You might like Breaking Points with Krystal Ball (yes that's her real name) and Saagar Enjeti - they're a left-leaning/right-leaning pair who cover current events from a populist anti-establishment perspective. As a result you get lots of takes about stories the mainstream media are neglecting. They're also both really smart. You might not agree with them (I don't necessarily) but it does make legacy media seem lame, boring, and corrupt by comparison.

I agree completely. It's a very difficult problem from a technical perspective, and from a systems perspective, we've got untrained operators who can't even stay off their phones in a non-self-driving car. (Not high-horsing it here; I'm as guilty of this as anyone.) Frankly I'll be amazed if anyone can get this to actually work without significant changes to the total system. Right now self-driving car folks are working in isolation - they're only working on the car - and I just don't think it's going to happen until everyone else in the system gets involved.

The last time I rented a 16' truck for a 1k+ mile one-way move was 6 years ago. It was $400 traveling north along the US east coast. My previous move towards that direction 4 years prior was $1200.

I'm renting another 16' truck for a move going south on the same route next week. The truck and insurance cost over $5000.

I looked at purchasing a box truck as an alternative to reduce the hit to my wallet. Box trucks cost around 2.5x what they did two years ago. I'm finding 10+ year old beat up GMC trucks going for over $100k.
That's reasonable. But there are companies out there that pair 100% of the time - no code is ever written by a single person. Sounds like hell.

> C++, unlike Java, is not typically used for cloud development, so I don't think a lot of resources were allocated for the language.

I think actually its the opposite, and the C++ implementation had seen most activity. Some other implementations (e.g. the node.js one, the initial version of .NET support, and also the rust_grpcio flavor) had been built on top of Googles C++ gRPC core library. I am not sure however if some of those now have moved to more native implementations recently, since I haven't followed the development closely.

> why no one talks about

Because most people frown on genocide.

And it's not like it's a secret that people living is why CO2 emissions happen. A big part of the Paris Agreement includes details about the varying development states of different places around the world (the average Ghanian is responsible for way less carbon emissions than the average American, but it's not fair to enforce them staying that way).

But fine, I'll bite; lets talk about it. What do you suggest? Who are you suggesting we have fewer of?
> What I would like to see more of is “no backend” type solutions that allow you to just write front ends that leverage existing auth, databases, etc

I did the opposite of that, since I see the data structures are the "real" thing and the layout of the web pages as merely froth on the top.

My Frambozen[1] framework is all backend, in that you define your database schema, and then it builds parts or all of the front end (the web pages) for you. (It's written in Python and uses the MongoDB database).

So for example, you might define a table like this:

class Foo(MonDoc):
name = StrField()
description = TextAreaField(monospaced=True)
aNumber = IntField(minValue=0, maxValue=100)
minSpeed = FloatField(title="Minimum Speed, mph", minValue=0.0)
maxSpeed = FloatField(title="Maximim Speed, mph", minValue=0.0)
favouriteDrink = ChoiceField(choices=DRINK_CHOICES,
showNull=True, allowNull=True)
fruitsLiked = MultiChoiceField(choices=FRUIT_CHOICES,
desc="tick all fruits this person likes")
tickyBox = BoolField()
aDate = DateField()
lastSaved = DateTimeField(desc="when this foo was last saved",
readOnly=True)
aDateTime = DateTimeField(title="A Date and Time")
anything = ObjectField(desc="can contain anything",
default=["any", "thing"])
favouriteBook = FK(models.Book, allowNull=True, showNull=True)

And then it can auto-generate a page to view / edit / create a single record in the table, and another page to listr all the records in the table.

I've felt this as well. Before the pandemic, I lived in a small apartment in an up-and-coming part of my city. Downstairs was a very nice small grocery store, cafe, and central Asian food restaurant. I took the bus to work each day, and life was good.

Now, post pandemic, the small grocery store downstairs closed, as did the cafe, and the restaurant is take-out only. The neighbourhood also suffered, with many lovely small businesses closing and crime becoming as rampant as it was a decade ago. The city also raised the bus fare ~20%. This was basically the perfect storm to drive me into a house rental, buy a cheap used car, and otherwise turn me into what I resented just a few years ago.

I think this is going to be a trend for many late-twenty-somethings in north america, the regression of optimistic urbanists to begrudged suburbanites.
Yeah Los Angeles already fines pedestrians pretty aggressively for jaywalking, even on urban pedestrian-heavy streets.

This maintains a different norm for the city about jaywalking than say Boston, so in principle the issue seems quite solvable.

Because this way YOU would have the power to decide what you see, and why, I ask, would the biggest corporation in the world not use this power themselves? They can literally change minds and public opinion using it. Imagine the implications in terms of public police, elections, even the general zeitgeist of the population about the company itself. Google will NEVER allow it's users to decide for themselves what they want to see.

One of my favorite lifelong traditions has been to check out the local library, which sells donated books for 50¢. My family had no education, no connections or friends, basically nothing but a hard work ethic. So for me the library was a gateway to priceless knowledge and stories that I had neither the means nor know-how to acquire otherwise. Thanks to that library I was able to build up a modest but decent library by high school, with books about Roman and Greek philosophy, obscure but outstanding Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, and even anthropology. It always feels so fateful and serendipitous to have a gem come to me through such a spontaneous, unplanned path.

One of these books was "Never in Anger", by Jean Briggs, which I knew would be at least mentioned in the article as soon as I read the title of this link. It's really an outstanding book if you have any interest in anthropology and getting a somewhat inside look at other cultures.

I could quote the whole article, but this section captures a sentiment I took away from the book:

> Even just showing a smidgen of frustration or irritation was considered weak and childlike, Briggs observed.

> For instance, one time someone knocked a boiling pot of tea across the igloo, damaging the ice floor. No one changed their expression. "Too bad," the offender said calmly and went to refill the teapot.

> In another instance, a fishing line — which had taken days to braid — immediately broke on the first use. No one flinched in anger. "Sew it together," someone said quietly.

Since childhood I've been in love with philosophies like Stoicism and Buddhism and worked hard to practice emotional regulation in my daily life. I've at least improved my own abilities, regardless of how that may compare with others. But I've never seen such an admirable implementation as the people covered in "Never in Anger". I've tried adopting their approach in my own life, but it definitely takes a long time to learn how to really control your anger, rather than just suppress it and convince yourself it's controlled.

I highly recommend anybody interested in my comment or the article just go ahead and read the whole book, it's really an excellent work. And if you have any other suggestions, please recommend them. I've already added Brigg's second book, "Inuit Morality Play", to my reading list after seeing it mentioned in the article.
Prefab, but Make It Luxury: Modular Homes Can Be High End Too
IPCC thinks that “tipping points” leading to positive feedback loops are highly unlikely.

In general, you should rather expect negative feedback loops. For example, the warming response to increased CO2 emission is logarithmic, meaning that the more CO2 you emit, the weaker effect additional effect has, and quite significantly so. Of course, our problem is that we are emitting so much, and our emissions grow so fast, that this diminishing effect is of little consolation. The point is, negative feedback loops are much more likely than positive ones.

Yeah, remember how Amazon got theirs. Not that those results will apply here of course. A lot depends on how much upside your investors and stock holders believe will eventually come to pass. Hard to say you are going to take much market share from a project owned and backed by Microsoft though.
"Because of the general bugginess of SLS"

I was there, and I don't recall that. It all "just worked" in the summer of 93 which was mere months after this article. On a 40 mhz 386dx, a kernel recompile took about an hour with 4 megs of ram so I upgraded to 5 megs using 4 256K sticks (back then simms were 8 bits wide and the 386 had a 32 bit bus, so ...) and then compile times dropped to 15 minutes. X window system worked fine IIRC.

The big problem with SLS is the distribution method was zipped floppy disk images downloaded from BBSes that were basically split up tar files. So the only update mechanism to fix a minor corner of the X window system would be to redownload all the "X" series disk images, then do a complete reinstall of the X window system.

IIRC the A series of floppy disks was about three disks and would boot and do nothing, but it did verify your hardware worked with linux so it was a natural starting point. The B series installed a "complete unix CLI environment" and the C series installed the compilers although you needed to install the K series to get the kernel source. In those days I believe we did not have modules yet so I had to recompile to get the mitsumi proprietary "not quite IDE" cdrom driver, or at least if we had modules nobody distributed that module in compiled format. Also in the pre-PCI era we set our ports and IRQs manually and it was possible at boot to override but most people recompiled their kernel to their local soundblaster sound card settings or whatever. I believe there might have been a T series of floppies which installed TCL/TK.

The superb innovation of Debian was once you got it installed and you connected to the internet you could download deb files and upgrade, perhaps, just perl. Or you could install, perhaps, just the gawk implementation of awk. About half a decade later came apt and you could now upgrade "automatically" over the internet which seemed quite magical at the time.

A big part of Debian in the old days was all FOSS license so its safe to use at work, and the universal OS "everything should be possible" kind of the opposite of the modern debian systemd era "theres only one way we will let you compute, and you'll like it or leave". I don't recall any claims of being bug free or less bugs at all; if anything debian was worse LOL.

It was not clear until the APT era that binary distribution was the way to do linux. In the "old days" if you wanted a fancy irc client you simply ftp downloaded the source and tar -xzf whatever.tar.gz ; make ; make install ; make clean it and it worked quite well.
That's a good aspect of the analogy. I can play pretty much anything with strings (not necessarily well, but I can play it), but being able to play a particular song on it is another thing.

Likewise, the programming side of my work is generally pretty trivial (as is the case for probably 99% of most programming that happens in the world). It's the domain knowledge that makes things difficult/interesting/challenging.
It is a pure dictatorship for a while now.
Why would that be hard? It's used for tons of illegal activity (ransomware as an example).
Last I looked at this, nuclear is so expensive that wind/solar + batteries are price competitive.
I'll second this - I maintain a few different Django backends and it's been smooth sailing upgrading most of them.
The booster going around now are the same as the first shot, they are the same effectiveness (which is still very high) against the Delta variant. After 6 to 8 months, neutralizing antibodies wane so this ups them again. The multivalent booster shots are still in clinical trials.
> (though they don't like that term since it's not really a vaccine, according to them)

To be fair, compared to the other vaccines that we're used to (except for the flu shot), this vaccine appears really weak. I wonder if giving it another name (immunity booster?) would have helped.
This is my viewpoint as well. People are all talk about "should be doing" but when it comes down to "alright, you're going to have to sacrifice some comfort" all action ceases.
Sounds interesting but the article doesn't mention how many containers would fit in this sub.
This line from the article really bothered me

> With only 1.1C of warming so far, the world has seen a torrent of deadly weather disasters intensified by climate change in recent months, from asphalt-melting heatwaves to flash floods and untameable wildfires.

I'm really bothered by the recent trend in science reporting to take a carte blanche approach to attributing every natural disaster to climate change. Yes, it's indisputable that climate change is absolutely changing our weather patterns, and it's very probably causing and/or strengthening the consequences of disasters happening now, but it's just plain bad science reporting to lump up all recent natural disasters and go "see! Climate change!". And yes, I'm aware that this might be the only way to catch people's attention to the current crisis, but that doesn't excuse the disservice to bone fide science reporting.

> Just about everybody on the internet wants attention, even if it’s just from one person or a small group. We all want people to pay attention to us - perhaps to confirm our biases, or laugh at our jokes, or even tell us we’ve upset them - but I don’t think that most people actively seek it until they’ve had enough of it to feel the thrill of being “someone,” even in a tiny little online microcosm, or perhaps from a famous person or a person they respect.

Cambridge Dictionary:

> censor: to prevent part or the whole of a book, film, work of art, document, or other kind of communication from being seen or made available to the public, because it is considered to be offensive or harmful, or because it contains information that someone wishes to keep secret, often for political reasons.

Miriam Webster definition:

> to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable

If I automatically delete content merely because I think you won’t be interested in it, I don’t see how that counts as censorship under the standard dictionary definition.

That said, you are of course entitled to your own opinion of what the word means. But please don’t be surprised if I think you sound a bit melodramatic suggesting that Google is carrying out censorship by automatically deleting emails offering me cheap viagra, especially when I can still see these emails by clicking on a link or reconfiguring the rules.
I started in BASIC, and loved it. I was profilic, even. C and such were so ugly and hard in comparison.

Once I grew and learned other languages, I only then realized why BASIC is/was weird and 'bad', as people say.

I love that BASIC existed for me, and I learned a lot, but I don't think it has much value today.

I think Python is a similarly easy language, and one people can immediately be more productive in.

Okay grownup, assess this. How do we credibly maintain that we can properly maintain stored wastes for centuries, in order to prevent some sort of ecological cataclysm? This is a particularly sensitive question in light of the fact that the overall conversation we are having is concerned with preserving society as we know it?

I'm not against nuclear power. But if we are to be adult about it, we need to be clear about the risks (and not pretend that there is a risk in assuming the same type of society in 1500 years). We also need to be clear what it means to take this risk if all we are solving is a 'problem' that our best efforts at modelling CAN NOT REPLICATE, and evidence for which only exist if one cherry-picks the dates.
The grain of salt part is needed because it's a speculation about some data that isn't even confirmed yet.

Presumably the point is to put the speculation at the head of the queue just in case it is.

Which is fair enough, but until there's confirmation of an anomaly the speculation is just... speculative.

I'm not saying that safety couldn't be improved, for example by disengaging more easily in situations where it isn't confident. One heuristic would be when it changes route suddenly, like in this scenario.
My critique is this tool seems like you'll hit walls as soon as the framework can't do exactly what you need. Oh, you need a sortable to-do list? Just use the "DatasetSortable" React component instead of the normal "Dataset". What if the framework doesn't have a say, filterable, dataset component? What if you need access control? What if you want to share your todo list with others? I don't realistically see how this grows beyond the trivial, unless the framework solved your concrete need.

In some vein they kind of do this by letting you like or dislike videos. The problem is almost all of them see this as an opportunity to signal others. Which means that your likes and dislikes are also value judgements, that you may or may not be comfortable making.

They have at least have "not interested" but it's a clunky system.

TikTok is having more luck because they're getting this data by watching WHEN you stop watching a video. Video's automatically play, so the default signal when you swipe past something is "no".

> If you are independent and including others in your research, you are only bound by general medical ethics.

The National Research Act and the Belmont report were created in opposition to this attitude. Henry Beecher led the fight (in the 1960s, preceeding the NRA and Belmont report) to make including others in your research be subject to research ethics, not just medical ethics, and to enforce this with regulation. The regulation was focused on institutions because at the time research was done by institutions. Now, post-internet and post-genetics revolution, we're retreading the same ground but with different details. A different approach is therefore warranted, but a free-for-all is just as unacceptable as it was in the early 20th century. I understand that this is unwelcome and is certainly inconvenient, but institutional science succeeded in regulating itself, and biohacking can do the same.
