The Aam Aadmi Party (transl. Common Man's Party; abbr. AAP) is a political party in India. It was founded in November 2012 by Arvind Kejriwal following the 2011 Indian anti-corruption movement. AAP won the election in 2013 and since then is ruling Delhi (National Capital of India) after winning 62 seats out of 70 in 2020. [1]

Because Delhi is a union territory, BJP's centre government was controlling the appointment of bureaucrats in Delhi through Lieutenant Governor. In 2015, AAP went to court against it stating that Delhi should be governed by democratically elected government and not by the unelected.

After an eight-year-long legal battle between the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government and the BJP led Centre government, the Supreme Court ruled on May 11 that the Delhi government has legislative and executive powers over administrative services in the national capital. [2]

In an obvious bid to nullify Supreme Court’s decision to hand over the reins of ‘Services’ – that is, the power to transfer bureaucrats posted to Delhi – the centre government of Modi/BJP passed an Ordinance on Friday afternoon, May 19. [3]

The nonprofit appears to consider it a success and is embarking on a new project to buy/build/whatever a CRM that will do the things they originally believed the website project would achieve. I can't even get them to use Mailchimp reliably, and they want to solve that with magic technology.
Something to keep in mind… people change. Capacities of an individual worker may suddenly shift for better or worse through what is essentially happenstance (family emergency, burnout, unlocking motivation, etc)

Corporations and management simply don’t have any tools to predict or control those things so they simply reward work and replace people who can’t work at a given base level. Adding a bit/lot of political machination and basic stimulus response for economic conditions and you explain most of “performance management“
While I see your point, I think you're not giving Scratch enough credit. Admittedly, I don't know the culture around it today but back when I was a child the Scratch community was made up of kids who were there by choice, not because adults presented it to them. I certainly found it on my own, and had a swell time tinkering with it.

> That has a whole bunch of social baggage attached as well as a 'win' condition set by adults.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? I don't remember anything about winning besides the whole social media aspect of trying to get popular among all the cool projects that other people had by getting the largest number of likes and remixes.

Yes. Nyxt just had a major 3.0.0 release, and we had a thread about that:

Hi! We just launched and only support Discord as of now, though we do have plans in the future to add more integrations. Are you in need of a Wordpress or other type of integration?
TinyURL.com was accused of something similar. They offered a "link shortening" service. But if you linked to a page on Amazon, they'd wait a few years and then swap in their own referrer code in place of yours.

When confronted, they claimed this was the nefarious work of a third-party to whom they'd outsourced their link-redirecting...

> Sad that the obvious route (diet and exercise) is skipped by so many people

It is definitely true that many people find it difficult to be abjectly miserable all the time. The difference with Ozempic/Wegovy is (and I know this is hard to believe!) you can eat a small portion of something and actually feel satisfied and literally just not want more. This is mind-blowing when you've never experienced it before. I've only been on the lowest dose for a few weeks, and I'm still in shock about how effortless it is to just... stop. I actually can get satisfied with food, rather than feeling too full to eat more! I have been wondering if this is just what naturally thin people feel like all the time?
Yeah the keys are nowhere near as good. :(
Honestly GLP-1 agonists will save lives just by being the go-to replacement for people who previously would have used DNP. GLP-1 agonists are effective enough that everyone in those circles basically stopped using DNP suddenly a couple years ago.

I second this. Helgoland was incredible. More physicists need to be taking relational quantum mechanics seriously. Not so much because it's true—whatever that would mean—but because so many physicists struggle with the intuition and find the interpretation so unsatisfying. Deep down, physicists are metaphysicians at heart, and they need to be shaken to their core if they find something like the many-words interpretation compelling.
I'm sure that happens. And I'm sure they do. I'm also equally sure in thinking that the vast majority of the interactions I have, are with people that are not doing this.

You can think of my "argument" here, as reminding people that shaving 200grams off your bicycle is almost certainly not worth it for anyone that is casually reading this forum. Yes, there are people for whom that is not the case. At large, that number of people are countable.

And I can't remember if it was this thread or another, but I didn't really intend an argument. Just a conversation. I thought I lead off with a kudos on the improvement. Criticism would be to the headline, if there is any real criticism to care about.
I still have mine from '81. I remember my Dad taking me out to buy it. Now, being a fresh, college aged geeky kid, I wanted the -41, but we got the 15C, which, as a calculator, is more than adequate. It's just not the geek cred of the 41.

Certainly one of the best form factors ever for a calculator.

Unfortunately your satire is mainstream thinking amongst much of the SV/HN set. Business/economic/tech "hardheadedness" is just millennial Protestantism in another guise. So many of our secular disguises are religious in origin - "progress", "sovereignty", etc. Unthinking inheritances of a prescientific age.

In some ways the physical-reality-averse 'realists' are even less solidaristic than your satire suggests. "Humans", you would think, rationally includes the vast numbers of climate refugees (millions now, hundreds of millions in decades to come) - yet somehow I suspect they will not be welcomed with open arms by techno-'realists' when their islands and lowlands go permanently under. When one-third of Pakistan was recently underwater I didn't hear loud assertions of human solidarity from them.
There were many many startups from that time period that failed. Most venture capital funds lose money. 20 years after the fact everyone is a genius. Heck, if it's all so obvious what's going to work, why weren't you mining Bitcoin on your home computer in the early days?
For a long time we have known the existence of a network of hormones controlling our apetite on the gut brain axis, with names like ghrelin, leptin, glp-1, orexin, somatostatin, list goes on [1]. Issue was the network was tres complicé and hard to perturb without getting the opposite effect than what we wanted. Finally with glp-1, sglt2 and pcsk9 inhibition we are starting to be able to correct in the right way.

To answer your question, yeah turns out it was never about will power. Some people just had hormone drive to be healthier than others and finally we can pharmacologically start to level the field.

While this is all very true, it seems much more than just excessively cynical to me. There were lots of folks who could have taken the path he took. He had the foresight to see that Computer Science was where interesting things were going to happen at a time when so much of the Western Intelligentsia was not terribly positive about “tech.”

I definitely remember the tone of the NYTimes around this sort of thing. It took some real moving against the grain to be positive about the potential that tech had, in the timeframe that this investment happened. It took a lot to even get to be in his position. We were not at all making fat six-figures back then.

I don’t understand what point you’re making. Are you litigating against happenstance?
As layoffs spread I expect more of this to happen.

At-will employment is barbaric (unless they're like a brand new employee who is clearly unable to perform the job or something). Union contracts should focus on unconditional notice periods prior to termination for all employees.

If companies are smart, they will get ahead of it by voluntarily implementing this for all employees.
I'll skip it then I think, this 15C will probably outlive me anyway.
The key assumption of what you're saying is it had to do with luck & that luck should be more evenly distributed. However, it was definitely out of meritocracy and deliberate effort.

Cognitive load, that is an interesting concept. How to measure it?

One way you could measure it is count how many questions/decisions you must ask and answer when trying to complete a task. The more questions there are the more cognitive load.

I have found in my own work that writing down the questions I need answered helps me make progress in the right dimension. Being explicit about them.

One of his rules. I was ready to stop reading anyhow.
> Any CO2 we add will be there for many decades

Many centuries.
If you create an isolated section where the top 1/3rd is algae and there's a tiny bit of bacteria at the bottom it's trivially self sustaining, until CO2 runs out. So these can be sort of "Oxygen generators" to power the rest of your system.

This seems to form the overall basis of the system since during the day the O2 rises and during the night the O2 falls. Further, at night the daphnea awaken to eat the algea, and the fish can eat the daphnea. In theory this should balance but in my experience daphnea are absolute monsters and need to be tightly controlled.

I create small stable environments and then a larger middle environment. The small stable environments regulate O2 and CO2 with algea and bacteria.

The middle environment is then some sand, grass, and fish. There's also algea, a very very small number of daphnea, and bacteria.

The middle is the chaotic one but if your 'regulators' are doing their jobs you can keep things stable. Make sure there's some shade so that your fish can hide from the sun (a thing?) and so far I think my system is ~indefinitely stable. I have 4 or 5 fish at a given time, although I have 7 at the moment but I suspect that's a peak value. edit: OK, I have 9 fish actually, so maybe I can sustain more than I had though. I may need a bit more O2 output for this many, but there's plenty of grass for them to eat.
They did indeed fork khtml because they needed a web browser for OSX and renamed it WebKit. I’m not sure I would call that initiating the investments but I guess if you squint hard enough you could call it that.
Actually the had official extension[1] that did that in the past but I don't remember and can't find why it is no longer available.

It's not about the investor who makes $10B. It's about the economy that you are able to get when you have incentives for people to take these kinds of risks. The investor making $10B along the way is incidental. I mean, not from his perspective of course, but from society's.
You are incorrect, its both.
It's also the the being able to detect it by touch, with a touch screen it's just so flat, you don't even know if you're touching the correct position. Let alone the haptic feedback issue
And now we're back at: this is why C is more difficult, for no good reason, than the alternatives. For small projects that you're only building locally, your approach may work. Once you expect any sort of cross-platform compatibility and/or start distributing your project to others, this approach falls apart and fast. Instead of focusing on development you'll be focusing on playing whack-a-mole with incompatibilities between the different shells (or versions of make, etc.) offered on different operating systems.

Again the problem is that no package/dependency management for C/C++ means that C is balkanized and more difficult to deal with compared to other languages. Using third party libraries in C is far more difficult and error prone than it ought to be.

Pretty much every language that provides more comprehensive dependency management also provides easy enough access to allow you to NIH/DIY it if you need/want to. For instance contrast this with something like rust where cargo is standard across all supported platforms and provides proper dependency management. You can still call the rust compiler (rustc) and whatever linker yourself if you so desire.

IANAL but there are city housing code minimums around natural light in residential units. If the goal then is to change the housing code to let people live in SF for a more reasonable price then might as well skip to removing overly restrictive zoning and height restrictions instead.
Great post, not familiar with the language, definitely want to do more research to add more historical context for myself and learn a bit along the way. Interesting correlation with my experience with German, my first language. Moved to the US at a young age but kept conversational use at home and with family still in abroad. I decided to work on my fluency so took some classes during my undergrad, found out I was speaking a regional dialect, sounds like "slang" depending on where/how you learned the language. My family is from Hessen, my professor was from Berlin. High German is the "standard" but had never known due to lack of exposure in an educational/professional environment. After a lot of historical research I found a deep interest for how all languages progress, some meaning is gained and some is lost, or intrinsically disguised by different terminology. It's intriguing how much economics and social class norms and population mobility evolve many languages, among many other factors some of which are touched on in the blog.
Right, but the problem is, it's unsafe to rely on sound in this manner to begin with, regardless of car noise levels.

Sound can only be used for positive identification - if you can hear a car, it's there. It cannot be used for negative identification - if you can't hear a vehicle, it doesn't mean anything.

This is because there are far too many factors that are at play when it comes to the ability to hear:

- Not every dangerous vehicle makes appreciable sound - an ICE car with its engine off, an EV, a bike, any other small personal transportation device, even a skateboard

- The sound may be masked by another, louder sound

- The sound may seem to come from a different direction, there's no telling how the surrounding environment will reflect the sound around before it's reaches one's ears

- The human crossing may, like you point out, be on autopilot, distracted, or otherwise not perceptive to sound

Because of these, and likely more, factors relying on sound when crossing the street is a horrible idea and will get you killed.

I cannot emphasize this enough, looking both ways when crossing *is mandatory*!

I like it! Another one-liner I'm constantly adding is

Whatever runs the main function should probably do more, like handling rejections.
If that had happened maybe a trillion dollars of productivity since would have been lost!
Everyone is equating wealth to "reasons to be alive" in this thread. Are there not people lucky to be born with great genes. There are people that get to have a lot of sex. There are people that can think better than most.

So many possible paths in life, don't get caught up in the wealth trap.
He's the majority shareholder, so if he sells his shares or dies, the new owner of his shares could theoretically sell off the company, fire all of its employees, etc., without employee involvement.

The new majority shareholder is an employee-owned trust, so the employees have direct control of the company, within the limits of the trust's charter.

Mini-kings might be a good thing for society. Imagine everyone is middle class, and the government is the only entity that has large amounts of money.

What's the advantage of those "ergonomics" if you have to memorize all the quirks? With a language like Typescript, all those operations become explicit instead of implicit, letting you take full advantage of your IDE with autocomplete, documentation, and compile-time warnings. Python sacrifices all of those just to save a few keystrokes.

> this is the effect that we get when every company is for-profit and massive growth

I am a huge fan of capitalism and yet I also wish we saw a lot more small-to-medium sized companies where the focus is on a product you can be proud of, satisfied customers, and especially, happy employees. While I'm wishing I might as well add a shorter work week and more time spent on the auxiliary parts of engineering / development (maintenance, training, contributing to OSS dependencies, community service, etc.).

Then again, I've never been employed full time before so I don't know how it is in the industry anyways.
The 90s were not tech hostile. That's a very strange take and yes I was there as well. And no, NYTimes was and is not representative of Western "Intelligentsia" (God help us), much less the subset that was and remains quite keenly focused on technology.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/cisco-buys-granite-s...

Do you really think people like Andy Bechtolsheim and David Cheriton give an F what NYTimes thinks of investing in technology, or that it was "moving against the grain" (???) for a Stanford CS professor to invest in his bright young things?

However I agree with you regarding the "luck" business. I believe most, though not all, people who are seen as lucky (or even see themselves as lucky) are simply those that take advantage of opportunity. Many of us (raises hand) are either oblivious to opportunity or have mastered the art of squandering them. Then we complain about being unlucky or how others are "so lucky".

Also, when things are not going great, people already have those meetings anyway. (If they care enough about staying at the company) When you care enough to organise an union, I suspect it overall just replaces time spent on grumbling about work during/after hours.
not a lot of details in this but I'm curious how the AC-coupled USB-C interface works with the DC-coupled HDMI. typically there would be a DP-to-HDMI convertor in the cable plug and just use DP alt-mode but this specifically says:

"This allows native HDMI features and capabilities to be utilized in a source device and to be directly connected to any HDMI display. Other Alt Mode solutions do not enable HDMI-specific features and also require converters and connector adapters to connect to HDMI-enabled displays. A simple HDMI to USB Type-C cable can be used to connect USB Type-C devices to native HDMI displays."
