One major reason to buy commercially bottled water is that it tends to store safely at room temperature more/less indefinitely. Tap water in many places is not sufficiently chlorinated to safely store long-term.

For what it's worth, I think the standards for basically all drinking water, including municipal supplies, are pretty low. Accepted levels of arsenic in ground and tap water (and probably some bottled water) are calibrated to a shockingly high tolerance for causing cancer, well above the typical target risk of one in a million.
There's a BBC series of documentaries called "The Foods that make billions" that covers this topic.

Episode one is about liquid gold: bottled water.

Nestlé is just one of them, Coca Cola is another one.

>some far-away terms and conditions

Are you claiming that people don't know what credit reporting is when they sign loans? If so, that's a failure of basic financial education on the part of parents and K12. If someone imagines they have the right to delete the records of debts they don't want to pay, that person has been tragically misled about the fundamental nature of adulthood.

Knowing that lenders communicate with each other about your reputation, especially when you'd rather they wouldn't, is right up there with knowing what interest is.
I didn't really grasp this until I moved to the US... They don't fucking care what makes sense around some issues like this. I've asked seemingly rational colleagues, who work as professional developers, about SSN and national IDs. They've all been completely opposed. Even if they otherwise offer solid opinions on security.

Something something, Nazis, something, Hitler would've been even more successful if the Germans had national IDs. Can't trust the federal government to do it.

But then they tell me to keep my SSN secret, forever, except that I need to give it to people all the time, and they use the last four digits of it as verification all the time.

So you've got a shitty defacto system with zero integrity, basically mandatory use, and that can't be changed. They even print it on paper cards to discourage its use as an id. There is a US national ID. It just sucks and they won't admit how they use it in practice. Sigh..

Who's handling the healthcare costs of the middle-aged workers not old enough to retire?
Personally I don't believe in idea that many people would be able to build successful FOSS projects and communities around them while living off their savings. It's could be a good for the start, but nothing would work without project having viable business model like MatterMost or Discourse have. Or if someone sponsors it be it some corporation or individual.

Reason for this is simple: successful project it's not just the code, but also community around it. Coordinating even small team across different time zones, helping new contributors, reviewing the code and keeping it all together is exhausting daily job and not everyone can handle that. Now projects that you find valuable would require highly skilled programmer to work on them.

So the person it's require to build such software can easily find a job in one of corporations that pay very well or FOSS-related job that might have lesser pay. Why should someone prefer to live off savings or in debt just to build software that don't have business model?

This is the reason I don't think basic income would help here at all. Of course some could be okay in living just above poverty while working on project they believe in, but most would prefer job for some corporation that would have have 3-10 times better pay.

So instead of basic income there should be viable way to fund open source projects and to distribute the pay fairly according to the job done. For individuals and small teams there is already Patreon, but there no simple solution for distributed teams usual open source project have because it's extremely hard to collect and distribute the money without offending someone or contributors lose motivation to work on project when one guy is being paid while they get nothing. Unfortunately I don't even sure if ever will be solution for this.
If the money is in a bank account in a foreign country, a court may have no jurisdiction to recover the money.
AFAIK it's still not decided when/if it will join the main distribution.

I've not tried it for a while now but last I saw it was even more opinionated about GOPATH than the existing tooling, and it wasn't at all easy to figure out what it wanted me to do. Maybe it's improved since though.
there might be a differential equation that describes a small part of beings (not a "huge number") benefitting from the free energy that diurnal animals might be at night. There's an equilibrium that's clearly preferential to daylight animals.

Point in case, bats as my primary example seem to be pretty archaic, with highly developed specializations, but nothing really highly developed. Which I see as an expression of the low entropy in the dark (the signal to noise ratio for sound is rather good at night though). Deep see animals are mostly outliers inhabiting a niche, as well. Whereas people as the highest developed species, if I may say so myself, don't even quite get along with crossing the day-night boundaries, I don't see your argument at all. You are rather proving the point.

You are right. The way I solved for this scenario is that when a record is first created on the device, a GUID is created for it (and stored using another column of course). When POSTing new records to the server for syncing, the server will check the GUID and see if the record already exists in its database, and if so, can ignore it (so the duplicate isn't written).

But yes, you're right overall - full offline mode w/syncing, etc is a big pain :)
>>We're out of agricultural space

This is not remotely true, unless you buy into the ridiculous Ausubel et al paper. Most conservative projections have it at 2040 for peak arable land, which is not the same as being out of agricultural space, and certainly not the same as denying climate change.

Efficiency of arable land per hectare is through the roof and continues to improve every decade by increasing multiplicative factors due to consolidation, regulation, and technology.

The problem is not food development, arable land, or generating calories at all. It is entirely in the distribution of the food and the political ramifications of such.
I got curious to see how much effort was spent on this task.

Following the commit log of the coder who ported to Haiku, it was a matter of mostly adjusting the build process/includes to point to the right lib and fixing some method signatures.

At least the wikipedia articles seems to agree with the author.

These cities continued to be used by the Christian natives
as protection from the Mongolian incursions of Timur in
the 14th century.[7][8]

After the region fell to the Ottomans, the cities were used
as refuges (Cappadocian Greek: καταφύγια) from the Turkish
Muslim rulers.[9] As late as the 20th century the locals,
called Cappadocian Greeks, were still using the underground
cities to escape periodic waves of Ottoman persecution.[9]
R. M. Dawkins, a Cambridge linguist who conducted research
on the Cappodocian Greek natives in the area from 1909-1911,
recorded that in 1909, "when the news came of the recent
massacres at Adana, a great part of the population at Axo took
refuge in these underground chambers, and for some nights did
not venture to sleep above ground."
There are several big games published with Godot. The author used this program with his team to develop video games for his studio. Still not AAA but big enough to know it is worth it. Game maker suffered from the same criticism up until a big wave of popular games came out of it. You shouldn't judge an engine by the games made with it.

LOL I sold and retired ten years ago. The now-parent company has pretty much completely rid themselves of the old culture.

By the way, I never took a course in management or anything. My methods are all learned in the trenches. Theoretically, I'm working on a book that is about my experiences and why I ended up managing the way I did.

In many ways, it was a bit like the Old West, with slightly less prostitution and better hygiene. Also less murder... Come to think of it, it wasn't that much like the Old West, but it was very different than what I read about today.

The most important lessons I learned were to remember that I'd hired them to do things that I could not. As such, they knew their job better than I did. If I could have done it myself, I'd not have had to hire them.

Hire people you can trust. You have to trust them to be adults. Give them clear goals and then get the hell out of the way so that they can do their job.

Give them the tools they ask for, not the tools a vendor suggested. They have a reason they asked for a proprietary compiler, get it for them.

Respect goes a long way and begins in the recruitment phase. It surely doesn't end there. To get respect, you have to give respect.

Train, train, train. If you treat your employee right, you can absolutely train them and not worry about them being poached. Salary is actually a small part of overhead. Pay them well and treat them well. Our print room cost more than a senior employee. There's no reason to pay crap wages.

At the same time, wages aren't everything. Everyone wants to make good money but when you're already assured of making good money, other things start to count. Help your employees in their goals. If you have a QA that wants to move to dev, don't offer to pay back their educational expenses, but pay their expenses outright, pay for their child care, pay for their books, and keep paying their salary while they work a reduced schedule. Really, if you're treating them right, they won't just up and go to a new company after you've trained them.

I can go on, but there's a few things I've learned.

So you don't want to SOUND really shallow. Do you dislike having no likes or dislikes or do you simply think that "the public at large" judges people with no likes or dislikes?

Is it actually logically possible for you yourself to dislike having no dislikes? Surely if you dislike being shallow then you aren't shallow if being shallow is when you have no dislikes.
It is very likely to be a combination of innate predisposition and behavioral effects. Like almost all diseases that are not caused by external bodies, or extremely hereditary. So ADHD is not really a condition, rather, it is an axis on which you can fit somewhere. In extreme cases, I can imagine it's very hard to manage without pills. In most cases, one can probably work through it without pills.

That's kind of the contract between workers and their employer. Workers get short-term benefit of not having any risk, and employers take the risk but receive the long-term benefit of capital.
Just for interest, I uploaded the script that I use to "talk to myself" here: http://ipfs.hobbs.cz/ipfs/QmTToAExveJ7cdR7oMShovunMmN8RtUC1L...

You need sox and python3 for it to run http://sox.sourceforge.net/.

You launch it with

./101things --delay=30

When it beeps, you start talking. After you have said 101 things to yourself, in between each track it will play back one of the things you said. I found it really boring to have a conversation with myself in the moment, so I try to say things that would be of interest to my future self, like 2 hours from now. It is a very strange experience.

How's the performance of the resulting games? With unity I've found that it's a mixed bag, but it's hard to know if that's the fault of developers or the engine.

You may both be right. There is an increasing amount of scientific evidence that screens (TV in particular) and junk food (sugar and saturated fat in particular) are severely impairing brain development in children, leading among other issues to difficulty to focus and ADHD. So yes, keeping children off screens as much as possible (+ healthy food + sport) looks like a good advice.

However, when you have this condition as an adult... well, there is some level of plasticity in the brain, but it looks harder than just "change your behavior", it may be required to also treat the symptoms.
I just finished this[1] book with tips about how to get back into that deep work routine, and whilst I'm not there yet - there have been some immediately tangible benefits.

Oh, come on! Go is wonderful in some parts. Methods on types (which are structures most of the time), duck-typing and emphasis on interfaces instead of classes gives you almost a statically typed CLOS without classes.

In other words, Go is as good as a statically typed C-descendant could be. It is definitely a better C without becoming a farce after "comedy" of C++ (and tragedy of Java).

I've been doing a stack that uses Mongo, Sails and Vue for about a year now. What I like is that it feels like I'm just writing Javascript all the way from front end to query. Mongo queries are just JSON documents. I'm not sure how nicely Postgres queries would work in Nodejs? Can I just feed it a JSON object that represents a query and it will "work"?

The aggregation pipeline is also quite nice. I actually prefer it to Elasticsearch aggregations now. I've done some reasonably complex queries involving grouping deeply nested arrays of embedded documents, etc. using the aggregation pipeline.

Put it this way, with Elasticsearch when you have nested documents and the schema is variable and you want to do aggregation you end up in mapping hell. There is none of that crap in Mongo.

Yes, go is a replacement for Java. Google couldn't rely forever on sun forever (see the later acquisition by Oracle and lawsuits with Google). Big companies want to own their main tools.

It's also to separate itself from the Java crowd, which has a rather poor image to a lot of people that google wants to attract.

> As far as I can tell, nobody in this thread "picked up the banner of identity politics," and I can't find anyone arguing that "gender is 100% a social construct" either. Those seem to have been brought up exclusively as an out-of-left-field criticism of transgender people.

Where did I criticize "transgender people"? I merely pointed out how identity politics, which is not just about transgender people but covers a whole field of people, has been pretty much been the sole focus of "leftist social politics". Probably because there ain't actually that much left it could pick up to rally behind, which in itself is already a success.

Nothing of what I said was intended as a direct reply to people making claims here, but rather as a discussion of the general phenomena which does include the claim of "gender is a social construct" but also includes plenty of people who normalize mental illness in the course of said discussion.

Look, my goal is not to make people who don't fit the mold "undesirable", this isn't an especially easy topic to discuss because there are no clear-cut answers and it can be very touchy for some people.

Somewhere in there, there is a very valid issue hidden of how do we deal with mental health issues. Do we consider them part of the course and accept people living with them affecting everybody around them?
Do we consider them "broken" and "not compatible with society" and try to change their personality?

These issues seep into the general issues of psychology and sociology not being very hard sciences, so science can't give us any clear answers about what to do. In that regard, I find it disingenuous how the left, with the help of gender studies, tries to construct a consensus that ain't there and most likely won't be there for the foreseeable future.
I prefer this example:

It basically just adds a convenient syntax for creating partitions plus adds automatic tuple routing (routing inserts on the partitioned table to the right partition). This is for most users not a huge improvement over using PostgreSQL's table inheritance to implement partitioning, but it is a very important stepping stone for implementing competitive partitioning in PostgreQL. There are lots of promising patches in the PostgreSQL 11 release cycle which improve on the native partitioning, making it useful for more users.
Yeah. As I understand it, previously it wasn't possible to do dual-band GPS without using the encrypted military P(Y)-code because the unencrypted C/A code was only on the L1 frequency, and for best accuracy you need dual-band to measure and compensate for ionospheric delay.
