This has very little to do with technology. This is a culture war, and after the capitol riot the culture has shifted to openly reject the losing ideology. Conservatives are right to fight the threat of censorship because there's always a possibility this could slide out of control, but the rest of society is right to push back until they decide to drop the election fraud lies that are tearing this country apart.

This is an interesting point, and you're an excellent writer.

So the obvious question: is it acceptable for the group of people you described (large corporations) to read your messages and insert themselves in private conversation?

> Two different “occupy” event listings were written in a Nazi-style font and began circulating on Facebook in December.

Do they mean a gothic/Fraktur style? Is that considered nazi in the English world? I’ve always learned it as a German script with no relation to the 3rd reich.

Edit: I off course understand that neo nazi use it to express their relationship with nazi Germany, I’m just surprised to see it described as a “nazi-font”
That made me chuckle. But to be fair, in this case "monolithic" function is just a way to describe this pattern of moving your entire app (express in this case), inside a Lambda function. When Lambda started to become popular, this was the most common way to migrate to it. Just move your monolithic app to a function, hence "monolithic" functions.
That makes sense (I figured novelWriter did that, since it looks an awful lot like an attempt at a Markdown-based answer to Scrivener and that's how Scrivener's "Compile" function works), and I suspect it won't be too difficult for novelWriter to add other file formats to its exporter. So not being able to output DOCX is probably not a long-term issue, unless the maintainers have a philosophical objection to it. :)

I don't think the security benefits - while considerable - would be enough to allow a car manufacturer to surveil everywhere I go.
I started off by doing that, but ultimately didn't like it for my use cases.

* It didn't seem to grant a lot of benefits over pattern matching (errors were pushed to compile time checks in both cases).

* It had larger cognitive overhead since the allowed transitions were either all over the place in the source instead of in one match statement or weren't colocated with their structs.

* It didn't seem nearly as good at attacking the combinatorial complexity you see in these matrices as pattern matching is.
I find that going for a walk before / after work is helpful to get in the right mindset. Hopefully that's an option available to you.

Make sure you've got everything ready to go when you 'arrive'. Don't do chores during the day -- but if you have a partner, discuss your reasoning for this with them beforehand.
Zelda II the Adventure of Link had a save feature. I thought Kirby's dreamland did as well. There were a number of games that had save files although of course many did not include the needed hardware on their carts.

FWIW, the SNES also had no storage, and saves were in the carts. Not until the N64 did Nintendo ship a device with fungible, non-cart storage.

Reddit is unique in that it allows you to find and connect to a community with very little friction. The other day I was thinking about buying a mini PC. I googled 'mini PC reddit' and immediately find r/MiniPCs and r/sffpc. Now I can sort by top all time and see the lay of the land in the community, see which devices are popular, etc. I can ask questions and get a quick response.

If these communities were on traditional forums, I wouldn't be able to do any of this. I would never bother to make an account specifically for that forum. Some communities benefit from keeping out tourists like me, but not commercially.
> The riots were most likely political AstroTurf before an election via amplification of convenient (and unfortunate/terrible) imagery to turn out voters.

So, Trump was behind it, so he could run on a law and order platform? Because he certainly did take advantage of it.

I'm afraid the boring truth was that ordinary people got angry during a time of high unemployment, with protests and rioting being a predictable result. It's not as though large protests over police shootings are new.
There have been a bunch of Trump protests in DC since the election. The city was boarded up in preparation for them. But they’ve all been completely peaceful. People got complacent.
> People say the small interactions are important to build relationships, but I would like to challenge that.

In my experience, it depends a lot on the specific situation. Most people need a certain amount of conversation to "calibrate" on how to interpret others' words and actions. Who's a skeptic? Who's a neophile? Who uses sarcasm a lot? Who doesn't get sarcasm? Who expresses disagreement openly and often? Who hides it behind subtler signals, or avoids it altogether? (This one's often cultural BTW; the more diverse the group, the more important this calibration becomes IMX.) "Teamwork and common goals" don't ensure that this calibration will happen.

If it's a group who have already calibrated, you're more likely to get away with avoiding small talk. If you regularly have to interact with members of a broader group who don't already know each other well, things can take a bad turn. Tiny misunderstandings can add friction, and even snowball until people are working at complete cross purposes or are even in open conflict. In 30+ years, 10+ of that working full-time remote, I saw this happen over and over again. Introverts, extroverts, whatever. Nine times out of ten, just a little bit of conversation outside of the by-then-contentious subject areas helped a lot.

I'm not going to say your own experience is less real or important, but I will say it's a bit presumptuous to issue a general challenge or say things like "relationships aren't built on small talk" as an absolute truth. Often, they are.

I have a lot of admiration for Reddit. They're the only place I can still go to in 2021 that doesn't feel like getting a window into the dumpster fire that is other social networks like Twitter. The author is also quite right that they shut down viral pathways, which prevents the worst offenders. If I don't want to see politics on Reddit, I'll never see politics on Reddit.

That said, I kinda scoff at the author's casual diss of Craigslist and assessment of their advantages. Craigslist has 50 total employees, nearly a billion in revenue, and a strong mission. It's not like people haven't tried to take them on before. Reddit will not be the next Craigslist any more than r/CMV will be the next Reddit. People go to Reddit because it's easy to see good content and not see bad content. I 100% attribute that to the ability to mod, downvote, and have community-based subscriptions. The author has a pretty good sense of what makes Reddit good, but has a horrible sense of what makes Craigslist bad.
No, I don't think it's about blocking Github. Many of their tech companies are using open source.

For China it's safer to have a Chinese Github ecosystem. Just imagine if Github suddenly decide to block Chinese users like they did for Iranian users.

It's also strategic for their government and some critical private sector to not put their source code on an American platform. So there are enough incentives especially after everything that happened to Huawei.

> I don't think arguing from authority has a really great track record this pandemic

You're essentially arguing that you have authority as some credible interpreter of data.

The takeaway is that practically no one seems to know how to manage the pandemic effectively, unless you want to resort to welding people inside their homes.
If you have a cell phone with active cellular service then you might as well have a tracking system on your car and derive some sort of benefit, as you're already being tracked and you already don't have your privacy.
There's a lot of active research on quiet drones. Expect that issue to get sorted out.

Is nobody going to mention the hilarious typo in this article? "mechanics plug in to asses"
Most likely thing to be stolen from my car is probably wheels, catalytic converter. Both of these require jacking up the car, shoving some bricks under it, and stripping the parts in a matter of minutes. All I need from an alarm is something that takes care of that scenario.

If someone steals it the car they have - as the article says - likely done it the easiest way: they walked in my unlocked front door and took my car keys when I wasn't looking.
oh, mobile. yeah agreed. thanks for link, haven't seen this.

The S-word makes it sound, like it or not, like a moral injunction—deep, passionate and enthusiastic readers we may well be, there nonetheless remains something about the way we transform marks on a page or screen into images and ideas in the mind that leaves us feeling like failures.

Now if we could just disable the feature that causes the horn to honk when locking the vehicle with the key fob...

As someone who lives on a residential street, but with a hospital at the far end, we have tons of patients, families, doctors, and nurses that park on our street to avoid paying for the garage. I get to listen to horns honking at all hours.

A few cars (Acura comes to mind), do a bit better, in that they have a very soft, more pleasant beep instead of honking the horn. My vehicle allows me to disable the horn honking completely, but it is buried deep in the settings, and I doubt few people would ever look for it.
It seems to me that you're mostly talking about RPGs. I can't think of any NES-PS1 platforming/shooter/action games that had 60 hours worth of content.

If you look at today's RPGs, they're still _really long_. It is expected that most players who play Persona 5 Royal will take over 100 hours to complete it, which is pretty wild considering it's not a 'grinding game'--players aren't taking that long because they're fighting the same enemies repeatedly hoping for a rare item to appear. There really is 100 hours' worth of contents.
This phenomenon affects almost all business books, which, even for some very good ones, are typically only a few pages long. In an extreme: Crossing the Chasm, which explains a powerful insght, is basically one diagram.
From a business account analytics point of view, the difference matters.

From a social analysis point of view of incomes inequalities, they are just random labels.
This tone is so irksome to me. It's the "works on my machine" fallacy, but with UX. If people experience a bug or UX problem, it really doesn't matter if it's the "fault" of the software or those users.

For me, this is big. It’s a step towards shifting our studio from an R development environment to a general purpose data science development environment. I’d be happy to not have to use Jupyter any more for iterative development and data exploration.

> You seemed to do that further up this thread. When confronted with questions about the violence on 1/6 you responded with references to the violence perpetuated by BLM protesters.

Correct, I was comparing the violence in general. This is different than your original claim that I was comparing BLM property damage to the Capitol Hill murder.

> As far as I have seen, there were no murders committed by BLM protesters as part of any protests, riots, or whatever you want to call them. Even in this post you are still referring to "BLM murders".

I'm thinking of incidents like Michael Forest Reinoehl (Antifa). He murdered a right-wing activist and was very explicit that he did it because he believed the right-wing was a threat to Black lives. In any case, we're not going to learn much by looking at the outlier instances of violence; in both cases there are much more uniform trends of lesser degrees of violence spanning from trespassing to property damage to assault. All I'm asking (indeed, all anyone is asking) is that we hold BLM rioters to the same standard as MAGA rioters, BLM assailants to the same standard as MAGA assailants, etc.

> protests, riots, or whatever you want to call them

To be quite clear, I'm distinguishing between the protesters (and protests) who are by definition peaceful and rioters (and riots) who are by definition violent.

> And like I said previously, we are already comparing millions of people protesting over months in cities around the country to thousands of people in one city protesting on one day. There were vastly more opportunities for violence at the BLM protests and yet the only person to person violence seen appears to be in response or initiated by people on the other side.

The murder is an outlier, you can't conclude on the basis of this single event that the broader group is uniformly more dangerous. I don't know what value there is in even trying to compare how dangerous either group is; what's important is that we're holding violence to the same standard and not glorifying some violence and condemning others on political grounds.

> One was much quicker to instigate violence against people.

What? How do you get there? There were tons of assaults recorded on camera during the BLM protests going back to probably 2014 including many unprovoked assaults. In ~2016 one guy went on a killing spree, explicitly targeting white police officers (and as I recall, WaPo or someone released a sympathetic portrait article rationalizing the mass murder). I don't have tremendous sympathy for MAGA folks, but there's half a decade of clips of people getting the shit beat out of them for wearing a MAGA hat in the wrong place, virtually none of which featured prominently in the media.

Again, this isn't about which group is more violent, it's about consistency. Even if MAGA folks are more violent, it doesn't justify us completely letting BLM violence off scot free. If you (universal) failed to condemn years of BLM violence, you have very little credibility to demand justice for an afternoon of MAGA violence.

> Has Linux desktop share been increasing lately?

At least I feel I see a lot more Linux now, not just in the company I work for but also elsewhere.

The speed advantage over Windows is so huge that it is painful to go back once you've seen it.

MS Office isn't seen as a requirement anymore, nobody think it is funny if you use GSuite and besides, last time I used an office file for work is months ago: everything exist inæ Slack, Teams, Confluence or Jira and these are about equally bad on all platforms.

The same is true (except the awful part) for C# development: it is probably even better on Linux.

People could switch to Mac and I guess many will. For others, like me Mac just doesn't work and for us Linux is an almost obvious choice.
I think there are some laws - you're not allowed to have an alarm that wails for hours on end for example, it's gotta stop in a few minutes.
Another “500-mile email” story
I think that's fair. When we started back in 2016 with Lambda, it was similar to how you describe it.

Now we've got a ton of companies that just use Lambda. So you can imagine a team for 50 developers, working on 40 or so separate services, with 500 or so Lambda functions. It can be hard manage the tooling for all of this internally.
They also tend to be resurrected once outside the immediate lifespan of people who lived through them. For example, "trickle-down economics" was once called "horse and sparrow theory" back when the idea was popular in the 1800s.

(where did "trickle down" come from anyway? Well, if you feed the horse enough oats, there will be some left for the sparrows. That's what's "trickling down".)

What you have heard is correct. Taste in itself is done on the tongue, and consists mostly of salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. (Though not on different parts of the tongue, as is commonly taught. That's long outdated, and was a misunderstanding from the beginning.) There may be some other taste sensations as well, but not many.

Flavor is taste on the tongue plus the smell of things going through the back of the throat to the nose. The illusion that the flavor is all in the mouth is very, very powerful -- but it's much the same way as looking at something doesn't make you think the object is in your eye. The sense of smell has far, far more shades than taste does -- tens of thousands at a minimum, maybe many more.

Vinegar (especially plain white vinegar) is almost completely a taste -- you sense acidity with the sour receptors on the tongue, and that's all you get. It should taste more or less the same in your mouth, but you might not be able to tell the difference between white vinegar and cider vinegar.

The only successful examples I've seen of Reddit "unbundling" come from communities that were banned from Reddit. This is because of a quirk of how Reddit handles subreddit bans, where if a subreddit is banned and a new one is created with a completely different moderation team, different rules, etc. it will still get banned for being a "ban evasion" subreddit. This means that banning a subreddit effectively bans any hypothetical future subreddit dedicated to the same topic. Because of this, if the community cares enough to start a new website for the topic it's highly likely that most of the users will move over there.
I used to provide a similar example to my kid, when he complained about how boring math was: that he was spending years "learning the alphabet" and only on the other side would it become interesting. He stuck to it and ended up majoring in math.
