I have every incentive to build. Single family home owners are who restrict building.
This comment sums up what I was trying to say in another comment quite nicely, except in a more direct and practical way. Sometimes, I feel like this boring dystopia you describe is found in so many places as to seem inescapable. It's something intrinsic to modern life. Every building looks the same. Every road looks the same. Everyone's clothes and haircuts look the same. Everyone has the same attitude. Why? As Steve Ballmer would say, "Corporations, corporations, corporations, corporations." What do we get when the entire world, both physically and mentally, is shaped by the same style of hierarchy whose sole purpose is to extract human effort from the population for cash while ignoring the long term cost?

I've traced archeological layers remaining in my blog all the way back to at least 1999. It's been on worldmaker.net and/or blog.worldmaker.net since 2002 as I recall. For a period in the 90s there was a "Zine" component, and the word "Blog" wasn't even invented yet. There are some big lost layers from database drops in the middle there. The most contiguous history seems to start around November 2004, with the most recent migration from databases to Git a "recent" 7 years ago in 2015.

It's been a weird journey.
>Should carriers still support something that was created 100 years ago?

No one is saying ATT should continue operating their 3G network. On what grounds are they terminating subscriptions?

Also, there's more than just Apple/Samsung/Google. Operators are shutting off 3G, but keeping 2G alive for a while longer for crap that's abundant, and doesn't need anything more anyway.
Yes! That's it! I can't quite tell if their site now is defunct or simply broken.

It used to be my go-to distraction when I had a job where there was literally nothing to do. (I had been hired into a group where the team lead had already automated everything. The one thing we had to do was bounce the servers every Friday & perform nationwide DB replication w/ local sites. The group was preserved because a of a pending transition that would eventually yield more work, but that was > 0.5 years in the future. The team lead was a good mentor though, and the person who taught me strategic laziness & the constant goal to automate yourself out of a job... Under the theory that you'd then find more interesting things to work on instead. But with an EOL'ed system there were no new projects that could be started)
1. No, but I wouldn't subscribe to a service that took more data than I deemed necessary or was happy to volunteer
2. No, because they couldn't offer any guarantee it would be removed
3. Because you'd need my data to achieve that, so I've potentially made my problem worse. Are you more trustworthy than the other services?
4. I can't imagine how that would work so struggle to give an answer

> GraphQL shines when you control the API and the frontends that consume it.

How does this differ from controlling the API and frontend with rest/json? You can shape the data in any which way you want including nested relations, i.e get me a user with all their posts.

Unless you are $MEGA_CORP scale it really doesn't feel like its worth the investment.
> For me it's hard to not draw the conclusion that heterosexual young people want to be allies and are declaring themselves as bisexual and perhaps experimenting a bit as a show of support.

This makes sense until you understand the realities of the dating scene for bisexual women.

1. If you're young and have the highest rates of wlw your dating pool it's only 20% of women but 95% of men. So supposing bisexual women are choosing randomly among their dating pool it's not at all shocking they end up with way more men on average.

But it's not random and made even worse by

2. Women aren't taught how to approach other women and initiate a romantic relationship -- this is where the memes of "we've been best friends for years who are obviously pining over one another" and "useless lesbians" come from.

3. Women, having basically all experienced the discomfort (to put it lightly) of unwanted sexual attention from men, don't want to inflict that on others and so are more apprehensive hitting on other women.

4. And even if a woman does have the confidence she has to face the reality that 4/5 women she hits on will be straight and in general wlw are super apprehensive about hitting on people they don't already know are wlw. The rejection of confessing to your crush who turns out to be straight it mortifying and getting as is getting an "ew no" at a bar. It's fine, I'm fine.

5. Bisexuals in general tend to not hang around queer spaces as much.

6. Bisexuals tend to not have as much of a "gay aesthetic" as lesbians and so are harder to identify in social settings.

7. There are lesbians that wont date bisexual women because they have the same biphobia the rest of the world does, that they're straight women experimenting and will end up with a man.

It's possible that there never was a first place.
I don't know what counts as a non-random internet page, but here[0] is an article published by the "European Data Protection Supervisor" titled "14 Misunderstandings With Regard To Biometric Identification And Authentication", with number 12 being "Biometric information converted to a hash is not recoverable". It states:

> there are studies showing that the hash could be reversible, that is, it could be possible to obtain the original biometric pattern, especially if the secret of the key used to generate the hash is violated

So yes, there are secret keys involved (which the user has no control over), and no, I've never read through the code of a biometric implementation, but ultimately the space of possible values that someone's face or finger could reliably display is much smaller than even MD5, so it can be brute-forced.

If you have some non-random internet page to justify yourself, and show how much entropy is contained in a biometric hash, and how resistant to cracking that hash is, and how well secured those secret keys are, then I'd be happy to learn more.

I think that the issue of deriving meaning from one's work (and life) is as old as humanity.

It looks to me also that there's a bit of idealization going on on your side. In any case you'll work with other people and I bet you won't feel too good if you'll be doing env. work with total assholes. So I would also look at that angle -- being among people you like/appreciate and who reciprocate also kind of eases that existential thing (IMO).

Now I am working in the field and organization which definitely are worthwhile / good cause (imo). But it comes at a price, I wouldn't mind to work in a less meaningful place (subjectively) for a few years with a significantly higher comp.

Also good cause is a motivator but the not the most immediate one. Used to work in a slightly dysfunctional company but my responsibilities were (mostly) so well defined and managed day-to-day that just getting stuff done was satisfying.
You're entitled to it, but I think you're trying to justify a really horrendous conclusion that a business shouldn't reasonably be expected to provide some form of human customer service in some fashion or another if it detracts from their profit margin.

And you're looking at this problem in a weird way IMO. You're worried about the costs of support costing Google too much and examining the costs of 1 support engineer against 1 customer, when the real equation is that 1 support engineer should be enough to service the needs of a great deal of customers. It's not 1 support engineer for 1 customer paying $30. The equation is 1 support engineer that can service the needs of a great deal of customers paying $30 each.
>Because we still need certain utilities on our phone

You don't "need" any of those things, humans got on with life just fine without them for 100,000s of years, smartphones have only existed for the last 15.

>Maps

Look it up on a computer before you go, or ask someone on the street for directions. The only "benefit" having maps on a phone gives you is that you can completely avoid talking to people and just stare down at a screen instead.

>Music

MP3 players still exist. Or just ditch the music and be present in the moment.

>Search

I have never spontaneously needed to search something that couldn't wait 30 minutes until I was back at a computer.

>Camera

If you're going somewhere you know you're going to want to take pictures then take a proper camera. Otherwise you probably don't need one. I can't think of a single instance in the past 2 years where I needed to take a picture of something that actually mattered without knowing beforehand.
What makes you think the SEC can find the ‘guilty’ parties and that the company (i.e. possibly the very same people) would willingly cooperate with them and not just find a scapegoat to push under the bus? And just repeat this process every time something bad happens.

The point of the fine is to disincentive the company (and also other companies) from doing the same thing again, unless criminal behavior (i.e. fraud) was involved that’s purely an internal matter for the company (they may fire the people who supposedly did this or do whatever they think is necessary).
the small percentage of survivors will lay it out like there's specific sequence of steps but its 1) very tough to find market product fit 2) even if you do, theres no guarantee you will be chosen 3) your immediate circle, your economic class, education, race impact your perceived social credit 4) luck (even all three are met but some still do not "make it"

It's pretty foolhardy to tell people to go out and gamble and brush off survivorship with vanity. Back to the original parent's comment, they could've easily taken that Google job and continue development of their side project which didn't raise any money and grew organically, anyways.

I bought one of these https://buy.hpe.com/us/en/servers/tower-servers/hpe-proliant... (on sale from Newegg) w/180w external brick, 4core xeon, 16 Gigs of RAM, 1xSSD (Boot) and 3xHDD (SnapRaid) as a NAS/OwnCloud box (and probably more in the future), threw NixOs on it (my first experience with NixOS) and am reasonably happy with the result.

It's compact and quite quiet. One word of warning. It doesn't like to finish posting every time. I suspect the PS might not like all the startup current that all 3 HDD spinning up at the same time brings.

There are some entry level Dells I was looking at as well (that also frequently go on sale) but this one won out.

If you compare the same pizzas restaurant vs. homemade then sure, but learning to do it well allows you to modify everything to suit your needs. A really nice thin crust can be made with quite a bit less dough, which may then need a lot less cheese to saturate the dish. Just like that you've knocked down two of the most calorically heavy parts of a pizza!

Stress for me is an equation.

When # things I need to do > # things I want to do, I become more stressed.

Although each task has a weight to it as well. Needs are weighted on importance and wants are weighted on desire.

This allows the “stress scale” to tip with many tasks or a few larger tasks.
Tesla and Elon Musk are lying through their teeth every option they get.

Mercedes is accepting liability whenever their self driving system is engaged, meaning their insurance is on the hook. So I think they're pretty damn certain that it will work as intended.

Yes, that’s a thing with Wordpress. Any change to the URL requires some sort of migration to the new URL, as they are statically added to pages. This was done to avoid the performance hit of dynamically generating the late every time. Wordpress has been around a long time, and that decision probably did have a performance improvement at the time. Theoretically it’s not really that bad, as URLs are defined as unique, so doing a migration shouldn’t be a big deal. But conceptually it just seems “incorrect”.
For now. Even before the pandemic, "delivery-only" restaurants were replacing brick-and-mortar ones:

> Anything affected by the physical implementation of the computer still needs to be tested, for example. That includes corruption safety for databases

I think that comes under "taken far enough". If you can model the corruption in your proof, you're good. I'm less confident about timings. But you're right that testing is still useful for bugs on other levels. After all, going high enough, humans can have buggy requirements, and no proof will catch that. Tests might.
or tesla made a bad engineering decision that stalled progress?
I think the logic applies for as long as they have customers using the platform. If there are paying customers on ancient hardware, or emulators thereof, then I would expect it to be in their interests to have a way to get new blood to support that.
The latter.

As an example I can think of:

- jQuery, Backbone/Knockout, React progression

- C++03, C++11

- Qt Widgets, Qt Quick

- SQL to NoSQL and back again

- Windows NT, 2000, Server

On the other hand, AWS Lambda seems like CGI/FastCGI all over again, but with proper automation, so I have at least one data point on 20 year cycles (to confirm we need someone who is in profession for at least 40 years).
I cannot find the reference right now, but I read somewhere that when people are on vacation they prefer round prices so they don't have to count change. So, if you are running a gift shop in some popular tourist destination pricing something $5 is better than pricing it $4.95.

Here's the code: https://github.com/RedShift1/graphql-cached-get

Note that I made a very primitive implementation. Depending on which GraphQL node is queried, the request will be cached by the proxy or not. Apollo GraphQL server has much more fine grained methods of allowing caching (see https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/performance...) however I left the example code crude so you see exactly what's going on under the hood.
> Everything is easier to use with rest because it's so simple it works with curl trivially.

Dead comment.
I mean the example you give is actually great. The idea that everything should be a debate is kinda how things get pushed to really weird areas.

Most Americans would argue (and there's data to back this up) that abortion shouldn't even be something that we need to have a nuanced discussion about. The idea of nuanced discussion for everything is how stuff get pushed into harmful and extremist views.

The idea of "nuanced discussion" doesn't really work when the outcome of one side of the nuanced discussion is the subjugation of a whole class of people.

America went through "nuanced discussion" about the "Japanese problem". It went through "nuanced discussion" about civil rights. Most of this ended up either literally fucking over a group of innocent people, or delaying action that should've been taken decades prior.

The idea that a "nuanced discussion" is the way to go is exactly what that fallacy is talking about. Basically you can't have people's rights and lives talked about as if one side of the discussion has the right to take that away from them.

Think about how long it took us to legalize gay marriage. The only thing that got the ball really rolling was stonewall.

Or think about the Vietnam War. Extremists helped end it.

How about climate change? Do we have a nuanced discussion between the older population who is going to be dead by the time this becomes a problem, or do we listen to the climate extemists who are generally younger and the ones who are going to get fucked by this?

Anyway, middle ground politics is a dead area and not something that always works. The people who like it are generally the people who are fine with the status quo. So of course you're going to see angry view points (who most of the time have all the right to be angry) as a cesspool.

For me it feels like at some point, I stopped feeling like I could throw myself into hobbies that require real engagement. Long video games, deep dive coding, instrument practice sessions, etc.

Once I got a job, partner, and pets, at any moment something can demand my attention. Enough times of having to abandon a multiplayer game, break concentration, break my flow, and at some point I just started choosing to do things that have zero commitment. I still play games, but only ones that I feel I can drop at a moment's notice and don't require practice. Music is a faint echo of the presence it used to be in my life. The only thing I still get to do every single day is code, because I have to do it in order to live.

I also feel the loss of the "third spaces" in my life. It used to be a few select hangout spots with my friends, then it was the rest of the college campus. I've lived in a car dependent hellscape my entire life and it only got worse when I moved to the US capital of suburban sprawl for work. None of my friends live within ten miles of me anymore.

Good times. Finding and importing the Win32 apis was super easy. Also, if you needed more speed you could use inline assembly.
I agree that dune is worse in many important ways than the build systems of languages like Rust and Go (where they were developed at the same time as the language, rather than 20 years later). But dune config files aren't lisp. They're s-expressions, which have the same syntax as lisp but are just static data like json/yaml/toml (and once you get used to them, I think most people prefer them to those).

I know a guy who backed out of a real estate deal that he'd really wanted for that reason (AML).
