While I agree with you on the big picture, at the individual level, it's becomes really hard to justify.

Imagine the following conversation:

- "officier, my wallet just got robbed, I had my voting digital card in it, what can I do?"

- "nothing, anyway a single vote does not matter in the overall election"
It sure does, but GP specifically mentioned diagnostic reporting as something missing when using the "new hot" languages
My biggest regret is that Google Drive not only does not seem to natively support plain text editing, it seems to go out of the way to make it harder. I wish it could be more like Dropbox.
I mean, unsurprisingly, it looks like it requests permissions to execute arbitrary code on your behalf on netflix.com. So yeah, it can do... a lot. It could, for example, click the logout button on your behalf, wait for you to log back in again and keylog your password when you do (there aren't any special protections there -- you can access it like any other field from privileged JS, and other extensions like password managers depend on this being the case), then use that to, in the background, change your password and recovery email, and then log you back out again. Any use of Chrome extensions that can execute scripts requires some degree of trust, for better or for worse.
Does your company require location services to be enabled, or disabled?

I've always kept it disabled for privacy reasons, and also that I've never seen much utility in it myself.

Jokes on us, our media is run by a faceless megacorp in another country anyway (News Ltd).
There are bars and restaurants and museums in hundreds of cities around the country. What makes the ones in SF so special? Or is it rather a tech gravity hole that was enabled by combination of chance and attractive climate?
This is desirable and it's easy to explain why. For any student there will be a range of grades they could expect to achieve. The fairest grade to assign is the best case grade in that range (not the midpoint), because there is no evidence that they would not have studied hard and achieved that grade in the exam. If every student is given their best case grade then you will indeed see an overall rise, this simply reflects a lack of knowledge of who would have studied hard and who would not have.
In other words social cost of fossil fuels is relatively low.

Without fossil fuels billions wouldn't be born, let alone live longer.

Those trusted intermediaries require a lot of identity information, usually by law. It’s nice to be able to transact privately sometimes.
I don't get why people don't just use something like 8m16d2020y. There, it's the same number of characters and clearly unambiguous even to someone who hasn't seen the format before.
Do More by Doing Less
Yes, exactly, thats why I asked, maybe there is a way. OP said Sales Side, so maybe he is Google's Ad Buying Client?
The biggest thing you are underselling (if at all), is that you can have a repl directly into the device itself and doing lots of exploratory programming directly in-circuit.
No, an effective MicroPython environment requires 32KB RAM and a couple of hundred KB of flash (it's possible to use less but the compromises are not worth it IMO).

So yes, it's not possible to use very small devices. Still, this means that MicroPython can run on reasonably small, reasonably cheap devices - and your development effort can be significantly reduced.
uigradients is really nice, although they only have linear gradients (which look really good). I created Gradient Magic to highlight the large variety of styles and patterns that are possible.

As far as an API goes, how would you organize the input/output for dynamic backgrounds? Maybe send a style and colors, and get a random gradient of that color?

I agree 100% but it clearly wasn’t computers or quantization that caused the shitward turn. I love Rick Beato as well but I think he’s conflating two different issues on this one.
Because WebAssembly allows you to sandbox the code, which you can't with regular assembly.
Open Letter to Australians from Google
In theory yes, but in reality the Australian-owned megacorps are all owned by a single person, and every single one of the media outlets they control endlessly pushes the political message of just one side.

So although they're "Australian owned", they're very far from good "neutral" sources of information.

(Source: am Australian)

EDIT: For those wondering, it's like virtually all of Australia's media being run by Rush Limbaugh. And he has a cozy relationship with the government, so all of this is just a way to force Google and FB to pay him more money.
Great work and I admire your dedication and work you put into this! How hard do you think it would for someone of average intelligence to fork it to support Vue or Svelte instead?
Of course the single best way to make the top more relevant is to block ads.

On YouTube, I highly recommend turning off personalization and watch history, especially if you find yourself spending too much time there clicking recommended videos. Without history, it will pretty reliably recommend the same videos again and again, which can help you realize when you have seen a lot and might want to stop.
I think there is a grand misunderstanding around my use of machine learning. Your first two suggestions have an assumption that the images weren't heavily modified before going into Artbreeder which was usually the case. or modified in a circular manner, Artbreeder>Photoshop>Artbreeder>Photoshop any kind of MD5 is lost. I could show a progres of each but it is absolutely enormous. Potentially hundreds of decision trees.

As for GAN bias: once in Artbreeder the skin tone is entirely my choosing. If there is a bias in the depiction it is my own bias. There might be a slight bias towards a white, brow-haired female but is is more of a gravity that can be avoided with a bit of skill. There is also a challenge in hair that is -for lack of a better explanation- hair made with human intervention (braids, tall wigs, cornrows, dreads etc).

AS for your last suggestion: I've already been thinking of making videos that show a transition of skin ton of lightest plausible to darkest plausible. Tiberius for example I have a very compelling version as a pale-skinned white dude or a dark-skinned person who looks indian/pakistani. Done in paintover/colorization in Photoshop --directly on the bust- where proportions match.

In the second version of the poster I actually challenged myself to do at least do a quick depiction of each emperor with dark skin. Version 1 my approach was to assuming an average based on place of birth. This time I experimented with assume-darkest-features possible simply to test my assumptions and question my biases. Although quick and not robust, I think it was of value.
It's funny this should come up on HN today, because just this week out of nowhere i thought i'd try Mutt again (after having been a Mutt user since mid-2000s, but switching to mu4e for the last ±5 years).

What i used to do back in the day, and appeared to work fine when i tested this weekend, is so-called flowed mode. [1] I think it's a controversial feature, because it's a brittle hack, but anecdotally an email i sent this weekend as a test displayed fine on an iPhone.

And indeed, i'm totally with you on wanting to use/send text email but not look like a freak with weirdly broken 80-char lines in paragraphs.

Exactly. It is strange how many people who know what A/B testing is and have done it themselves are surprised when politicians do the same.
I'm fairly close to this. I used to require almost exactly 4 hours of sleep a night, and getting more or less than that made me feel absolutely abysmal, but over the years it's jumped up to 5.5 hrs/night with it being slightly more forgiving about the range (from 4-6 hours I feel decently okay, best at 5.5 and worse as I fall away from that, but outside of that band I feel completely horrid). I get more rest than this, but the extra hours of rest are usually laying down listening to music or the occasional audio book.

I think the biggest agent of change is my autoimmune disease which has worsened over the years and now requires of me more rest and sleep maintenance.

Got a cruel reminder of all of this sleep-related business last night with the bay area thunderstorm waking me after only 3 hours of sleep and the storm and heat keeping me awake until my body screamed for a rare noon siesta.
I definitely found this with minecraft - building stuff there scratches the same itch as programming, so I mostly stopped doing it, since I'd rather make useful things than some random build in a world only I am ever going to see
Yeah the incoming smoke and rolling blackouts are just nails in the coffin confirming I'm making the right decision to move out. The whole bay area became so complacent riding the coattails of the technology industry, now there's a bit of a reckoning
Try Different Types of Jobs
I’m reminded of garbage collector blog posts where they do something stupid (“disable it”, “allocate a ballast”) and then get to spend a couple pages explaining why it worked for them.
Indeed. Emacs and Vim have both supported this for a long time. I used it in vim in the late '90s and Emacs usually got features like this before vim.

I was working on integrating a language with a "programmers editor" <name omitted to protect the guilty> and asked how to extend the editor to indent a new language. The response was "it should already support all C/Java like languages with the configuration format." My response "this isn't a C-like language". The community response "Uh, I guess write a plugin that installs a hook on the carraige-return key and manually position the cursor?" It blew my mind that anything billed as a programmer's editor couldn't be customized for doing this already...
EvE online taught me Excel, and Arbitrage.

I used the excel to get into a job as a developer helping an actuary, and the arbitrage to do market trading.
Maybe is case of large numbers you can compute digital root easier than the answer.

For example, 25 * 26 = 650, digital root 2. Or take digital root of 25 and 26 first, get 7 * 8 = 56, same digital root 2.
I think most people can agree that up until this point, burning fossil fuels have been a net positive. But as renewables get cheaper and more useful, at some point it becomes worth it to pay the cost of renewables rather than continue to have a ~1 year reduced life expectancy. So I think the most important comparison is renewables vs fossil fuels.
How did you make the move? Are you Japanese or Asian? I would love to move to Tokyo or similar but feel I would be discriminated against for being a dark skinned Indian male.
Sky News is almost more virulently ignorant and hateful than Fox News. I'm shocked Australia - a generally 'nice' country - is capable of producing something like this.
Personally, I don't like personalization.

I had a friend in middle school who was into rabbits for about a year. For the next several years, she got tons and tons of random rabbit stuff from people she knew who didn't know what else to buy her.

That's what personalization feels like to me. I can never find what I'm looking for because the algorithm is trying to pin me down into a category it thinks it understands, and those categories are always the wrong model of how I search.

The experience is much better when I use services that don't personalize.

Also you can't turn off personalization on Google unless you sign in. If you don't sign in, it still personalizes and there's nothing you can do about it.
They're not gaslighting. This is about News Corp (former owner of Fox News) and a few other multi billion dollar albeit unprofitable media companies using their political sway to extort Google. It will almost certainly result in a worse experience for consumers.
> Make is not a "wrapper" it's a "translucent layer on top of" since it doesn't hide the deps on the underlying tools.

For me, that's kinda the point. If (when!) the underlying layers break, I can open up the Makefile and see exactly what was called, without too much abstraction. It's not there to provide complex build options, it's to provide aliases to the commonly used commands in a platform agnostic way.

Most of my make commands are simply aliases for one or more commands, which are often something like `docker run --rm -it project_runner_image some_command`

There's some real problems with Makefiles in the form of tabs as the prefix, running everything as a shell, weird platform specific versions, etc - but I've yet to see anything else which is as small, as universally available, with such a low barrier to entry. Most of the other options I've seen so far (and I'll be the first to admit I haven't looked very hard) seemed to either be overly complex for simple dev setups, or bound to a particular language.
My main job is programming video games, not boring at all. Even for us Factorio is a perfect addiction. So much so our main game is a train tycoon version of factory automation.
I think you're right and we may be saying the same thing. Certainly most people consider cost vs quality of life. In SF this is particularly true for the younger people that are leaving. They just move back in with their parents, stop paying rent, and maybe will come back if/when things reopen.

My point was about the other group that is leaving: more established professionals / homeowners / parents. For that group, saving on housing in the short terms isn't actually a major factor. Many are likely moving to other expensive places. The main thing keeping them in SF was their offices, professional network, or their children. In other words they were in SF despite the declining quality of life. With those constraints gone, they are leavings en mass as well.

^ This.

I'm hearing heaps of people crying "Murdock" and "Newscorp" but how about local jobs and ownership vs a global conglomerate that doesn't give 2 f#%ks about our tiny 25 million population and takes $4.8 billion offshore while paying only $100 million tax[1].

The Australian Associate Press recently went bankrupt and needed a bailout from philanthropists[2]. As much as you dislike one particular section of old media it's essential that local media exists in a functional democracy. Google taking $4.8 billion of revenue out of the country strips these organisations of their funding without providing a replacement.

This alludes to an important hidden economic downside of being remote: it's tantamount to stalling career progression in the long run.
The truth is that most people just want a static website and use wordpress because they don't know better and then trivial things break for them and now half the web is broken. It is easier to create static websites by hand or using any other service imo, even for non-tech people. Dynamic websites are a different story but after almost 2 decades since word press I doubt there are no alternatives, wordpress just has a reputation and inertia.
Small blips compared to SFs greater history.

A 8.5+ earthquake would be a city changing event. Entire neighborhoods with URMs would probably no longer exist afterwards (Chinatown, Tenderloin, Soma, etc).
Once upon a time SF was expensive, but affordable enough for a bunch of non-tech folks right out of college to room together. Most of tech was down South so you had to want to be in the city. If the city reverts to a quirky countercultural moderately overpriced spot, minus some of the tech workers, it’s not the end of the world. And the rest of the US will benefit from more dispersed tech brainpower.
heh. food scene. i don't want a 'food scene.' i just want good food. i don't care if it's on 3 plates with sauce designs, i don't care if it looks like a beef-flower, or if it photographs well for my 'stream.'

btw the british school of cuisine is one of the most famous in the world. not scene-wise though, but good food is for eating, not instagram.

sf is definitely not known for tasty food. it's known for showing off food. good for bored tourists. not good to live there. and no, sf doesn't habe good greek food or middle-eastern food. i've been to greece and the middle east quite a bit, and they have better food at has stations.

sf is all show and hype. that's not what locals want.
Every couple of years I see a comment like this and give it another chance, but I honestly cannot tell a difference. Other than the annoyance it gives me with taking the contrast out of everything and de-colorizing my syntax highlighting. Maybe it makes the experience less attractive so I tend to use the computer less late at night, but other than that, what is the big deal?
I took a communications class many years ago, and the one lesson that stuck in my mind was this:

"When someone misunderstands what you said or wrote, who is responsible for the miscommunication? You are. They didn't misinterpret you, your communication was unclear."

I (mis)read your "all" in the same way as the other commenter, as a reference to "all people" (including, but not limited to your group of friends).

There have been many times when I've said something that others "misunderstood". It was a hard lesson to learn, but it has served me well to take responsibility myself for the miscommunication, apologize for being unclear, and try to state things in a less ambiguous way.

Neither of those rule out using MicroPython. Though you are likely to have to do some C work to achieve higher performance.

Yes jq is nice. I use jq to preprocess data I receive from a JSON API before inserting into a database. If runtime is not important then jq can be used to filter JSON but if speed matters then SQL is much faster.
A coal power plant in Thunder Bay, Ontario used to drive an otherwise decommissioned generator for the sake of having inertial mass to stabilize the frequency of the local supply.

I would imagine this is common practice in power generation in general.
>> This is a blip. It could be a major blip

So if it's a 10 or 20 year "major" blip does that make it longer than "temporary"?

Locals tend to go to museums once or never, lots of places have good bars and restaurants and the idea of SF having a proximity to real nature is a joke. I guess time will tell if you, I or someone else is ultimately correct, but the pull of SF was the jobs above all else; if that's gone then I'd argue there are much better places to live for the amenities. NYC is in a similar boat - you move there for the people and what they bring when packing too many people in too small a physical space. This doesn't seem what most are looking for now or in the near/mid term.
I suppose such is possible without digital roots. Let's try the same problem, but this time we'll multiply our constants by 3,571:

(x + 14284) (x + 14284)=

A: x^2 + 204032656x + 28568

B: x^2 + 204032656x + 204032656

C: x^2 + 28568x + 204032656

D: x^2 + 204032656x + 204032656

The digital root of the problem expression is 4. The digital roots of A, B, C and D are 4, 6, 4 and 3 respectively. The digital root of the square of 14284 is 1, and the digital roots of the last term of A and C are 2 and 1, respectively. The answer is C.

You didn't have anyone reviewing their code and mentoring them? No one reviewed their design before it went into production? If no, why not? If yes, why wasn't the problem caught then?

Coming to Factorio from a Scala/streaming/data background, I got the connection pretty immediately - so much of Factorio is about designing correctly for backpressure, such that your factory works stably at different levels of capacity and resource consumption. That said, I still never really got the knack of blueprints and large-scale planning, so I've got a long way to go still.
I've reached a point with typing where I can ~95% touch-type. This is fairly recent for me, let's say in the last two years. However, most of what I do with a keyboard is code, and I'm not convinced that touch typing speeds up my coding that much.

However, if I'm wrong I'd like to put in the effort to reach the final 5%, or even maybe switch to a different keyboard layout, or teach myself stenography.

Does anyone have any data or insight on touch typing/stenography and coding speed rather than typing speed?
I think that people do sometimes underestimate the valuable ethical effects of religious institutions in society. So I will give you that.

But I disagree in general with that you are saying because religion, individualism, and other issues you talk about are not actually bound together the way that you claim.

For example, there are plenty of people who are strongly individualistic in their worldview but also highly religious.

And there are secular worldviews that de-emphasize individualism or include strong community-oriented morals.

Also you try to pin this on technology, but actually technocratic thought is very popular and is a very socialist ideology (in fact I think too much so, but that is a different question).
It's obnoxious to approach such a complicated domain with the attitude that you are right and people who are thriving are wrong.
Maybe. The dynamics are very (very) complicated.

The mechanics you describe are not so much factors any more. Lenders don't keep properties on their books, too much risk and plenty of opportunity to sell and diversify. In that model, flows matter, not values.

And inflation- in my read inflation is due to a scarcity of money- it is an output of money scarcity, not an input- and what we have now is an abundance. So it is exceptionally unlikely.

But at a macro level, values are still extremely important. If there is perception of deflation, flow drops. And there are more govt structures set up to maintain values. I just have less confidence in their ultimate efficacy, and more confidence that politics will change and immigration policies will change and building policies will change.

Cheers.
