I really dislike posts that attempt to present their opinion as a new sort of dogma. I argue that this is one of those because his intro specifically mentions teaching junior developers as a senior developer and code smells. Bootstrap and Tailwind have completely different strengths. I don't really see them as in competition with each other.

His most valid point is how hard is to customize bootstrap theming options. The rest of his points are just a matter of taste.

Luckily, if you google for "free bootstrap theme builder", there are several free sites that let you point and click your way to whatever fonts, colors, etc. you want in bootstrap then download a bootstrap.css file that is a drop-in replacement for the one that ships out of the box.

I'm not saying ADHD doesn't exist or that there are not people who need medication to assist them.

I just believe that its so overly diagnosed these days. It's similar to depression. It's very common to just throw drugs at the problem when some people don't need drugs, they need a lifestyle change, sometimes that means using drugs to begin with as a bridge to a lifestyle change.

But we are in this weird state where people go to a doctor and its like "oh you sneezed? here take these 15 drugs" "how do you feel, on can't focus, must be ADHD, take this" "oh you feel down, must be depression, take these 6 drugs"

Sometimes I feel like we treat a problem before we diagnose the problem.
Yeah, I definitely know what you mean.

If it were a headline in the NYT or the New Yorker, I would definitely take issue with it.

But when I scroll Google News, headline exaggeration is just so common I'm almost blind to it now, like I don't care. Any headline I read, I think -- "what is the tiniest most innocent interpretation of this salacious headline" and boom, that's what the article is actually about.

In this particular case, Pfizer made a choice that could have affected who voted for Trump an eensy teensy tiny bit, and almost surely did by some infinitesimal amount, so it's not technically untrue to say they "affected" the election, and while "affecting" and "fixing" an election are different, they're close enough that the headline writer can supposedly claim plausible deniability about the difference, especially when you can argue that "fixing" an election is a point of view, an opinion, not a fact. (Yes I'm aware of how contorted this is, that's the whole point.)

> if we aren't willing to enforce even a minimal standard on what should be intended as a factual statement

Honestly I lament it just as much as you do. But when news is provided by for-profit corporations and this kind of exaggeration drives clicks... how are we ever going to go back? I don't see the solution here, so I guess I've just kind of given up on even trying to believe headlines. No different from "our fabric softener is 70% more effective than the leading competitor!" You just kind of stop being annoyed by everything being extreme exaggeration and cherry-picking, because how else are you going to preserve your mental health and not just be angry at everything you read all the time, you know?

It is easy to get swept into an information bubble where you end up exchanging messages/comments will like minded fools. In the old days such people were laughed at and mostly harmless. Dumb ideas, like vaccines causing autism, would not have as many ardent proponents without the internet. Humanity is not ready for the easy dissemination and siloing of information.
Then, sadly, you are even more wrong than before when I gave you the benefit of the doubt. 30s Germany got their stuff under control for reasons that are kinda frowned upon these days ( actual fascism - as in convergence of state control and private sector, waging war and annexing parts of Europe for lebensraum, removing from society perceived outsiders, dissidents and other undesirables and so on ). I would like to think you are not suggesting those solutions implemented.

If you would like to rebut, please give me the 'good policies', 30s Germany implemented. I worry that may you have the 'national socialism' part confused at best.

<< Post war Germany was hallowed out and the nation is a husk of what it once was, basically a US vassal state.

Somewhat accurate. How would explain the Nordstream debacle then?

edit: I decided to pre-empt it a little. I am not interested in discussing whether fascism was left or right wing ideology. I had this argument before it gets ridiculous fast. I am going to bow out should it happen here.
I've always maintained that if for-profit corporations are people, they are psychopaths. There's no mechanism for empathy in corporate structure, and indeed actual psychopaths are overrepresented in corporate boardrooms. Combined with the top-down nature of a corporation, where rules are made at the top and projected down onto employees that must comply or be cast out of the corporation, this makes corporations akin to totalitarian dictatorships, with the CEO in the role of Dear Leader. Often they even expect to be treated explicitly as such.

I much prefer a more democratic system of work. I wouldn't tolerate a totalitarian government at the national level, why would I willingly subject myself to one at my workplace for 40+ hours a week? I want a vote on my role, who my boss is, and what rules I have to follow. Most importantly, I want the executives' votes to count just as much as any employee's, and I want them to be bound as well by the rules we all vote on.

Turns out such entities are not as optimized at extracting wealth for shareholders, but they still do a decent job, and in my experience are far more aligned with community interests. In the future, I hope for more democratic corporate structures to become more popular, because I think the totalitarian profit-above-all model of a corporation has reached its limit.
The United States could clarify the waters by releasing more information, including the high-resolution photographs is has of the objects it shot down. They may either be doing psyops on us, or withholding crucial information about something that all of humanity has a right to know about. I don't know what to believe about any of this, except that our government so far has treated us plebs with contempt.

I reject the notion that keeping us in a state of ignorance will ultimately make us safer.
Coincidentally, I just tried this yesterday and it was a good experience. No setup time, I just clicked to the left of a line of code to set a breakpoint, and then clicked the debug icon instead of the run icon. The local variable viewer was good enough for me.
No, lame duck administrations are when you’re in office with a selected successor.

Both of the laws referenced were very strategic laws that largely accomplished their purpose. The ACA in particular was designed to appeal to republicans first - it was in alignment with old guard GOP values. It patched some of the holes in healthcare (pre existing conditions, etc) and drove the economic activity that will drive future universal healthcare (the consolidation of providers into health networks) when political conditions allow.

Overall US governance is deliberately designed to make doing something impossible. Think of any issue of the day that would benefit from Federal action. In general, nothing at all happens unless it’s some spin on an existing law.

That’s a big if. They took out huge loans for the acquisition, which means big interest payments added on.

My impression was more that he just wanted to do Star Trek but the studios were like "it'll be funny right???". And so he went along with it at first, but dropped it as time went on.

On a related note, I've been rewatching Enterprise and I didn't know Seth MacFarlane made 2 cameo appearances in the series! (In two different seasons too.)
Indeed - mostly twitter has survived.

The user exodus to Mastodon seems to have stopped. The service is still mostly up and working. Most of the big advertisers seem to be there again.

AlphaFold has much greater utility and its trained model parameters can be downloaded.
In my experience, bad mental models in medicine lead to all kinds of horrors for entire classes of patients. If they decide to call it a genetic disorder, they throw their hands in the air and give up on actually making you better and trot out phrases designed to politely break you of demanding such, like "the normal progression...", a phrase intended to make you accept that you will get steadily worse, you hurtling towards your death is nothing to be concerned about and please stop annoying your doctor by expecting real help.

You don't need any of that, all you need to do is collect personal weather station data and use it to statistically post-process/correct numerical model output that is already freely available. This has already been done several times over in the weather industry; it doesn't lead to much of an improvement in forecast quality.

Trying to run your own model with nearby inputs is kind of pointless because to actually assimilate measurements in your neighborhood, you'd have to run at an absurdly high resolution that makes it way too expensive to run an operational forecast as a commodity. You'd be limited in the size of the forecast domain, so within a few hours (maybe a day at most), your forecast would be dominated by boundary conditions from the parent regional/global models you force it with, and there would be no further propagation of information from your local observations to refine the forecast.

There is a Haskell IDE available in the MacOS Apple Store than has a similar live view feature. I don’t much use this IDE, but it is cool.
From the article:

> SPARC didn’t keep its edge. The x86 platform became extremely competitive with the arrival of AMD64. The 64 bit x86 machines were cheaper than SPARC machines, and when coupled with Linux they could run all of the UNIX software any web company needed. This fact was proven by the likes of Google and Facebook. The core of Sun’s business was destroyed.
Yea. The last half of season 1 it starts to become more just Star Trek. Season 2 and 3 are straight Star Trek. I really enjoyed them.
Becuase it’s obnoxious to manage. Use a network level blocker like PiHole or NextDNS which has much more usability imho.
Browsing ClinVar for ADHD-related variants shows that most of the correlations are very weak. That is to say, you can have several of these variants and your chances of having ADHD are only marginally increased. There is no “ADHD gene”. Contrary to what this headline might imply, genetics aren’t diagnostic for ADHD.

This is the challenge with communicating genetic testing results: People frequently get their test results, go searching for a specific condition like ADHD, find a couple variants linked to ADHD, and assume it’s proof that they have ADHD.

The truth is that when there are 27 variants linked to ADHD, chances are very good that everyone who goes looking will have at least one of these variants. That does not mean they have ADHD, though.

The article also buries this seemingly important point that the variants studied were also heavily correlated with psychiatric disorders in general:

> Bivariate Gaussian mixture modeling estimated that 84–98% of ADHD-influencing variants are shared with other psychiatric disorders.

When the correlation approaches 98% I’m confused as to why they chose ADHD as the headline instead of psychiatric conditions in general? I suspect they know that ADHD headlines are trending right now while psychiatric conditions and depressive disorders haven’t been normalized in the same way in social media and pop culture in 2023.
I'm sure you're a great person and not a secret agent (I mean this lol). But anyone who is even slightly following this situation (or has lived through it), will know that the argument you present is the exact kind of propaganda that is used by authoritarian regimes to make people fearful of change.

Newtonian physics is not "a hack". It yields very precise results for simple gravitational interactions, at least up to the point where relativistic effects begin to dominate. Even Einstein's equations are not 100% "perfect". All mathematical models have their limitations. (Although some do produce better approximations than others.)
Browsers provide the tool to save those pages (ctrl+s), in what way is it different? Honest question, as I'm building something that could be impacted.
> But like you, when somebody is doing business with the public, I think we should expect to know who they are.

If you want public accountability, then start with the legislators.

I'll give you an example, the state claims to have the publics interest at heart, especially kids, so why dont they teach law to kids at school?

You cant assume parents have the best interests of their kids at heart. Some state employees will abuse their own kids in order to further the science that wouldn't have got past a University's ethics board!

Where is the public holding the state to account, when it hides behind its own legislated secrecy?

So when you say "by all means let's keep each other feeling safe" do you really mean that or are just satisfying some subconscious desire to divide people?

There were 25 years between those two events though, so it's hard to draw a direct line. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that the Islamic Revolution would've happened even without the 1953 coup d'état and the economic growth that followed it.
There was a similar addon many years back called ThirdVoice or something like that with the same idea. A question I had for them and I suppose it applies here is, does your addon only query your site when the person presses a button or does it send browsing data for all sites to you without user interaction? This would come up as a matter of privacy/tracking.

TNG started as an 80s show and went into the 90s. It first aired in 1987, still during the Cold War, and had 4 seasons out before the Cold War is usually considered as ended. Three seasons aired after the Cold War. It was utopian even before the Cold War had ended, not just after and not because of its ending.
Yeah, right? You'd be amazed about what people can achieve with bash scripts and kubernetes containers.

The crux of my argument is: you probably don't need postgres in kubernetes on the cloud (just use the damn cloud api to manage your database), but if for any reason you want to, manage a postgres with kubernetes it's like managing it with systemd.

Way more involved, but doable. Great part is: just as vast majority of people don't write their own systemd units or postgres management scripts, they can use kubernetes operators and benefit from the open source knowledge and ecosystem.
> What if I don't give a shit about what you 'tolerate' or not?

In that case you should understand that no one is obligated to hear you whining about topics, specially those you're not even willing to discuss.
Questions like what, and addressed to whom?

I think it’s important to recognize that no one is responsible for educating you. You are responsible for educating yourself. If you have chosen to be ignorant about the facts of the holocaust, and then you were to communicate your “concerns” to a Jewish person about the accuracy of the historical narrative, or perhaps question whether it was as bad as most people believe it was, or even worse, whether it happened at all, then I really don’t think it’s their responsibility to address you in a kind and loving manner.

And it is really, truly, absolutely not their fault if you then decide to become an antisemitic holocaust denier and/or white supremacist.

It’s common journalistic practice. That’s one of the benefits of reporting in mainstream media, they have pretty high standards for what gets published.

That doesn’t mean they’re always right or there aren’t bad journalists, but if you spend time listening to most journalists explain their reporting they often explain exactly how they verify their stories, what they went through to get sources, and what they were and weren’t able to report.

Journalism is one of the few ways we have in a democracy to hold power to account. What I don’t get is what a lack of faith in this institution does for us except give those in power even more ways to be unaccountable for what they do.
This describes the current situation in Russia with Putin surrounded by yes men. But it is not true about China where officials are frequently fired loosing pretty much everything. I.e. if one always say yes in China, the consequences for not delivering are high so one is under the pressure to say no at least sometimes.

There are indications that even in Russia Putin got that and tried to introduce harsher punishments than assigning the failed official to less prestigious positions. But it seems they did too little too late.
