My original comment was in dollars in response to a comment in dollars; we've been talking American perspective the whole time.

I don't think it's as reasonable to make 45-year compounding interest models for retirement in 3rd world economies. There's just a lot more going on as far as stability, interest rates, personal safety, etc. You can still do it, but I don't know if the numerical result tells you anything.
I'm not sure that moving versus not moving is the right dichotomy, despite what the article says. "Animate" itself comes from the proto IE root *ani- meaning "to breathe" so it could refer to things perceived of at the time as breathing, which includes most larger animals.

But as others have noted, even in ancient times, the relationship between the gender of the word and the thing it represented in the real world was highly fossilized and often arbitrary outside of personal pronouns and a few animal names of agricultural importance (cow vs. bull).
I don't know quite why this comment drew some negative attention.

I read 'Blake' and thought, "oh neat I wonder if this person also did a popular crypto hash that I've seen?" I looked it up and found out that in fact they didn't and it's not named after anyone AFAICT. So I meant this as purely informational for anyone else who might've thought the same thing.

Sorry if it was an off-topic comment.
Trucks don't pay for much of their costs. For example, most of the maintenance of highways is the result of the heavy trucks slowly braking up the pavement.
> But your claim was "No one ever decided to use any language whatsoever because it didn't have a GC." and that's simply untrue. If C++ got a GC I would immediately stop using it and would have never used it to begin with.

There are some English issues with your post (using a language because it doesn't have a GC is pretty different from quitting a language because it has a GC) so I'm going to let this discussion die.
I read through it, and the first concrete accusations cites a newspaper article titled "Renowned MIT Scientist Defends Epstein: Victims Were 'Entirely Willing'" which is flat out wrong. He does not defend Epstein (but Marvin Minsky), and he does not state that the victims were entirely willing. Read the original email instead of the smearing article in a tabloid.

I also recommend the treatment here: https://www.wetheweb.org/post/cancel-we-the-web
Neither agree or disagree, but just want to say that's exactly how I felt about Angular when React first came out. It wasn't much of a "framework" at all, just an easy way to render onto the DOM from js.

I very much like the idea of compiling code to make direct DOM mutating managable. A very powerful idea regardless of which syntax you end up going with. I wish their website talked more about this instead of having a React comparison on every page.
> at worst, you need to pay for a round trip to bring back the empty container

That assumes the container is ready for you to bring back. It sounds like a big part of the problem is that North America is a bottleneck where it is taking containers in, but they aren't available to be sent back, empty or not.
This is not new, but it's nice to spread awareness since it seems everyone loads it in the front-end nowadays and I've noticed that it also avoids the page moving around too much.

In https://documentation.page/ I'm using `markdown-it` with `prismjs` to generate the code snippets (see example on e.g. https://react-test.dev/). It's in fact a default helper, so you don't even need hacks:

import MarkdownIt from "markdown-it";
import Prism from "prismjs";

function highlight(str, lang) {
if (!lang || !Prism.languages[lang]) return;
return Prism.highlight(str, Prism.languages[lang], lang);
}

const md = new MarkdownIt({ highlight }).use(...
Found this definition by UN sub-dividing Asia into five(six) sub-regions[1], containing nations as Kazakhstan, China, Philippines, India, Saudi Arabia(, Russia) to name one from each.

I think the "India" prefix in the terminology you mentioned and the fact that euphemistic American "Asian" including only East/Sountheast Asians indicate that there is a widely recognized and practical distinction between the groups, which also aligns with the UN definition, despite both partly sharing the literal expression.

There's a increasingly larger amount of web developers who are only "trained in React/Angular/Vue" and are unable to understand how to use or the trade-offs of regular websites using just HTML+CSS with only a little or no JS (that goes for both templated or fully static sites), and a surprising number of them even thinking they are some kind of "legacy technology".

At the very least, this kind of article is informative for that crowd.
> I find this in contrast to React which is often baffling and incoherent. I say this as someone that has used React professionally for 6 years. They've changed their mind at least 3 times on the API and none of it fits together today. Hooks and classes don't mix, lifecycle methods are still out there and just as confusing today as they were years ago. Mixing state and functions. It's just a horrible bag of half-baked bad ideas. And it's not even batteries included.

This, so much. It has been so frustrating to have to go from es5 classes to es6 classes + stateless functions to stateful hook oriented functions that do nothing but create just a new type of class, but also with es6 classes but with different methods. Seriously, WTF?!

I really like the ideas behind Svelte, but some things just really do not mix well with it. Like leaflet or d3. For some reason, mixing declarative rendering approaches with non-declarative approaches results in completely mind boggling buggy interactions that aren't easily understood. And typescript integration feels tacked on and doesn't play nice with some of the semantic differences between svelte and javascript, which makes me doubt how much you can really say that it is just Javascript. I mean the entire concept of a variable has completely changed to become reactive, and at that point it's not really javascript anymore, it's something that compiles to javascript while looking almost exactly like javascript. I'd love to give it a deeper look, and I probably will soon, but I'm quite skeptical of what might be hiding underneath the covers.
Yes I want a Linux phone. But I also want one that has similar app support to Android and iOS.

The problem is not with the Linux phones that are out there, it is that no apps are and likely never will be compatible with (non-Android) Linux phones. Until that is solved, most people (like me) could not switch out their phone for a Linux phone as a daily driver, however much they would like.

Having Linux as an alternative for Windows is a lot easier than having Linux as an alternative for Android/iOS. A lot of the Windows applications we use can be replaced by opensource applications on Linux. And browser based applications already work on both.

However, apps on Android/iOS are mostly tied to cloud services. Unfortunately services that most people need in this age. Messaging systems like WhatsApp and Signal are usually tied to your phone, and going without them would result in social isolation for a lot of people. But also for banking and sometimes government services, you likely need to use their apps. And there will never be opensource alternatives for such apps.

The price of food is a function of demand and supply. If there is a famine, price of food goes up.

This is a good thing because it ensures that food is used by the most productive and profitable citizens, right?

We have more empty houses than homeless people. Efficient market my ass.

Currently the most profitable use of land in London is building luxury apartments that are bough by Saudi and Russian billionaires who never live there or even let them out. They wait for their price to go up even more.

During covid 700,000 people left London, but real estate prices grew.
However, it makes huge sense economically, so they'll be around for a while.

As I said in another post, hopefully this will help clean the free software movement from all those people who think no non-neurotypical person should be in a position of power.

Whose number may seem unusually high, but it isn't if we consider recent history. People is quick to discard all those who think different. And the holier-than-thou mentality is deeply rooted in the American mind.

Hopefully all those people will leave to form their "pure" and "exclusive" community where they could endlessly discuss about how many pricks can dance in a forum's thread, or something like that, so people who really want to work can advance the movement unimpeded.

I dont think this person understands passion. When you do something out of passion, it doesnt burn you out. It doesnt feel like work, because you enjoy it. By definition, you cant burn out by pursuing your passion.

I am passionate about software development - I enjoy it and while I have experienced burnout before, its never been from software development, only from all of the other things that have to do with business. I want to hire passionate developers not because they are "easier to exploit" but because passion helps you be better at what you do - if you can program for hours and not feel burnt out because you enjoy it, youre likley to program a lot and gain a lot of technical expertise. Passionate people are more likley to be happy with their jobs, and happiness can be contageious - it contributes to a positive office environment. I dont expect anyone to ever work more than 40 hours a week regardless of passion - in fact I discourage it, and even encourage working less than that if you can still get things done doing so. Passionate people don't get "rewarded with a pat on the back" as the writer claims - they get rewarded by having done something they enjoyed and being happy. Huge difference.

It sounds like this person isn't passionate, and is trying to make up for it by mischaracterizing passionate people and attacking them. This seems dumb, jelous, and mean. I agree that passion shouldnt be a requirement to be employed in a field - after all, lots of people arent passionate about anything and still have to make money. Fortunatley, from fist hand experience, it is obviously not neccisary to be passionate about software to have a career in it. We already live in the world this person wants. I agree that this is how it should be. I dont see the point of trying to go after people who value passion or try to form work groups where thats a sought after trait, them doing so doesnt make things worse for anyone else.

Uh? No, I don't think you should be allowed to advocate for the morality of statutory rape in a university mailing list on an entirely unrelated topic. I was on some csail mailing lists and I certainly wouldn't want to get that.

i'd categorize boat as inanimated. my experience is that "moving" means self-moving in this context. also languages are generally fuzzy on edge cases. a static sea creature may be inanimated in grammatical sense eventhough it's live. it depends on what it the most resembles to to the people who first name it: does it look like more of a rock or more of a snail? "oh, it turned out that rock-like thing is a snail something in a hard shell? never mind everyone call it sea-rock by now."

Before I give my thoughts, I want to say that I really enjoyed this article. I didn't agree with much of it, but I had a good time reading it and I had a few chuckles along the way.

> Free-softwarites like to use beer metaphors (free as in beer). Let me suggest that if one were concerned with bad actors, one wouldn’t drink purchased beer (or free beer). One would brew one’s own beer, because bad actors might have poisoned the beer. And one would have to grow one’s own hops, (as bad actors might have poisoned purchased hops). And what might one use for water to brew the beer? Bad actors might have poisoned the water supply. One would need to dig one’s own well (unless, of course, the bad actors had polluted the water table). This way lies temperance.

This is not cut and dry. It is a spectrum. A spectrum of abstraction layers. There are layers where you trust others more than you trust yourself, and that is where it's OK for small teams with small budgets (technical or financial) to abstract away more and more complexity with another layer. If you're a fairly technical organization with huge budgets, and your market demands extra stability; you run your own infra. Organizations can only implement plans when their capabilities align with their intent. If you lack capability you must reduce your intent or obtain more capability. Capability can be purchased. There is an opportunity cost analysis associated with those decisions. The author of the article seems to assert that every org should just abstract away all complexity all the time just because they can. They don't stop to consider the cost or difficulty associated with that approach.

> ...but having a government agency whose job it is to keep the beer supply safe might be more effective than having each household test the beer they purchase to determine if it is safe...

The author ignores the fact that most of this demographic owns guns to protect their family from that $2 trillion dollar military. But I digress, you're still conflating "Effective" with "Cost effective" which are not the same thing. Most organization would at least perform some rudimentary risk-benefit analysis. If buying beer is 99.999% safe and making beer is 100% safe, is the cost associated with producing beer worth the risk?

Is the particulate pollution universal for wood burning stoves? I was under the impression that modern designs burned quite efficiently.
English native speaker here (en_GB!) However, I have studied Latin, both classical: "Cicero sic in omnibus, Brutus aderat." and medieval: Erasmus, as he toddled around Europe, drank nearly as much red wine as I do. I've also failed French and German O levels (old UK exam at age 15.)

So, Latin generally had M, F and N. Modern French (Romance language du jour) ostensibly has M and F. Modern Germanic languages have .... OK:

- German M,F,N.
- English - nouns don't have a gender
- Dutch - I don't know - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_Dutch_grammar could be complicated
- I've run out of language knowledge here

So that was scientific.

The article notes that proto-indo-european only had animate and inanimate and that is not the same as gender. Animate here is "alive". A human and a tree are animate but a rock is inanimate. Rocks (outside of Terry Pratchett books do not procreate).
First of all - congratulations on the launch. Your produce looks beautiful!

I'm curious, and mean no offense when I ask: when you and other startups cite usage at Telsa/Stripe/etc. do you sell directly to those organizations or is there some other threshold that makes you comfortable mentioning them.

I've seen similar on a lot of sites (sometimes direct competitors claiming use by the same large organization) and I often wonder if the company knows anything about it or if it's more a case of a handful of individuals (that happen to work at one of those companies) using the product of their own volition.

I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts here.

Best of luck with the launch and all future endeavors!
This is a "fire your head of HR" level of problem and you can be sure this will be brought up to the board (I just looked up the board. it's only 4 people, basically product marketing folks).
Comparing H.265 (HEVC) and H265 video file size
I'd idly wondered in the past whether containers had the capability to be dismantled for more efficient shipping when empty - I guess not?
The only even remotely break-bulk pier I know of here in Baltimore, unless you count stuff that's too big to containerize, is the one at the Domino Sugar plant down at Locust Point. That one might actually be pretty well suited for unloading raw coffee beans with the same bucket lift gear they already use for raw sugar.

Probably have it shipped in the same often ill maintained freighters, too - a few years ago I watched an osprey pull a three-foot length of steel wire out of a crane cable on one of those boats. Impressive that the bird could do it, less so that the line was in such a state that a loose wire was there to be pulled out of it. But you could fill their holds with loose beans, no problem.

Doing break-bulk with sacks of beans in a cruise liner could work, but you'd probably end up paying eighty or a hundred bucks a pound for the coffee - I don't get the sense that either cruise ships or longshoremen work cheap. Better just to lay in a supply now, before the shortage shows up in prices at places like restaurant supply stores, and wait it out.

(That's what I just got done doing, anyway. Not like I won't drink it in any case...)
Honestly the SSD is so fast, that for everyday workload you will not notice the lack of RAM even in an 8GB system (I am coming from a system with 32GB or RAM). But RAM is RAM, and using swap memory that aggressively can reduce the life span of the SSD very fast.
Sure, but not necessarily. LineageOS is fine. What I really want is more good Android apps without Google (or any other) dependencies, without ads/tracking or in-app purchases (classic single-time pay is Ok).

I wouldn't mind dialing numbers from command line though.
You can't get away from mutable state. Redux, for example, just hides the big `state = newState` mutation but it's still very much there. When a library/framework uses mutable state, it's not that they're saying immutability is an anti-feature. They're just being pragmatic in the sense that mutation has to happen anyways and they consider explicit to be better than implicit. (With that said, some people do argue that immutable JS is in fact an anti-pattern because JS doesn't really lend itself to idiomatic performant immutability in the first place and emulating it as an abstraction adds a lot of unwanted complexity)

IMHO, it's a disservice to yourself to just blindly drink the immutable koolaid without understanding the very real drawbacks it comes with in JS-land. There's a great deal of gray area where explicit mutation is perfectly adequate in ways that overzealous immutability might be counterproductive.
I (knowing nothing about literature) really like this poem, the way it sounds and flows. What does it mean though? Is he just saying that despite man's intellectual achievements, at the end of the day we're just brutal beastial animals?

First of all, over 6 of the test listed do not give results in IQ points. So they're not nominally IQ tests.

Second, and more substantially, here's an explicit clarification for one of them (LSAT):

"The LSAT is not an IQ test. It does not measure intelligence the way IQ tests are designed to measure innate ability. A person who is very smart can receive a low LSAT score."

You can find similar declarations for the others (non-IQ) tests listed.

Yes.

What if the Zodiac Killer's plan all along wasn't to give the cops a chance at finding his name but simply give them false hope?

The FBI budget isn't unlimited and making them waste time breaking difficult ciphers, along with some early successes to keep the hope alive might make them overconfident in expending resources in cracking the ciphers instead of good old fashioned police work.
