To use an example from the parent post, local, cyclist spin trainers are losing, since people are simply using the Pelaton trainers at home, rather than going to an "in person" spin class. The local, small time trainer can't compete with a celebrity/model trainer. Similar to how TV and movies hurt local theatres. In the end, it is more efficient, but there are "losers".

A lot of scheduling APIs use the syntax. Most of my favorite ones for that matter because the Cron syntax is quite awesome.

A bit error prone perhaps, but that is why you have crontab.guru.
Whenever somebody says "I don't care because I have nothing to hide", I ask how they'd feel if I secretly filmed them while they brushed their teeth in the morning. I usually get a long pause after saying that.

Snowden is a hero. It's terrifying how we all just shrugged our shoulders and demanded 0 accountability from the government. That was back in (2013?) and I'm sure that the survelance tools are leagues beyond what they had back then, and google/facebook/twitter are even more complicit than before.

Hell, people are begging for vaccine passports now, which would exclude people by default from society.

I can't stomach the science "journalism" here. Most of the statements about the research is that studies "found" the chemicals here or there. Ok, I can "find" various sources of cancer-related radiation in my sock drawer. Particularly annoying:

"It found particularly high levels in several kindergarten classrooms and also checked the supply room of an outdoor clothing store, offices, several university classrooms, university labs and an elevator."

Thank goodness we the public have the crucial information that the study checked these places.
I suspect being kicked in the head once is going to do a lot more damage than being punched 20 times personally.

I’d say the first two things you listed fall under “slight refresh to the desktop environment”, but, yea… forgot about the Android emulation. That’s pretty cool. And the last couple of things you mentioned are certainly welcome improvements.
> People often mistakenly think that if the price of a good is opaque, then the good must not have a price. This is incorrect. What's more, if you believe it, then you're almost certainly getting over-charged. And very unfortunately, this mistake tends to be most common among less sophisticated folks — who are the very folks that rationing was intended to protect in the first place.

Note that this is one of the problems in the US too. Health care prices are pretty opaque, it definitely has a price - which you'll find out after you get something done, and I would argue people get overcharged - evidenced by the fact that insurance companies can come in and slash the bill to a fraction of what it was (literally saying "you aren't allowed to charge this much").
Can you please tell me the best route to getting one of these tests?

My situation is ruining my life.
Could you clarify which part of the comment qualifies as a "flamewar", so I can avoid doing so in the future? Is it simply the editorializing about being "revolting and dehumanizing", or is there an issue with the semantic content of the comment?

I'm not asking this to be difficult, but just want to understand where the bounds here are. I don't have any interest into getting drawn into irrelevant culture-warring, but discussion of society's downplaying of female abusers seems centrally relevant to a thread entitled "Boys in Custody and the Women Who Abuse Them".
A city is literally the worst place for wind. High property values, low tolerance for visual blight and noise, expensive work forces for maintenance, difficult to access.. you want wind in places like farms, where land and labor are cheap, access is easy, and nobody is going to complain about the noise.
This isn't true. You can use GNAT (part of GCC) from the Free Software Foundation for free. I've worked in Ada for months without paying anyone anything.

Complaining to the Pope is not equivalent to taking the further enormous leap of breaking away from the Catholic Church.

I don't know the history and would love for someone to fill me in, but I'm just not convinced that you are right to downplay Luther's role.
Would forcing Apple to make everything required to run linux on Apple hardware available to all devs be fine then? Just to keep things fair and allow for competitors and such. Maybe force all hardware manufacturers to allow OS selection when doing a factory reset?
Libraries? I'm allowed to use them without selling/distributing as long as they are critical to run the hardware that I paid for(as long as they are only used for said device). Copyrighting/blocking people from reverse engineering any piece of code that is needed for hardware to function should be illegal in the first place.

Edit: A few typos and such.
"HEPA filters capture pollen, dirt, dust, moisture, bacteria (0.2-2.0 μm), virus (0.02-0.3 μm), and submicron liquid aerosol (0.02-0.5 μm).[8][9][10] Some microorganisms, for example, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis are captured by HEPA filters with photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). HEPA is also able to capture some viruses and bacteria which are ≤0.3 μm."

"Eleven particle-size-segregated samples were taken to investigate the particle-size distribution of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) using two five stage impactors in parallel. ... Particle-size distribution varied between perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and other perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs), perfluorooctane carboxylate (PFOA) and other perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and n-methyl-perfluorooctanesulfonamido ethanol (MeFOSE). Whereas PFOA and MeFOSE were predominantly observed in smallest size fraction (<0.14 μm), maximum PFOS mass fractions were observed in the coarser size fractions between 1.38 and 3.81 μm."

The real money ends up being in the power storage. Obviously there's such a thing as 'night' and multiple days without full sun (or snow on your roof depending on the area).

I wonder how many electric F-150s will get sold to people on the basis of using them as a whole-house battery.

I fully agree on your point of the lack of logic to grid-based solar. No doubt large scale facilities can be placed in better areas, be cheaper per watt, have higher uptime, are able to afford the more exotic power storage (dams for one).

Now, if it were me, I'd start with new construction designed around low power usage. LED lighting, efficient computers, chest freezer turned into a refrigerator, no electric heat or dryers or transfer fans for gas heaters. The sticking point would tend to be A/C but I think that can be mitigated via small house size, insulation, and use of efficient split systems. The smaller the electricity use the more tractable the problem.

The economics of FOSS and its sociology can reinforce each other, and that's where the true benefit lies. Throwing the code at the wall to see if its sticks and if it does, then expecting it pay one's bills isn't what FOSS is about, unfortunately.

a Reasonable Person would understand the principle is a guideline for behavior within a community, and your judgement as a person is still required.

Abusive behavior is different from a disagreement between paths forward on a research project, for example, where working it out with peers is better than escalating it up the chain. During disagreements assume the other party is also a Reasonable Person vs. assuming ill will until proven otherwise.

There may be power dynamics, and this doesn't change those. A person in power can be a bad actor with or without these guidelines. Taking the extreme that this helps those in power be bad actors requires more evidence, as it assumes people will blindly follow this even when the other party is obviously not a Reasonable Person.
My takeaways:

1. Open the windows as often as weather allows.

2. Don't use nonstick pans unless they're cast iron or some kind of fired enamel.

3. Use a water purifier.
Arguably, some level of modularity is good anyway and that's been the general trend. And a lot of software, perhaps especially large open source projects, are developed by a fairly distributed set of individuals and teams already.
I am fine with guesstimates for likelihood and severity, but the product doesn't make sense. When two guesstimates are multiplied like that, you choose the terms to give the product you want, or vice versa. The concept of trying to do a distillation of a risk assessment to a number is flawed.
"and as these become much more user-hostile, transparency and openness is needed more than ever."

Yeah, I agree to that.

Which is why I do not agree to a statement, that a new and open OS will hurt humanity, because it does not have the same restrictive licence, you would prefer.

If anything, this melodramatic mindset is really hurting the struggle to really own your hardware

Secondly, to really own your device, we need open hardware anyway. Everything else is a weak compromise.
That's not ironing. It's a fabric massage.

Seems doubtful that the patron actually believed that people praying for him would help him in the afterlife.

I think the point in the space Glean hits well is efficiency/latency (enough to power real time editing, like in IDE autocomplete or navigation), while having a schema and query language generic enough to do multiple languages and code-like things. You can accurately query JavaScript or Rust or PHP or Python or C++ with a common interface, which is a bit nuts :D
Holding a knife and moving your hand back and forth is not killing someone, either, but my omission of a few important details is the deception. In this case, the something being added to the HTML spec is a new standard that they are creating. I'm not going to argue whether anyone asked for it, but "nobody" is obviously hyperbole; Apple is asking for it.
Working parents in the US have definitely benefited from the flexibility that comes with remote work as well.

the pre-AC prices are already in equilibrium. mandating AC increases the cost of supplying housing, so it disturbs that equilibrium. who actually absorbs that increased cost depends on the elasticity of demand. for highly elastic goods, the producer/seller loses more of their surplus (ie, they cover most of the cost increase). but with a highly inelastic good like housing in a desirable location, it is much more likely that the consumer covers the larger part of the cost increase.

this is basically equivalent to the effect of elasticity on tax incidence. you can view the cost of AC or forgone rent from rent control as a sort of tax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand#Eff...

another good example of an inelastic good is gas. people who commute can't easily change the amount of fuel they consume. if the gas tax goes up, or a barrel of oil becomes more expensive, your local gas station doesn't just make it up from their margin. they increase their prices, regardless of how accustomed people were to the previous price.

tl;dr: the fact that a landlord can charge more after being forced to install AC does not imply that they could have just increased rent in the first place if they weren't so stupid.
Yes, good guess! That's the size we have after deduplication across projects at https://www.softwareheritage.org/ . We archive all the source code we can find; and would like to support some sort of full-text search on it at some point, so Glean looks interesting

It's unfortunate that few here will have used M2 in a commercial setting. Well crafted M2 code led to feelings of deep satisfaction. It was like codification of quality.
Subsidies are in place to solve the chicken/egg problem of inducing demand and creating a new market. If solar panels are getting cheaper then subsidies should start to go away once targets are met. BTW, I still feel we're far away from withdrawing subsidies. Until we get below $1000/kw its still too steep for most homeowners. Currently, Florida is $2600/kw.

I (London residing) find that quite hard to believe.

Unless you mean TC which includes share-options "valued at" £200K+ (but likely will barely get £50k when vested after 5 years of active tenure.)

A good salary for principal engineers in London is upto £120k, but can be from half that. There are exceptional cases of higher. Highest I have personal confirmation of is £150k (a friend.)

Across all of engineering, the mean average salary at Google is £66k according to glassdoor, and that's known to be embellished.
Ha.

This is extremely easy to believe.
If I wanted to say that, I would. Clearly I failed at getting my point across.

Out of curiosity, who do you think "us" is in this case?

ie "What they say doesn't matter because it's to serve motive X"

Using a label to dismiss all messaging of an actor (abstract), as it suits an agenda, is the defining characteristic of "cancel culture".

This is generally a precursor to a bandwagon/snowball to de-platform the individual. This happens when a portion of individuals begin picking a side by taking action, sometimes out of caution. ie The proactive individuals don't want to face the possibility of similar behavior within a social network.

Adblock is like having a bodyguard running ahead of you, making sure the neighbourhood is still safe to walk, just in case someone shady moved in. Added bonus is he drags you along on a rope so you can move faster and bring more groceries from the store.

Adblock makes my slow computer and phone bareable to use on "modern" homepages. Without them the load times multiplies.

Much of what Joel says here - especially the conclusion at the end - is also mirrored in what Steve Jobs said when confronted over shutting down OpenDoc: "You have to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology.

I am sorry but I have a follow up question maybe you are able to elaborate as you mentioned: "There's religious pluralism in Germany"

Scientology has an IRS tax exemption in the US as another religion, but it seems in Germany the state has made their life quite difficult. Does German law provides for a clear specification of how to define a religion?
What percentage of these people do you think do this and then DON'T post an image / video of it somewhere to get views? I would guess it rounds down to 0%.

Reasons and Ways to Improve Code Quality
It often feels to me like the more recent brand of this behavior is something like perfectly valid study of social phenomenon (revolving around social justice at this point) on a macro level where it makes sense .... then taken by some to use on a micro level with individuals where it stops making sense.

Obama had a speech where he noted the futility of talking to someone about their privilege ... when that person as far as they're concerned has had a hard life and everything stacked against them. And maybe that person is right, they did have a hard life / quite the opposite of privilege.

The macro study and ideas aren't wrong, but they don't work at a micro level.

The same extends now to phrases / patterns or any indicators at a macro level we associate with injustice ... and folks take them out like a guy with only a hammer to use and apply them to groups and individuals at a micro level that stops making sense.

A family member of mine is a teacher. They recently had a big discussion about how minority students (a specific minority actually) were more likely to be assigned to special ed services. Some folks identified this as troubling behavior as it was seen as a path where students would be stereotyped or other undesirable things might happen because of it.

The teachers listened to the concerns and presentation by some groups... but they're left wondering what to do when the 4th of 10 students who is this minority comes in to be evaluated and clearly needs help ...

On a macro and even historical level the concerns are valid and sometimes special ed in the past was used poorly. On a micro level now what do these teachers do with kids who need help?

Applying these concepts on a micro level without understanding the individual / individual situation isn't justice...

First, there are people who attempt to have discourse on important subjects on Twitter. Whether you think that is silly is irrelevant.

Second, the point is that /any/ comment made or repeated by someone on Twitter, if found to be improper by some standard by some mob, can hurt you in all walks of life, so people keep quiet everywhere, lest they be "retweeted" out of context.

That's not actually what I'm trying to say, and I certainly never said anything about doing a job that you hate. Many people today seem to hold the view that they ought to find some sort of passionate self-actualizing experience from the work they do, which is an extremely limiting belief that also does a lot of mental damage to people who either a) can't get a job doing what they love b) get their dream job and realize they don't actually love it. Neither situation a) nor b) is actually a problem unless you hold a belief that if you're not doing what you love, something's wrong with your life.

Doing "what you love" ought to be a perk for the lucky, not a basic requirement for employment. People need to try to do what they're good at that others find valuable; caring whether or not you "love it" or find it "fulfilling" is a luxury. The time to expect to love life is when you are with your family and your friends, not when you're at work. Nearly anyone who thinks that a job can give a fraction of the satisfaction that raising a family or spending time in their community is in for a world of hurt. There are certainly some exceptions, but if you travel around the world to hospice centers and ask people what they regret, very few say "I wish I'd worked more".

If you can find a job you love, certainly do that, but don't hold the expectation that if you can't find a job that you love, something is wrong with your life. A tolerable job that allows you to make an impact on people close to you outside of work is perfectly acceptable, and a lot easier to find than something that you feel defines you that you're passionate about.

No, when there is any housing shortage it is a matter of empirical fact that landlords select on the income prospective renters can prove.
I consider it another mistake to expect any alternatives to be fully formed (or well described) and complete in any sense.

The current capitalist-market does some things pretty well, but it was not ever described as a system until after it was already working in practice.

(I'd go as far as saying that there's no great accepted explanation of what it does well and how it does it so well).
I was really hoping that we were past having to think about different versions of Windows. Microsoft hyped Windows 10 as the 'last version of Windows' and that's how it should be. But now we have to go through this stupid cycle again, wasting user and IT department time doing upgrades, as well as developer time worrying about version support.
