What do we need the transparency for? I can’t find any UX reason that would make such a screen better than a regular superthin opaque display with maybe holographic features.

Because the original posts are usually worse than the comments, so people talk about the comments. Most posts are just some crappy blog who wrote about a topic they just learned about or equivalent, while in the comments you see people who know what they are talking about and therefore don't feel the need to write a blog post about it but spending a few minutes writing a comment is fine.

If they would have simply done nothing, nothing at all then hardly anyone would have left. I wasn't planning on leaving freenode, there hadn't been any hard evidence of malice and I have no attachment to any staff.

If there's enough users in an IRC channel to have a decent conversation, and there's someone actively banning spammers and trolls, then that's good enough.

Now they went actively being aggressive about it, motivating me and probqbly most other previously disaffected people to make a decision. That user count will go down, he's an idiot for waving that banner so proudly.
Are there any more resources about immediate-mode GUI compared to retained-mode? I've read https://eliasnaur.com/blog/immediate-mode-gui-programming and I'm not sure I get it exactly. Is this because retained-mode toolkits don't offer enough control to developers so they want something lower level?

And now that it's ending there are, besides all the negative outcomes of course, some amazing benefits that have come out of the pandemic or at least were sped up:

- the breakthrough of RNA based vaccins

- a deeper understanding of how air based viruses spread (although much more research still needs to be done)

- a lot of practical lessons learned about managing global virus outbreaks

Which Vietnamese side?
I got the vaccine, but in retrospect, I should have waited. I should have gotten antibody tests first.

A few things: my odds of dying from COVID in a given year are about the same as me dying in a car crash— and that is given the admittedly liberal COVID death stats.

My very strong reaction to the first dose (the only one I took, in the end) suggests that I already had COVID and didn’t know it. It probably makes sense to test for antibodies before taking the vaccine. If you’re in a low risk category and have antibodies, I’d pass on the vaccine.

The vaccine was rushed by all accounts, and I have personally participated in drugs that are now banned due to side effects not detected during more rigorous trials. It may take a long time before we know of serious side effects from the vaccines. On the other hand, it will take a long time before we can be confident the vaccines have no serious side effects (whose manifestations are delayed). No one knows at this point because due process was tossed (for good reasons).

I think the rational thing to do is to look at what statistical group you are in. If you are high risk, get the vaccine. If not, wait.

All of that to say, folks who are hesitating are not illogical antivaxers. I’ve got good friends with PHDs in microbiology and bioinformatics who are informed, intelligent, and divided on the topic. It’s plainly not black and white.
Check the context. The person I replied to is claiming there's "zero evidence" Fuchsia will replace other Google OSs which is obviously wrong.

Why would you be friends with someone like that?

Millions of innocent people died for nothing, and the US learned nothing, and did it all over again many times, because so many Americans, like your friend, were unwilling to concede that there was anything wrong with Vietnam.

Suppose your friend were instead an injured Al Qaeda member who felt Al Qaeda was right. Would you accept that?

But the US has killed _hundreds_ of times as many innocent people as Al Qaeda - ten times as many just in Vietnam.
I don't think it's sensational to say that North Vietnam won and South Vietnam lost.

That's why the comment is specific about what the writer wants to hear; his apology in Mandarin apologized repeatedly for making a mistake but didn't specifically say what the mistake was or say that Taiwan belongs to China.
Comments like "Functional Programming solves simple problems in a complex way, "Abstractions in FP tend to be all over the place." or "If you don't care about structure, why not just write the entire system as a single file and define thousands of functions which call each other all over the place?" don't really invite polite discussion. To me they look like you either are reacting on pure emotion, or don't understand what you are writing about (note that this opposite of "accurate"). It also seems that you think that I'm whatever you believe "functional programmers" are.

If there's something we maybe agree on, it's that enforcing pure functionality (I guess that's what you're writing about. If you think functions as first class objects is bad, you're incorrigibly wrong) is about as bad as maximal OOP that Martin is preaching. There's a lot of space between these two extremes if you're willing to look. And a lot of money to be made by sticking to an ideology and preaching it.
Honestly, this is kind of a blessing in disguise. Before there was ambiguity between where to go, what had legitimacy or continuity of service issues for certain channels weighing up switching costs. This sort of stuff puts a line under things.

I think he's probably talking in the context of the United States because you can't say that the world's misery is over. India, for example, is still experiencing bad numbers. If anything, if he had said the world's misery is ending, that would be US centric.
Both of those were true pre-COVID and houses prices were not going up nearly as fast as they are now. People staying in their houses makes them actually pay attention to where they're living. Some end up wanting to renovate and some people just want to move.

It's a high demand low supply time so prices increase and interest rates don't have much to do with that.
You have to admit though, the US does have a history of producing good music.
> the main driving factor is very low interest rates and massive amounts of credit.

This doesn't tell the whole story. Low interest rates don't make people offer 150k over asking while waiving all contingencies. I'm closing on a home soon and I saw this kind of stuff. I myself went 25k over with all contingencies waived on a condo in a 100 year old multifamily building. Relatively speaking, I was quite lucky to get this condo for this cheap.

There's a legitimate demand here: people, like myself, who renewed a lease on a tiny apartment shortly after the pandemic started then spent a miserable year indoors.

My experience is:

Drivers tend to assume bikes are traveling about 10mph, or stationary. They get really surprised when you’re going faster.

Drivers assume that bikes are 2 dimensional, and don’t have a width. Bikes should be able to be squeezed into the space between any two lines on the pavement.

Drivers assume that their car ends somewhere around the back of their head, and as long as they can’t see you forward, they’ve managed to pass you and can move back in. This is especially obnoxious when they’re towing a trailer.

What you’ve built is effectively an underpowered motorcycle, with all the safety that they provide.

You can point out the fallacy or you can explain why the argument doesn’t hold. People that debate by yelling out the names of logical fallacy’s are point scoring and look disingenuous. If you actually engage with the substance and explain why the argument is wrong without invoking talismans people tend to be more receptive. Basically don’t make people feel dumb if you want them to engage rationally.
Augmented reality use? Hold the terminal over some wiring and get an overlaid schematic?
Maybe that's the difference: human beings think abstractly and chimps don't? So we remember the abstract, but they simply retain images?

If you think about it, there's nothing especially mysterious about good memory per se if we view it as something like writing things down or a recording. You have to put effort into destroying the memory. Degradation is comparatively slow. So to judge how good (or conversely, bad) memory is, you have to determine what the goal is and the "architecture" implementing it. Recalling recent images that are destroyed shortly after being recorded vs. a mind map of conceptual relations, for example.

We don't need them. They're popular because they allow to film the actor and the screen simultaneously.

My personal take: transparent displays are a lazy trick of film makers who overestimate the importance of characters in science fiction, and underestimate the importance of setting.

A proper real-world use of transparency would be Augmented Reality - i.e. overlaying contextual UIs on top of the real world the user sees through the glass/hologram.

Especially industrial husbandry is an invitation for diseases to spread and maybe manage to jump to humans. In severe cases, mass culling is the only way to stop epidemics among farmed animals. Which affects the price of animal products. Unless our governments subsidize that away...
I’m in the process of memorising this and reading The Odyssey after listening to poet Dana Gioia talk about poetry memorisation’s ability to shape the heart on the Tyler Cowen podcast.

I very much identify with the poem’s depiction of the wear of time and it’s resistance by impervious optimism and dare (as said here by jandrewrogers) and I want to make it more part of myself.

I can recite about a third so far, from the start and the end. I started with the end because that’s what I first heard in Skyfall.
Electric motors might produce consistent torque but that torque isn't as high as you need for a truck. Certainly not without a transmission. Fuel cells might be more efficient than ICEs but you ignore power to weight ratios, performance degradation and total useful life. Also there's the total cost of the vehicle to consider.
Personally I dislike both hydrogen and electric vehicles on the grounds of safety. 50kg of hydrogen will produce a pretty devastating explosion in seconds. You've seen teslas burn so you know that side too.
At this moment the only thing we gain by converting conventional vehicles to electric or hydrogen is less local NOx and particulate emissions and offsetting them with more emissions elsewhere. These technologies would make a lot more sense if we could source cheap electricity from renewable sources, and we don't. Wind and solar make up an impressive 11% of total electricity production in the US but if you account for storage requirements we're still decades away from anything resembling the dreams of a low carbon economy. It's consumers and pop-sci that's driving this change, and that's not necessarily a good thing.
There are specific steps to take to make sure that cars see you, and most of them involve moving around in the lane.

If you look at the hydra API example[1] linked by OP, this is exactly what it needs: one entrypoint URL.

If your API only needs a single domain name (as over 99% of the APIs are), clients can just have the base URL encoded in a constant or a configuration file.

What HATEOAS ostensibly gives you is not the ability to painlessly switch domains, but rather to change your entire URL path structure and even the entire schema represented by your REST endpoints.

This feature turns out to be quite useless for most REST clients. Cosmetic changes to URL structure aside, any useful change (in other words - a schema change), will break the client logic, which is still hard-coded to deal with a predefined schema, predefined types of resources and a predefined set of actions that can be performed on each of them.

Roy Fielding accurately notes that a truly "RESTful" app should let the engine of its state be completely driven by the server. In other words the client cannot have any _specific_ logic related to "state transfers".

If your client is not doing this, like a browser does, than what does it have left to gain from implementing HATEOAS? I'm honestly interested in hearing good arguments, since I haven't heard anything that managed to convince me yet.

I've always worked all my API up to level 2 (HTTP Verbs) of the Richardson Maturity model, but I've never felt convinced that HATEOAS is worth the effort. It seems like the majority of HTTP API designers out there have the same opinion.

OMG yes. The "gate" in its name is really apt. ResearchGate adds zero value but non-zero barriers to access.
If animals had a language we would have discovered it a long time ago and we would have learned to communicate with them. The reason we can't communicate with them is because they are dumb. Some of them might have big brains, but all of them lacks the kind of rational reasoning needed to learn and speak any language at even the level of a toddler.

I mean, you can teach animals words, but you can't teach them how to structure thoughts to create meaningful longer conversations.

You're misrepresenting what I'm saying. I put "epidemic" in quote marks for the reason you suggest. The argument that an epidemic ends when people get used to it is in itself nonsense. You need declining severity to an acceptable baseline too, and there's no guarantee that will happen with COVID. I mean you wouldn't replace a vaccination campaign with a "just get used to it" campaign, right? Although many people have actually tried to suggest that now that I think about it...

Three things that helped my reasoning skills and rationality:

- programming / applied maths;

- being forced to memorise ~20 logical fallacies in high school;

- growing the hell up and learning that being right just doesn't matter.

The third point was the most important. As a child / teenager, I always wanted to win discussions. Even if I knew I was wrong, I'd use every trick in the book to try and win an argument nonetheless. Then, I started studying computer science and I met a lot of highly neurotic people who wanted to be right no matter what. I obviously found them extremely annoying before I realised I was in fact one of them.

The very words you use ("You see the many flaws of the enemy camp and don't see as many in your own") are the ones I now try to avoid at all times, because viewing the other as the enemy is what really messed up my reasoning skills.

Learning to treat a discussion as a genuine learning opportunity has been a huge blessing for me.

My read of the situation is that Ariadne was more or less correct; running Freenode was a childhood dream for Andrew, he mistakenly believed he could get there with money and strongarming, the community rejected him and refused to provide validation, and now he's increasingly trying to keep the community from leaving him by force.

FWIW, Klingon ships were famously dark in the Star Trek's golden era, and also full of vapor/smoke obstructing vision. Obviously, this was done to make them seem more menacing. However, some fans - myself included - adopted an in-universe explanation: Klingon eyes respond to a slightly different slice of the EM spectrum than human ones; their ships are well-lit, just on the wavelengths imperceptible to us (probably infrared, and the dark reddish illumination we see is just what bleeds over to human-perceptible wavelengths), and the vapors are transparent on those wavelengths too.

Do you have any sources for diseases spreading from industrial husbandry which led to epidemic problems? This speculation is repeated over and over again, but is it really true or just speculation?
Whether dead-code elimination would remove whole functions depends on some basic assumption of the tool doing it --- usually a compiler. Some languages are considered closed worlds whereas others are usually considered as open worlds, e.g. Smalltalk, Java and Lisp. Under an open world assumption, everything that could be called by some code added later has to be retained. Some tools nevertheless apply a closed-world assumption to an "open world language" and take additionaly arguments what to consider entry points that should be retained. An example for such a tool is Proguard in the Java world.
The flu has a "baseline death rate" it reached after coevolving with humanity. We don't know what tha baseline will be for COVID, and we don't know if we will deem that acceptable or not.
I went to a store recently and asked why they haven't a product I ordered a time ago, listed on the website anymore. She said, she used pictures from the producing company. But now she got a letter, so she is now not anymore allowed to use the pictures. She can't make all pictures by herself because there are so many models and colors, so she just stop sell products from that brand complete. I didn't ask if it was really the company itself or just a lay firm.
