With schooling/education, I suspect there's a potential trap for any society where the "norms", should they entail sufficiently large institutions, as they do now in the West, can become excessively "sticky" and inertial as they, and, pivotally, their institutions, become monopolistically attached to prestige.

Once this occurs, it may be too difficult to reason about alternatives because competing within the unspoken game, as you put it, is too dominant a social factor and becomes the social air that we're all breathing. The educational institution and culture arguably becomes (and now the unworkable armchair philosopher comes out) a meta-norm or "Grundnorm"[1] from which others such as what makes a worth-while life, who has "prestige" and power (both real and earning) etc.

For a few reasons, I think allowing this to go too far is undesirable for a society. And with the West having transitioned in modernity to this idea that nearly everyone should be getting a tertiary education of some sort I do wonder if some major scaling issues and negative secondary effects come into play.

From my own peek into the workings of academia, one of the more disheartening things I observed was how Professors, the most successful researchers we have, were increasingly being burdened with duties not too dissimilar from those of high school teachers. Seemed to me to be a mismatch between the scale of the research and education sectors. And, I suspect, we're yet to see the knock-on effects.

With due respect, have you considered a model of paying once, and again perhaps for major upgrades? Or perhaps a gimped free model with paid features?

Paying monthly for local software feels bizarre to me. At least with SaaS I can kinda justify it as 'not my computer.' That said, ongoing development is worth money, but I can't think of anything I use locally that I do or would pay for on a monthly subscription basis.

That said, it may just be because the idea is new to me. In any event, I wish you luck.

Well, they do exist, but they exist because the people who live in them don’t want to eat the approved kind of food. Far more a matter of demand than supply.

> Food Deserts and the Causes of Nutritional Inequality

> We study the causes of “nutritional inequality”: why the wealthy eat more healthfully than the poor in the United States. Exploiting supermarket entry, household moves to healthier neighborhoods, and purchasing patterns among households with identical local supply, we reject that neighborhood environments contribute meaningfully to nutritional inequality. Using a structural demand model, we find that exposing low-income households to the same products and prices available to high-income households reduces nutritional inequality by only nine percent, while the remaining 91 percent is driven by differences in demand. These findings counter the common notion that policies to reduce supply inequities, such as “food deserts,” could play an important role in reducing nutritional inequality. By contrast, the structural results predict that means-tested subsidies for healthy food could eliminate nutritional inequality at a fiscal cost of about 15 percent of the annual budget for the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

I don't think form and function should be mutually exclusive. Instead I want it to be a continuum, and I am trying to combat some of the view here who try to turn the function dial to 11.

With good balance, we should be able to create a world that is both aesthetic and functional.

unfortunately, a product that doesn't exist isn't really a harm, it's hypothetical harm at best, which would be really difficult to argue as monopolistic.

I actually think this business agreement ending is a good thing - it gives AMD and other card manufacturers a way to get in, and compete with nvidia. In the short term it might hurt, but long term is better.
Do you have evidence that they fired extra white people? Or is that just your interpretation of "we used an antiracist lens"?

Right now I see a whole lot of assumptions and very little evidence.
Disagree, you probably think it's unreadable because you don't know the language and/or concepts in this snippet.

But does that mean we shouldn't, for example, use destructuring in javascript because some devs might not know it.

At some point you have to assume a common ground of knowledge, and that common ground in Elixir is somewhat different than in algol derived OOP mainstream.
Finding the quality writing on blogs and forums is getting harder via Google. I love those old tutorials, but Google wants to recommend the same topics/websites again and again. The copy&paste spam blogs are hiding more knowledge behind paywalls and ebooks.

Building cleaning robots that can be remotely controlled by a fleet of human operators working from home or in a call centre would be cheaper and safer than fully autonomous ones. I mean, gamers already pull off pretty amazing feats of control on the avatars they walk or drive around with.
I blog for myself. My rule is pure technical "how I did stuff" content. Which is just my own memos on things it's useful to know from job to job.

The big change for me was making the effort easy - Nikola to generate static content and push to Github Pages is about as low effort as it gets, since jupyterlab completely solves the "markdown with drag and drop pictures" problem and Nikola can take that and just publish it.

Hah, related question I had yesterday, is it procrastination, if you play your own game, instead of focusing on finally releasing it?

Figma vs. Adobe XD
There's a really good course for Lang Belta (Belter Creole) on memrise:

Sounds cool, I need to get familiar with the docs, thanks for your answers!
Scatter shot:

Functional programming is and has been, getting more popular, but I think it's hard to argue that it doesn't impact language uptake. Popularity is hard to judge as for every article about it, say 50 people bookmark it to read later, 10 read it and 1 try it, and outside of that there are 10,000 devs who never even clicked the link. That ratio isn't as bright as it appears initially. (1)

I also think the deployment story was a bit muddy with Elixir/Phoenix initially, with a few speed bumps.

Now Phoenix has a "generate dockerfile" command, as well as more explicit tooling around configuring releases, which I think is a good move.

Also it's easy to miss that when you build an Erlang/Elixir release (on the same architecture as your target AFAIK) you actually do get a transportable package (not a single binary) that ships the BEAM runtime etc, so you can actually just rsync the dir somewhere and run it if you want. Deployment even outside of containers is actually pretty easy. I think this is actually undersold by the documentation/community. It's surely no single-binary-multi-arch Go story, but it's easily done.

Personally I think it's 110% worth it.

Anecdotally, Did people say the same thing about python somewhere in it's 30 year span? "If it's so good why is perl cgi still so popular", "It wont ever be as fast as C", etc.

Similarly, Rails came out at a time where webframeworks were ... Symphony? Webforms? None really had the wow that Rails had, but it's not uncommon now so unseating it is a larger task?

1. I think probably Haskell, Clojure and F# probably have the widest "name a functional language" penetration and they all have some baggage. Haskell, IMO most known by osmosis, has obscure syntax and terms, Clojure (probably known of if you write Java) has (what some would term) the dreaded parenthesis-itis and F# has the C#/windows history. Probably some self-biasing here but I think many programmers first exposure will be via Haskell because that's what sticks in your mind as "oh yeah, people say that's cool", then repeatedly bounce off it's pretty dense syntax, terminology and type/side-effect strictness.

No it's same thing. All energy eventually becomes heat and there can be no lost energy in a system. In the case of a GPU we're converting electrical energy into thermal energy, and some mechanical and sound energy due to the fans. So a GPU should just as efficient at producing heat as a space heater, it's just that the electricity goes through a few more steps first.

Yes it is an art that can contains multiples others arts.

The "design" is mostly crap anyway so i don't see any win by loading obscure fonts from an obscure web server.
Why should they care if even massive customer data leaks have little effect on market capitalisation?
> When it comes to remote fonts, they slow down page download and consequently load time.

Show more example please.
Let's not forget when you access a webpage, the server already know what IP address you are connecting form. If the web font is loaded from the same host, the owner of the page does not violate any privacy rules than servicing you the page.

> they impede accessibility when fallbacks fail or do not exist

This is only when it failed.

> Most of us also know from experience that software designers by and large prioritize form over function, oftentimes with complete disregard for the function thereof.

You may have experienced designers who are bad at their job, but it does not mean a good design, including using or not using web font, help deliver the function better.

> So I second grandparent post's opinion: Screw designers. Removing them from the development process will bring about more net benefits than any benefits they might be bringing to the table.

Holiday Inn: cyber-attack on hotel data deleted using password Qwerty1234
Am I the only one who loved that this article talks about an author named Andrew Hacker.. writing an article about myths of science.. on HN..?

But regardless, while I disagree with the article’s argument it’s valid to debate this topic. My undergrad background is in engineering so I’m very biased here (and work as an engineer and have never used calculus for work). I do think a math major should take biology as much as a biology major should take math (calculus)!
Folks often talk about the goal of a liberal arts education being learning a “breadth of topics” or the “classical teachings” and that’s fair and important. But I also think the same for individuals studying a STEM field. Maybe bio majors don’t need the level of calculus rigor required for a physics major but I personally think it’s such a fundamental topic they should learn it.

browser.display.use_document_fonts is Settings → Fonts → Advanced → Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above. Note that that’s distinct from disabling web fonts: it will cause your chosen fonts to be used (so `font-face: some-web-font, Arial, sans-serif` will resolve to sans-serif), but still allow loading of web fonts for the Private Use Area, so that all mainstream icon fonts except for Google’s misbegotten Material Icons (which uses ligation of ASCII code points, which is a technique that was a horribly misguided idea from the start and makes accessibility worse far, far more often than it makes it better, and the precious few cases it makes better could readily be made betterer by other techniques) will still work.

Everyone agrees people have rights, it’s that they disagree on what constitutes a person. Some religious people currently believe a person exists at the point of fertilisation, but they used to believe ‘ensoulment’ happened some weeks after.

One question to ponder - “Why would God give personhood to a fertilised egg that (via omniscience) he knew was fated not to be carried to term?”. If earthly life is essentially a test of moral virtue (“Here’s free-will, let’s see what you do with it”) then “eggs as persons” doesn’t really make sense - the test can’t start / a true person doesn’t exist until it has some form of effective agency.
