"In the next three days, we hope we can begin taking some big steps that will send a signal to the world about the serious purpose of China and the United States to address a common risk, threat, challenge to all of humanity created by humans themselves," Kerry said.

It’s hard to imagine the solutions these two powers could wrangle up if they were to work together. If they could put their differences aside and tackle climate change together, immediately. It would be pretty damn inspiring. One can only hope.
And you can't make the same broad benefit argument for public transit? Rip out the MTA or the El and see how state finances do when all that economic activity in the city center grinds to a halt.

Not to mention that there are more costs to driving than just the physical road - there's the opportunity cost of lost land, injuries, deaths, health effects from exposure to exhaust, climate change....
Cultural propaganda/cognitive training (don't venture outside the Overton Window, and that goes for all dimensions).
It was the endless login popups and constant rerouting when in traffic that did it for me. Google maps just suck because, first of all, it is a Google product meant to harvest data and trick people into making accounts if you ask me..
It's too vague to know what it's saying. Much like the common experience of an hour long meeting that no one prepared for that doesn't go anywhere.

I agree that your interpretation has some truth though.
Yes, another arranged marriage possible for both partners. Also as you say first failed marriage help get more permissive attitude from family/society towards 'dating first' marriages.
This seems completely unrelated to the post and you just going off on a social soapbox. And your thesis is as insightful as observing that military employees quit less often than civilian employees, because no shit, in the former case you'll get arrested and prosecuted for desertion if you quit. It's trivial to enforce social stability by legal means or family-induced forced conformity, but societies and cultures differ on how much they value social stability versus freedom of individual self-determination.
There is a qoute about exactly this problem, but coming at if from a very different context...

”The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him."

Miyamoto Musashi, The Book Of Five Rings

That idea is also said as: "the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing". It's been a difficult thing to do in my life, and I get it when other people get distracted, as I often do myself. And, very often I need to just go along with distractions in order to accomplish things. In practice, it's not an easy skill.
I would love to see OTR forked by many different developers in multiple languages and evolved to be easier for people to integrate with any applications. Surely if someone made a Rust fork of OTR it would be popular.
Those lines weren't meant to help beginners but as a way to order statements in the absence of an editor.
I recently started using Sidebery over TST and found it much more customizable for how I use tabs. It's worth taking a look at if you haven't already.
$30/month for a mail/document filter which automatically junks AI-generated material would be better value....
On firefox you can also use sidebery. If I recall correctly it worked decently well. Currently I'm using Arc which performs well enough for my use cases, although being locked into chromium kinda sucks.
> By maintaining that job they are clearly meeting whomever's opinion of good enough to keep the job.

By the same rationale, would you agree that if a company insists on workers returning to the office, the are clearly not meeting whomever's opinion?
That's great. But Google Maps Street View (-> GeoGuessr) is still a slideshow under Firefox (Linux) for me. (I tried all the things under about:config) Really hope that gets fixed some day. On that day I will switch back. Really missing browser containers (well, I'm booting Firefox just for that, actually).
Let's be clear...it's because of the heat, not because of "climate change".
AKA “Cache is King”.

(edit)
Terje Mathisen's "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" is often quoted amongst game developers, as it rings true with how we use hardware and pre-calculation of data.
> countries with the most stable marriages tend to be ones in which arranged marriages are much more common

These also happen to be countries where women have terrible economic prospects and divorcees are treated as social outcasts. I happen to live in such a country and from what I can tell, people in miserable marriages stay married because of external pressures.

I can only imagine people glorifying such an arrangement are either ignorant of the ground reality or are outright deranged.
Oh, yeah thousands seems like a lot. But I'm not sure, maybe there's a workflow where that makes sense.
Simple question. Are you happy with my output or not?

Are you happy with my tickets solved, APIs built, etc? How does milling around attending meetings help you answer that? How does having me in excruciating team building sessions or Scrum meetings where I say nothing help you answer that?

If yes, let me work. If no, fire me.
As someone who's been remote-only for about six years, I agree. I'd prefer a balance of remote/in-office work, and the in-office work I've had during this time has been invaluable.

Further, I agree with the author that there can be issues with office bullshit and I find that the vast majority of that is due to a combination of incompetence and poor organizational culture.
Declarative vs. procedural is orthogonal to data oriented vs. object oriented.

The functional way to make a declarative interface would be to have a single type, `Expression`, and all operators take expressions and return expressions.

However, I would argue the declarative vs. procedural decision is much more important to the resulting code structure then whether you use a single object type or multiple object types with inheritance.
Taxis in many areas dramatically increased costs by artificially limiting supply to sometimes absurd levels. The obvious example is NYC where taxi medallions (a transferrable license to operate a taxi) were going for $1.4 million not long ago [1], and rapidly trending upwards. $1.4 million for a license to operate a cab is no less brokenly unsustainable than businesses running off funny money from investors, owing to "perpetually" low interests rates motivating that very behavior.

I expect some of Uber's appeal, from the perspective of investors, was predicated on a belief in the arrival of widespread full vehicle automation. If that happened, they'd have had the infrastructure, systems, and brand to immediately swap over, on a global level, and become an unbelievably profitable (and massive) company. Add in some massive scale vertical integration of maintenance and other costs, and it's hard to overstate how big they could have become. Of course it didn't happen, so instead we just got a bunch of cheap taxi rides, and that's cool. Feel bad for the medallion guys who got left holding the bag (those licenses now go for < $100k, which is a vastly more sustainable equilibrium) but at some point you've gotta trust your tulip detector.

> You’re going to see more AI-written articles whether you like it or not

I won't, cause I have largely stopped using Google.
I would argue this is all the high-point of Apple's desktop hardware. The same drivers that run external DACs is the same they assign to their own internal hardware. This is likely just a holdover from their background of audio production tools in the aughts.

For example, the Pro/Mac Macbook Pro supports 96Khz Audio at 32 Bits according to the same built in midi tool that you would also use to adjust the bitrates of external DACs. Sure my Onyx Artist 1 - 2 supports 24 bit at 192Khz...but the external headphone jack in the latest Macs also adds a fun bonus: A built in Amp for headphones over 300 Ohms. It's a weird add, but a wonderful one. (I do dislike that it is just a resistance detector that enables it though, my Planar HifiMan headphones are just under the cut so I have to drive them with an AMP for better sound.)

Obviously, this all goes out the Window on iOS of course.
There is but my phone was out. Plus I thought: the taxis are right here, how hard can it be?

Turns out it was pretty hard.
> No amount of bullshit can save you from not delivering on a task you have been explicitly paid to do

IBM and Accenture are masters at the bullshit of not delivering so they can keep on billing.
Basically learning the lessons of Java and C# all over again. Yes, there are features you can defer implementing until later, but their absence infects everything until you do. I still see cases where people have to drop down into ADO.Net code for C#, and the fact that you still see DBNull.Value instead of just a simple null value, much less a proper Option type is infuriating.

Like I write a lot of Powershell code and their stuff still returns DBNull.Value when returning a null value from the DB, when nullable value-types were introduced almost 20 years ago.

I'm not sure that's the main thrust of the article. The idea here is that VCs can profit regardless of whether or not the product is viable. The rationality or irrationality of the company itself is not relevant. You can have a completely non-viable company disrupt an industry where ultimately everyone loses except the VCs, and the VCs' incentives are not necessarily aligned with what consumers would consider to be success.
Why are you promoting "getting OSS into the hands of everyone" as a good thing, while denigrating OSS with the "SJW" pejorative?

So fighting for change is only good when it's the current winners who did it, got it
Russia strikes Ukraine grain port after exiting export deal
Literally. Seattle was pretty okay with taxi service in 2011, but in San Francisco, the same taxi company that dropped me off in South San Francisco one day in early 2012 just told me I was on my own and they could not help me when I tried to get a ride home. No numbers for partner companies or suggestions or anything. I was stranded, and willing to pay top dollar. I could not believe the complete failure of the market just a few minutes outside the city.
I liked to see you try to Uber in Western Mass.
You're right that the system we have is inefficient and most of it is not suited towards good allocation.

The family trust having that wealth has to have come from somewhere in the first place though - someone (probably you or your ancestor) has to have made something that people wanted and were willing to pay for (obviously this is in general terms, there are exceptions in unethical stuff like stealing etc)

I broadly agree with your critique of the current system we have - which is why sensible social safety nets should be established and a government should exist as a safeguard and as a check on it.

However, production is entirely different to distribution and we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about how an individual becomes and stays rich, you're talking about the system - I agree with the critiques of the system as a whole.

People get rich by creating something people want. It is not by buying higher quality products or w/e the quote implies. You can buy all the crappy products you want and still be rich as long as whatever you're producing is in demand.
We moved my retirement-age parents out of Arizona about 4 years ago, and I'm very glad we did. The neighborhood they used to live in recently ran out of water. The county does not have anything to supply the residential areas with, so if you want drinking water, you need to ship it in yourself. They would not have been physically capable of doing so, and if they were still living there, we would have needed to literally evacuate them.

I still remember visiting them, driving through mile after mile of pre-construction housing lots with nothing but dry, flat, arid land as far as the eye can see. It doesn't seem like a sustainable place on Earth for the standard American suburban sprawl.
Really? Perhaps it was just my department (interdisciplinary). We were strongly encouraged to put our work up for review via OSF, including ML. This promotes transparency, collaboration, and verifiable replication.

Why? You can't trust "peer review" from a journal or a conference alone for the verified stamp of "correctness." Why? Bias and ego; humans are human. So, open it up to the hive, encourage people to swarm.
You can also middle-click the tab - that works for any tab, not just the current one.
I'll be honest, having lots of stuff in github is convenient for looking for projects. Like, I need something that does X, and search engines offer the same results for pages and pages. Searching github directly is a lot easier.

Is there a way to search multiple public repos at once? Github, gitlab, sourcehut, codeberg, etc
All non-dynamic string representations give rise to the situations where programmers need to combine strings that don't fit into the destination.

Whether null-terminated or not, dynamic strings that solve the problem of being able to add two strings together without worrying whether the destination buffer is large enough (trading that problem for DoS concerns when a malicious agent may feed a huge input to the program).
I know everyone is upset about copilot. But in all honesty, copilot is awesome. I use it everyday and it takes so much pain out of my work. Theres no other tool like it, i tried them all.
We shared in an earlier blog post some of what goes into setting up infrastructure for new countries: https://frame.work/blog/scaling-up-infrastructure

On Kickstarters specifically, I have worked in a company that made the mistake of not limiting country availability, and ran into the massive downstream problems with that afterwards: products blocked at customs due to missing certifications or registrations, along with tax issues and penalties.
they would have had to predict that communicating their financial concerns is not welcome. i am very open to talk about my feelings, but if a topic makes my wife angry, then i'll stop. the problem is not the ability of the sender but the reaction of the receiver. you can't control how your message is received, and therefore you can't blame the sender for failing to communicate in this case, much less suggest that they should not have married this person, because in order to avoid that they would have had to have known in advance that this issue would become a problem.
Word meaning can be fluid though. Like Wrist in English and Vrist in Swedish mean completely different body parts - despite the words obviously being related.

English has a special way of changing meaning - so words like "meat", "deer", "foul" and "hound" originally meant something like any "food", any "animal", any "bird" and any "dog".
You get the systems you build. If you underpay people, don’t respect them, and don’t provide them with authority (teachers specifically from your example), they will check out or leave professions entirely. People have options.

See: shortages of everyone you mentioned. They owe us nothing, we owe them if we want the system to work.

> I believe Duty and Obligation are in deep decline in the west.

This sounds like collective entitlement. You don’t sacrifice when you’re not valued. That’s just exploitation.
Really, this headline format works for anything, like "The office is a prison for work", "The office is a whorehouse for work", etc.
Which side do you use as the primary? I use Gitea and push mirror to GitHub, but I’m not sure how that would work for collaboration. I only push to GitHub for projects that deploy to Cloudflare (via Pages).

I’ve stubbornly struggled through self hosting all my stuff while everyone was saying it was a waste of time. There was a stretch where I was starting to believe it, but now I’m starting to feel more vindicated. It’s different for large companies, but I think smaller developers benefit from the control you get from self hosting everything possible.
What do I need to prove? That I produced x widgets in y hours? How about my team meets their goals and KPIs YoY consistently. How about there's work on the board, and theres 2 weeks to get it done, and we get it done. What more surveillance do you need? If theres dead weight on the team, it will be brought to light one way or another, through manager 1 on 1's, peer feedback, check ins, personal goals, etc.
They have similar laws in the US too, the problem was that cab drivers would never follow them! They are supposed to take you anywhere you need to go, but I was repeatedly refused transit because my ride was too out of the way and one time since it was too close to the airport.

Want to file a complaint? Well, then you are free to file a complaint with the taxi and limousine commission and then show up in person at an obscure location to present your case.

The amount of follow-through was approximately zero.
I use FF and prefer the devtools.

Chrome's ability to temporarily edit and save changes to JS sources through the debugger editor is fantastic though.

Other than that it's mostly just improvements to what FF already has.

Search could be made much more useful, especially network requests. Searching all request bodies/responses for a particular string/json/regex would be a huge step up.

You can search the response of individual requests but there's a UI bug that makes it look like your filter is no longer applied when you select the next one in the list.
Learning to program does not equate to learning to architect and evolve over many years a non-trivial system, operate it, document it, train others on it, scale it, etc. - “unmotivated” is a bit reductive. In the same way I might enjoy some DIY here and there but don’t want to and shouldn’t be trusted to build new houses, the same goes for non-trivial systems - sometimes you really do just need professionals.

That’s not to say you can’t give areas with guardrails to non-software-engineering-professionals if you can teach them git.
The noise issue is why I am very resistant to the entire idea of drone delivery. Drones are very noisy, and the kind of noise they make is particularly irritating and tends to go through walls pretty well. The idea of having to hear them around my home on a daily basis is far from appealing.
Interesting or useful semantics and how the language will be used is the most important decision. If you are writing a language, I'd recommend saving parsing, optimization, code generation later. Interpreting a coded AST at first will give you the quickest path to playing with your ideas.
Bath might be beautiful, but it's definitely not perfectly good!

It's at the same time too small to be interesting (you need to drive an hour to get to Bristol), but too big for having those advantages you mention for Nothing-by-the-Sea.

The problem generally speaking is that any successor search engine will become a target of the massive spam firehose when sufficiently popular enough, and probably less well equipped to deal with it; Google is well resourced and already struggling. I don’t know that making the web less usable in general is worth it.

The design considerations for a single column and multiple are quite different though – no need to not do something for one because of the existence of the other.

> Unfortunately there is no setting to communicate text width preference

Many sites have an explicit dark/light mode toggle, either instead of or as well as respecting prefers-color-scheme. Perhaps a “constrain width” toggle could similarly be implemented.
I doubt that. Obesity is why I'd die at 70 instead of 80 and be sick as dog the last 10 years of my life.

I suspect what's driving down life expectancy is me OD'ing on fentanyl at 30 or getting killed in a shoot out at 20 or dying in a car crash at 10.

Short version of what I think is going on - young people dying lowers life expectancy a lot more then old people dying a bit earlier then they might have.
Pretty much this, the overall feel of Chrome is snappier and the UI/UX is much better

I'm still not a fan of the latest UI revision on Firefox.. Chrome is able to make me forget there is an UI

I remember switching to Chrome because of a new UI update many years ago (performance too)

If Firefox manage to catch up performance wise, I might give it another try
Back in the 00s when Ruby was hot, the Ruby community had a remarkably constructive and helpful attitude. Even when offering criticism. Many folks attributed it to its creator with the acronym, MINASWAN ("Matz is nice and so we are nice").

No community is perfect, but once you've seen how good it can be it's hard to have much patience for brilliant assholes.
Honestly, it's getting hard for me to imagine how Google can get much worse anyway.

So AI generated content will now take up the single non-sponsored link space to replace the ad-stuffed SEO-gamed clickbait article?

You’ve identified the difference between a monopoly and an enduring monopoly.

A monopoly exists as soon as you invent (and sell) something new. But the moats enable the monopoly to have more longevity, which increases its anticipated value, which is what VCs sell.

Side note: the word new is doing a lot of nuanced work here.
