I struggle to understand your thinking. The point is to put energy measures in terms that are intuitively understandable by people, and the most comprehensibly to people is human-power. Perhaps when Ikea produce a line of watermills we can revisit your rather odd question.
I guess the argument here is that those Windows problems could at least be solved. Blurry apps? Just right click on the app and override DPI settings. Apps not in the right place upon plugging/unplugging the cable? There are literally tens of apps that help with that, mostly free.

On my M1 Mac though, I need to pay $50 for eqMac2 so that I get to control the external display's speakers. Then I'll need to pay for Switchresx or Better Dummy just to get the resolution right on my non-4K display. And if money is not an issue, the security of these apps is definitely concerning. It all feels "hacky" to install app after app just to get the standard functionalities on macOS.

The fact that Apple removed HiDPI for non-4K displays just shows how non-free the whole ecosystem is. Definitely one more reason to wait for Asahi Linux on M1 Mac.

This game reminds me of Triptych (http://chroniclogic.com/triptych.htm).
Don't cherrypick it then. The rest of the piece explains it. He's not someone who just walks into a collaborative process with wholly self-completed works of natural brilliance. Instead, he's someone who knows how to facilitate the emergence of a genius-level chemistry between himself and another.

Now you can see that he is saying that Paul is a genius, just that his true genius isn't exactly what we think it is when we talk about creative genius.

This is all well and good but not everyone is coding on GitHub. My only contributions on GitHub are for my side projects and those are never finished. Most of my coding is done on Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, GitLab, etc. so while the idea is novel, the reality is GitHub contributions are a terrible metric for employment and any company who uses those isn't a company I want to work for. Also, while my profile says there are less than a dozen repositories I own. I actually have over 100 private repos on GitHub.
So... Be born into a lift of luxury?
> For a long time Asians scored below White Americans.

Note that there were very few Asians in America prior to the refugee immigration waves in the 1970s and 1980s. (0.7% of the population in 1970 to 2.9% in 1990.) By 1989, Asians were out-scoring whites in the SAT math: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1989/09/12/s...

None of it goes to a low income country, and very little to the ocean.

And our plastic waste per person is less than half of that of the US. Reducing plastic waste isn't merely a question of recycling, one must decide which plastics to allow for which purposes so that recycling can be effective. But not using it in the first place is the most effective.

And lastly what does the population of the country have to do with the problem? I this mentioned over and over again in various contexts.

As do I. I'm just genuinely curious how this caught people's eye. There's no way through the sea of "content" that these two paras could stick out without an artificial boost.
A brief summary of the paper for the layperson:

One of the big open questions in astronomy is what causes Type Ia supernovae. We know that it involves a white dwarf exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit, but there are two competing models for how this happens. In one of these models (the "single degenerate model") there is a companion red giant and gas from the red giant is slowly accreted onto the white dwarf until it exceeds the Chandrasekhar mass and explodes. In the other model (the "double degenerate model"), there are two white dwarfs which merge together and then explode. Both models have a number of points of evidence in favor and against them so astronomers haven't worked out yet which of the two models is correct, or at least dominant. [1]

This paper performs a simulation of a Type Ia supernova under the double degenerate model of two white dwarfs merging. They evolve this merger all the way out until the formation of the supernova remnant a few thousand years later and find that the second white dwarf would essentially cast a shadow on the explosion and leave a darkened circle on the remnant which should be visible.

This is a pure simulation paper, though. It doesn't look like they take the next step of going out and looking at Type Ia remnants to see if this feature exists. The main significance from what I can tell (with the caveat that I've been out of the field for about seven years now) is that it's a way to try to distinguish between these two models long after the supernova happened. So far, experimental tests have relied on observing Type Ia supernovae right after they happen, which is tricky because you have to wait around for a while until you happen to catch one nearby.

[1]: I wrote a short blog post about the state of this problem a while back: https://joe-antognini.github.io/astronomy/typeia-progenitors
Interesting, for the curious that's ~10 terawatts of Th-232, ~9 TW of U-238, ~4 TW of K-40 and ~1 TW of U-235. Plus about 5-15 TW of primordial heat left from the earth still cooling down from when everything got real hot about 4.5B years ago.

I like the "New York's worth of bananas" unit (3e17 bananas), doing some back of the envelope math apparently if everyone ate one a year for 80 years we could significantly slow climate change [0] [1] [2] [3] [4].

[0] World electricity usage was apparently 23,900 terawatt-hours in 2019, which works to a constant 2.73 TW. If we can eliminate the mantle heat from K-40 that's 4 TW out of the way which would be lovely.

[1] ~4.9e17 kg total K-40 in the mantle, so if every human dedicated themselves to eating them in a human lifetime of 80 years would take 4.9e17 kg K-40 * 1 banana/3.9e-9 kg K-40 /7.9 billion people/80 years = 1.9e17 bananas per person per year or 6.1e9 bananas per second, (very) roughly about one New York's worth of bananas per year, what's a couple tens of quadrillions of bananas between friends anyway.

[2] If you somehow vaporized the K-40 content of the bananas as you ate them.

[3] And managed to concentrate potassium directly from the earth's mantle into bananas.

[4] I have no choice but to note that this whole idea would be... Bananas. I'm sorry.
> How do you translate access restriction like "user X cannot view more than 10 articles per month"

That's not permissions in the general sense of authorisation, that should just be modelled as any other "business logic". Put that article_limit in the users table and join it in the selects.

Edit: or tracking the users article views with timestamps, and making a select aggregate over the month..

> "customer Y cannot insert any more orders if total outstanding/unpaid amount of invoices in last 30 days succeeds Z"

insert into orders
select from user a
inner join invoices b

My guess without have to do a bunch of reading and number crunching is that vaccinated people weren’t getting earlier variants but now when faced with a variation that the vaccine is poorly matched to, they’re getting sick but less so than someone who is COVID naive. However the unvaccinated in many cases have had COVID a few times. Many of these people were hospitalized in the past. Among that population there is a lot of natural immunity built up from infections from other variants, which may provide better protection against the latest covid than vaccines. But that’s all a wild ass guess.

[edit] I really don’t get why people are so animated by some cautious speculation, that’s presented as just that but don’t have anything to say in reply.

In the sense that public market stock valuations are debt-dependent, because cheaper debt increases future earning potential by making it cheaper to finance operations, acquisitions, expansions. Without the expectation of high public valuations, VC have less incentive to pump cash into early-stage companies. I think that's the rationale?
I don't agree with your conclusion in the second paragraph. I don't think the lack of uniqueness - for lack of a better word - makes people less interesting or special.

On the contrary, I think that by accepting that humans are machines shaped by their circumstances and their experiences with their own unique patterns of thought of complexity allows us to better appreciate what they build and construct.

It allows us to stop thinking that it's talent that makes a person good at whatever they are doing, but instead to think that what makes them unique and special is the amalgamation of their experiences, their pain, and suffering.
Seems interesting but quite young. When I looked it up it there was discussion about Sapper vs Sveltekit etc and quite frankly I can't stand that kind of thing anymore, it just leads to confusion, a lot of Googling and SO, partial or wrong docs etc and in the end a LOT of lost time and energy.

And I say that as someone who is currently refactoring a Vue 3 app from JS/VueX to TypeScript/Pinia ... oh the irony.

I think this is right. Plaid will get by, but their ability to capture TAM is now constrained. Because they didn’t expand horizontally into some related product offerings, they now look like a feature while Stripe looks like a platform.

So you're excusing Microsoft's poor or even abhorrent response because Jonathan and Casey may have been difficult in the past? What the fuck.
So you're saying you think it's possible we can have 5% interest rates and not a massive recession?

When you're in 350% public debt (state & local) to GDP - inflation is not a problem! It's a gift! A recession is the problem.
The positive side of plasticity is that your brain can also re-adapt fairly quickly to a lower (healthier) level of stimulation if you can get over the initial hump.

My understanding is that most of this is regulated by dopamine, and your dopamine system needs time to reset in order to adapt to new patterns. In the meantime, it's normal to feel bored or lacking in motivation; that's part of the reset process and you just need to wait it out.

Personally, I've found it's easiest to change habits and patterns via some sort of healthy distraction that takes my mind off whatever I'm trying to change. Travel, getting into a new hobby/project, or starting a really good book are all great for this.

Efficiency sounds so nice, but ever since working on a safety based project and observing

1) Efficiency hates redundancy

2) Redundancy is, like, the easiest, most zero-thought way of adding robustness

I've been a little suspicious of efficiency.

And we see questionable efficiency optimizations all over -- here in an individual business, in the greater economy (Let's over-specialize our economies, it is more efficient. Let's JIT manufacture everything, buffers cost warehouse space).

Just add redundancy. It'll be twice as expensive but it won't explode if something goes wrong.
That's probably true after you are comfortable in it, but as someone trying to wrangle it for the first time it was rather mystifying for anything outside of trivial usecases.
Because we still need certain utilities on our phone, like Maps and Music and Search and Camera. Those aren't the problems--we still want those things, which are not addictive and fruitful, but we want less of things which are addictive and fruitless, like Twitter and Reddit. Cigarettes have no such essential and positive utility.
I have a small portable 13 inch 2k monitor that due to its size needs to rub in HiDPI mode but my M1 MacBook Pro is having none of it. Incredibly frustrating because there is absolutely no good reason for this!

I don’t mind if it requires “advanced” settings modes or terminal commands or whatever, but I should be able to configure a device I own to output any combination of resolution and display scaling that it’s capable of (and is supported by the connected display), regardless of what’s plugged in or whether someone at Apple can see a good reason to want to do so.

This is one of my favorite things about programming. I mentally define the context of the file, method and method segment, in that order. This allows me to focus my search for words which are accurate to the given scope / context i.e. method / method segment and file-level concepts. From there, it’s a matter of identifying overlap and reusing key terms.

I think one thing people subconsciously or consciously struggle with is how explicit to be. I tend to side towards explicit because I’ve found the biggest trade off to be character count, which is not a big deal. I’ve received several compliments from other programmers when following this approach. A crucial step is to go though everything at the end and simplify / cut-out words that don’t provide meaningful value. Keep it iterative and constantly refine. Once you get used to this natural process of it, it becomes less stressful and more fun - almost like an exploration of ideas and concepts.

The M1 money supply increased by 40% during that time though.

We've already realized a ~10% increase in the CPI.

Presuming that houses are included in this metric, those are currently pretty inflated in value.

As of December 31st 2021, the market hadn't even really started to pull back yet.

If you say that household wealth has increased nominally, in terms of there being a bigger number of dollars, sure. But I think you have a pretty hard case if you want to argue that _Real_ household wealth has increased very much.

I largely agree with many of the points you are making, but I feel like you are missing the obvious rejoinder anyone would make to your point:

Why care about wealth inequality as a first-order concern? The periods you identify as decreasing wealth inequality also correspond to periods of decrease in real median income [0]. If my median income is going up, why should I root for periods that decrease it, even if it means that the wealthy are being hurt more than I am? Seems a bit like cutting off the nose to spite the face.

South Korea isn't the only country with decent nuclear costs. See the study I linked.

US nuclear costs are related to the fact that we build reactors as occasional one-offs, throw in long political delays, and sometimes change regulations in the middle of construction. We're probably not going to change any of that, so it's good we do so well with wind and solar. But our situation is not the situation everywhere.
The official router and store were not ready when they released Vue 3, even kind of still not, and the store is moving to a new lib.

I despise the programmer's hubris around the concept of self-documenting things especially as I'm running into so many examples of programmers who don't actually sit down and read library code these days. And especially despise apologist management that make excuses for them.

We didn't get where we are by not writing manuals and knowing what we're doing under the hood. Abstraction is fine once you're actually aware of what you're boundary conditions are.
It's ironic. I've heard so much fear of wage inflation leading to general inflation from some minority of my fellow minimum wage lackeys back in the day. It's unfortunate how often people will vote against their own interests for other unrelated issues.

I usually write my queries in GraphiQL (check some boxes) and then paste them into the app after I have them working right.
There's a related criticism made by some economists about psychology: the 1-800 critique.[1] The pattern is that psychologists claim that effect X exists, e.g. "hostile media bias" or "social identity" or "priming". But they don't say when it will apply, i.e. in what circumstances. So the critique was, these guys need to put a 1-800 number on their papers, so you can call them and ask, hey will your effect apply in my situation?
