"This needs some real data."

I agree and I, admittedly, have none.

I will say, however, that a deeper dive into these efficiencies would also have to take into account the production, distribution and installation costs (embedded pollution, not dollars) of several hundred little devices vs. a single plant that is integrated into each unit during building construction.

Even considering room by room optimization (turning off AC in living room while you sleep, etc.) it's hard to imagine this penciling out vs. operating + embedded costs ...

(and I still suspect that just the operating costs are higher, but your point is well taken ...)
The Lessons of Shell Shock
> IMO the problem is expectations. "Restraining it (a newspaper) to true facts & sound principles only" is not just boring... it's unimportant. It's the narrative that makes it salient.

> Calling out intellectual dishonesty is a road to hypocrisy, usually. It's very common to have someone call it out and practice it simultaneously.

You have a right to your opinion, of course, but frankly I find this revolting. There's a huge difference between recognizing that imperfect intellectual integrity and flawed critics are common, and dismissing the aspiration towards intellectual integrity as boring, unimportant, and hypocritical.

You don't have to deceive people to be interesting and successful. You just don't. And I think plenty of people manage to not live their lives that way.

Imperial by William T. Vollmann

It is an almost stream-of-consciousness dissection of the social, cultural, geographic, and hydrologic history of an area that most would write-off as desert wasteland. It gave me a portal into the complexity of an ordinary place and how it is viewed through the lens of a genius.

The Places In Between - Rory Stewart

An introduction to how radically different and complex societies outside-the-fold of the Western world can be, and how ancient many of their traditions and way of life are. It also reminded me that real adventure necessitates risk.

The Great War for Civilisation - Robert Fisk

Taught me that whatever I know about foreign conflict, I know nothing about foreign conflict.

The Best and the Brightest - David Halberstam

Provides a template for how the US government embarks upon adventures abroad. Taught me how stupid tremendously smart people can be when you get them all together in one room.

The name Zend is a combination of Suraski's and Gutmans' forenames, Zeev and Andi.[citation needed]

Deliberately kept the citation needed, but still it is Israil origin which is enough for persecution.
Where do you see that he merged it? He’s just saying that it should be merged as far as I can tell.
At one point I tried embedding a language server in a running IntelliJ process. It kind of worked, but a few problems led to me getting tired of maintaining it:

- Constant API updates to IntelliJ internals requiring updates to the extension.

- The need to run a full copy of IntelliJ in the background, and breakage in the copy leading to requiring a full restart.

- A lot of concurrency problems I didn't understand because by necessity it required going deep into IntelliJ's codebase.

- I was no longer using Java in my work environment or for personal projects, so I had no need to use IntelliJ.

But despite this, the repo stands as the most-starred one I have. People are still starring it even though I haven't made changes in over a year and a half!

https://github.com/Ruin0x11/intellij-lsp-server

So it sounds like this is a thing people would use, if someone wants to take up the maintenance burden.
Ada is peculiar because the checks for the ranges are done at runtime. This mean you need a small runtime. A lot of languages are inspired by C and C++ and the types are simple in these languages so it could be an explanation.

Haskell has `Numeric.Natural` but I don't think you can define an integer constrained to a range. It probably goes beyond what the type system can do (statically). I think it's possible with Dependent Types (in Idris) but this is rather new.

Meisterschule does not primarily teach you how to make bread. That’s the part before. It also teaches you how to educate new apprentices, how to run a business, etc. Maybe it’s over regulated, but on the other hand, we require solid education for a lot of professions. As long as the bridge doesn’t collapse, why should we expect an engineer to go through that much education? It’s only math and textbooks are freely available. As long as the patient survives, why do we require that doctors pass a certain education? It’s only biology and you can google most of it anyways.

Thank you for the well-informed comment. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm probably incorrect to think that ossification in science has somehow gotten worse. People are people, after-all.
I advocate for something like consumer warning labels on products: you cannot call something Aspirin unless it is truly, chemically Aspirin. Nobody should be able to label their product "News" unless it is strictly Who/What/When/Where; also, opinion and editorial should be required to be labeled clearly as such. Something akin to the Fairness Doctrine (now defunct) might be a place to start.

A thorny issue to discuss, but given the current state of "journalism", I think it's worthwhile.

It's kinda unreasonable to put restrictions on the users in order to achieve that. I mean, your slack team might not even be around by the time such displays are introduced. Why force the users to jump through hoops for such a silly reason? 90% of the time they're just going to resize whatever image they have in the quickest, dirtiest way to meet the system's arbitrary requirements.

That's not even comparable. The reason pharma companies relocate is to have access to tax havens that in the past were available only to oil and finance industries.

Welps, let's look over the evidence. You say:

"Because that disagrees not only with the common sense of seeing what is happening in front of us, but also with all the other evidence I've seen"

This statement suggests you haven't looked at (m)any scientific articles. I've read dozens of scientific articles about long COVID. If you posted a reasonable rebuttal to some of these, it'd be one thing. But simply stating you've never seen any evidence? That's a statement about your own level of knowledge, not about COVID19.

Aside from that, I do look at "that idiot's Twitter feed" from time to time. Your comments mirror the things he posts downplaying COVID19. Perhaps you look at secondary sources based on his Twitter feed? Or the same sources he does? I'm not quite sure.

As an aside, I'd advise everyone to read "that idiot's Twitter feed," much as I advise everyone to read international news source, left-wing news sources, and right-wing ones. You don't need to agree with someone to read what they write.

The viewpoint is based in the reality we live in where we stigmatize abnormality. The correct response isn't to try and normalize abnormality, but to try and remove the stigma surrounding it. Suggesting that it is normal actually creates a stigma for those who are suffering from it from pursuing treatment because they're supposed to feel that way because it's "normal."
The Trauma of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller is probably a good read to throw in here if this is the direction you're looking to explore - especially if you can get an early edition that hasn't been watered down. Some of her perspectives into experiences as a child that are commonly accepted as "normal" but are often experienced by the child as trauma and grow into dysfunction as adults were interesting.
I'm curious what additional context the SCOTUS applied when interpreting the phrase, “integral and indispensable part of the principal activities for which covered workmen are employed.”

My first thought when reading that phrasing is: if we assume that the security checks are NOT integral and indispensable, wouldn't that imply that the employees are free to skip those steps?

Or, from another angle, are there any limits on what activities are defined by employers as "integral and indispensable" or "principal"? E.g., could Amazon define the time spent walking from workspace-table to an equipment rack as outside the scope of paid work?

IANAL; I'm sure these questions have already been analyzed to death. If anyone knows where a layperson-accessible discussion is available I'd be grateful for a link.

Here is a sampling of ways I use Slapdash daily.

* Open files I know exist without touching the browser[0]

* Create new issues without touching the browser

* See what my colleagues are working on[1]

* Launch Mac Apps

* Use custom commands to speed up debugging. We have commands like "Find Customer"

* Use commands to launch recurring Zoom rooms

* Open my VSCode to a specific directory to start coding

* Use spaces to organize work I'm currently working on researching

In practice, everyone uses the computer differently, so when we get people set up on Slapdash, we do something called an "ergonomic fitting". We learn how use the computer and then we match you up with the features that you would benefit from most.

The article you linked says that compilers can prove a lack of overflow in this example, so UB is not necessary to assume here. It also claims that the compiler cannot prove this in more complex examples (but gives no explicit examples). What I'm saying is if the compiler cannot prove a lack of overflow in this way, that should be a warning.

When someone makes a platform as easy to use as Electron that makes tiny executables with zero friction and lets me easily style and debug a live running app I'll switch. Maybe that already exists?

My previous experience with native dev is that every platform requires 1000s of lines of platform specific setup and then special code all over the place and further I need deep familiarity with all the different platforms' APIs

On Electron, if I start on Mac (you can start anywhere), it's

npm init -y
npm install --save-dev electron electron-builder
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder

Then I ssh to a linux box, clone the repo and

npm i
./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder

Then I ssh to a windows box, clone the repo and do exactly the same thing.

I just created all 3 apps. On each platform the file is setting in the 'dist' folder as a .dmg in Mac, an .exe on Windows, an .AppImage on linux

No other installs needed (just node), no installing 57 standard or custom libraries and runtimes. no sudo apt install for dependencies. No setting environment variables telling various compilers where they can find stuff, don't generally even have to run my code on the other platforms even, an app pops out and I'm done. And, if I've written tests they'll generally work similarly, "npm test", zero friction, zero extra things to worry about.

If someone want's to beat Electron those are the features they need to provide.
Do you honestly think that somebody trained in astronomy could mistake a bird for satellite? Have you seen how satellites move? They traverse the sky in a perfectly straight and constant-motion fashion that is utterly unlike any bird.

Even a high-altitude plane such as the U-2 would be fairly difficult to misidentify as a satellite. For obvious reasons, U-2s and SR-71s and such didn't employ lights while operating at altitude; therefore the only way to see them would be via reflected light. It would need to be reasonably long after sunset, or else the sky isn't dark enough to credibly see a satellite -- but not so long after sunset that the plane would be in the earth's shadow. Satellites have a similar window of observability -- but it's much longer, because they're much higher. A high-altitude plane would have a very small window. Moreover, it would need to execute that turn without crossing the terminator: as soon as any reflecting object crosses the terminator, that reveals its altitude.
> These are people accused of stealing money from the tunisian population. For me it falls under oppression of citizens.

Sure, you can redefine everything as it suits you. "Stealing money fron the Tunisian population" is similar to tax fraud. You turn it into a war crime or being dictators.
You are correct. I misremembered, it was just a proposal that was not taken into the spec.
I think for any sufficiently complex human activity, including writing, musicianship, or performance in a sport, there's no way to be objectively good at every aspect of it, and there's no one measure that captures all the different possible ways to excel.
Overall performance is a complicated mix of competencies, some of which are easier to measure objectively than others. Different observers will judge the "goodness" differently based on which sub-tasks they consider more important. Even among the "greats", you can point to sub-areas that they don't do as well.
'Working class' people start plenty of businesses, but maybe not many tech businesses.

Having enough personal savings to afford to work on a project without pay for some time does not directly relate to background unless you have never work before and rely in mum and dad... It relates to your capacity to save, i.e. your previous job, which in turns usually relates to you education level/degree (which also impacts what type of business you are likely to start).

So, again, it boils down to investing in education for all. Meritocracy, not class background.

> A social safety net.

I believe this would be great. But perhaps not, perhaps this was only in the what Ovid calls the Golden Age -- perhaps small communities of hunter-gatherers, perhaps never in the way we imagined.

But I don't see this happening unless we revert to much smaller communities.

I think we could realistically cut world military spending by 90% before we could offer everybody that social safety net.

So we DO need pills, because we cannot realistically offer 1 in X the support they need, the best we can do is offer pills that work long enough that they help themselves or some psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy can be greatly helped in a lot of cases by pills.

If this were just an IP problem it would be easy enough to solve, but I don’t think whatever passes for a district attorney in Tehran would be impressed. And as someone else implied: are you willing to stake a life on your solution?

The last time I had a provenance problem with source code (multinational, could not utilize public domain code for liability reasons), I clean-roomed a solution. It took longer to explain why I wanted this to the intended author than it did for him to write it. But I had a knack for filing bug reports such that the maintainer can fix the problem cheaply (same employer, I could not file PRs against OSS, but I could tell them the bug was on line 53 and what input triggered it)

You’d need someone who has read the PR to write tests and/or a spec and for someone else who has not read it to file an equivalent PR.

The Voice of the Customer: Managing Customer Care in Twitter
I can walk into an apple store, grab something moderately expensive off the shelf, scan the barcode on my phone, pay for it, then stick it in my bag and leave. Presumably Apple has some method for making sure that people who grab items off of the shelf and put it in their bag aren't stealing. I've never once been stopped by an Apple employee when I've paid via the app. I don't understand how it can be that Apple can accept that level of shop-lifting risk but can't use the same method to reach an acceptable level of risk with respect to employees. Especially since I would expect Apple to trust employees more than random customers, not less.
I do this with Traefik [0] internally in almost the same way. I use DNS-01 to get a Let's Encrypt wildcard cert and all my internal A records point to the ingress IP and Traefik happily proxies the communications to the appropriate service - container based and non-container based - which is the real win I was looking to solve for in my home environment. The thing I like about just using Traefik is it doesn't rely on a lot of extraneous tooling (can just use Docker without Swarm/K8s) and will automatically consume orchestration services if I'd like it to. But the reality is the majority of things I want valid certs for are static mappings. One config file update of a few new lines of boilerplate is all it takes to get a valid cert fronting any service. And then to get a dashboard of all my internal services I use Heimdall [1].
