There are two emotions at play here.

One of them is "I spent years to learn this and now these plebs can just learn it in 3 months then take my title?". I'm not saying this is _your_ emotion, but I certainly notice this in me.

Anyway, I think this kind of emotion is not productive. If programming really is so easy to learn then maybe we made a big mistake by taking a 4 year university program to learn it.

That said, I actually think programming is hard and whatever you learn in a 3 month bootcamp will in no way give you all the tools and experience you need.

The problem though is the average.

New programmers look out to what everyone else is doing in order to learn.

But because most programmers are beginners, it ends up just being a cycle of beginners teaching each other.

When people with experience do speak out, what they say sounds so completely different from what the rest are saying, so the beginners don't listen to their advice. They will think these people with contrarian perspectives are just weird.
I understand why this is happening, but some of it is going to be unfair for women today. Raising a child still has more toll on mothers. They lose job and growth opportunity which has a long lasting impact on their future. They are still under paid comparing to men.

We want to get rid of these traditional contracts, but we are not prepared to make all the necessary changes in the society.
This is exactly how direct digital synthesis works and the 'step size' is labelled 'frequency' (specifically, frequency in HZ = step size / size of table * update rate)
Yeah but such rules are still just unfounded opinions which have been codified and human judgement have been removed. What is an "excessively long" method, for example? If a method conforms to good design principles like separation of concerns and low coupling high cohesion, no particular length is too long. If a tool force you to split a cohesive method into multiple methods, then you have increased accidental complexity. So the tool will tell you you have improved some arbitrary "code quality" metric, but actually you have decreased maintainability.
> Have fewer chances of getting infected.

I think more precise language is warranted here. If you're vaccinated, you have a reduced risk of becoming infected if exposed. The protection of the vaccines against infection, however, appears to decrease fairly rapidly, hence the discussion around boosters.

But if a vaccinated person (especially one who has lower neutralizing antibodies) puts themselves in environments where they inevitably have more exposures (think crowded, poorly-ventilated indoor spaces like bars) and they are not as vigilant about mask wearing, they might have a relatively higher risk of getting a breakthrough infection than even an unvaccinated person whose behavior leaves them with fewer exposures.
What an incredible statement to assert, so confidently and so very wrong.

I am not a Christian, but you are incorrect - Christians are an oppressed minority in plenty places in the world. Persecuted, oppressed, killed. And it’s not a “one off” or an exception, in happens in many countries. A cursory Google will give you many examples.
That makes sense. and fits FlixBus history of growing through acquisitions. Not working for them anymore, but I still route for them. They treat employees well, as well as any large employer, treat their partners (those companies operating the buses) reasonably well and actually do add value through their way better booking system.

Fun fact, the actual operations come from one of their earlier acquisitions, MeinFernbus, and are still based in Berlin (last time I checked) and not the Headquarters in Munich.
What matters is global market. The other manufactures push every possible vehicle into the markets that require it by regulation and drop prices in order to sell there.

They are one of the leading producers in all of those markets as well. What you need to monitor is BEV not 'plugin'. And some of those other cars are tiny 4k$ cars that don't really compete with a Tesla anyway.

Tesla is literally selling 2x more BEV then the second best company VW Group (including all brands). And in terms of revenue from BEV and profit from BEV they are way beyond that.
I think I saw somewhere that you can actually tell the LFO is done in software because it actually slows down if you move the sliders a lot while the CPU tries to pay attention to too much at once.
Didn't have time yesterday. As I expected the conclusions aren't justified by the data shown in the nature's article.

I would classify this as a pun, not an explanation.

That said, I prefer a presentation using `times` and `join` rather than `ap` and `bind`:

map :: (a -> b) -> (f a -> f b)
times :: (f a, f b) -> f (a, b)
join :: f (f a) -> f a

Reason being, `ap` and `bind` are just `times` and `join` composed with `map`; it's easier (for me) to think about what `ap` and `bind` bring to the table separately from the behavior of `map`.

`times` lets you take a pair of sources and turn it into a source of pairs. This lets you build pipelines that flow together from multiple sources into a single result; with just `map` you can only assemble a unary pipeline with one source.

`join` lets you take a source of sources and meld the layered structures together into a single source. This lets you create pipelines whose contents dynamically extend the pipeline. Without `join`, you can only construct pipelines whose stages are fixed up-front.

(As a bonus, the presentation with `times` leads to the idea that an "applicative functor" is a monoidal functor. If you don't know what a monoid is, maybe it's a toss-up in terminology, but the term "monoid" is vastly more common than the term "applicative".)
This, and inexperienced managers really like to boast about "their" team size, so they will much prefer to hire more cheap and inexperienced developers than paying fair rates for one experienced developer. Especially because the latter one might command a higher salary than the managers themselves.
Justin Kan on Pitching to VC
Unfortunately, your confusion is endemic of the problem with government statistics using disposable income as an indicator of prosperity, and is even being quoted by others in this thread. Indeed, you likely googled "historical disposable income" to back up your statement - which is exactly the problem with using the incorrect term.

I wont make the comparison to 100 years ago (as you did) because that was a period of time including 2 world wars and the great depression., But adjusted for inflation, people generally have LESS discretionary income now than they did in the 60s. Again, this is hard to corroborate with official poverty statistics due to changes in the cost of living (and conversely, the provision of benefits such as food stamps), which are frequently petitioned to be amended.

Over 12% of americans have such low discretionary income they have to rely on food banks - a figure comparable to the 1970s.

10x more people in the UK are accessing emergency food from food banks than they did 10 years ago.

It is a terrible state of affairs, to be honest. Please dont use disposable income :)

Say clearly what’s in your head. You’re saying a brilliant and intelligent person like Manmohan Singh couldn’t have done this? Because he was the last Indian leader leading a coalition who saw us through 2008 International economic crisis and was an architect of 1991 Indian Industrialization push.

Covid was an event of unimaginable proportions which affected every Indian and I believe any Indian leader would have done same or even more than what Modi’s government did provided India was already a leader in vaccination logistics and vaccine production even before Modi came to power. For all the good said about current vaccination numbers, they are well below than what could have been achieved had Modi govt. acted in a more timely manner and played the international vaccine politics better. Over committing Vaccine production to the outside world, delaying the immunization drive because of unnecessary red-tape and toxic nationalism, delaying the deployment of well tested Moderna and Pfizer vaccines forever but approving locally designed vaccine Covaxin even before its phase three trials were over, overblowing the vaccination numbers on some designated dates to create “single day vaccination records” while creating shortage on other dates at the same are all blots on this vaccination drive.
3rd doses are coming, and seem to give a good and needed additional boost to immunity (this is true for many other vaccines as well). 2 doses won't be "fully vaccinated" after one more year.
> Google has similarly bad business practices

Can you give some examples? Google don't run an online marketplace and they don't have huge warehouses or a a distribution network so I can't see how their business practices can be "similarly bad". I'm sure they do have bad business practices but I doubt they're in the realm of the inhumane conditions Amazon workers have to endure.

But for most cases you can't summarize human behaviour into one or two variables.

And statistics is a useful tool separate those cases from the few cases where you actually can.

Yeah it's a shame, on the other chips you can get amazingly air-y textures by setting the LFO to noise and then putting the frequency all the way up. See this video for example: https://youtu.be/_xL3qr-9-ZE
Nah, FlixBus is actually pretty good.

I used them a lot when travelling in the US and EU, though I will say that they're a lot better at serving the EU.

I once had a really unfortunate situation between SF and LA where I waited for 5hrs for a bus that never showed up. Another driver took pity on us so we got there, but I'm not sure exactly what happened.
Intense farming better than eco agriculture to leave more space for wildlife
I think they were one of the main drivers behind let's encrypt and maybe some other stuff so all is not wasted.

My main criticism is that they "milk the cow dry" by extracting so much money from the browser (which is their single largest source of income) that it starves.
> pre-commit prettification hook

At my work we have this the "right" way in C# with a gerrit flow: run "dotnet-format --check" in the pre-push hook. So you can locally commit what you want, it must be checked before pushing, and it doesn't automatically change anything without asking you or letting you review it.

> due to the specifics of our work this formatting creates all kinds of bugs and means the local code you work on doesn't match the work on the repo or server, which is terrible but I have no power to change things because they've been taught to believe that this is the only way.

.. but this is the real problem.

Good on them. They're absolutely right to refuse to be drafted into serving as medical police, conducting undignified checks of the medical papers of their customers. Good for them, and shame on anyone who's going along with it.
It does happen but it's comparatively rare to actually be hindered from reading an article because of too much js while almost every PDF is a pain to read on a phone, and to a lesser extent on a monitor.

I guess to complete the set you can also add this one which is not very interesting, it’s just “apply the function”

Proponents of vaccines claim that we have to vaccinate most people and then we can 'go back to normal'. Is there any country with high vaccination rate that has gone back to normal? By normal I'd assume no mask mandates, outdoor or indoor, no vaccine passports of any kind. It seems that even the countries that are over 90% vaccinated are still struggling just as much as the other countries.

Interestingly, the DX7's log drum patch is having a massive comeback in the South African genre Amapiano. I would draw a parallel here to the 808 bass, in that I wouldn't be surprised to see the Log Drum become a lasting element in South African electronic music.
TDP is the max design power of the platform, not the average though.

The M1 maxes out at somewhere just under 30W - Anandtech measaured it at 28W after removing the platform power use. The M1Max will probably run somewhere from 40-50W under max CPU load, more if you load the GPU as well. The M1 is a great chip, but it’s not magic - it appears to be approximately 1.5-2x as efficient on a per core basis? Which is about what we’d expect from a process shrunk + decent optimisation work by a very able team. What absolutely isn’t is 10x more efficient.

(Yes, TDP has been gamed somewhat by both Intel & AMD, and might not be the absolute max power over very short timescales, but it’s still intended to be the measure by which you scale your cooling system for extended max cpu usage & on that level the M1 is not a 10 W chip.)

For most users, this doesn’t matter - Apple has specced the cooling system in their laptops to cope with typical usage so it can run the M1 at full rate for a few minutes, which is plenty to render a web page or do some other UI work. It’s even enough to run most developers compile jobs. But if we’re comparing processors, then comparing the TDP of an Intel or AMD CPU with Apple’s “typical” power usage is misleading, one might even say disengenuous.
Ah great, they can use the iOS emulator there.
I disagree with the assertion that family was ever non-transactional. Even the ways families begin, either through monogamous marriage or wedlock, require that one person select (or be arranged to accept) one partner with which to copulate. People engage in a transitional analysis anytime they ask themselves "is it worth it?". And that's more often then you seem to imply.

Aside from that, I agree that Huxley was right
Because that is not obvious and your post looked like uncharitable interpretation of uncertain things.

Are there others than Tom Scott claiming this?

Are there underhanded motivations propable on Tom Scott's side against BraveBrowser or the other way around?

My motivation?
Wanting a browser that is actually pro-user.

If BraveBrowser (wont ever use brave as adjective there) used their platform to do underhanded tactics against people that didn't attack first than this would be interesting and a reason to toss any thought about using it.
I don't see a trend there yet.

Then you must read closer.

Even one of your cherry picked examples is plain wrong.
The point of a framework was, historically, a project which implemented secure, shared, many eyes-on code. Proper code reuse.

Now, with 20k node packages pulled in as deps for a couple of 10 line libraries, or with 100s of phars as deps often for 10 line composer sourced libraries, you often have almost no eyes on for that code reuse.

Devs just indiscriminately pull stuff in, don't care if a package is unmaintained, or was written by someone for fun 5 years ago and abandoned.

This model isn't sane code reuse.

At least with code written by an on site dev, one can have code reviews, sign offs, etc.

None of this even touches on things like hostiles taking over packages, either.

I'll put this another way. Do you audit every single non-core package installed from random sites, at each update, and all its dependencies?

Or, do you even audit each package, all deps, to make sure the project is active, and seems to have a competent admin?

Because code reuse logic means lots of eyes, and abandoned stuff, low use stuff doesn't jive with that.
And to imagine we had lost most of the episodes, as the tape was reused :(

It saddens me greatly that we live in a time where text documents are the "antithesis of the web"
Or an indicative of USD as an asset being less attractive and less valuable, it's more likely to be a conflation of multiple causes: printing USD (flooding the supply), US's economy being less attractive than expected at this time so investments have moved or being deferred (sold USD) and even perhaps pricing in some kind of systemic risk that could be building up in USD-marked economies (mainly the USA).

I'm no economist so this is all speculation.
I don’t think that’s what article says. Article just keeps blathering that new neighborhoods are not “beautiful” or “nice” without describing any objective measures for what author really meant.

I do understand however what it is trying to say. My opinion is that housing development is vastly commoditized and builders wants tried and trusted designs at lowest prices and fastest speed. There is not much room for creativity and experimentation. I went to see houses build by Toll Brothers which are premium expensive builders and even their designs were regular with few bells and whistles only to show off. Lower end market basically just follows the template. This is extremely disappointing because house construction is something that lasts for so long.

They say because they still maintain a zero covid strategy for the foreseeable future: https://time.com/6104303/china-zero-covid/

As far as I have read China heavily locks down regions if covid flares emerge, tests everyone in the region within a few days, then opens everything up less than a week later. This doesn't fit to the way more laissez-faire approach in the West.

Only one country has reached 90%. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

"I don't like mustard on my hot dog" is an opinion.

Donating money to the Prop 8 committees was helping an effort to strip group of people of their human rights.

"The covid vaccine makes people catch covid" is misinformation.

Finding someone's behavior and statements unethical and harmful - and thus not wanting to buy/use a product they control - is not "needing to find someone that shares all of my opinions or they're completely worthless."

You'd find discourse on the internet a lot more palatable if you weren't strawmanning the hell out of everyone you don't agree with (cough).

The irony of complaining about "cancel culture" in the context of a discussion about someone who hates gay people so much he donated money to try and deny them human rights. Denying a group of people human rights means you view them as sub-human. What was that about canceling people because you think they're "completely worthless?"
I agree with your assessment in general, but why do think Arc GPUs will be "seriously disruptive"? If anything, they seem to be too late to the party.
Possibly that `problem-solving` is an external microservice that the microservices fan club depends on for all their answers.
> It makes sense that wealthy and powerful people would invest in popular companies.

It should also be noted that even in the US, the bastion of economic liberalism and extreme capitalism, only 15% of all families own stock[1].

Also, it was reported a couple off days ago that 89% of all stock are owned by only 10% of americans[2]. So, Bill Gates owning stock is not relevant or meaningful.

Lastly, Bill Gates at most invested 55 million on BioNTech[3]. We're talking about a guy whose fortune is evaluated at around 135 BILLION dollars. To put things in perspective, this is equivalent to a guy who has $1 million investing $350 on a company. Come on.

> Stretch goals: I'll throw in a desktop version as well (mac first).

Makes sense! Because it does force me to context-switch if I have to open a browser to consult my notes. Browsers are notoriously distracting as well.

The browser extension looks good and functions well, but for me it would be more useful as a front-end to an existing note taking app (in my case, Notion).

Another thing I noticed: keyboard events while typing in a note seem to still be sent to the underlying page, which may react weirdly to that.
So I assume that they didn't open source their leading RISC-V core because they were giving up on RISC-V, but instead because they have something better, more powerful in the pipeline.

Does that mean that we are going to see soon a data center class RISC-V chip with hundreds of RISC-V cores? That would really be something.
Its almost always what you know already.

Regarding React, you should give Svelte a try. As someone who did some projects in React, I regret not finding it (svelte) earlier, its a joy to work with it compared to React.

Back-end, just pick any popular framework from your language of you choice, things you'd want are mostly covered in most of them, without much differences.
