>our labor participation rate is nearly recovered as well.

I don't think this is true. Labor participation dropped a couple percent, made up about half the loss, then has been about the same since June 2020

Jan 2020 83%

June 2020 81.5%

OCT 2021 81.7%

In R, every function argument may be 1) ignored, 2) accessed as an AST, 3) passed to another function, or 4) accessed as a value, or some combination thereof. Note that 1, 2, and 3 don’t result in the expression being evaluated, as function arguments are lazy in R. There’s no way to look at only a function’s signature and determine whether a given argument is going to be evaluated never, once, or multiple times, or conditionally (though the vast majority of the time it’s “once”).

On the plus side it does allow for some extremely elegant libraries to be written.
A very good test of a multi-item interface is to imagine it with exactly TWO items and see if it makes perfect sense that way. Or if it’s a toggle button, look at a single button and see if you know its state.

Now in this context, imagine the inactive item is invisible and clickable, and the active item looks like a button (that is traditionally clickable) but is not clickable. Imagine furthermore that you still have freaking buttons elsewhere in the same UI that look the same as the unclickable thing but are clickable, well, you have a problem. Now imagine the even bigger problem of reusing the exact same style for things like text fields that have an entirely different function.

This isn’t just Firefox, a lot of this is what Safari tried to pull, too. Or the entire concept of flat UIs.

I really, really want to respect the field of UI design and imagine that this stuff is hard, etc. but frankly some of this stuff is really not that hard to get right. There needs to be discipline, some science, some user testing, and someone with enough power to shoot down the truly dumb decisions, for a start.

And barring all that, I want a config file (or back in the day, ResEdit) where I can undo all the madness.
I think the ire comes from the lack of general stability as a concept among internet sites and apps, as even a desirable concern. If Mozilla isn't saying "ha ha tabs are buttons now!", Google is scrambling the colors and/or button locations and/or icon designs on Android, or whoops, a browser addon you like has updated and it's only compatible with the nightly build so you're going to be waiting a while to have that to use again, or the internet connection is spotty because Comcast is shit and you're a nobody.

The lack of stability in everybody's technology and online experience is a problem. Move fast and break things, who cares how it affects the users!
The part that is most interesting:

About half of the transportation dollars in the bill are dedicated to Amtrak and urban transit, modes of transportation that carry less than 1 percent of passenger travel and no freight. While the other half appears to be dedicated to highways, much of that will be spent on projects that will reduce, not maintain or increase, roadway capacities.

that's true -- but given that not all desktop environments respect the idea of *.desktop , and not all distributions use /.local/share, so , pedantically, the parent that suggests 'taskset -c 0-4 ZoomLauncher' suggests a tip that will work on just about every linux distribution, however the git snippet that was linked as the parent of this thread will only work on a handful of distribution/desktop-environment combinations.

tl;dr : parent to your comment suggests a more generalized 'for linux' solution that doesn't depend on specific flavor nuances and desktop environs.

It's really hard for me to take this author seriously after his "Willingness to look stupid" post that went viral here about a month ago. The entire post was ridden with a superiority complex about how he's willing to look stupid, but never willing to explain his actions that make him look stupid. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28946490
People don't base this opinion on a single article but on the coverage of the situation holistically as it evolves. Most of the 'bombshell' revelations in this trial have been available on the internet since the week of the shooting. The number of videos and images that show that it wasn't until Grosskreutz pointed his gun at Rittenhouse and advanced on him aiming at his head that he was shot is overwhelming and yet it seemed to catch the prosecutors and journalists completely by surprise.

If you watch the videos of the event in sequence you realise that this is one of the most blatant and well documented cases of self-defence in history, yet people who have only consumed media coverage of the shooting have been surprised by the difficulty that the prosecution have had proving it was murder. Clearly there is something broken in the transmission of information there.
Among numerous other relevant differences, Biden has been president for longer than Trump was while COVID-19 was actually at meaningful levels in the US, so it's disingenuous to compare total death counts.
No. It only works if you're so familiar with the previous UI than your pattern recognition kicks in. Someone who sees this for the first time will have no idea what it means. It's inaccessible to the novice.

Also, tabs without a favicon don't start with an icon at all.

There's definitely a war, but it's mostly a war of attrition at this point. You're with one or the other, though the recent release of GNOME 40 has come with a lot more literature than previous releases, for better or worse. The GNOME team has been pushing for more dramatic breaking changes this time around, and it's gotten to the point where I, as a developer, can't really feel comfortable contributing to GNOME projects these days. If you're happy as a user though, more power to ya: open source software is highly subjective, so I totally get the appeal of a set-and-forget distro with a nice simple desktop. Going forwards though, it's going to be really interesting to see how KDE handles their increasingly massive technology stack, and how GNOME manages to expand on a relatively barren desktop. There are quite a few ideologies at play here, but only time will tell which ones are pervasive.
If you are just going to call the entire court system rigged, or whatever, then it is corrospondingly difficult to take what you are saying seriously.

As a general rule, I think that the legal experts know more about this than you do.
I don't know if it's because my screen is small (~11 inches) but I hated how Firefox made the tab bar so "important" and attention taking. I'm one of the people who liked when Apple tried to change the safari tab bar [1].

> Mainstream consumers have zero interest in curating content.

Consumers hardly ever get given the tools to curate content apart from upvotes, downvotes, and maybe comments which they can put hashtags in, and even those often get taken away or rendered useless.
The matrix is a right example on some levels, but thematically it is very far off. Existing underground infrastructure like subways, sewers, tunnels for cars, conference centers and bunkers so on are all more indicative of what it would feel like. They already exist and they don't have a matrexian feel to feel to them.

Here are some examples of what I mean by existing underground infrastructure not feeling like the matrix:

If you've ever been to a region where a hundred different freeways intersect and there are a bunch of high rise buildings nearby just imagine all of that moved down into the Earth vertically so as to maximize protection and converted to an aesthetically optimized version of our current underground infrastructure.
When I was at Twitter (6yrs ago now) they averaged around 5k tweets/s. There were MANY more notifications and other system type events.
This is why I only browse twitter from my notifications panel.

Twitter is great when it serves its purpose of being a 140 char log of people that matter.
FPS Russia? Yeah, he’s an American, not Russian.

He was actually a gun maker with a FFL license, which is how he got all those machine guns. He just got off probation for marijuana charges, and is heavily suspected in the mysterious shooting death of his business partner. He won’t be producing anything any time soon, because with that felony charge he won’t be able to get a FFL again.
All future plans are subject to change, but official Navi21 support is expected in ROCm 5.0. It's been shipping unofficially since ROCm 4.2.

Official Navi support (5000-series cards), however, is expected in a later release. In current releases, I think the only ROCm library shipping unofficial support is rocBLAS.

(I work for AMD on ROCm. All opinions are my own.)

How are the new tabs more consistent?
My guess is that Russia will fail in it pretty much off the bat. Putin isn't about progress let alone in something needing such advanced technology as a space race. He is about stealing and feeding his own power manias. Just look at who runs his space program, it speaks for itself. He might dream about space race, but all he can do is spread space junk.
Abstraction is necessary to deal with things at scale, on a programming focused site i think we all know that and know that often the trade off is inefficiency. Its probably to expensive to track all these peoples real value and really it doesn't even matter. What was the consequence of all these supposedly valuable people leaving? Did the stock drop after the guy saving millions a year left? Probably some pointless project was delayed that would have been delayed anyway. We are nothing but cogs in a machine that doesn't care about the cogs.

I think you'll just drive your self crazy worrying about corporate waste and monetary inefficiency (environmental might be the only thing worth thinking about). There always going to be waste and there's no awards when its fixed. I used to be concerned about money being wasted, but now, IDK why I cared in the first place. Its not my money and I don't get any of it.
> It's inaccessible to the novice.

It doesn't seem to be the novice people speaking up against it? Or are they all acting in defence of novices they don't know?
I don't think that's true by and large. C# started purely object-oriented, and it progressively started extending it's usability into functional programming domains (pattern matching, null coalescing, tuples, lambdas), lower-level code (return ref structs, memory spans), and relational programming (LINQ).

So basically, C# is incorporating diverse programming idioms with different strengths from OOP so you can choose the right one for the problem at hand.
I'm in your boat. I had zero idea that this UI change had happened, nor do I know when my browser updated to FF 94. I've just been happily going about my business.
> I'd love to see this code in memory testers like memtest86 so I could send the RAM back if it ever caught a problem like this.

How do you run a memory tester after you have returned all CPUs after Meltdown and all the subsequent microarchicture bugs? I'd call all modern CPUs faulty products. Some more than others.
that's an interesting comparison. although personally i hated the similarly received gnome 3 changes, but don't care about the firefox visual changes at all.

Seems like PG has run out of good insights. It’s possible almost all the great essays he wrote were seeded quite early in his life and he slowly evolved them into great writing. But once he exhausted that original bucket nothing good has come out of his head since :(
Would you please give some examples of those projects?
I am not surprised but I am not going to tolerate it any more without resistance. For each 'shit happening' usually there is one responsible for it. 'Shit' doesn't just happens. 'Shit' takes time. Shit takes effort of those responsible for it. And they should feel the consequences for making any 'shit' happen.
U-3 unemployment is a garbage metric for most applications because it ignores anyone who has given up or underemployed.

U-6 is a much better metric that doesn't sweep these factors under the rug.
Huh. I didn't even notice.
Afaik ships can realistically run on LNG or hydrogen, there is no reason they have to use bunker fuel except it being the cheapest.
No, not rigged.

But sometimes things get interpreted in ways that really stretch the meanings of words. I think anyone that has looked at legal history can agree with that.

And sometimes legal definitions are dumb, which isn't even a court thing.

Also even if it's correct inside its realm, if enough objects count as deadly weapons then "he had a deadly weapon" loses most of its impact and gets misleading. I'm reminded that technically a bare receiver is a gun...
It does make which tab is active easier to see, and that is the only reason i like it. My eyes are worse than they were and I hate fighting for clarity in the interfaces I use. Sometimes low contrasts themes are just more cognitive load.
Damn that's messed up. Got any more?
It's also kinda a pile of garbage. But so is everything else... (actually in many ways it was a lot better than some others, but that's beside the point here). Part of my job at Apple was simply to cache and organize things locally for our team in a way that made sense to us.

Every team is going to want to do this differently. Find good abstractions that are generic enough to let people do with them as they please. Don't force your model down my throat, I'll probably just gag it up and come after you instead.

The issues at Apple stem from the top. Replacing Radar alone solves nothing.
If you want to get into 3d graphics, you could apply for an entry level position in the industry, for example, a Pipeline TD in Visual Effects (VFX) or an R&D position.

Usually it's very hard for them to find talent that has experience in the software field, and you can easily ramp up in the 3d graphics field while in the company.
> There are plenty of municipal entities who can't afford to meet various minimum legal requirements.

Many people are saying this. I'd be interested to know how cities get into situations where they stop complying with legal requirements, and what consequences they face, if you have some examples.

> Furthermore, it's not always clear what severity is attached to various compliance requirements.

I don't think a city should be deciding which laws to follow based on how big the punishment is for not complying. If it is ever economically rational to pay a fine rather than obey the law, then the fine needs to be higher, and if it is ever unclear what the punishment is for breaking a law, then the law needs to be made clearer.

Again, if you have an example of a city mistakenly believing that the penalty for non-compliance with a legal requirement was smaller than it actually was, I'd be interested to know.

> Bankruptcy can cancel debt, but it can't create new funding.

You're absolutely right. I think I was assuming that bankruptcy would automatically trigger a process of the state taking control of the city, which is sort of what happens in Michigan[0]. In some cases, a city can also be dissolved.[1]

Same. I think I've just gotten used to things changing a little bit over time.

Releases are generally well thought out enough that they don't break any mental models or workflows, even when the UI noticeably changes (which in this case, it didn't for me)
> Still, kind of difficult to believe the US only had two incidents of that nature.

Why’s that difficult to believe?
British class systems and Indian caste system worked together very well.
Because his argument is not good. The structure is “If there is no X, then there is no Y. Because Y, X.” This is circular reasoning which is more obvious if we use the same structure as

“If carbon exists, then carbon-based alien life forms exist. Because carbon-based aliens exist, carbon exists.”

Logically, not wrong, but you missed the most interesting part of the proof: aliens exist?! PG missed proving the most interesting part of his post: that good taste exists. I don’t think reductio ad absurdum really works here because there are millions of possible explanations for the “effects” of good taste. In his example, the fact that people have non-random responses to art.

The problem here is just the fact that people have consistent responses to art does not suppose that there exists some inherent reasoning called “taste.” In fact, many popular things are abhorred as poor taste. I think we can agree that liking Citizen Kane more than Twilight would be called “good taste.” The problem here of course is that “taste” is a sociological construct - not a logical or philosophical one - designed by humans to distinguish class upon non-obvious signifiers. Perhaps you could dress a lower class person in fancy dress and perfume, but any upper class person could snuff them out in a moment by any hundreds of small little signifiers.

PG seems to want to talk about taste without having to say any of the unfashionable things about it, not naming any specific art works or signifiers of taste. He wants to “prove” taste exists without ever even defining it. Without a single example in this framework that lends credence to his ideas. By his logic, Marvel movies and Twilight should be more tasteful than Vertigo because more people more consistently like it. In reality, taste works the opposite way, but it’s not that simple either. Most people would hate Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, but that does not mean that liking it means you have good taste. Rather the opposite in fact. The truth here, of course, is that “taste” is a cultural, social, and economic property and lens, not a logical one. You have to get into real world to argue about taste, which PG seems entirely uninterested in doing.

If I may be a bit tongue in cheek, I would advise Paul that if you want to start talking about taste, you must first talk about scarcity and then irony.

> Obviously we have to design for the majority.

That isn't obvious to me. Why remove things that were helping the minority and not hindering the majority?
Realizing this is important for retention. It's damaging when upper management falsely thinks people are interchangeble, which is a common view among non-technical types and HR. This leads to 10x people feeling underappreciated and resentful, ultimately causing them to resign for higher compensation and more appreciation elsewhere. It can literally destroy small companies if an individual's unique contribution isn't properly understood and valued.

Managers should err away from language about "the group", "the team" or "collective" and really drill down to the level of individuals as much as is practical. This is the correct resolution for most decision making. "The team" is just an abstraction that's useful to a small extent for a certain class of decision making, but not beyond that.

It depends how many tabs are open.
I wonder if it will work in Firefox if you change the useragent string to one that pretends you're using a Chrome browser
Not really the new tab look, but menu bars and other interface elements are more consistent now. Things like the settings hamburger and the “allow mic/camera” popup. There are still some elements that lack a consistent look and feel (I’m personally not the biggest fan of the search on page bottom bar and prefer how Chrome does it).
