I've seen studies explaining their findings as the muscles getting used to only focusing near, as a sort of range of motion thing. One study grouped kids based on the amount of time spent outdoors vs indoors (as a rough proxy of focusing on distant vs only on near things) and showed a statistical difference in myopia rates between the groups.

Reminds me of an interesting comparison between the minds of the painters Raphael and Leonardo - the former was much more prolific (and successful at the time) because he had a template and would crank out art, whereas Leonardo would spend countless hours digging into the underlying context (literally studying muscles and tendons under the skin), which led him to make more impactful pieces by being able to do things like lighten the shadow on a chin due to the reflection of the light on the rest of a body, rather than a hard shadow.

In mathematical optimization theory, duality or the duality principle is the principle that optimization problems may be viewed from either of two perspectives, the primal problem or the dual problem. If the primal is a minimization problem then the dual is a maximization problem (and vice versa). Any feasible solution to the primal (minimization) problem is at least as large as any feasible solution to the dual (maximization) problem.

>Steam recommended they drop their Linux port, saying that just relying on Proton would be better performing & a better use of time. I'm very curious how widespread this advice is. It's a little sad & ironic to me if Proton is now entrenching Windows as the only target platform.

Very. Win32 ABI is the most stable and rock solid compared to the messy moving target of the Linux world, so recommending it is not entrenching Windows, just very good advice to save time and resources to target a platform that's alredy known and stable, and since the target is fixed and well known, it makes it also very easy to emulate on their end for Linux.

As much as FOSS-Linux evangelists hate it, Win32 emulated on Linux is better for everyone, than tryin to port games natively on Linux, and makes the most business sense of you want the same games on Linux.
Arguably, WINE has always been the most stable ABI on Linux. Good luck just getting a 5-year-old binary of any desktop file manager running on a modern Linux installation.

I’m dead serious. Grab a copy of Nautilus or GNOME Files from Ubuntu 16.04; try running it on Ubuntu 22.04. It isn’t easy. Now imagine a game.

I fail to see the harm in making our elections more secure, so long as we do not disenfranchise any legal voters.

It isn't necessary and it does statistically disenfranchise legal voters.

If there is virtually no voter fraud why are you so set on 'making our elections more secure'? These pushes are always started by people who know the truth - they aren't solving an election security problem, they are solving the problem of making people who vote against them have statistically more difficulty to vote.

"Too much capital and too little labor" are ideal conditions for improving the efficiency of production, even if it is just through professionalization.

Asking developers about low code is a little like asking carpenters what they think of IKEA.

Here's the thing about a product like yours. If you're going to expect developers to use your tool, you need to solve the problems developers don't want to do themselves. For example, I like building UI components, so I would never use a platform that forced me to choose from their list of components. For a low code tool to be worth it, it needs to replace a part of the job that I hate, not replace a skillset that I've been lovingly perfecting for years. You need to make it so I don't have to learn something boring, not make all my knowledge useless.

Your customer is not me. Your customer is a PM who can't build but can make the decision to adopt, or a small business owner who doesn't have money to hire real engineers. Just like how Ikea's customer base is largely made of people who don't already know how to build furniture.
> Density is not a problem, it is a solution.

Quite simply, it's not. Densification leads to cost increases. And "more developed"? LOL.

I have analyzed the database of all real estate sales in the US for the last 25 years, and I have not found a single example where densification of a city led to lower prices. Not a single one.

Even so-called "urbanists" admit that: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/change-my-mind-density...

> The issue right now is that we are not allowed to build dense cities
> The market is screaming for the opportunity to build us dense housing. All we have to do is grant it.

Sorry. But you're spewing a bunch of horseshit.

Some forms of densification are allowed pretty much everywhere. It has not led to lower prices even once.

Good ergonomics for Perl-style quick and dirty text processing were part of the original design goals for Ruby. Those parts of the language are still there. You can write code that feels more concise than Python yet, IMO, tends to be more readable/maintainable than Perl can stereotypically be. Modern style guides, however, de-emphasize that style of Ruby since it might not be the most appropriate in the context of say a large Rails project.

As someone with firsthand experience at a “top” consulting firm this article is pretty accurate, albeit with a definite negative slant. A couple parts that really ring true for me are:

> The work will mostly be done by clever but pimply 20-somethings, armed with two-by-two matrix frameworks … What they lack in wisdom will be made up for in long hours.

The structure of consulting firms is that a partner (who does actually have a lot of experience with the industry) will “sell” the work to the client and oversee the team that actually does the work. Partners will sell multiple cases at a time and most of time is spent doing sales so most of the work is done by the consulting team with some guidance from the partner. The consulting team will be comprised of a couple of consultants 1-3 years out of undergrad and couple of consultants 1-3 years out of their MBA and a manager who has maybe 5 years of consulting experience. Usually none of them will have any specific domain knowledge.

> Question everything

Since most of the work is done by (nearly) fresh grads they won’t have a lot of specific industry experience. At the same time it’s hard to find information on the obscure topics they’re researching so the actual information they find will be iffy. Sometimes it will even be made up (they’ll tell the client it’s based on “industry experience” or something but it was probably invented by 23 year old in excel). Regardless the information will be presented to the client as rock solid and scientific (with maybe a little disclaimer at the bottom)

In short:
The people you’re talking to aren’t the people who are doing the actual work,
The people who are doing the work have no industry experience
And the numbers they’re basing their analysis on are probably whatever they found on google.

I know this comment sounds really critical but I do think there is some value in consultants and they are really good at structuring out a problem but the analysis they do is probably 75% accurate at best

Nobody disagrees with this, but this is a very different statement from what you said originally in regards to what the default is. Things can be phased out but still have the old default with no plan to change the default.

Namecheap is passing along 209% of their cost. They're raising prices on their cut more than Verisign is on theirs.
Agreed, I think there is also some cynical protectionism, in that the big distributors and producers want to maintain their monopoly, and so they lobby against new craft producer licenses that would compete with them.

An example is the Type 75 "brewpub" license in CA, which lets a brewery sell their beer on-premises. The distributors lobbied to smuggle in a requirement that a Type 75 has to have at least one beer on tap that is bought from a distributor and not brewed on-site. There's no defensible reason for this requirement, it's pure pork. Distributors just want to make it harder for brewpubs to enter the market and compete with them, and ensure they get a kickback from every brewpub that does open.

Im not going to list every single state but its very similar elsewhere. Dismissed for standing, jurisdiction, or trumps team dropped the suit voluntarily.

The statue of limitations is VERY short for elections.

Going back to the Catch 22, many of the personal testimonies the trump legal trump had saying they witnessed fraud were thrown out or could not be used until a trial. So, he cannot use a subpoena , and his witnesses were not allowed to testify. What would you recommend he do?

So now you get crazy schemes like Mr Pillow to collect data during the election so they have something to bring to court. At least that sounds like their plan no matter how wacky it is.

Now, I dont believe that Trump won. But I do believe they should've gave the guy his day in court. To deny someone that on the basis that they will just keep coming back looking elsewhere is not right.

By denying his day in court you have emboldened their supporters and disenfranchised independent voters who want secure elections, like myself.

But not all complexity that we see is needed for precise expression. Like, if romance languages like Spanish and French did not require nouns and adjectives to agree on gender, but instead only the noun needed to carry gender info, that would not obligate the vocabulary to get more complex.

Similarly English has rules about the order of adjectives (Clifford is a big, red dog, not a red, big dog) and the presence of those rules didn't simplify the vocabulary.
