I used to believe the American feel-good propaganda that "we just had to nuke the Japanese, OK? We saved more lives.".

Then I gained perspective, and learned that Japan's navy had been entirely wiped out (EDIT: and the air force) the Japanese were trying to negotiate a surrender, but the US wouldn't budge on something as minor as allowing to keep Hirohito as figurehead emperor (which they eventually did after they surrendered after the nukes).

It was racism, plain and simple. Actually, it's more than racism, I'm not sure that word explains it. This isn't the relatively mild white-on-black racism of 1940s America. This is a much different level of racism, where Americans saw the Japanese as complete subhumans not even worth morally debating over. The Americans spent years building those bombs, so they must have thought it was anti-climactic not to try them. They didn't want to use them near the white people in Europe, so who best than a remote island of people you don't even view as humans, to the point where you put your own citizens in internment camps for sharing an ethnicity with them?

But I see so many Americans clinging to the myth that the nukes were a utilitarian moral choice. Admitting the truth to themselves would raise some questions about their country which clash with the perception they have.

It's amazing how even open source software is becoming tainted by surveillance. We can no longer assume that code written by our peers will be free of such nonsense.

I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't managing to do that consistently.
Given that OpenAI is probably more poplar with people interested in technology I suspect most users would use a password manager and generate unique passwords.
I work in security though so maybe I’m just surrounded by people that do.

I’ve combed through thousands of credential dumps to perform password stuffing attacks and the success rate is always very low.

I would be shocked if the sellers hadn’t already taken any credentials that work against the associated email account out before they listed the dumps for sale, given that email account access is way more valuable than access to someone’s OpenAI account.
I could swear one of his research projects involved asking people to make a mug and pricing it out after they finished. But I guess it was Kahneman that researched mugs? Whoops

Compared to doing distributed systems in DCOM/CORBA using C and C++ for example, that is one of the reasons it took off.

Many that like to bash Java EE, have no clue how bad it was before it came to be, it wasn't only Sun's marketing pushing it.

It isn't by accident that RMI had interoperability with CORBA.
VRML is still around — it became X3D. It's a different file format but the semantics are much the same.

All the plugins that used to be needed to display VRML online are gone now, but you can still display VRML 2.0/97 files online using JavaScript library called X_ITE [1]. I used it recently to view some old VRML I had saved but could no longer view. Works great.

I suspect that GP believes that US-supported strongmen and right wing dictators in Latin America were US adversaries, rather than useful, crafted actors for US interests in their countries, who were managed and supported until and unless they markedly diverged from US interests.

If you’re swimming in a sea of US-standard media and patriotic narratives, I suppose it’s easier to believe the former rather than the latter.
I think it's interesting that people fight over legalization, safer methods, alternatives, etc.

Why is nobody really asking why our society is so broken that everyone is looking for an escape, even now knowing they may die, and how we even begin to address that?
It's partially true. Layout and repaint are two separate rendering phases. Repaint happens asynchronously, as you point out. But layout (i.e. calculating heights, widths, etc of each box) is more complicated. If the browser can get away with it, it will batch potential layout changes until directly before the repaint - if you do ten DOM updates in a single tick, you'll get one layout calculation (followed by one repaint).

But if you mix updates and reads, the browser needs to recalculate the layout before the read occurs, otherwise the read may not be correct. For example, if you change the font size of an element and then read the element height, the browser will need to rerun layout calculation between those two points to make sure that the change in font size hasn't updated the element height in the meantime. If these reads and writes are all synchronous, then this forces the layout calculations to happen synchronously as well.

So if you do ten DOM updates interspersed with ten DOM reads in a single tick, you'll now get ten layout calculations (followed by one repaint).

This is called layout thrashing, and it's something that can typically be solved by using a modern framework, or by using a tool like fastdom which helps with batching reads and writes so that all reads always happen before all writes in a given tick.

US drug overdose deaths breaks records. All those people died because someone produced the dug then sold it to victims for profit. «Kill Americans for joy and profit» doesn't look bad enough in your eyes?
Ok, I've randomized the username and closed the account.
The options listed in the post are in my opinion exactly the ones that are exactly where they need to be. You want to change something about email - you go to the Mail app, something about calling - FaceTime etc.

The system settings app itself has been undergoing changes to make it more similar to iOS, I like that now I can find things on the same place they’re on my phone… but it gets confusing for more desktop-specific items (e.g. display/screen saver/night shift options are in different sections etc)
Ads aren’t less valuable, they’re now just not being over indexed by analytics products produced by advertising companies.

Marketing as a function will be better off once they wean themselves off of adtech attribution models.
I speak of looking for the root causes of addiction and trying to solve those things.

Infamously Warsaw:

> Well, for me, the idea comes from having been in Tokyo and seeing almost zero non-Japanese (looking people) compared to basically any large city in the West. Some of them could have been Korean etc though which is why I asked.

The largest immigrant group in Japan is Chinese (including PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong); second largest is Koreans. Many of the Korean ethnic minority are descendants of those who immigrated in the first half of the 20th century (when Korea was ruled by Japan), much of whom have never become Japanese citizens (Japanese citizenship is based on descent not birthplace–a very common policy worldwide), although there has also been much more recent immigration from South Korea. Another major immigrant group are Brazilians of Japanese descent.

I've only been to Japan once (on business), but while I was there I was introduced both to Koreans and to Japanese Brazilians; my Brazilian colleague was not expecting conversing in his native tongue to be a feature of that trip.

> the two I’m familiar with, Poland and Hungary, are notoriously anti immigration (at least within the context of the EU).

Poland and Hungary are opposed to accepting large numbers of refugees, especially non-European refugees.

But they aren't opposed to immigration in general. In 2021, legal foreign residents of Poland included [0] over 250,000 Ukrainians (mostly refugees), over 30,000 Belarusians, over 20,000 Germans, over 12,000 Russians; Poland doesn't restrict immigration only to the EU (or Europe), since the fifth highest foreign citizenship in Poland is Vietnam (over 10,000) and the eighth highest is China (over 6,000). Similarly, in 2022 Hungary [1] had over 17,000 legally resident Chinese citizens (third only to Ukraine and Germany; a decline from its 2018 peak when it was almost 20,000) and over 6,000 legally resident Vietnamese citizens (sixth most common foreign citizenship).

Citizens of most OECD countries do not find it difficult to be accepted for immigration by Poland or Hungary; low demand is a bigger limit on their numbers than government policy.

If you want to talk about a country which really is anti-immigrant, Saudi Arabia is a good example – although it has millions of temporary foreign residents, gaining permanent residency was basically impossible prior to 2019; now it is available, but only if you can afford the fee–over US$200,000. Acquiring citizenship is still extremely difficult, up to the selective whims of very senior government officials; the only people who have reasonable odds of being successful in their application are foreign women who marry Saudi men. Becoming a permanent resident or even citizen of Poland or Hungary is vastly easier.

140,000 people a year dead from alcohol means nothing to you?

And it's not just the deaths, it's destroyed so many lives in so many ways, from car accidents to domestic violence. It's a dangerous drug and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous at best.

I know that this is yet another article about how an emergency shift to a novel form of education maybe wasn't ideal for a quality education, but when has school ever completely prepared someone for whatever path they take in life? Didn't for me when I graduated. There is so much to learn, so much specific knowledge out there, that it's impossible to cram it all into X years of schooling. Best you can do is teach them the broad, base level stuff, give them some opportunities and connections to get started, and help them build the skills to learn new things efficiently. Learning doesn't stop when school ends.

Argonne is a highly regarded national lab; results from there would be highly credible. Also an Argonne staffer has gone on record[0] saying that they're attempting to replicate, while other labs have not said whether they're trying or not.

Personally I'm waiting for the Argonne results which should be done by the end of the week.

That is a consequence of lack of reflection, not sum types.
I’m sorry but you do not understand local culture and are fact free hallucinating.

This has nothing to do with investors and everything with the founding generation having seen the impact of opium dens (there were a lot here) and acting hard and fast on it.

The country has no natural resources, all the investments they do go into their people, especially though education. Drugs disable a part of that investment, they won’t have it. It’s not magical caring either, You just don’t get to do things that deprive the country of your labor. We just about decriminalized suicide here.

And because of the island with 5 points of entry situation, they actually can make it work for them.

3 of those are preinstalled on devices by their corporate owners (Safari is literally imposed on all iOS users). Opera today is really a VPN/proxy/bandwidth optimiser for bandwidth-poor Asian markets, and iirc is government-mandated in some cases.

Firefox can do better for sure, but its competitors basically cheat.
I wonder how much they would be interested, when we finally catch up with the other industries, and liability becomes a real thing.

Of course you're not. I was just speaking from quickly browsing this thread at time of writing.

It seems abundantly clear to me(and probably you) that something is deeply wrong with our society. I've known people who made good money and in large houses just OD and die out of (seemingly) nowhere. Why is everyone so unhappy? Or is it that we've always been, and now we just have the means to act on it?
It's funny, cause liability can scale, so if all of this can be hacked and will be hacked, the lawsuits by companies will bury Microsoft?
Same with Material Shell for me. I can no longer live without it.
Like when the US pretends like Saudi Arabia didn't sponsor terrorist attacks and so continue to sell them weapons and buy oil?
The design of cars has evolved a lot, mainly because of security regulations. Cities is another topic. They change slowly because of the required investment but in europe at least there is definitely a trend toward walkable blocks which changes a lot of urbanisation guidelines.

I agree with your first sentence: things are unpopular by default. However I disagree with your assumption: web components won't become magically popular overtime without a good reason for them to be used over all the other options. Your "flavor-of-the-month" take ignores the fact that react is now 10 years old and is boring tech. It is still one of the most widely used frontend framework.

That's what happens when you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. Half the population doesn't have a backbone these days, all they care about is being inconvenienced.

In short: ESG measures the worlds impact on the company NOT the company's impact on the world.

Better ESG score means company is more resilient to change in those factors.
Except

1. 'Environmental' covers being net-good for the environment, neither meaning not damaging the environment at all nor meaning resilient against environmental changes. So it doesn't hedge anything.

2. 'Social' covers increasing the percentage of employees that are of disadvantaged minority groups, not decreasing the percentage of employees that are anonymously observed to be overpaid/incompetent. It's fun to pretend the one leads to the other, but in reality the exact opposite happens, as minority preference almost perfectly supplants network preference doing exactly the same thing in the same way. This one may as well be the 'G' of ESG, for 'Goodhart'.

3. 'Governance' is the only one that is actually a shareholder value, instead of a progressive-social-club value, and basically is there to launder the other two.

They also were once common for manual drafting.

I have several and in my engineering and drafting education were referred to as drafting pencils. They have that cool whirly sharpener too.

One of fmy favorite holdovers from the old world is that you can still buy them, along with a few other basic hand drafting tools from office supply stores like office depot. Stadler is one of the big brands.

The Kickstarter page shows that the author has already received the amount of money they asked for (and more). So they should be OK with their book being distributed for free to the rest of the world.

Or do you think the author should use some form of DRM to control what people do with their book?
This is more than a nitpick. If you want to define static in a way not implied by common usage, you could say that even a blank piece of paper is not static because it’s made of atoms, or orbiting the sun, or whatever. They clearly meant static in the sense that it’s not a video.
The settings in MacOS have become increasingly more frustrating. Especially security or privacy permissions given to applications.

I installed a capture card recently that needed a kernel extension and after agreeing a confirmation box to install the extension I couldn’t find anywhere in the settings to remove it. In the end I just deleted the file and rebooted.

I had Teams in the browser ask if it could access files in my Downloads directory which I mistakenly agreed to, this took a good ten minutes to find and revoke and I can’t remember off the top of my head where the setting even was.

A lot of this is down to more granular privacy and security settings but it’s difficult to find the settings you are looking for.

But in terms of how they are are "more" open, you can side load any app you want, and the headset supports open standards at both the app level (OpenXR) and browser level (WebXR).
The main limitation of web components for me is that all data needs to be passed to the component attributes as strings. Wish we could pass objects and arrays without JSON.stringify-ing them.
