What do you think of WinForms?
Oh, I agree with you. It absolutely comes down to the organization.

And like you said the organizations that pay very well...don't tend to use .NET. Which is what I've been seeing "in the wild".

At this point, it's just becoming increasingly hard to justify sticking with it. Especially considering I could make more money and not have to deal with so much legacy or poor development practices all the time.

In defense of those organizations though, in my experience, the interview processes have been very reasonable, i.e. no LeetCode. As long as you haven't been sleep walking through your career, it should be pretty easy to get a new position.
If you follow crypto regulatory clarity with even the smallest curiosity you'll find these crypto companies are _begging_ the SEC and IRS to be more clear so they can comply to existing laws.

This hugely successful company wants to exist legally and understand the laws that apply to them. This much has been obvious for a long time now.
Installing Windows on an Apple laptop is easy. There's no real reason it couldn't be easy to install Android on an iPhone. Apple has spent a lot of time building software controls to make it impossible, and sues people who try. It's really not asking that much of Apple here - they would save money if they stopped trying to make it artificially difficult to switch from iOS to Android.

They could also pick up customers.
Dell monitors are pretty nice and have high quality. About the only thing I'd buy from them though.

> How do you suppose to quantify that? How do you suppose the Fed should quantify that? How do you suppose the parent poster can justifiably say we're at full employment without a hand-wavy appeal to authority?

The FRED numbers saying who is seeking work is the data and far supersedes the source you're not even naming. I'm guessing you're upset because a certain % of the population isn't in the workforce. Well, that's not what full employment is. Random commentors are on the internet don't decide the "full employment" really is. The term full employment applies to those people that are seeking work and can't find it. Unemployment is quite low.

> We also have been told for two years that inflation like this was impossible

"Inflation like this". I'm amazed that we've returned to inflation levels that were the norm for many, many decades during times of relative prosperity, and inflationistas think that they've suddenly been vindicated. No, I'm sorry, 7% isn't the Zimbabwe Republic inflation you've predicted for decades ad nauseum, and no, we've not suddenly adopted a Soviet command economy.

One can use views and modification triggers to split the public interface and a private implementation of a db.
Whether it's feasible or worthwhile - it depends of course...

It doesn't help with migrating the production dbs though and it's because of this I generally agree with your sentiment.
I had a T30 that ran 24/7 for about 10 years but started having machine checks, but I was too lazy to see if it was fixable, so I just bought the T40 to replace it. The T30 was a solid machine and I never had a problem with it. I can start to hear some fan bearing failure now in the T40, which means they're not using ball bearing fans and that really pisses me off.
Love this idea. I could imagine this being a great way to alert people to product recalls, or even start class action lawsuits in extremely serious cases.
Any industry. But big tech tends to have less of a YOLO attitude to securities regulations. Public scrutiny is so high that crypto-style unvetted gray area products like Facebook's Libra don't have much change of succeeding.

> Generally email lists these days only accept submissions from those on the list.

I always assumed that, if spammers were intent on exploiting mailing lists, they would sign up for the list or crawl the archives to figure out who's on it.

Most of the spam I've seen moderating a web forum seems to be aimed at search engine indexes, and not at the forum users themselves. This is why the spammer would start out by copying questions from a different website*, then start silently injecting their spam links later, after the software stops sending the spammer through the mod queue every time they include a link. They don't even want the forum users to see the link; it's entirely for Googlebot's eyes.

Obviously, this is just as applicable to mailing lists as it is to forums, as long as the mailing list has a public archive. We can assume that if mailing lists aren't receiving as much abuse as forums are, it's because the spammers don't think the ML archive has enough page rank to justify it. A lot of them even use human beings in sweatshops to solve CAPTCHAs, if you're thinking that would help.

Forums have the ability to remove all the bogus posts after someone notices the spam links. But how would you remove them from the locally-stored archives that mailing-list users maintain? I brought up USENET cancel messages for a reason: purpose-built discussion board software has needed this ability since the early 2000's at least. You can't just wish the need away by deciding that some sense of free speech is more important, and it makes no sense to advocate for it if your anti-spam strategy is actually to just remain unpopular enough to not be a target.

Your best example of a dangerous theory is Ivermectin? How many deaths has that idea caused?

That's the problem with censorship/cancellation/deplatforming. The standards are very loose and selective. You say that a theory about Ivermectin is dangerous without a shred of evidence. Maybe it's wrong. Maybe people died. But I doubt it's of any significant scale. Probably it's just snake oil.

But how many morning TV hosts repeat the latest health food craze that's just as dubious? Why aren't those labeled "dangerous"?

The answer is that it's about politics, authority, and group identity; not health. You are really saying that JR has identified with the wrong tribe, and so it's time to expel him. And the fact that doctors (currently) agree with you is the justification to do so.

Life is complex and nuanced. Relying on authorities and groupthink works most of the time, but I'm glad not everyone does so or we would be in a dystopia.

Saying JR is a crackpot and ignoring him is fine, and that's probably where the smart money will be. But trying to ostracize him is not OK.

I don't understand this. Older protocols don't keep any state. Many people were quite upset when old Usenet archives came online. IRC, XMPP, by default, servers don't keep any state.

So why is that Discord would be required to keep state?

And then the freenode story shows, even if you effectively lock up all meta data. People still think IRC is great and move to the next network.

So let me see if I'm understanding this, knowing nothing about cosmology other than what I've read on Wikipedia:

Black holes pull in matter, but as the matter falls into the black hole, before it reaches the event horizon, it starts to collide into other matter, which can cause a lot of heating, which can cause gas jets to erupt outward. In the case of a supermassive black hole (such as the one theorized to be at the center of our galaxy), the gas jets could be so massive and hot that the gas could pull itself together (via gravity) and become one or more stars.

I've had trouble finding clear jargon-free sources to explain how these lending platforms and various defi lending platforms generate yield.

As far as I can tell it mostly works by token inflation. Celsius, Nexo tokens, Compound and Aave tokens for example.

But these tokens are given as a reward to yield farmers so there is a huge sell pressure and yet I don't understand who is on the buy side. Why would you buy these reward tokens. It seems strange to me.

> This is a little bit overdramatic, given that they only exert that kind of control over the frameworks that they wholly own and control.

Would you be fine with being taxed for breathing if two or three companies hypothetically bought all the forests in your town or even state? After all, they own the things producing the oxygen you breathe, it only seems reasonable that you'd pay them.

Sometimes, maybe it's not reasonable for companies to justify their bad behaviour simply because they "own" something.

> Nobody ever accused Microsoft or Sony of "getting to decide what games were allowed to be made" because they strictly controlled what works are allowed on their platforms. There are always other platforms one can publish on.

I wouldn't try to save Firefox, I'd try to save the benefits of an open web (I'm assuming some variant on that is their actual mission statement but not checked).

Firefox itself is just one in a series of reinventions. I am at peace with using a Firefox branded chromium fork in some future date as I think a balanced corporate sharing economy similar to Linux is probably the best we can hope for.

On that theme, some kind of more loosely combined ecosystem that involves internet archive, Wikipedia, Mozilla, OSM, Atom, open standards, free software, royalty free tech and democratic governence and pro-consumer advocacy in a global context is probably a good idea, to counterbalance large corporate interests. It probably already kind of exists in some ad-hoc manner, but further moves in that direction would be good.
> Japanese authorities sentenced a 24-year-old man to one year in prison, suspended for three years, despite the man making only $45 from his exploits.

Insane huh! This will not solve the problem, but will just increase police hostility. No wonder, why people disdain them.
I’m surprised by the outrage to the teaching style, specifically people taking issue with the expectation that students take questions to office hours. Perhaps many who have studied math have forgotten, but “so and so is left as an exercise to the reader” is basically a trope at this point. I’d even go as far to say that you can’t really learn all the content in a math textbook without talking it over with someone. Math text books aren’t very dense, yet it can take a day or more to fully grasp a few pages. Simply adding more exercises, even with answers, isn’t necessarily going to deepen one’s intuition. Which brings me the specific class this article is about: linear algebra. LA has to been one of the worse taught classes, and that seems to be universal. Things like determinants and Eigen values are drilled in students’ heads without developing the intuition for the subject first. They’re given examples without context, which is what the girl described in the article seems to be struggling with. She probably still would struggle to learn LA even with answers to the examples.

I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that a commonly agreed upon legal fiction has “rights”. “We the people” are the ultimate arbiters of what companies can and cannot do, in this case the government of the Netherlands acting on behalf of the people of the Netherlands is going to say what Apple can and cannot do in the Netherlands.

Apple has no “right to profit”… no company does. They are *allowed* to profit.

What does this mean in practice for a standard laptop?

I mean, every laptop supports the classic "turn up fans when CPU gets hot" and "throttle CPU if it gets very hot" - is that not sufficient to let the CPU operate as fast as the laptop's thermal design will permit?

The Laffer Curve is pretty obviously trivially a real thing, the contentious part is the parameters defining the curves and/or points in multidimensional tax policy space where the Laffer Curve hits a maximum of tax collection and where variation leads to decreases (or no change if there is a ridge maximum and the change exactly follows it.)

Well, also the usual one-dimensional presentation of the tax-policy space that goes with the curve, but that's not so much contentious as obviously wrong.

The people who think it is important tend to have a religious faith that the status quo is in a space where decrease of taxes in any aspect of tax policy moves is back toward the maximum, which, even if you accept the existence of the Laffer Curve, is a claim which needs a lot of justification which is never offered.

My children in Ontario public schools eat inside -- always have. Strangely, when they eat, they even take off their masks and see the faces of their classmates. Even more strange, they see their classmates faces even with masks on, just a smaller portion of their faces.

Today is quite cold, so they're not having outdoor recess at all. They're staying inside. Eating inside. Maybe your school district has different policies?
I found this to be very insightful. A good read for anyone wanting to do better at putting their ideas out there (aka me). Sometimes I consider not reading any comments / online feedback, but I think this article makes a good argument for the value that online feedback can provide if your goal is to effectively reach people. But then I also see some benefit of ignoring that and maintaining artistic or value integrity. Sometimes people produce amazing new things because they ignore what others tell them. Or maybe despite it? I don't know, just gets me thinking...
Sure, perhaps not 100%, but I don't see how this lends any strength towards the article's argument that smartphones are making the world less equal due to some perceived content-creation imbalance between the two platforms.

Or do you want to have an actual adult conversation about how we can actually solve GHG emissions by properly internalizing the costs of polluting via these dirty sources, rather than wasting political and social capital on a thing that uses <1% of the worlds energy, and if it disappeared tomorrow would have almost zero effect on our planet's climate trajectory?

No, they've overshot dramatically.

The only model coming close to being accurate was the INM-CM4 model, which predicted a mild 0.1C increase per decade.

All of these models have done a poor job of predicting cloud cover albedo and sensitivity. There is no good model for predicting cloud cover over decades of time and it turns out it's one of the most critical factors in the climate system.

Matt Levine has already discussed Texas Divisive Mergers w.r.t. J&J case:

"It does seem … wrong? Like, obviously, if you run a big company that has big liabilities, you’d like to be able to just get rid of the liabilities. And obviously companies have tried, and there are simple approaches (spin off the assets and leave the liabilities, etc.), and those simple approaches don’t work because generally it is bad for a company to be able to just get rid of its liabilities. It would be weird if there was a cheat where doing it as a Texas two-step merger did work."

I just got a Google Pixel, after a few years on Samsung devices. I've rooted a few times in the past and just went through the process again. When I have a rooted smartphone I really feel like I have a mini computer in my pocket, otherwise it feels like I have this fancy content consumption and notification tool.

I've gone for many month stretches with no phone, and learned to live the old fashioned way again. Arrange meetings, look up directions before leaving, etc. This tended to give me problems in my marriage though as I wasn't available to be contacted while I was out. I was considering a "dumb phone", but I enjoy using slack and having my work calendar available to me, otherwise I will forget meetings.
