You can get both great quality and low latency by using wired headphones and microphones.

It may be less common, but it's where Kubernetes got its term 'pod.' Docker's mascot is a whale, Kubernetes manages groups of related Docker containers … pod!
These graphs appear to show that real, inflation-adjusted median-income is higher for Gen Z that it was for Millenials, higher for Millenials than it was for the 'Oregon Trail' cohort, higher for the 'Oregon Trail' kids than it was for Gen X, higher for Gen X than the Baby Boomers and higher for the Baby Boomers than for the Silent Generation.
Are his figures false, or is it possible that there is another factor at work? Maybe we look back at our youth with rose-coloured glasses, and maybe we look up to those older than us and fail to see how hard they worked to get where they are. I remember that my first apartment was a dive; I just now looked it up and see that it has been completely renovated, is appointed like a luxury flat and is only 36% higher in real dollars. That is not terrible. A quick check on Zillow shows units available in my original price range not that far away, in a town which is far more desirable than it was decades ago.
Edit: ah, I see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24662058 has the same graphs. I think my commentary and own figures are interesting, so I will leave them.
Once I saw that they expended significant resources and thought on changing 'Master Password' to 'Primary Password,' I knew that there was no hope for them. They are fundamentally unserious.

This is even worse. 'As such, comments on the bug outside of those which advance completing the task at hand will be removed.' In other words, dissent will not be tolerated.
This looks way more legible to me:

I think there's a huge win in having a more man-readable, machine-computable format that JSON or Jsonnet: as the system and the tooling grow, I think eventually the Jsonnet will become an unreadable mess of spaghetti (some might argue the example already is!), while a well-thought-out S-expression alternative would not, I think, have the same problem.

Might that not be a problem, though? Shouldn't more software systems be small, elegant and well-architected rather than a spaghetti nightmare navigable only through an IDE?
I like types, I think they are great, I like editor tool, I think it is great. I even like a lot of the luxuries modern systems afford me. But … maybe we could stand a little simplification?
Yup, and that's a good part of the problem with central planning and autarky. There is just too much going on for any one decision-maker to effectively handle.
There is a lesson there for large companies, I think. OTOH, go too far with decentralisation and you have Google's 8 or 9 different messaging systems …
These are not really my own style, but they are undoubtedly tasteful. A project could do worse than to take advantage of them.
Just the first Google hit — I didn't do any thorough vetting other than it doesn't appear to be propaganda.

I am pretty sure that what he wrote was ‘If þe land afford you bread, and þe sea yeeld you fish, rest you a while contented, God will one day afford you better fare.’ The letter which is sometimes confused for ‘y’ is actually ‘þ’ (thorn), which in current English orthography is written ‘th.’
Me, I þink þat we should go back to using þ.
Which article or amendment of the U.S. Constitution forbids a state to leave without permission of the U.S.?
Less obviously, many (perhaps most) people want cages for themselves. They don't trust themselves to make adult decisions, or simply don't want to be responsible for their choices. There is security to three hots & a cot, just as there is security to the iOS App Store. What's missing is not security but liberty.
And folks don't just want cages for their foes and themselves; they want not to be confronted with it. Just note the downvotes any post about the lack of freedom on iOS will get.
Does it? Maybe the right answer is not to make all decisions in one place: maybe the right answer is to let every citizen make his or her own decisions. The one who is willing to trade the emotional cost of moving back in with his loving family in order to have more money for lunches with friends does so, while the one with abusive parents chooses to cancel cable rather than moving back in — and so forth.
> We might also want to consider why pensioners are living off of complex financial relationships instead of, like, cash
Because storing all of one's life savings under the mattress is susceptible to theft. Even taking a broader definition of 'cash' to include a bank account, would you at age 60, with another 20 years to live, rather be earning 0.06% (the current savings account rate) or 1% (or more) per annum? At 0.06%, one would need about $100,000,000 to earn the $64,000 median U.S. income in interest. Alternatively, if you figure that you will live a maximum of 50 more year, you will need over $3 million in order to retire and just spend the money. You gotta invest to have something to live off of.
If 'we' forgive rent owed landlords, will 'we' also forgive the mortgages those landlords owe the banks? Will 'we' also forgive the obligations the banks which owe to other banks and their investors? Will 'we' also forgive the obligations those investors owe, for example to pensioners? Will 'we' then step up and pay for those pensioners' food and … rent?
An economy is a gigantic web of interlocking relationships. It takes years (one might even say centuries!) to build and develop all of those, but it takes far less effort to destroy them. It is computationally impossible for anyone to understand all of an economy, and thus impossible for anyone to make good decisions on behalf of an entire economy.
If we are worried about folks without resources, we should give them some. Yes, that runs the risk of encouraging those who want to get those resources (e.g. student financial aid encourages the growth of the academic industry, mortgage assistance encourages the growth of the real estate industry &c.): we should probably just give the poor some amount of money and let them make their own decisions about it. Call it unemployment or UBI or whatever.
What I find works is to timebox or budget my video consumption, say to lunchtimes, or no more than 30 minutes a day (which is still quite a bit of time: 1/16th of my daily free time!).
Ditto. Whenever I see someone wearing them I make a point of locking eyes, then smirking. AirPods and similar headphones are an upscale version of a face tattoo. They are like a South Park parody come to life.
I firmly believe that in twenty years we will look back at them in chagrin, like bell bottoms and bowl haircuts.
And yet that is how the Wright brothers invented flight … and a few decades later we made it to the moon!
Doesn't it? I think that there are plenty of folks who want to make things more complicated, because complicated things are fun, while just making things work can be a pain but also boring.
