To be fair, Hollywood has always been a bit of a hit-driven industry, and people have been complaining about this for as long as I can remember.

I wouldn't put too much stock in those box office figures; I never heard of Footloose, ranked #6, and the imdb (6.6) and rotten tomatoes (52%/71%) rating are not especially great. The same applies to a number of other films in the top list. Scarface is ranked #32 and is much better known, and has 8.3 on imdb and 81%/94% on rotten tomatoes. This is Spinal Tap is ranked #129 and is iconic enough that the imdb people programmed a special exception so you can rate it from 1 to 11.

I kind of chuck it up to fashion; all these Marvel things are in fashion today; back in the 90s romcoms were pretty fashionable, in the 80s you had the "action hero" era, etc. Hollywood produces hundreds of films every year and there are hundreds of films every year outside of Hollywood. There's still plenty of stuff to watch.

I don't think that number will hold up if you include square feet of personal space and lbs of luggage that might need extra fees.
If I'm aware a brand is wasting money to make me waste my time, money that furthermore will affect their product prices, you can be sure I'm never buying anything from this brand unless there is no alternatives (in which case they don't need awareness)
I may consider them at a much lower price-point and if they were much thinner, so not anytime soon :)

This shows a bunch of side effects, which is really nice to talk about in hindsight, and from the comfortable position of knowing that the worst is behind us. When the morgues were overflowing and bodies were being put in freezer trucks we cared more about efficacy of the vaccine, and nothing here called the efficacy into question.

Moreover, the majority of those are from 2021. How could decisions made about vaccines in early/mid 2020 even consider taking this information into account during the peak of the pandemic?

It's like complaining that C wasn't designed with borrow detection and that therefore Dennis Ritchie was just trying to cash in with the CIA for introducing security holes for the next 50 years, after all look at all the money Bell was making.
And more recently Netflix for their ad-supported lowest tier. Not sure if it has been rolled out yet though.
and sharing the sentiment
I preferred the private Amtrak compartment. Overnight trip, bring your own snacks and beverage. Eat a meal or two with other people in the dining car. Read a book and be left alone in your room. Best part was being able to ride a bicycle right to the station and pack it my way. No luggage or boarding anxiety. Arrive and depart from the city or town center. After you pay the airline's extra luggage fees for a bicycle, the cost is comparable.
I remember a time when microsoft would test their software before deploying it.
The word police certainly has its origins or roots in the word polis but it doesn't remotely mean the same thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police

I also would think they are pronounced differently, but a quick Google isn't clarifying how polis is pronounced and my two classes of classical Greek taken eons ago aren't sufficient background for me to be confident about my pronunciation of the word.

If anyone could cast light on the pronunciation of polis, that would be cool.
Not to pull the whole "Everything Is Amazing And Nobody Is Happy" on you but pause to consider the sheer scale of the dataset. 2500 cities have geometry data to the level where you can see details on individual buildings for areas extending well out into the suburbs.

What is wrong with the Ansible documentation?! Almost all Ansible module documentation pages follow the same structure: a one-sentence synopsis, a list of OS packages needed to be present on the machine where Ansible runs and on the target machine, a table of parameters including aliases, default values and other hints, a list of attributes exported, some notes, and real-world examples.

It doesn't get more clear than that.

Yeah, I think Facebook has the better algorithms for knowing what I'm interested in.

I use Instagram more than Facebook but quite a few times I've seen ads for things that have caught my attention. I've even bought something because of one.

I've never bought anything by looking at a Google ad. They are almost always something I know about already. What good is an ad for something I know about?

I don't know why you are being downvoted, this is a very legitimate question. These server-side frameworks are all alive and kicking and very competitive. When some other smaller ecosystem comes up with a good idea (like elixir/phoenix) there is a rush to replicate which happens rather fast.

I think in the end the competition will lead to specialization. Python will almost certainly capitalize on its data science / ML links but its not clear (to me at least) how php and ruby will differentiate themselves.
I can see that there's a lot of momentum for that, indeed. But as you told me earlier, we moved from a system where engineers and planners offered options to choose from to a system that is driven by political will, and implementation concerns come down the line.

Both systems have their flaws: the first one is clearly detrimental to democratic oversight, and may sometimes cause authoritarian problems, where administrators don't see or overlook problems caused to individuals.

On the other hand, political-first systems tend to kill unviable or uncompetitive projects way too late, because implementer signal is attenuated.

A good example of this is the development of nuclear power in France and the UK in the 60's: both countries had a local reactor project which was politically favored. France, where engineers had a strong influence on politicians, killed it quickly and bought US licenses for its program. The UK on the other hand moved on with their local graphite-gas reactors, which proved much harder to implement, and hampered their program.

All of this to point out that power2gas is currently at a very early stage, and since this program is dominated by political will, it's extremely hard to know how well it will work, let alone have a good idea of the economic figures.

Maybe it will work. I hope so. But it's certainly not a done deal, and it's extremely unsettling to see our countries' energy safety be debated based on a few scientific papers or a planned demonstrator by people that won't have to actually implement it.
Why? The only difference is that everyone can afford it. It is probably better in the end than only having paid chills doing it, since people will realize they can't trust "internet consensus" as being a actual consensus.

The real problem for some sites, is the amount of believable spam on mindless rant feeds, like Twitter and Reddit etc.
I tried to write a CLI tool for orchestration by wrapping some sub-processes. I found PHP very limited in its ability to handle subprocesses (streams, error handling, signal forwarding). I tried to avoid using frameworks, but eventually used Symfony's "Process" lib. It helped with Linux but Windows support is very limited.

This experience was pretty disappointing, but also pretty niche. Overall I agree with the general sentiment that PHP is very nice to use nowadays, especially for web development.
I think you mean equated
I don't know, I am dubious as - AFAICT - "kindly accept" is used (and makes sense) for something that is given to the person, like apologies, a present, an application.

In the context of asking to accept a (imposed as there are no alternatives) licensing model and a fee it sounds to me "strange".
On iOS uBO seems to work in Orion. Losing tab syncing is a shame though.
Counterpoint: ikigai.

Can everybody achieve ikigai? No. But not everybody can achieve xyz, but doesn't mean xyz isn't worth striving for whenever possible.

It occurred to me that several friends could swap jobs between them and achieve ikigai, but they've been at their respective corp since before the IPO and doing xyz professionally for two decades, they feel it wouldn't be "a good career move", yet openly declare their disdain for their profession, position and respective workplace.

Obviously, that's a big life decision not to take lightly, but it does strike me that some people accept x because they don't feel they can have better.

> People seem to talk a lot more than before. Teenagers that care about anything but watching a movie. People playing on smartphones at max brightness. I've even seen people answering their phone mid movie. Kids running around bored to death since their stupid parents thought it was a good idea to bring them to an adult movie.

This is also my perception, and a big reason why I stopped going to movie theatres (and concerts), but to be honest I don't know if it was really any better 20 years ago or if I'm just an old grumpy curmudgeon. I guess you need a time machine to do any proper research on this. I do know that "talking during theatre or movie screening" should absolutely be listed in the DSM under personality disorders.

Yes Apple does support GLTF, I have a site that renders 3D models that are GLTF format with no issues on an iPad with iOS 13.7. iOS does not support GLTF with draco compression though which is unfortunate but easy to work around by having a separate non compressed model to serve to those devices.

On iOS I would much prefer a second non safari browser than a second app store.

This is perhaps abstract and tangent but....

Especially for this quote, I like attributing it to Socrates as Plato did. We obviously don't know the details and nuances. However, I feel it captures the (perhaps inexact) tension between Socrates' old, mostly oral tradition of philosophy and Plato's newer tradition of written philosophy.

It's ancient Marshall McLuhan. Oral philosophy and written philosophy create different philosophies, not just a different medium for the same philosophy.

This is so not true... For the whole Middle Ages people rarely could write, but still there were lawyers (yes, lawyers who could not write), doctors, scientists, poets, merchants, mighty and clever kings (yes, there were kings who could not write).

Middle Ages gave us crucial inventions that built European civilization (mills, windmills, agriculture inventions like three-field system, ships building technology and so on), also we have got well developed philosophy - especially scientific methods of reasoning and logic, that were cornerstone of all later science development.

How it was possible without writing?

Middle Ages life was simply not writing/visual oriented, it was based on speaking and listening and in no way people lost ability to think because of that. For instance PhD thesis was presented as a lecture followed by discussion.

When people wanted to "sign" something they were exchanging or giving some symbolic item (like a ring) and that's all. That's why various saints relics were so popular then, they were symbolizing people's affection, etc. Or people were just signing, as most people could write their names even though they could not write as we understand it today - despite many believes people in Middle Ages were quite educated, including "Third Estate", that is "the Peasantry", more, typically they were going to the same schools as rich people kids, the only difference was that rich people had to pay for the school.

I really recommend "Lumière du Moyen Age" ("Those Terrible Middle Ages!: Debunking the Myths") by Régine Pernoud, it nicely describes a really rich, open and dynamic culture that didn't really need writing.
Making "complex tasks seem readable and intuitive to the layman" is no bad thing - besides other engineers, future you could become a 'layman' easily. Readable, expressive code is something I've come to value highly after almost 20 years

And from first-hand experience, while the specific code sample shown on this page shouldn't be treated as a practical example of how to architect a larger application, there's nothing compromised here in terms of performance or testability.

All tech is tech debt at some level or at some time - what has happened to pragmatism? Laravel has actually helped me write the most performant, tested and least-refactored code I've ever written.

Like any tool, used properly it will do its job well; simply grumbling and shooing it away does not stop it being a perfectly fine tool in the right hands.
In France, apparently you can go on unemployment for 2, up to 3 years to start a startup. With up to 80% pay.

In Germany you can get 6 months of unemployment insurance when starting a startup out of unemployment. Or get 6 months paid when starting a startup out of Uni. Then you could get various public funding opportunities like a startup bonus (for example 50K public funding for 50K private investment in an innovative company in Berlin).
Who am I to judge.

Jokes aside, I never found the bed to be comfortable for any kind of content consumption, even reading books is annoying. And when I already sit upright I might as well have a keyboard too.

This is really a different issue; tech salaries in parts of the US really are substantially higher, and that has fairly little to do with the differences in government policies in the areas you mentioned.

> 1. Is the unfolded screen a continuous flat surface? (I.e. is the vertical bulge in the center gone?)

Nope, no manufacturer has solved this. There is a "crease" in the middle the pixel fold here which is in the middle between the Z fold4 and some of the newer Chinese phone companies that do a "tear drop" folder to limit the creasing effect. So it's noticeable but eventually you'll get over it.

> 2. Are there gaps around the hinge or screen edge? Is the phone weatherproof?

Two questions, yes there is a gap top and bottom in the middle when unfolded. A lot of the newer phones are weatherproof yes but I wouldn't take any phone out in a tornado or leave it lying in the sand at a beach.

> 3. Are there gaps when the phone is in the folded state?

Gaps? Where ? When folded you can think of it as two phone sitting directly on top of each other and attached at one side.

> How quiet they become in the face of data. Why are none of these studies being discussed?

This level of discussion isn't constructive. (I was asleep, FYI, not everybody is in west coast US).

The studies listed for the most part all came out after COVID was basically gone. Sure there is plenty that could have been done better in hindsight, but cherry picking a single study showing difficulties with lipids from 2010 "that they should have known about" when the alternative was authoritarian lockdowns is not a helpful position to take.
> The goal is to prevent a NATO giant air carrier on its borders.

If their goal is to prevent Germany, Poland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Alaska from existing and being (part of, in the last case) NATO members, well, invading Ukraine seems a rather improbable route to achieving that.

All they’ve managed so far is to make that worse by adding Finland to the mix, and increasing NATO deployments to the existing eastern flank members, and increasing defense expenditures across NATO.

That's interesting but not sure it's relevant to the linked Tweet.
In Germany, it's not the social system per se but it's aoparent utter ineffectiveness. We're paying more and more every year but the state/public system seems to fail everywhere and worse so than the year before. It's like the money is completely sucked up by some unproductive black hole.

And no, it's not because of reduced taxation from rich to working class, or missing taxes on property or some other policy. These policies didn't change that much in the last decade or two. Yet throughout the last decade the state and social security systems had record income, record levels of employment and managed to run down pretty much every part of the public system from education, over healthcare to defense. The money just vanished.

I am very much convinced that Germany as a whole doesn't have an income problem, but a spending problem.
