Not at all contradicted by evidence in this thread. Look at the linked musicians videos in this thread, the strangers they are playing for are mostly (not entirely) 20, +/- 5 years. Like video games are mostly played by young people, even though they are popular with many age groups. Most adults who have work and families and homes and chores and hobbies don't have the time for internet hangouts which sink a lot of time for a low reward, and if they do they're likely to spend their time and money on things like NetFlix because they can afford content, compared to younger people who can't afford much. Lots of technical people hang on IRC/Slack/StackOverflow/HN/Reddit/Discord during work hours in a way they wouldn't hang on Omegle or Chatroulette during work hours - because text is easy and non-realtime, wheras Omegle requires the people hanging out on it to pay full attention if they're going to make good contacts.

No the mall isn't a good analogy, it has lights, mall cops, CCTV cameras, crowds of people wandering around, it's a well known public place and it's generally not known as a place to approach strangers unless you're selling something. Omegle happened one-to-one, private, and encouraged chatting directly to strangers.

There is a concept, I forget the name of it (not the bystander effect) where if you are in a strange place in public and need help then you can call out to the bystanders for help, or you can point to one specific bystander and ask for help. Say you are a tipsy woman lost her bag, and you call out to anyone for help then the self-interested predator can step forwards, but if you point to one person and ask them to call you a cab then you are unlikely to randomly pick the self-interested predator. So even though most people who try to help a stranger in need are good people, calling out to the void leaves a big opportunity for any bad people to take advantage of. Both can be true - that most people are good and that one arrangement leaves more room for any predators who are present than another arrangement does. Omegle had a reputation for being risqué - like DickRoulette (ChatRoulette), so that means people wouldn't tend to use it in a library, or on a family PC in the living room with other people around.

So people going on Omegle would be more likely younger because they have more free time and less money to spend on things and less ability / money to go out instead, are more likely to go on behind closed doors to avoid people seeing anything rude on their screens, then they'd get matched with a stranger, encouraged to chat with the stranger, and of course the reasonable adults matched with a young child who shouldn't be there would move on, leaving the effect above and the predators room be the ones who pretended to be friendly, and none of the protections of a crowd at a mall - well-meaning strangers ("it takes a village") could see something odd happening and interrupt or check-in.

It's not that everyone on the site was in that situation, it's that the site design and social status left that to happen way way more often than a mall or a shop bench would.
What learning resources and applications did you use?
Coolest thing I learned is to clone trees.
Roughest thing I learned is that most people who talk about climate, don't really want to plant trees. They just want to talk about it.
Not falling for that again.
Those batteries are glued in to their own rigid case, which makes swapping them out of the laptop trivial but also didn't leave much room for expansion inside the battery pack, and the battery pack was pretty thick compared to any recent Apple laptop.

Replacing the cells inside one of those packs would have been similarly difficult to ungluing and replacing the batteries in more recent Apple laptops, but there was a lot less reason to rebuild those battery packs.

The idea that knowledge didn't disappear during the "dark ages" is blatantly wrong. Entire swaths of knowledge disappeared simply because the Christian monks only preserved matter favorable to Christianity.

If the Roman (pagan) material dared to suggest something different than accepted church teaching, it wasn't copied or preserved.

Hell, that's why the capture of libraries in Spain in the 15th century was still important to the renaissance. Muslim scholars preserved a bunch of Greek and Roman material that had COMPLETELY disappeared during the European dark ages.
I'm guessing these family farms don't count as parts of the States they're parts of for the purposes of this article.

Which makes it wildly misleading and propagandistic. Those families are selling the products to someone who is paying them. Do those purchasers count as users of this water also?

I can understand complaints that they have anticompetitive ancient water rights that should be renegotiated, that the river is being over depleted and their use of it is a heavy contributor, but to single them out as 1) not part of the states, 2) not doing it on behalf of other people for a paycheck, that's disingenuous.

Cool idea!

Have you ever designed a library? If not, then my recommendation would be to start with it, for example in Typescript if you are familiar with it. I.e. build a set of functions that allow you to create the datastructure (AST) above. That is the most important part, encoding it into json or something like that is very easy afterwards.

If you feel comfortable with your result, then you can think about turning it into a DSL. Reasons to do so include mostly syntactical concerns (since you don't want designers to learn typescript, even if it's a subset). You will have to do a lot of the things that the host-language otherwise does for you though, including syntax-highlighting, type-checking and so on.
> Children actually were not allowed to use the site.

Children 13+ were formally allowed to use the site with parental permission until after the lawsuit at issue was filed, but even that restriction was just, I think, a pro-forma fine print footer notice to provide CYA against COPPA requirements on sites that were directed at kids under 13.

The "TVC issue" is the flip side of Google etc culture and perks. When a company takes great care of its people, contractors seem unfortunate in contrast (since they are someone else's employees, there's no expectation of long-term investment from either side, etc.)

On the reverse of that is a company that's mediocre to work for. The contractors might seem like the lucky ones in that scenario (hence, resentful language like "highly paid contractor" etc.) In fact, the same TVC might be the "highly paid contractor" at the same pay and treatment somewhere else.

Other posters already explained why it's like this - mainly because they are employees of another company, with a much lower barrier to hiring (and firing), a different liability profile, etc.

I missed the old Mac calculator desk accessory so much I wrote a new version of it for current Macs (you can buy it if you want at CalculatorDA.com but I wrote it for my own nostalgia purposes and use it every day).
Like the version Chris Espinosa handed to Steve Jobs it has lots of options for changing the look, but they are all modern choices, like jaggy versus anti-aliased, modern traffic light window controls vs old school close box, etc.

They also host the game download and all its updates allowing buyers to (re)download whenever they want.

30% is the standard retail cut if I’m right. So if you sell your game at Walmart, they take 30% too.

Edit: There is actually a way to bypass Steam’s cut - provide by Valve strangely enough - if I’m right. As developer you can mint as many API keys for your games as you like and sell those through other means. Your customers will still download and play through Steam but Steam gets nothing - i.e. you use their infrastructure for free; of course they would get their cut from copies sold via their store.

I’m not a gamer; I’ve almost never played PC games; I’m really only a Switch gamer and that’s it.

I can hear the cry of a thousand gamers if I tell them that I’ve crossed ~85 hours, longer than any other game so far, playing Super Mario 3D All Stars. The package the internet loves to hate. Oh well. :)

Strokes suck to say the least. All the best wishes to someone so kind and smart, I’m glad it sounds like it was only minor.

Something I really wish I knew immediately after my mom had a stroke is that the recovery that often happens over the days and weeks following a stroke as the brain adapts to its new normal is nothing short of amazing. My mom was nearly blind, unable to control her eyes, and mostly unable to speak. It was very, very bad, and we both thought her life was effectively over though neither of us said that to each other. A couple weeks later she walked out of the hospital and today she has almost no lasting effects.

The only treatment she ended up receiving was time and monitoring because she got to the hospital so late (it happened on an island, hours from a hospital.) That’s not to undermine the importance of urgent treatment obviously. She was very fortunate.
Any latency in any system high enough to interrupt your thought process hurts. Unfortunately it's one of those hard to market things that people don't know they want, so it's (rightfully?) never prioritised.

I wish we had better consumers.

To put it into networking terms, the brain-finger output is a leaky bucket. The brain fills the buffer, and the fingers commit at some interval. The buffer is fairly small, and overflows are simply forgotten. The buffer has both time-based and size-based eviction policies. The faster you can type, the less you might forget.

Yes, if they aren't, you are going to have more liability problems, just like if you operate a theme park with inadequate maintenance staff to prevent the rides from flying apart and killing guests.
I don't think that's a universal thing. I would rather make 10X working for someone who makes 10X (eg, very common situation in finance) vs making 1X sitting next to someone who also makes 1X (eg, DMV)

I get what you are talking about, but it's your choice to obsess more about what the other guy's getting rather than what you are.
No, it isn't all-or-nothing. iOS does not leak messages to cars. Just by using iOS doesnt mean Toyota, Subaru, Chrysler, etc suddenly have access to your messages. Using iOS with carplay only is strictly better than using iOS and sharing your messages with the car.

Precisely. Dyeing your armor black helps too.
I completely agree with this. I've been working on my own 30 day challenge to boost my typing speed, and the reason is similar to what's stated in this article: it's about latency, it's not the seconds saved.

It's mentioned in the article, but I mostly think of it as: the faster one types, the shorter the iteration time. When you can type roughly as fast as you'd normally speak, it's a totally different experience than t-y-p-i-n-g each word of a sentence.
I listened to the first episode and it seemed to have what I call "Ted radio hour syndrome": an excess of quick cut audio, sound effects, and drawn out narration that had me, an enthusiast of manned spaceflight, bored.

Maybe it was like season 1 of a TV show where you gotta give it a few shots.

The book "A Man on the Moon" was quite well written though, and some day I may read "failure is not an option".

> It’s difficult to type and think at the same time, so any time spent writing is a pause in thoughts, which can derail the flow.

I'm a competitive typist. I'm also a programmer. The main positive that I see is that typing no longer requires thought. I think of the code I want to write and it's transcripted onto the computer.

I would say that it's more advantageous to type _accurately_ than quickly. Typing competitions generally require 100% accuracy, which gives me a great amount of belief that what I'm typing is correct, without having to look at it / check it over and get side tracked from the code itself.
Actually, I disagree.

The _by far_ easiest way is to use the host language itself.

Using _any_ other language, e.g. yaml, forces you to do a lot of things that you get for free when using the host language, including syntax, type-checking/linting, build-system if you need one and especially all the tooling that comes with it for free (e.g. autocomplete in IDEs).

In fact, there is almost no benefit at all of using yaml _for DSLs_.

(And yes, there is widely-available syntaxhighlighting for yaml and others, but that doesn't over anything specific for the DSL, or otherwise you will have to customize it)
A related big C myth that I believed for far too long relates to structs / bitfields and how they are NOT required to be packed as tightly as possible by the spec.

Worse, offhand, I don't know of any portable / standard way to achieve that. Only compiler specific extensions. (I can hope it might be portable to E.G. clang) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11770451/what-is-the-mea... -- struct __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)))

Sadly the practicing side and the regulatory side are different enough that I basically don't have much insight into why my views are wrong. (I mean, presumably if my views were right, some enterprising lawyer would have applied the theory already.) E.g., if there is legislation that is acting as a barrier, we could get our representatives to change it. If these folks remain boarded and are practicing outside of the norms and scope, then we could get our medical licensing boards to take action as well.
I guessed that this would be arguing something similar to the "tests should be very fast" argument. There, the point is that anything that causes you to context shift is bad. The feedback loop of code/test/break/fix is everything.

But I think after reading that the argument was more akin to webpage load times. Sure, a few extra seconds isn't measurably a lot, but there's a feeling of responsiveness that matters to our psyche, even if according to wall time it's not a big deal. This I find more plausible. I've seen code. I know how damn lazy we can be. People seem to be willing to spend hours of pain to avoid writing tiny helper structs, or writing helper methods, or giving functions/variables names with multiple words.

Still, 80 wpm seems like a lot off hand. That's coming up on regular speaking speed. I wonder if I could test the difference on myself to see if it bothered me; maybe add something that slows my typing rate to 80?

If you have a Steam Controller you can do this, as long as you use the USB dongle and not Bluetooth to connect. I have the official dock with the dongle plugged into that, and the Deck wakes up with the controller just fine.

Parents could generally do a better job helping their children learn about consent and having their boundaries respected from birth as a means to help protect them. This is something most people seem to think is not important and many people simply don't do.

It's common for adults to simply make a lot of decisions for kids in a way that is "convenient" for the adult and they seem to not notice this has significant psychological consequences which impact sexual situations and cause other issues.

But I wouldn't pin this strictly on parenting. I think society has broader issues than just parenting which foster issues of this sort.

// Buying something, rewriting it, and abandoning it, is just squandering money.

I don't see it that way at all. Everything we do with business carries risk. It's really all experimental. Nothing is a sure thing. When you acquire something, you obviously incur the risk of that thing not scaling as well as you think, or over-estimate the fit into your org. You obviously want to make good decisions when you can, but there's a limit to how perfect you can be.

People are familiar with the VC model of betting on a small percentage of runaway hits. This might be similar.

So you can look at each acquisition in isolation and say "dumb" but you have to respect the machine that this is a part of.
I mean, maybe? The absolute largest obstacle any of these examples will have to overcome, though, is all of the amazing stuff that was done in the past. And all of the amazing things that are done today with long feedback loops.

Like, I get it. This seems to be a low hanging fruit that you should consider. But it seems somewhat likely that you will draw the line below stenography. We don't even teach shorthand to people anymore, and that would fall into all of these arguments, as well.
It seems like Steam is just that good for 30% then, can't say I'd call Valve evil for that.
Honestly, it sounds like you should cut and run. Maybe not now, but after the holidays. You're in the middle of poor management and worse sounding subordinates.
With far more people doing remote work now than pre-2020, IM is another way in which typing speed is very important for productivity, and this likely has a teamwide effect too --- if most of your team can type nearly at the speed of thought, then everyone waiting for the slowest member to share his thoughts on some discussion gets irritating rather quickly.

Yes, I know there are audio calls, but with IM it's much easier to be doing more than one thing at once, and talking into each other isn't a problem.
It's a social network. Tumblr serves a lot of traffic, and has a lot of data. The product data alone is over 1 trillion rows in relational databases by my estimation (former early eng there), and that's not accounting for replication / high availability.

1000 servers actually sounds surprisingly small. It was a fair bit higher than that a decade ago, and that was on bare metal then, vs (afaik) cloud VMs now. Then again, their traffic is a lot lower now, but still nothing to sneeze at.
