True, although this friend is asian american and likely grew up eating scallion pancakes on at least a few occasions. He seemed almost proud of his lack of taste which really surprised me.
I certainly appreciate and enjoy your points here. But given that you are not out eating a gourmet meal while galloping a horse toward your ski chalet, it seems that you and the postmodern crowd both value highly the creation of a shared narrative about what's important and what's going on. A narrative specifically shaped toward political ends. So in the end I don't see you as much different.
Fair points, ty for the rebuttal
Thanks for sharing a small writeup of a neat thing you did! I think maybe the parent comment missed the context, which is that you wanted to add an email signup to an otherwise static site.

In that context, setting up a VPS would now mean that you have to be responsible for a new pet, including security updates and monitoring. You would also have to change your deployment tooling / workflow to something quite different (pushing and restarting a running service, rather than just running aws s3 sync ...)

Of course I don't think I would take this approach if I already had a backend service hosting a site, but I certainly would experiment with it if I were in your situation.
This just shows that EV fast charge stations are price gouging to some extent. Charging at home is almost always half price or less unless you live somewhere like Hawaii with crazy expensive electricity.

You misunderstood me. I love lua and I wasn't being dismissive of it, I was using the first example that came to my mind to counter the claim that a convenient language has to be messy. Just because that was the example used doens't mean there is an implicit "and that's the only thing it's good for" clause I'm implying there: if someone said "Python is used by scientists utterly uninterested in programming to express numerical algorithms" would you understand that to be a dismissive remark against Python ?

Being used by non-programmers utterly uninterested in programming to solve problems is the highest honor any programming language can ever attain, because it means that the language is well-suited to the domain enough (or flexible enough to be made so) that describing problems in it is no different than writing thoughts or design documents in natural language. This is the single most flattering thing you can ever say about a language, not a dismissive remark.

Arguing that our current lifestyle is not what evolution optimized for is not a fallacy. There is no "ought" or "good" in the original quote.

Many of the modern differences in environment from earlier humans would be considered "good" by most people. Extra salt is probably "bad" in most cases, but it is definitely different.
the "data" comes in the form of a before and after perf-test:

Dang sorry to hear about it, I sliced off a piece of my left pointer finger a couple years ago and it sucked (it’s healed and the only issue I had was my finger print changed so I had to re-register it with my phone). Missing a part of your thumb is probably worse in these smartphone times.
Yes, that's my whole point.

Where in the stack do you see that Python performances matter?

Only one software out of a 1000 will actually need it. The others will mostly do plumbing or automation.

And scripting languages excel at both.

If you don't fall in that category, then yes, do use a fast language. If you are coding a chat server, use Erlang. If you want to do a rendering engine, use Rust. But if you most likely want to code your company CRUD software and glue it to some external services and providers, use Python.
The problem is the premise. I don't think any of this is/will be "web 3.0" presenting it as such feels more like trying to establish the narrative that these technologies somehow represent the future to further the ponzi schemes build on them.

For division you really should put the requirement for the non-zero check in the type of the divisor instead of propagating failure to the caller e.g.

Exceptions at least have the benefit of retaining the location the context for the error occurred which gets lost without extra bookeeping when using optionals.

I’ve had a chance to eat a few great persian tahdigs and korean dolsot bibimbop bowls and really enjoyed the nutty rice flavors from
scorching it. But I’ve always found it interesting that Indian cuisine alone amongst asian cultures (afaik) still does not consider scorched rice a delicacy. The most favored portions of biryanis and pulaos are still the fluffy parts.

I wonder why some cultures developed this and some actively didn’t?
I wonder how easy that would be to reason about though. I really don't know much about modern DRAM circuitry I feel like it might be abstracted away to some level, also there are bios-tweaky settings that might make a difference (i.e. things like channel configuration and/or bank interleaving, if that's still a thing.)

IDK though. Maybe there's a way. I've worked on code that uses padding around a data structure to ensure it has it's own cache line. Maybe if you allocate a large enough contiguous block you'll be OK?
That twitter thread offers no insight into why the problems occurred in the first place. Something which the original article does attempt to do.

I can't recall the exact quote, but I read something a while back that said that hate is essentially a response to something you love being harmed, so great hate still requires great love.

Picasso's Guernica is the poster child for art made from hate, in this case against the Spanish Civil War. But it's equally a painting centered on love for the victims of the war. After all, it's mostly a painting of those victims.

I don't think much good of anything can come from a position of indifference.

"the idle" are almost universally those at the top of the wealth chain, doing nothing whatsoever and living handsomely off of rent, their ancestor's wealth and so on.

This myth of the idle poor has to die. Poor people are overwhelmingly working, and the vast majority are working much harder than the upper middle class, and almost universally harder than the 0.01%.

Unfortunately, most poor people made the mistake to work on crucial jobs such as nursing, teaching small kids, cleaning up, maintaining infrastructure, building buildings and so on. All jobs that are not deemed inprotant enough to deserve a living wage.

I'm not sure what you mean by the universality of math. There exist different algebras which define addition differently.

In the case of 2+2=4, this is formalized by the Peano axioms [1], which define addition of natural numbers. However, in tropical geometry [2], addition returns the minimum of the numbers, not their sum.

The author of the original tweet makes this point, and I strongly agree with it: https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/12889571678449623...

As for 2.4 + 2.4 = 5, I think the tweet author is being a bit sloppy there in his explanation. But consider 0.1 + 0.2. Ask a human, and they'll tell you it's 0.3. Ask a computer, and it'll likely tell you it's 0.30000000000000004. The point is that in both scenarios, 0.1, 0.2, and addition are defined differently.

Right. I don't know if this changed significantly with 6, but my experience from previous versions have been that as soon as you start adding things like caches, authentication middleware that interacts with certain other components, or rewrite requests or responses in other ways it soon becomes a goose chase across the web and incomplete documentation.

This is what comes to mind to me from GP's mention of crazy abstraction mazes.

They say "prerelease" Safari because it's the version they're marketing, but they test it before they officially release it so the marketing materials are ready. That version of Safari would've been current at publication time.
> our current lifestyle is not what evolution optimized for

It's not. But neither is a senior person living healthily and happily into their late years something evolution considered. We're trying our biology in ways evolution doesn't care for, aiming for goals it never considered.

Rhetorically, I can construct arguments for (coastal communities being historically healthy and consuming more salt) and against (ancient civilizations were chronically salt starved) modern salt consumption with this form of argument. There are too many degrees of freedom amidst sparse evidence in a diverse, heterogenous archaeological record.

> modern differences in environment from earlier humans would be considered "good" by most people

Those people tend to consider the nutrient-rich versions of plants we've bred for millennia while disregarding the toxins, pathogens and general wear-and-tear a Paleolithic human would have been subjected to.
Parenting is one of the most emotional topics that exists, which means it's flammable material in internet discussions. If you lead by comparing parental leave to "hangover leave", that's already a provocation, and if you throw in more provocative words like "indulging" and "hobby", at that point you're posting flamebait. You're going to get flamewar responses, not a reasonable conversation, and that's against the site guidelines.

If you really want to have a reasonable conversation about a divisive, inflammatory topic, you need to sand off all such sharp edges. That's not a moral or ethical point, just an empirical observation about internet dynamics, which are relatively predictable.
For some of us this is just the most recent event in a long series.

Is it necessarily an evil ploy this time? I say no. Should I cut them some slack? Again, I say no. When they are big enough to hurt others badly by being careless, then they should be taken to task just for being careless.

As someone said Google had mountains of goodwill until recently. When they have worked so long and so hard to make us dislike them I think they deserve to reap the rewards ;-)

Also, as someone else mentioned, there is the pattern of announcing something misleading on stage and then retracting it on a private blog later, just like big media tend to do.

Protips for finding the best chocolate in any area:

- Look for "chocolate" shops, NOT "chocolates" shops! The latter tends to be confections / pastries, the former, bars

- Look for places with 90%+ bars (ideally a 100%). You might not like something that dark, but, it means that the source beans are good enough to stand on their own

- Slightly avoid places that put flavored bars (adding anything other than the core ingredients) front-and-center. They definitely can have amazing chocolate, and usually do have amazing flavors, but it does mean that they're not ALL about the cacao. (Don't even bother with "pressed" flavors; if it's not mixed in, it's gonna be mediocre).

- Look for bars that don't use soy lecithin.

The end user is not the consumer segment that cares about this. As evidenced by many comments in this thread, most Apple users value the curated app store and its payment features. App developers just enabled Apple to get away with it.

The market segment that would have to resist would be the app developers themselves, but no individual app is attractive enough to do that. Even Microsoft attempted to keep Office products off iOS for quite some time. The cat is out of the bag at this point. Ironically, it seems as long as Google/Android still commands a significant market share, it's unlikely to be viewed by the courts as a monopoly. That just means Google will try harder to become like Apple, but they're going to have an even harder time back-tracking the path they've gone down.

The thing about Apple is not only have they prevented in-app payment processing, they have also prevented side-loading. This combination makes the App store so powerful. Probably some of the reason why they don't support PWAs well etc...

From the Epic decision it sounds like the courts may be inclined to allow 3rd party in-app payment processing as long as Apple still gets a cut. It's debatable which would be "worse" for end-users -- allowing them to side-load or allowing 3rd party in-app payment processing. It's probably less debatable about which one Apple prefers.

From the developer side of things, if 3rd party in-app payments are allowed and Apple still gets a cut what was gained? If Apple is forced to allow side-loading, you better believe they're going to make enabling that feature seem as scary and obscure as possible to the end-user.

In 2012, 51 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) reported that they used at least one welfare program during the year, compared to 30 percent of native households. Welfare in this study includes Medicaid and cash, food, and housing programs.

https://cis.org/Report/Welfare-Use-Immigrant-and-Native-Hous...

The average household headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) costs taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare benefits, which is 41 percent higher than the $4,431 received by the average native household.

The thing that isn’t talked about is that a significant portion of the population simply isn’t intelligent enough for a decent paying job. Men of that type can usually go in to a field where they trade their long term health for more pay, but women that’s harder. Either way there’s a good chance you’ll be on disability by the time you’re 50.

I agree that a lot of people make really poor financial decisions, but don’t think everyone has the same earning potential as you.
It only assumes production skill is correlated it doesn’t require a perfect correspondence. I’d argue it is hard to have a meaningful concept of production skill that is either independent of or anticorrelated to taste. Yes production skill alone does not make the piece of art. But if it contributes in any way shape or form that’s enough to establish there is such thing as taste.
Sony sells decks and recorders for their high-capacity "Professional Disc" that can hold up to 128GB per disk. And then there is their cartridge to compete with LTO, the ODA Gen 3 that holds, IIRC, 11 discs with a total of 5.5 TB per cartridge. A bit less than LTO-7 (and half as much as LTO-8), but I don't think LTO tapes can survive being boiled in water.

Indeed. Why competitors are excluded is addressed in the article.
But you still need data exchange between parallel/concurrent workloads. The security focus will shift to the data nodes which exchange data between the CPUs. And then the focus will probably shift towards latency and performance and moving these data modules closer to each other.. kinda like RAM :P

I think your frame of reference may be a bit warped. What is an 'average' salary?

The median personal income in 2019 was $35,805 (cf. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N). I think you'd be hard pressed to live on that with a family of 3+ people.

And what about the 50% of people who have a personal income less than the median?
