> For the Chinese, it's economic progress over freedom.

And do you think that this is the case because of some sort of permanence in chinese culture or is it just a transient artefact of the economic situation?

Is Chinese middle class really a known variable?

If you look at the west, the current doxa was not always focused on human rights and individual freedom. The same drive to economic progress has actually dominated much of its history since the renaissance and it can be argued that it was the main engine to political progress. My grand parent main political goal was mainly to ensure they would have enough to go by once they get old.

Don't you think that, as chinese middle class's economic situation evolves, its priority might not also change?

I think what's going to happen in china in the next 20 years are going to have as much impact on the world than the colonization of the new world by europeans 500 years ago. And chinese middle class will be at the center of it.

> We don't always agree with the official narrative. Neither of us has been censored or arrested.)

And if the chinese government were to do something that you consider truly horrible, would you consider that expressing your opinion openly and publicly would be considered "to rally and secede"?

Again I am not trying to trigger you, I am just trying to understand a collective state of mind on which, I believed, we are poorly informed in the west.
Any theory on why this is occurring needs to have a solid explanation for why women under 55 are suffering this effect more than anyone else. Does John Campbell have one?

In a gray failure, a server or part of the network doesn’t fail fast but instead starts running slow. Running slow is WAY worse than failing-fast.

I've used diatomaceous earth with good results for various things I don't want in my house. I don't mind sharing my home with spiders and the like. But fleas are not welcome. And the previous homeowners planted some lovely peonies outside their hundred year old home. So ants. Lots of ants.

It's a gnome extension.
No it clearly is not. It migh be to you but I would never drink water in the US from the tap. When you are used to clean groundwater and discussions about water from the Alps not being clean enough then the water in the US is not even on the same level.

And how did it look in the US in the 70's when it were booming like China is now? Children in plastic cocoons because the air were toxic with lead, drinking water full of crap, dead fish everywhere from dumping of chemicals in lakes and sea, radioactive waste leaking, etc.
But why "0xf or" rather than "0 xfor" (where xfor is a valid variable name) as long as we only care about splitting between valid tokens?
That looks pretty cool; it's unsurprising that there's an automated solution since the differences are so small and predictable

Edit: Does this do automated conversion? I can't actually tell
I've been hearing a surprising amount of positive feedback from people who have tried the current Gnome based DE on Pop OS. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard that they have some sort of tiling / snapping that works well. I'd like to try it, but I'm heavily invested in upstream Debian and am not really interested in installing another Debian derivative. Are there plans to package this up?

I'm currently using XFCE on two computers with key bindings for snap left/right and snap top-left/top-right/bottom-left/bottom-right. On a big display, this setup is excellent. On a laptop it works, but often feels a little cramped, and it's particularly painful with a laptop trackpad instead of a mouse. It would be nice if there was an option to split ~67%/33%... apparently Windows(!) can do that.

I've also been playing with i3 on another laptop, and for a lot of things the experience is clearly better (e.g. web browsing on a laptop without a mouse), but for others (e.g. kicad) it either doesn't work well, or I haven't managed to configure it well enough yet. The rabbit hole is infinitely deep, and while I enjoy tinkering with it every now and then, I'm probably not going to use it as a daily driver anytime soon.

> How big of a nuke do you think they can deliver?

Agreed. This is the key phrase here. "Deliver". Building a nuclear weapon is only part of the equation. Delivering it such that it gets somewhere that evades defenses and detonates in a place and manner in which it's effective is hard.

Tsar Bomba, since it was mentioned, was an impressive device, but utterly impractical as a weapon. It was of enormous weight and required unreasonable engineering just to drop it.

You're also quite right in that nuclear weapons, while powerful, are not necessarily the "end all" that they're often made out to be. Israel's geography does complicate this somewhat; there's little strategic depth and much of the population is concentrated along the coast which makes the impacts disproportionately larger against Israeli national assets.
Because of Market Share.

That invites even more inquiry. So the author waited for people to come to them, and when nothing worked out, declared themself "unemployable" (despite not proactively looking for work).

I get that people can hit hard places, and that the author was in such a place. But I don't think the perspective given is an objective one, especially considering the author has had time for hindsight to settle in.

According to the blog post, they didn't proactively apply at companies they were interested in. They didn't bother catching up on new technologies or other skills sought after in the current market, spending their time on building a computer game instead. Interviewers are being vilified for acting in their own best interests rather than the author's conveniences.

They then finish up by becoming a digital nomad working 20 hour weeks and building up their savings and loving life. Where are the details that went into making that lifestyle work? Was it not due to being employable?

It's hard to sympathize with the author when the narrative is essentially "I put very little effort into getting hired and so had to work a little harder to get a job".
People need to accept that this is a real effect. Denying it isn't helping anyone. It's happening, it's rare, but it's happening.
Just want to add that this is not a new theory and has been circulating in medical circles for roughly a month [1]. There is also the hope that when it happens it can be diagnosed and treated.

> He spends a minor portion of his extreme wealth on good causes and charitywashes his bad reputation into being a "good guy."

Bill and Melinda Gates have pledged 95% of their wealth to charity. So far, they have given away about $45B, and have a remaining wealth of about $110B -- even if they didn't give away any more than that, that's still over 30%, which I don't know if I'd consider a "minor portion".

How do you envision going significantly farther towards the objective of reducing poverty, disease etc than the Gates Foundation?
The dictionary begs to differ, see tolbish's link.
Yeah, that's definitely true. Iirc Torvalds belongs to the former, though.
That's a rather ignorant thing to say.

You are basically saying "I feel like I have hit a point in my life where I don't want to learn."

It doesn't matter if it's a framework, language, protocol, specification, book, way of coding, or anything else. Learning is how you gain knowledge and stopping ones desire to gain knowledge is never a "point in ones life". It's just being lazy.

We very much agree that this is a pain point for those with the extension. This feature brought users (and also all our developers who rebuild... often...) a huge smile and productivity boost, so removing it was not easy. We had some fundamental issues that affected the way this feature worked which pushed us to rework it. We wanted to share more news[1] once we had some releases in the wild which recently happened.

With a recent release[2] of 1Password for Linux and the 1Password extension, the two can now communicate. Allowing you to use biometrics to unlock the extension and keep it unlocked throughout your browsing sessions.

While this news doesn't unlock this ability right away for yourself (because referencing TouchID I assume means you're a Mac friend). We will be continuing to rollout over the coming months to Windows and Mac.

> Iran leadership routinely makes threats to destroy America and Israel

So do North Korea and used to do Cuba. For at least some part, that’s for internal politics. Also, it’s typically the weaker party that makes such explicit threats (if the weaker party knows they’re the weaker one, the stronger party doesn’t need to be so explicit)

> One nuke will piss America off.

> One nuke and Israel will just be gone, completely.

One nuke on Israel likely will piss America off, too, and rapidly will lead to the end of the Iranian regime.

I think Iran won’t launch a nuke at Israel because they know that, even if Israel cannot retaliate, the USA will.

Some people say Iran, having seen what happened to Iraq, simply wants to have the deterrent of nuclear weapons, just as Israel does. I think there’s at least some truth in that.
That's true. I didn't expect something that would be perfect, but this was basically someone's list of steps to make a webapp with bootstrap, pagination, slugs, and a single CRUD resource.

If you're going to start with web dev, better to teach teach plain HTML and CSS, and enough JS to make something small happen, then let them run with it and help them customize it. Something like an in-browser alarm clock would be interesting. Show them how to change the font, colors, sound, background image (maybe even a background slideshow), and some animations.
The whole point of cryptocurrencies is that you don’t need to trust that your bank and all the other banks have settled funds correctly, you can verify that they’ve done it (to some extent). In the case of your experience, you have really no clue if the number your bank is showing you is accurate (and indeed errors are frequent, you probably have seen double charges or transactions that later disappeared).

In the context of a cryptocurrency like bitcoin you also have to trust the server you’re talking to, if you’re a light client (a client that doesn’t want to download the whole history). So Bitcoin is not a great choice for mobile clients that don’t want to have to trust another third party. Which in general is the threat model of Signal.

>Putting the moderation burden on people

I don't think GP is saying we should put the moderation burden on people. When you accept that there is no objective definition of right or wrong, you begin to see that perhaps there are ways for people to self-organize on the internet according to their values rather than being shoved into the same box like we often do today. Many people are looking for ways to efficiently and effectively organize on the internet in a more sustainable manner.
Microsoft gets a lot of things right about hardware--but in the end, this is a Microsoft device, built to run Microsoft Windows, Microsoft software, and collect the living shit out of as much data about you as possible.
As a counter point, I love my Surface Laptop 3 as my personal device.

I had a pre-M1 MacBook Air for when I'm not working and I hated its fans constantly whirring and the industrial design that hadn't been updated in years.

I dived deep into different Windows laptops having spent 10+ years away and been really pleased with the purchase. The design is very simple, aspect ratio great, and the keyboard better than the Mac I was transitioning from.

I didn't like the Dell XPS's keyboard or display, and I tried the Razer Blade Stealth 13 but it was overkill.

Having not really used Windows for years and given that lots of Windows laptops still had shockingly cheap industrial design or weird quirks (webcam at the bottom?!), the Surface Laptop 3 was unfussy and a delight to use.
Phases typically imply a thermodynamically large quantity. It makes no sense to describe the phase of a handful of particles.
I jump between Vivaldi and Firefox, and I love both browsers. Currently I use Vivaldi more than Firefox. Here's what I like in both:

Firefox:

- Multi-account Containers extension is amazing. I only use it for a handful of accounts, but it is very simple to use. This is probably the feature I miss most in Vivaldi.

- The interface integrates better with my DE (Cinnamon), and overall feels less cluttered. Vivaldi has some kind of bar on each edge of the window. Toggle UI (Ctrl+F11) helps to hide this, but Vivaldi does take more space away from the webpage.

- I use uBlock Origin for adblock which seems to block more than Vivaldi by default. Vivaldi's built-in blocker is really great though, and I haven't felt the need to install an extension for adblock in Vivaldi.

Vivaldi:

- I love the recent addition of a second tab bar[0], though I was skeptical at first. I can quickly stack tabs by host to declutter, and then see all the tabs on a second row with full details when I select the stack.

- The experimental builtin RSS[1] and Email panels are wonderful. Still some rough edges, but it is nice to not rely on another tool or service for RSS, and it is my favorite RSS reader I have used so far because it is simple and stays out of my way.

- Many more tab management features. Saving tabs as a session, tiling, stacking, periodic reload, etc. Not all features I use daily, but handy when I need it.

Overall, I've settled on using both browsers now. Each has strengths and weaknesses and I will use whichever helps me best in the moment. I'd say give it a try, and don't think about it as a switch, rather as a new tool.

Isn’t that inverse, not contrapositive? Here’s how I’m understanding it:

> appeal to authority

authority -> trust

not authority -> not trust

The contrapositive of the first proposition would be

not trust -> not authority

which is a rather different claim.
Just like with any other media, popular and good aren't always the same, despite there being a fairly close relationship between the two.

The reason for why critical acclaim is a better measure of whether a book is good than popularity is because critical acclaim is explicitly and directly concerned with assessing the quality of the product. As opposed to popularity, which has zero explicit relationship to the quality, it is only concerned with the raw demand numbers.

Just because mcdonalds is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) restaurants in the world, it doesn't mean that the quality of food there is better than that at a random much less popular Michelin star restaurant.

In the same vein, Transformer movie series is of a pretty terrible quality, but it is insanely more popular than something very critically acclaimed like Parasite. Just looked up numbers, and the first Transformers movie alone (from 2007) had about $700mil in worldwide sales, as opposed to about $250mil for Parasite. And mind you, Parasite wasn't some unknown indie movie that was critically acclaimed. It was one of the most popular critically acclaimed movies out there.

My favourite “UX bug” is when Discord wants to upgrade, it downloads a newer deb, you open it in App Store, and it only shows the “delete” button. Wonder if it’ll ever be fixed.
While this is possible, it's clear that this would be a deterrence first. The point would be that minor strikes or political actions would not have a much higher cost. For example, North Korea does not want to nuke the US. They want to possess nukes such that US actions are more constrained. It's a very unfortunate incentive.
Keep in mind that a door handle is completely immune to Covid and can be spreading it.
I don't think it's too absurd to imply that a country would expand into weaker neighboring countries if it could. One example where the US has intervened is Egypt -- without the US the Sinai Peninsula would surely be part of Israel right now. So yes I'd say it would seize land from Egypt, as it already has.
And perhaps they were right as well. Seems to me the general idea is to use a mildly inefficient tool to bottleneck your notetaking speed with the goal of increasing the total amount of time spent with the material; a plausible enough idea I think.
