Unfortunately in my country even landline phone lines don't work on power outages, since with the transition to digital only lines (with VDSL) is the router that inside has an ATA to which you connect your landline phone. In fact you have VOIP phone service at your house (in fact you can avoid completely to connect your phone to the router phone socket and use whatever VOIP phone you want, with the correct settings extracted from the provider router).

Even if you provide backup power to the router is not enough, since at the other end, VDSL cabinets in the street, there is no backup power, so if it's not a blackout of only your house but it insist the local transformer, the VDSL cabinet is probably out of power too and thus no line.

The only reliable solution is 4G that is not so reliable since in case of emergency lines get overloaded.

I probably should get an ham radio license to be safe...

It wouldn't take much to significantly improve things. We don't even have full-text search for paywalled articles. The paid search engines like Web of Science just do title, keywords, and abstract. Even considering the subset of open access articles, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar do ok but don't offer much in the way of search refinement (e.g., "DTAF" NEAR "collagen"). They're good at finding _something_ related to your query but not good for systematic review.
I had a Dutch "OV Jaarkaart", a pass which is valid in all forms of public transport in the whole country, at any time. No reserved seats and no power plugs in the 90's of the last century, laptops were not as common as they are now and I got quite a few looks when I hooked up a Sony mobile brick to mine to remotely dial in to my box in the IT cave we called home. I usually wrote articles and proposals, hacked on random stuff or tried to build software I'd found on freshmeat.net or elsewhere.
That's a cool website! I have played with the idea of building something like this. A sort of blacklist for members of parliament for obvious unpunished corruption and crimes. With rules about how to get on and off of it etc.

But the case of Andreas Scheuer let's me doubt the effectiveness of such a thing: Everybody knows about the 500 million € he wasted, but since the party is just not affected by it in polls, it does not care and nothing happens.
A while back we were arguing here whether a car engine could meet modern emissions requirements with an ecu. I believed it was probably possible even if extremely difficult and there was rather unanimous disagreement. I wonder if anyone seeing this would change their mind a bit.

And yes, I do know what a modern car ecu does.

You are correct, and the transition point was 9/11. Before that the NSA was doing good work shoring up our digital infrastructure, as well as working with the FBI to go after international crime syndicates. I wish we could get back to that.
OK, fair enough: should buddy punching be a criminal offense? Hopefully our jails have room for 16% of the US hourly workforce.
To teenage boys where I grew up the '90s, "don't be gay" was just a standard egg-on challenge, interchangeable with "don't be a pussy." We weren't exactly in touch with our feminine sides. Your supposed masculinity was proven by doing things more idiotically dangerous than your friends. Only danger could lead to teenage glory. (See: Jackass). We had a saying for it: "Balls and stupidity." Teenage boys are like 2-year-old dogs before they get snipped. Rollerblading just wasn't dangerous enough. Especially with a bunch of pads on. Also, older people started doing it. You'd see lawyers rollerblading to work holding a latte. That more than anything probably killed it for teenagers.

After living in Spain and watching teenage boys do mindlessly dangerous moto dirtbike tricks for audiences of girls on the street, I had an insight that this was probably how Bullfighting started... some kid daring another kid to go stab a bull, and him doing it for attention from girls. And that sport is still heavily associated with machismo.

One other thing on the macho side - like, my mom roller skated when she was young, and even she got a pair of roller blades. You can't really be dangerously cool doing something your mom does.

I write Rust too. I like Rust for the mostpart, though there's some issues with the language that really wind me up, mostly to do with the unsafe/safe code boundary.

If you want full control and easier interfacing with the OS, C++ is probably a little better, but Rust is definitely a little easier to work with once you learn the language.
I don't see this part though. "Leave no room for a lower level language" doesn't require you to go around defining every mistake as Undefined Behaviour, that's crazy. A different part of the committee managed to see in 2021 that if your format can be statically detected as bogus (e.g. you tell the formatter you're giving it a string, then hand over a floating point type variable) then the compiler should be obliged to emit a diagnostic and give up compiling the program, not hand you a program that it knows can't work and enjoy your humiliation when it fails in production. That's the sort of safety improvement you'd want to see.

As I understand it the runtime performance-at-all-costs school, which includes people from Google, don't want the C++ language to be deliberately unsafe they just don't prioritize safety over performance. This group won't allow C++ to have runtime bounds checking for the array subscript operator or its overloaded equivalents and I think they're wrong about that, but it's not making the problem worse. Stuff like ranges, views and iterators (even though C++ iterators are incredibly ugly) mean in idiomatic C++ today you're rarely reaching for this particular gun that's supplied loaded and pointing directly at your feet. In contrast what was done to expected just seems like self-sabotage. If it's too slow then don't use it. Or rather, as these same people would be the first to point out, measure to check your intuition that it's too slow and only then if it really is don't use it.
Outside of levee protections, structures are all on piles above the flood elevation, so floods literally go under the house.

Inside levee protections, as the system currently exists, it doesn't, so houses have to have sand pumped under them occasionally to fill gaps left by subsidence.

The house is on piles, so it remains in place.
If you live in an apartment, does your landlord own your rent even if you haven't paid it? Should tenants who don't pay rent be guilty of theft? If not, then what's the difference?
One of the recommendations for lowering costs is to reduce turnover. Which you can do by paying more, assuming the higher pay costs less than training new staff.

My point is only that restaurants are famous for having tight budgets. It’s no surprise when restaurant owners say they can’t absorb even small cost increases.
As someone who makes their living owning a food business, nearly all the food industry-related comments here are off the mark. Rather than rebut any of them, I'd say the way to think about that particular set of industry challenges is to think of them like a chronic condition.

It's never a "just do this" answer. Never. You don't tell your friend with depression to plow through this down phase he's in. And the other friend with Crohn's disease and a colostomy bag doesn't benefit from someone suggesting she try a gluten-free diet.

It's the same in the food industry. The issues at hand are complex, the ripple effects of any change are significant and multifaceted, and the foremost issue today may be superseded tomorrow while nonetheless remaining an area for concern and attention.

The better move from the outside is to provide the support that's needed today by the business (or the friend) and within your means. Can't afford to go out for food regularly? I get it, just like your job may not allow you to be available as often as your friend with Crohn's disease needs a ride home from the hospital after some procedure.
> why youtube was “winning” over the other sites?

MySpace.

People would upload music videos and embed them on their profile, back when the "Embed HTML" feature was still novel. The player made it easy for users to copy/paste to their own profile, and then network effects kicked and the rest is history.

I was at the parent company at the time and through the News Corp acquisition, and remember the shit show when MySpace first banned YT embeds in late 2005 and again in 2006 ("for security"). Lot of internal bitterness that YT was riding their coattails.
I accept people who were supporting Ivermectin when it first came out, we didn’t know much about its effects on covid, and it seemed to help some people. It’s not particularly bad for you, so if you’re hospitalized it was a reasonable last resort. But multiple studies have now come out showing ivermectin really isn’t effective against covid, so it doesn’t make sense to support any more.

Also IIRC the “horse dewormer” claims are about people actually taking livestock dewormer, because it contains ivermectin and they can’t get medical ivermectin prescribed. And then people are being hospitalized because livestock dewormer contains other chemicals which aren’t safe for humans.

You can't define a clump of cells as "good," "evil," or, indeed, as "human." Your own holy book makes no attempt at doing so. If you insist on enforcing your unsupported opinion at gunpoint, it can only happen at the cost of our own free will... just as seen here.
To come to OPs defense, I also used the term gay a lot as a negative word growing up. I never knew any gay people, we just used it as an alternative for softy. My parents never explained what being gay meant, I had no openly gay relatives. I understand now it is painful for gay people and I probably did know some, they just laid low, partly because of using gay as a negative. Needless to say I don’t use the term like that anymore. But it was never consciously anti-homosexuals. Like Eminem who did a duet with Elton John to prove his point. Doesn’t make it right of course. I apologize for using the word. I also used to think nothing of black face, even defended the tradition, now I changed my mind.

I don't buy into moral relativism. There are things that result in more or less human flourishing. Often it's not that hard to see the right thing.

There is some room for different value judgements, but that's not the same as saying all choices are morally equal. Which I don't think you're proposing.
I also wonder if batteries can be commoditised the same way solar panels have been. Battery chemistry and manufacturing processes seem to be much more complex than solar panels, additionally there seems to be significantly more trade offs to be made by car manufacturers, than solar panel installers.

I did the same thing to a numpad phone (also old) about 2 months ago. I squeezed a pi zero-w into the chassis and wrote some software to bind each key from 0-9 to a song and then used the Pi's Bluetooth module to play the sound on a speaker across the room. I also have a button that reads out the current time and it runs a website to upload new songs and change the bindings. It was a really fun project and I am surprised someone had the same idea!

But also, unlike having a friend with a chronic disease, it is no one's obligation to support particular local businesses with their time and money. Yes, supporting local businesses in general is good, no question—but I feel like framing it as "just give the support you can to your local restaurants" implies a greater onus than can realistically be placed on regular people.

He live streams all of his work too, which is absolutely amazing to watch four or five hours of him refining small parts of the complex machine he’s working on. I watched him make small adjustments to a tube the marbles drop into so they’d travel at just the right speed to the next point, but without binding. Slightly too loose messes everything up, and slightly too tight makes the marbles get stuck. He’s supported by Patreon fans, which is truly amazing that such a skilled and niche project can be put together from the funding of random people who believe in him.

I agree, this is basically how all tech companies work now. The only thing that holds it back is the outrage cycle, which

a) only turns its spotlight on companies above a certain size/visibility,

b) can be defeated with a large enough marketing/lobbying spend, and

c) can be waited out by companies with other lines of business that bring in profits, and

d) can be combated with cycles of withdrawing, quietly reintroducing, then withdrawing again, and reintroducing again until

d1.) media outlets get bored with it, or

d2.) all other companies in the same line start to do the same thing, a traditional way of price-fixing. Once this happens, the only way you'll be stopped is with legislation, because e.g. every TV has banner ad pop-ups from the manufacturer now.
> The word "literally" never means "figuratively" or "hyperbolically"

Yes it does. The dictionaries have added the second figurative meaning:

The problem in San Francisco is entirely different. It's on poorly designed building. Even if every building in San Francisco had that problem, it still wouldn't be relevant.

The problem strata in New Orleans is the top 10-20' of soil. Mostly whatever's above the pumped-down, controlled, water table.

Piles only need to go that deep to suffice, or more typically until they hit the first layer of sand, which is stable. Literally every slab house built in New Orleans is built in these, because before this, everything was on blocks so it could constantly be raised and leveled.
Speaking of ancient advice, I found this recently.

"13The lazy person [who is self-indulgent and relies on lame excuses] says, “There is a lion in the road!

A lion is in the open square [and if I go outside to work I will be killed]!”

14As the door turns on its hinges,

So does the lazy person on his bed [never getting out of it].

15The lazy person buries his hand in the dish [losing opportunity after opportunity];

It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth."

The link between fear and laziness is something I'd not realized until I read this. I thought my low tolerance for risk was wisdom but it was simply fear that lead to laziness. It seems that humans had similar struggles thousands of years ago.
My favorite were spin stops - I'd do that 90% of the time, or drag a T until I was slow enough to do one. The other problem with a T is your foot can catch if you're on a sidewalk. But playing hockey I would intentionally take a knee sometimes, so I think that would still be something I'd do automatically.

The midway point in the sea level tool you linked is actually 1.41m by 2100. That's 4.6 feet of sea level rise by the end of the century and this is based on our current models where we are continuously discovering more and more positive feedback mechanisms that is accelerating sea level rise. (https://www.science.org/news/2020/11/seas-are-rising-faster-...) Now those levee walls that were originally 13 feet high are now less than 9 feet from the water and no longer really capable of doing the job they were designed for. So we better build bigger walls to keep all the water out, so let's go back and spend billions and billions more to have bigger walls, which by the way encourages more and more people to move into flood prone areas. Then you really set things up for a black swan event where something unexpected causes a levee failure (b/c that's never happened before) and then a bunch of people die.

So maybe you and your kids MIGHT be okay, but your grandkids and your great-grandkids? probably not.
You're moving the goalpost from what Andrew and the person responding said though. The Chinese phone is acting just like a Samsung phone, only a tad bit worse.

> I think the position that natural language will just take care of itself is just a touch hand-wavey.

Why not? It's done just that for countless millenia. Cavemen without Ph.D.'s in linguistics managed to develop languages for communication just fine.

Now, they could be further optimized, sure. But the default of taking no conscious action at all has historically worked out just fine for linguistic evolution.

Chipotle is pretty much the only "eating out" experience I've engaged in since the pandemic started.

Somehow they managed to not raise their prices, or raise it insignificantly enough to where I didn't notice it (50 cents across the board maybe?).

For sit-down places, I frequently see price hikes of 20-30% since early 2020 and mandatory gratuity for parties of 4 now, which is frankly ridiculous, because the food quality stayed the same or has gotten worse. Not to mention that the whole experience of sharing an indoor space with an unknown demographic is dubious at best.
I think you may be confusing me for someone who believes in 50:50 ratios for their own sake. I do not.

> Would you apply the same reasoning to prisons then?

In prisons I expect more male inmates for biological reasons: men are on average more inclined to commit imprisonable offenses.

Here is the model. It's the same for tech jobs and prisons:

1. A population of 50:50 red and blue things exists.

2. Some of them approach the gates. The ratio of red and blue approaching the gates may not be 50:50

3. Of those that approach the gates, a subset are admitted. The red/blue ratio among those admitted may again differ from those at the gates.

So there are two points at which the proportions change. At stage (2) we call this a "pipeline effect". At stage (3) we call this "discrimination".

In the case of both prisons and tech jobs, there is a large pipeline effect. Therefore, in neither case do we need to posit discrimination to explain skewed ratios behind the gates. Furthermore, we both agree that discrimination's not desirable. We don't need to consider it further.

The difference is that in the prison case, it is right and normal that the ratios approaching the gates should be different, because of human biology. Whereas in the tech case, it is more complex. Perhaps there are some biological differences making males more attracted to tech jobs. But there is also a huge cultural/environmental component: teenage girls are not attracted to tech at the same rates as teenage boys partly because of role models and societal norms.

A few years ago it became popular among progressives to repeat the mantra: "Don't blame it on the pipeline: the problem is discrimination". But of course, that was complete nonsense. As usual, left-wing progressives were unable to distinguish between a description of how they want the world to be versus a description of how the world is.

There is in fact an enormous "pipeline problem". In tech. But not so much in prisons with respect to sex. (Sure, there are some male groups in society that could probably benefit from some attention.)

> "societal pressure" is an example of discrimination.

So it looks like we have a terminology disagreement. Could I ask you to consider whether it might make more sense to make a verbal distinction between the pipeline effect (societal pressure) and discrimination?
This is really a test of who will win out first: workers have to pay bills, businesses have to have workers to stay in business. Eventually the rent comes due for both, and that will force the option. I predict by Christmas people will be back to work, raises in pay or not.
There is lots of room to frame things though. And companies do charity and political donations and community service all the time. Maybe it's for the tax deduction, but it's also because companies are just people, and those people care about the world they live in.
Oh, Simon Michael! I hadn't noticed your username until now.

> I have not used the SQL output.

I've used it to process the register output in a pipeline.

Sometimes, my `hledger reg` queries result in multiple quantities on some transactions. The terminal output leaves the columns of the date, transaction description and account blank, for pretty-printing purposes, I suppose. Those blanks complicate adding up the quantities per transaction using a tool like awk. There's also the JSON output format, but the depth of the objects around quantities makes the CSV still simpler to process, even though I need to process the quantities' text in SQL so they can behave like quantities.
