> E.g., valorizing the performative anti-caring about what people think. To me that's a sign of insecurity and/or a trauma reaction to some past person who was overbearing.

I can't recall ever meeting even one person who didn't get somewhat scarred over the fact that he/she disagreed with the majority of the people around them [at least once in their lives]. That insecurity, as you call it, is IMO present in most people these days. Whether it's a trauma or not though, I can't argue in an informed manner.

But I do believe it's a very normal trait of all social animals. There always comes one point where the collective shows you, usually through the medium of violence (physical or emotional), that they don't appreciate you thinking or acting differently.

> For me, true independent thinking comes from listening to others without judgment and choosing for myself. Positive attachment and negative attachment are both attachment.

I only knew two such people who were able to be genuinely completely detached and they indeed didn't care who thought what. But they were almost dead inside, to me watching on the side at least. They also had almost no desires of their own. I didn't envy them at all, I actually thought they were sick.

Your statement reminds me of a Buddhist teaching but if memory serves, one of their proverbial wise men said that this is an ideal to strive towards knowing that you will never truly reach it. And that's a good thing. Complete lack of attachment would make me think something is seriously wrong with you. So I interpreted that advice -- "don't get attached" -- more along the lines of "don't burden yourself with things you can't change or which would take too much energy or time to change; just let go and give yourself in to the things you genuinely care about" -- something along those lines.

All of this is obviously my opinion based on life experience and observations, of course. I wouldn't dream of presenting myself as a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

Outside of this small paragraph of yours I found myself nodding my head at the entirety of your comment and I agree completely with it.

Possibly but you would need to show something more, such as job creation or some connection to medical research or healthcare or infrastructure.
We need to do it mostly because AWS requires it if you want to get into certain tiers with their partnership and/or publish images on the marketplace.

We rarely (if ever) actually communicate our AWS certifications, except towards AWS themselves.
Feta is not a region in Greece. Feta is a type of cheese that has the whole of Greece as the terroir. It’s also made with sheep and goat milk and the cow-based cheese that resembles it (white cheese, salad cheese etc) just doesn’t compare taste wise.

With all that said, if you see (in the EU) something being called Feta, you immediately know what it’s made of and that it’s made in Greece.
Generally, rephrase the problem in abstract terms.

Abstraction gets rid of the irrelevent minutiae of the specific problem and gives us the opportunity to solve the more general problem first. There may be a series of increasingly abstract representations of the problem, like a hierarchy classes in OOP.

My (rather vague) understanding of mathematicians is that they have a menagerie of increasingly abstract math objects (sets, groups, categories), and are able to apply proofs from the more abstract objects to any of the derived objects. This seems to work well for them.

So, if possible, try to solve the problem at the highest abstration layer first. If you don't suceed there then try to solve it at the next layer instead. If you do succeed, then you have a general solution that applies to that abstraction layer and all layers below it (possibly with tweaks, like overridden methods in OOP).

Wrt the specific question ("what is the best way to organize a liberal democracy of >100M citizens?"):-
This problem is already fairly abstract, but first, define "best", "organize", and "democracy".

-We can only know a solution is best if we first find all solutions. Depending on the problem, this might not be worth the effort, an aproximate solution might be adequate.

-In this context I assume that 'organise' means getting the population to do something.

-Quite a few countries have elections, are they all democracies?

Some relevent questions to consider are:

-Is the aim to get the population to all agree on an action?

-Is there a clear benefit to a proposed action, or is it subject to unknowns?

-Is the population rational?

-Do they understand the advantages of action?

-Are there any disadvantages of action? Do they understand those?

-In general any solution is likely to have a number of different aspects each with their own costs and benefits (monetary cost, time cost, health cost, ...)

-Are all members of the population equally affected by the advantages and disadvantages, or are subsets affected unequally? This is likely to be unanswerable, given that individuals are likely to assign different costs to different aspects.

-Can they be coerced? (Yes, liberal democracies coerce too! think taxes on carbon fuel for example).

In a problem that compares apples and oranges and shellfish and pyramids, "The best way to organize..." seems to depend on the whim of whoever happens to be pulling the levers of power; there is no best solution to this.
They are not. Locked down = Apple explicitly prevents it through code signing.

Here, Apple doesn't prevent it in any way, and drivers can be developed. (drivers not present in Linux is not and will never mean that a device is locked down, don't stretch things please)
It's really not; it's just that malware of today does much more than that.
The comments here are killing me.

I'm fed up with people in tech thinking that certifications are a bad thing, or somehow a negative sign in a candidate.

The reason why is bc there are so many people in tech who are self taught. So when a senior self taught person without a cert sees any mention of a cert in their domain, they get insecure bc they do not have that cert. That senior thinks - "great, more stuff to learn." Then that senior vents to anyone, even on hacker news, whining that certs aren't necessary and people who have them are somehow less knowledgeable.

> I think this is not the type of person I would want to hire for AWS. It’s kind of like learning AWS for the sake of passing a course.

LOL WUT? How about that's exactly the type of person you want to hire. And you wonder why the knowledge levels between candidates vary so much and why there is a skills shortage.

How about - certifications are a good thing. It's a good thing that people with no knowledge have a goal of at least some level knowledge that someone more experienced somewhere decided that the level of which to pass such certification is a generally agreed upon base line.

SMH. This attitude needs to change, but I doubt it ever will.

Edit - yesssss, here come the downvotes. Keep em coming, boys.

Even if Microsoft's x86-64 emulator will be slower than Rosetta2 (and given their different approaches, it likely will), having that run on an ARM Mac will likely still be the best experience for Windows on ARM.

The thing holding back Windows on ARM is one of the key selling points of Windows: all your legacy programs just work. Windows is far, far superior in this over macOS and even Linux [1]. Windows 1.0 apps run on a modern Windows 10 install. For that to be a thing on Windows on ARM, you need high emulation performance. The Snapdragons that Windows on ARM devices come with just are not up to that task at all.

Making Windows on ARM more enjoyable to use and more accessible to developers (which are more likely to have Macs than underpowered niche devices) should really incentivize Microsoft to get Windows to run on ARM Macs at least using virtualization. Virtualization on Apple Macs is solving a supply problem of high performance, reasonably easy to buy hardware for both Microsoft and Linux distros aiming to work well on ARM.

[1]: Although ironically, Wine on Linux/Mac is often even better at running legacy Win32 programs than Windows is. But I digress.
According to Geekbench 5:

AMD 5800U (7nm), single-core 1421, multi-core 6450

Apple M1 (5nm), single-core 1613, multi-core 6489

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/5021403?baselin...

Note that a large part of the M1 multi-core score is due to advantages in Machine Learning and AES-XTS. Without those it would be behind AMD's processor and I don't see ML or AES being relevant for most users.

Makes me wonder what will be AMD's 5nm performance.

A lack of subpoena powers doesn't mean they can't look into it!

Take this article on the US Meat Animal Research Center (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/20/dining/animal-welfare-at-...) as a good example of an organizational misconduct investigation done right. Dr. Keen told the Times they're doing some abusive things to the animals. So the Times talked to a bunch of employees, and reviewed a bunch of documents, in order to make sure they could accurately and concretely describe specific instances of wrongdoing. This is the quality of journalism the New York Times is generally known for. It would be a much worse article - both less fair to the research center and less convincing about the accusations - if they hadn't dug in like that.
Do you have a source for this? I'm not aware of any estimates that attribute almost 100% of US deaths to our poor public health response. That would imply that there was a realistic scenario in which we'd have roughly zero deaths. Though there are countries that managed this, I've yet to see any evidence that this is _entirely_ attributable to public health levers (and there are a few characteristics in common among many of them: many are small islands, many had been hit badly by pandemics in the past, almost all are East Asian, and IIRC none of them are large federal systems, a massive exogenous variable when it comes to governance).

Wow, look at point 7 for digital goods. As I understand it

* Security patches help determine the lifetime of the goods

* Feature changes must be reversible and can't diminish performance/responsiveness

So you can buy a smartphone, and if it says 3 years expected lifetime, the company must patch it for 3 years. If the company adds an antifeature, you reverse it.

For the peoples living in the decline and aftermath of those collapses, yes they absolutely lost a lot of knowledge. What was common knowledge or specialized in different trades was replaced with ignorance. They didn't know how to farm in the same way or manufacture the same goods, they didn't understand the principles behind the infrastructure that was now crumbling around them, etc. They lacked the engine of broadly perpetuating knowledge we call civilization. Sure, there were individuals in certain places that possessed a fair amount of knowledge, but that knowledge was not widely distributed, and thus it was fragile.

For those collapsed civilizations, it was only that there were sufficient remaining resources in the earth and that their civilization was geographically limited that after centuries and many injections of knowledge from elsewhere that they were able to slowly bounce back, to rediscover what they lost.

The risk today is that we're so interconnected, we've extracted so much of earth's resources, and we've set ourselves on a path towards permanent environmental change, that we may not get another chance at civilization. It may be we recede back to ignorance permanently.
Around me, they still cost twice as much as a CGA or Hercules (or even dual) monochrome monitor. The starter Amiga cost twice the starter PC until 1993 or so, and by then the war was lost. It was too expensive for a middle class family where I lived.
To me it is akin to saying:

1921: "Why learn a Underwood typewriter and learn all their marketing junk?"

It just actually means you want to learn how to type. Sure the brand you learn on is a "Underwood" - but the concepts and structure are transferable. YES! You don't have a CAPS lock feature.

Cloud companies are just as weird and envious as the rest of us. So they copy!! If you can learn s3 you wont be shocked by any principals of gcs. Cloud tech is transferable. Cloud containers? Docker works on both.
I'm more interested in what the other CPU makers come up with, or if there will be some other competition not from AMD or Intel. Not that x86 isn't great, but it seems that this is a leap forward that can't be ignored.
I disagree. I've worked with two groups of professionals, those that have certification and those that say they "know" AWS or have working knowledge or experience. It's quite painful to work with the latter when you depend on their expertise.

Give the content a try, you'll find at the foundation of it is building highly scalable distributed system, just that the execution of it is via AWS. You can apply the same knowledge to any cloud platform.
there is certain good in diversity which comes from immigrants from different locations altogether with skills and natural resources it was a factor that allowed US to build the most powerful economy in the world. However, times change. I remember from lessons of History in the Univesity that every civilization has phases: Establishing, Prosperity, Decay. It is obvious that average impact at each of the three phases might be different.
Also it might be that in the North and in the South the impact is opposite.

No they need to pay the athlete to wear the brand. Otherwise he wears a different brand that pays him. They also pay for the time the athlete spends making ads for the brand.

If the player just wears the brand through their own choice and they company advertises "As worn by Jordan in NBA all-star game!" then they would not need to pay.

Ads and stats are two completely different things.

SQLite has the rare combination of being superbly stable and backwards compatible (thus, little motive for systems to keep it up to date) and regularly shipping new features I want.

As a result, I like to statically link it into the binary, when possible. Life is too short to write a bunch of feature discovery and graceful degradation code.

If it's a simple Medium article, sure. If it's a monstrosity (for example, this: https://onezero.medium.com/how-to-destroy-surveillance-capit...), it doesn't get parsed correctly.

As for Twitter, you can bookmark a link to the tweet, but it won't parse a Twitter thread for example. Same applies for thread compilers (like https://threadreaderapp.com/).

Probably the biggest annoyance with Pocket is that you can highlight stuff, but you can't export your highlights. It has an API, but it doesn't support highlights. Contacting them about that resulted in something like "we're a small team and have no API expansion updates we're willing to share right now" (paraphrasing). They also protect their sign-in form with Google's Captcha, making it non-trivial to scrape that info. The best option I found (https://github.com/karlicoss/pockexport) requires fiddling with browser's dev tools to get the consumer_key, but I couldn't be bothered to get that to work.

Memex (https://getmemex.com/) just gives you a browser extension that allows you to highlight nearly every text on desktop, but becomes completely useless on phones (they're too locked down for something like that to work).
Unlike erlang, though, when it crashed, it crashed.

RIP Guru meditation.
AWS also gives companies discount on their AWS bill if number of their engineers take AWS certifications. And that's just a great tool to hook more companies into their services. More AWS certified engineers are there and hired, more likely for companies to choose or stay on AWS. Because those engineers are going to recommend AWS for doing their job.
If it’s your day job, it comes as a part of the trade, just like developers are intrinsically aware of the JVM or CLR etc internals.

That is false. Example: unemployment rate of youth in Spain for 2019 was 32.9%, the rate for same period in US was around 9%. Similar situation in other Northern Europe countries, with high unemployment rate especially among youth, as they are the most vulnerable to minimum wage laws which limit their ability to acquire skills and experience needed to move to higher paying jobs.
The late Christopher Hitchens was a drink sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay, of course. But one we needed.

His 'Letters to a Young Contrarian'(2001), though filled with himself[0], remains a heartfelt read for anyone going about the world in their own way. If you can get a used copy, preferably filled with marginalia, treasure it, add your own thoughts, and pass it along. The always unique comments railing against Hitch will be worth the effort. More so when all agree.

Paul may wish to pick up a copy, though I suspect he just needs to re-read the one on his shelf.

> So in that respect, Clojure's doseq is recursive.

The implementation is recursive, but the user facing interface isn't really.

> I don't know what you mean by "matter"

I mean that in any real world code, at least any that I've encountered in ten years of Clojure and ~20 of Python, the difference has not impacted any actual code that I've written. Sure, in Python I have seen and used "break" but in Clojure it has never been necessary.

> A classic for-loop is prone to...

Ok, so you're actually arguing in favour of non-classic for loops? I certainly agree. Even in C++, I try to avoid traditional loops in favour of range-based loops or the standard library abstractions like std::for_each, std::transform etc. I think maybe we're on the same page, I thought you were arguing that the lack of classic for-loops was a deficiency and I was just saying that in Clojure it doesn't actually matter that its loops aren't the classic ones.

> Now I don't know if the further differences between Clojure doseq and Python for would also result in safer code.

Probably not. I think Clojure does result in safer code, but for other reasons than the differences between doseq/for, as you say yourself. I don't think break is a common source of defect, personally, but I also don't find the lack of break a problem in Clojure: you only use doseq when you need side-effects, why would you need to break/continue? Typically you'll already have filtered the list before calling doseq anyway.

> Personally I don't know, I'd say maybe not.

I agree, I don't think its a big deal either way.

> Clojure also favours the use of its immutable

Yes, I think that (at least in my own experience), Clojure tends to be safer and less error prone, but the reasons are not its loops, they're mainly due to its immutable-by-default nature.

I think that over all, we are more or less in agreement. But I did overlook that doseq doesn't support break/continue in my original comment, so thanks for pointing that out!

I'd like a smart oven.

It would be great to be able to throw a prepared casserole in the oven, go to the park with my kids, and then turn the oven on when we're about ready to head home so dinner's basically waiting for us when we get back.

Currently if I want to take the kids to the park before dinner I end up choosing between leaving earlier so there's time to make dinner, getting take out on the way home, or doing something super fast and low effort when we get back. Sometimes I use a slow cooker which provides some sort of solution but limits the type of dishes I can make.

In middle school I often had to reset my plugged-in 12-hour alarm clock at night because I would switch plugs for some reason.

I noticed a pattern that sometimes my alarm would refuse to ring in the morning but would ring at 8 at night.

I eventually noticed that it only happened when I stayed up late and reset the time/alarm at midnight and figured out that my clock was broken because it thought that 11 PM is followed by 12 AM.

It was more than a decade until I found out that it was correct.
See upthread, with examples of how the article does exactly what you ask it to.

I find the reporting in this piece damning. I understand how others would view it more charitably. That's what we're meant to be discussing. Less productive: a discussion of the legitimacy of the reporting itself.
