My chats being gone from new devices is one reason I use Signal over others.

I've sent tens or hundreds of thousands of messages over the course of years and the only time i've had delays is when I had spotty service.

Not choosing a side here, but the headline is super misleading.
Yes, numbers that mean something, and may be compared with other meaningful numbers, is a necessity for useful reporting.

There was a very dumb Two Bit da Vinci vid recently on YouTube about a big advance in dehumidifier tech. It had lots of numbers, but none of the meaningful numbers. The meaningful numbers they did not say were that it captured moisture 2.4x cheaper than current methods, but still 60x more expensive (in kWh/L) than desalination.

There is a hell of a lot of basement dehumidification going on, so switching to the new method will be very valuable. But it won't supply drinking water.

In other news, desalination is astonishingly cheap nowadays. It just needs cheap, opportunistic power, and could be built out everywhere. Inland, aquifers that are a little too salty for irrigation could be put into use.
I completely understand why you would want to memoize values and reasons to use useMemo. But I don't really understand why you would want to memoize a function to avoid it being re-generated. I guess maybe it saves a tiny performance hit, but does useCallback result in significant performance improvements?

Agreed, many libraries and frameworks have built in support and simpler syntax for computed values, like MobX, or even older frameworks Ractive or Knockout. React takes a very "code-y" approach to this, which I guess some people like.
Wow. Standing at the edge of the uncanny valley.
His prior fame undoubtedly helped him get off the ground, but if you think the show's success coasts purely on his earlier fame, I'm afraid to say this is a story you're telling yourself, seemingly in part, to make yourself feel better.

A podcast doesn't stay relevant with a large and loyal audience unless it's actually good. To pretend like JRE is a continued success purely because he was on TV before 1) ignores the countless podcasts started by people far less famous than Rogan was when he started which have failed to take off and 2) sounds like a cynical, resentful thing you tell yourself feel better along the lines of "well, if I came from where Rogan did, I'd be just as successful."

Whatever you want to say about the reasons anyone tuned in to begin with, it's transparently unfair (and betrays your own "issues") to not offer a balanced perspective which includes the need to acknowledge the obvious which is that Rogan's success just might be _also_ due to the fact that he is a good interviewer, that he has good guests on his show, that he's able to spark interesting conversations, etc.

The idea that his TV stint and MMA fame makes a listenership of 12M an automatic thing is just laughable.
Next you get people who don't like the patterns or think there are better patterns. It's not a bit of paint for existing blades. It's appreciable weight added to the blades, to repaint.

Everyone in the US can easily identify the wind turbines, because of the uniformity. The uniformity and simplicity has inherent value in large projects (including large volume). White to dissipate heat or black to save birds (let the bats die either way?). It's not surprising that prolonging the state of the current environment may require short-term sacrifices.

The same place everyone is being taken by all the media we consume.

It is ironic, but watching someone like Alex Jones forces one to think. The real problem is how do we learn to filter when an “authority” is speaking or writing?

It does not tell you how long a clock cycle takes. It tells you how long a clock cycle takes when the CPU is massively loaded on all threads, in adverse thermal conditions. If you have better than average cooling, you will never see the base clock under load. If you are running just a single thread, you will always boost to Fmax.
My point was more complaining about Joe Rogan feels like it misses the forest for the trees. We have very liberal speech laws, and that means people can say stupid shit that some individuals may follow.

Non-American here.

Any "lawyer" around as the laws seem very unclear.

In the case of Whole Foods vs BLM shirts, the courts ruled in favour of the "uniform" and banned the BLM shirts:

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/whole-foods-win-sho...

"The June 28 decision by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals further restricts employees’ ability to change their working conditions at a time when U.S. workplaces have become a locus of divisive cultural battles and disagreements over some Americans’ basic rights."

In this "similar" case the ruling is drastically different?

Both attempt to "ban"clothing due to "dress code" rules?
It's not snobbery. It's that their time is better spent planning and being strategic.

Paraphrasing President Reagan:

The Moscow police are notoriously strict when it comes to speeding. One day, Gorbachev and his driver are going to a meeting, and they are running late. Gorbachev admonishes the driver to go faster, but his driver refuses.

Finally, Gorbachev says, "Fine! Pull over! I will drive."

Gorbachev starts speeding through the streets of Moscow with his driver in the back seat. They are pulled over by the police.

The first officer gets out of the car and walks to Gorbachev's car. They talk for a moment, then the officer returns, as white as a sheet.

"Well? Was it someone important?" says the second officer.

The first officer replies, "Important?! You have no idea! Gorbachev is his driver!"
You are talking about "The Government" as if it is some uncontrollable force of nature. Here in reality, we are actually self-governing.

Obviously it's messy, complicated, and not as simple as just "deciding what to do and doing it".

But it is fair to say that pretty much every rational person agrees that we should take care of each other including anyone with a rare condition.
That stuff definitely helps. That's also why do many now just search Reddit. However, wouldn't it be nice if the search engine could be smart enough to figure that out itself?
> I'd have thought its niche had been filled several thousand times over by podcasts.

Not at all.

I have a distinct memory in which I’m driving alone, late at night, on a long road trip. I don’t have any unlistened podcasts downloaded, I’m not in the mood for music, but it’s late and I would like to hear another human voice. So I turn on the radio. The night sky is a magical sight that implies endless possibility, so I’m not in the mood for sports radio or Dave Ramsey. I don’t know if I ended up listening to Coast to Coast AM or one of its imitators, but I found something along those lines and it hit the spot.

1 - How is the performance? Does it get noisy/hot like my work machine (2019 i9 16" Pro) ?

> I have never wanted for more, it's almost always idling. I can spin up a local kube cluster and run a few things if needs be, still no performance issues.

2 - How is the development experience? Are you missing some critical tools on this platform that you need on a day-to-day basis?

> I only use VSCode with python, golang, docker, some random extensions etc. I've never noticed anything missing.

3 - How is Docker performance/compatibility? I work a lot with Docker for backends/servers and Docker for Mac has always been pretty bad, but wanted to see if it improves with M1!

> It's been flawless for me, with admittedly fairly limited use.

4 - How much RAM is good for heavy development work? I use Adobe Creative Cloud a lot, do video editing here and there, and also a lot of Mobile development (React Native). Would 16GB be okay, or do I need more? (Would like to future-proof for the next 4-5 years). My work Mac with i7 32GB always gets insanely hot and noisy with most basic loads.

> I cannot at all attest to this, as I don't do anything like video work, which is far more intensive than the light development I do. I'd probably suggest 16gb+ of ram though, as I am under the impression that the M chip laptops rely on using the swapfile a lot.

Lets say, hypothetically, that there did exist some trustworthy VPN provider, one that behaved in a way that you would approve (where, if you had unlimited time and access to the internal operation of the provider to evaluate it, then you would eventually be convinced that it's "good", as good as reasonably, humanly possible). So assuming it exists, what would it look like? What would you see that would be positive or negative signs?

To your last point: the infrastructure in place along the Yangtze that enables all of those people to live so close to the river, did not exist prior to twenty years ago.

Natural selection works on a timescale that is longer than you are imagining. It is entirely possible for an ecosystem to be radically altered before there is a chance for adaptation by existing species.

He did. It's just that leftists in the US won't accept that and pretend that the Cold War just "ended" one day, because of the goodwill of the Russians, not because the US policy forced them into bankruptcy.

You can draw a straight line right through this log scale plot that goes to 2020. Not sure what definition of Moores Law you are using, but it doesn’t seem to match the one on Wikipedia.

In the US, the CDC has been really bad at providing health information, and the FDA has been really bad at providing food safety info. They also don’t have incentive alignment (incentives are mostly to grow the bureaucracy and serve careers).

I’d expect private enterprise to eventually converge on better info… eventually consumers will choose services that provide the best info amidst competition.

You touched a good point. The one and only metric to measure success in software is the number of active users. However, i do not know of any statistics Xorg vs. Wayland users. Personally, i have no reason to switch away from X11. In contrary, it was and is a loyal companion now already for decades. I trust the Lindy effect that X11 will stay relevant for a very long time.

There's a clear distinction between these two modes of transit which is suspiciously absent in this comment: A car or truck is a quickly moving multi-ton metal box with a stopping distance of ~40 feet at only 20mph. As such, a vehicle is an immediate threat to anything around it. In contrast, bicycles may pose an indirect threat to others e.g. causing an accident (a threat posed by vehicles as well) but their immediate threat i.e. loss of life due to collision is essentially zero.

It's also worth noting that drivers tend to be less alert than bikers. Distracted drivers (e.g. drivers on their phone) are a major cause of vehicles running stops signs/lights. When bikers run stop signs/lights, they are generally very aware since their lives depend on them being aware -- they are acting with intention.

In any case, for these reasons and others, there are states that actually observe what is called an Idaho Stop for bikers which allows them to roll through stops signs and lights if it is safe to do so.
The NLRB found that the dress code was a de facto ban on pro union shirts. The way the law is written (and decided), the dress code change is assumed to be an illegal de facto ban on pro-union shirts unless Tesla presents evidence that it was necessary for other reasons, which they were given an opportunity to do but failed to satisfy the majority-Democrat NLRB. I guess you only get so many characters in a headline.
>The answer is, it is illegal, and easy to catch, so people don't abuse it as much as they would if it wasn't illegal.

Why is it easy to catch? The OPs premise that you have to provide identification to open bank accounts is obviously false.

> Sort of buried the lede in this one. Seems like the obvious answer is running of red lights, passing between cars or in gaps that feel dangerous to nearby drivers, going slowly such that those behind the rider are forced to drive way below speed limits, etc.

As a (law abiding) life-long bicycle user I don't think this is it. You can ride your bike 110% conform with the law and still get a to of shitty situation thrown your way.

The truth is: there are many motorists who think bicycles are toys that don't belong on streets. Cyclists, for them are idiots who slow everything down and block a road that they are not entitled to use. They are in the right because they are bigger, faster and they will let you feel it regardless of how you ride your bike.

I ride a bicycle, but cycling is not my identity. I am a guy on a bike not a "cyclist". In fact I was a professional (car-)driver before. What I observe is that car culture plays a huge role in all of this. Motorists will have aggressions against trucks or agricultural vehicles. But those are heavy and sturdy. Bicycles are easy to scare off the street. And the cliché asshole driver in that BMW will do just that whenever there is a slight annoyance regardless of the law.

That being said many cyclists certainly would profit from learning how to behave in traffic in a predictable way, for sure. But I drive very predictably (and fast) and still have the same things happen to me.
This seems like needless pedantry at least for a conversation outside of school. The USSR (with whom the Cold War was being fought) was dissolved and Germany was reunified. For all intents and purposes it did end, just a new conflict (now with Russia) began.

> it's a mistake to expect to derive significant joy / self-actualization / gratification / whatever from your "job"

I couldn't agree more. Over the course of the last few years, I have put in the work to separate my work and my life. I now notice a difference in how I interact with my work. I am a solid "bare minimum" worker, and I've been able to get away with it. Does it have an effect on my earnings and reputation? Probably. I know I'm not going above and beyond and qualifying for some of the perks & programs that my coworkers do. I happen to not give a shit about that corporate reward atmosphere. I make $101k/yr and I'm comfortable and my work days are short and manageable.

Do I enjoy my work at this current moment? Not really, but it's easy and it pays my bills and I have capacity for other shit that I enjoy - hiking, photography, games, etc. Plus, I have had enough time to evaluate what I truly value in my work and want to do year over year (I am interviewing later this week for a better-fit job I know I have in the bag if I can ace this technical).

As I've been interviewing, I've gotten the question over and over: how much coding/programming do you do outside of work. My interview answer includes a spiel about a few side projects I've got on my roster. My honest answer is "almost none".
