That's like €25 per person. It's basically meaningless.

Meanwhile, Germany's annual net contribution to the EU is €220 per person. I'm not pointing this out to complain–the EU is worth far more than that, and seeing the giant improvements these transfers have supported in Eastern Europe, or Ireland, or Portugal makes their usefulness obvious.

But suggesting that Germany (and the other countries involved) took on billions and billions in risk hoping to earn what are obviously below-market returns is laughable. Not everything is motivated by money.

> I’ve been on this for two weeks. The diet is incredibly restrictive and unenjoyable. My symptoms have been a little better judging from my food/symptom log.

I don't know if this is the place for "It Gets Better", but my wife was also on the diet, and also found it restrictive and unenjoyable, but found a noticeable difference in her symptoms. One important point is that it is not meant to be a lifelong diet; it is meant to provide a 'reset' on which a future satisfactory baseline, with lower FODMAPs (especially in areas of discovered sensitivity) but not none, can be built. She has found much more success managing her symptoms since then. (One example discovery: a previous lactose-intolerance test had totally failed to catch her severe lactose intolerance.)

I can vouch for the testing and safety overhead when compared to what the layman might imagine. A friend of mine designs the ticket barriers for the London Underground, among other customers, and the work that goes into ensuring the safety of those autonatic saloon-door style gates is enormous - you can just imagine what a poorly designed or faulty one might do to, I dont know, a pregnant person. It’s definitely a case of the 80:20 rule applying to the design vs the finessing and safety.

Lots of what you'd want from a healthy diet is on it, but, if you try to prepare a meal with varied ingredients, you'll rapidly find that it still has plenty of (sometimes surprising and unexpected) exclusions. Well, maybe that's just me; I find the idea of leaving fruit and onions out of my diet difficult even to conceive.

I couldn't agree more. Pi-Hole is essentially useless for real world scenarios.

I can't hear this short-sighted comments "it doesn't load with pi-hole? then I just close the tab!"

oh really? that's how easy it is in your world? and then you just don't buy that flight ticket? because that shitty online ticket agent uses third-third-party payment providers etc. whos domain is unfortunately blocked in pi-hole? even one single incident might force you to entirely disable pi-hole. most people can't afford to play around with that until it works.

you can't seriously maintain these block lists yourself. you have to rely on a 3rd party, usually some volunteers - great people btw - but even a huge crowd like them can't make sure, that from time to time, in some part of the internet, in some specific country and language, something will be blocked by mistake and you are stuck. with a browser plugin, at least you can disable it for that specific case. with pi-hole there is no such feature. i have to disable my browser adblocker at least once a month, because something doesn't load. and its always off for sites like paypal, because I really want that payment to work and not suddenly screw up the whole transaction.

I believe EDITOR=vim in turn stems from vim being able to run in restricted mode.

I once saw a hardcore emacs user forced to use vim because he was building a setup that allowed shell users to edit a file. And couldn't do that in emacs. So he had to use rvim -y.

I myself once built a nethack shell server where I used rvim to allow users to edit their nethackrc.

So distros preferring vim can either stem from it being vi-compatible which is POSIX. And/or from having a restricted mode.
I've heard great things about Let's Encrypt, many people who I trust use and trust Let's Encrypt, and I use and trust them too.

But beyond that warm fuzzy feeling, and what they write about themselves on their web site, I'd love to know more particulars about the nature of why they're different, why so many people trust them, how they came about, who's running it, who's supporting it, who are they competing against, and what their mission and back story is. Why are they pushing other CAs to up their game, and why weren't those other CAs doing what Let's Encrypt is now pushing them to do, in the first place?

I believe the "Cretaceous Greenhouse" would make quite a good movie, considering the massive inland seas that formed during the period over the continental shelf. The majority of people on Earth would have to move house to higher altitudes.

It's mind-boggling to consider that we increased the CO2 levels from 280 to 410 ppm during the industrial age. We went a quarter of the way to the Cretaceous super-greenhouse of 1000 ppm, with most of the change accumulating in recent decades. And we are accelerating.

It's hard to see how most complex ecosystems would survive that kind of change in just a century or so, evolution is simply not that rapid. Forget moving house, imagine a world where the only functional natural ecosystems are bacterial.
If I were to guess, I’d say altitude differences and terrain. It takes less energy to walk on flat, paved sidewalks than to hike a trail.

I don't know about that. Lots of people go to therapists and just talk about mundane stuff too just because they feel more comfortable having a "clinical" conversation about whatever's on their mind (as in someone who isn't emotionally invested in any way).

An ancient Byzantine general was once involved in a plot to overthrow the king. His plot included a number of followers in the upper ranks of the army. However, his plot was uncovered, and the king threw him in jail. The king sentenced him to death without a trial.

However, from the jail he was able to secretly contact his followers to arrange to escape, meet his followers, and attack the king's palace at night. So the night before his scheduled execution, the general managed to escape from prison. He fled to a ziggurat several kilometers away, where his followers would meet him. However, the ziggurat was one of several in the area, and he wasn't sure if his cohorts would find the right ziggurat. By this time it was twilight, so he lit a small fire and sent smoke signals to indicate in which structure he was hiding.

However, the king's loyal soldiers saw the smoke coming from the ziggurat, and came to arrest him before he could meet his followers. He was executed later that day.

The moral of the story? WARNING: The searching general has determined that smoking ziggurats can be extremely hazardous to your stealth.

Does anyone have experience with the optional network ad blocker built into the eero? I think it’s an additional charge so I haven’t tried it. Does it use this same rule set?
Yes of course I know what the Wikipedia definition is. Have you ever tried to 'replicate' a paper? Let's say someone did a survey of something. How are you going to 'replicate' that? Or used a particular piece of equipment, or did some measurements in a field? Sure, it's easy to restrict yourself to the data files that go into some software, and say 'oh I used the same data set and software version, my research is 'replicatable'.' My point is that there are a lot of aspects to most research that aren't easy (or even at all) to replicate, even if one is put in all the effort required to document every minute circumstance. There is more to 'science' than CS algos and lab bench biomed.

"Could you give an example of a non-numerical science?"

This is the point you're probably going to argue about what is or is not 'science', so let me use 'scholarship' instead from the fields I work in: law, environmental science and geography. There is a lot of research that is not purely numerical in nature. Note that this doesn't mean that it doesn't use numbers; you misread what I wrote - I didn't say 'numerical disciplines', I said 'abstract numerical disciplines', by which I meant disciplines that require at least some judgement of qualitative properties or inexact measurements of things along the way, somewhere.

There's a somewhat similar mechanism which underlies all learning. It's "what fires together, wires together", meaning that neural connections with correlated activity patterns tend to get strengthened over time.

While that mechanism operates on what at first seems to be the forward pass, the neurosystem seems to often operate in loops, with "useful" signals continuing to go around for a while to provide the learning signal.

Honestly I feel that it has become more of a fame and dissimination thing than anything else.

I've seen VIM portrayed as this holy grail of productivity for several years now, while Emacs has always been portrayed as a quirky complex editor.

I'm a VIM user and never used Emacs (nothing against it) but, correct if I'm wrong, both have a similar philosophy and have a higher learning curve than modern editors. They're also both extremely powerful under the right hands.

When I first got into VIM, it was from some conference video showcasing it and how to get good at it. Now remembering back I don't think I ever saw a similar thing for Emacs. I've heard of VimCasts but never heard of EmacsCasts (or something like that). It probably exists, I just never heard of it.

Maybe that's what missing for Emacs?

Take all this with a grain of salt. I may just live in a bubble regarding this :D
> Anyway, is there any reason as to why one would not use more mature
> languages like erlang and recently, dart?

Considering Inko is still very new, right now there isn't really a reason that
justifies using it in production. Of course in a year or two (depending on how
fast things go) that might completely changes.

Ignoring the maturity aspect, Dart and Inko are pretty different. Dart focuses
more on browsers and mobile (with Flutter), whereas Inko focuses more on backend
services (a web app, a key/value store, that kind of thing). In case of Dart the
focus directly affects the language, as for example symbol mangling (to compress
the source code) means reflection is harder (IIRC Dart's mirror implementation
is in a state of limbo because of this).

Erlang is much closer to Inko conceptually, though the two languages are quite
different, with Erlang being functional and Inko being object-oriented.
Competing with Erlang will be very hard: it's well established, mature, has a
healthy ecosystem, etc. Apart from the paradigm, I hope that Inko will
eventually have three big benefits over Erlang:

1. A better garbage collector, which translates to shorter pause timings, better
use of memory, etc.

2. A JIT. Inko doesn't have one at the moment, but it will have one eventually.
How long this takes I don't know. I'm not comfortable using LLVM as its GC
support is spotty (at least last I checked it was pretty much still a
nightmare), it breaks APIs every release, and every Linux distribution ships
a different (incompatible) version.

I'm hoping somebody writes a somewhat decent JIT library in Rust that I can use,
but so far there have only been basic building blocks made such as
https://crates.io/crates/dynasm.

For Erlang there have been various attempts at writing a JIT, but I believe
none of those ever made it to a production state.

3. Inko will be simpler. It's error handling model means you don't have to
monitor processes, as they can't crash unexpectedly (unless there is a bug,
which you shouldn't handle at runtime). Combined with the gradual typing
aspect I can see Inko being much less frustrating to use, be it for a small
prototype or a large application.
Well, my most recent argument above was explaining the logic behind my earlier claims about what was appropriate for the various platforms that recently banned Jones (I've been assuming hn readers connect the dots). I don't think Facebook, youtube or Apple have made Infowars in any way impossible to find or learn about - indeed, they've given him lots of publicity which no doubt allows many to discover his hateful ideas, still freely available on his website (still indexed by Google).

The various media platforms have, however, strongly interfered with his ability to profit from his lies, slander and malice and appropriately so. One can hope that a despicable thug like Jones winds-up in with his commercial empire collapsing and in state of destitution but unfortunately, he will mostly likely just slow shrink away.
