yeah I don't understand why the react team made such an API. It's literally service locator an anti-pattern. I started to think maybe it's best not to use mobx nor react for dependency injection and usehigher order functions/components in a poor man's DI manner is the most sustainable way forward. Because you can inverse control everything not just UIs/observables. Or use a separate lib like inversify or aurelia/dependency-injection

> It’s just industry is better at generating wealth than academia

Ok... And almost by definition, that means that industry (and therefore industry jobs) is more useful to society. Because it is generating more wealth.
I wonder if we have a westworld file on us out there with all of our stats. It would be interesting to a degree what type of familial influence has on those stats (environment, socioeconomic circumstances ect).
And is that bad? Sex is a natural process, just like taking psychedelics. We don't need to regulate or control sex beyond some very simple ground rules (age limits), so why do we have to regulate or control psychedelic use?

Just like sex, taking psychedelics is a (mostly) safe, natural process, with an important effect on the individual's maturation.
Developers work in many different companies, and most of them don't make products that can, or could in even in theory make enough money to make paying as much worthwhile. It's a chicken and egg problem.
I'd rather take "extra comma" failure than "extra space" space failure. First one can be caught by any IDE, second one will take you a couple of minutes to find out (when building CI for example).
That would be more efficient, but GPUs were banned to level the playing field between extremely rich and slightly less extremely rich teams.

Of course, the people who made that rule probably just looked at the cost of a GPU vs the cost of a CPU without realizing that per operation GPUs are much cheaper to run.

EDIT: I originally heard this on Reddit and after looking I can't find any real sources, so this could be inaccurate.

This is what I've always been curious about. I've never been a massive F1 fan or followed it closely, but I've always viewed it as being the absolute pinnacle of what can be achieved with a racing machine. So to me, it seems odd to add all of these extra rules and regulations that may stifle reaching even further.

I'd love to see a motorsport where there was maybe one rule where you have a budget within $X amount of dollars, but other than that, go nuts, come up with innovative new technologies and racing methods and see what happens.
The stock rules weren't changed out of the blue.

But, no worries, once people figure out the risk involved in home equity this will be derisked and have surprising outcomes.
> I think the general summary of what you're pointing out is that in industry it's easy to do things that the company wants to do (make money, make your boss look good, make life easier for the execs), and hard to do things that you want to do (cool stuff, disseminate ideas, and explore).

Based on my experience, I agree with the first half of this sentence but I'd argue with the second bit. Sometimes the interests align. The one thing that has made my PhD worthwhile has been that it gives me the credibility to work on cool stuff that's going to make the company money. That's not to say that I would necessarily be working on exactly the same things if I had been free to choose, but that's largely because I'm solving problems I didn't know existed before I took this job!
Rally cars don't have the sex appeal that a F1 car does, and put bluntly neither does the sport itself. I do enjoy watching rallying but Formula 1 is so much more interesting to me both as someone who can understand the vehicle dynamics and a fan of racing.

Anyone can serve their own root.zone. I have done so for many years. The web might be "big" but the portion of it you as a personal user are accessing is comparatively small. If you tally up all the domains you are currently visiting (excluding nonsense like ad servers), chances are, a zone file that contains the RRs for every domain you will ever need to visit in your entire lifetime would fit on a small-sized USB stick from 10 years ago. You can effectively avoid recursion. 100% authoritative DNS, all served from your computer.

Today's USB sticks can accomodate the largest zones like .com several times over. That is more web than you could possibly surf in your lifetime.

The IAU definition is absurd given the current search for exoplanets, because we will be able to detect planemos orbiting other stars long before we have any hope of being able to tell whether they've cleared their orbits. It would be much more practical - that is, useful for actually communicating empirical information - to define a planet as a planemo, Luna, Ceres and Eris included.

I have a feeling that the author will discover that the grass is always greener on the other side.

all of the founding fathers viewed commerce and property as a function or construct of society, rather than a natural right in itself

Your interpretation goes against the Founder's stated beliefs.

The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of
every citizen, in his person and property, and in their management.
~ Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816

In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property,
he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
...
Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well
that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which
the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government,
that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every
man, whatever is his own.
~ James Madison, Essay on Property

Government is instituted no less for the protection of the property
than of the persons of individuals.
~ James Madison, Federalist 54

the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate ... is
the first object of government
~ James Madison, Federalist 10

And, if we read Locke's own words:

The necessity of pursuing happiness [is] the foundation of liberty.
As therefore the highest perfection of intellectual nature lies in a
careful and constant pursuit of true and solid happiness; so the care
of ourselves, that we mistake not imaginary for real happiness, is the
necessary foundation of our liberty.

Just means it’s “more” forgotten
This is ridiculously party poopy for really lame reasons. The world is hard, dark, scary and a drag most of the time. Obviously this was written in a different time, but I question the value of recirculating it in this time, when life has all of those negative attributes amplified for almost everyone.

People find joy in discovering weird facts. Even if those facts are about the magic of language we invent and reinvent. Words have no basis in reality except that we use them. Descriptivism is a pointless wet blanket in its own right, but it’s downright cruel when it’s used to revoke perfectly harmless words that bring some ... ahem ... nerds joy.

Not that this or any of it is the worst thing in the world, and I know I’m having an outsized reaction to it. But there’s no need for it, and believe it or not some people find etymology—and the richness of language—a source of some small joy. Some people use that richness, even in its absurdity, as a source to create, as a spring from which art can flow. Art that enriches others, even if they don’t give half a damn about what a nonexistent group of wombats is called.

In the spirit of more lightly thumbing my nose at this whole thing: today I learned that a collective noun for a generalized grouping of animals—and also a word to describe sexual indulgence—is a “venery”. I will henceforth use it to also describe a group of people who crap on harmless joys they can’t relate to.

Literally everything you've said is still true. Formula 1 stopped being like that in the 70s at the latest. Mercedes are too dominant, but there is nearly always a dominant team in the history of F1. The MP4/4's records were set in the 80s for god’s sake.

A Minardi won a race this year (They're called Alpha Tauri now)

Don't look back with rose tinted spectacles.
Auto racing will just never be the same. I don’t even think EV racing will evolve the sport. The golden days of auto racing involved real innovation like creating super chargers, turbos, certain efficiencies, and improvements in potting, etc. There was a time when we just didn’t know what could be done to build an engine that could run near the edge without blowing.

I don’t think EV will ever have its equivalent. Just not the same as taking an ICE and tweaking it through mechanical engineering to find new performance gains.

End of an era but that’s progress. Maybe fully mechanical cars will find a way to exist as a sport. But I imagine people will lose interest over a few generations. But then, horses still race.
What happened to the "average programmer" over time? They
seem to be building things that make more money now. Isn't that the main reason companies pay for software engineers?

I believe the "decline" is due to the fact that being a software engineer nowadays is more like being a sysadmin or DBA than a programmer of the past. You spend 80% of your time using frameworks and systems that you don't fully understand (or even understand a bit).

I almost feel no compassion. US poor are the probably the dumbest. They are quick to support wars and interventions in foreign countries, quick to dismiss and despise socialist ideas (despite being themselves the main beneficiaries), proud to be uncultured and uneducated, daydreaming with being millionaires from early childhood until their senior years.

I hope people realize that America is actually in a much better position than many countries. Which is to say, as awful as it is here and probably getting worse, it's even more desperate in many countries.

The economic system failing is a technical problem. Technical as in technology.

What I am saying is that our failure to properly apply our technology is putting everyone at risk.

And when enough millions of people globally are desperate for food or shelter, that is when you get a world war.

The old people dying in American streets are just the tip of the iceberg.
No need to worry. You'll even feel smart when this superhuman AI takes your advice. You won't even realize what that actually means.

The people who named Pluto conflated the scientific discovery with an ancient mythology and tradition of wandering stars, as if it were a continuation of it, and now certain people affiliated with the scientific community go around on the Internet telling members of the general public that they're speaking imprecisely about their horoscopes, as if that behavior will have no impact on whether the public will listen to the scientific community on matters like how not to spread covid, vaccines, and climate change.

>Public buildings and infrastructure, on the other hand, have other considerations in play. Durability, civic pride, long term safety ...

Who's paying? I can't express within the confines of the rules here how livid this sort of "we should spend taxpayer money on looking good to fluff our own egos" thinking is. The public is best served a vinyl tiled "Walmart subway" where the lightbulbs work and the trains run. Not a billion dollar marble monstrosity. Any bureaucrat opting to condone the latter is shirking their duty to use the resources at their disposal to deliver maximum results to the taxpayers.
F1's problem is that it is a technological marvel that is simultaneously obsolete. Like the XB-71 Valkyrie project of the US AirForce, the technology powering modern F1 hybrid power trains is just outstandingly brilliant. However, just like the XB-71 was made obsolete by the advent of ICBMs, the hybrid power train's future for road cars has been overtaken by the advent of Tesla and battery electric vehicles. The metaphorical comparison with XB-70 ends when performance is concerned. F1 hybrids are still far superior to pure battery electric vehicles. So F1 is essentially stuck in the upper-left corner of the price-performance envelope. They are too good to move to pure electric, but their tech is obsolete for road cars. In a few years battery electric vehicles will get to the performance levels of current F1 hybrids, but by that time the mantle of the pinnacle of auto-racing will have been taken by FormulaE. Not a good place for F1 to be. In effect Tesla killed F1.

If you put all your money in Tesla stock and then it declines because Elon Musk is an unpredictable fellow, you made your bed. Everybody knows that's a higher volatility investment than real estate is widely considered to be.

If you put all your money in Tesla stock and then it yielded an ordinary market rate of return but the government decided to take all your profits because if you have enough money to own stock then you must not need it very much, yet not take all the profits of landlords or Bitcoin speculators or privately held corporations, can you see why someone might regard that as unreasonable?

What does "the west" have to do with this?
worst spaghetti code ever
I'm no lawyer -- what about a dual gpl/proprietary license, where the proprietary license is granted only to the company recieving the patch, but is indefinite, non-revokable, transferable. Basically, you grant the public the rights of the gpl, and the company the right to do as they see fit. This seems better to me than MITing it, because you don't lose the benefits of the gpl.

The complication is that, if you received the source under the gpl, then you must release your patch under the gpl, too. But I think this can be worked around by the company licensing the source to you under a different license, that allows only submitting patches.

So basically, you effectively submit the same patch twice: once under the gpl, based on the public gpl'd code, and a second time under a proprietary license, based on the same code, offered to you under a proprietary license that exclusively allows sending patches.
All of our major systems: from infrastructure to employment to graduate work, is built on the assumption of eternal exponential growth. All of these past infrastructure decisions would've been fine if we continued to have exponential economic and population growth. More taxes/funding would come in and there'd be new money to continue to grow forever. Except it can't grow forever. Eric Weinstein coined the phrase "Embedded Growth Obligation" (EGO) to describe this phenomenon.

>"An embedded growth obligation is how fast a structure has to grow in order to maintain its honest positions," Weinstein says. "If you have a situation in which you have trial lawyers and they're supported by various associates, and the associates all want to become partners and trial lawyers themselves, then what you have is a situation where the law firm has to grow at a very fast clip if all those people are going to be satisfied with their job decisions. Well, very quickly that ability to grow runs out, and then people want to know, "Why am I stuck in a position going nowhere?"

> You invested in the opportunity to generate income. Not the guarantee.

They may still have the opportunity to get income from another tennant but you want them to be responsible for the tenant that can't/won't pay. The state would effectively offload any social responsibility it has.

Also, who says the living conditions have to be the same under crisis? The state could sub-rent out some places but double the density. After all, if you are staying for free a shared bathroom is not the end of the world.

The $1200 stimulus was probably the most generous in the world. Seems to me everybody is pretending it didn't happen.
She certainly deserves lots of flack, but it seems reasonably likely (if not certain), that it was her investors pushing for the "sale" of the employees (ugh), and the lawsuit against Apple.

In that context, I don't think the comment I replied to (quoted below) is entirely fair.

>Now, I think she may have acquired a reputation as someone who ends up treating her employees like her personal property

Why don't we name and shame the investors involved here? They're just as culpable IMHO.

I was careful to define the needs in the other block of text above.

However I'll disagree with the binary solution you've reached.

For direct end renters a combination of rent reduction (E.G. 25% of the contracted rate), the option to continue in-contract rate on a per-month basis until the end of the crisis (which is currently optimistically thought to be mid-next year), as well as forbearance and interest free payment at a rate of X (I'll say 2 per 25% months, this number should be tweaked in tandem) forborne months per year after the crisis, for any hardship including loss of job, any illness that prevents full 'normal' work, etc.

For people making payments on primary properties also 25%, as a figure to start the discussion at.

Businesses that are shuttered entirely (E.G. should be gyms) should just have their current contracts frozen, and terms extended accordingly after the pandemic is over.

Buisnesses that are open should be required to pay their employees as normal, but have reduced rent (again I'll just start the discussion with 25%) and automatic forbearance if the numbers aren't adding up.
I believe their point was that the response proved disunity exists, not any value judgement on whether disunity is a good or effective thing in itself.

To be honest, I'm kinda jealous. I do have a general understanding of how a CPU works, and I do understand what preemptive multitasking operating systems do, but my understanding is mostly abstract. And, fwiw, I studied most of this by myself out of sheer curiosity.

I did graduate a university but the closest thing we had was using a custom CPU emulator, given by the teacher, to run programs, given by teacher, and tracing every step it takes. It was so tedious and boring (the thing ONLY accepted binary, too, hexadecimal would be too convenient I guess), I wrote my own emulator that took an assembly file as input and generated the paper as the output, you only had to add your name to it before printing and turning it in. It then took me 5 whole minutes to generate semester worth of those. Of course I got a passing grade. Still, no substantial understanding of CPU inner workings was gained during the process.
