serious question - you think overweight people do not know they are overweight? And they don’t know it’s bad for them? They are probably overweight because they physically have trouble losing the weight (disability, hormonal issues, etc), or they have no self-control, or they are poor and don’t have the means or time to focus on their health.

if you are already fat and prediabetic, you have a lifestyle problem, not a medical problem a doctor can fix.

I don't use Pico-8, and I find its limitations frustrating; I am never going to make a game in Pico-8. But I do use stuff like Jummbox when I compose music, for basically the same exact reasons other devs use Pico-8 for games, and I love Jummbox's limitations for music composition.

Limitations are a way of fostering community (ham radio enthusiasts all kind of get to know local operators, Jummbox makes sharing song sources in a digestible way super-easy). Limitations also allow you to not care about complications that would be barriers to building things -- I don't want to set up a VST before I start writing music.

So my feeling on Gemini has shifted from being a curmudgeon about honestly kind of really nitpicky, shallow stuff like the ability to mark-up inline language transitions -- into realizing that when you step away from thinking of the project as some kind of attack on the web then yeah, it actually makes a ton of sense to build a small community around a very limited format that forces everyone in that community to be standardized in how they share with each other, keeps the community a little bit niche so that the people in it are a bit more friendly and personable, and forces its participants to focus pretty much only on what they're writing and nothing else.
Honestly, any company which leads from the top like this, instead of having HR just ambush people about a "difficult discussion" they need to have, is going to be rated up high to me. Even more so, a company with generous layoff terms -- which these are. No one is at fault here.

What's happening in tech and the economy in general might new for some of you, or the first time in your working career that you're worried about your job because, for the past 15 years or so, tech has been largely insulated from other small cycles which have happened. Economies have downturns and cycles, and in your lifetime you'll see it many times.

My parents struggled so much in the 80s to put me through school. My dad had to take a job in a different state and live away for 6 months just so we could keep our house and the lights on. I will never forget that time. Or 2001 when so many dot coms busted, as did my first job. Or in 2008 when half my colleagues in finance were walked out the door. Or 2011's mini recession.

It gets better, and this all will pass. To me, it certainly makes a difference how people treat each other when times are tough, and I can find no fault of this CEO or company. Nor of Zuckerburg when I read and listened to his message and felt, to me, genuine sadness in having to make such a decision.

It's tough times - let's all avoid cynicism and see if we can help anyone we know impacted by a job loss by our networks. Go write up a referral for someone on LinkedIn. Call a friend who's struggling and just listen to them. That's all you can really do.
Wildly overpriced compared to building it yourself or compared to other PC building companies?

I purchased a Thelio Mira awhile back and have been happier with it than any other PC/laptop I've owned before.

The big value add that System76 is having a Linux desktop that is guaranteed to just work out of the box the same way you would expect and Apple machine to work out of the box. In fact, I've probably had less issues with this machine out of the box than any new macbooks I've had in the past few years.

I've built plenty of my own PCs before and run linux as my primary desktop multiple times, and my Thelio is a wildly better experience than in the past. The build quality is excellent and for the first time I can really use Linux as my primary desktop with no problems.

Building a PC yourself is always going to be cheaper, and for many people that's the preferred path anyway. The point I'm at in my life I would much rather pay a premium to not have to worry about that at all (especially when it comes to hardware on linux).

If anyone is look for a "just works" linux PC, I've found system76 to be a great experience.

> full vesting of all equity, 3 years to exercise

They aren't accelerating vesting. They're just removing the cliff. So if they hired you 6 months ago, you'll be eligible to exercise 6 months worth of vested options (or 1/8 of the total option grant).

"We removed the vesting cliff for employees who were with Lattice for less than one year. Their equity will vest monthly during their employment term as if they had reached the cliff. Employees will have up to 3 years to exercise their options post-exit."
Remind me of that time when a recruiter calls me, says I'm not interested and I hang up, then my colleague's phone start to ring, same recruiter.

We ask him how he got our phone number because our phones were provided by our company and the numbers were not publicized.

"I received the list from a colleague, we have different way of sourcing our data, blah, blah, blah".

Few days later, we learned that some guy from HR from our company left and sold the employees list to some recruiters.

> Vulkan is so painfully verbose in unnecessary ways, forcing you to be explicit about everything

It's my understanding that Vulkan (like Metal) has fundamentally different goals than OpenGL

OpenGL is like if the lowest-level programming language available on your OS was Java. Low-enough level to be fast-enough most of the time, and high-enough level to write application code with. When OpenGL was designed, it was common for eg. game developers to directly write OpenGL code as a part of their game

In today's world- we not only have higher-level libraries and APIs, but many eg. game developers use a game engine like Unity or Unreal and never touch the raw API. In this world, it makes sense to have that raw API be lower-level, so that the people maintaining the libraries and game engines can have more control and optimize those more deeply. Vulkan is the C to OpenGL's Java

(that's my understanding anyway; I've never been paid to do graphics programming)
Asking for laws instead of people to build self control is not the answer.
Seems like the issue is CDMX’s government (which I’d note tends to be on the left of Mexican politics) is keeping fares down. I get why, it’s an appealing policy and raising fares would actually hurt people (in a way that a 25 cent hike in the US really doesn’t) but the long term cost is high.
'always permanent' seems redundant. Japan certainly has not had permanent inflation. Starting in the mid-1980 up until recently it has wavered quite a bit.
A SQL-level standard wouldn't do much because different apps will be using different database schemas anyway. (It's similar to how two applications that both use JSON format usually aren't going to be compatible, because they use it to store different things.) Only generic, schema-independent database tools and libraries would be helped.

For a portable application file format, you'd want to pick a SQL implementation (probably SQLite), decide on a schema, and probably wrap it in a library, but once you do that it could be used in multiple apps.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but your line of thinking is very detached from reality. The Dominican Republic doesn't need economic improvements. Sure, every country could always improve their economy. But the quality of life in the DR is good, healthy, stable. Haiti has refused to step up to the plate and improve their country. They don't work their land.

Only Haiti stands to benefit from any "unification". And more importantly, the Dominicans should be the only ones to determine their destiny; not academics who think "improving economic status" is a valid reason for merging one country with another -- without any regard for the preservation of culture, ethnic makeup of the country, history, national identity -- and most importantly: values.

> "We (Coke) will give you money. You need to paint opponents of us as racist."

It's funny, I heard my father-in-law parroting this when complaining about soda taxes. I also don't care for the taxes, but I don't see them as inherently racist. In fact, hearing him say this made me think that the characterization of the tax being racist is, itself, racist, as it bears the presumption that various minorities more regularly make the irresponsible personal choice of drinking soda, and this is without any data to prove it.

> Tests live in their own directory and are written against the public interface, or, when testing private implementations, against a For_testing module exported just for that purpose.

That is a nice and unique idea. I dislike exposing code just to make it testable, but exposing something under an explicit name is a great compromise.

Having a test runner with a `watch` mode is extremely helpful, as is a runner that will output expected vs actual diffs when a test fails, or provide contextual information about why a test failed.

The premise of initial test in the article - testing a fibonacci function - is also slightly at odds with a better property based testing approach. Validating a function works for a specific input isn't so helpful. We want to validate it works for any number of input!

I'd use the actual definition as a property based test and fuzz over the value:

const n = generateRandomIntegerBetween(0, 100);
expect(fib(n) + fib(n+1)).toEqual(fib(n+2))

I also like having precondition and postcondition assertions in my tests.

One example of this is validating the argument generated to pass to the function under test has the correct structure and state before its passed into the function under test.

We can also validate that after the function under test has completed, the argument it received wasn't mutated in any way.
For now. That's kind of the point here.
Plenty of people think things are coherent that, upon conceptual analysis, collide into a reductio ad absurdum around every corner. There are honestly so many problems with it, but let's go off the top of my head:

- Self-identity: There is nothing special about sex/gender as a property that distinguishes it as a special case for self-id from other empirical properties of human beings, such as height, eye color, or hair follicle shape. Barring special criteria, if we allow self-id for one property, we must allow it everywhere. Everything goes.

- If one truly believes that gender is distinct from sex, then what motivates one to "identify" as something else?

- Many if not most transgender individuals emulate the opposite sex and their associated gender stereotypes. Surgically-implanted breasts and facial hair are secondary sex characteristics—their presence has nothing to do with gender. How those characteristics are presented or hidden are gendered expressions, but not their mere presence.

- Epistemically, we only know what it is like to be the sex we are. We can attempt to understand "what it's like" to be the opposite sex, but we can never know. Therefore, one can "identify as" something else, but that something else is just a facsimile.

While the evidence in ~2011 for a sterile neutrino was pretty hot, but I think everyone knew that turning out this way was pretty likely... certainly the very first question was whether the flux predictions were any good. (Turns out that predicting the spectrum from a reactor is actually kind of hard, and so, in fact, they weren't correct at the time.)

As a counterpoint, I have used Macintoshes since 1987 and it's always bugged me.

Particularly because of the inconsistency -- Control Panel (now System Settings) has always quit when you closed its window, but most other apps don't. (While QuickTime maddeningly acts both ways, depending on what you've done in the app.) I can't tell you how many times I ask myself why the heck Activity Monitor is running in the dock, only to realized that I closed the window rather than quitting it.

Having a GUI application, in a windows-based environment, run without any windows is just weird unless it's a background utility or something. Conceptually I've just never been able to get used to it.

I'm very happy that a lot of applications have moved to a single "master" window with documents living in tabs (e.g. Sublime, Photoshop, etc.), than the strange "menubar with no windows" app state. (Made even stranger by further inconsistent behavior where, for example, if you close all TextEdit or Terminal windows, it's in menubar-only mode, and then switch to a different app it's running in the background, but then if you tap the running TextEdit or Terminal in the dock it mysteriously makes a new window. Huh?)
The first thing I see is a 16x9 screen, think "pass", and close the page. There have to be other LCD panel makers out there. Either their customers don't care and/or the company doesn't care to make a better laptop.

Sane defaults tend to evolve over time with the hardware architectures so it's probably not a very good idea to encode these into the API.

A lot of what you request can be achieved by using Vulkan wrappers that simplifies these things without making the driver API more magic/implicit and regress back to the dx9/openGL style API's that mantle/vulkan/dx12 was made in opposition of.

> Doesn’t explain why birth rates are falling in countries with largely rural populations as well.

Countries that still have “largely rural” populations are generally also urbanizing, in many cases more rapidly than those that no longer have largely rural populations.

In any case, “urbanization” is, to the extent that it is part of the explanation, sill only part of the explanation, there are a lot of other factors (social safety nets being a big one, along with evolution in social expectations of minimum levels of necessary support for children, etc.) While these things may all very loosely correlate with each other, they don’t move in lockstep.
