> You can use this reasoning to dismiss [...] probably 95% of all scientific results from economic/medical/social/nutricion/climate science.

Most researchers are incentived to churn out as many papers as possible. Most people who are making research grant decisions have little incentive to give grants to substantial science over insubstantial science that merely looks good. After all they're unlikely to face career consequences for funding science which doesn't replicate. Many of the people involved in the production of science are disincentivezed to point out problems with the process of science because science funding depends on science being highly esteemed, which only indirectly and with significant time lag depends on the effectiveness of science.

All this leads me to the conclusion that, yes, it is entirely possible that 95% of science in those fields (and maybe others) is junk.
Unless you know the true ratio, you can't claim that open source projects are better either. Or that one has advantages over the other when it comes to cryptographic security.

Can Quantum Physics Explain Consciousness? One Scientist Thinks It Might
You seem like a smart person who writes well, and I’ve met a few such people with an interest in permaculture. What do you think about the claims that it’s pseudoscientific, and prescribes agricultural methods that couldn’t possibly feed the current global population? I’m not advancing these claims myself – I know very little about permaculture – but I have done a few searches to try to learn more and I’m really put off by the lack of a clear definition and the conspiratorial, anti-science views that many proponents of the concept (philosophy? theory? movement?) seem to express. I’m also thoroughly confused by the relationship between permaculture and agroecology, which seems like another word for the same thing to me.

I found an article in a permaculture publication [1] which acknowledges unscientific thinking as a major problem for permaculture, while defending the concept as something to be promoted and advanced in a scientific way. I’d be interested in reading more work like this, or preferably, something published in a mainstream science journal which permaculture advocates like you accept as fair comment. The author of the article I’ve mentioned seems to dismiss my preference for those sources as “fetishizing the outputs of big-money science” – do you agree with that?

I think if teachers were paid more they would feel a stronger sense of public duty. I don't think being paid less makes people feel more duty to their work.
I just asked for some pro-permaculture sources in this comment [1], and would appreciate it if you could also point me in the direction of some further reading on the claim that permaculture is a pipe dream.

That is a hard question, yes. There is no universal metric that would tell you that.

> the tap water is terrible compared to what I get from my own tap at home.

I suspect this is just because it's not what you're used to rather than an actual quality judgment. I feel this about my home city when I travel elsewhere, and I complained about my current home city when I first moved here from a different country. For instance, I've felt the same about the water in many German cities whether I visited from Switzerland or the US.

> While the US has a fast growing craft brewery scene, the german one has about 800 years head start in experience and market depth.

I agree that this difference probably exists, but no one's starting from scratch these days and there's no reason to indicate it would continue at the same pace as Germany in the 1200s anyway, so I would presume it's far from a 800-year headstart (if there's any at all). In many cases, there may be no advantage besides the cultural recognition of certain concepts that have been more pervasive in Germany for a long time. Have you actually tried a decent variety of North American craft beers?

Rico's Cheatsheets: TL;DR for developer documentation
I do it like this, can provide scripts if you're interested.

One docker image with openvpn:

1. at startup erases all routes except to VPN gateway and 8.8.8.8.

2. before and after connect it only has routes through VPN (no default ones - if vpn goes down, network goes down until re-established)

Start it like:

# ... --name vpn ...

Another docker image with what I want VPNed gets started with the network of the first

# ... --net container:vpn ...

I keep a browser within the second docker image (firefox) and use my main machine to show it. Note: you want to pass '--no-remote' to it and likely split /dev/shm

It can't really leak since it doesn't have routes to do anything other then through VPN.

> Does anyone have any criticisms of ULIDs?

Only that they aren’t more widely adopted or supported.

I use UUIDs in things like OBSERVER support[0]. They just need to be unique within the context of the runtime, so there’s no need for anything more.

However, for things like Bluetooth Attributes, I think ULIDs would be a good thing. That ship has probably sailed, though.

Parental review sounds like the perfect way to judge teachers. Parents are the most invested and least affected by nepotism within the institution. They're also way more likely to be concerned about the outcome for the kids.

In general though parents should be the ones making decisions about their children. Teachers being judged by arbitrary beurocrats i.e. what we have now sounds obviously worse to me.

The whole political argument seems weak to me. I think most parents probably care about academics more than that to begin with, but if political homogeneity is important to a particular parent, why shouldn't that influence their vote?

Ideally you'd let the kids choose, but their brains are unformed and probably bad on average at long term planning. So I will say parents choice - they are the people most likely to be making good decisions on the child's behalf.

Also - if it is impossible to detect bad teachers, then it is impossible to hire good teachers and therefore they are hiring at random. And parental choice can't be worse than random or that would be a signal we could use to pick the best teachers.
I second this. I've just spent the summer putting together an online experiment for a student along similar lines:

I'm not qualified to evaluate this particular course. But any time there is a corporate sponsor of a course, it provides strong incentives to the professor to not harm that sponsor at a minimum. If there's a methodology that the professor would like to teach, but that sidesteps, or calls into question, the sponsor's main offering, then that content is in jeopardy. The corruption will always take root given enough time, so that's why editorial and advertising, or academic content and corporate sponsors, etc. should always be at arm's length. Snowflake should give money to CMU to fund "database-related research and teaching" and the university should decide what to do with it. There's still a possibility of improper influence, but it's harder to achieve. This is particularly bad because it's CMU and not University of Phoenix... CMU is in the highest echelon of computer science universities, so it's sad to see it so debased.

> If you're traveling at 10 m/s as you go out of the gravity well you go faster and faster because time speeds up, but your velocity per unit time stays the same.

You seem to be confusing coordinate time with proper time. The time you experience as you get out of a gravity well is proper time, which, as a sibiling comment said, is something you obtain when you do the path integral of the path you travel. This time is not exactly affected by dilation. Anything traveling with you will not have its time go faster or slower. Anything that is not traveling with you, say stationary on Earth, will indeed have its passage of time shifted with respect to you.

Coordinate time is the time observed by an observer at the center of the gravity well, looking at you (not always, but generally so for most calculations. Also, observer = origin of frame of reference) and that is what is morphed and bent around. Since you're an observer as well, you also see other points experience time differently, since from your point of view, they're moving away from you.
I agree if you meant it had a great headline ... I read the whole article but don't really think I learned what that bad decision was.

Well, I don't spend my holidays on the train. Like I say I visit places on my way to my destination, which is usually the Greek island of Corfu in the Ionian Sea. So for example, the summer before the Covid winter I spent a couple of days at Bruges, then Lille and finally Bologna, before taking the ferry from Ancona to Greece.

On the other hand, I've also travelled by bus (no good trains) to go to a conference in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and I'd have also travelled my usual way to conferences in Athens and Rhodes this year, that got cancelled because of Covid. Like I say above, you can do this kind of thing at a leisurly pace, or you can do it fast.

But I think the real problem is that travelling like that limits your range. I was offered an exchange position in China but travelling there by land would have taken me a week or so, so I declined.

But I can accept that my options are curtailed this way. Air travel has spoiled us in that we take it for granted that we can travel to the other end of the world in a few hours any time we like (if we can afford it), but this luxury has cost us greatly in terms of environmental damage. So, personally, I don't accept that going at a sporting event or leisure activity trumps the need to reduce emissions from air travel.

So, to rephrase my original comment, above, taking a holiday doesn't mean you have to go around the world for it. You can holiday closer to home. So I won't get to see the Fiji islands? I can live with that. We're not going to get out of the mess we've done and still enjoy our way of life, one way or another (the "other" being that eventually climate change will make our current way of life unfeasible anyway; for example, Fiji will sink under the sea).
Not sure why you're getting the downvotes. If I pay for a 25kg bag instead of 20kg, and I don't use the extra, I definitely do not get a refund.
I’d take it a step further and say that the car is contraceptive. Kids are much less stressful in a pedestrian-friendly setting. I can walk to downtown from my home, so we make trips there frequently (on foot) that we just wouldn’t make if we had to pile everyone into a car. I wish the US hadn’t designed its entire identity around the automobile.
> sometimes they'll hang up very quickly,

That's what I was thinking; here all these services let you wait for 20-40minutes and then they hang up if you don't IMMEDIATELY answer when they say; 'hello sir???????'.

I guesss we'll see if that message works or not... I guess it'll take a lot of tweaking per country and even regions of the country. Where I live they typically don't wait even if you don't speak the accent; they act like they cannot hear you and hang up.
> Not that it makes a huge difference, but I'd wager that, outside the USA, that's almost unheard of in the developed world .

The fact that it doesn't mention consumerism is precisely my point. The article argues for a number of things which supposedly are necessary for basic modern "quality of life", but are actually just necessary for consumerism.

Plastic is a great example. Absolutely necessary in some medical or high-tech contexts, but absolutely unnecessary for most packaging and consumer goods.

There is just one - ATmega4809-PF - which is available in a pin-through-hole 40-pin DIP package.

But I don't really see why to use that, there are loads of breakout boards for the others in the similar series, attiny3217 is good.
It's packaged in most distributions, so maybe just use those packages? Also, there are binaries on the Github release page: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/releases , just download and put them into $PATH manually?

Given all that, I find it perfectly acceptable to offer a curly install script as an additional option for users who don't think those scripts are as problematic as people often claim on hackernews or reddit (I personally am perfectly ok with them -- I have to trust the author of a piece of software anyway, so why not also trust the installer that comes from the same source/host?).
