You sound like my son.

Who didn't have much of an answer when I asked him who it was that enacted Medicaid, which paid for the major surgery his son needed when he was born that the parents could not possibly have paid for. He also didn't have much of an answer when I asked him who constantly wants to nibble away at Medicaid, as a testimony to their fundamental opposition to such a "safety net".

The Democrats have lots and lots of problems, including deference to the rich and corporations. But for all their failings, they have consistently attempted to make the lives of regular people a little bit better and sometimes even succeeded.
That's exactly it. They put up a gate that blocks low-effort issues that only add busywork. I like it!

What I find even more exciting are the reports of GLP-1 helping alcoholics stop drinking.

Every one less drunk on the roads is a huge win for society, there is no undoing the impact of a murder afterwards.

Now we just need to do something about the cost and accessibility of these drugs because it's a moral crime to not help people that are willing.
This has been done a few times before. How much does it cost to post? How are saved posts paid for in Pinata?

I think those that dismiss AI completely will fall behind, and those that turn it into a crutch will pay for it in the years to come. I truly believe AI is game changing, as I used it to create standalone functions and get answers that saved me a day or two of research and reading. I've never worked with the cheerio library before but it answered everything I needed to know, among other things. It wasn't perfect though, as it (can't remember the model) wasted some time for me regarding the SQLite library for Node.js.

I think the issue we have right now is we are treating LLM as a final solution (mainly due to investors) instead of thinking of it as a new interface, with quirks that cannot be taken lightly. It's a bit extreme, but I think junior developers should not be allowed to use LLM. LLM is a Power Tool for developers that can easily spot BS and/or have the confidence and knowledge to fix BS that is missed.

I didn’t realize the Neuromancer was written in Vancouver!

There’s a less well know cyberpunk adjacent TV show, Continuum, that’s set in Vancouver, year 2077 and all that :) It’s surprisingly good!
Making those things emits a lot more pollution than plastics. And costs a lot more too.
If you want to get fun with it you can actually fit the entire IP range in a single 32 bit value. On the internet networks larger than /24s aren't considered valid advertisements so you only need to store 3 bytes (the first 24 bits) of the address to hold the start. If you store than in a uint32 you can use the remaining 8 bits to hold the netmask (you don't actually need all of them but it keeps things byte aligned), which lets you dynamically calculate the end address in just a few CPU cycles. The search still occurs on the base address portion so you don't ever have to calculate the end address until you've already found the right base address.
You know who the maintainer of Git is right?
Agency is also possibly an innate ability not necessarily cultivated at school or by focusing on some useful early pursuit.

Just making urban hukou easier to adopt (which is something that multiple municipalities slowly started doing in the late 2010s) isn't enough to solve the social mobility issue.

Parents won't give up rural hukou if it also means losing your landholding and early retirement stipend benefits.

If you're a migrant worker from a rural household, you are most likely an unskilled laborer and are earning around $300/month, with dad working on a construction site or Meituan and mom working in a factory doing unskilled assembly or service job.

Around $150 is spent on incidentals because living in an urban area is expensive, an additional $100 is sent back to your family (grandma, grandpa, kids because the one child policy was largely ignored in rural China) back home in your rural town, and you might have $50 left over to save for retirement, healthcare, etc.

This is not enough to buy urban property, which is the asset class that appreciated the most in China, and this means the only large asset you have is your rural landholding. Furthermore, that early retirement benefit means you're earning an additional $15-20/month while continuing to work as a laborer or a Meituan delivery driver.

Fundamentally, salaries are too low in China and the social safety net is nonexistent, and this is what is causing the issues like overproduction, deflation, and sagging consumer demand which we are seeing nowadays.

The only way to solve this problem is to either expand the welfare system dramatically (thus incentivizing the bottom half to spend more by having to save less) or increase wages (thus incentivizing the bottom half to spend more by allowing them to save at the same rate while spending more). Working on increasing the quality of life in rural China would also help dramatically.

Sadly, Chinese leadership at the top level continues to ignore social welfare spending and rural China due to financial and moral concerns.
Imo, they just don't lead to more actually clarity inside my brain. They are just a lot of work on top of it.
Losing weight isn't easy, but it is simple
It's a bit premature, but if it's made by the same guy who made https://pixelfed.org then he definitely has experience in this area.
This is neither a best practice, nor does it result in bug free code.
I agree that was over the top. I was motivated to exaggerate a bit to counter what I sometimes see as one-sided, breathless advocacy. HPPD exists, and as another poster said, it may be attributable to things like anxiety - so maybe not the end of the world? Still, it needs to be in the discussion.
What is the first American graphic novel?
Java/Spring Boot is there (Web --> Dynamic --> Large --> No)

But you're right, it's not complete at all. I wanted to keep it minimal so as not to overwhelm people.
>For all its many faults the US seems to have realized a long time ago that you cannot protect incumbents at the cost of startups.

I think it wasn't an American realization as much as it was a success of "the American experiment" 250 years ago, a European experiment undertaken by Europeans living in North America, taking European ideas from the Enlightenment and applying them broadly, to politics, to religion, to the economy, and it flourished.

The tendency to protect incumbents was harder to root out back where the incumbents were more firmly entrenched.

If you want to take the "loose analogy" approach even further, consider that the Enlightenment was also the integration of Northern European ideas stemming from individual self reliance because you need to when it's cold as fuck outside, as opposed to southern European/Roman Empire successful ideas of depending on huge bureaucracies to gather and apportion more abundant resources.

this is not a proof of anything, just a pointing out/noticing type set of ideas. To me it seems tied in to other intellectual trends we see in history, where the , e.g., Romantic era was a movement in music, and in art, and in literature, and in politics/social theory, seemingly unrelated areas moving in concert, a reflection of how our brains work.

(probably similar ideas can be found outside the West, but it's not something I'm that educated about)
I say “might have been” because the lecture was suppressed before we could hear its contents. But what I said is consistent with what its contents were announced to be: Historical perspective on what has happened in countries where dictators came to power.

You claimed delivering this perspective would “undermine the institution”, whereas I think it would strengthen the institution, in what might be a very timely fashion.
Well there's more to it than that, as the weather has remained the same over time, yet the problems they currently have, have not always been there.
Even within the set of "people of the British Isles and migration to the USA", identity is a complex, almost fractal thing. Brits, Scots, Ulster Scots, etc.

I mean, she was pretty clear about why she found the signal, and that she read the RDS documentation in order to decode it, etc.

I think the more fun part was towards the end, when she brute-forced decryption keys for traffic information coordinates and also found the (AFAIK) non-standard Finnish bus stop time table information in another band and reverse-engineered that, and I think that was the takeaway of the talk.
I’m confused as to how this argues that precocious kids’ situation today is different from the past. Is the idea that the situations of self-made tycoons past—telegraph operator supporting his family by age 16, and so on—were somehow typical of youth in those days?

Isn’t the more apt comparison between “pointless” schoolwork today and the “pointless” menial labor that would characterize more typical adolescences in early industrial times?

For that matter, between interest groups and national contests and wholesome YouTube role models aand makerspaces and even open-source, where kids can ease their way into meaningful contributions—all against a backdrop of world-historical material security—isn’t it an even larger handful of exceptional kids today with the means to break out and “do” than in the past?

Why should we look to the experiences of the exceptional few to understand what works best for kids on average?
To be fair, there's a difference between "people who make YouTube videos for a living" and people who make videos to spout contrarian "theories" so they can sell snake oil.
Here's the other thread for reference[0], and yeah, something might be going on. The referenced one from yesterday is by Nina Teicholz who is meat industry paid to confuse people like us. If you read the other post, at least watch this about the author [1]. If you read that post, watch that video.

So many cases in human history are where one thing is believed, people and studies come and show that it's false, and then it takes a really long time for culture to come around to it. Earth being round, tobacco, climate change among others.

Based on what the non-industry funded science shows, saturated fat being considered any bit healthy is in the long stage of culture taking a long time to accept what the science is saying. And it's not helped by studies with industry funding that know how to skirt the edges. Many places to choose from, but here's one from Dr. Barnard talking about sugar vs saturated fats [2].

This is actually really cool. This may be the first application of blockchain tech that makes a lot of sense to me.

Barring someone hacking your wallet you can’t be impersonated on this without it being really obvious. I am thinking something like this would be better for government announcements and such as a result.

Very nice project.
Most devs do know what Lisp'ish languages are because you just can't forget how weird a bunch of nested parenthesis look.

They just don't care enough to invest time in it because it is niche. And proponents tend to tirelessly spam about it from their ivory towers like it's flawless and everyone who didn't learn it is somehow inferior, somehow justifying personal attacks like yours. Classy as usual.
Although I understand the frustration that comes with feeling like misinformation is being spread, it is also much easier to have a meaningful discussion without such a tone/writing style. Everybody is human, and reading something like that can be quite inflammatory and distract from the conversation. Anyways, that's just my personal opinion, and despite writing this, strong emotions getting involved in public forums with topics like these is kind of inevitable.
We are in a second Gilded Age, some experts say
German elections are also rather consistent except for a few years.
Exactly.

I, like most devs, know what Lisp is.

I, like most devs, just don't care.
Yes and no — I think there'll be an expectation that you follow best practices and use the tools available. The legal system doesn't expect "mathematical" perfection in cases like this; if you can show that you worked diligently (kept up on tools, have a test suite, use static analyzers and sanitizers, etc.) I'm reasonably sure you'll be off the hook.

If you can show that.
That’s my point. Instead of calling it “bad” it would be more accurate to call it something else; “occasional”, “treat”, etc.

Absolutely with you on the need for high-impact tests. I find that humans are still way better at coming up with the tests that actually matter, while AI can handle the implementation faster—especially when there’s a human guiding it.

Keeping a human in the loop is essential, in my experience. The AI does the heavy lifting, but we make sure the tests are genuinely useful. That balance helps avoid the trap of churning out “dumb” tests that might look impressive but don’t add real value.
It’s even worse to proscribe liability when the “flaw” is not even an actual operating failure, but the ability for a bad actor to break the software maliciously.

Software is only as insecure as the user’s willingness to expose it to untrusted inputs, combined with the user’s willingness to give the software unfettered access to sensitive data.

“Don’t let hackers control the input stream” is literally the end of any and all security issues.
I'm talking about his Silver Bulletin writings, not things filtered by NYT editors.
I think this package can reduce readability. The content under Before looked better than the After to me. For example, it changes the word "duplex" to "du-plex" split over two lines, which is less readable.

The question is, if someone who is a grand master in identifying the “modern composer trying to imitate Chopin” knows so much that his own Chopin imitations become (statistically) undistinguishable from Chopin's own compositions for anyone else. (Except for experts who know every piece of Chopin and thus do not need to identify them by style, but can use “brute force”.)
the entire article rests on a shorter String that can be fit on registers reliably. If you have bytes in registers, it is not clear that passing bytes by value is "deeply flawed."
I really enjoyed continuum and felt that the last season was a bit abrupt leaving a lot unexplored.

PDF? I'd agree about that "open" document format that MS Word use (the standard literally states that some things should be implemented "like MS Office does") but not PDF.
I wouldn't exactly call a ytdl-style media downloader with a whole library of site-specific extractors and converters "dumb" but still cool that more projects like ytdl exist.
I’m not sure what makes you think I’m talking about browsers, because I’m not :)

My point is just that the React ecosystem has become surprisingly stable. Of course if you are going to continuously rewrite things into the current flavour of the month framework, you are going to spend a lot of time doing that, but keeping up with upstream changes in dependencies is not something I have found particularly burdensome.

To take the project I mentioned above as an example,
currently it’s running on React 18.x, most dependencies are on the latest major version et.c. Still, much of the code is as it was written 8+ years ago, because the core APIs of React have been stable.
Indeed, 0^0 is often defined to be 1 in combinatorics textbooks, for instance, because in those contexts that's a useful/meaningful choice.

In measure theory it's often useful to augment your reals with positive/negative infinity. In projective geometry it's sometimes meaningful to allow division by zero (to counter one detail of your comment). In nonstandard analysis you would consider infinitesmals to be valid numbers, and in game theory you might consider stuff like the surreals which are yet another to view the familiar numbers, with different laws.

You can say we're talking about many different systems here, and that's true in a formal sense. I'm just pointing out that these formal systems come from somewhere, and mathematics is really about the thought-stuff underlying them. You should be willing to bend a rule here and there if it is truer to the concepts you care about - statements like "division by zero is undefined" should never be taken as absolutes.

(but of course this is just my personal philosophy of mathematics, take it with a pinch of salt)
No mention of the French paradox:

> the paradoxical epidemiological observation that French people have a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), while having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats,[1] in apparent contradiction to the widely held belief that the high consumption of such fats is a risk factor for CHD.

Nailed it. Even if the knob worked like a real knob, it would suck. I'm supposed to drag the cursor around in a circle? What a fussy PITA. And what is the hittable zone for that? The very edge? The center to the edge? Some slop area beyond the edge too?

Just no.
But Pinyin is based on pronunciation, which varies across China. So Pinyin is based on Putonghua ? So Pinyin reinforces the role of putonghua as a project of national unification ? And the pre-eminent role of Beijing ?

Architect from Paris here.
That’s right, except the mines didn’t cover all of Paris, they were originally outside and eventually built over. [1]
The underground networks below Paris are actually said to be even more extensive than the streets and extend many stories deep. These networks are the result of a complex layering of quarries, catacombs, sewers, bunkers, undergound metro, and even waterways [2], large parts of which have been abandoned over time.
No public map is available, who knows what else might be hiding there.

I can't stand Guitar Hero because it's nothing like playing a real guitar and I'm therefore no good at it. At least the Rock Band drums vaguely approximate playing a cheap e-kit and the vocal part has proper pitch detection... unfortunately a real guitar is hard to replicate with cheap plastic hardware. There's also the fact that memorizing a real song is easier than memorizing colored buttons because you can build a mental model of the song around your knowledge of music theory.

On the topic of complex games a la Factorio: I've been playing a lot of Age of Empires II with my friends lately and have come to enjoy it. I previously shied away from RTSes because I was terrified of the meta but I've gotten decent enough to consistently beat the CPU on Moderate. I have no shot of ever commanding an army of trebuchets and knights in real life so doing it on my ThinkPad via Proton is the next best thing :-D
Yeah… that was the issue.

I happen to agree, but the law itself doesn't make that clear. That's what matters.
To use an overextended computer metaphor: serializing data structures to a wire format forces lazy evaluation, turning up any errors that were previously hidden by laziness.
In science a theory refers to a scientific theory. That's a pretty circular definition. Or maybe a tautology.
I've never tried Factorio, but I found Satisfactory very boring after a few hours. It was initially fun to do some exploring and make some initial manufacturing lines. However, when I realised that to scale up the manufacturing, then I would have to place all these components by hand hundreds of times, it just felt like boring make-work, and I never turned it on again. Maybe I would have continued if there was some way of automating the building, such as some sort of 2D viewer.

Late (in their thirties) bloomers facing the question of their adequacy, sociability, fuckability, mental stability, resilience, physical fitness, cognitive abilities and of course liquidity will gain motivation and hope from the info in the title.
Let's make it extremely simple for you:

Can you name a single species whose speciation-by-random-mutation we have witnessed? Have I missed the Down-syndrome one (or any analogous known gene mutation) which has been continuously procreating all this time?

Besides the fact that Down-syndrome is a terrible example since Down-syndrome-parents would not necessarily produce offspring with the same genetic disorder, hence no speciation-by-random-mutation.
