Its death, if any, is primarily due to high burn rate, as you mention, which Musk moderated quite a bit, but the folks expecting its demise somehow blame it on Musk, ironically.
So a 2k sqft house here, in my European country, would be considered quite a large one, and my understanding is Japanese standards for housing sizes trend even smaller than here. I realise it's commonplace in parts of the USA, but you're likely paying a premium for getting a house that the market considers "oversized". Wikipedia seems to indicate that 1000 sqft is the average in Tokyo.

My more colorful language is beating poor people and the middle class with a rubber hose and hope that solves the problem while ignoring the large frictions present in those people lives.

You want poor people to switch to an electric car? Do what California is doing with car buybacks and grants for new and used EV's. A low income person in some counties can get a couple of grand to trade in his old gas car for a used EV's like a Bolt. That's better because instead of feeling attacked people feel like they got a decent deal.
There are both merits and demerits to python. Unfortunately not everyone has the opportunity or the luxury to work with projects that are properly maintained. Even messy python projects in legacy companies hold up but that does not mean quality and maintenance costs are good. My beliefs stem from my experience with the jobs available in my area and country. I'm not the expert on type safety but my understanding from various sources and my own experience is that type safety is superior. Go has been the best candidate as the alternative for the projects I have undertaken. YMMV.

Hmm, so let's say 50 saving, and over 40 years that would make 2000...

Okay, not counting compounding interest. But on other hand how much wealth do they extract from the system? Is that more or less than the 2000 per person?
Hm, where is the large advantage over building a list pos_args and a map kw_args and calling func(*pos_args, **kw_args)? You can also transform between both forms with a few comprehensions with a few isinstance-checks.

>>> def foo(a, b, c=42, d=23):
... print(a, b, c, d)
...
>>> args = ['a-value', 'b-value']
>>> kwargs = { 'c': 'c-value', 'd': 'd-value' }
>>> foo(*args, **kwargs)
a-value b-value c-value d-value

In reality, you can try liking a particular food containing Coriander, but your genetics can interfere, and try as you might, it will still taste like soap. You can lie in bad every night in total silence, counting from 300 to 0 again and again, and still fail to fall a sleep in less than 40 minutes. Moreover, after you practiced and practiced to go down from 2 hours to 40 minutes, all you need is to attend one wedding or going single time to pub with friends after few months, and you are back to square one.

One thing I'm in agreement with the author on - you have limited amount of willpower. Some have more, some have less, but regardless of how much you got, you will be much more successful in life if you invest it breaking barriers you can overcome and avoid fighting losing battles.

The station prides itself on operating without any government funding, which in turn requires it to play music that people enjoy hearing and never the kind that some stations (and performing ensembles) play just because it’s avant-garde or purports to make some political statement.

> I don't think it's about simplicity at all

I'd go further and say that "simplicity" is the wrong way of thinking about it. Arguing that Western classical music is more complex or requires more understanding — and that complexity on a particular axis is more valuable inherently than complexity on another one – is a poorly informed viewpoint. You can't separate the cultural deification of the Western classical canon from traditional great-man historiography.

A lot of classical music is in meaningful ways much simpler than a lot of pop music, as long as you pick the right axis. Western classical music is, if you were to caricature it, about the elevation of harmony above the other elements of music. It is, particularly, much less prone to developing complex rhythmic ideas. Even within Western music, George Clinton's work is more rhythmically inventive than the majority of the Western canon; John Coltrane's work is arguably more _harmonically_ complex and inventive too. Many high-culture art-music traditions (jazz, Carnatic classical music) are fundamentally improvisational.

This doesn't mean Beethoven sucks, quite the opposite; a lot of music in the Western classical tradition is _really really good_. It doesn't mean it wrong to _prefer_ that music. It does mean that dismissing other musics as intrinsically lesser is fundamentally more about bigotry than aesthetics.

While we're here, let's defend Eurodance too. Modern music in the pop tradition, which I'm going to argue starts somewhere around Joe Meek, has used technology to enable unprecedented _timbral_ complexity. (Yes, yes, Xenakis, Stockhausen, Messiaen, Penderecki; but they're exactly the sort of classical composer this author would reject out of hand too.)

Ham bands are jammed with traffic? My experience is you can barely find anyone, except on repeaters, and even then it’s pretty quiet besides during scheduled check-ins in the evening (or similar events.)

I even travel with my radio. It seems to be this way across the United States. If you’d be open to sharing, I’d love to know where it’s so saturated.

That said, I don’t want commercial interests to take the amateur bands either, but I do believe they need to modernized. I think some of the space should be unallocated, and left that way, so people can experiment with minimal restriction.
This comment reminded me that I did something similar as a kid in the 90s. I recorded TV shows as audio onto cassette tapes and listened to them before bed to make falling asleep less boring. In retrospect, the coolest thing about it was the intensity and persistence of visual recall.
This is definitely anti-advice for me. Obsession with a problem is a stimulant, and a mind that doesn't want to put something down will be in pain soon. I noticed this with my kids learning to crawl. They were so intoxicated by the new activity and mobility it represented, they wanted to do it all the time, and so they did it to exhaustion. For a few days, it made them alternate between excited and miserable. Then it became just another thing they knew how to do, ending the oscillation. But I can't help but think there was a good lesson there.

It's never product-market fit that requires a rewrite. It's bumping into the limits of the tools you chose up front. In my experience, that's mostly a function of how technologically wrong your guesswork was. If you set out to build cloud cost tracking but mostly build AWS accounting, that's pretty close and you'll likely do fine. If you set out to build games and wind up finding fit with an enterprise chat system, you're likely to end of with a full rewrite no matter what web tech you started with.

In other words, I don't think there is any web tech that does this because it's all about what's between the ears of humans.

...why?

I don't love this proposal, but `{1:"a", 2:"b", 0:"c"} == {0:"c", 1:"a", 2:"b"}`, and so presumably either would have the same behavior when passed to `def f(foo, bar baz): ...`.

ADHD chiming in. That approach just doesn’t work [when you have ADHD]

Professionally diagnosed ADHD here as well. Extremely aware of the hurtful and unfair "lazy" stigma.

Positive thinking, an improvement mindset, and life hacks are not cure for ADHD. There's no cure! I'm not one of those people who's trying to tell you that the cure to your ADHD is "just try harder" or some bullshit. I know we have all heard that too many times in our lives.

But our brains are still hackable. Our habits are still improvable. I'm in middle age and I'm still finding improvements and workarounds.
I think your comment is misleading. Most fonts in use on the web today are actually proprietary and not open source. https://jichu4n.com/posts/the-most-popular-fonts-on-the-web-... -- Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, Helvetica are all proprietary.
Thanks to both of you for this heartwarming bit. How do you go about finding something like that?
IPC is not necessary: you can in fact jump from 32-bit code to 64-bit code using a special kind of FAR call across code segments! This is what the new Wine-on-Wine64 is doing. I'm mentioning Windows syscalls because Wine implements the Windows syscalls by redirecting them to UNIX libraries, and it happens to be using the same exact idea as how Windows syscalls go from Windows-on-Windows64 for calling 64-bit libraries in Wine-on-Wine64. What is a syscall in Windows is a library call in Wine, and they happen to use a similar mechanism. (I mentioned elsewhere in the thread that I realize this is not a case where things are exactly the same, but it's closer related than I think you're giving it credit.)

As I understand it, the way that AMD64/EM64T processors actually evolved, rather than having completely separate "modes" for real mode/protected mode/long mode, instead, internally, the processors are more-or-less just masking features on and off. So jumping from 32-bit to 64-bit code isn't actually impossible, in fact it's obviously necessary for 32-bit code to be able to make syscalls in the first place, but what might not be clear is that at least on AMD64, you can do this jump purely in usermode, too.

The funny abilities of x86 processors even allow you to mix and match a bit with the different modes; For example, the old Linux x32 ABI[1], or Unreal Mode[2], not to mention the fact that older protected mode OSes (like Win9x) would often thunk to real mode for legacy drivers.

Surely it's very unusual to do such work (in the past) by oneself. One hears of individuals making small dwellings (log cabins, over a period of 6+ months), but communities would get together to make barns.

Not wanting to be insensitive, but was your grandfather an outcast; no relatives or friends that would help?
There are intangible costs to high relative inequality (whatever the absolute level of wealth). They don't matter as much as not starving. But I can see why people are concerned about it.

In economically more equal societies, people tend to treat each other as equals in other ways. For example, I'm fairly convinced that the wealth inequality in America is why Americans to treat their low-paid service workers so poorly, compared to most other very wealthy countries. They're beneath them in the implicit class hierarchy created by the unequal wealth distribution.

Similarly, if the yearly salary of a police officer, judge, or tax auditor, is simple pocket change to the wealthy, then they're all for sale.
> whoo-hoo! Getting snooty there, aren't you? I think I understand it as well as you do.

shrug

You're proposing fundamental changes to the way that markets operate, which would have profound (and mostly negative) effects on the economy, but being entirely casual about the pretty important details across multiple orders of magnitude (a millisecond here, a microsecond there, what's the difference?).

I'm not sure you do understand it.

> that's called "market regulation." That's what the SEC's mission is. It's intended to convince unsophisticated investors that they're not being cheated by slick operators.

Sure, but you have not in any way made any case about how quantizing the market stops unsophisticated investors from "being cheated by slick operators.". What does "slick" mean? What does "cheating" mean? If I buy a computer and colo it with my local exchange to get better latency, is that being "slick"? How about if I hire an army of PhDs to do extensive market analysis, am I "cheating" the unsophisticated investor then?
> What service does ham radio actually provide to society?

Ham radio allows the public to use slices of the radio spectrum.

If someone wanted to "hack" on RF projects, what should this person do if the entire spectrum was given to companies and governments + militaries instead?

If you are arguing against ham radio you are basically arguing against hacking, tinkering and experimenting.
Like all things, know your audience.

I know of a case where a delay was introduced because users didn’t believe the task was done because it happened so quickly, and contacted support thinking there was a problem (there wasn’t).

All related support contacts stopped after the artificial delay was introduced.

As you may have guessed, these were not technically savvy users. But it’s what they needed.

30 increase and 40 decrease which is a conflicting finding.
That only works for the simplest case though - showing a count where the starting point was the entire corpus.

With faceted search you usually need to do things like "the user searched for 'x' and filtered for 'price less than $Y', now show counts for each of the different categories" - where pre-calculated counts won't help you.

Search indexes still help here, because they are really good at fast set intersections - so you take the set of document IDs matching your filters so far, then intersect them against the set of IDs that are listed for each of those categories and count the size of that intersection.

Hypothesis:

Isolated, mixed-sex social groups of unpaired individuals are inherently unstable.

We can improve stability by decreasing isolation — via external accountability and communication, surfacing problems to external authority with the power to act.

We can also improve stability by maintaining stricter single-sex spaces: separate, sex-segregated living quarters and facilities. It shouldn’t even be possible for an outlier abusive man to make his way to a woman’s door, after hours and without permission.

Both cost more, but that should be factored into the cost of putting humans through unnatural experiences like this.

The original author?
I don't get the comments tearing into OP. Sure, he could have been more careful. He could have tested the login on the latest version of Android. But what if it wasn't a login crash? What if it worked on the latest version but not others? At what point do you draw the line?

At some point, you just have to say "OK this is a platform used by literally millions of apps and millions of developers, and mistakes will be made, and it should be easy to fix them by stopping your own rollout (without having to know tricks like doing a staged release) or immediately making an older, already approved version live again". It's such a basic design principle to make things revertible/recoverable, especially for something like an app store.
That's not the only way to interpret that passage (it's not how I interpreted the passage, in any case). There's no contradiction in saying "pop music is also popular and so our station also has programs that play pop music". In fact, I took the author as meaning "there is some classical music that people only play b/c it's avant garde or political, &c, but the subset of classical music that we happen to play is what people request". And I'm not even sure that's a criticism of those other subgenres of classical music – more an observation on the general population's preferences and the influence of funding on the programming decisions of radio stations.

edit: to be clear, I vigorously agree with everything else you wrote in your first comment! I just want to assume good faith for the author of the featured piece.
you mean like public transit?
Nope. That's not what I said nor is it what I believe.

I have ADHD. My intended habits are very fragile, and if a single visual cue goes missing, I'll skip a step -- if my wife removes my antiperspirant from the counter, then I just unwittingly skip that step that day. I rely on rube Goldberg machinations.

I have one trick that works, but I hate it. I build checklists with routine tasks, like morning and evening routines, or packing for a trip, etc, and automate sending them to the relentlessly annoying iOS Due.app, which can send reminder notifications about a timed task every minute once due and syncs with watch, so I can dismiss them once complete -- I have them scheduled spaced out enough to generally allow completion of one task before the next one comes due. I turn on Announce Notifications for the Due.app so the phone speaks the tasks aloud, and just wear airpods so I alone hear the announcements.

I used this successfully for 6 months to emulate being a conventional person, and it was successful, but it didn't end up building any very strong habits that could stand alone outside this system. It felt like an oppressive dystopian crutch that I was embarrassed to need. However, one situation where I do love it is "before I leave the house to go to X" checklists, if I schedule backward from the time to leave, I end up not forgetting anything and leaving on time, which is not normally easy for me, otherwise. That reduces a common stress.

Oh, and outside of habits, I do really like dictating a stream of consciousness list of things I have to do to my phone, and have a shortcut run it by GPT3.5 to extract task names, estimate on task durations, and order tasks in a reasonable way, which it is surprisingly able to do with a good prompt, and then automatically feed the results into Due.app. I haven't figured out the psychology of when I do and don't like nagging reminders.
