Indeed. And there may come a time when such emissions are enough to matter, but we should then just apply a proper tax to them (as well as airplanes). That’d encourage using alternatives (like hydrogen which is actually a superior rocket fuel from an exhaust velocity perspective but is harder to handle and leads to greater dry mass) and also provide incentive to pull such emissions from the atmosphere. Elon Musk has advocated such a broad carbon tax, including on SpaceX’s rockets (which use kerosene and eventually methane).

Sexual selection wouldn't eliminate baldness. Most men marry between their early 20s and early 30s, when a large majority of men still have a large majority of their hair. It's influenced by a number of genes, and the X chromosome (inherited from the mother) has the most influence.
I may be old-fashioned, but to me, GNOME 2 was the best desktop environment I ever used, no matter what OS. GNOME 3 was basically the main reason I switched from GNU/Linux to a Mac in 2013.

Then I discovered MATE. =D I have switched back to GNU/Linux with a MATE desktop since, and I could not be happier. To my taste, it gives both Windows and macOS a run for their money.

Its made me realize that critical thinking is just breaking down logic to its smallest component form. And having some means of expressing different ways of organizing those components. Logic applies to all things, so time spent learning math is always useful.

I'm trying to make math derivations / critical thinking something I can do without trying, so its easier for me to pick up more complex topics and actually understand what's going on.

> "you cannot afford to spawn the interpeter on each request"

You mention this as a case against using Python, but this is entirely unrelated to Python as a framework. In other words, had they used PHP or Node or %s, they'd still have to face the issue of optimizing the request-to-response path.

This relates much more to the issues that often come with the common practice of separating your webserver, from your business logic (Flask, in our case).

> "so you have to use some asynchronous tooling"

Solutions such as mod_cgi and wsgi have been the standard for years at this point. That's, in many ways, a solved problem.

> "In order to get off the ground, you also need to use pip, which causes an inordinate number of problems vs. the bsd ports tree or .deb files."

Any specific issues you can expand on? Because this is a rather vague form of criticism.

Using pip is ridiculously easy. I've been using Python extensively in various production environments and rarely had to point a finger at pip. Package and dependency management in Python are solid (that isn't to say things can't improve).

> "You can use virtual environments for each script, but then patching zero days becomes infeasible."

Again, this is an entirely subjective form of criticism. I haven't had any issues with keeping my virtualenvs up to date.

> "If you want basic type safety, you need to rely on external tooling."

Again, you just seem to favor strongly typed languages and that's fine, but that's hardly a point against using Python here. Type safety is simply not a Python thing, much like weak typing is not a C thing.

> "In my experience, third party python libraries evolve types and api’s without warning. This shows up at runtime, so it introduces security holes."

Developers will sometimes break APIs. How is this a Python-specific issue? These things are literally happening everywhere.

Consider a company which offers two services - 1. Latest news stories with personalized ads on the side. 2. Just news stories.

There is nothing illegal about having the above two lines of services. But when a user wants service no. 1, their personal data becomes neccessary to show personalized ads. If the user chooses to not “pay” in the curreny of personal data, it is perfectly fine, they can use service no. 2.

Why is this illegal? Please, be specific with which part of the law prohibits this.

The lines are about the same size as a lane and lead you straight into the barrier.

Microsoft's very belated recognition that they won't be able to extend their OS dominance to all things server also means they've mostly squandered the technical advantages of the CLR. Oracle can catch up with the missing bits technologically (and they are doing just that) whereas it's by now really hard for the CLR to catch up in marketshare. Which is a pity.

Strive to become comfortable with uncertainty and doubt. At first your instinct is to arrive at certainty, to hang onto “facts” and put things in boxes. It can cause anxiety to leave things in some state of either-or-maybe, but it’s a critical too. I’m not arguing for global intellectual relativism, but a lot of what people settle on with certainty isn’t certain. Ask endless questions, and assign weights to answers, but even when one is 99.9% likely, don’t totally ignore the other 0.1%. Take opportunity reevaluate what you “know” based on new information, and try to avoid traps like groupthink or contrarianism.

Above all, accept this as an ongoing process that only ends when you die.

Because you can reach a perfectly amicable point where you realize that one person's belief is a decision - you understand their arguments, they understand yours, but nothing that either of you say will change the other person's mind. We tend to think that people think through the options and go for the most salient one, but sometimes they say, "I'm going to believe this" and then they do. In that case, you'd have to unseat their will to change their mind.
We would not even need the mainline kernel to decouple images from particular hardware. In postmarketOS we only have a hand full of device specific packages (ideally only one per device), and one of them is the downstream kernel for non-mainlined devices. All other binary packages can be shared between all devices of the same CPU architecture (in Alpine terms usually "armhf" or "aarch64" for mobile phones and tablets). Just like Linux distributions do it.

The big benefit of the mainline kernel is, that it is the only way to get all the (security) fixes. Greg Kroah-Hartman (Linux kernel who maintains the stable releases) wrote in Februrary:

> As proof of this, I demoed at the Kernel Recipes talk referenced above how trivial it was to crash all of the latest flagship Android phones on the market with a tiny userspace program. The fix for this issue was released 6 months prior in the LTS kernel that the devices were based on, however none of the devices had upgraded or fixed their kernels for this problem. As of this writing (5 months later) only two devices have fixed their kernel and are now not vulnerable to that specific bug.

A Windows 10 tablet (I can't name one, but some probably exist) has this out of the box with the wireless screen projection (win+K). I had to do this laptop to laptop to projector for a lightning talk once after the first laptop had a broken display port adapter - surprisingly fast to setup and 0 latency.

I'd be surprised if something didn't exist for Android tablets. But if you have an old laptop laying around, maybe throw w10 on it and see if it works?
I wouldn't think so, that's how you go from spray to foam (e.g. some household detergents around here have a small mesh screen you can clip over the spray nozzle to get a detergent foam instead of the liquid droplets of a regular spray bottle).

I gotta ask, because I've used MBPs for the last 10 years, and I'm surrounding by dozens of people using the same: but what is your setup? Are you on High Sierra?

Sleep used to be a problem for me and a lot of others... back in 2012. I would consistently have issues with my MBP "waking up" when unplugging it from the wall but not opening it; occasionally I would close my MBP and coincidentally hear the fans going full blast 30 minutes later. Definitely untrustworthy 5/6 years ago

But sleep is generally a solved problem, so I have to think you're on a pre-Retina machine or running an older OS, or you've got some kexts doing bad things.

You can also reach a point where, as you said, they’re not fanatical or cut off from science and objectivity, they just have a lens through which they view it all. It’s a tough life, and a belief in a higher purpose or underlying cause must be very comforting to some, and if they can still accept reality as it exists, what’s the harm? If they’re not out to convert you, or argue that Earth is 6000 years old, then there are probably better things to discuss than their faith.

In the software sense, sustainable software is software that can be maintained. That means in practice not to have thousands of forks of the same piece of software (like it is done with the Linux kernel in Android). Instead, sharing as much of the same codebase and binary packages as possible across all devices just like it's done in a typical Linux distribution.
There's a reason why he's famous. That reason is not that he's actually insightful or correct with his cut-up dadaist nonsense quotes. It's because he's very good at acting like a guru.

"Whatever you tell Deepak Chopra, he responds as if he knew in advance what you were going to say."
I love how he thinks he's smart for predicting people will treat him like a nut after he acts like a total nut for decades.

When a field is largely pre-scientific like consciousness, lots of "gurus" are drawn in who try to substitute flashy language and bold, general statements for actual rigor and reproducible predictions. The state of the study of consciousness today almost guarantees by definition that there is no objective observation or falsifiable claims, and reproduction of someone's experiment is very difficult in any way that proves anything meaningful.

Chopra just excels in saying some unnecessarily terse and ambiguous statement that will naturally appeal to one's pareidolia, causing people to think it's some incredibly deep and multifaceted wisdom when in fact it can be replicated with a random word bank: http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/

The whole quantum woo crowd is really saddening. I mean obviously quantum effects have something to do with it, in as much as quantum effects have something to do with everything. But when you take some barely-understood, bleeding-edge physics and apply it to a horrifically complex and almost completely unknown field like the origin of consciousness, stating that this is where your soul or free will or whatever comes from, you can be ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED that this person is so full of shit their eyes are turning brown. Quantum weirdness™ does not exist solely to prop up people's baseless spiritual beliefs. Be very wary of people who twist physics in to such convenient and anthro-centric ways.

MATE/Mate (I'm unsure of the current preferred typefacing) seems very nice, and I don't fully understand why Canonical chose to go with GNOME Shell rather than Mate, especially as one of their own employees (Martin Wimpress) is own of the driving forces behind Mate. I suppose it's because they figure GNOME has the financial backing of Red Hat. But I think in this case the financial position of GNOME Shell is misleading as to the current state of its technology and usability.

Well okay, but this raises the question of why code needs to always fit within 80 columns. The Go developers decided that it doesn't, and it's fine to check in the code as-is.

(In particular, automatic refactoring tools don't need to wrap lines when they get longer.)

And everything seems to have worked out fine.

It's not the only way to do it, but I think it's interesting how getting everyone to agree that a problem doesn't need solving sometimes simplifies things a lot.
Yes, indeed. It will take a few cases to see what reality is. Though I am equally sure companies which make billions off personal data will leave no stone unturned to argue that their use case is legit.

Their case will be helped by the fact that they can simply have the user “consent” to stuff. And since none of those are “critical” services, they will find ways to prove that user consent was actually voluntary, and not coerced.

So I think you’re right that only the most egregious violations will have real trouble.

The judges might also want to demonstrate to everybody (including their own system) that the big stick can in fact be wielded to real effect. If people start beliving that the stick is really just a prop, no point carrying it, is there…
> many people have their hopes invested in the belief that these companies are building a better brighter future

OT, but I'm reminded of how many times in recent history that we (as humans) have hitched hope for a better future on some tangential circumstance:

- the socialist notion that industrialization would bring about peace, equality and well-being for all

- the liberal notion that freedom from tyranny would bring about peace, equality and well-being for all (through trade)

- the general notion that airplanes would bring about peace since no-one would be so demonic as to drop bombs on people from the air.

Those dreams are now in shambles. I find it prudent to be highly skeptical of similar claims that have not yet been similarly disproved, i.e.

- the feminist notion that freedom from patriarchy will bring about peace and equality for all

- the popular notion that atomic weapons will end all wars since no-one would be so crazy as to start an nuclear war.

I think it's time to hitch our hopes on simply not starting wars, and simply divert our productivity towards environmental sustainability and general well-being for all, instead of waiting for some tangential causations like those mentioned to do the trick, which in hindsight doesn't amount to much more than marketing fluff.

"Structure of Magic, Vol. I" by Bandler

The "Meta-Model" is a set of questions based on Chomsky's Transformational Grammar that are designed to elicit"hidden" information by detecting and "surfacing" the deep structure of linguistic models in a therapeutic context.

For example, a statement of the form, "Foo shouldn't bar." omits the reason or motive, and can be met with a question of the form, "What would happen if foo did bar?"

You can use the Meta-Model to guide your own introspection and elicit thoughts or beliefs that you might not even be aware you hold.
