> I provided concrete evidence of the two mainstream political parties doing exactly what I said they were doing.

Your first article (from Buzzfeed of all places) didn't demonstrate a white nationalist agenda, and if you think the second article supports your point (that Biden is content with whatever white nationalism exists within the Republican party) then I'm not sure we read the same article. The article I read clearly depicts Joe Biden's views that America needs two political parties, that American politics should revert back to the more functional pre-Trump years (and presumably before the alleged mainstreaming of white nationalism that you purport), and that Republicans who want to stay Republicans should do so while voting for Biden. None of that seems controversial at all.

> How a particular slogan like "defund the police" polls is not relevant to the impact of moving $193 billion annual local dollars of police funding to better structured, community-centered alternatives.

You don't think it's a problem that Black Americans overwhelmingly reject policies (as well as rhetoric and ideology) that are purportedly in their interest?

> Conflating evidence-based policy goals and research with how people feel about them in the current present moment is classic misdirection.

"Defund/abolish the police" policy goals aren't evidence based. If you'd like to retreat to the moderate position that we should increase social services while reforming policing, then welcome to the moderate club.

I was starting to look at the same thing. I used to do a bit of Django development (5ish years ago) and things seemed to have changed a good amount with the tooling / frontend.

Does anyone have an opinionated stack they like with Django to get things up and running quickly that could also set me up well for the future for a website and an app(if I want to transition the website to a stable business, etc)?

The things I'd be looking for opinions on:

- django vs DRF
- react (or next.js) vs vue vs something else for frontend
- what other tooling should I use for modern front end development
- what else is in your stack for CI/CD, rollbacks, db migrations, deployments, etc.
- do you use any other templates or themes for the frontend to make the UI look good?
- how you handle security / auth when using a front end framework with django as the backend -- are there any tricks? I've heard JWT can cause headaches
- any django packages they recommend using, or other front end packages that are popular

Thanks!
Except countries that don't require vaccinations for healthcare workers have exactly the same burnout issues. And the problems also affect workers that are vaccinated. Having to do the job right now is quite enough apparently.
If Apple supported Vulkan it would pretty quickly be at parity with Linux for gaming. Proton/Wine/DXVK would actually make a new Macbook Pro a viable option for gaming.

One part of me likes this, it’s a framework built with many concepts I already use on my React apps on a DIY fashion. On the other hand I always have a bad feeling when there is too much magic under the hood… when magic don’t work in your favor you must turn to voodoo and that’s something I prefer to avoid in 2021.

Anyway I’ll give it a try on some side project, looks nice if you need something simple built fast (maybe with supabase or some of those new kids on the block)
If LFP does get to 10_000 cycles usable, that's 50 years at 200 cycles per year.

Cars are going to get much more durable, or it's going to have to be easy to move a pack to a new chassis three or four times. Car manufacturers would probably prefer the latter.

Either that, or we get my imagined rustpunk future, with multi-acre demolition yards full of rusting car bodies piled five high, all wired up and acting as grid storage.

The recycling problem is there, definitely; but it's not overwhelming. And it's much less of a problem than methane emissions and toxic chemical emissions from fracking for oil.
Yes. But time is still finite. And a much lesser quantity than "what our hearts desire".

To put into a very simplified example: I work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day, spend 4 on chores, and 4 on doing what I want. That's 4h/day. Bill Gates has almost immeasurably more money than I have, but he still, at best, gets 16h/day. He can do 4 times as much as I.

And I can guarantee you that "things I'd love to do" is significantly more than even 24h/day. I'd assume the same holds for Gates. This is one of the reasons rich people usually have an entire staff running their lives - if you make billions, spending $100k to save 30 minutes a year is actually a reasonable investment.

And so, even if he loves to code, he might well not be able to never get to it. (TBF: I'm not saying "poor Bill", I'm sure the other stuff he gets up to is reasonably fun :)
Some might think a national average of $81k in annual income is not under compensation considering the median income by state ranges from $50k to $90k.

I would be unable to compare one’s income to another without knowing all the other details I listed at a minimum.

As a side note, I will start believing the balance between purchasers of labor and sellers of labor will have been achieved when purchasers of labor have to start advertising minimum pay per unit of time and advertise consistent work schedules.
I’m not so sure its clear that there’s a spectrum of consciousness. We have no way to observe consciousness (other than our own). For all we know, ants (or even trees or rocks) might well be just as conscious as us. We don’t have any evidence that they are, but that’s largely true of mammals and even other humans too.

> If I keep guessing coinflips, I don't have knowledge of the answer 50% of the time even though I can predict them that often.

Sorry to get off topic, but I think this is an interesting way of thinking about this. I wonder if it represents any kind of larger difference in our worldviews. I would say that we have knowledge of the answer 0% of the time. If we guess and it happens to be correct, that's a coincidence, not an indication of knowledge.

IMO this goes hand in hand with thoughts I've had about the concept of mistakes. When I used to dabble in day trading (I've been clean for a few years now), I gained and lost and gained a lot of money. Whether any particular gamble ended up as a gain or a loss, I consider them all mistakes because I had no rational reason to expect any of them to pay off.

My uneducated hypothesis is that whether somebody thinks of a successful gamble as a mistake or a good decision could be a decent predictor of certain personality traits and political views. Maybe the same applies to the question of whether being correct implies knowledge.

You may simply be in the wrong line of work.

I've made a career of making software for the past 25+ years. If I didn't love the work, I'd be miserable, because there are times when things aren't interesting, or the work feels pointless, or it's hard or tedious.

When I start feeling this way, I step back and try to get a different perspective. I might think it's pointless, but am missing something? The thing that works for me is to try to quantify its value. The goal is to try to prove it's pointless, but more often than not, it proves I'm not aware of all the reasons why the work needs to be done. Or it helps me see how, with some adjustments, it could be very valuable.

When things ares simply slow, it's also a great time to learn how to be better at your role. For me, it's learning new programming languages, or learning about new processes or tools. I think that because I love what I do I have zero lack of motivation to learn how to be better at it.

If that's not happening for you, it may be that you don't love the work, or what the work enables. If you hate guns, for example, you probably wouldn't be that happy working for a gun manufacturer, no matter how well it paid. But if you love music, you could do the exact same kind of work and love it while working for a company that helps put more music in the world. What your efforts enable is crazy influential on how you feel about the work you do.

The latter part is a big deal. There have been times in my career where I was getting paid ludicrous amounts of money, yet I didn't believe in what the company was doing. That was a perfect recipe for burnout, let alone boreout.

For at least the last 7-10 years I've been lucky enough to work for companies who's missions I very much support and have supported, and know my efforts actually mean something. In one case, I worked for a charity and got paid very little money, but still count it as hardest and the most important work I've ever done. I'd still be there today if I could afford it (and have real plans of being there again in semi-retirement).

I recognize that being able to pick what work you do is a privilege that not everyone can take advantage of. If you're in that position, do whatever you can to find something that you enjoy doing. It may be in a totally different industry than the one you're involved in now. It may feel like a demotion, or that it requires you to take a pay cut. It's worth it if you like the work.

Maybe it helps to examine what you find important in a job. For me the right one is one that, in this order:

1. focuses on purpose over profits
2. allows me to decide how best to solve problems
3. pays enough that I don't have to worry about money

If the job can't satisfy those three things, I find one that does.
> I understand "bare-metal" to mean without an operating system.

In your mind, how does a computer system function without an operating system?
In my younger days, I used to spend hours and hours playing with trackers on the Commodore Amiga. Over the years, I've always toyed with the idea of firing one up again but the one thing that's keeping me from doing that is the lack of sample banks.

Admittedly, I've never spent too much time looking into it, so I might be wrong (I actually kind of hope it), but it seems to me that getting hold of a tracker program is not an issue, but getting a hold of any useful samples is. Typically, it involves either spending money (which is fine, I guess, but maybe not if you really just want to appeal to your nostalgia) or painfully wading through online archives of single sound samples in the hope of eventually gathering enough to create your own sample bank. That's a cumbersome process though, that would take toooo long for someone who just wants to casually try out a tracker again.

In the olden days, and maybe that was just because the Amiga trackers I had came from less than official sources, always came with at least one substantial sample bank included. Probably not the greatest samples, but you got a decent amount of bass sounds, some drums (kicks, snares, hihats) and some lead instruments. Granted, there were also many garbage sounds that you could probably never use (I remember samples from Star Wars movies, etc...) but besides those, there were enough actual musical sounds/instruments that you could use to make your own songs.

Like I said above, maybe it's just that I'm not looking in the right places, and I really hope that I'm just doing it wrong. So if you know how where to get samples for any tracker program (like, a comprehensive mixed set, not just single samples and not just a bank of 1024 bass sounds or so), please post a link.
Right? A short time ago, few of us were thinking in those terms.
Yea, you can get 180 pills from CostCo for $18 ($0.10 / pill). These seem wildly over priced considering that it defines "long-lasting" as 1 month, meh.

For a year this is $40 * 12 = $480.

Or I could get 180 pills from CostCo (and you could probably source these cheaper) for $18, even if I ate dairy at every meal 365 * 3 = 1095, I would only need 1095 / 180 = 6.08 (round up to 7) boxes of Fast-Acting Lactase which is only 7 * $18 = $126.

This is 4 times the price and for 1 week each month I need to remember to take 3 pills a day. The value prop just doesn't add up, it's not hard to source or have lactase pills on hand.

"I’m not going to have the vehicle towed. Amazon should be able to figure this out. So now it’s an act of defiance. I did not follow Amazon’s instructions to just call the cops and have it towed."

There's a simple fix, and he didn't want to do it. Instead, he's whining on the Internet, blaming a company that doesn't own the vehicle and can't do anything about it, either.
"do not want" isn't "isn't possible". It takes work to effect that change, but it isn't impossible.

As for the second statement: Removing a safety net from somebody else for equality's sake is the equivalent of a three year old smashing their toy so their brother can't play with it either. Yep, equal outcome is guaranteed now, but there's a more adult way to handle it.
Theoretically, if I wanted to get rid of disposables, I would not care about icloud or fastmail - they are paid plans that have billing information attached, and in the event of severe abuse, I can contact them.

When they say "extremely fast GPU code" I think they mean relative to Rust's normal home: standard CPUs. So I don't think the claim needs any specific support.
Given the majority is paycheck to paycheck, many and myself included see under compensation as a chronic problem the result of economic policy building it to the point we see today.[1]

Those details are unnecessary at these income levels. Basic cost and risk exposure most people face are enough to understand sums in that range.

[1] The implied promise was it being far less expensive to live and work. That simply did not happen, and that failure defines the problem in my view, just to be clear.
put it into neutral and push it into the public street, off your property line, then call the traffic cops. not your problem anymore.

It only technically is built for Rails and Laravel but reading the “spec” and the code I got it to work pretty quickly with a Rust backend.

It would be nice for more of these frontend niceties to be built around an API contract rather than a particular JS on the server implementation.
Not for the near future, HIP does not seem to be language-agnostic and the codegen is for NVVM IR, not whatever AMD uses. It might be possible to target amdgpu with llvm because all the gpu-unfriendly things are gone in my codegen. So maybe in the future? im not sure
The best part of this is that someone took the time to explain how remix is different and why that can be good. I wish more projects would do something like this. There are plenty of tools I never learn about because no one bothers to explain them.

So as a 56yo "old school" LAMP-stack monkey, could someone please give me a quick rundown exactly what benefits would investing the mental energy (a non-trivial amount) and time (less an issue) give to someone in my ancient yet comfortable canvas Cons?

For sure next.js is an interesting framework and of course I use plenty of typescript in my projects to keep the UXs from feeling stale, but I have yet to see the overwhelming benefits that going all-in with something like this framework would give me overall, besides just the obvious one that I'm "keeping up with the cool kids"...

One think I do really like here is the way Remix is keeping things on the backend...I'll admit coming from the 1980s I'm much more comfortable working with backend paradigms, so this particular stack has caught my attention more than others and why I am particularly interested in hearing about its direct benefits (besides the obvious ones like "its not PHP" of course)
If I had to guess, this is probably E. coli — BL21 is a well known strain used for expressing recombinant protein.
i know im one of 1/1000th of bicyclists for saying so but i detest separated bike lanes. i want to coexist with the main street, have options to use the street. i can move & navigate with the flow of traffic adequately, where-as with deciated bike lanes i have to keep re-encountering parallel streams of traffic & checking the situation. i'd way rather share the street, even given what utter entitled short-tempered & jeapordizing punks some drivers are.

generally agree with the article. but i hear people pitching dedicated bike lanes a lot, as the article does. and they feel like they admit defeat. they accept that drivers are ungovernable murdering jerks. which perhaps isnt wrong. but especially when detached, i think we're sedning drivers the message that roads are theirs, and we are creating a worse far inferior form of cycling in the process. being able to bime about & enjoy the road, to feel freer than everyone else is divine & accurate & good, and bicyclists as much as anyone are giving up paradise & freedoms they should have for a confinement i think is oppressive when they are coralled into dedicated bike lanes.

again im 1/1000 here, probably less. i felt great in my city, on streets. it feels like a fading joy, feels like popular urban design is taking away the greatness of the bicycle to me. but it does help a lot of peoe.
How to Go from Idea to MVP
The term has different definitions based on context.
Because I was a journalist in a previous life, I remember that around the same timeframe (a few years before time), the Brazilian media also adopted the same model. There were two huge radio stations that co-owned other major ones in different cities. They ended up deciding the playlists of FM radio in the entire country. AM radio only played rural-centric music, or music from the 50s or earlier. FM had a small rulebook of what was playable and what wasn't, including in terms of tone and production.
So, if I understand this correctly, people who make things happened don't allow people who just police bullshit CoC to take over? Good for them.
in particular since the 70s and the 80s and the rise of the Freedom Party centering around the fairly eccentric Jörg Haider Austria developed a very particular nationalism (partially pan-German) that is ironically more or less absent in post-war Germany.

Austria much earlier than a few other European countries had a much more populist streak whereas Germany even now is fairly consensus oriented and stable. It's a sort of mix of libertarianism, nationalism, conservatism and questions of national identity that seem very at the front of Austrian politics in a way that you barely have in Germany.
This is a point that the economist Paul Krugman has made in his NYT columns.
I’m not sure what the intersection is of people (1) rich enough to do this, (2) willing to slum it in a tin can where none of the wealth they’ve accumulated thus far would even let them retire because the entire economy has to be constructed ex nihilo first, (3) have nobody binding them to Earth, either because they don’t exist or because they came with them to Mars, (4) is not too anti-social to function despite #3.

Don’t get me wrong, when Musk first announced this I was very interested, and could just about afford the target price. But then I tried a much more minor relocation — Cambridge to Berlin — and found myself much lonlier than I’d been primed to expect by my experience moving to Cambridge in the first place after I graduated.

It might be fine, I just wouldn’t assume that now.

I was in a similar situation two years ago putting in 60+ hour weeks including holidays at an IT helpdesk job, and still felt like my student debt barely had a dent to the point where my full repayment date would extend beyond 2030. My choice was to learn programming by doing challenges like HackerRank & save up to attend a coding bootcamp instead of making some numbers in some institutional bank account look slightly lower than actuarial tables would have predicted. It's a bit surprising to see most comments say to finish college where I think you would benefit more from upskilling in a trade program that has a much shorter time horizon than college to finish, where most employers do want some sort of accreditation beyond a GED instead of taking a chance on someone that's fully unproven. That said, non-traditional paths upwards exist but would likely require relocating from Indiana and networking through outreach to find what it would take to advance in a lateral career move, maybe at an industry conference or local group meetup.
That's precisely what I meant. The OP's post was a case (or a variation) of "Appeal to Worse Problems" fallacy.

When they make optimizations for something, and then _artificially limit_ access to those optimizations (for applications that absolutely could utilize them) for purely commercial or marketing reasons, then yes, absolutely they're punishing.
