There are steps to learning and copying is one of them, and if someone is willing to acknowledge this that's a win. The problem is when people decide someone else has done the heavy thinking for them and they just have to copy-paste mental models, as you're alluding to.

Right to happiness is not a moral question that needs to be debated every time someone on Fox News needs to generate mass hysteria for profit. I think the average person can differentiate between what’s moral and what’s immoral and where are the boundaries between the two.

Actually, I'm taking a broader view of the issue.

>article is focused on economic prospects of our generation, many of the ramifications of which will not play out for decades

My response is not focused on the economic ($$) future of millennials.
In fact, I am not even in disagreement that millennials are disadvantaged economically particularly when looking at CoL and debt.

I am pointing out that the article eschews the extreme compounding increases in technological advancements that my generation is fortunate to experience. Is that agreeable? Or would you say that when comparing generational success and/or happiness we should only consider variables where millennials lag?

> The TP delivered to your house was done so by someone working a low paying gig work job. There is a good chance, that like you, they graduated with significant student load debt. How do you think they feel about their economic future?

The same person who delivers my TP probably gets their tp delivered as well. Even though they are a blue collar worker, likely with debt. Isn't that value worth consideration when comparing generational wealth? How is that being accounted for in the article? If it isn't being accounted for, then why not?

I really do appreciate this book. It's absolutely amazing, especially since it's free but I kind of dislike how in some parts the code is just shown without explaining the theory behind it. I doubt you could follow the book very well without having almost all of the source code layed out infront of you.

I'd much rather have a language agnostic explanation that does not rely on certain classes or patterns that only work well in the word of OOP-Languages.
This drives me crazy! I hate searching for documentation and the top results are blogs containing outdated copy and paste of the official docs with some witty text and gifs.
The per year deficit greatly increased though during that time. we reduced taxes, the economy grew a little more but the deficit really increased. the net is we borrowed from the future to make those tax cut (cause we'll have to back back the extra deficit over time).

I attended exactly because of those reasons. The problem is mostly that actually explaining a language (even from a high-level overview) well is a bit more involved than just explaining the syntax and the like.

For example I currently mostly work with Go, and if I would give a high-level presentation about Go I'd start with the "tour of Go" tutorial, but I'd also add some context to some things, explain where you need to be careful to avoid problems, and emphasize the usefulness of other things that may not be obvious at a glance. That kind of stuff. I think the presentation format is a great way for doing that.

A beginning JavaScript programmer might explain the "with" keyword, which would be a mistake. I have no idea if the presentation contained any mistakes like that.

I don't work much with JS, and I haven't looked much as TypeScript since, but I didn't really learn all that much more than what I already knew: "TypeScript is JavaScript with optional typing".

Was it useful for others? Maybe; I hope so. But for me personally I consider it a wasted hour in my life.
My solution for this problem:
1) stop trying to learn from random blogs, get a book. Books are still out there and you can learn just as good from them now as 20 years ago.

2) Get a subset of blogs to follow and stick to it. If you want to search in specific sites google has "site:" operator, you can search on specific sites.

3) by following 1 and 2 you can easily stop visiting shitty blogs made only for SEO, when they won't see any traffic they will fold because they will see no one is caring about what they write.

I am in process of implementing that. Got some books from humble bundle in topic that I am interested in, so no browsing crap until I get through those.

> She had gone straight to the lethal option and had no other recourse.

Not true. I presume that PSNI, like any law enforcement agency in the U.S., operates with some form of a use of force continuum that ranges from officer presence to deadly force. One of the most important aspects of that continuum that is taught to officers is that you can move up and down the continuum as the situation dictates. If you draw your sidearm you are not obligated to remain at that level of the use of force continuum. You should continue to make every effort to gain control of the situation, and deescalate.

At the same time, you are not obligated to use a lower level of force than that which you are facing, and a kitchen knife is a deadly weapon. It's very much a training issue as much as anything to educate officers in deescalation techniques, less-lethal weapons and control techniques, and scene management to minimize casualties. In the situation you describe though, it was absolutely appropriate for her to draw her sidearm, while still doing everything in her power to regain control of the situation so that she would not need to use it.
In my experience this is particularly egregious when trying to compare frameworks and libraries in the JS ecosystem. The posts usually boil down to “I wrote a hello world with X and Y, here are my thoughts”, or worse, “I wrote a hello world with X, didn’t even bother to write it with Y, here are my thoughts on why X is awesome and Y sucks”, or worse still, “I wrote a hello world with X, didn’t even bother to write it with Y, here are my thoughts on why X is awesome and Y sucks, and I’ll pretend I have ten years of experience with each.”
If so, would be the latest in a long and successful strategy of using the West’s language on offense and identity politics against our speech and media institutions.

And to be fair, we haven’t really figured out where we stand on this stuff.
While power draw can't be measured in an AWS instance, there's no particular reason to suspect there's anything all that interesting here. Other ARM 64-80 core chips have the "normal" ~200W TDPs you'd expect to find in server CPUs of this type, and there's been very little difference in general power efficiency between ARM & x86 for many years now. ISA doesn't matter much here, it's more about the target design & performance the chip is trying to hit.
Dogs will eat anything. One of my GSD's almost died after eating about a third of a blanket. His xray looked down-right scary, with this ball in his stomach. We were very close to having to have surgery to cut him open to remove it (which would have been very dangerous and very expensive). Somehow he managed to vomit the thing out in large chunks. We all dodged a bullet on that one.

So, yeah, it doesn't surprise me that they would eat horse hoof trimmings.

If you were to productize something like that you'd have to make sure you run through some testing to ensure dogs won't be harmed. The product liability element in products that people and pets eat should not be ignored, particularly in a litigious society like the US.
I think the constraints on these companies should be the same as in normal public discourse.

It is strange to me that I can talk to someone on the street about how I'm trying to minimize my consumption of Chinese goods and how this is worthwhile and no one would bat an eye but that that is somehow offensive online.

We can then decide if we want to regulate general public discourse about what we're talking about.
> Well, I'd like to point out I'm not a 5G nut

I wasn't accusing you. They're usually well-meaning rather than overly conspiratorial - although there are a few near me who, let's just say don't mention the Rothschild family near them.

In line with your final paragraph I suppose I agree that we don't know for sure, but it's unlikely.

As to high frequency radio waves specifically, Fighter aircraft have had millimetre band radars which people have worked with for half a century at least now (along with microwave links in the cities and satellite links etc.).

I feel like it's important to point out that long term exposure can't be too long term in the sense that the phenomenon has to be weak enough to have not yet been observed yet strong enough to outpace the churning of biological material in effects.

As a final remark, here is some actual data about 5G exposure in relation to local limits (UK in this case) i.e. fractions of a percent of the ICNIRP guidelines at most. Also, no one I'm aware of has proposed a mechanism as to why the wavelength matters at this scale?

Counter-argument: coming up with your own, carefully considered solutions to every technical challenge is absurdly time-consuming. The reason we can build such complicated applications in such a small amount of time is partly because we're relying on other people to make default, sensible tradeoffs - a framework supporting a particular type of SQL database, or NoSQL, or PHP or Django or whatever it might be. The mental effort of analysing all the tradeoffs of doing something one particular way (with such a wide range of possible options) for every little decision rapidly gets overwhelming. Of course it's worth doing a bit of research (which often ends up being "read someone else's blog" for bigger decisions, but unless you're willing to spend 2 months building a prototype application in each of Ruby, Django, PHP, and whatever other fun new JS framework du jour there is, it's perfectly valid to go for the path of least resistance and hope it doesn't cause you too many problems in the long run.

Maybe I'm so used to it for programming queries, but I've gotten back into electronics and ham radio after a long time, and have always dreamed of owning a decent oscilloscope. Googling 'good digital hobbyist oscilloscope' just now was a frustrating waste of time. It's just pages and pages of regurgitated specs and affiliate links, no useful _actual_ reviews or anything...

Take this top 10 result. It's on Medium which is new and hip and nice so must be of high quality...

I think this is the same situation a lot of people find themselves in. I would say I'm the same. The further along I get in my career the more I find I'm interested in learning or exploring for my own good or interests, rather than some fake sense of credibility I got in the past.

> You must judge Java by the developments of the last decade at the very least. Otherwise you're ignoring the practitioners.

I think plurality of situations it's actually used for currently would be a better standard than what you're advocating for.

This has the advantage that the merits people judge things on, and the experience they will most likely have using it will line up.

The downside is that, the merits used may differ a bit between markets or industries, but I'm personally ok with that.
They don't substitute on page ads and viewing ads that are notifications is optin. There are also ads on new tabs. That's another chance to earn BAT.

That Brave uses cryptocurrency is not a reason to dismiss it. There is a lot of hand waving but the hand wavers have no idea how Brave works. At least be familiar with the object of your criticism. Even the author of the blog post doesn't know the difference between a link and auto complete. How is that helpful?

A legitimate criticism of Brave is that competitors like Scroll have amassed quite a few publishers for their micropayments platform. Can Brave catch up?
If I go to a talk about a piece of technology, I expect the presenter to have enough experience with it to be able to provide me with a means of determining where I am situated in said technology's landscape, and what frame of reference is required to evaluate how to move about that landscape.

It doesn't matter how eloquent and thorough the introductory tutorial is, if the presenter has not experienced the technology sufficiently to have accumulated a few scars[1], they will not have the ability to convey the relative importance of the various aspects of the introduction, with which can be modified simply as a matter of taste, and which should be followed unless very careful consideration of global engineering context, and a full appreciation of the consequences.

If you are unable to meet that bar, at the very least, your abstract should make that abundantly clear out of respect for your audience.

[1] or at least have the experience to say that normally they would have expected to get bitten by something by their point in usage, but the technology meets their requirements so thoroughly that it has been particularly smooth sailing.

>> Believe in yourself. Your solutions are not any worse than the ones on the internet.

This needs to be clarified. If taken literally then people will never improve and Joe average will continue to post bullshit on the internet.

Most solutions are probably comparable to much of what is on the internet, but that doesnt make it ok. We need to filter what we see on the internet. If you learn a new concept that's good, and maybe it's what you need. The key is to keep trying to do better while looking out for fads.

I've seen a lot of change over the years regarding big new paradigms. Some I tried, some I tried and passed on (Java) only to see them fade. Maybe I'm ready to start a blog ;-)
Not as simple as just downloading an extension, but one could use a PiHole or similar network-wide ad blocking.

You should really understand the problem you're trying to solve. Once you understand the problem, evaluating a solution is not so hard.

And implementing a solution without understanding it is negligence that will bite you in prod sooner or later.

Hi there, maybe do not look for creating a perfect world nor the best of all worlds. Just your own.
Anyone is a generalization based on a narrow viewpoint. I would say I am pretty used to command-line tools at this point, at least enough to be using linux as a daily driver comfortably. And I frankly I didn't know 1-indexed fields were the norm, even though I knew $1 is the first argument to a poxis shell script (I always assumed $0 referred to the script or command itself).
You are holding your forearms at an angle. To reach things closer to your body, you move your right arm back and to the right. To reach things farther away, you reach up to the left.

So the question is, do you move only your finger when reaching for the number line, or move your whole lower arm?
Why did post-8008 CPUs not keep the on-chip stack idea?
Its hard to take your arguments seriously when you link to a paper on military research on a weapon that "can heat the skin to a temperature of 130F" and then compare it to cellular RF emissions, which would typically encounter your skin at a power level in the range of 10^-12W (-90dBm). It doesnt matter which layers of skin that does or doesnt penetrate, its just not going to do much of anything.
We're in a cold war with China and our manufacturing base has eroded over the past 40 years thanks to free trade. Now we are in a relatively weak position to be fighting a cold war. Say what you will about Trump, but he did start calling out China with his 2016 run. I have no doubts about the U.S.'s adaptability but often times we have to get punched in the face before we really appreciate the gravity of the situation. Covid was that punch. If free trade costs you your autonomy and resiliency, then it's not worth it.
Yes. Many website owners are too scared to link out because they're worried it'll penalise their rankings in Google. If you have hundreds of outbound links they can also be a pain to manage since so many domains get recycled into something else.

But I fully agree, people should be creating their own ecosystems with links, rather than keeping huge portals happy.
I was looking at the single-socket results for what I said above specifically to rule out any NUMA differences: https://blog.min.io/content/images/2020/06/single-socket-per...

That really looks like it's just sorting by memory bandwidth. Particularly with Cascade Lake's results vs. Skylake at the ~10 core number, since there's not really any other major difference between those two.

Being that memory bandwidth constrained, and then not being NUMA aware, is also quite likely why the dual-socket results are a disaster.
I don't get this article. The major point here is that a large registry analysis was retracted.

There is still no evidence that hydroxychloroquine is effective in treating or preventing COVID-19 and there is every reason to think that taking an unproven med with potential adverse effects is not a great decision.
Pretty sure you’ve attacked a straw man here. The article does not make the claim that DNA is the one and only source of information used in biological computation. It does, perhaps, imply that DNA is the most important source of biological memory.
