I was buying cheapass 65" 4K TV from toshiba.

Reviews are all like 'Such an improvement compared to my 10 year old 30 inch plasma 720p TV' or 'noce, it has Netflix'!

Not a single review mentioned that Android TV takes like 3 seconds to respond to any buttonpress on the remote because it's running a 8 year old ARMv7 CPU, basically like the first raspberri pi.
As long as it is not coupled with toddler tantrums. We all know adults who have the emotional maturity of a 5 year old. I’m more concerned about America’s growing body of narcissism.

Yeah, he is discussed in seminars as a kind of proto analytical philosopher.
Yes, that's a/the Cold War. I don't think anyone would deny that the Cold War is continuing, it's just that no one has ever called it WW III, since the terms "WW I" & "WW II" have always explicitly referred to hot wars

Where is the nonsense? He says he thinks it’s the best solution but is not 100% sure about it so he’s open to discussion.
> It seems to me that once your middle management is infested with non-tech people (because you couldn't resist "growing" forever), you don't stand a chance anymore.

I fixed a redundancy for you.

Otherwise, spot on, and if I had one of those vinyl printers my wife uses to put things like “Home is where your heart is” on the wall, I’d print this, and hang it secretly on the bathroom walls at work.

I’m experiencing this right now sadly. Came to work at a company a decade ago with a lot of equality and flat/low management. Engineers of various disciplines were predominantly middle/older, so there was a sense of “we’re all adults here” and it’s worked pretty well for a long time. But as staff is retiring and the business is growing because it forking worked well, the cry for more middle management to “scale” has been heard. Need point people. Points of responsibility. Because we can’t spare real engineers, these are often people with “some engineering in their background” or just know how to play the good buddy network really well and evoke a sense of “trust.” The relationship that’s emerging now with middle management layers is more the family structure. Instead of being a group of collaborative light management adults, the middle manager assumes the parent role, and the workers become the kids. They get to take less risk, be less responsible and avoid the “adulting” stuff that is (endless) meetings and the like. The management/parents obsess about the way their group/family is seen elsewhere in the company. Protecting them name and reputation takes an increased precedence. The “adult kids”, the experiences engineers who want to be treated like adults and not over managed, start looking for a new home to move to.

It’s sad really.
> Alternative hypothesis: (brace yourselves) people don't care enough. Any vendor will prioritize requirements, if performance is not in there, that CPU and memory is going to be used if in any way it helps the developers. Conversely, by looking at a system you can infer its requirements.

I think most of all, it isn't sufficiently visible. Most development is done on high powered hardware that makes slow code very difficult to distinguish from fast code, even though you can often get 10x performance improvements without sacrificing readability or development effort.

Individually it's just a millisecond wasted here and there, but all these small inefficiencies add up across the execution path.

Here's a fun benchmark to illustrate how incomplete beliefs like "compilers are smart enough to magically make this not matter" can be:

https://memex.marginalia.nu//junk/DedupTest.gmi

It's a 50x difference between the common idiomatic approach and the somewhat optimized greybeard solution, with a wide spectrum of both readability and performance in-between.

If you put zero thought toward this, your modern code will make your modern computer run as though it was a computer from the late '90s.
If I am not mistaken, fintech refers to the software/hardware surrounding trade execution on the various exchanges (stocks, bonds, commodities, etc.) where speed is of primary importance.

- shift modifiers are almost always interoperational

Thank you for posting, this (and the sibling posts and some google searching) confirms to me that older macs were not using disks this much for the same tasks.

It's definitely a good thing. I categorize it under documenting. But while it costs time to read documentation and comments, it saves time on reading code that isn't stale. If you don't do it regularly, Chesterton's fence becomes crippling.
From memory, more recent non-US keyboards do have "command" as well as the symbol, and recent US keyboards have added the symbol, so we have eventually reached consistency.
It bothers me that the answer to "When did people come to America", when clarified as something like "When did European colonists come to what is now the United States" is still wrong.

Google's answer is "The first colony was founded in Jamestown, Virginia in 1607."

It links to https://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/colonial/jb_colonial_subj... .

But that page says: "The Spanish were among the first Europeans to explore the New World and the first to settle in what is now the United States" then gives the Jamestown example after switching focus to England and the Atlantic coast.

San Juan, PR was founded in 1521 by Spanish colonists.

St. Augustine, FL was established in 1561 by Spanish colonists and is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European origin in the contiguous United States.

I grew up in Florida. I visited St. Augustine as a kid. We all learned that it was colonized before Jamestown. My American identity does not require English colonization be placed on an artificial pedestal.

The essay ends "after all it learned from us."

But isn't that why people were "calling Google’s search algorithm biased and racist"? Because it learned it from us?

Even if you require ID, the internet will always feel less personal.

This started because of anonymity, but it could very well be embedded into the culture by now. Just because we feel that 'things on the internet do not count'. That is caused by anonymity; but also obscurity of your actions; the impersonal connection; the fact that you are communicating to the entire world; the fact that your interlocutor is someone you barely know, a lot of 'bad' digital communication is the first and last time two people are talking at each-other; and the fact that a lot of communication on the internet is largely performative because it is public.

In summary, removing anonymity alone will probably not get close to fixing things.

also, let's not forget that the browser market was always fucked up.

Over a long enough time, everything is. The question is whether they had a better alternative along the path. If many/most companies are infested, the wrong kind of middle management must be quite common. If it’s quite common, avoiding hiring from it (or avoiding the effects when you do) could be very difficult. It’s still a problem that lands on their desks, but might be less “how could they be so stupid?!” than portrayed above.

Happens in other mammals also. In kitten is very common to start as light eyes and darken or get more saturated in the first year.

Blue eyes in adult cats came also with some genetic diseases included in the same pack. Angora cats with white fur and light blue eyes are often deaf. They were very popular in the past, but is seen now as an non desirable trait and excluded from breeding programs.

This depends on the public pressure to do so I believe. As a counterexample one could name German ex-chancellor Angela Merkel. You can hardly name any decisions she carries full responsibility for, her role was mostly to mediate finding a compromise between interests of different parties.

That sounds like the wrong way to do it. Computers trying to guess intent is what makes many aspects of modern software frustrating to use. Instead computers should make it easier to express your intent.

Mouse cursor moving towards notification? Let it sit there a while longer.

Mouse cursor where notification would appear? Make it appear somewhere else or wait.

iOS does something like this when you tap something really small in a browser. Instead of trying to guess where the tap was supposed to go, it opens a "magnifying glass".
It frustrates me that Jack seems to have genuine interest in this topic but seems to be totally averse to discussing Mastodon. It's hard to believe he's unaware of Mastodon, so we have to believe he thinks it's not the solution for some reason. But how could it not be? Why doesn't he just use his big name and significant influence to throw his weight behind Twitter's most successful open protocol competitor if he really wants this? None of it makes sense to me and I wish he would speak more plainly on the matter.

Sorry, I think you are mistaking stock price and profits. ETFS' performance is based on stock prices. Game companies still continue to make millions in profits. Stock price is not a reflection of profits.

Hiring a recent college grad and working him 12+ hours a day with no rest is IMHO exploitation.

This is why we have labour laws in the first place. Employers have too much power and influence. Offer a college grad the chance to work on games and above average pay, you get him on the hook. What you are not saying to him is that you'll overwork him breaching labour laws. I gave him a job, he wanted it, if he doesn't like it, he can leave is not sufficient to make it ethical nor legal.

These gilts or bonds work exactly as you’ve described. So how do you get margin called? You mix in 5-10% high risk, high reward securities to try to make a profit and buy, on margin, extra gilts/bonds to try to hedge the risk.

You’ve now gone from a durable bond as long as it’s held to maturity to a derivative based house of cards vulnerable to bank runs.

It's not the full picture only because a handful of pension funds do their job properly, they come up with a sensible diversification and put it into passive instruments.

Everything beyond that is a scam. High fees for what should be a simple task, or taking reckless risks or allocating to active managers, is where the scam part comes in, and most of the industry is guilty of that.
[1] points out that you can have a perfectly boring, safe pension fund by investing all the money into gilts with positive interest rates which means you only need to put in £48 now to get £100 in 30 years.

This reminds me of Rob Henderson piece about why adults care what children think[1]. There seems to be an unwillingness to grow up in modern society. Growing up doesn’t mean you can’t have fun or enjoy kid “toys”. But it does mean taking on responsibility, being dependable, and willing to lead younger generations.

> You mean administration is decentralized?

(not OP) Not really. Accounts are linked to one single instance, and if the admin of that instance decides to ban you, the other instances can’t do anything about it. It’s not one decentralized administration but a lot of smaller centralized administrations.
The scientific method doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

This is an open-and-shut statement that they will publish data which says what they want it to say.

Or rather, that peer review will reject papers for reasons that have nothing to do with their scientific validity.

Which is the same thing. This isn't science, anymore. Everything they publish from now on must be considered useless unless replicated elsewhere.
Yeah I work in finance too and it's a mixed bag. The stuff I work on right now has a very high focus on correctness and stability which is nice.

Ok, so it seems i was too optimistic:
„ Upon registering a company in Estonia, you can apply for opening a bank account in Estonia, if you have partners in Estonia/employees living in Estonia/carry out activities in Estonia. If the intended activity of the company is not related to Estonia, you will not be able to open a bank account in Estonia. If you want to open an account with an Estonian bank, the company has to start its activities, in full or in part, on the territory of Estonia“
(source: https://www.estonia-company.ee/management-of-bank-accounts-v...)
Yes that's true. I just think it's particularly easy to forget how your company actually works--e.g. what puts the bread on the table--when the markets are high. Therefore we see more monetization strategy in this type of financial cycle.
Sounds about as upset as he did when Brexit was going to return the UK to the Dark Ages. Or when Trump's election was going to return the whole world to the Dark Ages. Or when Bush's election was going to return the world to the Dark Ages.

The framing of "it's a conflict of religion," is interesting, too: Indeed there's a lot of faith in the face of reality to be found on both sides. Charlie's faith seems to include a tenet that every conflict is a World Ending Apocalypse, at least until the next one comes along. Nothing can be fixed, it must be prevented...

There is so much possibilities for human computer interaction. I feel like we're all mission out with the current tech we've got.
For those scared of all the links, here's a simple summary from someone who runs a server with an instance of one of these applications.

* ActivityPub is just an open, flexible protocol for sharing content

* The fediverse is a nice, human friendly way to describe all the various services using activitypub to talk back and forth to each other. The value in this is that these projects are diverse, it's not all twitter clones. You have video hosting services like peertube, the twitter-esque sites like mastodon and pleroma, open source managed file stores like nextcloud, and all of them can chat if they want to

* these services are hosted by whoever wants to host an instance, and they choose who they wish to federate with and who they don't, this optional interoperability is really the key feature for the entire network and protocol

Mastodon, as a twitter replacement is good from a user perspective (except in 300+ comment threads) , but I'd strongly recommend Pleroma at this point if you intend to run your own instance. The software of the two is similar, but Mastodon is in a constant state of chasing new, usually niche or controversial features which have led to a lot of bloat in terms of both management tooling, setup, and hardware required to run it.
