You are asserting that moral weakness leads to a lack of children, with no exanation. I said that I don't see how that follows, and plenty of morally weak people have children. I don't see how I'm attacking a strawman by giving a counter example, you've given no reasoning for your statement
Though apple don't encourage DIY battery replacement it's not that hard. On my old 2013 air it's really easy apart from sourcing a decent battery, and on the new M1 air it seems quite doable if you don't mind glue. https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/675334/Is+it+possible+to...
Hmm, I wonder whether a better alternative might be to be able to set a minimum memory size to use. It is a bit annoying to start a go program when you exactly know you are going to need 1G of memory and after the first 1M allocated it tries to GC before growing the heap. If you could set a minimum memory size, then you could get away with a very low value for GOGC to limit the space overhead beyond your set memory size.
haha classic line "The three diminutive crab cakes for £32 have a rigid shell the development chefs at Findus would envy and taste only lightly of crab, as if embarrassed about the star ingredient. They come with a sauce reminiscent of school-dinner salad cream circa 1975."

None of them (or none of the big ones at least) are any good. Truth be told, I think a lot of the people up in arms over Facebook and are quiet about Reddit and Twitter use both Reddit and Twitter and don't want to stop using them, whereas they don't use Facebook. Its easier to stand on the soapbox when it has no affect on you personally.

That all being said, that still doesn't make Facebook good, or not evil. It's perhaps the worst offender of the lot
Sorry you got downvoted. Probably splash damage from my snark. Honestly, not that it really matters, but I didn't follow the (counter)point you were trying to make.

My "Freedom Markets™" is shorthand for winner-takes-all, might makes right, what the kids today call "late stage capitalism", etc. The exact opposite of open markets in an idealized society which tries to balance capitalism with democracy. Using tools like rule of law, fair and impartial courts, independent journalism, and other fictions.

I probably stole the sarcastic use of ™ from the likes of Ted Rall or Tom Tomorrow. Sadly, I just noticed some other commentators (trolls like me) starting to do the same. Which just kills the joke. So now I need to find a new schtick. Or maybe just stop.
I use a USB-Serial cable about once a week. I use an ethernet cable dozens of times a day.

Framework means in theory I could have a laptop (Well in theory) with say 4 ethernet / serial ports (switchable) and SDI, and that's far more useful to me than USB-C.

I'd add that its also in the design of things and deciding what to work on.

I've seen small design decisions lead to a lot more (or less) work for the whole team. I've also seen teams work for months on things that didn't need to be done.
Seems more like time pressure than incompetence to me.
Serial is less useful as you need a serial cable, so if you're going to carry a serial cable you might as well have one with USB on the end.

If you're going into an RJ45 serial connection (like I am at the moment), then an ideal laptop would have multiple RJ45s which could be used as either 10G or serial with a standard cat5 cable (not a specially wired one).
From memory the opening of a military technology to the general public forbid using it to this level of accuracy? Maybe it was only sub metre accuracy?

I wonder if there is an analogy here to classical music. Most lay people would probably not be able to appreciate the technique, difficult, and musicality of certain pieces, but trained ears would appreciate the fine details.

As a consequence, most people prefer “easily digestible” music such as pop music rather than highly refined classical music.
The minimum wage part is true (but the article never claims Denmark has) - I'm not 100% sold on your thesis - unions still definitely have real power, look at the nemlig.com scandal that's currently going on. It's probably definitely less than previously though.
This is why I use Telegram as a "good-enough" alternative to the tech monopolies. No, you don't get E2EE without opting in (and Secret Chats don't exist at all for groups) but it's one of those products that makes joy in the hearts of anyone, enthusiast or no, who uses it. Its clients are fully open-source and the man behind it, Pavel Durov, is truy a hero in my book for his consistent stance against big powers, from state actors to tech giants.

I also selfhost a Matrix homeserver and bridge all-the-things to it, possibly its finest feature but there's no way any of its client implementations is going to spark joy in the hearts of the mainstream.

It's important, much like in our politics, to find the fine line between the extremes so that we can leverage and exploit good-enough choices for more freedom for everyone. I use Linux but for most people it's enough to at least get them to consider some FOSS alternatives in their Windows or macOS environments. We can use these small victories to chip away at the mortar of surveillance.

I will never, ever, return to Facebook products. The global damage wrought by that company will go down in the history books, I'm sure. So let's pick those things that are "good enough" as our chisels for a better future for all.

EDIT: Telegram has a chat export feature if you're a WhatsApp user considering the switch [1].

I'm looking for how to build backend and frontend in same container and test frontend code with API calls. I thought it was possible but I can't find anywhere to use them. There are some posts using multiple github actions file for microservice in monorepo. FYI) I use React/Django

Yes, it is possible, a colleague of mine replaced the battery of a 2012 MB Pro. It is possible, but not easy and involved chemicals which should not be handled by anyone without basic lab experience. Things have become somewhat better but still the question is: why isn't it easy and why doesn't Apple offer battery exchange for a longer time?
If they really care about the environment, they should at least offer to fix your old MB at a reasonable price.
(At their typical battery replacement prices, there should be a healthy margin anyway).
I can't speak to the first distorted guitar sound, but classic overdrive/distortion is just pushing the voltage of vacuum tube amplifiers out of the region where they amplify linearly ("over driving" them) to where the soft clipping introduces 2nd and 3rd and... nth order harmonics (harmonic "distortion") into the signal.

And that's why it's called distortion and overdrive.
You're thinking of Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

That's the documentary that inspired me to try Michelin starred Sushi restaurants in Japan. I went to Jiro's son's restaurant, which is by all accounts better, but nobody will say so because they don't want to disrespect Jiro while he's still alive. It's a Japanese culture thing.

My father asked me why I spend so much money on raw fish and rice.

I tried to explain to him that the high-end sushi restaurant experience is really a magic show that also includes food.

Have you heard of the placebo effect? Shamans "treat" their patients with practised rituals that make people feel better. Sure, nothing has ever been cured through such methods, but it sure does feel nice!

I have a personal pet theory that this is a side-effect of our evolution: little kids that sat quietly mesmerised watching the elders perform their arts and crafts would pick up the skills and eventually master them themselves. Kids that didn't sit quietly didn't get to be as skilful and would in turn fail to be good parents and hence had fewer children.

Some people call it ASMR, which is a fun term to search for on Youtube if you can't sleep at 11pm.

Watch any magician, or master craftsman at work, and you get the same tingly feeling on your scalp. You sit still, quietly mesmerised as you follow the swift and sure movement of their hands.

THAT is what good sushi is about. You sit at the table with the sushi master in front of you and observe as he slices the fish with rhythm and precision. You're entranced as he picks up the rice, moulds it, applies the wasabi, places the fish, and coats the assembly with sauce. It's like watching a magician dealing cards!

People pay hundreds of dollars for a magic show in Vegas. In Japan, you get the same experience except you also get fed in the process...

This was very popular on Twitter for a while—tens of thousands of people subscribed to Wil Wheaton and Randi Harper's "anti-nazi/GG" blocklists using BlockTogether, and then it all blew up when people realized Wil was just adding anyone who annoyed him on social media (including using a different tool to block all of the followers of anyone who annoyed him and then propagating that), and that Randi went on a spree of blocking anyone who disagreed with transphobic author Jesse Singal. And these decisions were completely opaque—I know personally a few independent artists who ended up on those lists, who spent weeks in the dark about why their commission revenue had suddenly dried up.

I don't think the entire idea is completely unsalvageable, but I've come to believe that it's better to limit the "viral" nature of moderation decisions, at least without strong notification, appeal, and oversight—and that the more appeal and oversight you have, the more abusable by bad actors your moderation process is. it's a tough bind.

During the 1990s, GPS quality was degraded by the United States government in a program called "Selective Availability"; this was discontinued on May 1, 2000 by a law signed by President Bill Clinton.

GPS can get extreme precision as in mm when given a long tine and a fixed location, which is mostly useful for geologists. However, you can get close to that using extreme precision accelerometers and GPS, but it’s rarely worth the cost.
I don't know why but this idea really seems to rub some people up the wrong way. Yet we all know that on a big team only a handful of people will be doing the majority of the work.

With more and more services going e2e encrypted, the application servers no longer have any special role or logic. All data they store is no longer privacy or security critical, and they no longer need ACL's.

Also now, when a conversation is archived it remains archived even if someone in that group posts something. Before when someone in an archived conversation posted something the conversation would be unarchived.
>ML systems are just compressed aggregations of their input datasets

I like to think of them as forgiving sieves of patterns in data.

Overfitting a sieve will exclude a large number of almost positive cases, loose fitting will include a large number of mostly negative cases.

And there is always a danger of falling into a local minima and not being able to come out of it.
The Agile Manifesto itself is actually a fantastic set of tenets. Unfortunately most people I've talked to who are trying to push 'agile' have neither read it, or have enough experience in software development or projects to understand why it's so insightful.

If you measure his impact in turns of extra CO2 emitted you might take a different view.
If you haven't worked with one, you might believe it's a myth. Some folks, in the right place at the right time, are just better. Probably way more than 10x better, but dragged down by the same meetings overhead, at more than 10x the cost for no benefit, as everyone else. No I'm not one of them.
The older I get and the more I observe children from an adult lens the more I see how much personality is packed into even very young people. You can get different reactions out of the same person but you have to tailor your approach for each one, and I think it must be the same with parenting children.

Has your view on nature versus nurture shifted since having kids? I've heard some people start to shift very heavily towards viewing people's personalities as part of their nature from birth after raising children of their own.
If only there was a way to communicate with people without needing to be in their physical presence.

Yeah, most restaurant owners, regardless of the number of Michelin stars to their name, aren't rich at all. Nor are their top class chefs. You'd make more money working in IT and your hours are far less stressful.

If you want to make it big you need to treat it like a business, like Gordon Ramsay does. He owns 23 restaurants (maybe more) all over the world, his name is known by many, and the income from tv-shows would pay the bills by themselves; they also serve as advertisement for establishments with his name attached.

The few restaurant owners I know who make a good income here in Amsterdam tend to own more than 5 restaurants. Some have their own branding going on, some just take care of the business side of things. And even then I think it's a whole lot of work and stress for relatively little pay.

“We know that our employees, in order to really be happy and productive, need to collaborate,” said William Floyd, Google’s director of public policy and government affairs. “Because of that need to collaborate, we’ve been investing more and more in office space.

So the implication is that Google is having trouble with comms. As if they think people will meet in the office to plan and go home and code.

My guess is that big companies will run in a hybrid model while startups will be fully remote. But eventually all software development will be WFH only, that's for sure

Are you being sarcastic? The food industry is generally used as the textbook example for the market most resembling perfect competition which as defined straight from wikipedia: "Such markets are allocatively efficient, as output will always occur where marginal cost is equal to average revenue i.e. price (MC = AR). In perfect competition, any profit-maximizing producer faces a market price equal to its marginal cost (P = MC)".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition
Of course. Arena allocation comes to mind.

Abuse? Ad tech doesn’t give a shit. Ad tech is complicit. And it isn’t just dictatorships - it’s the powerful in general (eg how they censor pro-Palestinian content [1]).

What do you do in a situation like this? Simple. Let Facebook open source it’s policies and algorithms which regulate its platforms. Let us see what the watchers have deemed worthy of censorship and intervention. Let Facebook publish how much the Egyptian and Saudi governments spend on their platforms to undermine their citizens. They won’t though because Facebook, in this area (foreign power related) has carefully ensured that it remains aligned with US foreign policy positions.

There's a twisted version of this "myth" that I encoutered: The demand for software developers grows much faster than the supply, so there is a temptation to hire wildly incompetent people, hoping that they still be able to deliver good enough product. As a result we have "1x" engineers, which are competent but rare, and "0.1x" code monkeys trying to get by.

Or to put it in a different way: "In the land of blind, the one-eyed is a king".

Not sure where you are talking about, but I guess US?

In the UK there are plenty of places where you can get food which is much more "real" but not necessarily healthy. There are lots of independent takeaways and cafes selling fish and chips or cooked breakfast around that price. There are plenty of places around markets where you can buy fresh food for that price, which is actually healthy. If you have access to a kitchen you can buy stuff and cook 2 meals for half that price.

Plenty of Indian and Chinese/Asian neighborhoods offer meals at incredible value too.

The only time I would consider something like McDonald's is in the motorway services where almost everything is run by big chains, the other time I go is because the kids get excited about the new happy meal toy.

I'd disagree with the notion that people treat discussions on Reddit with more skepticism than Facebook. This is coming from someone who was a daily user for over a decade. Due to its low bar to entry and anonymous accounts it's probably astroturfed more than Facebook and such accounts are harder to distinguish.
