I'm truly humbled to be alive at a time when so many of the biggest questions that frustrated our ancestors have more or less accurate answers. We know about the big bang, the atom, black holes, the speed and nature of light--how majestic and beautiful it all is. Thank you to all the physicists that got us here, and godspeed to the physicists of the future!
Hedonics are one of the best arguments against CPI - https://wolfstreet.com/2019/12/05/what-worries-me-about-hedo...

This M3 nonsense is ridiculous though, I agree.
It is very, very good. You can try it even without phoenix 1.6 as a hex package and it's great.
Ever sell any of them?
Ansible Techniques I Wish I’d Known Earlier
Try it on openSUSE, the best KDE integration by far IMHO, since it is their standard DE since IDK/forever? Tumbleweed offers the newest packages, rolling like Arch, but with a huge test battery on OBS (https://openbuildservice.org/). Snapshots on upgrade make the thought of breakage (haven't had any) tolerable.

There's really nothing surprising about this conclusion. Before Covid came along and the focus inexplicably shifted to antibodies-only, it was well understood that infection with a pathogen was always likely to result in better immunity than vaccination.
Yeah, no.

Being essentially a colonial slave does not help at all increase labour productivity, nor valorizing labour. Having no ownership of the capital your labour is used into doesn't help.

From that on you can very easily get a 100 year setback economically. Then you have to play catch-up economically. That's where the social dysfunction, literal assasinations, and ethnic regimentation kick in :)

Sure it's not 100% about colonialism, but that's the deciding factor.
Could you elaborate on what Descartes did? He's known as the inventor of coordinate geometry, which seems to rely on the notion of number as the length of a line segment (two number lines placed perpendicular to one another uniquely identify any point on the plane). Are you talking about his work on algebra or other things?
We're already there. We have huge companies using elixir and phoenix, with phoenix powering the web platform for the majority of them. Several great case studies exist on elixir-lang.org if you're interested, ie:

Change.org

And of course Bleacher Report, which has been on Phoenix since 2014, well before 1.0.

On the sponsorship side, DockYard invested in my work for the last six years where I spent the majority of the year working on oss, and I've just joined https://fly.io where I'll spend 85% of my time working on Phoenix and related libraries. So we are well covered on the corporate sponsorship side. We also have Michael Crumm on the Phoenix team who works at Cargo Sense, where they support a portion of his time working on LiveView. Of course it would be great for other large companies leveraging value out of our work to give back, but we're well established on the sponsorship side :)

Agreed ! My experience as well, otherwise Phoenix does looks very good yes.

What would remove the distortion would be a 3D plot on the surface of a cylinder.

However, connecting the end of one year to the start of the next is not what's important. Having a undistorted line graph that plots each year would be much more informative.
With that long list of problems and failed sensors & software on the Nauka module, the Russian team's hands-on real-time efforts to keep the thing functionally flying seem quite impressive - sharp save-the-day work.

That said, allowing the thing to dock before they could implement more stable fixes seems quite unwise - and especially just before a flight path out of communication with the team. Why couldn't they just wait a few orbits or days?

Seems as unwise as launching a shuttle in out-of-spec cold conditions, they just barely got away with it this time. I recall seeing a recent high level criticism of NASA losing (again) its safety culture - seems like another supporting data point for that thesis.

What's wrong with 2.weeks.from_now ? I get that it hurts your sensibilities (SOLID etc), truth is it's fine. I've seen a good share of Rails projects and never had a problem with this yet. We tend to have a knee-jerk reaction to certain things, and sometimes for good reason, but ActiveSupport is used in millions of Rails projects and nothing horrible happens.
Sounds like you've never worked on a team.
This is a poor take. Productivity is meaningless, leverage and impact is everything.

Tim Cook working for one day could easily have a larger impact than most people will have in their entire lives because he has extremely high leverage.

Is it fair? Absolutely not, but life is not fair. I don't understand what moral obligation society should have to base compensation on productivity.

PS: you could argue that Tim Cook is far more productive than everyone else because he produces far more results than everyone else.
Aren't the Chinese office workers working 996 making double the salary of their peers, with much better career prospects?

Clearly that's not what the GP means, because there would be no dilemma with someone living in a property held by a landlord for more than 30 days if the absentee landlord can just live next door.
Wow, never seen such a brutal put down of 7 Habits.

I kind of get where you’re coming from, but it was still one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read, by a mile. Not just for “working effectively” either, it’s really a book about living a good, balanced, purposeful life.

Also I would encourage people to listen to at least one of Stephen Covey’s narrated audiobooks (7 Habits or First Things First). The guy was full of wisdom, authenticity and compassion, and you can hear it in his voice. Not to mention the subject matter (in my opinion) is solid gold.

Yes his books were a bit wordy but they’re still very much worth a read (or listen) IMHO.
What's the other 15% of your time? :)
Interestingly enough most of these are also possible because of advancements in physics.
I still use a Mac Mini from 2009 as my main computer although I have upgraded the hard drive to a solid state disk and expanded the memory from 2 GB to (maximum) 8 GB. I run Debian on it with the window manager Blackbox. Other World Computing has great upgrade instruction videos for all models.
~20 domains

I seen a three letter .com go for silly money so I wrote a script that found unregistered domains that are four letters or less and registered a bunch of them.

Haven't sold any yet and they are completely random like tqzo.com just short. I used ovh.com because they are cheap and offer free privacy protection.

In the past I have also used godaddys domain backorder to grab expiring domains.
> you can probably get away with not using virtualization, aka eating 100% CPU (or at least 100% of one core)...

That's not how virtualization works, it's time sliced which is why you can have more vCPUs than physical CPUs. You can also limit the slice utilization to an arbitrary percentage or give it a priority level for scheduling.
Isn't turbulence more a mathematical problem than a physical one?
This is a ludicrously expensive suggestion. Also imagine the queues as each car waits to turn into its destination building.
That's a very euro-centric view to sat that "humanity’s most extraordinary achievement" is something that has been developed/found out/whatever you want to call it mostly in the parts of the world inhabited by white men.

Like someone else mentions in this thread, probably "humanity’s most extraordinary achievement" was standing upright in the Ethiopian plains, or language or even writing (which showed up in several parts of the world) but, again, to label a thing invented by white men (paid to develop deadly weapons, among other bad things) as the "humanity's greatest thing ever" should not be ok.
Musk: Bezos retired in order to pursue a job filing lawsuits against SpaceX
1) is 2 points (the second touched on by point 5). 1st, it makes development stupid if you have moving targets (not as bad today, but ffs it was horrible in the early days). 2nd is 99.99% of consumer computer users have a hard enough time with OS GUIs that hold their hand - the fact I cannot sit someone down to any 3 random linux machines and have the same experience (again MUCH worse 20 years ago) means it can never make desktop inroads.

2) here is where peoples blind spots can be, but they really reallllly don't understand that MS made some apps that basically need to be aped feature for feature to allow for migration to linux as a desktop. Again touching on familiarity (as in with the gui) but also feature set. People who make money writing certain things can't use certain apps because the features needed by those users don't exist because the software (at the time it needed to be) wasn't mature enough.

3) Thunderbird and evolution are not replacements for outlook. Exchange/outlook had database backed mail and calendaring. No one to this day is even remotely close. Not google, not anyone. This is the biggest app in business for better or worse. Not only did you have database backed calendaring and email, but you also had ridiculously fine-grained group policy management, and way better tools for retention (and this is actually a bfd) If an oss replacement had been made 15-20 years ago the computing landscape would be hugely different.

Only windows gets the full feature set to this day - ios/mac/android/web all don't get the full thing (because no/limited GPOs)

There WAS a project called zimbra or something, and I think they knew replacing exchange was a holy grail (and wanted to benefit monetarily), but iirc it was a paid thing, and never took off in any meaningful way.

4) remember, you, we, are not 99.99% of computer users. I have had hmm, 4 linux laptops over the years, and while fine, it was never problem free. Driver support mostly came down to age and brand, most of them were Dells.

postposterous!
A very long time ago we outsourced our Wordpress development and customization to a developer we found on a website who was from Moldova. He did pretty decent work and we got a great deal, but the HTML/CSS was a bane to work with. Almost half the DIV id's and such were spelled slightly wrong. Didn't affect the operation of the site but was very annoying to work with.
That's a bit of an absolutist stance I think, a good programmer can use stored procedures just fine and in some cases it can even improve performance. Yes it makes it easier for bad programmers to write bad code, but bad programmers will write bad code no matter what tools they have in their toolbox.
There is apparently a recent push to go after exploitative practices of big giants, including also in terms of labour policies (including treatment of delivery workers).

And if you want a cynical reading - the companies that are famous for 996 are also the kind of companies that are recently getting reminders that they do not guide the policy in the country, so it's beneficial for the party to actually prosecute them.
Ruby companies like AirBNB, Stripe ended up edging out their competitors using the relatively glacial Java or C++ frameworks. We will need to see a new generation of Phoenix winners before Elixir is taken seriously.

It could be that the marginal performance gain from using Elixir is not worth the hassle of training and hiring in a whole new language. It remains to be seen.
Well it does collapse right now, doesent it?

The Tax-idermy, were a society pushes ridiculous amounts of stabilization money into collapsing external peripheral "shell" societies who in return send refugee waves in convulsions, while slowly sinking into the civil/war/crime collapse accepting end-state is in full, brutally visible progress.

The politicians, leering for the authoritarian toolkit, because they doubt they can stabilize the mess that is to come.

How bad does it have to get, before you take a step back and acknowledge, that yes, this is un-subjective worser and even local recovery is unlikely, due to interconnected nature of global society and nature.

Sorry if things are bleak, but software seems to be one of the few levers i myself can pull towards a positive outcome, a better place, by allowing others to escape the dystopia of government eating the cooperated monopolies for societal control because government needs to be in control of something- anything and its definitely not in control of anything that would change outcomes.
Japan did have an empire for a few decades in the early 1900s but there's no way any benefits from that persisted into the post-war period. Anyway their industrialisation was a cause of their imperial success, knocking over their neighbours that had failed to develop, not a result of it.

I see you avoided mention of South Korea or Taiwan. Israel is another example. I'm actually pretty bullish on Iran if they could kick out the clerics, that country has massive potential.

I think it's fair to characterise China as an imperial power, but how much of their current economic power actually comes from controlling say Tibet or Xinjiang? Those are marginal backwaters. They get a bit of forced labour and cheap vegetables. Maybe some minerals, but nothing they couldn't have bought fairly cheaply from Australia.

Do you actually, genuinely think not having their peripheral controlled territories would have prevented China developing? Seriously?
Apple is one of the most user hostile companies there is, yet they seem to completely lack that reputation. Their marketing team is phenomenal.
You can't reason somebody out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

I suppose you could try showing them some of the hundreds of news articles about vaccine deniers who died begging for the vaccine, or the testimony of people who survived with destroyed bodies, like this guy:

https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/they-sa...

But I doubt you're going to emotion them out of it. They picked the "long term effects" argument because it's foolproof. Twenty years from now they'll still be able to use the same argument. Their medicine cabinet is full of drugs introduced in the last 20 years, but they'll have plenty of reasons to claim that this kind of medicine is different so they're not really being inconsistent about it.

The only real argument you have is your presence. Breakthrough cases are a thing, and even though they're unlikely to hospitalize you, you risk transferring it to somebody else -- a child under 12, a person with a suppressed immune system, somebody with an allergy to the vaccine. So you can't see them as long as they're taking the risk of infecting you.

But that argument is only meaningful if you stick to it. Are you willing to take that hit? Especially given that it's unlikely to work, and you'll have to follow through.

Because it's not really about long-term effects. It's about his ego and ideology. He's dedicated to the notion that COVID isn't so bad and walking that back would be a huge blow to his sense of self. Even more, I bet, than losing a brother.
Well, if the Dems didn't go completely wild on election fraud in 2020, there wuoldn't be so many legislative acts to make election fraud harder to perpertrate.

> These laws either target mail-in ballots, reduce the amount of time voters have to request or mail in a ballot, restrict the availability of drop-off locations, impose stricter signature requirements for mail-in voting, or enact new and stricter voter-ID requirements.

There's hardly anything unreasonable here.

> Likewise, S.F. 173 in Minnesota would require voters to provide an ID to vote in person, which would increase the burden for people who don’t drive;

Take a cab and bring an ID. How hard is that? You have 12+ months to get one.

There's too much whining for my liking - it reads like a "think of the children" justification for rigging US elections.

Do the disabled vote the same way as able-bodied? If yes, then the impact on election results is minimal. It'd sure be nice if everyone could vote from their homes, but "this is why can't have nice things":

Negative - if these are going to be treated like keys where the integer value needs to retain the same meaning between builds, then an enum is the wrong abstraction to use.
Very good summary.

“In this pandemic a complexity of factors has created a powerful tendency for HIT overestimation. Which factors and how they interacted to produce such dominant pro-lockdown current seems an important topic for transdisciplinary research in years to come.”
> of course you have. My point isn't that v6 multi-homing is any different from v4 multi-homing. My point is that multi-homing is rare with v4 but very common and required for v6. So what's often not an issue at all on anybodies radar in a v4 network is something everybody has to deal with in a v6 network.

Multi-homing (connecting to multiple different networks) isn't required in IPv6 at all. Having multiple different addresses on the same subnet isn't multi-homing, and the link local address of fe80:: isn't a different network. Operating systems won't even use the link local address to establish a connection unless specifically forced to.
That could work really great for connecting among hosts in my network (but IPv4 and an appropriate 172.x.x.x subnet works just fine, with the bonus one IP has Internet access while remaining unchanging), and is something I may try if I ever get back to re-configuring my home network (so take an upvote from me), but it still doesn’t solve the pesky “one IP for localhost issue”.

Sure, I could give localhost a lot more addresses in IPv6 with the appropriate `ipconfig` or `ip` command, but that doesn’t work with the testing Docker container whose Dockerfile I share with my users (since their Docker container will have only one IPv6 address; also, you can’t run `ipconfig`/`ip` type stuff in a Docker container).
I believe the specific evolution called for using full length addresses for simplicity - i.e. CLNP with always 20byte long address fields.
You wouldn’t want to be handling it like a desk toy..
Good word ergonomics.

All the "but ipv6 is better because... xyz" just don't ring true to me, but I'm not a full time admin.

I still see "Quit remembering addresses - we have DNS!". My consumer equipment all have "192.168.0.1" and "192.168.2.1" type addresses. Relying on my browsers to be able to discover 'cable_modem.dyn' on a local network doesn't work - instructions will just say "go to 192.168.0.1" and put in a password. Good luck trying to get people to go to "[ff00]:0:0" or... whatever the heck you'd have to put in. Having foreign CSRs trying to explain what a square bracket is to people at home trying to set up a new cable modem... way too much headache.

And... there are millions of people that have to do this. There's perhaps tens of thousands of high-level network admins working to route everything through major global networks, but there's hundreds of millions of people that have to deal with and use all the stuff at the end points, and millions of us who serve as defacto "tech support" people for families/friends/neighbors.
If his compensation is tied to the market value of Apple, of course it matters how big Apple is. If it were worth $5 trillion today, his compensation would have been double.
Mostly agreed, and I think the point about efficiency working against latency is both important and widely ignored. And not just in software, but software process.

There's a great book called Principles of Product Development Flow. It carefully looks at the systems behind how things get built. Key to any good feedback loop is low latency. So if we want our software to get better for users over time, low latencies from idea to release are vital. But most software processes are tuned for keeping developers 100% busy (or more!), which drastically increases system latency. That latency means we get a gain in efficiency (as measured by how busy developers are) but a loss in how effective the system is (as determined by creation of user and business value).
My mother's friend's husband is a math professor at a university in Kansas. A major complaint of his is students coming in who aren't able to add fractions.

So I don't see the big qualitative difference between complaints about bottom-end Chinese college students and complaints about bottom-end American college students, no.

If it's of interest, I looked into gaokao test scores a while ago and the cutoff for being admitted to a Chinese university lies around the 40th percentile. The schools are officially divided into two tiers (obviously, there are finer distinctions you can make), and the cutoff for the higher tier is around the 80th percentile. So a large number of Chinese universities should have almost the entire student body within what you might think of as an IQ range from 96 to 112.
> I personally want open discussion within boundaries. So does the law.

The Taliban want discussion within boundaries, so does the law. It's a valid statement yet provides no insight into whether those boundaries are the same or even of the same category.

Would you support Reddit, as an American company, setting its boundaries for speech to the same limits as American law?

I doubt it.
