A question for you: I see the site mentions using Snowpack with Vue but there's no guide like there is for React. Can you point me at some sort of "getting started" guide, blog post, or example repo for using Snowpack with Vue?
It's very dangerous to sticking to one book. Because you don't know the field, you don't know which book is the best for you.

Different introductory books can organize the topics very differently. Some introductory books could miss the crucial explanation of the most important concepts.

Sometimes you can just find one single sentence in one book connects all the dots together, and you will be like: this sentence solved my so many questions, why didn't all the other books mention this?

Does the “Ad” company have more data on an individual versus the “privacy” company? Or does it actually depend on the user opting in to give this data to said company?
Software engineering isn't IT, and it isn't engineering, according to the know-it-alls (ok, probably different people), so what does that leave?

Fact remains, some organizations classify everyone as an IT specialist that does anything with a computer.
Highly disturbing that the court is allowed to request that much data without any legal restrictions [on privacy].

You've lost a nickel! It was a problem with my signed-offset branch function where a bad cast was allowing 0x80 (-128) to overflow. It was really fun trying to troubleshoot by hooking certain memory accesses and subroutines, but what wound up fixing it was investigating the crash of Blargg's `instr_test-v5/rom_singles/11-stack.nes`. Thank you for your help!
Things like this are why I think that as time goes on storing PII is going to be seen as a cost rather than a benefit to companies... It'll take several rounds of public outcry to shift the mindset though.
Correct. I wouldn't use the term "extrinsic value", though, because it only explains what I'm thinking to people already exposed to real option analysis.
Hi Steve, thanks for all you do for Rust!

It’s probably like eating animals. At one point there was little thought about it in terms of ethics for most civilizations, but then gradually things become fuzzy.

Although that being said, it’s interesting that definitions have such a huge impact. For example you can be an extreme vegan but also be okay with abortion (note I’m not anti abortion rights) just pointing out how a definition can affect human ethics among people who are very cautious about affecting living things.

I think that breaking down the concepts is also helpful for Tim, as well as anyone who's trying to wrestle with complex ideas, in addition to the audience. Making sure your concepts are well-defined and clear is key to building them into something greater. So many flawed ideas are flawed because they're built off of a shaky foundation. Unfortunately analyzing those foundational ideas critically is difficult. I've found that writing essays helps force you into doing the hard work, but it's very time consuming.

>the state can deputize any company to snitch on the digital ephemera that constitutes our daily lives

this is not true, but in the way that makes your point much, much worse.

In the US, case precedent is already set that digital data that you don't physically own is not yours. IANAL, but my understanding is that the standards for digital search-and-seizure are lower for cloud services, not equivalent or (god-forbid) higher.
Your speaking objectively about something that could not be more subjective...? Is part of it a status symbol? Yes of course. I dislike the rabid Apple fandom as much as the next person - but that does not detract from the fact that they have comparatively decent sound quality, a white colour-way that looks clean and distinct, are compact enough to carry in a very small pocket, all while staying affordable enough that the average first-world person could buy a pair.

You'd be surprised at the extent hype influences decision making when it comes to choosing which language to use (even in companies you mentioned), at a significant cost down the line.

> Wrong opinions are held more weakly than right opinions. I find this fascinating because it means there's some information that would not be revealed without the bees challenging each other.

This seems to be an emergent effect of a system where every individual scout explicitly communicates a degree of confidence, and the rest of the system can trust the degree of confidence expressed by its individuals so that noise in the actual signal (a scout bee mis-evaluating the quality of a potential home) can be smoothed out a larger number of inputs.

That sounds a lot like the one-armed bandit for A/B testing!

That's an interesting comparison to modern human society, where you can't at all trust how confident someone sounds, because everyone has learned to game that system.

First, both H.264 and H.265 are standards only. They are not encoders. And their reference encoder are not meant to be used for anything other than testing Encoding Models, which is different to AV1.

So you need to talk about their respective encoder ( e.g x264 and x265 ) and bitrate. For example, if you are doing 2K to 4K encoding in Sub 3Mbps. x265 will win hands down. Especially for Anime.

Things started to get blurry once you are doing doing Higher Bitrate per Pixel. For Example. 4Mbps for 720 or 1080P, a year ago ( or may be closer to 2 years now ) there are titles that x264 will still win against x265. The same goes for 10+Mbps range for 4K. But x265 has improved a lot, so I am not sure if that is still the case.

And Beamr 5 [1] is a H.265 encoder that does wonder at low bitrate. In short, encoder matter.

> I want to keep a healthy planet so that conscious beings, and especially humans, can continue enjoying it

I think this is the key point that needs to get marketed. The 'save the planet' works well for people with holistic view of things but we need to get the other 50% (or whatever as I made that ratio up) on board. And I think pushing a message like 'dont let polluters ruin your lifestyle' message would be more effective for the unconvinced portion of the world. Turn the message back to something personal and micro rather than 'the planet is doomed' type messaging.

Agree. It's really, really to hide the fact that you're an asshole/selfish bad actor in an interview. It's also surprisingly difficult to gauge someone's skill for a job; just look at any HN thread on how to do interviews. A personal reference from a known entity goes a long way.

Right. But I suppose the thing is under it is conveniently (for the prosecution) consolidated under one company's umbrella, so I don't think it totally invalidates OP's point. What about companies such as Proton Mail? Would they just hand over all their data? I don't know. Honestly asking.
Ah I had forgotten about the term "hegemony", thanks for reminding me! I will use "hegemony" in the future instead of "base culture". At a surface level it seems to be a term that accurately conveys what I meant by "base culture", but will have much wider recognition than some term I invented.

And rereading your original comment in the context of this comment, I think I understand your point better. When one uses the term "judeo-christian culture" they imply multiple things, some of which are incorrect:

1. That the collective systems of the US operated under a single shared system of beliefs. I would have referred to that as "culture", but perhaps the better term is "hegemony".

2. That most individuals in the collective "liked", or rather "personally subscribed", or rather had a culture compatible with that single hegemony.

You are arguing that point 2 is incorrect. There have always been many cultures present in the US, but due to Judeo-Christian hegemony, those other cultures expression was suppressed and the "Judeo-Christian" hegemony was all that presented. Users of the term "Judeo-Christian culture" are not recognizing that many members of the "Judeo-Christian" hegemony were only participating in the hegemony because they _had to_, not because they _wanted to_.

On your other point:

> Article author and grandparent are conflating political participation/power with demographics and trying to map complex multi-dimensional political realities onto a two-dimensional liberal/conservative lime

I think you are mostly right about this; however I think that within the right wing, demographics, culture, and politics are largely intertwined. I think those demographics, culture, and politics are largely the ones that were traditionally present under Judeo-christian hegemony.

So, refactoring my points under my new understanding, I think:

1. We both agree that the US had a Judeo-christian hegemony (perhaps there is a better name needed).

2. We both agree that the right wing is descended from that Judeo-christian hegemony.

3. We disagree to the degree that various Americans' cultures across history were compatible with the hegemony or were suppressed by the hegemony.

4. We likely disagree on whether a [edit: replaced "the" with "a" here] hegemony is good or bad.

On 4), I get the sense that argument will be rather boring. On 3), I would love to get some references to material that studies this. I do not particularly care if the material has a left or right bias, as learning those perspectives would be interesting itself.
I realize that didn’t expect to be taken so literally.
It'd be pretty cool to use this as part of an assistance tool for people with visual impairments.

For what it's worth, I have a Garmin 645 smartwatch, which uses a transflective display; the user experience is about the same as e-ink. I love it. The "white" is kinda silver-grey, but it's perfectly functional, and I get a week's battery life. As a former Pebble owner, I think the trend toward smartwatches with OLED displays and short battery life is a terrible one.

> And? That's just a particular choice of tool.

It wasn't a choice, it was literally the only method we had available.

> I do the same thing when I'm working on a particularly tough problem; I might try five or ten different approaches before finding one with the right combination of advantages and trade-offs.

But I bet you don't do it by a process of natural selection, setting criteria and evolving solutions through an at-best semi-guided generally-black-box process that you don't really understand, and where you're only able to understand a portion of the full complexity of the results.

> That's engineering.

No, that's outcomes. Engineering would be understanding the tradeoffs in advance and choosing them with consideration of the outcomes. Not only do we not understand the tradeoffs in advance, we're also not able select them reliably. If we have that ability now via breeding (not that I'm aware of, but I'm no expert on breeding technology) then we've only had it for a very short time relative to how long we've been doing this.

It's more than 3 years after the original AirPod launch so all your conjecture about modern knock off products is irrelevant. In the years after AirPods were launched, Samsung, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google all tried to replicate the AirPods at the time and wound up priced higher than the AirPods. Samsung, Google, and Amazon in particular are notorious for launching "As good as Apple but cheaper" products with lower margins... yet they weren't able to be price competitive at the time.
Increased funding tends to depend on success with what is being spent. Spending more over the past two decades would have been throwing good money after bad, so it is good it wasn't spent. Stewards of that spending have demonstrated their foolishness, year in and year out.

The difficulty now is how to wrench control of such spending out of the hands of those who squandered it. Probably the American and maybe European agencies will find themselves unable, being fully captured.
It's a sad day when such obvious corruption ceases to be surprising.

>Merkel's decision ignored the truly extraordinary circumstances of the Fukushima disaster, which was triggered by an earthquake and tsunami that, each individually, exceeded the design parameters of the reactor, which was 40 years old at the time of the disaster. Updated studies indicated the reactor was vulnerable to tsunami, but were ignored.

And that wasn't the only case, there were evidence it was the maintenance wasn't done properly. But no one was willing to admit it. Better to let the public think Nuclear is not safe rather than admitting to our own mistakes.

I kept thinking, had that reactor withstand that tsunami, would the world have turn around and built newer, better Nuclear Reactor.
