I'm previous generation from you (OK boomer!) but I bought the cd as soon as I saw the video for "smells like teen spirit". That album, Alice in chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, all just as good as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Beatles, the music I grew up with. They all had some iconic album covers, but I'm really not sure the cover has much to do with how many albums sell. Look at the Beatles white album, or Metallica's black album.

Yup, and they know it. Ageism is totally supported, in tech. Companies run ads that basically say "Bros only."

Good way to get yourself blackballed. I wouldn't even mention it now, if I were looking for work.
Yes, we were forced into an unnatural, unexpected situation of remote work and social isolation. Remote work used to be a treat, something you did when you needed repairs done around the house. Now it's a Zoom-powered dystopian nightmare.

I think this thread gets to the heart of why engineers seem to have a more difficult relationship with performance management than most disciplines.

When management gives opaque or “unjust” performance reviews, it can almost directly trigger burnout in tech. Similarly if the process is not perceived as transparent engineers can simply feel like they are hitting a brick wall.

Given the high turnover rate in tech I’ve sometimes wondered if it’s even worth having a performance management process. Unless someone has straight up stopped working for a prolonged period, it’s unlikely that they will stay with the company long anyway.
I think the bigger issue, IMHO, is that the US population has grown massively, and we are also attracting way more [wealthy] overseas students, yet the number of "prestigious" universities hasn't growth accordingly. Naturally there is huge tension.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_the_Uni...

Prestigious is opinion, of course, but Ivy / Ivy+ / Seven-Sisters / whatever your definition of desirable college might me, I dont think that list has grown as much as population. So we need to grow seats+faculties or we need to foster more colleges to attract the increased population.

EDIT:
I myself went to UC Berkeley for grad school, and Cornell for undergrad. I can already see that my children, who would be applying ~2031-2033 would have a way more difficult time getting into the same institutions, given ever-increasing applications and ever lower acceptance rates. I hope there are many more universities we can select from in 2031...or I hope my startup takes off and i'm rich, which would probably solve the problem per my understanding of how these things work...
It's such a breath of fresh air to run a barebones OS that hasn't become corpulently bloated over the last few decades. This basically restricts you to slim server-oriented operating systems like {Open,Free}BSD and a small number of Linux distros. Everything feels lightning fast. Of course, if you need to use a web browser or something the benefit disappears.

It's a plausible enough mistake to have happened before. Which to me, is good enough reason to not outright dismiss it as "obviously false".

Some Polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40 for years, and it does, in fact, alter human DNA.

For COVID-19, there have been at least 2 major cases of live virus vaccine contamination and recall. In the case of the Sputnik vaccine in Brazil and South Africa, there are claims that at least some made it into patients.

And then the "Baltimore Factory" testimony before Congress included company executives admitting to making ~100 million contaminated doses, more than the number of safe doses they had produced.

So this "don't mind him, he does conspiracies" attitude isn't doing anything except getting nods from those that don't need convincing, and proving to skeptics that you have a knowledge gap, whether it's ultimately relevant or true (or not).

I don't think it's currently happening happening here (at a minimum, adenovirus doesn't alter your DNA), but I also think it's just as reckless to imply that any concerns aren't legitimate or that it's impossible.

My anecdata is definitely this. I used to pay for almost all my media, but switching regions, logging in and out of shit, buying iTunes cards on ebay, checking through 4 different streaming apps, and then extra work when you do find what you want and try to watch it only to be told your subscription doesn't actually cover it but you can pay extra (looking at you, Amazon Prime), it's just so much fucking work when tracker -> torrents dir -> plex is so much easier and user-friendly.

> While saying "almost all" real numbers are irrational... is saying that real values are all irrational, except for... the entire infinitely large set of rational numbers.

You're claiming that the precise mathematical definitions of these terms are ridiculous, and then just repeating those mathematical definitions of the terms to support your claim.

> That's my whole point -- that meanings are being mixed up, that this way of classifying infinite sets shouldn't be conceptualized as "size" at all because the analogies break down, well, instantly.

The whole point is that when you're comparing infinite sets, common sense terms like "size," "almost all," etc. don't make any sense at all, so mathematicians create precise definitions for the terms that are then used among all mathematicians and do make sense. These terms are common among mathematicians and they do make sense.

The fact that these definitions don't precisely match the definitions used by non-mathematicians is precisely the goal, because those definitions make no sense whatsoever when referring to infinite sets. It's okay to complain about using jargon in discussions not related to mathematics, although that's not what is happening here (and it's difficult to imagine a conversation about infinite sets that is not also about mathematics). This complaint is comparable to complaining that the definitions of "sharp" and "flat" in music theory don't at all match the definitions of "sharp" and "flat" used in conversations not about music.

I suppose another way to approach this is to ask what you would propose the term "almost all" to mean when referring to an infinite set? For that matter, what do you propose that the term "almost all" means to a layperson referring to small finite sets? What percentage do you need in order to use "almost all"?

My main problem with the government is that I can't choose another government where I am, which means the government can be inefficient and unfriendly towards consumer (big public spending, bureaucracy).
It's not because of the illusion of being stateless; if nobody protects you, everyone can kill you, as that couple of bitcoin traders found out when trying to setup camp in international waters. It's mainly so that different agencies can compete with each other and so that nobody has a monopoly on violence.

Small independent entities would also have incentives to keep laws and contracts small and short: they can't afford to spend public money to make them and they won't care about victimless crimes like our governments love to do.

Overall, I think we can come with a society that is more decentralised, more efficient and closer to what consumers want.

IIRC before 2007 debian policy was that packages had to be installed from tarball even if a repo existed. Thus it is likely that the info about the repository was simply not tracked. It might still be the case for many packages.

It stemmed from the fact that often releases tars might not be exactly the same as asking git to do a tarfile. For example releasing Python packages may require a build step and installing from PyPI or a git repo is sometime not the same.

For Spotify JRE is just legitimacy and market leadership, I don’t think they expect to make the $100m back from ads or people paying to hear Joe Rogan. It was just an acquisition to try to get podcast distribution synonymous with Spotify.

For Rogan, he could have tried to monetise his audience directly but probably couldn’t be arsed, or maybe thought people wouldn’t pay. Easier to take the $100m and keep focusing on content instead of commerce
So I watched the debate that they had which I think is better than reading this guy snipe Paul from his blog. It’s pretty clear to me who won. This guy was super childish during the debate and was pulling stunts with vegetables. And it’s also clear that paradoxically he doesn’t seem to have deep knowledge of chemistry or biology. But Paul’s medical background really shines in places. I’ve seen a lot of Paul’s content and, as a person with a Background in biology, I have never detected intellectual dishonesty let alone BS.

How in the world does this satisfy the advertisers? They send the personal identifying details of each customer to Google/FB, and then Google/FB tells them "oh yeah, that guy totally saw an ad"?

"We must remove that stuff because those ideas are dangerous/offensive, and if you disagree with removing it then you must agree with that filth!" is extremely helpful to the sorts of people who do edgy stuff to attract attention and then try to memoryhole it once they get a big audience.
