We're not headed toward dystopia by acknowledging some students / degrees have more financial potential than others, and I think we're already increasingly seeing the societal impacts of what happens when we let the idealistic and unrealistic choices of teenagers go unquestioned until their mid-twenties.

Using taxpayer funds to make those idealistic and unrealistic choices more appealing and less immediately problematic doesn't help the student or society in the long term.

Again, there are shades of opinion on this. There are many leavers who are all for lowered barriers to trade and recognise the stranglehold the European Economic Area has on standards. I'd be quite happy in the EEA, for instance. Your argument is a little reductive and black/white.
Trump's (by policy at least) an anti-democratic racist right authoritarian.

He's not a libertarian by any stretch, though a right libertarian might tend to agree with his views on what government should not do. (Though if the “libertarian” part means anything, probably have strong disagreements with much of what he deployed government to do.)

This way is great, it's not the one I use but I have no issue with it.

I prefer to use SASS variables along with a strict build system that refused to build if the developer isn't using variables that are injected via a config YAML file. In the end, we are both working in a similar way.

That being said, ".u-colorPrimary" is great. You can easily refactor it and it should scale well. However, ".bg-orange" and ".text-white" aren't great.

This button from the article is really bad:

<a class="text-xl rounded bg-orange pt-1 pb-1 pr-4 pl-4 text-white hover:text-white no-underline leading-loose" href="#">

They should at the very least made a component with the styles and then apply via ".button" class.
Maybe you are an exception but once they're in a survival situation most people would welcome any means to be found.
Correct, the problem is edge routers unwrapping and inspecting tls packets before forwarding to the internal network. So it’s not wasted due to tls.

I mean it’s still a dumb waste of cpu cycles to support unfixed/unfixable routers, but there isn’t really a choice. Womp womp.
The Sparc V8 running Solaris took hundreds of clock cycles to handle traps, so some languages actually performed better by ignoring the register windows and avoiding the overflow/underflow traps. This one bad implementation hurt the reputation of the idea in general even though Sparc V9 improved this significantly.

People also like to point out that the original NIOS processor from Altera had register windows but they were eliminated from the NIOS II. What they forget to mention is that Altera claimed this allowed them to make a smaller core "without hurting performance too much". Which means that the register windows version was faster, not slower like they want to imply.

From what I see in discussions about blockchain hype, blockchain is conflated with cryptocurrency by largely ignorant opinions on the Internet.

I concede this:
It's true that a blockchain is just an distributed immutable series of transactions, aka a slower database. I agree that that's overhyped and people don't need things like IBM Hyperledger, and basically any private blockchain or one that depends on trusted parties(the great majority of coins that boast to be faster than Bitcoin).

However, I believe all that misses the actual point and proves the ignorance of most such articles, because it is also true that cryptocurrencies solve the previously unsolved double spending problem and provide true, distributed, open-to-all decision making. Of course, from this I exclude the great majority of centralized shitcoin cash grabs / delusions.

Yes, there are scaling issues which might never be surmounted (I'd call it 50-50 that things like Lightning Network / Ethereum sharding will succeed One Day™). However, having an open, open source global payment/calculation/information network is a thing of great potential.

From what I recall, parents had to save for their kids college, and if you didn't have a college savings fund then you worked your butt off in high school in order to qualify for scholarships. And you worked a side job to pay your way through college. And a lot of people didn't go to college, because a lot of people could get really good (decent paying) jobs without it.

They refer to themselves and some of their software as NX multiple times. Nitrux OS is the full name of NXOS, just like RedHat Enterprise Linux is for RHEL.

Yeah. The cool kids hate the popular stuff. It's been like that for as long as I can find out. I think it just comes with the territory.

You have people shitting on China, US, Russia, then the next post is people shitting on the people shitting on China, US, Russia. The next post is something about Canada being so different than (insert superpower here) if they were a superpower, but the next comment is saying that they would be no different.

In the end, I'm pretty sure it's all stupid bullshit that really doesn't matter. I really doubt that any of these comments are going to change the world. I'm also pretty sure that there isn't a single country in this world that is all flowers and sunshine. Every place has their dirty laundry, and every place is made up of so many different pieces that it's almost always a poor call to say "that entire country is bad."

So very much like this comment, it adds nothing of value to the conversation. It's usually just people trying to "one up" others on the internet of whatever reason they feel to defend the place they like better than the others. Some are really good, insightful and well researched comments, don't get me wrong, but damn near every single thread about anything like this devolves into my side is better than your side after a short period of time.

Another example is people vehemently defending their color (red / blue) and saying that the color the other person likes better (red / blue) is the worst. I may be stupid and naive, but I do believe that there is a happy medium somewhere. Then again, my opinions don't matter to some because of where I was born I guess.

/before people get upset

I'm guilty of it as well. I'm guilty of all of the things I'm bitching about. I do try to change though because isn't that a part of growing up? Learning and changing to make the world (something of) a better place?

Anyway, as far as I can tell, it's just some newfangled tribe mentality and a bit of the ol' sunk cost fallacy. Who really likes being told they're wrong about something they are heavily invested in? I still get that feeling when reading some comments that that person can't be right, but I stop, read and maybe that comment is the one that changes my POV or maybe not.

The mind is still very mysterious.

I suppose we should also balance out how work is structured around those countries. Some governments prefer setting up and staffing their own agency for a given sector or situation rather than going full outsourcing. So people who would be working in the private sector still end up in public jobs even with a socialized healthcare system.

Universal healthcare would actually make it much more affordable for employers to hire people too. So they could hire more people and maybe even pay them more.
How do you see individualism as a problem? Our courts have generally upheld free speech rights pretty rigorously, and we a have a pretty strong capitalist ethos, i.e., a right to property.

The worst symptoms of individualism, in my opinion, come mostly from a general American distaste for public programs, like, say, single-payer (government) health care.

Generally, I feel like America has the most problems with a representative democracy. Our winner-take-all system naturally leads to two parties, and public opinion doesn't actually influence policy. Money influences policy. I see that as the big problem, not individualism.

I think the thing that people really like about Elon Musk is that he just doesn't care about the interpersonal social status dynamics at play with his position in the world. If you look at the interview, he's very dismissive of Kara's questioning about how others perceive him:

Kara: What’s Twitter? Okay, let’s start with Twitter. I have an obsession with Twitter, too, and an addiction. What happens with you and Twitter?

Elon: Well, I tweet interesting things pretty much as they come to me, and probably with not much of a filter.

Kara: And why?

Elon: I find it entertaining. I think, “Oh, other people might find this entertaining.” Sometimes they do.

Kara: Just at night? What are you, at home you’re doing this?

Elon: Yeah. Mostly at home. I spend a lot less time on Twitter than people probably think. It’s like maybe 10-15 minutes or something.

Kara: Yeah, well people pay attention when you do that.

And then he continues on to legitimize his tone by showing his prowess in entrepreneurship and science:

Kara: Do you take criticism to heart correctly?

Elon: Yes.

Kara: Give me an example of something if you could.

Elon: How do you think rockets get to orbit?

Kara: That’s a fair point.

Elon: Not easily. Physics is very demanding. If you get it wrong, the rocket will blow up. Cars are very demanding. If you get it wrong, a car won’t work. Truth in engineering and science is extremely important.

Kara: Right. And therefore?

Elon: I have a strong interest in the truth.

Kara: All right. And you are —

Elon: Much more than journalists do.

I think people find this kind of backed-up braggadocio incredibly entertaining and exciting to watch, it makes Elon musk an irresistible personality to follow.

I agree that documentation is a struggle, esp. in the nixpkgs repository. Ideally the maintainers would insist on a "pedantic" level of documentation to help newcomers to onboard themselves.

The Nix Pills series was very helpful, and I like the pedagogical approach he takes there. The Nix documentation itself feels overly dry and academic (which perhaps makes sense given the author's background). I think the world is ripe for a good "Real World Nix" book to lay out an easier path.

i didn't test opera nor brave, but neither should have any issues either, as they're just chrome forks at this point.

Hi, first author here! Feel free to ask any questions.

TL;DR: We prove that linear word analogies hold over a set of ordered pairs (e.g., {(Paris, France), (Ottawa, Canada), ...}) in an SGNS or GloVe embedding space with no reconstruction error when PMI(x,y) + log p(x,y) is the same for every word pair (x,y). We call this term the csPMI (co-occurrence shifted PMI). This has a number of interesting implications:

1. It implies that Pennington et al. (authors of GloVe) had the right intuition about why these analogies hold.

2. Adding two word vectors together to compose them makes sense, because you're implicitly downweighting the more frequent word -- like TF-IDF or SIF would do explicitly.

3. Using Euclidean distance to measure word dissimilarity make sense because the Euclidean distance is a linear function of the negative csPMI.
It's about the same between an M0 and a HiFive1. They're both simple RISCs pretty much straight out of Patterson & Hennessy.
Before the 1 TB, I remember the upload limits to be 300 MB. Given the image sizes back then, it would have taken you 3 months to reach the current limits.

Also the yearly subscription for removing the limits was dirt cheap, I remember it being something like $20 per year.
Why doesn't the lender require the borrower to explain how they plan to repay?

No lender ever asks that. Lenders ask themselves, "how will I be repayed? And in the case of default?" In most cases, the answers are "by the borrower" and "take the house or car, the sale of which will offset some of the loss".

In the case of student loans, the answer to the second question is "the U. S. government will pay it, in cash". There is zero incentive to determine how the borrower will repay.
No more broken css when a dev modified the html structure and didn’t realize that one of the hundreds of lines of css now doesn’t get applied right.

You can achieve the same, but with much less clutter using BEM. Or even better: BEM + SASS.
I am curious why this is a hugely unpopular fact.
I think "why is everything slow" is actually a really important question, but I'm not sure it's primarily lots of "this is cheap compared to X" decisions. A big driver here I think is layers of abstractions and inner platforms. I check my email in by browser now, I used to use mutt. Webmail on top of JS on top of browser on top of OS (with several of those systems having their own layers and places that add latency) is great from a perspective of checking email from anywhere but it's a lot slower than C on the OS directly.

I recently got into doing a lot of live music for dances on my mac, and I've ended up writing everything directly against CoreMIDI in C. Sure, it's would be more convenient to write in Python, but latency in music is even more painful than elsewhere.
Different flights and tickets give you a different number of miles. If you are serious about accumulating miles you can spend a great deal of time and effort attempting to optimising how many miles you earn.

Lenders, through lobbying and regulatory capture, created the system. At least as I see things.
I was thinking this too as a chicken and egg issue.

My propose solution is having "guildmasters" who somewhat manages each role. Making sure they are not scamming. These people I would know/vet in the beginning as people willing to do this initial work. Also implementing reviews for a vetter so that the vetter is held accountable.

Another solution is having the ability to hire multiple vetters to get multiple vet layers. Still will be cheaper than hiring an agency.
Can you elaborate? I can't agree with you. Tailwind is meant to provide a consistent design system, of which CSS size should never get out of hand (which is the case then using regular CSS). Whenever I use Tailwind, I end up adding maybe 20-30 lines of CSS and I never have to open a CSS (or other sass/less/whatever) ever again. Have you tried Tailwind or you're just assuming what you're saying?
