OP here.
Thank you for giving it a read.

In my experience, I've find myself wanting dynamic typing when I want to prototype stuff, or when I used to work with Java.
Modern statically typed languages (e.g Typescript) take care of most of my "rapid prototyping" needs, while making a decent effort at keeping me from shooting myself in the foot. I might of course be suffering from the "Javascript fatigue", but I feel the same way when I am working with Python. Playing around with Haskell completely changed the way I used to look at types. And the tooling that comes with a statically typed language means much less cognitive overhead.

If you'd have some time on your hand, would you state the use cases and benefits of dynamically typed languages that you have experienced here? I am sure I am experiencing some tunnel vision.

We do get those articles, and they are a waste of time.

What's a waste of time about this? It seems reasonably well balanced, facebook have an incredibly narrow line to walk launching this currency. Finance unlike the internet actually has regulation, and a negative view from a regulator has the potential to scupper the project. Everyone is cautious as a result. Its a chess match at this point.
At some point IBM offered Apple the Cell processor.

Correct, there are solutions, but in our case none of them were feasible because we didn't control what was happening inside the iframe.
I use Firefox everywhere. I tried Chrome recently and it feels a lot faster, but in the end the ability to block ads and trackers (everywhere, including mobile which is where I do most of my browsing) is more important than a bit of speed. If Firefox is fast enough, then faster is pointless. But as can be seen in this thread, some people believe it's their duty to look at ads so for them the extra speed is probably a nice bonus (and perhaps partially compensates for the extra work their browser is doing).
Does automation have any effect on cost of living? How something is made doesn't change its market value.
Checkbot ignores robots.txt here because Google can still index pages even when they're included in robots.txt files.

If you don't want pages to be indexed, you should use a "noindex" tag instead of robots.txt. It's a common misconception that robots.txt stops indexing when it doesn't. See:

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en

> Important! For the noindex directive to be effective, the page must not be blocked by a robots.txt file. If the page is blocked by a robots.txt file, the crawler will never see the noindex directive, and the page can still appear in search results, for example if other pages link to it.
Pull requests for typos ('Hyerlocal' is another one, 'Migeration ', online-to-offline vs Offline-to-Online vs - in the image - Online2Offline) feel like overkill to me though?

My understanding is that mutual defence pacts meant that in theory various countries "had" to go to war to defend Austria-Hungary after the assassination (and similarly to oppose them).

It was pretty tongue-in-cheek, but I was saying from that point the Royals involved could have solved things without having a World war.

Edward and Wilhelm could probably just have been spanked by their nannies and sent to bed without any supper.

I'm not well versed on it but WWI always seems to me like a duel in which the factions chose 'millions of other lives' instead of swords or pistols.

Transsaccadic memory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsaccadic_memory is the name for the phenomenon I described for vision. It's uncontroversial that what we think we see is synthesised because saccades are definitely a thing, you can watch other people's eyes move while they report not changing where they're looking - but exactly how that synthesis works is not something for which you'll find widespread agreement. The experiment where you watch yourself looking at one eye then another in the mirror is a trivial one to do at home on your own though if you just want that sharp "Oh!" moment as a quick pay off. Why don't your eyes seem to move!

The underpinning idea in the free will thing is Wegner's idea, he's done various experiments about this e.g.:

The mechanics of speech is complicated and most of the people most of the time have no idea what is actually going on, pretty much like with breathing.

It doesn't help that alphabetical writing systems are sold to us from young age as if they were actual representing the sounds. They are not, and in more subtle ways than you'd think.

For example, in the context of B's and P's, English has "explosive consonants". In many words the "p" sound is actually followed by a puff of air. But this also happens incidentally when B is followed by some other sounds. Imagine pronouncing "beautiful" without emitting any puff of air after the B and you'll notice you sound Italian or Indian.

So, if your native language doesn't have the p sound at all and you learn it from examples in English it's quite likely you'll latch on the "puff of air" feature of exaggerated explosive variant of the p sound you might be practicing a lot.

You'll then hear a similar sound in beautiful, and try to repeat that too but native speakers might percieve that as a p sound
I don't think people believe facebook posts about lizard masons controlling the government because mainstream media is biased.
Sorry, but you’re mistaken. The parent never brought up IE - he was referring to the fact that when serving XHTML with the correct mime-type (application/xhtml+xml), any error causes the page not to render at all. This behaviour is intended per spec and was the same across all browsers, not due to lack of support. It’s called “draconian error handling”, consequence of being XML, and was a major factor in the death of XHTML.

On the other hand how often have you read in documentation “Do not mutate this buffer” or the equivalent? It is very possible to create traps for people who pick up your code later on. Having the compiler detect those problems rather then it causing a runtime error is something highly desirable.
There are plenty of issues the WashPo, Atlantic & NYTimes are absolute garbage on.
I disagree.

OS certificate stores often come with the political baggage of the OS manufacturer. When a Chinese Gov't CA was found to have engaged in fraudulent behavior [0] Google and Firefox were quick to revoke/remove the CA cert from their products. Apple and Microsoft did not do the same, likely because they do not want to upset the Chinese Gov't. (IIRC Iphone users cannot even manually revoke CA's on their own phones.)

Wouldn't that be the exponential distribution? The poisson distribution would tell you how many customers would arrive in any given time interval.
Obviously nature thrived there. Areas where people don’t go are like that. It’s not unlike nature reserves. People are a danger to nature.

The direct cause is that there are no people around, not that a nuclear disaster happened. The nuclear disaster caused the people to leave, which makes the disaster the indirect cause of nature thriving.

It’s not as though the increase in background radiation made nature thrive. The lack of people did that.

I’m all in favor of nature reserves, but we do not need nuclear disasters to create them and I don’t think we should let luck pick around which nuclear plant we want a nature reserve. We should put our nature reserves wherever we damn well please.

(I’m honestly questioning whether you actually read the article you linked. I will admit, I also didn’t before I wrote the comment. I was surprised to find that it makes essentially the same argument I’m using, down to using the same exact words.)

This article/researcher makes claims that:
a) there is a mental health crisis among teenagers which is not parallel to other comparable generations, and
b) that crisis is linked to mobile phones.

I'm not convinced by either claim.

In my experience of working with teenagers over the last couple of decades, there is a general trend that they are now better at communicating their emotional needs and emotional state. If teens are more able to clearly and openly express the fact that they are sad, does that mean they are more sad? I think not.

Teenagers face far greater economic insecurity than before, and are more acutely aware of it. What will the workforce look like when they graduate highschool? Jobs that teenagers would have been invited to do are being replaced with automated checkouts and computer vision algorithms. Teenagers are required to go into more debt than ever, to escape this lack of opportunities via education.

The article identifies that today's teenagers: get in less car accidents, have less risky sex, have a lower rate of teenage pregnancy, ingest less risky substances, are generally less violent - and presents this all as bad because it is different than what came before. Is it bad? Would people 20 years ago have thought this was bad?

The author expresses great surprise that people sleep with their phones beside their bed - whereas, it is a great surprise to me that she doesn't. It has an extremely useful function as an alarm clock.

I suspect that she would find that a vast majority of her generation of 47-year olds also sleeps with their phone within an arm's reach.
Yes, pretty much. And the investments we make into long term stability are more fragile than we think, because our will to maintain it is unreliable. Whether it's an independent judicial system, freeways, water reservoirs for drought, public housing projects, bank capital, political alliances or whatever our underestimation of how much trouble we were in before the systems were in place or the desire to appease voters by "saving" their tax money compels us to rather quickly neglect and tear down what was deemed an absolute necessity in times of crisis.

It's the same thing with the planet, I'm afraid. We just don't understand how important a stable climate is for the stability of our civilization and thus we don't really have the will to maintain it. Once the crisis has developed into something that's completely unsustainable for the ones with influence and power a reaction will come.

I've had multiple talks with managers about the need to invest time and resources in our tech infrastructure after long periods of user and feature growth, only to be turned down because it's not as important as more features. Once a nasty situation rolls around time and resources to make sure this never happens again magically pops up.

The copilot pulling the yoke back continued to do so, long after the other, much more experienced, copilot had formally assumed control and had attempted to bring the nose back down by pushing the yoke forward. Ultimately the inexperienced copilot fighting against his more experienced superior was what doomed the airplane. Both the senior copilot and the captain immediately identified the problem and attempted to take the correct action.

This is not a problem with how the system works, since this behaviour is explicitely communicated to pilots. It even says right on the instrument panel what control law the plane is in. There are only a handful of control laws and the differences aren't that complex. Anyone with sufficient experience in flying Airbus products knows this.

if You make emails inconvenient for non-security minded people by removing something as important as links, you will push mainstream users to move away of the medium (because other way to communicate will definitely support links and not force people to copy paste), which doesn’t help or solve anything.

There's more creation but virtually all of it is ADHD-driven - shallow quick-hit micro-entertainment designed to drive analytics.

And a lot of it is interchangeable and repetitive - like all those Instagram photos taken in the same popular locations with the same few stock poses.

The same thing applies to music (generic watered-down techno with bass-drum-under-samples and maybe a bit of synth), visual art (digital paintings of pretty anime-influenced girls, lone heroic fantasy figures dwarfed by an impossibly huge menacing monster, relatively trivial generative code animations), and short movies (generic sci-fi settings and tropes, generic scripts, pro-quality CGI.)

Unusual talent, deep mastery of a medium with some awareness of its history, non-trivial content, and an original voice are very rare.

It's not that it's all terrible, but there's far more superficial trope mimicry than powerfully resonant original creative work.

Call me dumb for saying this, but I can go to a casino or chuck e. cheese and trade in USD for chips I use at their location. I could take those chips somewhere else if I wanted to and use them with anyone willing to take them. Why is Libra so upsetting? Isn't it the same thing? It seems to me like criticizing Facebook is just the fashionable response to it right now.
I'd phrase it differently:

If we would scale down to only productive essential jobs, most people would be siting at home doing whatever they like.

So no, I am not happy that people do bullshit jobs just for the sake of having a job at all.
> Taking off my nostalgia-colored glasses, every cartoon I remember watching as a kid pushed merchandise in some form or another, even if it was only the licensed character figures and graphic tee-shirts.

I'll guess that's because you lived in the US :). I grew up in a post-Soviet country; for all the downsides they had, at least our cartoons were really top-notch and not yet touched by commercialization. You can bet that Reksio the dog, or Krecik the mole, or Filemon the cat weren't pushing any merchandise. They were just relaxing cartoons for children.

(In the 90s we had some western classics in private TV stations too; I watched plenty of Dexter's Lab, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Tom&Jerry, Wile E. Coyote & the Road Runner, etc. Somewhere around pre-teens we got access to Nickelodeon/Fox Kids, and I got my fair taste of Marvel & DC-based animations too. Most of that I'd consider a-ok for my kid.)

Casinos are highly regulated. If Facebook was under a similar degree of regulations I would be at ease.
There is a significant community in the (biological) sciences that are reliant on the Mac platform as an intermediate between Windows based applications such as Office and, importantly, the often highly specific programs/scripts/applications created for Unix platforms for analysis. Ignoring these users would be a mistake.

Personally, after 13 years of Macs any computer I'm buying in the near future are going to be Linux based because of the current trajectories Apple have decided to take.

Just insight from a different community I guess.
I think Edge is good for Chromium. That puts Microsoft as a stakeholder there too, which takes power away from Google. If Apple were to move to a chromium-backed Safari, that would mean that three major players would be stakeholders in Chromium having a sane future.

This means that if you send a meaningful patch, Google doesn't like it, but Microsoft and Apple do, it might get merged.

Well, it seems like if the biggest social network is initiating currency project then rather have a foot in than out, no?

More broadly, it seems that yet another media campaign to push Facebook's bowl over somehow is going on. Not a fan of the company by any means, but it does look like this project has merit and will happen whether the naysayers want it or not. Given this I would just assume that any big tech company would like to participate with their knowhow.

And yes, maybe it won't succeed, but it's hard to see how it wouldn't. I guess the regulators are the biggest possible obstacle.
>you define middle class as the middle of the income distribution

I don't think that's a good definition for the middle class. There's strong support for the fact that income distribution is an exponential distributions - just google "income distribution exponential".

A exponential distribution is not symmetrical, so its mean or median is not a great centrality measure, it does agree with intuitions developed from observing, say, a normal distribution (like the weight or height of persons). The mean or median are very far from the mode (the most frequent individual) in an exponential, whereas they're almost identical in a normal.
You can easily swap the functionality of the two keyboard keys in the BIOS settings of your laptop (you must do something like this: https://www.geek.com/chips/how-to-swap-the-fn-and-ctrl-keys-...).
The funny thing is that I am the only one in our company that did this, meaning that when a colleague tries to use my keyboard, they fail in 95% of the case.
It's always funny to see this happen, but my colleagues get often fustrated. You have been warned ;)
Cisco are not using dedicated hardware logic like Allegro DVT I think. For phones etc, dedicated hardware will be very useful, but it takes time to get into products, which is why a real time CPU encoder is very interesting.

Looking at the video (https://vimeo.com/344366650) of the Cisco talk, at 20m18s they say a "real time low latency HD software encoder" [emphasis added], which confirms it.

I don't think using chips is why they are regulated though. It is more the gambling with chips or actual dollars that causes the regulation.
