I mean i have not tested it heavily on 100+ pages so maybe for that but WOW for a regular sized scientific paper the difference in both smooth scrolling and text selection accuracy and speed is insane compared to the default chrome native pdf renderer. The difference is instantly noticeable (although me being on a 4K screen might help) that is why I use the Chrome PDF.js extension to make it my default reader.

Why didn't they focus enough on cable length? I'm not sure about how much latency they would add since the current is still traveling at light speed.

>Things have flipped so that technology overuse is now normative, and the "geeky" thing to do is be moderate, circumspect and sceptical.

Hearing this, even anecdotally, makes me sigh with relief. What is your impression of their lives? Do they hang out with each other, or with normies, in RL, or just spend a lot of time alone?
Older people bemoaning the pessimism, fatalism and short-termism of the younger generations really ought to try engaging younger people in meaningful dialog and attempting to understand their points of view. Younger people are interested in the future and they are passionate about tackling emerging global problems. Market research shows gen Z place a huge emphasis on sustainability for example.

Personally I don't think the Jetsons, Star Trek and other sci-fi fantasies and space operas were really about the future at all. They were reflections of a contemporary culture of blind techno-utopian optimism which was disconnected from the actual future and was perhaps quite detrimental to it. The false image of the future lives on in e.g. techno-elite fantasies of colonizing Mars instead of solving our problems here on Earth. Younger genres like Solarpunk feel much more connected to humanity's future than these older sci-fi tropes ever did.
Okay thanks, that actually works here. I'm still not sure it's what OP meant, but I prefer to assume apolitical motivation unless otherwise stated, so I like your interpretation. I actually couldn't get what he was trying to say, not trying to posture.
Tech is like any other human endeavor. People talk. People change jobs and still like the people in the place they left.

> If the tax is enough to cover CO2 sequestration, where is the problem?

Social unrest, plain and simple. When the rich can continue their lives as usual and only the poors have to rein in their life style, there will eventually be riots. We're already seeing social unrest with the election results for the 45th in the US and the very near election of le Pen in France that runs on precisely this ideological framework.

Besides, we need to reduce the total CO2 emissions to keep the 2°C target, not just keeping the current emission amount.

> Why not the same exemption for sub 2-hour flights?

Same as above, plus the reduction in noise for the people living next to airports, and (more an issue in Europe) reduce the amount of space that is needed for airports. A high speed train is way more efficient in terms of energy, CO2 emissions and required staffing than an airplane is.
On computers I own, I always install "trash-cli" and i even created an alias for rm to trash. It's like rm, but it goes to the good old trash. It will not save your prod but it's pretty useful on your own computer at least.

I think a better way to approach it is, "I may need to find a different path to success than the neurotypical examples I've seen because I'm autistic."

It's a level of work NTs don't have to put in. They can follow the examples of other NTs and reasonably expect it to work.

Autistic people have to step back, evaluate why the method isn't working for them, iterate, and try again.

But you're right--it doesn't have to be insurmountable.

I figure if my challenge weren't this, it would just have been something else. No sense wishing to trade struggles. I have the one I have. So it's up to me to make a strategy to handle it.
Parents being murdered is in plenty of kids movies. I don't think it has much to do with war I think it's more just you're writing a story with kids as the protagonists. How do you build a plot where they can overcome things if their parents are still in the picture.

Don't think its much deeper than that.
Microsoft sold a bunch of titles for things like music. They did quite a nice job as I recall during that period when it was really rather wondrous you could hold all this information in the palm of your hand.

Agree. It also makes for a very stable web server.
In every contract I've ever signed, part of the NDA clause with my employer is that I'm also bound by NDA's my employer is bound by, so if the employer signs an NDA with a customer, I would also be bound by that. It might be worth checking your contract, otherwise having a company sign an NDA doesn't hold much weight if their staff are free to go around sharing the information themselves.
They are beholden to the people and the people's perception of their credibility. At any time we can dispel that court--or just stop taking it seriously. They are terrified of being waved off. Imagine all the politicians that would jump on board if they saw a large enough groundswell (energized voting bloc) calling for the "non-constitutional illegitimate third branch" to be disbanded in favor of state courts.

We are witnessing the same with the "election fraud" Trump populist fervor right now.
That form had a couple weird checkboxes with odd wording. It is a famous mistake, but also rather understandable just because the form was cryptic.
> Then have multiple people inspect the logs.

I think that this is the most important part of any check. Your parent refers to checking the log five times, but, at least in my experience, I won't catch any more errors on the fifth time than the first—if I once saw what I expected rather than what was there, I'll keep doing so. Of course everyone has their blind spots, but, as in the famous Swiss-cheese approach, we just hope that they don't line up!

Because everyone assumes that everyone else is looking at it more closely than they are. “I’ll just do a cursory look since I’m sure everyone else is doing a in-depth look.” Narrator: nobody did an in-depth search.
> I could understand it until age 10 perhaps but at some point you want your kids to be independent.

There's surveillance (parental supervision) and then there's "surveillance" (corporate psycos / overbearing governments).

You want your kids to learn independence in a gradual and some what safe / controlled way (not too safe of course). There are still some things I don't want them exposed to at age 10. Unfortunately unsupervised internet isn't the best option here. Outsourcing it to tech is a really bad choice for sure. You need to be present as a parent to help them navigate and answer questions. If you aren't, then some youtuber (or worse) will do it for you. There's also an argument that being present as a parent has become harder than ever on average for economic reasons (double income, wage stagnation, inflation, etc.), and also the problem that many parents have no clue how to navigate the internet responsibly themselves.

What does the U in USB stand for again?
Follow-on comment: I think the helpful thing about labels is that they help people find other people who are also trying to make strategies around similar struggles and learn from them.
I don't agree with this. 'Important' software, like something you would want/need for your server, is not 'important' enough if it has a considerable amount of bugs, and therefore _will not_ be used by significant amount of people. (and will not pose a real threat to the community at large). At least not significant enough to explain all the hate authors and contributors are getting.

Let's say it's 2030, and I want to host my own matrix server. I would first compile a list of all matrix server implementations, and filter out those with confirmed bugs, and only then choose one (at random or some other criterion). The ones with bugs introduced by some library written in Hare/C/Rust/C++/X language will never be popular enough to even end up on the starting list cause people don't want to use buggy software (at least if there are options and in sufficiently-large ecosystem, there are options). And you might say that those bugs will go unnoticed - yes, but no more unnoticed than any other bug introduced by faulty logic but written in, say, Rust.

Also:

> so the language _will_ get used by a non-insignificant number of people

Hare is fairly opinionated (e.g. it mainly targets FOSS operating systems) so saying that it _will_ be used _just_ as a result of being related to ddevault (a person with a following), is a _wild_ guess. It does not matter how big of a following the author has, if the language itself is bad, it will not get used, or at least, it will get forgotten soon enough.

>In a sufficiently-large ecosystem...

In a sufficiently-large ecosystem, performance/security-critical software will be created using a language that is used not because of the author's following… Again: if the language itself is bad, it will not get used, or at least, it will get forgotten soon enough.

You can write buggy code in _any_ language.
This is a pretty bizarre comment section. Oil companies have a fixed extraction cost and the market sets the price of the commodity they produce. Should Google arbitrarily force the price of ads lower when the instant bid happens for ad placement?

I saw no tears shed for the oil industry when prices completely collapsed in 2015 causing the bankruptcy of thousands of companies over the following six years.
The theory advanced in the video someone else posted is that they always knew they could push it too far and get blowback. But now it's their last throw of the dice so they're going all in.

Rejecting candidates unwilling to acknowledge female interviewers
> while a 30-year-old today is worse off than their parents and, rightly or not, feels that life is getting worse every year.

my question is: are they actually?

because if we factor in what it meant to live when their parents lived, are they really worse?

I'm not particularly richer monetary wise than my parents were at my age, but I earn a lot more money than they did, that I spend in a lot of things that didn't even exist back then.

My parents have never been on a flight before they were 65.

Also, my parents had some State benefit for being health care workers, but hey were working shifts of 5 consecutive days / 12 hours a shift, with two children at home.

That's not how medical profession works anymore, shifts are 8 hours maximum in 24 hours and workers have to rest at least 12 hours before going to work again. That means a night shift every 2 days maximum.

> What if I become sick and I can’t provide for my family? What will be of my child in such a toxic environment?

That's the same environment your kids are living in though, I'd say that passing onto them the idea that you have to provide for your family or you literally risk to die at such young age is the most profound damage social networks have produced to younger generations.

In my country that would not happen, health care is provided for everybody, especially those who can't afford it, but younger generations that grew up on social networks feels that they are in your same situation: if they don't succeed in life they'll be screwed forever.
But since we leave in the post-truth neo-speak era, they also believe that there are opportunities to become rich everywhere, and the only way to *not* become rich is to get a job. Job is for losers with no talent, passion, vision and/or self respect.

Modern Python Performance Considerations
While this is a huge issue, a solution (well, a partial mitigation) I've seen and used is the "Pointing and Calling" technique. The basic idea is that you incorporate more actions beyond reading and typing or pressing a button—generally by having people point at something and say aloud what it is they're doing and what they expect to happen.

It's used rather extensively in safety-critical public transportation in Japan [1] and to a lesser extent in New York (along with many other countries) [2]. This can easily extend to software without overcomplicating by just setting the expectation that engineers, Q&A, etc. do this even when alone.

We don't take the time to process and grieve anymore. In the same way that a minor physical act can result in a major physical injury, we can often endure great trauma from seemingly small events. And yet, we have built so many fire hoses ready to bath us in small events, never really knowing or understanding the impact of these minor events on our psyche.

Many people wake up, pick up their phone/tablet and immediately subject their brain to defensive thought patterns. We get to work, now often in what used to be our relaxing space at home, and we have very little social chit chat opportunities to explore our feelings on topics. When our day is done, how do we relax?

- Watching endless streams of depressing media on TV

- Playing games with conflict loops

- Doom scrolling news

- Rapid-fire bite sized thoughts (tiktok, youtube, twitter, imgur, 90% of reddit)

You can't even escape it doing mundane things like going to the store or restaurants anymore. How many places have either news or sports on the media player? That's never ending conflict being sprayed all over you.

What happens when a person is in a never ending defense mode for years? How does the brain change physically? How does the person engage with their children, and then how do those children engage with each other? I've tried to break out of this, and feel like I've made progress. I ignore the news most of the time and try to focus more on long form analysis. I don't inundate myself with current events anymore. And then when I try to talk to people about how much happier I am, I get the worst response: how can you ignore something that might affect you? I tell them well, I have to for my sanity.

Only if you can do that. Most of the large projects the government does nobody else wants. There is no market for aircraft carriers other than the US government (even if there were not export laws), likewise most space exploration, nobody other than NASA is going to buy your mars rover.

Building roads and private parking lots have enough in common that I might risk some of my own money on a better way [do something with them] them because once I develop it I can recoup any losses selling to private parking lots. Most things the government does they have a monopoly on though, and thus once a contract is done there is no possibility to recoup any losses.

The screenshot doesn't say that. It says you can cancel at any time and doesn't specify what the method of cancellation is. If you have been alive on earth long enough to have obtained a paid newspaper subscription, you know how this works.

This is an industry standard and it won't change because there isn't a better substitute that offers instant online cancellation.
Value to his stakeholders? Definitely. We should try to imagine whether all Musk's companies would be equally valued by their customer's base without his bold leadership. In full honesty I doubt so. Not only Musk has managed to succeed to recruit very talented people – without whom none of his endevour would have succeeded – but he proved to be (one of) the most iconic figures of our times, who has the ability to execute very fast on his ideas. Today I cannot envision any other leading his projects.

Facebook only ever did one thing well, and I think it still does it well enough, and that's being the internet's answer to the telephone book.

Lockigest – Lock your screen for strangers only
Indeed, one generation breaking the loop can support the next. Perhaps the antidote to social media is regularly sharing with your children: it doesn't matter what Alice or Bob think of you, ignore them and do what you enjoy most with this gift of life.
Craft CMS follows an interesting business model: a self-host product which is purchased with the source code of the product i.e. 'source only'. It's not open-source - the source code of the product cannot be shared or distributed by others, but it can be modified by the customer to suit their needs.

The source code is published on GitHub so anyone can see it. Presumably the product creators trust customers will pay for the product (if some do not, it probably doesn't matter to profitability). Another profitable PHP product called 'Kirby CMS' also follows this model.

The idea of 'source only' is not new at all. Back in the late 90s when Delphi was popular, many developers created and sold components to other developers (e.g. UI widgets). These components came with full source code of the components but they were not open source.

The label 'source only' is considered a dirty word among some open source advocates. But if you are building a B2B (Business-to-Business) software product, 'source only' is a viable option to successfully make a living from your product - one that isn't completely closed source.

(As an aside, here's the Craft CMS licence: https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/develop/LICENSE.md)

>that's an education problem, it is your fault, not theirs or some apps

Honestly, do you think parents are able to effectively counter literal billion-dollar companies that pour resources into making sure their apps are engaging (read: addictive)? How?

We've taken a hard-line stance with our kids and have explained/educated them on every aspect of social media, attention, and addictive programs. And we're still losing the fight. I genuinely think people massively underestimate how addictive many apps are, especially to developing minds that are constantly seeking novelty.
Not necessarily, in Germany you get a higher unemployment benefit if you used to earn more (because you paid more taxes and contributions). If I remember correctly, you get 60-70% of your salary capped at ~2-3K€ per month (plus some money for the kids and pension contributions), which is enough to live comfortably everywhere in the country.

If I lost my job in London, I’d fall instantly into a form of poverty that doesn’t exist anywhere else in Europe, notwithstanding the exorbitant amount of taxes I pay every year. Yes, you get some pocket money, that’s why I said the safety net is almost non-existent and not totally non-existent.
> what's the effective difference for most people (concerning perf and utilization) between multicore support in Java and Go and just running multiple processes in Node

The perf difference here probably isn't that great (although Java/Go will likely still be faster), but if you're at the point of running multiple processes you may well find that it's less dev effort to write your code in Java/Go (assuming you are familiar with both).
