Deezer has added a "don't recommend this song again" button. I used a couple of times only but I feel that my recommendations have been indeed improved.

Before, I had to skip the songs that I did not like, and Deezer was keep putting them back in my 'Flow' a few days later. That was pretty annoying.
As far as I understand, the next generation of heavy lift vehicles (i.e. Starship, New Glenn, SLS) will not allow us to do better than a Hohmann transfer. And that would still mean waiting for the launch window to Jupiter (period 1.1 years) and a transfer of 3.7 years. So Clipper's cruise of 5.5 years really isn't so bad.

Future space probes will likely continue to save delta-v by taking a slightly slower trajectory with gravity assists.
Thanks for the big effort post! I'm on the Dutch (well, Belgian) side of things. It was interesting getting your perspective.
Regarding policing, I doubt that better legislation is going to improve things. I remember my brothers being so fed up of stolen bikes that they parked them at the police station and they kept being stolen. Infrastructure makes the biggest difference.

A note on the butt pains thing. The vast vast majority of bike trips are < 30mins. And people that do have a longer commute tend to go for more expensive bikes, e.g. with suspension. There are still those that go full sport bike and outfit, but you tend to see more pedelec ebikes than those on the bike highways these days.

Personally I did away with the car altogether and went with an electric cargo bike (the kind with a hopper in front). It cost as much as a small car, but it is comfortable, even on the super common cobblestones here. Suspension and a good seat go a long way in avoiding butt pains.
Also: It was butter, the Japanese thought, which made Europeans so peculiarly rank: bata-kusai they called them (using the English word for the foul substance): “butter-stinkers." The terms Bata-kusai, “stinking of butter,” is still a derogatory term for things obnoxiously Western.

According to the website:

That difference is easily captured by the cases where you don't skip that track. If you have listened to a track two times and on the third case skip it, then that's "I don't feel like this now"; if you have been offered that track twice and skipped it both times immediately, then you probably hate this.

Or, it's because in the US (because I assume you talk predominately about the US), there are institutions, laws, culture etc which has been pushing the US society in that direction (and/or being less able to handle the continuous change happening everywhere).

Don’t take my word for it, take the word of one of the founders:
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/my-resignation-from-the-int...

“The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded”

I don’t argue they are a mouthpiece for the democrat party, only that this article supports the idea of “repression, censorship and ideological conformity” being a problem.

90% of the dates and events they talk about are prior to 2018. I have no evidence that they “had this story available to them” in 2018, at least in the sense of having been investigated and written in 2018. My point is why investigate it and write it now, and not then? There seems to be no significant new information that’s come out since 2018 that might have led to this article - to quote the article,“ For decades, Manchin has profited from a series of coal companies that he founded during the 1980s.” - did the intercept only just realize coal might be bad, or was it that they didn’t realize that the (democrat) senator of a state where coal is economically important might have historical links to that industry?

[edit] I also don’t claim that this is a problem specific to democrats, though the large majority of mainstream journalists are provably democrats rather than republicans - exactly the same thing happens in republican leaning publications. My point is that we should think not just about what is written in an article, but also what wasn’t and maybe should have been?
Right. This is exactly the mistake most hr and managers are doing in real world.
>> that the map of North America should be dotted with microstates

So who gets which microstate? Which point in history should be selected as the point whereby the name of the resident people is attached to a particular patch of land? These peoples moved around, they migrated and conquered one another for millennia. Does the arrival of Europeans suddenly lock them into whatever territory they had at the moment of first contact? Making the groups smaller risks dividing communities and cutting off people from the most lucrative claims processes. I'm sure the people of northern BC don't want to be cut off from the claims in the south, the claims involving the most valuable lands.

BC, and Canada more widely, is struggling to determine who should even be at the table to negotiate. Traditional territories overlap. Blood claims are often based on shaky evidence. Something as slim as a single forged letter can expand or contract a community by thousands. If treaties or settlements are going to be signed, by who? Are the people in charge of various groups today in any better position to sign permanent deals than their ancestors were a few hundred years ago? We are generations away from any real conclusion to these issues.

Seconding this. The Scout Mindset is the best book I've read this year. Life changing. Note that it's more aimed at helping you recognized (and defeat) your own biases than help you with other people's biases. I think it will help with extending empathy to them, though, recognizing the mechanisms through which they appear "stupid".

I had this in my "eventually" pile (worthwhile but not immediately compelling), until I read this review by Scott Alexander: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-the-scout-...
True. Last time I had an experience with an HP Color LaserJet was in 2009. It has expensive consumables, totally fragile, and often causes problems.

Replaced it with a Brother Color Laser MFC (with fax!) and everything just went swimmingly well.

Last I heard (2019), the HP had problems again and GA Dept just trashed the thing. The Brother was still working well.
You're forgetting that there are other employees and other firms in the world. Either class is free to look outside the current relationship if they are unhappy, and this can rely entirely on subjective judgement.

If you see a bunch of people who are paid more than you, you can judge that you'll be able to find another employer who will pay you what you want, but only if you have a reasonable overview of what the salaries are in the system.

Same goes in the boss side, he can decide whether he wants to hit or stick.

It's no secret that there's a connection between emotional states and body chemistry (neurochemistry included.) I suggest it's a two way street of communication, maybe in the manner of a feedback loop.

Why shouldn't thoughts influence the body? If the body can cause thoughts, then surely it could go both ways such that thoughts effect changes in the body. Because of course thoughts are a bodily process.

It seems to me that dualism is in error and consequently has done marked damaged to our understanding of ourselves. Thoughts are not non-physical and neither are the mind & body distinct or separable.
Recently in the Netherlands there was a small case against YouTube because they were removing Covid related content.

I don't want to argue about the specific content, but Google made it very clear they just remove content they don't like.

So they admit they censor content. And because it is their platform you can't do anything about it.
What is that crowd that you mention? BTW, what do you use the laptop for?
Flag the article. I noticed this too.
> Learning to read Japanese just by staring at printed characters is a lot harder; it's totally doable but it really gets hard beyond a few frequent and graphically salient characters.

It might be your personal experience, and I understand that mnemonics don't work out with everyone and some have better muscle memory and worse imagination. However, it's disingenuous to say that writing is a lot harder. I had no problem whatsoever learning meanings of 1500 kanji in 60 days, 2 hours a day. Other people have success too.
I've never had the problem with Finnish rap, but at one point the discover weekly was full of death metal. Also, for some reason they pushed really hard Ricky's Hand by Fad Gadget (awful, but at the time they had a well hidden ban button), Swamp Thing by Chameleons (kind of OK, but don't they have other songs?) and Love Will Save You by Swans (kind of OK, but do have long discography so why always that one song?)
It’s interesting isn’t it, why did we stop talking about power users and catering to their needs?
I can't rate using 5 stars, it's either like, dislike or don't care, so 1 star 5 stars or no rating. With Tidal that's either listen to <30 seconds, skip or maybe listen through the full song, maybe fave or go back and replay. So they don't even need a dislike button. They just need to look at user actions if the algorithms are really optimized for tailoring content to the user's preferences, rather than pushing sponsored content in order to make money really fast. I don't even look at their recomendations (they're BS), but I do play artist radio if I happen to like something. That's how I found about Toshiko Akiyoshi a few days ago while listening to some artist's or track's radio.

This is the result of selling "development boards" as quasi customer ready products and outsourcing the costly development to the community. Any device that isn't 100% upstream and supporting everything you want to do with it via upstream sources is a waste of your time as a user and developer.
What makes you think nobody has researched it?

AFAICT there's quite a lot of study on the phenomenon, and it's a lot more complex than just expectation bringing about physiological change. Some portion of it is likely action of the immune system, general "regression to the mean" effects, and some of it is that patients who are receiving treatment are likely to report milder symtoms and less pain (so there may not always be a physiological change, just a psychological one).

Either way, I don't think you can count the placebo effect as a medical miracle waiting to be exploited, or as something that medical science just ignores.
Asteroid mining first - we will need processing and refinement infrastructure in space, to start building facilities that aren't in earth orbit, so they don't pose radioactive threats. It's thought that there is a lot of uranium and other nuclear fuels available in asteroids throughout the solar system.

Once asteroid mining kicks off, all sorts of possibilities open up that are overly expensive or dangerous for earth based enterprises.

Chances are this is not about “purpose” and has nothing to do with the job itself, this is only about you.

Probably your motivation is/was not to fulfill your needs, but to get external approval (of parents, friends, important people etc), to reach some ideal picture you created for yourself etc.

Even now you’re asking for different pictures of other people in similar circumstances - to get external validation of possible solutions.

This is not the way to find internal drive.

Work this out with a good therapist. It’s helping me so far.
The problem with tech is its highly monopolistic nature . Every tech sub-sector experiences a short period of chaotic growth and then The One gets chosen to dominate with the praises of the rest of the gang. The lack of competition in the tech sector is astounding on a global scale.
The number one characteristic of uninhabitable software as above defined, in my experience would be the inability of people touching it to look past today, and past themselves.

There is a degree of hack that should be unacceptable. If you're using what's at hand and not what's preferable, you should stop to think. If you're rushing to meet a deadline, open a new branch marked "hacked-to-deadline". If you're using something you're proficient with instead of learning what is commonly used in such a situation, you're not a hacker, but a worker.

A hacker is an aspiration, and a noble discipline. Meaning you are not to decide if you're a hacker, but the people you respect as such should decide for you.

And discipline is key word in there. A discipline is both a pursuit and a technique. Seeking and sadhana. Feeling AND understanding.

There is no place for workers in an open-source project. There is place for goals, instrumental goals, hackers and automation. Explain what you're doing, have clarity. Clarity leads to less features, more usefulness, better documentation that isn't confused wrt/ what the code is actually doing.

Work it out in a draft branch, scrap it and code it again the way it is required to be to remain clear, driven by one clear approach to a goal that is well defined. If you leave a placeholder, clearly mark it as such in place, and in the backlog as a FIXME.

Do what you'd want others working on the thing to be doing, leave time to hack on what titillates your inner joy, as well. Eat the frog, but have cake ready.

This kind of discipline is demanding. If it's sounds too demanding then your perception has not graduated to hacker levels. Hackers love complexity. It is a thing to neatly pack into your requirement space, a cute puzzle, and a lovely time.

Hackers love constraints. Those are the bedrock on which we build continental machines of universal magnitudes of influence.

Hackers love requirements. Once the problem space is well defined, and goals are clearly approachable, those are the things that drop, one after the other falling off the wagon. Hackers love to get rid of ill-conceived requirements.

But that last part you have to graduate to, with discipline. If you think you're there, you should be able to think outside yourself, defend your discipline and it's application in your code. And others will decide if you're making sense or not. You can not be it.
Criticizing Analogue for saying "no emulation" is a bit unfair. Everyone knows that emulation colloquially means "software emulation." It's really just finding the smallest thing on which to attack them, while seemingly claiming a legitimate basis for that attack.

Every company has to do marketing. Marketing is part of the equation for success. If Analogue has bad marketing you probably wouldn't even know about them. There are hundreds of obscure retro hardware projects that are still yet unknown. It seems you are just penalizing them for making an effort at being successful.

The reality is that Analogue makes quality products and sell them at a reasonable price. People get mad at them because their production capacity is low. Try building a hardware company yourself with a niche market, then tell me how easy it is to do inventory management. It's not their fault their products are so good that there is huge demand for them in the secondary market. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. That really shows there is an unfair bias against them.

By the way, I really like the MiSTer project but it does not support hardware cartridges. Analogue does. When MiSTer supports real media then it will be a viable alternative. For now it doesn't and Analogue fills that niche.
> Why do you say heat pumps only work in well insulated houses with large radiators?

Because heat pumps operate at a lower flow temperature than boilers. Smaller radiators designed to operate at hotter temperatures won't bring your house up to the target heat temperature operating at lower temperatures. They often need replacing. [1]

Trials of heat pumps in existing UK housing have found it difficult giving away heat pumps for free, because of all the extra work required for them to operate properly in the house. [2]

> Heat pumps are ~3x as efficient as the best gas furnaces so why would you need a better insulated house?

Heat pumps in comparison to conventional boilers are meant to be on all the time at a lower temperature, as they take a long time to bring a house up to target temperature.

They depend on good insulation, otherwise the heat never accumulates, similar to if you leave a freezer door ajar, it will never freeze.

> So why would you waste all that energy converting from renewable electricity to hydrogen then burning hydrogen (which is not super efficient anyway)?

At times, renewable energy drives electricity prices negative. We haven't got many ways to store this when it happens, converting water to hydrogen would be a good candidate, which can be delivered using existing gas infrastructure.

> Plus, heat pumps already work at scale

Not in existing UK housing, which would require major changes (insulation, underfloor heating, larger radiators), before they work.

Ah yes, exactly what I need. I tried to create something similar in the past with some grub magic, but this seems easier to maintain :D
LTS means active support (call/email to fix issue), what Adopt does is just builds from branches that receive commits/fixes from other vendors/people.

They don't have TCK, they do their own tests on the builds. But you could probably do such builds yourself, everyone has access to openjdk github repo.

I would call it more like Long Term Build.
It's not silent, you do declare that you want it released; you just do it before and it applies to all early returns. For example

MUTEX_LOCK_GUARD(&lock)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
if (a[i] == x)
return i;
return -1;

And the implementation: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/include/qemu/lockab... (after inlining, the abstraction is completely zero cost).

I agree with your assessment. A common miss conception I’ve seen visiting foreigners have about Dutch bikes are because they used bad rental bikes while visiting. Most of the rental bikes are quite bad; lack of gears, awkward dimensions and incredibly heavy.
> as the Java 8 -> 9 migration was very hairy due to modules

Bytecode changes too. Java 9 presents a hard limit for upgrading a lot of older libraries that are using bytecode generation / manipulation.
Nuclear power including disasters like Chernobyl kill less people per GWh than normal operation of coal plants. Shutting down nuclear plants which get replaced with fossil plants results in both less immediate safety (even if you'd expect the next Chernobyl to be incoming here) and more environmental harm. Heck, even considering specific aspects like cancer and radioactivity, coal plants cause more cancer per GWh than nuclear including Chernobyl, and coal plants release more radiation (in fly ash that then lands on surface and/or gets breathed in) per GWh than nuclear plants including their leaks.

Your argument is a common misconception which is doing a lot of real harm to our world - while the perception is that nuclear is not safe and expensive to clean up, the reality is that fossil fuels are even less safe and even more expensive to clean up - I mean, we can't really figure out a reasonable way to clean up the greenhouse gas effects of historical fossil plants.

Like, I'm not saying that nuclear is free from side-effects, but the point is that burning fossil fuels for electricity is so extremely dirty in their normal operation that they overshadow any and all of the nuclear risks. If the expected result is that the gap will be filled with coal, then reducing nuclear power is both increasing direct risks to local people and also harming the environment; it's literally all drawbacks with no reasonable benefit.
People interested in the placebo effect should look up Joe Dispenza, the testimonials on YouTube are a good start. Ignore the self-proclaimed "skeptics" with knee-jerk reactions to the decorum, and to Joe Dispenza's credentials. He strikes me as sincere and the testimonials are definitely legit. It's very eye-opening how much the mind has an influence on the body. This should not be surprising, and made me think of stories of how voodoo curses work.
