More than a decade ago, I blamed the victims. I still do, in a way. When you build on top of someone else's platform, you are engaged in digital sharecropping. The platform owner acts like they own your customers, and you are tilling the landlord's fields in exchange for 70% of what you can earn selling your app.

You may think the landlord is taking an outrageous cut of "your" sales, but the landlord thinks they own the relationship with their customer, and you only exist to do product/market fit and sizing research for them.

Joel Spolsky put it extremely well way back in the day in his "Strategy Letter V:" All else being equal, demand for a product increases when the prices of its complements decrease... Smart companies try to commoditize their products’ complements.

(Link: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/ Recent HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26657166)

Platforms always want to commoditize the apps that run on top of their platform. If they don't buy you and bundle your product, they'll do everything in their power to drive your revenue down until you are living on ramen noodles.

Anti-trust might help stop them from turning cross-platform apps into uni-platform apps, but the larger problem that remains unsolved is that platforms are powerful and it is in their best interests to drive app revenue down to zero.
ITA Matrix (also by Google) is way more powerful, though missing some airlines.
Being that it's proven and we know for a fact that human intelligence is on a spectrum, why can't a baby be born with a 300 IQ.

Given that Intelligence is not directly co-orellated with success....and tons of Mensa people are waiting tables and doing jobs requiring no advanced IQ.

The real sad part is that there may be a baby with a 300 IQ who is trapped in a shitty dead end job by capitalism.
To steelman this argument (to the extent that I can): we can in fact attribute a great deal of harm to highly processed ingredients, while there are a number of plants and animals humans have lived with and eaten for millenia, and we've identified the natural products that are poisonous. Weed is one of the plants that humans have coexisted with and consumed for millenia, and societies with high weed consumption don't appear to be significantly sicker than ones that don't.

(I can't think of a way to steelman around the fact that there are many toxic plant and animal substances, and some highly processed ingredients are completely harmless)
Huh? What does republicanism have to do with identity politics?
These were great machines. I would wait till they were 4 years old and then buy them super cheap as my daily driver. 3:2 aspect ratio screens and solid build quality, great battery life from their second device onwards. I got a 2013 pixel in 2017, a 2015 pixel in 2019, and last year I got the 2017 pixelbook. It's a shame that even as a fan of the product I wasn't willing to support it at MSRP or in any way that would have contributed to its success.
Funny, you just explained how easy it was. But now it's so hard that Apple engineers can't just rebuild the parts they need?

I think the simpler explanation is one you'll find in many comments here: Dark Sky was unusually good, and Apple bought it to get all that goodness to themselves.
> I know enough about the breadth and depth of computer science

Its not about learning. Its about creating. After a while, you will have created a majority of the potential things you can create and everything will start to look the same. If you are a CS researcher and will remain as such, your perspective may be applicable. In the actual industry that apps, services are created and provided to the users, its not. So as long as you stay in research and not go into actually making apps, you'll be fine. That is, if constantly learning and not creating does not start to bother you...

This is common practice in German primary level education. The downside is if your kid is unlucky to have one of the bad teachers…they have the same bad teacher for years.
I mean… why would the royal family be allowed to “keep” anything in an abolished monarchy? Obviously you should just seize roughly all the property. It’s a product of the State, not the royal family working hard
I use Maslow’s Hierarchy it Needs when discussing stuff like this in my consulting gig.

E.g.: it doesn’t matter what fancy SIEM tool you’re using if you never patch anything and the root password is “password”.

“But the vendor assured us that it would solve our security issues!” is the inevitable reply.
It isn't people you're talking about, it is only men. The issue is only men are giving their opinion, which they feel very strongly about, and it is a circumstance they, biologically speaking, can never experience.

So please take the advice of another man: whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. A woman's right to do as she pleases with her body is as absolute as a man's right to do as he pleases with his body.
In what legal sense is the YouTuber with the pug less protected by the "art form" argument than the movie production? Did the latter get a permit for Nazi jokes? (Sincere question, maybe they did: UK speech norms and laws are incredibly alien to me)
My company actually does this - we just found that a) we wanted to be able to tell our clients about new features instead of them “stumbling on them,” which makes more sense when you’re dealing with low numbers of high value high touch clients; and b) we wanted to have greater confidence that our code was working properly in the absence of a thorough test suite. Feature flags could help with a) and a good test suite would help with b) though.
Do you mean flimsy excuses like, you’re inciting violence against others? You’re allowing your users to coordinate stalking?
One could argue, myself included, that Apocalypse Now is neither a war or anti-war movie.

I think it's a movie about the developing psyche in humans under extreme duress, with the backdrop of a war that happens to be the US/Vietnam conflict.

That's exactly why I think ambivalence should be allowed in this case; the war is merely the backdrop which influences the psyche problems that we explore within.
TIL the difference between strongly typed and statically typed. I’ve been using them interchangeably. Thanks for letting me know!

I’ve tried F# briefly and quite liked it too. I would like to get into it more later.
I remember when I had it, I was trying to get an old car running to bring it to a workshop. I was sitting in it, trying to disable the immobiliser as I’ve done about 100 times before, and just could not do it for the life of me. My troubleshooting skills were gone. All I could do was repeat the same actions and get more frustrated as I couldn’t start the engine.
Any tool that allows lots of people to make stuff easily is good in my book. And Twine has allowed to do that. Twine has helped professional production companies to sketch interactive stories before full blown production: Black Mirror's Bandersnatch used Twine to sketch the choices that players can make (https://www.pcgamesn.com/black-mirror/charlie-brooker-twine). That also means that there is a lot of bad stuff too, but that's fine, that's part of what a good tool allows to do.

Palm oils in particular are not very healthy and are suspected to be a leading cause of diet-induced heart disease. Not all fats are created equally, or in equal proportions. Palm oils are high in specific saturated fats that are linked to cardiovascular disease.

Palm oils are some of the most common fats found in prepared foods, especially foods that need solid fats at room temperatures. The majority of peanut butter preparations on shelves in the US have had all of their peanut oils removed and then replaced with palm oil for "better" texture and to prevent separation.

Using your own numbers, if you're spending 200/month more on gaming then that's 500 hours/month or approximately every waking hour. Are you really gaming that much? And even if you are, that's a lot cheaper than practically any other hobby you could spend that much time on.
It seems quite unlikely that the idle power draw difference between Intel and AMD is doing anything at all to your room. The chiplet design is hurting AMD's idle power, but it's still going to be far from a "large" difference. Your monitor is probably using more power than an idling Ryzen CPU is.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm for people with diet. For some reason, personal food choice and health ideology seems to fall into the same category as religion and politics.
Sure, I was fishing. I guess I should have just outright said "Your individual experiences with individuals in a group are invalid when discussing things that can be empirically studied, such as the effects of using cannabis on various groups," and went on with my day.

By the way, labeling an undesirable group with "mental issues" has been done many times in the past, sometimes even with "good" intentions.
It's a bit different when an unholy amount of people show up for it, compared to some regular 'a funeral'
Getting the job done is all that matters.

This is why an experienced developer is sometimes the wrong person for the job to build a startups first version, unless they are able to fully embrace the mindset of prioritising speed over everything.

Beware of experienced developers who get the job of writing a startups first code and who start talking about tests/CI/CD/feature branches and all that stuff.

Avoid security holes and take backups, that's all that matters and anything else should be actively avoided.
Thinning out weak to let the strong grow is standard forestry practice. No one expects 100% of saplings planted to mature into fully grown trees. I am just saying, don't believe timber industry numbers on face value. The 2 or 3 trees planted for each tree harvested does not translate into a net increase of forest size. If you compare forest numbers in the USA now to 50/100 years ago, we have seen tremendous growth. However, the number has stabilized in the last few decades.

Apart of me thinks that maybe you're trying to be provocative, but you don't actually believe that second bit, do you? It really makes me wonder what kind of books you've been reading.
something must've driven the massive increase in grow activity up there. I'd think a massive expansion of the market due to legalizationis at least a plausible explanation.

Even if the ultimate cause of the problem turns out not to be legalization, the illegal grows are still the proximate issue, and need to be addressed.

"Update your software" as I am always told as a user.

Or use better software. Or use better languages. I don't have 11 versions of ffmpeg installed despite it being required (or optional) for 11 other packages.
Would love to learn which areas of OTel you find are onerous to set up and maintain. Experiences can differ from language to language which is why I ask. For example, with JS/Node there's a convenient SDK package and autoinstrumentation metapackage, but with Go you need to install a lot more stuff to get an equivalent experience.
I think of artistic endeavour as a bit like the inverse of txt2img, but running in your head, and just projecting to the internal latent space, not all the way to words. It's not just aesthetic, it's about triggering feelings through senses. Images need to connect with the audience through associations with scenes, events, moods and so on from the audience members' lives.

Aesthetic choices like colour and shapes and composition combine with literal representations, facial emotions, symbolic meanings and so on. AI art so far feels quite shallow by this metric, usually only hitting a couple of notes. But sometimes it can play those couple of notes very sweetly.
It does indeed have a large effect, the science is clear. Everything from gut bacteria to how often you eat meals can affect the % of caloric intake that gets converted into fat.
Yeah, the Anglo-Saxon period was a time of a much less sophisticated building techniques, the UK was an early loss from the Western Rome and the sophistication of the material culture under the Anglo-Saxons there was grim. The Romanesque style of the Normans was largely a continuation and development of late Imperial Roman building traditions (loaded with deliberate callbacks) that grew very sophisticated. That part of the continent had hung onto more of the late Roman engineering traditions that were lost in Britain, so they were able to produce much larger, more impressive buildings, and they had a much richer cultural vocabulary in their iconography and art of their churches as well.
This makes me want to ask: What is Happiness?

She also had a "fuck imperialism" sign, and was outside of the cathedral in which QEII's body was lying. Cultures that are more fragile wrt speech norms may object to that.

A better example is the man calling out "who elected him" to the proclamation of Charles III, at a ceremony that had as little as possible to do with funerary rites while still dealing with her son's ascension.

The better example is

By any reasonable measure they're not. £1 for "a few hours" of fun is a very cheap hobby.
DarkSky has a very nice UI... but the actual weather data and predictions seem lackluster at best.

If they were confident in their predictions, they'd compare against competitors - for example, "If you use our 3-hour weather prediction to decide the best time to go for a 20 minute jog each day, you'll stay dry 16% more of the time than using NOAA weather predictions".

Feels like we're going in circles. I guess that's what you get for nitpicking :)

JIT can indeed do a lot of tricks to reduce JIT overhead. But you can't present that as a benefit of JIT over AOT: AOT doesn't have JIT overhead at all.

JIT can definitely trade space for time. I bet that JIT will inline/memoize certain calls based on call frequency.

The only thing I'm arguing against is that low call frequency (like zero branch executions) somehow provides room for optimization compared to AOT. The only optimizations you can do in this case are optimizations for JIT overhead itself.

Anything beyond that is simply not possible: you can't eliminate a branch and detect the fact that you were supposed to enter eliminated branch at the same time: the simplest mechanism that allows you to do that is branching!

It never fails to amaze me how the benefits of hindsight can cause us to forget how little we used to know or how long it took us to learn. This is the exact type of science that we’re arguing needs to be extended to cannabis.

100% to this. Apple weather has a lot of the functionality but it’s not close when it comes to the experience. For wet climates like the PNW this is a hard change.
When I was at Google it was pointed out that people who got sucked out of coding and into architecture eventually wind up losing contact with what works. After that they might sound smart, but were actually useless for both coding and architecture.

There are a lot of organizations where people can be sucked down that career path. If you find this happening to you, switch roles or switch jobs. Because it is an anti-pattern and a dead end.
> "Let her go! It's free speech!"

The UK unfortunately doesn't have freedom of speech, it has freedom of expression.

> The woman, 22, was arrested "in connection with a breach of the peace," a Police Scotland spokesperson told NPR, adding that she was formally charged and released, and her case is now pending at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Just to add, you can also be arrested at speakers corner if you upset enough people there and there is "reasonable cause" that they may become violent, despite you speaking peacefully.

This NPR article is false and clearly doesn't understand the laws of the UK.
"misogyny"

Uh, no.

Criticism does not equate to hatred.

And the more the word "misogyny" is misused by being thrown around frivolously, the less useful it is as an accurate descriptor.

You do our language and society a disservice by conflating the concepts of hate vs critique.
In my experience, tests speed you up in the short-run too. I've run this experiment myself at my own company within different teams. Code that lacks tests has the most bugs, the most QA returns, the most churn, etc....we end up spending (read: WASTING) much more time and money fixing broken code that has no tests than any other code in our entire codebase.
Are you referring to Synder v Phelps where the Supreme Court held that a distant (1000 ft away) protest didn't qualify for monetary (tort) damages for the deceased's family?

Because that case doesn't strike down the state laws preventing protests in close proximity. It just ruled that the private citizen can't get lots of money for emotional distress caused by a protest.
But surely no one has been saying that cannabis isn't a risk for pregnant women, let alone that it could be beneficial to smoke it, right?
This is wrong. Seize it. Make it National Trust property. Job done. Doesn’t need an aristocracy present in it.

That sounds more like he knew the subject (literature) rather than knowing the material (n'th grade literature). In my experience the people best equipped to do something like that are people that have knowledge beyond the class they teach - the high school teacher that has a phd in the subject they are teaching, the university teacher that is currently involved in research etc. Especially in physics and mathematics I think this is relevant, as there are many times where questions naturally lead into topics from a much more advanced level. Like say the teacher explains that 3 isn't divisible by 2 and someone pupil says it is in fact divisible and the answer is 1.5. A teacher with solid knowledge of abstract algebra, that knows peanos axioms, and how Q is constructed from Z will be better equipped to deal with that.

On the other hand I could see how teaching one and the same class over and over might lead to a bored teacher and a narrow perspective.
