I somewhat answered your points with my two other answers in the thread, if you want to look them up first. I've also seen the video in the past. I've known Zeihan since 2016-2017(?) when Caspian Report started citing him.

Trying not to repeat myself, I will go with an example.

Intersperced with what looks like sound analysis, Zeihan often injects his own biases and hopes for a better, American, future. One telling example is his treatment of China -- about to collapse in a decade, and has been for the past seven years for Zeihan. I will wait. Same with some of his figures. He often repeats that Chinese demographic figures are overstated by a hundred millions (most likely girls), says him. It may not be a rabbit out of a hat, but it is unsourced or badly sourced or simply his opinion depending on the day. The excuse here is that the Chinese government is unreliable. Definitely. But it does not warrant such geopolical hand-slamming-the-table assertions. This is why, when it's being broadcast up to the highest echelons of the US government, I am not very happy with Zeihan and people who derive their geopolitical opinions mostly from him.
Wasn't aware of the leap hour proposal
Perhaps they should use AI. It seems to me we should be able to solve this problem long before we have full self driving cars.
This should have been called Python 4 if they are removing this many things in a breaking fashion.

Is the disaster of the python 2->3 rollout preventing them from doing so?

Either way, doesnt effect me, python 2.7 forever.
> Well, they would, if they knew which epoch they were in, which isn't transmitted by the satellites

Realistically that is only a problem for devices not yet supporting the 13 bit week field or if we still use GPS in 150 years and even then heuristics could solve this problem unless devices exist that without software updates will live for longer than ~100 years.
No really, because it's easy to point to many useful applications of AI, microservices, docker, SSR, SPA, react, GraphQL, etc. Even crypto. On the other hand, web3 applications virtually don't exist, so it's quite something to pretend that your application should be web3 as many now do.
I wouldn't really worry about people with a college degree. At one point or another you remember you classes on distributed systems and you realize the entire space is bullshit. I agree we'll see bootcamp grads and other people from non-traditional backgrounds get burned but it also gives them opportunities that wouldn't exist otherwise, so I'm not sure it's a net negative overall.

The much bigger issue lies within politicians, the media and the general public who still believe we should let the scams happen for the sake of innovation, despite zero evidence thereof. Sadly I think we need a few more catastrophic events like FTX before people understand there's nothing to salvage.
When I left SV in 2010 I estimate 5% of my professional/social circle was on some variety of non-approved stimulant use. From the people I know still there it’s upwards of 20% in many companies now, especially in the sketchier startups (eg crypto).

When I started working again in Germany ca 2015 I would say usage was negligible. Today it is… around 5%. I’m pretty worried I’m watching history repeat itself.
No worries. I am glad to answer your questions.

First of all, I'm also concerned by legionella growth. However all the sources I can find suggests that at a legionella run above 60 degrees celsius once a week should be enough to kill all bacteria. So that's what I'm doing.

My sensor installation was extremely easy. My warm water heater is in fact a barrel within a barrel. And some insulation material between those barrels. If it would only be metal, you lose too much heat. In the outside barrel (excuse me for lack of a better term) there was an analogue thermometer. This thermometer has a metal back so it makes direct contact with the inside barrel. I just pulled this one out and replaced it with a DS18B20 probe. Again metal against metal, so maximum contact.

Finally I have calibrated the sensor by running it with hot water at the tap and measuring the temperature both there and on the warm water heater (with 2 DS18B20). I've done this for several temperatures with intervals of 10 degrees. I've ignored possible sensor deviations. Finally I used Excel's INTERCEPT and SLOPE functions on the range to calculate the value needed for a linear equation. I have used the formula:

boiler_temperature * SLOPE + INTERCEPT

My math is probably far from perfect and I might revisit it one day. But it works for me currently. I also visualized the measurement results with my calculations and they seem to be pretty accurate. Especially when accounting for missing measurements.

I've also added my personal page to the 'About me' on here, and I have the same Reddit username if you want to DM me there.

Notion will not have offline mode. Can someone advise them something?
Sure, just put something like `wxPython < 4.2.0` into your `requirements.txt`. https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/requirements-file-fo...
> On Windows and Linux, applications can have no window open by installing a background service (ugh) or hide to status bar, but application need to explicitly implement the behavior. On macOS, this is the expected behavior.

Yeah, but the number of apps which require this behavior is far less than those which don't. Hence in my view, not a good reason to default to it.
And yet they redesigned preview and hid the damn icon. You can still get the drag thing sometimes, but every time I struggle to find what to drag... is it the title text or just next to it? Sometimes it doesn't work with anything, did I forget where to drag from or does it not work from this file? Who knows, it's very frustrating.
Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but 1.0 was all about people making the content. Or at least promising content with under construction GIFs. Everyone had a guestbook on their page. Some people even had forums and/or a blog. Everything/Nothing (E/N) pages were all the rage.
The longtermism as thought of by Bostrom etc is a view that (potential) future lives are as valuable as lives now.

Part of the danger is the name. I support long term thinking! I love things like the Long Now project! But this specific viewpoint is very wrong.
The thing is that languages like C++ or Rust has the potential to become something even slower than Python if you don’t know what you’re doing. For example, (the example is C++ but you can say the same thing about Rust):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9378500/why-is-splitting...

Same with smart pointers: Languages like Java and C# have highly tuned garbage collectors that can be faster than reference counting in most situations. The rationale mostly deployed for using RC isn’t simply just raw performance (it can be slower because of the refcount read/write for every dereference), but predictable performance (you don’t need to worry about GC lag spikes, which is important for real-time applications. But even that advantage seems to be disputed.)

Another example of fraud at scale. Just like web3/crypto and, well, the current GOP Republican party: nothing but claims, obscure references to power, and personalities.
While not all companies are as pervasively fucked up as the article claims, all companies do have problems, and these problems typically correlate to the stage a company is in. There's a great book on this which is older than I am called Managing Corporate Lifecycles. What's interesting with books about people is that they age much better than books about technology. Technology changes rapidly, but groups of people trying to accomplish something go through surprisingly predictable phases, regardless of the time period. If you like the title of the article but were disappointed by the content, I would highly recommend checking out the book I mentioned.
When I go back to my old map/zip/method-chaining Rust code from a year or two ago, I regret doing so and wish I had written code as imperative sequential operations (looping over numeric ranges and container items, branching, and matching) like I write and understand today.
I think quite a few people caught omicron and didn't bother getting it confirmed. You have to go out into a public space, where you're presumably possibly spreading it, and get the more advanced test, even after you've already done the regular Bürgertest. Additionally, during the omicron wave the exemption from restrictions one would get for a confirmed case only lasted for a number of months, making it not worth it for many people. I caught it and then had to get boosted again so I could be with my wife during the birth of our child. The regulations around this are luckily more lax in NRW, and there were (are?) other places in Germany where the father would not be allowed in the delivery room even with an up-to-date booster. Quite awful, in my opinion.
I've always been curious about building a sports betting process / model as a hobby. Any suggested reading?
> Take, for example, native iOS development. For any dev, that involves regular bouts of multi-day configuration hell. Xcode is a huge beast and cryptic for beginners. Add in multiple third party libraries like firebase and it's a tossup which is harder, native or RN.

Hard disagree here, to me this is one of the parts of native iOS development that is far, far better than web development. The web makes up for this with other strengths, but there is no way they're even comparable setup wise.
At this point, web3 is becoming strongly associated with high-profile scams, many of them likely criminal. It's also associated with people who won't stop talking about how the blockchain will make your teeth whiter, or something equally unlikely.

Blockchains are just decentralized Merkle trees. Merkle trees are a cool trick (look at git!). But the cost of decentralizing them, Bitcoin-style, has been massive carbon emissions. And the gain from decentralizing them? It's usually pretty tiny. I mean, I guess zero-trust decentralization makes it impossible to recover your coins if they're stolen or lost by an exchange, but that doesn't exactly seem like a huge advantage. /s

In most of the financial blockchain pitches I've heard, you could replace proof-of-work via a time-stamping service run by a trusted clearing house. Just have someone like DTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depository_Trust_Company keep track of the HEAD of git repository, and you'd be 95% of the way there. They already handle 100s of trillions of dollars of transactions a year with much less risk and drama than the average crypto exchange.
> You could not turn off indexing for some/ all folders in BeOS only for an entire filesystem (and if you do a bunch of stuff doesn't work)

That's true but you still did have some control over the indexing as you could choose what attributes to index or not in the first place.
Not saying I disagree with your concerns.

But didn't Banksy say something similar about young artists being funneled into the for-profit corporate propaganda machine, trading their art skills and unique perspective (and expression of their interpretations) of the world at large, for a corporate paycheck?

“The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”

Seems like every generation will need to battle with selling out, no matter the industry or era. But that being said, the web3 stuff feels pointedly scammier than even mobile/ social (which critics skewered even as it was burgeoning/ proliferating when it did, and people still rightfully criticize it today).

I also made tens of dollars a month with https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd for the first few months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The good thing is that usually you just keep growing from this. Now it’s making $1k per month, mostly because of sharing it with the world and implementing recurrent annoyances shared by users.

It’s important to have a way for users to contact you. I love Formspark.io for that, just slap a contact form on the app website and emails will start coming.
Bill Gates' effective charitable giving should be commended.

Because the outcome of arguing against Bill giving charitably is Bill not giving charitably, not Bill not engaging in predatory business practices. Microsoft was cheating competitors and pursuing lock-in long before Bill founded the Gates Foundation.

Every Indian history textbook has had detailed overviews of the indus valley civilization ever since my parents were in school. (they’re in their late 60s).

I think entire generations of Indians (and presumably Pakistanis) know of this city / civilization.

Hardly “lost”, if lost means people haven’t heard of it.
Sounds acceptable to me.
There was a similar case in the UK where Hoover gave away free flights for purchasing a relatively cheap hoover.

“The Hoover free flights promotion was a marketing promotion run by the British division of the Hoover Company in late 1992. The promotion, aiming to boost sales during the global recession of the early 1990s, offered two complimentary round-trip plane tickets to the United States, worth about £600, to any customer purchasing at least £100 in Hoover products.” [1]

The position that the virtue of SBF's actions are irrelevant, and he should be judged better than all of us because he could afford to give more money to give away to good outcomes sounds exactly like "buying indulgences" to me.

Especially in Scott Aaronson's phrasing where it's the SBF's gross donation spend being ahead of all of ours that we should be impressed by, not the net impact of his actions (which I find difficult to believe is positive even on pure utilitarian grounds, given that he's not exactly inspiring others to "earn to give" right now, he's shrunk the world's balance sheet and I consider some of his [notionally] philanthropic spend pretty dubious)
> It isn't the Stratfor origin

Is there something wrong with Stratfor’s analyses? Are there better intelligence outfits? I have long been disappointed at news organizations and their focus on advertisers over the needs of subscribers/readers. Are there useful paid intelligence services?
So currently my understanding is that web2 tech doesn't scam people and everyone trusts. Web3 are the people that do scam people, using tech that nobody trusts.

The 1st booster was recommended to everyone, further boosters only to older population. In US (with the exception of Florida), further boosters are still recommended to 5+ (five year olds and up), while that's no longer the case in lots of countries. Or, you are implying the cited above sources were for the 1st booster as well and thus they haven't changed their minds?
Not having a warranty is, frankly, also a part of it being really your phone.

"I want to be allowed to do whatever I want, but if I do something I regret, I get a refund" is not a coherent position to take.

I noticed that too. Which makes me see the project as more of a giant cruise ship than a floating EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow).

A giant cruise ship isn't very exciting. Whereas, a floating city where the government employees get to live the same quality of life as the residents would be something interesting.

The USA being wealthy seems like a weird idea from a lot of the USA territory.

See : MS, LA, AL and consort.

At some point you can’t ignore the division between the map and the territory.

At best the USA is a country, with rich people in it.

As opposed to say, Switzerland, a rich country.
>Multiple windows within one app is badly supported. Finder window closing behaves different to everything - alt-tabbing to it rarely brings anything to the fore.

How so? Finder seems to behave the same way as other multi-window apps, if you cmd-tab to it and a window is open, it will appear, and if there isn't the app will focus and you can press cmd-t to open a new window. This is consistent and in line with how macos deals with apps vs windows/documents in every app.

Code rots.
For example, Haskell is optimized for developer efficiency. You can get a lot done, have a high degree of confidence that it runs reasonably without having to do too much thinking or ass-covering. We move fast & need things to be reliable. Rather than hand optimizing Doom 2 for ___.
If you're really objectionable, no one will listen to you.

Sounds more like a feature than a bug to me. And still not centralised.

This is not fascist.

Most countries are made in a way to not allow parts of their territory to secede, even if they "want to do it". Just look what happens in Spain with Catalonia, what would probably happen in Scotland, Texas or California. This is not fascist.

But, you are ignoring the fact that Crimea did not decide to secede but that Russian soldiers (without insignia) became little green men, they forced Ukrainian army to surrender their weapons and leave Crimea. After that Russia organized "a referendum" where Crimea voted to join.

How well these referendums work we can see in Kherson.
Web 3.0 (Semantic Web) already failed a decade ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0

It's geopolitics for the masses or geopolitics for people who don't understand geopolitics and foreign powers. Of course it's extremely simplified but there isn't any indication that people with actual power listen to this.

Also not that what he says is even fundamentally wrong. He's a political commentator like any other, only his focus is global politics while the majority of political commentators work on national news. And his audience is mainly random Twitter accounts anyway.

There isn't an issue with people saying their opinion, that's called free speech. The problem is more that we live in an increasingly globalized world where nevertheless the average person has no idea about how socities outside of their bubble work. That isn't Zeihan's fault, if anything he helps getting people to think about these issues, however provocative or crude his takes may be. The issue lies with those people and groups that want to keep the populace dumb, that want them to look at the past instead of the present and future. Those who do not want you to travel and experience other cultures and political systems for yourself. Those who want the average person to regress to a state where they know nothing about what goes on in other parts of the world - all in their little bubble and isolated as commoners used to be. There are elites working towards this not just in authoritarian states but in democracies too.

IMO a monotonic time source should never ever adjust to leap seconds, it's just stupid. GPS time does this right, and IMO NTP time does this wrong.

Operating systems that adjust the computer's hardware clock on leap seconds (all of them?), are also wrong.

It's not like NTP time is adjusted by 24*60*60 on any leap day. So why on leap seconds?

WSL was a nightmare for me too. Hacks piled on top of other hacks, required to make Linux CLI work on Windows but it's just that, a hacky way to use Linux.

Sometimes the system broke, sometimes the filesystem limitations and the performance was always bad, especially with anything involving a large number of files. It was just an awful experience all around. I think anybody who uses WSL over real Linux is only doing it because they either do not want to learn something better & different or they have hardware issues with Linux.

So glad I moved to a real installation after wasting a whole month on WSL. Couldn't be any happier.
