About min-maxing: Teenage-me made the mistake of discovering that the vendor economy in Morrowind is fundamentally broken. Basically, the base price that vendors will buy and sell something for goes down when they like you more and up when they like you less. There's also a spread affected by this too, which should compensate for that, but if you max out the mercantile skill, then that spread is narrowed enough that you can buy something for cheap, make the vendor like you less, and then sell back the same thing at a profit due to the now increased base price. Luckily, making a highball sell offer offends the vendor in a way that will make them dislike you, but only for as long as the current conversation lasts. This means if you first bribe vendors to max out their affection toward you, then after that it's possible to buy their whole stock for cheap, temporarily offend them to increase their prices, then sell them everything back at a profit, end the conversation, then rinse and repeat. This way you can farm the vendors for all their gold.

You have to wait a while for the vendors' inventory and gold reserves to reset - luckily one thing you can use all that gold for is paying trainers to improve your skills, after which you'll be able to level up if you sleep (handily resetting the vendors). With the right trainers, it's possible to always improve enough major and minor skills together before sleeping, that you power level, gaining the maximum stats per level.

The first real city you get to, Balmora, has trainers that cover every single skill I cared about (maybe all of them?) and enough vendors to supply you with plenty of gold to pay the trainers. I made a "circuit" of the city, where I would run around farming vendors and paying trainers, then sleeping to level up. After doing this for a couple hours, I'd already leveled up more than the game expected me to do at all - enemies didn't seem to scale all the way up there that well, and because I'd consistently powerleveled, my stats were super high too. I still completed the game, but it wasn't all that challenging, felt more like a sandbox to play god in.

Depends on the doc. If I have to do something with Django, VueJS or TailwindCSS, I always go to the doc first (mostly looking things up with "site:" in google though), because most of the time, it delivers.

If I have to create a db with one owner in postgres, I will not use the postgres docs.

I philosophically believe, to my core, that one of the greatest evils ever perpetuated on humanity was allowing governments to print money whenever they wanted. With very few exceptions, every single fiat currency has experienced periods of high or extremely high inflation (including USD in the 70s). Giving those in power the ability to dilute everyone else’s wealth and direct new money to their favored people / projects is a major reason why inequality has spiked and everything good in the world (high quality housing, education, healthcare, food) has become very expensive relative to wages.

The relatively brief experiment with fiat currencies has been a disaster. We need something like gold (bitcoin) to bring government back into check and reward savers once again.
Dirty of google to hide behind “web.dev” and not make it front and center clear this is a google property.
Companies care a lot about perseverance and track record. You should stay at jobs for at least 2 years. Also, leaving college as a freshman does not look good; that is an inadequate education for tech. You are not going to get a good job with so little education (there are rare exceptions but you don't sound like one). If you need a cheap school, do that. I have a computer science degree from a cheap state school and I have worked at the best and biggest companies. You have to stop making excuses and stop focusing on being rejected. Focus on doing the work of preparation. Get busy. You can do it. IMHO you will never get a good tech job with so little education -- go back to school and get loans. Also I got a good internship from one of my professor's.
I love this doc because while it's not staying the whole story, it was basically my conclusion as well: you can't have one doc, you need several of them for different use cases.

I would had to the mix a page where jargon is defined, like a lexicon. You cannot, and should not always get away with jargon. Sometime you should (beginner tutorial), sometime you should define it inline (advanced tutorial), and sometime you should just use it (references), but with link it to the definition.

> > So is time you spend thinking about the behavior of the code in your head

> You have to do this anyway; static typing doesn't write your code for you. Even Haskell, which I will freely admit is probably the closest thing to an AI that I've ever seen in a programming language, can't do that. :-)

I think what he meant to say is that you spent 95% of your time to think about: "what is the kind of think I can from this method call and how can and should I use it and what should I return in the end". Writing down the result of your thoughts takes almost no time in comparison. Not only that, in good statically typed languages, you don't have to write down the types explicitly most of the time (but you can still have your IDE show them to you if you want to see them).

And in addition to that, you certainly have to think _less_ in many cases. A good example are functions that return lists. Often you always have an element in the list. Using a good type-system, it will be indicated, so when I get the list, I know that I don't have to handle the case that the list is empty.
In python I would often have to think _more_ about it and look into the documentation or maybe even the implementation to understand if it could return an empty list or not.
While the original idea is great, it super plan (as it should be). I actually been in touch with the phasedust dev suggesting to add a few built-in commands. I suggested to Aparks517 to build in, at least, a delete last post command because of my such bad typo/grammar as often as I do. I hope you will at least consider that to get people like me to use the service.

I will certainly try your service and test out the customization.
Props to you taking this wonderful original idea and expanding on it and building in your own customizing commands.

> I believe I've made my points at this juncture.

Very badly. Not saying your wrong, just that you're really bad at arguing.

You asked a question "Can you quantify what things pollute more?" and when the other guy gave you a list, you responded by saying it doesn't matter as the important thing is the purpose of the pollution.

Unless it just occured to you between typing the two responses that some types of pollution are the result of more useful work tha others, that is some bad faith argumentation. Asking a question you think is irrelavent just so you can later move the goal posts, is just silly.

Thank you for highlighting this issue, I certainly think it is something which users should at least be aware of and they don't really do a good job in explaining the distinction.
The idea is nice, but I think implementing something like that well is going to be very challenging.

One one hand, you'll have users trying hard to game the system (if you think karma is motivating, try actual money), populism, and on the other hand filter bubbles. I think these are strong forces, and it would be hard to stir it away from being full of low effort emotional-appealing posts.

I just wish there was a way to turn OFF the startup chime on a mac. There are many situations where I DON'T want it to make its loud (and recently bass-amplified) "HEY EVERYONE IN THE ROOM! I'M STARTING UP!" noise (like when someone is sleeping nearby). In fact, I can't think of any situation where the chime makes things better than no chime.

It's refreshing to see a positive comment in the sea of destructive criticism in this thread.
Some people throw hissy fits about how polluting cryptocurrencies supposedly are yet they remain silent about the perverse incentives that spurred their creation and use. It's the war on drugs all over again, and getting angry about crypto and trying to outlaw it is just treating a symptom and not the disease.
While I do understand that some people may not like it, I don't see how FLoC is particularly harmful. I've read several articles about it, and most of them just say something like "you are being put in a advertising cohort -- see how creepy it is", which doesn't really prove anything.

One more specific argument against FLoC is that it will make help tracking users via fingerprinting. I don't really buy it. First of all, the estimations from [EFF article](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/googles-floc-terrible-...) are just plainly wrong. They are talking about narrowing down to thousands of users, while in fact if Chrome has on the order of a billion users, and if FLoC has only 8 bits of entropy, the actual number of users in a cohort is on the order of millions. Secondly, from my understanding this cohort is based on your recent activity, so it will change over time.
Doesn’t this imply that we could have Docker for iOS?

I don’t think Apple would allow it, but it seems like an interesting antitrust wedge if they blocked it.

There are many reasons to use PHP:

- you have already a dev team that are good PHP developers, it is stupid to switch to Python or Ruby , you lose their experience and any chance of reusing existing PHp code you have. The dev team probably knows JS so node might be an option.

- maybe you want to build something super simple, like some third party needs to send you a notification event and you want to record that event with other third party API. You can do this with one PHP file , one a super cheap hosting , with code that is simple and clear.

IMO all the dynamic backed languages are at the same level, so if you are experienced in PHP environment there is not enough compelling reason to erase this advantage to start from scratch with Python, Ruby or node.
You'll never be able to convince the other side of anything if you don't take the time to understand where they are coming from.

Shouting into the void may feel good, but does not change hearts and minds.

Well try and estimate the size of the market, try and estimate how much of it you can capture and how much it would cost to run that company. Then it’ll be worth it if MARKETSIZE * PERCENTCAPTURED - COST > DECENTMARGIN.
If you don't step away from it everything eventually becomes enterprise software.
I don’t think MacOS and iOS are similar enough for this to be an obvious jump. I think the iOS kernel is also prohibitively locked down to do anything like custom virtualization.

If being slow annoys you then the game gives you ways to improve that. You can train attributes to get faster, craft spells that make you fly and move faster, collect items that boost your speed.

And you can also memorize the fast travel options which unlike other games aren't just clicking on a map but using restricted teleportation spells, items or talking to NPCs and employing their services. They form a sort of transportation network.

It's also totally unbalanced, if you want to lookup a guide you can figure out how to become the flash in a short time and leap over mountains.

The game gives you a lot of freedom.

I've been trying to apply this approach, and it's generaly been a useful way of forming a holistic view of your docs.

The only quadrant that can be a bit challenging is the explanation: some projects are just relatively straightforward and don't require a lot of background knowledge about the whys. In that case, I've found it best to just stick to a couple of lines on the homepage explaining the project's background and the problems it's solving, rather than a separate, rather barren-looking section of your docs.

First, I will say, I do agree that fiat does have its flaws, and certainly the Fed is an institution that is run in great secrecy.

To that end, why not use actual gold as a hedge? Why reinvent the wheel with a technology that burns ridiculous levels of energy, and doesn't at least have some additional side utility, like how gold is used in electronics or jewelry?

> Reason that I mentioned that I mentioned Bill Landreth was that I think that I'm kinda like him.

Bill Landreth was homeless in Santa Monica in 2016[1]. Plenty of smart people have ended up the same way.

I think you might be making the mistake of thinking that being smart matters. It doesn't matter very much - if the outcome is "success" (whatever that means) then generally speaking having people like you is a better predictor than being smart.

Do people like you? If not then fix that. Read "How to win friends and influence people" and follow the advice.

There is no thermodynamic guarantee in Bitcoin.
The argument for patents is simple and clear: the alternative is broader use of trade secrets. In a patent regime, a company can (indeed must) publish their process, in exchange for a temporary monopoly on exploiting it commercially. In return, everyone else can learn it, implement it for research, and improve it, at which point the patent no longer applies.

Copyright was also compelling in the technological milieu in which it was invented. Without it, the profit earned on a piece of writing goes entirely to the publisher, which is exploitative. I'm of the opinion that zero-cost copying has punctured this pretty thoroughly, and that the ludicrous extension of the term of copyright has further undermined the justice of the practice.

If given a choice between the IP laws we have, and no IP laws at all, I'd take the latter. But these arguments for patents and copyright aren't some clever thing I came up with: they're the basic justification for that area of law, and they always have been. The author is simply being disingenuous.
Of course everyone has an agenda. I think it crosses over into "manipulation" when you knowingly advance your own agenda at the other person's expense.

For instance, suppose I have a wonderful product people would love to buy, if only they knew about it. I would argue that advertising it wouldn't be "manipulative" as it is commonly understood, even though I am doing it for selfish reasons. But if I knew that the product was dangerous, or fake, or otherwise harmful, then that becomes manipulative behavior.

From there it's just simple division to see the square foot per person.

> the ability to buy 1950s-70s grade housing, medical care, etc., for a lower price

If you want 50s style housing (aka dated interior and 280 sqft per person) - there are plenty of options. Go on Zillow and limit your price to $75k and you'll see plenty of homes available. 600sqft homes aren't the average, but they certainly still exist. You may think "aha, but you can't find a home in NYC!" - but keep in mind, only 16% of the world lived in urban areas in 1900 (and only 29% in 1950!) If you want an old car, those are cheap too. Old phones, TVs, radios, etc etc are all basically free. Dated medical care is the one thing you obviously can't get.

No, if you want to party like it's nineteen (forty) nine, go ahead. Live without a car (the majority of households had no car in the 40s) - you can get around by bike if you're lucky, and if you're in a car-centric area you can ride along with your coworkers, family and friends, or hitchhike, as people did. Your small housing will be very inexpensive. Your old-fashioned diet will consist of staples like flour, potatoes, milk, bread etc that have gotten extremely cheap relative to your income. Costs that would have been a solid chunk of your budget in the 40s (new clothing, for example) have gotten so cheap as to be almost unrecognizable.

I say this all as someone who did live a life of consuming very little for several years. If you do want to live in a smaller space, not have a car, and simply consume less (water/electricity/money/resources) it is certainly possible, even in our modern world. Give it a shot! You'll be surprised.
medicine have been produced for ages without IP law

Er... I think there's a fairly sizable difference between modern medicine, in which we can develop an effective cure for a pandemic within a year of the pandemic starting, and historical medicine in which the Black Death ravaged countries for years and was never cured, only adapted to after countless lives were lost.

I don't think the modern medical industry would work without IP law. You can maybe first-principles your way to an idea of a way to produce large amounts of novel, working medicine quickly without IP law, but that's at best theorycrafting and doesn't have a whole lot of evidence backing it up AFAIK. I'm not sure how many people would dedicate their lives to coming up with new medicines, funding enormous safety and efficacy trials, and publishing results if anyone could turn around and copy their work after they poured so much into it.

IP law has probably extended too far into software, but I think the argument for its use in medicine is fairly decent.

Seattle has failed to modernize it water infrastructure. I spoke with an engineer that moved from SoCal, where they are constantly in drought, to Seattle and he said the difference in water management was night and day. In those dry areas they are efficient by necessity. Everything is networked, monitored, and automated. If something goes wrong they can turn water off and try to address it remotely. In Seattle they will send someone hours out to the site to turn a spigot. The younger people at the bottom know the system can be improved, but this is not encouraged. By younger I mean 10 years of experience. Those at the top have achieved sinecure through seniority and have no interest in rocking the boat. The good people eventually leave.
Delete last is an excellent idea. I will prioritize that! Thanks for the feedback and trying it out.

So it's a store of value that's destroyable by speculation. That's, if anything, worse than the US Dollar.

It's not an employer vs employee situation.

In societies with rule of law you can endow public entities/broadcasters with rights that protect them from such influence.

This, with a well-defined duty to inform and culture of journalistic integrity should go a long way.

I think the biggest hurdle is that it is a tragedy of the commons: the entire market needs it, not just a single country...
If there is one apartment to choose yes, if I can just go somewhere else and tell that bloke and his stupid high rent to flip off then yes, it would absolutely stop people from extracting high rents. They can obviously still charge them but a far lower number of people would actually pay them since there are alternatives.
You don’t necessarily need a majority to influence the population. Nassim Taleb has described several examples of “intolerant minorities” that influence the behavior of the whole. I wouldn’t be surprised if a similar thing happens with ARM.
