There wasn't a phase change and later works went downhill starting with Baroque.

I only read the abstract and very briefly skimmed the article, but...

So it claims that it doesn't require bipartisan agreement to reach 'optimality'. Fine, I won't argue that point as I haven't looked that deeply into it.

But it still requires the parties to agree to adopt this Define-Combine procedure in the first place! And why would they do that? They're not, when the rubber hits the road, interested in "optimality" (however you define it), but power. Power at the expense of the other party, to be precise.
Several rate cuts are expected this year. Based on Jerome Powell's speech yesterday, March cuts are unlikely, today's data would confirm that. Rate cuts likely beginning over summer depending on the data over the next few months.

Will home prices ever come down without additional housing supply? If salaries are doubled, rent will also double because that much people will pay as they must live somewhere. Housing is essential; if supply is less than demand, no fiscal policy can help.

If the job is going unfilled, it isn't paying enough (either for conditions or to meet worker needs at some level), simple as that. There is a market clearing price, and unemployment is not at 0.

I had cell phones from sometime in the probably late 90s but they were only used for specific purposes like if I were meeting up with someone and I wanted them to be able to reach me. I didn't really start using cell phones until I got a Treo in 2006 and then an iPhone maybe a few years later.

I had no idea Zoom was so large?

I know this is a tired trope, but when you do look at revenue per employee, headcount grows, but the return on revenue does not.

https://fourweekmba.com/zoom-revenue-per-employee/

I think we have some soul searching as an industry. I don't think anyone is blameless. It's easy to say that software development at large, on average, quality has gone down. Or the average employee is less effective. It's easy to blame employees, or remote work, or somesuch but I think its deeper than that.

I think a lot of engineering culture is rotten. Companies themselves have low expectations on quality and delivery. Management layers have gotten thick and calcified. Engineers are resigned to low expectations while also churning out results for this quarter, rather than longer-term objectives and growth.

A lot of executives are disconnected from their employees. They want RTO, etc. But they have no empathy for how disruptive this is. They themselves have resigned to just being "yet another company" with nothing special other than the next quarter, the next quarter, the next quarter. And employees see this and decide to just punch a clock and not get too invested.

We / these companies used to dream big and deliver bigger. Now its something of a cultural race to the bottom, and we all share some blame here.
To me Go seems like almost a copycat of Oberon with channels added. But I neither used Oberon nor Go so that’s more of a spec-reading impression. What would you say having used both?
Yes, and those are considered weaker democracies than where the separations of power are wider and stronger. It can also be observed over time, and the UK is definitely on a slide in the authoritarian direction, not necessarily unstoppable, but definite.

In the same vein, you can also say that we don't really "invent" anything. We only discover how to put things together that already exist in the universe. For example, all of the raw elements needed to construct a computer have existed for a long time. As humans, we just figured out how to put them together to assemble a computer. So does that mean the "blueprint" for a computer always existed?

Cool concept, sort of like a stack overflow incentivised by money rather than rep (points).

I.e. Someone asks a question by purchasing tickets with some experts.

The expert that best answers the question gets the (ethereum) bounty.

Tickets with experts become more expensive the greater the demand for that expert.

The Republican House just decided it was all a political game and not a crisis anymore. They've moved onto various impeachment debates rather than finalizing the border deal.

The border is basically a Venezuelan crisis. The bulk this year are former Venezuelans looking for a new home. I'm not quite sure what we are supposed to do with them either... but I know that the policy of stabilizing South American states with our influence is very much frowned upon. So its just a slow-walking disaster.

As one of the largest South American countries is collapsing before our eyes, politicians ignore the cause or root of the problem, but instead just make election-year rhetoric to drum up support.

Real talk: if people want to stop the migrant wave, the first line of defense is *MEXICO's SOUTHERN BORDER*, not the American border. Even during the Trump years, the bulk of Migrants back then were Guatemala and other countries south-of-Mexico.

All countries have strict regulations on radio waves, whether that's sending or receiving. The UK for example requires a license for base stations that stipulates things like geographical boundaries, etc.

You can't freely blast radio waves into a country without falling subject to its varying regulations, but the regulations for "pre Starlink" satellite broadband/phones/etc are fairly well established.

The move to USB C as a generic DC power standard is fantastic, at least as a consumer. I'm 100% on the USB C bandwagon. Even my coffee scale and room temperature gauge charge through USB C. Going from the days of eight different poorly designed AC->DC adapters with barrel jacks, this is heaven.

USB PD has it's quirks, that's definitely true, but I'll take it over the alternatives any day if I can use it on all my devices.

Anecdotal / from memory, they did a study (at least) once where people didn't have artificial light (not sure if they had candles or nothing at all), and found that people naturally went to sleep when it went dark - not much else to do - but also woke up after a few hours.

But I'm not entirely sure; how much can you do awake if it's dark?

But then, it's rare for it to be truly dark, with moonlight and the like.

This is quite a poor take.

Punching trees and grabbing rocks is what lets games feel open. Games of yore were all about checkpoints. A story on rails. Fetch quests follow, but punching trees and grabbing rocks are a sort of procedural, emergent fetch quest that takes relatively very little developer time. Not to mention nearly infinite replayability in many cases. In some genres, like RTS, resource collection becomes a strategic pillar, open for experimentation and optimization. Isn't that just punching trees and grabbing rocks?

Compare the rise of games like Minecraft of Cookie Clicker. They both have emergent gameplay loops that involve rote resource collection.

Palworld is sort of the confluence of these genres where the goal is to automate resource collection to a large extent. It clearly works.

You can be done with punching trees and grabbing rocks but it's here to stay in one form or another. It's an essential component in most (but not all!) games, and for perfectly good reasons.

Enjoy a balanced diet. Everything in moderation. Play a pure puzzler or a story game or a card game or an RPG or a shmup or roguelike or a brawler or a sim. No need to hate on this very popular mechanic. It's a good one. There's plenty of fresh games that don't lean on it.

That being said I could maybe feel slightly bad for game reviewers who end up playing literally every tree-punching rock-grabbing game in a calendar year but that's what they signed up for. So I don't feel bad at all.
The headline is bad. No idea who that is and it sounds like they work there.

Most tech people who use Word know how to use it and that is exactly the problem. We don't have the benefit of ignorance. We send off drafts to someone for commenting or editing and get an inconsistently formatted mess back because others don't even know that styles exist and use manual / direct formatting instead.

You can make it at home. It’s a matter of equipment. If you have a kitchen aid mixer, you can mix the dough then use attachments to roll, slice, and/or extrude it.

I would structure that differently: the telco pays the fine immediately, but can collect with damages from the source. That ensures that consumers are compensated without delay and gives the telco a strong incentive to be serious about collecting and/or blocking anyone without a robust legal presence. Most of the problem goes back to the decision in the VoIP era that checking ID would slow revenue growth so that needs to be robustly corrected.

Fiscal policy means government taxation and spending - subsidies for home building would be a fiscal policy and would help.

I think you mean no monetary policy can help.

Even there I disagree. Easy money mostly flowed into the hands of the wealthy, who then bought homes as investments, driving up home prices to the point that average people couldn't afford to buy them to live in.

Why would we leave the border wide open and just expect it will work itself out? Even when the US was asking for the huddled masses, there was still a process people went through to be documented and come through legally.

Food and rent prices are definitely out of control, but wage growth actually outpaced inflation [1].

That's a nice view, and I certainly agree that congress should in many cases be more precise in it's language.

That said, if an agency to so XYZ is founded, it needs the authority to do its job.

If Congress cannot even muster the effort to precisely describe the job, it certainly cannot micromanage each job.

Requiring such, depending on how strict, would effectively gut the agencies ability to do anything.

Yeah there's too much insensitivity being brushed off as "it's a reference", "it's a joke", "it's a meme", or with things like "you can't say anything anymore without anyone getting offended". That's not accepting responsibility for what you said. As is "I / he was drunk"; again, shifting blame. It's an explanation, not an excuse, and if you "become" an unpleasant person when drunk, you're an unpleasant person full stop. Stop drinking then.

It sounds like they're about as bulletproof as as screen door. I would be much better to have them as strong as an locked exterior door, maybe not "NSA-proof" (the door is vulnerable to locksmiths and battering rams) but strong enough to keep a kid out.

Public perception frequently doesn't match reality. Crime is a similar situation; nightly and 24/7 cable news highlight lurid cases six states away, so large swaths of the population feel unsafe despite living (statistically) in one of the safest societies ever to exist.

As others have pointed out, Slint is inspired from the good parts of QML.

The Equivalent to QAbstractItemModel is the slint::Model class[1].
That API is actually easier to use as it simple indices instead of the concept of QModelIndex/QPersistentModelIndex and 4D tables of tree of table. And it has sensible default implementation that works consistently. Since it is a template class, all the types are checked at compile time instead of wrap all data into a QVariant and hope the view will interpret it correctly.
Slint is also compiling everything to C++ (or whatever language you use Slint with), and it doesn't have the legacy of having to support JavaScript with dynamic typing and garbage collector.
