You are giving a great example of why r/atheism was removed as a default subreddit.

Lots of people were fatigued by daily threads like this microcosm. It’s obviously important to folks in the sub, but it was many instances of people just not caring. There must be some form of directed apathy where a description is not that I care about something, but I definitely do not care enough to be aware of it. It’s not apathy as I dislike encountering it, but I am fine with its existence.
Thank you. I found them all on YouTube.
Change for the sake of improvement (whether successful or not) is good. Change for the sake of change is just a waste of time and energy. I see far too much of the latter in the web world.
One book that had a large influence on me was "How to Argue & Win Every Time: At Home, At Work, In Court, Everywhere, Everyday" by Gerry Spence. The portion of the book which spoke to me the most about arguing in relationships.

The author poses the idea of intentionally losing when arguing with a loved one since the victory will usually be a hollow one.
It might seem like simple advice, but I found it extremely influential in my life.

There are many times when being right is actually the worst thing to be and made me consider if winning an argument was worth (potentially) damaging a long term relationship. When it was, this book gave some good advice about quickly repairing the damage and minimizing the consequences.
It seems like it would be trivial for your compiler to go ahead and split the files up again afterwards. Its not like you cared about file organization on the client side anyways if you were packing them, so its free to split however it feels.

And ofc you’d naturally just attribute this as an artifact of optimization, just as single-file packing was. Which it is, given http 2/3

It's not about the length of the resulting list -- just the opposite. It's that you can take a list of a million and prune it to a thousand and suddenly everything bad happens with 1000 times the expected probability because you excluded the 999 things that didn't for every one that did.

If you take the list of a million and prune it to ten it's even worse. You can find ten 1:100,000 probability events that occur randomly in a list of a million. It's this:

Except a million tests instead of twenty.

I don’t think so - the owner of this issue is the tech lead of Progressive Web Apps at Google according to his LinkedIn. He probably envisions a future where GMail can run as a web app on a mobile phone with zero lag. Combined with previous additions to web APIs such as notifications, GMail the web app can be at parity with GMail the native app.

I've read it first in Russian (I'm a native speaker) and then in English (Ginsburg translation) when I was learning the language. I don't think it lost too much in translation, but it might because I'm very familiar with the original text. You don't need to know anything about Russia or Soviet Union to enjoy it.

Another book similar in spirit and quality to M&M is "Danilov, the violist" by Vladimir Orlov.
I don't think this would give me sufficient data to compare candidates in an unbiased way.

Without establishing objective criteria with which to evaluate candidates, it's much easier to fall back on decision making processes that are prone to unconscious bias.

- Start [2]. Sort of your run of the mill self help book. Thought it had some nice insights in it.

- Glass House [3]. Talks about the deterioration of industrial towns and the society that used to be built around them.

- Thinking in Bets [4]. Approaching situations from the perspective of a gambler and how to choose what to do when you don't know all the facts.

Thanks for your response. I do think the archeological part of my brain was very confused/damaged; I think it was SCCS that kept the original document and applied patches as opposed to RCS which applied the "innovation" of maintaining the latests with deltas to go backwards. Luckily I haven't used any of those old systems in decades. IIRC BitKeeper followed the SCCS model.

In any case good luck with Pijul; I do feel git has become a bit of a monoculture.

In your discussion of model you mention binary blocks but don't otherwise mention binary files. Two major "shortcomings" of git (in quotes because they are explicit design decisions) are the lack of binary file support and the lack of very large file support. It's possible, but ugly. This means game developers (in particular) are typically unable to use git and are primarily stuck on Perforce, which is sort of like perpetually scratching yourself with a fork made of salt. The patch model might be a win here, especially if you could plug in format-specific "differs"

The key is balance between chaos and order. Too much change all the time and things are too chaotic for anything good to stick. Too little and nothing ever changes (orderly but pointless). Just right and things continually improve.

Reading this is making me want to go meatless, so thank you for not softening any details.

I don't think I could handle directly killing an animal and preparing the meat unless I was in survival mode. Going to the local grocery store and picking up some neatly wrapped cuts of meat truly removes me from the suffering aspect of animals, let alone the atrocities taking place behind closed doors in mass production slaughterhouses.

How does everyone deal with the cognitive dissonance of how your meat is prepared?
To their credit, they got rid of the "incel" stuff pretty quickly after it became basically-synonymous with "dangerously violent male-supremacist cult" (it used to just be "losers who can't relate with the opposite sex, and seem to be weirdly proud of this fact"). A similar story holds for the racist content.
I don't see it as any more or less sociopathic than saying "you need to pay for these people's medicine or else I'll sic the authorities on you".

If I saw illegals as non-human, I'd advocate for the local DNR to hand out hunting permits for illegals.

Don't you see my humanity? I bust my ass to earn my keep, I don't demand access to things others have, if that attitude were reciprocated and people took care of themselves, their livelihood wouldn't depend on my opinion of them.

As long as you coerce others to provide for those who are unwilling to do so for themselves, you're going to have this tension.

My borders my choice. If I can't advocate for my hard work and sacrifices to be invested as I see fit, what autonomy do I have? Do you tell women they have to spread their legs for the less fortunate or else they're sociopaths?

Right. I am saying that if you take time off you end up being at odds with much of society. You realize that many things, even leisure activities, now only exists in relation to work. And after not working for a while few of these things are exciting anymore.

So I am not saying it isn't a good idea. Just that it is hard from a practical perspective. Which is why younger people who take sabbaticals often end up in e.g. Asia.

I don't see that kind of sentiment in people I know who like tiny houses. If anything it's the opposite: they work a lot harder to save up to buy a tiny house (it's like 200k) vs continuing to rent. It's also harder to go against the grain than it is to flow with what society tells you to do.

Nice! Any intuition on whether this is practical for humans to implement in a game?

(Side note: in practice, it's almost impossible to avoid the illegal side-channel communication of watching the other players get nervous as you start to do something stupid, so really the only rules-faithful way is to play over a computer.)

(Another side note: there's a game called The Mind[1] which is the board-game version of SleepSport -- the goal is to, without most kinds of communication, play cards from each players hand in increasing order. One way to win is to synchronize everyone's internal clock and play each card when that many seconds have passed.)

Adjusted to inflation, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was over $9000. XR is $749(not 800 by the way). $8251 difference, not too bad considering the technology is superior in every way to the DynaTAC 8000X.

As someone who used to like getting the latest and greatest by Apple their current prices baffle me. Or perhaps I'm the oddball that doesn't use my phone enough to warrant spending that much money.
> Both of your viewpoints are right - it depends on one's actual surrounding community. It's much easier to choose your online community, which creates the impression of the whole space lining up with your beliefs.

No, I'm not letting you get away with "equivalency". That kind of mental gymnastics is what allows these kinds of "talking points" to exist.

Christian churches are not taxed. Atheist non-profits are. Christian religions get "marriage" enshrined in law and get to define what "marriage" is. Atheists get their partners decisions questioned in the hospital. I can go on and on about the privileges that religion enjoys in the US.

Taking away undeserved privileges is not persecution. If you want to see persecution, go to the middle east--THAT'S what Christian persecution looks like.

The US qualifies are one of the most religious of the countries that don't qualify as theocracies. Claiming that Christians are being persecuted in the US is hogwash.

If you want to talk to me about persecution, come back after every church in the US is actually paying taxes--I won't hold my breath.

You are not crazy. There have been Kvetchers for hire since long before the internet was a thing. They are useful when a business is being stubborn and you can't afford a lawyer, or don't have solid legal grounds.
I think the killer app would be to keep the community somewhat exclusive but also have a great breadth of niche, expert content. There was a time when Reddit hit this sweet spot (although there were also very large subs that attracted the worst users).

One of the main issues with reddit is that a lot of niche interest subreddits are 90-99% non-practitioners or extreme amateurs, even when weighted in terms of contribution. For example there is no subreddit where you can actually learn very insightful things about programming or computer science or machine learning, same for biology/physics/astronomy/etc.

I would be ok with a not-reddit competitor that actually succeeded in being a better reddit. But the #1 thing they should avoid at all costs is taking VC money. You can't have a great community of experts that is also trying to maximize it's viewership, that's how you get Quora or Reddit

Is the fact that they're hackers or lied relevant to her death? Boyfriends kill their girlfriends with unfortunate regularity, no hacking or lying involved.

I was expecting a story where two guys tricked a woman into making her own diet pills from castor beans or something. Which I imagine was the point of the title. I may not have clicked on "A boyfriend and his buddy killed his girlfriend."
A similar thing that surprises me is how malicious ad networks are still able to effectively get your Chrome tabs into states where you can't easily close them without killing the entire chrome task.

While I'm sure there is a lot of complexity there that I'm not considering to avoid messing with legitimate usages of tab closing event handling by real apps, it would be nice if there were some kind of like alternate tab close input (eg. hold ALT or SHIFT, or both while clicking the tab 'X') where the user is signalling the intent that "yes, I absolutely want to close this tab, no matter what, kill it with extreme prejudice".

If such a thing exists, which it might, someone please correct me by telling me what it is.

For a feeling of what the early Soviet Union was like, I highly recommend We the Living by Ayn Rand. If you don't like her politics, I still recommend it to understand exactly what it was that she is reacting against.

That book is not exactly autobiographical. But she does draw very heavily on her own personal experiences to draw that time and place as accurately as she could. For example the purge that ended Kira's university education was not made up, and indeed would have ended Ayn Rand's career if she had been one year younger.
Yea except I'm neither of these people but good job on the strawman arguments.

Slack is nicer than IRC to use. Nobody here is debating that. Slack solves a heap of problems with IRC.

My only point of contention is that there is zero argument for it using the resources it does. None of the mentioned solutions require any more resources than IRC consumes.

Totally, I agree! Even though George Orwell is more known for 1984 but his work truly shines with the Animal Farm. It is a children's book fwiw but every aspect of it is meant for the grown-ups. Outstanding!

In terms of why I'm doing this, there was an Amazon boycott a while back and someone pointed out that one of Amazon's biggest source of revenue is AWS. So I wanted to see if it's possible to avoid AWS while browsing the web. I'm not saying its practical but I thought it was interesting.

Congratulations on releasing! I think it’s the right approach to use the platform rather than extending it a la JSX. I have a few questions:

1) What is the situation with the patent grant? I know React had something similar at an earlier point, which was heavily criticized and eventually removed.

2) Is there a way to precompile templates, sort of like what a lot of CSS-in-JS libraries do?

3) I was browsing through the source a couple of weeks ago, and it came across as a rather convoluted everything-must-be-a-class design, which I found surprising considering the simple functional style the library encourages externally. Do you think this is motivated over a more straightforward, procedural design?

My experience is that there's rarely a time that is appropriate for it to come up in polite conversation. People talk about it all the time within their social communities as the social communities are more likely to be in line with their beliefs, but not really in "public" IE work, etc. The guy running around talking about "god is dead" at work is just as much of a jerk and treated as such as someone who loudly proclaims their christian beliefs as the basis for everything they do.
