I did pay for a version of Windows that does not contain spyware, so I am consistent with my principles.

Speaking of principles, which principle is responsible for taking a working, perfectly stable OS and releasing "updates" for it that introduce spyware?

I just want to make sure we're holding companies accountable to the same degree we're holding individuals.
I think this is saying the same thing. It would be more efficient to say it bluntly, then if necessary ask for additional info, rather than front-loading all the extra that just slow things down. I know I get frustrated when people take so long to get to their point.

There are two things to note, neither of which are well-advertised:

1. The parent comment you're replying to links to the main page for the Wayback Machine, which includes a Save Page Now widget, but Save Page Now actually has a dedicated page <https://web.archive.org/save/>

2. If you have an archive.org account (lets you submit and comment on collections; the library is bigger than just the Wayback Machine) and you visit the Save Page Now page while logged in, you get more options, including the option "Save outlinks"
Ha I just added an edit to my comment on that book specifically. It is definitely an interesting book and would agree that the author put forth a lot of evidence for everything he stated. I haven't tried EMDR personally but it is compelling.
Everyone keeps touting that in the future technology will solve climate change.

Will it? Or will we have to wait for the patent period to expire of said technologies.
Hey, could you invite me to Mem beta-testing? It looks very interesting. I'm using Roam currently, from what I know Obsidian isn't very different from Roam.

I would expand this reasoning to cover all self-driving vehicles.
Is it not in the public interest to ensure that the datasets required to ascertain self-driving vehicles are "safe" be public resources which can be used to create open source testing kits for these vehicles before putting them on real roads?
Why let first-to-market be the metric that determines what a human life is worth?
Should not every effort be made to guarantee that every one of these vehicles are equally "safe"?

Montanan here:

This is true. One of the regenerative crop types are pulses (lentils, chick peas), and MT produces a lot.

https://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/pulse-info/resources-pdf/Growing...

The state often appears in stories about agriculture in precarious environments (See Jared Diamond's "Collapse" for one example.)

Montana is largely a semi-arid desert, especially over the 2/3's of the state that are northern Great Plains. East of the continental divide, it gets about 10" of rain per year, which is about a quarter of the US average.

And with climate change, it is more precarious. Temperatures have been unusually high this summer, and it's fire season now. Weather has become more volatile. (Cherry crops on the Flathead have been destroyed two of the last three years.)
EDIT: When in doubt, read the documentation! PostgreSQL allows you to define your own procedural language to use with the model. Maybe I should be exploring what this means with regard to doing everything via stored procedures in a statically typed functional language. Maybe some OCaml extension is out there or something?

——

Definitely interesting, but I get the sense that it will suffer from the same problems that most ORMs I have used experience. It looks similar to the experience of using ORMs in statically typed languages.

You might be able to achieve this vision in a transpiled language if you can cover exact semantic equivalence for the entire language. I’m skeptical that it is possible without a huge engineering effort by this library, though, because it is targeting multiple different “runtimes” eg dbs.

I’d love to see DB authors of popular DB engines introduce support for some other language to support querying the relational model more directly, though, things like the postgresql jsonb query format not withstanding.

That would not require any parity or expectation of parity with SQL. Maybe I’ll do some research to see if I can find any initiatives along this line. I’m just amazed that this space isn’t better built-out vs, say, Haskell, given the huge buy-in for relational DBs and the amount of time that SQL has been around.

Anyway, thanks for the links! Getting setup with that first one now.
IANAL, but my impression the 14th amendment seems to be one of the things that gets misinvoked all the time (along with RICO), so I'm going to guess "no".

Obesity has an extremely high correlation with poor health. But that's irrelevant as this thread is specifically on weight.

"that in a vacuum has no effect of calories out except generally a negative effect (your body will adapt and try to burn less calories)"

This is comically overstated. No, your body doesn't magically become super efficient. This is, again, feel good pablum to make people feel better about their situation, sure it is an unwinnable battle without Magic Product or System ("buy my new book and subscribe to my It's Everyone Else's Fault newsletter!"). But the feel good stuff clearly is astonishingly ineffective. This tact hasn't worked.

Find any person who is overweight but claims they starve themselves and log and count calories. In 100% of cases you will find a calorie excess, likely significant. Find someone who is a healthy weight but claims they "eat anything they want". In 100% of cases -- okay 99.9% maybe they have a big tapeworm -- they will have a lower caloric intake.

The latter is someone who likely skips meals. They don't snack. They don't drink giant sugary drinks. And then when it's pizza day they have four slices and all of the high BMI sorts lament how they wish they had such a "high metabolism" and that they can "eat anything". It's all bullshit.

There is a significant, very difficult psychological component to eating in excess. It is a very hard problem. But I'll take every angry downvote by people who seriously want to refute the core, fundamental truth about calories, likely while parroting nonsensical myth.

Covid Didn’t Kill Cities. Why Was That Prophecy So Alluring?
Apple don’t post video montages of their security footage online and ask people to look at the faces of the shoppers and see if they can read some meaning into the lack of emotion on their faces.

When you enter an Apple store you are trusting Apple implicitly with your safety and security during your visit. That they might take security video as part of that is a reasonable component of that trust relationship. Being forced to participate as a model in an art exhibit by a random third party with no relationship to Apple violates that trust. It’s no wonder Apple would have a concern.

It’s not remotely comparable to security surveillance, and the artist doesn’t even seem particularly to be trying to draw that comparison, so I’m not sure why people are seeing this as about ‘always being on camera’.
Sure. Is Google Translate used only by serious professional translators who have a rigorous translation-checking process? Not at all.

And as you say, it will be the same with programmers. Who's this being targeted at? People "working in a new language or framework, or just learning to code". The whole value prop is, "You don't have to know what's going on!"

The important difference is that the target readers can usually spot an egregiously bad translation. But the target users for software cannot easily spot gaping security holes and other serious issues until something bad happens.
In any of the British jurisdictions, neither parliament nor the government can dismiss judges. Nor can anyone else.

If they displease the government, then they might not be chosen to head lucrative judicial inquiries - I think that's the only sanction that government can inflict on them.

Neither government nor parliament can "reverse" a patent decision.

Government and parliament have been known to "censure" (criticise) judicial decisions; usually that behaviour provokes a negative reaction among educated people and thoughtful newspapers. It doesn't happen often.

The government can also appeal against sentence in crimnal cases, if they think the sentence was unduly lenient. This is fairly recent statute legislation, and controversial.
Absolutely. CICO is the kind of thing that is so obviously true that anyone claiming it isn't shouldn't be taken seriously. I wouldn't say CICO doesn't help anyone though, because there's a whole lot of people out there trying to make money by telling you you can ignore CICO with this one simple trick. CICO is a useful thing to keep telling yourself when trying to lose weight because the calories are everything and there's no cheating it. Trust me, I have tried.

> Imagining a change in the tech landscape isn't that absurd. If there's a vacuum in the market, do you not think there are capable technology startups in the UK that could fill it?

No.

Samsung, Huawei and Sony would fill it.

There is no UK company that has the scale to be able to deliver a competing product before those companies absorb all the available market share.
Louis Rossmann is a popular youtube creator who is a bit of a rambler, but the upside is that you can read something else while you listen to him. In the last year or so, he has done a lot of ragebait on commercial real estate and the abusive government of New York, but his original content was on right to repair, repairing mac devices, and running a small business.
It's not. Only a very small percentage (even a fraction maybe) of the people I communicate with have ever even mentioned it. It's like a thing that a few people are trying to make a thing even though it's not really a thing.
shows how deep I was into the idea of having a unified online persona

I will never understand this outlook. Why would I use the same name on more than one website? Why would I ever do anything online under my real name? I suppose it would be a benefit if you were trying to get famous and make a living off being an influencer but otherwise it's incomprehensible to me.
Some definitely don't. It's easy to end up with no experience with modern tech stacks after leaving a position. Some environments ossified years or decades ago and make it easy to bury your head in the sand once you're there.

You could spend years at a company working with internal frameworks or internal forks of old open-source projects, and when you change jobs, you realize that everyone's using React and all of your experience is with some half-baked alternative to Rails that someone at your last company cooked up in 2008.

Or you could even be a bona fide OS/360 wizard who hasn't touched anything else for the past thirty years, who suddenly finds themselves looking for a new job--not that there's zero demand for OS/360 experts, but it can be very tough to find positions.

The whole point of the patent program is to give you a boost in using the technology (to encourage you to come up with it in the first place)

A research program that only produces patents for patent trolls seems like a useless research program.

> unnecessarily long... repetitive explanation of the same topic with endless examples.

This is what I actually find most of even the best books to be. This is why I am asking (also because I believe most of the people here know what this book is about and many of them have actually read it).
Yes. At least in the construction and waste management industries bribes are very much a thing, though you will never hear that word actually spoken.

Waste management especially is mafia territory, if you don’t know the right people and make sure they get something out of your operation, you can count on getting shut down for breaking the same rules that every single one of your competitors also breaks.
Do you have any firm source for this or is this just your general belief?

Whenever I’ve done the above, I’ve both lost fat and gained muscle at the same time. And once you are at the desired waist level, you do not need to be in a calorie deficit.

I’m not 60, but I don’t know of any biological reason that leads to more fat and less muscle with age for the same calorie intake.

Leangains is the best method for combating the issue you speak of, but I’m not doing that presently other since the workout I describe everyday. Leangains is a method of cycling macronutrients: more carbs on workout days, more fat on rest days.

I don’t quite understand this argument. Can you give me a couple examples of Safari holding back major parts of web design? Or is it more obscure stuff like some webGL engine?

Because I use Safari specifically for privacy reasons and it also used to never trigger my fans to full speed just to play videos, like Chrome. I also have read that while Safari does tend to take longer, their implementations tend to be more polished. But this was more like a tweet so take that anecdata with a grain of salt.

Does Microsoft actually have a repository of permissive licensed code though?

My guess would be that some significant portion of github code published under a permissive license is actually licensed improperly.

I think it's still worthwhile. I first read it as a teenager, not long after it was published. It had a big impact, and I feel that since I read it, I've seen a lot in the culture that has referred to it, taken it for granted, regurgitated it, addressed individual topics from it, etc., but I'm not aware of anything that has replaced it as an overall introduction to the concept, which I think is due to quality of the writing. Even as a teenager I found easy and engaging.

The book Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is a different book by a different author. Read the Daniel Goleman book instead, or at least first.

> We have tons of opportunities in the UK to build a mobile firm. ARM is based here, for starters.
Unfortunately with Brexit it has become fashionable in certain quarters to 'do-down' the UK's capabilities.

The problem with building a mobile firm is that it's extremely expensive capital wise, and difficult.

There has not been an effective new entrant in the market globally in quite some time. It is not "doing the UK down" to suggest that there is no opportunity here for someone who doesn't already do high end phone manufacturing, and it's worth noting that the margins for everyone else in the mobile market are pretty crummy actually.
Out of interest, do you actually force them to follow pair programming best practice (e.g. periodic switching)? Or just put them in groups of two and let them at it?

Yeah, I use that API from the browser, I found the bulk asynchronous zero-download email API more convenient, since for a while, the save API stopped supporting HEAD requests, although it seems to support it again now.
Same here. Over the last several years I’ve become increasingly frustrated with all the people who interrupt me mid-sentence, thinking them rude, only to realize I was creating natural openings for them. I’ve been working on making my sentences shorter and qualifying them later as needed.
That's fair. I have never met anyone that enjoyed this or wants it to continue.

It’s Not Always iCache
I've recently been focusing on self hosting what I can, and while looking for a simple straightforward, federated blogging platform I came across this and Plume as options. After a lot of effort trying to install Plume, I tried Writefreely and had just as many issues. I persevered and made a PR or two to try minorly improve the self hosting setup with my limited skills but it was a heavy amount of work compared to many other self hosted platforms.

I never managed to get federation working (which I presume is down to a misconfiguration on my part), images not being hostable seems like a bizarre feature to leave out as they are present on almost all blogs, and most recently I really dislike the thought process behind the micropayments from their blog about six months ago [0]. I would also echo what x4e said in their comment [1].

I stand corrected on any of these issues as I am very inexperienced with self hosting and it was about a year ago and projects do change, but from my experience, Writefreely wasn't what it said on the tin.

Yep, I don't know why my first thought was that malicious actors could just bypass this by using external HTTP clients (like curl) when in fact this spec is meant to augment CORS: browsers _will_ send these headers to the server and the server can choose to honour them or not (well, in the CORS case the browser will block the request if the response headers are incorrect).

It's defense in depth :D
IT-Backed Authoritarianism
well sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. The question is what are the odds. I don't think Deepmind has the answer to this question.
The "ethics" in tech are often wrt the actions if tech companies - in this case it is the actions (communications) of tech customers (or users) and the attempts to restrict certain types of communication.

The proper desktop version requires an office license. It then is "gratis" on top of the cost you already paid for office.

> I’m forced to waste my time doing the teacher’s job teaching simple concepts instead of learning anything new myself

IMO you can't say you really understand a thing until you've taught it to someone else. Your teachers gave you the opportunity to hone your own teaching skill, something you will use your entire CS career. Just wait until you are a senior dev holding the hand of someone more junior than you. If you think there is a skill gap between you and your peer in the same class, imagine the experience gap between you and someone 20 years younger than you.
