I'd instead say – Reddit is a collection of echo chambers, and the subreddit approach encourages, almost guarantees it.
I ended up biting the bullet and ordering from Amazon. Read the first chapter to my daughter and we both enjoyed it! Glad I saw you mention it here.
Eliminating complexity for the sake of eliminating complexity is not an effective solution, especially when it introduces new problems like inflation on income-elastic priced goods like housing.

UBI is the epitome of a cocktail party idea: https://danluu.com/cocktail-ideas/

You know what? They kinda are. The gables are a bit much, as are the colors, but…no stairs leading up to the entranceway, no basements, seemingly an open floor plan with room for mobility devices like scooter, walk-in/roll-in showers…looks like sensible retirement design.

Just something that caught my eye, as my elderly parents are attempting to get out of their split-level home, a very Midwestern house design that almost seemed architected to kill old people with all those damn stairs. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-level_home)
At the end of the day there are less houses than people, so somebody's going to be priced out of a house. However, the law stipulates that wages must be raised so that everyone can afford a house. Immovable object, meet unstoppable force.
You need to issue building permits and also build public transport infrastructure to guarantee the 1 hour commute. Driving from all around the Valley to Big Tech campuses is already pretty bad with traffic and the highways are not bad, and the urban density is ridiculously low.
I hit a small type issue migrating from v2 to v3 that's not listed in the migration:
https://github.com/porsager/postgres/issues/283
https://cascable.se/ios/

For those looking to use something in between some of the horrible official camera apps and implementing something with this SDK, Cascable is really quite nice. I find it well worth the subscription.

Before the official SDK came out, I tried using this project that was working on reverse engineering the protocol for Fuji cameras:

https://github.com/hkr/fuji-cam-wifi-tool

Alas, I’m working with an X-T2 and it is not supported by the official SDK.
You appear to know some people and organizations who have solved the problem. What I am saying is that, other than GitHub, you apparently don't know the multitude of other organizations that haven't solved the problem yet, and you appear to falsely believe that they do not exist. (And yet you also claim to know people from Percona and Pythian; what do they tell you they do for a living?)

As I said, a lot of the problems organizations have are not publicly disclosed, and the people who know aren't authorized to talk about it. So I'm sorry, you're not going to get the examples you seek here. Companies like to keep their weaknesses close to their chest.

> i am NOT saying that github can hand wave this away with money and hiring. you misunderstand. what i am saying is company of their business size and scale should have already handled this long ago,

If not through money and hiring, how should they have accomplished it? You propose a goal but no actionable plan. That's worth diddly squat, both in engineering and in business.
Firstly:

> So you’re not making a like for like comparison.

I'm not making the comparison at all, I'm pointing out the errors of making an out-of-hand dismissal of lockdown deaths and the faulty logic of the dismissal.

> It’s a pointless argument because the only way to prove that lockdown resulted in more deaths is to spin up a parallel universe and see how many more people would have died if we didn’t go into lockdown.

Two things here. The first is that it's not pointless to consider how deaths could be reduced even if we were reduced to wild guesses. Most of human history has only had access to trial and error, and the hope of some insight springing up, and our ancestors did a fine job. We've got it easy.

However, we don't need a parallel universe, different countries did different things, and - as the Macmillan report shows - it's possible to see that there's a link between the effects of lockdown (e.g. missed cancer diagnoses) and higher levels of mortality resulting from that, even if the precision is unknowable (which is won't be, it just won't be perfect).

People aren't stupid, and the main point is don't compare deaths from lockdown with deaths from COVID-19, the questions are:

- were lockdowns more effective than not?

- which kinds of lockdowns were beneficial?

- what lessons can we learn?

It'll take a while (because of politics and cognitive dissonance / pride) but I'm confident we'll see that lockdowns were largely ineffective at best and detrimental at worst.

Finally:

> Hospitals were already cancelling appointments even before lockdown happened because of staffing issues. This would only have been a bigger problem if we hadn’t gone into lockdown

You can't on the one hand use a there is no parallel universe argument for your own rebuttal and then hope to avoid it by claiming bigger problems without a lockdown. Be fair.
The a lot of the flat part of the city is pretty much a false flat though. The road system if you avoid arterials (which I do, who likes getting forced off Western Ave into a fruit cart by a truck loaded 10 feet wide with scrap metal?), is a labrynth of weird ends and incomplete connections. For example there is no great north south road that I've found at least. I take van ness but it ends in a three way intersection at third, so I do some other weird maneuvers to find another road like serrano to take a little further, then that peters out in a similar fashion so I have to find another decent non arterial that doesn't dead end or do anything else weird, then I have to consider how I am crossing the 10, etc.

Biking in LA is great if you live in like Playa del Rey, Santa Monica, Burbank, Pasadena, or even Altadena, but in a lot of places it needs a ton of work to be seen as anything but a deathtrap in a lot of people's eyes. To say nothing of the rampant bike theft. I've lost one so far, knocking on wood.
This article explicitly contrasts Margaritaville with The Villages, at least, so it is presenting as not just "one of these".

Also, the middle class doesn't need those things, for goodness's sake.
Yeah except those people don't intrinsically enjoy being attacked by bears despite that it will kill them, and the attacking bears aren't featured as a prominent aspect of the social fabric visible in everyday life, on nearly every corner, tv ad, social event, and otherwise.
EU targets Big Tech with sweeping new antitrust legislation
Being gay used to be considered a medical condition, but now everyone agrees that was a huge mistake. We should tread carefully here.

Maybe there are genuine disorders affecting some aspects of the less commonly found gender / identity phenomena. I'm not an expert. I don't know. I'm guessing you aren't either.

I'd prefer to error on the side of respecting the way someone feels if they aren't hurting anyone or imposing a large burden.
Sharing code between the web app and desktop "app"

So, we need an Object Pascal to JavaScript compiler?
I too hate the material design kind of flatness. For me, only apple somehow gets UI right (at least for me) and it feels very intuitive for me while also looking very good.

The new "flat" design that pops up everywhere sometimes just feels like a lazy version of UI design, where you basically don't need proper styles anymore and just make everything b/w with maybe a border here and there.
The rules are more clearly depicted on page 4, with different variations depicted on the pages following that.

Looks fairly straightforward to implement. Until this is more widely available "officially", I'll probably just hack up some Chrome extension for personal use and try it out.
A lot of comments in this thread are negative. As a developer using GTK4 and libadwaita, and as a user that uses gnome, I really like the changes. GTK4 brings some much needed changes, and the major bugs like listview scrolling being broken or bad text rendering on non-hidpi displays suck, but both have people working on fixing them. Libadwaita is a huge improvement, and makes it way easier to build good apps.

As for themes, I quite like the new libadwaita theme, and prefer it to the default GTK theme. You're free to disagree, but you can't say your opinion is correct, nor can I.

Keep in mind that libadwaita is an optional library _specifically for gnome apps_. If you don't like gnome, don't use libadwaita. If you want the widgets from libadwaita, but don't like the styling, then either copy the code (it's open source, fork it!), or use libadwaita and disable the libadwaita stylesheet (and add styling for the widgets that aren't part of GTK).
My autoimmune disease is likely caused by modern technical advances and is almost nonexistent in countries that haven't modernized. There's very limited research done on on fixing it and lots done on treating the symptoms. Each commercial I see advertising a new medication to treat the symptoms is like a slap in the face.

It's played a large part in being vaccine hesitant. My life has been severely impacted by "trusting the science". It's very likely the science that ended up negatively impacting me is not harmful for 99% of the population. We're trying to reverse engineer systems by clicking buttons on the UI instead of reading the code.
I don't think being able to afford this is "average", and I wish my mom could.
> On the other hand, having my library randomly switch on me with songs disappearing, album covers swapping out or renamed is driving me NUTS.

Where are you seeing this happen? The only thing I ever notice is album covers swapping out. In the 6 years I've been a spotify customer, I can only ever recall 2-3 songs becoming unavailable.
Yeah, but that's not what we were talking about. This comment chain was specifically about "extracting maximal value from labor".
That's a common bug. I fixed it and it has stayed fixed. I am pretty sure I followed the recipe here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252329979
The next question is, what does it mean that no state-level actors publicly identified Satoshi either?
Even assuming that’s true, it’s totally counterproductive for desktop use.
There’s a wide difference between learning the semantics of an API and learning the semantics of a custom language with a compiler. There are alternate implementations of the React API, like Preact. The semantics of the React API might be complex, but you could implement them in essentially any programming language with function pointers and variable length arrays. You can’t say the same thing for Svelte; which we know is impossible to implement in pure JavaScript, which is why it needs a compiler. This is all anyone in this thread is arguing - it’s an argument about semantics but for some kinds of environments semantics are very important.

I’ve helped teams pilot out of own-the-world frameworks like Backbone and Rails before (both of which substantially distort the runtime they’re embedded in); but it was much harder to deal with Backbone + Coffeescript together. For Backbone w/ vanilla JS or Rails, we could use standard static analysis tools, Coffeescript added a big extra wrinkle to our migration.
The sounds like a hilarious parody of modern telemetry. But then, the fact the Netflix used to work by mailing you DVDs also sounds silly to modern ears. I don't entirely trust my intuition on what the 90s were capable of.
This I totally agree with. I've not much experience with the UK system, but I disagree that publication bias is solved, at least regarding the scientific literature at large.
Ah yes, around the time of things like the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, the Radium Girls, the battle for no child labor, legally segregated (by sex, religion, and race) jobs and education, and the Battle of Blair Mountain.

Very civilized era.
Are they not producing the same amount of work as anyone else?
My hunch is that it's for roughly the same reasons so many people bought disposable cameras in the 80s/90s/00s.

1. Low initial investment: Disposable cameras were cheap to buy and so are most SaaS subscriptions, at least in the beginning.

2. Nearly-frictionless termination: Disposable cameras go away when you're done with them and most SaaS can be canceled— and navigated away from quickly.

3. Ease of use: Disposable cameras were simple point-and-shoot devices and most web apps are constrained by the expressibility of WWW UI/UX, so they often cannot easily be made as complex as their desktop counterparts.

4. No maintenance: Disposable cameras were made to be thrown away (at least from the user POV), so users didn't have to worry about protecting and maintaining an e.g. fancy 35mm camera. Similarly, SaaS shifts the burden of maintenance to the company providing the service and is ongoing.

For desktop software…

For #1. You have to install it and, possibly, pay an up-front cost to do so. Furthermore, you have to trust that the software is not malicious.

For #2. You have to uninstall it if you no longer wish to use it and you have to trust that it will clean up its tracks and not leave e.g. broken file associations.

For #3. You have to navigate an UI built under far fewer constraints than UIs designed for the WWW, so you may have to invest time learning its ins and outs.

For #4. You (may) have to keep it up-to-date, usually if you upgrade your OS, but especially if there's a security vulnerability present in the version you're running.
So how does taking low-wage jobs away affect or inprove "finding some other service to offer", or conversely, how is the presence of low-wage jobs preventing people from finding these services?
The covid checks weren't UBI, only people under a specific income range were eligible. Also keeping businesses afloat solved stagnation (worst) at the cost of inflation (bad, but not the worst).

I'm critical of UBI but using a global pandemic with millions of deaths as an example isn't what UBI is.
Yes, and therefore governments and economics need to account for this to keep society running.

That's what governing IS.
> Please, it's not a ban. The relevant law only applies to state-funded schools and makes sure that students who don't speak Ukrainian gradually learn it over the years and start using it in school:

Really? Reading your source it seems that it explicitly states "Ukrainian as the only means of instruction in schools after the primary division." Saying that this only applies to "state-funded schools" may be true, but you're papering over the fact that your own source indicates that fewer than 1% of students attend non-public schools.

From your own source:

> The Law determines three patterns for Ukrainian-language instruction in secondary schools of Ukraine. The first concerns indigenous peoples such as the Crimean Tatars, who have the right to be educated in their own language, with Ukrainian taught as a separate subject, at any school stage. The second pattern addresses Ukraine’s national minorities whose languages are official languages of the EU. The primary school division is available for them in their minority language (with Ukrainian as a separate subject), while higher divisions see a graduated expansion of Ukrainian-language instruction—from twenty percent in fifth year to forty percent in ninth year of middle (junior high) school and to sixty percent of all subjects during the three years of high school. The third pattern applies to “other minorities,” i.e., Russians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians who attend Russian-language secondary schools. For them, Ukrainian-language instruction should be at a minimum of eighty percent in both middle and high schools, with the opportunity to have Russian taught as a subject or elective. The Law also clearly states that these provisions apply to state-funded schools only and entitles all private schools to a free choice of their language of instruction; nevertheless, private schools must teach the Ukrainian language and ensure that their students acquire the fluency standard defined by the state.

Seems from reading this that Russian is specifically targeted and proscribed from being taught in schools. Keep in mind there are entire regions of Ukraine where Russian is the predominant language. And we wonder why people in Crimea wanted to leave after Euromaidan...

> Under these conditions, passing such a law was practically a question of self-preservation.

By eliminating Russian speaking people in Ukraine? Not a great justification.
It’s 99% due to nostalgia but look at chocolate doom. It’s a tightly coded 2.5D game. There’s TONS of documentation on how it works. Recreating the engine in a familiar language and playing the WADs of you childhood is fun. But if you want 3d with OpenGL maybe look at quake. That’s how I learned GL.
This is so true. I have met developers who couldn’t even visualize any application without a server.

At one point, I was building a simple command line based CRM. It was running off a local json file. I just had basic crud functions and was loading whole file in-memory during execution.

When I explained that so many of my developer friends keep trying to fit in server. The concept of no webapi, no database, no docker was do foreign to them. Or they just thought I was lazy for not using all that.

Could you please provide a source for further reading?
I think the phenomenon you're talking about at the end of your comment is something that happens in spite of the beneficial effect of increased wages, rather than something that would count as evidence that people don't benefit from increased wages. Otherwise it would stand to reason that cutting wages would turn the equation inside out, so that buying power goes up with lower wages and economic gains go increasingly to the bottom of the more you lower wages. I don't think that it swings one way or the other, which is to say I don't think that they're so determinative of each other. Those two things just seem too remote from each other to be regarded as in immediate causal connection.

There are other contributing variables exerting their influence at the same time: investing, and lending, and spending, and taxing and policy choices are significant inputs that all happen in parallel with wage increases in particular policy and economic climates that have different outcomes from country to country.

It also seems to fly in the face of reason to suppose that efficient markets don't see market-wide increases in prices. Firms don't just compete against each other but against the existential question of solvency, and if we're really talking about competitive markets, then these pressures are experienced collectively.

So neither the evidence of the stock markets nor the theory about competitive markets never increasing their prices seem to do the work that they would need to do, to suggest that people seeing wage increases are not benefiting from them.
>Does it even need to be studied that heavily? What is India and China trying to do?

And how did they achieve it? By paying workers luxurious wages? The whole reason they're successful was that they industrialized and offered labor cheaper than the west, and the west outsourced labor to them. "Henry Ford, capitalist extraordinaire, famously paid his workers $5 a day, double the average automaker's wage at the time" has nothing to do with that's happening there.
It's very cool field, in my opinion. Some good journals for your topic would be Journal of Affective Neuroscience, and Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.

For books, I really enjoyed LeDoux's The Emotional Brain and Damasio's Looking for Spinoza.

But the general neuropsych journals like Neuropsychology, Neuropsychology Review, Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, The Clinical Neuropsychologist, and Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology touch on those topics as well, but not as consistently.

According to the wiki article on multi-armed bandits, apparently the Allies contemplated this in WW2.

There is a reason why Apple backpedaled on all that flat insanity for MacOS and iOS. Graphic designers and trendsetters usually know very little about usability, these are 2 completely different disciplines, and the Flat style was imposed by graphic designers, not UX people.
It'd be nice if they expressed the cost impacts along side that user count.

CLOCKSS: A dark archive for scholarly articles
From what I can see it has an extremely bloated DOM. It's also the case that it will keep entire subreddits in memory as you browse around, that's why you can go back to a sub you've looked at an hour ago and see the same content so long as you don't refresh. Dunno what impact that has on performance, but it's something to note.
I’m guessing that this is not only not true, but actually blame-setting propaganda. It’s way to tight and clean of a narrative packaging both the assessment failures and the counterintelligence failures into a nice little package of high-level betrayal that neatly avoids any of the catastrophe reflecting a systemic problem beyond a single purgeable conspiracy with a well-defined top being disloyal to leadership.
