He might just be the most loathsome human being we've ever elected President. Although McCain would have been worse had he ever made it.

In fact, Biden and McCain have always been my go-to examples of the worst that America has to offer and like cockroaches they always managed to hang on.
So the left turn signal is an arrow pointing to the right? And the right turn signal is an arrow pointing to the left?

How does that pass, well, anything at all without someone saying “that might not be the best idea”!
He might be referring to the impuesto de patrimonio, which you pay when your total net worth(including the value of your house) goes above a certain, regionally set figure.
I run into that all the time. I've got a solid grasp of biology and have a lot of knowledge about animals. It's pretty rare that I find an article that draws the conclusions I feel should be drawn from the information. I had to stop reading an article posted on this site the other day, as early in the article, they claimed that no one knows why plants produce latex. Obviously, that's not true so I went to see how hard the info would be to find and it's right there in the Wikipedia article on natural latex. I can forgive not knowing, but I can't forgive making a claim like that when the information is so accessible.

So what am I being told about economics or international relations that's just completely untrue? I don't even know enough to know what's an obvious lie, so how do I know what to read up on to verify the claims? How do I know that the source I'm using to verify the article isn't complete bunk itself? It's kind of terrifying.
Thanks for the kind words. The use case you mentioned is the primary motivator for the site. That's especially useful for shows you want to revisit or new ones where sequential viewing isn't necessary (like Top Gear etc.)
> Google on the server side can see that you are using incognito

No, that's the whole point, Google on the server-side (or any other server-side components) shouldn't be able to know you're in Incognito. Chrome already goes to great lengths to try to hide the fact you're in Incognito to servers, because many servers try to block content if they could detect you're in Incognito.

So the only other option would be to only let Google server-side services know you're Incognito, and that actually would be a gross violation of privacy.
> they cannot see their own turn signal lights while driving.

You are supposed to inspect your car at least from time to time. This includes walking over to see your turn signals work correctly.
I think you would benefit from the context to be gained by reading the comment I replied to.

I replied to "the culture where this kind of behavior is normalized and valued is relatively novel", with the Dixie Chicks as the "canonical example".

Surely, providing an older example that predates the Dixie Chicks, can be used to argue that the phenomenon is, indeed, older, no?
If you're saying that you generally can't trust positive reviews, maybe read some of the negative or mediocre ones. Try to see the "why" of the reviews. Then pick the book that claims to have information about the topic you are interested in and reviews that seem to come from a similar point of view that you have.

If you start reading the book and it isn't helpful, skip ahead and see if the next chapter/topic is. If not, move on to the next book. Libraries can be helpful for this since you can read a bit before checking it out.
Ah, yes. Form over function, the driving principle for many insane UX "improvements" over the past 20 years. Personality is great. It's not more important than clarity or other related concerns though.
I would love to embrace quirks in all areas of life EXCEPT the safety aspect of heavy machinery.
Yes, but "obfuscated" means "To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand". That's obfuscated, not deobfuscated.
> So you could double cash outlays for those programs and the "poverty rate" wouldn't change.

This is absurd. This is like saying that you can no longer consider yourself a gunshot victim if you've been treated and recovered.

How do you characterize the converse of your scenario? How would the "poverty rate" change if the cash outlays were eliminated? Do we get to blame the politicians that eliminated the outlays for putting people in poverty?
Humans are the only hope for life on this planet. On a long enough timescale the planet will cease to exist. Humans have (or have the ability to develop) the technology to establish life in other parts of the universe.

I laughed out loud as soon as I saw the gif of the turn signal. This is an unintentional Stroop test in a place where you need to have absolute clarity.
"Nothing of importance"

I would argue that the total amount of time spent driving is huge and that as humans, with limited lifespans, we could mostly use that time for better purpose. (Not necessarily for work. Even Netflix would be better.)

I personally live in a country where being carless is feasible, and given that I hate driving, I am indeed carless. But I feel sorry for anyone in my situation who really does not have much choice and must spend X hours weekly behind the wheel.
I may not really get your point: are you trying to prove or disprove the original article?

In my opinion it does hold up, since indeed we can hardly even be 2x more productive in a barebone project with different programming languages, let alone an order of magnitude.

And what you are getting at is as far as I remember was the escape hatch mentioned by Brooks himself, that is the only significant improvement in productivity will come from the ecosystem. And I think we are behind even at that, in that we unfortunately have many NIH projects doing the exact same thing across language ecosystems, with not much interoperability. Eg. the JVM, Python, JS ecosystem has barely any shareable elements. Hopefully something like Graal’s polyglot might change it in the future.
Yes, I guess it's like complaining about nuclear weapons. Best to embrace them.

If we can do it, we should do it. All technology is progress. All technology improves the human existence.
I've seen 8 billion-dollar-in-revenues corps from the inside, they all have the same problems, just different flavors, instances of the same class. I've started to think, maybe wrongly, that the mistake made is stopping ourselves at understanding code, and not businesses. I see a bridge to be gapped, that library is one of the stepping stones.
I don't think this behaviour is acceptable.

People should be encouraged to open source their code if it's useful for the community. They should not be worried that some big gun take it and promote it as its own.

I wonder how the community can best prevent this behaviour?
I wonder if there is a way to hedge the potential losses by picking an underlying asset that follows the rental market more closely? The best I can come up with is to own and rent a similar property to the one you would be renting via AirBNB. Unfortunately this seems unappealing to me, as in this scenario I still have many of the same trappings of owning a house (which is is the reason I wanted to live in AirBNBs in the first place!) The second solution I have thought about is to invest in a REIT that invests in residential real estate. I believe this can work but 7% would still feel too high for me. Also, one would have to pay tax on the income from either of these scenarios, which wouldn't be necessary if you owned your house outright.
Thanks mate! Interestingly,The Simpsons was the show that sort of inspired me to build this site. I saw an image on reddit showing all the Simpsons episode ratings and thought it would be a fun idea to build a website based on the concept.

I doubt anyone would’ve called it stupid when the arrows pointed in the direction the car would be driving. There’s zero common sense in reversing them.
Congratulations on your success with this! If shipping to my country weren't $20 I'd order one like a shot.

Would you mind telling me how you rate Jellop? I see them on a lot of successful Kickstarters, and would love to hear about the real experience of them.
I don't know about waiting so long on updating Ubuntu, or essential server software. As an Arch Linux user, I've come to loathe outdated packages that break, which is ironic because Arch is notorious for breaking on new updates. From personal experience, the latter happens less frequently than the former.
it doesn't conflict with the overall sense of what they said.

but it does conflict with this particular remark:

It is very possible they are being told by the owners to cut costs. I work in tech acquisitions, and there is a breed of private equity fund who believe 100% in the business model of "make sure everything can be done by a junior and then hire lots of commodity coders - and get rid of any seniors who can represent key person risk." The vast majority of software companies are in ownership/investment positions where the investors call these shots, whether you hear about it or not. Unfortunately, they are right, that is one model that can work. However, when I have assessed companies like that, (even wildly successful $1B+ ones) they seem like awful, awful places to work for anyone who actually cares about the craft. The ONLY good role in those companies is OWNER. Conversely, there are others who believe that small teams of experts can be a very cost effective way to make money.

You need to get out of Dodge and find one of the second. Believe me, they are out there and fighting for senior talent, I talk to them all the time about it.
How is that not magic?

I suppose user code can do the same thing, but still, it's kind of magic.

When people speak of magic in code, they mean something that looks innocent but has huge ramifications because some other part of the code (that you are not aware of) does special handling.

In this case, what looks like a simple variable declaration acts more like configuration, but it doesn't look like configuration.

It would be much less magical if instead the language required you to call something from main, for example:

fn main() {
std.setup_event_io();
....
}
How could anyone be confused? They’re on the side the car is turning - like every other turn signal you’ve seen in your entire life.
> we have spent 10 years catching up with 2011, after killing Flash.

Lol, Flash 3d was built on OpenGL and DirectX, which are still here and have progressed since then. What are we catching up with? Adobe chose to kill flash because of WebGL.
The amount of complexity that an intelligent being can cause is far greater than the momentary temperature of that being. You are stuck on local slices of a momentum based basis. Think in broader terms, the entropy of the human race, thermodynamically, is tiny, and yet we could potentially grow to change the entire galaxy, let alone the entire universe. Entropy based on course grating of momentum states is only one possibility and is severely handicapped, especially when one realizes the universe may be cyclic -- clearly if it is, the observables we are using that lead us to believe entropy is increasing are sort of like the Shephard tones [1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

Also, I should add, a photon of the lowest possible energy we can currently detect, still generates the same fidelity of interference and quantum effects that a high energy photon does. This is immensely applicable to low energy quantum computing. Which means that you can get a wavefunction at the final gate of one's quantum computer of enormous complexity, with almost no relation to energy magnitude. This relationship, between fidelity of the double-slit interference of low energy photons vs high energy ones was used to check for a screen-door effect to see if we might be in a discretized simulation that allocated compute based on energy magnitude. We found no such pixelation/screen-door effects. Quantum computation throws a huge wrench in classical thermodynamic entropy.
>you’re looking for a transaction

And what is wrong with that? I help you with your shit and you help me with mine.

It's not at the level of transactional quid pro quos. But at a basic level you can't have one giver and one taker. Eventually that breaks down into resentment.
That definition would mean that it's essentially the same as ego, and would make the grandparent's post warning against "feed[ing] your ego ahead of your soul" meaningless. What would be the difference between ego and "soul" in your understanding, allowing to prioritize one over the other?

I think in that scenario, the real issue is if one of the partners views educational attainment as more important, or worthy of respect, than maintaining the household. There are people who find taking on those responsibilities more fulfilling than work or education. If both people are putting in the same amount of work on different things, its a division of labor. Having equal respect for one another's contributions is the crucial facor.
Most people I know leave that up to their service people.
Yeah seems like what the internet has done to a lot of things; add an 'e' to the front of it.
I thought it was a joke your is-odd comment. But no it is at version 3.0.1 and has 2.1 million downloads a month[0]... And it has a dependency to is-number. With the performance of today's tree shaking systems I wonder why there is not a simple math lib.

The tools around Usenet are amazing and easily blow any legal offering out of the water. I don't currently use it, but when I did years ago, it was fairly easy to setup a completely automated system to download any shows/movies I'm interested in at the right quality level and make them available to me within minutes of release. I still miss it and with the increase of competing services I've gravitated more towards piracy than I have since my Usenet days.
no it wont do that by default, there would be quite some wild assumptions to be made to make it a default for everything. even if cache behavior would be signaled from upstream servers properly.
Sovereign Immunity would only apply to attempts to sue China in a Chinese court, other courts in other nations may well side with Facebook. Of course these other courts would have limited means to enforce their rulings.

It is highly unlikely that life - as on earth - does not exist anywhere in the universe. Where the great filter is is a great question, but I am 99.9999% sure that it is NOT basic life with some intelligence (e.g. animals).
- The elements CHNOPS are verywhere - including oldest asteroids
- enough habitable zone exoplanets
- enough evidence of primitive life forming where energy gradients exist

so humans really are not that important for the universe, just for ourselves. But this should be enough for us not eradicate ourselves for the mid term benefit of a few.
> It does what it says.

> Full self driving drives the car on its own. It still monitors driver awareness. But the car does most of the driving.

Full directly contradicts most
I've worked in places where, if it's a senior VIP's idea, nobody questions it. You just do it. Doesn't matter if it's good, clever, high-value, safe, ethical, legal, or even possible. You just do it and don't ask why, or so much as hint that it's a terrible idea. Everyone just whistles and pretends it's great. I would hope that this wouldn't be the case in a car company, where safety needs to be a huge part of the whole process, but I've never worked there.
Yep, and on another level of importance but still important within that level, untold hours of human idleness and boredom sitting behind the wheel. I think drudgery is not too strong a word.
We're supposed to brush twice a day, get regular exercise, eat well, not get drunk, not smoke, have an appropriate work/life balance, limit screen time, get enough sun exposure, not get too much sun exposure, vote, floss, do unto others as we would have them do unto us, and change the oil every five thousand miles, too. But how is all that working out?
Jalopnik articles are always so bloated, they would be better off as just a Twitter page.

> Flashing the red brake light is a North American thing

Nowadays, the brake light is rarely used. It's usually a different part of the taillight cluster which may be red or amber, and most manufacturers (especially European ones, ironically) sometimes choose to use a red one for NA markets. The complaint here isn't that the brake lights are being used, but that the turn signal is designed like this.
K&R. It was the best programming book I read. I have not read many other programming books to be honest. I couldn't finish most rather.

It's been years since I even touched C and at this point I am not going back, I know; but as an Android dev I wish I could find a non-lengthy book like K&R that would expose me to Kotlin like I was exposed to C, while helping unlearn a lot of Java.
Influencer is an outcome of doing an act of something. Act could be travelling, cooking, bodybuilding etc. To start doing something to become an influencer is an anti-thesis, it is destined to fail. I am remember colleague telling he ask his children what they wanted to be and they said influencer. Influencer as a career choices sounds like a pyramid scheme and paradox in some sorts, if everybody is influencer then no body is influencing.
I imagine that due to scarcity of wood in Ancient Egypt and the very limited availability of such "high-end" chairs, you didn't have to worry about the overwhelming majority of Ancient Egyptian children.
