Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my understanding:

- Bell's inequality (one version of it) states: for all independent A, B, W, P(A & B) <= P(A & W) + P(B & ~W). Since W can allegedly either be true or false, Bell's inequality holds: P(A & W) + P(B & W) = P(A) or P(B) (if W is true or false), and both P(A) >= P(A & B) and P(B) >= P(A & B) (since A & B = true requires A = true and B = true)

- However, Bell's inequality does not hold in quantum theory. There is a way to get seemingly-independent A, B, and W (from measuring entangled electrons' spin), where P(A & B) > P(A & W) + P(B & ~W). This suggests either:

- W is not either true or false, it can exist in some in-between state, meaning we can't simplify P(A & W) + P(B & ~W) into P(A) or P(B). This sounds a lot like quantum superposition.

- Or, even though P(A & W) + P(B & W) might simplify into P(A) or P(B), since we don't actually know, P(A) >= P(A & B) or P(B) >= P(A & B) does not prove that P(A & W) + P(B & ~W) >= P(A & B). This sounds a lot like the electron slit experiment.

- Or, the condition "A, B, W is independent" is impossible because there are no such thing as independent variables. This basically throws Bell's inequality out: if W influences A and B and A and B influence each other, and you can't prove how they influence each other, you can't prove that P(A & B) = P(A & W) + P(B & ~W) (for example, maybe in one particular scenario which experiments can never isolate, P(A & B) is almost as likely as P(A), but P(A & W) is much less likely than P(A) and P(B & ~W) is much less likely than P(B)). This is superdeterminism
IIRC the lesson there seemed to be "you get what you pay for". Everyone was initially happy with the cheaper "solution" that Leon negotiated, but in every case it blew up and became a costlier problem in the end. Each homeowner would have been better off if they'd just done the initial expensive thing rather than eke out a deal. Of course, we're talking about a fictional TV show, so your real-world mileage may vary.
Reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (Pulitzer prize about 20 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns%2C_Germs%2C_and_Steel ) made me read your sentence and think "every clause this person wrote is well known to be plainly false".

For long-haul flights, it might still make economical sense to have a stopover point. A plane carrying all the fuel it needs for the full flight will burn more fuel in total than a plane that's only ever carrying the fuel it needs for only half the flight because of the weight difference.

As others have mentioned, Anchorage is a big cargo airport, and the fuel savings are one of the reasons.

> The fleets they were able to build in large quantities due to the places they had colonized providing long pine, cotton, and other materials they did not have at home?

> "Local market value" - you mean under market value, because they were pressured or outright forced to by their colonizers?

There were centuries of peaceful trade between Bengal and Europe before the invasion and exploitation you talk about happened. During this time Bengal/India could have made their own ships and gotten the same wealth from trade, but they didn't. East Indian companies grew a lot of their value during this period, and ultimately became strong enough that they could outright conquer their trade partners and therefore get the goods for free.

> Basically everywhere that Europeans colonized that already had wealth, commercial production, etc., saw all that wealth extracted from them

I never denied that colonization was bad for the people in those areas. I just denied that the trade that happened was bad for the region or that it was unfair. When the European powers conquered the area and became rulers it was bad, but that means the conquest was bad not that the trade was bad. Before the conquest Bengal had benefited from the trade with European powers.
I never went to college, instead I got a job and worked like you say at age 18. I then worked my way into software engineering. Compared to my siblings (and virtually everyone else in my family, who took more traditional routes), I’m far more independent and have a stable career with no college debt.

I’ve heard of others talk up the college experience, but I fail to see what’s so special about it. What exactly did I miss in my development? How exactly am I different (besides having a 4-6 year head-start in the working world)?

Parties and friends are also made outside of campus, in the adult world. Working a job at a young age and having to be responsible for yourself builds life skills early. Some of which, my college-educated friends are still having trouble building well into their 30’s. I know some that are terrified of “growing up”: they keep earning degrees or still in their 2nd masters program, accumulating debt that is clearly unsustainable. Many are in fields that inside the sheltered and honestly, kind of bizarre world of academia look nothing like what actually happens in the real world, and they are in for a very rude awakening when that house of cards comes tumbling down.

Every time I meet someone who went to college, if you’re in the same job as them without having a degree, the default response is “but I got the experience”. Part of me thinks this is some kind of rationalization so they don’t have to accept the fact that they might have just been swindled and could have just as easily did what I did and get the same outcome.
I was at an office supply store trying to buy a chair and an employee told me they didn't have any more of the model I wanted. I pointed to the chair I had just been trying out and he said it was a floor model, but they didn't have any in stock. I asked if I could buy the floor model, and he said yes, but the floor models were more expensive. I said, if anything, the floor models should be less expensive because they were used, he agreed and gave me a discount on the floor model.

Negotiating for price still feels very weird to me in most circumstances though.
Though you don't actually need to enforce keyword arguments, any good IDE will give you the (positional) arg names if you mouseover or w/e, so as long as the positional arg is named `timeout_ms` instead of `timeout` it should still be fine.
Fear not; they'll deprecate Chrome OS and Stadia in the next few years and add it to https://killedbygoogle.com/ , which I see has just added AngularJS recently. Google Cloud Print stuck out there too, since we had a big thing about rolling that out at work just a few years ago as the future solution for all our printing needs.
Thank you. Analyzing this kind of data is the kind of thing I'm talking about to try and get to grips with the risk-management calculation involved.

But even if there's no medical flaws with this study, it doesn't necessarily answer the question to me because this overall point might really be more of a psychological question mark than a medical question.

If you tell people they had Covid, some portion of people who have been stressed out by the media focus may panic and mentally exaggerate post-viral symptoms based solely on the fear they feel with Covid over the flu, even if the actual medical conditions they experienced would not cause them to panic if they were told they had the flu.

I think a study that would actually illuminate here is to tell half the patients who had Covid that they actually had the flu, and telling half the patients that had the flu that they actually had Covid, and then doing a comparison on how peoples' perception of which illness they had impacted how frequently they reported symptoms. (I don't know, but I doubt that would be considered medically ethical though.) My guess is that the media focus on Covid is impacting how people choose to go to the doctor regarding post-viral symptoms and there's no real way to measure this without some unusual experimental design.
Based on my experience, the primary reason high school kids had jobs was to buy a car.

For various reasons (safety regulation, emissions requirements, minimum wage not keeping up with inflation, insurance outpacing inflation, cash for clunkers etc…) it’s now almost impossible to afford a car working a few hours at McDonald’s.

There’s also far more fast food restaurants per capita than there used to be, and food service/retail make up a larger part of the economy in general.

To top it off, the age of the average American has increased almost 10 years since 1960, so there are just fewer kids to do the jobs.
Martin Heidegger’s The Question Concerning Technology is relevant here.

I do not disagree with you, but Heidegger makes some very important points about how “just executing” does not imply guilt but it does not imply innocence either. It’s complicated.

Oh, cool, a recent high-end laptop that works well with linux. Could you share the model?

I walk through the "what's the break even temperature" elsewhere in this thread (where I pasted the same URL).

Also, it is kind of a moot point. If you're putting in central air (not a minisplit), it will probably automatically fall back to natural gas or resistive if it gets too cold outside. (Too cold should be something like -5F or less, assuming it falls back to resistive.)
Doesn't work too well when your comparison function is faulty, in particular olfactory fatigue.
I bought Sublime Text through v3 but didn't really use it anymore, so declined to buy v4 (so far).

It's interesting you mention LSP support, because that is basically why I stopped using it — the as-you-type auto-completion, error/warning highlighting, and doc/reminder/hint functionality was sorely lacking (compared to leading non-native editors like VS Code / Jetbrains).

I just fired up Sublime Text 4 and opened a vanilla Angular project to try the TypeScript support.

const foo = new Hoge();
foo.titleId = 69;

Unfortunately, while it did offer to autocomplete the titleId property, that property is from a completely unrelated class to Hoge that isn't imported in the current file (but I can see in the hover popup where it Sublime is getting the definition), and also that property is a string, but Sublime lets me go ahead and assign a number to the property without flagging it as an error.

To me, these basic features are table stakes for an editor in 2022, and should hopefully "just work" if you open a TypeScript file. But are you saying these features can now be made to work in Sublime (perhaps with some configuration, or something)?

There was a lot I liked about Sublime back in the day, but I felt like it just failed to keep up with the basic-level state of the art for a code editor. I'd be happy to find that I'm wrong about that, though.
I think it's interesting you chose Brother here, because Linux support is a first class citizen -- they not only offer CUPS drivers, they offer Deb and RPM packages that also set up dependencies.
The solution to this is as old as salt:

> There are no great cross-platform toolkits.

True. But there are several entirely adequate cross-platform toolkits. Pick a toolkit, not a platform.

I'm sorry, but if a language forced me to write str.len_utf8_bytes() every time I wanted the length of a string, I'd just stop using that language.
Chiming in to add - Lasik!

I saved and saved to get mine in my early 20s, and assumed it's just the price you pay like anywhere else.

About 8 years later, went to same place for my wife and between age and experience I just said 'ah, sounds like too much we'll go elsewhere' and they nearly halved the price. Wish I knew that the first time!

However, don't overdo it. You're highly unlikely to get anywhere trying to negotiate at big box or grocery stores on typical items and likely just annoy the cashier. My brother used to get driven up the wall by people wasting time doing this - noting they were usually foreign people and that may have been how things worked in their native country.
I think Go has a reasonable approach:

time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
Native MacOS aside, how does it compare to GoLand?
Sadly, in my experience this only works if there's a viable competitor in your area. Last time I asked to be transferred to the retention department, after getting nowhere with the Comcast rep, the only question they had for me was "what date should we process the disconnect for?"
Does "no free lunch" mean that if lunch is normally $10 and today it's $0, it's because someone is paying the price some other way (like it's externalized)?

Or does "no free lunch" mean the drastically broader (and perhaps unfalsifiable) claim everything in the world has ramifications?

Maybe it depends on the context.

But like if someone who enjoys doing programming happens to find and fixe a bug in some software and then everyone can get the bugfix with the next update and the update was going to happen anyway, then the bugfix can be free. It can be 100% improvement, no compromise, no cost, nothing externalized. If you want to argue otherwise, you end up with the same form of argument that is the same logic as the reductio ad absurdem point that we had to have all the costs of the world existing in order for that programmer to be there and do the bugfix.
Negotiating is typically only possible in situations where the salesperson is receiving a commission (Guitar Center) or is in a position to directly benefit at the expense of the business (bartender hoping the discount will translate into an equally sized tip). That said, there are a lot of places that applies to and it never hurts to ask.
If we were to believe your comments, there would be wild packs of dogs all over. Do you have any stats to back this up? I hike all of the time in the US and only wild pack of animals I have encountered is coyotes. Are you confusing coyotes with dogs?
Games that take 6+ years of development are more often higher quality than the ones that take 2-3 years to develop. So yes, I'd be willing to wait half a year or year for updates that are not garbage.
Popular is not the same as quality. That's something that MS seem genuinely unable to understand - examples of a better product are countered with "our product is X times bigger, it is better". Well, no - X times bigger is probably momentum, or network effect, or sneaky placement/contracts - it has nothing to so with the quality of the product.

Similar "well liked" very often really means "the only product I've used" or "the only product I know well" :(
Lesser of two evils, perhaps? Single issue voters?
Interesting that Google Maps and OSM already have this as a road. Apple Maps doesn't as of right now.
Meanwhile, states have pulled back or failed to increase university funding, and the universities fill the gap with greater tuition. Here's the story+graph for the University of California system: https://accountability.universityofcalifornia.edu/2015/chapt... This is the GP's point, and completely spot on.

If this is the primary factor we should expect student debt load for private school graduates to have grown much more slowly than for public school graduates, right?

It may be that the increasing admin staff has taken advantage of this situation more ruthlessly than good communist professor admins would have,

Why are we giving non profit tax benefits to profit maximizers?
any intimate communication would indeed.

I gave specific examples and you keep using an abstract label.

> Using shared memory to communicate with complex data structures is pretty much equivalent to dynamic linking.

These are two separate things unless they are talking about shared memory meaning sharing the same memory space as another process, which is what dynamic linking does.

Communicating through complex data structures can describe files too. If you save a file from one GPLed program and open it in a non GPLed program, that is interprocess communication. If both programs are using mmap on the files instead of writes, does that change things? If files are being sent over local loop back does that change things?

Are there any examples of any of these ideas being tested? I've never heard of anyone except for you asserting that two processes communicating without including GPLed source code was somehow a GPL violation.
Lotsa good wisdom here

> Good UI frameworks are composable, and progressively expose their API users (developers) to their constituent parts, which can include systems such as drawing/rendering, animation, compositing, event handling, text editing, view hierarchy, navigation, accessibility, and so forth.

I’m curious what would be good examples and bad examples for you here?

My first real UI kit was with VisualWorks Smalltalk many years ago. For me, this idea of composability and exposure was really strong here. It wasn’t always the greatest code, but all the source was exposed in the class library, and so you could just use the SelectionInList or you could dig into it, put breakpoints in it, rally take it apart and learn how it all worked at whatever level of abstraction you wanted to wade into.

UIKit/Cocoa didn’t provide that level of exposure because it’s a closed source binary, but there was a time when the documentation was pretty good. And much of that still persists today. And much of it was honed by many years of NextStep development, so there’s a certain consistency to much ( but not all) of it. So it hasn’t been as good, but it’s been decent.

Then there’s been Android. This has been the worst. Early to market. Continuously evolved. Chasing the latest trend in UIs. Historically sparse documentation, and when you do find stuff through searching, good luck figuring out the relevancy. So this has been the worst for me.

I’d be curious which of the toolkits you’ve advanced in have been strong in your rubric, and which less so?
Maybe I'm sounding too negative, but the Turkish lira is in freefall. Maybe with less printed money taken away purchasing power from the holders of the currency (mainly poor people who don't invest their money) to create ,,pride'' projects, people would feel more pride when going into the stores.
They stepped up the game with the original retina MBPs too (first shrink of the “unibody” case), but it couldn’t keep up with the high end mobile Intel thermals. That model was (enviably) quiet compared to my previous gen MBP.
Thanks. We've tried a few approaches that didn't work, but taking this approach seems to be the way into the market: https://www.reddit.com/r/cookingforbeginners/comments/t6nynj...

I would agree Teams itself is a mess. I was just pointing out that Microsoft have successful apps across 3 different operating systems, and neither of them use Microsoft GUI frameworks.

I don't see why I should use a Microsoft GUI any more either. Once you stop using their libraries, you no longer need their OS at all. Pretty strange behaviour from MS if you ask me, encouraging your users to get off their systems.
I was kind of hoping this was some form of parody/sarcasm, but it appears not.
The open source development model does not address this in any meaningful fashion.

You are suggesting that the solution to communication problems is to force everybody to have complete knowledge of everything. That definitely doesn't scale.

Remember the description given of the bazaar is "a great babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches out of which a coherent and stable system could seemingly emerge only by a succession of miracles"

which turns out to be true a lot of the time. Large open source projects don't produce stable systems without some form of additional social order imposed. They become less stable as they grow larger, and either someone notices and attempts to impose various forms of non-bazaar-like order (as happened to the linux kernel, for example), or the project fails/becomes a mess (i will avoid slagging on projects here :P)

Beyond that, the way open source addresses the problems listed in the article is by ignoring them. That is by design.

"Differences between the two styles of development, according to Bar and Fogel, are in general the handling (and creation) of bug reports and feature requests, and the constraints under which the programmers are working.[2] In closed-source software development, the programmers are often spending a lot of time dealing with and creating bug reports, as well as handling feature requests. This time is spent on creating and prioritizing further development plans. This leads to part of the development team spending a lot of time on these issues, and not on the actual development. Also, in closed-source projects, the development teams must often work under management-related constraints (such as deadlines, budgets, etc.) that interfere with technical issues of the software."

IE In closed source systems, time is spent thinking, planning, and prioritizing. Also, fixing bugs and handling feature requests.
The bazaar says "don't do that, doing that takes away from focusing on technical goodness" This is true. The strict bazaar model prioritizes the technical goodness over everything. Unfortunately, technical goodness does not create good products. Thinking, planning, and prioritization do :). See, e.g., cascade of attention deficit teenagers (https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html).

This is also why you rarely, if ever see straight bazaar models behind successful consumer-facing products. Good products require careful coordinated curation and choice. You do see straight bazaar models occasionally in infrastructure, but even there, not for large projects.

If you want to see the bazaar method in practice to products, you don't have to look any further than the huge mess that was (and is) linux desktops - it is only by moving away from strict bazaar models that they have made any progress at all over the past two decades.
The problem is that there are legitimate attack vectors on both sides of the freedom/control spectrum.
Why not? Doesn’t it depend on what your goals are?
Skia is a drawing library.

GUI frameworks/toolkits/libraries require drawing but also require an event handling framework, which Skia does not provide.

Because that is essentially the state of affairs in all human endeavors. Medicine is more prone to it, because they can always claim a new 'variant' or exception to the rule when a treatment/intervention does not work. Medical college also filters for conformists who have a large debt to pay once out of medical school.
