In every single project or company I've ever worked on/with, monkey patching was _extremely_ frowned upon (for good reasons).
Also, how would you be able to filter without any copies? you'd at least be forced to make one. filter is _not_ supposed to mutate anything. so you'd have to create a new Array and/or NodeList, and put the filtered values back in.
Even then, doing all this stuff for what is effectively one single copy that is likely to be insignificant at a performance level is, in my opinion, excessive. I just copy once and make the code clearer.
You can't easily conclude "right" here, but you can very easily adjust the narrative to fit certain biases.

There's at least one study that tried to link loss of education with a greater long-term loss of life than the short-term losses avoided with closures... but there are a lot of holes and assumptions so it's far from reliable.

I feel like we're just spinning in circles trying to define "fast" and what speeds are "acceptable" when the main point was:

> SPAs for offline support and MPAs for everything else

You could build MPAs that offer offline support (and I have) but I find that you spend a lot of time writing the same render logic twice. Things might be different now with Next/Nuxt but when you're using PHP or C# it sucks to write the view render logic twice.
Even the speculation part, which admittedly is the vast majority of crypto activity, is not that easily dismissed.

The use case for speculation is making money. Making money is a pretty compelling use case. Most crypto traders are perfectly aware of the risks and play the game anyway.

I mean, the owners of this very site fund a thousand startups only to see 10 succeed. Pure speculation.
I guess it is just a taxi calling app, but I have to say that for me personally, Uber has become a very useful tool because I can just instantly get wherever I need to go whenever I travel to a new place I've never been before. I hardly ever use Uber in my home city, but when I travel I use it all the time.

That kind of stuff used to involve a bunch of planning, now I just open an app and I immediately get a decent estimation of time needed and price to get to my destination, all over the world. I don't find it so surprising that there is a bunch of complexity involved there.

Asahi Linux literally wasn't a thing when I wrote the article.

I fully expect my conclusions from over a year ago, when the M1 first was available and virtualization was rough around the edges, to "not remain accurate."
Agreed, for those who are technically inclined. One could argue its why facebook and twitter exist. Was too difficult or expensive to make your own / host your data.

I am not advocating for web3. I am saying its some middle ground at a new shot to not give all your data to someone who says this will host your data for 'free' vs an easy (to be seen) way for my stuff to be hosted with some type of payment from me in exchange for someone not abusing it. I know that is a tall orders, but from what I have seen that is the pitch for web3.

I also thought of u/Sir_Budington's comment when this article was posted to r/CredibleDefense:

> The thing is that things like anti tank and ship missiles are primarily defensive weapons, not offensive ones. Sure, a Javelin can wreck a tank, but it’s not going to break through a front line. Sure, a harpoon can sink a ship, but it’s not going to project power halfway across the world. A Patriot missile can shoot down a plane, but it’s not going to target moving targets 100 miles behind enemy lines, or provide CAS.

> Does this mean that in recent years that the power balance has swung in favour of defenders? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean you get rid of offensive capabilities.

Sure, now ask your mom how Web2 works. How does a phishing website work using web1 tech? I'd say anything under the hood for non tech people is close to magic. But that's not an issue, they don't need to know everything starting from how DNS routing works, but the article somehow suggests that they do.

The only fair point here is that it's indeed more complex.

Another revealing term for a phrase like 'anti-anti-antivax' is Orwell's double-plus-ungood. It's in line with a standard tactic in propaganda: Take a complex topic, reduce it to simple statement even a small child could understand, then repeat, repeat, repeat. Twitter is the ideal tool for this approach, with its character-limited format. No wonder that state/corporate PR outfits (aka 'the media') and politicians congregate there.

The article does have some good advice, though: Jacobs recommends extending our temporal bandwidth through a deliberate engagement with the past through our reading as well as a deliberate effort to bring the more distant future into our reckoning.

This is ideal for addressing the vaccination issue. The first question to ask of any self-styled 'vaccine expert' would be, "What are the 100 top vaccines that have been introduced in the past 100 years, and what are some examples of success and failure in these efforts"? (What I'd expect from Twitter is cherry-pickers finding the best and worst examples to push their own particular agenda, rather than an across-the-board debate).

Granted, answering that question in detail would take a whole book, although wikipedia has a decent introduction:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_vaccines

Some of the ancient religious views on illness seem to be playing a role here as well, i.e. illness is a divine punishment for human sin, so anyone effecting cures is clearly an agent of dark Satanic power, who should be burned at the stake etc. None of that excuses pharmaceutical manufacturers who run dirty production lines and end up contaminating their vaccines, however:

Years upon years ago I read about a trick to speedread by just flashing words in giant font at a set speed; your eyeballs don't need to move, and you can force-train yourself by speeding it up.

I wrote an Objective C Mac OS app (which I normally never do, so that was quite a bit of messing with completely unfamiliar tools such as Xcode) and the rarely used 'services' menu so that I could select any text and fire up this app.

It worked wonders for prose. It doesn't work for highly specific technical reading, or anything where the formatting itself is important, as that is, naturally, obliterated.

A mac or two later and I don't really want to build it again.

But, does anyone know of an app or site that does this for you? Possibly with some nice advances such as:

* Give you a little more time on complicated words.
* Possibly let you click a paragraph in e.g. a webpage and then just blast that paragraph past your eyes, letting you mix reading and looking at the layout. This sounds great for wikipedia, where there are images to look at, table data, paragraphs, etc.

If no such thing exists I might be tempted to write it as a browser extension.

Wait ... potatoes can run WP? Damn ... /sarc

I replaced WP long ago, first with hugo (bad decision), then that with ghost (better decision). Not because of traffic, but because of the sheer number of hacks against the code base of WP appearing as zero days, and the rather extreme upgrading pain (the zero-touch upgrades failed on me a number of times, and I had daily DB backups). I had caching turned up to 11, and that system could easily handle the load (at the peak I was getting a hit every few seconds).

Hugo is/was spectacularly terrible from the perspective of authoring rich content. I could do as well creating a directory tree and writing html by hand. Or markdown.

I guess as I get older, I'm less inclined to spend time on things that don't just work, and don't get in your way with (often bad) opinions on how you should work. WP felt like too great a risk to work with. It was getting expensive to buy plugins to secure the site, when it wasn't generating revenue to offset the costs. Hugo was simply painful to work with. Ghost seems about right. Though grafting in the commenting bits took a little bit of work, which violated my concern about just working.

There are no great blogging solutions. There are a bunch of options of various capability. WP needs caching/php-fpm to work at an acceptable level for reasonable traffic. Hugo (as static pages) wound up not needing much caching. Ghost doesn't need much caching either.

> but I like to read a summary in something like The Economist.

What makes you think anyone at the economist knows anything or would know anything about chinese economic policy. Even if they did, what makes you think they wouldn't spin it or mislead? The only thing the economist is good for is revealing the western elites' political opinions of china. If the economist says nice things about china, it means our elites want to exploit cheap chinese labor for their financial benefit. If the economist says bad things about china, it means our elites want better deal on exploiting cheap chinese labor.

> I agree that reading the NYT headlines every day is a waste of time though. Depends what he called "news".

The economist is a greater waste of time. At least the NYT is well written. Arguably the best written "news" out there. Though at the end of the day, it's ultimately a waste of time as well.

Reading the news is like the blind leading the deaf. But we have to waste our time somehow.

My very rusty Esperanto seems to still be able to get the gist of what you said (and I also understood the little I read of an article on your website).

My trouble is that whatever material I used to learn it (mainly Kurso de Esperanto and a course on lernu!) seemed to be completely detached from the way most people seem to actually write. Lots of suffixes I've never seen used in the learning material are abundantly used in the real world.

All of this to say, where do I go to learn a bit better?

> I still find it hard to comprehend how a one of the tools of a taxi calling app has this much complexity and have thousands of engineers working on it

You can really say this about almost anything once it's established. A startup can seemingly get really far with just a handful of people, but that startup is undoubtedly also dealing with only a handful of the use cases and edge cases. They also don't have legacy to maintain and upgrade. They also don't have all of the issues of scale.

Couple that with the fact that as outsiders we likely only see a tiny fraction of what the system ultimately needs to deal with.

I'd get this sort of feedback here whenever talking about Khan Academy's work, so I ended up blogging about it to give a sense of how much more there is than what people think about: https://www.kevindangoor.com/posts/why-khan-academy-has-so-m...
You can listen to any file in Audacity with Import > Raw Data, where it assigns each byte in the file one "point" in the audio waveform (depending on which format you select).

What is interesting to me is how it shines a light on the regulatory framework of the non-crypto economy. If you read up on edge cases, there is a lot of people deciding if something is "fair", and my notions of fair and a particular judges notions of fair are often at odds.

Changes with a good reason are fine, but I don't see a good reason to make the same flag a different letter.
The fantasy is storage: I have a small p.v. with lithium storage just as a protection against blackouts (AC coupled solar inverter to keep it on in case of no national grid frequency presence), in around a year battery capacity is already dropped to 99% and I do not allow more than 10% discharge since it's small, just enough for VMC + fridges/freezer + lights and computers, no main heating/cooling, cooking, washing machine etc from battery, except during sunny days eventually.

Synthetic fuels are not new, we have used them in WWII and probably earlier, they work but we simply can't produce enough of them in any sauce to power a generic usage. So no, so far the sole storage we have is classic mountain hydro witch is VERY good, only it demand waters and mounting, not that rare but definitively not everywhere.

Nuclear produce constant power witch is the perfect match for industry, that's the real main point, similarly low-enriched uranium (like French subs) is very usable on ships, we still miss the more important logistic mean: airplanes, but we can cover theoretically industry and rails and ships from nuclear witch is enough to add renewables locally just for resilience (not much sure if they are worth the investments, due to real energy price with a public nuclear but...). The anti-nuclear movement have a reason: it's not good for private profit and they (neoliberals) know that very well so they hate it.

> Males and females view the specifics of kissing differently. Males tend to prefer wet open-mouthed kisses while females are more conservative and enjoy less tongue use.

I find this part hilarious because it is at complete variance with my own experience. Despite being a man, I never start kissing a woman with open mouth and tongue because I had always figured it was a rookie error on par with "stampeding toward the clitoris"[0]. Instead, the women I've been with (all three of them, so a very limited sample size) were generally more aggressive. They'd kiss me open-mouthed and use their tongues.

What initially mystified me into thinking "I guess I have to use `dd` for block devices" was learning that `rsync` doesn't work with block devices.

I just tried to copy an ISO to a USB drive with `rsync`, and it didn't work.

Looking it up, I read these comments[0]:

"rsync operates on files which are on a filesystem. It doesn’t do comparisons between blocks. If you want to back up a block device to a file, use dd"

"I completely understood the use case. rsync (still) does not operate on block devices, so it’s not the solution here."

"Agreed, rsync has never operated on block devices."

So I thought, "Ah. There's File Data, which is what `rsync` deals with, and RAW BLOCK data, which is what scary hardcore tools like `dd` deal with."

Then the notion that `cp` and `cat` can deal with both species of data is confusing. :p

What, exactly, about this image seems "sexualized" to you?

This is a con badge from a Fairy Tales themed convention. The artist drew my fursona in the style of Little Red Riding Hood--a fairy tale deemed appropriate by most parents for young children.

There are no genitals depicted in this drawing. There's no secondary sex characteristics being emphasized.

No reasonable person would look at this cartoon image and think, "Oh, this is sexualized" UNLESS they had a pre-existing cognitive distortion to assume "furry = sexual". But that's a false equivalence.
