> should be struck down by the interstate commerce clause

I’m not sure I understand why you suggest the interstate commerce clause. But regardless, didn’t the Supreme Court refuse to take up the case earlier this year when New Hampshire unsuccessfully sued Massachusetts over this same issue?

It seems that the concept is allowable, at least according to current law.
That's a fair point. I'm finding the thread interesting because it has helped divorce my personal experience from (some of) the english-speaking tech community at large.

For me, a theme that's arising is that the previous style was pretty polarising, but at the same time it was a differentiator. Now, it's neither of those.

It appears that this works better for them commercially, too; so more power to them.
> I don’t think JS is much worse than other dynamically typed languages to be honest.

I agree; it's a plague all dynamically-typed languages face. I've yet to meet one that doesn't hit me with some kind of powerful pain-in-the-ass corner cases as a trade-off for the power of its terseness.

I fell in and out of love with Python over the course of a decade or so. Initially very excited about doing so much with so little code; fell out of love when I used it in an industry setting and realized 100% unit test coverage was mandatory because the lack of variable declaration means every line of code is a potential runtime error in waiting due to a simple name typo.
Yes, and an increase in the amortization period decreases the amount that can be written off for a project in any given year, which all else being equal means the company pays more tax.
> it had a lot of features/bloat like the music store and iPod synchronization.

This is a hilarious statement to read, cause that's probably what 80% of people were using iTunes exclusively for and relegating their music listening to their iPod/iPhone, especially in the later part of the 00s.
In issue 33, Mad published a partial table of the "Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures", developed by 19-year-old Donald E. Knuth, later a famed computer scientist. According to Knuth, the basis of this new revolutionary system is the potrzebie, which equals the thickness of Mad issue 26, or 2.2633484517438173216473 mm,[2] although a digit was mistakenly dropped and the thickness appeared as 2.263348517438173216473 mm in the MAD article. A standardization in terms of the wavelength of the red line of the emission spectrum of cadmium is also given, which if the 1927 definition of the Ångstrom is taken for the value of that wavelength, would equal 2.263347539605392 mm.[3]

Volume was measured in ngogn (equal to 1000 cubic potrzebies), mass in blintz (equal to the mass of 1 ngogn of halavah, which is "a form of pie [with] a specific gravity of 3.1416 and a specific heat of .31416"), and time in seven named units (decimal powers of the average earth rotation, equal to 1 "clarke"). The system also features such units as whatmeworry, cowznofski, vreeble, hoo and hah.

Many creators of educational content on Youtube already have paid content alongside their free. Except, the paid is currently hosted on other platforms like Udemy and Patreon. As long it's not an exclusive deal which forces them to only use YouTube, I don't really see that many problems with it. In the end, it will likely draw in more creators, which translates to more educational content, both free and paid, and hopefully better, as competition grows.

> having billions of pounds of guacamole.

We've determined by our standards that you have too much guacamole. But, we refuse to see the hypocrisy of this hand-wavy standard that we've got way too much guacamole ourselves compared to another arbitrary entity. We also think, based on our own subjective assessment that guacomole is bad for you and you must reduce consumption. Correct strategy according to our experts is that we need to coerce those who have too much guacomole (again based on our subjective assessment) must give it to those who we think do not have enough. It is morally approved by insert-current-virtue-thing.

Subjectivism has taken over objectivism.

>That's what they told me at the dealership too. I asked "larger than what? Air is a mixture that's already 78% nitrogen." Didn't get an answer.

No idea about molecule size, but the reason for nitrogen is that it expands less than air when heated, so tire pressure doesn't change as much when driving hard on a track.

> As far as the lower moisture content, couldn't they pass the air through an air dryer before filling the tire if it was that much of an issue?

Yes, this point is some dealership BS. Pretty much every auto shop will have a dedicated air line for filling tires, if not the whole system with an air dryer.

I think the problem is that the way these groups work ends up being something other than intelligent oversight. It's a human problem.

They attract or breed people who see it as a great / easy job simply to provide oversight but have no investment / zero consequences for what happens. They can give tasks, eat up time, it costs them nothing, but costs everyone else tons of time.

They are also free of any consequences ... how do you know such a group did any good? It's entirely for them to define. "These products were ethical, and we made them that way." Easy to say.

IMO these kinds of questions are up to the folks in charge of the products, beyond just a random group deciding "is this ethical" as they actually also have to understand and know them. If the folks making the product can't handle it, that's the problem.
Another paradigm are Notebooks. Jupyter style are pretty popular these days, something like Wolfram Alpha's step-by-step mode or this project recently noted on HN https://bbodi.github.io/notecalc3/ are all good examples. Plenty of people use spreadsheets to explicitly chain operations.

A specific operation is much less important than the context, dimensional analysis, getting order-of-magnitude or precision correct. Performing operations narrowly is probably operating on the wrong level.
For reference: The quick and dirty solution to make an offset curve of distance l is to take the control cage of the original curve (i.e. the polyline you get by connecting every Bézier control point in sequence) and push out the points that make up control cage by the distance l along each point's normal. (Same way you do toon shaded outlines in games.) Since the vector between two cubic Bézier curves is itself a cubic Bézier curve, the convex hull property lets you easily compute a conservative error bound on this. If the error bound is too high, you can subdivide and repeat the process.

This solution isn't as good as what Raph describes here and I'm providing it only for reference. :)
I wonder this too but everybody else in this household cuts wavering and irregular slices. If I'm lucky I end up with a slice with a wedge profile. Usually worse.

This reminds me of a saying I've heard from Dean Graziosi (sales type guy).

"Sell them what they want, give them what they need".

I also dislike this whole game where you have to essentially mould yourself into this "mainstream click-baity character", but part of me recognises that if your goal is to sell, then you'd be wise to spend time on presenting your content in a way that is at least initially attention grabbing.

One way to think of it is - you owe it to your audience to save them from worse educational experiences, and the only way to save them is to try to rank higher than these other more click-baity low-value videos.
The people who lost power and couldn't cool themselves down in 100 degree weather might not agree with your congratulations from afar. They might also not like that their energy costs are dramatically higher than even in neighboring states.

The 48mp sensor on the iPhone seems like a gimmick - even with purely diffraction-limited optics, I doubt you could seriously increase optical bandwidth at that sensor size beyond, say, 10-20Mp, to say nothing of aberration limiting and shot noise constraints.

Just now we're starting to see 40Mp APS-C sensors, and people are debating if it's worth it to do that on a sensor that's like 10x larger than the biggest iphone sensor.
Is there a concise term for the computation it is doing, besides something like "convolution with a gradually varying kernel"?

It's weird to think the real computation is physics, and machines or optical systems are nested abstractions hosted on that.

I guess one person's low-level / "metal" / "wire" is always someone else's API.

I remember trying to do this with jQuery and localstorage, and was amazed it work, but so frustrated the many times it broke or caused issues. Built an entire shopping cart w/ a team in jQuery and localStorage as the store with some handlebar templates. In retrospect it was horrible code. This was in 2015 though, so react/vue were less wide spread and I was much more junior.

Now it's so much better/easier to use Vue, or react or even Svelte or the smaller similar stacks like alpine, htmx, etc that at least make state management easier than it ever was dealing with jQuery. the only thing jQuery had going for it was the ease of using selectors, honestly I think a jquery lite package that just has all the selector stuff would be nice, I sometimes forget all the document.getElementById stuff, but $('#id') is a much (imho) better syntax anyways. There probably already exists something like that - haven't looked but maybe I will later now that my interest is piqued.
> Click bait isn't different than wearing a funny hat to engage students in class.

what are you talking about?

a student gets stuck going to class regardless of how goofy the teacher dresses, whereas I feel an extreme sense of revulsion when I click on a YT link with a meme-thumbnail or a clickbait title.

your analogy fails since in this instance the 'student' gets to decide whether or not they participate in the course.

If I had had the chance to walk out on goofy teachers through high school then -- just as one anecdote -- I wouldn't have graduated.

so, in other words, clickbait 'engagement' style marketing will get your volume numbers up, but the hidden aspect is that there will be a market that pulls entirely away from you -- 'teachers' on YT will need to understand these market dynamics if they're really interested in teaching the masses rather than making money on viewership.

If teachers K-12 were paid according to their student throughput that'd turn into a major humanitarian crisis, imo.
From page 52:

> Operating systems have to deal with some very unusual objects and events: interrupts; memory maps; apparent locations in memory that really represent devices, hardware traps and faults; and I/O controllers. It is unlikely that even a low-level model can adequately support all of these notions or new ones that come along in the future. So a key idea in C is that the language model be flexible; with escape hatches to allow the programmer to do the right thing, even if the language designer didn't think of it first.

This. This is the difference between C and Pascal. This is why C won and Pascal lost - because Pascal prohibited everything but what Wirth thought should be allowed, and Wirth had far too limited a vision of what people might need to do. Ritchie, in contrast, knew he wasn't smart enough to play that game, so he didn't try. As a result, in practice C was considerably more usable than Pascal. The closer you were to the metal, the greater C's advantage. And in those days, you were often pretty close to the metal...

Later, on page 60:

> Much of the C model relies on the programmer always being right, so the task of the language is to make it easy what is necessary... The converse model, which is the basis of Pascal and Ada, is that the programmer is often wrong, so the language should make it hard to say anything incorrect... Finally, the large amount of freedom provided in the language means that you can make truly spectacular errors, far exceeding the relatively trivial difficulties you encounter misusing, say, BASIC.

Also true. And it is true that the "Pascal model" of the programmer has quite a bit of truth to it. But programmers collectively chose freedom over restrictions, even restrictions that were intended to be for their own good.
since nobofy mentioned, I use https://caprover.com and a server on Hetzner. Caprover is easy to install and use, it has ui, cli, different deployment methods, automatic let's encrypt and possibility to install predefined apps like a database for example. I don't use cluster mode, since there is no need for me, but it has cluster support as well. I would say it is perfect fit for small home lab for personal projects.

> C got various other things subtly right, too: manifestly enough to make up for its blatant failings. If you would displace C, it is much more important to retain its strengths than to fix its flaws.

I agree. I wonder how feasible it is to separate the two, though. Not because it seems as if there is some unavoidable trade-off to be made (if that was it then somebody would have found a relatively crisp definition of said trade-off). I suspect that it's best understood as an emergent phenomenon.

Consider the LINUX KERNEL MEMORY BARRIERS readme [1], which states very clearly: "Nevertheless, even this memory model should be viewed as the collective opinion of its maintainers rather than as an infallible oracle". And yet some people persist with the belief that such an Oracle must really be possible. Oracles are abstract concepts.

C doesn't persist despite its contradictions. It persists because of them.

I'm not claiming that this is good or bad. Just that it's the simplest explanation that I can think of.

A real bread keeps fresh longer if it's not cut. You cut what you want to eat, the rest you leave with the cut side facing down on the cutting board. It lasts longer if you put a paper bag over it but don't close it completely. You want the crust to be the packaging for the bread. The paper bag helps to keep the moisture so it doesn't dry too fast but won't destroy the crust either. The cutting board seals the side you already cut. Depending of bread sort, this can make your bread stay nice for several days.

“ The automatic mind creates causal stories out of dubious raw material. When Kahneman studied the records of managers at one investment firm, over 25 years, he found there was zero link between managers earning an above-market return one year and repeating that kind of performance the next — although, of course, pay was pegged to annual returns and managers with good years were richly rewarded. Unsurprisingly, the firm’s executives refused to believe that variation in performance was random. “I’ve done very well for the firm and no one can take that away from me,” one told Kahneman. “I took it away from you this morning,” Kahneman recalls thinking.”

With all respect, that sounds like a criticism of internet advertising c. 2008 or so. I mean, sure, weird stuff like that happens and there are always going to be anecdotes. But no, for a long time now advertising on targetted/niche/interest-based sites has followed that niche, for the obvious reason that that's where the best ROI on the advertising is.

I mean, sure, there will always be funny hiccups, and on the edges there are genuine issues of privacy and justice and market fairness to be discussed.

But the idea that we're in some kind of advertising dystopia is simply not the experience of regular users. It's a meme[1] being perpetuated in the tech community. Regular products purchased by regular people are being advertised very effectively, and on the whole with near-universal approval of the customers.

[1] And as mentioned, an increasingly detached and frankly slightly deranged one. Real concerns about privacy are now being short-circuited with nonsense about "But Their Ads", and that's hurting the discourse we actually need.
