Maybe there's partly a cultural difference. Here in the UK, "liberal" mean would still greater freedom of speech even if you meant "liberal" in the political sense. Ironically that's probably one of the core tenants of political liberalism! By the way, the most liberal party here is in the centre politically, so it's very clear here that liberalness is not determined at all by left-rightness.

I don't claim to know as much about the difference between Republicans and Democrats as Americans themselves, but I find it very surprising to think that Democrats would oppose freedom of speech particularly more strongly - I'd actually presume it to be the other way round (maybe based on my own conflation of "liberal" in the US sense and in the original political sense).

With all that said, the way the original commenter referred to liberal as simply meaning "more ... use of law" is pretty hard for me to take seriously. Is apartheid more liberal than racial equality because it requires more laws? Come on. It comes off as an attempt to slander (ironically!) liberalism by claiming any bad law is liberal because liberalism uses laws.

That is certainly an interesting article. He bluntly declares it obvious that a bunch of leading, mainstream philosophical thought it utter bullshit without explaining why (and instead arguing that nobody can explain why), and I completely agree with him.

Well, except with the bit that numerology is to astrology as astrology is to astronomy. It seems to me that numerology is to mathematics as astrology is to astronomy, but I admit that like the philosophers he's criticising, I too have not read a book on numerology.

(I wrote that before I finished the article. I still haven't quite finished it, but he later ponders about the possibility of creating a nosology of thought; a system to diagnose these maladies of though. And then he gives up because it can never be simultaneously complete and usable. I think that's foolish; you can enormously expand the current nosology by identifying, naming and describing even just a few of these (and some of them seem pretty easy to me). And that vocabulary can grow slowly as people add more.)
Darwin’s Dim View of the Second Sex
"Decades later, despite many respectful and admiring interactions with Martineau and other female writers and thinkers, as well as with his intelligent and well-read sisters, wife, cousins and colleagues’ wives, Darwin comprehensively dismissed women’s intellectual potential. 'The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes,' he stated in ''The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex'' (1871), 'is shewn by man’s attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can woman — whether requiring deep thought, reason or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands.'

[...]

He conceded that there was 'some reason to believe that aboriginally (& to the present day in the case of Savages)' men and women demonstrated comparable intelligence, thus implying the possibility of regaining such equality in the modern world. 'But to do this, as I believe,' he added, 'women must become as regular ‘‘bread-winners’’ as are men; & we may suspect that the early education of our children, not to mention the happiness of our homes, would in this case greatly suffer.'”

Neither. Because of the nature of the business, it's far easier to run an insurance company when you take a 5-10 year outlook as opposed to the quarterly cycle that public companies deal with.
The repairs that need software changes are not (generally) the ones that are at issue here.

One big issue is that a fair number of tractor code faults are emissions control faults on these machines which are super annoying as the emissions system is sensitive especially as it ages. That may be in part a problem with overly strict emissions controls. So deleting emissions controls is popular in this space. And yes, dealers actually do help with this on tractors.

It's controversial, granted, but I don't think that's a fair reading of the poll. Here's another:

* A majority (56%) of responders want some form of pattern matching.

* Exactly half of all responders, forming nearly 90% of the above majority, are fine with that form being PEP 634.

* There are differing opinions about supporting PEPs, but a supermajority (70%) of those who agree with PEP 634 are fine with it alone.

The fact that it was possible to express more nuance when agreeing with PEP 634 shouldn't diminish their voice against those who reject the idea altogether.
> The only reliable cure for overthinking seems to be enjoyment

However, enjoyment in a high-stake situation is too hard to achieve. For people like actors, athletes and musicians, confidence generated through enough practice seems to be the cure. Enjoyment is an aftereffect. For situations for which you have no way to practice, enjoyment just seems hard.
In the 90s in rural missouri everyone had those orange tractors (new). Or the red ones (older, or new combines). Or the blue ones (new). Not very many green ones except rusting in the field or as the toy old one you used for around the property work while the real one was doing real work.

I used OSM as turn-by turn loaded into my Garmin [1] for my three year drive around Africa, and then to cross North America six times in 2019.

I have been utterly staggered how accurate and complete it is in every conceivable scenario - dirt street villages in Sudan and Mali, capital cities in same, capital cities in South Africa and all over the US and Canada.

I also used it to drive down through Southern Europe, to cross parts of the Sahara and Namib deserts and even in the mighty Congo it had more detail and info than any other mapping source I've ever seen.

My hat is off to the OSM team.

Some interesting bits from the article:

"In less dramatic ways the same principle applies to all of us. A fundamental paradox of human psychology is that thinking can be bad for us. When we follow our own thoughts too closely, we can lose our bearings, as our inner chatter drowns out common sense."

"To make good decisions in a complex world, Gigerenzer says, you have to be skilled at ignoring information. He found that a portfolio of stocks picked by people he interviewed in the street did better than those chosen by experts. The pedestrians were using the “recognition heuristic”: they picked companies they’d heard of, which was a better guide to future success than any analysis of price-earning ratios."

"How do you learn to unthink? Dylan believes the creative impulse needs protecting from self-analysis: “As you get older, you get smarter, and that can hinder you…You’ve got to programme your brain not to think too much.” Flann O’Brien said we should be “calculatedly stupid” in order to write. The only reliable cure for overthinking seems to be enjoyment, something that both success and analysis can dull. Experienced athletes and artists often complain that they have lost touch with what made them love what they do in the first place. Thinking about it is a poor substitute."

Tell me more about Mixaba. I've had the same idea. Rather than brain storming in a large group, break into smaller groups and then mix up the groups periodically. My guess is this would lead to faster group consensus and result in fewer people feeling left out or that they hadn't been heard.
This looks pretty neat. How does this work, do you code and specify a target output? Curious if there is a link somewhere that shows the output files ...

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing your experiences. This job really does demand a lot from your free time. I can see that not being a pattern I’d like to continue indefinitely either.

Lately. For now.

Investing in a company on its way to being in the Top 10 may give decent returns, but once a stock is in the Top 10 it tends to trail market returns by 1.5% per year:

What makes you think being more popular, as popular, or even a fraction as popular as Windows (which is used on billions of devices) is a goal?

I can think of some niche use-cases. For example, my mother owns a perfectly functional printer and spent quite a lot of money on ink cartridges, only to have the manufacturer refuse to provide drivers beyond Windows 7 (and never bothered supporting anything but Windows). React OS could allow her to continue using this otherwise functioning printer until she runs out of ink and cannot buy any more cartridges.

There are probably tons of other weird devices out there that are beyond their official EOL and require some previous version of Windows to continue to be used. There is also a lot of software that people depend on but which is either EOL or the original software vendor is defunct, and React OS can provide a compatible environment to run that software on regardless of what Microsoft chooses to do with more recent versions of Windows. It may seem crazy and there are probably a variety of security issues with running unsupported software, but for some people the risk will be worth it.

I tried the purism phone and it was fine. Really, it was snappy and responsive and h/w accelerated.

What I did notice is that gnome isn't dialed into phones (so to speak). For example I tried setting the date/time and you have to press +/- on the hour and minute to get to the time you want. The popup for month had a long list of months, but it put jan-mar off the top of the screen.

That's obviously a pretty fundamental difference in point-of-view. And it looks like your point-of-view is shared by a large majority.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

While the AKM fire made life hell for some in the fall, I don't think it had a lot to do with the overall semis shortage (the current market for audio codecs is insane, but differently so than the rest of the semi market).

The bigger issue has been the rolling effects of the pandemic supply chain interruption. All these factories are operating on a just-in-time system. They carry 0 inventory (often getting multiple shipments per supplier per day straight onto the factory floor). Semiconductors happen to have a deeper depth of those steps (Mine silicon->build/process dies->doping->wirebonding and packaging->PCB assembly->final assembly) than most of the other bits, and every single step in that process has been running with effectively zero slack. Once there's a single interruption anywhere in the line, it echoes forever (see [1]

Just in time works great when your suppliers don't have correlated failures. It goes to hell and can take a really long time to recover from when lots of suppliers start failing.

The Twitter spam out of control now

Edit2: and another one https://twitter.com/WimDeVilder/status/1359276766871838723

This one hacker group is able to steal 5+ verified accounts/day. I am still trying to figure out how they do it.

If it weren't for crypto, hacking and spamming twitter would not be nearly as lucrative, so that is part of the problem. The financial incentives are so great. Nowhere else can you literally make $300k in 1 hour with 1 or 2 tweets..i am not kidding about that given how much BTC has gone up and the extreme gullibility so many crypto holders. Also, it helps greatly that Twitter does not allow users to moderate their comments, so the scammers will make posts and then block whoever's profile they posted on, so the scam is invisible from the perspective its target. Good luck trying to post that shit on a YouTube video comment or on reddit...that shit would be deleted so fast, but on twitter the scams stay up for hours or longer.
Apple’s Mad Dash to Avoid Shipping Delays Amid Pandemic

OSM isn't perfect--especially on trails that aren't official in any way. (Although there are some totally informal trails literally out my door that are far better than you could reasonably expect. And the missing sections are probably on private land which is one reason I haven't filled them in.) But Google seems to have pretty much zero interest in mapping even popular official trails in many cases.
"Contrary to their expectations, the researchers found that avoiding social media for one day did not result in participants expressing improved personal well-being, such as higher levels of positive emotions and lower levels of negative emotions, higher levels of self-esteem or higher levels of satisfaction."

One day? I don't think that's nearly enough time to see the benefits, and it really only allows enough time for FOMO. Knowing that you will be going back to it tomorrow, why would you make an effort to use another form of communication?

I gave up social media a while ago. I think it's hard to see when you're in it, but spend 3 minutes in an Instagram feed and say "ad" out loud every time you view a promoted item or influencer. You will realize that you're essentially looking at a feed of advertisements with some friends mixed in. If that's how you like to spend your time, fine, but recognize it for what it is.

Any substantially more fulfilling activity will take weeks or months to get into, so I don't view abstaining for a day as worthwhile.

Lastly, these studies are often done on students. I think social media has a more significant benefit in college and grad school when there is low friction to join in on things you see on social media. You might see ads for events, or friends are going to an event, and it might take 10 minutes to go there and join the fun.

Once everyone moves away, you see the activities posted online but miss out on the social interaction and the event because flying across the country is too big of a barrier to join in on the fun.

The content here is definitely a useful meditation on what people's core ideals are over time, but I think it paints a really shallow image of human beings. Of course people's Twitter bios change over time, they're a roughly 25-word blurb, not a perfect representation of the individual running the account. People are allowed to feel some topics need more limelight than others at certain times of history, that doesn't mean they're some horrible vulture using the cause for personal gain. Just because you take Bernie2020 or BlackLivesMatter out of your Twitter bio doesn't mean you stop caring about those things, it just means you changed your Twitter bio.
I'm mixed on this one. While I love pattern matching in SML and Rust, I don't know if it's right for Python.

Like other comments have said, I loved and learned a lot of Python from looking at a code base and understanding everything immediately because there wasn't much to learn on the language end of things. It was nice and small. Not that the addition of pattern matching is a death sentence for simplicity, but I fear that it may lead to some other extraneous features in the future.

I like powerful, featureful languages, but I personally like Python as a simple language that anyone can learn 80% of in a busy weekend.

Will I use pattern matching? Maybe. I'll definitely play around with it. Now if we could get some algebraic datatypes then I think I'd start contradicting myself...
It’s worth enough to me to hope they don’t ruin it. I was using it every time I needed to check the info on some instance.

"So in moving it to GitHub, we’re finding that a lot of things are just nicer because a large paid staff of engineers is working on it every day.

This seems to sum up the biggest pain point that drives people away from OSS. Not knowledge, not skill, not price, but the total experience of a nice piece of software that lets you get the work you actually want to get done... done.
