> First of all, it's simplistic to say socialists reject markets see

Yes I am familiar with this fact. That's why I said "modern socialist mores" in my above post, which was admittedly probably doing too much work in my head and not explaining enough. I find that libertarian socialists, market socialists, minarchists, and market anarchists are not really popular leftist positions anymore. Most socialist spaces I encounter these days mostly consider communism, socialism, anarcho-communism, or anarcho-socialism.

> Second, just because you reject something still means you are allowed to present arguments against it. Otherwise only those who hold crypto would be allowed to think or criticize it. You aren't giving arguments against the critiques presented right now, you are just going "ah, you are a socialist, that's why". If you disagree with the critique I'd love to hear your reasoning, but what does labelling and rejecting add?

Imagine if someone in the comments critiques the West's decadence and ascribes it to the West's consumption of pork. To many ethical frameworks, the reasoning would be odd; why pork of all things? In Islamic ethics, however, that is in fact a reasonable line of criticism. Likewise your positions seemed to reject a lot of things taken for granted in everyday life in many developed countries which is why your remark about being a socialist makes more sense. I'm not rejecting socialism; knowing you're a socialist makes your critique more understandable.

> Is selling crack, fixing up people to opiods or drawing them into cults providing positive utility for you? How about adding extra sugar, salt, MSG and fat to food to make it more palatable with cheaper ingredients, and possibly more unhealthy and addictive? Is it positive utility to use marketing to create a perceived problem and then selling the solution?

I don't believe it's the role of the State to police any but the most deleterious mores. I believe that humans can form social mores against the excesses of vices and that having the State enforce social mores often results in more negative than positive externalities. When there's a large collective action problem, say environmentalism, I _do_ think in terms of utility, which is why I was asking about utility. I largely think the negative utility imposed by cryptocurrency scams upon the environment is far outweighed by the negative utility of other things so, much like the renter that uses more water than they should because their management pays for water, I consider it one of the many tiny sources of negative utility out there that is only worth tackling once bigger targets have been tackled.
Accuracy and Completeness of Drug Information in Google Snippet Blocks
I use Windows 10 all the time. OneDrive is installed but I am not logged into it because I don't use it.

My Windows save file dialog defaults to the Downloads folder. OneDrive is listed as an option (along with Dropbox which I do use) but I basically never notice it so I am not entirely sure what you are referring to.
A mix would probably be better. Allow some folks to (over-)pay their way in, and then give others cheap or free access through a raffle or community-building programs.
Years ago, yeah. It took some time to figure out the new .kfx format. Now? If you're on a macOS/Windows no setup is necessary, provided you have the Kindle app installed. If you have a physical Kindle and you use Linux, the setup is as easy as looking up a serial number in settings and entering it into the plugin's settings. If you don't have a physical one and no access to a Windows machine, then it is a bit tricky, yeah. That said, I assume this doesn't apply to at least 70% of its users.

As for the plugin's stability, I have yet to experience a problem after like 7-8 years of usage. I've upgraded from Calibre v4 to v5 before the plugin supported v5, but that's about it.
Sounds like when this person was younger they still got some enjoyment out of life, now woke culture has poisoned their brain so much that an online ordering system not letting the in "just a bit early" is a personal affront.
This seems to me a milder version of the trope of the artist doing drugs to 'expand their mind' beyond what the normies can handle. Which reminds me of a supposed story about a Buddhist monk who supposedly dropped acid in a club in LA and stated: 'this is what meditation is like.' These days I find myself more so interested in the people whose minds seem to attain those 'out there' states without any external aid.
> In Spain, to get healthcare was never a problem; I'm not sure if that wouldn't have been an issue in the US.

Yes, the Spanish healthcare system works quite well; I'm a fan! It does a much better job of ensuring coverage than the US system, particularly for the lower middle class. In the US, the poorest ~25% have good public coverage through Medicaid or Medicare and the top ~40% do ok with the employer-subsidized system, but there's a giant donut hole in the middle with no good options and the system sucks for them.

> I see the same problem with education: while we were not poor, I am not sure if I would have been able to go to one of the best schools in my country, as I did for free in Spain.

I admire Spain's commitment to free university education and I think it's a good deal for some folks, the lower middle class in particular. But for helping the very poorest advance, I'm not sure it works in practice. The Spanish high-school graduation rate is much lower than the US one, and anecdotally at least I feel like the children from low-income families I know here in Spain are less likely to consider university or a professional career an option at all compared to their peers in the US, despite it being free. I'm not sure how to fix this.

> On racism, I don't wanna sound harsh, but I believe you only see less because the US is much more segregated. I am typically perceived as Hispanic by most Americans, and believe me, racism is an issue.

It's possible that US cities are more segregated on average, but I don't think that's driving my personal observations. I've lived in low-income neighborhoods with 20-90% minority populations my entire adult life, so I've had a lot of exposure to race relations to calibrate against. More concretely, my wife happens to be hispanic, and feels she's experienced more negative racism in Barcelona than she ever did in the US.
Intresting and the real one cause of society topics
I don't mind a touch screen, but let me program the buttons on the steering wheel e.g. there should be a fn button. When I press it and arrows I can change the temperature. I'd have pretty much all important functions available without taking my hands far away from the steering wheel as well as my eyes off the road.

I wish they would stop making capacitive buttons though. (VW, Audi and Mercedes - I'm looking at you)
I don't like touchscreens - sans the backup cam - cause I have glance at the screen (as opposed to a physical touch) to do anything. In addition, I don't use the car GPS, I use my device, etc.

I think there was a time when screens were a novelty and they helped sway buyers. But now that that thrill is gone, they feel like an inappropriate UX.

p.s. I like the backup cam but can certainly live without. I have for 30+ yrs so what's the big deal.
Thoughts:

- prose and comments are greatly improved with shorter lines (I switched to reader mode to read the post)

- a logical code line often exceeds optimal prose length (70-80), due to indentation, syntax, language idioms etc

- code is more sparse and much less visually homogenous than prose, which means code can have longer lines without causing "staccation return issues"

- it is technically easy and non-destructive to auto wrap in-editor for display output (long source -> shorter display)

- it's ambiguous and hard for an editor to "unwrap" (short source -> longer display)

- grepping source works better with less wrapping

- diff tool UIs seem to struggle with long lines, today

- some single identifiers are commonly longer than 80 - such as URLs

- comments and code doesn't have to have the same max length

Linus got it right in this case imo. In the future, I'd be curious about ubiquitous and standardized auto-wrapping in editors so that you can set whatever length you damn please without imposing it on everyone else.
True. Using price as the only gatekeeper means you have to be okay with a large swath of the population never having access, no matter how many times they are told to read self-help books about making more money.

Besides, I'm sure Disney has thought about this. Going to a Disney park is usually somewhere between a once-a-year or a once-a-decade treat for families with kids. They'd probably rather have it be just affordable enough for middle class families because those families and kids go on to consume tons of other Disney content and merchandise. Letting average people have access means it reinforces the fandom for generations to come, as opposed to just having the park be a rich people thing.
> if you bike fast around cars shit can happen

If you bike slowly around cars, bad shit is even more likely to happen.

Have you ridden a motorcycle on roads before? It's infinitely safer than pedaling a bicycle among automotive traffic because you can at least keep up with the flow of traffic and behave in every sense as an automobile, in what is firmly the automobile's native land.

In the US it's exceedingly rare to live in a village with dedicated bike trails you can safely coast along. We have roads full of carelessly driven cars everywhere. Riding bicycles on those roads is quite unpleasant to say the least, based on my experience. We have reported instances of assholes "rolling coal" not only deliberately smoking out cyclists, but in some cases flat out running them over.

And we haven't even broached the subject of cycling being an acquired skill many adults plain suck at. It's complicated if you didn't grow up pedaling everywhere. Have you ever tried introducing an adult to cycling who didn't do it before? The only teaching experience more cringe-worthy I can recall was teaching someone with no manual transmission experience how to ride a motorcycle. All those moments have been hellish "I'm pretty sure I'm just helping this person get on a path leading to more convoluted self-harm" experiences. Getting them to go for a run doesn't even register anywhere on this particular map.

Back when I moved to CA for my first startup job, I had to leave my partner and our pets back in IL for a few months with family while I found us an apartment. When my partner finally showed up she had her arm in a cast, wanna guess why? Bicycle crash. She didn't have much experience riding bicycles growing up in a sea of cycling-hostile 5+-lane Florida surface streets, and crashed riding my old bicycle with my nephew passing time while waiting to relocate. Imagine how annoying that must have been to bring two housecats through TSA alone with a newly broken arm. Yeah, go ride bicycles everywhere everyone!

People that recommend everyone ride a bicycle everywhere seem to have absolutely no perspective rooted in reality. My "man up, run everywhere" comment was intended mostly tongue in cheek, but I'm willing to play devil's advocate in arguing it's obviously safer and more accessible than cycling. They're both ridiculously impractical in a world optimized for automobiles.
It's really not. Sure it doesn't happen every single time but cops very often turn a blind eye to crime, even violent crime, and they often shoot innocents or worse and get away with it.
LaTeX can output to fluid-format document types (e.g., ePub), and there are tools that will convert between numerous output formats (pandoc).

Even if you're looking at mobile displays, there's a finite set, and those can either be punted or targeted precisely at the 4", 5", 6", 8", and 10" device sizes which are most common.

Using an e-ink device, I'd really prefer more Web content were paginated. I tend to rely on the EinkBro web browser for anything over a page or two in length simply because I can page through that rather than deal with the fussiness of scrolling.

Once you reach a sufficiently large display, physical pragmatics come to the fore. We've settled on books that are mostly 8--14" or so diagonal measure because that's what's convenient to hold and read. There are smaller and larger exceptions (pocketbooks and other miniatures, coffee-table books and atlases), but those are 1) less convenient and 2) clear compromises between format, material, ease of reading, and other factors.

For a sufficiently-large desktop display, a standard quarto/folio print format displayed 2-up is usually preferable. Scaling from that or presenting 1-up is really the desktop / window manager's problem.
You might be correct, but just to play Devil's advocate a bit more, in the social media age, word of mouth marketing might be overshadowed in importance by the importance of social status in marketing, which a more exclusive experience would be.

Imagine if Disney was a bit more of exclusive experience, and people felt they could truly boast about visiting Disney that year. That's a powerful thing in marketing. People who were on the fence might feel compelled to save every spare dollar they could to try and make the trip happen.

I understand that they don't want to be seen as elitist, there's probably a fine line that would have to be made here. And I'm sure that Disney employs a number of analysts who have tried to figure out all of these scenarios already. Just interesting speculation. I think the safest path for them is keeping prices high, but not out of reach for most families to reasonably aspire towards.
I've been waiting a while for a good article on integrating rust into python for a while. I was inspired by the amazing performance of the orjson python lib.

Because the company in the video -- Atlantic Richfield Company, aka ARCO -- acquired the pit in 1977 only to shut it down in 1982 after discovering what a white elephant it was. The company that actually dug the thousands of miles of tunnels and later the pit was Anaconda Copper (one of the most rapacious, amoral corporations to ever exist) which went belly up in 1983. Anaconda Copper made fortunes for the usual suspects like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds throughout the 20th century. Good luck clawing any restoration money back from them after its been laundered through generations.

If you ever find yourself driving though Butte I highly recommend a stop to see the Berkely pit, the access towers, the enviromental devestation and the excellent mining museum. Its facinating.
I think what rubs a lot of people wrong about PoS is that it puts a name behind the validator and people don't trust people. One may claim that all validations require some level of trust, but it s the same reason why people trust google and not <person>'s link directory. And people have reasons to be suspicious because they know that when humans become actively malicious they find devilish ways to coopt others, while algoritms can just fail.
I'm jaded about the Internet.

https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence didn't last.

The web is no longer "surfed". The web is an escalator of sanitised material, surveilled and stateful.

On the plus side, the web is now used by billions of people to solve real problems. That's nice, but it's not a place of exploration for me anymore.

> It has nothing to do with people except in how it's commonly used

I have no idea where you got this idea, but I have never read it anywhere.

I think you're trying to use a literal translation of parts of a neoclassical compound. Etymology is scarcely _literal_, because words from classical languages like Greek and Latin (and even modern languages such as German) do not always _directly_ translate to English (look up the literal translation of the German word 'brustwarzen' for example). The literal translation from Spanish "de nada" to English is "of nothing" but that is not how language works. Instead, the meaning is translated to "you are welcome." Regardless, 'genocide' is not a Greek word. It is a neoclassical compound that uses with the Greek prefix genos- (race or tribe), and the Latin suffix -caedo (to kill). The word was coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe where he says it is "a new term and new conception for destruction of nations" (https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml). Neoclassical compounds do not necessarily carry the full context of the sum of their parts and are generally created to have a single meaning. Similarly, Joost Meerlo coined the neologism "menticide" (mind-kill) to which he admitted that he followed the etymology used by the UN to form the legal definition of genocide (see https://www.un.org/ar/preventgenocide/adviser/pdf/osapg_anal...).

As others have said, low-impact cardio is fine on your knees (swimming, cycling, cross-trainer).

Natural human language is taken to be the most legible at 9 - 12 words per line (in non-justified running text). Which is pretty much what you're seeing there.

Plus, you're most likely not going to check this conversation in into git. And you're probably not going to pipe it into grep. :^)
If we are on Mars likely we'll be in space habitats very shortly thereafter.

I don’t disagree, but having pressed some of them on those exact issues (not all at that luncheon), it really is similar to talking to district attorneys who often prosecute low-level drug crimes (which I personally find even more egregious). These are people who really are convinced they are doing the right thing. As I said, this doesn’t change my opinion, but it does make having a conversation more productive.
To anyone who is interested in this stuff I would strongly recommend the book “Skunk Works” by Ben Rich. Full of interesting history about stealth planes, and a masterclass on how to run a ragtag company.
One thing I haven't seen anyone discuss is phone interfaces. BMW/Jaguar were one company invested in the old Webinos IoT efforts that I personally thought were super super on point, which was a nice standards based system, that respected personal data. I kind of imagine anyone in the car having a touchscreen interface if they want it: just pull out your phone.

We don't expect a good parity interface, but projects like Webinos or, heck, the Jeep QNX-OS hack, show great things are possible. The Jeep hack, fwiw looked amazing: a beautiful fantastic DBus interface for all the cars systems. I remain in love with the idea of hacking one's own car & building the fantastic interface the car maker are unable to build (and which would admittedly likely not suit all users; sad that software has so massified, must serve so so many, even though the consumers interest/abilities are not alike).

Another X factor I want to throw out there: personally I really like to have the cabin dimmed way down at night. I don't end up in a lot of cars, but in my limited experience, I've never seen a touchscreen that comes anywhere close to being able to dim down adequately. So one of the first things I do in a car typically is figure out how to turn the display off.

Even though I have a lot of touchscreen disastisfaction.

I have only experienced Disneyland while in college in the early 70s. We went on Caltech/JPL night, and our groups had the park to ourselves. I don't remember long lines, and the price was so reasonable I don't remember what it was. I am sure I would be totally repelled by the currently optimized money suck, just as I was recently repelled attending a conference in Las Vegas.
Yes. I was using it when it was taken away. I was literally kicked out while logged in.
I had to check in case it had actually ever occurred, since I had recently read about 30 February existing for reals:
https://www.timeanddate.com/date/february-30.html

It looks like there has never been a real 31 February.
I was a little confused by the assembler in the fourth tweet. Here is what I think is going on. First the code:

1. vxorps %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm0
2. vmovups %ymm0, 11(%rdi)
3. vmovups %ymm0, (%rdi)
4. vzeroupper

So line 1 sets xmm0, a 128 bit/16 byte register, to 0 (by xoring it with itself). I suppose the convention is for the caller to save the register if it wants it. The thing that confused me is that the way 256 bit/32 byte registers work is that ymmX represents the 256 bit register of which xmmX is the lower half. Similar to the way %eax is the lower 32 bits of %rax. I suppose the upper half of %ymm0 is 0 by ABI.

So line 2 then writes out this 32-byte register (of zeros) starting at buffer[11] and ending at buffer[42]. The actual instruction name stands for “vector move unaligned packed single precision floats” and I don’t really understand why the precision or float type matters.

Line 3 writes it from buffer[0] to buffer[31]. I guess the overlap isn’t expensive.

Line 4 zeros the upper half of the register which is a no-op in this case but might be useful as it breaks the dependency chain so the cpu can know nothing else will need to use the current upper-half values (but isn’t it useful to break the chain on the lower half too?).
For strict entry, Disney might face sticker shock at that price level, but they could probably derive as much revenue from people with up-sells and nibbles. E.g. charging for FastPass, pre-booked meals, etc.
I dunno; I don't use an external monitor, and code on a 1080p 13" laptop screen. At my normal font size, a full-screen terminal is 190 characters. That's fine; and I try to soft-limit my line width to 120 characters or so.

Personally I don't like side-by-side diffs; I'm fine with unified diffs, so I guess I don't run into that problem.

But still, I recognize that nearly everyone else I know codes on a larger monitor (you can get a decent, but not great, 27" monitor for $300 or so) with much more horizontal space, and I wouldn't ask them to cater to my small-screen preferences.
How does Fast Pass in Disneyland work? The video is a bit long. I have used something similar at another (not Disney) park and it allowed me to skip queues all the time, even on the same rides and there was no pre-booking requirement. I think it was by far the best experience in a theme park I have ever had. Not so much for the people without it of course, for them it made the queues longer.
Mainly places like SV/SF, Seattle, Boston, maybe Austin. I'd love to work in NYC of course, but yeah I imagine it's as close to London as you get in the US.
When "visually scanning" code, in 90% of the cases, only the first 10 characters matter anyway, so I fail to see your point. How often do you really need to grasp, say, all function arguments at once?
