I feel like most people grasp the decay of gravity because of space, and because the moon doesn’t crash into us, etc.

I would wager it’s because the space involved is incomprehensible. It’s not obvious why rocks being 600k miles apart forms any kind of feature. That’s 24 trips around the circumference of the earth. I had honestly presumed they were closer. Not sci-fi movie close, but maybe a few miles in between?

Space is incomprehensibly large to me.

On a roadtrip a few years ago I was struck by the design of a row of vending machines at a rest stop: entirely walled off / caged off by a solid metal security mesh, with small holes to just barely let people operate them. Very much like this picture: https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/NudVpPKiq1AsWL1CSAa_... So I agree crime and theft is a big factor. But it's not enough of an explanation, as other high-trust societies (and even more parts of the US not that long ago) don't or didn't emulate various Japanese aspects, and even in Japan there are various "why do they do things this way" aspects that would make most sense in a low-trust or corrupt society. Some of them can be traced to being an over-reaction, like the lack of public trash cans in Tokyo. Increasingly I think the real answer to these "why can't place x have this unique thing Japan has?" sorts of questions is "because it's not Japan" -- you need the whole collection of aspects that only came about via Japan's unique history, you can't do it by just capturing a few aspects like their low crime state. It's an unhelpful answer, but at the same time suggests maybe people should look for ways to do something better, not emulative. (As much as I find the vending machines everywhere in Japan very cool, I don't particularly want them.)
> Your average retiree should not hold stocks as they usually can't survive a 10+ year drawdown (which, as I just showed you, happens a lot more than people think, even in the survivor biased S&P500 example). This is why target retirement funds transition to safer fixed income assets as the target date approaches.

Target retirement funds transition to a safer mix of bonds and stocks as the target date approaches.

Even VTINX has a conservative mix of 30% stocks.

I'd say if you cannot afford to hold any stocks you're probably not yet ready to retire.

I don't buy the "MS purposefully let IE die to avoid anti-trust" story. Ballmer was an enterprise sales guy, no wonder his enterprise software business did great, IE lacked focus and died. Just keeping IE around, they didn't have to kill Google, but just keeping it around would've been interesting in 2020 as they can conceivably use it to move onto rivals. Similarly, windows phone didn't die because of anti-trust but because of Ballmer failure. Windows server is a fail because of Ballmer. Yes MS should've been a ~6T company today. Operating systems were their territory and Ballmer lost ground. There are 6ish other major battlefields: search, e-commerce, social, consumer devices, enterprise software, cloud. Ballmer lost 4/6 despite major advantages going into the last 4 of these.

I'll give credit to Ballmer for being early enough on supporting Azure where it's ahead of GCP, but for how well Azure is doing now that's on Nadella.

Am I supposed to give Ballmer credit for Bing? I'm not going to do so. With enough money any CEO would've been able to crank out a Bing (Same way I'm not impressed by Tim Cook's Apple Watch).

There probably were probably a bunch of people who'd internalised the message that capitalism favours the wealthy party and weren't expecting what actually happened. But nevertheless the history books will record the period as one of generosity, and a successful international strategy that is to be emulated.

Arguably Apple would love to push people who handle large amounts of data into absolutely unreasonably priced upgrades, and people with large media collections into lifelong iCloud subscriptions.

It's not especially hard to fill up 250GB over time. Apps these days seem to have little concern about conserving disk space, and many are super bloated themselves. A hobbyist wanting to enjoy their iPhone camera's capabilities on that pretty 4.5K display might find themselves filling the drive awfully quickly with 75MB RAW files and 400MB/minute video, plus Photoshop itself taking up 10GB.

Macs clearly aren't a first choice for serious gaming, but a casual Mac user who were to want to, say, try the top selling Mac game on Steam—Baldur's Gate 3—would find that at 150GB it'd use up nearly their whole drive. I've certainly had to help a bunch of family and friends sort out why their Mac kept telling them their startup disk was full.

I'm a lifelong Mac user who switched to a DIY Linux machine (6TB storage & 64GB of RAM) primarily over this issue. Sometimes looking at the base specs of new Apple products and the cost for upgrades feels a little like if the base model Porsche 911 came with a go-kart engine, and for another $100k you could get an actual flat six.
> They say they want the city to cough up more cash to help meet the repeatedly blown 50%-of-the-fleet mandate from a decade-old lawsuit settlement.

What was the court's rationale for this 50% figure? Surely 50% of ridership is not wheelchair-bound. If there was a mechanism to request and dispatch wheelchair-accessible cars to the small segment of riders who need it, demand could be filled with much less than 50% of cars so equipped.
You'd be surprised (maybe) how few monitors there are in particular categories. In terms of successors to the older 30" screens at 16:10, or 6k screens of any kind, or simply 5k screen with even some of an assortment of niche quality attributes, there's usually like 1 single offering. I'm still rocking my Dell U3011 from 10 years ago alongaside my 2019 13" MBP with an i5, and occasionally I look at upgrading, but never find something sufficiently compelling that ticks whichever boxes I'm looking for.

For example, I don't want an ultrawide, and I'd prefer IPS quality at around 30-32", and for it to be better than my current screen it'd need to be at least 120hz with <3ms response time and/or retina density, for a relatively modest budget, and for what's available I just end up deciding I'm fine with what I got until it's dead.

Flutter has more usage among professional devs than React Native does per stackoverflow survey https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-t... and statista has similar-enough numbers: https://www.statista.com/statistics/869224/worldwide-softwar...

Seeing as React Native has somewhere around 1 million active developers, Flutter almost certainly does as well.

I have always wondered if some of that audiophile gear is to hide transactions of illegal goods.

"If you buy this $600 cable and include the code CC in the order we will make sure to ship it with some white powdery desiccant packages included to protect the cable"

I mean not all of it, there are enough people with more money than brains to keep the legitimate(hah, right. I guess as legitimate as these sort of companies get) companies around. But sometimes you see a product priced so outrageous, you think there has to be something else going on.
Mill's early goal was to be a saner sbt, incidentally also fixing the parts of sbt that are/were unreasonably slow due to questionable design decisions.

Maven has never been relevant to the Scala ecosystem given most of the community has pretty much moved straight from ant to sbt. Only a few Spark related projects stubbornly use Maven, which is a major pain given the lack of cross-building abilities. Slow dependency resolution and inefficient use of Zinc merely add insult to injury.
> What is native on Linux? Gtk, Qt, Motif (lol)?

Linux is not something that encompasses a GUI, so this is a misguided way to frame the underlying concern. One might as well ask what toolkit is native on smartphones, or what language is natively spoken by humans.

We should instead ask what is native on Plasma, or on GNOME.

"Oh, bother. That would mean I have to think of four things instead of three."

Well, yes, Pooh. But the things that make them different are the things that make them, them.
There was a study (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_study) showing that you could count on a 4% withdrawal rate for retirement income over any 30-year retirement period, including periods spanning the Great Depression and other market lows. Most of the time you can count on more; that was the lowest across the entire study. And with compounding, the difference between "30-year retirement period" and "indefinite retirement period" is not much; withdraw a bit less, or be able to adapt to prevailing conditions, and your retirement portfolio will last indefinitely.

You could use something like json-schema to define constraints, and use json-schema validator libs on the front and back end to validate the form data against the schema.

You still need to handle the "what happens next" part on each side, but at least your validation rules are shared.
No need. Github is already doing the right thing by protecting the victims by not publicly doxxing them by default, because that would be insane. Sucks for you guys I guess.

I dove in for a week or so way back when, but once I read enough posts to realize the actual pitch was “retire early except for the three jobs you have, one of which is blogging about ‘being retired’, and plan to go back to a decent-paying job with benefits if anyone in your family gets seriously sick, LOL, hope you’re not too old when it happens and then have trouble getting any job with benefits” a lot of the magic was gone.
I just tested Douyin 23.5 from 2022[0] and it does not have the two finger scroll bug.[1] It is of course possible they were carrying their own patch for it all this time but that seems unlikely. I doubt they are using Flutter or if they did it must have been a long time ago.

I wish it was just native platforms. Someone needs a faster development and reaching the customers, just use web-views and then bring on native when you have the money, developers, and users. Interacting with non-native apps has consistently been a subpar experience without fail.

I'd rather put my money behind KMP by JetBrains. It has a more streamlines, practical, and consistent future than flutter, react native et al.
Well, this may not be the best example.

Mosquito nets are oft being used as fishing nets. Since 1) the loopholes of malaria nets are much smaller than manually knotted ones (thus also killing baby fish) and 2) the impregnation chemicals kill riverbottom insects (thereby disrupting the foodchain), this has lead to a massive killing of fish. Instead of fixing malaria, this has instead led to aggrevated hunger crises in some places.
Incredibly true and important and ignored by almost everyone, especially the CEOs who've already "made it."
I've never understood why this was chosen as the default experience. Most users don't enjoy having every form element yelling at them for actions they haven't even had a chance to take! You can script around this, but at that point the feature isn't doing much. I'd argue this is the biggest reason you don't see more widespread adoption.

Browser functionality is typically (handwaving on exact numbers here) better than the worst 80% of sites, on par with the next 10%, and not as good as the top 10%. If you're putting in the effort to build a site in the top 10%, sure, you might not want to be "held back" by the browser. But the vast majority of sites would do better by using what's built into the browser.

And I would argue that the value the user receives from that top 10% of sites is not commensurate with the pain the user receives from the sites that think they're in the top 10% but aren't.
Medium was flooded with human-created slop before OpenAI got big.

I also use it in cooking, add a spoonful to a soup or a stew and it really adds some great umami flavor. Marmite roasted potatoes are delicious, too.
I respect and appreciate what you're doing here, my flippant remark was critical of the author's writing style, not of your app or its structure.
The problem for some of those banks wasn't the 30 year treasuries, it was that they bought those treasuries with other peoples money, and other people did not commit to 30 years, so now when the other people come to get their money, the bank doesn't have it.

The 30 year treasuries are still doing just fine, in accordance to the terms of the treasury when it was bought.
Reddit can (and sometimes does) control who can be, and who is a moderator.

So your distinction doesn't exist: This is effectively the business Reddit engaged in discrimination.

Plus when I read Reddit I'm not interacting with a moderator, I'm interacting with a business.

An actual analogous example would be if individual people use a tool to block anyone Jewish from seeing their comments and replying to them. It would be pretty racist of course, but not illegal. A subreddit though, is not the personal playing area of a moderator.

I've been working on Relay [0] - a plugin for Obsidian that makes it real-time collaborative.
It uses yjs CRDTs to sync markdown docs and the directory tree. You can share folders (instead of the whole vault with Obsidian Sync) and I'm close to finishing files/images/attachments support. So far users have been really happy with it. There are a lot of students using it to collaborate on class projects, and few small companies who buy into the Obsidian file-over-app philosophy. The plugin code is also open source [1].

If you think there isn't interpersonal conflict & drama, you're not listening to the arguments between the proponents of string theory, quantum gravity, and people like Roger Penrose who are somewhat skeptical of both.

More likely that because finance involves money, and huge amounts of it, and a lot of people are interested about things that involve huge amounts of money, especially if there's drama.

> I think the relative wealth of northwest Europe also plays a role in the adoption of Apple hardware. Or at least it certainly helps.

Definitely. IPhone here in Spain means tourist or expat :) It's just that most people buy budget phones here. A category in which apple doesn't even compete. The SE is decidedly mid-range (upper mid range in pricing terms even, it's a lot more expensive than in the US)

Also I think people here care less about spelling. There isn't that cultural attention to detail that the northern countries have.
