There's a whole host of quality children's programming in a style that is no longer popular. I suppose you could find it if you tried, but it certainly doesn't come up on any youtube recommendation. Shows like:

Today's Special
Read All About It
Readalong
Reading Rainbow
Mr. Rogers
Square One Television

Maybe this is just personal nostalgia and there's definitely a regional influence, but I believe the focus on education and benefit to children was clear. Much more so than what I'm seeing now. And the crucial thing is that these shows were found naturally by children. They were part of the default programming. You didn't need a parent to control or coerce the child toward them.

The situation now is abysmal. Without careful control a child will end up watching absolute garbage.
Despite having high overall population densities and some dense cities, India and Bangladesh are still largely (60-80%) rural populations. Totally different to Hong Kong where the population is >99% urban, living in cramped and often poorly-ventilated apartment towers.
> being successful in the US gives you lots of leverage and status

That use to be the case. The shine has definitely worn off. I would say the work culture in Indian product companies are much more closer to its western counterparts. (Service companies are a different ball-game)

> But lets be real, isn't the quality of life much worse

In my opinion, India is worse off in 2 things primarily: 1. Population density in cities 2. Poorer govt. Having said that a lot of things have improved in last decade:

1. Payment infrastructure is probably the best in the world.

2. Govt services increasingly getting online and digitised. This used to be a big friction before.

3. Govt services are increasingly streamlined in last 10 years e.g. Huge improvement in passport application/renewal

4. Investing heavily in physical infrastructure. E.g About 36 KM/day is getting added as National Highways [1]

5. Biggest Tax Reform called GST in last 50 years. The implementation is shaky but improving.

6. Incentivising production in India called PLI scheme. It received huge response [2]

As far as startups are concerned, the sentiment here (at least for me) is "we-can-also-do-this" and "we-can-be-the-best". This uptick in confidence is palpable (again where I am standing)

10 years ago, I would have never imagined electric scooters/cars being designed (and not just manufactured) in India [3]

>A platform's total capabilities matter, because there will be links to the edges of its capabilities. If you have a blog over Gopher, you probably aren't going to link to a JavaScript-heavy site, because an author posting over Gopher is more likely to be ideologically-opposed to JavaScript. If you have a blog over HTTP, you probably are.

No I don't agree. If you have a HTTP blog where you go on tirades about how Javascript is bad, you probably won't post links to web sites that use Javascript either. I've seen people who actually do this. It's the same thing, there's no value added by using another platform which has nothing to do with it. You know you can also put HTTP links in a gopher site, and vice versa? They're just text. Either way you have no way of knowing what kind of links the blogger will share until you actually read the blog.

What you're more concerned about is actually the intention and motives of the blog operator, not the platform. If you believe Gopher is good at being an indicator of that because by this point it's become very insular and self-contained and all the users are bitter about outside things, I've also seen HTTP blog communities that are that way too. Gopher sites are not the only places where you can find blog rings. Hope that's helpful to your activities.

This seems like more of an issue with porting an existing language than creating a new one. With the “can write to the file system” example, you would only need one version of a “writeJSON” function, for example, because writing without write access is nonsensical. Then you’d specify exactly what you need through these constraints, and if they weren’t met, you couldn’t call the function. This already exists and works well when it comes to const-correctness in a language like C++. You can’t call a non-const method from a const one, for example, and this doesn’t lead to multiple versions of each function, because if a function mutates state, you know that it will never be able to be called from a const method.

Nobody has torn down any community center. The old community center with all the old chairs are still there, forever archived in case anyone wants to keep using them. I don't think you can say the patrons are happy either, otherwise they wouldn't keep complaining about the new community center that they've professed they don't even want to visit.
China had administered more than 2 billion doses of vaccines using alum based adjuvant. This combined with the very low level of prior infection is theoretically the perfect breeding ground for a different serotype of Covid. Time will tell of this turns out to be the case
I don't buy that the outside world misread Putin, at least that governments misread him.

The question is what they could and were willing to do. Political, geopolitical, and self-interests constraints meant that the answer has been "nothing or little". But it's easier to claim that he was "misread".

Australia: 6.6k deaths, 25M population, 0.03% dead

US: 1M deaths, 300M people, 0.3% dead.

On the other hand, Australia's had most of their deaths recently and is still going, while the US deaths were mostly earlier. So the gap will likely narrow over time.
It's more about the restriction against quitting to work on your own thing, because you have to be gainfully employed by a company with a few restrictions such as the field. I know several people in the States who are miffed about that in particular, and are considering returning (or moving to Canda, where getting a PR is significantly easier) for that reason alone.
Not many ux savy people in OSS and there is no single vision being implemented. It's a bunch of people with different ideas trying to agree with each other.

I would say the main problem is that people are mostly Devs and they care more about implementing "this one thing" for themselves instead of thinking about users.
It makes sense, it's OSS, you can't expect people to work for free.

KDE somehow gets a lot of things right functionally but the design of the default theme contains very basic mistakes (eg. padding) and several interactions are cumbersome and seems to be there solely to justify tech work that someone wanted (eg. activities widgets and panels on the desktop).
I think the pinnacle was KDE 3.

Gnome 2 actually got a lot of things right but was very low on features. They threw away a lot of it with Gnome 3.

That said, I find Mac OS to be pretty bad, UX wise, I generally install Arch Linux + KDE on my Mac devices.

In terms of functionality, if you have supported HW you won't have many problems.
Distro take a bunch of terrible decision for political reasons (eg. adopting pulseaudio and systemd as standards) and those are generally the things that will hurt you - but that won't be that much worse compared to your typical Mac OS upgrade (eg. removing python2 in Monterey - who the f approved that?).

I wish there was a company developing a paid OS that works with a custom UI, I would definitely pay for that.
Maybe one for the system76 people or similar.
I think his narrative contradicts pretty much everyone's media--Russian, Ukrainian, American, etc. His account is a bit jumbled as he throws in a lot of details, but plenty of those details are things I've read about elsewhere, so it's nice to see them put together. Note, I don't think he is really trying to defend Russia. I think he is making the point that nobody is as innocent as they are trying to appear.

This can be compatible with my approach of not lying. I think as long as it's the least misleading way to answer the question then it's ok in most casual cases.

I've been having this myself just having moved to Texas. People ask where we're from and we most recently moved from California but my wife and I both have a long history of living in many places. I feel people want a simple answer but it's hard to give one that gives them the right idea.
And even better management is burning that for productive purposes (like running the garbage trucks)!
I wonder if this would become a problem for Facebook. They might end up with a monoculture that doesn't really accord with the outside world. Mind you I suppose all technology companies are at risk of that.
Is “uses novel resume format” really a criteria for the role you’re hiring for? Will the candidate be designing novel resumes throughout their time in the role?

If not, disregarding candidates who just put their experience on a “plain” resume is cutting out a massive chunk of viable candidates so you can signal that you think your roles are above “plain” resumes.
I'm far too stupid to understand everything but I keep getting reminded of the Chronon Field Theory when reading. They seem to agree on how gravity forms, that are no masses or particles, only observable "events" and "event density" (for gravity). Observation as interpreting reality, our ability to only measure collapsed wave functions, interpretation of time frames, etc. A "universe" or "system" that is observing itself. Both systems lend themselves well towards understanding the universe and life as just a complex but computable automata. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when different metaphysical systems overlap but there feels like a lot of overlap here.

Just a small pet peeve of mine: do mosquitoes bite or sting?
> So the gap will likely narrow over time.

No. Most of the early deaths occured because people didn't get some vaccine immunity before getting their first infection. Most people in Australia were vaccinated before their first infection thereby lowering the death rate.
Suppose a company that currently sees $0 from skincare market wants to have 90% marketshare in skincare in short order.
How you can tell if the data you're collecting is PII? I guess there are many definitions of PII, but I generally base my own understanding on the GDPR definition:

> ‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
The logistical system that grew with the area has been disrupted by the lockdown. The primary final link was probably people going to stores and restaurants to get food, which they currently aren't allowed to do.

A logical fallacy isn't a "feeling", it's a short hand for identifying a poor use of logic, you should be able to directly explain the flaw you see in the other posters reasoning.
I can also imagine that it minimises the tail-risk, because a human can come and fix it. If he would not be there and a critical error occurs, it could take down the whole factory in time before help arrives (maybe even something trivial as a misplaced item on the belt).

Yeah, I'm not saying this is a silver-bullet that works in all cases, but some use cases do work better with it. For example, if said form shows one question at a time without any backend requests being done between questions, you could do one last try to log which question the user dropped off at.

But again, no silver-bullet.

There should definitely be more exploration of latency in the software that we use. Here's a really nice article about it from a while back, about typing in particular: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/

In particular, this image offers a nice comparison of some newer and older pieces of software: https://pavelfatin.com/images/typing/editor-latency-windows-...

That said, typing isn't everything, but there are stark differences even in something so basic.

I don't think I have come across any one religion which imagines the afterlife as anything resembling the physical existence, on the contrary: the afterlife is usually pictured as something opposite, and eternal and exalted existence vs the earthly, ephemeral one.

One might actually expect there to be an objection to transhumanism on these grounds. But I haven't given that much thought honestly - I'm not religious.

Don't worry, Dall-E adds these coloured squares to the bottom right corner, so you will always know that an image is AI-generated. (/s)
Having used DALL-E 2 a little bit I can tell you that the AI must have been given more than just the twitter bio to consistently produce images in this style. The AI can produce a ton of different styles, from photo-realistic to Monet to Saturday morning cartoons. The author here almost certainly requested something like “A Twitter bio picture for a user with the bio [bio] in a [style] style”
I think popups on page load are more of a symptom of short-term, myopic thinking than anything else. This type of thinking is strongly encouraged by always trying to live up to quarterly projections - "Did Sales meet their targets?"

Popups exchange long-term trust in your brand for short-term profits. Of course it's the case that if you pop a modal in front of everyone, your conversion stats will go up. But potential life-time customers who have faith in your brand and believe in your mission will lose trust in you quickly and probably never sign up in the first place.

For me, it always comes down to the primary rule of UX: if you wouldn't do it IRL, don't do it online.

You can ask for someone's email if they look like they're interested in something you're selling, but don't ask for it the moment they enter your store!

I think they will definitely not envy us.

Either we'll escape a technological dystopia, recover our dignity

suppose (fear or wish?) is coming, there won't be any "envy". That

I would like to take a tangent here and discuss your question on whether the opinion would be the same if it was on a museum. I hear that argument very often and it is based on a deep misunderstanding of what an art exhibition is. The main point missed is this: An art exhibition is a ”curated” event; it is almost as much about the person who arranged the event as it is about the artists themselves. There is a meaning to what you are seeing that was intended by the curator. The point you tried to make (as so many others have also tried) is based on an assumption that you could take any random work of art and put it in a museum and it would be judged solely by its ”artistic” (i.e. ”plastic”) merits. It can’t be and won’t be like that. When you go into a museum you trust the curator that what you are seeing has a meaning that goes beyond that. Every piece of meaningful art is surrounded by a context. You can’t put a few colored squares up on a museum and expect it to be treated like a Mondrian. I’m not saying you should just swallow everything that the curator shows you, discussions can and should happen. But the point remains that art cannot be judged out of context. As much as I hate NFTs and stuff like bored apes, I have to admit that the apes themselves are much more than random machine-created childish drawings; society has made them more than that, and I can appreciate that. Whether it’s art or not, it remains to be seen, but I have a hunch that this same thing was discussed when Andy Warhol put a banana in a white canvas.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, speaking about Putin's rise to power in the documentary Citizen K -

> "It seemed to me that, ideologically, he was one of our people. A man of our generation, who gets it, who wants to push Russia in the same direction that we want for it. That is towards openness, towards democracy.

Boy was I mistaken.

He's a very talented KGB guy. Very talented. You like leftists? Putin will behave around you in a way that you will be convinced that he's a leftist. You like nationalists? Putin is going to act around you in a way that you'll think that he's a bit of a nationalist. You like conservatives? Talk to him and you will get an impression that he's a conservative.

That's a talent."

That is true, but most tech folks live in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune and can skip bad infra part. For residential there are premium societies and here office spaces are build like hotels.

For transport there are metros(ongoing in Bangalore) . Roads are only unavoidable bad infra.

It’s not just the Linux distro itself, but firmware and hardware integration as well.

The blame for this lies with PC hardware manufacturers, and their least-effort approach to integration (which also affects Windows to a lesser degree). The degree of laziness (partly driven by low-margin, tight-deadline project timelines) can make one’s head spin.

Apple simply executes better / different.
And by excess death numbers, the US probably already had that many deaths before the time Australia locked down. The world acted too late to not let the cat out of the bag. Australia definitely avoided a lot of impact by locking down and starting locked down, but it was happenstance and geography that allowed it to do so semi-effectively
Personally, I don’t enjoy nearly as much as I did when I was 4.
Yeah, this is bullshit. Even with no knowledge of China or Shanghai whatsoever you should know this is bullshit. There were very few jumpers in New York on September 11th. Most people don’t kill themselves in the face of certain death by burning or a building falling. Mass suicide wasn’t a thing in extermination camps like Auschwitz. Religiously motivated instances of mass suicide rely on peer pressure mechanisms that don’t function when everyone’s in their damned apartment.

Also there’s no hint of this in any of the group chats I’m in and given I’m in Shanghai that would be big local news. Censorship doesn’t work well or fast when people have nothing to do except gossip.
