Imagine your marketing department needs to create a list of websites that have run their PR campaign. They can keep that data in Airtable or Google Sheets.

The developer then displays on a simple webpage in a card like https://nomadlist.com

There are sites like https://sheet2site.com & https://table2site.com that automate this feature.

You can also create custom apps with it. https://pory.io/ automates it.
I think you might have missed the word "especially" before "prepared" in the post you're replying to. The language is also a bit ambiguous (see below).

It's well known that guest are (usually) prepared (by the show!) in the sense that they at the very least have a general idea of the major points of conversation, but having a full list of all the exact questions, etc. is quite a bit rarer (AFAIK, at least).

Regardless, the parent poster could also have meant that the guests themselves(!) do very little preparation with the information they get from the show. The amount of preparation by the guest would probably depend heavily on the agent, the contentiousness of the questions that they know about, how high the stakes are (e.g. first ever interview on Colbert for an up-and-comer?), etc. etc.
@gwd you are correct vmm is a better fit. I'll update the repo thanks for the feedback :)
It really depends on how the system is deployed.

For a web service, the cost might be almost identical, except reputation damage, which is impossible to properly quantify.

For a game, where almost everyone plays it on launch, if it has too many bugs, the product might be sunk, or it might be a rolling update with minor extra cost of compatibility.

For embedded firmware... Well...
You might never really get it fixed, as not everyone will upgrade.

For mission critical software, it can literally kill people or destroy hardware, or cause huge costs.
I think the poster was making the subtler point that while average performance will be good, that might be heavily weighted towards those living in urban centres.

If some outlying customers switch to partial or full self sufficiency, then a utility "death spiral" can occur as they increase prices on the remaining customers in the area.

Two responses to this are:

Legally force people to stay connected and pay for the grid

These are problems coming from single entities trying to retroactively predict outrage. There is no grassroots activists trying to change white/black in chess. There was no grassroots actvists trying to change master/slave - it came from inside github.

Yes, given the headline I expected a coordinated attack that wiped out an entire group of gorillas, not a couple of skirmishes. Chimpanzees will attack humans, including eating human children. I don't see why small encounters that result in one or two deaths would be totally unexpected.

>”if you just want to talk about knitting, you can avoid the people talking about politics.”

I don’t find this to be the case at all. The amount of politics tolerated in each subreddit is almost entirely dependent on the personalities of the mods who run it. And for whatever reason, most Reddit mods tend to be activist friendly or at least look the other way when it comes to obvious soapbox accounts breaking the rules.

In my experience most subreddits choose to flair political posts rather than prohibit them.

Yeah, grep in Rust was probably a bad example. I do actually use some replacement command line tools that are written in Rust :) I think you get what I mean though. Maybe an HTTP stack would have been a better example. Like, people finding fairly trivial excuses to get a language in front of people.

Our company just switched from Symantec to Windows Defender and so far I'm very pleased. On my Windows laptop the fans were running more or less all the time when we had Symantec. With Defender the computer is nearly dead silent.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you, I think that putting the horrible piece of shit antivirus software on enterprise boxes is a cover-your-ass tactic. It's required from IT depts to be able to say they followed industry standard practices and did their due diligence to prevent threats, regardless of whether those have any useful, practical effects at all.

My wife has a brand new corp issued Carbon X1 and I can hear it routinely spin fans 100% because of Norton FuckYourCPUandIO (tm) software doing nothing of use besides inducing anger.

Snowcrash by Stephenson uses the concepts of the bicameral mind heavily (he mentions it in the opening acknowledgements), and China Miéville has a novel called Embassytown https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassytown that doesn't cite that work specifically but feels like a similar exploration along with understandings of simile vs metaphor in the development of language/consciousness.

Real case - shops have "terminals" installed on site, various physical locations. Some of them have networking glitches 1-2 times a month on average, usually lasting a couple of minutes.

I don't want to have to restart the whole thing on each site every time it happens. I'd like a deployment/orchestration system that can work in such scenarios, showing a node as unreachable but then back online when it gets network back.

Who decides what "notable" is? I frequently use the Archive to find old academic grey lit (preprints, lecture notes, newsgroup posts, etc.). Much of it is on "random" blog posts and personal websites. Even the authors aren't usually notable by Wikipedia standards. Yeah, there is some PII on those pages, but also treasures of useful information.

The result of successful propaganda and tech protectionism is that not that many regular people in China, apart from the “techies”, even desire to access the outside Internet. And, of course, paying for any related service or product means leaving an identifying trace, which is a recipe to being noticed—you don’t want your social karma to tank because you decided to access information not approved by the party.
You'll get answers on every which side. I think they'll tell you less of a perfect "DO THIS" answer that'll work in every situation, and more showcase that there are different employers and different hiring agents supporting different teams and different cultures.

You seem excited about your projects, eager to talk about them, and you seem like you'd implicitly like some recognition/appreciation of them & to have a supportive employer. So my personal, not professional advice, if you have luxury to do so, is to include them and use them as a filter of your employers.

Unless an employee is in urgent dire straits, interview should be a two-way process - not just employer reviewing employee but other way around too (when I interview potential team members, I try to spend at least a third time if not more about the work, team, company, culture, expectations, honest up and downsides, so they can make an intelligent choice if we are a good fit too).

While I am actually currently practically in a camp that doesn't hugely care about people's side projects due to nature of what my team does, if you have something that's important to you, make it part of interview and figure out if the employer/team is the one you'd like to join.
The point is to avoid lawsuits not wildfires.
General availability of food as a driver of obesity is a false premise IMO.

It does not explain a lot of countries where food had been available for well over half a century in any quantity you wanted and yet people don't have problem with obesity.

Saying these countries are somehow "special" because of their cuisine or tradition seems like admitting that something else rather than availability of food is an important influence.

Also one other interesting point is that not all countries see increasing obesity. For example, Canada has not seen significant increase in overweight and obesity since at least early 90s while US seen its rates double during that time.

I don't think anybody will say that food is scarce in Canada.
Many urban areas in the USA have buried power lines. I moved last year from Bellevue WA to Ballard in Seattle WA, one of the first things I noticed in my new home are all the power lines around us (they are mostly buried in Bellevue and much of the east side). Fairly sure the Bay Area is roughly the same (Palo Alto must right?), but I don’t have any anecdotes to go on.

The book is 45 years old now. How well have the ideas in it aged?
I'm curious if there's good data on what constitutes a "sedentary lifestyle" over time. In the early 1900s, I suspect people with desk jobs had a lot of small activity over the course of the day that we can now avoid. I take an elevator, drive for errands, and look up just about anything without leaving my desk. I don't even have to cross the room to turn on the modern equivalent of the radio. I don't have to get anything from a filing cabinet except for perhaps a few times a year. Is that the same as "sedentary" of old?
The speech police didn't do anything. I stopped using those terms because they're not descriptive.
You gamble with how many points you have left. Let's say each player starts with 40 points (most games take about 40 moves). You spend anywhere from 0 to however many points you have left to move a piece. If it's early on and there's no chance of conflict, bet 0. If it's an important piece in a crowd, spend more. If there's a conflict, whoever spent more wins that spot.

It might add an element of subterfuge to the game.

Richard Bartle, who co-created MUD1 (the first Multi User Dungeon) at the PDP-10 at Essex University in 1978, wrote a book called "Designing Virtual Worlds" in 2003, and has written more recent books with longer elaborate titles, like:

"MMOs from the Outside In: The Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games of Psychology, Law, Government, and Real Life"

and:

"MMOs from the Inside Out: The History, Design, Fun, and Art of Massively-multiplayer Online Role-playing Games"

Obviously this depends on context, as others have stated. One other factor should be the effort of test deployment. If it is very easy to test and deploy then it is not 100x. And may even be less than 1x in certain cases when you can’t test something but your users can. Whether or not you care about the bug surfacing is a different story. Context, people.
For good moderation, the moderators have to care about their work. This is a hard problem in life in general - people tend to care on things that affect them directly, or as a part of their value system. In small groups it's easy to find organic caring.

We've scaled up civilization by replacing the need for organic care with money. The need for money provides the "affects them directly" part[0], and job requirements provide the "value system" part. Unfortunately, having people do the work for money, instead of for the output of their work, introduces all kinds of well-known problems that plague us.

All this means that, to provide good moderation for a community, you have to either:

- Find moderators within the community, who already care about its health, or

- find people within the community who care about it and have money, to draft moderation standards, hire paid moderators to enforce those standards, and then police the moderators so that they're actually doing their jobs properly.

I think very large communities can work only if they're applying either method #2, or become subdivided into small enough sub-communities that method #1 can be applied.

(There's also a third method: start a religion. It's the other tried and true method of maintaining a system of values in a society. But it's tricky to pull off, and stops working when the group grows too large.)

> Life is duller when its completely curated.

A newspaper is the very definition of “completely curated”. There are entire, multiple positions devoted to the physical prioritization, and design and layout of content, including the precise wording of headlines that fit the space and gel with the surrounding context.

It’s why imho a newspaper is very much worth reading, because its production is so much less cost efficient than any website or social media
A 10x Developer Story
Neither of both. It's completely irrelevant, as you cannot and may not use it. You cannot use it for production code as it's merely a toy for managers.

And you may not use it as the license of the generated code is unclear at best, GPL at worst.
The biggest effect will be that they won’t have to trigger blackouts during high winds to prevent downed lines from starting forest fires. For those in the affected area, that’s a big deal.

But if CA wants to reduce these fires, they desperately need to catch back up on their controlled burns. A combination of low brush fire for decades (not forest fire!) and changing environment has built up an extremely dangerous backlog of fuel that makes CA specifically and the PNW in general a massive fire risk. Short of fixing global warming and moving everyone away from the interface between nature and city, the only solution is to burn up all that fuel in a controlled way.
SPARC is great, but I'm under the impression that a gen 1 DT MCF reactor will almost certainly need to be a stellarator to work around the engineering challenges and pulsed nature of tokamaks. Optimization, HTS magnets, and clever coil winding enable them. Tokamaks are easier so SPARC should certainly be made to make its splash.

The real problem is that DoE's Office of Science is relatively reducing funding of Fusion Energy Science. It's barely enough to meet the US' ITER contribution. The very few existing projects are running on fumes. No one in the US is making a machine and hasn't been for over a decade.

I'd argue reddit is more of an amplified hive mind of the communities that use the internet, of which some become toxic due to ineffective moderation policies or squelching of dissent.

The elephant in the room is that large subreddits tend to avoid deep analysis if it disagrees with the hive mind, and cross-brigading from smaller subreddits happens all the time. Add influence peddling by sovereign states to that.

I'd say it is an engineering truism, gleaned from experience with designing and building physical things, that has been adopted by the software community.

The way I originally heard it was that problems are 1 x harder to fix during design, 10x harder during prototype and 100x during production. It's about orders of magnitude rather than the numbers. Another way of putting it is: problems get harder to fix the later you detect them.
Correct.
