The whole free speech argument is tired. I think people selectively draw from it and draw lines in it when it suits them. The point being, that as long as people don't acknowledge that private entities play more of a role today in free speech than they did in the past, it's not worth arguing. You'll need to wait until both sides have been affected by this perspective for it to become taboo.

A couple things I've been learning more recently in order to have more productive political discussions:

- Set goals for political discussion. If it's just to learn, then you don't need to debate. If you're going to debate, set ground rules so cross-political friendships are not lost. (This has been more important to me, but there's certainly people who put their political leanings on their dating profile.)

- Don't make points about bad faith actors or that collectively acknowledge their existence. The left has them, the right has them, we've likely all been affected by them, but the majority of each party are just normal people championing their favorite political football team.

- Citing morals is pretty low brow. Morals differ in different geographies due to a myriad of influences. Topics that center around this are an impossible hill to climb.

- Don't state your party affiliation (or lack thereof). I learned in 2016 that being anything other than Republican or Democrat invites reductive conversation, or put more directly it invites people to 'other' you which changes the trajectory of the conversation.

- Always assume good faith. Most people don't act in bad faith, yet in political discussions it's easy to reach for that branch. People I've assumed this about I've usually discovered lived a very different life from me, so their perspectives and worldviews align to things that don't make sense at all.

Yeah, little known fact. The Tesla Model 3 Performance and the Model 3 LR AWD have the exact same batteries and motors. There's literally nothing stopping Tesla from offering an even higher performance boost for LR AWD owners to grant the same 0-60 as the Performance model, but they don't because it would cannibalize Performance sales.

I live in a city with high rents. What would it look like if everybody had a shot at fulfilling their economic dreams? Let's say their dream is to live in the center of the city, in one of those flats that now cost 2 million dollars.

So society is obliged to give everybody a shot at that 2 million dollar flat, no matter what their line of work or their qualifications are. How is that supposed to work?

Some things still are limited and will probably always be limited, unless everybody can live in virtual reality in their ideal world.

1. There are several tools that offer only the planning features. Our view is that budgets and actuals should be on the same system for the product to provide value over time. We may offer a free version with just the planning features in the future, but I built Pry for myself and I wouldn't like to use it that way.

2. Agreed. Documentation is one of those - if they complain, we'll improve it kind of things. And we've certainly heard some complaints about it here today.

Much interesting analysis, but some strange mistakes as well. When NYC's Second Avenue was first proposed it was concluded that such a project was possible but would be far too complex and expensive to be reasonable. Over the next hundred years the Second Avenue Subway in NYC would be repeatedly proposed, analyzed, and then rejected as too complex and expensive to make sense. Finally the work went ahead and as usual this analysis claims that this was just another infrastructure project and that despite one hundred years of analysis revealing the extreme complexity and cost this paper claims that the work could have been done cheaply with cut and cover construction despite a hundred years of analysis rejecting the possibility of cheap and easy construction of the Second Avenue subway. Rejecting so much history seems like an awkward way of going about this analysis.
Hi. I run my production 7 figure ARR SaaS platform on google hosted k8s. I spend under 10 minutes a week on kubernetes. Basically give it an hour every few months. Otherwise it is just a super awesome super stable way for me to run a bunch of bin-packed docker images. I think it’s saved me tons of time and money over lambda or ECS.

It’s not F500 scale, but it’s over 100 CPU scale. Confident I have a ton of room to scale this.

> So you cant swap out horses for humans as they analogy is completely flawed.

You kind of can though. The economy cares about no one, it cares only about capital. And as far as capital is concerned, humans are just fancy horses. Humans are expenses that need minimizing to the point of zeroing. In a perfectly efficient capitalist economy, no one pays any humans for anything ever.

To me, the value proposition is still tabs. I have hundreds open at a time. Once or twice a month I will cleanup hundreds of windows and tabs. I've created habits to open up most everything in new tabs and new "projects" in new windows.

I think I do this as a self-remedy for my ADHD, I am likely to allow an interruption to disrupt me but I do need to close the loop on whatever I was working on before an interruption. A window or set of open tabs is enough of a reminder to help me close the loop.
> May be it's true that there is mRNA instability, but the efficacy data says the Moderna vaccine works extremely well

The efficacy data was based on clinical trial batches though, and the challenge seemed to be with lower manufacturing quality in the large scale commercial batches : "changes were made in their processes to ensure that the integrity was improved and brought in line with what was seen for clinical trial batches."

To be honest, we do also have real world data now (Israel mainly) that confirms the benefit/risk balance to be extremely good.

Thank you for your clarification.

I like to think about a single migration being a function and a migration history multiple functions being composed.

Category theory's main subject (I think) is composition and a lot of good ideas can be taken from there (see this paper: "Functorial Data Migration"[1]).

There is an obvious relationship between a schema and the data, and a migration operates on both. The schema might be versioned, but unless you use a Schema-less database (ie: MongoDB) and handle the data versioning application side, your data is not.

Any document/graph-based database can avoid this problem by assigning a version to your documents (like apiVersion+kind in Kubernetes), then the application should know how to process each version of the data.

In an SQL database, it would require different tables which complexify the data model.

IMHO, in every case, you need to handle some of the logic application side or maintain an history of your data (bye-bye storage space?).

Sadly, OpenStreetMap is weakest in POI coverage.

In typical area Google has simply much better data - and that is before interface optimised for selling ads about POIs and therefore displaying POIs quite well.

I map a lot in OSM, and POIs in my city are still light years behind Gmaps. And even with StreetComplete (an Android app that I recommend) that made adding and resurveying opening hours data easier, this info is often missing/outdated :/
So common are absurd freeway interchanges in Texas that we have a local term for them: mixmaster. If you search Google for that term you get results for the only interchanges Wikipedia knows of in Texas, both in Dallas. One of those is the only 5 level interchange I can find on Google:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Five_Interchange

Ironically, though, the largest freeway interchange in the DFW area, actually 3 almost conjoined separate interchanges occupying a tremendous land area, is only 3 levels near the DFW airport north entrance. At the widest the freeway there is 7 lanes each way, plus 2 lanes of toll each way in the center for a total of 17 to 18 lanes of traffic. Yes, it still gets gridlock. You can see it here:

> If you tell people they will get $12k no matter how hard they work, they won’t work.

This is obviously not true, since in every capitalist society, the hardest working people already make the least amount of money, and the laziest people employed already get given the most amount of money.

Capitalism has already proven that financial incentive has no correlation to how hard someone works.

Do you realize that Firebug was the successor to the Venkman debugger and the original DOM Inspector for Mozilla/Netscape?

<https://web.archive.org/web/20051223164847/https://www.mozil...>

<https://web.archive.org/web/20050206185242/http://www.mozill...>

(Joe Hewitt created DOM Inspector and checked it in to CVS while working at Netscape. Robert Ginda had separately created Venkman. Firebug used the XPCOM interfaces that had been created to allow for Venkman's debugging capabilities, but IMO was always inferior to the much more powerful Venkman, even if Firebug was slightly prettier to look at. PS: shame on Mozilla for breaking those links. Do you even know how to Web?)

> Firebug came out AFTER IEDevToolbar

I'm not sure that even if you focus purely on Firebug and ignore DOM Inspector and Venkman that this is even true. Do you have a source for that?
It's interesting that this is kind of a constant .1x * 10x = 1 cycle we repeatedly go through with new platforms. We rarely realize the cost of a new development platform in the fact that we often have to start from zero with documentation, tools, communities, etc. Tools are arguably the easiest to realize on day 1, when all of a sudden you can't set a breakpoint. So it's really .1x development in many ways until someone reimplements these standard utilities to "10x" us back to 1.

The article on the Deskthority wiki probably explains it best: https://deskthority.net/wiki/60%25

It's essentially a keyboard lacking function keys, a numerical pad, and a navigation cluster. Usually has between 61 and 68 keys, and contains an extra "function" key that acts beyond the typical Fn key to help you control layers. Every 60% doesn't have layers, but most do, and those layers are generally programmable. These days pretty much all of them use QMK or VIA firmware.

The Deskthority article for some reason mentions the Minila which is actually a 65% keyboard (which is a 60% + arrow keys).

Long covid:

> Estimates of the number of people with long COVID vary widely. In July, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that one in five patients 18–34 years of age without chronic medical conditions and with a positive outpatient test had not fully recovered by 2–3 weeks after testing, and a research center in Rome found that 87% of 143 patients reported persistence of at least one symptom 60 days after onset of the disease. According to a preprint published in October that has not yet undergone peer review, 24% of 233 patients still had symptoms at 90 days after infection. Data from a smartphone app, as reported by the COVID Symptom Study, showed that one in ten patients with COVID-19 have symptoms after 3 weeks. Given the scale of the pandemic, if even only a small percentage of the tens of millions of infected people worldwide develop long COVID, a staggeringly large number of people would need long-term follow-up and treatment.

Because on Ethereum, they could connect/be integrated with other projects. As most dapps are on Ethereum and the network effect is probably the most important factor in crypto, this will continue to be the case.

Therefore it's highly unlikely that CryptoTask will ever have integrations with existing or potential new Dapps.

This might not be relevant right now, but it certainly will be in the future.
I think the main point of the comment was asking why they decided against it. At one point the wording mildly suggests the possibility that no one at github has thought about it:

> I would love to know if something like this has been considered and why the decided against it.

... but that still sounds more like a grammatical hedge than an actual suggestion that github didn't think it through.

imo it's fair to lay out why you're surprised about some decision in the hopes that someone will enlighten you, even if it can be tricky to phrase that without coming off like a "why didn't you just..." comment.

No idea why you got downvoted. The fact that the first implementation of the actor system is most certainly going to be on top of libdispatch makes it a very interesting property. Libdispatch is really not known for being able to spawn thousands of "light thread". And so there is indeed a potential pitfall in making asynchronous + concurrent code easier.

However, after having read a lot of the swift proposal relative to concurrency, i am still unsure if the end result of production code is going to be lots of actors running in parallel, or just lots of async calls multiplexed on a few OS threads.

> The language should provide all the necessary abstractions to create an isolated context. Actors can then "just" be a default abstraction provided by the standard library.

A stated goal is static, compile time, prevention of concurrency error. You can't do that with a concurrency library unless you restrict yourself to purely deterministic code.
