There is definitely a "sweet spot" where things could be very uncomfortable for you, if you're doing well enough to not qualify for government assistance but poorly enough to need some kind of help. In general I think a lot of stories are somewhat sensationalized and that our culture is more enthusiastically self-critical than Sweden's.

Schools are an example, how you always hear about the ruinous costs of expensive schools, but it forgets all manner of grants, academic assistance, and the existence of much cheaper schools (everything from in-state to community colleges). A greater portion of American citizens have tertiary education compared to Sweden[1], so it would be weird if education were effectively/relatively more expensive here.

Healthcare is similar. It's provided free to people who can't afford it and people with good jobs will get health insurance from their jobs. There is a window, the sweet spot I referred to, where people can "technically" afford healthcare so it isn't given free by the government, but affording it is a genuine hardship for them or an unexpected illness crushes them financially. You can also shrug off lots of medical debt by declaring bankruptcy or telling the hospital you will declare bankruptcy unless they negotiate better terms for you to pay - and hospitals can't turn you away in an emergency.

Housing is impossibly expensive only in some areas and incredibly cheap in others. Go on Zillow and look at houses in Houston, for example. I expect you'll see large and luxurious houses for relatively good prices. Houses in some cities (Seattle, New York, SF) are expensive but not in all/most.

Regarding overtime it depends how you get paid. If you're paid by the hour then unpaid overtime would be illegal. If you're paid salary then the expectation is that you do your job if it takes 8 hours a day or if it takes 12 (or if it takes 4). Some jobs exploit this but again, it's right in the sweet spot. High end jobs either compensate you enough so it's worth it (think: your high priced business lawyer will answer your 2 am phone call, but you pay him millions) and other jobs won't exploit you too much because you'll leave if they try it (work life balance isn't good).

I have less knowledge around maternity leave and paid vacation. I've only seen that stuff from my perspective and I've been lucky enough to work at places where both have been generous.

The Key Difference Between Personal and Professional Investing
This right here is why i've been less and less enthusiastic about some of the roles credit plays in our society. You get credit assuming the future will be in some range, but then you can get screwed if it deviates. So now you have to fight for it to stay that way, and when shit hits the fan, there's this long chain of dependencies that needs to unwind to allow flexibility. Like it's trading robustness for efficiency.

This sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.

The most probable scenario is that life is born multiple times, in multiple places, when conditions permit it.

There's no evidence of life moving across planets of different star systems.
OMG! - Ok so "chuvat" (watch attentively in other slavic languages) seems related to "chuvam" (е.g. "listening attentively" in bulgarian). thank you!
While that seems like a huge cluster, it does kind of seem that the patch rejections come from a set of principles. If the patches would improve Bluetooth audio at the expense of breaking existing features, saying "we don't break existing features" is a valid position to hold.

> Perhaps it's fixable via education and platform-specific guidelines.

I think this is right, but I also think it should be clear to everyone (i.e. in the first tutorial) that not using a Link widget will make this work wrong for all sorts of accessibility and UX reasons. And the Link widget should work across platforms and implement the equivalent of page history correctly.

Maybe it's worth writing down somewhere what the equivalent of each tag from HTML is; what is the canonical way to create an h2, input, textarea, button, a, img, etc.
> Heh, I must say way, impressive GitHub. You the original author of the OSDev wiki’s barebones Ada tutorial?

Thanks. Yes, you can tell because it doesn't show as a fork on my gh and it should show on the wiki who wrote it.

> Off topic, but have you ever heard of CHILL? It’s a language from the ITU designed for telephone switches (like Erlang) but is supposedly very similar to older Ada standards.

Yeah, heard of it, that is all though.
And really common. We've actually heard horror stories of the lactation nurses can be the worst. Personally, we're pretty open about the fact that my wife had a double mastectomy yet we still got "I would never" type of shade thrown our way for formula feeding. The struggle is real and it's not the right time to be shaming a new mother.
That's an interesting though, like software documentation that hasn't been updated over years of patches.

Do you remember where you read that? Sounds like an interesting bit of history.
Review of the quality of publications should never be made by your indirect superiors. If you want to have an internal quality review process, fine, but the people have to be peers or immediate superiors, and the criticism must be public and must not be related to the company's bottom line, in order to allow for revisions to increase the quality before peer review.
Americans are pissed about a lot of the things we see around us, yet we also have a political system that, were all of us involved, would likely provide the means to fix many of those things.

If you ask an American about, say, the problem of homelessness they will tell you it is awful, and there are more people living in tents, and etc. etc.

But, the overwhelming majority of people will not lift a finger to get involved in either nonprofit or public-sector solutions in any meaningful hands-on way.

So, we're upset about everything and simultaneously unwilling to put in a collective effort to fix any of it (even though we know we could if we really tried - we were raised on the idea of American exceptionalism after-all). I think that produces a sort of cognitive dissonance throughout the population. We know these problems are tractable, we know we're capable of solving them, but we also know we're not going to do a damn thing about them.

The origins of the cognitive dissonance can perhaps can be attributed to the strong mythologic narrative of individualism in the country running up against the erosion of community, the income gap, the increasing complexity of the problems we face, and the inadequacy of out K-12 education system to prepare students to function competitively in the 21st century.
just an assumption, but probably because even though it comes from the same company, even on android flutter is not a first-class citizen...?

iow, maybe they dont have access to all the internal implementations that give the native toolkit higher performance...

can anyone clarify that?
Better sandboxing, basically.

A system was needed for video, turns out it was a good fit for audio.

Audio and video aren't that different, TBH (audio just has more alpha/blending rules, and lower tolerance on missed frames; video has higher bandwidth requirements). Wouldn't surprise me if both pipelines eventually completely converge. Both "need" compositors anyways.
But there's pro audio in a studio, and then there's people like me who occassionally record stuff on our normal desktop systems and find it annoying to remember / lookup how to switch audio stacks.
https://rive.app/ is built with Flutter. I use it a lot works very well for me. It's a good example imo of the kind of website that Flutter is a good fit for.
> The first bit is repeated addition

So now your definition of "repeated addition" is "repeated addition, plus a version of multiplication". Division is the inverse of multiplication, so your definition is circular: you're "defining" multiplication in terms of repeated addition and multiplication.

Similar objections apply to another poster's contention upthread that the "repeated addition" definition is justified because of the distributive law. The distributive law defines A times (b plus c) in terms of A times b plus A times c. So it's useless as a definition of multiplication in terms of addition.
Perhaps a key distinction is whether the algorithm is mostly learned from data or whether the algorithm is mostly hand-engineered.

In a broad view, I don't think there's any meaningful metric for the "mostly" you're talking about.

Sure, "mostly" seems to make sense in the context of laboriously trained deep networks. But if the training process is improved, drawing a line between training and "looking and understanding" become hard/purposeless. At the limit, suppose some crazy genius created a small, "hand crafted" program, from GOFAI or whatever principles and this program "knew how to learn". If you fed it Wikipedia or whatever, it understood that and by it's content, it would then be "mostly trained on data" or would it?

Question for the flutter devs - have you ever used The Internet?
Flutter is winning the race in cross platform development. I have been using Flutter for past few days, and I really like the package on whole, tools and community. Having used Xamarin and Qt in the past, Flutter is a lot easier to learn.

PulseAudio and PipeWire embody the correct approach. The problem with OSS is, if you're using anything resembling modern audio formats, it risks introducing floating-point code into the kernel, which is a hard "no" in mainline Linux. So if you need software mixing, it should be done in a user-space daemon that has exclusive access to the sound card.
While that's all true, in the literal sense that those protections/benefits aren't legislated in the US, a significant number (maybe a majority, don't know for sure) of workers do get these things from their employer.

Education - yeah, this one is a problem. College costs too much. State schools in my area are $18k/year for in-state students and $51k/year for out-of-state/international students. That doesn't include room, board, book/supplies.

Housing - highly dependent on region. NYC, SF, LA are very expensive, but so are London and Tokyo. DC, Boston, Chicago are expensive, but "affordable" in the sense that most people with solid employment can purchase a home (anecdote - 2 friends of mine are UPS delivery drivers and both owned homes in their late-20s).

Health care - most workers have insurance through their employer. There are often large co-pays and deductibles. And the US as a unit overspends massively on health-care compared to Europe, Japan, and others.

Mandatory OT - highly dependent on job. Hourly workers get OT pay. Salaried workers (exempt) do not. IMO, a lot of salaried workers are misclassified as exempt when they should be hourly wage earners, but that cow left the barn a long time ago.

Vacation/PTO/holidays - highly dependent on job. Most salaried workers receive 3+ weeks/year of PTO. Hourly workers is hit or miss. FWIW, I have 5 weeks vacation, 2 weeks sick leave, and 10 holidays. This is about as good as it gets in the US and I've been at my employer 18 years (stared with 3 weeks leave, 2 sick, 10 holidays).

Parental leave - yeah, we lag WAY behind here. It's terrible.

1930s Poland we are not. But, there's LOTS of room for improvement.

> Since when has Docker on Intel Mac been crappy?

Since forever if you actually try to use it for real development? https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77

> As far as the "laundry list" is concerned... 12 apps were listed. 5 were emulated, 4 were native and only one having a minor issue that was easily fixed. Only one of the apps needed a preview version and that was docker. VSCode worked fine emulated but there was a native version being tested.

I will quote the relevant parts of the article here since you can't be bothered to read the whole thing.

> One issue I encountered on both my M1 laptop and also a MacStadium MacMini instance that we use for Mac testing is that Brew randomly started to complain about git missing.

> The Docker team advise that QEMU is a best-effort approach and that it is best to run images natively as much as possible. I have encountered myself issues with some binaries when I tried to emulate them via QEMU.

> One thing to note is that Docker-in-Docker is not supported by QEMU (abandoned PR here). So you cannot run an arm64 Docker in an amd64 Docker or vice-versa. However, if you run your natively-supported Docker-in-Docker, the inner Docker can still run multi-platform images fine.

> Another issue that I noticed with the Docker preview on the M1 is that there are currently performance issues with multi-processor use - so much so that performance using a single core is sometimes slightly better than the performance of using 8 cores. Or at least that's what @jasmas claims. I've also seen some benchmarks testing the import of a database like MySQL, and it seems that there are some clear performance issues (~25X) with the Apple virtualization API. I've not seen such a drastic difference in common use, but hopefully these are addressed soon.

> An issue I ran into with the amd64 version was that I did not realize that the terminal was also an amd64 process (Again, Rosetta 2 is just that good). In some situations, this led to some strange issues when running Docker, where QEMU was acting up with segmentation faults. After some head-scratching the issue was resolved by switching to the ARM-based VS Code Insiders edition.

> I ran into issues when using the JVM. After investigating online, it seems that OpenJDK is not yet available for the M1. The way this was manifesting for me was that the JVM process would just hang randomly. By using --platform=linux/amd64 in Docker or in Earthly builds, I was able to get OpenJDK to work most of the time, but I'm still seeing random hangs.

All of these bugs after the author _initially_ wrote:

> All the software I need to use "just works". I found that if an ARM-native version is not available for an application, the emulated one works just fine and there's no performance drawback that I can notice.

> I am very confused where you are coming up with there being a ton of hoops or beta software needed for this.

Reading the article rather than skimming it helps a lot.
The tax prep industry lobbied Congress to prevent the IRS from auto-tax filing. The compromise was "free filing" for those with median incomes and below. For a majority, W2s, 1099s and the previous years return can provide an auto-filing framework. The IRS would send your their draft and you agree or modify. Other countries do this.
I don’t think so, why would that happen?

I would expect it to actually increase the market rate because setting aside some amount of the supply at below market rate / subsidized means that there is a smaller remaining supply than if they hadn’t done that.
The more I read into that list, the worse it gets. Cyberpunk 2021 is on the list because you can play it via Stadia. Clicking on the first item it says "The game can load up, but all the game text is invisible." but is marked as playable. Age of Empires II says "it runs but has hiccups every second, launcher can't display text. if you launch the game there is a 3 second freeze" but is marked playable. Six items on the list are listed as playable because of GeForce Now, Fourteen because it runs on Windows 10 ARM in a VM, and that is many of the newer games. Taking a look a Crysis(2007) it runs at about 45 frames a second, has audio issues and doesn't work for everyone as someone else said it won't even run, marked playable.

If you buy a M1 Mac for gaming I think you will be quite disappointed indeed.
This is absolutely end to end encrypted. A proxy can only strip the IP. The NaCl client side encryption deployed on private.sh is what makes this end to end.

The client encrypts the search query with the public key of gigablast. The proxy proxies the encrypted payload to gigablast. Gigablast decrypts the payload, performs the search and encrypts the results with the client's public key which is included in the encrypted payload. Then, Gigablast passes the encrypted results payload back through the proxy to the end user who is able to decrypt the payload and display the results.

In conclusion, the proxy (private.sh) knows your IP, but not your search query. The search provider (gigablast) knows your search query but not your IP.

Hope this is clear!
Even CPAs aren't responsible for leaving you exposed to an audit, unless it was through gross incompetence, or if otherwise specified in a contract. TurboTax gives you some feeling that you have exhausted most of the straightforward avenues for reducing your tax liability, but offers no guarantees. Tax preparers are really only liable if they start telling their clients to do grossly illegal things on a regular basis, or if they do shady things to cheat them out of their refund. For example, receiving the refund in their own account and paying the client half.
probably not. you can just delete the file when you're done if you don't want to watch it again. 50 GB is more than enough to maintain a queue of a few movies/shows. if you have enough bandwidth to stream legally without buffering, you have (roughly) enough to do the same with torrents. most tv show torrents are just rips from legitimate streaming sites anyway.

> The IRS themselves need to provide this "auto tax" service.

Interestingly, they now can: under the Free File program, tax prep companies would offer free filing (for taxpayers below 72k AGI) and the IRS would not compete with their service.

After a ProPublica investigation in their dark pattern shenanigans (leading to about 3.5% of taxpayers to use the program when 70% are eligible) confirmed by the HSGA Senate Committee and NYS DFS, the IRS both updated its rule to preclude e.g. hiding Free File programs for search engine, and removed the rule which prevented them from competing.

Sadly the IRS has been hamstrung time and again by the GOP, both financially and politically. They can't even do their core jobs of collecting tax and auditing the taxpayers they need to, so it's unlikely they'll have the clout and funds to set up a free filing program any time soon, let alone one properly integrated with their likely antiquated and in dire need of updates computer systems.
Um. You can do this in HTML/CSS too.
Exactly same for me.

I am looking with wolf's eyes at the M1 and A14X performance. Desperately want it... in my Android phone, where I can install Firefox with uBlock Origin, and in my Windows laptop, that has a touchscreen and has no problems connecting external displays.
Anything with lots of host volume mount traffic sucks badly, inotify/watch, sequential reads, random reads, writes. It's all horribly slow.

Sometimes it takes seconds (10) for docker commands to start to run, which is super slow compared to a linux host.
Haha I just read your comment, totally forgot about it, then tried to do the same thing and it happened to me too. Firefox.
Here is more information on them from Sharyl Attkisson, an expert in analyzing media bias,

“This started, and I traced this in my second book, ‘The Smear,’ to Media Matters … the left-wing propaganda group that supported Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and is a big smear organization,” Attkisson says. “They acknowledged going to Facebook about the time when they were worried that Donald Trump was going to get elected.

They really felt that the only thing giving him a leg up, and they still believe this today, is his social media outreach. They tried to think of a way to control, with the kind of social media and news people could get, so Media Matters lobbied Facebook and tried to convince them — and did so successfully — to taking a fact-checking brand-new role that nobody had ever asked for.

We're not begging for our information to be curated. That was a pretend demand created by the propagandists who wanted to control the information. They had to make us think that we needed a third party to step in and tell us what to think and sort through the information … The fake news effort, the fact-checking, which is usually fake fact-checking, meaning it's not a genuine effort, is a propaganda effort …

We’ve seen it explode as we come into the 2020 election, for much the same reason, whereby, the social media companies, third parties, academic institutions and NewsGuard … they insert themselves. But of course, they're all backed by certain money and special interests. They're no more in a position to fact-check than an ordinary person walking on the street …

They have interests. They make sure certain things are not seen, even if true. And I think this is the most serious threat that I'm looking at right now to our media environment.

I'm afraid that our kids will be telling their kids of a time when you used to be able to go on the internet and find most, any, information you wanted, because we are increasingly being pointed only to that which they, people who control the information, wish for us to see.”
