In Europe it’s pretty common to have non-Heinz ketchup, of which there are many[0] kinds[1]. Even in America, where Heinz is super popular, I can remember eating other[2] ketchups as far back as the 1980’s. And nowadays even my supermarket has fancy ketchups here in rural California, though that may be a CA thing.

But in many ways it is easier than in the west, since you don't need to deal with: inspections, appraisals, mortgage contingency, closing periods, CCRs, escrow, etc.

The problem is the bureaucratic class.. ie those qualified to run these things all have similar views, regardless of party.

Trump did not share those views yet still had to pick from them. The american people also don't have those views, or at least a large percentage of them don't. This myopic perspective amongst Al the bureaucratic class is what people call 'the deep state'.

A president that wants to get rid of this ought to embrace the unitary theory of the us executive and start making decisions and managing the various departments himself. for example, if a president believe hi predecessor bribed a foreign country, he can simply ask the other country to investigate, and has whatever foreign policy levers he has to get compliance, like us aid.

Unfortunately, when you do that, the ruling class doesn't like it and then they try to impeach you.

> Therefore the death of San Francisco has been widely over exaggerated much like the plight of San Franciscans.

Depends on your definition of 'death'.

I take issue with JumpCrisscross's definition of 'it's not going to be as wealthy as it was.'

In fact I mourn the opposite.

The city is too expensive.

Specifically too expensive for new voices to take risks on interesting food ideas, or unique boutiques, or artistic expression.

The story of San Francisco is the story of gentrification chasing culture. Dating back to development of the Fillmore Jazz culture precipated by poor people moving into the boarded up buildings in what was then Japan town following the US government's rouding up and interning of Japanese residents.

I think San Francisco is dead, or at least 'dying', because all of the unique neighborhoods have become homogenised 'techie' centers; 'dead' because everyone seems unintersted in making efforts to push back on legislatively.

If the majority of your residents are primarily consumers of culture, and monied to the point that producers of culture are unable to afford to live there, then your city will lose any cultural identity.

I think it was perfectly encapsulated in a scene in "The Last Black Man In San Francisco". The protagonist was sitting at a bus stop and a fully nude person walked up and sat at the bus stop. They sat quietly together until the nude person asked how long the protagonist had been waiting. The protagonist answered and added a personal note about thinking it'd just be faster to skateboard instead. They nod in aggreement and then a party bus full of people adorned in what appears to be startup swag stop in front of the bus stop and drunkenly point out the 'hillarity' of this old naked person just sitting at a bus stop.

Something that was unconventional social behaviour was treated as normal by our San Francisco loving protagonist and the drunken tech mob vocally mocked and denigrated that part of the city's identity.

That two minute scene encapsulated the last 15 years in the city for me, and it broke me.

I have heard some people hope that the now many vacant store fronts that suffered the ultimate fate due to the pandemic means the city could have a resurgence, but I have grown cynical, and fear it will just result in further consolidation of ownership in a wealthy few.

It happened to Manhattan too; another city I love. It belongs to the banks and uber wealthy now.

I've found the part where the author talks about "arbitrarily overlapping windows" and "fancy icons" as "cute but not essential" pretty telling. Find me someone on the street and ask them if these things are "cute but not essential". Sometimes I feel like software engineers forget what world we live in. In the virtual world all these things are obviously not needed and wasting precious computing power on them is a disgrace to the "craftsmanship". In the real world most applications are made for flawed humans with needs and preferences which stem not from logic and reasoning but from emotions and experience. This doesn't excuse shoddy engineering in any way (everybody has some horror story of somebody not understanding runtime complexity or something, so there certainly is a lot of it). But especially with the examples the author brings up like text editors and operating systems I find these critic/plea severly lacking. Are the core features of ed and visual studio code the same? Absolutely, you edit text. Are the extra ressources used for visual studio code compared to ed a waste? For some people here probably, but I would bet quite a lot that for most the answer would be no. In the end I often find that discussions about optimatization are often more for people to show off and prove that they are a "real engineer" than any real concern about performance.

What are the primal motives for reading?
Honestly I find ECS dogmatic and difficult. Data oriented design as a general practice is a good thing, but there’s layers to all things. OOP is a very broad category of practices and designs, and ECS usually refers to one specific architecture.

The specific architecture in question tends to be full of soft dependencies - most ECSes don’t allow you to simply store a piece of data without opting in to all systems matching the data type executing arbitrary code on it. So much for separation of data and behaviour. No, now they’re even More dependent than they are in the usual OOP sense and you might not even know it.

Furthermore, usually when you want to think about in-game entities, you want to look at a single class. Now all entities’ data is split into numerous components and all entities’ behaviour is split into numerous systems and you don’t know frame by frame how they’re gonna interact, provided you even know about all systems in the first place. It’s total spaghetti code.

I’m much more inclined lately towards a shallow actor system . If I want to know how player’s behaviour functions, I need only look at player.cpp and nothing else. Then, to reap the benefits of data oriented design, certain objects can use a certain allocation scheme that makes sense for the object in question. In the general sense, any Component<T> can just have a vector<T> or an unordered_map<T> of all components and the memory access is abstracted away without it being detrimental. That’s C++’s whole deal actually, zero cost abstractions.

I wouldn’t call an entire paradigm shift in which one rewrites everything from memory allocation all the way up to ‘use WASD to move’ zero-cost in any sense.

In C++ it is trivial to overload new, or derive from some class which does, or to write a custom allocator, and frankly there is zero need for the same person who’s writing ‘use WASD to move’ to know about memory management.

To me, nobody would willingly give up the most important part of their page's real estate (the top X pixels) and the branding value of what it says in the url bar...unless there was a tradeoff that made it worth it. As far as I can tell, carousel placement was that tradeoff. Until recently, you weren't allowed in unless you were on AMP.

Also, I'm not sure this is well known, but if you navigate to a web page from the carousel, Google traps the left and right swipe events on YOUR page. Either sends to user to a competitor. That's a pretty big compromise you would only make because the traffic boost from the carousel was worth it.
It's more complex, but it's a matter of how soon, not if. And how soon, not if, lab-grown steak will be better than real ones, because you'll be able to tinker with the composition in ways you simply can't currently.

Um okay... Wel then we better get ethically okay with crowded pigs fed our food scraps.

Humans eat like 5% of the actual plant matter we harvest. The rest is composted which just releases more greenhouse gases. If you feed it to a pig, then you at least get that car on released after feeding a human.

This app looks pretty good. There's also RemNote [1] which serves a similar function. It's kind of like Roam + Anki all in one.

I'm really loving the proliferation of good new ideas for note-taking and memorization. I wish I had some of these tools when I was in school. Even if some of them are paid right now, it's only a matter of time before solid free and open-source competition emerges. I'd love to see some Anki-like tools for Athens [2].

Austin also has an "velodrome-like" track called the Veloway. It's outside, so it can get hot, and it's not an oval track, but it's very fun.

The Veloway is a 23’ wide, 3.1 miles (5K) long bicycle tract that traverses the natural terrain. People travel from all over the metropolitan region to cycle here on a daily basis. The project was partially funded by a Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant.

Fun think about core web vitals and amp: AMP pages will _always_ win core web vitals, because they're measured from google's CDN, where they can be pre-rendered. Unless the page is motherfuckingwebsite.com, the AMP version is going to score better in every metric than a non-AMP version. Core Web Vitals just cements AMP as a shortcut to performance.

> just another evil google thing

Einstein said that "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything". This probably puts most of passive non-users of google as culprits in their wrong-doings.

But the case of people who voluntarily partake in the perpetration of google services is different. There's no "probably", here; their moral standing is clear-cut. I'm unable to feel any sympathy towards them. Not even to say "it's unfortunate, but they had it coming". If you have a google account or use google services you are directly responsible of their evil deeds. At this point, complaining that they are unfair towards you is hypocritical.

Google is nothing without its users.

You must be a mind reader, then, because nowhere in the article does the author state or imply that. Indeed, they go out of their way to point out why it's unlikely in the extreme that any publisher will bother, and points out why that's essentially a victory for Google -- indeed this might be the essential point that the author is making in this article.

You are correct. Their initial attempts were messy then too. By time the iMac G3 came around in late '98 the web was the #1 reason people were buying computers and Apple was marketing on how much easier their product was to setup for the web. Microsoft was truly remarkably bad at winning the race so they went off trying to shoehorn IE on Mac, which was a winning bet when the iMac became the #1 selling machine.

Most things are cross-cutting concerns. For example, database access and security are issues that entity-specific modules have to deal with, and it's best to share those features rather than have every entity reinvent it.

Early in the GUI days, you had UI components that were pretty independent.

I think there might be a misunderstanding here.

Author isn’t saying “password = hunter2, guess = hunter3, hint = you got the number wrong”

I really liked the separation of the theory and higher learning from classes vs learning the hands-on real-world programming from summer and co-op jobs. Even before I had those, I was already a hobbiest programmer on my own time. The difference these days is that people go into CS/software development as a career job and expect a degree to prepare them for it. I'm all for effectiveness so it would be up to each institution, but hopefully they're not continually churning out programmers who would have been good to have 5 years ago.
I find this baffling. I'm in Sweden and I do see a Mac every now and then, especially among artists and designers. But most people I know use nothing but Windows and every place I've ever worked used Windows. The only place I've seen a lot of non-Windows machines is the university. They had a fairly even split between Windows and Linux.
You're right. The correct definition is that any two vertices are connected by (i.e. are the endpoints of) exactly one path.

Fun fact -- since graph-theory trees are undirected by definition, an inheritance graph is more properly called an arborescence (for single inheritance). For multiple inheritance it's a DAG (with diamond-pattern) or a directed tree (without).
