I don’t know what’s going on here either with masks.

30-50 year old adults outside, alone, in direct sunlight, exercising, dozens of feet away from anyone else are still wearing masks. No doubt they’re fully vaccinated by now as well.

And multiple times a day you see people driving alone in cars wearing masks.

Just the other week, we overheard a young girl commenting on a woman not wearing a mask, “she’s a bad person, isn’t she mommy?” “No, she’s not a bad person, just inconsiderate”, the mother replied. This was in response to a fully vaccinated adult walking in a state park alone, in broad daylight, 3-4x father away than social distancing guidelines require.

I’m glad we took COVID seriously here earlier and longer than most states, but now that several states are reporting 0 deaths and vaccination rates are climbing the fear of an explosion of cases should hopefully be subsiding.

In the beginning comparing mental health to a potentially uncontrolled global pandemic I think was a serious misunderstanding of how exponential growth works, but now that the pandemic is getting under control it makes sense to weigh mental health more heavily.

I think it will be successful, for a reasonable definition of success (e.g. fulfilling a dream of designing a computer and turning a small profit in the process). There is some precedent for this: retro-like computer games, for both modern computers and the original hardware; peripherals that support vintage computers; vintage computer clones that are based upon emulation or FPGA; hobby computer kits offering similar specifications. While none of those examples are the same, they demonstrate that people are willing to spend money to recreate rather than replicate an earlier era of computer history.
A fascinating read! And very well written.

To be honest this just sounds like you're used to whatever Apple is doing and nothing Google would do (except outright copy iOS) would feel "ok" for you.

That's fine - we get used to stuff and rant when it changes in ways we don't expect. But the beta on my Android phone looks amazing and IMO better than iPadOS I have on a tablet.
Thanks for sharing – the writing and pointer to permaculture is inspiring.
The stakes are lower. As a CTO (hypothetically) I get to hire 4 junior devs, 2 senior, and 1 architect.

Hire the wrong junior? No biggy, he'll be less effecient but we may yet turn him around. Anyway, I get three more tries. Anyway, he'll leave after 2 years. They always do.

Hire the wrong architect? I'm stuck with him, for a very long time. Moreover, I now have the wrong guy for a high-impact job. And one that is very visible.

So you betcha I'm going to be much more picky, the more senior the job becomes.

Some anecdata, I buy midrange cards and never try to sell them. They usually end up in the machines of friends or family.

The purchase price is what I am willing to spend on the device and it's usage, and a healthy dose of pragmatism about what is actually necessary.

I also overclock to stretch their usefulness out but I must admit the leaps in each generation recently, as well as some fundamentally new technology capabilities mean I am not keeping up as well.

There seems to be a huge amount of positive feedback, both from media and Android users, so it's not an unpopular opinion at all. It seems to mostly be unpopular opinion between existing iOS users :)

Yep, I followed the guide here: https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide

Means I can SSH into any box that has that key on it, or push/pull repos from anywhere as long as I have a yubikey with me.

I also used https://www.jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/ to make a backup, and have that and a spare yubikey stored elsewhere securely.

(You can create the key on the yubikey directly, but then I think it's not possible to have a backup yubikey)
> more liberal cities like SF will lay the price

This is a tricky problem because housing people isn't free (there is an argument that it saves money on ER bills), housing homeless people in SF is an incredibly inefficient use of money, but at the same time, you don't want cities to be bastions of wealth that outsource their poverty. Action also has to be done at the regional level, or else you'll get a TL situation where homelessness is isolated to one area. Even regional alignment isn't enough, though; the fact that the Bay Area has relatively good homeless services attracts more homeless. Federal housing projects aren't a good answer, either, and least not in the US, because of their history.
World first concept for rechargeable cement-based batteries
Imagine an entire twenty storey concrete building which can store energy like a giant battery.

Researchers from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering recently published an article outlining a new concept for rechargeable batteries – made of cement.

Man, who would have thought "not yelling at your employees isn't an accomplishment" would be controversial...

> Should the anti-slavery campaigners of the 1800s receive no admiration, despite social norms at the time, because vocal opposition to slavery "should be the bare minimum"?

Not even close to the same. This case would be like admiring all the people that happened to not own slaves. Congrats?

Anti-slavery campaigners were doing way more than the bare minimum. No one lost their lives over just not having slaves.

> What about companies now that go out of their way to make sure none of the workers in their supply chain are exploited? That should be the bare minimum - should we ignore the effort that they've gone to?

Not even close to the same. This case would be like admiring the factory manager for not exploiting their employees. Congrats?

> What about a family member who's been clean from drugs for 10 years? Should we celebrate with them, or just ignore their achievement because not being addicted to drugs is pretty much considered the bare minimum by broader society?

Maybe if yelling at employees was incredibly physically addictive.

Literally my whole point is that you all are saying, "Wow, it's so admirable that you're not a piece of shit!".
For better or for worse, being functional and having good (visual) design can often be measured distinctly. Ideally they go hand-in-hand (i.e., good visual design ought to positively serve functionality). Most of Android’s visual design, regardless of functional convenience and consistency, feels cobbled together by people who downloaded Inkscape. The typography, iconography, animation, etc. are, in my opinion, all off.

So, you think poor people shouldn't be allowed to play games?
I disagree. You really have to appreciate the scale of Apple’s efforts, and look beyond iOS, which everybody always gets fixated on. This is much broader than “I prefer how iOS looks”. Their documentation, hardware, software, marketing, audio communications, videos and commercials, stores, clothing, packaging, etc. exude consistency and extraordinary care to visual design. Apple’s design is pervasive and truly their identity. As I said elsewhere, they’re not perfect, but I’d claim with enough effort and without any logical gymnastics, we could measure this vague idea to be at least an order of magnitude greater than Google’s.

An FPGA implementation is missing the big educational aspect though, namely that this product probably intends for it to be feasible (just like it was with the 8 bit computers back then) to fully understand the hardware, prod it, modify it, and interface to it. Usually up to IC boundary, but the key there is that the ICs are distinct and (hopefully) not too complex.

Even a fully "open" modern platform is usually just way too complex, integrated, and often full of abstraction layers.

With an FPGA, you in theory have that within the FPGA design itself for the most part, but it's still integrated and wrapped away so much that the directly relationship between current and logic, and things like an actual external bus with traces you can probe and hook into, is just not as tangible.

This is not an either/or. You need both an increase in the monetary base and a supply-shock catalyst to get significant inflation. Loose monetary policy is like leaving the gas on. A supply shock is like lighting a match. Both of them together makes things go boom.

They are indeed economic parasites. Much like landlords, they are not doing any useful work, not contributing to society in any way, but sitting on their ass expecting to collect a free paycheck while other people work.

I’m surprised that there’s no standard way to get a server SSH public key via HTTPS. I have to google for the gitlab key fingerprint and the expected result is not easily found, just to ensure that my first SSH connection is secure.

When the mask enforcement was lowered in Australia I found myself wearing a mask where I didn't have to. It's such a small thing it wasn't worth taking it off while driving for a few minutes alone, or sitting somewhere away from people. I don't find people going further than necessary weird.

> a fully vaccinated adult

Being vaccinated isn't a perfect protection. I'd probably opt to wear a mask anyway if unvaccinated people around were forced to wear one. Wouldn't describe people not doing that as inconsiderate though.
This is what you get when things like mask wearing start to become more of a social display than a rational decision. Most of the actual evidence shows outdoor infection to be close to zero, unless you’re close up at a concert or bus stop.

But now mask wearing is some sort of way of displaying that you are a good person. It’s also a way for frustrated people who want to control others and be outraged to be able to vent their frustration at other people, in a socially acceptable way.

It’s not good. And I say this as someone who’s worn a mask for a year now. I’m not against them. But they’re not being worn for rational reasons any more.

No, you can be existentially important to the company and still not produce market rate worth of value.

Example: Virtual Widget Co has one employee. The company makes $120k/year in revenue (and so max cap for compensation is ~100k/year because of whatever other costs). If the employee leaves, the company would not be able to continue and will fold. However, the employee is one of the 10 from my previous example, to minmax their own income they should leave the company despite being indispensable to it/the company folds after they leave. No other qualified person would apply for this job either. In fact, it might even be that the average unqualified person’s wage is far below 100k but even that doesn’t help.

A better statement would be “Virtual Widget Co shouldn’t exist because it doesn’t have a viable business proposition”. But this can be counterintuitive in the context of 40% unemployment (4 out of 10 in my example). A more real-world analogy would be “lots of businesses are viable only in the presence of slave labor.”
One thing that I'd like to add is that using the typed GADT encoding of the AST lets you write a total eval function such as eval :: AST r → r, no need to return a Maybe or Either! In the case without GADTs you couldn't return a boolean in one case and an Int in another. Here you can.

It was perfectly reproducible.

The original symptom was very low throughput, which is what prompted the investigation . Without tcpdump, low throughput and high reordering, with tcpdump, high throughput ( which is why I couldn't figure out what was going on).

Active Learning via Ensembles
Mining crytprocurrency isn't "earning" income. Doing work is warning income. Crypto miners are about as useful as landlords - they shouldn't exist and don't deserve any money
Yes, for typical corporate development tasks which is the bulk of the tech job market. As long as they are reasonably seasoned vs what you need done and you don't throw them in to the deep end on day one. Every language has quirks and corner cases but after you've learned enough of them, the oddities don't tend to trip you up for very long. Learning the specific frameworks and business knowledge tends to be the lions share of the learning that needs to happen... takes longer but also not a big deal.

Realistically, the majority of developers spend their days doing rather mundane work with CRUD/data-munging probably being a good description for most of it (regardless of whether it's server/desktop/mobile/web) which isn't rocket science. Now if you need an expert to write a memory management system for language X on OS Y, that's a different story.
In the approach described in the blog post, you only need two use*: `useValues` and `useAction` to pull in values and actions from the data layer. Nothing else. No local state with `useState`, no `useEffect` or `useRef` or anything else for interacting with your data. So in effect React == two hooks and JSX.
I definitely get this with speaking foreign languages - English feels like a second mother tongue to me at this point, but even though I can create Spanish sentences, I get choked up when about to speak.
Yes, in a perfect world, you'd be absolutely right.

A lot of companies choose not to do process oriented work, and just wing it instead because they believe they can go faster. That's fine. It's a choice driven by resources.

What's not fine is complaining that someone you hire is "bad" because they get stuff wrong when you're forcing them to work without a process-based safety net. People will always make mistakes. If your belief is that everyone should be perfect because you've chosen the no-safety route then you don't get to complain when someone nearly sinks the company. Expecting people never to get things wrong is unreasonable, and it's the exact reason why we have processes to catch problems.
