There are interesting ideas here. Personally, I find the War on Terror explanation a little far fetched. I think a more likely possibility is that movies started specializing.

In the decades before the Internet, cinema was one place where the average person who didn't buy dirty magazines could glimpse more skin than in everyday life. Then the Internet came along. Suddenly pornography was in everyone's home. Soon it was in everyone's pocket. Sexual desire became something you could very easily take care of, to your exact specifications, in private.

The one-size-fits-all portrayals in movies became gauche by comparison. And unnecessary. The public had infinite access to the sexual equivalent of gourmet food, so it suddenly seemed old-fashioned for the cinema to keep peddling stale bread.

Probably this also contributed to the me-too movement and the surrounding fallout over the sexualization of women in spaces where sexuality was now seen as being inappropriate. For example, the controversy over grid girls in racing.

A populace thoroughly satiated in private can afford to be puritanical in public.
Agreement. The article gives a good introduction and methodology - but doesn't say what the experiment showed. Is there any conclusion? Should I stop my network at 50 nodes? What were the propagation delays? Might a star-based topology make more sense?
>This one project literally took my art mark from a failing grade to 85%

Was this a university course? Unless you're a fine arts major I can't imagine any teacher being such an asshole that they grade an art class based on artistic ability. Usually its just a matter of participation and putting effort into the assignments.

99% of folks here don’t deal with life and death matters. When you do, you get a lot of practice at canceling, which helps. There’s also the fact that you can say, “if you do this, people will die,” which is a pretty bright line when you’ve got something to back it up. I actually found it more difficult to take a stand in less consequential fields. But it’s still very, very hard to look someone more powerful in the eye and tell them no. I’ve had to do it and it’s not fun. (Nothing on the scale of a Shuttle launch. I once had to effectively revoke a judge’s flying privileges, for instance.)

McDonald is on a whole other level though. That’s not just your employer, that’s the entire space program. I hope I never have to find out whether I’m made of the same stuff he was.

Sebastian and Linus Media Group seem to be pretty frank and open about a lot of this: see for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzRGBAUz5mA&list=PL8mG-RkN2u... on putting up gurning thumbnails and navigating the YT algorithm (and that whole playlist, including a revenue breakdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t73wXF8IF-8&list=PL8mG-RkN2u... ), the Gamers Nexus video on LTT's production process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdOBFu-mYpw and the coverage LTT regularly lavishes on its own production setup and process, from a nearly-12m video about the awkwardness of ingesting video from their new 12K cameras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pocfGBQZUSI to seemingly quite genuine fly-on-the-wall coverage of temporarily losing their data to a RAID failure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSrnXgAmK8k . Obviously you always have to take anyone's self-presentation with a grain of salt. But they're certainly not hiding the fact that there's a more grounded reality behind the "on" personas.

I like strongly opinionated formatter/linters like black for Python, but I'm not fond of bogus justifications:

> Single-quotes don’t support interpolation but aren’t any more performant, so mixing single & double quoted strings adds a bit of cognitive overhead with zero discernible benefit

“I can express things that would be interpreted as interpolation in a double-quoted string without escaping” is a discernable benefit.

“I can use literal double-quotes without escaping” is also a discernable benefit.

(Incidentally, this is a case where the justification also makes it unclear whether they've misdescribed the piece they are justifying: the say it requires string literals to be double-quoted but the justification refers only to single- and double-quoted strings. So, does it only ban single-quoted strings, or does it also ban Ruby’s other 6 forms of literals that resolve to strings?)
But the economic theory doesn't even agree with subsidies. It's only a populist belief that they work. China's economy boomed from free trade with the US

I feel like if the average person knew just how right you are, not just about Boeing but about almost every major company, there would be unending riots across the U.S. Management pretty much across the board only care and understand one thing: money.

Interesting they call different services over loopback.

I've built sensible monoliths using in-process services - you call them just by a function call. This requires keeping your business logic out of the webapp layer and in a "service" layer, but it's a wonderful way to decompose functionality and make nice monoliths that still have separation of concerns.
My level of cynicism at this point is so high that I'd assume we'd be forced to add narratives to papers until they resemble the five-thousand word life story you find tacked on to a recipe to escape the "just a list" issue. [And breathe]

Although, full agreement if that doesn't become a problem or you have a solution for it already prepared :)

I dunno, it’s his and Brady’s to do with as they wish. There’s a financial penalty to letting it lay fallow, but that’s their choice to make.

They stopped it right when the pandemic hit. That messed up podcast advertising for a while, and also the usual stuff they talked about.

Meanwhile they both have other projects and may have decided their time or energy was better spent elsewhere. Who knows?

A little unusual not to say anything but hey, they end episodes without goodbye so not a giant surprise. And Brady has said they’re on a break and on good terms so it isn’t totally secret either.

I enjoyed it while it was around and wish them well, but I don’t think they owe us anything. I subbed to Goodbye Internet to give a small incentive to them restarting, and that’s it.

But to my larger point, it is still an asset. If the community atrophies 40% while they’re gone...it’s still 60% of a great asset.

If you're compressing an intensity curve on a spectrum to three samples (RGB), you're always going to lose information, regardless of what your original sensor was capable of.

Basically someone is throwing balls with floating point numbers at you and you have to sort them into three buckets and a trash bin, then you only report the number of balls in each bucket.

For all I know that photographic technique doesn't even capture any part of the spectrum that falls within the RGB area.

I don't know much about these photographic techniques and their terminology, so I had trouble looking information up, but it appears that the technique captures blue and ultraviolet.
After the last election cycle in the US I’d be interested to know which platform was used to spread the most misinformation. That was very damaging.
Schlock Mercenary does a great job handling the nature of consciousness boundaries and death in a post-Singularity world (technologically speaking - digital minds retain their own personalities in this story), as well as some of the ethical concerns.

It really takes off in the book "A Little Immortality":

but the core ideas leading to that book go back much further in the comic's archives.
Move and fast and break things makes perfect sense when you're making a dog walking app and need to win time to market.

There's not really anything unethical about moving fast and accepting the risk that comes with that for most of the things people are building here.

Substituting "we" for the company name would probably not help at all. The text simply is too personal. This is particularly bad for a company whose goal is likely to provide value with absolute minimal friction—the potential user is primarily looking for something to improve their lives and wants to know what can be done for them. I urge you to highlight all the occurrences of "we" in the text and see how many phrases are meaningful in that regard, and for the ones that are, how most can be simplified by being rewritten as impersonal.

I see Dale Carnegie getting a lot of flak these days but this is one point he illustrates incredibly well in his most famous book in my opinion.

My experience was that you couldn't take a random C# project and run it on Mono and expect it to work. I don't want to diminish the technical effort that went into Mono, but it would be misleading to say that open-source C# worked without further qualifications.

Conspicuous consumption: fast-food architecture
I don't quite buy this reasoning. With a car charger, you indeed need to hold a fairly beefy contact in position so it mates with its counterpart. But in a car charger, there's no functional difference between the cable end and the car end -- sure, one is handheld and one is fixed to the car, but both ends need to secure their respective contacts.

With the gun-type bomb, suppose the final critical assembly has a 2"-diameter "male" part in a 3"-diameter formerly hollow ball. If the 2"-diameter "male" part were in a 3"-diameter barrel then, indeed, some mechanism would be needed to stabilize it. But I see no fundamental reason that the barrel needs to be 3" in diameter -- couldn't the "male" part just as easily be a projectile in a narrower barrel?

(I made up the 2" and 3" numbers.)
Of course there is a reason, it feels good.
> I hate this requirement (and other similar ones). They force the crystallisation of architecture long before the concepts they model have them selves had time to fully crystallise

I'm not a fan of single-class-per-file as a rigid rule, but it's not my effect that it has any effect on architecture. Adding a file with a new class isn't substantially greater overhead than adding a class in an existing file, and moving stuff between smaller files is, if anything, easier than moving it around within a single monster file.

That's precisely what I mean. It's specialization in mass market genre entertainment.

Action films are more purely about action; fantasy films are more purely about fantasy. There's no need to mix in sexual titillation anymore.

Separation of concerns.
I can recall that certain channels have (or at least had) exclusive content on Nebula, but it indeed appears to be worth while considering I am paying more for spotify and netflix.

It's interesting, but pretty easily explained, right? Disney. What if you excise their canon from all the points made? I don't know the answer to that, honestly I don't watch movies. I'd be willing to bet their demographic capture strategy weighed children more highly than adults. That's easy memorabilia sales, tickets, dvd's, subscriptions, indoctrination, which will later yield nostalgia. And if you remove child-oriented or family films, the latter of which may even contain sexually suggestive content, from my recent movie/tv experiences there's still a lot of sex. I suppose if you weigh popularity there's an argument to be made. But does sex sell movies when you can watch an infinity of hardcore pornography with not only full blown nudity, but any variety of fantasy?

The really strange part, which seemed to me to be largely overlooked, is the ratio of violence to sex. The US in particular seems possessed by an interesting duality. One being that depictions of extreme violence are fine, but full frontal nudity is somehow verboten. And then another interesting point, the magnitude of which I'm not wholly aware of, is that we're almost certainly the porn capitol. Not in production alone, but in consumption as well, but I'm speculating on the basis of anecdotes.

What does it mean?
Its a sign of how messed our society is that we can depict torture but not a naked person.
Could you explain a bit more how you got out of that? Was it just introspection or did you do other things? Asking for a friend.
In that case, the spectrum was used as a replacement for the cable, in a 2 point system.

A mesh network is a completely different beast, with perhaps hundreds of thousands of nodes, spread around, and a good chuck of bandwidth being used for forwarding data between nodes.
If you think that's what the many worlds interpretation is, then you have a very different idea of what "simplest possibility" means than I do.
> C or C++, where memory layout is inverted relative to something like Fortran (which seemed to get this right from the 1960s) when you consider most cache lines on most processors.

How do you mean? As I understand it, the only difference in these languages in this regard is in 2D arrays, where in C, the current row is in the current cache line and in FORTRAN the current column is in the current cache line. It seems to me you are if anything slightly more likely to want to do several operations on the current row, so the C way is better. What am I missing?
That's a silly interpretation of my point. Sure, log into work resources - including your work email - with your work computer. Email token auth works fine for your work context.

If you're mixing work resources and personal email (or vice-versa), you have a problem. You should never hand off control of your intimate personal life to the security (or lack thereof) of your employer. And vice versa; your employer should not trust putting their intellectual property on questionably secured personal computing devices.
This was a fun read, especially as someone who grew up with those 80s and 90s movies.

That said, and as the author touches on, the action/super hero of today is a PG-13 one. Studios need to reach the widest audience possible to make the most money, so it's a safer bet.

Sure, back in the day studios had the same imperative, but the licensed toy game was still young, so they didn't realise that maybe if they made Die Hard PG instead of R they could sell some John McClane action figures to younger viewiers.

Nowadays, that's basically the starting point; what we can we sell outside of the movie? how can we milk the franchise for as much as possible?

And that's where a lot of the sex appeal is lost. Marvel movies can't be as raunchy as a result.

Another topic that the author touched on was the way the ideal aesthetic has changed in not just our bodies but where we live or what we do in our spare time.

I agree that more and more we are optimising for artifice; fitness classes, extra curricular activities, holidays, concerts and events we attend, just to keep up an appearance online or in person. And in those activities we often don't get the true value out of them because we're doing them for the wrong reason.

Anyway, it's a complex and interesting topic and I'd love to read more about this perhaps from even further back (50s or 60s) if anyone has something similar to this post?
I've never been faced with a decision so grave as McDonald, but I've done my best over the years and I'm content. There are lots of opportunities to move the needle ethically that don't require sacrifice at all. At least one time the organization actually changed — credit due to the people who listened with open ears.

(Throwaway account because making a difference doesn't necessarily mean making a public show.)
And honestly, the sex scenes in (some) movies just felt contrived or forced.
Right, but that's why the article is telling donors not to restrict their donations, as opposed to telling charities to prohibit restricted donations.

I like the idea of building in a percent cut taken out of the resell price and given to the venue/artist. It taxes scalpers and allows artists to benefit from secondary markets if they mispriced their initial offering. Its also easy to do in a contract

LTT fan here. Just a couple words of warning about using LTT as a source of serious tech information.

He had something along the lines of a “best laptops for typing” video without mentioning the Thinkpad.

He continuously promoted Razer laptops without mentioning that they had an internal 50% failure rate of their own Razer laptops. (Thanks for keeping it real during a WAN Show, Luke.)

I still watch LTT as entertainment for some reason, but come on Linus. I have major respect for your biz acumen, but you can do better for your audience.

Partially due to his recommendations, I once recommended a Razer to an exec above me, he eventually had to do a credit card charge back after it started to bend all on its own. Not a good look. Lesson learned.
Live your life and turn off the bullshit. Otherwise, wait for it to burn out. Social media is a bubble, and the milk that helps create the metoo froth.

We’ll sacrifice bad guys to the volcano gods for awhile, then the bubble will pop, the trend will fade and women (in the media) will be thirsting for men who aren’t wusses.
Years ago for a laugh I tried to stop the rotating aluminum disk in my power meter from rotating by holding a powerful ex-magnetron magnet near the one in the meter.

It made not one iota of difference to the disk's rotation speed as the poles of the meter's magnet are so close to the disk that there was no way to alter the strength of the magnetic field that was at right angles on to the disk.

Electricity utilities have been in the game a long time, they already know all the tricks and design their systems accordingly.

>Millennials and Zoomers were less sexually active than the generation before them.

The violence like street fights is also down. The way of progress. Civilization naturally tames the primary instincts by directly dampening them (observed decrease of testosterone) while simultaneously providing ample channels for redirection and sublimation.
Maybe there are just too many games around to compare, and so no consensus forms about which the best ones are?
