I think a lot of middle class people roll over their debt, too, no? Say buying a new car when the warranty expires on the old car. Or buying a new house every 10 years (US average).

But I don't feel like digging around SCF data, so this is just a hunch. Having said that, my hunch is that middle class households are much more indebted than wealthy households.

Replace Netflix with Microsoft then you either have:

GAMMA or MAGMA

Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon.

or

Both seem to work. But I'd go with GAMMA.
Here's their statement: https://ncases.com/blogs/news/farewell-m1-classic

My read is that there's a lot more competition now. The M1 just isn't as competitive with (for example) the NR200 being so similar, 1/2 the price, and produced by a major manufacturer/system integrator.

It's not the SFF case that I'm using now, but it's the one I used the longest and was certainly the most versatile. If I hadn't decided to build my first custom loop in the Meshlicious, I'd still be using my M1 today.
I’m a fan of ceilings. Love them.
No.

In specific cases, vaccines may not prevent you from contracting a disease.

In general, vaccines do work. Even if they didn't work in your specific case.

Now, to bring this back around to being on-topic to the thread it's in, whether or not vaccines "work" is actually irrelevant. Either they do work and therefore stop the spread, or they don't work and they therefore don't stop the spread. A vaccine can not work without doing its job.

You don't even have to stop taking it for that side effect to wear off. The amount of time it took for me to relieve sexual tension when I started on SSRIs was crazy. Many times I just gave up and tried again later. But it got better over the course of a few weeks and eventually got back to how I was before I started the SSRI.

This isn't a guarantee that they will affect everyone the same way, but you can't judge SSRIs by the period when you're starting them.
Rejecting someone three times from something is pretty brutal. How bad could this candidate have been? Is Codeacademy like the Rhodes Scholarship or something?

Netflix is currently 12-13% of all internet traffic down from around 15% or so.

Dialing in a little, they peaked out at something like 40% of all US internet traffic 4-5 years ago.
they talk about everything like this, it’s vague pr speak that sounds open, but it never is… remember when they were trying to tell developing countries that “free basics” was the internet?

> When you go against Amazon, you go against something that Americans like more than Netflix.

That just gives more reason to go against, there's quite a few Western comforts that could use a bit more opposition, Amazon being one of them.

You're making the case that it is virtuous to be aligned with popular sentiments on issues, which is a position that dissolves any ethical or political principles in the name of conformity.
For some reason Apple seems to pay no attention to anything other than casual games. They completely crippled the mac gaming scene which was doing OK when they killed 32bit and never implemented vulkan support. IMO they can't embrace VR without going back and helping the game developer scene in getting the tooling they need to make mac support easy.
Thus the medium is either 1=readable or 0=not readable and we can refer to the 1 -> 0 transition as "bit rot".

I like Google and Reddit, a lot. I think a lot of people do. My biggest beef with Google is just that their search engine seems to get worse with every new release, with more pages and pages of ads and a clusterf of rando content until I get to actual search results. But I still really like their service.

Similarly, I like Reddit a lot. There are a ton of shitty subreddits but so what, I just don't go there.

On the other hand, I hate Facebook. I wish I could find an easy way to stay connected to my existing friend network without the amount of vitriol I feel toward how my feed is organized.
For me, it was QBasic under MS-DOS.

SCREEN 13

I think this kind of experience is missing for kids now – but I'd guess it's more about how ubiquitous computers are, and how there's a lot more between the kid and the computer. When a CLI is your interface, making even rudimentary graphics feels like achieving magic. When your interface is a cell phone or GUI, there's a much larger leap from zero to "feels like magic" – OK, so I made a circle bounce around the screen... there's already an app that does that.

Thanks so much for your correction/insight here. My chemistry knowledge is pretty weak - and extra rusty - so that was very helpful.
It's definitely true that committees can produce terrible results, like the OSI stack. But the committees that I listed didn't just distill implementations into a standard, they also design new features for those projects and actively steer experimentation done by vendors (especially true for the C++ committee).
> But I do think one key reason we continue to see companies make these easily avoidable mistakes with their customer data is that there are hardly ever any real consequences for organizations that fail to take more care. Meanwhile, their customers’ data is free to be hoovered up by anyone or anything that cares to look for it.

This is the root cause of the problem. The incentives aren't there to prioritize security and price it into the products and services we enjoy. Can customers file lawsuits for security breaches or do current laws in the US not support that? If not, I would think updating those laws is the right next step.
OpenGL was inevitably going to be depreciated, you won't find me crying many tears over it's grave. Vulkan is an entirely different beast though, one that Apple should support. They have the resources to make it happen, any excuses they make are quite obviously perfunctory and dismissive. Maybe Apple doesn't need a cross platform graphics API, but I do. Their 'devil may care' attitude towards backwards compatibility doesn't make me confident in owning a Mac.
The iPhone 13 has a ~3 week shipping estimate right now. So it seems to be selling just fine. Maybe that's due to the chip shortage, but regardless, they are selling as many as they can make right now.
Driving right past the snark to point you at https://github.com/dvcrn/markright, whose author recently contacted me, and is going for something really similar to what I've tried to describe in my article.

Markright (& my own thing) are focused on iteration: you can think of the output as a Git repo, rather than just the end result.

I've also never seen a literate programming system that generates colored terminal output, screenshots, etc.

I'm not sure why you chose to write this comment that way instead of saying "Seems like a neat derivative/evolution of literate programming", which wouldn't imply anything negative about anyone, but here we are!
I have never had a doctor recommend lifestyle treatments to me. They don't make any money on those. I have osteoarthritis in my hip and multiple doctors recommended an immediate hip replacement. I did a ton of research and ended up on the anti-inflammatory index diet in combination with changing exercises from running and golf that put high impacts on my hip to cycling which does not. All of my pain was gone in three months and has stayed gone for the last two years.

I've not played Factorio but love your argument. Very thought provoking.

What happens if something in the middle breaks and you don't have a buffer? What happens if there is no iron shortage but the steel furnace blows up? Aren't buffers important in such situations?
Sounds like we need to take control of this evolutionary process and start engineering it. Just because we are no longer required to use these abilities on a daily basis doesn't mean we don't want them. Evolution can go to hell with its "pressures", humanity is supposed to get better over time, not worse.
Honestly - a layered approach ends up paying dividends even if used solely for code organization. Options like microservices and event frameworks work quite well when using layered approaches internally.

Basically, I've seen SQL in controllers and I don't ever want that again.
Wow started decent and then went full stupid. We can't go back to earlier capitalism anymore than we can go back to feudalism.

Regulate minimum buffers, or create a state-run rail and warehousing system like industrial Amazon. It's a natural monopoly and much more efficient than a gazillion trucks.
I think that's right locally - you can of course make your local software ignore the ownership of nfts. But if the crypto/ledger doesn't line up, then other better behaved clients can (and arguably have an incentive to) just ignore what your client says. That could mean (in a gaming context) that the rest of the network just ignores your progress in the game (ie, new loot acquisitions).

It's the same thing with Bitcoin node software - any node could broadcast a transaction that contains more BTC than the address actually has. But the crypto/ledger won't add up, so the network just wouldn't accept it.

In fact, flooding the networks with forgeries would devalue the network (and the operator's investment in the project).

Games built on a public ledger benefit from playing by the rules - doing otherwise would devalue their investment in building on the ledger.

That's very interesting feedback. We certainly don't have a way to force simulate failure.

A related capability we are working on is to also rerun the identified flaky tests X times so they pass. This depends on the capabilities of the test runner, so it will work with specific ones first (cypress, pytest, etc). That way you still make sure that flaky tests pass instead of supressing.

But there's a million acronyms that could be made by popping some good tech companies in and pushing out less nice-looking initials out. Why did FAANG catch on and not GAMMA, SLAAP, STINT, etc.?

"risk-free rates of return" - typically means "losing value via inflation"
Due to the history of the term (originating in financial markets) Microsoft was considered to be in decline/not appreciating in value as quickly as FAANG and was thus excluded. I would say these days it belongs there much more than say NFLX especially considering NFLX having nestled into a content creation/media company rather than a primarily tech play that was purchasing content.

> We are dealing with orders of magnitude more information than we did in ancient times, and we are required to remember a good chunk of it and to be able to recall and use it at a moments notice.

Surely you mean required, meaning you could end up embarassing yourself in front of your coworkers if you aren't able to recall that particular bit of information.

It's very different from REQUIRED, meaning that if you take a left turn instead of a right turn while running away from a predator you end up in a canyon... or the predator eats you because you have no way to escape...or both.
Personally, the only thing I ever watch on Netflix now is the new Israeli TV stuff -- Fauda, Mossad 101, etc. I think this is one consequence of them shifting to being a "channel" with their own content (which I mostly don't care for).

Almost all my streaming is with Amazon Prime, which has a much bigger selection of content suited to my tastes.

The standard approach is to let the maintainer make all decision in their own supported packages. This works in 99.99% of the time and if someone else wants to do the work of supporting a package then there are always alternatives. Being asked to do the work of supporting a whole package is generally a rather large commitment and Debian developers tend to be busy enough that fighting over being the maintainer of larger packages isn't that common, especially if the contention is over a small thing.

That is how things get done. If you do the work you get to decide.

In the 0.001% that an issue get taken up by the technical committee as being important for the whole project, then after usually a long time they make a decision that in special cases may overrule the maintainer. That happens about once or twice a year? I am unsure how often a decision actually goes against the maintainer, and there is only a few cases a year (https://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte).

This naturally doesn't stop anyone from being too active on the mailing lists and arguing over small things, but I would think people are wasting less time there than they do arguing lesser important topics on social media.

In large portions of the united states people who own homes have their property taxes go up most every year based on the value of their home. Seems a bit strange to me to treat, in this respect, peoples homes differently.
> You are joking, right? You can find some years where the US trade deficit isn't the absolute highest as a percentage of GDP, particularly if you start throwing in small island economies like New Zealand into the mix, but you will not find any other nation whose balance of current accounts is anywhere as close to the size of the U.S.'s in terms of GDP share.

The USA isn't even that high...middle of the pack. Yes, the USA has the highest GDP of any other nation on earth, but Canada is no slouch either, it almost has an economy as large as California.

> You need to logically connect this statement to the argument I am making rather than just changing the subject to something irrelevant.

You stated that the USA cannot run a trade deficit forever, which I guess is because you assumed the economy must be a closed system that would simply deplete itself eventually. That isn't true. I'm not seeing a very well formed argument to understand here, just more of the same isolationism movement we've been hearing about since the 1930s.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since Szasz wrote this book. But it has stood the test of time in that the 'illness' of mental illness still remains a metaphor to biological illness. Szasz thought it was an unnecessary stigma that clouded the issue. For then (and now) there was no evidence of any underlying brain disease.

A very divisive subject, but despite a massive pseudo-science of so-called mental illness, there remains little evidence today. Many studies have shown brain changes correlated with schizophrenia, or what not, but never show a causal connection. Of course if you lose control over reality, this will be expressed in the brain, but the question why remains.

The evidence from pills has been pointed to as well. If a drug helps it means it's biological. Not true. Studies have shown comparable effects of cognitive therapy on the brain as with antidepressants.

Quote from Szasz:
“Although both home and mental illness are complex, modern ideas, we have fallen into the habit of using phrases such as "housing the homeless" and "treating the mentally ill" as if we knew what counts as housing a homeless person or what it means to treat mental illness. But we do not. We have deceived ourselves that having a home and being mentally healthy are our natural conditions, and that we become homeless or mentally ill as a result of "losing" our homes or our minds. The opposite is the case. We are born without a home and without reason, and have to exert ourselves and are fortunate if we succeed in building a secure home and a sound mind.”

I'm more familiar with the AMD boards, but several of the B550 ITX motherboards have 2.5gbe. At least the MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS boards have it. I think it's rarer for ITX boards with the x570 chipset, which is a bit older.
The problem is that this kind of idealism is often what kindles the passion for various programmings topics in quite some people.
My bet is on their own fab(s) at some near-future point. They are one of the few who can afford the infrastructure (buildings/equipment) and talent, and they totally rely on a supply chain that is currently dubious, and has the real potential to get a lot worse. And it would fit into all current and likely all future projects Apple does and would likely do since they have proven they are more than capable of designing their own chips.
