As someone with a partner who just likes to buy games and play the Steam Deck is definitely competition for the switch. She does realize that it is a full computer now because I exist but she has never actually entered "desktop mode" herself. She would have been perfectly happy just living in the Steam interface. Already it has a bunch of benefits:

1. Lots of games were sitting available and she just picked up and played them. She already owned them but didn't play much because she plays "on the go" more than at home.

2. Lots of games release earlier for PC than Switch (and she ended up buying many games multiple times to start playing when friends were but then again to play on the go).

3. Lots of Switch games lack cross-play so she would switch to PC for playing with friends.

4. For some games she does prefer to play on her desktop so save game syncing is really nice.

5. More games are available for PC than Switch.

6. Having a web browser handy is convenient, even if rarely used.

Then I messed around with desktop mode to make some non-Steam apps and games available which is another nice plus. But even without this she prefers the Steam Deck over the Switch.

I think there are still lots of people who would prefer the Switch, especially for the first-party exclusive titles. But I don't think you should just dismiss the Steam Deck. It may still be a bit niche but people are definitely caring about it. Even those who just want to play games.
There's more to unpack about welfare being "paying not to work" - 82 year olds, absence of employment in mining towns - but you've put the argument for small government well. You made me imagine a monkey driving a bulldozer.

Keynes' error was to pretend that the monkey is a qualified operator who follows the drawings. But the more democratic a nation becomes, the more its leadership resembles a cork bobbing on the tide. Furthermore, economics does not have perfect insight, so even a benevolent dictator will certainly fuck it up if she meddles.

Then, in a recession, you can take action to alleviate the pain somewhat, but you will inevitably just store up future pain for yourself. You could mitigate that future pain once the crisis has passed, but you won't, because the mitigation will alienate the voters. The pretence that you'll accept even a tiny amount of pain in the good times is the self-deception of an addict.

How am I doing?

This then reduces to the trolley problem. Where the one person on the side track is only presumed to be there, but might actually be further down the main track, and might get rescued anyway.

Here's my problem with von Mises. The cause of 2008 was a period of deregulation, basically Jamie Dimon going "trust me, bro" and kicking his lips. It's not an economic cause, it's a political one; but if we examine economists' contribution to the issue, we see decades of free-market-fundamentalism which, I put it to you, created massive overconfidence. The neolibs got exactly what they wanted and created a peculiarly neolib crisis. So the Austrian school is just as fingers-in-ears deaf to political folly as Keynes.
Thanks for this link - I'm amazed to see it even has an approximation for my city based on buildings (Detroit.)

This is really useful tool for photography. On Android, I also use Sun Surveyor to determine when the sun is hitting the right side of a building, but it doesn't show the shadows cast by other buildings!
I've only been using Bluetooth headphones with Android and Linux for about a year, but I don't remember having anything to complain about.
this has nothing to do with 1st amendment rights.
It's not. I use bluetooth headphones, use it to listen to music in the car, and use it for several of my mice. I do not suffer disconnects, choppy audio, or much else.

Interesting that you complain about windows. I use the headphones almost exclusively with Win10 computers. You may find a well-reviewed (I've had good luck with TP-Link USB adapters) bluetooth adapter connected to your Windows PC and disabling whatever crappy builtin it has might do wonders for you. Worst case you're out $12.

Most of my issues are when pairing, and even that is not frequent, and can almost always be solved by having the computer/phone "forget" the peripheral and then turning the peripheral device off and back on. Absolute worst case I'll reboot both and then it's always fine.

However, I will say that all of my devices I use were manufactured in the last two to three years, so that may help.
The thing is... not everything needs the window url to be updated. Either because the URL is the same, or because you're pulling content that shouldn't/can't/won't be accessible with a direct URL.

For example:

- Blog: You add a comment to a blog post. The comment appears without reloading, and you don't need a new URL (because it's the same blog post)
- Menu navigation: You load menu items and/or children via htmx. That probably doesn't need a new URL.
- Ecommerce: You add/remove/modify products to/from your cart. The URL for the cart is still the same.

> You'd expect maybe more shoplifting in a college town, lots of poor students under strain and so on. Still the place is thriving.

Most data on the issue of shoplifting in the industry show that the people who shoplift are not ones doing it out of necessity (e.g. they're poor and can't afford those items), most shoplifting is done out of intention and not necessity. This includes categories like underaged people stealing items that are age-restricted, or people stealing items that cause shame to purchase (like condoms, pregnancy tests, et al), as well as the now commonplace problem of shoplifting gangs in the US who steal en masse to list items via Amazon Marketplace, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and other online markets. People who are productive adults in society very very rarely shoplift, and in the cases that they do it because of mental issues, like kleptomania.
I actually love bluetooth, because I think it's a miracle it functions at all across so many devices. In general, I can make sound happen on a thing, and that's cool.

Having said that, this list is missing my biggest gripe: so many of the implementation decisions are left up to the devices that you get an entirely different experience from player to player, speaker to speaker. Will it start playing on reconnect? Will it reconnect on its own but not switch source so my audiobook plays in silence for an hour drive?

I have to tediously reconnect my Ford, but if I get within 100 yards of my running Toyota, it will preempt nearly anything else it's doing to become the eavesdropping speaker for my phone call.
I did read through the article, I didn't read through _all_ of the article.

There's a reason I said "overall premise". Perhaps "overarching premise" would have been better, but the point still stands.

At some point it's the students responsibility to learn, it's the professors responsibility to offer the opportunity, not to offer guarantees.

If a professor is not keeping office hours or denigrating students in any manner, that's something that needs to be taken up with the administration.
The worst example of that I know of is Kohl's - everything there is insanely overpriced, but there is almost always a combination of sales, coupons, and sacrificial goats that gets you to normal or below normal pricing.

JC Penny famously tried to get out of that and it almost killed them: https://www.forbes.com/sites/panosmourdoukoutas/2017/02/24/a...

Walmart (and Costco, and Trader Joe's, and a few others) are so large that instead of making you dance around with coupons and such, they just tell the company to give them a discount and pass it on to the customer. An item at another store that needs a store app, coupon, etc, will just be dropped the same price at Walmart I've noticed.

(I hate the Kohl's style, as even when I stack coupons and get to 75% off on clearance, I still feel I missed something and got cheated. But apparently lots of shoppers really love that kind of "bargain hunt".)
> The model isn't an "intelligence" because it's not making a choice about which data you train on and be "inspired by", as people here say.

This is a very poor definition of intelligence and is not convincing of deserving training data
Not to put to down the author, just trying to understand it better - But the tasks described in the link seem a bit trivial. I can already write a Asciidoc file, tag it, and add links to other .adoc files. Are tools like Obsidian/Logseq just adding a layer of tools on top of that to search and sort files based on tags/dates/etc.?

I keep plenty of notes in asciidoc and orgmode files, so I'm genuinely curious to hear from someone with experience. I've tried running Logseq and didn't really get what I was supposed to do...
... one of my favorite prop bets is to bet that

sort X | gzip -9 > sorted.gz

will make a smaller file than

gzip -9 X > not-sorted.gz

for any text file, particularly something like a CSV. Much like lowercasing, it works almost every time.
Movies amortize their cost over a much, much larger audience than books do. A book that sells a 100,000 copies is a fairly successful book. A movie that sold 100,000 tickets is a complete flop.

It's super annoying. We'll often have groceries for the next few days, which includes a lot of baby food. So yeah, they're scanning like 40 items, and we have to repack the bag to not squash produce/bread and such.

Another related problem is that you physically can't leave the store unless you buy something and get a receipt to scan. You have to tailgate someone with a receipt, or hop the turnstyle, etc. Hope you're not in a wheelchair and change your mind / the store's out of what you were looking for!

That's more likely from dopamine being fried from screens and instant gratification than a statement about the quality of books.

I don’t have a Mac so I couldn’t access my Notes natively, or export it to use elsewhere.

Curiosity is secondary to learning objectives such as being able to get a job, or simply getting a good grade. That would require restructuring our educational system and by extension our whole society. That's a tall order.
I have seen and heard countless “range anxiety” stories in commercial and nonprofit media in the US, including many about how the issue specifically affects apartment-dwellers.
Being in the 2.4GHz band, it's going to be a crapshoot depending on where you are. If you are in a dense office or apartment building with a million Wifi access points you're going to have a bad time. A standalone house with modern APs on higher frequency bands? Probably a great experience.

I think he could be arguing that universities should stop trying to be research universities using the scientific method, because they've shown that they can't actually do it, and recategorize themselves as something different. But of course no university would be able to make money by doing that, because it would destroy their branding.

What's so wrong with u-boot? Most of the trouble people have with it is "thanks" to chipset vendors who forked their version somewhere 10-ish years ago and completely mutilated it instead of putting in the effort to get their stuff upstreamed.

The only major thing it can't boot to my knowledge is Windows, but it might be doable if you chain-load Grub.
Indy games, like all third-party games, go to the console that has the users. That's why it's important for a system to hit critical mass of good games to attract users and get a flywheel started. IMO that's why it's great for Nintendo to only have a single system. Much easier to hit critical mass of exclusive games if they don't have to make games for a handheld and a home console. The Wii also had decent support of indie games despite it being so different from other systems because it sold like hot cakes
Having moved from .net to java recently, I have to say I miss the .net IoC ecosystem; things are simple and to the point, and you use the tools however best fits your use cases. In Java-land everything is Guice, which is more of a "framework"; it requires a lot more boilerplate and you have to design around it, and gets in your way any time you want to do anything outside of its golden path.
So how low can you go? I'm running PiHole on some small SMBs with 1GB RAM.
You can at least partially mitigate this by simply blocking the major DNS-over-https endpoints. There aren't that many. However, in my experience this really pisses off some devices e.g. Google/Nest Home speakers even if you have regular DNS working fine. You also of course won't catch the really nefarious devices phoning home over a custom non-public endpoint. It can be interesting just for logging purposes as well, that's what I do.

> But honestly, torn towards htmx but undecided.

We are in the middle of migrating from our monster react application into server rendered pages (with jinja2). The velocity at which we are able to ship and the reduction of complexity has been great so far.

Managing client side state for simple things like (is the dropdown open/closed), listening to keyboard events and such can be done with something like alpine-js [1] without all the baggage that something like react brings.

It appears this is already the trend with JS frameworks too - with server side rendering being the new norm.

There's a paid (and lite version) available for iOS - I just installed it yesterday as it happens! It's called Mobius Sync.
That's often true, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule, because we also have to look at the capabilities of the two combatants. It's why you would probably/hopefully assist the underdog who was being bullied.

We're talking about the wealthiest company in the world who can obviously afford to run out the clock on the court system and bury an opponent with legal fees. There's a monster difference of offensive capabilities, even if we realize that Epic is a sizeable company; in this case, Epic is really standing in for every other tiny company or one-man shop in the App Store, and we should thank them for doing that.
I wouldn't say racism is the problem, but it is one of the problems. It can be the case that white people are disadvantaged by systemically racist policies originally intended to target black people. That urban planning sometimes had an explicitly racist element in its execution, such as American transportation infrastructure being laid out in such a way as to disenfranchise black communities[0], is a simple but unfortunate historical fact. The ripple effects of racism baked that deeply into infrastructure don't just go away when society becomes desegregated.

There is a consistant standard from Molly and others who have left (like Casey Newton) It has to do with social tools.

I didn't like my AirPods Pro because it was never clear to what device they were going to connect to. Sometimes they'd connect to my Apple Watch when something happened on the watch, and sometimes they'd stay connected to my iPhone while the Apple Watch used its speakers.

These days I have Sony earbuds and they stay connected only to my iPhone.
One thing I see lacking with HTMX is that, eventually, someone will want to package and distribute a third party component. You say "but it's meant for small things not requiring much scripting" and I say "I don't believe you - once it's in it will grow indefinitely".

This is definitely possible, but unless you are using WASM or something you would have component libraries specifically built for a backend language or framework which doesn't leave us much better off.

To be fair, I have not seen this stated as a goal or concern of HTMX anywhere. But, it's a concern of mine - I'm not going to build all my components from scratch all the time and this kills HTMX for me.

I guess what this would look like is an encapsulated backend module with internal templating and properties that allow controlling certain behaviours or routes. Definitely doable, not thought out at all.

Maybe universities would benefit from a formal programing lab discipline, like they have for physics and chemistry. One where you document what you are going to do, go into the lab and do it, and document what you concluded from it.

And yeah, finding bugs on code that was already there when you came can be an exercise.
This is very true. The whiteboard portions of the practical programming classes were among the most boring when I was going through school but actually trying to solve a problem myself was quite enjoyable and much better for learning. If I remember right we had a brief introduction to debuggers as a concept for better debugging but we were largely left to our own devices to figure out the features because everyone would need different things from it at different times.
> Does Working from Home Boost Productivity Growth?

Does it have to?

Remote work is great because it reduces carbon emissions, reduces noise pollution, reduces traffic, increases residential rent revenues, increases work satisfaction, increases hobby engagement, improves child rearing, and generally gives people their time back.

If we can get all that and maintain the same productivity, working from home feels very worth it.
More specifically, Obsidian shows me, at this moment, 1382 plugins available from the app itself. Some more are probably not available there. And an insanely large amount of them also seems to be already broken, abandoned or having a rather poor quality or just duplicating each other's features with a slight twist in flavor.

I guess, it's now big enough, that having some pre-selection of high quality-plugins accessible from within the app, would make sense.
This applies equally to random libraries and even developers. If you hire a contractor and don't check their work, you're leaving yourself similarly vulnerable.

LLMs are unverifiable by construction. There is no spec, they have no concept of "correct." Check their work.
i guess they want to teach you generic skills you can use everywhere.
then you select a few langages, write programs with those and learn the debugging tools that come with each (considering those debuggers as tools specific to each langage - implementation details) ?

This is delightful and I can't wait to try it out. Right now, the libgit2 project (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2) has a custom HTTP git server wrapper that will throttle the responses down to a very slow rate. It's fun watching a `git clone` running over 2400 baud modem speeds, but it's actually been incredibly helpful for testing timeouts, odd buffering problems, and other things that crop up in weird network environments.

I'd love to jettison our hacky custom code and use something off-the-shelf instead.

Any of the 8 billion people, who are not Alice and Bob, passing by... who, largely, don't even care about the concept of 'epistemic frameworks' in the first place.

Writing an explanation that only is convincing if the reader already believes in 'Bayesian Math' in the first place seems redundant, hence me pointing it out.
A surprising number of responses here seem to be arguing that universities aren't intended to educate, they are intended to provide a series of tests or challenges to prove an education.

I agree with Jake Seliger, I think universities would be more useful if they were trying to optimize for education.
