> AFAI can tell, the effect of tech overall is to cut some jobs while making the remaining ones harder and more stressful, while increasing so-called context switching.

100% agree.

The Office suite is, in some ways, the worst thing that happened to corporations. Thanks to computers, everyone can now easily write a report, fill in a spreadsheet, or manage their meetings. Which means that everyone now has to write reports, fill in spreadsheets and manage their calendars. This used to be a separate job. You had people specializing in those tasks, and they were focused and efficient at it. Now, everyone does it on their own, and not only we suck at this, it's also distracting us from the "main" job we're supposed to be doing.

The older I get, the more I feel computer revolution was in big part a bait-and-switch.

React without a framework only gives you a basic UI composition layer and some simple state management and inheritance tools.

With a proper framework it becomes vastly better. It's probably a philosophical thing too. You can make your own Frankenstein site with a bunch of a separate libs or you can go with an elegantly configured and single vendor supported bolts included framework.

The defining quality of a hypothetical Metaverse is its immersiveness. The existence of multiplayer games, social media apps and the internet in general does not by itself qualify until it moves beyond flat screens and mouse clicks and successfully incorporates AR/VR/mixed reality and a slew of other emerging tech in the area.
A man can dream, can't he?
Very much disagree. Think about Markdown readmes. It's great, and very useful, that when looking through a git repo that I can just look at the readme in a shell or text editor, and also as important, diffs when changing a markdown file are a lot cleaner/easier to understand. Simultaneously, it's also great that I get a nice formatted readme page when I'm browsing a GitHub repo, for example.

As the sibling commenter said, if all you care about is the output why wouldn't you just write it in Word?
Yeah, I recently started to use KDE Plasma with Fedora (after Gnome left a sour taste), and the amount of customizations it allows is mind-blowing. This may be common knowledge, but as a newcomer to KDE, these very precise controls are quite a fresh breath from OSs like Win10/11 and Mac OS.

Reminded me of those Windows 98 shell customizations. Windows seems to be going backwards when it comes to customizations; there are only a few customizations allowed in Windows 11 now.
"Reinfections can give worse odds each time."

Not necessarily worse, but there is cumulative damage.

In the UK, about 7% of COVID cases that get medical attention are now re-infections. That number increases with time; it was only 4% last February. Immunity from getting COVID is time-limited and not that long. One study said "time between reinfections ranged from 90 to 650 days, with the average being 343 days".

Over a decade, this might gradually debilitate most of the population.
The real answer is it only makes for good entertainment once, so it gets banned immediately.

A chunk of the 87k are simply replacement for old IRS staff retiring or quitting. And is it really an "expansion" when the IRS historically has had that amount of staff, got intentionally bled dry by Republican presidents to prevent the IRS from investigating their donors and friends, and is now only returning to the prior norm (and even then, likely not enough to actually fulfill the duties)?
If you control the media like China does, you can fake every metric if you want. In any place with a free press, economists could easily approximate GDP and report it if it were fake.
Reminds me of another example of video-game inspired tactics:

Just before he reached the end zone, with 17 seconds remaining, Stokley cut right at 90 degrees and ran across the field. Six seconds drained off the clock before, at last, he meandered across the goal line to score the winning touchdown. For certain football fans, the excitement of a last-minute comeback now commingled with the shock of the familiar: It's hard to think of a better example of a professional athlete doing something so obviously inspired by the tactics of videogame football. When I caught up with Stokley by telephone a few weeks later, I asked him point-blank: "Is that something out of a videogame?" "It definitely is," Stokley said. "I think everybody who's played those games has done that" — run around the field for a while at the end of the game to shave a few precious seconds off the clock. Stokley said he had performed that maneuver in a videogame "probably hundreds of times" before doing it in a real NFL game.

The problem is that people make the decision about what to use as inexpert users and that pretty GUI with all the space and Next buttons looks so easy to use to them. By the time they realize they didn’t actually want it, it’s too late. This is the reason people stick with things like Excel, it’s easy to transition up the sophistication ladder.
Intentional misgendering of an individual could be sexual harassment; it is certainly not a form of "conservative speech" regardless of beliefs. However, the belief that there only two genders is not only not banned by Twitter but is, in fact, widely disseminated.

This is a one off thing. NASCAR is 100% gonna rule it out. And getting the car chewed up is pretty routine in NASCAR. I mean, it's not good to do it unnecessarily but this won't really raise eyebrows. The car was still driving and tracking fine afterwards, so it's probably just mangled body work.

The "mathematically balanced" description seems to be selling itself short actually. If you check the actual description, it says "By using the perceptually uniform colour space Oklab, I was able to achieve perceptually uniform hue differences between each of the accent colours, ensuring maximum differentiability between highlighted words. Constant chroma ensures none of them stand out from or recede into the page more than others."

Doing the balancing in Oklab specifically addresses your point about perception in our eyes.

Democracy is incompatible with freedom. As soon as enough people decide I should die or lose my possessions or do some other thing I don't want to do, I am forced against my will with violence.

So we are stuck relying on the intelligence and wisdom and foresight of the masses. No wonder we're screwed.
Yep, 100G switches are common nowadays since the cost has come down so much, and you can easily carve a port to 4x10G, 4x25G, and 40G. In financial trading you tend to avoid switches with huge buffer as that comes to a huge cost in latency. For example, 2 megabytes of buffer is 1.68ms of latency on a 10G switch which is an eon in trading. Most opt for cut-through switches with shallow buffers measured in 100s of nanoseconds. If you want to get really crazy there are L1 switches that can do 5ns.
Thanks for suggesting this one; I missed it but it looks great. Trying it out now!
They're both useful, for different purposes.

I recommend being clear about which definition is used, rather than trying to enforce one meaning should always be used.
> Who exactly thinks GDP should measure our courage, wisdom, and learning?

If you haven’t encountered this attitude, so much the better for you. But it isn’t a straw man. It isn’t so much they believe that GDP should measure those things, but that economic metrics are more important than any other concerns.
> It's part of the reason every valuable downtown is now coffee shops, banks, and lawyer's offices, nothing else can pay the rent (best use? probably from a money perspective, not from any other).

The problem is now that there are no actual shops left because they can rent, community centers end up dead in a vicious cycle as when large traffic attractors leave, the smaller shops that would catch random passersby don't have passersby any more.

To make it worse, city governments usually don't have any way (e.g. via zoning) to regulate what precise kind of commercial activity is allowed in a property - the result is what you describe.
Great debunking. I'm from Germany and I have never experienced a blackout since the early 90s.

The facts about the energy transition are true too. But also to mention is that due to strong fossil industry lobbying and some conservative and/or neo-liberal politicians it was slowed down a lot. Mostly these get their legitimation and votes with the same kind of misinformation as mentioned in the article. FUD and FLICC often work on people that are not willing to make their homework; and sadly not many are. Even academics are not immune.
You can do this kind of thing with OpenSSL, but it's... arcane.
1 - Layoffs mean either your workload is going up, or you're getting fired.

> GDP is a concrete measure that is difficult to fake

The best counter to that I've ever heard:

"Let's say I pay you $10M to eat a pile of shit, then for kicks you pay me $10M to eat a similar pile of shit.
You know what the end result is? The GDP has increased $20M, and we both have huge shit-eating grins".

The GDP is laughably easy to fake.
That's fine. Elon doesn't want you to work for him.

It has nothing to do with what I think. Another commenter has already posted the definition from the Fed (FRED).

Productivity is not a measure of prices, profitability or anything similar. It’s a measure of output per unit of input.

I considered this first. But I imagine the camber change would ruin the insides of the tires so fast that it wouldn't be worth the wall rolling benefits...

Perhaps a better idea would be some kind of aerodynamic change which would result in a trapped pressure area on the right side when it is close to the wall. Maybe some kind of concave side.
I don't think Perl is really that hard to learn. It does have a few traps for people new to the language though.

Raku on the other hand is easy to learn. Of course it is so easy to learn that knowing another language, any other language, can make it more difficult to fully grasp. That is because Raku is strangely consistent.

Most languages have a set of syntaxes for different actions. Raku has a set of features, and the syntax mostly just falls out from that.

When someone who knows another language tries to learn Raku they naturally translate what they already know to Raku features. That will only get you a surface level understanding of the language. No other language is really comparable.

Raku also has a new view of regexes. In Raku a regex is just a DSL for matching text. So rather than bolt on feature after feature like other languages have done it allows you to embed regular Raku code for situations where that is easier. You can also combine them using grammars (a type of class) to get a full parser out of several parts.

In fact the grammar feature in Raku is the only one that is powerful enough to parse Raku easily. Part of that has to do with the ability to mutate the language.

It has been said that the best way to solve a programming problem is to create a language in which solving the problem is easy. Raku, using that ability, allows you to do that easily.

The primary measure should be the physical health of the humanstock. If your "line goes up" but you have obese, mentally fragile, neurotic people on your hands, you're doing something wrong. Many things will follow naturally once you make peak physical health the top goal.

Here's a good explanation about why gdp is important.

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/four-reasons-why-gdp-is-a-...

It is only one measure of success, but it is not misleading. You can just use it and 6 other measures. Then if infant mortality goes way up you can still say let's figure out how to manage that and if it costs some gdp, that's fine. In fact real policy is saying we should spend more of that gdp on prenatal care for example. Doing that will neither make gdp go up or down.

And it's unclear who they're even talking about here. In the democracies politicians hardly talk about it at all. It's usually healthcare, some group is bad, or something should be regulated differently (like energy).

Here's even more depth:

> "Wasteful consooomerism has an extremely large GDP."

I would add that GDP is a measure of how fast a country is using up the finite resources of the planet, racing to kill us all.
I would fire the key execs also, if it appears they conspired to hide evidence from the court, frustrate discovery, and used fraudulent metrics.

It's easier for me to put up boundaries / say "no" to others (even if they're great ideas! And if I like the person!) over Slack than in person. I'm much more focused now than I used to be.

It's also changed how/when I eat — I realized I like eating a small meal around noon then something else around 2-3pm, but that's really hard when I have to slog to work and have meetings all day, so you eat early, against my body's will.

tl;dr: I think I get to manage my energy levels better (boundaries, when I eat) when I'm WFH, which means I'm getting more done w/ fewer hours.
But sirs, we like to travel with it on its side in the trailer so we can transport it more easily.

I'm torn on this. It's possible he would be very receptive and appreciate the frank conversation. It's also possible he will wonder where I get the gall to suggest to him, in however a constructive or trying-to-help way, that maybe he doesn't actually want to be CTO anymore and should consider giving up his role. He's not the type to freak out on me or anything like that, but it could sour the good relationship we have.

For one, stop making up stuff like the above. Are you in the attackers head? No? Then be responsible and make a claim like that. Otherwise, I’m glad there’s no fact gestapo to stop you from running your fingers; keep typing; be as irresponsible as you’d like; make the mistakes everyone makes; eventually realize people are and must be responsible for their own actions no matter what people say (in both senses).
That is the subject of an ongoing US DOJ and Congress investigations. In case you missed the public hearings (where, for example, DOJ officials testified they were told by the former President to declare the 2020 election fraudulent even though they informed him it wasn't; this is known as a "self-coup"), the House Select Committee is expected to publish its findings in a final report by the end of this year; criminal indictments, if any (although we don't know yet if Mr Trump will be charged with insurrection), would likely be served within a year.

I think part of the issue is that it had its reputation destroyed destroyed almost as quickly as it was built. It was fascinating to watch it unfold.

I do not believe for one second that the person selected for this interview was a good representative for the cause ( although I am sure there are some goofballs, who can't seem to present a coherent case even on hostile territory that is Fox News ). I did not follow story that closely, but I believe the person that took the interview got serious blowback from its reddit friends.

The sad thing is a lot of people will form their entire opinion of it based on this one interview. To me it is OWS all over again ( I do not count BLM as that since it had Democrat political machine, and later business machine, backing ).
