As a regular consumer of this stuff, opinion piece or otherwise, I like to see data. Not data that is abstractly connected to an opinion like “parents with 1.6 trillion dollars,” but real data: how many quitters, what percentage of the age group, where and how were the data collected, does quitting mean “temporary unemployment” or “going back to school”, etc. ?

Because if you are writing an opinion piece to change people’s minds, you need to be credible. If this were written by a well known sociologist, then maybe the author gets a pass. But just anyone who can press keys on a keyboard? Nah. They need to back it up with data or forget about writing it.

This particular opinion piece has no relevant supporting data, so it’s useless except to portray one group of people in a potentially false light and appeal to another group of people who eat that up. And that’s just sad.

So, I guess this is where we are with a newspaper that used to stand for so much more. What a shame.
What kind of similar problems are you referring to? A punctured gas tank? That seems fairly obvious to me.

I feel like SGI’s Iris GL (OpenGL’s processor) was a really sweet spot for ease of touching 3d hardware. It didn’t have the features we have today, but it was really easy. Very similar to the easy graphics APIs in Processing or NodeBox (and ancestors and descendants).

lol, do you really live in Vietnam?

How many electric scooters do you see on the street in compare to the gasoline counterparts? Honda alone deliver about 2.7 million bikes per year in Vietnam. All of the Honda bikes are ICE. The number of new electric scooters is not even six figures.

> Toyota will never be very popular in Vietnam.

Recently Toyota is not as popular as some years ago. But they still ship the most passenger cars among other manufacturers last year.
Linus used to post to Google+, so a lot of the original posts are gone to the wind, however, he originally said that he'd bump major versions when the numbers get too big, i.e. he runs out of fingers and toes to count the minor version.

Here's an article for reference (2015): https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/linux...
immunomodulators are a class of drugs, eg steroids. Many users of them need very regular doses, so frequent repeat sales is very explainable.

I'm assuming this is used as a cover since it explains away "drug paraphenalia" like needles.
I don't disagree that, in general, the risk is lower than many other jobs. But that missed the point. It also doesn't mean it would be okay for teachers to have an unsafe work environment, as long as it's safer than a steel mill. Those comparisons are poor measures because it's about mitigating the risk to a reasonable level. In the context of the article, risking a criticality event is not a reasonable level.

Whether or not anyone is willing to take on additional risk also misses the point. Suppose I find people who are willing to live on an aquifer that is polluted by industrial waste because it's cheap land. Does that fact make it okay for the factory in your local area to disregard EPA regulations? I say no, because you have a codified right to certain standards of clean water. It's the same with safe job sites. You'll be able to find people on construction sites willing to work unsafe conditions; that doesn't alleviate their employer from legal responsibility.

What the article is demonstrating is the inability of LANL to implement the proper mitigations, whether those are engineered, administrative, or protective equipment.

This model assumes one person owns the vehicle for the entire vehicles life.

In reality, someone buys an EV new, drives until the battery is worn out, and trades it in. Now the price of used cars just went up $6k across the board because you need to put a new battery in any affordable used car out there.

The original architects are also well positioned to understand the underlying pivot points of the design, the places where the design can most naturally be shifted towards a new direction rather than hacking around the edges.

Can you name one? You've named Stretch but presumably you're not trying to say Stretch was a RISC; and the Cray-1 was developed after the 801 and isn't much RISCier than the 6600, and even less simple.

I admit I'm not very familiar with first- and second-generation CPU architectures, but the ones I have read about in any detail, like the LGP-30, the TX-0, and the IBM 1620, are very far from RISC.

I think the part where I have several negative votes on those comments, despite making points I think are valid, is what I don’t like.

My understanding is that negative votes is for things that don’t contribute to discussion, yet all my comments are in the negatives except when I mentioned I actually am using rust. Then suddenly the commenter stops talking about our discussion all together and starts to mention learning rust.

It’s frustrating because I like rust, but I can’t seem to criticize it in the slightest.

The problem for Sears was that mail-order was killed off by malls and big box before web-orders took off. Sears was losing 150M a year on catalog in the early 90s. If they didn't invest in malls and strip malls, they'd have been out of business before web shopping was significant.

Amazon was the right size to grow with the market. Amazon didn't even start selling clothing until 2002.
> This is great in the usual case, which is the enlightened hacker with their well-known identity key exported to public keyservers

It’s great if you are doing exactly what the original GPG code wanted you to do. If you want to deviate in any way, it’s almost malicious. Want to use an airgapped or otherwise highly secure system to export a copy of a private key to a card? You had better back up your keyring first because the export operation is destructive! Want to verify a signature against a specific public key stored in a file? Prepare for a world of pain as you try to figure out how to get the thing into your keyring and verify against the correct key!

As far as I’m concerned, about the best thing that can be said about PGP is that it’s better than other tools that were available when it was written. Other than that, it’s really quite bad.
Hmmm, did some of the mappings change with this release? Now hitting CTRL-B (I do that a lot in NERDTree) gives me the "E5248: Invalid character in group name" error.

> There were others available slightly earlier, but they were commercial-grade and prohibitively expensive

They were not “commercial grade” exclusively. I had a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 in 1983 or 1984. It was absolutely consumer. In fact the case was identical to the Smartmodem 300 but with an extra LED or two. I hooked it up to an Apple 2e. It was indeed expensive, though.

That video was oddly pleasant to watch. I admit I was expecting to see the blade become miraculously f'd up in the process, due to the rest of the article, but hair is indeed very soft and the look of that angular cut at such a scale is kind of amazing to think about.

(Perhaps when such microscopes hit Aliexpress we'll see this genre enter the extremely-satisfying-videos arena)
That's a symptom of a monopoly, not the promise of EMR, IMO.
You're talking about different things - $20,000 is pretty close to the bottom end of new car pricing in the USA. If you want more economy than that you have to buy used, which I'm sure will be an option a few years after those $20,000 EVs are sold new.

And of course people are talking about "economy" relative to the USA, it's where half the people on this site live. Nobody is saying car prices are the same everywhere in the world, and that's not going to be the same with widespread EVs either.
> Even when storing the cookies in a database like Postgres, they are fast enough because it's obviously indexed, and it's probably cached in many usage patterns.

If you scale up high enough, it does matter.

But beyond that, it is also about decoupling the server serving the content and the user database.

To give you an example, using a traditional session cookie model, whenever my server gets a request, it has to look up the associated session info, and then possibly join multiple tables to see if a specific user for that specific session is authorized to access that content.

There are going to be many joins involved. Even with good caching, it will still be a more complex operation.

Even if not computationally complex, it will be logically complex.

But when using a JWT, my server actually does not need ANY db access. It merely needs to verify the cryptographic validity of the included JWT header, which uses no IO. After that, it can safely trust any user metadata included in the JWT.

So, if a user has paid for access to all premium content after 2018, you would just include a field for that in your JWT payload. Done.

It depends of course on how your business data models work of course. But you can often put enough information in your JWT to cut out a lot of account processing logic.

> JWT is solving a non-problem for most people.

I think people are cargo culting JWTs.
I’ve noticed an interesting trend of people attempting to performatively “get cancelled” and when they fail to accomplish that, the next best option is to very publicly voluntarily quit their job and imply they had no other choice.

What is the implied real-world loss by this man choosing to no longer (according to wikipedia) do research to help the Democratic party win over conservatives and libertarians?

I genuinely cannot imagine a scenario where I’m actually concerned that somebody who is described as a “thinker” voluntarily chooses to stop… “thinking”?
Probably because in North America we make it so damn hard to walk or bike anywhere, combined with a culture that teaches us that getting an acceptable level of exercise requires going out of your way to purchase a gym membership and find time in the day 3 times a week to go there, rather than just go outside and walk to get your groceries.

Maybe The Tiago EV will ship for 8.5 lakhs, but I'll believe it once I actually see meaningful shipments at that price. Cool if they do though, don't get me wrong. But plenty of promises in the car industry get left at just promises.

I had a 14.4K modem, but the dial-in pool for my ISP only supported 2400 bps speeds. It took me most of the day to download the first C&C demo file which was 10 MB IIRC.
I regularly use archive.org to avoid the distorting and invasive pop-ups that regularly litter web pages these days, but I feel this is a bit of an overreaction in this case. I suppose they could position the sign-up area at the top of the page (or even in the middle). But tbf, the point of Substack is for readers to stay in touch with their favorite writers and for writers to build a readership. Thus, prompting the reader to subscribe is highly relevant. In that way, though I dislike the intrusiveness of pop-overs, it doesn't seem grossly offensive to me in this case. Certainly not to the point of "fku substk".

I experimented with this approach on my blog[1]. I had an image of the handwritten blog post and used a feature in Inkscape to get SVG and make clickable text. I decided to place a little plain text in there to help Google search crawlers know what content is on the page. I really would prefer handwriting more.

My problems boil down to just that flow of the tools sucked. I didn't want to have to attach multiple pages together. Inkscape was honestly a bit clunky to work with and I didn't have any personal tools to generate the full html from the svg.

I might just be inspired to try again though.

This study should be considered along with that from metallurgist John Verhoeven, who thought the main cause of chipping is corrosion. (https://knifesteelnerds.com/2021/01/11/what-causes-razor-bla...)

What both these studies reveal is an absence of bending of the sharp edge, indicating that the tradition of razor stropping has no real effect.

Your point stands, but population dynamics over the last 75 years complicate matters. There are as many immigrants in the United States today (not even counting children of immigrants) as there are Black Americans – immigrants who of course did not have access to GI Bill provisions, etc. How do they fit into the picture?
A while back I became unhappy with my tendency to check internet things throughout the morning. I wasn’t on social media really, though I’d scroll Twitter here and there. I justified it for a while because I wasn’t doom scrolling, but waking up early and then having nothing meaningful to show for my waking hours by 10 or 11 felt grim.

I decided to walk instead. I allow myself a podcast, but I often don’t bother with one these days. I just get dressed and go right out the door.

I guess it has been since late May, rather than stare at a screen hoping something interesting happens, almost every day (I’ve missed 3) I’ve gotten up and walked for anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes. Usually by 6am. It has been infinitely more gratifying than anything on a screen in the same time frame.

The bizarre part is that at one point, my brain was positive I’d get bored or be unsatisfied. Although I had the urge to do more with myself, it was like some addiction in me was insisting the walks would be a waste of time.

The number of personal matters I’m much more in tune with because of these mostly short walks is a bit astonishing. I was depriving myself of so many opportunities to think for myself about even mundane parts of my life that actually matter so much. Things I push aside to let myself disappear into a screen. Things I care about, but never seem to matter as much as the next page of results. All manner of little things that weren’t getting the opportunity to appear in my mind’s eye because I was too focused on the firehose of random crap called the internet that I don’t actually care much about.

It is a bit of a wake up. If this little bit of time with myself can yield so much, what about with people I care about? Without media present. Instead of time I’d maybe otherwise use a screen. How much more can I get out of this simple practice?

As it turns out, it depends a bit on the person but generally the answer has been a lot. One of my sons loves walking with me now — he can chat forever about virtually anything and he really opens up. A friend enjoys it a lot, but struggles with feeling like he has the time to… Kind of like I did at first, too. My wife enjoys it, though she seems to speed walk to turn it into exercise and it becomes sort of a task sometimes, haha.

Overall I’d say I agree with the article. Technology generally fails to deliver the same depth, although it succeeds in consuming as much or more time. As I get older, I strive to spend less time with it despite that it’s how I earn a living. For all the marvels it offers it still can’t give me anything like laughing with my son and taking in a sun rise. Or the peace of early morning, before the city is awake when you can hear the birds and rain and the breeze. These things are precious. Twitter is not.

There is no way to solve this so that you have a single file X.cc that you can feed to g++ as an argument:

Agreed.

It’s just a bunch of (mostly)”let’s act like adults” sort of people, and without all of the bureaucracy that usually accompanies some of even the smallest software efforts, it just keeps going.

> mowing down protesters with assault weapons

I have not seen verification of this claim. There are some recorded incidents of officers using their sidearms, and firing into the ground/air. There is confirmation of at least a few protestors shot but not "being mowed down".

The vast majority of killed or injured protestors have been from riot rounds.
This is quite a distorted retelling of history. Nobody voted for the IR. There was a very powerful leftist movement (en vogue at the time, thanks in part to the USSR) that sought to remove the pro-west Shah and his perceived corruption. Sure there were grievances, like stifling of any political dissent by the secret police.

Ultimately the movement was co-opted by fundamentalists as the leftists had gathered support from various groups but without clear ideas of what would replace the monarchy. And thus Khomeini returned from exile in France to claim the throne, turban rather than crown, and the rest is, as they say, history.
