This is one reason why I respect LaTeX so much, and why I can often spot documents written using MS Word a mile away. The idea that it doesn’t matter, that humans are not sensitive to or affected by these things, is plainly false. If I’m reading a long document, it matters. It may not matter ‘objectively’ but … I am human and it does affect me.

The corollary is, if I’m writing a document that I know others will be judging (e.g. a research grant application or a scientific publication) I will absolutely 100% do what I can to make it a more pleasant experience for the reader, including using LaTeX for text rendering. I may change (or not) the default font, but for text rendering and all the tiny decisions about spacing, kerning, etc, I will trust LaTeX over MS Turd any day.

Sure, “it shouldn’t matter”, a reader ought to judge my ideas and not be affected by this other stuff —- but, alas, the reader (for now ;) ) is human, and we are affected by this stuff.

> I'll never be one of those athletes who lets go of conscious control and runs off muscle memory

A lot of people feel this way, but the reality is that we already do almost everything without conscious control, we just don’t tend to notice.

Not to mention the majority of the systems in our body are also beyond conscious control, and for many, beyond awareness completely (e.g. the nervous system).

The book “Flow” is a really interesting read, and describes how one’s approach to daily life can lead to something closer to that athlete’s state.

This is closer than most people realize.
Reality Is Your Brain's Best Guess
> a surplus of energy is actually a "bad thing" but I suppose without the means to store it its just useless work, or am I missing something

It's more complicated than that. Let's say you have just one reactor powering one city, nothing else. What happens as everyone goes to bed and turns of their appliances?

The number of consumers goes down and the amount of electrical power consumed drops. What does that mean in terms of the electrical circuit between the city and the steam turbine? The electrical current drawn by the city decreases.

Less current flowing out of the generator connected to the turbine means there is less back-action pushing against the turbine shaft. But the reactor is still producing the same amount of heat/steam - which means the turbine immediately speeds up. Because the turbine is spinning faster, the generator is now spinning faster, so the AC power is not 60Hz anymore but also increasing. With higher RPM on the generator, the voltage also increases. So the city now gets higher frequency at higher voltage. Both are very bad.

Long before the frequency reaches 60.1 Hz, grid operators would normally switch on storage facilities or drop powerplants that can easily just shut down (all renewables and fast cycling natural gas turbines can throttle down or just go offline in seconds, but the other fossil fuel plants and nukes take hours).

If you can't do that, you need to dump large amounts of power in other ways. And that's not easy. There are load resistors, that just turn electricity into heat. But you can easily burn those with a gigawatt plant, its not easy to get rid of a couple of unwanted megawatt.

In theory you could also vent steam before the turbine to prevent it from accelerating. Just turn more of the nuclear energy into waste heat instead of electricity. But that's a really bad idea in a nuclear reactor, because you need to keep the reactor cool at all costs and messing with where the heat flows seriously threatens not enough heat flowing away from the primary cooling cycle - after all, this entire thing is designed for around 30% of the energy flowing to the generator. So doing something like that would mean engaging the emergency systems of the reactor.

The closest I can think of is for you to insert one or multiple soft-hyphens.
That's about the number in the post here. The readme is better at this, as it does actually mention std::sort, whereas here it's just "Intel's sort and ours can be about 10x as fast as scalar.".

Truth must have really hurt you, if you even went through my post history.

My earlier comment is guy earning 300k shouldnt say that things are cheap.

My current comment is that Google does not hire the best anymore, but outsources to lowest cost bidders and results are visible -> quality suffers.
It is somewhat similar but it doesn't have big enough of an impact in this regard. Still too expensive/illegal.
I think they're maybe alluding the fact that if you have a backup system which fails when you need to use it (e.g. your Time Machine backup turns out to be corrupted, which quite a few people in the comments seem to have experienced), you'd wish that you'd paid money to have a backup system which worked instead.
Sounds like a use case for soft hyphens. If you don’t mind where the words break, you could sprinkle soft hyphens through the text to get it to break more often than the default renderer would otherwise.

What should be done with hyphenation and indeed breaking paragraphs into lines in general is largely just undefined. There are mild movements from time to time, but overall no one’s sufficiently interested in implementing the really good stuff, so we’re left with the simple, easy and bad that everyone has grown used to. I’m glad to say that Chromium has just shipped `text-wrap: balance`, which is at least one step in directions of goodness. I hold out hope that some day some browser will implement a `text-wrap: pretty` backed by something like Knuth-Plass. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630181 is relevant, shows that some thought has gone into how it could be achieved in Firefox.

And while talking of hyphenation, what happens if you try to hyphenate in the middle of what would otherwise be a ligature? e.g. at “af-fable”. Alas, in this instance no one has got really enthusiastic about fixing it in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479829, you get the ﬀ glyph split in half, much like the mixed-colour handling shown in this article.
The reasons I've seen cited, chiefly individual unit plumbing, don't jive with modern building construction.

Most office buildings are reinforced concrete floors, supported by internal load bearing columns, with glass facings.

... that's exactly the same as a hotel.

Hotels have per-unit bathrooms, typically stacked on top of each other (floor over floor).

Ergo, you can frame out/lose some space to cut several hotel-like vertical utility paths, plumb pipes from them to each floor's bathroom (or HVAC), and Bob's your uncle.

Actual reasons would be things like office floors are built to lower load bearing standards than residential... which I don't believe is true.

UCSF Issues Report, Apologizes for Unethical 1960-70’s Prison Research
Who said anything about "manipulation"? Do you know that influence is not tantamount to manipulation? Do you know that many of your own behaviors are most likely subsidized by government and therefore you are being economically influenced (or in your perspective "manipulated")? Have you ever heard of a Sin Tax? Have you ever realized that Expansionary Policy is often put into place in order to influence (your perspective is "Manipulate"). I would encourage you to learn a little about economics before trying to hypothesize why and what makes people go to war.
I’ve got this suspicion that sans-serif fonts are fashionable because something happening to of kerning, maybe somebody got a patent that prevents common software from implementing good automatic kerning.

Today I can’t set a serif font for display in print and stand to look at the results if I don’t kern manually, this is true if I use Powerpoint, it is true if I use Adobe Illustrator and also on PC or Mac. I think most people just give up and use a sans-serif font. The thing is I don’t remember having the problem with desktop publishing in the 1990s, maybe I was less picky then but I’d say the results I get setting serif headlines today are so bad it is beyond being picky, also when I see posters that other people make people seem to just not use serif fonts anymore so I think they feel the same way.

Agreed. Sounds like a number of people have found a spiritual way to look at this, which seems a bit like a kind of quasi-religion, similar to the mystical aspects of Zen or yoga.

How big is the threat, though? What can even happen if someone takes control over Cloudflare? What if Cloudflare is malicious, what could they even do before people catch on it?

I agree centralization is bad, but with Cloudflare (compared to Google), their main business model is this specific service (CDN, security, privacy, etc.). If they don't accomplish it, their business will die.
> who sometimes have a skewed view of what it means to be "poor

I don't think is a skewed view when you don't own a house/apartment, and many of the young professionals from around the world, not only from America, are now exactly in that position.

I am convinced that this was one of the secrets to the USA’s rise to computing dominance:

It had a language and alphabet that was amenable to a relatively simple encoding combined with a massive market of people that didn’t care if anything else worked.

Thus even the very slow and limited memory computers of that time could actually do useful text manipulation (like sorting phone books) in a reasonable amount of time.
Soft hyphens are no use in this case, because browsers take them as a break opportunity of equal standing with a space. In my experience, liberal sprinkling on soft hyphens makes things worse, not better, because you end up with loads of gratuitous hyphens. What’s needed is a different algorithm for breaking paragraphs into lines, something better than the greedy algorithm that all browsers use. Something like Knuth-Plass, which applies a penalty to hyphens so that it’ll use them if the alternatives are bad enough, but won’t be too eager about using them.

Historically yes, but that was quite a while ago - none of that has been the case for quite a while. The real push against men started maybe ~10 years ago? Or at least that’s when I noticed women I worked with being openly hostile to “men” online.

Said to say, they have had equal rights for a while now, but the rhetoric keeps amping up anyway.

You are suborning your current values to an historical assessment.

Did medieval peasants have "freedom"? Did they care?

Men had short, brutal lives historically.

Women were highly valuable.

I think part of the problem of modernity is that men have to adjust to not having short, brutal lives.

Lots get left behind.

Humans still have the cognitive machinery to assign more value to women than men. Fundamental differences in reproductive output (i.e. men are "disposable" in a reproductive sense) make this immutable, even outside of millions of years of psychological evolution.
It's not really $25, though, is it? It's over $100 plus replacement storage and my valuable time.

Instead, I just turned on the Time Machine option on my Synology. Job done. In addition to network Time Machine I also run a local Time Machine on an external SSD. Backup redundancy is key.

Also of note: I use a similar thin client running ESXi to run old Intel Windows VMs that I occasionally need. The cost of that one was also $25 plus replacement RAM and SSD.
> But even excepting that

Let's call it a misunderstanding, and I apologise, I thought the part within parentheses was a bait and switch and I shouldn't have expected bad faith.

> you can define "masculine" and "feminine" in a cultural context and still run into the same problem - which masculine traits, in the current cultural environment, are positive?

That was already in my original comment, but traits like leadership, honor, strength, bravery, competence, intelligence, humour are all in some form or another in western culture male coded. Those are all insanely positive, and a real treat to not have to constantly be asserted.

> we can trivially see from your examples that toxic and positive are flip-sides of the same thing. Traits you might define as positive, e.g. competitiveness and leadership require a degree of stoicism which would, in modern feminist terms, also be "toxic".

So this is an important point. Yes, almost any trait CAN be positive or negative. Being competitive and wanting to win is good, training hard, pointing our flaws and working on them is good. Shouting at your coworkers, punching them and treating them like dogshit isn't, regardless if Michael Jordan thinks it is what made the chicago bulls win or not.

Also no modern feminist believes stoicism is inherently toxic. Stoicism is in many ways the basis of CBT which is considered by most modern psychologists as a cool tool to work on stuff and many modern feminists constantly talk about CBT. Youtube stoicism where a bald dude tells you to treat women and business as a goal, shut your feelings out and be an unfeeling terminator that only thinks of hustling and business is toxic, but calling that stoicism might make you rich because you can have infinite energy by using Marcus Aurelius spinning in his grave as a source of energy.

> Leaders of businesses can't be too concerned with putting their competitors out of a job

This is entirely based on the wrong assumption that the economy is a winner takes all market. Which it isn't. Yes you cannot think of your competition if you want to be an oil baron. But most software companies open source work, which benefits their competitiors because there are added benefits to strong ecosystems, healthy competition and interoperability of systems. See NATO having interoperable munition despite every country working in secret in the design of their own planes, tanks etc. If america (leaders in business in this example) sought to conquer the market, yes they would, but we would all have worse optics as France is a world leader.

They still have billions after you charged them billions.

And charging companies with fines is ridiculous IMO. There are always humans who made decisions ultimately. And charging companies (not them) is just a "get out of jail and enjoy Hawaii" card for them.

After they cheated, they probably had the promotions, money, golden parachutes, and left the company after bleeding it out and hurting it anyway.
So why would you charge the company a second time ? Why not them ?

Fines are not based ad hoc on how much you're able to pay. They're standard and the enforcer can't make you pay more - that would be terrible.
You wouldn’t usually just have a single backup system, If the disk image that time machine is stored on head issues that would usually be picked up at the time.

It pains me to see people being forced to change/adapt to support the most basics things (food, shelter and medical expenses for their family).

But the pragmatist in me clearly sees the writing (no pun) on the wall. Technical Writing is an area where ChatGPT and LLMs are going to excel. With tight integrations into Google Docs, Confluence, et al - the next generation of LLMs will be much better and ubiquitous.

That said, the Technical Writers of today can play a big role in using their skills towards Prompt Engineering.

Natural language is quickly becoming the programming language of the future. And this discipline excels at taking nuanced and highly technical topics, then distilling them into easily understood nuggets. Teaching the LLMs as much as possible with the shortest prompt: this is precisely what Prompt Engineering is all about. The task requires elegance and foresight (of how something will be interpret) that even LLMs don’t possess (yet).

In any case, I think their role is more important than ever before - just not in the traditional sense.

another pet peeve I have is double or even triple negatives used casually. Newspapers like the NYTimes or Wall street journal are very guilty of this. For example: "The congressman voted down a bill banning opposition to Foo".

Of course, this statement is factual, but it's extremely difficult to tell whether the congressman is in favor of Foo or not. Simply contracting the sentence to "The congressman (doesn't?) like Foo" loses info.

I think the proper solution here is for the newspaper to have the original confusing sentence, but also add a second sentence with the contraction as a hint. For example:

"The congressman voted down a bill banning opposition to Foo. He did this because he is in favor of Foo."
