Non-neutral sources don't tend to be well received around here. What makes this one deserving of a pass?

The issues that interview covers have been widely discussed. Surely there's someone with an agenda other than "give this guy batting practice pitches right over the plate" that has asked him his opinion. This guy is a politician, being in the media, answering questions and talking about his opinion is part of his job. He's certainly done more interviews than just this one.

Furthermore, a friendly interview is much less informative than a neutral or hostile interview. Anyone can hit batting practice pitches. Anyone can answer questions from a friendly interviewer. A politician's answer to tough questions or to having their answers questioned is far more informative. Jacobin interviewing a leftist/socialist is like Tucker Carlson interviewing some ardent "muh religion and family values" type right winger. It's just a forum for the interviewee to pontificate mostly unchallenged.

>The great think about most IKEA furniture (or more generally, wood furniture) is that you can modify/fix it when it breaks. Good luck fixing those broken welds on your metal chairs!

Good luck breaking the steel beam bed frame :)

Ikea furniture is not wood it's crap particleboards, cheap plastic, etc. - repairing that looks terrible. Their paint quality is crap as well - I bought a work desk that would scratch from moving a monitor on it and has wear marks from resting my hands. Same problem with kitchen table in a rental apartment - got scratched up from regular use and no way to repair it. Hinges on sliding doors would never stop correctly and scratch up the other door, loose/flimsy feeling mechanism in the first place.

I do have their standing desk - it fit the home office space perfectly and it was the only good delivery option during corona lockdown - I'm happy with that so far. In general IKEA is my least favourite furniture option but sometimes they are the most practical solution.

Are you in disagreement with the point of my comment, or just the way it's worded? Perhaps I can explain what I mean better:

New features, by itself, aren't the only way technology moves forward, even thought it's the more noticeable and entertaining way. An improvement in the way existing features are accessed, or even a protection for certain features being accessed in a way that's potentially wrong, can also be an improvement or innovation. Static typing, enforced linters, or the Rust borrow checker are good examples of restriction-as-a-feature.

Therefore, I disagree with the original comment's implication that restricting features in lieu of security or misuse is a blocker for innovation.
Could you elaborate on it? It sounds a lot like the MS Project/Omniplan way. Do you/How do you integrate with the code development workflow and version control?
The emulator stage is that - zOS and DB2 emulation on x86 iron, at 50% cost (or so consultants claim - at least I can drive fear in IBM and lower costs if trials fail).

However we do feel complexity is creeping - some code is 50 yo - and a clean reboot might be the best way forwards. Also a lot of my team is edging towards retirement abs getting fresh COBOL talent is getting harder every day.

Not all the right motives, but puzzled together they start to make a case for change.
Correct. And just making the trajectory to appear straight by modifying the reference grid doesn't change anything. For example, once can see even exponential curve appear in a logarithmic grid. Force is a relation between the reference frame and the object. It is possible to consider either one as straight or flat.
Yeah, Tim's argument is fundamentally semantic one.

> I bet there will be a third-hand market where people haul this junk away to Ikea, and resell vouchers/new furniture

That already seems to be a thing - at least at the Seattle IKEA. Whenever I return something I spot at least one "pro" who has 3 or 4 of the same mismatched piece to return. It obviously works for them to salvage items off craigslist and yard sales and return them for store credit.
What you seem to be missing is a sense of sarcasm.
> there is underlying problem

No, you haven't ever defined _any_ problem, only abstract things that bother you.

There is only one problem that matters: writing a (correct) program. If you can do it without meta-programming, then you should.

If you start meta-programming when you don't have to, then you have already lost. If you are doing this when you shouldn't, and then you experience pain and say, "This system needs to be fixed", then make sure you fix the correct part of the system: yourself.

> JS [[Prototype]] is equivalent of class hierarchy.

Which nobody is futzing around with (because they can't, and they shouldn't futz with it anyway) on the level that you're insisting we do, in the ordinary course of writing programs. (The level where you are seeing "problems".) Once again: keep that stuff in your REPL. If you are editing a regular source file that will be committed to the repo and you are typing out "prototype" or "__proto__" or "setPrototypeOf" more than once or twice every 10k lines, then you're almost definitely doing something wrong.

> You've got burned by Java and C++, bad for you.

No, it's that the world is burning because of thousands of programmers who can't behave responsibly because they pick up a dynamic language and say, "There are no adults around to discipline me, so now is the time to go nuts."

(And the irony is that this thread exists because of your complaints about JS and how it burns you, where I started out arguing that JS is fine at the beginning. But now you're the champion for JS?)

It's very useful when having stuff like that:

<div class="code-line">print 12</div>

Then the reader can copy the actual code without the interpreter's prompt.
This is a really interesting contrast. For example here in the Netherlands, it's very common to leave leftover good furniture on the street in front of your house before you move away. Usually it's all gone in a few hours, giving things a new life in the hand of whoever needs it.

I wonder if it's related to signalling in some way. I'm not a Dutchie myself, but they're infamous for looking down on showing off with money.

IMO nothing shows the absurdity of CSS more than before/after rules.
I build furniture professionally, and I agree. IKEA stuff has been engineered to within an inch of its life to hold up for a reasonable length of time while being made of the lightest possible materials.

A lot of other factory made furniture is built starting from some vestige of traditional joinery, and then cheapened until it hits a price point. The construction is appalling. I don't expect mortise and tenon face frames, but pocket screws would be a much better solution than a couple of pneumatic nails, which do nothing to stabilize the case and can't be driven back in when they pull out under racking forces. At that point, the whole frame has to come off, and since the rest of the piece is as cheaply built, it's anybody's guess whether it'll hold together long enough to put the face frame back on.

The thinness of veneers on the tops of things that look like solid wood is a crime too. Most pros do the bulk of their stripping chemically, which doesn't risk damaging the veneer, but you usually have to do at least a little sanding, and it doesn't take much to find out what lies beneath. The result is that you can refinish a piece once.

Just like in software (which was my first career), doing repair/maintenance can be a real eye-opener.

If you like the look of IKEA, it's generally a good compromise between cost and durability.

EDIT: I should probably add that, in fairness, IKEA stuff , at least the particleboard or honeycomb cardboard stuff, is completely unrefinishable. I haven't seen any of their solid wood stuff come in for repair, but I'd take my chances on that if somebody wanted to pay me to.
I feel like McDonald's would benefit more from this.

I find it hard to believe AI knowing what's happening on a complex construction site and offer constructive ideas. Just a human looking at a daily photo should do.

If a capitalist friendly guy had been in charge, you would not have made this point though. When socialists have success people are always eager to find excuses and when capitalism utterly fails like the Russian shock therapy, people line up to make excuses.

Well, people could already cheat trivially by communicating with their partners, which would change the game just as much as being able to see all the cards at anything above the beginner level. It was already completely reliant on the honour system.

Still, being able to self-kibitz opens an extra avenue of cheating compared to collusion: you can cheat even if your partner is honest.

It uses the same idea as the one above, just has less explanation.
“Paranoia has become the culture”

This. For every actual cheating incident, there are many paranoid suspicions. Chess demands an intense focus, and this makes players react emotionally (see chess tantrums). Paranoia is one of these reactions. This "culture of paranoia" is generally pervasive, not just in chess. Once a paranoia inducing phenomenon (like cheating) exists, the paranoia pervades.

People know fb & google are being sneaky with data harvesting for ads, but details are murky. They become convinced the mic is listening to their conversation. People know moderation and shadowbanning exist. They become convinced that they are being suppressed. More crassly, once someone gets a promotion with a bj... the assumption is that everyone did.

Once a basis for paranoia (eg cheating) exists, it'll find a self serving nexus. I didn't lose, I was cheated.

Something we should be keeping an eye on. Online institution building may become the story of the 1920s. This paranoia will play a role.

For some reason wikidata is light on financial info, as in budgets, expenditure, income, debt, assets of various orgs, various levels of govt etc. Is it because the triple store is not the best way to store/query financial data or is it some other reason? Anyone know?
Lot of financial data is public but not much getting into wikidata.
To me as well, good readability means not having to read too much.

Here is a code example from the front page of the official Python website [python.org]:

>>> numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8]
>>> product = 1
>>> for number in numbers:
... product = product * number

Compared to the Ruby equivalent,

product = [2, 4, 6, 8].inject(:*)

this feels like unnecessary bloat that makes it harder to understand what is going on in the larger picture, i.e. the unit of code this is a part of.
Basic research salaries are never going to be competitive with applied research / practice salaries in a free market.

DARPA's funding and management structure is an explicit admission of that.

The base government problem is always that you want motivated people. You can motivate people by paying them competitive salaries, providing them job security, or providing them access to do work they wouldn't otherwise be able to.

Compensation is out (see above), and job security in government is always subject to weasel-capture (just as it was/is in academia) without a perfect, future predicting oracle.

This seems to (rightly, IMHO) be focused on that last incentive.

The replies to this are amazing.

I think part of it is the images and stories used to "explain" hunger.

Hunger is usually framed as a supply failure, not as a distribution failure. The picture is swollen bellies and the story in people's minds is "crop failure" or "civil or natural disaster", to which the logical solution would be "send food".

... because the natural next question to ask if it is a distribution failure and food is just sitting in warehouses and people are starving is: "why doesn't their government sort it out?".

If the solution is to give people cash, there are awkward questions like "who are the importers and suppliers who will be collecting all this cash?" and the inevitable conclusion that "this is just government corruption with extra steps".

To be clear, I think if one is to "give well" then doing it in an evidence-based way that will provide the most benefit is best. But I think it sets off a chain of questions that makes giving more morally complicated for many donors.

I think you are mashing up different lessons:

- when you stand on the ground you are the subject of 2 forces: gravitational force m * g and the opposite reaction force of the ground surface, they cancel each other so you stand still

- when you free fall your acceleration is g and the gravitational force is m * g, this is according to Newton's 2nd law

when you hit the ground depending on your velocity and... deformation, the force of impact will be different because you will de-accelerate to 0 or even bounce back very quickly much faster than g. It's gonna be much stronger than g * m
