I've never understood the 1/4 mile time race thing, I assume this came from freeway on-ramps such that it was how easily could you get your car up to regular freeway traffic speed....

However, these days, I don't think that metric holds muster...

Sure its cool how fast one can go in many cars etc... but the usefulness of this metric (for regular drivers of actual production cars) seems really negligible.

EDIT: The title should read: Celeb with one of the largest car collections in the world spends money on something you would expect if you had the same money to spend on it.
Why is anarchism necessarily socialist? If it’s just about the lack of hierarchal centralized power, then laissez faire capitalism can fit with decentralized communities who don’t restrict economic activity.

I’m not saying it’s good, only questioning a certain definition.

The reason is that it's demand shock more than supply shock. Electronic equipment supply is reported to have largely recovered and is above pre pandemic levels. But demand from backlog and increased consumption has outstripped supply. So it's not just microcontrollers that are in higher demand, it's everything.

What I find particularly funny about this, it that Maggie Thatcher was a strong proponent to keeping the trains in public ownership, believing that privatising them was a bridge two far, even for her. Her successor on the other hand, they weren’t so bothered.

However the recovery of passenger number after privatisation is undeniable. While the private model wasn’t great, the previous public ownership was even worse. Hopefully our second stab at public ownership goes better, this time we have very successful models like TfL to work from.

Recently had a throwaway thought while reading The Dawn of Everything.

The formation of cultural norms fundamentally sit on the idea of recollection of the distant past and not of that which has just happened in front of you.

Example:
The reason for wearing ties is part of the western cultural code not because each person distinctly and has first-hand witnessed how it started, it's just being shaped by historical precedent.

So what happens, over time, to cultural norms when the recollection can be made in first-person, distinct ways? (Think the internet, VR)

> Let’s say there is no safe limit for lead. Regardless you’d have to agree that at some point the harm caused by lead becomes irrelevant? If someone has 1 ppt lead in their blood the harm isn’t actually measurable?

How does the harm from lead become irrelevant? It takes the role of calcium. Deposits in the bones, slowly and continuously gets back into the bloodstream. Takes the roles of calcium in all of its pathways. It isn't a one time exposure, we are all exposed to it, 300 - 500 times more than earlier humans.

> And no, you’re wrong. Lead is excreted (why measure in urine/feces otherwise?). Lead exposure isn’t permanent just like all the other toxins humans are naturally exposed to.

Digestive system is not 100% efficient at extracting nutrients. Absorption is 10 - 90%, varies on a number of factor. Everything ingested is excreted. Excreted doesn't mean it is explicitly selected for filtering. Fats, vitamins, proteins, everything is excreted to some degree.

This JSX syntax is a perfect example of one of its subtleties: map() creates an array, and an array of elements is automatically expanded to single elements. I know that when I learnt JSX, this was not intuitive.

Nice post. I have nothing in particular to add to this post except that several moons ago I worked with the author for a brief time. So it was surprising to see this name pop up here again. He's an interesting fellow who does some interesting dev work, last I checked was with WebGL, and I believe was writing a book at the time too.

At that time, and due to the circumstances, I was kind of cranky and probably not terribly fun to be around. But I enjoyed getting to know @FarhadG through that time though. So if you happen to see this, hope all is well!

It's using a combination of OCR and GPT-3. GPT-3 is basically being used as a glorified grammar corrector, trained on bad OCR sentences and their correct equivalents. If there's spelling mistakes, crossing outs, or bad OCR going on, GPT-3 will pick it up and correct it into a coherent sentence.
There's also a web-based editor that you can go into and edit everything afterwards.

Unfortunately most academic economists are not going to touch it. It's a sprawling, highly polemic work by a marxist anthropologist. Much of the book focuses on various moral issues portraying history as a sequence of just and unjust acts, oppressors and oppressed, and finally there are some call for coordinated debt forgiveness.

That's not really inviting for academic economists that need to focus on quantitative or experimental research and would get nothing by wading into these debates.

So those with economic training who do touch it will be outside Academia or on the margins. Here are some:

The general consensus of these reviews is "man, he gets a lot of stuff wrong, and I don't agree with the central thesis, but boy what rich examples, and interesting insights are in this book."

The reason deLong waded in is that he has a very promiscuous mind and likes to think about Soviet tank strategy in World War 2, financial markets, and public policy. And he shares all those ruminations on his blog. So he'll pick it up, but he has tenure and (apparently) lots of leisure time. There aren't many others in the same position.

Still, it's way easier to integrate a js library in a svelte component than in a react component. So maybe the two approaches have different tradeoffs and respective advantages

“lose the labels” resonates with me heavily.

When I was younger I was gay (back when someone coming out was an earth-shattering deal), and the biggest reason I didn’t come out was because that label seemed to come with a script. A handful of people in my K-12 experience came out, and without fail each time they’d start dressing differently, adopt a lispy accent, and generally change their mannerisms & friends to fit a stereotypical gay label. This scared young, confused me. I liked who I was, but I feared that people would see “gay” instead of me, and that adopting the label would somehow unconsciously transform me too. I didn’t come out.

I’ve always thought about that experience, and watching the women in tech stuff exploding over the last decade I’ve similarly interpreted through that lens. All of the women I know who code have unique experiences when it comes to being involved in this hobby. All of the men I know have had their own unique experiences as well. It’s all felt more like a rainbow than a binary population split. I never understood, and still don’t understand, the obsession with projecting arbitrary labels on people and treating them differently based on those labels. It just seems to produce people warped to fit in rather than stand together. We should lose the labels, and instead just focus on finding a set of sustainable, normative behaviors that get us to equitable future I think all of us wanted all along.

Labels, especially involuntary ones, just seem to build walls & resentment between otherwise kind people. Fuck them.
The hashdb is part of the operating system and only gets updated with OS updates.

It can be updated-- at some cost. But if it is very frequently updated then the protection against receiving a targeted list is lost.

To state it another way: Users ask "Why won't the government order apple just gives me a list of the hash of every political image on the internet in order to expose my files?" and the answer is that the database is part of the OS, common to everyone, updated infrequently, so it can't be used in targeted attacks. That protection is lost if the database is frequently updated.

It's also true that already uploaded photos won't be rescanned, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

I guess here is where "no-code" as a big-tent term breaks down.

Most of the targeted products in the space seem like they can be expressed as "I know how to ___, but I don't want to ___" (f.ex. Retool looks like: write a query, write a UI). Which, yes, trade opinionated design for design time efficiency, which is most of their value.

On the other hand, you also have no-code frameworks which are icons and a designer wrapped around primitives that afford you enough access to control flow and variables to build anything you could code. E.g. Node-RED, UiPath, or Power Automate. Which don't need to be very opinionated, because their entire purpose is to be a build-anything toolbox.

So it's probably more useful to differentiate focused no-code products from general-purpose ones.

The whole "no-code" thing is mostly yet another marketing stunt that tries to establish a fake paradigm. WYSIWYG have existed since the beginning of home computing. By all standards, Dreamweaver or Frontpage are also "no code" and I'm quite sure they are more than 20 year old.

It's not a "movement" it's a boring marketing campaign about some tools that are nothing new.

Let's call these tools "shit code generators" instead and try market that.
USD being the reserve currency helps here. Being a reserve currency means it's literally the backing collateral for other currencies (at least in great part). Of course other currencies are devaluing at the same rate, or those countries would have a financial crisis on their hands.

USD or any currency measured against a basket of real assets though... well we know how that's been lately.

Rushing, pinning, punching, and throwing are physical and violent. And I don't know how you ruled out threats.

This has been a popular twitter shorthand to dunk on AWS, but it's a really stupid list. Yes, there is more than one (there are six [0]) - targeted at different skill levels (e.g. someone coming from Kubernetes is going to have different expectations than someone starting with no prior knowledge).

But...

#1 isn't a way to run containers it's a way to organize best practices of your container images across your organization. That's closer to a container registry than a way to run containers.

#4/5 aren't "ways to run containers" - they are explicitly ways NOT to run containers. Like yes, you can CHOOSE to bring a container to a native EC2 instance, but it's not really a way to run containers any more than an empty lot a "Way to build a house"

#9 isn't a way to run containers, it's a service that you can instead run in a container to test it locally. Basically the opposite of the indication.

#10 admits it's misusing a service. You can provide a container definition to build your services via CodeBuild. Hardly what people think about when they talk about running a container in the cloud.

#11/12 are exactly the same semantics as with the root services - just running in your local datacenter instead of AWS. Counting those as separate is like counting EC2 as different services for every instance types.

#13 Fargate isn't a different way to run a container - Fargate is still ECS. It's just ECS where instead of managing the EC2 instances underneath you let AWS do it for you. The container interactions are identical.

#14 is a CLI tool to help with building container images that then run on ECS

#15 is a CLI to interact with the existing services

#16 predates containers

I’m actually in the process of implementing a new website for myself that’s basically a notebook as written, so that you’ll see handwriting, rather than it being converted to text (though I will provide plain text alternatives for accessibility purposes). My theory is that this will help me to keep things shorter (brevity is a virtue), and integrate illustrations and diagrams far more prominently, as well as just being different and experimenting in an interesting direction. Still not certain it’ll pan out, but I’m hopeful.

I’m using my reMarkable tablet. I’m hopeful that the PineNote will come along nicely to the point where I can make dedicated software that works better for my purposes, things like managing metadata, colour and hyperlinks as part of the document, rather than as independent post-processing; and one other long-term goal I have is segmentation of prose into lines and words (despite occasional overlapping ascenders and descenders) to allow text selection and reflowing for diverse screen sizes, rather than just having the entire thing be a static image.

Part of the fun with building tiny projects like this is they're really low stakes. I build them as an mvp in a matter of weeks/months, launch them fast, then get a feel for if I enjoy running them. If I don't, I axe them, or end up selling them - (which is also a fun process).

This means I only really have a couple of things on the go at once, but I can try out way more ideas in a short period of time.
Repeating a blog post over and over doesn't make it true.

The author is wrong. Most of his statements are about React, not JSX.

It's syntactical sugar for nested function calls, that's all. Brackets are turned into function statements, attributes are turned into object props.

The author conflates React properties with JSX, which is wrong. The author also confused JSX limitations, you cannot do statements because it's a single expression.

Please go read the JSX spec instead of some random blog post.

American debt is issued entirely by Congress and the Treasury, and its monetization controlled by the Fed's Board of Governors, which is appointed by the government and independently operated. There's no means of control over these two things outside the U.S. government. There's also the FOMC, but this is relatively unessential such that it's unlikely to be related to whatever "essential truth" Graeber has in mind. In particular, they don't set monetary policy but do whatever the Board of Governors orders in that regard.
Then you could say the same thing about Hightouch and Segment. Segment == Rudderstack for all intensive purposes.

The way it's differentiated is that Rudderstack does event collection + forwarding + some flavor of reverse ETL. In order to be successful with them you'd need to replace your whole stack and do event collection with them. A lot of companies already have an existing stack and they want to buy a best-in-class Reverse ETL player (something that takes 5 min to set up) and that's where we come in!
