We were discussing imminence, though, and you switched targets without actually addressing how Lynn Wood's statements meet the imminence prong of the test. You can't refute statements about one prong of the test by hopping on another. You're supposed to meet all prongs of the test.

You're also contradicting Volokh, a well-known and well-respected liberal first amendment lawyer's analysis by vaguely gesturing at one of the cases discussed in that very article.

Maybe cooks use these terms differently but in physics this is heat conduction not convection. Convection is when heat is moved by moving matter in gases or fluids.
I still think about this book every time I get on Zillow. Great chapter on buying a home.
Not necessarily. The phone company can't cut you off for what you said on the phone.
Honest question: how is any firm meant to make any money in this worldview? If everything has to be Open Source, then maintenance contracts (which are completely optional) will be the only way to earn and will decimate revenues. Creating a beautiful and functional piece of software is hard work. We should be thankful that firms open source even parts of their product.
MS office is head and shoulders above Libre on Linux. I'd happily buy it.

Not sure on the effort required. I checked GH (not a Microsoft company...) but couldn't find the source code.

Sort of. Often a big chunk of your CoL is going into a massively appreciating asset. People always seem to ignore this when talking about the top n most expensive cities in the world. You can literally sell your apartment and go live in a mansion most other places on the planet when you feel like it.
>Most Americans used to be farm workers. It's only in the past thirty years that most Americans stopped living/working in rural/agrarian settings and began living in cities.

What? Is there a typo here? 30 years ago was 1991. Are you saying that most Americans were living in agrarian settings in 1991?
I'm confused. My intuition is that the lower the acceptance rate, the higher the code quality would be. It demonstrates high standards.
Just because something used to happen a long time ago, doesn't mean it can't or isn't happening anymore. Cults, MLMs, and scams in general are older than the 90s and still going strong.
I'll take the downvotes for you. Various very plausible drivers IMO:

- Plastics in EVERYTHING throw off hormone balances, including both metabolisms and... other things hormones affect. It's not just BPA.

- Dramatically different ages and rates of childbearing. Both lifestyle and hormones again.

- Pornography has completely changed how many men (and some women) interact with society. Lifestyle and... hormones.

- What percent of Americans are on some form of chemical antidepressant? A lot.

I'm sure there are dozens of other plausible drivers, and the answer isn't any single one.
>the past dozen years or so of the information age have made it abundantly clear that simply having the truth on your side and making a rational case for it is not even remotely sufficient to counter the spread of misinformation.

Hasn't that been the case for all of human history?
Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a double standard at work. I recall every news outlet spending bottles of ink explaining how massive BLM protests somehow weren't spreading covid but now the capitol protests are. However I think there's a fundamental difference between breaking into a Target and looting it and attacking the capitol of the United States. Of particular concern are all of the side details. The detail that a threat assessment was not done for this protest despite knowing about it weeks in advance. The fact the police responded less strongly to this attack than they did to a protest by disabled veterans in wheelchairs and later took selfies with the attackers. The fact that insurgents carrying blue lives matter flags beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher. The detail that the person speaking to this crowd just a few hours earlier was the president of the United States.
Implantable defibrillators are designed to be stopped by a magnet. This is a critical safety mechanism to stop a defibrillator that continues to fire inappropriate shocks. Any emergency department will have a special magnet just for this purpose. If anything it’s kinda cool that the iPhone can achieve this.

I'm not so sure about that.

I'll counter and say that Americans have never been aesthetically pleasing (regardless of weight) because selection has been historically low in that regard. In mass migrations of the past, the most privileged and attractive (those likely to find a mate early in their life) did not emigrate from their respective countries.

If you're looking for an open source Python language server, check out `python-language-server`[1].

It's released under the MIT license, and works pretty well. While it's maintained by Palantir, it works well for me, so take from that what you will.

This is a bit extreme, and also quite unhelpful, truthfully. It just happens to sound virtuous because the crosshairs are pointed at fascism, and that's ignoring the myopic focus on the US' issues.

Pick your battles, as the saying goes. It is possible to care about issues without carpet bombing everyone with your concerns, or wedging politics into every discussion.

And similarly, be careful what you wish for. It sounds like a terrible and exhausting way to live.
Cheap but fast r/place clone. How?
Thanks for getting back to me and clarifying that point - I had assumed as much, but just wanted to make sure.

I recently watched a video[1] by a fellow called Lex Fridman, an AI researched, and a productivity power-house. A commenter on that video aptly pointed out that Lex comes from a lineage of hyper-productive and scholarly folks, and thus his rigid schedule of 10+ hours of productivity is not necessarily attainable for the rest of us mortals.

I think I have been trapped in a disillusion for a long time that:

A) I should aspire to perform 8+ solid focused hours of work per day, otherwise I am failing.

B) Most people achieve a solid 8+ solid focused hours of work per day.

In reality, due to some recent research and your initial comment in this thread, it has become clear to me that this is simply not the case. The reality is that it's much more of a 'different strokes for different stokes' scenario, and I think I'm gravitating towards the more 'structured unstructured' way of setting up my days, with less of a focus on expected output and more of freedom to enjoy the work and process without the paralyzing pressure of expectations.

I also think I'm nearing the 'final stages of productivity enlightenment', in which one realizes that the constant research and obsession with productivity (productivity porn?) is also a distraction, and that at some point you have to block it out and focus entirely on applying instead of finding the next kernel of truth.

On that note — back to work!

New Year's Resolution
The type of food we eat has a major impact on the prevalence of overweight individuals. The fast/easy food is the most calorie dense, most affordable, and least satiating compared to the food we used to eat 40+ years ago. Even adjusting for eating habits and lifestyle differences (sedentary people tend to get bored and snack) the food itself is just more efficient at delivering calories than it used to be and our population hasn't adjusted to this fact.

Let’s not kid ourselves, most people use Code because it’s free as in free beer, and that’s it.

I personally feel lucky that unlike for categories like web search, social networking or mobile messaging, the IDE market features some reasonably-priced paid alternatives of extremely high quality.

But many people - including some truly outstanding developers - will continue to use VSCode because they believe that free as in free beer is always better, no matter what. There may be privacy violations, a desecration of FOSS ideals, shady business practices - you name it - and they will continue to use it as long as it’s free and the negative externalities are not too bad. I wouldn’t agree, but I do empathize.
"BigTech has gone nuclear with censorship" immediately after a coup attempt is a wildly different statement than "there is a long-running political double standard that exists in tech companies when it comes to enforcing their TOS". Should I take take it that you have conceded your previous statement?

I think that if you want to contribute, they should at least be upfront on the processes, or even the absence of it. Some do not accept at all, some do only accept on bugfixes, and some are happy to extend the project. The chance of merging of course is a decent barometer for contributors who wants to work on projects who are allegedly open to contributions, but I will not use it as a barometer of the quality of the code itself (or at least as a minor barometer - never as a major one).
David Goggins makes the claim that due to his learning disabilities he acquired the diving instruction manual 18 months ahead of time and wrote it out by hand 10 times in order to learn the material.

Visa and Mastercard should not do whatever they want, because they are just middlemen in transactions and all their decisions affect their paying customers, much more than themselves.

Visa/MC take the money of their customers, who use their cards, by promising to help them pay for anything they want.

Visa/MC do not have any right to decide unilaterally what their customers might want to buy (as long as no illegal goods are involved), without consulting their customers first.

If a user felt that way, it would make no sense for them to choose Vue. Vue’s up-front, stated design goal is omit special cases or edge features intentionally and directly assert that’s not a good way to design a framework.

Vue may be right or wrong, but nobody wishing for special case features can claim to be surprised. If you picked Vue knowing you need a bunch of special case features, that’s on you.

Copyright is a government granted monopoly on intellectual property, not an inherent right. What needs to happen is extreme reform (or outright abolishment) of copyright. Though that's basically a pipe dream right now
Hardware is most impressive indeed, but software as well, in particular Rosetta 2, the translation works well. Also the hypervisor works well, Parallels desktop flies with arm versions of Ubuntu and Windows.
I thought the new monetisation ideology of New Microsoft was "push to Azure", and that they don't necessarily have to monetise specific products as long as you're kept in the ecosystem whose funnel is the aforementioned. Thoughts?
Have you considered that maybe the "mainstream media" is right?

I know it seems almost impossible–what with them basically espousing the same values that used to be generally accepted as "good" a decade or so ago: overcoming division, not burning coal just to piss off the libs, not killing vice presidents on Wednesdays and Fridays, international cooperation, arms control, caps lock control, etc...

And that YouTube guy you adore does make a lot of sense when he shouts at the camera. Not just on dietary supplements but also how the loss of traditional gender roles has specifically disadvantaged high-IQ males with STEM affinity.

That pronoun thing might even get someone killed, in a very convoluted way.

But even then it just doesn't seem to have the potential to end the republic quite as easily as, say, musing about having the military re-run the election in states you lost, in such an obvious way every living former SecDef signs a letter asking the military to disregard such orders.

> a business should be compelled to bake a cake with a certain message on it

That is a misrepresentation of the case:

> Craig and Mullins filed a complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission under the state's public accommodations law, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, which prohibits businesses open to the public from discriminating against their customers on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.

The complain was under a _state law_ specifically to address sexual orientation discrimination and it has been acknowledged that such law doesn't force a business to make cakes with arbitrary messages.

That said:

> If all meaningful communication is dominated by too-big-to-fail businesses with AI that can scour all correspondence, a reality we are rapidly approaching, then freedom of speech becomes meaningless.

I agree that monopolies and centralization are a threat to freedom. Though would argue that it should be addressed both via decentralization (and specifically through counter-anti-desintermediation as discussed in the P2P Foundation: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Counter-Anti-Disintermediatio...) and anti-trust enforcement.
So one thing I think that gets lost is, to me, the most important quality in code is: how easy is it to debug. Like, I remember once having to maintain this guy's code where he just went crazy on C++ templates. And like, he proved that he's very smart and clever, but it made his code practically unusable since nobody could figure it out, and trying to debug a template masterpiece is like the hardest thing in c++ coding because the errors are impenetrable.

Coding isn't about proving your smartness it's about making something people can use and work with.
Does FOSS mandate that anything and everything must be open sourced? Richard Stallman holds this belief that all software should be free as in speech, but is such belief universally held? Or simply put, did MS violate any license at all?

And no, I didn't imply that FOSS supporters are freeloaders in any way. You got that impression probably because of loss in translation. Rather, people who criticize MS for not open sourcing a specific piece of software are moral crusaders, trying to force a company or anyone to totally comply with their moral standard.
One can be skinny on crappy food and obese on healthy. It is simply calories consumed vs calories spent bar few exceptions. And for increasingly more and more people stuffing themselves have become the only way to "get away from it all".
It blows me away that John Mackey, the founder of Whole Foods, frequently says that people need to eat healthier, and the twitterverse absolutely excoriates him. It's seriously disturbing. COVID is of course helping expose that we have run out of "real" problems and unlike any other time in history, people now have the option available to literally become fat, dumb, and lazy. I realize it's a touchy subject, but I think it's a mistake to not stigmatize obesity (not overweight but obese) the way we do smoking. Incentives matter...this might sound cruel, but have insurance stop covering health problems related to obesity and watch how quickly people stop eating McDonald's four times a week. Clearly I prefer a tough love approach on this issue.

Microsoft don't let you access perf_event, which immediately makes it useless for me for example.

It's not really fragmentation as much as there not being being a billion dollar company making the stack actually work in the first place - if Apple decided to rebase onto Linux for some reason there's nothing stopping them getting everything shipshape just that it takes a lot of time and money. The vast majority of Linux boxes distro's are probably pareto distributed so 20-80 to make up a random number. The stack isn't that sparse.

In a sense, law-making is all about providing incentives. How's birth control any different than other aspects of life? I'd say that's a quite broad definition of coercion/manipulation.

If there's anything in that course that would be directly valuable for lawyers, I think it would be version control systems (assuming they cover it.) I don't know how much legal literature exists in this form today, but I imagine all laws and court decisions will migrate to such systems for the ease of access.
Inciting violence is illegal in most countries, you can still prosecute people who participate in such actions with a decentralised system.

You might not be able to remove their speech but it would still have consequences (again in most countries).

This could even be worse for people who engage in such activities since you can't remove your words in hindsight! I've seen a lot of back-pedalling and removing of tweets from people.

B) is a myth. Statistics show consistently and over and over that those who do the best in the US are the college-educated. Media is produced by the college-educated so it is their class' problems gets the most attention but it is clearly not their problems that are the worst. It's all those who were too dumb or too socially disadvantaged to get a higher education what will be SOL in the future. Those who voted for Trump and will vote either for him or his successor in 2024.

Just basing on people I knew who were like that.
VSCode was likely open sourced at all (in a limited way) because they were legally required to, having decided to use LGPLd WebKit/Blink; and their use of V8/Electron probably promoted this as well, even though that wasn’t mandated by the Apache/MIT license.

However, it is quite clear now that it is not because they want to “support the open source / free software world”. (And to some of us, this has been clear since day 1)

Raw 8K RED footage at 75 FPS which is what you would be recording at if you master at 4K 60* is about 120GB a minute that’s over 7TB an hour.

No reasonable internal drive could support that and you’ll be looking at a high speed NAS or an NVME JBOD/DAS solution to support that.

*The extra frames and pixels are really important for final mastering as you need extra bits to do image stabilization, cropping, color grading and sharpening correctly it also makes more complex post processing work easier to perform even things like rotoscoping are much easier to do when your objects are twice the size and you have much less pixel bleed between what you want to roto and the rest of the frame.

2011 MBP for me. Everything since has felt like a downgrade.
I agree with you in general, people (especially data scientists) are bad at naming things.

It's probably the core skill of good programmers though, so it should be taught more. I don't think anyone sets out to use misleading names, but it's easy for name and code to diverge, and it's crippling to readability.

However, often when refactoring/updating such data scientist code (or even understanding), I need to break apart the long method chains, and this is much, much more annoying than dealing with crummy names.

At least I can print the values associated with the names, which is not easily possible in the really long method chain.
