I can't remember the name of the book I read this from so grain of salt/do your own research, but it was on the topic of why farming replaced hunting/gathering/migratory patterns.

One of the reasons mentioned was because despite hunting/gathering generally providing better nutrition (due to the variability in food), farming produced more calories. So the decision became (these number are made up) "we can farm and provide high quantities of poor nutrition to keep all of us alive", vs "we can hunt/gather to keep 75% of in great health, while 25% of the group dies."

Basically once a certain population threshold is reached the group has to enter a cycle of farming -> allows more babies to survive -> farm more. Your comment and this anecdote reminds of the capitalism cycle of consume more -> produce more value -> consume more.

If true, we've been unable to escape this cycle for thousands of years.
36 years is a long time to make these headaches go away...

Sometimes leadership is the simple and infinitely fractal effort of just making it happen.
> People say this, but are there?

Yes. Anyone who takes a moment to think through the numbers logically recognizses this. And the two replies that my comment have gotten pouncing on me saying that, including yours, is the reason why it must be said.

The thing about police is that it's one of those things where the routine interactions and police work, which is representative of the vast majority of what goes on, is boring and uneventful. There is no reason for it to ever make headlines.

But it only takes one incident of corruption or one costly mistake and everyone is talking about it. That's a good thing, it needs to be addressed. But it really skews public perception and makes people think that that kind of stuff is way more commonplace than it actually is.
You're describing basically every ATS (applicant tracking system). The problem is that those are all internal-facing, so there's no incentive to make your life easier as a candidate. I'm trying to tackle this with https://rolepad.com, a job application tracking system that can be connected to an employer portal and provide greater transparency and just make the whole candidate experience much better (the employer part is still under development though).
Honestly not sure? I only use my taskbar on the primary monitor.
> The damage caused by indiscriminate internet commenting is negligible...

So that was an attempt to point out that, when you make claims like you did, with no supporting evidence, others can also make claims with no supporting evidence. Why should we take your claim seriously, and not mine?

But apparently that was a mistake, because you answered my "claim" as if it were a serious one, instead of a random thing thrown out there with the same structure as your claim.

My point was that anyone can claim that anything is a mental illness. Without something more to back it up, it's just someone pontificating on the internet.

The rest of my post was an attempt to get you to supply something to back up your position, because I didn't get it in your initial post.

> The damage caused by wealth hoarding is tangible...

Yeah? Then state what it is, and demonstrate that the damage is actual rather than theoretical. Don't assume that we all agree with you that it is.

> It's concerning that when posed with an opinion, you jump to an Ad Hominem point of view. Who I am is not important, and you should judge my comment on whether it raises an interesting point worthy of discussion or further consideration.

You're stating that something should be considered a mental illness. My evaluation of that claim depends a great deal on whether you know anything about what is or is not mental illness. So far, it looks like you are labeling <thing you don't like> as <other thing you expect your readers not to like>, with no actual connection beyond that. And that would have just been a bad rhetorical device, except that you went on to advocate locking them up. If you're going to advocate locking up people for mental illness, it matters a great deal whether you are a competent mental health professional.

> I don't know about him apart from what I just saw on Wikipedia, so I can't help dissect which people have been disadvantaged to gain him massive profits.

But, by saying "which people", you seem to be assuming that there are some. But again, you provide no evidence whatsoever, nor even an argument - you just state it as if it must be so.

> However, your language indicates that you are trying to pick an argument, despite not actually providing any counter-argument...

Well, see, my problem with your post was that you didn't provide an argument. You made a massive claim that was completely unsupported. The burden of proof was on you to demonstrate why we should take your claim seriously. You didn't even attempt to do that. My reply was an attempt (apparently a bad one) to point that out, and to try to get you to meet that burden of proof, so that we could have something of substance to talk about.
DDR5 ram has bandwidth of 32,000–64,000 MB/s[1]. Why does it take 20s to check it unless you have a monstrous amount?

It's ok, the actual real reason urbanites live in the city is for the jobs, and for all the other people they know there, that are also there for jobs.

That said green belts are great for stopping urban sprawl. They don't extend indefinitely though and they certainly don't uproot existing small towns/villages.
> Basically, Bun is a lot faster and simpler

Funny enough, I got our work project working with yarn berry (whatever number this was this summer) in 10-15 minutes, but I couldn't manage to do the same with bun. I'll try again now after they got few minor updates probably just to see if its better now...
I thought Windows 10 was the final version. Maybe I misunderstood. I was under the impression that it would just get updates going forward.
I suspect when Germany exists as an example of a functioning democracy that overtly bans pro-fascist speech and demonstration, the burden of proof is upon the critic to condemn their approach. The leadership of the RAF was eventually imprisoned; using the US's neo-Nazis as a counter-example, I don't think I can accept the assumption that denial of a forum would have stopped the growth of the RAF (America's relatively free platform for overt discussion and support of fascism has certainly done nothing to stop such groups from organizing on that side of the ocean).

> In any case, the healthy mind does not mistake expressed feelings, wishes and fantasies or even blustering statements of "intent" (eg. "I'm going to f*king kill my mother in law") from actual reality and actions in the world.

I worry this is a no-true-Scotsman statement. How do we square this notion with the events of January 6, 2021 in response to the President of the United States saying "We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore?" Were those who responded to his words with a physical attack on the Capitol building and the people inside of unhealthy mind? And even if they were, should a President bear some manner of responsibility for either the unawareness of who he's talking to or the awareness and lack of care if he agitates that group into violent action?
Youtube is a great example of the performance difference. Videos have risen in quality because of modern codecs, but old or cheap machines need to decode them in software (sometimes in Javascript, which is terribly wasteful but works on every machine) because they lack a modern GPU. On the other hand, for most devices, the increased battery life, lower temperatures, and smaller RAM/disk space requirements are obvious improvements. Youtube could leave duplicate files with the old encoding on their servers (if you use an alternative frontend for Youtube, you can often see the old file formats still being available for old content!) but that's just wasted space with most of the world visiting from more recent devices.

Most RAM usage increases in Chrome have come from advancements in the sandboxing architecture. Shared memory and process space could be used to attackaand bust out of sandboxes, so more isolation was added. I'm sure there are some more useless features leading to a jump in RAM usage as well, but the really big ones always seem to be the fact Chrome spawns a new, independent process for every tab/extension.

I've also noticed how much impact ad blockers have these days. With the web becoming ever shittier, effective adblockers have become harder to make and need more resources to do their job.

Software doesn't get slower just to make your day harder. In many cases, slow software is a result of replacing dangerous hacks by good implementations and changing requirements. FLV videos just don't cut it anymore, and I doubt h264 will be around in five years with h265 and AV1 making it's way to more and more devices.

To which they respond:

>> Shopify says that it’s not feasible for the company to investigate the validity of all takedown notices in detail. As such, these false claims resulted in actual removals and the affected stores also received strikes on their accounts.
I would if I could. There are a number of models available, but I have no real insight as to which are the best. I'm building my own for this endeavor.
I think that's still a very surface-level element. Nothing of the details or the actual tone of the stories generally survives. The atmosphere is rarely oppressive in the show, it's typically clinical. The Ushers themselves are generally content, calm and collected throughout, up until the moment of their final murder. The oldest brother is the only exception, and is by far the most interesting character for it; his is the only story that really seemed to catch more than the surface level.
Sure, Tesla has hybrid sales of zero. It doesn't make golf cart battery packs and electric bike motors. Toyota is great at making (buying off the shelf) those things and connecting them to gas motors.

However, toyota is not great at making EVs and only now is releasing their first (very mediocre) EV. Probably because a hybrid and EV are very different under the hood.

NASA Feb 2019

The world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a counterintuitive source for much of this new foliage: China and India. A new study shows that the two emerging countries with the world’s biggest populations are leading the increase in greening on land. The effect stems mainly from ambitious tree planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.

> Teams has no business being as slow and awful as it is

Why not? This is part of the problem I'm talking about: we have too many armchair software engineers that know nothing about extremely complex codebases making sweeping generalizations about how they "should be". Their solutions are invariably "let's get rid of most features" or "let's just start over and Do It Better This Time."

I remember the first time I played Echo VR. I'm not sure it was because I wasn't used to VR, because of the duration I played the first time or what, but the first minutes after removing the VR headset, I had some sort of disassociation with my arms in real-life.

That must have been back in 2017/2018 sometime. Add in current generation of voice recognition and generation, better performance for both headsets and the games themselves, LLM to help the "partner" to feel more alive regarding behavior and I think you could get pretty close to "fooling" someone if they use it enough.

I'd guess something like that would make loneliness worse in the world though, rather than better.

No, they don't. You seem to have an ideological bias against fruit. Until you address it, a lot won't make sense to you.
Kinda surprised by all the "stuck on Yarn v1" comments so far...

We went through the same "~2015 everyone uses yarn", "~2020 everyone goes back to npm" cycle, but in the last ~year or so are back on yarn v3 for...reasons that I forget (oh yeah, the ability to download multiple platform libs for when you're running in docker [1])...but :shrug: it's been great.

My only complaint is that `yarn dedupe` should be automatic (as it was in yarn v1), or at least via a flag. :-D

But otherwise yarn v3 (with the node_modules linker) has been great, and look forward to using v4.

[1] here's the "afaict npm can't do this?" snippet we use in `.yarnrc.yml`: https://gist.github.com/stephenh/43c7f15b97b73baf821f2a22c62...
> How is a service provider supposed to determine which of the alleged infringements were actually infringements?

Here's an outline of what the service provider has to do when they receive a notice from a complainer about alleged infringing material posted by a user of the service, if the provider wants to take advantage of the DMCA safe harbor.

1. Do a simple check of the complaint to see if it contains the required information (contact information of the complainer, asserting that the complainer is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, description of what specifically is allegedly infringing, etc).

2. If it passes the check remove the alleged infringing material.

3. If the alleged infringer tells service provider that the material is not infringing, the service provider must restore the alleged infringing material, and provide the complainer with contact information of the alleged infringer.

After that if the complainer wants to force the removal of the material they have to bring an infringement lawsuit against the alleged infringer.

If the complainer does so and wins then the person who was an alleged infringer becomes simply an infringer.

The complainer can again ask the provider to take down the material, but this time instead of making a DMCA request they can provide a copy of the judgement from that lawsuit. That makes the provider aware that the material is actually infringing, not just allegedly infringing, and the DMCA safe harbor is not available. The provider must take down the material or the provider itself might be liable for infringement.

And this

> It focuses on benefits on what semantic CSS offers. aka "naming things" vs "not naming things".

That's the problem, you are focusing on giving semantic names to classes while giving an inferior UX on your example. If the inferior UX saves me a few KBs on size and a few milliseconds in load time, I'd still prefer good UX.

A fair comparison should be good UX with semantic CSS.

Create single page landing page with an "I'm interested here's my email" modal. Use the single page to explain the problem and proposed solution (use mock up designs, whatever).

If you get N-emails, then you got a potential business.. where N is some number you invent.

The problem I see is this isn't something youtubers go searching for so SEO/content isn't going to get you leads. This will be a selling game with direct outreach/network.

What you need are a handfull of youtubers you are tight with to help you get in front of a bunch of youtubers.
> The root cause is probably the incrementalist approach we take to developing software.

I would blame the "unix philosophy" and "worse is better" approaches of the past, but I bet they were more symptomatic than causal, and their equivalents in other digital realms pop up all the time: IBM vs clones, unix wars, protocol wars, at various times its fights between 'official' (described as stuffy) vs 'pragmatic' (described as lax/crappy) definitions of stuff.

I'd hazard a guess that since (for those of us who are young and therefore spew confident sounding incorrect speculation like this comment) we still have so much of the old 'it works, ship it' hacker groups of the 70s in our past, then the overreach of the CASE / UML / XML fever of the late 90s which we have in turn overreacted against by going too far in the 'look its a containerized k8s pod running behind a reverse proxy that runs some react and uses leftpad to graphql your (must always be online) user information record in this headless electron because SHIP IT' direction.

PS: our historical 'its good enough' precedent didn't help, we've been trapped on 'very fast PDP-11s' for decades. Even BWK and the other forerunners of our modern C + unixlike stack weren't able to get us un-stuck from that stack and so plan 9 etc. failed to catch on. The Lindy Effect is a double-edged sword for sure.

So good day to you.
For what it's worth as another Flash/AIR developer, this is exactly how it happened.

Apple is just very good at spinning the narrative in their favor, i.e. it was because of "stability/security/performance issues" and not "it's a potential App Store competitor, bury it now".

See also: Apple preventing apps from downloading/including scripts dynamically (read: AIR), which was a total security risk, until it wasn't when they lifted the restriction years later when AIR was not so relevant anymore.

Glad to be corrected tho
I mean, if the government wants to buy something from you they do it relatively easily. You don't have to persuade them for months and years as frequently expected in enterprise sales. They just request a quota (RFQ), send a PO, and then pay the invoice. No elaborate RFPs or endless bidding processes.

Of course, it's not always like that. But in my experience such simplified purchases were sufficiently frequent to (pleasantly) surprise me.

This happened with my wife's Fusion Energi.

It used AT&T 3G to communicate with Ford's MyFordMobile servers. Ford sunset MyFordMobile shortly after AT&T sunset 3G nationwide (US) two years ago. They had a service program which replaced the head units with more modern SYNC 4 ones that have 4G radios in them and work with Ford's FordPass service.

However, the dealer nearby us didn't know about the service and, because they didn't have the parts on hand, would have needed to hold that car for two weeks before doing any work.

So, just like that, we lost remote start (via app), location tracking and a bunch of actually useful features.

I don't think that estimate takes into account the power savings you'd get from an ARM sbc versus a NUC or NUC-like minipic.
Well, they seem to innately be disgusted by we as food. They also seem to have some "respect" for we as hunters or something like that (but then, this one is easy to acquire). And differently from almost every other predator on Earth, that "respect" doesn't innately lead to fear.

Since both of those are reciprocal, it's as much an innate relation as you can get with thinking social animals.

> This is one of the reasons that I think Kant's ideas on Deontology (also Confucian philosophy around relationships) is the correct one for a functioning society. There is a framework of "Right" and "Wrong" that exists outside of "Good" and "Bad". Doing what is beneficial for society, and what is expected of society is right, regardless of the Good nature of it. If society expects you to fight in a war, and you kill someone, that is "Right" regardless of the fact that killing is "bad".

This is a tangent but I've never heard anyone summarize Kant this way.

For Kant, "right" is a subset of "good". So there is no right action that is not good. In other words, per Kant, it's absolutely not acceptable for you to do something bad because it's "necessary" according to whatever metric.
I was a yarn 2+ convert because of how much faster installs were (and the corresponding reduced disk bloat). It unfortunately doesn't play well with Angular, and lots of people fall back to the "node_modules" strategy which does away with much of the benefits.

Is there any good comparison out there of the JS package managers, and the trade-offs they make? I happen to really like the disk/time vs compatibility trade-off yarn 2 makes, but not the zero-install (which had been the default for a time). But hearing that Bun is faster, and better ergonomics? And other people mentioning pnpm? That makes want a package manager in depth comparison.
