Yes. Healthcare doesn't need another middleman Jacking up the prices.

The extreme wealth tax, will only push extremely wealthy people out of the US and the middle class will suffer once again.

I also don't believe the tax increases only on millionaires and the total you are showing for healthcare is much less than half of what's actually projected.

Bernie already said that most people will be getting tax increases.

He's also taxing Wallstreet, which will only reduce the 401ks and retirement funds of the middle class.

Economic destruction, so everyone is on a shittier playing field is his end goal and really the only end result of extreme Socialist policies.
I talk to Japanese workers in various domestic and foreign firms operating in Japan almost every day. Consensus on this topic seems to be that the Japanese approach is favoured in times where goals are clearly understood and agreed upon. In such circumstances Japan's superlative skills in quality, incremental improvement, planning and harmonious group-work will come to the fore.

At other times, including perhaps these last 2-3 decades, it is more valuable to try and mostly fail in the interest of discovery. The Long Tail, above the Bell Curve. At such times as these Japan generally just holds and waits. For instance, the Edo period lasted 250 years, with very little change. Meanwhile, from 1600, Europe and the New World were changing like gangbusters.

>> I think we should look at it 50 years later...

Fifty years is a fairly long time to make predictions, but I'd argue that you'll only see Japan having re-emerged as leader in 2070, should a clear new order have already become apparent. If not, they'll certainly still be waiting patiently with serious intent.

Pretty sure I tried out LMMS, but don't recall anything specifically. The main ones I looked at and stuck with for a while were Ardour, Rosegarden, plus Audacity which is more of a sound editor. Just found out on this very thread about Non, which looks promising, so that's one I'm going to try next.

I want to say the main problems are: having to set up Jack and switch between that and PA - why isn't there one sound system? - the whole USB midi routing situation, software with obscure UIs, and software that crashes. Apart from the first one these are all fairly easily solvable.

These days I mostly write stuff using synths. The Deluge for example has enough built in that you don't need to use a DAW at all.

If the state affects multiple views, the views should be a function of that state.

The point of reactive UI is to not deal with events that affect data that affect presentation. Instead, you construct "presentation" every time the data changes, and the framework makes sure to reflect that in an optimal way.

So after trialing a few of the "audio-centric" distro-flavours I couldn't find any that were particularly compelling (most, Ubuntu Studio included, were installing huge quantities of tools that I was never likely to explore).

Sort your data. Store it somewhere and then later add more unsorted data.
If Mike Pall is to be believed, dynamic languages do better with specialized environments, which is why he thought LuaJIT 2 was a better strategy than Lua on the JVM or LLVM. SBCL may or may not incorporate similar optimizations, but it's definitely built to handle Lispy weirdness from the ground up.

There was briefly an attempt by Raphael Amiard to compile Clojure to Lua, which could also test this theory, but it was never completed and I doubt anyone else feels like doing that much work for free:

No offense, but that's a toy problem that's hard to generalize to actual issues we see in our code.

I never understood this "they sell our data" argument against Google. They track us all, they profile us in all imaginable ways, but they are guarding these data jealously as it's their most important asset. Selling access to our data is an inaccurate description, they sell profiled ads in a way that you as the buyer never contact the end user directly, Google is always the middleperson.

A different consideration: maybe there exists a relationship between intelligence and "less tolerance for bulls..t". This explains why I know some really smart people who did not succeed in their academic careers even though they were highly intelligent. I consider it as highly plausible that you need an even higher tolerance for bulls..t if you want to become rich.

Jim Keller Interview – AI Podcast

Absolutely; I dealt with addiction issues some years back and I was allowed to take 6 months -- at full pay -- to sort everything out. People higher on the income scale often have more access to treatment and better safety nets to be able to make it stick. Addiction is largely a nuisance for the wealthy rather than an existential threat.

I fortunately have never been arrested, but from my peers who have the troubling trend is that if you can afford a good lawyer, the DA will almost immediately plead your felony down to a misdemeanor with no jail time attached. Rich people are far less likely to suffer consequences, even if they're caught because the justice system isn't built to deal with defendants who can fight their case.

The only divide in the US that matters right now is the wealth gap.
Anonymous View
There are a ton of attributes in the HTML that dictates how the website should render - it has a bgcolor and a margin on the body tag, a width and height on the main table, center tags all over the place, etc. Suggesting that a browser should ignore the HTML spec and do something else would completely destroy the web.

I wrote up my thoughts here on https://www.simplecto.com/building-own-screenshot-as-a-servi...

But the gist of it is this: It is 2020 and our CPU, storage, and bandwidth is so powerful and cheap. How does that affect our perception of scaling? How far can we push a single server before "scale" becomes and issue?

This is where I publicly experiment with those ideas.

From my perspective, I'd say it's because there isn't much talk about Ada as a technology. It comes up a lot when Rust is discussed, but I never see details besides built-in ranges for numbers. I can't even remember ever hearing anything much about the library/tooling Ada ecosystem.

Also, Ada users seem to be more focused on technical content about safety/mission critical things, like this discussion. But this is a meta-area where no specific features or solutions are in focus. When there's a discussion about zero-copy parsing, compiler optimizations, platform support, scalability or any other everyday technical topic, noone knowing Ada seems to join in with their perspective and experience.

So my advice to the Ada community would be to talk more details, talk more about what you love. Tech is a big field and it's currently a lot of work to get to know Ada from the outside.

Apple really let the ball down with the lousy keyboard, and in the old and tired Apple style, refused to acknowledge the problem and fix it with urgency (or support well the customers who complained about keyboard issues). And then the huge misstep with the Mac Pro and years of delays. Add the lack of updates or news about the Mac mini for several years. All this while, Apple was shamelessly selling old hardware for the same prices as when they launched those! Even now Apple sells several notebooks with the bad keyboards!

Then we have Catalina, Catalyst apps, the breakup of iTunes that’s turned out to be messier.

Except for iPhone hardware and wearables, Apple has failed to demonstrate innovation, honesty, integrity and responsibility in other areas.

The Six Colors Apple Report Card for 2019 [1] provides some scathing feedback from some well known names who live, breathe and talk Apple. It’s mild in some places, but never have so many people from this background been so critical on so many things (as I recall).

When I was a kid, my computer could only display 8 colors, as it had 1 bit each if R,G,B. I used to wonder about brown and orange in particular as colors that were not available. I figured orange must just be an unequal mix or red and green, but I couldn't even speculate about brown. Today when you mention it, it makes sense to me that these 2 colors are related.
> I’m curious about how they make use of their knowledge of multiple accounts. In Chrome and the Gmail app they definitely understand that these x accounts belong to the same person, and I imagine there’s some kind of Uber-profile on me.

At the beginning they actively discouraged these, but in the end they gave up and make multiple personal profiles supported. Of course the have our uber-profile, after all, I situations where multiple Gmail accounts in one phone are shared by different people must be extremely rare. So I guess they embraced it and try to learn more about the user by analyzing how these different accounts are used.
Q: What's brown and sticky?

A: A stick!
Well pink actually is not just light red but mixed with blue, as mentioned in the OP video as well, a mix of two ends of the visible spectrum.
More folks need to read "The Millionaire Next Door." I read it in my early 20's and it was an eye opener. Becoming "rich" (upper middle class, single digit millions, don't have to worry about working, not "billionaire" rich) is more of a matter of living below your means, saving, and investing consistently.

You can take luck out of the equation if you have time. Unfortunately most people are too old before they realize this (if ever)...
Reaper and Live have spoiled me. I tried to like Ardour, and it would be great if it's all I had, but it has too many rough edges.

LMMS is good though. I must have made 200+ songs in it before switching to Reaper. I could get by with LMMS and the included synths if I had to. It makes me wish Reaper supported LV2.
I installed it on one computer, and no problems (other than the freeze during install that so many people had). However, that’s ignoring this question:

> I didn’t even have to debate too much whether I should upgrade or not. The answer is no. The reasoning behind it is quite simple, actually, and it boils down to this: what Catalina takes away from me is more than what it gives me.

And that seems to be the case for me, even though I have no Catalina problems. Lost MS Office 2011 on that machine. Gained... I can’t think of a single thing off the top of my head.

Thus, wish I hadn’t upgraded.
Gotcha, I have used Studio but in my case I havent wired up my Piano / Keyboard. I mostly use LMMS cause I dont have space for my Keyboard, and cause it's a free rendition of FL Studio which I love to be honest. I dont do a whole lot though, just things here and there.

Good to know your side on it though. I think that might be the best thing till someone streamlines some of these libraries / programs is to focus on a Distro that makes it as seamless as possible, and push the fixes back to the original projects.

Although the old design isn't exactly perfect either - as soon as the browser window is a bit too narrow the site basically breaks completely, from not properly displaying posted pictures or videos anymore, up to making text smaller when zooming in or moving the whole site content sideways out of the frame if you type a long comment without linebreaks.

Ah, the Parable of the Dagger. Most people wouldn't be surprised if, when looking into a shed with word "S * * T" written on it in large letters, they'd see a shovel, a garden rake, a couple of empty buckets, and a broken wheelbarrow but no feces. Yet, write "This shed is full of manure. The previous sentence and this sentence either are both true, or both false" on the shed, and they apparently will be surprised to find garden tools inside.
I agree about the high end market always being there. Makers like MB&F are essentially making kinetic sculptures that you wear.

At the lower end of the market, Apple alone makes something like $35 billion on watches from nothing a decade ago.

Mid-tier makers like Rolex haven't been able to meet demand for a decade now.

I think a lot of the smaller manufacturers will go away. There's something like 500 watch companies in Switzerland alone and I'm guessing most of those don't have much of a future.

The answer depends a lot on your terminology.

I would say that unit tests should always be as repeatable as possible, which means no randomization. But I would ALSO say that you should prefer property tests over unit tests whenever it's feasible to do so, and fuzzing with random input is one of the defining features of property tests.

Others consider property tests to be a special class of unit test, which, given that pretty much all tests these days are written and run using a framework with "unit" in the name, is also reasonable terminology.

As for why to use property tests: In a nutshell, because achieving sufficient coverage with unit tests alone is infeasible. One of the unstated assumptions of a primarily unit test oriented strategy is that devs are so on their game that they can just reliably think up all the boundary cases, all on their own, in order to achieve good test coverage. I'd argue that assuming everyone is just that good isn't too far off from assuming everyone is so good that you really don't need tests at all.

To the irreproducibility argument: Any property test framework will hunt for a minimum failing input and then print it out in the test failure report, so that you can then use to construct a unit test. From there, it's up to the developer to be disciplined, just like it always is. And some particularly clever ones, like Python's Hypothesis, will automatically (locally) remember failing cases and run them first.

People with the highest levels of intelligence are generally autistic.

In my area of the world, all the software companies are terrible. The quality of the staff and the quality of the software are both terrible. This really doesn't just apply to software, it applies to everything. Cars before Tesla were so bad at everything. It is clear all these companies don't have particularly good staff in high positions.

I don't know about car companies, but in terms of the software companies here, the process goes like this:

1. A manager in a particular industry commissions the building of software to solve a problem in that industry

2. The manager has a lot of industry knowledge due to their position and the time they have spent in the industry

3. The software is made, a company is then spun out of that software

4. The founder doesn't really even know much about software. As they were a manager, they were more about social connections and people

5. They hire more social people

There is nothing in this process that relates to intelligence. The intelligent person could theoretically create much better software, but they have no industry knowledge, and can't even get hired because they are not social.
