My favourite unpopular opinion: Microservices are a great way to enable 100 engineers to work on a product when otherwise you would have needed at least 10 engineers to achieve the same.
I don’t think you’ve meaningfully proved that claim. The point was that you can, in fact, quite easily game stats even for murder. I’ll add this[1] as another example.

No the escort ships do not know exactly where the sub is.

Its so easy to generate simple web pages for text-only viewing. I have the process automated. I do not understand why web developers argue "it's not worth it". The developer time needed to generate such pages is close to zero.

Right, that's why I said "Many chinese".

What I'm reacting to is the general tone that the CCP just forces draconian measures down everyone's throats as if no one could possibly ever agree, but also not dare speak up. What I mean is that the characterization that the whole populace just puts up with crap is a bit inaccurate because there are in fact supporters, just like there are both supporters and detractors to controversial government decisions on this side of the pond.

As someone else pointed out, these initiatives get passed precisely because there's enough support for it at some relevant branch of government, rather than being some sort of dictatorial whim of the party leader. And this process doesn't strike me as being super different from the way our democratically elected representatives bring up new bills.
Its a quadrant. Positive, Negative, False Positive, False Negative
Misinformation is a necessary evil for free speech to exist. Is there any organization/individual/government that you trust to be the arbiter of truth?
That is true. I forgot about that part.

If one were to have an addiction, I'd pick video game addiction for them - the side effects are not like drugs, and it's possible to recover from it without major side effects, and in addition you can get a penchant for solving problems and learning quickly if you break out of the addiction cycle.

> Do you think it would have even been possible for one person to write Rust?

No, but I don't think it would be possible for someone to implement an S-expression Rust dialect on top of CL either.

> Do you really think we would be behind where we are today?

Hard to say. The counterfactual world where everyone decided to build on top of CL is so weird it's hard to say anything about it. Also, "improving CL" is an unclear term. For example if you want to replicate all the benefits of Rust by "improving CL" then that means, among other things, you need an implementation of "CL" that can compile your Rust-equivalent subset/superset of CL to bare metal with no runtime (including no GC). That implementation will take advantage of Rust ownership and other properties thus will not compile regular Lisp code. If you have a separate implementation for a special dialect of CL with distinct static and dynamic semantics from normal Lisp, it is only very loosely still "CL".

> In Common Lisp, it is possible for a single person to write something truly useful. In other languages, it is not.

This is an absurd overgeneralization that makes you sound like a nut.

"...and by 'we', of course, I mean a team of developers larger than our entire engineering division, dedicated to developing and maintaining xyz. Why do you ask?"
OK cool. I'm certainly a huge terminal user myself and no advocate of increasing mouse usage in general, but for working through things like compiler errors / stack traces etc, wouldn't you agree that, seeing as all the file path and line number is present, we should be able to invoke the appropriate handler with a single UI action (where appropriate handler means "open file at this line")? The number 17 isn't itself of interest, and it shouldn't have to pass through our brains IMO. The semantics should be "open editor at this error" not "open editor at line 17".

The NZ troops gunned down the American forces? What war are you talking about?
Yes. First bootstrap yourself with enough vocab and grammar that you understand the majority of the words (due to Zipf's law that will be a relatively small number of words).

Then talk to native speakers, for hours a day, so that you internalize it all and can consume and produce sentences without thinking.

We do not apply this kind of logic anywhere else. Lets say for example plants that we eat because they taste good. It doesn't really matter if you can find someone who likes to eat birch wood and says it tastes good, to make the statement "birch wood is tasty" true.

Saying "everyone is beautiful" is like say "everyone smells good". Is simply not true and the rest is just a language trick. It does not mean the same as "everyone smells good to someone". Which would still be a assumption without any proof that is only probably true because of the sheer number of people that exist.
Not only your own detection range, but those of other vessels and listening stations that are aligned with you.
For projects of mixed quality without basically an unbounded workforce maintaining them (who could investigate rare/arcane bugs "introduced" by the "optimizers" in some builds), and/or using "tricks", I too am fond of not using LTO.

But then I force myself to find a second reason for why the program will run correctly, and unfortunately nowadays it is more and more being strictly-conforming. Relearning std::launder, TBAA, pointer provenance, etc. every time is way too consuming. I'm forced to give-up on programmer optimization and hope for the compiler to be really up to its mythical promises (and this yet: without LTO; too dangerous...)
I'm glad that works for you, but I am also really glad that I don't work with you.
In a way, it’s funded by the entities that actually need to pay for an FCC license (mainly commercial ones)… AFAIK, the FCC ULS (Universal Licensing System) is a unified database of all FCC licensees, regardless of type. If paying licensees can fund the database, then tacking on Amateur licenses to it is a marginal (if not effectively zero) cost.
This phenomenon of talking like the other gender or a cartoon character etc happens often but indicates somewhat low proficiency, even if the speaker is “fluent” in the literal sense of speaking smoothly without halting. Really learning a complex modern language (as an educated adult) involves having understaning of multiple registers like slang, casual conversation, news, formal, ceremonial, poetic language etc. So if you can’t recognize “I’m speaking like a girl” and stop doing it you have a long way to go I would argue.
My sticking point with that would be the point about the Japanese having "committed to surrender" prior to the bombs being dropped, which can't really be argued convincingly. The dysfunctional Japanese military hierarchy had trouble committing to anything short of aggressive militarism, which was a major reason for the war being launched in the first place, then continued despite the obvious hopelessness of the Japanese position. Even after the Emperor had officially ordered surrender (via a radio address, in which he explicitly mentioned the influence of the atomic bombs), a group of Japanese officers attempted to depose him in a coup—and this was far from an unprecedented event in a political environment that often punished any public position short of fanatical hawkishness with assassination.

To argue that the atomic bombs were not decisive requires ignoring a lot of primary source evidence—including the declaration of surrender read by the Emperor to the Japanese people—in favor of mostly conspiratorial innuendo that is only convincing to those already inclined to be skeptical of contemporary American power structures. Beyond that, the argument seems to assume an omniscience on the part of Allied leaders. What was known at the time was that Japanese soldiers were often fighting to the last man, holding hopeless positions for the purpose of causing as many casualties to the enemy as possible, and that because of this American political will to continue the war was wavering, putting the goal of victory by unconditional surrender in doubt. In that context it was deemed necessary to end the war as quickly as possible.

I don't think that anyone would argue that dropping the atomic bombs was the only way to end the war. Alternatives were considered—but it was thought that those alternatives would result in an unsatisfactory postwar settlement, and simply repeat mistakes made in the aftermath of the last great war. In short, if the last years of the war were conducted with great brutality, it was because they were intended to be decisive.

(I don't disagree with you that a lot of popular Western histories undervalue contributions by the Soviet Union, but that largely applies to the war against Germany and its European allies, not the war in the Pacific. The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, for example, was probably a contributing factor to the collapse of support for the war, but far from a decisive one.)
Well, yes. That's because it drives engagement, sells ads, and makes money. As long as they social media companies can keep the "both sides" field open they can occupy that space for profit as long as they want, without regard to morality or ethics.
Where to find companies who wish to outsource?
Hello,

I would like to find companies that are trying to outsource their projects to external firms/contractors who bid on a project basis (rather than hourly).

I assume that these types of contracts are only done through personal relationships. Could someone provide more info?
Geezus, now card games are being ruined by racial narrative, too.

I and many other people grew up playing Spades, and this is the first whiff of any such historical rewriting that I've encountered (though I shouldn't be surprised). I have no doubt that blacks as a group developed an affinity for the game -- but this piece tries to claim what is otherwise a unifying game is really all about black history. This is right up there with last year's "Police were invented to hunt escaped slaves".

Wikipedia is no ultimate source, but even there the history relates it to other, similar games, and reinforces that it was made very popular by GIs during WWII.

Just renewed two licenses and two registrations at the "DMV" of my state. Actually just involved going to a kiosk at the grocery store, it took 10 minutes and was completely painless. On the other hand, the private trash company who provides service at my new house still hasn't refunded an overage from 4 months ago after several hours on hold and 4? 5? calls now..

Having terrible service at the DMV is a funding decision, not a necessity, and there's absolutely no guarantee that 'private' actors will be any better.
If you use something like which-key* you will see all available key combos as you hit them, I first saw this in spacemacs. This means even when I am unfamiliar with the key commands I have a very low friction way of seeing what's available, under thirty seconds.

The trick is to make your own dashboard but not calling it a dashboard. When they try to stop you, claim that it is not a dashboard (even though everybody knows it is a dashboard). Insist that they define, in writing, exactly what a dashboard is. Continue rejecting their definition with counter examples. Insist that the definition is unclear and needs to be defined in a formal language. Reject their formal definition after spending months being “too busy” to review it. Change the background colour/font/title and claim that it is changed so it needs to go through the review process again. Ask for their written definition of their review process. Insist that it is ambiguous and needs reviewing/fixing. Repeat forever.
They have, since 2018.

Given the exploits in the v2 onion sites, (suitably modified HSDirs being able to discover them and whatnot) the writing has been on the wall since well before then and it shouldn't be a surprise that they're going away.
What Covid misinformation? Who even cares? Isn't it obvious now that every piece of info was misinformation at some time in the past? Take anything from masks to medicines to vaccines to the origin. Every one of these has seen a 180 degree swing at some point, regarding what is considered the mainstream view. What's the rationale of censoring opposing viewpoints then? Those will almost certainly come to be accepted as the truth within the next year.

I think in general the US has tried to not be too overbearing with Iceland compared to other countries where the US has/had a military presence, but there's a few instances I can think of

The US leaned on Iceland really hard to reject China's invitation to the Belt and Road initiative (to the point where our politicians looked like complete jackasses), but I believe Iceland still hasn't joined in.

Going back way much further in history, the US also publicly pressured Iceland into desegregating Keflavik, after private negotiations didn't work out

Ahh, I get it, neat.
I'm not sure what you mean about relevance, but I'll attempt to answer.

This thread is debating whether we should be appalled at China for this law, or whether it's morally similar to some of our own laws (like banning drinking and gambling for minors). Bogwog suggested the difference is we banned minors from drinking democratically, while China's "supreme leader decided he knows what's best". The parent to Bogwog's comment suggested they're similar and we're holding China to a higher standard (possibly due to our biases).

As you say, in both cases children under 18 aren't allowed to vote. That seems like a similarity between here and China. If children could vote here, that would strengthen Bogwog's argument.

(If it makes a difference, I'm against governments restricting minors from playing video games more than 3 hours per week. But I also don't think democracy is what would make it okay.)

A lot else could be said about this. Just to list a few possible objections to the democracy argument:

- It's kind of easy to just throw the word "democracy" around without actually establishing why the law is just and good and moral. For example, if a democratic country decided to ban Muslims, would people think it was moral and justified?

- Maybe the commenter feels democracy justifies it because the people (indirectly) chose the law. But in this case, the majority (people over 21) are placing restrictions on a minority (people under 21). That's a possible failure of democracy: a majority can abuse a minority, even if the minority is overwhelmingly against the proposed law.

- On top of that, most of the people being restricted (people under 18 or 21 depending on which law and which state we're discussing) weren't allowed to vote at all. They can't choose representatives in Congress.

- The comment overstates the difference between the US and China and makes it sound like this law is solely the whim of a dictator. While the US is certainly much more democratic than China, the US isn't completely democratic, and China isn't completely undemocratic. China has elections (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_China). Video game addiction is a popular concern in China. South Korea democratically passed a similar (though less severe) law restricting video games for minors. This is a position of the communist party, with a lot of public support, not just a personal whim of Xi Jinping. (People exaggerate how much China is ruled solely by Xi Jinping instead of the party as a whole. Xi is powerful, but he can be replaced by the party and he's only been leader since 2012, and no person governs alone.) Meanwhile, there are many reasons why US politics don't always perfectly reflect the will of the people.
How would that even happen? A Democratic society that votes for that and whose courts uphold that would be a very different kind of Democracy. I can't even conceive of it.

That feels like a loaded question because something like that simply would never pass in a Democracy.
if you are thinking in terms of dependencies and a singular "stack", the organization is probably not complex enough for architecture as a function.

When you are running 5 different types of messaging queues, including 2 that were grown in-house, you need architecture.
I just wanted to chime in and mention that the folks who wrote organice[0] also came up with an EBNF grammar[1] for org-mode. Also of tangential interest is that work is actively being done on creating a tree-sitter version[2] of the grammar, although that work is not public (yet).

Without commenting on the specific issue at hand, if playing "a part in legislation" is a literal criterion for democracy, I think the direct democracy in a place like California (or Switzerland, and possibly 1-2 other places) which allow for public votes on essentially everything including constitutional amendments place a decent number of US voters ahead of most OECD counterparts.

Anecdotally, I think there are far more significant issues with US democracy than lobbying given that legislators still largely seem to do what they campaign on, lobbying-influenced or otherwise, and voters elect them in almost universally accepted elections. If the disconnect were between the expectations of voters (from campaigns, etc.) and actual legislation, I would be more inclined to place further blame on lobbying, but I'm not sure that's the case. I wouldn't say lobbying isn't a problem, obviously.
Another issue here is that UX/Product tend to focus on two or three privileged use cases at the expense of any concept of flexibility/extensibility: I’ve worked on several projects now that could have enabled some really fantastic third-party extension feature but, because these only appeal to a small fraction of the users, they’re never prioritized or thought about: the ethos embodies in a lot of the old Unix programs (emacs/vim) or even something like Excel is largely underserved.
