Why does it have to be someone with real power?

I've seen several people on forums/twitter (yes, real people not bots) advocating or doing the math on what we could do with the "1% wealth" ... there's also this

Except it wasn't the memo that got him fired? According to Google, it was numerous instances over a number of years that led to him being fired...?
My take on this is that its sort of like the prisoner's dilemma in that if everybody said "We'll not spend anything on ads[1], let the organic results speak for themselves" then you might get one result, but anyone who has been de-indexed from Google knows that having no results on the front page means a huge drop in traffic for you. And if your business depends on web conversions well that is a pretty measurable loss of revenue.

I bought my first 64bit AMD CPU somewhere around 2001-2002 (at that time this premium turned out more or less useless). And as I mentioned, you may switch HDD to SSD to get very acceptable performance from even quite old computers.
This feels very short sighted, oddly. Your visual terminal interface is visual, sure. But there is nothing that says that has to be how you interface with a terminal. It is just a character/symbol stream connection. With interrogation commands that can go back and forth, there is nothing that says it can't be as accessible as you want it to be.
I don't think you should apologize. If only Fox News reported it, and the story is true and important, doesn't that suggest that Fox News is occasionally a valuable news source?
that makes sense, same with turbines they are insanely scary huge. i follow reddit/r/megalophobia a giant 10 foot wing span drone would scare me!!!
Aside from all of the things that generally come up in this discussion (politicians, country size, melting pot, american dream, government bloat, etc), I think a pretty big contender is poorly written legislation on regulations.

Certain things are fairly obviously good to regulate in healthcare, whether that is for privacy, or price transparency, or making sure emergencies don't get turned away, but administration costs of running our healthcare network seems to have blown far and away the cost of the actual healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, surgeons, etc). There is so much paperwork and administrative work in healthcare and it just seems like so much of it could be trimmed away.

Legislation seems to be written with the good intentions of protecting patients, but if the administration costs (monetarily or bureaucratically) of complying aren't taken into consideration, that too can indirectly affect patients.

I'm neither in the medical field nor do I know how US healthcare regulations compare to other countries, but it just feels like the amount of healthcare administration has grown at a far greater rate than the actual healthcare providers.
that makes sense. like gears/metal grinding = friction i assume?
quickjs has pretty cool case conversion too. It special cases ASCII, then does the rest with a binary search through some kinda run-length encoded table. There's more code but the table itself is only about 2K for both case directions.

Nothing will stop JPMorgan from getting into the game who are trying to middleman / rent-seek from end users desiring a bridge from traditional finance to DeFi. However, as DeFi matures and new generations of users become accustomed to working directly with the technology, the role of the rent-seekers is systemically eliminated.

Long-term, it is in TradFi's best interested to oppose the emergence of DeFi. I predict they will use common and tired arguments to push for strong government regulations similar to those on TradFi, to encumber it and add to their own value-prop.

Also, some smart contracts can and will implode on occasion and that is fine. DeFi returns power (and responsibility) to the users, but as they are not used to having this level of responsibility there are bound to be losses here and there due to technical incompetence.
Yes, you need soft skills too. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't specialize in something. That doesn't have to be a tech stack either, in fact it's the last thing I would suggest.
heh. If you overflow the date past the past about year +/- 250000 you break the website and it has to be reloaded (in Firefox at least)
>not all of the Dutch like it, and I understand why: it's not really very fair to give foreigners a tax break and not your own people.

Some people in my country fail to realize that in this case the Dutch state did not invest in the education of these people. I suspect the math works out.
This is classic abusive behavior. Sorry, I don't know your mother and I don't like to cast aspersions, but when you identify abuse, you should withdraw yourself from it if you are able.

Move away (to a city, at least a few hrs away, further is even better) and build a new life somewhere else. Meet people, get involved in things, sleep only when you must.

"So sorry family, life drew me to XXX and I miss you terribly too!" -- this is the narration to describe so many happy and healthy people's familial relationships.

Family that cares about you will respond with "we're really happy for you, but we miss seeing you", family that does not care will respond with "how could you leave?".

You can decide for yourself how to deal with people who do not care about you, but you can do it from far enough away that it doesn't have to occupy so much of your mental energy.
This is exactly right.

I actually think the worst thing about the suggestion you're replying to is that it is an over-generalisation. "Most players will do X", "they nearly always do Y"... yeah, okay, but what about the 10% who don't? The 1% or the 0.1% who don't? What about the ones who do as you describe, except for 5% of the time when they don't, or when they get lucky? I've hit genuinely lucky shots in a game, accidental good plays, for the receiving player they probably thought I was cheating, and yet I wasn't. The potential for false-positives is horrible, and you end up outlawing legitimate behavior based on a poor understanding of play.
I mean you are reading into the title of the column.
I mean in World of Warcraft, Horde and Alliance could never chat freely with each other due to the language barrier so it wasn't full of trash talk.
I am not entirely sure what a rebasing fork is, but it sounds like there are only three practical choices, from Apple, Google, and Mozilla. I haven't used Netsurf and the rest but it looks very interesting. My main worry is that some limitation may cause certain websites to break in unknown ways - that could be a huge problem when doing things like logging into a bank account.
It's weird how before the pandemic pretty much everyone agreed that rich people run politics.

But now that rich people profit from lockdowns you're branded a lunatic to suggest that maybe they're influencing politics in favor of unnecessarily harsh measures.
Maybe they meant that the distro they use didn’t have it enabled in the kernel?
> Who is arguing for the government to do so?

No one, but its a common bad-faith take on arguments that the economic system should be reformed and that the existence of billionaires is a sign of the problems that should be fixed.
I always have to laugh a little bit when someone says NIST, NSA, etc. just "don't really know what they are talking about".

They aren't perfect (you know, being humans and all), and can sometimes be slow in disseminating information to the public, but you're out to lunch if you think they "don't really know" anything.
I didn't buy one because I am not sure how well the module system works with regards to converting USB-C to HDMI/DP/etc.

In all of my past experience, converting USB to graphics resulted in one problem or another. It's too much complexity for my taste. Am I wrong about how this laptop works though?
The original letter is in German and behind a paywall.

"markdown" is not to be found on the page, so it's not for SEO; the submitter (incorrectly) editorialized the title. It's also not restricted to ASCII, so your suggestion does not increase title accuracy.
You can look at the Pandemic assistance that the federal government put out as a great example of how they incentivize not being a productive member of society. $600 a week above normal unemployment benefits...more than half the people made more not working than working for several months. How much money was wasted giving people money to stay home where expenses should be less than if you were working (no childcare, no driving to work, more time to cook meals...not to mention not having to pay rent).

Governments in other countries are more involved in colleges...and they also restrict who gets in. We let pretty much everyone in that wants to go and will give them money to do so...that is a terrible way to run the system.
One of the most important things Einstein did was to not immediately update his model based on the new quantum mechanics and to attack it as strongly as he could.

An inherent conservatism avoids a lot of weird, faddish behavior.
Well, for that your company has to admit it it doesn't have specific problems. Because if you do have specific problems, it's probably more efficient to hire people that can handle those.
Getting rid of the old ones is quite difficult to do due to all the misinformation and public perception. A lot of that shaped by outdated information.

So instead of building new, safer power plants that will actually help us fight climate change, many places are still running old power plants as they can't afford to shut them down. There are still RMBK (Chernobyl-like) plants running today!

Mind you, Fukushima was not the only power plant that was subject to an earthquake and a tsunami. All others safely shutdown. Actually Fukushima shutdown too - and would have survived if not by the tsunami and some braindead decisions. Fukushima is like a Ford Model T that's thrown into a highway accident. It should have been replaced way before the accident.

Germany should be leading the effort here. Maybe they could take a page from France.
I don’t know, I had a phenom running for years as a server that was running a Linux vm for automated torrenting, a Linux vm running the ubiquiti NVR, and the host itself serving as a media server. But that’s about all it could do. ;)

I realize that sounds a bit like a Monty Python critique of the Romans, but there’s no way I would/could use the platform as a daily workstation professionally. It served its last days as a home servant droid well, but just. It’s longevity in a low-demand role was only possible by augmenting it with an array of SATA SSDs and a hypervisor. I finally put it down a while back (and still had one backup mobo NIB for it). All the above relatively lightweight functions it was performing can be done with better performance on a far smaller footprint for size/power consumption/noise today. Those attributes are part of an improving performance profile. People talk about a performance plateau, which I’ve pushed back on in other posts as really being a demand plateau for many of its advocates. Case in point, using the phenom platform as a daily workstation. If one can even think about pulling that off, it can only be because their expectations have dropped very low for performance or their needs haven’t changed since Phenom was in its prime. Yeah it runs the old workloads like it always did (and why would it not? Even better when augmented with more modern hw/sw), but no way under the sun would I be able to overlay my current demand profile on a phenom platform and have anything but swamped resources and interminable delays. I say this as someone who fully appreciates the awesome power we have in a 5v/2A RPi smaller than a deck of cards, and what can be done a larger platform drawing less than 60w today, let alone what can be done with 1000w. The phenom platform is highly inefficient in comparison to the tools now at your disposal.

I have a 16Mhz Apple 8 bit computer.

What struck me is how lean early tools and applications really are. Many are just usable at 1 Mhz.

At 16, things are generally luxurious. Doing graphics, or writing, even running programs in BASIC all make sense and perform.

100Mhz is crazy! Frankly, one could add to the software and take advantage of the fast electronic storage available today and get real things done.

I wonder just what people will wnd up doing on a BBC Micro, or Apple 8 bit machine fitted with one of these.

I want one! Fun project.
Skepticism is not automatically bad faith, and I really try to make that point clear when I say that most flat earthers are not arguing in bad faith, although their worldview seems to sustain a massive conflict with reality.

I would even say that the vast majority of people who argue that climate change is not real do not argue in bad faith, they really believe it. But in both of my examples there _are_ bad faith shills, and they poison the discourse.

Bad faith is when your external motives supersede your opinion on the topic. Good faith is engaging directly with the topic.

Another example:

If someone is arguing that abortion should be illegal because it is dangerous for the woman, and they believe this because a friend of theirs was injured in an abortion, or because they heard it on Fox news, they are making an argument in good faith. For whatever reason, they really believe in the risk to the health of the woman.

If someone is making the same argument, after understanding the statistics on abortion and childbirth, because they care about the life of the unborn child, they are making an argument in bad faith. Their feelings about the effects of abortion are motivating an argument about the safety of abortion.

I never said it was easy to distinguish - but clearly bad-faith skepticism exists. If you leave it be it will poison discourse. Engaging with and understanding the worldviews of people you are discussing with is expensive and it is painful if the person on the other side has no intention of engaging with your or even their own arguments.
From where I'm standing I don't see any diversity of perspectives. I see a group of people who all generally believe that:

* IP laws should me maximized to protect the "owners"

* consumer protection laws should be minimized to remove corporate responsibility

* taxes should be minimal

* worker protections should be almost non-existent

Basically libertarianism or "fuck you, got mine".
It says in the article they are spinning off a startup company based on the research. Also that this is funded by a public-private partnership that "reduces bottlenecks"
The government could tax the service at a higher rate, which is fiscally similar to negotiating lower rates except the feature that taxes also skim from the non-govt payor remittances.
I was disappointed how Bezos handled that 'interview'. I understand that Shatner wasn't well articulated in that moment and that it took some effort to follow his thoughts as he still seemed to be in awe ("I hope that I can maintain what I feel now…") but Bezos' reaction was really shallow and he did not seem to be genuinely interested.
Still feel like Venus is the more serious option

Mars is easier to "practice on", and get some toy colonies going, but once scale starts to matter, Venus is better.

At some point, you rather have too much energy and good self-sufficiency at geological scales, than too little energy and bad self-sufficiency.

Of course this stuff has been debated endlessly, but I do not recall reading the "Mars is the stepping stone, Venus is the real deal" needle thread.

If Musk was serious, I think he would admit this, rather than hype-beasting the stepping stone and the real deal.
Notebook interfaces are basically that, e.g. Jupyter or Mathematica.
Do you trust health insurance companies or hospital administrators to pass on the costs saved from reduced regulation to consumers? I absolutely do not.
I mean the streets are covered in human shit and there are homeless insane people shooting up waiting to sneak attack you if you drop your guard. If you take shelter in a Walgreens you will find thieves filling up trash bags with goods from the shelves while the security guards watch, helpless.

Meccano might work too? Not much cheaper than Lego but they have their pros and cons. The pieces are flexible for one.
"stiction". Well known in the Apple community in the ... late 80's/early 90's, IIRC? I want to say I remember some official Apple documentation saying to drop the machine from a few inches up in the air, but I may be misremembering.
No what the author is simply describing is that some mechanical process in the brain should not be taken as causative for some process at the level of behavior.

All behavioral processes manifest biochemically in the brain, regardless of the complexity of the cause. It would be magical if it didn't. If the local lead company pours lead into the drinking water every single affected person has extreme levels of lead in the brain. Yet, the correct conclusion is not to blame 'lead-brains' but the ultimate cause of the pollution.

The same thing is true for dopamine and Facebook. Even if the entire explanation was as simple as 'dopamine turns you into a facebook zombie', dopamine is not actual root cause at the level of behavior (that would be the incentive design of the social platform), dopamine is just a proximate agent.

people who buy into these simplistic explanations are actually the ones who engage in a body / mind fallacy. Anything that impacts behavior, regardless of how remote in nature, manifests in the brain, precisely because you are your brain, not despite of it.
Passive sonar doesn't use pings.
Who should save us then? Young activists with nothing to offer but righteous ignorance? Cynical politicians, who believe nothing but their focus groups? Our well appointed chattering class whose hatred towards billionaires is obviously rooted in envy?

I would say we are better off sticking with the billionaires. They have competence on their side at least.
Thanks for the reply and tips. Not the developer, but a user of Dear PyGui. Unfortunately, I cannot change the title of the post anymore. I didn't see a method to include screenshots.

The documentation includes short code with stand-alone executable code that shows specific functionality.
https://dearpygui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation/ren...

Quite a few apps on the showcase page include a link to the corresponding Github repository, so you can inspect the code there.
https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showc...

Building a Notepad clone seems quite possible. That would be a menubar on top with a few menu items and a text input widget for inputting the text. Creating Undo/Redo functionality is not supported by the framework, but that could be handled in the Python code. A text editing widget, akin to what you would use in an IDE, is on the roadmap for version 1.x (https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/projects/4).

Does that answer your questions?

Any other recommendations?
They should have sent a poet
In TempleOS you can mix text, images, hyperlinks, and 3d models in the terminal. This is true for the whole system: you could literally have a spinning 3d model of a tank as a comment in a source file. That's right, it took a literal schizophrenic to make an OS with a feature that should have been standard decades ago.

Nobody tries to make actually interesting new operating systems anymore. OS research today is just "let's implement unix with $security_feature", nobody is actually trying to make computers more powerful or fun to use, or design a system based off of a first-principles understanding of what a computer should be.

God I wish I was born in the lisp machine timeline
This is from June.
Outputting text to a terminal is synchronous. Try connecting your favorite program's STDOUT to a program that doesn't read its STDIN. The program will stop running after the output buffer fills, because "write" blocks. Obviously you can buffer internally, and have a "UI thread" for writing stdout... but literally nobody does this.

This is why people try to write the fastest terminal emulator -- a slow terminal emulator slows down apps. (And, it all makes sense. You have to apply backpressure when you are receiving data more quickly than you can process it. You can buffer to smooth over spikes, or you could drop data on the floor, but both of those would suck for output in a terminal!)
Wouldn't that be better than the gigatonnes of CO2 we keep emitting into the atmosphere?
> But if you are implying that brands should not invest in on-brand search campaigns, then this is a really bad advice.

I'll be more explicit - you should test the difference. I usually recommend companies do a blackout month where they turn off all programmatic ads and then do a like-for-like comparison.

To further emphasis my point before, I've seen ad ops agencies say "hey you've got an overall 15x ROAS" and then find out that 80% of their ad spend is on-brand (give them 25x or whatever) and the off-brand (which is 20% of the spend) is giving them 5x. So their ROAS is inappropriately distributed to try to reach an overall ROAS goal.
I wonder how much of that is supported by Russian govt, because Germany is one of the largest customer for their oil and gas.
I was driving on I-5 between Oregon and California, seems like every other semi was Amazon. It really seems like they are turning into a logistics company more than anything.
All of the above is politically moot as long as leaders and parties can get away with bandying around fantasy land policies of running major industrial economies exclusively on renewables.

Perhaps this story is a tiny glimmer of hope that one day it won't be possible to get away with that cop out. We've wasted a lot of decades just to get this far though.
This should be allowed, because this means smaller competitors have a shot at the customer base of a more established competitor. If we ban it, it's just shoring up established players.
You can leave butter out in an air tight container.

There's just way too much to take apart here. But, like Damore, the author shows a naive understanding of D&I initiatives. Like _all_ HR related things, the purpose of such is not what's written on the tin.

Even that aside, the author is trying to shake the tree. That never works. Again, naive. Unless of course, _I_ am the naive one! The document could be performative.

I will take the risk of being lambasted, but IMHO (with very little real info, I admit) this employee was rightly fired. Not due to his opinions either way, or his [probably largely correct] analysis. But from the corporate POV. This level of dissent among the ranks simply cannot be tolerated, right or wrong. I just mean that in a corporate governance kind of way. You simply cannot allow the rank and file to point out when the emperor has no clothes.
People create new languages (for the most part) when it helps them substantially improve their capability to solve the problems they care about (I.e. “delivering value”).

If you don’t feel the pain of those problems enough to understand why the improvements matter, then you can happily ignore the new language hype.

I can’t comment about the JS ecosystem, but every new language (~half dozen) I’ve learned has given me new perspectives on solving problems, and sometimes the language itself serves as a better tool I reach for frequently. This may be somewhat biased by the fact that the problems I’m most interested in are typically algorithmic/mathematical in nature, and YMMV for different classes of problems.
