I like it a lot, but I'm always afraid that I'll end up running into limitations of the framework if whatever I'm doing happens to grow in scope in a way I hadn't planned for. I tend to be bad at planning ahead for side projects, but who can blame me, they're side projects.

Anyway, just stopping by to say that Vue has struck a good balance for me. Peppering in {{template values}} in existing HTML works really well, and when things start to get more complex I can easily break my dom out into components.
Most redesigns go pretty deep before users are included. And by then your investment, financial, emotional and in lost time, is so high people try and rationalize the negative reactions and justify why users will turn around after a while.

What makes it difficult that even the most perfect change will elicit negative reactions from users. It's difficult to then separate what is a natural reaction to change from genuine problems in the new design.
People use the "Don't be a jerk" definition of PC when they are trying to argue for its importance, and a very different definition when it comes to actually branding people as anti-PC. Well, it doesn't work like that. You have to be consistent.
No, I am disagreeing with your explicit disagreement with "implementing a data structure like this in a non-garbage collected language without Rust is also quite tricky".

Now that I reread for a third time, I suspect you may've picked up on the "a data structure like this" to mean "a linked list with this exact ownership arrangement", whereas I interpreted it as the looser "a data structure like a linked list". That puts the rest of your comments into more context, and sure, I grant you that it's a suboptimal choice, but I don't think it's what the author meant.

In any case, I think I was rather assuming too much Rust context: taking your suggestion does not resolve the trickiness in Rust (as in, you won't be able to convince the compiler to accept it without using `unsafe` or reference counting). It's a very common meme about Rust that there's no way to write a safe C++-stye linked list with pointers, something independent of the choice of ownership scheme. "Fixing" the design doesn't actually help: it's still way too much of a pointer soup.

I learned programming by myself at age 12 on a Commodore 64, in modern times kids get a tablet for school that cost almost as much as the Commodore 64 and 1541 drive cost me.

Tablets have caused Toys r Us and others to go out of business. You see I learned science from some of the toys my parents bought me, Legos, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, board games, etc. When I went UMR and joined a fraternity there I already had memorized Trivia Pursuit cards from my younger years.

You don't need college to learn how to program, there are classes on the Internet.
I guess we really taught them how to copy everything by moving all manufacturing there. Once they could do everything without external help, they would innovate.

This tool would not intentionally play politics or not be improved in short time (like bad behavior or ineffective manager) , and so the employees would trust it more than a bad manager.

Think of it like an "AI Manager", the tool could learn from various scenarios or data points across teams and bring some sort of management consistency.

A lot of criticism about intelligence tests are ideologically driven, because underprivileged groups score low, and in many regions that have suffered the most from colonialism, underprivileged groups score low. I think that what we will find is that being underprivileged affects intelligence quite strongly.

Sephardic Jews were at the center of worldwide Jewish culture. Their cultural contributions and success in society would suggest that as a population they were probably quite intelligent during their heyday. Today, Ashkenazi Jews are known to have a high average group IQ, higher than current day Sephardic Jews.

I suspect that ideological knee-jerk fear driven suppression of IQ research on underprivileged groups is keeping our society from realizing interventions which can help groups by driving up their average IQ scores. We have historical evidence from the US that underprivileged groups with below average IQs can be changed.

Does such a request only apply to any data collected during the time while in the EU or all previous data as well? I.e. Could you fly to Europe for a day, put in the request, have my data removed, and fly back?
Isn't this obviously impossible?

What sort of launch vehicle or payload is going to tolerate the Gs of being spun at such a high rate. How on earth does this even raise a dollar of funding?

It has crossed my mind in the past why we don't use something like a linear electric motor to help get rockets going off the pad, even just a hundred yards or so of acceleration assist might save a good chunk of fuel. But the rockets aren't exactly designed to have acceleration applied anywhere other than at the engine, so maybe you end up having to add the weight you'd save in fuel back in structure for the ancillary acceleration source.
Architecture here is held up as the core issue, but close examination shows design isn't even relevant. This complex in the Netherlands was not connected to transportation and became host to concentrated poverty which we now know is socially toxic. Pruitt Igor receives mention, but it was intended from the start to host concentrated poverty and was built so cheaply that it was falling apart when first residents moved in and proved to be impossible to maintain.

Just one interesting contrasting development is the Barbican in London which is not only a dehumanizing tower complex but also built in the now largely disliked Brutalist style. The Barbican has all of the design flaws called out and yet is a popular, fully occupied, and highly desirable success.

If you want to have a meaningful impact on design then you will have to stop lying about concrete tower block development.

There is nothing obviously wrong with copying things and nothing obvious right with "inventing" them first. DOS was not first but beat CPM. Microsoft even went on to PROMOTE its "fast follower" modus operandi. VC's seeking exits have very sound reasons for wanting something "first" and preferably "license protected." But those wins do not obviously confer to either nation states or even all industries or companies. Making things over and over for expanding markets is the best source of innovation. Any delusions of "labs" as "heads" and "making things" as "mere hands" are in fact pure delusions. [Edit: sp]
It's crazy how people who were terrorized by this guy blame themselves for the fact that he turned out to be a murderer, and couldn't take the punishment. Must have been a master at gaslighting.
I just lived for my last semester of undergrad with two people like this who really got on each others' nerves (all three of us just needed a semester of housing to finish school). They'd both brought their own toasters and just wanted theirs out and the others in a cabinet. I think they had less than 5 conversations in person, instead putting all their incredibly minor complaints in a group text so I'd have to see it. The bathroom just had two towel hangers and they both wanted to hang two towels and would put the other's on the floor even if it was just wet. One would go away for the weekend and try to calculate that they should pay 5% less in utilities for the month because of that. They'd buy something like paper towels and announce that we each owed them $1.50 for that. We had a mail slot and they'd pick up their mail off the floor when they got home and then step on everyone else's.

My only solace is that these people must be incredibly unhappy all the time.

Near field studio monitors are good for making great audio in a small volume. With a well designed room they can work for larger areas. I use $2k of monitors to get really good reproduction in a volume of about 1 cubic meter. Outside that it gets weird.

The HomePod sounds good across two rooms with a volume of about 150 cubic meters. That’s pretty amazing. (80% open between the rooms)

A single HomePod gives an interesting stereo experience. There is some separation in the middle and high end. Lows don’t separate well. It is a pleasant listening experience, but not the same as well placed stereo gear with a listener in the sweet spot.

> setting up Haskell dev environments

What I was complaining about was the difficulty installing a specific package version. That's trivial with other build systems, but not Nix.

> I don't use [package managers] to install dev dependencies.

I'm under the impression that most people do. Either way, I see the main advantage of using Nix to be setting up dev environments without installing a bunch of global packages, or dealing with a mess of files. Unfortunately, as a user, I find it to be much more of a hassle than it needs to be.

I see PC as a means by which some members of a ruling group try to secure their status within that group by self-righteously condemning other members of the group and the group itself. The PC beliefs themselves are adapted to cowing the spirits of the ruling group and to controlling thought. Only the most virtuous and the most wicked of the group are unaffected by the onslaught.

'Controlling thought' because in order to win the PC contest it isn't enough to memorise what to say, you have to give up control at a deeper level which includes the self-censoring of forbidden thoughts.

It would be completely unfair if a bunch of Liberal Americans who are fed up with Trump moved to a small East Asian country and expected them to put English on all the signs just because they were fleeing a political faction they abhorred.

Somehow, various Chinatowns in the US seem to do alright, even though many of them have signs in Chinese. There is an amazing amount of wealth generated there, though there's also often a greater degree of squalor. (One exception is Houston's Bellaire, though there may be seedier parts of that I'm not familiar with.)
It's mostly making real stuff, too. The US suffers from ad-based companies, especially Google and Facebook, dominating "tech". YC recognizes this; most newer YC startups are not ad-funded. But it's going to take a while to turn this around.

It's like that strange period in the 1990s when 40% of US corporate profits came from financial activities, and every big company had to have a finance subsidiary with a trading desk. That's so over.

If any country wants to have a stable coin, they can choose US dollar or Swiss Franc as its currency. There are already some countries doing that. Hence, there is no need for a crypto currency for a stable coin.

The downside is that you cannot control the monetary policy of your of own country. You cannot pump money according to the economic situation. Look at the eurozone, for example, Germany wants to increase rates -hence increase the value of Euro- whereas Greece is still struggling. Leaving your currency to somebody else’s decisions may not be a good idea.

As someone that grew up in the rural midwest and visits family there every year, there's not much rural life has to offer anyone in 2018, including jobs of any type.

Technical schools don't really matter, because there isn't a job for you to be trained for. Either the job left, or if job is still there, there's a lot fewer open slots due to automation. That's just cold facts.

You seem to think china is one massive block of people all thinking the same. Being there at the present time, i see a society full of very independant, almost libertarian people, very hard to govern, that are thriving to do business, from 1-shop man to big businessmen. And the young generation (<35) is 100% oriented toward the western way of life.

My feeling is that if a war should happen it will be a civil war between China government and chineese people, maybe once the economical boom begins to slow and people stop making fortunes (unless americans start to screw up so massively that they become unattractive as a lifestyle model, that is).

The US once had the Utility Holding Company Act, which limited ownership in utility companies to a tree depth of 3. This was in response to a mess created by Samuel Insull in the 1920s. That prevented ownership loops. Repealed a few years ago.
> You wrote this, not me.

I'm not sure what point you're missing here. If you invade another country, particularly with the intention of commiting genocide there, and you get killed for doing so, you are not a victim of the country you were trying to wipe out, or its ideology, you're a victim of your own actions.

> Yes, I noticed, you seem to think that as long as you and yours are fine, it does not matter if millions of other people are killed.

Okay, explain how the lives of the majority of people in Russia would have been improved under Nazi occupation than under Communism.

> Are you saying that those who had killed more people are perfectly fine, as long as they were killing people you do not particularly approve of?

"Communism" has not killed more people. That's simply a fantasy based on an absurd publication denounced as fictitious even by its own authors.

> communists, who did kill more people

So you keep insisting. Who are you trying to convince, me or you?

> you do not consider those killed to be people [...] worth counting.

I don't believe people who were not killed by Communism should be counted as being killed by Communism.

> What does it have to do with anything?

What does any of this thread have to do with your incorrect insistence, supported by no credible source, that the famine of 1921 was a "forced famine"?

> I have heard there are quite a few people who do not think that many Jews were killed by nazis. And there are different numbers, too

And do you accept any of their different numbers?

> Who, do you think, those people really do not like to associate with?

This is you being not cagey again, I presume.
It's pretty simple why people don't like it, and it's obvious why it's not selling well.

The Homepod does not have an aux cord.

The Homepod does not allow you to use its onboard bluetooth 5.0 hardware to play music from another device

The Homepod does not allow you to play spotify, unless you play it from an airplay-equipped device (so not android without a workaround), which means you cannot ask it to play spotify at all, or for that matter, play any other service except their own.

Many reviews are reporting a lack of features in the homepod's Siri, as well as poor performance of existing features.

I agree with you when you say apple is great at getting people to care about things that nobody cared about before. Are you suggesting that those things actually matter? Do you believe apple is getting people to care about these things out of an abundance of compassion and drive to educate the masses? I think it's more plausible that Apple will get their customers to care about whatever leads them to purchase products from Apple.

It's a consumer speaker, priced on par with professional (albeit entry level, but still professional) hardware. It's no wonder apple is offering these at 50% off to employees. That is the only reason there is one sitting at my house right now, because at that price it's worth it as a speaker, despite the shortcomings.

Just not worth it for almost everyone else.
Ah yes, a perfect microcosm example of what's wrong with people who think "PC" types are being "too sensitive". They, and you, seem to think that everything in the world is hunky dory, and the only problems that exist in the world are a tiny subset of "jerks" who are intentionally so. And can't we call just get along and keep the jerks on the sidelines?

This view is very popular but it is completely counterfactual and ahistorical. Firstly, it completely ignores the issue that it is possible to hurt other people without intending to do so. This is something that is basically impossible to not do as an ordinary flawed human being. You will hurt other people, period. You will do it, I will do it, everyone will do it. The question is how do you respond. If your response to being called out on hurting other people is to say "no, that didn't happen, you weren't hurt, your hurts are imaginary, because I didn't intend any hurt, I will not change my behavior and you can go fuck yourself for hurting my feelings" well, you had a moment of opportunity to not hurt someone intentionally and you lost it. You can no longer claim the mantle of "not intentionally hurting other people" after that point. On the other hand if you take the time to engage with being called out, educate yourself, and understand why someone has been hurt by what you said then maybe you have a chance of not being seen as a jerk.

Secondly, we do not live in a utopia. We live in a civilization where the most apt metaphor is a city built on top of a hill of skulls. There are a lot of skeletons in our civilizational closet, and we have not yet expunged the taint of all those crimes and misdeeds from our society. There are still long lasting impacts and there are still enormous instances of institutionalized sexism, racism, nativism, and so forth in our society, culture, and systems of government. Pretending those don't exist, pretending that simply adopting a stance of neutrality is tantamount to "being a good guy" is giving those institutionalized forms of injustice legitimacy.

Not everyone can simply go around day to day pretending glibly that these problems don't exist. For some the actions of even a small minority dramatically impact their lives (how safe they are day to day, for example), for many more the institutionalized injustices that still exist in society affect every day of their entire lives in profound ways. And when they see people like you who try to tell them that it's not a big problem, they are going to speak up and they're going to be right to do so.

These things might not be a crisis to you but you should consider yourself fortunate you have that advantage.
Did you graduate from college? No judgments from me if you didn't (my family tree is richly populated with smart and successful people who didn't) but the way you're talking about college reminds me, perhaps wrongly, of the way I might have talked about sex in high school. With enthusiasm and a reliance on theory rather than experience.

OTOH, if you attended college I'm pretty curious what that was like for you.
