These breaking changes are why macOS is becoming more and more frustrating to use. It’s pushed me away from Mac on the desktop but I’m still using a MacBook.

I’ve run into so many issues trying to compile projects, those with little to no maintenance, and even many popular ones. If macOS support is advertised, it often only works on 2-3 generations prior to the current release. Ubuntu LTS works out of the box far more often.

The fact that it was removed without justification (just “legacy”) and there’s no easy download tool (like there is for say rosetta) is very frustrating. Sure I can compile python2 myself, install w/macports and symlink, but I shouldn’t have to.
There are many things one might do with such a representation. One that I am particularly interested in is connecting it to a program that implements the specification. That is, link the functions, variables, types, etc. of the program to corresponding parts of the spec. One could use this to generate documentation, traceability matrices, to generate unit tests for parts of the program, and to support evolution of the program as the specification changes.
Covid is old and busted. Now all you have is OMG Omicron that’s just basically an annoying flu, you go ahead and lose your mind over it - it’s a free country. I’m still freaking out about dioxin so I don’t have time for this shit.
TOFU still provides some amount of protection. It won't be very reliable, but better than not having it.

> I'm not sure I trust that they calculated the cost of disposal properly. Because if the disposal cost was more than the revenue generated by the nuclear industry, the entire industry would have become unprofitable. The lobbyists and politicians would never have allowed the regulators to collect enough. Hence socializing the cost.

I don't believe that's the case, looking at the actual reserves... and looking at the overall regulatory climate for nuclear. NRC has been a pretty strict regulator that hasn't been very hesitant to apply uneconomic costs to nuclear operators, which is part of why nuclear is so expensive. Indeed, nuclear has been structurally unprofitable in the face of very cheap natural gas from fracking, which is one reason why you don't see operators lining up to spend capital to open nuclear plants.

Compare to fossil fuel plants: 100% of the harms are socialized (national security, health effects from particulates, global warming, etc). Here, you're asserting without evidence that the cost of waste disposal may have been underestimated.
What was the reason for web assembly versus just running rust directly on the target hardware? Is the idea that the constrained WASM environment requires less QA than if the hardware was targeted specifically by the rust compiler?

Social media accounts of people who routinely share anti-immunity misinformation, including some politicians, have taken this information out of context to present a false narrative that natural immunity is ineffective.

However, there’s a simple reason that the argument from vaxx-at-all-costers is wrong – and a relatively simple thing that governments could do to give people important context around these numbers.

When the number of unvaccinated people who have died, or ended up in ICU, is selected for prior infection in the state we can clearly see the protective effect of natural immunity.

A wax or clay tablet or flat patch of dirt and a stick, piece of bark or wood and charcoal, etc. don’t have enough advantage for anyone to bother organizing their accounting or calculation system around them. They are on the whole inferior to the existing system. Trying to introduce them to people 2000+ years ago might have a chance, but it would be a tough sell.

The thing that really spread Hindu numbers around the world was access to paper.
That's fair, but it's still an existential threat. The IPCC numbers are halfway between how could organized society exist within such circumstances and how could anyone survive this. We are practically sitting on a bomb. Scientists dealing with this are also cracking, they are becoming less polite and professional to signal urgency.

The developed world can keep up the facade for a while, but the ship is sinking. Humanity is tough, people will go on, but organized society will suffer.

People will either crack under this pressure or become flexible at interpreting and deflecting it. Some will be able to hide in the gaps not knowing, some are already crushed. Developing countries will be crushed faster, but desperation, thirst, hunger and violence will spiral out. People will start to cling to illusions even more. The downturn will create localized upturns, consuming of what's left, but even that will fizzle out.

So yeah, pretty much an existential threat to organized society, the planet will be fine eventually.

I get your overall point, but you're greatly exaggerating the length of time here. The entire pandemic has been going on for less than 2 years. I also don't know any district that wasn't in person this entire school year. Every family I know in my area (a pretty liberal area of the US) had a packed summer involving camps, friends, and road trips. Kids truly sat at home for about 1 year.

I can see how, if you get to critical mass, the network effect will drive adoption. For example, building a Blocks-based project management system becomes much, much easier if it can tie into one of many (hypothetical) Blocks-based HR information systems, so that you can pre-populate a list of employees at the company. As much as big companies love lock-in, there's tremendous potential value in enabling small companies to build open value-add tools that focus on solving a narrow problem extremely well.
In the early days of windows, many computer stores would have windows running on various pc's with little or not security, so it was very quick and easy to edit the win.ini "run=win.exe" line to just "run=". As soon as the computer was rebooted, it messed up and unless you knew how simple it was to restore windows, it would force the shop into reinstalling windows again.

You setup a table of functions that the HW invokes when things happen. These functions add some sort of event onto a queue. At some point in the future, the kernel processes these events. Rinse, repeat.

No, I literally mean that the phrase "white heritage" brings to mind old fashioned kkk style white supremacy, not the white fragility style supremacy.

Heritage is actually a very common word used in modern klan and klan adjacent groups as they are very concerned with the racial purity of their lineage as well as the fact that they yearn for "the good 'ol days" of the antebellum south.

For hundreds of years, the idea of "whiteness" in America was used primarily to identify a group that for the most part had nothing exclusively in common except as that of oppressors.
Im not willing to build society around a theoretical risk for a very small population that is alive only because of artificial means.

Writ large, its immoral failing Kant’s categorical imperative. Massive utilitarian fail (you got to count the lockdown suicides and others too!). Aesthetically gross (life glued indoors is not really living).

Reasonable accommodations are fine, and necessary and can include: wearing a mask if a known immunocompromised person is present. Setting up free grocery delivery for them. Ambulatory health care.

Locking down society is not reasonable.

UK has not seized Venezuelan gold - as soon as Venezuela will get recognized government, UK will restore Venezuelan rights to their gold.

How this even compares to Crimea? Russia has no intention to give Crimea back - no matter what government is in Ukraine. Russia was already very nervous about Sevastopol naval base under Yanukovich, when the rent agreement was running out and that is the only reason for seizing Crimea, as this allows it to maintain than naval base. It is also a theft, as so far Russia was paying rent for that base and now it doesn't have to.

I find it interesting that when someone goes the extra mile and posts a long and we’ll thought out article attempting to undo this massive divide cause by this mistrust that within the first few comments you find someone stating in a very condescending way that republicans are idiots.

I worked in a Canadian electronics store chain about a decade ago, the demo laptops were just pulled out of the box and setup without password most of the time, depending on who set it up. There was no particular security other than a Kensington lock and them being physically close to the registers.
our city council tries to do some stuff occasionally - but usually just ends up with the state legislature (90+ other counties) deciding they know best for our city.
Yeah - I don’t know why people find this hard to believe. The more physically attractive talent will always win over the less physically attractive given all other things are equal.
Isn’t government grand?
Yes. Frankly putting it in any kind of frame is like wearing a "kick me" sign on your back. For instance, people try starting a discussion and put a url in the text and then get surprised that the link didn't get turned into a hyperlink.

To offer some tough love I don't like the posts you've written about COVID-19. The problems are: (1) there is no value in armchair quarterbacking if you're not an expert, (2) the articles are way too long giving that the content is speculative, (3) anything you say about COVID-19 (even if you are an expert!) could be proved totally wrong in a few months... Last summer I shared a lot of speculations with friends and family about how the pandemic would develop and it was all wrong because I had no idea about delta and omicron.

So find your voice and look for something to say that is unique, that you can say better than anyone else. My favorite blog these days is

... as a co-morbidity of COVID. Clearly the most effective option for people who are obese (and other people at elevated risk) is to get vaccinated.
What evidence did legerdemain provide that needs to be countered? They made sweeping but unsubstantiated claims amounting to "all government is corrupt at all levels" and vague warnings about "a rupture that cannot be repaired without severe measures," whatever that means.

A comment lacking in substance doesn't really warrant a more substantive rebuttal than was given.
>Joe Rogan is not transphobic...

What makes you say this? Isn't he one of the biggest culture warriors who demonizes trans people, i.e. claiming they are a big problem when they really aren't? He takes sides firmly against trans people participating in society like cis people do. You can't really get more transphobic than that.

Nobody would really care about being around trans people if influencers like Joe Rogan didn't say they were an inherent problem that need to be dealt with. He cites the accomplishments of trans people in sports as if that is a problem in and of itself... trans people succeeding. Like just the thought of a trans person doing well is enough to set Joe Rogan off and stir up his millions of followers into an anti-trans rage.
IIRC, he was also adamant against a bigger iPhone and a smaller iPad, both which ended up being hit products.

> The term "mojibake" comes to mind [0] - Japan alone had so many encodings that a slang term for text encoded with something different than what your device expected (and subsequently got rendered as nonsensical/garbled text) came about.

Mojibake was not a "Japan has too many encodings" problem. It was a "western developers assume everyone is using CP1252" problem.

> Unicode wasn't intended to be pretty. It was intended to be the one system that everyone used, and a way to increase adoption was to do some less than ideal things, like duplicate characters (so it would be easier to convert to Unicode).

Unfortunately they undermined all that with Han Unification, with the result that it's never going to be adopted in Japan.

It’s worth pointing out that the U.K. government’s recommendations has always been - throughout the pandemic - that little children should not wear masks in school [1].

It may be true that children wearing masks in class could potentially prevent some indirect deaths, but we have to draw a balance. We do this with everything else.

Countless lives can be saved if we ban cars, planes, sugar, dogs, ladders, beaches, and knives.

Where we draw the line is a matter of opinion, not of fact.

[1] “Based on current evidence and the measures that schools are already putting in place, such as the system of controls and consistent bubbles, face coverings will not be necessary in the classroom even where social distancing is not possible. Face coverings could have a negative impact on teaching and their use in the classroom should be avoided.”

Yep. A friend of mine said that he used to work for a company where team A always multiplied their schedules by 3, and team B worked as fast as possible to deliver. The result was that management loved team A because they always delivered on time, and considered team B to be unreliable/not to be trusted/less competent than team B. The reality of course is that the two teams were equally competent. It’s all about how you handle management expectations.

In Japan there are real consequences for exposure of personal information. Companies can be fined x-yen per customer based on the type of PII exposed. In addition to this the government can force a company to cease trading for a certain number of days based on severity (this has already happened at least once). I don't have any data pointing to whether breaches are any more or less common in Japan. But I can say security is taken more seriously, at least compared to other countries I've worked, and that full encryption of PII is now the rule rather than the exception.
I think you'll need to clarify your meaning... I didn't mention the ground. I mostly mean that the United States has multiple industries dedicated to figuring out what makes people happy (or at least keeps their joy buttons pushed) and arranges the whole chain of operations to push them and to convince people to do work to make sure they get pushed.

That wealth takes the form of things in the ground, but also influence and the capacity to satisfy the desires of other countries and the people in them. Some of that is powered by processes that use raw materials that are non-renewable and dragged from the ground, but in the United States a lot of it is based on a hugely robust import export economy... Most of the things that push the joy buttons come from China.
Just a general tip, for all time-- you should treat custom modifications of OSI licenses exactly the same as HN would treat custom modifications to cryptographic primitives. In both cases, don't do them, for the same reasons-- you don't have the domain expertise to understand the implications of what you're doing. And for any case that truly matters, you're almost guaranteed to find out the hard way that the real-life implications are different than what you were aiming for.[1]

Anyway, looks below like you're considering a regular 3-clause MIT, so good going on that. :)

1: Hell, even for long-standing OSI licenses the real-life legal implications may be different than what the OSI community assumed. But at least there you'd be in a billion dollar yacht with many others, as opposed to stranded on a desert island with your modified MIT.

> Emoji could just as well have been encoded as markup.

They could have, but they were already being encoded as character codepoints in existing charactersets. So any character encoding scheme that wanted to replace all use cases for existing charactersets needed to match that. If switching charactersets meant you lost the ability to use emoji until you upgraded all your applications to support some markup format, people would just not switch.
Do you actually need studies? Adults for the most part are more educated, children are not. Therefore it’s easier to tell a child a lie than an adult. You can use basic logic.

I'm wondering if pay raises are also bifurcated?

Spent most of my career in big crufty non-tech companies where the majority of SWEs probably work. Mainly in the finance sector - investment banks, insurance companies, and non-elite hedge funds. The raises were trivial that I didn't even look forward to them or account for them in any major personal finance planning.

Recently switched to a FAANGMULA type company. Haven't even been there a full year yet, but my year end raise was astronomical. In fact, the raise I got for this year from this company is probably bigger than all of the raises I've gotten in 10+ years working for non-tech companies combined.

My friend who also jumped ship from an investment bank to a similar top tech company reported the same.

Is this normal?
