One thing that makes it much harder to question your mental model: Not having one.

Confusion is bad.

I think some developers shy away from learning to build robust or accessible sites because getting something to work at all makes them feel like they are fighting against Venetian blinds[1]. By "some developers", I mean me. One key to overcoming this is the self-confidence that when someone says you are "overthinking things", "trying to understand the universe", or "just experiencing impostor syndrome" you can (silently, in a message you never send) tell them to pound sand.

If sitting down with a book[2] or other guide to frontend development helps you see a picture of how things work, be willing to give yourself that.

If writing automated tests helps you to see how things work, be willing to give yourself that.

I started buying clothing from the brand itself (eg shoes directly from adidas, etc). Some appliances also direct. I sometimes buy food from Walmart but only if they are the retailer (they don't seem to commingle inventories). I bought some ssd directly from Samsung site. Another problem with amazon is the sheer quantity of not-counterfeit but cheap unknown knockoffs. It seems more like an expensive AliExpress.

I feel like a lot of people commenting here don't understand that in order to get a high rank title in China, he had to go and study in the West, against his will.

So naturally, he resisted and resented this fate, not unlike many of my friends resented having to finish University and pass classes they had no interest in.

The points he makes, I did not find to be insightful or interesting. They're down to earth, simple, human observations, not unlike the stories I hear from someone who goes on vacation. At least this guy didn't spend most of his time talking about food :)

The issue is that many people do not realize the range to which they can acclimatize. And the acclimatization has varying degrees of value depending on the temperature differential to outdoors.

Eg: in Canada one can keep their home a few degrees cooler in the winter to save quite a bit of money. Same idea in hotter climates -- keeping it 75 instead of 70 is something one can acclimatize to, but has more value when the out door temperature is 100f vs 80f.

Overall I think it's just momentum. When I had a nest I used the dynamic range that said only cool if my place is over 78 and only heat if it's 68. Everything else, just roll with the ambient.
I spent a couple summers working at a printer in Massachusetts around 2005-2006 and the first year the shop did not have air conditioning. The paper came off a large roll at the back of the press which was pulled through from the front. Part of the process involved sending it through an oven presumably to set the ink, then it would go over a chilled roller to cool it off again. On particularly hot and humid days it would be difficult to restart the press after stopping it as the condensation on the chilled rollers would saturate the paper and it would immediately rip (referred to as a "tear out") and would then have to be manually spliced back together with tape. One night we spent something like 10 hours trying to get the press started up again after stopping it to change the plates.

Anyway, that's just my story about humidity and printing. The second summer I worked there they had installed air conditioning and those problems went away. I'm sure they did it for business reasons and not because they thought it was cruel to force people to regularly work in 100+ fahrenheit temperatures.

So does elpher. But you don't need a dedicated client to see the raw server response, all you need to really do is use something like 'gnutls-cli hostname -p 1965 --no-ca-verification' and then enter the full gemini URL once you have a connection.
There isn’t anything irregular about it, pronouns are just different from nouns. His, hers, yours, ours, theirs, its.
But what is the point of cooling your apartment to 65 Fahrenheit, when there's 90 degrees outside? In summer you would still wear shorts and t-shirt when inside, not sweatpants and hoodie, right? Setting AC to 75 degrees instead would be much more reasonable.
Just to return to this - a lot of fields folks on this site deal with do have explicitly correct outcomes, it may be hard to find the right answer but once you have a possible answer it is much cheaper to prove it is the right answer.

Societal and philosophical questions don't work like that, ethics are driven by society and the view of society changes over time with actions like, as an example, eating beef on Fridays being incredibly taboo among christian societies a few hundred years ago (and to this day in some areas) to the point where taking an action like that in public would likely call into question your ability to act ethically.

Ethics is a highly subjective field - if you try and revive geocentric solar system models with a paper that essentially amounts to "I said so" you'll be dismissed since there are theories with more evidence out there. The process of allegorization though is a more subjective and iterative process where two people can honestly state very different theories and have wide support from large groups - including potentially having mutual supporters.

The allegory that comes from Sci-fi isn't a statement of fact, it's an opinion on danger and while objective evidence is always preferred it doesn't mean that subjective evidence is meaningless. The process of going back and forth forever is quite valuable, if it isn't being done with "No, you're stupids" then each participant will be further developing their theory to account for weaknesses or vagaries exposed by the other participant and that process produces a better understanding in both parties and more refined theories to be presented to spectators.

The question of whether it's morally correct to commit murder is still open - there are some really compelling arguments in favor of not murdering people and some of those even arise purely out of self-interest[1] but if I say "Bob murdered Jim" there are all sorts of qualifiers and conditions that can take that from being pretty ethically repugnant (say infanticide) to being generally seen as justified (maybe, ongoing debate yo) at least in the US (say a genuinely necessary and unavoidable act of self-defense).

The problems fantasy is really good at digging into are ethical ones and, physics based fantasy books are super boring. If your sci-fi book was about how the earth would be different if G was actually 1.367×10−10 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2 you would essentially have a book about how some mechanics of movement are affects and why planes are so expensive to fly - you could build an interesting plot, but the allegorical value would be essentially nil... well that's what I think, lesse is some sci-fi writer comes along and writes a super impactful and interesting novel about an earth that is essentially the same as ours but with slightly less than two times as much gravity.

NPR is a non-profit that is mostly funded by donations. They only have minimal paid ads on their website to pay for running costs - they could easily optimize the news pages to increase ad revenue but they don't because it would get in the way of their goals.

I'm exploring no-code solutions for some small business tasks. In my experience, if I can find a non-enterprise company to fill my needs, I will be way better off. My past experience with Amazon tools is that they happily stand in the enterprise solutions space, with an unfortunate amount of the baggage that brings along.

The rationalist/secularist/etc. community was around back then, and that didn't really happen. I agree that a limited incumbent effect does apply, but it seems quite clear that liberal norms and principles really do get more respect on the (non-extreme) right than they do on the left.
Yeah. There is even an implied bias in my comment above. As a white person, I can move to any part of Florida and not feel harassed. Not so for my friend and a bunch of others.
This (the reports this article is answering to) is really a good example for the state of information and information spread on the Web. It does not just start with "fake news" and manipulative messages, it' really about this kind of reporting, which is setting the standards – and it's mostly down-hill beyond those outlets. (This isn't specific to any domain or topic. Journalistic standards are mostly down to where they have been in the 1920s, with most of the lessons learned forgotten.)
> Funnily enough, if their name was Bobs then the possessive would be Bobs’

Actually, no; s’ is for possessives of plural nouns ending in s (well, an s or z sound, which might be an s, x, or z, but usually for a plural will be an s, and most plurals ending with s won't have it silent, but...); plural nouns not ending in s or singular nouns, including those ending in s, get ’s.

Except for the special rules for classical and Biblical names, where then the number of syllables in the base name (which then makes the s or z sound rule more interesting, because names ending with silent s, x, or z are a thing) becomes relevant because English.

A fan blowing the cool air up (or a ceiling fan running “backwards”) is the solution to that problem and a lot cheaper than running extra ductwork and controls to divert air inside the walls.
I focused a bit on the history of computing when i was getting my CS degree and one of the things I've found super interesting is that for at least forty years (perhaps longer!) we've been at least academically interested in writing code "without writing code". It never really works, however for a technical person it can be a great way to do, like, a sketch.

> Normally in English, 's indicates a possessive.

It seems that the opposite is true. ' indicates a contraction first, and possibly a possessive iff no such contraction exists.
I guess I was always under the impression that vertical and urban farming would be done for "specialty" crops like herbs or kale or something, never for high volume cash crops like potatoes or corn. I can see a benefit for these "specialty" crops because they aren't done to the same scale (maybe I'm wrong about that)
> He was always stunned at how cold most customers wanted their homes in the summer. "theyre like chubby little eskimos in front of the TV" he used to chuckle, and most would ardently refuse energy saving ideas like acclimating to 75 degrees in the home

Or maybe they like cooler temperatures. Kind of like how sometimes you see someone outside wearing a tshirt + shorts when the weather's only 50-60f. It's only absurd if they've set the temperature low AND they're shivering or wearing a jacket/sweater/blanket.
This was also my first thought.

It's surprising because JamF is recommended as the de facto (only serious) solution for people serious managing fleets.
The north east US is the largest heating oil market in the world, we consume 85% of the heating oil in the US. Most of these oil boilers will be 80% efficient at best. It does get quite cold here in the winter!

The answer is building codes that require energy efficient construction techniques, and 0% loans for retrofitting existing houses with better insulation, windows and heating (actually much of this exists via HEAT loans). Tax breaks would help here ...

Previously, the only real choices were some sort of fossil fuels with natural gas being the most efficient and cheapest (although it's only available in urban and most suburban areas).

These days, a heat pump is more than capable of both heating and cooling even in the depths of a New England winter (although you still need a heat source for hot water). However, you need the right sized ducting for this which can make it cost-prohibitive for a retrofit (but there's no reason why any _new_ house should NOT have a heat-pump).

This is why containers are a _big deal_. They are bundling the "environment" with the "code"

We don't fully get back to component reuse, but it makes the sharing of services much more feasible, and more portable as well.

Maybe it also serves as a ramp up to learning programming, but along that ramp you can deliver economic value to your audience, rather than completing CS theory exercises. That's often one of the selling points of this kind of product.
One could argue that authenticating via 1Password is already multi factor in itself e.g. Master Password is Something You Know as the first factor and access to a 1Password Vault is Something You Have as a second factor (since you cannot login to 1Password with just username and password, but also requires a Secret Key that can only be acquired from a device that already logged in).

In this case TOTP acts more like an insecure one-time session key.
Genitive -s works in other languages (eg German) without apostrophe and without confusion.
OP is referring to how you already can sign in to Okta as a website, not as an authentication mechanism. You can create a sign in flow that goes like so:

username -> password -> [ WebAuthn | Okta Verify Push ]

This approach can be used on any website, just with a regular TOTP code in place of the proprietary Okta Verify Push.
It's weird that Amazon releases this low-code tool and yet they can't offer basic managed CMS/Wordpress to millions of businesses out there. Their pricing could start at 20 USD per month and they could conquer the premium (wordpress) hosting market dominated by WP Engine, Kinsta, Media Temple, etc.

I was referring to the type of suspect data I saw on the subreddit. Given the top-level names in the repacked torrent from that subreddit, I'm not convinced there is much victim data in here. It seems to be focused on fusion with federal agencies, which would tend away from everyday police reports. But once again we're arguing over hearsay, instead of directly referencing the primary material. What is your source for there being much victim data, apart from innuendos by journalists who also haven't had much time to comb through?

Also at this point, the data being out there is a done deal. So shutting down links and discussion is mainly shutting down analysis in discussion in more open spheres, rather than actually preventing bad actors.

My point about not having the tools is specifically about the subreddit discussion. If that grows, only to be chopped down later, it will be a net loss. Is there a better forum in which public analysis is happening, on IPFS or the like?
The approach is very different from Dragnet. AutoExtract uses neural networks. CSS and HTML can only get you so far; we actually process screenshots as pixels (like humans do), it is not just shallow features like in Dragnet.

Speed of the AutoExtract ML part is not a concern (many pages per second on GPU) - the bottleneck is in the browser rendering.
This is one of the reasons I don't buy a lot of stuff from amazon anymore. I don't have a printer to make return labels and easy returns are cold comfort. At the end of the day I just prefer to go in person to a store or order from a big box store. As long as you stay away from their weird 3rd party sellers, I feel pretty sure I'm getting real cereal or whatever.
Nice to also read this sentiment, I just go all in on client-side code (react-redux, redux-forms, css-in-js, next.js) and once it's set up and working you can really iterate quickly and it all scales.

I find myself annoyed by how trendy it is to crap on all of the progress that has been made on the client-side stack... basically it seems like a lot of the lessons we have learned over the years are being forgotten. "Embrace the C in CSS!" Like, no! That C is what lead to the most painful CSS refactor and cost 6 months of my life. "Seperation of concerns!" It sounds good to say HTML and CSS should be separate, but we found how powerful it is to co-locate a component's styling with the component. People underestimate how much styling is just inline styles. "Wait, what do I name this class that is just applying margin-top?" If you have a global bin of css utilities and theme variables, everything else is just inline on the component.
Web scrapping, a legal grey area
Correct, especially when you add Power Automate and Power Apps - MS have been quietly pulling ahead in this space.

They also have one huge advantage that no-one else besides maybe Google have - integration with Office 365: your corporate directory, email, filestore...
Which means they don't even need to be the best at this kind of product. Good enough, plus the integration, is a game changer.
>The deeper reform that needs to happen here is that every person falsely arrested and/or prosecuted needs to be automatically compensated for their time wasted and other harm suffered.

I agree here, but doing that may lead to the prosecutors trying extra hard to find something to charge a person with after they are arrested, even if it was something trivial that would often go un-prosecuted.

Getting the details right seems tough, but doable.

This feels like something you can usually only get away with if you’re the mythical 10x rockstar developer. The employer has lots of options. You are merely one of them. They already rule out tons of applicants on arbitrary criteria. The power imbalance is why wasting the applicant’s time is perfectly fine, but if you want the interviewing party to show you proprietary code or give you employee contacts, that means you’re making additional work for them, and you’re not 100% on board with this place yet, so why are they wasting time on someone who seems skeptical (maybe not a “team player”) and might not even accept their offer?

Someone well-known in the IT field wrote about software reuse in the large vs. in the small about 10-15 years ago. The gist was that reuse in the small is a success, i.e. it's fairly simple to write a function that developers reuse within an application. When you try to generalize use beyond a certain context it becomes significantly more complicated to be successful. I think the motivation for the post was issues in object reuse in OO development. I'm trying to find the original post.

John D. Cook's post shines the light once again on the difficulty of writing reusable components.
