Taking it from a personal to a social-critique is a fairly big shift. One is about the rat-race & the will & struggle to keep oneself strongly advancing. The other is more about the value of society as a whole, an assessment of the values one finds about.

I'm utterly decoupled from the experience here, & could be vastly off. But just looking at the slogans, the shift from introspection to extrospection was immediately notable to me.

Two negative-ish things of note, from the first couple minutes in: "200 people on forums" is, early on (27s into a 45m program), introduced as the core "bai lan movement". Honestly just a weird line that undersells. Second, this is Mediacorp, "a Singaporean public broadcast service" (as Youtube informs me). Almost all media has a slant & I'm not sure of this one, but something to be cautious of.

One of the first people interviewed's primary complaint seems to be how boring it is doing the same thing every single day every single week. It's always seemed a waste to me, how industrialization's desire to make us all into X Y or Z shaped cogs in a machine prevents us from gaining real experience, from getting exposure to different pieces of the system. I've always fantasized about companies that constantly remix teams, that cast people (temporarily) into positions/roles well outside their norm. The happy-warrior mode of operation should embrace dynamism, but most organizations involve prestige by owning an ever-increasing chunk of the org-chart that you keep in-line; terrible.
> Using a clutch just right can produce amazing amount of torque just when you need it.

Nailed it. Not to dismiss those romanticizing clutching and shifting, but that is incidental. The entire point of a manual transmission is performance. It's control over torque that delivers it.

I love that I can pump RPMs into the red before clutching into gear, the vigor of that power, G forces pulling the body against the seat, chirping wheels in 4th gear at 70mph, going up a steep hill with a quickness. (Crud, did I just romanticize torque?)

I find it hard to believe the ICE manual will ever die completely so long as there is a rally to race. No matter how quick an automatic electric is, it's not going to beat decent drivers of ICE manuals. But hopefully someday they'll all be rice burners, for the enviro.
When I bought a manual about 25 years ago, I had tried out a stick a few times but had never seriously driven one. I definitely wasn't comfortable in anything like 5 minutes. Especially on non-flat roads; for the first month or so I planned my commute a bit around not being in stop and go traffic especially on any hills.
Call me a teenager because, years later, I still enjoy the things you mention about driving stick.

The difference is that I own two cars: a boring and comfy automatic for DD and a manual Porsche for the weekends.

What? Funnily enough, my XMPP ID and main E-Mail happen to be exactly the same.

That is the only one out of the list I actually agree with, though I think that could be fixed by clients.

"No, they send their complete state."

Oh, so that is what is happening ?

When I see these extremely long URLs I know, of course, that someone is being clueless and sloppy and I know, of course, that whatever they are embedding could be hashed or compressed to 64 (or fewer) characters ...

But you are saying that what I am witnessing is the entire state of the transaction is being passed in the URL ?

I guess I thought that they were passing multiple third party tracking strings all in the same URL and that different parts of the string were actually for different consumers of that data ...

Unless your company is doing things on the level of trafficking minors or racketeering, then the information that comes out will be run-of-the-mill oopsies. Having worked a bit in DevSecOps, I can tell you that storing clear-text passwords in places like version control files is much more common in companies than anyone would hope. Also, auth is just hard, in part because it forces servers to be stateful.

Because companies have a wide range of options for dealing with the consequences of leaks, they'll prioritize security last instead of shifting left. Some common responses by companies include:

- denying there's a problem

- covering up the problem

- acknowledging the problem in a blog and demand to be praised for the disclosure

- blaming employees for the mistake

To make a good plan, you can break down concerns piecemeal. What's the worst case scenario if attackers get a hold of employee passwords? What happens when users trust tampered content?

A long time ago I was on a project that used SQlite in production. At the time WAL mode didn't exist and the writer blocked the reads as well. We worked around the single writer issue by having multiple db's open. In our case it worked out due to the way our data was partitioned, I'm not necessarily advocating using that technique these days.

I noticed the same things recently, to make the matter worse I think we reached a point where it’s easier to have a conversation in countries considered « anti free speech » than it is in western countries.

What always surprises me the most is the orchestration. When someone get wiped out of the internet, it comes from everywhere almost at the same time. Under normal conditions we would expect different social networks to react differently based on how favorable they are to free speech but somehow they now all have the same rules.

And everybody keep repeating the same mantra to justify it

1. X is not an opinion it’s a crime

2. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences

All in all, I will say it, I am enjoying more freedom when I am living in China or Thailand than when I am living in France.

Plenty of people say things I disagree with, but constant censorship prevent me from being able to approach other peoples ideas from a different viewpoint.

As a libertarian I can’t live in Europe anymore, it’s impossible to think there, ideas, truth, lies, wrong all disappeared to account for « feeling »

100% this. My 5-speed Jetta TDi was actually hard to stall w/ all its torque (even at idle). I learned on a 3-cyl. Geo Metro, though, and it was laughably easy to stall.

Somebody would! (Or rather, some thing.) There are a lot of smartcontract liquidity pools in Ethereum that facilitate trade between two tokens. The set an exchange rate by a formula that only looks at how much of each token is currently in the pool, not at prevailing market price[1].

So if and when it's apparent that Tether will be worthless, there will be a mad dash to dump it in those LPs in exchange for the other tokens, which was what happened to TerraUSD [2].

Here's a list of the LPs that have Tether as one token, just on Uniswap:

It's true but not realistic as soon as the website is more than a blog or a static content website. The goal of good web building is to manage to deliver the most value to consumers and the business, and removing what's not needed, and if you add anything, you make it on a performance oriented way. Bloat will always infiltrates itself, so you must clean again and again. I operate e-commerce websites and we went through multiple iterations with two goals in minds : performance ( speed / core vitals / seo ), and developer productivity (I'm basically the only tech guy, and I'm also the CEO managing 10 people). Our current e-commerce stack runs 99% on Phoenix Live view. As our market is only in 1 country (Philippines) we optimize for round trip network with servers the closest possible ( no decent hosting company in the country so we host in HK at datapacket on a beefy dedicated ). Site loads in less than a second, navigation is nearly immediate thanks to live view. We removed most JS trackers as we built our own server side tracking pipeline in Elixir that sends unified data where it's needed ( it took us like 2 days to build ). Since that move Google loves us and we are the top ranking website for our niche in the country on all our key products.
One key thing also is that our target market is wealthy so they enjoy fast data / connection, this helps in terms of determining our target.
Performance is not absolute. It's relative to your product, your market and your location.
It really bothers me that NASA releases these along with text that implies that there is a "popular misconception that there is no sound in space" when that is in fact true. They are mapping visual data about gas density to audio tones and pretending that is what you would hear if your ear was situated there. It's not even the correct mapping (radial and not radiating pressure waves) for what a layperson would call "sound". It's just a very fancy music box... which is very nice but we don't claim that a music box is somehow listening to the sound of steel atoms.

I've seen this all over twitter and, while it's very popular and very pretty, I think the description of it does the public a disservice bordering on the propagation of pseudoscience. This article at least correctly calls it a "sonification" which is a nice corollary to "visualization" and does describe what is actually going on.

No. If your new car is ugly, you can blame only yourself: for failing to purchase a Porsche 911 instead.
>Since when has it involved that? Even back when cellphones were repairable, trying to fix a broken battery by manipulating the cells is a suicide mission. I get that you're trying to illustrate that "density has a repairability cost"

Sure, for a small battery pack like that, but an EV's battery pack is made of self contained replaceable cells. It would be perfectly possible to replace the individual cells and save the exterior casing and any internal electronics. But the official dealer process is almost certainly going to replace the entire thing as a single unit.

My point was't "density has a repairability cost", it was that sometimes for the sake of ease, repeatability or reliability a manufacturer may decide to bundle individually replaceable components into a single module that will be replaced as a whole unit as part of the repair process and that can be a reasonable decision. We see this all the time with cars. Transmissions are rebuildable, but usually you just replace the whole thing. Same with alternators. Engines are absolutely rebuildable, but if you blow yours, the dealer will almost certainly just replace it wholesale. Wiring harnesses can be patched, but the service manuals will tell you to replace the whole thing. A single switch in your steering wheel controls might be broken, but likely the entire control cluster will be swapped. These things don't make the car "less repairable", nor does the fact that the manufacturer's manual only tells you how to replace the whole thing, and won't sell you anything other than the whole part mean you can't piece it together yourself or that they're somehow hindering you from repairing your car.

Likewise, the battery being bundled with the top case is a choice made for a reason. I suppose we can assume it's because Apple is trying to make it unrepairable, but that flies in the face of the fact that they need to make repairs themselves. It's clear apple can make it separable (see the Macbook Air repair options), and the article in question even says Apple plans on doing the same for the other Macbooks. so it really feels like a lot of this is complaining that Apple hasn't gone out of their way to tool up an entirely new set of assemblies outside of what they provide their own in house repair people, and assuming this is do to maliciousness rather than simply doing the most reasonable thing which is opening up their own official processes and parts to the public.
They will always be important to doing your job well, so probably not? That's not to say we can't get better, we certainly should.

Trouble making the mental adjustment, or possibly trouble with something else and she's pointing at money because it is easy to count.

I think if I suddenly came into some money from work, my wife wouldn't be telling people I "won the lottery," she would tell them I "shrewdly selected the right startup and was a critical piece of its success, isn't he so smart?"

However it sounds like if he did talk to a divorce lawyer he would win the divorce lottery so maybe he's been the shrewd one all along!
Let me preface this all with: I’m not an expert, and this is based on my intuition and understanding of noise cancellation technology and how sound works. I’m an idiot, take this with a grain of salt.

I dont think this is really possible, but probably not for the reason you think.

Noise cancellation works by picking up surrounding sounds using microphones and then generating the same sounds 180 degrees out of phase. So, we could get rid of the microphones processing sounds in real-time and instead we use something that can identify the song (like Shazam) as well as the position in the song, and then use reference audio for that song to play it back out of phase. So sure, that seems at least possible.

But the audio file itself _doesn’t describe exactly what you hear_. The acoustics of the room, your position in the room, the speakers, the amplifier, and I’m sure many other things all color and change what you’re hearing. In short, I’m not so sure that raw audio data out of phase _actually_ matches what you’re hearing in all situations. You’d still want a microphone.

I don't think a site where the key content is large (relative to text) can be expected to deliver that content super fast.

However, quickly loading the bulk of the website and perhaps having a placeholder for the image that has yet to load will still make the site better. I remember seeing something that allowed you to create really blurry placeholders that are tiny, but I can't find it now.

Were there fewer crashes when these cars were the norm? No. [1,2,3,4]

The number of crashes per year has remained remarkably stable year over year, despite the number of driven miles and number of cars rising enormously. Conversely the number of fatalities due to crashes has dropped considerably.

So despite driving many, many more miles then they did previously, people aren't dying in crashes at a greater rate (total crashes is harder to track due to intermittent and inconsistent reporting data).

You made all that up. Why?
We may be the exception, although it’s only been 13 years so far. Her and I didn’t ever combine our finances other than to open a joint savings account, so it’s never been a discussion of “we need to partition our finances”, it’s just never been a discussion of “we need to collapse our finances into a single pot”.

We do have a significant income disparity (on our taxes I believe it was about 3:1 for me this year), and navigate it mostly by just having an asymmetric set of financial responsibilities. We’re both responsible for our own individual expenses (e.g. cell phone bill, car insurance, credit card debt). She covers the mortgage for our modest house, I cover pretty much everything else (house and cabin insurance, property tax, car insurance for our shared POS construction-hauler van, natural gas, electricity, water/sewer, charitable donations, etc). I know what the mortgage costs, she probably doesn’t know exactly what most of the stuff I pay for costs but I’d be open with her if she was curious.

After all of the expenses are covered, we’re pretty much free to do what we want with what’s left over without consulting with the other person. We’re both also, I guess, sufficiently responsible that it’s a rare situation to run low. We’ve had a few unexpected expenses over the years that left the joint account in a bit of an ugly place but refilled it over the next few months and lived a little lean to make sure the emergency fund was there.

For COVID, her monthly income was reduced to almost zero. We’re in Canada, so she had CERB ($2k monthly). I topped up the joint account and told her she was welcome to take what she needed. She did transfer maybe $1k a few times to cover a few things, but mostly was self sufficient.

I dunno! Maybe it’s not a situation for everyone but it’s been super smooth. When we first started dating and moved in together, I was a grad student with a paltry scholarship, but our expenses were quite low as well. She got by and covered a few more things than I did, and now it’s going the opposite way and there’s no resentment or anything as far as I can tell. We’re both pretty good about sharing when we’re feeling something’s out of balance, so I suspect I’d know about it if she didn’t feel like I was pulling my weight.
