I use a really cheap Acer laptop with a basic windows precision touchpad.

On Linux with GNOME 40... it seems perfectly acceptable. I haven't used Macs too extensively in the past so maybe I'm not used to something wildly better. Synaptics touchpads are still absolutely terrible, but the touchpad on this laptop is quite serviceable for basic multi-touch gestures at least, in my opinion.

The problem is that microtargeted ads aren't necessarily more relevant to your interests — they're more tailored to you.

For example, an advertiser might be able to microtarget people with certain characteristics that correlate with voting for a particular political party, and bombard them with ads that discourage them from voting.

That's targeted, but not "relevant".

I've never understood why techie interviews aren't simply replaced with the sort of discussions programmer co-workers have amongst themselves daily.

I've taken to honing on a candidates CV that might say for example, experience with Vue and React and simply ask them to compare the two, what do you like about one over the other etc. Or have a look at the projects they've worked on and ask them how they solved problem X and why that particular approach rather than Y etc.

Being this casual I feel that you get a really good feel for how someone works, how they think, how they approach problems and most importantly how well you might get along with them day to day as you work together. They end up being much more relaxed and honest.

Also the C++ standard includes the standard library. The standard library can be considered part of the language. If you include the standard library for C# this adds up to several thousand pages. Lisp like Smalltalk have very little syntax, but this is mostly because constructs which are part of the syntax in bigger languages are constructed in Lisp and Smalltalk on the simple syntax; and you still have to know how to write loops or closures or the like; or if you want OO in Lisp you have to know CLOS, which has many pages.

>>Groundwater intrusion is a clear risk.

How? 5km down is way below the water table. Also 5km down the soil is already radioactive by itself, so it's not like you are storing your waste in some pristine environent and polluting it - it's already a very dangerous place. If the elements at 5km depth could get into our grandwater it would all be polluted already. They can't.

>>Oil companies already have (minor) problems with fracking fluids.

Again, no one is fracking 5km down. Not even close.

>>It’s not centuries of waste, it’s millions of years of waste.

Uhm....."kinda". The highly radiactive stuff has half life of few centuries at most, otherwise it wouldn't be highly radioactive. Yes certain elements produced in the waste exist for "millions" of years, but that's no different than saying that naturally occuring Uranium exists for "millions of years". Like, yeah, duh. Again, at 5km or deeper depths that's not an actual problem.

>>but nobody wants to store it on their property.

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but 5km down is hardly anyone's property. Like, it's really really really not. You could fill up the drill hole and turn the surface into a national park and no one would ever be able to tell there's anything stored down there, just like you can't tell you might have a natural uranium deposit 5km down below you. And yes, certain groups will protest it anyway - but I think it's important to call them for what they are - insane.
> our tools seem to seek to waste the largest amount of time for us

Yeah and it might seem fun initially, yet in the long term shit like Alexa and striving for artificial ‘human-like interaction’ just creates more alienation.

...and alienation and isolation, and an atomized society, only benefits capital. Our current mode of production aims to keep workers easily replaceable, with projects siloed and in rigid knowledge hierarchies that make workers dependent (and keeps the propertied class propertied), instead of enabling and fostering the individual and collective intellectual and emotional growth and skills of humanity.

Instead of AI to keep us ‘company’, we need systems that enable humans to have maximum transparency, agency and participation [1].

Platform cooperativism and ‘protocol cooperativism’ (through projects like http://valueflo.ws and holochain) are imo the most important shifts of our time.

I'm generally pro-union and I see nothing wrong with this deal. Our particular implementation of unions though is dreadful and disgusting. Full of politicians or wannabe politicians, they'll gladly defend the indefensible to raise their membership numbers. They are for all practical purposes political parties, not unions, and they regularly come out with nonsensical takes about everything.

It's good most of the workforce is unionized, but I have nothing but contempt for how they're run.
> I'm not seeing any 'blowout' prices on new construction in the short term

We are in a housing shortage [1] which is driving a home-construction boom [2] powering a construction-labor shortage [3].

Until that labor shortage is resolved, via higher pay (which, depending on the rate of new entrants, will either reduce margins or be permanently passed along to consumers) or via new recruits, raw-materials cost advantages aren't going to be passed along to consumers.

a world with fewer regulations makes way more difficult monopolies and privileges through more free competition. The problem is when someone pretends to be capitalist and regulates for friends (crony capitalism). What if they did not have the power to do it? Then it would be clearly better. Our world reached development in an environment with very little regulation. Now they are trying to regulate everything. Later we need welfare blabla and lots of stuff. Some people pay and others take it. Bc u have all kind of rules. Derregulating means let people do. If people can earn a life without this creators of scarcity I am prerty sure that we would need far fewer social helps and would have cheaper services. This uswd to be the trend. We are breaking it... Bad news.

> Languages get popular if they allow programmers to achieve what they want to achieve with minimum effort. It doesn't matter whether they are large or small

For any sufficiently large organisation or lasting use cases a language is almost not at all about writing it but about reading it. Any subsequent modifications after the initial creation will require reading and hopefully understanding what is happening. Even if the code is properly documented the code is always the final specification and if you can't read, you can't understand what your organisation is really doing.

In that sense, adding a feature that is possibly detrimental to reading the language means detrimental to the whole language and its users.

It is true that the CL standard is not much smaller than the C+11 standard but the number of pages on my (officially bought) standard copies are:

Common Lisp 1994 (2004 edition): 1153 pages

C 1999: 554 pages

C++ 1998: 776 pages

C++ 2011: 1356 pages

C++ 2014: 1375 pages

C++ 2017: 1618 pages

C++ 2017(2018): 1620 pages

In comparison, the reference manual for Ada 1983 had only 336 pages and the Algol 68 report had only 146 pages, these 2 being considered very large languages at their time.

It is true, however, that the Algol 68 report would have required a double length to include enough explanations to make it intelligible for everybody.

I have never used golang but from my reading of the type parameters proposal, it also includes an approximation of "Sum types".

You can define an interface with a closed set of types

type Number interface { float64, int64, ... }

Now, the value will be boxed, so you will not have no-allocation sum types but you can approximate boxed sum types with this I think.

> by being honest yourself youre setting yourself up to be exploited, misled or abused in the long run.

You might be surprised. Dishonest people miss out on a lot of opportunities, and they have no idea this is happening. When honorable people pick up cues (like your I'll be fair if you're fair) that a person is dishonest, they'll smile and nod and quietly put you on their "do not trust" list.

People on that list don't get offers that require trust, and those are the good offers.

Aside from that, being an honorable person is its own reward. Being honorable is what you do when nobody is looking.

Accepting a lowball offer, yet in your mind already deciding to renege on it, is dishonorable.

> As an aside, humans are animals, just smarter ones

Everyone gets to choose whether they are a man or an animal.

P.S. I have my failings. But I'm not going to pretend they are virtues.

P.P.S. You're not setting yourself up to be abused by being honorable. There's nothing dishonorable about not trusting people who haven't earned trust, or who have shown they aren't worthy of trust. For example, I wouldn't hire someone who told me their honor is contingent upon other people.
Shouldn't, ideally, a mistake you learn from not require a new persona? Seems like the old system created part of the problem: Removing people that make mistakes, until the community consists of only participants that have always been perfect!
I find it astonishing how I often I've been asked about binary trees and binary search trees in web developer interviews. In all my time, I've come across some circumstances where some concepts like state machines were helpful, but have yet to run into a time where I needed to understand or write a binary tree. At first I felt ashamed, but over time the feeling flipped and I felt bad for the interviewer asking such a non-applicable question as for them to look rather foolish. It's like asking a biologist to describe the Dirac equation.

Fortunately I've yet to run into this once I spent enough time as a mid-level developer and became senior. If it's any ray of hope for younger developers out there, you will get to a point where you basically bypass all that crap and interviews can be more like a friendly chat between peers.

> I borrow a million dollars, and give it to you for a house. You deposit it, and your bank loans 97% of it to someone else. They deposit that, and loan 97% of that out again... ad infinitum.

This is how it's taught in school. The more-accurate version is that "whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money" [1].

Interest rates make borrowing cheaper. That spurs demand for loans which lets banks create deposits. To have the capacity to make those loans, the banks need sufficient reserve margin to meet the reserve requirement. This is usually a non-issue. They also need enough risk-adjusted capital. This is usually the issue. But if a bank needs more of this, and interest rates are low, it can buy the reserves through borrowing or equity issuance. Lower interest rates make both cheaper.
