It seems kinda ironic to me that you're arguing for people being wired a certain way when the outcome of this (and the other experiments, which involved sandwich recipes) seems to point to the fact that people are not wired the same. I default to the opposite position of yours, ie taking the problem exactly as stated. Indeed, I find it quite challenging when posing some sort of hypothetical to people (eg in debate) and they import additional considerations rather than addressing an issue as stated - although this paper and this conversation give me a better understanding of why that might be.
In this case it is intentional and basically became a feature to the point that probably majority uses.

The hash requirement is kind of a chicken & egg problem, because to fetch a file you need the hash, and to get the hash you need to fetch the file. So this gives a way to escape it.

There's also the "proper way" to use the prefetch command (I personally like the nix-universal-prefetch) which basically fetches file to the cache and outputs the hash, but in that case it is one extra command which you need to figure arguments for, so the former method is just faster.

For what it’s worth, I noticed a correlation between bad company news and union disputes that started about 10 years ago with Boeing. I remember visiting Seattle as you drive by the Boeing facility on the way in, my cab driver was telling me how Boeing was going to shut down the plant and move everything to South Carolina.

On that same trip, I was staying at a hotel with a view of city hall from my window (The Artic Club). I heard a bunch of horns blowing and looked out the window to see a line of cabs parked out front honking for about 1 minute before they drove off. News crews were there so I watched the local news that night.

That clip was there but the news made it sound like the drivers had been there all day blockading and honking. It was nothing more than enough time for a news clip (protesting Uber).

At that point, it became very clear to me how unions operate.

“ it is widely believed that the virus was leaked to the public in a laboratory accident (may have been kept frozen in some laboratory beforehand).[4][5][10][11][12][13][17][19”

And on top of that, the original SARS leaked from Chinese, Taiwanese, and Singapore labs a minimum of 4 times.

So parent’s cited statement is false and does not apply.
This is so cool! Don't know what the best way to contact you is, but I shared some thoughts at the email in the footer.
Yeah, it seems the key is in exploiting the lack of law enforcement resources. I read an article yesterday about Canadian doctors trafficking fentanyl patches. The,now retired, agent who busted a small ring said he could have gotten 1000 doctors if he had the resources. He also mentioned the courts would not back him up on a large bust either. If he brought them 100 doctors he said they would tell him to pick the worst seven.

A Narrow Focus
> putting crazy amounts of effort in for a simple outcome, that just works

There's a fine line though. You want to put in the effort into a task where it makes sense, like in the article.

Personally, I see a lot of effort put into tasks where the person is comfortable with the effort, because they know they can do the task manually, the old way, and "don't have time for anything else".
I looked at a few of these; none seems to take investment from average joes. Even if i show up with $1M in cash, doesn't look like any doors are open. Is that accurate?
If you want to force yourself to work, the only way is to ramp up meaningful punishment for not working. Being fired doesn't serve as such because it's not felt daily, it comes all at once. You need a daily dose of reward/pain to form/alter habits. You can setup some reward for being diligent too, it's even better to have both.

I say this but, of course, in your place I'd focus on the disease, not the symptom. Maybe search for a more motivating work environment or job position. Maybe do some therapy to investigate your lethargy (if it's intermittent instead of constant, there must be something to it). Maybe just stop working, if you're privileged enough to afford it.

Right. I was explicitly responding to OPs claim that SaaS lacks long term sustainability because Adobe's approach seems like it could kill their long-term userbase.
I'm not sure what you mean with "there is no sustainable industrial fishing"? If you look at e.g. Norway, fishing has been industrialized literally since the Byzantine empire was around. While there was indeed a crisis with overfishing in the post-war period, today it is a well-regulated and sustainable industry with quotas set on the basis of scientific measurements of the population sizes of different species. So it seems to be unambiguously possible?
> `man -K "free space"` isn't very fruitful

"free space" doesn't turn it up, but on my system only turns up one result that obviously isn't it, no big loss.

"free" also doesn't turn it up, which seems like a missed opportunity. Going through the 40ish results before you're confident it's none of them is needlessly painful, but not crazy.

Both "disk" and "space" do turn it up, though, and also surface du (amongst about 50 other things).

I don't think scanning through <100 text items is clearly worse than digging through (say) the Windows control panel GUI.

I'd also note that TUI encompasses two kinds of thing - the utility in the shell (like df) and the captive interface that takes you away from your shell for an extended time as you navigate possible actions in some other manner. The latter has more of the benefits and drawbacks of a GUI.

~~~

In any case, I don't think your thesis is too far off, and I certainly welcome improvements to composability and discoverability across the board.
Code that ships beats purist code (except perhaps for educational or hobby purposes).

I can't believe I get to say this: I actually worked on the pre-cursor to this card!

The project was started in 2001 and was to develop ID cards for immigrant workers that regularly crossed the border for work. The purpose was to create an ID card that could not be forged or tampered with.

The cards looked very similar to those in section 3.1 -- identifying information and a picture, with a passport-like encoding. Unlike the picture in section 3.1, all of the information was placed on the front of the card. When a new card was produced, the software created a cryptographic hash of the identifying information and the picture which was stored both on the card's mag-stripe and in a central database.

When users were authenticated at the border, the card was placed face-down on an optical scanner much like you see at airports today. The software then computed a hash of both the personal information and the picture. In offline mode the system would compare the hash only to the hash on the mag-stripe, but in online mode the system would connect to the central database to verify the mag-stripe hash matched and existing entry in the central database.

I think the Estonian government used that system for two or three years.

The best part of this setup was that the system did not in any way create a national registry. Instead, it proved the the ID (token) was not tampered with and that the token had indeed been created by a registered government authority.

Funny story: In early testing, I created an ID using my manager's name and a photo of my co-worker's ass. I still have the card at home somewhere. Who knows... it may still be in the database!
>workers can optionally participate without having wages garnished.

This is the direct purpose of so-called "right-to-work" laws. Unions are required to represent employees regardless of whether or not they pay dues, meaning other members shoulder the costs of collective bargaining. This is called the "free rider" problem and is one of the biggest ones facing unions today. It's also one of the main targets of the PRO Act.

Gutenberg's place in history is as the man who ushered in the printing press and commodity publishing in the west. Whether or not he was the first ever to do it isn't relevant to that history, but I do think knowing that other people were onto similar ideas is interesting.

A long time ago I wanted to set up a proxy voting service - the idea was that your pension fund invested in X hundred companies, and you therefore had X/100 shares in each - with a median pension a single person would get to vote at a large % of AGMs annually.

Now one or two or 50 shares wont make much difference - but this eventually becomes shareholder democracy.
Well not quite, because Microsoft also contributes $1k to an HSA as part of the plan every year.

That said, having to pay up to $3k a year in medical costs when you're earning a Microsoft salary is a much smaller percent of your income than having the pay the same making $15/hr at an Amazon warehouse.

Thanks Phil.

Just work doesn't mean it just works as you personally desire. It means just works in a consistent predictable fashion that is suitable for use not desirable for your taste or matching behavior on windows.

Personally I expect windows to show up on the same monitor as the currently focused window or the cursor and having it pop to a primary monitor would be from my perspective a defect. I would have to test but I think that outside of gnome this is actually how the majority of linux environments work out of the box.

You don't have set a windows rule in the settings gui just to use your computer. You have to set a windows rule in the settings gui for your computer to work in the fashion that you prefer. That you regard this setting as essential doesn't mean that it actually is just that you strongly prefer it.

You don't see how women, knowing full well that some men are already looking at them as sex objects might be uncomfortable saying the names of sexual organs around those same men? More uncomfortable than a man who knows (or at least believes) those men aren't thinking about him that way?

The article even says women have been harassed speaking about it.

Look I already said I think it's an awkward name for men and women, but this feels like a failure of imagination to me.
For context, this is the PhD thesis of Arnis Paršovs [0], a cyber security researcher who has written on topics pertaining to the Estonian electronic ID system since as early as 2013.

> solve the other problems in ways that reduce fragmentation

There's a contradiction here. How do you expect to avoid fragmentation if adding additional protocols alongside Wayland is required? I mean, obviously there won't be just one protocol. This idea is actually a common joke, there's even an XKCD on the topic.

First focus on your health, physical and mental. If something's wrong, go to a doctor. It sounds like obvious advice, but a lot of people will overlook how important a good checkup is. Your doctor may provide you medication that could help focus, or sleep, or anxiety, or all of the above.

It certainly depends on your hardware. The GP is just rooted in a completely different experience than yours.
My advice, which is probably not great for your health, is to lean into it and accept that coding is more of an art than a job. Let yourself get into a flow, and when you do, stay there as long as possible even if it means messing up your sleep. Then start working on reducing the time between these flow states.

If you're too tired or unmotivated to start, or get into the flow, you might also want to ask yourself if you're really doing what you want to be doing. If the work doesn't matter, of course you don't want to do it. So either pick different work, or figure out how to force yourself to get it done, knowing that there's nothing "wrong" with you -- you just don't want to work on boring things.

That said, it's totally possible to go in the other direction. You've got an awesome project that you want to work on, but fear of success is hamstringing you from starting. This is the worst, most insipid form of procrastination and it really just sucks. The best thing you can do is recognize it, but it's really a life long problem for some. Exercise and routine help, but I think a lot of creative types find that to be a bit of a boring shtick... if that's the case you could consider talking to a psychiatrist about an ADHD diagnosis... there are pills for that after all, but they come with their own tradeoffs.

Oh, and if you haven't yet, download something like SelfControl.app and block every site that you reflexively enter into your URL bar. Another trick that works for me is leaving my work unfinished at night, but knowing what I need to do to finish it, so I have something to jump into immediately the next day.
I see your point, but to be fair, it is 10% after the first $1.5k. And it is already a much better insurance than most people working in offices I know get.

Essentially, what it means is that if an employee spends less than $1.5k/yr on medical expenses, they don't gain much benefit. If they spend over $1.5k, they essentially only spend 10% after that on all of their medical expenses. And once they hit a hard cap at $3k, they spend nothing at all. 90% off for most medical stuff is a great rate.

Not even mentioning the fact that this kind of an insurance is a godsend to people with major health problems, given that in the worst possible scenario, they would only ever spend $3k of their own money in a calendar year on medical stuff. And that's only if their actual pre-insurance-cost expenses are closer to the $16.5k, because $1.5k + $1.5k/0.1 = $16.5k.

And I am yet to see a better insurance out of any employers (not just warehouse employers). Even the "amazing" student insurance I had back in college (which I had to pay the premium for) was much worse than this.

I doubt this would ever exist unless someone transcribed it and relaid it out. It probably never existed in a consumable digital form.
Rightly so, but the issue is that the conditions pertaining to work in an Amazon warehouse do not lend themselves to being the kind of work one can do for decades+. People burn out, their legs grow week, and they get no insurance benefits for physical therapy, and that sort of thing. It's just not a sustainable job for most people, sadly.

I will probably post something somewhere when I actually get to availing myself of the Residency status for what it was planned for - the pandemic put the brakes on that a bit ...

So far, I can speak for the ease of the sign up process, quality of the documentation, clarity and community behind the effort. Oh, and, the tech. The tech is very well done. Thoughtful integration -everywere-. Deep buy-in from the state itself (this is a must, and - methinks - what makes it all tick).-

To clarify: the tech is not "ground breaking" (yet?). It is very run-of-the-mill cryptography, certificates, etc ...

It's the -degree- to which it has been implemented in the whole "administrative stack", from government to stakeholders (CPAs, SMBs, the self-employed), and how it has been integrated into a coherent effort, that makes it work.-

Edit: To add to the insightful point below. Yes. A modern, innovative and forward-thinking regulatory framework is a sine qua non, and what has actually made any of this possible. That regulatory overhaul (first) and support is the the most important form "government buy-in" takes ...

I hadn't realised it til now, but I do the same. It's a really great way to get started, because it tends to coincide with not having yet gained a broad range of responsibilities pulling you in different directions. You become a domain expert in something (which was probably lacking across the team) and peers appreciate it.

After they've seen that, you organically start getting invited to all kinds of more interesting projects and discussions.

> if you accept ceding control of the vast majority of communication to private control

When our lifetimes has it not always been this case? Newspapers, television, internet have always been this way (owned by an organization and provided with contractual limitations). Talking face to face in your own home is the only unabridged communication method, even in the USA. I have always found this issue strange that people demand that App Stores, cloud platforms, web hosting, etc must allow any content despite the companies’ freedom of association (and disassociation). We aren’t talking about companies which are covered by Common Carrier laws.
