Hitler started that way cause he wanted more space for Germans and also world domination.

Eventually, Hitler happened to lose that war with even negotiation being impossible. Generally, Hitler said something is pretty bad argument for anything, as that man said a lot of bullshit in his life.
If the US had not used the atomic bomb Japan would have been split with the Russians just like Germany. It was arguably, speaking realpolitik, the lesser of two evils.
Do you really think most individuals in hunter-gatherer societies had true autonomy? Or serfs in feudal Europe? In fact, if you have accumulated some degree of financial independence I'd argue you can have much more autonomy today than just about anyone pre-industrial revolution.

Well that is a bit of a showing up to a luxury/sports car/truck discussion and saying 'my daily driver is a bicycle' philosophical difference/smartassery. It is clearly objectively worse in several ways (cargo capacity, max speed, environmental conditions) but better in ways that the others don't even try for (no emissions, gives exercise to the operator, negligible road wear). They fundamentally aren't even trying for a monolith but to become 'independent' as possible. Less charitably it could be called sophistry to self-justify their flaws and failings.

A hypothetical 'outsource everything' company would be perfectly agile because everything else is fungible replaced with whoever is doing the outsourcing regardless of what is going on everywhere else. The downsides are not only that they are the reverse ofvertically intergrated in that they give up margins to everyone else in the chain and that they have no differentiator other than what they can provide as 'middleware' and outsourcing everything to stay that agile means that it is shrank by design. They would have to provide real value margin as a middleman in order to exist long term vs the clients 'just putting all of the pieces themselves'.

I believe, as the article is implying, that much of what stereophiles perceive as quality is merely signal color of one sort or another, once you reach beyond the basics of clean signal paths and input sources.

I worked my way though college by sound engineering/DJing in a major european city. The signal paths in studios at that time were complex meandering things all adding minor or not-so-minor levels of color, and now can all be substantially replaced by something like a "Universal Audio" DSP box, which is capable of reproducing 99% of the sonic/tonal qualities of the classic equipment. I can't, however, shake the assertion that old, analog, recordings have a certain quality and warmth to them that to my ears sounds amazing, and we have moved so far from this with crappy compression algorithms and equipment which mostly does not match 90's HiFi, unless you spend a lot. Particularly, anything processed at CD quality, seems tinny to my ears. Recording at 192KHz seems to be set to overcome this however.

'Anarcho-Syndicats' essentially do not exist in any material practicality. Perhaps in niches.

You're not going to make an Airbus or 747 in such a formation.

You want to know the real difference between 'poor' and 'rich' Europe? 'Rich Europe' aka UK, Germany, Netherlands etc. have significantly greater population working in companies of large size.

Spain in particular, more people work in 'mom and pop' shops where they don't have the scale to tackle bigger problems.

There's a lot of variation, but 'having a boss' is inevitable when it comes to coordinating large groups.
I am not saying stellar formations couldn't be intelligent. What I am saying is that if they are, then they would fall under the umbrella of life and therefore also biological matter. Biological matter is by definition the matter of things which are/were alive.

Obviously their conception of "biological matter" would then be much different and more general from our current conception of "biological matter", but what exactly in that difference makes ours inherently funnier than theirs?

Don't get me wrong, I think what he's doing is very valuable! My issue with it is that I always come away from his videos feeling like someone just told me a fun fact, not that I've really understood it and learned something I could use in the future.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder. Clearly C++20 has more features than C++17, which had more features that C++14, etc., but nicer? There are some features which are nice, but the whole set? And some of those features solve just problems one doesn't have outside of C++ and other problems remain. I think C++ is the Algol68 of our days. It won't be improved upon, but (hopefully soon) replaced.
It's not terribly uncommon for some jurisdictions (sometimes at a municipal level) to not allow self-serve gas stations. Usually presented as a safety measure, but also an economic one (requires more employees).

It's a bit more nuanced than that. From a practical perspective, China and Russia's possession of nuclear weapons has been a sufficient deterrent to US or NATO action for nearly a century. By contrast, The advent of smarter bombs, stealth technology, and drones has largely freed the US from the negative consequences of large scale bombing campaigns and ground invasions.

The result has been 3 decades of near continuous warfare in countries of little strategic threat to US interests. As a peer competitor to the US, do you fear a smarter drone or an ICBM?

There is no installer and you really have to understand how all the pieces fit together to be able to get something up and running. For instance, how does your bootloader know how to mount an encrypted boot partition, load whatever needs loaded, and then mount other encrypted disks as necessary. Where do you even _store_ your bootloader if the boot partition is encrypted? Which specific encryption method do you use?

I've been using Linux since 2010 and when I went through this process, it took me several evenings to get it right as well, but now I have a much better understanding of how my system actually works under the hood. It's a valuable exercise, but comparing it to the polished install experience that e.g. Ubuntu or Fedora have, it's a pretty fair amount of work required.

I recommend on reading up on the history of South America. It might be eye opening, pretty much every country had at some point a military dictatorship/junta killing their people, established with the help of the CIA. The USA has the clear "good guys" is by far not so straight forward. That is not to say that Russia or China are.

And then we could argue the whole premise of "we have to do it because the others are doing it" which can be used to justify everything.
This is true, I hope you support the U.S. withdrawal from NATO as well.
With all the fake items, I'd say that 30-40% sounds about right, and that a good portion of what is returned should be destroyed, not resold.

Mathjax reminds me of the AJAX hype. What happened to it? These days no one talks about AJAX. There was material design a few years later but that was just the looks.

Is AJAX now replaced with React.js? or a combination of other stuff (like HTML5 and modern-JS and React.js and stuff)?

edit: I just looked up Angular and apparently it was rewritten in Typescript, a strict superset of JS. This doesn't make sense. JS is known for massive amounts of cruft. An improvement would've been a scripting language that compiles to "JS: the good parts", i.e., a subset of JS. But now we should have "Typescript: the good parts" because TS inherited all the bad parts of JS?

edit 2: It turns out, there is valid JS that is invalid TS [0]. And yet, TS is described on wikipedia as "a strict superset of JS" [1]. (invalid TS == non-error-free TS).

edit 3: Further confirmation about error-free TS not being a strict superset of JS [2]. Such a lie can only be expected from a company like micro$hit.

edit 5: even with-error TS is not a superset of JS (the behavior is different) [3].

edit 6: Typescript is an opinionated-yet-spineless Javascript!

The original product was really just a javascript utility allowing you to instrument your site and funnel data to other analytics platforms like GA or Adobe. The industry was coalescing on another approach (data layer) which still exists and probably has wider adoption.

>In my opinion, punishment that isn't intended to reform the criminal is done so three rest of us can feel good. I consider it sadism, but can understand if others object to that term.

Punishment is arguably intended first and foremost to be a deterrent to committing crime in the first place, and secondary as a way to take dangerous criminals off the street. Reform of the criminal should probably be considered a bonus, not the primary intention. I think almost no one, aside from direct victims and their families, want punishment purely for punishment's sake (i.e. sadism).
You basically cannot provide enough measurement to ensure that clothing will fit.

There's an article about the US Air Force and the "average pilot" https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...

The gist of it is: The average pilot doesn't exists.

I'd assume it's not much different with clothing. While the length for instance may fit, the shape of a sleeve or trouser leg may prevent you from wearing it comfortably. You'd need a insane amount of measurement from each part of the body.

That being said, I do feel like the clothing industry could be doing better than they currently are.

I've asked myself this question about even more abstracted/lower-level things, like - is it good to improve Kubernetes, knowing that this makes things better for big businesses and the military (cf. https://thenewstack.io/how-the-u-s-air-force-deployed-kubern...) and not really directly for individual people?

While it's tempting to say that there's no moral dimension this far out, I think that's not quite true - there is a moral dimension to making technology work more smoothly. It increases the ability of anyone with some power to do things at scale. On the one hand, it gives ability for anyone with tiny amounts of power to make use of it (consider the effect of, say, typewriters in the Soviet Union, or even farther back, the printing press in the hands of Luther's supporters). On the other hand, it absolutely increases the ability of people with massive amounts of power to use that power more efficiently (like the "war cloud"). My own view here is that, for those of us whose day job is in improving infrastructure / technical leverage, this increases how important it is for us as members of society to make sure that power is distributed equitably and justly. Since it's indirect, we don't have to advocate for this through what we choose to be directly employed on (the way we would if we were literally working on missile targeting software), and it's often difficult to do so, but we should advocate for this through how we engage with the political process (broadly defined) in the rest of our lives.

There's also a question of what sort of improvements you make to it. Security improvements are generally a thing you can feel good about: people with small amounts of power are much more likely to have security flaws exploited than to use security flaws offensively, so even if there's an argument that hardening some software makes it harder to attack evil businesses or evil governments, it also has the much more practical effect of making it harder for those entities to attack dissidents' personal devices. And similarly for what you choose to do: working on Signal helps the low-power individual much more than working on SELinux, even though both are conceivably dual-use.
How would one accelerate object tracking on a video stream where each frame depends on the result of the previous one? Batching and multi-threading doesn't work here.

Are there some CNN-libraries that have way less overhead for small batch sizes? Tensorflow (GPU accelerated) seems to go down from 10000 fps on large batches to 200 fps for single frames for a small CNN.
pacman is for the official repos. There are a number of AUR helpers out there. Personally, I enjoy yay (https://github.com/Jguer/yay). It's very simple, it's been consistently maintained over a number of years, and it works for most commands if you just replace "pacman" with "yay". For instance, `yay -Syu` is the same as `pacman -Syu`, but it'll handle your AUR packages as well.
> 1. The ideal sleep pattern is sleeping when tired and walking up without an alarm.

I interpreted this in summary as "sleep when tired and don't sleep when not tired". Which seems like common sense. That's akin to my favourite feeding pattern, which can be summarized as: "eat when hungry, do not eat when not hungry".

I almost never buy from Amazon anymore. Not really because of any bad experiences, though reports about the high number of counterfeit goods that Amazon sells certainly contributes to my reluctance. Also: Amazon is just too big. I like a bit of competition in the market.

Also, in Netherland, Amazon isn't all that big. In the distant past, I sometimes ordered at amazon.com, later at amazon.de. Recently I got an invitation to amazon.nl which apparently just opened, but I really don't see the point. Netherland already had a couple of big online retailers: bol.com and coolbue. They're good, fast, reliable. I don't need Amazon anymore.

The US tech giants can't spend their huge cash piles.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Apple, Cisco, etc. are not allowed to buy up the competition freely. That's a big reason they're sitting on so much cash, they can't really spend it on anything in a sane / responsible manner. About the only thing they can safely, legally do with it is toss it back to shareholders.

Intel for example would never have been allowed to buy TSMC while they were a lot smaller than Intel. Intel isn't allowed to buy ARM or AMD. Intel wasn't allowed to buy Nvidia when Nvidia was a lot smaller. Intel has had the dominance and cash for a very long time to eat all competing semiconductor companies globally, and they would never have been allowed to do that (thus they didn't; they would have loved to do so). Intel has been under heavy government observation regarding competition for decades now, they're half crippled.

Microsoft wouldn't have been allowed to acquire Apple circa 1998-2000, even though they trivially could have done so. And dozens of other tech companies are on the: may not be acquired by Microsoft list.

Facebook isn't allowed to buy TikTok or Twitter or Pinterest or Snapchat.

Google wouldn't be allowed to buy Bing from Microsoft. Google wouldn't have been allowed to acquire Yahoo.

Amazon wouldn't be allowed to acquire Netflix or Walmart or Target.

Juniper has been sitting out there forever because Cisco isn't allowed to acquire them, along with several other prominent competing companies. And simultaneously, since Cisco isn't allowed to acquire such companies under our economic system in the first place, they then also benefit from having Juniper out there as a competition prop to point to.
Seems interesting from the Ted Talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkKSJSqU-I) summary.

But note "Leaders nudge people and the tribe to the next stage". In this case the leader sees where the tribe is going and is steering away from that sinkhole of unhappiness (constant workplace politicking doesn't make anybody happy, even when perceived progress is being made) and unproductivity that is workplace activism.

Putting a fire extinguisher on that self-destructive behavior seems like the leader's job. It's not something you should be nurturing.

You may disagree about it being self-destructive, but that would be a different issue.

But thanks for the book recommendation. Adding it to my list.

When defense contractors make too much money on contracts, it's called profiteering.

If the difference between criminal and lawful is just a matter of profit margins, I suspect it's hard for people think of you as being dirty, and the only question is how dirty.
yes, but I think for motorcycles, they let you fill on your own because most motorcycle tanks require a little more care from the filler (i.e. you don't just stick it in, turn it on, and wait for it to stop, instead, you're carefully holding the nozzle in the correct orientation and watching the level.)
