I don't quite buy this romantic image of an engineer trying to fight for the people still using the device in 10 years time - I really doubt this was designed so that it could be used after the lithium battery completely died.

More likely it was designed so you could use some batteries that you can buy anywhere in the world when you are out and about traveling/vacationing and the battery is flat.

I work at a fairly major place you've all heard of with a reputation for software engineering excellence etc. One of the engineering managers said something to me the other day: "You know, we engineers here at <Big Co> write our software with this idea that it needs to be extensible and flexible enough to handle anything, like it's going to be around forever. In reality a project only lasts 3 or 4 years, maybe 5 before it is deprecated, replaced, or shutdown. Imagine how much more we'd get done if we were more pragmatic and not obsessed with future-proofing something we know will be replaced soon"? Food for thought.
Is cocaine use throttled by supply? Not by the success level of anti-drug enforcement, or demand?

Naively, it seems that it's trivial to scale up production of illegal drugs. Growing it is the easiest part. Transport and delivery and sales is harder. Perhaps production is up because demand is up?

Brits' environmental footprints are less than 3% of the global total—and declining. Three percent is the upper bound of how much the UK can reduce emissions itself. Reducing 90% of UK emissions by 2050 will cost roughly $5 trillion. But this barely makes a dent in the current global emissions trajectory.

Because of diminishing returns, it is very hard to imagine reducing UK emissions to zero. This would mean replacing every last lightbulb with LEDs powered by zero carbon energy and having everyone fly in electric planes. It is much easier to conceive of an UK scientists or engineers improving technology, say, carbon capture technology so that the diffuse benefits reduce global emissions by >3%.

You're not wrong, but to many people, the appearance of a non-profit (notwithstanding the legal status of Mozilla Corp) operating in an extremely high CoL region isn't good.

If SV doesn't trigger that for you, think about, say, a non-profit headquartered in Monaco, that asks for donations so that its employees can have a nice home and QoL in Monaco with salaries several multiples of your own for comparable work.

Judging by my own experience, they have enough theory of mind to understand apologies, at least to the extent of laying aside a grudge; I offended a family of crows one time, getting too close to a nest and upsetting a fledgling, and after several days of potato-chip offerings close but not too close to where I'd given offense, they stopped giving alarm calls and swooping at me any time I walked out the door of the office where I then worked.

Doesn't this seem like a lot of people for a tool like NPM?

If all they did was make the NPM cli tool then that would be right, but NPM also has features like managing a private module repository, and paying for that, and they need to sell that feature, so really 50 people for a tech startup selling development tools isn't that many.
You're right, it's average wait time over all tasks. However, processing the shortest tasks first doesn't delay the long tasks much, if length is reasonably variable, because the short tasks are almost negligible to the long tasks, and the long take don't need to wait on even longer tasks.

If long tasks are stalling indefinitely under this policy, then under FCFS the queue length with grow without bound, and that's not really much better.
It doesn’t just imply it, that is exactly what it is. The bank is loaning your money out and then some (multiplied by whatever the current reserve ratios are).

Hi! Author of the post here. I can attempt to answer any questions if need be although it looks like others have done a great job doing that already!
This whole movement for having CoC in open source projects came about as a side-effect of the use of CoC for physical conferences, meetups, workshops etc. etc.; stuff where "is X being unprofessional to the point of outright aggressing on others, or making them feel unsafe to be here" can be critically important, and even the level of "diversity" at an event can be easily assessed and alter perceptions of 'belonging', ease-of-cooperation and the like in rather clear ways. The people involved simply thought of CoC as "good", and just weren't thinking about "hey, does this stuff really apply to computer-mediated collaboration? Is this even relevant?" It simply wasn't on their radar.
it doesn't explain anything!

this is a indepth user guide, at most.
Related: looking at the main image, there are lots of places where traces routinely deviate to go around a pad, with an extremely low clearance, needlessly so. The designer probably took a defensive approach: the traces have been routed to leave as much space as possible to easily allow additional traces in the same gap.

So to me this pcb is a rough draft, an unoptimized initial version. The optimization obviously wasn't worth any time (and I agree with that), but I think an EDA tool worth its price should take such a design and optimize it. Such details really aren't the job of a designer, but still have the potential to significantly improve a layout.

I only said it's important to be able to listen and acknowledge that people are troubled. That a person is troubled and therefore abusive to others is just an extension of that. I don't understand this downside you're explaining.
That's an arbitrary style choice in the spec. Saying "it's void so never use / " is no more natural than saying "it's void so always use /".

Arguably, it's bad style to use the same syntax for opening a tag as for a void tag, because it forces semantics into the syntax for trivial benefit. With out the "/", your HTML syntax parser now has to include a lexicon of all the void tags, and be updated with spec revisions.

Being fair, we could do the same thing, then.

I tend to think it's down to the artificial distinction between "Man" and "Nature" that's infested our ways of thinking about the world for the last, oh, several hundred years at least, I suppose. That distinction may not have been invented for the purpose of supporting a sense of superiority, but that's the effect it has had, and I think it's long past time we disposed of it for the useless and actively harmful distortion of perception that it is.

I only have Netflix because my parents have it. I've used it just a few times this year, as most of the shows I used to watch on it have been gone for awhile. Over the air TV is more than enough for me at this point, and I can use a USB tuner so I don't even need to be in the living room to watch it.

The only result of this fragmentation will be increased piracy, just like it was before the golden age of Netflix. The article claims "The golden age of streaming is over", but I believe it ended years ago.

Oh wow, that's terrible. Yeah, that's not decentralized at all, too bad...

EDIT: It looks like it can be decentralized, just nobody is running any nodes apart from the foundation. I wonder if that's because there isn't enough incentive, or that people just don't trust them. Either way, it's bad.
If you live in the Northeast or Midwest, unless you spend zero time in the woods (and you shouldn't, because the woods are great), you will get a deer tick on you at some point, and it might carry lyme.

My strategy? Go online and illegally buy doxycycline intended for fish tanks. The pills are exactly the same color, shape, and size as what you'd get from a pharmacy. If you find a tick on yourself, remove the tick correctly (do not crush his body), then crush a pill and make a paste, which you should apply topically.

If you wait to see a rash, you've waited too long. If you wait until you feel sick a few weeks later, you've waited too long. There are studies that report the rash appears only about half the time, and the blood tests are inaccurate for the first month or so after exposure.

These seem like excellent resources! It's still odd that the UK has been criticised for coal subsidies and the transparency around this if coal has shrunk so dramatically and even imports are relatively small.
Take the ideological (and incorrect) definition of not-for-profit vs for-profit companies. The for-profit company is supposed to be willing to utilize any sort of money-making opportunity to improve their bottom line which is supposed to be their goal. The not-for-profit company is supposed to sidestep opportunities that do not necessarily align with their mission, resulting in less profit but greater integrity, as maintaining their mission is supposed to be their goal. If this were the case, not-for-profit business would invariably end up with substantially less funding than comparable for-profit businesses. As a consequence of this, it would be fiscally impossible for them provide the same sort of compensation.

This is of course fallacious. But the reason for this is that not-for-profit and for-profit companies operate in mostly the same way. This is something that most people do not understand. This is precisely what I was aiming to point out to the person who initially said 'why would you ever contribute your time for free to a for-profit?' It's an intuitive, but incorrect understanding of the differences between the sort of a companies.
hiding packages you have installed from your ISP/NSA/etc.

this discussion comes up time and time again (in rpm, apt et al). the consensus is: if you need that extra feature, manually download sensitive packages via ssl or something. everyone else (with nothing to hide, heh) keeps benefiting from a global cache of unencrypted transport of (mostly) open source data.

Sure, the idea that the right solution is always sympathy and material assistance is a bit reductionistic.

But the idea that what's best for people is always tough love and a job is just as reductionistic and oversimplified.

And at scale, neither blanket solution is perfectly effective, but one at least leans towards kindness.
I don't think it's that simple. Sure, some things might not translate to digital communication, but many do.

I've been thinking about this a lot, actually. Advertising doesn't have to be terrible. We already have basically everyone on youtube sponsored by SquareSpace or nordvpn or something, right? Because the ads on youtube are shit pay and everyone hates them. People don't like the squarespace or nordvpn ads but they're more integrated into the video so they aren't as simply blockable, and at least they're paying the creator directly so they're seen as a more necessary evil.

Why not build advertising profiles, then, not on users? Why not build them on the channels? A few channels I follow already have models similar to this, like for example PBS Eons is sponsored by CuriosityStream which is 100% right up the alley of anyone who likes PBS Eons. So why not figure out a way to, instead of tracking everyone so aggressively everywhere they go, find some way to build advertising profiles that match with the content of the video? I've gotten so sick of seeing ads that are totally irrelevant to what I'm watching or reading that I use an adblocker everywhere I can - this is the only reason I still root my android phone. But surely we can do better? If I'm looking up, say, information about electronic drum sets as I've been doing the past few days, I should be getting ads on those youtube videos or those reddit pages or those reviews about other options I have. Seeing stuff about something I searched last week is both irrelevant AND creepy.

I'd thank malware authors and virus writers only if i was a platform vendor trying to find a scapegoat for why i "have" to take away control from users.

Thankfully i'm not one. But that doesn't make me blind on such schemes.

Also that background application you mention, even though it isn't necessarily needed in all cases, it is still a better solution than a locked down system since it is under the user's control.
I'd say the combat (except the bosses fight) is better, since it's a series of duel, compared to the confused brawls against respawning enemies. Boss fight aren't as good and mostly too repetitive. It's easier, with no penalty for successive failures, unlike SoT where, once the sand is depleted, it's back to a checkpoint. But the difficulty of platform sequences isn't lower (I'd say even harder for some). The visual style is good, but not as good as SoT (but YMMV, of course).

Edit: Also, unlike the linearity of SoT, PoP 2008 has areas that can be tackled in any order and you can go back to any area you've previously cleared: it's kinda open-world.

> The underlying assumption is that white and wealthy must not be worse off than the alternative.

It's less an assumption and more a nod towards the meme of white male privilege - the most popular case of “You’re a Group X member, so stop pretending like you have real problems.” on Tumblr, and on the Internet in general.

> But what if the environment itself creates problems that less affluent environments don't?

It probably does. Scott touches this in the paragraph that starts with: "This is also why I am wary whenever people start boasting about how much better we’re doing than back in the bad old days.", but he doesn't expand on it. However, it reminds me of another of his articles, "Burdens"[0], which expands on this more in context of people suffering from depression.

> There can be no regret without choice. The more money you have, the more real choices you get to make. And the more ways you can come to regret those choices.

Caveat: not all (or even most) misery comes from regret; moreover, this line of thinking applies more to society at large than individuals. For instance, if you're born in a developed world, into a family that embraced urbanization, it's quite likely that through no fault of your own, you won't get much care from the family in your old age and end up in care of strangers or alone.

Does that help? I thought the package size is quite revealing.
Pretty much. I am sure if I truly understood the inner workings of spark I would have been able to get it to work. I didn't go into it too much in the article but I did tweak the executor memory a lot. Going as far as transcribing the aws article on tuning into an R script that generated a config exactly as they stated. Also when I tried GLUE with its supposedly no-configure setup I still got the same problems.
