It also causes bugs, up to infinite cycle of bugs making you being able to finish the thing. It causes higher turn over with precisely engineers who care the most leaving the most likely. It makes it easier for less capable or qualified people to stay and it creates culture that makes it impossible to create good code even when you all actually have enough time.

It makes accountability harder and politics among team uglier.
Even if "patients" die, their friends and brothers don't, and the violence spreads.

When looking at trends, murder rate is a better metric than counting violent crimes, because statistics for other violence are quite easily impacted by changes in policies of how to record reports.

A dead person is a dead person, it's a very consistent metric. Of course, it is also a changing metric as emergency care improves - wounds that used to be deadly can now be treated. For instance, Swedish cities are reporting a vastly improved care for shooting wounds, as hospitals have gained experience and developed methods in treating them.

Well, whether or not it is "useless" depends on the person. Most human have emotional attachment to memories. And hence those that are more emotional ( whether it is inside or outside ) tends to remember things better and in tiny details.

And I actually doubt we "forget" about it. It is not like a computer sudden decide to do GC and you have more memory space. I think our brains tends to archive those "useless" things into somewhere deep, that takes lot of energy and take it back out.

I don't believe information is lost in our brain, it is most encrypted, compressed ( lossy ) and stored differently.

> Listen to your body. Don't follow any dogmatic approach!

When my body tells me to inject more drugs into my veins because it feels good I should really listen to my body! Your comment is pretty much bollocks to be honest. My example is reductio ad absurdum of course but the point still stands. If we were to listen to our body 24/7 we'd all be mindless instagram/facebook/dopamine zombies.
Huh, that's interesting! Do you know of a blog post where this is spelled out?
I love the idea of doing things to prevent more suffering.

“Despite the fact that violence has always been present, the world does not have to accept it as an inevitable part of the human condition,” says the WHO guidance on violence prevention.

But this is bullshit. Humans are a violent species. Always have been, always will be. The only question that's relevant is: when is it acceptable that violence be used? Ideally it would be a bare minimum, and by people who have nothing to benefit from it. If there's a crack house with a kid that needs rescuing, or a bank robbery gone bad with a hostage, I want somebody somewhere to be using violence.

Public health approaches to social problems are interesting, both because they have some statistically significant benefit -- and because they tend to over-generalize what the problems are and leave out many important edge cases. You can't say they're bad because there is progress to be shown. But you always wonder how many edge cases were overlooked and if overall we aren't institutionalizing a hardcore subset that will never be solved at the expense of making the problem simple enough to mentally engage with.

To perceive and interpret information in form of long text (which can thus have much complex structure due to having less limitations in length) surely requires more brain work than something like TV. Certain formats of narrative simply do not work in a play or a movie. They have to be adapted.

Usually if people read books, they will often be able to listen audiobooks to the same effect - and vice versa, people who can't read 3 pages because "they get bored", often can't listen to long audiobooks either (and focus on them, as opposed to just have them in background).

> why schools start so early

Because they need to fit in around the schedules of working parents. I'm loathe to accept that this is a source of problems given the likely issue is actually the time students go to sleep, how long they sleep for, and what time they wake up.

The solution does not obviously need to be changing school start times rather than student behaviour

> A pointer is literally a stored memory address, i.e. an integer.

Consider:

int a = 5;
int* b = &a;

What happens when 'a' is allocated to a CPU register? If 'b' never escapes and no (undefined) pointer arithmetic is used, the compiler can simply consider '*b' as an alias to 'a'.

In this case the 'pointer' never actually points to memory.

> The thing the compiler manipulates could be called a "C pointer" or something.

Perhaps, although when talking about pointers, it's almost always in context of a particular programming language.

Maybe it'd be better to talk about "hardware pointers". Although on hardware level, from CPU point of view, a value or a register generally only becomes a "pointer" when it's used to compute a memory address for an instruction that accesses memory. (Excluding special hardware registers, like instruction pointer, page tables, DMA hardware or interrupt/exception vectors.)

So a "pointer" is always an abstraction in context of general purpose processing.

Relevant XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/605/

Extrapolating from a single neighbourhood to an entire city is not valid reasoning.

Perhaps the neighbourhood was especially amenable to the program, perhaps the crime rate failed to stay low, perhaps some extra-judicial phenomena struck that particular area (say a new factory opening up that boosted the local economy significantly). Or coming at it from the other angle, who's to say New York hasn't had one or two of its neighbourhoods experience extreme marked drops in crime year-over-year too? The 75% over a decade figure is an aggregate for the entire city, and surely it's going to have happened faster in some areas and slower in others.

Only by comparing apples to apples, or in this case cities to cities, and not just for a single year but over many years can we reach valid conclusions. And in that case we find the VRU approach in Glasgow failed to out perform the null hypothesis.

As somebody on the dev build train normally I've seen this change for quite a while now and my brain quickly stopped processing the warning on HTTP only sites.

I hope that flipping the switch now will cause enough of the remaining non-https sites to start looking into switching before Chrome feels the need to start adding "more prominent" warnings (for example using a modal dialog).

I agree that, yes, in general, we should all be using HTTPS on the internet, but non-secured HTTP still makes sense for example during development or for home routers and printers where traffic encryption is less important compared to the initial UX (my parents could probably set up a home router on their own if it's using non-encrypted HTTP but they would be totally unable to proceed if it's using a self-signed cert).
> you just want a number to track even if it’s grossly inaccurate

I can confirm that even the cheap digital scales will give you the trend with the same approximate shape as high quality measuring systems. If you have enough data points (like measuring 1-2 times per day or over a long period) any outlier will be excluded and the overall trend will be very close to reality. Which is enough for all intents and purposes.

But this is bullshit. Humans are a violent species

I would frame it as: Life is challenging and the world is not a nice place. If you succeeded in completely removing all aggression from the species, we would soon go extinct.

So managing such tendencies and channeling them constructively is a necessity. Our very survival depends on not being completely rid of such traits.

We want to be civilized, not "domesticated" like sheep waiting for slaughter.
“The color of the wall, the texture of the furniture, the setting of the room, wasn’t good for enjoying music with darker tones.”

First world problem.

My favorite source of background music is "radiocoast.com". Not because it's that great, but because someone figured out a way to beat the music industry. He got a collection of background music records made for the Seeburg 1000 and 2000. Seeburg was a jukebox maker in Chicago. As a sideline they sold background music devices which played a big stack of special records over and over - 1000 or 2000 songs. They bought the rights to the music, and their own orchestra recorded them. So they had full content ownership. The records had a nonstandard groove width, a nonstandard diameter, and a nonstandard hole size; DRM, the early years. They were not copyrighted and predate the "no formalities" copyright law. So anyone with the records can legally distribute the music. Which "radiocoast.com" does.
Stanford also owns the original PageRank patent, and licensed it to Google for 1.8 million shares. Apparently they sold those in 2005, earning $336 million.

I'd be afraid that they'd turn to other illegal activities like kidnapping and bribery before entertaining a legal job.

If the cartels are allowed to operate legally, I'm worried about them having committed crimes for decades and being rewarded with first moved advantage into the new market. I think that would be a slap in the face to the rule of law. I'm not worried about the consumer as typically people should be able to self medicate and experiment as you suggest.

If you want to be able to randomly upgrade those dependencies and not have to worry about a breaking change, then yes. Semver is not going to help you there. Server is only going to help you when someone knows they are releasing breaking change. And even then, only if they are nice enough to actually follow the spec.

You don't have to test every bit of every dependency you use, but upgrading them without either carefully reviewing the changes or having tests in place for at least critical functionality is asking for something like this to happen eventually.

The OP didn't specify who the Mindstorm alternative was for, but for young children, the new Lego Boost is cheaper (~ $160 vs the ~ $350 for Mindstorms EV3) and probably an easier introduction to programming and robotics than the Mindstorms, but seems to also be quite hackable (but I don't think you can install your own linux on it like the EV3).

I recently converted all my Linux boxes to use BTRFS filesystems. That allows for snapshots of each sub volume, and you can even send them (incrementally) to another btrfs drive.
Last weekend I also set up btrbk, which gives you an environment to automate the process. It let's you snapshot any subvolume to a schedule you configure, and then send backups to any destination you specify via ssh, or even USB drives. Since these are incremental it uses very little bandwidth.
It even has an archive function for long term storage, and just like the other backups you can define individual retention policies for each location.
Did I mention it also supports non-btrfs support, encryption, and both host/server initiated backups? Awesome.
Next weekend I'll set up encrypted archives to the cloud...
I don't disagree with that framing. I think it's probably much better than mine.

We want the maximum amount of peaceful diversity we can have both as individuals and as small social groups. It's a prerequisite for survival, as you point out.

I am concerned that we tend to look at problems top-down, in simplistic language and jargon. This almost always leads to a call for more homogenization of the species. That's a survival risk for us.
Makes me think of this:

You could implement SAP for SMB as well. I even know several startups who decided to go SAP.
The key is to limit customization(I bet you don't have complicated accounting or logistics processes) and stick to SAP consultants from Eastern-Europe(2 times cheaper compared to German consultants, due to their lack of German , wich you don't need) - just search linked in for consultants fromt he biggest SAP hubs in the region: Slovakia, Poland(mostly SAP Basis consultants), Latvia (Project management, ABAP and SAP ERP).

E-Commerce Branding: Importance of Product Images
I'm honestly getting a little tired of the repetition this cycle causes. Monorepos are Wrong, "too many" repos are also Wrong, and everyone needs to realize that strawmaning the opposing side is really what wastes our time, not broken builds or waiting on dependencies to build.

Monorepo people ignore the learned lessons of those who came before us, and are trying to drag their teams back into a simpler time that, while nice, does not exist anymore. If you use any dependencies at all, you don't live in a monorepo world, and lying to yourself and your coworkers will only leave you confused and angry that your expectations are constantly not being met.

The solution isn't to split every single component into its own repo, but pretending like that's what anyone rational is proposing is not working with the best form of the argument. It's not always completely clear how to split up a growing codebase, but to claim that it's not usually worth splitting up is Wrong.
This is a very long fast. Tell us more.

Instagram has little to do with that; the two-way association between perceived health and attractiveness is deeply ingrained (the exact extent to which it is a very ancient feature of culture vs. an evolved biological trait independent of culture, I don't know, but it's one or both of those things.)

The company I work for (in the utility industry) does this regularly and there are disciplinary actions for falling for the attack

The consequences range in severity based on the number of times an employee is caught over a 12 month period, or if, as part of the attack, the employee enters their credentials on the webpage linked in the email (a big no-no). They range from: a meeting with your manager to discuss, a requirement to park outside the security gate and walk in for at least 2 weeks, to your vacation accrual rate being reduced, all the way to unpaid suspension or termination with 4 failures in 12 months.

Of course as part of the on-boarding process the company provides pretty extensive training on how to spot a phishing attempt but some attacks can still get a large portion of our company.

The downside is now some employees who have been burned before are terrified of opening any external emails. This ironically resulted in an exceptionally low participation rate in our company's annual employee engagement survey conducted by, you guessed it, an external party.
