Exactly! If I had anything to hide, I'd make sure to give them the 'correct" password that will wipe out selected data from the device.
puh, what is the author an unfriendly dude. I really wonder how his package became so important for home assistant. I hope home assistent sees this and begins to develop a replacement for all of authors stuff.
>An Electron-based UI to copy a disk image to an usb stick comes to my mind

Subjective. Questionable to you. Nobody is bloating dd

There is definitely bloated software but it's not a huge issue. If it were, then the customer would care. If the customer cares the business would care.
Don't have time to compare them now but I've been looking at flagr. This seems more polished.
You're using conservativism vey much in American GOP understanding of the term, which has stopped being conservative a while ago.

Conservativism is a relative position, but you can't be a conservative liberal.

Economist literally had a massive article what is conservativism. And - SPOILER - UK Torries used to be conservative, while GOP has been reactionary/populist for a while now.
I think he was talking about Seasteading:

Yes, fabaff is a bigger home-assistant contributor to my knowledge and started to help out packaging a lot of the missing python libraries for NixOS.
I guess I've always struggled with this, because this seems like an extremely easy problem to solve.

In this particular instance, if you think the problem is "nix users are overwhelming me" - then you have a hard and fast requirement of: if you want support fill out this form that includes OS version. If someone lists NixOS as their version you give a canned response linking them back to the Nix github page.

If the issue is just a generic: my package is so huge there is just an unending list of people asking for help. Ignore them? I get as a maintainer you may have a desire to help folks, but nobody is forcing you to. Browse github and respond to the things you feel like responding to, and ignore the rest.

I mean this with all due respect, but part of being an adult is knowing when and how to say no.
More importantly, why does that deserve priority in my time, vs say, climate change regulation, or ending police violence
Trump is far from the only politician pandering to religious (especially Christian) interests, nor is he very representative.

If Christianity wasn't a major force in America there would be no controversy over Roe vs Wade (which everyone expects to be overridden soon, thanks to Christian activism) nor over gay marriage.
> If you'd like some stats - 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Fewer than half of Americans consider Christmas primarily a religious holiday.

Maybe we're looking at different stats. I'm looking at the ones you linked from Pew, which show that 61% of Americans who celebrate Xmas consider it to be Christian, down from 64% in 2014.

That's supposed to convince me that it is a secular holiday?
Hydrogen might be an option. Also for heating as a near drop in replacement for natural gas, although not without problems.
>> protected by the falls

There are protections for house owners. In extreme cases, one can walk away from a mortgage, and take a 7-year loan default.
I've used both. Induction stoves are magical, and I also love gas. If you were going to electrify, go induction and you might even enjoy the fact that many things get to temperature faster.
Can you give an example of the second type? I see this kind of strawman argument against centrism all the time, yet I rarely see "worst of both worlds" outcomes in a political sense
Definitely. Godspeed.
> PS Americans also overwhelmingly vote either Democrat or Republican in non-presidential elections

Americans overwhelmingly abstain rather than voting for any of the offered candidates, Democrat, Republican, or independent or minor party, in non-Presidential elections. 2018 had the highest midterm turnout since the before the Reagan era, and it reached the whole way up to 49%.
Not retroactively. They can stay on the old version forever / maintain the new fork but any new code will be under the new license.
Though it's very important to get a supervisor you can collaborate with, especially for your mental health, so choosing mainly based on personal chemistry is a valid strategy.
> The border crisis is a good example of this.

In my experience, the biggest contributor to the echo chambers is a lack of memory.

I do not think people's memories are bad, but rather they willfully ignore the other party's position, never learned it in the first place, or are justifying it because their party is in power. This is what centrists frequently get mocked at "both sides" about. They aren't saying "oh both sides are trying to stage an insurrection" they are saying "both sides are not going to let immigrants across the border" (but it'll be generalized to everything being both sided).

I think the way to cure this is also the way to make parties better. Criticism. We should always critique our parties to make them better. Unless you believe they are perfect already and getting direct commands from god, it is deserving of criticism. But we've encouraged a culture where criticism isn't (effectively) allowed. It is allowed by certain people who speak in a certain way, but not for the average person. (e.g. if you are speaking to someone you don't know that well and politics are brought up and you criticize something x party recently did it will be presumed you are of the opposing side). I believe part of this is because we are comparing politicians and parties rather than judging them independently (this is also why I'm a big supporter of Cardinal voting as opposed to the common Ordinal propositions).

This is essentially the root of whataboutism. The classic example is one I had my parents many times over the last decade. I suggest Trump should be investigated for his connections to Epstein given his frequent contact. And my dad would be like "but what about Clinton!" and my response has always been "yeah, him too." Because it isn't about parties, it is about the crime that was potentially committed. If something is bad, then it is bad if the other party does it or if your party does it. Tribes don't matter. The whataboutism is just a distraction technique.

TLDR: Don't forget the past. Criticize everyone. Stop saying "what about...".
I would suggest reading some sources outside the US. Specifically, I would recommend the Economist. While the Economist has a very distinct view, it does provide a little higher level, distanced view of US and world politics.

It has highlighted to me some biases from some of the sources I follow on a day by day basis (NYT, Washington Post).

Bonus points for the Economist, because you also get coverage and analysis of events across the world many of which get almost 0 coverage in US press.
You have more fine control over the heat with gas, but the timer in my cheap induction plate did save my bacon a few times...
Yeah, I was throwing the author a bone, there. Unfortunately, with scare articles like this, it’s somewhat of a self fulfilling prophecy. We need articles talking about how it’s relatively easy given historical capabilities, but we need actual action.
> Governments need to step in and protect their citizens from this nonsense.

Because citizens are being forced against their will to participate right? I don't know about the rest of you but I know I've held a gun to people's heads before and made them buy Bitcoin.

Edit: love the downvotes, fuck this place. Go ahead and hell ban me or something.

"Their coverage of US politics was also laughably bad."

It's an English magazine that's not even 'News'.

Also this: "During the push to pass the ACA they overstated the GOP's position and willingness to deal." Is a pretty petty reason to not read something. Also, they could have been right.

There are better reasons not to read the Economist.
Fox News has moderated a lot over the past few years, while CNN and MSNBC have moved quite a bit to the left. You see it more on cultural issues than say economic or foreign policy issues. Joy Reid, for example, just says the most outrageous falsehoods and goes completely unrebutted: https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1403950560907300865?s=20
Based on that article, the programs vary widely by state including eligibility standards and rates of reimbursement.

> As of 2013, Medicaid is a program intended for those with low income, but a low income is not the only requirement to enroll in the program. Eligibility is categorical—that is, to enroll one must be a member of a category defined by statute; some of these categories are: low-income children below a certain wage, pregnant women, parents of Medicaid-eligible children who meet certain income requirements, low-income disabled people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Social Security Disability (SSD), and low-income seniors 65 and older.

This makes it seem like it's not just "low income", but also membership in one of those other categories.

I also didn't see anything on the page that indicated what share of expenses were covered by medicaid, but perhaps I missed it.
I've heard people characterize cable news as kayfabe—the handbook for professional wrestling. Cable news is entertainment, and the same way the WWF was eventually pressured into changing their name to the WWE, we have to hope one day CNN and Fox News (along with MSNBC, etc.) will change their monikers.
I grew up cooking on a gas stove, and have since gotten used to electric and induction as I started renting. Electric (with a heating element) is truly horrible. You have to constantly move the pan off the heating element when you want to reduce the heat.
Induction, is however, very responsive and I don't really notice a difference between it and gas.
This is so painful to read, Venezuela sounds like a failed state, it can’t even provide running water to its people in Ordaz. The daily human toll must be ghastly.

How does a country ever get back on a positive trajectory after such a catastrophe?
> It's not "left-wing" if it's true.

Then Fox News is also not right-wing.
I meant that ads are obnoxious to everybody.

Whereas with crypto, you can just ignore the subject entirely if you so wish. You won't be shouted at, when you open your digital newspaper to read stuff, that YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GET MORE DOGECOIN!!!
I have used gas, fire, electric, and modern electric (the glass kind). No induction yet.

Modern electric is best for consistency and control. Gas is best for fast heat. (wood) Fire is amazing for smores, great for grilling if you have the time to turn it into a radiant heat source.

Old electric (metal plates) sucks and is terrible.
You're seeing the point. This isn't a bubble. This is objective reality.
They appear to have done that last bit after getting nowhere with the Nix maintainers. Does that prove their seriousness?
> > When two clusters share a common genesis block, they attempt to converge.

This is a situation analogous to conflicting chains during a bitcoin block reorg, made more complex by the fact that validators have opinions about which other validators they are in a cluster with.

> More importantly, the cluster is only 150 validators:

> > A Solana cluster is capable of subsecond confirmation for up to 150 nodes with plans to scale up to hundreds of thousands of nodes.

It's like 700 currently. Larger validator sets lead to logarithmically slower confirmations. At the time that doc was written, one point on that curve was (150 validators, 1 second) or so.

they have good reason to not not include it.
The problem is our mainstream news sources lie constantly.

At least where I grew up, it was more than just "these are the restaurants that are open." Perhaps it started as that but it is now a cultural tradition.

My parents are non-Christian immigrants to the US and we celebrated Christmas every year growing up. Have you really not seen this? Especially in the cosmopolitan urban environments that Christmas movie settings skew towards?
It looks like the bigger question here is this:

Is it the official policy of the home-assistant project that their software should not be packaged by NixOS?

frenck is the fourth most active contributor to home-assistant - and it uses quite a few libraries he has authored: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/graphs/contributors

If frenck is saying NixOS can't package his libraries, he's actually enforcing that NixOS cannot package home-assistant. Is this direction agreed by the other maintainers of that project?
The author helped that along.
"One obvious question is why there wasn’t more evidence of money anxiety in 2009."

Because in that time people were literally hoarding cash in the mattress. Banks were going bankrupt, even the big banks were threatened, the FDIC was worried about a real mass-scale bank run.
True that. Setting expectations and believing something is possible is an underrated part of the process to get there.

Pessimism leads to inaction.
Features I want to see in things like this:

1. Images/videos showing the exercises

2. Program generators. I have {equipment} and n days per week. Which programs work for me? Or, I have {goal} and n days per week, what should I do? The programs would be populated with exercises from the DB, programs could be exported, etc.

3. As much ELI5 info as possible - the barrier to exercise for a lot of people (myself included despite my experience) can be not knowing wtf something is, or why to do it, and generally what the benefits are.

4. Treat warmups like any exercise - a critical part of the routine. Include lots of warm up exercises, whether it's something you make quantifiable progress with or not. Everything from skipping rope and light jogging to dead bugs. Include these as part of program generation.

Maybe something does this, but my favourite tracker (Strong) doesn't cover all of it and I'd switch in an instant if something did. I like the idea of switching programs every year or so, experimenting with warm ups, having convenient access to understanding programs and lifts better, etc. As it is, working out requires a crazy amount of research. Or a coach.
As I said, they show both sides, but they choose which two.

They are not as forthcoming with their biases as it seems. They mainly set up their ideological oppositions as conservatives, but they in fact have a lot in common with them. This is especially true for foreign relations.

I'd be happy to see examples of articles that go against the Economists' editorial agenda in profound ways and that pertain to foreign policy.

If you want news coverage that is any good at all and you care about foreign affairs you absolutely have to include at least one and preferably two non-anglophone or non-western sources that preferably oppose each other.

A good barometer I have for journals as far as foreign policy is their coverage of the Iraq War before it began. As far as I can see the Economist published almost nothing opposing it, limiting themselves to surface-level reporting of anti-war arguments in the sole goal of defeating them.

I don't understand why you would limit yourself, if you had to choose 4 sources, to 4 centrist anglophone sources. It seems like a very biased media diet.

To be clear, the leader of the conservative party of the US recently attempted a coup.
I'm happy to see that since this post, a bunch of workouts have been added (whoever did the saitama one got a good laugh out of me).
Unfortunately, the founder of Home Assistant has acted similarly too. When NixOS maintainers raised concerns, he accused them of having "no intention to contribute anything positively." This was despite NixOS maintainers' best efforts to engage in a civil discussion.

To make matters worse, he even used the fact that the NixOS discussion was temporarily locked down due to high tensions and accused NixOS maintainers of attempting to shift the maintenance burden on Home Assistant, which is hardly what all this is about.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-addi...
Okay, so ... I know someone might, but really who will audit any of his existing code?

(Sure, that's slightly different than identifying such an auto-update point and then trying to do a supply-chain attack. But do maintainers look at what they package? In how much detail?)
That I can totally understand. However, if we're looking at the labor market as a whole, people making comfortable tech salaries are definitely outliers. Coupled with the fact that (anecdotally) it seems many of the people who don't want to return to their old jobs (or want to resign) are either in the service industry, or have/had lower paid entry level job salaries, I'm still stuck trying to understand how these folks will survive financially.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if all these "great resignation" articles are referring to high paid skilled jobs (eg tech workers), which in my opinion wouldn't effect the economy as a whole very much since they are a relatively small portion of it, or if these articles are referring to the broad economy including lower paid jobs.
I wonder if maternity/paternity leave laws in UK have any affect on making this more feasible?

My understanding is that workers get a year of maternity leave, a few weeks of paternity leave, and there is some sort of sharing arrangement whereby maternity leave can be used to extend paternity leave.

When maternity/paternity leave ends, the worker must be given their job back.

I'd expect that at many employers they can't just have the work that someone on leave would have done go undone so they are going to have to bring on someone else to do it--someone who knows that they will only be needed until the person they are filling in for comes back from leave.

Thus, I'd expect there to be a need across nearly all industries and at nearly all skill levels for people who want to fill a 6 month to a year opening.

Compare to the US (Federal 12 weeks maternity leave if your company has 50 people, no legally required maternity leave otherwise--individual states sometimes add more), where openings for people to work a temporary job for a few months tend to either be low end jobs or very specialized consulting jobs. The former don't pay enough to afford a 6 on/6 off lifestyle, and the latter are out of reach of most people. There aren't many good middle-class jobs to support 6 on/6 off.
I agree, adding a display and other mods isn't so impressive. They might as well order the microprocessor board from the manufacturer.
Based on my light understanding of crypto related things, I think Bitcoin very obviously has a purpose and a mission while Dogecoin was literally created as a joke and happened to take off...that would be understanding of their “objectives” as referenced in the article.
I watched this a couple years ago and found it had lasting impact.
> Fox News has moderated a lot over the past few years

I routinely read Fox News online. I do not think they have moderated over the last 2 years - there was perhaps some moderation 4 years ago, but no longer.

CNN has swung leftward, I don't think MSNBC has substantially changed.
Wow, that thread is wild.

If the views in that discussion are generally representative of the perspective of a majority of homeassistant maintainers & stewards, I'd be extremely wary of relying on the software long term.

This is the absolute antithesis of the intent of open source.

An organizational hierarchy is your reporting structure, e.g,. your boss telling you what to work on. A social status hierarchy is about how society esteems you, i.e., your social capital.
The broader issue here, again, is that maintaining FOSS software seems to be becoming a shittier and shittier proposition.

I can fully empathize with him that he doesn't want some other project shipping an old an broken version of his project even though it is allowed by the license.

FOSS is really quite ill at this point. If you don't recognize what is happening, you're going to see this happening more. Continuing to blame maintainers that are burned out and frustrated and broke won't fix the systemic issues.
except he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to. ignore/delete. Problem solved.
I mostly use gas. I loved my induction cooktop and its precise and fast heat control when I had it, but the only thing I didn't like was that it required all pots to be flat (I have round woks with only a tiny flat area) and everything had to be compatible with induction, so no clay or aluminum.

Even on the traditional gas vs electric debate, the heating power of a gas cooktop isn't guaranteed -- smaller BTU rated stoves take forever to heat with their dinky flames. I once had one that maxed out at around 350F when using a big pan.
If you’re thinking of things in terms Republicans vs Democrats, or left vs right, you are already behind the 8-ball. The entire framing of this article is counterproductive to clear thinking.

If you really want to break out of your political echo chamber, you have to first decide how you want the world to be, and why, and then look for people and orgs who can help make it that way. You have to start with facts and policy and then find partners to work with, and politicians who will be open to your preferences. This is how the pros approach governing, including the names you read in the paper every day.

Partisan politics is the tool that powerful people wield to get what they want; it’s not a core part of their identity. If you’re not approaching politics with the same pragmatic skepticism, you are the one getting used by them.

I think I see what you are trying to argue and let me say, with as much respect as this comment box allows me to convey, that I completely disagree.

First of all, if you have skin in the game then it becomes even more important to try to understand the opposition's arguments in order to convince them to join your cause and to prevent others from joining the other side.

As for your example, I am convinced that trans people have a battle to fight for greater acceptance in most (all?) societies. But I would still insist that they have only earned the right to call someone, or something, trans-exclusionary, if they have given careful thought to the argumentation and the positions actually taken.

Sometimes this is easy: if someone says "trans women are not women" then in my mind that is not even a coherent position (define "woman"). But if someone says "most trans women have not had the same childhood experiences as cis women" then that is (to me at least) a statement of fact. Calling the latter statement trans-exclusionary is not what I would call a well-reasoned opinion.
