Ok you have provided zero evidence of anything happening today, the best you had is 40 years ago, and that one was false.

>In the 80s we have plenty of lawsuits demonstrating the black Americans were routinely denied home loans because they were black

This has been proven statistically false. Easily proven because if it were true, the black people that were accepted for home loans would have lower default rates than whites. In fact, they had exactly the same default rates as whites and when laws were introduced to force banks to accept more blacks, the default rate increased above whites. Proving race was never considered, just the chance of repaying the load.

Anyway, since you are only talking about history, lets put it into historical context.

Racism was pushed heavily by the big government socialists and the intellectual elite who called themselves "the progressive movement" for a very long time in the US, and was opposed by the Republican party, who thought everyone should be treated equally, for just as long.

One can't help but notice, it is exactly the same people, and with exactly the same economic and collectivist ideas who are pushing the exact same racist policies today, like affirmative action against Asians, for example. The same people who have always been responsible for the problem saying "we are now solving racism with more racism" doesn't impressive me much. To accept this I would need some evidence that today's world, with the new ideas that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their race, is not working.

Evidence which you have not provided.

>The legacy admissions also provide the formal evidence of the original claim: people who's admission to a good school has nothing to do with their skill, merely being white allowing their family to have attended any school.

This ended with the introduction of standardized testing. A policy that is now being challenged by people who follow your ideology.

If rand() gives you trouble who knows what else in the C library may give you more trouble. It’s not that hard to copy paste or even write your own implementation for basic parts of the C API, minus the allocation related things. For me I’ve found GitHub Copilot great for filling in basic stubs for C stdlib APIs.
> but the only people who SMS me these days are delivery services and banks.

So they still work. If anybody would send you an sms, without you having to create any new account, they would reach you, and you could answer. No need to "add contact", no need to login. In fact, it this person will still be able to send you a text in 10 years.

But in 10 years, most people will have moved on from whatsapp, line or IG to the new sexy thing. Not WeChat I guess, because it's becoming the credit card for 1 billion chinese.

And yet, you will still have an email address.

If by lately, you mean "basically always", then I'd agree. I'd be hard pressed to think of any regulation that was successfully enacted and led to actual distress and disruption in the big corporations.

> that doesn't make it inherently so

Why would it be different this time? Can you think of any kind of policy that has any slim chance of passing and would get us rid of Big Tech? And by "Big Tech", I mean all of it, not just the ones that you don't like.

How much of this is down to the editors and producers knowing only the MTV, quick-cut style of video production (which seems to have been en vogue since the '00s) and not having any mentorship or guidance from the old guard? If that style of video production is all you know, then everything is going to have that same quick-cut style of production. Similar to web developers who only know JS...every problem becomes a JS problem to be solved in the JS way. (e.g. if all you have is a hammer...)

Visual programming have the advantage to be more approachable to non-programmers. In the gaming industry, you need a tone of small event reactions and logics to make great game. If you push all of those needs to a separate programmer team, you add complexity to your production and lower your agility. Given live editing supported, code will always be more efficient for programmers but getting all the talents (design, level design…) that are also fluent programmers may be unrealistic at scale.

You having to pay bank fees for frauds and therefore bank issuing a chargeback means they are not willing to depend on their "tech", symptom of a poor/inexistent tech

In comparison, with PayPal, if the fraud was detected and the bank issue a chargeback, you have nothing to pay, i have a SaaS since 2008, and never had a single problem with PayPal, the day i added Stripe, that issue started to appear, it disappeared the day i removed Stripe, i don't want to depend on a company that make me loose money (SaaS with low prices, -$15 per fraud, no thank you)

I'm s strong believer that your first few engineers are very very, very important and you need to hire very experienced people.

In the cases I've seen this, honestly I think the ones to blame where the stakeholders, for hiring very young people, for the cheapest rate they could and giving them full responsibility and the Senior Architecure Something Something title when those people don't have more than a couple years experience and are just building what they read in a blog two weeks ago.

Omicron has a similar severity to Original Covid. Vax rates are low among the elderly in China, so it would be disaster if they lost control.

Assuming they are successful in containing the outbreak in Shanghai, China will come through this with disease and death rates orders of magnitude lower than the US. Their history may be bad, but in this case they have it right.
English hegemony is wrong and dangerous to the cultures of the world.
Kind of crazy how sentimental and emotional the response is with barely any actual discussion going on about the merits of this on a grand scale. Yes, stories about people's dogs and temporary economic depression are awful. The larger picture is that China by pursuing these policies has stopped millions of deaths, probably tens of millions of cases of long term disabilities, and overall kept the economy going.

It's weird to me that someone ends up in China and is surprised by collectivist policies.
You know the last time I dared to even think about potentially engaging the Thunderbird team I regretted it pretty severely. The new messages badge was changed to an unread message count. The official response on the PR (that someone else had opened) was along the lines of "screw you, we know best how to use an email client" and even making it configurable was not in the cards.

In that context why on earth would I bother trying digging into documentation of questionable quality to figure out an archaic build process? Mind you in the decade or so since that issue was raised the badge has been made configurable and can show up to 99 unread or new messages. Nobody ever has more than 99, right?

Trying to dig into the theme stuff was… interesting. The documentation is exceptionally sparse, but the tooling itself was terrible. Things fail silently which means that you often have to restart to render any changes to your theme (instead of uninstalling or reloading it). Of course you'll probably also have to manually reload the theme since it won't persist across restarts if there was some sort of silent failure.

All in all interacting with Thunderbird feels more like interacting with a black box than an open source project. So no thanks, I'll pass on that kind of user hostility.
Same here in my area. For what its worth one can buy a portable RO system. I found one on Amazon that is decent. I first run my well water through a Britta filter to take most of the sediment and calcium out or the SimPure RO plugs up within 15 gallons. The house has no filter yet The Britta filters last for about 20 gallons each on my water. This allows my RO filters to work for about 300 gallons.

My long term plan is to rip the giant pressure tank out of the underground well room and put in stainless steel tanks and many fine filters, charcoal, UV, etc... and one drill pump and small pressure tank per house so that I have reserve water when the underground pump fails and a way to fill the reserve tanks from a truck.
My conclusion from the article was the CNN writer was suggesting that Paw Patrol isn't "fascist".

The only time the text uses the term "fascist" is:

> Sa'iyda Shabazz, who is based in Los Angeles, said she has no qualms letting her 4-year-old watch "Thomas," which is "his favorite thing in the entire world."

I don't know why we are supposed to care what Shabazz thinks. From what I can tell, she's "a freelance writer who lives in Los Angeles. She mostly writes about the intersections of race, sexuality, class, gender and parenting, as well as other lifestyle topics", says Forbes.

More relevantly, Uhls, a research scientist, explained why "Rigidness and simplicity of narrative (in children's television shows) is really important ... Parents concerned with the unsavory elements in shows like "Thomas" and "Paw Patrol" should talk to their children about them, but "don't overthink it."

How do you get from that to "neo-Marxism"?

You can't know this function will actually finish without looking inside of bar() in any Turing Complete language, because this is the Halting Problem.

Not in a trivial way either. A good async language will never let std.log.info print until/unless bar resumes.

The difference between a "blue foo" and a "red foo" is also subtler than we pretend it is. Both will finish eventually, unless they don't, and both may be paused for as long as the OS wants in any preëmptive operating system.

I think the AI will produce more and better content than we ourselves, across the board. We will become consumers and observers of the AI content. The scientific and artistic life of the AI that we create will be more wonderful and beautiful by orders of magnitude than that which we can produce. We will be mere observers to the wondrous explosion, isolated islands of intelligence observing the great continents in awe. Some will merge with the intelligence, some will splinter and reject, most will observe. And the great filter will arrive, the gestalt being that our society becomes will bend apart the fabric of the universe and merge directly into a greater source. et sic transit gloria mundi.

That's exactly it. The web was supposed to solve a problem of document distribution. Documents are not general computing environments, and that's exactly what you want. I want to read this news article, not run general software on my own system.

The biggest problem with the web is that it has been made into a general computing environment. Instead of creating another separate network - the web for docs, the app web for apps, with different url schemas etc - the web has been co-opted for this second case, thereby making it much less useful/safe for its original purpose.
I mean, assuming they can contain it in Shanghai, then China really is an ideal society where Covid isn't running wild. We are yet to see the full burden of disease and disability from (repeated) Covid infections - it may be very serious.
This factory looks no different from any other big German auto facility. Maybe a little sparsely populated right now, probably because it's still growing.

Without careful control we all will end up watching absolute garbage.

I am now very careful about what i personally watch. People recommend documentaries to me regularly. If it isnt BBC i am very careful to vet its makers before watching. If it is a drama, a check the director out first. There is far too much material out there to waste my time on anything but great tv.

I a currently re-watching James Nesbit in "Babylon" ... great tv is still out there.
> Knowledge doesn’t obviate responsibility.

This is true, but the fact here is that you do not have any responsibility of choosing your employer according to some moral standard of "making the world a better place". This is just your random opinion, in the same way as I can believe that it's everyone's moral responsibility to only buy local produce. It's objectively a "good thing" to do, and you are free to make that choice if you want. But you can't just decide that it's "everyone's" responsibility to suddenly follow your arbitrary moral code. That is the definition of being arrogant and judgemental.

This idea of only working for companies that can be proven to not have any negative side effects of their business, is nothing but a virtue signalling trend, that is randomly and unfairly only applied to the tech industry, for some reason. You can choose to live your life according to maximising the virtue signalling points you can score on this trend, if you want, but this is not any responsibility, to act martyr for saving the world.

The modern kitchen isn't "utilitarian", lots of it could be simpler and more functional. Cement slab flooring with epoxy coat is what you see in industrial kitchens (and mine!) because its tough to mar and easy to clean. This place has some fake wood "laminate".

The cabinet doors are covered in frilly, unnecessary detail, bright work handles etc. The "center island" table this is a great idea but it should be an open frame table on casters.

I don't know what you'd properly call this aesthetic, but its there and it has screwed over the design of the space at the cost of much utility.

That kind of stuff sounds good, but it’s dangerous. You risk getting used to it, and then getting hosed when you’re on a normal system. Some people use a similar thing where they set "rm" as an alias to "rm -i", i.e. ask interactively before removal of each file.

I once heard a story about some SunOS consultant who was used to "rm" being an alias for "rm -i", and the first thing this consultant did, as root, was to "cd /etc" and then "rm *".

I am entirely the opposite - always wanting to but never following through on building a blog/online identity presence.

Seeing the recent posts I started thinking about finally taking the plunge soon.

I guess your perception of this depends on your prior experiences. I’ve never been recognized or “seen” by anyone online. The idea of achieving that sounds super appealing right now. From the sound of it, for you that is a “been there done that” kind of thing.

How come using transcendental math changes hardware state?
As an author, I strongly disagree with the semantics here. Lie implies there is deception involved. The idea of a story being “true” conflates deception and history. (History being the full context of what has actually happened.)

1. All fantasy is not history.

2. All deception is not history.

It does not follow that all fantasy is deception.

Fantasy comes from imagination. For the audience who reads a story intending to be fictional and known to be by both author and audience, there is no deception.

Dealing with large files or huge number of open files is something where Notepad++ really shines, it's basically the reason you would use it for text files instead of VS Code, IMHO. I've had Notepad++ open many hundreds of files in single sittings to do file exploration, data-cleaning and really aggressive regex search/replace. It's obviously smart about how to deal with this without locking up the application.

Definitely my goto editor for non-code files. I've wondered if emacs can do the same, but when I've asked an emacs user responded with "Why would you want to open 800 files?" I take that as a "no"?
Actual economics professor here…

Take as much econometrics as you can possibly stomach. Augment it with classes from the stat department but econometrics will teach you about making causal inferences in situations where experiments are impossible, unethical, or extremely expensive (or all of the above). Modern empirical economics is 99% about making causal inferences. That’s basically the only thing we care about.

Methods (at the undergrad level) you will want to be familiar with include: difference in differences, regression discontinuity, event study, synthetic control, and the like. Ask your professors in what classes this material is taught.

There is tremendous, enormous demand for this inside tech companies. Amazon has about 400 PhD economists for example. Many other firms are trying to catch up. Jobs are plentiful and extremely lucrative.

If you have any interest in a PhD in the field, a whole new universe of opportunities will open up but I recognize this is not for everyone. There are methods not listed above which you could learn in grad school but that’s enough to get started.

> If anybody would send you an sms, without you having to create any new account, they would reach you, and you could answer. No need to "add contact", no need to login.

Honestly, as a consumer I would prefer that this not be the case. I want to be able to control the ways in which people can contact me; I actually keep a separate number for WhatsApp specifically so that people who have my voice number can’t find me on there.

> In fact, it this person will still be able to send you a text in 10 years.

Assuming my number doesn’t change, which anecdotally feels way less common now. When I was a kid it was normal for eg my parents to have the same phone number for 30 years, but these days people seem to switch much more freely.
