As in, of the version of capitalism that exists in the US? Before or after the FED was created (hello Marxist central banking) and that country has become just another tool where people decide close to nothing?

The "labor theory of value" as you put it, sounds like a noble idea only until you try to implement it, the history has shown it many times, and yet gullible people with little life experience still keep falling for it. Socialism can work in a small town where everybody is like a family, the larger the scale the more corruption and less trust ends up being part of the system, and it just turns into Venezuela or USSR with tyrannical govt and everybody stealing what they can.
Free market is how things work in nature, cruel but it works.
I've never said that I view capitalism as ideal or the best way of doing things, no system is perfect. And today you don't see much of it in the western world anyway, it's mostly aspects of kleptocracy that get falsely blamed on supposed faults of capitalism.

It is better because it works and grants the most amount of personal liberties to express yourself and live your life, pursue endeavors and invent new things. Overproduction of goods is somewhat better than underproduction (empty shelves), you're about to be able to compare the two if you live in the EU or US.

And as a side note, I find it beyond hilarious that people like you use inventions and devices that were created in many aspects thanks to capitalism, and then try to convince everybody that it's bad, on a website of a company that puts seed capital into startups (evil capitalism again!). You guys should just leave for Venezuela, and live your life there, enjoying socialism away from this terrible system that overproduces things and ruins the environment.

Regardless of whether Git is the absolute best fit (personally I’d rather use BitKeeper), the ecosystem and tooling around git makes it the best choice for almost everything.
I recently read the book and have been rereading parts of it just to try to better grasp the big picture he describes. It's an impressively large number of moving parts that Zeihan tackles in the book. His latest was my first read of his, and going back to his older works - I now realize that the new book is not all new work. He talks about "the Order" (the security overwatch you refer to) that was a result of Bretton Woods system [0] in the mid-40s.

He does weave a very compelling story about how the United States, under this system, basically competed against itself to open up a freely operating world trade market. Since we opened up these global trade routes to have no impediments, we lost a lot of market opportunities in the low technology manufacturing sectors because we created a system that allowed those things to be made cheaper elsewhere due to the open availability and dependability of said routes. But Zeihan indirectly talks about in the book how the US, through "the Order", leveled up and pushed these less desirable manufacturing out and elsewhere in the world which allowed the US to level up in the process.

But the crux of the problem is that the last 60ish years, under this "Order" was only possible due to the US preserving this unimpeded open trade platform. And that the last 4+ Presidencies have mostly ignored the framework with which this financial golden age was built on - and now we're starting to see a number of things coalesce (aging / declining population, climate issues, resources availability, etc) which is giving us a glimpse of the system starting to falter - accelerated by the global pandemic.

It does appear that the US is decoupling from internationalism after you read his work and start to see the news through these context of the ideas presented. An example might be the push for chips to come back to the United States, as of recent. While there are only a few regions in the world that can make bleeding edge chips today - the fact that the US is not capable of producing these in quantity and relies on other countries creates risk is Zeihan's "post-Order" world.

While it's a fantastic read I don't think Zeihan, himself, thinks that he'll be right on all fronts - but the scary part is that he doesn't need to be to end up with very similar end results. This will mean many countries globally will end up in the horrible position of famine due to international trade and shipping being the core component that keeps some of these inhabited areas propped up.

I've heard it said that comparing levels across companies is like comparing salaries across countries.
reading around the internet, people put way to much emphasis on titles like senior. people also seem to act like there is a standard for senior across companies. even in a company i've seen senior titled people doing work with the same scope or have the same responsibility as junior people.

ime the only thing you can count on the term senior meaning is that you're in a different pay band then other levels. other then that the term is meaningless.

> The fact that it is a law, has been a law for a while, and a version of it has been a law since nearly the beginning of the country has no bearing on whether or not that law is legal.

This is true! But it’s also immaterial to the point I’m trying to make.

I’m not arguing for or against the de jure constitutionality of the law; I’m saying that it’s unlikely any modern-day court would find it within themselves to overrule the de facto state of affairs that was created by the framers themselves.

Going cold turkey on food would be unhealthy, so some kind of management is required.

I didn't grow fat because I have a slow metabolism (and I do), or because I'm addicted to a specific unhealthy type of food; I'm fat because I made a major switch in lifestyles (hard labour to desk job) without any changes to my diet, and because I kept prioritizing other things than my health for decades. After a while it became obvious that change is needed, but boy is it difficult to lose weight once you've had it for 20 years!

The solution is managing my diet. Sure, some variables may change (such as chemicals affecting my body), but I still need to keep consuming less calories than I burn in order to do something about the issue.
With the models that are available for public use today, there are still usually signs, particularly when it comes to drawings of humans.
"Does not like Amazon" or "do not like big business" is an awfully unchariable way to frame it: She believes that "the current framework in antitrust —specifically its pegging competition to 'consumer welfare,' defined as short-term price effects— is unequipped to capture the architecture of market power in the modern economy."

The FTC exists "to protect the public from deceptive or unfair business practices and from unfair methods of competition through law enforcement, advocacy, research, and education."[1] When Amazon and other big businesses harm the public through predatory pricing and other anticompetitive business practices, it's the FTC's obvious charter to do whatever they can to stop those businesses, whoever they are and whatever they're doing.

Those things you mentioned are a-ok, but including a photo in the email signature really bugs me. There are times when I want to look for emails with an attachment, but often the company logo in the signature causes false hits.
I'm not sure you can have this conversation in many medium to large sized organizations anymore. We retired our last SVN, Mercurial and Perforce repo years ago and migrated them to git; there is a new generation of software engineer in the industry who often literally has only ever known git. Rightly or wrongly, git has overwhelmingly won out in the VCS space for now.

I also agree "distributed VCS" like git may be more complexity than many teams need. I can't remember the last time I worked on a repo offline (arguably the signature feature of distributed VCS), ever, although I can understand how this can be hugely helpful for some teams.

I first stumbled upon kiwifarms when the Christchurch livestream shooting happened. As I recall, the thread was filled with jokes, memes, and other disturbing comments made by the members of this "community" which seemed to support the shooter's actions in spirit, albeit perhaps only in jest. The owner also took this time to mock the entire country of NZ. I have no doubts about these other claims. Shouldn't any company should have every right to refuse this kind of behavior occurring on their platforms?
I might be less than half that age, but I've given up on listening to complaints about spending time making the editor nice. I don't have any super-big configs but what I do have is careful and precise and ass a result Emacs (spacemacs) feels as much at home to me as sitting on my couch. Furthermore I enjoy tweaking my workspace. If you spend all day at it you'll never get any work done, but if you don't spend any time at it you'll miss the active enjoyment of tweaking and the passive enjoyment of having a nicer workspace.

I'll not mention all the time people gripe at me about how hard it is to learn vim commands while I save so much time on large repetitive edits that I've made back my (enjoyable) investment years ago.
Most of the optimism I see seems to be more along the lines of, "Well the science isn't totally perfect, so we might be OK if we just don't do anything". In the sense that I'm lazy and don't want to change any of my habits or do any work, then you could also call me an optimist. As far as what I believe is going to happen to the world in the near future - probably not.
And neither would constitute as plagiarism by the legal definition of it. Yes, it's a problem that they are trained on material without consent but what they produce is something totally new and not even close to plagiarism.
I don't think that's really fair... I can see the argument for removing AI generated stuff in part because it doesn't require technical artistic skill (whereas digital art still does, in your ability to observe, draw with perspective, etc.)
As a manager you don't get to say "it is not my responsibility" unless you are claiming the responsibility rests above you.

There are some valid reasons to avoid using HTML email (some of which are even listed on this page -- like avoiding link obfuscation), but my god does this page come off as condescending, right from the opening line ("Plain-text email is strongly preferred").

The reality is that HTML email's too convenient to go away at this point. It fills enough niches both in people's corporate and personal lives to ever truly be undone, and having so many of the recommended clients being TUI-based (and emacs-based, apparently) shows a particular tone-deafness since TUI mail clients will almost certainly never be widely-adopted ever again, even by people who spend lots of time in a shell. Add on to that, that TUI mail clients will almost invariably render monospace fonts, which aren't great for reading things other than code.
Bezos rocket fails during liftoff, only experiments aboard
The actors at Conner Prairie, an 1836 "living museum" in central Indiana, explain that some of the nicer houses have a separate out-building just for cooking, to keep the heat away from the main living space, and reduce the risk of burning down the whole house too. Maybe we'll move back to that design, to keep the pollution in the main space down.
I just want to second this. I experienced a similar trend.

I don't think anyone suggested going cold turkey on food.
Not sure if interfaces work as you'd expect them to in Julia. Values don't have methods for instance, you just define functions for the types.

So what would an interface look like? Best I can figure out an interface is equivalent to a requirement that a couple of methods are implemented and that a bunch of fields exist, which sort of gets taken care of by the duck-typing, the only problem is that it's not documented in code.

One approach that I'd been thinking about would be defining a method IMyInterface that returns a tuple of fields and methods defined by the interface and saying a type implements that interface if there's an implementation. Technically this performs the same job, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it'd be easy to use without hefty syntactic sugar.

What do you imagine interfaces would look like in Julia?
Thanks for the context! I hope a highly-developed EU nation like Finland can ensure all owed wages are paid.
"my responses in red" assumes a lot about the visual abilities of the reader. I'm sure there's a better way to express this idea.
Sure? Which option is better totally depends on your use case. If it's a microservice running on 500 cores ($1M/year licensing), and a rewrite would cost 1 person-year (say $300k), then the rewrite is clearly worth it. But if you're running on 10 cores, and a rewrite would take 10 person-years... then it makes more sense to pay.

A single commit touching whole codebase and only says "Bug fix" (or similar) is bad. I concur.

Also commit history should have enough granularity allowing bisection and partial rewind to understand problems and other side effects.

Replying to myself as I haven’t seen it discussed yet…

Specifically the design of algorithms in dating apps is interesting. In effect Tinder at all could play “eugenics” with users based on who they show / hide.

I would assume that’s already happening to some extent as they weight profiles based on how engaging they are to others.

The other aspect is they have a strong disincentive to encourage too many successful couples, as that means lost users / revenue.
The European spheres of influence is also bogus in Eastern Europe. Eastern Poland under Russian influence. Bulgaria and Romania under Turkish and Russian influence. Greece, a failed state?

Of course! They do opt out of tracking by other companies. Doing so is free, easy, and Apple encourages you to do it. That does not mean it will translate to opting out of Apple tracking you via the hardware. When it comes to hardware, privacy is far down the list of most people's priorities.

The differences in true solar time between people living in different parts of the city will be slight enough to simply ignore, no conversions needed. Other sources of error, like traffic, easily dominate the matter. If you're trying to meet up with somebody local, it works the same as it always has.

For the google maps engineer, the matter is not so complicated. Given a geo coordinate and UTC time (within 1 second of mean solar time at the prime meridian, which is good enough), they can call into a standard routine to derive the true local time at that time and place, and display that time to the user.

To me, Clippy represents designers' obsession with a cloyingly sweet First-Time User Experience that makes the product unusable if you actually retain the user.

Was interested in the size of these things:

MVP: 8.52K
water: 31.61K
tacit: 5.49K

Tacit is most appealing to me to whip something together. Hits the best look/byte ratio for me and seems to be hardly an abuse of HTML at a glance.

I normally use actual semantic HTML with classes as styling hints and minimal CSS/JS. But I don't make anything "real", am definitely not a front-end guy, and my stuff is probably ugly to most.

It is possible to add any stock (or ETF) to your watch list within the app.

Not sure. Their problem. If the only option was shutting it down, that. It would have looked better, which could have prompted sympathetic legislation. At the very least, it would have likely avoided sanctions.
Tornado cash does something different from money laundering. If you use TC you can actually provably undo the mixing and reveal your financial history to a third party. If the government came and asked “what’s the source of these funds?” You could open the commitment and show which input is yours.

It just breaks the last model law enforcement is used to where they just siphon up all private financial data for their own uses.
Don't. Your plain text email is going to render like shit in any modern mail client, and you are going to look like fool who can't write an email.

You should actually try this if you use plain text email - email yourself and try and read it in a normal mail client (gmail, outlook, etc) on a phone. You'll need to scroll horizontally to read the message.

Now read it on a normal desktop email client. You'll see a skinny tall column of text in a tiny font.

Now reply to a normal html email thread and view it in a normal mail client. Congrats - you've just broken the formatting for everyone* on the thread. Nobody wants you see those >> things all over the place.

I don't know why this idea persists. Nobody wants to read a book in a fixed width font, nobody wants to read a web page in a fixed width font that doesn't adapt to your viewport size, etc. Hell, programmers even want colors and fancy formatting in their source code.

Plain text email is the ham radio of the internet. If you are an email hobbiest and you enjoy sending and receiving plain text emails to other hobbiests more power to you. But don't try and setup a meeting at work over your ham radio. You'll just look dumb.
