"rarely includes any alternative model"? Did you read the piece?

Here is the alternative model proposed by Skidelsky:

"These deep methodological issues do not render economic knowledge utterly useless, Skidelsky suggests. But they do mean economics as we know it may have to be thrown out. [...] We should instead take a more provisional, open, and flexible attitude toward economic phenomena and treat economics as (just) another social science, rather than one supposedly purified of uncertainty by its logical prowess. Concretely, this means we should abandon dreams of an immaculate science of economic life—and stop deferring to those who claim to speak in its name. More abstractly, in place of a discipline that neglects the 'mesoeconomic' level—the institutions, firms, unions, banking systems, social movements, digital platforms, states, and other social entities that shape our behavior—Skidelsky proposes an approach 'which is more modest in its epistemology and richer in its ontology.'"
Nope! I actually haven't heard of that (I assume it's a podcast; I don't listen to any personally). I just grew up a big fan of baseball, and since my dad had always been as well, he shared a bunch of knowledge with me directly and through various books I read as a kid. I'm honestly not sure how exactly I first heard of him, since I was so young when it happened.

In what way can one force someone to sell at a price you want them to. Is it price gouging if I refuse to sell to you a commodity that you really want if I think I can get more out of it?

Fully on board with this. And a good reason to stick to retailers you know. But it's expensive..

I love 'real' furniture (and design) but it's expensive... Furnishing a small sized condo with DWR or similar quality or vintage/antique easily costs $15k+

It's worth it IMHO and there are less expensive quality options too.

There are some good finds like I have a coffee table from CB2. but have to look closely at the materials. Metal & marble. Solid __ wood or real __ veneer not on top of cheap particle crap.

Nice furniture actually retains value. Lasts forever. Can pass it down. I don't think anyone's Ikea Billy is going to last the test of time. But pieces from 200 years ago still sell at auction and some mid century originals go for crazy amounts of money.

Even though I make good money it's still expensive. after buying I spent like 2 years furnishing it fully.

The problem is almost no one can afford nice stuff upfront

and a recurring cycle of poverty

For instance bigger necessities: a nice pair of shoes or boots will last longer and thus cost 3x less over lifetime than cheapos.

But a large % can't afford the upfront cost.

IDK what a solution could be. Maybe all those online pay over 4 months zero interest are filling this need.

But still would need longer terms to afford something substantial.

Plus if those companies are making money it's from fees and debt. just reinforces the cycle with the added dopamine of ooh i get this for free today one click online buying
This is pretty awful if true. I've been through a fair number of mid-priced android phones (I'm more of a buy what's good enough and replace every couple of years for fun guy than a flagship phone guy), and I don't recall /any/ of them lasting for less than ~24 hrs on mostly standby/light usage. Obviously battery life drops a fair bit if you play a bunch of games or stream video or whatever though.

Southampton (UK) had a pilot scheme for Voi scooters and had geo-fencing in the app, for parking zones, speed restriction zones and no-go zones.

Theoretically a great thing, but at least one of the parking zones was slightly off, and the scooter would only lock in the middle of the road!

This is unrelated to the parent topic directly, but I just read that article in 6 minutes. I saw this comment before I actually read the article, so I was reading at a normal speed rather than just skimming, to retain enough that I feel like I could explain it to someone else if I had to. That video is 20 minutes long! I know people seem to prefer to consume information from a video vs just reading about it but it kind of struck me that the article was described as "lengthy" and the video was described as a "summary".

The robin hood fiasco presumably made more of a main stream impact because it was a "fun" human interest story rather than just a dry technical thing that was a problem, then got fixed, and most people never cared about and definitely will never remember a year from now.

Since I use all three operating systems I don't really care. The thing is... I expected much more from the MacBook, because the whole internet said it's faster, when in my experience it's way slower. Two Macbook Air M1 vs Envy X360 2021 5700U 2021, vs Ryzen 2500u ThinkPad E585.

Pure anecdotal, but the internet has made more claims and backfired in full effect.
> I can't remember the last time I ever had to use !important except when I had to work with some ridiculous CSS "framework" my predecessors chose to use. At least !important was understandable back in the days when it was really hard to achieve some things with CSS, but these days I believe there's little to no excuse.

Yep. I find of the usage of !important I see daily is failure of the programmer to understand precedence rules, which, as you pointed towards, is mostly due to cascading.
Untrue. Recruiters will look at it, people down the line will look at it. Practically it doesn't matter, but for marketing purposes it does.

There are whole sitcoms devoted to this (idea of negotiating every price), at least 25 years aged.

And yeah in my experience being generous almost always produces discounts for everyone. I’m not gonna post it but my take is: did you know that workers generally know they’re not spending their own money, but enjoying as much of their leeway as possible with money they’ll never ever get paid on the job?

Tip your waitstaff and bartenders and basically everyone who will accept a tip y’all.
One thing that has periodically worked for me is the application of some fun infographic-tier latency figures to really drive home the argument for why distributed anything generally sucks ass. I.e. Would you rather that customer transaction either be:

1) A direct method invocation resolved within the same L1 cache contents.

or

2) One quick network hop just 5 milliseconds away?

Assuming worst case processing semantics (global total order), you would be able to process ~10 million times more customer transactions per unit time with option 1 vs option 2. This is seven orders of magnitude.

In my experience, not a whole lot is truly worst case, but most complicated & important business systems (banking/finance/inventory/logistics/crm/etc.) are pretty close if you don't want to be chasing temporal rabbits around all day.
Most exchanges have circuit breakers. LME is old fashioned in lots of ways and being late to circuit breakers is one way. They’ll have them going forward.
> considering the new competition with the Pinephone Pro that's coming out

Heh, with how the developers cooperate, you would never know there was competition.

But seriously, if you do want to fund Mobile Linux, buy a Librem 5. Purism funds dedicated GNOME/Phosh/etc. devs to work on making Mobile Linux a polish experience, and many of them also help to make sure it works on the Pinephone/Pinephone Pro. Heck, sometimes I think many of their employees spend more time helping out Mobian users on a Pinephone than they do Librem 5 users.

As much as I like Pine64 (I think making a $150 Linux Phone was an amazing idea!), they exclusively only fund the hardware development. Drew Devault has, IMO, a good overview of criticisms of Pine64: https://drewdevault.com/2022/01/18/Pine64s-weird-priorities....
One caveat- I went to one of these and had a very good experience, but finding a job is a huge problem later if you don’t already have connections from family etc, because of the lack of name recognition. Recruiting is much better at much lower ranked state schools.
> any transactions over $600 to the IRS

Pedantic but the change was that any P2P service has to give you a form to fill out if you send or receive more than $600 in a calendar year. Since 1970 with the Bank Secrecy Act, banks have had to report ACH/cash/wire deposits over $10,000 to the IRS and are at their own liberty to report anything lower.
I found one of these on a road trip a long time ago. We were heading up the hill to Magazine Mountain in Arkansas in the rain. My old Chevy pickup was struggling as if we were climbing and with all the twists in the road we couldn't go very fast. I was looking out the side window making sure I didn't find the ditch and we could plainly see that the water was flowing uphill from our frame of reference. The engine felt like we were climbing and the water was definitely moving in the apparent uphill direction. I filed that away in my memory as a curiosity. Thanks for the nice explanatory site.

It is possible that the illusion persisted because our horizon was completely blocked by the mixed hardwood forest we were driving through.

The old Chevy was a bit of a clunker. Top speed was just over 55 mph with that worn-out engine although the Missouri State Police with their "speed checked by airplanes" were gracious enough to give me (and a couple others with out of state plates) a ticket for 72 in a 55 as we reached the state police checkpoint just before we left Missouri. The old truck carried us to the beach in Charleston, SC and then back up through the Smokies and across Tennessee to our home in Texas. Cheap trip. When I got home I had just spent my last few dollars on gas and a loaf of bread for our peanut butter. It was a great way to celebrate graduating high school. Good times.

It might not be a claim, just simple metonymy.

Yes – 16px times new roman.

Almost everything overrides the default font size because almost every browser has a default of 16px, while almost every desktop OS uses a UI font of <13px.
That's very true, but then you have a hard time removing it to get the data from it, or to put new code onto it :)

It is definitely possible to reap a lot of those things with monoliths. Separating internal code using libraries (as the sibling poster said), using different server clusters to serve different routes, deploying those clusters independently if possible, using multiple databases, separating the applications in different "areas" maintained by different teams. The one thing microservices can do that monoliths can't, however, is allowing as many different languages.

Meanwhile I love the word "deliverable." Sometimes it's hard to think of an umbrella word for all the things you produce. It can be anything from a stack of pamphlets coming hot off the printing press, or those pin buttons that are given away during fundraisers but no one wears, or those custom printed stickers, or those table menu trifolds, or a laminated portfolio that you deliver to a client.
Yes, motocycle is evidently more dangerous than car. But, some people don't have a choice. In some country, car is still a luxury. For example, in my country, a used car can cost at least 3 times a brand new motocycle.
I haven't paid much attention to this stuff, but recently I discovered a trick for slowly migrating the web services on an old server to a new one: via reverse proxy definitions on the new server that pass through selective paths to the old one. To the outside, it looks like one server. The new server has the SSL identity with up-to-date crypto and all and terminates the HTTPS connections. As I'm doing this, suddenly it hits me: oh so this is Cloudfare in a mini nutshell?
Usually, battery issues with hardware like that are more about idle time and reaching deep sleep states than active usage time with screen on. The latter is quite reasonable on the Librem 5, the former could be improved.
I worked on a larger project where some of the code was "literate" programming. It was an absolute pain to modify anything. Debugging, not so much, since tangle produces raw source code. This you can work with. The problem is working with the original files.

Syntax highlighting? Good luck! But possibly you could work around this, e.g. via custom highlighting syntax. Same with any auto-complete, contextual IDE help, etc. Refactoring was painful.

Also, the text absolutely destroys being able to scan and reason about the control flow quickly. Especially bad when a dev decides something needs "a lot of documentation" and writes a small novel.

Needless to say, it was truly awful.
Is it really fair to say about software though?

As it is, a DSLR or mirrorless cameras put a lot of money to make good lenses and frames.

I think it is fair to say that the software was usually on desktops, with the likes of Adobe providing all features needed for making a good photo great.

Is it really necessary for the camera companies to cram half baked, low powered software into compact camera cases and increase the cost by another 600 - 1000 USD?

There was a time when everyone bought point and shoot ones to get their pictures. Mobiles have almost fully replaced those ones. Some people bought DSLRs and the like as a step up compared to PAS ones.

Good mobile cameras might make the DSLR ones back to being professionals choice, rather than an enthusiasts choice.

I would rather they build software to interface with phones to make use of their tremendous computational power rather than re-invent the wheel.

How about having a DSLR that can sync its photos with an iPhone and an iPhone app that automates the processing of the photos?
> The goal is to solve some problem.

but you also have instrumental goals, like you don't want to relearn how to reinvent the wheel every time. you don't want to figure out from first principles every time how to transmit style information next to HTML in a concise way, to apply that to the DOM, etc.

hence the tools of the trade.

and there's an endless iteration of this problem. that's why every new version of each tool helps to do certain things faster, in an easier way, with less code. usually tools focus on trendy things, and as a consequence other things usually become harder to accomplish with the tools (simply because the tools become more complex, their documentation becomes bigger, etc)

there are certain abstractions that are very powerful, work well, sort of simple to grasp and compose (Turing machines, loops, map-reduce, structural pattern matching, types / interfaces, distance vector routing & IP addresses)

and the cascade is somewhere along the spectrum of tools.

sure, it's far from perfect, but learning the basics is okay, it gets the job done, so it's a quite expressive tool.

I would consider cystic fibrosis to be cured when there are no longer any carriers on the planet who could procreate and make another person who will suffer from that terrible affliction.

> Why do you get to choose? Have you ever asked one of these people if they find their lives to be meaningless? How about their parents?

My hope with this technology is that we can give prospective parents the kind of tools that allow them to make reproductive choices that best reflect their desires and hopes and dreams for their children. The question of course is what are they going to do with these tools? Will they eagerly use them or throw them away in disgust?

And then what do we do as a society in response to that?

Is it legal to feed your new born child alcohol?
Is it legal for pregnant women to drink alcohol?
Is it legal for two cystic fibrosis gene carriers to knowingly produce a child who will suffer from cystic fibrosis?
Is it legal for someone to modify their embryo so that it turn into a child that will be a cystic fibrosis carrier?
Is it legal for someone to modify their embryo so that it turn into a child that will suffer from cystic fibrosis?

Which of these things should be legal and which shouldn't? How do we enforce them?
Over the past 10 years dev tools (eg. git, IDEs, laptops) have also become more performant by some small constant factor, 2-3x, which isn't massive in comparison to Moore's law stuff, but means that a larger fraction of new software projects can start monolithic and stay monolithic for longer.

Unless you're handling millions of lines of code and 1000s of developers, you won't need to abandon a monorepo or commit to expensive custom dev-platform investments.
I don't really give a damn about battery /efficiency/. I care about battery life. The impact on my power bill of charging up a 5000mah battery vs a 2500mah battery is completely insignificant.

If Apples battery efficiency is so good they should release a phone with a 5000mah battery /as well as/ said efficiency and market their battery life that beats all their competitors by multiple days, I'm sure a lot of people would buy that in a heartbeat.
Yeah, I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that's clearly not privileged. It's not surprising the government is trying to get access to them, but I also don't think it's evidence of Google trying to hide anything. There is training, but a lot of people ignore it and treat Legal haphazardly.
An e-ink display would allow for an always on clock though, which would be pretty sweet.
This method is similar, but uses the parents' genomic data to improve predictions of the embryo's genome (since sequencing only a few cells gives low-quality data).

Block 0 of most SSDs is typically used for storing a whole heap of data that's pertinent to the operation of the SSD, most typically the image of the firmware. If you scramble that the drive's controller won't be able to boot. It then becomes a chicken and egg problem because if the drive controller can't boot you can't flash new firmware into the first block. You can possibly throw the drive back into debug mode and reprogram it like they do at the factory but that involves a lot of expertise and screwing around with low level hardware. From the perspective of an ordinary user the drive is pretty much bricked.

In Apple's case there's a BootROM literally laid out in the mask of the secure enclave. It's read-only and it's permanent. This BootROM has a fallback that can be used to at least load a new iBoot image from scratch. So even if the NAND on the flash is scrambled you can still boot the machine in DFU mode, install a new iBoot, and bootstrap the machine from there. You won't have the data but at least your NAND still works.
The energy consumption when charging isn't the issue; it's all that extra mass of additional battery needed to hold the charge.
