My reading was that the complaint was that it implied false inclusiveness, which can come across as solipsistic to those who weren't included.

A little bit like how the final stage of Major League Baseball's playoffs are called the World Series, even though 29 of the teams are based in the USA and the 30th plays in a stadium ~25km outside the USA. I imagine that is at least a little bit irritating to professional baseball players from elsewhere in the world.

Really looking forward to some of the startups in this area, specifically companies that A) help you measure how healthy you are, and then B) help direct you on how to optimize your own health. One would think this is a job for our current medical system, but preventative care and true health and longevity optimization get very little attention compared to treating problems as they come up and settling for mediocrity.

There's a lot of interesting people that work on minimizing their biological age (sometimes measuring it with simple blood metrics that correlate with youth, and other times with more advanced and speculative ones like DNA methylation tests), and it's definitely an important, neglecting, and upcoming area. The downside is that to do a good job of maximizing your health and lifespan like this, it takes a lot of work, time, money, and research. For that reason I'm hoping some startups in this area do some amazing work and really start to make the field of healthspan and lifespan optimization more mainstream and accessible.

I’m going to blithely ignore the article, as it’s from Forbes, and just segue into something I’m curious about: how are gyms reopening, or not, where you live?

Here in Ontario, it seems like the many† gyms have gone to appointments, to deal with capacity limits, and to do extra cleaning. (Notably, the dominant chain gym. https://www.goodlifefitness.com/goodlife-standard) What about where you’re at?

I ask because I am not sure on the long-term financial stability of that. On the one hand, people are going to either be scared of the virus, or annoyed by the lack of flexibility, and cancel their memberships. On the other hand…a gym membership is a bit of an aspirational purchase, and cheaper gyms, say your Planet Fitness, have a business model predicated on “we’ll get you in the door for cheap, but we’ll never actually reach capacity because people slowly stop going.”

Bit of a rambling question, I just love going to gym, and I can’t yet figure out what the medium-term future viability is.

†except my small chain gym, which has a plan that boils down to “it’ll probably be fine”

Some code I wrote in a drunken haze has been running continuously for 7 years with zero downtime - it was only meant to be temporary!

It has zero comments, the code was inefficient, the variable names are things like "theThing" (it's the best I could do at the time) and "database" is just a series of text files carefully read/written to on the disk.
It isn't done by the shell on Windows.
Damn, that sucks. I use GSuite to SSO to AWS though.
The marginal intelligence point makes survival to reproduce more likely, so octopi that are marginally smarter tend to be slightly more likely to reproduce.

However, they seem to die very soon after mating for some reason related to their evolutionary history. There's no way for a marginally longer-lived octopus to be more successful at reproduction, because reproduction is a one-shot event for them. If anything there's pressure to reproduce (and die) at a younger age, since these octopi would be more successful.

Such are the tragedies of evolution, the blind idiot god.

he failed! suggesting the psychological appeal of knowing that I grew up in a town that was violently ripped from native americans makes me feel AWFUL, what kind of psychotic asshole do you need to be to actually know about the genocide you live on top of and then to feel pride in that? People are generally not bothered by their own colonialist history because they're shockingly ignorant of what it actually means to go somewhere and eradicate an entire culture. But to suggest that these people are actually intimitely aware of such conquest and that it there is "undeniable appeal" to feeling "proud" of that is revolting.

Eh, you basically just verified the point in my opinion..

You try to skirt around the issue saying the profits are maybe being passed down the consumer more than one thinks, ok valid. But the point still remains that everything that is being done is to maximize short term profits / cut short term consumer costs.

>policies that make oil and gas products cheaper popular with voters not just popular with "business elites."

Well.. so what? Of course 95% of people would generally say "MAKE THINGS CHEAPER!" That doesn't mean it should be done.

Besides, you are also making it sound like more people would rather have cheaper gas than a long-sustainable environment. Not so sure you are right on that one.

Hello
Nice idea and amazing ui. if you convert your website in a native app with https://swaptoapp.com then you get more reach from app stores as well as play store.
Like if you search on playstore for biolinky an app come. Swaptoapp.com also do same for your website and give amazing app in your email.
Also you get daily visits as your website will stay as an app in users mobile so they can open it any time.
Just think do you know the url of any website you visited on betapage two day's ago. I think you forget that but if you visit a site and then from that site you download that website app then it will stay in your mobile and after seeing for two three days you remind it forever.
This is the feature of app. Also app gives an accessibility to your users. As typing a website url on browser is sometime boring and apartfrom that if you see towords an app it is easy to launch.
Well, that's terrifying. I wouldn't be surprised if they get away with it though.
I believe that with svg, you can have multiple breakpoints and style rules depending on canvas size.
Great question. Figma is leaps and bounds closer to giving designers tools that work like code, but it still has a long way to go. My wish list design tool is something that has the creative flexibility of design canvas, but the power of clean, performant code. Truthfully I think it'll require evolution both in the design tools space, but also the HTML and CSS specs.

For instance, in Figma we've only had a reliable way of adding something simple like button padding (where you can create a reusable button that will expand as you type a longer label) for a year. There have been plugins that did it before that, but they weren't reliable. This is crazy when you consider you've had the ability to add padding to a box in CSS for decades. At the same time, try doing a complex layout in HTML/CSS, which requires you to learn about flexbox, floats, position, and/or CSS grid. Compare that to the ability to just draw a box, move, scale, and rotate it in a design tool.

So I see design tools and browser tools converging over time to allow designers, engineers, even product managers a layer of abstraction over interfaces that feels much more intuitive, with less duplication. Right now, I have components in Figma that mirror components we use in React, though this is usually manual effort which is also a bit crazy. I don't really count WYSIWYG editors as having figured this out yet, since they produce garbage code in my experience.
I was using their shared loadbalancers, not the run a load balancer in a VM option, because I was hoping for something more reliable than a single computer. For the couple months they were running, it was literally every 30 days, 10 minutes of downtime. So I went back to DNS round robin, cause it was better.
No they didn't. You shouldn't respond with confidence if you're just guessing.

Yeah I just repurposed a 2015 MBP as a desktop now that it is painfully heavier than my 2018 12" Macbook. I just found out that it could do 4K60 through the display port, and as a desktop machine it's great.

New Experimental Chrome Dev Tool – CSS Overview
> The onus is not on established programming languages to prove anything.

Why is there no onus on "established" programming languages (whatever that means)? It's not like production software hasn't been shipped in Rust, Haskell, OCaml, etc. Just because C is older it gets a free pass?

> As far as evidence is concerned

I would argue there's plenty of evidence that languages with better type system are valuable. What we don't have is proof, but that's because nobody has figured out how to do the experiment(s).
The systems I work on tend to be comprised of free software but "business logic" is private. I don't know if this would please the GNU founders but a lot certainly runs on open source and I can't imagine this changing anytime soon. It helps everyone to see the foundation and plumbing but then there's diminishing returns as you move into particulars of opinionated design.

For my part, one of the biggest wins has been freely available and HIGH quality development tools and languages. I still have PTSD from C++ compilers licensing. I'm still hoping that Office tools will get there.

And as for the possibility of "less software developers" ... unlikely! Again, there will be (and are) fewer low-level power-programmers but many many more high-level business coders. You don't want your guru working on that stubborn input field validation but you DO need SOMEONE to do it

> the product of parallel evolution.

Famously, their eyes are almost identical to ours, and are purely the product of parallel evolution.

One difference, though is that at some point during our evolution there was a glitch, or at least it took a less-than-optimal turn, that resulted in our retina being 'inverted', i.e. light must traverse the nerves and some tissue before reaching the light receptors, while theirs is as one would expect, i.e. with the light receptors at the front. [1]
This also means that our retina has a blind spot, while theirs does not.

You linked profits to "short-term gains for its core constituency (i.e. business elites." The notion that voters might be thinking in a short-term way, preferring lower energy costs and lower unemployment in the short term to more sustainable energy policies in the long term, I would agree with that, but I think that's a different argument than what can be fairly derived from your post.
Capitalism lets people with money do what they want, and lets people without do what their masters want.

Do all those businesses have a problem with unethical behaviour causing serious problems in society?

Doctors, bankers and apparently software engineers have a pretty big impact on society, and often in ways that aren't very transparent to most other people. It's quite possible there are other professions that have a similar impact, but I'm pretty sure it's not all.

I think registered accountants also have some sort of oath, again because various stakeholders including society as a whole has to be able to trust them.
I don't know where you live but there is likely a regulator you can file an officially complaint to. Not only would this cost the bank thousands of dollars to deal with they would quickly fix your issue.

Looking at the slides from a different article, these are not really in the chip per say but in the SDK. So any lib compiled to use the chip would be affected but not really a hardware issue. Basically fuzzy testing found 400 library calls that fail with segfaults. These can sometimes (but not always) be modified to do a takeover, but I didn't see anyone claiming to have done that.
I don't think it was a sensible position at all. It was a total abandonment of delivering autonomy that had been afforded to other colonies - Canada, Australia and New Zealand - based on Alexander Grantham's, frankly racist views, that Hong Kongers weren't British.

Gotcha - that now makes much more sense, and I’ll admit I skimmed for a number.

Thanks for that link - since I did what I’ve done here, I’ve had more than a few people express their gratitude and astonishment that they now have WiFi and signal when they go fishing (as the only other people we ever see here are fishermen), and the local mayor asked about a week ago if I would be able to do the same for a village nearby which has no cell reception... I’m going up there this week to take a look at the lay of the land. I’d been considering a series of relay towers, but it may not be the best option depending on a bunch of factors.

I dare say if I do go down the route of setting up an actual cell provider then I’ll have a damn sight more appreciation for the complexities these guys faced.
Based on my experience last week, I think the 36 hours conservative ballpark. My upright freezer (pretty full) was still OK at 48 hours but I don't think it would have completely made it through another 24. A smaller top freezer compartment had enough thawing that I had to throw some things, but not everything, out.

Where I am in Colorado gyms reopened. No one inside wearing masks & even though they had reserved times it didn't seem like they limited the number of people at all. I imagine people are now "wearing" masks but actually subtly skirting the state mandate. Decided to stop going to the gym because of it & am now building a home gym instead.
When viewed from the side of the indigenous however, it wasn't just the sight of a European that meant your days were numbered. Sighting an Aztec for example was almost as bad.

It is possible that going from famines and plagues to riches within a few hundred years with European influence ultimately results in less suffering than if that transition took significantly longer without European influence.
Their death rate is now zero, and daily confirmed cases is zero. [0] It's been ~1 per day since July 25th. At this point in time their death rates are the same as their neighbors.

Sweden doesn't have to lock down their borders because they didn't lock down their interior. It's all the other countries that need to lock down their borders. If it's not spreading inside the country, that's because it can't, due to herd immunity. Bars and restaurants are open, people are going to work. Life is approximately normal there now. It has been approximately normal there the whole time.

A few key points from your article:

> "There’s a lot to indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that needs to be controlled and not passively waited out."

And yet.

> "It’s still unknown whether they have short term immunity for about a year like with other coronaviruses, or any immunity at all."

Obviously people develop an immunity, their immune systems are responsible for clearing the virus out. If the immune system wasn't able to clear the virus out, they'd be dead. It's also fair to say that the more serious coronaviridae like SARS convey antibody-based immunity for >3 years [1] and T-cell immunity for 17 years and counting [2] so it's not exactly a shot in the dark.

Despite all the many problems with PDFs (frequent lack of internal navigation, too much or too little or just plain wrong metadata, inherently static) they're still great precisely because they print out the same way they look on screen (which is often something you want for a long or highly technical document) and because they don't slide around and constantly throw up modal dialogs.

Don't get me wrong, I find many aspects of PDFs hugely frustrating. But many websites are just horrendous and a complete misery to interact with. If it's more than a couple of thousand words I tend to start looking for a pdf version.
What's funny, is that it hurts the consumer.

Which (for worse) has been the reason to roll back all the antitrust laws that would have stopped Google from ever becoming powerful enough to do this in the first place.

Google of course argues "faster results" are good for the consumer, but if you strip away the incentives for publishing information in the first place, you quickly end up with "bad results" then "no results."

> Are you suggesting that TS team is so incompetent or legacy burdened that their codebase is impossible to extend.

I'm not suggesting at all that they're incompetent, but you seem to be...

Typescript's goal was not extensibility in the way it would be needed for Rome to use it as its base. There is nothing wrong with that.

Also, it's not "incompetence" to write a codebase that is hard to extend or modify to do something in a completely different way. It's just a difference of priorities.

Of course it would be better to only have easily-modifiable codebases in the world, but this is not possible. Teams might have other conflicting goals.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that a good codebase has every single positive attribute in the world just because it's a good codebase, or because its authors are good coders.

Webpack was harder to modify than creating Rollup from scratch, GCC was harder to modify than it was to create LLVM from scratch, Linux is immeasurably harder to modify than Minix if you want it to do things it was not . But it doesn't mean that those codebases are worse or better.

--

> What use case of TS would you exclude to arrive at simpler code base ?

Why would I want to exclude any use case from Typescript? I actually mentioned Rome's raison d'être is to have more things than other transpilers.

It's a matter of architecture and early choices, of how the parser/ast/pretty-printer were implemented. Not really a matter of features we can remove.
