Who is that human? Is it a singular person? Is that person paid by the store that has incentives to promote an inferior product with higher margins than a better product for less margin? So many questions which leads me to one of my own…what do I find as a reputable reviewer? At this point in the game, I have so little faith in reviewers, I don’t know how to answer that honestly. Even a site dedicated to “honest” reviews would immediately be suspect in my mind. How are they making money? Who is paying for the items they are reviewing? These types of questions are the ones that always give me pause in accepting credentials

I don't see this as a "making fun of people" thing. It feels to me more like an open acknowledgement that there are a large number of negative health impacts associated with poverty, and it really sucks.

Maybe there's a cultural thing here. English humor is pretty self-deprecating: the term "Shit Life Syndrome" is the kind of phrase that fits the English mindset pretty well.
That's very consistent with what we know of the CCP's ideological objectives.

Depends, many devs are too keen in using only Chrome and shipping desktop applications packaged in a Chrome shell, because "writing portable code is soooo hard.".

Many of whom only care about Safari, because contrary to Firefox, Apple gets to say Chrome doesn't own their platforms.
Interesting discussion!

There are some exciting things that could be done with an ASIC, but at the same time an ASIC would require extensive supply chain security to be in place (which is a big task). There are a lot of hands touching the design and silicon from point of design sign-off, to ASICs in your hand.

Supply chain attack is more difficult on a FPGAs, partly by processes implemented by the vendors and partly by the fact how FPGAs work, since there is no functionality in the FPGA, malware injection is more difficult (close to impossible?).

Glad to hear your reasoning around this.

(Full disclosure: I work at Tillitis)
First of all, check the usernames, I’m not the person you originally replied to, I’m just somebody pointing out the insanity of your comments.

Second, once again, your cognitive dissonance is showing badly. You’re applying very US-centric culture and forcing it on Europeans. This isn’t about being “in the minority”. It’s pointing out that any non-American can see right through “just how inclusive” you really are.
I’m not sure about WebGPU, but WebUSB was pushed through by Google without any regard at all for Mozilla’s and Apple’s concerns, so it’s not too surprising it’s a Chrome exclusive.
How did we get to the point where simple and effective server-side pages are either unknown as a way of doing things or are considered to be a technical heresy?

Younger developers scoff at us fossils and the olden ways, but this is exactly how this ignorance of classic, tried-and-true, performant patterns results in atrocious complexity and performance, only because "this is how things are done".

It HAS to be a BFF, it HAS to be 15 different microservices and 20 different AWS toys, right? There is no other way? Are you sure?

It seems like we are talking about the whole industry, but it's largely he Node ecosystem in my experience (which is effectively - the industry). It's not like there is not Rails development being done out there, with nothing but a trusty Postgres database.

Ironically, our existing architecture patterns are beginning to resemble J2EE - a bulky, slow, expensive, boiler-plate-laden process where a simple site costs one million dollars and performs like shit.
In very brief summary:

1. A lot of shallow work doesn’t need to happen at all. It’s not about offloading it, it’s about stopping altogether, or automating it.

2. When this isn’t possible, structure your workday to preserve uninterrupted blocks of deep work. Do the shallow tasks mindfully in batches, instead of letting them constantly steal your attention throughout the day.

3. Use tools like your calendar to schedule shallow and deep periods of work.

A big part of the book is focused on defining the problems that constant interruptions cause so as to deepen the motivation to actually institute habit changes.

He was also ahead of the curve encouraging people to step away from social media in favor of local interactions.

I personally read the book as a person who is probably the poster child for being a “victim” of “EFT”. I was in a role where my attention was constantly demanded/stolen, and I needed to find strategies to make the best of the situation. At no point was this exploration about offloading things to other people.

It’s a good book, and I highly recommend that people read it. Now more than ever.

It’s also worth noting that his next books were “Digital Minimalism” and “A world without email”. He focuses on the theme of technology and information overload. Issues that I think many people are starting to realize are a real problem in their lives.
> People are comfortable on the streets

Ugh, I don't know if you're American or not but this is such an American take. It springs from the idea that homeless people prefer the streets to, say, a shelter without examining why that might be true.

Shelters are dangerous [1]. They also often come with forced indoctrination and/or highly restrictive curfews and the high risk of your things being stolen.

None of these things are a factor if you give people permanent shelter.

There might be people who have lived on the streets so long they have serious mental health issues or it's greatly exacerbated existing mental health issues. In either case, isn't it better to remove people from the streets before this happens? Also, this is the minority. Why would we not give permanent housing to the majority who have simply been priced out of the housing market because of a few with mental health issues because or (or worsened by) their homeless situation?

> People are severely disabled by mental illness or addiction

Again, this can be paraphrased as "we can't give people housing because some of them can't manage housing because of the issues created by not having housing". Just think about that for a second.

You don't seem the majority of homeless people. Why? Because they're at the first or second stage of homeless, which is couchsurfing (or other temporary accomodation) or living in their car, respectively.

Addiction often comes after becoming homeless. Why? Self-medication in a desperate situation.

> So your shelter for one man will end up being a flophouse for a rotating cast of shady types

This is NIMBY propaganda. If everyone has shelter, why is there a reason to one house to become a flop house for "shady types"? Basically, this argument boils down to "we can't give anyone shelter because we can't give everyone shelter". It's a deflection tactic. Don't fall for it.

The real problem here is that Americans (in particular) view poverty and homelessness as a moral failure and personal failing. It's not. It's the result of the profit motive for a basic human necessity. It can be remarkably cheap to make a substantial difference for homeless people [2].

The Softbank line was definitely a joke.
Would the 2008 Obama campaign be a counter argument to this? So yes his schtick was “change from Bush”, but was it really hatred from the mass movement? I don’t recall feeling that back then, but definitely feeling a more inspirational vibe.
You don’t get it. It’s uncivil to police jokes.

Instead of starting with blame and condescension of your own, try to seek understanding from the people you accuse.

Every profession that is about caring for other people have these jokes because it is necessary to maintain some distance from human suffering to remain professionally functional. Humour makes it possible to maintain two dissonant thoughts in one’s head.

It’s in the very website linked here. The sense of powerlessness and malaise and desperation shared between the patients and their caregivers. What else does one do to come into work the next day and keep at working to improve a hopeless task?
I just did a check on that document, here are the stats, apparently it was a few more pages than I remembered:

Pages 31

Unfortunately I can not find exact statistics on the writing activity. So that's roughly within the ballpark of your maximum. I was pretty happy with this particular report and so was the customer, but to do that kind of thing sustainably would be beyond me.

Edit: and, more so because this was before COVID and that hit me pretty hard.
We need less API/standard, not more.

To have more competition in web devtools, we need to simplify the web standard so more browser can appear instead of forcing some new fancy API on our almost monopoly.

You are out of date. CRISPR is extremely effective in live patients, usually packaged in a virus or lipid nano particle.

While CRISPR is often used in cultured cells (eg for CAR T therapies) there are CRISPR therapeutics in live human patients today in phase 3 trials for sickle cell disease (among other indications).
What makes the Boox tablets unique isn't their Linux kernel, it's their customizations to Android to make the UI more usable on a slow e-Ink display. They could release their kernel sources to comply with the GPL and still keep their Android skin to themselves, just like every other Android device manufacturer does.
It seems like a kind of strange strategy for click fraud. A KU subscription is $10, Amazon takes a 30% cut, and for $700 a month you would need 100 KU bots with unique accounts and payment info.
"I find it funny that the author suggests that husbands have more time for hobbies and friends;"

It's not funny - it's the designed outcome. The studies are generally biased from the start to exclude stereotypical men's work. From the Michigan study:

"Excluded from these “core” housework hours were tasks like gardening, home repairs, or washing the car."

Or from the article:

"Is their decision-making ability wholly captured in those tasks while the other person is getting to relax or to plan a project?"

As if planning a project isn't work and isn't composed of a whole bunch of smaller decisions.

"I also wonder how much the higher standards plays a part in this kind of thing. If person A believes tasks like vacuuming need to occur weekly, and person B believes they need to occur bi-weekly..."

This is huge in my experience. One factor is stuff like OCD or expectations of how that person was raised. The other overlooked one is "ownership" or responsibility. It was a point of pride to maintain the home and recieve compliments on or (or maintain the lawn/car/etc). Now it seems it's all about the biggest paycheck or most prestigious job.

> The majority of the Earth's population is intolerant to lactose

I don't believe this is true of infants, people tend to develop lactose intolerance as they mature. Milk is an exceptionally good source of all kinds of vitamins, minerals, fats and even protein. Seems crazy, but studies have found that you absorb milk faster than water when dehydrated.

It's unprofessional and degrading. I'm going to take a wild guess that the two replies to my comment are from people that don't know what it's like to have "shit life syndrome". Maybe I'm triggered because I've lived it and if I heard a doctor say that about me I'd knock them out
The state can (and does) tax cryptocurrency. Why wouldn’t they be able to?
Totally agree, so many things people get strong feelings about customizing workflows--note taking, todo lists, personal document management, inventory of goods, etc.--are really just a sqlite database with some nice custom views and interfaces. I could definitely see a future where datasette or similar tools can replace some of that stuff.

Access is probably caught in a weird spot internally at MS. If they put effort into it then it just removes some of the need to sell proper SQL server or azure cloud database tech. Better to just limp it along then start internal wars with bigger organizations/products.

I recently bought a NUC (well, two, but only because they're cute) and I needed a boring OS to run my Harbormaster containers on, so I installed Debian.

It's been perfect in the few days I've had it, because I don't have to dodge Ubuntu's ads left and right, or worry about what the hell snaps are doing. Otherwise, it's basically the same as Ubuntu. I very much recommend it.

Thanks to Chrome worshipping, there is no Web anymore, Apple is the only wall preventing Web developers to replace Web with ChromeOS on their CV.
That's not really how I remember it. I remember everyone switching to Mozilla and Firefox because they had great features around bookmarks, themes, and extensions. Then I remember everyone switching to Chrome because it was so fast to launch.

Meanwhile, devs were still targeting IE because it was where the users were. It was totally preferable to develop for Chrome or Firefox, but I recall spending countless hours still getting that stuff to IE, because that's what customers were using.

Sure, developers helped speed along adoption, but I think the new browsers ultimately succeeded because they're better products for the customer.

It really depends on what they are doing with ChatGPT. Lots of people use it like a team member and these people are often amazed at first and later frustrated . When people worn with it programmatically or as part of their flow then I never see them stepping away from ChatGPT and other LLMs that are able to generate results. Look at the research into agent based problem exploration. Using the right combination of prompts, result storage and further prompting mixing results with the further prompts, amazing results are possible.

You really don't have to have a charging station where you live unless you have a tiny range: I have been driving a Tesla Model 3 (Long Range) for a year now, and I just "go fill up" at a super-charger like I used to with a gas car.

BTW: this might even be better for the battery than slower home charging, despite a lot of assumptions people make about how there has to be a trade-off for "super" charging; and like, even if it's bad, it isn't that bad.

My personal theory about allergy is that allergies are caused by co-occcurence of mild poisons that are not directly detectable by our immune systems (like air pollution) and harmless, easily recognizable benign things like pollen. Our bodies notice the poison damage but pinpoint the source wrongly and trigger responses that evolved in us to help us get rid of actual fitotoxins.

Phonetic change in an Antarctic winter (2019)
Hey, I live there! Emigrated from the good old US of A two years ago.

I want to point out one upstream reason why this is possible which isn't really talked about enough: On the margin, Finland has been better at providing actual numbers of rental units than any of the major cities I lived in in the US (Boston, NYC, Chicago).

I live in one of those hundred-story virtually unadorned 'concrete suburbs' on the edge of town and the fact my rent is closer to 10% than 50% of my income is astonishing to me. I paid more for a single subletted room in the States than I ever have for rent here. Astonishing, and I hope to fight tooth and nail to keep the housing and especially apartment supply healthy in the years to come.

N.B.: Rent in Helsinki is still kind of nuts for now, partly because it's the first stop for most of us foreigners. I don't live there, pretty much for that reason: A 10% increase in take home pay doesn't mean anything is it's eaten twice over by rent. But if you can learn Finnish well enough to live and work elsewhere, the laws of supply and demand suddenly tilt much more in your favor. steeples hands

And the great thing about those tools is that Datasette doesn't need to replace them - SQLite becomes the integration layer, so you can use any tool you like that provides a neat UI to storing data in SQLite, then use Datasette itself directly against that same database when you need to run your own SQL or integrate with other JSON apps or run custom plugins.
The problem with American treatments of homeless, drug addiction, even public health is the idea that EVERYONE has some level of personal responsibility – that there is a minimum threshold to "earn" something that you have to do and if you don't, you deserve your fate. And this transforms into public resentment because "if they aren't willing to do the bare minimum, why should my tax dollars support them?"

We need to get away from thinking about these problems as a way to force people to "earn" the relief, and instead think about the resolutions as a way of making everyone else's life better. I don't like that there is homelessness. I don't like seeing drug addicts poop in the street. I want folks in that situation to be taken care of for MY sake – to make my city better, to relieve me of the moral burden of thinking about people suffering, etc.

Because here's the thing: Some people are NEVER going to be able to maintain responsibility. Some people are NEVER going to be upstanding adults. NO MATTER WHAT we put them through, the worst prisons, the worst homelessness, the most outrageous policing, they're just never going to change. There is no remedy that solves this problem with a burden on the unhoused individual. It's society deciding to solve the problem REGARDLESS of whether the individual has "earned" the resolution.
A sharp increase in nut allergies was seen when pregnant women were advised to avoid nuts, just in case. It actually caused more allergies because the fetus wasn't exposed to small amounts and so never learned to not overreact.

For a category of software as "boring" as an OS is, I really agree that "just working" is the ultimate, almost sacred quality. I simply can't stand anymore the incessant ritual of software updates, and even the rhythm of something cutting edge like VS Code, on my Ubuntu LTS, is slightly too frequent for my taste.
