It could certainly be the case that it's poorly designed, but it's not necessarily the case just because they've hidden the feature from the UX.

First, the backend constraints may be ideal despite whether they've bothered exposing any of them in the UI. Second, not exposing them in the UI may have been an explicit design decision and not just trade-offs. It's possible that a root certificate list was deemed complicated enough without adding a zillion more hard-to-debug toggles that might allow curious users to accidentally break something in a way that would be very confusing, and only allowing programmatic access was deemed to be best because likely the settings would only be used by enterprises managing their fleet or some such.
Sorry, we designed and coded it ourselves
> There might be better ways to introduce pi

To be fair that's the elementary school way of defining pi. I'm somewhat rusty myself, but I'm pretty sure even undergraduate real analysis courses define pi in terms of the complex exponential. "Ratio of circumference to diameter" is insanely hard to make rigorous.

The Problem, with distrusting them all Root CAs and accepting it back into the fold one-by-one, is simply that you don’t know if that trusting Root CA in question has signed off some other but malicious sub-CA(s).

Most people who believe in climate change have never read a single scientific paper regarding it nor know the name of a single climate scientist.

The names they know are Greta thernberg and Al Gore.

Insuring against floods in certain areas is a money loser. But those areas have a lot of valuable voters who can determine elections, so the politicians that cater to them by providing them taxpayer subsidies win the elections, hence taxpayer subsidized flood insurance.

>it feels like if we listened 15 years ago we'd be in less of a snake pit.

We really missed the boat in the 60s/70s when the West largely gave up on Nuclear power (which environmentalists are against). Imagine if the West invested in nuclear power to the same level as France did - think of the trillions of tons of CO2 that would not have been emitted into the atmosphere. Maybe it would have bought us an extra 5 decades.

There is nothing we could have done in the early 2000s that we didn't do (and though your comment is very American-centric, the world is bigger than America). The biggest gains we received were when many regions transitioned from coal to natural gas but natural gas was not an economical option before the fracking revolution (which environmentalists are against).

Even now, we don't really have any options to transition from fossil fuels. The best we can do (outside of nuclear, and if geography allows, hydro/geothermal) is to pair natural gas with solar panels and wind mills - but though solar/wind are OK (just OK) with CO2 emissions, they are very hard on the environment because of land-use requirements, production, and disposal. This doesn't take into account other fossil fuel use, like fuel for cargo ships, rockets, and airplanes, and the thousand of products that need petroleum.

By the way, there's a Green party candidate running in Vermont (or Maine) that is against importing hydro power from Quebec. Insanity.

What tech stack do you feel most productive with?
Hey, I'm Stuart! I'm a full-stack software engineer based out of the UK.

What tech stack do you find help you be more productive? For me, it's Laravel to build a backend/api, and VueJS on the front end. Laravel 8 ships with Jetstream, which is an application scaffolding tool and one of it's options is InertiaJS, which is an awesome tool that lets you build SPAs without an API. Love it!

Bingo, disinformation doesn’t travel as far in other developed countries (ie the nordics for example) because they have better, more accessible education for their citizens. College is free for all and media literacy courses are required.

This is a great idea and just what I wanted!

I have a question about which system is better for a story-driven game for beginners.

Some context: I like RPG, but I have played exactly 4 times in the last 20 years. Last time I played it was D&D and my experience was it was more of a tactical game focused on combats than characters and story. It was about the squared map, knowing all the rules of your weapons and spells and trying to beat the GM in this game. All the rest seemed like cutscenes to the combat mini-games.

I didn’t enjoy this that much, especially since I do not know all the rules, limitations and possibilities of my weapons/spells.

I would prefer to develop a story together. A system where you don’t need a exact map with squares/hexagons to make decisions, for example. Where story and character decisions on what to do matter more than tactical decisions in combats.

Also, despite living story-driven games, I am not much into “acting” (doing voices, emotions and reactions like my character). Not sure if I have too many restrictions to find a good system or group here.

So, which system should I look for that it’s welcoming to beginners and story-driven?
For me, only when used on a single short message sentence. Long explanations and paragraphs get punctuated at usual.

I'll also add I'm not the arbiter of what is and isn't correct or wrong, just explaining my own opinion.
It's a cola, and its flavor overlaps heavily with Diet Coke; indeed, it was Diet Coke before Diet Coke. The flavor profile was tweaked around the saccharin sweetener they had to use when it was introduced.

The flavor difference is on par with the difference between Coke and Pepsi: real and detectable, but all pretty much the same if you're not paying attention. Especially since Tab no longer uses saccharin alone.

The countries going back on lockdown have not been good at enforcing mask use. Masks are not a magic solution but they are an important part of keeping the virus in check along with contract tracing, and enforcement on high risk conditions like indoor large gatherings, or reopening bars and nightclubs too early. If we had better application of these principles the economy would not have to suffer as much and thousands of lives could have been saved.

They don't have a "cancel ballot" button. When you fill out and print the new online ballot it will cancel any previously sent ballots. They site says "Caution: If you continue, a ballot previously mailed to you will be canceled"
This sounds highly anecdotal: I am nearing 40 myself and have a bunch of 40+ colleagues, yet I rarely see them use ellipsis!

Every time a run across an episode of this podcast I am inclined to press play, often when I've never even heard of the guest. Yes his voice is very monotone but I find it calming. He challenges his guests with philosophical questions while most interviewers stick to the subject material. He adds just enough humor to lighten the mood, but not too much to derail the conversation. He takes that extra second before speaking to make sure his response or next question is genuine.

Do you feel that the science itself says climate change is not real?
Ah yea - the old Grover Norquist quote - it's amusing to see that what was once a fringe libertarian ideal has become a central tenant of the GOP.
This just goes back to the linguistic maxim, which (I am paraphrasing here) stipulates that the language is always a compromise between the convenience of the producer and the convenience of the consumer.

The more common context the producer and the consumer share, the less need there is for punctuation, spelling out abbreviations or other niceties.
Of all the things you can say about an HTML file, the one thing you can absolutely not say is that it is a collection of instructions. It is literally a declarative description of components to be rendered.

I find this odd because, to me, attributing malice because of the presence of a period is something you do in your own mind. You don't know the emotional state of the person who sent it, so you think of the worst possible outcome, but both are equally likely in the moment. You're just as free to give them the benefit of the doubt.
If you follow this kind of logic, you can believe anything about anything that isn't explicitly denied or proved. Which is a daft state of affairs to be in, no? Surely it's a one-way trip down the Conspiracy Cave once you start thinking like this?
Periods generally end sentences, and if that sentence convenes a thought, they do conclude the thought. I consider that to be the default mode of conversation, regardless of whether it's chat or mail or whatever. I like it when people take the effort to bring their thoughts to a conclusion rather than flooding me with cheap stream-of-consciousness-style conversation (cheap for them, not for me), and I tend to treat others the same way I want to be treated.

If I want to explicitly leave a thought open for continuation, especially in chat style communication, I place three periods at the end of a sentence. I consider that an invitation to the reader's mind to conclude the sentence. So it's either one period or three of them for me, but none at all just feels wrong.
It's not that it's nefarious, but because human language often relies so much on the tone of voice used, we've begun creating informal norms for how to get that across in text form. A period at the end of a short phrase gives it a flat intonation in many circles. Communication isn't as simple as proscribing by fiat how people ought to use a given medium, and pragmatism requires that we adapt to what the group does for clear communication.
> He was made into a joke for his climate change documentary

He was made into a joke long before that ( lock box ) because he was a joke. And his climate change "documentary" was nonsense. All he did was use his name recognition to peddle a documentary to make himself a shitload of money.

> when now it feels like if we listened 15 years ago we'd be in less of a snake pit.

We did listen. That's the problem.

there are still some major fortune 500 companies who can't even make their website work properly, let alone begin any kind of automation. I don't think we'll see major parts of the economy automated in our lifetime. Maybe small parts of an industry here and there but not most of the economy.

Software is still if statements, while loops, and assignment statements — Sequence, Selection, and Iteration.

That seems an extremely narrow view of modern programming. But then isn't this the same man who made the claim about there not being any new programming languages left to find?
Completely agree. For something that's going to affect the rest of your life it only makes sense to invest the time to become an expert on your issue.
> Be sure to view this through the lens of 2002

Those were definitely interesting times. I'd say that Perl was a little bit more generalist, though, it was not exactly down at the PHP level but was what "serious" websites were using (I say that as a guy who started to learn Python in 2003 because I was too afraid to start and learn Perl).

Back to the post, I wonder if reddit would have still been picked by YC if it hadn't been originally written in Lisp (this I think was late 2004, early 2005?). I'm sure the whole story is written somewhere in a blog-post/dedicated reddit thread but I'm too lazy to check right now.
100% agree with your sentiment. Maybe it's just the case that disruption is needed every decade or two to keep things fresh and interesting.

Anyone who has dipped a toe into modern frontend web development and hasn't stayed for long enough to drink the kool-aid knows that it's a shitshow. You need a toolchain a mile long just to get some basic stuff on the screen, a far cry from the easy learning curve (lol!) of Perl outputting HTML via cgi-bin in your home directory 20 years ago. Okay, sure, you have access to a lot of visually pretty things now, but ultimately a lot of that could have been implemented at the browser level by exposing primitives that were more useful right from the start, rather than downloading a few megs of Javascript to emulate a reasonable environment on top of an unreasonable one.

Remember the 1.44MB QNX magical floppy disk demo? Entire OS and a Javascript-capable web browser in less space than it takes to visit the average corporate homepage now. Something is wrong here. I don't think there has to be a tradeoff where the programming languages become insanely difficult for average developers in order to use less space, either; it's not like modern JS is particularly easy.

https://www.red-lang.org/ is something in the right direction. The language itself looks a little confusing still, but I love the idea of a small binary that can run it and produce decent GUIs out the other end. We need to revisit the basic assumptions and produce something that can still be extremely performant on hardware that is 15 years old, imo, so that our modern machines become extremely powerful again.

There are some people who basically braindump many lines of text with no punctuation but they are not the most common and it's a signal that the person does not respect the room- so they are somewhat scorned even if not directly.

That’s why the initial Republic only allowed landowners to be able to vote. Now, we have lowered ourselves to any reasons (other than to ensure the business, welfare, defense, and property ownership).
I suspect people are talking about periods being negative specifically in IM/text message contexts, like Slack, where "send message" has taken over the role of period and period has morphed into an extra signal for something like "finality."
No, they don't necessarily challenge sustainable practices. They just haven't figured out a way to monetization framework. When they do, they'll push it harder than Roundup. Until then, sustainability is good PR and sustainable practices don't have scale, so no threat to their core business IMO.
In professional cycling they do two blood draws for any competition. The first one they test now for any known substances, practices (transfusions are illegal, without a medical reason). The second one they save to re-test when new drugs come to light. A few notable professionals have had titles stripped for violations that were detected years after the event.

Re-running the games (especially to check for new techniques that aren't public at the time of the event) would be in the same spirit.
There's no such thing as "lisp all the way down" unless you're running a lisp machine. Common Lisp, e.g. SBCL, is written in C. So I'd say Emacs already is almost "Lisp all the way down" in any meaningful interpretation. Elisp is written in C, yes. And there are a few functions written in C for performance. What abstract benefit is worth completely replacing this with some other language that will inevitably be written in C anyway?

In the meantime, people are actually improving elisp, giving us things like the new async options and performance improvements. People like to hate on elisp because of some ugly syntax and some missing stuff that most mainstream programming languages have, but it's uniquely crafted for Emacs stuff and fills that role better than any other language.
