The not so happy thing about this is that at this point the entire web is somewhat flawed. Too many sites have produced too much junk content just to game Google. A fundamentally new approach is needed to identify and surface “organic” (whatever that may mean) results. So I suspect (albeit with no data to show for it) that even if we just switched all ads off we still wouldn't be happy with the results that we see.

Google’s revenue model has been at odds for far too long with identifying and weeding out SEO spam. I don't mean 'spam' here in a derogatory way, but rather everyone who has a legitimate and interesting product and has had their back against the wall and was forced to play the SEO game and become a 'search spammer'
As a result 'spammers' (again, pretty much every site these days) 'won' because it was and still is the only way to survive.
Arguments go on the stack, which has a fixed size.
I mentioned Identity in my first comment. I've never found it as simple as Devise though - especially in an API only setting.

With Devise there's a third-party Gem you can use called devise_token_auth which deals with everything automatically.

It cost me $400 to have an electrician instal a 220V NEMA plug in my home.

Granted, it was an easy instal - unfinished, small basement giving easy access to the kitchen and 20 feet of 50 A cable.

It's unlike anything else- with Xbox and PlayStation you can get mostly the same experience on the "opposite" console, or even on a PC. All of nintendo's consoles have followed a similar thread where it adds something that you just don't have on other consoles.

Nintendo exclusives don't hurt, either. But Xbox and PS have exclusives, too.

Realizing that specs are orthogonal to enjoyment, and putting out good games you can't get anywhere else.
All US homes have 220V at the breaker [1]. That doesnt mean its available anywhere else in the home since the only appliance that is necessarily 220V is AC (dryers, ovens, all come in gas) and the AC is typically hardwired.
You also have a lot less versatility in how you use 220 in the US (just look at the size of the NEMA outlets)

[1] Europe was poorer than the US at the turn of the last century and adopted 220 to save on copper. 110, all else equal (and its not) safer. In the US, two phases of 110 come in from the transformer box outside to your box 180 degrees out of phase. Taking both phases, you get 220V.

The Brits, to save even more copper, did something insane - ring circuits
I think incremental compilation and hotswapping are some of those use cases, but I could be wrong about that (I'm not entirely sure if/why LLVM can't do it)

> Because the ruby community generally revolves around rails.

Be careful about to which Ruby Community you believe you are speaking for. Keep in mind that a lot of development of the language itself is happening in Japan, in Japanese, where most people won't be regularly reading and posting on Stack Overflow. 5 of the core contributors live within 15 minutes of each other and meet and discuss issues in person.

If you've watched recent developments in the Ruby Community there, especially in the areas where the Ruby team has made large performance gains to improve the language, Embedded Ruby (as in Ruby running on IoT devices, or mruby, not ERB templating) is actually a very hot topic and isn't even in the orbit of Ruby on Rails.

Japan is still seeing growth in adoption of the language and has a huge number of Ruby conferences. There's multiple "regional" versions of RubyKaigi in Japan throughout the year.

Yeah, it goes so far that I don't quite understand those that say that they use their Switch exclusively docked, or exclusively handheld. I definitely use both, and love the Switch for it (not just for that).

Even the motion controls add value: In games like DOOM, it's pretty cool to effectively have the portable Switch display as a "window" into the virtual world, and move the Switch around for aiming. I'm usually not a fan of motion controls, but that "aiming with the window" thing feels natural, and like something I might do anyway even if it didn't have an effect (like leaning your body into curves when playing a racing game).
I had a boss who lost a new hire to another team. This new hire was an outstanding performer, and the boss simply couldn't see what he had done to cause this. He seriously was in a funk about it for 6 months. Anytime it came up, he went through the stages of grief. Turns out the employee simply didn't like the caliber of teammates, nor the pace of work. He was able to move to a team that tended towards more of a cowboy mentality.

The same manager never fired anyone he hired. He fired a few that he had inherited (even calling them 'deadwood') around other employees. Employees who had worked with the 'deadwood' for decades. But his hires? They could be the worst performers, and even though they were contract to hire, he always hired them. To not hire them would be to admit his hiring practices were crappy. And considering he had little technical knowledge, he was susceptible to hiring people who kissed the ring (and stroked the ego).

Some managers are just bad. Peter Principal and all that. Some are great at telling everyone what they want to hear, both up the chain and down.
As a beginner, I didn't find this to be true. Django worked fine and could do what I wanted.

I suspect that if I were coming from Javascript where "I know what I want to do" if only I could "make Django do it", I would feel the impedance mismatch.

This is a very standard problem--"You can write FORTRAN in any language." Leaving behind the idioms you are used to and adopting the idioms of your new environment takes time and energy.

I get the frustration and even outrage, condemnation, in the comments here.

I don’t want to take away from this.

I also feel grateful Apple created and maintains an ecosystem where I (for a small fee) develop and distribute applications which build upon libraries and infrastructure that took untold developer hours to make, and untold developer hours to maintain.

And I can give this away for free and it’s available to soooooo many people who can carry it around in their hand.

Every developer like me is subsidized by every complex scheme Apple uses to extort money from the successful ones.

And I’m not sure what to think about that.
Thank you for posting this, it is absolutely hilarious and spot on.

I wouldn't even mind some of the cringe posts, if they at least came from people I knew. But, the majority of my feed is posts from people I've never heard of, shown to me because a mutual connection "liked" them. No, I'm not going to congratulate a total stranger on their new job ... or try to comfort them after their dog died, etc.

By comparison, my Facebook feed is currently the worst it's ever been since I started using it in like 2007 or something, but it's still light years better than this.

I do occasionally enjoy some of the full-length articles posted on LinkedIn by public figures (e.g. Ray Dalio), but I have no freakin' idea why he only posts them there.
Lots of anecdata here but no actual data. If it’s just something that moves crime around, then it’s just people lowering their personal risk to let others pay the externalities. Or maybe external lights reduce the absolute amount of crime. I don’t know.

I have no doubt there are edge cases where Bing/DDG outperform Google, but most of the time I have better luck with Google.
> All USD flow from a single institution, the central bank.

Hmm, no.

> Other banks can create debt, but only with permission (the initial money supply) from the fed.

More like a license. But it's no different than me creating supply by promising you to pay. That's really how it works in the banking world (and why the big guys have an advantage: they have a reputation).

> You'd have to really squint to consider that decentralized.

The current system is still relatively decentralized which is why governments and central banks depends on banks (and love them). Which is also why they want to try their hand at a CBDC (because it removes the role of banks)

(1) If the manager did PIP purely as a way to prevent team transfer, then yes I agree that it is clear bad behavior that should be punished. But I am not sure if that is the case. Say this guy was the lowest performer in the manager's team and was on track to being PIPed anyway. Should the manager now be forced to PIP someone else just because this guy is moving to another team?

(2) There are way too many PIP horror stories from Amazon. It is evident that managers even hire people just to PIP them later. In that kind of environment, such bad behavior is encouraged and normalized. Then this particular manager might not be significantly worse than any other person put in a similar position. If the culture is to blame, then scapegoating one manager will just deflect the blame.

If the economy has a down cycle ad spend will drop. This might be what really stings.
Most people are fairly resistant to changing their behaviour because of annoyances. Take broadcast TV for example. From the 50's to the early aughts, TV's only competition was theatres, and its in-home convenience let it win that competition handily in terms of the hours people spent watching TV versus going to the theatre. Television providers took full advantage and the percentage of ads by airtime steadily increased. Shows that were designed around commercial breaks in one era had to be cut down in length and have additional breaks added when rerun in later eras.

There was no meaningful competition, either from alternative media distributors or between broadcasters to see who could offer more actual content per hour. It wasn't until streaming came along that cable TV finally started dying. This isn't a huge issue for cable companies, since most have pivoted into operating as ISP's and streaming itself. It's only a matter of time before cable TV is no longer offered as a service by the companies created to offer it.

Google's search engine has few competitors. Even the search function on many websites is inferior to a google search restricted to that site. The ads in google search results can be scrolled through in seconds, although Google constantly plays games to make it harder to tell where the ads stop. Their search algorithm is now suspicious in how it sorts the non-ad results of many searches. All of this is annoying to users, but is it annoying enough to force users onto other search engines? Google appears to be determined to find out just how much spam is too much.

Will DuckDuckGo or other alternatives to google gain traction as a result of this? Probably some, but probably not much. They likely won't make much of a dent in Google's bottom line until they offer something compellingly superior to Google, just as streaming is superior to broadcast TV.
By arguing that the few should suffer and die just so the many can lead a comfortable life, then genocide, slavery, classism, teacher etc are all totally cool too. As long as the needs of the many are served by it, it's fine. Right?

One theory is that it reduces intermodulation distortion since any particular signal only changes half as much. Another theory is that it was to support stereo, but as you say, the DX7 is mono. I did some Fourier analysis to see if it reduced artifacts from the time-domain multiplexing, but the effect was small.
TL;DR: I don't know.

Great, let's say it can draw 4Kwatt from the wall. It's still nowhere close to a 100K BTU stove (~28Kwatt). To have this much of electric power in the US you'd need a 120A 220V (actually 240 nowadays) outlet. I don't even know if codes allow this much current inside the house.

Pretty sure there exists more than one source of gas.

You only need as much gas as is required to fill the gap that alternative gas providers and heat pumps can't provide to compensate the lost gas.

Another option is to improve the houses such they leak much less heat.

You may have been in the heavy ads group from some sort of A/B experiment on how the number of ads they show affects engagement. YouTube runs these sorts of experiments all the time to improve "metrics". I've heard that there's even a long-running "control group" that doesn't get ads on YouTube.

Remember that they're replacing seabed fibre that was damaged by the eruption - news reports this week say that they went to fish it up this week and couldn't find it (around the point of one of the breaks) - I'm guessing that TDR measurements from both ends give them numbers that don't add up so they know there are at least 2 breaks.

That fibre is a dogleg from Fiji to Tonga - and will get repaired relatively quickly so I'm not sure about "outlives" - certainly there will be people in Tonga who may choose to continue with starlink but it may prove to be too expensive for most people (one the other hand the govt may choose it for some outlying islands)
Upper mgmt generally doesn't give a shit about what the public knows. Amazon is famous for employees pissing in bottles because they don't get enough breaks. No one cares enough to make the warehouse conditions humane. They just do enough PR to feel good about it. The job still sucks, and the pay still sucks.

The only thing that management cares about is how much they're paid, and how much power they have. Look at how Elon Musk behaves. He gets mad/irritated when told by regulators that he can't exercise the power he feels is his right. I actually don't think he gives a hoot about how much money he has, except as a tool for accomplishing what he wants.

Others are more into the wallet than the ego. Do you think Zuckerberg gives a crap about what privacy advocates think? Most people have a fair idea of how far FB spies on them, and Zuck knows they don't care as long as they can share cat pictures with their friends, or post Let's Go Brandon stuff. But you can bet that he's supremely pissed about losing so much money due to Apple's privacy changes.
The problem isn't discovering who is a shady type, everyone knows who they are already. But they just won't get outed or dealt with.

> I just don't buy this at all. This seems precisely as I described it: "well, we have detectors for this and that and these predictive capabilities and these modelling systems, and so ... ta-da, we're conscious!"

No, it's actually, "ta-da, we're not conscious! but here's why we think we are!"

> but he and they are not addressing how it possible for there to be any subjective experience at all.

Because neuroscience will do this by elaborating the mechanisms. Like in this paper:

The attention schema theory: a mechanistic account of subjective awareness, http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00...

An analogy for tech nerds would be how the illusion of multitasking on a single CPU machine arises from imperceptibly fast context switching. Something similar happens in that theory, where our perceptual faculties are constantly switching between signals from our internal representations and our senses, thus producing a simplified but false conclusion that subjectivity is present.

> I would go a little further, even: the whole reason why there is a sense of self is precisely because there is a singular subjective experience.

And I'd say you're just telling yourself a retroactively edited story that there is a singular subjective experience in order to make sense of our own thoughts and behaviours. In fact, this sort of retroactive editing has been demonstrated multiple times.
Part of this is also that a proton isn't a elementary particle. And in fact it's not only the three quarks typically ascribed; that's just only a little over 1% of it's mass. The rest is a maelstrom of virtual particles.

Defining the radius anything more than extremely statistically runs up against the uncertainty principle of all these constituent particles.

What kind of data do you want? It isn't like this can be funneled through a controlled experiment, but non-personal security (military, corporate, etc...) has always relied on extensive outdoor lighting to deter theft. My guess is that it is always just a game of whack a mole (the amount of crime stays the same, it just gravitates to less protected houses or less protected neighborhoods).
To extend your example: make those two programmers maintain 100% unit test coverage, document all decisions in Jira/Confluence, raise change requests and issue change freezes for stability, and you'll have enterprise velocity and stability. Allow them to hack away with little process and you'll have startup velocity and stability. Systems exist at all levels of organisation, just at smaller organisations that system is usually more implicit.
