You're fighting the wrong battle. Immigrants are not to blame, they're more or less in the same position of middle class Americans of not worst.

Point your finger at the rich and elite that pocket the benefits of the immigrants job and the (as you say) pay gap between US and non-US citizen.

These people are likely to earn from immigrants twice: first the blame them to come to the US and gain political power, then they hire them in their company and give low wages.

If you've to blame somewhere, pointing the finger to those who are in a worst situation is not the answer.
> What makes people willing to swallow Higinbotham's "Tennis for Two" or "Spacewar!" as video game and not OXO(1949) or Nimatron really is about the notion of scene and its associated fiction.

The keyword here is diegesis. In other words, there's a fictional world exposed by the apparatus and things happen in this world, by means of interaction with objects that are occurring both in this fictional world and the rendition on the screen. Game mechanics, rules and narrative content necessarily overlap, by this creating an investment on the side of the player. (Compare the somewhat peculiar importance put by Spacewar! authors to provide an explanation for why shots are not subject to gravity, i.e. weightless "photon torpedoes", or why hyperspace is prone to fail eventually, i.e. experimental "Mk I hyperdrive".)

The aspect of note here is, how this investment is established. As in all games, this is subject to things like riddle, challenge and mastery. So, how is this presented in a specific, typical way? I'd suggest to emphasise the presence of an iconographic viewport and seamless interaction in order to separate video games from other kinds of computer games. Notably, video games present a challenge, which is both tactical and strategical in nature. There are necessarily multiple levels (a hierarchy, not game levels) to the puzzle, with motor skills – as introduced by the temporary aspect of seamless, frame-based interaction – at the basic level. Also, there's an incessant need on the player's side to update her/his/* orientation, of what is going on in the diegesis and what hints may be exposed on the viewport.

(We may even expand on this to establish sub-genres: E.g., first person shooters introduce a specific, subjective instability to the viewport, which adds to the riddle and the challenge of mastery.)

Arguably, in early video games, there was on emphasis on the motor skill and orientation challenge, which contributed to the popularity of person-to-person two player games: For the first time humans of widely differing size, weight, strength, age, and abilities could match on an equal level in a competitive way. (In a way, video games didn't abstract their in-game world as much as they did abstract human players by the very mode of interaction.)
Payments, invoicing, tax, etc are hard because the logic is complex and many things can fail in many places.

Stripe has expanded by offering to take care of that for customers. That has two consequences: (1) obviously that means Stripe has to take care of the complexity with the added problem that each customer has a specific use-case and (2) customers must still make the effort to understand exactly how Stripe's system works and implement extensive checks and reports (That's always the case with payments but even more as you entrust more business logic to a third party).

Not taking (2) seriously will hit you. If you notice an issue because a customer actually took the time to contact you because they have not been charged in several months, it definitely means that you have not followed through on (2) at all.
your description very much confuses theology with discipline.
the visible signs of lent and fasting are only disciplinary questions, which is a kind of an implementation of theology.

i agree that it's sad that people takes only the "dry words of the canon law" into consideration and not open to accept the greater underlaying idea which manifests in lent - or it is the church teachers who should to a better job educating. well… more likely both aspects are responsible at once.

"...Mistakes can also occur in the placement of the "cookie banner": If the cookie banner e.g. covers the link to the imprint, the requirements of the Telemedia Act are not met. According to this, website operators must be identifiable for users. This is not the case if the user cannot reach the imprint directly and constantly, which would be the case with an overlaying cookie banner."

Economists don’t agree with this because they took the classes after 101 ;)

Supply and demand models aren’t used for labor because they don’t fit, because people generate their own demand. It’s better to look at search and monopsony models instead - but more importantly, they make the models and change their minds after observing real world data, which is why surveys of economists say immigration and minimum wage laws etc. are good.
Good point (edit: about diplomatic underperformance if not corruption) You dont want these Harvard law types negotiating since they have no motivation [on average] to develop that competence. USA has constructed a legal system that has oligarchial characteristics. In Germany the top law graduates do not automatically earn 3x salary of graduates of average schools who pass same exam with same concrete skills. So developing competence or refinement of professional skill is not strictly necessary for top American legal graduates as the system is designed and regulated such that their firms earn windfall fees and their entry-level salary is way above experienced lawyer averages. Whereas in German system (for example) the fee differential reflects more of a proper free market without such ridiculous features.

The most important part from the website:

"Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household. Children under two years old, people who have trouble breathing, and those who are unable to remove masks on their own should not wear them."

Contracting COVID is the last thing you want during WW3.
This is naive thinking at best. This isn't a "smart contract".

The only reason a club has membership rules is to be able to selectively apply them and keep applicants out. Stated slightly differently: a club's membership rules are really just "rejection rules".

If big name members of a club want someone to have membership, then there's all sorts of flexibility that can be found within the scope of the rules, ranging from a narrow relaxed interpretation to creative accounting to outright one-off exceptions.

THe best example that I can think of currently is Greece's membership to the EU, where the EU conveniently just looked the other way despite pretty stark evidence that Greece had cooked their books.

I'm definitely and hoarder, but I managed to get a good balance, I stash everything away in one (or ideally two huge hard-drives) and I back it up to Backblaze, keeping my laptop as clean and light as possible. Storage is quite cheap these days. Of course, no duplicates at all, and keep everything organized at all times is a must.

The same with dropbox/gdrive, there are some files that I want accessible at all times, but no need to keep them on my laptop (selective sync them out). If I ever need those files I can simply go on the web interface and get them.
I too claimed that this hack could eventually mean the end of Nvidia, but was essentially laughed at.

If Chinese GPU manufacturers use these files to their advantage and start selling comparable GPU's for half the price or less enormous pressure will build up to allow the sale of these devices, since the general public loves cheap stuff.

We saw the same happening with Huawei equipment, which incorporated stolen source code, bugs and all, but selling at less than half the price. Telecom providers started pushing on governments to allow the sale of Huawei equipment so they could roll out 5G more cheaply and quickly.
1) JS history handling is fragile. A single error can break navigation completely. There's no built-in loading indicator so sites are left with no feedback or have bloated progress bars. And nothing automatically solves for deep links if the app doesn't use routes for different views or relies on other events instead of hyperlinks.

2) Servers are very fast and assembling HTML is trivial. Browsers are optimized for downloading, parsing and rendering HTML as it streams in. Using JS to write HTML after making multiple network calls is objectively slower than a single network request that assembles everything on the server close to the datastore with minimal latency.

3) Every other language is faster and more capable on the server than JS, and all major web frameworks have modern component-based UI templating. Interactions with roundtrips are just fine, and some light JS can handle most other scenarios.

Defi and Shadow Banking 2.0
Surely you mean that the flat is for sleeping not living. They're too small for living, because all the living is done at the restaurants, bars, parks, theatres, offices and so on.

If that's the style you prefer, then you need a co-working space to replace the office, in the same way your place probably isn't big enough to entertain people for dinner so you use a restaurant. And it's too dense with the neighbours to throw a proper party with dancing, so you use the bars and clubs.

At least this is my understanding from having done a bit of both.
> China-Russia-NK alliance

> change the order of things, so China is the new capital of the world

Don't be daft. China has long figured out that it's easier to subjugate the West through economical power than military power. Russia has been trying to do both and NK has been stuck with the latter due to its isolationism and pariah status.

China already strongly hinted that they don't have Russia's back in this conflict and they have demonstrated that they view NK more like an underage sibling they have to rein in from time to time.

There's no point in starting WW3 for China because China is already winning. The real rivalry will likely be something most Americans aren't even thinking of: India. For all the posturing, the US heavily depends on China far more than the EU ever depended on Russia.

The reason Axie Infinity felt too much like a job instead of a game was that the creators were Crypto devs and not game devs - that's the whole idea behind why we created Metafi, so we could allow game devs to focus on building the best gameplay possible instead of managing a crypto economy.

Metafi has a coin that is shared by all games on the platform. This coin translates to in-game assets based on a multiplier that can be set by the game dev. There will be APIs for awarding coins, trading in-game assets (NFTs), and more.
Before the pandemic I would have firmly placed my self on the 'introvert' side of the spectrum, and if asked about the ability to work remote or from home would have said that would be my dream.

Through the last two years I have realized that I am closer to the middle of the spectrum, and enjoy (and in a way need) the thoughtful company of my peers much more than I realized.

However I also enjoy immensely the ability to work from home when I need to focus without meeting and distraction.

And here is my realization (which really isn't very profound); most offices, even those who are "designed" to be nice for the workers, are awful places for focus work. They are however fantastic for the exploratory phase of work, where bouncing ideas happens and the boundaries and limitation of the work haven't been discovered yet.

My dream now is the ability to work 2-3 days remote and the rest in the office. Thankfully the old money financial institution I work for allows this.
Most of the time, the brain does this better than any machine.

That's why we don't have self-driving cars yet.

I wonder if a lot of the original Buddhist cosmology was based on the experiences of meditators having what we now call psychotic episodes, which they would have seen as a glimpse of reality.
My experience of returning to the office a few times already? The same old thing.

People eating at their desks - we have a kitchen.

People having meetings and "quick chats" around their desk - we have many, many, meeting rooms.

People with other annoying habits (which I almost certainly have too) that make me sound OCD but... sniffing, throat clearing, drowning themselves in aftershave or perfume and so on.

Same awful 60min+ commute on a train.

Versus my home office with just me, quiet background music, and exactly zero distractions.

I'm glad all the multi-million salaried bosses that live a few minutes walk and have their own private offices want every one back...
> Its in Amazon's best interest to offer either convenience or lower price, which is what they do

Not necessary. AFAIK, it is very often the case they just force vendors to not offer lower prices elsewhere, or else face non-promotion on Amazon, reducing sales significantly.
> The JVM is a beast, why do you think a good deal of all serious web applications run on top of it?

When I run a Java app-server I'm happy to, in fact it's unwise not to, allocate it the maximum possible RAM the underlying server has. That's because I know for sure JVM is the only thing that's going to be running on a server.

On a desktop it's a totally different story. IntelliJ has to compete with other applications for RAM because I'm constantly multi-tasking between browser tabs, Apple Music, Slack app and what not. So allocating RAM to JVM apps on desktop is a world of pain because I, as a desktop user, just don't (want to) know how to fine-tune hardware resources for different apps. I don't allocate heap to Safari, why should it be the case with IntelliJ? Why can't they figure out? Or maybe there should be a desktop version/mode of JVM that'll figure out ideal RAM size and work with it and expand/shrink as needed?
If you compare that dad story to the SaaS story that this article is about, it's pretty clear whose strategy is more successful.

Even if you solve the security issue, a query can easily bring down the server if it has a complex join query.

This could be solved by only exposing stored procedures, but that just moves the code to the database server instead of the REST service with the same problems as before.

Iran is charting their own path fine after rebuilding / structural adjustment of their economy after 10 years of current RU tier sanctions. Iranian economy has become resilient to the point they currently feel like they are negotiating from position of strength at JCPOA. Of course they're still broke as fuck, but they've reached stagnant economic equilibrium which is not broke enough to prevent them from being a major regional player. All things considered RU is much better positioned continue pursuing their own interests, assuming the sanctions hold.

When I see rust code I have the feeling that as a developer you are in a constant battle with the compiler to fulfill its type system.

I wonder if some unit test / fuzz tests in a less strict language could lead to the same amount of code quality yet at a higher level of work satisfaction while writing the code.
Those don't matter too much if you win first, I suppose.
I think we're beginning to understand that algorithms suck at making the kinds of judgements that make human interactions interesting and worthwhile.

More of everything is not necessarily better. More of everything filtered algorithmically can be actively worse - not just because of poor modelling and information loss, but because the goals of the algorithm (typically related to some combination of hard sell and addiction) are diametrically opposed to a good human experience.

There is such a thing as culture, and algos are incredibly toxic to it.

Incidentally your semi-social idea is exactly what "clubs" provide in the UK.

Not many people know about clubs, which is strange, because they're incredibly influential on politics and culture.

They're subscription-only spaces for mostly upper middle class people in an expensive building - most in central London, a few scattered around other big cities - that offer food, social contact, and networking opportunities.

Most have curated selective membership. You have to be invited and approved before you can join.

They're also split by profession - politicians, lawyers, media personalities, musicians, journalists, creatives, and so on.

There used to be one for London startups. (Possibly still is - I haven't checked recently.)

Is slowness of intelliJ IDEs attributable to Java alone? Android studio feels more sluggish than vanilla IntelliJ.

I had to write an app in JavaFX for a course project. Compared to most desktop apps written using electron, it was fine. But by default it looks like an old desktop app, for which you'd expect some more performance. It maybe still good for enterprise apps where you have some Java programmers.

Also, startup time; It had some noticeable delay.

I tried flutter recently; If you ignore that apps look like mobile apps, flutter desktop apps feel more responsive.

As for paradigm, recent UI-in-code frameworks like flutter seem superior. In JavaFX you can write Widgets in code or in FXML, but java the language or APIs don't fit into that paradigm like Flutter does.
