I ride motorcycles and that intense focus for me is meditative. I feel more engaged and alert after a 30 minute motorcycle ride than I do riding an Uber. The motorcycle riding has a similar counterintuitive effect (for me) as Ritalin. (Ritalin is a stimulant used to treat ADHD.)

When I ride public transport or have a driver — I feel relatively more lethargic than when I ride the motorcycle (and to a lesser extend driving a car.)

> it is to massively double down on improving public transit

Why? Private transport represents freedom, public transit represents control. Furthermore, getting public transit to a level of perfect will cost tens of billions of dollars and for what benefit? To have cities and towns shut down each time there is a transit strike, a superstorm, or the government decides we should stay home?

Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, scooters — those work. Let’s make that better. I definitely don’t like spending my time sitting next to strangers of an indeterminate mental status in a temperature that isn’t of my own choosing going to a destination that isn’t necessarily the precise place I want to go. I want to interact with strangers as little as possible.

Raise the fares to $20 (and enforce it) and perhaps I’d consider riding public transit. But after my experiences with the BART and piss-soaked, rat infested NYC subway stations, no thank you. If I want thrills hanging out with a bunch of psychotics waiting for an excuse to push you onto the tracks, I’d rather BASE jump the Met Life building instead.

For a young single person carrying nothing more than their Manhattan Portage satchel to some hipster haunt in Brooklyn, public transport can be great. For people with stuff to carry, small kids, wheelchairs, or mobility issues, or tight schedules, not so much. Add the safety aspects to it and public transport becomes less attractive — unless of course they start allowing those with firearms permits to carry on public transport. But even then, not sure why people would want to give up point to point freedom for public options.

Men are in the same boat if the whole community is focused on raising big families. In traditional communities women do vast majority of children raising. They're essentially gatekeepers of the culture. If the community wanted to reject the culture, women are the ones who can bring forward the change. If they want, of course.

Sort of like in western world people have no „complete agency“ to refuse consumerist work/buy/die life. Technically they can, but in reality the society is stacked against that.

I'd argue that Amish are even more flexible than mainstream. Amish communities kick out the young to explore the world and then return on your own accord. Is mainstream society willing to kick out the kids to live with amishes or something along those lines? As far as I see, with very few exceptions, it's reinforcing the work/buy/die cycle.

I think game devs are on the opposite side of the spectrum from web devs when it comes to performance testing, though.

PC gaming has always been performance-driven, and performance variability/customization has been part of the end-user experience since the first 3dfx cards and graphics settings screen (and before that too).

Web... until recently it wasn't really a consideration for users or devs, because everything was just basic HTML and CSS and it was big images or videos that was the problem. Then, within like a decade, suddenly all these JS-heavy frameworks took over and everyone jumped on board, and connectivity has struggled to keep pace. Web developers (the humans) too struggled to keep up, with everyone having to relearn the framework du jour every year or two, with all the optimization techniques of the previous generations thrown out or made irrelevant by new frameworks & browser optimizations. I've never met a web dev who seriously even considered performance beyond some superficial metrics -- I've never seen anyone use the profiler in Chrome or their IDE at all -- much less knew what to do about it even if they did. It's just not really a thing, at least in the small to med business space. Maybe if you're working in big tech or framework development that's different, but otherwise, performance is near the bottom of considerations for web dev. Which is why we have articles like this every once in a while... it's actually newsworthy when people go "hey, JS is slow again, here's technique #33 million to speed it up", to which most of us will go "oh, that's nice, but I can't replace my whole stack just for one speedup, and besides, this new thing is going to be obsolete by September anyway."
Is there any public data on the distribution of success on OnlyFans? I have the impression that it mirrors other social media; a very small number of people make a very large amount of money, while the vast majority of people earn scraps at best.

I expected the article to mention something about this, but it only mentions the lopsided customer side of the equation, most of the money coming from a very small number of whales.

As a counterpoint, I don’t think it’s disingenuous and I have zero problems with it. I would only find it disingenuous if the statement made was false (trusted by developers at). Comparing traffic alone with actual usage of a product is weird. Obviously two very different things.

Conservatism has become more reasonable
Many of the comments seem to have reached a conaensus about the purported issue: public transit is slow because where people are and where they want to be are not connected by public transit. It seems impossible to judge the speed of "riding transit" in an unqualified sense when where we build the places people want to be and how close that is to existing public transit is no part of the conversation.
What are you responding to? I am responding to a claim that acknowledging poor work culture at Chernobyl is bigotry.

It's not bigotry (an intolerance of others) nor is it even prejudice (judging before you have the relevant facts.) It's a widely acknowledged historic fact that Chernobyl had a terrible workplace culture.

If you want to criticize somebody for ignoring Chernobyl's workplace culture, then you should have responded to sitkack, who seems to think that people shouldn't talk about this aspect of the disaster.

As if. This article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor_genocide_question is still up despite having almost zero pertinent sources.[1] Calling that "polar" is nothing short of a stretch.

At most, Wikipedia could be said to have a neo-liberal bias, an ideology upheld by both of the US' political parties, based on policies alone and not on each individual voter's personal and nuanced adherence. The parties are wrongly assumed to be polar opposites on the political spectrum by most US citizens, but they're not.

‘We may be living in an age in which conservatism is more reasonable. Following a crisis of confidence in the findings of researchers, there are fewer reasons to trust policy interventions. Relatedly, there is growing confidence in the integrity of human institutions. In recent years, cultural evolution theory has demonstrated the role of cultural inheritance in adapting species to social and biological environments.

These developments do not entail a case against all change – in many contexts, policy interventions remain reasonable and necessary – yet shift the basis of calculations. Compared to decades ago, conservatism now appears more reasonable.

One development presents a serious challenge to this argument: the increasing likelihood of exogenous shocks, primarily associated with the climate crisis. These will justify profound reforms, involving the ruptures which conservatives oppose, yet enhance other arguments for conservatism; if there are great changes in some areas, there is a stronger case for minimizing change in other domains.’
Perhaps we should instead be researching how to get more fuel cheaper. Much of the “cost” is self inflicted. Gasoline could be almost as cheap as bottled water if we wanted it to be.
Really interesting.

I searched for this online, but couldn't find it. Might you have a link handy? Much appreciated!
Which of public transit or driving is faster depends on the city, i.e. it depends on how congested the streets available for private cars are, in comparison with what is available for public transit.

I live in a city with subway and going by subway to any place that is not too close (so that the time to walk to a subway station is not a too large fraction of the total time) is much faster than driving a car, with the possible exception of late in the night, when the streets might be empty. In most cities with subways where I have been, this was also true, because they also had congested street traffic.

I have also been in several cities where the buses had their own street lanes, which were forbidden for private cars. In such cities, I have also seen frequently cases when going by bus was faster than driving.

Definitely as a luthier -- a violin made by a skilled luthier (not "top of the profession", but "a decade or more of experience doing this full time") is typically in the $10-40k range and if they're not doing repairs (which can also be lucrative) a luthier working full time hours can make 8-16 good quality violins per year.

Of course there's a bunch of expenses to be accounted for, but it's definitely still in the category of "six figure income if you're good".

> And in this matter, the "old fuddy-duddies" are the ones who want to keep the new, aberrant patterns of development and transportation that became dominant during their lives

Even in 1960 80% of households had a car: https://transportgeography.org/contents/chapter8/urban-trans.... Even in 1925 it was over half. There isn't a generation in American history where most people lived in a city and took public transit. In the 1920s and 1930s when that was common for people living in cities, half the country lived in rural places.

> with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

Is a key sentence here. Your points are invalid because none of these actions(even if they really took place, because you know about them from biased source) were caused by intent to destroy Ukrainians as group.

>I see you avoided the whole indiscriminate killing of civilians, of which Russians are already in jail for.

Because the indiscriminate killing of civilians is a common thing in wars. It's nearly impossible to prove that killing of civilian was indiscriminate. About jailing - of course you can jail prisoners of war, but it does not prove anything. Ukrainian SBU, like Russian FSB is descendant of KGB. They can get any testimony they need, especially from helpless prisoner of war.

>Why does Ukraine have to abide by the Minks agreement but Russia is free to wilfully for years violate the Budapest agreement where Russia promised to not invade Ukraine of threaten its territorial borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes?

First, memorandum is not an agreement. These things actually don't oblige you to anything. It's like "we talked, and there are the thing we said".

Second, Putin thinks that US broke the first point of that memorandum by inciting the 2014 coup. Because Ukraine is not sovereign now - it is fully controlled by the West. So old rules are not working anymore.

And third, Minsk agreements were signed after the annexation of Crymea, so Budapest Memorandum was already broken. If you do not intend to follow agreements, you don't sign them or you are liar. You don't say "hey you broke our last agreements so i can broke these".

About this article https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/877224. It's funny that you brought article from 2008(14 years ago), which clearly states that Putin told Bush that he will attack if Ukraine or Georgia joins NATO. 14 years later he attacked and everyone: "look! Putin is liar!". He told you about consequences 14 years ago!
You are correct if we're talking about somehow taking collective action, but I was talking from the perspective of a single person without a group they know well enough to start a revolution with. I think most people in Russia fit that description, at least all of the ones I know do.
Talking to Googlers nowadays, I think the bar for who gets to be a Googler has dropped significantly, but assumptions of prestige from without have not changed over time.

Don’t worry, The top DDG hit for “neo-Nazis had taken over Ukraine's Rada” has been spreading Russian propaganda since at least 2018 (according to Wikipedia).

DDG’s “downranking” of such things just means they’re not exclusively showing Russian sockpuppet propaganda sites now.

(The Rada thing was the top result of my search for examples of Russian propaganda in the US. If there’s some other Russian propaganda you’re worried might be censored, feel free to check DDG then post an example.)

Edit: Also, I distinctly remember CBS and NPR both pointing out that the Iraqi WMD lab was actually just a dairy delivery train car, as did a sizable minority of the senate. The main issue was that we had a propagandist in the White House, and the outlets that Russia currently is supporting helped push the WMD agenda.
> So I had to figure out a way to make money to invest my time in PlayCode and its users.

This is quite an impressive project, to which you've dedicated 6 years of hard work. If you really have users at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc., I would just ask them for money. These companies have tons of it and they certainly aren't giving their primary products away for free (don't be distracted by side projects like VSCode or GMail). Inform them that you'll be charging $39/month starting September 1.

> I wish it is completely free, Ad free

I get it, you have benefited from the open-source community and probably use a lot of free tools yourself, and you want to contribute or "give back." But your time, effort, intelligence and persistence are all valuable, don't dismiss that and don't assume you owe anybody stuff for free, especially trillion-dollar corporations.
I think this must be a relatively “new-ish” thing. When I got into this industry, in the middle 2000s, there was still the image of the “old beard” inside the company that was getting things actually done, and that was fine, one needn’t be a “director of” or a VP, just “programmer” was enough.

I now realize that worldview was on its last days, soon enough (I’d say 2007-2008) we started talking about “ninja” and “rockstar” programmers, first in the context of RoR but then it extended, gradually but surely, to almost all of the industry. And then lots and lots of money started becoming available via FAANG-like companies (I’d say starting around 2013-2014, something like that) and all this worldview was dialed up to one thousand.

This is such a weird comment. Seems like you believe that it’s less work to spend an hour with a 19 year old than a 91 year old? A personal trainer doesn’t charge less for a young client vs an old one. A masseuse neither. You may be a great conversationalist, but your taxi driver is charging the same as if you’re dead silent the whole ride.
The core protocol is minimal because it considers not only PCs and laptops as a target, but also smartphones and tablets (where supporting xdg-shell is usually not desired because it breaks the UI paradigm), IoT and embedded usecases. In particular, IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) was a hot area that every hardware vendor was trying to get into at the time (around 2010), including companies like Intel that contributed to the Wayland spec.

Source: I was active in KDE development around the time when the Wayland core protocol was defined, and followed the discussions on the side lines.
Great project! Love the focus on speed as well compared to other web IDE competitors out there.

However, that carefree plan 8 lines of code thing seems ridiculous, no? Most of the templates are already longer than 8 lines.. I think if you just removed many of the other "nice-to-have" features like publishing, npm packages, etc. but made it unlimited lines of code / time per day, the free plan would be much more compelling!

Also i agree with the other commentors that the logos on the homepage are a bit off-putting. I'd prefix it with "Used by engineers at...", as others have suggested as well.

All in all great job though!
By the way, the rational for putting speed limits is quite solid and i know one engineer who worked on that who told me the average speed in Paris around and during rush hour actually increase (by roughly 5 km/h) despite lowering the speed limit by 10 km/h. Outside those hours the speed limit setup did decrease the average speed (shocking!), but for commuters (who felt strongly against this new limitation) the overall change was actually a net positive (less hour stuck in traffic), and for car-owning residents (who where split on this) it was a net negative.
Cases were randomly selected to have Wikipedia write-ups posted about them or not.
