I don't think it's fair to lump Twitter in with Facebook. Sure, if your feed isn't curated or you're looking at the replies to a Trump tweet, it's going to be a dumpster fire. But otherwise it can be a tool for keeping people informed without having to rely on the news.

It does require a critical eye, which the majority of people don't have, but I'm not sure what the best way to solve that problem is. Moderation at that scale doesn't seem feasible, and a downvote system to silence people, as you suggested, would be easily abused.
It doesn't matter how many sanctions you pile on top of each other, if you don't have a proper fab there ins't much you can do about it but plan for 15 or 20 years, shower a shitload of money on it and maybe you have something technologically capable, but you won't have a market like TSMC so good luck making it economically viable.

In most countries your average consumer can't buy a subpar CPU for 400$.

In Israel, some people with technological army background or academic background, use Hebrew terms for CS. In the industry though (especially in the startup scene) English terms are more commonly used. There is a hybrid of English terms with Hebrew morphology. For example: "To merge" becomes "Le-marge-ge" (למרג׳ג׳) even though there is a Hebrew word for this action "Le-mazeg" (למזג). But as far as I'm aware studies for BCS are done mostly in Hebrew.

Most people in first world countries are well above the subsistence level, and much of what they spend their money on isn't useful. It does, however, improve their quality of life. Clothes are no better or worse than my own hobbies, and I suspect, yours.
On paper Windows is good. In practice the telemetry and the story behind its introduction and how they handled communication means that I won't consider Windows as a primary OS candidate until there's a CEO change at least.

It's disappointing to see so many being ignorant about this topic.
I have issues with Sleep and Displays on my macbook, and I had to pay extra for the privilege of having windows snap to the sides, easily the best innovation in window managers since being able to put them over one another.
Denmark, among others I assume. Using your laptop, without external monitor and keyboard is only allowed as an exception, even when working from home, and only for a short period of time.

You can use the laptop monitor as a secondary display. It's a pretty good law, which forces employers to provide you with an ergonomically sound work environment. You're also required to have a height adjustable desk and chair... and a window.

Oh, they do know. And they do dogfood. We only have 70 employees. IT doesn’t program though.

Also, in my experience, many people just don’t care. I understand, too. It’s just easier this way. Not caring is great for your mental health.

If most of your colleagues feel the state of things is tolerable, nothing will change.

I'm not convinced of this. We could easily have used software to procedurally generate outfits from a selection of components since the 1980s. Why hasn't this already happened?
Wait. My intuition says that the mass of ice cannot possibly have a gravitational influence on nearby water big enough to create the effects described. Back of envelope calculation: surface area of Antarctica is on the order of 10M km^2, with an average thickness of 1 km (a high estimate), means 10M km^3 of ice; some further calculations from volume to mass multiply out to 10^19 kg of ice. (Note that we're assuming that 1kg of ice is 1 cubic deciliter, as with liquid water; this is definitely wrong but let's go with it since this is just an order-of-magnitude estimate). The mass of the Earth is on the order of 10^24 kg, so this is 10^-5 of the mass of the earth.

Can you get really get 50m of local displacement from 10^-5 Earth masses?
Most places will not test you because if you know you have been exposed you are expected to self-quarantine for 14 days regardless. Almost all testing centers require that you have symptoms.

Most States have not and are not going to implement contact tracing, so what is the point?

The latest CDC mortality rate is .26% which is comparable to a bad flu.

81% of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States are people over 65 years old. If you are under 55 the death rate is currently around 0.0022%, or one death per 45,000 people. If you are under 25 years old the fatality rate of COVID-19 is 0.00008%, or roughly one in 1.25 million.

Hundreds of thousands of people are out in the streets "protesting." I don't think your friend needs to worry about spreading the virus unless he plans to visit his grandparents or others seniors.

The hard part is I don't think we hear harmony the same way.

The way we hear music, what makes sense about music, is a function of the music we've listened to in our culture as we have matured. I don't think we can really ever cross that gap. And it's probably not a bad thing. We have a much broader palette of sounds and harmony to draw from. Early music especially had a much different theory of harmony.
Reddit is better because people are more anonymous and don't have to mix their real life with their online life.

With n small kids my available attention span for non-work tasks has become really short (hopefully a temporary condition).

Not like, "I can't write software in my spare time" short.

Like, "I might not be able to finish writing this comment" and "There's a 50% chance I'm going to get interrupted if I try to buy this thing online right now" short.

I can still get things done at night but often I just don't have the energy.

So anyway, that's one reason why abandoned cart notifications have actually been useful for me now and then. More than 1 email is pushing it though...
It's really amazing. I don't know much about Linux, but whenever I need to use some Linux only tool(or works best on linux tool), I just use wsl. Tried using a couple of linux desktops but the user experience is just terrible compared to windows for day to day work and there aren't many softwares available.
Almost always English unless German domain-specific terms. Very rare exceptions, typically in some custom business application one person wrote.
Thing that bothers me in this is that Microsoft made the effort to fly Keivan to the Redmond for interviews and meetings. Why do that? Apple sherlocks it's developer base all the time, and they give very little if none of the credit to original authors of the idea.

By flying the Keivan to the Redmond they gave him false hope of something, and wasted his time. Instead they should have asked about him nothing, if they weren't going to break software license doing their WinGet. It was withing their right to copy it.

Worse thing is to raise false hopes and false expectations. They will surely doom any relationship, regardless if it's about product sales or personal.
Either way, if people can be scammed^Wconvinced into using their own car to make deliveries for a few bucks that barely covers depreciation, then you can definitely find someone to sit on their computer and click through pictures of clothing for less than an SF city livable salary.

I have always been in disbelief of people who have to type for a living and also like Mac keyboards. It's like somebody told the designers "make it as close to a flat sheet of aluminum as you possibly can". I'll give it that it looks clean and elegant, but the actual tactile experience is garbage.
I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I very rarely use debuggers. Print statements have always worked for me even in large codebases. What am I missing here?
The original is in the "Musée des arts et métiers" Museum in Paris. I highly recommend to visit the museum if you ever are in Paris.

Clément Ader's late 19th century attempt at creating a plane. Blaise Pascal's Mechanical calculator. Prototype metre bar. Old supercomputers...

For those specifically: Because those are the names the tools use, and it'd be annoying to talk using one word, turn around and type a different word in the terminal.

Generally, abstract or mathematical concepts tend to have German words, but even those aren't always used. Things specific to tools/technologies typically don't, and few bother coming up with German equivalents. And German doesn't mind integrating other words, even mixing them in compound nouns with German ones.
Probably the same thing can be said about shakespeare as well. We just have a very wildly different context than its contemporaneous viewers. And our culture and language as it is now is hugely influenced by all of shakespeare's works that we probably miss a lot of what could have been novel and interesting about it.
I wouldn't call it trivial at all; 500 years is the difference between the Renaissance and present day. 2500 years ago, Rome had just become a republic, while 2000 years ago (during Augustus' time) it became an empire and would soon reach its territorial peak.
I don’t know what history books you’re reading or what Russians you talk to, but saying some of the revolutionaries were right wing coup of the true left wing is revisionist hope.

The way it played out in the USSR is the way it always plays out with socialists. There are the useful idiots and there are the true dogmatists. Lenin and Stalin were true dogmatists. There were many fallouts and betrayals -Trotsky being the most infamous, but that was all internecine.
Can you recommend anything to learn debugging the proper way (or maybe the article here is a good resource)?

I might be one of these print() people- usually when I hit bugs I read through the stack trace and can figure it out, but if it's more of an "unexpected result" I resort to print() so I know exactly what I'm doing. Would love to learn a more efficient way

Police are, in the aggregate, racist. They are more violent towards people of color. The marches are led by POC, include large numbers of POC, and are all about calling the police out for their own biases and illegal behavior.

This is simply a fact. It's not only intuitively true based on astute observation of current affairs, but the data trends towards supporting it.

Teaching them to code means teaching them to solve problems. It helps greatly their development and their thinking.

Before you code you think about what you need to solve. When you write the code, you think about the potential outcomes of the line/snippet you're writing.

I think that's a skill that is worth having.
In a historical precedent that doesn't particularly clarify the situation, in 1967 the Black Panthers were able to enter the California state capitol building with guns. [1]

Apparently they were let in, then arrested, then released without charge and their guns returned as they hadn't broken the law. However, they were there protesting against the 'Mulford Act' that intended to disarm them, and it was subsequently passed. So they didn't get shot, but they didn't get what they wanted either, and they did get banned from doing it again.

Of course, there's a lot more detail than I've put into this post, and society was pretty different at the time. Reagan supporting gun control? The NRA as a sporting organisation that supported gun control? And the panthers were Marxist? So I'm not sure it's a very instructive example about how the same thing would go today.

Covid-19 My Current Model – By Zvi
In the face of a billion dollars of revenue, what do you think is more likely: 1) everyone using stichfix gets "zero" utility from it or 2) You don't understand the thing you also have an opinion about for some reason?

For some people, buying clothes is a really stressful and difficult psychological process. You really don't know anyone who does not like shopping for clothes and would be willing to buy away that stress from a personal shopper/algorithm ?

Maybe you personally don't find value in that, or your tastes don't agree with Stichfix's style, but it seems quite understandable to me that many people would want this.
Or bans you :-)

The force vector from a polar ice sheet doesn't get cancelled out by the rest of the earth though (because they aren't pointing in opposite directions). Plus, you have to account for the force of the ice sheet, plus the water it attracts, plus the water that those combined attract, etc.

I'm no good with calculus so can't run that back-of-the-envelope for you, but it doesn't seem all that surprising to me.
The XPS 17 isn't out yet so I can't offer a personal comparison. Dell increased the size of the trackpad in the 2020 XPS 15/17, but otherwise it seems similar to previous ones.

YouTube reviews of engineering samples of the 2020 XPS line say they are best-in-class for Windows, which usually means they're not quite as good as Macs (same as laptop speakers, where the MBP also leads).

I find even Mac trackpads slow/frustrating after using a Logitech MX Ergo for a while, so trackpad experience is less of a factor for me.

Slightly off topic, but I'm reading this on Brave for Android with an ad blocker. The site manages to show an ad. No big deal. The site also hijacks my back button. When I try to come back here, it says please don't go, read some more stuff.

Perhaps someone should teach that web developer how websites and browsers are supposed to work.

Good thing Brave allows me to block JavaScript, and a little ironic given that Brave was founded by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript. Genie, back in bottle.

I'll just add Slate to the list of sites I don't visit. Surfing on my PC has become obnoxious due the JS (ads?) spinning up my CPU fan to 100%.
> The turn toward period instruments, smaller ensembles, and faster tempos appeared at the end of the 60s, and was steadily established in the 70s with great leaders like Gustav Leonhardt and Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

Is Harnoncourt generally associated with fast tempos? I thought the opposite. His recording of Händel's Messiah runs to 141 minutes (according to Amazon, I don't have my copy here). Almost all other performances I've come across try to squeeze it into two hours. I much prefer Harnoncourt's slower tempo. Though he might have treated other pieces differently.

I am not purposefully misreading. I am reading. I was gobsmacked by how ironic the proposal was and felt compelled to point it out. To show that this stuff is hard even when folks are entirely well-meaning.

I did notice the absence of race or color and you will note my comment does not include any notion of race. You added race. I did note judging by appearance. You added age, out of nowhere.

Using appearance to treat people differently is profiling, though not always racial profiling. Should non-racial profiling be okay? To your inclusion of age, should we treat gatherings of youth differently than gatherings of the elderly?

The GP says "...for the police to target...". No distinction is made between crowd control and standard law enforcement.

Why did you put a link to the Antifa_(Germany) article?
Composers did take advantage of the interesting properties of earlier temperaments.

With a non-equal temperament each key signature has a characteristic tonality due to its particular series of intervals, and a key that is 'far away' from the home key that an instrument is tuned for can have harsher sounding intervals. Equal temperaments like 12-TET were favored at least in part because they opened up possibilities for romantic era composers interested in exploring new ideas in modal harmony and more elaborate song structures.

I kind of get what you're trying to say, but it's important to remember that the definition of 'utility' is not universal.

One example comes to mind from the recent thread[1] about hiring for older programmers - someone gave an example of an older friend of theirs who started getting substantially more offers once he changed the way he dressed:

> It began with a friend who was in the job market as a 50+. More on the hardware side. This guy has some cool experience. He gets lots of interviews, they go well, but no offers. As his frustration grows, he grows desperate to try something different. He dyes some color back into his hair, gets some tinted glasses, and lets his daughter take him shopping for some more hip interview clothes. A month later and he's in bidding wars for who to hire him. He said the difference was night and day. He was now pointing out his age in interviews "are you sure I'm not too old?" and the interviewers were like "no way man."

In a case like that, fashion has clear social utility and a very real, tangible value to that person.
