Don’t believe the hype that you are hearing from Extinction Rebellion
While people will take this as a sign of progress, I think realistically people with downs or other significant handicaps were a much greater burden on society in the past, and I think our current attitude of acceptance has more to do with our increased ability to care for such people.

As cruel as it seems to us now, if you're struggling to survive and there's no social safety net, infanticide or child abandonment start to become much more attractive options in comparison with being burdened by taking care of a dysfunctional human for the rest of your life.
As a father of 4 year old twins, all I can say is that you have described my life. We also bought a fixer upper when our kids were about 2 years old. I have nothing to contribute other than an upvote, and a plan to read through the comments in this thread.

Life is hard. I feel beat down and depressed a lot. I would also love some words of wisdom. All I can contribute to this discuss is that I can relate.

My kids (and I’m sure yours) are such amazing people. I love them so much. But I fear I have lost the ability to care about or love myself. We do finally have a great house to raise them in after many nights of back breaking labor done after coding all day.

I know so many people have it so much harder than me. Which makes it feel wrong to feel so broken. But there it is. I’ll probably delete this post out of shame but if you read it maybe you’ll know you’re not alone.
Matching 3% to 5% of pay is common. Matching 50% of all contributions is not, and is far above the median, therefore I would consider a 50% match on contributions to be special. To get a similar 401k match in federal, you’d have to make almost $200k, whereas Microsoft is not restricting it by income.
Friday: Further Thought – Backslidden People
It's apparently a Terry Pratchett quote: "The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it."

A sixteen-year-old newsgroup poster explains it as follows:

> Sorry to disagree, but I thought the quote worked extremely well the first
time and on further reflection, still do. I think it's very apt and I would
hesitate to say that perhaps you didn't see the intended purpose on first
reading.

> Terry talks about the crowd as a creature, therefore implying one single IQ.
So, to use your own methods, let's say a crowd of 100 people would have an
IQ of 10 - not each, but altogether. Each person would have an IQ of 0.1
if you wanted to break it down, although to do so would be completely
counter-productive, because we are talking about a crowd and not a single
person. Once you start talking about single people, they are no longer part
of the crowd and their IQ would revert to normal status. The crowd is a
whole, and the description provides a picture of it being a single organism
with one purpose (to imply the fervour that people get swept up in, in
crowds, e.g. race riots, Paedophile lynchings, vigilantes that one person
would not do)

> I think the purpose behind the description was to provide the metaphor of a
crowd being a big, dumb, violent animal composed of intelligent, reasoning
people - a sort of paraphrase on "the sum is greater than the parts".

As an aside, I find it amazing that I was able to go from a paraphrased description of a quote to an in depth discussion of the accuracy of the quote with suggestions for alternative functions. Despite all its flaws, the hacks upon hacks upon hacks we call the internet is incredible when you step back and consider it all.
Similarly curious.

Yep. Just beat a human 1v1 half the time. No AI can do it - none I've seen.
I keep coming back to from the board and CEO's perspective they have a choice, spend a lot of their time and effort to gain market share by investing in their own company. Or acquiring it through an acquisition.

Seems like an acquisition is a lot less hassle and risk. And can be done quickly. Most 'problems' can be made to go away by throwing money and fixers at them.
While I’ve not personally used it, I’m happy with 1Password Teams, bitwarden has a pretty well received project. If you want self hosted teams, though, you will need to purchase a license (it’s one of their money makers, and I think that is completely fair). Most of their product is otherwise open, afaik.
Yes, and our societies when talking about sex differences in the brain usually assume male brains to be normal, and female brains to be different or in some way deficient.
You can definitely filter out the worst customers by raising prices, the bottom of any market is usually a cesspit. I suspect the very top is as well although I haven't any experience of that.
Depends on what you define as basic, but that price point was always the absolute top of the high end for PCs (albeit not for e.g. UNIX workstations).

In my first job (in 2001) some expensive piece of equipment was controlled by a compaq deskpro 386 with a proprietary ISA card + some hardware dongle that only worked on old computers running DOS (wouldn't work on Win9x DOS).

My boss at the time told me they spent $10k on that computer alone when they bought it in the 80s but that replacing the equipment it was controlling would cost upwards of a million $, so we had to keep that old PC alive.

You’re not really doing any flexing in that example, though, so I’m not sure why you would need flexbox at all there. If you start using the justification options then unfortunately things get more difficult.
The explanations are good, but there's quite a gaping hole when you don't include any "flex-*" properties.
It sounds like a very good idea! However, on Linux in Firefox as well as in Chrome the UI (helix) doesn't seem to be very responsive, i.e. the slider is jittering making it feel very sluggish. Is that a bug? However, I see multiple cores being utilized. Same on mobile...

I don't really buy the template argument. Think declarative layouts such as QML, React, etc. are there for a reason...

Why focus that much on mjs? Wouldn't you use Typescript anyway? i.e. you still have source map (beside I never had problems with source maps)
Not specifically targeted at Jews...

Oh good, I was not the only one.

I did not read the article or comments yet and still do not know what this is about so it will be a surprise.

My guess: someone found, in a cache made in a kitchen in Miami, a book with Jewish recipes (food) written in an "encypted" way so that they stay secret. The recipes date back to 13th century.

It sounds like the title of a Cluedo game.

Then at the very least, you should be able to simulate a biological brain, neuron by neuron, and get an intelligent computer that way. If you agree that's possible, you also have to consider whether it's the most efficient approach -- plausibly special algorithms could be invented that get the same intelligence at a fraction of the computing power.

What to Submit

Did you mean to say “less valuable” in your question? Because if you didn’t, well we can study recent history to get an answer because we’ve already built that society.

What complicates the picture though is that these lying/cheating/bullshitting financiers work some of the most hours in society. It’s a weird new phenomenon where the very richest and the very poorest are all working very long work weeks.

The poorest are cleaners, care workers, and teachers though, and then there’s these rich people pulling off scams, losing money and contributing nothing of value, yet still getting paid a shitload.

I’m reading “Liar’s Poker” now, and man it is awful learning the anti-social attitudes of these workplaces and knowing that this book then became something that further promulgated those attitudes.

I have not read all the books on this list, but I would add The Drunkard’s Walk (How Randomness Rules Our Lives) to great books related to thinking about thinking. It breaks down how probability actually works in the real world in an easily understandable way. And how our intuition about the world is, generally, woefully off the mark.
My girlfriend and I are raising my sister after my parents passed away. It‘s a whole different set of experience, because she started living with us when she was 15. That was 2 years ago. (I‘m 33, my girlfriend is 39)

And you realize that it‘s difficult to deal with someone who grew up differently. I left our parents house when my sister was 5. My girlfriend grew up completely different. And then you have a teenager, who, besides the fact that having a teenager is a whole different story, also doesn‘t share your mindset at all, because you didn‘t raise her.

Our time is running up. My gf is turning 40 next year, and we don‘t have kids on our own. After these years (I think my sister will move out in the next 24 months, as she turns 18 next year), we are not sure if we want to have kids at all.

It‘s difficult.
Dad of three kids + two dependents.
One child special needs, no other income to dependent on.
No degree, started in field at a late age after having two children.

First off, if I can find time anyone can.

I’ll be blunt. Sounds like you just don’t want to do it.

When you want to do something I mean you Really want to do something it will get done. Otherwise it requires discipline. Simple as that. No shame in saying you rather spend time with your family then work on a project.
An alternative to Bartender?
One problem here is that you brought up IQ, which is a garbage metric. Different populations have adapted to different environments. Maybe some groups are better at certain types of mental activities such as rotating a 2 dimensional image in their head, but the groups that are worse at those tasks are better at other things that you're just not measuring. Humans intelligence is many dimensional, and IQ is a one dimensional quality that is biased to certain facets of intelligence.

As for your end of the bell curve comment, COMPENSATION might push to 50:1 at the ends of the bell curve as people get into bidding wars for the top tier talent, but the actual spread of ability is the same at the tails as it is near the mean.
Thanks for making the code public, but since it's the first time I see something like this, I don't see why you shouldn't slap a $5 price tag on it on the Appstore :)
Well, all societies are bound to collapse, and that's probably one reason. More tactically, the wealthy are often polite, non-violent, and spend a lot of money in their near vicinity, and this serves to completely insulate them from the social/emotional effects of how they acquired the money. Nasty looks, shunning, or the threat of it, goes a long way toward enforcing social norms.

Another issue is the often jaw-dropping cynicism of a business world so obsessed with doing things, that any concern with how they are done is totally ignored. It's a world in which "cheating" loses its meaning; anyone who is incensed at unethical, or even illegal (but not enforced) behavior is a naive rube. Ultimately, I think this happens because of a catastrophic failure of the justice system.
At a regular (bi)monthly/quarterly OSM meetup we were joined by representatives from 2 or 3 local municipalities. It seems they might be interested in unification to reduce costs, but I didn't ask for details.

Thanks for this comment. My kids range from 8 to 3 and as I see the changes slowly creeping into our life’s (the occasional evening dinner or even weekend trips) the majority is a constant schedule. Getting up at 6am. Getting them ready for daycare and school (we have no longer time for a shared breakfast ever since my oldest is in school). The getting the younger ones to the daycare and head off to work. Here I get a relaxing morning as most others start two to three hours later. Then at five sharp going home and play with the kids and have dinner. After that the going to bed routine starts which can be, depending on the kids mood and of course oneself mood either be easy going or a terror ritual. I love the former ones. After all kids are in bed my partner and I have time for us. Or do we? There is of course the house and preparations for the next day etc. and the next morning the whole thing starts all over again.
OK boomer. Enjoy reading about grandma recipes for 20 minutes while being jebaited by the title.
It's interesting that all the positive Google Translate experiences shared here have to do with Chinese and Japanese. In general, my experience with translations of European languages has been abysmal, for anything but the simplest expressions. The resulting expressions are often so ungrammatical that they were basically unintelligible.

I remember a Greek taxi driver who picked me up for a long trip, and seeing the distance, initially assumed I was going to the airport - and asked about it, prompting a flurry of No no nos from me and pointing on a map. He later tried to use Google translate to explain why he had assumed this (Greek to English) , but what came out was so garbled I only understood that he was saying something about distance and airport, prompting another confused flurry of map pointing (he abandoned the hope of explaining the initial confusiom and resigned to just driving...) . It was only minutes later, trying to think about what had happened, that I finally puzzled out what that translation must have meant.
I have had multiple time uninstalling a snap that installed its own X stack. And discover that it had been swapped for the whole OS to use this one.

No more graphical stack.

This happened to me with not only X. It seems to me that installing is tested. Removing is not. It was also badly documented last time i checked.

Happened with discord last time.
This year I read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman and absolutely loved it. I was surprised this list did not contain it.

Yes, I make it to compile on both platforms from time to time. The current commit should compile using MSVC, gcc, and clang I believe. I'm happy to fix any issues if you find them :-)
I agree with that - "let's build (n+1) library' that nobody will care about later is not very effective :)
I’d wager that many don’t find it less satisfying, and maybe even more so, if only for the reason that solving an issue for a customer comes with the benefit of immediately and clearly improving the life of someone else. Solving curiosity-sating programming challenges doesn’t have the same social implication built in. Personally, I’d muuuuch rather work on a mundane problem that immediately improves someone’s day than an issue that is in and of itself more interesting, but also lacking the clear customer/user demand.

This isn’t to say that solving beat programming challenges doesn’t improve anyone’s day, but the demand for the solution isn’t being made public and clear, which many people see as a necessary requirement for meaningful work.
Is it possible to make such a thing working if using command-line programs such as curl or wget to download a file rather than opening it in the web browser?
Are you also assuming the datacenter is free too, or are you planning to keep this in a closet? I hope you have HVAC too. And who is going to monitor this hardware? Who is going to assemble it? And sure the components are under warranty, but what happens when it breaks? Do you need to keep hot spares, or are you happy to wait for a replacement to be shipped out? I'm assuming you know instantly what the problem is too? Compare with the cloud version where you can have a new instance up and running in seconds.

I don't know about you, but I can remember the situation 15 years ago as a new startup where a problem with a server meant driving to the datacenter. I can tell you, paying more for a EC2 instance was the definition of a no-brainer.
> something that could plausibly have been done using the university's resources

Yeah, but parent here states that even if an employee wasn't using any employer's resources, the rights are still belong to the latter. Which is a whole other level of insanity.

On an unrelated note, university owning any work of a student, regardless on how it was done (unless it was explicitly contracted with the uni), is also pretty grim, but this is probably US thing.
Could be that he used a czech ICE train operating the Prague-Berlin line over Dresden. This is mostly on time and serves good czech food. I wouldn't recommend eating on German trains as foreigner. Germans have similar food standards as British, the lowest end of the food chain. EDIT: Bavaria is different though. They actually have a different food tradition, more towards the more civilised countries Austria, Czech, Italy.

This looks like a light version of the Vanilla app [1] but free and open source.

Also, a clever solution to hide the unused icons!

The harsh reality is that most software, no matter whether it's open source or closed, never makes it big. Take a stroll through an app store on iPhone-- or better yet, on Android! just to see how many apps there. You'll find hundreds of flashlight apps, calendar apps, and so on.
Buggy, abandoned software is hardly unique to open source.

Then there is the argument that "open source isn't innovative." This seems like a really tired argument. Most software of any kind can be painted as just a mere modification or variation on something that someone once wrote in the past. We've had almost a century of software, after all. I also like the links to late-90s and 2000-era websites saying that Linux will never be innovative. The only way this could be better is if we could create a deep fake of Steve Ballmer saying it onstage.

But wait! Tensorflow is open source, so we can't use that, clearly. Financial deficiency disease and all. Luckily, I'm willing to make a special enterprise edition for this guy, at a modest charge.

I lost a paragraph above. There was supposed to be a final version of the balancing behaviour that considered not just item counts but space used and flex behaviour for each item, adjusting breaks over the whole flex container in a similar way to Knuth-Plass justification of a text paragraph. There was also an observation that this made the layout algorithm much more complicated and might be going too far down the rabbit hole. :-)
Thanks, that's fascinating
I've been in the same situation multiple times. I don't recall a case where the data was of critical importance, so I could get away with it, but using the parts of the passphrase I knew in a combined bruteforce/dictionary attack definitely crossed my mind.

Do you have some links to reference material on how to achieve that?
I just have to chime in.

My daughter is almost three years.

I am a small business owner (half a million in revenue).

My girlfriend (we’re together since our teens and both in our 30ties) and I decided she’ll stay home until our daughter is ready for school (when she is 4 years).

The pregnancy was complicated and birth became an emergency c-section.

The moment our daughter was delivered I felt nothing less than absolute all encompassing love. I am sure we had it relatively easy once the pregnancy was over as our baby was a happy bundle of joy that slept well and didn’t cry a lot.

It brought me so much focus in my life, all that is not important I can’t any longer tolerate, this goes professionally as well, it has become a proxy for doing the important things right and a source of love, joy and wonder.

For me becoming a parent has been magical from the get go.
But the person I’m responding to is clearly built this way, and is just dealing with lack of interest in their day job. You’ve got a completely separate set of issues going on regarding caring for other humans. I wish you well.
Interesting. It looks like the paperwork would be a lot easier if you obtain a degree in Germany, which is probably a good thing to do in any case.
That's a derogative term though. Jewish term is anusim.
I was 40% wrong but the read was interesting.

The part about dishes being too eggy when done with today's eggs is a sign of times.

I also read a bit recently about kushrut after listening on a Jewish radio in France a discussion about whether a Jew can have a coffee in a in a bar (in France). The dissecting of the various components of the act (coffee, water, milk, the kind of cup,...) was fascinating.
