I think you have to read a lot of books to understand what they mean. And i don't think this woke crowd is right btw.

If you're writing fantasy or fiction in anothertime book, be my guest and write about any character (although if it is supposed to be based on history and you're completely off about the culture at the time, i don't want to read your junk, really). If you're writing about a character in modern time, either you do some really good research, or you'll be off, and if your book/movie is bad, the woke crowd will drop on you. I mean, even if "The Wire" or "Treme" was ran today, nobody would drop on it.

And i will take another example for people in the US. Books about the so-called "white trash"/"trailer trash" or who depict people in this population are mostly wrong. Sometime its hilarious, sometime you just stop reading because the book is so bad. For me it was books about Appalachians hillbillies. Since its the american crowd i know the most, i was quite exited to read about them. I've found on good book, one. The rest is complete trash. Honestly if my grandfather or any of his friends found those books, those would burn.

I'm curious, are there any countries that just nationalize debit cards? I understand the value-add of these companies for credit cards, but I'm not familiar with the industry.

Couldn't the US Government just give everyone a Treasury Debit Card or equivalent? This is totally out of my domain but I've always been curious about this.

Thanks. Developer metrics are really going into a negative direction and I want to see if I can't change this. We really need to drill into people that it takes work to generate meaningful insights.
Well, do you have evidence to support your claim that penetration is <0.1%? My impression is that it's simply not true now that most (if not all) of the FAANGs have many developers using it.
I'd argue it's the opposite. We've relied too much on trust and promises and not enough on rigor and exactness. Most people aren't given facts, constraints and limitations until it's too late, if ever. What they're given are viewpoints with selective evidence and glaring omissions. It's remained a unsolved since the beginning of humanity. A solution to this problem is a rigorous self-proving system that wouldn't need one to convince another of the facts.

OP is wrong. While there’s a new version of the API after few months, they support older versions for 18 months. They have versioning.
Your error is in assuming the public has any meaningful say in government outcomes.
Your point is good but I think the reality is just really mundane: the government could put out its own text streams and multi-publish them to different platforms, but it’s just not there yet. There’s no fire under anyone’s ass to get it done, if it’s even occurred to anyone in a position to do something about it in the past uh... 14 years?

However I would be fully on board with Twitter banning world leaders and IP blocking their capitals including the entire city of Washington. They won’t, that’s a value destroying proposition, but a man can dream.
Here's where it gets tricky. I do a lot of modeling and simulation work that is often incorporated in interactive 3D environments and the conversation I have over and over where people fail to realize is that you're always taking shortcuts to simulate some aspect of reality.

The point of games is to get as close to reality that people suspend disbelief and can immerse themselves into the virtual reality you've created. Sometimes enough realism and immersion can be had at cheaper computational costs so these hacks (gross simplifications) are the way to go. Sometimes though, you realize if you can better model aspects of reality more accurately, you can get even better immersion a d suspension of disbelief.

In the world where more sophisticated computational models are utilized in these environments because the results are important, used beyond suspension of disbelief and actually need to map reality because the simulation is trying to accurately represent some aspect of reality for a real world decision to be made, you still have to take clever computational shortcuts. As far as we know that will always be true unless you build a simulation environment that can fully represent our reality which might never be possible from an engineering or even scientific standpoint.

So the discussion I often have is: what deviations from reality are we willing to tuck into our models and simulations? We already can't do all of existing science and we can't do what's beyond existing science so what tradeoffs can we accept in the subset of science for our simulation.

Even raytracing doesn't go far enough because it takes a lot of shortcuts with reality. Pretty much none of these engines take into account relativistic distortions of light (some work has been done) and they frankly don't need to for almost every application outside of visualizing gravitational lensing and black holes accurately. In sure some bright physicist reading this is aware of even more faults in light and photon models and simulation approaches I'm completely unaware of. The onion peels quite far. The most obvious missing aspect for all environments is that we always simplify the actual geometry of the space because we have to.
Yes. But I'd go further. All holders of US political office at all levels should be unable to restrict any conference or interview in which they take part to any single interviewer or news agency, so they cannot control who asks the questions or who airs the event.

For several decades, US Presidents have been able to avoid hard questions by cherry picking interviewers or networks in order to "massage their message". That isn't news and it shirks their responsibility to answer hard questions. Tweets are just the next step in the evolution of accountability avoidance.

We did away with royal proclamations long ago for damned good reason: you must answer to the people.

Yeah, don’t worry too much about the suicidal depressed guy, just open up an easy legal route to painless suicide with a ‚rationality’ flavor for him so that he can „ ‚decide‘ to end his suffering“. And tell all his friends (half of them depressed too) that ‚this is just a rational decision for a depressed person to make’. Don’t worry too much about implications, that’s just „unrealistic perfectionism“. Just put up your very confident face.

The US' influence over the anglosphere is irrelevant to the topic we are discussing.

"Muslim countries are ok with Muslims being genocided."

I didn't make such a claim. I'm talking about the incentives created for how leaders of Muslim countries vote at the UN in order to protect their own country's economic welfare and perhaps their own political careers as well.

So what I'm getting at is you can't take as evidence the way these Muslim countries present themselves to the world insofar as this particular geopolitical question is concerned because the incentives likely force them into the pro-CCP position irrespective of what the truth is. Expensive moral righteousness is only easy if you're rich.
I've been in a few British houses where the bathrooms had carpets. We even rented one as students.

I can assure you it was the grossest thing ever, and clearly an idea of someone who doesn't pee while standing. But apparently in 80/90s Britain it was still considered "cozy"
Yes, Ubuntu/Debian are very conservative with their updates. Especially if you're on an LTS release, so you're unlikely to have something break from an upgrade like that. Brew tends to be very up-to-date.
I also hate this, but if people don't ask, they don't get, and typically those who don't end up with far fewer subscriptions. After a while they get demoralized and give up.

While I haven't taken time to measure this out to academic standards, it's extremely obvious in niche interest channels - eg I'm into synthesizers, and there's a whole little subsystem of review videos, technique videos, not-talking demos, jam sessions etc. The more heavily branded/self-promoting presenters tend to get vastly more views. My favorite reviewer centers the equipment under review and makes occasional appearances talking to the camera, but his maximum views tends to be near the average minimum for reviewers who center themselves, eg always being on-screen in a box, mirror, or direct-to-camera shot and always showing their face and a relevant emotional reaction to the subject of the video in the poster frame. I'm sure the same patterns play out in many other specialist topics.

To some extent this may be a product of the Infamous Algorithm, but it might also reflect cognitive preferences of viewers in that many people prefer to have information mediated by a recognizable presenter whose reactions and emphases become more meaningful with repeated views, while others like me find an overly-expressive presenter distracts from the material under discussion and gravitate towards a more subdued/restrained communication style.

In Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan distinguishes between 'hot' and 'cool' media which employ more or less intensity to solicit and maintain attention. 'Hot' styles with a charismatic and overtly solicitous presenter seem to be more popular in general, so even people who don't like that style may end up adopting it to gain viewership in a competitive market. There might be a market opportunity here for catering to different kinds of viewers, eg a 'CoolTube' for people who strongly prefer a more low-key presentation format.

Incidentally, I sometimes do prefer hot 'in-your-face' sort of media, especially on things like experimental music videos or the occasional guilty pleasure of a cheesy monster movie. It's just a hunch, but it seems to depend on things like a rapid tempo of editing and high levels of discontinuity/unpredictability rather than spatial maximalism.

Excluding people from a category is just a way of thinking about something.

The author makes some interesting points, and I like the idea of "a Disney song never lies to the audience". But I don't agree with their statement here:

> “Love is an Open Door” is a love ballad between Anna and Hans where they reveal their love and romantic chemistry for one another. This musical number exists as a genuine love song that is never re-contextualized later to fit an alternate meaning. Hans reveals that he wants to fit in and find his place, and that Anna is what gives him purpose. There are no hints or double meanings to grab onto in the lyrics. If these songs reveal the true intentions of these characters, all of Hans’ feelings are genuine.

Specifically "no hints or double meanings to grab onto in the lyrics". This is one of the exchanges in the song:

Hans: "I mean it's crazy"

Anna: "What?"

Hans: "We finish each other's--"

Anna: "Sandwiches!"

Hans: "That's what I was gonna say!"

My question is, was Hans telling the truth here? Was he actually going to say "sandwiches?" Or was he lobbing a softball for her to finish, and she said something unexpected, and he pretended that was what he wanted to say? Because it really doesn't feel genuine on his part. I think he wanted her to say "sentences" because of course that's how you finish that sentence. He's trying to build rapport, and rather than responding genuinely to what she said, he lied about it.

So no, I don't think "Love is an Open Door" is a love ballad. I think it's Hans trying to manipulate Anna's feelings. It's him leaning into what Anna was looking for, which was to be seen and accepted instead of ignored and pushed away.
How is that related to equality? Previously, it wasn't socially acceptable for women not to commit to raising families either.

I didn't think that was the point. I thought that the point was that, within certain flavors of philosophy, there is no such thing as beauty (that is, beauty has no objective reality), and therefore that anything could be regarded as being art. Duchamps' point was that this urinal was as good as the Mona Lisa; that is, Duchamps really agreed with this viewpoint (if I understand correctly). He got upset when critics called it "pretty", because that meant that they had completely missed the point.
Yes, although you'll probably find that we are not an obvious fit for that model. Company info is in my profile.
I think I must use it differently from how other people do. I use it to install tools I'll use directly, so I practically always want those to be at latest (or otherwise don't really care what version they are). If I need something at a particular version I'd use a container, or install it manually in some isolated folder, or something like that, since odds are if I need something at a particular version I'm going to need it at multiple particular versions and to be able to re-create the installation on other environments.

So I end up with:

System -> Apple-managed

My tools, as in programs I personally use -> pretty much entirely Brew, in fact I think on my current workstation this category is 100% brew-installed

Dependencies of anything I'm working on -> some language-specific version manager (which itself is may be brew-managed, actually) plus containers or VMs with scripted installs, probably.

On linux my experience is typically more like:

System -> package manager

My tools -> package manager, plus some sketchy extra repos that I hate to add but do anyway because I don't want to screw with manually updating things, plus several things installed manually, plus a bunch of things on older versions than I'd like but not worth the trouble/risk of finding some way to upgrade without it being a PITA.

Dependencies of anything I'm working on -> some language-specific version manager (almost certainly not available in the distro's official repos) plus containers or VMs with scripted installs, probably.

So for my use, Brew cleans up the "My Tools" workflow very nicely compared with Linux, excepting, kind of, my days back on Portage/Gentoo, which of course has its own problems.
I agree, and on my computer I disable custom fonts in the web browser anyways.

A better web browser is really needed; one of things it can have is support for the Gemini protocol and file format. (It can also omit many things, as well as adding things.)

As much as I enjoy the idea, I can not justify the price, especially considering the huge breadth of software NOT available.

While it would work for my purposes as a server or a dev workstation, you still have to deal with a fairly niche processor architecture.

Ironically, though, the development of software for more modern POWER systems has kept some of the Apple PowerPC systems more up to date (assuming they are running linux, like Void).

Yep, it's the only reason.

Sisi wants to make sure that there's no second Arab Spring some day.

It's so weird that media does not pick up on how this is a repressive move and nothing else. Eg when Kazachstan moved their capital to the frozen, desolate, middle-of-nowhere northeast, there were lots of giggly BBC articles about how that weird President over there moved his capital because a dream had told him to, haha! But few media wrote about how all that was cheap smoke and mirrors for making sure that everybody who lived near the capital was a civil servant, ie dependent, with their livelihoods, on a stable government.

EDIT: I changed my mind, I jumped to conclusions. This capital is only ~30km away, a suburb of Cairo really, which means that likely civil servants will be able to live in Cairo and commute to work (and vice versa some day). I bet protests will still be harder to organize than on the Tahrir square, but not impossibly so (unlike eg Kazachstan, Equatorial Guinea, Myanmar, Brazil etc)

In fact I wonder why they didn't build it 500km further down the Nile (but I'm glad they didn't), that's exactly what I'd expect of an authoritarian government like Sisi's.
I agree with you about Google translate not being perfect. I actually wrote most of my comment up before running it through translate. Even without the text, none of those pictures seem especially deep, so even taking the text out of the equation, I still stand by my comment.

That being said, this is the Google translation of the tweet in the article:

Like I said in my last comment, I know Google translate is far from perfect and I'm very open to being proven wrong, but I have a hard time believing that there's some deep insight in this post when that is what Google translate put put out. The translation seems pretty "influencer" to me.

This is enormously informative (and also long) article.

It reminds me about shorter one https://www.sleuthsayers.org/2013/06/the-3500-shirt-history-... containing following calculation:

So, 7 hours for sewing, 72 for weaving, 500 for spinning, or 579 hours total to make one shirt. At minimum wage - $7.25 an hour - that shirt would cost $4,197.25.

And that's just a standard shirt.

And that's not counting the work that goes into raising sheep or growing cotton and then making the fiber fit for weaving.
> how many of us gave even $100 to an organization helping the homeless?

I did.

> How many of us even did the basic research to find a suitable organization to donate to (rather than just tossing that money at a charity run like a big government initiative)?

You may sneer at "big government". But the advantage of having an efficient government that does good work is people can simply throw their money at it and assume that things will be taken care of. By making everyone do research, it increases the barrier to help for a lot of people . Not everyone has the time or knows what to look for in a good charitable org.

Imagine if government health inspectors didn't exist and you had to rely on Yelp reviews and word of mouth to decide if a restaurant was clean enough to eat at.

> Your donation is tax deductible.

Only if you itemize taxes. Most renters do not. And it's a deduction to taxable income, not a tax credit.
Who thinks it's not political? That's why they had a hands-off policy for so long - they knew that any real sanction of a world leader is inherently political, no matter how good your reasons are.
I originally added the Git ref solution, as a simple way to enable "resilient playback" for some scenarios. In practice, that seems to work pretty well for many folks. But I agree that this isn't a full solution to the problem of code churn. I'm working on an enhancement right now, that will attach the steps to code in a more robust way.

In general, I've seen a pretty great reaction from folks about the concept of CodeTour, and so I'm very focused on making them maintainable, since I believe that's the "big rock" needed to make them a worthy investment for more teams.
