Well this is more than a good-old-days argument. Highly homogenized architecture nationwide really took off in the 80's as did the prevalence of franchises and the consolidation of department and grocery stores.
These seem to be the ground rules for a high school debate, not sure if they are adequate to the troubles in these times.

First there is a body of work on political "science" which is not quite physics or chemistry but is closer to "science" than it is to Scientology that is the backdrop of what is possible.

Here are two semesters worth of lectures from Ian Shapiro which for me are a "required curriculum" for those who want to talk about reforming politics at a fundamental level:

> Shopify Merchants are selling roughly $80B a year, at least 5x WooCommerce merchants. Paying Shopify 20% means you net at least three times higher monthly revenues over paying WooCommerce zero commission.

This seems a weird way to calculate potential eCommerce platform plugin profits because (unless you are a payment gateway), the quantity of stores is more important than the volume those stores sell, and WooCommerce is by far the most popular eCommerce platform.

For example, Kylie Jenner's Shopify store has approx. $330mm[1] in revenue a year as far as I can tell, but that's only going to translate into one potential plugin purchase.

I'm curious about something. To those who have used advanced note-taking methods over a period of say a few years:

Has the method itself helped you in producing work that, without said method, would not have been possible or would have been much more difficult?

For zettelkasten, the one person for which the method demonstrably led to tangible results was Niklas Luhmann himself. Outside of that one data point, I'm hard pressed to find any other real-life examples.

How does Rich Hickey approach note-taking? Or John Carmack?

Keeping your Vitamin D levels in check becomes even more of a challenge if you're not normocalcemic. In my case, Vitamin D levels always turn out to be almost unmeasurably low when I get bloodwork done. If I then supplement high doses of Vitamin D in response to that, the level rises only slightly, and my Calcium level goes up even more than it already is.

In my view, James Altucher is very close to what I would consider a "fraud" / "scammer". e.g. He was running a dubious business to get people invest in stocks and cryptocurrencies a while ago.

See what Naval Ravikant did after recording a podcast with him: he essentially asked the podcast to be removed, as he didn't want to associate his name with Altucher again.

I doubt that Jerry Seinfield needs to pay too much attention to what that guy writes.

1. Who has been banned? AFAIK the league has actually incurred large monetary losses for their position on China.

2. On the contrary, it is very easy to see why the NBA is cautious. The Chinese care about it and so the NBA does not want to spark any more controversy. Can you explain how this isn't just common sense re: operating in a foreign country? Are international companies operating in the US "compromised" if they don't comment on US affairs?
I agree with you that by controlling both sides of the FFI (the Rust and the C++ code) one can make sure that the types work.

The real problem is, however, that C++ lacks an "unsafe" keyword, so functions like:

/// # Unsafe
///
/// Must call `bar` after a sequence of calls to `foo`
unsafe fn foo();
fn bar();

just look like

/// note: must call bar after a sequence of calls to foo
void foo();
void bar();

You can autogenerate "correct" C++ code from that Rust code (just loose the "unsafe"), but you cannot autogenerate safe Rust code from that C++ code unless you start parsing and understanding documentation comments (which could be possible, e.g., chromium could annotate C++ APIs that should be unsafe in Rust).

To generate Rust from C++, it does not suffice to just "look at the types" like cxx and autocxx do. One also _at least_ need to read all the API documentation comments, check if there are any invariants that must be preserved, and act accordingly.

If the APIs are ok and can be wrapped mechanically, the actual wrapping can be made trivial with tools, but there is no tool today that will tell you whether this is the case.

That is, at the end of the day, if you need to expose 10k C++ APIs from Rust, you will still need to manually inspect those 10k C++ APIs, and _think_ about whether they are safe or not.

That's the time consuming part, and you actually want to only do this once, and write down why an API is safe or not, so that other programmers don't have to repeat this work every time you hit an FFI issue.

So IMO while cxx and autocxx are "ergonomic", they spare you only the easy lest time consuming portion of the work. autocxx also makes it easy for you to either not check, or not write down the result of the check, and this could end up creating a lot more work down the road.

---

Note that this is something one wants to do even when one trusts that the C++ code is correct. In the example above, the C++ APIs can be correct, but one can still UB by using them incorrectly.
Every jurisdiction regulates financial institutions for good reasons (yes, also some bad reasons). While a great deal of misbehavior does persist under regulation (Wells Fargo, etc), it’s a fraction of what we would see if they were not or could not be regulated.

Inspectable and freezable payments systems are one core part of the infrastructure that enables regulation. The point at which it looks like Blockchain technologies are successfully enabling an alternative financial system that’s not subject to these controls is the point at which blockchain technology gets severely constrained by law.

Intermediaries aren’t always a bad thing. Stock settlement intermediation was transformative for the securities industry, greatly increasing the liquidity of the market.

Congrats to the successful pivot. At this point giving demand validation another try instead of shutting down makes a lot of sense, given you already invested heavily and had a list of potential users. Happy to hear it worked.
This gives people a chance even if it is the government who is going after them, to turn the tide around.

Yeah, I do think it might be interesting (if somewhat of a backwards compatibility problem) to introduce the concept of an "unsafe macro." Along with https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2585 it would really emphasize the proof obligation-vs-discharge model of `unsafe`.
I get so frustrated when people act like these food delivery services aren’t a WAY better user experience than the old version of having to call for delivery.

So many times, I will be super busy with the kids, or work, or housework, and I will just pull up DoorDash with one hand (while the other is feeding a hangry 1 year old) and hit ‘reorder’ on one of my past meals. Literally 15 seconds and food is on the way.

Compare this to having to call someone, wait on hold, give my phone number/address, tell them my order, correct the mistakes, find my wallet, get out my credit card, give them the number, confirm the number and expiration and security code, then sign a paper copy with the tip when the driver drops it off.

Can I do the old style of delivery? Sure, but man it is a lot easier now.
I thought of that movie also. Although half fiction, it's a wonderful flick; I highly recommend it for anybody frustrated with their position in life.

Re: "The movie portrayed Salieri as a man who could barely play. When that was just not true at all."

That was the King, not Salieri, as I remember it. But Salieri's playing did lack the flair that Mozart's had, as shown. However, the King himself seemed to prefer Salieri's simpler style, based on various conversations.

In actuality, Salieri was probably financially more successful than Mozart, but less remembered, so there is an element of truth to it.

In general Mozart's music did tend to please musicians more than regular audiences. He was perhaps a bit ahead of his time. This is similar to Beethoven, who was probably considered to be in the top 10 at the time, but not the greatest of his era. Beethoven practically invented the so-called Romantic era, so to some he was doing "weird stuff". It took a while for mainstream to "get" Jimi Hendrix also. I know it's a politically-incorrect cliche, but pioneers often do take arrows in the back.
I have to disagree with you here, but I am reformed, not Roman Catholic so I may have different beliefs than others you've come across. Christians believe marriage was established by God in the beginning of time. The ten commandments and other laws contain laws particularly for married individuals. Christ presided over a marriage in the New Testament. Paul gives advice in Ephesians as to how husbands and wives should treat each other. Paul's advice in Corinthians is related to his status as a lifetime single, fully devoted to spreading the gospel as an apostle of God, and I think it gives relief to those who don't find a partner in life. I don't think it's appropriate to single out this one section to stand as the Bible's entire stance on marriage. The other examples provide the biblical view that marriage is a gift from God, intended, as all things were, to reflect His glory back to Him. As for marriage in heaven, I don't know enough about the theology around the New Heavens and New Earth to say, but I know marriage is intended to be a picture of Christ and His Church and we will ultimately be "married" to Christ in eternity. Constantly praising and in awe of His Glory. So considering that, I would say there is no longer the need for the covenant of earthly marriage.

Practically speaking, being adequate at everything is as overwhelming as being great at everything. Different people have different things they consider essential. Some people consider self-defense essential; I would put sewing higher on the list. Overseeing a group of children seems like a fundamental skill, but I will never have the opportunity to learn it until the first time I need it. I don't have the genetics to sing, and I don't enjoy playing a musical instrument enough to make the hundreds of hours of practice worthwhile. Cutting my hair also has a learning process with unacceptable costs.

Basic social dancing: I took the classes, but they didn't stick.

Bushcrafting. Haskell. Fixing wiring in a house. Leveling ground. Driving a standard transmission. (I did it once twenty years ago, but presumably I could not do it again without instruction.)

Sharpening knives? I use my kitchen knives every day, but the guy at the farmer's market does a perfect job for practically no money.

Playing bridge: I don't even know why my brain thinks this is a fundamental skill. I don't know anybody who plays bridge. But, irrationally, it feels like one of the more important things separating me from being James Bond.

Ultimately you have to pick a small subset even of the basics, and I have a hard time seeing that big a difference between the realistic approach of learning a few things that are particularly important to you and not learning anything at all outside your profession. Sure, it makes sense to put effort into the things that are important to you. I know plenty about cooking, for example. But I still lack the skills to produce or maintain 97% of the things that are essential for my complicated daily life. Is there a big difference between 99% and 97%? Or even between 97% and 90%?

But now I'm thinking about sewing again. Someday....

If you need the seeds to reproduce my results, then the results aren't worth the PDF they're printed on. [edit: typo]
The act of being a "US Company" in the modern world is meaningless, every company that operates in the US is a US company and every company that operates in China is a Chinese company - that's the truest way to view things and it makes corporate nationality meaningless.

The barrier to move HQs and the like is so insanely low for large corporations that companies will gladly do it for even the most marginal tax benefits - a company might even consider hosting a "beauty contest" where they try to get cities to outbid each other in a sick game that deprives everyone of their tax revenue. Of course such an act (both on the company's side, and on the side of cities who decide to participate) is a clear signal of moral bankruptcy - but that's no surprise since America considers cheating other people to be the greatest virtue.

It took me a couple of weeks to realize Nim’s semantics are really different. Despite that Nim feels like an alternate reality of Python 2 -> 3 that went more lispy and a bit Pascal-ish. It gives me the old Python 2.7 vibe. Though I’d still prefer ‘def’ to ‘proc’ but that’s pretty minor to me.

It’s interesting to see how well the typed Python syntax maps to a static implementation of Python. The speed should probably be a lot faster than CPythin too for many cases.
I setup a local docker cache using a docker image. The transition to HTTPS everywhere makes caching this sort of thing difficult. One has to install and often manually configure trusted certificates on every client to maximize the cache.

APK and APT caches often come hand-in-hand for this sort of thing as the logical next step is to add some OS packages to the pulled image. This also benefits from local caching and also means frustrating cache setup, certificate setup, etc.

To maximize local caching there's a lot of manual work to setup a house-of-cards series of proxies that only work on the network. Setting it up on a laptop then traveling means everything breaks in not-so-obvious ways when you leave the network.

Either way, you really need a better breakdown to understand how good or bad this is. Even something as basic as COGS or gross margin will tell you how sustainable (or not) the business is.

Just because the losses are scaling with revenue growth doesn’t mean the business is unsustainable. It could just mean they’re sinking a ton of money into sales/marketing/r&d because they view their market as a land rush.

The virtual list make ctrl+f not working anymore, and I hate every single react page using it.
Suddendly, on this webpage using virtual list, you ctrl+f something, dont find it, because the element does not exist.

A vue or angular manage your 60k elements list without any issue, you dont need to virtualize your list, and the search feature your your browser keep working.

And if your don't use a virtual list, react get performance issues starts when you get only a few hundreds of elements and you want to filter them.

Also, it start 'instantly' with other frameworks, not in 3 seconds, but below 500ms.
The profit motives have to be taken out of news. 24-hour news networks are cancers on society and have virtually no benefits. Until that is achieved, we'll continue treading different paths that all lead to the same destination. Increasing funding to something like PBS is a good start.
Yes Docker seems to be struggling as a company. But I doubt Podman has anything to do with it. The adoption of Docker open-source tools is massive and 99% of its users have never heard of podman or any other clones, and likely never will. The problem is simply that those tools are free, and Docker has failed to convert the success of their free tools into a successful business.
I'm concerned about the effect on people who find meaning in the work they do. It's similar to how AlphaGo caused Lee Se-dol to retire. Once AI surpasses humans, a lot of work will seem meaningless, even if it previously gave meaning to people's lives.

> Employing dedicated software developers is simply not a thing that happens

This is a really key point that is lost on devs outside of science looking in. In our case, good devs are out of budget by a factor of 2x at least (at an EU public university in a lab doing lots of computational work).

The best we get are engineers which are expected to keep the cluster running, order computers, organize seminars.. and eventually resolve any software or dev problems. This doesn’t leave much time for caring about reproducibility outside the very core algorithms. The overall workflow can fade away since the next post doc is going to redo it anyway.
You can sue about anything. The more interesting question is whether they have a case.

Is this supposed to be surprising? Virtually every large corporation is going to have some synergy with its host country(s). For oversight, compliance, etc. Of course, this relationship is obfuscated in the US, but there is a well-known "revolving door" between Corporate HQs and Washington D.C.

For example, Jigsaw is GOOG's geopolitical "think/do tank". Jigsaw CEO Jared Cohen is a Bush-era State Dept alum and current Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow. Jigsaw Director of Policy Scott Carpenter is currently on the board of the infamous National Endowment for Democracy. The NED in turn uses federal resources to back regime-change efforts in foreign countries, primarily through public media campaigns.

These are but two "Wikipedia-tier" examples and should be deeply concerning to those who purport to care about this issue from a libertarian values perspective as opposed to one of vindictive geopolitical poop-flinging.
