I think this is a great point.

Design has two layers.

The first one is based on science. Ergonomics (i.e. edge of the screen is fast to reach with a mouse, color contrast, size of fonts, ...).
The second layer is style. In the given constraint of color contrast, you use _these_ colors, ...

The minimalist style often acts like it is on the first layer, but it is just style on top of ergonomics. It is a good design system. Because it is minimal, it is easier to not make first-layer-mistakes. It is timeless because the second layer is so thin as to not show the trends of the century.

A lot of people think this is good - but I don't think it universally is. As long as you get the first layer right, being more wild on the second layer adds character. Being timeless can also be interpreted as being boring.
Open Contracting Data Standard: Documentation
This is a nasty one! Sloppy in hindsight.

There is one bright side to otherwise disgraceful incidents: All the customers running older versions are now forced to upgrade to the latest versions. The burden of supporting really old versions suddenly vanishes.

Box vendors should really stop selling unmanaged boxes/solutions. In reality, customers end up buying service contracts anyway along with boxes. Instead, sell usage/service/connectivity and manage the hardware. A critical patch like this one could then be applied before a PSIRT is released. Frequent upgrades(security patches or feature/bug fix patches) are now commonplace. The user experience would be so much better if the solution were managed by the vendor (cloud managed).

How to Find Linux Server Geographic Location in Terminal
I've worked at a company where the build server was full of viruses, because devs kept spinning up unpatched XP VMs, who would inevitably get Conficker, and whatever other shit was hanging around on our intranet.

Nobody gave a shit about it. And this wasn't some crazy seat-of-the pants startup. It was a mature software company, employing >40 engineers (in that division alone), that had been building, and selling software for many, many years.

It's not just that they're doing household work, but also that they're doing it in a manner you direct. An Uber driver isn't getting me from point A to B in a manner Uber directs, or at least not always - otherwise I wouldn't see nearly as many drivers using Google Maps/Waze instead of Uber's navigation.
Understandable. But you have to consider that the Stellar foundation has been supporting keybase.io financially.

Also, your association of cryptocurrencies with scams is understandable given the sorry state of e.g. the Ethereum and EOS ecosystems which are dominated by get rich quick schemes, pyramid schemes, gambling apps, and other stuff. Not exactly enthusiastic about that myself.

However, among its peers, Stellar is relatively respectable in the sense that it has some serious corporate partners (i.e. normal legal entities in normal jurisdictions) and quite a few stable coins issued by fintech companies for the purpose of supporting international payments. And with support/involvement of regulators in many countries.

Additionally there seem to be some serious use cases emerging. The most significant of those would be IBM building a SEPA competitor on top of stellar with dozens of international banks. But there are other applications as well.

Keybase associating with Stellar is not necessarily a bad deal for them as they get money without giving away shares (presumably). And given the nature of their technology, crypto wallets are a natural use case for them as the whole point of their platform is making key management usable for end users and crypto wallets are literally nothing else than key pairs.
Do you rely on just one 3rd party like gitlab/bitbucket/github to keep your _only_ copy of your non-current projects?

That seems unwise. I don't have many local repos on this 128GB MacBookAir, but as well as BitBucket all the projects I have ever worked on are on other several machines and/or hard drives I have locally, and also zipped up in S3 buckets and on tarsnap.

Like they say, there's two kinds of people. People who've lost important data because they didn't back it up properly, and people who haven't yet.

as a dev ->This is pretty great - no more having to support users who refuse to update apps/are using some hacked version of your app in order to access older APIs you're supporting for older versions of apps. I envision this settling into a LTS version and rapidly updating(or even beta) versioning system - which large app devs like whatsapp already do.

as a user ->i already switch to an app's beta ASAP, this makes doing that unnecessary(if the dev is smart about it and doesn't just force updates for monetisation)

People complaining are forgetting that apps aren't applications - they're small and easily forgotten/uninstalled unless they come up with something new and exciting - which right now is locked behind a clunky visit to the clunky play store. Apps controlling updates isn't me having less control - i always have the power to uninstall an app if it gets irritating about updates. The new feedback/rating system means that apps that mess this up will plummet rapider than before in the play store too!This feedback loop gives me more insight as a user into a devs practices vs before just hoping a popular app was decent about updates.

Google files explorer even encourages you to uninstall apps you don't use for a long time to save space - which (anecdotally) finally led me to nuking all adobe products from my phone and life and switching to arguably better paid app alternatives for mobile.
Counterpoint to battery life argument against HiDPI displays are obviously retina MacBooks since 2012 (7 years ago). In addition I have a ZenBook with 3200x1800 and Core-M and its battery life is great. By outdated 1080p displays I also meant color accuracy, no HDR, bad viewing angles, slow latency etc. Seems like most AMD laptops are a dumping ground for old tech that can't be marketed as premium any longer. I'd rather suggest AMD to start manufacturing/contract somebody to develop high end models with their own brand to showcase what they can do.

I have a particular fascination for "boring" professor websites:

https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/38619/why-are-p...

Particularly the following comment:

"In some scientific fields/cultures, a stylish website could be viewed as unnecessary or even pompous. In this view, the textual content of a website is the only thing that matters, and if you "need" to make your website stylish perhaps it lacks real substance. This is the same line of thought that supports simplicity in presentation with minimal graphics. I have encountered this especially in math and theoretical CS."

There's a lot of evidence suggesting that it's a feature rather than a bug.

There's lots of bad things that happens as you get older and upregulation of inflammation plays an important part in that.

The thing is it's not random though. It happens in a synchronized fashion.

It does seem increasingly likely that our genetic code contains instructions to make us increasingly frail and sick as we get older,to slowly increase the probability of death.

We see this more clearly other places in nature. Closely related species that have ended up in different environments over time can have dramatically lifespans.

I have seen various hypotheses for this, including models that suggest that there's a tendency for older individuals to keep too much of the resources so that the younger generations won't have enough resources to grow and flourish.

That's nonsensical. An engineering project does not require a provenance chain of engineers all the way down with a really low level engineer certifying that every single grain that went into the concrete was hand sorted by herself. At some point you certify something by taking measurements and tolerances and deliver a safe operating range. There's no reason why an operating system or programming language couldn't live below that level.

>You're not forced to make an assumption, you can just be honest and say you don't know.

Indeed. That's what I was trying to say.
> Get sick, go to hospital, insurer covers. There is a shortlist of things the insurer won't cover. You pay the insurer each month.
> Insurance isn't complicated.

But for things they do cover, what price do they pay? That seems to be the crux here.

Something like travel insurance is simpler, because when they buy you a hotel room / a new suitcase, most of the other buyers are not insurance, and so there's a market price they can refer to. But healthcare isn't like that, and it seems the the prices of many procedures vary wildly, like 100x between different hospitals. Nobody can afford a 100x increase in premiums.

From what I understand about better-functioning health insurance systems, there's usually also a pricelist written up by the government. That seems like the crucial foundation for a useful health insurance market. Much as I wish there was a nice market mechanism for this, I have yet to see one.
I always preferred regular NetQuake to QuakeWorld and I played a lot of both for many years. The weird jello-jiggly behavior of client-side prediction with 400-600ms difference between players was always horrible.

With NetQuake you could learn to predict everything in your head over time, which is the primary skill competitive players use. No one has a super fast reaction time (even competitive gamers are ~200ms), the best players simply know what's going to happen next better than other players.

I did play thousands of hours of QuakeWorld (Team Fortress mostly) but it was never as fun or competitive feeling as NetQuake.

And once I got an ISDN connection it was even worse to use QuakeWorld because with a perfectly reliable (low jitter) ~50ms ping on NetQuake everything was incredibly smooth. Watching players with 150ms+ ping ("HPBs") warp around the map while you tried to shoot them was no fun.

Today far too many games rely on bad client side prediction. The last game I played seriously was PUBG and they put all of their servers in Ohio. Being on the west coast with 80ms+ ping it was just a terrible experience all the time, but they apparently (and stupidly) assumed it would work well enough due to client side prediction. PUBG could have been so much more fun with ~20ms California servers and a < 60ms ping restriction, which is how most Quake Live servers operated when I used to play that game.

The way to make online competitive games as good as possible is to embrace low latency connections now that most people have them and focus on placing servers in as many cities as possible. The speed of light can't be overcome no matter what we do, so the solution is for people to play with other people that are within ~500 miles.

I hold out hope that eventually netcode authors will realize this fact and finally re-create the incredible long-lost solidity of NetQuake. All they really have to do is stop being so damn clever!

The sooner you start, the better. I've moved most of my email/contacts/calendar away [0], and the longer you give yourself to catch the things you've signed up for but forgotten, the better. Youtube was also a pain, but I transitioned my subscriptions manually to a different account. Maps seems like it'd be the trickiest if you're invested. I wasn't a heavy user, and maps still works pretty good when you're logged out.

The government can literally force healthcare providers to accept prices if it's the only payer. It can even write laws forcing them to accept those prices. It would take some time to adjust, but eventually you would ask win. Right now you both have the most expensive in total, expensive in median and the most unfair.

Perhaps you could be more specific as to how you consider the experience "broken".

Having bought both new and used cars over the years, I wouldn't buy a car without checking it over and taking it for a test drive. Due to that physical aspect, I'm not sure what you wish to "fix".

Assuming that you dislike car dealers and pushy salespeople, you can buy used cars privately through any one of several websites and use brokers who have access to considerable discounts if you want to buy new.

I tried to use type hints but I do not see enough value in them to justify making code more complex. It looks to me that they are similar to hungarian notation as they make refactoring harder but they are not reliable and does provide little value in checking program correctness. They are just documentation embedded into variable declaration used only for linting so I tend to not trust them.

If the cost of labour is what makes local recycling impossible, wouldn't automation with AI and robots (or maybe something like plastic-eating bacteria?) be the only possible solution?

Of course bypassing the problem by reducing plastic waste is always preferred and so much more elegant a solution, but provided that would need to be done across all the globe, including so many different cultures and governments, and with such poor inherent economic incentives (plastic is still too cheap), I'm not really confident that'd be possible within a reasonable time-frame, or at all.

I feel like a breakthrough in recycling technology by a small team and some investors would be much easier to achieve than global alignment in law making and enforcement. Is there anyone achieving significant progress in that area?
RDP is not on by default, so I don't see how that's a big deal.
I think this falls under the realm of "gain[ing] semantic value by using a tool like MyPy". The implementation of static typing by way of processing type annotations is an implementation choice, and not a part of the Python language specification.

People definitely are willing to work below minimum wage; that's exactly why we need minimum wage!
You can't really do prediction if you are not rendering the game locally, so all you can do is have a lot of servers all over the world and rely on most customers having a low latency fiber link.

PowerPrice: An Intelligent Price and Inventory Management System
I cancelled sky a few years ago. They charge £30 a month and then put adverts on. Adverts are 1% of their revenue, so £3 a month.

If I watch 2 hours a day that’s 20 hours of ads a month, or 15p/hour.

I’m currently subscribed to nowtv to watch GoT. There’s an unskippavle advert at the start for other shows. That’s just about acceptable for the 6 times i’ll use it before cancellation.

DVDs used to be as bad, and I almost entirely stopped buying them because of it. they don’t seem to come with adverts now though.

Having gone to see the cherry blossoms in Japan this year, I was wondering why we don't celebrate the jacarandas even half as much.

Grafton and a heap of other small towns all have jacaranda festivals and we're obviously really bad at promoting them.

The Brisbane Council classifying jacarandas as invasive weeds probably doesn't help either.

I may be mistaken, but as far as I'm aware Google docs synced to your local machine are nothing more than links to documents in the Google Drive cloud. None of the data inside those docs is actually stored locally. I found this out the hard way when I decided to move away from GD and lost a lot of files.

So buyer beware I guess.
There are reasons there is no budget. A budget doesn't magically appear. Take health care, education, or police services for example. Do you really want to take away resources from providing the stuff that's actually needed just for some artificial easily preventable crisis?

The entire situation is ridiculous really. So what that XP is "ancient"? For many purposes it works just fine. The only reason this situation exists is because people can't fix their own computers. The entire thing is a massive waste of resources.

- Use Yandex Maps instead of Google Maps. It's very accurate and navigation is smooth. Way better than Gmaps imo.

- Use Office 365 instead of Google Docs.

What do you mean by discouragement against emulating shadows? As I read it the shadows stay the same as on the light theme. Are you referring to what they call "glows"?

> In a dark theme, components retain the same default elevation levels and shadows as components in lighter themes

It looks pretty good in the examples they give IMO. Considering that the default makes such heavy use of elevation it makes sense to keep that concept in the UI.

> Default themes use shadows to express elevation, while a dark theme also expresses elevation by adjusting the surface

Tim Cook lies about there were no settlement talk between Qualcomm and Apple. Although one could argue he spoke of it in January and the Settlement were in April, so may be they did all that negotiation in three months. Although I highly doubt it, I am siding with Steve Mollenkopf on this one, out of all the evidence given in court I think Qualcomm were extremely professional.

There were bunch of other things where I caught Tim Cook lying. Steve Jobs uses to be very deceptive when he needs to, his wording weren't clear cut and leads you to wrong assumption. Tim Cook doesn't have that talent.

And once you have been caught lying, you lose trust.

While I do have doubt on Bloomberg story, I am not going to trust sold on Tim Cook's word.
I think they say this specifically, grey is better to distinguish shadows but if you want to conserve energy you can go with true black.

I agree. People who complain about the GIL generally seem like they'd be better served by other languages. It strikes me as a kind of complaint that it's not fair they have to accept the GIL in exchange for Python's other features. You can't always get what you want I guess.
Sibling comments to this one have already written down most of what I would say myself. In short, I think having a way to transfer money anonymously and without control from the government an especially important capability.

The Flexbox Inspector
There's growing research to say that eating any meat (specifically red meat) increases inflammation. Among other things, it elevates levels of C-Reactive protein, which the liver makes when there is inflammation in the body.[1]

Another studied suggests that meat intake increases levels of arachidonic acid, which is another mediator in inflammation and aging.[2]

Those are just a couple of studies. There are plenty more where they came from. I highly suggest reading 'How Not to Die' by Dr. Michael Greger, to all those that are interested in way of reducing inflammation in the body. The book is incredibly well referenced, and a joy to read. [3]
