It now dawns on me that you feel empowered to apply a purity test because of the apparently inexhaustible supply of candidates.

Rationally, there are problems with this. First, talented people are rarer than you think. Moreover, the very nature of their talent is the kind of thing that tends to fail purity tests. Second, if your purity test is strict, then no-one can pass it. Are you a bigot? What about your hair-dresser, they are a known bigot, and yet you still go there? You like Shakespeare, a known anti-semite? If you weaken your purity test, to accomodate messy, practical reality, then what does that say about your motivation?

Ethically, there's a big problem with this. People are valuable in-and-of themselves. Discarding people so easily is to devalue human life, and all the complexity that entails. If you yourself ever failed your own purity test, now or in the past, then why haven't you discarded yourself? If you haven't done that, then how committed are you to your brand of purity?

Ethnographically, there's a problem with this. Most of the people in the world are deeply bigoted. Tribalism runs deep in our DNA. African tribes still hate each other, Asians famously dislike each other (and being mistaken for the hated group), and so on. Most of humanity, those groups you're trying to be more inclusive of, are excluded by your test.

It is ironic in the extreme that humanism has become so intolerant of humanity.
> organic farming performs better than conventional for nearly all crop types when energy use is expressed on a unit of area basis

Well, of course. But that's a useless measurement. The whole point of hi-tech farming is to increase the density. Organic farming is less efficient for unit of food produced.

While most software engineers in the U.S. don't make 300-400k, you will make above 100k pretty quickly. You can make 150k-ish total comp at tons of places in the United States. These places will usually offer very good benefits too.
Umm. The last time I was in Venice, there were what sounded like Britons partying under the windows late at night. And the first time I was in Venice, I read that the city's population was a third of what it had been in 1970, and there were not a lot of signs of life at night.

I like this anecdote, it does seem very much like Bill G. I think a lot of people answer this very generically like "be smart" or saying don't focus on career growth focus on writing good software. But operating in the corporate world is filled with many other challenges that refusing to acknowledge or discuss won't make go away. If you are a craftsman and only that, then I can see how this advice applies. Forget the game and focus on building what you like. If you want to make an impact, I want to give something more meaningful to take away. I personally think focusing on the outer wrapping of career or title is a meaningless game, but focusing on doing things that make more meaningful changes in others lives is worthwhile for some.

It seems like it would be smart to learn from others.

They went after Quad9 (and not Google, Cisco, and Cloudflare) because Google, Cisco, and Cloudflare are all still hiding behind the Northern California District Court, where there are no consequences for privacy violations. And the US isn't a signatory to the Lugano Convention, whereas Switzerland is. Sony began this attack just a few days after Quad9 re-domiciled to Switzerland. An unexpected and unfortunate cost of having a binding privacy policy. I gave a talk about this at the last DEF CON:

"Delayed action increases challenges to both economic and societal feasibility after 2030"

This is coming from the historically conservative IPCC. They're still incorporating carbon capture technology that doesn't exist or doesn't exist at scale in projections (see C2.4 on page 17 of the PDF). While they admit in C8.2 (page 23) that these technologies are still in pilot stages and require commercialization, I would have liked there to have been more analysis of the risk that these technologies won't work at scale in section C10. Is it a near certainty we figure CCS out and the challenges are political and economic, or are there uncertain scientific and engineering challenges that remain?
Sorry I don't get it. This is literally the only mention of "growth" on the linked page:

Scientific consensus is democratic in nature (even though votes are not distributed evenly). The ideal is that through reproducible experiments and application of the scientific method the scientific consensus moves to increasingly accurate models of reality over time. But obviously the speed at which that happens varies, and some right ideas took annoyingly long to get accepted into scientific consensus.

The unsurprising result is that naysayers call the change a failure before the first harvest after the change.

They "predict" that they will lose 50% of the harvest. Let's not call it a failure just yet and see how this turns out after a few years.

Sure, sudden change is disruptive, but humans are adaptable and can accomplish amazing things in a crisis. If they don't revert it and stay organic only, maybe they'll have an amazing reputation and a huge competitive edge in a decade.

> Former central bank deputy governor W.A. Wijewardena reportedly termed the organic plan as a “dream with unimaginable social, political and economic costs”. He said Sri Lanka’s food security had been “compromised

Those of us who have managed projects and built stuff can recognize the flaw. It is the difference between "what we'd like to be true" and having a solid plan for getting there.

Probably having all organic farming is a great goal but probably could have been predicted to backfire if done overnight.

Specifically: don't kill your inorganic farming before your organic farming produces enough for you to eat.

This pattern of failure can be seen everywhere. Don't give up your strategic base in Afghanistan until all your people are evacuated. Don't shut down your nuclear power plants until your renewables have actually proven to produce enough.

Idealism is great for visualizing the future. But unchecked idealism will kill you. I am not sure about the politics of Sri Lanka but I see in the US people rally around which politician can paint the rosiest picture of the future rather than the tempered pragmatic who can make iterative progress towards a better place.

I don't think saying someone is more dependent on tourism makes it the case that Sri Lanka isn't dependent on tourism. An overnight drop of 12% is huge.
LOL. I wish the government gave 0-interest loans. As it stands in the US, Stafford Loans are higher than most car loans [3.73% undergrad, 5.28% graduate, 6.28% PLUS]. Costs are skyrocketing despite government loans. It's not the working/middle class students asking for new buildings, new "centers of research", new dorms, etc. Colleges are building these things, giving you the bill, and your options are go:not go.
This is anecdotal, but in my experience democrat Americans actually believe everything that the party tells them. They quote the exact same lines, I hear the exact same phrase from different people, and when I ask further questions there is silence. e.g. "rich people stash their money" with absolutely nothing to back that up.

Surprisingly, republicans can be more open to conflicting ideas and for debate, even though their propaganda is significantly worse. Probably that is an effect of knowing vs not knowing it's propaganda, it seems to me that democrats in general are true believers in the party lines.
What do you mean by clear alternative? Feature parity? There's at least 10 nearly feature-compatible software out there. I can name five without looking it up: PeerTube, LBRY/Odysee, Cinnamon, Nebula (okay this one's a bit of a stretch because you can't outright sign up and post videos, you need some creator to invite you), DTube.

Thing is none of them will make you YouTube money, so smaller creators don't bother, while larger ones usually just cross-post stuff, leaving no incentive for their audience to bother with the alternative.

Mandarin is not written Chinese to my knowledge. There are simplified and traditional Chinese in written form. Mandarin is close to how Northern Chinese speak and can be written in both form without any difficulty and most of times equivalent

Edit: perhaps you mean other Chinese dialects use different words to describe something - commonly seen in Southern dialects which inherits more from ancient Chinese. However for many common esp professional sentence the written form is universal

The order of negation in those instructions may have been due to a very low-level hardware optimisation: it could save some time and circuit area to have the negation happen "inside" instead of "after", because the former is part of existing circuitry to do FP multiplication (ermember that FP is sign-magnitude) whereas the latter would require an additional stage on the output.

> Is nationalisation evil in itself?

Oh very much it is. Come to the lovely Eastern Europe and see for yourself how good national owned companies are. Full of useless bureaucrats put there to ensure voters so the ruling party can continue ruling. Also in huge debts which are paid by more taxes so the working people pay for the lazy.

Unless the human race somehow chains itself to selflessness, nationalization + democracy is a sure way to destroy any organization. Now privately owned is not much better but in theory can be replaced with a competitor. Not so much for a national organization.

I think it's pretty clear from the full text that he's not advocating for racism against past racists or their offspring (which, intentional or not, is what your use of the quote makes it sound like).
Just to be clear, there's no reason to believe you aren't a Chinese bot trying to sow division among western countries with this comment. It's a pretty safe guess and we have no way of verifying otherwise, after all.
35, renting and another 12k left here. I am in the (relatively) lucky position that my loans are only about 6% interest so it's not quite an emergency for me to pay them back. Selfishly I stopped making extra payments to see if Biden actually kept his campaign promise of a minimum $10k forgiveness, but of course as soon as he was elected that disappeared.

I know classmates of mine (2008) who still have 20, 30, 40k in debt. Even some of the kids who came from a bit of family money still struggled for the better part of their 20's to pay everything back.

Note that "i.e." is short for "id est" (that is), rather than something that can be interpreted as "for example". And it is not necessarily the case that transacting in crypto currencies preserves your identity, it just takes one mistake, then your no-longer-anonymous transaction that was preserved in IMMUTABLE BLOCKCHAIN FOREVER is there for discovery.

So, if I was actually concerned about my privacy and anonymity, I would not transact in (most, at least) cryptos, dealing only in much less traceable cash.

The Tarrant Tabor (2006)
To spoil a little, this book considers a group of low-income whites and a group of low-income blacks.

As teenagers the whites have a pessimistic attitude about success but the blacks are more optimistic. Barriers to the success of both groups are looming.

The first edition of the book stops there: one is left with the feeling that the plight of the two groups is not that different (e.g. "systemic racism" is a real thing but doesn't seem salient when you are know "white people with black problems") Somehow, however, the blacks believe that "they can overcome".

In a follow-up study a decade later both groups are doing poorly, but the blacks in particular have had their hopes dashed by poverty, problems with the law, problems with work, etc.
Saskay and Johnpaul
In defense of the parent poster, they're making an altogether different point.

Their point, as I take it, is that investing in future welfare at the risk of current welfare rarely makes sense to people's minds, and in fact often jeopardizes future welfare as well as current, due to the fact that any harm it causes now may in fact carry over into the future.

What you're talking about, on the other hand, is about corporate greed and indifference. Very different scenario.

E.g. A struggling parent buying cheap bread for their kids today rather than starving them for a month to save money and feed them more nutritious food later, is not the kind of decision one would attribute to MBA driven obsessions. Nor is this parent a worse parent than a more affluent one who can afford such an investment without starving their children.
I'm curious. I saw a similar comment earlier, surely the surely windows licensing is just a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the infrastructure costs?

I've not really looked at hosting anything on windows before, do they have unusual licensing terms in such a way that it would be a significant cost?
Looks like a hit piece to me.

"The result: (...) kerosene oil and cooking gas prices are surging"

Hmm what the relation from cooking gas prices to organic farming?

"According to the Annual Review of Resource Economics, organic agriculture generates more air pollutants and environmental emissions in the crop production process for a unit of food than chemical farming."

Reading the paper : https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-resource-1...

"The evidence suggests that organic agriculture uses less energy per unit of land, and to a lesser extent, also per unit of output than conventional agriculture "

No mention of other air pollution I could find.

Nice to point to a paper that says the exact opposite of what the press article says.

I didn't check the rest, I'm assuming pesticide and chemical fertilizer producer saw a nice opportunity (fall of income due to COVID impact on tourism) to avoid organic contagion to other countries through cheap to corrupt journalists.
Slightly OT, but how is IPFS these days? Every time I've tried using it the past few years it seemed very WIP. Cool sounding protocol though.
<3 It's insightful. Very existentialist.
I think studies in the EU, which bans GMOs but does plenty of non-organic farming, should address this. However, I don't know of any to cite, or what the results may be.
When I am watching youtube video in firefox, in Task manager I can see its using "3D" part of my GPU, while video decode and video processing is idle. When I open the same video in edge, 3D part of my GPU is very low and its video processing unit taking the load.

This means I cannot watch 4k videos on my 4k laptop, as the GPU is dropping frames, 8k it renders just one single frame.
In edge, no issue playing 8k..

> who don't bother understanding the thing they're annoyed about

This is the root cause of the problem. Regular initd + rc scripts are simple enough to be understood by everybody, which systemd is too complex to understand in the limited time we have. There is no "systemd senior developer" or "systemd solutions architect" positions for systemd developers, to adjust investment into systemd ecosystem.

We can easily replace initd by something much more powerful, like perl, javascript, python, java + spring, Emacs, or even Firefox or Eclipse in headless mode. They all are able to read configuration files and launch new processes. But (almost) nobody does so, because they are hard to debug and have very large surface.

>> SoC that often have weird peripheral and drivers that require patched kernels

This is a sad industry-wide mess which should have been fixed long time ago IMO.

It is unfortunately common for an Android device to come with a custom patched 2.x kernel with no plans for 3.x support. Then when a next Android is released it has a hard requirement of 3.x kernel. So no Android update for that SoC/device and no way to port this mess into the newer kernel.

If SoC/peripheral manufacturers only supply "software" as a custom hacked 2.x kernel branch they are basically supplying unfinished PoC-quality un-updatable garbage and such software should have never been released with a production device.

This is non-existent on desktop and laptop space where you often have mainline support for all the essential components.

This is the fundamental problem with technocracy: the technocrats cannot know everything about the current state, and they cannot predict everything about the future state. It is very easy after the fact to critique their decisions ('hey, why didn't you just increase taxes on chemical fertilisers by 10% annually over the course of a decade?'), but it is in the general case impossible for central planners to make informed decisions. The problem space is just too large.

The only workable answer is for lots of distributed planners to make lots of real-time decisions based on pertinent information. Most of them will make bad decisions, but a few will make correct ones, and hence win.
How Docker Broke in Half
Yeah, and I've seen a lot of bad substitutions.

It gets visceral when I volunteer for sorting at the food bank. The organic crates roll in, the traditional crates roll in -- and it turns out that, say, all the zucchini in the organic crates has turned to mush because they don't believe in spraying with wax. Crate after crate of rotting, wasted produce. Awful. Natural, yes, but nature is so often awful, and it's such a shame when we know how to be less wasteful and intentionally forego this knowledge in order to indulge shoppers' nature fetish. Is this even what they really want? Would they continue to insist on the organic label if they saw these crates of rotting zucchini mush?

We don't have a lot of details as to what "invests his money into crypto" means and how that is going. The article doesn't touch on his music and music production skills, both of which could be honed substantially with a further music education. They could also be honed a lot by playing in a band and committing to a lot of practice. People can be self taught, but it generally requires a lot of practice and purpose, and this article doesn't touch on whether or not he is doing that.

You can break into music production without a degree, of course, but it's going to be a challenge in the middle of nowhere Minnesota.

"htmlq is like jq but for html" is a very specific 'dog whistle' for people who use jq. I agree that people who don't know what jq is will get no value and pay no attention. But for people who use jq, the claim is, like a dog whistle, clear, concise, and means exactly what it says. In two seconds, everyone using both jq and html will instantly know what is available and log it away.

So for general purposes, it's a terrible marketing pitch. And yet I think it's a very, very valuable demonstration of knowing some of their 'customers'.
