Our kid actually uses Jamboard daily, I expect all schools of the area to be doing so, and I'm sure the admins are pretty pissed right now. I wonder if the chromebook sales have been taking too much of a hit and they're cutting losses as usual.

This dude is externalizing the costs of training the american workforce which is done with taxes. He claims a young person is untrained when in reality by 16 years old a person in the United States is better educated and trained in all sorts of skills than the vast majority of the human race on the entire globe. This person then wants to claim that such a person has "low economic output". I could break down every single thing in his comment point by point by I really don't have time to write a book for you. Suffice to say he's just plain wrong. Morally and in basic factual assumptions about how the economy works.

Lol, tell me you never operated a restaurant without telling me you've never operated a restaurant.

1. Labor is only ~a third of costs. [1]

2. A slow day at Chick-fil-a would average like 25 people per hour (more during meals, less in between), averaging $10 per person. So $2k per 8 hour shift.

That’s how all thought works.
You realise this is the role of entire teams at certain companies right? If you automate enough parts you'd do able to automate the work of 30 people per company doing this. Not the first to work this out either.

The whole timer/alarm app experience in iOS is also the worst of all mobile OS's I've ever used. The best one was in Jolla SailfishOS. In 2014. It was so easy to add/remove/enable/disable multiple timers and alarms. And when they triggered, you could snooze or dismiss it with a simple gesture.

In iOS, you can't even have more than one active timer at a time. Like wtf???
Also, when the timer or alarm clock triggers, you are presented with view containing two buttons (yellow and purple). One of them snoozes, one of them dismisses. Which one is which, you ask? You see, to keep things simple and consistent, the button actions (and labels) switch places depending on whether the view was triggered by an alarm or a timer. Oh! and the label text color is white, which makes it reeeeeeally difficult to tell which of the fucking buttons is which, especially in a rush or in the morning when your eyes are foggy.

I would have replaced this shitty ass app in a heartbeat, except Apples strict controls kneecap all third party apps by preventing them from running in the background...

The US could decide to tax us all a small bit to make aca cheaper, or even free, just add required payroll taxes to cover it. No one wants to pay more taxes but we'd be so much better off and pay less for healthcare if we worked through the govt. I'm willing to pay more taxes for this public good, and I tell my congressmen. They never respond.

We should all have healthcare as american citizens. We choose (through the actions of our leaders and the influence of rich people having so much political influence or control over the us govt like the koch family) to not have national health care, to live in a country where huge numbers of people are one accident, health issue, job loss, or car crash away from being on the precipice of their family losing their house.

Bandcamp workers voted in favor of a union in March 16th of this year. It was one year and a week after Epic acquired the company.

It's impossible to know what Epic is thinking know, or even when they bought BC, but 6 months sounds like how long it would take to sell Bandcamp off as a retaliation for unionizing.
> No one is entitled to labor.

Correct. Which is why a business offers a wage and the labor either accepts or rejects it.

Zero times have restaurants forced people to work. Exactly all times people have chosen to work, at an agreed upon wage.

Why do you think the government should get to decide for how much I'm willing to sell my labor?
I'll admit that I never thought of it, but will now be doing so often
Coming from a C background I had the same views as you regarding white space not being information or instruction. I'll admit I looked down my nose a bit at Python in it's early days because of it.

What changed my mind, of all things, was writing Coffeescript¹. I'm not a big fan of Javascript, and writing Coffeescript felt like a distillation of Crockford's The Good Parts book. You couldn't forget and generate the bad parts.

But additionally found the indenting as code felt quite pleasant. The only hassle is not being able to press % on an opening or closing curly brace in Vi to find the other end of the block. OTOH, with the indentation, if a piece of code looked wrong, it probably was.

Mind you, I still haven't learnt much Python.

¹ These days I use Typescript, but if they ever came out with a Coffeetypescript…
I don't agree with that. This isn't a place where I find mathematical balance interesting; minimum wages exist to protect those who would otherwise be forced into indigence by the power asymmetry in their bargaining abilities. Similarly, we provide a safety net to minimize indigence that would otherwise have significant external negative costs. Cruelty is only cheap at the margin; the state provides a valuable service by making it illegal to externalize cruelty's costs.

I don't think the fact that our 90th percentile capabilities have been known to decrease at times in history refutes the idea that the broader trend is dramatically upward, in such a way that any absolute measure of skill is very likely to give you ridiculous results if you pick it based on the standards of year X and then try to use it in year X + 1000 or X - 1000. Was Pythagoras a first-rate mathematician? By what measure that wouldn't also capture millions of people--most of them not even self-described mathematicians--alive today?

I see these languages as resembling classic mathematical notation as much or more than I see them as "lazy typist" languages. To be fair, some of classic mathematics notation was designed to be easy to write on blackboards, but that's still very different from being easy to type.

Yes, that's very true. I actually have used json representation at previous gigs, I just wasn't up to adding the extra qualifiers. Whenever I've needed to use Protobufs, I've always found them very nice work, really. I certainly have a much warmer opinion of them than XML.
> Why do you think the government should get to decide for how much I'm willing to sell my labor?

Because government's role is to protect its citizens. My apologies if this government is not suitable to you, you may have to relocate if a representative democratic outcome is not to your liking. The evidence is incredibly clear workers need protections from business and capital in the current socioeconomic system, but you may disagree depending on your mental model.
I used to work at Chick-fil-a and saw the raw numbers in the back office one night. You're way under cutting it. Between 6 pm and 7 pm at the drive thru I worked at there would be at least 50 orders. Plus indoor counters would add another 100 orders to that count within just that hour. You really have no idea what you're talking about. They easily clear 30k on a good Saturday.

It is definitely not perfect. It doesn't seen to track distortions of the skin on the face, such as around the mouth on the cheeks. It tracks eye blinks, but does it track pupil dilation? Doesn't seem like it could track forehead creases, though possibly. Do the avatar's eyebrows track the real eyebrows? No way to tell, but an important part of expression. I rarely see the eyes moving, maybe an artifact of being in a dark space with only one thing to look at? Pursing of the lips is not tracked. Tongue? I don't see shoulders moving.
It's an impressive demo, yet as a repeated life experience it probably would start to feel artificial and uncanny. The video does discuss some of this. I get the impression some of it is prediction and some of it is tracking.
The majority of people would say it was dumb and wasteful much like they did for the moon landing and they would be pretty clearly correct.

I’m python you can probably do it in one line.

I spent about 30 minutes trying to get this to work. The interface as well as the drag/drop way of doing it was a huge barrier. I’m sure this can be improved, or maybe it’s not aimed at this type of project but so far not impressed by no code solutions.
This is yet another thing on my "if I ever become a billionaire" bucket list.

If I ever become a billionaire... I'll have a new OS designed, from scratch, with all the latest innovations and cool stuff, but we'll promise to never change that design, for any reason, ever. That will be our headline feature. One design for the next 20-30 years. Build with us, never redesign your app again. Learn our user interface, never need to learn anything else ever again. We’ll call it an SLA for design stability.

And if it is ever painfully necessary somehow, we'll call the new thing something else, and we'll keep making both products. We'll basically pitch it as an eternally maintained Windows 7.

It doesn't matter what point of view you imagine the comment coming from, it's still the truth.

The newbie doesn't know that yet, and believes there could be any other approach, but that doesn't matter. They are wrong.

* The very best most costly, fall over and fail

* If your design is simple enough for the autorouter to work at all, then it's simple enough to do yourself.

These two points are true and unavoidable.

Pretty good idea IMO. I don't really know what makes people love gang members and other violent scum on the Earth. Surely they stop being murderous terrorists if we are just lenient to them. Bad people can thrive because good people are afraid to make it very clear that this kind of behaviour is not accepted and you will be dead or locked for life if you even try. Let's watch some TV shows that romanticises the criminals instead, and maybe listen to some some nice music that glorifies gangs...
I've been tempted to mount a small anemometer to my car - by subtracting the groundspeed from the measured airspeed, one can get the wind speed and direction and figure out whether there is a headwind or tailwind and if so how strong. Theoretically this could be used to drive more efficiently, though the extra drag from the anemometer would probably cancel out any gains.
Would love to see this packaged like the RPi 400.
I have no idea what this guy is talking about:

> The new UI is impossible to use hands-free. Cooks who want to set or change a timer while deboning a chicken are out of luck.

I opened the timer from my watch face, scrolled down to a 30 minute timer, and started it. All with my nose. It was nearly exactly as easy as it was in the previous version.
Also: It's basically impossible to brand. Closure is a word already heavily used by the community it targets. Terrible, terrible name for a product.

Be careful. You may end up with universities where only millionaires take classes. The universities would like this because of money and the millionaires would like it because the proles would keep out of well paid careers. We would be back to how education and science worked a few hundred years ago.

As in health care I don’t think there is a market solution. Government needs to mandate lower prices for them.
>There is no recession, just normalization (zero interest rate policy, or ZIRP, was an abnormality).

I mean, both can be true. ZIRP wasn't made over the recessions either. Tech has been in that rush for at least 12 years now. If not longer. You mention 15-20 years after all.

We had at least one recession during your time period. It doesn't preclude another one.

>labor shortages in the post-pandemic era have led many employers to hold on to workers and hire less-skilled workers—even though they expect demand for their goods or services to weaken in the future. As a result, unemployment remains low, and labor productivity has declined."

I see this as a natural consequence to their actions, though. You require "Junior" engineers to have 3+ years of experience, discourage apprenticeships in lieu of short internship stints and headhunting acedemia, and overall try and compartmentalize engineering roles. So no surprise that labor in the Gen Z won't be as skilled as the Gen X that rose entire industries from the ground up. It's due (but not limited to):

- tech being more complex. How many people worked on Google search in 1999? How many work on search alone in 2023, let alone the other 30+ division Google has now.

- top talent more and more seeking out their own business ventures. Same questions as above. More startups and more Ycombinators to fund them. People really want to be or to fund "the next big thing" in a rate not seen since the Dot Com era.

- simply being ubiquitous. You can work in tech without being in a tech company. If you don't like the hustle of FAANG or high frequency trading, there are plenty of places who just need to maintain their website outside of tech. This won't drive growth as much, but it pays the bills.

There's many factors behind this, but I will emphasize that people requiring top talent need to invest in them. Schools don't have the same goals as employers, and schools as is are becoming more cost prohibitive as is.
Don't forget rounded corners.

This would be more or less in line with the details provided on all Yelp listings, no? I've seen infoboxes with everything from health grades to noise levels to whether there's a restroom available.

The relevant info depends on the business, of course, so for anything related to pregnancy services I think a "provides abortions" yes/no flag makes perfect sense.
Were your company (partially or wholly) owned by capital, there would almost certainly be different decisions made (in many different areas) because of capital's desire for a return on its investment. If you were lucky, capital would be interested only in long term value (i.e. eventually selling it, and making a profit on the stock at that time). If you were unlucky, all the short term decisions would be made with an eye to generating profit that can be returned to the shareholders as dividends. Either way, that scenario would be a "for-profit" company.

As it is, your company (like mine) is just trying to generate as much revenue as it can within whatever other parameters matter to you.

What would you call the difference between a capital-dividends-driven organization and one that only cares about actual revenue?

While I do use timers occasionally (mainly when baking or pressure cooking), I’m surprised to learn that people will set multiple timers just to caramelise onions.

I find that for most cooking tasks, sight and sound are more reliable indicators, and in many cases, the food will need to be stir or flipped so as not to burn.

An update on Insomnia 8.x here:

* Insomnia can be used locally-only with Scratch Pad.

* Insomnia can be used with an account without sharing any data using Git Sync (the data is in your Git repository, wherever that is hosted).

* Insomnia can be used with an account and without Git Sync in a fully end-to-end encrypted way (E2EE). Nobody can read your data.

* Insomnia stores your account information in Auth0, which is ISO27001, SOC 2 Type II, ISO27018, HIPAA BAA, Gold CSA STAR, PCI and GDPR compliant.

* The data is not automatically migrated anywhere unless an account is created, as clearly explained in the onboarding that users have to approve in order to get access to the product.

* Insomnia can be used for Free with an account.

Unlike Postman, we are fully E2EE on every plan, local Scratch Pad is still there, Git is always an option when having an account.

On top of this, we have shipped today 100s of features for real time collaboration, unlimited collaborators in the Free plan when working on one project, organizations, RBAC, EE SSO, multi-client support for everyone, and so on [1]

Finally, here is a video that shows how to use Insomnia locally: https://www.loom.com/share/de7af6f9e06b4452a799a033604f9270?...
