“We did it Reddit” stands starkly counter to your recommendation.

I don’t know what the answer is, and I’ve been worried for a while that we are putting blind faith in “science” which just lines up with our preferred worldview. Maybe the answer is simply to use science, however it is performed, to inform, not guide, policy, and always keep in mind that what science believes has a non-zero chance of being politically-driven itself.
Performance is the last thing one can blame php for. Its quite fast for a non compiled dynamic language and most bottlenecks are usually I/O and db access

>Ignoring social problems in the workplace because it is a workplace is how we avoid solving those problems as a society.

Those who create social problems in the workplace by constantly prosecuting their cultural crusade perform an astounding display of entitlement. Nobody is obligated to agree with your social judgements, no matter how fervently you hold your beliefs or how self-righteous you are. This is especially true when a large part of your cultural crusade consists of sifting through utterances from the distance past in an attempt to find anything you and your fellow crusaders consider "problematic", so that you may punish the transgressors.

As an older person, my personal belief is society went off the rails in the late 1980s. Its when we started giving every kid a trophy, no matter how poorly they performed. Its when we started telling every kid they were entitled to respect, no matter how boorishly or stupidly they acted. Its when we started telling every kid that they were entitled to be free of judgement, no matter how awful their behavior or how much they deserved to be judged. Its when we started telling kids that their opinions were valuable, no matter how absurd, idiotic or delusional those opinions were.

Now we have generations of people who think they have the right to force others to (fervently!) adopt their cultural mores. They are blinded by self-righteousness, having been raised on a steady diet of coddling and compliments. They have been conditioned since birth to reflexively appeal to authority whenever they feel wronged or "micro-aggressed".
Why is it suddenly so hard to accept that there exist psychological differences between genders as well as undebatably there are physical? The need for discussion about this is really mind boggling to me, considering that the crowd here is supposed to be intelligent and reasonable and not either-wingly and emotionally loaden. The discussion doesn't seem to be about equality of rights and importance anymore. What the hell is happening?

Edit: sorry for the rant.
Both the article and majority of the comments are a reasonable discussion. "But you get where I'm coming from"
But a majority of popular video games has great UI/UX in a majority of areas. You cherry picked one rpg with horrible inventory system, most rpg has great inventory system which is why Skyrim sticks out. And aside from inventory the other parts of Skyrim works really well.
Totally disagree. In a technology with a long history, especially one that never breaks backwards-compatibility, a whole lot of things seem nonsensical without context. And this isn't just relevant for apologetic purposes: seeing and internalizing the patterns and the internal logic often requires that background knowledge.

Think about when you're learning to work on a legacy system. You (hopefully) don't just learn the current state of the system in a vacuum. You go through and learn the history of decisions and constraints that got it there, the layer upon layer of changes that resulted in the end result in front of you.

I think the case law is pretty clear that you can have an organization that refuses to hire gay people because of religion or people who don’t follow a certain religion, even for jobs like janitor (as opposed to priest).
> there's a potentially huge untapped market that could be filled by whoever is the first company to make a small, simple, and cheap electric pickup truck.

Well, the third really; Ford made 1500 1998-2001 Ford Ranger EVs, and Chevrolet made a few hundred 1997-1998 S10 EVs. But yeah, one with modern batteries and drive trains and (therefore) decent capacity and range could sell a bunch.
There is a lot of money in being hired and promoted in the top unicorns, so its not surprising that when such a company allow a parallel lower-effort identity-based system of hiring and promotion some choose this path instead of more high-effort merit-based career development.

However, having parallel systems of promotion and hiring is causing resentment as well as mistrust that deteriorate organizations. What some workplaces are saying is that woke activism are negatively affecting the core mission, which is not surprising because to serve customers well a company need to build upon individual merit (not identity).
You would get 100% of the reward of one transaction, a price that you yourself paid. And that's fine, since memoization of the block is work that needs to be done. And the block would be valid if it was not missing any transactions. They would then update to your block, and would be back online. Except they would not have been considered offline.

Not that unusual in a university context to have the tools to do this available on-site, so it makes some sense they did it that way.

I haven't figured out why more people don't use pseudonyms in this era?

Of all times in history, this seems like the time to use a nom de plume?

I haven't figured out if it's ego preventing people from anonymity, or they think their name will eventually get out there---so why not happily sign my name to my work?

I do get it that publishing has vastly changed over the years.

It seems like the most talented writers will never get a book if they don't publish themselfs?

I'm not all that concerned with plastic recycling rates; I'm more worried about how much gets into the environment. Bringing recycling into the debate feels like misdirection, and I'm not sure why.
mRNA vaccines are not “gene therapy” in the popular sense of the term. They do not alter your genes in any way.

Calling vaccines gene therapy is like calling milk “pus” or saying you shouldn’t use a microwave because it has “radiation”.

It’s an appeal to an emotional response to a word. It’s one of the most annoying argumentative tactics.
>What? I can’t be the only one who works directly in order to fulfill my needs

well I do, but I've noticed that employers in interviews always want to know about how interested I will be in their problems and what I find attractive about their problem space and I get the distinct feeling they don't want to hear "if you pay my target wage I will be interested in what you want for 8 hours a day"
Schematics used to be included in user manuals for all consumer electronics.

Anyone capable of recreating an electronic device from schematics can easily reverse engineer such device from the board. They are not secret. Reverse engineering them is a little time consuming, but it's not hard. Circuit board design follows established conventions. I can fix boards without schematics.
If the right-to-repair includes making changes to the software it literally destroys the xbox business model and they might just have to start selling them at a reasonable profit instead of making money on the back-burner (to the tune of $600[0])[1].

I started using UEStudio (nee UltraEdit) close to two decades ago. Although I haven't upgraded it in many years because I just don't like the cartoonish UI that it now has, it's awesome for hex editing and the ability to select by rows & columns. I mainly use Sublime Text now as a day-to-day text editor, even though it doesn't even have the ability to easily print something (at least not on Windows)
It's funny you say that. I was toying with PHP not long ago and managed to squeze 50k requests per second on an old server using a pure php server library called Workerman.

And by squeze I mean copy 30 lines or so from their hello world tutorial and run: php start.php

You pay other criminals for enforcement, thus entrenching a crime culture.
That the research is often of poor quality is a consequence partly of perverse incentives, but primarily because there is no incentive currently to replicate research.

Give master's students at least the option of replicating research of a minimum quality/complexity. It would be an excellent exercise over the course of the degree, and these would still potentially count as citations for advisors. There would be fewer incentives to risk getting caught doing sloppy research, especially knowingly.

But I guess some of the collective pride in academia would need to be swallowed first.

I believe there is a certain obligation to dedicate resources to reproducing science, in that without affording as much, the institution itself will erode and eventually fail. In fact I think this has a lot to do with the fact that academia is in a far worse state than many people realize.
When did UltraEdit go subscription? :(
>"It's also quite lucrative."

Is 30% the most lucrative way? Putting ads and tracking would be the most lucrative way!
You don’t think that those third parties would move their apps to be exclusive to their stores?

The way it is now is very straightforward. If you want an app, you know where to get it. You know who’s vetted it. You know who’s handling your payment info. You (now) know what information about you is being gathered and disseminated.

Can you imagine how terrible a world where every App thinks it needs its own store would be?
For starters, if you can define a specific known crime being committed by a specific person. It is fundamentally wrong and you absolutely should bring it up at the right time and place.

If your accusations are about groups and the actions committed aren't specific actionable crimes that you are aware of, you're very likely in politics and/or advocacy.

Human decency is a very nebulous term when it comes right down to it. What I find right or wrong may not match what you find right or wrong. Without an agreed upon objective measure you can't define who is actually right - regardless of how clear or blurred the lines appear to you.

Without that objective measure, especially if debate skills are bad and participants are low on listening and high on fallacies, then it's really just an unproductive shouting match.
Pumps the brakes, my dude, it was a joke.
I think I used to agree with you in principle, but perhaps I’ve become more jaded. I don’t have a lot of faith in people to do the right thing, and I see libertarianism (which I believe you’re kind of arguing for, and which I used to support) as a very imperfect solution since it doesn’t deal effectively with parasitic elements in our society.

The world has also become too global, property rights for instance, are no longer simple issues. Also relying on them simply pushes the requirements for understanding science onto the judiciary branch.

Does 5G for instance trample my rights to have an EM free property zone? If it does, does that mean regulation allows 5G EM pollution along with air pollution? The rational voice says of course not since 5G is not pollution and yet we have a wave of people believing it also caused Covid.

Ultimately I’d argue still that better science education for all is a must in an increasingly complicated and connected world. I don’t think anyone could argue against that. We can fix whatever government issues we might have without also having to battle poor thinking and irrationality.

BTW, thanks for the insightful comments. Even if we disagree on some points it’s refreshingly not another conspiracy theory or idiocy, but actually well thought and articulated. So thanks!
> I think that, for example, plans including unmetered access for specific services are still a thing (say unlimited Facebook usage, exempt from regular data plan limits).

Ah yes, the infamous 'zero rating'... this is currently the only hole in the net neutrality regulation. However, apart from that, net neutrality is indeed a legal right in the EU.

I had this frustration with partial eggs. 100% of Swedish pancake recipe sites had this flaw. So I built my own: https://pannkakor.och.glass/

A lot of recipes also have volume measurements for melted butter instead of weight which is also frustrating. I built this banana bread recipe site for this: https://xn--bananbrd-t4a.och.glass This site also makes following the recipe much simpler and converted to metric :)
It's not impressive specifically because it won't follow through. There will be an initial sales surge (which will be very loudly touted), and it'll rapidly implode because it's a ridiculous vehicle that the masses of consumers will not want. The curiosity and gimmick of its look / design will implode very quickly, as is always the case and without exception when companies do things like that. It'll melt down to being a low volume sales space for Tesla, until or unless they do a normal or quasi-normal looking truck (and by that time they'll be running from behind).
> This should be a major responsibility of reviewers. So why aren't peer reviewers staying on top of the literature?

Perhaps because reviewing is unpaid work, both in the financial and academic sense?
How else should Epic compete? They can't reduce the price in line with their 12% cut vs steam's 30%, because steam doesn't allow games to have cheaper prices elsewhere.

Which now that I think of it seems anticompetitive from Valve.

That's not what the quote says. It clearly states that EACH company lost 60 employees. If the intent was to convey a sum then it would have needed to use words like "combined" "total" or "sum" or at the ambigous minimum noy included the "each" word that exclused the "sum" meaning from consideration.

Not my experience at all in the downtowns of NYC, Boston, Seattle, and SF. DTLA is a very unique downtown due to many factors specific to LA (mainly car culture taking away practical significance from the city center + the housing sprawl) and that doesn't generalize to most actual cities.
That depends how much it will expose from Valhalla, Vector 2.0 and cudaGraal.

maybe, but on the other hand Harrison was the technically most accomplished guitarist in the band and Lennon had commented that George was always asked to go jam with other musicians but he never was.

Ringo Starr is often considered one of the great rock and roll drummers.

Not outright cheating, but cooking results to seem better/surprising and publishing lots of those shitty papers is the optimal way to build a career in many fields. In medicine, for example.

I've found myself using the gender neutral reactions instead of the gendered versions despite not identifying with them as much just so my colleagues don't have to choose between incrementing an emoji that doesn't represent them and highlighting that they're different by adding their own gendered reaction.

But it'd be nice to not have to think about it the first place.
Mine have been within 60 days of close in the US. It’s all well handled if the acquirer has acquired businesses in the past.

The worst thing I’ve seen is when the leadership team of majority shareholders colluded to water down the rest of the employee-level shareholders in anticipation of the acquisition. Everyone got paid out, but it wasn’t at the levels people expected based on their previous knowledge of their equity value.

This isn’t as bad, but another common tactic was the leaders shift personal value towards themselves with high earn-out packages in lieu of a lower price tag for the acquisition. This applies more to smaller acquisitions.

The reality of a non-voting shareholder is that you don’t have much say in how the deal is done. My word of advice is to make sure you work for ethical leaders that truly care for people. This will help ensure that their good judgement is applied outside of just their own family and personal financial interests.
On a 2017 MBP with an i7 and 16GB of ram loading things over 500MB and then trying to search/edit them takes minutes per search term/edit. Frequently I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit and start over.

I thought it was the nature of dealing with large text files. I wonder why my experience with Sublime has been so bad.

The context of my use is dealing with gigantic log files/json files doing digtal forensics for the purpose of discovering malicious activity. I also use grep and a ton of other tools but sometimes when you aren't looking for a particular thing and you're just looking for weird stuff the best way to explore the data is with the raw files and a text editor. Unfortunately the editors I've used are painfully slow when the file sizes are large.
Hey! Glad to meet another member of our club :)

I unironically love CSS and I once got a contract gig doing nothing but CSS for a PWA, because their front-end dev didn't want to or couldn't (can't remember) do it
I'm genuinely curious how they plan to handle that. Not a lawyer, but this can't possibly be legal, can it? It seems like negligent libel at the very least, and maybe reckless endangerment?

I also can't imagine that the lawyers are unaware, so what's their angle?

The ideal scenario here is to make petty theft impossible, either via amazon go (adding some cubicle thing that doesn't let you enter without scanning your amazon account) or via some huge inventory system that only dispenses/unlocks items when you pay for them - but I doubt/wonder if this is even a thing, or if it's being worked on by some SF startup. Another option is that these stores shut down, everyone gets package lockers for their homes, and they buy everything, including groceries, via Amazon. Not the best state of the world.
Note that if you set `position: relative` on the container element, the button will stay in the right position no matter where the dialog (or whatever) moves later

Yes, I think it would make sense to provide a kit based on 3.8 instead, which does constitute a big enough improvement over 3.4 to drop some platforms, while remaining in support for years to come. For workstation use, I suppose XP is dead now—one may certainly hope so...

Another option is to use AI, like what Standard Cognition does. A customer registers a profile in the mantrap (via app, etc) and then is buzzed into the shop. The cameras just log whatever the customer walks out with — it doesn’t matter if they shove it in their pants or put it in a bag. Clerks in the store exist just for assistance.

It all gets billed to the customer’s account once they leave the store.

Ironically, their demo store is on 6th and Market next door to where Huckleberry bikes was.
While both 7 and XP are out of support, 7 has significantly more marketshare than XP and is still used by many people.
Sheesh this should be the top comment. Love it.
In my experience media queries are more often used incorrectly than correctly. Any responsiveness that can be modeled as a continuum should be; only truly discrete changes should go in a media-query. Something like, "The entire menu bar goes away and gets replaced with a touch-friendly version". They're good to know about, but they can be a footgun for beginners.
So, did you ever stop wishing and make the usefully-buttoned underwear of your dreams? :-)
I have two college age children and two high school age kids, and i work with a number of people right out of school, and that statement does not reflect my experience. Multiple recessions, 9-11, covid, climate change, social unrest due to racism and violence, and yet they are motivated to act as citizens with responsibility for their system of government. They work hard, are savvy about many things we never spoke of in the 1980s in North Carolina, trauma and difficulties of all sorts, and work to help each other. In a world where the older generations seem happy to condemn them to expensive education, economic and health insecurity, and all sorts of under investment in basic infrastructure, they are pragmatic and innovative in their efforts to improve the whole. They both see the insanity of the Leet Code gates, and develop many ways to master it.
makes sense! Screenshots are in the "real" resolution and not the "Looks Like" resolution. So that helps confirm that doubling the resolution/enabling HiDPI fixed the performance issue. Such a weird bug. Thanks for the write up.
