We had to have our 15 year old daughter do some paperwork to start her driver learning and when I asked for her signature, she was quite puzzled! Cursive was taught when I grew up but I don't find a use for it anymore myself. I am sure it lends to speed but my cursive handwriting is awful to try and reread, but normal case I can do pretty well.
In the past they have been made to work, but they were not much better than batteries. With the price of batteries dropping like a stone I suspect they are going to have an even harder time competing.

Social media has different problems, one of which is the "two sided market" problem which hits it twice because users increase the value for other users and because of the user-advertiser connection. Another one is in funding and investment: frankly, European investors are "too smart for that shit", that is, Twitter and Facebook both IPOed before they had a business plan that made sense. There was a narrow time window that Silicon Valley investors would fund businesses like that but since then, even they won't.

40mph straight down is a pretty fast rate of descent. That said there’s nothing inherently unsafe about it. If you’re losing cabin pressure, you really want to be at a breathable altitude ASAP.

The Johnson&Johnson logo was soft and comforting. The new one looks like a bank logo or a legal office. Horrible move when you're selling comfort products and not financial services.
I agree that no one is entitled to a home, but it also feels a little odd that people will turn around and feel entitled to an increasing property value and neighborhood character. The market giveth and the market taketh, except when it wants to take from me, right? Then suddenly democracy and taking care of the community is important.
Sounds like a great opportunity for an AR app that can compute and overlay differences in your field of view. It would be cool to run this on the Apple Goggles. (I am not ready to see people walking around wearing those things in real life).
It's almost like this is occuring across entire societies as they lose a shared vision of the world and are thus less able to trust in cooperative networks.
Weird.
I know it's off-topic, but I can't help noticing Financial Times pricing model. It's $1 for 4 weeks, $69 a month for digital, but also $99 a year for print and digital? That's a wild pricing model.

I long for the day that I can just pay XX cents to read a single article with minimal fuss, but at this point I don't see that happening.
A friend is in sales, and went on leave at the beginning of covid.

They spent a long time getting dressed to sales standards for their first zoom call after coming back, and found that everyone had moved to just keeping the video off.

Sweat pants for the win!

(I get the impression productivity also increased, since their team also spent much less time driving across town when a phone call work suffice.)
Thinking about it a little more I bet it is very difficult to legally define a product type.

It is amazing how easy some people make falling upwards look.
It's kind of funny at this point, I hear about Astro and I'm just about to try it out and then this comes along claiming huge speed increases. Web frameworks move so fast it's really worth just sitting out a few rounds of frameworks until you really need to make a move, or else you'll just be in refactor hell.
> I’ve done all sorts of damaging things to keep people above me satisfied.
And I will do it thousands of times more over my career.

Interesting. I understand why - your career matters more than another person’s career. But I can’t help but think nobody wants to work for someone who won’t have their team’s back. How do you strike a balance? Asking because I imagine I might face similar situations in the future if/when I go up the totem pole. Do you just say “it’s not personal, just business” and go on your way?
> The IT world really made a mistake by creating a space that’s so unpleasant that it’s easier to work at home.

Yes. And it utterly baffles me! Even when employers were making an effort to improve the office environment, they did so in a way that didn't address the problems with it at all. Instead, they went for "perks" like game rooms, free snacks, etc. All of which are entirely orthogonal to what makes working in an office a terrible experience.
> do jobs that require way more human interaction

And all of these interactions are fully possible in remote work. You just need to use the tools that support it- like normalizing video calls (with video on!).

The only reason we see so much "we all need to go back to the office" is that some senior leaders don't like this way of communicating, aren't used to it, and therefore everyone else must be in person as well.

> Actually the most fun happens when you are awful at something, it means that the learning curve is still in the steep phase.

Yeah, but that fun period is also when you are most likely to kill or maim someone, especially when the car is 6000lb.

This is going off on a tangent, but that issue would be much less severe if the U.S. took drivers licenses as seriously as, say, Germany.
I've done similar things (for a Playstation 1/2 controller) bit-banging with 8-bit microcontrollers. They often include instruction timing information in the datasheets.
Without a doubt monetary policy has fueled inflation, but do not ignore the policies of allowing corporate mergers for the last 40 years. Lack of competition reduces price elasticity, and the end game of every monopoly is to raise prices. We are living in a world of global monopsonies, and my expectation is to contine to pay this monopoly tax for years.

Worse, is it’s never been easier to collude. It used to be you had to pay a big consulting firm big money for them to tell you “current market rates” for many goods and services. Now you can just subscribe to same SaaS everyone in your industry uses and have it tell you how much to charge. This tends to help break out of a prisoner’s dilemma.

This was something I never quite anticipated. I used the intenet when it was young to help do price discovery and find better deals. Never occurred to me the end game was for companies to do it even better for pricing. Even after seeing thrift store pricing adjust due to seeing online prices on ebay, it didn’t occur to me the scale it would happen elsewhere.
This reminds me a little of htmx, in addition to all of the other frameworks mentioned above.

I'm still trying to figure out which JavaScript framework to settle in with for day to day development and I'll give this a spin -- perhaps it'll feel right.
I really love it when stores put the per unit price on their labels (at least they do in California), i.e. $2 per ounce. It would be neat if they can also add a historical graph of those prices to the label.
We academically wrote (2014) and then deployed Zcash (2016) using PGHR13, and then later Zcash upgraded to a better circuit that used Groth16. It was, to my knowledge, the first production system to use SNARKs, and “modern” systems like Tornado Cash Nova use basically the same ideas.

ETA: I just noticed I'm responding to Madars ;)
Those places would rise in price slightly slower with more supply. It's not like the housing stock is inducing enough demand to affect the price; the demand comes from other desirable characteristics like access to good jobs and weather.

In SF at least, we are severely supply constrained. Increasing the supply hasn't been tried in meaningful numbers to know for certain how it could affect price. But in many other municipalities that have been better able to build housing, it does decrease costs for everyone as the article describes.
From the Havard Business Review:

> Excess Management Is Costing the U.S. $3 Trillion Per Year

> More people are working in big, bureaucratic organizations than ever before. Yet there’s compelling evidence that bureaucracy creates a significant drag on productivity and organizational resilience and innovation. By our reckoning, the cost of excess bureaucracy in the U.S. economy amounts to more than $3 trillion in lost economic output, or about 17% of GDP.

> DynamoDB, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, AWS Lambda, Azure, AWS, Azure Devops, SqlServer, Oracle, etc.

At least with these individual tools, it's usually not your entire codebase written around that thing. For instance, you can generally switch from one database to another if they decide to overcharge you. You can even switch from one cloud service to another. In other words, they (usually) don't have you nearly as locked in.

With Unity, it is a much bigger ordeal to switch to something like Godot and Unreal and most people who have already finished their games can't even really consider it as an option. This is why it was so egregious.
Most people have probably had to run to make a flight connection at some point. Will be interesting to see the broader implications as people start being able to blast around at 15mph instead. Not clear if many public spaces can handle it
Hm, I've never got a strong recommendation to replace bike tires after X years, unless you're going very fast on a road bike the failure penalty is not very harsh, bike tires don't just explode.

I suppose they are durable if you count "they can take many kilometers and some people who do 50k a year..." and so on but my experience is more like "better replace them because they are old, and you only did 5-10k per year".
Well for starters, you should by-design not create an interface where individual discrete events are required to be delivered, without drops or strictly in order. Once you start down that path, you have to be able to answer what you do when the the destination is blocked (for any reason: network congestion or outage, service outage, etc.). This is the path where your internal queue (whether physical or virtual - that is, a cursor) starts requiring potential days of retention and the ability to stream from any point in that history. Been there, done that. You can implement that retention in all sorts of ways (rows in a database, messages in kafka, etc.) each of which has interesting cost dynamics and corner cases.

You are almost better off with a state compressed reporter that has the semantics of always reporting a _sensible_ series of events to the external endpoint where _dependent_ events have sensible relative order ("x was added, x was deleted") that converges on current state no matter how slow the outbound endpoint is and without regard to how many of them there are. No key locking and no buffering, O(1) storage per walker - just a walk on conveying state. This requires careful design of both the system _and_ the schema (boolean state needs to be accompanied with a counter, for example, to convey collapsed/consolidated history of the state changes in this model).

That's a lot more work, but it is possible, this kind of thing dates to the 80s or earlier.

The only in-order/no-drops case that is really common is logs (which is a poor way of conveying event/state tracking) and webhooks are a very poor choice for that kind of thing.

Also, in all cases, receivers should have to accept that they may receive the same notification more than once. Obviosuly there are ways around this, but they are expensive at scale.
I personally enjoyed _work_ more in person than remote, but I enjoy my life overall more with remote work. I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels that way.

I mean, he hasn't nailed the reason ChaPoly is favored over GCM, and it's not a good paragraph, but he's not wrong that GCM is ill-loved by cryptography engineers, despite its ubiquity. Really though, it's just missing an important bit of the history, which is that there was a decent stretch of years where it was basically impossible to implement GCM securely on architectures that didn't have something like the CLMUL instruction.

I don't agree with you at all about the equivalent of IV misuse under CBC+HMAC and nonce reuse under ChaPoly. It's a bug either way, and bugs in cryptosystems are bad, but it's much less bad in CBC+HMAC. That is in fact a good reason to use it.
> Linear code actually has a lower burden on one's cognitive load and thus easier to comprehend. But of course it breaks down at certain sizes ...

I agree with this, but I think the combination of those two sentences winds up being "linear code is sometimes easier to comprehend, and sometimes not". The statement "linear code is easier to comprehend" is misleading. Your statement makes it seem like "at certain sizes" is the edge case; whereas, in my opinion, it's the only case that really matters. For a small enough block of code, "easier to comprehend" becomes a moot point.

> See for example Cyclomatic Complexity

I think that's only tangentially related. Cyclomatic Complexity deals with branching, which is somewhat orthogonal to refactoring out code to separate functions (though refactoring can make the branching easier to read, since it shows more in a smaller area).

Well, you shouldn't be using the recommended amount anyway. It is probably closer to reality now, but still way more than you should use.

If you listen to the amazon review videos you can hear a motor, or at least something else spinning at high speed.
I watched a documentary on this a few weeks ago. In France, there's 2 big groups which control outsized % of whole market. They squeeze producers really hard.

They have a lot of abusive rules in contracts which are unrealistic. Like, you must deliver your stuff to market X precisely at 2AM, not before not after, and for every minute of delay you pay a large fine. Now, when trying to deliver to N markets during same night, there's always delays in some of the places because the recipients in market Z are slow - fines are on the producers.

All the extra promos etc in supermarkets (buy 2 get 3) are funded by the producers as well.

You're making a lot of bold claims in this thread based on this 10% figure. But what's the evidence that builders are doing this as part of some sort of strategy to keep prices high and not a normal level of vacancy due to turnover and general market inefficiency? (Some assets in all markets will be overpriced and not sell immediately. How do we know that 10% is too high?)

Your theory also ignores the fact that builders have other ways of investing their money. Why build a house and let it sit vacant when you could have just not built that house and invested the money elsewhere?
Isn't that what the cone of shame is for? And I think my arms are relatively longer than the feline ones...
Hang on.. while I get that you mean "feel a sense of comfort/security in personal social situations" by interpersonal skills - and I agree with that characterization of what's going - I just want to say that not being able to even imagine an alternate preference is quite indicative of rather poor interpersonal skills, imo - it's un-collaborative, un-curious, un-empathetic, unnecessarily combative and short-sighted, etc. Typically associated with a bad leadership style that avoids taking responsibility for making things worse for others.
One thing that I find funny is that when I want to adopt a dog I'm screened meanwhile a drug addict or pedophile can have children no questions asked.
Builders only temporarily own property. They don’t have a long enough horizon for the land price to make much of a difference.

Interesting, but if you built that much housing in an area far removed from an ocean and without the historical economic, political, and social importance of Manhattan, it would become a ludicrous and near empty ghetto. Colorado may need more slightly more housing, but to use Manhattan as a scale does the present density of Colorado need to increase by 1% Manhattans? 2% Manhattans?
> people who feel this way have only used low-end set-top boxes

Yes I was thinking about this when I wrote it. All the set top boxes I've seen are crap with terrible UI latency and are slow to load new data. I'll admit that maybe it's possible to make it slightly less crap. But there's no way in hell typing out something on a remote with left-left-left-left-left-left-left-down click right-right-right-right-right-up click down-down-left click up-left-left-left-left click is remotely (ha) a good experience compared to a phone keyboard. And if I'm gonna have a device with a whole damn keyboard on it... it might as well be my phone.

My alternative is to use battle tested open source software. I don't suggest writing a database in house.

Also, I would say the opposite, it happens all the time. There's only a few closed source software tools that have been around for more than fifteen years, and countless that didn't make it.

While I'm able to understand your argument, IMHO the MIT license is not displaying that well. Community is plural, and fork with MIT could be like Windows: Closed source. End of the (fork) line.

Given the project itself is still strong, this might not be a problem, but then I see no reason why it has chosen it in the first place if not for that specific option.
Increasing housing supply more slowly than the corresponding housing demand increases costs, yes.
The people who read a financial newspaper probably still have a lot of their networth tied up to their real-estate.
I think you're mostly right, but I'm not sure the split is extrovert/introvert. I think it's more "I like my kids/family/home life" vs not.

I'm in technical management and would probably be considered an extrovert by engineering standards. I'm really good at navigating office politics. And I hate the office. But that's because I like my family, I like hanging out with my wife at home and my kids, and I have a great office setup at home with windows and big screens and snacks and such.

The people who I see that enjoy going to the office are either young people who live alone and/or in small places, and old people who talk crap about their spouse and kids during lunch and have an obvious disdain for them.

Well there are also the "I had to do it for my whole career, so you can suffer now too" crowd, although most of those people also seem to hate their family.
Not everyone can vote or is registered to vote.
Yeah. I think the problem is with an underlying assumption in GP's post: that because dating as a system sometimes behaves game-theoretically it is therefore equivalent to a system of economic transactions.

I think that is only sometimes true, usually in situations where relationships are mainly economic decisions. As prosperity increases and pay/power differences between genders shrink, it is becoming less frequently true, and less true on a per-relationship basis, over time.
