I don’t like the pattern of making frameworks less opinionated. I had hoped to use Blitz in the future but this pivot will undoubtably increase the complexity of the internals. Meaning more bugs. More hassle. Somewhere inside there is now a system to multiplex between different 3rd party frameworks. What they should have done is double down. Rails is one of the most popular and longest lasting modern frameworks for a reason.
Perhaps society shouldn’t make women choose between a career and a family and it would be less of a problem. Many white collar workplaces are pretty hostile to working mothers in some ways overt, and other ways more subtly.

It’s entirely possible to have a culture where women can have families and careers at the same time. It’s entirely a cultural problem and is completely solvable if there is a collective will to solve it.
No, java script has two built in number types, number and bigint ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data... )

number type represents only it's value.
number type has only one integer with multiple representations. (hence why doing bit manipulations in java script overrides the whole concept of using the language representation of the value of a number. e.g. is number all zero's except of last bit a float, an integer, or a boolean?)

With BigInts, you can safely store and operate on large integers even beyond the safe integer limit for Numbers. A BigInt is not strictly equal to a Number, but it is loosely so.

Two's compilment is a numeric encoding scheme, not a numberic value. Messing with an encoding scheme means directly manipulating bits. Not safe to do in java script because of behind the scenes / hidden from programmer using java script language type coersions.

****

Ah 'weak/strong type' is pretty vague (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/430182/is-c-strongly-typ... && https://stackoverflow.com/questions/376611/why-interpreted-l... )

scripting (java script) is dynamically typed.

compiled C is staticly typed.

C++ can infer types at runtime.

**

Was what interprets/runs java script on a given machine compiled as 64bit program or 32bit program?

Hence, is javascript number an actual 32bits, actual 64bits, or is a 64bit value a 32bit with bigint extensions behind the scenes.

During the execution of a javescript, is a check to see which java version (old / new) is being used done before doing 32/64bit bit manipulations so there are no "is it safe to use bit manipulations with bigints"
hint: The reason why javascript can nolonger safely represent integers (not integer values).
There isn't a minimizing button since the idea is that basic apps are generally meant to be ephemeral; that a task should be a quick one-and-done (or so I was told when I asked on IRC years ago). You can add the button back and even put it on the left side of the window via the GNOME Tweaks tool. If you want to hide a window, slide it into another workspace. It felt weird at first but it makes more sense as I continued to use GNOME. I call it the "control panel workspace". At least you can multitask with workspaces easier than you could on Windows.

Can't speak for mobiles. The desktop though is surprisingly more keyboard-friendly than it appears. It may have flaws, but GNOME feels like a better desktop than anything else I've tried.
Why is it necessary to buy clothes every 2 weeks and then throw them away after wearing them once?

Certain externalities (e.g. environmental destruction) are not priced into these products - so it's about time that these fast fashion companies are being stopped from exploiting loopholes.

Maybe this will encourage folks to use 2nd hand markets more, like Vinted or Deepop etc.

Italy has been in headlines about this for years, young people living with parents into their 30s due to low incomes and high unemployment. At the same time income stats vs other WEU countries are problematic as the shadow economy is much larger.
I do wish we all would wait until a study is replicated to quote it. Or at the very least critically analyzed by the relevant expert community.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently since this was posted:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30858311

Tldr; 67% of time spent on a project is maintenance, and 60% of time spent on existing code (ie when doing said maintenance) is spent on understanding it. For a reasonable sized project, that is man-months of effort and a huge cognitive burden.

I've begun to wonder whether tools like literate programming, that have been with us for decades, are only just now starting to look value for money. They require an upfront investment, but you win it back in spades in not having the massive technical debt of painfully unnavigable code that hampers even basic development tasks.

I go with literate programming because I don't think basic documentation cuts it. LP puts code description front and centre and is much easier to keep in step with the source output as a result. Basic documentation by contrast relies on goodwill and trust, and is vulnerable to time pressures.
Can you explain? As I understand it supercriticality is just something you need to deal with, not that you necessarily want.
So the causal link, at least in US, seems to be education->earnings, not gender->earning (which is a correlation).
I’m new to codecs coming from frontend webdev mostly JS. is anyone able to point me to some resources on how to know via cli or programmatically to detect if a hardware codec is installed? and if it’s currently being utilized by web video player

the two ways I recently learned is only for listing codecs.

for windows is via legacy media player

for linux is via ffmpeg

and I’m still confused how video players talk to codecs and why they are installed separately and how code can interface with them if they are installed seperately

I never thought that you are supposed to copy the code from a book blindly. If you do that, there must be some library that you can use that work better. So treating the code as pseudo code, I thought numerical recipes were excellent, better than text books in many aspects.

It sorta makes me wish there was a term that didn’t have the cultural baggage of “conspiracy theorist”.

There is a wide range of conspiracy theories, from “completely outlandish” to “unlikely” to “plausible.”

Consider these three:

1) The Soviets attempted to put a man into space before Yuri Gagarin. The attempt failed, he died, and the Soviets covered up the attempt to avoid the negative publicity.

2) The US has a second, secret space program managed by the military.

3) The US secret space program is based on recovered alien technology, which was reverse engineered and put into practice without ever being declassified. They have several very large spacecraft (“Solar Warden”) that are manned by people who are taken as young adults, spend twenty years of service in space, and who then have their memories wiped and are transported back in time to a point before they enlisted. This program is called “Twenty and Back.”

… there are people out there who believe all three of these.

I find the first to be completely plausible - even likely - though I’ve not seen enough evidence to be convinced it’s necessarily true. The second is plausible but unlikely to be true on a scale that would be really surprising. The third… c’mon.

As it is, as a culture we seem to lump people who are open to believing things like the first two may be true in with people who believe the the third. That’s probably doing us a disservice.
"Artificial wombs" for the rich exist today, and are called surrogates. Ultimately the bigger problem isn't the birth itself but the time, money and space required to raise a child after it is born. For more and more young professionals in urban areas the numbers simply don't work out.
I've been going shopping for shirts/jeans for 30 years now, and when I see something I like I always pinch it between my fingers to check the fabric. Had a fabulous 100% cotton Polo RL shirt that lasted me 10 years until creases around cuffs and the collar literally disintegrated. Went to the same section just last month and the most expensive, fancy shirt there was as thin as rice paper. You could see through it!

I'm not sure what to do. It might be time to switch to an online source, but then I can't "pinch the fabric" as easily - have to return what I don't like. Wish there was a source with fabric specs, but I have little hope. As it is you can barely get the manufacturers to fess up the material blend, hiding it in between a bunch of other tags in fine print or in weird spots.

One factor might be the exodus of people with internationally facing jobs, those with contact on the outside. By some accounts this is getting into hundreds of thousands of workers and their families.
I’m always baffled when I read these comments from non-parents who describe parenting as the end of your life.

Daycare isn’t prohibitively expensive for any of us in tech careers. Anyone quitting a $150K+ job to avoid paying $20-30K for a good daycare for the few years before kids entire school isn’t doing it because it’s the optimal financial decision.

You don’t stop having a career or earning money or having career advancement when you have kids.

Yes, and the society is doing great and is very prosperous those days, thanks to all those succeeding startups, that's really cool.

Just keep creating startups with all this money, and everything will be fine. No problem at all.
I don't think everyone changes as fast as the data can get stale. Humans are both creatures of habit and agents of change. For the former, this data is still relevant and ads can do their jobs. For the latter, the data is stale and ads do not convert. Age may be a huge factor here.

I do believe in data privacy. Mostly from the lens of not living in a future world where data removes an individual's critical thinking ability and engagement of new experiences. This is already pretty true in corporate america & reliance on technology like map apps instead of getting lost like the article mentions.

For ads, I think we have to accept the reality of the world such as Jerry Mander did in 1978:

“If you accept the existence of advertising, you accept a system designed to persuade and to dominate minds by interfering in people's thinking patterns. You also accept that the system will be used by the sorts of people who like to influence people and are good at it. No person who did not wish to dominate others would choose to use advertising, or choosing it, succeed in it. So the basic nature of advertising and all technologies created to serve it will be consistent with this purpose, will encourage this behaviour in society, and will tend to push social evolution in this direction.” - Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander

that's a great question, yes, you can use the startup directory to run the stats on inactive startups. on average, every third startup fails

The idea of corporations dominating the internet is not nebulous at all.

Things used to be more ad hoc. People would create their own websites from scratch. There was less centralization. Every website wasn't a boostrap clone.

The pursuit of profit changed things dramatically. As soon as people started making big money on the internet, things changed. FOMO kicked in and the internet became the new gold rush.

Idk man, it seems like you just weren't there at the beginning.
Competition is always one click way on the internet. The "monopolistic" practices would not be sufficient if people actually cared enough to stand up an alternative that respected your privacy.

The market does not care enough about its own privacy to justify those alternatives. DDG has been available for years... It's doing fine, and it's a great alternative to Google, but it's not doing the gangbusters that one would expect if people weren't mostly satisfied with the privacy trade off.

And personally, I think it's extremely elitist for us to assume that we can better evaluate the privacy / service trade-off than most users can. Comparing the average user to a native being taken advantage of by European colonials is a view terribly dismissive of people's self-determination.

From my own professional experience: it costs a minimum of $350 per net rentable square foot for new construction of mid-rise rental apartment buildings. This includes all materials, labor and design/permitting costs, and the cost of land acquisition in the urban core of a second-tier U.S. real estate market (NC Triangle). $350,000, 1000-square-foot three-bedroom apartments are affordable housing. But good luck finding one in a new building!
DeleteMe's privacy policy and terms of service (both at https://joindeleteme.com/legal/ ) don't seem very reasonable for a company that claims to be in the service of privacy. The website asks for all sorts of personal information at signup and stores it all for use later, with no real promises that they won't do something malicious. (Although the privacy policy currently says they won't sell your data right back to Google, they also retain the right to change the policy at any time for any reason...)
If that ever happens the baby gap will be an exponentially larger problem we will have the deal with than a wage gap.
> So my peer group made it a drinking game. Every time <my friend> apologizes, everyone has to drink.

Chances are that someone who apologizes for "basically breathing" doesn't have the ability to even express mild displeasure at the game, much less feel comfortable requesting that it stop. So it's a coin flip whether your friend a) feels like part of the group during this activity in a positive way, or b) takes the whole ordeal as yet another reason from the universe to apologize.
Even if this tech was invented I don't think it would move the needle that much. A pregnancy will keep you away from work for a few months. Taking care of the baby is when the shit hits the fan.
Not true. Also, he didn't remix anything. They just published his unreleased mixes.
I wonder what's the most common cause for failure. Or if there's even a common cause.
Blitz is not becoming less opinionated. It’s just the implementation that is changing.

The internals are significantly less complex now. Before, Blitz was a fork of Next.js, and dealing with that was a nightmare. Contributions dropped off significantly because of that.

Now features are nicely packaged and isolated. Much easier to reason about and contribute too.
Which is to say, it sounds better. And it should: Nevermind was a much more deliberate, planned, and practiced album. The band was at each others throats by the time In Utero wound up, and it shows. In Utero is dark and brooding, which is why people say they prefer it, but it's also grating and one-note. With apologies to James Spader, it's noise rock for people who don't like noise rock, and indie pop for people who don't like indie pop.

Nevermind is also clearly the more influential of the two albums. Zillions of bands have tried to make albums that sound like Nevermind. In Utero? Maybe Neutral Milk Hotel? And they did it better!

I remember something Jim DeRogatis said about Big Black on Sound Opinions back when it was on WKQX, something about how Albini was an interesting artist with lots to say but that his albums were really unpleasant to listen to. That's In Utero for me. As an edgy teen? Loved it. Today? I can barely get through it. 7.4/10.0.

Part of it is that as a 90s kid who owned a couple of Big Black albums, I listened to a lot of albums just because Albini recorded them; In Utero is not the most interesting affect he had on a band.

"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" is, however, the best Nirvana song.

What reliability issues did you have with Blitz?
> that live doesn't actually sound good, it is just a good experience — the people, the light, the atmosphere, you went there and payed potentially a ton of money for it, you are a little drunk, it is loud, everybody who is there is in a good mood, it happens live in front of your eyes... In short: It sounds better than it actually sounds for psychological reasons.

Certainly I've had this experience! But there are so many great live bootleg recordings, don't they seem like evidence that live music can sound fantastic (in the sense of music, not recording quality)? Listen to the Nirvana clips upthread.

But thinking about it, I've forgotten that many, many bands are worse live than in a studio, and far more are no better live. The Rolling Stones stand out to me as a band known for legendary live concerts but who, if you hear the music only, play poorly. I love live music so I realize I have a very strong selection bias toward people who are fantastic live performers. Not everyone, or maybe nobody, is Nirvana.
Sure. But I got better things to do than prove the obvious to people who don't want to believe it
Same thing happened to the auto manufacturers in Detroit. Used to be one of the richest cities in the world, now one of the poorest and most violent in America.

Where are these countries that within the population a woman’s fertility isn’t negatively correlated to her education and career attainments?

Scandinavian countries do everything you are advocating for and have the same fertility trends as everyone else.

Advocate for those policies anyway, if you want to, but don’t claim they are going to move the needle when we have evidence they won’t.
If the same study previously showed that women were paid less than men, but now show they get paid more, does that not show that things have changed? Are you more inclined to believe it when it showed women earned less and more inclined to not believe when it shows they earned more?
Seems unlikely for a few reasons. But let's say that the technology gets there - what's the value of outsourcing gestation? Pregnancy is no doubt uncomfortable though some women also say they enjoy it, but on a practical level all it takes is a few hundred extra calories a day to incubate a baby. And women in less physical professions seem to be able to work for basically the entire period. The thing is that once the child is born it will take much more effort to raise and that cannot be outsourced to cheap technology at this point, and that work has always fallen more on women.
Is DSP really harder than old school circuit design?

Life is one big selection criteria bias. You don’t need all societies to work, just one. Unfortunately for us it may not be our society that makes it so there may be temporary setbacks. So long as designer baby technology is developed practically any amount of dysgenics can be reversed.
Yes, but the value of the data has declined. If I am a business I would not pay the same amount or more for five-year-old data. Some portion of that dataset will be bad data. Some of the subjects will have had died, for example.

Decline does not mean zero, but the point is older data is less valuable. So, making your data leaking footprint smaller today will still provide you value (not infinite value though) as time goes on.
