There is plenty of news that is relevant and important. It's just that people simply don't care. How many people here know the name of their state representatives or city councillors, let alone what they vote for? I certainly don't.
That brings in the assumption that there will be a perfectly heterogeneous and broad range of viewpoints and not perhaps just a handful of viewpoints that serve to enrich a few people. Looking at the world today we really don't have that broad of viewpoints despite all of our connectivity. Comment sections play out identically when a given topic comes up on different forums. You can predict what the positions will be without even opening the thread, and if you offer an opinion that runs counter expect to be snuffed out by the majority opinions that have real marketing dollars fueling them.
This is wildly off the mark.
This makes me feel better about my $10 shares now being worth $4. Although I would never have joined this company in the first place if I knew they were going to IPO via SPAC last October.

you forgot the "Also". Not having it is like calling Nietzsche's novel "Spoke Zarathustra".
Yeah, honestly I think the bigger negative impact on startups is the incredible profitability of these targeted advertising monopolies that has pushed market salaries so high that upper quartile programmers with 3-10 years experience inherently see their value as being $500k-$1M in total comp without any real notion of what kind of business structures can generate the kind of cash flow to justify those salaries beyond just burning VC capital in an oversaturated bull market.

Even though I personally have benefitted from the upward pressure to software engineering comp, as consumers I believe we would have a way better ecosystem of tech products if engineers salaries weren't tied to VC economics.
Sounds cool, except: look at CNN's frontpage right now.
That seems a little disingenuous to just throw all cops under the bus and say they all do that bad behavior. One anecdotal case and law and order episodes probably shouldn't be enough to come to that conclusion.
the 11 in 1 screwdriver is so useful all around. hands down the best screwdriver to have if you only have one. (i got a full set of kleins many years ago as part of a barter exchange and have nothing but praise to give them)

the socket portion of the 11-in-1 screwdriver is really handy to use for a lot of the things like pc cases since those have a socket head that makes it really easy to screw (or also Phillips if you want). lots of screws have that 1/4" socket.

> A basket of indicators all seem to document a trend similar to what we see with technology. Even as the number of scientists and publications rises substantially, we do not appear to be seeing a concomitant rise in new discoveries that supplant older ones. Science is getting harder.

Nothing worth doing is easy. We have cleared the low hanging fruit and can now do the actual work. This is so exciting :)

(also I wonder sometimes if as a society we are teaching people less to be critical thinkers, who are not afraid to disagree with the mainstream)

Interesting, hadn't heard of those.

But that $17.5M seems to be mostly pump stations and running the pipe along a road. I was thinking more of getting from that pipe into all the existing buildings and houses, and to the various places it is used (I assume primarily toilets).

The fundamental challenge for all news channels:

The natural, normal, expected behavior is to have big spikes of viewership when something major happens. Then a radically lower level of ongoing viewership, because well-adjusted productive people just check the news briefly every day.

This is not compelling at all from a business point of view, hence the relentless search for any and always to drive constant viewership.

I vouched for this comment when it was flagged. I assume it’s flagged because of the last couple sentences? but I don’t find them all that inflammatory and frankly, it seems kinda accurate to me.

Whether or not the assertion is correct overall? Dunno. I don’t find CNN “progressive” but I suspect the term is being used to refer to more sensational, polarized content, not actually very progressive content.

Incarceration is mostly for violence and theft. Lots of stolen cars, lots of assaults. Quite a lot of murders.

I didn't know anyone who was there for just drugs, except a few who were dealing hard drugs. (And who were coincidentally also violent thieves)

If you want to understand the jail population, watch the show "lockup raw". It would give you a better picture of who is being discussed.

Though it defies logic, there are a lot of people like yourself who seem to think that prisons are filled with a bunch of victims, who are just there for drug offenses. It's not true by a long shot.

So now they just generate provocative content as cheaply as possible to attract eyeballs for advertisers.

Equality is not "a fundamental principle", this is a modern conception of how society should be run while fundamental principles are absolute and eternal.

Even going back to only 100 years ago the idea that "we are all equal" would have sounded ridiculous. As an example, we could take the accounts about the role of schools in various educational systems in Europe: it was widespread belief that the function of such institutions was to select the ἄριστοι - àristoi, from which it derives aristocracy - the best among the best. School was intentionally set up as an exclusionary institution, opposed to our "inclusive" endeavor: it was considered obvious, a "fundamental principle" even, that some people were better, in some sense or in another, than others.

I've experienced this firsthand, and can corroborate Kenji's recommendation against using flaxseed oil.

I drank the flaxseed Kool-aid (courtesy of this article) when I first started purchasing cast iron ~6 years ago. The flaxseed seasoning is incredibly hard, which is great, until its brittleness causes it to flake off. I was constantly losing bits of seasoning nearly every time I used a pan. (my working theory is that thermal expansion/contraction causes parts of the polymerized coating to lose bond with the steel over time).

I finally got sick of dealing with it, going at all my pans with an angle grinder and flap disk to remove the old seasoning and started over using bog standard vegetable oil. I've not had a flaking problem since. I do need to re-season more frequently, but that is easy and quick to do.
"Far left" in America is "center right" in a sane country.

Card-carrying communists sit in the parliaments of some Western democracies. Yet they somehow still get on as democracies, without many of the problems that plague the USA like wars of resource appropriation, rampant racism, and school shootings.
Crypto Zombies is excellent and I highly recommend it, but keep in mind that it was built using an older version of Solidity and if you try to do some things the same way in newer versions of Solidity your code will break.

Like I think one thing it has in there, for example, is when you push an item onto an array it returns that item, so they have you initialize a variable to that push. The very next version of Solidity changed push so it's a void return, so you can't do that outside of the Crypto Zombies tutorials.

Most of the changes are small enough to not be a big deal, just keep in mind that some things you're being taught are probably not the way things are done now.

Best practices have changed a lot since Crypto Zombies too, especially if you want to support new ideas like Omnichain or save gas using contracts like ERC-721A.
The funny thing is, developers will always have a more precise and detailed domain knowledge. Because unlike the PM, who can analyze the problem in the abstract and approximate, the developer must produce working code.

However it is very difficult to have empathy with the user when you're trying to produce code. Also, you're generally judged on your ability to 'finish US' quickly. So generally you'll choose an approach 'that works'. Only to have the feedback 'great, but why did you not think about this?'
But it's coupled with the problem that you either consume all the news as the media wants you to, or you cut yourself off almost completely. It's hard to find any news sources that only bring you relevant news, instead of attempting to flood you 24/7 with literally anything that's happening.

The closest I've come is to ignore standard news media and be informed via things that filter in through friends, co-workers, and non-standard news sites like HN. I'd love to be better informed of what's going on, but I refuse to subject myself to the firehose.

CNN is not to the left of progressive Democrats.

It's not even to the left of the neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party.

Nobody defines how employer-employee relations should be in the 21st century but the employers. They run their business as they please. Employees decide if they want to work for them, or walk away.

Also. I do have experience with very adult people who fake productivity working remotely. Some even brag about 'working' remotely for several companies at once, effectively frauding their wage from each.

Now that the mask mandate has finally gone away, taking cross country trip on Amtrak is something that is on our 2022 plans. Surprisingly, most of the trains we've looked at have been at capacity or near it. Not sure if they're running shorter trains or if Amtrak has grown in popularity. Hopefully we'll be able to do it this year!

This title suggests Svelte is the component library, which confused me, because I knew Svelte as a front-end framework.

The component library is called Svelvet, and it's (presumably) made for Svelte.
"Opinion pieces are strewn throughout regular news links"

This is one of my biggest pet peeves too.

I still only really enjoy reading the FT consistently overall, and The Hill for political news reporting (their op-ed section is 76978726435278 trash fires converging, but their actual journalism stays solid) and a handful of others sparingly, but every major cable news outlet (and certainly all the overtly partisan outlets like Breitbart and Palmer Report) I simply have avoided for years due to its insufferability.
My biggest pet peeve! I have a feeling that in the past, man pages used to be much more detailed when it comes to actual examples.
why has it taken this long for someone to come up with a 2D analog to the 3D Rubik's Cube? :O
Yeah, but giving them metrics won't fix that. Even forcing them to cite the metrics in their decisions won't force a culture change. And even if you could somehow convince/force them to earnestly intend to be data-driven, they'd probably still fail.

In ostensibly data-driven workplaces, the decision makers pick and choose which metrics to consider, influence how those metrics are measured, determine which exceptions and extenuating circumstances to consider, etc. The end result is often just as subjective as what you started with, except now the decision makers can conveniently pretend that the result comes from an objective process rather than their personal whims. It becomes a method for disclaiming responsibility.
Consider removing as many extra tools as possible to make monorepos actually work.

Side note about SD Cards: I recently started writing embedded code to talk to them, and they are a fussy bunch. Several libraries I found on GitHub failed ungracefully and did not report that the card write buffer was overflowing. I wonder if some of this git code is in consumer electronics? Devices should warn you if the card isn't fast enough.
My experience was very similar: I built an application using a GraphQL schema file that powered AppSync templated VTL/DynamoDB tables, as well as automatically generating GraphQL operations/types. When I cleaned up the application's template for reuse, I erroneously decided to try out Yarn 3/Lerna/PnP, and then lost an embarrassingly long time to make it work.

Each [1] tool [2] seemed [3] to break differently, and needed some form of manual massaging to make it work. That manual massaging meant learning a new configuration file syntax, multiple times.

When it worked, it felt magical. Weaving together an entire web app, powered by a small bit of GraphQL schema [4] means building at a high level of abstraction (hence can be very productive). The only issue is the muddy forest of the NPM ecosystem you're surrounded by: any step towards upgrading your external dependencies seems to cost far more time than promised.

[1] Yarn3/PnP seems to assume all packages define their dependencies correctly. Unfortunately, this isn't true in the real world. I spent hours massaging dependencies in https://github.com/ThomasRooney/reamplify/blob/master/.yarnr...

[2] Getting TypeScript to work cleanly both in an IDE (IntelliJ) and when imported across backend/frontend packages was really cumbersome: I ended up just emitting .gitignored JS files next to their associated TS.

[3] Whispering into the IDE to make it understand GraphQL required learning the .graphqlconfig syntax, and fine-tuning it.

It's been a stretch for me to consider any Cable News as "News" for a while.
Interestingly there's what I perceive as a large percentage of people that would argue that NPR is overall very unbiased.

One thought experiment I would propose for those people is that if you find yourself overwhelmingly agreeing with nearly everything that a source presents, that itself is proof of extreme bias in that source.

An impartial, unbiased, source would present you with different, and often conflicting opinions. It would give a -good faith- attempt to present both/all sides of an issue. It would cover the grey areas of issues and not just make every issue binary, black and white. You would find yourself agreeing with some content and disagreeing with other content. Every story shouldn't be you just nodding along in agreement as they bash your political/societal 'opponents'.
What if the writer frees the memory entirely? Can you segv the reader? That would be quite a dangerous pattern.
I am talking about old papers that might not be widely known (i.e., have few citations) but present some useful results that I can use in my research.

In my field, the latest papers are a bit "click-baity". They have interesting titles with many trending words but when you read them it is hard to find either a coherent vision or a single result that one can build on top of.

Of course, I am generalizing. There is great research being done today and low-quality papers in the past. But it is completely true that the need to publish has distorted the goal of research communication.
Who's saying it's not seen as a negative? This is just whataboutism and it doesn't even make sense. We are talking about CNN

By the way, most opinion/commentator shows aren't expected to report facts. They are by design an opinion piece, where conjecture and "analysis" (as bad as it can be) are normal. It's just not the "own" you think it is, especially since it's a standard defense against claims of defamation.

Of all the things to criticize and dislike Fox News or Tucker Carlson for, this one just isn't it. I don't get why this "gotcha" in particular is so often used when there is no shortage of actually valid arguments against Fox News.
This is a ridiculous distinction. Both examples are highly idiomatic language, with no fixed definition that's even remotely close to what you claim. The original statement was perfectly understandable, and it's obnoxious behavior for you to try to pass your preference off as a "correction".
So it has been finally admitted.

No wonder many people didn't realise that they just got fooled and manipulated back in 2016 and on wards.

Perhaps that's why CNN needed so many clicks at the time and this is why they lived up to being the tag-line that they have always hated as being 'fake news' media.

So it really unsurprising.
I'm not sure about that. An acquisition is a risky thing for a company to do as well. It's never a sure thing and correctly pricing the acquisition or predicting if the company will be successful with the acquisition is also not guaranteed or easy.
The fact that its been a top story for weeks is exactly the problem with modern news. There are big serious problems both locally and in the world, then there are these gladiator performances they put on for us to watch instead.
