I definitely wish that I could group tabs when I am working. I keep groups of tabs together, and these tab groups have long lifetimes. I also open various differently size windows depending on the content of each page. All of this is to work around the mess of "good enough" user interfaces that I deal with everyday. If I see myself opening more "ad hoc" tabs, I closed them as soon as I can. I don't need any more chaos.

Right now I am not at work, and I have three browser windows open and there are no scroll bars. I have managed to turn off tabs for the most part using Firefox userChrome.css and about:config. If I need another browser page, I'll open another browser window. When I have more than 4 or 5 browser windows I start stacking/offsetting the windows.

Unfortunately, "Tabs" are modes. http://www.nomodes.com/

That's not true for most people. For many people their phone is their most powerful computer, and their cell connection is faster than their home internet. I'm in a suburb just outside denver and my choice for internet is a 1mbp/s dsl line, or pay over $100 a month for 200Mb down/ 1 Mb up, or just use 5g which is more than sufficient for what most people do at 20Mb down / 1Mb up.

One thing that's not a conspiracy, people are getting censored for discussing Ivermectin with respect to Covid-19 treatment.

It's not surprising that foments distrust.

Tech should never have gotten into the business of censoring. It seems like a good way to get regulated.
Humans managed to scrape along for ten thousand years without the ability to eat fresh fruit and vegetables at any time of the year. I think doubling the price of an apple in exchange for Los Angeles to continue to exist is an okay tradeoff.
I recommend reading "Wages of Destruction". Historiography doesn't rely on just one person making a claim. That's just one small quote. The German war plans indicated that they simply didn't have the ability to sufficiently supply forces as far east as Moscow for a prolonged period of time. That the Soviet army was not utterly destroyed by the time the Germans go close to Moscow effectively meant there was no chance for a German victory.

American food and trucks didn't arrive in vast numbers until well after the Moscow 1941 campaign. America helped end the war sooner than it would have ended had it just been the Germans vs. the Soviets but America was not the reason for victory in Europe.
Oh, yes. Don't get me wrong -- it's over!

I don't disagree with you either, it's another example of how misplaced development priorities can look like winning big until the handkerchief reveals a fat, dead rabbit.

edit: the rabbit stinks, too.

Been decades since I stayed in a cave hotel in Coober Pedy, but I have stayed in a "trog" home in France and a cave BnB in Turkey - as much as the stuffiness, it felt like there was mineral-heavy dust always in the air, from the stone walls? My nose was quite sensitive to that.

Personally I think it is questionable if the US Government would have put a dollar into space or semiconductors had there been no Soviet Union.

The Soviets were willing to put large amounts of effort towards scientific advancements and exploration with little obvious profit motive on the other side, and it spooked the US into funding fantastic levels of basic scientific research.

It's interesting to see the percent of federal spending on basic research has fallen off a cliff since 1989:

The lion's share is by business now, which is more likely to invest in things that have more obvious immediate profit avenues.

The problem is that parents make a stink when their special little snowflake is given a bad grade, or sent to the principal, or whatever. But parents don't make a stink when their kid doesn't learn, because the teacher is too busy dancing around the kids that s/he can't do anything about because their parents would make a stink.

One disruptive kid can prevent 20 kids from learning. Look, the kid may have reason. His parents abandoned him, he's hungry, whatever. And it's not fair to just drop him because his parents did. But it's also not fair to let him keep everyone else from learning.

Ada, even with Spark, has formal verification capabilities that are nowhere near what has been achieved for C with Frama-C. With Frama-C you can prove that arbitrary heap allocated data structures with pointers are bug-free. You can’t do this with Ada Spark.
I simply think there is a difference between criticism (saying you disagree or even cursing someone) and punishment (withdrawing funding, getting somebody fired).

And I also think that the whole point of free speech is to be free of societal consequences of it, whether they have government authority stamp or not, because it's IMHO impossible to discern that either (and I think the former Soviet regimes, which started in good faith of inclusive community, and ended up authoritarian, show exactly that problem).
Teacher salaries are public in my state (every state?) so I just looked up my local school. For the record, this is a rural location in Minnesota - each grade has a little over 100 students.
My wife’s sister is 33 years old and has worked there for a few years. Her yearly salary is $47,000, and has been rapidly increasing each year - nearly 10% a year. It looks like teachers that I would guess are in their 40s and 50s are capped out at about $74,000 a year.

That’s roughly what my 32 year old accountant wife gets, and they get nearly 3 months vacation a year and much better benefits and retirement stuff than she does. Considering I know more people that have gone in to the teaching profession than anything else, that seems more than fair.

Also, a lot of those older teachers that I looked up would have been fired from any other job if their performance was the same. I’d only be ok with a massive increase in teacher pay if teacher’s unions were abolished. The only firings that have happened to tenured teachers here in the past 20 years have been for sexual misconduct.

What about in trials? If a defendant grabs some rando off the street to be their attorney and they lose he’ll likely try for an appeal, thus clogging up the court system.

In that case it is an efficient use of resources to require anyone that practices law in a court room to meet some minimum bar (hey I think I found out why it is called the bar exam).

You are missing the point. We now have some idea of the effectiveness. No one wanted to hear anything about Ivermectin for most of the past year. The world economies have lost trillions and some large portion of the 3.8 million dead were needless. Pharma companies knew there was a potential for Ivermectin and worked to discredit it because it was a threat.

I'd go the other way, please don't add commentary and a good way to monetize this kind of site would be to charge for access to a separate related forum/discourse instance. Optionally you could show comments if someone wants to see them on the page (or include a link to the dedicated forum thread for every post).

Having commentary on a site like this is a great way to turn into WSB/StockTwits and/or have people attempting to pump and dump.

I've lived in Oregon most of my life, and while I think the law is basically pointless and would love to have it revoked, it doesn't waste any tax dollars. It just makes running a gas station more expensive
I've had a 13" ultrabook w/ cellular for a couple years now and it's the best thing ever.

Size of UI text in general is an issue IMO, especially since it's often hard to configure. Sometimes I just want slightly larger text. Why can't I just set that in Firefox? I need to use some userChrome CSS hack (which, of course, breaks some UI elements), and for other applications it's even harder (I tried looking it up for GIMP and couldn't find an easy solution, but I didn't spend a very long time on it).

Recently I've been playing Baldur's Gate (the Enhanced Edition), and while it does allow resizing the text size it becomes so large that it doesn't fit in many UI elements (most notable, the dialog box). I guess it's better than nothing, but with just a very small amount of effort it could have been much better.

Say about the web what you will, but the ability to resize almost any text is a great feature.

Also I think Windows actually manages all of this much better, where you can just set a text size in settings (I think? It's been years since I used Windows, so not sure).
I must just be dumb.

We can't really compete with free trade because of a high cost of living, so we subsidize (including some items that we export like crops). These subsidies require the government to borrow, usually from other countries that are our competitors. It seems like were screwed either way - pull out of free trade and trade deficit tends to increase, or subsidise and pay those competitors interest on the subsidies, or pull out of subsidies and we will become uncompetitive.
The legislature delegates authority to the board.

Yes you can hire an engineer to supervise your work.

Then you have successfully avoided responsibility for it.

And legally as well.

A license would allow you to take responsibility for what you do.

I can understand why someone wouldn't want it.

I don't understand why someone who has chosen that route whines about it.
I gave my daughter a Nektar midi keyboard for her birthday, and it came with a license for Bitwig Studio. I saw that it was available on Linux and thought that this was fantastic. I'm sure that she'll get there eventually, but she's doing everything in Garage Band on an iPad at the moment.

She's 13, so she's still learning the ropes here.

But most of those are angry and bitter because of the social aspects, and because it wasted their time. I don't recall ever reading here that someone was angry and bitter because the grading system burned them.
This is a truly crap, say nothing article. Somehow Apple is now responsible for making all computers faster, lighter and slimmer, instead of it just happening every year anyway because it's what people want? How is that making it closer to my phone? Can't get cellular connections in laptops, hunh? Maybe if you only buy off shelf at Best Buy. Seems like real filler content for people who don't know anything about computers.
Seconded. Ultrabooks have been around for nearly a decade now and they are light as well as having excellent battery life.

I've been using them since 2015 and, combined with a docking station, they're the perfect mobile and home work environment, without any of the drawbacks of a phone (small display, no keyboard, hardly any multitasking, limited storage...). In my university, ultrabooks basically dominated the class room, so it's not only me.
If you read "Wages of Destruction" you'll see a greater number of references. I don't dispute the fact that we did create and distribute a lot of supplies. I claim that those supplies didn't win the war but rather shortened it.

EDIT: I corrected a mistake on the number of references.
don't know any but personally since it's not in the anglosphere you're bound to miss a lot of companies doing incredible stuff. just like it's easy to miss a bunch of small tech companies in the us doing incredible stuff whether for the right reasons or not.
> are causing people not to get vaccinated and that in turn will prolong the epidemic

Can you make an argument that people going for natural immunity and relying on currently used COVID treatment protocols in case they decide it is needed will prolong the epidemic more than if they took the vaccine?

Maybe it will do the opposite, as 1) natural immunity may be stronger, last longer 2) some number of non-vaccinated people getting sick, getting isolated and taking effective treatment may on the whole infect less people than if that same number of people gets vaccinated and then interacts with other people and potentially spread the infection more because they don't get strong symptoms.

I'm not saying that you are incorrect, just that the argument that getting vaccinated solves the epidemic quicker isn't clear.
Enough providers in Europe are willing to sell you a second SIM card for a one time fee ($5 to $15) that shares the data budget with the sim card in your phone. Only trick is to configure which of the two SIM cards gets SMS for your number. (Yes you can pick the one in your laptop and yes you can pull the SMS from the cellular modem using AT commands. But it get's annoying after a about a day of nerd glee.)
> the likes of China and India are by far the biggest culprits while Africa is projected to quadruple it's population while rapidly industrializing. The growing number of people is the main problem.

Bullshit. The western ignorance and entitlement is unreal. Americans and Europeans are responsible for the vast majority of historical CO2 emissions, while having a small fraction of the world's population. If someone is to be blamed for climate change, it's them.

https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$model$markers$line$data$fi...

What gives you the right to stop the rest of the world from industrializing?

Look at the obscene CO2 emissions caused due to over-consumption in western countries:

https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$model$markers$line$data$fi...

Poor countries are going through the standard demographic transition model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition. You cannot blame them for having high birth rates, even Europe and America had high birth rates when they were poor.

Birth rates in India and China are already below replacement, Africa's will also be later in the century.

Do you think people in America are more entitled to have babies than in the rest of the world?

The problem is not growing population, correlation is not causation. The root problem is lack of renewable tech that can sustain the modern quality of life for all humanity.

I suggest watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348

It's high time people stopped the tiresome and senseless bitching about India/China/Africa having too many babies, and focused on renewable energy research instead.
Funny how most car crashes are caused by humans driving.
How about attach the money spent on a school to the child, and let the teachers/administrators compete just like everything else. You can create specialized roles, pay more, focus on X, whatever you want.

The school system is a failing monopoly that should be broken up.

I don't think the comment you are responding to is dismissing it based on the absolute number of responses, but because of the poor response rate.

People talked about this a lot with respect to political polling by phone during the last US Presidential election. Very few people answer phone polls these days and figuring out how different they are from the general population is important.

> How can mere continuity be worth millions of dollars? Or did you skip a particularly lucrative opportunity?

If you are at tier 1 non-FAANG like Square, Stripe, yes, it is very lucrative.

Back then I was a junior that got luck with IPO ~2011 and went up to senior fairly quickly.

If I stuck to that company, I could have been staff/senior staff by now. Imagine being staff eng since 2015. That's a lot of millions probably.

I regret a lot. I came back and join tier 1 non-FAANG and still hit a few millions. But I could have had ~10 millions instead of a few millions.

This is a lifetime money that is worth sacrifice a few years of my life. Also, working at these companies are not bad. It's actually great and enjoyable as well. You live like a king (e.g. spending 20k for a 2 weeks vacation is kinda meh.) and still save like 200K-400K a year or something.

For me, this kind of money is just crazy. I made like 10x more than my parents. This was why I took a year break. I thought I was already too wealthy (oh boy I was so wrong).

Deciding to take a year break and traveling at the height of tech is one of the worst decisions I have made.
If you're looking for a mess of laws, take a look at the OLCC trying to wrestle hemp regulation from the department of agriculture. It hasn't happened yet, but they've been working for years to try to get it under their jurisdiction and impose a lot of new fees.

Hemp definitely needs regulation, but the OLCC notoriously over-regulates for the sake of control and income. I'm pretty confident that is OLCC got control, they'd end up putting a lot of folks out of business through excessive red tape
Awesome work. I tried something similar a while back, but I gave up once I realized the memory requirements for Ruby numeric primitives make it near impossible to massage large data sets in Ruby.

Pandas and numpy skirt this with custom numeric types. I've seen some efforts to build pandas clones in Ruby, but none have come close to the performance needed to handle a few gigs of data.
I would attribute those good things to the ideological competition during the Cold War. America could not win by force alone, but it had to win people to its side and show that their way of living was better than the alternative. Things started going downhill soon after America won and became a hegemony. While the 90s promised a better future for everyone, the 2000s saw the beginning of the "war against reality", as there was no longer any existential threat to keep various political ambitions in check.

TV aint free. Worst yet if the Funimation and others fully got their way with the claims they do I would not be able to watch the shows I did in Japan here in Europe. Not because funimation is showing them here and I dont want to pay for them but cause they own the US rights and will take down any online source with no european broadcaster sending them out.
This might be an EU thing, but mobile data is usually highly limited, while home connections are very rarely. Sure, having 200 MBit/s is nicer than 50, but at least you can use it for more than 5 minutes.

Also, even with the rather beefy phones released recently, I highly doubt they can outperform an average laptop CPU, let alone a desktop one.
Why? Was there much of a market for it? At least where I am cellular data is stupid expensive compared with curb internet.

As it becomes more affordable though I might be willing to pay an extra $50 for a cellular chip. Not until then though for my use case at least. Keep in mind that a lot of iPads are sold without cellular as a cheaper option.
Windup Girl is not exactly diamond-hard science fiction, since the biopunk genre waves a wand and makes electronics largely go away. Energy storage is done by winding springs with working animals, genetic engineering features prominently, but for aesthetic reasons you never see the words "solar" or "electric motor".

This was plausible-ish in 2009, (At the time the only EV on the road was the obscure and blisteringly expensive Tesla Roadster) but lithium batteries and PV solar are dozens of times cheaper now. Even with oil gone, it would be hard to imagine a Windup Girl future in 2050.
Any idea what Massachusetts is doing to achieve such results, and could it be replicated in other states?
It's probably the result of Hollywood propaganda but even after US had done terrible things to our country (listed above too), I have the sentiment most people here would welcome the US right now.

If I have to put into words what makes the US feels different, maybe it's the racial diversity of the US? You could see people that look like you in the US doing fine* so you can imagine that you can work it out with the US too. You need to learn and change a lot to integrate with more homogeneous superpowers.

*Yes I know the US is not perfect on the racial equality front but I do feel like the homogeneity of other countries mask their problems in this area.
