If you're correct then there's no hope. People will realize they can have the data and will take refusal to provide it as a proxy for misbehavior. For some that time is already here. If we can build alternatives that provide impor

Nowhere! It is bad that corporations have my location. That's why I am trying to get people to think about how they want this kind of thing to work.

I know! I am not sure you are considering that at the moment full sharing is the default and, in many cases, not optional. It seems like you're under the impression that I want us to share location all of the time when I've just s

Of course it can be found out other ways. The people I was closest to did not need the location sharing to figure out what happened to me. I do not have the impression that people obsessively check location - I certainly do not. But sometim

That's certainly one of the options! However I generally disagree with your point of view. You are welcome to hold to it, but many people already know where you are at all times and I suspect if you ask your community they will have li

I have been eagerly sharing my location with as many people as possible for years. I have not been very discerning about it - and in fact if anyone in this thread wants my location feel free to message me on signal (drex.64) and I'll s

I would also love to know how OP integrated logging these! I'm interested in this kind of tracking but I haven't found an ergonomic way to use it (not that I've tried hard).

LuaJIT has ~85k lines of code. Chromium and Firefox have somewhere in the neighborhood of ~30 million. If you need ~1 developer for "a LuaJIT" then you need ~350 developers for a browser.

Sure - it's an expansive essay on the authors' experience around their grief. I never said that this was their thesis, but I do think the way they talk about medicalization is worth critiquing. They put their experience in tension

I am so sorry to hear about what you and your wife have gone through. It sounds extremely frustrating and aggravating. I also suspect that when it comes up the people who downplay your wifes' conditions often act as if they are the ins

I think what you are talking about is a problem. Having a medical diagnosis gives personal experience an extra weight in the social realm that's quite problematic. We should all get to say how impactful something for us and the medic

What you're describing is a big problem [edit: for the people who get sucked into it] and, to me, is kind of the "other side" of the overmedicalization issue that this blog is complaining about. One way medicalization harms i

> We medicalize grief because we fear it. I think this is just incorrect. You are not obligated to seek treatment for most medical problems[1]. The point of medicalizing something is to draw a line between situations where it would be to

There was a good overview on here a while ago about the challenges[1]. You need to plan longer in the future and your sensors need to reach further. It's also a much bigger challenge to collect sensor data as fewer diversions happen pe

I find it useful to open the code in an editor and make running notes in the comments about what I think the state should be. As long as the code has good tests you can use debugging statements to confirm your understanding. As a bonus you

I also wonder if it comes down to requiring users to pay after exposing them to partial functionality (15m of recording) v.s. any functionality (must pay to open from AppStore). I think your free app is actually closer to Rogue Amoeba'

You can take a look at the map of West Hudson Bldv[1]. It cuts the area in half with a single crossing point on the road. Try asking google how to get to the Philips Center from anywhere north and google will tell you to cross at West Hudso

Like others here, I am somewhat skeptical of the accuracy of these accounts, but ofc like anyone who's been working for some time I've seen the kinds of situations that inspire them. To me, framing this as being about the workers

I've seen people say that this reward seems very high for a single crash and I suspect that the behavior described here is a big part of that.

Crashing is loud. You will get crashes in your logs. And you can let it happen because those crashes won't disrupt anything else - that's what the message passing gets you. So sure, the code with the error won't work (it woul

I think you're imagining a limited mission that's pretty far outside the tradition of space travel up 'til today. Consider the public reaction to Apollo 13 or Vladimir Komarov. Certainly, we could deliver a one-way small numb

I really think you are under estimating things here. The trip to mars is ~145x longer (at minimum!) than the trip to the moon. Let's say it only takes us twice the time to develop a rocket & ship that can do that (and come back ofc

I am surprised this obviously correct take is so controversial! The problem, essentially, is that the "more everything forever" crowd wants to get paid for the idea of the future today and then will never actually deliver what the
