"It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons." -- Admiral Leahy

“I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of ‘face.’”

The urgency of the program was to get the bombs out the door before their target surrendered either to the USSR or unconditionally. The only thing needed to arrange a surrender much sooner was to give the government some way to rationalize it as not an 'unconditional' surrender even if the terms were the same.

McArthur et al weren't as evil as the Japanese command, but they weren't that far off.
It is not a parody. It uses the words "ostensibly" and "theoretically" in describing the tortoise's lifespan, amidst all the warnings of what can go wrong if you don't properly care for them. It sounds like they're acknowledging that people are gonna have these animals as pets, damn the cost and consequence, and kill them through neglect.
It helps to consider the pretentious artistry as part of the piece. The writing about his experience doing the piece, and the experiences themselves are more interesting than the piece itself and need not be separate criteria.

It's okay for most people to be alienated by it. They are neither wrong nor right to be so: I'm just happy that this art form exists.
First we have to agree on what FP style even means.

For some it means chaining collection operations so "one line of code" solves an entire problem. This is not unlike the regexp wizard who can perform miracles with a regular expression which is incomprehensible to most other developers.

The above is what turns many people off from FP. As another commenter said, "what's wrong with a loop"? Indeed, accessibility matters; and if your team and new arrivals are not in that mindset, it's like a new language; and they already know a "language" and believe they are getting work done. Why complicate things?

I don't believe real FP is about doing these super concise expressions which can take considerable time to comprehend. I think FP is really more about pushing effects and mutations to edges, purifying (and simplifying) intermediate steps/functions, and using simple data structures.

The huge selling point of this kind of FP is in testability. When 90% of your code is pure and operates on simple data structures, testing each function is a breeze. No more do you need layers of setup and mocking. You don't even need full objects. If you're testing for a valid phone number in a person "record", you need only pass in a person: { phone: '12343241' }. All the rest of the crap which you would normally have to deal with, just to test this one thing, evaporates.

It does mean you end up with a LOT more functions. Then code organization and naming becomes a more significant challenge. But the end result, I believe, is still very much worth it.

And from my two recent experiences bringing this approach to OOP teams, I have found that after a brief period of fear and uncertainty, they end up adopting it enthusiastically.
The issue is that Ansible right now today is just Python but if you tied chopsticks to your fingers when typing. It’s not declarative, it’s sequentially evaluated with all the flow control and concurrency bugs to go with it.

You have to already be a good coder to write Ansible but you have all your limbs tied behind your back because you
get none of the features of Python to help you reign in complexity and validate correctness.
Hi friend, if you change the `height` values to `min-height` in that fiddle, I think you get the behavior you're looking for.
As an author, I’ve been thinking about the future and it sounds dreamy. AI is good at producing verbiage, which readers want for some reason. Humans are good at producing insight, which is the true product that readers are looking for, but don’t want to pay for (with clicks or money).

So what if the author produced a 5 bullet insight and AI expanded it into the word salad that readers want to buy? We’re getting there, lots of startups in this space.

Another aspect of why the word lettuce matters is SEO. So it feels like there may be a future where humans communicate in 5 bullet insights packaged as word salad by bots for bots.
I'm skeptical that Deutsch actually meant that, but even smart people have crazy ideas.
UK Proposes Easing Net Neutrality Rules
I see smoke, but the fire department has not confirmed that there’s a fire. Therefore, there’s no fire, and ideology is the only reason I might believe?

Note that I didn’t say “without evidence” at the end - smoke is evidence, as is an article that you’re commenting on talking about thefts that are common enough to make half of a city’s citizens victims in a five year period. And, you cite a source that notes that people aren’t reporting because nothing comes of it.

I mean, what reason other than ideology would explain your unwillingness to take that stuff as evidence?
> The police forces were created to protect property and 'the system', not people, and that's what they continue to do.

I think it's rather naive to consider otherwise. Somewhere along the way we were fed this childish mythology about the importance of the individual, which is definitely captivating, stirring one's imagination with sparks of creativity, but the truth is that institutions and 'the system' are the bedrock of civilization and thus society. Fanciful thoughts of some anarcho-libertarian ideal state are cute, but much farther down the list of priorities than the continued function of the machinery of civilization, on which everything depends. And the enforcement required so that state continues is liberally allotted to almost every government agency.
> Airbnbs can be nice and give you a real sense of being a resident of a place

I really don't get this. If you're vacationing there's no way you'll feel anywhere near a "sense of being a resident". It's vacations, you're a tourist, there's nothing wrong with that. I don't get what about the "experience" of a regular Airbnb is better than staying at a decent hotel.

Of course this does not apply to exotic Airbnbs.
We can care about more than one thing at once. This article is about attempts to stop Google from doing it. That's what we're talking about.

I would wager a DMCA takedown would work better in these situations.
Personally it feels like any new development always comes with a "and also your data" notice attached to it. That sucks. That sucks a lot.

As the article points out, there is this feeling of no longer being in control. That we used to buy technology that benefited us, that changed our lives, now a days mostly everything feels either derivative and incremental or coming out as a sort of double blade product. I mean, people love to shit on Tiktok but... it's a great product, it's extremely fun, if only it didn't come with the whole "but it might literally be a government weapon" attachment and even if this wasn't the case it might also come with a "but we kind of just want to monetize every aspect of it".

It's just... tiring. Some devices that I've found to be really comforting are music players (that you can install rockbox in them), small portable chinese consoles (that you can also install custom firmware on them) and e-readers (that I also install custom firmware in them). I guess... I like being in control, a little bit. I like the tinkering culture, I like that alternative life.

In any case, this article was pretty good, thanks for sharing it.
I don’t think extrovert is necessarily correlated with skilled speaker.

I know lots of extroverts who are terrified of speaking in front of others and introverts who love it.

I think this is easier for people who are good at speaking but I think exercises like this will develop the skill.
From the article:

>Mr. Paxton said in a statement. “I will continue to fight Big Tech to ensure the privacy and security of all Texans.”

It's obvious pandering to the masses. This is about Mr.Paxton trying to get some attention.
It's just that TensorFlow is big and bloated, has quite a few quirks and it's not the cool thing to use anymore so they're doing some work to address these issues. TensorFlow is still very popular and you can get work done with it.
Well, the thing is that the MWI is actually simpler than all the other interpretations, because it simply removes the idea of wave function collapse entirely. Any theory involving wave function collapse is adding something extra to quantum physics that can't be demonstrated experimentally.

Because we live in the macro world, it feels like a single unitary reality is simpler, but actually, the MWI makes fewer assumptions. So I would turn that around and put the burden on the other theories to show that collapse is real, the default position should be MWI.
Larry McEnerney, Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program, makes the point that (I'm paraphrasing) students don't learn to write for real world audiences by writing for an audience that's forced to read their crap (teachers).

I may be misremembering what I heard when I watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM

They call it a "nuclear option" which generally implies some level of effectiveness. The fact that nobody would agree to go along with this sort of scheme renders it ineffective. This isn't a nuclear option, it is a wet fart option.

The headline says half of SF residents in survey have been victims of theft.

Which is exactly what the survey results said.

What's the misleading part.

It didn't say muggings or break-ins it said theft.

It also didn't ask if people felt their neighborhood was dangerous. That's a different type of question that also isn't necessarily a crime statistic.

For example, do you think it's dangerous if there's a deranged person outside your home with a knife claiming he's going to knife the next infant he sees? According to crime statistics that's completely irrelevant to the neighborhood's safety.

Different numbers measure different things.

It's just such an odd specific criticism to call a survey copaganda, when it appears to be one of the very very few crime related metrics I have read that is NOT collected and communicated by cops.
I think you’re going at it backwards. If you are going to ask a student to write an essay, it’s on you to be able to show that it’s the best way to help that particular student cultivate their writing and critical thinking skills.
Yeah, I almost never consider an Airbnb nowadays for these extra costs. Hotels do this too (with city tax for example), but that is just a few extra dollars a night, and not almost as high as the cost per night.

I think the original spirit of someone renting out extra space they have is long gone. It's either a big company renting out what could have been rental units in the first place, or someone renting their place but you have to almost beg them to be flexible with timing, amenities, etc. I would feel much more comfortable complaining to a hotel if the beds are dirty, as opposed to an Airbnb host.

> “For biology, we would learn about biotech and write five good and bad things about biotech. I would send a prompt to the AI like, ‘what are five good and bad things about biotech?’ and it would generate an answer that would get me an A.”

I don't call that an essay, and it's something that can be done with a 10 seconds google search without AI.
Not only are you missing nothing, you may have identified one of the dimensions of why this lawsuit is coming from Texas specifically.

It may be the stick in a carrot-and-stick negotiation for sharing that camera data with Texas LEO. A lawsuit like this can be dropped by the prosecution any old time, and there's no particular requirement that all reasons the suit was dropped be publicly stipulated.
The issue is the writing paradigm shifts entirely in college. A college English professor would typically fail a standard B-A tier 5 paragraph high school information dump essay. One of the first things I was told in my writing courses in college was to forget that model entirely.
I loved the style of book report that we had with a high school English teacher.

While the class was otherwise busy, the teacher called you up to report on your self-chosen-from-a-list book. The teacher opened the book to a page and would read a passage and ask questions about it like what are they talking about, what happened right before and after this. After a couple of passages at different spots, you got your grade.

You are not feigning anyone familiar with the material.
Do we have the workforce? Working reliable supply chains, and the willingness to make it all work?
Not as far as I'm aware. I don't know much about Wifi mesh, but I'm guessing that it has two channels - one for being "master" and one for "slave".

I.e. the master channel is used to serve wifi to the nearby devices, and to the next wifi routers in a chain, whereas the slave channel is used to get wifi from any upstream routers.

We wouldn't describe that approach as FDMA - more that it has a separate channel for backhaul.
I read the code carefully, both yesterday and today, and it's correct.

Read it yourself here:

> that's why they provide https://lite.cnn.com/en

That doesn't seem to be the default presentation I get when I browse on my phone, via Firefox or Safari. That a lite version exists is great, but if it's invisible (unless you know, and you enter the URL manually), it might as well not exist.
The American educational-system essay is an artificial construct designed to be easy to teach and easy to grade, without being useful for the purposes of educating the essay author or the audience or being persuasive.

Writing is generally good. Expressing yourself is good. Analysis and critique are good. The artificial essay is useless.
Every time the Canon Cat comes up, I'm surprised no-one mentions the Amstrad PCW family and Locoscript. It was launched two years before the Canon Cat, and not only made it to market but had roughly the same market penetration in the UK as lightbulbs.

Given that a lot of Amstrad stuff wasn't exactly known for being the highest quality the PCW8256 and 8512 were surprisingly good for the £400 they cost (about a grand in today's money, roughly half the price of the Canon Cat). You got a fairly chunky computer about the size of a 14" TV with a green screen monitor which had a not-ridiculous persistence so no flickering and a fairly "gentle" colour. The 3" disks were a bit weird. The keyboard was a nicely clicky "spring over membrane" design that felt nearly as good as a proper mechanical one (not a patch on a Model M but better than most!) and had a bunch of buttons for commonly-used functions. If you pressed any of the modifier keys the menu at the top of the screen would change to show you what you could do. It even came with a dot-matrix printer that could do graphics after a fashion.

You could buy a posher version with a white screen and a daisywheel printer, too, but they were more expensive and the printer was extremely slow and noisy.

It was only slightly harder to get started with than a biro and a notepad.

I wish Locoscript had won instead of MS Word.
On what issue? Democrats are to the left of the developed world on most social issues. For example, in the EU, neither abortion nor same-sex marriage are recognized as inalienable rights, but rather are afforded as legislative prerogatives: https://www.loc.gov/item/global-legal-monitor/2015-09-14/eur..., https://voelkerrechtsblog.org/the-right-to-abortion-and-the-...

On economic issues, the Democrat mainstream is center to center right compared to Europe. But overlook that social democracies in Europe went through a long conservative retrenchment after the 1960s and 1970s. Look at the corporate tax rates in Sweden.

To be clear, non-monogamy is also not a silver bullet to a failing marriage

There's even a name for that: RBAMP (Relationship Broken, Add More People).

The silver bullet, as it were, is open communication about your needs, wants, and fears. Sometimes, that leads to ethical non-monogamy -- when that is actually what you want, and when you can manage the genuine fears that come with that.

Sometimes, it reveals other issues that require other solutions. It depends on the partners, and how well they understand themselves and each other. The things you think you want are not always what you want.

It would definitely help to stop having society declare non-monogamy the ultimate sin, even if that's what the partners want. Relationships are hard enough without having to satisfy people who aren't even part of it.
I find most of this useless/overcomplicated.

> Cascade layers

Feels like we only need this because cascading works less and less well once you start to include multiple frameworks or pieces thereof. At some point people find themselves in a jungle of !important. If you keep the cascade small and clean, you'll most likely not need that.

> Container queries

Probably the designs I have to implement are not complicated enough, but I could work very well with media queries so far.

Also this blurs the lines between markup and styling furthermore. Now you are defining IDs/classes in CSS which will make the code harder to debug.

> accent-color

Yeah, this is kind of nice. On the other hand we should not forget where the "this always gets styled by the system" comes from: Accessibility. With accent-color I can now totally easy screw up various kinds of inputs in the name of corporate design.

> Color level 4 and 5 & hwb()

Oh come on, this must be a joke. Color management is VERY hard to do, now we put more of that into CSS. But yes, advertisements can then be delivered with a wide gamut colorspace for more impact. Great.

> inert

What? This is just as bad as highjacking the scrollbar behaviour. Now you can make your website behave modal although there's no modal. Feels like another "right clicks are forbidden"-level when your paragraphs are set to inert and you can't interact with those anymore.

> Viewport units

More units of measurement is totally what CSS was missing. /s

> :has()

The parent selector looks like the only useful thing to me from that list. It will (theoretically) help clearing up the markup mess because you need less containers etc. if you want to style surrounding elements differently depending on their child content.
It's become, at the very least, politically risky to suggest that the tendency of major industries over the past several decades to optimize away everything that doesn't maximize profit could be anything but the Most Holy And True Way, All Hail The Almighty Dollar(/Pound/Euro).

But it's also become painfully clear over the past few years that this tendency is deeply harmful not only to society as a whole, but also to that very industry when any kind of shock to the system occurs, because all redundancy and resiliency to shocks has been optimized away as "wasteful". This includes having more than 1 employee in any given role for far too many companies (see "lean staffing"), which means that if that 1 employee gets COVID, or gets hit by a bus, or quits, or (horror of horrors) even goes on vacation, suddenly there's no one who can do that work at all, and potentially no one who even knows how it's been done.

We desperately need to realign our industries around a) what supports human beings and their needs, b) what ensures continuity of business, and c) what ensures redundancy in the entire system, including the supply chain, so that we can avoid these kinds of utterly foreseeable difficulties. But proposing anything other than what makes the already-wealthy shareholders' currency-denominated high scores go up as much as inhumanly possible is, if it is considered at all, seen as effectively political suicide for anyone not already as openly left-wing as, say, Bernie Sanders.

If we, the people, want this kind of change, we need to signal it by saying so openly, and by voting out the politicians at all levels and in all countries who prioritize business profits over humanity and common sense.
It's about attempts by the people who will do the other thing to stop Google from doing it.

I'm sure Texas law enforcement wouldn't mind if cops could operate in neighborhoods with less worry about what people's Ring cameras will show them doing.
don't be an arse, she's very clearly talented and her work is politically motivated, making it ripe for the picking at an exhibit in the future.

anywho, i was at a farmers market // flea market the other day and walked past this old looking gown. i noticed the price tag was set at nearly $1,000, so i went up to the lady and asked her if she'd made it, why else would it priced so? she laughed and explained to me that she could never dream of being so talented, she was simply invited to an estate sale the previous week in rural Vermont (is there any other kind of Vermont? lol). it happens that the family farm is hundreds of years old and the dress i'd been so captivated by was older than my home state. for being so old, it was in pretty good condition. i learned that it was handmade by one of the daughters of the original homeowner. i asked her why she was selling it here and not hoarding it herself or donating it to a museum. apparently, the daughter was indeed skilled at dressmaking and it was one of a dozen or so such gowns, this being the one in worst condition. a couple were kept by the family, several were sold to collectors, and the rest donated to museums. so, the way i see it, it would not be so strange to see works like this in a museum some day.

>There's a demand for all sorts of consumer items in the world but people hit their limits.

That's the thing with a lot of VC-subsidized services. There are a lot of services that consumers would be happy to, well, consume if they were cheap enough. Drivers, personal chefs, weekly housekeepers, lawn services, laundry pickup, etc. Even people with an upper middle class income are pretty selective about that sort of thing.

>But many would rather go back to the tiny fridges filled with pricey junk food they never touch, if it means saving hundreds of dollars a weekend and flexible cancellation policies.

Kitchens are not a big deal for me when I travel. A fridge is nice but you get a small one you can use a lot of the time in hotels these days and minibars seem to have mostly gone out of fashion.
