> what legitimate reason is there for this?

Unvaccinated employees are more likely to be hospitalized or die.

There is some precedent for this. In many states, it's legal to fire someone because they smoke cigarettes, even if they never smoke on company time or on company property[1].

That would mean you could fire a remote employee for smoking cigarettes at home in the evenings, after work ends.

I think that trend prediction is a fascinating area. I’ve read several books on the topic.

Sorry for the long reply, but I believe based on what I have read (though I don’t have the math skills to show it) that “the next big thing” is emergent, i.e. they are the states that are possible to reach out of the current set of system states. In other words, where we will be can only result from where we are now. I believe this is conceptually related to chaos theory?

Since it is impossible (due to complexity) to model exactly where we are now in a broad sense (e.g. the whole current way of life), it is difficult to say where we will be next in a broad sense.

However, a lower order state model of where we are now may provide a rough estimate of possible future states in that model.

This is most likely why we can say that there will probably be a medical breakthrough for society in the near future; but, perhaps we can’t say exactly what that breakthrough will be.

Maybe if the system under observation is small enough, you can get close.
Linux, macOS, and Windows have all been good enough for a long, long time now. If you need to run some application that only runs or (or runs best on) some particular operating system, then that's probably what you buy.
I think aphantasia is a sign of a weak skillset - I think you can practice it. I try to create wireframe versions of the rooms I am in sometimes, but I suck at it. Ask me to visualize something and I almost cannot - but for some reason I can do wireframes. It's my lame version of trying I guess.

Oh my gosh. Thank you for sharing that. It means so much to me when I hear that my code helped someone build a business, have fun in a hobby, or even get in a little trouble. :-)
To their credit, the build time reduction they are reporting is substantial, which is a measurable productive increase regardless of the hardware architecture. They compare (quoting verbatim):

> Test: 2020 M1 (8 Core — 4 ice & 4 fire) 13 inch model with 16Gb of RAM

> Control: 2019 Intel Core i7 (12 core) MacBook 16 inch Pro 64Gb RAM²

and build times:

> Intel 16:10 min

> M1 07:41 min (that’s a 52% improvement! )

and

> Intel 10:58 min

> M1 6:28 min (that’s a 41% improvement! )

What is hilarious, though, is the language and statements the author uses to, ostensibly, substantiate the rationale, from a software engineer perspective:

> To put this into perspective, x86 arch (Complex Instruction Set Computing) has around 981 instructions compared to around 50 for arm64.

The author quotes a blog article that quotes a Quora reply that, in turn, suggests approximately 50 instructions for the armv6 / armv7 (Cortex-5) architecture. arm64 (which is armv8 and later) is a complete revamp of the 32-bit armv6/7 architectures and has more than 50 instructions.

> At the “core” of it, however, and what’s contributing the most to this latest performance boost, is the smaller length of arm64 instructions coupled with an array of super-fast instruction buffers. For comparison, x86 instructions are variable in length, and anywhere between 1 and 15 bytes long. For arm64 this is fixed at 4 bytes.

MIPS CPU's – that also have fixed length, 4 byte long instructions – are some of the slowest RISC CPU's out there. So, super-fast instruction buffers they are.

> it’s blazing fast to fill instruction buffers up because of their size, it’s a win-win for these workloads!

Hilarity has ensued, indeed.

> Just like an optimised M1 Pro SoC with its specialised hardware accelerators, at Picnic, we’re striving to build a tech foundation comprising of specialised platform teams that can be accelerators of the self-service approach for the various DevOps workloads and challenges that product teams face.

I am somewhat at a loss as to where and how exactly the hardware video encoders and decoders of M1 laptops fit in in a DevOps workflow and into maven builds.

> For the Java Gurus amongst us, a word to the wise:

Suddenly, I felt small and insignificant.

After checking the blog out and noticing the ironic beard, I have concluded it was just another hipster software shop that, after purchasing a batch of M1 Pro's won't have any money left for disposable razors.

Vitriole aside, I have learned something from the article, anyway. Namely, that mvnd is now supported and works on arm64 which was not the case a few months ago. I will pass the knowledge around my colleagues.
I've started getting back into reading stuff in an RSS reader, listening to podcasts, running a blog, avoiding any interactive space where things move too fast (like Twitter). This is about where I was around 2008-2014, after the internet went mainstream and before I had a smartphone. Interactions were more energizing than distressing back then.

But I'm also keenly aware things will change, so I see this as a foundation rather than a place to stay. You can't just stay fixed in place and expect to have any input on the future. I've been back on Mastodon more since it has a lot of the good parts of past Twitter with less of the bad. I wrote an article that did numbers here called "ActivityPub could be the future." I pulled it since I got a bit cynical about the whole thing, but I might use it as the basis for something new.

It's a theory by wealth manager Brent Johnson that the next big recession will trigger an enormous demand for dollars. The dollar will rise against most other currencies and non-US bonds thus sucking up all the liquidity (that's the milkshake part).

He's been on many podcasts to explain his theory and provide updates. I will link you an interview at realvision from september 2020 timestamped at 51:55 where he goes through it in summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_HCIyc6MaA&t=51m55s

Some HP laptops (EliteBook 8xx) have a track point but only have two physical buttons.

They're also quite large and flimsy, so I expect them to develop enough play that reliably pressing both at the same time becomes frustrating after a while.

Hanging around optimistic, inquisitive people definitely helps. If your friends or community act reactively in a negative or dismissive way without consideration they're not going to see the potential in these things before it's obvious.

The mainstream news is like the above, have been dismissive of almost every new invention for basically forever so definitely avoid that.

Everything starts out looking like a toy and this causes most people to think it'll never be big/serious.

For tech projects, think about what they would look like if they were 1000x faster/better. Many people dismissed computers, the internet, phones and now crypto because it was so slow and expensive, but technology improves and unlocks new possibilities people didn't consider before as it gets faster and cheaper.

Lastly look for areas that have super passionate fans, and talk to them about why they're passionate with an open mind. Because there are always people that "get it" before others and you want to be one of them.

My pick for the next big thing for this decade is Ethereum + Decentralized Finance. It's eating the financial system in the same way the internet ate newspapers and media, or cloud computing ate traditional servers/ops. It looks small and slow and expensive now but is rapidly growing and has a super passionate fanbase (of which I am one, and will happily talk all day about it).

I just happened to look him on on Wikipedia a few hours ago to see when he announced DNSSEC, and I noticed the honor bestowed upon him today.

I was looking him up after being irked that parts of the AF.MIL root domain server STILL do not implement DNSSEC. I was having problems accessing federation.us.af.mil yesterday and diagnosed the issue being my pi-hole server requiring DNSSEC from peers.

This is very obviously wrong, but it is the conventional wisdom. Every time someone says something like this and mentions Jimmy Buffet you know they're just quoting some movie like Wolf of Wall Street.

Trading is a real job and the market is very inefficient. If you're too lazy to study it, you say things like what the GDC7 posted. It's pretty easy to predict Microsoft stock four months from now (it will probably be higher, but there's a small chance it will be lower), certainly easier than "the fate of the Universe trillions of years from now."

At the end of the day, trading is learning how to manage risk. What is Microsoft doing, how much is it likely to make, and will the macro environment support or suppress their strategy. Then you put on a trade to take advantage of this view. You may sometimes be wrong, but the idea is that over all of your decisions, you'll mostly be right and make more money than you lose.

>Our actions

Like the one you made when you moved to California to exploit the job market and vote in a bunch of BS that you will never experience since you will most likely move back to where you originated from once you make enough money to escape the rat race? Yeah I can generalize, too.
> Wealth represents owed labor

That's the flawed assumption you're making. Wealth does not just come from labor. It largely comes from technology. Technology provides leverage. It's not uncommon that a single person today can do something that generates 10,000x the entertainment/utility/productivity/wealth any single person could have in the past.

The average person today is far wealthier than the average person hundreds of years ago, and we have fewer indentured servants, not more. That's because we can generate wealth much more easily today, thanks to technology. As a result, we should (and do) have far more wealthy people.

Also, just mathematically speaking, more wealthy people can't mean more servants. To use an extreme example, a society with 99% wealthy people could only have 1% servants, max.
Not true, but sure I understand where you are coming from.
Which is why its useful to form a cult of worshippers

There is almost no utility of having objective thinkers as clientele
Earlier this year there was a lot of reporting about how California recovered much quicker from the first few waves that shut down the country, especially as compared to states like Georgia. Just because other states had fewer restrictions does not mean people actually returned to their routines.

Some argued that in California more people were quicker to return to economic life, greater social restrictions notwithstanding, because they felt safer. I have no idea how those trends and theories have actually panned out since then. And the theories weren't necessarily needed. It's not surprising California's economy did relatively well simply because it benefits disproportionately from tech, entertainment, and related industries which were more amenable to work-from-home, and which actually saw growth potential from people spending more time at home.
hardly more complex. imagine if the operating state was expressed in some common data format - just imagine tables. and the shell then is my local preference that interacts with that data model.

is that less or more complicated than the mishmash of oddly designed kernel interfaces we have today (fork. mmap. ptrace....so much of it is a mess)

not only would that clean up the lot, and allow for a very straightforward remote indirection, but would open up all kinds of lovely usages like being able to trivially capture and replay command streams. interposition. general purpose rewrites. a well-defined domain in which to upgrade and downgrade the interface schema. and more things I'm sure I've never thought of.
The thing is, with X there were a lot of separate parts - the display server, the window manager, and the compositor were separate packages and if either of the latter crashed and you were set up for it you could keep going. With Wayland, the display server is the window manager and compositor - and is directly responsible for handling all audio, video, input devices, color management, clipboard, and probably other things I'm forgetting - so there's only one thing to crash and it's game over. This also is a pain in terms of features, because you can't tack on, say, a clipboard manager, it has to be directly supported, hence things like GNOME, KDE, and basically everything else (via wlroots) having different, incompatible ways to do things like screen shots.
Thanks for sharing. That’s so fascinating.

I just tried to imagine a car crash. I can see it. Rolling down a hill. But it’s a fuzzy outline, almost perpetually ephemeral. No colour or texture. Almost not there. But I do see it.

When I do software dev I “feel” more than I see the abstract metaphors. I can look at code and find it to be as beautiful as a Bach cantata. Almost emotionally so sometimes. But I don’t “see” anything. This might be part of why I’m so horribly bad at UI design. I can’t see it.

But when I take THC pills for sleep, my ability to see things becomes so enriched for the 20 mins or so where I’m “high” but not asleep that I actually enjoy just laying in bed daydreaming.
This is the vulnerability that keeps on giving.

The annoying thing is, since it is evolving and attacks are spreading (and it has rightly gotten the attention of nearly everyone's IT department), we're hitting a stage where almost every customer is emailing daily asking for updates on mitigations based on evolving CVE discussions.

I'd rather people be over-vigilant rather than pass on it, but mitigation is taking a back seat to having to re-read and re-evaluate things multiple times per day, and communicate a lot more than usual to assuage people's nerves.
> Also, the kind of reverse psychology you're describing generally only works on children.

Allocation pooling gets around the Go GC but is also used in non-GC languages because it can drastically reduce the overall number of allocations AND improve cache performance. In a GC lang, it also forces you to be explicit with your lifetimes which can lead to better code (i.e. you need to Pool.Put rather than let the GC clean up).

In a well designed game engine, you will only need to implement it a handful of times (if that) to cover 99% of the hot code. Certainly not something to need to do for each class of game object.
No. Both sides are getting what they wanted, at a price they set.

> Priests believe in science, but the people who put those signs on their lawns tend not to agree.

I don't see how you can claim with a straight face that priests believe in science.
Religion at its core is asking for belief without proof. Science is the opposite.
By that definition neither was the church I grew up going to. You were judged from the second you walked through the door until well after you left.
What the original author isn't aware of is the fact genuine product stickers often will include minor differences (two transposed letters, a line of text being slightly off to one side, a copyright symbol with a misprint, etc) that are used to quickly visually verify the stickers. This works incredibly well because forgers try to get everything right, and often won't detect these subtle differences from the photos they are working with.

The military does the same thing on badges for secure areas. They will have a misspelling of the base name or two shades of the same color on the front/back so guards can visually verify them as legitimate.
Not sure if I agree with this, 'The long-term effects of comorbidities are still being hashed out.'

I thought there was scientific consensus that being overweight is detrimental to health.
I agree! But it would still be a political disaster if something does go wrong.
I feel like this is very true, and why I am glad there are other options than: conservative, liberal, or generically "progressive".

These gradients feel more armchair philosophical than things that speak to the actual problems and patterns of the world as I, at least, know it. I can't imagine getting so hung up on some naturalistic sociological question of consensus, with the idea that would actually change our general trajectory. It all very much reeks to me of a history walking on its head.
Bootstrap and Bulma are both based on SCSS still - it's as popular as it's ever been (though I still cling to my beloved classic SASS syntax, it's not very popular at all).
I think the point of GP is that one can seek change, but seek it slowly and carefully. Presumably GP would take a position in favor of "reform the system" over the platform of "abolish the system", which is popular among Progressives today.

Whether this is actually what Conservatives believe (or rather, what percentage of them believe it) is debatable, but I could see this sentiment actually being widespread enough to be the main source of resistence to Progressive political movements.

After all, isn't the whole goal of Progressivism to create a society so good that one wants to Conserve it?
Well, she’s not a communist but her ideas about the federal government taking over and centrally directing all fiscal activities would make Hugo Chavez blush.
Thank you for your feedback. Just fixed it
Right, I think that's the case, but it's very difficult to tell where genuine difference in experience ends and difference in the way it's described begins, is the point. Language is just very imprecise in this area.
A great solution until software declares X11 "deprecated" and refuses to support it. For instance, the only way to run Waydroid under X11... is to nest a Wayland session inside X11.
They are not getting paid, because those are nominal interest rates, not real interest rates.
> Not supporting old hardware is something that all companies eventually must do

I get it, but macOS does not need to do anything hardware-specific to fix security vulnerabilities, they'd only need to patch the old version (which already supports that hardware) and release an update, and only if someone reports a vulnerability. If they planned to group hardware deprecations only every X versions (let's say they'll remove hardware every 5 years), they would have very little work to do to keep those old versions safe.

> I don't think Apple or Windows would be a good choice, if openness is a feature you're looking for.

I agree, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't also push for them to be better. Personally I love linux but I also need mac for iOS development.
That's sounds really interesting! Any resources for the layman that would provide more detail?

It's not an insurrection or an attack on democracy or any sensationalized label you want to attach to it.

I'm sorry your argument lacks any evidence other than subjectively trying to determine 'intent' and one off wingnuts whose significance is being blown out of proportion, with no hard objective facts to support this being an confirmed insurrection.

If you want to believe it was an insurrection or attack on democracy and demonize your fellow citizens, despite the lack of objective evidence, go right on ahead!

Well, obviously it works for them and they like it, I just don't understand why.

I'll agree with having the styling information with the HTML. But there are lots of ways of doing that such as svelte-style components, CSS-in-JS, or inline css. Tailwind really didn't seem to have useful design guidelines to me. Since the classes seem to mostly correspond 1:1 with css properties, I didn't seem to be saving writing styling information. The media queries are something you can't do in inline css, but you can do it with css-in-js or svelte components.
> Many atheists do believe in higher powers, though. What about something like Patriarchy or institutional racism?

Eh? Those are social phenomena, not supernatural forces.

> These are higher powers that are said to exist beyond any individual, and to be propagated subconsciously and perhaps even unwillingly by people?

Again, this is _society_. When people use the term "higher power" in the context of religion, they're generally talking about something supernatural, not just "large groups of people do weird stuff sometimes".
