The quote "It's harder to spot/acknowledge for people on the left" sounds to me like patronizing "I'm simply right, whereas you are fooled by your media".

It shows a strong assumption that while that commenter is able to see the difference between bias and misinformation, the left cannot. And I don't buy it.

Neither people who watch Fox News nor people who watch NBC News buy it hook line and sinker.

So considering there was an attempted coup, and that many people still believe the election was rigged and that trump will come back in power (arresting biden) in the beginning of March doesn't exactly speak well for the "especially on the left".

Why is this "rent seeking"? eInk came up with an idea, reduced it to practice, patented that and now have a 20 year monopoly.

What they choose to do with it is up to them. It's a property right that they own. It's specifically mandated as a monopoly power that they have been granted.

After 20 years, anyone can make an eInk display.

You can argue that 20 years is too long, or that the patent is invalid, or that they aren't exploiting their idea in the most community oriented way, but calling this "rent seeking" and "counter to the goals of markets" is flat out wrong.

The "free market" is entirely about each individual making their own behavioral decisions, within the regulations of the market, to promote their own benefit.

You might not like the way the idea of patents has been reduced to practice, but that doesn't make the idea of patents a bad one.
I went with a Filco Ninja Majestouch TKL about four years ago and I’ve loved it. I needed ten keyless because my new under desk keyboard/mouse tray setup wasn’t really wide enough for a super wide keyboard.

You can choose the switch type you want to run with it as well, I’ve been running Cherry MX Blues, I think Black, Brown, and Red are also offered.

It’s a Windows keyboard so I swapped some keycaps and did some OS rebinding for Mac but I’ve loved it. I don’t know if they offer a Mac version yet or not.

It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t as expensive as my Das Keyboard I was moving from- which I had to replace after two years as it was fritzing out and the USB hub in it stopped working.

Here’s a link to a review I just found of it as it gives more detail. The reviewed version isn’t TKL though.

I just don't want Google to have their fingers in so many pies. It's way too much power. I don't necessarily want game streaming as a concept to sink, although I have the same qualms as you do about ownership and so on. But the technology is interesting, as is the fact that it opens up avenues for gaming to people who would not have been able to earlier. But I don't want Google to succeed at it.
I have never seen anyone refer to x86 as a synonym for the 64-bit ISA. In the Linux world, it's amd64, in the Windows world it's x64/64-bit, and sometimes in both of those worlds, x86_86. I don't think this loss of distinction is occurring at all.

No, you're not offering any concrete real-world examples. You're offering hypothetical examples of how a malicious user might be able to trip up a non-specific hypothetical automated OS installer.

Great initiative!

One bit that sticks out to me is that the "standard" math functions like `exp` or `ln` aren't imported despite `defn` being quite maths specific. It seems that they could be imported as default functions inside the scope of `defn`. That leads me to a more important syntax question though.

Do you have any thoughts or plans on operator syntax for elementwise operations vs matrix level operations? One big "win" for numerical Python was having `@` become an infix operator specifically for matrix dots [0, 1]. The syntax in Julia (which follows Matlab) is to have most math operators also have an element wise version. It's generalized to "broadcast" operations in Julia [2]. R appears to have ``, `%%, `%o%` infix operators for elementwise, inner, and outer matrix multiplication.

Really writing any degree of matrix (ahem Tensor) maths and equations becomes very tedious and illegible if you have to use function calls to distinguish elementwise vs matrix operations.

The pipe operator really does help significantly, even with simpler stats oriented code (I've tried a few different formats [4]). Still it's still harder to read if you're familiar with "broadcast" syntax from other mathematics oriented languages.

I'm not sure how much I agree with the law about charging for news links, but then I guess we're not really talking about links so much as a headline, photos and often a few lines of a story, and FB does get a lot of benefit out of them.

However I applaud the Australian government for standing up for itself regardless of the underlying law, and I have friends in Australia who have said how much better the facebook experience is now. It's actually gone back to being a feed of posts by people they know about things that are going on in their lives. That was the whole value proposition of the platform, for me, and the endless link-sharing has made it incredibly unappealing. I can read news and follow link aggregators elsewhere.

I hope Australia get to keep their new facebook, especially as I'm moving there soon!

Unicode answer is not so great because you can express compiled program in Unicode which obvious is non-text. Math expressions are always text because they always fit TeX or LaTeX.

Architecture is a beautiful example which provokes thinking. From first view it is a non-text, but an architect Antoni Gaudí has developed an attitude with hanging models which made his architecture plans to share some abilities of text even not being written. You may tell me I am crazy but his hanging models is a WYSIWYG model of something from real world so I consider it a text despite it could not be simply copied. IDK maybe a modern architect software shares that attitude, for make these models be copied easy. So my opinion is that architecture plan may be text at least from a structure point of view.
No, the problem is that left-vs-right doesn't really have a standard, global definition, so in an average internet discussion, you can have several people using their own definitions and not understanding that the person they're talking to is trying to say something completely different. To some, maybe mostly in Europe, its socialism vs capitalism. Whereas in others, maybe mostly in the USA, its SJWism vs Conservatism, or even Democrat vs Republican. The modern NYT (>2015) is definitely not pushing socialism, but they are pretty much anti-Republican, anti-white, pro-LGBT, pro-Antifa/BLM, etc to such an extent that's pretty far removed from the common American, or even the common New Yorker, and more like its coming from some Twitter echo chamber.

But google voice I can use the box or my laptop to answer, it takes voice messages, and text messages.

All in all a GREAT service.
Ah, that explains it, the button says "Order Now", which scared me off as I wasn't interested in actually ordering but was curious about the price.

Instead of buying into the market, at these inflated prices, and trying to time it, then perhaps sell puts instead.

I think that's the gist of it, and as such I also think that free capital flows will be massively restrained in the scenario you mention (a scenario which I also find very likely).

I have a topre keyboard. It is the most solid keyboard I've used and love it. I bought the realforce RGB. I didn't really care about the RGB, but it's nice to turn on a solid color dimly so I can find the keyboard in the dark. It also has an adjustable actuation point, so you can make it less or more sensitive. I keep it above the point where resting fingers on the keys can set it off. I could probably tune the actuation point higher on the home keys and make all the rest lighter.

I've tried lots of other keyboards including cherry keys, and did not feel as solid. I think it's because the topre keys move up and down in a plastic cylinder that prevents side to side wiggling. I seem to type more accurately.

My previous favorite keyboard was an apple keyboard (older non-flat version) and I thought it was great. Then after getting used to the topre keyboard, I laughed - it didn't feel very good.

> I applaud the Australian government for standing up for itself

They are not standing up for themselves, they are trying to control and influence the internet with the law, its a common tactic they look for. Any media newsgroup that's not in their pocket already they fear. They have an incredible track record on this and with journalists.

The current government doesn't stand up for anything except money.

Am I the only one who thinks the Model M is too elevated and thus unergonomic? With such elevated keyboards, several muscles in your hands are slightly but constantly active, especially when your hands are resting on the keys, in order to not press the keys unwillingly. The more elevated the keyboard is, the more your muscles have to work. Try resting your hands on your desk, move the keyboard aside for a moment and pretend that your desk is the keyboard. Try typing on your imaginary keyboard. Try resting your hands in that position. See the difference?
Australian here - day one of the news blackout is really weird. Some determined friends are sharing bit.ly links to news articles, most are just weirded out. Our national broadcaster (which can't even legally advertise anyway) is even disallowed.

> The role of "Management" is supposed be the oversight and allocation of human resources and other assets towards the completion of the org's stated goals.

Not really. In theory, management should be about growing your team member and maximizing the team's output. There are many ways to do so, and of course many disfunctional (sub)organizations where it is mostly about "playing the game".

Good management is hard, and indeed in many cases, doing the right thing is harder than as an IC. There is definitely some BS involved in any setup. But having a positive impact on your report's career is really a wonderful thing, that beats any project I worked on as a coder.

Aesthetic Programming: A Handbook of Software Studies
Dapr's solving distributed systems development at scale. Basically as you grow your team from a handful of people to many separate teams all working on different products, the technical architecture also evolves from monolith to SOA and then microservices. It's the natural logical evolution of anything at scale. Dapr is attempting to provide the primitives you'd need to build any sort of software at scale. Usually this buckets into; authentication/authorization, configuration, data storage, pubsub messaging and a handful of other things.

Full disclosure: I'm the author of Micro (https://github.com/micro/micro) which bakes in the same primitives but also focuses solely on development in the Go language.

It's also possible that there will be new macro events or technological discoveries that spark new rapid economic growth.

I am frequently charged with being a naive techno idealist, and will take such a charge here too if it's deserved, but aren't "technological discoveries" and the adaptation of technology what has kept our economy growing for the past few decades anyway?

Whether it's the opportunities of increased automation, the Internet, the role of medicine in improving longevity (consider MRIs didn't become mainstream till the 90s), agricultural enhancements, or even the effects of technology on financial markets, the world of economics and economic productivity looks, to me, nothing like that of 1980.

As a techno idealist, I would hope that we'll both see this continue and political developments to share the benefits more broadly across society.

I won't pretend to speak for everyone but...

* 100 (or less) year waste is something we could feasibly deal with. The cost of that needs to be built into the operating costs of the plant. Here in the UK nuclear plants have generally been allowed to take all the profit out and then declare bankruptcy. This dumps billion pound waste problems on the tax payer.

* I'm not convinced there really is such a thing as a meltdown proof reactor. This is my primary objection to nuclear. We've had at least 4 generations of reactor that were all 110% safe, impossible to break, triple failure proof until suddenly they weren't. Partly that's because it's really hard to design one. Partly its because operators focused on meeting targets and maximising productivity/bonuses quickly find ways to break them (eg Chernobyl).

* You should also consider cost. Nuclear is horrendously expensive even with the big costs (insurance and waste) being borne by government. I think we could spend the same money decarbonising other sectors and get a lot more decarbonisation for the $/€/¥ spent.

Personally I think the biggest thing we need are new human social structures that actually value safety and ultra long term management. That would make nuclear safe and viable long term. Its not an engineering problem to me, it's a sociology/economic/political issue. I have zero idea how to solve that. It's probably not possible as current economic and political models tend to seep though any barrier we create...
