Yep. I wonder, if the balance has gone too far without any checks or balances? A/B testing our way into oblivion. May be, we should do a massive A/B test between 15 year old UI and today's UI. They'd probably have to modify old UIs to add some more images because visuals dominate.

I realize these things probably have commercial implications, but goddamn it feels good to rant.
I had dinner together with my family very, very regularly growing up. I also did a ton of extracurriculars, including sports. I think when I was younger, it was every night as a family. In high school, I’d miss dinner on competition nights or when that particular sport’s practice schedule was incompatible with dinner time for whatever reason.

I plan on having dinner together as many nights as possible when I start a family, but not to the extent of disallowing extracurriculars. But I also think that I would discourage my kids from being so involved elsewhere that we can’t have dinner together as a family a couple times a week.
> Foobar2000? where are you? Do you still have that tattoo on your arm that screams "FUNCTIONALISM"?

F2K is at https://www.foobar2000.org/, it works just as well as ever, and, yes, still has that tattoo. I’m happily using the Mac version on Big Sur.
Free will and the self does not exist.

Edit: with this I only meant to say that it is unfair to judge or blame - policies still need to be enforced which is in line with the established consensus of moral philosophy.

> Sender reputation where you block smaller email providers indiscriminately without weighting DKIM signatures or identity

That's not true.

> because nobody believes that Google is going to send spam mail.

This sentence indicates you don't know much about who sends spam or not.

> The computational cost is imposed on non-Google players

You're going in circles. Do you not see how that especially is unfair to the smaller players? Spammers have just as much compute, it will just impose an additional burden on the legitimate senders.

So in your scenario a small startup has to wait tens of minutes (bunch of letters in the queue already) to send email confirmation letters. The spammer on the other hand does the same, it'll infect a few more devices, they've exeeded the startup's sending rate.

Alternatively, both the spammer and the hypothetical startup build reputation first. They'll warm up the domain, both get to send more in the same timeframe. So... we're at the beginning again, everyone warms up their domains and IP's like they do right now. PoW hasn't improved the sitation.

> I don't see what your point is here.

Because you haven't seen enough spam. On average everyone is incentivised not to accept mail from new or unknown domains.

> everyone is incentivized to accept legitimate, non-spam email from all of their customers

No shit, but also not the topic. Received mail is not perfect, that's what's the actual topic.
I have wired headphones. However, I also have a lot of other things like lights, a mic on a boom arm, wireless mouse and keyboard, etc.

If I had not had lots of trouble with my previous Bluetooth headphones, I definitely would still go wireless. there are just too many things for the cable to get tangled in, including me and the arms and wheels of my chair, the boom arm...

Also, I have a one year old that gets positively giddy every time he rips my headphone jack out of my amp and gets a reaction out of me.
I guess contemporary history of philosophy is kind of a modern product, so it makes sense that it might have been used in a different way back in the day. A lot of historical rationalists considered themselves empiricists, and vice versa. It's also not a term contemporary to like, Descartes (iirc).

I think the current meaning of rationalism (as opposed to empiricism) is vastly more useful than it as yet another 'good-ism', but you're probably right, words can change. It's still stupid that they didn't bother googling the term before calling themselves it.
I am totally ignorant when it comes to us government yes. I just put up a European perspective. A little hope if you will
But Apple TV (the streaming service that I can access on the web, not the hardware smart TV thing) is much worse than Disney. Literally can't find the name or number of the episode that I'm currently watching in order to tell my wife.
My current role is mostly done by Windows people (my direct boss is a Windows guy, although his boss runs Linux at work) and I took it while interactions were minimised due to COVID so we decided I should run Windows on the work laptop.

So I figured "When in Rome" and I have Visual Studio and I expected I would come away saying this is pretty cool but I want a modal editor.

Nope, it's terrible. It does have a debugger that is better than I'm used to, but I spend very little time in a debugger, what we're doing isn't rocket surgery. Visual Studio apparently doesn't understand how git works or doesn't understand how files work, so e.g. I'll modify somefile.cs in one tab to fix something, compile, verify my fix worked, go to the Git tab and Visual Studio is wide-eyed. What could I want? There aren't any changes. Yes there are VS, you just saved them, to a file.

So I exit VS and restart it. "Oh!" realises Visual Studio, somebody changed the file. Yes, it was you. You wrote to the file, when I hit save. That's what files are Visual Studio, why is this hard? Now I can commit my change.

C# is a much better language than I expected, PowerShell is a much worse language than I expected. Lots of surprises, good and bad, but I think "Visual Studio is bad at the thing it's for" was the largest surprise.
This article misses quite a bit.

Podman has a full Docker compatible API, so you just have to enable it, and then set the DOCKER_HOST to point to its socket. From there docker compose should work as if you had Docker.

Podman also is currently working on "podman machine", which can spin up a Linux VM to run Podman on macOS and Windows. I think it's still in beta or something, but it seems to be working already.

There is also things like Podman Desktop[0] and Podman Desktop Companion[1] which attempt to bring an experience similar to Docker Desktop to Podman.

It's easy to find bad UX in the industry, and I think that the reason is that it doesn't have to be good. It's hardly ever the differentiator that makes a difference when you choose to subscribe or not. The same could be said about the UX of Google services, etc. Capital flows to acquiring new subscribers and, grudgingly, to retaining old ones.
Dear Spotify, please do not go back to 2001. Thanks.

On a serious note. If all you do is high intent searches (I know exactly the one song/podcast I want), Spotify is not for you. Spotify is about discovery. Stick to iTunes or Winamp or Kazaa or Youtube or anything else that just gives you a list of things. Don't make the product worse because you're using it for something it's not designed around.
Kind of like wasabi. The people who expect real wasabi know what to look for.

In the UK gasoline is also priced to the thousandth: prices are in pence per litre with one decimal point. E.g. at the moment you might see "182.9" for diesel, which of course means £1.829 per litre.

I suspect this comes from a time when a Pound was a lot compare to the price of petrol...
Yes, half the blame is on the languages

I wish there was a 'here be dragons' statement that you could put and it would run a function or a snippet on a special debugging mode (without the need for a debugging tool). And then ask questions like "who set this to value X" or "just print the local vars here" etc

I think the closest we have to this are the debugging environments that (for example) Flask gives you (maybe other frameworks)

I had high hopes for crypto, then I left ignorance. Insane high transaction cost, and time that gets worse as network gets popular and bigger. Highly unsafe as losing a key meant all of it is gone, no customers service. Insane amount of electricity consumption. All big currencies are mostly owned by few unknown individuals/wallets. Highly speculative price despite it being out for 10 years.

One reason why EA takes AI risks seriously is exactly because of how hard it is to define what is "good" or what "utility" makes humans happy.
It seems like we moved back in time somehow. To a time before Windows 95. We use to have multiple applications running, each in their own little Window, on a low resolution monitor. Windows where no bigger than you could reasonably justify, because you didn't know other programs the user might be running at the same time, on their tiny monitor. Our monitor are bigger than ever, higher resolution, yet many applications are designed as if they would have the entire screen to themself.
More likely covid was the issue (assuming you went in 2021?)

A lot of unavoidable staff sickness has caused major troubles in manufacturing and delivery of goods.

Plus some real stupidity relating to tax and licensing of lorry drivers. :-(

Yes, brexit has had an effect, but I think covid is more significant.

> But that said, once you learn the quirks it is extremely predictable and robust.

I'm sorry, but this sounds like Stockholm syndrome to me. You admit that the car you're driving behaves unpredictably if you don't know it's quirks. But it still sounds like you're defending it.

This would be intolerable for most other cars, of not outright dangerous. I'm not trying to attack you, so I'm sorry to be this direct:

Why are you still keeping this anti-feature enabled? This sounds really dangerous.

You are correct, but I think "identity based encryption" protocols can run in MPC mode.
Multiple parties will generate distributed secret that will be used to generate private keys. Anyone can easily generate public key for any identity (e.g. email) for the given "key generator" setup using public data of this setup. But for a user to get their private key, they need to assemble secrets by proving their identity to multiple independent parties - you have to hack every one of them to restore the private key of user.
Sure they are fresher (if the fruit accepts being frozen) however I don't see why they would have less chemicals. Most chemicals people try to avoid are used for growing and not packaging. The only way to avoid these is buying trustable organic labels.

Please don't build a illusion of fair, non organic farms somehow working in a natural way when they actually are just as profit oriented as any other big company.
It's slightly different, because AWS have AZs. Each region is composed of at least 3 AZs, each one being at least a datacenter, at a distance from one another, but the region is usable as a single entity. An OVH DC is separate, but can be next to other DCs in an area ( e.g. the Strasbourg DCs were all next to each other) which is OK because they don't sell any AZ or regional features.
Bad pixel art is a pet peeve of mine. This is really advanced advice compared the problem most games have:

- pixels of different sizes

- rotating (!) pixels

- scaling pixels

- smooth gradients with millions of colours

- dynamic lighting overlayed on top

I could go on :(
The problem is: a frustrated user is not a leaving user. So as long the users stay at the platform and more money can be made the user experience will be crap.

Spotify has 2 types of users, the creator and consumer. As long as there is more money to be made from the creator user they will also A/B test for that user.
If you think prints can't interfere with thread execution you're very, very wrong.
Try Jetbrains Rider. It's miles ahead of VS, but don't expect a miracle.
Sure does, you can create a pool with that target/minimum replica just fine, there are some hosters that thought they were improving performance and data usage (which, well, is true), but ignored the impossibility of having any real redundancy at all; note that 2/2 is just fine though, but the pool will go read only if one failure domain goes down (compared to 3/2 where you can continue operating just fine in such a case).

IOW. 2/1 will never ever make sense, it's just crying for data loss, if you want to save on data usage, and if you also don't mind the (slightly) higher CPU load, you can use erasure coding instead:

So the spammers send a few warmup mails. It's very naive of you to think spammers can't imitate legit sender behavior.

It's also clear you haven't seen or analyzed any significant amount of spam. The end.

> The most important technology of the First World War was not the machine gun but the railroad

I disagree. First, the railroad already existed. You can argue its use in war was new. The Germans notably built railroads to the front at huge scale. But this presupposes a relatively static front, which was the reality of WWI. Probably the most important technological development was neither of these things: it was artillery.

I cannot recommend enough Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. There is a 6 part series called A Blueprint for Armageddon [1] that is well worth the 30+ hours it'll take to listen to.

Additionally, the full power of railroads (in terms of logistics) wasn't unleashed until the 1920s. Why? The invention of the humble pallet. I highly recommend reading this [2].

> Today the closest analogue to the logic of the strategic bomber lies in the world of economics. I speak of sanctions.

I 100% agree: economic sanctions are violence and not that far removed from strategic bombing. It's honestly a little surprising to hear an American saying this.

Sanctions ultimately are a form of collective punishment and in many such circumstances we consider that a war crime for good reason. In the 1990s, then US Ambassador to the UN later Us Secretary of STate Madeleine Albright was quoted as saying [3]:

> "We have heard that half a million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima," Stahl said. "And, you know, is the price worth it?"

> "I think that is a very hard choice," Albright answered, "but the price, we think, the price is worth it."

The author then goes on to argue (which again is surprising) that sanctions are largely ineffective and will continue to be so in the case of Russia. 100% agree, which is why that even though Putin was and is the bad guy for an unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, US policy towards Ukraine was completely reckless because we have no effective way to counter an opponent with a nuclear arsenal in armed conflict.

All of this was warned about in 2015 [4].

The brexit comments I find interesting, but pretending the metric system is meaningless or without reason is just daft.

The author's point is that the term is wrong because most northmen weren't going viking, weren't pirating and plundering and raiding, therefore it should be called something different.

Alright, cool, but suggest something better, then?

The way this time period is taught in Swedish schools is that we talk about the "viking age", and people generally know that referring to everyone living in Scandinavia at this time as "vikings" is wrong and sloppy, and a better term is "northmen".

But you know what? It doesn't matter.

The fact is that this time period (~800 to ~1050) in Scandinavia is reasonably well-defined, and characterized by a bunch of distinct shared features; art, religion, language, and culture, such that no other cultures had these features at this time. The start of the time period is usually set at the raid on Lindisfarne, because this was the first time that Scandinavians had some sort of effect on the rest of Europe, it's the first time we got "noticed" by the others, it's the first time we appear in history.

The Viking age generally ended with the Christianization of Scandinavia, and the establishment of the nation states that pretty much powered the historical events of the last thousand years in the area. Sure, history is always a continuous blur rather than well defined eras, but it's still a useful concept. The age of dragon-headed longboats, human sacrifices to Odin, runestones, and the Varingian guard was a thing, it was unique and unparallelled, and it left behind a legacy outside Scandinavia in the form of for example Normandy, the Danelaw, or the Kievan Rus, and a legacy inside Scandinavia, being an intrinsic part of the "founding mythos" of our modern nations.

This thing needs to be called something, so why not name it for the thing that started it, why not name it for the people going viking?
To be fair for a real Italian tomato sauce ala bologna you need a form of sugar to make to tomatoes taste great.

However a little bit of milk already does the trick. No need for whatever sugars people throw in there. The Industrie would never use milk for several reasons.

Also size and population though?

Bath, being a major city, has far more residents and visitors than Maerdy, a small rural village.

My guess in Maerdy is that the residents probably drive somewhere (Aberdare?) with a supermarket. I'm not sure I'd live there without a car...
Shouldn't source maps take care of this in all but the production build
To be fair, the quoted piece doesn't say "write a prescription for ibuprofen". It says doctors "prescribe ibuprofen". The former implies an actual written prescription you might give to a pharmacist, the latter is more ambiguous and can mean that the doctor told you to take ibuprofen. As in: "For my cold, the doctor prescribed plenty of rest and fluids".
Could you next time provide some small but meaningful description in the title? "Rr" is a little bit short in my opinion.
> I work in IT for 15 years and I legit have problems navigating the app

I have the same issue, just with YouTube Music (regardless of platform). Other applications I cannot figure out how to navigate includes Slack and Snapchat. Snapchat is on the phone, of cause, but sometimes I just need to exit the app, because I can't figure out how to get back. Slack... I just don't know, it looks like one of those crazy Chinese chat application that does EVERYTHING, or a Japanese newspaper.

Installing and using a Linux desktop 25 years ago was easier than using some of these applications.
I absolutely agree with everything you just wrote and would use a language like that.
Why do you think print debugging is going to help in a multithreaded scenario? Either your output is going to be wrong because there's no synchronization, you implement buffering which drastically changes the timing of your code and the behaviour, or you lock for printing which again drastically changes the timing and behaviour.
EA seems very fragile. The opposite of robust. First of all you have the potential problem of it being reductive (if one only looks at statistics) by discarding things like lived experience. You might just end up sending a million malaria nets to Africa which might contaminate the wildlife. Then you have the problem that you talk about that high income, smart nerds can have absolutely unhinged theories about how the world is going to develop.

Ethical behavior doesn’t take much philosophy. Be good to your family. Be good to your friends. Be good to your community. Be good to people who you for some ideological reason think that you should be good to or serve (here philosophy reintroduces itself). Be decent to people who are reasonable.

It’s much simpler, intellectually speaking, to figure out if you are on the right track by using interactions as cues. Following through might be more difficult.
