A lot of this reads as if it was written by a villain from an Ayn Rand novel:

"a troubling idea came to the fore: that the architect was a distinctive individual, with a unique vision...

... We lost our ability to say that what we really craved was buildings that looked a bit like they had always done; buildings that one wouldn’t ever have to wonder who did them."
Not to mention the crunch when only ~5% more jobs go full remote in the next few years instead of the "anticipated" 40%.
This is absolute incoherent nonsense. Are TV networks that air press conferences giving 'untracked political contributions'? Is a network that chooses not to air a particular speech or event giving an 'untracked contribution' in the form of 'political censorship'?
There was a time when the Left was opposed on principle to our lives being controlled by the whims of huge corporations.

Ironically when this monopolistic control extends to our speech and information, the Left has suddenly forgotten its principles. Arbitrary black box moderation is OK because "they're on OUR side".

Well, I know enough of history to know that contenting yourself with a dangerous or corruptible system because it happens to align with you at the present moment is incredibly foolish.

Some of us still believe in the principle of free speech. Its protection from governments and corporations is a solemn duty as far as I'm concerned.
Cutting down trees does not generally decrease the area of forests in the first world - it decreases the volume of forests, it's essentially "harvesting the crop" because the same plot usually is replanted, and it often is required to be replanted. A reasonable mental model to think of most first world forests is as an equivalent to a wheat field, with the difference that ist's harvested and replanted not once a year like wheat, but once every 20-30-50 years depending on the tree species. Cutting down more trees is the equivalent of harvesting early, cutting down less trees is the equivalent of letting it grow some more before the inevitable harvest. It's not wilderness, it's something that's managed and taken care of.

Also, forests don't spread on their own. Well, they do in some untouched wilderness, but if I think of e.g. a central european landscape, there's no free space for them to expand to - in general, all land is owned by someone who wants some return out of it, so a forest ends right where something else starts, almost all usable land is productively used if it's not a national park or something like that. A place can be a forest only if people let it be a forest - and that has nothing to do with cutting down trees, it's about the fact that seeds can't grow into saplings if someone's doing something with that land.

A forest can spread only in two cases - either someone intentionally plants one (the most common scenario, but it relies on the expectation that in a few decades it will be allowed to harvest the 'crops'), or it's a result of decrease in agriculture, as some pastureland or farmland got abandoned because it was worthless to work it, and it overgrew with trees over the years. But such abandoned land is relatively rare, because even if it does "simply" get overgrown with trees, then it's profitable to take proper care of that forest (ensuring sparsity of trees, etc) so it usually gets done.

So if we don't cut down trees, or cut down trees slower than they grow, then (assuming no changes in agricultural land) forests don't spread, the trees just grow taller and wider. Forest area remains stable, forest volume increases - e.g. the current USA situation. And, of course, no new forests would get planted, because it's not practical to do so if you expect that you'll be prohibited to harvest it once it's grown. There are more forests in Europe than before because it became more profitable to plant and cut down trees rather than use the same land for e.g. pastures, so forests got planted - they did not spread on their own.

I have been using a 4k monitor and 2 1080p monitors on linux for a while now. The current state of things is that hidpi works correctly on everything I have run including proprietary apps. I'm also surprised when my wine programs scale properly as well.

What does not work perfect is mixing hidpi and lowdpi screens. On wayland with wayland compatible apps it works fine but on X11 or with xwayland apps like electron it will not scale properly when you move the window to the other screen, it will scale to one screen and be wrong when moved over. Overall I don't find this to be too much of an issue and when chrome gets proper wayland support the problem will be 99% solved.

Agreed, but it might be useful for a full stack data scientist that is forced to work in a Go systems environment.

That's why Python+PyData has had so much success. There are packages to support data science, but the language itself can also be used to implement a system, so integration is rather seamless. That's not true for, say, R.
Will they cover the North and South poles as well? I know there isn't much of a customer base, but it would be interesting to know that every part of the planet is covered and connected.
I remember it. In fact, I even helped build models for the 42nd street renovations as a side gig in school.

Time Square was as filthy and sleazy as one would expect from exposed underbelly of the beast. It is definitely cleaner now, but there is a different repelling aspect to it. But the fact remains that outside of 42nd Street New York City had a genuine character and energy that off the charts and far removed from an open air market mass tourism destintation.

I sorely miss sitting in front of Fanneli's in Prince street and nursing a pint and chatting up _neighbors_; or catching the local music scene in Bowery or East Village; or walking gingerly past the 'made guys' on Mott Street while avoiding looking Gotti in the eye; or going to that run-down theatre on St. Marks or that other one near Kennedy Center. One could walk for hours those days without a single side-walk rage incident; and of course our brunch hangouts were accessible if we showed up reasonably early. (Brooklyn is kinda the Manhattan pre Guilliani Light and that is where I have self exiled.)

I mean, for God's sake, we used to have a Kid Robbot right on Prince street. Now that store is selling nail polish and makeup. Yes it is cleaner now, but damn I miss that New York.
In this study they didn't look at the lifespans of the mice, they looked at markers of the health of different types of tissues. A lot of the time when something is about "reversing aging" it's about improving health so that organs of the old work more like those of the young or curing diseases of old age and not necessarily about increasing lifespan.

They would just lose track and not understand the lowest level.

I mean, look at us now - we're kind of analogous to super-AIs created by cells, and we try to program cells, but we can't really understand every detail; we try to manage them instead.

At some point the aliens would just have their lowest levels of abstraction frozen due to losing the ability to manipulate them. And take it for granted, like we take our brain cells or muscle cells for granted.
There are platforms aside from MacOS, and developers need to use them. It's great that you can, but that's not everyone.
120 Hz is a huge deal. It makes every mouse move better, and that alone is worth it. It reduces the pain of using poorly designed software that adds extra frames of latency to everything. It makes it easier to track and read moving/scrolling content, and it reduces judder when playing low frame rate content (e.g. 24 Hz Hollywood movies).

> You lost me right here on line 1.

I'm on Windows and can confirm 1. is an issue. Windows lets users scale UIs to be readable at high DPI on small screens. Doesn't work on all UIs (e.g. QGIS). So maybe not all OS's, but two important ones.

> You could say the same for any arbitrary DPI; 96dpi isn't "Required", we got by fine with 72dpi. It's all about ergonomics as far as I'm concerned.

I think the point the parent is making is that human vision has limited resolution. I.e. for a given screen size & distance from the screen, you cannot notice any difference in DPI past a point. The parent is suggesting that 1080p & 27" with a typical viewing distance is already higher resolution than the eye can resolve. Looking at my 1080p 27" screen from a metre away with 20/20 vision I am inclined to agree!
While technically the article is correct, it feels very narrow-sighted to me by placing resolution/refresh rate above everything else. Some more things to consider:

- Price. If you are not a programmer in a first world country working for a magic money startup/big 4 then you wont spend $1000+ on a single monitor. Mine was a better 27" 1920 one for $300 and I'm happy with it. I'm sure there are better ones, but I cant allow myself spending much more on one.

- No PWM. This is crucial. PWMing monitors kill your eye in hours, then you wont be able to work for the rest of the day. Some ppl I know take the eye-protection game so far that they by e-ink screens for development (sadly you cant buy large ones.).

- Adjustable, optionally can be rotated 90 degrees. If you got 2 monitors one rotated at 90 degrees is a blessing for reading code.

- small bezels. Quite important if you got 2 or more, large bezels make my setup clumsy.

- Bright. Its quite annoying if I cant read something because the sun shines in my room. Especially important for laptops.

None of these are mentioned, just that small letters should look nice and scrolling should be smooth.
Zoom is a closed-source application. Even if it implements perfect E2EE, you still need to trust the Zoom client itself. I don't see any reason why someone would trust the closed-source Zoom client, which means that E2EE basically means we're back to square one.
Nice work I love these types of projects. About 10 years I coded up an infinitely zooming mosaic for a big museum in New Zealand.

Just found someone’s video of it on YouTube - https://youtu.be/06GTEfSD2PM

I used an app called AndreaMosaic to generate the big mosaics and Silverlight + Deepzoom for the app, what a dreamy platform after developing for Flash :)
Right, many recipes in this thread are fancy. No need to get in such a ferment about it (pun intended). May be needed for colder northern climes, but I have my doubts. (E.g. people were making yogurt in similarly cold Central Asia for centuries, with out such data structures and algorithms, er, containers and instructions.) In India, mothers and housewives (and nowadays househusbands) routinely make curd (Indian English name for yogurt, dahi in Hindi), just by warming (c)old milk (or cooling just-boiled new milk down some), bunging some old curd in (e.g. 1 to 2 tbsp per liter milk) putting it in a slightly cooler or warmer part of the house, depending on the season), and forgetting about it for 8 to 24 hours. That's it. Dead simple. If not come out well, tweak a parameter or two, retry. But mostly it goes smoothly (pun not intended but retained).
I can’t wait for GitHub to support hierarchical orgs (like GitLab). I’ve started using GitHub for enterprise and it’s hard to have separate orgs or giant orgs as the two options.

Being able to nest orgs will be great so it’s still easy to organize an entire org as well as the ability to drill down.

Even better would be a tag-like structure where orgs can have relationships other than hierarchies. Topics doesn’t really do this now, but maybe could if they improve the topic search.
I think my suggestion that we should "perhaps" choose different words occasionally was mistaken for a demand that we must.

Choice of words is an individalized thing and language allows us to be as flexible as we like within still getting the point across. If I choose to say "European" instead of "western" when contrasting with indigenous Americans that sounds fine to me. If you don't make that same choice that's fine too. We'll all be understood.
And everybody knows the English just complain about everything ;-)
The fund must be backed by the country as such, like a reverse sovereign bonds and of course have provisions for people that can't afford to pay full for justified reasons.

Basing it in private entities is just asking for problems. Actually I've heard that there are a few countries that have something like that, but I don't remember which ones.

The fact that for most of the countries it isn't considered, no matter the party in power in each moment, makes me suspicious of everyone's intentions. Sometimes it seems politicians doesn't like when citizens are too happy.

Am I being cynical? Maybe. When I read in the article that the government massively buying real state is socialism, my first reaction is that prices will keep dropping and someone will buy cheaper later.

The electronic design automation world calls it "constrained random simulation" and has been using the technique for two decades for hardware verification, using the same kind of coverage-driven methodology that modern fuzzers use, though in some ways the problem is simpler with a synchronous hardware model where the state space is explicit.

Using the fp3 right now. It's great.

I had the fp2 previously. The experience wasn't great but it was cool to demo it to people... Like turn it off and take it apart in about 15 second. They sold a camera upgrade for about 25 bucks, and a replacement battery was around the same. The battery was pretty shit, but if you format your internal and external cards, replace the battery every year and use the open OS without all the Google crap, it lasts a day easily, even if you're oncall. That phone is rock solid and still works after many years of use, so it's my backup. But it doesn't perform great, doesn't have nfc.

The fp3 is a different story. Bigger screen, much better battery, same camera as the pixel, nfc. I get 2 days of battery life out if it. I'm not really sure what else people need from a phone. The fact that it's repairable is huge for me. After I dropped my new HTC M8 into water for a split second and then had to watch buzz to death, taking my photos and videos with it, I swore that never again would I buy a phone that didn't have a removable battery.
I always assumed this was in part related to socio-economic reasons (men on average do jobs with much higher death rates) as well as the effects of pregnancy, where the mothers body can be healed when pregnant due to migration of stem cells. Wild speculation on that last one impacting the life span, but there is evidence for it.

It depends on what kinds of attacks you're worried about. One of the challenges with paper is that someone can take a photograph of the data and steal it without the physical secret ever leaving trusted hands.
Ironically, doesn't this partially disprove one of the major complaints against the abolish police movement that we need police to solve crimes? Preventing and solving crime usually doesn't require a gun. It may be time to specialize and have less generic police and more non-violent investigators, social workers, mental health experts, crisis workers, etc.
So... “none”?
Ever been to the rust belt? There is plenty of unemployment in our nation's former manufacturing region.

In addition, a Walmart cashier, Starbucks barista or Uber driver does not have the same standard of living that a UAW member once did.

People are, on average, worse off than the preceding generations, all in the name of higher profit margins for the few.

>Across Western Europe and North America, the middle class is shrinking, according to a new report by the OECD. With each new generation, a smaller share of the population find themselves earning middle incomes.

When the Baby Boomers, who were born between 1943 and 1964, were in their twenties, some 68% were in middle-income households. Only 60% of Millennials, who were born between 1983 and 2002, could say the same at a similar time in their lives.

As an English speaker commenting on a German speaker's use of language -- I think it's laudably accurate, not pedantic.

'Everyone knows' may apply to how people in your vicinity use that word, but it's not necessarily the case everyone uses, or approves of, this usage.

As others have noted, normalising words with specific and powerful meanings is a way to weaken those words and surreptitiously make the actions they represent more common and palatable.
Compared to the current state across nearly all academic fields, that is leaps and bounds more open.

Outside of narrow fields, it was often the case that you would need to cough up an amount in the thousands to publish as open-access.

Check out Elsevier's own page (https://www.elsevier.com/about/open-science/open-access) where they list a price between $150 USD and $6000 USD depending on journal and article. On that page you can find a pricing sheet where out of 2340 journals they list, only 83 have an open-access fee of less than $1000 USD.

Springer Nature's fees seem similar, so hopefully this agreement brings down the cost as well.

The whole of academic publishing is a mess, and really needs large universities pushing the open access agenda. In a perfect world, academic journals would be run by non-profit entities and exist solely for the betterment of academia, but sadly large publishers like Elsevier turn billions in profit each year, lining their pockets with money leeched out of grants and universities.

Ya, the iMac 20" 5K is deal. I got an LG 28" 4K just to interface with a MBP..it was a painful compromise but stand alone 5K monitors are just too expensive right now.

When we are talking pixel count, we have to talk about size of the display also. a 28" 4k is acceptable, a 40"+ 4K is best used as a TV.

The best display I use right now is a 11" iPad Pro with a refresh rate at 120 Hz. You really can feel it, especially for stylus work.
It’s surprising to me that they don’t just do a folder based view using tags and relationships among tags.

This would work out well if they just added some graph functionality among tags.
