That people use something and maybe even extract some business value from doing so doesn't necessarily mean the product or the ideas around it are great and cannot be improved upon in various substantial ways. People used to ride horses and cows, people used slaves for manual work instead of inventing and using the steam engine at scale much earlier e.g. in ancient Greece or Rome.

I don't mind rich text and I know a bit of typography to avoid some common mistakes but I don't think most users really appreciate a full scale of sizes in pixels for a font or other information not relevant to the content they are producing. Most would be much better of using normal, small, large, very large for presentation or posters or something like that. The absolute values could be set in settings or overwritten somewhere maybe but Word isn't actually meant for designing websites or posters. It does all of those things to some degree but it very much isn't the right tool for the job in those areas and shouldn't be treated like one.

Btw. nobody can tell, if the businesses wouldn't be better of using something more robust than Excel even when that would mean actually training people to use a different tool. Most companies probably never train Excel, so even using that is very certainly inefficient. You know, there isn't much business value in Excel macros with viruses in them or macros nobody understands - so maybe what they calculate isn't even correct in some or all cases.

Excel is great for some things, but for many things it is used in practise it is actually quite bad. E.g. some people write working hours in Excel. There are much better apps just for that. You could have Google or Microsoft Forms, that are much easier and more robust. The data can then be used as well in a spreadsheet or imported into a DB. Unfortunately, Word and Excel (and Outlook) have developed their own gravity field in many industries and so the (very low) local maxima cannot be escaped (somewhat easily).

Having a government use anything as a stamp of approval does it a bit of disservice. If we would rely on current governments for innovation, we could just as well return to the caves directly.
More seriously, if by collaboration you mean sending people word documents by email named final-assessment-v2-final.doc (because docx hasn't really arrived in many places and people suck at useable version control) then I am with you. Everyone else (including you probably) just writes the text into the email directly or uses something actually collaborative (for example Google Docs). The real final version is produced, after a consensus has been reached using more efficient communication channels.

The state of affairs is the market for pretty much everything currently is in a bubble. The US governments debt is more than twice the total amount of gold mined during the whole of human history (https://www.gold.org/about-gold/gold-supply/gold-mining/how-...) if a tonne of gold is roughly worth 60 Mio. USD. We haven't improved the working efficiency since the end of 90s much if you are frank. I wouldn't be so sure the market is a good measure of a products absolute quality actually.
All true but do you have any practical solution to dealing with incompetent micro-managing middle managers when you don’t have the power to fire them?
This isn’t true. Only half of school funding comes from local taxes. The rest comes from federal and state taxes, and levels out the local funding. You can see this clearly in the breakdown of school funding in Maryland: https://conduitstreet.mdcounties.org/2017/10/04/chart-shows-...

I'd like to see cold storage providers split from app providers.

Strict enforcement policy on cold storage data warehouses. And sensible policy for the app providers, like not caching PII.

Implement and enforce at the fed level using this division in a manner that is something akin to Glass-Steagall.

Owning data should not be something providers can ever exploit.

The way it actually works in the US is that half the money comes from local taxes, and the other half from the state: https://conduitstreet.mdcounties.org/2017/10/04/chart-shows-.... The state money is used to even out the local funding, with poor districts getting a lot more state funding.

It doesn't seem like that long ago, Apple would aggressively test, release when releases were ready rather than on a rapid set schedule, and would occasionally issue bugfix-only releases. Apple is far from alone in this, but I really wish we could go back to "No new features!" as a mantra for an occasional release - maybe a tick-tock release schedule? - and reinvest in software quality.
That's pretty much exactly the definitions of ProtonDB (a community site btw). The problem is that users don't seem to get that.
I agree that the problem is systemic but it's a bit more complicated than this - the reason why such a high percentage of the students are failing is likely because the parents of the students that wouldn't fail have disproportionately opted out of this school, whether by moving or through charter/private schools, which makes things even more difficult for the school administrators and the teachers.

The real systemic issue is that nearly ever competent and rational actor is incentivized to run away from the problem. This applies to parents, teachers and administrators. No one's life gets better by taking this problem head on and making things incrementally better, so the only people who are left to deal with the problem are the ones who don't realize how bad things are, don't care or don't have the means to move away.
My experience with Clojurescript has been the opposite. React, on which most idiomatic CLJS is based (Om, Reagent), is such a moving target that Clojurescript is now years behind the curve. There was a lot of initial momentum under David Nolen's stewardship but that seems to have faded. React now has hooks and form but Reagent is basically the same as when it first appeared.

> Yes, you shouldn't be a bad neighbor, but the OS will generally move things around to accommodate you as necessary.

I'm not sure what you mean with that. The OS will not "move things around" to the point where the resource abuse wont be noticeable, all it can do is swap stuff to the disk, perhaps compress some RAM and maybe unload any cold code (though code doesn't that that much RAM) and all that take time, slowing down the system.

> RAM is an afterthought for most of these applications for a reason.

Yes and that reason is disinterest from the application developers for RAM usage.

> This attitude is like buying a sports car and never redlining it.

Sports cars have nothing to do with this, i do not see the relevance.
Could also go up just a bit more, say 180k of a little more range and add a + to take care of anything over that. So the end of the range would be $180k+.

Your memory is faulty, then. States extended to 99 weeks during the 08-09 recession.

I don't know enough to dispute the doctrine/dogma points you've brought up.

All I know is if someone asks me to use a different term when referring to them, I usually oblige out of respect. That goes for transgender people that want me to use different pronouns/names, religious people that want me to use different terms, etc. If someone says "please don't refer to people of my tribe as 'Native Americans', we prefer the term 'Cherokees', I'm not going to start debating them and be like "well, your leaders last decade wanted 'Native American' so I refuse to call you what you currently prefer". Intentionally ignoring a request like that is incredibly disrespectful and rude, in my opinion.

As I've pilosophized about many-worlds there is one thing I've recently come to believe is that there is a slight issue with his answer 7: We as people don't exist in a single world. Rather we have a certain non-zero "width" if you will in "probability-space". This would mean that "the fire" is already a little bit distributed based on what we can observe.

This follows from heisenberg uncertainty. If a world is an assignment of a position to every particle, it cannot also assign them momentum: If you see position as fundamental then momentum is a phenomenon that exists "between-worlds" rather than inside them. And conversely if you see momentum as fundamental than position exists "between-worlds". When such fundemental things cannot exist in a single world, than I doubt that we can either.

This take was always problematic in my view. It's the reason that I had years of inherited servers with a proxy sitting in front of exchange that consistently broke things everywhere it was done. In practice, this exploit is just another in the line of exchange issues that would get forwarded directly through a proxy to the backend unchallenged. Meanwhile the only place I've heard of pushback against applying this patch, is the "but we have a proxy we're secure" crowd.

Maybe then we would have an equal number of single fathers raising kids as single mothers.

You mean the industries, that are liable for most of the initial suffering during the 1930s, 2000s and so on? A case could be made that some of it lead more or less directly to wars.

Accounting and finance should know much, much better to use something actually auditable. Pretty much all software in any way associated with those industries that I have seen is at best average by enterprise software quality standards but most is barely useable. In that sense, Excel is probably the better choice. :-)
There may be some rare exceptions like woolen blankets and such made in low batches by artisanal folks.

* It wasn't a teacher that said that, it was the creator of Common Core. Please, take the time to see the link in my first post.

* I didn't say education was a zero sum game, I said that forcing this pedagogical style was harming successful students.

* I don't even know how to address your arguments because you're inserting claims I did not make. Again you're saying I intrinsically view common core as a zero sum strategy? When I just want students to be able to learn in the method they understand, whether that is Common Core, or not.

These are straw man arguments, you are the one who is not addressing my points. So yes, you are trolling, currently. And I call it out when I see it.

Using react-static here. Has some issues and not always free of regressions, but also not as bloated as say Gatsby.

If you write React components in a way that leaves them functioning when statically rendered, I think it is relatively straightforward to roll your own generator that calls React’s built-in renderToString() on top-level app component during HTML generation, and bundles basic JS that does hydrate() in case user agent happens to have JS enabled (those two methods do a lot of the heavy-lifting). Devil’s in the details, of course, but have been low-key looking into that lately.

> Coursera - taught by some of the world's best professors on cutting edge topics.

I would say the distribution is way wider. Yes, there are top courses by top universities but those are sadly a minority. There are lots upon lots of mediocre courses either by big or small universities and the worst offenders the programs created by vendors (Google, IBM, etc) which are nothing but a barely disguised way to push their platforms. Going directly to the university site and you will find the real deal, last term course which usually will be significantly better.
> You’re correct that a “dysfunctional society” failed this kid. But society that’s missing here is the society of people who are supposed to keep an eye on this kid. That social infrastructure has been destroyed—for a variety of reasons, from mass incarceration to social normalization of single parenthood. There is no replacement for this society. A federal bureaucracy with standards and metrics can’t fix this problem, because it doesn’t operate at that level.

Very, very well-said, particularly as your example articulates how one of the most fundamental elements of society -- the immediate community -- should work. This loss of society as community (as opposed to society as formalized bureaucracy), affects everyone in myriad ways that I'm sure we fail to appreciate. Unfortunately, the effects are disproportionately felt by the less privileged: a wealthier parent would simply have sent her son to a better school.

If by "applying digital force", do you mean attacking other countries?

If so, does the same apply when the US destroys computer systems in other countries? If your country is attacked by the US what force are they reasonably allowed to use as a counter attack?

You ruin one or more nuclear weapons facilities; they get to destroy a few nuclear installations of several types in the US?

The US is not sitting around being the innocent victim.
The US is engaged in offensive attacks on regular basis.

(At the same time the US is engaged in massive real world war as well. Unike most of its counterparts. Oh "military conflicts" not war. Unless you are the country at the receiving end of "military conflict" in which case you will have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out why it is not war.
