The perspective is reasonable, but the tone is sarcastic and combative. Much as we might wish otherwise, humans are not beings of pure logic, and when we are 'attacked', especially in public, we shut down and become unresponsive to even quite reasonable feedback. Your rephrasing of the comment does not come with this emotional barb and is infinitely better for it.

I've seen the argument that in order to engage on the internet you should be thick-skinned and prepared to take a certain amount of sharp criticism if you put your work forward for comment, and that's all true, but equally, as commenters, what are we here for if not to present our own thoughts and ideas in a convincing way? If someone makes a comment in a way that they know is not going to be seriously considered by the person they're responding to, all they're doing is showboating for folks who already agree with them.
Apple wins crucial delay to proposed app store changes in Epic court case battle
> the 60% office is not a good place to work

Why?

I've worked in person, ~40% remote, and 100% remote. I thoughtv~40% remote was far and away the best work situation. The only necessary component to make it work was that my team had to be there on the same days. So far as I can tell, for trust building and certain kinds of collaborative work (some of which is super important) nothing beats in person. Given that the survery results indicate most people still don't want full remote, why wouldn't they go with a mixed in-person/remote setup?

Regarding 3. NFTs don't tell you what the data is, only what they point to.

Unless Ubisoft and everyone else involved made their database visible before they update it, everytime they add a new item you'd have a period where you don't have a mapped item to correspond to it.

The "it could be done" is hand waving away a lot of things. You don't address why it would make sense for a third party to have a corresponding asset to ubisofts. Where's their financial incentive to put in that work? They're not getting the money to support it.

Again, you're not thinking through all the aspects fully.

Possible explanation: People who become physicians do so for wrong reasons. Medicine is highly paid, high status field and thus attracts people who are reasonably smart and just want to have a good life, but are, in the end, not very internally motivated to keep studying their field. Better system would select for people who are more geeky and like to read the new antibiotic studies for fun, much like many developers do stuff like write their own compilers and file systems for fun.

Climate change is real, for sure, but we don't need to book-keep every single source of CO2 emission.

Data centers are a blip when it comes to CO2 emissions. That's why companies like microsoft and google can earn good citizen points by purchasing offsets. It doesn't cost a lot of money to offset because they aren't emitting a lot of CO2 in the grand scheme of things.

Amazon's logistics emit WAY more CO2 than AWS does. It's not even close.

>Do not conflate general human progress of what's available with more knowledge, science, and basic technology

You seem to imagine that these things magically just appeared. They were created because humans with money invested in them.

>China is arguably just as technologically advanced as the US.

China stole every single thing it had from the US. They have developed almost zero technology. (You could very nearly say the same for Europe, though they are less socialist than China and so have developed some things on their own - barely). This is always the way. Countries with authoritarian, dominating governments never develop anything - they can't. They can only steal and destroy, they can't create. Individuals develop new things and push humanity forward and only countries that empower individuals can create.

You need to ask the question about why humans have progressed so much, and why all that advancement happened in certain places only and not others.

Hi! Great questions :)

First of all, SyncedStore does not implement any CRDT algorithms. Credits for this go to Yjs [1] (and its author Kevin), which it uses as underlying CRDT.

Yjs and Automerge are (afaik) the two most commonly used CRDT implementations. Both have their pros and cons, but Yjs has focused a lot on performance [2].

Automerge has a bit friendlier "Immer style" [3] API. I'm not too familiar with @localfirst/state, but it seems to add a Redux style API on top of Automerge.

My approach with SyncedStore was really to provide an API on top of Yjs that's as simple as possible to use in React / Vue / Svelte or plain JS app. I.e.: only use a single React Hook to observe changes, and use regular Javascript assigments to update values. The API is inspired mostly by Reactive Programming libraries such as MobX [4] (from the same author as Immer).

Hope you're still following along :) Maybe it helps to compare the TODO-MVC applications, as both SyncedStore (https://github.com/YousefED/SyncedStore/tree/main/examples) and @localfirst/state (https://github.com/local-first-web/state/tree/main/examples/...) have implemented these as examples!

Actually I think any organism or group that can balance certainty and observation is peak.

But of course it's better to prevent the condition in the first place.
Progress I'd like to see, a toggle to deny all push notification requests... and the modal that precedes the permission request.

Alas, since asking for push notification permissions requires a user gesture, it wouldn't actually keep 1/6th the pages in the world from opening a spammy "can we notify you" box, which, should you hit yes, THEN opens the permissions. "Oh too many pages are asking for permissions..." "I know, let's make the page have to ask for permission to ask permission" :unicode-squirt-gun: :head:

IMO the whole permissions experience on the web is wrong/crap. The browsers all knew that unless asking for permissions brought up big bold obnoxious browser prompts, many many users would simply not have any idea the page was even asking. But that got to be out of hand, so then we had to make asking for permissions require a click or interaction, need a "use gesture" to kick off.

IMO we've failed by trying to serve everyone. That we are too afraid to make interfaces for good/advanced users is a tragedy. We insist on making only blunted instrument. So the whole experience is such crap.

Ideally there'd be a little permission requests icon with a number by it, or something in the awesome-bar/address-bar that shows: hey, I can do these things. Enable me if you want. Rather than modal & bold, a transactional thing, the page is just ambiently broadcasting what permissions it's happy to make use of. Users can selectively opt in/out whenever they feel like it. Yeah this site has been good, let me subscribe to their feed, let me add notifications. Oh this site can use my gyros/compass? Cool, I'll try that. Rather than the page making a request & expecting an answer, I just want the page to ambiently have requests open, the user not to be prompted but to have some means of checking what's ambiently available, opting in. Yes, many users would simply never know. Perhaps we need a bifurcated experience, options in our browers, browsers built for more discerning users: something we haven't dared do in a long long time. But by compare the current model of permissions is aggressively crappy & a huge attention hog. Simply being able to turn them off would be a help, but we'd still have to suffer the same egrious visual spam that stupid user-gesture requirements have wrought anyways. What a fuck up, what an awful local minima we're trapped in.
"Hay Poodle" seems, if not quite as good, to be in the same spirit.
Anecdotally, every client that rejected a PWA approach has been due to insisting on push notifications. These apps are typically internal employee apps and the push notifications are important alerts that they do not want lost in the shuffle of emails.
Worth the subscription fee for sure
It was amusing, but what pushovers these people are. No way would I have paid that bill. But, also, I would have left after the first 25 minutes, and never had this bizarre experience to write about.
One thing I hear cited often is the way antibiotics are widely used in animal agriculture to boost margins by helping keep more animals alive in the lowest cost living conditions (often squalid and unhealthy for the animal). This is antibiotic abuse on a massive scale, for the profit of private individuals. :facepalm:
Isn’t this paper actually debunking that argument (That overuse of antibiotics has increased antibiotic resistance)? The paper says that resistance didn’t diminish when antibiotic use was decreased. It seems that our common understanding of how resistance develops was incorrect, at least partially.
> There is also the tradeoff of non-leaded solder wire that needs higher temperatures. To compensate you would need to use more flux and that flux is a significant threat to your lungs.

From what I've read, I did learn that this is an issue. I'm trying to get a setup going at home, and I've been debating on what to do. I know the lead solder can be mitigated and issues only come from handling it (and not breathing it in), but it gets tougher with things I can't control like kids and pets. Also, what do you do with the parts you've soldered? Does handling these not expose you to lead? I think disposal is still an issue.

I think part of my lament is that there just isn't a lot of pressure to find better solder materials for non-industrial use. I'm assuming industrial use has solved problems. Although I can be careful with lead solder at home, it still feels wrong to be buying it and then disposing of it, even through the proper recycling/disposal channels. Lastly, I actually didn't realize until recently that solder had such significant lead portions in it (if I did, I forgot), which means that all the times I handled it at work (admittedly infrequent) was done without that knowledge. That's on me, but that was part of my point that it's in things that may not be clear to people.
To add another anecdote from the perspective of living in two countries - the recommendations we get from doctors in each country are often polar opposites of each other. Drugs available over the counter in one country are outlawed in the other, and vice versa. Information from a trustworthy source in one language is called pseudoscience in the other, and vice versa. Meanwhile, the health outcomes do not seem to be significantly different in either place. I am less and less convinced by anything my doctor says, in any language.

Aside: those alphabetical O's you used instead of zeros are super jarring!
Yep. But there are two different active projects for compiling Rust with a GCC backend at the moment (one as a completely new frontend written as part of the GCC codebase, one as a libgccjit backend for the existing Rustc), there's also a Cranelift backend for rustc that you could add new architecture support to, and LLVM does add new targets, it can just take a bit longer to get support into LLVM and they don't keep architectures that are lightly or unmaintained around as long as GCC does.

For instance, Tier 3 support for m68k-unknown-linux-gnu was recently stabilized in rustc as a result of m68k support landing in LLVM (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#co...), which has been one of the previous sticking points for Rust packaging on Linux distros, some of which still support m68k architectures.
> I don't know about their cordless stuff but aren't their corded vacuums considered the best?

Not really. They're not bad, but they're very expensive. You can get something comparable (Shark) for cheaper, or something better (Miele) for the same money.

And Dyson has said that they're not making any new corded vacuums, they're focusing on cordless now.
I read the study, it's a few pages-long PDF with no description of computational methodology, no indication of the statistical approaches taken, and no justification for the arbitrary decisions made by the people who carried out the study.

The criteria for inclusion in the study:

> Hospitalized adults aged ≥18 years with COVID-19–like illness were included if they had received testing at least twice: once associated with a COVID-19–like illness hospitalization during January–September 2021 and at least once earlier (since February 1, 2020, and ≥14 days before that hospitalization).

This is a terrible methodology. It says nothing of a positive or negative test result, and the duration of time in between hospitalization and testing is absurdly arbitrary. It is simply assumed to be a COVID infection with no reasoning for this decision.

We've then got this nugget:

> Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was identi-fied among 324 (5.1%) of 6,328 fully vaccinated persons and among 89 of 1,020 (8.7%) unvaccinated, previously infected persons

Perhaps they should have found 5,000 more unvaccinated people before concluding their study. They are not hard to find.

> Do you genuinely believe a study with such a massive and obvious methodology problem would get published and cited by the CDC?

This is a joke, right? The CDC are frequently derided for their terrible methodologies and this goes back for decades. Not an uncommon outcome where you are an inherently political organization that is also in charge of distributing enormous sums for research funding. So of course, I would expect a terrible study like this from the CDC.

You're actually going to compare this crap-tastic shitfest of a study with the rock-solid study I provided, containing ~3mil participants and a far more verbose & informative outline of the study's methodology?
It is the same old thing, they became successful doing X and that works great until X isn't the optimal thing. However, after 50 years doing the same thing, they are a one trick pony.

Also, the A-10 is one heck of a plane and always my favorite. Largest caliber nose cannon and the ability to limp back to base on one engine and one rudder is so freaking cool. There is a National Guard base nearby and it is so cool watching them do flybys on the small mountains.
I just opened the front pages of CNN, Fox News, BBC News and NBC News and found the Maxwell case either completely uncovered on the front pages, opinion-only coverage, coverage of only this particular Twitter story, tabloid nonsense or coverage buried so far down the page in a sidebar it may as well not be there.

That seems pretty poor to me for such a high profile case.

Apple was forced to admit that its efforts to develop a next generation operating system failed so they looked around and after considering both BeOS and NeXT Apple bought NeXT and began work on what would be called Mac OS X which is what many of you used to read this.

Hi zxienin. I'm a GitHub product manager. May I assume the GitHub instances you're describing are GitHub Enterprise Server instances? We plan to bring advanced code search features to all GitHub plans including Enterprise Server once we've stabilized the UX and feature set. But it sounds like your situation goes beyond that, where the search needs to include code from Git repositories outside of GitHub Enterprise Server. That makes good sense, and we'll definitely consider it. If you want to keep in touch about it, please feel free to post in our feedback forum: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/categories/co.... Thank you!

An important corollary is that if you mistakenly attempt to rationally evaluate a program when everyone expects backslapping... then it's going to come across as a declaration of abject failure.

When stakeholders expect victory to look rosy, and instead it looks balanced then they'll believe something went wrong.

Human's aren't the only species to do this. Yes, we are doing it at a novel scale, but boom/bust cycles of overpopulation are common in species that do not participate in a free exchange of goods and services.

Deer are a well studied example of a species that will expand beyond the ecosystem's natural carrying capacity - followed by a season where their population collapses from starvation. But deer do not chase profit.

I like to cut humans a bit of slack here. We are the first species I know of to identify we are exceeding our ecosystems carrying capacity and attempt to modify our own behavior to mitigate the looming bust cycle.

The worst thing I can say about humans is that we are collectively smart enough to identify we are causing damage to the ecosystem on a global scale but - so far - we are not collectively smart enough to effectively stop it. Though I think in time we will find we can curb this, and we will be smart enough to get through whatever damage we cause along the way.

Ignoring the context, and speaking only to the math, the two examples you give are not analogous.

In a geometric mean, picking a number below 1 is the equivalent of picking a negative number in the arithmetic mean. The multiplicative identity is 1, and the additive identity is 0. Going below 1 for the geometric mean is like going below 0 in the arithmetic mean. So mathematically, you do not have a guarantee with the arithmetic mean either.

Of course, in your case, the numbers aren't allowed to be negative. Either approach you take, there is some "contextual" bias going on.
I think that app triggered the inspiration to do this. So I would think what they deliver will be similar or have some feature parity.
