Cameras don't have to be hooked up to my person in order to work. Transaction and card details are only exchanged when an actual transaction is processed, which I must do knowingly and thus consent to (pick up item, bring to counter, pay)

In contrast, the "virtual camera" equivalent involves using my computer's resources, and every move I make on the website is considered a transaction even if no purchase is made. All this data is collected and used most often without the user's knowledge!

The real life equivalent is more like a strip search before entering the store, and a pat down every time you enter a new store department along with a paragraph from you about your intents in this area of the store, and your signature on the bottom.

I'd say that's pretty tiresome for the user.
actual hate speech is very subjective term. #killAllMen was trending on Twitter. Saying all white people are racist is considered progressive.
> But you'll be regretting that you didn't. I can tell you that for sure.

FOMO statements like this do not at all help the cause of trying to show that this stuff isn't a giant scam.
I work in communications and I thought it was hilarious.
Yeah I do know what you mean. I still try to introduce people to the spicier things when I can.

But I don't think it even needs to be spicy to be good. Korean banchan dishes are mostly sesame oil, garlic and maybe vinegar or soy sauce and they make so many vegetables taste so amazing. We've been making a spinach banchan the last few weeks and it's just so tasty.

Also, I only recently realized that baked brocolli (to the point it's crispy) with a bit of oil and salt is the best vegetable I've ever tasted. It tastes like a healthier version of a good chip.

> Incidentally, if you like paneer burgers, you might also enjoy haloumi burgers, which are a similar dish quite popular in Europe.

Ooo I'm curious to try it. But while some people compare haloumi and paneer I think haloumi is waayy saltier and can be eaten easily on its own by frying it (honey on top optionally). Whereas paneer tastes like tofu on its own to me, completely tasteless. I imagine the haloumi burger would be very salty.
I hope you appreciate how disingenuous this complaint is :(. If you want to not be tied to USD, crypto clearly does that. But someone complained that they didn't like having something that wasn't tied to USD. So crypto also solves that: DAI is a decentralized stable coin, using tons of economic incentive tricks to build something tied to USD. You don't have to use it, but that person clearly wanted something tied to USD.

Meanwhile, the banking infrastructure you all seem to love so much continues to not be programmable, continues to have multi-day settlement delays even between your own accounts (that it takes multiple days to pay off my credit card is insane), and continues to be actively exploitative of people with lots of regressive fees with built-in traps that regularly screw over the most vulnerable of people. But somehow that is all ignorable when people want to complain about crypto.

Can't crypto just solve a problem for someone and we can be happy for that? Does it really have to be better at everything at once? This person said they were getting cheaper transfers: they were paying 1% instead of 3%. Isn't that good? Why is it somehow broken if it is done with a stable coin? If these banks you love so much are so smart, why is this person so happy using crypto? Put elsewise: why are they wrong for using crypto?

This is like someone saying "I love sandwiches: they let me hold my food while I am on the go" and someone with a sour face responding "I guess if you like unhealthy heavy food! I love my salads". And I say "they do make vegetable sandwiches: they are healthy and holdable!" and being pushed back with "this is the problem I have with this new sandwich movement: they are attempting to recreate everything from salads". I mean, come on :/. If your salads are so good, why can't I hold them? Oh right, because sometimes I need a sandwich.
> And only after the dealer gives it an immediately preceding check?

Some dealers are qualified to perform the checks and also offer to perform a pre check for free. However cars checked by a dealer would not end up on a statistic of cars checked by TüV.
Don't see the issue, looks like they saved on taxes due to depreciation, the use of stock options to compensate employees, and an R&D tax credit. None of this is remotely sophisticated or fishy.
What? This has been well established in the scientific community for a while. No conspiracy at all here.
> Btw, I dare you go back to a 1980s programming environment and tell me that the programming paradigm shifts are just hype

Been there, done that. I did consulting for a huge company a few years back. They ran their entire business on IBM mainframes running an ancient VSE-based OS.

I had the pleasure of maintaining IBM HLASM (high level assembly) programs with change logs dating back to 1982.

Working with those programs (they were excellently documented) using ICCF wasn't much different from using vim really and the language itself is by far the best assembly dialect I've ever worked with (especially the powerful macro system).

Sure, productivity is much higher in higher level languages if only because you need to write less code. Your Python one-liner, however, can still be as wrong as 100-lines of assembly or 20 lines of C if you make the wrong assumptions.

That's the part that just doesn't change, no matter the underlying technology: garbage in - garbage out. Someone has to write the problem specification and more often than not, that's the part where things start to go sideways.

It's also one of the reasons model-driven development didn't really catch on: MDD only works of you know your problem domain to a T beforehand, because iterating models is a pain; that's rarely the case, though as usually code and understanding of the problem evolve side-by-side.

Explaining a problem precisely, concisely, and correctly so that an AI can synthesise software that hopefully implements it correctly is not as great as a leap forward as you might think.

I'd really suggest taking a look a Rational Rose and similar platforms to get a glimpse at what automated code generation looked like 25 years ago - even back then you rarely had to write actual code (provided the problem domain was well-known and well-specified), even without AI.

The better question is why are Russian trucks and their drivers so different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_OcK0P9WOs
We made drag-and-drop interfaces accessible by allowing users to TAB through the original list, press ENTER on the item they want to move, then use the arrow keys to move the item and press ENTER again when done (or ESC to cancel). After each move, the item's current position, and any necessary local context, was announced via `aria-live` region.

There are other ways that this can be accomplished with even fewer keystrokes, so I can't imagine a scenario where drag-and-drop interfaces would have to be avoided because they couldn't be made meaningfully accessible.

Is it possible to write an interpreter for this bytecode language using RPython, so as to get a JIT speedup?

I think if you write an interpreter in RPython, and annotate it with some directives, you can get a JIT compiler for free. But it wouldn't be "GoAWK" anymore!

Really handy when running AWK scripts via https://benthos.dev :)
I'm still curious how these sites skirt banking regulations, for what is essentially what PayPal was originally (advertised as sending/ transferring money, but between delays and dark patterns, it really ends up in an account under their control, at least temporarily).

If they're going to lock or delete an account (regardless of reason), there should be a requirement that funds are either paid to the benefactor or refunded immediately.
It’s about the base station capacity, in theory. Though it seems super unlikely that an address that’s only 70 miles away would be on a different base station.

This will change dramatically once sat-to-sat laser comms are fully online as it will put more base stations “in range”.
Propositional Density in Visualization (2010)
That only works for the simplistic image of abortion (elective, easy, painless, risk free) that the evangelical death cult has been pushing. It doesn't work for the actual medical reality. The disconnect between the two is staggering, and if you don't know what I'm talking about you owe it to yourself to look into the details of the actual medical procedure. It is not elective, easy, painless, or risk free.

And while I support encouraging people to travel to route around their oppressive backwater hellholes, the ability to do so doesn't mean we should support places regressing towards being oppressive hellholes.
Well, it did seem to be the popular perception before the first Tesla came out and the first SpaceX rocket landed again...
> Did the foundations of what is knowable by science shift during the night?

Yes! The moment the approval committee decides that certain experiments are no longer allowed, that makes some results no longer reachable by science, or at least not in a reasonable manner.
Chromium and Firefox have, in the form of a sqlite database.

You can and should use it. Even if you don't directly, typing in the address bar usually plucks from your bookmarks first.
> News to me. If that’s true, why do conversations about secondhand smoke involve so much rhetoric and so little science?

If the fact that second hand smoking has been proven risky is news you to, even indoors, it means you haven’t even googled the question, and that you didn’t click any of the links at the top of this thread. The CDC page has a literal pile of primary source research and data. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/seco...

Do you really want to know the answer to the question you asked? You can find the answers without talking to me. I fully encourage not reading the rest of my reply and just answering the questions you asked yourself with an open mind. Or is this about debating me with logic alone until I stop responding? Logic doesn’t compete with history. It’s irrelevant whether rhetoric is involved, but for the record the reasons rhetoric gets used sometimes is precisely demonstrated by your response to primary research: you didn’t believe it. Okay, if you discount the science, then maybe reason or emotion can work. If you discount reason and emotion too, then maybe you’ve decided and are closed to hearing any input on this topic?

> If they should have that kind of right, they should have that right in respect to other sources of air pollution like cars or wood fires too. If it’s about risk…

I agree with you, we should all have rights about clean air. But you’re now intentionally ignoring the reasons we already discussed. It’s was never about risk alone, it’s about risk vs benefit. Do you need to jump to strawman arguments after we’ve already covered this? Cars have high value in addition to their risks. Cigarettes have no value. It’s weakening your argument and leading me to believe you’ve simply decided that safety is not a valid concern and that you’re choosing to ignore facts. I’m giving you more credit than this, I know you know that cars have real utility and that cigarettes don’t. Your class distinction is a bit cringey and broadly speaking mostly false, I think you already know that too.

> I think the fact that you go for a disgust-based argument is pretty telling

I think the fact that you’re the one using spin framing and rhetoric here while accusing others of doing what you’re doing is telling. I didn’t go for a disgust based argument, I went for a safety argument. Poop is not safe to drink in any amount, my “moderately low risk” was a cheeky parallel to the smoking safety argument. Poop is gross, so I see why you’re trying to use that against me, but secondhand smoke is also gross.

> this thread has really made me think about public officials’ eagerness to ban it.

Why? Are you confusing what I’m saying with what the CDC says? Are you using my rhetoric to justify claiming that public officials are using rhetoric? Isn’t that jumping to conclusions? You still haven’t yet given a single reason why smoking should not be banned, despite the fact that it’s harmful to human health and harmful to the economy, and has no redeeming values. You’ve only expressed fear, doubt, and uncertainty as a response to both reason and primary source research, with only rhetoric of your own in response.

>Apple controls 50+% of American computing.

Wait, what? If you want to say that Apple controls 50% of mobile compute, then I might be willing to go along with that. But the blanket computing alone is laughable.

You've suddenly just ignored all of the data centers in the US that have very little Apple products seeing as Apple doesn't make a server product. Sure some niche data centers have popped up with racks full of Minis, but those are primarily for people making apps for those mobile devices mentioned earlier.
The key difference is those fields have pretty clear and strict breakdowns of what different people will be doing.

Medicine is a great example. Nurses have 4 different levels that vary from a boot camp equivalent of training (CNA) to requiring an advanced masters degree. (advanced practice registered nurse). Doctors have specific specialities that take more or less time to earn and pay different amounts.

Electrical engineering has Electricians (and even in Electricians, you have a breakdown of apprentices, journeymen and masters) but it also has Electrical Engineers.

Biology has lab assistants and lab technicians, it also had people with Doctorates working a lab. Theres also levels of certification and training that depends on if you are doing Forensics, medicine, research et cetra.

Looking at computer science. It's all just engineers/developers. A company need something built and finds out they really needed someone with a bootcamp level of training and not the Masters Degree in Computer Science. But they have one "Software Engineer" track at their company and they pay them both the same. The guy/girl is a wizard at SQL optimization gets written up because they get moved to a team that requires them to grind out React code.

Some places do have different tracks for different types of devs, but it seems like for a lot of places they have been consolidating their roles, not creating more role diversity. The reason for that is that when your boot camp React dev finds themselves on a non happy path, they can get hard stuck and a "higher" level of dev has to intervene and help, so the company figures it makes sense to go ahead and just get the higher level of dev that can handle it when things DO come up.

Isn't that the meme about Google? That lots of their devs are just doing configuration tweaks but getting huge salaries? I would imagine Google does that so when there IS a problem those people presumably are equipped to go outside their comfort zone and be able to handle it.
The DNC is a center-right party that America's liberal and left blocs vote for because they don't have a viable alternative.

They don't win any votes by supporting legalization (they have all those reluctant votes anyways), and publicly supporting legalization gives their far-right opposing party free ammunition (the DNC wants your kids to be stoned, urban crime, &c.). So it's all downside, with no upside.
It's not just meat that is animal-derived. There's egg, milk, cheese, whipped cream, cream cheese. And without using substitutes/alternatives cooking a truly vegan meal becomes a challenge. Even for vegetarian dishes like cupcakes, veg pizza or veg pasta cannot be made without the animal-derived ingredients. Even the McDonalds spicy paneer burgers use paneer, mayo, butter.

I am from India. And most people here can't have meals without ghee, or tea/coffee without milk.
I guess we’re just waiting for a court case to test this. Smart contract code as an exhibit for the defense, and GitHub comments as an exhibit for the plaintiffs.

We need a smart court to handle it.
Just FYI the paint worklets are also available (at least) in WebKit nightly since around August 2021.

So I'd guess that your implementation could work with a few modifications on iOS, as the worklets aren't hidden behind a compile time feature flag.

Kudos to you, this is exactly why I removed the worklets from my retrokit fork :)

"has no marketing team" is different than "has no marketing".

the stars on github are part of marketing.

good docs are part of marketing.

that tweet from a 3rd party is marketing.

if a project isn't exposed anywhere and has no website (i.e. is completely private), then yes, it has no marketing. everything else has degrees of marketing baked in.
You could write HTML inside your CSS and then use your PaintWorklet to render that HTML onto a canvas.

Start with HTML 1.0 so you don't have to support CSS inside that HTML.

I've not read this particular cookbook, but anything from America's Test Kitchen is generally leaps and bounds ahead of any other cookbook you've ever read. They use a lot more cooking theory and testing methodology, compared to "grandmas old recipe" or similar old wives tales.
Hocus pocus, smoke and mirrors, yadda yadda.

Bottom Line: In most cases, there is no meaningful independent auditing or regulation of any kind.

With few exceptions, no one gets to look behind the curtain and see what is *really* going on. All the details and techno-magic explanations are basically irrelevant because you're still totally at the mercy and whim of the exchanges and those running the "stable coin" to follow them.

In the exception cases, it's pretty much just another bank account with all the same operating rules and procedures but without FDIC insurance and watch out for those transaction and withdrawal fees.
Calling it Web3 implies it is a world changing technology.

There may be something interesting about it, but I have no idea what that could be. It's possible that the cryptocurrency promoters are like the Homebrew Computer Club people of the late '70's and Visicalc hasn't been invented yet.
> Please remember the people at the bottom of the chain here who have (and will continue to) seen a material impact on their business, income or employment due to these (and the inevitable further) changes.

We see this dynamic in so many industries and it's holding us back as a society. <Thing> is a net negative to society, but regulating/reducing/banning <thing> causes suffering for workers.

Push comes to shove, the only justification needed is might makes right.

The “normal” of allowing housing to be constructed as desired is rooted in property rights, which there are countless flavors of, all the way from the way Native American tribes allowed their members to live, to kings and queens to modern democracy and local zoning laws.

This applies across time also, as current generations can “take” from future generations (see water, clean air, farmable land, etc), but the whole who has a right to how much and when is a conversation fraught with disagreements on premise and assumptions.
Have you ever heard the phrase "spinning rust" used with reverence? I can assure you that those phrases are indeed taking the piss out of the topic.
> Saying all white people are racist is considered progressive.

By whom? Not progressives. It is a standard right-wing a
way of attempting to distract from actual progressive statements like “white people, including those who aren't personally racist, are privileged by institutional racism” or “White identity is grounded in racism”.

I think Vice was reading my mind. I've been researching EV's that could work in my area and this [1] is probably going to be my first experiment into EV's. I am currently trying to hold off until there are more configurations and competition but my aging vehicle might force my hand. The EV side-by-side would be perfect for me specifically for going into town for groceries.

Full sized heavy duty EV trucks are a long way out. Ford will soon have a light duty and Dodge may have something slightly bigger given their plans to drop the Hellcat TRX in place of EV's. For full size vehicles my personal preference will be to hold out for 3D printed solid state batteries and more off-menu options to not be web connected.

You never connect to a DBMS. Everything you're doing to interact with it, or a web server is mediated by your OS. You just open sockets and the connection is handled by TCP or IPC or whatever.
Well there's your answer, right in the question: "if you are viewing on a little phone screen in bright light". OTOH, if you are viewing on a big screen (such as, IDK, you might find on a TV), the resolution and compression artifacts become not just visible, but magnified.

I have been burnt out on software engineering for a little while now. I'm decent at it but I no longer seem to enjoy like I once did. I would like to stay in the software industry and have read that it's somewhat common for engineers to become Product Managers. I'm curious to hear how it feels going from being a Software Engineer to a Product Manager from an engineer's perspective.

Do you like writing docs? Was is hard making the transition? What was the biggest surprise?
