> You're really questioning the value of education past 5th grade?

No, I just raised this as a response to your comment claiming people in 1840 America were "mostly illiterate"[1]: I was talking about reading and writing, because you were talking about literacy, and I do agree that it is valuable to teach people basic literacy and numeracy. In no way my comment above implies that I question the value of education past 5th grade.

That said, I do in fact question value of state-organized mass education past 5th grade as it currently exist, yes. To be clear, I'm not questioning the value of learning things past 5th grade, but rather the way we pretend people learn things today.

> Most things in life can't be quantified, yet aren't useless.

If you decompose the syntax of the sentence you're referring to, you'll find that the "useless" in it does not refer to "education", but rather to your argument: it is useless to argue that "X is good for you, so extra 4-8 years doing X is worth it", unless you can quantify exactly how good X in fact is for you, and how good extra 4-8 years of doing X would be.

Say, imagine X to be "learning to play a musical instrument": it's probably worthwhile for everyone to spend some time doing that, but the idea that everyone needs to spend at least 12 years of their lifes, and most people should spend 4 on top of that, is rather ludicrous. How do you know that regular schooling is not exactly liked that, without trying to quantify it? You don't.

> What studies?

The Google Scholar keyword for you to familiarize yourself with the rather substantial literature on the topic is "sheepskin effect".

[1] - you are very much wrong that Americans in 1840 were mostly illiterate, by the way: literacy in US was historically always very high, and by mid 1800s, large majority was already literate, despite lack of federally-mandated government schooling. This is a legacy of English heritage, where majority of male Englishmen were already literate in mid 1600s. They did not get there through top-down state-organized schooling, it was mostly a bottom-up effort, where local Church played huge role.

Is SwiftUI pretty much the same in this regard? I’ve only taken time to do the trivial examples in either Compose or SwiftUI, but they feel very similar, so I’m wondering if your prognosis also applies to SwiftUI.

> GrapheneOS and AOSP are Linux-based and there are no closed source kernel modules.

I ran AOSP builds for years and that's a half-truth at best. Sure for the kernel proper, you have the source. However, there are a fair number of closed source drivers for the GPU, modem, wifi etc. From the GrapheneOS Wikipedia page[1] it sure looks like they're following this model.

If I am mistaken and there is a miraculous state-of-the-art SoC with completely open source drivers being used by a major handset maker, do tell. You'll be a hero in the open source world for pointing out something everyone else has overlooked.

> Sticking to an LTS kernel branch for the lifetime of the device isn't due to anything closed source.

It has everything to do with things being closed source. Try doing a Linux kernel major version upgrade with binary-only drivers for key components sometime. It sounds like the only reason GrapheneOS works is because they're 'drafting' off of the kernel and driver work done by Google, not that they've cracked that particular nut themselves. Nothing wrong with that, but it does limit the useful life of a device to the first major security issue they can't fix due to a lack of source code.

Regarding the rest of your response, you're assuming that I was speaking to the Librem 5 specifically, I was not. Notice that I was only speaking about the goal of a 'pure' Linux phone since that was what seemed to be being asked about. Personally, I have a PinePhone[2] and wasn't interested in rehashing the various issues with the Librem 5.

I would think the print layer resolution would spoil the effect since it would produce non-convex regions and extra equilibrium points. It could be smoothed by post-processing, but presumably polishing/sanding would get you into the same trouble. The article goes into how the shape "almost doesn't exist", which would seem to imply great precision is required. I'm wondering how they manage to machine the shape in metal..

> Shared state across coroutines is nearly as dangerous as shared state across threads, and (I conjecture) far more pervasive.

The danger is roughly equal, conceptually shared concurrent state has all of the same corruption risks regardless of additional concurrency considerations (fault tolerance, CAP, resource management, etc). The latter is probably harder to quantify, but I suspect the answer very closely hews to the age of the overall codebase and the exposure of contributors to different approaches.

The reasons I suspect that:

1. The event loop/cooperative concurrency model isn’t restricted to JS, but it’s so heavily weighted towards JS by volume that those trends will dominate any quantitative change.

2. The convergence of rest/spread syntax, async/await syntax, and React: all of these arrived or became widely adopted around the same time, and promoted a more functional style even if it wasn’t recognized or called that.

3. Older codebases, even if they aggressively adapt to those idiomatic changes, retain and even go on producing more shared concurrent state because the risk is hard to know and untangling it is hard to prioritize. (I live this every day in projects I’ve inherited, and I’d expect the same with projects of similar age if they’d lived this long.)

I would bet these temporal assumptions roughly line up for other environments with similar concurrency models and similar evolutionary paths, depending mostly on how rapidly they churn.
> Doctors that share a racial and cultural with their patients are able to provide better care

How many monitors do you have? Do you never need to switch between multiple terminal windows or text editors or PDFs or word documents? I with cmd-` I can swap between just the windows inside the application context, and with cmd-tab I can swap between application contexts.

I see Dr. Oz promoting his latest super food on TV, even suggesting that it might cure my cancer. Clearly he's a quack, and there are other doctors on TV like him, therefore modern medicine is nonsense.

Well, in the mathematical sense that's not true. The Gomboc is defined as a homogeneous solid object with one stable equilibrium.
No, that is likely not a mistake. The battery life on my Librem 5 is ~8 hours for me on standby with the Modem/Wifi on, I can probably get a bit longer without wifi on. With moderate usage, I would say it drops to ~5-6 hours? But I haven't done any rigorous testing to tell you exact numbers.

Since I am usually either at home or at work, it isn't far away from a charger so battery life isn't a huge deal for me.
Is price gouging in this context illegal (genuine question, I know very little in this area, but I would not have thought so). It seems to me like they are effectively just selling at the price the market will bear, which is artificially inflated at present.
You could take a legitimate battery and swap good cells for cheaper or old cells. The actual cells usually don't have any smarts to them and would still show as having a full charge but the range would be limited. It could take at least one depletion cycle for the processor inside to realize the cells are of poor health and may just look normal to untrained eyes. Proper security would include soldering batteries in, welding the plastic seams shut, or adding tamper indicators in the battery like a switch on the lid. The system could just refuse to charge any tampered batteries or the attendant could refuse to swap any batteries that have obvious damage.

My fairly high-end system with NVMe drives is absurdly slow at booting to my minimal Arch Linux installation's (tty) login screen. And I'm not some anti-systemd evangelist, but it certainly doesn't seem to be helping matters. Once the kernel starts being loaded, it shouldn't take more than a couple more seconds to get to login.
Yes. But I (and most of the people who work here) tend to agree: the capital concept of infinite growth is fundamentally broken. We're a small company, we have a flat salary policy (everyone, including the owners, earns the same wage). The salary is enough; it's market competitive without going overboard. We have a profit share so when the team does well, we all do well. We aim to raise our billable rates and our salaries in line with inflation.

It's a simple, sustainable model. We don't grow, but we don't shrink. We exist. That's enough.

It’s a developers version of a “wive’s tale.”

Over time, accrued wisdom has turned into a rule of thumb such that Grumpy Old Developers sit around the fire with Young Energetic Developers and say “ya know, child, never use !important, it’s bad design.”

The web development industry is getting mature enough to even have this kind of wisdom, which is wonderful, even if (like “wive’s tales”) the principle is overstated.
Yes, you're quite right -- sorry for not being precise enough. However my point was that the fact that we cannot see beyond the CMB and the uniformity of the pattern both point towards a Big Bang-esque explanation.

Sorry for not adding more. But just so this. I’ve loved learning Elixir of late. But my programs need state. I really miss how well I could model general state using objects like those afforded by Smalltalk and Python.

There OP, fixed that for you.
The reason we have laws is not because of how words are defined in a dictionary.

Instead, there are other underlying reasons for why laws exist, and it is not because of some silly argument such as "Well, this is what the the definition of a word is, therefore we are stuck and can't do anything about it!".

And other people are questioning what these other underlying reasons are.
There's no such thing as "production ready". Everyone's production scenario is completely different and you project is only offered as-is.
Technology, viewed in the traditional sense, is a means to an end. In the context of farming, for example, the plough and its later improvements weren't the endgame--the increased yields were.

I often equate a business to a ship. It's dynamic, navigates obstacles, and is captained by leadership.

Perhaps the two examples are extremes on a spectrum. And inside is the option to learn more about the ship, so that the right problems can be resolved and solutions found, to help it reach its destination. And perhaps fulfillment can be found there.

In fact, in doing so, sometimes, new courses become realized. Personally, I find getting one charted very fulfilling.
Seems like perverting the meaning of "legitimate interest" is the ad industry's next move, now that the obviously illegal popups were officially decried as illegal.

Motorcycles are extremely dangerous. Research about accidents and (lack of) safety where they're popular: Índia, Brazil, etc. You don't wanna go to funerals after this comes to your city, trust me.

Work at a bank. Microservices have allowed replacement as tech preferences or performance requirements have changed. I haven’t always liked the changes but they were enabled by the architecture. Can shift one service at a time, run both, leave some services alone, no dependency.

It be’s like that. As OP says, they’re not PCs so don’t expect them to be PCs.

I ordered my phone October 10, 2017.

As of March 21, 2022, I have not received my order yet. When given the option, I selected to receive the completed phone, rather than a beta build. Thus, the delay.

Mainly, I did not order this to just have a phone (as I have several older Androids). I wanted to help fund an alternative to the Android / Apple ecosystems.

Hopefully soon.

I once worked in a department of a fortune 50 which did not have seemingly any need to produce profit or in practice ship any software. Every design came down to debating why don't you do x, for every value of x that the team could come up with.

> The context menu in File Explorer now gates some of the most useful options behind another extra click […] What’s the point of these changes?

For that specific change, the Windows Developer Blog post “Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11” (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/07/19/extend...) hints at the designers’ reasons.

I haven’t switched to Windows 11 due to the many other complaints I’ve heard, but based on various statements in that post I can imagine good reasons for changing the context menu:

# Saving menu navigation time

Having a long menu that contains every option is not free: it requires more time and effort from the user when they locate and click on the common items they use. Depending on how often the prioritized items are clicked and how big the penalty is for, the tradeoff could be worth it.

I don’t have the data on how much menu navigation time a smaller menu saves in the long term, but since Microsoft forces telemetry on users, hopefully they did at least collect such data while they evaluated the new design.

# Encouraging API upgrades

This change also encourages app developers to upgrade their context menu extensions to the latest API by “punishing” them if they don’t, by making their context menu items slower to access. While it’s understandable that developers of such apps would feel annoyed at this increased pressure to upgrade, such a policy might be an effective way to helping end users by solving the last two Windows 10 context menu problems listed by the blog post. That is, this increased pressure to use a newer API might:

• increase the numbers of apps the user uses whose commands are attributable to that app

• increase the number of apps the user uses whose extensions of the context menu have a lower risk of performance and reliability issues

However, I do see the potential for this backfiring if developers of Windows apps think that Windows is requiring too much upkeep for maintaining their software on Windows to be worth it.
Are you saying the article didn't mention global warming? You didn't read carefully enough. Climate is one of the things the author accuses the economist Diane Coyle of relegating to the "margin":

"All the same, her title cannot help but evoke other, perhaps more frightening monsters—ecological breakdown, deadly pandemics, secular stagnation, rising inequality, authoritarian resurgence—that her analysis relegates to the margins when it mentions them at all."

In the section on the book by Elizabeth Popp Berman, the author of the piece lays emphasis on the way the "economic style" has been involved in "downplaying, avoiding, exacerbating, and denying" dealing with carbon emissions:

"This was the first step in the marketization of pollution rights that ultimately led to cap-and-trade approaches to ozone regulation; economists would propose the very same approach to climate for years, leading to a spectacular failure of implementation in the United States and negligible impact on emissions in Europe to date. As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently reiterated, the costs of this comprehensive failure have been staggering."

Makes sense that our brain has instinctual mechanisms to differentiate between force due to gravity and forces due to something else.

This type of illusion gives us insight into how it works. Obviously it's visually based. Our brain instinctively rationalizes the force as something other than gravity (rolling uphill) if the visual markers don't align.

We tend to think conscious judgement and categorization is part of the executive decision making process of our brain. But this illusion shows that it is not. Categorizing a force as gravity or not gravity is done by a very primitive part of our brain.

What people don't realize that these primitive modules extend beyond physical forces to even morals. What you categorize as good and evil is done instinctively by a primitive part of your brain and suffers from identical counterparts to optical illusions that are a part of the vision module of our brain.
