> The high-rise of the future will be a mixed-use building. Apartments might take up ten floors, offices another ten, and hotel rooms yet another ten. There will be stores, restaurants, gyms, and maybe a rooftop lounge. If you’re a tenant, you’ll have access to a wide variety of on-site services

These things have existed in New York and Chicago since the 1960s at the latest. High-rises are “new” to a lot of cities and I guess that means the idea of a single use building is cemented into the minds of developers. But in the places where they’ve been building high-rises since high-rises existed, not so much.
For web-style application code my experience writing Go code says that you totally can stop using logs and just use traces and have just as much visibility into a running process, if not more.

For library code or other deployment models I’m not sure - it’s not something I’ve had a need to experiment with

I suppose it's all because of the topic or the content itself. They try to use any technique to keep the view and to make it longer. They sometimes build miniseries from something that could be an hour max.

In Splatoon you can "post" [1] which displays this image above your character in the lobby and the main hub of the game. Most of the time people will draw using the in-game interface and the touch screen/buttons on the switch, other times people use a well known exploit to recreate images from your computer in the game using a specific type of controller [2].

After the post is created, it typically gets published to some social media account you have linked to your Nintendo account.

These posts are usually jokes, memes, or some silly throwaway pop culture line or reference but more often than not you see individuals promoting their own discord servers, twitter accounts, twitch accounts, and other social media platforms. Unfortunately you also get a few individuals who will post about LGBT related stuff, often with a sexual angle to it. No issues posting that on Twitter but I feel it's inappropriate for what is essentially a game for children.

The good news is you can report these posts to Nintendo, the bad news is I have no idea if they are moderated or not.

Is this not false? The plasma is so incredibly thin that it would cool down immediately the moment it touches the walls. Afaik the heat generated here is mostly due to neutron bombardment and not because of the plasma.

Icarus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus_(2017_film)

It's a really odd documentary because it is two films in one. It starts off as the filmmakers attempt to dope himself as a cyclist and document that. As part of that process he seeks out coaching on how to dope better, meets some Russian coaches who tell him about their experiences doping Russian athletes for the winter Olympics. That in tern leads to a documentary about the investigation into that doping.
I think if your SQL becomes spaghetti, it is time to fetch the data out of the database and then process it. SQL databases aren't a data-science studio that lends itself for extreme processing capabilities just because it is fast. Furthermore, it is the last thing that scales typically. Relational processing is what its good at. Doing things like bayesian/statistical analysis on the data in SQL is asking for trouble.
Yes, I don't think companies have really figured out how to grow the bond within teams. A lot of times employees struggle with just belonging to a company.

Strong disagree. I suspect the number of people in the world who agree with your definition is vanishingly small.

Unreal's framework is a mix of inheritance and components. It's clunky AF. AActor I'm looking at you!

Neither Unreal nor Unity provide a mechanism to cleanly query such as "give me all gameobjects in the world contain this set of components". And they definitely don't provide a mechanism to perform that query quickly.

Unity will let you search from components within a GameObject, in children, or in scene. These queries are also slow as fuck and should generally be avoided.

The type of code you write in Unity and in a Bevy-style ECS is quite different. I think ECS is overrated in some ways as it's actually pretty difficult and non-obvious how to accomplish a lot of tasks.

I don't love the name ECS. It's just not a great name. However I've come to terms with it. ECS has colloquially come to mean something that is extremely distinct from MonoBehaviors. You're welcome to keep fighting the community accepted definition if you want. I don't think it's useful or helpful to do so.

I've been making and drinking Mullein tea and it will give you a very nice, lightweight, mellow euphoric buzz.

It takes quite a bit of mullein to make a strong tea. I make mine in our little espresso maker and run just an ounce or two of water through it and then let the mullein sit and steep for about a 1/2 an hour or more, and then I run a full carafe of water through. I put a filter in the bottom of the coffee holder to keep the tiny hairs on the leaves out of the tea. A coffee filter will work fine but you'll have to cut it size.

After the first run of the water the tea will be a weak looking light green, but the 2nd round it will come out looking like a strong Black tea, and it tastes very similar to that. I add a teaspoon of raw honey to it and it's delicious.

You can buy it online but where I live it grows wild and is abundant and easy to find, and it can be found most everywhere in the U.S. and is very easy to ID.
There are some serious legacy issues with the LaTeX ecosystem. The lack of being able to version individual package dependencies for a document is a huge one. You’re at the mercy of lots of independent packages which often have complex webs of interdependency.

Probably the biggest mistake was the choice to abandon the idea of having a LaTeX 3 version with its implicit breaking of backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility means that there’s a tangle of fragility that only grows with time which is part of why the error messages are so frequently bad. Changes are a fraught proposition. This is part of what inspired my decision to start work on finl.

What I meant was you can easily add a correlation id to your logs, and send those to wherever you collect and query the logs. Then using that you can easily see the log across your services. So there isn’t any manual stitching in the logging either.

Ah, yes, the infamous small acreage with an old, failing mobile home. I grew up in the wilds. Many of the people were not living in town for good reason. It was not an environment packed with high-functioning people. A lot of abusive families. A lot of hard-scrabble survival.

I think some of this is just how one processes notable events at different ages. I have similar childhood memories, which might be tainted by subsequent coverage, of the John Lennon murder and the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt. But I also have similarly vague memories of the hospital where we went to see my grandfather after a stroke when I was <5 years old. There was later family discussion but no visual records to give seed my impressionistic memory of the street and entrance to the hospital.

I was slightly older and have unambiguous memories of Mt. Saint Helens erupting, the Iran Contra hearings, etc. My fourth grade class submitted our teacher's name as a candidate for the Challenger mission, and I was in
middle school when that mission disaster occurred. I was in high school when the Berlin Wall came down, and also high school for the first Gulf War, which was my first taste of endless, wall-to-wall TV coverage. I was waking up for work on the west coast when the 9/11 news came. The post-9/11 coverage was a weird echo of the Challenger disaster coverage (endless replay of explosion and crowd response) and the Gulf War coverage. And, I was just the right age to form a very cynical and jaded attitude towards all this, seeing it as a formulaic media orgy.

Similar to the Fark thread, the breaking news was also followed on other news aggregator and discussion sites like Slashdot. I don't really think the chatter and flood of links to articles or reference to real-time TV broadcasts was that much different than what people do with Twitter and other social media today. Aside from obviously having simpler text and images and less online video content, the difference was only in the percentage of the world population using the tools.

We don't have to go for the truth even if we believe it to be obtainable. We can start by linking to accessible sources and requiring exact citations. Wikipedia has been doing it for ages. Then we may require impactful publications to be available to the public including a comment section for professionals in that field.

then we can do an itemized bill disclosing who paid for the study again with a link to the entity explaining why they did and a comment section with the finances for professionals only.

Have fines depending on the size of the org and the size of the audience and require retractions, updates and/or disclosure of the objections raised.

That way it would be hard to publish that chocolate helps losing weight (as the funding is revealed) but if you manage to do it the citations by others would eventually link to retractions.
You're so full of crap. You can walk out your door and for a couple hundred bucks start gathering data.

Do you know of no one who works in that economy? Do you know of no one who has availed themselves of services from that economy? You probably know more of those people than you think...

Simply out of my acquaintenances that I know who have worked in that economy, I know exactly 2 who worked it specifically for the money and then got out well--not rich, but they used their money to bootstrap themselves to something else. The rest got sucked into it and got used up by it and definitely didn't come out ahead. That's >x10 right off the bat out of the people I actually know. So that's the bottom estimate.

If I match against the stories of the ones who got out, that x10 is low. By a lot. There are a lot of shady people actively always trying to put workers in the category where they can use them up. Is x100 high? Maybe, but not off by an order of magnitude.

And this is just a standard, middling blue-collar kind of area. We're not talking desperate poverty or sex trafficking as part of those numbers.

Now, Covid and OnlyFans has probably shaken this up some. That combination has meant that online interaction has gone way up. That will certainly change the calculus. But probably less than you think--after a bit of grace period, OnlyFans pimps started organizing things.

Nevertheless, very few people voluntarily choose to go into the sex economy if they have other valid options. The combination of stigma that may follow you due to permanent record (cell phone cameras, porn posting sites, etc.) as well as the possibility of getting something on your legal record permanently are both strong disincentives.

I recommend going and collecting some data, Mr. Epistemologist. Meeting some working stiffs who are just trying to figure out how to navigate life will do you some good.
Except for Apple, all phone makers managed to agree to the USB-C standard without any government regulation.

What you're referring to is a very recent law (months old) that will take effect in 2024.

And it could limit future newer ports that are technologically superior (like lightning was when the standard was micro USB)
Get a social life? If you have none outside of your work, you are doing yourself a serious disservice. Employers come and go, and an unexpected layoff is a big enough burden to bear without a support network outside of your colleagues.
Huh, and today I learned something new. Thanks!
That’s my understanding too.
Think of super Mario.

Entity is Mario, the koopa troopers, the coins, the clouds, the floor tiles, the spikes, the mushrooms. All the proper nouns.

Component is the XY location in the world, ability to jump, sprite image, the height, are they affected by gravity. All the adjectives.

System is gravity - all entities with weight drop at the same rate until they hit ground. Another system may be the collision mechanic - if a mario entity lands on a koopa entity, the Koopa dies and some sound effects plays.
I’d argue it’s the non lazy idealogical ones that are destroying it.

"You can have any color you like, so long as it's black" - Henry Ford, around 1900.

The more color choices available, the more often you will have un-economic paint runs. It's very likely much cheaper to paint 100 cars with one color, than to have to set up the whole paint-shop to paint just two cars with some unusual purple.
Do people not have discussions and build consensus in any of the meetings you attend?

Exactly. Even knowing a small bit of SQL (i.e. enough to know the full scope of what SQL can give you so you grok the limits of your ability) is a super power compared to using ORMs.

The right views, applied in the right places are like a super power compared to trying to do the same thing in application code.

I just came here to suggest the same, since I just watched it recently again. Coming from a Bosnia and born just before the war, it was really chilling watching it. I think it portrays the conflict in Balkans in some neutral and fair way.

Interesting story: during the high school, in 2006-2008, we weren't allowed to have lectures about the war. That didn't stop our history class teacher to play us this documentary. We would watch it during the class and it would take us couple of classes to finish, since it's pretty long.

Also, the full documentary is here [1] and not segmented like OP's link.

> So you're suggesting that people eliminate all direct human contact [...]

> There's no point in trying when failure is inevitable.

I didn't ask that you eliminate all human contact. I called you out for telling other people that trying to avoid it is futile and for discouraging others from doing so.

In any case, one can still do their best to avoid covid, without necessarily avoiding human contact. Avoiding all human contact is just your straw man, it seems.

> a minor respiratory virus with a >99% survival rate

It's not the acute phase that matters. I (and most people) don't care about the acute phase. So your patronizing about phobias was not only unnecessary but also widely off the mark.

Covid isn't just a respiratory illness, like the common cold, that ends with a 'full' recovery after the acute phase. The post-acute phase* incidence and morbidity is on another level of magnitude. Covid presents as a respiratory illness in its acute phase. In its post-acute phase, covid is vascular and neurological. Some physicians consider it airborne thrombotic vasculitis, since it causes clotting and damage to multiple organ systems after initial infection.

For many, post-covid disorders are typically characterized by serious issues such as brain damage--or "brain fog," to be cutesy; postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS); post-exertional malaise (PEM); and myalgic encephalomyelitis-like chronic fatigue--or "fatigue," to be dismissive. So much so that 1/3 of 10 MM job unfilled job vacancies in the US are estimated to be due to long covid absences.

*Many other viral illnesses, e.g., dengue virus, HIV, EBV, present post-acute phase issues, so this isn't unique or surprising.
I agree, your edit fits the guidelines better.

>they essentially all become directly exposed to the internet through v6 don’t they?

Most consumer routers have a stateful firewall [0] for IPv6 that basically behaves like NAT. But it's less of a problem than on IPv4 anyway. It's possible to scan the whole IPv4 Internet in less than 5 minutes. [1] And this is done constantly by many people. The IPv6 address space is way to big to do this and you have to harvest addresses. [2] It's always a good idea to have a firewall but unlike IPv4 you don't get port and vulnerability scans seconds after you expose a host to the internet.

>which kinda makes v6 pointless doesn’t it?

IPv6 is mostly useful for ISPs. There are just not enough IPv4 addresses for everyone.

I work in this area and it's true that OD hasn't fared well in various studies, but there are some people who swear by it. When it comes to matters of cognition and perception, it's hard to say what does or does not actually make a difference for people, and what evidence should be accepted.

After enough people asked for an OD option in my browser extension (which is used heavily in the dyslexia, ADHD, and vision impaired communities, as well as by other readers), we decided to offer it. I know the science behind it is not stunning, but who am I to tell people that the thing they think helps them read does not actually help them read? Even if they read more slowly with OD than without (something I'm not sure is true for people who choose to use OD), it's possible that one might enjoy reading more with OD even if it doesn't improve reading speed.

I wholeheartedly agree with your point about companies wanting to check the box on accessibility by offering OD, and it's unfortunate more companies don't do more.
