> You're ignoring the cost of unrestrained development without standards.

I'm not. I'm not saying that code should be merged without any stylistic commentary; I'm simply proposing that stylistic commentary be provided by other stakeholders in the service you're contributing to, on top of whatever linter or sanitizer is being used. That is, after all, the goal of a human reviewer. To add _another_ layer of gatekeeping is what I'm questioning.

> The impression I've gotten is that a AWS papers over their lack of development gatekeeping with unreasonable oncall loads.

I don't agree with this perception at all. AWS spends a lot of time building frameworks and libraries which attempt to minimize human gatekeeping to only the necessary areas. So think retries, backoff, timeouts, circuit-breakers, etc. Instead of adding gatekeeping at the code level (with things like code style), instead gatekeeping is added at the architecture and operations stages, which is where most of the work of keeping a production level service up, available, and fast. Operational level gatekeeping in the bounds of a given organization is a much more neatly constrained problem than stylistic gatekeeping and this gatekeeping happens on a per-service basis rather than a per-CL/review basis. This keeps overhead a lot lower.

My impression from being outside of Google (and having a Xoogler for a partner) is that Google loves bureaucracy and process, and that engineers that continue to stay at Google are fine with navigating these processes. Its answer to problems is to add more bureaucracy, another item for the checklist that a person/committee/reviewer needs to check for. That reflex is hard to shake, IMO.
Yeah, they blatantly misrepresented a overwhelmingly-supported bipartisan bill (all opposition came exclusively from Third Way Democrats in the House, about 1/3 of the party), Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act, using anti-Trump fearmongering tactics.

The Bill would make the Register of Copyrights position accountable to both the legislative and executive branches of government and selected by committee. It also established eligibility requirements to hold the position. Currently the position is appointed directly by the Librarian of Congress with no oversight (effectively only accountable to the executive, in the sense that the President can order the Librarian to select a new Register or risk the Librarian's job).

The EFF is extremely buddy-buddy with the Library of Congress and from what I can gather lobbied hard against the Bill to protect their friends from diluted political power.

It's a position that's completely opposed to principals one would hold if they wanted a transparent, accountable government. It's not a position that I thought made any sense for the EFF to support.

I challenged Katharine Trendacosta on their Activism Team who sent out the fear-mongering mailer and was given the brush off.

It's not a question of "would it work", the point is that real-estate prices are rising in dozens of countries, and thousands of cities. Zoning is a local issue. Assuming that the reason homes prices are out of control in Santiago, Chile and in Tel Aviv, Israel for the same reasons as in San Fransisco is, well, silly.
Can you recommend a few of those hot papers? I would love to read about that more.
Not sure about others but I can see what my brain thinks is a picture of Mount Everest. It's not a photorealistic image because I've never actually seen it IRL, but it's just a composite idea of Everest from movies, YouTube videos, images, etc. Now it's not quite the same as seeing something like you would through your eyes - you still see darkness when you close your eyes - but it's a vision that you can see in your "mind's eye" which is in color, vivid, you can hear it, smell it, feel it.
There are no costs to such cost overruns. Most of those politicians get reelected by the voters. And the contractor/consultant beneficiaries of the cost overruns fund those politicians and their campaigns.
The Stanographer Vlog Episode 4: “Lose Yourself”
haves (rich) and have-nots (poor) ? Sorry, perhaps you meant something else?
As long as we continue to discriminate between drugs we like or approve of, and those we're willing to put people in jail for, the drug war will never end.

Those of us who are in favor of legalizing drugs on the principle of cognitive liberty -- that every adult should be free to do what they will with their own minds -- should support the legalization of all drugs, not just their favored drugs.

We should also move away from blaming substances or their users for addiction, and look at what's missing in people's lives, at how the world is broken and lacking and how this dysfunction is leading people to seek solace in doing things that make them feel good, even to their own detriment.

The war on drugs has plainly failed to solve addiction, and will continue to fail, because it does not get at the root of the problem, which lies not in the substances, nor in their users, nor their suppliers.
> We pay people unemployment compensation because the knock-on effects from someone taking the next-best job are serious

We have unemployment insurance not because of sentimentality, but because insurance is economically useful. A person cannot insure themselves from loss of wage income, so paying some overhead to have the government do it makes sense.

Freezing evictions does not make sense. We do not freeze layoffs, for example, in our unemployment insurance program. We let employers make the layoffs they need and then have an insurance pool that the laid off can draw from.

A proposal to have rental insurance that you contribute to and can then draw from for temporary eviction assitance might be a good idea -- it depends very much on how it's implemented.

One of these has economic benefits but the other does not. Both are sentimental in nature, but that is not a sufficient condition to adopt a policy -- actual economic outcomes has to be the deciding factor.
Yes agreed they could be fixed and maintain the retro aesthetic, and it is an implementation issue.

The implementation is not modern. You could have a modern implementation of the same aesthetic.
You could just cut out the face from the picture.
I'm sure lots of websites are already doing stuff like this to prevent ad-blocking (and tracker-blocking), most likely proxy-ing a REST API for the actual data extraction when they can't get enough from the server logs.

Sure, it's possible some upstanding websites are doing it for their privacy-respecting telemetry needs to improve their product, but -let's face it- most do it to sell as much user data as possible to Google and Facebook.

No, no-script is not a real option, because 90% of the web is broken without JavaScript. Privacy sure feels like a losing battle these days :(
Zendesk Gouging
Is anyone else finding that Zendesk are continuously shifting their terms and conditions to make use much more expensive, especially for small teams?

I have been using a Zendesk ticketing system for 2.5 years on a small team that is part of a large project and today I go to do to some actions and I find the following, which would result in orders of magnitude more expense for the same functionality:

"You need to be on Zendesk Support Professional or Enterprise in order to try Explore. Upgrade your account to start your free Explore Professional trial."
Yeah that's me.
You mentioned transaction fees, the other is "inflation" or mined coins. As mentioned above, this is the same as gold and many other things. I guess it is just a matter of definition if you want to say that is a negative sum game. It is not unique to bitcoin though.
That's mostly true but there are limited circumstances where there sailboat would be the give way vessel.
I'm not saying Z is the cause of the crisis, it's more like them trying to capitalize on it. How bad you view this is based on your political quadrant, so fair enough to those who don't think it's a problem.

What I'm trying to bring attention to is that our generation is frustrated, we are priced out of owning a home unless we have some massive help from our parents or inheritance, and being repeatedly told that we will own nothing and it is for our own good is demoralizing.

There might be a sizeable portion of people who do have help from their family of putting down massive six figure deposits or are up on their luck from investments, but I still think it's important to bring attention to the housing crisis for those of us who haven't had the same sort of luck.

This is wild! When I dream it feels nearly indistinguishable from conscious life. Full color, sounds, pain, fear, people - weirdest of all is when people in my dreams solve problems that I can't solve, like math problems. Really trips you out because it's all in your brain, and "you" were the one that also solved the problem. I chalk it up to the solution also being incorrect but feeling correct in the dream, otherwise it would be quite terrifying.

> what an abject failure the so-called War on Drugs has been in the US

Depends on what you think it's goals were. If it was to eliminate or significantly reduce drug use, yes, total failure.

But if the goal was to continue to limit the power of African-Americans and other minorities, and transfer a ton of tax-payer dollars to the private prison industrial complex, it's been a wild success.
Also, watching his interviews doesn't mean you're a fan of Joe Rogan. Most of the time, I am interested in what the guest has to say and Joe rightfully shuts the fuck up and lets the interviewee talk - exactly what a host should do.

You definitely can’t use canvas (or any DOM API) without JS. The idea of using WebAssembly for WebGL (or canvas via whatever JS bridge) almost certainly won’t satisfy a large portion of the no-JS crowd, whose opposition to JS is opposition to the browser as an application platform generally.
A big part of the reason for alcohol deaths is how it's social acceptable and heavily advertised and encouraged. If it was treated the same way as cigarettes where it can't be advertised in commercials and movies with drinking are rated R then we'd be in a much better state. However the situation is much worse for alcohol in terms of social acceptance and how engrained it is so I imagine there will be way more pushback than when these changes were made for cigarettes.

Yup. Essentially, housing is an in-elastic demand, and livable land is a finite resource, further exacerbated by the realities of emigration. Combined with extreme wealth inequality, it brings us to this type of dystopia - https://ssir.org/articles/entry/tackling_the_housing_crisis_...

I've heard that a single head of cattle yields about the same amount of meat as 200 chickens. As far as I'm aware, cattle also tend to enjoy a much more pleasant life than factory farmed chickens. As someone who does eat meat but is also somewhat paradoxically concerned with animal welfare, this is important.

I actually have NYT blocked because their reporting has had such shoddy research lately, but I guess they're probably referring to the face-clustering feature for tags where, when you upload an album, they'll cluster all the like-faces to you to let you tag all of them at once [1].

It was released in December 2010 and, AFAIK, is technically only face detection (they didn't suggest whose face it might be for many years), not facial recognition. (They bought facial recognition company Face.com in 2012 and everyone was excited that FB might finally get real recognition).

I guess it could be argued that their implementation of face detection ultimately evolved into their current facial recognition systems (see: Ship of Theseus?), or that to a layperson the two technologies might (unfortunately) sound like the same thing. Or maybe I'm just being pedantic; I was just trying to add some historical context to the current, opt-in "facial recognition" feature in my comment above.

I don't hate it, I just think there is room to improve. Also, no need to accuse me of not understanding open source development. I am thankful to you and others, at the same time it is I think OK to say it needs to improve. Although, I believe like a lot of technology pieces that sometimes it is not worth improving - just start from scratch. There is a lot of baggage with Homebrew.

> Why is Medical Software so Hard to Use?

You mean like Google? Like when doctors Google in front of me?

It works really well. They get answers which they translate to me.

Exactly the same as my job. I Google it and translate to others. I don't think it's hard to use.

What's the real question?

Like how does one $ billion get lost on a Healthcare payroll fuck up? https://www.henricodolfing.com/2019/12/project-failure-case-...

For starters we could look at how many lives were lost because of that and what bureaucrat had to pay for those deaths.

But people are dumb cunts. You can't even get to stage one of how many people died. I suspect the bureaucrat's who killed people have been promoted since. Dumb cunts don't get that. Dumb cunts talk about ransomware killing people in Germany (Which it didn't) or things like complex electronic medical records which are at best stage two after we sort out all the rest.

That's why it's so hard to use. People won't look at the real issues.

The pronunciation of "pronunciation" is with "nun" not "noun", unlike "pronounce".

But "correct" pronunciation is community-based: that's where language came from and that's where it remains. The only way for there to be a correct pronunciation is if people name it "Correct Pronunciation".

I agree, but I think you are overselling how standard deployments are. And, underselling how well older java frameworks actually solved most problems folks would have. The standard "war" file goes a long way for what folks actually need for web applications.

And that completely ignores how well PHP works for standard web sites.

So, if anything, I would say that things peaked with very understandable deployments about a decade or so ago. Sure, we now have "web scale" orchestration frameworks for the giants out there, but... I question how well this actually solves problems that folks have.

Worse, I also challenge that anyone really has a handle on scale. Walmart's site, as an example, was completely garbage today when they released there silly supply of PS5s. In all sorts of ways that showed that eventual consistency is the unnamed assumption in how all "web scale" things are created.
no. it depends on your motives. if it's just building an audience to make money or fame, vetting sources doesn't matter, and may even be counterproductive. sad truths about our current culture.
I dont think there are many 'canon' texts in this space, because of all the conflicting evidence and continual improved understanding of how diets impact health (eg gut ecology, inflammation are recent big research areas).

Looking at a university level course list on nutrition and reading into each of the subject areas might be a start (Pick the ones that apply to you - nutrition in infants is perhaps not relevant). The Oxford Handbook of Nutrition is a good summary reference text.

I enjoy that he asks the stupid questions (or the questions that I would feel too self-conscious to ask) of those experts. It is such an excellent contrast to a stale interview with prepared topics and nothing natural to it.

It's easy to shit on the show for being a bro-science quackery discussion, not worthy of smart people listening to it or being guests on it. And as we all notice just how popular the show is, anything bad about it (it has plenty of that) becomes a good reason to want it _shut_ _down_

It isn't a science podcast per se, but he actually has a lot of scientists/science educations on. Neil deGrasse Tyson has been on four times, Sean Carroll three times, Brian Cox twice, Brian Greene once, Roger Penrose once, etc. (those are just the science people I remember off the top of my head, there have been lots) He's had Richard Dawkins, Elon Musk, John Carmack, Sam Harris on if you're into them. But it's very hit or miss. He has about as many quacks on as legitimate scientists/educators.

He does like 3-5 episodes a week, and they're each 2-4 hours. So there's a shitload of content, much more than I could ever sit through. When I was commuting ~3 total hours each day, podcasts were my medium of choice, I would generally listen to maybe one of his podcasts per week and skipped the other 2-4 after listening long enough to know that I didn't give a shit about the guest, whether it's because they were a quack, some random boring comedian, or some meathead MMA person.

He is (rightly) criticized for having lots of shitty guests on, and that criticism is fair. But the fact that the podcast is often bad doesn't mean that it's always bad. When the podcast is at its best, it is very, very good.

On the website the episodes are broken down by category, so if you want science content you just click "scientists". Unfortunately Joe is too dumb to tell the difference between the real scientists and the fake ones, so most of the quacks are lumped in there too.
