My mother sells random old bric-a-brac on eBay, and came across a 1960's era reprint of an early 1900's Sears Catalog which was fascinating to me on several levels - the first being that clearly it was nostalgic for folks in the 60's. For me it was a straight up historical document in that it showed literally anything you could order for your house.

Some things would be little changed from today but obviously others would be very different. One of the weirdest things was the patent medication section. Just things like "Dr Fowler's Feminine Medicine" or stuff like that. Lots of promises to help out illness and zero lists of ingredients. It's absolutely bizarre to me, but I suppose not to everyone.

> I don't think you're being at all fair to Mozilla

> In both transitions, Mozilla made sure [to keep top popular addons mostly happy and ensure adblockers are happy]

Those are all fair points, and yes, I was probably too harsh with my language overall, that post written before I was corrected that Mozilla was not developing MV3 the same as Google was.

I stand by my strikes that Mozilla did kill XPCOM, and failed to deliver their promise to release all addons to Fenix on shipping stable versions. They don't even enable about:config on stable Fenix to enable power users to workaround that limitation.

In short, I believe I was 60% fair in my opinion.
You are telling people not to make assumptions about how Joe Rogan listeners think, right after speaking for "all of us":

> Almost all of us know Joe is a moron.

I'm quite certain Joe Rogan is above average intelligence, and that people who doubt that are usually abusing Joe's public and unforgiving curiosity which will sometimes lead to basic questions or ridiculous statements - that is the price of curiosity, which clearly we fans are not only willing to pay, but look forward to.

It really is. New Conservatives have cut out a large part of the die hards, but just look where wealthy National voters and MPs send their kids.

I'll leave aside the wider issues of climate change for a moment and address sea level rises alone, since it's one of the big scary points due to fears of mass coastal migrations inland.

Anyhow, for a bit of perspective, NASA's own research on potential sea level rises argues that in the worst case scenario for climate warming, we should see a rise of just over a meter by 2100 and a possible rise of 5 meters by 2300. Now, if you like, go to, for example (though it only focuses on the United States) NOAA's map tool for visualizing different levels of rising water. (1)

See for yourself what a one meter rise looks like and then also a completely drastic 300-year 5 meter increase. To be sure, both would be major problems for millions of people and huge tracts of coastal land, but bear in mind that these people and the governments/private interests/individuals responsible for those areas would have from ONE TO THREE centuries to prepare.

This is a lot of time even for slow measures at current technology and resources to prepare remarkably well. It's reasonable to suppose that over the next 100 years (barring some other different catastrophe), we'll have even better technology and resources at our disposal, especially if the water visibly starts to go up and coastal fresh water table salinity starts to grow large enough to cause crop failures. At least as far as sea level rises are concerned, solutions are completely manageable.

The doom scenarios for rising oceans are grotesquely overblown by a large base of people who just can't seem to emotionally help themselves in not specifically and forcefully insisting on catastrophic situations, despite millennia of humanity showing just how adaptive it is and despite the literal best science on the matter arguing for something that is much less catastrophic when actually examined.

Yeah no, bitfields are notoriously implementation defined.

In the embedded world you often have to deal with vendor specific toolchains, and with their finicky compilers, you'd be surprised the weirdness you run into when using bitfields.

You will learn to question everything not specifically defined by the c standard.

Which is wrong. See e.g. http://python-history.blogspot.com/2013/10/origin-of-metacla...: "I was only vaguely aware of Smalltalk at the time; I remember being surprised by its use of metaclasses (which is quite different from that in Python or Ruby!) when I read about them much later."
Networking and Marketing.

For 10 years I spoke at every conference, user group, etc. that I could find. I sustained a 9 person consulting company finding gigs through the network of other speakers and attendees that would come up and ask me questions. Every question can be rephrased as “I have a problem you can help me solve”, but you also have to qualify to make sure there is a company with a budget for solving that problem. That takes a little business development.

For conference attendees, you have to have some free giveaway to keep a connection… like a free 2 hour code review of your existing project, or “I’m willing to do this presentation for an in-house user group as a lunchtime thing if you’re interested”. Those little giveaways get you closer to the management and the confidence you know what you’re talking about.

I don't know. I'm using it now in the form of pihole, but DoT/DoH with ESNI are coming, and we don't have a good way to ID and block them by their very nature, which is the bad edge of the double-edged sword that they enable.

The good edge is keeping ISPs etc. from messing with your DNS requests, but that sword cuts both ways as it also can lock your own home network out.

They are comedians. They are entertainers. Why do Americans hold their entertainers in such high regard?

These people may put some thought into what they say. And some of them may be smart people. So sometimes they have good points. And sometimes they don't. Sometimes they are right. And sometimes they are wrong. But you should just laugh. And if they give you a new perspective on something, find out more reliable source. Why are you taking jokes seriously?
I've had multiple M1 Macbook Pros and many x86 (and PowerPC) Macs before that.

1. Performance is great! Doesn't get noisy or hot. Way better than Intel models.

2. Development is flawless. Nothing is missing. Homebrew works just like before, but installs into a different parent folder for arm (I think). Never hit a case where I couldn't do something because it wasn't supported on M1 or anything like that.

3. The biggest (only?) downside of the M1 architecture is that it isn't an improvement for x86 virtualization because it's not x86 under the hood. So if you run Windows in Parallels, you are going to be running the Arm build of Windows. There's no bootcamp to run Windows natively anymore. Docker performance is going to suffer if you are required to run x86-based Docker images all day. The effective Docker performance probably will be similar to what you get with your x86 mac (i.e. not great) but with less heat/fan noise.

If you are in a position where you can run arm-based virtual machines, then you will probably have a great experience. But that's definitely not most people.

4. I'd go for 32GB RAM, especially if you are doing virtualization stuff. I'd bump this up before pretty much any other spec except maybe disk space.

tl;dr - The M1 transition has been amazingly flawless except for the corner case of running virtual x86 instances all day.
This thread is a treasure trove of people who have skimmed content from JRE yet somehow have more insight into the show than the fans they seem to despise.
Yep, I think Jon Stewart basically invented this approach.

I believe that he in fact popularized the phrase "fake news" first, to use it to refer to himself, to do exactly this, defend himself when called out, saying "hey i'm just fake news, why are you trying to hold me to real news standards?"

I think it totally paved the way for a lot of misinformation (that now tends to, but not always, be right-wing oriented), and I think it's a mess.

Here's someone else making the same connection in 2016: https://www.cjr.org/special_report/trump_jon_stewart_stephen...

It's not just Stewart, it's part of the general merging of "entertainment", "news", and "politics". But I think Stewart is a fore-runner in serving roles that are actually both "politics" (advocacy of positions) and "news" (informing as to what's going on) for their audience, while disclaiming accountability for performing those roles responsibly because "it's just entertainment" -- an approach that has been adopted by Rogan, among others.

They're probably referring to the Crossfire interview (which is widely credited with getting the latter show cancelled). He basically complained about the lack of depth on Crossfire, and when questioned about his own show's lack of depth he basically just said "It's a comedy show".

It's sort of a nuanced issue, since a lot of people took The Daily Show seriously in that era anyway. The difference is, of course, that Crossfire and its ilk were/are unserious in subtle ways, and seemed meant to be taken seriously. I'll leave it up to you, the reader, to decide which space Joe Rogan's show lives in (I actually couldn't tell you, never having seen it).
Making a value judgement on someones financial ambition is a little ... weak.

This places you in a little different minority than me. My current financial reality has convinced me of just the opposite --- that doing something different would actually be detrimental.

That wouldn't work for groups. Abusers could then destroy the groups with impunity for the purpose of censorship. Telegram is mostly about groups. Telegram is often used for activism.

No, not "overly". Everything has limits and I hope I won't ever have to pretend to be someone else for the sake of money. His "show" is made to entertain and to make money. Overly quickly turns into overenthusiastically and fake. He chooses to be a fake while pretending to be Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan was someone else in every episode I've seen.
It's been going on at least since electing Ronald Reagan president in 1980.

And it's not just the USA, see Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, whose resumé previous to being elected president consisted of being a politically relevant comedian.
I think you're underestimating the power of dumb questions to an extent.

Like, I wholeheartedly agree, he doesn't achieve good interviews by the quality of his questions.

Except... that he kind of does, in a weird way. Experts on the show are happy to use those questions as a launching point to correct whatever incorrect assumptions he had in asking it.

He's very good at getting people to open up and talk. Perhaps dumb questions play a role in that? Perhaps they make people feel comfortable by validating their expert status in the room or something, I don't know. But I do know that it seems to work. I also know he's a comedian. Comedy is fundamentally a weirdly manipulative art form... You carefully craft a set of jokes and then practice over and over again to make it feel like an organic, albeit funny conversation. Every little pause, intonation, turn of phrase, it's all intentional. So, being that he is a practiced comedian, it's possible some of that interview style is pretty intentional too.

I'm going to take a guess... you are probably under 30, and the people who brought up Jon Stewart are probably over 35. He was pretty big (bigger than Rogan, probably) when we were forming our political opinions in high school and college, and he also blended the line of entertainment and political commentary. It's a very natural comparison. Don't be too quick to cry conspiracy.
