> the 90th percentile of what?

It could be the 90th percentile of science and the 60th percentile of literature and the 40th percentile of music. But if they throw you in with the 50th percentile kids in all cases then you're being held back in science and literature and you're holding back the other kids in music.

> schools introduce us to a wide range of children who are representative of the people we’re going to have to deal with later on in life.

This is why home school families come together so their kids can socialize with one another.
> The reality is, very little of the actual natural food in our food chain is directly linked to cancer.

Natural things aren't inherently safer. Are alcohol and red meat both considered natural? Alcohol is a group 1 carcinogen (same as tobacco and asbestos) and red meat is group 2A (probably linked to cancer). A cursory search shows some studies linking fish consumption to cancer, though I have no idea how accurate those studies are.
Just that we consider "others," (with the exception of a close entourage) to be "non-player characters." Basically, shallow simulacrums, with no feelings, standalone, not connected with others, and that can be "disposed of," or "forgotten," with no personal consequences.

We don't have to allow anyone other than ourselves, any agency or consideration.

That makes it very easy to reduce everyone else into one-dimensional caricatures, easy to attack, dismiss or neglect.

Like I said, this has always been a feature of normal human tribalism, but it seems to have gotten a shot of steroids, sometime recently.

I have found, for myself, that closely interacting with as many others as possible; especially ones that challenge me, has helped me to avoid that.
I think one factor is that technology makes it a lot easier to do.

There are lots of online resources, online courses, tutors who do remote tutoring (I do not think i could have found my daughter a Latin teacher locally very easily, for example), lots of courses both for conventional qualifications (my kids did (I)GCSEs - just as kids do in British schools, (except at schools they do them at 16, we spread them out with my older daughter doing her first when she was 11) and just to learn (e.g. MOOCs).
Trump is actually very, very whatever will get Trump elected or whatever was last whispered in his ear.

could be worse, much worse. do you have something specific in mind?
The basic Econ answer is that there is a limited supply of labor and firms will raise salaries in order to attract labor and capture more profit from the increased productivity. From that perspective your question is similar to "My product got 10x cheaper to make but customers still experience the same benefit so why should they pay less?" In both cases the simple capitalist theory answer is markets.

You can see a corollary to this across the whole economy in the Baumol effect, where industries with no productivity gains see labor costs rise as a result of competition with more productive industries for scarce labor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect

Of course it turns out firms do have a lot of power over employees for various reasons which they use to suppress wages as much as possible but its still bounded.

Another perspective is that workers are also consumers and an economy that doesn't increase compensation will have limited ways to capitalize on increased productivity because there will be little increase in domestic consumption. You can't really export a hole you dug so its good for everyone if workers see benefits from productivity gains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand-led_growth
> they can handle approving changes to the amount of credit in America

The Fed doesn't control the amount of credit in America. It influences it by influencing rates by controlling how many assets it owns.

You want the Congress dictating buy/sell orders for Treasuries (and whatever other assets they can think of) to the Fed? At that point just go full MMT [1].

Because we live in a world of Sovereign States, where the point of discrimination very much is between Citizen and Non-Citizen? You free to renounce your citizenship and live without the Protections of the Government, there are many who would be quite happy with that to take your wealth freely then :)

The only people thinking in such a arrogantly privileged manner ironically are Westerners, try saying this crap in China or India and people will laugh at you all day. Or I doubt this poster has the best interests of Americans in mind either.
On Wikipedia, it says he chose red because:

> The Chinese name was inspired by two pivotal institutions in its co-founder Charlwin Mao's career journey that both feature red as their primary color: Bain & Company, where he worked as a consultant, and Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he earned his MBA.

I would guess that the association to Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong was intentional but he just said that for plausible deniability.
The whole purpose of Gaia is to precisely measure the position of stars (and other objects). Once positions are known, a 3D model can be built. But how are the distances measured? The answer is parallax, essentially triangulation. You look for very small changes of position against the background sky. You use the width of the earth's orbit as the baseline and measure at different times of the year.
> you are safe if your rsync is only via secure connections

Not quite. If server has "command=rsync ..." in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, for some ssh key (to allow rsync access, but deny shell access), this vulnerability will allow attacker in possession of that ssh key to go around that restriction, and get shell nonetheless.

This one sounds a bit robotic and takes ~4 hours per book on my M1 laptop, so I'll keep looking. For now, I'm happy my current method - EPUBReader browser extension, which opens .epub as an HTML page in Microsoft Edge browser, which has a "Read Aloud" button set to the Stephan natural voice at 1.6 speed. Best sounding voice I've ever heard, speaks fast, clear, crisp, with natural inflections to the sentences, and if I want to jump to somewhere I just left click the text at that spot. And it's instant - no conversions. Downside is I have to stay in bluetooth range of my laptop, so I'm still looking for a good phone based method. Google Play Books works okay, but gets buggy at 1.6 speed.
I get that of course, but on the other hand I'm sure you know what I'm getting at too: users of certain languages, platforms etc feel the need to announce it as a point of pride, or feature in itself, and frequently. Every language will have this to some degree (with the possible exception of COBOL, lol), but there are definite outliers.
I still don't understand what alternative people are arguing in favor of. When I think of those "best in class" libraries like regex, serde, etc, those are multiple crates that are developed by the same teams. Having one massive crate or one hundred tiny crates is irrelevant here, because if they're all developed by the same contributors it does not increase your trusted computing base.

Imagine While Reasoning in Space: Multimodal Visualization-of-Thought
China is not a single-ethnicity country. For thousands of years, most of the time, the majority and minority ethnic groups have lived together on this land. There have been wars and integrations thousands times and thousans years. this must be hard for you to understand, right? I can understand that you might unconsciously use your own history to comprehend the history of Asia. In addition, all forms of ethnic separatism have the support of the United States. But I think you already know this.

BTW, the Qing Empire is rule by a minority ethnic(满族)

And, by race, we are all Asians, can you understand the difference?

You are like comparing the genocide of Native Americans to a war between two Native American tribes.

Antiestablishment-types supporting an ideology like Maoism is at least something I can understand. Antiestablishment-types expressing their loyalty to the establishment of a foreign adversary is significantly more concerning.
I disagree; you don't balance on a bike, you adjust the balance point under the bike as it tips to one side and the other with pressure. This is why beginners "S" their way at the start, then get finer grain control. This is similar to skiing, where you don't balance on top but keep pressure applied to an edge.
I mean, this technique is so well-established that there is a thriving market of balance bikes which are purpose-made for it. What is with tech people and the need to talk about every new thing they learn about like it's an original discovery?

(unfortunately this method only really works on paved surfaces, so the scary way was probably the best option available for me growing up in the sticks.)
Is it? Congress has the authority to regulate international trade. If TikTok was shipping books into the USA no one would be arguing whether it would be constitutional to ban them or not. The constitution hasn't been updated for the internet and smartphones but they absolutely can be governed the same way, as courts have ruled over and over again.
So they stole EV IP and then created better and cheaper versions of cars that most Americans and German companies don’t sell?

Two buddies and I built a private “landline” network for their kids (~9 year olds) and their kids’ friends. We used analog phones and VoIP components, so there’s no screens or anything like that. It’s been cool seeing kids go from begging to use the family iPad after school to running to the home phone to dial their friends.

We ended up turning it into a network others can join[1] after other families started to ask about it. Having over a hundred local families join within a few weeks has given me hope that the next generation isn’t just condemned to live in a social-media-saturated hell, or that smartphones will inevitably be a part of kids’ lives earlier and earlier.

Even developers with "few" dependencies often lean on projects (languages, frameworks, etc) where there are hundreds of dependencies.
Bytes is essentially multiple slices over a optimistically single contiguous arc buffer. It's basically the inverse of what the root comment is after (an array of buffers). It's a rather strange crate because network IO doesn't actually need contiguous memory.

std does actually have a vague version of what the root comment wants: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.IoSlice.html and its sibling IoSliceMut (slicing, appending, inserting, etc. is out of scope for both - so not usable for rope stuff)
I mean there's an irony inherent in the way the Supreme Court works in the modern American era: judicial review is not present anywhere in the Constitution, and yet the Supreme Court uses it to uphold or strike down law according to the Constitution. It's inherently a broken branch of government and it was a mistake for the Democrats to base the last 50-70 years of social progress on leveraging it.

Credit doesn't demand growth. It is completely viable in a steady state economy. You just need a loss elsewhere to offset it.

As someone who enjoys lifting weights, I agree with you. However, I can easily imagine an argument based on all of the strange add-on effects you get from being immersed in "gym culture". Working out isn't just working out, it means you start getting fitness posts in your social media algorithms, surrounding yourself with a new group of people with potentially different views on masculinity, shilling supplements, etc.

Aka don't ignore the social side of fitness.
Not really. Mao's book has been known as the "Little Red Book" in English for decades, well before the app existed.

And the characters for "小红书" directly and literally translate to "little", "red", and "book". It's the most literal and obvious translation of the name, no agenda needed. Go ask any Chinese person.

The app didn't even have an English name until recently. It was just "小红书" which any Chinese person would render in English as "Little Red Book". "RedNote" is a recent branding exercise.
I mean, nix isn't solving any problems that can't be solved without. This can be said about nearly anything in your universe.

The point is: flakes are solving issues now in nix, and nothing else _right now_ can solve them in nix. I'm using flakes because they are currently the best path forward. Provide an alternative path that is better, and I will switch.

Agreed. IG's UI for this is horrible.

I really liked Google+'s "Circles" feature back in the day that let you drag and drop people into different groups really easily and 'assign' posts/content to those circles.
That's making a false analogy and is a logical fallacy trying to compare the two. Finding ways to level international trade to ensure fair trading and equal access to markets is definitely within the government's purview to do and within the national interests of our country.

One rule that I would like to see implemented to equalize trade is to not allow foreign citizens or corporations to be able to purchase real estate in this country or become majority shareholders in any corporation if the country of their citizenship or incorporation does not allow the same reciprocity. It is foolish to allow this kind of imbalanced ownership to happen.
You do realize that in vast majority of all countries, all major social media platforms are owned by foreign companies?

There seems to be a real risk of propaganda on Tiktok, but foreign ownership alone isn't a sound reason for a ban.

I've been working on a Django + Vite + HTMX + Alpine project for the past year or so

Using django-htmx and django-vite libs (the latter forked to add Jinja support)

Been pretty happy with it

The main wart I find is the lack of type-safe templating in Python, feels primitive and clunky compared to what you have with TSX in a React project

Been using Jinja macros as 'components' which... works. The syntax is kinda ugly to read though, and haven't found any really great linter.

In essence, you need two instances of VSCode running connected to two separate Docker container instances. As I understand it, it's one remote container per VSCode window. Thus, I found this to be best, even though it isn't strictly speaking necessary, but it ends up feeling that way because as you said the language server integration (intellisense and extensions) will not work properly if not connected to the right container.

If you load this up in vs code it should prompt you properly given the presence of the files in `.devcontainter` dir. Having two windows in VSCode is kind of annoying at first, but I found it was actually fine, especially on macOS where tabbing to the other VSCode window (as opposed to ungrouped alt+tab on windows) was painless, and also kept me more organized not having backend and frontend code right next to each other.
I don't want my children to have to learn at the pace of the bottom quintile. Obviously average and less-than-average people exist. But I will _not_ be hamstringing my kids to placate the whims of the state or some "modern" moral standard. I know how harmful it is because I went through it.

> Is it really hundreds of single-type + single-function crates?

No, and I think this is the crucial thing that people who have experience with NPM overlook when it comes to Rust. Rust emphatically does not have a culture of single-function microlibraries, instead libraries are split out by purpose, in the same way you would modularize a C codebase.

Remember, Rust crates are not just units of distribution, they are also units of translation (a.k.a. compilation units), so the same pressures that cause people to split C projects into multiple files results in people splitting Rust projects into multiple crates.
By observation the current approach is for authors to narrate the book themselves of they think their readers will want it and if they feel reasonably confident in their own narration.

"Taking the pedals off the bike" advice for language learning:

- Learn pronunciation first

A lot of people never master a native (or semi-native) accent, but if you sit down and figure it out, it's easier than it seems at first. Getting the native pronunciation down matters because otherwise you literally can't distinguish between certain words, and it will be a habit you'll never unlearn. It makes everything else easier. It also gives you massive cred with native speakers who will overlook your atrocious grammar and paltry vocab because "wow, you sound good! I'm impressed." It's taken both as a sign of respect and that you're putting in the effort, and makes you punch above your actual weight. This does wonders for confidence and makes you less shy about trying to learn by speaking & listening, which is crucial.

Gabriel Wyner does a good job explaining it in his book "Fluent Forever" (his method is pretty cool too but I have some critiques of it overall, "learn pronunciation first" is the best single lesson to transfer to other language learning methodologies).
Yeah it's pretty hard! I made the game and I often can't get the ones I haven't already seen
I share your cynicism. Do you see any way out?

I feel the same way about the supreme court justices today as I do about Senators for lightly populated states: people operating with little oversight and with little to no accountability to the people who they hold power over. The bigger problem with the Supreme Court is that, largely, the political calculus is mostly cemented for life of the justice.

The only way out I see for the Supreme Court is a Congress and President who are focused on fixing the issue. But, it still feels general awareness of the Supreme Court issues are still to low and not universally felt- maybe in another 2-4 years.

The cynic in me wishes the Democrat appointed judges would start openly taking such large and egregious bribes too to make judicial term limits a bipartisan issue.
