I like that Dan acknowledges that he sometimes get ridiculed for his ideas, but continues to post whatever is on his mind. I think that's admirable, because he might be occasionally very right despite the opprobrium of the world. I sometimes feel that my generation (Millenials and younger) are super cagey and obscure their real views because of a fear of censure.
For me (and at least one other commenter in this thread), the issue occurs when plugged into an external monitor. The linked thread seems to indicate the same. Any thoughts on that? I'll check the relevant setting.
Maybe a warning like on a cigarette pack could help? e.g. "spending more than 15% of your income on a car can lead to a financial ruin". Warning on cigarettes reduced smoking by a few percent.
I live in europe, so it may be different here/there.

The cars here in ads are shown as very cheap (but zero extras). Want cruise control? 300eur. Want powered back windows? 200eur. This? 500eur. That? 300eur.

So a car with a price of 12.000eur is 15.000 just after the basic necessities for a comfortable ride (without heated seats, adaptive cruise control, sunroof etc). Automatic transmissions are usually the most expensive 'extra' here.

All those things are usually covered by warranty (~5years for most).

And most cars here need oil replacement ("service done") every 15.000, 20.000 or even 30.000 kilometers (a bit under 10k miles a bit under 20k miles). I dont't know why americans like changing oil so much. I had an old hyundai last 320.000km that way (service every 20.000), until it was too rusty to fix (engine running without issues).
They are not Angular-specific, but they are required to know. That undeniably increases the learning curve. And the Observable pattern is decoupled from Angular change detection, so spaghetti coders can find themselves in especially confusing situations. I say this as someone who loves RxJS and typescript.

I know what veganism is but it's promoted by its followers as healthy when in reality it's based on dogma.

Anyone can choose what diet they want. Vegetarianism is just as good but it seems to be too tame for some people. It strikes me that many follow veganism merely as one-up-manship, posturing, or due to intimidation.

Not to disprove my original point about how affordable the NHS is compared to my Made in America insurance, but the £7k is only the employee side, the employers also pay a bit (though much less), but a common benefit of most employers is private insurance on top of national insurance.

If my math is correct, employer + employee national health fee for £140k salaried employee is a few quid short of £10k which is still half of my annual health care expense, so my original point still stands.
Sure, I totally agree, I think the realistic outcome is that we see a trend in more fields towards the 'rockstars' and 'pro players' but instead of having them behind gatekeepers (teams, agents, etc.) they're on platforms
I got so used to checking the background first that when I saw http://whichfaceisreal.com/realimages/47361.jpeg my mind immediately told me that this one is fake.

It only took me a while to notice that this is an actual human face in the background, just photographed from a peculiar angle and bearing a peculiar expression - not a neural network artifact.
Progressive photos always irritate me. The photo comes on my screen all blurry and out of focus and I'm disappointed that the moment I thought I had captured didn't turn out. Then, 3 seconds later, the picture changes and gets slightly better. Then I'm hopeful, but disappointed again. Then i think, "maybe it's not loaded yet", so i wait and hope. Then 2 seconds later it changes again. Is it done? Is it loaded now? Will it get better? Is my computer just dog slow? How long should I wait before I assume it's as good as it's going to get?

I know it's a small thing and doesn't really matter, but I don't like progressive photos.

Edit: This is just one context. There are plenty of other contexts where progressive is very useful.
One item that the author didn't touch on was internet connection. I would imagine that streaming with a 4k camera, even with codecs and compression and stuff that i know little about, would both take a decent sized upload pipe as well as no capping on uploaded data.

Oh, thank you :)

What I see is this.

When I bought a car in 2010 I had no problem finding a small car (industry reeling from 2008.)

In 2018 I went car shopping and found that both Asian and American car dealers had no small cars in stock (the usual state w/ American car dealers) and all sorts of excuses why they didn't.

Right after that they will point you a whole bunch of trucks and SUVs all in a row, all with deep discounts.

Looking at this, I'd conclude that car dealers want to sell big cars, not that people want to buy them.

(A retired ag economics professor I knew bought the $70k corvette that the chevy dealer had for show for $35k at the peak of the 2008 crisis.)

When I can buy a new car for (pick a number) $20,000, or a 3 year old car with a lot more luxury features for the same price why would I buy new. Thus the frugal are mostly not in the new market, and so nobody is buying the bottom line cars. (exception: businesses who run on a different model). What is left are those who are willing to pay for a new car. Since I win in this model I'm not going to complain - my cars are new enough to last for 10 more years (as opposed to 13) an cost half as much up front.
It's weird, my girlfriend works for a water board (keeping our feet dry, the fish wet and crops & nature just wet enough), the have this too.

Who buys a new board if they don't have to? Madness. I choose my equipment carefully, it has to match my style. Standing on some clever foam out in the middle of the ocean is tricky and very personal.

I wouldn't say it's part of the culture, it's just being normal. I don't upgrade my PC to stay on trend. I don't upgrade my surfboard to stay on trend. They are tools.
After two mornings of standing in near-freezing drizzle waiting for a bus that I hope I can get a seat on, I don't agree. The reasons I take the bus are that my commute is actually faster (yay Exclusive Bus Lane!) and a lot cheaper ($13.60/day, which wouldn't even cover the toll for me to drive).
From expat and smuggled reports, there's about several dozen dead bodies on the streets and in crashed vehicles around central Wuhan. On the whole, that's not very many compared to having the population of NYC. There would probably be a similar number in an average day in NYC, but the coroners are reportedly too afraid and/or also under curfew to pick up the bodies.

Roughly 100 million people are locked down as of writing.

The number of infected and dead in Western media should be multiplied by the viewer by about 2x-10x to get a current number because of a) undercounting and b) the long delays in receiving information.

Interestingly, several large, multi-thousand bed, world-class, negative air-pressure hospital/triage facilities were built in about a week.

Having transitioned to management some time ago, it wouldn't surprise me that a humble developer might be under-rating themselves.

Once I got my hands off the keyboard, it became pretty clear that the best person for the job was very situational, and that my opinion was often wrong. The technically smartest and most capable person was often the worst choice for many tasks.

One of my best DBA team members was a guy with a history degree with almost no understanding or interest in basic crap like CAP theory, normalization tradeoffs, etc. He was honestly terrible at design.

He was consistently, though, a 10x type resource for production performance problems. But thought of himself as barely qualified for the team because he was a 0.6x resource for many other tasks. I'd hire him every time.

The report you cite from the tax policy center indicates that 30% of variation in school funding is still within-state between districts, so I'm not sure why they feel comfortable asserting that "spending levels across districts have converged". The authors also point out that district-level funding analyses gloss over large spending disparities between schools within districts.
It's not even arguable. I mean, think about, say, databases. I've worked with people who have far deeper knowledge about them than I ever will. A few old timers working at Oracle know more about database keys than anyone else ever will, and that expertise is necessary to build a modern system.

And that's just one thing, databases. There are way more technologies out there. Even building my metal coffee cup requires deep expertise in metallurgy, manufacturing, industrial design, product design, supply chains, etc. etc. etc.

I think it's past the point for a single human brain to retain all knowledge about databases, unless they're a profound genius (don't underestimate how much there is to know), and that is one tiny thing that humans do.

> Patagonia, North Face, Black Diamond and Arcteryx all began as brands that catered specifically to the needs of climbers and alpinists, but now sell primarily to yuppies.

They may sell a subset of their product to yuppies, but you can still outfit yourself for just about any outdoor pursuit with these companies and trust the gear they sell. TNF and BD tents are still high quality, TNF and BD and Patagonia jackets can be used on any trip. And Arcteryx is some of the highest quality cold weather clothing in the world. I would probably only prefer Western Mountaineering or Hilleberg to a combination of products from these 4 manufacturers. BD probably makes more money on selling headlamps to anglers and hunters than they do on yuppies buying climbing pants.

The brands are nowhere near the lowend lifestyle fashion grab-bags that Oakley, Hurley, Quiksilver or O'Neill are...

If you value money, then the optimal strategy is to always buy a new reputable car, and drive the ones you own into the ground. As long as you have at least 1 person in the household who doesn’t NEED a car every single day, then if the old one breaks down and needs to be trashed, you have time to shop for a new one.

Works out well if you have kids and a set of grandparents living with or near you, as the in laws are retired and they can serve as a redundancy for vehicles, babysitting, and if they have a separate home nearby, a spare home for emergencies.

Nope Bluetooth is ok during a flight.. from the FAA:
> Passengers will eventually be able to read e-books, play games, and watch videos on their devices during all phases of flight, with very limited exceptions. Electronic items, books and magazines, must be held or put in the seat back pocket during the actual takeoff and landing roll. Cell phones should be in airplane mode or with cellular service disabled – i.e., no signal bars displayed—and cannot be used for voice communications based on FCC regulations that prohibit any airborne calls using cell phones. If your air carrier provides Wi-Fi service during flight, you may use those services. You can also continue to use short-range Bluetooth accessories, like wireless keyboards.

I agree with you 100% here. I have been working in Angular for a long time and feel like I have a pretty strong understanding on how it works. Like you, I will not build another app with Angular (or any framework for that matter). I don't think I encountered as many bugs as you have, but I have spent too much time trying to figure out how to do it the Angular way or the RxJS way. With modules, web components, promises, and async/await, I feel like you can now write very clean code with just JS. So, that is what I am going to do going forward.
> Code should live in your head. You shouldn't need intellisense to see that a property doesn't exist in an object.

That may be well and good for you, but not everyone's brain works like that. My brain is more GPU than CPU: I don't deal well with holding lots of disparate pieces of information in working memory, but I can quickly look at a problem and see many solutions as routes of data through black boxes, and determine what pipes need to plumb to where.

Why should I waste time and neural cycles on code "living" (e.g. interpreting state) in my head, when I have a perfectly good "head" for it right in front of me? Types? Linter? Formatting? That's wasted focus that could be going towards cybernetics, architecture, API ergonomics, and performance.

Before IDEs, I had a tight loop of write code, run it in repl, squash bugs, repeat. Productivity skyrocketed once I started using Spyder/codeblocks, then once again in Pycharm/Clion, and then once again when I started using type hints in python. I just started using TabNine and it's like finally I feel like my code can keep up with my brain.

I don't think so. How would the manufacturer be liable for a failure due to a repair made by someone else? Has there ever been an incident of such a case?
Glad I don't need a car. One less thing to worry about.
I haven't encountered anything in the last 20 years by Honda or Toyota that wasn't dependable, regardless of price point. Specifically on tire pressure sensors, I never had an issue with my 02 Acura CL (owned 2006-2016), and have not yet had issues with my 09 Pilot (owned 2016-present).
I think by definition if you have to take a loan out to buy your car then you can't afford it. The only reason I would ever take a loan out on a car would be if it were at 0% interest and even then it would be such a small amount of gain as to not be worth the mental effort.
I don't know the real statistics, but typically buying a 10 year old Camry is rolling a 100-sided dice and unless you roll a 1 or a 2, you're fine. You just had a particularly unlucky roll.

For most people, over a lifetime of buying cars (say 60 years) buying the $15k car (at today's prices) every 5 years vs $30k new car every 5 years will save them $180k. You can replace a lot of computer systems with the savings (ignoring even more savings with insurance, etc.)

> I don't see any such limitation in using io_uring to deliver IO requests to the block layer.

You can already have asynchronous IO from userspace to the block layer via linux-aio and O_DIRECT. But the VFS remains synchronous, so both uring and userspace can effectively only use a thread pool to work around that. Or magic.
>immature state

Human nature IS an immature state. It’s our uncivilized base instinct. So yes.
I don't think the point of consumerism is to separate humans from their wealth. You could do that easily and more effectively with many other organizational structures. Look at "communist" dictatorships, or feudalism, or isolated tribes that have no means of trade; their general population is very poor and shut out from what wealth the land generates or has the potential to generate.

The point of consumerism is to act as a motivator for the working class to keep working. Once you have that plentiful food and safe & warm hut, assuming that's all there is to aspire to, it would be very tempting to stay home from work on Fridays.
Airplane mode has two reasons. One reason is because at one point your cell radio risked doing unpleasant things to cellular ground stations, and another reason being that the FAA wanted you to pay attention to your safety demonstration.

What does China have to do with any of this?
To add my own anecdote: I've never paid more than $3k for a car. Worst case that has occurred so far is that my most recent one threw a rod less than a year after owning it and I had to spend another $2.5k on replacing the engine. So now I'm $5k down, but that's still a hell of a lot better off than $10-$15k let alone $50k or whatever the fuck insane price new cars are these days.
The problem is, that it's hard to find an otherwise good phone with a jack. Want good photos, lots of storage, fast cpu, and a good screen? You need a flagship phone. Want security updates for stuff like this now? You're either stuck with Pixel phones or Samsung galaxy S? ones (or iphones)... pixel doesnt have one anymore, galaxy s20 is rumored it wont have one, and iphones don't have one.
Humans judge humans based on habitus and appearance. Being a salesperson requires charm. I don't see what the scandal is here.

> Anyone that signs up, of their own free will, for a seven year loan on a depreciating asset has rocks in their head. For fucks sake.

Whether this is good or not is completely dependent on the loan interest rate, a person's cash flow situation, and what they will do with the free cash flow otherwise..

$50-100/mo saved due to lower 7y payments reinvested elsewhere could quite feasibly offset the higher cost associated with the (assumed) higher interest rate of the 7y loan.

And, according to the assumptions in financial/economic theory anyway, if you can get a loan at or below inflation rates, you're getting a 'discount' on the total price w/r/t paying 100% cash now

But yes, this should be made as a 'financing' decision, not an 'affordability' decision - if you can only afford the vehicle with 7y loan at all, and aren't taking the longer loan as an savings/investment decision among weighing the TCO you probably should be buying a cheaper one.
