I recently went ahead and purchased theyr3 full product line, because I figured there are several I would end up wanting to use and it was just cheaper that way. The reason I bought it though, was specifically for CLion. I figured having a full featured IDE would make it much easier to browse and understand large C or C++ projects, but sadly it seems to only support CMake projects.
Sure but there is a huge space for government intervention -- it could encourage the competition and level the playing field instead. Doctorow (for example) argues a better approach is to require things like open standards and interoperability.

There has been some friction between the two groups (tokio and async-std) unfortunately.

I'm not sure what the original source of friction was, but bad feelings seem to seep out when the projects are discussed in active Rust communities. I wonder how long the drama will go on. But at least both parties seem to be trying to be civil about it (and succeed).

You're making good points. I just think that whatever the funding trade-offs of search engines may be, there cannot be a solution that doesn't also rely on users discriminating based on usability.

If users choose Google today, it's either because of inertia or because they find that Google's organic search results are worth sifting through a page of ads.

This is unlike other aspects like privacy where users may not fully understand the consequences of their actions.

i’m like 60% sure that this is why nixOS was born at all: some very dedicated emacs or vim user got so fed up with moving configs around that they built an entire package manager/distro/thing to solve their config issue for all time.

I meant the "Zhaoxin's home-grown x86 CPU is completely designed from the ground up within China" CPUs, those AFAIK dont exist.

Lenovo Kaitian M6100/A6100 were real, powered by renamed VIA NANO chips. Taiwanese designed VIA Nano E-C4650 got rebadged and magically became homegrown Chinese ZX-C4650 design etc. Good old Pentium 3 Mobile AGTL+ Socket 479 bus circa 2001 vintage. https://wccftech.com/via-28nm-c4650-x86-quad-core-processor-...

Yes, the renamed original old school Centaur/VIA designs do exist, and perform at ~Intel Atom z8300 level. Good review by Chinese tech vlogger https://www.bilibili.com/video/av61782186/
The difference with Jim Sterling is that he is (was?) pretty explicitly reviewing those games. In the case of a livestreamer it's harder to argue that it is a review. Reviews are something we want protected, because they inform consumers. This makes them good for society. Livestreams tend to have a less direct path to "definitely good for society".
According to research[1], on average, men tend to be more utilitarian while women tend to be more expressive; so your examples seem to be in accordance with those differences. Social nature is quite nuanced, so any one particular variable cannot be used to totally explain everything.

PopcornTime.sh also works really well for streaming, you can even cast to your TV. Its convenience is seriously on-par with Netflix.
Its more you have a table like so:

ID VALUE CHANGED
1 1 date
2 2 date+n

etc...

Where you never actually update id 1 in place and setup views etc... to wrap over the table(s) that ignore the history.

I use this all the time in postgresql, you'd be shocked how often having the history of a specific entry getting updated comes in handy. Even for application logic (like, slow down, why is this one table getting updated 1000 times a second? lets reject updates for a bit cause something has gone haywire)

Highly recommend it, BUT if you implement it you need to also deal with the history accumulation. I just setup window functions to limit the history to N in size generally or setup some cleanup job to clean out really old entries at a certain point.

I don't work in healthcare but like the GP I consider UPDATE in place a generally bad idea as well. You can turn on audit logging but the issue with that is the logs are always in another place so nobody ever looks at it until they need to, and only then do you find out the audit logs weren't setup right/etc....

But yes just like functional programming, don't mutate in place, append immutable values to the end. Same idea.

Ya, I should probably: show by example, not dismiss Event Sourcing so readily, not get sucked into a No True Scotsman argument, or all the above.

Fowler's high level overview is https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html

Which doesn't cover the persistence, the actual data model. In particular, I disagree with the notion of a separate Audit Log.

More recently, on recent projects, anyone using a message queue or bus has called their goo Event Sourcing. Which is mostly just shuttling around analytics. Not modeling organizational behavior as events. Not considering how to design the event sinks (RDMBS tables).

I'm too late to comment, but my 2 cents:
As long as there's something important at stake people will try to hack the test. There's no way around that.

The best that can be done is to try to keep the correlation between the "test" and what it's trying to measure add high as possible and to teach everyone how to hack it, that way everyone is on a level play field. If everyone hacks it then the difference in scores will be mostly about what is being measured and not about who hacked it and who didn't.

That's why big companies actually advice interview candidates to practice on leetcode and give them example interview questions.

But I agree with the main point that being good only at "hacking tests" in life instead of being good at your profession is very bad.

The fundamental problem with the interpretation of this study is the same as with any study of big genomics data:

If your dataset it sufficiently large and the phenomena is sufficiently complex you can find myriads of tiny, valid yet uninteresting and ultimately irrelevant effects. It is simply about accuracy - take any genomic data and any visible observable phenotype of the population for the genomic data, if you don't find anything relevant it simply means your method is not yet accurate enough.

Will people that like to play pokemon have a genetic marker compared to those that do not? If you average it over hundred of millions of instances you might see a difference. Does it mean anything with respect to one single individual playing pokemon? No, many other factors will down out that contribution.

etc.

the same is with this study as well, of course every population will eventually develop its own markers unless are being constantly mixing randomly. Does it mean anything at all, beyond what we already know - that a population develops its own markers ...
I live in Indiana, and incorporated about 3 weeks ago. Took me about 20 minutes, and I've never done it before. I had to use a unique company name, and that check could only be done in the Indiana Secretary General's office. 3 days later, I receive an email of congratulations. The next day, I get my physical paperwork.

I was making a LLC, so it was pretty straightforward and no surprises.

Once the SecGen approved it, getting IRS numbers was a whole 5 minutes. I also wish to sell things on Kickstarter/Indiegogo, so I applied for indiana tax numbers as well. $20 for 2 years.
Many of those people who want to break up Google are not looking at it from the user perspective, but as a company running some website.

As a site owner you have the problem that people searching for you are using Google and your site will only come up below adds for your competitor. Even when searching for your company name. Thus unless you pay a "Google Tax" (paying for ads) many people won't find you. In some cases even Google themselves will add features to compete with your service (flight booking is a relatively recent example)

If splitting up will solve that is questionable to me, though. The search has to be financed and unless we make it some base service paid by tax or similar they need a revenue service and ads is the only which seems to be working.

From a "civil rights" perspective to me it is also clear that Google has too much influence and power. But still fail to see a good way to regulate that.
This is Zhaoxin press event photo.
1. barely

2. ads are placed and marked in such a way as to draw clicks over search results. that this is allowed is one thing, but it’s clear deception.

> Spend your focus on acquiring money for your kids leads to kids who want money from you.

I didn't say that that. And nothing wrong with kids who want money from their parents. It does not mean that they are worthless in their own right. I deal with many people (in what I do) who have very wealthy parents. And despite the stereotype they are not living off their parents but sure they take advantage of the things that money can buy. They are actually (the ones that I deal with) really nice people. Some of them have funded multiple startups and have well known names. I have been paid for what I do by their 'family offices'. But honestly they are really great people in how they operate (with me anyway). They don't appear to have the same 'dog eat dog' way of operating that some hard scrabble people have. This is all anecdotal but what I have found (and it surprised me). A few of them got into 'the good schools' as a result of money their parents gave to those schools (I am pretty sure).

Also what is particularly ironic in this entire thread and your comment is that everything revolves around the kids and not the parent and any of their needs.

Also ironic is the fact that the only reason that anyone is commenting in this thread is because the post was an essay by Paul Graham who surprise surprise 'is successful and has money'. And one of my points is what Paul can do for his kids because of the success and money that he has. Not to mention that people will listen to what he says as well and honestly drool over every single morsel of advice he gives as if it's more special in some way than what you say (as 'older guy') or what I say. [1]

> Spend your focus on giving love to your kids leads to kids who want love from you.

I dated a girl once whose father was a school teacher. He sat in the basement when he got home early from school and watched movies on the VCR. He watched so many movies that he wore the machines out (and as an 'older guy' you remember things were built pretty well, eh?). Anyway I remember her saying to me something like 'Honestly he gives us all the time and attention but I wish he made more money'. In short she kind of thought of his as a 'loser'. He was always there for the kids but was not able to provide a living that kept them up with their friends. (And keep in mind he had a solid job and wasn't an addict or criminal etc.).

[1] And you know this is the case. And it's not like he has some superior angle on parenting that he does on what he is an expert in. Right? It's just interesting because of his 'fame' with the other things that he has done.
Real life consequences (from comment #63):

> If the software is accurate at picking choices that match the set goals

> auditing of the results vs the desired outcomes

The core problem is this assumption that the goal is to prioritize accuracy. When making "life-changing decisions ... in areas from job applications to immigration", many different goals need to be balanced. Who gets to define what "desired outcome" means?

We already have a hard time simply defining those goals. How would you even begin to define a cost function for e.g. "immigration" decisions when simply bringing up the topic is one of the easier ways to start a heated political argument?

> then it would seem that: the software is doing its job and is 'blameless'

The software is doing exactly what it was told to do: find a particular signal in some set of data (without explicit race. The problem is we spent several hundred years systemically embedding race into most aspects of society, which becomes a minefields of problematic local minima/maxima traps for your ML algorithm.

Let's say we have an good ML algorithm that provides some sort of evaluation about job applicants. Nothing related to race is included. The algorithm is used by a company in Chicago[1][3] or D.C.[2][3] hoping to hire the "best" people. Segregated populations means different schools/etc. Even if you didn't give the algorithm race data, most ML is practically guaranteed to find one of the many ways to infer race. Unintentionally, the ML algorithm ends up doing something similar to redlining[4], because that's what is in the data: the systemic effects of historical racism that still reverberate through society.

I hate ad supported video with the power of 1000 suns, and it's not because of the ads themselves. It's because the ads stutter and skip and take twice as long to play as the content of the ad itself.

How can they fuck it up so bad? The ads are how you get paid, how is it that you don't prioritize playing the ad correctly? If I were a sponsor, I would be furious!

I tried to watch some movies on IMDBtv for instance, and I got through one and gave up a quarter through the second one.

I tend to agree but it probably went even beyond radio. Playing music has long been omnipresent in all sorts of venues and, as a result, there was a clear need for simple, low friction, centralized licensing.

Pre-VHS, as you say, there just wasn't the same casual consumption of video content--and, even then, it was mostly private consumption for a long time.

You even see differences between music and live theatre licensing. Music has mandatory mechanical licenses for cover. Whereas, with live theatre, a playwrite/copyright owner can refuse to allow a performance based on their work.
Kodi + Seren is another great option for streaming.

As the authors wrote in the discussion section, it is not very surprising that a combination of light physical activity and meditative mindset has general positive effects. However, you could probably obtain the same result by walking and reciting Goethe poems because what people in the west understand by yoga is not very far from that. Like the Taichi stuff. Nobody knows what they are doing, but at least it doesn't harm too much and, as noticed in the paper, it has some positive effects. Anyway, better than doing nothing.
Litres of spirits and hundreds of cigarettes is not a normal thing to pack on a trip.
There's nothing "standard" about async-std as of yet. The name is because it tries to build something that can be used just like std library facilities, except for the async support.
I dont think we all want to be things that are natural to be effective. People want pills to be magically effective. Antidepressants fail to outperform placebo once you remove publication bias, there is no first principle scientific basis for them working, yet they are massively prescribed and advocated for and the “chemical imbalance” myth repeated ad nauseum. Meanwhile, meditation and yoga get massively more skepticism because they’re not pills.

The biggest mistake of our current mental health zeitgeist is sharp skepticism of mindfulness and yoga while accepting the magic of pills on pure faith.

I can’t tell you how many times my use of very vanilla Emacs with zero jedi / autocomplete / search features has saved me in my career.

It’s so critical to use text editors for software development and extract all other functionality to separate shell tools.

If a mix of very simple vim or Emacs + grep / git grep / silver searcher + CLI tools for automatic linting, test cases, etc., isn’t efficient for you, and motivates you to bring all these things into one consolidated IDE, I urge you to consider that this is a type of bad code smell and bad workflow smell, the all-in-one IDE is not actually helping productivity but hurting it in the long run, and you should invest right away in the learning curve & barriers you perceive are blocking you from a purely shell command-line workflow that separates code management & search into isolated utilities in separate interfaces.

I do grant there are a very small number of use cases where the IDE approach is useful: helping students who are literally just starting out, helping developers with atypical accessibility constraints that can be assisted with the IDE, probably a few more.

But general code search, linter/test integration, and embedded features like autocomplete, pop-up signatures or docs, etc., are disastrously bad things hands down for regular development.

It’s such a shame that a whole generation of programmers are tricked into believing those things are good for them.

It reminds me of people tricked into becoming reliant on MATLAB or Jupyter notebooks, and then retroactively trying to defend those tools as productivity-enhancing when they are, from first principles, productivity destroyers.
