The issues you describe apply to any grouping of people. Tribes have their own truths. Look at how popular those "we believe science is real" signs are.

You could remove religion and we'd still have the same issues. I don't think it's possible to solve them. The best solution is going to be a world where a long, happy life is guaranteed by forces outside man's control. This will likely alleviate a lot of the tribal issues we face as well.
This article mentions how being alone as a fund manager, deciding to either invest or divest when the crowd is going the other way, is a risk. Fund managers get fired when they are both wrong and alone. This suggests that many funds are invested in China to stay with the crowd. Are there funds (ETFs, mutual funds, index funds) that are not invested in Chinese companies or companies with significant dependence on Chinese customers?
> buying shit on Amazon at 2am, etc. You're at the pub more often, and drinking more

Okay, some simple guidance, you don't need anyone (or anything) but yourself to do this: don't stay up past midnight. If you do, the next day you must wear blue light blocking glasses for 4 hours and drink extremely strong chamomile tea. This will kill most mania/hypomania, something often triggered by sleep variance.

Do not drink. Whatever benefits come from it are not worth the mood disruption (if you do indeed suffer from a mood disorder).
I remember buying the original transport tycoon (pre deluxe), in a box from Beattie's, and reading the manual on the bus home. Funny how some memories stuck in your mind.

I’ve advocated DX across my leadership career. However, I believe current development methodologies are at odds with significant DX improvement. Engineers didn’t start out making micro service architecture. It emerged as a consequence of large organizations running agile teams (Conway’s Law). Agile teams are solving their problems, which are a subset of the org’s problems at best or ironically opposed to them at worst. Anyone who’s had to fight another team to get something done knows what I’m talking about. That means DX will always cater to the lowest common denominator among them, much like third party tools will try to solve for breadth of user needs over depth.

If we really want a better DX paradigm, we need to figure out another way of working that isn’t agile, either with a big A or a little a. I don’t know what that is yet, but doing anything less will just be the equivalent of making a better Jira.
You forgot about GNU Guile which is an Scheme implementation designed specifically for embedding into applications.
Great analysis. My only remark is that the focus is fully on the backend/infra.

On the frontend, observability and transparency are the main reasons why I still use Redux and its dev tool. It's like live logs on steroids. Not only do you see the chain of actions that led to a certain outcome, you see the state at each step. This makes the reasoning about the bugs much easier. There was a tool on Show HN a few days ago that does exactly this but on the browser level[0].

And DX in general? Well, this is how it's stacked in today's startups

Looks like a good tool to have. I've always had an issue with nginx and its configuration. I think it's because it's designed to look a lot more general and flexible than nginx really is. And it leads you to complete surprise when you stray outside the rather limited model nginx has for requests and things just start to not work. No error message, no explanation - if you're lucky you'll be able to dig enough to find a stackoverflow post explaining what you're doing will never work because of the order nginx is designed internally.

Apache at least never oversold its flexibility in this way.
And the newer HTML-over-WebSockets pattern takes this even further, IMO. In my (admittedly limited) experience, it's hard to beat the DX provided by Phoenix LiveView.
My largest gripe with Transport Fever is there is no way to dedicate roads to public transport only. At some point the whole world just bogs down because everyone rides a car from one weird city to the completely other side of the map. No matter how much public transport you add…

> My history may be off, but I believe that the Chinese named their country 中國 because they believed themselves the center of the world.

Your history is off; the term is very old and does not even originally refer to all of China. It's also the name of a small, non-central part of Japan.

> Interestingly, A LOT of mainlanders don’t know to line up in the 外國人 line when they go through Taiwan’s passport control, and they get upset when they are told to switch.

I think they have a point here; putting mainlanders in the 外國人 line would seem to be an explicit contravention of the One China Policy.

I was fortunate enough to be involved with a modern secular community that aimed to become a non-religious church: Sunday Assembly.

Take the best bits of religion, including purpose, structure, community, and tradition, but make it available for non-believers.

We even got so far as making the interview stage of Y Combinator:

https://benrmatthews.com/meeting-heroes-y-combinator-intervi...

During the interview, Sanderson (Sunday Assembly co-founder) had a brilliant back and forth with Sam Altman, but ultimately the idea didn’t stand.

I still think the ethos of Sunday Assembly has merit.

what is not being taken into account is the compounding effect of the generalised shortage and how over worked everyone is. burn out is already there and there are alternative employment options for the ones that don't want the vaccine. it doesn't have to be a huge number that resigns/gets fired to push things over the edge for those who are vaccinated and staying on the job.

>resistance to or denial of reality

It's not just this but it's also the lying and attempting to pass off various myths, mysticism, dogma, theology and fairy tales as being true with no evidence, and the promotion of "faith" and "belief" as justifications for doing so. And before someone says it, yes, there are other groups besides religious groups that fall into these same self-reinforcing traps. For example a significant number of people still believe in witches and ghosts: https://news.gallup.com/poll/2380/One-Third-Americans-Believ...

autotranslation> The chances that people with SARS could remain "asymptomatic", meaning that carriers could blend into the population without receiving treatment, are small, according to WHO officials (2003).

Can someone add [citation needed]. I remember something like that. SARS was not so difficult to contain because it has no long incubation period and no (too many?) asymptomatic infected persons. Anyway, I'd like to read a better source.

My guess is that against SARS you can mass vaccinate almost everyone, or keep the vaccinated persons under additional watch out, but not something in between.

In the case or covid-19, containment was sadly never a realistic option.

For a somewhat similar case, remember that the first vaccine against polio was injectable and didn't stop transmission, it only makes you don't develop the paralysis. The second one was an oral vaccine and stops the transmission, but has a low risk to mutate and cause paralysis in unvaccinated persons. So now the injectable version is used in countries without cases for many years, and the oral is used in countries with recent cases, and other countries use a mix.

What do you do with the kid after 12?
I think of the US economy as being saddled with a vast amount of 'private taxes'. The cost of everything entails paying rentiers without anything in return.

The building my company rented was sold. According to our broker the new landlords mortgage had terms that required he raise the rents to cover the mortgage payment. So new landlord told us that after our lease expired the rent was going from $2/sqft to $4/sqft. Where is the value added for us paying double what we were? There isn't any. And the US economy is full of purely extractive rents like that.

Real estate loans, something like 5-6 cents on the dollar actually goes to new construction or improvements.

Yes, town houses aka row houses are much better than traditional picket-fence houses. Also, though, cities in the east have far better public transit systems. Vancouver does well for the west coast, but it's system is dwarfed by those in New York or Chicago. And North Americans have firmly decided against public transit.

My understanding is that it's fantastically hard to evict a tenant in BC. I've heard stories of landlords taking a year to evict a tenant who wasn't even paying his rent anymore, and destroying the apartment in the process. Though I guess most people will leave when asked. And from what I remember, annual rent increases are capped at 4% or something? The first 3 years I lived in Seattle, my rent went up 50%.

Basically, though, rents aren't bad in Vancouver, and that's the most critical aspect of housing. People can afford to live there. The situation could be easily improved, especially regarding housing ownership...by encouraging more building.

Doubt among who? Religious congregations?
In 2007 I was 18, and had some scholarship money to invest, because I didn't think I'd need it for a year.

The bank manager wouldn't let me buy Apple, because there was a lot more paperwork to buy stock in the US (from Switzerland). Instead, he told me to buy shares in the bank for no commission! They have my money anyway, it should be a safe investment. I hedged against it by also buying a small bar of gold (over the counter, got to love Switzerland).

That year, the banking crisis hit. The shares went from 1000 CHF to 300 CHF. The gold went up: from 1000 CHF to 1070 CHF. But worst of all, I needed the money that year due to visa issues, and it was locked up in stocks and gold that I couldn't turn into cash until I could get back to Switzerland. The cash flow issues drove me to surviving from free pizza at careers talks, where I met Sma who introduced me to dumpster diving, hitchhiking, and CouchSurfing.

I learned then that money doesn't buy happiness. Food, transport, and shelter can be obtained for free within a community. And I'm forever indebted and trying to pay that support forward to others. Still not rich, but joyful.
No. No, you don't have to "force them."

It's my computer, you see. It's not yours. You're welcome to buy your own, of course. But this one is mine. That's why they call it a "Personal Computer."

The rest of us aren't going to let you turn the Internet into the modern equivalent of a closed IBM shop, at least not without opposition. There's a history here, one you might be too young to have experienced personally. It's been well-documented, though. Steven Levy's Hackers is a great place to start, highly recommended.
I am that hypothetical person, actually CSAM kicked me in the bottom and removed "tech fetishism" completely from my perspective.
Using my several NAS stations to find music takes seconds if I stream locally. If I want to listen on the go I find immense pleasure in selecting which playlist I will play.
Comparing this with dark patterns filled UX from any streaming service is funny. I control my UX, not some millennial PM trying hard to impress upper management for promotion.

I don't watch TV from 15 years. I have RSS for several sources to inform me, it is amazingly fast process, I have important shit to do in my day. I have a real library with real books, some of them very old (added value).

I produce technology, web-technology. But I see a future where a lot of people will pay good money to have user centered UX, not politically or "insert common good mantra" motivated experience.

There are no risk of dystopia, we are living in one. Palantir, NSO, countless other "surveillance businesses" are fighting over peoples data. The free petrol of the future overlords.

Why the endemic pessimism? There is no pessimism, there is real, factual information everyday. If someone wants to connect the political situation, the pandemic situation and the corporate movements, the data is obvious and accessible.

An automatic opt-out scanning system on a massive amount of phones, where all the data is in a standard place on a phone, isn't comparable to an unknown amount of people downloading unstructured data to their phones and keeping an unknown amount of it.
If you need childcare but can’t afford it…why are you having kids?
I've seen some videos on using Silverblue as a desktop. I like the idea of it, but it's kind of a pain to use at the moment.
But is a archive not better, when it can be seen?

Imagine humanity is no more, but up there in orbit, a satellite similar in Size to Hubble contains all the data humanity ever produced. It observes the neighborhood, on the look out for likely orbits in the habitable zone, deduces planets. And when it has found a candidate, it beams a laser at the estimated position at arrival time, sending a cultural dump over the ocean of space and time. A lighthouse and a graveyard candle at the same time.

And if hardened against the eventuality of failure properly, somewhere, sometimes in the far future, some alien might look up at the night-sky and see a flickering, traveling disc of light, seemingly flying fast with the speed of planetary rotation. That would be a monument with purpose. Giving others all the knowledge we had, as a gift, to do better.

Same drivel different business category, if you want workers you raise wages, whining about not being able to attract workers but not doing anything to attract workers is useless news.
Why is it not? It brings software support to Linux, which I assume isn't a bad thing?
It's been common convention for decades that if you distribute a source tarball of something, that everything inside is inside a directory named foobar-1.0 where 'foobar' is the project name and 1.0 is the version.

Not everyone does this, of course, but it's nice when they do. Because it means you can just wget the file into a dir and untar it without worrying about it messing up whatever is already there. Also handy for putting different versions of the project side-by-side.
Nice article. Excellent point about software heterogeneity. Ecosystems and platforms should support potentially a wide range of different tools, engines, languages, hardware... Heterogeneity is necessary for 'natural selection' to take place and to ensure that the ecosystem/platform can evolve over time.

Many or not however. Probably in part because a lot of small businesses are not good businesses.

Personally though and this may be an unpopular opinion but eating out even at cheaper restaurants is largely a luxury compared to eating at home. Certainly not in the same category as childcare when parent(s) are working.
I read that paper the opposite way. 32% being repurposed seems like a pretty high number.

I cannot reconcile these articles with the high investment in repurposing I see in pharmaceutical startups.

That was typical on DOS/Windows when distributing ZIP archives, for a long time.

But on *nix systems, the idiom for tarballs usually includes a directory containing all of the contents.

> (And when I create one, I always have to check/look up what happens, so it doesn't surprise me that a variety of things get done at all.)

True - I usually do a `tar tf foo.tar.xz |head` to get a quick peek at the archive. This generally avoids the problem of dumping a bunch of files into the current directory.
No instances of the string "browser" or "brows" on that page. 4 instance of "web", but 2 refer to webcams and the other 2 are part of the page's UI.

I wonder if the author realizes that the biggest threat to Linux on the desktop is the possibility that all of the mainstream browsers will drop support for it. By "mainstream" I mean that the browser can be used to interact with almost all the sites that Safari or Chrome can be used to interact with.

Even if the current crop of mainstream browsers on Linux (namely, Firefox, Chrome and Edge) do not actually announce an end of support of Linux, just neglecting it enough will be enough to get me to leave Linux, and I believe many others currently using Linux feel the same way. It's not like a person can do without daily access to a mainstream browser (and I am saying that as someone who does not even like the web).

I've been using Chrome directly under Wayland (i.e., starting it with the flags -enable-features=UseOzonePlatform -ozone-platform=wayland, because Xorg is definitely going away) and the rate of bugs is definitely higher than the Chrome team would tolerate on Windows or Mac. (I've used Chrome for a cumulative 300 hours or more over the last 2 years on Windows and Mac.)

So far I haven't seen any signs that security bugs in the Linux version get any less attention than the Windows or Mac versions get; that is a good sign.

Thank you for the tip on Pixelmator, I took a look and like it so far. Buying good software is not “caving in”.
Well there are some cheats that are purely cosmetic but can give a edge in certain gaming scenarios and are very hard to detect serverside. AntiCheats are basically security by obscurity, I don't think anyone should trust them, But I think running them in a VM isn't that bad of a deal?
