Looking Past Words: Twitter Movement Helps People Notice Typefaces
The problem with anything but free speech is this: who decides what is "extreme"?

I heard from many news sources that a Trump victory was extremely unlikely. It turns out they were peddling falsehood.

I would be scared if what was legally permissable was limited to the conceptions and misconceptions of currently "mainstream" sources.
As a public policy, it should be encouraged as many people can't afford data plans. Basically their smartphone is their computer, and they go from hotspot to hotspot for data. I also agree with the public safety aspect as well, but either case requires consumer awareness and interest.

My Sony Xperia tablet has an FM tuner, but I had no idea it was there until I noticed the app. It works well with a wired headset. It was handy in Cuba (though everything was in Spanish) and a few other places where Internet wasn't available/practical to use. I don't know that it would affect my next purchase, but it does affect my perception of how user-hostile the manufacturer is.
Count me among those unwilling to be featured in an email, but I made this discovery very recently:

I have been dealing with a tremendous amount of anxiety for as long as I can clearly remember. After decades of a vicious cycle of procrastination and depression my ability to perform at an adequate level was entirely gone. I had this way about me that allowed me to appear very busy while accomplishing a criminally small number of tasks and never keeping any promises. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I lucked out by joining a team that was set up to enable this to continue.

After almost 10 years on the team and some treatment for the anxiety I realized that I was performing at less than 10% of my comfortable capacity. With the anxiety lessened, I could go back and trace the path it carved through my life. Regardless of performing in a way that should have had me fired years ago I still managed to be, by far, the most productive, well-informed, and pragmatic member of the team. I spoke with my manager and confirmed that he believed all of this and that, amazingly, he was actively moderating the amount of work sent my way because he was convinced I was overworked.

I had a sudden crisis because this meant that, as an entire team, we had trained ourselves to ignore how poor of a job we have been doing. If my 10% of capacity is that good then the entire team was underwater. Thankfully, my manager didn't try and deny it when I brought it to his attention. He also didn't notice it going on, but once I said the words it was like the clouds parted.

I predict some staffing and management style changes coming pretty soon. I'll call that a happy ending or at least a hopeful future!

Howdy! I work in cleantech, and I guess it's that time again for your wall of links about what you can do to fight climate change.

To start, here's my favorite climate change joke: "They say we won't act until it's too late... Luckily, it's too late!"

So what can you do about it?

Work at a new energy technology company! We are currently growing exponentially[1], and we need as many smart people as we can get. There are lots of companies hiring software engineers.

How do I find a job fighting climate change?

I'd recommend browsing the exhibitor and speaker lists from the most recent conference in each sector (linked below).

* Energy Storage[2][3]
* Solar[4][5]
* Wind[6]
* Nuclear[7]
* Electric Utilities[8][9]
* Electric vehicles[10]

Also, if you're in the SF bay area, I'd recommend subscribing to my Bay Area Energy Events Calendar[11]. Just start showing up to events and you'll probably find a job really quickly.

I think if they do regulate it, they should have a good reason for it.

All the reasons cited in this thread seem pretty bad. I say they are bad because when you apply the same reasons to regulating anything other than AirBnB, suddenly they don't seem like good reasons at all.
I used Kirby for a travel blog a year ago. I needed something lightweight, for which I could prepare material offline and then upload when I had connectivity. Android phone + bluetooth keyboard were the preparation tools.

Using Kirby was an enjoyable experience. Easy to setup, good docs. Easy to work with on the road. A copy of the blog on the phone and on a thumb drive.

I can't offer a comparison with other file-based cms. Didn't look around. Though I don't doubt there are other very capable offerings out there. Tried Kirby, found it to be a low fuss solution that met my needs and didn't mind paying the few quid to continue using it.

I also think Kevin hits the nail on the head regarding what makes speeding up Python difficult. It's the same thing that makes writing Python so enjoyable: the object model.
Sure, sometimes it's just a matter of survival. Get this code released by this date or we sink. That's an unfortunate place to be in, requires a lot of focus under stress and is rarely rewarded. It's gratifying for me to be successful in those circumstances, but too many of them and I have to find a saner place to work. Management starts to take miracles as the norm by planning them (if they even do) and it leads to burnout.
You have a big assumption in there that the "quieter more moderate voices" would exist at all in a society that didn't allow for "the grossest: the loudest, most attention grabbing, least useful speech".

What people focus on is a factor of the intelligence of the people filtering through this stuff. What even is allowed to exist is the result of holding to the inviolate nature of free speech.

Basically, I'm saying that you can't have the good without the bad.

edit: typo
Easy.

Absolute free speech in public property. Absolute owner control in private property. However you define property is irrelevant to the universal principle it holds.
What problem does this solve that isn't already handled by I2C etc?

I appreciate it is software-only, but if your hardware uses a different bus already using this seems like it would be futile. If you've got control over both ends, otherwise, and you're not constrained by any existing bus why would you just PJON over TCP/IP, UDP, or some other similar standard?

Struggling to see how this could be useful - what problem does it solve, exactly?

"blockchain-mail": I think that's where some kind of blockchain network would come handy.

> No, that is not what I'm claiming. I'm arguing for a normative claim: when people agree on the facts, they should not disagree on opinion.

I'm confused, isn't that exactly what the parent's argument is though? You said that's not what you're saying, and then repeat the exact same thing, contradicting yourself.

Personally I disagree with you, if I'm understanding correctly. To me, a huge chunk of the population, you included it would seem, believes that some things are no longer a matter of opinion, that 10 and 20 years ago everyone would have happily agreed are matters of opinion rather than matters of fact.

I dont have any connection to the company but for small webshops doing custom small-mid sized sites this is awesome. We have many sites built in kirby and its far better than any cms we have tried. And we tried everything.

Its something between static site generator and full blown database cms. Its easy to debug and you can deploy just with git.

There are other similar cmses Grav, Pico, Statamic. Kirby is the most mature and just works best.

Are you speaking from experience when you say it is not hard? Could you elaborate on what databases your are currently running on Kubernetes and how they are configured? Also are these production?

If I know number 1 and number 2 does that mean that I automatically understand all of the of the potential failure modes I might experience from combining 1 and 2? I certainly wouldn't think so.

I'm a "software engineer". My "bosses" trust me with solving non-trivial tasks that are interesting and not yet well understood. Maybe that makes me more of a scientist. I prefer to think of me that way.

Why anyone would work a job where they have to disengage their brain is beyond me. Maybe its out of necessity.

That being said, I'm not an employee and don't aspire to ever be one. Nobody has the authority to tell me how or what to do. I believe that murican law specifically bans companies from telling their contractors how to do their job, but you'd have to ask a lawyer about that.

So no scrummy agility for me, soz.

My academical background is physics/math (specifically, a bunch of computational stuff and topology/string theory if that helps). not things you can pick up over the weekend though. Contrary to popular belief, I apply that knowledge at work regularly.

I somewhat agree with your sentiment. If that's really what your job is like, you should get out of that.

Code should be reviewed, preferably by a different group of people who wrote the code, metrics are only useful for people to manage themselves. Upon review there should be immediate feedback to people who wrote it and if they continue to make the same errors, then you should eventually get rid of the person who wrote it. Making up stupid systems of control to "incentivize" people as a method of management is the stupidest thing rationalists ever cooked up. It destroys internal motivation and discipline.
Good point! Thanks for the feedback. I'd also like to eventually add daily goals, and perhaps have streaks for those as well.
The same as for any other car: road accidents, road maintenance and so on.

Most countries, in practice, actually subsidize car ownership by taking back in road tax less of what is actually spent on caring for externalities.

Add to that that, in most of Europe, population density is such that lots of people are actually able to live without a car. Buying a car if you live in a medieval city centre is 100% "for fun" and makes life awkward for everyone (parking and so on).

Vim keybindings are amazing. Easiest way to think of it is to think of how frustrating it is watching someone do everything with a mouse, not knowing any shortcuts. Clicking File -> Exit instead of the window's X. Or deleting a whole line of text just to change one word. Not knowing Ctrl-X/C/V.

That's how I feel when I work with someone editing text files without Vim.

Once again I'll recommend Vim Adventures[1]. It's fun enough even my 8-yr-old daughter wanted to play/learn. You learn a few keys at a time; no big deal. Meanwhile, install Vim emulation in your current text editor. Slowly you'll learn keys. Your desire for knowledge will increase, and you'll start picking up the ideas mentioned in the article. Within a few months you'll be flying and wonder how you ever coded without it.

The key is making it a natural thing, not forcing yourself to "learn Vim". At least for me, those approaches failed due to the short-term productivity decrease.

I find this issue to be particularly interesting. It's actually sort of similar to hacking laws, when framed in this way. It's legal to send an HTTP GET request to any web server you want. However, if you do some research and find that a specifically formed GET request crashes a particular web server, sending that GET request becomes illegal.

What you seem to be articulating is that there are known exploits in the software that runs our minds, and that the exploitation of those vulnerabilities ought to be made illegal in the same way that sending that maliciously crafted GET request is illegal.

It's an interesting argument to be sure, but it has obvious slippery slope implications.
I think is is true at the earlier stages of one's career. One you get older and have to start feeding a family, the idealism wears off and you start finding yourself compromising your morals and coding shit to make a deadline. But the company you work for pays you so well, coupled with the expert domain knowledge that makes you nearly irreplaceable, you become complacent. You are a fixed cog in the system. At this point "get out" is not in your best interests.
> Some developers who code really fast might appear like they're being extremely productive but behind the scenes, you end up having a whole team of developers who are just fixing that developer's bugs.

This is very prevalent at my job. There are a couple of developers who have a reputation of being really fast. "Wow, he closed 25 tickets the last hour!". In reality he mainly rejected them or made quick fixes which didn't work or created new bugs. A not insignificant amount of time in a recent project I had was focused on rewriting code said developer had written.

Source for your stats on exports to the US from Brazil for Beef and Soy, and the corresponding deforestation of the Amazon. Far as I can tell Brazil exports less than a tenth of what Australia, Canada and New Zealand do to the US.

http://www.thecattlesite.com/news/50023/cme-how-much-brazili...

>Although the maximum limit of Brazilian beef exported to the US could be 64,508 mt, based on market competition it is very unrealistic to think Brazil would overtake the full quota. Longer term (in 2020) these TRQ’s are scheduled to change, and could give Brazil a higher volume ceiling.

>To put this in perspective, in 2015 the US imported 570,740 mt of beef from Australia, 299,955 mt tons from New Zealand, and 285,036 mt from Canada (to name our top 3 sources) for an annual total of 1.5 million mt.

I'd imagine Asia is the major importer of Brazilian Beef, I could be wrong, but don't think so
Mermaid: UNDETECTABLE and CUSTOMIZED Exploits for Metasploit
All you are really saying is that currently the law often prohibits AirBnB and does not prohibit renting to non-whites. I'm saying that the law should do neither one.

Kasey_junk - if I understood him correctly - was arguing that the law should not be changed because "the people who bought assuming they weren't going to live next to a hotel have a reasonable expectation to have a say on if that's going to change."

If that argument were valid, then the law about renting to non-whites should not have changed either to create protected classes (which didn't exist at the time the original zoning laws were made).

> You can be a climate-change denier all you want, but once that starts affecting public policy, that's a problem, because, for example, eviscerating the EPA will have far-reaching, long-term, negative effects on life on our planet.

This goes both ways though. I'm far from an expert on the subject, but I've read very compelling arguments from people whose livelihood are significantly affected by EPA regulations that have missed the mark, or are enforced unfairly.

A perfectly legitimate case can be made to modify some EPA regulations, but when that reasonable position is characterized as "eviscerating the EPA", well then we have another problem, because then both sides are not in a compromising mood, and that is what we need to accomplish anything.

I can't help but feel AMD is shooting the puck where the goal was, but won't be in the next few years. We desparately need GPU-like devices for advanced ML/AI. Even intel knows this and is investing huge in that area to be competitive against NVIDIA[1].

I predict in the future that AMD will come to dominate the home/enthusiasts CPU market, and intel's low-power CPUs will dominate enterprise along with whoever comes out with a CUDA competitor.

>is the stupidest thing rationalists ever cooked up.

Oh, you don't like bonuses then? Unsolicited, forced code review doesn't have much value that I've found, unless your team is fairly junior. Senior guys know what good code looks like, even in a crunch. If you hold forced, unsolicited code reviews with senior developers, you are really just throwing away money and aggravating people.

It's just another half thought out process. A better incentive, in my opinion is: if you release a complete codebase with 0 medium and above defects by X date, you get a free week off, or something of significant value. A free, company branded desk clock doesn't cut it. (that's happened to me before).

If a company is trying to save money by hiring the cheapest offshore developers they can, they are still really just throwing away money and aggravating people. lol. That is a perfect example of a poor incentive: cut costs without any regard to the resulting cuts in quality. Anyone can make a turd cheaply, but that's rarely what businesses really want.
If you tried to tax carbon market forces would run a massive disinformation and propaganda campaign. Market forces would spend massive amounts on campaigns electing anti tax legislators.

What does absolute free speech entail though? Can you use a megaphone? Can you broadcast over FM and drown out the 'owners' of that spectrum?

If the answer to #1 is no, how loud are you allowed to yell? Can I do that yelling at night? Does my right to disturb the air end where your eardrums begin?

We really have all kinds of restrictions on speech. For the most part, what we do is restrict the location and mode of speech, and try to blind our judgments on those issues from the content of speech. We have decided this to be the spiritual meaning of 'free speech' - but of course, it is not its literal definition.
