Their motivation is to obviously control the public narrative. That's hard to do when facts contradicting the narrative spread. So you call the dissent misinformation, you pump propaganda which crates distrust of non mainstream media. You also create such articles calling for even more control of the discourse.

The true misinformation is miss-information: the information mainstream media intentionally misses.
How is that different from other formats? Take JSON:

{"python_versions": [3.8, 3.9, 3.10]}

This is a problem in any config language that doesn't enforce types, and jf it does enforce types, you should've used quotes already (like you really should've been before 3.10 was added to the list).

Similar problems also exist in many config formats with scientific notation (2e345) or hexadecimal notation (0x12345) or octal notation (012345, no that's not a decimal number in many programming languages and config formats!).

What commonly supported alternative would you suggest for this use case?

The article makes you believe that the 11% benefit from using masks in the Bangladesh study was for the whole population (100%) using the mask (experimental group) vs the control group (0%) not using masks. However, the 11% benefit for an experimental group of only 42% of the them using masks vs 13% using masks in the control group. There was only a 29% point difference between groups (not 100%). And compliance was not 100% perfect (as usual).

Assuming that the study was correctly performed, maybe 100% usage difference between groups (all using masks in experimental groups vs nobody using them in control group) could have shown a much higher benefit. But that remains to be tested.

This article is, as an expert in the topic of agnotololy explains, an effort to "…spread doubt in the guise of balanced debate".

How? Why? Efficiency?

My company does complex cloud and on-prem web-based apps, JS front and back.

These inefficient frameworks make our developers more productive and allow us to design, deliver, and fix fast. Storage is cheaper, bandwidth is cheaper, processing cycles are cheaper, all are cheaper than developer time.

And these powerful frameworks give us great speed in iterating new features, which makes our customers happy.

The article is too focused on efficient use of computing resources at the expense of ignoring developer costs and customer satisfaction.
If you look at a map of all airline flights there are many thousands of short-range flights. Replacing them all with trains would be interesting. Just the right-of-way property transactions would be daunting. Look at California as a lesson in how this can't be easily done.

The other thing is, people move around. Airlines can change flights easily to map to demographic changes; that's a major strength of air travel. Not as easy to rip up tracks and start over.
The author is correct but not for that farcical reason. Here's some real ones. It encourages the following:

A URL that is now less Universal than ever, pointing to an application more than a piece of content

Content that is not self contained in a single document so it is hard to archive for the future

Content that is not served with the page nor containing a universal reference so it is hard to scrape and catalog

A profound inability to inspect websites because they are now transpiled via frameworks and emit something obtuse and only machine, not human readable

Content that is now in a non-generalized method of access so instrumenting it to fit it for different purposes (the "Free" part of "information is meant to be free") is now fragile and dubious

And more controversial:

The careful separation of concerns of the Javascript (Controller), HTML (Model), and CSS (View) gets tossed together and entangled in a single stream of hybrid languages where they no longer are separated. Instead people rely on less rigorously made tools to achieve the same ends with increased difficulty, less reliability, and less functionality - all cost and no benefit.
WaPo/NYT write articles that please their paying subscribers and uphold their confirmation biases.

So nobody who matters cares about these failings.

It's mainly window dressing, it's really is like most tech hubs: a police state protecting the wealthy elite. It's a literal fiefdom, and no surprise most of the the real-estate is owned by one firm (TEBO).

Being on Pearl Street past midnight pre-pandemic, or any time afterward with the amount of homelessness made it seem so much like the Bay Area!

I realized whatever Boulder offered me for 6 years was going to have to be enough, because it's hard to see how things aren't getting worse.

Also, I'm sure that vacant Walmart on 28th and Iris next to the 24 hour fitness, where the lights were still on until 2019, could have sold their building as they were effectively run out of town for being not being in 'Boulder's image' a few years back.

Honestly, Boulder was fun from 2015-2018 if you were in the fintech scene but things degraded fast after that and it's MegaCorp face became all to obvious to justify living there any longer. I'm just glad I got to live the experience and live to tell the story--I used to go to the King Soopers when I visited my friends in Table Mesa where the shooting happened.

Since (at least in the Glock's case) the polymer frame is the federally defined and controlled 'weapon' and everything else (barrel/slide/trigger-assy/etc) simple accessories that anyone can own, it would seem we're already there. I presume Glock shape files are already out in the wild.

I think the important difference between NestedText and YAML is that NestedText does not try to convert the text to numbers or booleans. YAML converts on to True and 3.10 to 3.1, which in this case is undesired. NestedText keeps text as strings. The idea is that end application should be the one that determines if on is a string or a boolean and whether 3.10 is a string or a number.

Its all in the name. All leaf values are strings. It is literally nested text.
Developer time == money.

There is always a time vs end user experience tradeoff, even with physical goods. I think it's part of a bigger trend towards (more prolific) crappy stuff generally.

I do think there is space for tools that improve the user experience whilst not regressing on easy of development.

That's primarily because of third party advertising and marketing / analytics scripts though. I really doubt the core client-side rendering of a page (which isn't even common for up-to-date implementations), and the bundled js required for that to take place, is what's sinking your battery.

It's also hard to picture a news website where the webpack chunks are going to be a noticeable fraction of the total page load expense, when images are factored in.

For example, on CNN's homepage, of the 10MB of data and 200 requests my browser did, around 1MB of it was actual core JS served from a CNN domain, and even less of it looked to have ever gone near a package manager.
USB-C has a mode called Audio Adapter Accessory Mode. In this D+ and D- become right and left analog audio output, respectively, and SBU1 becomes analog microphone input.

Here's a reference design from TI showing how one might implement it on a device where you want to be able to switch between using your USB-C connector for data devices and for analog audio devices [1].

Which is why it’s in their interest to develop economically as fast as possible so they can be best prepared for the future. The Netherlands handled a similar degree of their land being underwater using 19th century technology.

But there is zero appetite for curbing growth. Bangladesh is a miracle of capitalism. When my dad was a kid 1 out of 3 children died by age 5. Now it’s 1 out of 40 and the life expectancy is 72 years. (Closing in on white Americans.) Nobody wants to change course on that.
It's been bleak for a while, but I think we are coming round the bend.

For example Next does a pretty good job of code splitting and offers rendering solutions from 100% client side to 100% static, as in no React runtime at all. Building a performant Next site that only pulls in the JS it needs is quite doable now.

React server side components seem at least interesting here. I still have no experience with them but they do at least claim to tackle some of these issues. As I understand it other frameworks like Svelte and Vue have been exploring these ideas too.

I think the bleakness will continue and there will be a long tail of it. But I really do think better websites are coming and in many cases are already here.

Considering there is no regional specific trends and the highest % of jobs are actually in white collar jobs (pro services, healthcare, etc.), I think its fair to assume this data represents the whole of the US...no matter where you live.
Completion ports are a solution to maximize efficiency if you are dealing with thousands of connections. I don't really think unity or any other game has that requirement. It's a client, not a webserver.

They probably picked the select based solution since its decently portable between windows and unix, and good enough for their requirements.

Metadata of the metadata: "aggregated datasets showing how many users a platform has, where accounts are created and when, how information travels, which types of messages and format-types are fastest to spread, which messages are commonly reported, and how (and when) users are booted off."

That information should be safe to share if aggregated over all users.

The Bosch BMS is a little wonder of engineering, the packs less so. It has a 32 bit NXP CPU, a separate battery managing chip, a bunch of FETs, a DC DC convertor and a battery balancer and whole slew of safety measures (both sw and hw) in a 40 x 60 mm board.

It's one of the most, if not the most impressive BMS I've seen for its size. The packs are a different matter, the engineering of the rear carrier ones is mediocre, the frame mounted ones much better and the PowerTubes are much better still, but far less service friendly.

So far I have not found a way to fool the motor/controller into wanting to play ball with anything other than the genuine article on the other side of the CAN bus.

The battery firmware can be upgraded, but you don't really need to, it just woks. The higher range is not recognized (the battery still reports the Ah capacity of the battery type it shipped with), but the %age state-of-charge is accurate and that's enough to ride by without further monitoring (it's displayed separately, and you have to do a little bit of mental arithmetic to work out how many km you can still go).

There is no loss of efficiency, the batteries are at the same voltage as the originals (and that is something that would instantly cause the BMS to brick itself).
No but see my link above, a large plurality of jobs are professional services and healthcare, which if you read any "these jobs pay the highest" article it's usually those two sectors.
Would 80% be ideal? I would imagine Solar would start getting iffy over 50%.

Presumably you want a lot of hydroelectric, wind, and nuclear so you don't need a lot of batteries, and you have enough sources of power when the sun isn't shining.

Maybe I'm being un-imaginative - but is anyone envisioning a global energy grid so we could have solar energy from Australia and Sahara shipped to North America during our night - and back to Asia and Europe from the Southwest during our day??

Map shows Sweden with what looks like the second-lowest rate of new cases in Europe, just after Spain. Of course, it could just be that the newest wave is slower to reach them, but everyone other nation in Scandinavia is quite a bit higher.

It's not just who had the most cases previously, though, because Belgium is very high again. Curious.

People have been talking about this for years and it has always scared me away from crypto. Which is obviously something I regret now. The truth is that this person doesn't offer a shred of evidence as to why this crash will occur in 2022. It could happen in 2023, 2025, 2055. Nobody knows. Maybe it will never happen.

Is Tether a scam? Sure. But you're also getting scammed if you are holding cash. I don't really know what strategy to follow in these uncertain times other than simple gut instinct.
Hydrolox could certainly use all electric production but all of the others require hydrocarbons as their feedstock. Take hydrazine, it's synthesized by oxidizing ammonia and the main feedstock for ammonia production is natural gas and it's synthesis produces CO2 as a byproduct. So we're right back where we started. Why don't we just use hydrogen and oxygen? It's true that storage is a problem since hydrogen must be kept at cryogenic temperatures to remain liquid but a bigger problem is hydrogen's low density. Low density means more volume and that leads to inefficiencies in the size of the rocket. Methane is generally the better option and coincidentally could use captured CO2 as a feedstock.
Maybe it's that why I don't see it or at least it doesn't spring out to me that much.

Because it's like an upscaling effect that also could be an overuse of HD makeup.

I've seen that in contemporary movies or series (or badly configured HD TVs) and it doesn't have a dissociative effect on me seeing it in this movie because I just don't remember how movies from that era shouldn't be looking like that.

React and its ilk doesn't even deliver on those goals. It encourages bad programming, makes terrible software practices easy and separates code so the piles of unmaintainable garbage don't smash into each other too harshly.

It doesn't actually empower anything - it acts as a scolding nanny prohibiting people from making things explode.

It does this by imposing a narrow opinion about things that's constantly changing with each release as it herds the programmer through very specific and alarmingly complicated ways of doing things.

It's fundamentally a tool of oppression, not one of expression and one of coercion and not liberation. I hate it so much.
I think you're romanticizing stunt-people with "some people really love doing crazy shit and making wild art." Most professionals don't want to take risks with their lives, they just do it because they need to get paid.

In the vast majority of stories you hear, the actor/stunt-person dies because the director/coordinator/other staff was negligent.

It's obviously not reasonable to expect for a stunt-person's job to be as safe as office work, but "they are the ones choosing to risk their own lives" is bs.

> Stuntmen and Stuntwomen know what they are signing up for.

_Everyone_ knows what they're signing up for, so the only interpretation I can make here is that you believe there should be no protections for employees.

As a JavaScript developer who has been doing this work since before jQuery became popular I sadly agree. It appears there is an arms race to the bottom, as in how low can we lower the bar of acceptability for prospective employment candidates.

I can remember back in the day at Travelocity they couldn't hire JavaScript developers to save their business. A $100 million business and the darling of the travel industry could not hire competent front end developers at all. Its how I became a developer, involuntary reassignment from designer.

I can also remember Travelocity trying to solve this problem with GWT (Google Web Toolkit). This mistake of an application compiled Java to JavaScript for people who probably should not have been writing either. Its all good so long as the code never needs changes or updates at which point Java developers wanted JavaScript developers to fix their obfuscated code.

How hard could writing this rinky dink language possibly be? Back in those days there were some actual challenges, but they were an inch deep and a mile wide. There were many technical areas to own, but only two separated the grossly incompetent from the barely employable:

* Cross browser compatibility (IE made this more challenging).

* The DOM. Then, just as now, tree models broke the souls of many software developers. I have never figured this out, because elementary schools are able to explain abstract concepts as tree models to children, but many adults cannot and will never understand the idea on even the most primitive level.

jQuery came and saved the day. No more walking tree models. Everything is now a chained method or a CSS selector through a very slow Sizzle engine. Now everybody and their dog could add events and text to a web page so long as they could read the jQuery API.

In hindsight none of this is surprising in the least. The surprising part is the compensation. Back in the day when the work was hard front-end developers were paid next to nothing. You were much better off being a Java developer where you could barely have a pulse and earn 2-3x as much. As the problems got easier and the number of available candidates blossomed the compensation surprisingly went up... slowly.
Climate change is a really big problem. Much bigger than covid. Maybe the first instinct with really big problems is that not enough money has been thrown at it. It looks like there are lots of practical problems as well.
It's not the "low density" that makes someone choose Boulder over Longmont or Broomfield. Longmont and Broomfield already are less dense than Boulder.

Boulderites who cry about 'keeping the low density' are just using that as a thin veneer to mask their classism. That very classism has all but ruined what made Boulder special in the first place, killing off the arts scene.
> I do think there is space for tools that improve the user experience whilst not regressing on easy of development.

Agreed. I feel like I spend 50% of my time on here promoting Svelte which is wildly out of whack with how much I actually use it but to my mind it’s a great example of a tool that prioritises developer experience and user experience without compromise. There is hope.
Welcome to my Friday nightmare. Some update broke dropdowns on IE9 because, apparently plain form select HTML is no longer a viable thing because we can't beautify it.

here is the problem: single family homes have now been financialized--the corporations have invested in them and will want to maintain the increase in home prices...therefore corporations will do what they have always done to increase the value of their assets--they will buy politicians and get the politicians to pass laws to keep home prices up...such as? Ok, such as passing state and federal laws that make home building more expensive, time consuming and costly...more strict environmental regulations are the most likely tool to be used by the corporations & politicians to suppress the supply of new homes...

No it isn't. That is the point. If you have one line indented with 4 spaces and one line indented with a tab there is no correct answer what the difference of indent is. The only good option is to raise an error.
> The battle in an organization is convincing people to look at flow at all.

I guess that's the point... an organization needs enough people to know about queue theory "to look at flow" and understand that queues are ubiquitous and anticipate that these queues experience a latency phase change at some point depending on utilization (and job duration variance). If an organization doesn't have anyone who understands queue theory, then it's probably more likely to have queue-related failures.
That's a bit of a apples-to-oranges comparison. The description on the blog says the `select` call runs on a thread which is mainly responsible for checking for IO readiness. They use the information somewhere else to perform IO. Probably on a threadpool.
