I've heard that argument before, yet for almost all apps I've used in real life the opposite is true.

Game UIs are (from what I understand) written almost exclusively ImGui-style, with every single widget being fed updated state data every single frame as part of the game loop.

Yet, for whatever reason, even crazy-complex UIs like SupCom's seem to have no issue rendering in realtime with an entire 3D game running in the background, while simply resizing the window I'm typing into right now (a single textedit on a static HTML page) creates visible lag and chews up full CPU on a 2015 Macbook.

That's not to say retained-mode GUIs can't be performant (embedded systems rely on retained-mode to have reasonable performance), but on a modern system it seems like the loss in performance caused by inefficiently synchronising state in retained-mode GUIs is several orders of magnitude higher than the losses caused by pushing a couple of hundred textures every frame in an ImGui context.
What sprang to my mind when I read the arbitrarily response is that you have equally little control over the genes you’re born with as you do the place, time, family, society, economy, technology, and culture you’re born in to.

You don't need 2M miles of hydrogen pipeline to use hydrogen as a grid backup. It's not clear you need much if any for that purpose: make and use the hydrogen at the storage site.
Most of that 2M miles of natural gas pipeline will be for distribution. To be clear: I'm not talking about replacing consumer natural gas with hydrogen.
MPA tried to get the source code for Nyaa.si removed from GitHub because the "Repository hosts and offers for download the Project, which, when downloaded, provides the downloader everything necessary to launch and host a “clone” infringing website identical to Nyaa.si (and, thus, engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows)".

It was a completely retarded play on MPA's part and they only managed to get the repo down for days until GitHub restored it even without hearing from the repo owners. So really they only brought about some minor nuisance alongside a bunch of headlines to advertise Nyaa.si for the rest of the world.

I agree in a way; there has been a lot of inflation due to printing money, but that inflation went straight to and stayed in the financial sector, supporting assets prices for the last decade. The recent inflationary trend in the real economy is due to "real" factors, including the covid-19 shock.
The way I've always prepared for that was to run things on fixed-cost hosting and if it crashes, it crashes. No way I could get a 10k€ AWS bill overnight if my project blew up on HN because they all run on one dedicated machine that costs me almost exactly 1 espresso per day.

If people end up liking something enough to need more capacity, I can scale the server manually to however much I'm willing to spend and immediately set up Patreon/Kofi/whatever. If people contribute enough to pay for a bigger server, I do that. If they don't, it's their problem that it's slow or keeps crashing. My IPs are always prioritised by the load balancer, so it makes little difference to me.
Both cases are meaningless debt. The interesting information is total amount owed by the government minus total amount owed to the government.

If I take a loan from the bank for $1000, but also have $1000 in a bank account in another bank, then my debt is 0. Social Security is a bit like the second bank account.

You asked what was the difference between my statement (that genetics is not more special than other causes of being more or less skilled at something) and the statement that "all is one, separateness is an illusion". I answered that the difference between these two statements is arbitrary, which I still believe to be the case. Apologies if something else happened to you.

My original comment had the purpose of questioning the validity of the "nature vs nurture" distinction. It just seems like an unhelpful distinction, but then again I'm not a biologist, just a lay person who likes their concepts tidy.

Genetics is obviously not the same as everything else in existence; I'm not sure that even makes sense as a statement. You seem to have somehow derived that I am arguing against the concept of distinctions at all. I'm not sure if language would be feasible without distinctions.

I don't disagree with any of what you just said, but I fail to see what point you are trying to make or what you are arguing against. Without the (linguistic) act of making distinctions, everything is indeed one and the same, but that's... kind of pointless?

EDIT: Sibling poster also seems to fail to make the distinction whether (a) we're comparing genetics to other causative factors, or (b) we are comparing my statement about genetics to your "all is one" interpretation of it.

In case it's still unclear, (a) and (b) are two completely separate things and I'm not sure how this conversation got to the point of conflating them. It just serves to reinforce my belief that the ambiguity of our language's syntactic structures makes it inordinately difficult to reason about many things in everyday language. Or maybe I'm just a bad communicator. "Me bad", "you bad" that's supremely easy to express lol

Dropping out of a fancy Computer Science program that you're already in would seem like an extraordinarily bad idea.

If someone's trying to talk you into quitting and giving up because no one wants you because you're black, well.. that doesn't sound like a good friend to me.

Don't get me wrong -- a few tech-billionaires dropped out of college, and apparently it worked out for some. So if you want to try that out, then that'd seem like a different issue. But dropping out because you're black sounds crazy.

All that said, if you want to feel out the waters, why not apply for an internship? Internships can be awesome! -- you can get experience and money while still being a student, plus it can be fun!
So I like Protonmail a lot, but what I do not like is the "closed" ecosystem it has (you need Proton Calendar, Proton Mail, ...) - It does not integrate with other protocols. I know some people that use

for that reason.
Nowadays I'm happy if it even bothers to register all keystrokes. Somehow this has become more difficult now that CPUs are many times faster and don't need to queue all keystrokes to ensure they are taken care of eventually.
That sounds logical as they kind of perform the same tasks with the difference being that systemd manages workloads on a single system and k8s manages workloads on a cluster.
Also, I meant to add:

> How is this any different from saying "all is one, separateness is an illusion"?

> It's not arbitrary. "Other causative factors" is boundless.

These are distinctly different lines on inquiry. One is an inquiry to in the illusory nature of separateness, the other is an inquire in to the boundless nature of causative factors.
If you make anything a product you better make sure it is worth the money you are asking for it.

Clearly, this is not the case with paid education in US, UK and some other developed countries.
The research isn't specifically about group differences, or differences between populations anyway. That issue inevitably gets all the attention, but it's just one dimension. The vast majority of genetic differences between any two individuals have nothing to do with whatever arbitrary groups society categorises them with, and most genetic differences that do correlate with anything like race are basically cosmetic.

Nevertheless genetic differences can make a huge difference to individuals. Many factors we uncontroversially categorise as disabilities have a genetic basis.

In UK schools children categorised as on the Autism spectrum, or dyslexic receive additional support and consideration with regard to exam rules. I don't want to sideline into an argument about to what extent these specifically have a genetic basis, but broadly if we are going to agree that such factors are taken into account, it's flat out incoherent to then ignore or deny research into the origins, characteristics and influence of these factors.
The piles of cash come at the expense of physical health. I can’t imagine being a labourer at 55.

I’m a registered nurse which is a weird hybrid of university-level knowledge (understanding pharm and patho) but also it is a physical trade (turning patients, providing personal cares, mental resilience). It has roots in being vocational with a push in the last 50 years to provide an academic background to turn it into a profession.

Floor nursing is the bread and butter of the profession, but it burns you quick. Older nurses, particularly in medical-surgical nursing, tend to take on less stressful 8 hour day shifts, end up as spinsters, or have a terrible home life that they’ve resigned into accepting.

I moved into a desk position in my mid 30s and can’t possibly imagine going back to the physicality of it all.

I find this with everything. You have to become an expert at everything if you want it done right. Maybe it's because the truly expert help is generally too expensive.

Examples:

- Taxes/Pensions - if you just rely on your accountant then they'll do the bare minimum and you'll miss out

- Energy company - we're rolling out smart gas/elec meters in the UK. There is an old type (smets1) and a new type (smets2). You don't want to be stuck with the old type but the company had no idea which type they were installing. (I ended up with the old type)

- Lawyers - We're constantly having to chase ours and highlight things to them to make progress

- Doctors - If I haven't done my research then they invariably try to fob me off (maybe this is a UK nationalised healthcare thing)

I could go on but the crux is that the average professional does the bare minimum to move you along. I'm not old enough to say if it's always been like this but it has been my observation over my decade of adulthood. If it's a new thing then maybe it is partly to blame for the anti-vax and lack of faith in experts.
> If it's an emergency situation they they're assholes for trying to profit off the emergency and should be reported.

But if its an emergency then giving the limited resource to people who already have too much of it is a waste.

How about we meet in the middle? Rather than go full free market or full government why not just let sellers declare the product an "emergency service" which allows the buyer to delay his payment. The invoice is sent to the government who then gets in contact with the seller. The seller presents his costs to provide the emergency service and then the government finally decides upon a fair price and gives the emergency seller a small commission for the trouble of providing an emergency service (this lowers the price the consumer has to pay in the end).

That way the price will still help as a discovery mechanism but have no gouging effect on the wallet of desperate people. Meanwhile people who do not need emergency service will not buy the product because they would be stuck with a large bill as the government would be less likely to negotiate in your favor.

Amusingly, it is literally what you are writing about. Certain variants of that gene confer exactly a) better recovery b) sports injury resistance c) fast twitch fiber synthesis.

Simply because we have not pinpointed something with laser precision, propagated the knowledge to every human with internet access and papered it up with indisputable evidence strong enough to pacify the eternally-online exception finders and fact checkers - does not mean such things do not exist.

The follow-up-request was to notify users that the advisory has been updated, not to ensure that customers received the Aug 25 email which linked to that advisory.

Either is was Atlassian's mailing list software which did not attempt to re-send the email to you after it noticed that the connection got dropped (should that have happened), or is was Microsoft which dropped the email after receiving it, but before storing it into the database and assigning it to your account.

You cannot know who is responsible for this delivery error unless you ask them directly.
From fastmail privacy policy:

> Each time you connect to our service, we log your IP address, your client identifier (browser or mail client information) and your username.

I'm sorry dude, but that decision from switching to fastmail was not very productive to counteract the specific case mentioned on the OP.

If anything, it's even worse since fastmail apparently always logs your IP.

Moreover:
> We process mail sent and received from your account to block spam and fraud. We receive information from third party services to assist us in identifying spam.

Looks like your emails aren't even encrypted. If any government body what's your email bodies, they'll have it. They even share it with 3rd parties for fraud detection.
With protonmail and similar services, they'll just log your IP if they're asked to do so, which you can obfuscate using a decent enough VPN.
None of those C or C++ compilers came from Bell Labs, or were on UNIX tapes from Bell Labs. I used Cfront on Apollo machines in the '80s. Effectively nobody was using Cfront by 1992.

Apple, particularly, was not strongly influenced by Bell Labs or UNIX. Apple A/UX–a UNIX for Macintosh, a niche product from that period–shipped without a C++ compiler. MPW in 1992 shipped without a C++ compiler.
Nomad all the way. It's much easier and lighter than Kubernetes, but it does 3/4 of what Kubernetes does. The ecosystem is much lighter but depending on your needs it could be entirely sufficient.

Economics or more broadly, finance has its own vocabulary to describe concepts, just like tech, law, medicine or any other discipline. There is always domain knowledge in any field that is required for reasonable understanding.

A country's central bank (The Fed) is not the same as the country (U.S.A.), or more specifically, the government of a country (PoTUS, Congress, ...Treasury).

The central bank is an entity, like a company is an entity, that is lending to the Government, which is often more than one specific entity. The Public.

It can be confusing in the same way that explaining how BGP is used to route TCP packets, across an IP network, with an AES representation of some data that can be used to store value.

That said, money !== resources.

The Fed does issue money which is exactly just 'money creation'. But... It issues bonds to show that other entities will hold the other side, or a 'loan' of the money just created.

> The article (and others) just show that American men are starting to put their efforts into places that do reward them; namely, the trades and entrepreneurship.

Good point. I did not intend to argue otherwise. To go into trade is not an irrational reaction on an individual level — quite the opposite in fact. What I did argue however, was that making it hard for people to get a higher education is not a good thing for a society. Not good in the short term, because educated societes will make more informed decisions, and at the same time not a sustainable strategy for any western society that wants to play any role in the next century.

Having an educated society should be in the national interest just like having public roads or drinkable water is.

> accurate reading of the issue. The issue is not that Americans work too hard, it's that this hard work is no longer actually amounting to anything.

That was the American dream. This is a nice model to keep big numbers of people playing the lottery and bear a ton of stress, because they have the hope that one day they might win and then everything will pay off.

But even of you are one of the few lucky ones that wins you still live in a society where 90% are struggling and crushed. There may be people that enjoy being on top while everybody else suffers, but I personally would prefer being middle class in a society where nobody is poor over being a billionaire in a society where everybody is crushed. Maybe this is empathy, but maybe it is also just egoistic: I like to walk through my city and not see suffering, I like to walk through my country without having to fear being robbed, shot or angrily screamed at. I simply prefer living in a healthy, happy society where people help each other over living in one where everybody has to kick down to stay on top.

Not that that any nation achieved that goal, but there are certainly observable differences in tone between the industrial nations.
You can't convince people of something they already know. It's the same reason arguing with religious people is futile. It's a mistake to assume people only deny things they believe are untrue.

One thing you will notice is how if you do say IQ is genetic, certain people will call you racist. This strikes me as very similar to looking up rude words in the dictionary.

There are things you know and you know others know, but you never mention. Most of the time that's because there's no reason to mention it. There's no point talking about uncomfortable things just because you can. What's worrying is when something actually important but still can't be talked about.

Pwning the app will only provide access to whatever permission it has and we are still sandboxed.

Looks like theirs is far more advanced than mine (mine would just generate a texture per string and cache it, the main problem it solved was being able to display non-ASCII filenames). I don't think there's much I could contribute to them at all.

>accessibility APIs expect you to export a tree of objects and push state updates

Is this an inherent limitation with the tech itself, or just an arbitrary API limitation?
The backlash by progressives is usually specifically centered around the group differences part. And I don't buy that's the one that gets all the attention - all the negative one maybe, but most accepted and talked about genetic research isn't about that at all.

About time!

Tourists are the biggest threat to Venice survival, especially, sorry for saying it out loud, Americans.

The city needs to rebalance its population: workers and citizens need more space to live, the city needs to be less crowded to function and be maintained.

Venice is a very fragile ecosystem, it's not a theme park.

I'm from Rome and think that Rome should do the same thing.

Not because we don't like tourists, but because the city is a living organism and priority should go to people living and working there.

Another big issue is businesses over-relying on tourism which almost brought many historical cities on their knees during the pandemic.

Restricting the access to a well known maximum number of tourists has the benefit of reshaping the economy of the city, making it more liveable for the residents.

In Rome, for example, the pandemic brought back roman citizens to live in the city centre that due to airbnb and the over abundance of short term rentals was off limits up to 18 months ago for the city dwellers.

Despite spending less money on average than tourists, after a year and half local businesses are appreciating the change: less problems, less noise, no linguistic barriers, regular customers are the majority now with all the benefits of establishing long term relationships.

I think we need to do that more, in general, everywhere.

Mass tourism is a plague.
This keeps getting butchered. Now it's "answer to the universe" which was previously "answer to life the universe and everything".

It's actually "the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything". The fact that there's an answer to a question but no indication of what the question is is literally the underpinning theme running through all the HG2G books.
