There is no "local community," so there is no local production in any meaningful sense anymore. I am nothing like my neighbors, never have been, and have never known very much about them in any of the places I've lived. That suggestion is entirely untenable.

Many indie works suffer from the same formulaic failings as popular works, so that doesn't seem like a solution either. The same old hero story with a black or gay protagonist is not suddenly more interesting, yet that's a large portion of what's coming out of the indie scene.

In the US, there is no solution. We are all shackled to the cultural carcass that is late modernity. Retelling the same stories we have for decades, just with different colors.
I like the testing pyramid specifically because it captures the tradeoffs between the different kinds of tests. Mocks can come in handy, but like anything else can be abused. We need a "Mock this, not that" kind of guide.

I had a computer growing up. It wasn’t always connected to the Internet. I had dial up occasionally. But I cannot imagine my child growing up with social media is a good thing. Facebook, MySpace, Instagram, TikTok didn’t exist when I was a kid.

And while the genie is out of the bottle, I want to minimize the exposure of social media. The smartphone experience is shrouded in social media. I want to do everything in my power to put her in an environment with other parents who have agreed to modify their environment. We’re looking at San Francisco Waldorf School. They even have a “computer lab” with designated screen time in the later grades.

I've essentially been adjusting my saving/investing to keep my take home at about the same amount since I've reached a certain threshold.

Now, I wouldn't say no to more, but I also don't feel I need more necessarily. Even now, I have about a year's worth of money tucked away "just in case".

And the major reason for the saving/investing is to be able to generate enough cash to cover bills so I'm not reliant on a job for anything.

How many docking ports are on the ISS? Maybe this is Boeing's way of slowing down Dragon capsule dockings? Or maybe this will be their Apollo 13 version of a successful failure? /s

If Crew Dragon needs to be launched to bring back the Starliner's passengers, that should be the final nail in Starliner's coffin.

I'm seriously shocked that NASA allowed themselves to be bullied by Boeing to allow this thing to have been launched at all.
A funny thing to me is I took CS 50 in '85 or '86 (CS 50 and CS 55 were later split into the CS61X series), and instead of Scheme we used Logo for functional programming.... using Brian Harvey's textbook. He was not teaching the course that semester.

At least part of the goal of CS 50 at that time was to explicitly weed students. They didn't want undeclared students to waste a whole lot of time on CS only to find out they were not going to be accepted into CS. Instead, they went through one hard course to find out. Perhaps that explains why some of it was overwhelming to some students?

The difference is, I don't go around telling you what to do. Be a nice guy if you want.

I simply stated my way of thinking, but it angers the "nice guys" and I get attacked for it.

Oh, and you're not the gatekeeper of credibility, nor do I care how "credible" my opinion is to you (what does that even mean?). Credibility of opinions is just more "nice guy speak".
They could put anybody who assembles those parts into a drone into prison. Of course it would still be technically feasible to make one anyway, just as it's technically feasible to make an autosear, or for that matter a whole gun. Doesn't mean it can't be banned.
Battery technology starts at the cell. It's far easier to build a small cell and test it's chemistry than it is to build a large (in comparison) battery.
I'd say basic needs are a safe place to live, food, and some kind of transportation (unless the area is reasonably walkable).

As far as who does the shitty labor jobs, they would need to incentivize that work to make it desirable for people, instead of just expecting someone to need to do it to not die. We are also at a point where a lot of those jobs could be done by machines.
Ironically, I think that circumventing lockdowns will teach them far more about technology than the policy to use them for class in the first place.

The style associated with AI image generators is by no means all they are capable of, it’s what is both actuallypopular in use and promoted by vendors because they expect it to be popular and blandly inoffensive.

Also there's nothing inherent in currently popular style that makes it “canned expression”; is used for canned expression because it’s popular; when popular tastes shift, so does canned expression; that's how commercial vs. fine art moves.

If AI changes the details of that other than accelerating the process, it’ll probably be by a “Latinum is valuable because you can't replicate it” effect, which probably won’t hit exactly where what current professional artist see as most interesting is any more than it will hit where current populat art is.

I will never forget starting off my career as a 'contract employee' with no benefits. Working long hours I developed quite a few health problems within the first year. It was nearly impossible to see a doctor and when I finally did I had to fight the insurance company for weeks to cover a visit.

I was making every single meal to save money, my supervisor used to sneak us food from the c-suite catered lunches after we were banned from going upstairs to scavenge their leftovers.

When my contract was up they offered me another contract, after a year I expected to be offered full-time employment with benefits. I asked around to see if this was normal and met someone who had been a contract employee for 5 years. I quit the next week.

I think California passed a law preventing contractor classification abuse shortly after this but it left a lasting impression on my view of corporate business culture.
Mocking is useful for testing small parts of your programs/libraries. For full-scale testing you really need to not emulate because any emulation will be woefully incomplete, so you're going to have to spin up a virtual network with all the services you need including DNS.

You are absolutely right regarding the capabilities.

Although many image generators now seem to be fine-tuned to output impressive but formulaic art by default, to ensure a good first-impression for a broad audience.

Midjourney for example has always been great at generating very "cool" art easily, but seems to be less versatile and always tends towards that same people-pleasing style.
While I _absolutely_ agree with those sentiments, I have seen nothing like consensus on them myself (in mostly tech startups, but also fintech, and financial (yes, those are different things)). If I limit it to programmers I respect, the percentages go up, but to _maybe_ 75% tops.

> There is no "local community," so there is no local production in any meaningful sense anymore.

This is absolutely not true everywhere in the US. In every place I've lived, there has been local community. More vibrant in some places than others, but always there.

I can't know if that's the case in all parts of the US, but I suspect it's true in the majority.

> I am nothing like my neighbors, never have been, and have never known very much about them in any of the places I've lived.

Perhaps you've been opting not to engage with the local communities you've been in?
I think you are onto something. Cell phones appear to be just part of the issue. In the US ( I have no insight about UK ), it seems already existing rules are not always enforced.

<< The main issue is underpaid, overworked, and more often than not, teachers who aren't properly qualified to teach (not for lack of an official paper saying they can), who can't reach troubled/lacking students, and quite frankly they don't care to or even attempt to.

It is easy to paint with broad strokes. For example, in Chicagoland, teachers can be paid fairly well for the amount of work they do ( though based on some of the stories, I would not want to go through that myself; surely, some just check out ).

Creality/Bambu killed more small companies (and Reprap) than it bothered Stratasys IMHO.

But yes...there very well may be a security concern there too. Bambu sends/receives info from the companies servers. At least once this has allowed a supposed firmware update to cause a large number of printers to start printing uncommanded. This is a major safety and security risk and it was largely ignored by the consumer community due to Bambu "making things easier".

So yeah...perhaps we should start looking into these companies...and exactly where their subsidies do/may come from.
I agree. Kids gotta learn how to handle boredom and not be disruptive with their own thoughts. Doodle if you need to
Yep, this is my impression as well. The article seemed very dissonant to what I actually see when comparing between pop culture during my 90s childhood and today.

Just to take one top of mind example: Recently when watching TV with my kids, we've been going down a "science and engineering" youtuber rabbit hole, and I think there is essentially no end to it. There are at least tens of popular creators in this genre, and hundreds, maybe thousands, of people doing it. When I was a kid, essentially this entire segment of pop culture was comprised of Bill Nye.

And I see this all over the place. We had Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Now there are hundreds of singers in a niche like that who have a following.

So which of these worlds is the oligopoly? Not the one today, I think...

I think the problem here is with the definition of "pop culture" that the article is using. It's true that lots of segments of pop culture that were dominant in the past have been hollowed out. But pop culture has itself just massively broadened out.
You're talking about a world of P2P and local use.

That's a false dichotomy.

Most urban value is exploited by exurban and suburban population, while paying very little tax towards urban upkeep.

Similarly, small up-state cities rely on the central 'bread-winner' city while overwhelmingly voting against QOL improvements for that city in state legislature.

Rural areas don't factor in too much.

Only in the US can it be acceptable for the city's governing body to live outside city bounds. There is an absence of basic incentive alignment and the outcomes show that.

Congestion pricing, limiting free parking, mandating weaker housing restrictions around regional transit, etc. are tried and tested ways for cities to get their due.

The cities are at fault too. NYC's insistence on housing 100k+ illegal immigrants in manhattan's 3 star hotels is a self inflicted wound. NYC isn't the worst, but I started making a self-inflicted wound list for west coast cities, then we'd be here for a long time.

Honestly, US are badly managed in general. However, produce so much economic value that they're able to brute force their way out of the mismanagement.

Knowing history, brute force only goes so far....

Here is the playlist[0] with all his financial analysis videos.

While looking for it, I also re-discovered his chemistry lessons playlist[1]. Which i totally forgot about until now, but can recommend almost just as much to those interested in the topic. Just looking at the video titles, you can tell it is legit.

Personally, I am extremely thankful for those, as chemistry has been my own largest knowledge gap in terms of science fundamentals. At any point in HS or college where I had to pick more science classes, I always picked physics over chem, because I wasn’t really into chem at all back then (and maybe a bit self-conscious about my lack of pre-existing knowledge of it, as everyone at my college seemed to have taken AP Chem beforehand, which I didn’t).

> Finally, who drives garbage trucks, picks food in hot fields, delivers goods by driving all night, etc when they have all of their basic needs met for free?

The idea that we need to ensure that a large enough group is struggling enough to work unsavory jobs is a predatory mindset.

If less people want to work a certain job for any reason, that means that the demand is greater than the supply. In that scenario, the traditional way to get people to work those jobs is to offer more money or other compensation.

Just because people have some food, clothing and shelter does not mean that they won't want better food, better clothing or better shelter.
Then maybe the good answer is to fix the facilities.

> world war 2 naval history?

Mind to share some titles? As I’m also interested in naval history and strategy, and for better or for worse I’ve stopped reading programming books a good while ago.

Also, and for what it’s worth, I found out that good books on military strategy are also really valuable when trying to apply them to many higher-ish-level programming tasks, so in that respect
I’m hitting two birds with one stone.
Yes, and I think they did that for relatively cynical reasons -- as a handout to the Best Buys of the world who would then be able to attach a 90% margin "Printer cable" at $29.95 to your $50 Black Friday special inkjet.

I suspect the reason why this didn't go on to become standard across all classes of device, is because since 2010 or so, the average or median margin on accessories has cratered thanks to Amazon Marketplace sellers. You could realistically end up needing to buy a Belkin $30 printer cable in 2005, unless you'd heard of Monoprice. Today by contrast if you just search Amazon for it, you'll have one for $4.94-$6.49 delivered within 2 days. If margins were still what they used to be on cables and stuff, I think you'd have a strong incentive for places like Amazon and Walmart to pressure suppliers to make cables a la carte (officially for environmental reasons, but also, for great profits, lol)

ska (and djb) libs have its own little world which, in some aspects, is weirder than systemd.

A most striking example is their time approach - they refuse to acknowledge 64-bit timeval and claim "those APIs will become obsolete in 2038" [0]; instead, they promote the TAI time, which is uses Unix epoch, except with bit 63 set and adjusted by leap seconds offset (whose value changes every few years or so, so old code needs to be patched or all timestamps would be a few seconds off). And this is not just internals; it's visible to users for example in log file names [1]

Now, I don't care if it's TAI or UTC, but I do think the working well with others is very important. And choosing a timestamp which is incompatible with basically every other piece of software out there is.. suboptimal.
