I don’t fully agree. The author has quite a few excellent points, but when one says it may “harm” the “maintenance” of your software one must define which variables are used to measure “maintainability”. Is it MTTR, cycle times, bug density, or what?

Speaking of maintenance in broad terms makes the argument fuzzy.
> Assuming just 100,000,000 eligible adults, you’re talking about $1.2 trillion per year.

Which is less than Social Security and the federal portion of unemployment insurance. By hundreds of billions.
> But for math proofs, we shouldn't assume that people have competence of common basic parts.

Well, it does depend on the audience you're writing for. So research math doesn't do that, whereas first-year undergrad math makes an effort to. I think it's essential for first-year math programs to have a course where you redevelop basic induction, natural numbers, addition, etc. from first-order logic and rules of inference and ZFC, which I don't think is true everywhere. And there should be an aspect of it that's about converting that formal proof to informal proof given some assumptions about the reader. Beyond this, it starts to get tedious.

Maybe it's different in the US, but second-hand books here more implies antiquarian, rare, collector, special interest, niche, not available new.

People aren't going to a second-hand bookshop to buy everyday reading that they could get new from Amazon.

Kind of. The vast majority of covid assistance was given to rich people (via the PPP). As for the stimulus checks, well those were designed to be spent to keep the economy chugging and were pretty small in total.
> I found out other IDEs are good enough for me.

IDEs as in plural, like several IDEs? What IDEs are you using now? I'm yet to find something that is as good for several languages as Idea Ultimate? Yes, for some languages Vscode plugin is superior, but overall as a polyglot I find Idea experience the best all things considered.
1. They try to find higher paying jobs to earn more money to raise their living standards. Which is exactly what people who want higher living standards would do right now. I'm not sure I understand your question.

2. The "fairness" that's relevant here is a function of (say) "net income/expended effort", not "tax rate". People get mad that others who put similar effort earn a lot more net income than them, not a lot more gross income.
They help a lot when you're dealing with lots of projects where you really care about specific x.y.z release, not just x.y. Then having a common way to manage runtimes is great if you use a few of them.

In short, "asdf install" is way better than download-compile-install python x.y.z, download-compile-install node x.y.z, etc. then making sure the scripts you start actually use the right version.
I'm not sure why we even need a trial.

It will be a resounding success and the guaranteed income and MMT crowds will point to this study as "proof" that guaranteed income does not cause economy-destroying inflation, always ignoring that it only gave money to 300 people in a city of nearly 4 million.

There, I just saved the city of LA $10,800,000 plus several more millions in bureaucrats.
I am not a lawyer, but that is also the case in the US as far as I know. For example,

Torrenting copyrighted material is illegal because you necessarily share files as you download (if a peer asks for a piece) but direct downloading or streaming via HTTP or Usenet etc. is legal. Hosting those files via HTTP/Usenet etc is not though.

1. process is not suboptimal, market conditions are different. Why would any well qualified minority go to msf for 120k in Atlanta if they can get 240 in Mountain view + relocation bonus? Plus most of qualified minority candidates are hired from top tier engineering programs are across the country. Local market is irrelevant at this point

2. You are wrong again, facetime is irrelevant, because of relocation. Very few will stay at MSFT in Atlanta for 100k if they can double pay + relo to CA/Seattle. Google does have office in atlanta, btw.

Your concept of supposedly "untapped talent in Minneapolis" is wrong, because in Minneapolis metro is about 3.5M people and Target can tap from talent pool of 3.5M, while places like Bay Area can tap from global talent pool (7B people) who self-selects and specifically migrates to places like Bay Area/NY/Seattle. This is three orders of magnitude difference in talent quantity and quality.

There is a reason Walmart established office in Bay Area, and doesn't want to limit itself to the great talent pool of Fayetville AR
I find that sentiment ironic because I won't use it unless it can't be backed up (the main selling point of 2FA and hardware keys).

If it can be backed up, then a casual bystander/process can also "back up", filch all of your credentials in a few moments with you being none the wiser.

The protocol is open, so I can use one proprietary key from company A, one from company B, and a few open source keys. Keep one for regular use and the rest as backups.

I mostly agree with this, and also with the parent poster. I've seen framework become a big problem, and I've seen shitty ad-hoc frameworks for "framework-less" applications.

I've had fairly good success with what I like to call "framework libraries". That is, all or most of the functionality of a framework, but composed more as a library (or rather, a set of libraries) than a framework, giving you the best of both, mostly. ORMs are often given as an example, but I rarely found them as issue as most I've used have an "escape" to allow you to just use SQL if need be. The bigger problems with frameworks are when you want to compose some application in a way the framework doesn't really like (this can be a problem in Rails, for example).

I aggressively push things to libraries whenever I work on something; sometimes they can be made public, sometimes not, but even when private it helps a lot in mentality of people, especially with certain kind of devs.
Just fyi, you're way to specific with the details you've provided
It only took a week or two until Stable Diffusion was in Figma and Photoshop
I do appreciate how you're lambasting someone for providing sources by commenting on how a guy won't provide...more sources. Incredible.

Yeah... "just an extra couple thousands dollars". The government pumped in excess of 4 trillion dollars into the market going directly to people [0]. Only 20% of these people spent their second and third check on necessary expenses [1]. So by grade school mathematics 80% of the money was spent on non-necessities.

You don't honestly believe this didn't contribute to inflation? YOLOing money via robinhood, buying electronics, car payments (0% APR loans were everywhere and flying off the shelves), trips, etc. This all contributes to inflation by pumping more money into the system. These people didn't save their money. They spent it like it was going out of style. The result of an overheated economy is...inflation.

Then you pair this with supply constraints induced by government incompetence, large amounts of money printed to buy back treasuries and bail out banks, etc. In total, there is so much extra money in the system we are probably going to see inflation for a while.

I live in a low COL area and my grocery bill has gone up almost 100%. My friends in California have seen that much or more. Gas prices have just tripled in my area. "bogus right wing propaganda" is the ultimate cop-out to such an important issue. Burying your head in the sand and blaming your favorite boogeyman isn't going to make your grocery bill cheaper.

You are making multiple comments talking about Microsoft and Shopify not putting resources into Ruby/rails but both companies have core contributors on them.
That's definitely true! But if both are in one app you don't need to remember who uses Signal and who doesn't; it just works. Now with two apps, you have to run that mental check before sending a message and choose the right app.
What's crazier is that if you run in circles of the unvaccinated, you almost think it's all in everyone's head. I mentioned earlier I work in a company where almost no one got vaccinated. We're somewhat customer facing, but did wear masks when the state required it.

Almost no one has gotten covid of any of my friends/coworkers. I've been casual as can be, never touching a hand wash squirter, going out in SF outdoor and indoor dining if they didn't check, and haven't been sick since 2018 or early 2019. Before that, I was actually one of those sickness manchilds that honestly twice a year would almost be unable to function for an entire week.

I'm about starting to think people can will themselves into not getting sick, and maybe will themselves into it.

My friends don't believe in it, and I and others haven't sniffled in 2 years.

Downvote away for personal experiences Im sure.
If they blew their cost estimate that badly, then yes, it is a massive error on Intel's part.
Amazon lists 2nd hand books, and if you pay for Prime, you can get free shipping, I believe. However, I recommend you take a look at Better World Books, thriftbooks, world of books, discover books, second sale; each of these will sometimes sell books, new or used, below the standard prices that Amazon sets and the other high-volume booksellers follow.
Then there was an implication? That the anecdote isn't representative of what is actually happening?

This is what happens when you view your application as an abstract Platonic object, immortal and perfect, outside any actual concrete implementation. Making the app serve web requests is part of the problem to be solved. The problem is the problem. Looking up whether a user exists as part of handling a request is completely fine because that's the simplest way to make the app do what it needs to do.

If you have some stupid "clean architecture" layer bullshit where your own application doesn't know how any of the rest of it works and everything is absurdly decoupled via some hexagonal bullshit, you're going to get into shitty situations where e.g. you have to call the database repository to do N queries rather than just one because the "clean domain layer" is written that way and the "HTTP message delivery layer" is only an "implementation detail" that has nothing to do with the pure business domain. Then your product will fucking suck fucking shit and you haven't actually solved the problem.
Article references a study saying 50% of people haven't fully recovered after a few months. Whats the exaggeration? Still hundreds of people dying a day from covid in the US which is 4X higher than the flu for comparison.

Maybe that's the problem.

We're trying to train a full composer AI without allowing to learn about different instrument sections independently at first. The human composer will have a good idea of the different parts and know how to merge them in harmony.

I think we might get better results training separate AI systems on percussions, strings, vocals etc. then somehow create connections between them so they learn together. A band AI if you will.

We could try a BERT for each, with the generator learning to output logical sequences of sounds instead of words.
> do you really have an incentive to work if 90% of the money is going to taxes

There's no reason the tax rate would have to hit that number, or anywhere close to that number. I'd like to see math that supports it. Most math I've seen suggests a far more modest increase in taxes.
> Covid has a nearly 100% survival rate.

Not sure about that survival rate, but do know 1 in 5 people with covid get long covid which can include loss of taste, smell, and neurological effects very bad for knowledge workers.
Well that's pretty much what is paid as 'income security' in 2021:

So maybe it's not as unreasonable as it sounds. The next question would be - are we doubling what was spent in 2021 or just swapping out the old system with the new one.

Experimenting with the entire country's population and a significant fraction of its economic output seems infeasible and irresponsible. I think the ball is in team UBIs court to devise a reproducible small scale experiment with a decent hypothesis to test before a country wide rollout.
Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude.

Do gig economy products eventually become worse than their predecessors?
Gig economy marketplaces start with a really strong promise but overtime they become worse than the problem they tried to fix.

Is this the fate for all such companies given that it’s now highly regulated & they are dependent on suppliers that are hard to control? Or is there an opportunity to further disrupt the current gig economy marketplaces?

Case in point:
AirBnb: You select a place that is $250 and by the time you reach checkout page - the actual price you pay is > $450!

Doordash: When you order, the delivery time shows as 40 mins but by the time it arrives it's actually 1hr 40mins.

Uber: To travel 2 miles, you need to fork out $30!

Thoughts?
> A great deal of time, effort, and money goes into high-quality telepresence (at least in my area) for offenders who cannot attend court (due to COVID, the nature of their offense, etc).

Interestingly this is the exact opposite of what I've heard: Prisoners are sat in front of low-quality cameras that barely work on a good day, and have a hard time comprehending what's said and being comprehended. "Luckily", that's usually not necessarily in our current system.

If you're comfortable do you mind sharing what court you're talking about?

No judgement from me. Dumb laws deserve disobedience - cannabis wouldn't have become legalized if people didn't break the law. Personally though, I have decided that I am past the life stage where I wanna practice civil disobedience.
For me, it's about uploading files to the "cloud" such as Google Drive or Github and wanting to make sure that the data I uploaded is the same data that I am getting back. If the signatures fail I could unpack the file and manually review them to see what's up.

In your case, I think the problem is having backups that are attackable from production, and likely only having one set of backups.

>You cannot just not use the backup

What would you do if instead of tampering with the backups or production they just deleted everything outright?
This argument can be used word-by-word in favor of SPAs and against earlier web applications, but it's a No True Scotsman either way.

I'm fully in favor of "make life less shitty" as a medical intervention.
“This story is, yet again, a failure of the city to act and address a single person who has severe problems and is causing severe problems that are affecting hundreds of people negatively,” Pacia said.
All cases which I know personally which didn't had asymptotic COVID took multiple month to _fully_ recover.

That doesn't mean they hadn't recovered enough to work or socialize a bit again after much less time. But they still had problems like for example bouts of weakness well over a month later.

This kind of long term Symptoms aren't that rare for more serve virus infections in general. They are unusual common with COVID but other viruses can cause that, too. It's just that many societies force people to treat this as if they are fine and power through it, maybe by using non-prescription drugs. While I hadn't(1) had COVID yet I went through similar situations twice in my live in the past. Strong virus infection, fast "recovery" to a point I could go back to school but slightly over a month until I was actually fully recovered with funny experiences like nearly passing out when doing sport in a amount which I had been trivially able to do before the virus infection.

(1): At least no positive test.

Anyway the point I want to make is:

- fully recovered can mean many things

- it's not a fundamentally new thing

- but due to high covid rates and being relatively more likely with covid, it has become a problem.

- It's a problem even if the number is much less then half depending on the definitions you use for fully recovered and of what you take half.

There's "crazy cheap" on Amazon, and there's "crazy cheap" second hand, but there's likely an order of magnitude between them.

Annecdotally here 2nd hand books cost around $2, for recent stuff, sometimes less than $1 for age or condition. New ones are $10 - $15.

So new and 2nd-hand are not really "competing" with each other, price wise.

Yes they compete, yes there are many other factors that affect the profitability of 2nd hand stores, but I don't think price-of-new is a major factor (in a decline sense.)

Tribulus Terrestris, at a low dose. It probably isn't doing much to be honest, but I'm trying not to add or remove too many things at once. That will probably be the next one to go.

Ah, that makes sense, then.

I like seeing assumptions being made and brought to the forefront, as that is the basis for some powerful mathematical techniques.

I do wonder, however, if the researchers are fully aware of collaborative robots. I see that a couple of their sources are based on collaborative robotics, but the authors may not have fully distinguished between collaborative and non-collaborative robots.

IEEE does appear to be studying the intersection of robotics and psychology though [1].

Sure, we have a scenario in three parts:

2. She bleeds to death in a corridor.

3. You get attacked by strangers claiming you are a phony.

Don't you think the damage occurs in step 2? What did Alex Jones have to do with that?

yes. Disruption to undercut and starve workers in the current industry, then when you're a monopoly, or near enough, you jack up prices.

Only because it is in alpha currently.
I'm not sure what can really be done about that while still allowing custom AMIs with arbitrary operating systems. "Talk to local network" is a pretty generic interface.
