Given the authors biography and work in the VC / startup ecosystem, isn't "not belonging" just... normal? There's probably one blog post per denizen of San Francisco and surroundings on the internet by now about how different they are.

Eccentricity is basically performative at this point, I've seen a lot of people just trying to be edgy to get attention in the sector.

What evidence? It would be impossible to quantify this, but I'd love to see the data that makes this assertion. I'm arguing that anything less than 8 hours a week means you're not playing enough or you don't enjoy gaming as much as others might.
It doesn't have to support old threads. From what I've seen discussion usually dies down after a few days, if that, probably because of a lack of such a system. But even if it could be enabled for submissions no older than a week, it would be a great usability improvement over the current manual way of checking for new replies, or these external notification systems.
Lambda is telling people that they can make them professional programmers, so the onus is on Lambda to do that to get paid. The grad is obviously going to try to get a job, but if it's demoralizingly difficult to do so, Lambda hasn't done its job.

These stipulations are a scam.

Well they are concrete and not so much, for instance e being it's own derivative only started to make sense to me when I got the 'abtract algebraic' (fix point, neutral element, self similarity) thinking. Otherwise it was a fuzzy if not empty property.
You could do what I do and run your own router on PC hardware and get a separate DSL modem. There aren't a lot to choose from, but you should be able to find one at least.
Traditional wisdom says that you shouldn't use `instanceof`, because downcasting is bad and you should work with an interface uniformly implemented by any particular subclass. The Visitor pattern accomplishes this by giving the shared supertype a `match` method accepting, effectively, a bunch of callbacks, and each subclass just chooses which callback to invoke.

In algebraic type notation, this pattern replaces a function returning a sum type, X -> A + B + C, with a function accepting a callback that accepts a sum type, `X -> (A + B + C -> Y) -> Y`. But function accepting a sum type is the same as a product of functions, so you have `X -> (A -> Y, B -> Y, C -> Y) -> Y`. The product of functions is the visitor, and `X` is the thing you're visiting.

Traditional wisdom is correct when you have an open family of subclasses (i.e. you don't know, and shouldn't know, precisely how many subclasses there are). But for a closed family, it's just unnecessary; you're blinding yourself from information you already possessed.
Randall Munroe has a strip about how all the math most people need is how to fairly split a bill for a birthday dinner (so that the guest of honor doesn't pay).

I sometimes wonder if we'd be better off telling teenagers that the motivation they need to learn math is self-preservation. There are always people who are going to try to trick you with bad math (from misleading cost/benefit analysis, to financial malfeasance, to bad faith public policy debates) and if you know some math they can't do that to you.

The "you give Timmy five apples" shtick is almost anathema to that. You've practically built a narrative for the kid to get distracted from the point of the exercise. I don't like Timmy, or I don't know who the hell Timmy is. I'm not giving him five of my apples. Timmy can go fuck himself. Get your own damn apples.

Better: you put twenty skittles into a cup. You drop the cup, and there are only 5 skittles left in the cup. How many are on the floor/how many do you need to replace the lost ones?
I think even if you were fired, you'd have dodged not a bullet but a cannonball there.

We should really be spending more effort on making IPv6 ubiquitous and less effort on making it easier or cheaper to keep using IPv4.
It’s probably better to say 3 hours to learn enough to start coding a project.

If you already know JS I really think you could learn 80% of TypeScript in three hours. But the last 20% would take a long time: generics, union types, that sort of stuff.
Hmm, not sure I agree. In the case of OS threads, the kernel will preempt a misbehaving thread and give the CPU to another thread according to priority. In the case where a virtual thread enters an infinite loop however there is no way for the virtual thread scheduler to do the same, unless kernel interruptions of the stuck host OS thread somehow return control to the virtual thread scheduler instead of whatever code was executing when the host thread was preempted. It's not clear to me this is really feasible though.

Everyone remembers the smartass tests in school with the directions that say to sign your name and then hand in the test... Or some other form of smartassery where you must pick the MOST correct answer which has some stupid theoretical technicality that somehow invalidates all other answers as 100% wrong no partial credit.

I remember endless multiple choice tests where the correct answer was "All of the above" but it was located below "None of the above"

Or the first answer would be "All of the above," but as item[0], it has nothing above to select.

Or "None of the above," which is always correct by default if it's the first item in the list.

I was never allowed to argue these were correct when it applied to me, though.

This is what I've always thought the reason was as well. The JS ecosystem (at least since NPM has been around) has been about giving you the ability to not have to pull in a bloated, unfocused library. The complaints people have of libraries like that aren't even exclusive to the web. People working with C++ have long taken issue with massive dependencies. If the library is shipped as a DLL, then you end up bringing along all the code inside whether you use it or not.

But methods of removing unused code do a lot to take care of the problems that people have with larger libraries. In C++, header-only libraries help with the deployment size since it will only compile in what you're using. In Javascript, tree shaking will have the same effect.

It seems that if the Javascript ecosystem isn't moving towards larger libraries, it probably should. It would be much nicer to have one large library from a trusted source instead of a thousand small ones from who knows who.
I don't have a research article, but yeah, I see problem gaming as being a similar problem as alcoholism.

To "wind down" is ok, IE in small amounts. But when it overwhelms and becomes a "drive to escape reality" it is an issue.

But often(not always), both are being used to escape some OTHER issue. And maybe if that issue was worked on life would truly be better.
> One thing I say to people using "it's" is that by analogy, you also need to say: "He got he's skills. She missed she's ride. They have they's meeting."

This is a great distillation of the intuition I've always had, but never quite verbalized.
Quantum non-determinism isnt computable. A universal turing machine is just an implementation of a function from the Naturals to Naturals (ie., expressible as a binary -> binary).

QM systems cannot be described by such functions, hence the world isnt a computer. Eg., any quantum randomness isnt a function as it has no input state and a non-determinstic output state.

Worse, clearly at least the input and output states of a computer should be measurable -- but most systems arent. Even including classical ones.

Ie., in chaotic systems it isn't possible, due to QM, to measure x st. f in y = f(x, t) is just a set (x, y, t) -- for large t. f here cannot be a function -- as y is necessarily a distribution of states.

In abitary chaotic systems y spans the space of all possible states of abitary t, and thus we have zero ability to predict anything beyond relatively narrow time-horizons.

If you wish to claim reality is a computer: (1) state the properties of a computer; (2) show that having these properties is non-trivial (ie., it is a substantive claim that something is a computer); and (3) show that these properties are at least consistent with our best theories of physics.

Maybe the stronger argument is that it's not in the best interest of the community for a member to go bankrupt, even if it's what that one member believes is in their own best interest. Maybe bankrupt is not the best example, because bankruptcy law actually is a social safety net to help people not get indebted for life, or even pass on all that debt to future generations.

That being said, I think the individual vs communal risk decision and regulation is complex and really depends on the situation.
The terrible reporting assessment is very accurate. Castanet got lucky and capitalized on a strong desire for local content and also the fact that big players did traditionally ignore the Kelowna media market. Kelowna only really became a bigger city after the Coquihalla Highway was built in 86 to 88 (in stages and Kelowna was last link) and the attitude towards it from outside media took a long time to catch up.

> The reason packages are so big is the complexity for an interesting app is irreducible

These kinds of claims demand data, not just bare assertions of their truthiness.

Firefox, as an app with an Electron-style architecture (before Electron even existed), was doing some pretty interesting stuff circa 2011 (including stuff that it can't do now, like give you a menu item and a toolbar button that takes you to a page's RSS feed), with a bunch of its application logic embodied in something like well under <250k LOC of JS.

The last time I measured it, a Hello World created by following create-react-app's README required about half a _gigabyte_ of disk space between just before the first `npm install` and "done".

That NPM programmers don't know _how_ to write code without the kind of complexity that we see today is one matter. The claim that the complexity is irreducible is an entirely different matter.
My experience working on tens of front end projects is the complete opposite. Nobody is adding dependencies just for the fun of it, or because you might need it in a year. You add a dependency because you need some functionality and there is no time/budget to re-do it in house - not to mention that if it's a well-supported library with, for example, hundreds of thousands of users, it's unlikely you could even make it better.
It also gave you plausible deniability which would have stood up in any court.
You’re just not looking properly.

> that's developed by a vast community of individuals instead of relying on 1 individual

Being FOSS or licensed doesn't dictate the number of developers so isn't a rebuttal against licensing.

> (who might disappear at a moment's notice)

Nor does it change the ability of people to disappear

> for every single update and bug fix.

Nor are you unable to get a license which allows you source access or rights should they disappear. Most really don't mind clauses about things after their disappearance.

The only thing you seem to be against in your rebuttal is that a license fee be paid. Otherwise you're just wishing for active and vibrant development so far, regardless of licensing.

> I didn't say anything derogatory about it if you re-read it

he says in response to a comment clearly outlining why it reads as derogatory regardless of author intention, ignoring those points to instead imply I am the problem.

> The article is important but its impact is watered down by people making ‘cancer-causing’ a daily warning. That was the point.

You can't really tell me that was the point - where do you suggest the article is important in your initial comment? Answer with a quotation please.

To me, and any reasonable reader, the point was that you hate California, and everything else was just a weak justification to make that comment on this article.
At least you got emailed the file. I frequently had it start with someone telling me "that's in the (XYZ) doc". And now I don't even have a starting point (even XYZ is an organizational descriptor, and in no way part of the title or contents of the doc).
The Devs producer met with the Google team in Santa Barbara (which works on very similar superconducting qubits), so it should look very close!

That said the whole hovering in free space thing was perhaps a bit over the top in the show.

I wouldn't compare Australia to the US, the cultural pressure on white people there is another level. Even the definition of what is "white" is different in America to Australia. Australia doesn't have two very dominant groups, blacks and hispanics competing for hegemony. Maybe some Asians but they are more isolated in their private life and integrated in the professional life, exactly like in the US, so there is no pressure from them.

You are a bit delusional if you think white people considered to be the ones holding global power these days where China hold the world in the balls and Australian kids listen to K-pop and watch anime more than local Australian music and TV shows.
Don't negotiate if you have another offer. Just move. Having them suddenly realize they had money after all will build resentment.

There are definitely people who escape into video games to avoid dealing with problems in the real world.

Perhaps this is a good thing in the short term (your experience definitely seems to suggest this!), but anecdotally many of the long-term, heavy games-players I know (mid-20s) seem to be taking on less responsibility, investing less into themselves, their future and the people around them, and failing to live up to their potential in a noticeable way.

Very similar to weed smokers, thinking about it.
People oftentimes do this, with suspicious reasoning. Classic examples:

1) "We have is-array as a dependency" Why? Well, pre Array.isArray, there wasn't anything built-in. Why not just write a little utility function which does what is-array does? See #3

2) "We have both joi and io-ts. Don't they do roughly the same thing?" They do; io object validation. New code uses io-ts, but a bunch of old code relies on joi. Should we update it? Eh we'll get around to it (we never do).

3) "is-array is ten lines of code. why don't we just copy-paste it?" Multiple arguments against this, most bad. Maybe the license doesn't support it. More usually; fear that something will change and you'll have to maintain the code you've pasted without the skills to do so. Better to outsource it (then, naturally, discount the cost of outsourcing).

4) "JSON.parse is built-in, but we want to use YAML for this". So, you use YAML. And need a dependency. Just use JSON! This is all-over, not just in serialization, but in UI especially; the cost analysis between building some UI component (reasonably understood cost) versus finding a library for it (poorly understood cost, always underestimated).

Not all dependency usage is irreducible. Most is. But some of it is born, fundamentally, out of a cost discount on dependency maintenance and a corporate deprioritization of security (in action; usually not in words).

There don’t seem to be shortages in Vancouver or surrounding areas from what I’m hearing. However, I’m in Chilliwack house sitting while my family is away. There absolutely are shortages here.

Three gas stations are out of gas (this was before noon) people are driving down with jerry cans to fill up extra fuel, stores are all bare because people ran to the stores to stock up on food, there was a line to get in the grocery stores. While inside some people were pushing two carts full of groceries to the checkout.

The roads going West are flooded out and the roads to the East are flooded out. There is definitely shortages here because Vancouver has the regional warehouses. There is no resupplies that can come into Chilliwack, and there hasn’t been an announcement on when the roads will clear.

Some areas are told to shelter in place and others are told to evacuate.
Agreed, felt I was dropped into a big-oil exposé and then it made a left turn and stopped.

Reverse osmosis water solves a lot of problems. Household RO systems are pretty wasteful, though; the pressure across the membrane is just the household water pressure, so the ratio of waste:purified is around 3:1. Fancier RO systems with pumps achieve higher pressure, and thus more favorable waste ratio. Those professional systems are way too big for me, but perhaps I could build something.

I believe that professionally, RO isn't used to solve excess calcium, carbonate, sulfate, etc., since it's cheaper just to neutralize the carbonate with acid and adjust the fertilizer salts appropriately. RO is used to solve excess sodium, chloride, etc., since the source water is already above the final desired concentrations.

I'm running a single nutrient profile for all my plants, regardless of life stage--I can scale all the element concentrations together, but I can't adjust the ratios. My yields would be better if I adjusted as you say, though. At some point I should add a third fertilizer part and dosing pump.
