Thanks for the note.

Imposter syndrome is definitely a reality, and something that has really burned me in the past (the situation I described is about a decade old now) but I think I'm managing that well enough now. Or at least, in line with fears that the economy can tank badly, that I can get crippled in a car accident, stroke, etc.

> talking about these types of things helps

Absolutely - I've been looking. So far one counselor and I agreed it wasn't working (she "fired" me (graciously) at the appt that I was going to do the same) and another -I- declared wasn't working (I was too (over)analytical for someone who wanted to bulldoze over that), but finding therapists with openings that took my insurance was not going well. New job in the last few months means new insurance, so I'm trying again now that the holidays are over.
Apple introduced some issues in recent generations of hardware that I haven't heard many people talk about. A recent Macbook and Macbook Pro with USB-C using an Apple's USB-C to HDMI adapter had terrible connection issues for me. I did hear a few references online from others with the same issue. Using a 2009 and 2011 Thunderbolt to HDMI the same monitor worked fine.

I fixed the issue by using a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter made by a third party. I think that also allowed 4k at 60Hz. I later switched to a multi-port adapter with HDMI out and didn't have this problem.

This problem was horrible noise and loss of connection. People hate dongles for the convenience and price factor, but I think everyone underestimates how it introduces technical and compatibility issues.
I recall that statement was much easier to make back when my job was sitting in a chair all day. :-)

I am guilty of driving just to travel a mile, on occasion. When you do physical labor, have to carry your own tools, go to work before sunrise, and may not be done until well after midnight, it's really nice to know that when you get off shift at 3am you'll be able to hit the pillow 10 minutes later.

The bus sounds like nice solution, but it's more expensive ... and it shuts down entirely for the 4 hours that I'd need it most (1am-5am).

BTW, that's one of the major problems with public transit around Seattle. Rent is terrible, traffic is terrible, parking is terrible, and it's easy to say "so just take the bus", but we don't run the bus at hours when a lot of blue-collar workers need it.
Education costs (college and up) are increasing because institutions have no incentive to manage tuition costs if the default assumption is that people will take out loans to pay them anyway.
In my opinion, "top-down" learning based on one's needs and wants works better.

I want to write some text and show it on my browser. (Learn some basic HTML)

I want to add some styling to the text I just wrote. (Learn some basic CSS and understand how it relates to the HTML you wrote previously.)

OK, now I want to publish what I wrote so I can show off to my friends. (Learn basics of static hosting and uploading files to a web server.)

I want to add a timestamp to the page that automatically updates when the page loads. (Learn what JavaScript is and how it relates to web pages.)

And so on. Travel down the rabbit hole and pick up new concepts and tools as you need them. This will keep you motivated, unlike "bottom-up" learning where you learn concepts first without a clear idea of when and why you might need them (if ever).

It's a failure to understand how any of it actually works. There was a comment higher up how many older people have memorized steps to complete tasks, but have no understanding of underlying concepts. Despite 2 decades of effort on my part, my father has paper notebooks full of step by step instructions how to do things with his computer, but not a shred of understanding of any of the underlying concepts. Also, he was shocked to learn that the internet runs on money and advertising. He can do about 5 common tasks on it, and he has strict instructions never to enter any personal or financial information into any computer.
Just tried it out. Used ngrok to tunnel port 22 of my laptop and ssh'd into it from jslinux (my laptop has no public DNS entry and my home network is not on IPv6 yet).

It does work.
There never was a "safety net." It was just that times were good and there was other opportunity. If you failed out of college in 1950 you could still get a good job in a factory without being crushed by debt. If you committed a crime you could move across the country and not tell anyone.
For me it's true especially on a laptop. Mousing is even more painful on a laptop than a desktop.

This is an amazing attempt to decipher the root of the “political differences that weren’t”

I think this could be iterated upon in a slightly more academic form. The way the author writes has academic wording and sources, mixed with collquialisms, slang and almost unavoidable bias as it unfortunately requires a starting point. It is deciphering this because of the reputational benefits of treating trump voters as inherently bad and then trying to decipher their motives as potentially rational agents. Its so close, but dilutes itself in a couples ways that I think can be tweaked.

Thanks for the thoughts
Study: Head Start improves kids’ lives. But we’re still finding out just how
As someone who started learning JS in October ‘17 and is now reasonably good at React, this resonates with me.

Yeah sure, I know a bunch of stuff on that list. SemVer? Yeah, I get what the numbers mean. I google the ^x.x.x syntax, whatever.

ESLint, Prettier, yep, install and drop a .config file somewhere. Copy someone else’s. It’s hardly rocket science.

Webpack, I know that it exists and as soon as the defaults installed by create-react-app break, I’ll figure it out.

This is a big list but let’s not pretend that you need to be an expert in any great amount of it to get something made. And the purpose is right there at the top:

“The purpose of these roadmaps is to give you an idea about the landscape and to guide you if you are confused about what to learn next and not to encourage you to pick what is hip and trendy.”

I think it does that pretty well. Settle down a bit, everyone.

People have varying level of testosterone in their bodies. Different bodies react to the same hormones differently. There are a lot of variables that contribute to who we are and how we experience life. Traditional gender standards push all sorts of people into certain boxes that a lot of people don't fit into comfortably and that causes a lot of people hardship. This is just recognizing a certain pattern that is generally harmful towards people subjected to it. It's fine to be competitive. It isn't okay to pressure people into being competitive because they "should" be to fit into their assigned role.
DDG is using Bing though so not surprising.
The CEO of Unity is the former CEO of Electronic Arts. I do believe that he might be executing the same business practices on Unity's developers as EA did on their customers.

The first time I saw their CEO choice I thought that this can't be good for the dev community around Unity.

Here is a question, even though Unity is incorporated in the US, did anyone find the filings with the SEC? Or is it not required for and Inc to publish them?
But systemd is more than just init. It replaces for instance daemontools, restartd or monit.

Since there are counter-anecdotes, I'll throw in my supporting anecdote: I've had endless problems with multi-monitor on Windows 10. Especially if they're different display densities.

Windows that go out of bounds and are un-retrievable, permanently glitched window-content rendering when moving between densities, inaccurate mouse positions, desktops that resize to like 320x200 and then to the actual (shrinking every window and mashing all icons together, and breaking the notification area and status bar area in the process), I don't think I've ever had it work out-of-the-box even once on multiple machines and multiple monitors / projectors / etc. Some of this only occurs the first time it learns a new setup, but much of it just keeps happening randomly.

On macs for like the past 5+ years? Almost perfect behavior, for almost every OS version, except on apps that clearly do their own thing (e.g. IntelliJ sometimes shrinks to nothingness, and Steam is just hot garbage much of the time).

Oddly enough, this has a sizable impact to general aviation. Heading is typically measured using a gyro, but the heading values are calibrated to magnetic north (typically via a magnetometer or manually against a compass).

The creep of the magnetic field is noticeable in particular in the numbering of runways - they are numbered according to their heading. Some runways that have existed for a few decades are, accordingly, off by a few degrees. An older runway numbered "35" may have an actual approach heading of 340 (340 degrees from magnetic north). Not a huge problem when flying by eye, but it has the capability of causing some confusion when flying using instruments. Alternately, the runway numbers can even change.

As for GPS, this won't solve the problem either, since GPS can give you a "true" flight path using the movement over time, which with wind will not always match the actual heading of the aircraft due to wind.
Seems to me like we've gone too far down the "add more schooling" solution to a changing world. This approach tries to anticipate what will be in demand for the 40-50 years after these kids graduate from high school and enter the work force; that is a pipe dream.

A shift to different skills would be more preferable: skills like creativity, adaptability, ability to learn new things. A worker who can adapt easily to a new world will be much better suited to navigate life than one who is educated in a single career path.

These skills are not new, nor is economic and technological change. My grandpa developed these skills early on and used them to great advantage through all the recessions and technological change of the 1970's and 80's. He did quite well for himself, despite not doing anything related to his formal education.
That's fair. Although there are pretty tight internal controls on what Google can do on your Cloud Shell, you have to put a certain level of trust into Google here. Getting your own GCE VM and using SSH-in-the-browser is arguably more secure. Last I checked an f1-micro VM would suffice and fits under the 'always free' GCE cap.
Haha, sorry. You know what I mean, a partial function.

Has the existence of an assassination plot against Washington ever even been definitively proven? I'd always heard it described as one of many unproven rumors swirling around Hickey at the time of his execution. Hickey was officially charged at his court-martial with counterfeiting, mutiny and sedition, which are certainly serious charges, but not with any specific assassination plot. And the author's citation for his claim that Hickey was definitely involved with some kind of assassination plot rests entirely on the same breathless contemporary letter from Dr. William Eustis that you reference (which can be read in its entirety here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/21990/21990-h/21990-h.htm#NO3...).

One letter seems like an awfully slim reed to hang a charge like that off of.

> I'm a designer by trade and I think Lichess is really well done.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. If you asked designers about the state of mobile UIs about 12 years ago I think many would have praised them, then it came the iPhone and they vanished completely.

I've only mentioned very clear examples in my post, would you, as a designer, put 2 completely different menus (with basically the same functionalities), whose buttons are visible at the same time, on an app? Would you want to have the app scrollable if needed or not?

> I've also never been of the belief that mobile and should have exactly the same interface specifically given the different restrictions of the mediums.

Of course, currently lichess.org is doing the opposite by the way.

My complain was about the mobile app being a _completely_ different experience. i.e. there isn't the lobby, the first thing you see after you go to lichess' homepage.
Author of avo here. While I did really enjoy working on this project, I still fully agree with you.

Go (Plan 9) syntax is not sufficiently different to make it a powerful intermediate representation, hence SSA as you point out. In fact many of the differences are frustrating subtle changes in instruction mnemonics or operand order. This might be okay if there was a canonical instruction database that made all these differences from Intel and AT&T easy to discover. However these exceptions are really recorded in various parts of the golang.org/x/arch/x86 repo. Producing the instruction database for avo was quite a time-consuming process. See:

https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo/blob/master/internal/load...
https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo/issues/23

I've gained a lot more familiarity with the assembler and supporting
infrastructure, so I'm hoping I may be able to contribute to this area of the core Go
project.
What are you talking about? You said no runtime errors because you have pure functions and now it turns out that actually implementation also matters?????

I believe that has been advice in lieu of security systems for decades. That metal front gate opens, the giant head of that pit bull/mastiff mix pops up with a "woof", and no one has to know that a piece of cheese would allow you slip right past him.

> So under-represented or disadvantaged communities that don't have the resources to meet the education standards don't get to vote? Education requirements can very easily become a proxy for race/class.

Easily become a proxy for race/class? They already were used to disenfranchise people:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test#Voting

> From the 1890s to the 1960s, many state governments in the United States administered literacy tests to prospective voters purportedly to test their literacy in order to vote. In practice, these tests were intended to disenfranchise racial minorities. Southern state legislatures employed literacy tests as part of the voter registration process starting in the late 19th century. Literacy tests, along with poll taxes, residency and property restrictions and extra-legal activities (violence, intimidation)[2] were all used to deny suffrage to African Americans.
What a sad country the U.S. has become. I wonder if this state of anxiety is also the norm in European countries?

It seems to be a lot more sane in countries like Germany, Finland, etc where university doesn't require $60-150k+ in student loan debt, healthcare is free, you actually have job stability and can't get fired without good reason, you can work any job and support yourself, housing isn't obscenely expensive, 1.5-2 months vacation. Not to paint these countries as a paradise because of course they have their problems too, but I wonder what Europeans think when they read articles like this?

There's a kernel of truth there, but there's also a difference between "reasonable" anxiety (concern over you and your family's health and well-being), and the sort of manufactured anxiety that the article mentions (constantly being barraged with information about your performance/grades, for example).
> It's not enough to just point out a possible fallacy. What's your contention as to why the statement "Venezuela was never actually a progressive country" is inaccurate?

My contention is that the original argument is absurd and is just a blatant attempt to whitewash yet another humanitarian disaster caused by a socialist dictatorship.

Any argument on how Chavez/Maduro's dictatorship is not a true scotsman/socialist regime is entirely irrelevant as the dictator of Venezuela, who is also the president of Venezuela's Socialist Party, is very open to any of the many socialist reforms and revolutions that he himself announces repeatedly in his struggle to advance socialism in Venezuela.

And faced with all those indisputable facts, you're trying to argue whether he is a true scotsman.
Fixing broken satellites in space could save companies big money
They way this usually works is: a problem surfaces, a team is created that creates countermeasures, they measure the results, they solve it, then the metrics become part of a dashboard. They run against a wall improving the metrics, they move on, team funding is cut in half (or moved to another location, like india/china, with a junior team). Meanwhile adversaries find new ways to counter the measure. The article mentions several components of the stack, developed in different locations. I presume right now they have put up a tiger team to fix it. The cycle begins again...

This is definitely my instinct too, but I worry that there may not be a next gen version if we don't buy the first. Would hate to see it abandoned because initial sales were so dismal and they took such a loss.
Sorry, data too. I figured that's a given. So, more specifically, Linux with a touchscreen, wi-fi and cell data/call/text. Anything else is unnecessary to get me to buy one. And it doesn't have to replace my existing phone right away.

There's a trend of people opting for feature phones instead of iPhone/Android. That is what I'm going for next if something like Librem doesn't make it out soon. Now is the time to just get something out, while people are weary of the whole corporate-controlled smartphone thing, because, if that trend fades, no one outside of the Linux community is buying a Linux phone, no matter what it comes with. Just get it out, no gimmicks, not even a camera (one less thing to secure), sell it at a premium price and let the community figure out where to go from there.
yes, paternalistic discipline and punish structures are also problematic.
It's a public ledger but it's anonymous in that you don't have a name attached to any of your addresses. You can obtain Bitcoin offline with something like LocalBitcoins and they'll have no identity attached to them. You can then spend them through Tor for full anonymity.

They're not perfect but they're an improvement on say credit cards, which used to be the only option.

And if you want, some providers offer more privacy-sensitive cryptocurrencies like ZCash or Monero.
