A year or so ago, the XSLT stylesheet for some feeds (podcasts? news?) on FeedBurner linked to dead apps whose domains had gotten bought up by casinos and porn. Not a great look. I've tried really hard to get in touch with someone at Google about this but couldn't find anyone. Not sure if it's fixed now, but it's a great signal to GTFO FeedBurner as soon as you possibly can.
RISC-V replacing MIPS is old news. It is a done deal.

We've swung from "God's will" to "Fitness" a bit prematurely. Sure, there are many underlying causes for miscarriages (which we've experienced in our house, as well), but the sense I got from talking to our docs was that luck has as much to do with it as anything. The signals and systems that benefitted homonids a million years ago still affect our chances in the modern world, and are full of false positives and negatives, and luck (blood type, etc) plays an outsized role.
Sometimes it's nice to get a meal with no dishes to clean up. There's no shame in it and frankly most people don't notice you, less care about you. You're just grabbing a meal.

Now if you're lonely and eating out alone is stressful, well, it's your life. You can make friends or connect with family members.
" The APA doesn't seem to be under the delusion that they can control how masculinity is viewed in society, anyway."

The APA-- the professional org. which represents the field of psychology in the USA--[1] literally instituted a definition of "toxic masculinity".

If that isn't an attempt to control masculinity in society, I don't know what is.

I think we can do some limited degree of parallelism. We can walk/run and talk at the same time. We can walk and operate a phone at the same time (albeit more poorly). Our two arms can work in parallel - rub your belly and pat your head. Or, for a better example, driving a manual transmission car -- you can shift gears, and modulate your steering and speed at the same time.

In the mental world, you can also listen to a couple conversations at once with effort.
> I wish I could go back to school. CS is changing so fast,

Is it, really? I got an undergrad degree 25 years ago, and looking at the requirements for the same at a few different universities, they appear largely the same, other than a few extra courses on ML. You still have pretty much the same math courses, theory courses, algorithm/OS/network/database courses, etc. The languages and tools have changed, but the fundamentals have not.
You should look into Citizens United. It largely turned corporations into non-voting citizens with... Rights (not full constitutional rights mind you, but rights none-the-less).

This is only true if advertisers can threaten to shift their ads to someone who does suppress content.

A court ruling binding all (or at least all sufficiently large) players in the space acts like a (legal) cartel: Customers (advertisers) don't have a choice, the conditions are the same everywhere.
All things I can do in my browser
I am highly concerned that YouTube is selling children's eyes to advertisers. They obscure this fact with YouTube kids and marking videos as not for kids. This is their business model. Why have content marked as not for kids at all? What they need is a section of youtube for HBO-like content.

They have allowed people to make a living there for years and will shut them down with no warning whenever they like or at the whim of a terrible algorithm (or report brigading). It is a horrible business relationship.

How to disagree with someone more powerful than you (2016)
I am burnt out of playing video games right now because I played my PlayStation non stop for around 30 days. I found out about this because I made a post on reddit about how I was not enjoying playing video games and people told me to stop playing asap and do other things instead. Great advice, turned out I was actually running away from real life responsibilities.
It works ok for comparable cities, but I think it loses a lot of nuance.

Like my example of housing costs. It will say "you need $50,000 more to live in San Francisco". But that's assuming you get comparable housing, which nobody actually does.

If you go from typical "middle class" housing in say St. Louis, to San Francisco, then the COL difference isn't as steep.
I've written about building an audience on LinkedIn, including sharing some of my own data.[1] Summary as follows:

* Figure out a niche. It’s a scary commitment, but it’s the most direct route to becoming known as an expert.

* Set view-count expectations so they roughly match the size of your following. (Obviously, and separately, it helps to increase the size of your network.)

* Switch formats around. Audiences quickly grow tired of templates.

* If you’re going to track social signals, focus more on the who rather than the how many.

* Write long posts with short words.

* Add value every single time.

“Our main demand is not to get killed”: Mexican women find safety in FB groups
I respect your opinion but I disagree strongly with your claim that this is “medieval”.

Courts have the power to truly end people’s lives. Because of this power they must have the highest standard of proof: innocent until proven guilty.

However, many crimes are very difficult to prove, which means courts mostly can do nothing about things like rape, harassment, etc.

That’s a good thing on some level, we don’t want to put innocent people in jail.

But if we leave it at that, and simply disbelieve all stories not proven by courts, then the vast majority of victims of crime will be totally left without support.

That’s why personal policies like “believe women” exist… not because they are more true than “believe the courts” but because both policies are flawed and so together they provide better coverage of innocent people than either policy could alone. For the innocent victims who haven’t been protected by the law, the “believe women” community has their back. For innocent victims who have been falsely accused the “believe the courts” community has their back.

I believe this diversity of belief is essential.

And so, I support you being a “believe the courts” person. But I would like you to consider that this leaves you in a position where you can’t support a large number of victims of crime. And therefore that’s a job other people, with a different attitude to the courts, must step in and do.
I live in the countryside in Sweden with its 87 billion trees/10 million population (yes, 8.7k trees per resident).

I also do not think it is absurd to burn wood for energy. The things you need to do:

- Burn wood that is sourced somewhat locally (for me, typically 1-2 km, but I think even hundreds of km would make sense)

- Dry the wood well (like for a year) after logging. Not doing this will lead to higher particle emissions, because you can't reach high burning temperatures.

- Burn the wood quickly at a high temperature to minimize particle emissions. This is quite effective.

CO2-wise: It's ~neutral. We've been doing it in this way/scale in a responsible way (replanting) for much longer than the time it takes to grow the trees.
This was one of the closest experiences to 'Virtual Reality' I've had; lol - the combination of the cute art mixed with the sound is truly great.

> but the problem with nuclear energy is it doesn't require human beings to sacrifice anything

Not true.

1. Compared to renewables, grid energy would be much more centralized if it was mainly nuclear based.
2. It is much more expensive to build, especially the upfront costs. This is the real reason it is not popular.
3. Only a minority of countries are developed enough to be reasonably trusted with nuclear energy. What about the rest?
4. Nuclear is not suitable for areas with low population density, this is related to point 1.
5. Nuclear waste is a solved issue or acceptable risk according to so academics but not all.
6. With nuclear energy you still have the same problem of grid storage because nuclear plants cannot be ramped up or down quickly enough, so you either need lots of storage or gas peaker plants.
7. Sunlight and wind are free, and some locations have an abundance of them. Uranium is not.
8. Political ties necessary for most countries to source uranium fuel need to be taken into account, too.
9. Once you build a nuclear plant you are invested in it for a decades. You cannot very easily shut it down and upgrade to a new model or use a newer technology altogether. This is one of the reasons we are stuck with nuclear plants decades ago.
10. The risk of a nuclear catastrophe is always there. The fact that it has been averted in most cases, does not mean the risk does not exist. Especially when you have extraordinary situations like a tsunami or a war breaking out.

This is not meant to say that nuclear energy should not be considered. But I just cannot stand these childish takes on the subject.

> Getting rid of the filibuster for judges and keeping it for everything else is exactly backwards.

Not sure if you're aware, but it was Harry Reid (D) in 2013 that first did away with the filibuster for judicial nominations [1].

> the Federalist Society judiciary is lurching us towards a constitutional crisis.

"We are committed to the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. " [2]

If that's lurching us towards a constitutional crisis, it can only mean that we've diverged far from the original intent.

If you make a big project, you will have to use that many things with every langagues. If the language is rich, you'll learn the language. If not, you'll learn the project patterns. It's not specific to python.

But 99.9999999% projects won't implement metaclasses.

Most won't event implement decorators, context managers or generators. Use them, sure.
Trees also store CO2. Actually, burning trees means less CO2 will be extracted from the air. More CO2 in the world means plants and trees can grow quicker.

If one believe CO2 is an issue (personally I don’t buy it), then burning trees is not a great way to fix the issue.
This point needs to be emphasized. Wood burning is renewable compared to coal.

Europe is the second smallest continent in the world. It has roughly the area of the United States. Despite that, Europe has the highest forest coverage of all the continents.

The spelled-out intro to language modeling: building makemore. Part 2: MLP
Doing that creating requires taking on sizable risk, a chunk of investment up front, and most importantly, a lot of hard work, consistently applied over multiple years. I know I have had conversations with myself about starting a business or building a rent house and the cost benefit calculus always comes back “invest in the stock market, 10% return for zero effort over the long haul.”

It’s getting over the initial hump of “would trying this be profitable, discounting for risk, effort, and opportunity cost?” That is the issue. Lower real returns in the market might change this.
I have put a ton of hours into Crusader Kings III. It is less complicated than other grand strategy games, but the real fun is leaning into the generative story aspect and roleplaying as your family throughout generations.

It also has a great modding scene, as most of the game logic is defined in text files in a custom scripting language. If you learn a bit about the language it is very easy to get into, you can just edit files in a text editor and the game will automatically live reload and apply your changes.
A fun and quite immersive experience! Wouldn't want to live here due to all the noise but sure would love a visit.
Before the term was coined I was a quiet quitter myself for a long time in my career. And guess what, I was doing fine and employers were quite okay with my work and my reliability. Id often see hungry juniors going out of their way to overdeliver before running into the same walls I did long long time ago.
I tend to agree that this is fake propaganda meant to make people guilty for not giving the elusive ‘more’ to their employers. And it is sickening to know some people craft this type of propaganda solely for their own gain.
Once trees die they will release all that CO2 back into the atmosphere anyway. And trees will naturally die. Then another tree will grow in its place over time.

It's not a permanent storage of CO2 unless we cut it down and bury it or build something long-lasting with it.
Here's what's actually needed for an event to not suck:

- Plenty of free water

- Plenty of food, preferably free

- Plenty of seating space

- Plenty of bathrooms

- Clear indications as to where all of those things are placed

I'll attend almost any event if I can sit down with a drink, some food and make small talk with people and maybe even network! And even if your presentation is empty and boring (as most of them are) I will still remember your event as a decent one because I was able to enjoy it my way and get something out of it.
The limits of what we can and can't do are not well-explored, nor well-bounded.

For example, there was a fellow (his name escapes me at the moment) who had trained himself to be able to write a sentence with one hand while solving a mathematical equation with the other.

There's a reason why our minds evolved a "unitary" identity or ego, it's evolutionarily advantageous (tautologically, sorry), but it's an illusion. You can "divide" your mind among several tasks (in other words, the brain is not like a CPU, it's more like "the cloud", yeah?) but it's not really as useful as it might seem.

I hate super apps. It made me appreciate the simple and clean UX of apps developed in the US and Europe.

Nothing worse than opening up Shoppe or Grab and immediately being slammed with 3 dozen icons that you need to scroll through.

Hell, even my banking app looked like that. Select "other requests" and I get to scroll through about 40 different icons for stuff to do. And they just offer banking.

Apps like Grab offer banking, transport, food, digital wallet, etc.

Seems super clunky to me, but what I've been told is the goal is for that app to do "everything" so you never need a different app.
Re: your last point, bingo. It’s almost impossible to have a real debate on this issue because people—esp. those who favor censorship and think highly of themselves for understanding what Section 230 does and does not say—refuse to go to the crux of it. They’ll bury you in technicalities and side arguments before saying anything about what they believe.
It certainly strongly asserts the judge to have been " a Republican political operative "

> only an idiot would look at an ad and think, oh this brand is knowingly sponsoring this content.

I don’t disagree but I also think

* many companies want to sell to idiots

* vocal fringe ideologists can blow these financial relationships up into a PR incident

* some responsible companies actually do care about where their money goes

* YouTube also doesn’t want negative PR “YouTube financially supports [bad thing]” but at the same time understands that demonetized content is important attracting factor to the platform overall

I don’t think YouTube is to blame here. The issue is that ad supported platforms inherently have advertisers as customers, and viewers are only a means to an end. The entire business model is flawed in the lens of the viewer or content producer, and there’s no way to fix it.
Superapps are a deadend if you dont have a huge population like China that is comfortable with centralization.
This ruling seems like continuation of the persecution complex of the right. I would like to point out that some of the most heavy handed moderation and censorship occurs on r/conservative, Gab, truth social, or parler, where typically dissenting results in an instant ban. I suppose that moderation is now illegal then?
