The counter argument to this are the Creator 3-in-1 sets. The whole point of these sets is to take apart and rebuild something different, teaching by example the different things you can do. These didn't even exist when we were kids (first released 2003). I remember some of my old sets having supplemental build instructions, but I also recall them never being as interesting as the main build, which isn't true with these 3-in-1's. Plain buckets are also still sold. Both of these are on the shelves of Target and Walmart, and are often featured as Christmas gifts at places that just stock them seasonally, like Costco. Lego has just as many of these sort of sets as it always has, if not more.

First off I don't think the existence of large, expensive adult-targeted "display model" kits doesn't really detract from what is happening in the kids sets.

On the kids sets, Lego is doing a lot more licensed sets than in the past, and these inevitably have more custom pieces. But I think adults really over-estimate the negative impact this has on reuse and creativity. The first thing the kid in me thinks when I see that kit you listed is "How can I build a ramp at the end of that slide?" "How can I extend the slide at the top to make them go faster?". Sometimes pieces having having a purpose can prompt ideas and creativity. Sure those big ice blocks will only every be used for ice/glass, but there are lots of things you can build with ice/glass especially when playing with Frozen characters. Many of the custom pieces in licensed sets are just flourishes (like that snowflake or ice-flame) which are fun things you can add to your model, and 80-90's kits definitely had those as well. I think the biggest obstacle to reuse on that kit is just that it is a small kit - it really needs to be combined with other kits do do interesting things (and for which reason I don't think they should have included those large ice blocks in this particular kit, as that just exacerbates that problem - they would be fine in a larger kit). And again, I remember getting bored with small kits received as a kid after a few days of play (visiting grandparents), and looking forward to getting home and combining some of the cool new pieces with the Legos I already had.

In other words, the licensed kits are the equivalent of the castle and pirate kits we had as kids, with the exact same complaints. I think those complaints were overblown then and they still are now.
There have been several small studies which show fluvoxamine is an effective COVID-19 treatment.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=covid+fluvoxamine

Results are still somewhat preliminary and it isn't formally approved for that use but I know that many physicians are prescribing it off label and report positive results. The safety profile is good as a temporary acute treatment so there's little reason not to use it.
Someone else linked that one, it's hilarious and unsurprising really. Lots of people purposefully avoid certain OSes (mostly linux distros) as well out of respect NOT because of population/userbase of the OS. Lots of discussion on worm/trojan development forums over the years.
I remember seeing their videos mimicking Rankin/Bass and (at least initially) did not believe that they were done in Blender. They looked so much like the actual stop motion that it just didn't seem right.

After a minute or two I would occasionally find something that looked "CG-ish", but I wouldn't have found anything if I weren't looking.

It's amazing how good Blender has gotten.
> Also, a lot of beginners are perplexed why vi uses "hjkl" keys for cursor movement.

I really don't understand why people get hung up on this. Vim supports arrow keys. hjkl are convenient alternatives but if you're at the point of not being comfortable switching between normal and insert mode just use the arrow keys. Insisting othereise is insisting you learn everything at once, which is demotivating and unnecessary.

Arrow keys are more versatile too. They do the behavior you expect in pretty much any mode.
It's not like they were completely unusable, it's just showing text in an annoying way.

> LOL that's some serious spin. "Amazon policy of having the lowest price" = Amazon punishes any listings if they discover off-amazon channels with lower prices

Is it spin? Amazon's policy is that they can't list on Amazon at a higher price [1]. So they want to charge a higher price on Amazon, but they can't. How do consumers win with them charging higher prices on Amazon?

> * Conversely, never use white! Modern macOS sucks at this! A large window of Mail.app in light mode is pretty blinding. What if you want to add a subtle highlight to a button border on a white background? #fafafa was always a go-to white for me because its easy to remember.

I always thought the grey window backgrounds used by the Classic Mac OS Platinum appearance were great for this. Bright enough to not be dingy and depressing like the more middle-greys used by Win9x, but dark enough to not be blinding, and also dark enough to use actual black for text to maintain high contrast ratios.

Platinum was designed at the height of CRTs, which were considerably brighter and higher contrast compared to the LCDs that followed them — even run of the mill budget CRTs outperformed the average early LCD, and consumer LCDs didn’t really catch up for a good 10-15 years after CRTs went out of style (in some aspects, LCDs are still playing catch-up). I wonder how much the hardware was responsible for shaping screen content design trends.

> It honestly does seem far better for everyone if people have children in their 20s.

There are lots of tradeoffs. On the one hand yes, maybe it means the kids will be out of the house before you start having to deal with parents. On the other hand it's quite likely to be bad financially, as in many cases you'll be down to one income and slower growth in that income during those critical 20s and 30s. That can leave you a bit strapped when you have to pay for college costs and parental-care costs and eventually your own retirement. I had my daughter at 39 and retired at 55. Without that last 10 years of income from my wife and rapid income growth for me, plus the magic of compound interest, I'm pretty sure I'd still be working and none of us would be any happier for it.

It's all very personal, obviously, which is precisely why I don't think one can (or should) generalize about an ideal age to have children.

> 0.012 would be too low to be a CFR.

0.012 is the San Francisco CFR. 0.016 is the USA CFR, if we go by confirmed cases/deaths as reported by the New York Times.

The IFR should be substantially lower than either of these; many deaths go uncounted, but a far larger proportion of infections never get a confirmed positive test. I would guess IFR to be in the 0.004–0.008 range. (Which is still scary high!) I’m sure if you do a search of the academic literature you can find more careful analysis and better informed estimates. It obviously varies from place to place and is substantially dependent on demographics and availability of medical care.

* * *

Florida was a bloodbath! It has had among the worst outcomes anywhere in the USA since mid 2021. Tens of thousands of avoidable deaths after the universal free availability of extremely effective vaccines and better understanding of viral transmission. The state government not only stopped any state-level public health action, it actively prevented state/local public health departments and local governments from acting. It is hard to imagine a more complete failure of state leadership.

Florida has had something like 4x more Covid deaths than San Francisco, per capita. And if we only look at deaths after widespread vaccine availability, Florida has had >10x more.

Of course, the virus eventually burned through a large majority of the unvaccinated population, and without enough remaining hosts to infect, flamed out. Fingers crossed that future virus variants don’t have enough immune escape to burn back through the state again.
This should be the foundation for all teacher training: spend most of your time sitting with small groups of kids at various ages and try to teach them concepts that are obviously beyond their current knowledge. Take copious notes. Patterns will emerge, and you’ll develop an intuition about what sticks and what doesn’t.

I have no formal education in physics or metaphysics or anything but it has long seemed obvious to me that reality is infinitely fractal in both the macro and micro. whenever a new particle or whatever is discovered, it seems like many people get excited that we're on the verge of understanding the elementary fundamental building blocks of reality or something, when I can't see any reason not to believe that reality will continue to be fractal infinitely when "zooming in."

if one can accept this, then one can accept that any perceptions about reality he may have can only be at best a "useful model," and such models should be constantly updated in response to new data and observations. of course, this means that there is quite a bit of incentive in deliberately shaping the models people use to perceive reality...
> is an equally-capable blank slate.

It seems like tabula rasa idealism has made a serious resurgence in leftist and liberal circles and the scary thing is that nobody (other than extremists saying nonsense) is really talking about this explicitly. Somehow we went from a bunch of stuff being cultural constructs to literally everything is a cultural construct and then this somehow became extremely widespread in no time at all. We need to have this conversation out-loud.

I wholeheartedly agree with your point, but there is no "somewhat" about it. The differences can be and often are stark, and we shouldn't shy away from saying that if we want an honest and productive conversation. It does not exclude the also-true fact that good education, practice, and other controllable environmental factors play an important role.
Nano and almost everything here you listed (without vim bindings) are not modal editors.

Here's some other professional advice: people liked vim because it is modal, that means the coding process itself can be automated, scripted on, insanely fast and can completely forego mouse/touchpad input.

Vim bindings by themselves are great, but they are not fully vim, for instance, most vim bindings including this website does not support `:norm`
I had two different Physics teachers/classes in high school.

One was almost entirely conceptual and provided a fantastic base with which to reason about the world. Everything was explained completely without math and then a little bit of math (usually no higher than basic algebra) was used to describe what we had just developed to fulfill basic requirements of the curriculum. People had wonderful conversations about how things worked and understanding was developed from observation and intuition.

The other was almost completely the opposite direction and calculus based. I often found errors in the application of math and reasoning about the subject. There was a moment where the teacher couldn't be convinced that something he said was wrong because of the math he was looking at. Years later, in a college Physics course, a similar core concept was covered and I was internally vindicated.

Einstein/Feynman were known to be highly conceptual and the math was often worked out after a thought experiment. A famous quote by Einstein, "Do not worry too much about your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you that mine are still greater."

It all depends on how it is taught.

All of that being said, Mathematics is an excellent tool to sharpen ones ability to reason.
On the hjkl thing, I think it's also good to explain why it was a good idea that the ADM-3A used hjkl, and that's because it allows directional navigation (an extremely common operation) without moving your fingers away from their "home row" position.

So vi/vim use those keys not /only/ because some old terminal, but because some old terminal used those keys /and/ there was a benefit to it.

All the implementation I know of all does the same thing: they expand the compressed instruction into a non-compressed instruction. For all (most?), this required an additional stage in the decoder. So in that sense, supporting C mean a slight increase in the branch mispredict penalty, but the instruction itself takes the same path with the same latency regardless of it being compressed or not.

Completely aside, compressed instruction hurt in a completely different way: as specified RISC-V happily allows instructions to be split across two cache lines, which could be from two different pages even. THIS is a royal pain in the ass and rules out certain implementation tricks. Also, the variable length instructions means more stages before you can act on the stream, including for example rename them. However a key point here is that it isn't a per-instruction penalty, it a penalty paid for all instruction if the pipeline support any variable length instructions.
There is an excellent and extensive range of Creator 3-in-1 sets, as well as the entire Classic line which encourages specifically this. For the themed sets, they stopped including ideas on the back of the box because people would complain that instructions weren't included.
Your question has been answered by a German appellate court in 1959 in regard to a smallpox vaccination mandate, in BVerwG I C 170.56 paragraph 21.

Wikipedia says there are cases pending in German supreme court regarding a recent measles vaccination mandate; the court has so far refused to issue a preliminary injunction against the mandate and left the question open for decision in the main trial (see paragraph 18).

>When private information or media has been shared on Twitter, we need a first-person report or a report from an authorized representative in order to make the determination that the image or video has been shared without their permission.

This paragraph wouldn't even make sense if you had to provide proof on upload. Unless this is to say the uploaded proof was counterfeit or something?

>When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authorized representative, that they did not consent to having their private image or video shared, we will remove it.

> As a whole I think people need to ask what money is again and have some serious conversations about what money and the monetary system should be.

Money is not some concrete thing that has some inherent value. It's never been that. It's always been a promise, an abstract thing backed by collective trust.

Fractional reserve banking was not a coup d'etat of an elite few performed to disenfranchise the 99% in order to ballast the 1%. It was a considered decision by rational actors and was necessary to enable economic growth since its introduction.

In many ways it's wonderful that the current generation is questioning the old ways of doing things. This is how progress is made. I'm down. But money, government, everything which is the product of historical trial-and-error is a Chesterson's Fence: you really do need to understand why it's there before you try to rip it out and replace it with something else. And it's just so clear to me that basically nobody trying to replace fiat currency with crypto or whatever actually understands why fiat came to be.

Knowledge between modern editors and IDEs is generally highly transferrable. You don’t magically forget how to copy / paste when going from Pycharm -> VScode.
What’s obvious is economic misunderstanding.

The resources “misallocated” in luxury goods motivate and teach us to make better mass goods. The car industry is a great example. luxury vehicles have driven R&D that have made cars safer and cleaner (disc breaks, fuel injection). Tesla has put electric cars just within reach for all by charging rich people for what were (are?) bad cars with lots of status signing

Jewelry is a form of art and of adding beauty to our everyday life. I will not apologize for the $80 pearl studs my girls wear, or my wife’s shawl.

Nor is it tenable that money used on a luxury item represent resources taken away from the poor. The resources to make a Lexus or a Toyota are largely the same.

Sure, I could buy a Nissan (btw, I drive a six year old Kia and a used base manual 2013 Golf) and send a cheque to Africa. But I’ll raise you - you can drop every expenditure you have except basic needs and send the money to Africa. Like my ethic professor pointed out, that $5 beer is five child-days.

Unless you’re willing to live like an African, your position is hypocritical - jealousy masked with self righteousness. Philosophers who feel better than other, richer, people because they’ve explained away their own behavior.
