Not really seeing it, the switch is targeting and reaching a lot of people who won't buy Playstations. A next-gen Switch with better performance wouldn't need to compete head-to-head with the Playstation on visuals either to be successful. (Given you rank Switch below PS3, if visuals were so important, shouldn't Switch have been handily beaten even by the PS4?)
They do if their URL is misleading or is otherwise disguised. Also, it is common to click links without knowing ahead of time what the full content of the page is. That may not be ideal, but this is what it is. Ad blockers give users a layer of protection against malicious, lazy, or overeager websites. You seem to suggest users should just take it all or not visit, but that seems to only make sense if links advertised what users would be getting into (ex: visit this link and let us cryptomine you for content!"). Maybe that would be better and more honest, though I don't see how it would work with how people use the web today.
> I hate, hate, hate the way corps try to brush away any unpleasantness like ignoring it means it didn't happen!

I personally don't mind it. It's a good reminder that we as individuals are just replaceable cogs in the machine, that all of us are only as valuable as the productivity we can contribute in the future, and that our sense of loyalty to it should be adjusted accordingly.

Don't ever expect a corporation of any kind to act like a human or a family, because it's not, even if they try to put on a humanoid face.

Having said that, I expect more corporations will start trying to act more humanely in the face of this kind of trauma, precisely because those that don't will engender a sense of deep distrust and disloyalty from their employees, which will make them weaker in the long run. The more generations of people go through the machine and see how it really works, and teach their children the truth, the less they'll be able to take advantage of naivety. This also tends to be a reason that the powers that be want tighter control on social media, so people can't as easily share widely the truth of their lived experience that will preemptively poison the trust of others towards machines designed to use and discard people.

I don't understand what one could mean by the true marginal distribution of a latent quantity that's only defined in terms of its joint distribution with measurements. What difference would it make if we transformed IQ scores to a skewed distribution?

To give an uncontroversial example, we use logarithmic scales for earthquakes precisely because the underlying phenomenon is heavy-tailed. It's just for convenience, it doesn't imply anything about the phenomenon being quantified.

Uhh. The ARM-based M1 Mac mini is literally sold at Best Buy for under $700.

It will run circles around any desktop PC within the same price range.

And yes, the Raspberry Pi 4/400 is perfectly usable for general desktop computing for students. The default desktop OS is intuitive and it includes modern browsers, can watch Netflix/Disney+ DRM media, and run LibreOffice or WPS Office.

Similarly, the Pine64 Pinebook Pro is actually quite serviceable for general desktop use at < $250, but you can also buy a $999 M1 MacBook Air at Best Buy if your needs cannot be satisfied by sub $250 computers.

Changing attributes of UI elements defined in code vs some XML format is in my mind the same level of effort.

button.SetBackground(<color>)

or

<button backgroundColor="<color>" />

I see no difference there.

EDIT: Ok the main difference I guess would be having to switch files (and thus context) which could be annoying. Plus there's also the non-zero performance impact from having to parse an XML format.

We've kept age filtering in mind even before we launched but haven't been able to prioritize it yet even though we agree and want to support it. But we hadn't thought of allowing a guardian to select the things a kid can read which is a wonderful idea! We'll keep that one in mind when we get around to age and content filtering.
As an hourly employee they legally have to be. If the company doesn't, they're in for a world of hurt if the employee decides to contact a lawyer. That assumes a level of privilege (knowing your rights, having enough money to pay for a lawyer's initial time, etc), but that level of privilege is common in software, so much so that no company with a legal department is going to let it fly to try and treat an hourly employee like a salaried one; there's just too much risk.
As someone who has experienced a lot depression myself and with family, I think the chemical/body mechanism is grossly overstated.

It is a mind problem, but that makes it harder, not easier to address. The only real solution IS "happy, not depressed", but it is terribly difficult to do if you have poor tools and learned patterns.

Medicine can help break up patterns.
Thanks for the question. I’m going to interpret this broadly and try to go from there, but let me know if you had something more specific in mind.

TL;DR At a high level, for people who complete our interventions, we see 71% feel more hopeful, 42% feel better about their bodies, and 67% feel less self-hatred. Completion rates range from 25-55%. Outcomes would most likely be lower for those who dropout prematurely.

More specifically:

We track multiple outcomes, depending on what the user may be presenting. If they are experiencing suicidal thoughts, we track conversion to crisis lines.

See here: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-14424-004

We follow-up 5hrs later and ask general questions about their experience with the life line.

If they are experiencing self harm, in addition to crisis lines, we offer them a single-session online intervention on managing sh. For that, we see significant improvements pre vs post on measures like “self-hatred”, and “desire to stop selfharm”, with medium effect sizes (.4-.8 cohen’s d). Very hard to show enduring effects for this, however. This research, as well as our work on disordered eating, is still in prep.

Ah so 2008. Was not caused by rampant fraud in banking, its just that many people bought bad products. In fact that explains away any injustice that ever happened!
The original PalmOS did this from the beginning, with the main difference being that memory was all RAM instead of non-volitile. Apps existed in one part of memory, and data in another. Data storage didn’t use files, but databases and memory segments. Anyone trying to solve this problem today could learn from that system.

And yes, if your battery died, you lost everything. Palm devices were designed to by synced to PCs at least daily, so you’d just restore by syncing again.
There's also a lot more content released and available on DVD than is available on streaming platforms.

To expand, there is also tons more content only available on VHS than other formats. Straight-to-video was all the rage in the 80s/90s. Mind, that it's not necessarily good content.
Thanks, looks like it has some similarities with make, however doesn't skip things already built.

My father in law is 59.
He works as the main "maintenance guy" for a large warehouse. He's pretty good with electronics and mechanics, but did not know how to program. He noticed that some stuff could be automated but PLC's were not enough. So, he bought an Arduino board and learnt by himself. Of course, me being a software engineer helped and I put him on the right track or helped him debug stuff.
He actually got a pretty nice bonus because the stuff he automated saved the company a lot of money.

But the main point I'm trying to make, is that I would find a problem in my current job/field to which programming can help, and use that to drive the learning.
In my experience it depends how you use VSCode. For one project (and only a few well behaved extensions), even if it’s quite large, it can perform very well. Working in multiple projects the proscribed way (workspaces) comes with a variety of caveats. Multiple windows can increase CPU and RAM load pretty fast.

On Android it specifically refers to installing something on your phone via your computer with the adb sideload command. If you just download and install an apk on the phone itself, it's not sideloading. For this reason it wouldn't make sense to use the term for installing anything on a PC.

Python was pragmatic and adopted changes that numpy needed and advocated for. Maybe Julia is the only other worthy comparison?

Also, dynamic typing is a boon - and default & keyword arguments is a great feature for complicated, versatile, useful algorithm implementations and interfaces to them. Both of these features have a cost in bigger programs, but they really make Python stand out.

> Second, after reading this why do this? The only reason businesses can get truckers is that there are willing truckers to do it. Why not just quit?

Part of it is because a lot of truckers are owner-operators that have a lot of money in their trucks. They are effectively employees, not real contractors, and all the pricing power goes to the company that hires them but if they quit it means bankruptcy.
That’s a good point. I’ll try out the VM route and see how that goes. I mainly just want to tile the web browser, some docs, a terminal emulator and vim/IDE and be able to switch between layouts and apps seamlessly and VM does seem like a good option. Kinda sad that macOS WM is a joke to do all this compared to some of the TWMs out there.
We had an outside facilitator oversee and guide a remote memorial service for a fellow engineer lost to COVID. I would suggest this approach. Their job seemed very difficult, but it was very important and useful to recognize the person lost and share our experiences.

I had someone I knew from two consecutive jobs commit suicide. We'd routinely cross paths through meetings, water cooler chats etc. Nice guy, smart engineer. Capable of handling stressful incidents without batting an eyelid and spotting the shorted path to the best resolution. The kind of engineer you'd be lucky to have on your service team.

He grabbed me for a lunch time meal about a week before he committed suicide, wanted to chat about my faith. These conversations happen from time to time, especially working in tech which seems to bias towards atheism, so I didn't think anything of it. It was a type of conversation I've had dozens of times over.

In hindsight, of course, it was obvious he was looking for help. I can rationally tell myself over and over again that there was no possible way I could have known, but I highly doubt I'll ever convince myself of it.
The article has a lot of reflection about how impersonal their workplace is but it stops short of discussing the impersonal nature of working with people you don't even see or share the same physical space with. The neglected mental health aspects of that sort of environment are obvious for anyone who cares to look.

> 1 - systemd (which is moving linux towards becoming a systemd OS)

Or, a microservices OS.
I think that, while the idea is solid (Unix is poorly-designed and we should have better) some of the specific ideas mentioned are lacking:

> Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of.

No! Bad! We have enough problems securing software on separate VMs running on the same metal, single address spaces are completely out of the question until someone manages to build a feasible trusted compiler system.

> Then we add a gazillion programming languages, VMs, Containers, and a million other things, UNIX is a bloated mess of workaround for its own problems.

A lot of these problems could happen with a Lisp machine - you could have a billion different Lisps, for instance (although, to be fair, with better (i.e. non-Unix) OS design you wouldn't need containers).

> With lisp machines, we can cut out the complicated multi-language, multi library mess from the stack, eliminate memory leaks and questions of type safety, binary exploits, and millions of lines of sheer complexity that clog up modern computers.

This is partially true, but a lot of the complexity in modern software doesn't come from Unix, but just...bad design decisions. Webtech doesn't really care whether it's running on Windows or Unix, after all.

Also, high-level CPUs are a bad idea: http://yosefk.com/blog/the-high-level-cpu-challenge.html

I think the good in this post is along the lines of: text bad, typed IPC good, runtime-aware OS good, standardized VMs good, interactive systems (Lispy stuff, Jupyter) > batch-processing systems (Unix, C).

Raspberry Pi 4 is not going to be 5 times slower than your 10 year old laptop, unless it was really specced out. IIRC, RPi 4 is about as fast as Core 2 Duo.
At those rates I could just serve tables at AppleBees

I've worked in a restaurant and worked in construction, (didn't drive a truck, but I rode along with the truckers to haul equipment).

If I had to choose between working at Applebees or driving a truck, I'd definitely pick the truck.
Perl was my horse in the race. I attribute it's, lisp's, ruby's, etc loss to
1. "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it" being part of python's ethos.
2. ipython repl

1. pairs with jaimebuelta's artistic vs engineering dichotomy, but also plays into the scientist wearing many more hats than just programmer. Code can be two or more degrees removed from the published paper -- code isn't the passion. There isn't reason, time, or motivation to think deeply about syntax.

2. For a lot of academic work, the programming language is primarily an interface to an advanced plotting calculator. Or at least that's how I think about the popularity of SPSS and Stata. Ipython and then jupyter made this easy for python.

For what it's worth, the lab I work for is mostly using shell, R, matlab, and tiny bit of python. For numerical analysis, I like R the best. It has a leg up on the interactive interface and feels more flexible than the other two. R also has better stats libraries. But when we need to interact with external services or file formats, python is the place to look (why PyPI beat out CPAN is similar question).

Total aside: Perl's built in regexp syntax is amazing and a thing I reach for often, but regular expressions as a DSL are supported almost everywhere (like using languages other than shell to launch programs and pipes -- totally fine but misses all the ergonomics of using the right tool for the job). It'd love to explore APL as an analogous numerical DSL across scripting languages. APL.jl [0] and, less practically april[1], are exciting.

Red Hat was early enough in the fiat monetary ponzi scheme to be able to benefit from its network effects. Nowadays, projects cannot get any traction at all without a blockchain token to incentivize collaboration and create shared financial interests around that project.

Nobody cares about features or quality anymore, it's all about financial schemes; you need to create financial incentives for adoption of the product. The product is secondary, the financial scheme is primary. How do you think SaaS companies manage to convince big corporations to pay to use their services? Kickbacks to corporate employees!!! It's all corrupt. The good thing about crypto is that it's more hidden and it allow the provider to keep their hands clean. The employees of the corporations can buy the token themselves to profit from their own corruption so it's not direct like a kickback and only the employee of the corporation is to blame, not the SaaS provider.

It allows the provider to participate in the corrupt modern economic system whilst not actively bribing people. It allows corporate insiders to bribe themselves without implicating the provider. This effect is already commonplace among big corporations; politicians buy corporate stocks and then pass laws to benefit the companies whose stocks they bought... Crypto just levels the playing field by allowing small players to also participate in this scheme.
Sorry, are you saying that signing up for a service using e.g. temporaryaccount123@gmail.com is illegal? I doubt there is any contractual language that could mandate you to use a personally-identifiable email address.
I was a contractor in corporate America for a while and experienced the same thing. The way it was explained to me was that you cannot give contractors the same "benefits" is a regular employee. If you do, then you have to treat them as employees, which means you have to offer the same healthcare, PTO structure, etc.

I don't think the rules around the "benefits" were especially clear from a legal standpoint. Therefor the company would always err on the side of caution. If some auditor somewhere could perceive an action or event as employee specific and a contractor took part then the company could be penalized for it. In my case, it was pretty standard things like in-office birthday parties and monthly staff meetings.

It's not right, but I can understand why it happens. The legal team in a big corporation is extremely risk averse.

> Also there doesn't exist a world where grandma (or even the Kool kids today) is going to learn smalltalk in order to use an OS.

I'd agree that well-designed operating systems shouldn't require anyone to undestand programming to begin to use them, but equally I'd argue that anyone should be able to look at the code that's running on their computer and inspect it. It's one way (often a very effective way) to learn about software in the first place.

The technology landscape will no doubt look very different in another twenty years, and while it's relatively well-understood that anyone can contribute to FOSS projects regardless of age or experience, it's worth improving that opportunity when possible (both technically and socially).

There's some kind of analogy with web development here; the ability to view source for webpages and tinker with the HTML/CSS/JS easily is an educational pathway.

> The first step I see in all of this is creating an operating system where the kernel has no concept of being booted.

If both the operating system and network card are safe to initialize from cold at any point (and with robust software and protocol design, they should be), then even with peer-to-peer commodity memory as a storage medium, statelessness should be perfectly achievable, I think?

Protestations would be simply drowned in blood. See how Ukraine is doing against Putin's machine - and they have weapons, Javelins, Bayraktars, tanks, and big support of the West, including asylum for non-combatants.

I would argue that Sweden is not collectivistic at all.

In the golden years of the Folkhem (the people's home) Sweden was collectivistic to a larger extent, but because of the massive increase of living standards, a huge middle class emerged.

Core beliefs of the middle class is typically high individualism and materialism which usually translates to some form of liberalism.

Many, especially on the right, makes the mistake to equate high taxes with collectivism, but that is not necessarily the case, because it depends on how the taxes are collected and what the taxes are used for.

Today the Swedish's left argument for high taxes is to increase individual freedom, not collective freedom. The Swedish's right argument for low taxes is to increase individual freedom, not collective freedom, thus both the left and the right in Sweden is ruled by the same middle class and every big topic in Sweden since the at least 20 years has been of a middle class perspective.

Reducing society to high vs low taxes is one of the most extreme forms of individualism you can have.

The main problem with Unix right now is security / permission control. Unix was built from the perspective that users potentially don't trust each other, but users all magically trust the applications that are run. In the age of the internet, this doesn't hold anymore, and we need strong permission control.
