This article does not mention education as the cause, which I personally has to be the most important cause of declining creativity across the American society. My older daughter is in 2nd grade. I think from my eyes that the STEM education is about fun, not the hard-and-cold reasoning. For example, algebra is taught with tricks, not simply what they are, and the ugly rules that underpins those human invention (math is a human invention of describing the physical world).

And as Ray Dalio mentioned, education is not a federal responsibility, nor is the federal government allowed to exercise influence. Then we are left with declining education across the board.

It's just not possible to revert the trend, if the root of everything was allowed to be ignored. One cannot fix a sinking building by fixing anything other than the foundation!
I don't think its a given that WeChat is fundamentally the "right" UX and the west is behind.

The cultural/regulatory differences between china and western (free) countries means that (1) different models thrive differently and (2) pressure to centralize delivery through WeChat is there from the gov in china but not for the rest of the world. I think FB would love to be WeChat to avoid the App Store, but i'm not sure users would actually prefer that.
It was the 2007/2008 Financial meltdown where US Real Estate and Leman brothers collapse. Oil went crazy (Tar Sands) and Canada was able to weather virtually unscathed (due to strict mortgage and banking rules. The CAD went from trading at like .81 USD to 1.18 USD withing a year (if memory serves me correctly).
Since I learned to write semantic class names, and to compose using scss or react components, Tailwind feels like it would be a big step back. I get that it would be kind of nice to prototype in, but is anybody here using it for complex apps or UIs?
Thanks for sharing this! I just implemented this.

I didn't realize uBlock had this capability. It runs faster than other extensions I've tried. Cheers!

The US healthcare system has just enough private ownership to allow private interests to profit from it, just enough public involvement to get taxpayers to pay for it, and just enough regulation in the right places to conceal who pays for treatment and to disconnect incentives.

Go all public and expand Medicare and move to a single-payer system like Canada and the UK. Or go all private by killing Medicare altogether, fixing Medicaid as a public backstop, and heavily regulating pricing and doctors' salaries and insurance premiums like Germany and Switzerland. But anything is more humane than the weird mix the US has come up with.
I wonder if some are even portable. I would love to have Windwaker HD on Switch but I remember the touchpad screen being pretty integral (and part of why it was a lot better than the original)
The demo corpus there just contains documents about countries and capital cities. So you could try asking questions like "What's the climate of Beijing?" or "How many people live in the capital of the US?".

The term you're looking for is social market economy or rhine capitalism [1]

The core idea is that we see the market as a means to an end, not some end in itself. When the market is incompatible with societal good, the market needs to change, not society.

A market by itself only optimizes for maximum profits for shareholders, at the expense of everything else. Often, you want your economy to optimize for different things, so you direct the market to support your goals.

It's the root cause why inequality is so much worse in the US, why you have a much bigger housing crisis, why health care in the US is such a mess, why there's homeless people everywhere etc etc.

Yeah, the current political coverage really seems pro-Trump and anti-Biden. Biden's job creation is pitiful at 210K, where Trump's 200K was most excellent.

Super obvious general pro-Trump bias obvious. Also, every issue is given a conservative frame, which is really weird. I think that arises from conservatives screaming "liberal bias" for 40 years, and the media bending over backwards to try to placate conservatives. Conservatives in turn, have realized that they can continue to scream "liberal bias" and get more favorable treatment. The media reinforce bad-faith claims of "fake news" or "liberal bias".
Yet the death certificate, obituary, etc, have not been shown. No statement from any family members, no headstone. Just a picture from a friend of this alleged urn

Browser automation is nice for some projects, but when I used it I felt limited by the speed and inability to integrate captcha solving.

Have you used selenium IDE browser extension? If you do a lot of browser automation it’s a life saver.

They predicted a huge wave even after a vaccination programme? Really? When exactly did they "predict" this wave - can you cite that? Or is this one of those cases where modellers "predicted" something that was already happening.
Yeah. I would make a simple common-sense addition, that this commenting is their primary source of income.
Immigration is an interesting topic.

I’d love to move from Europe to the US to work on new ideas and companies, however while countries like Australia try to attract people like me (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/v...), there is not even an entrepreneur visa in the US.

The best thing I can hope for is to win the Greencard lottery, which is crazy if you consider that highly qualified immigrants are such a big contributor to economic growth (https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/jones-ben/htm/I...).
How do you take a “massive loss” on covered calls being exercised? They have defined risk, you give up some potential upside to collect premium. If they are exercised, the underlying is called away.

Selling naked calls has a lot more risk, see the blowup of optionsellers.com on naked natural gas options
Would building a Play Store search index that contains metadata and snippets (just like Google itself) be considered "redistributing" that content?

Hasn't Google itself argued that such activities are explicitly not redistribution?
You make one very important point: code that accumulates over many years. Not least in libraries you depend on (which make up a significant part of a lot of non-trivial code).

This is is bad in every language as it often means you get code that was written for a different version of the language. But for C++ it is particularly bad because C++ has spent so many years not even getting the most basic things right.

And when I say basics, I mean things like a string type that people will consistently use.
this is not about me. it is about keeping the kernel tree reasonably accessible for small startups and device creators who do not have the funding of FAANGs and cannot afford to take on more complexity on top of something that is already very complex.
Software dev salaries are going up quite a bit. And when I was 17 I probably had enough experience doing software dev to justify getting hired. It's even easier today to get relevant experience at that age. I don't really see it as all that surprising.

For those that don't know, the laundry list of new stuff is probably all enabled by the first item in the list, just-in-time compilation. This means anything they can dream up can be included as a utility class, without bloating the compile time of the 99% of projects that will never use the feature (also without bloating the css package size, but that's not new since shaking out dead classes for prod has been a thing since forever).
I understand your concern, but you're advocating for a form of security-through-obscurity. Data harvesting of this information is already available to bad actors. If information must be private for security reasons, it should not be in the public court records in the first place.
very apt because that does accurately describe my feelings when looking at my code
Ooohhh ... That's gonna leave a mark ...
Yup. And then charge you a dollar a page to make copies.
"The best objection to everything that I’ve written so far is that there exists a world where young people tend to be in control, where regulatory burdens aren’t blocking megaprojects, and where new ideas are generally cherished and even, perhaps, fetishized. It’s the internet—or, more specific, the software industry. If you are working on AI, or crypto, or virtual reality, you probably aren’t starved for new ideas. You very well may be drowning in them."

I'm glad our industry's PR is working.
My guess, without looking at the data, would be that this is one of those things that's true if you don't count FICA (i.e. Social Security + Medicare) as a tax, but false if you do count those as taxes.
Because most people genuinely aren’t aware of this, and labor under the impression a US citizen/journalist was randomly butchered by the powers of evil.

An immensely wealthy, heavily connected Saudi political actor got taken out by a new Saudi ruler asserting himself.

I am personally not okay with foreign nobles attempting to hide behind the same label as eg Assange, it’s fucking absurd.
There's also the youtube subscription page. https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

If you only use youtube to watch videos posted by your subscribed channels, then go to the page that youtube fills exclusively with all of the videos posted by your subscribed channels. It's wild to me how many people use the homepage to consume their subscriptions.
I know from personal experience, cat's use a lot of inflection in their voices. I'm not at all surprised by the images (though I don't know exactly what they mean). This inflection directly effects the image, because it modulates the pitch of the meow. Another factor, completely unrepresented in these images is the lower frequency components connected by seconds of silence. Most cats are pretty quiet, but sometimes they get the oral equivalent of the zoomies.

I would love to see more examples across species and variants of felines, under controlled conditions. Could you figure out an appropriate color map?

Not to start a dog vs cat war, but as someone who loves both, I think I can safely say that cats put much more information in their voices than dogs, for example.
Since they deemed it a “commute,” I don’t think any of those ideas apply. Just like how they can’t stop faulty stop lights on a real commute.
If you can explain any part of this statement and how any of it proves that Byuu is dead, it would be appreciated
The books (it's a series) are amazing, well worth it.

The TV show is at best the equivalent of a 9th grader who picked up the cliff's notes, got bored halfway through those, and then wrote a book report. Some of the characters are there, and it's sci-fi, and that's about where the similarities end.

This is way cool!! I don’t have any deep questions yet, but to start I’m a bit curious about some very minor things like the name and description. I’m curious why “stack graph” as opposed to “call graph” or “callstack graph” or something like that, I’m guessing you do have some thoughts there. Also curious about the way you described it, the process overall certainly sounds a lot like parsing, compiling, and linking at the end, but you haven’t really used that analogy. I guess I’m just wondering if you’re framing the name and description carefully and if there are specific reasons you’d be willing to discuss.
>We do have one thing we can look at as a comparison: trains. People still don't like long train rides where you have pretty convenient access to food and drinks - along with a comfortable temperature and spacious seating.

Part of the problem can be frequency. You have to factor in the time spent waiting at the station and changing between trains. If you can just walk to the station and not have to consult a timetable because you know there'll be one coming by within 5-10 minutes, that's a much more attractive proposition than having your whole day ruined because you arrived too late and the next one isn't for 2 hours. It could be the most comfortable train in the world and it wouldn't make up for that inconvenience.
Well, it's a walled garden. Half of it locked down in the name of security. (While "free VPN"[0] apps steal your data while you play 30 seconds of some "game".) The other half is for performance and "consistent user experience" reasons. Oh, the remaining is just the battery saver killing everything for good measure. The docs are shit. The IDE is okay, but the build system, tooling, emulator and everything provided by Google (Flutter stuff! Flutter web!) always turns out to be just a bunch of interdependent unfinished binary blobs with a laughably DIY "installer".

Sure, devs get used to it fast and can be productive in no time. But it's ridiculous how much hoops they invent out of sheer corporate-ness. (Importing projects? Nah, it never works on the first time. Upgrading projects? That basically only works if you recently sacrificed someone's firstborn. Adding some 3rd party library and getting the build system and the IDE work without spending hours fighting them? I hope you started this journey with two kidneys.)

Having owned one of those Zephyrus and owning a M1X there is no comparison on terms of quality or usability. Zephyrus is hot, loud, has a poor screen in comparison, and poor battery life.
Screensharing is getting there.

On firefox it works out of the box.
On Slack as well.

On chromium it's still hidden behind the flag: chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer

On Zoom it's more complicated. For whatever reason it uses gnome's private screenshot API to share screen
Now that Gnome secured this API, it's not working at all, even for Gnome users...
The web version allows to share the screen, but their web version is really not great.

I am not sure this is opposite advice, really. I make myself do an ops thing by hand, for a period of time. Eventually the repetitive parts begin to really annoy me. Then I automate the repetitive parts.

But I am deeply lazy. My father made me count fish hooks by hand from bulk into those dozen boxes for his fishing tackle wholesale business. I was, maybe 8? Couple of cents per box. Couldn't stand it. So I eyeballed batch sizes, and made mistakes. Should've weighed them. Boy did he get mad. But nope, no way I was going to count every one of those little hooks.

That's the way I feel about the repetitive parts of ops. It takes a while to figure out the repetitive bits though, and abstract those correctly.
Obviously each one had a problem, but they are categorically different. The problem that <no emergency call could be made> was an OS problem. The problem that <Microsoft Teams could not make an emergency call> was an application problem.

I think if ever in history there was a time to have children and to be optimistic about their future, now is it. I realize I am speaking as someone enjoying all the benefits of living in the first world but we are mastering science, lifespan is increasing, our ability to fight disease is growing, wars are fewer and farther between, quality of life is improving across the world. There are of course outliers that are very much surfaced via the media such as the refugee crisis. The fact that there is a place for the refugees to go though is even an improvement even though their circumstances are terrible. The threat of global nuclear war was an unstoppable idea a few decades ago, but war did not happen so all the worry was for nothing. With global warming its a steady thing that humanity can adapt to as it happens; technological advancement does not end, we will deal with it. Have kids if you want them and teach them to feel optimistic about the future, humanity is young and we are just getting started. I have kids and I am thrilled about the opportunities they are going to have growing up.
I got rid of all of my tile devices a while ago due to privacy concerns. Airtags are a vast improvement, and it's sad that google hasn't shipped an equivalent.
Most of the answers are covering data structures and algorithms but I have a different direction. If you're doing VR/rendering, you should also look at linear algebra if you don't know it already. Specifically, make sure you're really comfortable with matrix multiplication, matrix inversion, change of basis vectors, cross products, etc.

That's a great frame/empathetic connection I haven't thought of!

I personally experience this existential dread and anger from not being able to force any action on the scale we need on climate change. Kind of feel silly that I've never really put together that people in your generation felt similarly about an impending nuclear winter, population growth starvation etc.

Sadly a lot of that generation are the least likely to want dramatic efforts to fight climate change/most skeptical. Some points almost 2X less likely to want immediate action.

I would imagine that the net immigration rate indicates immigration policy of the host country and not the external demand to immigrate, but even if it did indicate that the demand to enter was declining that doesn't refute that the absolute demand is relatively low compared to other countries (Shaq might be getting shorter but that doesn't mean he's short), which is to say that my original claim isn't just "kinda sorta true" but rather, "strictly true".
The nuclear scare was definitely that constant, if not even more so. It was also a much more black and white issue, there was a clear us vs them to it. I personally think that 9/11 and the response to it would have all been taken completely differently if it weren't for the Cold War only ending a decade before. Bush wasn't laughed out of Congress for talking about an Axis of Evil because it sounded exactly like American foreign policy had for decades at that point, notably Reagan's Evil Empire back in the 80's.
If you're using components, then it works great. The css is local to each component, and you only have to make changes in a single place. I'm just doing a fairly simple app, but I can see it scaling well to larger projects.

> Also, the video, at least to me, makes the person doing the tutorial to be seen as "more authoritative" than through text, even if you can tell the person talking has little experience with microcontrollers (or whatever, if you have experience in the field).

And with the dislike count gone we've lost the only way to tell at a glance if a tutorial is worth spending time on. Good luck finding a thoughtful critique in the comments.
My traditional question is: did the author short USD against any other currency of his choice? Or he's just shaking the air without willing to put the money where his mouth is?

I just spent 2 full days automating a 15 minute GIS task. I don't regret it, but 2 full days of cost was rough. I was stubborn and determined to do it. It could easily have ended in failure after 10 hours. The hardest part is figuring out what tools/libraries to use to do the automating. The actual coding is easy as hell.

The end result though, is beautiful. It's cleaner, more precise, more technically correct, and more consistent than what I was producing before. It makes what was already one of the most profitable parts of my business even more profitable. One of the big side benefits is I gained a lot more knowledge in the process that I've already been able to apply in other contexts.

So... it can be really painful and time-consuming to automate, but there are more benefits than just the future time savings.
Without getting into the specifics of the Rust Project, I'd like to make a general observation.

Most of us didn't receive any formal education or training in workplace communication or conflict resolution. Yet healthy workplace communication is a skill most of us have to learn, just like reading and writing.

I'd like to suggest that we all consider investing proactively in ourselves, and our teams, to learn and practice healthy workplace communication.

I believe such proactive learning can be a standard part of every team and organization, to reduce both the quantity and intensity of any conflicts. As well, such training provides effective tools for the team to deal with "conflict" in a constructive manner.

I think the 40% is what you should be worried about. The police are supposed to have a literal monopoly on violence. One should expect _some_ violent incidents. Remember, this isn't an "unjustified" use-of-force database, it's for all use-of-force incidents. The purpose is to be able to compare different departments number of incidents to help identify possible problem areas through comparison.

If 40% of police departments are "never" using force, they are obviously lying.
