There are drug addiction pipelines.

Get in a car accident -> hurt back -> prescribed opiates -> get addicted -> prescription stops -> seek street alternatives -> move up the food chain, from buying pills to fentanyl -> lose everything -> end up on the street

Loved one dies -> super depressed -> looking to numb the pain -> starts drinking heavily at bars -> exposed to the drug scene -> offered a bump of cocaine one day -> feels good -> start to do cocaine -> coke dealer has fentanyl to -> you try it -> on the street

Get out of the military -> racked with PTSD -> suicidal -> being around consumerist Americans who know nothing of danger or the dark side of life is alienating -> feeling all alone -> same as loved one dies pipeline -> on the street in a tent draped with the American flag.

There are also ones like:

Irresponsible teenager -> raised in single mother household -> no good role models -> raised by T.V. -> doesn't known how to navigate the world -> ends up in a minimum wage job -> everyone there is doing drugs because their life is so bleak (I've seen this personally)-> nothing to look forward to -> most of pay goes to rent -> feel trapped and abused -> confused, doesn't know how this happened -> does drugs like his coworkers because he feels disposable -> starts fucking up on the job -> no more willingness to keep working -> on the street, begging for his fix.

*Idealistic middle class college grad -> going to save the world -> faces the world -> crippling despair -> can't fix this mess -> hopeless -> give up and drop out -> ×_× drug scene to street.

There are many more pipelines.

It's not simply a "drug problem." There are a lot of pipelines that inevitably lead people there. Once people end up there, they are typically very hard to fix because they have been knocked out of the standard career pipeline. Who wants to hire an ex homeless person with a huge job gap? They feel hopeless, like there's not a place for them anymore in society. Once you've accepted this, you stare long into the abyss. With that comes a great deal of trauma. Making these people very unstable, unlike ordinary citizens who have never danced along the knife's edge. This gives them a bad reputation because you can give them a job and home, but they will often keep going back to their old ways. They are broken inside and a job and house won't fix what has happened to them.

Any time I want to get a side project actually done, I'll use Phoenix + Live View. It's effective and efficient (from both a dev perspective, a server resources perspective, and a client load speed perspective). You don't have to worry about an API or setting up react etc but have enough interactivity to get your idea across.

I don't think it's any fanatical following, it looks like a lot of other people are in the same boat as me with it. It's just good and effective.
The player's families are mentioned sometimes, but it happens quite often at big national team games (Euros, World Cup). E.g. Modric's wife and kids were shown many times at the 2018 World Cup. Eden Hazard's family, and his parent's history, was also mentioned multiple times at that same World Cup.

It was even more prominent with Kasper Schmeichel, the Danish goalkeeper, whose father is a former goalkeeper. The father was shown extremely frequently celebrating his son's saves, and after a penalty shootout where Kasper performed very well, the comments were exactly "look at how much his dad is celebrating, he must be really proud of his son".
It literally doesn't have a single use case, and its narrative changes every 2 weeks as the previous one is invalidated. Remember when it was an inflation hedge but then it collapsed 70% during the single most inflationary period in decades? Haven't heard that narrative in a while now. It's a religion, a political movement, and a high-beta way to speculate on USD liquidity in the global financial system - not a technology. The cult of the extremely inefficient linked list.
the infura bit is interesting. Might be the leftpad of crypto?

Every web3 tutorial will blindly say to use it. Makes it easy of course!

And then it is entrenched and has power.

Would like to read more articles about their influence as it all sounds quite interesting from a popcorn perspective.
> First, there are way more examples of complex societies collapsing than I was aware of.

To add to the discussion, I submit this entertaining docu-series[0] describing the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations around the eastern Mediterranean.

The authors proffer that one possible cause for their near-total collapse could have been a breakdown within Bronze Age society's well-structured and complex systems from which recovery was simply not possible.

Apologies to the history purists for the inevitable inaccuracies to be found herein but this was an approachable series for me as a codemonkey.

My favorite DOS GUI was PC/GEOS / GeoWorks[1]. It was the GUI behind the interface on the original AOL CDs. It had a nice office suite that ran very well on even low end hardware of the day.

I thought it was far superior to Windows at the time, and never understood why it wasn't more popular. It too has been open-sourced and is actively maintained[2].

I mean... The law is riddled with words like "reasonable", "likely", and "what's possible". No one knows the answers to these until a judge tells them, and it applies on a case by case basis.

Server logs that store an IP address could be a problem. Want to estimate where you're traffic is coming from in the world? Well that may be considered data derived from PII.

Want to try to do some due diligence by salted+hash user ip addresses for DAU analysis or security reasons? Probably can't. Maybe? Why? Because salted and hashed IP addresses can be reversed.

The spirit of the law is great. The actual law sucks and the Internet is a much worse place for it.
The characterization of NEPA as “anti-law” is spot on.

> NEPA doesn’t prevent negative environmental impacts, so long as those impacts have been properly documented and the agency has taken a “hard look” at them - as one agency official described it, “I like to say you can pave over paradise with a NEPA document.”
"Concentration camp" isn't Nazi terminology. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment):

> The term concentration camp originates from the Spanish–Cuban Ten Years' War when Spanish forces detained Cuban civilians in camps in order to more easily combat guerrilla forces. Over the following decades the British during the Second Boer War and the Americans during the Philippine–American War also used concentration camps.

> The term "concentration camp" or "internment camp" is used to refer to a variety of systems that greatly differ in their severity, mortality rate, and architecture; their defining characteristic is that inmates are held outside the rule of law. Extermination camps or death camps, whose primary purpose is killing, are also imprecisely referred to as "concentration camps".

Now I only know about this particular plan what TFA says, but I don't think it's a reach to be concerned about this becoming an internment camp if implemented.
Scale! Do this to two people, no problem you can get a team of folks to dig through their social media, come up with a plan, execute. Might take a day to get a good crisis cooked up.

An AI might be able to run this attack against the entire planet, all at once.

Try to think like a not-human, and give yourself the capacity of near-infinite scale. What could you do? Human systems are hilariously easy to disrupt and you don't need nukes to make that happen.
Can there be enough European visitors to a Florida local paper for them to care about monetization?

I agree with those who say that this is just a worry about having to field GDPR notices from Europeans who have no actual power over them now. But if in the future the paper is bought by a conglomerate that also has a European branch, there might be liability for past acts.

Property owners choose the tenants, and didn't sell to developers sooner. I also advocate co-op housing instead of welfare driven projects, where tenants become members who get equity out of their subsidized co-ops. When you compare the safety and quality neighbourhoods with co-ops to pure public and subsidized housing, they're completely different. Even places with 100y land leases and resale value rules are better for permanent tenants.

Renting a single place for decades is less common in north america, as homeowner friendly policies were designed to prevent the society from sliding into the serfdom that is more traditional in europe and elsewhere. If a homeowner was a problem, neighbours have police. There's a dynamic that works pretty well when there isn't a thumb on the scale.
Then by all means, tell us the solution. Because progressive meccas like San Francisco and Seattle, despite spending more and more money on the homeless every single year, can’t seem to figure out what to do either.
Ohh you wouldn't understand... /s
I remember some video of a 3d renderer that used some kind of inverse perspective equation - stuff got larger the farther away it was. I was surprised that that worked at all but it looked quite funky. The video was of a car driving through a city and/or some hills, unfortunately can't find it right now.
Imo it is not the existence or ineffectiveness of complex laws/regs that leads to problems. Rather, their lack of understanding among the population, and difficulty of execution/implementation.

I actually had a startup project the I shelved specifically aimed at addressing this. Wonder if I should revisit it...

Plenty of group chats existed, but they weren’t easy to setup or use. Sure, if you had a whole team of nothing but software engineers, an IRC server was, and still is, a perfect solution. A completely non-technical company has no chance of setting that up. Slack made IRC that is friendly both for admins and users. They also added lots of modern features like mobile apps, notifications, embeds, etc.

It didn’t solve a problem that hadn’t been solved. It’s just that all the existin solutions were quite stale. They provided an up to date solution to replace the old regime.
There is that... and then there is explicitly mocking the fans who wanted the dark/gritty asthethic.
That's a bit of an oversimplification. If you're OK with remote, it's not hard to find Elixir devs. You can also start with just one or two senior people, and for the rest hire people with web experience (or whatever else is useful) in other languages.

There was a company hiring lots of Elixir devs that actually hired straight from bootcamps - I forgot the name unfortunately, they had an interview on the Elixir blog or Adopting Elixir book or somewhere like that...
I’ve got an LG28” 4K on a 2019 MBP. I’ve never experienced a crash but the monitor will sometimes flick (lose video for a second, sometimes it will also auto lock). Just once or twice a day, so no biggie.

It took me awhile to configure my monitor correctly, and the color is still off. I got my wife the 24” 4K that Apple recommends and it has been much better for her (as a designer, she wouldn’t have put up with wrong colors).
Yes, if you control both sides, always use zstd instead of deflate/gzip/zip.
I don’t know all of the forces surrounding the causes of homelessness. I believe in a country as wealthy as the U.S. everyone deserves food, shelter, and medical care. I live in a city with a homeless problem and it is a problem. They are, by and large, a menace and living around them is unpleasant. Do you live near an encampment and have trash all over the place near your home?

The GP got the facts wrong, but IMO we shouldn't dismiss the sentiment. In particular:

> You are yearning for the simple and inefficient days of yore

The simpler our systems are, the more we can understand them, and the more reliable we can make them. And more often than not, a system that's simple from top to bottom, and kept as small as possible, is efficient. Yes, I do kind of miss the days when HTTP was understandable enough that I could write my own HTTP server directly on top of a TCP socket API. TLS is a necessary evil to protect users from bad actors, but I'm not so sure about HTTP/2. In one of my Rust projects, I just switched from reqwest to ureq (yes, partly prompted by this discussion), and saved ~600K in a release build (already optimized for size). That's 600K of removed code that can't cause bugs anymore. And I know that in my particular use case, HTTP/1.1 will be good enough.
This is a pseudointellectual treatise that advocates for financial privacy by effectively taking all your transactions, publishing them online under a pseudonym, emailing them to every global law enforcement agency and saying "bet you can't figure out who I am!"

Bet you they can.

The idea that a glacial L1, so slow that it would require 75 years to onboard everyone onto the L2 (and the better part of a trillion dollars of electricity), that publicly publishes all transactions for the FBI and the PRC to feed into their automated de-anonmyization tooling is somehow a panacea for privacy - because the author is three punchbowls deep in the Koolaid - I mean I have no idea where to even begin. It beggars belief.

Then they have the gall to mention Hong Kong as though every bit of traffic in and out of the island isn't going through the microscope of the PRC. If you think you can transact under the nose of the PRC on Bitcoin and they'll have no idea what's happening, I've got tokenized ownership of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge [1] to sell you. Those transactions are prosecution futures. They know exactly what they were for, they were letting you make them, and if you're a dissident, look out.

Physical, offline cash is the only true decentralized, censorship resistant peer-to-peer payment method that's difficult to trace. If you believe in privacy, let's throw some weight behind Rohan Grey's ecash. [2]

Isn’t Teams a Microsoft app? It crashing on Mac OS then makes sense, and why wouldn’t that be seen as a Microsoft problem rather than an Apple one?

Good call. You can use this https://github.com/proxidize/proxidize-android
I disagree, so many times I had to do what the examples show on the article: having component displaying slightly differently based on content. Could be a simple as margins/padding, etc., or even colour based on the designer's choices.

So now, instead of adding class to an element to choose how to display those differences of content, I can just use :has() selector. Thus removing even more design concerns from the HTML back into the CSS where it belongs.

There's also a latency component.

Since CPUs are fast enough to deflate in real-time now, your bottleneck for a read is your storage/network.

Reducing the bytes read from storage improves the IO latency.
Hard to go out and experience things when you have no money left after rent and food. Like really, how long are previous generations going to carry on like we actually want to live like this? I would love to have a house and start a family and go on holidays and have a fast car, but guess what, when I’m paying most of my money to a 57 year old who owns 6 houses I don’t have much left for life experiences.

Sorry this comment is not very constructive, I’m just tired of seeing this type of garbage journalism in every mainstream paper in my country and elsewhere.
Example of this:

div:has(b) a

which matches a link inside a div that also contains bold text. The important part is that 'b' and 'a' can be very different places in the hierachy, they don't need to be same like like a 'b + a' selector.
More like 600k (from currently known max upgrades). And good luck doing anything if you don't have team of 8 whales which you need for raids. So more like 4.8 million for proper maxing...

I was just in South Florida, and they have one of the few good setups in the US for this with Miami-Ft Lauderdale-W Palm Beach being close, but far enough that getting on the hellscape of I-95 is daunting. The train is fairly slow by HSR standards, but the routes are straight, and there are only 3 stops total (they are adding Orlando for the 4th).

By contrast, the CA HSR is connecting two dense areas with not much in between. Because of all the “stakeholder” negotiations, it is not straight, and there are far too many stops. There is no need for a stop in LA and Burbank and Palmdale. The Palmdale stop is a bit mindblowing. There are 170k people in Palmdale. You don’t need a stop in Anaheim and Fullerton and Norwalk. I could keep going

This was a real lost opportunity. There should have been 4 stops total: Anaheim-LA-SJ-SF. The result of all this is that the trip is going to take too long to make sense vs a 45 minute flight
I was a firefighter-paramedic for 14 years before I left in 2020. You are spot on about the 150 years of tradition. But I don't think euro style helmets will ever catch on in the U.S.

The department I worked for did not care what helmet a person used as long as it was NFPA approved for firefighting. We had one Lieutenant with 20+ years of service who switched to the Euro style and he absolutely loved it. Said it was the most comfortable helmet he ever wore.

I can tell you a traditional American style helmet is very uncomfortable and when I was in full bunker gear with an air pack on, the back of my helmet always hit my air tank not allowing me to look up very well.

During training when we would have to repel we had a safety belay attached to the back of the class 3 harness. As soon as you went over the side the belay rope would push the back of the helmet up causing the head to push forward (chin to chest). Just completely uncomfortable and awkward. You had to spend a few seconds to get adjusted so you could focus on the actual training and getting yourself unfucked from the belay rope that wouldn't be there in an actual situation.
Still some of the best (pseudo-) random dungeon generation I've ever played. That functionality alone probably accounts for over 90% of the time I spent replaying it.

It's strange to me that so few games in the genre seem to do this as well, over 25 years later. Hades is supposed to be good, but for some reason it doesn't look like something I'd enjoy. Maybe I'll pick it up on sale at some point and find out.
Same could be said for Safari though.

If you can rely on the name of the protocol as an accurate description, then LDAP would actually be "lightweight", UDP packets would be assembled by users, and SSL would be secure.

If HTTP represents documents as text, then the "hypertext" part of the name becomes misleading, because you can't put hyperlinks in plain text. That is: the protocol is misnamed, because the leading "HT" stands for "Hypertext", not "Hyper Text". It's designed to transfer HTML.
I'm one of the 3 maintainers of the French open-data transportation access point (at https://transport.data.gouv.fr/?locale=en), which runs on top of Elixir & Phoenix.

I'm not a big fan of surveys and I'm not sure I've responded to this one actually, but: my current feeling around Phoenix is that it will be my go-to framework for anything web related for the years to come, but also Elixir will be, for larger topics (ML, embedded, data-viz, scripting, etc).

There are a number of important points (to my taste) that comes out of my use of Elixir & Phoenix :

- the maintenance story has been quite good (maintenance work is one of my main line of work since year 2k, I have used many stacks, including Java, .Net, RubyOnRails etc). Upgrades and refactoring & moving code around has been quite easy overall, once you get the stuff right (using Mox etc).

- Phoenix, Ecto & Elixir are a good "generalist web framework" for a lot of use

- Compared to some stacks (non-evented Ruby & Python, for instance), having a part of your app work as a proxy for domain-specific uses, is not a problem, and does not even require you to split that part from the main app (example at https://github.com/etalab/transport-site/tree/master/apps/un..., where we proxy/cache GTFS-RT protobuf & SIRI XML feeds behind rules, adding rate-limiting & hiding target server authentication schemes)

- Similarly, anything real-time is at least initially trivial. For instance, creating this real-time view of moving vehicles (https://transport.data.gouv.fr/explore) with 70+ GTFS-RT feeds has been quite easy (PR at https://github.com/etalab/transport-site/pull/2224). The server side is like "EventMachine done right", and the live updates are broadcasted to each client via web socket. No extra server (e.g. AnyCable) or anything is needed.

From a perf/ops POV, the amount of topics you do not even have to think about is quite important, which is very nice.

Overall I can see myself sticking to this stack for the next 15 years or so, without much worries (I've been coding since 1984 as a kid, so I have a good idea to know when to keep a framework around or not :P)
08 shook the whole world, 01 not even close.
Over thinking it, I think this is probably the "right" solution to multiple inheritance where there are conflicting attributes.

I suspect it is a hard pre-commit check but you would want to only inherit from classes with no conflict- then if there are it is down to this approach (!)
The examples you provide tend to lead to poor outcomes.

Shame was the light touch prevention method. Other methods extract a higher toll.
Thanks for the context!
