I like that quote! Can I use it? Whom do I attribute it to?
Time to Get to Work
Is the reason I took away the phones and gave my kids PCs. They create far more.
The community is filled with people from react/angular backgrounds.
I have to study for certifications and generally expand my technical knowledge outside of work. It's not constant, but my quarterly objectives aren't achievable without "homework."

Everyone is different though. Some people have lower stress jobs where they work for a single company and have plenty of time to learn new stuff on the job (or never really need to acquire new skills). But I work in consulting, so acquiring new skills while maximizing my billable hours is part of the game.
Depending on how much time and effort you want to invest, learning how something works will always be more useful than learning how to use it.
You can sue your provider for breaches in SLA. The rebate you automatically get likely exceeds what you'd otherwise recover. (Which is why they grant one). SLA payouts are usually very generous - I've gotten credit for the entire month for a one-hour outage of a service.

I don't know where this idea that cloud providers and other DCs don't pay out for SLA agreements is, but they absolutely do.
> Congratulations, your child is now in puberty.

Yes, it's like they are despair to find a simple explanation for their child disinterest in things they want her to be interested in when it's just their child growing up.
I agree with what you write, but I don't see what this has to do with price being the intersection of supply and demand curves.
Indeed. It seems that most of the people saying that cloud hosting is expensive have never run into the issues of making their own SAN, managing the provisioning of 20 different teams, etc.

The organizational complexity and specialist knowledge is mind-boggling and there is zero chance that your in-house knowledge is better than what Amazon can provide.
Well with case counts in the US doubling roughly every two weeks, you would expect to see the number of cases among trial participants there doubling over that period.
They probably kept most of the $3.2 billion. The burden of proof in civil asset forfeiture cases is on the property owner; in order to get their stuff back they have to prove that they qualify as an "innocent owner". Unless you have the time and money to hire lawyers and fight it out, you can kiss your stuff goodbye.

What exactly is the difference between a Californian white liberal changing spoken language forcing the whole world care about their petty politics and those nutjob charismatic Christians trying to ban rap videos during the 90's? Sure as hell not very exclusive or nice language, should we go start changing the culture of words too? Looks like you've become a full circle but it takes time to become self aware.
You can have a 100Wh main battery and a 300Wh spare battery, but not a 150Wh main battery? What is the reasoning for that?
There are multiple kinds of student loans in the US, but for the most common kind, the "bank" is just the US Treasury (via the Dept of Education). Any forgiveness of loans still would arguably be paid off by the taxpayer, but I think you're imagining loan forgiveness being more complex than it actually is.
Open Letter from Facebook Content Moderators
Does processing power translate to actual power? Will most stock market gains in the end go to the people with the fastest computers? Will wars be won by the groups with the most processing speed? Was Cyberpunk (slightly) wrong and it's just about having more memory and more instructions per millisecond than the rest? Are sophisticated circuits the new oil?
This landing page is the slickest demonstration I've seen of anything in programming
I started reading this article really really wanting to agree, but ended up thinking that a large part of the problem here is that the parent is not making enough effort to understand her child.

The parent says "my daughter was a creative genius, and then..." as if to imply that she isn't any more. But it sure sounds like she has creative pursuits to me:

* "She wants Roblox. All the kids have it, and it seems harmless enough. She’s building her dream house" This sounds like a creative pursuit to me.

* "She wants to talk with her friends. I don’t see any harm in FaceTime." She's talking with her friends.

* "She says she wants to do a TikTok while we’re in the “aesthetic” woods" She's creating TikToks! How cool is that, and how creative! Again we see she's not a passive consumer, she's still a creator - it's just that the medium has changed.

The real problem here is that the daughter used to pursue creative activities that the parent approved of (sewing, drawing). Now she does creative activities that the parent does not approve of or understand.

The parent should bridge the gap by trying to understand the things their daughter spends time on. Instead they lambast them from a distance! It's such a shame to me that the article ends with a note about how the parent will try to convince themselves that creating tiktok videos is creative. What?!? Creating videos isn't creative?? Of course it is! You should be encouraging and reveling in this sort of behavior!

I guess it particularly rankles because my parents did the exact same thing when I was young - they constantly tried to get me to stop using the computer. They never took the time to understand that I was using it creatively - I was coding games, writing books and poetry, learning python, modding warcraft 3. But of course they never saw the creativity in modding warcraft. "Oh, he's playing video games again..."

P.S. and as I suggested, I do agree with the premise - phones definitely can destroy creativity, they definitely are addictive, they definitely shouldn't be given to kids... These are critical problems, well worth addressing and being worried about. But if I had to choose a single thing that was even more important, it would be fostering understanding relationships between parent and child.
I have seen in healthcare more "bribery" than in any other industry I've ever worked. Whether quasi-legal in the shape of various kickbacks to outright illegal gifts of cash and goods. It is sadly endemic to the industry.

In part I think it happens more commonly because there is so much "other peoples money" in healthcare. Everyone is spending from someone elses checkbook and so transactions seem very distant.

I worked in a theater that had such a fan in the rafters. If we fired it up with the main traveler closed, the curtain would be pushed forward 30 degrees or more by the airflow, like a sail.
it's definitely toxic, but at the same time I do feel that the unrealistic expectations of my teachers prepared me well for the Real World. by the time I got to high school I realized that no one really did all the work. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to stand out from the pack a little bit to get mostly B's and A's. people set high expectations on the off chance that someone might actually meet them, not because the sky will fall if they don't.
It is weird, very weird. A very nice explanation of the proof is in a video by Mathologer "Ramanujan: Making sense of 1+2+3+... = -1/12 and Co." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcKRGpMiVTw

[spoiler alert]

You can extend finite summations to infinite summations. The first extensions are nice and you get intuitive results, and are the extensions studied in Calculus in the university.

But these extensions are not enough for this sum. You must make more bold extensions, and the results are not as intuitive, and not useful outside some special applications.
Just because SAD has had a lot of milk in it for the last 70 years, doesn't mean that we actually need it.

Milk consumption dropped and we need to drop financial incentives for it.
I like your definition of ambient TV. I like to turn off all the lights and use my OLED to light up a room using only 4K video of a 4-hr train ride. Now that's ambient tv.
It's sad to see how the engineer title has depreciated so much. React engineer?, Vue engineer?

There was a time when being an engineer implied high intellect and mastery of the physical and earth sciences. Nowadays, if you can modify a Wordpress template you can call yourself an engineer...
> OS X is replaced, Big Sur is now OS 11

Not really, that's just branding. I'm talking "replaced" like they replaced Classic Mac OS.
Rather the other way around: if they don't use a standard algorithm, it's probably beyond useless.

Maybe it's comparable to hiring a dev company that proudly proclaims they use a proprietary programming language that is a trade secret.

> can someone help me understand how this doesn't lead to inflexible hard to maintain soup?

It most likely does, but it's not old and popular enough for people to have accumulated enough technical debt within systems built with it.
Same for me. As a previously solo half-developer, Gary's videos really drove home how to do best-practice development on a real project. He pushed TDD, separating concerns, and really diving into a single line of code and obsessing over getting it right. Thanks Gary! Sad that he's not making them any more, I really enjoyed the "Web framework from scratch" series. He's recently posted a new video about TypeScript types which is also very good: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDzfXZxesMP-LUICN-RWcbQ
Did no one besides you read the article? FTA: "My husband and I said she could have a phone when she turned 14..."

People are arguing about everything from extended school hours, excessive homework to climate change in this thread.

Could it be that the daughter was raised in a highly sheltered environment and once she hit puberty, she had other interests besides collages, jewelry and sewing?

I wrote this in another comment...

"It's a tale as old as time. Every child is a genius, angel, perfect until they hit puberty. Then we find "rock 'n roll", "rap music", "radio", "MTV", "television" or other culprits for corrupting our youth. Today it is social media. Tomorrow it will be VR. God knows what comes after that."

The entire article is about an overprotective and controlling mother complaining that her daughter is now a teenager. Instead of blaming rap music, she's blaming the iPhone.
Every designer I've met loves consistency and design systems, but I've found that most design tools are too limited to cover the cases you are discuss. Figma can make a library of colors/fonts, but it doesn't have anything to enforce spacing constraints. It's very possible your designer would have been happy with w-6 or w-8, but their design tool didn't give them that feedback loop, so they pushed ahead with 28px.

I've been curious what a "Tailwind Linter" plugin for Figma would look like....

And when you watch Adam's screencasts, you'll see him take a design which has some "custom" pixel values and then use his judgement to snap it to a built in size.
Other than plausibly displacing ordinary workers, student teacher internships tend to meet the ordinary requirements as well. The standard that Lambda School would struggle with is "academic credit."
It was announced and there has always been a way to disable it. There is also a way to disable it on the intel macs.

And no it has not been announced before that you will be forced into notarization.
Thanks for sharing! I've never heard of free-for.dev.
> The only solution to break out of such a duopoly would be for tech oriented companies to stop being lazy and start building out their own cloud infra.

What competitive advantage do you get by making your own in-house, inferior version of an infrastructure service that won't benefit from AWSs economies of scale?
My developer co-workers and I have talked about teaching our designers how to code with Tailwind. The designers have no experience with writing code, but I still think its a good idea to start with Tailwind because you'll use many of the best practices and avoid a lot of the historic madness in the CSS world.
Doc: Mark ECMAScript modules implementation as stable
Solar Foods does look promising!
I would have thought that the most convincing argument would be that the company that made the software has deprecated the software and no longer supports it. However, it's not always the user's decision, and they are forced to use IE due to a corporate IT decision to lock down the users from allowing software installs (understandably).

I've used a product for doing webcasts that 90% of the users were on IE11. The training was for nurses using hospital provided computers that are locked down by their IT staff (for good reasons). These poor users are forced to use the default browser that came with the OS. Every single issue that the users had was from someone using IE. Some hospitals finally relented and deployed Chrome for the users doing the webcast.
but my Cards are design components, they don't have semantic classes. How is ctrl+f "border-b border-gray-200 py-6 flex items-center justify-between mb-16 sm:mb-20 -mx-4 px-4 sm:mx-0 sm:px-0" better than changing .myCard__title{}?

Some console games of this new generation have an option to enable ray tracing and play at ~28-30 FPS, or disable it to get to 60 FPS.

Apparently the 3060 with ray-tracing on and DLSS on beats the new consoles by a landslide.

Quite unfortunate to have consoles with ray tracing hardware that you cannot really use if you want to play at a decent FPS rate.

Good news is v1.9 supports IE11 and is pretty damn good already. A lot of the updates here are just default config options for tailwind, that you can add yourself to mimic 2.0
I've noticed a lot of practitioners use PhraseExpander or some other shortcut writing tool to write their patient notes - I'm curious to know how they get around the HIPAA certifications, especially since they are a dedicated key logger on top of any OS.

Do you have any insight in this arena? I wonder if it is because they are not 'the record,' but instead are 'tools to create' the record that is eventually uploaded and stored in another platform?

Might be a tangential question, thanks for the patience
You're right - I misspoke, and that likely makes more sense at their scale. At some point, I am sure they will again run the numbers.
I think we can all agree that heavy alcohol consumption is bad for your health. However I'm pretty skeptical that a moderate amount of alcohol consumption, say 1-2 drinks per week, is any higher risk to your health than the many other activities we engage in to live a happy and engaging life, as other commentators have pointed out.

Anecdotally it seems that the people who take these things to the extremes (i.e. never have even a single drink because drinking alcohol is bad for you) tend to stress out about a lot of other things as well. Obviously if someone doesn't drink because they find the effects unpleasant that's different, but I'm talking about the kinds of people who for example are overly concerned about microplastics (to the point of not eating any food that has been stored in a plastic container), or air quality (co2 monitors in every room, etc), or diet (will not touch anything with nitrates, only eat unprocessed foods, etc).

To a point, yes all of these things are legitimately harmful to your health, but having this kind of mentality is also not great for your well-being. Really perhaps the highest health-yield lifestyle change they could make is to relax a bit more and try not to get stressed out as much through meditation/mindfulness

Not sure why, but SV in particular seems to attract a lot of people with this kind of mentality.
Yeah I was being facetious
Of course the criticism can also apply to Hawking radiation but it wouldn't be a particularly strong or even novel critique. Scientists already understand that an experimentally unverified prediction in theoretical physics could end up being wrong. If Hawking radiation does end up being wrong, however, it would most definitely result in some groundbreaking insights because Hawking radiation is itself built upon a set of assumptions that have a lot of experimental evidence.

The multiple solutions to the black hole information loss problem all depend on a set of assumptions that do not have that same degree of experimental evidence and so the concern is that physicists will converge on the solution that they find most comforting, likely based on ideology or whatever is fashionable, rather than converge on the solution that has the most evidence. The article says that getting actual empirical data to determine which competing solution is correct is virtually impossible.

So sure, Hawking radiation can be wrong and we have very little empirical data to support it, but it's not a theory that's competing with any other theories strictly on the basis of math equations derived from a set of assumptions. It's a theory that is almost uniquely derived from a pre-existing set of assumptions that do have a large body of empirical support whereas the solutions to the black hole information loss problem are not.
> Why would SK and allies use the same weapons as NK instead of the far more advanced (capable) weapons SK and allies possess?

You are right that they might not use the same weapons, but long-range precision guided artillery is expensive. Because the shells are expensive, not all countries have enough to use them without limit as was the case in WW2 - where in the last few months of the Western Front the allies preferred to expend munitions rather than their own soldiers' lives.

That was an excuse, not a trigger for war.

War was desired by all parties - at least in the beginning. People celebrated when war started - look up archive photos and movies. Everybody thought that they'll have a nice fight, down a beer at the pub afterwards and be home by Christmas - effectively rehashing the last Prussian war 30 years before.

What nobody perceived at that time is technology changed enough to make the war catastrophic, and it took 2 world wars for that perception to sink in.
Homework took more time than housework - and I can decide not to do housework on any given day. I keep a cluttered house because I'm OK with that. Not to mention that housework takes very little mental effort - in fact, it is a grand time to daydream and get ideas (like showering). These are not the same beasts at all.

The second job is closer to homework, so long as you are doing it most nights and it takes some mental effort. And gee, it seems that having two jobs will pretty much kill creativity also and cause folks to burn out. At least with a second job, you are probably older. Teens and pre-teens simply aren't there mentally.
Dovetails nicely with all the weird music these days (lo-fi, binaural, whatever else, meant to be backgrounded and not paid attention to).

I guess the remaining medium which you can't just numb your body out to is the written word? Books (esp. classics) are still just as intriguing and engrossing as they were when they came out. You can't _really_ binge a book like a TV show. Books don't have live concerts where the point is entirely other than the enjoyment of the content. Books benefit from all the technological advancements of today (e-readers, e-ink, digital copies, etc) without having to become vapid background scenery as a result.

And of course, books make way way way less money than movies and music as a result. Not sure what I've proven here, but just the thoughts I had while reading this article.
Isn't cyberpunk partly about companies having these most powerful tools to control (predict) people?
Svelte is better than Vue and React, IMHO, especially for typical startups building typical websites. Svelte is faster to learn, makes smarter decisions, and has compile-time checking.

I teach all 3 to teams, and the top advantages of each as I see them: React for job opportunities and pre-built sophisticated code (e.g. Telerik Kendo), Vue for easy on ramp for JS/CSS/HTML developers who want to phase in dynamics (e.g. sprinkle ins akin to Alpline JS), and Svelte + Sapper for the best developer experience and fastest sites.
This is explicitly what I’m calling out at the end. They didn’t all disappear or retire; it’s an ongoing process. Think COBOL programmers.
You'd increase the "free tier" a bit but with the trade-off of much more complex coding. I'm not really sure if I'd be worth it.
Google search has become terrible. I was doing some biology research and it kept on pushing covid results and news about it.

In other cases it is as if, whenever possible, google will choose an interpretation that best suits some ideological interest rather than the most useful.
Or maybe this is just PR with a clear but maybe oversimplified statement...

Yet they have 2 full year to see how it goes and work around all the edge case. I bet nobody except professional haters will complain if they soften the rules in 18 months.
Why not get an Android device?
Gotcha, thanks. Just got the thing so I didn't realize that was the case. I suppose it's not overly surprising, knowing Apple. I doubt they would allow real Firefox on an iPad even though it technically can probably run on it now.
I can see that more for mid- or large-sized enterprises...If i was such an org, and already had some investment in infrastructure, then hybrid is what i would look at first. Not sure that i hear that so often though. Mostly, what i hear about is, "let's go to the cloud!". Oh well.
I thought its because of your love of heavy metal!
Biden himself is very old, but from what I've seen he's going to focus on installing competent people, many of them younger, instead of picking "old friends". Whereas Trump has spent his entire presidency ejecting competent people (usually because they "disagreed with him") and replacing them with his mostly-elderly buddies, many of whom aren't remotely qualified for the positions they've been handed. Rick Perry was the Secretary of Energy for goodnessake.
>I don't know about the funding's of anti-oil interests in the US, do you mean they are not funding competitors but companies that may benefit Norway ?

No, they fund politicians and lobbies. For example, they funded the Clinton Foundation to buy political favors... which they cut significantly after Clinton lost the 2016 election. The idea was to get the Democrats to push back on fracking, so that the Norwegian oil remains relevant for a longer time.
