They’ve become the party whose base ranges from the urban (cosmopolitan) to the suburban now instead of the previous urban (ethnic workers and people of color) and rural. Even as recently as 2008 Democrats were competitive in flyover country and Obama won a remarkable number of rural counties. But now politics has become polarized more on the educational axis and less on race or class than it was previously (but it still is, and it’s why black men with the same educational attainment as white men vote Democrat by 65+ point margins even if I used to be 80 point margins)
> I have seen nothing regarding how a country's environment and population density affect COVID

This article does address that.
In my experience the ideology of the left has a lot of appeal among the rich who want to just feel they are good.

And the right has some unhinged aggressive component of "see, being good is hypocrisy, so it's better to be bad".
It’s sloppy because it’s just a regurgitation of a talking point that has no logical basis. You and I both know that not teaching a standard English or pretending like one does not exist would only worsen language-based discrimination.

> When you enforce a specific dialect, then you exclude and alienate speakers of other dialects and this will INCREASE linguistic drift.

How exactly would that happen? It would provide a means for other dialects to adopt the standard dialect and communicate with the wider community. That’s the opposite of increasing linguistic drift. In the situation you’re suggesting, you’re expecting everyone to understand and communicate in every other dialect simultaneously. That’s just an unrealistic expectation.

> That's where we are already. What you propose is forcing the other tribes to speak your tribe's english.

I propose everyone who desires to participate in the English-speaking world voluntarily unite and find consensus under standard English. Stop taking something personally that isn’t personal and speak the standard English so that we may all better communicate and information can more freely disseminate across more populations.

Imagine if people started making the argument that correcting incorrect Python was racist/classist and people should just start forking Python if they do not like standard Python. That would be silly yet that is what you are suggesting. Obviously having a single agreed-upon dialect of Python is beneficial to everyone and it shouldn’t be personally offensive to recommend that people program in standard Python.

>usually, passphrases are only used to decrypt the actual encryption keys, so overwriting those keys should be super fast

I'm not sure if it's really that simple with modern flash storage. There might be no guarantee that attempting to overwrite some data will actually affect the particular memory cells where it is stored. You would probably have to trigger a secure erase to reset all memory cells and hope that it is correctly implemented by the storage device's firmware.
This really baffles me. What does a restaurant with no paper menus do if a customer doesn't have a phone (or is visited, from abroad, say, and doesn't have mobile data)? What about a family with kids (and/or grandparents) who don't have phones?

I have a phone, of course, but I don't take it with me everywhere I go. If I were going out for dinner, at least locally, I'd probably leave my phone at home. I don't want to be interrupted with emails or messages (or car warranty phone calls, which seem to be the only flavor they come in these days) while I'm eating. Spoils the appetite. If a waiter refused to give me a menu -- if a phone were, in other words, a prerequisite for dining -- I'd leave forthwith to look for a different spot.

We haven't really gone out to eat much since the pandemic started. Perhaps a few times at places with outdoor tables. I've never not been given a traditional menu at those places, though. Is this really as prevalent ("QR codes have replaced restaurant menus") as the article suggests?

VS Code has a lot in common with webbrowsers. VS Code is (as e.g. the older Atom) mostly implemented using web technologies HTML, CSS and JavaScript that execute in a runtime forked from a browser (Chromium).

I assume the grand parent is, at least partially, referring to this essay [1]. Here, the browser and HTML/CSS/JS is complimented for its dynamic nature and low barrier to entry, similarly to Emacs. In that sense, VS Code, like Jupyter, is a perfect example of the webbrowser gaining functionality of Emacs.

I know the assumptions are wrong. But the point is the lack of explicit copyright notices on blogs or SO posts is probably enough to convince most courts that you did not willfully violate copyright. The parent I responded to implied you’d have to convince a court that you thought the copyright expired due to death.

In general I suffer from NIH complex so don’t really copy code from those places ;)
Hi, developer on Cultivate here.

We ask to access data on all websites because our list of supported sites changes daily, and it would simply be too onerous to go through the web store approval processes for three different browsers every time we want to update them. So instead the extension periodically calls home to get our list of supported domains, then, on browser navigation, only does anything interesting if the current domain matches that allowlist. I think this is pretty typical for an extension of this type.

On your edit, "sav[ing] your search history on all e-commerce sites" makes this sound much more shadowy than it really is. All that is happening is that, on some sites such as Amazon, the URL and content of the page you are visiting are parameters used in generating product recommendations, and so are sent back to our servers to enable us to do this. We don't currently use this data for any other purpose. Our privacy policy leaves open the option for us to use this in aggregated anonymous analytics in future.
> Because Japan has a comprehensive hydrogen strategy with the plan to produce the hydrogen in high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.

There is a pretty good chance you have that backwards, and the reason Japan has a comprehensive hydrogen strategy is due to lobbying of their car companies. Australia seems to have a number of hydrogen initiatives being discussed, and most seem tied to Japanese companies.

I think you're being needlessly downvoted. Sorry.

> Voicing observations such as “you were ten minutes late this morning” to someone who’s knowingly been late already before could be easily perceived as passive aggressive.

I can see your concern, because it's not clear from the article. It is passive aggressive if you leave it at that. NVC does not recommend leaving at that - you have to state all 3: Observation, Need and Feeling[1] - and the book explicitly calls out what happens if you omit any one. In that sense, your position is in line with the NVC book.

A more complete NVC approach is:

> You were ten minutes late this morning. I was annoyed at having to wait for you and lose productivity. Could you explain why you were late?

And no, I should never assume you know you were late, or how late you were. Because I may well be wrong to begin with (my clock is wrong, got you confused with someone else, etc). Without stating this fact, you would be confused.

Or in this conversation we may discover that your watch was off, and the simple correction is to fix your watch. Or you may know you were 10 minutes late, but you also know that others tend to be 15 minutes late and you may want to bring up with me that I hold them to the same standard as I'm holding you. If any of these is true, the conversation is tougher if I don't mention that you were late by 10 minutes.

> Most of the examples read as passive aggressive to me, because you’re renouncing to a very direct evaluation that doesn’t require a specific knowledge framework and present instead your interlocutor with an emotionless remark about their actions.

Definitely true if you merely make the observation.

Edit: Another commenter raised a very good point. One of the benefits is to make the observation (without judgment) clear in your own head. It's quite easy to have your brain quickly jump to "lazy" or "tardy" - particularly for repeat offenders. And if you do that, it becomes equally easy to vocalize it, which would be a very big mistake.

In most cases, there is no good reason to make that judgment. If someone is always late, it's quite fine to fire him because he cannot be on time, without having to portray him as a "tardy" person. You and your business have your needs and he couldn't meet them. What he is need not enter into the discussion or narrative.

[1] In this case there is also a fourth: Request
>I think "party of the rich" type narratives are more just wonky narratives and ideology.

I disagree. I remember a time when someone who was lower/working class could have a reasonable expectation of being able to elect someone who would represent their interests (being pro union, at least) and address their issues.

While the rhetoric has improved since the 90's and 00's (when you'd never hear the world "working class" on the lips of politicians) the substance (being willing to address issues) has not.

So the narrative points to an actual substantial issue which impacts the lives of an increasing number of people in the United States. It's not just wonks blathering.
"On a lark" is something I (a native English speaker, from London, which is in England, after which the language is named) have never heard or seen written -- anywhere -- before your ill-considered and wholly-incorrect posts on this thread.

> The First Amendment covers academia which receives Federal Funds

This isn't true.

1. Private colleges and universities that receive federal funds (e.g., the form of Pell Grants, government-originated student loans, or even research grants) have no obligation to offer faculty any amount of intellectual freedom. (Tangentially, this is highly unlikely to change as long as evangelical Christians are a non-trivial bloc within the GOP; tons of bible colleges, religiously affiliated colleges/universities, and seminaries rely on federal funds in one form or another. The evangelical world has a vested interest in maintain the financial viability of these institutions without sacrificing their character.)

2. Even at public universities, this still isn't true. Government employees enjoy asoundingly expansive free speech rights compared to private sector employees, but, crucially, only in their capacity as private citizens! Public statements made in pursuit of official duties are not generally protected under 1A. NB: the tweets came from an official account.
The Telegraph leans strongly conservative just as the Guardian leans strongly left. This seems like a very slanted article; it buries the mortality impact of CVOID until near the end. I seriously doubt that Norway would prefer to swap its ~10x lower death rate for Sweden's GDP numbers. Further:

In a paper published last week in science journal Nature, Dr Bhatt, together with the UK's former government advisor Neil Ferguson and other researchers, estimated that if the UK had adopted Sweden’s policies, its death rate would have been between two and four times higher.

"What Sweden did was a pandemic response that involved large numbers of interventions, a considerable amount of reliance on population behaviour and population adherence, and a reliance on the intricacies of what makes Swedish culture Swedish culture,” Dr Bhatt said.

"If the UK had adopted what Sweden did, I have no doubt in my mind that it would have had an absolute disaster."

¯\(°_o)/¯

Notably, the Telegraph is not calling for people int he UK to be more like Swedes.

Underrated truth - have owned a Tesla for 5 years, and the number of stupid things that go wrong with it is incredibly high. It works like a phone...after a number of years, it takes forever to boot and has plethora of bugs. Random stuff breaks/falls off. We're going to see even more of this in 10 years, as the cars that were produced during the scaling period start falling apart. What sets automakers apart is that you can buy a used car after 10 years and expect it to still work.

The previous owners planted a bunch of them on our acreage here and they're also really annoyingly brittle vs the native maples. They get damaged in storms easier. I'm constantly cleaning up from them.

I'm currently resting my legs on a coffee table made from the trunk of one that came down in a burst storm some years ago. It's a soft maple but quite nice for wood working.

Just biding my time until the natives I planted next to them grow up a bit more and then I will take them all down and get them milled up.

>- modern frameworks have a much higher startup time (see Python imports, Java VM and other)

That's fine, they can keep. TFA suggests using CGI in lieu of modern frameworks, not WITH modern frameworks.

>- it prevents any form of caching. caching is very important for many use cases.

No, it really doesn't. You can cache whole responses with a reverse proxy on top, or you can cache complex results in whatever (Redis, disk, etc) and query it from the CGI program.

>- it requires to open a fresh connection with every request, to the database and elsewhere

Which might be fine. MySQL for example is notoriously cheap to connect to for each request. Redis as well. (And you can always bump CGI to FastCGI).

>- SSL is everywhere and it has a notable overhead on initialization, meaning you really wish you could reuse connections

You can terminate SSL on your proxy, so that's not a issue.
> I don't think anybody knows how Sweden would have done with a different response to the Covid. In any case, on an objective scale, I think they've done quite well and they had a less miserable experience than the rest of us.

So first you claim we don't know. Then you claim they've "done quite well". Which is it? What was the purpose of the first sentence?
Capitalism combined with the current money system creates a class of humans that cannot work and receive a living wage even if they wanted. It's the failures of capitalism and zero lower bound fiat that created the need of social welfare. The idea that social welfare is the cause of problems is completely absurd. It's just one of the hundreds of symptoms of a handful of core problems.

For example, Germany is conducting an import deficit policy, meaning it is exporting more to Greece than it is importing from Greece leading to money flowing out of Greece. The capitalist answer is that the entire Greek population should move to Germany because that is where the jobs are. It's not just Greece, it also applies to every country that is poorer than Greece. We then get to enjoy the benefit of blaming the other nation for committing band aid policies like social welfare. Haha, they are so stupid, right?

I can list more second or third order effects of a broken monetary system but you will probably think that the demise will stem from the symptoms.
Hiring a broad set of domain experts != a domain/vertical focused business. ‘Doctors’ can cover a massive disparate field of study.

My point is they did it backwards, they should have found real world healthcare problems to solve then built the common ground between them. Building a generic API platform or cloud database turned out to not be the problem anyone needed help solving. Most companies who did the integration to Health did it for marketing, not because it was essential to any business value.

How many companies have done “AI” merely for marketing too?

Google search ranked websites better than anyone, they zeroed in on that one problem and removed all the cruft, while Yahoo and others were jamming as much crap into their ‘portals’ as possible. Google seemed to have forgot that lesson.

Waymo fell for this too. They built an entirely new type of car and gambled on a whole new taxi service (among other promises) that would entirely disrupt transportation - as the starting point. Innovation rarely ever jumps ten steps ahead like that. They chose to solve a thousand problems at once while the rest of the world with actual delivered products are struggling to solve even assisted highway driving in high-end luxury cars.. cars people were going to buy anyway.
It is stated in an inflammatory manner, and 'don't downvote this comment' is certainly not appropriate, but I think the charitable interpretation is that the purpose of that comment was to provide context for the linked article.

I was tempted to just downvote this, but I thought I'd reply instead:

No, they do not. An existing version of an app may get better over time, but unfortunately it then gets replaced with a different version, which starts from the position of extreme bugginess.

In the case of Microsoft Office apps, for instance, one could easily argue that they are steadily getting worse as more and more features are added.

Google Chrome is pretty clearly getting worse in terms of the amount of memory it uses. I could go on.

> The Telegraph is essentially the mouthpiece of the British commercial property landlord classes, who have a vested interest in getting people back into the offices and shops in their portfolios.

I'm curious, how does it work in reality? A boardroom meetings where landlord's representative decide what to publish in the next issue to get people into commercial property? A weekly reviews of editors where they have their KPI tied to how well they lure people into buildings? Phone calls from commercial union leaders to publishing houses asking for specific results? Do we have some good articles which would describe mechanics of that or is it all successful clandestine operations?

The Fastest Way to Visualize Correlation in Python
Eh, there's like six separate issues that led to this.

1. Interface accepted blank value for a form when a numeric value is required.

2. Application and database permitted a null or coerced a zero when the value is required and cannot be zero. You've got to sanitize your input.

3. Application did not check for or gracefully handle something as common as a division by zero exception. Instead it proceeded to a buffer overrun and crashed.

4. Application crashing apparently caused an OS crash? Yes, okay, it's NT 4.0 and a buffer overrun, but that still should not happen. Protected mode is a thing.

5. There is no redundancy in a system that manages the steering, weapons, and engines of a warship.

6. A warship was unable to restore the single CNC system to working order for 23 hours.

Furthermore... there's no evidence that the software would have behaved more sensibly or more controllably if it had a value of infinity instead of an error. It shouldn't have had a zero in the first place.
Having things server side is an optional feature that has some value.

But not being able to trust the device itself makes it pretty much useless.
Sure, Panasonic will be fine (or at least able to compete).

Denso (34% of revenue in traditional thermal control, i.e. radiators, water pumps, etc., also famous for spark plugs) will take a hit.

The thousands of much smaller companies that specialise in precisely fabricating minor parts (say, exhaust pipe mounts or engine mounts), less so. The expertise is not so transferable.

There will be change, and everybody hates that.
