The number of criminals in SF is pretty much the same (and this data pretty much shows it). But number of tourists and opportunities (open bars, restaurants, drunken people, Bart riders, rental cars) is way down thus it feels like crimes are up.
I think that's an excellent description of the market dynamics at play. What I disagree with is the assumed lack of agency on the part of the buyers in the labor market. If the market determines it's not advantageous to pursue a STEM PhD then participants won't. The market is not broken, labor consumers simply need to offer a high enough price to incentivize more participants to acquire the STEM PhD's they desire.
AFAIK thats because we dont have any usable material for X-ray lenses, right ?
Since the beginning of computer time people have been working on structure editing, because academically it's very compelling, yet in practice text wins out over and over. That said, there's probably a lot of opportunity to have "structure under the hood", but that's kind of a moot point in general because that's what linters, compilers, etc., are.

But maybe his specific point about structural diffs is salient; that maybe there are huge wins in structural diffs that we haven't tapped into for some reason. Again, there are decades of research in structural diffing, so where's the impact?

A run on a bank can make it insolvent?

I thought that insolvency was when they don't have the assets to cover their liabilities.

My understanding of a bank run is it happens when a bank is solvent, but doesn't have enough in reserves - liquid, short term assets.

But if they simply don't have at least 100% of their liabilities in assets, then they are bust because they can never pay people back barring a miracle.
It's even probably the right choice for a popular service to have made.

Full E2E encryption is going to trigger nightmare "I lost all my photos" customer-service stories when people forget their passwords... which is acceptable when you deliberately signed up for a service where security was the selling point, but not great for someone who bought a mass-market phone.
I'd say that pretty well communicates the spirit of these hounds. Never even think of giving up.

> I’ll argue further suggesting Typescript has added to the too much syntax conundrum

Shit like:

Is part of why TypeScript's practically necessary in modern JS, if you don't want to go insane and/or let a bunch of stupid bugs sneak in.

With what?

How?

> what the natural numbers really are is "the abstract notion of the smallest structure you can do induction on".

And who granted you the authority to define what the natural numbers "really are"? The last time I checked, numbers were not actually part of physical reality, they were a kind of concept or idea. People are free to attach whatever labels they like to concepts and ideas. They can even overload terms to mean different things in different contexts. So just because I use the word "number" in some colloquial context to stand for a different idea than you do in some other context doesn't make it wrong.

> but it’s also unclear why many routine checks couldn’t just be done by a family doctor

Ordinary GPs aren't experts and the equipment for doing vision checks is expensive and consumes space.

IMO, medical care should be completely re-organized. Get rid of GPs as a profession (outside of cruise ships and the military) and GP practices entirely. Instead, have community clinics for everyday medical needs spread out over the country that have a team of skilled nurses for triage with a number of subject-expert doctors at the second level, and large/university clinics for everything the community clinics can't deal with (urgent/trauma care, oncology).

That would also shorten training times and effort for new doctors by a significant degree - e.g. in Germany, an ophtalmologist requires a full medical degree (over six years, not counting waiting times because medical study places are short in supply) followed by five years of specialized training. Realistically, training any expert doctor now takes at least twelve to fifteen years... and that's frankly absurd, and part of why medical costs are so sky-rocketing. Not many students make the ridiculously high entry requirements, many don't survive that time (and sometimes literally - suicide rates among medical students are way above average!), and those who have their MD are left with fifteen years worth of student debt which means they have to charge extraordinary hourly rates simply to be able to pay back the loans.

There are more reasons than that. Apple has tight control over its operating system, and even designs many chip components themselves (not all). Android phone manufacturers on the other hand integrate finished components from various manufacturers, together with their driver packages. If Qualcomm doesn't create a new set of drivers for a new android version, they don't have much of a choice.
The lack of nuance in a ban is a bad fit for reality.
It's also a reason to assume that they've corrected that by now, if you want possible silver lining.
Which has me wondering. The MagSafe brick is 140w and current USBC can only do 20vX5a (100w). New USBC version can do 240w apparently - but will the USBC on these laptops be able to pull 140w+ via the USBC?

edit: more digging says that the MagSafe will be using USBC PD 3.1 spec - which presumably means 240w potential or at least as much the brick. I only wonder because I have stupid issues like the Microsoft Surface Book2 that tries to pull more power than the provide power brick can handle!

edit 2:
okay, while the Block will be PD3.1, the Thunderbolt 4 ports (USBC) only follow PD2.1, so they will likely be limited to 100w.

Shorting Tether is a great play. Either everyone loses faith and nobody trusts them anymore or.... it stays at $1. You are not going to lose. You just have to pay funding fees for your short which on FTX is around 4% a year.

Do you think there is a great chance that Tether is a massive scam and will find its doom within the next 25 years?

My answer to that is yes.
yes.

> If I don't like that the scanning occurs, I can disable the uploading.

You can already do that today (I do).

> But it doesn't

Maybe, maybe not. Even if I were to trust Apple 100% it's again a matter of principle (no local scanning).

Imagine the uproar if Microsoft Defender (which comes in-box enabled-by-default on all Windows 10/11 PCs) were to suddenly start scanning photos (it already scans executables and Office documents), hashing them against some opaque "database" and attaching tokens to suspicious ones that would be analyzed when uploaded to OneDrive (again, enabled by default for your Documents\Photos on Windows 10/11 if you use a MS Account).

Then on top of that, imagine Windows was a walled garden a-la iOS and you couldn't uninstall / disable / replace Defender with a different tool (which you totally can today).

I think there would be massive outrage in the press with MS being dragged through the mud for months, and droves of users switching to alternatives (like Linux) overnight. Yet (except for a few privacy / freedom organizations and a little press bleep) Apple gets to shake it off scot-free; I don't understand the dissonance.

I really love what Samsung is doing with their note-line software wise. There're just so many integrations and little nooks integrated deeply within their Note-specific Android version that are all just actually useful in their own right.

I'm a huge fan of operating my phone with styluses in general, but I think Samsung is the only Android vendor (other than Apple with their pencil) that actually cares about the benefits of adding a stylus to a phone/tablet.

For instance, last week I discovered that you can annotate your calendar with the S-pen. Your annotations stick to your calendar like post-its would to a computer. At first I thought I was drawing on a _picture_ of the calendar application view, but I was writing inside of the app itself.

Samsung's Note os is full of these niche-but-useful-when-you-actually–need-or-want-them kind of features.

Taking macro photos of that little insect on a hard to reach life in the forest? You can point it right where you need it with your right hand while you snap pictures with your pen in the other. It's a neat little remote.

Use your phone for presentations? The pen is your clicker to go through your slides.

Like keeping a digital journal with handwriting? Samsung's (and Google's too) keyboard has great handwriting recognition built-in. Nobody except me seems to use it, but it's actually great!

Need to quickly quickly take a note to make sure you won't forget to do that one important thing? Take out your pen while phone is locked and you can write on your screen directly, this is saved instantly to your device.

Samsung has clearly put a lot of thought into this over the years. The integration is excellent and is available in places where you would never expect it.

TL;DR: I like my note, not only is the hardware great, the software is great too
"Switching languages is impossible" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You think you can't, so more stuff get added to the language, so it's less justified to switch, etc. And then you end up with people trying to use immutable structures in JS and having way worse performance (but there's records and tuples coming!). Many people that said that switching languages was impossible happily migrated to Typescript, because the migration was easy. You could do the same with something like ReScript, but instead of getting the codebase more and more strict like with TS, you would transform it more and more into ReScript. There's also often lots of opportunities for small greenfield projects/part of projects.

> And as far as I know, this will be in a future version of ECMAscript

This may be in a future version of ECMAscript. Stage 4 proposals are the one accepted, stage 3 are almost official. This one is stage 2.
Saying the system as a whole is stable does not mean there are no unstable parts. Goods get delivered at an acceptable cost with an acceptable loss rate - even with chameleon carriers and any other bad actors that exist. Suddenly changing how easy it is to break the rules, without changing anything else, could destabilize that equilibrium.

> I think stability depends on what time frame you look at.

What is the timeframe that you are thinking of where our goods delivery network broke down due to individual rule breaking (as opposed to, say, a global pandemic)?
> A number is an informal concept in mathematics.

No, it isn't. You're just wrong about that.

Now, it is true that there are different kinds of numbers in math, but each different kind of number is formally defined. All of those definitions are interrelated, and collectively they define what it means to be a number. There is nothing informal about it.
Well, I didn't mean it as some kind of grand cosmic spiritual picture or anything. Frankly, I am not sure what made you believe that.

In any case, what I meant was that while individual efforts matter, they're dwarfed by de facto policy, formal or not. And, implicitly, that I am more than a tiny bit annoyed by people who desperately try to offset anyone's efforts just because they can. Consume, consume, consume. As being able is a justification enough in itself.
Liquidity squeezes and credit crises are correlated: inability to repay happens at the same time as unwillingness to lend. In practice, you get a commercial paper default at the same time you get increased liquidity demands. All you need is one event; one fraud, one excess-risk taking that doesn't pay off. If Tether is investing reserves, it is only timing until they default. There is no exception, and everyone sophisticated in finance knows this. Banks play the same games with probability distributions on risk assets; this 'social science' still reliably fails and banks are accordingly bailed out. Tether has no such recourse.

It's worse than non-formal, it's circular, and hence vacuous. It has the same information content as "A foo is an object that you build to act like the concept of a foo."
Ah, ok. That's basically what I'm doing, except I'm using restic instead of rclone.

I've done borg for local backups for a while and figured I could just replace it with restic, then I discovered that restic doesn't do compression so I just pointed that at the borg repositories.

I'll probably use restic directly for things that don't benefit from compression and continue to use borg for things that do.

I'm open to better options though, layering two tools that basically do the same thing seems like a bit of a hack job.

"You are free to code native JS". this really does seem like a simple/obvious statement, but I've been in the position where I've taught JS to beginners and holy crap...the amount of people that think they need to know React to do something as simple as a counter is absolutely insane. I think that the space of intro to web dev has been polluted by people pushing frameworks/libraries onto people when really just simple dom manipulation would do the trick.

I think the issue the article was getting at is that the idea of the hammer is considered "obsolete"/useless by the experts in the field, leading those experts to push tool making factories onto beginners who really don't need it for their purpose (but don't know the wiser since they're new to woodworking after all).

I need a different prescription depending on how wide my pupils are. I have separate glasses for night driving. Discovered this after a consultation with a real ophthalmologist, not an optometrist. They can dilate your pupils with eyedrops to take what’s called a wet refraction.

IPv6 should have been designed to be backwards compatible and smoothly transition people over. Why not design it so you can just quietly migrate to ipv6 on the infrastructure side by introducing automatic translation of ipv4 packets into ipv6 and back by padding and removing zeros, and automatically reserving all the resulting ipv6 addresses to their ipv4 equivalent owners.

This situation is the result of poor design and roll-out decisions, not the fault of everyone else.
> You couldn't progressively integrate a traditional framework like Django for example.

I dunno here, is Rails a server application library because I can progressively integrate the different components of its total API, e.g. first use ActiveRecord, then adopt rails-api for the frontend, then adopt ActiveView and Turbolinks for the end-user frontend? Or is there different idea of framework at work here?

> Lifecycle methods like render, componentWillMount, etc are just callbacks that get fired when you render you a component. I don't think any library is immediately graduated to the class of "framework" the moment a callback is added.

But I don't write the code that says when they're called. Backbone is more of a library, for example, since it lets me do all that and it can be progressively integrated into an app too (I can just use models, I can just the views, etc). I mean thats part of why people ran to Ember and Angular when they appeared, they didn't feel like doing all that.

Also see Crank.js: you can emulate React's Component API in Crank, but the reverse is not true. If I'm not writing the code that "turns the gears" per se, then to me I'm using a framework. That framework might have a small API surface, it might have a large API surface. That's how I see it at least. A framework to me is defined by a certain threshold of abstraction.

This is an async task library because I can opt-in and out of, as well as control, or simply replace, the scheduler[0]

> The long tail of Android features that exist only on Samsung devices would probably surprise you.

We have different tastes in phones, which is okay. I wouldn't really normally respond to this, but I think this quote highlights _why_ our tastes differ.

"Having more features" is not a selling point to me, it's probably the opposite. I want a simple OS with a strong set of core features, with a small selection of apps relevant to me. Smartphones have been reasonably mature products for a lot of years at this point, I know what I want from them.

That's why Samsung is quite unappealing to me despite their best efforts - I have owned and used multiple Samsung devices in the past. They're trying to give you everything and the kitchen sink, wow you with a bunch of features. Don't bother me with that stuff, I just want something more basic - software wise, at least.
