> I always wonder how many words have an etymology which predates written use significantly due to the "class" of people who use that word

I studied a bit of Shakespeare at university, and my awesome lecturer (https://researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/619) was always very clear to note that for many phrases "Shakespeare was the first to write it down", which is quite different to "Shakespeare made up this phrase / word".

To your point, he of course was attempting to write for a variety of classes, including the illiterate (his plays weren't written to be published, that only happened after his death - they were ephemera to be performed and witnessed). His success may very well have come from using many phrases that the "lower class" would have recognised from use not just inference.
I'm upgrading my programming chops, and sadly the course I'm taking occasionally has exactly this kind of tutorial in its "Further Resources" section. One was a link to tutorialspoint, if you want to know just how bad it was. The code doesn't even work because all of the examples on the page have parentheses omitted, probably because of a copy error. It drives me nuts because sometimes what they link to is entirely wrong.

I pointed it out in the course forum, but they really seem to not care.

I also noticed this with Common Lisp. It seems absolutely everybody learning Lisp thinks they have so much to offer, they fill Google's search algo up with their "tutorials." But they're all traceable to the source they mangled in trying to make it appear original, and they get ridden with wrong descriptions, etc on top of that.

That, to my mind, is one of modern Lisp's biggest downfalls - 90% of the resources Google will find for you are utter crap. Don't get me started on "Quantum Lisp" because I ended up working for one such shyster for a week before I realized he was hoping I might be able to provide him some legitimacy. He really had none, and was duping everyone around him. Eventually he and his business were escorted out of the building by police, although I was long gone by then and don't know the story behind that one.

Just because you're currently learning something, does not mean you should be writing a tutorial or pretending you are a resource for others.
I did the same thing, I got into partying and drugs and failed out of school. Ended up at CC for a bit. I just did liberal arts, coasted, got my credits, worked and matured a bit and finished up at a different university. I overall enjoyed my time there. Just being 19-20 was an interesting time in general. I liked that I could just take classes that seemed interesting. I took things like bowling, tv production, hebrew lol
Do you think town services are immoral? If police, fire-dept., water, roads, and schools are not immoral - how do you propose to pay for them? Or do you wish to experience a "true property value" without those services?

What's more immoral: Property taxes or zoning that prevents other people from building what they want on their own property? It's not the increased demand for homes that drives increases in prices, and hence property taxes, it's the prohibitions on new construction. Surely those are immoral too!
I wouldn't reach for Kotlin for backend projects at all tbeh, since the ecosystem on that side is (relative to Java) immature and doesn't always play well with standard Java tools such as JPA. Non-standard tools are half-baked, inconsistently maintained and not ready for primetime. But for apps, like in mobile, the ecosystem is rich and I would prefer it over Java, especially with advances such as KMM and KotlinJS.

My point being, Kotlin vs Java isn't just about language features, it's about community, ecosystem, use cases etc.

(Fwiw, personally I prefer Kotlin because it's more expression oriented than Java.)

You don't need X11 to run a browser. But you are right that it's pretty inconvenient without.
Yes. I'm pretty sure it's actual sabotage.
My name was spelt incorrectly on my driver's license for several years. No repercussions, nobody ever noticed. (Due to the nature of it, if you noticed it, it was weirder than just a vanilla typo.)
This isn't surprising or complicated. In a liquidity crunch you sell whatever you've got. These assets are going to correlate because they are all interchangable: things you can get rid of to get cash.

A good city can't withstand people moving there and maintaining the same standard of living at the same cost as earlier inhabitants.

And I'm not sure we'd want it to anyways? When prices get too high for later folks to move, then that's a great signal to actually go elsewhere.

I'm not sure why we'd want a system where everyone just migrated to one or two cities in the entire US. I've seen those cities in Asia that have populations of 15M or 20M and yeah, seems super inefficient once you get to a certain size.
An aside, but one of my more fun small pranks involved two fortune cookies in the office circa 2007.

I extracted the real fortunes, and inserted two of my own. When a friend dropped by, I handed him one and took the other.

His fortune read "You are an asshat".

Which surprised him somewhat, differing as it did from the usual fare.

What blew him away was when I cracked my cookie and withdrew my fortune: "Your friend is an asshat".
Grandstanding is commonplace in crypto. If you don't talk big and everyone else does, you sound like you lack confidence.

DoH (ietf rfc 8484) recommends http/2 as a minimum, http/3 is a valid DoH transport.

What kind of efficiency are you referencing? This is not a clear cut issue.

> UDP-based QUIC (aka http/3)

The linked rfc uses only the quic transport, not http/3.
You can definitely have the college experience going to cc. unless we have different definitions of it. i had no shortage of parties, drugs, bars, awkward socialness, growing as a person and ability to try new things.
I thought this was a great article, but one thing that I think was missing was an analysis of how rural vs. urban/suburban desirability has greatly changed housing demand.

In the past 20-30 years, there has been a huge concentration of wealth in major metros, and many rural areas have been "hollowed out", with most young people looking to "get out" if they can. Some of this is anecdotal, but is also supported by various data sets. Even during the pandemic, where many folks left the cities and went to other areas, it was still that a lot of "tier 2" metros (think Boise, Charlotte, etc.) that took the influx.

So my concern is that even if there are the same number of houses in the US nationwide, many of those houses have become completely undesirable as people move to areas with opportunity. Just think of all the boarded up $1 houses in Detroit, for example.

Just think it would be interesting to see how much "low valued" housing there is (i.e. housing that has lost value or been stagnant) to calculate how much concentration of housing demand has been going on.
Duh? The only people paying their fair share get automatic deductions from their paychecks. Everyone does their absolute best to pay as little as possible otherwise, especially crypto-libertarians who probably don't believe in taxation anyway.

BTC, ETH and XMR are pretty comfy. A lot of scams are going to get purged, and that’s a good thing. Good projects will survive as they always do.
This is why I couldn't get into a game like Stellaris.

Way too many mechanics that seem complex on the surface, but as far as game impact are actually irrelevant, so it feels like busywork. As opposed to MOO, where 1 slider early game can change the outcome of the entire game.

There are lots of good locations. Some people are just too picky. There's nothing wrong with living in Nashville or Cleveland. It's stupid to keep cramming more and more people into a few coastal cities.

While some might disagree, many historians associate Petrarch’s rediscovery of Cicero’s letters as the start of the renaissance and the end of the Middle Ages.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrarch

I’d recommend anyone study Cicero as he was a sole source for many of the “best practices” stolen from antiquity; his writings are the basis for the US government (for example)

It doesn't, and it's pretty clear you're grossly misunderstanding me.
Shoot me an email (in my profile) if you’d like the key. The Dev company is defunct (otherwise we’d surely all still be playing Stars! Supernova), so I don’t think they’ll mind. Fun trick I stumbled on w/ the shareware version: you can take your shareware version save files (capped at lvl 10 tech) and open them in the ‘full’ game, and go right on researching.
The Society for Creative Anachronism is one option, but you'd have to find someone willing to teach youngsters about heavy weapons combat.

There are other heavy weapons martial artist organizations out there. Jill Bearup (on YouTube) is a stage combat person, but she's also had contact with people who do martial arts in the space.

Of course, if you want to learn Japanese style sword combat, go down to your local Kendo Dojo.

> Gerrymandering is a separate issue

SCOTUS was asked to lay out a standard for courts to follow in deciding gerrymandering cases. A court can't know a priori whether a partisan skew in a particular map was deliberate or the result of geographic factors. So you can’t just treat it as a “separate issue.” Among other things, even if there’s evidence of intent, there might not be causation. You can intend to do lots of things that you don’t actually end up accomplishing.

You can kick the problem to a "neutral commission"--but that's giving tremendous power to unelected people. If "commissions of neutral experts" were a real thing that exists we could just dispense with democracy and rely on them! The Constitution is all about asking "who has the power?" but on issues like this people overlook that and get mired in "who would come up with the best answers under unrealistic assumptions about bias?"

Put differently, having legislatures draw districts might make it harder to "vote the bums out." But gerrymanders are actually pretty fragile. Democrats had massive geographic and gerrymandering advantages throughout the 1970s and 1980s: https://crystalball.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/conten.... But Republicans still managed to break through that in 1994, and since then it's flipped back and forth quite a bit. With a "neutral commission," by contrast, you've created a body with a lot of power that can't be voted out.

Also, what target are the experts shooting at anyway? That’s difficult to tell for the same reason it’s hard for the court to tell. Are the experts supposed to be leveling natural partisan skew due to geographic factors?
I think you are mixing 2 different concepts:
1. type of taxes
2. public services
While public services you listed are not immoral, the way how the taxes collected to pay for these services can be immoral.
Not to mention applications can and do (could and did?) put things pretty much anywhere they liked and there’s never a way to really know for sure. I’ve had to hunt down dozens of directories for programs that just did not give a fuck about being easy to uninstall.
It looks similar, but Unleash has a lot of really awesome features that let you configure rules for when flags are enabled/disabled. Stuff like turning them on for specific domains or customer or any other metadata you can feed into it.
They’ve massively streamlined modern Civ games. Micromanagement is nearly gone now.
The ulterior motive is gaining total control over citizens in EU member states. Which is also why the EU digital ID [0] will soon be introduced and a Euro CBDC will follow in the coming years. It's quite likely the Euro CBDC wallet will be linked (part of) the EU digital ID.

I expect at some point the EU digital ID will be required to use when accessing the internet or perhaps when signing up for email, creating a Twitter account and such. This EU digital ID will

EU member states will become a carbon copy of China. People will worry what they can say out of fear that they will not be able to spend their hard-earned Euro CBDC.

They've tried several times, see Unladen Swallow, but usually the projects are way more ambitious and also trying to introduce JIT.
The Intercept is one of the last news outlets that does actual investigative journalism, and the podcast opens discussing how one of the people on it found out they were a finalist for a Pulitzer.

The tribalism around brand loyalty infesting even people's heuristics around commenting on news they don't even bother reading is something else.

Startup idea for anyone out there: a news commenting site like Reddit or HN with a built in browser that doesn't let you comment until you've spent at least half the expected amount of time to read the article with the article open.

I'd happily give that site my attention, ad dollars, and data instead.
From my understanding, it used CPU acceleration instead
> The only google products I still use are search, gmail and google maps. That's it. The same as in 2005.

Its even worse than that for me in that not only am I not using any new products Google is producing, but they killed off a number of the ones I did use (some which they produced, some which they acquired and killed).

So not only are they not producing products I care about to begin with, even if they managed to change this I'd be super hesitant to adopt the product because of the reasonable expectation they will kill it off after I start to depend on it.
Note that I said “equivalent food”. And I also only spoke of energy, not other forms of damage to the environment.
Words also lose notability and are removed from the dictionary all the time. Literally the inverse argument for adding "asshat".

Even if it is beneficial, the user might still want to disable it. (Possibly a option in the browser for manual/auto calculate; if manual, then events are disabled until you push submit or recalculate. This might improve speed, too. Another thing that might be useful may be ARIA mode (which can also have other advantages, although other things are needed too anyways).)

Saving a partially filled form is something that should be a feature in the browser, you can do "File > Save Form Data" (and then specify the file name) and "File > Recall Form Data".

I generally disable JavaScripts. Sometimes the web page will still be displayed if CSS is also disabled (and sometimes I want to disable CSS anyways), and sometimes links to original data, etc can be found if you view the source.
I believe that sortition is a solution to this. Being a politician should be like jury duty, there's a low but significant probability that you can lose the lottery and have to be a representative for a couple of years. The same mechanism should be uses to select peace officers also. There are certain roles that society appears to need, but that the kind of people who want to fill those roles are likely to be the worst people to do the job (i.e. anyone with a hint of megalomania). Sortition solves this problem.

> UC Berkeley, Standford, CalTech

I sincerely doubt this for Stanford and CalTech. The only college of ~equivalent prestige to Stanford that takes a non trivial number of transfer students is Columbia and CalTech doesn’t have classes that teach material equivalent to CC courses. It’s assumed you know it already or will pick it up in an hour or two if you need it.

UC colleges are completely different because they’re forced to have a clear path for transfer students.
"Sophisticated markup language with embedded JavaScript" is a fine model of Nota. You can also think about it as another syntax for a React program, like an alternative to JSX that's oriented at writing documents (prose-first) rather than writing websites (code-first).

The complexity of Javascript and React gives you two main benefits:

1. You can use Javascript as a metalanguage to manipulate the document, e.g. to make and reference variables, perform computations, and so on.

2. You can use React to provide semantic structure and interactivity to your document, e.g. to mark definitions of vocabulary and link references back to the definition.

Nota consists of a syntax, a compiler that goes from Nota document to React program, and a set of React components that are commonly used in Nota documents. You could integrate it into a website or CMS, but it is not inherently any kind of information management system.
I think most people are against taxes. Let's get rid of them already.
U.S. East Coast Diesel Supply Is Running on Fumes
Reminds me of a conversation with a counselor when I attended a California Community College. I was expressing how nervous I was to transfer to UC, that I was just some dumb kid from Modesto Junior College. UC had some of the smartest kids around; there's no way I was gonna be able to keep up. He said, "Yeah, there's a lot of really smart kids at UC. But mostly you're gonna find a lot of rich kids. You'll do fine." He was absolutely correct.
> What "situation" -- the one where you constantly doubt the story of someone you have never met, based on their "evidence of attitude" which is really just your opinion?

Of course.

I think there are a few simple reasons:

1. Regulations which tried to completely change how the industry was already operating. The black market worked, decriminalization worked, and rules came in which made some things more punishable, like discreet public use and growing a plant or two.

2. Over-saturation... There are more dispensaries than Starbucks. On top of that, the black market price has come way down. Some of my old dealers* have quarters for $25, sometimes less.

I think it's mainly those two points, but also:

3. The stores are in prominent locations but look like sketchy sex shops. They're dingy and deserted looking on the outside and never see light or the hustle and bustle of the outside world on the inside.

Another approach is to incorporate that neighborhood as its own independent city. I think we should think about these issues creatively, while sticking with the idea whatever the goal, we should approach it directly, rather than achieving the effect accidentally, as a side effect of some other design decision.
I think Google innovates plenty!

You might only use Maps, Gmail, and Search, but you've probably also:

- Used a ton of services hosted in Google Cloud (which Google built outright),

- interacted with data that was filtered through BigQuery or Cloud Spanner (which Google built)

- Edited something in Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms (all acquisitions, I think)

- Viewed a photo on Google Photos,

- Used Chrome,

- etc.

And that's before all of the stuff Google has produced that's open-source (Golang, Kubernetes, Flutter/Dart, V8, etc), or their AI stuff (DeepMind, AlphaGo, Brain), or their autonomous driving stuff (Waymo, which is probably a patent factory on its own accord)

Also, let's not discount that Maps has gotten a LOT of innovations over time. Is there another mapping service that can give you historical street view of almost any road in the US within seconds?

I worked there in 2015 and also disliked my experience, but Google definitely definitely moves the needle on stuff.
I don't follow your logic. "This isn't crazy for one of the highest-earning majors" is true, but what does it have to do with the average college student's expectations? Agreed that the headline stat is very broad, but the number is eye-poppingly wrong enough that there's plenty of signal. The majority of students _aren't_ in CS, and the article mentions that the overestimate holds across most majors:

> High salary expectations are common among students of all majors, but those studying journalism, psychology, and liberal arts are the most likely to overestimate the value of their degrees. Journalism students, in particular, are the most delusional, expecting $107,040 just a year after they graduate — 139% more than the median journalist’s starting salary.

> Meanwhile, computer science majors have the most realistic expectations, overestimating their starting salary by only 27%.
> TBH I'm surprised the various Aviation Authorities have not mandated some sort of TLDR emergency/safety guide for small planes and their passengers, unless of course they dont really care if one drops out of the sky killing everyone!?!

Having an untrained passenger is no worse than flying solo. The latter is clearly allowed, and should probably stay allowed?
Wow this is serendipitous. I was just wanting a solution to this issue yesterday (developing an app and its dependencies simultaneously without publishing to npm constantly).

I didn't know about `npm link`. Can you elaborate on the issues you've had with it? Because honestly it sounds better to me. When I modify a dependency I don't want to have to "publish" that modification before my app sees it. Am I right in thinking that with `npm link` there is no publish step?
