> Why do you think people "turn to fascism" in the first place??

Seems to me it is often a combination of dissatisfaction with some problems and a charismatic leader that promises an easy fix (if you only give him a lot of power and allow him to silence the opponents).

Sometimes the original problem isn't fixed at all and may even increase, sometimes it is replaced by more serious problems. But at the beginning it seems like things have improved, because the criticism has been silenced. Later, people who perceive the problems are afraid to speak up.

This may seem like an advice for democracies to avoid letting problems grow too large, otherwise you risk fascism. While solving problems is generally a good advice, it is not necessarily a question of letting a problem grow too large. Sometimes the problem can be relatively small, but the timing is unfortunate and it happens right before the election. It is also a question of whether you have a charismatic wannabe fascist leader who is well prepared at the right moment. Two or three smaller problems appearing at the right moment can bring a disaster that wouldn't happen if those problems appeared a few months apart.
Everything boils down to these two things: Laziness(masqueraded as "convenience") and Greed.

All the 6 points you listed above stem from these two factors.

People started becoming lazy and evolved the idea of mass production, which in turn forced the producers, due to greed, to instigate people for mass consumption.

We need to tweak globalisation a bit to improve the situation. Globalisation is good for many things, but not for every thing.

First, start with food and clothing. People should grow and consume as much local food as possible. The same goes for clothing. That way we won't have this problem of excesses and harm to the environment.

Next, reduce reliance on private transport. Use as much public transport as possible or walk if the distance is not that far. This will help reduce dependence on fossil fuel for which young blood is spilled on the battle grounds and shores afar.

If we do these two things, we will see a massive change for the better.
> I hate the Frech for that one, give us Grav back

Out of curiosity, what was so great about the grave (besides the unfortunate connotations in English)?

In any case, you have the French to “thank” for the grave as well ;)

> Where you can multiply and divide things and get new units without any other actions. One great example where algebra is very useful.

Indeed! It is a wonderful sanity check; I cannot count the number of times I found a mistake after some straightforward dimensions analysis.
I think the way those examinations were set up helped a lot in getting confortable (or at least good enough): like it was a weekly event, just three students and the teacher in one room, each student working on its own question(s); the teachers were more or less helpful, but most would guide us along, not leaving us stuck at our blackboard for the whole duration.

But if one, even if those situation really can't do it, they'd have to switch to a course/class without any oral examination to get their degrees, but I think it's way better to learn as a student than as a professional (and yes, like the sibling comment, I think most people _can_ learn to an acceptable degree)

Meh, this is mainly a bad excuse. Even when I'm doing CAD or manipulating large 3D datasets, I can get my work done with just a 14" laptop and a good trackball. There is some reduction in efficiency, but mainly due to scp'ing large files or waiting for the slower CPU. For coding it's not an issue at all, as long as you have your toolchain set up properly.

I find that the high DPI trend has a tendency to limit us unneccesarily more than actually fix anything. It is still common to say max 80 characters per line. In the olden days where that comes from, it would require 640 pixels horizontally. So at 100% scaling you can fit 3 standard terminals side-by-side and fit 60+ lines vertically, what more do you need when you also have multiple workspaces to tab across?
> Scarcity is not necessary for leverage. Preventing defectors from collective bargaining is.

"Preventing defectors from collective bargaining" is also, more or less, the definition of what an economic cartel does.
> When the German parliament approved a new measure this month slashing public transit fares nationwide for three months this summer, the move reflected the severity of the nation’s energy crisis. To reduce its heavy reliance on Russian gas and oil after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany is desperate to find ways to reduce its fuel consumption and push more drivers to take trains and buses.

The entire premise that Germany is "mortally reliant" on Russian gas is plainly wrong.

Double digit of gas Germany imports ends up as its electricity exports. Only 20% of the gas actually goes to the industry.

> You'll save money and eat better.

Yes, of course, if you're willing to trade your time into these things, you can generally end up with an output that is less expensive. The question, as always, is the amount of time required worth the trade?

> You'll save money and eat better.

The amount of my diet that is bread is so small that this really has no measurable impact on my life, and certainly wouldn't be worth the prep, cook and cleanup time required.

I just always dislike the suggestion that you have to become an "artisan chef" to be able to eat well at home. There are plenty of whole and locally made products at your local grocery that you can make great meals out of with very little time involved.

A bagged loaf of bread, some deli sliced meat and cheese, maybe some greens and you've got everything you need for great sandwiches all week that take less than 5 minutes to prepare and serve. You're not sacrificing anything by doing this.
I agree, though I am a big fan of metric too. Imperial is simply more ergonomic for the day to day. This also applies to other folk systems such as the Russian or Chinese, to avoid notions of Anglo-centrism or Euro-centrism.

If I want to drink until I’m buzzed, I’ll have 3 pints of beer, not 1.5L or (god forbid) 1500ml.

If I want to run a decent distance I’ll do 6 miles, not the gruelling sounding 10km.

If I want enough meat to make a stew, I’ll have 1 pound, not 500g or 0.5kg.

Try losing a 0 or a decimal point in base 12 as well.
Facebook has allowed anyone to spread video capturing police misconduct that the mainstream press has ignored for decades.

Google with Android and ChromeOS has put computing devices in the hands of people who could never afford the alternative and YouTube has allowed anyone to publish video.

I myself find Google’s products second rate and I prefer business models where I give the company money and they give me stuff. But I realize that a $1200 iPhone Pro Max is an indulgence that many walking around with a $35 unsubsidized phone can’t afford.

Start by dealing (or not) with "dotted pair" notation up front. eg (a . b) (a b . c) etc.

This confronts a whole bunch of issues directly and immediately. What is a list, really? How do I handle recursion in my parsing--implementation language (fast--but maybe not tail recursive and weak to cycles) or lisp (slower--but probably infinite and handles circular lists)? How do I deal with garbage (long parses kick up a lot of garbage)?

Dealing with dotted pairs is the difference that means you understand implementing lisp rather than are just toying with it.

The current SPA vs MPA debate is conflating multiple things, when really I think the current trend isn't a move away from SPAs, it's a move towards server side rendering. Server side rendering is completely compatible with a SPA architecture, thats exactly what tools like Hotwire/Turbolinks and Livewire are doing, and in many ways makes it easer and more light weight.

I believe the current frustration is with having to build APIs as a bridge between your backend and frontend with many of these JS SPA toolkits. With a server rendered "html on the wire" type architecture you don't need to build flexible apis. No need to plan ahead what you need, no more separate API authentication (at an object level), fewer moving parts in your stack.

I think the future (for a large subset of website/apps) are frameworks that take a "hybrid" component approach, where you are defining in one place your sever and client code. If you open up a simple automatic bridge on the component level between back and frontend you remove an awful lot of leg work from building a site.

There is always going to be a need for all these different architectures though, there will never be "one true solution".

(Disclaimer, I'm building a hybrid component toolkit called Tetra http://tetraframework.com, so I'm somewhat biased)

There are no standardized high-school exams in the USA. The closest things would be SAT/ACT which are taken by college-bound high school students, but they are separate from high school and have zero bearing on graduating from high school.

I don't know of any reason an older person could not take the SAT but also most older students interested in going to university would be admitted under different critera than a 17 year old, and high school grades and SAT might not be relevant at all for someone in his 30s or older.
Not only Mozilla's privacy claims are smoke and mirrors (you need uBlock Origin to get any reasonable privacy on the web today - why is it not included by default despite being permissively licensed?), they have opt-out telemetry (in breach of the GDPR), the browser will load a page with Google Analytics on first run and will nag you with bullshit on nearly every update (and it updates often) not to mention change the UI all the time for no good reason.

Firefox is the most user-hostile free & open-source software that I know of, and more hostile than a lot of paid, proprietary software.
We also have a third XFL coming soon!

The AFL was actually relatively successful since it forced a merger with the NFL. Meanwhile, at least according to a 30 for 30 documentary, the original USFL had a potentially viable niche as a second-tier spring league for awhile until they made the bizarre decision to switch to the fall football season and try to force an NFL merger.

Apple won’t release this product unless it is mind blowing. If Bloomberg’s reporting is true, then we should all be looking forward to a very cool demo at WWDC and an incredible product some time in 2023.

Very few people predicted the iPhone accurately before its launch. And it’s reasonable to say the iPhone blew minds because Apple figured out multitouch AND reduced the latency of the interface to the extend required so that it felt natural to use. If they mail AR in the same way, they will have the next iPhone.

I am bullish on the prospect of this happening.

I have found an air fryer is good to prepare meat that's juicy and doesn't take much work/skill to get it right beyond learning temperature & timing (and a bit about seasoning).

> doctors ask patient how do they feel all the time.

And teachers _constantly_ monitor how their students are doing - "feedback from their customers" if you want to put it that way. Talking with them during or after class to see how things are going, assessments on homework, projects and tests, parent-teacher interviews, individual learning plans, collaborations between teachers... I would venture to say "making sure a student is doing well" takes up most of the time of the job.

A patient complaining to their doctor about some treatment not working is not telling the doctor how to do their job. Your first comment made a claim about how student assessments should be done. This is something at the heart of pedagogy and has been studied and experimented on. The analogy to health care would be like if you declared the ways in which doctors should screen for cancer. Nobody without medical training would ever think to make such a claim, but many people seem quite confident in making similar claims about how the education system should work, as you did in your first comment.

I'm not even making an argument about whether you are right or wrong. There are many ways in which assessments can change for the better (educators would be the first to agree with you there). But to then go on and say "you shouldn't measure knowledge, only student satisfaction" without really showing an understanding of how knowledge or satisfaction are currently - or potentially could be - assessed... are you up to date with recent literature on these concepts? Do you have experience performing these kinds of assessments?

I'm still not sure what point you are making with your second section in this comment so I won't try to respond.
Well then it doesn't seem so groundbreaking then

Yeah, they're not the most stylish.

I've had several different Android Wear smart watches, and an MS Band before those. In every case, the battery life went from bad to worse after a year or two (like 1-2 days, to less than a day). Because of this, battery life is my number one criteria. And why I won't get an Apple watch.

I had a 645M for years. Its lower end than the Fenix, and has a smaller battery. I had mine for over 4 years, and never noticed any substantial battery degradation. I upgraded to the Fenix 6 after I broke the watch case (broke the tip off the thing that holds the band pin in place) when it caught on my very heavy backpack.

It looks like there is now a newer Fenix 7 with longer (28 day) battery life. And they have solar editions that get up to 37 days (or 1+ years in battery saver mode).

Third party browser disabling is now enabled by default in firefox and safari, so no operation needed. API used for fingerprinting alternations require no operation on my side.

It didn't because honouring it was a server side choice. Just like honouring the EU cookie law is a server side choice and doesn't really work either. If you don't want a cookie to be used to track you: don't send it.
Hi John, I recall that, those ragdolls falling down stairs. From what I heard from a few Pixel employees, Pixar uses Bullet for some rigid body VFX effects, and Bullet still uses velocity-level LCP in combination with maximal coordinate constraints or with Featherstone-style reduced coordinate forward dynamics.

The impulse/velocity-based contact model allows to model arbitrary soft contact (using contact force mixing (CFM) and error reduction parameter (ERP) terms), similar to spring-damper or MuJoCo-style contact (for MuJoCo see https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/computation.html and https://github.com/deepmind/mujoco). For the last 10 years we use this also for robotics simulation for quadruped robots and robot arm grasping contact. Check out Erin Catto's presentation about re-inventing soft springs in this PDF: https://box2d.org/files/ErinCatto_SoftConstraints_GDC2011.pd...

Furthermore, impulse/velocity-level LCP based constraint solving can be combined with finite element method (FEM) or mass-spring based deformable contact solving if higher-accuracy contact and friction modeling is needed.

Frozen veggies sound like a good option for you. You can stock a wide variety, and the prep work is already done. They cook from frozen just fine. Steaming in a microwave with a closed bowl is particularly fast. Combine that with a protein you can pan fry, and you've got a decent meal in 10 minutes flat.

I also batch cook using sous vide. So I'll buy a bulk package of protein, then portion it into bags with various marinades or sauce bases. These don't have to be intricate or high effort, eg, I'll sometimes do a chicken tinga for tacos that's nothing more complex than a chicken thigh and a can of El Pato. I do a lot of variations of Thai curry that are just a thigh, some premade paste, and coconut cream, and maybe some aromatics if I feel fancy.

Anyhow, these all get batch cooked in the sous vide. It takes me around 10 minutes to process 10 lbs of chicken or such into 20 portions, usually 4 or so variations. Then into the freezer they go where they last indefinitely. I generally do about 2 to 3 batches this way per month. At any given time I have around 3 to 4 weeks of food ready to go in the freezer, with a wide variety of options, and all reflecting the nutritional balance I want.

So then how I use this on a day to day basis. Say I feel one of the Mussamum curries I made a couple months back. Even though it's not thawed I can plop it back in the sous vide to handle that. I load up the rice cooker at the same time. This takes all of 30 seconds, then I just ignore stuff for about 30 minutes. When ready I come back, pull the bag, and toss the contents into a skillet along with whatever selection of frozen veg I feel like. Adjust seasoning and then just simmer until the veg are where you want, about 5 minutes. Plate up with the rice.

So again, just because of how I've organized things, I've got a whole menu in that freezer that takes less than 15 minutes active time to get on a plate.

I wouldn't underestimate just how fast and breezy things can get once you figure out the patterns that work for you. And for me now this stuff is on auto pilot, so the active time involved doesn't feel like any particular effort. Honestly it reduces my stress levels quite a bit knowing I've got plenty of good food ready to go for weeks if I need to be a hermit for whatever reason. This whole approach particularly helped during the worst of COVID.

I saw in one of your other comments you mentioned Gordon Ramsey videos. He's very savvy as far as recipe concepts and knowing what will appeal. However a lot of his specific cooking advice is off the mark, or not particularly helpful for someone cooking at home vs in a classic french brigade kitchen.

I'd suggest checking out J Kenji Lopez-Alt's youtube channel. He's got a bunch of low key videos where he cooks various things, often using a POV camera. All his advice is grounded in modern food science vs some of the older folklore, and he has a very practical and unfussy mindset overall.
