Humans also had one advantage: sweating. We are almost the only animal that can perspire across the bulk of our skin. So we can keep walking/running in the heat of the day when our prey and our predators cannot. Given enough time, in hot weather, humans can harass and run down uninjured deer and even horses. Our method of walking may not be efficient, but our ability to handle heat means we can keep moving long after everyone else has to hide in the shade.

Just look at anyone walking a dog on a summer day. The dog is probably panting. The human is not. In a distance race, the human could easily outrun the dog.

If I were to give a software analogy, I would say Deutsch's proposal is like trying to describe physics by specifying it in terms of the data types that the "code" of the physical equations satisfy. Instead of saying the "underlying implementation code" is what is fundamental in physics, he is suggesting that the types are fundamental. And the way to figure out what the code is doing is to figure out the types because the types are what ultimately constrain the code. His view would be something like every possible set of implementation code that satisfies the types is in fact instantiated in the multiverse. Therefore figuring out the fundamental layer of physics means figuring out the types because they are what define the multiverse.
I think there is a balance here. Open the API and make shareholders happy. If they cannibalize their own traffic they violate fiduciary duty and get sued into the ground. Otherwise they inject ads into the API endpoints themselves and make it part of TOS to not strip them out. You can pay for higher and higher access levels but they would never offer “all of Twitter data running on our servers and pipelines for free”. They have spent and spend millions and millions building that physical infrastructure.

Yep, I figured as much. I want this thing to exist, and be multi-platform, and supported... so I'm willing to do that.
in the video he says that everybody was disadvantaged to the same extent by work from home at the beginning of the pandemic. I disagree with this, I think that younger professionals were more disadvantaged than older professionals as they were less likely to have a dedicated space for working at home. Students were impacted even more. Imagine 6 people living in a 3 bedroom house, all attending lectures remotely.

Flathub is it's own can of worms, as is Flatpak. There's a number of "next-gen" Linux users who love to demonize people who are critical of new tech like Wayland, GNOME and the like, but I'm the most critical towards Flatpak. Linux doesn't need more hack-y ways to get bad software running: we need more robust ways to get software running well. Flatpak is a shotgun approach to getting an app working, where someone said "your app doesn't run? let's just containerize it!"

Needless to say, this is not a great idea in concept, practice, or it's current execution.

I think a much better idea would have been to copy what NixOS does. Yes, your developers have to do a little more work, but you can finally have reliable builds, fix your dependency graph, and actually run your software natively. I'd love for a more uniform "AppImage" style of installation, but Flatpak is definitely not it. Too many sharp edges.
Despite of not being perfect in handling it, it seems no other country is doing better.
One reason climate change has not been adequately addressed is that we are facing many simultaneous crises and people are treating each one as the "end of civilization". No. Things are very bad. But take incremental steps forward to address them.

As I was confused by the quote "Ron Gilbert told me he'd never make another Monkey Island unless...", it seems to come from this:

> That quote is a reference to a manifesto Gilbert wrote in 2013 about his dreams of creating another Monkey Island game [https://grumpygamer.com/if_i_made_another_monkeyisland]. The post made clear that Monkey Island would never officially return unless Gilbert owned the series' IP. "I've spent too much of my life creating and making things other people own," Gilbert wrote. "Not only would I allow you to make Monkey Island fan games, but I would encourage it."

With full respect intended, I have to disagree.

We already have several options available to massively curtail our emissions (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal). While yes new technology would make this transition even faster, a major, MAJOR roadblock is lobbying by fossil fuel industries and related corporate interests.

Yes it got really bad during the pandemic. It’s as if the upper classes clearing out of downtown back to the burbs, avenues, and condos created a vacuum that all the other elements of the city filled. They were always there but more hidden. Now they’re in the open because nothing’s pushing back.

With all the shuttered businesses, downtown is basically dead right now. Whole blocks of nothing.

But the tide is shifting. Traffic is back, farmers market is packed, morning sidewalks are full of commuters. A few mor months and it will only be as bad as it was a few years ago.

> I'm surprised why voter ID has become such a partisan issue, specifically how intense the Democratic opposition to it has been. It's a sensible policy and it seems the concerns about "[X] not having ID" should be addressed by solving the problems preventing [X] from getting an ID

It's a partisan issue for three reasons.

1. The party that is enacting these voter ID laws in almost all cases is at the same time enacting changes to make it harder for those who do not already have a suitable ID to get one. If these laws also did as you suggest and addressed the problem of getting ID there would be much less objection.

Typical methods include reducing the number of places you can go to get IDs (with most of the reductions coming in areas that typically vote for the other party), reducing the number of days and the number of hours on those days that those places issue IDs so that to get an ID you have to come in on a work day during work hours, accepting many forms of ID carefully that happens to include things people who vote for them are more likely to have (i.e., state issued hunting licenses) and excluding ID that people who vote for the other party are more likely to have (i.e., state issue college ID).

I forgot which state it was, but in one if you took the list something like a dozen acceptable IDs and sorted it descending by the probability that a black person in that state already had that ID, all the acceptable ones were in the top of the list. The legislative committee that made the acceptable ID was known to have had that data when they made that list, which makes it rather hard to believe that it was not a coincidence that the ones black people were more likely to have did not make the cut.

2. These are almost always accompanied by non-ID voting changes that also make it harder to vote even if you have the correct ID, and these changes almost always massively disproportionately affect people who tend to vote for the other party.

E.g., restricting voting hours, in particular getting rid of early voting on the weekend before election day. Decreasing the number of places to vote or the number of places you can drop off ballots.

3. This is not addressing an actual problem. Every attempt to show that there is any non-trivial amount of incorrect voting has failed to find any.

#3 in itself is not bad. Just because it is not a problem now doesn't mean it can't become a problem in the future so getting ahead and getting it in place now could be sensible, but when combined with #1 and #2 it is clear that ID is being enacted not to increase election security but as a form of voter suppression.
Your last paragraph is simply false.

It’s funny how intensity triggers our anxiety like that. Triggers a disposition to ignore the future for the moment.

I wonder if western propaganda and hype generation for technology, quarterly gains, the latest stuff! could be leveraged intentionally to distract any human then given our shared biology.

That’s a rhetorical point since I know our biology is intentionally used against us like that by industry because marketing and PR execs have explained how it is just so they seek to keep our inner monologues flush with their phrases.

There’s plenty of new perspectives and applications of your agency available. Why not put yourself to them rather than demand others change theirs?

No? Going to sit at screen and PR others into action? Typical rich westerner; externalizing the change they want to see in the world.

Congratulations on the launch. There is a demand for a native, fast IDE. I gave Zas a quick spin in our fairly large Go codebase:

Pros:

- really fast

- clean, fresh, minimal UI

Cons:

- Maybe I did something wrong, but one thing I do almost every day is rename something. Right-click a function name (or press F2), pick a better name, done. Zas seems to only rename the occurrences in the current file vs. the declaration.

- The "Open file" suggestions are not great. If I search for a file `moo.go`, one of the first suggestions is `some/folder/moo/some/more/other.go` and then further down the list somewhere it shows `moo.go`

- CMD + click on a symbol should jump to the declaration (or usages)

EDIT: we use GoLand today. Functionality-wise it is great (also builtin TypeScript/JS support is a real plus) but it is slow and hungry.
I'd rather drag with a mouse instead of have to click to set location then press keys to slide. As a bonus drag would also work for touch.
I rejected a fairly good FAANG offer because they required me moving to SF. That was 2019, but I still rejected it after watching some bikers driving through and filming the city on YouTube.
>Paraphrasing the LA times articles like you do…give yourself a clap on the back and go back to Fox news.

I very rarely read fox news. I'm not from or in the USA.

Politically I am conservative but fox news will not provide me any new viewpoint or benefit.

Might I also point out how your attack on fox news is rather empty. I remember the keith olberman vs hannity/oreilly era. Fox news was one of the worst journalism entities there was. While keith was epic.

Oddly enough, fox took this criticism and certainly improved. Flipside, msnbc and keith are now the ones peddling disinformation. In a way they each became what the other was.

Yep, with this much of information it probably won't be a problem to match two browsers running on same machine. Interestingly my ff session which runs in podman does not reveal most of the best sources of fingerprinting which I can see when running the same test on chromium.

I wonder if the answer to the problem could be to let those companies to track whatever they want if only all they get is exactly the same fingerprint from every user.
This is a really cool idea. This could start with a small but growing group of apps that opt into that transparency.
I guess the human toll of all those things aren't really all that meaningful when it is not visually apparent to an outside observer. Which does make this a good example of what is going in general, you are right!
So? That's not an argument for doing it again. 'Everyone else is taking a bung from the NSA to forward them data', for example, isn't a moral justification to do it yourself (made up example).
If they need to use insurance (say, on a phone) or are getting credit cards stolen in these incidents, then they probably are. Or passports, drivers licenses, et c.

You don't report most crimes to the police because you expect them to solve them, anyway, because they won't even try, even if you can practically hand them all the evidence they need. That's true almost everywhere, not just SF. They're too busy with infractions that let them levy fines or confiscate lots of expensive stuff.

You do it to check bureaucratic checkboxes with private entities that you'll need to deal with to fix various related problems.
Sounds like you are the one denying racism.
My tl;dr of the article:

1. JavaScript's numbers behave better than C's! (All the behavior the author is praising is because the numbers are IEEE floating point numbers and for most of JavaScript's history there weren't integer types. This was fine...until you started dealing with integers that didn't fit in the mantissa and you expected them to behave like integers.)

2. C works on too many kinds of computers and doesn't make assumptions I like! (Of course C can't guarantee that you have word lengths that are multiples of 8 bits, because it was—and probably still is somewhere—used on machines that don't have that. It can't provide standard ways to find out the endianness of the host because that may not be available from the host, or the host may support multiple endiannesses like x86 does. Of course C can't provide for 32 bit 2's complement integers because the hardware it runs on may not be 2's complement or 32 bit. Just pretend you're running on an exotic audio focused microcontroller with 12 bit words, 1's complement integers, and with endianness defined in the microcontroller's manual.)

Oh yeah, in just my 36 years of life, I've seen things change pretty drastically and have seen family videos for stuff I don't remember.

When I was born, my hometown would regularly see around 10ft of snow (I've seen the videos).

During my childhood, that reduced down to around 2->5 ft of snow.

Now, my home town is lucky to see 2->3 inches of snow.

This drought has caused major issues for a town that was built around farming. It's driven them to pull more water from the aquifer which itself has been in pretty rapid decline. Everyone just keeps drilling deeper and deeper pumps (30ft used to be enough, now 100+ft is what people are drilling).

These sorts of slow moving collapses are terrifying to watch. And, at the same time, infuriating to hear the deniers throughout my life claim it's a hoax/not real.

I see a lot of people who do no like this. And that is totaly fair. I do not want or need this either, I have my own resolver on my pi-hole and why the f whould I want FF to mess with that.

However, for 'normal' users, this is actually an important an big improvement imo. You cannot expect everyone to understand how it all works and how to run a dns server. If you can, you might not be the target audience for such features.

That being said, I'd prefer my FF without all the 'services' and bullshit. I tried Librefox, but couldn't get it to run. Gave up after 30s. Guess I'm not the target audience for that and I'll deal with disabling mozilla's spam ;)

> For the proposed 2021-22 budget, the San Francisco Police Department’s allocation will decrease by $6 million, from about $668 million to $661 million. Those cuts can nearly all be attributed to decreased demand for police at the airport. However, in the following fiscal year, the city projects the police budget will increase once again to $689 million. That’s close to the police budget’s all-time high of $692 million in FY 2019-20. By way of comparison, in FY 2010-11, the police budget weighed in at $445 million.
