Notepad is absolutely not obsolete. It's far better than a heavy word processor for quickly pasting something into or jotting down a note because it's fast and has hardly any extra interface to get in the way, and has very very little bloat. This is definitely something that authors claim as well, George RR Martin writes on MS DOS because modern word processors have too many bloated features and correct his spelling.
That’s some bullshit reasoning. The risk of pregnancy to the female partner is a clear and obvious externality with the same level of risk.

The pill can wreck women’s hormonal cycles. It’s hardly a given that it will “control” them.
Doesn't this create a new (temporary) array of value `[b,a]`?
That's a very fair point. I think transparency in pricing for medical services would help out a lot with cleaning up the insurance mess. Not that either of us have the answer, have you put in any thoughts on how to eliminate those inefficiencies?
This is really pretty impressive. I think Copilot for these kinds of one-off analysis tasks where specific data manipulation rather than structuring abstractions makes a lot more sense. Structuring libraries or building UI requires a lot more understanding of potential users - in that case, writing the requirements is honestly the harder part.
If you want to go the Japanese liberal zoning route, simply redefine a one bedroom apartment as a 2.5 tatami sized micro dwelling without central heating and maybe a shared bathroom (or maybe no shower in building at all). Western standards on viable housing are a bit more generous than other countries.
Don't get me started on the loans either -- sometimes those incentives aren't just incentives, but necessary outcomes given your financial state exiting med school. I know folks who emerged from residency (where they moonlighted too!) with 500 credit scores and debt that can be described as multiple new Ferraris. They'd laugh at the idea of anything but practice
As someone who zooms in on 80% of websites, <100% width is infuriating.
I actually wrote an article about this a couple weeks ago. https://maximumeffort.substack.com/p/is-a-hot-dog-a-sandwich...

My contention is that the definition-first approach to defining sandwich is wrong, and that we should use PCA/unsupervised learning first to cluster sandwich-like objects into distinctive groups, which we can then name.
The argument as I understand it is: Basic Alice streams the top 40 for 9 hours and pays $5, and Hipster Bob streams a band you haven't heard of for 1 hour and pays $5. Band you haven't heard of was responsible for $5 of revenue, but they only get $1 because they were only responsible for 1/10th of the streaming time.
Google still says N Macedonia manager is Igor Angelovski, not Blagoja Milevksi
Recent posts criticized Google search results on quality and excessive advertising, but here's an outright error:

Blagoja Milevski has been head coach of the North Macedonian national team since Aug 1 2021, replaced Igor Angelovski. But Googling for "N Macedonia manager" still returns #1 hit and infobox for Igor Angelovski.
Admittedly Wikipedia and many other sites have not properly tracked this, although:

the official site https://ffm.mk/en/a-national-team/coaching-staff and

Wikiwand https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Category:North_Macedonia_national_football_team_managers have.
This is true in any field. Many publications are trash. It takes a lot of experience to be able to tell apart bad science from good science in a specific field.

Every PhD knows how to read literature. But throw them outside their narrow line of expertise, and they will not be able to tell apart a good from a bad paper. It's the same reason you cannot trust your FB Karen who found a publication that supports her conspiracy theory.

So yes your wife is right in looking for the most experienced person in the field for an opinion.

> The only way you keep this person's wage down is increase supply - have lots of people with university degrees.

Again, the second part of this statement does not necessarily follow from the first. There are countless ways of tweak supply/demand of McJobs, such as low minimum wages resulting in a glut of retail locations , changing total hours non-degreed workers (read high-schoolers) can work, adjusting rules on temp workers, community college intakes, etc.

There a many variables, and increasing minimum wage impacting a subset of (mostly unskilled[0]) workers doesn't automatically mean an increase in income for skilled jobs.

0. I dislike the term, but it conveys my intended meaning. "Jobs that require no prior training" is unwieldy.

Has anyone else developed caffeine addiction from a daily coffee habit?

I used to drink one cup in the morning every day. However, after a couple years of this, I started experiencing lethargy and mood depression which would both be temporarily alleviated with the morning coffee.

Then my girlfriend at the time surreptitiously replaced my coffee grinds with decaffeinated ones. After a week of headaches and cold-like symptoms, I returned to "baseline normal".

These days I cannot have even small amounts of caffeine without the next day turning into a blur of mental fog and apathy.

Am I just extraordinarily sensitive, or is this a thing?
It at least changes the cost dynamics away from the companies just shafting users because only the users wear cost.

Clearly companies are en masse externalizing the costs of support onto users, and plainly not supporting users in fixing real problems with systems that are now required to live in society. It's at the stage where it's breaking our well functioning civil society and turning the first world into a third world kafkaesque dystopia.

I believe this is an economic race to the bottom and regulation is the answer to fixing it.

Here's the basis of an idea for how to fix the power dynamics so the market works properly

1) an ombusdman that can fine companies for user abuse of wasting user time, and redistribute the fine to the users
2) regulations of how long a company can on average keep users on hold, such as no more than 10 minutes to speak to a human, otherwise the speak to a human option is useless as the company makes it take longer than the median user can afford
3) regulations of threshold of acceptable customer complaints against a company, otherwise the company will make the service operators unable to actually fix anything as you note
4) a process with the ombusdman where when the number of complaints exceeds a threshold the company is fined and the fine distributed amongst the complaining users
5) some sanity check here to prevent user abuse, such as checking the average wait times, and confirming the customer service actually never fixes issues from a number of tests. The tests could be made in collaboration with a subset complaining customers.

Halves the cost provided that touching that many cache lines is free. Even after you rewrite them back to how they were, the cache doesn't know, so has to write back every line.

If it's a balanced tree, you need only log(n) stack entries you can statically provision, and then other threads can traverse the tree at the same time.

Most of the traditional optimizations turned into pessimizations decades back. That has been a good thing.
What is the reason for everything having flat UIs now?
In my (admitedly idealistic view) research is something that a society should fund without the expectation of it always returning a ROI. I dont know what the minimum level of monetary support should be and am aware that it could lead to bad actors. But I dont think capitalism should be the primary motivator for deciding what path research should take. We can always research things in parallel. One might even help the other. But we wont know unless we try it
Nope.

Nor is buying a bunch of stuff at the store that you don’t need just because it’s 35% off retail price “saving money”.

Cash flow positive is not losing money slower, it’s making more than you spend. Carbon negative absorbs more carbon than you spend. Including in chopping up an old road and recycling it, which is going to take a lot of power.

If I had a box that you plugged in that was actually carbon negative and I forgot I left it running while I was on vacation, I would not feel guilty. If doing nothing results in less carbon emissions than doing something, it’s not negative.
Profit and a chance of safety
This was my first reaction as well. I think the subtext is that the byproduct is currently being burned as a fuel source, which is common for things like sawdust in mills. So there's one aspect of this calculation that could be waaay off. If the mills that would have burned this byproduct in a boiler are selling it instead, they'll need another energy source for their boilers! If that energy source is a fossil fuel instead of a wood byproduct, then this "upcycling" has inadvertently become carbon positive (or perhaps neutral at best). And it will be a lot easier to retrofit an industrial boiler for natural gas than to convert it to electric. Even if it were electric, most of the world does not remotely have as clean a grid as Norway's. So it would be some decades before any carbon advantage emerges.

Wow... This level of backward compatibility + dedication to support (even if for that rare case) reminds me of the good old days of Windows!
we started using Full Story at work. It tracks clicks on non clickable items. It is staggering that this is even a problem. Having to explain to people that links and buttons and radio boxes and checkboxes should look uniform has gone the way of the dodo and now we must instead have people clicking random items to hope something happens.

Better yet, you can just have the government build the housing.

The state has all the information it needs, and anything it doesn't have it can find out by mandating businesses comply. It then figures out exactly the housing needs in a given location and build that housing. It doesn't need to be fancy and wasteful like the private market tends to build. It's meant to just house people efficiently. It would be a lot cheaper than current options and we can be sure there's enough supply. It could distribute the housing based on needs. Family of 4 gets a bigger apartment than a single person.

What could go wrong?
>but not with the many safe, effective vaccines and medications we all benefit from throughout our lives.

Because mRNA is a novel technology and that people obliviously make this argument is a testament to the effectiveness of the "safe and effective" propaganda.

>Have you always felt this way about the medical profession? Have you any specific reasons to doubt the medical profession and it’s institutions, across many nations and accreditation agencies, now in particular?

There were numerous reasons to be skeptical before covid - regulatory capture and the replication crisis in particular. Suddenly bringing these up gets you branded an anti-vaxxer. Wr shouldn't be blindly trusting our modern institution, it has strayed increasingly far from clean science over the years, now you have influences from industry and unrelated politics, in addition to the pressures that come with sticking close enough to orthodoxy to maintain a career and receive funding for grants.

When I was younger I also had much more trust in our institutions, but with age and experience I have grown to recognize how imperfect they are, and none of those imperfections disappeared when the president decided he wanted a new vaccine yesterday; in fact many of those problems were enormously amplified.
If it does, that was optimal. If it doesn't, that was optimal.

Outsmarting your optimizer is harder than that nowadays.
They don’t want to cannibalize the other product markets. Canon for example was caught up with the video features that they added to the 5d back in the day. it sparked a video revolution, but destroyed their camcorder sector. same thing again when they released “cinema” specd cameras, that really just had different firmware than the photography cameras, but priced much higher.
Because windows users don’t buy desktop apps. If you want to develop a desktop app you need to develop it for MacOS.

As someone who born in the smartphone era, I don't found it ugly but a major design improvement.

Maybe the author should embrace the latest trends in UI design, instead of insisting the old way.
Not all business models are legal, nor should they be. All businesses must plan for and absorb the costs associated with complying with applicable regulations. I fully support the idea of requiring businesses to provide support channels for issues that are important to society. I'm looking at you Google: I should be able to call and report the ad you just served up to my elderly father for a phishing website for a completely innocuous web search, and Google should have to take appropriate actions since it's virtually impossible to do that today. Business models that cause harm to society deserve to be regulated.
The problem is companies compete and the ones that reduce their costs for support drive the other ones out of business.

This has evolved to the stage where it's endemic in what used to be well functioning societies, that day to day civic economic interactions are now broken, which is what the posted talked about.

The answer is regulating to avoid this race to the buttom.
This.

Though the risk of the channel being the victim of a Google ban-hammer goes up given more contributors. Assuming some incident in which Google's response is warranted, they won't care if told that it was one "bad apple". Chances are they'll hit the channel (and in typical megacorp automated governance mode, not hit that "bad apple" user/contributor).

If Google were smart, they'd see this as an opportunity to "do better" and facilitate these kind of co-ops, with appropriate technical, financial and governance support.
I found this article to be superior.

Notably this team is not using a hormonal approach, but is targeting a protein to induce temporary sterility. This seems pretty good at first glance. A hormonal approach for men would probably go very poorly.

p.s. on the registration form, my brain expected "username, email, password" and not "username, password, email"; might just be me but, IDK, maybe A/B test that (and make sure you're not logging "email addresses" for new accounts anywhere, because a sufficiently distracted person will inevitably put a password in the email box.)
Breeze is being ported to Qt 6, and from the screenshots I see (https://www.volkerkrause.eu/2022/01/15/kf6-continuous-integr..., unsure what others), there are no visual changes so far. Time will tell if they change Breeze's appearance further before/after Plasma 6's release (I didn't ask about KDE's current plans). One possibility is O2 (https://pinheiro-kde.blogspot.com/), a reworked theme by the author of KDE 4's Oxygen, though it's not very far into implementation yet.
> If you dont change any of this, a new "affordable 1br apartment will probably cost 700K.

There are places in California where you can get a single family home, let alone a 1br apartment, for around $200k. Let’s not kid ourselves and substitute California for when we really mean LA or the Bay Area (places where people want to live, as opposed to susanville, where most people don’t want to live).
We are not discussing restricting human reproduction. Keeping low density strictly ensures humans spread wider and live with larger environmental footprint to appease those averse to change in a futile attempt to hold on to the past.

To make your proposal more reality-compatible, “people should be comfortable when a region has to grow”. This means people’s attitudes as well as infrastructure’s capability to handle increased number of people.

> Because it's a systematic force affecting any and all content creators on YouTube.

It’s a systematic force for creators across all platforms, with or without YouTube. People make content on the internet and compete for attention. Google didn’t invent market competition.

It doesn’t make sense for you to blame Google for new creators making new videos.

> Both the first person, and the person replacing them, would be under the same pressures.

To compete for viewers? Again, how is this Google’s fault?

I have no idea what you actually expect Google to do.

Limit new creators so the old creators don’t feel competitive pressure?

Hide content from new creators so old creators don’t have to compete with it?

I think you’re angry at the fact that competition exists in the free market, but you’re laying the blame at Google’s feet instead.
Which is insane because even back in KDE 3.5 days, and Trinity following that, the support for complex user environments, security features, using any type of remote storage natively through the KIO subsystem, really good support for LDAP and AD and other things... it seemed like a natural fit for a more complex corporate environment. Especially tools like Konqueror and Kmail, both of which to me follow a natural progression out of the windows of the late 90's era, had really good usability and made sense fairly quickly to windows users.
Dropbox desktop app is written in QT, at least on Windows and Linux. Mac uses its own custom UI to better fit with the Mac-app world.
Apart from the argument of different expectations discussed in the sibling comment, there is the fact that those behemoth apps you use are largely not developed with modern toolkits. Most of them are 30-year-old piles of C++ hacks, built to work on operating systems that don't even exist anymore and badly patched, year after year, to keep up with OS vendors' agendas. Unsurprisingly, they screw up from time to time.

The funny thing is that, despite thall this, often those piles of hacks are still compared favourably with Electron apps and browser-based apps.
You are absolutely correct and you have discovered Rice's Theorem [1]. The fact that you generalized the halting problem on your own is a very good indication that you fundamentally understand it.

Retirement income can't support high annual tax burden unless you're at the upper end of annual social security benefits and have a significant asset base (whether that's capital market investments or real estate rentals/commercial real estate throwing off passive income).

It's why people accumulate wealth in high cost of living areas (typically, where wages are higher), and retire/move to low cost of living areas (pre remote work normalization). High taxes are drag on quality of life when you're on a fixed income and you’re not dependent on services high taxes would provide.
I keep wondering how long it will take for putting borders and edges or some graphical hint around functional UI elements (whether 3d or not) to come back into style. It's such a clear example of form over function to remove these (and if you ask me it doesn't even look good anyway, but let's put aesthetics aside).

I would love to hear from any actual UX professional who wants to try to defend that making functional elements look identical to non-functional ones is a good idea. I would be fascinated to hear what the argument in its favor could possibly be.
There is a key word of structural. Mashed potatoes don't really have a supporting structure.
That's clever, but I would be hesitant to join such a co-op because you also share strike count with the others, and if another creator gets your channel banned for wondering about the lab leak theory (back when that was still verboten) you are screwed.

Also I would make sure it's not against the terms of service somehow.
What's also good, is windows/super key and dragging right mouse button -> resize window.

Except the current use of the byproduct is not just flaring it off pointlessly as waste. The byproduct is being burned as a fuel, which in that usage is already (nearly) neutral. If an alternative fuel has to be used instead, that fuel is more than likely going to be natural gas or coal.
