After taking a stab into building with Gutenberg I'm incredibly bearish. Automatic has abandoned both of its customers, plugin/theme developers and non-technical website owners, due to, imo, huge amount of VC funding it took on. Gutenberg is at best, half baked and broken and at worst an ever changing API of compromises.

I'm trying to convince my partner to look into creating custom Shopify themes or plugins and possibly creating a full service consulting company.

The key to community college is to treat every instructor as a future co-worker. Impress them from day one with a professional attitude, do your work on time and when you are done you now know perhaps a dozen local people in your field.
Jobless majors are not the topic. The debate in this thread is not about educational outcomes, but net cost and net debt, and how we got there.

You are free to spend time playing video games and not learning to prepare yourself for a career. That is a choice one makes.

Outcome can be the basis for a claim for fraud - but that battle is already being fought elsewhere.

The true issue is, what incentives are at play that result in so much debt? Why cant you say thay "1 summer job is enough to pay for a year of tuition" anymore (this used to be the norm in the 70s!)

Whats preventing your students from working the summer to pay for tuition?
It isnt students. They are working all the same. What incentives does the school have that are contrary to that goal

I took a db class (Oracle) at a local community for kicks. My instructor was a former Wells Fargo executive - and knew every line of Oracle. He was rich - but his wife made him leave the house.

I will say - community college professors are more interesting than 24 year old grad students.
I'm not sure there's a good distinction between web apps or websites today.

What the fuck happened to just TELLING THEM!? Oh, that's right, they didn't want to listen because they'd rather take complete control of your machine, forcing you into what they want, and monetising every last aspect of "your" life, all the while hiding behind the excuse of "the data says" to do what they want.

The amount of pro-spyware comments here is, quite frankly, excruciatingly abhorrent. So many comments here smell strongly of corporate propaganda, since they also always repeat the same tired talking points --- and it makes me wonder how much shillage MS does. Or how many others think that because MS is big and "successful", they should emulate the increasingly abusive behaviour that it (and to be fair, the rest of Big Tech) engages in.

I haven't gotten a raise in probably 10 years. But realistically I make a lot more than most developers where I live (Los Angeles) and there would be no reason for my company to give me a raise when I'm probably the highest paid non-sales person where I work (and often have been). So I'm ok with it.

Just got an extra side gig for 20-25% hours per weeks so it's like getting a 50% raise and feels great.

The problem we have is that getting traffic to a website is expensive and difficult compared to 5-10 years ago. This is really problematic for small businesses that just want traffic for search from local visits or in a niche category. Wordpress losing market ins't surprising, hosting costs money - and the choices for WP are pay wordpress dot com or get a shared hosting account like it's 2004. Facebook pages are free. Search isn't delivering traffic. Instagram, Facebook Pages, Google My Business, etc... are all making to cost of maintaining a nice website simply not worth it.

So in your view the government cannot make laws against abortion because the constitution doesn't say they can?

A friend of mine has a Wix account for who knows why. We were planning an event and he asked me to make a web page for it. I didn’t have the free cycles to do it at that moment, but he came back to me with a mostly finished Wix website a couple of hours later. I’ve gotta say, while I’m not interested in using it, I was impressed with how quickly someone less technical was able to get something decent up and running.
This is a feature, not a bug.

Complex systems are best built iteratively. You start small, plan, test, make things work well, and then continuously improve, clean, and polish over time, with a focus on maintainability, otherwise known as "this thing is easy to change"

Bigger systems are made out of smaller systems that are, themselves, built this way.

The clean-and-polish bits are critical. The issue with most software is that management at most organizations only focuses on "move fast and break things" and fails to reward -- or actively penalizes -- maintainability.

"if you still value the notion that local communities should be able to have their collective power represented"

Your town assembly can take care of the concerns of your town.

Your regional assembly can take care of the concerns of your region.

Your National Assembly can take care of the concerns of your nation.

We can get rid of gerrymandering and still have different levels of government, each devoted to a particular level of localism.

Indeed, having one level of localism interfere in the affairs of another level of localism seems like a violation of encapsulation, in the sense that a software developer would understand the concept.

I can understand the first notion: the 'price' offered is not enough to clear the market. In your example, there are fewer people who voluntarily would be doing slave labour for slave wages, than willing employers.

But this Rust port isn't idiomatic Rust, so it doesn't take much advantage of the improved idiom. Its authors call that out early.

Example: In C you're obliged to write a lot of counter loops, because the language does not have iterators, the idiomatic Rust is both smaller and easier to read because the counters weren't really for anything, they're just implementation details:

for (k=0; k< size(geese); ++k) // We need this k counter in C to index geese

for goose in geese // In Rust we can just have the geese themselves

But if you do a non idiomatic port, you carry across that loop as it was written, plus you gain the extra conversion noise. So this is a much less useful metric.
Crypto is certainly taking the bug bounty thing to the next level.
I have experience with both shopify and woocommerce and the difference is WooCommerce can be free if you spend the time or use free plugins. You can do anything with WooCommerce you can do somethings with shopify. Shopify has a base cost plus additional costs for anything but you can dump money on both.

Most of the frameworks and open source software is written by amateurs.

It is not a false equivalence. Doctors are not scalable. Is the physicality of it increase the value? The inventor of antibiotics has saved more lives than any single doctor. I might agree that a lot of developers are working on trivial things, but that doesn't take away from the fact that all modern advances in areas that save lives have software engineers directly involved somewhere in the chain to make that advance.

ProPublica did a story on this type of stuff. There have been many instances of ICE agents doing "mass deports" where they round up groups of people and deport them all. It's hard to keep track of this sort of thing but likely hundreds of people with full citizenship and mental disabilities have ended up deported to a country they know nobody at. Not that the fact that they're us citizens makes this any more fucked up, but it highlights how much power they really have

The ICE director has repeatedly made statements under the Trump presidency that they believe the organization is above federal law (like the army) and only beholden to the president's orders

The lab-leak theory is looking stronger by the day
> In her essay Regarding the Pain of Others, on images of violence and suffering, Susan Sontag famously asks: “What is the point of exhibiting these pictures? To awaken indignation? To make us feel ‘bad,’ that is, to appall and sadden? To help us mourn? … Do they actually teach us anything?”

I'll take a stab at it:

1. The point is basic education, let's call it "social literacy."

2. Not necessarily, though in some cases it obviously does.

3. Sadness is sometimes a consequence of the process of gaining social literacy-- same as when people cry while gaining literacy through reading novels, no?

4. Sometimes, but of course mourning is only one small category in the process of learning about the world around you.

5. Well, for one thing-- off the top of my head-- this knowledge essentially inoculates one against some of the worst types of religious demagoguery. E.g., "god's plan" is seriously questioned by some of the worst types of human-induced horrors, and reasonably rejected upon discovery of the worst natural horrors. See Dostoevsky's "Brothers Karamazov" (can't remember the chapter). Reasonable religious people may disagree, but the point is zealous demagoguery doesn't function well in light of such knowledge.[1]

1: Though it's no panacea: e.g., nihilism is an easy option in such conversations.

The Actual Worst Public Transit Systems
Excellent answer, thank you. I appreciate both the overall general answer and the detail specifically involving the nvidia driver itself.
The Terminal team is very aware of this code, and are not able to use it due to how Casey licensed it. They aren't even allowed to look at it. Casey deliberately licensed it as GPL so that Microsoft could not use it, actually. That's his choice, of course.

The Terminal team have a path forward to implement strong performance improvements based on techniques like those Casey described, and are working on those improvements now, I'm told.

Microsoft haters will continue to say all kinds of stuff no matter what Microsoft does, so Microsoft isn't doing this to appease anyone; it's just performance work that they didn't understand was as easily reached as it is, and they built the Terminal in wrong ways the first time around. Anyway, it's being fixed.

I've never worked at Microsoft but I've worked with a lot of MS employees throughout my career and I wish I could convey just how much the goals of the individual employees line up with people like us. The developers at Microsoft are people like us. Extremely and intentionally caustic feedback on Microsoft stuff does nothing but give those employees good reason to stop working on the projects they love, but which also get the most attention, like Terminal. This necessarily produces a worse outcome for the project.

I wish I could make the extremely vocal and vitriolic people understand that their vitriol is counterproductive in the extreme, and makes everything worse.

And the people who are good at winning elections are different from the candidates who are good at governing. So you're screwed either way.

At least with parties, the members of the party get to choose the boundaries of their concerns. E.g. the working families party in NY is a powerful presence in the state democratic party, and that is in a FPTP system.

If you vote for parties based on platforms, and then parties coordinate with one another to build coalitions, then you might just end up optimizing for governance.

Not perfect, but less flawed.
Six countries are about to go to the Moon
I was kind of hoping for some maps showing the influence of the Soviet Union’s westward displacement through Central Europe after WWII. They took bits of the Eastern frontiers of Poland and Czechoslovakia and then gave those countries chunks of German as compensation. The mass displacement of people because of these border shifts was unprecedented. Pretty much anyone of German ethnicity anywhere in Central Europe that wasn’t Germany or Austria had to move to Germany or Austria. The Eastern border of Poland was always kind of fluid so I don’t think there was that much westward movement there (beyond the anti-Communists who fled Eastern Europe in general in the 1945–8 period). I don’t know about what happened with the people who lived in the parts of Slovakia that became part of Ukraine. Czechoslovakia was always kind of oddly agglomerated country, so I don’t think many, if any of them would have traveled to the new Czech lands in the West and after the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993, thanks to the westward expansion of the USSR they ended up with less territory since the internal boundary between Slovakia and the Czech Republic remained the same through all of this.
> No way! If everyone could make 100k a year and we could have 2018 prices back...that would damn near be a utopia.

OK, it's good we agree on that.

About inflation: CPI has some aspects that underreport inflation and some that overreport inflation.

This is actually a serious topic for economists, not just for in conspiracy theory nuts. Though you can imagine that the former focus on different aspects than the latter.

I can write a bit more about this from an economics perspective. Some interesting keywords to look into:

- hedonic adjustment
- gdp deflator
- Big Mac index

Slight tangent:

Partially because inflation is such a 'subjective' topic, and requires judgement about how much better or worse the new iPhone is compared to last year's model, my preferred model for central bank policy is nominal gdp (level) targeting instead of inflation targeting.

Nominal GDP is the same as total nominal income, and basically just counts up every dollar everyone in the economy spends/earns. No judgement about the quality of iPhones necessary.

(Alternatively, you could target total gross nominal wages. It's almost the same in practice, because the ratio of total wages / gdp is fairly steady over time in the short run.)
This. A clutch of really nice laptops fail hard when you include the .ko GPU blobs, and most developers in BSD land shrug and say "use VESA 2D" which is fine, for all but high-DPI use. (ok, its fine everywhere, but sub-par. you use more grunt doing less work to try and deal with dumb video device)

so ok, not exactly "this == CUDA" but this == decent kernel module drivers for the GPU.

I bought some midrange AMD graphics card a few years back, picked for idle wattage, linux support and quiet cooling.

The card isn't silent, but it's quieter than the high end, low wattage PSU fan, which is needed to dissipate heat from everything else.

Anyway, eliminating the video card fan would probably make my desktop louder, which was counterintuitive to me at the time.

(The setup is extremely quiet, FWIW.)
They're an OTC platform and retailer. Meaning when customers buy or sell through their platform, the counterparty is Bitprime, not other customers. As for their "swap" service, that's just proxied to Changelly, another company.

Looks like they don't even maintain custody of user funds at all.

All this is very clear from the existing docs on their site.
