> In a year, every other advertisement on TV would be for health insurance, like it is with car insurance now.

It's strange to see someone say this like it's a good thing. Almost no one wants to "shop for the health insurance they need". They want to show up when they need care and receive it, and not have to think about it.
I’m not so sure that looking on the bright side of slavery proves any points here. Any “civilizing” that was done would have been for the purpose of making them better slaves.

Over the last 48 years I’ve lived in crime- and poverty-ridden neighborhoods in Detroit, various places in the South with widely varying degrees of Deepness, and various parts of California. It’s very hard for me to say how things have changed across all of those years and places, but I absolutely think that in the aggregate, successive generations have become less racist, and that in turn can sometimes have a civilizing effect on older generations. And of course, as people get older, some of them grow up instead of just doubling down on old fears and hatreds.

One thing that has changed in recent years are people who were super racist all along feeling like they can start saying the quiet parts out loud again. As one example, I don’t see White Nationalist types as being a new phenomena at all, but rather people who’ve been emboldened by politicians who tell them what they want to hear.

In that sense I agree with you that things have gotten worse, but I don’t see that as more people being more racist. Rather it’s (ironically) a minority of Americans feeling like they can come out of the woodwork and be as openly shitty to other people as they always wished they could be.

Hopefully in the long term this will result in this now-exposed slimy underbelly of America shriveling in the light of day when they realize they’re much more on the fringe than they thought. Hopefully. And hopefully that happens quickly enough not to do lasting damage to race relations. If not, America may be beyond recovery, as it would sadly deserve to be. No amount of history or accumulated political philosophy or national ideals or traditions can help a nation survive a population that collectively decides it would rather have a Putin or a Bolsonaro than a Washington or a Lincoln. Time will tell.
Even then... I have the full-time remote job. The prospect isn't getting the remote job, it's hanging onto it _for the rest of my career_. I still live in SoCal, despite desperately wanting to leave it behind, almost entirely because I feel compelled to live near a strong tech / job market for the job security that it provides myself and my family.

Interesting. My understanding is that -ize comes from the older Greek, while -ise is the French version. Which makes for a fun discussion when Brits claim it as their own.

Wiktionary says "lox" comes via Yiddish: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lox#Etymology_1

However the closely related "lax", used in some English dialects and in Scotland, also means salmon and comes, via Old English, from the same root: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lax#Etymology_1

So maybe ask your Scottish friends?
The A320 is a far newer baseline to be building on, though. Wasn't the 737-MAX more a reaction to the A320-NEO about to eat their lunch?
The move to Unicode is not "incremental" by, like, any measure. And other things, like moving `print` to be a function instead of a statement, were absolutely good design choices and worth breaking for.

People have had plenty of time to work on porting their code from 2.x to 3.x. Honestly, I think it's remarkable the devs kept maintaining 2.x as long as they did. I mean, look at Swift, where they had breaking changes year after year, and yet their user base has fairly exploded since the language's release not so long ago.

Just... get on with it, you know? Move to Python 3.x and be done with it. There's no particularly good reason to stick to 2.x forever.

Anything for FireTV? I tried DNS blocking, but that did not affect YouTube there (it runs on FF, which does not support add-ons on Fire OS).
For sure. It's also very good for onboarding (and better utilising cheaper/less knoweledgeable devs by constraining them, but people don't like to admit that).

The flip side is that abstractions (usually in the form of external dependencies) can only add complexity to the software, which has a detrimental effect on development effort. These "pointless" (but not really) dependencies we're talking about are the same as useful ones, but instead of weighing the cost against a more direct benefit (whatever the library gives), you're weighing it against these more indirect benefits, which is much harder.

In my experience most people just give up and go with whatever sounds good, which is usually "use whatever people are familiar with". That subset of tools grows and grows over time, and if you just always go with the defaults, eventually you're going to end up stuck in the mud, because nobody is weighing the cost of your abstractions.
Or you were in university/connected to a university.

The Swedish qwctf scene at least was very clearly divided in 20ms people who went to or worked at, a university, and 150ms people who played from home.

There were some 50-60ms ISDN people too but I can only remember a few.
What would you call that "way to have actual relationships, etc."? It's a social network. Just one of a different kind.

I think Facebook understands that very well, or at least Zuckerberg does, and that's why they're taking that turn towards community, reflected in their new mission statement and new initiatives.

People don't give Facebook enough credit sometimes, and I'm saying that as someone who almost never uses their services. They know what an ideal social network would be. Now it remains to be seen if they can pivot the current behemoth into that ideal in a viable, profitable way. Short of that, they'll probably get "disrupted" sooner than later.
Superdeterminism implies that people’s actions are fully determined for their entire lives, but we would likely not be able to predict them in any meaningful way even if we had access to all the necessary information, because the computation would be too large to handle. (The “you need a computer more powerful than the universe to compute the universe faster than the universe computes itself” argument.)

In the PDF book linked elsewhere in these comments, t’ Hooft makes the argument that what we mean colloquially by “free will” is more of an emotional definition, and he proposes a rigorous scientific definition that may be more productive.

(Of course, given certain neural data from a person, we can predict certain actions on the order of 100’s of ms in advance of the person’s conscious awareness of choice, so...)
Here in Israel, where I spend about half my time split between Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley, it's called not by the Hebrew term for "smoked salmon" but by the Yiddish word "לאָקס" (spelled as לוקס in Hebrew)

I was born in Brooklyn, to a Yiddish speaking family. Occasionally I use a Yiddish word in Israel and I'm met by a blank stare. 60% of the Jewish population here came from countries like Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, etc, where nobody knew Yiddish.
What tickles me is that Google's designs (and re-designs) are so wildly inconsistent between products that any benefit of a unified design system is negated. Maybe it's too optimistic to expect universal consistency for a company or Google's size anyway.

Opinion: I also find that, while each Material component seems intuitive in isolation, systems layering many if them together usually end up very difficult to use.
I love it when people make authoritative statements about design. Because everyone has an opinion about design, it must mean everyone is expert.

Dieter Rams designs were absolutely based on trends, and trends which very much fell or of favour for twenty or thirty years. The fact that they are on trend again does not invalidate that. Nor does the fact that his designs in particular are remembered and copied because he was one of the best of the era.

He was one of the best because he used an approach which was exploratory, multi-disciplined and human focused. (Tellingly, he was educated in interior design and architecture.) To suggest that graphic design is solved, is like saying a radio is solved. Technological changes coincide with changes in human understanding, taste, response and feedback.

And then to use Dieter Rams as an example, because presumably you like his aesthetic, is to not understand design at all. Or certainly not his practice of it.

On the other hand, i totally think someone could start a Rams framework (if it hasn't already been done). An unholy mixture of skeumorphic dials and material backgrounds. It could be a beautiful abomination.
I fondly remember the old Quake 1 days. It was pretty much the last game I played seriously. Reading Carmack .plans were a regular routine and while many of the details went over my head, it made us feel part of the whole id experience.

Finally networked Quake was an amazing experience when it came out. I had started my first job in an ASIC design company. All the computers were Solaris based Sun workstations, yet we were able to get network quake up and running on them! I just can't imagine such a thing happening today but maybe that's more to do with me being 20 years older than anything else. For sure no one is porting game engines to Solaris these days ;)
Maybe the article is playing things up a little, by suggesting there is an unbroken line of descent from English "lox" all the way back to Khurgan "lox". Clearly English lost and then regained the word.
There are plenty of examples of alternatives to gmail that are more privacy friendly. You can have your email hosted pretty much anywhere, and still be able to email anyone else.

What do you mean by "at least as secure"?

They are different algorithms, so I don't see how their security can be provably related.

wow you managed to work in a vaguely racist patronizing attack in your pro church post bemoaning the lack of upstanding morality in america.

It's no wonder one of the richest organizations in the world is able to fund plenty of third places for its members.

As it stands you can derive community along any number of axes while even celebrating diversity.

The issue isn't there are no potentialities for community but rather that there are few spaces available and little time for most people who struggle to make ends meet.
The place you drink at also matters. Some restaurants, even small places, keep packaged water cans and serve water from there these days.
Saying "BLAKE2 is at least as secure as SHA-256" is saying that:

1. The best known attacks against SHA-256 have a cost of 2^i for some value of i.

2. The best known attacks against BLAKE2 have a cost of 2^j for some value of j.

3. j >= i
C++ is a huge and complex language compared to C.
[Compared size of the standard reference document for each.]

C++ is complex to parse.
Clang and Gcc use back-tracking to parse C++ and there can be long compilation times.

Tiobe language rankings for May 2019:

Rust is ranked 34th at 0.335%
below Lisp and Prolog

Go is ranked 19th at 1.114%.

In complexity and size, Go language is closer to C programming language than either Rust or C++.
[Rust and C++ are much larger languages than Go.]

Lastly, Rust does not appear to have a standard BNF grammar specification and I counted around 33 FIXME unspecified sections in the reference document for Rust. I haven't even discussed the number of unstable
features in Rust.

AI vs. ML: Some Definitions
That's false. California, for example, has regulations on auto insurance rating factors and discounts (banning, for example, discrimination on sexual orientation or discounts not offered to the general public), among other regulations.
Maybe it depends on the city and your age/marital status. I found living in the city (DC) extremely lonely after having kids. Mostly 20-something professionals gunning their careers. Moved out to the suburbs and now actually have neighbors to talk to, ones with kids that’ll come over and have a beer while the kids run around. All the driving isn’t ideal, but I kind of like tooling around the mall.

I agree some of the problems are uniquely American. Having to spend a million dollars on a house to afford to live in a decent urban school district in places like NYC or SF or DC fucks up really messes up important social networks. Even if you can afford it, you’re surrounded entirely and solely by other people who can afford it.
Rust popular?

Tiobe language rankings for May 2019:

Rust is ranked 34th at 0.335%, below Lisp and Prolog.
Go is ranked 19th at 1.114%.
C is ranked 2nd at 14.233%

Rust does not have a stable, standard BNF grammar specification. The language reference document for Rust has 33 or 34 unspecified missing language definitions [see "FIXME" sections].
Unicode alone is worth moving.

I'm not particularly excited about a lot of other new features though.

I don't see a real reason for type annotations from my perspective (if I wanted typed I'd use a typed language, if I wanted types indicated I'd indicate in the doc strings).

Also f-strings which I haven't used it. They probably are better, but I'm barely getting used to `format` as opposed to `%s` (which admittedly `%s` does suck as I've said many time while counting items on the screen with a pencil).
Eduonix Early Summer Sale 2019 BOGO Offer on ELearning Courses
The issue that Fossil addresses from my perspective is the integration of bug/issue tracking and the VCS. The trouble with using Git{hub,lab} or other issue tracking is that the issue control isn't distributed in the same way as the source control is.

I want to be able to do a code review, deal with an issue, make changes to source, test etc offline/on a branch and then push all of the changes/impacts (source, issue, comments etc) for distribution to other developers.

This article struck a chord with me. I am a middle aged immigrant in the tech industry battling loneliness since I was about 15. Outwardly I probably seem to be doing ok.

While I see a lot about the challenges to public health and society by the loneliness epidemic, I haven't been able to find much in the way of what lonely people can do do build community especially in the atheist / agnostic realm.

- I've tried several meetups but nothing has really stuck as in finding people who consistently come for an activity and the opportunity to connect more deeply

Yeah and I get that that's your point, but it's not immediately clear to me that size is the problem. But we don't have these problems in e.g. Singapore or Tokyo - cities that are several orders of magnitude larger than SF or most cities in the US. It seems weirdly fatalistic to shrug our shoulders and say "meh" about this problem.
Programming can be a tough job. People are attracted by the pay and the great working conditions but the career is not for everyone. True you're not in the middle of a construction site with the sun shining in the middle of the summer but the constant pressure to produce will eat you up. There's a point where you just burn out if you're not careful.

Yes, if you are getting sick because of work then yes it's the wrong job for you.

What do you do now? Look at what you like and find a job that has many of the characteristics you like. You won't find the perfect job at the start but you can slowly evaluate the new job and move towards what you like. Volunteer if you can. Find a career coach to help you.
I surely can't be the only one who sees open down to the hardware replacements as the only solution to this type of problems.
That requires having a degree of certainty supporting any attempt to name names. If you're not certain they lied to you, then your new story is potentially libel. For example, let's say they were given information they were certain was correct, and they handed it to a journalist in confidence. They're a trusted source. You both got duped. What's the value in burning them publicly, especially if you're going to do it by calling them a liar and exposing yourself to risk?

There are cases where the press really needs to take people to task but the amount of secrecy and ambiguity in this story makes it seem like a case where it can't (or shouldn't) be done.
