What you've described is how Personas are used incorrectly.

Personas are a good way to have an overview of how people use a complex product. It's basically categories and metrics, but high level and coarse.

For example, for a streaming service you may have people who don't care about ads or audio and video quality because all they do is have something in the background while they cook, or drive the car. That's Persona A. And you have people who carefully curate their content, look for uncut gems, and have extensive music and film catalogs. That's Persona B.

And then you try to look at your product from both perspectives. And then you either try to reconcile the two, or select one of them to cater to (backed up, by stats and data).

However I agree that in many cases it's just a business fad

Then why all the comments?

I know what typical code does. This code looks simple but that's misleading when you're trying to understand a failure. You want consistency and clarity. You want readablity like code is readable not like a book is readable.

Ok, I've read thesis and have many questions to authors:

1) Is it possible to create new structure elements and rules how they can be nested? Now there are headers of several levels, and it's all?

2) What's about tables?
2.a) Multipage tables?
2.b) Multipage tables which have alternative orientation - like landscape table in portrait book?

3) What's about inserts, which must be placed in exact break in the main text?

4) What's about marginalia? Marginalia which must be synchronized with text?

5) What's about multicolumn layout?
5.a) What about multicolumn layout which is interrupted by single floating object (which belongs to page, not one column) - there could be two styles, when columns above and under floating object are independent and when they are continue after interruption.

6) What's about multiple flows of text, synchronized? Think about bi- and triple-lingual texts, like translations of legal documents or poetry. Different flows could go to different pages (odd-even) or different columns on one page, but each page/column must contain same text, even if one language is more compact than another and one page/column will be systematically underfilled.

7) What's about poetry, and modern poetry especially, where each line can require its own indentation (look up Mayakovsky's poetry).

8) What's about footnotes?
8.a) Long, multi-page footnotes?
8.b) Nested footnotes, more than 2 levels of them?
8.c) Nested multi-page footnotes?

9) Is it possible to create "Problem / Solution" object typical for textbooks? I want to type problems and solutions together and automatically place all problems where they are typed, but move all solutions in designated place (like, last chapter)?

10) Is it possible to have Initials automatically?

11) What's with custom alignment rules? For example, in some typographic traditions last line of aligned paragraph must be not shorter than 1/3 of paragraph's width, and must be aligned too if it is longer than 2/3.

12) What's with layout engine in general? Is it TeX' box-and-glue model? Is orphan/widow control customizable?

13) What's about non-rectangular images?
13.a) Alpha channel support for runaround?
13.b) Additional vector path for runaround?
13.c) Choice should image be trimmed or become background?

14) What's about images and other objects on the double-page spread?

15) What's about layouts typical for magazines, like "Cosmopolitan"? It is weakest point of TeX-like DTP systems :-(

> If any of the planet saving meat substitute promises are true, such a fake meat patty would cost a tenth of the beef equivalent and it would dominate the market.

Products can fail even if everything promised is delivered. This is why the supermarket Tesco gave up on trying to enter the USA market.

Or why I can't get Quorn here in Germany even though I personally think it's a much better taste and texture than any of the Rügenwalder Mühle brands.

Or why I can get Sauerkraut juice here, but not in the UK.
Love this program. Means I can write in plain text, markdown or zim-wiki syntax, and export to word no hassles.

If I'm writing markdown I use pandocs version as it has support for advanced tables.

Brilliant software.
I agree. I used ChatGPT to boostrap a coding session in which I was using a library to describe data structures. My steps were
- ask for documentation and examples relevant to the task ahead.
- produce some examples
- tweak the example using domain-like data
- propose a solution using the lib as is
- ask for a solution using a different convention than the classic one

i kind of think about this as a REPL assistant.

I’m vegetarian (several years now) and I agree with you. Meat has its problems, but our bodies make very good use of it.

Long list of chemicals with unproven value? We have a bad track record with trying to engineer our own ‘healthy’ food. See: margarine for example.

Impossible/beyond is great as a vegetarian as a rare treat (different flavors than normal veggies, loaded with umami — I don’t love them or anything but there are some recipes they work well with). I might have it once every couple months or so, often when a thoughtful friend invites me to their bbq and brings some impossible patties so I’m not left out...

But to actually use it as a meat replacement, like for several meals per week? It feels like we’re going to look back on that in 30 years like we do now for margarine.

PS: there are a million delicious vegetarian dishes that don’t need any fake meat, you kind of stop wanting the impossible/beyond stuff after you’re vegetarian for a little while

Being overweight and obese are alongside alcohol and tobacco in the biggest causes of ill health and misery. In the UK 64% of the adult population are overweight/obese, in the states it's over 70% (if I remember correctly).

Alongside a myriad of other issues, the state of my countries national health cripples the healthcare system we have, which obstructs healthcare access even for those who live a healthier lifestyle.

One McDonalds Happy Meal isn't the same as one cigarette, but the much greater abundance of people who eat junk food as opposed to those that smoke or drink (both rapidly diminishing statistics) makes the food industry just as responsible, if not moreso.

Fast food and junk food companies sit on the sidelines providing all of the ammunition, while taking none of the responsibility. They'll do everything to keep their prices as low as possible, weaving their products into traditional life (chocolate Easter eggs, the abundance of chocolate at Christmas, a pack of crisps being a typical component of an office workers lunch) and oppose any taxes and regulation to obstruct their profits.

The most they do is to tell people to eat moderately, and link to a website that nobody will ever visit, but then they make their packaging appealing to children, hold prices low and have their products featured in grabbing distance at supermarket checkouts.

I'll admit entertainment isn't really on the same scope directly, but you still have people wrecking their lives by prioritising it over education/work. That can provide a serious knock-on effect to poverty and ill-health etc. Many video games and social network products (ie. TikTok) are designed especially to be addictive. The creators know their products are addictive, and don't hold responsibility for the impact that may have on a good proportion of their customers.

Similar to the question when did 'app' replace 'program'.
I do have (or at least understand) that expectation.

Historically (90's, early 00's) in Windows, which had 95% of market share, almost any settings screen would only apply the settings you changed after you pressed the "Apply" button (apply the settings and stay in the screen) or "Save" (apply the settings and close the screen).

I'm not sure how Mac OS X fared in that regard. But, for some older people, "click an option and it's immediately active" is not how it was in the past.
Beyond burger or what was the one that was hyped 3 years ago was really good in my opinion. Especially on a burger with some sauce and other taste things.

The only thing you really shouldn't do is mix real meat and fake meat. A natural thing to do is order two burgers, and compare them. Whatever you eat first will taste fine, whatever you eat second is extremely gross.
I avoided all this smart speaker stuff by going for a Marshall Acton II in the kitchen (music via Bluetooth). My wife uses Amazon or Apple music and I use Subtracks on Android to play to it.

I run a Pi4 running a Navidrome instance after spending a long time ripping all my thousands of CDs.

The Pi goes via a USB audio interface (better than the audio output on the Pi) and an EQ (Behringer DCX2496) to a set of Yamaha HS8s. I am pretty sure that works out cheaper than buying a pair of Apple speakers.

You can use Mopidy to get it to play audio on the Pi over the speakers (as in, use Mopidy mobile to tell the Pi to play from its local library of mp3s, out to its connected speakers). I use this for playing guitar along to songs without having to look at a computer screen.

Alternatively the Pi also acts as an Airplay receiver so you can play from your iPhone to it, either from your Apple/Amazon music subscription or via a Sonic API compatible app.

From Windows you can pipe your audio remotely to it using palink to stream your local audio to the Pi (it runs a pulseaudio player via SSH if I recall correctly). I actually use that to run Studio One on a PC in a room upstairs but sit on a Linux laptop in the sunshine, RDPing to the PC but listening to the audio over palink (better quality audio than RDP).

Adding a Wireguard server to the Pi (and pihole) and putting the VPN on my phone and I can stream my music whilst out and about and also get all adverts/home dialling blocked. I also gave my brother VPN access but to the specific IP instead of routing all traffic over it so he can enjoy my music too.

Best of all worlds and no vendor lock-in.
"the right side is on" – i'm afraid to bring up, is it so in RTL locales too?

Doesn't crush the AI AlphaZero the software Stockfish?
Yes, AlphaZero needs more resources - especially for training.
But it learns chess from scratch by self playing - in a few hours, without any data from over 1000 years of humankind chess experience.
Deep Blue was more like Stockfish than AlphaZero.
They called it AI - but its not an AI in the sense of AlphaZero, it was an expert system like Stockfish with special search algorithms. They just needed such a big machine, because this is just like CPU power developed.
So I think the term "Bitter Lesson" is a very good match for chess too.
A modern AI plays 4 hours from level "very stup... beginner" to "better than any human or machine in the world". It doesn't need a bunch of human super experts, that inject the complete human chess knowledge into specialized databases.
This is bitter - isn't it?

The problem with the "10x engineer" topic is: what is X?

How can you compare two engineers? Do you compare a junior against a senior? If you do compare two seniors, how do you make sure they are "comparable"? Perhaps they have different backgrounds (e.g., mathematician vs computer scientist) and one of them is so good at topic A, while the other is a genius at topic B.

I am a 10x engineer if you compare me with my junior colleagues. I have no idea how I do compare with my senior colleagues because they are good at things I'm not and the other way around: that's what makes a good team actually.

> So I think this myth is propagated by those who aren't 10x engineers and just want to give up before getting there.

Who wants to be a 10x engineer?
While I think that's somewhat true to a degree, I think that might be largely because where checkboxes are used (on desktop), there are normally OK or Apply buttons which do the actual action, whereas where toggles are used, things are normally "live", and so they don't have OK or Apply buttons...
Checkboxes can be just as usable but they're often smaller and often more tightly spaced, which can be a pain to navigate on a touchscreen.

I'm not saying that's a good reason, but it is a reason besides being newer.

Someone fire Apple's UI/UX team, and bring back the people from the Leopard era who actually understood the value of an understated, predictable and standardized UI.
I'm glad that you know the right is on.. but I don't. I live in a country with a right to left language system. Things locally, done in the local language are right side is off. Things internationally behave the way you've mentioned. Checkboxes are infinitely better, because they're not language dependent.

This is an incredible source of frustration - and one that comes up often. As a native speaker of multiple languages, I always pause and do a double-take in order to actually "see" the language, given that I usually don't notice.

Dairy is much less of an environmental concern than beef (not sure about chicken). If the concern is animal welfare, then yes it's still a horror story in many ways, but not everyone who is pushing away from meat has the same reasons.

Well, we do have "Nafri" (North AFRIcans), "Ausländer" (foreigners, but only used for "problematic" foreigners somehow), "Migrationshintergrund" (migration background, meaning everyone who is an immigrant, and anyone related to them for two generations, regardless of nationality), "Südländer" (initially people from the south, such as Italians, Greeks, Jugoslavians, but nowadays "people coming from the middle east"), and - now that the latter has become a charged term - "West-Asians", officially sanctioned by the Berlin police HQ as a non-racially-loaded term, but meaning the same.

The euphenism treadmill is strong over here as well.

"For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." - Audre Lorde

Lorde asked, “What does it mean when the tools of a racist patriarchy are used to examine the fruits of that same patriarchy?” And she responded, “It means that only the most narrow perimeters of change are possible and allowable.”

Replace "patriarchy" with "oligarchy" and the same wisdom rings true.

If your eARC TV has a ATV 4K hooked up, then a pair of HomePods can be wireless Atmos speakers for anything hooked to TV, such as an Xbox console. Still works for music, without TV on, just push to the ATV's AirPlay name.

You don't need a receiver / AVR, this lets the eARC tv drive HomePods.
Maybe we are appers and not programmers.
It's not always that bad (though often); it depends on the shop. Rummage sales are better: the people organising them tend to not filter out books or records as a rule (church rummage sales in particular are good), because those things were donated explicitly for the purpose of selling them for some benefit, and reselling second hand stuff isn't their core business anyway.

Not for me, labels like that confuse me even more. I rather have just "X" with a checkbox next to it. The root issue are negations like "disable X".

> It's about higher math dude.

It's about a formula (another word for algorithm) for computing the determinant, it's not like they shat a new theorem in category theory.

And however higher-mathy that may be, a link to a chunk of python code implementing the formula certainly would not have been detrimental to the paper.

Unless of course all of the other higher math folks would look down upon a despicable math researcher that would dare spoil a perfectly honorable higher math research paper by adding disgustingly usable code to it.

Think of the insult!

People could even get down to running the code just to check that the formula actually works !

Ivory tower much ?
That's odd. I was sure Berkeley provided access to course material to the public.
You should watch some of the interviews Jarred has given. Don't have any links, but searching "jarred sumner bun" on YT will bring some stuff up. His ideas for Bun are very different to a stock-standard hosting and he's thinking very long term.

> I dont understand the obsession with reproducing meat out of plants.

I don't understand why someone has to bring this up every. single. time.

People like meat.
Those same people may want to become vegetarian for ethical reasons.
They still like meat though.

Oh look, a product that can fit in that "I like meat" slot without killing animals. Sounds tasty.

What else is there to understand?
I recall when I was in the states budget king was doing an impossible whopper for the same price as a standard whopper.

And the taste was pretty equivalent. Obviously a Burger King beef patty is not a premium product, so that’s not an impressive feat from a taste perspective. But as a replacement for mediocre quality beef, it seemed like a winner.

I assumed at the time tho that the price was subsidised. And I’m not sure if Burger King still offers this.

Another anecdote, a year or so back, in Australia, the meat alternatives were being heavily discounted in Cole’s (major supermarket), which I assumed was due to poor sales. At 50% off it was an easy buy. But when the cost is significantly higher than meat I’m less interested.
