Being exposed to really bright people at a early age is a double edged sword, you have the potential to learn a lot from them but if your competitive drive kicks in and overrides your curiosity and independence, you will turn into a lesser version of yourself.
For the same reason we call it "accessible entrance" and not "government-mandated alternative door with ramp." Making the phrase more general is just good design.

Your comparison suggests a quantitative difference, because seatbelts are effective through only one mechanism; whereas I've highlighted two qualitatively different mechanisms through which masks reduce probability of becoming infected, exploiting completely different properties of the mask. It's not even clear if filtering has more or less of an impact than change in temperature and humidity.

I don't know of it's a joke tweet, or a pompous person trying to make other devs feel inferior.

The example or use case they describe doesn't even make sense to me. Nor does it even seem to line up with how CSS specificity or cascade works.

I use "andel", but if you don't write your variable names in Danish, then it might look a little strange. "Share" would be the direct translation, but that word usually means something else in programming. In English, I use "ratio" also; in context the meaning is always clear enough.
Should have called it "mandatory" then.
While I agree with your statement overall, most of the time, using !important just kicks the problematic spaghetti-code can down the road. The CSS eventually becomes un-workable/maintainable.

At one place I worked (a subsidiary of NTT), the effort to clean up the CSS and remove all the !important overrides was so time consuming management wanted to make sure it never happened again, so using !important at all would affect our performance reviews. We were expected to fix any bad CSS right away without overriding the default cascading rules.
“people keep repeating this line despite it flying in the face of the obvious counterevidence, because they want it to be true”

Yes. Been there t-shirt. Remember MOOCs?
I was exceedingly clear and neutral.

Your own emotion read into words that were not there.

I simply stated a fact and offered no judgement on the merits of the action.
What I was trying to point to, with a fumbling attempt was pointing to your idea of "scanning your mind for scientific data that might be wrong" and coming up empty, was that just the idea that scientific empiricism is the only or most reliable way of establishing what is "true" is actually a presupposition that is a result of the Enlightenment, and is not the basis for traditional societies when they are determining "how we know what we know" and "what is the hierarchy of meaning"?

I was just trying to point out to you that you might be open-minded regarding what evidence you are willing to consider, but just he point that you consider evidence as a way of establishing truth is a presupposition that can, and should be examined.
> You're dodging the question. If Summers weren't around, how do you think events would have played out instead?

Dunno. Will some other neoliberal fuckhead be in charge or not?
In a nutshell, yes.

I observed a number of people say one thing in a group setting but would confess to other things off the record. The purse string issue was high for a lot of people, but as you say that wasn't the only motivation.

I think too that we oversold the Enlightened Self Interest value to the company in open sourcing internal tools. People worked hard on code that they didn't want to have to write again somewhere else, especially not several times. My current and future job satisfaction are elevated by convincing my bosses to free the code, the Greater Good is also improved by doing so. Nothing makes me want to leave like feeling trapped, and any work I do that has value past my expiration date is a big part of feeling like being here still is a choice.

But I think only a few companies ever enjoyed the fruits of that effort to the degree that we were all telling them they would. Sun Microsystems in particular. But the industry benefited enormously, so history will probably be fairly kind.
Do you see where I made any argument?
I've read that English is one of the most idiomatic languages. I believe it.
I worked at a company that made video titlers in the 80s. They tried all kinds of interesting memory technology including bubble memory and CCD memory. I remember they deployed CCD shift register memory to customers, but it was pretty error prone- your text would get corrupted over time.

They made a 68000-based high resolution titler with fast SRAM for the display refresh memory. This would have been crazy expensive except that the image was stored in compressed format, and decompressed on the fly during display, so they only needed something like 64KB. It looked great, but composing the image (from annotated text) was very slow. I think Chyron just used lots of DRAM in their similar products (pretty sure they used 8086).
This kind of discourse sort of exculpates the outraged. People have agency, however imperfect. We've gotten in a rut of blaming platforms for people's behavior -- both assholes that post in social media and brittle-porcelaine people who can't stand this torture.

Something needs to be done policy-wise about Twitter and Facebook, but we should also be telling each other to chill the frak out -- and to consider the truths (and every ideology has some truth to it, that's how it acquires verosimilitude and grows) behind the asshole's worldview. Maybe those damn transphobes are looking at some things that we've become blind to.

I'm not necessarily assuming that. I think there seems to be an assumption here that the choice is research or internship, but not both. That is not the case. Students do research with me during a typical semester, and when they are done the school year, they often go and get industry internships over the summer at top companies around the world. We train them to pass the Google-style whiteboard coding interviews; our students are very prepared for those. I don't know of any students who do internships during the school year. Most of my students who do research with me do not go on to do graduate studies.

What does your benchmarking workflow look like? I am interested in

* From a high level what does your dev iteration look like?
* Getting instruction traces, timing and resimulating those traces
* Power analysis, timing analysis (do you do this as part of performance simulation) ?
* Do you benchmark the whole chip or specific sub units?
* How do you choose what to focus on in terms of performance enhancements?
* What areas are you focusing on now?
* What tools would make this easier?

Would you say the same is true about speaking out regarding Critical Theory or social justice?
It's different from the implementer's perspective because the implementer can go back to the CEO (maybe indirectly) saying "I can make that work 80% of the time, but it just can't be done for the 20% of users who have expressed a preference to the contrary". In your example the CEO gets the option to say "OK, make it work most of the time". In a compliance situation, the CEO is legally obligated to can the whole project, find someone willing to put the text in a JPEG with the attendant accessibility issues, or some other draconian maneuver.
> Do you have tips and tricks you use to read codebases?

#1: If the codebase is huge, you can't read all of it. So you'd best know how to navigate it.

#2: You need an IDE or cscope-like too to navigate a codebase. The codebase is like a web of, say, wikipedia articles, and you're going to have to browse it a lot like how you'd browse wikipedia. Symbols are links!

#3: It helps to understand the big picture. What does this codebase implement? Where are the "entry points" -- where to start reading? What's the architecture? (E.g., Java is a byte-compiled language with a bytecode interpreter known as a JVM.) What's the design look like?

#4: If it's just for fun, well, just browse till you find something interesting, then read it carefully, and go spelunking like it's a wikipedia article.

#5: If you're reading it to debug something, you need to first find the relevant entry points.

#6: If you're reading it to add features, you really need to read the developer docs (if they exist), the internals docs (if they exist), and figure out a lot of things like APIs exported, internal utilities libraries, portability layers, external dependencies, protocols, etc. This will take time, and that's ok. Start with small features, and work your way. You'll build a deeper understanding as you go.

#7: You don't have to understand all that much about the codebase in question, and it might not be possible to if we're talking about a codebase that's in the hundreds of millions of lines of code. You'll have to specialize as you dive deep, and generalize as you wade "near the top".

#8: It can take time to pick up these skills to the point where you can do this quickly. And even then, it can take time to understand a large codebase well enough. There's just a ton of detail that you have to digest into a mental picture that's sufficiently high-level that you can use it productively. So be patient, and keep on going. Just because it's a lot to learn, you shouldn't be discouraged.

To really deal with huge codebases, you have to be a bit like a generalist who can specialize as needed.

For example, if you're reading the OpenJDK, you'll want to understand what Java is, what the JVM is, and so on, though you won't have to understand all of that if you just want to read the OpenJDK implementation of, say, TLS, but you will have to be able to navigate outside that particular bit of the OpenJDK sometimes, but if you tease out code threads far enough, you probably will learn a thing or three about seemingly unrelated things like the GC.

Get comfortable doing these things, and you'll be able to deal with codebases in the millions of lines of code.
Not quite the same lack of control. You can reach over and grab the wheel.
"The CSS eventually becomes un-workable/maintainable..."

True that, but sometimes one has already reached that point, and yet must make this change anyway somehow. But I don't recall using "important" in years, so I guess it's not that often.
Turning from one fossil fuel to another when buying the first one directly finances an aggressive dictatorship that started 3 wars in 14 years isn't madness. It's reasonable. Including from environmental POV. Turns out wars release a whole lot of CO2. And their consequences - even more.

Of course killing thousands of people in said wars offsets some of that CO2, but I still won't count that as a positive.

What actually is madness - is turning from carbon-neutral nuclear power to natural gas AND buying it from Russia which then uses these money to buy tanks and weapons and kill thousands of people, and demolishing cities. THAT is madness. And UN had no problems with that AFAIR.

Priorities right now if you care about ecology:

1. stop Russia because wars kill people

2. stop Russia because wars destroy environment

3. stop Russia because wars release A LOT of CO2

4. stop Russia because wars cause damage which must be
rebuild releasing A LOT of CO2

5. stop Russia because it's a dictatorships that supports global warming-denying populists all over the world and sells fossil fuels as its only big export

“Most people only applaud the pilot who dropped the bomb, or the pilot who rescued someone. The maintainers — all of the people that enabled that airplane to get into the air to do what it did — those people never get credit.”
Fascism does have a body of works. The inventors, Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini, were quite proud of themselves and their creation. They wrote and spoke a great deal about it.

The idea that there is no explanation for Fascism and that it's some inexplicable mystery is gaslighting from Socialists who don't want anyone to understand that such an obvious evil is, actually, the true face of their ideology.
I took a fairly elderly Panasonic DMC-GX80 on holiday with me and despite the lack of HDR, AI and clever stuff with multiple exposures, I found that for most of the interesting photos I wanted to take, it did the right thing.

My phone on the other hand did the blandest thing possible. Impossible to get an atmospheric color cast, a dramatic silhouette or anything that made a photo interesting to me. It was fine in most situations with "normal" lighting but they aren't usually the things I want to photograph.

The problem isn't the smartness - it's that combined with the pathological desire to simplify UI and remove options. Give me the clever stuff but let me tweak it.

But no - settings are bad and options are confusing to the user.
It's really easy to imagine a Nigerian person saying their belief is grounded in the reality of people they know claiming to have seen it, and that the charms are more of a lifehack than anything supernatural.
That sounds right. In my own anecdotal experience I see a much bigger push to use hooks for everything, where before only useEffect and a few others would be expected.

I wish old methods would be deprecated and all features made available in function components.
> In terms of history, in the past 500 years, Russia has been invaded several times from the west. Specifically, Moscow has been attacked and conquered six times in its history by foreign armies, and usually via the same routes.

If they think Moscow is too close to a border for safety, they should cry themselves to sleep and try to find friends to protect them. Is there any capital city in the world further from the closest border or ocean, besides Brasilia?
Didn’t quite understand why this is news. The limiter idea is actually pretty novel. Twice in my life I fell behind on the electric bill, and it was shut off entirely.

Maybe I’m reading between the lines, but to write this news article focusing on the plight of a mother and her children - there’s clearly some agenda here. More subsidies or free electricity for certain people? I’m not arguing in favor or against this, but there’s clearly some intent.

Every single Mac focused developer I’m aware of started pre or around 2010 as well, including me, for a reason.

Riding a peak in a self admitted niche market all the way down and then recommending it to others as you yourself exit your career isn’t evidence, it’s irresponsible.

The simple fact you had a book on Cocoa programming written in the past decade (and official programming guides, offline/online discussion groups, WWDCs with more than a handful of events) should tell you something about the relative difference in the market since then.

As several here have noted, an antidote is to use both RAW and jpg formats. I have my Pixel set to dual outputs, which yields both Google's processed image and a dng I can use later.

For the shifts in color (blue skies at night or colorful sunsets turned dun), that problem exists for most cameras. No matter the camera you use, if you turn off automatic white balance and pin it to 'daylight' or ~5500K, you'll find a whole world of color returns to your images. There's post-processing work (definitely work in RAW, of course) to do, but it brings back a perspective that is often lost.

As for the author's lament, "Now every photo we take on our iPhones has had the salt applied generously, whether it is needed or not." , I'm less sad. People like salty snacks and fast food, but that doesn't mean a meal from a skilled chef is any less delicious. If anything, it makes the work of an artisan stand out more to those who appreciate it.

Anyone have an idea of which part of US Code would require this? I have a hard time imagining it's that prescriptive about font sizes (especially given that different fonts have different glyph sizes, DPI on monitors results in different physical rendering sizes etc.) Only thing that comes to mind is that Apple court case many years back where the judge told them they had to have a disclaimer on their page in a certain size and color as part of the judgement.

I wanted a bit more control over how backend processes worked. Our specific architectural requirements were easiest to implement with DO. Also, they have more locations, so if we want to have multi region we felt it would be easier on DO.
Though this is also a strong reminder that though useEffect can entirely replace service layers and state management layers such as react-query/Redux/Mobx/Relay/what-have-you doesn't mean it necessarily should. (Ultimately that's the bottom line summary from this article.) useEffect is a very "raw" low-level tool, at some point it is a good idea to consider a higher-level tool (maybe one based on useEffect under the hood).

Don't forget too that trying to do everything in raw useEffect code may be a sign of putting too much business logic in your views and abstracting that out can be a good separation of concerns no matter how you decide to abstract that service layer (and/or which tools like react-query/Redux/Mobx/etc you choose to make that easier).

css "co" designer. that explains a lot. horse by committee.

i find many uses. sometimes you need to override a style coming from an external or to apply a rule globally, you can just use !important and know that it will work regardless of individual specificity in all instances of that selector.

yes, you could override it with specificity but why bother, a hack is a hack

I typed "desk" into the search bar and came across posts with desk in the name, e.g. Four Hands Edna Desk Chair-Fedora Oatmeal (https://www.spoken.io/page/f8420225-c2ba-4048-8454-e4e3a897a...), as well as items that weren't desks (such as Signature Design by Ashley Hyndell Dresser, Brown (https://www.spoken.io/page/b0d3e420-34ef-43fe-b7ca-3066f0c98...)).

I also noticed that there wasn't an option to filter the posts by furniture type. I don't know if the metadata of each item keeps track of the type of item that it is, but if so then you could add a type filter.
If the documentation is intended to be used as a technical reference by people who won’t get the reference, that is, by its nature, unsympathetic to the people who will be using it, no matter what he claims — and I don’t think he has ever actually shown how he’s weighed such concerns.
For sports photography, why wouldn't you want stacked exposures for the non-moving background parts of the frame? If it allows getting a comparable noise floor with faster shutter speeds, that seems like a strictly good trade.
