It's important to note the difference between...

...a young single employee living in the city who also dates and socializes in the city, and has a short commute to a nice office and has a social experience...

VS

...a 20+ year veteran with 3 kids and a house in the suburbs with a 2.5hrs of commuting per day and a job that consists entirely of conference calls, emails, and presentations.

Not everyone fits in these two groups, but they are illustrative.

The first group of young employees NEED the socialization. It's an important part of generating company culture. It's also usually a low cost effort for them to commute.

The second group has usually already baked in their system of organization and discipline and can more easily maintain productivity at home.

Another dimension is how much socialization an employee needs to do their job. Someone in HR might need considerably more face time than a programmer.

If I ever have kids, I'd probably tell them to go to community college like I did .

Even at community college, I was meeting students from Sweden, China, etc. Even went out with a K-pop supermodel once. You can attend college in California, at a community college for about $1,000 a year. Everything included.

Then go to UC Berkeley, where at most it's going to be $20,000 a year for 2 years, that's only a total of $42,000 to get a degree from one of the best schools in the world.

Now I imagine, let's say my first girlfriend finds my number, we end up having the twins that she wanted. And then our twins are super geniuses who get into Harvard.

Then maybe 250k isn't enough, it's weird though because I would think that anything over 200k is doing absurdly well.

Plus if you only need to go into work one or two days a week, just drive from Sacramento..

A lot of people don't consciously notice it. But I remember the first time I read through the lyrics for the Scorpions "Love at First Sting" album and noticed there are a couple of consistently intertwining stories going on.

The same thing goes for Ozzy both with and without Black Sabbath. There's a momentum from beginning to end that is really clear when you look for it.
> the most important part in this design is the realization that we do not need a global order in order to choose an entry to evict

This is a key insight many people miss. The optimal eviction is not computable, so any reasonable approximation will likely have a similar outcome. Given this, it makes sense to pick an approximation that facilitates other objectives, like computational performance.
A book on this topic I really enjoy is Technopolis by Neil Postman.
He makes the case that technology is a tradeoff and must be viewed as such. It hasn't been till recently that we built a society that is technology for technology sake.
Ah yes the general. "Ultimately we can choose to screw you however we want, but we've made some sort of blanket clause in this that if you try something that is a breach of contract"

Or as the The PHB in Dilbert once said "It's better than legal we are using the law to keep justice away."
I sometimes wonder what people are using React for, that they wouldn’t know this or have figured it out along the way. Let me kind of explain, as best I can, without code.

We have a complex software product, an integrated compliance and risk management system with embedded workflow, automatic highlighting of potential risks due to non-compliance, plans of actions (aka risk management plans), RBAC, ABAC (used to control different things), etc.

The backend does most of the work. What gets presented at the frontend can be complex.

The React component model gives us an almost functional DSL that we use for compact, highly expressive tooling that allows us to integrate common look and feel, table exports, etc., across some really complex data.

We started before Hooks were widely available or widely known, and, we started with class-based components, because we realized pretty quickly we were going to have to do some funky state management, especially where workflow was involved (we want a common look and feel across processes and tasks, so workflow tasks and processes get wrapped in higher level components that call back to other high level components; the forms can have dozens or hundreds of variables, some interdependent, so state has to be communicated up for validation; React handles sending it down).

Our key state management function is a custom signal handler that gets passed as a prop to all sub components, then, via a common wrapper, back up to the high level components that group everything for display and consistency purposes.

As we refined this handler (and a few others), we moved from class-based to functional components.

The functional components are simpler than the class-based components they replaced, with much of the complexity located in one place, the handler.

Our handler allows us to pass state up “just far enough”, and React handles updating all affected components.

Performance is fantastic, validation is easy(ish; it takes some staring to grok how it hangs together), and debugging (once one has grokked, is straightforward(ish; there are edge cases that cause pause, until the “oh, yeah, that” moment).

That functional DSL has allowed us to build several suited-for-purpose DSLs, e.g., our workflow system, which, while not no code, is low code (configuration as code more than anything else).

If we didn’t understand the React state management model, none of this would have been possible.

So I ask, in naïveté, what are people building that they didn’t need to know that?

(We are likely to move to Hooks anytime soon, because we’ve already solved the problem they were introduced for, and without having to rewrite much. Hooks look like we would have to make wholesale changes, in which we see little value, at least right now, OMMV in the future).

Don't need all of the audience to have issues of any sort to have some of them... do things. Sometimes the reach of "information" sucks.
I agree one could pick silly metrics. The point is to pick a metric that you have thought about and care about the results. It is difficult to discuss/debate the proposition "I feel weird about the direction of society." There are so many aspects to discuss. Technology impacts a great many of them. My suggestion is to sit down and think about a metric you would like to improve. Why do you want it to improve? What has it been doing over some period of time? What do you think it will do in the future? This can help step away from simply having feelings because the press reports the climate is changing, ai is taking away jobs, kim kardashian broke up with pete davidson.
I'm no expert, but mouse drag events in React are fairly simple to get working performantly, even without understanding how it works under the hood. There are even many libraries that provide functionality, all without it running 'like a pig'.

I have it with Debian testing/unstable on my laptop, I think it has about 15 years now. Most stable system. I have also Ubuntu laptop from work, freezes constantly.

This is exactly what we did for PyPI: we allow the user to enroll as many 2FA factors as they'd like, of both supported types (TOTP and WebAuthn).

The post is dated 2019, but the summary of practices we wrote here[1] is still relevant (and IMO, correct).

Yes, JetBrains has done a nice job reverse engineering key, proprietary pieces of Microsoft's .NET ecosystem to create proprietary components of their own IDE.

That does not an open platform make.
I think this sounds like using a Markov process to model a current state and reachable states, at two steps away, and tryimg to assign transition probabilities between them. The flaw I see in this approach is that one has limited sensing (don't really know the true state of things) and likely a large number of possible transitions to other states that are outside of one's influence or ability to predict. But I guess it may work well in limited domains, with few variables/agents and it's probably better to give it some thought rather than ignoring it completely.
There is VS Code, which is not a version of VS, is free, and has this debugger.

Using volume measurement for salt is a bit problematic, because different brand of salt come with different sizes. A teaspoon of finer salt might be twice as heavy as a teaspoon of coarser salt. It's not always easy to find out that ratio between your salt and the one used by the recipe author.
Germany typically uses X joules of energy to run its economy. Some percent of that X comes via nat gas (and oil) from Russia. If they replace some of those Russian joules with nuclear joules, then a smaller percentage comes from Russia. That lowers demand for fossil fuels. That reduces revenue for Russia.

> It's not going to affect the 10m+ gas-fired furnaces, water heaters, ovens or stoves...

Not at once. But it certainly makes it easier for people to replace nat gas appliances with electric ones. If you are heating your home with nat gas and the price explodes, it would be beneficial to lower your thermostat and crank up an electric space heater to make up (some) of the difference.
Cars seating is horrible and bad for backs. Trends, tradition and short term cost decide most design considerations not practicality or what’s best.

I always thought it wasn't such a bad idea, it's a country reliant on remittances, and wire transfers and alternatives are expensive (I used to work at Xoom/PayPal)

Well when I was in Japan, all trains were on time, all trains clean, all trains arrived in the correct order, all employees friendly and competent.

I'm using Deutsche Bahn for 45+ years now. Before privatization trains were on time but employees thought they are managing a prision. Since privatization there are always problems. Late (they say 5min which means 10, they say 10 which means 15, they say 15 which means 30, they say 30 - it will never arrive). Trains are dirty, lots of ICE trains are old, you're very lucky when you get a new gen 4 train. Two weeks ago they had to vacate a railway car because the air conditioning broke down - everyone had to go to another railway car in an already full train. Which was a replacement ICE, because the the train I had a reservation for was cancelled. I was very lucky to be able to make another reservation in the next train, which was very full because of the cancelled train, and people were angry because they couldn't sit although they had paid for a reservation.

And they own the tracks so do everything to kneecap the competition. Some competitors that exist are much much better (e.g. ODEG).

The also had a legal monopoly on bus travel in Germany (fell after 70 years). And did everything bus travel was as unattractive as possible so people would use trains.

They have an app where you can check in. But only if you're going alone, if you travelling as a couple, you can't check in. We tried the app for some time and thought it was an UI problem or our stupidity, when a Deutsche Bahn employee confirmed that it's not possible to check in with two people sharing a ticket in one app. You need to buy two tickets - beware if you travel with two persons. As we say in Germany, #neuland.

I love how that video is from 2015 when the price was $200. Two major bubble expansions later, and literally 100x higher BTC price, and people are still saying the same dumb thing.

I would never suggest that anyone gamble on cryptocurrency that they can't afford to lose, but all of these El Salvador buys are less than a year old. People in this thread are ridiculing buys that wouldn't even qualify for long term capital gains. This is the kind of short-term short-sighted thinking that causes people to make terrible financial decisions, like panic selling.

Warren Buffet has the famous saying "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." If you can't think in terms of 10 year horizons for your investments, you probably shouldn't be doing it.

The problem is that it's not clear (at least to me) whether adding the "Youtube face" is making people click on the videos more, or is it just making YouTube push the video to a wider audience resulting in higher engagement.

Is there some way to assert "Given the same audience of X people, adding such thumbnails results in more clicks"?
Similar to uber with their subsidized rides. Early on uber was dirt cheap, now it's 3x for those same fares after they drove the taxi businesses to the ground.

> Either way, songwriters still get screwed

I have a couple of friends who make/made music and they all say this problem is overrated. What you've lost in royalty-per-cd you're more than making up for in availability.

If you tried making music 30 years ago, and you got the 1-in-a-thousand record deal, you only make a cut per CD after you pay back the record label.

Today, if you just want to make some jams in your basement, you can find a niche and end up on a few playlists and start pulling in some money.

The only people losing out are the big name pop artists - but the distribution tail got a lot fatter for everyone else.
Why is Ford switching away from a RTOS with a great history in the automotive space to try to force me to have something to do with Google?
I think every generation says this about the younger generations to them. However, there is a difference today, and that is musicians releasing songs one at a time on YouTube instead of as an album. Even a large number of the older-generation musicians are doing it.

Sure they often end up as albums, but they are originally heard as one-off products, and probably thereafter listened to by preference and not as intended. As well, it basically means songs that don't have videos are typically relinquished to the heard-once category.

Still there are not much other routes you can go supersonic in one flight but trans-atlantic, which Concorde could do.
Trans-Pacific which could have been the big money making route, like LAX to Tokyo, you need to be able to do 4737 nm... which makes the 4250 nm just short to make it.
They would face the same problem the Boeing 2707 team had (or even Lockheed with the L-2000 project), no matter how they tried, too short range for trans-pacific in one Hop. So they would have had to make a stop to Hawaï, but then what's the point if you can take first class in a B777 and make the journey shorter in one subsonic flight.
All other routes would be over land, and there again you can't go supersonic (for time being).

This won't age very well, just like all the other "bitcoin is dead" posts made during bear markets.

Also, El Salvador seems to be "up" if their whole economy is measured, and that's mostly because of their Bitcoin strategy. Especially, their tourism is up 81% compared to pre-pandemic levels. https://cointelegraph.com/news/tourists-flock-to-el-salvador...
That makes sense and it's satisfying but the article says: But what’s funnier about Roy’s friend’s problem ... is that DoorDash priced the pizzas incorrectly.

We can easily model this in a sheet. Like this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JhvGd6iVWNweMM-PYk3z...

At todays Jet 1 A US fuel price of $3.07 per gallon it would cost $108k to fill the Concord. Which holds 120 passengers. That comes out to a cost of $900 per person passenger on a full fight.

If the cost of fuel were double like a few months ago then that cost would be $1,800 per flight.

Compared to a Boeing 737 which has a fuel cost of ~24k at max capacity of 7,878 gallons at todays prices. A passenger limit of 177 and a fuel cost as low as $136.64 per passenger on a full fight.
