I also wonder the impact it'll have on retail and lunch places. A lot of small restaurants popped up around places with a lot of office workers. If those office workers are all WFH now, the previously desirable restaurant locations will become semi-worthless.

On top of that, my guess is that WFH people will go out for lunch less often, so those restaurants won't just relocate to more residential areas, they (and their jobs), will just disappear.
Dunno if it was you or someone else who clicked your link but it was nice chatting with a couple folks just now :)
The 1st rule we've learned is : you look all over the place, not just the kart in front of you.

The 2nd rule we've learned is : no skidding, never. That's really hard to do. But look at top pilots, they don't skid.

The 3d rule is : you do your best time on every single lap (super good pilots do almost the same time on most of their laps, within 0.3 sec range; it's hard to believe they do it, but they do !).

4th rule : figure out the best trajectory. According to my kid's teacher it's a question of 10 centimeters here or there (good luck figuring that out !).

Strangely, passing a car is the last thing you learn. But in retrospect,it's normal : most of the time you run after the one in front of you. The opportunities to pass another pilot are rare (most of the time you're much faster so the blue flags forces them to let you pass).

As a dad, I'd say : find a good teacher, it makes a big difference.
Coronaviri is the plural of coronavirus. The virus that causes the Covid-19 disease is the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is a virus of the type Coronavirus. That means, there are other virus which are Coronavirus, hence if you want to refer to them as a group it would be correct to say coronaviri. If you re-read the article now knowing that coronaviri is the plural of coronavirus, you'll see every time it refers to coronaviri it is in plural (i.e. "is related to other coronaviri")

Thats really good. I wonder how UK companies will respond.
Or fill it with some AAA Steam games shouldnt take long to fill the whole thing.
Many people from our company prefers working from home as well, so I'm waiting to see how our HR reacts (we already have a 3 days WFH policy in place, but many people now kinda wish they could do permanent). However a large enterprise I'm working with already asked everyone to go back to office, in addition to never issuing WFH for their non-Tokyo office in the first place, which is kinda shame, because I wish they would be adopting with the "new normal", but instead they just go back to normal...
To copy & paste a previous comment I made about the concept of "constrained supply": When discussing "platform economics", economists often like to identify the "constrained supply" because that dictates where to prioritize efforts. In Uber, the constrained supply is the drivers, not the passengers. In dating apps, the constrained supply is women, not men. In a Q&A website, the constrained supply is the expert answerers and not the question askers. (This matches our intuition that generating new questions is "easy" and a larger population can ask them but answering questions is "hard" and therefore it's a smaller population that can do it.)

For Acoto, the constrained supply is the "expert mentor". So it's logical to want to know about the benefits for the mentors... but when I try click on the link to in the landing page:

>Want to register as an expert? There are numerous benefits of partnering with us. Click here"

It's just a sign up page asking for mobile phone and email address. No benefits specified. Being opaque about this is not a good look.
How is that similar? It's a GUI. There's a zillion GUI diff tools but very few console ones. icdiff is the only side by side CLI diff tools I have seen.

> we as a species aren't capable of large scale rational and compassionate cooperation.

Most likely true, as far as it goes. Ironically enough, the closest thing we get to 'large-scale (even world-scale) rational and compassionate cooperation' is the very "industrial society" mentioned in the OP. You may not like industrial and post-industrial society, but it's not clear that there's any alternative if you want "everyone" to be involved.

China spent half a billion on a military base in Djibouti at the mouth of the Red Sea less than three years ago.

Russia funds separatist anti government groups in Donbas and annexed Crimea, while maintaining military bases across Eurasia specifically near their former subjects.

Russia funds Iran, responsible for the ongoing Yemeni famine, and as a cherry on top, Iran funds various groups across the middle east through Russian instruments.

This is a wonderful and hilarious short interview with Morricone in the 80s: http://sdarchive.com/premiere2.html

100% this. When I write Javascript or Scala, I do this anyway just because it’s a better way to structure code.

Nested anonymous functions that contain complex bodies and rely on scope closure of args or local variables inside the complex bodies of exterior anonymous functions needs to stop being a thing, in any language, anywhere. It’s a massive antipattern.

Same for using functional programming constructs like map or filter or reduce with complex multi-statement nested anonymous functions. “Inlining” your anonymous function when it’s not just a simple statement is simply a terrible idea across the board.

It’s like living in crazy town to see that style defended as reasonable or treated like it’s valuable for a use case, etc.

I don't think it's 'close minded' to conclude that if someone concludes the logical consequence of ideas is to become a mail-bombing hermit, the ideas themselves might fall some way short of being a 'must read for technooptimists'.

Even outside the context of the person who generates them which is the sole reason the manifesto garners any interest at all, I am not sure the world is being driven apart because people do not read enough tracts about the need to 'take a resolutely anti-leftist stance and ... avoid all collaboration with leftists'.

If technooptimists and leftists want to read articles critical of their positions [preferably positions they actually hold...], which would be a good thing, they're surely more likely to be persuaded by tracts which are less reliant on sweeping generalization and notable for reasons other than the author's death toll.
Pay.

I know everyone says no, I want this or that, but at the end of the day, you are trading time for money. Only when people have enough money to not worry do they care about other things, and unless they are were getting 300k+ in a FAANG company for the last few years and now can live ok for a few years, pay is the important factor.

If you can't save a penny, even if work conditions are great, people will change to start building their 401k or to get their kid to a better school.

Then there is also the cultural factor that if a manager asks 'what kinds of things motivate you' if you just say money, you are branded an heretic, so people say independence or agency or whatever.

I would say (assuming they have another option of course) more than 95% of the people here and everywhere would change jobs if they got a 20% payout or something, so that probably says a lot about it.

I suggest looking at wxWidgets. Fully cross platform, no commercial/paid version, all open source, without any of the org issues facing QT, and it's... a classic GUI.

I'm interested in seeing if Elements can integrate. WxWidgets has the typical amount of code (more than a little, but not much more) to create one's GUI. There's significantly more than just a GUI, BTW.

I also tried Dear Imgui, but had to back out due to the constant rendering requirement of Imgui, because my applications are already hi-compute and a persistent GUI is required when you're already pushing the CPU without any GUI.
Unfortunately, the actual answer is "there is not enough information on the question to provide a response". It's an exercise as to the limits of problem formulation, from what I understood.

Just a random slightly off topic rant.

I’m of two minds seeing the comments below.

For context: I only started taking my career seriously about a decade ago and I’ve spent the last ten years jumping between 5 companies as your standard Enterprise CRUD developer/team lead/architect in a relatively low cost of living city in the south east.

Before my current job working remotely for Amazon (AWS Consulting), I was making about the median for my local market for level of experience $140K - $160K and with my wife working. We were comfortably able to meet our short and long term goals.

Then the local market tanked post Covid, and my former employer did an across the board pay cut.

My emotional mind is saying all of these folks graduating and within three to five years are getting more than I am even now that “I am working for a FAANG”. What did I do wrong? That’s a rhetorical question - a series of $bad_life_decisions for the first decade of my adult life.

On the other hand, my logical mind knows how fortunate I am that I am making what I make now, I am able to work remotely from a low cost of living area, and that I was able to do it without “grinding leetCode” and without a whiteboard coding interview.

Since we use Gitlab for private repositories and Github for public ones, the main irritation I find is that even those two aren't completely compatible. From a standards perspective, the "official" seems to be supported everywhere but when you start adding in "extensions/variants" all bets are off. You might be able to write most blog posts with the official version but I like TODO lists, tables, etc (without resorting to inline HTML).
The only thing with 'just gzip it' is that actually minification+gzip does seem to give slightly better results than just gzipping it. This is partly going to be because there are some things that gzip doesn't know it can remove that a minifier does - e.g. comments. Presumably this difference is exacerbated if your codebase uses long/descriptive names and many long comments. Not that this is a particular problem for Python on the web of course because minifiers do exist for it.

>Is it really wasted though? Back when I still bothered to watch TV with ads

The world was a very different place back then. Where the majority of "housewives" (as in the person who makes the decisions - and bought - all house purchases) were actually the wives, and ad jingles was part of the soundtrack of our existence. Attention was less split and focused mainly on TV, and fewer players had access to it.

And you're right, it did have a brainwashing effect, and I bet to this day you still know the lyrics or you can hum songs from jingles, or you know brand claims by heart. People underestimated that.

But still like you, hundreds of million of people never consumed, became customers, recommended or influenced any decision for a lot of those brands - but for those brands it was still worth it. It was part of their business model - mass media + a big share of shelf in large retailers. Coca Cola Company, P&G, Mars, and many other mammoths grew with this.

>I mean if it wasn't, would we see so much product placement in movies and TV?

The problem is that TV is different from the Internet, still to this day. Just because they share the same type of media (video), it's different how you watch and how you manage your attention.

A banner in a website is very different from a spot in break on a TV show. Even a preroll on youtube is different from a tv spot - because if you're not watching the tv spot and you're fiddling with your phone, the sound is there, and it grabs your attention for a fraction of time.

I'm not saying that high frequency doesn't work - it does work very well! Does wonders! But wastage makes it expensive, and it works differently depending on the media..
Statically compiling dynamically-typed Python to statically-typed WebAssembly would be similar to how Nuitka [0] compiles Python to C. This compiled code may be a little faster than interpreted Python, but it's still going to be quite slow - much slower in a browser than JIT-compiled JavaScript.

AFAIK the ideal way to maximize the performance of Python in the browser would be to JIT-compile Python code to WebAssembly. Does anyone know whether WebAssembly implementations are able to support that?

Morricone and Leone were classmates, so it’s not impossible to think they might have watched Kurosawa’s work together. However, it’s more likely that Morricone’s influences were coming from a ‘60s Italy that was in a continuous state of near-revolt, where folk music was explicitly being rediscovered in opposition to the establishment (which, in Italian musical terms, meant opera and prewar songs). Using “the people’s” instruments was a statement as much as a stylistic choice.

They also open sourced it and created a new organization, the Defold Foundation, to own it. I have built commercial games but only some incomplete side projects with Defold, Corona, and Love2D.

Of the three I thought Defold was the best and was supported by a company of commercial game developers. If I were going to start today it would be my top one to consider.

When the current health insurance system was created in the 1950’s, there was a very specific family structure in the United States where the man would work for a wage, and the woman would stay at home with the children. So if the health insurance was attached to the man’s job, then she was dependent on him for healthcare. So you have to understand that on the American right wing, the current health care system is seen as a lynchpin of the “American way of life”.

Not only that but as many black people work the kinds of low wage jobs that don’t offer health care. If we created a public system for everyone, then taxes on white income and property would be used to pay for black people to have health care, something which in the United States is a hard sell. That’s why you will often see people holding signs saying something to the effect of “racial equality is communism”.

Yes just call it "callback" if necessary. In the situations I'm imagining, that would still make the code clearer than using one statement to cram in both the definition of the multi-statement function and the use of it in another function.

But maybe we're imagining different situations, and maybe that's the real reason we don't share the same point of view.

Why? VW earned 13 billion EUR after taxes in 2019, Tesla is still negative for 2019 in total. And yet the market cap of Tesla is 187b USD while for VW it's 80b USD.

Stock prices have apparently nothing to do with company earnings and performance so how do you know Tesla isn't worth 2000/3000/4000$ per stock?

Investors buy Tesla because they hope a lot of others will too in the future. As long as this hope is there and more people put their money into Tesla, the stock price will continue to rise.

A budget cap is one solution to keep design regulations to a minimum and ensure that smaller teams can compete. F1 introduced a $145 million budget cap for the 2021 season, going down to $135 million for 2023-25 seasons. Right now the three biggest teams (MB, Ferrari, Red Bull) spend somewhere around half a billion or so per season.
I'm saying that at some point in time, MAYBE, there was the discussion of large media groups to pressure policies to make that data available to them.

The driver matters more when the cars are close in performance. Any driver on the grid would have been either World Champion or runner up in a Ferrari in 2002 and 2004, Red Bull 2011 and 2013, Mercedes in 2014-2016 and maybe 2019. The only opponent would be the team mate. The car matters nearly zero in the fight with a mate, that is only about driving skill: how to be fast and when, when to try to overtake and when not, etc. Most F1 drivers are very fast but not all of them are as wise in their driving as they should be. Some of them regularly end a race and score points, others regularly crash or throw away good results. (And some drivers are there because they are backed by sponsors with the money needed by the teams they drive for.)
