I cook almost every day for my family. I would say that half the time I wish I had a closed floor plan, and half the time I'm glad I have an open one. Here's the deal. Sometimes I want my kids to stay out from under my feet when I'm cooking, and I want to just listen to my podcasts or whatever. Other times, especially when friends are over, I'm really glad I have an open plan kitchen.
Yes you're right and I was not saying otherwise. I was trying to point out that it's more the exception than the rule. The entire other 99% of the thread, and the OP topic itself is suggesting that relationships can only be win-lose
The world is building and deploying solar panels at break-neck speeds. Electric cars and other pollution reduction measures are coming online.

I'm well aware of the risks from existing coal burning plants, new plants being built in China/India/etc, shipping, feedback loops with stored CO2 in the ocean, all of it.

It's nice to imagine that the world can turn on a dime, but it can't. The global "situation" is going to get worse before it gets better, but the proverbial ball is rolling in the right direction.

A lot of people will see that as laziness, but businesses do that kind of cost-benefit adjustment all the time. If a business keeps paying a person who is working less, that's on them, not the employee.
How is that sustainable? Does the scheme lack a feedback loop of sorts or why doesn't he (or the stereotypical American people of similar attitude) realise that the overconfident-looking people aren't necessarily that competent?

Of all of the points listed, their eusocial nature is (to me) the weirdest. A quick Google search [0] shows that eusocial organization actually manifests not only with behavior, but with changes in physical characteristics. The 'queen' is bigger (presumably to facilitate having babies) and the guards develop longer teeth. Presumably, they're still diploid.

So, to anyone who speaks evolutionary genetics: what gives? My understanding was that it's evolutionarily advantageous for eusocial insects to cooperate at least in part because they're haploid.

For a rational agent the expected value of information is never negative. (Of course it can be less than the cost of the test.) If a system is treating it as negative, that's a problem to fix.

I'm reminded of a recent visit to a doctor who refused to say anything quantitative about a test. Sure, your average client knows little decision theory, but this doctor either didn't either or pretended not to follow. To make a good decision you need both probabilities and utilities; the doctor presumably best knows the former while the client best knows and cares about the latter, so they need to be able to communicate this way.
Google around for a project called NanoDroid (I'm not affiliated)

That guy has released a ROM patcher for most AOSP ROMs that can add in signature spoofing support. IIRC there was also flashable tooling for removing GApps from your device.

You'd need a custom recovery, though. Just flash your stock vendor image, remove GApps, flash the patcher, then flash microG. I'm simplifying a bit, but it might be possible.

Not jargon. The ability to read/write code is a knowledge domain. Literacy allows communication about all sorts of knowledge domains (software being one).

But knowledge of the software world does not (dis)qualify one for business leadership, or to be a heart surgeon, or a janitor, or any number of fields. Your original post implied that knowledge of software, the "new literacy" is a prerequisite for any moderately advanced task, which is nonsense.

I find it sad that things like rising sea levels and mass extinction do not worry you. Should someone only care about things that affect their own personal life? Rising sea levels are going to affect a large amount of people negatively, and mass extinction means we are losing a lot of biodiversity that we needn't be. Your viewpoint seems to lack empathy for other people and other species.
> On the other side, many young people end up having to help their parents make rent.

I have been in that position since my early 20s (I'm now approaching my 40s), well, since I was 21 or 22, meaning ever since I got my first salary. I didn't have to pay for my parents' rent but I did have to send my parents money regularly, each month, for almost 20 years now, because it's hard to pay your power bills and to buy basic stuff like bread or edible oil well when you live on subsistence agriculture, like my parents do. Paul Graham's view is very US suburban-centric, like most of the products and cultural views coming out of Silicon Valley.
I agree with you and I doubt we'll see self-driving cars before we see self-driving trains (like trams in cities).

The problem space is vastly more simpler for self-driving trains; trains move on rails, rails do not move, trains/trams cannot move sideways at will, stations do not move, and so on.
FB shareholders do not care about metrics, they care about ad revenue. The shareholders of companies spending ad money do not care about metrics, they care about revenue. People who buy those ads care about metrics, but while they cannot see inside the FB machine and need to trust them somewhat regarding views and reach they have absolute visibility on the results of that ad spend and where those visitors are coming from. These last two are not things that Facebook could fake for very long...
> I want to cook for an hour without being alone. Privacy in the kitchen would never be desireable.

When you have small kids:

- You want them away from boiling water, dropped knives, and dangerously hot ovens.

- You want them to keep sleeping even though you're vacuuming

- You might want to let them watch Baby Shark for the 1000th blasted time while leaving you out of it

- You might want to read a novel while they hold miniature My Little Pony melodramas

- You might want to start a project on a table, leave it alone for an hour (behind closed doors), then come back to it where you left it

- You might want to have adult conversations about adult subjects (death, money, parenting) without unprepared ears listening in

You probably do want to incorporate them into dining, family choices, and cooking, but only in controlled ways.
I think the phrase you want is "exhaust hood" (also known as a "range hood" or "kitchen hood", or more colloquially just a "vent").

> The solution is having a brand, and building that brand based on trust.

You mean like Boeing's 737 MAX8 aircraft? Or Purdue pharma's Oxycotin (aka: that opioid that Purdue Pharma claimed was non-addicting, except it kick-started the entire opioid crisis because spoiler alert: its opium-based and therefore very very addicting?)

1. Big brands make mistakes.

2. Consumers don't know the brands: do you know whether or not your drugs are Purdue Pharma or not?

3. Brands are sold. The original company who made a brand may have cared very much about it. But 10 years or 20 years later, the brand may be owned by entirely new people. Either everyone has retired / moved on, so the company is simply consisting of new people... or maybe the brand was chopped-up and sold to 3 or 4 different companies. Quick: who owns Epipen right now? (That drug brand has been passed around at least 3 times in the past decade)
Chopping vegetables, yes. But when the fire is on, or there's a frying pan, I wish everyone would leave the kitchen. I don't want to be responsible for any burns or accidents. Now that I think about it, when I'm holding a sharp knife I also want everyone away. My fear is that a chatty guest who's not paying attention will walk into the point of my knife (and yes, because of that fear I'm constantly worrying about where the knife is pointed, but still... that's brain cycles I'm not able to spend on actually cooking).
I live in a 2100 square foot house and the living room, dining room, and kitchen are all the same giant room. We got the house mostly because of this room, because it allows us to keep tabs on our two little ones pretty easily. We don’t make great use of the other 1000 square feet. It was more an issue of “we want to live in this nice neighborhood” so we bought too much house. I really wish I could have bought a 1200 square footer in a safe neighborhood but where I live in flyover country that’s just not how it works.

> One reason even big ol sysvinit is superior to systemd is that shell scripts are transitive knowledge.

In theory. In practice systemd's actually much more transitive since many distros have adopted it and systemd services tend to work cross-distro, so once you learn systemd you can somewhat confidently manage Fedora, RHEL, Ubuntu, Arch, SuSE, Nix etc.

sysvinit shell scripts often differed in subtle ways between distros and the particular distro implementation was rarely transportable without quite a bit of work.

> You can do almost everything with shell scripts.

This cuts both ways. I'd argue the problem with sysvinit was precisely the fact that you can do almost everything with shell scripts, since now you're executing a script as root that can do almost anything, depends heavily on the bash abilities of the author to not introduce subtle bugs, or break easily, (which varied heavily from script to script and distro to distro), and to not be a security nightmare.

This really seems like an extended "stop liking what I don't like" rant. There are legitimate reasons to prefer either open or closed kitchens, and most of them come down to personal preference. Personally, I like being in open, airy spaces. It's got nothing to do with "entertaining."

Also, this:

> A large, single, continuous space is harder to get and keep clean. Messes and smells are no longer isolated, but can be easily tracked throughout the entire first floor of a large home. Less house in general means less house to clean.

...What? Sure, more walls make it easier to ignore messes, but that's not the same thing as easier to clean.
I am not in any camp.

I do think that systemd is very useful but have concerns that they simply don't have the man power to maintain that broad feature set and scope they have set themselves.

What previously would be done in multiple different competing projects by different people with different ideas in different companies, is now done in a single code-base. I can imagine that innovation will be hindered that way, because systemd is not Linux. But maybe some day it will be, IDK. Currently it is just to big to scale that well to small systems though.
> Was a fun game.

Yikes, sounds like it.
It's not unheard of for a company to bring a piece of equipment on site only to find it cannot move through a given space because material is in the way.

This is precisely the kind of situation I was thinking about!

This is a situation in which a completely 3D representation is really powerful and the effort can save significant money in the long run.

I think this is a key criteria for determining what problems should be looked at.

Collaborate and create more organised processes within your organisation
To that I'd just go "sure!", but I'm just a guy. The first thing that jumps out to me, though, is the question of who pays for the doing of it and the testing of it? From what I know (and I've been learning a lot today, it's been productive!), it seems like you're likely to undertake a Devuan level of effort to do it with Debian, and your patchset is going to be so broad as to effectively fork the core anyway. Is there value, then, in tagging along with that major distro? What do you get, then, if you're the second-class citizen? I'm reminded of stuff like Kubuntu, which (and I say this as a long-time KDE fan) has historically limped along with only moderate love--and that's a DE, it's a lot easier to handle DE differences than core init differences, service management differences, etc. (We have the XDG standards and the like, after all. Though I guess, in a certain light, systemd's trying to be XDG-for-the-core, which attacks the question we're looking at directly, yeah?)

The other thing that jumps out at me is just that this hypothetical is mostly kicking the can down the road. If Fedora suddenly decided to support multiple init systems I think it's hard to envision a future where the happy path wouldn't remain systemd; it's what the core folks think is best, otherwise they wouldn't use it now, and even with additional support the lion's share of attention would go to that happy path. To that end I think that any sort of init choice in those distros just becomes "so we'll support it for now, but the set of third party stuff that supports it is going to continue to shrink, so I hope you have an off-ramp in the future."

Between these two issues it seems like separate distros that have a firm commitment to not-systemd end up being necessary anyway and an ecosystem of not-systemd stuff will need to compete for value on those merits. What am I missing?

As marcosdumay said upthread, “Systemd has a historic of refusing to fill CVEs, even for incredibly bad vulnerabilities.”

This contributes to the low rate of CVEs in systemd relative to Linux (for which many less-important bugs get CVEs).

We had a very similar experience! My grandfather and his lady-friend came over to see our new house, remarked on how much space there was, and proceeded to spend the rest of the visit making little remarks about how to better separate the parts of the house from each other.

Most FB advertisers measure sales from Facebook directly using 1st or 3rd party cookies. So you can see that you spent 100k and made 200k.

It’s not representative. Most millenials are sub 60k and have loads of debt. You have a very skewed view. Most people can’t save 80% of their income because their housing costs are at least 30%z
I use the extension "Hide Fixed Elements" which is similar.
My distinction is that, for many, being poor isn't starting from the bottom, but rather being in the hole. While they both have nothing to lose, someone starting from the bottom has a lot more to gain given they aren't paying into the trap of debt, and debt is very prolific given that student loan debt has been on the rise.
> I would guess this author does not cook

Exactly the opposite. People with open floor plans don't cook every day, otherwise their home will smell like a cheap restaurant, unless they got used to it.

My parents have an open plan, i don't. My home smells fresh every day (except kitchen) despite cooking every day, their house, smells like food in every corner because the smell impregnates in every material(especially in the winter) and is very hard to get it out.

> The trouble is everyone congergrates in the kitchen! That's fine if it's nice and wide and has plenty of counter space, but awful if it's really tiny and the only means between the living room and the patio where your other friend is grilling.

This is one of the many reasons why open floor plans aren't going anywhere. Even without the "entertaining" aspect, people still cook for their families.

I grew up in an early 1900s Coastal Victorian house. While my parents cooked dinner after work in our small kitchen, my brother and I would usually hang out under their feet an in the way. Playing in the living room or upstairs meant we didn't see them until dinner time.

I live in a modern "open concept" now. My wife and I cook dinner after work while the kids play in the dining or living room and nobody has to be forced into isolation. The high-flow If anybody wants alone time, there's a small office downstairs and bedrooms upstairs.
For some, maybe. But not at all for me. I'd argue internet has greatly reduced if not almost eliminated need for driving car for many people. I could get by without car for week. Not having internet for same period much less so.

All my finances, banks, retirement, taxes, budgeting etc is online. most of my work (email, googling, tools) is only possible online, 90+ percent of my entertainment and social media is online. My maps, calendar, appointments, education, finding things out such as court houses address or phone number of restaurant is online. Much of my medical (presprections, appoint schedule, doctor/nurse correspondence) is online. Most of my shopping is on line.
I'm pessimistic about my life because it seems increasingly likely I'll never marry.
My experience is that I have hundreds of people to snooze, and would rather just have a fresh start and let those people trickle back in if they want to. Maybe I should just make a new account.
