I guess Apple is using their custom silicon?

That was a major payoff for Apple - I wonder if any of the other fangs will actually be able to follow suit.
Red light cameras have perverse incentives that have led to municipal corruption and made intersections more dangerous.
I would thoroughly recommend the Fall of Civilizations podcast episode on the ancient Phonecians. It goes into detail about life in Phonecian society, particularly Carthage, and its rivalry with Rome and ultimately the Punic wars. It's quite long, but well worth it if you want a broad picture of how life was like in that period.

> Y2K was a real problem

Which only makes it more interesting. There are many takeaways one can have from this article, one of them is that:

- Problem X is serious.

- Y will address problem X

Is incomplete reasoning, or even an outright fallacy. Just because it's claimed that Y will address X doesn't mean it actually will.

Especially on high-stakes issues ("our business will collapse", security, safety) or emotive issues (social justice, security) this type of flawed reasoning seems to be a common problem.
Is there any tangible reason that would actually weight enough to justify not actively wanting to provide basically free resources in help of uncovering (and in effect: preventing) a violent crime?

Because, if not, this is about as "creepy" as those nerdy guys sitting in their bedrooms and basements, tinkering with their silly computers all day, meaning: Non-conformist and something you might just not be ready to think about straight.
On the other hand, singularity type stuff.
Right.. except the whole "argument" falls apart if we consider liability insurance. You can't force other people to have an extra $30k "just in case".

There was no art, poetry, craftsmanship, skill, talent, fame, friendship (or relationships of any kind), flavor, joy, celebration, or creativity before the Industrial Revolution. Gotcha.
Everything is guaranteed to be perfect when there is no deadline, or even timeframe estimate. Assurances without timelines are meaningless. It's more surprising they said much of anything at all this early in the process.
If I were hiring, I'd give special preference to Mac and Linux users.

Not because you can't learn Linux on Windows but because using Linux is usually a sign that the person is not afraid of a little discomfort, not afraid to learn more about the computer they use and willing to accept change and even willing to try new things.

Linux represents a different mindset than Windows and for me, it's very easy to tell who loves what he does and who doesn't, who loves a challenge and who doesn't, who can get stuff done in any situation and who doesn't. All because I used to be a Windows user and I can easily compare the mindset that went into justifying sticking to a difficult OS.
I assume they don't do the work themselves, they pay a tax expert. If I was a rich businessman I wouldn't want to spend any more time than necessary thinking about taxes
CSS-in-JS solutions like Emotion provide something close to that! But they come with some drawbacks (e.g. needs careful setup for server-side generation, spends a few CPU cycles translating to CSS, breaks memoization unless one uses deep object comparison or stores the style data separately from the component).

CSS modules provide a great alternative if one is willing to write CSS in separate files. Otherwise, Tailwind has provided a smoother experience than CSS-in-JS for me.

Also, there is a real debate to be had about if housing should be primary considered an investment or a basic need by society. Many argue that the focus on housing as an investment in the US is a primary driver of our housing problems.
Interesting take, thinking maybe the author would like ruby.

In my world view being able to program is a bit like having an infinitely long lever. The results of this on the world at large is what you might expect from going around handing out infinitely long levers.
Even these people try to minimize their taxes so the refund is larger.

I really think you need to realign your expectations here. The Linux kernel is in a different place now than "back in the day" and you are not Linus Torvalds.

This assumes that elections are necessary for democracy. However this is wrong and the ancient greek already knew that:

"It is democratic for state offices to be filled by lot, and oligarchic for them to be filled by election" (Aristotle, Politics)

This idea was the majority view until the French revolution:

"The decision by lot corresponds to the nature of democracy, the decision by election to that of aristocracy." (Montesquieu, The Spirit of Law)

So, just because voting systems cannot be perfect doesn't mean democracy is mathematically impossible. In fact mathematically and statistically democracy is only possible without any elections, simply by choosing candidates by lot, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition .
> I'd assume that with all the cost savings given the digitalization of the delivery at least it shouldn't be more expensive than renting a physical dvd

I'm confused. A typical streaming service has hundreds or thousands of what would typically be a physical DVD. So how much should they charge?

Also, the vast majority of the cost for most content is in the creation of the content.

Perhaps the point of Tailwind isn't to obviate the need to learn CSS. Which seems obviously true to me, given that if you don't know CSS you can't really use Tailwind very effectively.

There's definitely a 0.1% long tail that's tricky with Tailwind (like this), but 99.9% of app styling is so ludicrously fast in Tailwind as compared to writing raw CSS.
It's simple really, many people don't see it as a "free home".

It's your home. It's no more free or unfree, earned or unearned than anything else.

Yeah that was quite hard to find, even though I already knew about the user guide. I searched for both cursor and spacebar and came up empty. Finally checked each section.

Perhaps because being at the scene of a crime makes you a potential suspect, and in an age of boundless incompetence, I'd rather not take that chance.
> Can you see my point here? If you do not learn Linux, you will keep hitting a wall on your skill development because Linux is everywhere.

No, I don't. Bash is not limited to Linux.

> But if you use the right approach for when things are broken, it will pay off, In a relatively short time, you will get better, your developing speed will grow and you will have better usage of many tools you use daily as a software developer.

You know how do you get better as a developer? By actually developing stuff instead of cosplaying as a Unix graybeard.
Exactly, today people get both: they inherit the assets with a stepped up basis, and also don’t pay tax
It's slow, volume support is worth calling out separately as extremely slow and the whole thing is... not exactly unstable, but unexpectedly brittle. I had to resort to really obscure commands and clean up files in weird locations when the desktop app broke on multiple occasions.

Now the really truly bad part is that most of it won't ever be fixed because of how docker needs to run on a VM (I'll happily and vocally admit I was wrong if Apple releases a mac subsystem for linux.) I don't care about the desktop app, I'm perfectly fine with running docker from the command line, hence why WSL2 makes so much more sense for me.
If it’s simply an engineering feat I agree. Very, very, very often people tend to mix up science being done in technology spaces with engineering. Just because it’s being done in software and perhaps even without rigor doesn’t mean you’re not doing something novel and quite different at a fundamental perspective than someone else. Sometimes it could just be luck of the draw in an implementation approach that gets you there but that’s not always the case.

I’ve worked in scientific computing for awhile now and there are countless subtle decisions often done in the implementation phase that, from a theoretical perspective, aren’t definitively answered by the science working behind the scenes. There’s often a gap in knowledge and implementers either hit those gaps by trial and error, luck, or insight. That’s my opinion, at least. So I don’t think it’s always “just an implementation problem” some will claim, as if the science is well understood and solved. Perhaps it is, but from my experience that tends to not be the case.
It's not just about efficiency, it's also about quality of life. There is a reason that a cop has permission to use his judgement when deciding to write a ticket or not. Because life is better when we don't live under the oppression of draconian rule keepers all the time. Rules are meant to protect people, and as such are often specified in terms of the lowest common denominator, with the understanding that the system doesn't enforce them when they can be reasonably ignored, using good judgement.

Life will be shittier for everyone if an army of self-empowered rule-loving busybodies get to expand their current powers beyond the realm of the HOA.
If “they all do it” and it’s so well‐known, surely one can point to examples where it has been used?

Really makes you wonder how we put up with ReiserFS for so long.

Looks like the author has decided to sell his book by looking at political dimensions of programming. Nothing inherently wrong with that but among programmers it hardly feels like a novel or interesting idea.
There is a very powerful myth taking hold that the Y2K problem wasn't real, but some kind of false alarm or scam. It's very strange and scary. It's not just isolated people getting it wrong, I see it popping up all over the place. We really need to push back on it.

I'm simply stating a fact about DARPA and how their mission and operations fit within the US government.

I disagree with the main motivations and benefit. For me it’s always been about being able to handle hover states etc without having to leave the local context where I’m working. I don’t think anyone can really write tailwind without understanding css.
Both of those features have been built in to macOS for 2 decades, so in comparison, it’s quite slow.
"But what you must know is that WSL has a lot of problems when compared to a full Linux OS. Because WSL is basically a virtual machine of Linux running on Windows, it will be a lot slower and memory-consuming"

Wow, this is just so extremely wrong.
MongoDB gets a lot of hate and created a bad reputation for itself by way of a very successful marketing campaign where they convinced a whole lot of companies to replace whatever RDS they were using with MongoDB some years ago. This caused a lot of RDS-driven applications to uh, experience a lot of development issues.

It basically never makes sense to drive an application with MongoDB, which is why a lot of folks think it's strictly worse.

A perfect MongoDB (or any document db, really) use case has zero relationships. This is accomplished by duplicating data across documents where you would normally use a foreign key in an RDS. Naturally, this is anti-pattern for RDS-minded folks and everything you'd want to do with Mongo stems from this mode of thought (preprocessing/data replication instead of lookups).

Personally, I've had great success with Mongo and appreciate it for it's incredible depth in text searching via Atlas Search. Surprisingly, the web interface for Atlas in general is actually quite good and it's the only one I can bear to use; I usually can't stand them.

It’s one and the same thing. The CEO in a modern big company personifies that single minded focus on shareholders you mention.

Because most of the time it takes a nice, feel good story and immediately sets the tone.

It's like having a casual chat with a colleague and then they trauma dump about what happened to them when they were 15 or whatever. Like okay, cool, take it to therapy, this isn't the place, you're just making things awkward for everyone.
My point was that these skills translate to the BSD's, mac, the cloud, android, desktop linux, etc... not to say that only two categories exist. I think even if you do frontend you would benefit from learning linux, but it was one of the larger examples of people who could eek by, by skipping it. It's also not that hard to do and brings a lot of benefits.
I didn't know about the @container queries, they look interesting.

Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of pushing more state logic to CSS. I understand the benefits (from the github page) but pushing more text into the style string without thinking about tooling (how to debug etc) is dangerous.
It’s more than tax minimization. It’s buying politicians and distorting society so they pay less.
Nope, example: the knowledge I build using OpenRadioss is mine until I die, while the knowledge I build using Abaqus is locked behind a 200k paywall.
Property taxes do not take into account the amount you paid for your house, so they are not a tax on unrealized gains since the gains are not calculated. You could be underwater on your mortgage and you would be taxed just the same.

I would love to. For me the main issue was that things are unnecessary cryptic.

Take vim for example, what a hostile tool for a newbie. Reboot machine much?

No offense towards vim, like any tool it’s great when you know it.

Is this the whole sentiment for Linux, it’s great when you know it? Does it help you to get to know it? No!

Yeah, yeah, so much documentation etc. etc.

But if you don’t have a freaking folder under / saying programs then you failed. Different for all the distros? You failed hard.

So if anyone makes this stuff more logical, beginner friendly, I will be among the first to jump ship. Until then I stay with windows and see linux as a means to run containers.
Police incompetence and overreach.
> judge can (arbitrarily) impose a fairly large fine on any individual using a specific foreign website says everything I need to know about that country and its judicial system

This is where you are inserting “arbitrarily” as both a statement of fact and moral wrongness.

Every single court in every single country has the ability to issue court orders on businesses that operate in that country. It is true in the US, China, the UK, North Korea, France, Australia, Myanmar, Spain, etc.

Name a country! That country has judges that can do things that you do not like. Even things regarding your personal definition of acceptable limitations on freedoms, speech included. And it can seem arbitrary to you.

Your issue is not with Brazil’s court, your issue is with courts in general. Except for…

> I assure you I don't really care for Musk or most of the things he does and (especially) says. That's entirely besides the point.

This is a thread about Twitter being blocked. Is there an any other action taken by the Brazilian supreme court that you have an issue with? If not, this is not a concern about the Brazilian constitution, this is a petulant billionaire screaming “dictator!” loud enough from his soapbox that even people that aren’t in his regular retinue of credulous followers fall for it.

> So a government censoring it's political opponents is fine as long as they are using a platform owned by a rich "libertarian" jerk?

If the judge is following the law, and his only actual sin is pissing off some crybaby libertarian for having to comply with the law, then the judge has committed no sin at all.

Anyway all of that aside, all of this actually stems from Elon Musk refusing to comply with an investigation and court orders around an actual attempted coup in that country. Musk’s credulous supporters will either say “that’s not true because Elon posted that it’s about something else” or “actually the coup should have happened because Musk said the current government is bad and we should support undemocratic government overthrows because Elon says they are good”

His side of this is literally nonsense. It is defended by unserious people.
That's an even better example. Although I can see Ted Chiang arguing that the really good directors painstakingly redo shots, cut, edit etc. Maybe the essence of art is the grind? Not sure.

CSS took 20 years to begrudgingly incorporate the most useful features of SASS, and these are still not wide spread or (like nesting) have become available barely a year ago.

CSS is verbose, repetitive, error-prone, and requires insane workarounds to keep it manageable.

There's a reason why SASS has been nearly a de-facto industry standard, and why abominations like BEM exist.

This is a lengthy quote, but it's relevant and from one of my favorite authors:

> Ah... Keep the peace. That was the thing. People often failed to understand what that meant. You'd go to some life-threatening disturbance like a couple of neighbours scrapping in the street over who owned the hedge between their properties, and they'd both be bursting with aggrieved self-righteousness, both yelling, their wives would either be having a private scrap on the side or would have adjourned to a kitchen for a shared pot of tea and a chat, and they all expected you to sort it out. And they could never understand that it wasn't your job.

> Sorting it out was a job for a good surveyor and a couple of lawyers, maybe. Your job was to quell the impulse to bang their stupid fat heads together, to ignore the affronted speeches of dodgy self-justification, to get them to stop shouting and to get them off the street. Once that had been achieved, your job was over. You weren't some walking god, dispensing finely tuned natural justice. Your job was simply to bring back peace.

> Of course, if your few strict words didn't work and Mr Smith subsequently clambered over the disputed hedge and stabbed Mr Jones to death with a pair of gardening shears, then you had a different job, sorting out the notorious Hedge Argument Murder. But at least it was one you were trained to do. People expected all kinds of things from coppers, but there was one thing that sooner or later they all wanted: make this not be happening.

Why does everyone think Apple was being evil about this??

Fundamentally, it was a matter of being conservative (throttle the CPU) or liberal (faster, but risking an instant and perhaps destructive shutdown.)

The power supply in your computer makes the same choice--kills the system with a modicum of control rather than allow the voltage to drop to the point that the electronics might mess up.

If you're old enough not to have to get off my lawn you might remember in the old days how there were procedures to ensure no destruction on powerdown. They're a thing of the distant past, though, because now the power supply can tell the hardware not to trust the power and the hardware responds by covering it's ears and not trusting any further commands.
Probably the fourth amendment.
investing on cutting edge tech has historically been more beneficial to society in large than similar (tiny) amounts in welfare projects. Increasing workers productivity also makes similar levels of taxation less burdensome. lets say you need 10k a year per capita to finance welfare for everyone. if gross income doubles, tax burden halves.
So far behind how?
We've written all 1600 lines of C that are needed for training and inference of software 2.0.

It's a pretty common belief. People having to sell/mortgage their family homes in order to pay higher taxes because their neighborhood is being gentrified is a self-feeding process. If they didn't have to pay taxes until they sold, it would seem far more just.
I would think that once enforcement becomes automated (and thus applies to those with resources, who currently get away with it), there would be a lot of pressure on the legislature (by those who currently get away with it) to make the rules better. Legislatures can move fast, but only when they're motivated. e.g. if every NYC taxi suddenly got a ticket every time they stopped in the street to pick up a passenger, those laws would be updated very quickly.
> how they can justify the valuations being floated around

I'm sure they have at least a couple jumps in their bag.

Let's not forget inertia, as well. Migrating models is not a trivial project. To gain OpenAI customers, competitors need a considerable jump to justify, which I don't expect any of them to achieve before OpenAI itself delivers their jumps.
> One stupid thing is paste doesn’t work in the terminal… seriously? Why can’t I ctrl-v after ctrl-c from web browser?

Going from Mac to Linux, I felt that the shortcuts in Mac were worse.

On Linux, you don't have to reach for a totally different key to copy/paste from the terminal. You just add Shift to the Ctrl +V and Ctrl+ C. On Mac, it's a totally different button to exit CLI programs and do other things.

All other shortcuts are also a bit better on Linux. Ctrl + J for downloads in Chromium. Ctrl+ H for history. Ctrl + Tab to move through tabs. Ctrl + T for new tab. On Mac, they're very inconsistent.
