This. Unfortunately today, the desktop is an afterthought and everything is designed for “mobile first”.
I even see this in SaaS apps that should actually never be used on a phone. Or desktop OSes like windows and mac are increasingly using mobile paradigms on the desktop.

There is so much whitespace, huge fonts, huge buttons, hamburger popup menu everywhere (aaaargh!!)

Basically it boils down to the “information density” which is dumbed down to the lowest possible denominator.

There should be a measure for this and websites/apps should be rates based on that.

The world is a little too safe. Part of hacking is using things in ways "incompatible with their labeling". Sure, they took on some risks, but so what? They didn't hurt others, except I suppose the chickens. They are their risks to take. Do you disapprove of people who hotrod chainsaws?

> Or we could just offer secure voter IDs to everyone that is legally eligible to vote free of charge.

The opposition argues that this is discriminatory and would favor richer voters.

If I understand their argument correctly, there is a non-zero cost to going to obtain these forms of identification that disproportionately impact the poor. You have to take off work, commute (potentially without a car or bus), pay a fee, be capable of understanding the instructions, etc.

> Also, use scantron style ballots that use computers to automate vote counting but not vote casting, with members of all major political parties monitoring polling stations and vote counting to ensure everything is above board.

The state of Georgia switched to these! They're awesome.

You digitally record your vote and get a printout with your selections. The printout becomes your ballot, and you're able to verify it before submitting it. The choices are super legible in big fonts.

There's a big QR code in the corner that an automated scanner can use to read the values, but a human can manually verify the printed names and ballot initiatives.

The printed ballots look like this:

Of course there are diminishing returns, the world famous brain surgeon billing at $10k per operating room hour isn't going to deliver a 20x better outcome then the average brain surgeon billing at $500, or however much the ratio is.

Yet some folks still choose to seek out the world famous brain surgeon when they desire that extra quantum of assurance and if they can afford it.
My initial response was: Duh

Then I read this:

"“It seems that inflammation not only increases social media use, but our results show preliminary evidence that it’s also associated with using social media to specifically interact with other users, like direct messaging and posting to people’s pages. Interestingly, inflammation did not lead people to use social media for other purposes—for example, entertainment purposes like watching funny videos,”

This is a really bold claim. What are the odds this is never replicated? I'd love to have a science gambling website, heck, I wonder if those odds could be added to confidence of a study.
Well, actually you forgot the “not really” guys too!
What's different about those three countries?
Inflammation can be rather subtle. Someone ostensibly unaffected could have a load of biomarkers of inflammation, and it's associated with all sorts of odd and bad stuff. This is a strange study, perhaps the press release is just dodgy and the paper is easier to understand.
> undefined, Function, and Symbol values are not valid JSON values

that's the point.

The official JSON serializer from every broswer vendor and every Node installation produce invalid JSON.

Which for the JavaScriptObjectNotation is kinda hilarious.

> Expecting `jq` to somehow understand that its input came from Javascript's `JSON.stringify()`

I would expect `JSON.stringify` to give an error if trying to serialize something that naturally does not map to JSON, like many other libraries do.

You have to provide a manual override for those situations.

But JavaScript and ECMA (`JSON.stringify` is defined in the standard) decided that no, they can ignore the specs for some reason.

Problem is they can't fix it now, because too many applications rely on those wrong assumptions.

Here it is the reason why you can find <flag>true</flag> and <flag>1</flag>

Difference being XML was born to standardize the document format, JSON aspired to be a data format but failed miserably at it, even at the most basic level, like saying an int from a float. The spec is simply too vague and ambiguous to give some guarantee of interoperability, beyond numbers and strings.

A large tech conference may have 100+ speakers. They're not all getting the white glove treatment.

Life does happen in any case--especially in these days when people are acutely aware that they can't show up at conferences with an illness. I've also filled in for a speaker who just totally forgot they had a session at the conference and were double-booked elsewhere. It happens.

I wouldn't say my cats are smart but you can definitely see they are natural born killers. Everything they set their eyes on dies. Flies, spiders, you name it. Nothing is too quick for them.

I keep my cats indoors (we take them in to the garden from time to time under supervision) for a variety of reasons one of them being fluffy cute little murders who kill birds and such just for sport...

There are also birds which are smarter then cats where "killer instincts" don't work on. For example I've seen magpies "play" with cats to lure them away from their young. From the interaction it was clear the magpies were employing strategy while the cat was just reacting.

What should one do if something works for them, but scientific evidence suggests otherwise? Tough to say.

However, if you experience eye strain after prolonged computer use (as I do), consider a blue light filter glass from Amazon. I recommend the ones with a strong orange tint. They're also available as clip-ons. Give them a shot and see if they alleviate your pain. If they don't help, return them. Essentially, you're making a no-risk investment. In the worst-case scenario, you lose nothing, but in the best-case scenario, it could remedy your eye strain, just as it did for me.

It is written with intrinsics not ASM.

Compilers understand intrinsics and can optimize around them, and CPUs evolve improved SIMD instruction sets at a snails pace.

Intel doesn't even really support AVX512 yet for consumer hardware, and maybe never will, so this code is mostly only good for very modern AMD.

Notably, GNU Parallel did not relicense; it's still GPL. The author wants to have his cake (gain the popularity benefits of being a GPL-licensed GNU tool, be able to carpetbomb Stack Overflow with "use GNU Parallel" answers, etc.) and eat it too (get people to cite or pay him as a condition of using the product). Since this isn't possible (GPL doesn't allow additional restrictions), but the author still really wants it, he went the route of making the extra condition non-legally-binding but then getting publicly upset at people for using the product under its actual license. That's the part that GNU Parallel is doing that people don't like, and that other projects are not doing.

The startups you mention actually changed their license. That's what GNU Parallel would have to do to make this extra condition ok, but he won't do it because being a GPL-licensed GNU tool is critical to its popularity in the first place.
oh yeah, it's lovely. Haven't tested this on Windows, so not 100% sure about the UX there but I generally prefer using native inputs over JS controls whenever possible.
From the outside, it's easy to dismiss an anxious individuals fears as nothing more than thoughts in their head that are (sometimes, but not always) completely removed from reality. But from the perspective of the anxious person whose sympathetic nervous system is causing elevated heart rates, shaky sweaty hands and feet, heart palpitations and chest pain, pressure headaches, and brain fog, the problem may seem a tad bit more serious than something that's "all in your mind".

Look, I understand what you're trying to say, but as someone who deals with all of the physical symptoms of anxiety listed above and has been told by loved ones countless times "your problem isn't real, so just don't stress about it", it doesn't help, and it's frankly infuriating to hear.

This is off topic but the last ten or so years, the volume level at shows has gone over the top. I did indoor and outdoor shows in the 80s and 90s without plugs and worst case was a little ringing the next day. I mostly did outdoor concerts in the 2000's so I don't know what indoor shows were like but in 2013 I started taking my daughter to shows and holly shit balls it was loud. The last show that I went to I had to step outside to get a break even though I was wearing -32db plugs.
I like the analogy with ants; we can observe ants, understand that their own individual needs / programming create emergent group behaviors and say "oh, that's why that colony behaves as it does" (making the colony of millions of ants into an individual somehow). But when it comes to humans, we waste too much intellectual effort on the individuals and not on the group, i.e. on why and how the social group / team emerges and behaves as it does.

For example, it's pretty clear to me that whether you are talking about a startup team, or a cult, or a religious group, or a political party (the smaller the party, the truer this is) one of the core aspects of social organization is recruiting: i.e. why can you attract people to your group. That messaging is important and has to work and it has to address some core human/individual need, but after you make it work, adding people to your group becomes easier.

Now, conversely, if that startup is not doing very well, or that political party doesn't look like it will get power, the messaging / recruiting mechanism becomes much more important: it's how the group is tied together and how it survives (by attracting more people / replacing attrition). At that point, for the people in the group that need the group to continue, recruiting becomes a primary goal; more so than even the actual operative / paper goal of the group (profit, political power, whatever). That's where niche marketing / issue of the day becomes more important than ever: join our startup/party to provide alternative food sources to the world; to shift the world's consciousness; to provide justice to those wronged; whatever.

To me that's a core failure point, where the startup/party/group should just fold up tents and do something else. They are wasting energy just to keep being a group rather than achieve an end result (their original goal). But we, as social animals (ants as per the OP) can't/won't see that far. We just keep on grinding.

I had the same question, wondering what sort of workflow would have this task in the critical path. Maybe if the Library of Congress needs to change their default text encoding it'll save a minute or two?

The benchmark result is cool, but I'm curious how well it works with smaller outputs. When I've played around with SIMD stuff in the past, you can't necessary go off of metrics like "bytes generated per cycle", because of how much CPU freq can vary when using SIMD instructions, context switching costs, and different thermal properties (eg maybe the work per cycles is higher per SIMD, but the CPU generates heat much more quickly and downclocks itself).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts – really interesting stuff!

I totally see your point about low-code defaults and the maintenance hustle. Balancing efficiency and customization is key, and yeah, keeping things running smooth is where the real game is at.

It's simpler than most languages that have a generative grammar.

I had my interview scheduled for next week, but since I had to travel for a family emergency, I had it rescheduled to the next available slot… in mid-November.

EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood your comment, I thought you were GGP saying that "it's all in your head" is better than CBT. Leaving my original response below.

Sure, but someone with crippling anxiety could easily counter your with any of these:

* I was assaulted when I was 17 so of course I could do things more easily when I was 15.

* I feel physical symptoms of anxiety when I am around others so it's not just in my mind.

* I am a fundamentally worse person than average and do not deserve to be around other people.

* I don't care about what others can do, I would rather die than walk through a crowd.

CBT tries to meet people where they are, acknowledge them, and then give them the tools to move in a healty direction. Kinda like this:

"I know you are afraid of walking through a crowd of people. I want you to imagine walking through the crowd, and tell me what you think and feel.

OK, so you feel physically ill, and you feel like there are bugs on your skin, and you imagine people around you are talking about you. Let's acknowledge that's how you feel.

Now, let's look at this logically. Do you accept that it's unlikely that anyone is actually talking about you? Can you touch your skin, confirm there are no bugs? And, finally, do you understand that your nausea, whilst real, is likely a physical symptom of anxiety following from the other two things, so if we work on the anxiety then the nausea will subside too?

Great. So we've acknowledged how you feel, and we've acknowledged that what you are feeling is driven by anxiety moreso than reality, and we agree that it's possible for you to overcome. It's OK if that doesn't immediately resolve your fear, but next time you are near a crowd, I want you to think about what we talked about before you decide to avoid the crowd."

This is proven to be more likely to help people. If your smug "IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD" solution worked, then plenty of kids with mental issues would have been magically cured when their parents said that exact phrase to them.

is your colleague active on LinkedIn, or is this just some prestige thing? Like, looking through my LinkedIn, I get maybe 20% contract work at most, and I don't post any specific requirements or salaries.

Likewise, while I've gotten some pitches that aren't in my domain, and 2 that weren't even software engineering gigs, I'd say 90% of emails seem to at least be loosely in the ballpark, and of those half of them seem like "okay, it at least got the right kinds of positions). Most of the rest tends to be web development for some reason, though (again, I don't have any specific request on my LinkedIn).
