> There are loan words that are common in the English language

Common? Like most of them! For example, a huge number of words have a French origin due to the Norman conquest. A long list of Native American words have found their way into (American) English. English adopts words from other languages with wild abandon.
But why? I somewhat get the argument with waiters - they are paid shit wages, so somehow it became a cultural norm that customers have to subsidise waiters since their employers are too cheap to pay properly. Like, ok, I don't agree with it, but that's the system you build for yourself so that's the one you have to deal with.

But why taxi drivers? Why delivery drivers? Are those groups also poorly paid because they rely on tips? Why other social groups haven't adopted this? Are your electricians also charging $1 an hour of work and then expect that you leave a tip that saves them from poverty?
Another aspect is the bragging rights in a community of other fans. It's like a status symbol.
1917 wasn't completely white. There were multiple black soldiers in the trenches here and there, which was obviously done just because someone was uncomfortable with "completely white" cast. There is no other reason to do that. With the same logic there should be a white guy somewhere in the background in Wakanda, but there weren't any. That's what the parent comment wants to say.
> If it's in the same city, can students just keep living with their parents?

It's a pretty easy requirement to get out of if you know to expect it and are able to plan a bit. Parents in the same city are one option. If you already have a lease, that often suffices. I tested out of a few generals so that I wasn't technically a freshman when I started. Etc. There are loopholes for a lot of situations.

> I assumed that students living there was a way to save money or the parents wanted it. I had no idea it was required.

It shocked me at first too. I've talked to a lot of people trying to get a sense of the other side's perspective, and a large number of parents feel that the "college experience" is so beneficial that they don't feel anyone should be able to make the in-all-cases worse decision to live off campus..... It's a tiny bit similar to the mindset behind worker protections -- some deals are so bad that workers ought not to be able to make them in any circumstances. I don't agree in the slightest that students should be _forced_ to stay in a dorm and whatnot, but people who aren't me feel the opposite pretty strongly.

IMO a lot of oddities in the US university system can be explained (please bear with me) by assuming students are viewed by the larger system not as adults consciously making an investment but as children who need to be cautiously guided into the real world. You don't get to choose to live off campus because you aren't an adult and need to be protected from making the wrong choice. You need to make friends in the dorms because otherwise you won't be socialized for the real world. Teachers assign points for homework because it will give you an incentive to do it (because you're not an adult yet and can't make the right decisions without additional incentives). It's even solidified a bit in our laws and tax code -- financial aid must be available because college is an important part of transitioning into the workforce, and any available aid explicitly assumes you have an amicable relationship with your parents and that they will pay as much as they're able to help you through the last stage of your childhood.
Based on a study by Stanford, there are 5 types of corporate cultures in tech.

1. Star: Hire the best people, give them super luxurious offices and perks, let them do what they like. Something like Fog Creek, where interns get a luxurious hotel when called in for interview and get flown in via helicopter.

2. Engineering-based: The whole org chart architecture is based on pushing engineering as far as possible. Something like Google and Facebook, where management decisions are made based on data, and marketing is done from a perspective of "if you build a good product, it will be easy to sell."

3. Bureaucratic: Culture emerges from the middle managers. Job descriptions are clear cut. Often things like pay and perks follow a rigid formula and there are regular rituals and routines.

4. Autocratic: Similar to bureaucratic, but designed around one person, usually the CEO. Work, do what the boss says, get paid. Not necessarily evil, something like Steve Jobs comes to mind.

5. Commitment: Build the company as a place where people don't want to leave. Avoid firing anyone, often offering retraining for existing staff. Lifestyle perks - generous maternity leave, work from home options, training. Basecamp is a model company.

Some are hybrids, which usually does worse than the others by mixing the worst of both worlds. E.g. if you adopt a star culture, you probably can't adopt rigid project management, and you can't do two months maternity leave.

The others are not bad. E.g. Autocratic does the worst on average. But that doesn't mean it's wrong. I probably work in an autocratic environment and it's the best job so far. There's upsides, like management being fully aware of the product, development, marketing, and users.

You can probably reverse engineer interviews to see which they fit. An org chart will clearly point out most of these.

Yours sounds like it's not a star or commitment culture. But it could well be an engineering culture, which is not bad either.

I disagree. If you're making a claim that we are in an economic bubble, you can't claim victory if there's a stock market crash after twenty years. Similarly, if you're saying that only X years left before things take turn for the worse, you can't say, "Hey, I did say at some point it will." '500 days' is particularly funny since I don't see what climate models give such a definite timeline.

I don't think it hurts to rely on common sense a bit. There's absolutely no scientific reason to think that Britain will turn into Siberia in four years. Global cooling, which was a major fear, has long disappeared from Climate Change discussion.

Besides, there are many stories with definite timelines that portray the sentiments. For eg, food shortages and global cooling were major doomsday fears in 1970s.

I've used the Bluetooth one pretty extensively...it isn't crazy and seems to work as documented.

I've also used the MIDI one as well, good things to report, so long as the browser is supported, stuff seems to "just work"; and I'm doing it all from Debian.

So yes, I guess this is the future after all.
I'd be okay buying a new OLED monitor every year if they were available in the format I want (large ultrawide) and with low latency scalers, high refresh reates and without privacy destroying "smart" features plaguing TVs. Anything to get out of the crappy tradeoffs there are with backlit displays.
Bluetooth API won't give useful fingerprinting information
unless the user allows it with a very obtrusive prompt.

It's not something that's useful to the majority of websites, but I find it extremely useful for hobby ESP32-based electronics projects. It gives an easy way to configure individual boards, with no weird captive WiFi portal required. It's cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, just not iOS), and no native app required, an an easy-to-use API. This means means a lot less development overhead for my hobby projects. And it means I can give devices to family & friends without them needing to fiddle with firmware to configure the device.

Workplace english is only bad english when there is poor communication. I've been happy with my results of using business english in many EU countries (the underlying transactions having had little to do with central standards of either orthography or grammar), and as far as I can tell, the only people who judge "good" or "poor" english as more important than good communication are those anglophones who view themselves as "middle class."

That said, agreed that there's probably more progress necessary for a true creole. (What language do people normally speak on vacation? Many of tourists who come here try english if they're not entirely comfortable in a local language.)

This article certainly rings a bell, as I started rewriting my personal projects to C in the last year, precisely because I wanted to make them decades-proof. I still use the same vimscripts I wrote in early 2000', I want the same thing for all my tooling and apps.

I'm not sure it makes sense professionally, though, as most codebase won't survive a decade : after three years, the dev team will turn over, and the new team will want to rewrite everything from scratch. Or start rewriting parts of the exisiting system in a new language, until it ultimately eat it up. It may be related to the kind of companies I work with, though (very early stage startups).

Regarding interfaces, I think the author could have gone a step further. There is actually a standard and portable interface system: html/js/css. If you write a dependency free web app using things like webcomponents and other standard techs, you know it will stand time, and it actually matches all the reason why the author want to use C : standard and multiple implementations.

I wouldn't say every language is worth saving in "my view"

But "losing a language" (losing all the users except those studying it) could lead to some loss of the convey of certain unique culture (that can only be represented accurately in that language)

Having one language only is either (1) A group of people forcing every people in the world using it or (2) All people in the world are willing to give up using all other languages

For (1), it's not what myself and many people want as it means our freedom is taken away.

For (2), I think it's unlikely to happen as different languages have different specialties in representing some concepts. Having one language only probably means some concepts cannot be well communicated.

I can speak Cantonese (Hong Kong version), English and read some Japanese (enough for my games & comics). I would never give up any of them.

Agree India should have been included. But they measured deaths per capita and I think India is still very low on that scale.

Could be more interesting to include both deaths and hospitalized or do another comparison but then include all void-19 cases in each country.

Obviously, you don't play golf. Scratch that. Obviously, you've never been to Singapore.

I have very fond memories of walking out of the air-conditioned shopping mall above the Waterfront MRT station and then walking through Mount Faber Park, Henderson Waves, Southern Ridges Park, Kent Ridge Park, and then back into an air-conditioned shopping mall at Kent Ridge MRT.

I took one of those walks almost every day, and in many cases co-workers or friends decided to join, because with the MRT system it's just so easy to quickly zip over to nature in your lunch break.

It's difficult to access this objectively, but I'm 100% convinced that this was a major factor in making my time in Singapore some of the most productive months I've ever had.

Also in Italy, the town squares were usually full with families and the elderly, sipping coffee and reading newspapers. But it was well understood that just by being there, they signal that they're available for you to just talk to people. Again, I felt like the strong communal spirit of having talked to 100+ neighbors in your village was fantastic, even if you only did small-talk about the newspaper.

Now if you could reduce the depression rate and related issues by 10% with a new well-maintained park. That'd be a significant GDP boost, so the economic value of such parks is probably in the billions of $$$.

Great quote. And yes, that certainly highlights that he wasn't paying her for sex directly, but rather for the power derived from it.
Ensure you're tracking whether the populace is taking additional measures that are not mandated, and suddenly it starts to explain the error almost completely.

Remember, policies do not execute themselves, and lack of policy does not imply lack of action.

Other problems are also caused by wrong, simplistic models. E.g. SEIR might have estimated the total death count correctly, but not the timing or location at all. (Because the model is isotropic.)
Plugging in annualized data for various airborne viruses into a Bayesian anomalous diffusion model gives much closer timings. Though there are a few models with varying base assumptions and the estimator used a mixture. (One using Spanish flu, next using common cold, another using seasonal flu. Separately the worst case is... common cold variant.)

Podcasters could save ~10% on Patreon fees and maybe even gain some useful dedicated RSS tools and membership perks that would work inside a podcast app.
