>by that token just because something is illegal does not necessarily make it bad to do

Well, yeah. Hiding a Jew in 1940s Germany or a native child in 1960s Canada was totally illegal. Democracy functions when the individual is the moral authority because large groups reliably become sociopathic. I suspect that's baked into our biology to some degree, why would we historically form a very large group absent the kind of existential crisis that might require sociopathic behaviour?
May I suggest osmfd? I use fd instead of find on the command line. Also it just means adding one letter and no ambiguity.
I'm glad somebody has referred to truth at last because the habit of truth, according to Jacob Bronowski, is perhaps the primary scientific virtue.

That is, telling and acknowledging the truth about even the minutest facts relating to one's scientific activity, whether in public print or in strictest privacy.
Mid-40s, British family, living in the US since the 80s. We had the TV on most afternoons/evenings, lots of evening news, then sitcoms. But, it went off for dinner (as a family at the kitchen table), off for homework, off at bed (and no TV in rooms), and definitely off if guests were visiting (and not there for a big game).
And Adams even knew better. Earlier in his life he described the end result of optimizing elections for the candidate who best "catches people's attention". And that being that anyone capable of getting himself elected under those circumstances should in no way be given the power of holding office.

The media that is most "interesting" by web metrics is the least worth learning, and in many cases has negative informative value. Social media today is a million Zaphod Beeblebroxes saturating our senses.

You are fighting a straw man: The article doesn't argue that men and women are identical. Obviously there are differences between the sexes.

It just makes the argument that no significant physiological difference between male and female brains has been found except for average size. So the different interests of men and women must stem from something other than the physical structure of the brain. The article compares this to the difference between hardware and software.

the article also makes the separate argument that individual variation is bigger than the variation between sexes, which is why it's a bad idea to separate students by gender, which most of the world agrees with nowadays.

Nowhere does it say that men and women are equal.
Are you at Stanford? Is it really that common for lecturers at supposedly decent universities to blatantly push their ideology in what's meant to be academic education?

He just can't help but keep repeating the word carbon carbon carbon carbon e-waste carbon carbon, but is seemingly unable to utter the forbidden 'nuclear' word at all. Could be a California thing, I suppose. They seem to prefer rolling blackouts to advancing technology for mundane everyday things like energy, as it appears.

Another, totally unbiased and very academic reference is to a blog named: LAWFARE, specifically an article: "How to Start Disrupting Cryptocurrencies: “Mining” Is Money Transmission". Absolutely no agenda here, nuh-uh.

He then proceeds to cite a 2018 paper on decentralization of mining, from IC3, which is headed by Professor Gun, as a supposedly credible source on bitcoin and ethereum mining. Professor Gun launched his own coin around the same time the cited paper was published, and at the current market rates his conflict of interest is measured in single digit billions at the very least. Good for him, but does not make for an impartial research reference, would you cite Peabody Energy on benefits of coal, do you expect them to say it's terrible?

This lecture is simply just DR peddling carbon alarmist dogma and malthusian doom porn for your consumption.

You've literally just read an ideology piece with references conflicted in billions and you believe it's accurate and well researched.

If this is what passes for expensive "education" at a high-ranked university in the US, many more things I found rather puzzling about that country are immediately clear.
I think this is a very widespread idea, I used to believe in it too, perhaps due to our background. However, if you work on translating science to computers, you soon find it's not so true. There are some many ideas in science which are not mathematically encoded, but rather in human language, it's kind of frustrating. The "low-level" sciences like physics have spoilt us with their very math-like nature. But even in those sciences there are a lot of things which are not well-defined, but rather rely on human intuition and language. If you go "upwards" in the stack, you find things like biology where there is a lot of very formal scientific knowledge which is not maths. And I work in linguistics, so just imagine what it's like at this level ;)

> but the very useful things we burn fossil fuels for are reflected in the price

If we imagine a counterfactual where there were no fossil fuels, double-digit percentages of the world's population wouldn't exist.

There is no way that the oil and gas producing companies have made money on the same scale as the value they've created by enabling billions of humans to exist. No way at all. There is obviously something very powerful happening that is more than offsetting the notional damage that they will theoretically do at some point in the future to a relatively small percentage of humans.

If we balance out the harms and benefits that the coal and petroleum miners have caused to the rest of humanity, the ledger is overwhelmingly in their favour. I can't even estimate the numbers involved but based on the fact that I'm not slaving away for a fossil fuel company double digit percentages of my life I can tell it isn't close.
It's on single-word detection where the accuracy for Afrikaans and Dutch is between 50% and 60%. Understandable, considering "het" and "toe" are also Dutch words and "is" is also Afrikaans.

You’ve missed the point. Back in the SysV days, you would log in to the system with SSH. You were logged in as hulitu, with all of your personalized environment variables, most of which were actually copied by ssh from your personal computer. This includes LANG and TERM and almost everything else (ssh has a blacklist, so it won’t copy SSH_AUTH_SOCK and PATH over).

Then you would use `su` or `sudo` to become root so that you could do admin stuff on the machine. When you started a service by running `/etc/rc.d/init.d/foo`, it would inherit those things from your shell. Today that service is running with LANG=en_US, but then next week someone from the EU does an upgrade and suddenly it is running with LANG=fr_FR. Oops! The error messages are still in English because you never localized this daemon program, but now when it converts numbers into strings it uses the wrong thousands and decimal separators. I hope that isn’t breaking anything, or silently corrupting any data.

This is a problem that systemd explicitly solves. All daemons launched by systemd are started in a fresh environment that inherits nothing from either the user who asked for it to be launched or from systemd itself.
Technically it wouldn't be hard, and stuff like Substack makes you think it's possible. The problem is getting the authors and publishers to agree to it. Consumers will never be able to micromanage content; one thing we've forgotten in the day of swiftly switching between ad/news platforms is that traditional media does serve a purpose as consolidators. Only the most wonkish will seek out individual writers and pay for their articles. If writers could make money that way, they would. But they have to go under contract with whomever will pay; and the WaPo isn't going to let you get through their paywall and read one journalist's post for 10¢.

Also, a dime here and there doesn't pay for a middle east bureau or a team of reporters to cover an election or a war. It's unrealistic to expect reporters to risk their necks on the possibility of keeping an audience and it just might lead to the kind of unanticipated negative results that online advertising did.

Me, for instance, I'm done sending any money to Matt Taibbi until he goes back to Russia, drinks at least four gallons of vodka, and gets an interview with Vlad. Should he do that for my $1? Fuck no! A world where we pay journalists directly is a world without editors, where you can't trust any information to be vetted at all. In all probability it's just some lies their personal subscribers want to hear. They may be hired whores, but at least if they work for a newspaper you know who hired them.
That's definitely true, in it's historical context things are a lot different, what I'd consider good mass production design might not have even been possible back then.

The "Truth to materials" idea makes a lot more sense considering that cheap faux veneers and the like used to just straight up fall apart, and the "No extra ornamentation" idea makes sense when you don't have a CNC machine.

Still, it is odd that the modern minimalist movement is so similar even though the economics and engineering has changed. It seems much more philosophical than pragmatic in it's current iteration .

The best of modern design makes "Cheap trash" into a feature rather than a bug.

A cheap membrane button might wear out, and a Bauhaus engineer will think "What's wrong with a good old volume knob? I'll pay $3 for a pot that isn't scratchy".

In a more reasonable modern design you'd have something like a rotary encoder or a capacitive touchscreen, and DSP volume control , in the same chip that was also handling your real-time speaker correction and modeling, WiFi control, etc.

Obviously, there's going to be an all analog tube amp that sounds as good or better than your $2 speaker and mini supercomputer driving it to pretend it's not crappy.

But you probably won't hear the difference unless you're an elite player in a great room, so it's only relevant to the top enthusiasts.

Bauhaus encourages people to fix problems by simplifying, modern design says "I bet I can make a capacitive encoder only a little more expensive than a good pot if I make ten million of them and use some more DSP to fix the shitty signal, and in the process I'll get these 8 new features for free"
You say that like we're not still helping :)

This is one of OpenBSD's shortcomings. While I like the fundamental design of all the file systems living contained within a "normal" MBR/GPT partition, the lack of advanced tools (no logical volume management, can only grow file systems but not shrink them etc.) has vexed me a couple of times during my 22 years of using OpenBSD. Thankfully it doesn't take long to get a good view of the storage requirements. I recommend playing around with OpenBSD in a virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox or so.

Investing in a company though is basically doing a crowd sourced valuation on the future cash flows of the company.

It doesn't matter if you see it that way or not. Your buying and selling is still voting in a sense on the valuation of the future cash flows of the company.

Buying and selling BTC is like buying or selling gold. There is no future cash flow to value. It is purely pricing based off supply and demand.
As others have alluded to, I think the situation is different exactly because there is at least a real potential for competition. Epic seems to take a good swing at this. Sure, a huge market share _favors_ Valve in this case, but that's nothing compared to the technical infeasibility of the same approach say on iOS.

The PC remains an open platform, even MacOS to a degree (albeit apparently less so as of late...) and Valve have aggressively campaigned for it to stay that way. Competition there is possible.

I remember the debates from ~10 years ago around Microsoft's moves towards a more AppStore-like experience on Windows, where Valve really led the charge against it. The move towards SteamOS and Steam Machines seemed to be part of their reaction at the time. And it seems to pay off big-time now, not just for them but also for users, Linux users especially of course. :)

That's exactly what I mean - none of this matters. The maintainer does his job well and GetX does solve the problems it claims to solve nicely. Use Obx with a GetX controller and you are done. The other parts of the project, like the routing, are an option if it fits to your app.

And sorry, I really think this stated clearly is helpful. It's not worth your time to even look at alternatives. Sure, that could change in the future if the plugin gets abandoned, but it has seen good maintenance so far and zero breakage. Everything else to my eyes is FUD.

I agree that this is most likely incompetence.

I don't agree that this shouldn't have been caught. Anybody doing a study on this data should notice that something was off, and asked themselves "why". Peer review should have similarly asked. If that's not happening for data that's off by an order of magnitude, that's a serious issue that undermines trust in our system.

"I stick to my original conclusion that this is a wild conspiracy theory."

Not sure why you're bringing this up. I never said it wasn't. My point was that by ignoring the conspiracy theory parts, there are some interesting questions here about specific pieces of data, or why some issues weren't caught. So there are subjects to rationally explore, like inattention to detail or lack of curiosity by researchers and reviews when numbers are so off, or is there a protective mechanism that explains why pericarditis did not rise as one would expect it to (based on the studies in the general population showing excess s attributable to covid and the vaccine).

I understand your frustration in what Adobe is doing, but your post is just flat out wrong. Your projecting this annoyance onto everyone and this product too.

‘ So I'd say XD never had a chance because it launched after the customers left’, according to my search Creative Cloud has 26 million paid members and is only increasing, at a fairly healthy rate too.

I hate it too and so do most that pay it but there customers certainly didn’t leave and this certainly has nothing to do with XD failing, the post explains quite clearly the issues.

A lot of creatives that use/would use XD already have a subscription to creative cloud that would pay for it, so it’s irrelevant, you just wanted to moan about the subscription and attach that complaint to this.

FP solves some issues but simultaneously introduces a new set of issues which creates new 'No true Scotsman' debates around ways to address those new issues... It's like the joke that there were too many competing standards and so somebody decided to invent a new standard to make all the other standards redundant... The net result of this is that we end up with n + 1 competing standards.

IMO, the biggest problem I often see with FP code bases is poor separations of concerns which leads to spaghetti code which is hard to read and maintain. When some state is not co-located the logic which is supposed to be operating on it, you're already throwing high cohesion out the window... And when you do that, it makes is harder to separate the responsibilities of different components because there is no clear ownership relationship between the logic and various bits of state... With FP state can end up being mutated all over the place and it's hard to know who did what.

Is there any Flutter-like alternative but using TypeScript? Dart feels too weird.
GetX is a very high-level API for Flutter, it works for simple things, but as you go on you will realize how restricting it is. It abstracts away details not meant to be abstracted away. It's just bad design, and it's anti-patterns will bite you.

Just learn how to do things the proper way, because it's not that hard, and much more expressive and clean.

If you go for Flutter job it's best to not mention GetX either.

>As others have said, the usage of similar words is no convincing evidence for homogenized ideas

I disagree. Words are used to convey ideas, so if the space of words is shrinking, one should assume that the space of ideas is shrinking. It's possible for this not to be the case, but if word-space is shrinking then the burden of proof should be on those who claim that idea-space is not shrinking.

Maybe we could use embeddings / nlp analysis to determine whether idea-space is shrinking. Or just get a bunch of people to read abstracts from different time-periods and rate how similar they are to one another in their semantic content.

It is funny to see this theme getting repeated in various domains: at the same time, you will get users who complain that there are not enough choices for them in domain X, while others complain that there are too many choices in the same domain X. And usually there is no single best solution to rule them all.

Your comment is correct. As far as I know, "x" still sounds /ʃ/ in Galician, Basque and Catalan. In Spanish, it became /x/ centuries ago, and the spelling changed to J/G. Nowadays you only see the X in old-fashioned spellings like Quixote, Xerez o Ximenez.
