.
(I post this somewhat selfishly, as I'm basically describing how I wish git worked ;)
Mobile security is a huge mess because of planned obsolescence. There should exist no security reasons that force me to junk a device faster than 10 years if the manufacturer is still in business.
Regulatory action is required, that should think past the traditional "warranty" periods, removing security support is a remote confiscation of private property.
I found myself constantly planning layouts and positioning things. Nothing ever ended up feeling right, and it was exhausting.
“I’ll have my browser window take the full height and half the width over here. Then I’ll put my code editor over on the right, half high, then my Terminal below it.
No wait, that’s not enough height for the code editor, so let’s shrink the Terminal down… except now the terminal’s uncomfortably short.
Well, maybe the browser can be split with the Terminal and the code editor can be full height.
Except now the code editor feels too narrow and I don’t really need it this tall, it would be really nice if I could have the browser window full height instead.”
And then I’m back where I started.
And if I finally get used to a layout and whatever shortcut keys I have for jumping around, then !!! A wild Slack message appears!
Now I need to open a PDF viewer along with Slack along with my code editor but don’t need my browser but maybe need my Terminal, and I’m back to the layout drawing board for the next task.
With overlapping windows, every window can be the exact size and shape it needs to be.
I’m open to the likelihood that I’m just doing it wrong. I would also bet this is less of an issue if I were using multiple large, unscaled 4K monitors.
So I’ll try it again someday with a different setup, but for now I’m mostly happy with my 1440p monitor(s), and overlapping windows.
I kind of want to buy a framework though, just to support them? But I have no use for another laptop, let alone a small 12" one! Should I get one anyway because, what the hell, why not? Should I wait and then jump on one if/when they release a larger model?
Anybody else have similar feelings?
Edit to add:
I also have one of the last Thinkpad models that support S3 sleep (T480 -- within a model or two, I think?), which is currently super critical for Linux... I need to be able to close the lid and come back after a week.
It's easy to blame the manufacturers for this, but the consistent answer seems to be "Intel's Tiger Lake platform does not support S3 sleep," and all of the system builders base their work on what Intel's reference platform does. So short of going to extreme effort to hack it together themselves (something that is likely not their specialty), reasonable sleep behavior is not going to be an option unless Intel brings S3 back, or does work to improve the S0ix states.
I absolutely do not want to support the no-more-S3 clusterfuck right now.
It does learn, just not on your PC:
By default, Privacy Badger receives periodic learning updates from Badger Sett, our Badger training project. This “remote learning” automatically discovers trackers present on thousands of the most popular sites on the Web. Privacy Badger no longer learns from your browsing by default, as “local learning” may make you more identifiable to websites. You may want to opt back in to local learning if you regularly browse less popular websites. To do so, visit your Badger’s options page and mark the checkbox for learning to block new trackers from your browsing.
With local learning disabled, is there any need for using the Privacy Badger add-on specifically? Would it be possible to distribute the tracker lists which are generated by Badger Sett in a format compatible with uBlock Origin?
edit: Found that Badger Sett generates a json blob: https://github.com/EFForg/badger-sett/blob/master/results.js...
I am not that familiar with uBlock Origin's filtering syntax, but from a quick look, it seems like the json could be translated at least to the 'dynamic filtering' rules (accessible only when you enable "I am an advanced user"). Perhaps I'll open an issue.
