> Imagine a government that is very strong on religion A, decides to raise taxes on religion B.

Happens all day long, just a little different and that is by allowing "story A" to be declared a religion, but "story B" not.
Your last paragraphs are describing a bad management problem which is orthogonal to roping in devs in all the meetings where decisions get made. Bad decisions can be made with or without you anyway.
If they can stop themselves from vomiting, maybe [1] [2]. I am more afraid of drone swarms with pytorch object detection obliterating everything in sight [3], or what Geoffrey Hinton said about the self-healing mine field [4].

Was reading now the "HoloLens environment considerations" [5], most funny aspect: "Wormholes. If you have two areas or regions that look the same, the tracker may think they're the same. This results in the device tricking itself into thinking it's somewhere else."

Carmack has explicitly mentioned that not everyone can have a nice house in a nice place in the real world, but can have one in the metaverse. That’s when I stopped thinking he was so cool. He’s a brilliant engineer, but his political-economy is chilling.
It is best practice anyway to know what you want to change upfront so using sed is perfectly sufficient.
I wouldn't be surprised if he got a few millions from the SEC suit against Ensign Peak already, but he would get very rich indeed if the IRS assessed back taxes on them.

That doesn't mean he's wrong! I don't believe there is much debate about the main facts in the SEC suit anyway, so we know the church owns Ensign Peak, that Ensign peak has at least tens of billions in securities and that they distributed those to a bunch of shell companies so that they wouldn't have to report their holdings, primarily so as to avoid public resentment.
Yeah I would assume that this would be the obvious reading of the acronym and would probably use that myself.

I guess acronyms should be considered bad in general?
I believe this is a sign of a hearing problem. Some children are unable to hear a strong difference between certain sounds so, to them, they are speaking the same as everyone else. It used to be that those children would be identified and given special help to allow them to hear better. I remember having eye and ear tests at school. Maybe this has stopped now?

The tragedy is that this is a huge dividing factor in the UK. In all the places I've worked the vast majority of people use the distinct "th" sounds. Use of "f" and "v" sounds is, to use the current terminology, a "red flag".
Many of the proprietary extensions have license terms that forbid use with anything other than the official vs code binaries. For example from the c# extension:

> INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. You may only use the C# Extension for Visual Studio Code with Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio software to help you develop and test your applications.

If you don't care about the license restrictions you can add the offical extension store to VSCodium and it might work.
Vice used to have a lot of really great reporting. To see what it's become now is saddening to me.
Mentioning my mother in this context is as counter-productive as possible. In fact, if it were not for my mother, I would give women a bit more slack.
The Power of Fast Feedback Cycles
I was going to make a counter point that the tech simply isn't there yet.

Then I considered how people hate to even wear normal glasses. So even if the tech could be as seamless and compact as normal prescription glasses, uptake would be iffy.
> I can't imagine wanting to hire or even work with someone that said this with even a remotely straight face.

I can't imagine wanting to work for someone who doesn't tolerate different opinions.
Thanks. I'm surprised about Christian Bale, Millie Bobbie Brown and Henry Cavill. Can't say that I'm familiar with Dominic West (haven't watched The Wire).
Legs weren't included because there's no way to do leg tracking with a headset.

So to have them you have to build an inverse kinematics model and try to simulate them... Which also doesn't really work because you don't know the overall body position of the user.

In a practical sense, a VR avatar is a disembodied head and hands - that's all the data you actually have.

The legs thing was kind of a weak criticism. The issue isn't any one thing, it's that Facebook's overall vision is boring, and keeps putting "sell ads" first.
British actors are generally good at American accents[0], but not the other way round. That new Zelda game what came out yesterday has surprisingly poorly directed voice acting in general, but especially Zelda herself, who in a sea of American accents is a Canadian-American actress doing an ultra-fake British accent where half the time it still has American vowels.

[1] except David Tennant, who thinks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gp9K-rMdxg sounds Californian
Metaverse only made sense to me as:

- put in a lot of money in AR/VR

- develop new things/tech required

- hope to find something new to do with it ( a blue ocean)

Eg. The virtual version of many defense/space projects.
I notice this too. Introverts or those that do lots of work that requires focus prefer WFH and extroverts prefer to be in the office.
Because so many British are picking up American accents. And so many other accents are being picked up by other people. It's a globalized world.
Academic publishing is lazy and unethical
No they weren't! That's what the Americans were rebelling against and specifically wrote the church-state separation to prevent. The result was both Crown control over the appointment of bishops, bishops having temporal legislative power in the House of Lords, and (relevant to this story) the seizure and in some cases destruction of basically all Church property. The UK then spent hundreds more years fighting over this relationship.

People are still writing angry articles about the monarch being inextricably linked to the church in 2011: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-its-absurd-for-britain-t...

The Church of England is a state religion. It is part of the state (Crown), controlled by the state (King), and until the 19th century participation in it was effectively mandatory to participate in public life. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Acts)

> With the self driving car there is 0 feed back. It's just an empty car that may or may not run me over.

As someone who struggles with nonverbal communication sometimes, I frequently feel this way about all vehicles both as a pedestrian and also as a driver myself.
Nope. I am against the woke trope that "everything is better done by a women". Absoulte statements like this and the one you tried to imply are always wrong.
As a mathsematician, I have no problem with this.
That's the only correct way of contracting "mathematics". "Math" is surely a contraction of "mathematic" which is nonsensical.

Also, do people in the U.S. study physic?
Benchtop DNA printers are coming soon–and biosecurity experts are worried
So let's decentralise (human) power (over the grid)? But how?
I'll take that any day over some of what passes for dialects in the US.
Americans never seem to understand that there is more than one mathematics ;)
What app do you use at the moment?
AM radio remains the most reliable source of information during natural disasters. If AM goes away, what would replace the inexpensive radios we keep on hand for emergencies?
This doesnt track. The US government cant write whatever laws they want. They are actually constrained by the powers granted by the states via the constitution and protected by the judiciary. A new law taxing churches they dont like would not survive.
Remember what they did to Naomi Wu (aka. SexyCyborg / https://www.youtube.com/@Naomi-Wu).

Vice's behaviour was unethical at best and Naomi - who is a wonderful tech content creator - got into significant trouble putting her business at serious risk.

Why would you do that as a "journalist"?

We (I squarely place myself in this group) kind of are pushing office workers to adjust how they do things though. If you've got a few remote attendees in a meeting then you're running a remote meeting, for it to be effective for everyone you can't do things like scribbling on whiteboards, and you have to run it from a space where video calling actually works.

Post-pandemic I worked with a few project managers who hated this, and would constantly complain about people not coming into the office for meetings because now they had to actually plan things, rather than just finding a random corner and talking things over. I even kind of get it, semi-remote meetings are the worst of both worlds, with the people in a meeting room wanting to draw on a whiteboard, and the people who are remote often struggling with audio from whatever crap microphones are in the room.

I suspect, after another few years of having this same discussion every few weeks, things will eventually settle down with some companies choosing to be co-located companies, and others choosing to be fully remote. Similarly to how you might select which company you work for based on what they do, or the personality of the people you interviewed with, people will also take into consideration how they want to work. I very much doubt there'll be many companies which routinely have both remote and co-located employees.

After reading it again here is my interpretation:

What is meant by "self-taught narrative" is a narrative of their experience in which they are "self-taught" i.e. taught themselves.

It could be easy to assume a "self-taught narrative" is a narrative one teaches themselves i.e. a narrative that is subjective, self-assured only, and thus not valid; but I don't think this is what is meant.

Hence, the line:

> Other self-taught narratives

Are not "other narratives I taught myself" but rather, "the 'self-taught' narratives of other people".

I think this is implied by:

> My self-taught narrative is not other peoples’ self-taught narrative

note the use of a singular "narrative".

I think the contrast/revelation of the line "This was a bombshell" is that this:

> is a completely valid narrative, but a path that is predominately for women

i.e. this is what she discovered, and still believes, and forms the basis of her rejecting her former contempt.
I wouldn't think of lisp as the next best choice.

Quickly written spaghetti code with massive tech debt could be delivered fast enough to gain a huge competitive advantage - does that mean modern SW dev should venerate that approach?
That is mostly because americans still haven't learnt that the internet is not USA exclusive but actually world-wide. This phenomenon was already quite apparent in the 90s, on usenet for instance. One would assume this gets better over time, but alas, no, it doesn't. Americans are about the only people on this planet that behave like they are the only country on earth.
Sigh

This is one area where I feel like programs like ChatGPT can be helpful in the future. My first experience with ChatGPT was generating a few mock syllabi (recommended textbooks and week-by-week course outlines) and it turned out to be pretty good. This is just a low-end example, but there are probably a lot of other ways that large language models can be helpful in this field. One of the greatest concerns to self-learning is probably self-management.

Your second paragraph describes a beautiful concept that I think takes a tremendous amount of effort which could probably be offloaded to AI. I can’t speak to the quality of this outcome, but in a best(best,best)-case scenario I think it would be splendid. There would still have to be the right amount of human involvement though.
Cara Delevingne, to name another. Each of the HP core cast have had unrelated roles where they do - Emma Watson (The Perks Of Being A Wallflower), Rupert Grint (Servant) and Daniel Radcliffe (Horns).
Irrespective of the reason, this really makes me sad. Vice had made some of the most incredible content and dared to go places others simply wouldn't.

As a Pakistani, I can tell you it's very rare to see media go there. Even movies that are supposed to be set in Pakistan (Zero Dark Thirty, A Mighty Heart, etc) are filmed next door in India. And other than maybe Al-Jazeera, I rarely see international media reporting from on the ground.

Vice not only went to Pakistan, but they did at least three episodes I can recall from there. And they covered some pretty important things, such as the disfunction that resulted in Pakistan being one of the last countries to still have polio.

I speak of Pakistan as one example because I know how little our stories are represented in mainstream media, but there are many other examples where Vice seemed to be the only ones willing to go on the ground. Other examples include North Korea, Haiti, and Syria. I'll never forget watching Isobel Yeung courageously reporting in Syria while bombs literally could be heard exploding around her.
They're not prescribing extra-curricular socialization for your personal life, though. They're prescribing on-the-clock socialization for your professional life.
tax law is tax law, it's that simple. if the hedge fund did what the whistleblower alleges, then bye-bye tax exempt status.

Why we created Taxi, and why we felt the need for another schema language
This is not serious, right? It's a no-framework framework (what?) to build purely-functional UIs using pure-ish (what?) components. The "why" section doesn't answer the question of "why" though - it briefly mentions Redux and useState limitations without explaining how this is going to be a better solution.

Really, how is this different from a top-level useState call, that then gets passed down via props drilldown to children components? The repo mentions that the "heart" is not a code but a convention, but you can do the same convention in React. In fact I believe you can do much better with context - prop drilldown absolutely sucks when the complexity of your component tree grows.

Am I missing something?
Pretty confident that a ‘Nobel Prize in Economics’ fits within ‘Modern economic theory’.

I think we’re at semantics.
As an occasional user of Multipass, how does Distrobox compare to it?
It's more than that. It comes down to owning a platform.

Apple's iOS walled garden is a slap to Zuck's face. In VR, Zuck saw a chance to own an emerging platform.

Remember the FB phone? Amazon's Fire phone? Both attempts to own a platform. If your revenue depends on ads, owning the platform is like adding fuel to fire.
I wonder what would say average people of 19 century when offered to ride a car. Book reading was also not mainstream just as recently. Utility beats everything though.

Is there utility in ar/vr glasses? Are you enjoying reading and typing from your small screen with your neck turned to the ground? With a friction of getting your phone in and out of your pocket 20 times a day.

How could it not be obvious?
I ran small POC as you mentioned earlier and it worked well.

Another continental European here (also software developer). I know most non-native speakers will never learn "proper" English pronunciation (whether AE or BE or Australian English I don't care) and international English is here to stay but, man, the many ways in people butcher English pronunciation (not because they pronounce everything as in their mother tongue – that's fine – but because they actually try to put on a native AE or BE accent) still makes my ears bleed on a daily basis.

"In recent years, there has been a notable shift in online activity from the Social Graph, where users connect and interact with their friends and family, to the Content Graph, which emphasizes the discovery and consumption of the latest and most engaging content.

This transition has changed how people use social media, with many users prioritizing content consumption over social interactions. The focus is now on viral videos, memes, and trending news from unknown sources. No longer do we spend our days reading the personal updates and activities of friends and acquaintances."

>Known in wealthy circles as “The Lifestyle,” Lee, 43,a father of two, allegedly enjoyed the city’s underground party scene, as did Khazar Momeni, wife of a prominent plastic surgeon and sister of Nima Momeni.

>People familiar with the group said Lee and Khazar, 37, were sleeping together, and many feared he’d fallen into a dangerous lifestyle, surrounding himself with the wrong group of people.

>Lee was allegedly confronted by Nima about the hard-partying and his sister’s involvement in an argument erupting in the early hours of April 4 when Lee was stabbed multiple times, prosecutors said.

"The Lifestyle" refers to the scene to which he belonged, not the man himself, btw (at least according to another article).

So why do we still post Twitter conversations here? Shouldn't we be posting links to conversations on Mastodon instead? Or are we still somewhat addicted to Elon Musk's influence?
It depends on how you define tall. Logically there should be as many short people as tall people!

Fat people are discriminated against, but the question is how much should obesity be catered for, and what range in body size?

Alcoholics and drug addicts and are also discriminated against by society, so shouldn't these lifestyle choices also be protected by the law?

What are your's Dos and don’ts of building a product experience?
In my opinion, Do focus on user needs, iterate based on feedback, and strive for simplicity; don't sacrifice usability for aesthetics or neglect the importance of accessibility in creating a product experience that delights and satisfies users.

Here's my checklist about the Don'ts:

Avoid feature overload.
Don't rely solely on internal feedback.
Don't sacrifice usability for aesthetics.
Prioritize performance optimization.
Adhere to accessibility standards.
Actively listen to user feedback.
Continually monitor analytics post-launch.

As a parent and a very crappy multitasker I try to be 100% present into what I am doing: spending time with my kids&family or working. Mixing the two doesn't really work for me and context-switching is also very costly.
The differences here compared to unit tests are that the breaking is outside of your control and the updating process is tedious. Also, testing requires making real API calls rather than using stubs so it requires additional infrastructure.
Thanks for clarifying. I’m not a VR user so I was not aware of that issue with regard to body representation. It seems like camera on the headset to observe the body would help (?).
LXD uses unprivileged containers (user namespace) with the setup done by the root user. All containers run in unprivileged mode by default. However, specific config that only a privileged user can do (mount disks/partitions, setup network devices, allocate more complex mappings for the user namespace etc.) on LXD using the root user or LXD group. Even rootless Podman needs root access in many cases. For example, to open port < 1024, mount EFS/NFS inside; in other edge cases, you can't use rootless Podman. These are Linux kernel limitations last I checked and are sometimes caused by various distros applying other security patches to their kernels too.

LXD supports (all of these have pros and cons, and you must choose one of the type that solves your problem):

1. Privileged containers.

2. Unprivileged containers as an unprivileged user.

3. Unprivileged containers as root.

One frustrating issue is that many developers and IT professionals are reluctant to use Podman due to certain unique situations and edge cases. Docker is more commonly used and tested, making it the preferred option despite Podman's beneficial features.
The thing is that Vice’s main appeal was always to the cringey NY hipster crowd.

Anxious dogs, like anxious people, need help managing and reducing distress
To put it in perspective, our company works with a casino that wants to target women in marketing efforts, but that extends as far as stock photos and general language, not telling mothers gambling is a stress reliever or financial solution. The headline of this article should be updated because it's not illegal to advertise gambling to mothers or to pay for ads or blogs. It's illegal (in some places) to pretend gambling is risk free to relieve stress and financial burdens.
In the US, I believe (and hope) that differentially taxing all religions except one would be found to violate the First Amendment prohibition on establishing a religion.
