These are mostly bad organizational issues (and in some cases personal problems: learn to turn off notifications on your phone!!), not issues with chat; the majority of them would also apply to a typical office environment, with people wandering around talking about things they are doing, the visuals of seeing people grouping together to talk about things... only with chat you can trivially remove yourself from the noise and return to it later without missing anything, you have a complete searchable log of everything that was said in order, and you have a potentially infinite number of rooms in which to have separated meetings. Chat doesn't replace your self control and management issues: it replaces your office and provides a better set of tools for collaboration than a bunch of monkeys co-locating in a building making grunting noises that immediately fade into the ether could imagine.

I think the real historical curve is U-shaped.

Hunters and gatherers had a lot of oral culture and other art precisely because they didn't spend most of their time "working". They had more leisure time than early farmers. But, of course, hunting and gathering will only support relatively small populations, especially compared to agriculture.

Agriculture without industry was brutally demanding on the small folk, but as civilization progressed, we have reached the state when many of us have significant leisure time again.
That's funny. I hope to avoid that myself! People should use partners as one of many resources (especially for motivation and feedback), but should not be the sole resource to mimic.

A big thing to consider with registrars is support for 2FA - can't speak to ISNIC, but I recently moved all my domains to Namecheap because they have first-class support for U2F/Webauthn. (And also Hover lost a domain on me but that's another story)

Roughly 4.3M acres burned in 2020 [1]. I've seen estimates that CA has 15M - 20M acres of overgrowth above equilibrium due to fire suppression and a slowdown of old fire prevention techniques.

So, in roughly ~5 years, if we continue having massive fire seasons like 2020 and 2021. Though even at previous forest levels, hotter, drier summers could still lead to more fires than the historical average.

Also this strategy may involve sacrificing a few not-so-small towns.

The deteriorating UX.
Not that I sympathise much with the OP's father, but like most fathers he has the best intentions. In some cultures you can't waste your youth on frivolities, it's for building wealth to enjoy later. It works for some people and there is some merit in learning to defer happiness for periods of hard work, but you can't defer it forever. There is nothing wrong with relatively intense hobbies (the guitar can be very involving) but there is a good argument that an hour a day of practise is probably enough and securing a future needs to be done too.
So "your code" only means the stuff you typed in personally? None of the libraries you use, the operating system facilities, the runtimes or compilers, none of that is "yours"? So when it breaks or does something you don't understand, then what? File a bug report, call your work "blocked", and go home for the day?
This makes a ton of sense. I've heard it said that there are those that spread and those that stack when organizing. This is an example of a spread, where Word is made for stackers.

When I work on stuff it drives some people nuts because the idea I have is to spread all the pieces spatially so I can see all the parts at all times as I take things apart, and then condense it in as I finish. So when taking things apart, it uses a larger area. People like my dad will take things apart and all the parts get mixed into a place I find it hard to remember where they went, my short-term memory is shit.

For writing, I've always felt there hasn't been tools that allow writers that need to scatter parts/ideas and be able to drag them around and arrange them. Sometimes on writing papers and long-form works I write the bits, then later on 'stitch' them together. I can't remember if I just file in a note software, doesn't work super well.

Needs some UX work to better explain this, I hope I'm describing something along the lines of what you're trying to create, but that's how I'd use this.

There is an iPhone app for org-mode. It's free as in both. It's called beorg and it works great. Syncs org-mode files over iCloud and let's you edit them via a touch interface. Supports a very big subset of org features.

It works for me on Chrome but I had to use Wayland (not Xorg) and then force enable GPU rendering because it's currently blacklisted for Wayland. Possibly relatedly to that blacklist every couple of days (even with rebotos) new tabs in an existing browser window stop rendering content and I have to quit and reload. That doesn't seem to happen on Xorg/without GPU.
A short video or screenshot of the old workflow in Execel vs how it improves here would be nice as well.

I’ll believe Mark when it happens. In 2017 he also said he’d ship a billion oculuses; I think they sell maybe 3M a year.

My 2c; I did see their remote work demo and thought it was kind of cool, although (anecdotally) coding in a virtual screen tends to give me headaches. But until the headsets arent heavy, expensive, and silly-looking or require goofy paddles I do not think the VR metaverse will be gaining any mass traction.

Personally I have found current VR is fun for some games and tedious for everything else. The wow factor of a large expensive facial protrusion with a screen and gyro was gone by the time Oculus was acquired. What followed was a lowering of price, allowing for 4-5x more users per year to be disappointed. And Facebook has more or less failed at all their hw offerings thus far despite much PR, right? I dont see that changing. They should stick to monetizing your information IMO, they’ve been able to make that highly efficient and it doesn’t cost $800 for the end user or leave large imprints on their faces.
If it has I haven't seen it. It wouldn't be true SLC either, just TLC operated in SLC mode.
I must admit that two people in a row praising strength of their own ethical compasses makes me wonder.

Don't you realize that this judgment is best left to the outsiders? Humans are notoriously prone to misjudging themselves. We have all kinds of biases that allow us to see ourselves other than we really are.

I for one have never met a moral/ethical person who would brag about their own moral strengths like that.
I have turned two of my hobbies into businesses that are now full-time work for myself and part time work for two others (my wife and an employee we hired a couple of months back).

For me, the fact that you have to sell/market something isn't what makes it a stressful; I enjoy that aspect of it too.

Instead, I find most of the stress coming from the high stakes (if I make mistakes or work slowly, my business will fail and my children will grow up without a present father) and need to hyper-optimise (every single action is about maximising the amount of dollars earned per hour spent working).

I've found immense peace in the last few months in cleaning, of all things. It's not a traditional hobby, but the fact that I can make mistakes (or just not do it at all if I'm tired) with minimal consequences makes it so much less stressful than my businesses which do revolve around "traditional" hobbies.

Well, Joel first talks about 'great thinkers' and then about 'smart thinkers'. The latter kind seems to me a failed instance of the former kind. The architecture astronaut is a failed kind of thinker who is now inflicting his failure on all of us by actually never getting anything useful done while masquerading as a great thinker. There actually are great thinkers in history but they did not invent RPC protocols while at the same time thinking this would somehow be a technology revolution.

Since you're a software engineer in SF, I wouldn't be surprised if you have the financial ability to pay a homebuilder to build a concrete home in a rural, high-risk area.

But even putting the costs aside (which are out of the reach of many/most California rural homeowners) do you have the ability (expertise, materials, LABOR) to demolish and rebuild thousands upon thousands of homes scattered throughout California?

It's simply not as easy as having the "technology" and snapping your fingers. Forget building houses. Even finding someone to drill a well for you on short notice these days is next to impossible.

Yeah, my point is that most people that have do have high-end phones are better off with a smartphone than an entry-level camera with kit lens.

But if you're doing macro or telephoto or anything else, yeah, a bigger sensor camera with lenses is 10x better for the capabilities.
Nicely done. I do wish it could integrate the view that a lot of people are depth-first decision-makers. Radar charts and such aren't deep enough to fit that skill set or set of perspectives.

If people with these skills don't have a way to bring their depth tools into the process, they may not be able to stay committed to the project or cause.

Depth tools don't have to be so terribly delaying though, and they also tend to be great for examining non-decision-making, which is a terrific solution to a lot of executive problems.

Close relationships are an easy example of this; it is often better to detach from the quick-executive-judgment position in a relationship, and in doing so one can get out of the partner's way--one of the keys to relationship success.

Business logic is easier to keep breezy, and known-third-party-method-based, but that's typically more true, the more one's personal values and skills can be detached from day-to-day processes...

The article opens with a short list of micro-stress examples:

>The WiFi cuts out just as you’re about to make an urgent online purchase, ...

No sooner than I got past that sentence, a paywall popped up. The irony.

I was eventually able to get around the paywall, but it raises a point: a wide variety of micro-stressors come from this environment wherein we're constantly being advertised to, asked to buy something, or being outright productized ourselves via our data.

It's inconvenient and exhausting and creates a universe of tiny tasks with which to constantly contend; from blocking spam calls and emails and online ads to still being exposed to time-stealing messages no matter what you do.

Sure, you can deploy an array of tools to bypass some of this, but even that's just more to manage.
Org Mode is great, but despite more than one serious attempt to get comfortable with it, I still bump into things about emacs and the emacs/elisp ecosystem that put me off. Yes, I've tried it since the 90s. Emacs was my primary editor for years. No, there's nothing objectively wrong with emacs. I just don't find it works well for me.
I'd say there's 4 kinds of games:

1. Sports. You practice, get good, compete.

2. Effort is rewarded. "Effort" is a very vague thing. It could be not dying/luck (roguelikes, Hearthstone), it could be clicking a button 1000 times. It could be problems (Factorio) or wiki games (DF, Stardew Valley). The reward is sometimes satisfaction (Factorio/chess), sometimes a movie-like denouement (FF), sometimes a thing of beauty (Civ, DF)

3. Socialization, e.g. Roblox, Minecraft, Among Us. Solve a problem together.

4. Actions lead to consequences, e.g. D&D, Reigns, AI Dungeon, The Sims.

The last one is the "purest" form of gaming, in that it's a medium that only games can do well. But it's also the hardest to do and difficult to make money off.

I'd hope that this kind of restrictions will lead to China making more Type 4 games. Hopefully games that can lead to a satisfactory conclusion within 2-3 hours like the average movie.

Facebook still provides a personal calendar feed, not a feed to events on some Page/Group. So you have to actually visit Facebook (watch ads) and add events to your facebook calendar, which can then appear in your calendar app.
Just basic adherence to web standards I think is really the problem people have with these interfaces.

Basic support for already existing web client functionality. For instance, I shouldn't have to sacrifice the ability to open a link in a new tab, or sacrifice the ability to link _period_ which is commonly the case (which interferes with bookmarking, etc). I shouldn't be logged out or yelled at by an app for hitting the back or refresh buttons on my web browser.

Most of these things are reinventing the wheel. Just for prettiness they'll break a basic browser functionality, then they try to re-implement in their framework and it just creates an abstraction layer on top of an abstraction layer, creating unnecessary bloat.

Many times this is even just so they can show you a blog post, which is just text and some images. I shouldn't need JavaScript to see that, especially if I don't know you or trust you. Even Google AdWords has had malware injected in its JavaScript, a blogger is not going to be worth my time to read if I have to trust his code isn't malicious just to see what he has to say about an obscure fruit.
Because the SFPD is even more fucked up than the NYPD? They spend all day going around harassing homeless people. I've watched them kick people inside their tents after they didn't move in a neighborhood they normally do hourly sweeps in.

And don't tell me how crime in SF is so terrible. It's at historic lows, and in comparison to a lot of cities, the amount of crime is essentially non-existent.

The police don't reduce crime, from what I can tell, in any city, using the tactics that they do. Crime seems to correlate more with poverty and ability to afford basic necessities more than anything.

I knew a guy who was Canadian, but had a summer job in the USA. Everyone got told they needed to register for the draft so he did and got drafted into the US military for the Vietnam war. Someone figured out he wasn’t American at some point, but they didn’t let him out, he just served a year at a base in the US instead of being deployed. And he didn’t even get citizenship out of it. He was not super bright.

This isn't a made up "emergency" being used as an excuse to get people to wear masks...

And the U.S. has a legal system unlike any other country, that has proven itself able to prevent long-standing and unjustified overreach. The Supreme Court is incredibly powerful and has the ability to strike down unconstitutional laws, and has done so many times.

People should be concerned about this issue and pay close attention. But there is very little reason to be very concerned at all. These mask mandates, or even requiring vaccine proof, is not a cover story for a take over of the U.S.

These are extremely rational and justified, and even mild, measures being taken to address a very real and easily verified threat.

The U.S. is not Australia. No one's first amendment rights are being curtailed. Anything anyone wants to say is perfectly accessible to the public. No one is being fined.

And the U.S. is not China or a a banana republic and there's absolutely no evidence that we're in any danger of becoming like either.

A lot of laws stay on the books but are not employed. Many of them should be struck down and many would be if they were ever brought to court. Judges need cases to strike them down.

The U.S. legal system is by no means perfect but there are very few examples of real abuse that go unchecked for long periods. U.S. history is full of overreach that is curtailed relatively quickly, although it can go on for years at a time.

The Patriot Act was not renewed. Very little over the overreach inspired by 9/11 is still in place. Even mass surveillance has been curtailed and restricted to a large degree (although not enough by my estimation).

What is the money for?
Does anyone expect this to be effective though?

From the article:

> Previously, China had limited the length of time under-18s could play video games to 1.5 hours on any day and three hours on holidays under 2019 rules.

Is this actually going to be enforced somehow? And if so, how is that enforcement going to be different than what happened over the last two years?
The oil painting looking like ms paint scribbling is kind of interesting. I wouldn't hang it up though.
> then what is it that makes the policy authoritarian or not?

Typically when a person says, 'that policy is authoritarian', they are making the claim that ~'that policy can only practical be made and enforced in an authoritarian political system, where political power is withheld from the masses'.

So in this case the implied claim is that the only reason the CCP can get away with limiting video game hours for those under 18 to 3 hours a week is because of their system of government is authoritarian, where the masses do not have practical say in the policy.

This also implies the commentor does not think the masses in China would choose this policy for themselves.

In the late 80s I was working at an academic institution, and personal computers were still mostly the domain of nerds. One person I remember didn't know any other program except Lotus 1-2-3. But she used to write entire letters and documents as spreadsheets, with all the text in one gigantic cell. The only thing I found impressive about that was that the program didn't crash when it hit 65,535 letters in a cell.
