I feel as though if you just want a static website, you're better to use one of the more mature frameworks designed for that purpose, like Ruby on Rails or Asp.net Core etc.

I worked on a project built with Nuxt about a about a year ago and I really didn't like it. Everything felt like a chore.

Yeah but cutting stock compensation doesn't really do much for you anyway since it's not real in the sense that it's not an operating expense; it's not cash. The equity is conjured up and pre-allocated meaning the cost to business is in the dilution at grant time.

You could make an argument that either:

A) The company should issue more equity to pay for furloughed/laid off workers

B) The company should reallocate equity from executives to the furloughed workers. This may not be possible for a host of legal reasons, tbh, so I'm not sure it's actually possible.
I only use SSR for `bot` or for `?ssr=true` in dev mode.
My setup is that, SSG most of the time, with fallback to SSR for bot/crawlers, else return the spa.html which is just a SPA.
This. US has not seen empty shelves since great depression and I am not sure many Americans understand what it means to an 'average' person living here.

UBI means nothing when value comes from things that people want.
Is there really any doubt that 80 IQ people are represented less than 110 IQ people in industries like medicine, law, or engineering?

If there's really no correlation in SAT scores, I wager that says more about that test than it does about IQ.
> The fact that it's at some point impossible to disambiguate information. If you have 50.000 pages of everyone's cat it'd be borderline impossible to find general information that is relevant to a public audience. It's the same reason I can't go to the public library and put random writings of me on a shelf, there needs to be a level of curation so that the content isn't being bogged down by what is mostly going to be noise.

If this were true, there would be the same problem with the internet, since we don't have notability limitations for who can build a webpage. But the fact is, search is a pretty well-developed field. A very simple metric is simply: how many places is this linked from. These can come up higher in search results, be prioritized higher in disambiguation pages, etc. Start with that, and refine from there. Notability is a sorting problem, not a filtering problem.

> The article brings up a page for each pokemon say, and if you have countless of pokemon all with similar names to other real-world stuff everyone who doesn't care about the pokemon will have to wade through links and pages of irrelevant content, it'd quickly turn into a huge digital garbage dump.

You're wrong in your own examples. Sorry buddy, but if someone searches for "Bulbasaur", is there some more notable thing you think they are looking for besides the Pokemon?

> Also not to mention that Wikipedia wants to provide a reasonable level of accuracy and factfulness, and nobody can independently verify personal content or topics so niche that only one person knows what's going on.

Which is a great case for a verifiability guideline, not a notability guideline.

> I don't know why someone really would want wikipedia to turn into a website for in-universe fiction or people's personal content.

"Must be nonfiction", "must be verifiable", etc. are all different requirements from "must be notable".

Paul O'Neill died recently (not COVID-19 related). I don't have many business heroes. O'Neill was one of the them. (Andrew Grove is the other.)

Here's how O'Neill turned ALCOA around when he took it over in the 80s:

A few minutes before noon, O'Neill took the stage. He was fifty-one years old, trim, and dressed in gray pinstripes and a red power tie. His hair was white and his posture military straight. He bounced up the steps and smiled warmly. He looked dignified, solid, confident. Like a chief executive.

Then he opened his mouth.

"I want to talk to you about worker safety," he said. "Every year, numerous Alcoa workers are injured so badly that they miss a day of work. Our safety record is better than the general American workforce, especially considering that our employees work with metals that are 1500 degrees and machines that can rip a man's arm off. But it's not good enough. I intend to make Alcoa the safest company in America. I intend to go for zero injuries."

The audience was confused. These meetings usually followed a predictable script: A new CEO would start with an introduction, make a faux self-deprecating joke--something about how he slept his way through Harvard Business School--then promise to boost profits and lower costs. Next would come an excoriation of taxes, business regulations, and sometimes, with a fervor that suggested firsthand experience in divorce court, lawyers. Finally, the speech would end with a blizzard of buzzwords--"synergy," "rightsizing," and "co-opetition"--at which point everyone could return to their offices, reassured that capitalism was safe for another day.

O'Neill hadn't said anything about profits. He didn't mention taxes. There was no talk of "using alignment to achieve a win-win synergistic market advantage." For all anyone in the audience knew, given his talk of worker safety, O'Neill might be pro-regulation. Or, worse, a Democrat. It was a terrifying prospect.

...

Within a year of O'Neill's speech, Alcoa's profits would hit a record high.

Here's an extended excerpt from Charles Duhigg's book, The Power of Habit: http://txti.es/duhigg-keystone-habits

Imagine a president who came out in February, even early March, with a message like that. Imagine our response had been organized around that message:

"I intend to keep all Americans safe, rich and poor, old and young. I intend to go for zero deaths."
you've got the value chain backwards. money isn't printed and then that magically becomes the value of the economy. the money supply is managed so as to try to match the decentralized and organic value created by us in the economy.

that causal chain limits how much money can be printed without adverse effects (and at the extreme, economic and political collapse). if we generate ~$1T/mo of value, printing a couple billion extra here or there gets drowned out in the estimation error of the size of our value creation. we print an extra $1T/mo and we have start to have serious problems.

so money is not limitless. it's bounded by our collective product.
Seriously, is this an April Fools' joke?
That sounds like a fairly weak argument, because IP protections still apply to open source, except for trade secrets. The degree of protection is dictated by a project's license, or if in the absence of a license then a nation's default copyright status.

In your first ReactOS example from 2006 it wasn't even Microsoft that discovered or claimed the problematic code violation. It doesn't look like Microsoft was involved at all.

My view is that GitLab is more prone to feature creep. They have a lot of innovative features, but because of the number of features, most of them really only feel 90% or 95% of the way there. GitHub chooses a smaller number of features, but they feel more polished.

I don't think the feature creep is all bad. Sometimes the new features are amazingly useful, if not totally polished. It depends on what you need, and sometimes you need features that only GitLab has.
Well played, autocorrect.

IQ seems to be more predictive at the low end than the high end. Someone with an IQ of 60 is handicapped. Someone with an IQ of 100 is normal. Above 100 the differences start to vanish into noise due to loads of other confounding factors and random chance.

I have taken several tests in my life. They have all shown above average but the differences have varied wildly from 120 all the way up to 160 or something. That is a crazy variance and really makes me feel like the high numbers are hand wavey BS.

The same is true of lots of other biological metrics. Very high cholesterol can indicate a problem. From the normal range down it's not predictive of much unless it is absurdly low. Low IQ probably indicates a neurological problem. Normal and above is... normal.

The "IQ cult" is bullshit. It seems like compensatory narcissism to me, like people who are fairly intelligent trying to clutch IQ because they are not in fact super successful. They are trying to rationalize the fact that high IQ does not automatically translate to better outcomes and many other factors dominate once your IQ hits the normal range.

The IQ cult is also deeply anti-intellectual. It neglects the value of ideas entirely. Who would you bet on? A person with a normal 100 IQ with sane rational beliefs and habits of thought or a person with a really high score whose mind is full of loony garbage? Having a big engine in the car doesn't mean anything if the driver is bad. Some of the nuttiest people I have ever met would undoubtedly get a high IQ score.

You can see a good A/B experiment on IQ vs ideas by searching for photos of North and South Korea from space. There is basically no genetic difference at all there. The difference is 100% ideas.

My personal observation is that in the realm of neurological factors motivation and focus are more important in terms of outcome than IQ beyond the normal range. I would definitely be tempted to exchange some IQ points for the dopamine system that super successful people seem to have.
> “OK, let's assume some clever people wrote this, I wonder what the pressures were that made them come out with that solution."

Pressure from everyone to get something shipped and out-the-door - never-mind the technical debt - and after it ships management is only interested in further growth fuelled by more features - deepening the technical debt.

As for the problem of Apache keeling over too easily - that’s because Apache (at the time - and I think still now) is based on “one thread per HTTP request” - or one thread per connection. Asynchronous (or rather: coroutine-based) request handling was very esoteric in the late-1990s and early-2000s - and required fundamentally different program architecture - no-one was going to rewrite their CGI programs to do that - and Perl script based applications couldn’t do anything at all. Asynchronous HTTP request handling only really became mainstream when NodeJS started getting popular about 7-8 years ago - but, to my knowledge, besides ASP.NET Core - no other web application platform treats asynchronous request handling as a first-class feature.
Because, contrary to the constant anti-America sentiments shared across social media, the US remains one of the best places to live in the world.

You're not going to see a massive influx of doctors leaving Switzerland, Germany or the UK to come to the US because those countries are all very similar quality of life.

However, the world is bigger than handful of Western European nations which are gleefully looking down their noses at Trump-era America, and there are literally billions of intelligent, hard working, educated people across Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe who would see their lives improve in every way by moving to the US.

Zoom uses a proprietary gnome API / hack to do it I believe. It works on Gnome only. Note that with pipewire, wayland screensharing already works on Chrome/Firefox (for all of the video chat apps), and it will come to electron eventually. I imagine in a year or two screensharing on wayland will become seamless for most things.

Yeah this seems close to the philosophy of no side effects for functional languages. It's neat and has some nifty benefits for your code but for the 1% of situations where you need side effects/client-side rendering, you're gonna end up fighting the tool rather than enjoying it.
Am I missing something or did the definition of static website change? AFAIK a static site is one that has no backend and you can throw on S3 or whatever. An ASP.NET project is pretty much the absolute furthest you can get from a static website.
Many are bemoaning what zoom will do with Keybase, but the code is bad licensed so nothing’s stopping anyone from forking the repos now and building a parallel distro.

Realistically this is probably the best outcome for the Keybase team as they presumably have jobs for the foreseeable future.
> convert actual money into fun bucks

What is more 'fun'? USD in bank account, USD as cash, DAO, or gold? I would think those are monotonically decreasing in 'fun'-ness. "Actual" money is not a good word for printable items of arbitrary scarcity. Not arguing for or against GP, just saying.
I don't know whether they really could. It's not just an issue of matching ads, it's also an issue of having relevant ads.

I use adblock by default, so I have no ad-profile at Adsense that they'd use to show me "relevant ads". When I occasionally have to debug some issue with ads somewhere, I'm essentially getting the context-sensitive, not-personalized ads, and they're terrible. At least to me they look as if they were using very simple keyword-matches with little regard to context and primary language. It may be that they don't care to invest more, but it may also be that they don't have enough ad buyers that care for unpersonalized ads so they simply don't have a large pool they can choose from.

I'm also not sure that "cookie-free" would be enough, really. If you're loading ads directly from Google, the user makes the request and can therefore be tracked by Google. Even with Google Analytics and anonymizeIp, at least in the medical sector in Germany, GA is considered opt-in only. In that sense, I'm not sure a central service that delivers ads for you can work without requiring consent.

What very much should work would be a server-side system that's sale/lead-based, where the service would crawl your site, manage your affiliate programs and create ads for you that you'd then insert into your site. That way, no third party learns anything about the individual user and you don't require consent.

I don't know anything about Taleb's personal politics. Care to give any specific examples of these policies?
You have a point re: vindictiveness and pettiness. I clicked the link and immediately scrolled into the article failing to notice the author. After about 30 seconds I had the following reaction, “wait! Is this Taleb?” Despite the severe flaws in his prose, he makes some points that I think are worth considering. The chief one is that it’s kind of dumb to attempt a measure of total mental capacity. At best it will result in gross over generalization of the individual’s potential. So what’s the point if not to serve as a means for separating people into developmental tracks as early as possible. Put another way, IQ is simply another way people get evaluated not as individuals but as cogs in the machine. I rather like this critique of IQ and I’m appreciative for Taleb bringing it up (though I doubt he’s the first).
I'm not Arathorn (and not even a Matrix user yet, barely ever on Signal too), but the problem with bridges to 3rd-parties is that you're effectively allowing these non-Matrix users to keep doing what they're doing, instead of incentivising them to switch. The walled gardens know this very well - that's why they've discontinued their XMPP gateways.
I struggle with this a lot, and am super aware that I do this. It's NEVER my intention to make someone feel stupid, but I think the way I say things comes across that way.

I have a hard time correcting it, or even knowing what / how to say things differently upon reflection.

My current iteration of figuring this out is maybe things I think are important to criticize (or give my 2 cents on) aren't as important as I think they are.

It's tough.
So is there a list somewhere to see if we were affected?

There are a lot of posts complaining about Taleb's tone. I find it refreshing. Too often are statistics and stupid measurements applied to give a veneer of quantitative rigor to stupid ideas or ineffective systems.

If a manager ranked you based on a statistic of your lines of code produced per day, you would rightly be derisive. It turns out that such stupid quantification infects a great deal of society, especially the sciences.

There are many examples of statistical phenomena that starkly illustrate how subtle and counterintuitive probability can be: by no means a transparent and straightforward subject. Think of Monty Hall or Simpson's paradox. Taleb is just pointing out more sophisticated traps of probability that plague amateurs, and most of us who apply statistics are amateurs.

Why is he so mad? He hates it when stupid ideas are granted importance because of nonsense statistics, especially when they have consequences for people and society as a whole. I hope Taleb never stops being mad.
That's exactly what I took from it too.

I think you'll struggle to find any place without a few datacenters nearby, at least in a neighboring country. Of course it's going to be a bit further away if you're in central Africa.

Even then, you can colocate in a datacenter anywhere you want, have equipment delivered there and pay remote hands to install it for you for a very reasonable fee.

Of course this doesn't make sense if you just want a small webserver, but that's not who we are talking about here.

Important thing to keep in mind regarding UBI is that goverment does not generate any money. In order for goverment to give money, it needs to take it from someone.

So UBI is just proxy for wealth redistribution. Sure, wellbeing has improved for small group of people, but the question is how scalable UBI is? Remember, road to hell is paved with good intentions.
It's what made the rounds in dev circles where I worked. The technician would have still to upgrade/re-install the OS, and to prevent the perceived rip-off with the knipper to be noticed and make the customer feel bad, I think they also discussed that the technician should do some theater job such as walking in with a packaged CPU upgrade kit so that the upgrade took at least 2 hours. It was not a rip-off, as the 5000 had, like all CPUs, a costly upfront development investment. Idk but the reason why some ND-500 -> 5000 upgrades may have come with real silicon while others only need the knippers job is maybe that once the 5000 CPU was produced in quantities, the 500 that were still sold were equipped with 5000 CPUs from that point on, to save an expensive CMOS production line. Even IBM, by around 1990 at the latest, produced all their non-X86 CPUs (for P-Series aka RS/6000, I-Series aka AS/400, and Z-Series aka S/390) off the same silicon.
It can be used in proprietary software. You shouldn't, because that's unethical, but the MPL isn't a strong copyleft. And even with strong copylefts, there are only three that I can think of that apply to software that won't end up on user devices.
Docs are a great way to overview. You never know what the actual implementation is doing and I find that having actual hands on experience helps me solidify the knowledge into relatable experience.

If you don't care why, read the docs. If you want to understand HOW, read the code.
> IQ is one of the few actually, and maybe THE most robust and measurable dimensions in humans that psychology has come up with.

How did you come to that conclusion? That feels like a claim that would be pretty difficult to defend.

I think you have far more of an uphill climb to justify that the wealthy/poor divide is largely correlated to intelligence, rather than social systems that advantage/disadvantage certain classes of people or one's access to certain privileges (prior wealth, access to education, etc.)

This is kind of silly. The author has reduced the number of mutations per entry by a factor of up to 4. That's why contention is reduced (less M(O)ESI eviction of shared lines). It happens to be that this problem is amenable to that kind of computation but it isn't always the case.
Not my field, but security would clearly be a greater issue for repos held in a publicly accessible site vs those only accessible over a VPN.

Sure, dogfooding is good, but commercially sensitive repos would seemingly - to my naive view - be better on private servers?
Two thoughts.

Firstly if that's his point, his conclusion should match. Saying there is "no correlation" is a reach.

Secondly, I'm not convinced I even believe that point. So is he saying that if I took an IQ test from nobel prize winners they would be equally distributed to a normal population sample (assuming a 100 minimum cutoff)?

Read the article. This is his point about circularity this is literally one of his examples. If IQ measures test taking acumen and there are fields that are gate kept with tests, you will see a correlation with IQ.
