There is no misunderstanding on my part.

I never consented to this culture. I see little different here than a church, meat based tape recorders thinking the noises they emit are “the way” with little proof except “feudal capitalism” continues to “work”.

We don’t owe deference and agency to CEOs, VCs, and founders. The syntax is different but the LARP of being sheep for “wise men” is the same.

Only 13% of the country has an advanced degree (mine is MSc in math earned in the 90s; I’m old) and knowledge is not locked away in those heads. Education does not make people infallible and omniscient.

This is a result of traditional political memes; owners rule, everyone else drools. The filtering and sorting inside that cognitive bubble is just the proles making proles dance like jesters. No scientific theory makes this the one true way of organizing effort.

Memorizing semantics is not proof they’re correct. If GME can be shorted to the extent it is despite that being illegal, our institutions are built on deference to BS, since that system is the bedrock used to prop up tech VCs.

> And mysteriously your only argument is a talking point about how his removal wasn't democratic

It's written on the Wiki page you linked. Don't you think it would be better if it wasn't written there? Don't you think you'd have an easier time afterwards if there were no doubts about constitutionality?

Can't you just say that "yes, it would have been easier to counter Russian propaganda if there were no doubts like this, but we had no other choice" and move on? Or, if you believe that doing things in a way that cast doubts on the constitutionality of the process was not a mistake and helped you, can't you explain to me how did it help you or your cause?

Yeah, it's a "talking point" for Russia. You gave them that talking point on a silver platter. In my opinion, you've made a strategic mistake at the time. That's all. I'm not talking about anything before or after that point. I'm not judging, I'm not supporting, and I'm not condemning. I'm trying to give you an impartial perspective on the specific point in time, based on the description you yourself linked.

I see that you're not interested in such a perspective. You want unconditional support and praises for everything you did. However, I'm not interested in that. Being on the same side - having a common enemy in Russia - doesn't mean we have to agree with everything you did and how you did it. You will have my support because Russia is a threat to me, too. To get my sympathy, however, you'll need to be able to rationally talk about the less glorious events in history and in recent memory, too. Assuming that just because I criticize some development it must mean that I'm on Moscow's payroll is honestly insulting, and doesn't help any.

I think the criticism was that the author of the article was more interested in "being an entrepreneur" than in offering something they want and need. In this case in particular, offering people a way to automate away things they do for fun seems to be basically the opposite of what they want and need.
...and that never made any sense to me. Because you don't pronounce "sed" as "ess-ee-dee". So if you pronounce "sed" as "said", you must surely pronounce "ed" as "ed".

It isn’t, by any means, but it’s almost as concentrated in fashion as it is in gambling - you tend to have a fatter long tail and smaller ramp for other verticals. Shoes are the most “Pareto” category in consumer goods that I’ve seen. There are entire brands being propped up by a hard core who spend tens of thousands a year each on shoes.

> That stuff is not the way you become powerful, it's a perk of power to be enjoyed.

Well, I don't know. I partly agree. First of all, I don't think it's a "perk" that people who did not have that kind of personality in the first place would like to enjoy. I also think that there's an inverted funnel of empathy when it comes to people in leadership positions, because the larger a group becomes, the more beneficial "maneuvering" becomes and the less beneficial "classic" emphatic traits becomes that would make you likable in a smaller group.

> the people just arrived at their positions of power via their parents, their background, and their connections, not through shrewd Machiavellian manoeuvring.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that anyone that grew up with "powerful" parents will have a pretty Machiavellian personality by default just based on the context they grew up in, so even if they get the position completely on the merits of nepotism I think it's pretty unlikely they will be very empathetic and "bleeding heart" kind of people. There are scientific studies for example that show that empathy decreases with material wealth.[1]

Understanding of technology necessary to self-host a blog (whether it’s a hobby or you’re writing full-time) is not that different from, say, knowing enough about how various components of a motorcycle work to maintain and repair your own ride (whether it’s a hobby or you do pizza delivery full-time). To deem it of no possible interest to and too difficult to understand for anyone not in the chosen minority of experienced software engineers is at best misguided, at worst elitist (when it comes from one).

Sure, some can’t be bothered. Yes, some would rather pay a professional who often (notably, not always) would do a better job. True, some things you fully grasp only after years of experience. Still, it’s not that difficult. You don’t need to know how to write an OS or build an ICE from scratch to do an adequate job. People routinely learn to do quite complicated things out of passion and/or necessity even when it’s far disconnected from their primary profession; spend some time with the right sources of information and you’ll be alright.
After a long journey jumping around I’ve recently started writing plain HTML files in GitHub Pages with a custom domain and I have been loving it.

I’ve been on WordPress, Blogger, Medium, a custom Vue site, a custom Go server, a Raspberry Pi, the works. Each was either a platform that could rot, or a hobby that could distract me from writing. Raw HTML on GitHub Pages has solved both these problems for me.
I'm also VERY worried about that. My company was just about to use wordpress.com as well, but this limit is insane if true, and means there's no possible way we could even consider using wordpress.com for our company blog. Like you, I have written blog posts that have exceeded 50K visits for one post, and two such posts would exceed that limit. I've done that several times, and it would be crazy to suddenly have a blog hosting platform block viewing of a blog post that turns out to be super popular. For us, it would be fine if they just charge a little more, rather than blocking viewers. However, the fact that they don't say what they will do is a deal breaker.

Edit: I see the CEO has posted elsewhere to address this -- "Traffic limits will only be enforced on the honor system. If you consistently go over the cap month after month, we will let you know and ask you to pay a tiny bit more to cover the cost, but we will NEVER shut off access to your site, nor will we ever auto-increase the amount you're paying."
One key element in the corporate world related to apology and real benefits of not apologizing is liability. Admissions of wrong-doing open corporations to large settlements so they tend to avoid such apologies. Apologizing over an accident where malicious intent was not involved is another matter.

As a good example, subprime fraud settlements related to the 2008-2009 economic collapse were held up over corporate refusals to admit wrongdoing. Their motivation was clearly protecting their bottom line (avoiding larger settlements) and/or avoiding criminal prosecution.

https://www.jonesday.com/en/insights/2013/11/admissions-of-w...

If there are real consequences to apologizing for ones actions, such as having to pay a settlement, lose a job, serve time in jail etc., then it's obvious some people will not want to apologize. In contrast, if it's something like apologizing for being late to a meeting, that's just simple politeness. However, if a person or corporation repeats a pattern of behavior like that without changing that behavior but apologizes all the time for it, that can get pretty annoying, apologies or not.
This can also be learned later in life. As a teen I didn’t help much or complained and expected compensation for chores. When I joined the army you were expected to always pitch in, and there were no janitors, so you’re always cleaning and maintaining things yourself. Fast forward 25 years and I’ll be the first to volunteer to do dishes, will see a floor or vacuum without asking, and always willing to pitch in on a hard, physical task without hesitation.
This means one would read it as tasteful in another context, and is so biased to move the goal post when suggested so.
Reading articles like this makes me wish I'd pursued a degree. Simply because without a degree, there is no path to a PhD or any postgrad research. Not that those are currently on my radar, but maybe when I'm in my 50s I'll regret not having the option.
I'm always glad to learn that I was very moral all along about something. In this case, my 10 year old, falling-apart sweatshirt that I wear every day is real, real virtuous. (I kind of suspected it all along, to be sure.)

So…because he colors outside of the “established” lines it’s selfish? Honestly, this expectation for partisan political orthodoxy from people representing specific groups is so scary.

That really needs to be transparent. Right after Vimeo's mess with this is a bad time to introduce vague language around this, and people will assume you mean "force upgrade to thousands-of-dollars enterprise plan".

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. For most apps, it's fairly easy to keep writes short, so SQLite is a great fit.

And if it wasn't for the NATO you hate so much, those same Russians would be doing this to you and your people, maybe for generations already.

I have just one last word of advice. I'm sure your views are fine in Italy, but keep them to yourself in Eastern Europe or other places where people have personal experience with Russia. Saying what you're saying out loud around people who lost friends and family to Russia would get you hurt.

Psychological and sociological effects of heat wave
The assumption here is that housing can't be affordable by nature, but has to be made affordable by government intervention. Is that the case? Would it be possible to build an apartment building that simply will be affordable, without the government giving the developer a pile of other people's money?

I also wonder about the incentive that's created when artificially affordable housing is provided in an area that's expensive because of high demand: doesn't that prevent a shortage of low-skill labor that would otherwise be a limiting factor in that demand? That is, if it's too expensive for many people who might work low-paying service and manual jobs to live nearby, the rising cost of that sort of labor might begin to lessen other people's desire to live there and businesses' desire to locate there, mitigating the housing problem.
No, the memory cells lose charge over time. Even one year can cause data loss. Sorry, I don't have the link, but there was someone who tested how latency increased on drives that spent months on the shelf. The explanation was error correction working harder.

I reckon most of professional programming done by people whose main job is not programming is either Excel or VPLs.

It seems weird to me, that the saying that visual programming has failed is being repeated still. E.g I think the film and game industries would be nowhere near the fidelity they are today without those tools.

Sure, it might be that VPLs are best used for scripting and not for implementing the core systems, but we are usually fine with such distinctions for "real" languages without thinking they have failed.

I mean something different: no one has ever measured a critical volume, your dp/dv flatlines at the critical point, i.e. there is no driving force to make the fluid balance out the naturally occurring fluctuations, indeed relaxation times go to infinity at the critical point. An EOS only gives you the thermodynamic equilibrium value, attained when you let it sit for times much larger than the relaxation times.

The Widom line(s) are somewhat arbitrarily and ambiguously defined, so I'm not a big fan (pseudo boiling all the way!), but the whole point there is that there is no phase equilibrium at supercritical conditions. However, just because we never observe supercritical liquids and gases simultaneously in equilibrium, does not mean they don't exist. They absolutely do and do lead to a phase transition between liquids and gases - just not coexisting.

This also means that your other comment needs a revision: we absolutely do have something akin to boiling at supercritical conditions, even with macroscopic effects, such as the (subcritical) boiling crisis <> (supercritical) heat transfer deterioration.

Ah yes, the "kids would love chores if only parents did it right!" argument. I assume all readers in this thread love doing all of their chores all of the time. "Yay, I can't wait to clean the litterbox again!" "Oh good, I get to clean all of the dishes again!" "Sweet, it's 95F out and I get to mow the lawn!"

Seriously? I can get some simple joy from doing some chores, but most of them I'd happily give up. Kids aren't dumb, they figure things out real quick. They are also wired like their parents, and so if the parents like to do dishes and vacuum, the kids are likely to enjoy the same. I hate, and have always hated, mowing the lawn. I've done it for the vast majority of my life. Try to engage my son all you want, and he'll still hate it. Some people love mowing the lawn, I wish I was one of them!

You can "just do" the default string sorting. The system (or programming language you're using, etc.) always have a way to sort them by default.

And it doesn't have to be in A to Z. It could be (and IMO, should be) in "special" which such initial-index catalog typically already have.

Nice! $9 for annual services on top of a well constructed platform you can also self host is a really aim-for-the-moon commitment. I hope mataroa finds phenomenal success with their business.
Just grab any shared hosting for $5-10/mo (A Small Orange for example). They’ll keep PHP and MySQL updated for you, and many of them provide one click WP installs as well—and even if they don’t, WP is very easy to install, and it has a built-in one-click updater.
Yes. Now, many short writes look exactly as one very long write from the point of view of an enqueued write that is waiting for its turn :-) I don't quite remember how fair is SQLite scheduling, in practice.
The code fragment that the author complains about has an even more serious fault: it doesn’t check for the existence of an `ed.hup` file. If you happen to have one, because you’re unaware of `ed`’s behavior and you like to give weird names to your files, `ed` will wipe it out when trying to help you.

Vim does similar irresponsible things with its backup files¹ in its default configuration. It not only destroys existing files without checking, but prevents many auto-build systems from working correctly. All these behaviors are reckless, especially as there are obvious alternatives that don’t make assumptions about the users' files.

I never know if the following sort of pedantry is welcome or unwelcome. I can only say that I would want it.

I think you're using "circumspect" incorrectly. My understanding is that it means to only speak or act with caution, not rashly, because one has looked around (spect: look, circum: around). Usually used to describe speaking discreetly, so as not to offend.

And my read of your comment overall is that you are more resigned to loss.

Edit: oh darn I almost missed the opportunity to use myself as the example usage: "I tried to be circumspect writing this comment."
