I would suspect that even fans of independent content would be turned off by browsing through a large amount of Wayback Machine links, because Archive.org insert their own markup, and often the images in posts don't get archived.

People like using the Wayback Machine when they know that certain content used to exist, but not necessarily to discover new things unfamiliar to them.
I live in South Harlem, and personally I like the Billionaire’s Row because it has created a new Midtown skyline that’s visible all the way across the length of Central Park.

They are not individually beautiful buildings, but the improbably narrow slivers are a reminder that this is a city that will try anything.

> Which mean the average New Yorker

I was once offered the chance to move to NYC (I live in Europe), I finally said no but one of the reasons for me to have said "yes" was the fact that the Mets were based in New York and I would have loved to go to their matches (one of those late Tuesday matches in July - early August where you can find $20 tickets up in the sky because by that time of the season the play-off chances are already gone). I only wanted to say that the Yankees are not the only baseball team in town, quite the contrary :)

> an idea similar to the one that he had, which, in retrospect, is more ridicule-worthy

Like I said, that isn't what was being ridiculed, nor why.

What was being ridiculed was a photo of him in the park with his typewriter, because the image was posted without context. Your story is in no way comparable, because in your case it's the idea of writing poetry that your girlfriend found derisible, not the idea of you sitting on a bench with pen and paper in hand.
The results indicate a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, beeswax and animal food products, complementing other archaeological evidence. The authors highlight some notable differences between rural and urban cuisines, including the greater frequency of grapes and dairy products in the rural site.
Indeed. I'm only encouraging you to go in with your eyes open, rather than discouraging you from trying altogether. Internet quality is definitely one of the downsides to living outside of major population centers, and I do respect HughesNet for managing to provide internet to so much low density space. I hope that starlink does become a solid competitor in these regions though once the kinks are worked out.
I want to acknowledge the great work that has gone into this tool, which seems to be practical and elegant. This blog post, though, has some needlessly provocative statements that distract the reader from the utility of tRPC.

The image of GraphQL's epitaph implies that tRPC is killing or will GraphQL. This is misleading: as you acknowledge in the text of the article, GraphQL is a specification that is language-agnostic. tRPC is not language-agnostic, nor is it a spec, so why use such stark imagery?

I also need to point out this snippet:

> But the vast majority of projects that use GraphQL are JavaScript-based. The graphql NPM module has 5M downloads/week vs ~300k) for the graphene Python module and ~230k for the graphql Rubygem. It's not a perfect metric, but the signal is clear.

I disagree that there's any clarity or signal to be had from these figures. Node, Python, and Ruby package management paradigms are all different. "It's not a perfect metric" is an understatement, and "the signal is clear" is an overstatement.

> As TypeScript approaches near-universal adoption in the JS ecosystem, that means most GraphQL-based projects will soon be TypeScript-based (if they aren't already).

Again, this is overstated. "Near-universal?" How could you possibly substantiate such an outlandish claim? I suggest you scale down the claim to "as TypeScript continues its rise in the JS ecosystem,".

But perhaps the most relevant hand-wavery in the entire article is as follows:

> Here's the thing: most people use GraphQL as a massively over-engineered way to share the type signature of their API with your client.

A citation is sorely needed here. My team is using GraphQL in a production app serving millions of users - its type system is great but only one of many features we're interested in.

Again, tRPC looks fantastic - it sells itself without the puffery and half-truths you've used in an otherwise excellent article.

I asked this from a Christian friend of mine. He said that the "uninitiated", like indigenous people will be judged by their conscience.

I told him that people in Iraq are 99% muslims and they definitely know about the existence of Christianity so they aren't really uninitiated. If I remember correctly, he said that if a culture poisons your mind to not believe in the Christian God, then you're still considered "uninitiated".
I'm in my late 40s and already feel that curmudgeon voice in my head. Ignoring it is harder and harder every year. New Internet sucks because it's too commercialized. New software sucks because it's all cloud based rather than native. New cars suck because you can't wrench them. New music sucks because everything sounds the same. New movies suck because they are made for people with a 5s attention span. Everything else sucks because it's more expensive than I remember. It feels truer and truer every year.

My newest car is late 2000's and that's also around when I stopped subscribing to new stuff and adding new things to my home media library. I look at my parents who are kind of culturally stuck in the 60s-70s, and then see myself getting more and more stuck in 90s-00s. Happens to us all I guess.
When I had the opportunity to do something with a Hololens (1st Gen) I was a bit hesitant as the subject matter seemed very difficult and I come from a very different background but when I went through the documentation, tutorials and played around with the SDK I was shocked how simple the SDK and how clear the documentation was.

Haven't worked with much MS things besides that but it left a very good impression.
Can't say what's worse.
So basically the first example is of a coin that was never launched and the chart is from some wildcat clone someone else launched. The second one took 3 weeks to reach peg but then did.

IDK, I DO think there's too much money flowing into crypto startups lately, but the article is about as poor as the dd of some in the space.
I asked one of my relative in the middle-east how working from home is for her. She said it was really tiresome and she was very unhappy. She works in the airline industry that has been the worst hit during this pandemic. A lot of people have been fired. So everyone else is expected to do more work now. One way they are exploiting work from home employees is to not fix any timing (in the name of flexible working hours) - so instructions are sent at any time of the day with the expectation that they need to be acted upon immediately or the same day, and the work pile is so much that you have to spend long hours - sometime way past midnight to complete it. She is now actually so relieved to work again at the office, as her work is now confined to the "normal" 9 AM to 6 PM. That was an interesting insight for me. And I now understand better why France and Germany have passed legislation (or are considering) on not calling or emailing employees beyond work hours (unless they are willing to pay over time pay).
I think the question is not whether people are willing to kill large numbers of animals to save a couple of humans, but whether we might have alternative methods that also save the humans, but with fewer dead animals. I mean, if we had no alternatives to eating animals, there would be far fewer vegans.
Really. All right, I'm looking forward to the author of dickbutt stepping up and claiming what's theirs.
The Rust apologists are numerous in these threads. Several people have told OP he should have reached out to ask the Rust community for help rather than writing a “passive aggressive” blog post. Is pointing out an undesirable behavior of Rust passive aggressive?

I had the same experience trying to use older versions of Rust or trying to use newer versions of rustc on older crates. It doesn’t “just” work. For many of us this coming from Go, this seems like a step backwards.

I’m thankful OP had the courage to post this note about his experience. I’m also disappointed to see members of the Rust community to suggest its a failing on OP’s part that they were not able to get Firefox to build and that bringing up this difficulty is something OP was wrong to do.
I think it's arguable what real investments are. How "real" is the stock price of Gamestop? Aren't most prices just driven by imaginary narratives? Investors rarely care about dividends.

There are also DeFi projects that are based what you call "real investments" such as stablecoins, synthetic assets for stocks and commodities, etc. When the backing/staking mechanism for these works as intended, they are just as real as any derivatives on these assets in the traditional financial markets.

Those attendance numbers are very out of whack due to covid. The Yankees routinely have 4 million fans come to games every year. Everybody in New York could go to a game every other year if you wanted to break it down like that.
Yes! Is there any way to make this happen? Or rather is there enough interest?
I wish tailscale would offer auth that isn't tied to the big SSO providers.
Passion comment: I'll second that most of Jonathan Levin’s books are outstanding, some of my favorite technical guides.

Spent many years as senior dev for a custom Android ROM, yet Levin's book still introduced me to multiple other Android internals I had not yet looked into. Would happily pay 200-300 for his next Android book. Probably not the best books for a total beginner, but if you're already skilled and looking for the next level I would highly recommend.

My only real complaint is that JL seems to do a lot of the marketing/date-setting himself, and it shows. It can be really confusing to keep current on what book he is working on next, what topics will/will not be covered, how to even pay for the book can be a bit complicated (send paypal to this email), etc. It is fantastic that he adjusts and expands book contents as the market/technology changes (e.g. always chasing to get the newest stuff covered in the newest book), but the current end result is a stream of "update" messages on his website that are hard to follow. Would be wonderful if he had someone help him with that "public-facing" side and try to keep things organized/consistent/obvious and hide a bit of "how the sausage is made"

I think the original statement was just too strong. Generally, people are religious even if they claim to be otherwise. I do however believe that truly non religious exist, but that most people are religious or spiritual in their thinking.
I don't know if it's what OP meant, but I'm imaging starting at the 50% mark, then jumping forward or back 25%, then jumping forward or back 12.5% etc, until you've zeroed in on the nugget of content in the sea of noise.

Might make a good browser plugin. Binary search, but for video. Tweaking the exact ratios might be an interesting problem. I'm thinking (no evidence!) that 30% for a forward jump and 15% for a backward jump might work better. Large jumps forward until you hit something interesting, then small jumps back to find the start.
A bit off topic but do you have any recommendations for learning Core Audio? Last time I was reading old blog posts and header files to do what I needed.
If you download his MSX rom, from https://nanochess.org/archive/karate2.zip and then unzip, and extract the karate2_msx.rom file, you can play it online.

https://webmsx.org/ is an online MSX emulator. Just click the "load files" link and give it the ROM file. Space bar and arrow keys for controls.
Hence the problem. Spam for example has ruined email to the point that only a few large providers control the majority of email flows, if you make them mad, you cant send email. Same thing happening with content.
OP here. A very similar tool I built prompted this question.
Indeed they change more than their zealous detractors, whose rigid mindsets cannot update priors despite abundant evidence contradicting their sacred beliefs, namely that the pious and meek are to be looked down upon, either pitied or scorned.
Agree. It would have been great if the old staff and servers would have merged with OFTC, but it seems this wasn't even considered at any point. Nothing seems to have changed in that relation. But oh well, just another network to connect to until everything has maybe moved off freenode.
Yes, but the point is that the rules were modded for her, but not for others on the list.
If you search for those images on Yandex it's very interesting how many similar images there are [0]. It's as if a lot of people find triangles, squares, line, ... in different colors with high artistic worth. These also remind me of a type of art which name I cannot recall that I saw in a museum once.

Marc Dalessio’s Learning Curve
I've found that the higher-level docs often don't even need to be writing per se. I'd stick things like the 3-5 minute overview video, 30-60 minute presentations, and code examples in this type of category.

Who maintains these? Most development teams I've met never bother checking the example code works. 99% of the time, they'll write up a presentation, once, click "record" on the video conferencing software, and everyone says "cool, it's documented". And then, 6 months later, half the presentation is obsolete, and it ends up being even more confusing because as the reader, you have to investigate what has changed since this presentation happened.

I've noticed, if you put some real thought behind maintaining these higher level docs, you don't end up with _tons_ of documentation. And the speed of adoption is rapid. But it takes design, a feedback loop, etc. It's really another kind of deliverable, separate from creating a software product itself.

Imagine you could go back to 0AD. And you ask the people why droughts happen, or why people get sick, or why volcanoes explode. Ask them why they are a slave, or a master.

There were religious answers to all these questions. God's were just the best explanation going for why things happened. And over the next 2000 years science slowly chipped away at that. And then the origin of species was published. To the point where in 2021 most people will have answers based on science. Even religious people.

Science has won the battle of ideas again and again. Religion has retreated into faith and existential fear. And slowly but surely science will shine a light on that fear.
There was no argument that could have been countered. You stated the opinion that you have not heard any argument yet that suffering actually should be minimized but did not list any of these arguments much less explained why you did not find them convincing.
There was nothing anyone could possibly have debated in a reasonable way.
Tech fiction: Digital dreams and disappointments in “The Startup Wife”
I have loved documentation for a long long time[0]. In my mind, as the developer continues to drive technology decisions[1], documentation in all its forms will continue to be a differentiator on par with functionality. Developers are learning all the time because their job is changing regularly, and good/excellent documentation is a competitive advantage.

w/r/t the article, I feel like engineers should write documentation, but so should product managers and customer service reps. I feel like both explicit (written by principals) and emergent documentation (forums) make sense.

It's an admittedly big lift, but if no one can figure out how to use your library/package/software, in the long run you'll be beat by folks who make it easier to do so.

> you don't need to see how your code fits into the whole.

GP said a whole, not the whole.

A subsystem, abstraction, or whatever, works as a whole, not as unconnected pieces, and the code needs to reflect the organization and concepts within itself as a meaningful whole.
I can be just as unproductive in an office as I can be at home.
I've noticed this as well. My solution was to prominently book morning workout/wellness time.
I’ve always considered unregulated advertising claims to be a reflection of the weakness of the product: A food with “Quality” in the brand name is almost always the low-shelf cheap version. “Comfort” in a motel means you’ll have a cheap bed and noisy, rattling air conditioning. Etc.

The unbridled crypto space is chock full of these signals.
I don’t see that anyone could have predicted the change of the past 20 years so it’s silly to think we can even guess at the next 20

For a start, when interest rates are not at (effective) zero:

In an independent, competently run central bank "money printing" generally only occurs during economic disasters, where the first thing that is generally done is that the central bank reserve rate gets cut.

Further, it should also be recognized that 99% of the "money" that is created in modern financial systems is done by private banks when they issue loans:

Good Luck getting any volume of personal flying cars. Planes move. If we have a large volume of flying cars we will have traffic jams in the air. Now a jam is easy in a car, you just park and creep - in the air how do you 'park?'
Anything that leaves you stationary in the air will consume about 5-10 times the energy of an airplane in flight(due to wing lift). The golden age of pulp Science Fiction magazines in the late 30's and 40's showed the sky full of flying machines - aurogyros and winged planes prior to helicopters and later on helicopters. It never came to pass. I believe a flying car in small volumes is possible, but not practicel. Cars are heavy massive road vehicles, planes are light and have a higher energy/weight than cars = $$, so for the few in some areas flying cars are doable. You could never have 10% of L.A. traffic carried by flying cars due to the air traffic control limitations of the area. A small number in rural areas are doable, but even then strict flight control will be needed. That said, a 'smart plane' could communicate with another similar plane to deal wit a lot of this ATC difficulty.

Versailles is the most successful tourist attraction in Europe, with 10 million visitors per year. I'm confident that if we had the ability to fully open the Royal Palaces and make the whole of the Royal Collection available for public view, tourism would go up, not down. Viewed this way, they're a hindrance to the country making money not a help.
They gave people a choice, and they chose. Why does no-one see this as a problem indicating that public transportation needs to be dramatically improved?

The point of even socialism is not to push existing solutions for everything and look at everything as a threat. The point is to improve people's lives, and letting people choose might be a right-wing method of accomplishing that, but you can't deny it's effectiveness.

Why aren't we dramatically improving public transportation? The fact that people chose not to use it means people judge their quality of life better with Uber than with public transportation. Use that, don't fight it!
You can live a completely healthy and nutritionally complete plant based life style though, and without consuming your body weight in anything. So if we don’t _need_ the animals to die for us, killing them is immoral. It’s immoral because it’s unnecessary.
I think it's easy to forget we're not the same people we were 20-25 years ago. I see all sorts of lamentations about various things in the world changing and becoming less magical. But as far as I'm aware, I could still go and argue about bands in chatrooms. I could talk to other writers and dream about my future best-selling novels. I could go read random opinions about any subject and get into an exhilarating flamewar about it.

I don't want to do any of those things. I'm in my 40s and I have 3 kids. The internet 15-year-old me experienced was magical because _I_ was a blank slate. Every new friendship was thrilling, every new skill opened up infinite horizons, every nook and cranny felt like somewhere I could belong. But life moves on. I'm more than half-way through my career, perhaps not the one I was expecting. I didn't marry the girl I met on IRC. I don't have strong opinions about Radiohead anymore. I find people, however delightful and kooky they are, quite tiring having got to know 10,000 of them at this point.

I know all this is true because my kids love the internet and find their place in it with all the joy I used to. And I'm pretty sure older generations frowning upon it all is part of the rush anyway.
