>Finally, by the way, if you think your job is underpaid, then quit

You heard it here working people and single mothers, if you don't like your job just quit and become a libertarian philosophy professor, like the author! Problem solved.

Seriously this is atrocious. I would expect someone in that profession to question his own unquestioned assumptions, yet he boldly states:

" In our world, though, your income comes from other people. The other people start out with money that belongs to them and that they have no obligation to give to you. Your being morally virtuous doesn’t make them obligated to just give you their money. I assume this as obvious; if you disagree, ask yourself how often you have given someone money just for being virtuous."

that's not our world, that's a videogame. In our world people don't magically start out with money, they inherit a lot of it, and who is to say they have no obligation to give it to anyone else? how often do people give someone money above market rates for expressing virtue? All the time. Ethically sourced food, "Buy American!", sponsor an open source project, religious folks are well aware of the concept of a tithe, and so on.

>Due to an unfortunate sequence of events, only one towing company is operating at this moment. The driver wants $1000 to tow your car. The normal price, which obtains when the towing companies have to compete with each other, is $75. The $1000 price seems unfairly high.

Correlation does not imply causation. The fact that Libreoffice can open binary proprietary formats does not automatically imply that all formats it uses are binary and proprietary. DOCX is an open standard.
Yeah, I tried Win11, very MacOS, but if I wanted a Mac, I will buy a Mac, not a PC. So I uninstalled it and went back to Win10. Maybe by Win12 it should be good again.
> I do not want emoji on my computer, and I hate Unicode.

Ok well good for you but that’s akin to saying “I don’t want other languages than English on my computer and I hate the color Green”. It’s completely irrelevant what you prefer, the point of general computing is that it’s not for you, it’s for everybody. If you are writing software for everybody then I’m sorry but xenophobic assumptions just don’t hold.

Because really, what’s hidden in the meaning behind your post is “I don’t want people who speak languages other than English to be able to communicate as easily as me”. I’m sure that’s not your intent but it is the direct result of your actions.
Old Street Roundabout is a lot better than it used to be. Completely segregated cycle lanes, cycle-only traffic lights, etc. I wouldn't let it put you off cycling. Do the route on a weekend and see how you feel.

There are ways around it too. Going west to east several years ago when OSR was still a death trap I would go Bath St -> Peerless St -> Vestry St -> Haberdasher St.
Same with Evernote. Massive ‘growth’ on the free plan. No good way to capitalize, so they just started deleting features and locking people’s content in. There is no regular export to get everything out and you need to jump through a lot of hoops. I wish I never updated that app…

Let's be honest, it rarely works that way.

However i agree, what facebook did here is "shoot fist, ask for forgiveness later".
> It is not that Truth is impossible to find, rather that undeceiving the self is difficult.

I feel that people are misrepresenting the issue. What they seek is not the objective truth. This is about politics, and the goal is to impose their will onto others, whether they are onboard ir not. Consequently, "seeking the truth" is being used as an euphemism for "persuade to join my political cause to further my personal political goals". Hence the army of militants who insist that the hypothetical existence of a mythical laptop is relevant because that is the propaganda wedge to dislodge a political rival from holding office.
> Convenience trumps everything

Quality food and drink are extremely sensitive to timing, as in minutes matter, and if you are talking about a developed country keep in mind that consumers are sophisticated and getting more so by year, they are aware about it and pay attention to it and this will be reflected in the market.

If convenience really trumped everything we would all be eating dry instant noodle out of the packaging. Delivery may remain a thing in the suburbs but it would always be a second rate option.

The article fails to tackle or even acknowledge is that our economic system is nothing like the libertarian ideal free market. The author doesn't examine any practical realities about how wages are formed.

The conclusion, "Stop randomly claiming that people are “underpaid”" is totally unearned.
There is a reason many articles and extensions exist to avoid those sites in search results.
Watching nerds puzzle through basic economics theory from first principles - ignoring massive bits of the picture that they have no idea about - over and over again, to try to justify the excesses of consumer corporate late-stage capitalism through profoundly simplistic and naive arguments that fall apart upon any exposure to the daylight of reality, is so tedious that I can't imagine actually going through and rebutting every point. It's like trying to explain how database indexing works to a goatherder.

It's not even worth it as an exercise in convincing anybody else of anything, because you either understand the practical (much less moral and ethical) problems inherent in modern capitalism, or you're probably not terribly bright to begin with, and it's a waste of effort trying to make you understand.

It's much more fun just to point at you and laugh, especially because we're all so trained to regard capitalists and their bootlickers as intelligent that the look of confusion and outrage on their faces when you tell them to go sit at the kiddie table because the grownups are talking is worth its weight in gold.
I would strongly disagree. Even in cases where the vast majority of the wealth was “created” by an individual not inherited (gates, musk) - even in those cases, their ability to invent or innovate was largely a result of their parents wealth helping them be in the right place at the right time.

I don't have that success rate. But what usually helps is enrolling a fingerprint twice a year. I guess it has to do with having dryer hands in the winter. So I typically redo a fingerprint near the end of autumn and at the end of spring and I am fine, so I am also near a 100% recognition rate.

I also only enroll one fingerprint, because I use a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID when I have the MacBook docked, the Touch ID sensor is always in the same position relative to my hands.

Regardless, I still hope we'll have Face ID on Macs one day.

Yes. Agreed and I also think fb overplayed their hand and got too friendly with republicans.

However when Zuckerberg goes on Joe Rogan assume things are carefully planned and rehearsed; and a statement/story like this is intended and the politics of it is well understood.

So I guess they are doubling down.

You mandate that anyone who puts up a tower has to sell physical space and connectivity for base stations of competitors on those same towers at a fair price.

Charging to recoup the cost of the infrastructure = ok.

Charging more to force competitors out or to build their own, wholly redundant, towers = illegal.
Who charges 12/year? It's more like 10/month and 100/year :)

Centaurs are ridiculous fantasy animals that make no sense.

This is exemplified perfectly by the reverse centaur: a regular human body with a horse torso, including front legs and head, attached to the human shoulder and neck.

Or a centicentaur: a millipede-like creature made out by attaching 100 horse bodies, with a single human torso at the front. If the centicentaur programs in C/C++ they only get 99 horse bodies.
But a lot of that JS is for ads and tracking/analytics, the latter of which also ties into ads and marketing.
Maybe we should mandate that in labelling guidelines on consumer products, the name and logo of the ultimate parent owner of the company selling the product should be prominently featured alongside whatever the regular brand is.

Many products already do it eg “TheThing: By TheParentCompany”. But yes maybe consumers should be aware who ultimately benefits from their purchase of a product, and easily be able to decide to buy more independent brands.
Agreed - kitchens and bathrooms cost much more than an empty room. Homes with lots of windows cost more as well. And then you need to consider other aspects like the quality of existing materials, how far away from replacement they are, etc. Where I live no one really uses square feet because the land is so expensive as well and the homes are old and 1 may be recently renovated and another may need $400k+ in renovation work.

A Newer Take on Productivity
> The television stations and newspapers back in the day absolutely maintained the Overton window and constructed narratives that supported the the ruling class. To call this "content curation" is ignorant at best.

It's also ignorant at best to pass off "maintaining the Overton window" as being censorship. Whether you like it or not, there's a finite amount of airtime and an infinite amount of content that can be presented. Picking what goes in is not the same as picking what stays out. See as an example what's aired by some peculiar media companies.
Arguably, after what we've learned about the FAA after the 737-Max crashes, FAA approval should be considered a red flag instead of sufficient proof of safety, especially when it come to Boeing airframes.

Europe has banned airlines, especially African airlines, and individual aircraft pretty regularly for safety concerns [1]. America tends to ban entire countries. It is only fair for African countries to follow the similar guidelines, especially when there are problem aircraft.

fair enough, thank you for sharing this.
But the parent's wealth helping the children is irrelevant, if you consider the family's line to be a single entity. At some point, the parents also worked hard to gather their wealth, and so did their grand parents, etc.

the idea that it's somehow bad that parent's help makes for the child's success is wrong. It's fair to receive such help.
Its been great for you to use Slack and to be able to go back and view conversations from years ago. It’s so useful to you that you’ve used it for years, and you love it.

…but you won’t pay $12/month for it?

Yes, you are a freeloader. And you’ll inevitably keep bouncing from free app to free app as services mature and shift focus to making money. You, as a freeloader, are of no economic value to Slack, Discord, or wherever you end up next.
In forums you can select parts of someone's post and quote that part in your reply
Yes that's why you shouldn't run curl | sh commands without double or tripple checking. Even without this exploit. Check the scripts that are being downloaded and check if this script you download is really the same as for example in the git repo.
One could simply support a candidate for their choice of SCOTUS judges or recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel or opposition to TPP. It's not necessary that a voter endorses everything that the candidate has ever done in their life. I find this standard to be largely driven by the media. The President has a governing role, and different people are affected by it differently. If he is a terribly rude and obnoxious jerk - sure that can be a part of one's judgment, but it's not necessary that everyone has the same hierarchy
The media doesn't "lean left or right" for the most part. The media acts as a magnifying glass to foment public opinion. The father of modern journalism Walter Lippmann penned a book about this very thing literally 100 years ago (also it's in the public domain now, it's a great read!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Opinion_(book)

To even imply MSNBC is "left leaning" is absolutely hilarious however. Though I suppose people so easily forget their Nazi comparison of Bernie Sanders

What are you referring to?
I am so tired of the comparison with the internet because it tries to conclude that crypto will be successful despite the scepticism because people were also sceptic of the internet. You could compare any new thing with the internet and come up with a similar prophecy, but it just isn't given that the success is ever going to come.
It says ‘for Windows PC’ quite prominently right throughout its copy on the landing page. Does no one else see that? Or have a missed a web option hiding on the page?

Can we so this with politicians, too? Make them wear patches of all their corporate sponsors like race car drivers?
The purpose of a journal is to be read, the purpose of a conference is to be heard, and they should be optimized for the desires of the audience, not the desires of the authors.

A journal or conference that publishes everything is useless to its audience, which expects significant curation and filtering to pare down the incoming firehose to something that (a) fits a specific topic and (b) has a filter for quality and (c) pick the most interesting ones out of all the far-too-many decent papers that fit the first two criteria.

There's no problem to publish them all somewhere, that's being done on e.g. arXiv, pretty much every recent useful CS paper is there as well, often before being published in a "proper venue" - but a "publish everything" service is not enough, people do want to read more selective sources instead of trying to skim everything that's posted on arXiv.
> a complete CI on our chip took 4 days

So rather than just say "ok we won't do simulations of the full chip in CI; we'll just do module testbenches which are much quicker" you scrapped the whole thing?

> Version control sucks unless your data is text--generally that's only your Verilog.

So you don't use version control because it "only" works with the most important things in your repo?

> Tcl is a decent enough language

Sure, compared to Bash or BASIC or other ancient terrible languages. It's pretty terrible compared to any vaguely good language. Even PHP or 90s JavaScript are leagues better.

>the stuff you write is no more than a one off and the real product is your chip--so nobody is going to reward you for a "good" script in any language.

Yeah I've heard this from people at my company too. So do you really completely throw away your entire infrastructure and start from scratch for every chip? If not it's hardly a "one off". And yes, people are going to reward you - your future selves will say "thank god you didn't choose to use such a bug prone language that I spend all my time fixing basic type errors".

> I've seen more verification in hardware before shipping a product than I EVER have seen in any software role.

For obvious reasons. Chips are much simpler than software and therefore way easier to verify, and missed bugs are extraordinarily expensive. I bet FPGAs don't get as much verification.

Your post is exactly the sort of attitude I was talking about - thanks for the demonstration!
Video game recordings are normally not terribly long gop (couple seconds) because the scenery isn't static enough for that anyway.
I'm not entirely sure JavaScript itself is horribly worse option than anything else available.

The author is confused, their Prolog implementation is clearly a left fold!

I'm only half joking :)

To elaborate: The variable names "ACC" and "RES" suggest the predicate should be viewed as a left fold, because when the predicate is viewed as a right fold the meanings of the variables are flipped.
Annoyingly my company monitors changes to the file and last time I tried this I got a message a few minutes later asking what I’d been doing. They did let me keep the change once I’d explained.
My family has been using Slack for several years to share/store odds and ends like recipes and bookmarks. When I heard about this change, I did a full data export. After 5+ years of not-infrequent use, the data blob was all of 1.5 MB. Virtually nothing.

They're building new coal plants as well, does that mean coal is also the way of the future, or maybe just a stopgap?

Germany has been working on the demand side so that growth is decoupled from carbon. This is the hard problem and will take decades to achieve. So even if it didn't predict a Russian invasion, the international response and Russia's counter, it made a reasonable bet and deserves credit, even if the dice came up short.

It will be an uncomfortable winter, and tragically some old people might even die. But not more than coal power kills with respiratory problems in the short term. And heatwaves, floods, hurricanes and resource wars kill in the long term.

No one credible called renewables the holy grail, not in their current form. But they're on the right path.
> benefit of the doubt on his motives

Maybe I'm wrong but I interpret that as "don't assume you know Putin's motives for invading Ukraine" and that it doesn't mean that Chomsky supports the invasion or that Putin has any _morally correct_ motive (if you believe in universal morality).
if the intention is to have a blind test, is there a reason it's not administer while the patient is asleep?

If you stay up for 48 hours, go to sleep, get a random injection after an hour or two, wake up ~10 hours later. I would think you'd probably cut that ~90% down significantly
> Nobody can explain you a logical reason (except of EcOnOmiNCs) why the house price exploded.

Interest rates falling. As rates go down the price of property goes up. If Europe were to aggressively raise interest rates to 10% then those 1.2 million euro homes would cost about 300k. But the monthly payment would be the same.

Homes cost what people that want to live in an area are willing to pay per month to live there. That means interest, principal, and taxes.
apartment (proprietary, 25m2, S/E of France sea-side): 30€mo charges, 300€year tax, 7€moinsurance, 7€mo internet, 10-12€mo electricity (https://imgur.com/a/J5qe3yC, almost no devices apart from laptop, light, rice cooker, hair cutter)

food: 32€ for a 20kg bag of rice for 4 months, 15€mo of eggs, much vegetable for free (fruit foraging like figs, persimons, mandarines or I help merchants at markets, it's technically illegal work, but that's tolerated, I even talked about it with a cop recently) else that would be 50-100€mo

various: 2€ soap block for 2 month, 2€ air chamber for my bike every year (I can find tires for free in garbages, just like the way I found and repaired my bike), 500€ laptop every 15 years (I'm halfway), 20€ shoes every 5 year, I haven't bought clothes in more than a decade, I could get second-handone or cheap one, or keep using my old stock. No health expenses as well for more than a decade, same toothbrush since years, no toothpaste

so total: 100-120€mo

For several years I had to pay a rent between 100€mo (student room) and 500€mo small appartment, this is way too expensive imo
We live 1 km from the preschool but it's a narrow country road with tall hedgerows and drivers doing 90-100kph. We live 13km from the primary school (it's the nearest non-religious one) and there is no public transportation.

Of course, this was a predictable consequence of moving to the countryside, but it meant we could get a super cheap house to dig ourselves out of a hole. We knew this was a predictable outcome and leaving is a logical step. We're done digging (the plan worked!)

"cycling paths that would be used by only a small percentage of the people living there"

Odd since many people already bike here, just at great risk to themselves, and a bike path can allow convenient, immediate transport as opposed to public transportation which doesn't work well at our low population densities. I have a bunch of footage of people riding bikes around here I need to put together in to a video, actually - mostly older folks.

I'm annoyed the car paths were imposed on us, but here we are.
Why don't we enumerate days throughout the year?
