> The vast majority of the population choose where the want to live first – in fact, the majority of the population still live within a small radius of where they were born!

I wouldn't call it a vast majority, apparently 59% of people live in the state where they were born and most states are pretty big places (https://www.test.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/...).

> Moving somewhere for a career is fairly abnormal.

I think you're probably right on a job-to-job basis, most people aren't picking up and moving across the country for each new role. But it only takes one move to another city for the "several multi-generational families in close proximity" dynamic of many rural areas to be disrupted. Even short moves could easily make someone much more socially isolated. Move 50 miles away from your hometown and now you're seeing your former neighbors once a month or less instead of a few times a week.

> there is a small segment of the population who will chase work at the cost of where they live. Let's say this is who ends up in the suburbs. Perhaps that's the problem? As in they end up being comprised of people focused on their career, and thus don't prioritize community?

Not sure this is the right way to frame it. It isn't necessarily about "ending up" in the suburbs when a huge percentage of the country was born in the suburbs or in a city, never having had a tight-knit multigenerational community to begin with. 80% of the US is urbanized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_in_the_United_Sta...). Most people are moving from generic suburb to generic suburb (or city). A kid born in some suburb isn't choosing to focus on their career over community, but nevertheless economic migration was likely the force that caused them to end up there.

> Does that actually appeal to the people of the suburbs, or are you projecting?

Somewhat remains to be seen, but my gut feeling is yes. I think that most suburbanites haven't deeply considered other alternatives given that they've mostly only been exposed to "default US suburbia." That was the case for me until I got into urbanist YouTube and moved to a more urbanist location. When I share urbanist material with friends and family that haven't been exposed to it before, they tend to be pretty receptive. Anecdotes yes, but I'm not being disingenuous.

> constituents of a democratic government, and therefore can already have anything their collective hearts desire. Why isn’t this already the reality?

In theory yes, but in reality these are changes that will take a long time. There's a lot of red tape when it comes to building and zoning, and vocal minorities (NIMBYs) can often block or delay efforts that have popular support through lawsuits (recently near my area: https://www.arlnow.com/2024/09/27/breaking-judge-overturns-m...). Consider that there are plenty of issues that have wide bipartisan support among US voters as a whole but haven't been implemented for political reasons. Even when there is popular support and policy is implemented, whole areas can't simply be rebuilt overnight.

There's no advantage whatsoever unless you like the look of a display with a huge "chin" and hate cables with a firey passion. Using list prices, the iMac costs $300 less than a studio display with the same screen. You get a whole computer for negative money. Shows you how much money Apple makes on storage and RAM upgrades! But of course it won't remain useful for as long. I know people who are still using the Cinema Displays from over 10 years ago.

I don't think calling gaming on linux "possible" gives it the justice it deserves, with the arrival of the Steam Deck and all the improvements Valve contributed to the upstream. The experience is practically _seamless_.

I agree though that linux _on desktop_ is pretty janky, or at least it always was for me, having tried daily driving numerous distros.
GTK 3 or 4? Xfce+MATE+Cinnamon are still popular enough options and I used the former for years.
GTK itself isn't even a well defined target.

And GTK3 apps of which there are plenty do not appear native in a modern GNOME desktop much more so than a decent Qt app does.

The thing is that people in the real world talk about Linux support for an app, as in Desktop Linux support, and the only common denominator there for years was basically X11. I have heard exactly no one ever ask, oh when is that app going to be available for KDE or GNOME. For example, to take something recent here, do the people writing the Zed editor promise a particular DE support - no it's available for "Linux."

As to earlier mentioning distros - for a GUI app, there’s more pain from intra-distro variation than inter-distro, both across configurations and supported versions.

Now the big thing, the even bigger thing is probably native Wayland vs X11, but no one says, oh vendor will you please bring your app to KDE or GNOME, specifically. 99% of the time you are happy if you get anything at all.
So the concept of native on Linux (Desktop Linux) just isn't something usually worth discussing.

This should be a crucial realization for anyone out there trying to establish worthwhile intimacy with friends or anyone else as an adult. If you use the idea of scaling in a more abstract sense, you don't get to relentlessly pursue your personal career ambitions AND come out with substantial personal intimate relationships for free. It takes deliberate time and attention to cultivate a worthwhile connection with someone, whether it's your kids, or your parents, or your friends, and that's going to come from the few hours you get after work or on the weekend, or it just simply won't.

This is already very apparent to anyone who still has friends and family back home, wherever you went to school or went to grade school. If when you visit, you tell everyone you're available, you're going to give everyone a small scheduled fraction of time and then hurry yourself off somewhere else, making no more than a shallow appearance. But if you only tell the people you know you can for sure spend a good uninterrupted chunk of time with, then it'll be wildly better
> Writing Rust for web (Actix, Axum) is no different than writing Go, Jetty, Flask, etc. in terms of developer productivity.

Oh jeez, hard disagree. I absolutely love Rust, but spinning up something in Flask is so so so much easier than in Rust (warp and axum are where I have experience). Certainly some of this is just a part of the learning curve of figuring out a Rust crate you haven't used before. But still, I don't think it's credible that Rust web development is just as productive as the others you mention.
A bit perplexed by your comment. That wasn't a main reason people started using javascript.

I even remember when people started evangelizing client-side validation in the mid-2000s. Javascript was already a normal tool used in web apps by then, and most web developers would regularly be adding javascript to their apps.

Back then it was a bit of a pita as you had all sorts of gotchas with javascript memory leaks by registering change events on controls. I can't even remember the term now, but you could basically have a circular reference between a closure and a control and so it wouldn't cleanup properly.

Also, modern developers probably can't even begin to imagine how slow javascript was on IE6. A loop of a few 100 iterations could bring it to an unresponsive halt.

I got a stylus for my iPad and i felt that way at the beginning but I learned that i visualize in my head what I'm going to create right before I draw, and the difference between what's in my mind vs what gets produced is so great, that it feels like a weird uncanny valley and i hate the output.
There is (subjective) charm in handwritten text that is simply not present in digital fonts. I would rather keep that magic alive.
Wired mice don't need to charge. Most modern wireless mice charge just as fast, you just don't NEED it because you can keep the cable plugged in. One minute of charge gets 3 hours for the Logitech MX 3S for example.
Integrating an LLM capabilities directly into the OS is pretty slick. I know it's just one less step than copy/pasting something into a ChatGPT tab in your browser, but that seamless experience makes it that much more accessible and lower friction.

I'm excited to see where Apple Intelligence goes; though I do wonder if Apple choosing to partner with OpenAI will eventually put them in the backseat when other models like those from Anthropic surpass OpenAI's capabilities.
Two stories spring to mind.

The first is the propensity for journalists to be in lockstep with US foreign policy. This occasionally gets brought up to them and they generally act offended and might respond with "my views haven't been bought" to which the retort is "you wouldn't have this job if you didn't have these views". The point is that there are filters at every level to produce people who are complicit with the status quo, not just in journalism.

The second is an old Noam Chomsky video talking about Newt Gingrich railing against "welfare queens" when in fact his congressional district (at the time) received something like the third-most (after the Kennedy Space Center and another I forget) most from Congress, which is really the definition of welfare. But we don't often talk about "corporate welfare".

But the point is the Democrats at the time never challenged him on this. Why? Class solidarity. The political elite (regardless of party) are more interested in perpetuating the system than anything else because they directly benefit from it.

A good example of this is so-called "floor privileges". If you've been a Congressperson and leave, almost inevitably to become a lobbyist, you retain, by convention, "floor privileges". That is, you have the right to enter Congress and the chamber of the House of Representatives even though you're a private citizen (worse, a lobbyist). No Congresspeople wants to upset that apple cart because that's their future path to wealth: selling access.

So people like Matt Levine are an outlier basically by design.
nobody talks about discomfort.

Is there a place for discomfort or not?

I'm pretty sure urgency and discomfort is part of overcoming things like decision paralysis and other types of procrastination / slowness.

Discomfort might be part of compromise, which is needed to get people to work together or collaborate effectively.
Is there some betting market where I can put money on this other side of this prediction?
Funny. Growing up near there, and often passing by I just thought 'what a mess'. Because it's made out of soft stones which erode easily, and thus large parts of it are always encrusted in scaffolding for repairs. And when they are ready with that part, they can move the scaffolding to the next part, and start all over again. Without pause. They still believe. I believed in taking it as a shortcut from main station to shopping street during rain :)

It also gave my hometown 'interesting' acoustics, because of this:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennert#/media/Datei:Bad_Godesb... & https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabenlay which reflected the sounds of ships on the Rhine, trains on both sides of it, right to where this picture was taken, and a little bit behind. All the times.

Why? Because they took the stones from there. And from all around it. But the Romans did it first.

The red flag I keep an eye out for is redemptive rejection: treating rejection of one's arguments, whether by a person or the evidence, as evidence for it.

Most commonly this comes in the form of false victimhood, e.g. look at how hard they are trying to shut me down. Other times it manifests like this. The problem is it's a logical attractor; whatever belief it first attaches to, it monotonically increases faith in.
I doubt it's actually calling out to the CLI (aka the shell); presumably it's just fork()ing and exec()ing.

On Linux, fork() is actually reasonably fast, and if you're exec()ing a binary that's fairly small and doesn't need to do a lot of shared library loading, relocations, or initialization, that part of the cost is also fairly low (for a Rust program, this will usually be the case, as they are mostly-statically-linked). Won't be as low as crossing a FFI boundary in the same process (or not having a FFI boundary and doing it all in the same process) of course, but it's not as bad as you might think.

That's a pretty wild interpretation of the child-free life. From the other side, that description of a weekend with kids sounds incredibly boring, but I know from my friends and family that do have children that they genuinely get a lot of depth from those experiences. And even I enjoy that occasionally.

It sounds like you project a lot onto what you think the other side experiences. And you also seem upset that there are people that don't make the same choices as you about how to live their lives.

I can assure you that, for many, it's not about fear, over-consumption, leisure and gluttony. And I encourage you to learn more about that, especially in the event that one of your own children decides to be child-free themselves.

One book that I found helpful is called The Baby Decision: How to Make the Most Important Choice of Your Life. Some of it is obvious, but it really goes over both sides really well. It helped me come to terms with my decision to not have kids, and also helped me really understand why some people do have that drive.

Now I have a healthy circle of friends that include both child-free and people with children. And for a lot of us, we don't dislike kids, we just don't want to raise them.
There was a whole fiasco with Toyota Camries maybe 15 or so years ago where the brakes would go out. It turned out that Toyota skimped out on thick enough wires or wire insulation and either the wire connecting the brakes to the pedal wore out or the insulation wore out and caused the brake wire to short. They chose the wiring they did to save something like 2 cents a unit (each Camry).

Last time I checked, web-browsers today still do not allow you to style the appearance of built-in HTML validation messages [1]; this wouldn't be so bad if Chrome (and Firefox) still conformed to their OS platform UI guidelines (i.e. so it looks system-generated, like how `title=""` tooltips used to be), instead Chrome uses this ugly yellow/orange icon color with black-text on a white background on a bubble with a fixed corner border radius - it clashes horribly with my current project's aesthetics.

[1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5328883/how-do-i-style-t...

Annoyingly, Chrome used to allow styling of validation-messages using vendor-prefixed pseudoelement selectors, but they removed that functionality and never brought it back; I'll chuck this on the same pile as other arbitrary annoyances like "can we have a native HTML combo-box please" and "why is <select multiple> still a horribly unusable ctrl+click box instead of a checkbox-list?".
> So that means one has to target both GTK and Qt to be native on Linux.

There ought to just be a property named something like `defer-validation` that does the right thing. But I'm sure I'm not the first person to suggest it, there's presumably some logistical or technical difficulty.

If I'm making a wish list I'd also like to point a property at a handler function that accepted a `string` and returned a `string | null` (or at least a `nonempty string | empty string`) rather than using an onchange handler, but it is what it is.

Right, that's exactly the idea. You could build your own CGI-like hosting platform using WfP to run untrusted JavaScript.

To be clear the two caveats don't apply to WfP. The cache API is disabled there. The origin thing can be solved by installing an "outbound worker", which intercepts all outbound requests from the untrusted workers and so can block unwanted requests to origin.
> And yet, empirically, jank is far more common on Wayland than X11

It depends on the type of jank you're talking about. It's wholly disingenuous to characterize Wayland as janky but x11 as not - the jank inherent to x11 is what made the original Xorg developers start making Wayland in the first place. Empirically, if x11 was perfectly fine there would be no motivation to design a successor.

x11 gets the first-mover advantage of a lot of implementations and a straightforward design goal, but that's about it. It's not secure enough to recommend as a serious alternative to Mac and Windows users, and it's too slow and unopinionated to present a friendly face to new users. Features like 1:1 trackpad gestures, genuine HDR pipelines and a locked compositor framerate are all getting to the point that regular consumers expect them as default.

If you want to keep using x11, it's unlikely someone is going to take it away from you. But it's on track for depreciation and hasn't been actively developed in years. Recommending it as a panacea to new users is a bad idea.
For hospitals in general, there would also have been stories of the vivisections and general human experimentation that began around the turn of the century and (probably?) saw its gruesome peak at war-time (one or the other).
