The people who designed SS to be funded out of payroll taxes instead of corporate taxes, buybacks, and dividends. No seriously, hear me out.

As the economy became more efficient, fewer and fewer highly-paid workers are needed to work in it. This leads to overall lower SS tax per head being collected as the economy becomes more productive. What you really want is for the growth of the economy to be captured in supporting seniors - so tax the indicators of that growth.

Unfortunately they had real, political reasons for setting it up that way. Funding it with payroll taxes was the only way to get the bill passed, and ensure it wouldn't be gutted. (I'm paraphrasing from books I've read). And the people who paid into the program would feel morally entitled to receive benefits, and thus would always support the program.

You're misunderstanding bad faith actors in academia. These are people not interested in advancing science and not interested in the truth. The examples you give of Socrates and Galileo are clearly examples of the opposite.

As for Assange, Snowden, or "whiny pacifists" -- yes please keep them out of universities, and also don't forget to exclude any Trumpists, Steve Bannons, nationalists, individual anarchists, and members of communist parties, unless they're reporting about their actual scientific research if they conduct some. I see no reason whatsoever why such people should give political speeches at universities.

While I tend to agree with this sentiment, it's worth noting that it takes orders of magnitude more effort to fight against lies and misinformation than it does to create them. As such, letting everyone say whatever they want and expecting the lies to be exposed/countered by the truthspeakers is destined to fail. We've seen this exact thing play out on every social network.

No, it wont, be giving it "10 years time" is a good way not to worry about your prediction failing. Who'll remember your BS prediction by then?

In fact, not only 90 wont be "the new 40", but with the increased economic, pension, infrastructure, and other woes, not to mention the impact of global trade wars, the climate change, pandemics like covid, and other factors, the life expectancy might very well drop...

In fact, the current "life expectancy" peak for the US was 2014 - it has dropped since. It might not be the global maximum, but it will probably be a local maximum for a good while, including the "next 10 years".

> You chose GNOME , the answer is you are not the target of the GNOME project, they target people with weak minds that would instantly faint if they see a configuration screen with options.

GNOME's problem is not the lack of configuration options, but lack of empathy. They stubbornly refuse to address (sometimes, even acknowledge) their own users' problems.

> If you decide you want options try KDE [...]

You don't solve this problem with more options. You solve it by understanding your users' needs.

I want a desktop that just works. KDE's promise is I can make it work if I can keep tweaking it; GNOME's promise is it should work if I'm willing to accept the compromises. Both of these options suck.

It makes me laugh how people mention that C# or Java has "magic", which is just the lack of understanding a feature of the language, but in the same breath says that Rust doesn't have this problem. I rather be able to debug a C# attribute than a Rust one.
> Pure Functions are an implementation strategy of FP, not the core differentiator.

"Functional Programming" is not a well-defined term. But I would argue that if you are not using pure functions then you have more of a hybrid imperative/functional language, which is fine, especially if you are careful with how you structure your effects. Modern FP languages use monads (Haskell) and/or algebraic effects (Eff) to enable pure functions to describe effects. The pure function is what enables mathematical reasoning and safe function composition.
I have done a lot of line of business work over the years, and I would argue Excel is the perfect tool for prototyping processes.

Almost anybody can use it, it is simple and reasonably intuitive - and most importantly - extremely flexible, so you can change your processes and workflows without much cost.

Then once processes are figured out and reach a more stable state, you can turn that Excel process into something more smooth, custom software or a more advanced tool. And you have a pretty good starting point for a spec for the software.
That's no different from ARM, though.

I think the author meant "just" as in: it is only another name. In Haskell, you can make an infix operator out of a function by putting it between backticks. Thus, `fmap` and <$> are synonyms. For example:

(subtract 3) <$> [1,2,3,4] -- =[-2,-1,0,1]
(subtract 3) `fmap` [1,2,3,4] -- =[-2,-1,0,1]
Excel mangles genetics data. Reason #1 to ditch that toy and set up a proper Ipython/Julia/R notebook with either a database or something usable with awk/bioperl/biopython.

When I upgraded my fully maxed-out 2019 16" mbp from Catalina to Monteray, the every-day performance of my computer took an absolute nose-dive. It's been a complete nightmare, and has significantly soured me on Apple. Right now, the biggest lingering issue is that if my laptop is on the integrated gfx card, typing performance is so laggy that it's excruciating to type anything. So far, the only response has been to just disable automatic graphics switching, meaning battery life is reduced by about 3-4x. It's just unbelievable how bad this has become. I spent hours with an Apple senior support engineer (or whatever they are called), and all he could do is go "dang that _is_ bad, I'll file a bug." Yet the problem still persists.

... and by doing that, you are breaking a number of corporate policies and rules and are leading yourself into a world of pain whenever they find out. Losing a job would be a least of a trouble.

Honestly, don't do that. Don't use your equipment if the company did not explicitly permit that. If you can't do the job as quickly as you want using company provided equipment, maybe that's the price the company is willing to pay for having all those "compliances". Live with it or leave, but bring yourself in trouble by ignoring all "safety" measures.

Why? Any time limits are purely arbitrary. In principle there's no reason we couldn't have the mortgage equivalent of consol bonds, which are perpetual (infinite maturity date). The borrower can choose to just keep paying interest forever, or they can also choose to pay off the principal at any time and retire the debt.

I love GNOME (and currently still use it), but the project really has been taking a turn for the worse.

If you want to do something even slightly off the happy path, GNOME is the worst Wayland experience. Because of ideology (and in the name of security), they refuse to implement features and extensions that users and app devs need.

Example: No support for server side decorations. Instead, their solution is to force app devs to use client side decorations.(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1836)

This is just an issue that I have run into; there are more. Even ignoring wlroots and KWin, users coming from Windows and macOS except features like this.
I don't live in america, but we have the same housing problem as everyone else.

Yes, it's the lack of houses, or more specifically, lack of land, where you're allowed to build houses. We also have thousands and thousands of cars and trucks driving through small villages, because a road cannot be built, because someone from a different part of country saw a butterfly there once. We have areas with lots of unemployment where they couldn't even start a brewery, because people complained.

Watching places like san francisco, with even worse housing problems, and then seeing rows of single family houses instead of huge apartment buildings is an indicator of that... more people, denser housing... if NIMBYers don't allow it, you get a housing problem.
I think most of your concern isn't actually relevant to this case. The point of the article is that default numeric input basically just fundamentally doesn't work unrelated to wanting "branding", it just doesn't validate user input in a way that is acceptable to either users or product owners: even if you wanted literally zero visual customization you shouldn't use it, and if you were building a native app you also wouldn't accept that behavior. And while there's a whole area about browsers becoming an app platform, this also isn't strongly relevant here because it's a meaningful problem even when building a trivial form submit.

The choices here aren't branded vs unbranded, it's "does the website form submit validate user input or does it not validate user input?" Everyone wants the form to validate, and you can't reasonably validate input if you use that component, so no one can use the component.
Agreed, visible mass of public opinion isn't a panacea.

And there seems to be a widespread anti-intellectualism movement, from multiple directions, that's turning all of us into bickering reactionaries.

Someone has to start bringing us back to aspiring to sophistication of intellect and character, to both engage in genuine dialogue, and to recognize when someone else isn't.

MIT, as one vanguard, doesn't have the last word on this (it has its own biases), but IMHO not surprising to see them taking a confident stand for a kind of intellectualism that's in a relatively good direction. We need the influence of others, to address concerns/perspectives that are not as much on the radar of MIT.
> These administration and business management tasks can be easily done by developing custom software, and these are the reasons to ditch Excel.

Easily? Yeah, right, after you pay \d{5,} dollars, after years of development, you get something that hopefully enables to run your business more effective.

Of course, we also try to get from Excel in business processes that require data consistency and automation and stuff, but first of all: Someone was able to write that excel and show us actually what kind of data/calculations is important to them.

I think excel is here to stay along with the email. Article reads like: "use this instead of email" (and buy from us). Everything has their place under the sun, but excel is as good as it is bad.

>should we close scientific research labs because they're cost centers? Should we forbid exploratory work because it lacks a clear road to shareholder value?

closing implies the government does it by force, my point is that things that provide value- whether economic or more abstract, will be fine without government subsidizing it. Research labs have proven ROI and benefits for society, humanity majors no so much. If humanities majors had so much value companies would be paying for them or other nations governments would be recruiting these debt ridden students and poaching them to benefit their own country

Like I said, people can learn anything humanities related by reading free resources online. No need to rack up massive amounts of debt to do that

The fact you have to make a value judgement of it being "reprehensible" and act like without humanities majors we'll be "a world where value is a pure function of expected production" is a sign of a weak argument. It's a very common argument style I see of people stuck in the past with rose-tinted views of what college is about

The burden of proof rests on everyone making an argument. There isn’t a privileged stance between Java is ok/awesome/terrible.

Individual weaknesses in some aspect could be made up by a strong showing in other areas and being popular alone provides some real advantages.
