Meanwhile, i finally got off my lazy ass and figured out how to add justified-alignment to the Firefox Reader View.

NOTE: Involves restarting Firefox.

1. Locate the Firefox profile directory on your system.

On Windows, this is typically a directory like :

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile-directory>

The definitive method to locate the profile directory would be to visit the about:support page in Firefox, and check the value of the property Profile Folder.

2. Within the above identified profile directory, open the sub-directory chrome. If a chrome sub-directory does NOT exist within the profile directory, create it.

3. In the above chrome directory, create an empty file userContent.css.

4. Open the above userContent.css and add the following lines to it :

.moz-reader-content {
text-align: justify;
}

5. Force custom stylesheets

Visit the about:config page in Firefox, search for the property toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, and ensure it is toggled to True.

6. Restart Firefox.

7. Open a page, switch to reader mode, and enjoy the justified text!! \(^.^)/

The whole "deep fake" controversy is only going on because the elite politicians all have blackmail videos that are probably in the hands of people that will soon make them public and the media is preparing the big lie that these are just "deep fakes, nothing to see here, move along." Meanwhile, the truth is that these people actually did do the heinous things we all think they did.

Just look at what Prince Andrew tried to do: He was out whoring around and had photos taken--with the whore--and he has attempted to deny it citing that the photos are faked. But honestly, his own behavior and track record makes it clear that he is lying and that in all likelihood, he did in fact have sex with a 17 year old woman and all the allegations are true.

The worst part of all this is that Prince Andrew's transgressions are the ones they WANT you to see because they are the ones that are more easy for the public to write off (she was 17 and consenting) and it was bad but just his bad judgement or what have you.

My sense is that these "simple" cases are the are the tip of the iceberg, however. The ones they DON'T want you to see haven't been made public yet. And those are truly, pitchforks and torches, bad.
My guess is when you don't make it a hard core coding thing but more of a general search quest it would be more succesful. Like in this case: you need to have a search function / filter options on those tables. Even transfering it to Excel (the horror) would increase the target population with huge factor.
I’ve never thought of that as the debate. Not providing care is not killing someone. We already do plenty of that in the US. The debate is about giving someone a quick, painless death via the application of certain medications as opposed to letting someone waste away painfully.
the markets are at all time highs

Isn't the world economy built on the idea that markets will always go up? Every year should be an all time high, otherwise we're in recession which is (apparently) tragedy to be avoided at all costs, no?
Out of so many companies in the world, this might be the worst example. Amazon, whilst perhaps not doing super well in terms of profits, does not burn through its investors money and diversifies like crazy.
I know it isn't quite as bad, but in the US, many European (or other foreign) are practically impossible to watch legally. Streaming services don't stream them, and dvds and blu rays are region-locked.
Amazon does make a profit though. And when they weren't, it was by choice and they were not burning billions in investor dollars to do it. But yes, I probably should've said "Viability" instead of "Profitability".
Hundreds of people who are not Uber CEO's are continuing to hold Uber stock. Not controlling a company is not a common reason to sell.

The article's implication - that Kalanick is simply pessimistic about his investment in Uber - seems more reasonable.
Not sure how the meaning of the phrase "it sounds like" plays into this.

My point was that you accuse the parent of arrogance, while he was merely mirroring/responding to the arrogant tone in your comment (in the lines I've quoted).

That is, my point wasn't that you made an absolute claim ("your code is X") that was false. If that was my claim, yes, you could refute it by saying "I only said that it sounds like X is the case, I didn't make an absolute claim".

But my point was rather that the tone in your comment was arrogant.

"Your code base simply wasn't too big after all" is equally arrogant whether prefixed with "sounds like" or not.

It makes assumptions about the size of the other person's codebases, and it arrogantly implies that they don't see what they see because they haven't worked in as large codebases as you have.

With non-alcoholic fatty liver disease rising along with morbid obesity among the populace, it may, in fact, no longer be safe.

Fructose metabolism happens mainly in the liver, just like ethanol metabolism. It doesn't affect the brain in the same way, though, which is why a blood-fructose level isn't a test the police will give you for driving poorly.

It may be that ethanol-containing drinks are safer than fructose-containing foods and drinks, health-wise, but we find it harder to cut down on the latter. If you're giving up ethanol for health reasons, you might want to also swap glucose for fructose, and maltose (glucose+glucose) for sucrose (glucose+fructose). Only eat foods with a small amount of naturally-occurring fructose, like fruits.

Awesome!

When you build your own computers there’s nobody to tell you that the warranty has ended, so you just leave them in the rack as long as they are TCO-positive.

It looks like about half the lot is striped for cars and the other half striped for plane storage. But, the planes are overflowing and filling most of both sections. There's also a large gate on the lot, with street controls (parking lot is across a busy street from the factory, it appears) so Boeing must regularly use part of it for planes.

Debord in this book insists on being obtuse and obfuscates relatively simple ideas. Worse, he would masquerade opinions as reasoning and loves using vague words without defining them, jumping from one possible meaning to the other the next sentence.

This has been my experience with a lot of academic humanities writing in English. I can't take anything written like this seriously. I shouldn't be surprised that other languages would have the same problem.

Can content providers not include a digital signature in the video metadata? Then you can authenticate the video against the original provider, a bit like the green padlock next to the URL bar in Chrome.

Even better (though I'm not sure this technology exists yet), some some kind of "rolling signature", available running along side the video in metadata, that a media player can use to validate the authenticity of the video at that point in time. Then you don't need the full video to be able to verify the source.
I'm not sure about that in the case of git. I used the terminal UI exclusively for a long time but it's so bizarrely designed that I've been interested in using a GUI for a while. There are a lot of reasons a dev should learn to use a terminal but making git more pleasant to use isn't necessarily one of them.

GUIs aren't super flexible but they are good at taking a common flow users go through and making it stupid simple to exercise. A lot of the usage of git should be stupid simple, with only infrequent need for complex interaction. Obviously there are some people out there for which a GUI will never be sufficient for their needs, but I'd argue it isn't the common case.

> similar cultural affection to hallucinogens, pot or even pure methamphetamines would be less harmful

As someone who lived in a region with heavy meth use, I can tell you that I would much rather deal with drunk people than meth heads. Also, your sentences before this one don't make any sense, "alcohol as a solvent is very similar to many inhalants as a drug" what does that even mean?

> Imagine a sci-fi story where you encounter human settlement that consumes solvent

In your sci-fi story you forgot to mention that this solvent people drink also tastes very good, produces a sense of euphoria, lowers social inhibitions and reduces stress.

> Women wearing high-heels is be another very odd cultural artifact

No, same as your sci-fi story it would not. The reasons behind high heels are sad and ridiculous, but rather obvious. High heels make you look taller, give more definition to your legs and make you look a bit helpless and fragile. All of this is in tune with making females look more attractive in a male dominated society.
You can read more at [1] - in short, critics of the new gTLDs would argue that:

1. It doesn't deliver the claimed increase the supply of domain names, as no-one would build a business or brand on whatever.info without securing whatever.com

2. It does shake down domain registrants for cash - if you already own whatever.com you'd better get whatever.info and whatever.sucks before someone else squats them.

3. These factors mean .info domains and suchlike are a stereotype of sketchy sites, which is a negative feedback loop.

Well here are the books I’m currently reading (physical, kindle, and audible). I bounce around a lot. Sometimes it takes me a week to finish a book, other times I take a few months. Sometimes I never finish. But these are the ones I have some progress on so far:

2. I am That

3. Book of why

4. The gift by hafiz

5. Simulacra and simulation

6. Candide by Voltaire

7. Meeting the shadow: the hidden power of the dark side of human nature

8. Nonviolent communication

9. After the ecstasy, the laundry

10. Watchmen

11. Noble heart by Pena chodron

12. Developer hegemony

13. Brothers karamazov
The requirements

I consider the book unreadable, as I don't think the goal of the textual medium should be to disorient the reader. I was pointed out, by people more versed in academic philosophy then I, that Debord actually designed his book like a puzzle, full of hidden references to other texts from other obscure philosophers and that it takes a lot of notes and an almost perfect memory of other books to reassemble what he means.

I trusted that account and once deciphered, the book is just a re-hash of some marxism and some vague criticism of the dynamics of mass-media and consumerism of leisure time.

Realize that his book is about the "society of spectacle" and he dives in, never explaining first what he means by "spectacle" (which mostly means "a show" in French but can be used by analogy to any performative action), letting you guess, and sliding from one meaning to the other all the time.

This book is probably a nice literature puzzle that I can not fully appreciate, but it is as much philosophy as Lady Gaga's meat dress is haute cuisine.
Diversification. Having 75% of your wealth in a single asset is a terrible idea for anyone except the co-founder/CEO of a business, for whom continuing to have a skewed portfolio can be a signal of confidence.

Once you're not longer the person running the show, it makes a lot more sense to diversify, as you probably don't give a damn whether you're signalling confidence or not.
osm2pgsql ran a few hours for the first phase, then I let it run a couple days on the second phase (there are 3 phases IIRC).

I then calculated how long it would take to finish the second phase according to how much it had accomplished in those few days and I calculated that I would have to let my PC on until December 15 (it was back in September or October I think).
Thankfully none of us on this forum are in charge at Boeing. We would certainly do the wrong thing in response to the MCAS debacle. An observation is that the overall environment is relatively healthy but we must never let the MCAS incident be repeated. Identify why MCAS was so poorly coded and how it passed QC and I think you’ve solved the most pressing issue.
I guess that applies to most things involving our bodies and minds. So many things from food to other health related things depend more on what we do consistently (almost) every day, aka as a habit. Eating a couple burgers at once doesn't really do much, just like a single long session at the gym.

Of course there are exceptions, for example if a minor gets heavily drunk just once it dramatically increases the chance of alcoholism later in life as it affects the developing brain a lot more.

One Australian standard drink is 10gm of alcohol.

A (UK) pint (568ml) of beer at 5% ABV will have 2.24 standard drinks.

A 175ml glass of wine at 12.5% ABV will have 1.8 standard drinks.

Important advice is to have at least one day a week with no alcohol at all.

Well, I don't have a million dollars, so I wouldn't be able to pay that fine. It does not make sense to try to implement an unsupportable system.

I did not say a good objective was to avert people from speeding "as much as possible" (or I would simply destroy all cars). I said "as much as possible using reasonable techniques." I am not trying to revolutionize the field of public policy economics, here; I am just arguing against a system that assumes that a dollar means the same thing to me that it does to Steve Jobs; it does not, and some adjustment is appropriate.

what does that have to do with the topic (or this thread)?
Folks might benefit from an explanation of the Casimir effect: Two metal plates separated by a vacuum form an electromagnetic cavity of width W. The cavity allows only wavelengths whose mode goes to zero at the edges of the cavity.

Normally, you feed a cavity resonator with E&M radiation (for example, your microwave), but the Casimir effect is a recognition of a factoid from quantum field theory: Photon fields have an energy of (N + 1/2) \hbar\omega, where N is the number of photons in the mode, and omega is the frequency of the mode. The strange factoid is that even for N=0 (no photons) there is still energy in the mode. This energy goes by the name "zero-point energy", because there is still energy in the vacuum for zero photons.

When you change the width W of the cavity, there is a change in the allowed modes, so there is a change in the total zero-point energy. The Casimir force then makes sense: Since the zero-point energy changes with the distance between the metals, there is a force pushing the system from the higher-energy configuration to a lower-energy configuration.

Edit: Since this has gotten attention, my one-sentence summary of the article from below:

Phonons cause a microscopic change the distance between the two plates, which by the Casimir force, then allows transmission of phonons across the vacuum gap.

I totally agree. When I was a kid, you could recognise car brands by the shape of the hood. These days, Saab's distinctive curve is gone, Volvo's blockiness is gone, all the weird Renaults now look the same.

But it makes sense: all cars try to be as aerodynamic as possible, while creating as much space for the passengers in the smallest size possible. The better designers get at optimising for these requirements, the more cars will look alike.
I believe that wine tastings are primarily for the social value, with the socializing eased by the alcohol. Having a guise of learning about the wine (or whatever) is useful.

And my second belief (again generalizing, how I see it, etc.) is that alcohol-free beers are so that you can fit in when at the bar (where again, socializing is the main value) and choosing not to drink alcohol.
