I agree with the annoyances. Try reading any major US news site on your phone. You see a headline you want to read and tap on it. Sometimes the page is unresponsive. When it becomes responsive, it has loaded some new links to other articles, and what you tapped on is no longer on screen. Now, you're navigating to sothing you either didnt want to read or maybe already have.

This is a problem with all major news sites. CNN, NBC, FOX all do this to varying degrees. The main page is static, subsections are injected via async requests. It's annoying on a desktop (because you cant necessarily go back to where you were) and infuriating on a phone. I can't imagine what it's like for people on a limited data plan.

I also find it annoying when I see multiple links I want to read, but it's not obvious if I click on one, read it and go back that the other is now replaced.

Close, except for they lobbed a motorcycle engine into an electric car and called it a "range-extender" but the engine can't generate power to meet maximum demand of the car's electrical system.

So, instead of putting the motorcycle engine in as an afterthought take a 1.5l turbo as the primary source of electricity generation.
What drives me mad is when people claim they choose PostgreSQL over MySQL because data integrity concerns, yet they run PostgreSQL on Linux as opposed to FreeBSD or Illumos using ZFS.
Renormalization is not the same thing as regularization. Regularization is a mathematical trick while renormalization has a very physical interpretation, for example, its use in statistical mechanics. In QFT, they are related and I think sometimes conflated, which is unfortunate.

You can easily describe renormalization without math because it's a physical concept. Regularization is more difficult. If the OP decided divergent integral regularization was an interesting conversation topic then I am on your side.

Some people have considered building "life cars" which are vehicles designed to run forever because all of their parts can be replaced. On the plus side you only need new tooling when the old tooling starts getting out of tolerance, on the negative side your car looks the same as it did in the 60s. So go back and look at cars in the 60's and ask yourself if the asthetic works for you.

So the next step is car chassis that last forever but the body can be replaced. Prior to unibody construction this is how a lot of cars were built. And the 1970's VW beetle chassis was used by lots of people as the starting point for a fiberglass re-make (look for 'VW kit car' in images and see what I mean) That fixes the "look" (sort of) but the body work and interior work is over half the cost of the car. So you don't save too much and do you keep tooling for the 10 year old bodies?

The core essence of a video game is the game feel (which not everyone likes, because it's ill-defined). How does a player interact with a game? Via game mechanics. No amount of polish is going to make up for horrible game mechanics.

Jan Willem (of Vlambeer), who hates the phrase "game feel", talks about it through a simple iterative process of improving game mechanics. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U

Sometimes it's just "not smart enough to find each other," or "Can't be arsed."

Other commenters have addressed geographic stuff, but there's also just weird stuff with other financial products. You might trade currency, others trade interest rate swaps, others trade currency swaps, others trade commodities futures... Sometimes you can "prove" that arbitrage exists by synthetically constructing one product using a couple of others together to infer a price, sometimes you make an imperfect hedge but "good enough".

Value traders shouldn't have to be smart to get the best price available, but someone does have to be smart. Maybe that could be a centralised exchange, but in practice the market does a decent enough job.

>I also realized the difference between a physicist and a mathematician: a physicist is openly willing to compromise their principles and stretch the truth for the sake of press, while a mathematician sticks to the truth and as a result nobody cares.

1.) This is an over generalization that's insulting to physicists. That physicist you saw was clearly not a good speaker. I've seen mathematicians give poor talks and I've seen plenty of physicists give good talks.

2.) I think you have things backwards. Physicists get a lot of press for their work (CERN has it's own PR department and I'm sure plenty of other national labs do as well). Mathematicians, in comparison, do not get that much press for what they do. As a results, physicists are constantly forced to "compromise their principles and stretch the truth" in order to fit an explanation/justification of their work into a five paragraph news article. Mathematicians do not get the same level of press and public interest and are therefor not under as much (or any) pressure to simplify their results for the media to abuse.

I'll admit that this is a biased opinion but I'm not trying to compare the importance of each subject here. But in my experience I've noticed that the general population is much more interested in modern physics than mathematics.

This comic[1] from 'Scandinavia and the World' (particularly the explanatory text beneath it) might explain the situation.

I was recently discussing open source policy with a friend in the Australian Government whose agency is working on a whole-of-government standard that encourages open source.

She told me that many departments who don't currently have much experience in open source express the concern that if they open source their code, they've got to deal with all the issues that come with maintainership of an open source project.

Her opinion, though, was that the first and foremost reason for encouraging agencies to release their code is transparency and accountability - it's taxpayer money, after all - and that even chucking up a plain old tarball is a great start. As for running an open source community - well, cross that bridge when you get to it. It's entirely possible that no-one actually cares about contributing to your codebase. It's entirely possible that you're not going to have to deal with contributions larger than typo fixes. If you do end up getting larger contributions, write your policy and your process when you need it.

If you're in the parts of government that are encouraging a move towards openness, tell other agencies that it's fine if they don't have a fully developed open source strategy. Get their code up on GitHub somewhere first, prove that the sky won't fall in, and just get them comfortable with the concept of open source. Once we've achieved the first objective of getting source code out in the open at all, then we can worry about the rest.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a lot of trial and error.

Honestly, just because many particle physicists feel okay at this point what Feynman called 'hocus-pocus' doesn't mean it really is okay. Mathematically, it's just as unsound as saying the sum of all integers is -1/12.

There have been attempts at avoiding the regularization magic altogether but from what I gather, they are developments from mathematicians, and physicists don't really care about it.

EDIT: I knew it was a magic related term, not black magic.

ViolentAcres. He went after a guy who was a moderator on an unpopular, but legal subreddit. (Distasteful, I'll agree with you) The person who was the moderator, from my understanding did not contribute to the sub. He turned a very private individual into a very public individual and caused many bad things for the person.

Even worse, he made sure to punish and taunt the individual. As a result the individual had a lot of rather stressful life events, was humiliated on CNN, etc. For all of this: Adrian Chen claimed a moral victory.

By that logic .doc is the greatest format ever, or in the top 5 at least.
HTML isn't a renderer-output-description-language like PDF or PostScript. It was always intended to deliver content alongside semantic markup and intermixed with only basic formatting. Later, nearly all non-semantic tags got deprecated when CSS came of age; together they deliver structure and presentation. The image tag argument is a red herring: in HTML, that the exact resulting render is up to the browser's layout engine based on the CSS and the viewport.

The blog post isn't wrong, but it's also not right. Today's web isn't slow because of HTML's features, shortcomings, or other properties; it's slow because of excessive reliance on client-side scripting, including client-side DOM manipulation, ad serving, tracking, and A/B testing. Turning off Javascript vastly improves pageloads, and did -- once upon a time nearly 10 years ago -- improve UX, but these days more sites break without Javascript than those that don't.

AMP can impose constraints because it's a corporate effort to re-frame content in a way that provides centralized ad serving, tracking, and the like. It gives the content publishers the same tools (ads, tracking) they have to provide themselves with on the open web, while simultaneously benefiting those like Google who will put their own viewport and context around that content. It's not that much different from when an individual wants to publish on Medium or Tumblr, so the platform provides the author with a box to put text in, a dashboard, view tracking, and stuff the author wants, while they get to host interesting content with which to attract an audience for ads. It's a win-win, symbiotic relationship, while on the self-hosted web, every publisher is on their own.

This isn't about HTML vs AMP at all. It's about business models, which are given in AMP, but left as an exercise for the publisher on the open web.

Although it is a bit of a jab, I wouldn't call it an ad hominem.

And this is no way an admission of pseudoscience. She is simply saying that in physics it's (usually) easy to tell when someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Mainly because the amount of prerequisite material needed to understand and contribute to cutting edge physics is likely quite a bit more than what's required for sociology and other social sciences. This is simply because physics is a much older subject with a lot more history, this isn't meant as an attack on social sciences.

The statement you quoted is not even close to an admission of pseudoscience in physics.
Oh makes sense. I somehow read over that sentence.
The systems you're infatuated with have done at least as much harm as good, currently work mostly in favor of individuals who least need the help, and for at least the last 30 years have steadily grown more dysfunctional. Working within a system only works when the system works, and there's nothing lazier than calls to work within a system that's directly responsible for the overwhelming majority of society's ills. But by all means feel free to keep painting would-be revolutionaries as lazy, bomb-throwing nihilists.
That bit is something of a cop-out, because of how open-ended it is. One feels entitled to an explanation as to exactly when those rules should be broken, or what would qualify as barbarous. And why, exactly, do the previous bits of advice not mention their conditions of applicability?

Bear in mind, it is quite possible that Orwell meant what he said (in the direct, plain meaning of it), and got it wrong.

Maybe it's a pet peeve, but I loathe advice of the form "do just the right amount of a thing" that doesn't say how one is to determine the "right" amount. After all, if that was the easier part of following the advice, one wouldn't need the advice in the first place.

I emphatically agree with your recommendation that more people should seek counseling, even those who lead seemingly happy and/or successful lives. Increased urbanization has unfortunately resulted in less socialization for a lot of people. Especially (at the risk of sounding sexist) for men, who tend to be more introverted. So I see a lot of my male friends struggling with social problems which I think some genuine counseling could really help them with.

We need to remove the stigma attached with seeing a psychiatrist/shrink as something done only by those suffering from mental ailments. And to be honest, I've seen a lot of people turn to self-help "gurus" who just confuse things further by not getting to the root of the problem.

> Can you list some important implications of "is Pluto a planet or not?"

I remember reading in 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' that Pluto was the first and only planet discovered in the USA, all the rest having been discovered in Europe.

I don't know if that had any implications for the reactions to IAU decision to demote Pluto to a dwarf planet, but it's easy to imagine how it would have been an even bigger deal if the other planets had been discovered by, for eg., Russia back in the day.

Following up on feedback for the user, for automobiles designers should opt to communicate feedback in non-visual ways.

You know which gear your car is by the position of the shift lever. You know when to shift up/down by the sound of an engine. You know what speed the AC fan is at by the direction of the dial and can crank it up and down accordingly.

On an older car, a driver can be blindfolded and operate many of the accessory functions without trouble. On a newer car, I wager it's much difficult, especially those with touchscreen interfaces.

Yes, there are more functions now, but should they be added at the expense of our safety? I want to be able to switch on the defogger by a simple button, not by diving into a menu.

AMP doesn't "allow only CSS filters that can be GPU-accelerated". It allows only CSS properties that Blink (and other current engines) can GPU-accelerate via layers. There is no need for this restriction in general, and I think a better approach for the long run is to adopt rasterization strategies that don't have such unnecessary performance cliffs.

(Disclaimer: I work on one of these libraries.)
Why you didn't compare it to C++ or C ? If you want to compete with C/C++ it would be natural to compare those in benchmarks. Java and Go have GC. It's like comparing super car with street cars when you should compare it to other super cars.
>For instance, light, which normally travels in a straight line, would trace the surface of the material if it was bound to a single electron on it, following the electron’s path across the surface of the material. Conversely, electrons in an electrical circuit will normally stop when faced with a defect or imperfection in the conducting material, but with the aid of photons, “the electron would still be able to travel onwards.”

Would that turn any conductor into a super conductor?
Forgive me, but it seems like you have an exceedingly negative view of psychiatrists.

> And they'd say there possibly is (such as lifestyle changes), and encourage them to pursue those changes while providing temporary medical relief.

But Psychiatrists provide prescriptions as well (drugs, therapy etc) which may or may not lead to lifestyle changes.

> But psychiatrists don't have permanent cures for anything

I think this is being too harsh on psychiatrists. The mind is perhaps the most complex and least understood component of the human body. It is an exceedingly complex organ not yet completely understood. The heart, kidney etc are all functional organs, and their mechanisms for working are pretty well understood at the present time. There is much ongoing research to understand how the brain does work though; just probably not by Psychiatrists.

Right, I would clarify though, "single electron positions are unpredictable exactly[0]" but, I know that there are more electrons on this side of the cap than the other side, and it's physics at that scale (S >> \hbar) that matters.

> So if AMP forbids things that aren't fast Right Now, you're freezing the state of the platform forever until vendors get around to improving features nobody uses... and then you have to wait until every vendor ships the optimized implementation before anyone can use it in AMP.

Agreed that AMP is the wrong approach. But I think it's not that difficult in terms of programmer-months to fix the rasterization problems. You just need the right design as opposed to '90s style imperative APIs.
Here's some cases that I've handled with AWS that justifies the cost:

- About a month ago, our database filled up, both in space and IOPS required. We do sizeable operations every day, and jobs were stacking up. I clicked a couple buttons and upgraded our RDS instance in-place, with no downtime.

- We were going through a security audit. We spun up an identical clone of production and ran the audit against that, so we didn't disrupt normal operations if anything crashy was found.

- Our nightly processing scaled poorly on a single box, and we turned on a bunch of new customers to find that our nightly jobs now took 30 hours. We were in the middle of a feature crunch and had no time to re-write any of the logic. We spun up a bunch of new instances with cron jobs and migrated everything that day.

100% worth it for a small business that's focused on features. Every minute I don't mess with servers is a minute I can talk to customers.
