My pet prediction is that nuclear annihilation will solve climate change. Now that we've forgotten how bad nuclear war is and destabilized all the major superpowers, it's going to become very tempting for some splinter group (or orange-haired maniac) to press the Big Red Button and launch WW3. Nuclear winter has a global cooling effect that's significantly larger than the global warming effect of global warming, plus if you get rid of all the humans you get rid of human-caused climate change.
I'm considering it. I went to public school my entire life but I've spent the better part of the last decade with self-directed learning (programming).

I think it's that combined with my belief that our current educational model is broken and inefficient (as well as articles like these) that makes me want to explore unschooling more. Thanks for sharing these links.

The problem is that the original intent of buying such a device has now been subsumed under a tech company and government agenda, the surveillance state. When you see Ring on the shelf everywhere, it isn't advertised as a way to surveil you and your family, to scan your face and report your video and audio to cops.

This reminds me of 23 and Me which acts like it's helping you but, by signing up, you agree to help Big Pharma and cops keep track of you.

It might be difficult to understand for later generations but we really did think things would end like this.

If you are doubtful take a look at this video the UK government put out in the seventies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXx5Y2Fr2bk
so you're saying that there are a number of formerly rich families at the time who have not made it to the present with wealth intact? I guess that seems reasonable, but don't have any data yet. On the other hand there should still be some wealth today that was not among the wealthiest then?

(of course I wonder how much of that maintaining wealth was - instead of gold, art, and land - strategic marriage)

> No way you are telling me backend folks want to spend their day writing front end css code and compiling modejs.

I said nothing about want to. Want to and capable of are two different things. If somebody wants to just be a back end dev (or front end, or iOS, or...), by all means, go right ahead. I won't stop them. I don't want to do Android development, but I could if I needed to (after some spin-up time).

But I disagree with the idea that they are so wildly divergent that no mere mortal can grasp them. People in this thread are really selling themselves short with their knowledge, which is more transferable than they realize.

> Certainly, if and when you are ‘full stack’ you can and may do both.....but that implies both exist to begin with.

Not too long ago, both didn't exist and everyone was a web developer. And before that we were just programmers. It's a fairly recent idea.

Highlights:

- recognizing double-parked vehicles and making progress past them by carefully proceeding in the oncoming (dashed yellow line) lane,

- making challenging left turns with oncoming cars, safely recognizing unpredictable pedestrian activity but still making progress,

- recognizing traffic cones and obeying a temporary merge right sign.

This is a fun video - it suggests they can assume some more complex and adaptable strategies.

I would like to see them deal with a flag-person directing traffic. Those folks are poorly trained in my experience and give ad hoc signals. It may come down to properly training people to consistently signal self-driving cars.
Build up your Chess by Artur Yusopov (3 books in each level, 3 levels from novice through to master strength).

Fundamental Chess Endings (Muller and Lamprecht)

Fundamental Chess Openings (Sterren).

A good games database - The best free one is this http://caissabase.co.uk/ (It's my project so I might be biased but it is the best free one I've found, it exists because I couldn't find a great free one that was always updated at least monthly) and Chess DB software (ScidVsPC is open source).

That and playing and analyzing your own games is all you'd need (apart from a massive commitment to improvement) to get to Category A (1800-2000USCF.

If you feel like throwing in another (cheap) book I like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mammoth-Book-Chess-Books/dp/1845299... as it's a weighty dense cheap book you can throw in a bag and not care about getting beat up.
The article makes it feel like these changes happened because less people are enlisting or know people enlisting. I think that’s just another symptom of how some military programs lost a lot of legitimacy in the minds of some of my generation who were coming of age around the war on terror. It’s hard to feel like the good guys in a lot of these issues like drone warfare against non-combatants, and so the military was never a career I considered as a result, and I suspect I am not alone?

Edit: I’ll add, my generation clearly remembers 9/11 and the response to it. I think it’s not a lack of awareness of the current mission but _because_ of awareness to parts of it that many people write off the military.

When you research the mega rich across time, up until the 21st century, you learn a lot of weird things. Some are things most people would call “conspiracy theories”. Some are things you would expect but can’t imagine actually happening (like closely protecting blood lines).

The point I made was not that Buzzfeed is left-wing as a reason for doubting it as a source for objective classifications, Le Monde is left-wing as well as reputable and likewise is Heterodox academy, but that rigor is needed in your definition of fake news and that the classification should be statistically controlled for political bias. Buzzfeed seems like a rather odd source if you seek to achieve those goals.

The sentence: Firstly, because they used to be written sufficiently well that they never crashed, because competent people wrote them. IS an appeal to a golden age. Because it's not true. People did write services that crashed and sysadmins had to work around them. I know this to be the case because I had to work with a particularly egregious example. Whether you think the older methods for managing them were better is one thing, but those problems existed and they caused lots of damage.
Imagine if all engineers had boycotted weapons development due to the heinous nature of napalm firebombing in WW2. US military competency stagnates at the stage of napalm. Would that actually change the behavior of the government's military, or would they continue to use napalm in Vietnam and beyond? As history has borne out, I think the latter is the case. The gov will assume it is the best tool so far to do the job, and preferable to the prior alternative of mass cannon bombardment and infantry deployment.

Development of smart munitions, better sensors/intel, and targeting precision has reduced the scale of military operations, entrenchment, and collateral damage. I think that was a form of technological disruption that was overall for the better.

There's a valid counter-argument that making war smaller and easier will lubricate the willingness for politicians (and the public) to enter into war, or maintain a state of pseudo-war. That is certainly a drawback.

It has a constitution, it's just not on a single document because unlike the US the country was not formed in 1776. The UK is one of the oldest political systems in the world, and already had enormous political and legal complexity at the time the United States declared independence, because of long legal history and the fact that it was running a global empire at the time.

It is completely non-sensical to expect such a nation to have a single document where the constitution is written. It's fucking easy to just write a constitution on a single piece of paper when it's done upon forming the country. It is extremely hard when you have laws going back to the 13th century and you ran a global empire up until the 1950s. It absolutely does have a constitution, and it's a constitutional monarchy, but it simply doesn't have it written on a single piece of paper.

What I'm far more interested in criticising about your idiotic comment is instead that it's just logically flawed. The critique itself originates from Princeton University, which is not a British institution, and the BBC is simply writing an opinion piece on it. Furthermore, what exactly does the BBC have to do with the politics and history of why the UK doesn't have a single piece of paper outlining its constitution? Your comment is practically just an ad-hominem.
Nice to see relational DBs before NoSQL (learning the old and tried before the new). To follow that same pattern, SOAP should be earlier than REST. Taking a WSDL and running it through a client code generator is a fast and type-safe way to develop.
soundwave106 replied in another message with the sources. Buzzfeed seems to be the primary source of the classifications, a far-left organization, so the conclusion is with all likelihood predetermined by politically motivated definitions of fake news.

These are the classification sources according to soundwave106:

A) The primary source was a list of fake news sites compiled by Buzzfeed Media [1]

B) The study was cross-checked with a list of sites from a peer reviewed paper (H. Allcott, M. Gentzkow, Social media and fake news in the 2016 election. J. Econ. Perspect. 31, 211–236 (2017)) and according to the paper was similar to buzzfeed suggesting an ideological tilt.

There is some additional methodology in the study link.

What about the location and GPS hardware and the security and privacy concerns that come with them? I'd rather just give up nav.

But that's not how money works. Banks don't loan money they have on deposit. They loan money they create from thin air, and are required to have a certain amount of deposits to potentially cover that if their exchanges with another bank become too imbalanced. That's what's called "leverage."

> - Are you performance-constrained? NO.

A significant portion of issues filed against journald are performance related.

It's undesirable to have a bunch of mallocs and frees in the hot path of logging. It's not inappropriate to use the stack where possible, obviously in this case user-controlled input was being trusted where it shouldn't have.

There have been many problems of this sort in journald, where the nature of the user-controlled input has the ability to bring journald to its knees in a global manner.

Prior to the process metadata caching, you could cause journald to go absolutely nuts querying the sending processes metadata from /proc by sending it messages full of newlines. Every newline-separated field is treated as a separate message with its own metadata to be acquired. The routines for fetching all that stuff from /proc granularly allocated and freed the data via libc as well, it was very painful.

Things are better now, but you still can't log particularly high rates through journald compared to a simple O_APPEND style logger like syslogd. Programs synchronously logging debug messages quickly become slowed down by journald pinning a CPU.

You can still cause a world of hurt by spamming journald with tiny emergency messages, each of which forces a sync of the journal. But a user can also run `while true; do sync; done`
I'm not trying to make a different front-end for lichess but rather something similar to playok.com, from scratch, so it takes quite a bit of time. I haven't been working on the project for more than a year unfortunately, but so far:

- I've got the core UI framework mostly ready, unfortunately still undocumented but most components should be ready for production [1]

- Some core structures, like a Hierarchical State Machine implementation I made, should be good enough [2]

- I've implemented some games like tic-tac-toe and chess, but focusing mostly on the logic of the game rather than the UI or anything else really for now. I have a usable chessboard component but it's not really any good for production use.

- Database-wise pretty much everything still needs to be developed.

- The server/cloud infrastructure still needs to be developed.

- I still haven't quite figured out what the best way to push updates to the app is, given that you don't want to disrupt current games almost at all but you still want to push bug fixes to everyone.

To be sure, SAAS companies put more resources into making the implementation convenient to setup and use, and to provide revenue, but there's no reason that setup and usability issues wouldn't also be dealt with in generic DVR systems if the same effort was expended.

I agree with you regarding the reading of boilerplate; that's in particular why I like JDBI. It abstracts the boilerplate of building out a data access layer; you write an interface and it automatically builds the implementation from parameterized SQL queries on the classpath.

Between that and Spring Boot (which is fairly batteries-included but makes it clear when you're going off the happy path in ways I can deal with), I feel remarkably good about my choices with this and similar recent projects.
Sure, but why the trivial prefix? Doesn't sound too ensuring then.
Need? No. Could reasonably be better at development if they did? Yes.

Nobody "needs" anything, so it's not a fair standard to set.
