If I were one to build appliances, I would probably start by pumping liquid refrigerant through thermally-conductive shelves, and dispense entirely with blowing the cold air around. Air has almost no thermal mass. Water with a bit of ammonia dissolved in it is probably what is circulating through aluminum tubes.

Put the food to be chilled directly on the cold shelf, and the heat is removed by conduction, rather than convection.

Once we have that squared away, separate the portion of the appliance responsible for removing the heat from the portion responsible for storing the food. Stop selling the ugly awkward insulated cabinet attached the refrigerator. Now you have your standard back end, which does nothing but circulate fluid at a specific temperature through external hoses, and a customizable variety of front ends with standardized refrigeration hose fittings.

I'd want my insulated food storage cabinets to have evacuated double-paned glass windows in them, proximity-activated fluorescent tube lights, be relatively shallow for fridge shelves, and have pegboards on the back wall. I hate having to move front-food around to get to the back-food. It should all be front-food, which means shelves that are wide and not deep. One cannot do this with a monolithic appliance. One can easily do this with modular parts.

The deepest foods I ever want to store are large pizza boxes. Even those don't fill up the entire depth of a typical fridge.
True, but you still can choose to love one person more than you love the rest :-) After limerence is gone, love is a choice.
Yet another example of how Google "support" seems modeled on the senseless, frustrating, and destructive systems warned of in Kafka. Opaque rules and literally inhuman inflexibility. The problems is Google can suffer any number of these small scale gaffs without consequence, while any truly large account would probably be given the courtesy of outreach before a blind suspension, and real live support afterwards if it went that far. So for now they can do this with impunity. However with the Spectre of Amazon ads on the horizon true competition may arise, and Amazon has decent support. As things stand now, anyone starting out would be well advised to steer clear of relying on any part of Google services for critical needs.
One thing I wonder about is if the large sprawl development can scale and is economically sustainable over long term. Looking at bay area cities finances most of them are in debt (and we're at the peak of a 10+ year economic boost in this area) and will be even into more debt in the future considering the pension obligations that they already signed up for and how even now, in a great economy, they are going behind with the required road maintenance.

Let me rephrase this more clearly: in a large sprawl development, the number of road feet per person is larger (obviously) so the maintenance goes up too (although not necessarily completely linear), does the amount of local tax income also scale in a way that can maintain much larger road maintenance cost per capita long term?
Yep, you are right and I do regret this back-handed defense to some extent, thanks for engaging despite my bad faith.

Fascinating article, is this common practice? Anyone know of companies successfully selling license exceptions?
It's quite unusual how little this is really necessary. For instance a read I found incredibly fascinating was Konungs skuggsjá - The King's Mirror [1]. It was a book written for the education of the heir of King Haakon IV of Norway, in the 1200s. It takes the form of hypothetical questions from the son and prepared answers from the father.

It covers a wide array of training and topics. And you'd think you'd need an encyclopedia of references aside to understand the day and age of which it spoke. It features extensive religious and political references, yet the weird thing is a book written for royalty around 800 years ago feels oddly familiar. And in reality I found a good deal of the advice and knowledge it shared not only interesting but actually quite useful and wise. It also rather gives proof to the meaning of the tale of Damocles, without in any way intending to do such!

>You need to deal with the issues you have, you cannot simply wish them gone. If you don’t deal with it, you will definitely carry it with you way longer then you should

My wife is a psychologist. She is always interested in listening to me, and I've told her whatever I think and she's ok with that.

I don't think I've some issues. There were some women who told me I am exceptionally handsome, they stay with me for sometime - then I found them cheating. Some were with me for money. And my wife so far is the only person who isn't like any of the ones I met in past, so there is some hope. But I also told her, I assume that one day you'll cheat on me too.

I don't think they've wronged me or anything. I don't hold grudge against women, it's just I realize their nature and have made peace with it. Ofc, all my conclusions come from my own observation. If you did not have such major setbacks in life, I am happy for you.

Thing is, you think I am rejected by women - so I am bitter.

But reality is far from it. I've friend's girlfriend hitting on me, provoking me to cheat with them on their boyfriends. I've married women at office coming to me to again cheat on their husbands. Then the ones I loved, cheated on me and left me. I've so many opportunities to sleep with women that I think there are no feelings involved in anything when it comes to them and they just like tingles and money.
> Yet consequentialism involves endorsing not just instrumental harm, but also impartial beneficence, treating the well-being of every individual as equally important.

I think that impartial beneficence applies as much to deontology as it does to consequentialism though, doesn't it? If I'm not mistaken, impartial beneficence is categorical under the Kingdom of Ends. Conversely, the assumption that consequentialism always leads to altruism mainly applies for utilitarianism, but not necessarily for all forms of consequentialism.

So I don't think it's a good idea to conflate deontology with in-group favoritism and vice versa as the article seems to imply.
As mentioned in the article, there's been a feminist SF convention, WisCon, running since 1977:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiscon

http://wiscon.net/about/history/

http://sf3.org/history/a-history-of-wiscon/

It gets about a thousand attendees each year, which makes it similar to, or slightly larger than, Eastercon, the UK's national SF convention. I know a few people from the UK who go. My generaly impression is that it's very highly regarded.

I took similar approach a while ago. I don't run google ads and I am not doing any business with them but I have lots of important data on my Google Drive (personal backup) that I really wouldn't want to lose. One day I read a story of a guy who had his account shut down for posting a video (innocent in his own claims) to youtube. As a result he lost access to his gmail and Drive too. This was a wake up call for me as I realised that I could be denied access to my data for whatever reason. I have several additional copies now, both on local hard drives and different cloud providers.
The problem with mental models is that they are domain specific. My domain is sports data, solving problems is easy because I have 10 years of experience and a cookbook of models (can we say patterns) to apply to any given problem

Good mental models == Lots of experience

I suspect that the senior that interviewed you would be out of his depth if he moved into another domain. I definitely would. But then again having lots of experience helps you identify the patterns - sorry models - quicker and recognise the problems that you will need to guard against

"Building mental models" sounds like a deliberate cognitive act. To be honest it is more like recognising which part of an existing system would best fit the problem and what changes are need to be made to get a better fit

Which kinda makes it sound a lot less glamorous :)

Anyhow let me repeat:

Good mental models == Lots of experience
>Why should the resources not come from the companies extracting the most cash value from open source?

This is easy to answer: Because most/all those open source writers explicitly said it's OK for the users of their software not to provide them cash for it. If I openly say you can use my stuff for free, and then later come and say you are morally obligated to pay me because you made huge profit from my stuff, then my integrity is compromised.

It's totally fine to say "I will no longer respond to support tickets for free", though.

You may very well go to a movie theater and have a bad experience because an advertiser took a movie they knew was awful and made an appealing trailer for it. The advertiser is just as willing to persuade you to see a bad movie as a good one. They aren't operating in your interest.

Far from negatively impacting your life at all, blocking ads significantly improves it. Try it out yourself. I think you'll find that through various interactions with the general public, people who aren't paid to lie about products or services, you still find out about movies worth watching.

It doesn't seem that implausible given a military (or terrorist) operation of some kind. If you're raiding an important locked-down government facility, armed to the teeth but unable to enter the facility with explosives, then it seems reasonable to try forcing an employee to stand next to the scanner (which this technology obviously wouldn't prevent), or knocking them out or killing them and putting their face up to the scanner. Though ideally the facility would use MFA (combining the retina scan with a passcode or something).

It's one of the biggest issues of the modern Internet that affect us: relatively rich, privileged people engaged in business primarily on the Internet. It's one of the smaller issues for most of the users of the Internet, who have much more significant problems, like governments spying on their Internet use, governments blocking big sections of the Internet, corporate monopolies making only certain parts of the Internet free and others prohibitively expensive, fraud, and all sorts of other problems.

Housing, on average, rises at the rate of inflation (it's closely linked to the cost of new construction), per Robert Shiller's research. Even if the housing market explodes in one area, there's almost certainly another area where it hasn't (normally one without restrictions on new construction-San Fransisco being a prime example of a place where housing prices have skyrocketed due to such restrictions).

It could be. Since we've never seen a shift, we don't really know how it looks.

2.5 MiB is about what you expect the kernel size to be for an embedded device :)

Everything is an embedded device nowadays, so for reference, if you buy a WiFi AP today and open it up, you're likely to find a 8 or 16 MiB NOR flash inside, maybe a 128 MiB NAND flash (with realistically 64 MiB space since it will be doing A/B updates).

I don't think the database size is a big concern. For me the focus in dqlite is very much on the 'd' - you store atomic configuration data in there, it's not about throughput.
Not downvoting, but I'll comment on a few assertions:

> the world is gynocentric

Strange claim. How would anyone objectively refute that? How would you realistically prove it? It sounds along the lines of "everyone does everything to be remembered" or "your fate is written in the stars - you just can't read it."

> Stoicism, is red pill philosophy

That sounds like "Christianity is a Brazilian religion." It's true that some red pillers claim to be into it, but it's not an informative or precise way to frame it. Especially since women can be and are stoics too. (In fact, given their status in many countries I'd bet there are more "true Scotsman" stoic women than men!)

> "now opposite sex which is used to receiving nice things from me"

As long as you aren't introducing harm into their lives or refusing to view them as people that experience harm (both of which I'm assuming to be true) - I'm betting the vast majority of women would be totally fine with your stoicism. (And would prefer it to a lot of the alternatives.)

> You can use this philosophy to shield you from anything and everything

I think I get what you're going for, but to be clear for others - stoicism isn't about sticking your head in the sand. You can endure something and change it at the same time, it's about how you bear the thing before you've changed it and how you handle it when you don't succeed in changing things. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor! Not a "sidelines" kinda dude ya know?

At the end of the day though, if you're getting something out stoicism that has improved your life then you have every right to claim and embrace that. It's not like Seneca's running around suing people for defamation and it's not like I've ever met the guy to really know what was in his head...
To clarify: for the moment, there is no project to rewrite SpiderMonkey in Rust. However, any bit of SpiderMonkey that needs to be rewritten will be rewritten in Rust if possible, and new features that can be written in Rust will generally be written in Rust.

Note that not everything can be easily rewritten in Rust due to the existence of lots of C++ code using macros and templates. Getting such to interact with any other language than C++ is painful.

> At the far end are propositions where you have to cook up a really abstruse counterexample to show they aren't true. But that's tantamount to saying that they almost are true. And in fact a lot of the time you can treat them as true and not get into trouble.

It seems as if you totally didn't get the point of proof based mathematics. Falsity is not a continuum, either something is false or its true. If you can produce a counterexample the proposition is false.

I never used dating apps, it always seemed like a ridiculous waste of time, at least for men. But as I am semi-introverted and don't drink, I also had no idea where to meet people. One day I found meetin.org, which was a very active community 15 years ago (today not so much, but meetup.com is somewhat similar). Through meetin.org I attended a Salsa class with other members, then started taking other salsa classes on my own and eventually found my wife at a party when my dance teacher introduced me to her.

I'm new to the wider development field so I'm pretty ignorant to the dynamics of how things work right now or what it takes to maintain an open source project; how come a bounty system isn't more prevalent?

I know bountysource exists, but I rarely see it brought up.

Wouldn't work for all packages or projects, but for the ones with big corporate use that are still being developed, it seems like a straight forward way to have a project be more self sustaining vs hoping ppl decide to donate.

Seems like a decent first step towards a wider system that could track what packages you use, or that you manually list, with each package or project having a monthly "sustainability goal" set by the maintainer. So that critical packages used by everyone can have more visibility and a more dynamic support system with lower barrier between the maintainer and the wider community. I've always felt that the "subscription" model of things like patreon or similar is too much of a mental commitment for most ppl. Besides, my needs change month to month, and so would what I want to support. Having wider "sustainability" goals with an easy way to donate to them would encourage me to efficiently support the projects I find most useful or inspiring to me. Basically having the data and seeing what projects that are important to me and are currently short funded, and also having an easy system to directly support them without long term commitments.

It's that visibility of the current state of different foss projects that I feel needs to be addressed, before any creative solutions on monetization can really be layered on top.
I doubt it'd be too much worse than a regular black car parked in the sun.
> You can't ensure delivery or uniform uptake otherwise

That's all true (and I agree), but that's a practical/technical issue. That may be solvable, but even in that case, that's not the whole story. There are also developmental biology issues at play once you have a full organism (or even an embryo that is just a few cell divisions in). The way our bodies operate as adults is just as much a function of how our cells developed and grew as it is a product of genetics. There are a lot of processes that happen only at very specific timepoints in development. And once you're past those points, editing the genes required won't have any phenotypic effect.

We can alter genetics with CRISPR. We can't alter morphology in the same way. For example, in certain eye diseases, you can have a loss of a gene that is involved in how the retina processes light. But, the same gene is also involved in how the optic nerve is formed (or migrates) in the brain. You could use gene editing approaches to knock in a good copy of the gene, which might help the retina absorb light, but the nerves have already formed and are already in place. That isn't going to change.

And none of that actually addresses the ethics involved in changing the genetics of a person, which is non-trivial to say the least.
