I'm not convinced.

In programming language / library design, you can often "have your cake and eat it too" if you can find a better design. Better designs take years to invent and mature - jQuery came out in 2006. React came out in 2013 (7 years later) and I think it improved on jQuery in just about every way.

But now its 2022. Its been 9 years since React came out. As far as I can tell, clever folks have improved on how react works in just about every way in turn.

What deep tradeoffs are Solid or Svelte making in exchange for their speed? I can't spot any. As far as I can tell, React's virtual DOM diffing is pure overhead - so good riddance. Solid and Svelte use a different approach to deal with state (similar to React's hooks) that honestly I prefer anyway. Dealing with state in react is a mess.

Where do the new frameworks lose to React on any technical metric? Svelte is designed to be compiled, but lets be honest - in 2022 almost everyone is compiling our JS anyway.

Go ahead and build a matrix of frameworks if you want. The competition is fierce. Like jQuery before it, React hasn't aged well. I'd bet good money that react, like jQuery, doesn't come out on top.
Indeed, and this is not in any way a shakedown. It is, in fact, an example of a victory over the mirror-image scenario, where a well-endowed entity rides roughshod over ordinary people by threatening to ruin them before, or even if, justice prevails.

Each time we pivoted and applied to YC (and were rejected), we learned something new.

Respectfully, I’ve never particularly understood this approach to business. It seems like a lot of VC-funded or VC-hopeful companies take the approach of “I know I should be in business, I just don’t know in what” which feels entirely backwards to me. I understand the company that starts out selling one service (renting DVDs for instance) and then shifts to an adjacent business (streaming movies) because one falls out or there’s opportunities to expand. But the hunting around for a market seems bizarre.
i upgraded from the u shaped bose earbuds to the newish no-u version. Very similar battery life and better sound on the new ones. shrug

I do miss the U for the whole 'can't lose one of these' though .. that said I haven't yet lost one of these (it's been about 2 years).

Why would we not want to stop others? Why not consider a positive side effect of deterring others? Sorry, what are you saying here does not make any sense to me at all.

It seems like that you are suggesting that we could simply not punish people at all for first offense, as long as they can credibly promise that they won’t reoffend. After all, if they won’t reoffend, under what you say, there is no point in punishing them at all. Sure, this means that people will know that they can scot-free offend one time, and so many more will likely do, especially if the risk of being caught is relatively low, but you explicitly want to ignore that. This is crazy to me. No society ever worked like that.

Additionally, deterrence function is not “virtue signaling”, this is not what the term means.
They are perfectly happy playing in the current open ecosystem, why should they be forced to change?

I'm maybe being a bit dramatic by saying I'll ban them, but they will certainly be given a lesson on taking a stand, and if necessary making sacrifices, to defend freedoms and not give in to coercion.

It's not at all 'microsoft bad', except in this case, it seems they are.
The only people I ever see asking that are right-wing pundits trying to convince left-leaning voters not to bother voting, and occasionally burned-out centrists who've fallen for it.

I've never seen a serious left-wing voter/activist/politician come out with the claim that "well, the right are just as bad as we are".

"We are not so different, you and I" is always the last-ditch claim of the villain, knowing that they have no moral ground to stand on, trying to drag down the people who are trying to do better for not being perfect. And it's bullshit. Always has been, always will be.

That's what you would take away if you read Oberlin's take on the matter: https://www.oberlin.edu/news-and-events/bakery-litigation/10...

However, they don't mention any of the emails/texts that came out between administrators for some reason, which is what put the nail in the coffin for Oberlin. If you read the FAQ by the prosecution, you'll see that almost all of the fun details are in the private communications between administrators, not in what they publicly did: https://www.lawlion.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/UPDATED-F...

How Meredith Raimondo has a job lined up outside of Oberlin is beyond me. I doubt she's actually learned a lesson, especially because she isn't bearing any individual culpability, and I have to imagine she will just be a little bit more discreet while planning smear campaigns and tortious interference against family businesses.
> Forests require vasts amounts of land,

When people say this they typically mean the land is no longer usable for another purpose. I don't think this is the case with 'forests,' let alone adding more trees to empty spaces in currently populated areas.

> may be the only large-scale practical way going forward

Why must it be "large-scale?" "We could plant trees, in addition to implementing many other common sense measures and improvements collectively." "Yes, but is it web-scale?"

The only reason to do this is to create a large for profit industry driven solely by monopoly granting regulatory bodies as opposed to many individual markets driven by reasonable and non-discriminatory laws and enforcement.

Apparently, Oberlin's President sent out the following email which states their insurance will pay

> Dear Obies,

> Today, Oberlin College and Conservatory initiated payment in full of the $36.59 million judgment in the Gibson’s Bakery case, an amount that represents the awarded damages and interest owed. Please see the college’s public statement below.

> While this outcome is a disappointment, our financial plans for this possibility, which included insurance coverage, mean that this payment will not impact or diminish our academic or student life experience, or require us to draw down Oberlin’s endowment.

> Like me, the majority of the campus was not here at the beginning of this matter in 2016. But it is also true that this case has been difficult for all of us who love this institution and its hometown. I am looking forward to all that is ahead, and remain focused on Oberlin’s core mission of providing a truly excellent liberal arts and musical education.

I'm very late to this party, but here's an amazing list of buildable keyboards[0], specifically linked are the split ones (like Ergodox).

Most of these today run QMK and specifically the Configurator[1].

I recommend most people stay away from the Ergodox unless your hands are larger and have a specific reach. While a great keyboard back in 2012-2015, the thumb cluster is outside of comfortable for most people and there have been a lot of improvements in this area over the years.

If building a keyboard yourself isn't your thing, I highly recommend the keyboard.io crew.

I have mixed feelings. Apple insists on a closed world (non-root) access with their products. As such, I think I agree with his position. Also, Apple has Billions of dollars.

If it were a small company that was user friendly, had open APIs, was transparent about their bug fixes, and non-monopolistic behavior (meaning the CEO never said: "buy your mom an iphone"), I would think differently.

But yeah, Apple can pay. Especially with the spineless leaders in the FTC and other bureaus designed to prevent monopolies.

Even just logistically, to replicate this takes a young start that's getting less and less likely. If we assume Charles has 10-20 years left on him, that'll make William 50-60.

The actual title is

> Widespread misperceptions of long-term attitude change

Not "Study: Americans consistently overestimate how much culture has changed." And from the abstract

> Participants overestimated the amount of change on 29 attitudes (57%), underestimated change on 10 attitudes (20%), estimated change in the wrong direction on 10 attitudes (20%), and estimated change correctly on only two attitudes (4%). (out of 51 different attitudes)

Maybe we can change the title. When I read this abstract I got the feeling that Americans just don't know what's going on. Which honestly makes far more sense. Things are changing rapidly recently. It especially makes sense when you consider we're isolating our social groups more (internet makes this easier but isn't a sole contributor) and so there would be a biased estimate for over estimation.

What's also really interesting is that going through some of these is that it seems that people in the 70's greatly underestimated many things. For example when asked about abortion with there was serious risk people estimated (in 72) that only 49% of people were in favor but actually 87% were in favor. Now perception has changed to 71 and actual to 90. Another example is concerns about climate change. In 1990 people estimated 28% were concerned but actually 61% were concerned. Now it is 65.5 vs 65.

If you just came here for the title it really does look like there is a lot more interesting data than what the title says. It does seem like some things we've gotten better at getting estimates on while others are more difficult. Worth at least looking at the figures. But definitely could be some interesting followup analysis.

This is a complaint I used to hear about young software developers even a few decades ago. It's the same today, but those accused then are now complaining the same for the current crop of developers. I guess it is a skill that people pick up late and slowly, but they eventually do it nonetheless.
I feel React has similar problems as Python, it was here first and thus it has become too ingrained in the culture, too many things were built on top of it. It will take a long time before something comes along that will de-throne them and even then you'll still see a lot of demand for devs who know it because there is too many codebases that people don't want to re-write. I don't think you can say the same thing for jQuery because first of all you couldn't build the same things with it and if you tried you probably hated it enough that you would jump at the chance to re-write your project with something like React.

Minecraft wasn’t built as a kids game. It was a neat indie game that let you build stuff.

> Carmen Twillie Ambar: archaic chase-and-detain policy regarding suspected shoplifters was the catalyst for the protests.

If you witness a crime you can arrest the criminal. It's basic civics. Something you might find about in an institution of higher learning. Don't know if they have one of those in Oberlin.
>Michigan officials are investigating

Shouldn't Michigan officials get investigated by someone else? like FBI?
Why should my punishment be more severe because you want to stop others from doing something in the future?
That's a disproportionate amount of punishment for the individual.
Punishment should be equal to the crime, not have an additional component to be used to deter others who I have no affiliation with.

Public prosecution is absolutely terrible way to deal with dealing out punishment. Not all individuals are the same, not all crimes are the same, but once you are given a guilty verdict judges are expected to give out sentencing guidelines that match similar tag lines/crimes regardless of circumstances.

Punishment should be more personalized and should be a performance improvement plan based on the individual and how they respond to the effective plan/action.
Was the employee first fired because of the broken lock?
> The college said then that the bakery’s “archaic chase-and-detain policy regarding suspected shoplifters was the catalyst for the protests.”

IIRC, the employee tried to take a photo of the shoplifter with his phone. The shoplifter took/smashed the phone or something. This makes it much more reasonable for the employee to try to stop the shoplifter from getting away. It wasn't like he tried to cuff the guy off the bat. He started with taking a photo but was thwarted.
I hired and worked with an Oberlin graduate. Great person. Talented engineer.

What specifically puts you off their entire student body; past, present, and future?
"You can be banned for anything" here means "I couldn't just be a jerk whenever I want, so I'm upset".

None of the ban reasons are particularly egregious for a game a lot of kids play.

It's a social event, there are social norms, not sticking to them will get you ostracized. This is how society works and enforces sustainable and mutually beneficial interaction patterns.
I won't say I agree with that type of behavior, but to not extract knowledge from a tragedy seems nearsighted.
This was a civil trial, not criminal. The college never plead guilty. They were found liable. The college had competent legal representation and there was no coercion.
I don't have one. If there's 100k people in the beta, do you have a link to reviews or anything? I'm curious how well it works, compared to Apple's version where you apparently have to wave your phone in the air a certain way. Maybe with LEO receivers that isn't necessary?
Banana Republics were about Fruit not oil. Lots things like Contra and other things the US does are for lots of reasons.

The US$ is the reserve currency and has been for quite a while and this is for a number of reasons but the idea that its all because of oil is simple not the case.

The US fucked with countries for lots of reasons, oil is an issue but not the dominant one.

Some people simply overestimate the impact of oil on policy choices.

Its is incredibly short sited and wrong when people attempt to make everything about oil when there are lots and lots of other reason that actually influence policy makers.

Some more interesting context from your link:

When the author anonymously interviewed students, he gathered the following responses:

• “I totally have [taken things from a store downtown without paying for it].

I think I’ve stolen from Gibson’s twice. I took a packet of those noodles that
come in boxes… It wasn’t expensive and I felt like it. I just preferred not
paying for it, but I could have.”

• A female student admitted that she has stolen many things from Gibson’s
Bakery and Ben Franklin’s. “I took a wine bottle. I had a large winter jacket
and I put the bottle in the lining and I walked right out.” And, “I took pens
from Ben Franklin because individually the pens cost $4 and I thought it
was a racket.”

• “Probably [I have stolen from downtown] but let me think about it…yeah,
no, I do that all the time.” The same student then talked about how they
stole a one-hundred-dollar ($100) bottle of wine from Gibson’s Bakery.

• “I have stolen from Gibson’s, Kim’s, IGA. I took some dumb stuff. From
Gibson’s I took some steak knives for an avocado that I also stole. I was
really drunk and that was really bad.”

• “I think I’ve taken candy and just small shit from Ben Franklin’s and the
Oberlin Market.”

• “[I have taken] a few pens from Ben Franklin over the years… they’re hard
to resist.”

• One said she’s never paid for Chapstick while at Oberlin for four years.

• The author: “I myself have stolen from the very people I’ve interviewed for
this story. I could have paid for the items easily, but I chose to steal them
instead.”

This student and/or institutional attitude was supported by the statistics provided from the
Oberlin Police Department of thefts at Gibson’s Bakery from January 1, 2011 to November 14,
2016. These statistics show that of the 40 adults arrested for theft during that time period, 33
of those adults (82.5%) were Oberlin College students.

I've noticed there is a tendency among folks on the left (and for all I know it's also true of folks on the right) where people who do as you say are cast out and labeled "centrists", creating a dynamic where internal criticism is silenced.

From the nytimes article, the judgment will be paid by Oberlin's insurance company, it will not come out of the endowment, they have not apologized, they are not accepting they were wrong, there have been no resignations.

Meredith Raimondo, the Dean of Students at the time, who was passing out flyers and far more, nine months ago to accept a position as Vice President of Student Affairs at Oglethorpe University https://oberlinreview.org/25680/news/former-dos-meredith-rai...

From the NYTimes:

> In a statement, Oberlin said that “this matter has been painful for everyone.” It added, “We hope that the end of the litigation will begin the healing of our entire community.”

> The college acknowledged that the size of the judgment, which includes damages and interest, was “significant.” But it said that “with careful financial planning,” including insurance, it could be paid “without impacting our academic and student experience.” Oberlin has a robust endowment of nearly $1 billion.

So what has Oberlin really learned?
