I am Indian and I absolutely detest the caste system we have back home. I grew up with people from multiple castes and backgrounds and witnessed the kind of discrimination faced by seemingly lower caste people.
Unfortunately, some educated yet stubborn brutes from India that end up immigrating to other countries try to spread this disease and separatism among others as well. They are the worst kind of scum India has ever produced.

It is also unfortunate and silly that a lot of those entitled upper-caste people have a false sense of supremacy because of no reason other than belonging to a specific caste, even if it gave them no practical advantage. As someone who witnessed multiple events of discrimination and meaningless hatred, I was able to spread this awareness to my friends and within my social circle in hopes that they can try to help someone somewhere and help more people get that awareness.

Another potentially upsetting fact is that a shocking majority of politicians who don't do any real things for the society retort to caste-based unification to gain support and votes from people belonging to certain castes. It's ridiculous that this one blinding blanket called "caste" also helps reap a lot of votes and popularity for them.

There is some good news here as well - cities and new generations of youth seem to be developing maturity and also at the same time holding little to no regard for caste system anymore. I urge you all Indians to do the same and kill the fucking bitch of that caste system once and for all. Feel free to encourage more inter-cast, inter-religion marriages, and shut down people who initiate those caste-supremacy talks at any point, regardless of who they are. Good changes in society always start with not being afraid.
Exactly. Linux isn't a standard, it's an implementation and that comes with many benefits. Some downsides also like you noted but generally speaking more good than bad.

I prefer a world where we can have WebSQL over a world where it's killed because Mozilla says that we need to build a new implementation of SQLite just because standardisation.

Obviously lots of people feel differently but my opinion is that standards don't really matter that much when every browser chooses to implement each standard slightly differently.
>But leave any cultural baggage that’s going to cause you to discriminate against anyone else here behind. Same goes for any wars or desire to harm others.”

I think this is utterly impossible and a ridiculous thing to expect from immigrants. You're asking them to stop being human. Of course immigrants are going to bring all their cultural baggage with them; it's impossible for them not to. People are a product of the environment they grew up in. You can't expect to just grab a person from some random place on the planet, drop them into an entirely alien new country, and have them magically assimilate in any short period of time. Generally, they never do: their kids do, however.

Softbank followed the same strategy except they are in serious debt. I think at some point they could be forced into liquidation and it will drive the second leg down for the tech market.

Switzerland being one of the wealthiest countries in the world with a very good social setup may have something to do with that. In quite a few countries your whole social security payment and then some would be eaten up by rent if you're still renting at that point. Hence the existence of trailer parks and such niceties in other parts of the world.
Socrates was worried that writing, the then new invention, will cause forgetfulness.

> The people who invent something new, create a new tool or technology, are not necessarily the people who are going to understand what the social impact of those inventions will be.

>> And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.

>> What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only the semblance of wisdom, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much while for the most part they know nothing. And as men filled not with wisdom but with the conceit of wisdom they will be a burden to their fellows.

That is because they think of that as active time. For instance windows updates probably waste much more time (and are much more annoying), not to mention all the individual app updates also popping up to take a few minutes at a time. Yet, when you ask people about how much time they spend maintaining windows, they will say zero.

Anyways, my impression on debian stable would also be that I spend about zero hours for 3 years until there is a major upgrade (which is basically starting the upgrade and then drinking coffee until it is done). However, I am probably also wrong about that and actually spend a few seconds here and there on changing a wallpaper, seeing what is new in a new Firefox version etc. Summed up over a month that might actually be many minutes, but it does not feel like it.
I'm too out of date. I haven't even been on the Stanford campus since the pandemic started.

How are they zoned? Probably for suburban subdivisions and not for highrises. You can find new suburban subdivisions in LA too if you go all the way out into san bernardino or riverside county, and in those cases too its because these areas recently changed zoning from agriculture to low density residential development, and builders are building to the limits of what the land is zoned for. Apartments are so popular that developers often try to get variances to zoning for their projects, to add even more units than what the lot is zoned for. If there wasn't demand for that a developer would not bother.

"Some" is a pretty broad term. It can't really be a cover up if the claim is that vauge. Like "some" can mean anything from nothing at all to total dead zone.
The other day, my two and half year old asked what being "alive" meant. My wife went off on a tear about breathing and stuff which confused it even more. I explained that being alive meant that you could have more birthdays.

His eyes widened and was able to answer questions about whether the chair was alive or not. He said not because we have never celebrated a chair's birthday.

> 2,000 years encompasses the Middle Ages

Err, ~ 850 years, maybe 1,000 years at most, from the fall of Rome ( ~470 CE ) to the beginning of the 14th Century (1301 CE) perhaps to 1501 CE depending on your historian of choice.

This /etc/apt/world system is pretty cool, I often wished apt would work this way.

even the most resilient trees can't sprout in winter...

blablabla.

but of course the truth is that it's not the entire industry, it's not just the Fed, that fucking disruptive book is bullshit (most disruptors end up losing out as incumbents adopt), and the making the world a better place gang has 100000 spreadsheets and infinite amount of malaria bednets, but all they managed to do so far is that everyone and their dog now only associates them with that fallen crypto kid.

a bit more importantly, these super amazing "returns" and asset bubbles and stock market to the moons and quarterly make it rain bonanzas can only continue as capital amortization doesn't start eating into it hard.

and by capital I mean the culmination of the last however many decades of actual community and infrastructure building, not the nice financial instruments.

yes, low interest rates are here to stay most likely, because of all the extremely wealthy retirement funds of aging populations all over the developed world are buying safe assets, so the US Treasury can sell a lot of bonds.

the question is what are we going to do with this? the signs point to slowed incremental progress and general incompetent cycles of fake it till you make it cooperation (on all levels, from individuals to don't be evil companies to countries) and xenophobic populist outbursts of untreated change anxiety, dotted with hints of hope of more of the better stuff that's out there, like mRNA vaccines and other biotech magic, small modular nuclear reactors powering walkable cities without burning dead plankton, against a backdrop of war, pandemics, crazy AI and apathy.
> What's the use case

I think the answer is that it's a uniform piece of desktop hardware with a huge installed base. Apple's market share in the desktop space may be small compared to PC, but the PC ecosystem is heterogeneous, so the economics of supporting a large fraction of PCs is disadvantageous for open source maintenance.

If support for linux and other open source OSes on apple desktop hardware becomes a thing, it may well quickly become the best-supported and best-tested hardware of all, which would be a huge leap forward for open source on the desktop.

Besides: The relationship between Intel and open source is not exactly a love affair either. Maybe Apple will be nicer to open source, or maybe the sheer fact that there is a second hardware player in the open source desktop space will be a shift in competitive dynamics that's advantageous to open source.

A simple fact that deflates any finance wizard's claim that an economy can't succeed on "high" interest rates which are still substantially lower than in an era of significant growth. All it means is that they get a more equitable chunk of the pie rather than most of it.

I didn't know about that blog but as far as I get it they mention the IPC just as an edge case that might give a little benefit and mention overall similar performance in their summary:

> Electron and WebView2 have a number of differences, but don't expect much difference with respect to how they perform rendering web content. Ultimately, an app’s architecture and JavaScript libraries/frameworks have a larger impact on memory and performance than anything else because Chromium is Chromium regardless of where it is running.

Which does indeed make sense, Microsoft is way too focused on adding shiny new features to Teams and too little on its performance.

But anyway I hope it does make a big difference. It's really a source of frustration now.
I agree “HR departments shill on Blind” but the claim made by several people in that thread (at least one who said they are a hiring manager) that Databricks has recently hired multiple people who were laid off is verifiable as true or false. It’s not just a generic weasel statement like “it’s not our policy to…” or “we treat all applicants fairly” or something like that.
For me it would be:

> This whole thought experiment is actually presenting what is quite possibly a limitation specific to human minds - no reason to extrapolate to all possible minds. That is, human minds seem to have two very distinct ways of altering their internal state.

How to define “mind”? If all human minds turn out to have a certain property, how do we decide whether that property is essential or accidental to “being a mind”? Obviously if the property is “being human”, it can’t be essential to the property of “being a mind” (unless someone wants to claim that only humans can have minds by definition-a claim very few would make). But, if the property is “having two very distinct ways of altering their internal state”, how do we know if that is just an accidental property that all human minds happen to have, but non-human minds might lack, or an essential property of being a mind, which all minds must have to be “a mind”?
>Similar to Compose or Kubernetes files, you can declare what you want to run without having to deal with all the complexities of running the workload.

Seems to be part of the idea. However, I personally have a bit of a hard time imagining this for the average developer. Maybe it will have the nice side effect of me digging further into systemd. However, most the compose stuff I used had to do with network and mounts. Wonder how to declare this in a systemd manner.

Some people of the same sex feel differently about their bodies and their sexuality. It seems useful to me to have words to describe that difference. I don't really see an "ideology" in that any more than I see "ideology" in other cultural phenomena, e.g. "surfer dudes", "skaters", or "weed aficionados". It's only made into an ideology by people who seek divisional talking points for political discourse.

Yes, when rates are cut valuations go up. This is finance 101.

American stocks are rich because a recession and low rates are priced in. If that doesn’t happen, if rates go where the Fed forecasts, the market needs to drop.

You’re in good company, by the way. Prominent managers are long equities and quality credit [1] on the hypothesis that rate cuts will keep valuations buoyed. (It’s also why the curve is inverted [2].) This is the dominant financial debate du jour. The market (specifically: professional money managers) are fighting the Fed. (My belief is this is more tied to fees and AUM than a fundamental read on the economy.)

And it uses the 5 liter bottle to top up the separate container leaving 2 liters, and then proceeds to fill up the separate container.

Looks like it's mixing up elements of the solution to the original problem without understanding how the topping up works, with the solution to a different problem that it felt was sufficiently related. It's a wild guess based on similarity.
Almost everything has survived - I'm living in a city where buildings were mostly preserved indiscriminatingly. They're just that good.

Absent anything else, of course most people prefer to live in single-family homes (SFH). But that's not the question most people have to face in reality, because SFH have other trade-offs that that survey completely ignored, including:

- significantly higher cost (absent widespread R1 zoning, which drives the cost of apartments up),

- locations in the middle of desolate suburbia,

- dead neighbourhoods because almost no one lives there,

- very few nearby stores and restaurants,

- no or limited public transit because it costs far too much to run in sprawling suburbia,

- utter dependence on personal automobiles, and the complete lack of independence for children, young adults, and other non-driving members of society,

- the necessity of maintaining the grounds of your own personal park,

- poorly maintained or missing public infrastructure because everything is so spread out,

- having to endure endless traffic because of your 1hr commute to work,

and I could go on.

Given the above, if apartment living wasn't so heavily restricted by law, so many more people would choose to live in them rather than SFH. You only need to look at cities like Montreal or entire countries like the Netherlands to see that this is true.

In Montreal, housing is still cheap and most people live in multiplexes (walk-up two-to-four storey buildings with private front doors and small back yards) and live very close to where they work, but there are still a lot of different styles of SFH that people can choose to live in if they want, and many do. Again, look at the video I linked above for examples.

This reads like a haiku.
Perhaps in a very narrow sense, but I think it's more complicated than that.

Let's assume that there are facts that a person has a legitimate right to conceal in a particular context. What if the only way to conceal such a fact is to create a false impression?

I would hesitate to call that lying, because the word lying ususally implies that it is not legitimate, which contradicts the assumption.
> It's pretty funny that you never see these complaints

Have you missed the 2000's on the internet? All the people mocking "fundamental Christian" outrages against things like Harry Potter, Pokemon (evolution lol) and even the utterance of the word "Magic"? A group that was so wide and loud, that EA organized a false-flag protest against itself on the release of Dante's Inferno--just to get publicity and support via that group?

The reason that you "never" see those complaints is that they have won, and any mention of magic or violence being harmful in fiction is instantly ridiculed. They became invisible by actually being the norm
As someone who decidedly likes CSS I think something like this is "too clever". There are some things that should be as boring as possible. Layouts themselves are already a complex matter, so even the most boring and readable css will not be totally boring.

When I was younger I also had a phase where I liked to do things like these because I could. Nowadays I do things in a way that doesn't waste my own (or other people's) time by being too clever
Do reverse psychology i.e. how do you keep people from doing bad things?

Religions/societies around the world have different ways to maintain the order.

Hindu religion propose incarnation belief.. they say if you do bad stuff in this life, the bad stuff will happen to you in your next life and of course you won't be able to remember your previous life. It's a perfect theory because it's unfalsifiable.

And it works in India.

Of course you don't necessarily need to believe in such theories to know that you shouldn't do be doing bad stuff anyway but hey most people aren't that smart hence the unfalsifiable theory :)
