Don't believe their narrative. Go back to any episode in the 2009/2016 range and you'll notice a significant difference on the amount of time they spent discussing politics and criticizing the government vs. just 'deconstructing' the media. Weirdly - for a media deconstruction podcast - they rarely had any criticism of right-wing media, they even came to an agreement at some point about explicitly ignoring right-wing media.

The 'purely media deconstruction' script was adopted when a Republican they liked became president. Suddenly the show became exclusively about criticizing the media's coverage of the Trump administration and all criticism of government was dropped or became about 'optics'.

Someone with a cynical streak would conclude that they always had an agenda.
I have a 1964 recording of Bach's Two and Three Part of Inventions in which the piano emits an audible double-tap hiccup/echo throughout the middle register. It is pretty maddening. If I recall correctly from the CD liner notes (remember those!), Gould apparently loved the character of the piano and how close it was in character to harpsichord so much that the hiccup was somehow alright with him. Which is completely bizarre to me because it sounds like such a huge and obvious "bug". I wonder if Edquist worked on or had an opinion on that piano.
Do you really want to shift this conversation to whether or not forced labor is justifiable if the people subjected to it are deserving of their imprisonment?

I didn't realize that basic humanity like 'don't enslave people' is contingent on what those people have, or have not done.
> Holy cow, I really like this. Super simple.

Thanks! You have no idea how nice that is to hear. Making something work is one thing, making it simple is another. A lot of effort went into designing it to be simple, so reading that, you've given me a lift. :)

> I think you need to adjust pricing to differentiate between big corporate users and small developers

Thanks for the pricing feedback, that's incredibly useful as well.

> I expect I'd run into roadblocks quickly without some customizability. The trick for you is to figure out how to add some of that without losing your main value prop, which is simplicity.

> In particular, I'm sure I would want to customize screens ... Also, consider supporting Postgres.

Great feedback. Moving forward anything is possible, but a lot is going to depend on this kind of great feedback. I need to focus on the new features that users need for their deployments. I'm hoping to learn what these valuable required enhancements are by engaging with the users who try out the tool.

"Screen customizing" would currently include being able to reorder fields, whether individual fields are visible or invisible and editable or read-only on the view/edit/create pages. Also whether the fields are visible as columns in the main display table, and whether those columns are sortable. And there's also the ability to choose appropriate editor widgets based on data type when appropriate (date-pickers, drop-down lists, and so on).

The "Create an Application" video tutorials on www.dataspeeder.com/support show a lot of these features.

Thanks again for taking the time to write!

I'm one of these "mountain people" so I see a lot of what's true in this article, but there's also a flip side: Mountain people look out for each other on the mountain. I've never lived in a place before where there's such a strong sense of helping out one's neighbors as there is here in the mountains of NM. We plow each others' driveways when it snows; we help older neighbors run errands; we respond to 911 calls by volunteering at the local fire department. It's a nice feeling of both community and privacy at the same time.

I have and the article starts off with the assumption that it hasn't and then ties itself in knots to reach that conclusion.

The network speeds have increased, network latency has decreased, the hardware has gotten faster and we're at best stuck in the same place we were in 2010.

>Page weight has increased over time, but so has bandwidth. Round-trip latency has also gone down.

>Downloading a file the size of the median mobile website would have taken 1.7s in 2013. If your connection hasn't improved since then downloading this much data would now take 4.4s. But with an average connection today it would only take 0.9s.

The problem today is that the average website sends a couple dozen to a couple of hundred requests to complete a load. The average website 10 years ago sent a couple to a couple of dozen requests for the same thing.

So after 10 years of constantly improving technology and spending $5000 on phones to keep up with the latest CPUs the performance is pretty much the same.

Imagine if you had to buy a new car every 5 years to drive at the speed limit. That is the situation we are in.

I just tried titanoboa and it's not even close to Zapier. n8n comes pretty close and it's much more convenient to hack with nodejs.

n8n is pretty neat as a low-code or no-code tool and comes close to zapier in many cases.

As someone with zero Java experience, this tool seems like a very steep learning curve.

Zapier requires zero coding knowledge for most part and is a great no-code tool.
I dislike internet flamewars with glib calls for "source pls", but this seems like a pretty extraordinary claim to make with no substantiating evidence. Over 1000? According to who? I found this wapo article from 2012: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fair-food-program-he... It says the justice dept prosecuted 7 cases since 1997. It says over 1000 people were affected. Are you counting each person as an instance?
Even being able to write your name was uncommon through the 1600's. Literacy has changed a lot in the last 200 years.

In 1500's(14?) Spain, being able to read and write got you better than "I'm a computer programmer in 2000" prospects. Being able to read silently, without even moving your lips(!?!), got you rumors of deals with the Devil. Now you get to graduate primary-school, and eventually learn programming. Before the recent vast expansion in programming jobs, lots of science phds were driving cabs. Veterinary masters clean cages in zoos. Minimum viable education has been seriously escalating. Even with everything still being taught very very badly. If education tech ever dramatically improves... that'll be interesting.

Oh, sorry, I don't think the WM supports this today. I only meant that it could support it "trivially" (I put that in quotes since I don't know how WM is implemented. But in theory it would be easy to hash all their content and add an endpoint that maps from hashes to URLs).

My point was that you could add an addressing system that is both independent of the Wayback Machine, but which you could still (theoretically) use with it. But you'd have to add the facility to the WM.

So China had a one child policy that only applied to Han Chinese, which is the dominant ethnic group of the country.

Now they relaxed the requirement to 2 and applied it to everyone. Of course it's now immediately a genocide. The previous one, despite harsher limits and usage of the same methods, is evidently not.

They're nice and smooth on my Ryzen 5 4500U/Vega 6 with 8GB of RAM. Of course the 5 seconds of artsy chaos spinner each of them has on load is still absurd. But it's fine after that. Could it be the browser? I loaded them in Firefox.
Same concept, but the tl;dr is that no, you can't, unless you're talking hydro from a dam in a good location. It's not just a not-so good idea, it's an orders-of-magnitude-awful idea when you compare it to just about any other form of energy storage per dollar.
I would argue this the most likely case - I do similar with movies. It's usually not until the 2nd or even 3rd time through a movie I'll really pay attention and 'understand' the plot, I spend a lot of time focused on the background and technical aspects, trying to pick up on Easter eggs for instance, or marvelling at how well something was shot.

You can ask me how I liked the movie, but it's highly unlikely I'll have any idea what happened or even the characters' names, but you bet I'll be remembering a certain shot, a piece of music, maybe the way a prop worked. Am I enjoying the movie wrong? Or just enjoying it in my own way?

(Just to throw out an anecdote, my high school physics teacher had us watch the 1998 movie Contact over a couple classes. That scene near the beginning after the father collapses, where our main character runs upstairs to the bathroom for medicine, I don't know what it was about that shit but it stuck with me for a long time. It was about 5 years later I finally sat down and watched the movie, twice back to back actually, that I realized what was going on and couple appreciate the film even further)
I mean, imprisonment itself is a pretty severe restriction. If you're proposing that even deserving criminals should be treated as well as you and I, I don't have a tremendously convincing refutation, other than to note that it implies much more radical changes than simply ending prison labor.
Certainly seems like a pro consumer move but has there been any impact of this on sales of these products.

Consumers will buy something that gives them good value at a cheap price.

For a lot of products it is not even the cost factor, like mechanical keyboards. Somehow the best ones are either brands from there itself like Varmilo or made there like Leopold.
Is the resentment coming from childless people and directed at parents? Or is it coming from parents and directed at childless? Anecdotally I see a lot more of the latter in this thread.

It reminds me of a time when a co-worker complained in a semi-anonymous work channel how it was a problem that some of his other team members worked 9am to 8pm and contributed way more than the other team members. The rationale was that this made other team members feel uncomfortable. This baffled me. If I work 9-5 and someone else puts in 60 hours a week I can empathize with the insecurity of this juxtaposition to a degree, but it seems nonsensical to complain about it.

It's like if you're in a band, and a couple of the team members practice really hard and play way better than the other band members. This behavior is actively helping the group, if some members feel insecure about their relative levels of commitment then their insecurity the the problem - not the dedication of other members.

Things change when you factor in competition for rewards and recognition. Definitely this makes it harder for people with more obligations outside of work to contribute. But I'm not sure if this makes for effective justification to adjust our expected contribution to get the same reward. If someone came up to me and said that they volunteer at a homeless shelter for 30 hours a week and this cuts into how much they can put into work, I'd compliment them on their selflessness but point of that these actions are selfless precisely because these commitments involve sacrificing other opportunities. Choosing to become a parent is analogous.

Not to mention, society already does give parents greater rewards in the form of tax deductions and government services paid for by all taxpayers regardless of whether or not they have children.
Thanks for sharing. Their emphasis on the neglectedness of an issue and focusing on the margins is great.
I can confirm that the NFL Chef cookbooks were great. I worked at the NFL and previously introduced Chef at a startup beforehand. The biggest issue I had at the startup were application developers cutting corners when creating ANY infrastructure code, not just Chef recipes. The devil IS the details when it comes to infra code, and the lack of detail, not the tool itself can really bite you.
Going from your last post.

> the structure of the wavefunction is that it divides cleanly into those two branches, and that's true in any basis.

It's not. It only has this Schmidt decomposition in one basis. In other bases there will be cross terms among the basis elements. What you're doing is privileging Schmidt bases as ones that give experiences. In another basis with states w,z say the state will be:
|w>|w> + |z>|z> + |w>|z> + |z>|w>

So you won't be able to give this clean "experience" reading unless you posit we can't experience in things like the w,z basis here and only in Schmidt bases, but then you run into the problem that for real macroscopic systems they won't admit a Schmidt basis.

This seems like the kind of a "vague" Many Worlds where one doesn't look any deeper than pretending a macro-device is a qubit (e.g. no thermal states etc) and looking at one basis. There's a reason properly developed MWI is nothing like this such as the Spacetime State realism of Wallace and Timpson.

Why one would believe in quantum state realism at all is a separate question.

>Of course you can

No you can't, it's a direct consequence of the Kochen-Specker theorem. If the device is treated quantum mechanically and it enters an entangled state of the form you gave then you cannot perform conditioning as the Kochen-Specker theorem, via the non-uniqueness of Hilbert space orthogonal decompositions, prevents an unambiguous formulation of Bayes's law. I can link to papers proving this if you wish.

The fact that we do experiments where we can condition is, in light of this theorem, a demonstration that our measurement devices do not enter into the kind of CHSH states you're giving.

I'm not sure it's such a bleak world.

If anything, CLIs are thriving on Macs and Linux boxes (in the cloud). Few people of my generation (70s/80s) would have ever predicted a whole new generation of hipster programmers and web designers today who think nothing of dropping to bash and ssh'ing and running npm. Or using vim and REPLs. We thought the whole world would go full GUI by the early late 90s (and it has, yet the console has continued to dominate).

Kids these days are more comfortable with the command-line than a whole generation of Windows programmers before them.

As for AS/400, I can't say I've interacted with it too much apart from a few brief occasions interfacing with DB2 on AS/400 and it was less than elegant (involved lots of emulation). We had a hard time building anything on top of it. The interoperability of AS/400 with non-IBM systems didn't seem to be that great, even though the system itself was rock-solid and ran mission-critical workloads extremely reliably.

I do miss the warm glow of a Turbo Vision IDE (I wrote my first real TUI application on Borland Paradox 4.0) and how quickly one could zip around and get stuff done.
I see your point, but... Movies are (largely) by definition well-funded with people who make union wages whether they do a bad job. Parent seemed a little flippant to me considering that the work discussed is a labor of love used by millions, but remunerated by (maybe) thousands
I'm 47, no children, and have worked in tech most of my adult life. And I have NO resentment towards any parents who ask for, and receive, a certain amount of accommodation to deal with having their children at home during such an unusual time. And I can't even begin to grok the mindset of the people who do harbor that kind of resentment. WTF? Have you people not heard of compassion, understanding, or just basic human dignity? FFS, already.

So somebody else might get a couple of percentage points more on their bonus than you think they "deserve". And if bonuses come from a fixed pool, that means less for you. Well, wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, cry me a river. There's more to life than fixating on every dollar you could possibly be paid.

And consider what kind of accommodation you might be looking for, asking for, or even expecting, sometime in the future when something extraordinary happens. There are reasons we have all those old cliches about "the shoe being on the other foot" and "the table turning" and so on...
I'm going to print this out and frame it.

Yeah I am pretty sure Amazon works with most of their shippers because you can usually see all your shipping status information right in Amazon itself without having to leave Amazon to go view it. And like you mentioned there also are delivery notifications.

In fact the shipping company Amazon typically uses in my area takes pictures of their deliveries. So I get an email from the delivery company with a picture, but then Amazon also allows me to view the delivery picture on their site too and notifies me of the picture.

With how much server power Amazon has, I can't imagine them being afraid to make some API calls.

Indeed. I don't think you could or should hash the DOM - not least of which because it is, in general, the structured output of a program. Ideally you could hash the source. This might be a huge problem for single page applications, except you can always pre-render a SPA at any given URL, which solves the problem. (This is done all the time - the most elegant way is to run e.g. React on the server to pre-render, but you can also use another templating system in an arbitrary language, although you end up doing all features maybe not twice, but about 1.5x).
I use troff (groff) under Linux. The really freaky thing is that you already have groff on your Mac -- it's installed by default.
I was a huge fan of Wordstar 6! Wrote so much with that thing ... way better than Word, Pages etc. even still. It's no wonder I prefer Markdown for writing / documents etc.

You could also implement this pretty easily in FUSE: if the dirent is present on the underlying (ext or whatever) filesystem, just forward the operations, otherwise leave the syscall blocked and hunt down the relevant backup. I don't know that anyone's actually written that, though.

During the 4.X and 5.X era at WP, the company paid very close attention to the needs of the legal market and WP could do things with a couple of keystrokes that would take 10 minutes with MS Word.

WP also had a potent macro capability and a good macro editor as well. I was practicing law at this time and had created 80-99 WP macros that made legal docs appear like magic.

There was no e-filing and court clerks and judges could be more than a little picky about the formatting of the paper documents they received. If a doc wasn’t formatted in the proper manner, some clerks would refuse to file it and return the doc to the lawyer’s office for a re-do.
Indeed; I'm not sure why exactly so few of the CAES plants have been built, it's well understood, has minimal safety problems, and doesn't seem unreasonably expensive. If I had to wager an uneducated guess, workable salt mines may not be located anywhere the power pricing makes sense for long term storage offsetting like that.

I think they two people were referring to the mother and child. Some of these examples are a little confusing without the details of how much is child support vs spousal maintenance, who has custody and is providing the care, etc.

I was shocked to learn that spousal maintenance was a thing with no kids in the picture. However, when there are kids involved, I feel like child support is probably not enough!

Most people on this site can already work a 40-ish hour week and not get fired. They also probably won’t advance as quickly as someone with equal talent/ability who puts in extra hours when needed.

It would offend many (including me) if the law prohibited people from working as hard/long as they wanted.

If you want legal protection to prevent being you fired specifically because you don’t want to work more than 40 hours a week, I’d 100% support that. If you want legal protection to prevent me from working harder than that, I’m 100% opposed.
Ah that makes sense. I doubt you're wrong.
