I ended up switching to 'Simple Keyboard' for this exact reason. I've actually gotten a lot better at phone typing since I've been forced to do so. I can go nearly as fast as I used to, though I do have to keep the keyboard in my peripheral vision.
Phone keyboards aren't nearly as tiny as they were in the OG iPhone era!
The distinction between labor that requires significant existing training and labor that can learn on the job is a useful one. 'Skilled'/'unskilled' is really just a demeaning way of looking at how hard a given laborer would be to replace.
Whether a job must be done by someone one way or another is completely orthogonal. It's depressing how little value people place on the people who do what must be done. Child rearing is probably the archetypical example.
That's not devoid of truth, but there's more to it than that.
A pact of absolute partnership is a powerful thing when both parties truly believe in it. Physical intimacy has a huge and subtle effect on one's entire being, and restricting it isn't that crazy. Humans aren't the only animals which exhibit monogamy.
What is archaic is the opposition to normalizing polyamory as well. There are all kinds of harmful knock-on effects of a monogamy-only society, and people should have the freedom to choose without being ostracised simply for not conforming.
Anyone who thinks monogamy would not exist without social mores to enforce it is fooling themselves.
Plus creators get paid more per premium view than per ad-supported view.
The subtlety that people fall into with the YT hate wagon is that yes, Google is shitty and needs to be held accountable for it, but running a video site on that scale like some loving small community simply is not possible.
I love Nebula, the online video ecosystem is much richer for it, but every time I hear people hoping it can materially compete with YT I have to laugh. Not only do their quality controls not scale at all, but YT having such a low barrier to entry for anyone makes it inclusive in a way no curated community can be, especially over the long term. Nebula is literally an offshoot of YT, it won't be the last, and that's part of what's great about YT.
Now, if only we could convince some other conglomerate to light piles of cash on fire for over a decade to bootstrap a proper direct competitor, then Google would be forced to be somewhat less shitty.
'Need' as in why do they need to stretch their development resources to cover a video player when they're already stretched thin and perfectly serviceable alternatives exist.
I have no actual idea, but that's what was meant. My guess is they want everything written in Qt6 so it can all be portable to windows etc.
Liquid coolers are by definition just an extra heat exchange step unless you're venting heat into the ocean or something like a nuclear plant. Otherwise, the atmosphere is your final heat sink either way.
Unless a liquid cooling radiator is significantly larger than the air cooler that would fit directly on the CPU there's no point whatsoever.
What's being discussed here is the hiring of engineers rather than consumer choices. Hiring an engineer is absolutely an expression of trust. The business trusts that the engineer will be able to concretely realize abstract business goals, and that they will be able to troubleshoot any deviations.
AI writing code is one thing, but intuitively trusting that an AI will figure out what you want for you and keep things running is a long way off.
The thing with Ruby clusterfucks is you have to go looking for them. Languages with implicit type coercion and loose comparison like PHP and JS have clusterfucks lying in wait for you and it takes concerted effort to avoid them.
Ruby gives you all kinds of tools to make clusterfucks, but it's not hard to keep your hands out of the metaprogramming cookie jar.
But with careful application even fucky features can be put to good use. Like monkey-patching a problematic method to only throw an exception rather than allow accidental misuse. With a nice verbose error message and good testing practices there's almost no risk.
Android is Linux. It's funny because this is the rare case where Stallman's pedantry comes in handy. Android is absolutely not GNU/Linux, the OS family known as 'Linux', but the kernel is the Linux kernel.
If people don't see Android as bringing Linux to the masses (which I don't), then it's dubious SteamOS would either. If it's just a container for Steam, it's not really the same thing as Linux adoption. ChromeOS actually is GNU/Linux, but I doubt many would count that either.
Even so, more consumer products with Linux inside means more improvements that benefit everyone.
Entitlement seems to be a fundamemtal human condition. Look at how much traditional women's work is looked down upon. Society is simply not possible without child rearing, yet it is seen as incomparable to wage-generating work.
That's super interesting. I adore RPN on caclulators and had never heard any drawbacks well-articulated.
