> There will always be edge cases, disabilities, and people who truly need the governments support. But if someone is mentally and physically able to work and contribute to society, they should reap what they sow.

ultimately this is your philosophy condensed into a paragraph, so what common ground do we have to argue with?

if you don't fundamentally see how absurdly false this statement is, that the vast majority of people will never have the opportunity to "reap what they sow" because they are destined to play economic catch-up for the rest of their lives, you are completely blinded by your meritocratic ideology and privilege.

labor is not the same as work. labor is necessary for life, and not an objection of socialists. work is the relationship of the worker to the labor, where labor is paid according to market wage, and the surplus value is expropriated by the employer/owner.

> If you have enough people who don’t find building houses, studying medicine, researching, and farming to be what their life is about, then those resources become scarce and more expensive (basic supply and demand).

breaking things down into basic supply and demand is so outrageous. we bulldoze housing or artificially keep it empty in order to prop up market values, to the detriment of society at large. we throw out food by the truckload, because it's better to keep its value artificially high instead of feed people who need calories. healthcare... supply and demand? fucking seriously? look around you.

> Resources are scarce, and there are not enough to go around, especially in a sustainable way, to provide what some would consider a “dignified” life, because some people view “dignified” as equal, and others view it at all different levels. Ask 10 people and you will have 10 definitions. Almost none of them will be sustainable for 7 Billion people. In fact, it would mean that the US drops its standard of living and starts providing charity to the rest of the world.

resources are kept artificially scarce. this happens over and over and over again. we have common ideas of what a dignified life is: human rights. we are clearly moving as a society towards health, education, and food as universal human rights, as well as the other traditional ones.

also, given climate change and the US's insanely eco-unfriendly lifestyle, we need massive shifts to rebalance our carbon heavy lifestyle.

> I guess safety nets could be a minimum standard of living, but those do exist to some extent (unemployment and one could argue bankruptcy is a reset for those with major financial issues). They are an insurance policy and can’t exist if everyone is using them at the same time.

safety nets have been being cut down since many of the ones we know were first instantiated in the new deal of the 1930s. instead, we have settled for corporate safety nets (2008 bail outs, 2020 bail outs) except the savings aren't passed down to workers, they are used to buy back stocks and inflate shareholder value.

supply and demand is literal bullshit, we live in a massively rigged economy.

> Some animals really aren't suitable as pets for the vast majority of owners - which might be a more fruitful discussion than objecting to service animals too quickly.

The problem isn't service dogs, but fraudulent service dogs claims. And often health departments hold business owners liable for these fake claims (fine the owners because they should have known that the pit bull wasn't a service dog because they lacked a harness), which is doubly ridiculous if you aren't allowed to challenge someone's service dog claim (which actually isn't true, I think, there isn't a law on the book that businesses cannot verify service dogs, its just culture that pushes them to trust).

> That's the sponsors' decision to make.

Marak's GitHub sponsors aren't changed. If people wanted to specifically sponsor Marak, they would have chosen to do it there. The Open Collective is very specifically about the project, not a specific person.

> What I don't agree is to transfer its sponsors to an account that has zero relationship with original account.

The current fakerjs has more of a relationships with the original code than what's in Marak's repo.

I don't see the issue. The Open Collective is specifically about sponsoring the project, which Marak clearly and publicly washed his hands of.

Again, they weren't sponsoring Marak. They were sponsoring the project. The project is still going.
Then how do you know they don't support automatic hassle-free transfer of the sponsorship?
I'm not understanding this situation from the perspective of intellectual property. This new project probably doesn't have the copyright of the author??
ASCII and Unicode are standards. Presumably OP isn't building a tool with enough market share it's going to have an international standard encoding.

What you end up with, if you don't have a standard, and you don't maintain isomorphism... is user "code" that requires a vendor tool to view & modify.

Which sets up some really screwy incentives & business models.

A thing you built. That you paid for the tools to build. That you have to continue paying for, otherwise you'll be unable to guarantee maintainability.

Charge for execution if you want! But IMHO user developed code, in whatever format, deserves to be owned by users. Even if they decide to no longer be customers.

Of course an conservative think tank will say that! That graph does show why you should move to the US to earn big bucks, it says nothing about being poor in those countries. It is a complex subject. Just going aroudn on gapminders site about how much people spend around the world it's easy to understand how complex it is.

https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/

The numbers on the US states I've seen puts them in the lower brackets of the EU countries if you count precentage of the population that are poor, not bad by any means but not good. These numbers are meaningless though, especially on the subject discussed here.
Have you read the project’s license? That is literally how it works. It’s not even an original project by Marak, as it’s clearly shown in there.

The only fault here is cutting the owner out of the repo, but given the security breach it’s strange that he isn’t permanently banned at all.

And yeah, adding an infinite loop is a DoS attack.

I don't doubt that racism like this sneaks into D&I presentations, but I have to call out that the sources are the Daily Mail and NY Post--both are known for bias and not being especially reliable sources. At the same time, I don't think more authoritative, centrist news outlets would cover this story, either.
It's just capitalism at work. The period between 1940 and 2000, roughly, is when white men had the most disposable income. Unsurprisingly, most media was produced for them, specifically. Now, white men have a very small piece of the disposable income pie. And, we see lots of diversity in media and big media companies trying to appeal to the widest demographic.

So, I'm guessing that Scientific American's readership just changed, and they went with what sells.
> Only sponsorships tied to the project itself will continue to be tied to the project

Yeah, but the project is not actually the same anymore. The new project taking over the name and URL of the old project doesn't make it "the same" project.

Marak isn’t the only one who snapped, but he’s the only one to my knowledge who has introduced malicious commits to this code to purposely hurt other people’s projects. (Even Hans Reiser didn’t do that.) It seems that this might have been a precursor to Marak attempting to hurt people in real life

I think it's partly down to being exceptionally verbose for simple tasks. Dealing with extra empty text nodes, namespacing, etc. JSON for most simple use cases is just "dump kv, load kv".

> Assuming that the software is all available from source and can be recompiled.

I remembered hearing that same line when I bought a Raspberry Pi in 2012. "It's useless! You can't run x86 software on it, so what's the point?"

Flash-forwards a decade and now Graviton instances are blowing up like nothing else in the industry. RISC-V is in a very similar position to ARM 10 years ago; the groundwork has been laid, standards have been ratified and base packages/several kernels work perfectly fine on it. The only difference is that ARM is more expensive to license and is less flexible.

> Only the base RISC V is guaranteed thanks extensions.

Yeah. Is that a problem? The situation on ARM is equally bad if not worse (frequent iterations end up throwing even relatively recent CPU models under the bus), and the reason why RISC-V divided itself into extensions is so that you didn't have to start from scratch when John RISC decides to add in 3 new floating point instructions. It's a pretty damn good compromise if you ask me, and it certainly doesn't have any bearing on software availability; RISC-V programs run on RISC-V processors. ARM does not have that same liberty.

There are plenty of genuine constraints for RISC-V (the majority of them in the manufacturing/mass production side of things, now), but the majority of these software issues have been solved and taped out years ago.

Summarizing the long and not very grammatical transcript of a video (which I haven't watched):

Greenwald, after explaining that he's been working on both of these pardons behind the scenes, thinks that Trump had been convinced to pardon one or possibly both of these, but was blindsided by the attempt to impeach him at the end of his term. The populist side of the Republican party (Rand Paul, Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massey) wanted pardons, but the establishment side (Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham) considered both to be traitors and vehemently opposed pardons. Greenwald thinks that establishment Republican senators made it very clear to him that if he pardoned Assange or Snowden, they would vote to convict, potentially barring him from holding public office in the future. Realizing that the threat was real, Trump caved.

About switchable graphics, nVidia APIs do work. The problem with them, there's no API to switch to the faster GPU, they only have APIs to setup a profile for an application, ask for the faster GPU in that profile, and the changes will be applied next time the app launches.

My impression is that philosophers and statisticians are often working with different focal examples. I think that in many fields important scientific knowledge essentially takes the form of a point estimate (e.g. the R0 of Covid is XXXX). It is also easy to come up with useful priors (e.g. the R0 is likely below 20) that arise more from characteristics of the model rather than theory.

Note that it is possible to reformulate the Covid example into a Null hypothesis test at the cost of being less informative (e.g. Is the R0 significantly above 1?) but then the knowledge becomes less useful for making certain important decisions.

Anyways, my general impression is that Bayesian statistics are probably more useful for making good decisions that require precise numerical knowledge of certain types of information but maybe less useful for many of the sorts of conceptual issues philosophers are often interested in.

Think back to the first time you wrote a resume. For me and all of my college buddies at least, it was super stressful, because we had no idea what it was supposed to look like and nothing but vague rumors to go on. If there were a straightforward canonical answer for how my resume should be formatted it would have saved me quite a bit of work and quite a bit of stress that I was doing it wrong.
Recruiters can definitely be a good way. That’s how I landed, like, nearly every job I have ever been offered.

Networking and reaching out to people at interesting companies is another way.

You will probably still have to write a cover letter and send in your résumé. But if you have someone on the inside who will mention to the hiring manager that, ”hey, you should check out Jane’s application” it will probably make a great deal of difference compared to just applying and hoping for the best.

And please folks, remember that FAANG is not the only game in town. There are lots and lots and lots of other companies out there, and many of them also pay well since they need to compete with FAANG to at least some extent.

> The new project taking over the name and URL of the old project doesn't make it "the same" project.

Do you really think the sponsors and the people using this code actually care that one person (of many contributors to the project) who wanted to break the project is no longer part of the project?

It's a technicality, but in practice nobody actually cares. If they wanted to sponsor Marak they would have done it through his Github sponsorships. If they wanted to sponsor Fakerjs, in whatever form it takes, they would choose the Open Collective and their associated terms that allow for exactly this scenario.
But in those cases you'd expect the user to manually adjust their scaling settings, which wouldn't be respected if following the author's advice here.
There are three different common standards: HR Open Standards Candidate, schema.org and JSON Resume. HROS (which does XML and JSON) is used as a data exchange format between enterprise ATS and HRIS it's very comprehensive and is very detailed (perhaps too detailed). Schema.org seems mostly like Google and friends just making something up (without even trying to work with other existing standards) and trying to get everyone to use it. JSON resume is about what it sounds like it is. Oh, and then there are various de facto standards where ATSes that work with job boards like Indeed or data vendors like People Data Labs... So there's a lot of standards. The problem is:

a good standard is one everyone uses.

Personal opinion: resumes are actually kind of hard. I've personally been involved in HR Open Standards and even though it is a very complete standard, it's still hard to map real world resumes into the format sometimes. There is a shocking amount of ambiguity, and a shocking amount of adjacent standards (some of those have been adopted) for describing work history, education, certifications, people and workplaces.

So... most of the industry just parses resumes into some internal schema, and a lot of employers make job seekers enter their education and history on a job application form so they get it their way. It's really messy. Hope that helps.
These ways around the problem are not unlike what we have in the US right now.

Most of the glasses sold for blue-light blocking don't block nearly enough of the blue light to make a meaningful difference. I think the main thing is to reduce the amount of blue light that you're exposed to at night.

My first purchase for night driving was some orange safety glasses, but these blocked out too much light to be safe. I now have yellow safety-style glasses that I use for driving. These knock out enough of the blue to turn the bad blue-white headlights green. They say overx.com on the side... Ahh: https://cocoonseyewear.com/shop/safety/lightguard-medium-fit...

My bulbs around the house are mostly low-blue. I have three light switches in my bedroom. I replaced the 1995-ish 5000k fluorescent tube hidden above the closet with a 6 or 8-bulb fixture from a thrift shop. I have a mix of red & orange single-color bulbs in this, which renders to a pleasant amber color. My bedside lamp has a Feit red bulb, which is a nice deep red. The fan has halogen bulbs on a dimmer switch, for the occasional time that I care about color rendition, or need a little extra light in the room. They're too blue full power, but I hardly ever use them.

My bathroom has halogens on a slider dimmer switch, which starts at the lowest light output. It's nice & yellowish at night.

The kitchen is lit with Citizen 2200K COB (Chip On Board) [0] LEDs on top of the cabinets. The terrible hangy-lights, that someone put in to replace the old canister lights over the kitchen stove, now have Philips Amber 2000K LED bulbs. There are some 2700K lights in the kitchen too, but I try not to use those.

I also use https://JustGetFlux.com to reduce the blue light from monitors...

tl/dr: I use yellow glasses for driving, day and night. Most of my lights around the house are red, orange, and amber bulbs, and all the important fixtures ahve dimmer switches. I hope to keep my vision for a while longer.
