I do something similar. One Linode for x86 development and one Ec2 instance for arm64.

My home office, work office, and laptop (two Windows, one Mac) all ssh to one of these two and with tmux I pick right back up no matter where I go!

I've been doing this for a year or two now and it's much nicer than using local VMs since it takes up less memory and compute on the host (two of which only have 8GB RAM).

> The default choice of not leaving the locale one is raised up in, especially if one could make the same salary remotely, wouldn’t be a stretch.

Wonderful, instead of having to go to a city where people of all kinds mix together with ambition and purpose, it's so much better for people to just stay where they grew up and stick to people who just happen to be born near them. That's a great slogan for lonely people: don't reach out of your comfort zone for people you'll love, just never move and you won't have to deal with unfamiliar people. I apologize for being so sarcastic, I thought it'd be slightly funnier than drily expressing how ridiculously dystopian I think that is.

> it is an ersatz community born out of luck

No more luck-based than randomly being born in a geographical area. At least there's a non-zero amount of choice and purpose involved in travelling to a city.

> a complete absence of real friends, an absence brought upon by the necessity of being near that workplace.

It's been necessary to be near your workplace for a very long time, even before the industrial revolution. Such a causal link doesn't match up with any history I'm aware of.

> I am merely saying if you think your workplace acquaintances make real friends, you’re more likely to be deceiving yourself than not.

I didn't say that workplace acquaintances make real friends. I did say that workplaces are reliable communities that you can discover new people and make real friends in. Also, workplace acquaintances are good sources of socialization on their own when it comes to loneliness. I don't have to deceive myself to find great social value in such a professional and ambitious melting pot of people from all over the world. Should I be happy to be relieved of that opportunity? For what, the opportunity to never leave my birthplace (assuming I'm "second gen")?

> especially if one could make the same salary remotely

Okay you were the one telling me that corporations are solely focused on profits.

I watched some 9/11 live news broadcasts with my kids last year, because they knew of it but wanted to understand what it was like at the time. Even the clothes and hair styles of the presenters look very 80s to me.

I think cultural cycles really go roughly in double-decades. The early 60s look just like the 50s. The late 60s and 70s merge into each other. The 80s and 90s were another phase that petered out in the early 2000s. We're now in the post-2000 millennial era, so maybe another cultural phase is coming along soon.

It should not. I agree.

Do you agree that atomic bomb is political? At which sate atomic bomb development stops being science and starts being political? At theory level? Experiments? First device? First use of device?

At some stage we start observing that cryptocurrencies impact start having great consequences regardless of the science behind them. Great volume of electricity, centralization of power at hands of middlemen, promises of great future where benefits are reaped by early adopters already today.

Some people feel like looking at cryptocurrencies and blockchain purely from technology perspective, advocating for them, brings more harm than good. And I can understand this position of the author well.

There's an argument to be made that "tracking" has had less real world harm to humanity than the push to get rid of it. Real harm will come to people/business through loss of income due to the clamp down on tracking. Not to mention that ads are the foundation of all the content we get for "free" that we've come to rely on.

Ok, if it would be 2560 vertically on a 13" screen that's fair to consider it HiDPI but for 1280p on 15" this is questionable yet Windows does just this.I understand this is good for the vendors (who can claim they are selling you HiDPI - FullHD doesn't sound impressive enough anymore) and visually impaired people (that's actually great they are treated as the primary audience now). Perhaps this also is good as some sort of transition period so the technology gets introduced gradually while the screens still are not too dense and non-aware apps don't just become unusable instantly.

The thing is, they're still responsible for cutting down the Amazon.

The "responding to demand" is a complete cop-out. Stop blaming the consumer for the actions of the greedy.

I wouldn't be surprised if the consumer very often isn't even aware of the sources of the materials for a lot of the stuff they buy. And it doesn't help that the consumer is all too often worried about stuff that immediately affects them, leaving them no time or energy to worry about stuff that's they're not immediately aware of.

It's like blaming the consumer for the ridiculous amount of plastic corporations use for packaging when that's all that's available 99% of the time.

i agree, nicely put. just a small addendum to your two points: having very little product for users to sell only works if the product is free-as-in-beer for them - and the way to get there is to sell data about users to paying customers. these are fundamentals of engagement economy: get users kind of addicted to something which has barely any value and they wouldn't pay for it if they had to and sell everything they tell about themselves in the process of using it to people willing to buy the data. due to network effects user data value grows super-linearly, so you can perceive your own data as 'worthless', but it becomes worth much more once you get data about others.

> Recruiters want people who do side projects [...] having side projects and doing open source is valued in hiring

I think your premise is wrong and you're vastly overestimating the value of work done outside of your job.

- Having side projects: I was never asked past internship interviews. Even interviewing for my first job after graduation, I talked about what I did during my internship, not about side or school projects.

- Meaningful yet small contributions to open source: I don't remember anyone noticing nor asking.

- Major contributions to a big open source project: I assume these people get hired easily.

Recruiters are not dumb. They know that most good candidates are either not allowed or not willing to work on meaningful projects on the side, outside of a few very specific cases. Don't waste your time with companies that have delusional hiring standards.
A quick search indicates men actually see an increase after age 45. Some additional stats from the below source:

The average lifetime risk of developing cardiovascular disease was around 52% for men and 39% for women.

Lifetime risk jumped to 69% for men and 50% for women who had two or more cardiovascular risk factors by age 50.

Lifetime risk was just 5% among men and 8% among women who had optimal risk factors for cardiovascular disease at age 50.

There is a fair argument to be made that whenever you see a company taking the lion’s share of a market, whether in customers or profit, you’re witnessing a form of market failure.

> "… and per capita consumption of resources increase, usually creating a large net increase in resource consumption based in the modern lifestyle."

Exactly why such a complex issue cannot be solved with one or two simple solutions as so many seem to think. We need to reduce consumption and abuse of limited resources and normalize such behavior in the minds of human society as a whole. Especially among those most actively doing said abusing and (wasteful) consuming. We also need to be more open to the idea of change, because change is coming whether we like it or not. There's a terrifyingly large portion of humans in decision-making positions on this planet who are fighting tooth-and-nail to maintain an unsustainable "growth oriented" status-quo.

Well it's easy to argue that most crypto projects are get rich quick schemes by their creators. A lot of people haven't even heard of OneCoin [1], but I think it's what most of the crypto community actually looks like when you remove the whole "progressive" or "building future" branding.

Circuit bending means modifying electronics to make more "interesting" sounds.

I think the impact of Twitter on public discourse is massively overstated. Facebook and Youtube are both way more significant.

In general I think platforms where you the user explicitly indicates their interest are less socially destructive than ones where an algorithm guesses. At least that way you are aware of what bubble you are in, and can relatively easily see what other people are seeing. On Facebook there is basically no way to do this.

Unfortunately social networking sites in the latter category are much more profitable, hence why e.g. reddit is moving in that direction.

Not about that specific case. If i remember correctly some people mentioned what Google may not give a refresher, and that is like cutting your comp several times down, a very clear message removing the reason to stay there without any need to actually fire.
The correct answer is probably "both" rather than only one or the other. It's humans that like to create simple explanations and clear cut categories, not nature. Nature gives us egg-laying mammals because nature didn't ask our opinion beforehand.
On the software side, Reason is a really fun program to work/play with. It has about half a dozen virtual instrument synths, and they are all first class. Particularly: Maelstrom, Thor, and Europa. They're now on a subscription model, and give a few months of free trial, so that could be a great place to start.

On the hardware side, it depends a lot on what you're looking for. If you want to take some time to explore the theory, and do so with premium gear, Moog has some great options. Their Subsequent 25 could be a good entry point.

If you see yourself progressing from crafting sounds to arranging them into songs/sketches, the Elektron Digitone is really a blast to work with. Great synth engine, workflow, effects, and build quality. I picked up one earlier this year, and I reach for it now more than any other gear or instrument.

As others have mentioned, Bjørn and Meyer and the Ableton tutorials are excellent.

I don't think traditional social class plays much in that particular equation. It's a really small group of people that have the resources and access to use the surveillance data in oppressive ways. Government officials, 9+ figure-company CEOs, poor activitists are all targets.

Agreed, I'm not as pessimistic as others but we have to either solve the funding issue for OSS work, or come up with some other means of establishing trust in proprietary devices and software.
It's recommended to use nesting in GraphQL objects (both inputs and responses) for backward- and future compatibility.

But your problem is mostly because the API is not under your control.

In GraphQL backends it's OK to add special queries adapted for specific UI/UX (I think it's the whole idea behind the BFF - Backend-For-Frontend pattern).

I.e. you can choose between Design-first (data-centric) or Client-first (optimized for rendering on the Client/Front-end) GraphQL schema methodologies.

In the Client-first GraphQL schema you can have queries returning flattened data.

A non-standard approach is to run transformations, i.e. you specify directives how to transform the GraphQL operation responses. This can be for flattening, aggregations, calculating statistics, or joining results of the different queries.

Born in the 80s, in the US, I understood that carnival games are rigged in some way, but that arcade games were skilled based.

Only as an adult did I start to learn that the 'games of skill' in arcades were worse than carnival games.

I should have known arcade video games were rigged, given the cheap deaths/impossible to dodge attacks, but there's no reason I should have known the crane and other physical 'skill' based games were, for the reasons already mentioned by the GP comment.

Edit: reading further down, it looks like this may have been a recent change with the crane games. That makes me feel better about the arcades I used to frequent as a kid (mall and skating rink).

They were crappy, but I know people won stuff from them. But the usage rate was also quite high, given how popular arcades were back then.

Yeah. I mean, everyone knows that they're actually Chinese. /s

From your first link: "I am one of the very, very few people in the world who has actually fought bots on social media platforms." At this point, I think most people "get" just how little FAANG companies are doing to combat... uh, let's call it... "coordinated uses of their platforms for user-hostile purposes." For years I have said that they could be doing much, much more, and people just hand-wave the criticism aside with, "but but but it's really HARD." Yeah, I know. But these companies continue to print money like the Fed, year after year. They could be throwing A LOT more manpower and machines at the problem, and it shows. We all feel it. Anyway, it's just nice to see some side channel data that proves my point.
The irony you manufacture doesn't hold. Yes, these products are cheap (currently free) no small part due to the market aberration caused by the tracking and advertising. But it's not certain that they would go away if advertising had to revert to a model less driven by privacy intrusion.

I welcome the day such intrusions are rendered illegal or impractical, so that the market can price these offerings appropriately. Until then, why not use what exists?
Circuit bending is the practice of modifying the electronics of musical instruments and toys that where never intended to be musical instruments in the first place. One common techniqe is to find the clock source of whatever microchip there may be and adding a way to change the clock rate. This can make for example furbys into tunable singers. Check out Look Mum No Computers furby organ on youtube for example.

As for why it's used by all those famous musicians: I'd take that statement with a grain of salt, it's not like any of them used the SK-1 as their main instrument. But lots of people use limited and quirky stuff as inspiration, or for getting single unique sounds to mix into their works.
