The Grenfell Tower tragedy is mostly not a story about not having big enough ladders, or at least, that's probably not a good way to solve the problem.

It's a story about committing to one reasonable strategy (remain in place, don't evacuate tall residential buildings but instead design and build tall structures so that all plausible fires will be contained and can be fought inside) but then deciding implementation of that strategy is too expensive so you won't bother (these materials are cheaper, and look nicer, so too bad that now the building has no fire integrity).

Unfortunately, despite originally announcing it will "implement in full" any and all recommendations from the investigation into Grenfell, the Tory government decided that actually the recommendations made (e.g. "Personal evacuation plans" for the disabled - figure out what that nice lady in a wheelchair living up on 18 is supposed to do when the elevators are out of action during a fire) were expensive so they just won't.
In theory yes, but in reality it has a plenty of distortion from various sources.

For instance the jitter - the early CDs didn't have a super stable clocks that governed the conversion, so the slight changes of the pace when D/A conversion takes place would create slight distortion and it would also affect intersample peaks making it more apparent. Then you have the non-linearity of D/A converters themselves that were essentially acting like waveshapers.

> Climate change can not be solved by individual action. It's a ridiculous idea to propose this in the first place.

I... No

Again please stop focusing on what I'm not saying.

And btw there are huge environmental impacts that can be made that build up from bet actions of individuals and societal change. Ignoring that is frankly inconsistent or dishonest. It's a different scale to Chinas industrial pollution but I'm bout even talking about that.

Again I'm talking about the way people have these things explained and educated. When I mention the education here is damaged and being self defeatist I get 4 or 5 people explaining how climate policy does or should work show exactly how people "think good".

Again I'm saying you misrepresent something that will go on for years and people will remember you as a liar even if you were exaggerating a truth. Exactly because that's what lying is.

Utility designation is a common but vapid "solution" that doesn't define what relevant restrictions would be placed, let alone how it would help. It can mean anything from trying price fixing for ad revenues to effectively spam and censorship bureaus. Or worse - demanding that their prioritization engine not prioritize! A plan so bad it sounds like a blind copy from the concept of it applying to ISPs, a domain where it would make actual sense.

Because it's one-sided and unscientific.

The kind of feminist-infected soft fields that make up those terms and agendas (HR, "Communication Studies",...) only really care about women, and by 'caring' about women I really mean they care very much about how easy it's for women to be corporate drones while thinking it's "Empowering". Have you ever heard about "Unconscious Bias Against Men"? Of course not, nobody gives a shit about men.

It's unscientific because the conclusion is already formed before the data is gathered. Women get more questions about family than men? That must mean that the interviewers think women are baby factories unfit for work, SEXISM. Women get less questions about family than men? That must mean that the interviewers think career-driven women are barren and childless and without prospect for having a family of their own, SEXISM. No matter what happens, they have already made up their mind, women are oppressed. The "experiments" and the "data" is just a dress up game to make it look as if they're doing serious science.

Unfortunately, the Prop 13 in 1978 did not then foresee the current abuse by second and multiple (including foreign landlords) homeowners that has artificially created California’s severe housing [and housing ownership] shortage.

It will require yet another state proposition on the ballot to be able to revise Prop 13 into limiting this privilege of having the 1% valuation tax cap applied only to just those first homeowners.

It would be cool if more often we asked the following questions about new tech:

Nothing in the article is particularly egregious. The only odd one is using Python’s “call your children’s parents” super() for code-reuse and mixins but it’s perfectly normal and pythonic.

Having used Pheonix for one of my small failed startups in the past (failed because of the business, not because of the tech) - I loved every second of it. It was super easy to use and extremely quick to be productive. Ecto is a fantastic ORM, the OTP system is great to build on, and LiveView is magic. As a solo dev, it is a true isomorphic web dev experience with a nice clean language and structure to build in. Even tests work.

I just wish I could get a job in it.

I like art. I don't like this work, but that should be ok. It should be ok to not like stuff.

I've spent a fair bit of time in art galleries. I enjoy it. I don't enjoy the art snobbery though. I don't know why people gaze endlessly into paintings and try to discern the meaning or whatever. It's not that deep.

I don't understand the hype around the Mona Lisa. I don't understand why people stand in line for hours and then crowd around this one — in my opinion — bland painting to snap that shot and check it off their list that they've seen that one piece. The Centre Pompidou is just down the road and it's full of way more interesting stuff!

My father is an artist, and any time his work is featured in a gallery he is asked to describe the meaning, the inspiration, the message, and countless other pretentious questions intended to draw in a totally unnecessary air of sophistication. His response is the same every time.

"I don't know. I see shit and I paint it."

I'm massively into wine. Similarly, I find wine snobbery frustrating. I have enjoyed the world's best wines. From Ukraine, from Georgia, from Moldova, Italy, France… But the people who clutch their pearls when you pair a dry red with your grilled salmon? Fuck those people especially.

What's beautiful about art, and wine, and music, is that there's an entire universe of it. There's something for everybody. And it's definitely ok to not like some of it.
It's the old usability vs security compromise.

My advice (which of course comes with the caveat that it's from a random Internet stranger so objectively not backed by anything) would be to focus on building up traction, figuring out small-scale funding now if that's what's keeping you from focusing on this company, and then applying to YC some time later when you're so busy with the company that you feel it might actually be better if you don't get accepted. Investors want to invest in businesses and founders that aren't desperate for their money and connections.

Tainter does discuss this, and rejects it (incorrectly imo).
Operator overloading is generally harmful to reading code in my experience.
The differential equations course was one of the most baffling experiences I ever had. The professor on the first day told us the course would be rote, as opposed to proofs, and every day he copied the methods to the chalkboard. He specifically instructed us to copy them verbatim into our notebooks. In this way there was not a lot to discuss, and from time to time the professor would gently steer us back to merely copying and memorizing the methods, even though no one had questioned him out loud. The methods were entirely disconnected. I had no indication of how they were derived or what the original motivation might be. What a differential equation was or why I wanted to "solve" one---this generated a second equation---was a mystery. None of the problem in the physics sequence looked like this. The engineering students claimed to have them, but reminded me that "this was all done by computers now." In the textbook there were no word problems, only formulas, and so I was never able to infer what this might all be about. The problems gave no opportunity for insight beyond recognizing the form. On the homework I manipulated one formula into another. On the test I did the same thing. Through memorization, I got an A in the course. I never encountered a differential equation before or since.

An ability to send all forms of information (video, images, text) simply and efficiently in an Enterprise setting. Unfortunately it isn’t so efficient due to being Electron-based and introduces more problems of its own. I can’t recall if it does real-time video and transcription to text.

I think Teams will really win out as it’s IM, collaboration tools, real-time tools, and transcription services are the best IMO.
Isn't this the risk of "free form" rather than pre structured interviews and something that is easily fixable by changing interview style?
And that no one knows it. Unless you're prepared to do all the coding yourself or pay top dollar to recruit it's best to avoid exotic languages.
I don't really understand on what basis they're making the claim that these differences are due to unconscious biases. The entire thing seems to be completely made up.
I mean there are going to be a lot of creative approaches to something ubiquitous, I agree. But even IRC you can create your own channel and invite people to it. Slack is slicker, but the whole use case is still dramatically underserved.

This provides some perspective to our paleoarcheology of today. Imagine we find something odd from a past civilization that we can't explain (like a large complex of concrete with rolling forms and sharp angles in the desert). The natural tendency would be to assume this was a collective thing, a place built by many for some mysterious purpose. But humans have been doing art almost as long as they have been around.

I would guess it's just as possible that we sometimes come across something from a single individual, built with the express purpose of making people think. It's kind of interesting.

I'm also in tha stage of finally found and chosen good app&service idea that has potential to make millions$ of revenue. I would need an investor of 60 - 100k$ to be able to concentrate on it 100% and make it polished and at fast phase.

Yes indeed, my natural preference is to do it on the client – but then I can't figure out a way to unit test the behavior. I don't particularly love React overall, but it does make it easy to write tests for client-side UX logic without needing to use headless browsers. This is a fairly big deal, as headless browser tests are slow and cumbersome.
This is a very good point. The unifying mechanism for notifications was generally missing across all the varying tools but something like Slack means it’s impossible to miss content no matter how hard you try.
Because Chrome has such a dominant market share, Safari doesn’t get credit when they implement features first. No one’s going to use or even hear about a Safari-only feature because the people who are making the websites are using Chrome.

On the other hand, if Safari doesn’t support a feature Chrome supports, then that’s a problem for Safari because developers are going to be using that feature.

There’s this sort of naive attitude that “all browsers should just implement all the specifications.” But in reality all browsers take a fair amount of leeway with what specifications they implement, what timeline they implement them in, and etc. There are plenty of fundamental differences between engines that effect browser compatibility, that haven’t been addressed for years.

“Safari is behind Chrome” is just way too linear of a narrative. Web compatibility is a patchwork of over a thousand specifications.

A class taught like this for me was what got me to quit physics and switch to CS.
How much does it cost to switch? How much effort are you putting into making sure there are no pathological cases while encoding and decoding that have an outsized effect on resource use? How much risk are you willing to take that you don't lose any customer data? If you recompress stored data, how much are you willing to pay in compute? Recompressing at AWS scale is enough IO to burn through many thousands of disks in aggregate—how much does all that wear cost? How much tooling do you need to rewrite?

Let's say you save a few hundred million dollars a year after switching. The cost to switch is almost certainly more than a few hundred million dollars. When you make that kind of investment—especially when you're moving away from a very boring technology—you want to be damn sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into.
I want one. Damn hotchips always has stuff I want and then can never afford even when it gets to market
What is wrong with the two difference usages of a function? If you treat function as a system that produces an output given an input - does it matter if it is a graph or a probability distribution?
I used the ticket as a cheap way to travel from Austria to Poland via Germany this summer. Overall the experience was great. Using the DB app you just apply the "Regional trains only" setting and it will plan you an itinerary, telling you what stops to switch trains and what platform number to go to.

Ours was 5 trains over the course of 10 hours (Munich to Berlin). Every train was on time. Surprisingly every train was a different model. Most resembled US light rail trains. The Munich train was insanely packed even though we arrived 15 minutes early. The rest we managed to find seats. The vibration and noise were almost non-existent.

Would recommend.

Yes. Although the main story line can be done without paying a single cent, the endgame nudges you towards real money shop all the time. After some point credit card becomes the main progression path.

I personally enjoyed playing through story on iPad, but was unimpressed with the endgame. It is very shallow, limited to the same generated locations or dungeons you have already seen. There is virtually no build diversity either. Not sure why someone would pay money for the experience.
HTTP represents any documents as ... drum roll ... text.

It is literally in the name of the specification.

If it were meant to be a document transfer protocol, HDTP would have been a better acronym.
Zstandard doesn't accept multiple files at all, so it's an archiving format's job to convert files into byte sequences and compress them accordingly. It looks like that 7z wasn't able to deduplicate entirely or partially identical files, in the other words zstd could never know that it is compressing almost identical files over and over.
Yeah, but will it be pay pr view?

I'm not sure what you'd consider superior to this. If I have a window on Desktop 2 and make it fullscreen, I usually want it to go back to Desktop 2 when I exit it.
No; it’s simply my last name, which shares a common root word (“falcon”) and the end spelling (-v, -va, -ve vs -ff, -w) varies with past regional dialect (ff or w being the Germanized form).

Your video pretty extensively documents that it wasn't for the "common good" or "us", the Nazis were explicit and he quotes them on it, as being keen to literally kill orphans, whores, the deaf and a whole list of other people with less "value". Not train them or teach them to provide more value, to kill them.

And even the ones they didn't kill, would get a reward only to the degree they contributed to the warlike plundering society they envisaged as their destiny (not one say voted on by the people themselves).

And this is the Germans they were talking about! The Slavs that they allowed to live would be literal slaves for the production of food to export to the Germans (the one's they hadn't killed).

Just to clarify: I wasn't using Gimp over a modem.

The ability to run graphical applications across a network may have distorted my impressions, but I am pretty sure I am remembering correctly. The modem experiences were largely things like previewing papers and preparing graphs, neither of which are terribly dependent upon interactivity. It is also worth keeping in mind that many early widget libraries were much simpler than what came later.

I believe the second question is crucial here. In many places I worked it "solves" the problem of people who feel they need an answer now and I should stop whatever I'm doing now and give them my undistracted attention. In other words, Slack is used to prevent me from working.

The main problem here is the expectation of synchronous communication. In email, async is sort of built in - nobody expects my answer 5 seconds after they clicked "Send". With Slack, they get nervous if they have to wait too long.
