> you still can't afford to send your kids through college, and still make your house and car payments, replacing your car every year or two. Yes, that was what middle-class people used to do.

Where is this halcyon universe where the median (or even the 75th percentile) American:

* Paid for their children to go to college

* Bought a new car every other year

'Cause that doesn't resemble any point in the past century of the universe we currently inhabit.
The name for these jokes is a shaggy dog story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story

It's one of my favorite categories of joke. It gets even better if you can retell it to intersecting groups of people, as the people who have heard it before are now "in on it." They can see you leading the audience on a wild goose chase and will react with amusement throughout, increasing the excitement of the fresh audience and making the punchline (or lack thereof) all the better.
Generally agree, but I think 2022 isn't the case of "consistent supply".
Am woman; I simply opt out of all that rigmarole (such a good word!) and I'm so glad I work in an industry where it doesn't matter. I don't even wear a bra because I can't be bothered with an extra garment for the sole purpose of concealing my nipples. (Chestier people often appreciate their bras, but I'm not generously endowed enough to need the structural support.) Never been called out on any of it, even the bralessness, in professional contexts or otherwise. (I know some will think that's inappropriate — don't care, you'll live.)
I disagree strongly with your accusation. I suspect that you simply don't recognize less power or out groups where I see them.

Take nudist. When did you last time hear about a nudist politician that advocated for nudists rights. Would you disagree that being openly nudist would harm a politician chance of getting elected? That to me is a rather clear definition of a less powerful out group being openly discriminated against.

Similar, male buss drivers are a typical lower class worker group. You don't see many of those becoming politicians. Classism is often said as being the biggest cause for discrimination, especially when in combination with racism which itself can be a proxy for class. This is how companies can get away with dress code that actually cause directly bodily harm (overheating).

Some groups receive more sympathy, and which one those are is based one culture. It the same reason why some religions get more respect than others. A common argument I see when people justify this exceptionalism is when the religion is one of the big ones. Majority religions get more sympathy than minority religions, and the smaller a religion is the less their views get respected.

As an example, Muslim cultural behavior get more respected than practitioners of Wicca, Satanism, Missionary Church of Kopimism, and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. How would you rank those in term of power/out group definition?
> Because it would be rude not to respond, I'd like to send the spammer back an email and invite them to my very special registration form.

Don't do that. No, really, don't.

Okay, you didn't listen and did it anyway; please, at least don't automate it or semi-automate it where you're just doing it with one click.

> Spammer burned a total of 80 seconds in Password Purgatory

So you think, based on the belief that when you reply to the spam, it goes back to the spammer.

That may not be the case; when you engage spam, you are possibly generating "backscatter"; a person having nothing to do with the spammer may receive the e-mail.

Spam messages are not always relying on someone replying to them to hook in the victim. Sometimes there is no hook at all, or sometimes the hook is in the HTML links, and not in replying. (They additionally hope that if you reply, the person you are replying to will also get the spam e-mail, since it is quoted, and that person will click on the links.)
When I ask for evidence, and someone else supplies it, "you wish" isn't a strong rebuttal to the evidence.

> It wasn't like this.

I kind of have to agree with you here. I think three things made a huge difference: The breakup of the extended family, the rise in medical costs, and the rise in college costs. And, maybe, the failure of the pre-college education system to prepare people for the workforce (or even for adult life).

But the 50s through 70s were a golden time, at least in the US. Everyone else was rebuilding, and we had all the industry, and so we had a ton of jobs. But it wasn't always like that.

My father was born in 1930. He tells about having to re-use thread, not because they didn't have money to buy thread, but because the thread factories had closed. They didn't know when (if ever) it was going to be different. That was the first eight years of his life. So... it wasn't always like the 50s, either.
Perhaps your standard of living is higher? Spain is a relatively poor country and energy costs are not really scaleable to local standards.

I live in Spain and I wouldn't even consider getting AC with the current energy prices.
Today such jokes are made about engineers, mathematicians, and professors.
There are probably thousands or tens of thousands of people working on search. Some of them are interested in and interface with the business side but I'm sure most of them have objectives just related to search. It's possible they've found and not implemented massive improvements because it's getting sat on by higher ups who are more aware of the business and objectives of the ads teams. If that were the case though you'd probably hear about it and see people leaving in droves to start competitors
> Google appears to want the branding from one app (old Meet) but the install base of the new app (Duo) and the best they've come up with is to call them both "Meet"?

At least they didn't combine the two words into "Meo", which appears to be Spanish for "I piss".

"Duet" could have been interesting though.
That should say MTW as in Gravitation
>>WiFi is still optional according to their FAQ:

"optional" as in it will work in manual mode like a normal thermostat, it would not have any "smart" features with out a wifi connection

>915MHz is on this page:

That is for the sensors, which connect to the Thermostat, but not the thermostat itself

Zigbee can operate on 915MHz radio, but since they do not say the devices are "zigbee certified" I would bet it is some proprietary signal, or some incompatible zigbee that would not work with a non-echobee hub or network, which is one of the main feature people look for in a "ZigBee" device, no vendor lockin, and no cloud requirement
You may already know this, but if not and for others: my Excel files became a lot more manageable, maintainable, and readable when I switched from _LOOKUP() functions to the INDEX-MATCH pattern, and in particular using the pattern with Tables.

Basically

- Put the data to be looked up in a named Excel Table with a short, meaningful name. `data` is a good default name, but something with more meaning is better.

- Put the lookup 'results' in an Excel Table (naming optional but recommended). The output will be one column of the table, with one of the other columns used as input.

- Construct the output formula like `=INDEX(data[[value_column]], MATCH([@[input_column]], data[[lookup_column]], 0))`.

- (Optional) Put all formulas at the far right of the results table, so that you can copy new data into the left side easily without overwriting the formulas.

The MATCH finds the first row in `data` that has the lookup value from `input_column` (in the current table) in the `lookup_column` (in the data table). The INDEX grabs the value from `value_column` of the `data` table in that row.

Using Excel Tables helps by making the formulas more readable, and resistant to change. If new columns are added or removed the formulas continue to work (not true for how most _LOOKUP formulas are written), and the formula gets copied down to new rows as you add them.

You can switch to row lookups if needed (though you can't really use Excel Tables anymore)

if you need dynamic lookups you can specify both row and column as MATCHes in the INDEX formula (and INDEX against the whole `data` table instead of just one column). Something like `=INDEX(data, MATCH([@[input_column]], data[[lookup_column]], 0), MATCH([@[column_name]], data[#Headers], 0))`.
Except for the large member, which I've heard intimidates the less endowed.
I learned to code in isolation on QB back in the day - having interactive help right in the IDE was amazing in my pre-internet days. Later on I found the quickbasic version that let you compile executable (it may have been VB 1.0 IIRC) and from there on to FreeBasic (a qb compatible front end for GCC) and, well, here I am, doing this for a living from this.

I owe the great arc of my life to that program.
Ugh. I distinctly remember a dinner party in 1993-94 where we talked about how amazing the web was and how impossible it was to find anything. We discussed registered keywords a la AOL, and I’m sure someone suggested search engines would eventually solve it, but I certainly wouldn’t have wagered significant money on that based on Altavista.

When I discovered Google (I think it was running at beta.stanford.edu at the time) it was just short of a miracle.
I imagine viticulture techniques have changed too. France is surely more stable than many places, they place huge value on traditional techniques, but fertilizer, trellis technique, yields could all evolve.

GitHub Packages are (is?) a solid contender for artifact management. Artifactory is incredibly complicated; Nexus Repository is a monstrous legacy system.

> Whataboutism at its best.

The poster suggested joining facebook was a new low in character for Carmack. So this is hardly "whataboutism"

> are you seriously trying to argue that Facebook is as unethical as id software

I guess it depends on what your concerns about Facebook are. Did id treat employees well? Did it produce products that made that world a better place? In the 90s there was just as much bad media and controversy surrounding Doom and violent video games as there is around Facebook.

Just to clarify, I am not trying to compare them point for point. Just surprised that anyone would take issue with Carmack participating at FB. The guy is primarily known for making edgy entertainment products, not elementary schools. I don't have a problem with either.
This is such banal point to make when Apple combined with Google have Duoloply. With Apple's advantage in App store spending Apple basically dictates whatever they want to App developers. So saying that they have monopoly like powers is completely and entirely correct.
Yeah same. He might want to prove his existing knowledge (natural, to show the guest that he understands what he's talking about) but doesn't go about trying to outsmart people.

> Besides, JavaScript: The Good Parts remains one of the best programming books I've read (direly in need of a new edition).

My opinion is that at this point you wouldn't read JavaScript: The Good Parts to become more effective with the language (the books original intent).

Modern JavaScript is substantially different from what's illustrated in that book both in terms of language design and popular style. The ecosystem built around the web has moved on as well. Very few programmers spend their day manually manipulating the DOM anymore - almost always there's a library in between doing that.

The reason I _would_ recommend JavaScript: The Good Parts to someone is that it's one of the best examples of a well written technical book that I'm aware of. It's at once clear, deep, and concise. It's an easy read that assumes very little in terms of the reader's prior knowledge.

So many technical books are frankly very poorly written but Crockford, whatever you think of him, is exceptionally gifted at illustrating technical topics in a way that is easy to understand.

Typically the line for consoles for publishing and allowing releases is drawn at AO only games. Nintendo for example Published the M rated Eternal Darkness, and allowed Manhunt 2 to release on the Wii, despite political pushback including from senators through the CCFC. At the same time I don't believe they've ever produced anything M rated.

Dog whistles are blown by humans. Arguably it implies the people you're trying to reach are dogs, but I don't think the analogy is intended to be taken that far.

Following up "you used the wrong pronoun. Reddit posts identify as "they,"" with "As a wolf, I am deeply offended" doesn't exactly reassure me of honest intentions.

> Is branding so critical that Duo can't be used?

I'd be willing to bet someone in Google finally got tired of the jokes. "Google is so confused, have you seen how many IMs they have?" is literally a meme, so one day Big Exec probably blew his top and went "Right, we need to fix this for good" -- obviously not by changing the internal processes that produced the mess in the first place, but by tackling the meme. That's typical salespeople's reasoning. So the result was... a mess of a transition, and probably even more memes: "Google is so confused, have you seen how many IMs they have? They're so many, they ran out of names and started reusing them".
it's no surprise their video meet branding is going so swimmingly if you saw what they did to their other brands with the logo redesigns. They don't seem to understand the purpose of branding. You can't make individual apps part of a collective with icon themes and still retain strong brand identity among each individual app. It's like they tried to split the difference, and the result is a bunch of gibberish.

From the fact check posted in another comment:

> Palumbi added: “Coral cover is actually slightly lower than normal levels in the north, central and southern parts of the huge reef. But coral diversity hasn’t recovered - the increase of cover is due to a set of very fast-growing species. Like a forest of fast-growing trees, not the normal oaks.”

> There are many varieties of coral on the reef, with hard coral cover of huge significance to marine scientists.

> Pointing to a study (here), President of the International Coral Reef Society (coralreefs.org/) Andrea Grottoli, says, “Australia is at record low of hard coral cover (see Ch 2, page 8), most of this decline due to declines on the GBR.”

But they aren't. They're making it harder for other advertisers because they want their cut. Apple's Hide My Email was a perfect example. It builds barriers to tracking for third parties, while Apple themselves can still track you just fine. Apple makes everyone's tracking opt in, while theirs is opt out.
This is an utterly deluded perspective that maybe only applies in hyper-regulated, to borrow from one below comment, "hellscapes" like NYC an SF. And maybe not even then. A median house is $400k (and yes, it's located near a job, probably a median job). A payment on that is <$2k after recent rate increases. Changing cars every 2 years is dumb and maybe made sense when cars were much lower quality, but still, median new car is what, $30-40k?
How much is median, decent college, e.g. an in-state university?

In most of the country, $200k is not middle class indeed - it's "rich".

Real /median/ household income is still on "relentless rise": https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N

Middle class "shrinking": https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/middleclass1....

To counter other left-wing delusions implied in this post,
housing-to-income ratio is long-term almost flat, until the recent inflation: https://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-median-annual-inco...
I am not sure if they adjust by size, as median house size has also increased by a lot over this time; if they don't it understates the modestly of the housing price increases.

Government spending as %% of GDP is constantly growing, or at most flat in good times: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYONGDA188S

Thoughts on making music vs. computer programming
It seems that both touch on some of the same veins. They can both be incredibly technical.

The main difference (and striking similarity at once) that I see is where computer programming might have the developer wishing the end user has a particular type of machine, or environment, to execute their code..... the musician probably wishes the listener have a type of speaker arrangement, acoustics, and several other factors.

All things considered, it seems far easier to at least execute the final result of a music piece on any given random hardware, instead of a piece of computer code.

I'm not sure I understand what's being alleged here.

When the National Review writes about DeSantis, aren't they genuinely wanting him to beat Trump?

How does them writing about him help Trump? They get three seperate mentions, including this callback:

> Donald Trump leads the polls nationally and in most states in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. There are understandable reasons for his eminence, and he has shown impressive gut-level skill as a campaigner. But he is not deserving of conservative support in the caucuses and primaries. Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones.

That seems fairly honest and straightforward.

Should they be going for reverse-psychology and talking about how great Trump is and telling people to vote for him?
I'm confused, you say you want the "old" versions of Winamp, but Winamp has had a media library since the "old" versions. Maybe you can ignore the current one just as you always have and not base your diatribe off one screenshot in an article?
I'll be honest, after several years, I've never noticed this. I probably have google meets, slack huddles, and phone calls with people for 2-4 hours a day, and most are using AirPods and nobody is asking anybody to repeat things. (Except when they weren't actually paying attention.)

I also record those mini slack screencasts with them all the time and have no problem understanding on review.

I know I personally am a loud talker, so maybe that helps. I've also upgraded to airpod pros, but did a year of remote without and many coworkers don't have them.

But, one coworker slowly turns into a robot when using his AirPods. Maybe it's about how much interference is in the area? But he's defaulted to using his laptop mic and AirPods to listen.
