That’s about as fair as a characterisation of that debate as saying “people want to keep R vs. W because they love killing babies”. The simple difference between the sides is one thinks whatever it is that’s in the womb is a human life, the other does not. Both sides’ believe their positions are essentially rooted in compassion — one for the adult, one for (according to their understanding) the child.

As a peer comment has noted, the sci-fi scene isn’t healthier, the woke-guard just succeeded in silencing all dissenting voices.

A few years ago — when I was totally unaware of the ideological take-over of sci-fi — I set a goal to read all Hugo award winners over the lifetime of the award, in chronological order of the awards. Many early books were out of print, and I ordered and read used physical copies.

I abandoned the effort when I hit the modern era of woke sci-fi culture.

The books were just bad. It was then I actually looked up what had happened in sci-fi culture — these books were being promoted because they promoted Right Thinking and were written by the people of the right race/gender/thought - not because they were good books.

These days I use popular sci-fi awards as an anti-recommendation; a popular mainstream award (e.g. a Hugo) is strong indicator of a poorly written book.
401k, HSA, 529s for state taxes. You can give children gifts up to $28k, which is taxed at the kids rate. There are games you can play with home equity loans.

If you own a business there is a thousand ways to do it. One thing I’ve seen is people’s businesses “donate” to private schools and then get “merit” scholarships for their kids. You can accelerate depreciation of up to $500k of assets, etc.

If you’re smart, you’ll sometimes pay less tax in high tax states. Usually the low tax states have higher property and sales tax rates.

Set the top marginal prices high and use all that money the rich people with mansions are paying to build up a bunch of infrastructure to go get more water.

Today's major consumers, on the other hand, don't present a way to capture the revenue like that, while still using the water in ways that are still nonproductive from a "why do we have to do this here" standpoint.

Another thing to consider is that whenever a format works in "all" browsers (for some small values of "all" that devs care to test in), it becomes a de-facto part of the Web platform, and browsers end up having to support it forever.

This makes browser vendors very cautious about adding anything, because even if it's easy now, it's may haunt them later. Maybe they could use HW accell on current-gen GPUs, but what if the next-gen GPUs move to a newer codec and drop H.265? Browsers will still be expected to play existing web content encoded in the old codec, but now with a patent liability and no hardware to subsidize it.
In a world where there was no rentals there would probably be new things we can't imagine such as community ownerships. The specific thing that shouldn't exist - in parent commentors and myself is that the renter is paying money so that the actual owner pays off the property for their benefit, not the renter.

If some kind of community property system exists (not for ALL properties but a large number of them) then any rent you pay in say New York is also paying down a virtual mortgage you have the the "community" that spans the country. Like a virtual HOA.

One of the initial interview questions we used to ask at a previous job was to flowchart making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

It was later edited, but I think the bit where the thread diverges from your summary is

> - Companies will continue to offer the health plan they currently offer

I think the GP (GGP?) reading was that the current health plans would have to change; they can't duplicate the state mandatory coverage. (But they can build on top of it).

So theoretically a $1k/mo plan paid by the employer might turn into a $400/mo plan for extra coverage, and the baseline would cost $600/mo and that part would be taken over by the state. Best-case they can streamline that portion and decrease the cost through economy of scale; worst-case you have 2x the operating costs for two different insurance plans and the quality goes down because of the duplication and billing uncertainty for providers. (I'd hope that the bit covered by the state would be good enough for many people to have as their only coverage though).
At least some of the emails were real (but not particularly interesting or scandalous). You can read about them here https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-...

> Thousands of emails purportedly from the laptop computer of Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, are authentic communications that can be verified through cryptographic signatures from Google and other technology companies, say two security experts who examined the data at the request of The Washington Post. ¶ The vast majority of the data — and most of the nearly 129,000 emails it contained — could not be verified by either of the two security experts who reviewed the data for The Post. Neither found clear evidence of tampering in their examinations, but some of the records that might have helped verify contents were not available for analysis, they said.[...] ¶ Among the reasons for the inconclusive findings was sloppy handling of the data, which damaged some records. The experts found the data had been repeatedly accessed and copied by people other than Hunter Biden over nearly three years.

How those emails (and other materials) were originally obtained and how they made their way onto the hard drive in question is impossible to determine.

Because there isn’t really much story or scandal in the emails themselves (similar to the Blumenthal and Podesta hacked email leaks from 2016), the whole “conspiracy coverup” angle has been played up endlessly by breathless propagandists.

But even if you take a leap and assume that the laptop story is true precisely as claimed, the better explanation for the media reaction is: serious media outlets who were repeatedly burned by credulously reprinting Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon’s (later proven false) claims wised up and decided to be a bit more careful this time.
There's guaranteed to be risks and downsides but the status quo is utterly unconscionable so I will take absolutely any step in the right direction.

Yes, this sucks right now. Resizable disks is on our list, we just need somebody to spend a few days on it. Luckily we're hiring platform engineers [1] to work on fun problems like that.

We actually had a bug that skipped charging a bunch of accounts. :) Regardless, we're not overly concerned about making $1/mo from small accounts. Large customers more than make up for it. Turns out building something devs _choose_ to use on their free time often leads to using it at work too.

You could be right but in my specific use case the bank I moved to will quite intentionally remain small. It serves a specific small community and has no intention to grow outside of this community. If that changes some day I will move again. Moving banks is simple. This community will not comply with digital currency laws and we would make our own mesh networks. The hardware and fiber is already in place to do so.

On my PC I get .329x of realtime playback speed with AV1, and 4.85x with libx264. So AV1 encoding is 15 times slower than H.264 encoding !

I used ffmpeg "-cpu-used 8" for AV1 (higher than this and I get "Error setting option cpu-used to value X"). I removed the -cpu-used command for H.264 as the encoder defaults to autodetecting the number of threads to max out CPU usage. My CPU is an 8-core 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G. My source material was the first 20 seconds of the H.264 blu-ray rip of Titanic. top(1) shows the AV1 encoder uses around 500% CPU (meaning only 5 of the 16 hardware threads are utilized) while the H.264 encoder uses around 1600% (exactly 16 of 16 threads utilized). So there is a lot of potential parallelization optimization that could be exploited. But even assuming perfect scaling from 5 to 16 threads, the AV1 encoder would get to 1.1x of realtime playback speed. It would still be about 5 times slower than the H.264 encoder.
Interviewing is basically just you selling yourself to the company, so it checks out
No, not even remotely what I'm saying. People of all cultures are free to work/play wherever they want; but the onus is on them to partly or fully assimilate. Especially if they're joining a functioning team.

The issue is this moral imperative to force team cultures to bend over backward at the whims of the new member. It is entitled and hypocritical, because the "straight white male" teams/groups/corporations are subject to encroachment while all other groups are allowed exclusive safe spaces where they are allowed to fully dictate cultural norms.

This social trajectory is not sustainable, and is overtly, explicitly systemically racist/sexist.
I'm subscribed to /r/wallstreetbets for the comedy, and the peak activity was definitely when people were throwing in money at the $250-$300 level trying to will it to $420.
Clojure was explicitly designed to make reasoning about concurrency simpler (most data is immutable and can be referenced in multiple routines without concern; mutable reference types use the same data semantics, wrapped in transactions) with minimal performance impact (immutable data types are implemented as persistent data structures, sharing memory rather than naive strategies like copy-on-write). I don’t know that it’ll necessarily benefit more from Loom than other JVM languages, so much as it’s well positioned to benefit from concurrency improvements generally because its underlying design encourages code well suited for taking advantage of concurrency generally.

Edit to add: I hadn’t initially thought to speculate on the language itself taking advantage, but it occurred to me immediately after posting this comment. Another potential benefit is that many of its fundamental abstractions (most collection APIs are declarative) lend really well to making those operations concurrent, which is a common FP/lisp hypothetical but becomes more tangible if coroutines are less expensive. This isn’t dissimilar to how RDBMS query planners can provide wild performance improvements without any semantic changes, because SQL queries express “what” now “how”.
Only if you are looking at it on a very short timespan. Those of us that have been VTSAX and chill for the past decade+ are still up plenty. Markets go up, markets go down too. That is why retail investors should buy broad based, low fee, index funds and not try to beat the market.

There were certainly some serious winners over the past few years, but only if you got out and my guess is that most of those folks in meme stocks can't give up the ghost and over estimate their abilities.
But is the psychovisual output any good or do they only target, say, speed? Because back in the days, both Videolan projects x264 and x265 (especially x264) had much better psychovisual quality than commercial encoders.

Back in those days, x264 felt to me like a software written by aliens from the future.
Was that a new episode/season of that show? Huge fan

I actually met the guy many years ago a few times before he was ever famous. First time he was SO OBNOXIOUS, like we had to be mean as possible and kick him out because he just wouldn't listen to us trying to tell him to shut the hell up with name-dropping Seth Rogen and some early hiphop comedy act he used to do on this website loadingreadyrun when we were trying to watch a movie... Second time he was a security guard at a parking lot next to a rave and we smoked a blunt with him

Sometimes I wonder if he remembers any of that
I think his point was that billionaires shouldn’t exist but I think the conclusion is somewhat unclear, do we move toward a system where it is much harder to amass that much wealth or do we chop their heads off and take it all? I think it’s left open
It's tedious to write from scratch until it's complete. In my experience, it's more tedious to maintain a parser generator than a recursive descent parser. The reason is, if you write a recursive descent parser the right way, it's gonna be so simple even a freshman can maintain it at the end of the day.

After having written parser dozens of times nowadays I don't bother with anything other than recursive descent. In practice, I don't think anything works better.

I used vi/vim for 25 years before switching to Emacs and have been using Emacs now for about a decade... with both editors there was always more to learn for me, despite being a veteran user.

There's no way you're going to appreciate the power of either editor after using it only a few times.
Why does MIRI looks so much better?
I agree that setting up Emacs from scratch could be a long journey, but there are prebuilt emacs configs like Spacemacs which are even more capable than VSCode out of the box.

If you can sell a product at $5 by doing it in an unsustainable way but can't afford to go below $10 if you do it in a sustainable way, is it reasonable to expect each individual consumer to fully vet claims of sustainability and make the right long-term decision?

This is what you're pushing for, and what we have, and it's a terrible world to live in since it lets you the producer who is knowingly doing damage to avoid taking any responsibility and just push it all to "consumers."

And there's even templating engines like Pug that really simplify the markup, to make it even easier. Not everything needs to ve intantly visualizable, writing the stuff, processing it ana checking once in a while how it's growing is much more than enough, unless you happen to write it very very rarely.

Maybe TFA is asking for a solution to that problem, and as other commenters said, there are tools (that didn't really pan out) that take care of that niche.
Not to sounds hyperbolic, but we're moving farther and farther towards partitioning the country than we are towards M4A. The SC has just crossed the biggest line between liberals and conservatives for the last 50 years and signalled they're not done. The composition of the Senate and electoral college could put us a good 30+ years from being able to restore those rights. Best case scenario is both sides of the aisle double down on states' rights so liberals can have free choice and socialized medicine while the others can wait for maternal mortality rates to force their hands in a generation or two.

Nice. Yeah maybe this will be a win. I’m overall more for it than against it. Just think there are some downsides. Glad to hear you have had a good time on the NY State insurance. Is it Medicaid?

I'm not sure of your logic.

There's no guarantee that builders will use the loosened restrictions to build the most efficient housing. In fact they will most likely build the most profitable housing instead.

The most profitable is on the high end - so marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, etc. All the builders will race to build as much of that as they can, as fast as they can. Then, when the market is glutted, they'll be unable to sell off their investments. Builders will end up with their capital all sunk in cheap land and expensive housing. no one can afford to buy. The builders can't sell the cheap land since they leveraged it to pay for developing the expensive housing. They can't sell the expensive housing because the market has temporarily dried up. The builders will just wait until the glut resolves and continue business as usual.

Meanwhile, there is not really that much more actual housing for the low end market. Some builders made a bunch of money and some craftsmen got extra work building houses they can never afford.

Capitalism at it's most typical.

I’m not trying to convince you to change editors —- it’s a highly personal choice —- but you might be interested in a couple thoughts from someone who’s used practically every editor under the sun but uses neovim by default:

- the main value of vi is editing speed. It’s just much more efficient to edit text this way. Have you ever realized you needed to make a bunch of changes to a file and then sort of groaned at how much legwork that will be? Maybe you even don’t bother because it doesn’t seem worth it? vi usually makes short work of these. It’s hard for me to overstate how big of a productivity impact this has had for me: it makes sure the mechanics are never the bottleneck in my coding process. The editor can keep up with me.

- the most common painpoint with vi is that you don’t get all these snazzy IDE features. That’s why sometimes people run IDEs with vi keybindings which are never quite exact; they want features like language-aware renames and other refactoring support that vi lacks, so they make a tradeoff. But this is actually improving rapidly, thanks to the proliferation of language servers and their rapidly improving support in Neovim. I hope that soon I will no longer have to think about these tradeoffs.

At any rate, everyone should write code in whatever tool they like most, but that’s been my experience with it.
It claims to be from the same generation but realistically it’s half a generation behind.
