IIRC during the trump era people said the same thing. And intuitively, it is a sort of oppression , but it lasts only 4 years. I 'm not saying we should abandon democracy, but we should be looking into ways to expand people's freedom of action, and uniting everyone under one government is not the way.
I do not think much of the choice on how to do math and not have flags.

We will see over time.

My preference is a hybrid. There are ops we know will repeat a lot. Targeting those with efficient, small instructions will be a win over this every time.

I expect to see that done.

Sing the tool chains all come up as a good thing though. We're heading into interesting times.
I inherited a piece of code that was designed as a state machine and the state machine design basically made the project become pure technical debt as requirements increased over time and engineers had to make it work with the state machine model that had been chosen when the project started.

If the project had instead been designed to have less unnecessary state and “transitions” it would have been a lot easier to make changes.

All those ideas sound good by themselves but they are really bad for “defensive” coding. Good luck selling a project to refactor something when it’s going to take multiple people-years. Once you’ve made the mistake of committing to an inflexible design it’s either that, replace/ignore the thing, or deal with low productivity as long as the thing exists.

I live in Arvada, a suburb of Denver, and it snowed a couple of inches here before Thanksgiving. I guess where they measure this in Denver didn’t get what they consider enough to count as a snowfall. Still a very odd year.
Here in high-density London, we're stuck with ~70mbps ADSL and not even cable.

I apologize, I didn’t mean to make a value statement about whether or not what’s considered a “top tier school” means as much as some folks think it does. That said, schools with big names have bigger endowments and more connections etc so it makes sense. The author also specifically mentions applying to schools where you know faculty doing something that excites you and not going off rankings.

This post is based on a Zoom call he conducted a month or so ago for folks and I signed up and attended.

Otherwise, I totally agree with you. Stipends are very little money, especially if you’re supporting others.

One would hope so. But your unsourced claim isn't especially compelling given that the post you are replying to directly provided evidence to the contrary.

> Copy&paste captures the numeric annotations. I probably should have expected that, but didn't.

That's very likely a browser bug. Think about the accessibility implications (for e.g. screen readers) if ruby text was supposed to be modelled in the DOM as being interpolated into the text it's annotating.

I'm not sure what the standard says about how it should be treated, but my guess is that each annotation should be thought of as alternative for the text it annotates — ala the image "alt" and "srcset" attributes, or ala videos with multiple audio tracks in the same language, where one of those is Described Video or director's commentary or whatever.

In other words, the "correct" behavior would likely be that your browser knows the user's language prefs, and then chooses to select (or copy, or speak, etc.) either the text or its annotation, depending on which one the user is more likely to be able to read/understand.
didn't they get an appraisal at the higher figure before the low appraisal and the subsequent experiment? i don't doubt that this sort of behavior exists, but i also don't follow the argument behind this piece.

maybe the middle appraiser was just bad at their job or pandemic effects were in play? if i'm reading this right, they didn't have to hide their identity for the first high appraisal, right?
This is all well and good, but—again—what you aren't addressing is the (claimed) negative effects of visible downvote counts, mainly (as I understand it) spurious downvote brigades against relatively small/vulnerable creators. These use cases you and others (claim to) care about so much must be weighed against the (claimed) damage done by continuing to support them, so it's not just a question of live and let live.

When downvote brigades are brought up, the first response is always something along the lines of "all engagement is good" and "downvotes aren't a negative signal in the algorithm", the thrust being that downvotes don't actually hurt creators and they're just being a bunch of crybabies. But it is, frankly, totally incoherent to claim this and then turn around and also claim that downvotes are an important signal for deciding which videos to not watch. I hope you can see the contradiction there.

I point this out, and the next claim they trot out is "downvote brigades are rare to the point of being insignificant". To which I say, well, prove it. Prove it, show me the data, and make the case to me that saving X man-hours of wasted time watching unworthy how-to videos is worth crushing Y creators' nascent careers.
The USA probably isn't alone in this regard, but it definitely doesn't sound like it's being the leader in advancing equality these days either. I wonder what this looks like in other countries.
I wish that people writing articles talking about how horrible web3 is tried something other than Ethereum lol. I'm fairly certain that if people's first web3 experience is something that actually works and doesn't cost hundreds of dollars for minor transactions they won't be as put off.

I get downvoted everytime here I bring it up but seriously if people tried something like Solana today compared to Ethereum I'm fairly certain they'd have a much better experience. Yeah, it's currently more centralized, but that really is minor compared to actually being able to use the ecosystem and explore what kinds of applications and products are possible on web3 without the unacceptably high costs and low tx throughputs that Ethereum as an L1 offers. It's no wonder that people are upset with web3 when their first experience is on ETH.

A fundamentally simple approach of using private keys (wallets) as identification for auth purposes is huge, and we're still really early imo as we explore the possibilities with Web3.
I'm pretty sure that would make a huge difference vs Microsoft shuffling the people that preside over basic code hosting services.
For a pretty great introduction on how to structure the FE of a web3 app I would take a look at PancakeSwaps GitHub, they have open sourced almost all of their code and it is pretty well written.

Many projects start as clones of that repo.

As far as use cases are concerned the best source of information has been and always will be the community itself.

All reputable projects produce white papers and they are usually more than happy to discuss questions and concerns in their community discords / telegram.
I worked in real estate and left because the whole industry is built on adverse incentives, rent-seeking, and sticking as many hands in the homeowners equity cookie jar as possible. I found it grotesque.
That's the kind of scenario that I also have in mind. What server and network did you use to serve 40 clients?
For downloads yes, if you account is banned that’s it. Still not perfect. But the games don’t necessarily have DRM on the the downloaded files. I own quite a few games I can just copy/backup their files to a different computer and they launch fine without steam installed. But I tend to only buy indie games so…
Why do you think the virus would all mutate at the same time everywhere? If we let a variant spread, and it mutates in someone there's no system update that will suddenly make the mutation appear in everyone else. It's not a Trojan horse. In reality it would probably just mean that everyone with the earlier less dangerous variant is probably immune or somewhat immune to the new variant if it ever "hops in the opposite direction".
Seems like a waste of time to worry about such things.

That's a wildly belligerent take on what the parent actually said. They never implied in any regard that it was a personal question, using "I" or the equivalent to indicate an interest in personal benefit.
Used the guac to host 100+ sessions for researchers and devs at my previous company. Performed well and using docker made it a breeze to deploy in the cloud and it also tied into my IPA infrastructure nicely for central authentication. I did not play with the screen recording feature though.

I live 2 blocks west of Denver proper and we have had multiple snows this year.

Nope, the 2X upgrade was derailed by an exchange that decided to list both sides (IIRC it was going to be BTC1 and BTC2) and they were motivated by a (possibly rigged) futures market.
Love it!

That said:

"We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser."

So... the web browser is the client software. Why not just come out and say that instead of first calling it fairly misleadingly "clientless"?
You make fat profits in normal years and potentially lose out catastrophically during Great Recesssion-like events. Lots of lenders straight up went bankrupt due to defaults.

Of course since the government made it so you can't discharge student loans in bankruptcy that market isn't functioning anymore.
I am very sensitive to the plight of the white American working class. I'm aware of how the American oligarchs used us to become rich, and then shipped our jobs to third-world countries. There are countless communities of white people that have just flat out died due to this economic betrayal. Many of these areas which have been stripped of industry suffer social blights like heroin use, etc. There are entire areas in America where white people are just killing themselves with drugs because they are completely hopeless. Chris Hedges has written several great books about this. Also, you can look up plenty of documentaries on this subject on YouTube if you are not familiar with this subject.

Do some white people have an unfair advantage in this system? Absolutely. Do all white people have an unfair advantage in this system? Given what has happened to the white working class, I would say that the evidence proves that they don't.

I believe all people are inherently racist. I don't think race is the biggest issue in our nation. I believe class is the central issue, and I can't help but believe that race conflict is a diversion used to avoid class conflict.

A lot of things can be said about the impact that the largest companies have on the web, but on the specific discussion about not breaking URIs, I think they are generally good at keeping, or redirecting, links to content for as long as the content is up.
I agree that living by principles is worthwhile. But so few people do it that it will have so little impact on market forces and inequities that they are wholly irrelevant to the OP topic. You may as well tell us that you've decided to take up flying by flapping your arms.
I honestly couldn't tell whether that flat earth comment was being ironic or not, but I think it's an interesting case study either way. Is a visible YouTube downvote count really the only thing standing between a meaningful number of people and belief that the Earth is flat?

I don't really buy it.

This feels like saying that a five-year MTBF estimate for a disk drive is meaningless until it's been tested for five years. No, we don't truly know if the estimate is correct, but nothing in life is truly known: some level of evidence will be good enough.
2008 was caused by leverage on top of poor quality mortgages. Afaik, that's substantially reined in now.

A lot of people would still be underwater on their mortgages, but a smaller number would default (if central bank rates spiked, it would only impact adjustable rates), and the the spillover onto banks would be substantially less.

Which is how it should be: housing corrections should suck for homeowners, but not topple well-capitalized banks.
i am working on putting a pizero2+solar panel as a hotspot in a tree deep in the nearby forest, you will be able to connect to it and get content

i will put all kinds of public domain data on it, from most of gutenberg books to all kinds lectures encoded with h265

will be so cool to have to go to the middle of the forest to download a book :)

the whole thing should cost no more than 30$ (biggest challenge is to make sure that the battery bursting in flames wont melt the case and set things on fire)
Obviously keeping data off-chain helps if you want mutability. It's also cheaper and faster. I could imagine a social network where only identities are on-chain.
It's also pretty exploitative in the way "becoming a realtor" is marketed to women in particular as a way to "make money fast"
New developers write simple but shortsighted code. It gets the job done, but it will be painful to work with in the future.

Intermediate developers, bitten by their past mistakes, decide to future proof their work. But they don’t just look one or two steps ahead, rather they try to look five steps ahead and identity problems that do not and may never exist. Consequently, they over-engineer, over-abstract, and over-complicate everything. Carmack’s recent “But here we are” speech resonated with me.

Advanced developers identify the right balance for each task between simple and complex, concrete and abstract, and pragmatic and idealistic. In my experience, they favor simple and pragmatic solutions, use abstraction effectively, and can satisfy near-term goals quickly without painting themselves into a corner. “As simple as possible, but not simpler.”

I try to avoid working for tech leads stuck in the second phase, which is not uncommon. If you suggest taking the “ifs and for loops” approach of solving a simple problem with a simple solution, they’ll assume you’re on the wrong side of the bell curve.
I'm with you, I always leave YouTube open in Firefox for listening music and I have your same issues
They do, immediately. I was confused for a second but since the next sentence clarified it I can't see the issue.
> Saying it is all ifs and for-loops is completely true. Everything else, all the abstractions and high level features, are just sugar.

You could just as well say that ifs and for loops are just sugar for gotos and all programming is just gotos.

The reason ifs and for loops are used instead of gotos is that they are very useful abstractions that are easy to reason about and save the programmer lots of mental effort. But they are not the only such abstractions.

To the extent that other abstractions can create problems, it's not because they're really just sugar for ifs and for loops, it's because they are not well crafted abstractions so they are not easy to reason about and don't really save the programmer any mental effort. But there are plenty of abstractions other than ifs and for loops that are well crafted and do save the programmer mental effort, in many cases lots of it.
This doesn't make sense to me. If the appraisal is just a formality then why wouldn't the bank just waive the appraisal entirely? This would save the cost of the appraisal and delight the buyer that they don't have to wiggle around funds or negotiate with the seller to meet an appraisal gap.
I recently bought a home and I was told lenders can't pick the appraisers, they're assigned at random. This is due to regulation changes after 2008. Is that not the case?
yes, i also liked the book The Color of Money by UCI law professor Mehrsa Baradaran.

here's some of her research findings:

"Today, Black families have a median net worth of $11,000 compared to a white family’s median of $141,900. Pew Research Center data reveals that white families have 13 times more wealth than Black families. The wealth gap exists at every income level, with a third of Black families having no assets at all. The perpetuation of poverty is stunning—75 percent of Black children who grow up in families in the bottom wealth category remain in that same category as adults. A 2013 study found that for white families, every additional dollar they earn in income leads to $5.19 in wealth. For Black families, each dollar creates only 69 cents in total wealth. This growing divide perpetuates injustices hard to capture in the latest news of riots and protests. The racial wealth gap is where past injustice breeds present suffering."

our systems are still inherently racist and we are a long ways away from equity.

That doesn't explain why their pricing for generic VMs or bandwidth is so high, or why anybody should want to pay them for that.

It also doesn't really work. Some textile company is going to have some line of business software to run their textile mill. Amazon doesn't provide that. You still have to do labor to configure it. These are the hard things, because they're custom and don't have a huge installed base of people who already encountered and solved all the problems you're going to have. But for the same reason, they're the things AWS doesn't provide.

What they provide is common things like DNS. But DNS is easy to set up and maintain, because it's common, and so already has smooth edges. That's not where the labor was going.
I actually disagree tbh - web browsers are so ubiquitous at this point that I would consider them a core part of the desktop at this point. If I can use just the "core tools" of my OS to access something I would consider that clientless for all intents and purposes
So apparently the US government is very responsive to the concerns of anti-competitive behavior when it's between one corporation versus another.

But they seem particularly apathetic to the privacy considerations, robocalls and all things telemarketing, junk mail, insane product placement, and the blatant manipulation of our dopamine system by such corporations.

Does that sound like something that's going to end the big tech era or just keep driving it further?

I suppose that leads back to my original question. What are the names of the people that control Bitcoin? Should we wait until this group does something that is not in the best interest of Bitcoin holders to find out?
> It just depends on the context and the purpose.

Just looked through the Shortcuts app, it's impossible to deduce context and purpose :D

I do hope they improve this. Even as a tech person, I looked at this and went: nope, no idea what it is, it's intended purposes, or any useful use cases.

BTW. I did finally figure out that the shortcuts my Audi app added can only be used by saying their name exactly, and they will trigger via Siri :D Searching for them doesn't work. "Details" menu item (menu itself is hidden behind long tap) is unavailable etc.
> We should be using state machines and pure functions.

For problems where those are the right tools, sure. But they aren't the right tools for all problems any more than ifs and for loops are.
As I understand it as well. Catching the virus is more likely from touching surfaces coated with the virus then touching one's face, or something similar.

Interesting (though not surprising) that my question above has been downvoted. This is a touchy topic where political alignment sometimes supersedes even the will to reason.
There is nothing "correct", "intrinsic", or "functional" about aging. That's conflating evolution with lack thereof. We evolved to sustain a reproductive cycle and propagate ourselves. That evolutionary optimization has no direct bearing on the specifics of how we age. What we know about aging so far indicates that it's an accidental byproduct of many side effects of the functions of our systems, including the hormonal system that governs puberty, the immune system, the metabolic system, and the higher order DNA management systems (epigenetic programming and replication). None of those side effects are in any known way selected for by evolution, and most of them seem to be tunable to achieve far more durability or regenerative capacity out of our bodies than we are currently used to. Multicellular aging is a collection of random side effects that vary between species - there are many animal species that are effectively immortal.
It's clear in the area where I live that the poorest urban areas have the highest tax rates. The cost of government doesn't seem to be proportional to the tax base, so the taxes are higher with respect to assessments, and people who can, move out of the jurisdiction, making it worse over time.

In order to solve the problem, it seems important to ascertain whether it's institutional racism or direct discrimination.

I don't know the answer to why local government can't function on a fixed percentage of the tax base everywhere. Something that made an impression on me years ago, was how a bike trail ran from a well-off suburb into a small city, and after a snowfall, the plowing stopped exactly at the city limits. They had, and have, about the highest tax rates anywhere but they basically did not plow.

In the data set you reference, I wonder how they deal with different owners grieving (or not) their assessment.
Aren't the taxes in the vast majority of cities determined exclusively by Democrats?

Edit: Looks like only a strong majority as opposed to the vast majority: https://ballotpedia.org/Party_affiliation_of_the_mayors_of_t...
I’ve thought about this, too. Sadly, times only started being recorded in the last 20 years and last time I tried I couldn’t find a large dataset with the times included.

Chess.com did do one study and found a large percentage of mistakes occurs in moves 36-40 because in some time controls additional time is added at move 40.
