Soviets certainly tried to create these positive feedback loops, although it's arguable how successful they were. The standard example is the Stakhanovite Movement [1], which rewarded workers for more productive output.

I'm also a big fan of doing hot pot at home. It's a nice social thing to do since you can't really rush it.

Besides beef, thinly sliced lamb and pork are also great. I recommend getting a manual frozen meat slicer like https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41Po3rfCn6L.... It pays for itself very quickly since you can just buy any meat, including nicer cuts, at the bulk price - I think mine literally paid for itself in the first session.
Every team has a development environment.

Some also have the luxury of a production environment that is separate from that environment.
We have blocked Trello accounts in our org, mainly because SSO and enforced 2FA was locked behind Trello Enterprise. The department that wanted to use it couldn't get budget approval for that plan, which leaves no alternative but to block it.

(And as I understand it, Trello Enterprise doesn't even get you SSO without paying additionally for Atlassian Access? The website seems to be inconsistent on this point.)

We have teams that would definitely like to use Trello, but $4200/month as the minimum tier was too much.

This is focused on jobs but I’d like to see more conversation on debt, NIMBYism and interest rates. There are a lot of jobs, maybe not easy well paying ones, but lots of jobs that would have you earning $30k or $40k a year without particularly specialized skills. The problem is that those are not nearly enough to cover costs, specifically in housing.

And the reason housing is so insane is that the homeowners cartel has manufactured a supply shortage AND with more or less permanently low interest rates (because due to the massive amount of government debt we have to keep them low) the real estate market prices out people who don’t want to take on insane amounts of debt.
Considering many services only allow one YubiKey or only one TOTP authenticator ... I might actually need a short term solution like this to beat the 2FA on those services. Otherwise what happens if I lose my key on the road?

The 2FA services that allow >1 YubiKey are good, I can have a backup key locked up some place and use them as intended.
What do you make of the Hero of Labour award then? They not only went to particularly productive labourers but also do engineers and scientists (Sakharov is probably best known). Engineering and science is an individual effort, although of course you belong to a greater collective that supported you.
I have seen the same issue with caching in varnish when cashing rules were naive or some proxy stripped relevant headers like Cookie.
And to turn the question on its head: if a team has finite resources and can only get their site matching intended behavior 100% in one browser, obviously the right choice is one with dominant market-share, not sub-10% market-share, if the goal is to maximize number of people who can see the site.

I have not noticed this in GUI applications, which generally have some overhead anyway so the snap overhead is negligible. I have noticed it on simple CLI applications, such as jq, where the snap is often 10x+ worse than native (but, we're talking 10x of microseconds; it enters the tens of milliseconds, which becomes noticeable, but its not horrible).

Snap startup overhead is a known issue. Its definitely a thing.

Therein lies the difference between "This is what I believe." vs "This is what I believe, and anyone who isn't actively fighting for my cause must be evil."

The US had completely open borders for its first hundred years or so. It wasn't until 1875 with the Page Act, which restricted Chinese women, that we stopped having wide open borders. That was followed by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which covered Chinese men.

For white people the borders remained wide open. In the late 19th century some restrictions where added on white people, too, but the borders were still easy to get through. The restrictions were things like a small immigration tax, a requirement that you would be able to take care of yourself, exclusions of people with diseases, and things like that. If you were white and in good health, there was essentially no problem getting in.

In 1917 they added a literacy test, but you could take it in your native language, so it wasn't much of a barrier.

It wasn't until 1924, with the Immigration Act of 1924, that we started seriously limiting immigration beyond the restriction on immigrants from Asia. It limited immigration from a given country based on how many people from that country were in the US in 1890, to "preserve the ideal of US homogeneity". (You would probably not be wrong if you read that as "to keep too many Jews from coming to the US". As things got worse for Jews in many countries in Europe more Jews wanted to leave those countries than did before 1890. Countries that weren't persecuting their Jews did not have such an uptick in emigrants compared to before 1890. Thus, the proportion of Jews in the total set of people wanting to immigrate to the US was going up).
Couldn't you just skip the motor, and have a wire always touching the contact, and use a relay to connect the other end of the wire to ground?
That's the thing, there isn't a link between latency and throughput in a pipe.

TCP is not exactly a pipe. It's sending a message and waiting to receive a confirmation back before sending more. It's control logic to control the flow in a pair of pipes, that's affected by the latency back and forth.

UDP doesn't do that. The Ethernet link doesn't do that. The HDMI link to a TV doesn't do that.
One problem is that the further out the experiences get, the less easy they are to put into words (or even into memories). The other problem is that this can sound like bragging or attention-seeking. Nonetheless, as another commenter pointed out, it might be healthy to normalize some of these experiences (insofar as such a thing is possible). In each case, I'm not the only one who has had the experience.

On DMT, I've had the experience of retracting all of reality into a singularity, where I remained for eternity in infinite bliss, until I ("I") was ready to Big Bang the whole thing out again, which I of course dutifully did. As you can imagine, this is a very condensed version of the story.

I've had experiences of discovering how reality is "actually" a dream, and becoming privy to all of the precise, minute details of how everything is projected from the psyche of the Godhead that we all ultimately are.

I've had the experience of living countless lives, from the perspectives of both victims and their perpetrators, until I've seen very precisely why unerring compassion is the only sensible response to anything, ever, period. Why all evil is illusion, and can only be driven out by light (the primordial love that manifests as all of reality). Why humanity suffers so much: because we project the darkness within us outside of ourselves, so that we can avoid taking responsibility. How we wear these projections as a badge of honor: look, we are the good guys, fighting the bad guys!

I have also had more "conventionally strange" trips (if that makes sense) in which physical laws are broken in arbitrarily strange ways. Think of the old Tibetan Buddhist story of a master who was able to fit a large animal (a yak maybe?) into his shoe, without the Yak getting smaller or his shoe getting bigger. Some of these experiences offered me the chance to use all of my normal tools to confirm them as thoroughly as I would be able in sober reality, until I was thoroughly satisfied that no combination of neurotransmitters or standard physics could suffice as an explanation. I would love to share more details, but I'm not sure I can.

I would not blame someone reading this and concluding that I'm batshit crazy. From my perspective, the crazy part is us being so certain we've got reality figured out in the slightest bit. This belief in a fundamentally lifeless reality is the root of so much suffering (for example, the whole climate crisis), and yet we're doubling down on it. It breaks my heart.

My rational mind has even constructed radically skeptical arguments demonstrating why we should not (see my profile, e.g.). Your mileage may vary, of course.

Edit: wow, a lot in common with gavinray's response.

what I don't like with installing it from distro is to pollute my OS and full my /usr/bin with some user app that should live on my /home. But i agree that the security updates are a real issue.
Dedicated accounts, sandboxing, jails, Docker, and VMs exist.

The old thinking was that software was a user agent, serving the user's needs and interests. Some OSes (Debian comes to mind) explicitly acknowledge this.

Increasingly it's simply a naive and unjustified belief. Applications must be considered as untrusted necessary evils. Allocating them a minimum level of access is prudent.

Flatpak promises this, but fails to deliver.

Package managers offer this by convention, but rely on users (and security researchers) discovering and reporting malicious behaviour. Mitigation is retroactive: fixed behaviours or packages removed from the distro's repository, but the damage is done and existing deployments remain.

The underlying issue is one of packaging, updating, and distributing sandboxed apps.

And in recognising that packaging systems serve users, not developers.

If it's more than two pages I'd use one just because I hate copy-pasting stuff for headers/footers. I know vanilla PHP allows templating but static hosts can't run that. If only HTML allowed for importing fragments.
Instead of saying 100ms, you can also say "the total request time increased by 733% with the introduction of TLS (from 15ms to 110ms), something's probably wrong and we should take a further look at it".

I don't like playing these kind of games but sometimes you have to do it.
> There's nothing stopping anyone from firing an employee just because they previously made a massive contribution to the company's financial success. Why keep the cow if you can get the milk for free?

If someone who can consistently deliver great value to a company is let go, they can go elsewhere and provide their value as a consultant or employee. You seem to think the company has no competition and doesn't need to compete with other businesses in the marketplace. I think you are also overlooking the fact that most interns are hired to see if they will be good to bring on full time. Some of them turn out to not provide substantial value. If an internship is how you are demonstrating your value to an employer, then your contribution is being average across all the interns that don't contribute anything or much of anything.
SSR would be more accurate definition than static.
That's Marxism's initial redistributive aspect, not the core principle.

But everyone sees the same edited version when not logged in, which is the vast majority of users, so you can just throw a huge cache in front, which is what they do. And most edits only touch one page, so the churn is tiny relative to the cache size.

This is a much easier service to reliably engineer than something like Twitter. For SRE purposes, Wikipedia is mostly static.
Its funny, some German Automakers are still using the 'Tesla bought Grohmann' as an excuse for slow EV roll out like 2-3 years after the sale.

This is great for Tesla, 210 people with experience in building battery lines is exactly what Tesla needs in Germany.

End all contract with the other manufacturer, focus on your own vertical integration, basic Tesla playbook.

I can imagine an alternate universe in which the hegemony favors Firefox.

The key idea is: the system favors hegemony for someone. The incentives are

1. Most web developers are trying to maximize number of people who can see their site

2. Some browser (barring lock-ins) will have the plurality of users

3. Developers seeking to minimize costs will target the browser with the most users

4. The browser most developers target will be the one most likely to be able to access the most sites

3 and 4 create a positive feedback loop; outside of other forces, we'd assume a browser with any small margin advantage to asymptotically approach full market control over time.

I don't think you read my comment. I didn't say it was sustainable from an economic perspective, but an ecological perspective. All of the reasons you said are precisely why pre-industrial farmers had to integrate with natural processes as much as possible, eeking out all potential benefits.

> Good work is still highly valued, it's just that

What about the people who don't or can't do good work, though?

Your comment is all about better compensation for what amount to elite software developers. And elite software developers are already well compensated. Maybe not as well as they should be by your calculus, but still "well" in comparison to the people the grandparent comment was talking about.
The way they designed everything, this doesn't matter. its still static, in that the content is not generated at access time, at least for logged out users.

If the actual servers go down all that means is that wikipedia is read only and the caching reverse proxies that also receive a push update during modifications would just serve the last version of pages. (except anybody with login cookies, valid or not, would get 500 responses)

I think this is a great example of the existential dread I feel when thinking about modern cloud “solutions” — at what point are there too many moving parts?

No, the whole point is "not much as changed". The narrative that one could pay their way through all of college is one that likely never really existed for a broad enough population outside of a brief unreproducible period after WW2 where the entire world was in ruins and the US was the sole supplier of all goods & services globally.

+1 agree this is a massively important distinction in a fiat currency world. Money was property when it was Gold (+gold backed). Now it's more social than that.

Did you check if lineageos available for those devices?
Back around 2010 I had this happen to me, It was so bizarre. Someone told me it was do to a sinus infection but I never had to go on antibiotics for one and no pain. I was sick that year with other things not related to the nose and it took a long time to get my sense of smell back. It never fully recovered to what it was. One thing I remember is it was like a filter and some things smelled awful and some things like nothing at all. Onions smelled like ammonia is what I remember most. I had lots of test done and never found out why. It wasn't a pleasant experience and freaked me out a little.
As a root cause: government is hard and good government requires selfless service from highly capable people of virtue who have been inculcated with the appropriate values. Those out for their own self-aggrandizement are common, and better paid. Strongmen are easy to find, and even in democracies can enjoy great success in telling people what they want to hear.

Good government is the anomaly.
