Oh, I didn't think that part would be controversial, its where you get parasites and why the combination is a hit with one political party. A subset live in the middle of nowhere with poor infrastructure, the people out there aren't of other political parties because those other parties dont acknowledge them as well. I thought that would be clear. Its not about people that dont live in those environments and are also republican. You have to understand us identity politics to know why that wasn’t supposed to be derogatory. its supposed to be emphasis for effect, and accurate.

this is an example of other political parties not even giving them the benefit of the doubt to look into why it could possibly be working out for them. or even considering the errors in the models.
This is just a transcript of a stutter. Too much for modern technology to handle. :)
>You went to regular desktop websites, and they just worked.

Yeah I kinda wish fewer sites gave me the mobile version. I really hate the sites that give me the mobile version after I request the desktop version.
Spelling out loudly the command you are about to execute and explaining the reasoning behind it can help a lot too.
I'm pretty obsessed with diagrams as code and unfortunately while I liked the visuals produced by Mermaid I found some major limitations with it on my last comparison test a few months ago. I think it might just need to mature a little bit and then will probably be a solid choice. More of a greybeard sysadmin thing, but I usually refuse to install npm things locally so thats another issue for others who feel the same.

What I use myself and suggest to others these days is first and foremost blockdiag and its variants (nwdiag, seqdiag, rackdiag, etc), and the very descriptive python "diagrams".
Yep. I've written that formulation many many times.
Or just put the camera somewhere else. Then point one mirror at a time at the camera (therefore, it only seex 1x sunlight) to do angle calibration, and then aim that mirror back at the proper target and calibrate the next.
I agree. A good GUI can be all things for all users. Keyboard shortcuts can be unknown to a user when they need it the most, and accidentally triggered by a clumsy novice user who could damage their system configuration. Apple's competitors have approaches that, in my opinion, are much better:

In Android, Google often hides advanced functionality under overflow menus. These menus have a 3-dot icon (implying more menu options) or a settings gear, so most users will check them when the visible options aren't satisfactory. In recent Android releases, a lot of settings have clear and concise descriptions so users can understand their impact.

In Windows, Microsoft prefers to use a "properties" or "advanced options" menu, which also works well. If you can't find a desired option in the surface menus, you can dig into those menus.

Both of these approaches do a good job of offering more settings when needed while also warning users that the options can cause undesired effects. Android has clear settings descriptions so it's difficult to make a mistake, and when important settings like a debugging dump are triggered, will also display a clear warning about private information or breaking apps. Windows uses an "advanced" menu that can warn away "mom and pop"/novice users who could dig themselves into a hole. In both cases, there's some precautions to prevent users from mistakenly changing critical settings.

The last big bump came after the great recession. Labor got squeezed out by necessity. This time, it's almost like the reverse. We worked drastically less hours right at the beginning, but output didn't fall in lockstep. Productivity increased, but has dragged its feet since more and more people reenter the workforce.

If you zoom out, the pace looks on track with the overall trend before COVID, so perhaps it's just a neutral outcome with no major takeaways.

I put quite a lot of work into getting st and ct (optional) ligatures into the Linux Libertine typeface. And, turned them on by default in my copy.

And, I have my browser set to use Linux Libertine for all text, whether "serif", "sans", or whatever the page server said it ought to be. (Button wingdings something look odd.)

So, I don't see anything odd on the page, but I do see "st" ligatures. Just not theirs.

On my phone, where even Firefox utterly refuses to use the fonts it is directed to, I see ligatures in the sans-serif font, which is just ugly. But they do not make the sans-serif any worse than it always is.
> Yes, because your vote spent other people's money, not your own.

It's our money, I pay taxes too, significantly more than average. So you don't believe in democracy?

If half the population has net worth of rougly zero, does that part of the population not have legitimate free will?

In such a society, what stops the half that is wealthy from becoming exploitative towards the poor, putting in place policies that make sure the poor stay poor. What if they take student loans furhter and make the kids start their life with a loan for mandatory schooling, from primacy school onwards. Making real estate so expensive that the only way majority can have housing is for it to be provided by the company in company towns, and if you quit your job you loose roof over your head. And making healthcare so expensive that it can also be only provided by your employer, and if you loose your job with a chronic health condition you are basically sentenced to die. oh, wait, we have already done that bit.

What stops the wealthy part from turning it into Feudalism version 2 - there are lords, there are some 'free merchants' like white collar proffeshional, and then there are the serfs?
I mean…it’s circumstantial? The reason these societal contracts hold weight is because people give them weight. Ultimately it’s up to the people to hold government accountable. Did the public care about possible implications of Awlaki? Probably very few. Did people care about Waco? A lot more did.

US governmental bodies carry out extrajudicially killings of US citizen on a daily basis on the premise of perceived threat.

Look, I’m no legal scholar. These are social contracts, ultimately what’s legal is what society deems legal.

Do you have any sources documenting legal challenges against the administration’s memo?
I had an iRiver H320 with USB-OTG support. At the time I thought it was just a straight-up mini-B port but you're right, that's actually a mini-AB port!

Nobody said it's impossible, it's just generally not an issue if you write normal code (read: stop treating C++ as C, they are completely different languages). There's only very little difference in how much you need to think about lifetimes and stuff between Rust and modern C++, it's far from being "hard". Sure Rust holds your hands a bit more in those regards but you can also just turn on address sanitizer and friends and then you have a very similar experience.
> paper mill incentives

In the USA, publishing a large number of low-quality papers is at best unhelpful for getting grants. It's probably (very!) harmful.

> funding commitees will want some kind of metric for "non-technical" people.

The stakeholders within funding agencies are always technical. The external stakeholders -- congressional staff and corporate executives -- could not care less about citations/paper counts.

Based on your view of how these things work, I'm a bit curious about your background here. Have you sat on a funding committee for a public funding agency? Do you know the names of any program directors? Have you served on an academic grant review committee for your employer? If so, I'm really curious to know what field you're in, since things appear to work quite differently there.

such a good question! I don't think I've ever had a particularly strong guttural reaction to a language, but I'm definitively biased and either see things that I quite like or dislike in a new language I see.

As I think about why those are I think one of the biggest reasons is familiarity, it's easy to get comfortable doing one thing and it truly sucks to feel like you don't know anything again (I think somebody called this the curse of knowledge? Idk).

Lately I've been intentionally the unknown, or, those languages that I'd look at and be like, "but why!?", for example, why would I want to learn or only use recursion when a for/while has worked for pretty much my whole career? or, following the same functional languages traits, why immutable data? seems like a step backwards?

But the thing is that people, quite likely smarter than me, or at least, a lot more familiar with challenges that I'm not familiar with, came up with solutions that diverge from what I know... and I want to know why! Why they came with immutable data or recursion or a language that pretty much everything is a list (LISP)... and the answers are quite surprising and at the same time I feel that joy of discovery that has almost been erased by years in the industry.

So when you come across a language that you have strong feelings/opinions about, wearing the shoes of the people using it might be quite enlightening and enjoyable.

While I say this, I'm a complete hypocrite because I won't give such courtesy to OOP... but hey, none of us are perfect ;-)

I'm in my mid twenties, I grew up with social media evolving around me and quit it during the pandemic in 2020. I still use reddit every now and then but stopped commenting and reading comments besides on technical subreddits or gaming ones.

I detest social media, I think even though it may not be the root cause as others have pointed out it's definitely amplifying the underlying issues. I think I can sum up my detest for it in one simple statement, it's all fake.

I know people who will delete a post on instagram if it doesn't get enough "likes". I put likes in quotes because what do likes even mean? Likes are just people scrolling through their timeline and liking something from whoever their friends with. They are essentially meaningless, they add no value to your life and just feed an arbitrary algorithm that runs on a positive feedback loop. So why do people obsess over them to the point of deleting content if they do not receive the "correct" amount of likes.

Meanwhile the actual currency of social media is really just attention. Every single service is fighting for your attention. More eyes on the timeline means more eyes on ads. So they create the whole experience of the network around keeping you on it. Suddenly you don't see content you may be interested in, rather you start seeing content that will keep you hooked. Just one more post, one more tweet, one more tik tok. Suddenly you've spent an hour of your life doing nothing besides consuming mediocre content.

This comment is getting too long and ranty, and doesn't even touch on the way the companies will prime your emotional state to be more receptive to whatever ad they want to show you. Adults have problems with social media and addiction to it, there is absolutely no reason a child should be consuming these addictive apps. They are a net negative on society, any perceived "connection" they supposedly give is vapid and fleeting and quickly overwhelmed by the negatives they push down the timeline.

This is what I thought too when I read the code. I don't think it's obvious at all!
I think that the current legitimacy crisis is the cause for this. Once you have one core source/belief invalidated, it's super easy to slide into more fringe views.
Most social norms make perfect sense. They have evolved from reasons that make sense in the context where they are performed.

With a dual band survey grade receiver, WGS84 coordinates can be derived to 2cm accuracy in the vertical [0] and even better in the horizontal.

WGS 84 is a time dependent datum - each addition to the ensemble is known as a realization. The software used to convert across time and reference frames is called HTDP [1]. This can also be done for the vertical using VDatum, which wraps HTDP.

The confusion around this issue usually has to do with how analysts actually handle coordinate information in software. For example ESRI, arguably the dominant GIS, does not have time dependent conversion capability. In the US there is also a false equivalence that NAD83 == WGS84. Looks like NZ has a similar issue [2].

Developers also have to deal with this issue, since web mercator and the tiling scheme were designed for convenience and not sub meter accuracy.

I am glad we have this superior system than the terrible systems in socialist Europe, Aussie, or NZ.
Yes, I agree on Finland, they just don't seem to have the resources or logistics to fight on two fronts like that. My comment was more with respect to Ukraine. You don't need pinpoint accuracy-- or much accuracy at all-- to gradually demolish the city. The ability hit the desired quadrant may suffice.

As Ukrainians push more resources towards the east Russia's problem might be that such artillery isn't quite mobile, there's no run-and-gun capability there, while weapons capable of taking them out are man-portable.

Despite that, I don't see a happy ending for the Ukrainians here. As much as Russia has already lost, they can't accept defeat in this without the power structure suffering what might be a deadly blow.

yeah I led with a lot of trigger words, it just wouldn't be accurate to pretend there is a more generalized group of people that would seek it. that drug doesn't/didnt get airtime as a remedy in non-republican news sources.

> I don’t have a strong reason to think the USA has a worm problem

Two thoughts on that

1) I don't know if we really need to quantify it. We need to verify/validate that this pipeline happens. Worms -> Covid -> Ivermectin -> less deaths/hospitalizations, but maybe we could just give it to people. Just throw it in the drug cocktail for treatment.

2) We already do this in some cases. Untreated but latent gonorrhea can cause miscarriages. People planning pregancies get a variety of preparatory treatments from doctors, within the long list of stuff can be a gonorrhea treatment, just by default. There is no need to even test for it, "hun I've only been with youuuuu where did this positive result for gonorrhea come frommmmm", we just spare everyone that conversation and just give the treatment for it to help avoid the complications or miscarriage. I could honestly see the same for Ivermectin.
Hey Daniel, I remember that strong voice. You definitely had the right architectural instincts, basing everything on singletons in CodeIgniter was not great, plus all the other countless mixing of separate concerns, definitely made some things difficult. From my perspective, the whole lack of progress was not prioritizing the right things in the right way, i.e. there should have been an intense focus on delivering iterative value quickly, but the right value, like things the market wanted and that would actually make a difference in decisions about whether or not to choose another solution. I think we could have managed that even with the tech debt. My current project also has a lot of tech debt (some worse than EE), but we're still able to grow the business and are currently on a trajectory to become the market leader because we're still able to get the right value out quickly (well that plus good marketing, sales, etc). That's not to say we're just piling on more debt, we try to leave things better than we find it, new code is specifically designed for easy maintainability and extendability, and we still take time to invest (but not 2 years). But to me it says maybe we can have both, but it's all about priorities and trade-offs, and we just spent too much time on the wrong stuff.

The point is, it is unstable if it's wrong. Almost all "knowledge" is a simplification of reality anyway, so it still holds even if it's more right than wrong.
I'm about to release a product on https://FakeYou.com that does real time voice conversion to a target voice. The quality is so-so, but I think we'll improve it quickly.

You can see demos of our voice conversion on https://storyteller.io near the middle of the page (section "3"), where my voice is converted into Donald Trump's voice. (I know, I should have used SpongeBob. We're going to have better product demos soon.)

(We're hiring if you're interested in virtual production. VTubing, Hollywood deepfakes and production pipeline inversion, or even SasS marketing tools.)
Given the existence of passive solar trackers that work mechanically, it's really hard to see how a complicated active tracking system could possible outcompete for a PV system.

However, the company in the article is involved in concentrated solar power, so perhaps the situation is different enough to warrant such a system. I can _sort of_ see how there could be a feedback loop where changing ambient temperatures and radiative heat from the tower might effect the reflective array in complicated ways that would make it hard to maintain a very tight focus point. And, if tightening the focus point of the array can double or triple the incident W/m^2, maybe that gets past some sort of pass/no-pass temperature threshold that allows for higher overall energy conversion....

Agree with this assessment, Cindy Holland is bitter she was pushed out and reached out through "channels" to deliver her own take on events. Its not really reporting just highlighting a power struggle from an individuals viewpoint(Cindy).

If the events mentioned in the story are in fact a cause of NFLX's decline is another story. People were forced inside(globally) during the pandemic and consumed alot more media than ever before in history. The quality of shows at NFLX has gone down considerably the past 2 years. NFLX pushed a show that alienated alot of people with Cuties. Friends and other hit shows left NFLX. Inflation has hit a 40 year high and gas and food are expensive, people are cutting costs and NFLX seems like an easy cut.

Would Cindy have stopped all of the above events? Maybe the quality issue but costs(under her) seemed steep, who can say? I think no matter who is at the top NFLX would have suffered in some way. If Ted had chose Cindy instead of Bela Bajaria we would have a similar article talking about Bela's sources and how Cindy's excessive spending and smaller show lineups are killing NFLX.

I'm very much just a wannabe developer, not yet had a tech role anywhere, but have been coding and making stuff for a long time. One thing Gitlab is great at, besides being open stuff like this, is being extremely welcoming to oss contributors. I applied for a technical writer job there, and before I even heard back I started looking at doc issues and making MRs. Messed up a little the first time, and was immediately helped by some employees and given feedback and direction. I kept going for like a month and felt like part of the team for brief moments. Someone there even offered to video chat with me and go over some career advice. It was really nice, I got nominated that month as a contributor MVP. I was unfortunately screened out of the job at the first stage, but still very much appreciate how nice the people I was working with were.

We should just apply a 500% tax or something ridiculous to these ad companies that claim to be tech companies.

They don't actually contribute anything to society, they are just vampires leeching on attention and time and selling whatever data they get.

In a perfect world they wouldn't exist at all, in our flawed one they should have to pay the price for providing essentially nothing.
