The availability of fun and weird has redefined both fun and weird.

What's relatively tame and normal by today's standards would have been groundbreaking only a few years ago.

Desensitisation is the issue, not a dearth of fun and weird.

A guilty pleasure of mine are some of those klrdubs YouTube videos. My daughter launches a series of them at me every now and then, and whilst many of them are so-so, a few of them are absolutely spot-on genius. Fun, clever, and weird.

Maybe accessibility contributes towards this desensitisation too? At any time that level of genius is at our fingertips. We're spoilt by the accessibility of the top 0.01% creative talents of humanity.

Maybe we also actively avoid some of the fun and weird because we know we'll get caught in a productivity destroying rabbit hole of fun and weirdness?
Among the best ways to get less of socially corrosive activities, services, or product is high taxation.

Until the early 19th century, advertising was subjected to high taxation rates within the UK. I've come to think that returning to such a practice, with specific carve-outs for specific areas of actual social benefit, might be a very good idea.

Glance, I suspect, would have a differing opinion. That's the parasite's prerogative.
Just a counterpoint to the comments who talk positively about the COBOL idea:

When it comes to COBOL, the main problem isn't actually the programming language itself, it's everything else around it. Most companies who need COBOL have a horrible tech culture & situation and are stuck with a pile of shitty, undocumented COBOL dating back decades.

If you're going to be doing COBOL, your problem won't be COBOL, it will be the archeology that you will have to do to reverse-engineer the existing system, the pressure you'll be under to deliver something fast under those constraints and the blame you'll take when it inevitably explodes (forget about CI/testing or a staging environment).

COBOL is not just a programming language but an entire ecosystem completely different from mainstream computing. Forget SQL DBs, forget UNIX terminals - you'll need to learn how to use & develop for mainframes - it's a closed ecosystem guarded by IBM which means there aren't many free resources available to learn from or get help, and it is so different that the skills you'll learn won't be transferrable to modern, non-mainframe development.

Furthermore, all of the above doesn't actually pay that well. I'm sure you've heard all the media attention about COBOL and how systems are failing all over the place because there are no developers to maintain them - well that's a lie, the problem isn't that there are no developers to maintain them, it's that there are no developers to maintain them at the price the company is willing to pay.

Finally, COBOL is mostly still used by governments or large companies which would be very hard to get into due to your origin.
I would ignore the tech stack.

Look at the quality of the people and your place among them. An increase in responsibility is a step up, but moving to a stronger team might be even more so.

At the end it asks whether you want to send your scores so they can adjust their metrics for who's normal. The models themselves are pretrained by third-parties so it's just comparing scores.
Happened to me as well. Now the FBI has my fingerprints on file even though I've never committed a crime.

I had a discussion with my Mom a couple years about this and she admitted she screwed up. I can't blame her of course. Especially since at the time there was plenty of FBI propoganda about missing kids terrifying parents and claiming this was a solution.

Indeed, and that's why staying behind is always an option. Driving is an activity governed by a set of regulations, but common sense is the glue that ties everything together. This includes when to bend or break rules.

I'd interested to learn more about this opportunity..do you have an email contact to discuss?

Thanks.
That Perl reference was new to me. Very interesting. Never localized my Perl programs back in the day. But of course I should not be surprised that Perl had a solution to any given problem 20+ years ago ...

I like Fluent. It's just that ... when all the power of modern JavaScript/TypeScript (template literals/JSX/validation/custom functions) and code editors (syntax highlighting/JSDoc/references/usages) are already in place, why not use it instead of introducing a whole new layer of tooling?
> I remember explicitly telling my Berliner friend that hipster had a negative connotation where I came from.

The joke really writes itself :D

But I’ll also allow that this might be one of the occasions where I’m too out of touch with German culture, it’s not as if I talk about hipsters with my German friends ;)

> Also I saw an ad in Dutch "hipster" where it meant panties or women's underwear?

Being close but slightly off is a negative for MacOS imo.

The hardware is for sure the best though. I'd run windows/WSL on one of these if I could

You’re taking about the entry-level consumer notebook model.

For entry-level consumers, they don’t need extra storage. So many kids are online-based nowadays. Younger people are routinely using iCloud/One Drive/Google Drive/Box/Dropbox and other services.

But sure, if you’re working with more and larger files, then you aren’t the target for the entry-level model with 256, and spend extra for more storage.
These are not ram sticks, these are difference in the M2 chip itself. I'm not a chip designer, but I imagine there are more manufacturing quality challenges with the ones that have more RAM.

> Christmas trees are reglious symbols, sure there is some "history and culture" there there

We had a Christmas tree every year growing up in America as immigrants from a Muslim country. When I visit Tokyo in December, which is in a non-Christian country, there are Christmas trees in all the malls. Christmas trees are the archetypal examples of religious symbols that have turned into cultural symbols.

> there is also "history and culture" in Confederate monuments and places named after them.

Please, lean into this.
Last time I checked, Synapse was the only usable homeserver implementation. Has this changed yet? It's not that big of an issue, but it doesn't seem much of an open protocol if everyone is just running the same implementation.

> If you want to eventually leverage SIMD and GPGPU computation C++ is almost mandatory, languages like Rust/Nim/Zig are getting there but still behind in many areas.

Is this mostly about GPGPU? I think you can just import and use SIMD intrinsics in Rust. Zig lets you do that and additionally features native vector types whose operations generate the appropriate SIMD instructions.

There's nothing like Highway yet, but for many use cases it seems like a lot more trouble to use Highway than to write several implementations that use intrinsics directly.
They are a precondition for what is happening. I'm not arguing it's a 1:1 ratio of guns to mass shootings.

Maybe if we were overwhelmed by all the bad things that we should be doing something about it would eventually lead us to a point where we would be doing something instead of just living our lives doing nothing (for the most part)?

How does the notch deal with programs with enough menus to hit that midpoint? Which includes the one I do pretty much all my paying work in. Or people who have enough stuff squatting in the right side of the menu bar to cross the midpoint from the other direction. Which is also me when I'm not hiding most of them with Bartender. So many things just want to plop an icon up there.

I guess I'll find out soon, because one of these M2 Airs will be replacing the 2016 Pro I've been using as soon as I scrape the funds together.

PHP won't be going away for a long time either, and the gamut of jobs available is fairly wide. You'll never go hungry waiting for a gig if you're a freelancer, and if you're a talented developer there is an upper spectrum of complex projects that pay well.

Talented software developers are in high demand for PHP. It's used to build some very competent and complex applications and platforms, but not every PHP developer can work on those effectively, so clients are willing to pay well once they find someone who can work on those.

There's a difference between "not owing taxes" and "not having taxable income".

Perhaps. But what action(s) are optimal? Are the top 5 most optimal actions contained within Doctorow's essay?

I wonder: what does "Let's roll" resolve to?

Not buying it. That would only work if it were firmer because as it is now I'm extremely doubtful your teeth will magically fall into those grooves when the sponge has so little structure. On top of that it seems hard to clean, A toothbrush is open and has short bristles and often after rinsing it I'll look and still find debris where I need to clean again and deliberately get pieces out.
Gridlock/separation of powers has its upsides but it also has a big downside: lack of agency can mean lack of responsibility. "Oh sorry I can't do anything to fix this mess unless Congress acts" "well we in Congress passed a law but the administration is refusing to implement it properly" "it's the fault of the states" "blame the Feds" "the Supreme Court has tied our hands" etc. In an autocracy, the autocrat ideally has nobody to foist blame onto. (In practice they often blame imaginary bogeymen or minority groups)
And like every where, if something threatens the perceived superiority of a well established, powerful group that group will do everything to fight. Regardless of religion.

And I strongly, strongly disagree with the man. I don't know who makes the logical conclusion of "hm, let's allow the government to permit an entity to obtain adequate arms and ammunition for the purpose of overthrowing the government."

Sounds highly illogical to me. That totally won't ever be abused, like every vague law is, by every political party ever.
Funny to see this pop up, it's from 2008. I worked with Martin for quite a few years and we spoke about this article at one point. If I recall, the intended audience of this article is primarily incoming graduate students.The point being that the experience of doing research is very different from taking classes. It is not uncommon to see those who excelled in their undergraduate studies go on to graduate school and be dismayed to find that a PhD program uses a different skill set from getting good grades.
The Supreme Court is not making laws, it's dismantling them. Those issues shall return to the legislature, where they belong.

Should note, as I understand it, a great portion of the US model of law is based on "Common Law", mostly made up of case law, and adopting some coded law. Case law is debated by lawyers and ruled on by a judge. Case law has the benefit of having legal experts examine particular situations and make arguments for/against an outcome. Coded law written by elected legislatures has difficult time anticipating edge cases, but is perceived as being more democratic.

Regarding your anxiety about systemic stability: take a news break. I get worried about our situation too, but there's not much I can do about the big picture, just take care of my little part. The news is pretty intense, even my 8 year old child asks about some of the situations they're describing with worry. Kind of sad if you think about it, grown ups trying to keep their jobs in a changing media landscape, as a side effect they're scaring our kids.
I disagree.

The Wordpress field is saturated which means making a living wage is difficult. Even if you hit the lottery and release a popular paid plugin, it won't be sustainable in the long run.

Furthermore, Wordpress is unlikely to teach you modern development practices and even if you learn them by yourself you'll be hamstrung by the near-impossibility to apply them to that field.

PHP is fine (it's actually quite pleasant with modern frameworks), Wordpress is not.
How do I know it's possible? Because it's decided by people. People are sensitive for these kinds of things. What I meant with assessment in this case is that I cannot judge whether this is happened in this specific case. As in I don't know enough about mathematics to make an assessment. Not I don't know enough about committees to say it's possible or not. I thought that would be clear from the post but I can see how you misunderstood it.

Totally agree there's too little innovation in this field.

I hadn't heard of the Buzz Brush and it's fascinating to me, although it does look half-baked and too indie at the moment for me to trust it with my dental health.

Also it's too expensive to try as a throwaway test.

Any other cool innovative products that replace standard brushing?

I got bonded (Police background checks with fingerprinting etc) for a job which had a large cash handling component. dealing with > 100K in twenties and fifties in a Casino. My prints were kept for elimination after the process, but the police were very eager to inform me that they don't get kept past two years.

The police had petitioned the government under the guise of privacy laws to make sure they had to throw away the records. Which seems counter intuitive until you realize it'd require me to go through the same process again at a later date.

Like most people who assume the federal government is omnipotent, you greatly underestimate the sheer size of the country and just how many soldiers (and ammunition, equipment, and, most importantly, fuel) it would take to control all of it. It's impossible, and it's not even close. The most an authoritarian dictator could hope for is to control a few major cities--places where much of the population already willingly disarms itself against government tyranny.
Most people outside of India would be completely ignorant as to terrorism in India, so I wouldn't give their opinion much weight. I was pretty shocked that it was apparently common to have metal detectors at movie theatres, for example, at least in some cities - there's no real awareness of that outside of India/Indian diaspora as far as I know.

Really? So Ibn al-Nafis discovered pulmonary circulation first:

What difference did his discovery make in the development of medicine? Who built on it? Which therapies were invented? If his writings sat on a shelf, read by no one, why did they matter?

Contrast that with the various works from the Muslim world on optics that did contribute the building of understanding in the greater world.
