It's a personal statement from someone with relevant lived experience. Exploring others' viewpoints is interesting, if only to find out that they exist. The article touches on questions that do not currently have an objective answer: Why do people do the things they do? Should they be doing something different? Science may someday provide an objective ("substantive") answer to the first, but it can't choose our goals (make value judgments) for us, so articles like this are valuable. And social media works a lot better for opinion-based than objective discourse because everyone can participate on equal footing.

Apple Photos has been terrible for dealing with huge amounts of photos, that’s why I stopped using it. Meanwhile iMazing works perfectly for transferring the photos, and then I keep them in plain old folders.
I use caps2esc [1] in Linux to remap capslock to ctrl on hold and esc on tap. It's such a simple yet insanely useful remapping! It really shines in modal editing (e.g. vim). I assume it's possible to use the underlying interception tools [2] to do that for any key without needing a particular programmable keyboard.

One of the first things I do on new computers is download a macro software (i.e AutoHotkey(1)) to remap troublesome keys on normal keyboards. The quick list I have going on this particular laptop:
a) numlock always off(on?)
b) remap right alt to be 'function' key for the f keys that double as volume up/down/mute
c) remap '%' to be ctrl+`, as I use it quite often for autocomplete in a DB front-end

People have a really weird definition of "need". Nobody needs Facebook. A handful of things might be moderately more difficult without Facebook, but not impossible. I bet if Facebook started charging $1000/hour to use, people would suddenly find it is in fact not really a necessity of life and would somehow find an alternate way to contact their families.
This might just be a word choice thing, I think I took issue with it being labeled the answer -- Schoenberg didn't want it to be considered definitive, but merely useful.

An overarching theme of the book was his philosophy that no eternal aesthetic laws were known to exist, so he was careful not to make definitive claims unless he could really be sure about them.
I think a lot of millennial nerds grew up with the internet that a lot of their peers did not in many ways, but with gen Z grew up with the internet wether they liked it or not. We are the pioneers that created a lot of this cultural landscape. So millennial nerds feel closer to gen z in this way than other millennials do.

We also developed a cultural immune system to a lot of the bad shit of the internet, like “don’t feed the trolls” and now seeing the rest of the world learn this immune system badly and slowly makes us say ‘oh no’.

Yeah, consensus changes. Especially when new evidence and new ideas arise. That shows that scientific consensus is working.

If the scientific consensus threatens assets and income of powerful industries they run massive lobbying and ad campaigns against it and try to interfere with the scientific process itself by funding biased studies.

Pretending like the people that exaggerate the effect of climate change are a comparable issue is dishonest and not backed by facts. Classic false symmetry fallacy.

Also, the scientific consensus is conditional: If we emit like this, then that will happen. The IPCC report doesn't predict a certain amount of warming.

Agreed that centrists (or more precisely, "moderate Democrats") are more aligned to Clinton/Obama wing, but the idea that Clinton/Obama are the identitarians rather than the progressive wing (Warren, AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, Omar, etc) is beyond belief. Clinton and Obama might've capitalized on their identities in pandering to the progressive wing, but that's the point: the identity stuff is coming from the far left side of the party which is absolutely breathless about identity stuff (Sanders here is the exception to the rule). On more than one occasion, Obama explicitly cautioned against left wing identity extremism while "The Squad" cheerleaded the BLM riots. Do you think Warren, AOC, Omar, etc are really "moderate Democrats" or do you disagree that they are committed identitarians?
I’m so glad everyone is finally laying off of the millenials

Labor will only get more expensive if:

1. We are too restrictive on immigration

2. Politicians keep pushing to hand out freebies for votes. Stealing the gift of purpose and motivation from many. Forcing them to be state dependents who live troubled, meaningless lower middle class lives in perpetuity.
So you found a concept that didn’t come naturally to you. If you are as successful at this field as you want us to believe, you would probably have learned by now that all technologies click differently for different people depending on the context they bring in when learning it.

I can’t imagine taking myself so seriously that I would write a comment like this. This is an opportunity for self reflection more than a lesson worth sharing about Nix.
I really like going full mise en place when I cook. I go through the ingredients, and anything that can't be very easily measured on demand (not 1 tsp, for example, but I would do 1.5 cups), I measure out and chop into its own temporary container. Then when I move to the preparation, I've removed all the stress from the process.

I used to freak out about not making extra dishes, but who cares. I have a dishwasher. It take 20 seconds to throw 3-5 small bowls on the top rack.
Hey, you sound like you know what you’re doing.

What I am struggling with : I feel like the two use cases are so distinct that it would confuse users to have them one the same landing page.

Why do you think that one landing page is better than two?

But even if I have separate landing pages, i still need to figure out how to put it all on one shop page without confusing people.
This is absolutely true, but I do not think it is merely limited to audiophile gear.

The thing is, I don’t think overpriced audiophile gear is really that awful, its just awful value. The adage that there are no bad products, only bad prices is obviously flawed, BUT, sometimes it really is just bad prices.

This cable is probably pretty good. For the price, it ought to be, because even the best cable money can buy would probably leave a fat margin at this price.

Likewise, good mechanical keyboards can sell for a lot. Thousands. It’s no freakin joke. Maybe the prices haven’t gotten as meaninglessly inflated as audiophile gear, but it’s in a similar order of magnitude imo. We’re only talking about the extremes after all; a good pair of Audio Technicas is never going to be a ripoff, but that doesn’t mean someone around the corner isn’t trying to sell snake oil.

Maybe audiophile gear really is different, but if it is I suspect it has something to do with the audience its marketed for and where the money comes from rather than an inherent difference in the markets.
5's pretty young. Building standard lego was what i was doing at that age. Building things as complex as possible to try and outdo my older brother.

I would probably make the connection if we are talking about very commonly used words, or if I knew what to look out for. In this case, I am not terribly familiar with that mountain range, so I probably wouldn't make the connection by myself.

We have 3 different "special" letters in Norwegian, all of which have their own "latinifications", so it can sometimes be difficult to see when it has been done. (ø to o, æ to ae/a/e, å to a/aa)

Incidentally, Kjolen and Kjølen are both nouns of their own. (kjolen means "the dress" as in what a woman could wear. kjølen can mean "the fridge" as in "put something in the fridge"/"put something in a cool place")

In some places people have centuries of social-structure adaptation to deal with the stress of being systematically oppressed (by local elites, colonial overlords, ...).

E.g. money gets shielded by community institutions (such as local religious organizations) that are harder for elites to steal from than individual peasants, and then those act as a kind of social safety net in hard times. Extended families/clans build social bonds through e.g. marriage and baptism, and help each-other.

Often there are severe social problems in rural peasant societies: alcoholism, domestic violence, seasonal migrant labor keeping people away from home much of the year, corruption, ..., but people have also learned to be tough vs. some kinds of outside threats. But large waves in the world economy (or a large natural disaster or the like) also can overwhelm those defenses.

With apologies to Antoine de St. Exupery; if you want to build a better system, don't drum up Jira tickets to gather user stories, make sprints and divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for a system that's not total bullshit.

Simply complaining is tiresome. Writing a well-reasoned internal blog post that explains the faults, gets traction for improving things, and gets people excited for your brave new world, even though it's not arrived yet; that blog post is what engineering leadership looks like.

I think the thing is we used to search for content, e.g. go to programming forum, specific language sub-forum, specific topic sub-sub forum, etc.

now we have "feeds", infinite scrolling of content we never asked for, paywalls and cookie popups.

I feel like the solution would be complete backend/frontend separation. imagine reddit as being only a comments database, your user is an api key and the website is just one of many frontends displaying queries on that database. right now we have only one frontend pushing whatever "the algorithm" thinks is optimized. but maybe then we will have freedom.
Z-Nazi nuns and nurses. More or less, just not fixated on jews. My empathy for Russians declines daily, it seems - they had decades to work things out but seem to have decided that klepocratic autarchy was good enough, or was someone else's problem. Want to be more like North Korea? Do as Russians do.

Megalomaniacs shouldn't be involved in potential nuclear war. The US has proposed structured human-in-the-loop treaties to require that nuclear weapons not be automated, but China and Russia have both refused. A few bad cosmic bit flips and unintended nuclear war is possible. Putin's swan dive into Ukraine should underline the need for change. Humanity is toast if we're going to play stupid nuclear brinksmanship games every couple decades.

A great trick to make an old pattern sound like news is to present an age-related phenomenon as a generation-related phenomenon. "Teenagers are acting like teenagers" can't be spun as news, but "Gen Z is acting like teenagers" can be.

> The fundamental design of Ansible is that you do imperative steps to reach an end state.

No, the fundamental design of configuration management systems (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt, CFEngine) is that they are declarative. You say "this software should be installed, this user should exist, these files should have these contents and permissions, etc" and they figure out the right steps to take on your OS to move from the current state to your desired end state.

You are right though that they can produce unexpected results since they do not describe the entire system from the ground up.
Empowering domain-experienced QAs paired with dev to track down gnarly production issues, augmented with sharp tools, would be amazing. A stack trace graphed against time, able to navigate among service-interaction "layers," replayable on command.
It’s transparent, fast, and easy to forget it’s on. I wish Apple would place a more obvious indicator regarding its status in safari. It gets flipped off when joining a wifi network with captive portal for example. Sadly not enabled in third party apps where in my opinion is much more needed for hiding IP addresses.

Seems like a good tech for the average user to gain some privacy over navigating the web directly, but by no means a privacy tool for anybody with more serious privacy needs.
Much of psychoacoustics was derived from the observation of human hearing. It's not a matter of theorizing from first principles, because the reality on the ground is far more complex. Which is not to say that useful modeling is not possible, just that the scope of such models is necessarily unclear.
Article 7 is pretty non-specific and does not discuss defaults. Recital 32, however, is quite specific and gives me the answer I was looking for https://gdpr.eu/recital-32-conditions-for-consent/

As an immigrant, no matter how many times the story about problems of work and wealth inequality and similar theme being brought up, I could never sympathize with it.

I think I was raised in the time and place where working just doesn't ever get the luxuries of life. For example, working as a plumber and can afford 2 1/2 kids, a house and a car, that is always impossible. At least in my country. I think America is an anomaly for that such of things to happen. I kept wondering whether that was because America itself is outsourcing their inequalities to outside world, because they won the war.

So to me, today's situation is just a reversion to the norm. Being a mere plumber with 2 1/2 kids in college and with a house and a car is never realistic to begin with. This type of situation was just a good times event, and only happen due to some abnormalities. But it is abnormality.

I mean, the history of the world has shown that feudalism is the default choice. People can never be equal. People aren't born equal. Some people are born stronger, faster, smarter, more beautiful, etc. Equality seems to be just abnormalities. An unstable form. The stable form is feudalism.

The problem with this narrative is that the job of the father isn't specified. He could've been a plumber/electrician/welder who would do really well in the current market. These jobs pay well above the minimum wage.

The world has changed - simple labor that requires a few days of training doesn't pay much. Most jobs, with few exceptions, that require a decade of training, do pay well. That's why there's such a huge gap between Amazon packers and electricians, and an even bigger gap with surgeons.

If you want to do well in the modern economy, you have to choose your specialization wisely. Most simple labor will be automated very soon anyway.

When I look at single family zoning I don't believe what you said one bit. A lot of people think it is their right to keep people out of locations where "all the jobs" are.

The fact that jobs concentrate in the bay area is just as much part of urban planning as preventing people from moving there. If people truly wanted to stop people from moving to their location all they would have to do is say no to commercial real estate but that is not what they do.
hi normille, what is with zoho and utf-8? i am planning to go there and so far it seems to be really nice ... ?! appreciate any details here!
I’m a millennial and I feel the same way, but I think a lot of this is due to a privileged position we have in the labor force. It’s the whitest of white color jobs. We’re still exploited as any trade, but it’s easier to be an architect or a lawyer than it is to be a construction worker. Especially over time and with contradictions sharpening as they are.

Really? Why can I, at over 40, blindly the difference between $200 Beats and $80 Koss headphones? Theres no amount of equalizer that can make up for the low quality drivers that simply fail to emit quality mids. That fail to emit clean sounds below a certain DB threshold.

Yeah, your ears change over time - you will lose sensitivity. That, however, will not make crap headphones or speakers suddenly sound good. It just means you want headphones or speakers that match up well with your current hearing.
> All this soap gets discarded into a landfill.

Commercial entities have to pay for their waste to be taken away where I am so they make at least some feeble attempts at reducing waste. Just rack up the price of landfill until no one will pay to use it or just forbid landfill for pretty much everything and you will solve that problem and generate business opportunities for new solutions.
