IMHO - I think this is where we are really screwing up as a society. We shouldn't need accountants and lawyers just to live our lives. We need lawyers when we are in trouble. Need accountants to keep track of our finances. But should we really need them just to live, do something new in an unknown area?

My personal opinion is that we spend too much on lawyers and accountants. Our society should be optimized to let people focus on their ideas - bring in cash flow - and lift the entire society up when possible.

That said - I'm not sure I have a good solution here. I don't think we should tax income (don't punish people for working). I go back and forth on sales taxes (I kinda like use taxes, but again, that negatively affects a significant amount of the population un-proportionately). A chunk of the world uses VAT. I'm researching VAT closer.

We can make this a more fair, easier to operate in world than we have now. I'm a supporter of that.

The camera quality doesn't look great, even in the promo videos. You'd think a software company can put on some some decent color balance at least. Also the video is very wobbly because it's such a small platform and no gimbal. That can be fixed in large part in software too.

I suppose they're going for the artistically constrained angle, more like a disposable camera.
I used to use jed instead of nano for quick edits, but same idea really. Then one day I realized that "emacs -nw -Q" starts subjectively instantly, and is also immune to a borked configuration ("-Q" skips it). So I just created a short alias for it and use it. Bonus: one can always load all the configuration later if needed.

That doesn't solve point 1 obviously, but then that's never been an issue for me: emacs is always where I need it, and then there's always TRAMP.
In some places that can be a lot of money. Like New York, I hear property taxes are close to half your mortgage. In places like Washington, property taxes amount to a few thousand dollars a year on a modest house. I'll pay that over $2000/mo in rent any time.

If a tweet gets shared enough, its author gets approached by brands who want to pay them to add ads below the tweet. The same probably happens on Reddit, except it's even easier, because anyone can write a review, since the author of a popular post doesn't have a visibility advantage when posting a reply to it.

Just find some random users, and offer to pay them for a good recommendation on some "what is the best product to do X?" post.

> well over 25% of the business income can be attributed to a Californian workforce

The argument is that the company in question had 0 total revenue. If you want to attribute 25% of that to a California source, sure, but it's still $0.

Windows 7. Every version of the OS since then has been such a great disappointment.

It counted those two separate accounts as two users for more than three years.

Feels like they can be technically two users. Is there a strict regulation how they should be counted for tech giants like Twitter?

I find it comical to see you assert, in 3 words, that states shouldn't have the ability to exercise their regulatory powers to protect their citizens on the singular basis that the entity subject to regulations is outside their border.

The real "untenable" thing is proposing that corporations can neuter state laws entirely by the simple act of incorporating in not that state. I'm sure that wouldn't lead to a race to the bottom or anything, the US definitely doesn't already have issues with corporate-owned states or anything

Reference counting is widely considered one strategy of garbage collection (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_s...). For that matter, some GCs that are primarily tracing also use ref counts for some portion of the heap, as an optimization (just as some primarily refcounting GCs also run a trace to clean up cycles).

Also, reference counting can certainly result in pauses, when large graphs of interconnected objects are reclaimed. On the upside, you know when a pause might happen. You still don't know for certain without explicitly keeping track of what is about to be freed, which would add additional overhead, and indeed may not be practical or even feasible.
To be clear I'm not saying that Georgist taxes are based on the mortgage value I know they are not. I'm comparing the two quantities to establish a rough estimation of how expensive property in a Georgist society that provided a similar level of services would be. If government needed to generate a certain amount of tax revenue comparable to current tax revenue they likely need to charge homeowners an average tax on their unimproved land value that would roughly amount to 15+% of the value of the mortgage, across all levels of government.
I quickly skimmed the post rock playlist, and I highly recommend the band Tides From Nebula, which isn't on that list. "Higgs Boson" or "Tragedy of Joseph Merrick" would be two songs to easily get hooked on as a fan of the genre.

This has been talked about for decades, and it's always the same story: expose your child to music, or have them learn to play an instrument, because it'll make them smarter![0] Why can't we for once say that if you expose your child to music, and give them an opportunity to learn an instrument, they'll be more able to enjoy and understand music, and have a skill that can give them joy through their entire life? Not everything has to be about intelligence and success; some things can just be about pleasure and joy.

Uceprotect: When RBLs Go Bad
Author here. I'm now the lead engineer on Cloudflare Workers, and we use Cap'n Proto pretty heavily. The Workers team actively maintains and improves the Cap'n Proto C++ implementation.

With that said, outside of C++, the story is admittedly not as great. Go and Rust have decent implementations but are less-actively maintained at the moment. Other implementations are in various states of usability but many of them were projects that random people did for fun and then moved on from...

So, unfortunately, I am not sure I'd recommend Cap'n Proto for a project that has components in languages other that C++/Go/Rust right now, unless you're ready to actively participate in maintaining (and maybe building) the implementation for your language of choice.
"Whether it's a waste of time or not, I don't think it really impedes the serious math learners."

I thought about this for a bit. Suppose we kept the number of teachers (or courses) fixed, but eliminated the gen-ed math requirement. You would end up with a better teacher : student ratio, and I believe this would benefit the serious math learners. And so by not doing this, I believe we may be implicitly impeding them.

My guess is there are lots of ways wasted resources (and I do believe any class which could be perceived as "rocks for jocks"-type is wasted resources, and may actually be a damaging use of resources - I say this as a TA for the pre-major courses*, where the students are constantly and overwhelmingly negative about the whole thing) are implicitly impeding the serious students.

(And, as a positive note, I think the students not characterized as "serious students" for the above discussion could have a chance at meaningful and valuable contribution elsewhere, if we weren't putting so much effort into wasting their time.)

Edit: Changed "lower level courses" to "pre-major courses"
Well, if you don't know the structure of a resource ahead of time but know that it has a status.ready, I would think that would be a candidate for a generic? I haven't explored that much yet, but in retrospect I might even be able to convert
all objects to a struct that has only status.ready without generics.

I've only been in the ecosystem 6 months, but yeah larger abstractions are difficult too.

I'm not a fan of the lack of sub-classing. I like writing a base class and concrete one, and it's quite difficult in Go unless you want to make everything an interface.
Tone matters a lot. Just being strictly, technically correct does not get much far, specially in these times. Its funny that author put in scathing, personalized review of Go but then act surprised that some Go fans took that personally.

At least in Go case it is just random Go fans dismissing criticism. Go authors do not jump in to defend language at every internet posting. This is absolutely not the case with Rust where committers just pop-in everywhere language/ecosystem is criticised.
Japanese property values are reasonable because their zoning is decided at the national level and local residents have next to 0 power to stop people from building things in properly zoned areas.
Out of curiosity (not much experience with Actor systems), do these systems solve a different problem than having disparate processes communicate by sticking a distributed message queue between them? From my naive point of view it seems like alot of the scaling and fault tolerance concerns nowadays can be solved in any language, by having a queue be the interface between two services.

Same question applies to Erlang, which I realize is not exactly an actor system as per the below comment, and has a much more sophisticated error recovery story with supervisors, but the general question holds.
It sounds like you enjoy Go. That is great. I am referring to TFA/post which sounds similar to many experiences with Go.

Of course all languages have pros and cons. I am referring to the specific situation where people are expecting a modern language and ecosystem heavily influenced by its user community. Go is not such a language. People should have different expectations.

> The history of language design is the history of people making decisions about how to design their language, and then discovering that the decision had unintended consequences, like, five or ten years later.

I agree completely, which is why it is so surprising that people adopted Go when it seemed to learn very little from history.

Has Musk ever gotten in trouble with Twitter?

He certainly gets in trouble with the SEC for what he says on Twitter, but buying Twitter won't fix that.

Perhaps he's been self-censoring, though it seems unlikely to me. I can't imagine what he feels he can't say without getting banned, but is nonetheless legal. He doesn't seem to think all that much before he opens his virtual mouth and inserts his virtual foot.
Just wait until you realize what states can do with filial responsibility. Your parent could be living in PA and run up a care bill at a nursing or living facility. Then even if you live in another state, they can stick you with the bill. You're not under their jurisdiction, nor do you have the power to force your parent to move to another state. You have no choices, no power.

Which I raised in the antecedent post.

I did not write that Boeing "did not have to" have dual sensor input. I said if they did have dual sensor input, and had done the other changes to the software, in my not-so-humble opinion additional simulator training would have been entirely unnecessary.

The other question I have is why two sets of pilots did not understand what the STAB TRIM CUTOFF switch was for, despite it being in a very prominent position on the console and is supposed to be a "memory item", meaning the pilot should not have to look it up in an emergency. That indicates inadequate training, whether the airplane had MCAS or not.

Keep in mind that the first MCAS incident, which is never mentioned by the press, landed safely because the crew simply turned off the misbehaving trim system. That crew didn't even seem particularly concerned about it after they landed.
Our tiny remote-only startup is based out of Texas. We've been in business one way or another for about 3 decades now. We still have yet to hire a single employee who resides in the state of California (or NY).

It would be if we added way more tritium. We are adding a very small amount compared to what is already there naturally and even that will decay away.
I played with Rocket and some other one - maybe "Better"? - but the rates they had were the same as a "full service" lender I've used before once everything was taken into account.

In the end all of these companies resell their mortgages to the big banks and so the amounts are very similar. It's all in how they get their fees: up front or behind or in points.
My day job is as a JavaScript engineer, mostly doing React and Node. Some PHP which I never used before.

Last year during the pandemic I started to work on a side project, I picked Laravel because I heard a lot of good things, and having used Django in the past I know the value these frameworks provide. I'm building it using the "tall stack" [1] and it is just wonderful. The best part is not having to take 1000 decisions every second about what library or how to do this, or how to do that. Everything already has a place, and I can focus the little time I have to actually building what I want to build.

My experience is from gliders, which are only operated in VFR conditions (not more than 30 minutes before sunrise and not more than 30 minutes after sundown).
VFR is nothing glider-specific though, so I can see them being useful in other VFR-operated aircraft too.

In my experience e-ink displays reduce eye strain and attract less attention. This results in more attention being drawn to the outside world, which in turn is a good thing for safety.

I am not at all in agreement with your statement. In some contexts price is not a big issue and the qualities that e-ink brings are worth the money.
>A resource that, had you not hired them remotely, would have contributed to the Californian economy instead.

Yea, it depends on the fuel and design but in absolute terms the percentage of U238 fuel used is low. However the ratio of 238v235 consumed is much closer because there is so much more U238 than U235.

To simplify if 4% of the fuel is U235 vs 96% U238. While spent fuel is say 1% U235 vs 95% U238/P239 then 3/(3 + 1) = 75% of the fuel used was U235 and 1/(3 + 1) = 25% of the fuel used was U238. Actual numbers are different, but you get the idea.
Those are great for spatial audio, true, but they are simply not capable of making sound seem like it is directly in front of me. Some sound comes in through the nose, not a lot obviously, but enough that headphones are dramatically bad at generating sound in front of you.

Plus, given enough calculation and precision, you could create areas that are nearly sonically separated from each other using wave cancellation, and as people move through the space it would change the sonic characteristics of the space and create new vibes.

There's a lot of untapped awesomeness in the audio world, we just need to tools to craft them

> With reference counting there are no pauses, and memory is reclaimed immediately

You can't guarantee both of these properties at once, in the general case. Consider a very large tree of objects which are referenced through a single root node, and then that root node becomes eligible for reclamation. For a sufficiently large object graph, either reclamation will require a noticeable pause or some portion of the work will have to be deferred until later.

Glad I saw this comment before checking out my cart full of guitars, drums, pianos, and a harmonica.
Joking aside, would it be a stretch to say that learning to play an instrument well also grows confidence and develops a level of perseverance? Being bad at playing an instrument can be pretty discouraging, until one day you start to get the hang of it, giving more confidence to continue practicing and learning. Maybe that perseverance* bleeds over into other areas.
Doesn't that apply to all sorts of employee compensation? ISO's vs RSU's, employee stock purchase/matching programs, PTO options ("unlimited PTO" in particular can be bad for the employee), health insurance options, 401k contributions.

All can have big financial impacts to employees, and employees need to understand them before they accept an offer. There's no reason to be surprised by the tax implications of 1099 vs W-2.

1099 isn't necessarily worse than W2, it opens more tax deductions for the employee, but also requires more bookeeping and the employee needs to understand what the difference is.
It's funny, I've never seen it work correctly, even in the simplest case, on any of my devices.
