>Why you're not able to duplicate this in any of your desktop browsers in the last decade is anyone's guess.

Because it's a bug not an intentional design choice. If you can provide a legitimate use case for being able to open 30 overlapping fullscreen videos from a single user click on a web site then you might have a some sort of argument.

This doesn't work on desktop Safari thankfully, if it did you could make some argument they are sharing code and trying to make iOS more like a desktop OS with multitasking, but no again there is no reason to do this on any OS other than to crash users browsers.

I have been organizing meetups since last August. Initially we are purely online- mode through Zoom.

Starting May this year, we tried out the Hybrid mode - in-person meetup for people who miss the deep engagement (and perhaps free pizza ;-)) and are comfortable to show up, while broadcasting the sharing and discussion live - and the past three events turned out pretty well.

It's plainly obvious that reddit does not need ML to do what it needs to do.

Their investors are being taken on a wild ride.
They looked at both and compared them.
Likewise. It's probably the worst web UI I currently know of. Whatever team designed and implemented it should really feel bad about themselves and their work, it's unnecessarily bad, as if they were trying to make a shitty UI. I will happily stop using reddit if they kill old.reddit.com

In another sibling comment I mentioned how I looked through their engineering blog and didn't see any post where they have talked about any of the benefits they are enjoying due to their use of monorepo.

The question is specifically about their usecase, since not everybody would hit the same bottlenecks as they did with git monorepos.

Iow, have they stopped and thought whether it's still worth it (eg how often do their engineers make use of the monorepo benefits like cross-project refactorings)?
Oh dear. I did a brief search for 'adage on benchmarking' and only saw Rugg/Feldman benchmarks.
I find that reading fiction and walking in nature recharge me.

Try hiking a 6 - 10 mi (round trip) trail at a nearby state / national park. If that seems helpful, find a couple national parks that you think are really beautiful, and spend a week or two hiking around. (I recommend Canyonlands, which is good for a couple days, and it's nearby Arches, Bryce, Zion, and Capitol Reef national parks, as well as Monument Valley.)

Another option is long-distance walking trails. I did the West Highland Way in Scotland recently. I found it challenging, beautiful, and purposeful. It's 97 mi, which can be done over 7 - 8 days (although I recommend a few rest days), so it's not the 6 month commitment the Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Allegheny Trail are. England / Scotland have all kinds of walking trails. I heard about a 100 mi trail around Iceland, too. Anyway, it's very feasible, there are hotels along the way if you don't feel like camping (book ahead, 80k people walk the WHW every year), and there's camaraderie with the people you meet. The US doesn't really have walking trails except for backpacking in the wilderness, but a biking tour might have a similar effect.

If you release something new, you should make sure that your documentation contains useful information.

Even the most fundamental information like available configuration options, command-line arguments, deployment information and so on is missing.

Looking at the code it appears that you need Consul, Zookeeper and Redis to make this fly and the docs don't mention this anywhere. They (barely) explain how to run the SQL proxy on a local machine but thats it.

I wonder if the testimonials on your website are just pulled from thin air, I don't think any sane person would even experiment with this anywhere near production environments.
Very cool to see author responses on an article from 2013!

I was wondering why you chose to use the placeholder attribute to show labels rather than the (afaik recommended) usage of showing example values. The form shows example values, but outside the input fields. Did you test both ways and this turned out to be better after all, or this was just an implementation which worked fine in testing so it stuck?

I hope people get a chance to watched the video if/when(already?) is leaked. It was embarrassing for him. That was so weird, he is incompetent.

I always recommend fish to anyone who doesn't (yet!) have strong opinions about their shell.

Immediately seeing if you misspelled a command because the color changes is a huge benefit if you're not super familiar with the command line.

The auto-complete and suggestions are also miles better than bash - they are automatically generated from man pages, so most commands have a usable set of completions.

The web-based config lets you easily tweak settings that would otherwise be an incomprehensible soup of PS1=3!@*(!@!@ gobbledygook.

Also, it mostly "just works" out of the box, so you really don't have to waste any time setting anything up if you don't really care.

I was with you until this comment. Unnecessary ad-hominem, as well as a misguided premise. It looks like Josh has worked specifically in the "startup success" space for several years now. A lack of formal education does not preclude someone from being an expert. Not even sure what a formal education in this context would entail.
Interestingly, some people have administrative birthdays were they are born on an uncertain day of the month which is registered as day 0. So, somebody could be born the 0th of june 1950.

If there is even less information available the same goes for the month of the year. I have seen passports where people are born on 0-0-1970

I don't think so. It has problems with i18n. For example, the abbreviation for December is "Dic" in spanish and "Dez" in German, not "Dec" as in english.

> You are absolutely wrong in thinking Gerrymandering does not affect Congressional popular vote.

Gerrymandering does not even consistently hurt democrats in the number of House seats. Dems in 2020 won the same number of seats as their share of the Congressional popular vote.

> There are secondary effects you are ignoring with this incorrect belief. In recent years, since SCOTUS abandoned voting rights, the closure of polling stations also affects voting numbers.

This is the Democrat equivalent of believing the Big Lie.

> The way Congressional districts are made and the weirdness of the Senate representation is such that we will soon be governed by a minoritist party.

What’s Biden’s approval rating again?

> Who cares how things were in the 60s and 70s when the topic at hand is about the present day?

Because Democrats still claim to be the party of FDR, who stitched together a winning coalition. The electoral system benefited that coalition—when Biden became a Senator, Democrats had 10 percentage points more House seats than their share of the Congressional popular vote. That coalition is still viable. Obamacare was enacted on that coalition. Urban Dems have chosen deliberately to prioritize other things instead.
Have you tried it recently? It's gotten a lot better. The following commands used to not work, but now they all do:

true && echo hi
false || echo hi
export VAR=1
VAR=1 somecommand
echo "$(echo substitution)"
how does UV blocking reduce efficiency?
Thanks: that kinda defeats the purpose for me. If every week I have to drop out once or twice into regular shell since I'd be more efficient, I have to keep both syntaxes fresh, which is harder if you only use one occasionally.

As a DaVinci Resolve user I'm amazed at how good the Smooth Cut transition is at hiding cuts if the head moved very little during the cut portion of the video. It might be worth exploring more and seeing if it would make sense as an optional flag.
I think Americans are smarter than that.

In my country doctors don't give a shit about who you are or how much money you have. They do triage. You can be a millionaire yet have to wait 3 months for a new hip because there is someone with more urgent medical needs. It is pure unadultared fact based medicine to allocate scarce resources instead of market forces that turns you into a drone.

Universal healthcare is beatiful but also utterly terrifying. It is pure communism without the "some animals are more equal". It will lift up many Americans no doubt but for the prosperous it is not an automatic win.
I wouldn't call that a punchline, that's just one of the stated observations. This would be closer to the punchline:

“Our study confirms sex-specific behavioral changes in offspring as a result of these exposures, highlighting the fact that exposure to these chemicals should be avoided during pregnancy”

But the article is short enough to read in its entirety. I find all the observations alarming, not just that one, given how prevalent BPA use has been in the past decades.
This killed all shell interaction within my tmux setup, somehow, and I had to downgrade in osx/brew [1] back to v3.4.1 [2]. I'm still wondering what part of my (probably outdated) tmux config caused it, but the most suspicious part is the run-shell/if-shell stuff.

Anyway, have things to do before I can try again and dig in. Thought I'd post in case someone else ran into this.

The thing is, HTML/CSS/JS is good as a layout paradigm but garbage as an actual GUI layout and language, because they were intended for hypertext documents, not applications.

If you're going to do that, maybe consider versions of those intended to work as a native GUI layer, but which are as easy to develop as the web.

> Some like to complain about projects using Slack or Discord because they’re not open and can’t be archived publicly but really who is pulling value from old IRC logs today?

When projects use Slack or Discord (or, for that matter, IRC) as their primary support channel it becomes a lot more painful to search online for solutions to problems.
It should be noted that this study is on rats. But I think it's reasonable to use such a model to suspect a similar effect on humans.

I've been following the impact that endocrine disruptors have on humans for a while now, and I'm quite frankly flabbergasted that there is so little research being done on it. It seems issues related to hormonal imbalances among people are an increasing phenomenon, and it appears reasonable to me to suspect that these chemicals may have an impact on humans, especially in the development stage.

Perhaps people are afraid to do such research, as some of the implications could be threatening to their careers, considering the fact that some people seem to make hormonal imbalances part of their identity? I'm honestly a bit hesitant to even post this comment as it may quickly get flagged by people who oppose having an open discussion about these things, but oh well.
It's surprising that they are not even allowed to remember that you are older than, say, 21.
Reading the tweets it seems like he’s pulling a sleight-of-hand. He’s describing the cost of capital for startups, then describing the effects of a weaker market for software engineers.

Those are two separate things, but he doesn’t bother to prove there’s a correlation between the two. High burn rate startups are not the marginal buyer of software labor, their inability to budget does not need have any impact on the job market for engineers. In fact, their cost constraints make it more likely they’ll try to compete more on culture type benefits like wfh where they cannot outbid competing firms.
How do you make it less toxic?
I think it is a crowd dumbing effect. Since hundreds of engineers sharing the mono-repo, no one can or care to make the decision or is able to push the decision for alternate. Even when every one is complaining, it is still far from every one agreeing on the alternate. Crowd settle at the lowest denominator.
Your first and second paragraphs support opposite conclusions. Accountability to voters ie political influence is exactly what would make them diverge from responsible financial engineering. 2018-2019 was the perfect time to raise rates and shrink the Fed’s balance sheet, but they didn’t, because Trump threatened them and banks whined too hard.

The master's is in CS, and most of the content I have covered is in ML. In theory it already has helped because it opened doors to multiple FAANG companies for interviews, some of which I regretfully closed on my own.

I don't think I am doing too much. It's burnout due to lack of executive function exacerbated by lack of proper structure.

As we speak I am on [retracted]. I have covered a non trivial portion of the content and made certain things just click.

I think that the lack of proper executive functions along with a very problematic default mode network resulted in a situation where it is very difficult to help myself.

2FA. After reading Terrence Eden’s hypothetical post about being locked out of everything after a lightning strike I reconsidered a lot of my security practices.

We’re lost in a recursive 2FA hell. I have various strategies for this but I can’t publicly state them here but I am fairly certain I can bootstrap myself back into my digital life in the worst case.
