From what I've understood on the subject is that it's not super-well understood yet, with the common advice early on having been to avoid exposure to common allergens for young children (because potential anaphylactic shock being a bad thing), until it was observed that children i Israel generally showing a lot lower rates of peanut allergies, and that very young children in Israel are exposed to peanut-containing snacks early on. At this point, the advice was reversed to that young children should be exposed to potential allergens early on (because developing a life-long allergy from under-exposure to an allergen is worse).

The rest I'm guessing is extrapolation from that - lack of early exposure = negative.
Lumen is the lighting system. Nanite is the technology allowing you to use much (like, orders of magnitude) higher polygon counts in a scene (basically an infinitely dynamic LOD*). You can download the early access UE5 now and I've got to say, they are lightyears ahead of Unity, technologically.

Considering how beginner friendly UE is (visual scripting, graph based material editor, etc.), and their (IMO) much better pricing scheme**, I think UE will eventually replace Unity as the go-to engine for indie devs unless Godot really step up their game.

Actually no.

If a platform provides a generally available service they are (in many countries, idk. about the US) not allowed to arbitrary exclude some people they don't like without a legal valid reason.

And braking legally not valid/binding terms in a ToS is not a legal valid reason. Just because you write something in your ToS doesn't mean it has any legal relevant meaning, there are limits to what you can put in ToS. And limiting (properly done, privacy respecting) research is often not valid. (Through depends a lot on the country.)

Really sorry to hear about your experiences and I must agree that this isn't the way out of this, it just isn't. Situations have unbelievable complexities and these are blanket approaches that will invariably do more harm than good. I think a frustrating argument that I hear from parents and other people on the other side of this is the classical "if you have nothing to hide then X".

They step back on that when the problem is turned around into "why does your house have walls? why do you have locks and doors?". It's not because you have something to hide, it's because of privacy and safety. And we need these spaces to provide us with a modicum of safety and privacy because some discussions can only emerge in those spaces, some ideas need to be discussed in those safe spaces and because I wouldn't want that the world in which modern children grow up in has entirely given up their right to privacy. We always end up using the bad as something that needs to be guarded against, but we seem to fail to see all the positive experiences that have emerged in those safe private spaces as we were growing up...

I've been running an interview podcast called Disrupting Japan for the last seven years or so. I interview Japanese startup founders in English.

Four things I do with every guest

1) Do real research. Read any other interviews this person has given. It helps you avoid the dumb questions and sparks new ideas.

2) Try to figure out what this person really wants to talk about but never gets asked about. Founders usually have some passion related to, but not really part of, their startup story. I don't always hit tis, but when I do, it's a magical conversation.

3) Challenge your guest. If they say something that seems too fluffy or hyped. Push back and ask them (very politely) to support it.

4) Sketch out the conversation arc beforehand. Know the story you want to tell. The interview will be a series of having the guest go off on interesting tangents, and you pulling them back onto the storyline.

I don't know if my podcast interview skills count as "great" or even "good". But that's the way I approach it.
- I’ve used everything. NodeJS, React, Rails, Python , Rust. Once I learned Haskell I fell in love and never went back. I code in Haskell because I enjoy it, I can sleep at night because of the safety guarantees (no crashes), and I find it aesthetically pleasing and easy to think in. One of the things I enjoy most is the stability of the package APIs.

- I try to avoid JS. I do progressive enhancement with vanilla JS, and avoid JS webapps unless absolutely necessary. If I need to write a JS webapp, I use a purely functional approach. I found that when writing React, using frameworks, using TypeScript or PureScript, I lost so much time and effort managing my build step and fighting with APIs and package churn. I use preact with the htm library, vanilla JS, and most importantly no build step and no npm. I don’t use a framework. I use a purely functional approach inspired from Haskell/Elm. I have an update function which returns a new state and effects from the current state and event, and a dispatch function which is attached to onevent props. The dispatch function calls the update function, renders, and runs effects. These few functions are 20 lines of code.

- No challenges specific to Haskell so far. Of course I had to learn the ecosystem when I started, which packages to use, language and tooling gotchas, etc. but that is the case for any language.
>I really don't know how he managed to get the selection of guests

For the later guests who were not colleagues at MIT or his previous contract work at Google, they do what many guests do: they look at the interviewer's previous episodes and see if they like his style. It's a big commitment to spend ~3 hours with someone they don't know so they use the previous episodes as a "résumé" to see if it's worth their time.

>, not following up on what the guests says

And the parent comment you replied to said the opposite: >Lex will often say something like "oh that's interesting, let's talk about that"

Not debating you but it's an interesting observation to me that different people will see contradictory evidence.

>, reading from a list of prepared questions

The way a lot of these podcasts' preparations work behind-the-scenes with emails/phone calls before the actual interview is that the interviewer will propose a list of topics to talk about. The guest can also add (or subtract) from the list of topics because they are the ones who ultimately agree whether to appear on the podcast at all.

Therefore, using prepared questions is actually respecting the guest's agreement to be interviewed.

Now, if on the other hand you're complaining about the delivery of the prepared questions... such as "Lex should memorize the 50 prepared questions perfectly instead of reading a sheet of paper in front of him" or "Lex should use a cue card or teleprompter off camera to read the prepared question" ... it seems like a really trivial thing to complain about.

Apart from the fact that most people there have to do a big shop once a week at the nearest supermarket, or that all the professionals commute out of the countryside to their urban workplaces?

Only the islands are properly autonomous, and even then that just increases the length of time between supermarket trips.

Yep, I think you're dead on. Its interesting that the OP didn't want to have small talk with strangers because they're afraid of looking like a creep. The point of small talk with strangers in public is very much just to signal, "not a creep, just a regular person like you" and increase comfort levels. Unwillingness to engage or over-sharing usually send off the wrong signals, but simple quick, "Hey, crazy weather, huh?" conversations put people at ease.

It's probably quite a good correlation. Freakonomics covered the idea "why suicide bombers should buy life insurance" - because, well, most don't and a decent profiling tool will notice that.

I love cyberpunk because its predictions are all coming true, so I feel that I've got a fair warning.

I'm sorry, I don't follow.

I was talking about an application and its accompanying database, which would still be paid for and administered by the customer, not a database outside the application which it would be accessing.

That still raised many eyebrows.
Knowing the correlation, it may make it easier to understand the reasons behind and how people get recruited into violent cults. If it doesn't generalize well, it may be a dead end though.

The problem that the article doesn't address is that users don't actually seem to mind using terrible software so long as it solves the problem they face better than not using it.

I've been saying that for a long time, but I don't see as a problem in itself, but as a fact of life.

The problem comes because people get the wrong impression that "state of the art" is always a compliment and terrible usability is best of possible worlds.

I'm reminded of this every time I try to teach my mother anything about Android or Windows. Or even when I must deal myself with a new app with its quirky "state of the art" GUI.

Number 1 resonates. Front end is frameworks come with more required learning than the work required to avoid them. However they promise to work for all your problems so you can standardize your teams and projects. Only they churn so fast they're out of date after your first serious project.

I do disagree. The primary responsibility of the manager is to manage and to manage they need to understand the process. The problem is that managers very often do not understand the software engineering field particularly well at all. I've seen it a thousand times that both large and small issues are simply ignored by managers, because they either do not understand them or even if they manage to grasp something, they fail to understand that they need to actively do something about it or just plain out ignore the issue, either with wishful thinking or just a power move where they think the issue isn't theirs to solve and in fact that the issue lies on the engineer to resolve. Most engineers are highly logical and would not bring something up without good reasons. It will have a negative impact if not handled.

I do not manage like this myself and I do not blame my engineers for anything that sits on my head, but I learned these lessons painstakingly through 15+ years of professional coding myself, seeing all kinds of roles at all kinds of companies creating chaos, project managers, product managers, bad managers, bad manager's managers, etc, but also the good ones luckily, the ones that were respected, knew what they were talking about, won the hearts of engineers, etc. This is what I modelled my own path after.

I'm surprised how shocked people are about this new thing from Apple. Both Google and Microsoft are already doing this stuff and have been since 2014[0][1].

I also hope nobody here ever gets mad about the rampant child pornography going around on platforms like Kik, because that would be incredibly hypocritical.

Truecaller – The Best Caller ID and Spam Blocking App
On GNU/Linux Thunderbird ist my favourite GUI mail client, offering support for a variety of standards, including e.g. CalDAV (CardDAV in Beta), OpenPGP and S/MIME.

Not sure whether Chat should be part of it, currently offering Google Talk, IRC, Odnoklassniki, and XMPP (Twitter finally gone). Support for Usenet News is appreciated, though I enjoy Pan.

On GNU/Linux I thus consider GNOME Evolution as best alternative. (Haven't looked at the KDE suite for some time with Akonadi being too heavy last time I tried it on my simple machine.) Neither Claws, Geary, Sylpheed, or others offer such broad support, although those are very nice GUI clients.

Further alternatives are listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_email_client
> demonstrate the same for non Muslim terrorist

Yes of course the correlation between patriarchal control and depersonalized violence (terrorism) is established well beyond islam. It's a fact that has been pointed out time and time again by feminist scholars and activists.

For example, the Montreal Polytechnique massacre was downplayed/depoliticized by the media as the work of deranged madman, but has long been understood by more pointy spirits to be a political act of femicide. Other examples of this correlation are given in Contrapoint's popular education video about incels, which you can find on Youtube and i cannot recommend enough to understand that mindset.

> Muslim (...) certainly create stricter life for females

Source? Here in France, i don't know of any evidence that patriarchal control is stricter/stronger in muslims than in atheists/jews/christians/hindus/etc. In fact, it is possible it would be less prevalent with muslims, because muslim expressions of patriarchy are more scrutinized/opposed than the presentable white-rapist-in-a-suit variant that occupies every government, police station and corporation here in the global north.

Patriarchy was established long before islam was a thing, and is one of the oldest and most insidious systems of domination. Your statement linking islam specifically to patriarchy seems based on anecdotal data, just like i could produce anecdotal data of muslim feminists proudly dismantling patriarchy.

Not sure if it's my computer (Arch Linux, 5.13, i7-7700K, RTX 2080 Ti) but the page behaves the same in both Firefox and Chrome where it basically slows down the browser to a halt, seemingly contiuing doing HTTP requests forever (loaded the page once 3 minutes ago and it's still doing more requests to some ElasticSearch instance).

It is pretty amazing what you can accomplish with nocode tooling (like Bubble, that is being used here), but I think this demonstrates that we have a long way to go before production applications can be built with it. It is a pretty good starting point though, and with a little optimizations to Bubbles backends (and probably the way they render stuff/deal with the DOM) we can be pretty close to shipping nocode apps for average users.

None the less, nice work! The UI itself is pretty close which is inspiring to see, although the new reddit UX leaves plenty to ask for.
Actually it is the exact application to develop with no code. It is a clone of an existing website, where there are already 100s other clones, so it will extremely likely amount to nothing and not surpass 10 users, meaning the performance impact will not impact anyone.
Cars are really the best example but hard to tell because the change over time is so not so sudden.

My first car was 1988 Pontiac Sunbird from my parents. Inflation adjusted price is 26,000 in 2021 dollars.

I had one of the cooler cars in high school. If you look up a picture of it now, it is such a piece of shit I literally would not get in one.

Everyone complains about education cost but I take whatever classes I want online for free from some of the best Universities to have ever existed.

There is always someone that says this obviously ludicrously over simplistic statement that inflation is money printing and then cherry picks data that backs that up. Even though it is just as easy to cherry pick data that shows that point is stupid.

We can't measure "inflation" in the general sense because we have no definition of what that even really means.

I don’t think it’s fair for people to say you’re lying. People in the rural US really can be quite racist. Same in rural anywhere I suppose. I lived in Taiwan for a couple of years and although the racial ignorance does not go as far as racism and violence (maybe except toward southeast Asians) it’s strong. People will stare, comment under their breath, make ridiculous and insulting assumptions about you, call you names, etc. During the pandemic if you didn’t look Taiwanese some people wouldn’t even let you inside their shops or restaurants, they’d request to see your passport and travel history but let Taiwanese-looking people waltz right in.

I do think it’s fair to say people in rural areas of any country have less exposure to people outside of their own little tribe. Hopefully this continues to change as internet becomes more omnipresent.
