> cis- and hetero-normative "obscenity", like an anatomy textbook

If it's heteronormative to merely show anatomy (and presumably describe mating) then I don't understand why that's worth calling out. It's no insult to anyone to say that male-female relationships are the most common and the only ones that produce children. We don't need to represent everything as equally likely to say that it's okay.

As for cis, I struggle to see how anatomy would intersect with gender-identity at all. Bodies are male or female, and may be intersex.

> graphic novel "Gender Queer" has been banned under the broad brush of "pornography" in Florida, when it's educational

This feels like a problem of having to find a category. If there was an 'unapproved medical advice' category it would be more descriptive.

As for its educational content, it recommends - not merely discusses but actively recommends - drugs and breast-binding for something that many (most?) parents do not think is a medical condition.

> nor do they describe sexual conduct in a "patently offensive" way.

In looking it up and reading it I discovered that the author said "It's been two years since it was published, why are they mad about it now?" and the answer to that is schools. The book wasn't being protested when it was available for sale, and in public libraries, only when it was placed in school libraries.

I think the 'patently offensive' element here is specifically that it's being placed in schools even though many parents don't want it and even explicitly over their objections.

Logs should be the input to generate metrics (in addition to any metrics published directly).

Otherwise, it's hard to convert a stack trace into a metric ;) But you can process the logs to generate a metric about the frequency of stack traces.

Ditto for logs telling you "user Foo doesn't have permissions for that operation". Again, you can make a metric about "user permissions failure" but you still need the log to know that it was user Foo.

> Keep in mind that most generated material looks awful -- there is a huge selection bias going on.

Yeah. Look at machine translation - it's gotten pretty good, in some limited cases it's perfect, but it's also frequently just clueless, and for anything serious you absolutely need a real human translator.

I think these AI tools will improve, but I'm extremely skeptical that it's going to improve by like an order of magnitude any time soon. It will still require extensive tuning, heavy selection, and accepting that you probably can almost never get it to make exactly what you want.

Storage is not, in fact, a problem. Numerous methods using century-old tech are cheap and practical, and only need to be built out.

> fully replace the artist

I doubt the artist would ever be "fully" replaced, or even mostly replaced. People very much care about the artist when they buy art in pretty much any form. Mass produced art has always been a thing, but I'm not alone in not wanting some $15 print from IKEA on my wall, even if it were to be unique and beautiful. Etsy successfully sells tons of hand-made goods, even though factories can produce a lot of those things cheaper.

It's interesting how both SIMD and big-o have had so different reasons for being of limited but still significant relevance.

SIMD, and vector processors like it was called in the 70s, delivered practical speedups in simple benchmarks right away but most applications dont't take advantage because of SW engineering reasons. Whereas big-O improvement ignores important components of performance per unit of time (memory access and constant factors) and is purely theoretical in an essential sense.

iTunes is a Movies Anywhere partner and if you connect your Movies Anywhere account you can download iTunes purchased Movies Anywhere films (most but not all studios today) in other Movies Anywhere partnered apps.

I don't think any of the other Movies Anywhere apps support sharing/playing the exact same downloaded file, but cross-app downloads are supported (buy on iTunes and download on Xbox Movies or Vudu or whatever).
Worked at an insane place that did 1.

“It’s more secure” they said.

The “solution”? Disable certificate checking of course! What could go wrong?

Same place that ran a vulnerable instance of nexus (the package manager) for all internal npm and maven packages for a whole year before patching. It was publicly accessible. And it had a banner on the homepage that said “this version is vulnerable (severity 10/10 anonymous RCE), update NOW”. Anyone who went to https://nexus.1337company.com would see it.

That company did software for the government. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who noticed the vulnerability and that some packages got tainted. But we’ll never know because no audit was ever performed and there were no backups of that server anyway.

Like I said, absolute joke of a workplace.
I think you're likely better served by using the word and punishment for treason. Although I admit that word has been casually tossed around for cheap political gain recently and has lost it's severe connotation for many.
I believe you are talking about a replacement institution which would be internet. I stand by my point: "the skills universities claim only they can give you is freely available.", "A handful of search queries and a ton of reading are all you need to get started." this is simplistic (i would describe this stance as nihilist but perhaps you won't like the connotation). I get your idea, free knowledge makes current-world universities redundant, sure, that's fine. But this content is not a byproduct of ethernet cabels (not even commoditized and ubiquitous), it is created and maintained by people (grouped in free and fun learning and self-help communities much like OP defends). This should explain why i think you are talking about replacement institutions. Now for the optimism part: the fact that the internet fosters this kind of communities is not a given, it's enabled by having community-friendly internet. And this internet is currently being steam-rolled by corporate and state interests. Or better said, it is niche, just like it always has been. And funnily, this niche always had a sizeable intersection with academics, albeit outsiders. So yes, universities should be put upside down and shaked, and they could learn a lot from the internet, perhaps you'd say "get absorbed into". But the concept of enabling groups of people to maintain and create public-interest information using experiment and formalism won't go anywhere. This is the concept OP talks about when they say "university".

As a CEO I speak to other CEOs on a regular basis about what we're seeing. That means I'm clued in to my customers' trends, vendors' trends, and competitors' trends. I see stuff happening in my industry from a more holistic perspective than my employees. I can tell the difference between a revenue decline from a lack of competitiveness versus industry decline. You might not see us working but we talk. A lot.
It took a while for me to discover that truth about DSLR (SLR) lenses.

My attention was always on the camera and lenses weren't that interesting. Turns out the lenses last and the camera bodies are soon obsolete.

There are some exceptional they-don't-build-them-like-they-used-to lenses, like the canon 50mm f1.0

Of course with mirrorless you can use old lenses with a spacer, but now canon for instance is coming out with both r-mount and tiny m-mount lenses and you can gradually buy your collection over again.

(and there are still interesting things going on like the rf 85mm f1.2 normal and now DS model)
Review some electoral maps. The OP was referring to secessionary scenarios, in which case most of Inland California, including the San Joaquin Valley, belongs to Team Red.

The US, along with the rest of the world has a capitalism crisis, the mental health issues are just a symptom of the root disease.

People broadly speaking, need connection and meaning in their lives, and the capitalist systems most of us are slaves to does not even come close to providing it. Heck it actively seeks to avoid providing those things, as if people had them they might not need / want to work so damn much.

When your choices are spend 60+ hours a week working at one or more jobs where you could be laid off at a moments notice to protect the "Profits" of the already wealthy, or you know just fucking starve, it's no wonder so many people are stressed and depressed.

The world these days for a heck of a lot of people is like an automatic hamster wheel that keeps spinning faster and faster, and if you can't keep up you die. Sounds like a surefire recipe for a "Mental health crisis" to me...
Get better [...] so that you stand out

Please bear with me but this kind of advice is often a bit puzzling to me. I suppose you don't know the person you're replying to, so I read your advice as a general one - useful to anyone in the parent's position. If you were close to her, it would make sense to help her 'stand out' in detriment - logically - to strangers in her field. But here you're kind of helping every reader stand out.

I realise this comment is a bit vain. And I like the human touch of you helping a stranger.

I don't think it's gonna hurt if we apply filtering, either based on social signals or on quality ranking models. We can recycle the good stuff.
Like crime, Mental Health is an umbrella term that covers a lot of different metrics.

With crime, you can look at some Bellwether metrics like murder and try to understand the trends from there. Murders have indeed gone down over time.

When it comes to Mental Health, you can also look at bellwether stats. In the United States, there is certainly a dramatic increase in suicide deaths. I would argue that suicides are a fairly objective metric unlike diagnosis. Suicides have gone up significantly for most populations. Someone could quibble that drug overdoses could fall into the suicide category and contribute to this, but I would counter that even drug overdoses deaths are themselves supportive of a mental health problem.

When you see something like a 50% increase in suicides for 15 to 24 year old within a decade, I think it should ring some alarm bells and spur discussion.

May be a strawman, but his frustrations are real and I share his sentiment.

Sprints et al have been a mixbag for me, but the last 7 yrs (current team) have been plain utter BS. All the ceremonies too, retros are nothing but waste, because they only serve to praise undeserved credit with no product to show for most of that time period.

It's symptomatic of the fuzzy thinking that tends to infect the area and this article especially. Of course the Earth's climate has been changing ever since it formed, some billions of years before capitalism. You can't really fix 'climate change' for that reason and that it's not really a measurable thing though if you say wanted to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere you could put a price on releasing or removing CO2 and capitalism would roar ahead on doing that.

It should be obvious why, but if not consider a future where the SQLite team needs to replace a member. What's the plan if the best candidate is an Orthodox Jew? Are they going to update the CoE to read:

Even if they're the nicest and most welcoming Christians in the world and will make a better change without hesitation it's still presents a disincentive for non-Christians. There's simply no place for that in any professional setting.

> In both cases, there are default consequences in law that apply in the absence of contrary explicit agreement, particularly (relevant to thr current issue) as regards property attributable to the relationship, including which property that is.

I'm aware of that and seeing as the Bezos's marriage did not have a pre-nup, Jeff was relatively fortunate. But my concern is with how marriages are treated as legal institutions apart from how commercial contracts are upheld.

In a partnership, two private parties can create a contract by themselves. The state is not involved in the creation of a contract. The state will only involve itself with the contract's enforcement or the resolution of any suits arising from its dissolution. The state works within the body of laws it's upheld, but almost all rights stated in the contract supersede the default assumptions held by the state.

When it comes to marriage, the state (via the court) is deemed its creator, enforcer, and dissolver. A divorce can only be granted under the acceptance of the state's terms. A judge can decide to ignore precedent or the upholding of a pre-nup.
The exception: a well deserved nobel prize.
Fair enough, that's why my second sentence is there. The scrum master/manager should be building in QA support. If they aren't, they'r failing at their job. A individual developer should never be put in the position of killing a sprint in order to support a QA team for work the dev team did last week.
At this point (2022), we know ADHD has a genetic component. The "Hunter versus farmer hypothesis" is the most prevalent anthropological hypothesis (non-medical) about the historical positive/negative selection pressures for ADHD traits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_versus_farmer_hypothesi...

The tl;dr is that we think ADHD traits had positive selection pressure for 90% of human history, which is why ADHD is so common. ADHD is actually believed to be dramatically under-diagnosed in certain population slices, like adult women, because the diagnostic criteria was developed based on predominantly male/child subjects.

In the context of scouting for a nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe, ADHD traits seem like a gift.

In the context of modern American society, ADHD traits can lead to strong negative experiences spanning education, career, and relationships. In some contexts (like entrepreneurship), ADHD traits can still be a gift - but I'd hazard a guess that percentage-wise, a larger % of the ADHD population winds up in prison vs. becoming an entrepreneur.

Similar to autism, ADHD is a spectrum neurological disorder. "Disease" is the wrong term to use; "disorder" is the correct medical term. ADHD traits become a disorder they have a negative impact on development (childhood) or negative impact on well-being as an adult.

I wish Swift on TF had continued. It's got the nice syntax of Python with LLVM's speed. Julia tries to do the same, but it's still mostly an academic language with not-so-mature codebases. I like Python, but I think it's reached its peak usability nowadays. We need ever more computation and more complex abstractions that are simply impossible (or too difficult) to do in Python.
I understand the need for good documentation and tooling, but "languages as a product" are one of the more horrible aspects of the current dev environment. First of all, this mostly means that compiler and language are the same product. Second, it leads to the release early/often dev cycle which seems ill-suited to a language and its core library (remember core libraries?).

And language "branding"? What are we talking about here? TIOBE-SEO? Cute logos? Cute in-group names ("pythonist", "rustacean", "gopher" ...)

We can start with anti-racism (the movement lead by Kendi) which is prominent in these schools. Refer to my post history for why Kendi is a racist bigot. We can talk about women's studies courses which have universally become megaphones for fringe third wave feminist ideas. Ideas like denying the suffering of men, or suggesting that something like misandry is not real. We can talk about how these fringe actors also go above and beyond to divert attention away from Men's issues such as child support (and the subsequent criminal punishment associated), the lack of "male abortion", etc.

For example, the women's studies course I was forced to take to graduate made me feel like a sack of shit of even being alive for a full semester. It wasn't "shedding the light" on anything. It was literally a woman standing in front of the class and telling men they are worthless. This isn't hyperbole. We had to write apology letters to pass (if we were white, and male). Other non-white, non-male students got to write about their "experiences" with white-dominated patriarchy. There was nothing to learn in this class except how far the lunatic fringe has penetrated academia, and this was over a decade ago.

Other ideas in the running for fringe include fringe economic ideas (reparations paid based on skin color) or full-on communist indoctrination like we have seen in various private liberal arts schools like Reed.

I know your post is in bad faith so I don't intend to reply any further since these radical actors in these programs have made national headlines since 2013. Suffice it to say that the ideas of the radical left are ever present in an area that should have sufficient coverage of all ideas. This is a problem, as the arts are no longer "liberal". They simply function as political indoctrination.

This sent me musing whether we are actually witnessing the emergence of a new type of gamesmanship. If we don't end up killing each other in another global war (sadly there won't be subsequent volumes about "the war no one wanted"), then having men and machines team up in competitive environments is a given. (This is already happening, no doubt, in military settings.)

Maybe new games can be devised, or existing games modified, that can't default to games that are machine vs machine with the human teammates reduced to secretaries in the game. Games designed with AI teammate already in mind. The human role can't be just physical. I wonder what that would be like.

I agree. The Imagen videos are incredibly impressive, but they are also cherry-picked examples and there are noticeable quality issues. Similar to what we have seen with self-driving cars, I expect it will take years to go from an impressive tech demo to the kind of tool that can reliably deliver the kind of quality, versatility, and specificity needed for professional applications.

So at the very least the parent probably has time to do a bit of soul searching to decide and prepare for their next undertaking.
