I had a classmate who got hit with this issue from the opposite direction. In our first semester CS course, 70% of our grade was based on our documentation. My classmate wrote beautiful, comprehensive documentation of the solution program to each solution set. They also didn't write a single line of code the entire semester, passing the class entirely on the strength of how they documented software that wouldn't even compile.

By the time that they reached the more advanced courses, where producing a working program was a requirement, they were so far behind that continuing in the program was hopeless (e.g. being asked to write a database when they'd never even attempted "Hello, World").

If the department counsellors had been on the ball, my classmate would have made an amazing technical writer, but I believe they wound up switching to electrical engineering.
Agreed.

Some keyboard come with dedicated volume +/-/mute keys which is great and frees up function keys.

In my daily task list template in Obsidian I create a task formatted like this:

- [ ] [[slop/2023-01-04]]

and I go into that and close my eyes and just type stream of consciousness, sometimes about a certain subject, and without editing, until I get to 500 words. It helps to get the flow going with little pressure on doing it right. I call it slop to emphasize that none of it is going to be good.

Actual monitors are a pain to carry around when travelling so if a VR monitor could become portable that could help me carry my setup wherever I go.
The discussion was specifically about art, that's why I mentioned art. To come again to my point, a human thinks it's sentient because a human thinks it's sentient (not kidding). We agree that towards the exterior, we can get an illusion of sentience from a TV set. But towards the interior? I only claim my neighbor is sentient because I claim I am sentient and the neighbor is human thus will be sentient as well. I don't have any more access to their sentience than I have access inside the "black box" TV set's sentience. So it all revolves around my own sentience, used as yardstick for all humans and to some extent, animals (plus the old debates about slaves, women, aliens...). I personally think we are all sentient because I think I am sentient. So... if a machine thinks it's sentient, will it be sentient? In a different way? Is there only one sentience? My consciousness is infinitely valuable (to me!) thus any human's will be (maybe less than mine, eh), and a machine's not much (but how much?). Or a rat's? Oh well, biology is one thing, and philosophy is another thing and they're definitely not mapping 1:1.
>>Me, me, me, I, me, me.

You say that like is a bad thing. One should always look out for their own interests. I am unclear why I should not be?

>>I wonder why overtime and crazy hours are then the norm across so many industries

Well I know many documented cases where it is not "required" but the employee feels it is. As a manager I have had to prevent employees from working too much even though I have told them many times it was not required or expected they still did.

>>Because it's only people with children who get sick, need time off work, wage protection or pay for overtime

Not at all, and people that need those things should negotiate them. I have negotiated more vacation time for incoming employees that had that at an important item, I treat each person as an individual and what is good for one employee may not be good for another employee.

I prefer individualism
> just that they don't work as well because we are not all in it together

It's one thing to say that in tech people can have different performance levels. But stuff like PTO, actually meaningful sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, retirement benefits, healthcare, workplace safety, overtime work, using people for work they have not been hired, equipped or training for - there everyone is in the same boat, but tech's aversity to unions has an effect like the infamous "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

Even wages... it's not "just" performance levels that dictate these. Unions also serve for those who are not as conflict-happy or those who cannot negotiate due to external factors (e.g. visa enslavement, they have family to take care of and can't afford the potential of being out of work for a couple weeks while they set up new employment)... unions sacrifice a bit of individual wealth for common wealth for everyone.
Is this more about the ABI? I couldn't find incompatible userspace ISA changes since many years (things sounded to have settled down since a while even in 2016: https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/riscv-spec-v2.1...). The RISC-V Linux port was also merged to mainline in 2017 and presumably been living under the stern binary & ABI compatibility rules there.
Clickbait title. The premise of the article is that this key to success is "a simple willingness to learn".

In context:

"One of the most important factors in Ms. Zurek Small’s success seems almost too obvious to mention but, in fact, deserves far more attention and discussion: a simple willingness to learn. In more than 20 years of college teaching, I have seen that students who are open to new knowledge will learn. Students who aren’t won’t."
I had the last generation laptop with the "fixed" butterfly keyboard. I never had a problem with it and I had it for three years. It is by far my most favorite keyboard ever. I was said to have to hand it back when I left that job.

I'm a light typer though, I think heavier handed typists suffered with it.
Are you replying to the wrong comment? I never said that and someone else did.

I consider myself a gray area guy that's gotten exactly where they planned to, and doesn't really care about "getting ahead"... in many ways I'd rather not, as long as the checks keep clearing, and the pay is decent enough.
I agree on the point that we should have our own charger/adapter. But I would love to do that when every company follows the same standard.

European Government and few of the Asian government's are enforcing companies to follow a single standard. Hope this will help us move toward a universal standard
I love the idea. One minus I noticed was that 5/5 of 5 links I clicked to vendors were broken, I think because vendors keep retiring old products.

I wish it was easier to say "I bought this before and I want to get it again". I am threadbare a lot not because I can't afford new clothes but I find shopping for clothes pretty stressful, one thing that would help is being able to buy something again that is already successful -- and I bet the industry sells less clothing than it would if it did this.
I think the author finds it weird they ban civil-rights-promoting books for being "racially incendiary" but allow Mein Kampf.

It's kinda like banning Titanic for the nude painting scene, but allowing Behind the Green Door. Like, sure, I guess it's kind of a classic, from a certain point of view, but... really? That gets through but Titanic doesn't?
Most of the people you describe have little to no moral compass. Most of the time they are above the accepted morals of society (a very Nietzsche perspective). These are the marketers of the world who encourage you to "pollute the web" and the media manipulators whose secrets are to "con the conmen". The reality is, they make more money than any of us and sleep just fine every night because they know that nobody seeks honesty or reality anymore. The more unbelievable of headlines and articles, the more it warps our compass.

No sane person doing this will push reasonableness, complexity, or mixed emotions.
Yes, the OP is conflating several things here. For example, with HN, maybe you could say it's brutalist, but readability is much better than comments in Facebook, Disqus, etc. It's difficult to directly address OP's comment with this conflation, I'm not sure what's being referred to.

Pushup creator here. We're interested in feedback on the design. Pushup introduces a new lightweight template syntax that mixes Go code and HTML in the same page; pages are then compiled down to pure Go, relying on the net/http package. Pushup uses file-based routing, so adding a page adds a route to your app. The template language has an "inline partials" feature to make it easier support for modern hypermedia libraries like htmx in mind. Would love to know what the Go web development community thinks.

Here is a short demo of Pushup in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkyiATkZ4Js
Those are the historical reasons prisons were necessary, but those all go towards the above goals - providing a source of slave labor.

It has expanded its reach since then though. While the legal has a hard time incarcerating people who haven’t committed crimes (although it still does this, and actively builds up its pipeline for fresh bodies), it’s still able to exploit innocent people for profit. You can see this in prisons strategy of removing and banning in person visits, moving convicts far from their communities, and extorting families with predatory prices to communicate with their loved ones.
>My biggest concern about modern toys is that we have dumbed them down to work for the lowest common denominator. That's why a 3 year old today can (with a bit of training) assemble 12+ LEGO sets.

I think Lego is the perfect example of this. I never understood the point of it as a kid. Why would I want something that comes with an instruction booklet to recreate the exact thing shown on the box? Why wouldn't I just ask for the thing pre-made instead? And furthermore the bricks were useless for actually creating things. It's nothing more than a slightly more advanced wooden block set.

K'NEX on the other hand was awesome. You could actually build things. Erector too. And those came with all sorts of cool accessories like electric motors and solar panels that you could use to build crazy contraptions. Sad that those things aren't as popular anymore.
It does, because although there is scholarly interest in Mein Kampf, it’s also anti-Semitic. It would be reasonable for prisons to make the determination that the latter trumps the former.
> Why do you want to share your opinions on controversial topics? What do you get out of it? No one cares about your opinions on incest except to dunk on you. You're not going to revolutionize society's opinions on incest.

One person won't, but echo chambers definitely do solidify people's opinions. I'm old enough to have seen popular opinions on a lot of issues move during my own lifetime, and things really start to get extreme at about the point where people feel like they can't oppose the trend. That happens pretty much regardless of whether the new or old opinion was "right" or "wrong". And if the accepted opinion started out largely "right", it very often ends up getting pushed into a more extreme version that's closer to "wrong".

It's called "groupthink". It's one reason that having persistent handles isn't necessarily as good an idea as you'd think in online discussions. Which is itself an opinion close to some danger areas right now...

This kind of use case should have been what the Touch Bar supported.

I was actually excited when the Touch Bar came out because I though I would finally be able to just have named buttons, even click-through menus, instead of having to memorize what f1-f12 did on a given app.

Imagine if instead of “ok, f1 opens my [some application], I just need to memorize that” you could just add a button that says [some application]”.

Sadly the support for the Touch Bar was pretty middling to poor.
Programmer Tastes fluctuate around while society recalls older tastes from movies/sitcoms/books; the net result is a passive positive-reinforcement feedback loop from prior art. Psychology has an entire branch studying these sorts of reality -> views -> reality -> views effect chains.

I'm convinced the brutalist, utilitarian designs originate with those of us who spend the most time close to their machines and originate from the needs of the _system_ before the needs of the _users_. As you move closer to end users there'll be more visual flair and ergonomic attention will move from favoring system ergonomics to favoring human ergonomics.

>I can only assume that BT doesn't have sufficient buying power to get modem manufacturers to include that in their software as a feature.

BT (openreach) basically have a monopoly on the infrastructure and all the consumer facing companies pay them for access (exception is virgin fibreoptic and possibly Kingston communications (Hull only))

So I wouldn't have though itd be a lack of buying power.

Well, Ruby 3 has Ractors which is still in experimental stage but offers true multicore processing.

It's quiet fun to play around with actually, to see all your cores being utilized.
Correction, it’s not the electoral college itself but the senate primarily that favors representatives from the countryside (and not really countryside so much as low population states. Voters in states with both countryside and huge cities, say Texas, are also underrepresented in the Senate)

Electoral college votes for a state are senate seats plus house seats. House is roughly population based.

Senate is 2 per state and constitutes half the legislative branch. So it very heavily favors representation for low-population states.

House has significantly more seats than senate (4X), so electoral college only slightly favors low population states.

My issue with electoral college isn’t the weighting but the voting. First past the post is idiotic; every democrat in a red state gets their vote ignored and every Republican in a blue state gets their vote ignored, meanwhile purple states are chucked marketing funds by the boatload. It’s inherently divisive because there’s no political reason for a candidate to unite a state that’s already won or lost, like California or Texas.

> Could this be because a 20 yo woman was would be seen as helpless?

Maybe. But it's the practical outcome that I'm talking about. Women are often offered help. Men aren't.

To me this seems a more detrimental situation for a man than a women. Not sure how this is being spun as a negative for women.

Or is the point Feminisim is trying to make "Stop helping me, I'm not helpless"? They don't want our help? This doesn't jibe with my experience.

Or is a right-thinking male supposed to say "Feels great when I can't get help, because people don't assume I'm helpless"? Sorry, this seems like a pretty crappy world to live in.

I personally know several women who manipulate like this to their advantage. I mean two of them have literally told me that they're being manipulative of these attitudes to get things they want from strangers. A young feminist family member recently told me she plays dumb sometimes to get men to do things for her, because since men already think she is stupid (her words) they deserve getting manipulated. When someone tells you they're being manipulative, believe them.

I'm not judging all women, but some of what I've seen ain't right.

And listen, I'm not here to rag on women or women's issues. That's an entirely different subject. My original comment is that the problems of men are largely ignored by society.
The 70s when one earner (even a factory worker) could still afford a house and kids and wealth gaps were way smaller? Better times for sure unless you're very rich.
I'm not so sure...you can get a pretty regular edge with fold fold fold rip. I think it's more that cardstock type paper can be used to fabricate a pretty rigid thrusting weapon with the correct technique.
I think it's interesting that the example you gave (despite being very outside the mainstream) didn't lead to too much side discussion and people mostly spoke to your question. While if you'd used more common example (one of any number of topics that doesn't permit dissent these days) you'd have been flagged into the stone age and had people either feign outrage or condescendingly explain why you're wrong and ignore your question. Ironically, it was a good example.
Prison reform in particular seems to be one of those things folks educated on the prison system (or even just close to it) are in favor of, but folks who don't interact with it at all believe for whatever reason that it's fine and any attempts to make it better is immediately equivalent to making things "easier" on prisoners which sets up a knee-jerk negative reaction.

The leadership was probably afraid that even a bipartisan effort would be vehemently opposed by a vocal minority as soft on crime, anti-LE, or something else.
These generations of MacBook does not only have faulty keyboard design, everything is just wrong.

My 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro is constantly overheating. The heat significantly degrades the battery, resulting a battery warning at the one-year mark; and the screen was also burned yellowish/pinkish after a few months’ use.

I was lucky to have that Apple Care, I went to Apple Store, they replace the whole body — everything except the board because they don’t take off the screen / battery at the store.

So no, I don’t have a receipt for keyboard replacement, even if the keyboard get stuck once a while, that is not the worst issue for me. It is just the tip of the iceberg. But for that, I won’t get compensated for whatsoever.

Last spring, I replaced it with a M1-Pro MacBook Pro and never looked back.
This is more of an industry problem than an EV problem - in general all car models have become bigger, faster and heavier over time

Compare the original mini vs the new ones, and today's 3 Series is easily the size of an old 5 Series, etc.

Consumers like toys and safety features, so now even smaller vehicles have climate control and multi way electrically adjustable seats along with all the bits to make that stuff work - before you got a sunroof if you were lucky, and a lever to move the seat back and forwards

Agreed. I think it's hard so see a new ISA getting much traction now unless it clearly offers a very significant power / performance benefit and that seems unlikely at the moment. I blogged that RISC-V might be the last mainstream ISA a while ago - I think it will crowd out other options.

> After decades of work, researchers are finally seeing signs of success: a new generation of anti-obesity medications that drastically diminish weight without the serious side effects that have plagued previous efforts.

…

> Nutter is concerned that people might start these treatments — whose side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, can be severe — to escape weight stigma, rather than to serve a true health need

So the side effects aren’t “serious” — they’re just potentially “severe”? I’m confused.
Time restricted feeding is a form of natural calorie restriction and it's the caloric restriction that causes the change in the body.

When equated for calories, protein, and fiber (and their "Calories Out" side effects) there is no statistically significant difference in diets from the twinkie diet[1], keto, low carb, low fat (though not too too low cause of hormones), one meal a day, 12/12 or 16/8 or 5d/2d intermittent fasting...
