It looks like a pretty and minimalist theme for various shells, that also provides hints when you are in a source code directory for the git status and the language version. I use powerlevel10k, which is only for zsh. It looks quite similar

True, but by using binary deltas you can minimize that cost. And failure to upgrade may mean running more inefficient algorithms, wasting more processor cycles, or transferring more data in general. For instance, if you are on a browser tha

If releases are painful, then something is wrong with your development cycle and deployment process. If you spend the effort to make it painless, then it makes no difference whether releases are 6 weeks or 4 weeks. Of course, you need an ex

There's already a lot of 4G enabled notebooks and tablets, and basically all phones. I could easily see that eating 80% of the market. 60% or more of web traffic is already on mobile devices, so the only question is whether 5G will bec

Yes. Many consumers will like it because there's no need for a modem or router. Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile/Sprint are all working on vertically integrating to provide phone service, 5G, and streaming content options.

There's no specific reason that I have to distrust Politico, or this article in particular. On the other hand, that's not really a great standard, and the trend of verbatim repeating the words of anonymous government sources needs

A lot of the deforestation is caused not by landowners who are engaged in agriculture, but as a result of land speculators letting good land sit idle, and forcing impoverished homesteaders into the rainforest where they engage in clearcutti

Can't parse your statement very well, but certainly Prop 13 has caused a lot of rigidity in the housing market by incentivizing people to hold onto their titles as long as possible, and never sell. And it has starved cities of funds an

I despise terrible laptop keyboards, even though I'm using one at this moment. This Amazon keyboard is very much like a laptop keyboard, and thus I know that I would hate it. I fundamentally don't like low profile keyboards where

Also, fiber makes you feel full, and slows down and improves digestion. So a high fiber diet would make it easier to eat less. There are some important "carninutrients" that are in animal products, like vitamin B12 or taurine or c

Devolution is a term in political science that refers to the ceding of power from central authorities to local authorities. I'm distinguishing that from the general term of decentralization, because from an individualist viewpoint, dev

Most markets exhibit oligopolistic competition, and email is no exception. Google controls the most, yes, but they aren't the only ones to consider. The number of competitors who are significant players are only a handful. The top 5 pr

Decentralization and devolution are often confused. For instance, in the US Civil War, the splintering could be described as devolution. But it certainly wasn't decentralizing power to the slaves. Which side was the side of "decen

I saw a Shark Tank episode where Chris Sacca described QR codes as the herpes of the Internet. I don't have the same sense of loathing for it that he does, but that phrase stuck in my mind. I guess most of the alternatives are just as

Not a big fan of Uber, but on the other hand a lot of cities were operating crony "taxi medallion" rackets that were enriching vested taxi interests and speculators, but hurting drivers and riders. Ridesharing is more convenient,

It isn't that difficult. It is mainly about changing incentives and unleashing the autonomous forces of the population. If you think about it primarily in terms of top-down planning, then yea it seems hard. But urban planning is not

The point of this project is standardized inputs and outputs, that's all. Working with commands is not standardized on traditional posix systems, in terms of either input or output. The other comments about adding a "stddata"

Ideally, presentation of the data would be handled by themes. Hopefully they build theming support.

I suspect that people would get suspicious if someone is offering them free sex parties. If there's a fee then it would probably be less suspicious.

It is known that Epstein's main way of operating was blackmail, and it is baffling to think of what kind of motivation he had to blackmail academics. Media reports that at least some of the academics were involved in the sex crimes. I

My understanding is that Firefox previously had some specific problems on Mac that were mostly resolved. Might be worth re-evaluating.

There's hundreds of times more non-EVs on the road, so the question would be the proportionate level of fires.

I agree that technology isn't progressing "faster and faster," but GDP doesn't measure technological progress. That is absurd. It doesn't even measure economic growth very well, and even if it did that wouldn't

Yep. I've heard VCG or combinatorial auctions proposed as a solution for various problems. I think it is used for advertising slots, and airline gates, but could be used for logistics brokerages, or unit rentals in skyscrapers. The wik
