Thats my take too just based on talking to my grandparents vs anti-vax friends.

The anti-vaxxers just have never experienced the direct impact of a crippling but now easily preventable disease and what life was like before modern vaccines.

However they are looking to blame something for an autism spectrum kid ignoring the obvious which increased and broader diagnosis along with having kids older than previous generations.

No one wants to blame themselves understandably, so vaccines are a good scapegoat and not getting them is less risky now days due to the diseases being nearly eliminated so it all works until these old diseases come back, which they have.
> "Without a News Feed algorithm, engagement on Facebook drops significantly, people hide 50% more posts, content from Facebook Groups rises to the top, and — surprisingly — Facebook makes even more money from users scrolling through the News Feed."

Yes, it is confusing when they say they "turned off the algorithm" because what it sounds like is they are still using an algorithm here, just a far worse version of one, maybe an earlier version of the algorithm.

But if posts are "rising to the top" and "they saw double the amount of posts from public pages they don’t follow, often because friends commented on those pages". This still sounds like an algorithm is ranking posts, just in a "worse" way.

Removing the algorithm to me would mean seeing posts in a reverse-chronological order as they happened. Everything would appear equally. Maybe some controls are given to users to hide certain types of items, such as 2nd degree pages (pages your friends follow and comment on, but you do not follow), group posts, and so on.

But as soon as you re-order posts, you are using an algorithm. It is very disingenuous to claim you removed an algorithm when all you really did was replace it with a worse algorithm. Then justify your actions because the worse algorithm performed worse (wow shocking i know).
Pretty much sums up my opinion from 20+ years of following Apple.

It is sad. No one knew what to do with Apple Retail. That was the most neglected part of business.

Ron Johnson left. Scott Forstall forced out. Katie Cotton retired. ( I felt both Scott and Katie had a bit of Steve Jobs in them ) Mansfield retired. It sometimes feel Apple is now largely run by Tim Cook and Eddy Cue.

Although the new MacBook Pro do seems to show there are people in Apple that still give a damn. That their voice may have been previously drown out. Quote from Steve.

>It turns out the same thing can happen in technology companies that get monopolies, like IBM or Xerox. If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.

>So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product.

> They have no conception of the craftsmanship that's required to take a good idea and turn it into a good product. And they really have no feeling in their hearts, usually, about wanting to really help the customers.

Really wish Steve was still alive.

I agree that writers need to be motivated by something other than their own ego. But I disagree that routines aren't tremendously helpful, even for those uniquely inspired to write. People suited to write face the same challenges with self-control and time-management as everyone else.

For example, consider this interview with David Foster Wallace:

DFW: If past experience holds true, I will probably write an hour a day and spend 8 hours a day biting my knuckle and worrying about not writing.

CR: Not worrying about what to write?

DFW: Worrying about not writing.
I have tried at least half of the fonts there and many of them are decent, but none of them beat Iosevka (though the game concluded with Ubuntu). But I am pretty sure seeing the names affected the outcome a lot.
The trait appears to be lethal to males and they do not make it to birth.

It may be the case that at least one typical X chromosome is necessary for survival, and males only get one X chromosome.

Certainly interested in that, though you're not clear whether it's time, money or community you're asking for.

Whatever happens, at some point momentum would have to gather outside of RedHat.

Still very happy with X here, and mainly running X applications across network rather than Qt/GTK toolkits and desktop environments.
Am I?

How many serious applications have more code than the operating system, all libraries it uses, all extra tools running there to make it work/usable/maintainable, all CPU design, and so on?

Even if you just look at the Linux kernel there aren't many applications that have more code than it has. If you add all standard library and basic OS and additional tools like SSH and likes that you typically have installed then I am not even sure there exists any single application that would have more code than that.
Seems like the relative death rates of tusked vs tuskless would matter. Remember the 32% is a percent potentially on a small number. Say to an extreme 99% of tusked elephants were killed, 99% of tuskless were unharmed. If tuskless is a genetic traight, it takes over very quickly even though total population size is smaller.
Abstract: "Studies conducted between the 1950s and 1970s found the principles embodied in the First Amendment constituted a 'clear norm' endorsed by large majorities of community leaders and virtually all legal practitioners and scholars. This consensus has since weakened under the strain of arguments that racist slurs, epithets, and other expression that demeans social identities are an intolerable affront to egalitarian values. Guided by the theory that norms are transmitted through social learning, we show that these developments have spurred a dramatic realignment in public tolerance of offensive expression about race, gender, and religion. Tolerance has declined overall, and its traditional relationships with ideology, education, and age have diminished or reversed. Speech subject to changing norms of tolerance ranges from polemic to scientific inquiry, the fringes to the mainstream of political discourse, and left to right, raising profound questions about the scope of permissible debate in contemporary American politics."
lack of support for nvidia is entire nvidia's own fault. basically they decided to go there own way on buffer management for userspace and the development community rejected them at large.

it'll be fixed in about 1 year, nvidia finally got on board and built the APIs they needed to build. iirc KDE forced one of the nvidia devs to implement and then fix all the problems with nvidia on KDE wayland. basically the dev went back to nvidia and was like 'just implement the GDM apis'
Note that my comment was about comparisons between the Amish & JW flavors of shunning, rather than the Amish specifically. I believe my first paragraph was clear that I think the Amish model of shunning is the more reasonable of the two.

Let's also notice that you chose to say 'preserve their culture', whereas in the comment you replied to I was speaking of religions (and also, albeit implicitly, cults.) I'll come back to your Culture point, but I have to answer your question in the context of what I meant, not what you meant.

Religious shunning is problematic because it harms the individual. Again using Jehovah's Witnesses as an example: JW children are under intense peer pressure to make their commitment at an early age. They are strongly discouraged from building up a social network outside of the JW domain, or even to pursue higher education. So if a JW child gets baptized at 14, and then when 20+ realizes they are gay (or atheist, or buddhist), coming out as such after making that JW commitment causes them significant social, economic, & psychological harm.

But does it protect the religion? Absolutely. That's the whole point, individual-be-damned (if you'll forgive the pun.)

As to your point about Amish culture: religion & culture can be orthogonal to varying degrees. I suspect the Amish are one of the extreme examples, where religion & culture overlap inextricably. There are many aspects to their culture that are especially precious to them, and so it only makes sense that they wish to preserve it.

But still, it would be willfully myopic to not concede that the shunning harms the individual. Atleast /rumspringa/ gives their youth the ability to make a more informed decision, and even a way to avoid complete ostracism even if they explicitly choose to live as though English, and never make the commitment to be Amish. I give them credit for that accommodation, relative to the shunning that other insular religious groups do.
Yes. The machine learning model runs on GitHub's servers (it's too big/expensive to run locally), so it has to submit the context of what you're working on to GitHub.
For me, carbon removal is a quite good answer to the international crisis of the commons. A constant difficulty with international efforts for carbon reduction is that different countries think they should have different 'budgets' for carbon, or are under an unfair burden. On top of this almost any significant enough country can effectively destroy the communcal effort to reduce emissions. Carbon removal is almost the only hope for rich nations to unilaterally reduce carbon in the atmosphere.

What world do you live in where you can refactor without changing tests?

I mean, it sounds like an ideal one but I’ve never lived in such a world. Tests always seem to couple to the way code is currently organized, and I can barely imagine any refactoring change that wouldn’t require some changes in my tests.
Doesn't sound like you tested it on a mediocre mobile phone, sounds more like a laptop/desktop.

However, regarding your question: For one thing, many pages are being build for mobile devices first nowadays. So you would not simply push 40k rows but use some kind lazy loading which is a lot harder to build and can easily degrade the desktop experience.

Furthermore, people often use libraries to get rid off the browser differences and if you use too many of them, use them inappropriately or just a few that are not optimized for performance you can easily ruin the performance. In addition, the whole npm ecosystem makes it very easy to load and combine libraries. Often you need only a few functions but if your tree-shaking doesn't work correctly you end up with a lot of code that has to be loaded even if it will never be used.

So frontend development is a messy place and it is easy to fuck up the performance. Even though that should be no excuse for any frontend dev to write crappy code...

Letting your intern blindly commit to your code base seems like the bigger issue here. The entire purpose of an internship is to learn and to be guided by professionals, not to be treated as a cheap laborer. You don't hire interns, you train interns.

I kinda get your analogy (assuming you were trying to make one), but I think that example is fundamentally different. With adjournment everybody already knew how it worked before the game even started, there was no surprise "technically not against the rules" kind of thing.
I won't argue you needn't worry about long term covid effects but I don't think comparison with polio does much to support that. Polio was known to cause paralysis in some patients since antiquity while covid is essentially a completely new disease that we just don't know that much about yet.

I trust Apache to spin up a new PHP process for each request. Except under DOS attack or with some horrendous memory leak, it's just solid. Obviously it's a lot more overhead. But if there's some uncaught exception in a corner of PHP code, it doesn't crash the main thread and drop all the other processing on incoming requests. This means that a bug a user discovers is usually something I can fix during business hours, not get woken up at 4am because "the server is down". I use PM2 when I manage Node and it does a fairly good job of keeping things running and well-logged, but to me the Node event loop is just a single point of failure I don't need unless I'm building something that really needs Node's architecture, like a fast-paced game or chat. (And I've even done those with PHP). And then in cases where I need the server to do a few seconds of heavy data processing like collating large reports once they come back from a database, with Node you need to spin up a worker pool to not block the loop with those operations, which complicates reliability even more; with PHP you can get away in a lot of cases with letting the thread spawned by the call just take its time to chew through a bunch of math.

I've always been a fan of stateless code wherever I can get away with it. My casino, for instance, ran on PHP, and although it upgraded the connection to a socket where possible, it created a new DB connection and loaded the game state from SQL, then stored a new game state, for every single action a player took within a game, e.g. every hit within a hand of blackjack. The database was at all times a consistent snapshot of the entire state of the casino. A single player's action might fail and roll back, but it wouldn't bring down the whole site and lose all the other actions in progress.

In some respects, it's also just that I think setting up an Express router (or Koa, my preference) and graceful handlers and 404 handlers and everything in Node is overkill if you just want to serve web pages, validate forms or handle RESTful API calls. DB connections go down and you may need to recover from a slew of failed queries in rapid succession instead of just counting on a new DB connection being tried for each incoming request.

Node really shines with anything that requires statefulness on the server, low latency, push data, etc. And for me the nicest thing about Node is the ability to share the same unified data classes between client and server. But I view Node kinda like a Porsche. High performance, a bit unreliable and dangerous. Great to have in the garage. But when you're just driving to the market you're better off taking the Subaru.
Can humor be reduced to an algorithm?
Data query wise it's significantly more complicated to compile 2 db row spans than it is to do queries on one db row spans. The library that makes and manages those spans before uploading can deal with those use cases internally if it wants, a lot of these systems have support for single point events too.
I think that's more an argument against using reflection though. If you use reflection, you're effectively changing the rules of the language. No automated tool will be reliable after that.

Isn't it well-known that Apple's culture is extremely secretive?
Interesting. The vaccines got us to a world where it's rare that bad things happen - to the point that we kind of think that nothing bad should ever happen. But when something bad happens (autism), they blame the thing that got us to the point where bad things are as rare as they are.
What do you mean by quick? Evolution is just random mutations. You're basically trying to diversify and spread risk. If there is huge selective pressure only a handful of genes will survive and when they reproduce they will be over represented compared to the previous generation.
Would you be happy with no paper certificates for gold and just use gold coins? From your earlier argument I suspect the answer is no.

Every single argument you have made is that governments and banks cant be trusted with paper money even when it is backed by gold. So, why do you push for fiat currency?

If government and banks are not to be trusted with paper money then hard currency is the only solution left that doesn't require trust in anybody.
People seem to have this weird idea they are a head on some kind of separate body vehicle. Your head is an integral part of your body and is reliant on its systems and structures.

Walking increases blood flow to the brain and the brain relies on blood to provide all kinds of nutrients and material as well as to remove waste. Exercise is a required activity for humans and impacts brain function and digestion to name just two significant aspects. eg walking helps with passage of food through intestines. Walking is therefore not optional if you want your major organs to operate effectively in the long term.

To put this in harsher terms: if you spend 8 hours sitting without a break you are operating your brain in a sub-optimal way. This doesn't mean you can't come up with ideas at all but your brain is now operating at less than its best. You might think you're getting away with it but later in life if you keep the no-walking habit you'll have issues.

Sleep is another piece of this puzzle and people love to brag about operating on less sleep. Don't believe their hype. You probably need more and better quality sleep. Sometimes you might sleep for 15 hours especially if you've disturbed your normal sleep patterns. This is not some shameful aberration since its the body resetting from a deficit. But aim for an average of around 7-8. You likely shouldn't be averaging 10 hours since that can be a sign of illness. If you are one of the rare people who can actually operate on 5 hours then do so. Personally I have a goal of making money while I sleep so, from my perspective, sleep is a profit center not a liability. Make your waking hours more productive rather than optimizing your sleep hours down to meet some arbitrary number to be one of the cool kids.

Something Strange Has Happened to Kamala Harris’ Arms
Nah, looks like natural selection. The article mentions that "The phenomenon of elephants going tuskless is not new. Researchers found the number of tuskless female elephants in Mozambique increased by almost double over 30 years. This overlaps with a period of civil conflict, where armed forces slaughtered 90% of the elephant population to produce ivory.". That is a LOT of selection pressure. Also, the African Elephant Specialist Group (AfESG) [1] published a graph of elephant populations, the reduction in total numbers is pretty dramatic. You might liken this to the way that humans in small, isolated communities will also start to differentiate in a hurry (forex, that one blue family).

Browsers give no control over when areas are repainted. If you change a bit of CSS or DOM, it will be repainted in the next frame. There is no way to say 'dont paint this yet'.

The thing the contain property does is ensure that a particular Dom change won't affect pixels outside the element involved, which means the browser won't need to do any extra repainting.
This is both true and false.
It would be great if I could point something at a noisy machine and find out precisely which panel is loose and vibrating!
my only real disappointments with the new MBPs so far, on paper (haven't received mine yet) have to do with networking. I was really hoping the new MagSafe would be precisely that, data+power with ethernet in the power brick. I'd have recommended adding 140W bricks to every desk in our office if that had been the case.

And while I understand the chipset availability limitations, 2x2 802.11ax will at best nearly equal the performance of my 2017 MBP in my current 3x3ac deployment. Guess I'll have to hurry up transitioning to ax.

Lumping the headphone jack in with VGA and floppies is a tired, bullshit tactic. Speakers (and our ears) are driven by ANALOG signals. The phone, as long as it produces sound, will need to contain a D/A converter and an amp. Removing the headphone jack is simply a petty, anti-customer denial of electrical access to something that the device is already doing.

Now we have to have redundant D/A converters in every sound-reproduction device. The result is totally unpredictable (and often shitty) sound quality, the opposite (but totally predictable) result from what apologists were touting when defending this rip-off.
I think this might be possible with a phone that has AR support - you'd scan a QR code on the sound camera to capture its position relative to the world, then the phone could display a 3D view through the camera of where the sound source(s) are.
Filtering a list is easy when all the data exists on the client and has no advanced filtering controls.

I'd love to slap an input box above a table and call it done but the product owners and designers that fill my backlog have other ideas.

I'd love to make sure this CSS visibility filtering worked well for screenreaders and other accessibility tools but that ticket was pushed down the backlog in favor of replacing native inputs with custom inputs that better match our branding guidelines.

I'd love to make sure these new custom inputs we cranked out last sprint work well for screenreaders and mobile devices, but we had another marketing lead join the company and now the branding guidelines are changing again.

I'd love to just focus on some HTML and CSS, maybe improve some of the touch support for mobile users, but now the release engineering team wants to have a meeting about micro-frontends?

I'd love to get past the existential crisis I had during that micro-frontends meeting and start working on the UI again, but first I have to debug all these failing Docker containers that's required to run our backend.
