Thank you so much!

Good luck starting a channel. I definitely learned a lot during the process of making this video. One thing I found helpful was to write out what I wanted to communicate and iterate on that before filming anything. Maybe that’ll help you get to explanations you’re happy with.
Yeah. Don't.

GUI frameworks are like cryptography: you never want to roll your own. You will spend endless time implementing all the widgets a typical UI framework has, tweaking it until it feels kinda right, and even then they won't feel totally right until you've done extensive user testing and acted on the resultant feedback. Hundreds or thousands of hours of work for something that won't be as good as Windows, macOS, or Qt.

And I haven't even gotten started on internationalization or accessibility! Ohohohoho, boy.

There's a reason why the best (only good, really) UI framework is proprietary to a large, multi-trillion-dollar company.

In conclusion, just use your OS's native framework or one of the half-decent ones for Linux if you're working on Linux.
And it’s not just that Go allows that, but that that’s actually the only general way of doing it, as Go only allows duration * scalar in constant context (which is admittedly all most people do with durations, which is why I say it’s still probably better than Go did it this way, given their deliberately limited type system).
Oh god not this again. I'm not sure if this is just ripped off or if this is another person encouraging others to commit career and / or social suicide. To be blunt if you do this to me in the workplace and you are my direct report you will get a verbal warning. If you do it repeatedly you will get fired. If you are a colleague and you do this I will report you, and will never help you. If you do this to me and I know you socially I will no longer want to spend any time with you.

Edit: article this strongly reminds me of that is also terrible advice. https://erikvancraddock.com/2022/01/dont-explain/
What are your thoughts on as-you-type errors? I personally don't like seeing errors on every keystroke, so in sublime, I set the lint mode to "background" and set the "delay" [0] to 2 or 3 seconds. Do you know if such a thing is possible in vscode?

X is deprecated and virtually abandonware at this point, so... username checks out.
In my opinion that's too specific as you'd need a dozen methods just to accomplish the common needs. Why not use a type as the argument that's explicit and meets even more use cases? Meaning instead of accepting an int just accept a `timedelta` in python or a `time.Duration` in go, or `2.seconds` (I don't recall the type) in rails?
At Discord our entire real time system is built ontop of Elixir. Everything is an "actor" in that model. Every single Discord server, websocket connection, voice call, screenshare, etc... distributed using a consistent hash ring.

It's an incredibly great model for these things. We've been able to scale this system from hundreds to hundreds of millions of users with very little changes to the underlying architecture.
I seems that you want all the features the official YouTube app has. Why not use it?

If you don't want to see ads, pay for YouTube Premium if it's available in your region. Otherwise you can certainly create a fork and add those features and nobody will be angry with you.
My Views on Zig
I think it depends on how you approach it. I find people who aren't used to negotiation are the easiest to negotiate with because they get uncomfortable and want to find a workable solution as quickly as possible.
Thanks for sharing. I knew about The Wild Trees and have The Hidden Life of Trees but was unaware of the others.

If emergency landings were a such a serious consideration why do so many flights go straight over the Pacific ocean? I always think if we go down here we’ll be hundreds of miles from help. Unless they fly over really heavily trafficed sealanes and I’m not aware.
Yes, your past experience sounds sad.

But, with regard to public education systems in the US:

- it's definitely true that some people 'attempt to blame low quality of a system on individuals'

- it's not generally true that this leads to firing (of teachers)

But that's what the author meant with high tech individuals mirroring the opinions of their middle class peers.

Besides, the jury is still out about the outcome of said low-tech upbringings. Steve Jobs' kids are now adults (the oldest is older than 30), and while it's already an accomplishment for somebody in that income & privilege stratum to be leading an entirely scandal free life (as far as I can tell), it's not like any of them seem to have done anything truly impactful with their lives either.

So maybe the reason for that low tech upbringing was that they were not really expected to have to do anything major, but were being raised, essentially, to be modern gentry, to clean up nicely, sit on the board of family foundations, keep a clean nose, and remain somewhat detached from the grubby details of the actual running of the world. Nice work if you can get it, to be sure, but necessarily a line of work available to non-billionaires.
Packet loss and increased latency are the main symptoms of using more bandwidth than the network can reasonably provide.
Had this same thought when I watched this teardown when it came out a few days ago.

I'm a big fan of the power/efficiency of the M1 (and all variants), but it's completely ridiculous that the teardown is so involved to get at the fans/heatsink for cleaning.
Sadly, I think you're overlooking the extremely feudal nature of higher education - especially at the "leading" institutions - and how strongly many people want to be associated with the modern equivalent of the pomp, pageantry, and glory of the Sun King's court in the beautiful Palace of Versailles. No matter how expensive that is...

Of course, the ever-growing expense of all the pomp and palaces will eventually bankrupt the whole system - just as the expense of the French King's court at Versailles eventually lead to the French Revolution.
Like any TDD proponent (and most cultists, really), the author insists that „you're not doing it right”, despite reading the scriptures. You're always misunderstanding, YOU are the reason TDD doesn't work, no, TDD is itself flawless. There's always a slight misinterpretation of the magic words! But TDD works, you're the sinner for not using it right!

And then you have shocked people when they find out that 100% test coverage doesn't mean that you really have a bug-free codebase.

To negotiate successfully: a) you have to know what you want b) you have to ask for what you want c) you have to be willing to walk away if you don't get it.

None of that is as simple as it sounds. "I want the best price" is not knowing what you want, it's requesting a 5% discount that patronizes you. Asking for what you want doesn't mean "give me X for $Y", it means building a rapport with the seller first, and usually negotiating over multiple items to get a positive-sum result. And being willing to walk away is really hard if you don't research, build up alternate options, and are genuinely OK with throwing what may be hours, days, weeks on the negotiation in favor of your alternative.

If someone gives you a huge discount just because you strolled up and immediately asked for it, honestly, it's not that you're a good negotiator, it's more likely that they're a bad negotiator, and by sheer virtue of even trying, you have exposed their lack of skill. You shouldn't consider that to be typical.
My own thoughts on it are that yes, that is definitely something that should be user-controllable, but as far as I know it's not possible in VS Code. I remember the old issue below, which was closed without actually fixing that.

Personally, though, I've learned to live with it, so it no longer bothers me, except in principle. ;-)

I'd much rather have annoyingly-instant error highlighting than missing or incomplete error highlighting. It will look good once I've finished the code.

Have not read the article yet but I guess it can be solved using incremental tests. First we write the tests for the core features of the API then while implementing it to pass the tests, we'll find that there arw some edge cases that we have not consider, so we write tests for them.
In addition tests framework like jest provides good API around the coverages.

I wonder if the significant deflation was a feature of this being a medical context, a US medical context in particular.

My vague understanding of the subject is that everyone just pulls giant numbers out of thin air to start the professional haggling conversation with (presumably) the recipient's insurance adjustment team - who will promptly bring things into the realm of reality they work within. IIUC if insurance is held hostage for a full amount (eg, workplace injury) it might end up a lot lower, while if there's an opportunity for recipient copay (eg, elective surgery) the insurer will punt and say "ok we'll just do $X" - even though the recipient may not realize they can adjust the cost down just as easily as the insurer can.

(I faintly recall reading about someone getting some random procedure done, getting quoted $10k by a doctor in a medical center, following up and going "?!?!?!" and being told by the receptionist or similar that the procedure was really just $300 or so (or similarly less). Something like that. The doctor simply had no idea so pulled a number out of rand().)

I think things started out trying to manage liability and lawsuit funding (and legal can generally be a giant price guide watermark hot air balloon...), but sort of accidentally got permanently associated with "oh that'll be expensive" to the point the whole thing just a self-fulfilling-prophecy-powered perpetual motion machine - and not just that, but one with an ever-widening margin between expectation and reality... that the powers that be are distinctly disincentivized to disentangle in any way shape or form.

So being able to assertively question medical fees, and do it Correctly™, is a definitely-useful skill, albeit one that is categorically tricky to learn (caveat emptor :/)...
Unfounded. There are billions more literate people than in Einstein's day.
As a kid and later a student in France, I had a lot of success haggling in computer stores to lower the price even with an online store LDLC (but that was around 2001?) so I'd say haggling di work at least for a while.

I have lived abroad since (including China where I used my negotiating skills a lot :) ) so I'm not sure how it is nowadays.

Thanks for pointing this out. That part threw me off completely when watching it. Like how would that even work.
LibrePlanet 2022: The Net beyond the web
Fully agree with everything in this article. This is definitely a code smell to me to see unitless sizes and intervals specified. I know that whenever I’m doing a code review and I see some property or variable name like “timeout” or “size” I will ask the developer to change the name to make it clear what the unit is trying to portray.

When possible, I also encourage the use of better types than simple integer values, (like TimeSpan if .NET) as these further reduce ambiguity and the potential for mistakes.

This is such a simple thing to find and fix but it definitely helps in the long term.
I understand the feeling of not being able to negotiate because 95% of my purchases are small ticket items from national chains, but if you think negotiating is dead then you aren't looking.

I am NOT a strong negotiator, I'll usually only ask if I'm buying a few things or my checkout price will be greater than ~$200, but just asking will usually be enough. "Can I get a discount" or "can you throw in some of this stuff for free." But even with that, I've been able to get plenty of discounts.

And that expands a TON if you add floor model/open box/dent and ding items. Almost any store will give you a minimum of 10% off on AT LEAST those items.

Places you can negotiate:

* Any car dealership

* Buying houses or real estate

* Renting apartments/houses not managed by multi-city corporations

* Music stores, excluding Guitar Center

* Guitar Center (somewhat)

* Mattress stores

* Furniture stores (that are at least on the level of Ashley furniture) or independent (so no Ikea).

* SaaSes that have sales teams [email them and ask, they often will give discounts if you have a better reason than "I want a discount" which is a pretty low bar. Like student (real student, not I still have my college address 10 years later), military, I'm a poor startup founder and can't afford the full price. <- I've used this a few times pre-revenue]

* Smaller software companies that aren't selling games (email them and ask, they often will give discounts if you have a better reason than "I want a discount" which is a pretty low bar)

* ANY place that sells anything used from slightly used to antiques

* Farmer's markets

* Boutique food stores (this one is kinda iffy unless spending a fair bit)

* Flea markets

* Dentist offices (the approach is different here usually appealing to loyalty discounts, personal hardships, or extra cosmetic type services)

* Mall kiosk vendors oftentimes

* Outside of the US any kind of vendor in a shop that is in a specialized mall (ex. In Seoul in the electronics district, there are malls full of small vendors that have similar inventory as everyone else, you can haggle a ton)

* Any independently owned shop that has most items retailing for >~$50 or average ticket price >~$100.

* Non-chain Restaurants (but I'd generally avoid it unless going high end because margins are usually tiny)

* Pretty much ANY store that hasn't "standardized" itself to death.

* Rental cars

* I could keep going.

Places you can't:

* National chains where the sales staff is minimum wage. Walmart, Best Buy, Target

* Stores selling small-ticket items (average purchase is under $100)

* Online retailers (outside of standard coupons, etc)

* Grocery stores

* Regional/nationally managed rentals.

* I'm having trouble thinking of other places you can't negotiate at least a little at...
I don't understand what you are trying to argue. Your first GGP comment talks about school testing and then ends with a conclusion about the SAT. That is not a school test. It is a student test.

Your immediate parent comment indicates that if school testing were eliminated then students would improve their SAT scores. I agree with that. But it is beside the point. This thread is about whether the SAT should be eliminated, not whether school testing should be eliminated.

At the end, you start to make a point about correlation between "lost education opportunity" and SAT scores. But my reading is that you're saying there's a correlation between LEO and SAT scores. Are you saying it's a positive correlation? Or are you saying students are spending time prepping for SATs, and what they are learning there is negatively correlated with actual learning?

I am trying to understand what you mean. Are you advocating elimination of the SAT? If so, why?
The statement "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" just means that during the early growth of an organism, that organism replays the evolutionary steps it took in reaching its more mature form. But it turns out that is not the case, actually.
How long have you been using Obsidian?
Since 1min could be 61 seconds[1], yes?

But assuming your comment is not a joke. You probably want to convert minutes to seconds in order to work with the same units, then add the scalar parts together.

That's how you deal with different quantities: convert to same unit, add values.

This is analog to fractions: 1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = (2+1)/4 = 3/4.

I understand your point and I would prefer not to have to do this. But I was thinking that we already are going down hill better we chose our path then have others to do it. I would prefer to say prove my age to Canonical then have to send my proof to every website individually. As long as a majority of the users are protected I do not see some idiot religious politician complaining that children could root Android phones and watch porn or that children removed OSX to install Linux to get more freedom(probably a VM would work too).

Since the big companies don't gain lot of money from this like they gain with DRM media and anti-repair I do not see the insentives to push thos ossue to extremes.
The subsidies are irrelevant, US college degrees can indeed cost around 50k, if European universities have the same cost (despite having lower GDP PPP per capita) that's a even larger problem, except the taxpayer is in trouble.
Azerbaijan doesn't have extradition agreements with the US, but it does with multiple US allies in Europe. I doubt it would be safe.
It feels like you are thinking of all the times it works well with people who engage positively and I am thinking of all the times it doesn’t with people who don’t. Like all of us here, I have had plenty of successful online and async collaborations to know it is possible and should work well. Not everything is perfect though.

The problem areas — and the reason you’ve basically all got to be in the office at some point — are decision making ones where a group of two or more people fervently believe in two or more mutually exclusive ways forward. Even when I worked remote for a company multiple timezones away, I would be in the office one week every quarter to first build social capital and later to cash it in when building consensus.

I also think back to one of my stakeholders was an underperforming SWE intern. The rate of online engagement that best suited them was zero, and yet — as with any intern — it was crucial to us that they left feeling positive about their time here. That stuff is really hard over the phone.
Experience/training does seem to matter more as distance increases, distance runners tend to peak older than you'd think.

Also for sprinting, height matters somewhat, in particular the longer your legs the better you will be to a certain point. Being short and light tends to be better for quick off the mark acceleration, but after that it's more about having long legs and fast twitch muscle fibres to keep the acceleration and speed going for longer. For distance running having more muscle mass is somewhat of a disadvantage as it means you will likely develop more lactic acid and will probably gas out sooner, it's preferably to be lightweight develop a strong lung capacity/VO2 max so you can run fast for longer.

If the boys were taller and relatively muscular, they would naturally have an advantage at sprinting, but over distance wouldn't have as much of a natural advantage. Things like running technique, VO2 max, lactate threshold even just the mental aspects of distance running tend to take longer to develop.
Much of this originates from a fundamental aversion to higher education, information, and the capacity to think critically. If you haven't noticed, there has been a concerted effort to purposely limit and/or obstruct people's capacity to think critically.

It appears as though a certain party has determined that it is preferable if their constituents remain illiterate and are doing everything in their power to push laws and regulations that do just that.

In Arizona, Florida, and Indiana, students have to seek permission from parents before being taught about “human sexuality”. Local pressures against “critical race theory” have led to educators self-censoring, districts abandoning equity initiatives. In at least 10 states, legislators have proposed bills that would require administrators to list every book, reading, and activity that teachers use in their lessons, a process that educators argue would be cumbersome and expensive.

A lot of people are concerned with a growing concentration of wealth in the top 1%; however, I think an even more concerning problem will be the growing inequality we see with those that are learned, and those that are not.

It is clear what one side wants. And it is not a good outcome for any of us.

I use a variant of branding in TS for this too, but it’s very much shoving semantics into the language that aren’t meant to be there. Subclasses of primitive types would be semantically closer to F#, but at the expense of being able to ever treat the values as values

I'm curious what the motivation is as well. Just clicks? Like couldn't he have shown some metrics about the YC idea that is going to disrupt higher education - Lambda school - is doing better? I haven't seen as many updates recently.

Or is the idea to get people to drop out early so his startup and other YC startups don't have to pay high starting salaries for college educated engineers.

To be clear I don't necessarily disagree with the tweet thread - just as usual twitter provides no context and is to short to understand the real motivation for the tweet.
