I have a very old netbook running FreeDOS. I have installed nothing but nano on it, and I use it as a distraction-free writing device. I also have a black MacBook running Xubuntu, and it works great. Got a new, non-matching battery for it for about CDN$60, and I get three or four hours of use on a charge. Only issue is the wifi is sometimes flakey on newer routers.

IIRC, the main culprit of the awful incarceration rates were mandatory minimum sentencing / sentencing policies that were introduced in the 80s.

I guess it was a result of the "tough on crime" attitude that came after the 70s, and came just in time for the drug epidemics, and war on drugs.

I assume over time, the diamondback female moth would be able to determine which males produce stale offspring and avoid them. There has to be some science to selective breeding. I am groc’ng now, I swore I watched a show where a beetle evolved to have selective mating distinction. Prior to Netflix and Prime, Discovery was my morning, lunch, and dinner, learned so much.
> ...truly rehabilitative is simply impossible

-While comparing the US to Norway is a bit like comparing apples and oranges, I'd like to point out that our (vee-eery rehabilitation-oriented) correctional system does have one of the lowest recidivism rates world-wide, at approx. 20%. (This is an overall value; I assume there are significant differences between various kinds of crime, but couldn't find any statistics)

Almost from the day your sentencing starts, the prison staff cooperate with social services to ease your return to society - inmates are offered education or vocational training.

As your release draws nearer, security is lowered if you've behaved reasonably well - to the extent that many prisoners serve the last part of their term in halfway houses where they need to observe a curfew, but are allowed to leave in the daytime to apply for jobs, go to work or school; you may also have visits from family or (I believe, vetted!) friends in evenings - all to make the transition as gentle as possible.

There's no such thing as truly rehabilitative for a group - had it been, recidivism would be zero - but for many individuals, I believe a more rehabilitation-oriented correctional system may be just what they need to turn their lives around and become productive members of society.

I believe this approach is strongly beneficial both to the imprisoned individual as well as to society as a whole.
I think the point you just made about the rate of replacement of lithium-ion batteries is very pertinent to solar panels(to the point that many consider solar a scam)

No, that's not a valid comparison. Market cap and GDP are completely different measures.

The US GDP is ~$21 trillion, but that's not its market cap, it's just one year's worth of production. You can't buy the USA for $21 trillion.
Who gives clearance to that kind of experiment?

Oxitec has done the same in the past with mosquitoes, with small to no result. Some say it's even worse now.
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/09/...

Now the same company is toying with moths.

There's no way we can predict the outcome of such genetic engineering. If they achieve their goal and kill all moths, other species may decline.
Or else they will simply make stronger moths, like they did with the mosquitoes: "very likely resulting in a more robust population than the pre-release population due to hybrid vigor."

I believe we should all oppose such practices. Who is Oxitec to decide to run that experiment and potentially ruin the world for everyone of us?
I've been taking cold showers exclusively for 11 years now.

It doesn't get much easier but you'll get addicted to the great feeling after.

It's similar to running or exercise, it sucks to do but you do it anyway because the benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort.

The trick for me was to never use warm shower again and never compromise ... only coldest water available counts. First thing in the morning.

It makes everything easier as once you experience that comfort of warmer water you'll have to fight with it again and again.

That's why I don't believe in James Bond showers and similar stuff.

Only last year I started to take warmer showers if I need to take one late at night and want to get a good sleep fast (I took about 4 so far) ... to build this habit, for me personally, it was paramount to leave no other option.

For the first 7 years I haven't been sick at all. At the same time, I don't think it's a miracle practice for your health. You will get sick if you expose yourself to risks of getting sick often enough - it's simple.

In the early days, I used to procrastinate in the bathroom ... a good trick was to start timing my showers. I would leave a timer set for 5 min and paper to log time, I tried to get in and out beating 5 min time-frame. In less than couple of weeks it became a habit that I enjoy for some 8 years now.

Other than health, energy and willpower, I suspect it has some solid psychological benefits ... you get out in the morning you feel like a superhuman, imagine starting your day in such way and how that compounds over the years.

It's great habit to start.
We're (team of 2) rewriting an old enterprise ERP system made of ~1M of C89 non-portable loc, tens of thousands of handwritten PLSQL loc, thousands of business rules carefully abstracted in sql data, tens of complex screen designed and scripted on a no-name RAD software that was the current fad back in the days, and some companion pieces in VB6 because, you known, 'C89, not anybody can do it'.

That's fun.

The new system is a quiet simple SOA arch with a dull, only-real data db layer, backend in Go with code-generation, frontend in es6 migrating to elm.

That looks the IT guys have when we say 'no really, we don't need IIS or Java', its priceless :)

The interesting part actually lies in handling both product management and sales for the new version while handling the day-to-day coding part.

Sometimes I think I should write a book on those subjects :)
My bigger problem is too short time span of the experiment:

“The intervention period was 30 consecutive days from January 1st-30th 2015. During the following 60 days January 31st-March 31st 2015 participants of all three intervention groups were instructed to shower as preferred.”
Is there any good evidence of vlsi ageing? What chemical or electro chemical reaction would be causative?

> We're going to rue the day we started doing this.

Perhaps.

> As they say 'Nature abhors a vacuum' - Once the diamondback moth numbers have declined significantly, another (probably more invasive) species will rise to take it's place.

Eventually, but evolution is slow. Why would the replacement be “probably” more invasive?

> The planet's ecosystem has had billions of years to balance itself out, who are we to assume we can do it better?

It’s not balanced. From one point of view, humans are a product of evolution and our errors are evolution’s errors, though even without counting humans other predator populations do sometimes wipe out their prey and then starve into their own extinction.

From a different perspective, we can do better because while evolution is limited to the gradient descent local minima of natural selection, we can do extreme long-term planning — which is how we’re even physically capable of having this conversation, let alone perform the genetic modifications that this article is talking about.
Any skill not used for ~100 years will probably be forgotten - it's not like these people had libraries and books.

In cold climates, I wouldn't expect forest fires to happen in any given location more than once per hundred years.

Hence, I can totally believe that once forest fires get below a certain frequency, people lose the skill to contain it.
I bought Onyx Boox, that runs Android 6, and that means I can read pdf, login to Kindle, Play Books, e.t.c.

Oddly, buzzfeed went from clickbait to real journalism, but NYT, went the other direction. Weird days.
During winter I never heat my home above 18C, so I never use any heating. My computer and I are the only sources of heat and it's enough (not to mention the fridge, etc). If it goes below 16 I do some pushups and dress accordingly. If the bed is really cold, I just use a hot-water bag.

I like the cold.

To be honest, I'm also wondering if getting used to the cold might result in some form of slight weight loss, since your body would naturally burn additional calories to maintain a normal body temperature, but it's just a guess.
It's inherent to progress that the average Joe - or even the most outstanding Joe - can't know much of the global knowledge (otherwise, global knowledge would be very little indeed).

I'm sure lots of people have some ideas how one could make a fire in theory (creating sparks or rubbing wood against wood or using a lens in bright sunlight or whatever). Whether a lot of people could actually put that knowledge to practical use is a different issue... but then again, it's not something inherently wrong. Just shows that average Joe doesn't need to start fire without tools, because tools are plenty nowadays. In our society it's more useful for the average Joe to be skilled at reading than at starting fires. That's not a bad thing.
I'm helping build a mathematics tutoring system. Compared to classic math learning, we are trying to mimic the strength of a real tutor. Which is, identifying the lack of math skills and teaching those.

From our experience the biggest issue students have is, they can't solve an issue because they didn't understand a concept they have already "learned" in the past.
It's simple, yet powerful.

WireGuard is nice but needs 2FA support. Until then it can’t be used in various corporate road warrior scenarios.

Also until Cisco, Juniper, etc add WireGuard support and enough devices are deployed with it, IPsec will remain the corporate tool of choice when connecting between different organisations. Within the same org, where you have greater control of the equipment used, WireGuard is a bit more feasible.
Just to give a counter point about Touchbar macbooks being 'good enough' - my experience with recent macbooks has been so bad that I'm just never buying a macbook again. Next laptop will be a thinkpad and it's very possible I'll be selling my current Macbook Pro 13inch on ebay because I'm so pissed off with it.

You can't produce crap products for 5 years and expect people to use that as a reason to rush to upgrade to the latest and greatest.
I don't use Facebook, but I do use Messenger as I have a couple of close family members who refuse to use anything else. I've just logged into Facebook (which has no history as I've purged it[1]), and still there are 5 apps sharing my activity with Facebook. These 5 apps are all on my phone, so I guess Messenger is also sharing back to FB. :(

Robin Hood Paradox: The unavoidable conflict of interest among all politicians
Actually the release of mosquitoes which would steralise was very successfull but there was a huge amount of caution and push back against releasing them into the wild.

There are real debates to be had over these things, and I don't think anyone will have the scope of the impact ever understood.

That said, when its costing farmers/companies 4-5 Billion a year, you can be sure there will be a push to move this along. Right or wrong, money will move mountains.
Dude have you been every been mugged? I almost have been (ran away before they could corner me), and the damage being done is not about the possessions. It is a scary and even traumatic experience when a group of people follows you and tries to surround you at night when you are alone.

It damages your feeling of safety when outside (and I live in a very safe country). It cost me a year to lose my anxiety to go out when darkness sets in, even when just getting groceries. And I sometimes still am paranoid.

For a variety of reasons, some public companies will use a non-standard or non-calendar quarterly reporting system. For example, Walmart's first quarter is February, March, and April; Apple Inc's Q1 is October, November, and December; Microsoft Corporation's Q1 is July, August, and September.

I was curious - what's wrong with Maven that is improved in Go modules?

I personally found Maven much more friendly, since there are no odd interactions with your source-control solution, you get all relevant details in the Maven pom.xml. I also find this idea of relying on semver, especially with Go's insistence on renaming packages for major version changes, to be very unpleasant and brittle, especially for internal packages.

This seems almost more dangerous, so people who took cold showers feel just good engouth to become vector for more infections? that's pretty crazy and i would argue the overall effect is then very very negative.

For starters you can delete your facebook account .
Half the issues you mentioned are due to the ecosystem/community (one liner packages and deep dependency isn't fault of npm but it might be an unintentional result of how easy it was/is to publish and reuse packages) and the other half I don't notice by using yarn/pnpm.

Getting types is optional and only required if you use typescript which you don't have to. It does improve the editor experience for vanilla js but those are put under dev dependency.

There are a lot of things that can be improved though.

Lot of packages put their config inside package.json which is honestly messy. The whole script part is a bit restricting. Better approach would have been to follow how mix (elixir) does it.
Json is limiting as a format, no comments.

Like you mentioned, it inherits the mentality of js ecosystem. It doesn't feel part of node but a separate piece of its own.
