> Am I crazy for expecting fonts to be free? There are so many good options that I can use without paying a license fee. I can't imagine liking the tiny differences in a font so much that I would get myself locked into a yearly licensing fee.

Having worked at Microsoft for years, I also got a chance to work directly with Monotype on custom fonts for a project's specific needs (wearable, tiny screen, specific DPI).

Monotype is amazing to work with. And given the amount of work they did, and what we got out of it, the price was absurdly reasonable.

For your blog? Use a free font.

But if you need a custom font, you really do need a custom font, and Monotype is #1 in the industry for a good reason.
Adopting a Federated GraphQL in Ssense
At the current rate, it will take us at least a century to replace fossil fuels with battery and renewables. Nuclear makes sense in the short term until we can replace it with renewables. If we continue as we are, replacing nuclear with natural gas instead of the other way around, we will never make climate targets in time to stop catastrophic levels of CO2 emission.

This is despite gains in solar and wind generation. Battery, solar, and wind make sense in the long run. However we are running out of time. We want to limit change to 1.5 celsius and we will never make those targets at the current rate. We are reaching limits of solar and wind alone in a lot of countries and storage solutions aren't being created nearly fast enough.

In addition, if we are going to start capturing carbon from unavoidable emissions like concrete production we will need to increase our energy usage dramatically.

Essentially, we are VERY underwater and we need something to help us stop sinking to give us time to swim our way out. Nuclear is already playing a big part in that, but not nearly enough. As it is, we could have a chernobyl every year and still not see the level of devastation that is expected to occur with climate change.

Modularity or componentization as you call it (I like that! :P) is definitely one of React's main advantages. But I'd say just as important is that it acts as a trojan horse, essentially, to get people using the "good parts" of functional programming without having to understand FP deeply.

Just like React encourages components, it also encourages immutable data, one-way data flow, functional reactivity, and thinking in terms of state machines, even if you aren't necessarily familiar with that terminology.

All this stuff makes building a complex UI far more manageable and helps to avoid common pitfalls.
It feels like people try aim very high in the candidates they pursue, and in the process, they end up missing the window for when their value is at its peak, and hence have to sell themselves for less than what they could have gotten earlier. Or end up simply choosing not to sell at all.

That article was written by long time conspiracy theorist Kris Newby.

>why stick with Excel versus using python, R or what have you to treat the data? [...] Do the newer researcher still show reluctance to move from Excel

The feature of Excel that's underestimated/overlooked by skilled programmers of Python/R is that spreadsheets immediately expose an editable visual spatial canvas datagrid GUI.

I have decades of programming C/C++/C#/Python/etc and yet I create new spreadsheets and use them every day.

Spreadsheets are much faster than wiring up a datagrid in C# or C++ Qt gui widget editor or any other "true" programming language. Spreadsheets are also faster than using Python package Pandas to import a csv into a dataframe and view it in a Jupyter notebook. And last time I checked, displaying an output grid of cells in Jupyter is read-only and not 2-way editable like Excel.

And yes, the complaint is that "MS Excel calculations are not auditable, repeatable, version controlled, etc". All true, but it still doesn't change the fact that Python doesn't have an instant datagrid GUI. UI affordances also matter in viewing science data sets as well as financial budgets.
Also those properties are lost if you transfer the data to another format then back, or don't properly survive copy/cut/paste operations (often cutting will remove everything about a cell including options such as these).

As well as being easy to be lazy and not use the options, it is easy to accidentally undo them also.
If that is the only possible result with corporations, then continued human survival is not compatible with the continued existence of corporations.

It is possible that e.g. benefit corporations may do a better job than standard corporations, but I have my doubts that it is possible to make corporations consistently account for negative externalities under capitalism.

It's the same thing with recycling. If you "hopefully" put unrecyclable stuff in with it, all you're doing is making recycling less economically viable and increasing the chance that the batch is ruined. The sorters only have the capacity to imperfectly remove the most obviously unrecyclable trash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83sYHe3jdGA), not to ponder if your yogurt container is made of the right kind of plastic or determining if every wrapper is food-stained or not. The contents of your entire recycling bin flies past their eyes in a literal second or two.

Why didn’t the US pursue a different avenue - carve the country up, and give parts to the neighboring countries.

I wonder if some of these decisions are driven by their business model. My understanding is Spotify's agreement with record labels means they have very low margin on a typical song stream. I've heard that some of their playlists are very valuable for artists and that there's some payola going on there. It could make sense that they're nudging people in those directions.

They also see much more upside in podcasts and thus are pushing people there.
No, they do not. The banks are not loaning anything; thus there is zero brrring.

I'm not quite tracking here. What does this MPD have to be accountable for with respect to this incident?

Disposing of PII and sensitive information is pretty standard procedure if you're losing control of a controlled area. When I was in the military we had similar procedures for cryptography, which are in the same realm of PII and sensitive information such as informants or case details.

Edit:

This link speaks to the federal standard pretty well: https://www.marines.mil/News/Messages/Messages-Display/Artic...

I don't know how or if this pertains to city police, but I imagine there's similar standards.

Edit again:

I'm getting two vibes from this:

- some amount of people want zero accountability for the police

- some amount of people want to provide the police with zero room for understanding

Both of these groups need to introspect as to what exactly you're trying to accomplish and how you're going about it affects the outcome.

I'm finding that I get a lot more utility out of framing it thus: the trash isn't created when I put it in the bin, the trash is created when I buy it in the first place. Once that happens, it's going to get pitched. Could be today, could be in 30 years, but someday it will happen.

Where that pays extra dividends is in limiting the accumulation of clutter. I used to buy electronic gizmos I didn't, strictly speaking, need, at a fairly regular pace. But I was storing up a bunch of crap I'd eventually have to throw away the next time I declutter. And I had a lot of clutter. Reminding myself that every consumer product is future trash helps limit the accumulation of clutter, which, in turn, limits how often I have to feel bad about throwing it away.
Russia and China have been doing the same thing, punishing dissidents living in other countries (and even their families, in China's case). Pretty much every country that has a plausible reason to believe they can get away with it embraces the idea that their laws apply anywhere they want them to.

I share your concern with this, but I don't think that crypto is likely to change anything in this area. Blockchains are fundamentally permanent, which makes enforcement easier, not harder. The wild west factor with crypto can't last forever; the nature of the technology works in the exact opposite direction.

I'm dubious. There is well-established research on the importance of imprinting for new-born chicks across a wide variety of bird species. Therefore, even if the chick spends most of its time asleep, I would want to see research saying that there is no problem due to intentionally depriving the chick of an appropriate target to imprint on.

No, it isn't reasonable and I don't care on an interpersonal level what you do as an individual, I only care about policies informing me on what I can expect in communal spaces.

As more businesses, employers, and institutions arrive at policies one way or the other regarding the vaccine, then you can make a personal decision about what to do about that. No, you will not be able to raise any random objection and override the entire enterprise. It doesn't and can't work that way.

Prior to working in financial crimes she spent a lot of time dealing with catching drug dealers/smugglers/cartels, which I think is where most agents go to cut their teeth, so she's heard pretty much every ridiculous excuse/justification you can imagine.

Whenever I see this stuff I wonder how much fraud is being perpetrated by people with enough statistical know how to make it hard to detect.
In that statement is inherent the fact that unless you put a dollar figure on an item it does not matters to capitalism. this is not a criticism of capitalism, just that how this works. what needs to happen is that we provide a value assessment for 'common goods' like not polluting the rivers or atmosphere. then and only then capitalism will start to care about them. one way of doing that is to create instruments like carbon taxes which models cost of 'making life worse for everybody' which is currently assumed to be zero.
>256 topics would be ceil(log2(256)) = 8 bits of entropy

Unless several topics can be assigned to a person (which seems to be implied in the article), in which case that's 256 bits of entropy available to classify each person.

>As a reminder, there are ~ 10 billion people on earth, so if you have 34 bits of entropy or so, you can uniquely identify each person.

Yeah, well theoretically you could. But that assumes that browsers are able to extract and balance some very arbitrary and very specific information from the browsing habits of all people on earth in a perfect decision tree.

In practice, lots of browsing habits overlap, making this decision tree far less discriminating and powerful than the theoretically optimal one.

Though I think you are absolutely correct that in practice the number of bits to build up a classifier able to uniquely classify each person must be pretty low. Maybe a few hundreds.

That may very well be possible with those 256 topics mentioned in that article.

Also I don't understand the difference between cohorts and topics, apart from the fact that topic are less numerous and can have appealing names?

That is atomic reference counting, not automatic reference counting. With automatic reference counting, you do not need to wrap the variables, and you do not need to increment or decrement the counter. Rust requires that you actively make your values reference counted by wrapping them explicitly, and makes you bump the count explicitly. It uses RAII to decrement the count automatically though.
I don't know the exact one to be honest - it's one of the 15+ minute ones where he has a caller and he takes apart why their expectations are over the top and they should reconsider. He lists statistics like, so-and-so % of black men earn less than $X, so-and-so % of black men are imprisoned, and so on. Probably one of the ones that expects a $500k/yr guy.

> Anyway, advice on how to exit the American way is very much welcome.

We've made a big deal about giving the kids "experience gifts".

Sometimes it's lessons (my daughter got a week at a horseback riding camp, my son got dirt bike lessons). Sometimes it's a trip (we've taken the kids on 3 separate cross-country road trips with tons of stops at national parks). Sometimes it's a pass to a water park or minigolf place. The kids get involved in the experience they want, so they're emotionally invested and it doesn't feel forced for them. The only rule really is that the thing can't be about electronics (i.e. no going to a video arcade).

Once we established that, we asked that grandparents do the same. Usually this is each set of grandparents taking the kids for a week or more in the summer, but they get creative sometimes.

It's been four years and the kids are much happier with this than the random junk, and have said so.

Er, what? It sounds like you're saying that you'd rather get COVID-resistance from a bout with COVID rather than from a vaccine, but then you suggest that you've already had COVID and that you'd prefer to experience COVID complications again.

The suspicious doubletalk aside, aren't the double-vaxxed currently doomed to risk a (mild, potentially infectious) Delta experience anyway? How's the resistance gained thereby stack up?

Why's this an issue, anyway? Are you having to pay for your shots, or something? Or is this a "principled" stance?

I'm not sure what you think "co-infection" means, but you just described precisely that. The reactivation of shingles meant that he was simultaneously infected with two different agents. "Co-infection" (for me at least) implies nothing about how or where the secondary infection came from.
I generally am very critical of my own gang ( programmers ) for being so into their own bubble they completely lose perspective of the real World, and with that ignorance comes the usual arrogance.

But this time I feel we should give the business to the geneticists. The Excel "problem" is known and has been known for a long time, finance guys and policy makers were maybe the first big ones to "discover" this for slightly different reasons.

Then WHY on Earth these top professionals, elites, "creme de la creme" people continue on this path? And it's not like they love Excel, quite the contrary. Yes, the main reason is they are not programmers so they need to find a way to hack something to solve their problem. The problem with their "problem" solving is they are being slobs in a work that requires the EXACT opposite.

"Oh now we need to hire a programmer too?" - Yes, you do.

"But we don't have the budget for it" - Yes, you do. You see, money is never enough for anything, it's a question of priorities and when you blow millions of dollars with fancy experiments to ruin your career because of Excel, maybe that Python/R/Julia guy was a bargain after all.

I know some of these people, and under the aura of lab coats and distinguished professors it's just some guy/gal trying to crank that paper ASAP to keep the hamster wheel spinning AND they are being sloppy about the data and process AND most of them know it.
