Democracies are great for preventing tyranny, but they are terrible at reform. Reform often comes from a smaller group of people pioneering a solution among a smaller more willing population, thus demonstrating to the majority that such solutions work.

Democracies are, by definition, ruling by the median intelligence of the group, thus cherry picking a smaller set of the population, you can advance more complex ideas and solutions - hence efforts such as in OP's article.
My employer is big into coworking. The offices are plain hell. Some of the perks are people shouting on top of their lungs, crappy toilets (quite literally), theft, and a spaghetti access control system that malfunctions and locks you up. My former employer rented a similar space, with similar features. I just don't wanna spend 1/3 of my life in hell.
> In the function body, args will be a tuple, and kwargs a dict with string keys.

This always bugs me: why is `args` immutable (tuple) but `kwargs` mutable (dict)? In my experience it’s much more common to have to extend or modify `kwargs` rather than `args`, but I would find more natural having an immutable dict for `kwargs`.
You never watch a conference talk on YouTube at work?
Current popular AI (LLMs, music generation, image generation) doesn't have a concept of facts, structure and sequence; they don't have an emotional concept of something on the edge of novelty, but not so novel that it's jarring and chaotic. However, that says nothing about the future.

Her essay is attention-seeking nonsense. She can't predict the future of art-generating AIs. Nobody can. This way she can write a "mea culpa" and admit to being wrong to get some additional attention for herself and her works once AI renders human production of new works largely pointless—because nobody will be able to verify it's human-generated rather than machine-generated, and human-generated works will cost more.
There is the modern counterexample of ceramic houses:

I wish there were more diversity in the world of React frameworks. I get that people enjoy using Next et. al., but I see those things as bloated beasts. There's really nothing I've found that bridges "vanilla react/redux" and full stack framework. It'd be nice to see more stuff like this inbetween, preferably with swappable data stores.
Does this plan come with nearly a 100% churn rate?
Yep the extra flexibility is very helpful and convenient, but with years passing it becomes the norm. And kids needs increase with age, not decrease. So at some point you may realize that there's no more flexibility, you have been stretched to the limit or even further and everything is suffering - you, your work and your family. That's why I think it's dangerous - instead of having a clean cut between work and family we take it just a little bit further every time , all seems fine and productivity is unaffected, and so on until something snaps. So I'd rather say don't make such arrangements the norm because there's no easy way back to full work/family separation
The problem is that most people don't subscribe to hundreds of Patreon creators. It is actually REALLY hard to have a substantial income from Patreon unless you have like 1 million subscribers on youtube. YT Premium+Ads is the next best thing and makes most creators a lot more money with less effort.

Source: I'm a full time youtuber, I have done Patreon for over a year, and I have friends who are also full time youtubers.
I don't see any reason to listen to Sal Khan. As far as I can tell, he became a major figure in education, with ample resources and real power, because he is good at explaining things. Why would I assume he knows anything about how education works in general because people liked his approach to one very small part of it?

At the gym, people assume anyone with big muscles must be an expert in medicine. Let's not make the same mistake here.
> Can you even imagine where we'll be in 50 years?

If we're not careful, buying slightly faster smartphones.
Not sure, but it would be cool to do something that didn’t require cameras, like EMG to detect eye motion from muscle activation. It would be hard to get the necessary accuracy though.
Does Bugzilla even have both WYSIWYG and markdown?
Murphy’s Law of app stores applies here:

Any crashing build will be approved instantly, and the next build won’t be approved for days.
This is the diffuse part of learning and I thought it was general knowledge by now? https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn
Ha, realized this when writing it out. We actually did start with measuring the room, but that only narrows it to a pretty wide range of configurations. This step was more about getting precise measurements to think about how different layouts would look and feel. We also just didn’t know what options there were until exploring some of the top candidates in detail. Definitely not as linear as I described it. The config is more like a layer of nuance on top of the hard constraints of style and comfort.. although I’m sure others would consider those soft constraints.
They were happy about it when we keept the lights on during the pandemic...
Yeah; crucially, we have some fossil record of the run up to that glacier, with 50 year resolution:

Sample 1: Normal

Sample 2: Atmospheric CO2 spike.

Sample 3: Glacier

Based on that, we are 0-75 years away from the next European ice age, which the maximum expectation estimate at ~25 years.
I think this is an unfair critique of the PiHole and I believe you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water. The PiHole blocks DNS and that’s all it’s designed to do, and it does it well. There’s a grandiose amount of telemetry, marketing, and general unsavory traffic flying through your network that didn’t originate from a browser. The PiHole is not exactly a turnkey solution and does take some adjusting to your preferences, but once you get it set up, you basically only have to touch it to do system updates.
> The company that has probably done the most for the development of the web?

Lol, excuse me?

I know WP is big but take a moment to reflect on that statement, WP is far from that.
Funnily enough, Mozilla is moving more and more to their (internal) JIRA, including basically all PM involvement.

I sort of think this announcement comes from someone seeing the writing on the wall, maybe a possible future acceleration of this trend.
I'm sorry, but this is on the developer / maintainer.

Google has been putting out these warning messages for a while, and any decent Android developer should know about target SDK versions.

Didn't test the app on the platform they were updating to?

Didn't function test the app on a physical device that surely had on hand?

Somehow this is Google's fault?

I dislike the stronghold Apple and Google have as much as anyone else, but this is just shoddy maintenance and you've effectively advertised that your "agile software company" can't update an app without proper process, lack the ability to keep on top of well-defined changes within Android app development, and to top it off have the gall to claim Google is being unprofessional?
The government should stay out of it.

If winemakers produce wine that the market does not want they should change or go under.
Links to other posts, yes. The build just breaks if you link to a previous post that’s outside of the “limit posts” horizon.
Almost all ‘lifetime subs’ are scams; a company has to be massive to support it and if it doesn’t work out for smaller companies, the consequences don’t matter anyway.
This feels like bordering on flamebait
No, they had moved to JIRA at least as far back as 2015.
Because they don't work on mobile apps, TVs and other non-desktop devices.
Adguard seems to offer blocking only, whereas Privaxy "is able ... to inject scripts as well as styles into HTML documents", which was the feature my comment expressed interest in.

The readme goes on to say: "Privaxy is also way more capable than DNS-based blockers as it is able to operate directly on URLs and to inject resources into web pages."
I have same problem, I found out I can just clone existing issues, then remove the linkage to old issue. It's not perfect but at least I don't have to memorize what things I have to fill. You can find the clone feature by opening existing issue and then "..." button at right corner.
After the license change we switched to Elsa and contribute code together with other companies that made the switch. https://elsaworkflows.io
Current education system is broken. You can't learn anything. Learning need feedback loop, but this do not exist.

In school, you hand in your homework, get the feedback only after Christmas. Because human cannot evaluate 100 students' homework efficiently.

Majority of academic textbook are trash. Some author even say "we have 300 new exercises in this edition" proudly, while the solution is often either nonexistent, or at the end of the book. Why at the end, not next to that problem? Or next page? Why wasting my time to flip pages back and forth?

If the content of exercise is important, why not include that into the text?

If instructor is needed, why not making every concepts into Q&A as they had already been explained in office hour or email somewhere else? Why zero effort being put into knowledge accumulation?

Human failed at education. ChatGPT obviously is a more knowledgeable entity, personally I prefer that more than human instructor.
There's a wide spectrum between drinking too much and not drinking at all.
It could be a lot better with a couple of videos or images to illustrate the concepts
Brain uploads don't cheat death. Let's say you made a digital clone of your brain. Your last thought would be "oh shit I'm dying". The description of you is not the thing you inherently try to protect, but the physical brain itself. Your brain's contents change quite often compared to the medium.
It would be hard to make it faster, considering all the dynamic elements it has to load. The only trade off I can think of would require massive amounts of memory and lots of prefetching and background polling
You get up, wash - eat - dress, then you go to your car - and your clock starts, your time, car time, miles, gas - the entire work day is on the clock, your lunch is paid for - you drive home and the clock stops.
Currently this transit time/gas/miles/stress = unpaid.
Make this all paid time and far fewer would want to drag you in and pay all that added $$ = wasted $$ that remote work obviates.
One of our partners is a renowned neuro-ophthalmologist at our local university, and he's always suggested medical applications for our array. However, the combination of low volume, slim margins, and regulatory challenges (acquiring patient training sets and navigating FDA approval) makes this direction potentially perilous for us. What helps us is our human factors partner has decades long connections with NASA, FAA, and DoD which gets us a foot in the door, and allows us adopt a low volume/high margin strategy. This approach is letting us refine our technology and then we can focus on standardizing it, reducing costs, and perhaps refocus on medical applications.

I do think your suggestion is a good approach, but what's key is finding smart investment that has experience in developing medical devices.
That zoom call could have been an email. But see up-thread about managers not wanting to put things in writing.
Yet 2023 is barely different from 2013.
Initially thought X was a metasyntactic variable, then realised it is post-rebrand Twitter. Would be funny if everyone just keeps calling it Twitter :P
A world where intentional communities of peers deliberate with each other to iron out past problems and agree on new procedures going forward?

It's always easier to have a dictator come in and tell people what to do, but people complain about it.
That is not literally not the definition of theft.
The U.S. fertility rate is 1.64, well below the replacement rate of 2.1, and in Asia and much of the Western world, it is even lower. It is not crazy to be concerned about that and be "pronatalist".
To quote another comment I made:

It would be, if Google didn't have a chokehold on most of the internet. Sure, Nebula exists, I can watch three creators there, woohoo. Let me go on Dailymotion too for those sweet 2005 videos.

Google did everything in their power to force themselves into every aspect of our lives and leaving no alternatives, or destroying them, or buying them. Now they get to deal with the consequences
Even more so - lots of content on YouTube wouldn't exist without the economic incentives to create it in the first place.
Unpaid volunteers just want stuff to be involved in. The weird notion that unpaid volunteers are some pure force for good is falsely perpetuated by internet greybeards who only say it because they themselves were those people. Ask any young person their opinion of people in these positions and they’ll rightfully paint them in a negative light. Somehow we took being on body corporate and fetishised it.
As someone who relocated himself to be closer to an office, I’m ecstatic about it. I live within walking distance of my office, and I basically have it to myself most of the time. A bright, clean, air condition, professionally managed placed where I can just focus on work, and when I’m done, I leave it all there. As soon as I badge out, I’m in family mode.

If a colleague decides to come in, it’s like seeing an old friend from college. We catch up, get some work done in a different way, and maybe get coffee.

I’m not concerned about productivity either way. What will get is what will get done, and I’m happy about it.
One of the arguments I keep seeing for going back to the office boils down to 'I don't know something, being in the office means it's easy to walk over and ask someone'.

I can see at least two problems: your company code, systems and processes are either poorly documented or complex, and you are happy to interrupt someone that is probably busy.
Wasn’t this posted before?
Last time I used solr the facets were defined in the schema so Lucene could create and index on that field.
Twitter wasn’t great, but it wasn’t a dumpster fire. I think the evidence is clear that the previous shareholders sold because Musk was (initially) prepared to massively overpay, not because they didn’t like the business. If they didn’t like the business they could have just sold their shares.
> On the other hand, I do see employees choosing a lower-paid role/employer just to ensure remote work, so that preference seems genuine.

That implies that other employers could have offered lower salaries if they had allowed remote work - and thus that they are paying a premium for getting/keeping people in the office, no?
> The control that his class demands on capital and labor is actively harming reproduction.

Birthrates are plunging in welfare states with generous support for those who want to raise a child. Can this really be blamed on mere capitalist exploitation?
> I just don't wanna spend 1/3 of my life in hell

Look on the bright side, at least you get to choose your version of hell

Wasn’t the case for most of human history

(Edit: man, Y’all really don’t like this joke :P)
I know I can not change someone else's mind. I'm not arrogant enough to assume I am the ultimate arbiter of truth.

You have to decide which is more important, the friendship, or being "right". I strongly advise you to keep the friendship, and let the matter rest. Otherwise you will find yourself in an echo chamber of only friends that agree with you.

Please consider that you might change your own opinion on this matter at some point.
"may" is the reason why not supporting rollbacks at the OS level is baddesign
Of course! I’ve been wanting to run this for my Apple TV devices for a while now. tvOS itself doesn’t really have ads, but the third-party tv network apps have a lot of ads and tracking services which is what I wanted to work on stripping out.

I have it working for a few TV Everywhere compatible apps, but some are proving to be more difficult than others. I may have to do some other TLS inspection with mitmproxy and figure out what needs to be removed with the custom uBlock filter syntax option.
And all of those things if we're lucky. If we're unlucky it will be edges of chiseled stone. If we're really unlucky it won't be anything at all.
SSDI is not a short term, short term disability is a private insurance, usually provided as a benefit, but also available for purchase yourself.

Well, it sounds strangely like a "15-minute city" agenda, where you have less pollution, less noise, less traffic, and are stuck living in your block :D
If you think you made a meaningful statistical statement, your fundamental misunderstanding of language is a strike against any public school that graduated you.
This was one of my projects. The underlined names were people who got 10 other people to donate, sort of the super-donors.
Especially in the US, but also in Europe, neighborhoods are fashionable / modern / developing for 30 years, then they are left to rot by developers until they are a bit rundown, then the city (=the developers with connections at the town hall) decide to refurbish the neighborhood, at which point they are bought wholesale and rebuilt.

Aren’t we rebuilding most houses every 60 years in Europe and USA?
So you'd need some sort of legal document declaring intent to conclude that it was intentional?

Twitter was the center of the Arab Spring. There's plenty of powerful people in the world who would be happy if it went away. And the users migrating to Facebook, a platform far more friendly to censorship favoring existing power structures, is probably also desirable.
I disagree and think is the other way around.

The TFA shows several examples of code that someone learning the language would definitely hit. Most of the time JS "quirks" are due to code that is so complicated that the actual WTF is on why would someone design such code in the first place.
It's funny that all the counterarguments here depend on things staying exactly the same forever.
Seems to be man-in-the-middle. The server gets the files as if it were a browser, then re-encrypts using the certificate authority it requires you to install, to keep your browser happy.

PyCharm usually figured this out if it's not too complex. I often wrap session.request() with some defaults/overrides and autocomplete usually shows me the base arguments as well.
Another good example is the early "handwriting recognition" of Palm Pilot. They didn't try to increase the accuracy of recognizing all letters, they tried to hit the sweet spot between what they coudl reliably interpret and what users would learn/put up with.
I miss this kind of playfulness in computing.

When I was at Amazon my manager told me that several years earlier he was responsible for updating the 404 page so he scanned a picture of a cat his daughter drew and made that the body of the page. In 2009 when I started, that was still the image, but at some point someone must have noticed and replaced it with a stock photo of a dog. The asset was still called kayli-kitty.jpg, though. It’s since been changed again to rotating pictures and references to the original are gone.
if 100% of the companies say that my profession (data analyst) will be in person at the office, starting tomorrow, I'll leave the profession and look for something else to do with my life.

ifconfig got replaced just as OpenBSD's pf replaced whatever it replaced.

Wayland, ACLs, SELinux and cgroup are all just options, none are forced.
If we had to prove which is right without access to prior wisdom, most of us would fail miserably. Our current understanding of the world can't be built in any single person's lifetime.

But it's easier than ever to do your own research in the modern age. Heliocentrism vs. geocentrism is a well established topic. It doesn't take a genius to reach the right information. You can even conduct your own experiment if you want to.

The only thing stopping people from learning besides poverty is their own free will. I think the reputation is well deserved.
I first read about the Cauchy distribution in a book titled The Physics of Wall Street by James Owen Weatherall. Before then, I was mostly familiar with the normal distribution. The normal distribution shows variance as contained around mean, median, and mode. The Cauchy distribution can look like a normal distribution but it actually has no mean. What is unsettling is how real world processes or events might seem like a normal distribution, but actually be a Cauchy distribution. Which means a variance you believed to have reasonable bounds would suddenly go haywire.

Clearly, if this passes all software companies should disband their security teams and have policies that they will not patch software. That way they can avoid the liability of incorrectly patching.
