Or more objectively, they see murder rates literally doubling from 1964-1974, a rise never before seen in American history. They see a massive drug epidemic and an entirely unprecedented breakdown in the family unit that results in literally millions of children born to single mothers. They see a collapse of social institutions coinciding with an again unprecedented rise in suicides and antisocial activities. They see cities like Detroit, Newark (and to varying degrees nearly every other major city in the US) begin rapid declines that haven't been reversed to this day. Then they look to every other Western country that experienced the same "counterculture" in the same period and see these same issues to a similar or even greater extent.

It is either incredibly ignorant or intentionally dishonest to pretend that the 1960s counterculture was some uniformly benevolent force for peace and love, and says a lot about the person claiming so's lack of ability to see anything outside their contemporary/status-quo perspective.

>the shuttle could theoretically launch in a trajectory from Vandenburg, CA south towards and over Antarctica

Having spent time at the South Pole, the ice runway at the South Pole Station was sized and built and in part funded by NASA to handle the scenario in which a shuttle on a trajectory that took it over the pole found itself in need of an emergency divert runway.
Would you spend $500 at the grocery store to buy 3000 calories worth of fruits and vegetables if you could instead spend $10 to buy 3000 calories worth of steak? Consider the fact that fruits and vegetables contain fiber, which human beings cannot digest, whereas steak does not.
Very similar observations about software trends and quality.
Particularly the trends to remove essential functionality like one importat example in Windows 11 that you cannot put task bar on left or right side of screen and using ungrouped and fully labeled items. It's de facto unusable for my case because I need a lot of different windows with constant context switching between and was totally lost (went back Windows 10). Left/right taskbar has all items exactly the same place where opened, enought text to instantly indentify what program and what document/IP address etc. it contains, nothing moves itself and it's almost muscle memory to glance and see what program and window I need to open the current moment.

It's not the most popular use case for sure but if even 0.1% users like developers or other multitask heavy workers need similar overview on desktop workspace then that is like ignoring 10 million users. And for what? So that company can optimize away like two workers on Windows UI team for 6 months effort. Instead released broken Windows to RTM and 2 years later still essential functionality missing.

There have been problems in this area before, like Windows ME and some but those were more like broken drivers and things that were not or at least did not seem to be intentionally broken, just bad quality. Now there are more problems that are literally in the genre of f. u. user, we do what we want and optimize everything to 51% users, if you are in 49% then good luck.

Maybe need to adapt and accept that everything needs tinkering, third party tools and constant management after updates to be barely usable, still not fond of this method but what are the options any more.
I don't think the government should be concerned with a $10 overcharge on your bill that takes a 15 minute phone call to fix.

Well, it seems that hacker culture and open source software would be the antidote to all these.

Web2 and Web3 have been captured by the profit motive. Web2 with professional VCs and Web3 with everyone playing VC. Web1 was very much a countercultural movement.

I've been part of the IndieWeb, DecentralizedWeb, OfflineFirst movements, met with Tim Berners-Lee, just finished an interview with Noam Chomsky and David Harvey (raw video here: https://vimeo.com/795006182/31cdfcf335). I've written about what needs to happen on the Web for it to change (https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-a-web-that-lost-its-way-c...)

It's hard to have a counterculture when the dominant tools are all owned by huge corporations and governments. Here is some open source software to get you started if you're interested:

They don't (legally) on city property. That's what we're talking about. If you move into a neighborhood where the city maintains the trees in the common areas (sidewalks, parks, etc.), it's not unreasonable to want to put a barrier between the city deciding, for example, it's too expensive to keep maintaining those trees so they are going to cut them all down.

If I or my neighbor wants to cut down a tree is a completely different conversation.

I appreciate your snark though, even though it's completely irrelevant.

An extension of this is externalizing costs.

Like hiring janitorial services instead of employing janitors, every decoupling of the system adds overhead. The people who could be recognized for being a good employee and offered other better positions are now often rigidly locked into low-wage labor permanently because no companies are willing to train people.

This is part of what is causing the rapidly rising inequality and college expenses. Many jobs that can be easily taught through apprenticeships and progressive responsibilities are being outsourced to colleges and universities, which were never meant to be all-encompassing career skills schools.

It also weakens companies' social contract, leading to even worse stewardship.

Those two pages disagree. Your quote is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_707, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_367-80 has "The Dash 80 fuselage was wide enough at 132 inches (335 cm) for five-abreast seating; two on one side of the aisle and three on the other. The fuselage diameter for the production KC-135 was widened to 144 inches (366 cm) and Boeing originally hoped to build the 707 fuselage with that width. By the time the Boeing company committed to production, the decision had been made to design the production model 707 as a six-abreast design"

Sure, if that were true. But it's not. Anyone who can understand college algebra can understand woodworking concepts, because woodworking concepts have virtually no cognitive complexity.

Apparently, both companies cared. Cared deeply. Hence the coordinated firing.

Quite literally, employment contracts stipulate Basic requirements such as working hours and availability.

If an employee says he's pulling 40h/week but he's actually pulling around 20h/week, if that, then the question of fraud is up.

If this was supposed to be a non-issue, why go through so much trouble to hide it?
This seems pretty interesting.
If you randomly generate numbers using `math/rand`, then every invocation of your program is going to see the same sequence of "random" numbers. If you happen to persist those random numbers and expect a uniform distribution, you're going to be sadly surprised in the future.

It's the kind of "bug" that doesn't manifest until your data is thoroughly boned.

Every discussion about college success rates that I have been a part of revolved around faculty not doing their job correctly. The latest fashion is doing “trauma informed teaching”. Every reform in math teaching is about the need to change teaching to get more students to succeed. Never is there is a discussion about what percent of the population can learn, say, college algebra. The assumption of all of our duty days (days devoted to student success rates) is that more students can pass our classes than do pass.

A majority of incoming college students place into pre-college level courses. A recent trend is to ban pre-college level courses and instead do supplemental instruction in college algebra. Too many students are underprepared so we ban the courses to get them prepared. It is now a trend to no longer require college algebra level knowledge to get a college degree. The only reason for this trend is because a lot of people fail college algebra.

The only discussion I’ve seen regarding limits to learning algebra is at this link:

> We've had some truly nasty bugs from people who weren't familiar with the prior behavior of having a default seed of zero for the global random-number generator. This is going to save many people so much heartache.

Agreed, but worth nothing that this does not make it cryptographically secure. The output can still be predicted. For cryptographic security, you need crypto/rand: https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rand

In general, my advice is to use the cryptographically secure RNG unless you specifically know you need reproducibility (e.g. scientific simulation, or map generation in video games). With non-secure RNGs, it's very easy to accidentally expose yourself to problems without realizing it.

(Also, FYI, the default seed was 1, not 0).

I need someone to own our data platform. We are hiring in GMT-3 to GMT-8. You will be responsible for the technical vision and setting best practices in an event-driven architecture. We are a seed stage startup, only 6 developers. We want people who want to be part of a small team, take on massive ownership, and deliver to customers.

Factor is supply chain management solution to bring structure, data, and modern platform tooling to the world of manufacturing. $14T is spent on manufacturing goods.

We provide a common way to get insight from your vendors and data to know how to select the best one for your job.

Having the seed value set to the same value at run time will cause the pseudorandom number generator to produce the same sequence of values. In essence just creating a new random number generator in go w/o setting the seed will not actually generate random values.

> You'll have no problem finding countless examples of weird things that have been viewed and interacted with by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

I don't think how widespread a piece of media is has a strong correlation with its impact. Yes, several billion people probably know who Grumpy Cat is. But it doesn't matter. Our awareness of Grumpy Cat doesn't change how we think about the world, how we live, how we relate to others. It's just a shared but otherwise mostly meaningless experience, like seeing a rainbow.

The Beat Generation was a relatively tiny subculture whose work at the time was consumed by a small number of people. But we remember them because the work they created mattered. It said something meaningful about the culture it was a reaction to and by doing that, it forced that culture to change.

Beats, hippies, punks, maybe early hackers were all countercultures because they in some way bent the arrow of history. There are no shortage of subcultures today, and they are great for finding people you share interests. But they don't have the same impact as a real counterculture.

Because python got a half baked, overall poor quality type hinting system so devs that haven’t been exposed to the benefits of eg. Typescript don’t understand why this is better.

Many of us in the python community know the benefits, and we’re simply changing our stack so python is as contained as possible, and dropping lower quality libraries for higher quality typed ones.
> I care a lot about this stuff

Honest question, why?

I am generally favourable to limiting the tracking we allow companies to perform at the legislative level because I'm pretty sure they are going to end up doing something nefarious to some group at some point going after a quick buck. I don't think the government should hold more than necessary because I fear what they can find in the aggregate.

But on a personnal level? What do you gain from going to extreme to avoid the surveillance you think you know? It seems to be a hassle with no upside.
Thanks for the great app man! You may not have even realized this, but this was randomly crashing only a few versions ago, and you just recently pushed an update that did something to the Replace w/ Javascript functionality that fixed it.

> in touch with the bill sponsors and [are] cognizant of the significant problem of racial inequity in our health system that has left BIPOC communities disproportionately impacted by organ and marrow shortages.

On the other hand said communities are overrepresented in the prison system, so you could spin this on its head and see it as organ harvesting targeted at minority communities

Which oddly enough seems like a more likely side effect than addressing related quote. Also consider that rich (likely white) people are given priority for organ donation

Looks like the more things change, the more they remain the same
