No I don't, in fact I think, as a woman, that it's the other way around. Either ways it doesn't matter as most charities are struggling. You can't just blame it on sexism.

Eh this essay is a bit off to me. The issue with modern US politics, or our politics in general I guess, is the tendency for two groups to emerge, one of which everyone generally has to belong to somehow.

Most people are pretty rational about most issues when you discuss them individually, but you end up with a few ''foundational''-- and unquestionable --ideas that people have to fall exactly on one side or the other. I won't name any specifically but I think everyone knows some of these immediately. So you have individually rational persons who have to congregate on either one side or the other, and these issues end up being the deciding factor of which group you must join, dividing many people who otherwise agree on a lot of stuff, perhaps without even realizing it..

It's pretty similar to religious fracturing to me now that I think about it. Groups who agree on everything except one or two ideas and that makes all the difference.

Very rare are the persons who fall heavily to one side of everything.

The white working class part of their coalition, which tends to more socially conservative, are not a focus of the party anymore. It used to be a bedrock part of their strategy in the Midwest. At least that is the perception - forget for a moment if a) it’s actually true, that they’ve dropped focus, or b) that voting block was ever a permanent part of that party’s coalition or merely on borrowed time.

This was important enough back then that some of the UI was implemented in kernel mode on NT-class operating systems, specifically in order to preserve that responsiveness. AIUI, Win9x did not have a complete user-mode/supervisor-mode distinction, but the UI code was written on a very low level and tightly coupled with the OS itself, for similar reasons.

I am saying not everyone is affected, only those who solely rely on wifi. Others have realized that a shared medium with questionable security is inherently unreliable and have other options at their disposal.
In my recollection that culture predated package managers for Node. When npm came around people on the official node IRC channel were already advocating tiny, single function modules. Those tiny packages on npm, albeit being weird, felt like a pretty organic culture thing. Not sure where that came from, I think it might have already been a thing for a subset of that community coming from other tech stacks at the time.

While the node stdlib isn't all-bolts-included, I wouldn't exactly call it tiny either. What are you missing? I kind of blame the community for moments of stupidity like that leftpad thing just to pick one, if somebody had added some great extensions to the string class before that happened it would have been some other tiny issue.
Cross-platform is more of an excuse than a reason. The idea is always that you write an app once, and it magically works on Windows and Mac and phones, and toaster ovens.

Except that never actually works, for anything but the lowest common denominator trash apps. Unfortunately people are convinced that this is something that should be pursued; the only real result is lowering the bar across the board and eroding compliance with long-established platform UX guidelines.

I've noticed this happening as well, but I guess every system is built on the affordances and cultural knowledge of the time it was built.

The original Macintosh (and Windows before 95) were built for people who were more or less familiar with computers already BUT who didn't know so much about the mouse, etc. (And even if the Mac might have been "easier to use" people wouldn't just jump into an expensive machine without knowing what they would be getting). Hence they would "handhold" more. Even the 1st iPhone was more user friendly (design wise) than the newer ones.

Now kids know how to swipe "intuitively" and design will seem less obvious (for people unaccustomed with it) with time.

The famous MLK speech on moderates: http://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.h...

> First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

This is the problem with the "intentional" moderates: their position isn't a coherent one, it's instead pure unwillingness to engage. I understand people being conflict-averse, but it can lead to being backed into a corner by the people who are not afraid of conflict.
I can think of 2 potential reasons but neither seems satisfying. The first would be state agencies testing attack vectors in real life. Would suck to send out an agent who commits their crime 100% flawlessly only for them to get caught by some unsecured doorbell or other random internet device. The second would be attempts to force increases in security through intentional hacks and sabotage.

Although if someone can think of better reasons I would love to hear it.

Ok, but this is not what I was getting at.

When PG says that the left and right are equally "wrong", he's suggesting that they are both trying to arrive at THE solution, but just taking different paths. I don't think this is fundamentally true and if you view political struggle from this perspective you're going to miss the full picture.
Swift is Apple garbage and there is no expectation it would run on anything outside of iOS.

Crystal not working on Windows indicates to me that are implemented the run time idiotically-- should have just reused the C and C++ run time & standard libs, as this would have given them portability from the get go.

Exposing Win API or .NET is unnecessary, just allow users to call into C code for that nonsense.
"the scientific method" is a somewhat nebulous concept in daily discussions, as evidenced by the guy above defining such that reproducibility is not part of it.

Personally, I would count reproducibility as a fairly important part of the scientific method, as it demonstrates you've achieved the fundamental requirement of understanding your experimental setup.

Without very detailed understanding of your experiment, the experiment isn't scientific, so by extension I would claim that the GP's "scientific method" isn't scientific.
That's the Reagan/Thatcher monetarism/neoliberal transition. Prior to that the conservative parties generally were small c conservative, seeking to preserve the status quo, make small adjustments with evidence, and make no change for change's sake.

As you can see, there are 13 months with 28 days and 1 day (on leap year this is 2 days). Now I'm a bit of a socialist in heart so that 1 day (or 2 on leap year) I would count as a month so we get 14 salaries. It's a win-win situation. Clean and simple.
This is part of a generalized development in Western politics though - it even explains why Brexit and Boris Johnson won in the UK. The "left" is now explicitly the party of managerial, globalizing crony capitalism, pushing for maximum openness and free mobility for all factors of production - not of the working classes with their petty, localized concerns, or of traditional "business" classes with their long-time appreciation for economic diversification and the value of free markets. Some people might want to map this to ethnic stereotypes of some sort, or posit that it's the outcome of some kind of intentional conspiracy, and of course this would be quite incorrect. Nonetheless the shift was very real.

To underline this. People have died starting eating after a long fast. While the risks are probably manageable, and other people have successfully been fasting a full year, do educate yourself on Refeeding syndrome before doing any extended fasts.

a) The NextStep UI you post seems nothing special compared to other Unix-es of the time (SGI IRIX, https://www.securitronlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/1..., and Sun Solaris and IBM AIX come to mind). I believe that these precede the NextStep.

b) The Windows 95 UI looks nothing like NextStep (or SGI IRIX and the other X Windows UIs of the time) to my eyes. In particular, they made a distinct move away from the drab grey look of all Unix UIs, which was a really welcome splash of color. I still find that grey look reminding me of my days in the Unix lab at college, and I find it hard to relate to the enthusiasm of Apple fans for the boring grey look of macOs, which is clearly a '70s Unix look!

They don't. Edit: Not in the sense that they're scrambled up. Party lines can be drawn differently, specific policies can be different. In the same sense, policies differ at different times in history, too. Edit II: I note your question presumes there are universal far right and far left attractors -- that's not anything I meant to imply.
I do see a difference, and the piece I quoted seems to me to be the latter: redefinition.

I say that, in part, because substituting those meanings changes the perceived message of the piece. If the rest of the essay reasonably supported that reading, I might well agree that this was interpretation, analysis, or even clarification. However, it seems as though the original comment is working backward from pg's identity to decide what opinions it's possible for him to have, in the commenter's view, and then covering the message of the essay (whatever you think of it) with one of the commenter's pg-possible opinions.

Personally, I'd prefer that commenters of this view argue against the essay directly, since I think there are a lot of things to say in that regard.
I started working remote from a farm at the foot of the Rockies 4 years ago and never looked back. During this time, I've watched the number of remote companies rise considerably.

Internet was expensive at first, but I could expense it so I didn't care. Now that Starlink is on the way, it really won't matter anymore.

The key is to work at a company that is REMOTE FIRST. If the remote team is in the minority, then you'll always be left out of the important discussions and decisions, and, ultimately, promotions.

Yes, it's a bit of a pain getting out to other places. But I'm perfectly happy to spend 90% of my time in nature, so I consider it an acceptable trade to have extra hassle 10% of the time.

PS: Think twice about an RV. I tried that route, and it's a big hassle having to move around all the time (because of California's tenancy laws, for example), it's a pain to find a place to park the thing, propane isn't always conveniently available, repairs are a pain, black/grey water is a pain, and a lot of places just aren't RV friendly. Also, RV parks just generally suck and have TERRIBLE wifi. If you DO go this route, get a 5th wheel so that you get the extra headroom, easier turns (IMPORTANT), and can drive the pickup to the store. You DON'T want to drive a 30ft coach around town!

Also, get an RV with one popout (more is just asking for shit to break), the kitchen in the back (otherwise it's always in the way), and NO island (it just gets in the way).

Also, don't go lower than a half-ton for your pulling vehicle. You'll thank me on the hills.

> Just because we cannot guarantee certainty or outcomes doesn't absolve us from the moral responsibility to try.

I think the point is that different people will try different things, often opposing each other.
It is indeed true - the extreme left and right (along with the religious extremists of any religion) all believe that they have the One True Solution, and have historically been ready to murder millions who they believe stood in the way.

So yes, both the extreme left and the extreme right are not only wrong, but morally repugnant.

The whole point of classical political liberalism is of how to get multiple incompatible ideas of what is the good life (broadly understood) to coexist peacefully. Without it there is only tyranny or chaos.
I'm Eastern European and I think that Netflix's adaptation is great. Sure, there wasn't such diversity in the series and the books setting as because of the middle ages of Rzeczpospolita, but anyway, the series are good.

I'm only speaking of IF, but yes. Multi-day fasts may be different, but I actually think best right after my workout during my IF window.
