My only anecdotal datum here is that I just got a new job, and every day I'm getting multiple messages from recruiters looking for developers. Full Time and Contracting.

If it's all gone to shit, I'm not seeing it here (Scotland), salaries I'm seeing are really good for the area too.
The ins and outs of version control solves a problem that has not yet existed for an intern. It’s not that big a deal to train them on the job, industry practices probably don’t map well to academic settings anyhow.

Not to mention that git is plagued with, as a general rule, utterly confusing defaults for a newbie (and for me, when setting up a machine without my config files!)
Senate rules. Having a simple majority in the Senate doesn't mean you can ram-rod through your agenda. You need 60 votes for legislation to reach the floor for and up and down vote. The Democrats theoretically have 51 (including Kamala!), and a couple of them haven't been too reliable. So no, the Democrats can't do "anything they want."

They could end the filibuster - but that would likely backfire. End the filibuster now right before Summer recess and the Fall election cycle where not much gets done? Probably not a wise move, especially if the Republicans regain control of the senate and now you've just handed them the reigns of unbridled power. Probably not a good move. That's why the filibuster stays.

Our problem really isn't so much that our Congress is deadlocked. Heck, I argue that deadlock is actually a preferable state. Otherwise these bozos would be sowing chaos on a daily basis. The game that's changed is using procedural rules to steal supreme court justice nominations from one president and giving them to another. Trump seized that opportunity and to maximize his legacy and influence chose the youngest and most controversial judges he could get through the nominations.

I know many liberals who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I tried to explain to them, to no avail, what would happen with regards to the Supreme Court should Trump win. I was pooh-poohed. Repeatedly told I was over-sensationalizing things. I've since received apologies from many of them but who cares? The damage has been done and will continue for much of the remainder of our lives.

There is a way out of this mess, but right now America is too polarized for that solution to be viable. Supreme Court justices can be impeached and removed from the bench - it's even been done before. But you need 2/3 of the Senate onboard to do it. I don't realistically see that happening any time for the next 20 years, if ever, and by then the damage wrought will be so severe that I'm afraid America will be unrecognizable.

Bottom line - America was already in decline. This Supreme Court is just going to accelerate that decline. If anything they might jolt Democrats out of their complacency and turning their noses up at any candidate they don't think is absolutely perfect. Who knows? Maybe something good will come out of this after all.
What would be the purpose of such a site, from the users' point of view?

It sounds like the user experience is: I sign up, and "connect" with people whose email addresses I had already. Now what? What actually happens on the site? Why am I not just using email to talk to those people?
Not really true. The Apple Watch series 3 was released 2017, so it got 4.5 - 5 years of support. I don't think that is bad. It will still work, it will just not get any more OS updates.

I sport an iPhone 6s. I guess it is unsupported from this year, but I have owned it since the December after it was launched. So it was supported for circa 6 years, give or take a few months. That was absolutely the longest any Apple iPhone was ever supported. Most get less (I want to say up to 4 years, but I have no actual figures to hand.) I'm not unhappy with the length it was supported to be honest. My previous phone was a Nexus 4 and that got way less, I don't think it was more then 3.

The length the Apple Watch series 3 was supported it perfectly acceptable, and I bet few bough outside of the last 2 years still have great battery life anyway.
I don't think a private company choosing what they host on their platform is total unchallenged censorship. With such a vast gap in understanding of terms I don't think discussion will get us anywhere.

It's because V made impossible promises, and used those to get donations.

For example from wayback machine http://web.archive.org/web/20190520021931/https://vlang.io/d...: "(Work in progress) There's no garbage collection or reference counting. V cleans everything up during compilation. If your V program compiles, it's guaranteed that it's going to be leak free."

When people called him out for this saying that this was impossible he doubled down on it and said that it's fine to say things like that because of the "work in progress", as if it was coming.

It turns out, it was impossible. V eventually had to add reference counting.

The worst part is that he used lies like this to get thousands of dollars from Patreon sponsors.

It seems like he's trying to clean up his act, but he's still making some dubious claims. He claims to have invented an "innovative and flexible memory management" reference counting algorithm that removes 80-90% of overhead. But there's no way to do that with mutable data, as far as i know. And sure enough, it doesn't work, users are still told to use the garbage collection option. If that turns out to be true, I might change my mind, but I fully expect that it's a false promise too.
There's nothing wrong with reference counting. Manual reference counting using a technique like pointers into a generational array is fine. When the reference count goes to 0, release the generational memory. Any dangling pointers can handle the null value returned when trying to read the generational memory. That's a totally fine solution to reference counting.

My issue is with automatic reference counting. It's just way too easy to hold on to a reference accidentally, especially now that lambdas / closures are an essential language feature. I don't have much Swift experience, but I do have a lot of Objective-C experience, and it's just way too easy to accidentally capture self or some other value. In game programming, there is very little concept of ownership. Everything exists as peers that can modify each other. This leads to a high likelihood of reference cycles.

We raised our kids in a large city in America. Perhaps we just bypassed this trend but we totally let our kids play outside unsupervised. We set boundaries and taught them the necessary skills to do so safely but then we let the go and play. And we lived on a pretty busy street. There are age considerations of course and we had a large family for the time (5 kids) so there was a wide range of ages with the elder kids watching the younger ones.

Maye we are just outliers but I don't think the reason is necessarily cars.
I was that 12-year-old. My brain still works this way when tackling novel problems.

If I may suggest, instead of reprimands (I'd imagine your kid knows they'd messed up and won't try this experiment again), use these situations to teach your child about forming hypotheses, questioning assumptions and doing reality checks before starting an experiment.
Gentrification and redevelopment has winners and losers. But I'm not sure the answer is to just let low income, rundown neighborhoods rot instead.

Nobody's "forgetting" anything - it's simply that the US doesn't have any programs that are remotely comparable to those of Russia or China. For instance, show me the US federal law that requires that companies to provide them with constant unencrypted access to all users' data (and forbid E2E), without a warrant, and to provide real-time monitoring and censorship of all communication data.

Comparing metadata collection to legally mandated decryption, storage, monitoring, and censorship of all user data and metadata is insane.
Much of this seems to be a complete miscalculation of the “new normal” of the pandemic. There was a narrative that somehow all the wild growth we had seen in the pandemic years when everyone was forcibly locked at home would sustain forever.

Of course that wasn’t going to happen and should have been obvious to anyone. The pandemic is over and the “new normal” has just gone back to the “old normal” with marginal changes in work/play patterns.

This was always going to happen, with or without current rate hikes. The rate hikes just accelerated everything by 2 years.

Ah that's fair - I am not a fan of how manufacturers have removed aux ports on phones for exactly this reason. A phone without an aux port is a dealbreaker for me (currently looking for a phone to replace my 4 year old galaxy a8, it's tough to find one as good!)

Reversions of decisions taken decades ago by the same court. Maintaining them isn't "progressive", it's "conservative" by the definitions of those two words. Overturning them is regressive, downright reactionary.
I didn’t say anything about banning any content whatsoever. The argument is whether social media platforms should be held accountable to the point where human moderation is necessary.

To that I say yes.

Human beings function best in small communities where light moderation, strong norms, and reputation are allowed to develop. These social media giants are trying to replace what has worked for millennia with unaccountable, automated, authoritarian systems. Is it any wonder that pathological behaviour would predominate?

> Lockheed is in charge of development, just like the SLS program

Lockheed tried to buy Aerojet Rocketdyne a couple years ago, the maker of the Shuttle's RS-25 engines, which are being re-used on SLS, but abandoned the acquisition. Boeing is the lead contractor for the launch vehicle.

Anything "crowdsourced" can and will be gamed by spammers. Such tags would become useless very quickly without traditional moderation.

I'm in the US. It is really hard to see clever people around me using their almost pure THC at high doses. I can clearly see the negative impact coming much faster than people I know that smoked lots of lower concentration for decades. I see them having all kind of functional issues (memory, motivation, crippling anxiety when not high). And there is no way to talk to them about these negative effects. Mainly because they have been deeply brainwashed to believe that the overall effect is always positive and that all criticisms are a conspiracy by people with war on drugs level agendas.

As much as I tend to believe that low amounts can have benefits, both functional and social, what I see from this trend of heavy use of high potency material is clearly not going that way.

My wife thinks it is weird that I watch so much YouTube, because when she goes to YouTube (not signed in), she is inundated with so many spammy/scammy videos. I told her it has taken me almost 15 years to curate the feed I have. And some days I have no new videos I want to watch, so I rewatch old ones.
With a dislike counter at least that could signal something is amiss with these videos, but now you just see thumbs up everythings cool guys and the comments can be moderated by the uploader to remove anything negative.

Still don't understand why they removed it.
So your argument is that companies and people should not follow the law or do what’s right because people can circumvent their efforts?!

Crypto got wiped out but a BTC is still hovering around 20k?

> now the tech and real estate bubbles are popping

I sincerely doubt it, things might slow down and plateau but with the cost of everything going up (including rent) people will still desire a home with a mostly fixed cost. We also haven’t seen any massive layoffs yet coming from tech companies.

Also if home prices plateau and inflation rips the value of those homes are deprecating without price reductions.
The article notes that while massive development happened in Stratford, it was going to happen anyway even without the Olympics, and argues that the development would been much better and more human scale – better quality and more affordable housing, less oversized roads, etc.

So it doesn't seem at all silly to criticise the Olympics for degrading an already-existing development plan.
Could this be a browser plugin? No idea how "invasive" a plugin can be, but ad-blockers and privacy plugins seem to be able to change a lot on webpages (including blocking ad videos on Youtube).

So theoretically it seems possible to build a plugin that moderates comments on web pages ... "No one expects things to be perfect" ... so it does not hurt to try?

I just don't see how there isn't a manual solution that could solve this. I get it, its way easier in the future if the computer can do the work for you, but it seems highly unlikely that the number of channels/users being created daily with "problematic" characters in their names is not within the realm of "manually reviewable".
An analogy: while technically what kills you due to a fall is called “gravity”, that’s not the whole picture. In actuality, it’s the height you fall from, which allows gravity to build up enough velocity to kill you when the fall ends.

Despite the fact that you’re experiencing the same gravitational acceleration from both, a one meter fall, while being potentially dangerous if you’re not prepared and allowed to land right, is not likely to kill you. A 100 meter fall, on the other hand, is likely not survivable by any means.

Decino is amazingly prolific. I'm not sure I know of another creator that has the depth and breadth into a specific category of gameplay as him. Over the pandemic there were some creators that started going deep into playing various Super Mario spins, but Decino is almost on anther level. He has been churning out Doom play throughs regularly for the last 3 years, and he really goes into the theory and code of how Doom works in his yellow background videos. Very impressive YouTube channel.
No, hypersonics would be too fast and have too low of a flight profile for our early warning systems to work. Our second strike facilities would be destroyed before they could launch a counter-attack.

Game theory-wise, the winner would be whoever struck first, since they would get to use their full arsenal. Retaliation could only be done reliably with submarines. That's what frightens me the most about hypersonic development. Whoever cracks the secret and can field the most will potentially upend MAD.
You solicited advice so here it is, and I am going to be blunt.

If you don’t want to go find a job and do this as a side hustle (which is the best advice) in my opinion you will need to do the following immediately just to start attracting folks organically.

- Stop doing all product dev except bug fixes until you truly understand the product and features your users want. Think of what you have as being at the MVP stage. If you have additional ideas or features, just backlog them for now and come back to them if the product/company survives the next 3-6 months. There is no feature you can add that will rescue the company at this stage. Right now your only hope is that marketing can attract users, and the product is good enough to keep them.

- fix the website: it’s not responsive, and not at all compelling to your product. The design is amateurish and dated. Get a designer to help, you need it.

- Engage an “English as a first language” copywriter to fix all the copy on the site. When I read your site it comes off as “Let me write sign, I speak English good”. Poor copywriting like you have will literally exclude US users from using your product. It comes off as untrustworthy.

- Understand your users. It seems to focus on all the wrong things. LaTeX, Markdown…developers might care about that, but it looks like your appeal is to med students. Latex means something completely different to a med student. If your app has specific benefit to med students or law students, set up specific landing pages optimized for those two user bases that market to them to compel a download. Why do they need to use your product? How will it make their lives easier? Target the 2-3 most likely groups that will use the product as is, and target all marketing to them. You can always expand to their user types later.

- it seems your app is really more a flash card generator/guided studying utility than a note taking system. You should probably play up this feature and do specific marketing around it. More flash card and learning copy and less note-taking copy for SEO. For me, compared to a pure note taking app like GoodNotes or Apple Notes, your UX looks too complex. Perhaps it needs this complexity for the learning system you have created. So if your current marketing is centered around attracting folks looking for note taking apps I think you will turn people off.

- might just be me, but I have literally never needed a statistical dashboard for a note taking app. I found that very strange that is was featured so prominently. I don’t understand how this is important, and your site doesn’t really tell me why I need it.

Also, what is your plan to actually make this a revenue generator? If you are having difficulties getting an excited user base offering something for free…how do you plan on monetizing it? I get that this is a pet project, but does it have legs? Might have value to starving college students, but would they pay for it? I question that. You should too. If you don’t have a specific endgame in mind for it i.e. “I am going to sell this to Blackboard for $5M.”, you just have a hobby that is making you poor.
Not to be a luddite, but a ton of tech ventures now straddle the edge of value addition to society. Value might be subjective, but its hard to see how a NFT marketplace is as valuable to society as, say, a tractor factory or steel plant.
I don't think anyone had doubts about 1GB of storage being technically possible in 2004, the suprise was that they were offering 1GB of email storage for free. 1GB of storage was approx. $1 at the time Gmail was first offered.

Whereas I'm sceptical of the technical/practical feasibility here - more like if someone came along and told me they were going to bring consumer-grade jetpacks to the market that people could use for their daily commute I would be sceptical that they could bring that to market successfully for a variety of reasons other than price/commercials (e.g. safety). This is before we even start talking about getting FDA approval for sticking all this stuff into a contact lens (so they will need to presumably prove it doesn't increase the chance of conjunctivitis, corneal abrasions, and eye irritation). IMO it's quite clear from looking at the existing version that it would cause eye irritation - there is a big block sticking out the front.
