Nyxt does not assume POSIX, in fact it is completely independent of any POSIX-ness.

It has been reported to run on Windows via WSL and also without it, but it needs much more work because WebKitGTK is not trivial to get to run on Windows.

Buying a home for me as well. I bought mine in December '19 before COVID hit. Before that I had been living in a small apartment with thin walls, which meant I could hear my upstairs neighbor all hours of the day.

Going from a 1-bedroom apartment to a house has been huge during the pandemic. I actually have different rooms I can use to help break up the monotony. I think I would've gone crazy having to work from home in my old place since it was so small.

> If a cop asks if you want to buy some drugs and you say yes then the cop can be punished, not you, no matter if you might be suspected of wanting to buy drugs.

In this engineer's case, this is more like the engineer being a well-known drug dealer and the cop asking if the engineer can sell the cop drugs, then the engineer (willingly!) giving the cop some drugs and the cop then arresting the engineer. You have it backwards here.
The technical side of the solution is those, yes, but it's equally important that procuring administrators start requiring that level of auditability. That's the social solution.

And just making the good technology is no guaranteed that society will raise its standards accordingly. Look no further than the sorry state of programming languages historically if you want proof of that...
> Locks are for honest people.

That's a great slogan. But-- your (cyber)security stance obviously affects your risk. There are things you can do with business model, stance, and organizational controls that absolutely affect your exposure to both cybercrime and real-world crime. Your home state can absolutely provide help in your strategy against (cyber)crime, but surely we also should probably avoid getting blackout drunk and flashing large sums of cash around dense urban cores, too.
Family game night on Jitsi video conference.

Went from seeing my parents and siblings in person once a year to seeing them virtually every week. I'm much more involved in their joys and struggles. It's a healthy dose of laughter and silliness every week.

From Fight Club:

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
Among others, he did so himself.

He didn't make the comparison, but his figures would put his entire touring history at ~2000 token transfers worth of emissions.

Leaving aside, you know, the cost of performing -- this involves creating and transferring a lot more than 2000 'tokens' which grant people access to those performances. Thankfully venues just handle those with a database.

I'm not sure if it's the absolute biggest contributor, but learning to unicycle during this period has helped me a ton. I love learning new physical skills like dancing or figure skating, so picking up the unicycle has been great in many ways. It forces me outside, it gives me something to keep working on and improving, and it even has some social aspects since being outside and unicycling means people will often comment on it (from a distance, of course).
Yes, but... those jobs are even harder to get into than investment banking :-)
Reminds me of Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal. spoiler warning

The MC is a conman, given new life and a job resuscitating the postal service after a corporation has taken over and gutted the Clacks (in-world version of the Telegraph). The MC meets the financial architect who masterminded the takeover of the Clacks and is struck with immediate recognition: this guy is just like him, only infinitely better at it. He plays three card Monty with entire companies, and the trail of destruction he leaves in his wake is massive.

Interestingly, I found the dishwasher produced more stress than handwashing. Living alone, it takes days to fill up the dishwasher to a level where running it isn't wasteful. Every day, I'd eye how full it was and judge whether it was "worth it" to run it that day. Meanwhile, any time I cooked invariably the pot or pan I needed was sitting dirty in the dishwasher. With hand washing, I just spend 15 minutes usually every other day and

During the summer I live off-grid in a small travel trailer. Every night I fired up the water heater, did that day's dishes, and took a shower outdoors. A bit of drudgery, but actually relaxing and not at all stressful.

Considering AWS dirt cheap is like considering a tesla to be dirt cheap. You're talking big money, I'm saying most people can't do that because they don't have that kind of money.

A simple colocated server nowadays can do almost a petabyte a month for less than $1000. Lookup how much that is on AWS.

But the argument that it does deter is also weakened. It's unfalsifiable if the response to "we removed the death penalty and crime did not increase" is "maybe crime would have started falling, and removing the death penalty prevented that". (I know that's not what you said, but it's an extension of the argument you describe.)
Nothing much, its a basic recounting of the appointees work history with some encouragement that that will translate into enforcement actions against Big Tech.

Thanks I did not know this existed.

I have started a small side project which is somewhat related. I started it because I saw the beneficial aspects of walks and wellness from my own journey over the last few years. It is something I wish existed in the world but does not. The idea seemed so small and inconsequential that i thought it could make a good non-profit that has a significantly positive impact on wellness. There is a model in where it would be self-sustaining. If anyone is keen to chat about the intersection of wellness, physical activity and walking drop me a message!
I worked with adding some functionality to a Microsoft PowerApp Covid office tracker template. Having to navigate the GUI for everything was quite cumbersome.

Although it was only two function calls in two places, it seems that every time the template is updated, the calls will have to be added back. Instead of doing a merge in Git, you will now have to remember all the navigation steps to add the changes each time. I don't want to think about what happens if you have more than one person working on an app.

Saw that too. Standby time usually means when it is not in use but can be woken up instantly. That's a far cry from actual usage time. :-| (Compare that too typical tablets where the standby time might be several days or longer, and usage time also much more than 5 hours. Or phones.)
A very misleading calculation.

You don't need to absorb ALL co2 currently being output by Americans. A large percentage of that is already being converted/stored by algae / trees

So the baseline isn't "we need to store all CO2". The baseline is, we need to convert the part that is currently "overcapacity" for our environment. And for that, planting trees IS a good solution. But don't take my word (or Bills) for it.

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6448/76

... Ecosystems could support an additional 0.9 billion hectares of continuous forest. This would represent a greater than 25% increase in forested area, including more than 200 gigatonnes of additional carbon at maturity.Such a change has the potential to store an equivalent of 25% of the current atmospheric carbon pool.

>I really want to see how the US being the richest is calculated.

I don't think it's really a mystery. When people say this, they are referring to the fact that the US has the largest GDP (total, not per capita) in the world. Of course there are pros/cons to this measure. That said, while your hypothetical is true, I'm not sure it's realistic for all the reasons you said; it wouldn't make any sense for the parties involved.
Many of these tree planting schemes are a bit dubious; can you really be sure that they are planting new trees that wouldn't have grown in that area anyway, and will they still be around in 40 years time to make sure the trees grow to maturity and are not cut down and burned?

Placebo Effect
The placebo effect in your life? Well, it definitely plays a dominant role in your life. It reaffirms the fact that you create your reality. You are made to control your brain and when you control the brain, you literally control your mind, body and life. As your brain doesn't produce your consciousness you can use it to train your brain. The brain is a an organ designed for your survival and you can control it totally and never let it control you instead. The placebo effect is directly related to your expectations. When you make prior expectations about something or someone, what happens is that you produce an effect, which can influence your perception of it. Therefore, if you make a strong prior expectation that a medicine is going to make you feel better, you get the same effect after having taken the medicine. This is how your faith healing works. It's not only the case with a medicine you take, but placebo effect is so powerful that it controls the course of your life. When you are subliminally mis- programed by society for a long time, a bunch of well established expectations about something or someone or yourself become part of your belief system, with a strong placebo effect, which limits you from achieving your true self.https://www.youtheuniverse379.com/2021/03/placebo-effect-in-your-life.html?m=1

A lot of IDEs have options to enable emacs-like key bindings. But the mapping is imperfect, and sometimes it gets frustrating. But I tend to work in one environment at a time, so after the initial frustration, I'm fine.

With the same Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker I've used for the past 15 years or so. I primarily use Lavazza Classico[1] or Lavazza Perfetto[2] coffee. The interesting thing about this coffee though, is that it's so non-bitter that it actually seems a little weird after so many years of drinking Starbucks coffee, and other really bitter brands. I find that I need to mix in just a little bit of something like the Starbucks brand Sumatra, to bring back just a touch of bitterness. If I don't, my cup of coffee feels like it's missing something.

Sure, I didn't mean to say that one is the byte swapped version of the other, but that those are two distinct signatures which are written to disk, both of course byte swapped (to RRaA and rrAa, respectively).
People criticize this logic... But it's absolutely correct.

If it doesn't come out with results you like, then the inputs are wrong. Specifically, settlement amounts are probably too low.

People who claim all safety related issues should get a recall are just wrong. If there is a 1 in a billion chance my car explodes and kills me, then a recall should not be done, because my chances of dying on the way to the dealer to have the repair done are higher.
I bet you will. Try to be kind to yourself as it happens. My experience is that it can be very painful — like when your leg falls asleep and then you suddenly get circulation back, but for emotions — but worth it.
For the sake of bringing it into more immediate (for this context) perspective, I'm curious if anyone is able to do the analysis on ecological impact from technology decisions?

For example, choosing fancier, JavaScript-heavy ways of building webpages probably results in clients consuming extra electricity. One could hypothetically estimate the impact, and then come up with an analysis to the effect of, "For a site generating X amount of traffic, you'd need to plant Y trees to offset the decision to use Google Tag Manager."
Apparently even simpler sensor arrays can trigger the brain's perception of physically connecting to another human being-- and the whole emotional cascade that goes with it. If the guy isn't an edge case or exaggerating, this could be an indication of a watershed moment for neural interfaces.

Taking short windows of time to breathe and not think about anything at all. Unrelenting sources of daily stress - even small ones in the back of your head - prevent you from ever releasing the big stuff and throw a shade over everything else in your life. Spending 30 minutes sitting outside, with zero expectations or stressful thoughts allowed, can turn my entire day around. Sometimes multiple days.

I don't think this is all democratic will. The legal and government structures we have that enable the NIMBYism undermine democracy. Yes, single family homes are the greater meme, but I'm convinced if we actually built the density we need (building and public transit) it would be prosperous and people wouldn't flee it.

Simply put, the fact that prices go up in densest parts of SF and NYC basically confirms that there's people that enough people want real cities to bootstrap the process.

What IMHO really is needed are https://reproducible-builds.org/ plus some way to verify within a company that only allowed packages are used. One way to solve this is to check all software (including open source one) into a monorepo and run software that checks for copies of open source code.
One thing that gets me about the sandbox of flatpak is that it doesn't seem to be up to the user. If the developer of the app chooses the permissions, then there isn't a fundamental difference for security from having all permissions anyways.

Ideally a user installs the app and they would know, without reading anything else about the app, that the app is separate from their system. If any app you install is NOT separate from the system, then... the sandbox is like making a giant wall but having a door right in the middle of it.
Thanks! I came to a similar conclusion while researching historic science undergrad syllabi, especially but not limited to Physics. Nothing much (apparently) has changed in Math or Foundations in these subjects.

Murmur – Optical AI for Local Advertising
Fairness does not remove the underlying math of her situation. Even at 0% interest she still has more than 100K in debt which is approximately 3 times her average salary. Treating this like a mortgage (3 times your yearly salary is a good ratio when buying house) she may be able to pay this off in 25 to 30 years. Thats basically the rest of her whole working life. So no asking for simple fairness will not alleviate her plight, bankruptcy on the other hand would if she could discharge the debt.
That's an insightful comment, thank you, and one that mirrors my own experience.

They aren't scientists. And their conclusion is not just false; it's the opposite.

If you have a college education, you're proportionally much more likely to have a "very unfavorable" view of QAnon. (26% with no college degrees, versus ~42% with college or higher).

How did the journalists get it wrong?

1) They fixated on a poorly worded polling question: "How accurate or inaccurate are the claims made by QAnon?" (I myself believe that QAnon's claims are "somewhat accurate", in a similar way that I notice that broken clocks are correct twice per day.)

2) They failed to notice that non-college-educated people overwhelmingly account for people who are "unaware" of QAnon. It could be inferred that education correlates with worldly awareness, and hence the ability to have opinions on obscure topics.

In conclusion, don't trust popular press. Journalists lack the analytical skill and incentives to accurately report on science, much less on raw data. https://xkcd.com/882/

The whole idea of SBOM is a bad one because of the rate of change in software. For example, a simple Python web app will aggregate change all the way from the OS, to the language ecosystem, to the application code. What was in the product when you installed it will change dramatically. Bonus: much change is being driven by security issues in your software's supply chain. This idea is just paperwork for the sake of paperwork and will just make vendors like SolarWinds more entrenched.

I didn’t know that — I knew it was a measure, but not necessarily that it’s the measure most people mean.

> I'm not sure it's realistic for all the reasons you said; it wouldn't make any sense for the parties involved.

I would argue that a major economic viewpoint is exactly this has happened — women entered the workforce to do jobs that replaced the role they traditionally did at home, which boosted GDP but crashed a bunch of untracked value.

I’ve had several economists explain that to me as the source of growing worker discontentment: they give more labor for less value delivered to them, but it makes the number bigger on the books. You say it doesn’t make sense for the parties involved, but that’s only true of the two families: the government gets extra tax revenue if the families make that exchange. People outside those families have an incentive to force them into that position because those people benefit from the families loss.

I think if you added a couple steps to my scenario (and some information fuzziness), you could see it happening in the real world.

I overly distilled the point to highlight the absurdity.
