How do I remove likes videos from my liked music. This annoys me the most after being force to switch from google music.
Yea until the same problems just get applied everywhere instead of in one state only.

I prefer keeping many things at the state level. It’s much more difficult to be involved in government when you’re trying to vote in a pool of 350,000,000 people with different interests. Democracies lose effectiveness as population increases.

Let's not pretend that we can't find some other way to allocate billions of collider dollars. I don't see it as a problem with her argument that she doesn't promote an alternative, because I'm sure then the critics would say that the alternative isn't promising enough. Yes we need to go into the unknown, but the point is that at some point, it's not cost effective to do that, and we live in a world with constrained resources where we can do more good by investing elsewhere.

Yeah, the only thing I personally wanted from this huge WFH push was just the option of flexible working. Before the pandemic I never even had the option. Now I do have the option, and that's great.

I'm never going to push for everyone working from home, or everyone working from the office. It should be flexible, it should be easy to make that choice when it suits you.

Some weeks I'll go into work every day, some weeks I'll have a few days work from home. That's how I want to work. I still put in the face time, I still get to see most people. I just get to have a more relaxing time working from home now and then.

I could never be a fully remote worker right now. But I'd always advocate for more flexibility. And I'll be honest, I like seeing my work colleagues, we have a laugh, and I'd miss that in a permanent work from home setting.

In a place with wall windows, quite possibly! But it really depends on the airflow.

You can use a co2 meter as a proxy. Outdoor levels are generally around 450 in a city. If your indoor space with open windows is there, you’re probably basically outside. If it is higher, you’re not.

See here for example, co2 is a commonly used tracer gas: https://www.ghdonline.org/uploads/Measuring_Air_Changes.pdf

—————

To be clear. I think very few restaurants have enough windows to really be like outside with a bunch of people in there.

I had a look at the greenhouses. Key difference from indoor dining: they prevent superspreader events. The problem with indoor dining is you have 30+ unmasked people dining in a poorly ventilated room. One infected person can infect many others.

In a two person tent an infected person can infect at most their dining partner, assuming waiters are provided good sanitary measures.

$ was taken from Perl

https://stackoverflow.com/a/3073818

but because early PHP was more simplistic than Perl it only has $.

Powershell also uses $ for variables.

Regardless of etymology of the $ sign and the usefulness of it, personally I like it because it makes it easier for me when I'm reading code, especially if you are scanning fast, to differentiate variables from symbols. Yes, you can get that with your editor too, but for me it is easier to associate the $ sign with a variable rather than a specific color, sometimes you don't have coloring available like when in command line going thru diffs, cat, nano etc.

> Einstein (and others) took fifteen years to develop the relativity theories that did not require any new theoretical or experimental input.

Further to that, when Einstein worked in the patent office, it's likely that applications related to railroad time synchronization crossed his desk, inspiring his work on relativity.
I think a better analogy would be that the PHP carpenters have standard old tools that people have used forever, and they work just fine. Normal hammer with wooden handles, normal planes, etc etc.

But there are modern carpenters that have hammers that are 100% metal and never break and actually improve your hammering power. The new electric hand planes work a lot faster, though you do have to be more careful because they can get out of hand quicker. etc etc.

In the end, they both build houses. The old-school carpenters might take longer, and they might have to know more techniques, but they get there in the end.

On the other hand, the modern carpenters sometimes go a littler overboard with their tools and have problems that old-school carpenters don't have, especially with their tools randomly stopping working in the middle of a job. It might not be often, but it happens.

To add to that, the old-school carpenters can actually use a lot of the new tools, too. They fit into the workflow and can be adapted to their old tools. It's just that they primarily stick with their old tools because they're used to them.

It's kind of interesting how much the world of woodworking and software development overlaps in that way.

> Isn’t it nice (...) advance our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature?

The criticism is that the ROI = (the potential advance) / (invested money) is too small. As you pointed out it can be argued that the real goal is elsewhere: in the engineering / technology or science of complex systems. Creating a big machine that verifiably works brings many unexpected advances in many fields. And what is more important it is a symbol of human advancement which unites people and inspires them to pursue science. Since humans need a clear goal to invest much resources in a constructive endeavor. It may not be that important though that the ROI in fundamental physics is small, as long as people work hard together. But it can be argued that the whole process begins to resemble religion more than a scientific method; which can be problematic as religions have a bad reputation among scientific community.

It seemed kind of obvious to me even at that time that it was taken from Perl. I just didn't get why. PHP could have lifted IMPLEMENTATION DIVISION from COBOL, but likewise, there would have been no point either (fortunately it didn't do that!).
> This is really the large problem with her criticisms: the case that exists is for particle physics getting less priority, but her argument is that it should stop completely, the collaborations disbanded, and everyone goes to find a new job because they can't be trusted to think clearly.

Huh? Where is she saying this? Everything I've read from her suggests that she's against building bigger accelerators, not stop investigating particle physics.

E.g. from http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/03/nonsense-arguments-...:

> Science is exploratory and to make progress we should study what has not been studied before, true. But any new experiment in the foundations of physics does that. You can probe new regimes not only be reaching higher energies, but also by reaching higher resolution, better precision, bigger systems, lower temperatures, less noise, more data, and so on.

> No one is saying we should stop explorative research in the foundations of physics. But since resources are limited, we should invest in experiments that bring the biggest benefit for the projected cost. This means the higher the expenses for an experiment, the better the reasons for building it should be. And since a bigger particle collider is presently the most expensive proposal on the table, particle physicists should have the best reasons.

>This is why employment law needs to be take away from the states - have one federally defined set of laws - stops a race to the bottom.

It's not that hard to imagine a world where Chester Cheeto wins in a landslide, the Republicans get a healthy majority in congress and the Kochs convince them to repeal most existing federal labor law.

Will you be clamoring for federal labor and employment law then?

Sure, there might be 40-something states with lower cost of doing business than CA. But is that status quo really worse than one where the federal government both controls employment law and guts it? If CA really is doing it right then surely the people working menial jobs will be better off, have more income, spend more income and their economy will grow, the rules will be a net-positive overall and other states will adopt similar ones.

"Chemical imbalance" is a dangeous over-simplication or at worst a total fabrication; pharmaceutical marketting copy. Whether SSRIs are helpful or not, I'm always surprised by the lack of awareness of side effects and the fact that the medical system is simply not equipt to help you in dealing with discontinuation. ACT therapy, for instance, has been immensely beneficial in reframing my own mental health issues (Anxiety being primary), and I get the added bonus of not having to treat the side effects of my side effects' side effects, which is kind of a relief...having witnessed the fallout of this drug or that when taken chronically for years and the little help that can be given at that point; chemical imbalance indeed.
Maybe think of money everytime you see the $ symbol, to make it more palatable? :P

On a serious note, I find the JS ecosystem more annoying than PHP. Modern frameworks like Laravel (Laravel is nice to work with), PHP is more than enough for its intended use - web applications. PHP 7 has good performance improvements too.
> you can structure equity so that you retain control even without a large holding of shares (see: Palantir, Facebook).

I'm a little confused about this though. If class A shares have all the votes (while most shares are class B shares), what prevents the market from valuing the class A shares at an extremely high value and the class B shares not at all? When the company finally gets big and stops growing, the source of its value to shareholders will be the dividends that it pays and it will be the voting class A shareholders that decide how dividends are allocated.

At the moment Zero. WhatsApp on its own doesn't make any money at all. Apart from some meta data about you and your contact.

But WhatsApp on itself doesn't cost much to run. They had 1B user and was running it on 50 Big FreeBSD Box. With a tiny engineering team. And that was with Hardware and Software from 6 - 7 years ago. Modern Hardware with all the BEAM VM improvement would made it even lower. ( Kind of Amazing if you think about it )
Because those of us who know and have used several languages tend to develop a preference for expressiveness, terseness, safety, and dare I say, elegance.

PHP (and JavaScript) gained and maintain their relevance, despite being inferior languages, because of their historical placement. I'm sure COBOL has improved over the years, and we know it is still used and "needed"... because of its historical placement. But you probably wouldn't use it, either, unless you had to (or you didn't know a better alternative).

I don't agree with her initial gripe. Discovery or serious exclusion - it is not weasel words, it is the truth. The correct question to ask is if the exclusion would be enough to warrant the cost. And of course this is far from the only result one would expect from such a machine. So these are not empty promises and while she clearly is not stupid, Hossenfelder sure loves telling people their research is useless...

Edit: are you downvoting because you don't think my comment contributes to the discussion, or because you don't agree?
Only if you work alone. If you're in a team, you'll eventually have to start dealing with the new stuff.
Yeah, it does get tiring that all the novelty in her writing shows up in the sections describing the well known history of the standard model resisting all attempts at being made into a theory.

But apparently the only point worth making is progress in particle physics has been slow. Well, to be fair the point Hossenfelder tries to make is that there's been no progress, and since that's not actually true convincing people of it regardless takes more work.
You are aware that Chef can be used in the same capacity with Terraform, right?

It's still static in the sense that the method is tied to a class, not to an object instance. Does that mean it's "less" static? I wouldn't say so.

Well, if you had a dollar every time you typed one... ;)
A study or concrete example is necessary to know whether it is truth or a just-so fantasy. I don't think thinking about it is enough; even though we know people improve with the right kind of practice, if you're judged purely by quantity, there is no guarantee of improvement.
They really have to. Android wasn't a serious competitor with the iphone but the phones running Linux are pretty rapidly improving. At this point they're actually usable and since the users themselves are able to fix core problems with the OS it won't be long before Apple will be forced by the market to actually behave.

How can you seriously make an argument about efficient allocation without discussing the alternatives you choose between? Is it even logically possible to define efficiency without comparing alternatives?
I'm a huge fan of FOSS, but open source products also have to stand on their own merits. The best way for FOSS to succeed is for FOSS products to be as good or better than closed alternatives. Otherwise they will always be relegated to a small audience of a few die-hards.
My point is that "neither is preferable" should be considered as well. ;)
The mere fact that a party strategy is based on "alternative facts" disqualifies it in my eyes. Even if they might be right on everything else, one just shouldn't use made-up lies to win arguments, or votes.

That's a whole bunch of items in one place. I don't disagree, to get better cooperation and efficiency in a group, languages and tooling have to adapt. That's part of my point, if what you're doing is the same, the languages will look the same.

But I quite disagree with the "it made our lives better" point, and would say that the efficiency, even with all the standardized language outlook, tooling and methodology is closer to the "9 women getting a baby in 1 month" quip than to Ford's assembly lines.
> Active teaching doesn't scale.

This is so very true.

> For most students in most subjects, learning requires active teaching.

I strongly disagree with this. I was homeschooled through high school and taught myself for most subjects during high school - my parents gave me textbooks and teacher's manuals, said "ask us when you get stuck," and I went to town.

That's largely how I approached college, too - attended lectures, did the assignments and read the textbooks.

That was a big mistake on my part - I could have gotten so much more out of my education if I'd really developed relationships with my college professors and worked with them more.

Nonetheless, I did manage to learn most of what was in my CS program that way.

I'm no genius, and I really think anyone with a normal brain can do what I did (given the time and resources to focus on study).

Is self-teaching plus active teaching better than self-teaching plus lectures? Absolutely. You'll spend far less time struggling and being stuck, and your teacher will be able to communicate new ideas directly to you so much better than they can to a whole crowd.

Nonetheless, I think for most subjects it just isn't actually necessary. It's a luxury, lovely when you can get it, but not required for learning.
