My advice is to ignore anonymous new accounts making inflammatory and fear mongering statements.
I agree. I think as a society, we need to stop fetishizing youth. Not contempt - but tone it down a bit. Kids today have wanton access to internet and technology but aren't any smarter or better at making decisions. One might make an argument that they may be worse. Certainly more prone to group think than generations previous which is good and terrible at the same time.
Writing is not hard at all.

Done right, it’s the final abstraction to the code: The whys and the hows, and effectively and gently guides the developer from epic/functional/spec/user requirements to the underlying design & implementation.

I see alot of male misery is invalidated by the very people that could help

Something along the lines of “a man is complaining!? hahaha look everyone, a man feels a tiny bit of oppression!”

and never addressing the complaint
As a 43yr male with 4 kids, 19G, 15G, 10B and 7G I honestly question everyday was having kids the right choice. I love them all to bits but like freshgreen9 sometimes I hate the shits.. Then best age is around 2 - 4, its when they sleep through the night, are almost toilet trained, can communicate and eat mostly anything. At this age they are beautiful and are your world. Just before they get tainted by the realworld and become shits..
Genetic testing for clotting. Autoimmune work up.
Spinal tap for pressure.

Make a list every symptom, and what affects your symptoms. Take it to every kind of specialist. Then keep repeating. Take an advocate. I would explain stuff, could see they had mentally written me off. The wife would start bawling. This would wake them up, and they would dig further.

A neuro-ophthalmologist was reading my list. Looked up and declared I had Sjogrens. He was right. Now he missed the clotting disorder.

Then have a clot in your lungs. Then you get taken seriously. That’s when they found factor 5 Leiden.

So between the two my body and mind were trashed.
Another aspect you fail to understand is that because the accountability / rating / funding of local education agencies is involved, the state government and the state university do NOT want to and can NOT get involved in producing the test. It must be produced by an outsider.

I may be a minority here, but I really enjoy writing documentation.
It lets me wrap my head around the problem and really get into how people would use the software;
often times I find a lot of usability issues when writing the documentation, so it has become instrumental in almost every coding I do.

Although I do agree that it is vastly underappreciated :/.
That's just a negative incentive where you get punished if you don't write documentation.

It works. But it's hard to be consistent.

Let's say someone build a great feature with a lot of traction (e.g. money) but no doc.

Will you punish the team or celebrate the success?

"Sorry, your project make 20m, higher than any other projects in the company, but your doc is bad, so... you get below expectation rating this time".

There are tons of successful software with very little doc. So, my imaginary situation is very plausible. On the other hand, bad software with good doc rarely succeeds. But tbf bad software means unsuccessful software....

I don’t know Austin, but my general view is investors hunker down with their execs. And if they have to make hard decisions, they do it behind closed doors. Public fights with your holdings likely violates fiduciary duties.
> I’d suspect that the owner values labor in multiples of the minimum

For low-bargaining power labor, having a progression from the minimum is probably a factor; OTOH, UBI eliminates the economic coercion that is a major contributor to low end labor having low bargaining power.

For labor what the combination of oversupply and economic coercion doesn't overwhelm normal market factors, competition among purchasers should result in wages @ the marginal value to the employer added.

I'm fairly sure this is not true. I've seen webpages take >1 sec to load because of a single unoptimized image that weighs around 300mb or more. Yeah, idk how they get that big either
You can make sure it's not abused at all if you sign the URL. In terms of performance it's a free feature because once the image is generated, you no longer have to check the signature (you only check it first time to generate).

Brighter projectors would certainly help, but only if they can expand contrast ratios.

I haven't read about projectors using the perceptual tricks you described: it seems like POV-based approaches would have a distracting strobe effect?

Just like with CMYK prints, if you want to render something "out of gamut" (colors that aren't representable with the display), you need a different display.

This is typically done in print by adding spot colors to the color separations. Similarly, displays that add color emitters that aren't just blue, red, and green can render beyond sRGB. I believe some "quantum dot" displays have yellow and pink emitters, for example.
> many people need more than one job as it is now

Needing only one job is a historical anomaly as a result of an industrial society. Historically, people would have to perform a variety of tasks to provide for oneself.

Furthermore, more than one job de-risks someone's situation just like a consultant with many clients can handle the loss of a single client and not see their income fall to zero.

It's the total hours of paid labor over N jobs that you should look at instead. If you do 60 hours a week at one job or three jobs for 20 hours each, you're doing the same amount of labor with less risk.

The only qualitative difference between one 60 hour job and three 20 hour jobs is the benefits received from working 40+ hours for a single employer, but this isn't an issue with how many jobs you work. It's an issue with an artificial asymptotic condition created by an act of legislation by government.

Every time legislation creates artificial asymptotic conditions, you're going to get actors that optimize around that artificial boundary condition. If you want to avoid the circumstance, you need legislative solutions that are continuous in nature instead of asymptotic.

In contrast, Christians believe in being born again, and the capability of anyone becoming children of God. That God wants that for us, and that there is no favoritism of where you were born, status or race etc, Hes loves everyone.

That actual seems more important and deeper then what the article is talking about, but it would certainly seem an outgrowth to it.

I do not know what Judaism exactly thinks on it, although the concept of God is our father couldn't have been alien - Jesus sermon on the mount was to a Jewish audience. But being born again seems unique to Christianity, a new nature. I suspect that much Judaism - I know at least there is different sects,
probably has a tendency to fall into legalism or following the law properly, as Christians one can to. If you reject being born again and a new nature and changed person, going to following the law more perfectly would be what someone might turn to.
I've actually spent some time working on a Stackshare derivate focused on Marketing SaaS product for a friend of mine (tough that never ended up launching). For a pure generic SaaS & OSS tools site like Stackshare is, I'm not sure if there is a good business model that doesn't compromise the product.

A few possible improvements over Stackshare:

- Honest & in-depth long-form reviews. Quality matters so much more than quantity. Even a single in-depth blog post every few weeks would provide more value than the crowdsourced ones you currently find on the site

- Openly accessible, and no social/gameification features that nobody needs

- Better categories and making it possible for a tool to be in multiple ones (and being able to see it). The structure of the current ones is a mess. E.g. CMake is in "Java Build Tools" but the "C/C++ build tools" category is basically empty with 2 tools.

- Better searching/filtering. Kind of connected to the previous point. They have the data (don't know of which quality) of "Tool1 works with Tool2", so you could possibly have a more generic "Build tools" category and then filter by "works with Python".

- I don't care much for automatic comparison features, as they often don't yield good results. E.g. Jira often looks good in such comparisions, but you'll still want to bang your head against a wall every time you have to wait for it to load one of it's pages. A good alternative would be a quick overview of key metrics and category-dependent badges, which you can use to form your own opinions. RubyToolbox[0] does a fairly good job of that.

The Process Is Not the Product – The Software Methodology Anti-Manifesto
I'm sort of extrapolating from the very little I know of control theory and feedback systems. I've seen others mention that economics and control theory could benefit from collaboration.

Maybe the boom/bust business cycle, coupled with inflation, is exactly this phenomenon? Maybe social media frenzy is also a feedback phenomenon.
Thanks. This is a great idea.
As a Googler, I'm pretty disappointed with this plan and I think many colleagues are as well. The office that's being pitched right now has no resemblance whatsoever to the one we left. I just don't see why someone would go through 1+hr commute just to social distance/wear masks, use balloon walls and hotdesk. By now, many of us have gotten a good setup at home and are pretty productive.

Even the hybrid model isn't ideal, because you still need to be within commuting distance of the office, if it was something like 2 weeks onsite every 2-3 months, it'd be much more doable imo.

For the ones who really miss the office, they should be able to go, but mandatory return-to-office seems far from ideal until mask mandate is over at the very least.
This gentleman deserves all the respect in the world.
I didn't plan on having kids. My wife had 3 teenage kids when we met, and didn't plan for more. Then circumstance intervened. A family member needed adopting, and we were the clear first choice. We got him at 13 months when he was released from medical foster care. It's been eye-opening.

My best analysis is that humans are terrible at long-term planning: hence our (at least American) level of personal retirement planning. And children never "pay off". If you expect gratefulness, you are likely to be dissapointed.

So nature doesn't leave it to that. Instead it pushes some powerful, deep-seated buttons in our psyche. Hard. I was shocked to realize on day, after about 6 months, I would kill and die for my son, and looking around realizing most parents out there feel the same. It's this weird, unspoken understanding in our society. And some scary, intense anger at his birth mom. Nature doesn't leave this to chance, instead, it hard-codes the stuff essential to survival.

For a small percentage of people, this button-pushing never happens, and they wonder what the Hell is wrong with them. To them I say, Nothing is wrong with you.

The stronger form of this argument is made by Nietzsche, not by Christian propagandists.

Without God, there is no objective moral foundation. Obviously, people remain 'moral' regardless of their religious orientation, because morality is a social phenomenon, it's the 'herd instinct in the individual'. But this morality shifts and changes with times and cultures. You have no perch from which to stand and declare yourself objectively morally correct relative to some other time or culture, aside from "well, I said so." You think human sacrifice, torture of children, throwing gay people off buildings is wrong - great, sure, but here's Society X that doesn't think that, that has a whole different moral framework, and in that context those actions may be entirely moral. Phrases like "decent human being" simply mean "conforms to societal expectations."

That's why Nietzsche's famous death of God speech is directed to the atheists, not to believers.

> The meaning of our cheerfulness.— The greatest recent event—that “God is dead,” that the belief in the Christian God has become unbelievable—is already beginning to cast its first shadows over Europe. For the few at least, whose eyes, the suspicion in whose eyes is strong and subtle enough for this spectacle, some suns seem to have set and some ancient and profound trust has been turned into doubt: to them our old world must appear daily more like evening, more mistrustful, stranger, “older.” But in the main one may say: the event itself is far too great, too distant, too remote from the multitude’s capacity for comprehension even for the tidings of it to be thought of as having arrived as yet; much less may one suppose that many people know as yet what this event really means—and how much must collapse now that this faith has been undermined because it was built upon this faith, propped up by it, grown into it: for example, the whole of our European morality. This long plenitude and sequence of breakdown, destruction, ruin, and cataclysm that is now impending: who could guess enough of it today to be compelled to play the teacher and advance proclaimer of this monstrous logic of terror, the prophet of a gloom and an eclipse of the sun whose like has probably never yet occurred on earth?

On a historical note, viewing the outcomes and events of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Soviet-era, and the like, I think it may be worth considering even for a non-believer that the "objective" moral foundation provided by Christianity serves as a useful brake on the worse excesses that arise during societal upheavals.
Writing documentation is one of the main ways to show you understand the system you wrote, and as a side effect, instruct the users. It's one of the highest exercise a programmer can do.
I like writing documentation (for my mainly command-line tools), but the trick is to write the documentation first. It's a great way to prototype how you want the tool to work.

> Jumo 204 held the record until nineties

And what has happened since then? Google is showing me several engines with breakthrough efficiency in the last 10 years.

When I was a kid in the 90s, SUVs commonly got 12 MPG. The new models are 25 sometimes 30 MPG. Emissions have gotten considerably better in the last 30 years.

I’m looking and can’t find any info to back up the claim that this 1920s engine was more efficient than engines designed in the 80s and 90s. I am curious about it, not just is it true, but specifically what kind of efficiency you mean and what design features made it efficient. Do you have any sources or reading? Wikipedia talks about how the arrangement of the valves increased the efficiency, but only says this made it approach four stroke efficiency (at the time), not that it exceeded other designs. The 204 was a two stroke, and it seems to be common knowledge that even today, four strokes are more efficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Jumo_204
That is complete nonsense, and a cop-out at best.

Opening up the original iPad to other operating systems and/or DIY software does not mean handing over the signing keys for currently supported platforms. In case of a running iPad, an Apple-authorized update could be pushed to the OS to unlock it and allow it to run binaries directly.

Apple could also document any hardware features that would allow someone to put an iPad into "free-for-all" mode. Presumably this would require opening up the device to attach a serial cable to a JTAG connection or something similar.

There are many options for Apple to open up unsupported devices for hobbyists to tinker on, and it would completely in line in the original hacker-friendly Apple spirit.

Instead Apple refuses to do so, and insist that opening up an 11 year old, long unsupported device, by claiming that it would somehow compromise their current security model.

>"Do you want to force someone to live on a planet where things happen which are a daily occurrence on ours?" is a consideration that all of our ancestors had to consider, too.

Is it? Personally, I doubt that people of the past considered reproduction as optional. There are still places where abortion, or even contraception, are illegal.

Nor did their decision involve "planet-scale" factors. They either succeeded at raising kids, or failed. Normalization of antinatalism is a relatively recent phenomenon. (Even the spell-checker doesn't know the word!)

It's only in modernity that people have the access to information (skewed as it may be), and the freedom (limited as it may be) to make a decision (biased as it may be) about whether to have kids or not.

I Made a Spotify Roulette Game
I made a group Spotify game where it plays random songs and you have to guess whose account has the song in their listening history. It's available for free and premium users, although only premium users can have audio playback (so if you are playing with a few people in the same room, one of you needs to have a premium account to play the songs).

I've had a few friends test out the game and feedback has been positive so far! The game setup has been a little confusing for some so I'm hoping you all will have fun trying out the game and give me good feedback on ways to improve it! It's a great way to learn more about your friends and a good ice breaker to learn about music tastes.

You could play with 2-7 players. With 2 players, the listeners are a bit more obvious, but keep in mind you can select multiple people so its possible both players listen to the song and the other doesn't know so. When you get a big group going on things definitely get a bit more interesting!

Anyways, have fun and let me know what you think! Sorry if there are a lot of bugs, I fixed a lot but I'm sure there are more out there. Let me know what you find and I will work as quick as I can to fix them.

Also, it asks for a lot of Spotify data/permissions for the game to operate. Keep in mind any of this data is deleted after the game shortly after it completes.

Google has provided a platform that for years benefited off of extremists and only recently started taking action against it.

It provided multiple platforms that, like Facebook, optimized user clicks in ways that ended up causing significant harm. Radicalizing extremists and pushing racism, homophobia, misinformation, etc.

One may be objectively worse than the other, but lets not pretend that Google conveniently forgot "Do no evil" until it was notified of it's own actions by the public. Only with its back against the wall did it recognize the problem.
