"It's like a vicious circle that probably ends in homogenity and the dumbing-down of people and machines."

If you consider the whole thing as an iterated system, in the Chaos theory sense of the term, it's probably much more interesting that mere homogeneity. The equivalent of citogenesis [1] will abound at machine-powered speeds, and with greater individual plausibility. In a few select places, entire fictional concepts will be called into existence, possibly replacing real ones. It's likely most places will look normal, too. It won't be a simple situation that can be characterized easily with everything being wrong or dumbed down or anything like that, it'll be a fractal blast of everything, everywhere.

Yeah, I think it's something you just have to get a feel for over time. Sometimes prop drilling is the lesser of two evils, other times it makes more sense to break related state up into a shared context.

At least the React ecosystem as a whole seems to have broken free from the delusion that Redux is the be-all-end-all of state management. Those were dark days.
But the people who are the problem drinkers still end up finding a source of alcohol. So now moderate drinkers have been prevented from having their drink or two, alcoholics are drinking just as much, but are more likely to be poisoned, and you’ve created a massive cash cow for organized crime. How is that anything but a total failure?
This is a pretty condescending take, particularly for someone with such an extraordinary issue with VS Code. It is not that slow for the rest of us.
If you haven't learned how to speak up before you get to a college ethics class, I honestly question whether you ever will. Normally this sort of principle is drilled into people at a very young age. If it doesn't stick, I don't think a professor telling you to read Kant or Singer is going to do any good.

And you don't, or shouldn't, need an ethics course to tell you that minor deviations from the plan can have unintended consequences that might have ethical implications. Take taxi drivers for instance, a minor shortcut over a sidewalk could have lethal consequences; do we expect taxi drivers to know this already without having taken an ethics course in college? Of course.

Ooh, unexpected and interesting reference to one of the "realms" of human experience (in the terminology / model of Buddhism, in particular, to me).

"Hungry ghosts" is exactly it (as I've learned / come to view the meaning), speaking from personal experience with drives at various times morphing into the ... unhealthy.

Humans have all sorts of axes - behaviorally, environmentally, genetically. It's interesting to look at these, and look at how traits complement and contrast ... how subtle tweaks and changes in parameters can be the difference between, say, a high-performing researcher with a solid career, and a ... someone who falls off the map to greater or lesser degrees [1].

One thing I am quite familiar with, these days, is: the very traits that set people up for "(very) high performance", also set people up for addictions and other issues. AA and other related groups are quite enriched in, in my experience, high performers (as well as very interesting / idiosyncratic / "exceptional" people*) of various types. The tendency to get sucked into things ... to become obsessive, to push boundaries, "openness to experience", etc. easily contribute to someone becoming a "star" and/or a "strung-out junkie".

The Buddhist, AA (rooted in "Oxford Group" / "early Christian" ideas), etc. ideas about "spirit" and a sort of "middle way" and all of that, provide practical guidance (and practices) that can really help balance out the serious negatives that can come out of some traits / mixtures of traits.

I'll look into this book further when I have a moment. Thanks for pointing it out!

By far the worst job hunt in my entire career. I have nearly 10 years of experience and the only things I get recruited for are short term contracts which require me to move.

Why is the existence of that team member a problem? You don't have to read the emails until the start of the workday no matter when they send them.
Also, Stallman is clearly a neurodivergent individual, so shouldn't we at least try to be accepting and inclusive of that, too (within limits, of course) instead of jumping on every awkwardly worded remark and interpreting that in the most negative possible way? "Assume good faith" etc.

I wrote a "Stallman is not a good leader, but he's not a transphobic ableist monster" article and I got more feedback over email and Twitter PM than everything else I've written combined.

On HN it was flagged after a brief discussion shrug. I think it upset both the pro- and anti-Stallman people because I do think we're better off without Stallman, but not for the reasons in that ridiculous letter. For all his failings, I do think he's a good person.

Generative AI Could Add $4.4T a Year to the Global Economy, McKinsey Finds
I am a few years older than you and also had unlimited access to the internet. The internet back in 2005 - 2013 was nothing like it is today. It was far less addictive, it was more anonymous, and most of your friends weren't addicted to it as much.

If we take facebook for example. We did have it when I was in high school but it was far less addictive. It was invite-only, no dark patterns, no ads, no games, no suggested posts, no celebrities, no "influencers", no political campaigns, no activism, no clickbait articles to create outrage. There was also no family member on it and only your "real" friends would see your posts. When we posted something stupid, we knew that only our classmates and close friends would read it, not our parents/teachers/boss/journalists/neighbor/etc.

VSCode was essentially unusable for me on large projects. We're talking thousands of source files and god knows how many node_modules entries. Things like Go to Definition would regularly take 15+ seconds! Switched to WebStorm recently and have been very happy with the performance.
It's not VR though. Nearly all demos showed windows being projected into your surroundings. Cutting yourself off is a physical knob, and even then close objects will fade into your view. This is not like VR at all. This is more like looking at a screen in front of you.

The nausea problems are caused because your body getting different signals then your eyes. Similar like reading a book in a car. But with apple vision, everything is anchored to the outside world. So reading a book in a car with apple vision while looking straight ahead may be way less vomit inducing as reading normally. My guess is, the same goes for in flight.

I'm sceptical as well. But apple has a pretty good track record in sweeping into a field that consisted of 20 years of half-assery and overengineer a few key aspects they deem most important.
Videos can easily be embedded and loaded from local resources, too. No need to shove the whole of YouTube down somebody's throat, if a simple <video>-element with an mp4 file does the same.

The specific examples listed out in the article are egregious, causing real harm. The fire chief is right to be angry, if anything her response is too measured.

From the article:

- Running through yellow emergency tape and ignoring warning signs to enter a street strewn with storm-damaged electrical wires, then driving past emergency vehicles with some of those wires snarled around rooftop lidar sensors.

- Twice blocking firehouse driveways, requiring another firehouse to dispatch an ambulance to a medical emergency.

- Sitting motionless on a one-way street and forcing a firetruck to back up and take another route to a blazing building.

- Pulling up behind a firetruck that was flashing its emergency lights and parking there, interfering with firefighters unloading ladders.

- Entering an active fire scene, then parking with one of its tires on top of a fire hose.

Rarely does it shake out that way - it is usually the other way! More responsibility ("you'll need to grow into the role, or work hard to be promoted") and less pay :)
I don’t know if it really is a fundamental problem though. Human knowledge was able to bootstrap itself. Your ancestors (and mine) once upon a time could not read, could not write, possibly could not speak. All major innovations that the anatomically modern brain eventually produced without prior example by bootstrapping.

> And property owners are people who are quite literally invested in the community, even more so than full-time renters.

I don't agree on this point. They are invested in a plot of land, not the people. A house that sits empty for most or all of the year has an extremely adverse opportunity cost to the community even if it generates capital gains for the owner. In fact the best deal a speculator can get is to acquire an empty plot of land and do nothing with it while the land appreciates from everyone else's efforts making the locality more valuable. Putting your life somewhere constitutes an investment in the community. The best deal a resident can get is to have a happy and prosperous life there. Hence why I don't find the reason compelling - the incentives are too misaligned.

I agree there are arguments, but I don't like them. Ultimately the way you determine constituency is going to affect what interest group blocs are represented at the ballot box. Absentee property owners can already vote in their place of permanent residency, so I don't think this deprives them in any way of democratic representation.
Hey there, engineer from Warp here. Warp never collects input or output from the console. There is only high-level tracking for monitoring app crashes and some feature usage data. Our philosophy is total transparency around telemetry. We’ve created a Network Log tool you can use to watch all events in real-time [1] and we have a full list of telemetry events we record in Warp’s docs [2]. You can also opt out of telemetry in Warp’s settings.

Warp requires a login to support its collaboration features (for example sharing commands with a team). Login makes it possible for developers to collaborate securely.

While I am neither LGBT nor abortion-minded, I found that Catholic Charities employs counselors and students from all walks of life, and not all of them are Catholic. Also, Catholic Charities serves everyone in the community, no matter what their faith or race or sexual preference. They are notable for their service to the refugee population, many of whom are Muslim. So I would say that you do them a disservice if you think that their counselors will argue with you over these issues, rather than supporting and respecting you as a person with things to work out.

Your understanding of the situation is pretty poor.

The reason cities are struggling with homeless populations isn't because "treat them like people with dignity" doesn't work, but rather that there are MOUNTAINS more homeless people than most cities fund helping. This is exacerbated by housing being stupidly more expensive than it has been in the past in cities. Homeless people don't have a home. Plenty of them have jobs they are desperately trying to keep. But when the average income in your city is less than the average housing cost, you inevitably get way more homeless people.

Also, the point of decriminalization of drugs is just to reduce unnecessary harm, since our justice system sees anyone in it as expendable and unwanted. If you want to actually help homeless people get off the street and back into society proper, you need to fund enough shelter beds for them, enough social workers such that they know these people by name and have the time to actually work for them, and some sort of jobs or education or enrichment programs.
Intellij does this in constant time because it has AST functionality built in.
> But if the question is "why is management pushing for RTO," it's simply because they believe their teams will produce more and better output while in the office.

I strongly disagree.

Managers don't care how productive their teams are. They care about keeping their jobs. They care about hiring more people and building an empire and climbing the career ladder.

If your team is more productive working in Hawaii, but you'll lose your job, you're not going to recommend they work from Hawaii. You're going to recommend they be less productive and you keep your job.

The same way if your team doesn't need any more people, you're going to fight to get more people, because you don't care about the company, you care about climbing the ladder.

Of course, they don't see it like this.

You can read about why projections still very much matter for large scale (which is what I think you meant; small scale would be something that shows you whole countries and not used for road navigation) maps in the article I linked. Google Maps tried out an alternative projection back when it was still Keyhole and ran into problems with angular distortion when zoomed in. The original post is sadly lost to Google shutting down their product forums, but here's a quote from a Google Maps engineer on their use of Mercator and why it matters:

The first launch of Maps actually did not use Mercator, and streets in high latitude places like Stockholm did not meet at right angles on the map the way they do in reality. While [Mercator] distorts a “zoomed-out view” of the map, it allows close-ups (street level) to appear more like reality. The majority of our users are looking down at the street level for businesses, directions, etc… so we’re sticking with this projection for now.

Sourced from https://ilyabirman.net/meanwhile/all/map-and-reality-distort..., but there are other citations of the same quote as well.

there was a time, not too long ago, when it was very obvious to everyone that the Internet and the real world were not the same thing, and it was plain as day that the inherent disparities that exist between cyberspace and meatspace (e.g., on the Internet, nobody can tell what sex/race/sexual orientation/religion/etc. you are, unless you go out of your way to tell them) should necessitate different social norms.
