> I suspect you are correct here. We were shoving "recycling" in otherwise empty shipping containers and sending them to China...

This actually makes sense. The container trade imbalance leaves the U.S. with a large excess of containers (it costs more to return them than for China to make new ones apparently).

I actually just bought a condo on eastern shore of MD. The small town stopped recycling a few years ago to save $800K/yr, and is instead burning the trash in Pennsylvania at a power plant. I wrote the council an email and said I'm willing to pay more to reinstate recycling, and I bet many residents feel the same.

However, I do wonder, even if this hurdle is jumped, if the refuse is actually getting recycled in the end. Ignorance has been my bliss, but maybe it's time for me to stop being ignorant.
>>In countries with good waste management I assume they are burned if they are not recycled

Those countries are so rare that it's almost not worth mentioning. Vast majority of places around the world, including most of the developed world do not have "good waste management" by this definition. Even in countries as rich as UK, Germany and France most waste goes to a landfill, not an incinerator. Sure Sweden shows a good example how it can be done, but it's like dismissing the problem of car-related pollution because there exists one hydrogen car that you can actually buy. Yes, it doesn't have those problems but in the large scheme of things it's completely irrelevant.
I don’t know the industry but it seems to me that if the “trash” was bought by Chinese companies only to be dumped there for the most part then it’s still trash. Was it cheaper to ship this stuff to China than to pay American landfills to handle this stuff? I don’t think having someone pay for it matters. Isn’t it the end result that matters?

All AV ever did for me was find cracks (not virus infected cracks but simply cracks) or android rooting tools. I, too, stopped using AV around 10 years ago.

Not disagreeing, but looking at global temperature readings, temps were almost flat from 1940-1980. Weren't those decades characterized by interstates and polluting cars, and people living in suburbia? At least in the US.

Was the temperature ramp-up from 1980-2019 a delayed reaction? Or due to emerging nations getting industrialized?

Indeed, gitstatus is one of the reasons Powerlevel10k is faster than all other ZSH themes. It also uses a patched version of libgit2 that is 4 times faster than the original. There is some info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/b0suyu/powerlevel10k....

I see your point, but it’s hard to believe the Internet Archive has more ability to do this than Google does, since they were granted no rights whatsoever.

In my state glass is neither reused nor recycled, it's crushed and used as filler for things like environmental drainage projects. A big part of the problem in rural areas is the cost to transport glass makes it worthless to buy and recycle, and there's a high contamination rate, so increasingly it's back to the landfill for glass.
A product release in an established organization goes through legal checklist. It could have been one of those “our checklist for search, chrome, nest etc. can be same”. I am not defending nest.

You have touched on what i think is the critical underlying difference between Left and Right thinking.

Systemic responsibility vs personal responsibility.

The thing is, they are not mutually exclusive. They are more like two sides of the same coin. And while those two sides may not be exactly equal, most arguments between the sides seem to centre on the disjunct between these two ways of thinking.

If you can acknowledge, but frame the very real issue of personal responsibility within the context of a system, we may find it easier to bridge this divide.

For example, judge the responsibility of three hypothetical people with a sweet tooth.

1. Tries to eat healthy, but goes out to buy a cake every day.

2. Tries to eat healthy, but friend brings around cake every day to tempt.

3. Tries to eat healthy, but friend brings around cake everyday, and empties pantry of all other healthy food.

Most people will waver on 2. or 3. But depending on where you live, 3. may well be the closest to reality.

> Could you go more into detail about the 'taking a hit in the worse before better' way of getting out of it?

The case studies in the first paper are worth reading, but essentially you make it clear to everyone that you are going to take a hit on your primary production output in order to restore capability:

> Policy analysis showed that escaping the capability trap necessarily meant performance would deteriorate before it could improve: While continuing to repair breakdowns, the organization has to invest additional resources in planned maintenance, training and part quality, raising costs. Most importantly,increasing planned maintenance reduces uptime in the short run because operable equipment must be taken off-line for the planned maintenance to be done. Only later, as the Reinvestment loop begins to work in the virtuous direction, does the breakdown rate drop.

The reason that it's called the capability trap is that nobody wants to accept things getting worse. Everyone wants the improvements to be (1) free and (2) monotonic. But once you get stuck in the trap it's (1) expensive and (2) initially backwards. You slow primary production to make improvements and all the skeptics can see is that the numbers are worse, and didn't you promise to improve it? But the way out means going backwards on the primary metrics before you can free up capacity to improve capability.

And it doesn't even need skeptics to be hard. Even with all the good intentions in the world, it's very hard to avoid the temptation to prioritise your primary output over everything else. Sure, we should improve our CI/CD ... once we ship this feature. Sure, we should automate our disaster recovery ... but put out this fire first. Yes, we should create systems to manage the fleet better ... but can't let you refuse anyone's requests, we have a business to run. Yes, of course we need reserve capacity to deal with uncertainty, but don't you dare run anything less than maximum utilisation ... and also don't you dare say we're at maximum utilisation when I give you more to do.

Tried this a few weeks ago. The iPad Pro has the power but iOS is just too limiting still. You still need a remote system to do any real work on so it is just a £1000+ dumb terminal with a really dodgy keyboard (if using the Apple Smart Folio one anyway).

I am hoping Apple will update the 12" MacBook this year so I can try that out for an ultra-portable dev machine. I like the current model but the CPU options are poor/dated.
GUI frameworks have always been OOP-based because everybody was copying Xerox Parc. But even the most successful were not always easy to use (composition and control-flow/concurrency being particularly awkward). Modern GUIs are all based on HTML/CSS these days anyway and certainly not always OOP, as demonstrated by frameworks such as react.

Recycling is good for the world.

NO! YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG!!

Recycling is NOT good for the world. It is bad for the environment, it is bad for our health, and it is bad for our economy. I’m not kidding. Recycling is not good for the environment. It is destructive to the earth and it is a major contributor to global warming. Recycling is not good for our health. It contributes to obesity and diseases like heart disease and cancer. Recycling is bad for our economy. It increases the cost of a product, and in turn, the price of everything that is made with that product. Recycling is not good for our nation. We pay a tremendous price for the privilege of having the world’s most advanced and efficient recycling system. Recycling is a huge, colossal waste of time, energy, money, and resources. And THAT is why we need to get back to basics and get back to basics in our recycling efforts. One of the best ways to start is to look at the process of creating a paper product. When you make a paper product, it is basically a long chain of materials. Everything from the raw materials (wood, cardboard, paper, etc.), to the reagents (dyes, solvents, etc.) to the printing equipment (chemicals, glue, paper, ink, etc.), to the packaging, to the packaging materials (mercury, chemicals, etc.) to the processing equipment (heating, cooling, etc.), to the packaging materials, to the packaging materials that are shipped overseas and to the packaging materials that are used in the United States. Each step along the way creates tons of waste that we constantly have to clean up. The process of making a paper product is a very wasteful one. But the end result is something that all of us need to consume. And if we want to keep the recycling process running efficiently, then we really need to think about each and every step that goes into making a paper product.

Glass water and beer bottles are reused, thick-walled PET water bottles are reused, while most plastic (mostly PET) bottles and all cans are, at best, recycled.

For other and broken glass items there are glass containers pretty much everywhere, broken up by color (white glass, brown glass, green glass). Plastics delivered by consumers are separated but never recycled.

Back when I was helping people quite a bit about general computing support, I actually got frustrated by someone making bad judgement in this regard. Essentially, people get frustrated for things that iPad is just not fit for their job, in your analogy, complaining that their scooter won't work well over unpaved roads.

It's one thing if that user choose to make a wrong choice but they can service it themselves, but it becomes a nightmare story if someone's forced to support that.
As someone who was a heavy OVH user -- well, 100 or so dedicated servers -- and who just abandoned an attempt to migrate them to hetzner (who were slightly cheaper and offered NVME) -- let me suggest that you avoid Hetzner.

They blocked several critial IPs of mine without any warning, their support had absolutely no idea what the problem was and refused to unblock my IPs until I could convince them I'd solved the "problem" (which was an extra mac address appearing on one of my router addresses -- not an actual problem) and cost my business about 10k in the process. The email chain was... painful.

I've never had such a bad experience with a host before. YMMV of course, but I'm back on OVH and life is easy again...

If you have a recent version of Windows, the copy of OpenSSH you get with Bash for Windows would be ideal, as you then use the same tools everyone else does eliminating the Putty specific setup and terminal emulation bugs Windows devs generally need to go through. If you really need to use it, stick with Putty, as even then you benefit from other people having the same setup steps and experience, and as such common issues are more likely to be resolved.

Side thought: why doesn’t Putty follow a more normal setup and configuration process, i.e. why does it have its own private key format and tooling around that instead of using standards?

Making food requires huge amounts of energy. Pretty sure food waste is way worse, especially since there actually isn't that much plastic in food packaging per unit of food. For example, some ready-cut cheese, say 100 g, might come in a resealable plastic packaging; but that packaging maybe weighs a couple grams at most.

> I for one feel that + is a very intuitive choice for concatenating strings and lists. Is there any other common operator you would recommend instead?

Literally, any other operator would be better than addition. A space, a dot, a product, two dots, a minus sign, whatever. Anything except the visually commutative plus.

> Because I feel that using a less common one would harm beginner-friendliness significantly.

Usage of + for string concatenation is fairly new, probably invented by C++ (which, by the way, uses bit shift operators for output, so it is not really an example of sane language).
I think these issues are fundamental problems with communication. Sure some have been automated - but communicating is simply easier than it ever has been.

Ok, so it's impossible not to cite here Stanislaw Lem's short story "Trurl's electronic bard", from the Cyberiad collection.

In the story, a poet AI has been produced, and it's put to the test by asking it to compose poems on extremely specific subjects and following almost impossible rules. For example:

"a poem about a haircut! But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every word beginning with the letter "s"!

Not when everyone is wearing one of these watches. That's the point behind one of the parent comments. The traditional way of looking at medical screening is that you only go looking for something if there is a rationale.

So, for a heart monitor, you'd only have the test run if you had another symptom, such as shortness of breath, an irregular heart beat, etc... Otherwise, you will end up with many more false positives, which can be dangerous in and of itself. What if someone who legitimately has a heart condition had an Apple watch and ran the test. But what if that person then ignored the watch because all of their friends tried the same thing, and went to the doctor only to find out it wasn't anything to worry about. Their false positives could have a real impact on someone who had a true positive result.

The more you test, the more you'll find. Now, it's perfectly possible that many of the subjects in this study bought the watch specifically because they suspected that they had a heart condition. In which case, the study pool could be skewed away from the general population.

There is no way to adjust for this. The more people you screen, the more you'll find. Whether or not it's a true positive or false positive is another question. And I'd argue that Apple would need to skew their reporting towards removing false negatives instead of removing false positives, just from a liability point of view. You're much more likely to see Apple sued over this than a typical medical device manufacturer.
