It is so refreshing to see this take.
I was on a path to be a history Ph.D candidate - I wanted to teach, and archive diving is basically my own personal drug. The problem is it’s “publish or perish,” as we all know. My higher priority, i.e. teaching, was essentially an obstacle. You know how I know that? My own advisor and other department members told me not to get my doctorate (after writing a 60 page thesis mind you, which I’m still a tad bitter about given how this turns out haha).

They said no program wants to hear how I want to teach and that absolutely no one will hire me, then I won’t get published, and I’ll end up (if I’m lucky!) teaching at an expensive boarding school in a place I don’t get to choose.

I’m not saying I would’ve gotten into even a decent program. Hell I may have been a mediocre at best teacher. But it never felt right to me that teaching at colleges isn’t a viable career path. It was so odd to learn that my dream was simply not allowed, especially when it seemed so reasonable.
Agreed on the personal contexts - and also where I expected the article to go. I think a better argument for professional contexts is that everyone is expected to maintain a certain level of professionalism and politeness - including CEOs. Or in other words I don't think the obligation comes from the company hierarchy, but from being in a professional context at all (for example working with someone at a different company).

A solid article on the personal context no's for anyone reading by is by Captain Awkward: https://captainawkward.com/2011/03/23/the-art-of-no/
I'm not sure why but I have a visceral, negative response to this. It might be the best solution, but it definitely /feels/ like the worst of all the worlds.
> But seriously from scratch in this case is a canvas plus possibly some primitives for marking the canvas. Cairo provides these things.

You need an event system also. Cairo does not provide this.

We wrote out own custom 2D canvas with Cairo for Ardour, but the event handling has to originate somewhere else (in our case, GDK).
I’m curious to see if Microsoft will lose market share to Linux and MacOS over it’s user hostile practices
Most things accumulate and need pruning. Some people would like to do manual pruning but I favour a time-based approach of keeping everything in monthly folders.

Monthly folders so basically with every new month, some things are not carried-over but are still there and can be referenced if necessary.

So basically, a new month helps with reducing the accumulation of old stuff which bogs down a system.
There already is an ideal version of Windows 10, without windows store, metro, cortana, xbox live, ads etc. etc. It also will get support and security updates but zero feature updates or changes for 10 years. It's called Windows 10 LTSB.
They dont sell this useful version of windows to normal people though, only to corps via a volume license.
This is one of those situations that behooves one to pirate it, and there are plenty of copies of this + crack on torrent sites.

> Effective July 1, 2022, paid medical collection debt will no longer be included on consumer credit reports.

In addition, the time period before unpaid medical collection debt would appear on a consumer’s report will be increased from 6 months to one year, giving consumers more time to work with insurance and/or healthcare providers to address their debt before it is reported on their credit file.

In the first half of 2023, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion will also no longer include medical collection debt under at least $500 on credit reports.
Eww, take your regular expression elsewhere.
Nobody is making any assumptions or predeterminations about cultures, the point is that we need to recognize that it's not the color of your skin or your heritage that determines your placement, it's the environment you grow up in. Coincidentally, this does match up with your 'parental wealth' claim, since any pair of upper-middle-class parents is more likely able to afford to live in an area with schools rated at least 6 by GreatSchools, thus giving their child(ren) a better opportunity at education.

> We are discriminating openly against poor kids. And you only have to see the condition of schools in poor communities to make that immediately clear.

The way I see it, the only thing directly hindering any integration of lower-class and higher-class kids in schools is what I said above - housing prices and general zoning laws that make it nearly impossible to build low-cost housing in existing high-class areas. Any time there is a housing project (read: reasonably priced apartments), "NIMBY" happens and nobody wants the new complex to be built since it'll directly lower the home values of the existing houses in the area; in general, the administration running the local city/county government has to follow their constituents' wishes, so this likely isn't going to change until some higher government passes a law softening the power of zoning laws. This combined with how schools are heavily funded by their county's property taxes creates a barrier where the poorer schools don't get the funding they need to level the playing field and poorer parents can't move to put their kid in better education, thus keeping it hard for the child and their future generations to climb out of poverty.

This is a great write up of just some of the challenges that open source project creators face.

I see a lot of people on this thread of calling for modifications to githubs systems. I really don't see them doing that.

maybe I misunderstand GitHub but as much as I like, enjoy and benefit from GitHub I just think their mission is to cater to the long tail as much as possible. and well maybe somewhat controversial I don't actually think their main play is enabling seamless collaboration I think that's just sort of a necessity for what they're really trying to do. I'm not sure what they're really trying to do but one can imagine there must be some sort of profitable businesses where you have all the world's developers on your system.

I think basically GitHub still wants to create a very sort of simple consumer focus product to maximize the quantity of interactions. they're not necessarily trying to lock down and restrict all those things you know and and and provide tools to upregulate the quality of that.

I'm sure that is a misrepresentation of only a small slice of github's strategy, but anyway I think it's an interesting thing to consider. I just basically don't see them landing a whole lot of features that provide really granular controls to all this stuff because I think they'd be worried that this is going to get in the way of the sort of simple understanding of the uniformity of their product and it's going to cause too much you know confusion and raise the barriers to long tail large quantity collaboration.

I could be totally misreading them but that's my feeling about it.

Sure - but again, why would that advantage apply disproportionately to males?
I think the problem is a bit more nuanced, but i don't have a perfect answer.

This is fine but relying on an IDE for code reviews really sucks. I'd much prefer to be able to do it on github. And it sucks for any language which infers types :( Scala is in particular awful for reviewing on github

> We had to repeatedly insist on doubling the material cost to get the next step up for sound and noise insulation.

The builders might have been saving you from yourself there, actually. I know at least one "acoustic" insulation product on the market (worked on by my old man before the mass layoffs at CSR/Bradford) isn't actually better at noise reduction than other products (funnily enough, it was measurably worse than some of the other, more expensive batts); just they've specced it as such and advertised it on the packaging.

but by and large the University I work at gets the job done. Day in and day out for 10s of thousands of students.

The students get their piece of paper that employers use as a free-to-them proxy for intelligence and diligence. I won’t cry at all when this exploitative business model is disrupted and lots of administrators have to find honest work.
The problem is, to really nail the look and feel, you're going to have to create your own controls with the same exact behaviors, looks, etc. and none of that is documented.
Correct, that was a factor contributing to my choice to submit! Not complaining nor asking you to, just humorously curious, Why u no upvote tho? :( The grand old bridge! Could certainly have benefited from a bit more ups on its 90th :'(
I very briefly trialled it out of curiosity, as I was just finishing the job where I was using Go daily. It wasn't as full-featured as GoLand, but the UI and performance was a fair bit nicer. The only major drawback though, for me, was the language server/ auto-completes and all that. JetBrains does a phenomenal job in Go especially, where even the official language server is pretty meh.

There have been a few releases since then, and if I were using Go again I would try it out for sure. There's a free trial, so nothing to lose!
On one hand, the exclusive job opportunities are providing value to students which can allow students to increase their value. On the other hand, the employers are benefiting from the fact that the universities themselves are selectively gathering people with high market value. Exactly how much of whether it's the former or the latter is an open question. Whether or not a university is an expensive platform to pass a corporation's gatekeeping is questionable.
Tried this buying a used car a few weeks ago, but didn’t work. Still spent money on some stupid crap (pre installed lojack, door edge protectors) to get the car I wanted.
It seems all of these terrible things that pervert the experience are all driven by tenure. Everybody wants tenure, so they're willing to kill themselves with overwork and ignore their students trying to get it.
Maybe that's not so bad? Having a firm internal sense of something's value that prevents you from overspending on it even when it's on discount?

Feels like a lesson every gamer with a Steam Sale backlog could stand to learn.
I spent one year as an undergrad reading maths at Oxford and the curriculum, teaching and students were all far superior to the same at Duke University (1988)
There's nothing paradoxical going on here. When people are oppressed via categorization, it's only natural to embrace that categorization to reduce the stigma and turn it into a source of social and/or political power.

It seems to me that the left, idealistically speaking, is intent on removing forced categorization by others. You would be hard pressed find anyone who is trying to remove all individual distinctions, and if you did, that person would be an outlier.

On the contrary, the left, again idealistically, seems to embrace differences, just not those that are imposed and used as a rationale for discrimination.

In my experience, those who go on about "freedom" are usually the most intolerant of individual differences. How about that for irony?

I was NOT doing a literal interp. That would mean getting hung up on what counts as "lunch" and not recognizing that it's a metaphor. That's not what I was doing. Everything I've posted is about critiquing what I see as the implications and ramifications and arguments of the metaphor, recognizing it as the aphorism that it is.
In my experience of having touched components and had static discharge, modern components (at least on PCs) are designed to handle it. I worked for a systems builder and none of the assemblers used grounding straps and had no issues. It seems like they have something in the traces to protect the critical components from static, probably to reduce RMAs from custom builders. That's not to say it can't happen though.
I did too -- a mix of VT101's, IBM 3270's, VT-220's. Most of the VT-220's were green, but we had a few amber ones, which I preferred over green (it felt like such leading edge tech for some reason). We had a few demo units with a white phosphor, and they were amazing - you could use an escape sequence to turn on reverse video and tell yourself it was just like reading a piece of paper (it was not).

I have a bit of nostalgia for those screens but wouldn't want to use one for more than a few minutes. But would love to have an old DEC VT-220 keyboard!
> I wonder if one could build a couple of aircraft carrier for commercial airliners and post them out in the Pacific somewhere to get shorter ETOPS-compliant flight paths.

The various Pacific Islands like Hawaii, Guam, Midway, the Aleutians are effectively those "carriers" for ETOPS.
J&J is a viral vector vaccine and it's also a very new tech. Only 6 are approved. 4 for covid, 2 for ebola. It's just a crappy vaccine, that's why it's not being pushed hard.

The inactivated vaccine, which is the actual well established old tech, seems to have worked just as well, or just as poorly, depending on how you percieve the vaccine efficacy.

India used mostly the inactivated vaccine, where nearly a billion people have been vaccinated with it. Apparently, that's just not good enough for several western countries that demand you MUST get an mRNA shot, despite being fully vaccinated by inactivated vaccines that were accepted as effective by the WHO. Clearly purely scientific decisions. /s

It gets even better. Licensed Astrazeneca vaccine that was made in India is not accepted by the EU, only the UK version that's sold under a different label. duh, this is obviously The Science. /s

Most of pharma in the world is manufactured in India, btw. Usually good enough, but for some reason not in a critical emergency such as a pandemic.

Why is that?
Those shops are for other people than you or I. Those who don't care about spending money, or so busy buying everything they see.

It's almost as if governments are trying to preemptively trash gold so people don't look to it as an alternative to fiat currency.

That's why the story makes zero sense. It's not about russian gold. It's about gold in general. It's also pure propoganda.
Big fan of this.
Historical trends, geographical trends, plain old intuition and gut, or any number of angles that you think make sense, but all that goes out of the window if you are in a bad market. The price is what the market is willing to bear, as they say.
I always heard that the reason we don’t just make chips bigger is that it increases the distance the electricity has to travel which translates to more latency. But somehow rhe M1 Ultra is able to get away with being huge with out this being a problem.

While it's true that you can write very terse modern c++ my guess is that a lot of c++ code in the firefox codebase is quite old and it would surprise me if it's not closer to plain C in verbosity. Which definitely isn't as compact as Rust.

I often feel bad asking for a discount. I know that my 10% discount is often halving their profit for the item.

I prefer shops where they have already offered stock at their best price and refuse to price it lower. One less thing to worry about.
Is it? In most languages you do something like `time.Sleep(1 * 1e6)` instead at which point it could be a second, a few minutes, a day, who really knows?

I'm just not seeing any major downsides of this, keep in mind `time.Second` isn't the only one of its kind, you have millisecond, minute, hour, etc etc.

There is no such option built into these air-to-water heat pumps, mostly because they don't have to put it in the unit like an air handler would. Instead, the answer is to put whatever supplemental resistance elements you need in an external boiler or in a buffer tank with immersion elements, either of which is easily added (because it's just water piping and pumps).

Meh. It is a $4K machine, not $16K. And a million views on a YouTube video (which this one is approaching and sure to exceed) can get you up to $40K in ad revenue. Somehow I doubt think the possibility of screwing up when putting it back together is too scary to him.
It doesn't seem to happen on stuff like Craigslist either anymore. I've been surprised that people just pay what it's listed for.

In swift I quite like DispatchTimeInterval's approach [1] (see Enumeration Cases). In most of my projects I end up adding a simple extension to TimeInterval to get the same behavior. Which makes reasoning about time very simple eg:

Date().advanced(by: .hours(2) + .seconds(10))

I'm honestly not sure why TimeInterval doesn't include this representation by default.

Loyalty is another one. I'm very regular at the cheese counter at my local farmer's market, spending ~$20 most weeks— it's ended up where I'm on a first name basis with the guy who is usually there. He never weighs any of my stuff, just lops off big chunks and is like "sure that's about the right amount lol." Based on the grocery store prices for these cheeses, I'm pretty sure he's giving me a 30-50% discount.

But part of it is probably also that I'm very easy going; I'm happy to take whatever it is he's trying to move, and happy to grab chunky ends or other pieces that would be annoying to cut, etc.
time.Second*1 gets the same value; it's not overloaded. Well, ok, so what actually happens is that time.Second is a time.Duration, and Duration*int yields Duration (and int*Duration yields Duration).

But the value of time.Second is actually a Duration with value 1000000, IIRC -- it's microseconds. It's just the type that's special, and the int handling here is general over a lot of types.

It really is nice in practice.
Sun was never serious about it — they offered a lower price than Apple’s stock was worth at the time (itself not much). It was an insult and the stockholders would have sued them out of existence if the board had taken it.
It's not overloaded. It's a unit. You can just type

time.Sleep(time.Second)

but this reads nicely

time.Sleep(3 * time.Minute)
It's been my issue with some of the non-azure MSFT products generally speaking. You can play games and have fun backgrounds in Teams, but the app eats up all your memory and chatting sucks. Windows is the same as the article is pointing out. It somehow became harder to save documents in office. Feels like all the feature sets in the products are pushed with the wrong agenda. "better is the enemy of good"
Yes, especially having to go onto Discord to get old fixes, files, dll files or packs.

I was lucky this past week to jump onto a few active discords and met the actual author of forum posts and who releases stuff on Github and they sent me the old links of the chat saying it was posted before and that it fixed stuff not in the github for this unique case.

Back in the day it would've been a sticky on a forum, you read the comments adn then contribute that it. But in this example should've also been pushed in the github repo too, but the thing is with discord as the main medium now, you have to actively participate vs passively reading and getting up to speed.

Different plasticity needed.
Nice. This runs really smoothly. Feel like loading up some retro games :)

On the contrary, Europe imported the world's knowledge, weaponized it, then used it to enslave the knowledge sources.

Most European infrastracture development and knowledge transfer outside of Europe was done due to necessity not voluntary altruism. The labor being exploited needed certain knowledge to be more useful and the desired resources needed certain infrastructure to be easily and efficiently exfiltrated.
