The middle class are moving out. The upper middle class already left. The wealthy already left.

The very wealthy enclave of people who are keeping the barbarians at the gate of Eastover are staying, but not for long. Even though these people own houses that are 100+ years old - many of them family homes - they know it's only a matter of time until some drugged up lowlife stumbles into their yard and causes trouble. I don't know what'll become of all those beautiful homes in Eastover, but if this continues, I guess they'll be sold on the cheap and written off as a loss?

Looks like it's already happening - https://www.trulia.com/p/ms/jackson/2733-quail-run-rd-jackso...

You'll know for sure it's bad when the Holmans move out of Jackson, if they haven't already. If you're wondering who they are, watch the movie The Help. Hilly Holbrook is based on Sondra Holman, although of course they'll deny it to their dying day.

If, when you said, "look who's moving out and look who's staying", you meant "black people are staying and white people are moving out," that's not really accurate, it's that there's a significant Venn diagram overlap with poor people and black people. Jackson has been around 80% black for a *very* long time now. It really is just coming down to "those with money" and "those without money".
> Not everyone makes it to senior

As a someone who isn't a junior, having two years of game development (in-house game engine dev) and five years of enterprise (mostly web-based internal tools & some data engineering with big data) development under my belt, but hardly a senior either, what do you think as the alternative to not "making it to senior"? Asking out of curiosity.
Nah. People are posting, and then it doesn't show up in their friends' feeds, sometimes not for days. You can see this easily if you talk to people IRL. "I posted those photos two days ago, didn't you see?" and then the photos show up in your feed a few days later. Or never.
I couldn't agree more, I think the production logistics are so good in Factorio that they're really running up against powerful diminishing returns. Better to strengthen a fascinating, secondary part of the game with a lot of space left to explore: the aliens.

Hopefully this is part of the Factorio expansion.
I find the opposite. If you know how it feels like to learn something you have a natural talent for, and you know what it feels like to be struggling, then you can choose to focus on the things that are most "efficient use of your time". Especially considering that life is short.

Of course, you can always choose to learn something you aren't best at, but at least you know the trade offs (i.e. needing to spend relatively more time to reach the same level of competence as more talented person).
Very exciting. Godot breathed life into my game dev hobby a few years ago, thrilled to see it getting more resources to grow.
Those are real jobs and should be paid a living wage or eliminated if that's entirely unfeasible. There can be arguments at the edges but I think people generally agree on that.

And even if you don't, certainly an "industry" where 99% of the people "employed" don't even make the poverty line or make back their expenses (patreon and only fans would fall here) wouldn't. (The people trying to 'make it big' are probably moonlighting as retail/restuarant anyway, just as all those who tried to make it in Hollywood did in years past).

There's certainly major abuses but the 1099 and "self employed" world is even more full of them than the W4 world.
"Descriptive" names like in the article might not be a good fit, because they're just badly chosen and sometimes lie to you.

I'd argue that actually descriptive names aren't the worst thing ever, I wouldn't mind seeing a project/source code repo named "Client Bill PDF Generator" as long as the name on the tin actually matches what's inside of it. Of course, that implies that in the case of scope creep you should be able to change it as necessary.

What this avoids is the problem of not needing a glossary to figure out what "Shelob" is supposed to be in a list of 50 different services, though I guess if you wanted to go for something fun, might as well throw them together: "Shelob: Client Bill PDF Generator".

It's kind of how I approach naming my homelab servers/saving SSH sessions, a randomly chosen hostname comes first, but what it actually does is appended to the connection name/monitoring dashboard name - mostly because what I use the servers for might change so often, that this is one of the use cases where "fun" names make sense.

Actually, Dylan Beattie once described why "fun" names might make sense, in a conference talk called "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of APIness : The Secret to Happy Code", though it also touched upon other aspects of development.

Here's the video timestamp for the problem situation: https://youtu.be/BIkXid_pBiY?t=769

Here's the video timestamp for the proposed solution: https://youtu.be/BIkXid_pBiY?t=946

The argument went along the lines of "by giving it a name, you cut out a lot of the noise". Curious, I can kind of understand that point of view, even though I'm not inclined to fully agree with it.
I know this doesn't really advance the discussion that much, but... if you haven't seen this Krazam video, it's a sketch about that exact sentence there:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

I'm completely with you that name choice is not necessarily where something needs to be fun, and most people don't realize that once you name something, it's probably around for 5-10 years whether you like it or not. Or if it succeeds or fails.

> we really need is a open sourced tractor protocol so if it breaks you can just slap a new chip there

No farmer wants this. Good servicing beats open source in hardware, in farming and frankly most non-enthusiast spaces.
You understand that the various titles programmers use mean next to nothing, right? They may correspond to pay scales for some employers, so that's a possible pro or con. Or the company may call everyone "senior" like everyone at Goldman-Sachs gets to call themselves vice president.

What a programmer (or developer, if you prefer) does and what pros and cons flow from that depends entirely on the job and project and team. It has little or nothing to do with the title.
Finding an irrelevant case to talk about does not eliminate the relevant cases you're changing the conversation away from.

We recently swapped our metrics to Grafana Cloud and were really surprised (despite being documented) that pricing is based on samples per minute not metrics series. So, for example, if we send a metric every 15s (the Prometheus default) then we get charged as if that were four separate metrics. Support was very helpful explaining everything and they reversed the charge but it still feels weird.
In spite of what some developers seem to think job hunting can be a many month process, especially over the holidays and in an environment where many companies are being very cautious about hiring. So no I don’t expect most will have jobs by January.
This makes absolutely no sense, and is totally your own mental trip. Your friends (at least some of them) want to see stuff from their friends. Now, Facebook might not show your photos in their feeds, but most people would rather have that than more ads.
> It is standard practice with influenza to update the stains.

A questionable one. Depending on the year, getting the influenza shot has been shown to give you negative efficacy. How nice would that be if we saw a -50% efficacy this year, wouldn't that be problematic for our strapped healthcare systems.

> In the 2014-15 season (when, as mentioned, the vaccine was unchanged from the year before and a drifted H3N2 strain was circulating), "negative effects of prior vaccination were pronounced and statistically significant," the researchers found. VE in those who received only the 2014-15 vaccine was estimated at 65% (95% CI, 25% to 83%), whereas VE for patients vaccinated two seasons in a row was -33% (95% CI, –78% to 1%).
FB is also the only popular platform where you can do actual "miniblogging" as in record and share your actual thoughts and experiences in a few-paragraphs textual format. But that’s pretty much the opposite of trendy right now.
> you're going to have a list of hard-to-distinguish projects like:

What's hard to distinguish? These are projects that do something with CSS. If you don't need css, you skip them. If you need a polyfill, you only look at polyfill ones to see what you need.

Now, let's imagine your list is "creatively" named like

- shelob

- arcana

- custard

- escalope

- virtuocsso

- jester-css

- etc.

Ah yes, this is so much easier to distinguish, isn't it?

I noticed this about google a long time ago - they started "dumbing" down their search results. Don't blame them because that's where the money is, but it is annoying when you're searching for something and the results are full of celebrities because someone famous happened to say something like your search term.

The halting problem is only one example of what we would today call an RE-complete problem. Another example, which is equivalent in strength to the halting problem, is mathematical theorem proving, which is precisely the topic of this very article (as this is one way to interpret Gödel's theorems).

Any algorithm powerful enough to generate a proof or refutation of an arbitrary sentence in first-order logic is equivalent in strength to one which can solve the halting problem. This general framework of thinking has often led people to declare that computers will never be able to perform automated theorem proving of arbitrary theorems, for this very reason.

This very narrow analysis doesn't square well with the "real world," particularly in the 21st century, where it is widely projected that AI will eventually get, let's call it, "very good" at this kind of thing, with much fanfare about how it will design the next generation of itself and possibly turn planet Earth into grey goo in the process.

These two perspectives are not really in conflict, because when we talk about an AI that is "very good" at doing math - one exponentially better than a human, which is capable of solving any problem a comparatively puny human mind is capable of coming up with, or perhaps using stochastic methods with a small but nonzero failure rate, and so on - we are talking about an infinitely lower set of goalposts than we have when we talk about the traditional halting problem. To qualify as solving that, an algorithm must be "infinitely good" at this task - it must never fail, even if the probability of doing so is exponentially small, and its failure mode can never be an infinite loop, etc - all things which we do not care about in a realistic machine learning sense.

These things are really very technical statements that need to be interpreted in a very precise and careful way - they are very powerful ideas that shaped 20th century computing, but when we carelessly use them to make claims like "computers will never be able to do _______," we do them a disservice.

When I played the game, it seemed pretty obvious that the main character is evil, in a literary sense. There's no redeeming qualities like in other games like Uncharted. It's just one person who most likely accidentally landed on a planet and solves that self-imposed problem with violence. The fact that the bugs attack depending on pollution confirms it.
In the meanwhile, a vaccine targeting BA.4 and BA.5 is being approved at these moments where I live. If I manage to avoid an infection for some another months and get the jab, I guess I'll be fine for the time being.

What about Ukraine? Should they refrain from defending themselves? Lest it cause blood shed?

I really don't get your POV Putin has repeatedly shown they he will invade other countries. If we don't stop him at Ukraine then next it may well be a nato member and then how much blood shed will there be?

Your suggested course just rewards aggression. Sometimes you need to stand up to bullies. Putin is a bully.

> I'll never understand this mentality, where a silly project name is a source of "fun." I would never dare tell anyone else what should be fun for them... except in this case, where I will say that funny names are not actually fun.

I worked in a company that would "break ground" a new microservice every other week with overlapping scope of other microservices. (poor planning in resource allocation), which lead to some services named after Greek mythology that loose describes what service does...sometimes... Then they started giving more descriptive names, services that just do X and named X, except later they started doing Y, and now it's confusing.

Then we had service XYZ (abbreviated from what it supposed to do), it took too long to build, so naturally management decided to make a Z service and remove functionality from XYZ.

I think the author comes from a similar place where scope for service is constantly changing, and silly names are the only source of dopamine.

Have you considered putting a Linux distro on your laptop? It would probably be much faster than Windows 10.
Nice! I don't think W4 has created any games though. To get some REAL traction, Godot needs some full well-known games published. Basically, we need a game to do to Godot, what Undertale and Nuclear Throne did to GameMaker.

We have Wrought Flesh by Miziziziz, but other than that I can't think of a single game actually produced by Godot. I know it is capable of it, but we need a "killer app" to make it really blow up.

My Samsung Galaxy A22 has headphone jack (which gets used all the time), dual SIM, dedicated SD card slot, NFC, all day battery, and 5G support.

It came out this year — there are plenty of sane manufacturers releasing phones with features that people want out there.

Use cases for 3.5mm jack that Bluetooth can't handle:

* Never having to worry about headphones running out of charge

* Zero added latency - critical for music making apps (somewhat remediated with latest BT versions, but good luck finding latency specs on the box)

* Switching between devices instantly (work/personal laptop and phone) - especially not fun if you use more than 2 of them

The last issue is especially annoying. It's 2022, I should be able to pair my headphones instantly by tapping them to the device I want to pair them to, without screens and buttons. Accelerometers exist. Proximity sensors exist.

But noooo, apparently, UX is not a consideration in the design of this godforesaken protocol.
It's free as in "you have free time to build it yourself". Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

I dunno, I don't really mind self-hosting monitoring infrastructure. I basically pay for a website uptime checker to check that Alertmanager is working. If Alertmanager is down, obviously you have to manually check to see what else is down, but it doesn't fail open.

I wrote a little glue to make this straightforward for anyone else who uses Prometheus/Alertmanager: https://github.com/jrockway/alertmanager-status This ensures that the website check checks the health of the whole alerting pipeline; Prometheus has an always firing alert, Alertmanager is set to send that alert to alertmanager-status, and alertmanager-status starts failing its external health check if it isn't seeing that alert firing at the configured interval. If one of [Prometheus, Alertmanager, alertmanager-status] fails, then your website health check fails.

Private plant breeding corps have only been around for <100 years (many <40). Many research universities and non-profits (CGIGAR, IRRI, CIMMYT, etc.) do plant improvement and had a huge head start. Yet these innovations didn't arise from them.

I would argue they've simply been outcompeted. The market has spoken in many cases. You can still buy non-IP seed, easily. But because there is no-IP, its hard to recoup money and reinvest it thus they stagnate.

No. That's not the social contract for employment. It's dangerous to think it is. There's a mutual need from both parties. When that need changes, both parties are free to respond. Forcing a company to keep someone would be just as bad as forcing someone to stay.

What we also don't know is the companies financial situation. Keeping people on when they can't be afforded can be a way to make a company completely collapse. I was in two startups that would have collapsed completely, without layoffs, around the time of the last recession. This is why the "keep x months of salary" are rules you strictly follow.
This period is best understood as a brutal hangover from several years of market subsidized growth. We had cheap Ubers, cheap meal delivery, and free web services all paid for by a speculative bubble which is in the process of popping.

That sounds authoritarian to me.

Definition of authoritarian

1 : of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority 2 : of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people an authoritarian regime.

__________

The logic in: criticism != hatred is quite sound.

a definition of criticism: the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

a definition of critique: a detailed analysis and assessment of something

a definition of hatred: intense dislike or ill will

_________

TLDR: disapproval does not equal intense dislike

The idea of extending the concept of the LARP to experience real world, difficult scenarios is remarkable. Media/political polarization is a real problem today. Applying the concept of real world workshops to bridge party lines is out there today [0], but maybe tackling difficult concepts head-on isn't the best method. For some subjects (abortion, gay conversion therapy as in the article) stepping out of your own shoes into another via imagination or fantasy would tackle it well.
