I've learned a lot about MQTT while setting up Home Assistant, and Mosquitto is a pretty important part of my Home Assistant installation. I use it to control all of my Zigbee devices via "zigbee2mqtt" (buttons, switch modules, etc.), and also a smart kettle running Tasmota [1]. I also added a little patch to Tasmota [2] so that my kettle responds with `418 I'm a teapot` [3]

I agree. This kind of skepticism-on-theoretical-grounds might have been interesting/valuable a year ago. At this point additional evidence for the vaccine's safety mounts every day as more people receive it. Evidence for the vaccine's efficacy is also mounting[1]. Claims to the contrary would need some extraordinary evidence to back them up.

Something I heard from Shepard Smith cleared this up for me the other day- when talking about a potential shortage of “medical professionals” in NY due to the vaccine mandate, he also provided a statistic that 98+% of doctors and 95+% of nurses are vaccinated. This is a breakdown that I appreciated, as I value the health-related decisions of doctors more than the entire category of “medical professionals”.
Yup. These platforms are all perfectly 100% fine with hatred as long as it's the right kind.
> Finally, I think that gemini together with small companion protocols and file formats (e.g. amb[1], uxntal/subleq) are fully compatible with permacomputing concepts and this, in my naive but very tired view of the current state of the internet, is enough to understand what is good and what is bad.

In practice, where is any of this? Where's the screen reader support? How many blind and deaf people are using Gemini? This is like building a bike lane in a truck parking lot; it makes me doubt anyone will use it and makes me think that it's air cover for the truck parking lot folks to make their parking lot seem more accessible than it actually is.

What is "permacomputing"? It's not listed in any of the goals of the Gemini project. And why do we need amb or uxntal/subleq architectures? Is there a rational chain of thought here that justifies these ideas which doesn't depend on moral philosophy?

(Note that that's my other problem with Gemini. There's a lot of talk of good, evil, producers, consumers, publishers, and all, but the terms are poorly defined and the motivations hand-wavily justified. None of the actual motivational documents regarding the protocol bring these up either, they are just brought up in discussion _around_ Gemini, which is frustrating because it feels like there's a mismatch between the advertised uses of Gemini (and why a user would care) and the concerns of actual Gemini users.)
There have been such artists before.

Le Pétomane

Joseph Pujol (June 1, 1857 – August 8, 1945), best known by his stage name Le Pétomane (/ləˈpɛtəmeɪn/,[citation needed] French pronunciation: [ləpetɔman]), was a French flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer. He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to seemingly fart at will. His stage name combines the French verb péter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". The profession is referred to as "flatulist", "farteur", or "fartiste".[1]

It was a common misconception that Joseph Pujol passed intestinal gas as part of his stage performance. Rather, Pujol was allegedly able to "inhale" or move air into his rectum and then control the release of that air with his anal sphincter muscles. Evidence of his ability to control those muscles was seen in the early accounts of demonstrations of his abilities to fellow soldiers.[2]

As we grow, our goal remains the same: empower developers and businesses to ship better products faster by eliminating DevOps. We’re working to end the tyranny of complexity forced on developers by cloud providers who’d rather sell certifications than focus on developer productivity.

> unapproachable to those with no context on the subject,

OTOH, if you do have context on the subject, it can be profound. It's a bit like certain gamer groups who have subreddits and generate tons of content that outsiders don't get (Warhammer, Genshin Impact, Hololive, ApexLegends... these are few groups I do not understand but they seem to generate a ton of their own internal content.)

Aesthetic art is a product of a particular need, and it will always have admirers. IKEA sells tons of pretty art. People will flock to Versailles to see the Mona Lisa. An occasional brave soul will do a long-viewing of Rothko. That kind of art is for the masses, and historically commissioned pieces in public have been just that. And it hasn't gone away: murals, sculptures in parks, installations at large government buildings.

What people are focusing on here is completely different.

It's a bit ignorant to criticize art that is outside your context. I have the right to say "Warhammer memes are childish bullshit," but it is ignorant.

Much like vegan-bashing, people love to rip on "post modern" art without really knowing much about it. Perhaps there is a legitimate claim that some hot new artist is "classically untrained" so they "actually" suck. Is that true if their art resonates with the current culture? I say, "no."

EDIT: I have attempted to study "postmodernism" many times over the last 30+ years (for fun) since I graduated college. I've failed every time. I don't like to use the term anymore because I can't really explain it to any real depth other then banal platitudes like "nothing has meaning."

EDIT2: I find "take the money and run" to be a brilliant piece of contemporary art. It is so on the nose for today's culture: conniving, ironic, duplicitive, a rip off, ... I think it spurs conversation about the monetary value of art that has been brewing for decades. Heck, even the monetary value of what museums should EXPECT from an artist. That's a big one I'd like to talk about. What if EVERY artist did this from now on? How do you prevent it? Should you? How do artists that put in massive physical effort feel about this? Screwed?

I’ve recently gained an interest in computer architecture and systems programming in general after some high performance computing projects. Have been hearing about RISC-V from a distance, and am wondering if delving into it would be one of the best ways to satisfy this interest and gain some valuable knowledge/skills at the same time.
But we have noticed problems with it.

https://openvaers.com/covid-data
One major issue was that in the beginning of this year we started with one dose, then went to a second dose a few months later, and then a third dose is starting to be recommended now a few months after that.

There are some serious evidence to back this up. A study done around early summer found that only about 50% of those that have taken two doses had any detectable traces of a defense, which was one of the reason that a third dose had to be added. By winter we don't know how effective the 2 dose or 3 dose will be.

To me that is where the focus of skepticism should be right now.
That’s irrelevant. The AirTag opens a link in Safari, and allows you to run efficiently arbitrary JavaScript in the page that’s opened (iCloud).

Containers and cookie jars don’t help you if the malicious code is running inside the container your sensitive data lives in.

In this specific example, if the iCloud cookies are marked as JS visible, and there no content security policy preventing inline JS, then the JS injected could grab the iCloud cookie and exfiltrate it to an attacker domain.
The average person is (perhaps unfortunately) not the judge of art. Duchamp signed a urinal and stuck it in a museum over a hundred years ago, and the average person certainly didn't consider that art, and today the stupid thing is absolutely in art history textbooks with Michelangelo.

The praise is different, to be sure. Michelangelo's work is a achievement, technically, historically, and artistically. Scrawling "my kid could do this" in marker and hanging it in a museum isn't trying for any of that, but it does provoke thought and emotion and discussion, and that's what it's trying successfully to do. The artist does not expect anyone to say "wow, such amazing technical talent, they must have studied calligraphy for years, they are surely Michelangelo reborn." Is it great art? Well, I'm not an art critic, I dunno, but if I saw it in a museum it'd probably make me think and feel more than some random landscape.
The problem with climate change is that the average person can't see the effects until long past the point when the problem can be easily solved. It's not at all comparable to social media.

With early variants 60-70% may have very well been sufficient. As we get variants that can spread more easily that raises the bar on what we need for herd immunity.

> Are the lessons we could apply to lead sustainable lifestyles without abandoning the progress of science, and all the health improvements it brought?

I have met very few people who try to live sustainable lifestyles but actively deny science. I agree that science can help inform and enhance how we live sustainably, but the way this question is posed makes it seem that those who live sustainably also deny reality. (I dont doubt they exist, I know a few, but they are the minority of folks who live this way).

This is a sales pitch for Render more than anything else.

It's a managed platform that handles some of the infrastructure for you. That's fine.

However, it's hardly revolutionary, and this blog post certainly doesn't illuminate any "not-so-hidden costs." Further, it's more of an indictment of Kubernetes than it is AWS.

Yeah, glossy paper (or glass) leading to reflections can be bad. The worst one I’ve seen is printed at A5 size (on an A4 page…) and then placed behind glass, outside. Basically useless!

I would imagine that NFC requires too much actual hardware, whereas printing is cheap and common.
The defining character of impressionists, was their ability to paint in the moment. Prior to this period, mixing paints was difficult, and most art was produced in a studio. Industrialization gave readily mixed paints that lasted. This gave people the ability to paint outside, but since they would only have a few hours to capture a scene due to lighting, it encouraged essentially "Speed Paints." From there, its all about being able to capture as much of the subject in the least amount of effort.

Art and technology and extremely linked. We take things like photo realistic paintings for granted, but these are only possible because artists can paint from a color photograph. Vermeers are celebrated because he was able to paint in a photo realistic manner before photos. But he was only able to do that with a complex setup of mirrors to essentially project an image on the canvas (or the eye using a split view setup).

The first scientist told me that practically no non-Pfizer labs have looked at it. That is not robust. Usually this stuff gets reviewed by everyone, but in this case, technical info is not available to other scientists who wish to learn more about the vaccine - according to her.

I hope they have published their critique of the mRNA technology in the last decade because the technology has been around for a long time. It was just adapted for COVID-19 in the last year.

My guess is they have not said a peep about mRNA until this became political.

> Throwing Promises for Suspense is basically Algebraic Effects

I wish Dan Abramov hadn't made this analogy[0], they're nothing like algebraic effects. The core idea behind algebraic effects is more similar to something like dependency injection if it was generally possible to "deasync"[1] things in JS, except it leverages dynamic scoping instead of lexical scoping. The Suspense thing is closer to those jokes where the punchline is something along the lines of the programmer saying "have you tried to restart it?"

> someone's getting paid for it and it may as well be me (if I don't have a better offer).

And maybe that person is worse at it than you, or without you they don't have enough people with the right skills to succeed.

> In your horrible analogy, I suppose what I mean is something like (but come on, not remotely close to!) 'why are we burning books and looting art, this is terrible, oh well someone else will if not me, and hey, I like art', but then 'you want to do a holocaust?! No, that is absurdly too far, whistle blow'.

Fat lot of good whistle-blowing would do in that example.

There's also the aspect where the last step was too far for you, but you helped take every step before that which enabled that last step to be taken without you.

If your attitude is "someone's getting paid for it and it may as well be me," you probably should just drop idea that you could change things from the inside, since it amounts to a BS rationalization to take the money.

In Alberta, the <20% of individuals who remain unvaccinated make up >90% of ICU admissions. ICUs are so full surgeries are being postponed, resources are being diverted to COVID ICUs, and they may have to start triaging ICU patients soon because of the lack of capacity, all of which affects not only the unvaccinated but everyone needing medical care in the province. Letting the situation run its course will kill and has killed way more than just the anti-vax.

One point I’d make is CPTSD is not necessarily ongoing trauma, but unresolved trauma esp in childhood since that’s an inescapable position. It’s a little bit of a chicken or egg problem as trauma can also cause symptomologies similar to ADHD, just as ADHD can exacerbate traumas.

For me I’ve just found it’s helped when finding treatment methodologies for pure ADHD to be able to do a differential diagnosis - ADHD is at least much more commonly diagnosed or thought of as a possibility while CPTSD is a relatively unknown.

Very well said. I've been using React since it came out, and have been pushing back on Hooks since they came out.

Class components are dead simple. A class, a setState method, this.props, this.state, and some lifecycle methods. SO easy for anyone to understand.

Function components with hooks are not. A whole new (and unnecessary) paradigm; some mysterious hooks engine that needed new ESLint rules to be created just so people can keep the weird, delicate balance in place; hooks having their own timing problems, requiring usage of useRef which the React team tries to get people to avoid; etc.

Frontend codebases used to have several layers, with React just being one of the thin ones. Now, nearly the entire frontend codebase is inside React world. I'm not a fan of this direction.
Your blog has a fantastic design btw. The world could use more designs like it. What theme did you use?
Yes - Those were my supporting points. It should go without saying that popular things are often not true.

> The whole thing has been functional programming from the start, if you know what algebraic effects are then the functional underpinning should be obvious to you as well as anyone with the slightest brush with FP.

That's a lot of hot air. There is nothing functional about React. Algebraic effects represent impure behavior in a functional programming language, such as input and output, exceptions, nondeterminism etc. all treated in a generic way. Impure behavior, including algebraic effects, is best avoided in functional programming.

If you do some research and then want to publish it in a journal, there is a large scope of work on the publishing side which includes hosting. Scihub just redistributes what journals have already spent the money to vet, edit, proof and publish. The "cost of access" is paying for all of the aforementioned work. So there is a lot more to do, and pay for, that is not being captured by people looking from the sidelines going "why is nobody giving me free cake?"

If all you want to do is say "we have pre-pubs on a free FTP server", sure, that's cheap as hell. But it doesn't replace the journals, it doesn't address research funding models, it doesn't move scientific progress forward.
