I bought Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign CS2 a long time ago. Still use it since it's mostly for hobby and very occasional freelance. There's a tiny bit of jank running it on Windows 10, but otherwise it starts quickly and runs perfectly. The only thing I'd change if I could is to have a 64 bit version. This one chokes occasionally on very large files. But I don't deal with those enough to invest in the subscription.
It is ironic that he Talks about the widening digital divide while the W3C has continually ceded to the demands of copyright maximalists demanding ever increasing and costly DRM be put in "standards" which in turns makes free and open source solutions that can not comply with things like EME less favorable.

They write that any GPU workload scores similar to the intel internal graphic[1].

For the total scores, they're intentionally using an old beta of the benchmark as it includes an older CPU workload that the M1 happens to excel at.

Seems a little like they're cherry picking results. Interesting, but a little dishonest.

I haven't watched the video yet. But does she address the BoE paper? https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/working-paper/2015/the-impac...
I've not time to watch a video now, but I would say that your second point isn't universally accepted - https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/th...

"Empirical research on the labour market effects of immigration in the UK suggests that immigration has relatively small effects on average wages, with negative effects on low-paid workers and positive effects on high-paid workers."

I'm going to presume that page is well sourced as it's associated with Oxford University.

I don't disagree that many of the reasons people voted for Brexit were things that could have been addressed by the UK government in various ways. But they weren't, and Brussels Buck-passing was practically a parliamentary sport. Perhaps that can end now.

> All of the parties apart from the SNP promised a referendum in their manifesto. The Green party and the Liberal Democrats had it in theirs for about a decade.

Not all the parties did. Labour, for example, also didn't. The Greens have always been fiercely pro choice so a referendum falls within their remit and LibDems have often flip flopped around the issue of Europe depending on what seems the most popular alt-vote at the time. Then you have the right wing parties who are naturally nationalistic. But many of the left-wing nationals (like SNP) were pro-Europe.

This is all moot though because my point wasn't who supported the EU but rather the Tories motives for the referendum.

> The referendum was advisory, so it would have been possible for parliament to vote not to enact article 50. But parliament voted for it.

Indeed. But that is another tangential point too. I do have opinions as to why it wasn't treated as an "advisory" vote but those are just opinions so I'll refrain from clouding the debate.

Manure isn't a problem if you free range your animals, have landscape structures to prevent runoff and have other animals that eat bugs in the same space such as chickens. Then it just contributes fertility to the land.

Children working their family farm are learning real skills. Learning how to produce food is vastly more important than american history or most of the literature they would learn in school.

Industrial farming is stupid, and totally unnecessary. Using permaculture and silvopasture, you can produce much more (and more nutritious) food in the same space, while improving (rather than destroying) fertility. If done right, you don't need pesticides, your animals don't need antibiotics or dewormers, and the whole thing mostly runs itself aside from a little pruning/herding and a lot of picking. The only downside to these methods is they take some time to get going, and they require knowledgeable farm workers rather than dirt cheap migrant laborers or a combine.
They definitely do, but I think they are easier to spot. The problem with bigger publications it that they have overarching biases blended throughout, subtle ads and so on, rather than individual authors being overly opinionated. In the substack model, you probably know about the author's biases when you sign up.

Mostly inertia. The 14-gauge Romex in your walls is big enough for DC LED lighting as long as your lights are on separate circuits from your wall outlets and the voltage is around 24VDC or more. And we need lighting power supplies that can change 24VDC to constant current, but those are simpler than the 120VAC-to-constant current supplies in light bulbs now.

For power outlets you probably need at least 12 gauge wire and 48VDC. And we need a new standard DC smart outlet that can negotiate with the load and locally buck the voltage down to whatever the load needs.

All this is easier with new construction than with retrofitting of course. Then it's a chicken/egg problem: We need lights and appliances built for this infrastructure but we need the infrastructure before anybody will build devices for it. The solution is to build bridge devices that can replace wall warts that negotiate with smart outlets. Lights are trickier: Someone's going to have to build "raw" LED "bulbs" that assume the power supply will be added elsewhere.

I've already started retrofitting my table lamps but the rest will be harder.
There's a similar effect with the initials D R, M R or M S.

In Britain, including a dot after abbreviations is a bit dated — it's UK, USA, NASA, JG Smith Motors Ltd, Mr Jones etc. (American usage seems mixed; I sometimes see "USA" and "U.K." in the same sentence.)

That means "Dr Jones", "DR JONES" and "D R JONES" are particularly easy to confuse.

One of the characteristics of Flow State is

> A loss of reflective self-consciousness

Developers who spend all their time in flow state are not thinking about other people. Worse still, in many cases their emotional attachment to the code they wrote in Flow can be very high, leading to defensiveness and rationalization.

Really any time you write a module someone will take issue with how you did it, so it can be a little difficult to discern if “you do it too”. If you can make most of your decisions outside of Flow, this seems to go a bit better in this respect.

If you get stuck, leave your desk, snap out of it. Think. Which is another way of saying that if you’re going to rely on Flow then you’d better figure out how to drop in and out of it more or less at will.

I agree with a carbon tax in general but it misses the point when it comes to crypto. When it comes to domestic travel you can tax airlines directly; for manufacture it’s harder but you can in theory tax at the border. For cryptos, which were designed to subvert government control, there is no way to tax them since mining can just move to somewhere with less environmental controls.
The statement is not untrue but it is selectively used here to imply that it only applies to one party. And that is wrong.
> it's best to pre-allocate your memory and then hand out bits as needed through a custom allocator working on the pre-allocated set.

Yes. For linked lists this would typically mean creating a pool of objects to be allocated from the pool and returned to the pool as needed for operating the linked list.
"if you were doing it on a household scale, you'd have to worry about magnetic fields in the house significantly shifting"

You mean every time gets switched on or off? (or changes in device energy demand)

But with AC the magnetic field changes constantly all the time. That sounds not better. Or is it, that the constant change is pretty much constant, so the effective influence on other devices is lower?
If it’s about releasing information on schedule that’s verifiably created with a datetime stamp and maybe also by user, then it’s not really about predictions, it’s more than that. It could be used for any info, and then verification is available for the who and when.

The thing though that would make this worthwhile would be if it were decentralized, because you want universal verification and independence of some third-party breaking if its like a contract. While they could act as a law office or official records office that keeps the contract, deed, or certificate on-file, I’d not keep the only copy of something important with a startup that could go out of business and has no requirement to keep my data or secure its future, so I’d hope there’s something for that.

It's nice to read an article that actually summarizes the entire story first, at the top, in a few short and enjoyable paragraphs, before getting into the depth of the story.

So many articles today don't do this and to sit down and read one feels like the commitment of starting a novel. You have no idea where the story is going and the writer has put themselves on a pedestal, probably wishing they were writing a novel instead. The sentences and paragraphs begin with a lot of atmosphere and little actual narrative.

Journalism is not regular prose, and I wish more journalists would do what is being done in this piece, something that used to be a lot more common in the industry.
Which has certainly been put forward in many cases as an example of double standards that are pervasive in medicine, and of how much cultural norms influence recommended choice of treatment.

Other such double standards are the severe hurdles one must go through to obtain puberty blockers, for their theoretical, possible adverse effects and the supposed idea that a child cannot give informed consent, ignoring that letting one's puberty progress naturally is also something one consents to, yet, children are given a variety of medicaments whose destructive, structural side effects are far less theoretical and far more severe every day to alleviate mental conditions that are fare less severe, and have a far lower risk of suicide than gender dysphoria.

The readiness by which specialists are willing to resort to various surgeries and treatments seems to have a very big cultural moral component to it, and is not purely determined by what is best for the patient by an objective measure.

This is not the same problem AFAIU. You don't know whether your tests encode the correct specification either, but you must run them first to find out whether they pass, but with (dependent) types you can have the sorted list property encoded in compile time, but still can't be sure whether it is correct.
The idea that they don't also tow the line IS absurd and I would never claim that.

Nonetheless you can measure each country's contribution to the Iraq War as a rough proxy for how much they supplicate. The UK contributed by far the most of the three while Canada's involvement was minimal.
On the balance, Singapore is much more free in the economical sphere than the UK, so if the UK did copy ALL of its policies, it would become more much economically competitive and see more rapid economic development.

As for exploitation of workers, Singapore has seen massively more wage growth than the UK over the last 50 years, so I don't equate a free labor market with exploitation.

I will add that there are important ways in which the UK is more conducive in the long run to a free market and free society than Singapore, but at least in the short run, Singapore's simulation of a free market economy has been offering more practical liberty and working better at raising living standards.

Ideally, the UK would maintain its pluralistic and democratic core, while adopting Singapore's economic policies.
Resilio Sync. It's like a cloud but over p2p, so there are no size limits. You need both devices to be online at the same time (not necessarily connectable, their servers can handle that). It's free, pretty easy to set up and just works. It does encryption by default, but if you want a layer of extra security on top, just put your data in a Veracrypt container and send that instead.

The intro looks great I will definitely check this out.
Reasoning like this is why the world is insane. These comparisons are not equals. There is no bargain or great deal, there is only euphoria from people who figured out a new way to shake the money tree. And "shaking the money tree" is a deep an understanding as many of these NFT grifters go. This is a signal, and that signal is increasing levels of fraud. Laypeople "share the fact" that the environmental expense of these NFT are what legitimize them, which is a bastardization of the concept to the degree they can't see the difference between the correct distinction and the pop culture watered down vague description.
It looks like the nft scene on ethereum is starting to migrate to tezos, because gas is cheap there and it is PoS since the beginning. I wonder how that would influece the ethereum commmunity.

In-house DC could easily be limited to 48V which is not dangerous. Efficient DC buck converters could be built for pennies inside each outlet and negotiate with the load to provide the right DC voltage.
Indeed, targetting a specific industry seems like too focussed and approach that won't actually solve much.

Especially when you have e.g. the aluminium smelting industry that uses around 10x more energy*. Arguably more useful, but the externalities of using unclean energy for that process, and all other unclean energy consuming industries, should still be priced in.

If cryptocurrency miners want to use that energy, they can knock themselves out, but they should at least be strongly economically incentivised to do it in a CO2-minimizing way.

* (15,000 kWh per tonne) * (63.2 million tonnes annually) = around 948 TWh

Justify content and Align items operate on the Main axis and the Cross axis respectively. By default this would be the horizontal and vertical. Because of the flexibility of the layout system you can tell it to distribute the main axis vertically instead (flex-direction: column) which would make the cross access horizontal. There is a consistent logic to this which affords a lot of power when creating layouts.

My take is that we're still adapting to and experimenting with how to live with the internet, given how it fundamentally changes so much and the transition is still very much ongoing.

Every revolutionary technology probably generated similar amounts of hysteria about the end of civilization - think about the printing press, industrialization (luddites), TVs, etc.

Eventually things should find a happy equilibrium, it just doesn't happen immediately. But it's assuming too much to think no solution today = no solution forever.

They're the same racists on the left and the right extremes.

It's just, we had decades of wars and (justified) propaganda that thoroughly discredited fascism and their style of racism so it's easy to see how the right extremes is bad.

What the extreme left is doing on the other hand is a more modern variation of racism and totalitarianism. It's ostensibly driven by noble concepts like social justice but in reality devolves into racial discrimination, dogmatism and tribalism as is seen on far right, just with a different dogma and different racial preferences.

Maybe you find that particular dogma more agreeable, or maybe the ends justify the means for you, I dunno.

But if you genuinely look at the discussion on Twitter or Reddit and you don't see extreme left views upvoted as often as extreme right I don't really know what to tell you. I guess people on the far right don't recognize their own crowd as an extreme either, it's just normal and common sense to them too, dismissing any rough edges with the same excuses.

You want specific examples? Try being public about not fully supporting BLM. Not the literal slogan itself, but parts of everything else the movement and their leaders come with. See if anyone catches the nuance of your opinions as you're branded a racist for not falling in line. You don't even need to say anything racist, even a modicum of doubt in the dogma is seen as dogwhistling your obviously racist views.

Do you see a lot of sexism or racial slurs / offenses in what you personally read on the internet? I don't, but the parts that I frequent what I see are mostly leftist racism and sexism, blaming white people for what other white people did, generalizing straight white men as privileged, "sounds about white"... No, none of that rings a bell, or none of that sounds bad or important because <reasons>? Try switching white to black and see how that holds up. Feeling righteous and having noble reasons for racism and sexism doesn't make it right. That's how all racism is justified and never in history has it been the right way to go about treating people.
That's not a problem unique to crypto, it's true of all manufacturing. And honestly I think the solution is to declare war (whether via sanctions, violence, or some other means) on regions that are refusing to be responsible with the global ecosystem.

I think it's a mistake to single out crypto as a unique actor in this growing issue, and that we should look for solutions that will generalize across all industries. Because all industries are contributing to the modern ecological crisis.

And I'll add, crypto does not care if energy becomes more scarce. What crypto cares about is that energy is equally scarce for attackers and defenders. If, due to regulation of production, the cost of energy goes up, crypto will use proportionally less energy and keep chugging away quite happily.
