I mean, the New Left Review is an academic journal. The author is probably an academic rooted in the Marxist/Marxian strain of western philosophy and thus communicating through the appropriate vernacular of the discipline.
My favorite example: `cp -r` is recursive. `scp -r` is recursive. `chmod -r` removes read permissions; `chmod -R` is recursive.
Sorry, that may have been poorly worded. I wanted to preempt the objection of “well, you say you don’t want to be dependent on smartphones, but then you’ll just be dependent on some other type of computer”. I wanted to make it clear that the problem is about rethinking our relationship with computing in general, not just with smartphones.
That comes with it’s own challenges - ie limiting speed to 20mph in the UK would realistically mean it can only be used in areas where there are schools and lots of pedestrians - ie less chance of an incident being fatal but possibly more chance of an incident.
Wet shaving is also a great experience IMO, even with dirt cheap razors and soaps and brushes I prefer it. As the article stated a single safety razor handle will last basically a lifetime too.
It could be because they are written by a single person and not edited often.
>They have their uses. I wouldn't try frying eggs in a cast iron, for instance (technically you can, but it requires an absurd amount of oil). Also, claiming that they "seem to be poisonous" without any qualifiers is a little misleading. To my knowledge they're only poisonous during manufacturing (ie. the precursor chemicals) and when they get too hot.

Nonstick pans contain hormone disrupting chemicals. Just google it and there are numerous resources. Nonstick chemicals are also released into our rivers and waterways and basically impossible to remove (lots of resources for this as well).

>From nonstick pans to food packaging to make-up, hundreds of everyday products are made with PFAS chemicals that have been linked to adverse health effects, including cancer, weakened immunity and low birth weight.

>They are also a persistent pollutant in the environment, with high levels found in many public water systems.

If you don't like cast iron then carbon steel is a similar but easier to maintain alternative. If those don't work, then enameled cast iron (i.e. Le Creuset) works.
Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer” does explore the common quality of low status/perception of failure in the personal development of German authoritarian leaders.

(Yes, yes - Godwin…)

Otherwise powerful people (or people capable of being powerful) can obviously have some kind of internalized “low status” beliefs, so it’s not much of a stretch to expect them to seek explanations/redefinitions that deny those self-perceived weaknesses.
I wanted to say the same thing. He moved the goal posts from things which "would draw hoots of derision from an audience from the year 2022" to things which there has been some marginal, unevenly distributed, incremental change to in the last 10 years, then said he got it about 50% right.

More generally, this is the issue I have with futurists: they get things wrong, and then just keep making more predictions. I suppose that's okay for them to do, unless they try to get people to believe them, and make decisions based on their guesses.

Maybe I should say this is really a problem I have with people who give any credence whatsoever to the foretune telling industry, to which "future studies" seems at least practically related.
Try sliding all the bars to the left (except sim time scale).

The blocks seem to try to clear themselves. :-)
Cases where "UI should be a function of state" seem like a small sliver of all use cases. Probably not worth the complexity for implementing directly in the browser. And there are plenty of conditions that just prohibit the pattern entirely as far as I can tell. Things where referential stability matters, like you have a contentEditable or allow arbitrary edits on a canvas.
> I wouldn't try frying eggs in a cast iron, for instance (technically you can, but it requires an absurd amount of oil).

You need to learn how to season and care for cast iron. It doesn't take an absurd amount of oil, and the egg should slide out with ease.
They can just as easily cause mental illness. Marijuana can cause psychosis [1] but the cannabis lobby pretty much won and there's nothing on the packaging indicating this risk. Cannabis is involved in approximately 50% of psychosis, schizophrenia, and schizophreniform psychosis cases. Thats significant, wouldn't you say?

In the same vein, DMT raped my brain and I felt like a fucking husk for two years after breaking through.

These things are oversold. We should legalize them, but lets not kid ourselves about how potent and powerful these substances are.
I only use cast iron, some cheap pan i bought at Ikea a decade ago. Never seasoned it. I just put some butter in it and then throw in the eggs.

What issue are we even talking about?
I use a safety razor as well but only because it's easier than getting mad at roommates for destroying my straight razor blades because they're too lazy to find a real knife. Straight razors are waaay quicker and easier to shave with, and I cut and scrape myself way less when using one.

Traffic jams.

Nope, still there; no major changes from what I can see:

https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/traffic-index/ranking/?country=... (compared to 2019)

https://www.adac.de/verkehr/verkehrsinformationen/staubilanz... (just highways; seemingly much worse, possible twice as many hours spent compared to 2012)

Attracting a bar-tender's attention.

Nope, technical solutions to that "problem" are a curiosity, I think. Would immediately classify a place as less-classy in my eyes. Maybe that's just me, and maybe it's widespread in more futuristic parts of the world. Honestly, wasn't that big a deal in 2012.

Resetting a microwave's clock after a powercut.

Nope. In addition, you get to update the firmware of your fridge and troubleshoot its wifi. I just got a microwave without any kind of display.

Replacing used up items (toothpaste, butter).

Nope.

Tasting a dish to see if it's salty or spicy enough.

I don't understand why you'd expect a "solution" to this "problem" to come up now. What's changed? What kind of technology is on the horizon for this? Who would even buy a gadget that purports to tell you something you can find out with a spoon?

Recharging gadgets.

Nope. More gadgets, more recharging.

Waiting for a taxi.

Nope. Apps instead of a phone call, that's the major change. And a percentage going to tech companies, of course. Though you could order a cab with an app in many places in 2012, and can't order one with an app in many places in 2022. Personally, I still call.

Flossing, deodorising, and most manner of personal hygiene.

Again, why on Earth would you expect a solution to this arrive anytime soon? How would that even work, for something as general as "most manner of personal hygiene".

Monthly billing cycles.

Nope. Many providers try to trick you into yearly contracts, but I don't think that's what was meant.
Do you want another useless feature in your browser? Because they tried that with Do Not Track, and it is absolutely useless, because a website can ignore it.
On the contrary the simplex method IS used to solve regular linear programs, despite the existence of polynomial time barrier/interior-point algorithms.

Yes, simplex is worst case exponential and barrier is worst-case polynomial, but depending on the problem, the average case characteristics are very different. Depending on the problem, simplex can beat barrier methods. For many large LP/MILP problems, heuristics and randomness usually dominate solution time rather than simplex vs barrier. That’s why commercial solvers so thoroughly beat open-source solvers —- their heuristics are far superior.

For NP-hard problems, it’s not a good idea to judge algorithms by their worst-case complexity —- which only provides bound — but by their real world performance. Before Karmarkar’s method, there was another polynomial time algorithm by Khachiyan. Despite being polynomial time, it was too slow to be of any practical interest.

The point is that A) that's a framework and B) that requires you to compile Svelte files.

If you want to write declarative UI in pure JS then you need the browser to do these DOM optimisations for you, and diffing the changes is the way to do that.

I think that for the cases where you're authenticating on one device in order to allow access on another device, this is done by bluetooth communication between the devices, and as a result you have to be within bluetooth range of the auth device to initiate the auth flow.
Word of warning from a 15 year double edge razor user.

Just because it can theoretically be cheaper to go the double edge razor route, doesn't actually mean it will be.

First there are all those blades to try. Then soap brushes, then soaps (so many artisan soaps). Then you find yourself looking at aftershaves (so many of those too), and balms, you might even decide to try pre-shave products. Then you will find more soap, or cream, or shave sticks you want to try. Then more razors, slants, open comb, shavettes....

If you let it, you can find yourself spending way more on products after switching to a double edge razor per year than you were with cartridges.

Yes, you can bring some of these costs down by buying samples.
With a "safety razor" you can really cut yourself. Surely it's my fault, but I don't want another visit to the E.R. I went back to Mach3, $30 per year is worth it to me compared to risking expensive emergency room visits.
Carbon steel pans are dope, I wish more people knew about them.
The article does not fully explain it, but the proposal is about using FIDO to sign in to services. The article simplifies this as signing in by unlocking your phone, but that is just one way to do FIDO (and possibly the most common way). If you prefer not to use your phone, you can also use a YubiKey or similar on your desktop/laptop; pushing FIDO as a standard would probably make it possible to use a YubiKey with much more services than today!
Shaving technology peaked with the Mach 3. I can't even think of the last time I needed to buy razors b/c the Mach 3's last so damn long. It's probably been a decade

But you can't see those changes until the actual DOM changes as well. It's only because of react's insistence that mutation is evil that this became a problem. You could just directly update the thing you wanted to and just skip the whole diff thing.
Ask HN: Analysis paralysis – how can I make a decision?
I’ve been “stuck” trying to make a decision for over a month. This decision is relatively important and will affect my life in the near term (12 months) but I don’t believe any option will result in drastically different long term effects.

I seem to be stuck in analysis paralysis; I spend many hours online casually gathering data and reading relevant articles. I’ve made lists, drawn up pros and cons, and even in a last ditch effort wrote a quick Ruby script to output an option thinking I could let that thing decide for me.

Alas, I’m still stuck. When you’re faced with an important decision where there doesn’t seem to be a clear “best” option, are there any concrete, systematic techniques you use to arrive at an answer?
You'll need tests for those on graphql too.

I was referring to how hard some companies make it to ship basic code.

The graphql setups I've had to work with are all far more complicated than a function that returns an array and if your framework needs more than that to dump it out on an http request, you've got problems, but SQL isn't it.
It's far far creepier to be overly concerned about plastic waste than about the gasoline cars on the road. Plastic waste has almost zero impact, zero, compared to the gasoline, brake dust, and tire microplastics coming off of cars.

Where do all the microplastics in bodies of water come from? It's not plastic waste in landfills, it's tires on the road, which wear down and wash into bodies of water. Every single time your drive.

Recently it was found that an essential chemical in tires for hardening them breaks down into neurotoxins that are killing massive amounts of salmon in the pacific northwest. Where is the public outcry? Nowhere!!

So that is what incredibly creepy: people pretend to care about the environment to the point they make massive judgements over plastic waste, but they refuse to even consider the amount of driving that's forced onto nearly every person in the US, and we don't even consider ways to reduce that environmental impact, or allow people to even choose to live with less impact. Instead we ban the types of city planning that would allow people to go about their daily lives without the climate destroying, COPD causing, microplastic creating form of travel: cars.
> History tidbit: Jim Clark, the founder of SGI, invented the GPU which was what made SGI machines so fast at 3D.

Even more trivial: When I moved to Silicon Valley I bought a used Porsche on a whim (my recruiter implied it was a proper consultant accessory in SV) and fixed it up a bit until it became my daily driver. When I researched the title I discovered Jim Clark was the original owner. So I’d like to credit Jim Clark for starting me on the road to speed up my commute.

Modern mass-market cast iron is garbage. Lodge's marketing department has managed to convince people that their garbage pans are actually better, and that the texture holds on to seasoning, but it's all nonsense. It's vastly cheaper for them to produce pans by skipping the polishing step. You can still get good polished cast iron, but the pans cost hundreds of dollars. Next time an old relative dies, go raid their kitchen for the good stuff.
I think for this kind of niche, academic topic (even though the discutants are quite well known) 100k views per week after publication is nothing scoff at.
I am 47 and I have never used any shaving cream more than maybe a handful f times in my life.

I shave in the shower, and I use Aveeno Body wash for shaving. For years, I simply used conditioner in the shower - basically rub it all over my hair and face, then shave my face. I have never used a mirror to shave either. I just use my hand on my face to know exactly what has been shaved.
That looks like fun. Let's make a few predictions of things that will most likely be outdated in 2032, in no particular order :

-Not having some sort of drone /robot inside one's home

-100% Solo video games

-Not eating bugs

Also, just FYI, there are actually two simplex methods. One is an algorithm to solve LPs (by George Dantzig), while the other is a derivative-free optimization algorithm for solving general unconstrained problems.

> There are fears that menstrual tracking apps could be used to punish those seeking a termination.

That sounds extremely far fetched. It makes much more sense that the police would go after abortion clinics rather than buy menstruation data and try to calculate whose pregnancy ended due to illegal reasons.

Similarly, the government had access to "anonymised" unanonymisable data. They could have used the data to catch those who broke lockdown. But for the most part they went after businesses who stayed opened.
I can give you at least one reason why I do not own a Sharp TV: I haven’t actually seen one for sale. The most obvious place to buy one locally is Best Buy, and my Best Buy has legitimately zero. I could, of course, buy one online, but for TVs I generally haven’t done this in the past. There’s obviously pros and cons to this.

This is all getting very silly though. We went from a market where you got what you paid for to well,… this. You can get what you paid for… kind of, if you don’t care about certain things and do fairly thorough research. And sure. I can try to dilligently pick an option that works best for me. The average consumer is getting completely fucked, however, and they are the ones driving all of the demand.

Gillette is ceramic coated and should last you about a month. Other razors are Teflon(PTFE) coated and last a couple weeks. I used to work in the shaving industry.
But products themselves are being dematerialised also. I.e. looking at my kids who constantly watch “gamers” and dream of getting the next battlepass. And games themselves are about data and IP etc.
Dirt cheap doesn’t mean a bad shave too, which is where that wealth of knowledge can come in handy. Astra plat blades are both some of the cheapest and also smoothest blades around for example.
But it's not necessary to turn shaving into a hobby with toys and status symbols (look at all the conspicious brand-name-dropping going on in these comments). However, the anti-Gillette marketing zeitgeist makes you think that that is THE alternative. Looking for information about safety/straight razor usage will undoubtedly suck someone into SEO-friendly shaving "enthusiast" traps unless they avoid it. People should be aware that there is a cheap, simple, boring, utilitarian alternative, but the "alternative shaving culture" will try to mislead them, even if from innocent enthusiasm.
If you're reading this thread and wondering how to get started with a double edged safety razor, try this starter kit from Maggard. I wanted to try it for years but never knew where to start. I've solely been using this kit for about a year.

It truly does less environmental harm than burning the typical amount of fossil fuel driving to work each day that he mentioned. You can quantify it. CO2 emissions from plastic production are comparable to the mass of plastic which is dwarfed by, say, a litre of petrol.

>> season and care for cast iron

So they need more work and skill than other pans. In other words: they are in fact less convenient.

Cast iron also has multiple issues when used with induction ranges, which are by far the most efficient/environmental cookers.
You can fairly quickly get a temporary non-stick coating on a stainless steel pan by seasoning it as you would a cast iron pan: spread a tiny amount of oil around the pan, heat until just smoking, allow to cool.
