I think the statement you quote is incorrect.

Our society is quite capable of paying for artisans to restore the architectural splendors of earlier times, and does so. At the same time, expenditure on architecture for its own sake seems to have increased in the last decade or so, at least in centers of wealth (which, in modern times, is where non-utilitarian architecture has its first home, even if it likes to have a weekend place in the country.)

What has not happened is that, for the most part, the paymasters for the latter development have demonstrated little interest in adopting styles that demand highly skilled craftsmanship of the sort formerly valued (and still valued, apparently, so long as it dates to a previous era.) Today's vanity architecture reflects the values of those who commission it, rather than being a result of market prices for artisan work.

I know that a company I worked for bid for the platform information system to be revamped from old CRTs that would draw at 1200bps to show next train info across the system, and at that point, the PDP11 was still being used. I got to spend a few hours in there with it trying to debug a serial protocol that, again, was poorly documented, that was being used to render that information.

> This whole "you're not a human unless you have a phone number" thing sucks.

Oh it’s even worse than that. I have a land line that I use exclusively for when I’m forced to give a phone number (and also for faxing doctors and lawyers which is apparently still a thing). Many internet forms reject it because it can’t accept text messages. Yeah, that’s the fucking point. I don’t want text messages from your shitty service. It’s still a legitimate phone number you can call. Don’t ask for a phone number if you won’t actually accept a valid phone number! FFS!
Sexual attraction is different than lust. The first is good as such because it leads to procreation; the second is a vice, an excess of sexual appetite that darkens the mind and, like all vice, corrupts you from the inside. So ultimately, it is best not to "fall in lust". Lust will lead to misery in a relationship precisely because it is the condition where sexual pleasure is sought for its own sake; the other is reduced to an object of sexual exploitation. Because lust is sexual appetite that is no longer proportioned to reason, someone "in lust" will grow tired of his or her partner and will look for the next, often increasingly more risque thrill. Quite a miserable way to live.

Romance as such is also different from lust. It is sexual in nature, but with a greater emphasis on the affective than on just sexual attraction on its own. Romance is what people often mean when they say "fall in love". Typically, romance only lasts a couple years, hopefully having gotten the couple far enough to procreate. Of course, it is possible to cultivate romance, but the main point here is that relationships are supposed to mature, and clinging to the pleasure of passing emotions experienced early in the relationship and using that as a standard against which the relationship is constantly measured is a sign of immaturity.

Love is something we often seem incapable of understanding. Love is not an emotion as such, even if lovers experience emotions. Ultimately love is a desiring and a willing of the good. Love can be broadly divided into two basic varieties, namely, the erotic and the agathonic. The erotic (which should not be understoodd as sexual only) is a desire of the good for one's sake. Whenever we desire something for our own good, we are speaking of erotic love. Agathonic love is desiring the good of the other for their sake. A relationship requires both.
What strikes me about „Love“ is that we lack the vocabulary and the framework to speak about it.

There is not just „Love“ there are a bazillion feelings that fall under this term, and we cannot speak about it.
The 1920s have something to say about markets that climb without reference to underlying production.
That might work if the driver happens to be blind. But as I said, an attacker with knowledge of the use of hand signals to seek help would be alert to their passenger holding their hand up to window. So, they'd either restrain their passenger or threaten them to keep their hands away from the window.

It worked this time because we're in a local optimum of sorts where enough community members understand the signals to help and enough attackers don't know about the signal to prevent it from being made. However, as community consciousness of these signals grows (through articles such as this) attackers will get wise to the practice. Hence, they're self-defeating.

Sure, but in a parallel universe it could have flopped.

Risks need to be taken nonetheless. In this case, too aggressively, and it sucks that the users have to pay the price.

It's not fundamentally that all USB-C minimalism is inherently bad design, it's just that the standard is confusing, so it's bad in implementation. If we were to imagine a perfect sci-fi future, a single connector or no connector would be ideal.

The alternative is slow incremental iteration, but there's no guarantee that would lead us to a global optimum either. Look at Sony. Sony had some of the most groundbreaking products, then they merely iterated and didn't take risks. Where is Sony now?
There a lot "hackers" in Google Search results

But Statista care about money. So...
I'll take that. Considering I have woman friends who say "you're such an amazing guy, so handsome" while they're single and not interested in me romantically, and I can't seem to be interested in women who show interest in me for a set of reasons only partially identified, I'm pretty much ready to go Brave New World on things.

Jony Ive didn’t just win the lottery and get to design for Apple, het got to design for Apple because he’s great at design.

Armchair designers can whine all they want but they were the same know it all’s who ridiculed EarPods when they came out (haha it’s like a toothbrush) and every Apple product before then.

Of course not all these products became a runaway success. But a pretty significant amount of them changed the world.
The Michigan pipeline shutdown has been discussed for most of this year; back in May the MI governor began her attempts to shut it down by revoking easements issued to the operator.

It's not honest to characterize what has been happening in the last few weeks as a last minute action by the administration "just before winter".

It's also not honest to focus exclusively on the costs of the pipeline being shutdown without also considering the potential costs of it staying open. I'm entirely open to someone presenting the case that the costs of shutdown vastly outweigh even the worst projected cost of it remaining open, but if you're going to present that case, do it while being aware that there are people (including the MI governor and various Indian tribes) who don't agree with this assessment.

MI voted for Biden in 2020, its US HoR representation is split evenly between both parties, and both US Senators are Democrats. If you're suggesting that those in favor of carbon credits and higher gas taxes might lose representation if this pipeline is closed, maybe make that case more explicitly.

Also, it's not unambiguously clear that winning battleground states like Michigan is synonymous with winning Michigan, nor that it's necessarily required at all given the steady drifts of some red states into the purply-blue zone.
That would be terrible. /s
> Even if an aircraft isn't broadcasting its own position via ADS-B, if it's using Mode S its position can be multilaterated if you have a cooperating network of receivers (which is what FR24, ADS-B Exchange, etc. have).

I am a total noob in this area (and in general) but from my cursory understanding of Mode S, you would still have to have an active transponder on the aircraft. Wouldn't a military aircraft that wants to hide it's location not output any radio signals (except narrowband directed signals if those are practical?).

Looking for “why” is often a path to becoming more fragile and/or frustrated.

I do a lot of split tests (a/b testing). People always want to know why a treatment worked. I believe this is human nature.

However, the answer to any specific situation is generally unknowable. I may have only changed one color and gotten way different results, but there could be a billion or a trillion situation dependent factors that cause the situation to happen. It is pure chaos.

But our brains latch onto our cognitive biases to scaffold a reason, such as “because people find blue more reassuring than red.”

This is not generalizable, but more importantly: it probably doesn’t matter in order to resolve the decision that was the reason for the test.

Since then, I have accepted that seeking the “why” is generally a fools errand, unless you are doing pure science in a controlled, closed-input system.

That’s the beauty of not asking why. It’s a competitive advantage.
It’s reducing the reward not just increasing the risk.
Architectural revolutions come and go in steady cycles. This guy is of the post-modern school, which hates on the modern school. They do irrational nonsense just to make a point against rationalism. They post eg in /r/evilbuildings

Modernism hated art-noveau and previous such schools, like baroque, and esp. rokoko (late baroque), the typical l'art pour l'art extremist schools.

Nobody takes them too serious, so they get angry easily. And they usually work in US or British academia.
As one point of anecdata, the IRS refused to honor my Fi phone plan because it didn't have my name and mailing address registered on it (or at least to their satisfaction). I don't know if they still require a post-paid cell phone plan for their auth scheme or not, because I gave up trying to make it through after about 6 months of requesting magic codes through the USPS

Anyway, that's a lot of words to say "MVNO" is for sure not identical to "any other cellular network" for a certain class of interested parties, in the same way that pre-paid credit cards are not the same as other credit cards
I find these sorts of arguments disingenuous. Of course "Apple doesn't owe us anything", but we're all just shooting the shit on some random topic, so of course people have strong opinions about the products they use everyday.

I don't so much get the hate on Jony Ive, but I do get the disappointment, in the sense that we could have had really great products 5 years ago if it weren't for Ive's obsession with thinness and "svelteness" as I put it. Things like the failed butterfly keyboard, always sacrificing decent battery life for shaving another millimeter, etc. Glad to see Apple reversing many of these poor decisions with the latest MacBook Pro, but again, just frustrating because it could have been so close to perfection years ago if it didn't run off the rails with Ive's design obsessions.

This drives me crazy. I feel not enough people are complaining about this. Is finding text from the currently-loaded discussion such a niche thing?

I second the other comments, XenForo is the best currently.
First off you have to define 'transient'. Fed supporters seem to define it as the level of inflation going up for a while and then reverting to a historical norm, leading to permanently higher prices. Fed critics define it as a temporary rise in prices followed by deflation back to pre-inflation prices.

Fed critics like that definition because it lets them more easily paint the fed in a bad light. They claim the fed is crazy because prices never fall. I think that's disingenuous because of the improper definition of 'transient'.

Will inflation be transitory? Probably yes, if you use the first definition. I don't think there has been a situation in modern history where prices in America have backed off significantly. Prices are sticky, especially when labor shortages combine with inflationary pressures to drive up wages and therefore the costs of production. I suppose you could take a few hits off Cathy Woods' pipe and claim robots will take all of our jobs and send us into a deflationary spiral next year, but I think that's likely several years away at best.
Pretty different to Zapier. I'd say Zapier is very focused on piping data between different apps and tools, and is fantastic for establishing those connections.

Our focus is on consolidating and running as much of the core operations and logic in a playbook or process in one platform. This means you can build, run and manage more of your operations from one centralized "command center" rather than having to glue multiple SaaS tools together to achieve the same thing.

You can of course still integrate with other apps, and we actually have a Zapier integration for users who don't want to use our more technical webhook and API modules.

> "Cyclists are killed by cars all the time, whereas pedestrians dying to bikes is extraordinarily rare."

Evidence I can find suggests that's not entirely true. While pedestrians dying to bikes is extraordinarily rare, police reports of crashes in the UK in 2019 involving a (pedal cycle, pedestrian) pair happened 375 times and killed 4 pedestrians (~1%). Crashes involving a (car, bike) pair happened 13,336 times killed 48 cyclists (~0.3%).

That is (bike, pedestrian) happens 35x less often than (car, bike) but is fatal to the weaker party 3x more often when it does happen.

This dataset is particularly "accidents involving a pedal cycle and pedestrians which don't involve any other vehicles" so it excludes car -> bike + walker, kills walker situations.

(Injuries are another matter).

I agree with the OP for open-source projects, but I thought I’d share what a great thing Discord has been for my first year programming students. They share questions, glitch screenshots, and interesting websites. They are also able to get help on simple problems quickly. More often than not they help each other before I can answer their questions. I know the OP is about open source projects, so I’m not sure if it’s totally relevant, but I thought I’d share how much it has helped my students foster community, get immediate help, and feel more comfortable as they learn to program. They wouldn’t feel comfortable or ready to post to a forum and my Discord server provides a safe space to get started.
It almost seems people here hasn't had experience building a resume of creative work.

I used to do poetry, and you take risks, and sometimes it doesn't land the way you expect it to. We look at great artists and remember their greatest works, but forget about all the mediocre crap they produced.

Ridley Scott or Christopher Nolan, they take risks, and produce a movie that's a little too high browed and is not engaging or compelling as they envisioned, but they've already committed, launch it, and wait for the next cycle.
I'll throw this out: I would love to see an open-source version of Guilded.

Discord-like design, but with forum channels, open-sourced so it can be tweaked and guarantee data longevity.
Yep. And the affiliates might be government agents. Both ringleaders and affiliates need to take anonymity measures, so they seem equally vulnerable to me.

> HTML and CSS (facility with selectors)

Most senior backend engineers were generating this in the server response long before frontend frameworks were a thing.

> JS syntax and semantics, common patterns and idioms, gotchas

JS syntax is based on the most common C style syntax there is. You can reach a good enough level just by knowing that. The rest of the idioms/gotchas, well those are not really necessary and are mostly flaws which JS itself is trying to fix it with the new iterations.

> Web APIs

These are well documented, are you saying a senior backend engineer will have trouble reading the docs were a frontend dev won't?

> CORS

Come on, let's be serious here.

> Frontend data persistence mechanisms (cookies, local storage, etc.)

... so a backend engineer will not know how to use state persistent mechanisms? Think about that for a second.

> Critical rendering path

A backend engineer has responses to return in the milliseconds, not hundreds afforded by frontend, they know much more about getting data ready as fast as possible.

> Service workers (how and when to use)

A mini backend in the browser, and you're saying a backend engineer won't understand that?

Are you talking about learning the available tags, which would take less than a day, or designing for accessibility (eg. color/full blindness).

> just frustrating because it could have been so close to perfection years ago if it didn't run off the rails

I agree. But we're buying Apple's reputation, not Apple products. If Apple makes crappy products consistently long enough, people will stop buying. I think it is in Apple's financial incentive to alternate back and forth between "near perfect" products than to mediocre ones.

In the same way Facebook and Social media shows you a mix of stuff that you don't like and just enough interesting stuff to keep you hooked.

What should be blamed here is corporations maximizing profit.
Alot of people really didn't pay their rent with their stimmy's and were able to "afford a jet ski" and experiences and have done that.

This isn't meant to be a conservative talking piece, a lot of people just reacted to the lack of consequences and futility of their prior aspirations.

Also, Congress acted haphazardly and sent some forms of stimulus to anyone with an AGI below like $75k. AGI is influenced by how many deductions you make, not "income", as widely reported. Many people that were not cash poor but had or rolled forward deductions had $0 or negative AGI and automatically received stimulus payments.

And we all know how the Paycheck Protection Program went. That was an anything goes lottery.

It all are factors. I'm going to go with Ray Dalio on the weighting of the factors. Disruptions, readjusted priorities by individuals, and capital misallocations from what people want to do and how the capital entered the market.
> Claudia Sahm? Krugman? I rather listen to the hedge fund guys, at least they have skin in the game, don't they? Claudia Sahm is extremely partisan, and so is Krugman.

"Hedge funds guy" are extremely partisan, in that they will fight hard to prevent any kind of legislative or other systemic change that would threaten their rent-seeking. They invariably favor the status quo and/or anything that increases their ability to profit, regardless of other consequences it may have.

I'm not going to claim that Krugman isn't "partisan" (although I think using this term to describe him undermines the meaning of the term), but I'm also not willing to accept that "hedge fund guys" are not.
A major problem with electric pushbikes is that they are fast.

A few days ago I was pulling out of a side road. I was turning to go into town such that I had to first cross a lane of traffic going out of town.

I checked the crossing lane — nothing except for a guy in work clothes, no helmet, on a push bike. I checked the other direction and it was clear. I looked back towards town and got ready to start moving and…

HEY! The guy on the bike who was maybe 100 yards away before was now right in front of me. I was moments from pulling out in front of, or more like on top of him. He must have been doing 25-30mph without breaking a sweat.
