I used to have a "standard" RSS reader a long time ago but then got swamped in the hundreds of posts I didn't (have time to) read. It was such a big source of FOMO I had to completely stop using it.

Now i'm happy using fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/) because it behaves the way I want: a very active source will only overshadow itself. Instead I have a list of all sources and I can have a quick look of the latest article of each source on the same screen. When I feel a source is too noisy it means I'm not interested in every single post, so I push it down to lower levels of importance, who live in a different tab. I know stuff happens there but I'm rarely interested so it's ok if I check only once a week for example.
Anything will sound dumb if you dumb it down enough. In actuality
A) the eruv only works on a specific case. A public domain needs to have a very wide street with 600,000 people who pass through it every day, which places with an eruv don't have. Technically as per biblical law you can carry even without an eruv, it's only as per rabbinic prohibition that you're not allowed to carry unless you have an eruv. In addition
B) the eruv used in most modern communities is the weakest possible form of eruv and not everyone holds by it. My rabbi would only carry in a walled community. Here a great english language article explaining the laws is the following: https://www.halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Introduction_to...
A forum mostly frequented by us overpaid workers doing little-more-than-if-any work that society actually needs is not the right place to discuss unions. Of course people in our industry, no matter devs or ops or founders or "founders", despise unions as they get in their way with demands of some basic workers rights. But there are industries where unions are desperately needed to keep workers sane, safe and overall dignified. With little first hand experience it's just too easy to dismiss that.

I used to use Guake but felt the need sometimes to be able to resize/move terminal open next to a window, say, for comparing something. So I instead setup a script to run a regular terminal such that it a) starts a terminal instance if none are running b) activates the terminal window if an instance is running and c) presses alt-tab to switch away from terminal if the terminal window is active. The script is bound to a shortcut key so basically I get the Guake type functionality (without the fancy drop-down of course) + can treat the terminal as just another window on the desktop.

>In a typical OSS project, no one can give orders. The programmers ignore any good design suggestions because they don’t recognize those, and implement their own crappy ideas instead. Sometimes while arrogantly dunking on the designer who tried to make a contribution. Consequently, UX quality is abysmal, and anyone who could fix that is driven away. I don’t see a solution to this.

Generally, going into an open source project as a stranger and suggesting to make architectural changes without expectation of pushback is not a good idea. Any change there is going to trample on someone else's workflow. You have to build up trust first before people see you as an authority, that is the solution and it's often the only one. It's worked for some projects such as the recent post about Audacity, even though it's a bit of an extreme example because the person was already established as a well-known designer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26995610

I don't blame the programmer for dismissing suggestions they don't understand but it's also not cool if you were "dunked on" so I'm sorry if that was your experience. Keep in mind that's still better than some, a lot of projects will just ignore suggestions completely if they figure you're just not part of their target audience, and they don't have the budget to expand that audience.

The only time I've had to use a pager was to support a static data server for an investment bank (partly written by me) which was used by London, Tokyo, HK and NY. Being woken up in the middle of the night I could take (grumpily) but logging on to the bank's systems from home was a thing of Byzantine horror. Anyway, we re-wrote the scripts to page someone who would be at the desk in the appropriate timezone, and all they normally had to do was the classic "turn it off and on again" reboot of the server, or phone one of us in London in extremis.

Ikea is actually not bad. Their materials are cheap but the designs are decent for the price. Compared to comparable items from target or Walmart you typically get a better product. Obviously you aren’t going to get a finely created product out of high end material but in the bottom tier price range they are the best. You would have to pay 2-3x as much to get a minor step up in quality.

Yup, I feel they try to justify themselves and feel they've done something complicated that takes time to understand by newcomers, when in reality the whole thing could be a single Go or C# binary and the entire utilized cluster power is less than a single mid-sized VM that could just run said single binary, without any external dependencies that usually get used to justify Docker.

Some ways a salient article, some ways an indicator of what is wrong with the web. (e.g. both in the technology and in the content)

The article recommends four techniques:

1. is idiosyncratic (what if my whole site is already on a CDN, a single CDN, and my "cross-origin" configuration policy is never making a "cross-origin" request so you never experience a DNS timeout and never leak info to third parties?)

2. He says doesn't work.

3. His version doesn't work and he points you to one that does

4. He points to another article that has a space age technique (did you know that "IndexedStorage" in your web browser can fill half your hard drive without permission and that it starts throwing whole sites overboard at random when you run low on space?)

In all it is like one of those "Motley Fool" articles where they hem and haw about how Gamestop might go up or maybe it might go down and you'd better think about it a lot before you make the decision that is "right for you."

This article will maintain high SEO value for a long time and anybody thinking of making the investment of writing a better one will think twice because it is so hard to overturn a successful article on Google that an article like this will go on confusing people and thinking "HTML is hard..."

There are a lot of folks excited about mRNA as a "programming language" for the body. And it kind of is, but it's more complicated than that. The critical thing is that mRNA is extremely immunogenic -- that is, it provokes a strong immune response. Makes sense, since evolutionarily when we had little particles delivering RNA strands to our cells, they we viruses.

So, that's great for vaccine production. Not so great for other diseases. Cystic fibrosis, for example, the body fails to make one specific protein. We (probably) can't just program it to produce that protein, because it would also train the immune system to target that protein. The best non-vaccine targets are probably cancer, where you want to get the immune system revved up against a tumor.
Chrome for example does not currently compile on darwin-arm64, cross compiling from darwin-x64 is the only way to build that target.

"Strong on government ties to private enterprise" in this case means they ensured all major enterprises had Nazi party members in the boardroom, yes. That's nationalisation by any measure.

No society can abolish private enterprise, only try to control it. The New Economic Plan lasted hardly a few years before the Soviet economy collapsed and it had to be rolled back. From that point on it was not so different to the Nazi economy: there were big conglomerates run by party members or party loyalists and anyone who wasn't one of those was replaced and/or shot.

we see modern day Nazis forming within right-wing political groups

That's a fantasy. Where are the right wing political groups dishing out the top jobs on the basis of race? They aren't doing so, at least not in the west. Where are the right wing groups agitating against specific racial groups? There are none. The current US VP on the other hand was very openly given her job on the basis of race and gender. That's exactly the sort of thing the Nazis did.

I built a latlon<->word system using geonames as the source of the words. https://3geonames.org
146000 global place names in total.

The first word is the name of the most important geographical location in the given area while the other 2 words are quasi random. https://3geonames.org/LONDON-MOSCOW-PARIS is next to https://3geonames.org/LONDON-MOSCOW-GASSIN . (places that are about 160 metres apart will share both the first and the second word)

Lately I've been thinking of modifying the system to only use place names from the country where the point falls in, so you will only get British place names for locations that fall inside Great Britain. You could also modify the code (it is open source) to whatever you like.

There is an infinite number of ways to skin this cat, but I doubt we will ever all agree on just one.

Ran into this interesting factoid a couple days back:

"Kerogen is solid, insoluble organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Consisting of an estimated 10^16 tons of carbon, it is the most abundant source of organic compounds on earth, exceeding the total organic content of living matter 10,000-fold.... Petroleum and natural gas form from kerogen. Kerogen may be classified by its origin: lacustrine (e.g., algal), marine (e.g., planktonic), and terrestrial (e.g., pollen and spores).... Kerogen is insoluble in normal organic solvents in part because of its high molecular weight of its component compounds. The soluble portion is known as bitumen."

All from the same (previously locked-up) family of goodies, it seems.

> I still don't understand why every software shop on earth feels the need to start with docker/k8s/et. al.

YES YES YES

I am certain at this point they're doing it only to show off and to have something complicated enough to talk about the train new hires on.

One big argument for Docker is no dependencies, but Go and C# already can create fat native binaries that have no dependency on anything else (no .net framework or even VM, all native, same thing in Go). I believe Rust too offers the same thing. There is no excuse with all those different languages all supporting that.

There absolutely are complicated apps that justify Docker and k8s, but the vast majority in the real world do not fall into that, and most certainly that includes small ad-hoc internal services.
That's putting a lot of trust in YouTube that they'll find every claim you make to be valid.

> "sola scriptura" (which directly conflicts with Anglican and Methodist theologies) //

This seems like a misconstrual to me. Anglican and Methodist orthodoxy still has prima scripturum, which is only a very nuanced difference to sola scripturum; both in theory reject influences that are incompatible with scripture as the principle authority.

> In the US evangelical and non-denominational Christian theologies generally posit that accepting Christ as your personal Savior (and the sole source of salvation) is all that is necessary to be saved (and Christian). //

This is not what sola sciptura is about. This is absolutely orthodox in all mainstream Christian denominations, that faith alone is necessary for salvation. Either group would consider the NT's exortations such as "what then shall we go on sinning?" (St.Paul) or "faith without works is dead" (James-the-Lesser) as primary teachings.

I'd actually consider that things are the reverse of your suggestion, that [USA/Western] evangelicals have strayed away from the Scriptures as a principle source of inspiration and instead rely on the characters of leaders and on self-help style influences that don't match well with the revelation of Jesus in the NT. Certainly it only takes 1hr of reading NT to find that being financially wealthy is contradictory to Christianity - not impossible to get to heaven and be rich, but er, maybe as hard as getting an obstinate camel through a tiny gate!?! Prosperity gospel, bah!

Coding by nature is nothing like a regular hobby, like dancing or playing guitar, or skiing...

There is no inherent pleasure in the process itself.

In solving puzzles - yes, in overcoming obstacles - sure, in seeing final product working and not failing - of course.

But coding itself is a boring but inevitable process of reaching some goal(s).

Thus the only reliable and long lasting source of motivation is a specific idea (product) in mind you want to create (no matter how small or simple).

This what can drive you no matter whats snacks or laptop or wifi you have. Without any rituals.

But pushing yourself to code without a good goal is a waste of time.
