I'm going to be transparent: I'm interested in a structural analysis as to why there's a crisis of loneliness.

Humans are wired for sociality and interdependence. Our brains pretty much literally wither away, in ways, without meaningful social stimulus.

Given this, I can't immediately simply lay the blame at the feet of individuals as to why people seem increasingly lonely and thirsty for meaningful connection. So what might be some other causes for this type of isolation that seems increasingly common?
This feels like something Sydney would say.
Yep, so many blogs with a few posts where one of them explains their entire SSG set up and that's it.
You need clever middle management to navigate that. The solution is to play the fiefdoms against each other.

One way I navigated a team through this is that we just halted work on critical stuff and we doubled down as rockstars for politically important critical stuff. As each other team complained, we let the people up the chain kill each other, and eventually got relief from the crazy.
Studio = Yale Investment Office, limited partner
Producer = VC, general partner leading a funding
Writer = Startup CTO, founder
Director = Startup CEO

It's a little different because studios greenlight and producers generally don't. But there are a lot more startups than movies or tv shows. Well, maybe studios don't greenlight development deals (seed startups).
Free speech has always been a red herring, as the US (in its more religious days) had laws against heresy, lewdness, and anything that didn't reflect the puritanical values of the time. Pornography is a great example, but it's not just about sex - in the 1990s, there was a push to amend the Constitution to ban burning the flag.

Like all things, the pros and cons have to be balanced. Speech impacts people, whether turning them into modern Nazis or perverted fornicators.
Ah yes, I'm a year early, thanks for pointing it out.
I've used it as my "main driver" for around 6 months last year and I can assure you it's definitely practical, you can also easily interact with the other OSes with ssh and vnc, that way I could even do some remote video calls from plan9 with the help of another linux computer for instance.
Inside Google (where everything is protobuf) there were a handful of tools like this. But the killer feature is that there was an automatically-added RPC service for introspecting the other RPC services any given server exposed. This means that there was an `ls` command for listing possible services, methods on those services and the protocol buffers for the request and response. So you didn't need to manage the source protos. You could just do something like `protocurl 10.1.2.3 MyService.MyMethod 'foo: 8 bar: "foo"'` and it put all of the pieces together.

The introspection could be a little slow if the server was far away (it added a couple round trips) but the ability to avoid knowing where the schemas were was invaluable. (I wonder if there could have also been some sort of caching to make it a bit better).
this was my experience with surgery ~5 months ago 100%. the surgery helped, but certainly didn't "fix" it in any sense of that word.

the pain was super interesting. i have pretty bad OCD and it was strange to note that there are levels of pain where anxiety (or any other thought) is just a luxury you don't have time for.

i have a new appreciation and empathy for people who suffer with chronic pain.

I would.

One of the main problems I have with shortened URLs is that they remove transparency. I have no idea where the shortened URL actually goes unless I click on it. That means that I have to blindly trust whoever is giving me the shortened URL.

In practice, that means I won't use shortened URLs unless they come from a person or company that I already trust.
Classic Clayton Christensen Innovator's Dilemna situation, with a constant disruption from below & shift upmarket. Chasing higher profitability segments while letting more and more of the market (the much bigger but lower profitability segmemt) go unserved.
Amazon is a gigantic series of 2-pizza-teams and fiefdoms. They don't talk to each other much. Just because you "work at Amazon" does not mean you have ever serviced a single customer, or gleaned the experience of the tens of thousands of engineers working there (most of whom don't know the others exist).

But even so, let's assume this person has worked directly with customers, and knows how to design for the real world. Why might someone whose job is not being a practitioner, maybe not come up with the best design?

Take for example the product "Terraform", by HashiCorp. It has severe design flaws which anyone who has been forced to use it at scale will find immediately. But the person who invented it, and its subsequent developers, follow a "philosophy" that has nothing to do with working with it in the real world. It was not created by practitioners, for practitioners, but by idealists, for a corporation to ensnare hapless clients that have sadly adopted their freeware and now need to pay for add-on software to manage it. The end result? It sucks balls.

For an Amazon-centric example, take Terraform's competitor, CloudFormation. It's even more horrible. You write your configuration in a data serialization format, in verbose and clunky huge chunks, and (afaik) can't validate or test them without applying them in the cloud. There's no modules or extensions, and it doesn't really change or improve. It's like someone decided to only build the guts of a configuration management engine and told all the users to just figure out for themselves how to use it. You still need to build a whole 'nother software project just to interface with it in a sane way.

Back to the topic: Many other policy languages and tools already exist, many of them open-source. They could have simply adapted those existing solutions and extended them to include whatever novel, genius ideas they had that those other solutions didn't have. But they didn't. Why? I have no idea. But I'm betting it's not because they couldn't write patches for the other tool.
Been there and can sympathise. After a couple of weeks you literally wonder if this is your entire life now and if you want to live like it.

In the end there is an imperative to act*. Even if we don't understand as well as we'd like, we don't get to just shrug and say "I dunno". We have to go with our best guess (perhaps hedging a bit against other possibilities) and hope for the best. Yes we might be misled by propaganda. Still we must act.

* I'm defining act broadly here as any kind of policy choice. Sending humanitarian aid, or not sending it. Sending military aid or not sending it. Voicing our support, or not voicing our support. Encouraging surrender, or not encouraging surrender.
They have NAT routing support for exposing nodes that don't/can't run tailscale. Meant that ip space
The "spiral" in "wage price spiral" implies it's a feedback loop. "shut up and accept[ing]" it would imply accepting rampant inflation like in venezuela or turkey.
If you're using ULAs, you don't NAT to avoid addressing collisions; you NAT so that your traffic is routable on the Internet. If you try to pass traffic sourced from a ULA to your upstream without NAT, it or its response is going to get dropped on the floor.
Yeah, an "SIMD" in AMD's terminology is more-or-less an independent "cpu-like" core.

Has it's own instruction decoder and multiplexes upto 16 threads of executions (wavefronts) depending on how many registers each thread needs. The SIMD has it's own register files and execution units (ALUs/FPUs).

What these SIMDs share with the other 3 SIMDs in the workgroup processor are the caches and memory subsystem (which includes texture units and RT hardware)
Was it? I get she had (and still has) a total lack of awareness of… well, anything… but I thought the problem was that that (income) tax cuts she announced weren't connected properly to the expenses in the same budget and the international markets (and IMF!) said "you can't afford this level of borrowing".

Neither rent control, for all its long term issues, nor utility bill limits were something I remember being brought up.

Council tax in particular, I think isn't done by central government? Although it probably should be, given how messed up local council funding seems to be.

If you mean why is quantum mechanics probabilistic? That's because it's the best model we have to handle many of the momentary variations in physical systems. But I'll say that determinism could still be true even if we can't make predictions. But equally, I believe that determinism can be false even if the observable universe seems well ordered. Chaos doesn't just mean random things happening without a cause that could be found. It just means that not all chains of causality can link backwards and forwards perfectly in time (i.e. some chains of causality maybe emergent at best).
Maybe if the US didn't spend about $700 billion a year on its military, it might have money to take better care of its citizens.

It's not that the US doesn't have the means. It's just clear that its priority is not improving the lives of Americans.
A lot of people think CDK is a wrong turn. CF is just data. CDK generates CF without letting you do CF level transforms. It's an imperative wrapper to a inherently functional / declarative thing, and married to JavaScript to top it off. Generally wrapping a declarative, data based expression in a Turing complete API is a backwards direction - makes it less amenable to automated reasoning and risks intertwining incidental complexity of the GP programming environment like dependency churn and breakage in there.

Terraform is better but lots of shops are wary of relying on third party foundations.
Now we need ytFS FUSE driver to random read these pattern videos. Anyone? ;)
_Atomic is indeed the correct qualifier to use for unsynchronized cross-thread access. The volatile qualifier doesn't add anything useful on top of that. Really, the only things volatile should be used for are MMIO, debugging, performance testing, and certain situations with signal handlers or setjmp within a single thread.

Also Rust's macros are logically part of Rust whereas the C preprocessor knows nothing about the C language.

Going forward, Microsoft Edge WebView2 will probably be inherent component of Windows, so they will just replace one browser for another.

For the time being, I assume EdgeHTML is still present, since I assume this is used for the compatibility mode in Edge (and for legacy WebViews).
>If you can leverage technology to improve productivity, your wages WILL go up to match it

This idea runs counter to history of industrialization and automation. If you can get the same output of six people with one person, you fire five them, because you can’t produce or sell 36x as much.
Probably we're looking at the problem from a different point of view.

Imagine I'm a new AWS customer that creates their account, starts an Elastic Beanstalk application and tries to automate deployment via CI. The access key will need some permissions to EB, EC2, S3, maybe RDS, ECR... The best thing I can do at the moment is to expect that an example policy is somewhere in the docs.

Javascript Frontend was rewritten for speed by using svelte framework instead of react framework.

Next.js was also evaluated.
This is a valid question. I'm the author of the blog and I've asked this myself in the past. The main reasons why I haven't done this so far are

- artistic freedom (regarding the form/structure, the style/tone, the interactivity),

- the process (I prefer not to have long discussions and unexpected revisions; but I must admit that I should collect actual experience in this regard),

- and the lack of attribution (part of it is certainly vanity, but I'd also like to make a living out of this at some point).
>There's lots of hardware that can run modern games in 1440p and 4K resolutions with lots of eye candy and plenty of performance for $500 available to buy right now.

Except that's the price of a full gaming console that can also get me 1440p/4k. It's ridiculous that I have to pay the same ammount of money for a GPU to get similar experience to my PS5.

Consoles were always cheaper than PC gaming, but midrange GPUs costing more than a console is a new phenomena and I doubt it's sustainable for gaming industry.
IMO making sure it looks right is just as much critical thinking as writing. The errors are quite insidious and hard to catch without paying close attention.

I feel like a lot of religious activities at temples/churches/whatever serve this purpose.

The ceremony or whatever is an excuse to get together, and most people might not really care about the beliefs portion, but it provides a backdrop to hang out as a community.
> disincentivised in society

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/society

You are society when you bring people together. You are isolated when you stay away.

I mean this literally: start a society that shares common values with yourself but is broad enough to include the values of others so you’re not standing on an island alone.

I might be wrong here, but generally when I’ve felt alone and tried to start a society for people like me, other existing societies that overlap shake out of the woodwork and I realize there was a rich network of people to join up with.

Also, there are more sw devs aged 20-30 today than there were 20-30 years ago. Those who would be 50 today never existed in such numbers, so dev population is skewed towards younger generations.
There are "working poor" in London because benefit systems and uncontrolled immigration allow people with no means to have 3,4 children despite having existed without money to sustain themselves. I can provide a great many examples.

1 in 5 people in England were not born there and in central London boroughs around half (or more) of the populations of various boroughs live in social housing. The poverty you describe is not a result of government indifference to poverty, it's sustained and generated by policies designed to ease poverty.
Bingo. UK will never fix the housing crisis because if they do so many retirees will be left with reduced savings.
That is one thing I noticed about North American social culture, the relative lack of [semi-]public spaces to just exist.

In the UK there are countless nooks, crannies, parks etc to just kill time with people.

Even the pub is an institution expressly for this purpose. You go in, buy a pint when you want and are left alone to your friends/business. None of this “What can I get you? How is everything tasting? Anything else?” hyper-commodification of simply being somewhere just for the sake of it.
In debate class. I’m not convinced that essay writing has ever been a good way of learning how to structure thoughts into a coherent argument. I think essays (especially the terrible 5-paragraph essay) exist mostly because they are easy to grade.

Essays are so static. I think a debate format where you are immediately challenged on your arguments or asked to elaborate would give a much better idea of how well the student has mastered the material.

Engineering, at least the ME and EE kind, is kind of a middle ground. Some physics/math envy in the sense that we usually have to use fudge factors to make our designs work in real life.

Of course we're too busy making stuff to spend a lot of time on envy...
Still yet to see the math comparing low atmospheric kinetic energy to ship displacement through water. Yes, a large sailing vessel can be created. Can one be operated with sufficient cargo density?

The question of whether 20 odd folks of different nationalities can operate/maintain a reactor seems also to apply to sailing vessels. The change is maybe a matter of degree so is the continuation of current staffing practice more important than decarbonization?
I don’t think they will make the link. “Everyone should stop being a lazy retiree but I’m not a lazy retiree because I worked hard all my life!”
I told it to use common sense to one of the questions he asked and it answered fine

using common sense answer the following logic problem:

if cindy is alive at noon and alive at 5 pm is she alive at 3 pm?

Based on common sense, if Cindy is alive at noon and alive at 5 pm, it's reasonable to assume that she is alive at 3 pm. This is because there is no information provided that suggests she would have died or become incapacitated between those two times. It's possible that she could have experienced an event that would cause her death or incapacity during the three-hour period, but based solely on the information given in the problem, it's safe to assume that she is still alive at 3 pm.

Not sure where I implied that web magically solves all cross-platform problems. In fact I went out of my way to underline the gaps using phrases like "worse is better" and "accepting that reality".

So while I was never opposed to your sentiment, I find this to be a strange statement:

> While that may be acceptable in a web page, it is neglectful and insulting in a web app that wants to be treated as a peer of native apps.

This frames native apps as a gold standard, which obviously is a bar that web apps can never reach. There are foundational tradeoffs here that can never be worked around. You might as well demand that all native platforms implement a common API to ease cross platform development.

The reality is that supporting multiple platforms with their native conventions and idioms is a very large undertaking that fewer and fewer developers are willing to do. You can choose to label that neglectful and insulting, but I doubt it will overcome the incentives and market forces that are inexorably pushing in a different direction. I too lament the loss of a rich native app ecosystem. But on the other hand, I'm pretty thankful the web disrupted Microsoft just as their consolidation of desktop computing was nearly complete. You win some, you lose some, but if you want to shape the future, you must clear-eyed and forward-looking.

> ...to facilitate decision making, make the project move forward. This is what is called “delivery” in the product management discipline. And this is usually the part that “Product managers” hate doing. The other part is “discovery”, it is meant to discover what to build, and this is the part that “Product managers” love doing.

>If you are a startup B2B founder, I want to give you one piece of advice, don’t ever give a lot of power to product managers as long as you want to innovate.

The article seems to make the point that PMs both love exploring and finding out what people want but also that they don't and that is the issue.

It seems the author started by arguing project managers are all over the place, and (my line of thinking) that B2B companies therefore should be focused more on execution and delivering, not just finding a bunch of cool new tech/ideas to pursue.

But then in the next few paragraphs they diverge by saying PMs actually stifle innovation because they want to look at data and improve things. They don't actually want to imagine something brand new.

This makes no sense. I would agree that in a B2B environment, you want things that work, not a shiny new UI and new products every couple of months. Businesses are focused on revenue, not flashy new things like consumers might be. They want to know if it works. And if you're selling to other businesses, reliability is far more important than new features. Why does everyone use SAP and Oracle? It is certainly not because they innovate.

I think the author just got very confused with their points and didn't know how to argue against PMs, but they clearly have a vendetta.

It is not clear who will be paying for this, assistance to build as in expensive loans and building companies to be paid by said loans? There are pleny of high-profile projects like this that end up abandoned and the owner/operator in extreme debt.
That version of the internet can still exist, but it’s tough convincing people that an unpolished web page is something they can write and update and that anyone will care. Webrings are an excellent source of “someone cares”, either as founding one or as joining one.
