Nice idea but the vertical titles are too hard to read. Why not just stack the books one on top of the other for the sake of usability?
I'm always amazed at how quickly we became a pro-censorship society. I always assumed it would take several generations.
The collective has entire power over what you do. Global climate change was never solved by individual decisions, because when you live a different lifestyle than your workmates, you basically give up both the jobrace and the friends.

As for myself, I absolutely blame society for having a house. I live in France where class warfare is still a thing, and living in a block with people of the other ethnicity is unthinkable (they raped my goddaughter, but that’s only one example of storied - they kill gays at the train station too, so I take my car). Give me love and I’ll turn over my lavish house and happily live in a small flat, if I’m not hated for being there.
It would probably prompt more answers, if there was some context as to why you ask? But, in my case, I stopped looking for "permanent" jobs, and realized that (as a programmer, anyway) I actually preferred temporary contract work.
> Because growing the economy by $461 million a year grows the economy and hence tax receipts

Growing the economy by $461M grows tax receipts by significantly less than $461M.
You're completely right. Amazon strategy is to maintain constant turnover, so that employees never feel they have stability and can't complain of anything.

There needs to be a law that forbids mandating cellphones and creditcards for ordinary business transactions. My apartment started requiring an app to enter the premises and use another app so wash and dry your cloth and then required an app to enter the place you wash your cloth. I came home one day after a series of missed and delayed flights, tired and sleepy at 3am after waiting eons for uber at the airport when my phone finally died and at 3am I could not enter my own apartment because my phone was dead and there is no one else at that time to open the hate for me.

In these cases, technology is creating not solving problems.

Ask yourself this: As great as smartphones are, do you want a future where everyone is required to purchase one, an a cell plan to exist in society, to engage in commerce, enjoy shelter, health care and security?

I would even go so far as to say cash and physical paper should be supported by any business and government department.
No, because this is simply not true. I am not sure what "participate in modern life" means for you, but I have no personal Apple devices, so no Apple account for me; and I use Fastmail as my primary email.

Granted, there are some groups which use Google Docs or such to coordinate, so I still have to have a Google account, but this is somewhat optional. And Google Play is pretty nice if you have a cellphone -- but on the older Android tablets I keep them account-less and use F-droid/random APKs from the web instead.

A much concerning thing IMHO is a Facebook requirement -- I am missing a number of events when I tell people I don't use Facebook. Hopefully it will change one day, but I am not holding my breath.

(And re the original article, you only need Google/Apple account if you want to use cloud sync. I am not quite sure how the system will work, but I suspect that with Android, you might either have alternative clouds (like Samsung's cloud), or may be able to use your own service, or sync via wired cable to PC)

Bezos on setting high standards and clear expectations
Not that I've ever come across, but Blizzard RTSs would have to be the gold standard. Age of Empires being second. Looking at those franchises would cover the majority of player expectations, at least in terms of basic mechanics like attack-moving, move-commands, unit selection, and so on.

I remember when a historian who wanted to correct common misceptions in articles would have his updates reverted. The common views are not always correct. Such as Canada didn't have troops in Vietnam. Canada had MASH medical units, and theres even a canadian webpage listing medals award and names who served in Vietnam.

He finally kept his updates on his personal page, but then wikipedia made it you couldnt find his page.

Then I started finding that was the common idea on Wikipedia, deleting views from wikipedia that didnt meet the popular editors. Pages got deleted with rules that didnt make sense, not popular enough, not reported by main stream news, no articles found, etc.

I'm old enough to remember news and events that counter the popular views, and those events are not even in historical news articles. The re-writing of history has been going on in wikipedia launched, its more common than you think.

My favorite wikpedia fake excuse, they dont have enough space to include non-popular historical events, its history, authors who trended all the talk shows even oprah and made nytimes best seller, etc, are removed from history.

Theres entire mainstream history in 80's that don't match reality, and was deleted. The narrative of groups in charge, are the ones who get reported.

> I thought we were all on the same page for the “human footprint “ on the planet

We are on the same page on the some things, but not all.

You say we burn too much coal. I say that too. We are on the same page.

I say we need to burn less coal. You say there need to be fewer of us. We are not on the same page.

The thing is, we already are burning less coal. Much less. The US has burned 1 billion tons annually between 2000 and 2010. Now we burn half of that.

We did not need to reduce our population by half in order to achieve that.

We can achieve lots of similar things without reducing our population.
Another benefit of firing workers early is it increases churn, which makes forming unions in the first place difficult, since it relies on trust between workers.
A declining population may not be a huge problem if it is temporary and it is mostly older people who die. Getting fewer kids cause problems and if the decline just continues for centuries or millenia you may end up with a very, very small population.

Losing 0.5% every year means you lose 40% in a hundred years and 63% in two hundred years.
Possibly, but not necessarily (based only on the flight number).

Fun fact, all flights (from commercial airlines) have a flight number, but those are not always sold. They might be charters or ferry/repositioning flights. (And while it might make sense to sell a repositioning flight - sometimes it's done on short notice or the airline doesn't want to assign cabin crew to those flights)

To me it seems like if you only need a few to be successful then doing it manually will be just as effective (since you're doing it manually, your success rate will be much higher).

In either case, it doesn't bode well for this startup's claimed goal. I'm sure their bank account on the other hand will be fine though.

The trickiness comes from the deleted articles that really ought to stay dead – things like copyright infringement, doxxing, etc. Were I an admin, I'd be loath to cast the net too wide when resurfacing those removed pages.

Trees left to themselves will each fire off millions of seeds.
The idea that humans know best than nature is why we get into the mess that we get into.

Trees have everything within them to spread themselves.

What's the key thing is people leaving the land alone, (e.g. industrialists, urban planners and farmers) and that's something that is very very hard to do. If we can leave the land alone for nature then we can start to do simple conservation efforts to give nature a helping hand. Drones aren't that.

In my experience, Xdebug is not suited to the task. It has a big impact on the executed process, so profiling is slow and biased. The results need some extra processing to get interpreted, which is a pain when experimenting with code changes. It's been a long time since I last used Xdebug to profile anything, so maybe the situation is better now.

My preferred tool is php-spx. Once the extension is loaded into PHP, within seconds you get a flamegraph of where time is spent. It's also easy to apply to command-line scripts. And it's versatile enough (with the right settings) to profile long-running or memory heavy scripts.
https://github.com/NoiseByNorthwest/php-spx

SPX could be loaded with docker-compose like this article does for Xdebug. But if you already have a PHP environment, the easiest way to install it is to compile it (sudo apt install php-dev && make && cp modules/spx.so /usr/lib/php/....).
Because bandwidth has already been increasing exponentially.
Do note that there's backups/dumps at approximately monthly intervals, too, that could have helped.
Author Raphlinus has an incredible history of great, superb technical posts here, many which have spawned great discussions[1].

Referenced in this article are: Xi-Editor, discussed in Xi-Editor Retrospective[2] and Druid, discussed in Rust 2021: GUI[3], which follows closely after Principled Reactive UI[4] (describing a prototype for Druid called Crochet).

> I have long believed that it is possible to find an architecture for UI well suited to implementation in Rust, but my previous attempts (including the current Druid architecture) have all been flawed.

These have all been very very good & technical posts on what toolkits really support & enable ui (amid other great technical topics too). It's delightful seeing such an ongoing continuation, an evolcing refinememt of ideas & self-review from someone of such expert caliber.

Rarely do we get such an intimate view into what the real hunt for rightness is, see how we ever hunt for perfection. Personally I believe that hunt for better is one of the undertold aspects of hackerdom, a less visible less knowable reciprocal to fast-and-dirty. Tapping & enabling this creative, knowledge & intellect based capability is a core spring from where greatness emerges.

> I have studied a range of other Rust UI projects and don’t feel that any of those have suitable architecture either.

It's also notable how widely raphlinus travels to get the best persepctive available. This post begins with a a vast field survey of other ui libraries & their origins. I lack the energy to search down & link HN discussions on each of these, for there are many! But seeing how everyone else is doing, looking wide & far to explore their peer's attempts, is also a notable characteristic I admire here.

I throw my cartridges in the trash, and they end up in a landfill forever with no environmental harm. I haven't looked into Teflon but I've disposed of ~1 pan in my entire life and still have the rest, so my impact is probably negligible.

I choose to focus my time and energy minimizing environmental impact more effectively. For example, instead of using a DE razor, I use that time to commute by bike instead of car, This results in overall much less waste and a lifestyle that I prefer.
I spent $80 on my branded safety razor 10 years ago. Maybe bought 3 packs of blades. The disposable ones were really painful for me and the safety razor less so. The only shaving expense is really shaving cream, which my skin is very choosy about (the EOS shea butter works best for me these days).

Not being able to travel with safety razor on plane is the annoying part. Also I accidentally cut my finger on a blade once and had to get stitches. That might have made up for the cost of not buying disposable.
To elaborate, Norway population is ~5M, which is ~0.05% of the the world population. Even if they were the worst polluters ever, at 20x average (they are not!) and even if they went back to living in caves and became vegetarian tomorrow -- the effect size would be 1% of the total world action.

And Oslo is just 12% of Norwegian population, so ...

> To me a more reasonable explanation than any in the article is that after losing the vote, Amazon looked into the warehouse and decided part of the problem was that the managers were making the situation worse.

You’d think that Amazon would be smart enough to look into the apparent problems before the vote, and make a show of addressing them to forestall it, if their concern was the actual labor conditions driving the desire to unionize and not the failure of worksite union-busting efforts leading up to the vote.
Great that there was an impact, but still its not big enough.
Mac Catalyst is basically UiKit userland for macOS. I think Springboard and Finder will remain discrete UI paradigms but I think iPadOS might be going towards a place where it can use either depending on what it has connected (see: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/06/apple-patent-ipad-with-...).
I'm stuck cz with my age and the skills I have, I can't find better job, I'm trying since more than 6 months to find better job but it didn't work out.

Easy test. If I can't put the pan in the dishwasher, then it's not for me or people like me. You don't have to spend energy trying to convince us.
The fact that a unionization vote was happening would have been more than enough to start an investigation into management and firing management before the vote due to bad practices could have prevented the unionization vote from being passed. I'm not sure it matters much how much leeway the managers actually had in preventing unionization from happening. Amazon has been extremely cold hearted and calculating with the management of their logistics infrastructure. They are managing (ruling) by fear, not love. They could easily have prevented unionization by treating their employees like human beings and not robots, but they chose to go the dystopian route of extreme monitoring and pushing their employees to work as hard as possible. It almost feels like a move that Putin and other dictators would pull. They shift blame to those that are relatively powerless in middle management and make an example of them even though the fault lies with those at the top.
Although it's not a book, the Linux documentation [1] is actually very good and does the job of explaining design and architecture of the kernel.

I'd also suggest reading "Unix Internals" by Uresh Vahalia. While this book is from 1995 and it doesn't cover Linux specifically, it's an exceptional resource for understanding how *nix kernels work in general.

Rome is a very particular case. I suppose some friction in this whole comment blob might be from people trying to limit their scope to the artifact in the article.

But really, for the most part Roman artifacts are in Rome or Italy or the descendants of Roman client states they came from. Rome was never really looted like Africa or the Americas or even much of Asia were over the colonial power era. Likewise, neither were the colonial powers themselves, so there’s no real culture drain being helped along by holding on to a Roman or British or French or Spanish artifact.

For the most part when conversations need to be had about restoring artifacts, it’s that period we’re really talking about.

I suppose so. A first pass on which resources to acquire with different costs and different (and diminishing) rates of return. Then a second pass to assign those resources to workers who have different capacities to do work, and also can't do every kind of work (so bin packing?).

> Something you have can easily be stolen as long as someone is able to access it. Someone on the other side of the world is not going to be able to steal your USB token from the comfort of their own bedroom, just as they're unlikely to get your biometrics.

True, and better security systems take advantage of that by combing all three.
For me to log into work I have to use a password (what I know), use a hardware token (what I have), and be logging in from a location where they'll expect me to be (what I am). All of those things have their flaws, but the odds of someone managing to pull off all three are much less likely.

As the use of biometrics increases we'll see more examples of that data being collected stolen and and shared around the world. Right now, it's not used often enough for criminals to bother passing around scans of your fingerprints, or photos used to spoof facial recognition, but it's bound to happen.

> I understand what you're saying, but you're forgetting that passwords, by nature, have to exist somewhere other than your head, guarded by someone other than you.

As others have said, they shouldn't. We have to expect failures and breeches, which is why it's so important that we have those other two pillars to fall back on when "what we know" fails us.
