There's robust disagreement among reasonable people about whether single-payer health care is a good idea in the US or not. The comment you were responding to wasn't overtly advocating for it. There's less reasonable support for acalculiac xenophobia.

That popular revolutions rarely work in this day and age, especially when the majority of the participants don't know how to wield a gun?
In the Colonial Era, every able-bodied New England male knew how to at least, hunt and shoot. Every successful "revolution" in the modern era has depended on whose side the Army was on. Why? Because the Army is composed of people who's sole purpose is to get good at using guns.
"What has hindered GIMP from mainstream adaptation is its clunky UI,"

I agree totally, in many places GIMP's UI is both counterintuitive and clumsy but that's not the only reason in that there are significant performance issues. For one, unlike Photoshop, GIMP 'dribbles' its screen refresh rate which is most distracting and annoying.

If the developers found they couldn't easily increase the screen refresh speed after some adjustment then why didn't they delay its updating until the computation had finished (the 'dribbling' being more objectionable than a delay)?

I don't have the time or inclination to become familiar with the huge job of understanding GIMP's source so I've often wondered why its screen refreshing is significantly worse than PS. From observation, PS cleverly only updates the relevant (viewable) changes rather than the full 'effective' screen at any given point in time so changes appear almost instantly. This problem and the UI one put GIMP out of the running as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, re your last paragraph, note my comment about ergonomics in my comment to southerntofu.
SpaceX Says 5G Interference Could Make Starlink Internet 'Unusable'
Definitely this. I ran into this at a previous company (Python environment) where every test basically relied on mucking around with the internals through patches. Any sort of integration test that relied on calling an internal service was difficult or impossible, so it had to be mocked. External services were always mocked. The code base was a pain to work with.

At at an earlier company, we had very little patching or mocking. We spun up all the internal services when running the tests. Internal calls were never mocked. External calls were sometimes mocked (if test accounts / API keys were not convenient.) We preferred testing the "real thing." Tests ran slower but in general I had much more confidence tests actually did something useful.
This. Getting a good appreciation for infra is key.
Your scenario sounds sketchy - you typically only need share info in order to transfer money and handle transactions like this once. You do it at the closing which is typically held at a title company's office, and handle it all at once with everyone present, including notaries. Even when done remotely, the title company handles it. While there is certainly much room for improving how real estate transactions work, the closing and the title company is not the place to ad-lib some new solution.

In general, that carries to other types of secure transactions as well - we have systems in place that handle the trust concerns. Use them, don't re-invent the wheel.
I think the less you try to make sense of it the better of you'll be, because they have no damn clue what they are doing.

I think this precipitated from decisions made at juul before Altria bought in. Looking at their stock price today ($MO), I highly doubt this was intentional.
You can also look at how closely it maintains the peg, and whether it’s at a premium as much as it’s at a discount. (By which Tether does poorly.)

It’s misleading to look at the market cap with the implication that it’s fluctuations are due to loss of value per unit (the usual cause for non-stablecoins).

You might as well say that your bank lost $500 when you made a $500 withdrawal (while neglecting to mention the deletion of $500 in liabilities).

There are infinite ways to "spin" inaction as cautious analysis or being conservative. It's much more difficult to spin an intentional decision that you are accountable for that went wrong. The higher up you go, the higher the cost of a bad decision becomes, while the value of a correct decision doesn't really increase that much compared to someone lower down making the same call successfully. Basically, you're expected to make the right call more often than not when you are higher up. Amazon literally has a thing in their leadership principles about how good leaders are just "right" more often than bad leaders. All of these incentives lead to many, many situations where it is not in any one executive's best interest to make a decision to move forward on something. So they all just sit on it.

> AFAIK, no EU country will issue a proper ID card (valid throughout the EU) to non-citizens. In Spain at least you get a special foreigners' ID card that's more or less equal within Spain. In Germany the most you can hope for is your residence permit in card form, but I was not so lucky.

One of the first things I had to do upon arrival in Sweden was go to Migrationsverket to get my "Uppe­hålls­till­stånds­kort": a residence card. It has your residence status on it. I also had to get a Skatteverket "Identitetskort". Both of these have been accepted as valid identification documents both within and outside of Sweden, I've had to provide scans of one or the other numerous times.

I can definitely see how there could be some overlap, although I've never actually had nicotine sober. Still, seems hard to believe it could be as effective for significant ADHD considering the standard suite of amphetamines is a bazooka by comparison.

Still, the symptoms that get grouped together as ADHD are so diverse that I could see it helping people. Biggest issue is probably relative addictiveness, since after 15 years of adderall use I feel absolutely no desire to take it on weekends or vacation, and that's probably not totally the same for nicotine.
It's true, but all these alternative reasons would be non starters if the approach didn't work for lazy farming. The core reason to do permaculture is that your food (and other resources) produce themselves. These other reasons may be primary motivators for some people to do permaculture, but without that core benefit nobody could do it even if they wanted to and have a viable farm.
Well, it's not purely functional code. It calls malloc and free. And if you want a multithreaded malloc, you're going to need per thread state.
You can always ask for a zoom call with photo ID and/or other documents. Another way is you contact them using the official info on the license (like registered mail).
Is the similarity to "google" intentional?
They will probably make Notes seamless and cool inside the twitter app and external links slow and clumsy.
It’s funny to compare results. I’ve acclimatised to scrolling down half the Google results page to bypass all that crap I’m served.
Google said in their last Zeitgeist (2012) that they served 1.2 trillion search queries that year, and in the same year they reported $30 billion revenue from their own sites. In 2021 they reported $150 billion in "Search & other" revenue which is categorically similar. In real dollars that's a quadrupling of traffic, so you can conclude they might have served 4-5 trillion queries in 2021.
Pricing-wise, I'd say our all-in fees on a per dev basis are comparable to a developer's salary here in the US, but our fees are inclusive of benefits, tech, offices, etc... and the US salary is not.

so... don't get rid of search engine filter "bubbles" that turn the web into an echo chamber, let the people build their own echo chambers?

I mean, its at least transparent, people are aware of it or have to opt in.

It feels like a weird compromise in terms of misinformation, cultural division, etc... but letting people choose which kool-aid they're drinking instead of letting the "totally not hand tweaked for edge cases in favor of the creator of "the algorithm"" to decide. Out of the handful of "ideas" around wrangling the the trashfire that is the modern internet, this seems like the most sane the best fit solution so far.

In terms of it being an actual search tool for finding information, answers, documentation, references that are actually relevant or useful it sounds insanely useful.

Narrow down searches for anything + "datasheet" to manufacturer websites and a handful of non paywalled datasheet catalogs - fuck yeah!

I forsee lots of angry website owners who run fluff content or bury reposted useful info under mile thick layers of ads.
That's not true. The median annual pay for a software engineer in the US is a bit under $100k. (The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes good data on this.) That means most people doing software development in the US are making under $100k.

Almost anybody doing software development at a well-funded tech company is going to be making over $120k/yr, yes. But it turns out there are lots of other kinds of programming jobs, too.

Also a ripe opportunity for Google's lawyers to go after them as it creates confusion in the marketplace. Or maybe a marketing opportunity for them, if they play the David vs. Goliath card, should Google come after them.
You can't argue with demographics because, outside of immigration, it is physically impossible to change them in the short term.

Even if e.g. Korea somehow managed to get a fertility rate of 10 tomorrow, it would takes many decades for that generation to begin to contribute to the economy as a class of high-skilled laborers. No matter what Korea does, absent implausible levels of immigration, they are still set for future economic hardship due to their demographics.
The original poster I'm commenting about says:

"Success, even if you have a leg up or game the system, does require a lot of effort and sacrifice, but I think if we had more integrity around the other pieces of the puzzle, it would drastically change how we view success in this country."

and this is huge. As a software dev I don't work nearly as hard as I did when I was a cook, but I know which one I'm far more successful at, and I know that there was no way my work as a cook would have put me into upper-middle class territory, even though I spent 6 days a week sweating.

Idea is good however implementation is horrible specially on desktop web. The narrow width of the content makes it hard to read, not to mention all the distractions on left and right side of the page. They should make the notes full screen without distractions if they want people to read them.
I am not sure where I argued that privacy is more important than health. I am saying call it what it is. You are arguing privacy is worth trading for health. I actually agree with that. I dont agree with claims that what google is doing is preserving privacy.

My beliefs are quite the opposite of what you implied about me. I think we should move away from all this embedded bullshit and keep peoples identities intact because the generalizations will never be perfect and it might be useful to know who the actual people are that those generalizations are based on. Maybe that would facilitate human connections. Maybe that would make it easier to reward individuals for sacrificing their privacy in order to improve healthcare. Instead of just pretending they arent sacrificing privacy and are just a drop in the ocean of data providing results.

You are not a drop in the data ocean. Your data is important. There are not a lot of people like you. Google emphasizes generalization because it cheapens the value of your individual data point. Their policy creates an illusion I aim to dismantle.

Also, I do have chronic illness but that is not relevant here. Mine does not directly cause pain, though, full disclosure

> sufficient protein for most people

Your own sources admit uncertainty around adequate intake, and even then, that's just for most people. Most people aren't actively trying to build muscle, or actively trying to lose weight. Ignore the studies demonstrating the benefits of high (upto 2g./kg., or a roughly 1g./lb.) protein diets on body composition at your own peril.
I'm no stranger to Node.js, but everytime I want to start a project with it, I need to setup package.json, install TypeScript, Ava/Jest/Mocha or what have you, a bundle tool like rebuild, and then I can start writing code. If I want to watch it, I need to install another dev dependency.

And if I want to write a web server, well, time to find out what the trendy web server these days, and which router to use.

Whereas I can just create a main.ts file, `deno run/test -A --watch main.ts` and start importing the server from std.

China's Navy is now bigger than the US Navy. Few have noticed.

China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, was launched last week. This is the lead ship of a new carrier class. Carrier #4 is said to be under construction at Dalian. (There's so much shipbuilding in China that it's hard to tell if a new hull is a warship or just another giant container ship.)

These are not nuclear powered. That's expected with the next class of carrier.

>Another example is a breathless media article “Children Exposed to Nicotine in Utero Have Lower Reading Scores” on Cho et al 2012: here we can’t blame the media or Wikipedia editors because the paper itself (a longitudinal correlational study) has “nicotine” in its title and abstract (a total of 8 times), though the abstract quietly mentions it is actually a study of “maternal smoking”
I think it's likelier that your first four quoted lines would have been compressed into a single tweet, including an image, followed by the second one.
But handles have value. It's why Hacker News has handles. So we can attach comments to them.

If four people say "I love Brave! It's awesome", and those four people are:

1. A new user just registered today

2. A long-time user who mostly talks about the Linux kernel and SQL optimizations

3. A long-time user who mostly talks about privacy and the search engine market

4. A long-time user who mostly talks about crypto

then that's four very different comments.
Same here. Safari is my preferred browser for content consumption but not for development work
>Every change would inevitably break tests (not functionality!) and developers were spending more than half their time wrestling with the test suite.

I find that this invariably happens because the team tries to test implementation at a very low level rather than behavior at a high level.

I blame an overemphasis on unit tests over integration testing (e.g. J B Rainsberger's inane rant) and tutorials that imply that, for example, if you build a class you have to have some tests for that class.
Congrats to the Brave team on building a great product I hope there is a sustainable business model behind it.

It's impossible to consider Bitcoin without considering lightning. Two sides of the same coin. It's still early in its adoption curve for sure, but it has been gaining traction.

- Twitter uses lightning for its tipping mechanism

- The Podcasting 2.0 standard is all lightning based

- NCR is integrating lightning

- Blackhawk is integrating lightning

- Kraken has enabled lightning

- Robinhood is integrating lightning

- Square/block is investing heavily into lightning development and enablement

I'm probably missing some big ones...
Vulns exist in Java applications. Logic bugs can open all sorts of doors to exploitation. But empirically we observe that a huge portion of real vulnerabilities in applications written in C or C++ are memory errors. We've spent decades trying to get people to write C and C++ applications without these errors and utterly failed.

A browser written in a memory safe language won't be free from vulns but it will be free from a huge class of recurring and very serious vulns.
Solar and wind are just fine as generation sources, provided that you consider solar / wind + storage as the whole generation system and base your arguments and costs on that number. When you consider both together solar and wind are pretty expensive but have nice properties as far as carbon generation. Solar and wind by themselves are somewhere between mildly useful and actively very bad in terms of grid stability.
That depends where. Here in the UK, cigarettes cannot be marketed at all. To kids or adults. That seems like a sensible middle ground to me. Allow the product to be sold, but don't allow advertising that pushes people into buying it.

I feel like abstinence campaigns work somewhat better with cigarettes than sex/alcohol because cigarettes are legitimately bad for you, and many users of cigarettes genuinely regret taking up smoking (whereas barely anyone will tell you they regret drinking or having sex).
The Original Twitter Sketch
Honestly probably too little too late. How they didn't try to have a long form product to compete with Substack (especially) and Medium is astonishing. I've long held that Twitter engineers, etc seem disconnected from their own user base.
Sure, because we're not a consulting agency, Astro is designed for teams that know finding good talent wherever they are located is a real risk to growth. Typically these kinds of companies are true technology companies and know the value of good people, so they often pay above market rates whenever they find the right person.

These kinds of companies don't typically use Thoughworks to develop their own product, but are willing to accept international logistical help to find and manage their own teammates.
I remember my first purchase of e-cigarettes online involved a picture of my id and a selfie to confirm my ID. I remember I thought it was great that developers were quickly able to spin up a solution. So it was a shock to hear they were banning online sales outright.
> Given how important EDA is to chip design you'd think there'd be more openness to innovation.

Hypothesis: the importance of EDA to chip design makes it change-averse.

I once had to chase down a delta between two triangle mesh files that resulted from two different builds of the same compiler, running on two slightly different hardware configurations, compiling the same source into different floating-point code that calculated a result of -0 instead of 0, which resulted in a no-difference rotation on the indices of every vertex on every triangle in the entire file.

Given that it's basically impossible to mathematically validate C++ code, if any change could cause a difference in output in a million-transistor layout, how would an engineer confirm that difference didn't matter? That kind of problem drives the cost way up for changes to the codebase.
