Yeah, my whole point is that when you have an order of magnitude difference in cost per calorie between two food items, that allows for an order of magnitude difference in externalities/subsidies/whatever.

Yes, absolutely nothing. It can surely be an interesting exercise in aesthetics (admittedly it's beautiful to look at) and taste mixing, but I see it more related to tasting than eating.

> "I guess this is right if config files are only machine read and written."

No, I meant omitting these features is very useful for humans reading and writing config files. Comments utterly don't belong in config files. They belong in the sections of code that load specific config files and convert their contents into defaults or parameters.

A config file is just some file. Its contents have no conventional meaning. It only takes on a meaning in the context of the specific system that uses it.

Was the item shipped and sold from Amazon? I admit they don't make this distinction very clear on their product page, and they make it way too easy to be a third-party seller on their site, but it makes a huge difference. Chances are you were talking directly to a third-party seller and not Amazon. I have had nothing but great experiences dealing with Amazon directly.
Every single government primary and secondary education system on Earth is a direct descendant of the Prussian one. Non-existent to very limited choice of how one spends ones time, constant ranking and grading to inure people to dominance behaviours that do not come naturally, and all in groups that are age normed rather than competence or ability normed.

School doesn’t have a singular purpose because there’s no one out there who designed it but learning definitely isn’t in the top five things it does. The people who did design the progenitor of modern school systems designed it to get people to sit down, shut up and do as they were told, and to love the government.

At the risk of sounding like an old grumpy guy[0], isn't this kind of what Java[0] set out to achieve some 20 years ago?

I am in no position to compare the two by any metric other than age. But I am old enough to appreciate how such ideas tend return every couple of decades.

Is this an IT thing, or is this phenomenon known in other areas, too?

[0] I am not even that old, and I do my best to not be grumpy.

[1] Yes, yes, Smalltalk, too. But Java - AFAIK - was the first language that aimed for platform-independent bytecode + network delivery of code (Applets, Webstart).
I think that’s a pretty cynical view. You could just as easily say it’s about discipline. To be successful in pretty much anything requires discipline and some level of regimented behaviour.
I have just tested it with the following procedure:
- Extract some text from a facebook post.
- Put that text in a file (resulting size 1869 bytes)
- Encode a message of 8 bytes on it. Resulting output file size of 1956 bytes.
- Copy the output to a new FB post.
- Extract the text from the new FB post.
- Found that FB removes all added whitespace and the size of the copied text is exactly the initial one: 1869 bytes

So I cannot use it :D
A lot of beliefs are neither true nor false, but rather "self-fulfilling". If you believe that you lack the ability to succeed professionally, you aren't going to put in the effort to try, which means you won't succeed. If you believe you're fundamentally unlovable, you will shy away from trying to connect with other people, because it just means you'll be rejected and hurt anyways. If you believe everyone is out to get you, you'll behave in a self-interested and paranoid way, which will scare off anyone who just wants to help so that everyone remaining really is out to get you. If you believe therapy is completely unhelpful, you won't listen to anything the therapist says and so it will be unhelpful.

The role of therapy is usually to break these "causality loops" by first introducing the idea that there is another possible way of interpreting these perceptions, and secondly asking the patient "Well, what kind of life do you want to have, and how can you get there?" A good therapist doesn't encourage people to dwell on negative perceptions; rather, they should be encouraging you to acknowledge the thought, and then also come up with other possible framings, explore what you really want, and act on that.

Causality vs. correlation is somewhat immaterial: the point is that your cognition is both a reflection of the world as it is and a driver for how you would like it to be, and so it functions as a feedback loop. If you're getting good results in your life it's a good feedback loop, but if something is wrong and you haven't been able to fix it, it can be helpful to have a trusted outsider who can point out your unspoken assumptions.

Good luck tracking down data from ~50 year old studies published in 1970. Further, their is little point in replicating old studies so often that's all we got.

Consider Couchbase. It uses a combination of asynchronous writes and automatic replication to do a pretty good job of giving low latency writes even at high volume, while also ensuring data integrity. And since reads are served from the cache if possible, you usually get really good read performance as well.

Because the problem isn't technical, it's political.

I presume the author used the Bharat 2 Q402. I dug out some specs:

- Android 6.0

- 4" 24-bit 480x800 TFT LCD (capacitative of course)

- Quad-core 1.3GHz Spreadtrum SC9832 (Cortex-A7)

- Dual-core Mali-400 MP2 (512MHz)

- 512MB RAM

- 4GB of storage

- 2MP rear camera (1600x1200 photo, 640x480 (!) 30fps video)

- 300k (haha) front camera

That's kind of all over the shop, but 4 cores at 1.3GHz, ARM notwithstanding, is fundamentally decent from a bare-metal standpoint.

512MB RAM is also not entirely terrible - I could limp (albeit badly) with ~70 tabs in Firefox (back in the memory leak days) on a machine with 512MB RAM many years ago.

So really this is entirely the Android ecosystem's fault. When I say "ecosystem" I'm obviously looking sideways at app developers, but the OS core could probably be designed a little better too.

But neither are. I strongly think this is due to precedent: nobody is penalized for making apps that perform well on non-flagship devices. Indeed, app development on Android seems to strongly mirror (to the point of there really being no dividing line) iOS development - and in the Apple camp lots of websites are only tested on Macbooks nowadays, so it seems that designers/architects are increasingly getting away with not doing the grunt work to test.

Maybe this is because of simple bubble-sheltered designer snobbishness ("that kind of work is below me"). Maybe there's a bit of "and a lid for your coffee cup will be $3" (where the coffee cup lid, representing adequate testing, was previously included for free) in the mix as well.

If only phones were a bit more standardized (think x86 ISA), we could bring the demoscene over to them. Rip Linux out, show what the hardware can _really_ do, generate some popular demand, and actually set a standard for OS vendors to meet.

Because right now the only standard is "next year's phones will have more X, so build in a way that will need so much of that the current device is really straining".
Trust me, I couldn't imagine it either. My guess is it actually probably broke on the second John Smith that joined, and they had to manually configure all subsequent John Smiths, and they just wait until they get a ticket.

I'm still not following you here. Sure, housing is cheap in and around Detroit or wherever but you explicitly requested we discuss Manhattan.

Now, in Manhattan the city center is expensive. However, very near the city center, housing can be affordable while still having a reasonable commute. This is because of density.

> SV does not have cheap housing close to jobs largely due to geographic issues. It has a tiny strip of land that can be developed so all of it is going to be expensive.

You are totally wrong here. The housing is expensive due to undersupply which is brought about by restrictions on zoning. There is a huge amount of land to build on but zoning laws require that most of the land here be used for detached single family homes.

I read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. It will go down as the one of the best books I have read in my life. I have written the review for that book here - http://xtoinfinity.com/posts/2018/05/04/book-review-guns-ger...
There are not valid environment or social reasons to avoid meat.

Cattle is the most efficient way to produce calories in a dry region in which water rather than land is the binding constraint (Western U.S., middle east, north africa). Crops are the most efficient way to produce calories in regions where land rather than water is the binding constraint (e.g. China, Northwest Europe).

The idea that one is necessarily more efficient than the other as a food is pure B.S. It just depends on where that food is grown.

There is a reason why the societies in the fertile crescent began with cattle culture, and continued to raise cattle in areas where water is more costly than land. Dry areas like that produce scrub and grasses, which is inedible to humans, but edible by cows. That's why we graze the cows in areas where we can't eat the natural crops, and instead we eat the cows. This is the most efficient method, most environmentally friendly method, and is the long standing practice of all societies living in dry regions.

This notion that the peculiar environment constraints that bind in northwest europe bind globally is either ignorance or bigotry.

Really, if they wanted to virtue signal, they should ban cotton, which takes up a lot of water, and is grown in areas that shouldn't be growing cotton. As good a case can be made against grains as against cattle.

This is just bumper sticker virtue signalling and has no place in the business world.
Working is shit. But working can be rewarding, even if it's not what gives you the biggest and longest dopamine hit.

I don't know exactly what my passion is. I know that I love coding, and solving problems that I care about. I also know that I love telling stories, trying new things, and generally feeling good.

I also know that pain feels bad and that hardship makes me question my choices.

But for all of this, I'm content with my life and where I think I'll be in five years, probably.

I think that's plenty. And if I think that's plenty, doesn't that mean my life is good enough?

The problem is that times have changed. Back then the scenario you are describing was everyone. Right now, if you were to go 'back' to that life, you will be an outcast. People won't understand why you don't respond to their messages. If you explain them, people have to make an exception in communication just for you. That gets annoying, and you will be skipped over easier.

Absolutely - I've seen native apps struggle to provide the same animation performance as our PWA. It is hard work though, and I've seen even the best web devs fall short on performance. We luckily hired an absolute gem of a developer that thoroughly understood JS and CSS animations. We make sure we retain her, because her work makes our PWA infinitely more usable.
> If the driver looks down or away from the road for two seconds, a visual warning will appear on the Eon’s screen. After four seconds, the driver will hear an audible alert. And after six seconds, the system will disengage and begin to slow down.

The biggest use of some kind of driver assist system is something that can keep me going straight and at a constant speed on a relatively open road while I twist open a bottle cap and take a sip of a drink. Making me have a death stare out of the windshield to avoid disengagement is about as useful as standard cruise control. Except standard cruise control isn't going to be prone to making a mistake about whether or not I'm paying attention, and then stopping my car because it isn't satisfied.

Point taken, but it doesn't mean that the scope and requirements of elevator travel are directly comparable to road travel. Car driving has not only more axes of allowed movement, but several magnitudes more variables. The skill floor for operating an elevator has more or less been the same, and easy enough for someone without any training. But driving a car today still requires weeks of education, as it did decades ago.

I've heard that books also have a high counterfeiting rate on Amazon. Over lunch with Paul Horowitz a couple of years ago he mentioned that he's had to fight to get counterfeits of "The Art of Electronics" taken down.

I read on here a while back about FBA inventory getting comingled, but I'm unclear on whether Amazon's own inventory gets comingled as well. Anecdotally I haven't received a counterfeit of anything shipped and sold by Amazon.

People who know what they're doing technically are deeply aware of the issues with their technology. Anyone in this area knows how hard it is to make these vehicles work. He is finding out the reality of what he promised two years late and is spinning it to get more attention.
No, the scenario back then was a group of maybe 60 people at most.

The scenario now is also a group of maybe 60 people. Those 60 people are not so high strung as to require a response immediately.

This assumes a best case scenario and a good therapist. When it works, it's a good thing.

But you can't ignore the fact that therapists are people too and may be injecting their own bullshit into the equation rather than helping the person sort their own crap out of the equation.

I mean, I upvoted you and I think it's a good comment, but I have had lots of serious personal problems where other people wanting to "help" was really other people wanting to insist on keeping me down and expecting me to be grateful for it. Many of the more well meaning types wanted to help me, but not enough that I could genuinely stand on my own two feet. They wanted metaphorically get me out of the wheelchair and walking, but they wanted me to always need a crutch so that they could be needed because they needed to be needed or they couldn't imagine anyone could genuinely love them or want to friends if they weren't desperately needed by someone who couldn't cope on their own.
