This article basically boils down to "scientists suck, the government sucks, truck drivers have everything figured out". Pretty much the opposite of what you are suggesting. There's a layer of humility which obfuscates this a little.
It’s so strange and depressing that American society glorifies violence and villainizes sex.

I don't think the issue is "powerful enough". I think it's that something is hard to do cleanly in the language. For instance, you could view monads for sequence and IO as "design patterns" in Haskell, because it's hard to do those things in Haskell in a straightforward manner. This is just the nature of the language. It's not that Haskell isn't "powerful enough".
Agreed. British shows have characters that look like what people outside of LA look like.
> graphically intensive applications in VMs was sluggish

Just as a datapoint youtube or vlc seem to work well enough. The sluggishness is definitely noticeable though. As a developer it encourages me to optimize the display performance of my web applications. If it performs ok on Qubes it's liquid smooth on my 3+ year old android phone. Take that as you will...

> internet/firewall/audio would randomly stop working when restarting VMs

I started with 4.X and I haven't noticed this. I never actually used 3.X so I can't say if it's something that was fixed or never present on my hw.

> provides a functional but very tightly-knit product that cannot be easily modified to suit your own needs.

This is a fair assessment. But I've come to realize I need the isolation Qubes provides more than I thought I would. No advanced threats or anything. Just the ability to put email, chat, password manager, and work in separate reproducible environments is really cool. Clicking a url on a chat won't open in the browser I'm signed into google or in my work browser. If you have the need for gpg or tor they offer solutions with a high degree of isolation, though I haven't looked into them much.
inaccessible?

That's a strong word. Just because something is not digitized doesn't mean it's not there. Have you talked to a reference librarian? Material in archives may be inaccessible because of legal stipulations or just simply unindexed, or writings are known to exist only in manuscript - but "not online" or "in off-site storage" doesn't qualify.
So???

How well/badly dd it work?

I thought the graphics were brilliant. Reminded me of playing Battle Chess on 4-color CGA.
The math is more dismal than that. With a 1.5 birth rate (common in Europe) the population drops by more than half in three generations (about 100 years). This causes the economy to collapse—stock valuations have baked in assumptions of future generations of consumers existing. But it can get worse. South Korea has a fertility rate below 1 and Taiwan is headed that way. At that rate, the population drops by almost 90% within a century.
The barrel is part of the casing, necessary for a sustained reaction.
I'm 1200 rating on chess.com and I lost the first game and won the second, the estimated rating of 1225 I've seen on other comments felt about accurate to me as well
We discussed this, but I decided it was not worth the effort for something that relies on temporary Dev accounts that are limited in functionality (no PSD2 endpoints work) and that require you lying about the purpose of such account. I don't find that ethical at all. And, again, no PSD2 endpoints.
I was wondering how it would handle if two people were editing the same file on two different computers.
Was really glad to see 9/11 mentioned in the article in relation to the American male body entering its militaristic phase. It validates an armchair theory I've had related to the correlation between media coverage / dramatization of Special Forces operations in the early to mid 00's and the general trend of American dudes getting very ripped and growing beards.

At some point around 2005-2008, I just started noticing every guy around me was lifting weights like they were going to raid a tunnel system in Afghanistan, and if you could grow a decent beard, you did. And then the ripped look was kinda table stakes. Everyone had to mirror that alpha male SEAL physique and eventually people forgot why, and it became a self reinforcing cycle for the next 10-15 years.

The article makes a great point about the softer bodies of sex symbols in the 80s and 90s. That's rare to see now.

It is definitely still a thing of course, just look at start up people. Everyone in a leadership position is bulging out of their clothes.

It is time for you to re-read Men, then, and pay closer attention.

MK-ULTRA is the umbrella for the disinformation campaign. But almost everything we think we know about it is what they published themselves. There is no evidence it was ever terminated. Jon Ronson reported evidence he found that it was still on.
From my read of FTA, being able to raise money in a direct listing is a new capability:

> A company can also sell its shares in the open market to raise capital following a direct listing without restrictions, typically after it has reported quarterly earnings. Some companies opting for direct listings also choose to raise money before they go public through private fundraising rounds.

(i.e. direct listing was restricted to only shares held by not-the-company)

> The NYSE now offers companies the option to raise money in a direct listing after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved it in December.
At least in my field (applied machine learning/optics) and my partner's field (cognitive neuroscience) pre-prints are a massive deal. Not only do they allow you to get your work out earlier, google scholar will typically link your pre-print to the published article eventually so anyone who doesn't have a subscription can get a PDF no problem. This probably nullifies the negative effects of not having access to the publisher's library.

It's to the point now I'd say that all of the grad students and younger PIs insist on posting a pre-print. Pretty great trend especially considering with LaTeX the preprint ends up looking just as good as the published version anyways....
I find the War on Terror explanation a little far fetched.

Yes, that was a bit much. The Cold War produced a much more serious fitness boom, especially during the Kennedy Administration.[1] It also produced an education boom. Today, 71% of young Americans are ineligible to serve in the military.[2] Too fat, too dumb, too criminal, or too drugged. There seems to be little concern about this at political levels.

Thank you for your psychoanalysis of me. Just what I was looking for.
There's something I expected the author to say that never came: in order to have sex, first you must choose how to have sex. If a movie has a sex scene, it expresses an opinion about sex: how to have sex, why to have sex, when to have sex, and what kind of person would have sex like that. But opinions are dangerous: people might get mad at you if you have an opinion, but nobody can get mad at you if you don't.

I didn't mean so much that he's a person who tried and didn't get a part on a Vancouver-produced TV show, but that his video production efforts are part of the whole general Vancouver and Toronto "hollywood north" industry scene of people who act, do camera work, set decoration, costume, cinematography, sound, rigging, grips, etc.

What is freedom of association, isn't that different from freedom of speech?

>I also dont like the power that massive corporations have over our lives, but the solution isnt some absurd regulation, its to break them up

I think you're probably right about that. Maybe another option could be to create a publicly funded, rather than corporate advertising funded, "town square" social media platform as a viable alternative, where all lawful speech could be voiced and protected?

Scrum is a ridiculous waste of time today due to non-software savvy (as in aren't afraid of code) folks polluting project manager, product owner, product manager, and software manager positions.

Tickets come flying in, blockers get turned into a mountain from a mole hill, planning meetings are multi-hour time wasters, retrospectives cover the same things, and everybody is just nice to each other rather than raising their concerns. Deadlines are a fallacy, other than giving substance to these ritual meetings.

Globals like a and b are fields of the singleton, not instance of singleton(s). The global space is the singleton (or a juxtaposition of singletons, if we let aside the lack of visibility protection), and global variables and functions are the fields (members) and the methods of the singleton.

> The public had infinite access to the sexual equivalent of gourmet food

If you think porn is "gourmet", you've not watched enough of it. Porn is the McDonalds of sex: repetitive, predictable, largely "safe" (with minimal care, you won't see what you don't want to see), and purposedly all-encompassing but still largely detached from the real thing.

I'm an unabashed porn consumer and I have to tell you, I yearn for anything resembling the sexual chemistry you get in good movies of old. Two people flirting and exchanging double-entendres is a billion times sexier than 99% of mainstream porn.

Not really, you believe it yourself. You don't put up much resistance, it's just kind of "this is convenient, therefore it must be the truth, and these pesky contradicting facts probably have some other good explanation".

You can look at it that way, I suppose, though I consider it to be a fairly odd perspective. But it doesn't help at all with the problem of enforcing that there be only one ThingThereCanBeOnlyOneOf. Therefore globals are not a true solution to the problem that singletons are trying to solve.
I don't think this is true as an unqualified statement. But I think it is true that many/most people who are making technical decisions without the proper technical understanding behave. The technical experts in all of the organizations involved were doing the right thing, raising alarms and recommending against flying the Shuttle under risky conditions. But the managers over them were not listening or overruling them, because the managers did not understand the actual impact of the technical decisions they were making until after the disaster occurred.

I'm in currently in the valley of death phase of startup life working on a tiny piece of the climate problem, but when the day comes that I'm in a position to hire teams I want them to be able to look me in the eye and oppose me when I'm going off the ethics track. How we got here to needing the climate problem fixed was people making their peace with consequences of their actions, and it's not going to be solved by doubling down on that approach.
Completely off-topic:

I'm actually doing something similar -- watching all of Midsomer Murders. I absolutely love the way John Nettles' Barnaby (haven't seen any with the new actor) is righteous and upstanding without becoming preachy. In particular S01E03 where his partner's homophobia is shut down. The fact that most of the horrible people are high-brow also has a nice feel to it -- very Columbo-esque.
I wonder if the lack of concern is because of the future of autonomous warfare. There's drones of course, but also tech that enables things like aircraft carriers to run with much fewer crew.

I'm betting that national healthcare will cause a fitness boom. We'll start seeing each other's poor health as tax money, and there will be more stigma for being overweight.

One of the last television series I watched was The Practice, which not only was notable for having both attractive, average, and ugly cast members, but it is actually a realistic plot point that sometimes comes up with envy between them.

But yes, European media in general is less focused on physical æsthetic perfection than I find U.S.A, Japanese, Korean, and Indian media to be; I often find a similar result in German, Swedish and Dutch television series that characters seem to look considerably more average.
Eh, kinda. Luther? Sherlock? Global sex-symbol superstars right there. The same forces at play in Hollywood are at work in London, it's just that the best-looking ones move out to California as well.
So “dumb political pseudo-witticism used exclusively by idiots” is the new threshold for censorship? We are apparently much further down the slippery slope of the post-1/6 Great Deplatforming than I had realized. And how many other instances of subtle Big Tech censorship has nobody caught yet?
I completely reject the idea of “the best programming language”. It’s just a tool for a specific job. That’s all there is to it.

It’s not going to solve every problem and it never will.
I wonder if the answer isn't more mundane, money. Parents today seem to have no problem with their children seeing a movie where people are eviscerated on screen but won't let their kids see movies with sex in them. I found it funny that "Bridgerton", and "Game of Thrones" both produced with more sex, have been quite popular.
Personally think the article is quite shallow. But I think the only regret one should have is having never tried.
I would partially agree, although I don't know many implementations.

It's a state that cannot be naturally duplicated, alright, a "single source of truth". But lazy instantiation is nothing more than a very important and very common second. The pattern itself lies in preventing public-level instantiation (i.e. in Java it could translate to a class with a private constructor, private instantiation and access to the instance through a class-level/static getter, and also making it a final class).

I haven't read the details of the proposal, but I'll compare it to my ideal situation. I'm in the US so my view is influenced that way. I loathe that my Social Security number and/or signature is the key to my identity. I think every individual should be able to choose how they are "identified". If you choose to be identified by the government system, fine. If you choose to be identified by Equifax, fine. If I choose to be identified by a gpg private/public key pair, I should also have that right.

Telstra did a similar thing here in Australia - there are some old regulations that let them install payphones pretty much wherever they want which was probably good back in the day when payphones were essential, however they started installing new "payphones" in prominent advertising locations where the whole back of the phone was a massive advertising display.
