I think you're dead-on. The cringe analysis is mostly subsumed by in-group/out-group analysis.

> (I think this part explains a lot of the popularity of Trump despite scandals: Some of his fans know or will acknowledge he's doing bad things, but it's just considered much less important than the belief that Trump will never punch in the direction of his fans but the other side will. -- Hopefully a connection to politics doesn't feel too out of place here. In-group/out-group dynamics seem like something common to human psychology that we should expect to see in many places.)

I don't think this is accurate. I think that Trump's popularity is mostly due to his "realness". He's the exact opposite of a career politician. He doesn't talk like a lawyer and, despite being rich, he has an everyman quality to him. He's incredibly unpretentious.

Trump reminds me of something from Notes from a Dead House. Dostoevsky describes a prison warden who was beloved by the inmates due to his homespun character despite the fact that he took pleasure in beating them:

> There are men who are far from being kind, and who have yet the talent of making themselves popular; they do not despise the people who are beneath their rule. That, I think, is the cause of this popularity. They do not give themselves lordly airs; they have no feeling of "caste;" they have a certain odour of the people; they are men of birth, and the people at once sniff it. They will do anything for such men; they will gladly change the mildest and most humane man for a very severe chief, if the latter possesses this sort of odour, and especially if the man is also genial in his way. Oh! then he is beyond price.

> Lieutenant Smekaloff, as I have said, ordered sometimes very severe punishments. But he seemed to inflict them in such a way, that the prisoners felt no rancour against him. On the contrary, they recalled his whipping affairs with laughter; he did not punish frequently, for he had no artistic imagination.

That's Trump as far as I'm concerned.
Fewer wheels theoretically is better for fuel economy, in that air drag can be reduced more than wheel contact with the road, especially if you are freed to design the body such that there are only 2 points of contact with the road instead of 4. The gyro stabilization should also avoid skidding or aquaplaning sideways.

2 wheels are also theoretically more manuevrable.

In practice this stuff mostly wasn't achieved, and there are also plenty of downsides, but then few people tried.

Prolog really blows my mind.

I recently released a match-burning logic puzzle app[1] based on a mensa calendar puzzle I saw and it took me a while to develop an (imperfect) solver algorithm in C#. Someone then told me that the general class of these puzzles is called "Thermometer Puzzles" and that there are a ton of Prolog-based solvers[2] out there.

This class of puzzle is not mentioned in the article, but I'm truly amazed at how versatile Prolog is at solving logic puzzles with so little code. I'm guessing the Prolog compiler is super complex compared to, say, a C compiler to be able to give developers that much power.

If you had to put in compounding effort, the compounding output would seem far less intriguing or worthwhile. If investment returns weren't exponential, or required exponential input to receive exponential output, it'd be far less useful of a concept.
You're right. When I was young and stupid I did wiring repairs on 110v circuits without bothering to switch them off. I got shocked a lot, but now that I'm older and smarter I know I just got lucky.

> Although, to me, it may be a bit of hyperbole. Or maybe some not completely unjustified paranoia.

"There may come a time when you could be jailed for what you wrote" certainly sounds hyperbolic, but then go back 20 years and imagine who then would have predicted the massive, high stakes (career and industry revenue wise) controversy over the manager of an NBA team making a comment about the freedom of Hong Kong.

Or, who could have foreseen such an interesting combination of situations such as a comedian turned Democratic senator being forced to resign by colleagues over excessive freshness with ~7 or so women, combined with many of the same people's odd disinterest in a shadowy figure who is allegedly involved in fairly significant trafficking young girls to the rich and famous, who then proceeds to commit suicide under similarly odd circumstances.

As they say, not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.
Agree wholeheartedly.

We have fire tv and Amazon has added more and more advertising to the point it’s nauseating (an ad for Shameless in the middle of a bunch of baby pictures is jarring).

In regards to what can be learned in an hour, a roll with someone gives you an idea of what it is like to be on the ground with someone in a fight without striking, biting, eye gouging, etc.It is a decent simulation if what would happen when on the ground and the idea that if someone doesn't honor your tap, you can be in big trouble.

Good advice on the water. Similar to how people learn ovens, it helps to learn pans. The best method I've tried so far is a ~2:1 ratio (adjust to desired texture) in a 14" wide, lidded, enameled skillet. I'll try the oven again soon to compare, but that particular pan on a stovetop is hard to beat. Learn your pans.
The author is using a trick from philosophy - taking an existing word (in this case: cringe) and redefining it in a new expansive way somewhat related to its original meaning. Whereas it originally might mean "an involuntary reaction to something embarrassing" the author seems to intend for it to mean "embarrassing, self unaware, shallow, vapid" with the added comprehension that cringe is a rank-able thing - someone is always more "cringe" then you.

> you don't see it as dismissive sexist and racist stereotyping just because it's in the reverse direction sexism and racism usually goes?

No, I don't see it as sexist and racist because the context makes it very plain to me that it's not a stereotype of white men. The people complaining seem to think that "most X are white men" and "most white men are X" are the same statement.
It's always annoying to see identity politics injected into hard sciences:

> Archaeologists—predominantly male—gave ancient ages names like “Iron” and “Bronze,” rather than “Pottery” or “Flax.”

Entire cultures are named after their pottery. For example, there are the "corded ware culture" and "bell beaker culture." Archaeologists pay very close attention to material culture (including more feminine items like jewelry). Maybe - just maybe - it's harder to know about fabrics than metals because the former degrade more quickly than the latter. Or we could just blame it on men.

Considering double-shot requires molds for every key, that would mean pretty much having a mold for every single key on every single profile. Perfectly possible, but that set would very likely cost more than the $200 you're saying you'd pay for it.
Soldering is a useful skill that's easy to learn the basics of, and can be done in an hour. You'll need to have bought a basic soldering kit before you get to it though. :)

Again, not necessarily a work around, but you might check with your local library in the US. Our library gives us access to online NYT.
Insightful. I will be treading a very similar path soon.

So, isn't there a way to emulate FP's `map` mechanics for example, in Rust, without losing performance?

EDIT: To reflect your edits, this is why I want to learn Rust. I am as happy as one can be with Elixir due to Erlang's transparent super-robust and predictable parallel performance; this thing simply does not lag! However, I'd like to be prepared and be able to utilise Rust on the performance hot-spots.
Easiest way to cut through AI BS: ask “what’s their dataset?” If it’s not obvious, there’s a problem. AI is only as powerful as the data it learns from.

There is one exception to this: if an exhaustive simulation of the problem exists. This is why AI is so successful at sandboxed games like chess and Go. It can generate its own data with zero ambiguity.

So: what’s your dataset? What simulation are you inverting? If neither, you’re just writing an expert system based on heuristics.
It's quite real. This is why we try very hard (everything short of kidnapping) to take people to the hospital after a bad car wreck ("high energy mechanism of injury" is the term we use) even if they're walking around saying they're fine.

OK, let's try again. I gave a correct summary of what I've learned from Goldberg and elsewhere. In a short comment.

This article is "terrible" because it gives a single bad example and derides a very good reference implying it's too complicated. And steals it's title.

Every programmer that uses floating point should read Goldberg. That blog post is garbage. Post the real source, or an informative article, not junk.

This sends the completely wrong message:

It may be true only for the people that have invested ALL their money as a lump sum right before the index crashed (at the worst possible time).

For anybody else, those that say invested in the previous few years into a passive index fund, and continued to invest in the next few years they would have broken even within two years then probably quadrupled their money by today.

Keeping the same amount in a bank would have turned it into 30% less - a decrease similar to what the "crash" would have caused.
Counterpoint: it’s accurate for me on a 1Gbps symmetric connection - it actually gives me a better result than the web speed test which I assume is limited by Javascript performance.

> Without ads there would be basically no free content online, and those who cannot afford content would simply go without.

There was plenty of free content online before ads, in fact I claim that the web was better before ads arrived, and it is getting worse by the day. Marketeers ruined it.

It happens over and over. YouTube had plenty of great content for free before monetization. Now it is becoming worse by the day, because everything is ad-related. "Influencers", etc.

> Consider how much better the world has become due to easy access to information. To yank that away seems like bringing a dark age.

Easy access to information is a consequence of the Internet and then the Web, both technologies having been developed by government-funded programs, respectively in the US and in the EU.

Ads brought us re-centraliztion, targeting and erosion of democracy through extreme polarization and fake news.

I know this is hard to believe for a lot of people here, but human beings are motivated by many things other than monetary profit.
> If some asshat decides to jack the prices of .orgs, why can't the majors (Google, MSFT, ...) just point to another DNS?

When you go to "www.example.org", you are really going to "www.example.org.". The extra period at the end is subtle, but important.

The path of a DNS query is "." -> "org" -> "example" -> "www". Before a DNS client can lookup "example.org", it has to know where the DNS servers for the "org" TLD are, and it gets those values from the root domain servers, ".".

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_root_zone

So how does a DNS client know how to find root domain servers? It's bootstrapped manually. Every DNS server has a static file that contains the values:

* https://www.internic.net/domain/named.root

Once it contacts the root servers, a DNS server can then fetch the pointers to all the TLD and ccTLD name servers:

* https://www.internic.net/domain/root.zone

* https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db

There is no practical way for anyone to change the "." -> "org" pointers. You can do it on your own server, but you can't force anyone else to.
Cringe is being used as a noun, here. If something makes you feel embarrassed, or makes others embarrassed on your behalf, that's cringe. The reasons behind that embarrassment is entirely dependent on the cultural context of the observer.

Say you find yourself in Victorian culture, and you use the shrimp fork to pit an olive: cringe! Some observers will laugh behind their hands: cringe! Others will gossip about you later, others will gossip about the loss of decorum of those who laughed.

Or maybe you're out in the back country with some cultured locals, who offer you coffee in the morning. You say "yes please, a bone-dry triple venti cappuccino with whipped cream and salted caramel!" Cringe! With a hearty guffaw, they pour off a cup from the percolator and drop a couple of elk berries to fancy it up a bit. In a bold attempt to save face, you act casual and drink it down. Cringe! Now they'll be telling your tale for years to come.
I never tried that, but my understanding is that those tests wouldn't check if the distributed business logic works. To do that, you would need to set up the state for the various services, and I don't see any easy way to do that. Am I missing anything?

You are correct about fiduciary duty, even in private companies.

Cases I'm aware of violating fiduciary duty, however, have all involved actions the board wasn't aware of.

WeWork seems fairly unique in that Adam Neumann's actions all seem to have been highly transparent.

I'm certainly not a lawyer, so I'm actually quite curious about the ramifications of fiduciary responsibility here. That responsibility is to the other investors... but if they are equally assenting, then I don't see how there's a crime here. On the other hand, if this is, say, Adam Neumann with SoftBank harming other dissenting investors who have small minority stakes, then there's quite possibly a case here -- that might include SoftBank as well for some kind of negligence, no?
I’ve done a couple cluster switches from k8s on AWS to other providers like Digital Ocean and GCP. As far as I recall we had no issues and one of those was done in about an hour were most of the time was spent waiting for pg_dump/restore.

Note that most of these were not production clusters so switch-over was just data restore and DNS changes.

I build clusters from the start to not use cloud-specifics where possible and all cloud-specific configuration is on the cluster edges in terraform which you have to rewrite anyway when switching clouds.

Auth things like IAM permissions are not an issue if everything is “in cluster” and auth/permissions are checked there.

Most of these deployments consist of several application servers, PG databases, redis, rabbitmq etc

Websites get bloated because the companies aren't aware of all the tracking going on in the first place.

What usually happens is that the marketing team signs a contract then developers copy and paste a JavaScript snippet to embed on the website and move on.

The work arounds require much more intention and the solutions can be hacky like modifying urls in a minified JS file.

If that tracking is blocked, it is invisible to the company especially if only the third party who has access to the data.

Good luck on your journey.
You mean like cable TV, where you paid for premium, commercial free content for years until they realized that they could charge you AND put ads in? Or Twitch Prime? Or any of the dozen other paid services that have done this..
It's a long slow death then. I have some cables (extension cords) that are thirty years old and I don't think I've had one fail yet.
clang-format does account for this: if you break your includes into groups with blank lines, clang-format will sort within but not across the groups. That is, clang-format offers a crude but simple API to the programmer to express which headers have order dependency, and which don't.

Given that headers can have order dependency, it is sadly part of a C++ programmer's responsibility to know which do, just as it is their responsibility to know which functions have side-effects, etc. If they are using clang-format, it is then their responsibility to communicate this knowledge to it.
Indeed, keeping the money in a bank would have caused losing the same amount of value over long as the temporary stock crash did.

As soon as you see the text load, hit the "stop loading" button (usually takes the place of the refresh button). JavaScript doesn't load, so the paywall is never put in place.

Works pretty reliably across the board, unless maybe you have lightning fast Internet. Maybe there's a plugin to selectively disable JS that would make this easier.

I personally don’t see a problem with this. Where do you draw the line at model simplicity? Are decision trees too simple to be AI? What about random forest? Are deep neural nets the only model sophisticated enough to be “AI”? It’s not the model, it’s how you use it.
This could actually change performance though as the lambda version gives you a unique templace instantiation of std::transform while the non-lambda version requires std::transform to be inlined into the caller (or cloned to an argument-specific version) before the compiler can make any optimizations based on its knowledge of toupper.

Yes, for example in warehouse management. Most companies still use outdates apps on Windows ME.

The problem is that stakes are so high that nobody dares to change.

You cannot turn off a running warehouse for some days.

I believe datamigration is mostly where the opportunities are. Because then you can one day flip the switch and start working with new software while having the same 'state' of the old software.
