> This has been worked out quite successfully in other democracies.

No it hasn't. "Who watches the watchmen" is a question as old as time.

> position of appointing judges who are more willing to dance to his tune.

I support that. He should have been more forceful on the NJAC issue and the act should have excluded all judges from the composition of the council. The council should have been composed purely of members of parliament. The funny thing is, every one from the BJP to the TMC has the exact same complaint about "judges appointing judges."[1][2]

Judges encroaching on the territory of parliament isn't something that is unique to India. While it might have started in India when the SC invented the concept of the constitution having a "basic structure," with the Golaknath and Kesavananda Bharati judgments, you can see the same thing happening in the US with Marbury v. Madison within a few years of the establishment of the republic. Like politicians, judges are not immune to the trappings of power.

> India is having its own KKK moment right now.

You are mistaken. We are having a BLM/end-of-apartheid moment right now. The native population that was invaded, raped, plundered, enslaved, forcibly converted to the religion of the invaders, had their places of worship desecrated, destroyed and replaced with those belonging to the god of the invaders, and, after freedom from the British, saw their homeland chopped up into two has finally said: enough is enough.

[1] Two days after the Supreme Court pronounced its verdict on the 99th Constitution Amendment Act and the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), declaring them to be ultra vires the Constitution, the Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, said in his blog, “Indian democracy cannot be a tyranny of the unelected and if elected are undermined, democracy itself would be in danger.” (https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/njac-constitutions-wil...)

[2] Sukhendu Sekhar Ray further said, "An opaque system has been adopted in the country where judges appoint judges. Taking advantage of this, the Narendra Modi government is making use of this." (https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/bjp-vs-tmc-in-west-beng...)

Yep, in C mode (not C++) this has been working in MSVC already since VS2015. Clang also allowed the full C99 designated intitialization feature set in C++ long before C++20 as non-standard language extension.
How big is the market for this I wonder? I run a product like it for free for 15 years now and while it has 100000s users and 1000s of companies running off it, there are only a few who would not skip to self hosted/cloud hosted instead of paying us. We are fully free (no pricing page) but we talk to our users and some sponsor us (just send some money to PayPal willy nilly when they feel like it) ; most of them say they like our solution better than others however they would just pop their own server if we would charge. Seeing how much excitement this brings, I guess I should try adding a pricing page and calling their bluff.
"If so, this is no different than your employer actively monitoring your activity on their devices"

When I was 12, I didn't sign an employment contract with my school and they didn't pay me. Have times changed so much? Why would you imply that two relationships are in any way comparable?

Owning a device does not grant you a right to violate people's privacy - if you lease a car, is it okay for the rental company to install cameras in it and record you having sex in it?

> though standing in a group on the road is maybe not the brightest idea

I wouldn’t judge ravens too harshly. Insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan were notorious for booby-trapping bodies in order to take out first responders - so humans are clearly not impervious to making the same mistake.
typically in the comments sections of other blogs, when someone links them. Slatestarcodex, Ecosophia, and Charles Eisenstein are my current favourites.
I actually skipped or voted neutral on several important macro questions because I hadn't made up my mind yet, such as how to deal with national debt. However, I have an opinion on comparatively simple issues such as the use of inclusive language. The result was that tiny culture war parties lead the list in my Wahl-o-Mat results. Technically correct, but not great because this is the process that leads to polarization about fringe issues.
What walls, what "forceful and brutal isolation"?

Traffic between EU and other countries (Turkey) works normally except COVID restrictions. People can buy tickets, there is no need to climb walls or swim. We have embassies all around the world, it is easy to ask for asylum.

If you are comparing current situation to fascism and Berlin Wall, you are out of your mind.
Yeah, i remember how upset conservative voices on the Intenrt were at the election of Obama.

It was like a mirror image of Trump's election in 2016.

While personally I preferred Obama (as a non-US citizen) it's really sad how much anger and rage is expressed over these political differences.

Personally I think gerrymandering is the proximate cause, as it creates more safe districts for party members, which allows them to be more extreme than would be acceptable in a more competitive district.
At least over here (Germany & Austria) Bosch is a very common household name, as they not only are one of the larger employers around, but also have their logo on lots of common household appliances (e.g. dish washers, washing machines, ...) and tools, in addition to manufacturing ECUs for pretty much the entire German car industry.

I just found the idea quite funny that I could have a "BOSCH emulator" in my tool box, right next to my BOSCH electric drill. Especially since OP even used the capitalized spelling from the brand logo.

I'm not trying to be mean here, I genuinely found it funny and tried to point that out the way people usually do in social interactions, rather than rudely responding along the lines of "OMG you made a typo there". I guess that got a little "lost in translation" due to the textual medium and culture difference?
Well, /r/fatpeoplehate was definitely a hate group. I wonder why they would go around claiming it wasn't.
A NPP is an order of magnitude more expensive than a combined cycle power plant of the same power output. So even if electricity prices are high now because of gas constraints, that doesn't mean a NPP would have been a good idea.

Europe should perhaps have diversified their gas suppliers, with more LNG.
Social problems probably can’t be solved by electronics.
We're working on reducing gas dependency, shortages and price fluctuations are one factor, but dependency on Russia is another. I do wonder how much our gas import from Russia is helping us keep the peace.
A good ad blocker is even better. It would be awesome if it could also auto-skip in-video ads.

The vast majority of blogs during the "golden age" of blogging went almost entirely, if not entirely, unread. In hindsight, I don't know why people bothered, but they did. I blogged on my own domain for years and I don't think anyone read any of it, but I still enjoyed it.

Of course a lot of blogs were hosted on services like Blogger or Livejournal (which I also had,) and being able to create networks and friend/interest groups definitely increased visibility, but even then most things went unread and uncommented on.
I suspect it's more of a invasion of territory thing. Around here both crows and magpies don't take kindly to other big birds coming too close during nesting season.
How would they notice? I'm not suggesting to publish "random noise" videos, but maybe to make abstract art video/music that could "hide" the information?
> telecoms and email servers usually don’t

Telecoms get a (local) monopoly on parts of the radio spectrum.
Yeah blogs are still here, BUT: (like email (sob) and telephone-calling (hooray)) a lot of people that once did blog don't anymore.

Not in the "I had kids so my blog went dark for a few years" sense, but in the sense of "ooh twitter was invented and now I just emit a halfassed one-sentence brainfart or 5-second tiktok cellphone video and get way more dopamine hits".

I've been reading blogs and perusing my self-curated NetNewsWire RSS feeds for 20+ years, and blogs never went away, RSS never died, Google Reader getting googled didn't really matter, etc.

And there are probably technically more blogs now than ever before.

But still, the blog kinda died, in the sense that it would be a lot more surprising to learn your friend's 80-year-old grandma has a blog today than it would have been in 2011.

It went from an increasingly-mainstream thing to a decreasingly-mainstream thing.
Except Hinkley Point C would require those high prices persist for a decade in order to pay off. That's unlikely to happen.

This feels like one of those feel good bullshit quips that is probably technically sort of true but only partially or some such. But I haven’t had my coffee delivered so I am not all there yet to figure out what the fallacy is.

Cost of capital is a thing though. Much easier to raise money for a wind turbine or solar panel than a nuclear reactor. They're very efficient once running, but at that point they have investors and insurers to pay back.

Wow, so when I worked at a FAANG, I would say that soc sci people (broadly defined) made up at least a third of the data science org. Data science is a broad church though, and varies a bunch across companies so it's normal I supppose (though strange to me).
Which means - whether we like it or no - that social media were and are superior products when it comes to this specific use case, otherwise people won't be using it.

Better to have a few paying customers than unlimited free.

Seems like you just need to define a free tier and figure out where the cutoff is for more serious use.
Its more expensive to build because you know... a nuclear meltdown is a thing to avoid.
Not really. NPPs as backup to wind would be horribly expensive. Wind droughts don't happen often; even the current price during them would not make a NPP pay off.

What would make sense is larger local stores of hydrogen, to be burned in combustion turbines during the rare wind outages.
That you have a conscious experience of reality instead of being a souless biological machine in the shape of a human is not falsifiable, and yet we base a significant portion of our decisions on the assumption that it is true.
In Austria, the price per kWh has quadrupled since May 2020, which is when I moved in to a new home. Unfortunately this [0] chart from my provider only goes back 12 months, but you can see even during this short time that the price increased from 5.81c per kWh to 12.43c per kWh, which is more than 200%. I checked some of my statements, and in May 2020 the electricity price was 3.13c per kWh, which represents an increase of about 397% compared to today's price.

In the days when Windows was easier to crack, it was not uncommon to find very small, specialised ISOs of "miniature windows" designed specifically for running a certain task -- typically some form of data-recovery app, system repair/maintenance or similar -- and they would fit on a single CD-R, have almost no system requirements, and, if I recall successfully, be bloody useful to my school's computer administrators who otherwise just had to reimage machines all the time with Norton Ghost.

Nowadays it seems that a Windows ISO does not come up short of 4 GB and this tradition of "repacking" them into small, optimised, crap-free operating systems (albeit of questionable legality, but inevitably used on a machine that had a real windows license!) has been lost. I lament this.
They've been signalling a 40%+ gas price increase for the winter in the news here in Romania. For the poor people and pensioners who often live month to month this is tragic news. They don't know how they'll make it when they'll have to choose between food and medicine or heat.

Like everyone else responding, I think there's so so many blogs and personal sites around. Once you start looking and actually exploring the internet you'll find plenty. There's been a bit of resurgency with "indie web", digital gardens, etc. If anything there's probably more blogs now than there were before.

More children in Chicago have been shot than died from COVID
https://nypost.com/2021/09/11/more-children-in-chicago-have-...

Lunatics are eager to inject children with an under-tested substance that may cause insidious irreversible harm, to allegedly protect them against something that affects fewer children than various other scourges we've allowed to continue for decades.

Why is that? Is there any chance that this isn't actually about a virus, or public health? Is anything starting to seem a tad weird?
They do, someone got a loan in my friends name and racked up debt, and they probably got his data from a data leak - ofcourse its impossible to prove.

Native has different meanings, depending on context. In this context, it means: the binary has been compiled for the platform and the code is executed natively, that is without a VM or interpreter. JS in browsers is commonly not considered native, while QML somehow is. Don't ask me why :)
They did. Not getting your harvest in while the weather was favourable was a real problem. Mill capacity was one part of that, there were several others.
We’ve increasingly been looking at electronics as you’ve suggested. I like the idea of tying the controller to the rider’s device. It would require some hacking with our current setup.

One of the big risks is that the cargo bikes are worth stealing with a truck or pickup. The resell value is great and even if the bike is inoperable, the parts can be easily dismantled and sold off. I worry that the tactics will shift more towards that direction as the bikes themselves get harder to ride off on.
The response to this is normally the same as the response to trophy hunting subsidising conservation: namely, "yeah, that's true, but reality shouldn't be that way". I don't find that a very compelling argument, but apparently some people do.

A Guide to Difficult Conversations
Definitely a few interesting ideas here. As someone who dabbles in Haskell, I'm certainly all in favor of separating pure code from side-effecting code.

I'm not quite sure how the constraint that procedures can't return values would work with fetching data from external sources; I suppose that ties in with the reactivity bit? That could work for long-running applications, such as the web apps you seem to mostly have in mind, but for one-off scripts or anything operating in more of a batch mode it seems overly complicated.

Building off of that point, it might be better to focus more narrowly on web apps as the target domain, rather than trying to make a general-purpose language. Maybe don't focus the language as tightly as Elm does (where SPAs are the only thing it really supports), but make clear that web apps (and more broadly, reactive GUI applications) come first.

Deep const is an interesting idea that I think is worth exploring. While I partially like Haskell's approach of making everything immutable (besides stuff like the ST monad), there's definitely some logic that's easier to express in a mutable fashion. Might be worth looking at the immer library for presenting a mutable interface for working with immutable objects; maybe with a language construct that allows mutability only within a certain scope?

It feels like there’s a clear class difference. Almost all of these people are Hispanic/brown immigrants. If this was happening, and presuming it was worse than what the article described, what are the chances that you would know about it?
Just to be clear - I am strongly in favor of code reviews and do them every day. However, the article advocates spending 20-40% time on doing code reviews. Good luck convincing your manager why your productivity is so low when others are churning out high quality features (because you spent 20-40% of your time reviewing others' code but they didn't spend commensurate time reviewing yours). Net result - other people's code is higher quality, they get more done. Your code is lower quality and you get less done. Good luck getting that promotion or even retaining your job.
And also because combustion turbines are a seriously nice technology. Heat exchangers are expensive. A NPP transmits heat across many fluid/solid interfaces: fuel rods to coolant, primary to second coolant heat exchanger, secondary loop to steam generators, and steam to cooling water in the condenser after the turbines. A simple cycle combustion turbine avoids all that. Even a combined cycle power plant puts much less heat through its steam bottoming cycle for a given power output.
You can pretty much say the same thing for any new technology. Flushing toilets? But I can already empty my chamber pot far away from my house! The fact is, even if current package managers can do this, people (including professionals) don't do it. The way forward isn't to develop new tooling that works with human nature, not against it.

This is pretty nice! Added CSP headers and fixed the cookie attributes on my personal site thanks to it, had forgotten about those.

The CSP analysis section (and maybe some others) could use a bit of improvement. For example, currently you get the following output:

Clickjacking protection, using frame-ancestors

With the following popover text:

The use of CSP's <code>frame-ancestors</code> directive offers fine-grained control over who can frame your site.

And yet, nowhere does it recommend you actionable steps. The page that you're probably looking for in that situation might as well be a clickable link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Co...

Thankfully, the recommendation section does have some useful links apart from that! Not step by step guides, but still would lead you in the general direction of what you need.

Despite those difficulties (that do not sound ludicrous considering the complexity and the amount of technology transfer that was required, but I'm no submarines expert), as I mentioned in another comment, the joint communique between French and Australian Defence minister from August mentioned that "both sides [were] committed to deepen defence industry cooperation and enhance their capability edge in the region" and that "ministers underlined the importance of the Future Submarine program".

Looking back, it is hard to argue that official line was not very disingenuous, even after acknowledging the issues with the program.

Medium, in an attempt to monetise blogging and give financial incentives to writing with paywalling, has absolutely damaged my perception of blogging. It was the perfect platform, and so nice to find interesting blogs and articles that only wanted to share information and stories.

But then it started eating away the blog platform space, and then took all that hostage with paywalls. There's not that many companies I really dislike, but Medium is starting to be up there in the list.
