IDK man, when I think of standard connectors I think of clunky junk: CCS which was all engineering and no focus on human centered design with its clunky connector that also wiggles in ports.

all of the USB connectors including USB-C, with it mandate to support so many different edge cases that cause cables to not always be compatible with each other defeating the purpose.

Bluetooth again with so many edge cases that made it terrible until Apple came along and cut a lot of that out in their solution finally made it tolerable.

Hell even a lot of electrical connectors (such as the US outlet) suck: developed in that way due to historical interests, it looks terrible, is not entirely safe (ie. ground does not go in first) and now has stuff bolted on to make up for its shortfalls. (GFCI, in line fuses etc.)

Now there are probably loads of terrible proprietary connectors but it seems like the free market eventually takes care of disposing of the chaff. That itself is a forcing function to get to a better design that users will like. Whereas you have no choice of a standardized connector because some "standards body" made up of opposing interests artificially keeps lousy designs around and forces it upon the population.

Im not arguing for one or the other but its just annoying that standards bodies always seem to get a pass when in my experience they produce a lot of mediocre stuff.
But Reddit isn't discriminating against certain races, ethnicities, or religions. Individual subreddit admins are discriminating on the basis of identity. This no different than creating a Discord server or IRC chat channel where you only let in your church friends. Reddit isn't refusing service on the basis of protected class. Reddit users are doing so.
All the men I know hung out on discord and played video games together during covid. All the wives and girlfriends cruised instagram. It was clear which was better for mental health. Video Games + Discord isn't perfect, but a lot of (mostly men) got a ton of socializing during covid via that.

> If the market sucks so much for 5+ years and your government can’t get it pumped back up, you probably have a bigger problem than your retirement savings, such as food and energy and security shortages.

The S&P500 was flat or negative from 2000 to 2012. And this isn't unusual.

> It would be bold to bet against a government not constantly decreasing the purchasing power of its currency to prop up asset prices, especially with declining proportions of young people. The political apparatus will want to maintain old people’s position at the top of the social hierarchy, and if their purchasing power isn’t maintained so they can keep buying the fruits of others’ labor, it means the country is dissolving.

How does the government decreasing the purchasing power help old people?

This is quite the opposite, retirees survive off of a fixed income (mainly from welfare and pensions but also fixed income investments since they shouldn't risk the stock market) and are the most hurt by inflation.

Here's the list of my benchmark targets: https://github.com/pretzelhammer/using-rust-in-non-rust-serv...

Vegeta, the tool I used for benchmarking, iterates through all those targets round-robin style while attacking the server and then averages the results when reporting the average response size in bytes (and it only measures the size of the response body, it doesn't include other things like headers).

Even using the same library and same compression algorithm not all 200px by 200px QR code PNGs will compress to the same size. How well they can be compressed depends a lot on the encoded piece of text as that determines the visual complexity of the generated QR code.

Starlark is great, but so is Scala. People underestimate how big the ecosystem is even for a niche language like Scala:

- Global publishing and distribution infrastructure

- IDE support in multiple IDEs

- A huge ecosystem of third party packages, both Scala and Java

- An excellent Scala standard library and Java standard library

- Good performance.

- Tooling! Jprofiler is great. Others use Yourkit or JFR.

- Mill leans havily on Scala's FP/OO hybrid style with types, while starlark provides none of that and is purely untyped procedural code
That's the latch, not a key. Keying prevents putting the wrong plug in a receptacle. Usually that's done with notches on the receptacle and ridges on the plug.
> Kyiv has hit more-advanced S-400 systems, including strikes in May and in August that destroyed components or entire air-interceptor complexes.

As they say in the article - shooting down a Cold-War era USSR SAM site isn't very impressive when Ukraine has been doing the same to Russia's modern S-400 system. That's a real embarrassment - the S-300 was never designed by the current regime so it probably just contributes to the Kremim's S-400 upsell when Iran asks about SAM imports again.
Is the complete lack of accessibility still the giveaway? Last I looked Flutter was a complete nonstarter for accessibility.
Reddit is not a place of public accommodation. It's a private web company. And furthermore, Reddit isn't the one doing the banning. It's Reddit users that are blocking members from their subreddit. The rest of Reddit is free to be browsed by said users.

That's why I proposed the paradox. At what tipping point does the arranger become the speaker?

Read 230.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.

230 says you can moderate however you like and what you choose to leave up doesnt become your own speech through endorsement osmosis.

I agree with 230 to a point, but at some extreme it can be used to misrepresent speech as "someone elses." Similar to how the authors of newspapers wouldnt be the speaker of a ransom note because they contributed one letter or word, and it woild be absurd to claim otherwise.

If the arranger is the speaker, restrictions on free speech apply to their newly created context. Accountability applies.
This is also where I really dislike a lot of this more recent push toward automating communication.

One person deciding what needs to be said, to whom, and when, can have a LOT of leverage in the productivity department, by reducing the time that tens or even hundreds or thousands of other people lose to coping with the fire hose.

Microsoft Copilot has been yet another downgrade in this department. Since it got adopted at my job, I've seen a lot of human-written 3-sentence updates get replaced with 3-page Copilot-generated summaries that take 10 minutes to digest instead of 10 seconds.

I think the categorical imperative stops you from harming others, but not from profiting. It is based on free will, after all, so it's not against the individual per se.

But to continue your other line of reasoning: there's always someone who profits, and obviously not everybody can profit. There is always a difference. Therefor it cannot be immoral, because it is unavoidable. It is however right to strive for minimal consequences of this difference (in wealth).
Thanks, that's helpful! The color selector on the far right
is mostly there to let you change which color you're editing if you're not interested in the mockup preview on the far left, and to add new colors. You can mostly ignore it if you'd rather select colors by clicking on the mockup.

For what you're supposed to do, you're meant to drag the points or curves in the hue/saturation/lightness columns to customize the colors swatches to create your own custom palette. The mockup will update as you make changes and warn you if there's any accessibility contrast issues. You can click elements on the mockup to select colors to edit and check their color contrast.

Does that help at all? Any more hints on what part wasn't obvious and what would make it more obvious? I could hide the color selector by default maybe? Add better labels or hints?

Isn't that pretty much just d7 without the d7 EoL? Better to migrate a d7 site to it (assuming a rebuild with current Drupal is too much work or doesn't have necessary modules) than run d7 despite EoL, but I'm not sure it makes sense to spin up a new site using it over current Drupal.
Funny how accessibility seems to be both. Too complex and manpower-sucking to actually fully support, and cheap, because someone need his argument to work. As a VoiceOver (blind) iOS user (since 13 years or so) I submit you are underestimating the complexity of something like shipping a screen reader for every device you put out. Yes, there are days where I hope the Accessibility Team had more resources to fix obviously long-standing issues, but that doesn't let me forget what a gracius gesture it originally was to say "Fuck ROI, we're going to be the first to do this."
I think by keyed it isn't just "can't be plugged in upside down" but also "can't be plugged into the other plug that's basically the same but connects to some other subsystem."

Ideally a system like this would let you select some per-subsystem physical lockout mechanism.
Having a large number of devs spot fixing issues as they come up without a deep understanding of the codebase is how you turn a maintainable project into a mess.

>It is a distinction stemming from real world practice. You wont fail a drug test at work and be fired due to alcohol. You wont get shunned and kicked out thanksgiving for having a glass of wine.

it doesn't really work like that in practice though - there are plenty of 'drugs' that won't ruin your life or social-status, and they're not all listed separately like alcohol.

I'm a firm believer that the reason the linguistics that we now use came about was due to the legalities of the substances involved and the market action. Alcohol is big business, and legal -- so it deserves a distinction. That's about the singular distinction. The market was allowed to push phrases into the public purview, and luckily for them the phrases stuck.

During western prohibition it (alcohol) was called 'poison' or 'narcotic', or 'intoxicant' in the propaganda.

The google ngrams viewer verifies this suspicion; the phrase ' drugs and alcohol ' wasn't in (real) use until much later in American history.[0]

> The S&P500 was flat or negative from 2000 to 2012. And this isn't unusual.

At its worst, 1999 to 2009, SP500 total annual return was only -0.2%, per dqdyj. Thats really good considering the upside (which has since been realized), and it shows that the government is willing to pull out all the stops if the market is down just -0.2%.

> How does the government decreasing the purchasing power help old people?

Old people are likelier to have assets and/or fixed income from assets (such as defined benefit pension funds). The government can also increase Social Security benefits quicker than wages in the market. The government also can maintain current benefits and reduce them for younger people by increasing the retirement age and adjusting the “bend points” in the benefit formula.

Of course, the poorest old people won’t benefit as much, but there’s a solid contingent of old people who do have at least real estate in their home, if not investments in the broader market that are very politically active.

> mainly from welfare and pensions but also fixed income investments since they shouldn't risk the stock market) and are the most hurt by inflation.

They shouldn’t be in fixed income for expenses needed beyond 10 years. I’d even be so bullish as to say 5 years. The demographic changes of the population pyramid flattening and turning down just started hitting economies in the 2000s. I don’t see any other way out for governments, so your goal is to tread water, you at least want to be invested in whatever the politicians are going to backstop (which is evidently not USD or fixed income, but rather equities).

> Wordpress.org is not part of the 501(c)(3). They tried, but the IRS turned them down.

My interpretation of their story [1] is that holding the WordPress trademark wasn't enough for 501(c)(3) status, so they had to do something educational like promoting free software.

They transferred the trademark once they received 501(c)(3) status, and could have transferred the operation of dot org too if they wanted.

I believe the consensus among the moderate community is that Matt continues to hold onto dot org for "control", just like how the Foundation's board mostly comprises Matt's friends, and never had actual external community involvement.

Ignoring the more irritating leftists for a moment, most of the left is grappling with finding solutions to real problems. It's not "fuck you, change your life to stop global warming". It's "oh shit, we need to stop global warming and dramatic actions are needed. What do we do?". They are questions in need of answers, and no one is going to like all of the answers. No one ever does. Some answers may be authoritarian, but it's not a desire for authoritarianism driving these ideologies, it's a desire for solutions and too many people have a blind eye to the consequences of their proposed solutions.

Maybe that's too forgiving of a take, but I think you're take is too accusatory.

The right just openly supports authoritarianism for authoritarianism's sake.
For context, they issued that statement on a Friday and on the following Monday the regulators officially charged with them with violating the DMA over steering and App Store fees.

It seems reasonable in that light to have pumped the brakes on new iOS features when the DMA also targets bundling apps and services and iOS is labeled a gatekeeper.
Freight doesn't generally use bypasses or sidings anymore. It's part of the "Precision Scheduled Railroading" movement to optimize operating ratio above all other concerns - mostly because freight train executives and investors believe that railroads are in long-term terminal decline and thus capex spending or going after new customers is a waste of time. (This is a bit glib but not that far from the truth).

Freight in the US optimizes for minimal crew hours. That means longer consists that no longer fit in sidings. Expanding sidings costs money and is thus verboten.

Even if the freight takes 3x as long to get somewhere they can have each crew take a leg then leave the train unattended. The railroad doesn't need to pay for overnight stays or overtime and only one or two crews are "active" in a given segment ever. Or to put it another way the limit is "we are paying for one crew on this segment of the line". Freight lines up on either side as that limit of 1xCrew shuttles whatever they can back and forth within that segment. Then you make the consists longer and longer to "buffer" the bottleneck.

I assume part of the "enforcement" issue is US DOT would need to order the railroad to back trains up or do other nonsensical things that would only create more chaos and delays because as I mentioned most consists can't fit on existing sidings anymore and AFAIK the law has no provision to order the railroads to extend the sidings nor order them to do the physically impossible.

> Most people don't realize how many apps written in Flutter they use daily, simply because it's impossible to tell

You can't be serious. Maybe on Android, but on other platforms—especially iOS—they stick out like a sore thumb.

A number of them just look like Material Design Android apps awkwardly transplanted over, but I know that's down to the developer so I won't hold that against Flutter. But scrolling through the Flutter showcase[0] and calling those apps up to look at screenshots on the App Store—none of them look like native iOS apps. They don't look bad (mostly), but they don't fit in.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect anyone else to care or even notice. But for those of us that do care, you can absolutely tell.

I guess flutter web is the "hook" because it promises a "true" cross platform stack, even though imo it is still very lacking.
On the other hand, QT on mobile (iOS, android) is also a bit weird, and comes with lots of restrictions and gotchas. And it basically does not have any support for web apps (except for some super recent, very experimental wasm platform support, that would probably be even worse than the "app on canvas" experience that flutter web offers)
simply adding required is all you need.Not required=true The omission is equal to required=false. No one really write required=true, they just add the attribute `required` only by its self. This is one of the odd quarks about html attrs

Same is true for things like disabled ect
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Boolean/HT...

> The strings "true" and "false" are invalid values. To set the attribute to false, the attribute should be omitted altogether. Though modern browsers treat any string value as true, you should not rely on that behavior.

in other words required=false may still end up making the field required. FYI.
How can laymen evaluate the merit of cited sources, particularly in matters pertaining to medicine and nutrition? All the personalities, spokespeople, advocates, activists, etc in this space all provide citations which they say back up their claims. A lot of them are lying, their claims don't appear in the cited articles, so that's easy to detect if you click through and read each one carefully, but many of the rest do cite articles saying what they claim and it's still just junk science. They do this because they know "cites sources" is a popular heuristic.

Like I can find people promoting magnetic bracelets to align my Chi and they will be citing supposedly scientific articles which supposedly back up their claims. In extreme cases like that I can feel pretty confident that it's bullshit. But the relative health benefits of eating berry A or berry B? It seems intractable. I'm left with trusting my instincts and common sense.
> I would totally expect the interviewer to push back

Are you confusing expectation with desire? I can understand why you might prefer to listen to a podcast like that – and nothing says you can't – but that isn't necessarily on brand with the specific product in question.

In the same vein, you might prefer fine dining, but you wouldn't expect McDonalds to offer you fine dining. It is quite clearly not the product they sell.

So, I guess the question is: What is it about "People I (Mostly) Admire" that has given you the impression that it is normally the metaphorical fine dining restaurant and not the McDonalds it turned out to be here?
