As a non-American who has visited for a total of four months, east and west coast, the political differences between America and other countries are way broader and deeper than just a few superficial memes. Especially those from young activist personalities, personalities which are present and busy in many other countries, each of which has its own zeitgeist.

Your roads are scarily broad while your sidewalks are narrow and sometimes just stop suddenly; everyone seems to have a car even if they shouldn’t; the rules of the road seem to be treated as suggestions (at least for cars — jaywalking is verboten), while also being a source of arbitrary revenue precisely because everyone treats them as suggestions; “family” is a much stronger trope in America than in the U.K. or Germany, yet “I love you daddy” is a real Valentines’ day card I’ve actually seen, in a supermarket with many others like it in different variations of phrase and relative; guns feel like a trivial hobby or possession barely worth mentioning, and suggesting even the slightest of limits to the right to bear arms is one of the quickest ways to be compared to a 20th century dictator and some of the critics insisting “a well armed society is a polite society”; your billboards are covered in adverts for loans to cover bail costs, yet sex is hidden away; you’re as loud about Christianity as a minaret is about Islam, far more so than the churches and cathedrals I’ve seen around Europe; there is a constant bombardment of adverts for insurance and health products I don’t see elsewhere (everything from magic drugs to teeth so straight and white they could be a metaphor); there are regional things like the Californian everything-causes-cancer warnings matched only by one British tabloid newspaper; and yes, race related issues are so much louder and in-your-face that even I couldn’t miss them.

(I know the U.K. seems weird to visiting Americans, because they’ve explicitly told me. But the U.K.’s weirdness is different to yours, just as the cultural pain-points are).
He's not wrong in some cases. If bandwidth cost from Next->Client exceeds cost from DataSource->Client, then you want to opt out of SSR, to avoid DataSource->Next->Client in favor of direct DataSource->Client during CSR.

Example: Next deployed to AWS (metered bandwidth), with DataSource deployed to colocation (unmetered bandwidth). Page fetches 1GB CSV from DataSource in order to render an HTML Table. In this case, you likely prefer the client to fetch directly from DataSource and render the HTML table during CSR. An exception might be if you care about the table for SEO purposes (e.g. structured data) – but in that case, you should find a way to fetch the first 10 rows instead of 1GB.

It's a fairly niche use-case, though, and it's easy to opt out of SSR for specific code/requests (check if window is defined) or pages (use Next getServerProps vs. getStaticProps).

As an aside... this convoluted scenario highlights one criticism I have with Next.js: It is NOT a friendly mental model for junior engineers. You cannot write a robust Next app without a thorough understanding of the HTTP request lifecycle, network architectures, closures, database/HTTP pools, caching, cookies, etc. If you stay within the lines, you can avoid worrying about most of this stuff, but it's impossible to fully grok Next without a strong background in web fundamentals. If I were advising a beginner on the best stack for practicing React, I would suggest starting with create-react-app, even though I think Next is ultimately the best production framework.
It also makes "Hyrum's Law" pretty useless, doesn't it? Who names something like that after themselves? Well, I know at least one such case.

They don't use bing for the most part, they have their own crawlers and their results are far better than nearly any other competitor. I have been a happy user for the past two years.

They use Bing for their ad network, and to sometimes (rarely) produce results when their own crawlers fail.
> 4,000 troops to Syria to fight against Israel in the Yom Kippur war

Supporting Arabs retaliating against an illegal land grab by Israel.

>They also probably didn't send troops into Somalia

Helping Ethiopia defend itself against aggression from Somalia, the issue of which was caused by western meddling and colonialism.

>nor support the MIR and FPMR to destabilize Chile.

Supporting forces revolting against the horrible Pinochet dictatorship.

Really, why list any of this when we are talking about unwanted CIA intervention, which usually backed murderous right wingers? Cuba's interventions were at least battling western imperialism and had the support of part of the local populations and not just the rich land owners.
As a Jew in Israel, I've grown quite skeptical of these Israeli startups. On multiple occasions, some of these founders have been caught doing shady things and they get away with them (mostly)...

In general these israeli startups tend to be way overvalued

They are removed from all of that, and don't care about prices. It's beyond them.

So they just give you a number.

Because there is this big 'goodwill' aspect to healthcare, the professions don't think about it as capitalist, but the hospital is actually pretty aggressive and take advantage of the goodwill aspect.

The US needs a massive overhaul there and it's not about socialism or capitalism, but about simple and hard regulations.
There is more to it than the post-war social-democratic systems in Western Europe. Going back centuries there was never a way to up and move to an uncontrolled space and start anew like on the American continent. The entire European continent was under tight control by whatever authority there was whether church or feudal, with restrictions on movement, residence, and labor.
It's interesting that these classes have a particular character to them, and they are also coincidentally the core math "service" courses for engineering, the hard sciences, and pre-med students. The fun isn't allowed to begin until those kids are gone. Also, the accreditation requirements for those disciplines makes it very hard to change the lower level math curriculum.

To help my kids stay interested in math, I offered them the following promise: "Suspend your judgement until you get a chance to do proofs, because proofs are when math comes alive." One of my kids became a math major.
Yeah but the diplomatic disaster would have far more entertaining visuals.

We have figured out how to avoid being tracked.

Hide your IP address behind Tor. Transmit identical information as a significant group of people. Don’t store information from websites.

The issue is that degrades the web in ways unrelated to tracking.
I try to never write a comment about anything that I've already written in code. I only add information that is necessary to know to run the code but is not in the code.

I do it like this as I think that conceptually duplicating code logic through e.g. comments can be dangerously imprecise. E.g. when someone changes the code (and not the doublicating comment), there are no checks in place for this mismatch of code and comment to be caught by e.g. a test.

It's hacking, sure. Just like using a hex editor to enter machine code directly. It's not C code, though, despite what the author claims, and it's not showing some clever way to hack C code that makes the author look Klever. SO go ahead an be impressed some something that isn't what it claims to be and doesn't do what it claims to do.

Resistance isn't immunity. It's possible there are some people with innate 'resistance' to rabies.

"HIV, untreated, is very deadly, but not nearly as deadly as rabies."

You might want to look up the definition of deadly. They both lead to death at a high rate - HIV at 100% eventual fatality and 99.9+% for symptomatic rabies. Again, pre and post exposure treatments for rabies are much more effective than for HIV. HIV has a higher fatality rate and less effective pre and post exposure curative treatment. It's pretty easy to compare 100% to 99.9% and know which one is bigger.

No, the study did not find that. The study for some reason decided to combine the us and Canadian answers.

I do agree this is an important factor, but there are various well-known counter examples, so "NEVER" seems far too strong.

Google was significantly better than anything else at the time, and in spite of the problems with Google, its search result are still quite a bit better than most others I've tried.

GitHub was a huge improvement over anything that came before it, and after a review of alternatives some months ago it still clearly is the best product IMO.

Internet Explorer was a lot better than Netscape. Yes, it was a mess, but Netscape was an even bigger mess.

There are probably other examples.

Double-clicking in, looking at France, Germany, Italy, Spain: only Germany has sub-20% unemployment (better than the USA actually).

This seems to contradict your point. Where are you getting 1-4% from? I'm not sure if there's a "definition of unemployment" difference going on here?
>But the people/populations using more sunscreen are also having more skin cancer

Um, you missed the most obvious explanation (assuming that's even true): People who have an elevated risk of skin cancer (due to geographic location and/or skin type) are likely to use more sunscreen for that very reason, but despite their sunscreen use they're still at an elevated risk of cancer because sunscreen cannot eliminate all risk.

It's really no different than saying that people who are receiving more IV chemotherapy are also dying of cancer more often than people who aren't.
I splurged on the 13.3" Onyx BOOX Max Lumi for largely similar reasoning: I do a lot of reads of older materials with poor-quality scans, and wanted to be able to read as many of those at full-screen rather than zoomed resolution. I also had concerns with the size of the device.

I'm happy with my purchase, though with experience, I'm happy to suggest trade-offs.

Onyx's product line is based around 7.8", 10.3", and 13.3" e-ink screens. Those are what their vendor offers, so it's what Onyx bases its builds around.

My previous experience was with a 9" emissive (OLED) Android tablet, which saw principle use as an e-book reader (the only application to which it's well-suited), with portrait-mode presentation of books and articles working fairly well. It was hard to read in bright light, with overhead lighting (screen glare), or, of course, outdoors.

The jump to 13.3" e-ink at 220 ppi makes even low-quality scans of small-print materials readable at full size (without zooming). There are a few specific cases that really impressed this on me. Many books can be read landscape mode, 2-up, which is also good.

The device is large, about the size of an A4 or Letter-sized paper tablet. This is just about at the maximum size for comfortable in-hand viewing, and you might prefer a smaller device. It packs easily into my courier pouch.

If you don't wanto to spend the $800 (over $900 when you include stylus and cover), you can shave a a few hundred on a smaller device with some compromises in reading convenience. There's an in-page navigation that will scroll either in "reverse-N" or "Z" mode, for articles or comics, respectively, dividing the page into four regions (a 2x zoom). This makes virtually any material readable, at a cost of not being able to see the full page in a single glance. Even with a 10" or 8" device, you'd likely only have to engage this for a portion of your reading. Most books are readable at 100%, and even many articles. You can also trim margins to increase the size of the actual text on the page.

Battery life is quit good (I get a couple of days per charge, but use the device for much of the day, what I'm spared is any battery anxiety), performance is quite good, the display is delicious.

The notetaking feature wasn't something that attracted me to the device but it has turned out to be surprisingly useful and appealing.
Most documentation in dynamic languages I've encountered (like JS) have been wordy attempts at documenting function arguments. This almost always falls short of the goal. Describing object shapes and types is difficult in documentation, especially in languages that mutate objects willy-nilly. TypeScript and mypy are really essential documentation tools for that reason; they liberate developers from the Sisyphean task of describing object shapes and mutations and lets them write documentation that is actually useful.
In WW2, Britain was initially overwhelmed by the Nazi Germany aggression. They did have a strong military and intelligence know-how, but that was not enough.

That is when they decided to request the help of the US. The US assimilated much of Britain's military technology via the Tizard mission.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tizard_Mission

From that close collaboration, the US also assimilated much of the British intelligence know-how and created institutions that mirrored the goals of British intelligence institutions.

The predecessor of the CIA was meant to be an equivalent of the British MI6.

That is to me the true start of the CIA, NSA, etc.

The improvements I'm aware of include (1) storing some extra information, (2) splitting the query into multiple phases to move the bulk of the Ω(N) cost out of the hot path, and (3) reframing the problem (an actual database lookup can't be improved, but similar constructions might still satisfy the end goal, or if you're using a hashmap as a sub-component then the composite algorithm might still be made efficient by never computing those expensive intermediates).

> “The most important thing employers can do is to equip managers to have the right kinds of conversations with people,”

and the rest,

This puts a lot on managers. I don't think leaders in organization are incentivized to make their reports happy. Managers don't get promotions because their team is happy. They get promotions doing things that make quality of life worse, empire building, adding responsibilities, team closing tickets, disruptive changes that only sound good. I don't think managers see happiness as part of their job.

I think its a lot to ask people and companies to do this out of the goodness of their heart or expect them to be forward thinking enough to see that happier employees mean better performance. And that second might not even be true, we could be stressed because were trying to be most efficient possible at all times.

"Silence is violence" is such BS, the right to stay silent is literally enshrined in the Constitution. Let's not fall for that kind of extremist rhetoric.

OTOH, I very much agree that the personal is political. Indeed, in an increasingly divisive and politicized society, simply tending to one's garden can be a powerful political statement.

Javadoc comments problem begins as soon what is in javadoc stops being true.

So you are usually better of reading the code anyway because you cannot trust that some dev updating code updated javadoc as well.

When something goes wrong I usually have to do is to dig into GIT history and see when and what changes were connected.

It's a mis-framing of the results.

Conservatives didn't have "no problem" answering as liberals.

Conservatives were better able to estimate what liberals would answer for individual concerns, but were wrong about group concerns.

Moderates were better able to estimate how both groups would answer for group concerns. Both liberals and conservatives overestimated how much conservatives cared for group concerns.

Liberals underestimated how much conservatives cared for individual concerns and overestimated how much they cared for group concerns. Liberals also overestimated how much liberals cared for individual concerns and underestimated how much the cared for group concerns.

In light of that, we could even frame it as liberals see themselves closer to conservatives than vice versa. Because that's how they answered for the groups. They think there's less difference than there actually is. So they under and overestimate appropriately.

Framing it as "conservatives know liberals better than vice versa" is wrong and is a tactic to put the onus on liberals to do all the changing. Because conservatives can fill out a morality questionnaire better.

Or let me put it this way, if the question was "How many puppies is it acceptable to kick in a lifetime?"

The fact that puppy kickers were correctly able to guess "zero" for the non-kicking group while the non-kickers said the kickers would say "ten" while the kickers really said "twenty" doesn't mean that the puppy kickers are the better group.

I have been curious. Back in December 2019, myself, my dad, my boss and some other friends and family all got sick. It lasted about 3-4 weeks. It was a weird cold. None of us really got that sick, but we all felt terrible, weak and lethargic, aches and pains, slightly feverish some days then not other days, a really bad sore throat to the point where swallowing hurt and not really a cough, but badly congested lungs. Breathing was hard and it was hard to clear the congestion.

It was the length of time that was the most strange and all of us were sick for pretty much the same length of time.

It wasn't the flu, if i get sick that long with the flu, I get fucked up, and colds never last that long for me. This was just like a month of general shittyness. Even then it took probably until around the end of January before I felt 'normal.' again.

We've all sort of speculated half seriously that maybe we had covid, but never really took it seriously.
