This is really well made, kudos! Wondering if there's a way to see the list of articles I have annotated?
... but all these reasons have been known for a long time.

And for years they were never an issue for the British government. Just like the Saudis have no problems, or like so many other unpalatable billionaires.

What did he do wrong last week to justify having his assets frozen? Nothing. Someone he may (or may not) be 'friends' with started a war. As a result, the government is able to act as judge, jury and executioner and take his assets. With no legal recourse.

This is similar to how the government of Canada froze the assets of those associated with trucker convoy.

I hope everyone is getting the picture! The government can do what they like, take your money etc, if they don't like what you do. They can write the laws to make it legal.

The dystopian, global future is coming, where everyone has to have a citizen id if they want access to the services that the corporate governance system deigns. If you don't like the requests made of you citizen, well, you can see some of the stick they have in store... IMO the new is an even worse than the governance system we have now - amazing!

If you've never been downvoted, you're not posting enough.
How many miles are you putting on that i10?! An oil change is every 2 years or 15k km. I think it’s a bad example btw, it’s a famously reliable car (the taxi of choice in Bogota fwiw)
In Firefox 98.0, it actually works but is well-hidden. You not only have to turn on dom.webmidi.enabled in about:config as you've already done, but also need to manually add 'Access MIDI devices' and 'Access MIDI devices with SysEx support' permissions for the page in Tools -> Page Info before reloading, as otherwise it silently fails instead of prompting for confirmation. Hot-plugging interfaces after the browser is launched also doesn't seem to work yet.

Isn't the main benefit of next.js proper splitting of server/client code, prerendering and such?

None of that is needed on a native platform.
It's 11 minutes to Mountain View by car. There is of course no free parking because it's downtown. Then it's an additional 25 minutes on the 51 bus.

This isn't a situation where good is being passed up waiting for perfect. It's utterly terrible being passed up for bad but workable.

This plan saves me a fraction of a gallon. The cost of parking alone already eats many times the savings. And this still doesn't cover what 20 minutes of my time is worth. Admittedly, time spent as a passenger is better spent than as a driver.
> Because they "hook" into the component lifecycle.

For me, "hooks" in other frameworks/libraries that I have encountered don't work like that. Usually, the hook is something static and predefined by the framework/library, and _my_ code attaches to those hooks. The way you explain React hooks sounds like we're _conjuring_ hooks in the components willy-nilly, and then attaching things to them. However, I have never found an explanation for the name "hook" in the official React documentation; the explanation might be somewhere in the documentation, but I never found it.

This always happens with Fossil fuels - they're controlled by a cartel, who - especially with the energy transition - have a vested interest in increasing the expense.

The solution is clearly to be building out a massive amount of renewable electricity whilst electrifying transport.

So in 10 years time politics in the US will not be driven by the whims of Saudi Arabia, Russia or some nut-job oil Barons in Southern states.
As someone who worked in graphics professionally in my eyes Inkscape is clunky and other than with blender, this unwieldiness is not very systematic — that means I don't have the feeling I can learn a few principles and apply them in every corner of the software (e.g. modifier keys).

Some things that should be straightforward are not, other things that you never need are strangely easy. Granted as a professional you care mostly about getting things done and have a different (higher) standard about small papercuts and rough edges, because it is software you use daily. As a graphic professional I cannot use software that regularily crashes when I change fonts.

But I can understand the urge to make something new, clean, well thought out and open source in that space — because it doesn't exist. Illustrator is one of the things keeping me from going full Linux (although I use inkscape when I am on Linux).
A .tar file on a file server wouldn't suffice, because you have to store a bunch of metadata for that .tar file. But now you could argue that the metadata could just be a file next to the tar file. True, but container registries are kind of like that + optimization + some useful extra features. If you were to start from a simple file server and think about the stuff you need, then after some iterations you would actually end up with a container registry.
Fun VGA experiment -- thanks for writing it up. I've done VGA with FPGAs but I like how Pico is way cheaper with an open tool chain and great accessories.
Yeah, you can go too far, but I think it's a mistake to dismiss it like that.

If you are a true senior, they probably sound as simple as breathing. But I've seen projects take up months instead of days simply for them not applying some knowledge of design patterns.
Using an NXP ARM Microcontroller? Asked for Access to Their Security Bulletins?
It's quite different. Outside of the US, football ( the original, not US version) is often a community thing, and clubs are bound to their localities. They won't just move to a more profitable location, they're a part of the community. In some countries stadiums are often municipal ( even in Italy, whose top flight is a top 5 one), so the city gets revenue directly.

Also it isn't even in the same ballpark between bailing out a club that's in debt and getting the club in return, and building new a stadium for a billion or more USD, and getting hope in return.
I've had the same thought. I've never seen it confirmed by anyone, but to me, a lot of the original design patterns were stopgap conventions to patch shortcomings in the languages of their time (mainly early Java).

Just look at the Visitor pattern. It's a convention to expose an "accept" method that can be "visited". That's pretty much what you'd do far easier and more naturally with functional programming these days, even in Java. Going in depth, you can see the same possibilities everywhere. "Proxy" should probably be a registerable middleware, etc. etc.

Then again, I might be biased. Design Patterns already let my BS detector go bonkers 15 years ago when I encountered them first, as as academization and complication of software by self-indulgent "enterprise programmers" that I couldn't ever see any advantages to (and these days, I feel enjoyably vindicated).

Funnily enough, in this way they were quite anti-academic, as they came from original research of the "Gang of Four" and I've never seen scientific proof they actually made anything better. I stand to be corrected though.
It comes down to information having a cost. Noise is everywhere in the market. For instance the lawyer who spends the most money on advertising on the radio might not be the best guy to do your case.

Information also decays. Yesterday's best burger in town may not be today's.

EMH is basically wrong. Like the pre-relativity concept of absolute time and space, it sounds like it should be right under certain conditions, but unlike the physical analogy we live in the inefficient information world mostly.
The UK is exactly the same for people not living in the big cities. Same thing for France. Same thing for the North/East of The Netherlands (where I live).

The difference is that we also tend to drive more efficient vehicles.

You wouldn't buy a computer that doesn't run Windows to try to duct tape Windows to it. I've been buying laptops with Linux supported from the manufacturer for 5 years now and I have fewer of the problems I do on my work Windows machine.

Just to give you an idea of the problems on my P15s running Windows:

* I have to run ThrottleStop to stop the built-in thermal limits from limiting my computer's performance to 500 MHz.

* I have to run TpFanControl so my laptop doesn't sound like it's initiating a jet engine test at my desk (this is with or without ThrottleStop so don't blame it)

* The Xbox app frequently freezes my entire machine (I wanted to try out Xbox Game Pass on a work machine, I know sorry)

* My little nipple trackpoint will sometimes stop working, requiring a full system reboot

* The Task Scheduler often freezes up

* There's a printer driver that errors when updated by Windows Update. It prevents other system updates from being installed. I had to hide the driver, which requires a PowerShell script

On my macOS work machine at my job previous to this one:

* full system freezes when waking while docked to my Samsung ultrawide

On my current Linux laptop, a XPS 13 that shipped with Ubuntu:

* very rarely doesn't wake if it screen blanks without me closing the lid

* I've had audio issues in Zoom a few times

If you want to use Windows, that's fine but maybe just point out that you prefer using Windows and not subject the rest of us to your tirades against why Linux users are suffering under their own illusions. Those illusions are well-shared by our Windows-using counterparts.
It pushes trash if you watch trash? For me it pushes more similar stuff of what I already watch.
Why doesn't the city buy lavish buildings for other wildly profitable businesses? Professional sports don't need our tax money, they merely want it. If sports enthusiasts want to contribute money to the football stadium fund, they are free to.
Even in Finland it is one oil change a year, and that includes proper winters...

The price difference buys lot of maintenance. And gas...
Why would the Hackerdome not been in cyberspace/metaverse?
How is it not possible? Here's a simple grammar:

if_stmt <- "if" expr INDENT stmts DEDENT ("else" "if" expr INDENT stmts DEDENT)* ("else" INDENT stmts DEDENT)?

It does require one-token lookahead, but it's unambiguous.
The financials on this are settled. Sports stadiums are an awful financial investment. However, running a government is not all about making sound financial investments. Sometimes it is about pooling resources to provide a joint benefit to society. Other times it is about trying to price in externalities to allow the market to do its work. These two issues are not as settled as the investment angle and are almost never discussed. Sports teams provide utility to people in the region, including people who never pay a cent for a ticket or merchandise. How do you quantity that value and should the government compensate the sports team for that value? I don't know the right answer, but I would like to see some economists at least engage with that aspect of these decisions.

Also the only way to stop these gifts to private companies is likely with a new federal law banning them. It is simple game theory. These businesses will go where the profit is. Any city or state that refuses to pay will lose out until every city or state refuses to pay. The best way to force that is with a federal ban.
This is basically equivalent to asserting that people's risk calibration is skewed too conservatively, and that you can't calibrate it properly until you've actually experienced the negative outcome you're worried about.

While probably true in general, there are some cases where it's obviously not true (like the parachute example - if you haven't hit the ground, you're opening your chute too early).

The more interesting question is then: how do you know whether you're in a parachute case or a frantically locking doors case?
From an energy perspective, a 50 year old fridge is likely not great and probably a new one at some point would have paid for itself (and it's carbon footprint).

There was a story[1] about a guy who kept the same heating boiler for nearly 50 years. Can you imagine how much more he spent on fuel in that thing for 50 years compared to changing to a combi at some point? Condensing boilers are 90+% efficient, who knows what that is.

I agree with this comment, and it reminded me of this Twitter thread of Seny Kamara’s (https://twitter.com/senykam) talk which in part addresses CS education and its narrow quantitative focuses: https://twitter.com/leakissner/status/1488959978530504706
When the Rams chose Inglewood as their new home, my apartment complex roared like thunder. It's like we had just won the Superbowl. There was literally fireworks exploding at my door and everyone was happy.

Few billion dollars later, construction everywhere, and the Rams are playing their first game. There are only two families remaining out of the 30 that lived here. Rent went up and everyone had to move out east, to a worst neighborhood.

Sure we have a stadium now. But the neighborhood has been completely gentrified.
> That's a joke, right?

Certainly not a joke. Unless you live in Manhattan, or happen to luck into a house within walking distance of your job (ignoring pandemic WFH), then in order to maintain a lucrative career you need to get to work, in time, without spending most of your day waiting for buses. That means investing in a car.

A car by itself is of course a terrible non-investment. But if it brings home that high salary, it becomes an investment.
> Not because they are women though, but because they had trouble finding work somewhere else

Because they were women?

I think that, at the margin, very few people make a decision about whether to have kids based on global food supply projections. And, at any moment, a lot of population growth is just "baked in" by the birth rates of previous generations. Taking those two things together, I think there is a good argument for the "prevented starvation" interpretation.
I used to think you have to be pretty good af your job to get trusted to deploy stuff to the cloud for even medium sized companies. As these articles keep reminding me, you only need to fake competence to management to get the green light.

Even if you forget that the cloud is the internet and that the entire internet can reach you over the internet, it doesn't take a genius to set up a password for a cloud service. I have no idea how many of these databases are honey pots, but finding open and vulnerable servers is depressingly simple.

I suppose it's kind of liberating to know that you can be dumb enough to fling patient data into an unprotected cloud server and still get a job in IT. The bar is really set that low.
There's always ftp.
Last Yule I bought a toaster for my brother. All of them felt kinda like crap, flimsy cheap, scratchy action... I was not even looking at cheapest but something I imagine to be reasonably mid-range that is around 50€ mark. After all it is a moving platform, some heating elements and case. Not at all complicated.

Yeah, it depends on the size of the downside in the risk.

I should nick myself shaving once in a while? Ok, fine.

I should miss a flight once in a while? You must be joking. No way, pal.

A person who travels for business twice a week on the company expense should miss a flight once in a while? Yeah ... ok, that might just work for them.
Biggest issue I have with speedify if not being able to use my own server... You can get a dedicated box from them, but it's 100$+ per month on top of the standard plan... And it's still managed by them... I already have my own hardware, and if I wanted to use this for business purposes, my legal and security teams would not approve it being managed by others... I have had good results bonding multiple lte connections, but using my own server would make it a lot better...
I have two things in my possession that are wonders of engineering. One hair trimmer and one restaurant kitchen blender/kitchen multifunction machine. Both made in 1987 in East Germany.

The blender I bought second hand, and it came with a box of original replacement parts and specifications so detailed that I believe I could probably replace the motor if it ever fails (almost 6hp! Take that, Vitamix!). It makes nut butter in no time.

The trimmer could probably be used to cut down trees.

I love these machines, and if they ever fail I don't thing I could ever replace them with anything of similar quality. They are 35 years old. The electronics in the kitchen machine still look pristine. I keep all bearings well lubed. It runs like a Swiss watch. Only very loud.
Nokia.
The real issue is touched on by the article. No mayor or town council member wants to go down as the person who "lost the team". Even if losing that team is an economic boon to the city, it's incredibly unpopular. Many things good for society are unpopular with society.
I agree, make it stop. It's insane. Sacramento CA seems like its still reeling from building the Kings basketball stadium and its effectively made an entire district of town inaccessible and unaffordable for any of the small businesses that make this town vibrant. Minor league sports cost enough to support and teams support local pride and healthier fan followings imho.

Ive been dying for covid to be over forever so I can start going to triple A baseball games. Id rather watch semi-normal humans play than a bunch of millionaires.
Plenty of good devs open to competitive offers down here in APAC.

I joined a US company as part of a follow the sun model. Although ironically I seem to support people who are up at midnight in Europe more than in my area of the world.

Happy to have a chat, see if I can offer any useful feedback :)
Ironically, this person is making a lot of weird assumptions and predictions based on very little data, like tweets.
Seems like the issue is the fig leaf of stadium financing being about jobs and new small businesses and all that good stuff.

It would be nice if there was more transparency ("Buffalo will pay for the stadium because we know you live the Bills one million times more than all your elected officials put together") or if cities banded together against paying these bribes but that's life.

I did really like the ideas for federal level reforms, but one component the author missed is that a stadium has workforce with a fairly unique composition. If you replace it with an office park or museum will they need dozens of hot dog and beer vendors, a massive athletic training staff, a landscaping staff, outdoor lighting technicians, etc? These are working class or middle class people who will be scrambling for a limited job pool. Getting rid of 100 janitors and adding 100 web developers has a cost to it, because it will require 200 people to either move or retrain.
> Often, people will say things like "I would never get into that situation in the first place", which, in the circumstance where someone is driving past a parked car, results in absurd statements like "I would never pass a vehicle at more than 10mph", as if the person making the comment slows down to 10mph on every street that has parked or stopped cars on it.

One could write an entire series of posts on the topic of situations you would not have avoided.

I've got analog bass that'll make you cry and enough compute power to model some pretty weird shit. I'm not sure if I'm a world class hacker, but I think the venue should be looking more at folks who win demoscene compos than top 40 acts. Maybe get top 40 acts to work with demoscene cats.

I'm also not as good as those folks but I'm fine with tipping my hand here and see if anyone else is thinking the same thing. I've got a plan and the tools! Lets go.

You can try one of many non-Google variants of Android (LineageOS, Calyx, /e/, Graphene) or go for Sailfish OS (the successor to Meego/Maemo). There's also postmarketOS, and Ubuntu Touch, but I'm unaware as to how well they're supported.

Here in Germany they have metal shutters that vertically descend and black out all light and sound. It’s common on most windows.

They are permeated with little holes that allows light and sound in if they have not fully descended. If they have then the little holes are folded shut.

I’ve found the same issue where if they’re completely down waking up is hard, so I leave the top two rows of holes open to let in natural light.

I think having a small amount of light gradually filtering in helps a bunch to wake-up.
