I guess this is a problem only in USA. In Europe, the education is inexpensive enough with government funding and some effort from the child(which eventually pays back). Holiday vacations are usually for the whole family or organized by the school so this is planned expense. And in my opinion most of the expensive "toys" are usually not good for the child, like giving a sever year old an iPad/iPhone. I prefer to go with toys that spark creativity which usually are less expensive. That is not to say I would not buy expensive toys, however I believe that they should be given as rewards for memorable achievements or and to teach them what investment is. However I do admit that during the first five years the expenses for a child are huge, because most things have very short utilization lifespan - strollers, clothes, furniture, toys etc.

Instead of shared money with personal allowances, which works in constricting manner, we have shared goals approach to which we contribute whenever and however we can, which works in contributing manner. And we try to keep our budget aligned with our forecast for the goal or we reevaluate the forecast in case of unforeseen circumstances like the COVID pandemic. Of course we don't hit all of our targets but with time we get better at evaluating. Also any unspent money from a missed goal start as base for another goal.
I think this article gives really specific information on what the accusations from Facebook are really about.

Here are some meaningful quotes:

> Most critically at stake for Facebook is what’s known as view-through conversions. This metric is used by ad-tech companies to measure how many users saw an ad, did not immediately click on it, but later made a purchase related to that ad.

> Losing that type of measurement could be a big blow for Facebook. If advertisers are unable to accurately measure the effectiveness of their Facebook and Instagram ads, they may feel compelled to shift more of their budgets to other apps and services where they can see the exact return on investment for their ads

> Asked if the IDFA change will actually impact small businesses as Facebook claims it will, the former employees gave mixed answers.

> If you’re a small coffee shop in Austin, Texas, for example, you may not need too much data to target your ads, said Henry Love, a former employee on Facebook’s small business team. A business like that typically limits its targeting to fairly broad categories -- for instance, an age range and a distance range from a specific zip code would let them target ads to Facebook users in their proximity. That’s the type of data Facebook would be able to collect from its own apps, without needing IDFA to track a user’s activity elsewhere on their Apple devices.
I can get half way to agreement with this abstract.

One concrete example of algorithms run amok is music. Autotune and gridding externalize human creativity and crush it. Yes.

But deciding that algorithms and the Western culture that begat them, as such, are the problem seems a tad bit peevish.

One wonders at the direction of any of this thinking. It seems incapable of any positive outcome. The desire for 'positive' outcomes, itself, seems likely to come under attack for emoploying the English language, the Roman alphabet, and daring to insinuate there is anything amiss with what my strange new overl(ord)s are dictating.

I lived and worked in the centre of Edinburgh for a long time so have quite a few confused tourist stories but the oddest was someone who jumped from their hire car and asked through sign language whether Dean Bridge (which they had just crossed) was the bridge marked on his map as the Forth Road Bridge.

For anyone who doesn't know the area those two bridges are rather different in pretty much every respect:

Damn, autocorrect.
It changed "ate" to "are" in above sentence. It even autocorrects the same thing (wrongly, again) after you edit its previous wrongly autocorrected word. Gets it wrong more often than not. Even converts my right spellings into wrong ones. Started after recent update. Disabled it now.

In my opinion if the lockdown has helped keeping the death ratio per 100000 person at around 1 as was the case for e.g. New Zeeland (if I recall correctly), then it's worth it - from the value of human life point of view. Then there are economic/capitalist point of views for which I don't care. Especially if the lockdown could save some loved ones. But this is just an opinion.

I noticed London there's a sign at the exit of the suburban "Abbey Road" station in London, directing tourists (who were presumably looking for an iconic pedestrian crossing photo opportunity) back towards London. I wonder how many of these suburban neighbourhoods exist, with unexpected tourism due to transit stations sharing a name with a local landmark.
I was referring to Body integrity dysphoria (BID), which does seem to be related to Somatoparaphrenia. Let’s not get into semantics about which is a “dysphoria” and which is a “delusion”. My point stands: neither of those is treated by amputation, except in exceedingly rare circumstances.

> Transitioning does not produce such impairments, and in fact leads to a significantly improved quality of life, reduction or complete remission of depression, and overwhelmingly thus produces a better overall mental health in most cases.

> And again, I’m speaking from _experience_ on that.

I’d argue that your personal experience is irrelevant, precisely because there’s no way to establish that it’s not delusional. Could you even tell the difference between a genuine improvement of the underlying condition, and simply feeding someone’s delusions to the point where we’ve changed both them (physically), and society (to make them feel less disparaged)?

Amputation often makes individuals with BID feel better too, yet it is extremely controversial, even among experts.

My belief that the only difference is politics has not yet been shaken.

Edit: since it seems like I’m unable to reply further, let me just add this. No, I don’t believe the above poster is delusional, I’m asking whether there is a way to even establish such a thing, and if not, where the ethical difference vis a vis treatment for BID lies. Again, the poster completely sidestepped these questions.

I dont see how that is argument for anything. The bigger net would change it to 40 or something. The complain is not about how many goals happen, but about how the game plays.

Also, I am still not talking about "reserve team". I am talking about hobbyists who want to have some fun while exercising and socializing, who maybe used to play in some team as kids but dropped out never being close to be stars.

Some adults don't just watch sports, they do actively play them.
Totally agree with this.

For me, editing is like using a musical instrument; you want to get to the point where you're not using much conscious thought to do things quickly. How you do that doesn't really mater to much.

Many years ago (10 maybe?) I switched to the Colemak layout to help with an RSI. That messes up the vi home row navigation keys.

For a while I tried remapping jkl but since that's not very portable to other vi-like software on my own machine.

I gave up and just used muscle memory for new locations of those keys. That works surprisingly well for me.

I like Vim but I'm pretty sure that a competent emacs user would have very similar relationship with its keyboard interface.
Amazon doesn't write and publish books and there's no technical issue in others distributing them so - no monopoly other than the quasi-monopoly established by people choosing to use Amazon as against other book sellers. Similar arguments apply in the transient opinion distribution industry currently dominated by Facebook and Twitter. These company's powers are entirely in the hands of their users who have a choice and should remember that today's market will likely look quite different within a few decades if not sooner.

If you want a book-seller who doesn’t censor your buying options, don’t go to Amazon. Plenty of other sources.

> You would in fact be wrong, as therapy is absolutely a part of the comprehensive standard of care recommended by WPATH, and is required by practically every surgeon willing to perform any transgender related surgery.

Only in regards for informing and making ready for the effects of surgery, not talk therapy to alleviate symptoms.

> You’re quite close to recognizing the crucial distinction: gender dysphoria is a grouping of symptoms related to a gender incongruence, and thus itself is realistically just a poor evaluation of the condition of transgender individuals’ reality — of course they experience dysphoria, gender incongruence can do that.

Actually a very large number of gender identity incongruents does not experience gender dysphoria.

It is obviously hard to find any certain numbers on this, since those that do not tend to remain more silent, but a big research on the matter in the Netherlands by Kuyper in 2006[1] concluded that as little as 30% of those with gender incongurence experienced gender dysphoria.

> So we treat the problem, not a symptom. We realized that homosexuality wasn’t a mental illness because their suffering was a byproduct of society’s view of their innate sexuality, and reasonably removed the diagnosis. Likewise this will happen (and is happening) with gender dysphoria.

That is quite a strange line of thought.

Gender dysphoria is not caused by social stigma, but by a physical mismatch of the body and would exist regardless of social stigma so long as the body not be made to conform to the mind's mental image.

> Amazon Inc probably does not own the copyright to the books they don't want to distribute.

The idea that not owning the copyright on a work obligates you to offer it for sale is as bizarre as the idea that the same obligates you to purchase it would be. (In fact, the former implies the latter.)
Why allow hiding predictions? That means I can make a bunch of predictions and only reveal the ones that were right.
That's the same argument Emacs developers use to justify alt (sorry, "meta") + w as copy. But it's a terrible argument.

More recently, in 2008 an Earl's daughter tried to book a taxi to take her from the family estate in Northamptonshire to Stamford Bridge (the stadium in London which is home to Chelsea FC).

Instead, the taxi took her to Stamford Bridge (the village in Yorkshire which was the site of a famous battle in 1066).
I disagree. It's easy to use and particularly easy to bind to other languages because it has a very simple and straightforward API. I'm using it in Go and it's fantastic, as long as your project is fine with its limitations. For most things you only need to take a look at the cheat sheet and you're done.

At least for the standard Backblaze service you can download for free. For a USB drive you float the cost of the drive (they reimburse you when you return it)--maybe you pay shipping?
Unrelated to the article, but perhaps an interesting fact: as a Java programmer you perhaps know that using the class java.util.LinkedList is almost always worse in than using plain arrays or ArrayList. Even though there are much less allocations, the overhead for maintaining the linked list data structures is immense. And it turns out that computers are pretty fast at allocating memory.

But there more optimized implementations of linked lists of course (probably using arrays as well internally (?)).
Your local government would at least attempt to spend that money on useful things.

ICANN and the registries are just bigger drug dealers, they too will use that money to do more bad.
I'm in Slovakia. I think problem with watching hockey in TV is not only about quality of players, but also production of the broadcasting. Here NHL shines and it is big difference. When I was on live match, it was quite watchable (even Slovak league ;), but in TV it lacks the action that is provided by good broadcast production - a lot of cameras, cuts, etc.

Also around here it is quite uncommon for goalies to fight, but especially goalies coming from Canada tended to "payback" in some brawls around crease with blocker and paid dearly for it, as they had to leave the crease during important play-off game afterwards.

I realize it's probably just paranoia on my part but I am terrified of UPSs and can't bring myself to have one in my house. Gigantic batteries lying around in a flammable environment seems way too scary. My always-on server is read-only about 99% of the time, so I just put up with the outages when they happen (about 2 a year). If for some reason my OS eventually gets hosed because of this, I'll rebuild it.

Maybe one day if have a basement and some kind of concrete compartment to put the battery in I'll feel a bit better about it... but even then, not much you can do about gas leakage if that's a possibility with more recent UPSs.

> Customers want features, and they want it unrolled as fast as possible.

I am going to reiterate: There is a whole lot of time _before_ your first customer.

Now I agree with you, on my last job we had no CICD, no tests and no procedures when I joined and it is _hell_ to release anything. Writing tests and doing the infra candy improved our velocity, even though technically we were doing more work. But this was _with_ customers. If you don't have customers, they don't care about the features.
My experience is extremely relevant, as transgender individuals are an extremely small portion of the population (1/300th of the population) and those reported experiences are key to building viable info sets required to better improve treatment strategies. And I can say definitively, transitioning has significantly improved the quality of my life. Minus having to deal with conversations like this where I’m forced to defend my position to a stranger who is convinced I’m delusional (and while I’m not required to, it is unacceptable to see this position go uncontested and therefore I am compelled to refute it), my daily life has gone from extreme depression and social isolation to being a social butterfly and exceedingly positive. At this point, most people who have met me in person have done so after transition, and so it’s not something people know unless I tell them.

Note the figure above. 1 in 300 (while small) can be a lot more people in your life than you think, but if you are the type to share opinions like that in public rather than solely in pseudonymity, they know better than to mention it to you.
I don't remember where the precise quote or where it's from, but it's some documentary about design and is goes something like: "Why do uncomfortable chairs still exist?"
The back to back infinity-focussed objective set up works nicely with 2 sets of cheap infinity microscope objectives 2x or 4x back to back in a thorlabs tube. Paired lenses cancel out a lot of aberrations (but not all of them). I use this setup regularly for fairly close up, highly planar projective work. For 'low magnifications' say 2:1 and up the Edmunds 2X, 0.15 NA, Ultra Compact Objective has decent price/performance, but this is for sensors in the 1/1.8 - 1" range. If you come up with a nice, planar, cheapish 1:1 design for large sensors, drop me a line. (Disclaimer - not an optics person, but peered into the fascinating rabbit hole)

As a counterweight to the other opinions here, I'll just say that I think these chairs, particularly when grouped together, are immensely beautiful. I understand they are not intended as chairs one sits in for eight hours a day, but as lightweight, easy-to-make occasional furniture. There are other examples of Judd's furniture, mostly the desks[1] and tables[2], that are more 'practical' in the traditional sense, and which could even be described as approachable and warm.

I actually made a copy of his library bed[3] out of plywood last year, and intend to make some of these chairs (and maybe one of the desks) when I have some time this summer. I believe this is what the furniture was intended for: easy DIY replication, minimum of fuss with the maximum aesthetic impact. Easy to understand if one is familiar with Judd's work as an artist/sculptor, which is obviously the biggest influence on his furniture. You could also look to Gerrit Rietveld, Enzo Mari, and Shaker furniture as background for Judd's designs. I'd recommend reading his 1993 essay "It's Hard To Find A Good Lamp" [4] and seeking out a PDF of his (very rare) 'Furniture Retrospective' book[5], which places this work in its proper context. As he says in that essay, "Conventions are not worth reacting to one way or another."

As an aside, it is frustrating to read (over and over again) that one could only like this work, and work like it, out of some cooler-than-thou pretence. This is a very common bad faith response to art and design that does not (and does not seek to) conform to traditional expectations. As someone whose tastes run very much in a modernist direction, I find the assertion that "since it's so ugly, it must be avant-garde so I'll pretend to like it" ungenerous and shallow. Is it that difficult to accept that there are other ways of looking at the world, other traditions and other intentions? I'm not saying it's all good (when was it ever?), but the assumption of bad faith in those who respond to it is wrong.

The big problem is that our modern legal code is so convoluted that people regularly accidentally commit crimes[0][1] but aren't aware of it, leaving a big gap for inconsistent enforcement (mostly against those who dare challenge authority or the authorities are biased against). There's reasonable evidence that the FBI or rogue agents within the FBI tried blackmailing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. into committing suicide.[2] J. Edgar Hoover was collecting a stash of blackmail information on politicians.

I'm very unlikely speak up enough to become a target, but the next Dr. King, the next Snowden, the opponents of the next Trump or next J. Edgar Hoover are going to have big problems if privacy continues on its present course.

Privacy isn't currently a big problem for the average citizen in our society, but it's very important fat-tail event insurance to have in the future. By the time you realize you need to worry about privacy, it's probably already too late. History has shown liberal democracies are at best metastable (all governments tending toward authoritarianism if not actively maintained) and whistleblowers are an important stabilizing force.

Broaden your view. You are not put on earth to write great code, but to solve real world problems. Software development is a means to an end, not the end itself.

Why do some people use spaces when writing Table Driven Tests with Go? It makes it harder to run go test -run=TestName because you have to convert manually all " " to "_" and back.
