By your lights, its literally impossible to refer to behaviors that are gender biased without being sexist. It turns out that stereotypes typically have a ring of truth to them. It is absurd to make any mention of them verboten in some misplaced effort to excise sexism from the discourse. We cant improve things if we can't accurately describe them. It's also stupid to insist on unnecessarily verbose descriptions just to avoid charges of sexism, which still wasn't enough for you. Efficient communication is a virtue.

EROI is bullshit. But regardless, renewables score higher on this score than fossil fuels.

> The lack of methodological consistency, however, among these papers has led to a
situation where inappropriate comparisons are being made across technologies. In this paper we
provide both a literature review and harmonization of EROI values to provide accurate comparisons
of EROIs across both thermal fuels and electricity producing technologies. Most importantly, the
authors advocate for the use of point-of-use EROIs rather than point-of-extraction EROIs as the
energy “cost” of the processes to get most thermal fuels from extraction to point of use drastically
lowers their EROI. The main results indicate that PV, wind and hydropower have EROIs at or above
ten while the EROIs for thermal fuels vary significantly, with that for petroleum oil notably below ten.
Honestly, yes. It's a weird duality of "but this is the reality I'm stuck in" and "however there is a collective responsibility for helping fund wars", but it's still functional.

I would find it wrong to say "I bear no responsibility because that's just how things are" if that makes sense.

> How much of this is actually new as far as income vs costs, and how much of this is unwillingness to make sacrifices that older generations did?

Considering that the costs of everything have not only skyrocketed but wages were stagnated for decades (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/08/07/for-most-...) before declining (https://www.axios.com/2023/09/12/real-incomes-fell-last-year...) - the largest decline in real wages in 40 years, and that the standard of living for Americans has also been declining for years, long before the recent massive hike in inflation, I doubt it has much if anything to do with an unwillingness to make sacrifices. In fact, it seems like young adults today are being forced to make sacrifices left and right. In the 1980s young adults had homes, full time employment, cars, health insurance, babies, pension plans, $60,000 less debit from their student loans, and hope for the future.

It's pretty smart for young adults to live somewhat near family because they can get a lot of help and support that way, but the fact that they can't even afford to leave their parent's home is a very bad sign for our economy. When kids move out they pay for a ton of new things like furniture, cars, silverware, irons, vacuum cleaners, towels, streaming services etc. When they're at home there's no need at all to buy a lot of things because their parents already have them.

You took an essay I wrote in which I defined the term HDA specifically to contrast with the term SPA in the context of web development and spun that into an imagined philosophy where HTML is the only hypermedia in the world. You persisted in this after I pointed out that I included HXML in my book on hypermedia, and gave a clear definition of what I consider the defining characteristics of hypermedia & clarified specific examples of other formats that are hypermedia.

You have confused "X is A" with "Only X is A" and then, when large gaps in your understanding of hypermedia have been brought to your attention, you have dismissed them as small details.

Comment on Jetbrains AI-debacle(their AI-assitant, failing to address concerns)
Other democracies do generally have their own checks and balances. They might not be the same set of checks and balances as the US, but it's difficult to say as a whole that they are weaker. It's true that often the division of the executive and legislative branches is rather weak. But on the other hand there is often a stronger division between the judicial and other branches as judges are appointed independently. There are plenty of countries out there with very strong constitutional courts as well.

I'm also not sure I agree that the US system is necessarily less sustainable than those other systems. A lot of European democracies are younger than the US, and some of them are more frequently deadlocked. I think effectiveness and sustainability are orthogonal concepts here (some would say they are diametrically opposed...)
This problem composes of the willingness to take away your customers agency and willingly accepting that they are violating their regulations on pain of being fired(It does not make sense for a freelancer to acquire a company license or when someone works in a "use your own IDE"-environment - would've to read the fine-print on the agreement again TBH). The actively "activating the plugin should it be active"-approach or the nagging for it to be enabled, the enabling of the plugin after update in connection with the lethargy of JB makes might be further highlighting of the fact that their intention with this is to have our work build their product against our consent. Another problematic willingness of this vendor is also that they are willing to ship buggy code(as per their description of events) for a very, very sensitive part of functionality and then not engage with their worried customer-base at all. That itself is problematic in the event that there is some problem that might be exploitable(as happened with Youtrack itself). Also, the upending of discussions on this by closing comments and pretty much not moving from their position.

(For the legal-departments in companies affected(having employees running JB on a non-commercial license because of policy and having ill configured professional licenses): Question here would also be: how much data was already unlawfully/illegally exfiltrated during those incidents as the plugin was running?)

------

I, for one, am not willing to keep this appliance in my house. Not because the functionality is not great but because the vendor has a track-record of shipping buggy code, has shown the willingness to have their customers potentially infringe regulations by taking away their agency to control what runs on their machine, has displayed a carefree attitude of taking its paying customers seriously and has attempted to make its users a commodity in a two-sided market.

-------

You made me look for alternatives. I liked what I saw and thanks to your heinous handling of this matter and your odious way of shipping this functionality I can even live happily without some features(until someone rebuilds them).
It goes beyond that, I think, in that many of us have gone most of our lives believing others used this language metaphorically, and assigning a meaning to these words.

I was about 45 by the point I realized most people to varying degrees actually meant that they saw things when imagining them.

And so to me it's not that there no thought behind it, because I do something when I "imagine" something, just not the same thing. The word means something different to me, and most of the time you wouldn't notice even when it's staring you in the face.

E.g."I imagined her face" has a meaning to me even though I can't literally see a face when imagining it, but I can recall qualities and emotions and sensations of it anyway and to me those things add up to the meaning of that word, because nobody ever thought to assume it needed explaining that it was literal.

Opening that line of inquiry quickly makes it apparent that we assume a whole lot about how similar our inner lives are that just doesn't consistently hold up, but that we don't challenge without digging into precisely how people use various words.
That's not Paul. Wrong /p[a-z]?g/.
This is great! What a lovely read.

Reminds me back of my teenage years mesmerised by software/hardware synths, daws and everything and anything related to audio tech. Hours spent trying to understand different waves, oscillations, LFOs, modulation, AM, FM and so on and so forth. I could go on all day. Great memories.

Anyhow, would be interesting to go down a rabbit hole reading up on the waveform representation for the DX7. Now that I remember, I will go ahead and look for SH-101.

Your landing page at https://remote.storage/ is so good, I love the minimalism. Six lines of code tell me exactly what it does.
You need to distinguish between the market for houses and the market for housing (which includes rentals). Speculative real estate purchases and home buying incentives have a much larger effect on the market for houses vs the housing market. But the housing market is what drives the cost of leaving home.

With zoning and building codes we've just made it a lot more expensive to build housing. Just building codes probably increase the cost of building an apartment by 1-2% per year, and with zoning added in that could lead to 2-3% appreciation above inflation and wages which over 30 years adds up to quite a bit.

I have to disagree w.r.t. UI and non-standard being preferable for a pro app.

Having used Drawing Things regularly for the last few weeks, I still get confused by certain interactions and UI elements, leading to mistakes, and 'lost productivity'. It would greatly benefit from a UX pass, as more standard UX improves expectations of what will happen upon performing an action.

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate that it was released –for free– and that its capabilities are what they are. I'm merely arguing that more cohesive UX and pro functionality are not mutually exclusive.

As an example of a 'pro' app, there's Pixelmator Pro, which is a very Mac-assed app. I was able to pick it and start using it immediately without tutorials as its typical UX is intuitive (to me, as a macOS user), even when it came to more complicated operations.

Some more examples that I can think of off the top of my head: Proxyman, TablePlus, Kaleidoscope, Tower. The only exception to my observation, based on tools in my daily arsenal: VSCode. Non-standard UX, yet still intuitive.

Everything else that's non-standard feels like I'm battling with the UI daily, even after years of use: Android Studio, Slack, and most of the complicated Electron apps.

On the topic of compatibility of old games, it's worth noting that Linux's wine is also very good when it comes to running old Windows software and games. In a retro gaming group I frequent, we sometimes find that our chosen old Windows game-of-the-month offers a better default experience under wine. Not to suggest that one or other platform is superior overall in that respect, but it's sufficiently close that either is capable of nudging a nose in front at least some of the time.

I've been running GNU/Linux only, no Windows, since 2012, and while there are one or two games in my library that don't work, I have nothing to complain about. Dragon's Dogma just works, Fallout New Vegas only needed DX9, Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin just works, Neverwinter Nights 2, X3: Albion Prelude, Baldur's Gate EE, BG2EE, Starbound, Devil May Cry 3, Oni, Homeworld,... so many games either just work or require clicking 4 times in Protontricks.

GNU/Linux has come far since I first started, my Radeon HD7770 first needed the proprietary garbage driver to run, which was a pain; but ever since it got supported in AMDGPU it was smooth sailing. I have an R7 card now and it also just works under AMDGPU. Meanwhile my roommate running Windows 11 had a bunch of pictures in her 'My Pictures' directory, got a message from MS saying 'oh, your OneDrive is nearly full', and when I removed the files from her OD, the bastards had the gall to remove them from her PC. Like, she has a 1TB SSD, why would you try to sync files on it to a 5GB cloud storage? And then she naively said 'oh, maybe I should just pay to get more storage', and I flipped my lid.

So yeah, 'a couple of games don't really work' is not a very convincing argument compared to the anti-user hostility MS exhibits in my opinion. But then, I could be wrong.

Twenty years ago the Case-Shiller index was 140. Today it's 312.[1] The index tracks individual home sales over time -- that is a single home sold repeatedly. I interpret that to mean someone purchasing a home today must have roughly twice the resources to purchase the same home as someone in the past. Which leads me to conclude it's harder to own a home today than in the past all else being equal.

What's your interpretation?

In my area, renting a room in a shared house is less expensive than renting an apartment. Most young adults I speak to that live independently have such an arrangement.

Mechanization of labor has destroyed the economies of small towns. My wife's father is a farmer, and the small town she grew up in shrinks every year as young people leave. The families that remain buy up all the available land and are able to farm it all. Their only limitation is availability of land. Those without land may eek out a meager existence dressing hair or something, but in general it's not necessary for humans to do anything.

The costs of housing prevent people from moving to other cities. I could earn double my current salary by moving to California, but that wouldn't cover the cost of living differential. This actually reduces net economic output, since I and many others are not working at places where our output would be highest. Please read the article "The housing theory of everything" by Bowman, Myers, and Southwood.

The unfortunate reality is that income is much lower now than when you were young. Rent seeking behavior has become the path to wealth, and rent seeking reduces net economic output. You should listen to Peter Turchin's discussion of wealth inequality and the wealth pump, it's very enlightening.

It depends on tool. If this is some generic utiliy that interacts streams, it most probably should not be interactive.

Not parent commenter, and no offense intended, but some things one should be able to mentally walk through on your own without someone feeding you a link. In this particular case, for example, there’s an upper bound on how late in life a couple can conceive. Take it from there.
This problem can be solved pretty soon though; given a good enough LLM, and perhaps for power users a configurable set of integrations, you should be able to make any language request, translate it into verbs, and ask for an explanation if you get confusing results. With in-context learning perhaps you can even get to the holy grail of “when I ask for X, please always apply interpretation Y” for personalization.

I think the broader context here is that Google is downsizing the current Assistant team in preparation for an LLM-based replacement, perhaps once Gemini has rolled out.
>How much of this is actually new as far as income vs costs, and how much of this is unwillingness to make sacrifices that older generations did?

Joking right ? Where I live, you cannot get a 1 bedroom apartment for less than $2000. When I moved out on my own, one year's rent was 10 to 15% of my yearly salary, and that was a 2 bedroom. In today's dollars, my salary was 50,000. I could have easily bought a single family house at the time.

Based upon those numbers, my rent would now be a bit over 50% of my salary for a 1 bedroom. Never mind even thinking about buying a house if you are young.

Also Medical Insurance in the US comes into play. Back then, my insurance contribution was almost nothing. Now it would be around 10% of my salary, if I even was allows to get Medical.
I don't think Decentralized has a business model with a profit mode.

If you chart Case-Shiller housing price index vs median income over time[1] you can start to see that housing as a proportion of income has increased. Versus the 1960s and 70s, housing costs today are twice the proportion of income they used to be.

In other words, all other things being equal, someone today is being asked to sacrifice twice as much with respect to housing.

If the goal is to get young people into houses, that line needs to go down substantially. That's much easier said than done when many people's wealth depends on that line being high.
