> I like this model of private policing. In the instance the article sites, the security force went at the heart of the problem rather than throwing someone into a cage. That’s a good thing.

I mean this with all sincerity and zero snark: I barely recognize today's America in this story. There's a dynamic with both LEO & Privatization and it isn't leading to bulk mistreatment of vulnerable people. This lack of mistreatment is almost startling in how unfamiliar it feels.
Ok let us go down Forbes 2022 billionaires list

Musk - father owned diamond mines

Bezos - alluded to in article - big loan from parents

Arnault - father owned Ferret-Savinel

Gates - born with million dollar trust fund, grandfather ran bank, mother on board with IBM's Opel etc.

Buffett - grandfather owned chain of stores, father a congressman
It's really insane reading some of these comments. Specially those you know were written by a Brazilian right wing extremist.

Lula's prison was illegal. Is he innocent? Of course not. I don't know a single Brazilian who I could consider "innocent". We learn from a very young age to "dar nosso jeitinho" ("make our own way"). Most that criticize Lula wouldn't even survive a simple "tax evasion" investigation.

Corruption in Brazil began with the first "capitanias". The first colonies. There isn't a single "non-corrupt" government in Brazilian history. Period. If you think there was one, you haven't been reading enough.

Lula was imprisoned after collusion from Judge and Prosecution. There's even a conversation from the judge suggesting prosecutors to forge evidence. Judge that went to be a minister for Bolsonaro after illegally helping him defeat Lula.

All that said, Bolsonaro was one of the worst and most corrupt mandates in BR history. He could have easily been re-elected was not for the fact that he and his supporters are just DUMB. The pandemic was a huge opportunity for him that he blew because that's how stupid they are.

All he need to do was show some empathy. We are Brazilians. Most of us are catholics. We believe in solidarity, in the martyrdom of christ and that the poor and the destitute shall inherit the kingdom of god.

If he only visited some hospitals, cried together with some families, showed his empathy and that he cared for the people, anything could happen economy wise and he would be re-elected.

But he not only didn't show any empathy, but to the contrary, he mocked people suffocating. He did everything in his power to obstruct and disrupt lockdowns. He did everything to postpone vaccine purchases. He said, I kid you not, "What can I do? I'm not a gravedigger." When confronted with the raising number of deaths.

Now contrast that to Lula's speech yesterday. He cried in his FIRST speech when comparing the many long queues to buy luxury cars and private airplanes to the many people in the streets with nothing but discarded BONES to eat.

Bolsonaro is a vile character. But he's only as vile as his supporters. Most of them racists, elitists and deeply uneducated people. The old Brazil that would cherish slavery. That fought against an agrarian reform that hasn't happened to this day. Can you imagine this? A continental country, whose land rights go back to 500 years ago. The same elite, the same freeloaders. For over 5 centuries. Controlling and dictating the future of the country to appease their lazy aristocrat asses.
That the U.S. selfishly sees non-Americans as unprotected game is nothing that the EU has to respect.

The longer the committee holds onto the current status - that we neither promise stability nor will break it - the more users who value performance over never running a compiler will leave.

The remaining members are increasingly likely to vote in favour of stability, despite that meaning performance overhead. By induction, the expected result should be that stability is chosen over performance in the future as well.
Thanks for sharing.

I have a SQL Engine in Python too (https://github.com/mabel-dev/opteryx). I focused my initial effort on supporting SQL statements and making the usage feel like a database - that probably reflects the problem I had in front of me when I set out - only handling handfuls of gigabytes in a batch environment for ETLs with a group of new-to-data-engineering engineers. Have recently started looking more at real-time performance, such as distributing work. Am interesting in how you've approached.
On the web side you need to synchronize the DOM, the visual state (which is mostly related to the DOM), the user's state, and the backend state using a protocol that's stateless.

Really, the browser side stuff is the real PITA. It's a hacked together piece of shit written by people who were too clever by half. And it's designed to be used/driven by less-than-skilled individuals.

But in the end one big problem is there aren't a lot of ways to model a UI effectively. One given screen can have multiple states and behaviors that are state dependent, and the tools really aren't there. How do you specify "animation like x/y/z" on a screen?

There are tools for designers, but they're don't really work when handing that off to development. What I've seen is people printing out prototype screens and annotating everything, but that's obviously janky.
My answer is market demand:

1. users demanding (whether unknowingly or not) better ui, quick updates

2. developers demanding “make it for me” tools

3. Companies “demanding” engineers to stand out

No, not a gotcha. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It was an invitation to a perspective shift.

My aging mother lost her retirement savings to crypto "investing" despite my attempts to dissuade her for a few years. I do think that privacy-focused cryptocurrency is a legitimately worthwhile area of study/development even though the current industry is beyond a dumpster fire. But the people who are serious about it as an area of inquiry are going to stick around and use the mistakes of the past to improve. The people in it only to make a quick buck or billions probably won't.

As with nearly everything, there's more nuance involved than armchair critics tend to appreciate.
I would guess the point of the other poster might be that even if students accepted to Harvard know that they can get an equivalent education elsewhere that they would still be motivated to go to Harvard over the other schools regardless. Unless there was a specific reason to go to the other schools (such as Cal Tech being a better science and engineering school than Harvard).

Perhaps an inference which could be drawn from this is that Harvard, as an institution itself, doesn't need to inflate grades in order to get and retain students. It could more harshly grade to no ill effect to itself. Whereas most other schools can't.

Harvard can also afford to annoy a significant number of the legacy donor class. Why they don't is not fully explained by comparison to other schools (who often actually need the money to stay open). A guess as to why they avoid annoying the donor class is camaraderie and opportunities (for themselves, and possibly also for students). The opportunities is a reason they would mostly share with other schools, the camaraderie, less so.

"If you think the explanation for why this happens at Harvard is different for the explanation for why this happens to most of the rest of the US, then you would want to explain what makes Harvard different."

Edit to add: On a tangent I would guess that harsh grading at Harvard (and other elite schools) would be net beneficial to students. I've read of students who made it all the way through elite structures and then, when hit with a failure or blowback in the real world, either can't cope (suicide), or cope poorly (FTX/Alameda Research). School seems seriously serious when you're a young student, but it's primary purpose is to train for the adult world. Schools need to follow this policy of training, and they need to let their students know that failure is expected, and okay, even if it can't be 'pivoted' away from.
Web UIs should have been procedural from the start, but HTML's design confused semantics and visualisation. CSS was supposed to clarify this, but CSS isn't procedural either. So js was added to the mix to fill the gaps in what CSS can't do. But js doesn't componentise well, so React was invented as yet another layer to "simplify" everything else.

So now we have a "proper" frontend dev language which sits on top of a virtual DOM which is still based on HTML etc.

All of this could have been avoided by making Web 1.0 procedural and explicitly extensible and not baking content styling into HTML's semantics. There would have been some small additional complexity and it might have been harder for beginners to learn initially. But the current stack is far beyond non-developers anyway.

I suspect there would have been at least a fighting chance of replacing everything with a single standard library that runs faster and could easily handle everything React does more simply and elegantly, including resolution-dependent rendering - probably something like iOS/Android, but even simpler, and using the browser explicitly as a VM/secure container.
Explain how being able to land boosters is relevant to setting up a manned self sufficient base on a planet so far away from Earth that any mishap spells the immediate end of the endeavor?
I imagine the things that they thought were the most important to update in Vista were also the most important to update in Win7, Win8, Win10 and Win11, always for the same reason.
>It's not any more dangerous than Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram.
Facebook participates as part of the NSA spying apparatus.

That’s what about ism the NSA doesn’t send data to China, which has execution vans and concentration camps. (Versus decades before ppl are executed in USA, if ever)

>Snapchat by design facilitates the transmission of unconsentual sexual content.

Huh? Do you mean disappearing messages?

Data minimization is cool and good, conversations that used to be verbal and liminal now stick around for years to be fodder for harassment.

That’s why I declared moral bankruptcy- I don’t tolerate any criticism for anything I’ve said prior to 2023… I’m simply not going to be extorted by the type of emotional terrorist who nebs into my business then clutched their pearls so hard they nearly cut a vein :-)
Why Is it that the Mac Pro has so little Pro software available for it? Could it be the neglect? AV software used to be Apple's tentpole for Pro's, until they decided Prosumers were more profitable and lost mindshare of actual Pro's as a result (see the great migration after the releasee of the first Final Cut Pro X)
It's such garbage content and I also stopped watching. I figure he probably can expense a lot of the cost/tax because it's a business purchase once he makes content out of it but not sure if that works the way I think it does..
I've despised GNOME since version 1.x. I've developed a solution to deal with all this pent up hate and rage toward GNOME.

I just don't use it.

About as desktoppy as I'll get is XFCE. I gave my girlfriend (now wife) a Kubuntu-based laptop once to hold her over until I bought her a MacBook Air.

Systemd is another matter because Lennart doesn't seem to want me to have the "I just don't use it" option without stuff breaking. But Void seems to truck along quite nicely with runit so I'm content with that.
There are many successful businesses where the founders were backed by a substantial sum of money from family and/or friends.

There are also many successful businesses where the founders had to scratch and claw for every dime needed to get it off the ground.

I guess you just pick the narrative you want to promote and run with it. There are plenty of examples you can use to support your viewpoint. This article is typical of so many these days.

Sounds like an opportunity to me. Think of the jobs.
We used to stay at airbnb places all the time, but no more. The fees have reached a ridiculous level (hint: set your location as Australia, but your currency as USD to see the true cost). The alternative we have switched to is… hotels.
It suffers from overuse of commas which tends to be because the author uses them to communicate how they read it in their head (particularly how they paused on beats whilst reading for effect). Obviously there's an error at the end ("will fail" should be "from failing"). It suggests to me an author who is not experienced at writing, quote possibly due to having English as a second language.
It’s interesting that Portland is seeing record homicides because it’s far more gentrified than ever. Portland had only 54 homicides in 1993, when crime was much higher nationally, and Portland specifically was much seedier. Last couple of years are close to double the 1993 peak, but population growth since then is only 50%.
Well, exponential growth (and Von Neuman Probes!) can get fun quite quickly. ;-)
To be fair, housing and rental markets in some places are kind of pre-ruined. There have been plenty of (and doubtless will be plenty more) scammy landlords for short-term rentals.

AirBnB really just provided a modern online interface with some customer service stuff that papered over the bad stuff for a while. But like with actual bad construction, you can't hide the stuff forever so sooner or later the magic disappears.

I'm "pmarreck" on pretty much all public services (github etc.).

I'm looking for part-time contract or fulltime work as a sysadmin, a DBA, an automated test suite maintainer, a backend web dev, a code reviewer, a technical consultant, a technical project manager, a hybrid manager/developer (I LOVE mentoring/sharing the lessons I've learned), (possibly) technical sales (I've been described as "socially portable" which might lend utility there, I also like getting excited about cool tech and have been told my enthusiasm is contagious, which might lend itself to sales... and I seem to get along well with "sales guy types" as well as everyday geeks), or anything else where you think a long-time bleeding-edge nerd who is now a new dad might be able to assist with.
<< Maybe I've somehow only worked in dreadful, dramatic hellscapes, and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you? But also I think politics is what happens when more than 3 people want to work together, and so it's an inherent aspect of work.

Not at all. If anything, you are being very stoic about it from my perspective, but then maybe I only had my initial share of hellscapes ( and each new one is getting worse ). Things are getting more complicated in systems and company hierarchy. It is not always understood ( or well documented ) how those systems interact ( or even supposed to interact in theory ). Without careful navigation it is easy to miss something important, because of office politics.

Random people will click past the scare tactics of modern browsers re: self signed if the topic is already technical and the demographic understands browsers are stupid.

One of the weirdest articles I've read in a while in the NYTimes:

* The extra carbon footprint of taller people is meaningless in comparison to what we should be reducing the emissions by.

* The extra amount of food consumed by tall people is meaningless. People don't starve because tall people are hoarding the food. Or if the tall started eating less that food wouldn't be teleported to the tables of hungry people.

* It doesn't matter that some people lived in an island and shrunk. We are not in an island, and food won't be the first resource we'll run out of.

* We shouldn't need to say this but: celebrating being the shortest just screams social awkwardness as much as celebrating being the tallest.

* For better or worse there's a positive correlation with height and intelligence, and with height and salary.

* For better or worse your options are severely limited below a certain threshold in the mating department.

* This focus on how people look is extremely unhealthy. Is the height of a person that important to even care.
AFAIK, Yelp has not and does not remove negative reviews for the sake of improving a business's score, but they will remove "spam" reviews (like if a celebrity dies at a hospital and their fans leave bad reviews). There certainly have been minor incidents where certain employees have behaved against policy.

Unlike Airbnb, if users lose trust in their reviews, Yelp loses their entire business.

Yes lets establish a base on the moon with no resources, the same moon that was created from an asteroid impact like the one we're trying to avoid by being a multi-planet species.

We can create fuel on Mars. Mars is far enough away from Earth that it's a safe redundancy for humans.

Sure we can use the moon as a stepping stone to Mars, but we can also train for Mars like conditions in Nevada...

Either way, Mars is the only viable goal if you want to remove the single point of failure of an asteroid impact.
Wait, so you mean that not destroying Earth is a worse goal than going to Mars? I would love it if we managed to solve our current mass extinction problem. Probably more than the idea of going to Mars while happily destroying life on Earth, to be honest.
My nextdoor neighbor sold their house last year and now it's an Airbnb. Despite the fact that I live in a house in a normal residential neighborhood, I'm now forced to live next to a hotel. And I have no say in the matter. Super frustrating.

I've read people talking about how Airbnb screwed the host or the guest. But few people talk about how it screws the neighbors.
One of the first things I do on a Win 11 install is to revert the context menus back to the way they used to be.

> This is a bunch of rhetoric dressed up as logic hidden by using long paragraphs

Rhetoric is the classical art of persuasion. Were you trying to say "empty rhetoric" or to describe the argument as being poor? Describing a poor argument as "rhetoric" is like calling an old unreliable car "engineered".

Logos is part of rhetoric, not aside it.
The other commenters got it spot on for where you can learn more, but as to where I learned it, I decided I wanted to build a project with USB C running at 3.0 speeds and had to deep dive on the subject in order to make it work.

It was surprisingly hard to gather all of this information in one place and actually implement it given the resources on the internet a few years ago. Even then, there were still some board revisions that got it a bit wrong, one where I left out the decoupling capacitors I'd later learn were a critical detail, and one where I put all the wiggles clumped together at the middle of the shorter trace and so despite both signals arriving at the end at the correct time, they were out of phase for nearly the whole trace run and caused (presumably) cross talk between each other. But I did get it working in the end :)

'Performance benefits' may also include low and/or predictable latency. GC is a real problem there. Not insurmountable by any means (witness the number of people who use java for latency sensitive applications), but a problem nonetheless.

Edit: Also, depending on how they're used, exceptions can be easier to avoid than GC. IOW, if an exception has been thrown at all, you may well have bigger problems than the latency cost of throwing.
Agreed on that controllers are often misunderstood. I saw them to become both: a view and a model at the same time. :(
