Meanwhile, nearly every possible vegetable and fruit is wrapped in plastic when bought at a supermarket in Switzerland. It’s infuriating. They have their own skin and are sold by weight. Why do we need to wrap them in plastic??
At least for fruits an vegetables most things at Billa and Spar are individual items you have to pick yourself and they strongly discourage those plastic bags.
That's, unfortunately, not the case for literally every other item in their stores tho
I honestly doubt the current U.S. administration would do anything if say, Denmark started internal inquiries about whether their politicians' decision to participate invade Iraq was made on false grounds. If they did, the EU would probably not be happy about trade sanctions.

Denmark was obviously just an example, but there are a lot of U.S. allies, trading partners and so on, that all have assisted or participated in the war on terror.

Besides, the Democrats could probably just blame it on Bush anyway.
In central Europe we weight our Vegs and fruits ourselfs and apply a bar code to whatever bag in the majority of super markets.

I sometimes collect these codes on my hand and just put all the Vegs in a cloth bag.

The vaccine was approved by the FDA, they did their part making sure it was safe. 100% certainty is impossible, and people should not be held liable to that.

Here, they pulled off their product off not because it was shown to be unsafe but because it was unprofitable. Due to the controversy, it was a tough sell, and lawsuits are costly no matter if you are right or wrong.

The only way to have express and stopping trains on the same track is to have frequent passing places. Scheduling and signalling get fiendishly complex. On somewhere like the underground, where building those extra passing places is really hard it just isn't worth it.

This is one of the big missunderstandings about the HS2 line. Politicians focus on the shorter journey times, but the big win is actually increased capacity. HS2 will take the express trains off the normal line. With just HS trains on that line you can run more of them than you can if you have stopping trains sharing the track. In addition you should actually be able to run more stopping trains faster since they don't need to be fitted in around the expresses with no extended stops waiting for a delayed express to pass at a station or passing place.

"Equanimity" is also a practice (it's been mentioned up-comments). It doesn't mean "calmness" or "imperturbability", in this context.

One form of the practice would be to consider those to whom you feel most warmly, and reflect that in previous lives they might have murdered you. And to consider those you hate, and reflect that in a future life, they might be your mother. This is supposed to reduce attachment and aversion.

(That formulation depends on the idea of rebirth, but I'm sure formulations exist that don't depend on metaphysical speculations)

There is a whole bunch of practices that are supposed to work together with mindfulness. Getting the balance wrong can lead to depression, panic attacks and other disturbances.

> Personal mindfulness is not and never has been the basis for anything other than self-aggrandizement.

Well, that's an opinion, rather strongly expressed, but without evidence. I happen to disagree; like you, I decline to present evidence.
This.

I live and work in Paris proper, which is a very dense city. Transit sucks, my commute is around 45 minutes each way. Bonus points for when I have to take it in rush hour, with people pressed together and no air conditioning. Extra bonus points for the habitual breakdowns, meaning even more people per train.

Also, high density with "historic city" means very small apartments and very high prices. I really don't know how much better this is compared to US-style suburbia. Oh, we don't have clean air either, all the highways and city roads are congested, too.
is there direct support for websockets? channels or something?
> Mindfulness' is nothing but egotism

Eh, I think this is reading too much into it. Mindfulness is merely a training in relaxing and finessing of our rigid egoic framing and thus be able to generate more insights. It is egocentric in the sense of being a training on the ego function but the telos is actually breaking out of default egocentricity.

It is the culture of narcissism that turns this into a tool of spiritual bypass and optimizing one’s own detached wellbeing. It uses mindfulness as an emotional regulation tool, not a frame expanding education in preparation to other practices.

Don’t get me wrong, everything you point out as missing is accurate, it is just it was never mindfulness’s burden to bear alone as it’s nothing but a single practice to be done in the context of Buddha, dharma and sangha.

I actually think it's quite cool as an example of lateral thinking, which is exploratory in nature. It was not a proposed "solution".
I think it has three reasons:

The more often a construct is used in a language, the shorter I like it to be.

It groups variable definitions mentally by having them all the same length if they are "var", "let" and "con".

It would often make the code look more uniform which is more beautiful in my eyes. Example:

https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/cae635054e17a6f107a39...

I would prefer the lines 226 and 227 to start with "con" and "let". It would make the code visually more appealing to me.

This reminds me of a conference that John Carmack gave (in 2019?) where he goes over how [the occulus team] got input latency down to a manageable amount on modern hardware.

It's an interesting data point that both these efforts to produce "magic" required an in-depth "rethinking" of many of the underlying stack layers.

It was more an expression of frustration that what we did in the US was economically, psychologically, and socially destructive while not maximizing the possible benefit.

I don’t know if the hill on the right or the one on the left had a higher peak, but it sure does seem like we managed to wade through the river in the valley in the middle.

“Don’t let some businesses be open, but let some of their competitors stay open, wear a T-shirt over your mouth, and gather in groups of not more than six before dispersing to forage for food in the supermarkets as often as you like.” How could that possibly fail to contain a contagious disease?
This may be the case in Australia, but it's very much not in the US. Pay-at-pump is ubiquitous. Barring outliers like Oregon, people are not used to having to interact with another person or walk away from their cars in the process of filling up their tanks. Gas stations do tend to have colocated convenience stores, but going in one is an optional part of the experience.
> You think fiscally sovereign nations need to borrow in their own currency

No, it can be quite beneficial. However, it’s more dangerous to borrow in foreign currency because exchange rates are outside of complete government control.

> You think government spending necessarily precipitates a currency crisis

No, the inability to borrow in their own currency is one possibility. Bad monetary policy is another, losing a war for existence is another.
Regardless of the rate, the absolute number is staggeringly high. As you said, Israel has 303 fully vaccinated people hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19. Adjusting for population, that's the equivalent of the US having 10,700 fully vaccinated people hospitalized at any one point, and that's just for critical and severe cases. If they all need ICU beds, that's like having 10 to 20% of America's ICU beds permanently occupied by Covid patients. It's still much better than the case without vaccines, but if these numbers are true, there is a lot of cause for concern.

That was due to social distancing and lockdowns, not masks.

As a US new england-er, this is game changer for walking through woods.

For those un-informed, on a walk through any woods, you should always wear high socks, and do a full body check for ticks after.

Deer ticks can be as small as a few grains of sand, and near undetectable if they latch on unless you have sharp eyes.

Obviously they can transmit lymes.

I had a close encounter a few years ago, but very luckily giant rings appeared around the bite site, making it a very easy diagnosis.

That only happens in 30% of cases though. The rest likely have no idea, and over time the disease will work it's way into your nervous system, causing permanent damage if not treated quickly enough.

> are written off as a result of dharma

Dhamma is generally understood as teaching or nature. Kamma, (often mixed up with karma, a Hindu notion that is close in some aspects, but really not the same) is, in simple terms, cause and effect with respect to an individual. All injustices are a result of cause and effect (at least, I hope you think so) but where I will agree is that it shouldn't be the basis for doing nothing - unless doing nothing is the best choice, and knowing that is the trick, isn't it, Buddhist insight or not.

> Buddhism just abstracts reality into something slightly more palatable that doesn't require as much action on your part.

I can't say that's a good summation of what Buddhism is or does, it might be best to get the basics right (the terms above are a good indication) and then move on to telling others what you think a system is for, or its impact on society… I don't remember Buddha promising a societal utopia but perhaps my memory is deceiving me.

Respiratory viruses peak earlier before Winter in the tropics (ie. the South USA) whereas they peak during the Winter in the North.

Southern USA will peak and fall, and then this Winter you'll see the same thing in the Northern USA. Its just the seasonality of colds/flus which has been known for decades.

Be prepared because this Winter seasonal peak will be blamed on a new 'variant', and used to push either new lockdowns/restrictions, or booster shots.
I second that. Very good solution for self-hosting.
For "pure unsubstantiated Apple bashing" that article is very modest though. macOS updates haven't failed for me so far, but I still notice a general decline in system software quality on macOS in the last 3..5 years, if the next OS update would fail for me, assuming that this is just another sign of a slow but steady decline would be very natural.

That might be true if you focus on honeybees; but e.g. bumblebees only have 20 to 200 animals per colony and are also the much better pollinators than honey bees; bumblebees also work in bad weather and collect on more plant types (many agricultural plants such as tomatoes are pollinated only by bumblebees); and honeybees - unlike bumblebees - usually have someone to take care of them and pour sugar water when they don't have enough to eat. So you may very well make a difference if the bumblebees find useful flowers in your garden at a time when everything else is mowed down.

I think you'd agree that putting QR codes on signs is cheaper and less intrusive than replacing them with radio beacons.
And of course the obvious problem of how you would keep the signing key private over time. Road signs are made by many companies working for every level of government from the national level down to individual municipalities. Centralise the generation of QR-codes?

Great single point of failure there, and now any sign placed temporarily because of unforeseen events (flooding, bridge collapse, etc.) won't be acknowledged by the autonomous car because it lacks a valid QR-code.

Ukraine is poor. It is corrupted. Its population is declining.
It has a chance still: there is a social demand for a different lifestyle and organisation of the state, which eventually will solve many problems Ukraine has and will make it a place not worse that any other East-European country. Now it's on the way of building democracy and it may fail without help, unfortunately.
What we need from the West is constant pressure on our establishment to setup effective institutions, especially in the anti-corruption domain.

Am I growing old or have AAA games (the ones not multiplayer focused) become too long?

I recently finished Ghost of Tsushima. Brilliant, but if you ask me it would have been about as fun even at 1/3 of the length.

How about instead of padding a game with more of the same just to add length you make it shorter and reduce development costs? Probably not linearly, but still significantly.
> The requirements from the post are arbitrary and could (should) be anything that best-illustrates the thesis of the post

The post is showing how using more expressive types can simplify your code through a very simple example. You started out saying the NonEmpty type is unnecessary and now you're complaining it's not complicated enough, so it's not clear what your actual objection is here.

> The function in my example does statically define that the returned list is non-empty

The type given in your example was

getConfDirs :: Maybe [FilePath]

this is inhabited by (Just []) so no it doesn't statically guarantee that.

> A "parser" would maybe return the non-empty list if parsing was successful

That's exactly what the nonEmpty function in the post does:

nonEmpty :: [a] -> Maybe (NonEmpty a)

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. Testing for lyme really is pretty unreliable. Given how hard it is to reliably test for, we really don't have a good grasp on how prevalent lyme infections are.

Another thing that would great, in addition to a vaccine and better testing, is prevention. Infected ticks are way more wide spread than they used to be. I've heard various reasons for this, including habitat loss of all kinds of animals. Simple measures can help, like eating more deer, or letting chickens roam free in high-tick areas.
> Where the situation complicates is once 'web development culture' is brought into the picture—and I think that's an interesting topic in itself—but it's separate from attributes inherent in Electron.

Fair enough. Myself, I mentally conflate the two - and I suppose so are most of the people criticizing Electron. This position is not without its merit, though: one of the main selling points of Electron is that you can leverage all the libraries developed for the Web.

It's the same thing as with regular web apps - modern browsers are amazingly fast, and you can create snappy experiences with vanilla JS and enough elbow grease. But people naturally reach for modern frameworks - and that very decision is what usually kills snappiness at the spot.
