It's hard to measure. It's part of a network of feedback loops. There's no good way to single out any piece of it.

Fox News pumps legitimacy into it. It's explicitly partisan but done in the style of a conventional news broadcast. That helps normalize and smooth the echo chamber that comes from the generalized outrage machine of social media. That allows the extreme wing and the supposedly moderate wing to coexist, while slowly shifting the Overton window away from the latter and towards the former.

So there's no way to say which is more important. They use each other, not always in ways that they like but ultimately towards keeping them pointed in the same direction. The combination is so much more effective than any of them alone, while simultaneously having enough redundancy that you could remove any one of them but quickly reroute around that damage.

0.6% is orders of magnitude larger than the percentage of people who have a legitimate use case. In my opinion it's not that coin does not have legitimate uses, it's that the cost of providing those uses far outweighs the benefit by design.

The current increase in value and ramping up of energy use is not due to an increase in the usefulness of the coin, but instead on a renewed interest in the game of hot potato that is speculation.

> To make lira scarce you have to make it so people are willing to buy lira. If you stop paying interest on lira savings people will sell their liras and buy dollars (this is exactly what happened in the past years).

Which is what you want them to do since that puts lira back into circulation where it passes (higher) tax points which then drains the currency. Reducing government spending would do the same thing.

When there is less lira in circulation, then obtaining it to purchase Turkish output becomes more difficult and the price rises.

People saving in any currency is the problem since the lack of spending it represents denies somebody else an income.

You don't want 'foreign investors'. Turkey has its own currency and can purchase anything available for sale in lira on its own. In fact 'foreign investors' have to obtain lira before they can buy anything so why not cut out the middleman?

> More importantly, people will buy lira only if they trust the Turkish state

Again a myth. People will obtain lira if Erodogan will otherwise jail them for tax evasion. The lira always has value to those with a tax liablity in lira and who are sufficiently scared of Erdogan's tax collectors.

there are couple real reasons why managers/executives should choose Java over the other language:

1. it is battle tested, stable, and its strong and weak sides have been pretty much studies and internalized by developers

2. Java devs are like sand on the beach. They can be found everywhere at a cheap price. Develop something, then slowly outsource/offshore dev to cut costs and continue milking sales contracts.
>How does Amazon harm consumers? I mean precisely, how?

but burying alternatives, they basically drive smaller product competitors away, reducing their sales and their ability to grow and innovate.

Amazon has been blatantly copying products that other brand sold, and made them cheaper.
Great for consumers if the only thing you care about it price.

Because the game is getting rigged and Amazon products will always be more prominent, no-one can compete with Amazon on these products.

You end up with less competition and less choice.
Amazon can just undercut you, push you down in their listings and get the lion's share of any product type they find lucrative.

Certainly not all that bad but where do you imagine this is going if no-one else is able to compete with Amazon?

Amazon is already king and has power of life and death on countless businesses that rely on it being an impartial party so they have a chance to sell their ware.

That depends on how you define "protocol". ASCII dates from 1963, and that's still the baseline for text-based protocols.

FTP predates Ethernet, Token Ring and ARCNET. It predates TCP/IP. For an actual protocol, and not just a simple format specification like ASCII, it doesn't get older than that in current use.

Reading what I wrote instead of projecting your own political narratives would help a conversation, you know. Where did I claim any such thing? What came from the West was the idea (and a fashion) of fitness training as a popular pastime activity, and it was a new thing in Europe too. People just didn't do it or think of it that way before. They played sports, or practiced the skills, but the idea of doing regular exercises for health reasons only was something new. Same was in India, traditional Indian practices were about spiritual development, not training your body the way hatha yoga did it. No king or maharajah has ever before cared if his people exercise or not. Hatha yoga was Indian original system, and Krishnamacharya (on a request of Maharajah) took it and mixed different other technics (breeding practices, etc) and created a new system which was a combination of a response on modernization of India accepting good ideas from the West (that nation's fitness is something important), as well as the rise of Indian national identity and efforts of Maharajah to save the original Indian traditions from being forgotten. It was their original take on that new way of thinking about human health and life, the same way Sokol movements were Slavic take on it, not just something that "came from the West" as you try to frame it.
I think the problem is that you really need quite high resolution and frame rate for it to be a good enough experience to be worth the hassle. Which then means you need a lot of GPU power, more than your typical laptop or tablet can offer.

I agree. The new Nissan Airya will give Tesla a real competitor in range and charging speed and it has a much more attractive UI and interior. The Lucid Air, from a former Tesla exec, knocks Tesla out of the park on charging, speed, and range and it's gorgeous, too, inside and out.
> It’s surprisingly rare for things to split like that.

THIS. The product is blended and so must the teams be. Among all the full-stack developers I've worked with, the "frontend" or "backend" designators tended to describe preference or strength, rather than limitation.
So just like the rebuttals I've seen elsewhere...

When one of those cohorts is narrow enough to reveal something specific and highly private (like a specific disease / medical / legal / societally high interest issue) - what then? Sites get to learn that you are associated with that very private concern.

No. I am against any and every form of personalized AND aggregated categorization, because until the associations created are no longer used as criteria by others, no form of tracking is neutral.

Cookies AND FLoC and any other replacement all need to stop.

And those who want to characterize others need to stop, because the information WILL be abused.
Older technologies are more reliable and last longer, because they have survived the changes of time. That also means if you learn older technology (my rule of thumb is 15+– think Elixir, Lisp, Haskell, Python, Java, C++), your knowledge is unlikely to expire.
> No lender is going to exchange foreign denominated loans for Lira denominated loans during a currency crisis.

They won't get that chance. When the firm is put into administration those foreign loans will be written off, which pushes the loss home to where it belongs - people lending in dollars to entities that have unhedged income in lira.

The state/local investors then buy the firm out of administration with lira loans.

How so? A user's cohort is shared by many other users, and for any individual site you have visited it is very likely there will be another user with an identical cohort who has not visited that site. This means you cannot tell exactly which sites any individual has visited.

IP address alone is already a massive fingerprinting leak, and needs to be addressed if browsers are to prevent cross-site tracking. Chrome is also working on this: https://github.com/bslassey/ip-blindness

I love the podcast. I have Pocket Casts set to skip the first 7 minutes or so, while they're opening trading cards they bought on eBay and talking about non-Star Trek things.

Kotlin could he better, but doesn't go all the way. Without HKTs and implicit injection, Java is going to eat its lunch. Java already has records, type inference, parametric null safety with Optional, Loom provides coroutines, vavr and streaming apis have given us theabilitytodo FP... what's left as a unique feature?

Kotlin will survive because it was picked for Android to avoid copyright issues. But the difference between the two languages is vanishing small.
Maybe another day I will take the time to write a full-length blog post examining the bytes in a Go binary. Today I have other work planned and still intend to do it.

My points today are only that:

1. Go binary size has not gotten dramatically better or worse in any particular release and is mostly unchanged since Go 1.3.

2. Many claimed facts in the blog post are incorrect.

3. The linker is not "embedding random data" into Go binaries as you conjectured in the comment above.

Stepping back a level, you don't seem to be interested in engaging in good faith at all. I'm not going to reply to any more of your comments.

Interesting question and I guess it depends what you mean by "protocol"[1]. If simple characters-over-the-wire counts, then ASCII was developed throughout 60s and was itself derived from much older telegraph standards. Teletype is arguably more of a "protocol" and is actually even older, going back to the 50s, and arguably the 30s in some form, and still forms the basis of all terminal computing today including (especially) across networks.

I don't have a problem with the idea of panic, but the way it's used seems like a wart. In a language with a result type why there are there any cases where the system isn't too broken to return a result, but default to panicking anyway?

Thinking about it from the embedded side, my panic is going to tell the failsafe circuitry that the processor can't be trusted. That's too aggressive of an action for any case where we still believe that the processor can return control to a caller that could have a more-graceful error path.

On Desktop, how many rendering engines are there out there today? 3? Most browser creators cannot afford to create their own rendering engine, so we get Gecko, WebKit, or Blink.

With this in mind, when you’re asking for alternative rendering engines, you’re really asking for Google to be able to get their hooks into iOS. It would be nice if Mozilla were free to develop their own engine but that’s not without downside and the most likely outcome is an iOS dominated by Chrome and ad-tracking.

Matrix doesn't work as the next email because it doesn't use DNS for address routing, it uses a centralized identity server, by default the one operated by New Vector at vector.im. You can use a different one, but then you can't map human friendly Matrix addresses to Matrix IDs on the public server. Hosting your own identity server creates a diaspora of Matrix networks.

That's an astute observation, but there is such a thing as flattery and compliments paid with an ulterior motive and it's not always easy to tell those apart from genuine recognition of a perceived positive trait.

For example, perhaps people are telling you you're smart because they like your er other assets. Or because they feel obliged to because you're their boss. Or because they know your parents. etc etc.

Bottom line, there's confounding factors that can throw the calculation way off.
This is what Brave team says about FLoC vs 3rd party cookies [1]:

> Google says FLoC is privacy preserving compared to sending third-party cookies. But this is a misleading baseline to compare against. Many browsers don’t send third-party cookies at all; Brave hasn’t ever. Saying a new Chrome feature is privacy-improving only when compared to status-quo Chrome (the most privacy-harming popular browser on the market), is misleading, self-serving, and a further reason for users to run away from Chrome.

Most regular users wont install a blocker. But most other browsers block 3rd party cookies by default. Meaning, Chrome's market share will be the only reason FLoC will ever succeed. On top of that Chrome is known to shift the goal posts for blockers. You shouldn't be surprised if FLoC cannot be blocked on Chrome in the future.

You're the one conflating my argument here. What I'm pointing out is this: there's somewhat of an assumption that java moves slow yet steady, therefore not generating the code mess other languages get blamed for, ending in either an undecipherable mess, or degradation of development quality and speed. The idea being that java makes one more likely to win the marathon in favor of losing the sprint. Whereas many other languages can only win the initial sprint, become messy, and then proceed to be unable to move with competitors anyway later down the line.

In practice, I've barely ever seen this assumption truly come to fruition. I see java codebases degrade, become undecipherable messes filled with reflection, inflate themselves to become incredibly hard to understand or work with, at similar rates. I still see JSPs throwing garbled stacktraces that barely help understand what's wrong. Still see business shoot itself in the foot because it said "this should never happen", so the code is made under the assumption it doesn't happen, because null is still available and no one uses optionals, and 2 months later you have clients show you another NPE after going through 15 layers of business-modifying logic and people spend a week uncovering how the situation can take place (or worse, it is retroactively sealed up and the actual bug is still there). If there's some magic spell that helps java become less messy than other static languages or even some dynamic languages, I have yet to see it.

At that point, one has to question: what are we losing the sprint for? Are we truly increasing the odds of us winning the marathon? Not even its most espoused benefits, libraries, write once work everywhere, etc., seem to be remotely unique anymore. The only two answers I see, are legacy, and the number of java devs available. Lose a java dev, no problem, just pop in another. Want to rewrite the app in a different language, or even in less verbose, modern java? Good luck convincing management firmly believing that a rewrite of one month is more costly than pushing out features at 1/10th the speed post-refactor for another 2 years.

I can definitely recommend Vercel as a good alternative. Very open source community around them and a great product.
The reason I was told was that if you give a raise to a current employee, you'll be expected to give raises to all employees and that's expensive, especially when people are looking for, say, 20% raises.

On getting a new hire, the 20% raise to get them to join is much easier because that extra cost is only going to a few people, one time (and they don't necessarily know it's a 20% increase in the person's previous pay).

Quit two jobs at 18 because of "low pay" (what 18 year is well paid?). Doesn't say what happened with the Amazon job but $15/hr is about $30k/yr which is about 80-82% of the median individual - not household - income in the US. It's absolutely a "reasonable wage" for a help desk associate. It seems like they've pointed out issues to management which were fixed. That sort of thing gets noticed, in a good way if your employer isn't totally toxic.

Less than a year of school, even 100% paid with loans, can easily be paid off on $30k/yr.
