We agree. My point is that the evidence seems to be going in the direction of:

1. removing transcendence removes part of the benefit; and,

2. to complicate matters, many protocols fail to properly control for transcendent experience because a lot of control groups are placed in a quiet room, free of distraction, and invited to ponder life.

We're both materialists. Mine is a materialist position.
I'd curious if there was a way to find Wikipedia categories with the largest amount of stubs, and if that might potentially be an indicator of topics that have the least amount of information on the site.

Conversely, I hardly never see Elixir advertised from anywhere I pay attention to, including in several years working at a VC evaluating the technology of potential investments.

I suspect we're both stuck in bubbles.
They weren’t chosen with mnemonics in mind, because there are 32 of them. You might be interested in the keyboard on the IBM Model 33 teletype (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TTY33ASR.jpg>) which had labels for many (but not all) control characters directly on the keycaps.

Infuriating to see how Israeli soldiers are criticized for their self-defense tactics in the face of fundamentalist terrorists. The author's expectation seems to be that soldiers travel the streets, exposing themselves to militant fire from within the buildings. How woke.
MySpace as a major hub for musicians was probably an accident - originally it was just a clone of friendster, a social media site that was notorious for going offline.

Too bad too, because back in the aughts (even after the News Corp acquisition) bands still relied on it for an internet presence, advertising shows, etc.
It is not whataboutism. It is pointing out outcomes in the other approaches may not be as good sounding as they are.

Elsewhere on this site, you proclaimed to be a libertarian opposed to almost any and all government-related functions. There's nothing wrong with that of course, but... I suspect that probably colours your opinion somewhat?

If you've got data or research that supports your argument that the CBC is, as a whole, deserving of such low quality and trust, I'm genuinely interested to hear it.

Otherwise, it just reads as ideological opposition as opposed to genuine criticism.

We tried that actually, and it can work well but you make a different set of trade offs. For example, you can’t get the granularity that durable coroutines give you, you’re bound to snapshot and restore the entire state of the application.

WASM is also not as mature of a tech for server side systems, a lot is left to figure out so the type of applications that you can build with it remains limited.

What you’re sensing is that we’re very far apart on this issue, even down to some core assumptions. For example, an organization is not obligated to pay any particular individual an amount that you deem to be satisfactory to obviate the need for state welfare benefits, the mention of which in this context is a non sequitur.
The new show was nothing like the old Daily Show. At least the couple of episodes that I saw of it.
That is really true, it is a workaround to avoid designing a proper macro system instead.

Likewise the new interceptors infrastructure is a workaround to avoid implementing proper AOP support, like Microsoft Fakes.
From the doctrinaire EA perspective, the positive EV of educating a million kids far enough exceeds the negative EV of a few of them being raped, maimed, or killed to make the enterprise worthwhile even if nothing is done to address abuse or neglect beyond ensuring it doesn't happen too much more often than now.

From the doctrinaire EA perspective, open discussion of such abuses could easily pose a sufficient risk of impacting the EV of the educational program that suppressing the victims' efforts to seek public justice becomes justifiable.

No one is saying that. Your original comment can be read like you're saying using hints is a sign of failure of the person writing the query which is probably why the downvotes. Maybe you meant a sign of failure for the optimizer, which is also debatable given they really cannot be perfect. An optimizer will quickly run into NP-hard problems like join ordering - which is just one small reason among many that they won't always find the fastest query plan.
The narrative for why Epic did it is believed to be that it was an arrow in the "Apple is a monopoly" quiver. Epic would build a music-buying iOS App, and then complain to the government that Apple demands 30% of the revenue.

I think this gets exacerbated with the "we're a family!" culture of employee in-groups. Feeling like a company is your home amplifies the disappointment and feeling of betrayal when the CEO decides to sell.

C# is pretty good, they have done a great job in language design. I miss using the language (TypeScript is great also).

Correct answer. Sell some, not all.

At least it is a better situation than Stripe, which got very greedy at that $95B inflated valuation until it lost 50% of that with a massive downround.

$80B - $95B for OpenAI seems already extremely overvalued and not taking into account for competition at all.

$800B is just borderline nonsense at this point.
I think evaluation grew like 4 times in a year, it is a good deal.
You're right; if only they worked on real problems and not virtual opiates.
The headline, the picture, the article --- it would be easier to take them seriously if they just made the tools work and stopped posing for band pictures.

I am happy to have the tools, but the hype, the valuation, the "we have solved everything" mentality. It's just so offputting.
I didn't say the article is moot. What I wanted to offer was a counterpoint because in the last few days ago I've been reading is how they are killing everything that made BC BC. And it's simply not like that for all of us.
Probably restrictions on sales even for early employees. Might be able to sale 25% of mature (exercised a few months ago) shares. Still will be a tidy sum for some though :)

Does that mean company is exploited by its workers if it generates no profit?

If you simply mean the company underpay its employees, how can you come to that conclusion? Looking at market values? Lines of code?

Care to elaborate? business give people jobs, and therefore the business becomes an exploiter? Objectively
It helps me mentally because I jump back and forth a lot.

I've been an Elixir fan for years to the point that it changed the way I think about programming. At the same time, it's really hard even for Elixir to beat a lot of the productivity benefits of Ruby and there's plenty of Ruby-oriented work out there too so I live in both worlds.

I write Ruby in a much more functional style now than I previously did, but there are always going to be times when you hit one of those "this would be so much easier in Elixir" moments (not just for Ruby) because there are certain hard things that are just simple in Elixir. Anytime I can utilize some of those techniques in Ruby it lightens my mental load.
> but profit comes from the value you generate beyond what you are paid.

Maybe centuries ago that was true. In the modern economy, workers are already extracting the full amount of value they generate[1]. Profit for a business comes from the additional value its capital is able to generate on top of the labour value.

[1] Within reason. The market is never perfectly efficient. Sometimes workers see slightly less – sometimes slightly more – but not anything hugely out of line.
The Ironwolf Pro 16TB (which is around the sweet spot today in $/tb) is literally only $20 cheaper than the Exos X16. At that point why bother? Just buy the enterprise drive with all of the reliability features.
The internet is sorely missing a layer of infrastructure for communities, that allow entities to create, nurture and profit from communities, but not be able to rug pull previously delivered functionality and community provided content down the road. Communities need to be able to gracefully fork if they need to.

Besides protecting a community's investment, this would better align the short & long term profit interests of corporations with their communities.

It's clear that ethics, values and internet protocols need more alignment. The open source community, their licenses and tools, are a good example where similar issues have been (and continue to be) hashed out.

Your comment about states running marketplaces reminded me of the ill-fated Clinton-era welfare "reform". This moved Federal funds to state block grants and states managing programs and eligibility (ie TANF) [1]. The result? The system became significantly less efficient in terms of how much of each Federal dollar resulted in aid as well as how many people received assistance and how much assistance recipients got.

I'm not sure what the basis was for state marketplaces for the ACA but the history of involving states seems to make everything worse. Adding an intermediary allows programs to be scuttled and money diverted (if not outright stolen) by other programs and participants.

As an example, Texas refused free money from the Federal government for Medicaid expansion, amounting to $5-6 billion per year [2].

To your point, I think that what you describe is also a common cause for depression. As Freud said (paraphrasing): most of my patient's aren't mentally ill, they just haven't learned how to live well. There is much to be said for the idea that psychological needs are (mostly) physiological needs like sleep, food, water and exercise. If we extend that to include social needs like love, security, a healthy sex life, stimulating conversation and adventure, we start to approach a notion of transcendence.
Not to defend Bandcamp in this particular scenario, but I feel there's something people often miss when psychoanalyzing why companies behave this way that I think explains quite a lot.

Web properties, just like any property even in the physical world, become more expensive to operate in the long term. Very rarely do I hear of companies spending less money to operate something in the future than they did early on. Part of this is scale, as things become more popular, it takes more people to keep it running. Another part of it is macroeconomics, stuff they rely on, particularly labor (landscapers in the physical world or server admins, for instance) can become more expensive due to a number of factors. A lot of people, like the author of this post, assume that once a web property is built, it exists forever (like a statue or monument), but that's of course not the case.

When a company needs to make decisions to increase their margin, a lot of people attribute it to "growth," and use it almost in a derogatory way. I think a more charitable way to see it is that it's not necessarily growth (although I'm sure that is a factor), but just to even keep the website running, a lot of times the same decisions need to be made (i.e., layoffs, charging for stuff that used to be free, etc).

When you think about it this way, it really seems like either these sites make decisions like this to continue to exist, or they cease existing. This seems to track pretty well with a lot of cases I can think of. I think some very ideologically motivated people can work extremely hard to keep operating costs down to avoid this scenario (Craigslist comes to mind), but this is not easy, and it's very far from being the "default".
Actually, stack traces are a very poor way to provide context.

I can't count how many times I've worked with some library in ${LANGUAGE_WITH_EXCEPTIONS}, and had an exception print out a giant stack trace, only for me to realize that the stack trace is useless because the place where exception is raised isn't the place where the error actually happened, but is actually some wrapper/worker collector/other kind of indirection mechanism. In other words, stack traces are directly bound to call stacks, and call stacks don't necessarily contain all relevant context of an error - they only do so in case of simple, single-threaded programs.

Golang-style error-as-values actually provide real, human-curated context that is relevant to the operation at hand. They can be passed between goroutines, and are completely independent of any call stacks. That, in my opinion, makes them vastly superior to stack traces.
No he didn't. To prove he didn't, for example, look at car and home insurance. Not tied to your employer and not "socialized" either.
What's clear is that you don't like cars, and you're willing to make people's lives worse to reduce the number of them.

For less dogmatic people, it may be useful to reflect on what else needs to be done to make public transit useful to more people, beyond the price.
Ruby is generally an object-oriented language, at least in practice if not by design, and pattern matching goes against the object-oriented grain (in my opinion, at least-would love to hear others).

The object oriented approach isn't to try and extract conclusions on a data structure so that we may utilize it correctly, but instead to use an object with a interface we can interact with regardless of the organization of the data. Neither approach is a right or wrong way to program, but culturally Ruby leans towards the object oriented mentality.
Having (almost) all of your net worth in one company is not a good general investment advice, especially if you are not already independently wealthy. That being said, there were people who got immensely rich by doing just that and keeping a lot of their net worth inside one company for a long time. In general though, one should rather try to diversify broadly.

I suppose this round is mainly present to retain those employees who want to buy houses from their shares, as in big tech they would be getting, after vesting, highly liquid RSUs. The fact that the company leadership makes an entire round just for them shows what immense bargaining power they have.

I'll stop replying after this because it's gone outside the realm of a sane conversation, but...

> Yeah, it wasn't. It was split between Steam, GOG, Stadia, PlayStation 4 (one of the best-selling consoles of all times), Xbox One, PlayStation 5 (the best-selling console of its generation) and Xbox Series. Starfield on the other hand is split between Steam and PC Xbox and Xbox Series (which has like half the unit sales of the PS5). I don't get why you would argue that Starfield is "more split up" when it's a console exclusive and Cyberpunk 2077 was as multi-platform as it could be.

You're conflating irrelevances. You're talking specifically about Steam player count. Cyberpunk on PC was Steam and Epic. Both at same price. At launch, Starfield on PC at launch was split between Steam (70usd) and XBox App (0usd for ~30m GP subs, or ~16/mo). Of course GP will take a bigger chunk sales from Starfield as if you don't expect to play a game forever, it's cheaper to buy GamePass and play it for 4 months than to buy it on Steam.

Quite the contrary, I am impressed. The trouble with the corruption perception index is that it rewards any systemic corruption that can limit perception above a transparent system.
I still find it amazing and love it. It does 90% of what I want from a silo'd experience. Sure it would be nice to have more but nothing else comes close unless you want to run multiple instances gobbling up even more ram than tabs and juggling those. I manage cookies with cookie autodelete which does much of what I want for cookie management.
"Goodwill" is fungible only in one direction. Goodwill turns into money but money never ever turn into goodwill.

(Can you think of an counterexample? A small, beloved indie business that was bought out by a megacorp and had consumers love it more because it had more money?)

So, it's like entropy. The latch only moves in one direction. Given a consumer beloved business, the only possible thing that can happen is that its goodwill is turned, quickly or slowly, into money. This is actually ok. Every beautiful living thing will eventually die. It's simply a fact of life. Cherish the good things while you can, because entropy will always win.

Gemini may be a victim here too, as TFA explains: it's Genesis that ran the scam (with DCG being Genesis' parent company).

I think the Winklevoss brothers honestly "saw" Bitcoin before most, just like they saw FaceBook before Zuckerberg stole it from them (Zuckerberg lost not just one but two lawsuits against the twins).

They may have been blinded by Genesis/DCG: just like, say, the New-York Times and Forbes got blinded by SBF / FTX.

But I don't think it's fair to say, especially while there's a lawsuit ongoing, that you "fell" for it: they are likely just victims of Genesis (and the lawsuit shall try to determine if that's the case or not).

Now they may have sold unregistered securities, but that's very different compared to downright theft (like Genesis or SBF or so many others did).

That said I'm sorry about the $13 K loss and if it's any consolation I told someone close to GFTO of BlockFi because these 8% were obviously a scam (and I don't think BlockFi was guilty: they fell for the Genesis scam) and he managed to get his 1 BTC out of BlockFi before things went south (not too sure what eventually happened to BlockFi and people who had funds there).

Sure, but at 92% occupancy and a delinquent loan on the building with negative cash flows, the lower valuation removes the ability to sell and come out ahead. They're in a hole, digging deeper and the escape plan just collapsed in on them.
