> You need to spend some time with a person for at least couple of hours a day for about half a year to become friends

The only place this would happen for me is work. But that's no longer possible because all my coworkers at my new job are WFH.

It happened in school and college, after that it's only ever happened at work that I spend "a couple of hours a day for about half a year" with anyone.

Even if joined some kind of club, that would be either a couple of hours a month or at best, a couple of hours a week, not a couple of hours a day.
Which is honestly a problem, they need to improve pixels availability.

I hate having to jump through hoops just to buy a pixel.
Of course.

It's just that sometimes, the easiest and least confrontational way to stop a treatment with serious side effects is to claim that the treatment is no longer needed.

Studies should find ways to control for such problems.

Ugh, I read a few days ago that per capita crime is lower in cities. Tried to find numbers about it and you are correct. Kinda concerning that you got a bunch of downvotes for being correct and I got upvotes despite being wrong.
I think the real issue is that "collectivist" and "individualist" are very crude terms that attempt to summarize a whole litany of cultural nuances.

My son just started 2nd grade here in Japan after being born and raised in the US (spouse is Japanese). It's really clear that here, children are socialized to think of the group to which they belong before themselves when contemplating their actions. Stated differently, people are socialized to identify strongly with the groups to which they belong.

Does this mean the society is "collectivist"? I don't really know. I do observe that many of the social activities involved in group cohesion here are viewed as somewhat burdensome obligations. I believe it was de Tocqueville who first observed the seemingly novel and unique way in which Americans viewed social association:

"When citizens can associate only in certain cases, they regard association as a rare and singular process, and they hardly think of it.

When you allow them to associate freely in everything, they end up seeing in association the universal and, so to speak, unique means that men can use to attain the various ends that they propose. Each new need immediately awakens the idea of association. The art of association then becomes, as I said above, the mother science; everyone studies it and applies it."

I go work at a coffee shop and coworking spaces and have made more friends then going into an office and seeing the same 10 people everyday.

How could you extrapolate that seeing the same office people everyday all day is good for.yiur social life.
Right on, this is the spirit. Committing yourself to a goal, like learning piano or not missing a single day at the gym is a great “gamification” motivation. That doesn’t mean you have to miss a funeral or have a complete mental breakdown.

And running more often. 50GB(?) at a time can back up any filesystem.

Not to mention, there is another option which perhaps better matches this use case.

And author seems to be using the zfs quota property when the refquota property might better account for descendants and perhaps make a better initial calculation of what free space is available easier?

ZFS is great but absolutely has tradeoffs. It makes really good choices. Maybe this is one?

For me, I'm not interested in Vim's modal editing. But I use Neovim daily (mostly in insert mode like a noob). The reason for this is that Neovim blows every other text editor out of the water in two areas: time to launch, and multi-language syntax highlighting.

If I'm in the command line and I want to edit a text file, VS Code takes 4 seconds. Neovim takes 400ms. I installed vim-polyglot and it has syntax highlighting for even weird config files. I don't understand why no one is competitive with Vim by these metrics.
I get that the engine is open source, but CGI-bin is a standard interface while Cloudflare Pages is a service.

In practice, no one is running workerd at their VMs, so it seems weird for me to compare the two.

Cloudflare Pages is better than [insert your favorite hosting service] would make more sense. Still, very cool tech.
The idea for your site is great. A quick suggestion: if you want everyone to immediately understand and sympathize with your cause, then use the tools that everyone knows in your examples. Using some long exa incantation risks alienating people that don't care about things like the latest trendy grep alternative. Just use: `ls -d .*` or `ls -a`
“I prefer working in the office with my team in-person.” Seems pretty clear to me he didn’t want to do it solo.
Agree very much. Hokkien is 65 million people's language, more than Italy's population.

There are Hokkien-speaking people in Hong Kong and China's Guangdong province. They write Hokkien in Chinese characters mixed with pinyin for these without a corresponding character.
Sounds nice. Though not as nice as collaborating with co-workers.

Just a random sample from my home directory right now on a random dev server: .ssh, .gnupg, .vscode-server, .zshrc, .ipython, snap, .antigen, .pki, .profile, .python_history, and there's much more.

I don't know what's the situation with desktop linux, may it's better, maybe it's worse, but even on a headless dev server it's already a lost cause. Trying to convince everybody to move to a new standard is a hopeless task, imo, best to move on.
But is there a significant difference between how much support very young (pre-adult) people and how much support elderly (post-retirement) people need? At some point during rapid population growth there were a lot of the former, and we managed OK. Now there's a lot of the latter, and not so many of the former.

As it is, many of the costs for elderly people seem to be about medical inventions to (arguably artificially) prolong life. I'd suspect that will become increasingly expensive, to the point that expectations around how much it's reasonable to spend on such treatment may change. As it is, COVID caused quite a significant increase in mortality among elderly populations - it was undoubtedly pretty awful for those directly involved, but society as a whole seems to have adjusted since.
But you expect the next job to be just as meaningless.

So changing does nothing to address your stated problem.
I imagine the homeless numbers of elderly are going to skyrocket over the next few decades because of this.

> WFH is only going to make this worse.

Absolutely. No way we are stripping 8h of daily socialization without any adversal effect on our social lives. I can feel it myself. And no, "finding other places to talk to people" is not a solution, because work time is 50% of my waking hours, and removing that social connection is terrible by itself.
I always immediately dismiss these headlines because people lump feature highlights in the same category as 3rd party banner ads.

I was an ardent JetBrains user for years, and still enjoy their software. But I transitioned fully to NeoVim and there just isn’t anything I had to give up. It took a little more modification but the initial cost resulted in a much faster editing process than with GoLand. I have every single feature I regularly used with GoLand, but my editor is faster to load, consumes less memory, and I can progress at-least-as fast, if not faster by now.

Is this an area where linguistics and the IPA [1] can help? You could translate the spoken language into IPA, and then write a model which translates the IPA into English. Or does the IPA not actually capture all of Hokkien's nuance?

Perhaps the old reasons will do just as well. Hokkien is an interesting case of being involved in a potentially fractious political situation- one can imagine to further distinguish themselves from the Chinese mainland, the people of Taiwan promote the use of Hokkien. Not dissimilar to say bilingual laws in Canada.

After all, the nineteenth century saw the consolidation of national languages and elimination of regional dialects in the name of fostering nationalism, which continued in the twentieth but also saw the revival of languages like Irish or Hebrew for new nationalisms.

China doesn't require a 'goal' to achieve outgrowing the US economy. It's an arithmetical certainty. Sooner or later the trend lines of GDP growth will intersect, and the lower, faster-growing Chinese one will become the one on top.

China is not a 'threat' to the US. It doesn't need a war. It will become 'Number One' anyway. It's the US that has to threaten China to prevent that.

A war would only slow China down in its growth. It's the US that needs a war to slow the Chinese down. The US will start that war, sooner rather than later.

But the US has left its run too late to win.

It kinda depends. For the first year I lived here I didn't know anyone else in the building but one existing friend moved in after me and then the owners corp set up some community events like a gardening club for the shared garden area that help. You do talk to people a bit in the corridors but honestly the vast majority of the time you enter or exit there will be no one in them and you might see a particular person leave at the same time as you once every few months.

Even when I didn't know others in the building. My central location is right next to the main public transport hub which made it super easy for my existing friends to get in, and not worry about how they are getting home after drinking because its a 5 minute walk to the train station.

> Not because I’m an anarchist or iconoclast, but because systems built upon illusions are less stable than systems built upon truths.

be careful with that one. if you dig far enough there may not be enough truths upon which to build something cohesive. if you believe the individual in a secular society already creates illusions for themselves in order to get by (e.g. purpose/meaning), maybe similar illusions are necessary for even the smallest of social systems.
While on a foot patrol in southern Afghanistan, I took a 500lbs SVBIED impact. Went through a wall, woke up on the ground, confused. Black out, wake up on a chopper, confused. Black out. What happened next was a never-ending dream/nightmare loop that lasted a bit under 1mo. I went from dream world to dream world, until I woke up, with too many pipes coming out of too many places. I have the unfortunate experience of knowing what Neo felt like when he woke up from the matrix. It took me a few weeks to re-acclimate to reality, dealt with a lot of anxiety/panic attacks. It turns out that some of the people I met in the dreamworld were real people. That weird afghan lady who would never leave was in fact my wife. The torturer ended up being my cardiac technician, and he wasn't torturing, he was keeping me alive with cardiac massages. There's a lot more. Some of it was made up some of it was real. I woke up next to a picture of the president giving me a medal, and another picture of myself and bob dole. Basically, my brain was trying to survive, and it fished from books I read, movies I've seen, and then the little bits of reality my wounded self could gather. Pretty trippy stuff. The weird part? I remember that month long coma dream like a crystal clear memory. I'm trying to figure out the best way to brain dump this weird story in a sharable format, but you know. Gotta pay the the bills first. Maybe I'll write a book some day

Amazing video thank you. From ~2009 that keeps hammering the unique perspective topic, especially during formation in 1993 and change of focus in 1998. I would be interested to know which of the failed hundreds of competitors had the same “unique perspective”, but maybe just failed because another leg of the company was too weak.

Successful companies have a few core perspectives that they nail with A grades, but they have to get a C grade in all other areas of the business. It can take only one F grade in one topic to make a business fail. The meta-skill of recognising and fixing a critical failing is hard to learn.

Edit: I love Jen-Hsun’s definition of a startup starting about 57:50: a startup is an enterprise that is nearly out of business all the time.
Because in japanese the new word makes no sense. If you’re borrowing or creating new words, it would be nice if they would somewhat sensible and not just be the typical “wow japanese is so mystic language”.

Yeah most places I've contracted will have certain critical portions owned by SMEs that you didn't touch without specifically code reviewing with them even though the repo didn't have any hooks to prevent merging/changing. I hate village knowledge.
> What is the benefit of using Vim proper these days?

Not that much, objectively. Many people enjoy its low resource usage, but most developers use machines perfectly comfortable with VSCode & Jetbrains. There's the startup time, which I don't really see as an issue for other than quick ad hoc file edits. Some people just like to stay in the terminal. It's mostly a matter of individual taste/preference.

The one thing I would point to as a real (if minor) benefit is the UX consistency - since everything is a buffer, keybindings are the same for plugin-enhanced UI elements as they are in regular file buffers. Even though I'm an nvim user, tbh I'd much rather have a true GUI, if they had been better and more consistently designed.

I have used emacs, IntelliJ, VSCode etc in the past (some for lengthy periods). I settled on nvim, not because it's particularly superior (and I'd prefer to ditch the terminal legacy), but just for the sake of settling on one thing I get to know well, and that I'm pretty sure will be around for longer than I will be. I have other things I'd like to spend my attention budget on.

Oh yes

> lack of central authority

This is one thing that really gets my goat. Money is hard to define but one property of money is that is serves as a web of trust. That trust has a source, a central bank.

A fiat currency is as good as the central bank that controls it.

Crypto has no trust, by design. It cannot fit into that space. It cannot replace fiat currency.
Municipalities or other levels of government usually have some amount of distance they can encroach onto properties in conjunction with the right of way for the road. It's quite rare for a utility to put facilities serving anyone other than the property owner on private property.

I would argue Japan and Korea at least maintain a degree of collectivism- in areas such as extended family living arrangements, support for local business and agriculture, and (ostensible) income and educational equality etc, but its actually all window dressing when your economy is thoroughly modernized on a western model. The economy is life and death- the thing that tells young people you have to move to Tokyo and join the rat race. Though in Japan at least I have seen encouraging trends of people opting out.

Although I agree, nothing would make me spend ~2hs daily commuting again. My company's office is 40 minutes by subway + 25 min walking if I choose to walk to the station. It's even worse considering I work as contractor for a software factory (consulting firm, sorry not native english here) so the people I specifically work currently with are not even from my country. Plus I won't ever probably know about them 3 months from now.

I think daily about this issue but working again for a national company would mean earning 50% less of my salary probably... so tough choice.

Any advice or recommendations from other contractors/freelance workers are appreciated.
> It's much harder to use Taiwanese in Taiwan compared to High German in a Pennsylvanian Amish village.

Your example for difficult use is particularly apt in that you’re choosing to focus on specialized technical examples, which often default to international lingua franca anyway, often English.

I doubt that day to day use of Taigi in Taiwanese communities is as rare and difficult as you say. Maybe in highly educated and urbanized Taipei, but have you even been to the southern countryside?
