Thing is, Firefox doesn't break extensions with malice. I'll take a hundred "oops, our update broke some extensions", or, more fairly, "we broke a lot of extensions to provide orders-of-magnitude better performance", over a single instance of "Fuck your AdBlocker, it's cutting into our profit margins".

That latter category of breakage, which Firefox has never done, and has no motive to, is the reason I will never use the shameless antitrust-case-in-waiting Chrome, or any of it's pseudo-independent offspring.
I think we just need to ask: what are the most common causes of this type of inflammation? Probably depression, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. So, the options are:

- inactive people use social media more, and the inactivity causes inflammation due to heart disease / diabetes
- depression causes inflammation, and depressed people use social media more
- social media causes depression, which causes inflammation

I found it interesting that the article made no mention of Sinitic languages even though they’re the most obviously different. Personally I have found that many Mandarin speakers will accidentally misgender people in English since the Mandarin words for “he” and “she” are homophones.
Clearly, archiving is just the same as your personal programming projects.
This is worth it. I purged my collection years ago. All I kept were my top 3 or so favorite artists, which were too obscure to replace, and bands I did shared gigs with or played in, and a few of my favorite studio albums I recorded.

I started collecting on bandcamp and it was really refreshing. I picked up a few albums I used to own, but maybe only 1-2% of my collection. I like how they show you music that was purchased by people who share some albums in their collection with you.

I tried streaming for a few weeks. It didn’t feel right, like I was ripping off the artist. I’d rather support bands I like by buying their album. I’d have to stream them thousands of times to give the same level of support as an album purchase.

But of course I’m just a hypocrite because I stream television. Then again, I never collected video.
I commented elsewhere about ADHD. So here is a story about a myself I won't name. O_o

My Thursday night girlfriend wanted me to clean up an old MacBook. Just a few steps, unlinking accounts tied to hardware, figuring out how to remove a firmware key some other me must have set, a clean install, updates, etc.

It took me 6 months, because several steps or restarts took more than single digit seconds ... and my work was a siren.

After many aborted attempts, I put it on my desk next to my keyboard. It only took 30 minutes, spread across 6 hours. Victory!

If someone chained my hands to the laptop it would have gone faster, but the suffering incurred by the forced observation of blank screens, status bars and busy balls would have been unimaginable.
Yes it does. See sibling comment by 5e92cb50239222b:

The more plausible evolution is that people drawing the base concept are not "commercial illustrators" nor have art training.

If a magazine editor with run of the mill drawing skill can feed the prompt a sketch with stick figures and object outlines, and get back a good enough rendition with an improved composition, the job of the illustrator will be a side job of that editor.

I'm partial to the argument that being able to fix the generated image in post is a valuable skill, but on that part we already have decades of progress and people are usually more comfortable with editing tools than drawing tools.

> "Just localization" isn't "just". Many people have the wrong localization on their computers.

Think about this for a minute longer. Do you have an example or scenario for the use of a Web site where the author can fall into a pit of success (despite having the user's wrong localization) on all things except for dates and that would be broken by allowing* this date input method?

Even ignoring that:

What I said was that "any permutation of full year, full month name, and day of the month is unambiguous". There are a finite number of months and a finite number of localized tokens for representing those months. Do you have an example of two different locales that use the same token (or token sequence) to denote different months on the calendar?

* the word "allowing" playing a crucial role here
Sadly those devices are only Google and Nexus, so expensive.
And yet another side effect, the one that I believe trumps them all: a loss of meaning.

If somebody with zero skill in the arts can produce output of similar quality as a craftsman and about a thousand times faster, what is the point of art anymore? Sure, one can enjoy the very act of creating art, but we can't deny that art has value in relation to an audience, and is also a display of skill and a source of pride.

What if AI generates the perfect music just for you, based on your taste? Here we lose any and all social/cultural aspects of music. There's no point in discussing music as we have no shared experience. There's no point in emphasizing your favorite song because everybody exclusively listens to favorite songs.

What if you need to write a long essay and use AI to help write it. I receive it and use AI to summarize it. Other than this interaction being supremely depressing, what is the point of it at all? Just submit it to the big machine and perhaps some of it will show up in my use of ChatGPT-17.

So you were faster to write something whilst I was faster to consume it. This allows the both of us to do more in a single day. This "big win" won't gives us back free time nor raise our wages though. I just means that the nature of the work is for us to take the job of being guard rails for AI, a soul crushing job in itself but also temporary, until the rails are no longer needed.
This is an interesting argument. I own my computer and network, should I not be allowed to control what content is or is not allowed in my network?

If the site offers an ad-free paid subscription model, that's reasonable. I mean, it'd be much better just to redirect to the sign-up page. However, if the site is so user hostile that they think bombarding users with invasive ads is the only way to monetise, well that's on them.
Drunk driving is way more common than you might think.

If we’re ready to cut off ~10% (or more) of drivers for life, we should bite the bullet and mandate ignition interlocks.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. But enforcement needs to help people make the right choice, not just be a lottery for ruining lives in car-dependent places (unfortunately most of the US).

The contract of the web is:

- I ask for a resource
- you give it to me
- any linked resources (stylesheets, scripts, images etc) are up to me to request

Therefore there is no "ethical" conundrum in blocking ads. The ad industry brought this on themselves by trying to push malware, spam and actively trying to make the web worse.
I adore Crockford's literary style of writing code, with copious comments, etc. I think there's a reason devs write so much more code than they read; code isn't written to be read, so it's a more significant cognitive load.

I wish I had the courage (?) to write verbose comments into my code at work, but I also want to keep it tidy for everyone.
I think this is a key to the argument for ad-block. If it was literally just banner ads without tracking, sure, go right ahead. Modern web advertising is so much more than that (aggressive tracking, data collection without consent, or worse).

You should adjust your expectations. All anecdotal, but where I lived before now there were 5 incomes in a single household. The people who lived there before us had 4. In my own prior housing it was 3. Where I live now there's just 2. It's pretty common, housing is expensive and jobs don't pay enough. It's difficult to find housing at all on just one income. My fiancee and I had to lightly massage some numbers to meet the income requirements for our current housing.

That totally sucks. When I was at Google I was asked to do a few of these interviews, and from my perspective I loved them. They counted towards good citizenship, but you didn't have to do a write-up. Literally all you had to do was present a realistic view of the company, positives and negatives. And have a good vibe.

I was always honest with candidates and tried to give them advice to navigate the hiring process and the first few weeks of work. I told them what work would realistically be like. Some joined, some didn't, but I like to think I gave them a good perspective on the company in a non-judging, non-interview environment.

I was in the final stage for a YC company and met the CEO at the final interview. I had already kind of messed up the technical interview so I wasn’t feeling too great about talking to him to begin with. He opened with an introduction of himself and told me the history of the company which was fine, and asked if I had any questions. I asked him what were some challenges that he faced during the growth of the company. his answer was that “people challenges” were among the hardest of problems that he had. Fair enough, but he gave only one example: having to let go of an engineer that was underperforming.

I didn’t get the offer, but I didn’t want to work for somebody who would say that to an engineer applying for a job. (plus they had the weirdest stack i’ve ever seen)
If SyncThing works for your use case, I agree that you should choose it over git-annex. However, git-annex is also much more flexible than SyncThing.

For example, if you want to protect your music collection from accidental changes and are willing to use it manually from the command line, git-annex will work better. Or when I used it for my music, I had a branch for all my lossless files, and then a separate branch for curated and transcoded files that I used for syncing to devices with less disc space. (Perhaps not the most useful example, but the point is that there are a bunch of git-annex workflows that have no parallel in SyncThing or similar tools.)

>if the party isn’t aligned that way

What party? It's very strange that the democratic party exists in two states within America - the boogeyman democratic party on Fox News, and the actual democratic party that votes in congress. What trans "agenda" is the democratic party actually pushing?

This boogeyman democratic party seems to only exist so that conservatives can hide behind the label of "centrist". In this alternative universe, AOC is the president instead of a Representative (she's not even a Senator!).
To be fair, contactors are usually quite an expensive component. Replacements for the high end Teslas are $150 each used (and there's 2 of them).

That said, like you said, if it overheats it's a contactor defect. They're either on or off and doesn't switch live loads. They shouldn't be using the same contactor in the GT as they use in the lower end models, purely because the GT has a much higher current draw under load.

What on earth makes you convinced that a monad can be implemented in Excel? You don't understand what a monad is, so you can't know whether Excel is "perfectly capable" of it or not.

Read a bunch of monad tutorials, learn Haskell, hey, even develop some "mathematical maturity" if you can get over your disdain for math. That is the way to make progress.

It's not helpful to want monads to be tangible objects. It doesn't matter how much you want it. The world doesn't work like that.

Different strokes for different folks. I quite like PA in relation to other cities on the peninsula. It's upscale, has a good mix of cuisines and fanciness/expense for them, has interesting differing types of shops to explore on a few different streets so it isn't just me main strip like Castro in Mountain View, or Laurel in San Carlos, and is generally safe and clean.

I'm not sure what would make it more appealing to you, but it may be that you're just seeking a different vibe or are at a different point in your life where you may not value some of those things the same.

Verbs like "победить" (used for serious competitions, conflicts, wars) are closer to an exception like irregular verbs and often in such cases people use synonyms like "я выиграю" (usually used for games). Sometimes "я побежу" can be used, especially by kids, but because it sounds "unnatural", it is not recognized as part of the literary language.

Weir was so mesmerized by him that he stopped looking for a bar and hung out with Jerry. The rest is history

When economists talk about production in the context of an economy they always mean the value of that production. Economic growth never implies the raw quantity of economic production increased regardless of its value. That's a contradiction in terms. If an economy increases production of some finished good by 50% yet the value of that finished good declined that was not economic growth it was a contraction.

Economic growth literally means the value of goods and services produced by the economy rose. It does not mean "monetary value" in one place or "number of widgets" in another place. Robin Hanson is not confused here by what he means by economic growth and his argument does not rely on some ambiguity in terms.

>>You can produce the exact same amount of potatoes, if the value of a kg of potatoes increases, the GDP rises.

Yes, of course.

>>If you look at the value of oil to gauge its production, there's one day in 2020 when we sent oil back to earth[1].

I'm not sure what this is supposed to illustrate. If a finished good or service does not have value then it cannot contribute to economic growth. The entire point of an economy is to produce goods that have value.
