That was the bulk of the article... The glass wasn't the problem, it was indicative of greater problems. The author even says ``A dish by the sink in no way feels painful or disrespectful to a spouse who wakes up every day and experiences a marriage partner who communicates in both word and action how important and cherished their spouse and relationship are.''

They had communication issues, but it wasn't anything huge, it was all small cuts like the glass by the sink, or the socks casually left at the foot of the bed, letting the trash bin overfill... All these little things that display a casual air of thoughtlessness.

Translation: Nothing came up on a Google search, and going to the library and looking in a book is hard.

I see this more and more often these days. Bloggers claiming that there is no known origin for something, or inventing their own histories based on nothing more than internet searches.

The internet is vast, but 99.9% of the world's history and information is not online for free.
This isn't about the dishes. The dishes are just a symptom of the unequal divide of emotional labour in most relationships. Even in relationships where both parents work full time more often than not the majority of the mental and physical burden of running the house tends to fall onto the woman. Of course this isn't an absolute, but it does tend to hold true.

You can see this at the outbreak of COVID where many women had to step back from jobs because they suddenly had a massively increased load of child care that by default fell onto their shoulders.

The article is about someone coming to the realization of the ugly situation they are putting their spouse into, one that is extremely common. Don't try and devalue that by turning it into a "both sides" debacle.
I'd say that the whole "can't put dishes into sink for years" is but a tip of an iceberg, and the main part of it is "can't be bothered to pay attention for years". I suspect that such a breakdown in communication must be felt pervasively, but can't be described as easily, and likely most instances are too intimate to disclose publicly.

If a bridge is under unsustainable strain, a single rivet failure can lead to a catastrophic collapse of the whole thing, even though everything just looked okay a moment ago.

Doubt is good.

I am allergic to certainty. When I interact with people who 100% believe that they are correct about something, that is unsettling.

As I rapidly approach my 71st birthday, I know that I make mistakes and sometimes misunderstand things based on a lifetime of self observation.

It is also so very much more important to examine our own lives and decisions rather than those of other people.

I think problems occur when people view their own self worth as dependent on their intelligence or being “right.” Self worth comes from being a loving person.

Marriage is like kids. What does it expect? Blood.

I remember a guy who planned to join the Marines when I was a kid. Every time I saw him he was doing push-ups. All the time. A neighbor - who was ex-military or maybe even a Marine himself - told me that was all well and good but had limited utility. If you go can do 100 push-ups when you go through boot camp they'll make you do 110. They want blood.
Not the same person. But you're right. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
“Older people and unvaccinated people made up the vast majority of fatalities during the week. Data from the Department of Health and Human Services shows that almost 80 percent of deaths during the week of Jan. 30 were adults aged 65 and older, and HHS data for the first four weeks of January also showed that each week unvaccinated people died at a rate 8 to 10 times higher than that of vaccinated people when adjusted for age and population”

Nim is mostly inspired by the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family, notably in its type system. The only thing it took from python (arguably) is the indentation-based block syntax.

Programming in Nim actually "feels" quite different from python to me, due to things like a much lighter OOP system (that is somewhat discouraged), the type system, and UFCS, though it "looks" like python at first glance.

Freezer bread is only the same as never-frozen bread if you toast it. Otherwise it tastes odd and there's really no good way to defrost it quickly. I don't always want toast.

Rolls are especially poor in the freezer as they have to first be half defrosted then cut then toasted and even then the top has a slightly odd taste, probably due to the thickness. Of course, I'll still stick them in there rather than wasting them, I'll just be miffed about it.

I use minimal in the sense of the smallest number of primitive proper combinators [1]. Thanks for pointing out that Joy is similarly minimal.

Do you know of any concatenative language without quoting?

I find combinary languages simpler than concatenative ones, since the former uses only application as a composition mechanism, whereas the latter uses both concatenation and grouping with [].

People across the government-corporate spectrum are now fully aware that if they train 'self-learning algorithms' on biased data sets then those algorithms will adopt those biases. Such people seem to believe they can then get away with blaming the algorithm for the outcome while avoiding any legal responsibility themselves.

On the positive side more and more people are generally aware of how this works. Criminal investigators need to look at the people who selected the datasets that were used to train the algorithms, they're the ones who bear responsibilty.

Another issue that contributed to this scandal is that the rules for benefits (not just social benefits) are often such that you have to request it up front at the beginning of the year, but if at the end of the year it turns out that your situation changed midway and you no longer had the (full) right to the benefit, you have to pay it back along with a fine. It's really easy to not be aware of this.

>A lot of this feels 'right' and Dalio obviously has proven his investing chops, but I'm a little nervous about the rigor behind these arguments. Can't see any citations in this video - which, fine, most Youtube videos don't - but then the book also lacks citations(!)

I think your confusion is that you're seeing this video for it's top layer.

The USA took over as world order leader in the 1900s to 1950s or so. Wherein each empire has a parabolic curve.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1

Where in that parabolic curve is the USA? It's still pre-top according to an actual source. It's not post-top like Dalio suggests. Debt levels might suggest the USA is getting to their top.

In fact look at that space between the grey recessions. 2009->2020 was a good run. However, what happened there? 8 years of wealth redistribution under Obama. Ray Dalio says that's exactly how to prevent the inevitable pop. Biden just printed how much money for wealth redistribution? That's what ray dalio specifically recommended.

What's another recommendation in the empire game? Education. What do you think happened in the last 10 years? People are smarter today because of the internet and their phone in their pocket. This has already been seen as revolutionary in education.

The USA isn't over their peak. Ray Dalio knows that's true. Now think again about what this video really said.
In my first job after college, I shared a cubicle with another worker. For whatever reasons, our desks were next to each other, rather than spaced out. I wanted to rotate my desk 90 degrees and had mentioned this to my manager. In a near panic, he asked if I'd moved anything. I hadn't moved anything, so he told me the proper procedure to move the desk.

I put in the request and about 3 weeks later, two people came to move the desk. I'd already unplugged any wiring, so one guy simply picked it up and rotated it. At that point, I found out my network cable (this is in the days before WiFi) for my PC was too short to reach the new desk location. I had to put in another request for wiring, and had to wait a week and a half for someone to come with a longer cable. During that time, I sat on the floor, with my monitor sitting on my chair. While installing the new cable, he asked if I'd unplugged the previous cable before the desk move. When I told him yes, he told me not to worry and that he wouldn't note that, but that I shouldn't do it again.

While I totally understand work rules that exist to ensure that workers aren't being made to perform duties that they're not contracted for AND to prevent companies from simply doing end-runs around them, when things reach this level of absurdity, it really sours things. Of course, the nature of "contract" is that common sense is hard to dictate and it does open the slippery slope. "I was just moving the desk in my cube" becomes "I was just moving the desk to the cube next door" to "I was just moving it on the same floor" etc.

Independence of the media seems to be rapidly deteriorating. Once some idiots decided that “misinformation” caused things like Brexit, they acquiesced to the state’s desire to arrogate all media reporting, because, after all, letting people make up their own minds clearly wasn’t working. The coverage of the war in Ukraine is the ultimate exemplar of this, and alarming because it’s not as if the average Western citizen has any stake in it, any vote to cast.
> I now understand that when I left that glass there, it hurt my wife—literally causing pain—because it felt to her as if I had just said, “Hey. I don’t respect you or value your thoughts and opinions. Not taking four seconds to put my glass in the dishwasher is more important to me than you are.”

I think that here lies the issue. Is this the only way that you show that you value their thoughts / opinions? If so, the problem was never with the cups. If not, then this is how you comfort / reassure your partner and not "lets agree to disagree." From that place you have a conversation where you both figure out how to best make the both of you happy. E.g. "we'll get a special/specific cup which looks like it belongs in this area and you can leave it here as long as its empty and only use that cup." There are always various compromises that can be made as long as you have that conversation and are both looking for the best for each other.

In America, public schools all have private libraries, reserved for attending students. (Maybe some operate as public libraries, but I've never seen nor heard of it.)

Furthermore, public libraries are not necessarily free. In America they virtually are all; fees only for late returns. But this is not globally true; in some parts of the world, libraries open to the public charge a fee for checking out books, or even require a fee for entry.
I was once scolded by my uncle for improperly cutting half loaf of bread. I started cutting the bread and when I was in the middle of bread I stopped and cut perpendicularly, thus releasing my half loaf.

Apparently correct way is cutting at angle so that loaf became thin in the center of bread. This way whoever cut bread after me can decide if they want full or half. In my method there is a sudden step which forced you to first cut the leftover half.

This applies for long breads, not round one.
I believe that every financial transaction has the potential to be adversarial, there are many ways outside of investing that the poor are disproportionately exploited (lotteries, debt interest). I think the libertarian perspective is that we shouldn't have protections that prevent people from making personal choices that result in harm to themselves, but only from harming others. I think that transparency for the companies seeking investment, or education of the investors themselves are better ways to restrict investment. Net worth/Income is not a fair criteria.
Not always. When I worked at Target as a receiver, C&S drivers got to choose their routes, but they didn't get to refuse bad loads; we (the driver and the store) just had to deal with pallets falling over.
> Unicode specifically states that it doesn't define the semantics of characters.

The Unicode Standard explicitly says otherwise:

> Characters have well-defined semantics. These semantics are defined by explicitly assigned character properties, rather than implied through the character name or the position of a character in the code tables (see Section 3.5, Properties). [1]

> The Unicode Standard associates a rich set of semantics with characters and, in some instances, with code points. The support of character semantics is required for conformance; see Section 3.2, Conformance Requirements. [2]

To be fair, it refers to "character" semantics which is more or less abstracted by character properties. It is not like that, for example, △ U+25B2 WHITE UP-POINTING TRIANGLE UNICODE CHARACTER can only ever be used for denoting triangles. But it has defined semantics in the way that the character has properties expected for such symbols.

> Which IMHO the European pension system is massively flawed as it's basically a Ponzi scheme

flawed, maybe, it is actually been good for people that strted working in the 50s-60s, but a Ponzi scheme?

I don't see the connection.

Most pension systems in Europe are in balance and have no problem paying the pensions, the only real problem is that the population is growing older but people get their first job much later in life and the age of retirement is not advancing at the same rate of the aging of the population.

Many pensions in my country are contributing to the economy of the family, so they are not going into the pockets of some old grumpy grandparent that lives on the shoulders of the younger generations and spend 9 months/year cruising the Mediterranean sea, having breakfast in Venice, lunch in Split and dinner in Crete.

there's one down the street from me but instead of books it has canned food. It says "little free pantry" on it.

Probably because most Dutch people assume shit like this can't/won't happen to them so it's no biggie that the lives of 5 families were ruined. Even less of an issues for them if some of those families affected were immigrants and not Dutch natives.
Mind you, literally anyone who doesn't fit this mentality in some way (ethnicity, sex, character, etc.) is quickly considered an outsider with problems getting in. You can be a white heterosexual native guy and still struggle because the Dutch mentality doesn't mesh with you personally. Very much because "boozing with other white douchebags" concerns all descriptors.
