"Free" can't indeed be put back in its cage, but this would also apply to real-life, and yet the majority of people don't go out stealing/robbing people even though it would technically allow them to get goods for free that they otherwise would need to pay for.

The problem isn't advertising in itself. The problem is that the law hasn't caught up (or doesn't want to catch up, thanks to corruption/lobbying by vested interests) with cracking down on large-scale non-consensual data collection (which we used to call spyware).

Ads are fine. The problem is that apparently ads don't pay enough and the advertising/data collection industry is engaging in unethical and potentially illegal practices of large-scale stalking (without informed consent) to try and get extra money.
Does anyone know of any general literature on this administratively top-heavy structure? It shows up in higher education as well, and I'm sure in other places too. I'm curious about patterns across domains and links to economic issues. Seems too coincidental that this type of structure is emerging in two of the most economically controversial areas of society.

>Sooo looking forward to being able to live fully in a virtual world. Virtual cash, virtual socially distanced "relationships" and friends, a virtual body so I don't have to work out

A surprising aspect of VR is that this is actually the complete opposite, just how much your real body actually matters. VR is exhausting. 10 minutes of Thrill of the Fight and I'm physically incapable of continuing. An hour of Rec Room or Echo VR and I have to stop from the sweat buildup. Even hanging out and just talking VR Chat is so more physical (standing, actively interacting with both arms, potentially full body tracking) than sitting at a desk during the day job, more comparable to something like being at a conference where at the the end of day you really feel it, all the standing around and slow walking, since in total it was more than an average day.
This is beautiful.

>Look up abuses of the "Baker Act" in Florida for example.

I have a friend who was involuntarily committed under the Baker act when she was in 9th grade. She was never suicidal, never threatened anyone, and was held for 2 days to evaluate her. A bully lied and claimed my friend made suicidal statements and thought it would be hilarious to tell the school administration that they were "concerned for another student". Rather than just a call to her parents and a long chat with a guidance counselor the school administration decided that clearly she was just lying and even though she denied everything and never showed any indication to any of them that she was a risk to herself or others they had her committed. The bully that lied to the school administration even went on to brag about doing it.

I think the real travesty here is that misuse is completely unchecked and the timeframe is absurd. If someone is being held against their will, without commiting a crime, why on earth is it considered fine to just hold them for days at a time before even being evaluated by a mental health professional? They already have to transport them to a mental health treatment center so why can't hospitals figure out an on call schedule for psychiatrists?

It's a farce that the standard of proof is so low supposedly in the name of safety and urgency and yet even while the situation is urgent enough to hold someone against their will it's not urgent enough to get a psychiatrist on the phone on a Sunday.

OK, perhaps not quite the same problem, because the hostility of angle bracket delimiters to the token tree parsing approach is definitely a real pain point, but it still has the problem of ambiguity, which is anathema to Rust even if it could be resolved by knowledge of the items in the current scope (which I don’t think it could be). Inside the square brackets, you don’t know whether you’re parsing an expression or a type, and that matters.

If anything, I’d say that this is much more trivially problematic than angle brackets, because on angle brackets you have to write quite convoluted code before the actual ambiguity arises; with square brackets, syntactic ambiguity arises much more easily and commonly—I can think immediately of a few examples of code that I’ve seen or written that would be ambiguous.
I think a lot of the benefits can be achieved by making more sophisticated types a first class citizen in the language. So for example things like date/time, intervals, and geometries are just another type. And you use normal operators to interact with those types and invoke algorithms.
haha I miss the people and the food :(
No, it’s the implication that without a college degree you have some shitty life deprived of opportunity. This is both paternalistic and condescending.

> If a medicine kills someone who should the responsibility fall on?

Medication, regulated or unregulated, is a risk the patient takes. I don’t think we’re optimizing for the right thing if the goal of regulation is to avoid death by medication. I’d rather die trying to cure my illness than die from inactivity/inability to try while the scientists go through the motions in the laboratory.

So to answer your question, we should empower patients to seek treatment, and live or die by their choices. Because it turns out no one cares about them more than they do. Also, this has been the law of the land in most African countries where natural/unlicensed medicine is heavily sought after, and no one is asking about who should be blamed for deaths during treatment.

You have basically 3 way to grow:
1. You go deeper into tech and learn more about architecture (improve performance, reduce cost, reduce complexity...)
2. You go toward management and learn to code with more than 2 hands to deliver even more. This also implied hiring.
3. You go toward the business side and become product owner/manager or event sales.

What path to follow is a decision you have to make.

I think they are intended to push you along with development. Since they continue multiplying and evolve to become stronger if you don't destroy their bases, you need to make sure your tech develops and that you deal with them. It's meant to push you towards constantly improving your tech, rather than focusing on e.g. optimising your copper plate assembly lines for hours on end.

You're looking for "peaceful mode".

I've played on both peaceful mode and normal settings. The advantage of biters existing is that they act as a check on runaway expansion and encourage you to move to cleaner energy sources. When you replace coal plants with solar or nuclear, you'll find that biters aren't annoyed by your base so much.
We've had a few people who thought their job was to close tickets. They'd write some code that fixed the problem, ignore all other problems (including ones they created while fixing the ticket) and call it done.

These people didn't last because that wasn't their job. Their job was to improve the product, and tickets were a way to explicitly telling them what their priorities are. Instead, they ended up creating more problems than they solved. Some of those problems we're still dealing with to this day.

Coding is something they do to improve the product, but it's not the only thing. They were expected to report other bugs they found, or just fix them, depending on the situation. And I'm not even talking "write up a full bug report with repro steps." Just a comment in the ticket would have been fine.

Code reviews are the least time-consuming thing that we do, and even if they took a whole day, they can start working on a new ticket until then.

The conflict I was talking about before is the difference between the goals of the company and the goals of the employee. The company wants a better product, in line with their vision for their product. The employee wants money and to advance their career. These aren't fundamentally incompatible, but some people's attitudes towards their career actually end up hampering their own goals.

The idea that "coders just code" is one of those ideas. That might work for junior developers, but mid and senior developers need a lot more skills.

Once, a number of years ago (Disqus has been around a while), I signed up for a Disqus account.

As part of the process, the service showed me a page of comments from around the Web, and asked if they were mine, and, if so, would I like to associate them with the account.

I was horrified. They included some...rather “rash” comments that I had made, over the years (I was not always the stuffy boomer that I am now). Many were quite old, and, I had thought, made anonymously.

I scragged the process immediately, and made a vow to be a good boy, from then on (I had already made that choice, years earlier, but this solidified it).

Nowadays, I deliberately associate myself with my online comments. I nuked my last anonymous account years ago.

It is my opinion that anonymity is an illusion, these days. I feel that knowing my words can come back to haunt me, helps me to be more careful in what I say; just like in real life.

I think a good lecture is always followed by a discussion. So the oral culture may be more inviting to the dialogue, even if it specifically doesn't require it.

Vice versa, we're now contributing to the literal culture by discussion and people have been writing replies to texts forever. However, the ratio of information read to the amount of information discussed is different. It's harder to find people willing to discuss in writing a random piece of text you just read as opposed to discussing verbally what the lector just said.
> media narratives - from reuters as well as others - about "reddit attention shifting to silver"

That was amazing. It took a few weeks of WSB going on GME before the media noticed, and by that time I was sick of how everything on Reddit was about that. And then one morning all news outlets talk about silver and I had seen nothing of the sort on reddit.

This makes me worried the modern reputable media is just an echo chamber, always promoting the same stories with the same views and never investigating anything.

Sounds like peaceful mode is for you.

I happen to like the biters. They give a nice "pay off" for all the industry you're creating. They're a chaotic externality that changes how you have to design things.

I think they're a bit too binary though. Either they're brick walls or cotton candy.
Sure some things would stay the same but what if I rephrased it and asked: if you had an infinite budget, what would your ideal office look like?

There have already been inklings of the new interfaces we could invent like Tilt Brush. We shouldn’t be thinking along the lines of how we could do easy things differently, we need to think how can we do hard things intuitively?

Edit: another consideration is that if we want to be less sedentary maybe it is worthwhile actually getting up and walking over to a filing cabinet in order to open a file browser. If it were an option it would probably be more effective than setting reminders to get up and move.

Not really know, but it depends on the size of the company and responsibilities expected.

In medium to large companies I've worked at where there is generally a separation of responsibilities, a UX Designer is responsible for understanding the strategy of a business and its products, and designing experiences for users to guide them through a successful journey on the platform.

They will typically work closely with Product Owners and User Researchers to understand business requirements and have some analytical data to support their decisions.

Deliverables will typically be wireframes and prototypes built in visual tools like Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, or even pen and paper.

I've worked in places that also have some kind of UX Developer or Creative Technologist that can put some of these designs into code for more interactive protoypes and Proof of Concepts, generally used for further testing.

> they always put the 360 camera somewhere really dumb, like next to the goal

Human stereo vision doesn't work at long distances, because of the geometry - the exact distance depends on how good your eyesight is, but somewhere around 18 feet [1] the brain starts using other cues because the difference between what your left and right eyes see is so minuscule.

This all happens unconsciously so you don't notice - but when you estimate the speed of a car 100 meters away, you actually start comparing its motion to the road markings, using your knowledge of about how big a car is, and so on.

So a bird's eye view doesn't really benefit from stereo vision. I suspect they like to put in those weird close-up shots to make the people paying $$$$ for 3D notice the 3D effect and feel they've got their money's worth.
