We as a species are way beyond the point that laymen - no matter their intellectual capacity - can acquire detailed knowledge about every special topic in even just a single scientific area.

This isn't as simple as music theory or perfecting motor functions by means of practising. Just to give you an idea of the scale we're talking here:

The journal "General Relativity and Gravity" [1] alone published 167 papers in 2019.

Yesterday(!) alone, 20 papers were announced on arxiv.org [2]

So assuming you already know GR by heart, you'd need to spend every waking minute of your existence just reading up on what's currently being discussed within the community. This leaves absolutely no time for reflection on and understanding the material, let alone working on original ideas.

You are delusional if you think that 200 years of modern mathematics, physics and astronomy can be mastered by a single person, let alone an average person, who rarely has the mental capacity to even understand most of the material en detail.

I mean no offense, but many of the advantages that you've cited are more of claimed advantages from the marketing departments of big manufacturer rather than proven advantages that the tech gives you. The author of the comment to which you replied does seem to understand the trends in bike designs these days and feels that these trends do not fit well into the market segment of e-bikes. I agree.

> it’s not only the weight that carbon frame bike owners are after - the material gives much better ride quality than aluminium.

The affect the frame has on the ride quality is significantly smaller than other components of the ride like the tires and seat post[0]. Carbon often has a very small weight improvement over a well made steel or aluminum bikes, so if you're buying an e-bike because you want pedal assist, I don't understand the need to shave 1 or 2 pounds off the bike.

> Deep rims are nothing spectacular either, their weight penalty is nicely offset by aero gain.

This appears to be true. Most of the aero penalty of the bike comes from the wheels and having deeper wheels does reduce the drag a lot.

> One chainring is all the rage in bikes now

It is all the rage, but it's not clear yet whether it's justified or just a ploy by the manufacturers to save costs on their end. The gear ratio of this bike goes from 1.0 on the low end to only 3.64. 1.0 is pretty good for going up hills, especially with the motor assist, but 3.64 is really low, especially for a bike trying to tout itself as really fast! I don't understand this choice. Most road bikes have a top end ratio of around 4.54.

> Mudguards and simple handlebars make this bike utilitarian and well-suited to commuting

The mudguards are nice, but I don't understand the choice of handlebars. Why do you want a super aero light-weight bike but then put flat handlebars on it so you can't get in an aero position like you can with drop handlebars. This doesn't make sense. Furthermore, the bike doesn't have mounting points for a front or rear rack, which is a huge downside for commuting, if not a dealbreaker.

[edit] you're right that trends do matter when affecting people's purchasing decision since most people aren't very informed about the actual pros/cons of the tech they're buying, but this doesn't undermine the original commenter's opinion that this bike doesn't make sense from a technical standpoint.

> I’ve been away from macs for couple of years, but these M1s are IMO a game changer.

The interesting thing here is, is it really a game changer in practice for something like web development and every day computer usage?

I'm not here to start a mac vs windows war but I have a 6 year old i5 3.2ghz CPU (4 cores, no HT) with 16gb of memory and a first gen SSD.

I use this workstation for full time development / ops work on Windows with WSL 2 / Docker, etc..

Everything is still pretty damn fast and it feels no different than the day I put together the machine.

Opening Chrome from hotkey to being able to type takes a second. Opening a terminal feels instant. Working with Vim and 50+ plugins has no type delay. Disk I/O feels good. I can keep multiple VMs running, run multiple Dockerized large web apps in various web frameworks, open 20+ tabs in a browser and a bunch of other stuff and it doesn't break a sweat. Sometimes I forget that I have image editors and other stuff open in virtual workspaces too.

I also do a lot of screencast recording / editing. The only part of my workflow that feels sluggish at times is rendering videos but that ends up being a non-issue because if I need to export 75 videos for a course I queue them up before I goto sleep and it finishes before I wake up the next morning. For 10-20 minute videos here and there I just render them before doing something where I go AFK (showering, eating, going outside, etc.).

I guess what I'm getting at here is, I'm not sure how a faster CPU will really help that much in my day to day besides crushing benchmarks.

Are folks running non-M1 MBPs experiencing slow downs in their day to day where they feel compelled to get one with an M1? Where do you see and feel the performance wins in practice?

India’s Poor Hygiene Level Helps Protect Against Covid-19, Suggests Study
The constant ratchet on users to provide ever-increasing amounts of computing resources is a textbook case of an ‘externality’ for the developers so we get the whole usual Tragedy Of The Commons situation yada yada yada.

Applying this to the original question one gets that if performance ceases to increase users can no longer be expected to endlessly ramp up their specs so suddenly optimisation and slimming-down will be in vogue.
I had similar experiences in the past with review comments. So, they measure how many merge requests you left a comment (for other people's MRs), how many comments total on other peoples' merge requests, how many on your own.

So I have seem approved MRs with 1 comment: 'lgtm' (looks good to me)

I have seen the exact same comment pasted in all instances of something, in the same MR. i.e: "don't use @autobind, remove." instead of 1 comment saying 'remove all @autobind from file'

Situation above, the person replying: 'fixed' on all comments, instead of 1 reply 'removed all @autobind'

Just....... why?
CX folks at CB are doing God's work. Nothing but respect for them on my eng team at CB. At past companies I had to do a lot more legwork to dive into an issue; our CX folks are incredibly technical and have great instincts on identifying, grouping, and triaging issues as well as providing just the right amount of context.
But there wasn't that much bad stuff to ignore in the past - because it wasn't that bad. Google did not have that much influence or power, so their bad tendencies (assuming they have been the same throughout their lifetime) were just benign. There is no point in holding up a big magnifying glass on underdogs - things can't go horribly wrong. But it is completely justified to hold the powerful accountable, and that's what people are doing now.

Limited preliminary things can be done but you can't really run it and work for it until you have OPT. Some F-1 students, with very strong backgrounds and great ideas, try for an O-1 or even a green card but the standards for these are tough to meet, particularly for someone young.

That used to be the role a union played as well. Before unions got all corrupt and self-serving, there used to be a better than market guarantee of quality and conduct when hiring union labor. Unions would train and discipline their members to meet the standards promised to the employer. That's why they were able to command better pay and benefits.
Good point. People are afraid of being wrong not only because they don't want to lose an argument, but because if they are wrong about one thing, it might turn out they are wrong about many things. Thinking that you understand the world gives you comfort.

It's bizzare to want to run Docker on a Mac anyway. Docker has never and will never run on a Mac natively. The way it works on Intel-based Macs is through the xhyve/hyperkit hypervisor, i.e. it virtualises Linux. That's the only way it can work. It's also why you can limit how many CPU cores and RAM Docker can use, since you're just giving the underlying virtual machine those limits through the Docker settings app. And it's just a memory hog. It will eat RAM up to the amount you specify rather than dynamically allocating and deallocating as per the requirements of each running container like on Linux.

It shocks me that so many people want to run Docker on a platform it was never built for. The suggestion above is not bizzare, it's a normal use case: run Docker on Linux like it's meant to be run.

Docker for Mac has had performance issues for years, especially related to file I/O. The common suggestion is to use NFS to get around those, which is just ridiculous when you think about it. [0]

Wait until you find out what the typical Google L6 makes.

With that said I'm always skeptical of these numbers - you don't exactly see SFPD officers vacationing in Marakesh and flying first class, but that's typical for stripe new grads.
There's an important difference between using something because it's popular, and using something because it's a standard designed for your problem. For something simple like just sending some numbers across the wire XML is massive overkill (as an aside, there's actually very little XML is a good solution to). CSV, TSV, JSON arrays, one of dozens of serialization formats, or even just a simple EOL separated value like you proposed are all both standardized and very simple solutions to the problem. On the other hand, had they proposed inventing some new binary serialization protocol and using that to transmit the numbers, that would be even worse than using XML.

You should always pick the simplest solution to the problem that meets all your requirements, but when considering solutions you should favor standards compliant solutions. A common example is date formats. Lots of places roll their own date format string when sending dates, but using ISO-8601 will save you (and your clients) so many headaches in the long run.

Honestly for your example, not knowing all the details I can't say for sure if a EOL separated value is a good solution, but based on just the description I probably would have gone with a CSV, or possibly a JSON array. I definitely would not have used XML (dear god, why would anyone pick XML in this day and age?), although if they were concerned about needing to add more data down the line I could maybe see an argument for something a bit more involved than a CSV.

Deciphering Chopin’s shorthand in the posthumous Mazurka in F minor (2018)
I personally spend a good time with these large philosophical questions, so here are some notes off my experience:

First, I think it would be naive to think there's any sort of formulaic approach that works for all large questions or ideas. Nor will the same approach work for everyone, or even a notable group of people. With that said, here are some generalizations that may help:

- Your most valuable asset is the perspective of others. When you can, talk about ideas with others and you may be surprised what results. Reminder: read the room and audience. You want willing participants in good spirits, not an annoyed or begrudging focus group :)

- Make sure to zoom out often. For my entire philosophy, I have an outline that fits on a half a page, even if each bullet point can be expanded to an entire essay. Keeping an eye on the big picture allows you to ensure all of the pieces are consistent.

- Keep some sort of documentation of small ideas / notes. I have an entire "idea log" that I transfer from my phone's notes app (filled randomly through my life) every month or so. It's a good way to ensure you don't lose smaller nuances you may encounter. This then requires a "synthesis" on the other end to re-examine these. Often over time, your feelings towards these notes can change and that can be interesting in itself.

- Sometimes I even copy entire conversations into the doc if they are digital. Full context is important. Same goes for links to articles, essays, and books. Think of it as informal citation you can go back to. I spend a good deal of effort cataloging my media consumption (tv, movies, and books in particular) for this reason.

- Scheduling or forcing time to work on ideas tends not to work. If you choose to schedule time, it should be to explore and flesh out details of an idea you have a decent deal of hope or confidence in, not to "brainstorm" for new ones IMO.

I would say the first half of my approach resembles that of a librarian or archivist. I collect sources, perspectives, and various ideas I think of or encounter. Then I sort and organize these. The other half then becomes the synthesis, which is typically more sitting down to write and explicitly focus.

Based on your question, it sounds like you may be trying to do more "synthesis" while you're out and about. I would perhaps recommend focusing on the micro level more when you're out and about, and then see what sort of building block or base that lends later. If you try to tie everything together on the fly, it may limit the development of new ideas you encounter that could actually dramatically shift where your big picture is currently if explored more.

Again, to overstress this, everyone thinks differently. Find what works for you, and don't expect there to be a formula or a strict regiment that will make everything easy for you!
Yeah, I feel the same. I’d be curious to know more about where this recommendation comes from. I much prefer #222 or #333 if it’s on a white/whiteish background.
The fact that you generalize the mentioned reports also reveals your own bias. We have a limited view on a very small section of a very big issue. Having any beliefs on this topic reflect a willingness to over-generalize from limited information; the directionality reveals the bias.

I hope that I have made you happily uncomfortable.
I can't speak specifically to "historical documentation", but in a field that interests me, which I suppose we could call "music, musicking and music theory", YT is better than anything I'm aware of from TV with the possible exception of the Bernstein lectures.

For a TV station/network/organization to have exposed us to just one of (for example): David Bruce, 12Tone or Adam Neely would be remarkable enough, but we actually get all three and then a whole bunch of others who are in the same general ballpark.

For example, the "David Bennett Piano" channel, produced by a young UK piano player, has a 15 minute segment that is hands-down the best explanation of why many musical cultures settled on dividing the octave into 12 tones. It's better than anything I've ever seen on TV.

It is true that these tend to be shorter and more focused presentations than series like Connections. I'm not sure I see anything inherently wrong with that. It's also true that they don't score always hit it out of the park for every "episode" they produce (unlike much the more collaborative processes that would have led to each episode of Connections). But I'm not sure I see much a problem with that either.

This hit so close to home that I had to comment. I can completely relate. I tried to be different and chose a path that ended up wasting 3 years of my life with nothing to show for it (PhD, ended up dropping out). Then I joined a big company to work on a product with massive (legacy) codebase, where I ended up learning relatively little w.r.t end-to-end project development.

I feel as if I'd have been miles ahead if I had just done what most of my uni colleagues did instead of trying to somehow skip a step or two.

> unless the x86 market tanked badly

That has always been a question of when, not if. And M1 shows that it is quickly approaching. In a market where physical limits have slowed down miniaturization, with just 5-10 years away from a standstill, a low efficiency instruction set focused on backwards binary compatibility is going to get washed out of most usecases very quickly. It's going the way of the IBM mainframe - still sold decades after its heyday, but marginalized to a niche (bunch of enterprise cloud instances for software that is too expensive to recompile/port).
