You're thinking of Stalinist/Leninist authoritarian communism, which certainly doesn't encompass all of left-wing ideology, only a niche.

When Stalin came to power, one of the first things he did was too purge all the anarchists and other non-authoritarian socialists. Thus most leftists despise Stalin and what he did. Mao, too.

1965 Interview with 107 year old farmer
My house, my choice!
The world changes and evolves, and nothing lasts forever. I have recently been wrestling with wanting a replica Superformance GT40 and also having this nagging feeling that I would be going in the wrong direction due to what is happening in the world, climate wise.

All the super automotive companies will put out incredible electric products eventually, and we will come to marvel at those as well with time.
Wow, Factorio is an extremely complicated version of the beer game. It's especially obvious visually for my hacked-together systems when I get to the flying drone stage and the drones exhibit the movement patterns like those on the charts in your link. I hate that game.

Once again the comparison ignores the time associated with owning and maintaining a car. Next time you’re standing on line at the DMV, ask yourself “Self, would I rather be sitting in a comfy seat on a train looking out at the Pacific coastline?”
Ok thanks. Interesting approach. I guess it would be interesting to see how easy something is to troubleshoot, should something actually go wrong.
> Show me it isn't?

Often repeated on this forum: positive assertions require the support. In this case, something like, "here is how the current situation resembles this abstraction and thus we can conclude XYZ". You seem to feel the work is done just by making a passing comment that superficially resembles the situation. Some dots that would be worth connecting:

1. What is the a priori difference between measure and target?

2. How can we tell when we have passed between the two?

3. Can a measure be a target and still be useful?

4. What if a measure is sometimes a target to some people, but sometimes purely a measure to others? Or at different times, or different locales?

5. Is there any context to expand the problem dimensionality to beyond an artificial difference of Measure/Target?

There are plenty of other explanations that could be offered, and would fit the available facts. If alternative explanations could fit the same facts, it requires additional work to disprove other explanations before deciding on "the right answer" (which doesn't really exist). Or one could, ya know, acknowledge that any particular interpretation is just an opinion and not particularly insightful.

Looking for alternatives and seriously considering them is a critical step for reducing bias. I will leave it as an exercise for you to work through your own biases - anything I suggest at this point would be dismissed. However, if you find yourself seeing this as either this-way, or that-way, you are probably experiencing tunnel vision and not seeing the complexity and messiness of real life situations.

Regardless, a glib phrase that might apply in some ways, and doesn't apply in others, is not a particularly useful or insightful approach.

As someone who owns one, they’re much cheaper if you import it yourself — the importers charge a massive markup. I think I ended up at about 5k USD for a 25 year old one in the US. Might be different import fees for Canada.

The comments don't say the same thing as the code. In the comments, the author might tell us - albeit not clearly or in proper English, what they want to achieve, or why they're doing it this way.
We need democracy reforms that allow us to democratically make more decisions about our system than we currently do, instead of relinquishing a lot of these important issues to a handful of representatives. War? National vote. Mask mandates? National vote. Abortion? National vote. Sanction a sovereign nation? National vote.

I truly believe that large swathes of the American population have become disconnected from a sense of political responsibility due to our over reliance on representing democracy. This has only resulted in people losing faith in democracy.

Let the people vote.

That was my take.

My rule of thumb immediately became that it's pretty much useless outside of N95 masks...which luckily I already had a case of for use in my shop. Most people appear to wear the functional equivalent of a sock, oft times with their nose showing.

OpenAI's GPT-3 Weighs in on YC Demo Day
My first car was a 1968 Camaro SS. I've been to the 12 hours of Sebring a half dozen times. My dad has owned a lot of cars over the years with a lot of different motors.

I used to think I'd really miss the sound of an internal combustion engine[1].

Then we got a Chevy Volt which compared to a Tesla is nothing. That smooth, quiet, constant acceleration. It kicks the shit out an ICE.

It turns out, I don't miss the sound of an ICE at all[2].

[1] The horrible screech of Wankel engines excluded.

[2] I recently switched to an electric mower. I hate my neighbor's ICE mower so much now I may buy him an electric one too. :-)

Just imagine a nice and quiet street/neighborhood with EVs only, and then someone passes by every morning with a roar of a super car…
That really makes no difference, sure, if it was a bank and the court was enforcing it, they would happily give you your money.

A court would say you're legally entitled to claw it back from your employer because that is your money, legally, after performing your work duties per your employment contract and labor law.

> From my experience I rarely got what I want when I received a gift.

Within gift giving what the receiver wants is the smaller part. So already you are off track on what gift giving is. Look at ideas like reciprocal altruism. Kim Stanley Robinson also explores gifting culture as a system in the Mars series, see if you can find excerpts.

> This may be controversial but I think money is the best gift.

This is not controversial. It's done in most cultures (Including the West) in many circumstances. Like weddings, the gift is very much a transaction, you gave me food, alcohol and entertainment, I pay for it. Any extra thought is diluted by the many other gifts, so money is often fine or a proxy through a gift register.

But as a general rule it's wrong.

Literally making up small tasks to ask people to help with (Forcing them to give) is a well know 'winning friends and influencing people' trick. Borrowing money not so much.

As a base do what cultural tells you. Then if you want to be better than default, really think about it or read up for advice. It's good to have a few weird things about you. But if you get too many you will be just weird.

Pop!_OS makes some kind of sense because it is paired with System76's purpose-built hardware so they want to be able to tweak everything so that it works properly on that specific hardware. Still seems unnecessary but at least I can understand that.
No, mega corporations who own media corporations (Comcast, AT&T, Disney, ect) hire people like Jeff Zucker to run the network and ensure the focus is on race and gender issues and avoid wealth inequality and corporate pillaging articles.
> emergency funds were allocated to places with the highest covid count

Wouldn't this be how we would expect things to work? Places with more infections need more resources. It seems to me like the "strong reason to believe bias" is the exact same evidence as "this is how I would expect it to work in absence of bias".
They are different terms, but I don't think the difference has much to do with power or CO2 emissions.

An entry level Rolls-Royce has emissions of about 343g/km, and the Veneno supposedly 499g/km.

They both have V-12 engines of broadly similar size and power.

For comparison one of the most efficient hybrids (I looked up my car) with a gas engine emits about 115 g/km.
I have seen two extremes on this over the years... comment a lot, or do not comment at all. In the teams I work in, I would love to see a more moderate and practical view on the matter.

I get the whole document with your code, and practice that. But sometimes we end up with variable names that get very long and start leading not the most aesthetic code that gets formatted in a very vertical way.

Don't know the right answer, but suspect the two extreme views are not correct.
If they’re older than 25 years old, they can be driven on the highway in the USA because they’re exempt from EPA and crash safety standards. That said, I’ve driven one 10k miles mostly highway and I would not recommend it. The car tops out at 120kmh at the redline and is very light and top heavy, so it can almost be blown over in the window.

Since the president is not elected by direct vote, the decisions in some states carry much greater impact and influence than others. A tool like this would help make the result more reflective of the desired outcomes for the larger population.

And you are not interfering from afar - people need to move in order to vote. We can only guide these people, however, and help them find the places they can make the difference they want to make.
> if it was a bank and the court was enforcing it

Because then you would own the money after the court legally transfers the ownership. They don't belong to you beforehand, is what I'm saying.

> A court would say you're legally entitled to claw it back from your employer

Not from the other employee. You completely missed the points of my examples, especially the one about receiving stolen goods. Try reading them again.

If you just want to call it theft despite all the differences it has with actual theft, I obviously can't stop you, but I tried to explain precisely some rather important differences in how they're treated.

Reasonable speculation, but if you look into it you'll see that right now the most popular hypothesis is a lack of fit between job seeking and hiring. Warehouse jobs for example are taking a lot of workers away from other industries right now.

The most convincing piece of evidence for this IMO is that if you compare the states that ended relief funds and bonus unemployment early to try to combat this issue with those that let it keep going, there was no statistically significant difference between the two halves of the USA in terms of hiring shortages.
On the one hand:

Some people abusing drugs:

- to successfully get high

- more or less safely at home

On the other:

Some people abusing a drug

- that doesn't have the effect they're using it for

- when there's a better alternative

- which is freely available

- AND the knock-on effects are harming other people

- ODs using up hospital capacity

- continued spread of coronavirus

I don't see much comparison, nor any contradiction in being okay with the former and not okay with the latter.
Actually, as a Java dev, I quite like modern Java for data work. Streams + static typing make aggregating data a breeze.

I assume for more advanced work like the one OP mentions you'd still want to stick to Python because of the superior ecosystem, but I was pleasantly surprised by Java.

Can't believe I'm writing this, but I actually like modern Java.
> That is the most distant definition from "necessity" i can think of.

It is a sign of the rapid transformation of our world that the above statement is simultaneously true and completely missing the context here.

Why? Think about the context of OpenAI's founding. As I remember it, OpenAI wanted to offer an alternative locus of power compared to Google and Facebook around AI. They wanted to have the spotlight to talk about broader topics and share advancements more broadly.

To accomplish that mission, there are many hard compromises that have to be met.

To be clear, I'm not assessing how well OpenAI did. I don't know the right answers.

Rather, I'm pointing out the constraints in their space are substantial. I don't think anyone can dispute the upsides of having a large budget -- to hire in-demand experts and train expensive models. What are the best ways to acquire this funding? I think there are many thought experiments to conduct and cross-comparisons to make.
I believe the available evidence suggests that over the long term, a small amount of leverage increases returns. Obviously it increases volatility as well, but if your time horizon is long, you can cope with that.

You do not want to invest in ETFs that are themselves leveraged & rebalance daily however, that’s going to eat all your money if you hold them for any length of time - those products are designed to be held for short periods only.

Yachts, mega or not, are an insulting waste of resources. Here I am, paying near 2€ per litre of gas, subject to a Pigovian tax, which imposes real hardships on people who earn poor wages and rely on their car for commuting. Yet no such sacrifices are demanded of the super-rich, which consume as many resources as 100s of "plebs". Sorry, that doesn't sit well with me.
> I think one of the only second order effects of wokeism is the fact that many times it gets results.

Wokeism gets drama, not results:

- "defund the police" is destroying our communities, especially black communities

- trans athletes are destroying women's sport

- the BLM organization is corrupt to its core, with one founder buying 4 houses, and downstream organizations getting none of the funding.

One thing that immature people don't realize is that different is not better - better is better.
I upvoted you, but there are plenty of exceptions. For example:

* Common name of the algorithm you're using

* Reference to somewhere else in the code that's related

* "You may think this code only does X, but it really also does Y"

* "We used to also do XYZ here, but that was removed because of ABC"

and so on.
With consolidation, some of the less common component values are being discontinued. I would imagine the same may be happening with standard values in larger sizes and 0406 is kinda big these days.

Longer term this shutting out of companies not on the leading edge will result in other changes. Components fabricated integral to the PCB being one such change.
It depends on the person's personality. Some will tell you, and then you know, some will just say thank you and throw it out when you leave or put it outside, which I think is an OK compromise. Other's love flowers too. Usually the best way to find out is to ask them their opinion of them.
As an Australian, how concerned should we be about this authoritarian trend?

I've heard people saying that Australia is used as a test-bed for government policy. I've also heard the creep of China could be the cause of this trend.

I've seen how quickly a functioning country can dissolve (Syria, Ukraine, Hong Kong). Just how concerned should we be about this? And apart from voting, is there any kind of action that can be taken?

I am from Atlanta and went to uni in the Philadelphia area. I was... low-middle class, and we couldn't afford airfare each term for my travels home. (And I still spent Thanksgivings on campus. I know what Matt Damon's character felt like in 'The Martian'...)

I regularly took the Amtrak line to make the route—seventeen hours, including an hour-long stopover in middle of the night for the scheduled locomotion change.

It was one of the best regular experiences of my life and I met some cool and amazing fellow undergraduates from other east coast schools that I kept in touch with for years.

You won't get that driving on the I-95, it goes without saying.
> It is rather shocking if the founder is executed in such a brutal way so you need to make a story around that.

Not sure what's shocking about it. Probably tens of thousands of people were executed in the same way; it was a commonplace method of execution at the time. Are you shocked by lethal injection, for example?
1. Put a hard stop to overtime. If that meant I wouldn't be employed after I told the bosses, then I would find another job.

2. Alternating months of skilling up and chilling out. Not even a code kata or fun side project on the down time .

3. Exercise. Can't stress this enough. Living in a cubicle, fishbowl or private office 8 hours a day means you are sitting around too much. Granted with WFH from the pandemic has opened the possibilities, but get out and start walking, running, cycling, or swimming. It was great for my mental health.

4. When you are ready to fall in love with code again find a topic that really inspires you and run with it. Everyone's passion project will be a bit different but it can be easy to despise code if you have a meaningless corporate enterprise code base. Work on what you love and if your job doesn't fit then put your focus on finding a job that does.
Bitwarden offers a browser extension you can use, I use it daily. You create a master password which only you know and then you can auto fill and generate new password just like Apple Keychain.

I disagree.

If your purpose only comes from work I find that kind of depressing. Work is something most people are coerced/forced into to survive and avoid a life of desperation, life has a lot more things in it than work.

If someone's purpose is work it kind of makes me think they're not really creative, lack imagination and have had purpose given to them from external sources rather self decided and internal. They didn't really choose a purpose, they just adopted one they fell into. Kind of sad.
It seems to me that it is “theft” in the same vein as “theft of service,” but I could be mistaken.
