I like this answer, and Krause's on my reading list now. I have to speculate that the development of the organizational/institutional capabilities to produce bronze on a large scale (especially the need for reliable long-distance trade networks needed to acquire tin (or pre-made bronze) en masse), and not just the effectiveness of the material as an arm (and the feedback between these two factors), was a very important change. 'Suddenly', you have a whole part of society whose livelihoods are dependent on the bronze industry and who would seemingly be willing to fight to keep their potentate(s) in power if it meant keeping their trade afloat (were the original nobles just the members of the local bronze 'guild'?). And of course an even larger segment of the population willing to go along with it for their own safety.
I guess that could change with the new German government. Also worth noting is that Daimler, Ford and GM are on-board with it. Assuming car makers from other countries are good with that, that would mean the vast majority of manufacturers support it. No idea why BMW and VW are against it, especially VW is pushing hard towards EVs.

Your application needs to be robust in the face of the power going out, being OOM killed and other non-orderly shutdowns. Given that, there’s no point in using a different mechanism for an orderly shutdown. Just exit, don’t run destructors, they’re a waste of time.
$SHIB actually does have cashflow, they built an exchange with decent volume and about $500mm in assets on it so far. Volume fees at any price flow to $SHIB token holders.

The - therefore - price multiple is still meme specific and can evaporate at any time

But I mean we would be having the same conversation if this was a $100mm marketcap coin, instead of a $36bn marketcap coin, but the criticism would be less true

so yeah just something to see, not exactly a counterpoint, just some additional peculiarity that makes you go “huh, well how about that”
Yeah this is why when my gf let on she's a big Frida Kahlo fan, I suggested we keep living in separate houses. Mine is a paradise of clean dishes and vacuumed rugs. Hers is like a girl's dorm room with bras and underwear all over the floor. It's great to not feel judged hah.
FWIW I don’t think any of you actually have a net worth. We’re just repeating the most commonly reinforced sentences of the last few decades.

Everyone has a net worth, which will highlight some things and leave out others. Sometimes it is zero or negative, but you still have one.

But I'm guessing that wasn't an error but a thinly veiled way to call everyone poor as an insult.
That's wishful thinking, sadly. Domestic abuse was rampant throughout history, and small communities, rather than correcting them within couples/family units, more often normalised/hushed these because of the abuser's role within the group. Dominant/subservient dynamics, source of most of bad actions, are not related to scale.

They did something; they found someone else to blame:

"The management claims it was not legally required to do so at the time, based on advice it received from the law firm Hogan Lovells."

Although a company the size of booking.com should have its own qualified legal department, so that may not shield them from being liable...

I'd try to convince you, but well, I think it'd be a waste of my energy, and I don't care enough to spend that energy for yet another idiot roaming the world thinking "It's all a giant conspiracy!". Besides, you've heard it all and you know you won't be fooled.
The German car lobby is very powerful. But not powerful enough to prevent the implosion of their business.

There are two types of car companies in Germany: those on track to switch to fully electric production in the next 5-10 years; and those nowhere near on track that are very afraid of the implosion of their market share as those others are saturating the market with EVs. That's not a future thing; it's already happening.

So, the Germans committing to any ICE phaseout would speed this process up and mess with the (long) time they've given themselves to get out of this mess. The problem with that timeline is that they no longer control it. The transition is happening, whether they like it or not.

Tesla was within a few hundred cars of dethroning the VW Golf as the most popular car in Germany. VWs iconic Wolfsburg plant, which was restored by the allied forces after WW II, is hitting a record low production volume this year at the same time Tesla is opening up a factory in Germany. That's not a coincidence. And VW is one of the better prepared manufacturers. They actually have a decent shot at surviving the transition to EVs. But that's not necessarily true of the other manufacturers.
Studies have shown that deaths from COVID among children are incredibly rare, and more kids die from the flu than from COVID. People with auto-immune diseases, transplant patients and certain kinds of cancer have always been more susceptible to illness. Never have we mandated flu vaccines before, and those people would be equally as susceptible. However, I think you should be asking yourself.. if an mRNA vaccine presents auto-immune response, who is to say that isn't harming those being forced to be vaccinated? There is little to be understood about many auto-immune diseases, just look at fibromyalgia, which has often been labeled as a psychological condition and not a physical one. Many doctors still don't believe it is real, and if you use it for a disability claim it is difficult to prove.

If what you're saying is to be considered, then it must also be considered that the vaccine could have subtle side effects that may not be immediately known and later exhibit themselves as incredibly hard to diagnose and nearly impossible to detect illnesses.

Its not new.

In dot com bubble mattress companies pivoted to ISPs. Back then though, the announcement is what caused the speculative fury and let them raise more capital by selling into liquidity.

What is new is that simply being on the most shorted stock list makes reddit try to blow up some hedge funds by pumping the shares a few hundred percent - forcing additional buys by the hedge fund - alltogether creating enough liquidity to actually rescue the company if they sale new shares directly into the market! Sometimes the companies are asleep at the wheel and miss it. It took Gamestop months to wake up. I told people they could do this, many doubted.
Listening to music can help us focus and work harder. Poetic experiences let us appreciate life and understand people around us. Some things give practical utility and some aesthetic value. Neither is more important than the other. We have to eat to survive, but that is only the bare minimum.

I definitely appreciate things more that provide valuable utility or some other derivative value. You're right that some works are appreciated beyond their utility, for how they are experienced.

I do think there may be utility in these things even when the pattern is more apparent than the application. A good poem makes us feel something. I just wouldn't get the same feeling from a math problem unless it solved something for me. Not to diminish your appreciation for this, just that I find a poem more accessible.
Having an application definitely help spreading the concept. It is my first time hearing the term Chu Space, without an application, I have hard time motivating myself why should I read the article. We are more welcoming to new things when we see similarity to something we already knew. We use metaphor, analogy for this purpose - to establish conceptual linkage.

As for music, I do think it fits the human nature (not necessarily a "problem") of longing for company. Or put it other way, we can't have our mind "empty" for long. The practice of "mindful emptiness" is meditation imo.

No, it's still there even in the most recent version. (Maybe I just have too much mail?)
It started as sort of a faster version of Ruby, and now is going its own way. It makes sense, as Ruby is an extremely powerful yet simple language, but once you start using it you often wonder how many more applications it could address if it was faster, which is the problem that Crystal wants to solve.
Crystal is also smaller than Ruby, so it can become a suitable choice in embedded systems and generally under resources constraints.

Every kingdom was started by a bad actor who did exactly what you say is too improbable to worry about. Anarchy is so unstable that we don't even notice them before they devolve into some form of authoritarianism.
Hmm. It's not?

I mean your original sentence still stands...
I think that the point is not about lowering standards; it's about preventing unrelated variables to enter the equation.

Examples:

- A lot of redundant homework is assigned, quantity over quality. Some students with external duties (e.g. family, work) are just unable to deliver all the homework, and thus get lower grades, even though less homework would be enough to demonstrate ability in a topic;
- Deadlines are set too close to an homework availability date, so students with external duties are sometimes unable to meet them;
- Students in affluent families could be helped by third parties with their homework; it's hard to verify that;
- Students that do a bad homework or fail an exam should be able to retake it, since it's easier to have a "bad day" if your family has issues.

The point is measuring actual student ability, not busywork throughput or the willingness to meet arbitrary deadlines.

An to remove the virus just in a country would be useless. Specially in a country that receives millions of international tourists. It would return again and again. At this point is either vaccines or more people killed and more money to the sink.

And as in the Ebola case we really didn't have a good picture of what is happening with pets until late. Cats can pick it and ferrets most probably.
Makes sense. Nobody (aside from special cases) will be buying combustion engines by then anyway. The "signing up" is pointless.

Just as pointless as some countries cough cough agreeing to things, forcing other countries to ratify them, and then ratifying it themselves.

I wonder how much of the Bernie Sanders phenomenon was bolstered by Chapo and extremely online figures inspired by Chapo. Obviously, that's not to say that the Squad nor the post-2016 DSA surge owe anything to them, but they likely contributed towards the popularizing of the left to a certain younger extremely online audience.

Crystal is a very nice language. It is strongly-typed and inspired by Ruby's syntax but not identical to Ruby. Crystal's performance is excellent, but compiling is a little slow. (And no Windows support yet - but under development.)

Given these features, there does not appear to be much adoption of Crystal among Ruby developers. It is still early days for the language (post 1.0 release).

Some questions for Ruby developers:

- Have you taken a look at Crystal?

- What is your impression of Crystal?

- Are there any features that would make you use the language? (Or reasons for not using Crystal?)

Weird how the people in the imperial core never want to admit its not their economics or their political model that made them rich in the first place.
It was the over exploitation of the rest of the world once the imperialist countries got the overhand.
They made the number 1 and number 2 economy for most of history become backwaters.

Funny thing is where I'm from the Netherlands we even called it our golden century and still people can't connect the dots between our economic wealth
and the plundering of the world. But I have already seen the break down of our institutions from 2008 till now, the shock of 2008 was so big that the dividend
from western exploitation is not enough anymore to cover up bad leadership.

As long as there is generational poverty people from the imperial core will also carry generational guilt.
The wrongs need to be corrected before westerners can talk about how to run things properly.
But I don't see that happening until the western imperial empire breaks up into many pieces.
This article left me wondering.

What happens if you put a small group of modern people in relative isolation outside any legal jurisdiction, and ask them to create their own legality? Also you tell them to check their references and their books, even read the New Yorker; it's not a Lord of the Flies scenario. Would they be able to revert to "cavorting", or will they immediately elect a major and build an office complex so that they can toil from 9:00 to 5:00 in some deeply civilized paperwork?
As a great philosopher once said, "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
Everything needs to be perfect, so there's no point in accommodating anything less than perfect?
Wouldn't that severely damage China's ability to attract foreign capital, though? I mean, they've already made their printer go brrrr to the point where Jerome Powell would blush, so it doesn't seem like they have a ton of flexibility in terms of domestic monetary policy, and therefore bailouts. And nobody outside China is stupid enough to jump on the deck of this particular Titanic. Nobody inside China is, either, but the government can make them jump on, much like US government did with US financial firms in 2008.
Before we had people vaccines, we social isolated. It will be even more difficult to get deer to follow isolation and masking protocols and to show up to a vaccination clinic.
For 500+ devices i would NEVER use a solution like JAMF and go with something like InTune or better MobileIron (MI). MI just works and is an absolute no brainer.

Apple gives every option possible for managing their devices via a third party software. They don't need to offer such a software themselves. And you really dont wanna deal with the Android clusterfuck in a BYOD enviroment. Android is such a pain in the ass when it comes to MDM. Even if the admin console is better, the amount of complaints and support tickets with Android is so high that we are just not support this anymore.

Education is one of the places where institutionalized racism clearly exists in the US and Western Europe, but not in the way you think. According to Wilfred Reilly for the US: “Black (and Latino) students often receive admissions offers with test scores twenty or thirty percentage points lower than those of white or Asian applicants. At a typical top-50 educational institution, the “affirmative action edge” for minority applicants appears to be in the order of 300 test points.”

“the middle-class white male applicant to any good college or Fortune 500 job does not actually enjoy massive white privilege. Instead, he is at a 250–310 SAT-point competitive disadvantage relative to an identically qualified Black or Hispanic opponent.“

Holy shit, who even asked for this? A bunch of woke adult cry babies who are concerned about hurting people's feelings? Who want to dodge criticism at every turn? Hmmm... what political leaning could they have? I wonder what kind of ideology this favors.... perhaps a certain belief that preaches that one sex is equal to another whilst doing everything they can to harm one of the sides and prevent them from speaking out?

Also if YT really did care about their creators, how about they stop allowing hate raids to occur? People mass dislike and report a video when it hurts their feelings and this is more detrimental to creators since not only does the creator get hit with the same impact as the dislike button, their livelihoods also get threatened.

Literally a bucket of marketing and 0 impact.
Just looking at the title I knew this was about recently released book The Dawn of Everything[1].

> I have often wondered why a tool that sits atop of git doesn’t exist.

Well, some software like SourceTree allows making certain workflows, like Gitflow easier: https://weaintplastic.github.io/web-development-field-guide/... and https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/...

Of course, that workflow is now considered a bit dated at this point and is only good for some projects, as a way to manage their complexities.

Now, my memory might be failing me, but i actually recall GitKraken having a lot of nice functionality, like being able to get rid of bad branch merges with ctrl+z, much like one would undo a bad text edit in other software, which seemed really intuitive and functional: https://www.gitkraken.com/

Personally i'm only aware of such small, yet nice improvements in the GUI space, like how GitHub Desktop also attempted simplifying working with Git (within their platform) somewhat: https://desktop.github.com/

I guess that perhaps a larger amount of people who use the Git CLI are okay with it or just tolerate it, rather than the ones in the Git UI app space, where new apps pop up every now and then?
This isn't a joke; I had actually scheduled a lunch with Lowtax for this Saturday. Despite a (let's call it) checkered past, I was extremely excited to meet him, since he's been a huge influence to my sense of humor and Something Awful was really important to me as a teenager.

-------

I had found him on LinkedIn a few weeks ago, and simply sent a message explaining that I'm a fan, would love a chance to buy him lunch and chat about Something Awful and Gaming Garbage. To my surprise, he responded back with "sure, I'd be up for it".

I responded back with "How does early December sound to you? something on the order of December 11?"

His response was "shit I dont even know if I'll still be alive then". This response was a little weird, but this isn't exactly "off brand" humor for Lowtax, so I ignored it.

I then say something to the effect of "how about something along the lines of November 13?", which he said was better. He then said "and you have my permission to stab me". Again, not off brand for Lowtax.

I bought a plane ticket to Kansas City, was ready to fly out this friday. But I had this deep feeling in my stomach that what he was saying wasn't just a joke. It's pretty well documented that he's been depressed, and I dunno, upon re-reading his messages a hundred times I got a dark feeling that these might be kind of bad omens. What exactly do I do with this? I discussed it with my wife and a friend, who weren't sure what the best solution was, and I ultimately decided not to say anything. I figured I'm just some dork who stalked him on LinkedIn, and I was afraid that if I said anything he would think I'm weird and cancel our lunch date.

And now this shit happened. He finally did it, and now the thought keeps playing in my brain of "what if I had said something a few weeks ago?" I know I don't owe him anything, but I can't help but have this repeated feeling of "I valued an opportunity to meet my man-crush more than I valued someone showing suicidal tendencies," and it makes me feel downright rotten. That's not the kind of person I want to be, and it makes me feel legitimately sick that that's how my brain decided to work.

At some logical level I know none of this is my fault really; realistically even if I had said something, I doubt much would have changed, and I doubt I had enough there to get him committed or anything, but there's a difference between logically knowing something and feeling something.

As it stands, I think there's a reasonably good chance that I will feel partly responsible for this for the rest of my life. This sucks.

RIP Rich. I know you had a rough last couple years, you were the definition of a "complicated person", and despite everything you will be missed.
