And then theres this faux-centrist meta hatred of strong opinions, and a general malaise of false equivalence. The Democrats and the Republicans are not the same.

There is demonstrably one party that pushes a heavily moderate corporatist populist agenda and one party that pushes radical christian nationalist policies which a majority of the population is not in favor of, from a heavily gerrymandered and structurally unfair (the Dakotas have the same number of Senators as NY and CA, f.x.) political position carefully engineered since the advent of the Southern Strategy.

Now, im not making a statement of 'correctness' vis a vis one side or the other, but if youre a woman or a person of color or queer in this country, The GOP policy platform is inherently hostile to your continued free existence.

The hatred is flowing mostly from the right, and being enacted into law.
They have tried to split out the Software Engineering Stack Exchange site for this per the reply at https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/124867/where-should.... As you note, these discussions are more complex than just a question and answer.

I'm curious how often you find that people get actionable information from outside that they couldn't have discovered with better introspection or understanding of the basics. I'm in a similar role and find that people want validation of working systems due to some new person casting shade, have a desire for more exotic technology, or just want people to shoot the breeze with peers on these topics. The answers to their actual problems are often staring them in the face, but are too mundane or boring to accept. Given the pressure to deliver, they'd be better off focusing on the basics for their stakeholders which is the place I try to get them to.

There's the implication that this is some sort of new cynicism, but the surface-utopia-with-something-nasty-behind-it was already a common sci-fi trope long before the Jetsons. People didn't really go there with the Jetsons because it was a _sitcom for children_, not because it wouldn't have occurred to a cynical adult viewer.

Looking at it, except for 2008 it seems that the dip is mild (for example the 1970's oil crisis have a very mild slope).

>> 60% of people are actively rooting for their country to do worse whenever their guy is not in charge.

> What are you basing this statement on? No way is it 60%, more like 6% of the population, but perhaps 0.6%!

I think what he probably meant was 30% at any given time, and in my rough estimation, he actually might be right. It's the difference between feeling that way, and being loud about it on Twitter.

I mean, can you imagine a committed liberal wanting the country to do better under a conservative politician with conservative policies? No, of course not, they want liberal policies. So they want the conservative to fail, and the country to do worse as a result, so the electorate will be unhappy and vote for a liberal next time. Then they can get their preferred liberal policies.

We're really entering into a phase where companies seem to be hell bent on extracting as much rent as possible for as little work as possible.

Which is the absolute end-game of capitalism if left unchecked and unregulated.

Let me guess - Next the book will become a subscription service.
I got my PhD in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
- I was paid a stipend that actually covered all basic living expenses for my wife and I.
- there was a 5 year limit for finishing PHD research, after which both the student and professor have to sign that they want to continue and the department would only allow that for about another year.
- I was treated very fairly and respectfully by my advisor at all times and I would say most of the other PhD candidates felt the same way.
- The chemical engineering department built a great environment for student-student and student professor collaboration. I learned so much from my fellow student colleagues and professors during my PhD and after finishing all graduate coursework.

... my positive experiences were all stated goals that department purposely worked really hard to bring about. I rate my experience a strong 9+ out of 10 and would do it again.

I do know other folks who had horrible, abusive PhD experiences at other universities. But that is the fault of the university for not creating a good environment.
My experience -- having worked with even kindergarten-age kids -- is that negative values don't complicate much of anything.

On the other hand, you often want to stick things at, or relative to, the center of the screen. If you want an edge, it's random which one you'll want, and addressing them consistently makes sense (windowHeight/2, -windowHeight/2, etc.)

manim does the same thing. It's super-intuitive to work with relative to anything else. manim also has shorthand macros like LEFT (which is a vector of (-1,0)), RIGHT, etc. which actually make for very readable code.

>> Copyright is a moral evil

> Please elaborate.

I think your parent was expressing the inherent tradeoff in Copyright.

On the one hand, the country has a vested interested in allowing citizens to participate in culture. That doesn't just mean consuming, but also modifying and creating using inspiration from other parts of culture.

On the other hand, the country recognizes that the generation of cultural artifacts is greatly increased if creators have limited monopoly rights over their creations so they can more easily make a living creating them.

I'm not sure if I would call it a "moral evil", but I can understand how one could.

OP follow this advice, that's the best learning resource for modern JS.

I always want the country to do better, but it depends on what you mean by "better". Your local school's funding was cut in half, but the average family owes $2,000 less in taxes in an area with already low incomes. Is that "better"?

Gas goes down to $2 a gallon. You probably pay less to commute to work or pull your boat. But your kids (and these days, you) might face crippling droughts and heat waves as an indirect consequence. Is that "better"?

I can understand differing views.

This works well, so long as it's the official policy. If the official messaging is "we need to incorporate everyone's perspective", but the actual policy is "you can implement any pattern you want so long as it's our pattern", it becomes unbearable.
Sure. You can replace broken window panes (essentially cut out old caulk) and presumably any rotted wood as well. (As sibling notes though, newer cheaper windows may not be worth trying to repair.)

I would try to call them and flat-out tell them that you don't own a smartphone. Just tell them that you're using a dumb flipphone to communicate. Maybe they have a way to authenticate via SMS or alternative means. Else that would mean that peopler from an older generation who still don't have smartphones are just excluded from using this bank, which would be strange.

Else your only option is to buy a cheap android phone which you only use for this login. In a way that makes your banking activities even more secure because you're only using the device for 2FA codes :)
You need to consider the maintenance / upgrade / patching (bug fixes etc.) burden too. For "fire and forget" projects you put to Heroku and forget about, almost any meme stack will do. For projects where you think you'll be maintaining it for 1-10 years, you have to be bit smarter.
Agreed, but i cant march every time someone has a different opinion than mine. People chose tories last election and now they are enjoying a shitshow of their own making. In the uk people dont vote directly for a prime minister, and now the democratically elected party is sorting (i hope demising) themselves internally. Nothing wrong with it.

I was just having a chat with my buddy today about how Apple, Microsoft and to a large extent Google are largely the best positioned to profit from any upstream applications. While the likes of Facebook, Instagram and TikTok fight for viewership, these underlying platforms are just counting profits regardless of who reigns supreme on the top. I don't know if Jobs saw this future unfold but here it is.

The gas stations of the digital era are just doing their job, ensuring that there is enough gas supply. What's ironic is that the biggest gas company also created the first automobiles, and basically told the market, everyone is welcome to build an automobile to use my gas as long as you give me 30% of your profits. Oh BTW, your automobile can run only using my gas. Boy, imagine this in the physical world.
Which is why they're not doing as well as they should be, rather than literally crashing and burning. At their size having two great franchises isn't good enough if everything else is absolute shit (not that I'm saying it is all shit, just that those two alone can't carry the stock market's expectation of more than just those two succeeding).
I definitely wouldn't visit those nasty libgen sites to download thousands of books from the pearson catalog for free, because pearson really cares about knowledge.
Yeah, I wish I could use it. I have friends who send me cool/interesting stuff.

Part of it having that stuff is the reason it's so addicting. I get in a loop of "maybe the next video is The One". That's why short form, title-less videos are such an addicting thing to consume. Especially when you can't see the next until you're playing it and by the time you've played it, the video is over.
A welcome reminder. Thank you.
The idea of an academic model definitely appeals to me. One thing I often struggle to find which is very common in academia is a literature review and a survey of common approaches. This sort of thing would be hugely valuablen tackling various challenges in building products and services.

Some examples we are currently tackling are secret management and rolling out updates. I can easily find products that promise to solve these. I can find some articles about "how we, at $COMPANY, solve this particular problem." If I am really lucky I can find one or two articles that answer "here is what we, at $COMPANY, do, and here are one or two alternatives we did not like for reasons relevant to our context." It is very difficult to find a proper review that lays out common patterns of implementation and gives a framework to discuss tradeoffs thereof.

at the root of this is the question of ownership. Digital goods have a questionable concept of ownership vs access through rental fees. If i buy a book, it is mine and i can do with it what i please.

That concept is much easier to implement with a physical object as opposed to a digital one.
In the days of cloud-hosted, microservice-based web applications, "architecture" in the infrastructural sense becomes less relevant. It's just a cloud server serving HTTP requests, having seamless access to vendor-provided elastic data stores, message queues, etc.

What remains relevant, though, is the "software architecture" – how you structure your data, what kinds of abstractions do you build over that data, is the data model suitable for the task at hand, etc.

Your statistics are a decade old - in the meantime California continued to climb, there's updated numbers. The fact that a state that huge is competitive in GDP per capita with extremely tiny flyover states, is extremely telling.
When I bought a car in 2015, I called around asking for the out-the-door price. I told the dealer that offered the best price that I was on the way. When I got to the dealership, I realized I was at the wrong one. I called the dealer to tell him I accidently went to the wrong one, the sales manager was standing there next to me and said we can beat their price, and I told the guy on the phone, they went back and forth a couple of times by $100 each instance. I ended up staying where I was and buying the exact same (common) car there.

When I bought a truck in 2019, there was only one in my state that had the features that I wanted (I did not tell the dealer this). I tracked down the fleet/internet sales manager's email and emailed him asking what the Out-the-door price without incentives was on that VIN, then when it came time to do paperwork, I told them to apply incentive codes XXXXXX and YYYYYY. They tried to add on a dealer package for $1500 (I laughed when they explained it to me: nitrogen-filled tires, VIN etching on the windows, tint on the rear windows, and security lug nuts, I said we're breathing 70% nitrogen right now, and you can buy a VIN etching set online for $10), so I kept saying "no" until they asked if I could do $150 which was their cost, and I said yes to finish the deal.

I told the salesperson that I understand they have to make a profit, and I have no issue with that, that they probably made $1500 to $2000 after the manufacturer volume incentive, and he said they only made $800 off of me.
I'm not associated in any way with him, but I would say he is the equivalent to what you just proposed.

Interesting point. Would distillation clean water from any contamination or are there common chemicals that would evaporate and then condense at similar temperatures as the water?

Boiling water for a few minutes is a common way to get rid of biological contamination.

>Most people don't give a shit about it.

Yes, but the parent's point might still hold.

You might not watch something because you hate the thing they put in (and that could be a minority), but you might not watch something also because "you don't give a shit" about the thing they put in - and want more of what you do like.

I think the Ghostbusters remake is an example where people not hating woke ideologically, still dislike the movie, because they don't give a shit about the things the writers found so important...

There's nothing wrong with payment for creating public domain work. As you said, this can be done today.

However, it's fairly limiting if that's the only way copywrite material can be compensated.

For example, I enjoy paying to see a movie that I want to see once it's out and has been reviewed. What I don't want, is to crowd-fund the movies I think I want to watch in 3-5 years from now.

If, once created, copyright becomes public domain how do you see big IP's being funded realistically?
