"Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves, not for society."

As human beings, we have an underlying need for belonging and connection. All of us are by default programmed to be connected to our own interests. For many that circle broadens to their friends and family and for a few that broadens to their immediate community. Fewer still feel connected to their country and only some of us will feel connected to the world.

Hi there! I'm Melissa, and I'm looking for a remote software developer position. I care deeply about high-quality products and the people who need them. I’m a self-taught front end developer with a fondness for React Hooks and an unquenchable thirst for learning. I have a broad-ranging background including sales, UI/UX design, web development, and product development.

My most recent project was a complete multi-tenant order management system to run fundraisers online that I built in React. It included dashboards for both the service provider and fundraisers, as well as personalized store pages for individual sellers to manage order attribution with point of sale functionality backed by Stripe.

If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted person with excellent communication skills who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I know I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about what problems you’re looking to solve.

Back in the day, my setup was one 30" in the middle in landscape and a pair of 21" (or whatever that was that had the right dimensions) on the sides in portrait mode. The big screen was the primary and the other two were for reference. I still think this is the best setup. Right now I have 2 large curved displays and probably double the visible pixels but it's not as productive.
Makes sense, young single people live in the dense part and then when they couple up and have kids move out... east!
Because they will need to hire more hourly workers.

The whole concept of hourly minimum wage is undercut by the ability of businesses to pay a meager salary.

The mechanism of action for increases prices paid to workers is by decreasing supply of man hours from one individual at a low price (i.e. increasing salaries minimum).

The problem with that is you need a receiver that supports Dolby Digital and most homes won’t have that. In fact my lounge TV doesn’t even have external speakers nor amp attached. So DD does t really help the casual viewers I was describing.
Here's someone trying to rig the stock market. Regulation means that they aren't free to do that. Regulation means that I am free to get a fair market for my stock. I'm more free, and they're less free. (I mean, I also am not free to rig the market, but I wasn't going to do that anyway.

You're free from the threat of murder, which means that I am not free to murder you. Giving freedom always means taking away some other freedom.

The point of regulation is to say that some freedoms are more important than others. The freedom from murder is more important than the freedom to murder. The freedom to get a fair price is more important than the freedom to rig the market. And so on.

Markets work well when the regulations are right. They work badly when the regulations are wrong, or when the regulations are missing.

> I still don't get what makes covid different from the flu. Yes, covid is a little bit more deadly, but other than, why don't we just accept it as part of our lives like we did with the flu?

The additional amount of hospitalizations from COVID19 is crushing our hospitals, even with some vaccine support. A number of states have run out of hospital beds in the August 2021 COVID19 Delta-variant surge.

Fortunately, we've got vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and dexamethasone today compared to March 2020. With all of these new techniques, the death rate has dropped, and treatment of COVID19 has gotten easier.

Still, we're stressing our hospitals to severe limits in parts of the country. We'd ideally want more slack, so that our nurses / doctors can get a well deserved break from this pandemic.
The recording of context doesn't matter that much when viewed through the modern lens, honestly. Too much interference from modern experience.

> The only issue that I have with this so far is that newer construction denser housing is not required to have parking for some reason, but people living in them do have cars. I'm hoping that larger projects start to require parking because transit here just isn't good enough to not have a car.

Mandatory parking minimums make constructing new housing more difficult, raising the cost of housing. The city is making the tradeoff that affordable housing is more important than free parking. As density increases it will hit a point where you need to pay for parking. I live in Belltown and own a parking spot. Ultimately I think this is the right direction to go, the city shouldn't have to pay to store your car.

If you like hot weather, there are many better places to live, like Scottsdale or Naples. If you must live in California, why not Palm Springs?

If you are concerned about taxes and cost of living and you don't need California's weather, virtually any other state has a safe community for you to live in.
And I would argue that's a good thing, save for those who overbought housing with the expectation of it continuing to rise in value. But it's not responsible to shape the housing market to favor those following the greater fool scheme.

While open-source might not have been on the corporate radar a few years back, things are certainly changing. It is nice to see open-source being adopted by larger corporate enterprises.

Case in point: my son and his music/business partner have just moved to Santa Fe, where housing for young/lower income people is almost impossible to find. Because of the "tradition" of building casitas here for centuries, we effectively have ADUs, and the only thing our son's friend could find that was affordable was essentially a very small ADU/casita.

Is it a dream home? No. Is it an acceptable living space while someone gets their feet on the ground, starts figuring out a new job/life? Absolutely.

> The only issue that I have with this so far is that newer construction denser housing is not required to have parking for some reason

The reason is that parking requirements massively add to the costs of building new apartments. It works out that everyone in the building has to pay extra, regardless of whether they actually use the parking. Parking minimums also mean that some projects just will never work economically.

> at some point we're going to run out of street parking

Sounds fine! The city doesn't need to provide free car storage to everyone.
I lived almost all my life on neighborhoods of "walk up apartments" (3 or 4 floor high condo buildings without a lift, typically with 2 units per floor), and I agree completely. It is small enough density to be calm and quiet, but high enough density to support small local businesses at walking distance.
COVID-19 is a serious public health problem but let's not exaggerate. In terms of years of life lost it's about 2-9x worse than the flu, not 20x.

It seems somewhat unlikely for a number of reasons. The article was quite long, so I didn't read it all, but a key takeaway seemed to be "Gatsby only uses the server-side rendering APIs when building for production". SvelteKit does SSR rendering in development as well, so you wouldn't have the issue of dev and production being different in that way. Also, Svelte's hydration works a bit differently than React's.

> Could you enlighten as to what those are?

Generally speaking, I believe company leadership is directionally correct on most issues, with one very important exception (pre-CA data openness). The metrics that company leadership cares about are pro-social and correlate well with user happiness long term.

Because of hierarchical delegation, teams and individual's sometimes have incentives that aren't well aligned with company priorities. For example, suppose the company wants to encourage people to share more pictures they take in the app's camera. Sharing these pictures is (IMO) well aligned with user happiness. However, you can't task most ICs with causing users to share more videos, it's too hard to directly influence. So instead you task somebody with increasing the number of images captured (not only shared) because this is easier to change. The result? Lottery-style "which are you" camera effects that encourage users to take 10s of pictures for each share.

Stuff like that often plays out without leadership noticing for months or years. I think FB is getting much better at noticing these sorts of things and intervening more quickly, but it's not possible to fix everything instantly.

I'm not going to debate your other points, this isn't the right venue for that.

The problem is multiplied by an information-theory phenomenon: like a mathematics textbook, each line of dialog these days is distilled to contain maximum information. There is little redundancy. If you miss a line, it really matters.

Combine that with this trend of filming long, brooding pauses punctuated by only occasional dialog, and you get a lot of resentful watchers after they've waited for 30 seconds for the actor to finally say something, and then it trails off unintelligibly, leading to a 90-second adventure in rewinding not far enough, then too far, then waiting for buffering...

I've been using a cheap SEIKI 4K TV for the past 6 years but recently moved my desk next to a window and the reflection on the glossy finish has made it hard to use. I'm looking for either a 32" 4K IPS monitor or a better TV to replace it but the options don't seem that great. Would love to get some recommendations on a good monitor or TV.

Right now I'm considering https://www.amazon.com/LG-32UN880-B-UltraFine-Compatibility-... but I just missed the deal that costco had on it ($500) so might wait to see the price drop again because it's been on sale for that price a few times this year.

Fair enough. I was using a range in order to address other countries as well.
Early on, before we had the vaccine and ways to help reduce mortality, the WHO said:

> Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.

https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-dir...

We know this number was likely under-reporting the total cases, due to asymptomatic cases we didn't test for, but I think a range of 1-3% mortality for COVID, letting it go unchecked, is reasonable. This isn't even accounting for variants, as Delta evidenced.

Deaths will climb as our hospitals become encumbered, so we can't rely on the low-range estimates if fewer people are able to receive treatment. This is why we can't just accept COVID as something we live with and do nothing about quite yet.
Having watched all of Game of Thrones on Blueray, when the final season came out I was stuck with a UK streaming service called "nowtv", which my router reported was pulling in at 4mbit a second.

One person can hit another person over the head without any centralized authority being involved. So I don't think your claim is correct at all. Assuming if somebody breaks an agreement, you just hit them over the head with a stick.
I’m sure they would tell you the truth if they did have it and not down play the situation.
This isn't a compelling argument. Those "hunting rifles" are the designs that killed millions from 1910-1950 (probably more than any small arm before or after).

In the US, there are something like 3-400 rifle shootings compared to 40-50,000 pistol shootings. When you look up mass shootings, you'll see pistols used all the time because 20-30 rounds in a tiny pistol are about as lethal as 20-30 rounds in a rifle at close range against unarmored targets while being TONS more maneuverable.

Tavor x95 is 26.4" with a 15.5" barrel. The M1 carbine (already cut down from the M16) is 7.5" longer despite having a shorter 14.5" barrel and although the weight is technically the same, the Tavor seems 2-3x lighter because the weight is right next to the body rather than a foot away.

Tavor x95 Carbine (22.5" long) is almost a foot shorter and 3/4 lb lighter than the M4 carbine. The M4 CQRB blinds the shooter in dark rooms and loses tons of stopping power with the 10" barrel, but is still a quarter-pound heavier and 3.5" longer. Those inches have a huge impact on time to target which is critical indoors.

Despite this, countries like Canada which ban the "assault rifles" like the AR-15 still allow the Tavor. It's not about the style of rifle.

I'd also put forward that if efficiency were the goal, 6.5 Grendel would be used instead of 5.56 as it has almost 2x the momentum, 20% more kinetic energy, and 4x lower ballistic coefficient while only increasing weight 10-15% (still half the weight of 7.62).

The US has tried to move away from the AR-15 platform numerous times (and a ton of special forces who have the option already have). Each time, they run into the issue where the training costs (hundreds of hours for millions of people), rifle costs, and cost to replace billions of rounds of ammo are just too high despite the efficiency increases.

AR isn't the best. It's just the most pragmatic at the moment.
Than anytime in human history is such a dumb way to characterize it. I mean, do we really expect the world to go backwards? It has happened in the past for sure, but regressions have not been a thing in the modern world for quite a while. So “than anytime in human history” has, is and will likely be true and that makes the characterization pointless.

>> because they would likely not eat anywhere where both were bad, they fail to allow for the large number of restaurants in this category which would weaken or even flip the correlation

> This appears to logically imply that the positive correlation might not be eliminated or flipped, depending on specific circumstances.

No. The negative correlation.

The text you quoted is explaining why the negative correlation is observed, even though the underlying population data might show a weaker negative correlation or even a positive correlation.

Berkson's paradox is essentially a sampling error. Read it as "anecdotes have sampling bias when competitive market conditions force a trade off in qualities observed anecdotally." The only evidence necessary to show it applies is that there's an economic trade-off: Google hiring people based on experience and coding competitions, singles choosing dates based on personableness and attractiveness, schools admitting students based on educational pedigree and academic performance.

> You wrote "you don't need data" and then asked for contrary evidence.

That isn't remotely what happened. I believe you may be conflating my discussion of apples with my discussion of schools. I encourage you to try to say only true things about others' positions, please.
Switch browsers then, you have alternatives. Nothing wrong with what they do, this is not the way to appreciate free stuff. We're not in 2003 when IE was your only tool.

Are we offended by too many options now? I want a rendering engine with adblocker and a mail client blended in. Most of my time is spent in a browser when I'm online so, for me, it makes sense for my browser to be as capable as it can.
I really dislike post production dynamic equalisers because they’re altering the sound in a way that wasn’t intended. Sure it sometimes sounds better, but it doesn’t always. You get a lot better results when the compression is added to the tracks before they’re rendered down to a single master.
Apple TV has a similar feature, described simply as "reduce loud sounds".
Sounds interesting. Can we purchase some from you? It's a lot of money so maybe you want some return from?

It's a version of proton with some of the enhancements that the main proton team either won't or haven't added yet. I haven't looked into whether it's an individual dev doing this on their own or if they are affiliated with the proton team. I run the GE versions of proton because they solve some problems I have in certain games without breaking anything. It's my understanding that the proton devs are from the same team as the wine devs and that they have strict rules about introducing new code that doesn't meet certain standards for wine (i.e. affecting more than just games). The GE builds include some of this code that hasn't been integrated yet "in the right way".

This is all just my understanding from reading various discussions, so may be incorrect in whole or in part.
> I am sure Github can do something about that, but they don't want to bother

I mean... Github already answered on this one. They have no tooling for that. He wants burn engineers time to fiddle with database and backups for unimportant reasons? Because someone made a mistake without thinking about consequences? Good luck with that.

Docs mention about forks being detached, but not stars: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-reposi...

And if you leaked something to the net, what are the chances are that it hasn't already been indexed/archived/pulled/seen by someone? Moreso by bad actors that probably looks for this stuff proactively.
But we'd have to be missing a huge number of related strains to make the phylogeny look like that. The important thing isn't that we found a new strain now, it's that the strain is most closely related to very early wildtype.

Sorry for being so ignorant about particularities of American zoning (I hardly know more than what you pick up playing the original Sim City): could it be easier to shift commercial to high density residential? Of course the general threat to owners would still be there, "if we solve the housing crisis my Prophet might stop appreciating like mad". But that's true for any approach short of an October 1917 reenactment.

And are commercial acres actually valued higher than residential across all density ranges? If not, would regulation actually prevent repurposing? If only the latter was true I'd expect The Most American Thing to happen, finger to regulation in the shape of habitation-as-a-service companies (long term lease disguised as hotels) gobbling up unprofitable locations left and right. Call the company Beanberia if you feel particularly uncreative.
