Hmm, okay. Yeah I was trying to set up an environment to dabble with machine vision and had trouble finding good instructions or guidance for programming env setup. I think in college we used something-Unix but it’s been so long I don’t really have a frame of reference anymore. So I’m looking for a low-overhead daily driver that’s also relatively common or amenable to maker communities
If that makes sense.
Damnit I just switched to Ubuntu. That explains why I kept getting lost. What about Debian?
Ann Leckie is such a great author. I recommend the Radch to everyone who asks for a book
It’s almost a concept of a plan
Great book, I need to listen to it again. But the interview will do for now!
It’s kind of a disingenuous comparison in the video, but I understand why he did it. The one that settles slowly has no dampening, either fluid or an inductive plate, because he set its initial position by hand. Can’t really do that if it’s in a fluid, although he could have compared in other ways, like setting the initial position with another magnet or comparing to another induction dampened compass and emphasizing that you can see through his.
I had a boss that did this quarterly meeting where he’d schedule two full days to review everything he heard piecemeal once a week and it always ended up taking 3 and a half days. It was hell and we all hated it. The whole office had to sit in it, no one got any work done, and most of us fell asleep. No decisions were ever made and it was just to give himself the feel goods about telling his boss he knew what was going on.
Horrible boss. The running theory in the office was that he hated his family and didn’t want to go home
I might go back and read those again. If I remember right, they get dark as hell for kids books
The downdetector comments have descended immediately into utter madness
Here, I found the video
It’s youtube because I couldn’t find it anywhere else. But I think it addresses some of your points. The biggest point it makes is that at the same time that the greater economy lost 3 million jobs (or had that many layoffs), the gig economy gained roughly the same number of people.
I saw a breakdown the other day postulating that the true unemployment rate is masked by the gig economy, because people are more likely to drive Uber than file for unemployment
I’m convinced they’ll do it to themselves, especially as more books are made with AI, more articles, more reddit bots, etc. Their tool will poison its own well.
I think Bojack did a good job representing the different kinds of discourse on the subject, while also showing how impactful representation can be. However it was a relatively short arc that did not get much of any revisit
Cool thanks, I’ll stick with it! At least until I’m familiar and want to try something new
