There's no force involved here, this is just Basecamp being upset they now have to pay Google for what they do.

Basecamp made a value judgement that the value google provides through its search results is worth the price of paying for ads. This is revealed preference in action, Google has done nothing wrong here other than be the best at what they do.
Many "Winmodems" in the 90's and beyond were little more than soundcards connected to an RJ-11. Modulation/demodualtion was done in software, and this was in the sub-1GHz days of PCs. So this was actually not uncommon, but of course binary only.

There were some Linux projects to do this in a generic way - basically generate the required tones over the audio output and interpret tones over an audio input - and implement the various ITU V-series standards (though some of them were patented and could not be implemented, like V.92 for 56k).

There's another one other than iaxmodem (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3069945/open-source-soft...) but I can't remember what it is.

How much time needs to pass before the British aren’t blamed for the Middle East’s problems? I always see colonialism or the “random” borders drawn by the British being blamed for the problems today. It’s almost been 100 years (1932) since the kingdom was founded.

This isn’t a jab at your comment more of a question. Here’s an article that talks about Arab army’s inefficiencies and has a lot to do with the family holding power over others.[1]

"Disparate impact"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact
I think you might be missing part of the philosophy. If you take a look at purescript-web-dom, most of the browser APIs have merely been wrapped. This saves you work and you can use it if needed, but it is encourage to use this as a foundation to build better APIs/DSLs (heck, steal them from Elm). Elm does a similar thing under the covers, and they release an often better API than the browsers, however, you can't use this intermediate representation to build alternative APIs and many times you have to wait years for anything to even pop-up in elm-explorations because nothing is satisfactory if it doesn't improve upon the browser's standard. This philosophy has its pros and cons, and while sometimes the APIs can be clunky in PureScript because it's just wrapping the browser API, I never felt straight-up blocked by a missing feature.

With Elm you can't, for example, use the browsers Intl API to get plurals, currencies, dates, etc. This is the type of thing you want to partially apply/instantiate with your locale, then use it synchronously at the view level with your model for display. You just don't have the access to do this because a proposal must be made and approved by the Elm team. It'll probably be good API, but you'll be SOL in the meantime (for possibly years). This isn't a dev cycle that works for every person, team, or project.

Driving in Canada was the first I've encountered stop lights on such a high speed road (I think maybe it was less, perhaps 50mph). I have to say it felt pretty crazy. However, the same situation in the UK would have a roundabout with half a mile of yellow warning lines on the run up to it.

> In the US, "left", "liberal", and "Democrat" have been related for so long that they've been nearly synonymous for a good two decades. Which isn't the case in almost any other part of the world.

In most of the world (outside of some one party states where the ruling party shifts with the poltiical winds to avoid losing dominance, like Mexico when it was under one-party rule), especially in multiparty democracies, the association of ideologies with parties is much stronger and more consistent than in the US. That aside, the dominant ideology of the Democratic Party has actually been consistent for a little over two-decades, but that ideology is center-right neoliberalism, not leftist. “Lefist” has mostly been associated with the Democratic Party because of the propaganda efforts of the even farther right party, not because of any real substance. It's only recently (since about 2014) that a faction even vaguely leftist has given any significant challenge to the dominant center-right faction of the Democratic Party.

It seems scarily close to the justifications sought for communism/socialism. The usual excuse is that it didn’t work because it was not implemented correctly in Russia, North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela... etc. etc.
That is true. However we had multiple areas in the world where we could watch the mobile market basically explode within a short amount of time, there are people using phones for hours daily across time spans upwards of a decade and yet so far I haven't heard of any health statistic correlating with this trend.

Whereas with smoking we can see over ten times higher risks for certain types of cancer-related deaths. That doesn't mean there's no effect due to mobile phones, but I think if it were remotely comparable to smoking we'd see a significant impact by now.
A key problem with the complaints is that customer reviews don't† take into account the effect of commingling. The expired food might have come from a different seller initially, but you were sent it because of Amazon's supply line optimisations.

Amazon will know but when you write your review or read someone else's, you won't.

Same problem as counterfeit goods and commingling though iirc there are more control in place on perishables so this aspect of the problem rears its head less often.

That's because it is entirely mental.

Blind tests were done on people, and their ability to recognise a radiation source was the same as random picking.

Anybody claiming to be able to sense radiation can be tested simply by taking two mobile phones, turning one off (leaving one connected to the internet and doing something online), putting both in a bag/under a bucket/..., having someone else randomly swap their position and trying to guess which is the one that is radiating at the moment. I can guarantee you're guesses will be around 50% in the long run, so basically random guesses.

Consider it a display driver / primitive and call it good.

Blit needs two basics. One bit per pixel and two bits. That is it. Color maps and such do not need to be a part of things, or the programmer can manipulate them directly where they are available.

>whether write for gfx chips

Sure. Again, bitmap games have their charm. That is all. Trust me, I wrote to those chips and that is a different thing.

Your comment on the C64 Robotron is interesting. Had they broke a few rules, it could have delivered more like the Apple 2 did.

Players of Robotron would take it as the fast action trumps just about everything else. I linked that title as a great example, because of that.

I was there in 85, and plenty of us played the crap out of Robotron on the Apple and PC (given a fast enough one, lol) and played it because it delivered what Robotron was about. Many did not enjoy C64 or Atari Robotron because other trade offs were made. The arcade cabinet was common. The title was relevant.

The best ports rendered quick to a bitmap just like the original did. Now, the original had a 6809 and a blitter assist. That made for insane action, and is not directly comparable when considering minor artifacts along the way.

Here's the thing:

You and I both loved those platforms for similar reasons. No argument. Making something that can deliver across a more 8 bit machines does something else.

It does not take away from the greatness. When the demoscene gives up, I will worry. New C64 / Amiga productions still happen, and still push it all in that way we love.

But, there is a fun world of 8 bit gaming and such out there working differently too. Most of that is on a 1 or 2 bpp bitmap.

That is really all to the comment I made.

Recently, I have been enjoying things on Apple, Spectrum, and soon maybe a BBC Micro. Bitmaps and clever ways of delivering the goods. I found there are things to appreciate, I would have not before.

The more the merrier.

8 bits are enough. Honestly, that people still create in that space is a lot of fun. However they do that, I want them to do that.

Does not mean I would do it that way. But it does mean I would totally give what others did a go.

I’m a coastal elite, but my wife is from small town Iowa. The kind of town where everyone went to the same high school. Yes, they have poor people. But what’s remarkable about California, New York, DC, etc., is that it’s not just the poor people who are on the outside looking in. It’s middle class people. It’s far more exclusionary in practice than places that put a heavy emphasis on religious affiliation. My wife’s high school friends who live around Des Moines own their own houses in their 30s. That’s a linchpin of stability and societal belonging that is out of reach to middle class people in places like San Francisco.

Two things that really shook my views on the last several years was (1) living in downtown DC for a year; and (2) traveling regularly to Texas. In DC we lived in Chinatown, which has been completely gentrified. Everyone was rich, and nobody had children (the local schools are still terrible). There was an extreme disparity between the (white and Asian) gentrifiers and the people of color they were displacing. Despite there being lots of white people, you almost never saw a white kid working a service job. (All this gave me flashbacks to Bangladesh, so I packed up and moved my family to somewhere less dysfunctional.)

Texas, especially East Texas, was the opposite. Thriving suburbs of people enjoying Big Box amenities. No Michelin star restaurants and lots of religion, but with much lower display of class and race distinctions. Tons of families with children. I encountered a cab driver in Austin who sang the city’s praises. He was from Morocco and had moved to the Austin suburbs about a decade ago. He and other cab drivers were able to buy three bedroom homes with pools in a good school district. He was living the American dream.

As to cost of living in California, that goes to my point. California isn’t “liberal capitalist” in terms of housing. It’s centrally planned in the extreme.
I'm going to cast a vote for 'Unix & Linux System Administration Handbook' - it's been around a long time and is currently on edition 5. It's the book that made me fall in love with system administration.

It's an extensive and well-rounded look at various fundamental system administration topics with examples included from multiple different *nix distributions (topics like work management, logging, networking, security, the kernel, systemd, permissions, etc.). If you're at all interested in Linux, this is a great book to have on your shelf.

Cool post, i wish I could do something similar at work.

I'm wondering why you went through the pain of making an HTTP server to process JS files, instead of say putting the temporary file over a ramdisk and running the formatters in parallel over multiple files. Plus, even if it's slow, you only have to run it a few times right?

Well, if you train a ML-based hiring system on the data you have - and all the top performers just happen to fall within a certain narrow group (for example: Male, 30s, White or Asians, College educated, etc.), then that said system will most likely predict similar individuals to be good hires - while radically different will get random, or even negative predictions.

Imagine it as a movie recommender system. If you only watch a certain type of movies, then that system is going to keep recommending similar movies to you.
There's no real time limit on this stuff. For example I blame the mongols 800 years ago for China's current problems.
I keep hearing how much people love Notion, but I really didn't enjoy it. I found the desktop app (Electron, no doubt) rather slow/unresponsive. And I hated the login system where they just email you a new temporary password each time you want access. I use a password manager, so this is absolutely awful for me. And I don't know how many times I wanted to reference a note on mobile without signal and was asked to log in again, which was of course impossible without my email! I just could not get into this product.

All the tool recommendations are nice. I am sure that folks have really awesome Confluence set-ups.

Whatever you do, however, there is NO replacement for face-to-face discussion and interaction. There's no replacement for pedagogy that is as old as history itself: the Socratic method. The best way to learn something is for both the teacher and the student to ask and answer questions, to solve problems together.

Yes, it's true that it only scales like 1 -> N, where N is a small number. BUT, each of those people in that initial small "N" can also rollout knowledge if they've mastered it, if they have the right attitude about sharing knowledge, and if you trust them to do that.

You’re right in the case of rebase, and I like the point about making alternate histories, but I don’t mind the word ‘rewriting’ because the net effect is to modify the history that ‘master’ points to. I assume the downvotes are due to the article’s main point being about true history rewriting; using filter-branch and BFG isn’t creating an alternate, it’s truly re—writing.

Anyway, personally, I’d pick on the other word sometimes, and suggest we don’t call it rewriting ‘history’ when rebasing local changes before push. Maybe it’d be better to define “history” to mean things that are pushed and shared with others, and call commits that haven’t been shared something like “local changes”. Might be moot in this case since the article was mainly about rewriting the entire repo, so “history” is totally appropriate, but still perhaps nice to use terminology to distinguish between commits that have been shared from commits that haven’t, since that is the line across which one should be more careful with any kind of rewrite.

I think it's applicability first, then trust second.

Applicability - The platform has to get me to some goal faster, easier, better than if I got at it alone. The goal can be anything. Ex. If I need to build messaging within my app I'll use Twilio, if I need distribution/users, I'll list on iOS/Android.

Trust - It's all the signal that platform has staying power. Great APIs and docs means they care and are investing in developers, years in existence, community, amount of end users, pass history of doing what they say relative to roadmap, etc. I think it's weighing all these tings before you start to build.

> How much time needs to pass before the British aren’t blamed for the Middle East’s problems?

The problems in the Middle East region need to be solved, and only then this will be possible. Almost everything - from the current state in the various dictatorships over Kurdistan to the Israel/Palestine conflict (and even much stuff in the Asian continent, like the Pakistan/India conflict!) can be traced to the disastrous end of the British colonial era.
It's politics. Iran and Russia against the us and Saudi. The US has been keeping the price of oil low to cripple the other side since they are primarily oil economies.

The attack on saudi oil facilities and tankers, and this sort of whisper campaign, are supposed to put pressure on saudi and drive the price of oil up for Russia and Iran so they can afford more foreign intervention.

Interesting. It's unfortunate that this will be used as ammunition for climate skeptics.

It seems that ice cliffs are very different than ice sheets - the things currently melting. Ice cliffs were previously supposed to account for up to 6 feet of sea level rise, instead of the much more toned-down projections we have seen in the last few years.

The subtle distinction between ice cliffs and ice sheets will be lost in the media re-telling of this. Sometimes I wonder if science can ever truly be put to work for mass society? It seems not.

I totally agree with you. The "social contract" was the premise the author started his article with. So not only did he not address his own premise, that premise is also wrong or a least worth discussing. shrug

another dark pattern these kinds of aggregator sites do is up the price on flights/hotels that you've recently viewed. so if you are looking at a flight, then continue to browse for a bit to see other options, when you come back to that flight the price will have increased, as though it were no longer available. if you clear your cookies or open in another browser though, you'll find the original lower price again.
