Usually no liberals actually will echo that line, or even are aware of it. But the very philosophy dictates that it must be true. And ask them the difference between a checkout clerk and an MIT grad, and they'll tell you it was all about opportunity.

It's also why liberals have a very strong anti-science approach to fields like behavioral genetics, while falling over themselves to praise the social sciences.

Why she even need to worry or know about it being federated? She would just a list of book clubs and choose one (in my case I chose an instance based in the UK because ... I'm in the UK.)

All 'Federated' means is - "if no one is talking about a particular book in your local book club, you can also opt to take part in conversations going in other book clubs."
> You really do want to specify types manually, at least at boundaries, e.g. in function definitions

I think PureScript has the best compromise here, top-level type signatures are not enforced but if you don't include one you'll get a warning with the inferred signature. On the one hand, this is very helpful because sometimes I have a grasp for what expression I want to use, but am not sure about its type, so I simply comment out the desired signature and let the compiler tell me which direction I'm moving in, i.e. what's the type of what I just wrote. On the other hand, it being a warning also basically ensures nobody writes their top-level functions without the type signatures. Really the best of the two worlds. I think simply disallowing top-level functions without type signatures would hurt my workflow a lot.
> If they haven’t defaulted to giving out IPv6 addresses by now, it’s never gonna happen.

Never is long time. I bet you that they will be providing ipv6 as default in 20 years from now if they are still in business.
I'm certainly not advocating for our ruling class but also consider that the cost to run and win a senate seat is something like $15M and a house seat over $2M (and that was data from a few years ago and only took averages, not the top races which were dramatically higher).

And they are full time jobs that require an enormous amount of personal ambition (which is usually tied to wealth) so one can argue even being in congress prices out anyone NOT a "multi-millionaire".

Sorry I think you’re confusing “deadlier” with “more death,” deadliness is a measure of likelihood of dying when exposed to the situation. Something can be much less deadly yet more people are exposed to the situation and it causes more death. Ebola is undoubtedly more deadly than covid. But it’s much less virulent, partially because it is so deadly. There’s no super spreading symptom free stuff going on with Ebola. Just death.

Weird that it's called Baldur's Gate 3 when it has basically nothing to do with BG 1 and 2. If they really wanted to use the Baldur's Gate name for easy publicity they should've gone the Dark Alliance route and added a subtitle to set it apart. Now it just seems like a low effort, audience alienating cash grab. And really, they couldn't make a high tier epic level adventure for the God of Murder to go on? They had to pick up a tiny encounter in SoA and base an entire game on it? That's like writing The Lord of the Rings part 4 and making it all about Elfhelm's adventures.
You seem to be missing the point.

My point is that being incredibly more advanced than the incumbent browser was simply not enough to have a great adoption, as evidenced by FF or Opera's market progression before Chrome's introduction.

People who make that claim in 2023 simply ignore how important Google's advertising was in securing Chrome's position.
Most German universtities have applied at an early stage for a class B network block therefore they have little pressure.

this is some lovely dark marketing, an innocent insider conversation, prompted by a single developer, Xalavier Nelson Jr., who might or might not have been encouraged by Larian marketing team, gets blown up into a narrative piece by a literally who game news sweatshop. the narrative here is that "the game is so good, how can other games compete", as a concern troll, communicated by the developers of lesser games themselves. so bold as to be comedic! much respect to Dominik Warkiewicz.

Or probably better, "clickbait". The author actually did a video about why he started using clickbait titles; basically, his goal is to make actually educational videos and have them seen, and clickbait titles means a lot more people see them.

Even that isn't all of it.

First, the definition of palatable changes for each observer and each topic. Maybe you're lucky and everyone agrees with your politics but then there is still the problem that you care about the customer too much and don't like ripping them off, which your boss definitely finds unpalatable.

Second, making your inner self that well known is essentially giving everyone else the power to manipulate you.

The professional facade isn't really about dishonesty, it's just a neccessary boundary interface for allowing different people to work together who otherwise would not. Like an api or a shim.

It's actually an anti-discrimination force.

Without the professional boundary, workplaces would devolve even more than they already are into clubs that are toxic to anyone not in the club. One office will be 100% bible-quoting wife-beaters, and another will be 100% vegan trannies, and no one else need apply in either, even as a customer or vendor let alone employee. Many places already have "distinct culture" shall we say, but at least on paper professionalism counteracts that, even if not nearly enough.

You really benefit from me not knowing that you think prayer is just as important as knowledge in making something work, and I really benefit from you not knowing what depraved things I got up to over the weekend, and someone else really benefits from no one else knowing their stance on abortion before needing some time off for a family matter.

Maybe none of these are exactly the kinds of things the author was talking about. They gave no actual examples and so there is no way to say if what they're talking about actually constitutes breaking professionalism. Professionalism doesn't necessarily mean reserved. You can be enthusiastic and still be proffessional. Maybe that's all they were.
> many companies simply wouldn't release a CLI tool

That's his point, though. Command line tools require a different skillset. If a team has only worked on browser applications, they won't have the skills for command line tools and will need to learn them. Taking time to learn contradicts the grandparent comment, which suggests that people should stay in their lane and that there is nothing worse than forcing developers to work on things they are not already familiar with.

If one is going to hold that developers shouldn't be forced to learn on the job, even if by way of fellow teammates trying new approaches that others will need to maintain, you simply can't have them working on CLI tools and bringing on new teams that will operate independently is the only way to see movement into new areas.
> If it was that deadly and every knew someone who died, they wouldn't go outside.

It's not quite that simple. Some people might be forced to for work or similar. Which the law can provide protection against.
Moaning aside, what is (if any?) the direct equivalent to single-threaded asyncio, like Python or node.js, in Rust?

The thing I enjoy about async in Python is that it's very easy to write "thread"-safe code - you know exactly where you might give up execution context, and 90% of the time you have no need for mutexes and locks. But as this article complains, in Rust, it seems to be sync or multi-threaded.

> I think you've hit upon some interesting examples. Maybe the way to look at this is cost vs "benefit" (in the broadest sense of the word).

This is obviously a better framework to be in.

"If I don't do it someone else will" is really fraught and that's why people reject it.

So one would really need to ask is there a net benefit to having a "mind reading" system out in the world. In fact I find it hard to think of positive use cases that aren't just dwarfed by the possibility of Orwellian/panopticon type hellscapes.
> In 30 years we are going to look back at all the "unequivocally good" electric family cars and wish we'd used the materials and energy on civilizational resilience, not to temporarily extend the unsustainable habits of the planet's richest minority

EVs are key to “civilizational resilience”, when combined with the sharp increase in solar and renewable energy that we’re also going through.

Fantasizing about telling all of society to stop going places isn’t realistic. The future doesn’t have to be miserable to also be sustainable.
that is just total word salad. Please look up what habeas corpus means. It's right there in wikipedia or any other reference work of your choice. Informed consent is not a right.

When I was 15, so.... like 1997? Whatever. I had been writing PHP for a year and was having a bad time at school and life in general and I applied for a job at NeoPets and got through all the interviews and got a $150,000 offer with a relocation package to SF. I was living with my parents in Washington state. They never asked how old I was and I had an orientation call with the HR lady and they were so excited to hire me. Video calls were not really a thing then. After the HR call I walked out of my bedroom and told my mother I had solved all of my problems and was moving to California and she said "WHAT! No you aren't!". Looking back, this disconnect should have maybe been diagnostic criteria for ASD. Lol.

I no showed to the job, obviously.

I did not get another comparable pay package till well into my 30s.

Yes, you could dry it (for an immense energy cost). But now you have a toxic powder. And it's harder to store that powder than it was in slurry form.

I've known people who practise what you describe. Some have come to the conclusion that viruses don't exist and that the earth is flat.

The media is very odd with this; pretty much _every_ time a low-impedance free service launches and retention numbers are available, the media reporting is pretty much "shock, horror, they only have X% weekly/monthly/whatever retention, they are surely doomed", even if X is really rather high for such a service (as it is in the Threads case).

I think people find these stats quite unintuitive.

Like I did end up clicking TFA. It's just some rambling about how some math from QM also describes weather patterns. But the title is clearly bait to get you to think that the weather is somehow quantum.

I'm not a physicist, and I'm not a mathematician - I'm a computer engineer. I've studied physics, and I've studied math. I'm not terrible at it. I should be the target audience for Quanta - someone who isn't a professional but may be interested in new results. However, every time I read one of their articles, I feel dumber (and not in a good way). I can't imagine how someone who didn't go to college or didn't take the physics classes I took is possibly benefited by reading this. I think it could only serve to confuse them.
