Instant Pot is great for this.
1. 4L of yogurt, press button.
2. Wait to cool to 40C (place whole pot in sink full of cold tap water if you're in a hurry).
3. Stir in 1-2 tbsp yogurt, press second button.
4. 8hrs later/next morning, yogurt is ready. Transfer to whatever container you want.

You can strain it further with one of these dealios, or a homemade contraption: https://www.amazon.ca/Euro-Cuisine-GY50-Greek-Yogurt/dp/B009...
It makes it milder and absurdly thick.

Sometimes I like to leave batches for 60hrs instead of the usual 8. It makes it incredibly acidic, but after straining thoroughly, most of the acidity is gone and you're left with a very strong tasting, goat cheese-like product, ie yogurt cheese. Mixing this with finely grated garlic and salt is sublime. I've given this to many friends and acquaintances, it's always a hit.
A friend of mine wound up unable to pay their TV bill after spinning up a Tor relay - the connection to the site would just time out.

Said friend worked at said TV company and pulled some strings inside to get it investigated. Turns out, by default, a number of IPS systems deny traffic from relays for no good reason. He was unsuccessful in getting the security people to turn that bogus rule off.

But Microsoft was subject to those consent decrees because it had monopoly power in the market, which Apple manifestly does not have.

The iPhone isn't dominant. It's what, 20% of the phone market? When MSFT was subject to those decrees, it effectively controlled all PC hardware. The Mac was on the ropes, and no other challenger was viable. They owned computing; it was their way or the highway.

Apple doesn't have anywhere NEAR that power.
This is pretty hyperbolic. Somebody who was "moderate" in 1995 could be considered left-leaning or right-leaning today, depending on their specific politics, and in fact, without any specific context like "internet free speech", I would think a majority of them would be considered more left-leaning on average today. And even if that isn't true, the alt-right is a pretty specific flavor of hate-motivated shitposters, not just "people who are heavily right-leaning".
That's a strawman.

How many Facebook ads even target people in the opposite party? I have only seen fundraising ads for Democrats. The ads seem to be reinforcing cultural bubbles.

It seems like targeting people committed to the other side wouldn't be a good use of campaign funds? With low voter participation rates, there is a lot more to be gained from increasing turnout for your own side.
Isn't this a key to Apple's success though? One of the differentiators between Android and iOS is Apple's willingness to bring their boot down to enforce a more consistent user experience by any means necessary. If that means playing hardball with developers then so be it.
> Passion is the outcome of ability and achievement not the cause.

I doubt that's the case. For one, there's plenty of people who are excellent at their jobs, but who dislike them. Also, there's plenty of people who are passionate about things that they are terrible at.
same logic as in MSFT+IE. MSFT lost that lawsuit as far as I remember, despite there being alternative desktop OSs based on linux.

Apple+Appstore is actually a repeat of MSFT+IE monopoly and should be broken up as such
I'm doing a PhD right now. There are actually a LOT of external motivators: group meetings motivate you each week, posters and presentations motivate you each year, and publications motivate you the whole time. You also get some motivation from your peers and future career prospects. There's also the thesis proposal and defense.

This all said, I ABSOLUTELY relate to you feeling "flat" or "complacent" or "content". You might feel like you have no inner fire, that you're just a Pavlov dog salivating at the world's treats. Here's three things I've kept in mind for myself:

1) Health is absolutely key (as others have already noted)

2) Keep your head above the water. I'm resorting to a cheesy self-help metaphor, but if you're constantly receiving external motivators, you're going to lose a sense of how you're feeling.

3) If you feel a spark to try something, but then lose that spark, maybe keep going for a bit. Everything has a learning curve, and the first steps are often more boring.

But also I try to remember that productivity is not necessarily a virtue. You can always optimize yourself just a little bit more. Productivity obsession can just as easily be a symptom of my ego or my narcissism. I think this is a big part of self-help stuff. Marie Kondo doesn't just sell cleaning strategies, she sells PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION.

Basically, make a couple changes if necessary, but I don't think you need to panic if you're not obsessed with personal accomplishment. That could be a good thing!
basically most people don't look or understand who they are buying from. They just click buy.

I think this highlights another issue with this: How many people even know that they can do this, something already implemented?

Of the people that use FB, some percent won't even know that they can block ads from anyone, let alone political ones. Taking only the political ads into account, you then bifurcate the population into those that turn them off, and those that don't know to in the first place.

We've been dealing (poorly) with these filter bubbles already, adding in more filtering may not be the solution here.

In my opinion, surgically precise targeting was not the problem with Cambridge Analytica. The problems were:

1. Disregard for privacy, by scraping data from people who had not agreed to their terms. And, honestly, from most of the people who "agreed" to their terms.

2. Doubling down on the idea "a candidate should get votes", instead of "a voter should choose the best candidate." It's the classic problem of a measure (vote count) becoming less useful. This has always been the case in politics, but we should discourage it. Not sell it as a service.

I also remember hearing one of their goals was suppressing turnout among voters who likely supported the opponent, but I'm having trouble finding a good source. Even if Cambridge Analytica didn't focus on this, it's another case of the measure ruining its own intent. Voter suppression by official acts is often illegal, but it's not much better when done through legal messaging.

As powerful as Facebook is in the world of American communication, it can't solve those problems. Reducing political ads can help, but we're far from being able to wipe our hands and think we've accomplished much.
I agree it's a culture problem - we developers can't agree on anything even when someone else already went to the trouble of defining a standard. I also think there is another component which is inherently related to the software engineering profession: technology move fast and some things are indeed worth adopting because they are beneficial in the long run, even if it means reinventing the wheel or having to re-learn something from scratch. But understanding which is which it's not that simple.
Every time I start a new project in the team, we need to learn a new way to deploy, to instrument the code for metrics, a new integration test framework, the new features of the the CI/CD pipeline which replaced the old ones, maybe a new framework or even a new language. This is even before writing any meaningful code. How much of the new stuff is an improvement, rather than just a slightly different flavor of the old stuff?

Correct. It was a bad faith strawman question (I called it diversive above).

Maybe you are trying to engage in good faith, if so, you should know it reads as concern trolling.

This is where theory and practice part ways. If it was a single bug, I’d be happy to file it. I even tried to do so with Jekyll. I located one, found a library, it was already fixed, but not published. Monkey-patched, only to fight next but. And there was not end to it. I didn’t even started looking into pyenv or bazel, which all were also broken in multiple ways.

This seems really, really entitled to me. There already IS a platform you can use that you can fiddle and tweak to your heart's content in Android. Apple's iOS is different, and runs on maybe 1/4 of the phones that Android does.

One feature of the Apple ecosystem is this walled garden effect. By what logic do you seek to compel this non-monopoly to make changes to their business model?

There is a parallel explosion of Chess Streaming in India on YouTube. During the lockdown, a stand-up comedian Samay Raina [1] started streaming Chess with some other famous comedians. None of them are strong players. But the content was so funny that quite a few people started watching.

Later Samay became friends with India No. 2 Chess Super GM Vidit Gujrathi [2] and together they have created quite a bit of following on YouTube.
In one of his videos, Agadmator [3] said that Indians sign-ups on Chess.com have gone through the roof.

However, most of the content is in Hindi. Here are some videos which are in (mostly) English, Vidit's trash talk with anther Indian GM Baskaran Adhiban[4], Vidit Playing Serious Chess Blitz tournament on Chess.com [5]

That's more of a grey area - there are at least a significant chunk of people that are happy for the taxi monopoly and the medallion system to go away.

> it seems society is reverting back to a sort of tribalism

"Reverting" implies it ever left. Is it not possible that our media system, in the past, just enforced uniformity to effectively create one tribe of people who consumed it and excluded everyone else? As the environment gets more diverse, then the existing tribalism, and the conflicts it engenders, just become more evident.

We were measuring the number of similar support requests that came to the team. Our library would allow customers to resolve these problems on their own. We had a good estimate of reduced requests, but not a good estimate increased time to maintain the open source library.
Much like "radicalizing" the OK hand sign as meaning "WP," and the latest lolcow of making hawaiian shirts a sign of terrorist groups: seems like the right wing meme makers keep coming up with these things to alienate normies from activist types, and the left, who above all else in current year America, seems to enjoy thinking they have special knowledge that requires they lecture others about what is morally acceptable, keeps taking the bait. I don't see this pattern ending well.
Right. But all these countries have a popular payment app similar to Venmo that all people use. For example, in Israel where whatsapp is as popular as in Brazil, there's an app called Bit everyone is using, where you can send money using phone numbers. I'm sure India and Brazil have similar apps.

They didn't buy hardware, they bought an ecosystem experience.

And anyway, we don't hold that principle across all devices with code in them.

Most of the time it happens because higher management don't find the lower staffs valuable, and seeing them as merely cost center and resources.

In their mind, it's easier to just lay them off, and rehire when the condition gets better. Input from lower staffs will be seen negative and obfuscating. They are lying to shift the blame to lower staffs and save face, it'll be useful when rehiring process come.

If they honestly said layoff to cut cost because of low budget, the news can spread and future new hires may be concerned with it. But if you said it's because the staffs performance and / or they don't need their specialization now, future new hires won't concerned much with it.

To be fair though, they declined in popularity and mindshare and had a change of ownership a few times before it came to that. The sourceforge that served up malware in 2013 bore little resemblance to the one from the 90s.

I feel like it was more like: their offerings were no longer unique, the original team probably moved on, they couldn't make money, and they turned to desperation.

Where I think Facebook has an edge is also owning Instagram.

I don't know worldwide, but in for example Colombia, it is basically the primary and some cases only store front for a lot of products, small manufacturers and service providers.

Facebooks can control the entire sales cycle from discovery to close.
Which is basically the opposite of a bounty system. Liberapay is no substitute for BountySource; instead, it's competing with services like Patreon.

China’s gay dating app Blued eyes Nasdaq IPO to expand overseas
One way it may have gotten worse is the perception that it’s not there. If I’m hanging out with friends and we all agree, it’s obvious we’re just a small group. When all the top votes posts on reddit or twitter agree with my leanings, it’s much easier to think that random tens of millions of internet users must be more representative. With some of the upvote dynamics, it probably won’t even be representative of their own whole userbase. It’s so easy to forget that if like 51% of users have a view which they comment and upvote, downvoting the rest, then all the top comments might end up agreeing and you’ll never see the views of the 49% unless you scroll a mile down. (Then you get another headline that causes maybe 2% change their minds or not click through and the 51:49 flips to 49:51 and looks like the whole community flipped around and is totally hypocritical.)

Welcome to Soviet States of America. You can feel now exactly how it was back in those days in USSR.
Being the son of a Canadian small-mid business owner, I can say that what's unique about CERB is the "limbo" status of it. The employer doesn't need to formally lay off the employee, nor produce an ROE, etc. They basically just stop paying the employee and then the employee claims lost wages and gets (some) reimbursed by the government. The end result is that if those jobs DO come back (some have already), from an employment standpoint it's like the employee never left.

> Shouldn't they be rewarded for taking that risk?

They are already, every time someone buys an iPhone because of the large supply of apps that exist.

They do. They benefit from Google's crawling and indexing infrastructure which they researched, developed and host on their hardware.

They are one of the biggest contributors to HTML, CSS and JavaScript both in standardisation and implementation.

Also tangentially, in the AMP standard Google does host your website.

They provide Google Chrome which is exactly that.

> If you design your functions in a way that that function will never receive an array, you dont have to test for it. And if some idiot tries one day, it should error very loudly that something is wrong.

That's naïve. Unless you code extra defensively (which is the same type of overhead as excessive testing, and needs itself to be verified by testing), there's very little guarantee that type errors will result in loud failure consistently at the first point that the bad value is passed (because functions that don't do unnecessary work often pass their arguments along without doing a lot of work dependent on the very specific type.)

And, in any case, failing consistently at compile time (or, with a modern code editor, at writing time) with static type checking is better than failing at runtime, even if it is loud and consistent.

Of course things like mypy and TypeScript (especially, in the latter case, because it powers tools that work pretty well when the actual immediate source is plain JS, or JS with JSDoc comments from which type information can be extracted, when consuming libraries with TS typings) mean that some popular dynamic languages have static type checking available with more expressive type systems than a number of popular statically-typed languages.

Disclaimer: Not an app developer, for either mobile platform.

I heard about this change about a month ago on a couple of news platforms. Specifically, I heard that Apple would be requiring apps which have out-of-app purchasing mechanisms to offer the same products via in-app purchasing.

Also, this is a remediation period. Existing apps aren't being taken down (short of repeated version update submissions which don't comply with the new rules), the new updates are simply being held to the new standard.

> In the long run, history clearly teaches that mixed economy work (e.g. a la Keynes)

History teaches no such thing. History teaches that governments messing with the money supply, which is the centerpiece of Keynesian economics, leads to civilizational collapse. The Roman empire being a prime example.

> centralized economies (e.g. a la Communist) don’t

Government messing with the economy by manipulating the money supply is just a different form of central planning, and doesn't work for the same basic reason that Communist central planning in the Soviet Union didn't work.
