It is very important to accept who you are, and you can simultaneously accept who you are capable of becoming because that is equally who you are.

For example, if you feel deep inside that you want to be an athlete, well that's a part of who you are, even if you're obese. You can embrace that by working toward becoming an athlete. Start living like an athlete in ways that you can.

In corporate situations this is a lot less ambiguous, where if you want to be promoted then you have to do the work of at least 1 rank above yourself before you're officially at that level.

If you feel like you're pretending and it's exhausting, then it either means you're not being true to yourself (you're not meant to become that) or you're suffering from imposter syndrome.
> The only thing that may need to deal with multiple supported ABIs simultaneously is the kernel. But maybe kernels are using more explicit types?

Right. Kernel ABIs use explicit-width types, and if an ABI change is needed, a new syscall is added. The old one continues to exist with the old ABI indefinitely.
This isn't an argument against funding government on sales and income tax alone, but income from those is more volatile in recessions that property tax, so it takes a fiscally responsible government for that to work.

I would skip the source texts because they are often hard to read. Unfortunately ground breaking ideas and a clear expository style rarely go hand in hand.

Philosophy Hour with Brian McGee was a great BBC show from the 70s where they interviewed top philosophers in an accessible way. Definitely check it out.

There is also the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, which is a top level resource but also very accessible.
This is a controversial opinion but I think that an introduction to philosophy should probably focus on commentaries and summaries of the great works rather than the original source material. This is stems from a general point about education that it is usually easier to absorb knowledge from a text book that summarizes research than to get it from the original research itself. Philosophy as an academic discipline is somewhat exceptional in that it strictly emphasizes the original works/classics as opposed to most sciences which focus on summaries of key concepts (nobody reads Darwin to learn about evolution or Keynes to learn about economics though both authors are worth reading at some point). This is probably not the best approach for new comers. Obviously things will be missing but these are much more accessible and provide a lot of context that would be lacking if one were to simply jump in.

The advice to take an intro course is solid. Open culture has a few linked courses that look good (it’s all about the quality of the lecturer).
Also a compendium book is a good place to start.
This reads like a piece of bad misandrist science fiction, i.e. a modern academic paper drowning in critical theory. Pretty entertaining, but frightening when you realize it’s probably taken seriously by its author and others.
It looks like the survey surveyed 100 supervisors; that would be more difficult to do independently than just surveying 100 rank-and-file employees. (The alternative would be to run this inside a FANG or similarly large company, and then try to get permission through the formal process to get a paper or book published.)

To get an overview it makes sense to read about the history of philosophy.

It's not practical to read all of platon, just to learn a few important ideas...

Also there is not one true philosophy. Nietzsche is very different from Kant for example.

One book I really want to recommend you:

Sigmund Freud - The Interpretation of Dreams

It's more a psychology book, but it is deeply philosophical.

Freud tries to analyse how the brain works, using logic and observation of human behaviour.

It's probably about the shape of the curves as well as, if not more than, the rate of advancement.

TV display technology is likely to proceed in plateaus because they tie to agreed upon standards. By the mid 1990s we had the ability to make a 1600x1200 CRT monitor with a 85Hz refresh rate, but even a top-of-the-line TV wouldn't offer much more resolution or higher refresh than a 1965 model-- that's all you could get out of NTSC broadcasts. (Yeah. there were some progressive-scan input formats, but that's still only a token advance)

Introducing external sources (streaming, consoles, etc.) provides a bit of wiggle room to advance the resolution/colour/refresh rate bars, but that's still not going to change the installed base nearly as fast as if they said "here's a new standard format and every local broadcaster starts 8k broadcasts tomorrow."

In contrast, streaming products evolve in a continuous curve. Since there's very minimal, if any, platform standards, they can say "here's 24k resolution", or equally likely "here's a new codec/DRM format/API that old boxes don't support."
I wonder if this type signature may be too intimidating for newcomers:

Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + 'static>>

It's probably huge effort to somehow target examples both for newbies and advanced users. I don't know what's good solution and if it's a real problem at all.

Bakery in a retail slot in the ground floor of a 5-story apartment building is by definition not charming. It's cookie-cutter (pardon the pun). It's the sort of place that opens, struggles for nine months, and goes bankrupt.

We see so much about wanting "walkable" neighborhoods where we have shops and markets all steps away from our door. Well, if the land is so valuable that it will only support dense apartment towers, small businesses like that will not be able to afford to be close by.

That is a needless dichotomy. For a variety of reasons we want a smooth transition.

Today:

c(land value) + c(building value) = tax

eventually:

big(land value) + small(building value) = tax

Just interpolate between those the obvious way.
An LVT at a high enough rate could generate the same revenue as current property taxes.

Use your brain. Google kills product because no one uses them because they mostly suck. Google's DNS server serves something like a trillion requests a day. It might be hard to see the business value for google but it is clear. Google makes money when people use the internet. The DNS server exists to make the internet the best it can be. If you have a shitty dns server you can always use googles. That means google is still making money off you. They won't kill something so integral o their basic monetization strategy.
This makes sense. In recent years I had so many problems compiling things on Debian that needed newer libraries that I caved and went to Ubuntu. But I still run in to library conflicts and I have long felt like I am abusing my system when I try to force some slightly unsupported libraries on to my system to compile someones github code at 3am.

I suppose if I lean more on containers for development and flatpack etc for programs it would be easier to maintain a Debian stable system. Debian has been great for me aside from having older libraries!

And Timnit Gebru would be the evil supervisor I assume?

Timnit Gebru is a bad person, but this article is a strange segway.

"Moral cleansing" is a made up term with no meaning for instance. It's used to confuse people, these industries have evolved similarly to how GPT-3 has evolved. You short circuit peoples brains so they can't evaluate what's being said.
This is what I was thinking about.
"I never understood why philosophy is always structured as a history of the subject"

Because primary sources are highly valued in philosophy, and unlike math or science, those sources never become obsolete.

Also, contemporary philosophers trying to restate the ancients often distort the originals, or do so in an inferior way.

Philosophy is not a mathematical or experimental result you could just summarize or restate in an equivalent way without distorting the meaning.

That's not to say that summaries or restatements don't have their place in philosophy too, but to really get what these philosophers were saying there is no substitute for reading the originals.

One other thing I want to add is that, unlike most other academic fields, philosophy is very much a conversation where the participants of today are still in dialogue with people who wrote hundreds and thousands of years ago.

If you were to limit yourself to just what your contemporaries said and wrote, then even if these contemporaries were honestly doing their best to summarize and restate what came before them (instead of distorting them and putting words in their mouth, which philosophers have a bad habit of doing) then you wouldn't be a fully informed participant in the conversation.

It's also a bit like a court of law, where you don't want to admit hearsay evidence, but want to hear directly from the people who were there.
I just don’t see this happening. Maybe I live in a different place.

Who are these people inheriting land who are too poor to use it, too dumb to sell it and losing it to the county?

I live in a high tax state and have served on nonprofit boards that have exposure to housing issues. This didn’t happen.

The common problems of this ilk were usually frauds where caregivers, relatives, powers of attorney or others squander or steal proceeds of reverse mortgages or borrow money against property without telling the family. The other issue that would come up is Medicaid recapture when money is given away.

Usually if there is a tax sale there is some bigger story why the property is worthless. You can borrow against the equity of anything.

I'd be happy to engage here but I'd rather not discuss opinions. Can you please provide evidence to support your position?
I imagine this depends on the configuration of the TV, if only because — if your C9 is anything like my slightly older LG IPS HDR TV — backlight brightness, color calibration, and other settings that affect the brightness of full-scale SDR white can be freely configured in any of the SDR modes without affecting the levels of any other SDR mode, or of any HDR mode at all.

In other words, assume SDR "Game" mode is set to Backlight 50, SDR "Cinema" mode is set to backlight 25, all other settings are equal, and, therefore, 100% white is considerably brighter in "Game" mode.

Then both values for "white" cannot possibly match a single, fixed level set by any other mode, HDR or otherwise.

It's therefore impossible for Windows or any other input source to "just work" when switching from an arbitrary SDR mode to a preset HDR mode.

Again, assuming your TV works more or less like mine, and mode switches use the most-recently-used preset in the target "mode family" (meaning not only SDR and HDR, but also Dolby Vision, which maintains its own collection of presets), and that the various presets are independent of one another.

And if this is not the case, and presets cannot be set independently, then I'm glad I don't have a newer TV, because some of my presets have color settings that are wildly different from standard calibration (e.g., a preset resetting the display to its native, uncalibrated white point and gamut, used with video players capable of internal HDR tone mapping and color correction given a custom 3D LUT generated from measurements).

Yes but it is like a complete rewrite of the tax code if you are American.
In my country we just don't have municipal taxes. Municipalities have reduced responsibility. All the important services are funded directly from central governments.
So you don't get problems like underfunded schools and such. Municipalities get pocket money also from the central government and are only in charge of less important infrastructure and service.

There is no property tax, but we have capital gains taxes based on transfers of assets.
Yeah it's definitely eye of the beholder. A congruent example I can think of is a lot of immersive 3D games going more minimal on the UI, using plain text overlay and no visible style, e.g. Ghost of Tsushima, where I think the UI style helped the goal of "immersive". I can see Pokemon S/S is going for a more realistic or immersive 3D world and can benefit from a more minimal UI, but to me visually it turns out to resemble too much to the typical "flat design", and my personal visual taste is stopping me from understanding what it achieved on the game design level.

And I agree there're places like "hub" where it's more disconnected to the game world, and you can say it's less important for those to use a very consistent style. I would argue these places should also be fun and game-like (or, the UI interaction feedback should match with some of the in-game feedbacks), but that's more experimental and a different subject.

While I don't agree with your premise that private sector is magically more efficient, let's just accept it.

The government can also hand out cash raised from the LVT as a UBI.

Problem solved.
This is precisely the reason I do not connect my TV to my home network. I use a AppleTV for streaming content.

Once in a while I check the manufacturer's page, and if there's a firmware update, I factory reset my TV to remove any cached info about my usage, and then update the firmware via ethernet, and immediately remove it from the network.

A while ago I noticed that my old Insignia TV refused to use the pi-hole connected to my network, and it was constantly phoning home, that's when I decided that I'm never connecting a TV to the network. Thankfully I've been able to confirm that the Apple TV does not bypass my pi-hole, since it doesn't load anything when the pi-hole is down.

I know at some point I need to trust some entities with my data. I prefer choosing those entities to the best of my ability, rather than leaving that choice upto my TV manufacturer.
That’s why LVT will never happen and is a dumb idea.

If a freeway exit gets built a block away from my house, my taxes will reflect the value of a Walmart or whatever instead of my house.

I don't think there's any preference here; it looks to me like 'milkytron was just describing how it (unfortunately) is now.
It imposes the cost of pushing people farther away from each other. Every block that's empty is one block farther people have to walk/cycle/drive to get where they're going.
This is a recurring reminder that Nautil.us is likely running an HN upvote ring to frontpage articles once a weekend. My original comment is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735050

This same account (dnetesn) got this article to the front page this weekend. As of this comment, this article only has 3 comments, which is very low engagement relevant to other frontpage articles, which is the same pattern for other Nautil.us weekend frontpage articles.

This turtle article is marginally more interesting than the article from my previous comment, but nothing you wouldn't find in a wikipedia page.

Again, if this comment is against the rules, I will remove it. But I want to call out that this exactly fits the pattern of a low engagement article with mediocre content front paging on a weekend.
I would argue that, if you need to have long-form text to explain your content (even if it's only a short sentence or two), then a live presentation is the wrong format for delivering that information. Live presentations simply aren't a good medium for conveying dense information to an unfamiliar and/or varied audience.

I also think people don't have a good appreciation for the time asymmetries in the presentations they give. How big is your audience? If you want to make the case that "it's not worth my time to put together a better presentation", then you have to multiply every minute of your presentation prep by the total number of people you're presenting to. If you're delivering metrics to a company-wide monthly town hall meeting, and 10 minutes prepping saves you 1 minute of presentation, or 10 minutes of layout work saves you 1 minute of comprehension, then no, it's not worth your time, but it's absolutely worth the company's time.

> If you present information the needs to be understood very well, I can assure you that words and (short) sentences displayed when you're speaking, can help a tons.

I have a lot of problems with this. What kind of information are you talking about? Surely you're not suggesting explaining a simple trendline with short sentences is better than a graph? And even assuming you have something where a textual representation is the best choice, how you display that text on a slide absolutely can and does have a very real impact in uptake. Are you making a slide with nothing on it except a single number as a 12-point bullet at the top left? Taking an extra 60 seconds to increase the font size and center it on the page is going to drastically increase readability.

Listen, I understand this stuff takes time, and not everyone has that time. I have a lot of sympathy for being frustrated at how slow our software tools are. And (even though I still do it!), I absolutely hate how tedious it is to push those pixels around to put together a visually coherent presentation. You say outright that the reason you don't push those pixels is because you're not interested in spending the time. That's what you should stick with, and it demonstrates a clear need for a presentation authoring tool that makes these kinds of things easy. But don't say you're doing it because it increases comprehension. You're not making a powerpoint completely out of bullet points because it makes the information easier to digest, you're doing it because you don't want to spend the time and effort to make it more digestible. And we need to be honest about that or nobody is going to bother making tools that make it better.

Side note, there's way too much anecdata on presentations, particularly given how much research has been put into them. Here's a good jumping off point with lots of citations: https://policyviz.com/2019/10/23/research-reveals-powerpoint...

wow ya'll, it's a podcast. i can see the relevant content, the episode listing guide quit easily, perfectly fine. there's a header/banner that says what it is that makes it obviously clear:

This is an anarcho-syndacalist, anti-facist, and pro-human-rights podcast. I stand in solidarity with all people of colour, of marginalised communities, and the oppressed around the globe.

it gives me the info that's relevant quickly, & without distraction. episodes & their contents are listed on the main page 3 years back, to the beginning of 2018. indeed it seems >3 years ago, the author did not have good show notes.
it's an answer to the parent's claim that the "big" three compilers are gcc, clang and msvc. I guess they meant that in the sense of "the most relevant", or "the most used". While microsoft's is unarguably an important C++ compiler, it's rarely used for non-legacy C code.
