We use mobx and I think it’s great. The observable / computed model is really familiar from spreadsheets so it’s very easy to reason about code and computations. You always just think about your data in terms of being computed from dependencies without worrying about pushing state though the system.

We have an object graph (updated via web socket subscriptions) and then twist and turn slices of that data on the way up to the components. I hardly think about the fact that mobx is there and instead just think in terms of reshaping data for display.
>I personally receive great happiness from listening to music.

This is a pretty naive understanding of hapiness. It is widley held by philosophers, religions, and even even many (most) uneducated people that happines is happiness in one's state of being, ie. something like contentment. One who is "happy when he listens to music" is generaly said not to be happy. Not even not "truly" happy but just not happy at all. This can be demomstated from an evoltionary, teleological psychological, or even theological perspective.
it shouldn’t be a separate quantity. we should they should be discussed cumulatively at all times.
The Linux CLI is a dominate user interface I use at work, it is also just called bash (well, that’s the default shell anyways). I have never tried an actual Linux desktop at work, web and native Mac applications are still dominate there (besides the CLI).
The question is about writing Lisp code and nothing more

Adoption is not about "writing more code", and if it was than surely Lisp would have a giant head-start being 60+ years old.

A more promising place to start would be understanding why it isn't the most popular currently - I doubt "Emacs isn't multithreaded" is anywhere near the main reason.

You might also want to look into why Lisp-likes (for instance: Clojure) haven't gained more traction.
I’m sort-of fine with the issues. I’m not fine with the increasingly hostile attitude you meet from most of the Linux world if you in the public eye dare ding their precious baby.
>If the FBI messages you and says ‘hey… review this content and see if it’s violating your own policies,’ is that inherently an innocent request? I could see a world where ‘see if it violates your own policies’ is a code for extortion with plausible deniability.

Sounds like "hey, review it and find any half-assed reason to ban it according to your TOS" to me.

Loose and wide reaching TOS makes it hard for bad actors to get around it, but it also makes it easy for moderators to remove anything they don't want while hiding behind TOS

> Should the requests be public unless part of an active investigation, or is that sort of thing too easily gamed?

All moderation should be, and with exact violation breached, not generic "it broke something in our TOS", else there is zero accountability. I'd also say that unless it is outright illegal or abhorrent the original should also be viewable so there can be no doubt the moderation is legit. People will save the spicy tweets to archive or screenshot it anyway so there is no real point completely hiding it.

So basically there's an entire industry needed to support people (and mechanics/shops) who work on cars--including vehicles that pre-date modern computer controls and which are considered user-repairable. But somehow repairing a smartphone or a laptop shouldn't require any knowledge or equipment beyond what the average user possesses.
Today I asked chatGPT what Einstein's favourite food was. It gave a reasonable answer about him liking simple foods. The worrying thing is that I was satisfied with the result. It was plausible. It could well be true. There is a good chance that this kind of AI might provide the right kind of response that a large percentage of the public find convincing enough to not bother with additional research.
Are we talking about chat bots, or their implementations in 2022?
I’d actually argue that the idea that the US tech ecosystem is almost exclusively ultra left leaning is the myth here. You’ve just presented that as some kind of a fact which is in stark contrast to thousands of threads filled with comments demonstrating the opposite.
How about we take the things that are necessary for a functioning life, and make them provided to each person based on a universally understood base tax layer.

> The "flow" that imaginative people love so much has a darker cousin that prevents you from pausing to savor life amid the daily slurry of errands and alarms.

This is a great sentence and I want to see it expanded on. I crave being in that flow state and enjoy what I do but it makes me very irritable to be interrupted and I realize needing this level of focus potentially takes me away from other aspects of life like spending time with my family. I’m wondering if others have dealt with these sorts of feelings. I love what I work on, sometimes to the detriment of other things and difficult for me to zoom out in the way described in the essay.
It's the slightest whiff of a hint of abuse or intimidation but there's no evidence to suggest they ever even threatened retribution for non-compliance. US intelligence agencies have gone after media a handful of times but the courts have been appropriately skeptical of their claims.

> Something as simple as changing the mouse scroll speed requires creating a bash script

Indeed, I never realized there does not seem to be a Ubuntu system setting for adjusting the mouse wheel sensitivity. Apparently, standard solution requires installing „imwheel“.

At this point in my life I have almost lost all faith in people sharing an honest assessment of anything. The Linux is hard trope is really starting to bore me.

I think the 1k true fans approach means going deep instead of wide. And in order to do so you need to really understand what would make people fans of your work.

A mistake many people make is that they mistake low intent interest as a proxy for opportunity. You can’t always ask people what they want. You have to build a thing that intersects with their (often subconscious) needs. This is where scratching an itch you have a deep understanding of is helpful.

Don't listen to this nonsense as it's absolute baloney.

I would ask the experts that design engines and oil rather than a one-off op-ed piece from a news source with a questionable reputation, a history of sensationalism, and zero applicable scientific qualifications.

The primary reason you warm up your engine is because oil is more viscous at cold temperatures. All engine oils have cold flow characteristics and modifiers. It doesn't take a very large temperature rise for oil to thin out and begin filling the various galleries in your engine. Just a a few minutes will absolutely extend the life of your engine and prevent oil starvation on critical components.

As a side note, as your oil ages, the viscosity modifiers break down; so older oil needs more time to flow properly, _especially_ if it's been 'cooked' at high temps from the summer. For your oil changes, try to change it between seasons, or if you do a yearly change, change it in the fall after the summer heat.
Globalization then will continue along the lines of cultural and political alliances. EU is one striking example of globalization, of you take a look from a perspective of 100 or even 50 years ago. Advanced chip will still continue to be made in Korea and (hopefully) Taiwan on machines built in Europe for companies that build products in the US and in Japan.

What is going to dwindle or even cease is cooperation with not-exactly-friendly countries, like, well, China and obviously Russia, and maybe not exactly hostile but culturally remote, like Saudi Arabia.

India and Africa will remain important cultural and economical battlegrounds between the West and China. China is investing a huge lot into African countries, and I suppose the more advanced of them, like Nigeria, will become the new "tigers" with explosive economic growth in the coming 15-25 years, like Korea in 1980s.

I think that transporting proofs "for free" is of less interest since we're talking about formal, and so mechanised, proofs [1], but the matter of writing proofs more naturally could definitely be a selling point. Can you point to some examples of that?

[1]: A computer can formally apply meta-logical transformations as a proof tactic, too. Why not put that into the logic if it can be done formally? To keep it simpler and easier for practitioners to learn. (Some systems, like TLA+, allow you to specify and prove higher order theorems that aren't expressible as formulas in the logic; so while you might not be able to express the general notion of an isomorphism in this way, you can express a theorem that can then be used by the proof assistant to transfer proofs based on isomorphisms with respect to some specific number of operators with some specific arities)
I have some of the original Philips L Prize bulbs from ~2012. They've probably been on an average of eight hours a day for more than a decade now.

Are you aware not using the heater does not affect fuel efficiency in an ICE car? Heaters in ICE cars take the pull existing heat from the engine.

(I'm not aware of how your hybrid is programmed, it may or may not turn the engine on sooner if the heat is on.)

Letting off the gas 100 meters before a stop light and coast that will save gas, but of course it won't be more efficient to brake for the 100 meters before a stop sign, except for regen, as you mention. And is indeed obnoxious for other drivers if you are braking way before a sign.

Hypermiling is a good idea, but it's a trap to to slip into an orthorexia-type mindset about efficiency - imbuing virtue into deprivation. Going to "great lengths" to not turn on your car's heater, in addition to being 100% pointless if your ICE engine is running, is an asshole move if other people are in the car. I think it's worth it to fight the feelings of superiority you allude to in your last sentence.

I say all of this as somebody who thinks 95% of drivers would be best served by a Prius or Leaf.
Assuming you mean a web-based application, then all state via HATEOAS, and CSS or JS in the front-end is strictly a non-essential progressive enhancement.

The inexpensive LED bulbs I recently purchased were 94 lumens per watt. A 30% increase is probably already something you can buy, just a bit more expensive and harder to find.

This most likely is only going to knock the cheapest bulbs out of the market and make it more likely that Home Depot or Walmart puts the decent stuff on the shelf for people to buy without thinking about it.
This isn't new - ethologists have been making similar conclusions about altruism for a long time now, including studies on very young children (which show that it kicks in somewhere around 2-3 years of age).

The catch is that said altruism is rather strongly affected by parochiality, meaning that it's weaker towards the outgroup, and conflict of interests between the ingroup and the outgroup tends to override it.

Well, maybe you don't. I worked with him for a couple of years. Some of the technology I helped develop goes to the International Space Station with some frequency. I won't say I understand him. I can say he is nowhere close to being an idiot. Sometimes people who accomplish great things can and do pass for complete whacko's until everyone is actually able to comprehend what they were trying to accomplish. Landing a rocket is a perfect example of this. The hatred he caught for even daring to suggest this could be done was incredible.

> I'd say look to his actions, but they are all over the place too. He certainly doesn't seem to be taking Twitter in the direction of brining any kind of union between the left and right, unless his plan is to make a common enemy for everyone. Again, I'm not sure how wise it is to speculate.

If you are a software developer of sufficient experience you might have had the experience of having to work with a codebase that had rotten, putrid stuff at the core. The process to fix something like that isn't clean, linear or logical. It is dirty and fully of surprises. You often end-up breaking it before you fix it. Life is like that most of the time. Fixing Twitter is definitely like that.

The man is very clear on his ideology. He isn't on the left or the right. And that's good. Something like having a leftist FBI pay Twitter millions of dollars to muck with accounts and posts should make everyone around the world take pause. If they are willing to do this to their own population, think what they are likely willing to do to others.

Do not be blinded by ideology. Think about a scenario where the opposite ideology has control in order to understand why pushing for one side or the other isn't good for anyone.

We do not want ANY government organization controlling ANY media organization. Not in the US. Not anywhere in the world. What has been revealed so far makes that nexus very clear. Fixing it will not be easy. Be glad he is willing to take the hatred and all else that comes with that job. If we are lucky this will transform social and conventional media forever and in a good way. Here's hoping.

Ok. It’s a private company and they can do what they like. And we can point out the hypocrisy.
sorry to say that the only thing I can agree on in this blogpost is "Any one of these topics represent a possible future of lifetime study. Many, because of the need to shorten the discussion, have been purposefully simplified to the point of being arguably misrepresentative." For example you are kind a implicating that christanity was responsible for the fall of rome, as the people started to reject ceasars as gods. This is kinda strange, I mean yeah this hypothesis exists but so do 210 others https://courses.washington.edu/rome250/gallery/ROME%20250/21... .You need better sources for such claims. Anyway IMO it is not strong anyway as Christanity and worldly rule made a good fit for the next 1300 years or so

Google certainly sinks for my purposes. But these current results are exactly what happens a company carefully calculates the monetization involved in retrieving information. Open AI isn't calculating the monetization of ChatGPT's answers and doesn't have a real business plan (paid chat won't go further than paid search imo). The thing is, once Open AI engages in the calculations done by Google, having the results seem to come from an "intelligence" can only make the effect worse (though I suspect Google will also tend to look like an intelligence/chatbot too as things progress, the future looks ugly)
The thing that blows my mind is how settings are just straight up duplicated. Like monitor sleep settings is in the Windows 10 style display preference panel. But it’s ALSO in a weird Windows Vista looking preferences window too. You have to use the second one to switch the “profile” as well.

It’s some serious garbage.
Sad that this is from 2015.
I worked on a chat bot to help solve technical issues. It would parse what the user wanted and then search the already established articles we had that were ingested into Elasticsearch.

At first, we started with a goal of fully conversational AI. So, for example, it would ask a question based on the article and give you a choice, you could then type your choice. This became a nightmare for the model so we added buttons instead.

Then, before we knew it, this “bot” was just a glorified search engine that feigned being a bot. Towards the end of it I scratched my head and said “did we even replace the current knowledgebase? are we spending thousands on something that adds no value?”

I don’t think chatbots are it either. I think we could have just replaced the KB search with Elasticsearch and been done with it, no need for any ML.
