Seth is a big deal in the Chef community, so it's important to understand that. In fact, he's a big deal in the devops community.

What he did was make a statement. He made it clear to the Chef _company_ that he can not,non good conscience, contribute code to organizations that he feels are working with extremely bad actors. This is his way of protesting. Chef is able to (and in fact already has) ignored him and restored a copy of his code and formed it under a new name. (Citation needed but I believe that was a statement from Seth I'm Twitter.)

To everyone snubbing Seth for doing this, let's go "Nazi" with it. If Chef did a deal with the Aryan Nation and FOSS contributors pulled their core and support, would people feel the same? Probably not, right? Well, to many, what ICE is doing is _literally_ along the lines of what the Nazi party did. (I'm not asking that anyone agree with that sentiment, just that they acknowledge that it exists.)

So, Seth exercised his right to free speech and right to protest by publicly pulling support for an organization that he has helped significantly. This is a loss for the Chef org and the Chef community. It has also been quite effective because this isn't the first place where I've seen this conversation and it won't be the last, in the next few days.
I’m pretty sure there aren’t people in France trying to establish a violent worldwide theocracy, and even if there were, the French government would have a handle on it/not be complicit.

I know that is how it works. I disagree. The job of congress is to write/pass the laws/rules, not delegate it to someone else.

I'm not against the EPA writing a proposed law and then sending it to congress to pass: it is not possible for congress to be expert enough to write all the required regulations correctly. However it should be (in my opinion which you don't seem to get) up to congress to pass the rule or not in the end.

I will allow the executive to make a temporary regulation until congress can pass the law, but only so far as the law goes into effect (if passed) on the date of the regulation, until congress passes the law nothing will happen if you violate it - of course if it passes that is willful violation which may have a higher price to pay. If you can convince congress not to pass the law the regulation disappears at the end of the next session of congress and cannot be brought back.

Maybe not the right time and place to being this up, but I personally believe that such illegal activities conducted by the U.S. is hurting people of other nations who is fighting for their own democracy.

Just imagine China start to playing news such like this in those concentration camps, free golden material for showing people how rightful it is to follow the lead of CCP I'd say.

While it is true the U.S. is benefiting from it's strong global influence, but it is also true that nobody wants to be threatened. If the U.S. don't want to be the good guy in this game, at least don't be the bad one.

How should they tackle the "root cause?" It is fine to criticize the existing solutions, but this isn't offering a counter proposal that could be used when they're scrapped (and until this proposal exists and comes on-tap, they're better than nothing).
It's basically the culture on SO to take what were meant as guidelines as rules. Trying to question why should the rules forbid x or y will often end up on tautological "because it's the rule", I've seen it multiple times.

Building loads of independent power plants works for non-renewables because the availability of different power plants within the grid is uncorrelated. That isn't true for wind or solar. When the weather's unsuitable for wind or solar generation that means that all power plants in the region stop working, and because weather patterns can affect quite large geographic areas that can take out a huge swathe of power plants.

IIRC, it depends on your study period. Increasing the price of tobacco has been found to have diminishing effects. It was very effective when they first started doing it, but now the price is so high in some countries that price-sensitive smokers have already stopped and further increases do little.
This is a mind-boggling level of FUD. Content blockers have been noticeably superior on both macOS and iOS for years. They’re not “limited”, they’re rational. It’s abjectly absurd that traditional ad blockers can consume as much CPU as they do on every single page load. I hope everyone in this thread jumping ship to Firefox in a panic enjoys their shorter battery life.

I can't imagine Valve won't find some loophole or way around this. Being able to resell digital games would destroy that economy. A possible outcome would be games in France are never on sale and they can only be traded within the French Steam economy. Can Valve still take a cut of all sales on their platform or add fees? Very curious how this turns out, but I feel like it's 50/50 whether this makes things better or worse.

> It’s an unconventional way to use “subsidy,” but I think it fits.

I'm just gonna stop you right here.

If your goal is to communicate effectively and honestly, using unconventional usages of words is not the way to do it. Language is a convention for transferring ideas from one person's brain to another person's brain. If you have an idea in your head and you say something that puts a different (and in this case, incorrect) idea in someone else's head, you're miscommunicating. If you do that intentionally, that's lying.

When people read the phrase "The US government subsidizes fossil fuel companies", people think that the US government is giving money or other resources to fossil fuel companies. So if that's not what you mean, when you say it, you're not saying the truth.

The rest of your post is just trying to justify why the not-truth you're saying is kinda-sorta the same as the truth, but that's really not an argument I'm interested in entertaining. Let's just say the truth, please.

It is completely adequate to say, "Solar currently needs subsidies to compete with fossil fuels, but when you figure in the cost of damages caused by fossil fuels, solar is cheaper." We don't need to lie about this.
I think Apple may still be acting with privacy in mind, as opposed to being controlling. Extensions do pose a risk to users when they become popular enough, and there have been examples in Chrome where an ad company buys an extension and embeds tracking into it, or otherwise encourages the author to embed ads.

It doesn't invalidate the other motivation for wanting extensions to be published in the app store, of course, but I think the privacy use-case is sound.

There's a reason they are sitting in trailers half a world away operating the drones usually. Detachment. You're looking at a grainy image, from altitude, on a monitor many time zones away.

Even being in a conventional aircraft you are largely removed from the situation because you are thousands (or tens of thousands) of feet above your target and any individual is an unrecognizable speck that your weapon system strikes after you're already well past your target.

This is a problem, for society, with modern warfare. You can sit a mile away and 'paint' a target with IR for someone else to fire a missile with, or you can call in on your radio coordinates and have artillery take out your target from even farther away, or you can effectively emulate a video game and drop a bomb on a few pixels in Afghanistan while sitting in an air conditioned trailer in Nevada. You can wage war without ever having to see the face of the enemy, you strip the enemy of their humanity making it easier to kill.

I imagine some drone operators struggle with severe depression but I imagine it's generally less than an infantrymen that was in CQB firefights in Ramadi or Fallujah or a trench in WWI.

Modern warfare allows us to be cold and calculating, it allows us to pause our humanity. It's good for a military but it's bad for civilization.

There is no spin. Apple is pretty open about restricting freedom to increase security.

Many people don’t have time or inclination to check which extension is doing what. Proof is the fact that ublock and adblock are bad, but ublock origin is good.

Can you even begin to imagine how much of the Internet's total bandwidth is used on adware/shovelware/crapware? And crazier still, how much of the world finds most of the web completely unusable as a result?

Imagine trying to browse modern web pages on a dial-up speed connection. Many sites now completely refuse to load until you load their JS, which calls some external JS, which then renders the page. I run almost every web page without JS and Cloudflare is the number 1 reason for not being able to access a page.
If they are already there, they either get paid order of magnitude better(yes I’m not kidding some can’t even find job in US) or China brings tons of profit to their business (cheap labor and lower cost ecosystem) such that they accepted the risk.
Developer Portfolios
Disagreed. Content blockers are "dumb" as they just provide a list of URLs/regexes to block, which doesn't always work and doesn't allow behaviour-based blocking like "dynamic filtering" that some Javascript-based adblockers have.

Sure, it's technically possible for a JS blocker to use more CPU, but 1) it's a trade-off the user should be allowed to make (I'm happy to sacrifice some CPU in exchange for better ad blocking and privacy) and 2) I never had a case where a JS-based blocker noticeably impacted performance.

You may if you’re building freestanding code (code that doesn’t use the standard library), but do not specify that you are. I think that’s reasonable.

I do wonder why this is a LLVM feature, though, and not a clang one. The system should only make this change if it came from a C(++) compiler and the source included the system header (<string.h> or <cstring>) to get memcmp.

How can LLVM know that the symbol memcmp it sees came from that header, and not from user C code that may do something different, or even from, say, a Cobol compiler?

To build a PHEV with all the performance characteristics of a Battery Electric Vehicle while running on battery, you need a motor, battery, and inverter that's almost as large as those on a BEV.

So the best PHEVs tend to be those that look more like BEVs with an accessory motor/generator, which is the Volt (sadly now discontinued) and the i3 Range Extender (Range extender models discontinued in EU).

I think at some point things might flip around, with non-plugin hybrids being the economy option, pure BEVs being the mid-priced option, and BEV with a range extender being a premium option for those who want all the advantages of both.

Personally, I like the fact that Steam games can’t be resold. Why? Because that keeps the prices down since the resale value of a game does not need to be included in the price.

Nothing stops a user from packaging and installing these things in KISS, they just aren't included by default.

I envision KISS as a minimal base in which you extend to suit your needs and not something you need to cut to size.

As I state in the Philosophy; "it's easier to add things to a system than it is to remove them".

Firefox on Android is a usability shitshow compared to Chrome on Android. And I say that as someone who doesn't like Google products.

I think most people who wanted adblocking on Android switched to Brave instead, which is essentially a Chrome fork without the Google stuff and with better tracking protection.

Now Thyself

The first thing you have to do is to identify what is the real problem.

I don't know you, most of the people here do not know you personally so even if someone here is an expert on human behavior and productivity, is is way easier to identify the real problem if you are face to face with an expert.

Odds are that the problem(usually they are several problems) that you have is different to what you see as a problem(the consequence of the real problem).

This expert will read your body language, your voice nuances, your attitude much better than through plain text. This person could ask you about your life habits, that are super important(do you sleep , eat well, exercise, make love with your partner? Do you play and enjoy life?) and tell you what to do.

You probably are doing several things wrong, like working too much, not exercising, isolating yourself, judging yourself too harshly.

Over this you will probably feel anxiety that makes you procrastinate and do no work at all.

It takes a lot of reading, watching videos and practice over years in order to master productivity on your own. Just raw ideas and techniques are not enough, you need to whatch them in action, being applied to really understand. Specially watching masters.

And most important, you need to apply those techniques in your life, not just understand them. A mentor would be your external feedback if you apply the techniques or not.

Would you learn judo reading blogs? Or books? That would help, but a master will skyrocket your learning.

There are programs like "wake up productive"(from Eben Pagan) that you can watch as videos. There are torrents of it if you just want to know what is all about before buying.

A good psychologist could also help you a lot with any issues that you have while working on your own.

There are experts in programming that know the best techniques. Just ask them, make them your mentors if you can.

There are experts in human behavior. Ask them or make them your mentors.

There are experts in productivity...
