> Its more realistic if a kid goes on an adventure in a city than in the suburbs were the only practical way around is being driven around.

As a kids who grew up in a few different suburbs in 2 different countries, I'd challenge that assertion. We had tons of adventures, visited a lot of cool places, and did a lot of exploring (on our own), all within a few miles of our homes. We'd ride out bikes to the liquor store / arcade / cemetery / 7-11 / park / community center / museum etc. When younger, we'd have to get off and push out bikes back up the hill the last few blocks sometimes (I lived on a very steep hillside).

Nothing about living in the 'burbs precludes adventure...

I understand JK Rowling's bestselling Ickabog has progressed to a character spurning the affections of the king in favour of a handsome Prime Minister ;)
But I don't think there's much room for disagreement that princes and princesses are overrepresented in children's literature (and entertainment in general) relative to other forms of government, and that this tells us precisely nothing about these systems' respective merits. Similarly, I don't think characters in various types of children's books being likely to live in a wood, on the moon or against an unexplained primary coloured background tells us much about merits such environments might have over suburbs.

I'm surprised that we don't see more compilers and interpreters written in Lisp, since people seem to believe that writing compilers in Lisp is easier than other languages. In fact most compilers and interpreters are written in C.

Do you still have trouble admitting you're wrong? Your last post to me was a complete troll and the moderator killed your post because of how vile and rude it was. Do you resort to insults when you can't admit your wrong? You certainly did to me.

> I almost wonder if it's a rite of passage for engineers.

Its flawed to think of the world as a reflection of yourself. It's definitely not a rite of passage for engineers. This is more of a rite of passage for you and your fear of being wrong.

Math to me was the same as any other subject. I never had an issue with being wrong or right. If anything english was my best subject. My math skills developed later in university. I have a greater talent for formal math then I do for the applied math they they teach in highschool. But this has nothing to do with any fear of being wrong. I like formal math because I find the philosophical implications of the subject interesting. I derive no other comfort from it and definitely can't relate to your or the parent posters ability to derive comfort from the exactness of the answers. It's just puzzles and solutions I can't derive "comfort" from that anymore then I can derive comfort from a rock.

I think both you and the author of this original article are making misplaced judgements on character. Don't assume that others think like you have the same qualities as you or have the same weaknesses as you. Everytime you make this assumption you're actually revealing more about yourself to others.

Your last post to me. The one that got killed by the moderator was strange. I was sort of curious where all that made up stuff came from. Then I realized none of it was made up. It's just a reflection of your own horrible life. For that I'm truly sorry and I hope you can find a way out of your miserable circumstances.
Yes, that's the game, and I am the author of the usenet post you linked. Thanks for digging it up! I haven't seen that in years.

The FDA does not allow Pharma companies to create safe and slightly less effective drugs than the best-in-class, even if such drugs were 10-100x cheaper and would thus alleviate most people's complaints about outrageous drug prices.

Scannell's observations are focused on the problem of finding drugs that are more effective than the current best-in-class, the so-called Better than the Beatles problem.

This turns out to be a really hard search problem, given for instance that animal models make unreliable and poor substitutes for humans beings, or that you're generally not allowed to base drug approval on small but highly representative patient populations (with some exceptions). There are even more technical problems I won't get into here (see Question 9 in the interview).

In short, I see no reason why we couldn't be getting slightly less effective but way cheaper drugs today if the FDA was willing to slightly relax its use of the precautionary principle. But in order to keep pushing the frontier of drug efficacy, we'll need new technical breakthroughs to help us solve the search problem.
Because of the international nature of telephone systems, you don't need to get SS7 access locally. There's plenty of telcos worldwide that sell SS7 capable lines.

I don't think there's many technologies that are 30 years old that are still relevant today. Most programming languages themselves are younger than that: Python 1991, Java 1996, C# 2002, go 2012.

C++ and COBOL are ancient enough but niche.

If we look at tools/frameworks, the story is even worse because they were obviously created later (plus some time to gain traction).

I think the industry will slow down and stabilize over the next 20 years. It will be fragmented in different area of expertise, but there won't be another 10 new languages or another internet revolution.
Is that UE4 or games written in UE4? I can totally believe it for games written in UE4, but the engine itself? Doesn't pass the sniff test.
I'm fine with the trackpad. It might not seem as high quality (feels a bit floppy somehow), but the click sensitivity is fairly consistent and it feels comfortable to me. Some other laptops I've used e.g. for work have had trackpads where clicking required too much force to feel comfortable, or the force required felt inconsistent. I prefer this one over those.

Some older ThinkPad model I used at a previous job had a horrendous trackpad, though.

I picked the ThinkPad for personal use largely because of Linux compatibility, too. MacOS might be fine, but if you end up not wanting to use that, going back over to Linux might require way more effort than I was willing to put up with, even if the hardware itself would probably have been a fine choice.

Also, matte screens.
It depends on your definition of "landlord". If by landlord you mean the typical NIMBY homeowner then sure it's true. But in practice landlords can make more money off of building more units vs squeezing out more profit from a smaller amount of units. So if you were a politician and followed the advice of the greediest landlord you would not end up with scarcity. The political environment doesn't listen to the greediest landlord though. It primarily listens to the homeowner type of landlord.

Rezoning doesn’t force anyone out of their homes. It just lets someone sell their homes to someone who will turn around and build a larger building. Buildings in the old zone are grandfathered in.

But folks who want to live in a single family home in the middle of san francisco can still do so. Just don’t sell the house.
Modern construction is amazing and better than you would think at avoiding ripping up roads, but yeah, that's gonna have to happen too.

Who pays for it? This is infrastructure 101 stuff. You want the people who use it to pay for it, so you finance it and have the new tenants pay for it.

That isn't the reason rent is high in SF.
To be fair the same thing can be said about its predecessor the miniPCIe slot.
This is pretty recent. The USB controller on the regular Pi 4 was sitting on the PCIE lines, so until the CM4 came out the only way to get to PCIE was to lose USB support and solder wires onto the traces on the PCB. A couple people did it but not many. Most people could get by with a USB 3.0 accessory and didn’t need to cut up their Pi. But now that the CM4 has a PCIE slot on the daughterboard it makes sense to see what is compatible.

>The Macbook pro will not work without a battery even if it is plugged in an electric power supply.

Yeah... I'm writing this on my trusty MacBook Air 2011, but this is why I won't touch anything Apple anymore.

I first got a Mac Mini, and then an iPhone, and it seemed nice at the time, so I invested more in Apple...

But the relationship has been turning more and more abusive and controlling since then. If a human abuses me, I distance myself from them and eventually let the relationship fade away. It shouldn't be any different with a corporation.
That’s not how the Tesla subsidies works and that is a naive interpretation of what I said. The tax credits were a transaction between the Federal government and Tesla’s customers. Tesla still got paid the $7,500 and there was no fanciful economics there.

Intellectual Legitimacy
In my 50's and keeping it up: it's easier to be cheerful when you've seen much much worse, it's easier to take the new hotness with the right amount of curiosity when you've seen the same product in different packaging five times, it's easier to relate to younglings who have passion and curiosity when you have passion and curiosity, it's easier to not get stuck being of a given generation, eg. the Java or C++ crews, when you grew up at a time when things were like now, more in flux than they've been during the 2000 aughts and earlier teens.
Which itself is probably part of the problem.
Interesting to read a more recent retrospective on Mondo2000 and similar zeitgeist. It led me to:

https://www.mondo2000.com/

From an interview on the front page, a snippet that captures a bit of that feeling:

> ..There was this whole alternate, intellectual, metaphysical kind of thought in the 90s about where things were going. The Terrence McKenna school — we are going to find a way to get free of these monkey bodies and we’re going to find a way to enter other dimensions and we’re going to expand intelligence and extend life. We’re going to break free of a lot of these things that have held us monkeys back for thousands of years.

> There’s a sadness when you hear [Robert Anton Wilson] talking about that now because it didn’t happen. The world now is even more fucked up than when he wrote Illuminatus! It just seems like we’ve been completely incapable of breaking free of that stuff. We’re still fighting the same pathetic cultural wars, the same primitive religious wars, despite our best angels pushing us forward to get better. The vast majority of humanity is just this epic failure. It’s sad.

-----

In the event that New Year resolutions are not a generally known thing outside of my very Euro-American culture bubble, they are typically promises you make to yourself at the beginning of a year, usually focused on something you want to change about yourself or your circumstances. Many of them are related to health or financial decision making.

The truth is out: money is just an IOU, and the banks are rolling in it (2014)
A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.

This also suggests that 50% would disagree with that, but 1 in 2 is plenty.
That approach requires lots of land, water, and time. Nothing wrong with that, but much of the funding for CO2->jet fuel research comes from the military, which wants to be able to create liquid fuel quickly from CO2 in the atmosphere and they don't care how inefficient it is. Military customers are typically not very interested in processes that require running a farm.
Without reading the article, if it is between "στην­ Πόλι" and "εἰς­ τὴν ­Πόλιν", I can tell you, as a Greek, it is exactly the same phrase. Poli/Polin (Πόλη/Πόλιν) are interchangeable, the same word with a different suffix but with both the same purpose, and "στην" is just "εις την" stiched together.
I worked as a line cook in college. The place I worked was in a HCOL city, but nowhere close to SF. Our general rule was that items should sell for about 4x the cost of ingredients to cover all overhead.

I'm a salaried employ with no expectation of overtime, so my opportunity cost to cook for myself is essentially $0/hr, but even if I factor in a fairly reasonable $15/hr for my own labor, I'm still easily under 4x raw input cost for most dishes, which makes sense since I don't have to pay (or already pay regardless) other overheads like rent, taxes and FOH staff.

Another tool to look at might be Dendron[1]. It's a VS Code plugin with similar functionality to Obsidian (according to the docs, it actually evolved from being a standalone app like Obsidian into the plugin form). My understanding is the client/plugin are FOSS, and the developer plans to implement some (optional) server-side functionality to fund ongoing development.

14 Movies Every Entrepreneur Should Watch
It's not technically ageism. You're right.

But there's an engineer in his 50's, who worked in his company for many years. He had intimate knowledge of its systems and domain. But his company got bought out, and the new owners decided they don't need that group anymore and lays off the entire group. Suddenly, his domain expertise is near-useless unless he can find another, similar position.

He interviews for other positions, but he is hit with questions he's not familiar with. He drones on about his old systems/architect like an old fogey who not up to date with the new, shiny stuff. He tries to study the new stuff, but he's tired, overwhelmed, burnt out, etc. His interviewers realizes he has a lot of experience and probably highly skilled, but his skills and experience aren't relevant enough to what their company is doing. They offer to hire him at a junior rate, or not hire him at all. Is this ageism, or is he not good enough?

> Custom game engines are already dinosaurs; most of the money in games is elsewhere.

It's interesting you say that because a lot of the biggest games that get released are on custom engines. I'm most familiar with FPSes, but as I understand it, the cod games, the battlefield games, destiny, the halo games, cs-go, valorant, cyberpunk etc. are all on "custom" engines -- i.e. engines that are not provided commercially by third parties. I'm actually having trouble thinking of a big name fps that is on unreal or unity.

(I don't know how big these games are compared to mobile games, but I can say for sure that they are big enough that studios seem to be investing more and more on them, rather than less as you would expect if they were economically insignificant.)

One of my best friends in college was in the same position as the guy at the start of this comic: he was paying for his own college so he had to work for a year (restaurant jobs) to pay for each semester of college. When I met him I was sitting in a diner bummed that I hadn't met any futurists at the college I just started, and I was amazed to suddenly find myself having a deep conversation about such topics with my waiter.

Even though I started several years later than he did, we graduated the same year. We got computer science degrees not art degrees (though we both are equally interested in art) so we didn't graduate into poverty like the guy in the comic. We just had to live through poverty to get our degrees.

But it's such a societal waste: this guy could have gotten a PhD in the amount of time it took him to get one bachelor's, if he hadn't had to work low wage jobs to pay for his own school.

I see what you are saying. I guess I just don't know what those companies could do to pull those people out of poverty, especially at the macroeconomic level.

Sure. How long you willing to wait? Given the circumstances, I'm fine with cashing out all the mobsters.

For me:

a) Read very long form (books)

b) "Flow" over the text, extracting meaning without anchoring on specific symbol combinations (words, phrases).

c) Remove distraction. Re-center when mind wanders. Meditation practice can help.

d) Don't branch off when you encounter a new concept. For example, don't look up an unfamiliar word in the dictionary or concept on google/wikipedia.

e) Repeat (a)
Media.ccc.de – RC3: Remote Chaos Experience
Thats the point here. The two aren't similar at all.

MacOS apps contain all the app. Mac Apps leverage all of the OS functionality they can. They are strongly tied to MacOS and rely on it for most functionality. When I upgraded to Big Sur, the Mac Apps that run on my computer adapt to the changed OS libraries and often present differently.

Docker apps contain their own complete environment. They are deliberately engineered to disassociate from the base OS.

Electron is a sort of middle ground largely ignoring many system libraries, but using others.

The only thing Docker has in Common with Mac Apps is the fact that they keep associated files bundled together.
