The bars are restaurants available in most cities in the USA do not compare to the bars and restaurants in cities like SF, Los Angeles, NYC, Tokyo, Paris, etc.....

I mean places like Flagstaff Arizona, or Temecula California, etc.... In the cities listed in the first paragraph there are, unique bars (not sure what word to use) and interesting restaurants. In most cites there are just places like AppleBess and the local versions of same. If that makes me a bar/food snob okay but what's available in many cities is just not comparable in random small city.
I believe GP is saying that they aren't willing to pay $5/10 a month for one or two shows. Especially not in a world where their ideal preference is one or two shows from integrator A, one or two from integrator B, from integrator C, etc... It can get very expensive very quickly.
Financial Time Series Forecasting with Deep Learning
Your second point broadly makes sense. In fact, it's almost a truism: if you don't put time into learning, you won't have the skills necessary to be able to execute.

However, it seems detached from your first point.

If one's role is a front-end developer, is it necessary that they know about back-end development? If it is outside their intended job function, why would they need to know about it, if it doesn't get in the way of performing their job? If you are a backend developer, do you need to know about how to host your own infrastructure? Handle your own networking? Chip design? Your logic could be applied to any job function. Each level of the stack benefits from the levels below it being abstracted. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and we're all much better for it.

Overall, I do think it's better that one has a good understanding about the various components one interacts with. Having a grasp of the overall system will come in handy. A curiosity into other parts of the system is beneficial, and likely is one of many indicators of success. However, if job functions can be simplified and superfluous context removed, why should we fault those for taking advantage of that?

This issue with "lowering the bar" and being glad that a simplification has "failed" (which, is yet to be determined), reeks to me like gatekeeping. The same logic could be applied to any job role which benefits from simplification. In an extreme example, this logic could be extrapolated to support the notion that anyone who cannot build their own machine from the ground up should never work in a programming position. What height is appropriate for the "bar"?
Gnome is also incredibly slow to allow one to select a particular window when Alt-Tabbing. It is a one second delay every time you want to change window.

My most significant optimization was showing that the thing they wanted computed was not possible. Not just "will keep running and finish soon after the universe expires", but actually impossible to compute (in the general case, which was their case, if they restricted the inputs it was feasible). Apparently they had no mathematicians evaluating the requirements. The guy who brought the problem to me had been working on it off and on for months. So I saved him from having to think about it for the rest of his time maintaining that system.
I find it easier to handle multiple PHP versions on Windows than on Linux. As you say just download zip,unpack somewhere copy php.ini-development to php.ini, and you can do this for every minor PHP-version.

Apache is almost as easy, download zip, unpack & configure apache conf to use your php.

MySQL is somewhat more complicated because you need to run an setup script after unpacking the zip.

I think Disney's whole business model is built around insuring that never happens, both by hiring the best people and by buying any company that demonstrates a threat to their hegemony.
Note that this is very restrictive for some interpretations of the AGPL: https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/

IIUC the intent was to ensure that modifications to Plausible are released as open source. However it isn't clear if this also affects tools that use a API or even just Plausible being used internally for a company.

The AGPL does have wording saying that in the case software is joined together only the original work has the AGPL requirement, however it is unclear what the difference is between modifications to the original work and other code that uses that original work.

FWIW this is non-specific enough that I am not completely comfortable using Plausible personally anymore. Of course you company's legal team may have a different opinion.

In particular it's not only brand name medications, but patented ones, because then there is by law only one supplier, and the temporarily high price is on purpose as a reward for developing the new drug.

The problem we have then is that it's getting paid for by insurance, and we don't have a good mechanism to distinguish between essential things and merely new things. If somebody comes up with the cure for cancer, letting them soak the insurance companies for 20 years is a fair trade. If somebody comes up with a pill that does the same thing as the combination of two pills that had been standard practice previously, but can convince doctors to prescribe the new thing, letting them soak the insurance companies for 20 years is some kind of regulatory failure.
The obvious one is that SF proper is generally cold and foggy while SD is sunny and warm.

It is pretty easy with Amazon Prime or Apple TV to cycle through streaming services or pay channels often with free or cheap specials.

That is my current plan, no more than two paid subscriptions at any time with Amazon Prime being one of them. However, 12+ mos ago we canceled Netflix with the intention of signing up for a HBO product for awhile. That was the plan anyway. We haven't yet signed up for a second service.

It helps that whenever the kids are home we binge on whatever during the holidays because they have "shared" accounts with almost all services.

edit-to-add: we have basic cable because bundling it with internet saves us a dollar.
Who cares about the weather? For the price of an apartment in SF you could easily have 2 apartments in different cities. Get one in Colarado for when you want to snow ski and get one in south Florida for when you want to water ski.
When you observe it, you collapse the wave-function of which color the ball has into a particular value (red or blue). Before you observed it, the ball was in a superposition of the two colors. And this collapse instantaneously also collapses the wave-function to the American ball.

Now, that is obviously not true for macroscopic objects like balls. Those are not in a superposition of colors until they are observed, but it is true for quantum objects like electrons.
Absolutely anecdotal to a single apartment building, but I check the listed prices for units inside my building in Redwood City.

> cost savings of moving is so great that it was cheaper to pay to break the lease than it would be to stay

What's the law on this? I've read that the landlord is required to make a good faith effort to replace you, but if they can't (or if they can't recoup the costs), you are on the hook.

So if the cost is 32% lower and the landlord can only find a tenant willing to pay that much, it seems like you are responsible for the 32% for the remaining months of the lease - which is no better than if you just hadn't moved. And that's not even including the fact that the place might be on the market for months.

> The obvious solution is to unfork and to restore the openoffice name and domain, but I guess that would require the two groups to actually cooperate with each other.

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "unfork". Do we return to the OpenOffice codebase? If so, we are setting development back 10 years. If we return to the LibreOffice codebase, well this is exactly what The Document Foundation is asking for. Except that at this point we will simply let OpenOffice be a redirect to LibreOffice because that is where the development is.
My reason exactly. Hard to do so, it turned out. I had time for one "pivot", which I am doing right now. Doesn't seem to work to good so far...

> It's extremely disappointing that, other than Firefox, browsers have refused to implement subgrid

The way I understand the situation in Chromium is that they are slowly moving to a new layout system called LayoutNG [0]. The current grid implementation is in the old layout system however and they don't want to spend time extending it just to abandon it a few months later. There's already an ongoing work to support grid (GridNG) in LayoutNG [1] and once that's done, adding support for subgrid should be "fairly straight forward" [2].

It’s a hold over from 2014. Once a criticism, always a criticism.

A tangential quote about the persistence of old, uninformed ideas:

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.” — Max Planck, Scientific autobiography, 1950
Welcome to Bell's Casino. You and your partner will be playing our famous two-coin game today. We have hidden two coins under these two opaque cups. You and your partner are to guess the orientation, heads or tails, of both of the coins. Guess correctly and win $1. Guess incorrectly and lose your $1 bet.

In order to help you out, after you two have made your guess we are going to give you two a chance to back out and lose nothing. After your prediction we are going to reveal one coin to you and another coin to your partner. Together you and your partner will have an opportunity to back out, but the catch is that you two are not allowed to communicate!

Instead of communicating, you can raise either a red flag or a green flag after seeing your coin. Similarly, your partner can raise either their red flag or their green flag after seeing their coin. If you both raise the same colour flag, the game keeps going and we see if you win or lose. If you both raise different colour flags, the game stops and you lose nothing.

To ensure you don't cheat, we've separated you and your partner by 200 million kilometers and you have one minute to raise one of your flags after seeing your coin, otherwise you lose the game. (Alternatively you are your partner are separated by 400 meters and you have 100 nanoseconds to raise one of your flags.)

Good luck.

Huh? Is he saying they want to remove XML support? Doesn't this include... the DOM?

This proposal seems reasonable but I don't understand this response by someone representing Chrome. Seems like this guy woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I think most people who leave during the pandemic aren't leaving for equal-sized apartments in other cities.

I think they're leaving for places where lower land prices mean homes with more space - which could mean the suburbs, smaller towns, or could even mean moving back in with their parents.

I know people, in London, where three 20-something couples were renting a three-bedroom house, living 2 people to a room. They barely had room to set up comfortable desks and chairs for everyone, let alone things like exercise equipment. Some of them decided temporarily moving back in with their parents wasn't such a bad idea after all...
While I agree with your admiration of the versatility and power of CJK languages, I don't think the particular aspect you're commenting on is specific to those. You see this in many western languages too. Here's an example in English. Take the word "pot". It can be a container, it can be a plant, it can be a drug, it can be a dish (pot roast), it can be an electronic component (short for potentiometer). Things can "go to pot". Someone might be told to "shit or get off the pot" when they are indecisive. The meaning depends on context. Some of these meanings are related, some are not. Yet it's all the same word. It has some meanings that are shared across different anglophone cultures, and some that are specific to one or several. There are many other words like that, and you find things like this in almost every language family.
Interesting article, though it feels pretty unpolished, like a step above someone's train of thought.

Also odd that Catalan was chosen as the example, rather than french, latin, or German, which all have much stronger and more direct influence on English than Catalan or Spanish.

Also some odd linguistic claims. The Altaic theory is not really supported by most linguists, and is the author claiming that Japanese and Korean are incredibly easy to learn for English speakers, or that Japanese is incredibly easy to learn if you're a Korean speaker and vice versa?

Regardless, interesting blog. Would be great as a first draft to expand upon with more examples to make you imagine what it would feel like.
> - there is no explanation of what the "AI philosophy" or "AI way of thinking" is according to the authors

I think this point was implied here: "A clear alternative to “AI” is to focus on the people present in the system. If a program is able to distinguish cats from dogs, don’t talk about how a machine is learning to see. Instead talk about how people contributed examples in order to define the visual qualities distinguishing “cats” from “dogs” in a rigorous way for the first time. There's always a second way to conceive of any situation in which AI is purported. "

It's basically like saying it's all really just "curve-fitting", a mathematical tool which which requires smart mathematicians and programmers to implement successfully, not anything genuinely intelligent about the software.
Every server less design I've seen turns into a complex workflow of distributed functions chained together by a pile of xml.

Each example that I've seen could have been replaced with a simple single process job. You should not need to go over the network because you need a process to run for more than 10 minutes. You should be able to check the status of resource creation via for loop.

An argument can be made for not needing a server, but I can easily fire off a container in fargate/gks/ecs and get similar benefit.

That's the key difference between ideograms (based on pictures of combination of pictograms) and sound-based writings (alphabet and the like).

Ideograms have a major drawback, however. To represent most of things you need in daily life, you need thousands of them.
That's amazing. And what about functional languages?
I agree.

I just feel we are in a critical moment for regulatory/taxation/incentives. Global warming is still at several major tipping points. Technology development and industrial switchover cost/momentum/economies of scale improvement curves for BEVs, solar/wind, and grid storage are all improving at geometric rates. Synthetic fuel for aviation and ultra-long-range ground/sea transport desperately need incentives.

We need policy that will give PHEVs with 50 mile all-electric range a multi-thousand dollar advantage over non-hybrids. This is important because it educates the general populace on electric drivetrains, transitions to BEV charging/grid utilization profiles, maximizes the battery production to the 90% use case, and gets 90% of consumer driving to emissions-free electric.

We need a gas tax that starts to accumulate every year over a ten year period. As in it goes up 50 cents a year. Used cars should be subjected to initial registration taxes that increase $200-$500 a year. Triple that for ICE SUVs/CUVs based on vehicle weight and EPA mileage numbers.

With this should come a large incentive for PHEV ($5000-$1000) that will gradually phase out over 10-20 years.

We need the home solar and battery storage incentive doubled down on, not currently phased out. While utility solar is cheaper, it comes with grid costs that I don't think are necessarily included, and home solar will reduce grid complexity and durability, and incentivizes movement to a home green energy closed cycle.
Actually, while many units were built, they were almost all in tall buildings in Soma. Many of those are occupied by renters, and approximately everyone wanted out (100 unit building with a pair of elevators isn’t a covid friendly plan).

Like jeffbee says below: if you take just a little supply or demand out of the system, it can massively swing. As an example, in addition to the flight of many renters, single-family homes are up year over year.
Charting the Rise and Fall of the Waterbed
> Rust probably could provide a precompiled binary, but the recommended installation method for Blades involves `cargo` which is why I asked the question.

Cargo is the Rust compiler (or rather the Rust build system). After you run it, it'll spit out a binary which you can use elsewhere. If I'm reading your question correctly, this would be analogous to seeing a reference to CMake in a C++ project's README and then asking whether C++ supports precompiled binaries.

There are a lot of false pairs in Latin based/Romance languages.

One addendum to this: some of the simplified printed characters actually date back centuries in China (e.g. the 14th and 13th centuries CE), and IIRC were used for easier carving of the woodblocks used for printing. And Japan has been introducing simplified printed characters for many centuries too. And that's before you even get into variant scripts used in calligraphy, shorthand, and personal seals. Point being, it's even more complicated than this, historically speaking.
