Fantastic book. The stories about the slot machine players who wear black pants so that they can urinate without being noticed was shocking, to say the least. They are so addicted to the machines that they won't even get up to use the restroom.

The phrase he used, "playing to extinction", very much reminds me of what's happening now across most entertainment categories, broadly speaking (autoplay, loot boxes, slot machine-style gaming content, etc.)

You are also running with an assumption that whatever investment they may have used the same funds for, would have netted a gain (or a lower loss). The opportunity cost argument is only valid if in the alternative investment you actually end up in a better spot, that's not a given.
I was wondering why there are so many big crypto conferences in Miami[1][2][3]! I'd bet Miami is the center-of-gravity for crypto enthusiasts for the same reason Art Basel is in Miami. (I assume because of all the money floating around, not all made 100% above-the-board)

It’s so fun to ferment stuff! Yogurt and sauerkraut are good starter ferments. Kimchi too. With hot sauce make sure to wear gloves and try to remove the pith and seeds. In my experience it can make the sauce quite bitter.
It's incredibly frustrating to me that buying a vehicle with a pushbutton, working, reliable interface is becoming increasingly impossible to do. Why is UX so horrifically bad in the vehicle space? Is it poor management decisions or a shortage of good UX engineers? I get that lumping everything into the touchscreen can be a cheaper option to build, but I'd GLADLY pay for a different option. I don't understand it.

I would say that Arch's philosophy is about Exposed simplicity vs Hidden complexity. The wiki is extensive and covers a lot of cases one might stumble upon. Sometimes it feels like Arch's goal is to teach you how it works end-to-end. As a byproduct you get a working OS.

When fermenting pickles and peppers, mine always end up being too salty; I tend to want to error on the side of being too salty to make sure its a safe ferment, but then I have to soak the pickles in potable water until they aren't too salty anymore. I'll get it right someday.

I suspect that using volume measurements instead of mass might be part of the problem.
It looks like a lot of those projects are split in funding between the state and federal government for initial build and the counties are issuing bonds to fund maintenance.

Ah yea you're right - I misspoke. Vanilla JS feels verbose, and jQuery feels more terse in regards to general syntax.

This was a good and succinct read.

I noticed this phenomenon a lot when googling for non-political phrases. It's really all over Google search.

Phrasing a search in a way that implies some information or judgement tends to confirm the presupposition, even it has been proven to be wrong.

This would be expected to some degree even with plain keyword matching.

But AI and knowledge graph enhancement seem to amplify the problem.
> I'm hoping not to see an increase in pedestrian accidents but time will tell.

You will because we're putting supercars into the hands of people who simply cannot handle them and we obscure their line of sight and we design roads and highways for speed and to not have to pay attention to anything except the car in front of you also moving at a high rate of speed.

Also let's call this what it is, which is an increase in people being ran over, and cars crashing into each other and disfiguring people for life for no good reason. Calling it an "accident" like spilling milk instead of running over someone and their intestines spilling into the street really downplays how serious of a problem car crashes and running over people is.

(1) That early versions of technology are always expensive and inefficient.

(2) That we will probably have to pull CO2 out if we want to preserve our current climate.

Imagine if we applied the same logic to electric cars. We would never build them.

Accusations of victimization is a widely used strategy to deflect discussion of caste discrimination. And one common tool for that is the caste reservation system in India.
Debian unstable running here since about 7 years. I tend to reinstall when getting a new computer. Once I had X break and I had to set "GDK_BACKEND=x11" and "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11" to fix it. Something related to Wayland I guess. But I use startx directly, no login manager, so probably not a common issue.

Sometime more than five years ago, there was some trouble always when a new version of GNOME trickled to unstable one package at a time and having part of packages the old version and part new caused a lot of small issues, like thumbnails not working in Nautilus etc.

I don't remember any other relevant issues. apt-listbugs helps avoid a lot of issues. I use aptitude as package manager (commands, not the menu UI) and often use "aptitude forbid-version" to skip a bad version, not sure if apt-get or apt these days provide something similar. apt-listchanges is nice too, although I rarely see something relevant to me specifically there.
The Mid-Atlantic. In my lifetime we've had one tornado that leveled the downtown of a small town - which the state took care of. Meanwhile Florida has had multiple "once in a lifetime" super hurricanes and numerous small hurricanes hit it. All these rich people want to move there - they don't it like here where the winters get bitter cold? Great! Let them pay for it. I'm sick and tired of their politics and I'm sick and tired of thousands and thousands of dollars of my tax money going to pay for their folly.
> .NET is their own thing to begin with and nobody suggests rewriting core pieces of Linux with it.

Yet. But on a few distros it was heavily encroaching on default installed GUI applications. I don't know if that's increased recently because I've been straight Debian for 5 years now, but there's not a huge jump from that to the rest of userland.

edit: I think Miguel de Icaza was responsible for a lot of that incursion, and he seems to be drifting into the EEE interpretation of MS handling of .NET, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31761130
We put a QR code on every charger and provide a web app so that users don't have to download another app.

Plug and Charge is exciting, but there's many limitations. Mostly comes down to vehicle manufacturers and charger manufacturers. On both sides, there are many that don't support ISO 15118 yet.

ChargePoint's security concerns about ISO 15118 published a few years ago were also valid (https://www.chargepoint.com/files/15118whitepaper.pdf). A man-in-the-middle attack is possible with the current version of the ISO 15118.
I use this system [0], which is basically foolproof and is easy as pie. The end results are amazing. Right now I have two jars of blended up hatch chiles (with onion, garlic, carrots, and 4% salt by weight) on the counter, probably two more months to go on them. It's a super fun way to make food.

Do you remember the passengers of the Axiom in WALL-E?
You start with a definite "no" but are actually saying exactly what I said, just in other words. Except the last paragraph which seems like a very naive interpretation of what I said.

There's no implication of "kindness of their hearts" but rather that after a lot of money is wasted on corruption there's still plenty of money left to get the job done right. If you can afford to pay 2x the value of the work you can do a good job and pocket the 1x difference. If you can only afford 0.8x the value of the work and 0.1x of it "belongs" in your pocket... you have a problem despite the lower absolute value of the act of corruption.
This is genuinely lovely and informative. Thank you!
Anecdote time. I was in Munich during the winter and had forgotten gloves. I was at an upscale hotel and everything there was paid for by work, so I got a pair of knitted gloves from their in-hotel store. The clerk made a point to tell me they were imported and of the highest quality.

How about a design doc / tech spec before the meeting? The tech spec gets submitted for review, similar to a PR, then you can discuss it at the meeting. Otherwise I fear you'll waste a ton of time at those meetings and not get much out of it.
>Ford’s entire suite of driver-assistance tech is called “BlueCruise,” which is deeply confusing because it means that everything from boring old cruise control to full-on hands-free driving is technically “BlueCruise.”

This seems far less confusing than the Autopilot and FSD bifurcation that Tesla has.

It beeps at you to get your hands on the wheel when you're trying to autosteer in places it's not allowed. Sounds reasonable, no?
> bizarre fixation

The system of free market pricing has always been a more efficient and effective way to distribute scarce goods to where they are most needed.

The system of rationing has never produced fair or efficient results. If you disagree, present a system where rationing has done otherwise. Certainly, that has never worked for water distribution.
>Consider that a decade ago, people who were starting with the frontend were learning jQuery, which is almost irrelevant now.

It's not that simple. At the time, jQuery was absolutely pivotal in bringing about ES5 and the transpilation revolution on the front end. More or less its' entire API was subsumed by the browsers, and so jQuery became unnecessary, but far from irrelevant.

I can see the same thing happening today with React/JSX. There is simply no better way of expressing a UI than JSX-like components. And FRP as a paradigm for UI development is here to stay. So the future of web dev probably looks something like Yew [0].

Sorry for being unclear. It's not that Docker doesn't work well with LEMP, it's that Lando in particular was designed around older stacks (LEMP/LAMP and caches) and wouldn't be appropriate if you were trying to spin up, say, Next.js or Deno or Cloudflare Workers or React Native stacks or whatever.

The "unlucky" part is just having to work with a LEMP stack at all, and that's just my personal bias leaking through my post, sorry. Having grown up with that stuff and used it until just last year, I am so so grateful that I was able to finally move into a frontend job where I don't have to manage the stack anymore. A new generation of abstracted backend vendors (headless CMSes coupled with Jamstack hosts) makes it so that there is a sub-industry of web devs who never have to touch VMs directly anymore. I, for one, couldn't be happier about that.

(But of course there will always be other use cases that require a fuller/closer to the metal stack, and also backend and ops people who love that work. I don't fault them in the least, I greatly respect them, I'm just glad I don't have to do that.)
In theory, a faster airplane is more productive (fly passengers farther in the same amount of time). So crew and capex costs are lower per mile. Maybe a crew can fly New York-London and then fly back, vs a subsonic airliner with a crew that flies one way, stays a day for crew rest, then flies back.
1st I make use of uBlock Origin filters and I blocked all distracting sources (social media, reddit, etc)

2nd I also blocked via browser any images so I have only text

3rd I try to learn or read about things that fit into my interest zone while avoiding anything else

4th Since I live with my gf I try to spend as much time as possible with her (talking mostly), this way we're both off the distracting internet sources

I value my time more since I'm in my mid 40s, I don't think I waste my time on the internet if I'm reading about something that (see point 3)

When I was a child and right after high-school, the internet was either non-existent or not-accessible. But I do believe that it's the most beautiful thing invented in the last century, it's mind blowing how much can you learn/see/find if you don't waste your time into scroll/click spiral.

If you know where to look/search, there are treasures everywhere on the internet.

Funnily enough my main box is an Ubuntu 22 machine that started life as an Ubuntu 16 machine.

The only problem I have at the moment is the root filesystem is on an early 64GB SSD and it's getting a bit cramped. Well, that and Ubuntu 22 really took a big steaming dump on Firefox. :( It has to run out of a container that cripples it.

I only update on even years though, so only 3 major updates. Not really all that exciting. I also have a FreeBSD box that started out as FreeBSD 8 something and is currently FreeBSD 13-RELEASE. This had some issues because the software RAID I was using became deprecated and I had to move all of the data off to a backup drive and rebuild the data drive at one point.

it's a problem of scale: it can mean "changing or fluctuating" as in, the software itself won't change over, say, a time scale of months (what Debian means), OR "changing or fluctuating" in the sense that a stable chair does not fluctuates, breaks or tips over when you sit on it, e.g. at the time scale of an human interaction. I'd wager than people mean the latter in general with the word "stable".

This is basically where I stand to source optimism.

I think tough unemployment for white collar jobs is coming. The best automation allegedly exists in whatever that catch all term for corporate processes tech, and there’s that data that tech recognized lung cancer scans better then radiologists. Also, I think the odds of redlining and deep invasions of privacy for insurance rates via always-on apps while your drive or w/e are pretty high in the short term.

But, the full-on oh no dystopia is an ETL/data eng challenge and resulting innovation away. That’s also the area that’s usually a mess with companies aggregating and using the data to do XYZ.

Jaron Lanier/Siren Servers makes an argument that basically that ETL challenge will be what stops a really bad outcome, as the Siren Servers that do the analysis will collapse under the weight of their data.
I said above, it's not that CICO is wrong. No point I have raised could possibly disprove CICO because CICO is obviously correct from a physics perspective, and I'm not sure if anyone here is trying to find loopholes in simple laws of physics.

I (and most of the other commenters here it seems) keep trying to communicate that it is possible to be both technically correct and simultaneously not useful as a weight loss strategy.
This was something I always heard before I experienced it but the truth is it wasn't so bad. You definitely weren't sitting in a full First Class seat (which were smaller in any case back then) but it was still perfectly comfortable especially for the relatively short duration.

And because the overall experience was so cool -- board directly from the lounge, the led display showing how fast you were going, seeing the curvature of the earth (sorry flat earthers), arriving before you left, etc. -- you never thought about the seat. I'm sure if you took it all the time you might care but most people it was awesome.
Yeah, I can't think of anywhere in the US this would overlap with a protected class - so long as it was consistently applied. If someone says they discriminate based on your sign, it would warrant a very close look to be sure they aren't actually only checking the birthdates of people of certain protected categories.. this sort of red herring discrimination does happen, but if it was truly and consistently based on someone's sign, that would likely be defensible everywhere in the US.
That is true, I was restricting my vocabulary to avoid adding additional concepts.
This, 100%. Reproducibility, traceability and auditability all go out the window when you allow source modification on in production directly. You never want to ask "what's running in production" only to be greeted by crickets in response, or worse a lone "my branch from five days ago."
The idea is you shouldn't really need to. You have tools to memoize expensive operations in a React-friendly way, but even then you shouldn't really have to think about render cycles.

YMMV but I the only time I've ever had to really think about this stuff was when trying to frankenstein legacy jQuery code into a React app.
As always, there's a webcomic for that: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2475

Technical people with some knowledge of a topic will often find themselves on the peak of mount stupid (see comic).

In other words, knowing just enough to feel like you know a lot, not knowing enough to realize how much you don't know.

And... well university education often doesn't succeed in teaching people to estimate their knowledge on a subject appropriately. "I don't know but I want to know more!" isn't a very common outcome when a topic comes up. I think it really has to do with people who spend a lot of time being the most knowledgable one on most topics around getting used to just having an answer whether or not it's correct.
Absolutely.

I find myself saying this a lot when I try and explain the concept of Supabase.

> What about in the EU? You don't think there are people there enthusiastically discussing DEI?

There probably are but: 1) I understand it's often thought of as an Americanism there, and 2) Europe doesn't have the same history, which would make its ground less fertile for it (white people are aboriginal there, and I understand there's little to no history of domestic radicalized slavery, etc.).

Thank you, I'll have to look into this. I was thinking from a file namespacing perspective there shouldn't be overhead, but it makes sense that adding the overlay filesystems and mounts would impact performance.
In Netherlands we have a new problem now to fix. There's a very efficient system of dikes, levies and pumps (large parts of the country are below sea level) to get rid of the water from the river Rhine and big rainfalls. But in recent years drought has become a big issue, and now we have to significantly alter this system so it is also able to retain water when necessary.

This Wikipedia page has a map that shows how the country would look like without dikes. Amsterdam for instance would be fully flooded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_control_in_the_Netherlan...

Referenced from this page is also the "Room for the River" project where indefensible lands are given up, and many places have been created where the river is allowed to flood its banks, so it becomes more manageable elsewhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_for_the_River_(Netherland...

Your points are all valid, but I will point out homebrew not working isn’t really an apple issue. Also this isn’t quite same level as X or drivers not working. It seems intuitive that less configurability in is in fact a reason why macOS is more stable
