First of all, I am pretty certain that the majority of javascript developers runs a MacBook when they have the choice. Second, no I don't think that "I get something wrong". It's not my fault that people use MacOS and don't have a decent package manager (although I hear dood things about homebrew, it's nowhere near rpm/DNF, afaik). It's also not my fault that people that do have a decent package manager don't contribute enough to get tools like volta packaged. Still, I can warn about the stupid idea to execute random she'll scripts from the internet for a "convenient small recipe". Even for that I get flak and attempts to justify the behavior. So no, I don't feel obliged at all to solve their problems. This vector will be exploited some day and it will be embarrassing for some people.

Essentially, I think that people are lazy regarding these things and don't want to think about what they are doing with their systems. If I had an idea how to make things comfortable like this and still be safe and secure, I would sell it. But I don't really see a way to solve this except for moving the code to a trusted channel with a dedicated approval process.
I've always thought this sounded like bullshit.
I have been considering this as well, as I was looking at ReMarkable and other e-ink options.

Having a big-screen phone with a quad-core processor or whatever makes reaching for distractions too easy. Unfortunately I still need to keep a phone around for taking quick notes.
For me it's been the opposite. Being stuck in a suburb with small children, I've connected properly with more people than ever before in adult life. I wasn't actively searching or joining any groups, I just headed out with the stroller a couple of times per day during six (first child) plus ten (second child) months.

I think most people find it simultaneously wonderful and extremely boring to be at home with kids for extended periods, so quite a few seize any chance of having a conversation with another adult. The playgrounds are full of bored parents, and everyone has one or more tiny, human conversation starters.

Kindergarten is pretty good as well for meeting people. When a three year old is invited to birthday party, they kind of have to have a parent along for the event.

Somewhat specific to my locality (Sweden), there is 15 hours per week of free kindergarten for kids with stay-at-home parents. In my city there are specific drop-off and pickup times for those children, which means that six times per week you meet relaxed and slightly bored other parents, who have kids in the same group as you. This essentially always means that you hang around the yard for a bit and socialize.
Is there anything Aspirin won't help against?
People born in the West after the near total eradication of Small Pox, Polio, Mumps, Marlia etc. have never really dealt with a disease that could be an existential threat. In fact, outside of being in the military or acting recklessly (both within control of the actor), most people born post-1970 have never really faced an external existential threat.

I believe this lack of threat has warped our ability to calculate risk properly. We underestimate the risk posed by threats within our control (diet, drinking heavily, excessive drug use, driving dangerously) and greatly exaggerate the risk of external threats (pandemics, terrorism, being murdered randomly).

I wonder if children in their formative years right now will be better at calculating external risk as they lived through what is ostensibly an existential risk that hasn't been experienced in decades. Or did the (arguable) overreaction of society screw their risk tolerance up more than ever?
These comparisons to brick&mortar stores are mostly irrelevant.

Amazon told 3rd party sellers it wouldn't use their sales data for its own sales (and possibly contractually agreed not to? - unsure here), and it now seems that they broke this promise.

How other stores operate doesn't matter. Amazon said it wouldn't do this and used that trust to attract sellers and grow their platform.
How many TBs of data are we really talking here, if it's just 6M rows? Surely this processing could easily be done on a single machine.

>tand when you're on the phone. Don't sit down and slump and relax.

I like this and though I rarely talk on the phone, when I do the vast majority of the time I pace back and forth. Even at the office I’d close the door and do the same. Never thought about these actions at all until now.

Maybe somewhat related growing up my older brother used to do push-ups (usually 20) every time he opened the refrigerator. Watching that day in and day out while he was in high school left a lasting impact on me. No doubt it is odd, but I’d do push ups in all sorts of situations, for example playing disc golf if I had a really bad throw, I’d drop and do push-ups. Maybe something OP could do every time the phone opens, just don’t look at it like a punishment, rather something healthy that helps build discipline and genuine thought to your actions. Plus inevitably it will open the door to openly discussing it with others.
I often read it's easier to replace an habit by another one than trying to only stop it.
> Editors, reporters and producers at GBH News sent nearly 100 letters from different places in the metro area at various hours on the same day to correspondents of their own choosing in 38 states, creating a random sample.

That's not a representative random sample of the mail the post office delivers. It likely oversamples from long tail requests: reporters are likely to choose zanier locations, and even the fact that they're sending the mail (instead of some kind of an institution) makes for a weird sample.

Now, I don't particularly love that the modal mailing is a piece of junk, or that I have to rely on mail to receive certain kinds of institutional communications, but there's no particular reason to think the experiment revealed a failure to meet their SLO.
That’s an absurd conclusion.

We’ve had nuclear accidents before. Should we abandon all nuclear research, since in practice there are accidents?

after i read "discipline beats motivation"[1] i realized my biggest problem with personal projects were exactly lack of discipline, awaiting for the motivation to come by itself.

( the number of "F" varies over time, but tend to reduce... )

Who manages this municipal broadband? Are these the same local governments who are so fond of surveillance? Why would you trust them with your internet access & data?
Yeah, sure, the kids are incredibly unlikely to die from COVID, but what about the grandma they hug when they get home from school? What about the teachers?

I agree on the outdoor activities thing, though. I go for a daily walk through trails behind my house, and I never bothered with a mask.
Airport security app Clear looks to score with U.S. ‘vaccine passport’
It is not much better than the canonical example given in the article. It still has the following usability issues:

-You still need to enumerate and label each new column and their types. This particular problem is fixed by crosstabN().

-You need to know upfront how many columns are created before performing the pivot. In the context of data analysis, this is often dynamic or unknown.

-The input to the function is not a dataframe, but a text string that generates the pre-pivot results. This means your analysis up to this point needs to be converted into a string. Not only does this disrupt the flow of an analysis, you also have to worry about escape characters in your string.

-It is not standard across SQL dialects. This function is specific to Postgres, and other dialects have their own version of this function with their own limitations.

The article contains several examples like this where SQL is much more verbose and brittle than the equivalent pandas code.
> Property taxes will go to fund schools and state governments, not to mention localized sales tax and cash infusion.

And poor areas become poorer because the local municipality collects less taxes than the one with more affluent residents.

Ultra-locality of spending isn't efficient, it just maintains the status quo, it makes counties compete between each other for companies or residents and not all can attract the rich people or companies to fund themselves.

Schools should be equally funded regardless of how rich the people who live in the area are. This is the most basic component for an equitable society: a level playing field on education.

I good reminder to test your home for Radon. Check your local Radon maps, there are hot spots throughout the world that vary locally. Even if maps show low values it is worth testing.
We cycle north of a million containers a day through all our Nomad clusters. Scales, functions, breaks, and is repairable all in predictable ways. The same is true for Vault and Consul.

Also if you run Windows, Nomad is your absolute best choice. I understand k8s work on Windows, however I don't know a single individual running Windows containers.
(Agreeing) The 3 button GUI app is much more likely to be/feel slow because the UI framework used makes it difficult to get the widgets on the screen quickly than because of data processing.

Maybe it insists on a deep heirarchy of widget inheritence as many do. Maybe the framework wants to load and configure all the possible widgets, even though the application only uses a few. Maybe theres a bunch of images loaded from disk even though they're not used. Maybe it's just the fantastic default compositing system that puts everything a frame behind adding up with everything else.

There certainly are applications where data structures matter, and time spent processing data is significant to user experience, but that's not why the whole computing experience feels slower (although maybe prettier) than 25 years ago, despite capability being so much more for most things (as pointed out in the article, ram is better than years ago, and we certainly have more of it, but ram access takes a lot more cpu cycles now)
While I wholeheartedly agree with you, American cities suck with public transport or transportation in general. I've lived my whole life without a car, and just got a driver license at 32 because I can't really take the train to travel here in SF, and public transport is not good and not safe.
Yes, that very literally is active security.
Old wood burning stoves are also quite unhealthy, and perhaps even dangerous. My wife won't let me use ours, which is only 20 years old.

The EPA issued new regulations such that all new stoves manufactured after 2020 emit far less smoke and particulate both indoors and out.

The American Lung Association actually runs programs that will pay you to replace your old wood stove, which probably says something about their potential impact on health.
This is phenomenal. All the eggs I could find are: the spool, pipe, cat, thread (on the far left), shell, boot and fork. Are there any others, not including the characters on the cape and the words on the bags/jars?

> Also, what does it do that retail brokers don't offer better and for free now? News aggregation?

A lot of it is about presentation.

Brokers may "have" the same info as Yahoo Finance or finviz, but if you have to dig through ten pages to get to it and or their charts look like a 1990s website, there's still room.

A lot of more serious investors find themselves paying out of pocket for trading tools like stockcharts/tradingview/finviz/Y!F Plus, because these tools help them be more productive because actual thought and care has gone into the products.

But this is the reason why Bloomberg Terminals are worth $20K/year/seat. On paper, you can find a lot of the same info online for free, but the interface itself is a huge value-add.

> It’s not really clear why that’s relevant to anything.

It is relevant, because you asked for an example. This was a blogpost about clubhouse, and they are using their insane, personal experience, of living in isolation for a decade, to satisfy their curiosity, as some situation that is related to clubhouse, according to them.

That is crazy. That is insane. And I should not have to explain to you why that is the case.

If someone is talking about clubhouse this way, then I have absolutely no problem, with describing such a blog post, as my example of unhealthy levels of obsession.

> Clearly this person’s choices are unusual

You asked for an example, and I gave you one that satifies what you asked for. I am glad you agree that this is an example of unusual behavior.

I totally support this idea ob substituting apps for web interface counterparts. Me and my friend are both kind of addicted to these scroller things and the only way to secure our selves from wasted time is just deleting the apps. If anyone reading this would think how much time they spend on lets say facebook desktop version, or instagram, this would be a clear choice. Also, having a smart watch is a no-no for these addictions as in your mention for stimuli

We're still struggling to figure out why people want to use Kubernetes. I don't mean that is a "Kubernetes" is bad kinda way and we sell a lot of Kubernetes, both running clusters and just general consulting.

It's really really hard to find customers who couldn't just run their containers on one or two VMs. More and more we see the developers getting Kubernetes added to the requirement, and then they show up with as little as ONE container.

The argument I often hear is: Then we can scale up during peak hour. Well.. yes, but this is a cluster limited to just you. You still need to pay for the workers nodes and the control plan. Those don't just turn off. Most people seem to not grasp that running Kubernetes is often more expensive than running VMs or EC2 instances.

You need to have a large number of smaller containers and a lot of interaction between these containers for Kubernetes to make much sense, in my opinion. It's a solution for a small subset of problem, and if your solution is outside that subset, the management overhead might not be worth it.
Ha - I have a new LG front loader and took the covers off to have a look around. It has at least half as many if not 2/3 less parts than the Whirlpool Duet HT it replaced. And the motherboard is tucked up at the top of the washer, not down below like my Duet.

I mean the Duet HT lasted me 15 years (and may last someone else another 15 if I get around to selling it) but the LG bests it in every way. Most impressively it's whisper quiet, barely makes any noise on all but the highest spin speed and even then doesn't shake my whole house like the Duet did. And it does a fantastic job cleaning my laundry. My towels have never been fluffier or more absorbent. It's almost as if someone replaced them mid-wash.

If it's half as reliable as my Duet I'll be ecstatic, and if it breaks I'll fix it. There aren't that many parts and diagnosing these things is pretty easy if you have at least minimum problem solving/deduction/critical thinking skills.
Agreed - did not realize they didn't release a larger screen size.
