Yeah, passages like this:

> A side effect of the fetishization of the industrial is that it aestheticizes the backdrop of labor within capitalism, in many ways erasing labor’s histories of toil and struggle.

"Why, of course a white kitchen signals you as an enemy of the people. It's so obviously counterrevolutionary!"

I imagine stern, angular posters, "Mind your palette, comrade!"

The piece isn't just Marxist, it's Soviet.

But also... schizophrenic? You can't idolize the humble worker while hating "normies." The top 1% alone don't make something ubiquitous. The eccentric preferences of billionaires aren't driving the aesthetics that take over Target and starter homes or get featured on reality TV.
I bought a Philips light-based alarm clock, which I liked, but it wasn't enough. So I built a whole-house system out of Hue bulbs and custom software:

To my surprise, the most valuable part for me was not sunrise but sunset. If the lights auto-dim in the evening, I go to bed on time, which means I wake up on time.
This is actually a good point I hadn't realized until now.

Zerohedge does tend to cover the contrarians and often the talk to experts. Yes, some are nuts, but many are not.
How can people sleep during the hottest part of the day? I've never been able to manage that.
Or perhaps better, weighted finite state transducers, since some errors are more likely than others.
Agree that there's a big difference between the error happening at compile time vs. happening at run time in prod, but I personally find the python stacktrace much more descriptive of how we got to the error than a lot of other languages.

A certain amount of it is probably a familiarity thing, but I do usually find myself able to parse it to the point of what line in which file things started to go wrong.

Honest question: do you think this kind of stuff is going to be adopted by the majority in the next decade or two? Because I'm looking at it and adding even more language features like that seems to make it even harder to read someone else's code.
> Google has done no work to make this a friendly, safe, and simple process

It's very easy, when you try to install from a non-Play Store source you are presented with a security dialog which leads directly to a page where you can toggle installation from that source.

I can't see how it could be much easier.
Nice. But I need to retrain myself to read Go code again, because

Wrong. NFSv4 with Kerberos maps UIDs to Kerberos principals. Kerberos further allows you to apply (authenticated) encryption to transfers.
Happy to pay for extended vacations for so many... I personally know several people who refuse to go back to work under the guise of “we don’t feel safe” so that they continue to get this free vacation. The debt hole that’s being dug on this fraud is incredible...
I surely hope this point in time does not turn out to be the best it's ever been.
"But the first assumption alone is enough to prevent the developer job market from being a market for lemons. If you can tell that a potential employee is great, you can simply go and offer them twice as much as they're currently making (something that I've seen actually happen). You need an information asymmetry to create a market for lemons, and Joel posits that there's no information asymmetry."

Not necessarily. Suppose you can identify good developers after you have worked with them. Then, as in the used car model, lemons will be discarded ("resold") and good developers will be kept and driven.
My experience too. Small, tightly-focused but widely-skilled teams with at most 2 layers of management (but usually only 1) are where I do my best work.

I recently built a facade for payment gateway callbacks to put message into SQS to reduce loss of requests from main API. (Costs less than $1 per month to handle all requests and # of lost requests in the last 6 months has gone from ~15 out of ~10k to 0)

How did you arrive at your assessment of what is reasonable?

Mine happens to be different from yours. Does that make me unreasonable? I mean, are there more shades to the world than reasonable/unreasonable, black and white?

I think so and I hope we can discuss the various shades of grey.

I think being responsible and saving for a rainy day applies across all spheres of life - be it government, business or a household. What do you think is fundamentally wrong with such a view, other than that it isn't the way things currently are?

> I guess it’s true that history is written by the victors. I guess it’s not so clear who the victors were and if they will remain so.

History is written by whoever actually writes it. Thus for a century after the US Civil War a view extremely kind to the South, and Sima Qian, who lost at politics so comprehensively he was castrated is where we get most of our knowledge of the Emperor who ordered the deed done.

Thucydides’ obsession with Brasidas is easy to understand once his personal relation to Thucydides is made clear. His portrayal of Brasidas as daring, brilliant, charismatic, and clever beyond measure also begins to make sense—the greater Brasidas' past feats appear, the less damning Thucydides defeat at his hands becomes.

> Thucydides treatment of Brasidas is hardly unique. You can play this game with many other aspects of Thucydides’ History, from his attitude towards Athenian democracy (which voted for his exile) to his unflattering portrayal of Cleon (who replaced him). Thucydides lost battles with them all. The History of the Peloponnesian War was written by a loser.
At this point I'd rather read ZH with scrutiny than watch anything on cable news, or anything "reputable" online.

At least ZH doesn't lie to you. The facts are presented, the narrative is painted, but in a manner that is open to questioning. It's pure speculation, and that's ok, because that's how and where investigations start. By the time reputable spots pick it up it's usually months old.
20 minute power naps are awesome if you can get the timing right. I usually use an alarm, because if I nap much longer than 20 minutes then coming out of deep sleep leaves me feeling super disoriented.
I've thought about how this relates to Stumbleupon as well. I never used it myself, but it came up while I was looking for things similar to Findka.

I'm actually just starting to implement features like these. If you make an account then go the the Account tab, you can enable a public profile like this[1].

Biphasic sleep is pretty common in Asian cultures. An afternoon nap is common in pre-schools and elementary schools, less common but still not non-existent in higher education and the workplace.
This isn't what happened, their weapons were exposed and adversaries now know about them. Their effectiveness is still greater than 0. Digital weapons are copied not stolen, this is the equivalent of russians sendig spies to the US to steal nuke secrerts and the they developed their own nuke. The fact that the US has nukes has nothing to do with their ability to keep secrets and keep out spies. Furthetmore, russians having nukes did not make american nukes ineffective, they simply lost an advantage and to be frank it was only a mattet of time. Just like with the cia hack. And it will happen again!
This is somewhat tangential to the article, but I've written about this previously. I think a big first step would be to stop talking about race for different skin colours.

I'm always surprised that "race" is so commonly adopted in conversations even by campaigners against racism, as a European I always cringe. The term implies a genetic difference where there isn't any and thus contributes to systematic racism/discrimination IMO, words do matter.
I just love robots, and I’ve purchased a few, but I just never had the time to play around with trying to build my own so I’m a bit naive of what is state of the art and how quickly we can expect it to advance. Maybe when my son is a bit older I will get to build some with him.

I have a robot vacuum which actually does an Ok job on the first floor despite the software being extremely naive. I have a robot lawnmower which, after laying the guide wire, does an incredible job on a fairly complex half acre and was worth every penny, and also accomplishes its task with surprising naïveté.

So far the success of robots seems to be in finding ways to reduce a seemingly complex task into a random walk.

I dream of robots doing all sorts of helpful things. Big robots that help me move stuff around the house (and maybe even up the stairs?). Little robots that can unclog a drain. Ridiculous gyroscoping telescoping robots that scoot around the kitchen and put away the dishes from the dishwasher in perfect stacks way up on the highest shelf.

Specs say Spot weighs 70lbs and can hold 30lbs.

2:1 seems actually... not bad. What’s the chance the tech evolves to 1:1 in 10 years? Is weight to payload ratio even a reasonable metric?

I feel like the three big things are 1) degrees of freedom, 2) torque, 3) finesse.

I don’t really have a good grasp of how much the problem is breaking down at either the software or the hardware level where I’ve never seen a robot that could really do all 3, even if it was a totally preprogrammed hard-coded action.

I would characterize that link simply as ZeroHedge’s “response”. Their response contains embedded tweets but not much evidence.
Interesting, I'd say the ones to challenge in the backend space are Java, C#, Scala, F#, OCaml, Erlang, Kotlin, Clojure, Elixir and Haskell.

Those are the stapled languages in the backend space which Go competes in. You could give some of them a try.
That's kind of a non-response isn't it? The way things are is always determined by the events that came before. It doesn't mean you've correctly identified the right events.

I think it's easy to point at something like slavery as the underlying cause, but Europeans had no issue looking down on blacks before they had the idea to import them to the new world as slaves, and Europe adopted similar attitudes toward blacks with no slaves present.

Basically, this and other comments show that the analogy completely breaks down. The scales, changes in scales, and degrees of freedom are just utterly different from anything physical humans build.
That quote fits perfectly for these situations where I find a suggestion so flappergastingly silly that I wonder if the author and I have experienced the same reality.

It's a clever UX, with interesting features in the business logic. But at the data layer none of it prohibits IMAP integration; simply presenting IMAP folder emulation for the emails and attachments would suffice for export or off-platform access. The fact that they aren't willing to do so is suspicious.
Yeah I guess some people really misunderstood how hard making secure system is. Of course you can't claim to kill economy or too many people with it, but really you don't even need that kind of funding to break into most networks.

I guess it's safe to say that even with $1M of funding and small team of dedicated security researchers coupled with right people for social engineering you can break into any network. Everyone can be fooled and humans are always the weakest spot. Especially now when information about everyone is publicly available on social networks so you can gather all information you need remotely.

And when it's come to hacking into networks of company with no dedicated budget for cybersecurity cost of attack would be one or two orders of magnitude lower. Some self-organized groups of hobbyists prove you can even do it with no funding at all.

No, it's raised profit margins for manufacturers who no longer have to pay a living wage, healthcare, benefits, and obey stricter environmental and worker safety regulations.

That's not entirely accurate. San Francisco, and the rest of California, changed the law in 2016 so that properly trained pharmacists are allowed to prescribe the birth control pill. That training is part of the standard curriculum for new pharmacists, and training is available for pharmacists who got their license before that became part of the curriculum. Anecdotally, I will also say that Planned Parenthood of California is pretty decently funded and are able to offer IUDs (Mirena) and Depoprevera (the shot) at a reasonable price, with and with-out insurance.

This practice is not limited to California, either. Washington DC and nine other states - Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and Utah – allow pharmacists to prescribe birth control.

I'm surprised by all the negative top-level comments. I wasn't familiar with ZeroHedge before, but I just looked it up on Snopes.com and there are numerous results where ZH articles were marked false or mostly false. I followed a few links and didn't find any retractions. Clearly, this is a site that is OK publishing demonstrably false news for the eyeballs and ad dollars. An advertising platform is well within its rights to stop showing their ads on this website, especially since most major corporates would not want their brand associated with funding such false news. Admittedly, as a moderate/progressive, I'm biased against extreme-right hate-peddling.
How do you become homeless by the 'housing market collapsing'? If the price of housing goes down rapidly (which I guess it what's meant by 'collapse'), that makes it more affordable, not less.
Punk is mostly left-wing with a lot of anti-authoritarian, anti-fascist, pro-feminist, anti-racist themes. There are exceptions to the rule (TSOL), but for the most part it was not right wing. They were on the far end of the spectrum to yuppies in the 80s and have only moved further left. Think of Dead Kennedys, Crass, and other classic punk like Bad Brains. There were definitely nazi-punk and other exceptions, but still a minority.

I had to transit anyways, and I found it hard to work in transit. In hindsight, I had terrible sleeping habits, and eventually, it forced me to start taking naps wherever I could. A schedule materialized organically and became the norm when I gained the trust of my instructors.

And yeah, it was for a competitive advantage. Not within my school, but for college. I didn't understand how college or scholarships worked until my 10th year, which meant that I had to become competitive much quicker than other applicants.

On a side note, the worst periods were phasing in-and-out of schedule during winter and summer break (I worked a 9-to-5 on breaks), which I did three or four times.
I don't quite understand the headline. This seems like a rather obvious outcome.

The big question is: what are the limits on it? Helping the poor in Indonesia (and Brazil) would diminish deforestation, but would it do the same if you were helping the poor in the US? Ukraine? My guess is that it would do barely anything about deforestation in the US, but I have no idea about Ukraine.
Maybe you and 99% of the Global LEFT is wrong

and Multi culturalism, Globalism , group rights, victimhood plague, removing merit , refusing to hold everyone to the same standard is the FUCKING PROBLEM

BTW
Japan doesnt have a racism problem
because everyone is ONE STANDARD RACE

Its Japanese Nation for ethnic native japanese people

Maybe the Global LEFT needs to be fucking honest for once and admit that "EQUALITY" is actually GLOBAL COMMIE DICTORSHIP

and no one will be truely "EQUAL" until everyone is lowered down to the common lowest bar

Ever considered that maybe
GOVERMENT
TAXATION
"RULES" and "REGULATION

and non ethnic people running - goverment/police/courts/etc that hate the ethnic native people

IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

NOT "RACISM"

Which is another MADE UP WORD by JEWS
As someone who does a lot of work in Java (which lacks typedef), I feel the opposite. I don't like "stringly typed" APIs where everything is a String or int or whatnot - it's only slightly better than Object; you're basically giving up on typechecking.

With generics or typedefs (or a willingness to create lots of classes), you can be certain you never pass an Id<Foo> someplace that expects an Id<Bar>.
because advertisers that pay Google don't want their ads to appear on ZeroHedge

There’s no evidence that this was driven by advertisers, it was a unilateral decision made by Google, influenced by a taxpayer-funded British pressure group. Does that count as election meddling by a foreign power I wonder?

In order to have a complete picture, one also has to ask which "foo/bar dominated" cultures are inclusive if white/male dominated ones aren't.

As far as I'm aware, the majority population in any country, irrespective of skin color is intolerant to various degrees toward minorities, ranging from genocide and internment camps to harassment and minor discrimination.

The US is certainly not leader of the pack, but not exactly terrible either, when one looks at the constant amount of outrage. It seems to me that a group of people in the US concerned about the topic of race in their country is projecting its distorted view of things on the planet and has furthermore chosen an approach which is doomed to fail. Good luck with that, but maybe this time the US could try to not also damage the rest of the world in the process of fighting a war on abstract nouns.

Edit:

Someone in a nuked comment said "Why on earth does one have to make a broad comparison of cultures to rank badness at racism before dealing with this instance?
And are you saying 'inclusion' is quantitative or something? "

Because by doing this comparison one can check if the problem of bias is universal (yep) and ingrained (yep), therefore suggesting that focusing on black vs. white in the US is counterproductive. Instead we should do research into individual and systemic biases and see how those could be kept under control.

Punishing individuals is hilariously bad. In fact there's a direct parallel between this and safety engineering, where clueless organizations will punish an employee which made a mistake while they continue to lumber from incident to incident.

I could see it being an issue if you were doing a bunch of streaming transcodes, and wanted that in an event loop instead of blocking... but

a) you're probably going to want to control the number of simultaneous streams to a low enough number that you could just fork

b) the responsible thing to do when decoding streams with ffmpeg is to disable all formats except your whitelisted format, but still sandbox the heck out of it, because there's been a lot of CVEs where a crafted input allows remote code execution

Sandboxing is going to be much more complete if the ffmpeg process is only dealing with one input fd, one output fd (maybe an error reportint fd), and no network or filesystem access --- you don't want a decoder error to influence media you're encoding/decoding for another user.

If you count writing systems, a small subset has an upper/lower distinction: Greek, Latin, and Cyrillic, and maybe a handful of others. Not Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Devanagari, Tamil, Thai, Thaana, Bengali, Hebrew, or a bunch of other scripts.

If on the other hand you count the languages that use writing systems with an upper/lower case distinction, then most use Latin, a much smaller set use Cyrillic; and the rest of the writing systems are used by one or two languages each, with the notable exception of the Arabic script.

So most scripts lack an upper/lower case distinction, but probably most languages use a script that does have such a distinction.
