Not surprised by this. Visual Studio has always been very buggy for me. The last few times I used it went pretty well, but a few years back it was very broken (and they seemed to not care).
Presumably market segmentation. You're only allowed VMs that dont feel like shit (i.e. have gpu accel) if you pay for enterprise vGPU shit. Can't have someone buy two of your GPUs to give one to a VM, obviously.
It has a Skia target (in Microsoft.Maui.Graphics) which is theoretically very similar to how Flutter does UI.
Might be shocking for many, elective amputation should be something available in our society to adults. Same with if you want to have plastic surgery to look more like a cat. Freedom is the name of the game here. We absolutely should be offering sexual reassignment surgery. I am trans and have had sexual reassignment.

Doing it to kids? No way in hell should that happen. None of this, no elective nothing for kids. Society should decide what the age cut off is. 18 vs 21 vs ? but it should be a protected positive right.

Nor should we be arresting therapists for providing therapy, that's ridiculous and only going to cause harm. There are absolutely lesbians who are confused that they are ftm and vice versa. The government has no business dealing with your relationship between your doctor/therapist.

That's not really a mark against your school's curriculum. Web frameworks are still changing really fast. No university or community college is going to keep up.

I did some web dev give years ago and I already feel pretty out of the loop with the latest popular trends/frameworks in web dev.

I don't really consider it a negative in terms of employability either. The companies that are looking to hire new grads are not going to be testing you on the latest frameworks.

This brings back memories. Regina was written by a friend of mine at a university computer club in the 90s. I learned a lot from hanging out there.
>Presumably only if they'll have you?

Not in the US. Primaries are just the method that political parties use to determine who they should run in the actual election. You do not ever need party affiliation to vote in the actual election, but some state primaries are run in a manner that require you to register with the party if you want to vote in their primary.

Primaries are typically held months in advance of the actual election.
>Grothendieck almost never worked with specific examples. It has been said that once, when he was asked to use a prime number to demonstrate something on the blackboard, he said, “You mean an actual number? O.K., take fifty-seven.” Fifty-seven is not a prime number—it’s nineteen times three—and it is now known as Grothendieck’s prime.

I've had a few professors over my years in academia who took a similar approach to mathematics and I have to say I really benefited from it. I found that if you can do high level math with a,b,& c instead of 1,2,& 3 you can do any problem your going to run into.

I also left the story oh his Grothendieck’s prime in because I find it quite charming, the idea that this exceptional mathematician couldn't think of a prime when asked makes me feel a lot better about some of the sillier mistakes I've made over my career.
doesnt matter that it worked well if it still happened.
FWIW, Tyson lost that fight to Evander Holyfield.

"A unstated assumption here is a winner-takes-all election system"

In terms of the math, increasing the number of representatives from each district is the same as making the districts smaller. As the essay said:

"As the districts get smaller, then the size of the shift needed (to punish the previous majority party) describes the asymptote of the tangent, converging towards the reality of what the public actually wants."

Increasing the number of representatives from each district is the same thing, as the number increases, the shift needed (to punish the previous majority party) describes the asymptote of the tangent, converging towards the reality of what the public actually wants.

But there remains some distortion, however small. You eventually get into infinitesimals that have no practical impact, but it is still there. If you have districts that only have 1,000 people each, and each district elects 1,000 representatives (everyone in the district) then the distortion disappears, but if you have districts with 1,000 people, and they only elect 999 representatives, the distortion reappears, however small that might be.

Also, from the essay:

---------------------

Some nations have fine-grained representation of land but course-grained representation of ideas

Some nations have fine-grained representation of ideas but course-grained representation of land

You cannot have both, unless you're willing to have a legislature that has something like 5,000 people in it, which is not practical. (For instance, the USA has 50 states, so if we wanted 100 representatives from each state, the legislature would have 5,000 people in it — clearly not realistic.)
I don't think objective is the word right word to describe this. It's algorithmic and deterministic. But it's not objective in the sense that it's objectively correct to group people like this. You're baking in a lot of implicit assumptions about how representation should/should not work by choosing this particular grouping algorithm.

It also doesn't remove the human factors from redistricting; humans would have to choose and approve this method. It's just laundering the gerrymandering through an algorithm to give it credibility.

But if you're the party that stands to benefit from changing redistricting laws, then the system loses credibility because you picked this method.

And if you're the party that stands to lose from changing these laws, then you're unlikely to self-sabotage yourself by doing so.
This wasn’t anything to do with Futter for the record and they even called it out in a quote saying that they continue to recommend Flutter in that article.
I'll consider it, but I really really don't want to invest more time into fixing things.

Like it's essentially finished. Then again, I can always branch it and see what happens.
The practice of using political party affiliation as a criteria at all for drawing district borders inevitably leads to gerrymandering. This part of the article does seem apparent, which is why the solution, to _not_ do that, seems mysterious in its absence.
No, some methods of counting rank choice ballots will sometimes pick a candidate who was no one's first choice. In particular, this must be so for any Condorcet method, because the Condorcet winner might be no one's first choice (imagine a setting where 1/3 of voters want candidate A then D, 1/3 want B then D, and 1/3 want C then D; 2/3 of voters would vote for D whether run head-to-head against A, B, or C, and yet D got no first place votes).

In instant runoff it is certainly true that the winner is always someone's first choice, and that was my point - sometimes the winner the method selects should not be the winner.

>why are we morally bound to adhere to their model of political authority?

We're not, the Constitution can be changed, the government can be replaced, you can go somewhere where government works differently.

The philosophical ideas behind some of the "unfairness" of the Constitution were good ideas and have led to a lot of higher-level fairness which people tend not to appreciate.

We're also just the longest surviving government in the world besides some very small exceptions, so apparently quite a few things worked.
How do you define parties in such a way that you can effectively outlaw them? And would that not make fundraising even more important to individual candidates, when there’s no party mechanism to provide support?
I believe it has had an effect.

As an example, I work for a European company whose product tracks people in an indoor space, as a byproduct of its main function.

Hi there David, as someone who isn't great at flossing but is interested in finding a more palatable approach (pun intended). Is there much research on the difference of using a good water flosser vs string? Or is it more so that any form of flossing is significantly better than none.

RCV has been passing in referendums here, which is changing some of the primaries, but at a very local level.
Phrasing this in terms of two tribes each with precisely one candidate and geographically homogeneous support bakes in some assumptions that I think break the model quite fundamentally.

In the real world:

* Rural vs. Urban produces a very strong polarization in party/policy support. So you simply cannot get the result described where you have one party winning all districts.

* There are many candidates both within a party and between them that would receive approval from a given voter beyond their first choice.

* Currently because of the structure of the system there can only be two serious parties. (A serious third party splits the vote and prevents either from being successful). But if you had more parties you’d probably get better representation.

Basically, I think this model is both oversimplifying to the point where it is useless for making claims about what would happen in our current system if we eliminated gerrymandering, and also not interesting as a model for other voting systems.

For what it’s worth I think Single Transferrable Vote and Approval Voting are both interesting options that get round most of the problems in our current system.

If enterprises have use cases then unless there is a good solid alternative example that shows it's universally the case one should always have many:1 it just doesn't seem like there is anything beyond "I think this is the better way therefore I won't let you do the other" backing the choice. If an enterprise wants 1:1 mapping of their devices using DHCPv6 for centralized logging, tracking, monitoring, avoiding device specific RA bugs/implementations/limitations, to consolidate the function while dual stacked, certain DHCP options to be available, or any other reason they have then someone else's non-applicable use case for many:1 isn't reasoning for nullification of those cases. In general I'm against any approach from a product/service that takes the stance "we just know better" and doesn't allow the operator to say otherwise even when I agree it is actually the superior way in most cases.

Yeah PD will give you a much an overkill block but there isn't really much of a block shortage. More importantly the alternative is NAT44 on the CLAT so only a single V6 address is required, this is actually what the standard says implementations "SHOULD" do in the single IP scenario as after all 464XLAT doesn't support peer to peer or inbound anyways. And of course people and orgs are free to simply want DHCPv6 on their devices even if it isn't perfect for every scenario.

A "Android doesn't want to support NAT44 for 464XLAT, assign a prefix the the device for the 464xLAT use case" stance I could totally understand. Or even "Carriers are not asking Android to support DHCPv6 deployment methods on LTE, DHCPv6 will only be supported on wireless" is very understandable. The current stance isn't like these though, it's simply "we don't like that type of deployment so we don't allow it". Or maybe I've just missed something big and there is a reason I should have forced a couple customers away from their use cases.
What makes you think that liberal arts colleges structurally lack a rigorous CS program? Did you go to such a program?

If anything, the smaller class sizes, generally affluent student body, and focus on seminar vs lecture make it just as rigorous if not more so in many ways.

I don't know that fairness has much to do with anything but both statements are true. At one extreme Tether had a .7% deviation over a 20 minute period, and on the other extreme Tether had a .7% deviation over 2 years. Which objective fact is more fair depends on what you're comparing it to.

That said, Tether is now back to trading at $1.00 on all the major exchanges.

> I don’t see why the makers of an app aren’t entitled to seeing how the app is used for the people who opt to use it. If I’m using windows terminal, I want them to know how often I use the hot keys, how often I split a terminal vertically then horizontally (alt-shift-d), etc. lest it be removed, since I know they don’t have infinite resources to dedicate to this single project to maintain every feature forever and ever.

The makers of an app are entitled to no more information about me and my use of it than I allow them to have. I think that it's reasonable to argue whether my allowance of sharing should be opt-in or opt-out, but I don't think that there is much scope for argument about whether I should be able to block the sharing of information if I choose explicitly to do so.

(One could argue that, as long as everything is disclosed up front, then the makers of an app have the right to demand whatever they want, and I have the right to accept their demands or else not to use their software. This is surely true in one sense; but, in another sense, it's exactly what the notion of "contract of adhesion" is meant to describe, and in many other contexts it's recognised as not a good thing.)

To the argument that the makers of app can use telemetry information to make their app better, I would say that that is doubtless true; but I would argue that is also true that I, and not they, have the right to decide where the boundary lies between my desire for privacy and their desire to improve their app. For example, perhaps—even likely—browser makers could make their browsers better if they knew exactly what sites I visited, but, if I found my browser reporting my history information back to Mozilla, then I would not say "ah well, as long as it makes for a better browser."

One data point. I have had difficult to control plaque for at least two decades. According to my dentist others have continuing problems with cavities. I don't.

For the past three years I've used an Oral B electric toothbrush without any improvement.

And then last January I made two changes that have made a huge change in my plaque situation (verified by my hygenist of three years).

First I upgraded my electric toothbrush to the Oral B 4000, which has noticeably more power, at Christmas. And second I changed my brushing technique. Instead of brushing flat against my teeth I now brush the gum line at my teeth and rotate the brush head to a 45 degree angle down at the gums. I then move the tooth brush back and forth over sections of teeth. Typically side or front though the backs if the front teeth require a slightly different approach.

After these changes my hygenist noticed a big improvement in my gums. I also reduced my flossing but when I do floss now theres very little pain, bleeding or swelling unlike before.

Your mileage may very but if you have plaque problems you might save on hygenists.
The thing is that there's no benefit to algorithmic social media, so erring on the side of caution is responsible. And we see a clear and extremely reasonable threat. The ideal benefit is that teens won't form a social media addiction.

Algorithmic social media uses the exact same principles as gambling addictions. Teens are much more subject to these exploitations and we don't let them sit in casinos all day and loot boxes have seen some regulation as well.

Social media may be even worse because the gamble is far less tangible, it's cost in the surface is only time and the reward is purely an emotional one.
> Then it's not a precedent.

I was very clearly referring to the fact that if the 2nd amendment were to be taken as an intent to allow citizens to revolt against the government then it is not clear on what grounds the seemingly absurd corollaries of that, as a legal position, would be dismissed. Which you haven't addressed at all except to say "but it's not actually precedent yet!"

It is not - because the Supreme Court has very obviously in Heller not interpreted it that way. So I don't know of what value anyone can argue this was the intent because the body defining the law of the land and the interpretation of the constitution does not agree with you.

But even if we grant the SC is not the be all and end all, you still haven't managed to actually address why that position would be absurd? What use are firearms against a Federal government which, to take an extreme example, gives itself Dune-style shields for all officers and personnel, but not civilians. Why are limits on arms, actually suitable to overthrow the government - so say, maybe a whole lot of Javelin anti-tank missiles as they are currently proving useful - not within the remit of the 2nd?
>Why do people need representatives in the age when everyone has a voice?

Because people are capricious, easily manipulated by emotion and generally refuse to acknowledge their ignorance on matters in which they insist on having opinions about.

Using the Twitter/Reddit voting model to run the world is absurd.
The amount of time I spend in a specificity war between theme styles and wp core's ever-changing sheets is far too much!

Well, the FDR presidency is kind of instructive. FDR succeeded in creating things like Social Security and various New Deal programs that definitely benefited poor people and bolstered the middle class (Rural Electrification and Homeowners Loan Corporation respectively, plus others). However, a key point he leaned on was that failure to act would lead to either a communist or a fascist revolution of the kinds seen in Russia and Germany.

Such an argument would carry weight today.
Indeed.

Even where you might once have thought "I'll add my own site, for the true fans, and take in orders of magnitude more money" - Now you can just add patreon (or an onlyfans) that handles that for you far more efficiently.

Then there are more niche providers like Floatplane (the Linus Tech Tips side-hustle/life-boat), who'll give you more autonomy and a CDN.

LinkTree was when the penny really dropped for me. Pretty much just an API landing page to point you to the other platforms.

Maybe the only next step left, is stuff like https://nametag.org/ - using an NFT to be your presence.

It's all very odd, and as I said above, makes me feel very old.
To me it sounds like a fomo investor trying to hedge their bets.
Recent studies[1][2] have shown that memories are much more interlinked in the brain than previously thought.

Similar to the chess examples elsewhere in this thread, the key to a good memory is utilizing more of the brain when storing them. When reading a book, if you vividly experience a certain passage instead of just reading/memorizing the words, the text will become more easily accessible in various situations, e.g. when you feel similar to the main character.

For conversation, trying to recall the context (place, time, surroundings), may just bring the quote you search for to the forefront.

This is distinct from how you store "facts", which is more like a hash table you can scan through. Episodic memory is more abstract and can be suppressed by a number of factors, such as negative emotions about parts of the context.

As a kid I remember playing an old MS-DOS game that was kind of similar to MoO but may have predated it. You were in command of a new government on a resource-rich planet called Harmony and you had to steer your society through a star cluster full of intrigue and war. There was more of an over-arching narrative than something like MoO or Civilization, but much of the gameplay was similar. It had a bit of a Dune vibe.

For the life of me I can't remember what this game was actually called. Does this ring a bell for anyone else? Would love to look it up again.

I did some reading through the code to understand what was going on here. After a brief read, it appears that most of this telemetry code is only enabled when ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) is enabled.

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/2b202ce6d99340401...

ETW is explicitly opt-in on windows and is almost exclusively used for debugging, not to mention it requires a kernel mode driver to be loaded.

https://nasbench.medium.com/a-primer-on-event-tracing-for-wi...

I have not read all the code, but from a brief overview this tracing behavior and telemetry wouldn't be automatically activated anywhere except on Azure.
