I tried it with a few simple apps and the performance in very simplistic card-like games was ~20 fps on a very powerful PC.
The input lag was very noticable when dragging cards with the mouse, so the performance is very, very far from native.
My answer would be that individual intentions are ultimately the only thing that matters, but they are shaped by cultures which use abstractions to communicate and connect. Social control means learning which abstractions will stick, like finding a catchy tune, but the most memorable ideas aren't always the best. When an internalized abstraction leads to negative consequences, people tend to rebel against it and find another one.

The goals of abstract institutions are abstractions of intentions. They exist in both the minds of those who write them down and those who carry them out, and a perfect translation between those two groups will never happen. If we want to get down reality, we have to talk about the intentions of the actual people involved.
I don't think they ever got out of this stage TBH. Workplaces are getting more toxic as years go by IME.
Most hotel rooms don't have kitchens. It's not unreasonable to want a kitchen if you're staying somewhere for a week or two. But expecting those people to buy or lease a home is unreasonable. Short-term rental of homes is the solution to this.
As one of those genx with a house larger than I need... yes.

The flip side of that is when I bought this hose from (looking it up) silent generation owner who was moving to a nursing home, there wasn't any other housing inventory in the price range and area and cost. Buying an old house and fixing it up over the years was much cheaper than buying a new house another half an hour out of town that costs 2x-3x more.

The buying a small house new house is still 2x-3x more than this old house would sell for.

Other than that this is a big house, there is no reason to sell it at this time. Additionally, the new development that is being built is targeting the most money that can be packed into a single lot... and... well, I don't want or need that.

If people want me to move out, build a nice 1-2 br 1.5 bath with a room for a home office on the quiet end of a street. I don't need a fancy kitchen. I don't need a place for fancy plates to show off in the dining room. I don't need a man cave with a bar or a three car garage... just something nice and sensible.

And yes, it is certainly a problem. Housing supply has been woefully under built for a decade or more, and that which is there is not targeting what remains of the middle aged middle class that sees a 30 year mortgage when they're 40 as absurd. The less expensive supply is often getting bought up by people speculating, as a rental property (either by a landlord or by a company).

Which brings us to "I've got a house, its paid off, going anywhere else reduces my net worth and gives me some debt that I'm unlikely going to be pay off before I retire - there is no reason to move at all."

Must be some VIP tickets.

I paid $300 in festival tickets this summer to see Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, and 60 other bands.

Now, festivals can either suck or be fun as far as sound, weather, etc. goes - but anything over 100 bucks to see a headliner + warmup gig better be top shelf stuff.

Yeah agreed. I feel a bit icky running computationally-expensive stuff like this on someone else's dime. Give us a crypto address or something to donate to! Preferably not PayPal, though, if my say mattered.
I agree with you and food and shelter are way more important but culture is important. I live in NYC and it's very easy for me to see artists I listen to for ~$35 every other night of the week. I can easily skip big, expensive acts and not really be missing out on anything.

But there are many people living in an area that don't have an opportunity to see smaller acts and only get access to stadium type shows in the closest major city. It's a shame people are missing out on culture due to monopolistic greed.

You'll never remember the time watching an artist on YouTube but you would certainly remember going to their concert. The same as sports.

If the artist chooses not to partner with ticketmaster, they will just buy the tickets at retail and scalp them. This is why you hear about so many shows selling out in the first five minutes. It's not real people buying them, it's ticketmaster bots.
> If [country-wide private surveillance] shouldn't exist at all, a bad version of it also shouldn't exist.

While I’m on the side of less surveillance in general, I don’t think I like this logic: it seems to me that the crucial point that distinguishes the systems of the last couple of decades from what came before is convenience. “No expectation of privacy” means very different things when someone needs to physically follow you around or even make a lucky guess as to which CCTV to look at compared to making a query from the comfort of their desk. It’s one thing for a passing cop to memorize your license plate number and then have to thumb through paper files in order to know that’s you; it’s another for them to have a full map of every car and owner name on it. (I don’t think the latter extremes are available in most countries yet, FWIW.) The bland “expectation of privacy” wording seems to miss this sliding scale of effort for a given amount of tracking.

I actually half suspect that this argument is wrong for some dumb reason I’m missing, because I don’t have a source for it (even though it seems to be in the air somehow) and even supposed experts like EFF lawyers don’t seem to be making it. But I haven’t yet found that reason.

I was born in México and I wasn't born in privilege, it took me decades of work to get out of that hellish place. None of the problems I had while I was there had to do with this so called "history or foreign intervention", they all had to do with my immediate surroundings full of imbeciles who could barely function as human beings.

Let me tell you a story about a neighborhood who was throwing their trash to a river next to them (even though they had municipal garbage collection two days a week). That river, which ran through their backyard, was in an absolutely disgusting state all the time. Then when rain season came, all of that trash washed out to another place where it caused flooding because it clogged the wastewater pipes.

Let me tell you a story about a guy who was stealing immunotherapy drugs (who were procured by the government and meant for ailing child, I wish I was making this up) and selling them outside the hospital for a profit, with a complete disregard for the lives of the patients there. You want to know how much he was making out of this? Around 2,000 USD/month. You can EASILY make that money and much more without having to murder kids.

Let me tell you a story about some idiot who tried to get some kids (ages 4-12) from a primary school hooked on drugs so he laced their food with fentanyl and they all went into a coma.

I could write a book with 100s of stories like these that you wouldn't believe were true, I wouldn't believe them myself if not for having witnessed many of them first hand.

The "history and foreign intervention" myth needs to be put to a rest. It's 2022 now, the state of many poor and undeveloped countries is a direct consequence of the people that live there, no one else is to blame for that, nobody.

The fundamental factor that undermines the Chamberlain meme is nuclear weapons. If Britain, Russia and Germany (hey, why not Poland too?) had ballistic nukes in 1938, Germany would not have invaded Poland or Russia, or launched attacks on Britain.

This dynamic has had a fundamental effect on the course of military conflict ever since the end of WWII. India and Pakistan, for example, would likely have engaged in massive WWII-era tank battles over Kashmir without the threat of nuclear escalation holding them back. Israel's nuclear weapons have dissuaded the other regional powers from launching more wars on Israel. North Korea ensured it won't be regime-changed by building nuclear weapons. Also, if Iraq and Libya had possessed nuclear weapons, the US / NATO wouldn't have overthrown those governments, and they'd still be around in their previous form.

This has resulted in an era of covert wars, or wars of superpowers against relatively defenseless entities, which often turned into proxy wars (Vietnam being one example, Syria being another, and now Ukraine being the latest example).

Clear evidence of recombination across the whole region and not just mutations to manipulate the cut site.

My understanding is that that attacker wasn't using bath salts, and that the connection to bath salts was all speculation.

Also, I think bath salts is usually synthetic cathinones, i.e. functional analogues of khat, and not derivatives of meth, cocaine, ecstasy, or pcp.

Really? I don't know that this was ever guaranteed, and post-COVID it's definitely not. The ones I've seen are paltry compared to 10 years ago.
:has() is my most anticipated as well. it has the biggest potential to not only simplify our html (e.g., divitis) but also remove the need for js compensations in many content-oriented sites. come on firefox, let's get :has() across the finish line!

container queries are also neat, but still rely on having a wrapper container, which isn't ideal--why can't i style the component itself based on its own calculated height/width rather than having to involve a parent element?

i'm still waiting for chrome to implement subgrid, which will simplify any kind of card-type layout.

i also wish we had native "mixins" (@apply had this potential, but it was removed from the spec), so we could have a bundle of styles we could inject into different declarations as a group. then you could have different sets of styles in orthogonal groups (layout, spacing, border, text, inline) that you could apply in any combination. this is especially useful if you want to style a base html element a certain way and then also have a utility class with the same style later in the stylesheet (with maybe a slight tweak) that can be applied to more than just that type of element (like <div>s, <article>s, and <section>s).

edit: oh, and lch/oklch for more perceptually uniform and expanded colorspaces, combined with the new color functions (e.g., color-mix) is exciting too.
About half my personal (private, in my own home LAN) sites use self-signed certs that Chrome flat out won't accept. I have to type the magic key sequence to bypass the error. I do wish we could come up with something better for this kind of use case, then having to set up letsencrypt on my public domain and issue a wildcard cert to use with RFC1918 web sites.

> The more accurate (realpolitik) version is Bush said the no new taxes quip, and Democrats subsequently laser-focused on making him (slightly) raise taxes, showing he is a "liar".

These days I think a Republican president in the same position would be a lot more likely to refuse to sign it, even it if meant shutting down the government. But politicians (and voters) really were much less divided back then compared to today.

> My take away is to learn not to promise overly optimistic outcomes when your political rivals have a significant stake in seeing you either be a success or a failure.

Over-promising is the bread and butter of campaign rhetoric; candidates do it all the time (certainly in US presidential elections at least). If it was really that much of a problem in practice, you'd see more election winners who hadn't previously promised all kinds of things they have no chance of delivering.

So it’s a clustering algorithm that just clusters photos with like features together.

Let’s say it was done without any kind of special face recognition but was done purely by some funky nearest neighbor algorithm in high dimensional space. Would you still object?

The end result is the same, grouping things by commonality on different axes, one of them being faces. If the underlying algorithm didn’t even know what faces were, would it may a difference?

Because there is a functional executable symbolic algebra implementation of such Hilbert spaces and their practical representations (and qubit applications) that's approachable because it's not ambiguous MathTeX without automated tests and test assertions.

Because it's easier to learn math things by preparing a notebook with MathTex and/or SymPy expressions with a MathTeX representation and then make test assertions about the symbolic expression and/or `assert np.allclose()` with real valued parameters after symbolic construction and derivation
Recently, I accidentally spent $100 on tickets that should've cost $40 because I didn't realize ticketmaster was only reselling tickets, they weren't selling originals. No indication cheaper original tickets were available directly from the venue. Ticketmaster made it look sold out.

>In your case, "used to be a software engineer" is already going to put you at a massive disadvantage relative to all of the experienced engineers who were recently forced into the job market by layoffs.

No doubt. Luckily, I did actually do some job searching for dev jobs from March - May this year, and I did get interviews, etc., so hopefully the situation for me isn't that dire so long as I can perform.

Whether my doing a startup while employed at my last job is seen as a negative is going to be really up to them, but all I can do is assure them I am not continuing. Luckily, this has made me a competent dev again.

The honest truth is I would feel pretty happy to be free of both the biglaw job and the startup (I believe in the idea, but it's difficult, especially with another full-time job, Jesus it's getting unsustainable), and would love to just focus on being a software engineer again, and would have a level of gratitude for the job that would outstrip most other candidates. But they have nothing to go off of as to all that aside from my word.
Quantum computers are easy to explain in CI as well: they simply exploit certain numerical properties of complex-valued probabilities (unlike the real-valued probabilities of classical probabilistic Turing machines).

That's what it feels like when you're at the bottom of the org chart

But I've worked in a few large businesses that had a lot of people doing work on the front lines. It ends up being more like 10% of the company in management. Most of our time was spent rushing to keep the front-line workers happy.

When jobs are relatively interchangeable (e.g. a warehouse worker can quit their job today and start at a new warehouse tomorrow) you actually have to work really, really hard to avoid upsetting those front line employees. I worked through some convoluted business/engineering problems just to avoid making front-line workers the least bit troubled in their jobs. I know this is polar opposite of the stereotype, but it's especially true in tight hiring markets like the one we're currently in.

That’s about bizarre NY political circus, not fare evasion or enforcement. DA’s don’t give a shit about city budgets - they don’t work for the city or state.

MTA is a public authority with a board controlled by the governor - the mayor of NYC has limited influence over the subways and bridges, but the NYPD (formerly transit police) are the main enforcement. There was an infamous rivalry between the two officials and sending in state police, etc was part of the show.

Sure, you push the failure into the processes, and most OSes I've used do this. Thus (to use unix terminology) sbrk and fork() fail and it's the program's responsibility to handle that, gracefully or not as it wishes. You also degrade more slowly via paging.

You shouldn't get to the point where a perfectly innocent process is killed to reclaim memory. A process can die, or even (in some cases) recover cleanly from running out of memory -- that should be the process's choice.
…That's the entire point of abstraction.

I'm guessing you aren't writing binary in your day to day work, are you? I'm fairly certain whichever language you're working with is more featureful and ergonomic than working directly in binary.

Similarly, Elm has a different surface area from JavaScript, and yet JavaScript is the compilation target.

CSS doesn't need to be featureful to be a compilation target.
