"Anyone claiming the primary motivation in this record conflict had anything to do with fighting for democracy or promoting socialism should be laughed out of the room."

Sort of, but primary motivation may not matter in the long run. Institutions still spread, even as an accident, when people settle elsewhere. Portuguese and Spanish colonies are mostly Catholic now. Former Arab / Turkish territories are Islamic. Former British colonies are usually at least acquainted with the notion of a Parliament, even though suffrage back in the times of the Empire was far from universal. Europe still uses Roman law and Roman alphabet, though the main interest of the Roman empire wasn't to spread its legal norms and its way of writing.

Democracy, for all its flaws, is kinda contagious. The idea of having a word in political topics may be weird for peasants, but is attractive for the educated middle class. If Helmut from BRD gets to vote for his representatives, Zbigniew from Poland would like to, as well.

Really? In the US the standard CPI-U basket is 1/3 housing: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t01.htm It's the single largest component.
I'm not arguing that. Technology can make smaller forces stronger. But it can also make larger forces stronger.

Technology + people loses to the same technology + more people. If Ukraine had more people, the war would be going much more favorably, for example.
"What problem does React solve? You can just use HTML and jQuery to build websites."

To me LiveView is not about interactive apps so much as it is a way to build applications, period. You can build in a way that may bring you more joy, performance, and dev speed than you could otherwise.

Interactivity is a side effect, and it's a great one. But I wouldn't recommend LiveView if someone only wanted interactivity. I'd recommend LiveView if someone wants a different way to build than the React+API status quo.

Empires stay empires in the original sense only when there is a core where people are privileged, and colonies where people are exploited and lack rights. Roman Empire stayed like that for a long time (even Latin rights were introduced relatively late), Russian Empire had a lot of that, and British Empire was practically an epitome of that.

I don't see how the modern US is comparable: equality is formally enshrined in the Constitution, and whatever inequality exists is delineated more by ethnic / cultural lines than by geography of birth or living, driven by private xenophobia, not institutions.

Synchronic is one of those sleeper movies, where the first viewing is ok/not bad....but - for me - i like it more every time that i see it!
I get the sense that you would like some adult themes, but not too slow?

edit: Adult themes is here meant in non sexual manner. Still, I've removed two suggestions that in hindsight would not be good for someone his age to watch.

edit2: Re-reading OP I now realize I misread it. Matrix was not shown because of adult themes. Some in this list still fit, but most will involve themes perhaps outside the scope of what OP is seeking. All of them are great however and deal with some aspect of humanity I would think a young viewer would benefit from seeing.

Top of my mind (and in no specific order) would be:

- Dark City

- The Thirteenth Floor

- City of the Lost Children

- Tron (original and maybe new one)

- Interstellar

- Inception

- Her (very relevant to our times)

- Dune (2021 version)

- Brazil

- The Martian

- Children of Men

- Edge of Tomorrow (most like Marvelverse on this list but still very good)

- Moon

- Twelve Monkeys

- Upgrade

- The Fifth Element

- Contact

- Okja

- District 9

- Predestination (very relevant to our times)

- Serenity (but might need some prep from the tv show before watching)

- World on a Wire

- The Abyss

- Minority Report (very relevant in our times)

- The Fly

- Equilibrium

- Strange Days

- The Andromeda Strain (relevant after Covid)

- eXistenZ (trippy but I loved it when it came out and was only around your sons age)

- In Time (interesting class dynamics on display)

- Enemy Mine

- Franklyn (some interesting takes on mental illness)

- The Arrival
I think part of the problem is the apparent lack of accountability for violations. I mean, what were the repercussions for any of the violations the OIG found? Careers need to be ended and people sent to jail over this. This is a civil rights violation en masse and needs to be treated as such. There should be no exceptions; a warrant should be required per the 4th amendment.

But that can't be it, daydreaming also happens where the subconsciousness takes over even when you are awake. Daydreams doesn't do that washing.

But we do know that our subconsciousness can learn to drive or to walk home etc, since we can do that without thinking about it. It has to learn those things somehow, and asking our consciousness about how all the things works, how to react or think about things when we sleep, that is the obvious ways for it to learn and test things from its control. I don't believe you can run the consciousness functions without us remembering it in some way, and that becomes the dreams.

Edit: Maybe the hard part to understand is that people don't want to imagine themselves as a small part of a larger system. We aren't the main thing in control of ourselves, instead there is something that can shut us down, turn us up, invoke parts of us at will etc, that is in control. It just reuses some of the code that runs our consciousness to run other evaluations.

Doesn't work. The output is 66 lines of text, the default page length in nroff. 65 of them are zero-length ("blank") lines. One line says ".self-replicate".

I've tried several times, ChatGPT can't come up with a self-replicating nroff macro.

A file of 66 blank lines is a self-replicating nroff document. It just doesn't run anything, and therefore violates the usual quine/self-replicating program rules that prohibit mere copying of input to output:

$ cat < /usr/bin/cat > cat2

certainly self-replicates, but misses solving the mysteries of self-replication.

“Unfiltered” is going to mean “useless”.

People don’t want to hire an employee who can be goaded into a fight or tricked into divulging their corporate secrets. People don’t want a friend who occasionally becomes belligerent and spouts 4chan conspiracies.

Humans operate with filters - and they choose which filters to operate depending on the situation.

Not your parent. But I do the same.

My IDE has basically just the code editor yes. I don't need the project Explorer. Zero useful information at most times so why open it? It's not often I need to know where something is. I open files by name via shortcut. Yes our naming is that good.

I don't need a browser with documentation open at all times. I only need to look at it IFF I need to look something up and if so I switch to it and it's full screen. Copy what I need. Done. No need to flip my head over to the place on some huge screen where "documentation lives". Also I almost never need docs as I have auto complete in the IDE.

When I debug half the screen has the debugger open but only when I debug.

I also know how to get to the place I need to with shortcuts at all times. When I see people use this weird "show all windows in small at the same times" feature used by people I die a little inside. Of course it's gonna take them ages to then find the right one. I alt/cmd double tab to the right window faster than the animation to show the windows would be done. I know that my documentation is two alt tabs away and with one alt/cmd tab I'm back in my IDE. I know the terminal is one alt/cmd tab away. I don't understand people that use small terminal windows integrated into an IDE. Small and unusable. I have a terminal window alt/cmd tab-able to at all times and I know which tab inside that window is for what kind of work e.g. logs tailed on tab 2. When I have it open I can 100 focus on it. No distractions.
how does the scoping works? From the homepage:

import os

text := os.read_file('app.log') or {
eprintln('failed to read the file: ${err}')
return
}

lines := text.split_into_lines()
for line in lines {
if line.starts_with('DEBUG:') {
println(line)
}
}

Is lines empty or program exited after the error at `app.log`
Urgh, Adobe wound me up so much with that block the exit bullshit I'll go out of my way to tell anyone that needs it how to get out of their cancellation fee haha.

Posting it on HN would probably get someone to fix it.

Have to mention the Tesla/Robert Peary conspiracy theory. The date Tunguska happened Tesla had asked Robert Peary to observe any unusual weather phenomena. None were reported.

Tesla had reputedly activated his energy transmitter at Wardencliff, focused on Peary's location. If you draw that line (Wardencliff to Peary's expedition location) and double it, you have the Tunguska forest.
Agreed. Synonymous with "An all-time low".

New Apple.com navigation bar – unusable?
I'm on a fairly recent Macbook Air 2020 (Intel i7). Hovering over the top menu, a full-page animation badly stutters to reveal a few text links. It seems I'm barely getting a few frames per second. Worse yet, the overlay gets stuck in an open position, blocking the content, until I refresh the page, and scroll down avoiding the menu. That's in Chrome. Safari is slightly smoother, but the animation still obviously stutters.

If you are taking on all these problems and your health is off, you are garaunteed not to solve them no matter how you think about it.
Thanks, will check these out too.
First some that I don't see mentioned here yet:

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

District 9 (2009)

Black Mirror S3E2: "Playtest", S4E1: "USS Callister"

The 7 minute YouTube video "Slaughterbots"[1]

The YouTube series The Backrooms[2]

If you are worried about your son hearing swear words and seeing blood, and not just whether or not he will be able to understand/appreciate the movie, then you probably want to wait with a couple of those.

And then I would also agree with those here that mention Inception, Interstellar, Back to the Future, The Martian, Men in Black, Minority Report, The Terminator, Terminator 2, and The Expanse. I also don't think he should have much of a problem following along with The Matrix.

Perhaps, but how much time do we want MPs to devote to reading correspondence versus all the other aspects of their job, such as holding constituency surgeries, reading up on legislation, doing ministerial jobs (which Stewart was at this time), and so on? Especially when a significant fraction of the incoming emails will be the result of some campaign group or another having encouraged its supporters "write to your MP" with a template letter with set of suggested arguments...
Have you ever bought a non-Apple computer? When hardware fails it’s not because the configuration “just dont work”, it’s because crappy OEMs ship garbage quality components that die, and when you buy one of those machines it’s really a race to see what fails first: an internal component or one of the poorly designed external components made of shitty plastic.

But that’s only for the cheap computers (a market Apple doesn’t serve). Most machines in the $800+ range offer excellent value and reliability (except Dell).

> By controlling components/configs, they (Apple) doesn't have to field angry tech support calls and go down rabbit holes as to why a random RAM manufacturer's DIMMs don't work with my machine.

I think you severely overestimate the number of people who install aftermarket parts into their computers. Furthermore, Apple offsetting the cost of tech support by overcharging customers for hardware is really shitty. Maybe if you’re a shareholder then that’s a positive statement, but this thread about pricing is obviously from a consumer perspective.

ALSO, it’s ignoring the fact that Apple’s answer to any tech support question is “buy a new one”. So whatever they’re doing with that extra money, it’s not going into tech support.

Why should I pay 10x RAM prices? Because nobody else can sell RAM for Apple’s latest computers, and nobody else can compete directly with those computers yet, and Apple is taking full advantage of that.

If a competitor starts offering comparable hardware, they’ll be able to significantly undercut Apple simply by offering RAM (and storage) at reasonable prices. Until then, Apple will be emptying wallets.

There's a lot of great picks here, such as Gattaca, Man from Earth, Contact, The Matrix, Wall-E, Children of Men, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys. I would add Truman Show.

Depending on the individual and their patience, Primer (2004) might also be a great fit. The pace is a bid subdued but thematically, it's mind bending. I don't think it includes anything particularly awkward as an early scifi movie to watch together with your own child. I would probably start with one of the spectacles from the above picks, though.
Hi. Feel free to ignore all of this. I hope this helps (selfishly,
it helped me a bit to type). I see comments that are giving good advice. Some are suggesting that what you are feeling isn't rock bottom. In my opinion, whether or not that is true doesn't matter. Reality filters through the lens of your mind. If you feel that this is the case, it is. To you. I have been, and still go through, the same things. Because of my past, I have issues trusting people, and knowing that it is true doesn't help. I no longer have many friends, few meaningful relationships, and many people could care less if I exist. I review the history of my life and sometime wonder if my existence was a net positive for those with which I have collided. Only a core set of people who helped raise me know me and love me for who I am. There are fewer of these as time passes. Finding someone you trust that you can confide in without judgement helps. For me, being able to express how I feel to another person who cares about what I am thinking has helped immensely. By nature, I am solution-oriented and get stuck in a kind of mental fix loop when I encounter a situation I can't control or resolve. I am working on trying to focus on the situations I can control, and ceding the rest to "what is". I Recommend that you approach your therapy as a way to unburdon yourself without the expectation of a fix. The fix will come. This seems like everything that matters. If you can, try to zoom out. Try to do something new. Try to see that this is a tiny situation in the fabric of reality and choose to change it. Again, I am just a random friendless internet dude talking out of my ass. I am not qualified to offer advice, but I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone.
The thing is that if you're going to put a video screen of any size (not sure what the actual backup camera requirements are), you're going to use it as a navigation system--probably with Apple Play or Google Play--which is probably going to be a non-negotiable requirement for a lot of people at that point so it's going to be a touch screen anyway. And that means a lot of buttons are going to just be additional cost at that point.

I agree manufacturers don't have to dispense with most buttons because they can. My Honda Passport actually strikes a pretty good balance. It would also be nice to have better voice control but that's been a hard problem with voice assistants generally.
"you just need to write better code to have composition with jQuery"

To be clear I don't believe that, but that's analogous to what I hear when I see this.

LiveView has composition of components, so there's an immediate answer to your question. You've already answered another piece with built-in soft real-time.

In all honesty, if you have looked at LiveView and don't understand what it brings then I'm not sure if you looked sincerely.

Maybe it's more accurate to say "few super rich people were born super rich". Competition seems healthy in the upper 10% of society. For those having less than that it looks a lot less egalitarian though.
This is consistent with the upper middle class growing at the expense of the rest of the middle class: https://www.brookings.edu/research/squeezing-the-middle-clas.... This is partly the result of the shift to knowledge work, and partly the result of Reagan-era tax cuts to the upper middle class that have never been challenged by either party.

I’m convinced that the most significant and tangible aspect of income inequality in practice is not between the middle class and super rich, but between the middle class and the ordinary rich (I.e. Biden’s protected class of people making up to $400,000).

I live near Annapolis, which has always had plenty of old money yacht club types. But you could still buy a 3BR family home for under $300,000 even in 2015. Historically it’s been a place where military officers and GS-scale workers, farmers, and established tradespeople could own a nice house, a used boat, etc. It was only in the last few years, as more and more knowledge workers started moving outward from the DC area, that housing has increasingly become unaffordable. Similarly in Eugene Oregon where my wife grew up, housing prices have skyrocketed. Non-college educated but stably established folks in her family are having trouble finding affordable housing. The only billionaire there, Phil Knight, has been there forever. It’s all the yuppies from California that are the cause of the problem.

I think that’s the real story behind the growing frustration over “income inequality.” America has always had rich people. But Americans don’t really care what people do in the Hampton or in Beverly Hills do or buy. But the premiumization of the economy hits people at home.
