> I find it incredible that people are capable of discrediting the very process that resulted in the platform for their ability to express that.

Nobody was trying to discredit science.

Some people refer to "science" (in quotes) because any criticism of a policy or individual was cynically dismissed as a criticism of science itself.

"So it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science" is an actual quote by someone in power to shut sceptics down.

The people who used science as a shield from criticism of course wanted everyone to forget that in complex situations, especially in a new situation where not enough data is available, it's very common that scientists disagree on something.

Being sceptical of a scientist's interpretation of reality is actually science.
From the blog you posted:

You are talking about updating state, react author is talking about resetting. That's a big difference.
Wait until he finds out where most people in the US came from...big twist incoming.

> This will not allow you to build very rich apps without implementing a significant chunk of the frameworks you dislike so much

I am currently working on an app at work that wants SPA functionality, but they won't let me use any of the frameworks. Tons of vanilla JS and Jquery. I am sure what I have written is probably considered a crime against humanity in some place.

Does it work? Yes. Is it an elegant and maintainable codebase? Not by my definition.
The food was pretty good when I had it. Maybe they're sourcing from different distributors? Would be weird for a food operation of that size, but the stories here are not tracking.
The core ideas here are cool, but switching from a symbolic, schematic based approach to code seems insane for what amounts to strictly analog/RF design. In integrated circuit design, "modules", parametric components, and bulk connections are standard practice in our schematics. We can also integrate this/use the same techniques with relatively high performance layouts. There's no reason the same couldn't be used for PCBs, and I'm honestly a little surprised that those features don't exist given that the only two major IC design software companies also make PCB design software.

I've mostly done analog IC design, but I've also done a not insignificant amount of verliog/vhdl, programming, infra as code, and pcb design. I can't pin point exactly why, but I just can't see how you accomplish the same thing visually and/or information ally with code as you can a graphical schematic.
Which is by the way impossible due to the timing (he was born in Brazil 100 years ago hence his parents must have migrated there before Hitler took power in 1933)

A few minutes with window open and you are back to the outside CO2 levels, so I don't think it's just CO2 (unless you have really high levels of it, sensors are pretty cheap nowadays and can serve as a good reminder to let in some fresh air).

Not sure about pollen but trees produce chemicals that kill pathogens which attack them. Which is why it's healthy to breath forest air especially when you have a cold. Plus they are great at filtering air.

btw 'Think of time in nature as a "multivitamin" — it's best to take it every day' - I don't know how this ends up in articles like this with so much research against it (multivitamins that is), they might have as well been suggesting draining your blood everyday.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. That sounds like a great project idea. To draw a black and white one, this write up (from the person that inspired my project) would be a great place to start: https://avinayak.github.io/art/2021/01/09/noise-planets.html

This is the sort of thing I think about when the pro-urban/pro-density/anti-car people talk about their vision for the world. I live in a city now, and the lack of substantial nature is suffocating to the extent that I plan to move. The idea that we should all live this way to conserve space—a resource which is only scarce in these urban places—seems excessive to put it mildly.

EDIT: A lot of urban folks are rebutting my “substantial nature” complaint with references to their city’s parks, which is amusingly illustrative of our differing perspectives. I was thinking “mountains and forests”, not just green spaces scattered amid the concrete.

EDIT 2: A lot of urban folks are talking like the suburbs are swallowing up the countryside. I’m sure they’ve grown, but it’s still a big world out there people. I can’t recommend a cross-country road trip enough. Y’all need to leave your cities once in a while and see the world that you have such strong opinions about! :)
I seem to have a whole host of friends moving to Tampa. Tennessee too. It’s getting a little nutty in the Pacific Northwest.
Does every branch of government have the authority to escalate to forcible imprisonment for noncompliance with their policy?
That is so wildly off the mark it is preposterous. State and local officials were almost entirely responsible for the actual implementation of pandemic response measures. And when various cities and states got tired of the pandemic (despite record deaths) they simply ignored the CDC.
The hotel could likely point to legally binding terms that the occupant is responsible for all damages. Insurance companies are used to dealing with "odd" events where many things have to go wrong.
I'm fairly certain you're trolling but as a good rule of thumb if you find yourself fighting your framework you picked the wrong one.
If it isn't a phishing attempt it would be really surprising to me that they would use http. BTW, https://exacttarget.com redirects to an official Salesforce product page, but that doesn't guarantee it to not be phishing.
That _should_ be their role, but unfortunately they overstepped.

The CDC implemented an eviction moratorium for around a year (September 4, 2020 through August 26, 2021). That had very real, negative impact on landlords during that time. I doubt those effected would call it toothless.

But, unless you know something that wasn't in the article, a scurrilous one.

To be born in Brazil in 1922, his parents must have moved at least a decade before Hilter had any sort of power. Nazis fled to Brazil because there was already a large German community there.

It's so interesting to me that we still struggle to get out of the 'hours worked' mindset when considering how valuable someone is to a company. I would argue it's completely irrelevant if someone is gaming, even if it's almost all their time. The question to answer is, what value are they actually bringing to the organization? Would you rather have someone that's useless but working hard 10 hours a day over someone who's brilliant but only works 2 hours a day? I certainly wouldn't.

I think competent organizations will actually do the counter and embrace trusting their employees. IME, it is basically already impossible not to -- there's just way too much work and complexity for someone to accurately know exactly what all of their reports are doing.
Most csv utilities support an alternative delimiter. If I need to edit a file by hand, I'll typically pick an uncommon character for the delimiter (pipe "|" works well since it's uncommon). For me, that pretty much entirely eliminates any of the pain with CSV.
The lines begin to blur in fun ways with JITs, I think, too. I believe Erlang with BeamAsm does bytecode compilation for the BEAM VM, which JITs it to native code (via AsmJit, a neat C++ library it seems?)

With Fibers you can implement user-space switching between virtual threads. For example, if a thread is going into a top-level select, switch it to a small stack putting the original large stack into a pool. On wake resume switch back to a larger stack. That’s basically what Project Loom is doing I suspect.
Not the same thing, but a friend of mine invented an infrared lens based on lobster eyes, with the application being to focus IR energy from heaters down to where it's needed. Ordinary glass doesn't pass much IR, so you can't make an IR lens for this purpose out of glass; and quartz is not practical for other reasons. His lens uses metal reflectors in what amount to tubes, on the model of lobster eyes, to focus the IR. It acts like a lens, not a mirror, in the sense that it's in front of the IR source, not behind it. The company is Radiant Optics.

Anyone else find the numbers in that table strange? Compare the figures for 72 vs 144 golfers:

Why would the ratio depend on the cost of the payout?
This is a ridiculous accusation. He was born in Brazil in 1922, got his first job in Brazil in 1938 and seems to have lived in Brazil his entire life. Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933.

Irving Kahn is another example of someone who worked, I believe, until he died at 109. Famous investor, was a TA in Ben Graham's course when Buffett was a student (the latter is now 91), and worked in fund management from 1928 (good timing) until 2015 (87 years in all)...but not at the same company.

Not everyone finds themselves in the kind of job that they are happy to do through old age, but it is nice to see when it happens.
> Imagine you travel on an airplane, and the owner of the airplane drops of you off on the middle of the trip just because it's his property. That's your view.

Your analogy (well, metaphor, really) is flawed, on multiple levels.

First, I as a traveler presumably have agency, probably paid for the privilege, and you agreed in advance to transport me.

It is undisputed that I am a fully realized human being with all attendant rights, such as they are.

But even the ways in which your metaphor is not flawed don't support your point of view.

My presence aboard, having been agreed to ahead of time, is assumed not to pose any costs, danger, difficulty, or hardship that isn't accounted for by the ticket I bought, but most importantly, if ANY of that changes the owner (or rather, operator) of the aircraft absolutely DOES have the right and even obligation to put me off the plane at the earliest opportunity (including making an unscheduled stop for that purpose), for offenses as mild as simply being somewhat unpleasant toward the other passengers or crew, much less acting in a way that may actually be threatening or frightening.

As a passenger, transportation is a privilege, not a right, and said privilege can be revoked at any time, despite having been paid for in advance.

Also, in case you never paid any attention to the legalities of purchasing a ticket for air travel, despite having taken your money, the airline really isn't obligated to do more than make a best effort attempt to get you (and/or your luggage) to your destination. Their best effort doesn't even have to be particularly good or effective, which is how and why people end up stranded or stuck with little to no reason or recourse.

You’re presenting a false dichotomy. There are plenty of dense places with incredible nature within just an hours drive. In the USA, Maybe not so much outside of the West Coast of the USA however.

Personally, living in a city close to nature(seattle area) has been the best thing for me so far in my life; I have spent a stupid amount of money making it happen but wouldn’t trade it for anything. On the flip side it’s not for everybody, so don’t just take my word for it.

On the other hand I will be riding my bike to a ferry, and then riding to a camp site on a beach on an island after work on Friday- weather permitting.

I like the idea. But I‘m turned off by the fact that there is no pricing information. Just a request access action button.

Maybe it’s vapor ware. Maybe they are checking market interest. Maybe they are looking for large pilot customers. I don’t see a product for me.

The discussion here is still interesting and I‘m grateful for the mentioned alternatives.

As for my pricing limits? Probably something between 10-50 USD per user per month, where at 10 USD I would very seriously look into it and at about 50 USD, I would have to carefully run the numbers.
I've often wondered what would happen if there was a standard text editor plugin for dealing with parquet and co.

It seems like these formats are disliked, as they are difficult to inspect - but there really isn't any reason UTF-8 bytes arranged in a large sequence (aka CSV) should be any easier to read except for editor support. Sure writes would be slower, but I'd expect most users wouldn't care on modern hardware.

I don't understand this response. Could you elaborate?
In both cases we're talking about a total training time of a few hours. My experience taking driving lessons and watching intro-to-programming classes make me think it's more like 1 hour to get productive with PHP (or Arduino, or Hypercard, or Excel) and 10 hours to drive a car safely without a driving instructor, but you could be right that it's the other way around.

Regardless of theoretical considerations, it's clearly the case that at least hundreds of thousands of people have used PHP without previous programming experience, and from talking to them (and maintaining their code, eugh, and worse, tweaking their servers—via TeamViewer on one occasion) I think the dirt-simple deployment model is a major enabler of that. They don't have to learn about decentralized version control and build processes to get something running.
And Germans are actually all over South America. Chile, Peru, etc. And North America too (I believe Germans make up the largest migrant group to the US, although what areas that includes is obviously somewhat controversial as Germany didn't exist until 1871 and it's borders have changed dramatically over the years..it is the largest self-reported ancestry group in the US at least, although I suspect that include lots of what is now Poland).

Ironically, given the context of the accusation, many of these migrants to South America were Jewish. But many were not, many were Christians looking to start millenarian communities, many were looking to flee the poverty or lack of land, a new life, whatever.

Remember too that Argentina in 1900 was richer than the US. South America seemed like the next big thing. Times change.
> the CDC is at worst going to do what it thinks is best for you

I don't want to get involved with what the CDC is doing here (because they're probably not doing anything too nefarious), but I would like to pull this point out. The intentions of an institution (or at least surface level justifications) are kind of unrelated to the point. What an institution thinks is best for someone and what that individual thinks is best for themselves are often quite different.

I'm reminded of the old CS Lewis quote here:

> Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Here's an amusing project: a program that benchmarks the user of a database software, to measure its ease of use.

The longevity of his employment is likely a result of the company's willingness to promote him instead of hiring externally, despite his start at the entry level. This is not likely to happen anymore, at least nowadays.

From the article: "After getting his first position as a shipping assistant, Walter showed outstanding skills and willingness to learn, always doing more than expected. [...] Shortly after, he was promoted to a position in sales. Then, he became a successful Sales Manager."

I once spoke with a professional baker who started off as a machine operator for a bakery in his late teens, then earned promotion to become a production supervisor and then distribution manager. He then moved companies to become a plant manager, and later an operations director involved in baking formulation, until becoming an account manager (sales) for large baking firms.

The commonality between these stories is that loyalty and hard work at a job has historically enabled people to earn a good quality of life. Nowadays, it intuitively seems like internal promotions from the very entry level are harder to come by, as many firms prefer to hire people with degrees for management or hire externally.

Instead of promoting internally like in the past, I read and heard from managers they prefer to recruit externally for management positions. They perceive that internal candidates lack "leadership qualities" from past interactions with them, and/or perceive that they produce more value in their current positions. When asked how they account for these people changing jobs for promotions to lead elsewhere, the response was that they would say they understood the former employees' positions and would wish them well (without openly reconsidering whether they were under-weighing the value of internal promotion).

Nature has an allure, whether it is a window by your desk, or plants in your office.

This year I made a resolution to add more plants to my office and home, and slowly both are filling up with various ferns and mosses and other indoor plants. The relaxing effects of being able to walk over to the garden shelf and have my thoughts to myself while I inspect them is something you don't get to enjoy often.

If you find yourself staying at the desk for long periods and want to get up more, get a few plants, find an area with some light or a lamp and see what you can do. It is pretty cozy!

Did you support them lying about mask effectiveness, destroying their credibility and leading to deaths?

There's no question the CDC increased deaths by calling masks ineffective at the beginning of the pandemic. Their credibility never recovered, especially not when they are still flip flopping to this day (recommendations on masks oscillated by the week, often in response to public sentiment/political pressure -- not science).

There is a study relating rise of CO2 to loss of IQ in indoor situations. The outdoor concentration of CO2 is never and won't be high enough in the future to have a significant effect, but climate change will raise the base level which will increase indoor levels - this may have the effect of making us a bit dumber.

However, I think improvements in insolation are much more significant in this respect.

Minor nit, the Walt Disney Corporation was founded October 16, 1923 and US copyright has anything published in 1926 or earlier in the public domain.

I rather doubt, though, that the fact that The Great Gatsby just entered the public domain this year has anything to do with the concentration of the market in the hands of a declining number of producers.
