I think there’s an assumption that if you’re using your phone regularly you’re never taking the time to have human experiences. For all but perhaps the most avoidant, I don’t think that happens in practice.

I walk alone for 1-3 hours a day. Usually I wear headphones and listen to podcasts or the economist audio - I have learned a lot about the world this way. You could argue it is just entertainment, but I suppose my old CS lectures were just entertainment, too. Having audio content helps make the walks more bearable, and those walks have helped me lose over 100 lbs of unwanted body fat.

Sometimes I take the headphones out to enjoy the sights and sounds. Sometimes I pause and enjoy the views for a while. If I see someone I want to talk to, I stop, take the headphones out, and talk. There’s no binary choice and I find that by sparing me actual reading time, this practice gives me more time to spend on things I care about. I do enjoy the nature exposure, but I don’t need 3 hours a day of focus on it - it really just doesn’t change much day to day or year to year.

I wish living in a perfectly smooth chrome existence was an option, but it isn’t. My phone and the internet fail often enough that I still regularly need to call a real human and talk. The maps are wonderful, but they still require a degree of interpretation, like when a rail line is closed and the shuttle replacement isn’t listed. Just the other day I had to bother an airport employee to figure out where that shuttle pick up was. Having had that experience I don’t think it makes me better.

I have empathy for unnecessarily difficult situations, that doesn’t make me want to maximize the existence of those. It motivates me to build better software, do better work, and contribute more to public efforts to make the world a better place for humans.

Again, there’s no binary choice, people should use every tool at their disposal to maximize their happiness. I’ve got a perfectly good phone, but I walked the streets of a new city for 13 miles, soaking in the sights and sounds, and making minimal use of my phone, checking every few miles to make sure I didn’t overshoot my targets (parks and botanical gardens).
In the article he mentions “Their goal is just to exterminate all Uighurs in one way or another”, if that is the case, why not just shoot them all? Why did they let him out?
I remember seeing people using flash cards in various science and math classes. The only thing that helped me to remember algos and derivations was to use them on some practical problem. I am as much as kinesthetic as visual learner, I think mainly because it keeps my brain from going into zombie repetition land. Don't even try to teach me something by just babbling about it in front of a class room. I need to experience the learning in some fashion. When all that fails I'll fall back on rote memorization and flash cards. I can definitely see its place in learning foreign languages (at least at the start, I always did better by using the words in sentences that forced me to think about them more than just as a jumble of letters)
> even if they disagree with that, is not a benefit.

The time for "disagree" is long past. Viruses and pandemics aren't a matter of opinion. Facts don't care about your feelings.

I'm a coward. Got no problems admitting that. I also have elderly relatives who I don't want getting sick and potentially dying. The sooner this pandemic is gone, the better I'll feel.

I actually want everyone to get their freedom of movement, freedom of religion (are churches open yet?), freedom to earn a living and pursue happiness back. I'm not just thinking of myself. Sorry if that calculus (freedom of movement + religion + others > freedom from masking) seems wrong to you - maybe we value different things.
Ultimately, this is specific of any form of government with too much power over its people. That’s a requirement of communism which is why this is often attributed to communism as an expected outcome.

It’s entirely possible in any form of government that disarms and controls its people, rather than empowers them.
I was hesitant to fly early this summer. As months ticked on, I didn't see any news about full flights getting infected in the way I would expect. I've seen countless stories of "x people went to event and 90% got Covid a week later" but as far as I could discern, almost nothing like that had come from flying. I chose to fly with a carrier (Delta) that I felt was handling the situation more responsibly by blocking middle seats. I'll say that the whole experience felt pretty fine. Airlines and airports have taken reasonable precautions at every step of the experience and I'll say I felt substantially more comfortable flying (except for wearing a mask for ~10 hours) than I've felt doing other risky activities like dining outside or going for a run/bike ride on a crowded trail in the park.

All businesses run on financial incentives (or what you call 'greed'). How is it possible that profit motive and associated laws that facilitate buying/selling be written off as unethical?
It's most certainly not. You don't have the right to any particular temperature and even if you did you couldn't prove beyond reasonable doubt who violated it and to what extent.

Property rights are always the most important issue.
Accessibility in Design: Things to Pay Attention To
Right, remember that it's controversial, in some sense, to have any part of the curriculum be "required". The moment you do, you have parents unhappy that a) schools are "teaching to the test", or b) their kid is being held back because s/he couldn't pass one of the standardized tests.

We have this debate about math and reading. Finance? Good luck.
I don't know what to say or describe my feelings after reading that article -- How can we help ?
Quality is not an easy thing to define, you can’t point at something and say, “that’s a quality”, there’s no thing that represents quality, like how you could say a compass would represent the word “direction”.

When pushed, we generally talk about quality products, usually high end cars like Porsche, Mercedes or Audi. We think of these as quality products because people are willing to pay large amounts for them. Their customers like the product enough to part with their hard earned cash.

However, If you agree with the agile manifesto, then "working software is the primary measure of progress", I think that gives the "zen-like sentence" you're talking about.

To help make it easier to understand, you can break down "working software" into two parts:

1. Objective, from a craftsmanship perspective, you can measure code coverage, performance and bugs.

2. Subjective, from a customer perspective, Does it meet their expectations? Is it useful, and secure? What are they comparing it to?

Hopefully you'll find this is easier to use than another pyramid.

I think anyone who has coded long enough would recognize that OOP, functional, imperative, etc all have their strengths and weaknesses, and all have problem domains they are better suited for. Unfortunately, this sometimes gets lost in the language fan wars - it’s easy to lose nuance when discussing something you are passionate about, I have made this mistake myself.

The opposite of what? I'm not making any claim here. Even in countries like the US, relative deaths from Coronavirus are small in comparison to overall deaths (ex. In US - an extremely hard hit country - between 3/1 and 8/1, 1.34M deaths occurred, only about 150K attributed to covid19).

My point was that one can't draw any CV conclusion from the Sweden death graph in the month of September 2020.

As to the strategy and effectiveness, that is subjective - they had a higher mortality rate than their Nordic neighbors but not a catastrophic level, I guess.

Try again. Read Federalist Paper 68.

https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-61-70

As well as the anti-Federalist Paper 72.

Also keep in mind the Framer's never intended or expected the formation of organized national conventions.

The Electoral College had zilch to do with slavery besides momentarily (in that time frame) possibly benefiting from how Southern States populations were calculated, but look how that turned out.

Also, if you specifically look at what was outlined in the Federalist Papers, a Faithless Elector was a feature, not a bug. Political parties have completely ruined it by orchestrating to try to legally compel voting via data rather than by conscience and good sense, which fundamentally undermines the proof against a crowd pleaser, but ultimately incompetent actor the Framer's were trying guard against.

I can understand being upset that the Electoral College doesn't seem to be working as promised, but it's the byproduct if taking the screwdriver that is the EC as designed and trying to use it to turn a nut. There is a level of not being applied as designed. You aren't going to fix that without revisiting some structural assumptions. Also, no, I squarely do not buy the Anti-Federalist tune that crowds are somehow free from being shaped and manipulated more than a small number of individuals relatively randomly selected put into a position of deliberation.

People are collectively pulled down in the fidelity of collective reasoning by the damping effects socialization and large numbers, prone to passionate but ineffectual reasoning, and represent a great indicator that something need be done, though amazing at constraining a problem space through Wisdom of the masses, but terrible at managing the gory details for all of the shouting going on.

A person is smart, capable of forethought, reasoned, and generally best equipped when given several options of being able to justify which is better, and developing a workable solution that balances against a wide variety if pre-existing weighting factors.

The entire intent of the structure of our political process was to filter the energy of the whole, into paths of effectively achievable actions to be carried by a few such that the Nation could be driven without an undue on everyone. If you hate Jury duty, imagine how bad life would be if you had to be polled constantly on every decision needing to be made whether you knew anything about it or not.
Well, although not very compelling, a couple new features are (1) you can highlight any and multiple days of the month (with different colors, even), and (2) you can choose the first day of the week more freely.

Increased car usage may also mean more air pollution and a more sedentary lifestyle.

If we shifted from walking (or biking or horseback riding, though seems less likely) then I'd expect heart disease to be much more of an issue.

The shift is from from buses and trains, heart disease is likely less of an issue, but air pollution still could be. We've also cleaned up our exhaust a lot over the years, which may offset that a lot.

I do think the other poster's comment about lower birth rates meaning an older population would likely be a much bigger contributor.
ØMQ – The Guide (2011)
Singapore is technically an island, but it's connected with the mainland and has a lot of daily trade and crossing - with (pre-covid) 200,000 daily commuters from Johor in Malaysia, including many lorry loads of fresh produce.

I'm not sure how Singapore kept up with trade, but they benefited form Malaysia being competent. I know that the "quarantine" the UK laughably imposes on people from France is pretty much irrelevant, with the number of people exempt longer than the number of people it actually applies to.

Why would you need to "stare at fact flashcards for hours on end"?

The whole idea is the opposite, to minimize learning time, and only stare at a flashcard periodically at the time when it makes more sense.
Good to know. I understand they exchanging the air with the outside every couple of minutes now, too, which seems very smart.

That is not true. Communism in its core is incompatible with any other system of beliefs. It must replace religions and customs in order to succeed, it must rewrite history in order to seem valuable.

So... is there any 'official' mirror by now? I mean the one that the original author and maintainers are using, not just all possible mirrors created by the community, there are dozens of them of course.
What's funny is that your comment doesn't contribute to the discussion or meaningfully respond to the parent. The parent comment touches on the statistical folly of overgeneralizing from small sample sizes, as well as points out a potential confounding factor to the death rate, which is implicitly considering Sweden's covid strategy. The parent doesn't attempt to judge the merit of their minimalist approach to covid response. So you're shoehorning the comment into a debate it wasn't trying to be in, it was merely attempting to contextualize the clickbait headline.
some of the places with the strictest lockdowns have the largest numbers of deaths

That doesn’t really tell you much about the short term efficacy of lockdowns, as they were enacted in response to an alarming rise in deaths.
The original language was designed to run on small devices and I don't think the designers thought of it as a useful feature for their kind of application domain. Steele wasn't even there at that time. Gosling also had only implemented a weak variant of Lisp (Mocklisp) before.
> cultural purging and crimes against humanity

These existed long before the concept of communism, we can debate communisms merits (of which it has some but not many) or we can actually discuss the crimes against humanity being perpetrated by a dual capitalist/communist society regardless of their political theory of choice.
Adding my 2 cents on how I approach storing important family photos:

1. Minimize footprint. Keep only the photos that matter; this usually ends up being the ones with you or a loved one in the picture. I spent a weekend consolidating and reduced all my photos for the last 20 years down to 15GB.

2. Use 1 consumer-grade service like Google Photos for easy day-to-day access and sharing; just makes life easier for you and your loved ones to access memories on-demand. This can be substituted with any privacy-friendly alternative or young service like Stingle.

3. Use 1 business-grade storage solution for an off-site backup. Business-grade is critical b/c it enhances the relationship and SLA the provider gives you. I use AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive; it's free to upload, cheap to store ($0.00099/GB/month), and a bit pricey to retrieve ($0.09/GB for egress). This is my last-resort/lifeline if everything else goes wrong and I need to get my data again. To save on per-file upload fees, I zip up pictures by album or year and use 7Zip or Keka to encrypt the zip with a password using AES-256 for added privacy. Also remember, AWS is creating at least 3 copies of your data across 3 AZs in one region!

4. Keep a copy of the pictures at home on an NAS, hard drive, or better yet your computer if you have the space. I already use Time Machine to auto backup my entire Mac on an external drive so this gives me in total 2 copies of my pictures (one on laptop and one on time machine backup).

In total this gives me 6 total copies of my pictures:

- 1x Off-site Google Photos

- 3x Off-site AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive

- 1x On-site Laptop

- 1x On-site Laptop's Time Machine Backup

I'm not too concerned if one service provider loses my pics or revokes my access; plenty more copies!

Please remember this only works if you religiously follow step 1. This will be an expensive and almost impractical setup if you enjoy holding onto 5TB+ worth of photos.

How is it possible to legislate electricity caps on google, according to some imagined threshold of "harm to environment"? Sounds like the number of lawyers involved would be the real harm in this scenario.
Might make sense to invest into a something like Mountainduck - 35 EUR (or similar software), and get an agnostic sync client. The great advantage is you can change the backend (switch to another service) without having to learn how to use anew client

> That is a perfectly valid approach, although when you need to coordinate development between multiple teams starting with a specification can be really helpful. That doesn't mean that the spec has to be written once and frozen, as long as everyone is aware of the changes and adapts accordingly.

True! I wonder if there's a good way to actually keep teams abreast. I actually end up writing specs by hand from time to time when I just want to get started quickly, but it can be such a pain.

Oh but one of the cool things I was able to set up is automatic generation of client libs (and pushing to a git repo) with GitLab -- it's really awesome to be able to automatically generate client libs that match your API versions.

> I have indeed started the development when I found that connexion does not completely meet my requirements. The main difference is that pyotr supports ASGI, so can work with any ASGI framework (I haven't tried it with Mangum yet, but am planning to). Additionally, pyotr has a client component, which was inspired by Bravado.

So I didn't actually know what ASGI was until I read your existing documentation! I'm not a huge python person but I'd heard of WSGI and some of the other variants but hadn't heard of ASGI! Thanks for the background on the client as well
Is there any other implementation of the same API, but not GPLv3? I'm thinking from LLVM or similar?
‘greg’ is not able to display more than one month by itself. If you only provide one argument, it’ll consider it as a month number, e.g. ‘greg 9’ for September (of the current year).

I had made a simple Bash script that displayed the calendar of a given month using ‘greg’ with ‘paste’, ‘columns’, and some other common utilities, but I haven’t uploaded it anywhere yet.

> * Rust compiling too slowly is just an attribute of its current implementation — there's nothing about the language itself that makes it any slower at compilation than, say, C++.

Two points here. One, a comparison to C++ is a little disingenuous because C++ is notorious for slow compile times already. Two, it’s not really accurate to say that Rusts compile time is an implementation detail. In fact, many times over the lifetime of Rust the Rust developers have traded off compile time for particular features that they wanted to add. Compare this to, say, Go, which refuses to add any feature without a serious consideration of compile time impact. Sure, the current implementation could be sped up - but it certainly wasn’t designed to be.

> exterminate all Uighurs in one way or another

In this context it seems to mean that it's politically easier to "re-educate" the Uighar away than straight out kill the Uighars. If some die during the process China doesn't care but it can't be accused of genocide which would raise more concern globally.

Hm. Would you call YAML a "serialization format" but not TOML? I'm not sure where to draw the lines of what is a "serialization format" (you can serialize to both yaml and toml, no?) but YAML and TOML feel to me like they are in the same space, human-readable representations of hash/array json-like data, ie serializations; not to you?

>Christianity, yes, is very human-centric but it is weird for an anthropologist to ignore this complexity

Well, Christianity, aside from angels, has a whole load of non-human creatures itself - cherubims, seraphims, etc.

And the case for aliens proper have also been considered for centuries. An example:

In a 2008 statement, José Gabriel Funes, head of the Vatican Observatory, said "Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God. This is not in contrast with our faith because we can't put limits on God's creative freedom".
