The democratic process, other than instances where it can be independently verifiable, like a show of hands in a room, or on a blockchain, is obsolete. It is a pretense for criminals to occupy and corrupt.
I created Askama (which yarte forked), the inheritance docs aren't great but also not too bad. Curious why you didn't try it?
It's more attractive than driving when the bus runs every ten minutes in a dedicated lane, and the car user has to pay the real cost of parking rather than have the city provide it. I know because I lived in a place like this. I used the car to leave town and for some larger shopping, everything within a few miles I accessed on foot, bike, or transit. With fewer people using cars for short trips, all of those things become a lot more pleasant.
Your walls are compatible with 30 y.o. paintings, along with a century old, five centuries old or even a prehistoric ones (if you manage to find such).

99% of 20 y.o. games aren't compatible with anything newer than a 2010's hardware and for 30 year old games you can't even copy/try to run them on anything modern - floppies died ~2010.

20 y.o. video games are roughly equivalent of Late modern period art.

30 y.o. video games are somewhere between the classical antiquity and the Middle ages.

40 y.o. are closer to Egyptian Pyramids.
The people running the show see no benefit from their team members "learning" or "gaining experience". If they ship the game and are so ground down they're burned out and ineffective, that's a problem for the next guy; the manager who got the game shipped by burning out the team got a huge bonus and has leveraged it into a shiny position somewhere else by the time any of the consequences rear their heads. IME this type of short-term thinking inevitably infects most companies, unless there is a very strong culture to combat it.
Agree. A lot of the movement to try and develop everything inside Linux containers is driven by a few factors, none of which are particularly fundamental and which may see a reversal for unrelated reasons in future:

1. The insistence on doing UI exclusively via web browsers. They aren't particularly well suited to it and at some point competition for them may arise.

2. The insistence on using complicated proprietary cloud services to allow scalability, without actually doing any scalability calculations to justify it. A modern dedicated server is a staggering piece of kit. NVMe SSDs are game changers. You can scale a bog standard ordinary RDBMS setup to very large amounts of load without needing any special cloud databases at all, and it'll be easier to program. People don't realize this because they tend to think about scaling in binary terms: "it scales infinitely"/"it doesn't scale and that's bad". That sort of mental shortcut can be OK when money is free, but, well, we're entering a period where it may not be. The sort of engineers who can actually do load tests and figure out plausible maximum QPS for their load can pay for themselves quickly.

3. The fact that the only competition for Linux on the server side is cloud APIs and services, and Linux badly needs the competition.

4. The popularity of toolchains/languages with extremely weak portability layers and convoluted packaging systems. Java nailed this. Python, Ruby, Go ... not so much. This inevitably pushes people who use those tools towards using their local OS as a glorified terminal window manager for dialing in to Linux VMs because nothing works right if they try to use Windows or macOS directly.

If your app genuinely needs something only AWS can provide then yes, you have to develop in the cloud and not against a local implementation. But that's a bug not a feature, and if you're in that boat then you're exposed to all sorts of problems beyond needing to develop against production (e.g. opacity of failures, unexpected cost explosions). If you can run the bulk of your app on a JVM with a Postgres connection then that's a competitive advantage - your devs can use the environments they're most comfortable with, you've got full insight into the whole stack if anything goes wrong, outages can't shut down the whole development team and you're not racking up cloud charges for development purposes.
I am glad you pointed this out. Few seem to understand that once the envelope is open and thrown away there is no way to verify the ballot being legitimate in many states. It's sad that people think with such a system there is no chance of voter fraud. They will smugly say that a recount confirmed everything was legitimate, etc. Very frustrating that the nuance is lost on them.

Ballots need serial numbers that trace back to a person that we can pick up a phone and confirm their vote when elections are contested. Being unable to do a spot-check audit is just plain stupid. Every person should be able to look up their ballot and see how it was counted at the end of the election.

Let's say voter fraud is indeed very low in the US, why not make obvious moves to make it even more accurate and honest?
This is a hysterical question to ask, primarily because -- if you look at the statistics of election night -- it appears that exactly what you're describing happened.
i'm from the chicago area (nice suburban part) and totally agree.

I suspect it's also something like 5x cheaper to compose healthy meals 5x healthier at home, IF one has a home in which such can be done.
I'm very much on the "this shit's too complicated, we should fix whatever's making us not use the standard features and tools instead of piling this garbage on top" train, but I think a valid defense of doing things in Javascript that could be done in HTML is that, as soon as you need to do any e.g. form validation in JS, it may be simpler to just do all of it there.

The accessibility issue is, of course, a solid counter-argument to running too far with that line of reasoning, and is part of why I'd much rather we put 1/10 the effort we do to constantly re-implementing basic HTML features into unfucking HTML standardization so we can finally have elements good-enough that we don't need to pile JS on top to get what ought to be built-in functionality. But, that's a whole different skillset from programming, and requires far more organization than thousands of devs all independently, or in small teams, working on yet another NIH version of an image upload input. :-/
Sweden isn't socialist.

Sweden has welfare benefits slightly more titled in favor of the benefit receivers relative to the US. California unemployment lasts 26 weeks (182 days) compared to Sweden's 300 days. The USA provides free education from K-12, and then subsidized post-secondary education. Sweden provides citizens free tuition through college (international students pay similar tuition to American universities).

Everything a Swedish citizen might receive from the government, an American would have an analogous program, it just might have a lower payout, shorter duration or have more bureaucratic hassles to get. But it's not like these are fundamentally different systems, they're the same system with some numbers tweaked.

What's "anthro" about bodies? Spiders have bodies. Heck, cars have bodies.

Anyway, I think you're missing the point a little. Sure, we could build a super intelligent agent that lives entirely in the stock market or some disembodied place. And if the stock market were a closed system, that intelligence could (theoretically at least) reign supreme in that realm.

But when people say artificial "general" intelligence, what the "general" means is "for typical Earthly challenges". And there is no way a critter could be good at typical Earthly challenges without... you know... existing on Earth, growing up on Earth, and learning by interacting with Earth. A.k.a having a body.
At the end of the day basically all jobs little kids dream about (actor, doctor, astronaut, making video games) are either really hard to get into (like doctor) or pay very poorly for the majority of people (like actor and making video games).

There really is no simpler way to say it than this, and it raises the question: how do you even make progress with a group who bases decisions on dogma rather than reason?
Also, the real hardware was both rare and fairly expensive so the community is further restricted. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Doom was never ported to stuff like TANDEM mainframes either.
I can answer this! Last Christmas someone sent us a big box of stuff from Katz's. The meats (there were 3 or 4) were vacuum packed, and there was some condiments and some bread and I forget what else. It was all packed in a big box with ice packs. I think it was shipped over night from Katz's.

I assume that most deli meats don't lose much being packed up like this? I can't say for sure, but this kind of stuff is probably already served in a similar state, not right out of the oven. So I can only assume it tasted more or less like it would if we have gone to Katz's. The bread no doubt would be better fresh.

It all tasted... ok. I expected it to be awesome, but it was just ok.
But they are. We have several a millenia of history on how to construct cities in a way that is scale appropriate to us as humans. We choose to ignore it, but that doesn't mean that applying the same principles, we cannot achieve the same thing in the US.
The formula is simple. Build out the core of each city that compromises a metropolitan area so that it is pedestrian first. You do that by building out multi family mixed used housing in the core. Then you ensure there are a lot of buses/bike lanes/trains that get you in and out of there, rinse, repeat. It tends towards happier, healthier people that spends more. Look up the statistics on that.
This isn't a thread about mail-in voting.
See, that's why ballots are only sent out when people explicitly ask for them. otherwise you get a single-use invitation that is changed against a ballot at the polling station. Showing up with an ID but without invitation gets you struck from the voter list for that polling station, and it gets you a ballot.

So that leaves people that are coerced into asking for mail-in ballots and are then forced to vote a certain way. Without being caught doing it at a scale enough to tip an election. good luck doing that in a system that isn't gerrymandered to the point that one district in, e.g. Florida, can decide a presidential election with only a handful of votes. In a normal system not election is ever close enough that this small scale tempering has any impact on results. Which is exactly why it happens so rarely, and is almost always detected.
Not a doctor, but I believe that has to do with vastly improved survival rates for heart attacks. Hospitals have just gotten much better about it, by knowing that they have to act fast and having procedures in place to ensure that happens.

20 years ago a heart attack had a very high chance of death, even if you’re close to a hospital. These days, you’re much less likely to die if you get to a hospital / medic in time.
How do other editors/IDEs perform in terms of accessibility? What are your favorites?
Union, yes!

I'm waiting to see how this "metaverse" thing works out, as it moves from the dreams and bullshit stage to the actual implementation stage. Big, high-quality shared virtual worlds are hard. There really are no off the shelf solutions that Just Work. Epic is spending US$2 billion on this. Roblox has 90 dev teams. The NFT crowd has announced lots of stuff, and shipped only very basic worlds such as Decentraland.

Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_Netherlands#..., the population of the Netherlands about doubled since 1945, so the vast majority of its cities may predate cars, but the vast majority of its neighborhoods won’t.

I expect average household size to have decreased significantly, so it wouldn’t surprise me if at least 75% of inhabitants lived in post-war houses.

Because of that, I don’t see suburban construction as a major difference between the USA and the Netherlands.

A major difference likely is that the USA has room for sprawl, while the Netherlands doesn’t. Dutch suburbs likely are more dense than ones in the USA.
I think there is both less homelessness, and also what there is, is less visible. Some of this is simply scale-dependent. If a town of 1,000 people has a homeless person, he's thought of as "that guy", not scary, and anyway he's only one. If a town of 1,000,000 has 1,000 homeless, it's an encampment, and if they all cluster in the middle of town it causes people to feel unsafe, because they're outnumbered when walking downtown.

Then it's not enough to say it, show the numbers. Considering the tiny demographic it serves, I'd imagine the cuts on the basis of inequality are a convenient excuse to slash spending, and not increase it otherwise.

There's no relationship between gutting gifted programs and either alleviating inequality or improving outcomes of all other students. If you want to do the latter, that requires it's own intervention.

This basically apes the rhetoric of the right-wing on the part of social spending. "We can't afford it, it should be spent on other things". Same mentality.
I first saw an Apple ][ when I was in the 3rd grade at a private school, I got a TRS-80 Color Computer of my own the next year. That was my computer for most of the 1980s until I got a Coco 3 and then a 286 machine maybe a year or two after that.

What I find striking about it was a time from 1979 to 1986 when home computers seemed frozen in midair. Steve Jobs for instance was terrified that the Apple ][ would quickly become obsolete and tried desperate things like the Apple /// (melts down like Three mile island, they wouldn't even demo it at the computer store for that reason), Lisa (order of magnitude too expensive) and the first Mac (only a cool demo because it had too little RAM.) Atari thought the Atari 2600 wouldn't last so they released a large number of successors that failed to get traction.

The basic issue was that, at that point, microcomputers hadn't obtained what IBM had obtained with the 360 mainframes. That is, you couldn't expect to replace your Commodore 64 with a Commodore 65 that was compatible but faster and had more storage. Upgrades were few and far between and each one left you thinking if you want to jump ship to another platform and we all did... The IBM PC. IBM really was the first company to do for micros what they did for mainframes.

(One reason for that was that early microcomputers were built around the video output system so you couldn't increase the CPU clock by 10% without redesigning everything!)

I think it was the summer of 1987 when I got a 286 machine and left it behind. From an operating systems standpoint the 286 was every bit as "brain damaged" as Bill Gates said it was but it was getting into the minicomputer performance range. The rest of the industry saw Motorola's 68k line as being the future but the 68k punched under its weight for realized performance just as the 6502 punched above its weight. Even Motorola gave up on it and all the companies like Atari, Amiga, Apple and Sun either went out of business or switched to some kind of RISC processor. People in the PC universe could just upgrade to 286, 386, 486, ... and benefit from an explosion in performance.

No because proximity to a Post Office isn't a reasonable criteria for suppressing a persons right to vote.

Atom to me was always "toy version of Sublime Text for web dev hipsters".
> Otherwise, the differences between the OS you'll find will be minor

I think this is by design. If things are too different from one os to another, it raises the barrier to entry and hampers adoption. Furthermore, Linux distributions often also rely on things like standardized tooling and file system layout to ensure backwards compatibility

There are people who try to do new things in the space (gnu guix and nixos come to mind), but they tend to be comparably fringe when put side by side with something more mainstream (and perhaps battle-tested) like Debian or BSD
Our experiences differ, then. I have found it to be more easy to refactor and parallelize that other languages I have used.

Debugging has not been difficult either, but I have always use print debugging in every language, so there is not much I can compare.

> Spanish even distinguishes cuñado (brother-in-law by blood relation to your spouse) from concuñado, your spouse’s sibling’s husband—something like “co-brother-in-law”.

I've thought it confusing that English doesn't have separate terms for my brother's wife and my wife's sister (both of which are simply "sister-in-law"). Why are we content to describe these people as people of the same generation who are not blood relatives? This doesn't even get into the Spanish example above, which refers to two degrees of marriage separation.
You're free to go develop a transpiler that adds the guards/checks you desire to your code. Nothing stops you from building on this starting place. The data would be there.

JS engines could do the same!

Let's start with the first steps: getting the information.
How did it sound?
I'm living in a dense-enough area, advocating against people that want to destroy it by getting rid of parking requirements and forcing further density on an area which has reached what I feel is the limit.

I loved Fallout 4, I'm sorry. Every second. I think a lot of people see the older games through nostalgia lenses when their lives were better/minds were younger/they were first experiencing an engrossing RPG. I played NV after 4 and NV was good too. Fallout 3 I keep giving up on and I'm not a quitter. It just doesn't draw me in like the other ones. It seems crude and simple comparatively, due to its age I guess.
I could certainly see someone doing something like this to keep the real one for themselves at low to no cost.

Get super rare game for $10k, make as perfect a copy of it as you can, sell the copy for $10k, keep the original, even if privately.

But if you're doing that, you wouldn't need to make disks containing obvious fakes.
I suspect no one anticipated the identity could come into tension with equality in this way, but in hindsight it seems obvious and inevitable that it would. We probably will end up abandoning gender categories altogether, it seems the only possible step forward
Fair enough. I just personally feel like committed fraud five elections before getting caught is too many.

I feel like that's a stretch. Just look at how many people play Rimworld, which has a fundamentally similar concept but much, much easier to understand UI/UX.
> can compute an arbitrarily large function on the encrypted data

What is the meaning of the word "large" here? How are we defining the size of a function?
Running Ubuntu (and most other os’s support this) I opt for different desktops for different contextual work - and I keep my sound turned down when I’m focused. I find that it minimizes my cognitive switching costs, but is still easy to switch when I choose.
I think that's a worthy goal. I find it really bad that in this age of super-mega CPUs apps still feel not much faster than say 20 years ago. The reason I think is because like cities apps are built on top of other apps, like VSCode on top of Electron.

Secondly when you re-create from scratch you can keep the best features and drop the ones we've learned are not so useful.

Godspeed!
I do the same. 3 different browsers: work, personal and random stuff. Keeping them isolated from each other clears the clutter and my focus when working.
If anyone looking for a career in the tech industry says they love games and game development, please tell them not to work for a gaming company. I suppose they're not all horrible, but the percentage of horrible companies in the gaming industry is too damn high.

> They've taken the low cost, fast approach to cutting CO2 emissions rather than the high cost, incredibly-so-very-slow approach of commission a bunch of nuclear plants and then burn a LOT of coal and send a lot of money to Russia until they're finally done, over-budget and over-time circa 2040.

Stop being a stupid marginalist. The cost of renewables is only cheap when one doesn't both to do the grid storage and other serious steps that make it actually scale to a 100% solution. Then it balloons right back up again.

Any country that cannot build a nuclear power plant on time will also hit delays trying to do other major infrastructure projects like grid-scale storage.
> most people don't want to live in apartments forever.

I believe this would not be the case if we built apartments better.

For my personal take I'd need a communal workshop / garage to store and work on my motorcycle, far better sound deadening, equivalent square footage of personal space, a nice playground for my kids, affordability to move to N+1 bedrooms when N+1th child arrives, and that fresh clean air feeling that the suburbs has which downtown SF's crap and urine infested streets do not... oh and as affordable as the suburbs (net of benefits of being central)
