>> IMHO that sentence makes a joke of the article's points about racism, and calls them "boring and trite". Also, importantly it's an expression of feelings, not facts and reasoning.

I understand what you are saying but I think it's an overgeneralisation. My comment said that the way the article frames the subject is boring and trite, not that the racism it is trying to point to doesn't really exist. I agree it does.

I don't want to have to give ideological credentials here because I don't think that's healthy in any situation, but of course I think that the existence of racism in the music industry, as anywhere is a problem. But everyone who tries to point out the problem doesn't do an equally good job and I've sure seen people do it very clumsily. I think the article is all over the place and doesn't quite hit the spot when it comes to sensitising the reader to the issue.

Edit: to clarify, in the following sentence:

>> The article makes a very strenuous effort to make a point about something something racism in rock that sounds a bit boring and trite to my ears

The phrase: "that sounds a bit boring and trite" has "a very strenuous effort" as a subject, not "a point about something something racism". I find the effort boring and trite, not the point.

I admit that this is not the only interpretation of my comment, but, again, I think it is the strongest interpretation - and it's certainly my intended interpretation.

Edit again: And the "something something racism" is meant to express my frustration at the author's inability to pin down the subject they're trying to discuss, not to deny racism exists. I mean, I read a huge article that kept meandering and never really getting to the point. I wanted to read more about what Dylan said and why, what were his experiences that formed his opinions. But I read a bloated piece stitching together bits and pieces of rock and roll history that may have been related, or not. I just didn't like the article.
1. Redux docs encourage you to use @redux/toolkit which drastically reduces boilerplate. And even if you do opt into using vanilla redux: Typescript for some time now has supported string literal types which render enums obsolete almost.

2. Mutability is not at all a problem. Those types of bugs are obvious. On the other hand, mutability allows for a type of fine-grained control you will absolutely need. It is Javascript after all.

3. Redux _does_ allow "users to create complicated compounded subscriptions in a performant way using materialized views" which is a rather convoluted way of saying "memoize derived values." You are looking for the createSelector-API you had been shunning in the opening statement.

4. What in the name of god almighty is this:

function Component({ children }) {
const { data, loading, error } = useGetMyData();

return (
<div>
{(function () {
if (loading) {
return (
<div>loading...</div>
);
}
if (error) {
console.error("Uh oh!");
return (
<div style={{ color: "red" }}>{error.message}</div>
);
}
return (
<>
<div>Data:</div>
<div style={{ color: "green" }}>{data}</div>
</>
);
})()}
{children}
</div>
);
}

We are encouraged to pour yet another layer of abstraction on top of Javascript pulling in clones of the very libraries we had already been using. Only now, our knowledge about performance testing and tuning in ReactJS/Javascript is basically useless.

At this point, why not do away with all "boilerplate" and just use Elm?
So here’s several things I’m in favor of:

1. A loan is treated as repatriating any offshore foreign income that you might have;

2. We need to eliminate it at least tackle transfer pricing / profit shifting. One way to do that is to apportion profits based on revenue.

3. Residential units owned by corporations need to be taxed higher; and

4. Owning property in a country or state should make you a tax resident of that jurisdiction.

>> Taxes literally are used as a tool to incentivize investing in the economy.

I'm sure taxes has all the good intentions but how well does it work so far if trillions of dollars are escaping in direct opposite directions?

If the tool doesn't work at all - in fact instead of building it just breaks stuff - wouldn't it be a good idea to try a different tool?
Not really. I live in a relatively spacious duplex that shares a terrace in with another house that has a garage facing the street. I live a 20 minute bike ride from downtown. How can it be fundamentally incompatible if the house I share the terrace with pretty much ticks all of my boxes? Hell, where I live does too for the most part.

I don’t want to live in the suburbs. I also don’t want to live in a high rise. I think there is a case for something in between.
> I, the middle class engineer get fucked by the taxes, and I get fucked hard, and not in fun way.

And predictably, the responses are whether or not you are actually middle class. Because somehow if you're not, you deserve to be f**d hard I guess...?
I don't think we should count on the rich to not try to find loopholes anyway while keeping their taxes low. I'm pretty sure they would do so whether their taxes are low or not.

Trying to stay on their good side hoping they will "do the right thing and pay more taxes", won't really make that much of a difference.

Our particular comment thread doesn't show me having any strong opinion on anything. You have to assume that the absence of disdain means tacit consent.

> Turns out animals with their “lesser” cognitive powers are tuned into the hidden complexity in ways we barely understand.

I take this as another description of Moravec's Paradox.

Which I do not think of as a paradox, but as one domain knowledge set (information theory/computer science) not intertwingling (to use Ted Nelson's lingo) with another domain knowledge set (biology). The more we delve into the integration of the many biological layers, the more we appreciate how finely-tuned all that biological complexity is to reality's complexity. I bet the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper than we even believe in the common scientific narrative today, and we'll need every scrap of power we can bring to bear from quantum computing to help us understand it.
Focusing in tax rates is a distraction because no matter what they are the rich don’t pay them.

Until you can get to a point where the rich actually pay taxes then we can talk about rates.
I imagine a future in which brick and mortar stores offer the same prices as online (without having to price match), but charge an entry fee for the service of trying stuff on/out.

Won't happen until enough brick and mortar stores close that the remaining ones can get away with it, though.
I'd prefer it excludes nothing. No matter what the rules are, they will be unfair or harsh on some people in some circumstances. This is true of every kind of tax. It's true of simple rulesets, and complex ones. It's certainly true of the current de facto ruleset around capital gains and corporate income taxes.

$10m is a substantial bound. Above that threshold, we can expect financial fortitude.
Historical and obscure machines aside, there are a few things modern C++ code should take for granted, because even new systems will probably not bother breaking them: Text is encoded in UTF-8. Negative integers are twos-complement. Float is 32 bit ieee 754, double and long double are 64 bit ieee 754. Char is 8 bit, short is 16 bit, int is 32 bit, long long is 64 bit.

I've re-read the original Foundation trilogy around ten times over the years. Sure the writing is clunky, it's a product of its time (~40s-50's) and a bit "Boys Own". But if you can get past that the story itself is still a classic in the genre and I still enjoy it every time I read it again.

But you're right in some respects, thus far for me, Le Guin has been totally captivating and obviously a far better writer than Asimov. But remember she also started her writing in different times.

Also, I don't quite remember any "groping" in Foundation. I know there's some stories about Asimov having wandering hands, but I don't remember that in the books.
Thanks for the rec, just ordered it!
The article appears to misrepresent the result of a study it links to. From the article:

> A study conducted by researchers in Switzerland found that a wine labelled with a difficult-to-read script was liked more by drinkers than the same wine carrying a simpler typeface.

But from the abstract of the study linked to (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09503...):

> Fluency was manipulated via an easy- or difficult-to-read font. Results showed that there was no effect of the consumption domain. However, the wine was liked more in the high-fluency condition compared to the low-fluency condition. Thus, the results indicate that a wine tastes better if the labeled visual information can be processed relatively fluently.

Which is exactly the opposite.
In order for another part of the program to do that, you would already have had to generate a mutable pointer to the object somewhere. As the article actually already goes into, this is something the compiler already tracks in order to know if a value needs to be loaded from memory when using it again.

If the ABI specified that objects passed this way were passed by immutable pointer, then just passing the object using this new method doesn't generate a mutable pointer, so the compiler is free to assume nobody else can modify it.

The point of "writing actual code" is that it's the only way we know about of managing even middling amounts of complexity. If you "don't know how to do that", you shouldn't be attempting that sort of deployment in the first place. It's just not going to be sustainable.

There are ways of writing less code over time, but they're based on the sort of solid abstractions that are really not that common. (This is how "high level" coding works.) But the typical "low code" or "no code" system is not built like that.
PG&E is a public company listed on the NYSE. It’s absurd to claim that any money they save results in lower prices. They are free to return saved money to shareholders as a dividend, and indeed they have done so in lieu of necessary maintenance. Meanwhile their prices just go up and up.

The CPUC absolutely does not control what profit PG&E makes but they do have to approve any rate increases, which due to regulatory capture, they naturally do. The brokenness of this system is as obvious as the brokenness of its outcomes.

Dropping one-to-one correspondence is fine for most code, but there are certain places where it is unacceptable. An ABI is one of these places, because the interface is designed to be exposed in a way that is observable.
> However, very often we do not have to deal with arbitrary HTML.

That really depends on who "we" are and what you mean by"very often".

I used to develop web crawlers, HTML parsers, document analysis infrastructure and various other things that come into contact with "content" for web crawlers at various search engine companies. If you assume people can produce valid, or even half way sane HTML, you'll be disappointed. As for how you parse insane HTML: with difficulty.
Well, yeah. That’s kind of what I mean. There are many kinds of housing options besides single-family home that meet my criteria. My point is that we shouldn’t just ban the single-family home, and arguing that we should seriously jeopardizes the cause of increasing density because it’s a really unpopular proposal.
Short of Apple proxying and reviewing every byte sent out by an app, I just don’t see how this level of review is possible. It is like detecting virus or malware. Whether apple should have boasted about their review process or not is another matter.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. A shame this isn't written down someplace. I'm still learning and trying to teach my daughter, myself.
The nice thing about profoundly gifted kids is that you couldn't stop them from learning STEM topics if you wanted to.

The hard thing about PG kids is that if it isn't interest led, it isn't happening.

PG kids are way out ahead intellectually than they are emotionally. But it's like any person: mentors who challenge them, coaching on good and bad influences, and age appropriate social learning.

I grew up in the country without internet, but similarly had 160 IQ at 4. I'd say nature was my favorite way to learn until I was 8: just walking around asking what and why about everything. I was unschooled though so I can't say what school experience would have been.

As I got older, I struggled emotionally more, especially as a teenager. It turns out having #1 marks in your school is not how to win the social tournament. So I calibrated that mid 70s grades would be game theoretic optimum between parental disappointment and cool to friends.

At 16 I essentially decided I was done with school, did two years in one and got a full time white collar job. At 18 I ran a business unit, etc. You couldn't stop me, that was the obsession.

Around when I was 12 I realized most adults were too stupid to have much to offer. They couldn't really cope with how hard their lives were, and couldn't synthesize things beyond 3 month timescales. I just read hundreds of books trying to find adults who were ahead of me, and found it. But again, STEM wasn't the limit, philosophy, social sciences, religion, etc you can't can it up and try to Google engineer path someone that smart.

It's very stressful being able to imagine worlds that could be but can't because people can't understand them and you can't patiently communicate it. That doesn't really end though.

I think if they can read, curating intellectual age reading list of wide range of subjects including and beyond STEM would have been something I appreciated more. Also encourage creation, books are stimulation but what about writing?

They will probably have adult STEM abilities including coding by like 14. So it's really going to be more about character, social and values education for the next little bit when you still have moral high ground.

The hard point isn't how fast they think it's how different. They will be an island of one. I wish my parents helped me cope with that and I didn't have to feel like an island before I understood I wasn't normal.

Hope this helps.
If they could get a special deal, they probably wouldn't have standing to take the case to trial, so they literally couldn't take it to trial.

I suspect they would still want to. My personal suspicion about the motivation behind this case is that it's not really about Epic Game's profit, but Tencent's. Tencent owns 40% of Epic Games, and owns a lot of companies who stand to make a lot more money if Apple's forced to open up the app store.
How foolish. May you live forever is how I would curse my worst enemies.
The answer is 'yes, absolutely', particularly considering we are talking about Enterprise IT here.

Take for instance a common integration point for these applications - sending a sales order to a warehouse management system (WMS). Even if both systems have RESTful API's there is no fixed standard for a sales order, so you need to at least do some mapping. Then maybe actually you find out WMS needs a reference from the transport management system that has to be merged into it, and this also has to go back to ERP (which isn't part of the standard 'send order' integration). This is why middleware programs exist.

Enterprises often end up being bundles of random applications that all need to be informed about random stuff, and it's just not practical to expect the application vendors to know what applications need to be aware/informed of what.

There should definitely be efforts made to figure out how to tax those billionaires (and there are!), but that doesn’t mean that those making $400k shouldn’t be taxed way more as well. Let’s be honest, your life won’t change in any meaningful way because of this.
Given 2 9s, you’d be okay with 87 hours of no electricity? Also, assuming this outage would probably come at a peak tome when AC or heat demand is high so you’d be either without heat or AC for 3 & 1/2 days? That’s how many texans died this past year.

Edit: you also mention sewage. I personally would not be happy with no sewage for 3.5 days in a row

That seems extremely high, what state is this? Do you mean the top marginal rate, or is that literally the effective rate when you file your 1040?
Except for the fact that landlords still have the full mortgage interest deduction (as is proper for any business loan in a system that taxes income/profit) meaning it’s harder for owner-occupants to bid against them for housing.

I think middle class is about where your money comes from than the amount of your money. If you are primarily deriving your income from from working for a company you don’t control, then I think you are middle class.
Also these 100+ year old people hit multiple genetic jackpots, avoiding diseases of suboptimal metabolism and cellular senescence as well. There are many other populations that could be analyzed: the 70+ year old relentless sunbathers with leathery skin but no skin cancers, the 90 year olds smoking 2 packs a day for 60 years with pristine lungs. Because these people don’t end up in clinics there is not necessarily as much known about their innate resilience to carcinogens or other malign influences.

Would an oligopoly (at worst) need to be strictly as bad as a monopoly though? I don't really care that the fight is mainly the one of greedy billionaires, as long as it reduces the prices for consumers.

Plus Epic does not really proposes the same kind of walls as Apple do. The worst they can do are exclusive titles on some typically somehow open platforms (and yep I guess they would take a deal to have an authorized store on a closed one, but for now I'm not sure such beasts exist anyway -- and again, why would it be worse than a monopoly?), they don't even sell only that, and the people they get exclusivity from had the choice to do something else anyway (without renouncing to whole platforms)
