This sounds kind of like a blog-as-database approach. Certainly the flexibility in reading formats is nice. I guess I wonder why not open it to less of a forced-newest-first display, if the goal is to be info-first. RSS and other feeds are really good at making old stuff seem irrelevant, or simply hiding it.

Personally I like a little bit of that chronological feed mindset. Certainly my thinking evolves over time. Hopefully for the better, averaged out.

But I also like to use the "blog as website experience stuff/tools" and hope that it benefits my visitors as much as it benefits me. Tags, sidebar and footer content, integration of other databases. I find my own blogs' website interfaces useful to me, in a variety of ways.

I'm also working on a custom navigation menu to give what I'm working on more of a presentational, organized approach. Even if some portion of my audience won't use it, I can tell that the reverse chrono feed format just isn't doing, and can't do, everything. It also needlessly reinforces the worst parts of the "new vs old content" dichotomy. Some of my visitors tell me they really like my old, buried content. It may not be who I am now, but it seems to interface well with who they are, and what they want.

Good food for thought, thanks for posting.
I heartily recommend proper winter boots for anyone that is worried about slipping. Not all boots are created equally, but the tread and rubber compound used for most winter boots can make a dramatic difference in grip while walking.

For those who have never owned transportation in a cold climate: winter tires on vehicles make a big difference in traction. They channel and grip to snow and ice much better than the tread and rubber compound of a standard all-season tire. The same concept applies for winter footwear.
Yep, this is very similar.

How so? According to https://www.blockchain.com/charts/pools, it would be no easy feat to start controlling more than half of the current network. Even if some of the pools got together. And if you launch such an attack, it would be easy to notice what's going on.

But if you do have some idea on how the network could be overtaken by a "dozen people or so", please do tell as you have some unique insight.
Adding Webpack to Rails 6 added enormous complexity. Now DHH is trying to unwind that. Maybe the maintainers will remove Webpack in Rails 7? In any case, I love DHH's concept of "conceptual compression."
Yaktrax have been adequate for me on compact snow and ice. I also have kahtoolie brand microspikes that I use when hiking, where yaktrax wouldn't be adequate and crampons would be overkill, but they wouldn't be comfortable for walking around on icy roads and sidewalks.

I haven't seen Greenwald do much other than outrage manufacturing in some years. I guess it's paying the bills.
As I mentioned, that one is easiest to expect, and a seceding country would be paying a fee for 10 or 20 years that would pretty much cancel any tax savings.

After they are done, the formerly parent country could introduce visas for travel across the border, and as someone mentioned, all the income for people living outside the Wall Street would still be taxed by residency, as is the case today.

Of course, the rules would need to be carefully worked out, and it would disincentivise some but not others to secede (just like today). The goal should only be to avoid armed conflict in reaching the same state.

Basically, we all accept that killing someone is illegal if you disagree with them, but there's this sudden jump when countries declare war on each other and now it's ok to do exactly that.

Basically, it's double standards, and it should be a criminal act to declare war on anyone.
Really!? This is the best tip I've heard in years. This will save me a lot of time when on the go (without access to calibre)
It seems counter-productive to me for journalists to call for spaces like this to be taken down.

Far more valuable to them should be to leave them up, set up their own account, and lurk. Online fora where people believe they are chatting privately or psudonymously are the ultimate honeypot for teasing out things they would never say in public. I recall the time Mitt Romney was outed by an anonymous recorder who divulged several things he said during a high-ticket fundraiser that did poorly for his messaging on the campaign trail in 2012 (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/top-13-quotes-mitt-romn...).

Everyone keeps saying that, but it's simply not true.

We have understood how this is not true for decades or even hundreds of years, and it's not even some impossible concept to grasp.

All that's required for a trait to persist, is for it to benefit the pool, not the individual.

The only way the seemingly obvious but incorrect idea you descibed applies is, a trait which is good for the group at the expense of the individual, if it's 100% effective like sterility unlike say alarm-calling which merely carries a risk for the individual, is that such a trait can never grow to where all members exhibit it.

But it can absolutely be strongly selected for maintaining whatever the optimal percentage is. IE, if it benefits the pool for 10% of members to be sterile, then the percentage of sterile members will not decrease through the mechanism you and so many imagine, but will stay at 10% for as long as the benefit exists.
90% after 150k miles sounds amazing. I find it unbelievably amazing.

>> Most AAA games already have 200+ ms delays between pressing a button and anything happening on-screen. So there's plenty of room to redesign things to work around that latency in a lot of games

Source please?

I have produced / designed / managed a few AAA games in my life and none of them had a 200ms latency between when you pressed a button and something happened on screen. That delay would be horrible for a fighting game or a driving game. How are you even defining "something happening on screen"?

Let's suppose you are right, that there is a longish latency between when your input is polled and when the game systems fully react. That happens to some extent in RTSs, because changes in the game state are synchronized. But in that case the delay isn't going to hide the network latency, it is going to be added on top of the network latency.
When this was discussed about two months ago the conclusion I took away was not very many at the moment beyond somewhat formal equivalence.

Not even just that. After being confronted about the fact that Marc never said it, Lorenz didn't apologize at all and said "it was just another male voice that sounded similar". Turns out, in the end, it wasn't even a "male voice", it was Felicia Horowitz. And the context in which that word was said was fully appropriate too, regardless of who said it. If you show what Felicia said to any reasonable person, I don't think they would be able to argue that there was anything "problematic" about it. Relevant quote from the article:

>The moderator of the discussion, Nait Jones, said that “Marc never used that word.” What actually happened was that Felicia Horowitz, a different participant in the discussion, had “explained that the Redditors call themselves ‘retard revolution’” and that was the only mention of that word.

And of course, after all this overwhelming proof that this was all just falsehoods and lies, there was no apology, no retraction, and the "journalist" just decided to play the victim as if she was the one who was wronged.
If just a few more terms would suffice then why does he say "nobody knows how much computation it would cost"? Are you saying he's just referring to the half-ulp + epsilon case here too? If so then I've definitely mixed these up!
In practice, we collectively do blow off that error rate. For example, the US has many high profile miscarriages of injustice that it hasn't meaningfully solved for decades. There are people who get jerked around the justice system that can't get the system to justify a retrial or their retrial produces the same flawed outcome, similar to how Google's systems jerk people around with little meaningful recourse. There has been plenty of public protest (and insurrection) about these issues throughout the US that indicate the system isn't working as these people are fighting their issues outside normal civic/political channels.

The US is a democracy and its citizens do tolerate this level of failure.
Neither. It's more akin to the fundamental theorem of calculus. If you follow your data from point A to point B along some differential path, you can sum up/integrate the steps to follow your data in a single jump from point A to point B directly (with the jump in terms of those integrals). It's a super interesting viewpoint on gradient descent and models that use it that could be really useful in looking at and understanding those models abstractly, but isn't saying anything about suitability for different tasks.

This is his substack, and honestly I think he's entirely justified going for the hit. If this was in a publication, I'd have higher standards.

Having said that, the NYT and their writers have gone too far too many times for instances like this to go unnoticed. I think it's entirely justified to start fighting fire with fire and calling for the cancelation of the cancelers.

I agree, though context is important too. Getting separated at 80 would likely mean a severe drop in their quality of life, for the remainder of their days. Getting separated at 50 much less so, especially for the man (usually). At 40, the perceived value of that stability and certainty is probably not worth the unhappiness.

and then decide this was good quality, unbiased journalism worth paying for. And then go on to post that sentence as evidence of its goodness.

Looks like anger porn to me.
You can certainly limit your exposure. I switch my walk to work to a bus on overly cold days. The first comment in this thread literally describes doing this:

> Forget the health benefits, until it warms up I am not going to walk anywhere other than to my car. Even that can be dangerous at these temperatures.

If you need special equipment, you are not getting people to do long walks in winter conditions.

> You can't hibernate all winter.

People reduce all kinds of outdoor activity in winter, and depending on where you live you may have spent an entire year limiting what you do outside.
I liked the Edgar Scissorhands commercial the most, followed by this one. The Reddit commercial was good, too. I thought most of the commercials were pretty awful this year.
Flagging this. Greenwald has totally lost the plot.
Depends which "individual piece", especially whether it was on the side that "spent money" or correspondingly "raised taxes". The individual mandate polled as 43% "very unfavorable" and 20% "somewhat unfavorable". Perhaps that's why it was, in fact, repealed.

If you're a manager at a McDonald's, and you switch to being a programmer, were you demoted then too? I think every time I've heard the word 'demoted' it was in the context of staying on the same ladder. It just doesn't seem like the right word choice, even if it is arguably correct.
He's always been that way, having started out as a polemical blogger, and before that as a litigator.
This guilt by association is really scary (and a trial by mob). And it doesn't seem to even matter if the accusor is telling the truth - as long as they have enough Twitter followers, they can wreck someone's life.

He has absolutely always been like this. His rambling screeds used to be posted to reddit pretty constantly long before he published Snowden. This NYT reporter made a mistake and posted an incorrect accusation on her twitter, that she later corrected. Big mistake, but she owned it. And here he is calling the situation "Stasi-like".
>He clearly holds disgust for his subject, which ruins his ability to speak impartially about this topic

I wonder if you share the same disdain for these very same behaviors within modern "journalism" that Glenn discusses in the article, as they are increasingly ubiquitous.

This comment is deeply ironic.
Exactly, and this is why "in theory" Google reCaptcha, the that is just a checkbox, is a needed solution. If they only used it to just stop spam and not also to track legitimate users...
How does having the "BSD Zero Clause" with your content work? I open sourced my blog's software, but I still keep all the actual content in a separate private repo, since I don't want my written content distributed under the same license. Also works out well, since I have the github action automation in the private content repo.

I can still easily change the private flag down the road if I were to decommission it (though, unlikely -- I'd just archive it somewhere).

I'm also using Gatsby if anyone is curious (https://github.com/cbeley/beleyblog & https://chrisbeley.com).

Exactly this! A couple of times in my career I've stepped over into management, and regretted it each time, in large part because I can never get to the point where the manager-y stuff "counts" as work; instead it's stuff that gets in the way of doing "real" work, so the job is constant misery.

What an deplorably dishonest argument to present to laypeople.

If there is some weakness in it so the accused has a way to plausibly deny the DNA test, it will take a consultant who has relevant competence something like week or two to find it.

Finding a problem doesn't require looking at every line of 170,000.

I took a fall on the ice and banged my knee pretty good a few years ago. It was a minor thing, but it really opened my eyes to how fast a fall occur, and how little control I might have when it happens. I am in decent shape, I have good reflexes and range of motion, and I thought I knew how to fall and how to avoid injury. That day I learned that's not always the case. One moment I was moving along at a brisk pace, and in the blink of an eye I was on the ground rolling in agony. It took a moment to even process what happened.
Being “right” but unconvincing because of abrasiveness is just screaming into the void, or worse, into an echo chamber. If he can’t create an article that wins people over with reason then why write the article at all?

I’m sympathetic to some of his points but this article by itself is not convincing.
It isn't true that this is merely a 'they'll shut this down too' situation. After transferring music to YouTube Music, I now have to watch ads on the content I had purchased. When they sold me that music, they told me I wouldn't have to watch ads on the music I paid for.

In my eyes, this is theft. Shutting down a service is fine. Theft isn't. I don't accept that company name musical chairs absolves Alphabet of its responsibility to render to me the goods that I paid for. I see this as a rebranding, not a ceasing, so in my eyes Alphabet still has a responsibility to me as a custodian of the digital goods I purchased from them.

He criticizes other journalists for being singularly focused on calling out “bad behaviour”, but has anyone made a bigger career out of doing exactly that than Greenwald?

It’s hypocritical. I’m not even saying he’s factually wrong (I don’t have the interest in fact checking him). I’m just saying that every time he writes anything, he can’t help but draw comparisons to fascism.

Yes, it’s helpful to reference fascism when witnessing truly fascist things. I, too, am opposed to fascism. But that’s hardly an interesting or controversial position.

Yet everything Glenn doesn’t like seems to be a part of either a grand conspiracy or a symptom of said conspiracy.

Dude is off his rocker.
How much does this differ from the version I bought on Leanpub?

It's contentless and cheap. I'd like to hear some counterarguments to Glen's points instead.
That's the first time the word "restraint" have appeared near Greenwald's name in a long, long time. Given that he's accusing NYT reporters of being the Stasi, I don't think that "restraint" is the word I'd use to describe him.

The genes that convey contextually useful characteristics (although generally inclined to spread rapidly) are not at any point evenly distributed.

In some context genes that were useful in ancestoral context loose their use, or even become a burden.
