It was an eye-opening experience to realize that I was taken egalitarianism as a given. I, too, couldn't help but see people who were simultaneously demanding the right to speak while also demanding that others should be denied the right to speak out against their original speech. I dismissed these people as irrational hypocrites. But eventually I realized that they weren't hypocrites, their philosophy is entirely consistent. I was implicitly assuming that they valued egalitarianism, but this was a mistake on my part. When these people beat the drum of free speech, they're referring only to their own rights. They aren't interested in granting rights to others. With such people, any appeal to "natural rights" is not intended to be reciprocal: you should be obligated to give them rights, but they should not be obligated to give you rights. They have managed to solve the ethical dilemma of "if people have the freedom to swing their fist and the freedom to not be punched in the face, what happens when someone swings their fist into your face?"; rather than arriving at the egalitarian solution of making some freedoms subservient to other freedoms, they have arrived at the classist solution of making some people subservient to other people. It's entirely coherent. Terrible, but coherent.
You cant just apply some general knowledge about vaccinations to COVID with some selfrighteousness sprinkled on top. Unfortunately its not that easy

>If everyone (not immunosuppressed etc) got vaccinated, fewer people would die.

People at risk of a severe case of covid fare better when vaccinated. Thats it. You vaccinating yourself doesnt save an obese elderly person from covid. Its not magic.

To be more precise, there wont be any herd immunity and that has been clear for well over a year. Its a leaky vaccine which means you still get it and spread it just as much as unvaccinated do. You are a bit less likely to catch it, but not to any meaningful degree. Especially not with the R0 of COVID mutations. Your behavior and non pharmaceutical interventions are still the driving factor.

Differently put, you are vaccinating yourself to protect yourself, not others. You have some implicit protection of others through not overloading the hospital system, but not to the degree some people think. Risk groups are a very real thing and if you are not in one, there are a lot of daily risks you take which are quite a lot riskier. Unless we categorize them as selfish too, i am calling hypocritical double standard.

I would also recommend some self reflection into whether you are using the fact that you are vaccinated as an letter of indulgence like far too many do. You do still spread it and covid isnt just solved once everyone is vaccinated. Not being honest with that could be described as willfully ignorant. Having identified a few especially stupid caricatures doesnt mean you are done thinking.
Nope. That's entirely untrue when the bots are buying all the remaining product. That is where it becomes harmful to both consumers and producers and is no longer "free market" because consumers are now being harmed by being forced to pay more for the same product and the seller is also being harmed because they are getting not even one penny more. When the price of these things are being fixed by contract (as is the case with quite a number of retail goods), then an alteration of the price caused by botters really isn't particularly different from front-running.

If something is merely priced incorrectly, then someone else can also produce that same good and charge more for it. As a reminder, snatching up everything through automation is not "producing a good", it's market interference.
I'm totally with you. Whenever I tried to build anything with Django, I soon went back to Tornado for its glorious simplicity. Being able to quickly see how something is implemented is worth much more to me than any magic I mostly end up fighting. Django just has too much going on with everything being somehow connected to everything else (which is sort of the point). I might agree it's well-engineered, but an example of easy to read code...?
Ask them for their best price. Ask lots of them for their best price. Take the best offer.

You can't get people to sell for less than their reserve price. Negotiation is all about checking multiple sources, and letting them know that you're checking multiple sources, so that a.) you find the supplier with the best reserve price and b.) everyone else isn't tempted to quote you way above their reserve because you don't know what fair value is.

Yeah, I'd agree (with the sibling as well). Obviously native code is faster but Java is about as fast as it gets for a managed language. It's massively fast (these days) in comparison to, say, Ruby. Python manages to do relatively OK by throwing away any sense of threading and the synchronization of internals that might entail but it's still significantly slower than Java.

Speaking of which that's another advantage of Java. Threading works basically as expected, and now it's even got modern promise/future APIs. Python's "just clone all your memory and do everything through IPC" is super clunky in comparison.

In many cases, that's also inherited by other JVM languages, and interop is really cool there too. You can use Java libraries in your Scala/Kotlin/etc, or call those routines from your Java code. It's not just one language, it's all the languages on one engine, and they all run decently fast for what they are.

C#/DotNet is really fast too (I would say faster than Java if anything) and it's pretty similar to Java in most ways. Bytecode, JITed, static typing, etc. They also got the second-mover advantage, to see all the things Java did wrong and fix them - like checked exceptions, or the clone() interface. On the other hand, at least as of 10 years or so ago, the tooling was absolutely primitive compared to what's out there for JVM stuff (and at the time it was all tied to Windows). Maybe that's changed with Roslyn but they're coming from behind, and Java has been around for a long time and it's tough to overcome that inertia.
I agree.

I used to worry more about DRM, at least when it came to books.

These days, it is all about convenience. And the realization that I'm not going to live forever, and how many more times am I really going to read this particular book. Because that's what it is all about. There is some (not large) risk I will loose access to my Amazon account, or Google, or whatever. But for most books, if I get a couple reads out of them, that's practically all the value to be extracted for me.

Because of DRM, there is some small chance that I will loose access to a book that is truly a classic, one that deserves to be read repeatedly. In that case, it is OK to just buy it again in some other format, and give the author a little more money (yes, I know not all of the book's sale price goes to the author in most cases).

Some of my most favorite works I have purchased multiple times, and I don't regret it.

It is the same for games. If you want an exemplary open-world experience, you get a Switch, and buy Breath of the Wild. You then experience it (over months or however long you want to play it) and then it is over. There will probably be something else that will capture your attention next year anyway.

If, ten years from now, you really want to play BotW again, and you don't have a Switch, I'm sure buying a used one would work fine. Or else get the current-gen console, and buy the heavily discounted version on that.

Disclaimer: I am working on a project which does not use hooks (or React or anything like that), but has a fairly complex set of data processing specifications. The project is > 10 years old, the project is a product in the sense that it has direct end users, but a library/framework in the sense that its behavior is also defined by end users (it’s not a UI around arbitrary spreadsheets, but that’s a pretty good common frame of reference). Most of these questions are informed directly by work I’m actively doing, some by past work on distributed systems and UI/UX.

- What about anything computed from the previously fetched data? Will it be computed the same way?

- What about any user-provided state downstream? Will it be preserved? Will it still be valid?

- What about any user-provided state midstream? Even if preserved, will it evaluate the same way after a refetch?

- If you know mid-/downstream user input might be impacted, can you detect that and ensure each case has a desirable outcome, or does this responsibility spread to all of those cases?

- What about inconsistent network connectivity? Will it fall back to the previous state in case of timeouts? Is it even supposed to? (Is the request idempotent? Do you know? Can you know? If it’s not idempotent, will it recover after a timeout once network available resumes?)

- What happens if user/event/timer-caused state changes while the request is in progress? How will computations be reconciled?

- What happens if network-provided data is also supplied by user input from other users? Do you have a reconciliation strategy?

- What happens if this first request triggers N requests? What happens if each of those N requests similarly has to answer all of the above questions?

- What happens if any one of these has a pathological case which causes it to cycle? What if it causes a cycle intermittently?

- What if your user is using the cheapest mobile available and has an expensive data plan?

- What if everything is really fast, actually, and your user has motion sensitivity?

I’m just rattling instinctive thoughts after stumbling on this comment. There are surely more I could come up with if I were actually dealing with concrete problems where unexpected redundant network requests are being evaluated as “is it more than a performance issue?”
The study comes in the context of past findings of serious misconduct against Birbaumer and Chaudhary. The findings concerned the data and analysis in two previous papers published in PLoS Biology. The two articles, subsequently retracted, also concerned the use of brain activity to decode the thoughts of completely locked-in patients. The German research agency, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) found that the scientists failed to show complete analysis of their data and patient examinations in these previous studies and made false statements. The allegations do not relate to the findings of the current research which involved different methodology, supervision and analysis. In a statement to Technology Networks, Birbaumer said that the new study “shows that all accusations are wrong” and suggested that additional forthcoming legal developments would further exonerate his and Chaudhary’s prior research.

man that's a scary last paragraph. Locked-in research is very, very sensitive to this sort of thing, for obvious reasons.

I ride a Tern Link D8. It has 20" rims, usable gears, and a pannier rack. It rides really well for a folding bike and is half decent for transporting a couple of bags of stuff around. Most of the running gear is off-the-shelf Shimano which helps when sourcing spares.

The trade-off is that it's quite big when it's folded and fairly awkward to carry. Unlike some folding bikes, it doesn't wheel when it's folded up so you have to lug around a fairly awkward metal lump when you're not riding it. And it rarely fits under seats on public transport - it can be quite awkward in places.

I've also found it fairly tricky to lock. The narrow gaps between the spokes and the very small triangle in the frame make it hard to pass a serious lock through; I constantly worry about wrecking spokes when I try to lock it up. It lives indoors most of the time so it's not a serious drawback for me but might be something to think about based on your needs.

Overall I've been happy with the good riding, luggage options, and replacement parts story. A good option if the drawbacks don't really hold you back in your day-to-day usage.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_ROM#Programming :

The bit cell is programmed by applying a high-voltage pulse not encountered during a normal operation across the gate and substrate of the thin oxide transistor (around 6 V for a 2 nm thick oxide, or 30 MV/cm) to break down the oxide between gate and substrate. The positive voltage on the transistor's gate forms an inversion channel in the substrate below the gate, causing a tunneling current to flow through the oxide. The current produces additional traps in the oxide, increasing the current through the oxide and ultimately melting the oxide and forming a conductive channel from gate to substrate.

So, basically, they intentionally apply an out-of-spec voltage on the cell's output port, overloading the gate and causing a permanent short to ground. The cell always reads as 0 afterwards.
Except they were buying them for their own use and protecting against supply chain interruptions, not buying them to sell them to other consumers at artificially-inflated rates.

First, I think your points are well made and articulated. I particularly like your term "struggle session".

Second, I think you're missing what Ken called the "First Speaker Problem" (which IMHO is one of the most important parts of Ken's thinking)

> "We want to live in a culture where a joke on the internet doesn't lead to a struggle session at work"

The implication I'm hearing in those word is that the "first speaker" shouldn't be thrust into a struggle session at work for their speech; what I'm not hearing (although your literal words would cover this situation, so maybe I'm mishearing) is consideration into if the joke (or other statement) thrusts someone else into a struggle session at work.

IMHO, to re-use your words; it isn't batshit insane, it isn't gobsmackingly wrong, and it isn't that difficult to understand - whatever principles you want to apply to the responders to the apparent "First Speaker" should also be applied to the "First Speaker" as if they are themselves a responder. (If only because, I'd argue, they are meaningfully actually a responder themselves)

Agree, I figure this is a significant factor.

An anecdote from my studio:
My studio is work for hire with mostly Unity devs. The "big ticket" contracts are in Unreal, so the studio is starting to push for devs to learn Unreal, so we can start landing those contracts. In this case, the publisher perception of Unity/Unreal is creating a business need in our company to move away from Unity and into Unreal.

Many musicians and composers will tell you they are passionate about music because that's how they can communicate their emotions.

For example, Yo-Yo Ma in this interview sort of says that:

So yes, they'll provoke the emotions without seeing the movie, but not necessarily the same ones or intensity due to the context of the movie vs. the kind of person you are.

Games are art: if you disagree, consider that cinema is also art, and that the crassness of Michael Bay-style Hollywood films doesn't invalidate arthouse, the same way that this year's Call of Battlefield doesn't invalidate Papers Please or Monument Valley.

And if games are art, and art defines our culture, then consigning titles to the memory-hole in the name of profitability is immoral, so Nintendo's corporate stance is philistinian.

Respecting copyright is important (the software industry, our livelihoods, is built on copyright - and copyleft - after-all), copyrights aren't indefinite because it would be immoral to deny society creative-works because they're being held-hostage by rightsholders for a licensing ransom. And Nintendo isn't a solo-creator, who might have personal reasons for wanting to retract and un-license their work: their adoption of the Disney Vault strategy is entirely soulless and without merit.

I can't argue that Nintendo should be in any way be compelled build and maintain ports of old games for modern hardware, or even official emulators: doing-so is very expensive, but I do think that Nintendo should be legally restrained from continuing with their usual bully-tactics against people involved in game-preservation.

Every news source that maintains a paywall should get with Apple, Google and maybe Microsoft and Facebook/Meta and set up a syndication arrangement using all of these companies (at a minimum) as access points. Then, offer an "all access pass" where someone can pay, say, $1000 or $2000 a year, access any news article from a participating provider, and never encounter another paywall, anywhere.

Additionally, for $5000/year, access is ad-free.

The universal subscription fee would be divided among the syndicate itself for distribution to its members as well as its access provider. The majority (but not all) of the revenue would be allocated to the members on the basis of how many times their articles were actually read.
