The rewards of capitalism are now being irrationally and disproportionately showered on a select few individuals. Why bother putting in extra work when all that effort won’t afford you a house? And at the same time, you know that someone is going to make millions in weeks because they bought some memestock or crypto or sold their pics on Onlyfans or convinced Softbank that they were the next Alibaba.

American capitalism has become too irrational for real work.
These "oscillations" are compatible in my view. Empathy does not equal enablement - a maxim that is at the core of a lot of confusion in the modern-day culture war. Hearing the opposing view, communicating in a kind and responsive way isn't supposed to lead to an implementation of false ideas.

Trump is a sociopath who quite successfully exploited the anxieties of millions of people... but their grievances do matter - it's in all of our interest to lift everyone up, not dismiss or even humiliate half of the country. However, we should also recognize that Trump is not the way to accomplish that, he does not offer any solutions, he just mirrors and magnifies the worst parts of the human condition.
> everything has been done.

In computing and engineering, almost all "new" developments are actually variations or recombinations of things that have already been done.

BUT it's not just computing! That is also true of all the other arts, crafts, literature, music, ....

There is nothing wrong with this! It can be fun and rewarding to experiment this way, and some of the variations and recombinations are sufficiently novel and/or valuable that they are taken up by others. You just have to try the experiment and see where it goes.

An interesting form of variation is to remove something, or revert to something that was almost abandoned years ago. There have been a number of interesting projects recently that do this - the uxn virtual machine, the Gemini internet protocol, even the SerenityOS operating system. All three of these projects have attracted many developers besides their original authors.

Another form of variation is scale. Pick something insanely ambitious -- that seems to require a huge corporation -- and scale it down so you can do it all by yourself. The marginalia search engine is created and operated by one guy and runs on a computer in his living room.
We should also account for the economic detriment of the fact, then, that more educated women are incrementally less likely to marry.

Though it's just wishful thinking to think your or my scenarios are straightforward to price.
Encountered the same in dating: 20% of women are flakes, 10% are bad people, 5% really bad. 80% are good.

15-20% of women are flakes (non-maliciously unreliable, can't keep commitments), 5-10% (half of those) are actually maliciously bad people--bad/psychotic/abusive/crazy, 1-5% (half again) really bad (like psychopath/sociopath/criminally deranged bad). 80% are good. Stick with the good! Says nothing of actual compatibility in a pair just basic good or not.

That 20% of flakey (including the 10% of bad and 5% really bad) has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault nor your responsibility that they are like that, and their feelings and behavior are not your responsibility no matter how they might try to blame you for that; and there's nothing you can do to "change" them or "help" them or "better" them. And you probably can't "handle" them. If you get involved they're only going to try to hurt you (or in the case of flakes let you down) again and again.

So learn the signs that work for you and filter out the rest as quickly as possible. You don't have to be mean, but you have to be clear and set boundaries. There's no pride or sense or nobility in "handling" or "tolerating" a crazy or bad person. They're just dangerous and unpleasant.
Games are a reasonably good stress of a CPU in real life.

No they aren't. In 'real life', games, especially high resource games, are inconsequential compared to, say, performance of Excel, Word or web browsing for the overwhelmingly majority of users.
I highly recommend Greg Egan’s short story anthology Axiomatic.
Maven doesn't have this problem because maven central is too obtuse for hackers to use, and Enterprise Java developers don't ever update their dependencies. It's actually to their benefit, but it's for the wrong reasons.
In 1959, when Hawaii was admitted as a state, there was a referendum and more than 93% of the voters were in favor of the admission. The attendance was more than 90% of the registered voters [1].

That to me shows a lot of enthusiasm for joining the US.

But of course, 60 years later, you can always find some vocal minority with a nostalgia for an idyllic past that never existed.

OpenSnitch might fit the bill
I've noticed an absolutely fantastic increase in the number of my employees who just refuse to work beyond 40 hours without compensation. Many refuse to do it even with compensation.

It used to be I had like 1 dev who was that way. He come in at 10. He left at 6. Period. Any "overtime" was an immediate PTO accrual, without exemption. He'd work a Saturday, but he was taking off Monday.

The rest of the team worked whatever was required of them.

It created a lot perverse incentives for me, my co-owner, and our clients. If we kept hitting impossible deadlines, why wouldn't our clients keep asking it of us? Why wouldn't we keep saying yes to them? It made fiscal sense to do so. Clients were happy. We made more money. Staff largely didn't complain.

Now, the "workaholics" are a lot more rare, and we're a lot more careful about it.

If someone works over 40 hours, we compensate for that, salaried or not. It's called overtime, and we actually take a lower-margin on the hourly rate. If we're making our team work more than 40 hours, we fucked up. We deserve to make less money. We also charge a "rush rate" to clients, because while we're happy to help them out, the team deserves to be compensated. We've only had one client push back on it, and we fired them.

The staff is a lot happier, our clients have adjusted to the new expectations, and our staff churn has lowered.
I'm not sure I follow. Such attacks happen because of poorly designed protocols with very asymmetric resource requirements between endpoints. My understanding is that the QUIC handshake has measures in place to prevent it from being a vector for amplification/reflection based denial-of-service attacks.
> That’s not a bug, […]

Yes, I've mentioned this.

> […] it’s a limitation of your operating environment.

No, it isn't.

Memory is finite.

If your language doesn't handle this fact it's inherently unsafe, and a ticking time bomb.

> What else would you expect to happen?

Simply: No random crashes.

Especially as such a crash relies on the environment where the code is run. So it may work just fine "on your machine" but than crash in production…

That's imho a big no-no for anything that wants to be a "safe systems language" (especially as the post is mentioning things like nuclear power plants as target audience).
> D are powerless whether it's a centrist or an extremist.

No. That's only true in a deterministic parliament that works by majority rule.

You could have your parliament make decisions by lot (with probabilities weighted by what MPs vote for).

Or you could give your parliamentarians a steady stream of tokens they could use for voting; small parties could save up their tokens for a while, to have a decisive influence on something they care about.

(You'd have to work out a lot of kinks in such a token system..)
> Sure, but there's also many threads to tug on there, you doing need to demand any particular person or group share what they know with you if they don't want to.

In any case, what constitutes "sneering" at their oral tradition? As you said, science & religion are not the same. So what should a scientist do if their beliefs differ from science's?
What's going on with the font on this page though? All the "t"s look weird.
Um, no. The Vietnam War absolutely did not start because South Vietnam chose socialism, nor even because North Vietnam did. It started because North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam.

Your last paragraph, I fear, is accurate.

I understand what you are saying in this comment. I agree with you, unity and interconnectedness is the sine qua non of the psychedelic experience, along with a description of what is called nonduality. I’ve also found that when you talk with religious people, they describe this very thing, but know it using other words and concepts, like for example, god. The only person I’ve ever heard that addresses this shared experience within the gulf between atheists and believers is the author Brian Muraresku, but I’m not all that certain of his credibility or expertise. All I can say is that he at least got this right. In other words, when you give LSD to an atheist and a believer, it isn’t that they both come away believing in the idea or concept of god, it’s that they both experience a unitary experience of nonduality but interpret it differently. The atheist might say that they now understand the cosmic perspective that Carl Sagan always talks about. The believer might say that they have experienced what it is like to understand the mind of god. The atheist and the believer are talking about the same thing but are using different concepts and ideas to describe it, much like the parable of the blind men and the elephant. It should also be said that in the eastern tradition, atheism is historically more accepted as a legitimate path to wisdom than it is in the west, for example in the Rig Veda. I think it would be great for Christianity and Islam to moderate and liberalize enough to accept that atheism is a legitimate POV within their own traditions, but that might be asking and hoping for too much, too soon.
Unfortunately, remote work is now facing an oversupply (more people want remote jobs than are available). There are studies that have shown that people are often willing to forego a 6.8% premium in exchange for a remote job.

It is beginning to look like the start of a slippery (downward) slope for white-collar wages, I'm afraid.
> Many workers say they see little connection between working hard and being rewarded.

This has been my experience, and my personal theory to explain this change in productivity is that it's taking younger people in the workforce less time to figure it out than it took people my age. There normally comes a time around middle-age, when you say "I've been working like a dog for 15 years now, and what has it gotten me, and what good has it done in the world, and how much worse would it be if I coasted from here on out?" Now that's happening a few years sooner. The pandemic probably accelerated this introspection.

> An ADP Research Institute survey conducted in November 2021 found that U.S. workers said they were doing 8.4 hours of unpaid overtime work each week, down from nine hours the prior year.

Lazy so-and-sos. Makes me sick to my stomach.
It's almost like it's more complicated than just "regulation".
Possibly by design as the NSA leans pretty heavy on CF these days for DPI.
And as usually the case when people brought up selection bias, or survivor bias, you made the assumption that he only studied the successful. He never said he did.

I agreed that most attempts to invent new industries ended up in failure, by either crazy or regular people. That's because it's insanely hard to do so in the face of competition by the incumbents, not to mention going against the opinion of logical and well reasoning smart people, who are of course right 99.9 % of the time. For those who succeeded however, they are crazy -- as defined by the author -- most of the time. I think that's what the author intends to convey. If you can think of any new industry that invented by "normal" people who work within the system, I'd love to hear.
Probabilistic doesn't have to mean completely uniformly random.

And you can also still have safeguards, like constitutional guarantees etc.
Tamagui is always fully agnostic to backend choice, since it is specifically for UI styling/animation.

Remix.run and RedwoodJS are two fullstack React frameworks that comes from old RoR folks who aim to recreate the Rails/Laravel experience for JS/TS. Remix is SSR and progressive enhancement / web standards focused, and RedwoodJS is CSR and GraphQL focused and brings a larger and more opinionated suite of tools (testing etc.). Coming from Rails myself, RedwoodJS gave me the most Rails-like feel, but YMMV.

NextJS is the market leader for a fullstack React framework, ofc (and Solito.dev that bridges NextJS and Expo works well with Tamagui). But if you want more freedom, and a Vite based setup with ‘blazingly fast’ DX, then try vite-plugin-ssr.com

BlitzJS is «the missing fullstack toolkit for NextJS» also made by a RoR guy trying to make NextJS come closer to the Rails DX we knew and loved.

For data loading in particular, that works crossplatform, with both NextJS and React Native, I recommend:

tRPC, as a favored choice amongst many, to call backend functions directly from the frontend (it uses React Query under the hood to handle caching, retries etc.), and gives the mich loved full stack TypeScript type inference.

If you decide you need GraphQL - like if you need to expose your API to third parties, or have strict frontend/backend team separation - then I recommend:

GQty.dev on the client, for inferred queries/mutations. Rapid dev speed. Move to URQL or Relay at scale.

pothos-graphql.dev on the server, for auto building the schema from your TS code (aka. code-first). Better than Nexus.

That will give you fullstack type inference with GraphQL like with tRPC, and either will give your the fastest dev speed, closest possible to Rails.

That’s the gist of it. Hope it helps!

Does it even matter? Blame is irrelevant, I find responsibility to be a more interesting thing to discuss in virtually all circumstances. The DDoSers and spammers should cut it out (but unfortunately we can't really count on them for anything), Cloudflare should make more of an effort to preserve accessibility, and their customers should care about it too & make it clear to Cloudflare that it's a priority to them.

But if we take a step back it's clear that Cloudflare is the entity here that can have the biggest impact. Spammers and customers are diffuse, Cloudflare isn't. How much of the blame they deserve, I don't really care, but theres a problem, they're in the best position to act, so they have a responsibility to. In my opinion, that's the best mindset for solving problems.
The most vicious, sharp-elbowed, cutthroat colleagues I have seen have been at small and growing companies, particularly those in which growth slows. They often have much poorer management (very high proportion of first-time managers vs. larger companies) and are much more cliquey (lots of hiring in small pools of people who know each other).

Are the bottom entries domain:port? I feel like the table would be more interesting excluding those.
Maybe it's because my system has wine-devel, but running Chrome or Firefox under Wine has always been really buggy for me.
I'm not sure party whipping is actually a problem?

Btw, parties and how they work in specific electoral systems are (at least partially) a function of how general voting works in those systems.

If you have a sortition system, parties might work rather differently, if they would be present at all. MPs submit to the whip's party discipline, because they need the resources of the party to get re-elected etc. Under sortition, the incentives are all different.
Cases like that makes me laugh a lot. A decade ago, we used to rely on Linux distribution repos, and any serious company would have its own local copy on its own repository.

Things were a little bit slower to get new versions but things were safe and reliable.

Now, cool kids on the block arrived a few years ago, and decided that they were a lot smarter to have always the last version of everything, in direct and instant way, and build on moving sands. They were thinking that old farts were dinosaurs doing legacy software dev.

All we can say now is that by forgetting the past, you are doomed to make the same mistakes again and again.

Bypass the limit?
No.
Partially because you need to propagate that measurement somehow to your brain.
But assuming that we have the "pin down perfectly" part (idk how that would even be possible):
Mostly because the position/momentum of the measured particle would immediately become uncertain right after the measurement (it becomes a cloud of probabilities again).

The total uncertainty in the system would likely decrease, since you can think of it like wavefunction collapse. Of course, everything depends on how exactly the situation works mathematically, which we haven't actually defined yet.

To be clear, it is very well known that it isn't a measurement limitation. It's similar to asking "what the length of an oval" is, since there are many ways to measure an oval. It's not a "well-defined" question, and in fact, quantum mechanics requires it to be not-well-defined.

For more info, check out the fourier transform and how that necessitates the heisenberg uncertainty principle.

I (and many other physics people) find that people have a very hard time even trying to accept the nature of reality when it comes with uncertainty, and I think that's very normal. But according to our best known models, uncertainty is the nature of reality, and not because we can't measure enough.

This is the way things should be done by any competent developer.

Generally a VM jail is preferable - firecracker or cloud-hypervisor(virtiofs & gpu passthrough) recommended.

A proper namespace jail (eg. bwrap) is sufficient for 99.9% of cases. To break out of a properly configured namespace jail you would need to sacrifice a 0day.
It's definitely not just a regularizer in my case, because the gap appears even before a single epoch. The gap does also appear for two very different model architectures.

One explanation is that price labels are super noisy. If there is enough noise in the primary labels, you could imagine that adding in the more predictable target variables could help reduce gradient noise and speed up training. That's my current hypothesis, but I'm very open to others. If I had more time I'd try to do more experiments on this.
> If the branch prediction is always wrong, we can assume the speed would be the same.

Not sure, because in that case the wrongly-predicting CPU is doing lots of wasted work, which contributes to eg waste heat. A non-predicting CPU could do more real work, than a wrong-predicting one?
What’s funny is echo from Amazon works great for your google workspace account! Google has improved the situation but for like 6 years the mind boggled - so busy chasing big ai stuff, so little attention to customer stuff - the threads on this were thousands long - and that’s just the folks who could even figure out where to complain. And google workspace users are PAYING!!

I pay for dev support on aws and have had good support on Amazon retail as well. They can actually solve issues. I think Amazon retail credited me a very expensive purchase not because they could see the screwup their side but could understand what might have happened and maybe looked at my insanely long purchase history with virtually no returns and just made a call on the issue. Aws dev support should stick to scope - I do think some folks get way outside AWS specific stuff and into user solution configuration error stuff

If factories have exploitative working conditions, pass laws to fix that. Don't legalize more immorality and exploitation
I think this is the thing.

Web apps get a bad rap, and justifiably so.

But the blame frequently lies with the bloated frameworks developers choose to use. Developers choose these frameworks because web development is pretty complex.

When done properly, light-weight responsive web apps can be smooth as butter and an amazing user experience.

I do think that it requires a higher degree of technical expertise and more development effort to achieve this on the web vs native, though.

In some cases, depending on the business model and audience, it's worth it.
Let’s start the year with a programming language debate!

In my opinion, Java’s standard library is good, but not as good as the one in Python and then Golang. I also prefer the one in C#.
You're correct, but Netflix seems to block it on the client-side. Lots of extensions fix this, and I seem to have had those installed for quite a while, so never had to think about it. Prime on the other hand, blocks it server-side, so no way to upgrade.

I'm hoping that with SteamDeck these issues get sorted, as more people use it as a docked media player.

So what you're saying is TikTok is a psychological operation designed to weaken the economy of western nations? Honestly I wouldn't even be surprised if that was the case.

Doesn't invalidate the "less for more" philosophy though. This is what everybody should strive for. The chinese will too, in time.
You’re taking the side of state sponsored brainwashing over organic content created by TikTok users about workers‘ rights?

This sounds like something a high school kid would write. I interact with them daily, they literally "can't even". The entire generation is emotionally crippled, depressed, self-medicating (and diagnosing), and honestly appears incapable of functioning in society as an adult.

Have you stopped to consider how weird it is that you find that entire generation completely without fault? The first faultless generation? How convenient...
