Anyone remember the solar flare warnings/EMP stuff where we would all be set back into the stone age? Since we are heading into Grand Solar Minimum now for a bit, at least we can not worry about solar flares (tongue-in-cheek).
These systems the world over are usually poorly defended from natural or intentional threats. The US has atrocious handling of SCADA and attendant systems. Look at how fragile Texas is/was.
Oh wow, similar for me as well. Mom kept us in the "good schools" though by renting the smallest place you could in said Good School District.

Also, lots of weekends at public libraries.

(Thanks, mom!)
I remember finding this out years ago by drinking Natural Light many years ago. I went to nurse my hangover the next day and could barely lift a glass of water.
Seems like the thing to put some numbers on. If that perpetually poor narrative is only true for 1% of Americans, that's a population bigger than my hometown being forever mischaracterized and unrepresented. Ignoring the realities of others' lives is how we got rising fascism.

I doubt many are comforted in knowing they're a statistical minority.

Eight important decisions to make before setting up your event
Can anyone explain to me how the officials are not being racist as hell here? How could "worship of the written word" be a disadvantage for non-whites unless they are inherently less literate?

Or are they using some kind of academic definitions that don't actually have to do anything with people's skin colors? Their mention of "patriarchy" makes me think so since black men do exist.
Thanks for articulating this. I'd already wondered why I both like and dislike "I made it and you can too" and you captured it.

It's good for motivation and ... less good for social policy.
I've had the experiences of:

1. being on the high end of poor while being oblivious and in a socially highbrow environment (STEM grad school, $26k/yr salary, high cost-of-living city). I also felt privileged because i lived in a "foreign postdoc ghetto" where my neighbors were a single family on a postdoc salary (probably somewhere between 27-30k) living in a one-bedroom with two kids.

2. the experience of being "service-collar" middle-class while having peers that have mostly emerged from being poor (Lyft driver, $56k/yr earnings)

Now I'm a dev, on the lower end of the pay scale for bay area devs but one thing is I'm pretty fearless about winding up poor again because I know I can hack it and still live happily.
Now I'm a dev, probably on the lower end of the spectrum for the bay area
Retirees qualify for nationalized health insurance. In theory, those 65+ would be mostly immune for health-related bankruptcy (although co-pays/deductibles can still be problematic).

Anybody younger has to pay for health care out of pocket or buy insurance. The cost of paying OOP is exorbitant. Even buying insurance on the open market is outrageously expensive. In either case, major medical issues can easily escalate to be financially disastrous.

Edit - in my original post, I stated doubling my net worth (or income or whatever) wouldn't allow me to retire in my 50s due to potential medical costs. This is what I mean - even with a few million in the bank, retirement isn't feasible due to the cost of buying healthcare in the US.

I had this conversation with an uncle who lives in Scotland. He didn't understand why my dad was still working (at age 60). Medical insurance was the only reason. As soon as he got Medicare, he retired.

Most DIYs and commercial indies (and companies like Blizzard, Capcom, Namco, Square Enix, Rare, etc... for that matter) are using third party engines that handle the rendering for them. OpenGL will continue to be relevant as long as it's the API of choice for at least some subset of use cases in those engines. I would be very surprised to see any game company that uses cutting edge graphics to sell its games or the hardware they run on (Rockstar, Guerilla, etc) use it for a new project

Doing raw OpenGL as an indie instead of using an engine these days is unusual and likely to be ill-advised unless a big part of the point of the project is to learn more about low-level graphics programming, in which case you're not so much making games as studying programming through gamedev. It's like writing your own UI framework for your web app instead of using React / Angular / Vue. It's true that there are use cases that existing game engines don't cover perfectly, but the cost/benefit ratio just isn't gonna be there for a custom solution for most projects

Sigh.. you've become increasingly combative in the face of new evidence against your preconceived notions. You're also throwing out strawman arguments to save face.

I have never said not to intervene. That's purely something you've manufactured. You can intervene in the case of attacks. Nothing I've said contradicts that. However physical abuse in the case of defense is different than physical abuse as a training mechanism.

Also you justify spanking. Again this is not recommended behaviour by child and family psychologists today. Your methodology is very old school from an era that's passed. Whether you continue to practice it or not is totally on you, but preaching it as advice in the face of science and then getting defensive when pointed out that science has moved on, is not healthy.

I will not be participating further in this discussion due to your strawmen arguments and discussion in bad faith. It is clear you have no intention to understand the current field of science on both child and dog behaviour.
If true (and affordable) this is really good news - it's stupid that these expensive mobile computers were still stuck with limited memory. (Disregarding the fact that non-phones had expandable memory; I also don't recall if any model supported more than 256GB sdcards?). Now add removable batteries to these, and the ability to sideload apps (for free) and iPhone 13 would be the perfect phone ...
In sociology and political philosophy, "Critical Theory" means the Western-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, developed in Germany in the 1930s and drawing on the ideas of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. Though a "critical theory" or a "critical social theory" may have similar elements of thought, capitalizing Critical Theory as if it were a proper noun stresses the intellectual lineage specific to the Frankfurt School.
HIFI | https://hi.fi/ | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | REMOTE (US Only) | Full-Time

HIFI is a venture-backed team of technologists and industry veterans building the financial rights organization for the music industry.

Music royalties flow through dozens of opaque and fragmented sources, making it difficult for artists to track and manage their income. This lack of transparency has created an environment of confusion and disillusionment for musicians. We’re building innovative technologies that provide critical financial and business insights for our members to help them make better decisions.

HIFI's flagship product connects to each royalty paying organization, aggregating disparate earnings into a single dashboard and transforming irregular royalty streams into a consistent monthly payment.

We’re looking for a self-motivated Senior Full-Stack Engineer with a proven track record to create frictionless experiences for our members.

In this role, you will lead the development of our React Native Mobile App and the GraphQL Server that the app communicates with – connecting it to an array of backend services that integrate with our music industry partners. You will collaborate with your product, engineering and design colleagues to build delightful user interfaces that power our innovative artist solutions.

We are obsessed with helping artists, rights holders, and our music industry partners flourish; you should be too.

We believe that diversity and inclusion is critical to the success of our organization and the music industry as a whole. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply for this position.

This. There's only so much he can talk about from his side, and whoever legally owns the domain will have to provide information on what exactly happened-- should he wish to. That's also important, the owner may not want to talk about it in public (but that would just make the initial blog post even stranger, so I'm assuming they eventually WILL speak up about the rest..)

Some even make it slow to accept, or reload to a homepage after submitting, instead of back to the original page. It just doesn't make any sense to me. But apparently people just accept it as the way the internet is nowadays.

Micro:bit Educational Foundation | Front-end Developer | Oxford, UK | Onsite +Flex

https://apply.workable.com/micro-bit-educational-foundation/...

Working with the Web Tech Lead and wider tech team, you will develop web applications and enhance the microbit.org website in order to help children around the world get creative with digital technology, with a specific focus on broadening the diversity of students passionate about computing. This is a broad role in a small organisation, and will include working on “micro:bit classroom”, which provides connectivity between students and teachers in a virtual classroom and an online editor/development environment for students to write Python code to run on the micro:bit device.

The role will employ a wide range of skills and gives the chance to work on different parts of the web stack across several projects. We don’t expect you to have experience in all areas of our stack, but to give a flavour:

* Front-end code uses React and TypeScript (including the Python editor).
* The microbit.org website uses the Gatsby static site generator paired with the Sanity headless CMS.
* We use Create React App as a basis for new apps, supported by backend code in AWS Lambda (Node.js) and Pusher for WebSocket-based communication.
* We deploy to AWS via CI/CD pipelines using CircleCI or GitHub actions.
* Extensions to the Microsoft MakeCode coding environment use TypeScript with a little C++.

The micro:bit draws on technology from our global partners, and we work closely with engineering teams inside Arm, Microsoft, MIT, Nominet and with the global Python Community to deliver innovative products that transform the way computing is taught around the world.

Following in the footsteps of the pioneering BBC Micro in the 1980s, the project started in collaboration with the BBC in 2016. There are now more than 5 million BBC micro:bit devices in use across 70 countries. The micro:bit is at the heart of a diverse ecosystem of hardware accessories, software editors and educational resource providers, and a key role of the tech team at The Foundation is to support this ecosystem in growing and diversifying in an open way.

This is a good point. I thought along similar lines when I read:

"If you have never been poor, you may not realize how awesome Small houses and Toyota Corollas are."

Very fair and great point, so I hope it's clear my next statement is not intended to refute this at all!

However, you could also say that if become or remain wealthy, you never forget how awesome Toyota corollas are.
is it crazy? If you can get terms on low enough interest rate and long enough time horizon (aka, you're rich) it's not a bad choice because you are (safely) gambling that your earnings potential will go up over time, in both real and nominal terms, letting the cost of the debt decrease over time. Moreover, the opportunity cost of that cash not being invested and used for purchases is real.

OK but it was probably social engineering.
DRM isn't a good analogy, because no one is prohibited from experiencing most NFTs. You can't legally watch a DRM protected movie or listen to a DRM protected audio file if you didn't buy the privilege. But you can look at NFT GIFs, JPGs, movies all you want without paying a penny.

Though the DRM analogy may work in applications that interact with NFTs. For example, games with unique items. The application would limit the full experience of a tokenized object to the owner alone. For example, only n00b5lay3r may equip the Golden Sword of Evisceration, because it's in their wallet.
