>But insurrections don’t work like that

The capitol riot thing was a stalling tactic. The ones trying to take over the government were NOT the people pooping on Nancy Pelosi's desk. We have their notes, talking about how they we submitting false electors. We know Pence called up a friend to ask whether he could come up with a legal theory to justify the process. He only didn't go through with it because he thought the plotters would kill him. A significant portion of the Republican party STILL voted to not confirm Biden as president after it happened.
Why do people expect to be blown away every year? Most people upgrade their phone every 2-3 years. This isn't the early smartphone days where there was tons of room for improvement. Moore's law has gotten increasingly closer to ending, screens are as pixel dense as necessary, and people generally are satisfied with the capabilities of their phone. Starting around 2017 smartphones as we know them peaked and so they just shove bigger/better/more cameras into them for the most part.
Works for me... Maybe it just got resolved?
> Once it achieved monopoly power, Amazon squeezed on price through fees to third-party sellers. As a third-party seller, you pay fees for listing on Amazon; for using Amazon’s warehouse services, known as Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA); and for advertising services. If you don’t pay, you don’t get put in a place on the site where consumers click.

So consumers get free shipping that is mostly paid for by third party sellers because it gives them access to a massive customer base. I dont see the problem?

I do the same. I try to buy on manufacture sites when I can. Mainly because of the 1 bin policy. Feels like some times I get products that a seller bought at a discount because of defects or package damage, and these are treated the same as new.

They also didn't really invest in a next-generation graphics system. Just a rehash of the InfiniteReality.

I agree with that. I avoid most apps.

Airline apps haven’t been problematic though. I give location only while using the app. And I’ve never received advertising notifications.

It’s quite nice to pull down an eticket into Apple Wallet and have it on my watch.
It was intended as a pun of "The Three Body Problem" novel, I would guess.
That is incredibly insightful. Nobel prize winner Richard Thaler advocates "Libertarian Paternalism" - a sort of liberal society that has good "defaults" - such as automatically taking 10% of salary each month and putting into tax sheltered index funds.

Is that some new curse word? Reducing a problem to its root causes is another term for "science."

"Obtuse"? you're the one who said "drugs are everywhere." You're the one making obtuse statements you can't support. No one's upset about rich people doing drugs, because they're not the ones smashing car windows.
It's probably because FIPS 140-2 doesn't list it. I know machines booted with fips=1 and fips certified openssl, etc, openssh won't accept ed25519 keys for key auth.
I think you have to give typescript a bit of a pass in terms of types. MS had unique constraints when designing it originally, so it's never going to meet the expectations of more hardcore "typists", but I think they've done a great job given the unique challenges. Not perfect for sure, but it's one of the few newer technologies where I think it's a clear win.
Never thought about it that way. Just wondering what is the percentage of crypto used for criminal activities? I guess it won't be easy to thing to measure?
> Mr Morrison has mobility issues, so

Exactly what I was thinking. Mobility issues or not I'm not jumping from a 30mph moving vehicle unless it was the only option (cliff or alligator-filled moat or something).

Jumping out the door of a car moving 30mph is a great way to end up with a mobility issue.

Not really, modern phones have fast charge capability that's been improving generation over generetion, so what happens is new chargers are bought to take advantage of that. The older gen chargers are E-waste either way, and apple gets to charge us for something they should have included.

You could ship outside of FBA but wont get listed in a privileged position.
your two analogies are interesting, because it shows your exercise regimen has kind of the same 'goal' as capitalism- always more! If you get faster and stronger, run further. If you become more productive at your job, increase the expectations. If you exceeded profitability this quarter, set that as a baseline and exceed it by more next quarter!

Notably, it doesn't _have_ to be that way. If you were running with a set destination, the hill would become easier over time. If we were paid based on our productivity, we could work less and enjoy the same lifestyle.
That was definitely the idea behind the rebranding, and we're seeing that with increasingly more Google-controlled stuff like the SoC. But at first it wasn't that different from Nexus practically speaking.
It’s massively overrated too. It’s a detailed handbook on the engineering problems of it’s time (sorting, parsing, …) which have all been ‘solved’ since.

The value is the interaction. I try to have a discussion about the topic. You can read all about it on the website, but here's where I can ask you questions to see if you get it and we can discuss and clarify.

(Now, I grant you, in a room of 300, interaction is severely limited. I'm lucky my classes tend to have fewer than 20 people.)

If I give a lecture that you could have just watched a video of, I fell short.

It's tough to get right. I'm still working on it.
hardliners tend to not be great engineers

100% agree.

"Strong opinions, weakly held" is okay with me though. I don't call that "hardlining."

Although, sometimes it's hard to differentiate "strong opinions, weakly held" from "strong opinions, strongly held, not open to new ideas."

That reminds me of another: the butter churn. For the first time many women produced a product that allowed them to leave the house and earn money that’s not associated with their partner. The butter churn was a huge step towards women’s liberation and was seen as hugely fashionable. Marie Antoinette had a creamery built so she could imitate this hugely popular activity.

> A woman can choose to decouple having sex with getting pregnant.

Minor point: Unless that act is criminalized or mad illegal or otherwise inaccessible.

I think you’re right that many technologies do provide choice. My interpretation is that when the choice is “live easier” or “go faster” it’s not really a choice.
it's super obnoxious, even when it's only slight sensitivity changes (which it isn't here) I notice it and feel violated

> On cars with an electronic handbrake, do they have a way to apply the brakes while the car is moving?

It's a while ago now, but I had a Jaguar XJ with an electronic parking brake. If you just pulled it up while driving it would beep angrily at you, but if you held on to it for a few seconds it would apply (while beeping angrily). I tried it once in an empty parking lot to see what would happen, but only at like 20mph. It just slowed down a bit. Not a chance it could've overcome the engine at any more than idle.

In fact, I remember my dad once trashing his handbrake in the '80s by driving his car for 50 miles or so with it applied. He just thought it was down on power for a bit, before the brakes heated up and they stopped having any effect.
you might want to check what established distributions are already doing :)

Depends on a few factors:

My nameserver, 8.8.8.8, and 1.1.1.1 are all about 25ms away from me. Mine is actually a few ms closer, but that will vary.

Bigger nameservers will have warmer caches, so first lookup might be a bit slower on my nameserver.

I presume the big nameservers are managed well under capacity, so load should not be significant.

All told, I cannot perceive any performance difference at all.
That's a common take but it doesn't really hold any water: computers are logic machines and all of Computer Science is based on logic; and it works just fine.

Besides which, you may not hear about them in the news but pretty much all the classical, symbolic- and logic-based approaches of Good, Old-Fashioned AI are still going strong and are doing very well thank you in tasks in which statistical machine learning approaches underperform.

To give a few examples: automated planning and scheduling (used e.g. by NASA in its autonomous guidance systems for its spaceships and rovers), program verification and model checking (the latter has transformed the semiconductor industry and led to several recent Turing awards), SAT-solving and constraint satisfaction (where recent algorithmic advances have made it possible to solve many instances of NP-complete decision problems in polynomial time), adversarial search (AlphaGo and friends aren't going anywhere without Monte Carlo Tree Search), program synthesis (you can generate code with LLMs, but good luck if you want it to work correctly), automated theorem proving, heuristic search, rule learning, etc etc.

To clarify, those are all logic-based approaches that remain the state of the art in classical AI tasks where statistical machine learning has made no progress in the last many decades. You may not read about them in the news and they're not even considered "AI" by many, but that's because they work and work very well, and the "AI Effect" takes hold [1].

Even poor old expert systems are the de facto standard for expressing business logic in the software industry. I guess. Informally, of course.

Google offers virtual credit card numbers fyi. I don’t think they are vendor locked, but offer a potential solution for you. Albeit one with additional drawbacks.
Yes.

My only critique of your lifecycle is that in more recent times, "Years" should be replaced with "Months".. or sometimes Weeks.
If you want to and if you are aware of the dangers of what technology and modern work life can do, you can have a convenient and slow life today. Yes, you might be expected to constantly consume, but you don't have to. Throw out the TV, consistently ignore and switch off ads. I firmly believe that it is possible to enjoy the ease of modern technology life, and that drawbacks and not inherent.

Technology does make my life easier.

One aspect that I think does make life worse today is that families and friends tend to be distributed across larger distances -- too large to decide spontaneously to share a beer in a pub. It is more healthy and convenient to live close to the people you love to spend time with. But I am not sure this is technology's fault.

It is, and that misses the point. Lets assume hand washing is an hour and contact time for washer dryer is 10 minutes. We have absolutely saved 50 minutes of labor. Unfortunately we all tend to fill that time up with extra things. Maybe we got a bigger house and have a lawn to mow. Maybe we're a two income household where the person doing the washing is also working, maybe we're checking email.

The point is that the majority of people make the choice not to leverage the time saved in additional pursuits but to cram more things into their week.

I certainly personally feel a little more frazzled than I believe I did at a time when the Internet was only accessible at big corporations and universities and when phones were (for most people) connected to wires in their houses and the only thing a watch could do was tell time and set alarms.

This is not (at least for me) a criticism of technology or innovation. I happen to be unreasonably obsessed with both. It does raise the traditional question of "what is a good life" and how can we be thoughtful about how we engage with technology to ensure that we replace drudgery with joy - not just more tasks, things and obligations.
I liked this post about Puppy Linux so much it's linked on my home page (nvm that i dont have any other pages):

Maybe a new paradigm could be the personalization of the language to each user, where the user controls which areas are exposed in lower or higher levels. The underlying code is stored in a neutral "byte code" and then decompiled on demand based on the user's preferences or job role.

It's totally theoretical and would create so many nightmare scenarios, but very cool to conceptualize.
They're no longer conceptually different in the case of discs (though maybe for the cartridges Nintendo still uses). Inserting a disc into a ps4 for the first time often just triggers a download for all of the game data, rather than copying from disc. Add to the fact new releases are heavily patched these days which requires download. At least in the ps3 era launch titles were a fairly complete product.

Once Sony phases out support for the ps4, the console is rendered useless for playing anything that isn't already installed. Hence my copy of Bloodborne is staying on there. I know they'll probably release some "remaster" but I'm not keen on re-purchasing what I already own (there are gamers that do this... buying a game multiple times, even in the same console generation, it's crazy).
After it's fixed you can add an option for "around the corner" straights, which count an ace both ways and wrap. For example: Q-K-A-2-3

I mean Microsoft hires any college grad that can solve medium leetcodes, its not like it’s a huge endorsement.
Yeah. And that's part of why all those cars have fully electronically controlled brakes. They're all balanced so when you put your foot on the brake pedal, the car combines calipers and regenerative braking to induce the deceleration that a driver would expect. From what I've read, it's mostly regenerative unless you're going very slowly or you're braking hard at speed.
I would agree that its fine to not include it, had they not switched to usb-c right when they stopped including bricks so all my new devices came with usb-c chargers but I only have usb-a bricks

They make a weird kids STEM toy that's a surprisingly well thought out pen plotter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSFW5ok3ROc&start=128

The big arms are attached to the egg thing with two magnets, so a kid shoving their hand into the moving parts is very safe; it just falls apart. And you can see the clever arrangement of the three moving parts (axis 1, axis 2, and lift/drop pen).
I fail to see how tech such as GPS doesn't make navigating easier.

Sure, you can argue that it makes it faster by finding a more optimal route, but you could have had an optimal route without GPS too, it was just harder.

In general you will still get there at around the same time, but it will have been easier on the brain to do it.

Yes, I love this and I'd love for the nesting proposal and custom media queries to gain broad browser support.
(edit: just realized I'm living in the past already! ^^)

Tailwind has a similar directive in external CSS files. Pun: it's not called @media. But the DSL again has some benefits here.

@apply + @screen is more powerful than what's possible in vanilla CSS. Especially regarding nesting and enforcing the design system breakpoints. Tailwind is pretty closely related to PostCSS in this regard, and keeps its syntax extensions close to proposals that might one day become standards (nesting, custom media queries etc)

But using Tailwind and focusing on external CSS files seems like the worst of both worlds.

I have to say, in a React context I prefer styled components or simple external CSS, but in my previous job Tailwind was a godsend. Having to churn out large amounts of CSS in a quick yet precise manner, involving other team members who might have different habits and knowledge levels, this is where Tailwind shines for me.

Electric vehicles are necessarily more electronically complex than ICE ones. While many ICE cars on the road today and virtually all ICE cars for sale today are also electronically complex, an ICE car does not necessarily need to be so electronically complex.

ICE cars did (and could still) exist entirely without computers, electric cars can not.

The integration of things like regenerative breaking inherently requires turning functions like breaks from linkages and cylinders to things like solenoids and sensors and code.

While each of these points is debatable about what the safer solution is overall, the fact that this is an electric car (with the associated electronic requirements) is relevant to the debate.
