Apparently they decided that it would be too confusing to have variant types alongside interfaces for some reason, and they claim that interfaces handle a lot of the use cases of variants:

My understanding is that increasing interest rates would tame inflation however there will be a slight recession or dip since prices will fall and given the upcoming elections the powers that be want a VERY gradual uptick with minimal economic fallout.

Unions would work better if they were more like guilds, in the sense that guilds and professional societies serve an entirely different type of worker, with jobs that are in higher demand and have more training requirements. So yes if unions had to do a very different, much easier job, they'd probably do great.
In this specific instance I see this primarily as utilitarian practicality rather than inconvenience avoidance.

Anything proximate to human communication.

That people in the West communicate largely over platforms controlled by entities with economic interests has been highly destructive. Beyond mere vitriol and "misinformation", there's the accelerationism of human social functions powered by instant communication and full of perverse incentives on the part of the platform controllers. There are also lots of incentives for individuals that are harmful to society in the aggregate.

To me, this kind of thing is the primary cause of the western malaise.
> Also living closer to work simply doesn’t work the housing just isn’t there and many live out farther because cost of living close to work increases.

The specific intervention under discussion is to change the housing situation. Allow more housing to be built close to jobs. This is not set in stone, it's just the arbitrary laws that were made in the mid - to late-20th century as a way to enforce racial and economic segregation in communities.

And we don't need to ban all cars to greatly reduce their harms. Cutting VMT in half would provide great benefits, and could be done without forcing anybody to give up their car.

The number of e-bikes I see on the roads today is absolutely immense compared to pre-pandemic days, and this will hopefully continue as we make biking safer by providing more protected lanes. And as fewer people drive, biking also becomes safer. And as we have fewer long stroads because there's less demand for driving, biking also becomes safer and more attractive.

But it all starts with city planning, and allowing the people who want to live close to groceries and child care and work to live in mixed use neighborhoods. And the major blockage to that is a small law that can be flipped quickly.
To expand on what's being referenced here, consider the following: video game speedruns.

Throughout the 80s, 90s, and early-to-mid 2000s, there was a certain level of trust in the claims people made about PBs (Personal Bests) and WRs (World Record/Ranking). There was no practical way to record, host, or especially upload literal hours of footage (VHS footage) of a run you did. Even if you did somehow achieve all of the above, it would be a grainy, low quality video which is hard to see, maybe with a stopwatch nearby so people can verify your claim. People would be watching this through RealPlayer, if they could watch it at all!

So what do you do in such a situation where people have no practical or easy means to verify claims? You build credibility off of how active you are with other members of the community. You post and comment on forums about what strategies you're trying, what difficulties you're dealing with, and what new information you might have uncovered through trial and error. You don't prove your work, you prove your worth. Your standing is evidence of your claim.

To me, this is a great example of "personality-credit" communities that's existed online; Usenet and BBS aside. The mentality has largely faded away with improvements to bandwidth and services like Twitch and YouTube, but considering the technological challenges of what someone in say, 1993 would be dealing with in trying to prove they just set a new record can really give a glimpse into what things used to be like.
TL;DR. Could you make that into a meme?

There is a major, major housing issue in the US and it's only getting worse.
As opposed to Gradle or SBT?

If I'm being honest here, a quite significant part of day-to-day backend JVM software development positions is dealing with the build tool. While I wouldn't outright reject a candidate for not being familiar with the latest standard toolchain (Gradle), I would certainly consider it as one of many factors - Gradle is pretty complicated, yes, but also quite powerful in what it is capable of achieving. It's not as eyebrow-raising as, say, if you sent in a coding challenge compiled using Ant (which would, in fact, be quite a fun discussion to have with a candidate) but it would certainly be something considered.

Don't see how ships to trade is a red herring. First Google result for "Black Death rats ships":

> The Black Death was also carried by rats on merchant ships through the trade routes of Europe. It struck Europe in 1347, when 12 ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. Subsequently called “death ships”, those on board were either dead or sick

Parent is using an example of a case where we know trade by ships helped cause the plague to spread, so is similar to how obese people have worse covid outcomes. No one is really going to go on a platform and attack trade by ships, though, just like in modern times no one is allowed to discriminate against the obese.
Everything requires a telephone number now, and many (due to spam/abuse/whatever) don't accept VoIP/disposable numbers, so it's basically like a universal tracking cookie.

I know it's still a wonderful experience to see things in reality. But I am sure the experience is dampened due to the endless dopamine consumption we saturate ourselves with.

CFAA is a bad law: it's excessively broad and can apply to almost anything.

However, Kellogg's is soliciting job applications from the public. Automating the submission of a single application is clearly legal, but submitting many with the intention of overloading digital systems is clearly illegal.

IMO, this case is legally ambiguous because they are using a digital system to overwhelm a human system.

The public is 'authorized' to submit one application, so it's hard to say submitting many applications is unauthorized, unless done with intent of crashing servers.
> The shutting down of pipelines, ending of fossil fuel leasing, etc. sends a market signal to producers and traders that the US is hostile towards the industry, leading the producers to cut production and maintain their profits.

That's the point isn't it? From an environmentalist perspective, policy that discourages fossil fuel production makes renewables more economically attractive by comparison, encouraging attrition away from fossil fuels into renewables, thus reducing emissions.

> Best option would be to have a diverse portfolio of energy production: oil, natural gas, solar, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear.

Pretty much everyone can agree with this statement, the devil is in the details as usual.

I've thought a lot about what plagues our modern world and I've come to the same conclusion. I'm at a loss for what can be done about it though.

I live in Berlin Germany. I've been manually tracking all my grocery costs over 2 years now in an Google Spreadsheet. I'm a single person and I buy organic food. I work from home and I don't eat a lot outside. I cook probably on average 1.5 times a day. My general monthly bill on food is 600€. My methodology has been this:

- I pay all my groceries with my debit card

- Then, to get the cost for a month; I take all debit card entries in my online banking and sum them up

- I then compare the finding to older findings.

Last time I checked, the costs of my groceries hasn't gone up. So far, it has never gone up in any significant form over the last two years. Maybe by 5% but by no means +50% like the parent post suggests.

I sometimes also get anxious about "inflation" when the cashier quotes an unexpected price. And it's why I've started double checking my intuition with the above-outlined process.

Indeed, some times the shopping ends up more expensive as e.g. I bought an extra pack of coffee or meat.
> High prestige journals often will not accept replication studies.

But this is the opposite of how it should be! If we learned anything from scientific research is that if a breakthrough study is published, it means almost nothing until it gets verified. Actually, these days I tend to believe meta-analyses almost exclusively. But you need time for these to appear.

So when I read about some exciting new study, my first reaction is, "Well, that's interesting, we'll see what other scientists say." So actually we should look forward to the first replication as the first indicator of whether the original study was correct or not. The authors of the original study and the journal board should be grateful to the replication team for helping them do their job! Rejecting replication is a disservice to science.

> But then you need to write all the setters, and something that was supposed to be simple, a function, becomes a whole contraption with a bunch of auxiliary code. Personally I would avoid that, and I definitely wouldn't make it a rule of thumb to use builders in every function with more than 2-3 arguments (maybe you meant something else).

Yeah, it's tedious, but that's Go for you ;)

Rust has the same issue, but there are macros libraries that will create the builder for you based on the struct definition, so it's _very_ trivial to create these builders.

You could do the same with codegen for Go, but this always feels much worse to me than using macros for a number of reasons like having to install a separate tool, checking in generated files, making people run `go generate` after some (but not all) changes, etc.
> Poetry is much more focused on managing dependencies for applications than dealing with libraries

The linked article is quite long. Do you have a quick example? I've built lots of apps and libraries using Poetry and haven't run into any dependency issues, and you can specify versions constraints in the same way as Flit, so it's hard to see how they'd be different in that regard.

Edit: I think I see what the issue is--Poetry sets upper version bounds by default via its ^X.Y.Z and ~X.Y.Z syntax and advocates for always specifying upper bounds in their docs.

So, it's not that Poetry can't be used for a library, but you'll have to know that you can, and perhaps should, use different version syntax in some cases (i.e., the standard >=X.Y syntax).
The M1 Max uses 120W when stressing GPU and CPU. The GPU by itself uses around 60W.

These are sustained, not peak, figures. The M1 Max GPU does use 60W and so do many 3060 Mobiles with worse overall performance, at almost three times the price.

>They're good at making apps fast and small, but not at making them usable.

I don't know which apps you are talking about, but I use apps built and designed by developers every day, and they all work great.

My problems start when Apps are NOT designed by developers, but rather people who have seen 100 videos about color theory, and know all the latest fonts their social media du jour is excited about, but very little about hardware, programming, and the difference between localhost and accessing a server over cheap WiFi from somewhere else on the planet.

Because these are the "apps" which do something ridiculously simple, but somehow manage to eat up 2-3GiB of RAM and let the laptops fans spin out of control.

>They're not small or fast -- though Moore's Law has made them usable anyway.

Moores Law is over however, and there is no justification for an app that, say, plays locally stored mp3s to require 2GiB of RAM and 10% CPU. If an application thinks this is justified, it will get to know my good friend `rm -rf`, beacause I have vlc running in ncurses mode right now, playing my entire playlist, and its eating less memory than the terminal emulator it's running in ;-)

The answer to bad software, and overloaded/overused/oversold frameworks is not "built more powerful computers" but "make better software".

>There never was a golden age when developers made good, small, fast apps.

Good != Beautifully designed.

Good means small, fast, portable, reliable, easy to install, easy to learn, easy to remove, does its job.

Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to show that one can understand the exact nature of the approximation in 2D geometry.

I think it's useful to think of it as a separate category of "wrong" than -ffast-math, which is "wrong" because two expressions that are mathematically equivalent over real numbers, like a + (b + c) and (a + b) + c, are not equivalent over floating-point numbers.

Using lerp in place of slerp is like using x in place of sin(x). (The small-angle approximation) They're not equivalent over the real numbers.
> And notice that the US is not now trying to return manufacturing home because of long-term plans, but because the people noticed that the bargain of cheap goods from China doesn't mean much when you exported the job

Most of those jobs outside of a few narrow categories were lost to automation. We make more steel, aircrafts, and cars than ever but with far fewer people.

China's history of planning has led to tons of misallocation of resources, and I'm not sure I'd want to emulate that.

This is one of the most bizarro world comments I’ve ever read. The argument is internally consistent, but so completely opposite of my lived experiences. I nomad around extensively. I am in suburban Florida now and this character and freedom you’re talking about is incredibly absent. I was just in Vienna for a month and my opinion on the city is the opposite of yours in every way. This is a good reminder to me that different people can differ more in just some opinions, but can have absolutely irreconcilably opposing worldviews.

> no matter how you want to define "generalisation"

... and how you want to define "task". For some prompts/"tasks", GPT-3 does generate impressive (more than trivial) outputs that cannot be found on the internet and that are indistinguishable from what a human would respond, so it generalizes in that sense. Maybe human ingenuity and generalization is also just slightly perturbed interpolation? It is very difficult to produce something truly novel, so we are also rather tightly limited by prior experience. Who knows? Also, who cares if submarines swim? Anyhow, it seems 50% of the internet is bikeshedding about definitions.

This reminds me on an interesting take on international politics I read last week. Shale has enabled far greater energy independence for the US. Energy independence has partly led to a de-prioritization of the Middle East, which made withdrawing from Afghanistan/Iraq more probable.
Seeing how many critical stories NYT has filed on both China and Apple, I have no idea how that story has anything do to with the "party narrative". Likely, they haven't covered it yet because they haven't been able to source it themselves, or the story is taking a while.
