I use vim bindings for shell, so doing dangerous things I usually open it in edit mode and have to physically do :wq to execute. Much less chance of being destructive, and you can easily drop the output into clipboard or a file from here.

Otherwise, simply having a mindset of, I'm doing dangerous things also goes a long way.

For me personally, full time work from home is crappy, because of the missing social aspect of work.

But 1 day per week in the office and 4 from home have really really been great.
>, public toilets in places like highway rest-stops and train stations get 24 hour maintenance.

Yes that's logical. In any case, I was replying to a specific point by the gp (tda) about workplaces denying bathrooms to truckers and why it happens. It isn't just a random act of cruelty but the fact that office workers don't like being abused by some drivers that leave them with a disgusting mess.

The point is that the dehumanization is a 2-way phenomenon. Truckers don't like to be disrespected by the office banning bathroom use. And likewise, the office workers don't like being disrespected by (a minority of) truckers and be forced to clean after them.

In other words, there's an implied social contract of being considerate to others regarding shared bathroom use, and a minority of truckers break that contract. This is what causes the office to deny bathrooms to drivers. Office workers don't want to be unwilling janitors to clean the toilets because of drivers who don't care. Yes, more public bathrooms on highways that are constantly cleaned would lessen this problem.
I think a portmanteau requires every piece of the word to be part of another word, and semantics from each component word are partially maintained by the new meaning. Malapropism is what I was looking for, though - thanks to you both.
Our fundamental disagreement seems to be that you believe in equality of outcome and I believe in equality of opportunity.

If there's examples of certain groups not getting loans when they should qualify, of people being put in jail when they don't commit crimes, or one group of people being targeted for execution by the police, that sounds horrific and wrong so please point it out with data.

I've nicely requested repeatedly for you to please provide one example of a law or government policy that systemically discriminates against a specific group of people so we can fix it. I haven't seen a valid response.

As a closing message, I really don't want to get into a suffering competition here: but other group's history is also filled with being victims of literal genocides, mass kidnappings and slavery, starvation and squalor and the most horrific living and working conditions, the most savage wars in human history, etc.

The only safe place today for a whistleblower is China or Russia.

They can kidnap you like they did to the Venezuelan diplomat (violating the Vienna Convention) who was tasked to help secure food and medicine around the US embargo and sanctions. They can force the landing of your plane on friendly territory of a countries head of state like they did to Bolivia's Presidents Evo Morales plane over Austria (violating numerous UN and diplomatic treaties). They can try to kill you as the CIA planned for Assange as they do regularly (look up the Orwellian Disposition Matrix).

We live in a different era of empire where the corporate media and the corporate journalists are the ones calling for censorship.

The media used to "actively" report on matters like the Pentagon Papers, Church Commission, My Lai Massacre.

Decorated CIA officers like John Stockwell who exposed genocides and massacres in non-white countries were not muzzled (although denied an income from their whistleblowing). Daniel Ellsberg was free to roam.

It seems that the journalists who actively cover the machinations of the national surveillance state are primarily entrepreneurs (substack etc.) and not part of the corporate media apparatus.

Maybe because they had already decided to stick a particular bread of dog. Border collies are far from representative of the species. They are built for a very particular task, one that is far from universal. There are many things for which they are not suited.
Speaking of LIMIT. Another potential "footgun", but with SELECT, is "select * from table limit1". Instead of limiting the number of rows to 1, you aliased the table as "limit1".
That would be truly kafkian!
>It's still a win if you don't have a facebook account.

That's making the assumption that Facebook isn't just going to eventually force everyone to a "meta" account that spans all of their properties. Which is exactly what I expect they're going to do.
I always feel like journald was not fully complete before major distros swapped over to systemd. I like the problems it was trying to solve and I get the reasons journald went with a binary database file.

I’ve personally been burned multiple times at work by log monitors missing log messages due to logrotate. It isn’t often, but often enough I’m glad for the solution.

The thing that hurt was that they did all this work for better structured data and then the only remote logging solution (that was really usable) at the time was syslog. Remote logging has gotten better depending on what sort of central logging vendor you’re using.
The point is that if you have N independent boolean random variables X1 ... Xn, establishing a lower bound on the probability that some proper subset of the Xi are true doesn't provide any useful lower bound on the probability they all are true.

Why couldn't this have instead been fixed by having Firefox listen on both, and then having remote control check X11 first and then if it didn't find it there, then fall back to D-Bus? Wouldn't that have fixed the problem that motivated the change, but without breaking the use case with X11 forwarding?
This phenomenon is not exclusive to the left. Trump populism works exactly the same way. For some reason, only the left is called to take responsibility for it.
Interesting collision of the idea with the covid era. During an outbreak you’d want students to have a private airspace to go to and the possibility of ventilation.

Update: from another comment, Munger designed a similar building in Michigan. It has great reviews!

But, one of the top ones was “great until pandemic”. Adding this to clarify that, contra other comments, I don’t necessarily think Munger was mistaken. But events have made the idea unfortunate.

https://www.veryapt.com/ApartmentReview-a7222-munger-graduat...
"The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly."

Absolutely amazing
Are there no laws against this in the U.S? In Norway there are building codes that prohibits bedrooms without a real window.
That seems spectacularly awful--although there's probably been an overall trend in US college dorms (not that I've made a real study of it) towards small single rooms with common areas in general.
This scares me too. So many people seem to be eager to believe that the people around them are one dimensional cartoon villains.

It seems like some people have a lot of trouble with uncertainty. They have a need to decisively put things in a nice well defined box, even when there isn't sufficient evidence to do so. I think they might just be unable to say, "you know what, I'm not sure". It's much easier to say " well the news said xyz with their big flashy headlines, so that must be true. Shun the nonbelievers!"

It would be interesting to know if blind or blind-folded dogs also exhibit this behaviour.

My intuition is that head-tilting behaviour is more analogous to how we (humans) look up and the to left/right when concentrating. That feels less like augmenting the visual data and more like blocking visual input while we focus compute on recall and more complex thought.
Isn’t part of the accusation that he directly assisted in the actual extraction of the data by providing guidance? If so, I wouldn’t assume he’ll be acquitted.

There is also precedent for closed trials and sealed/only presented in chambers evidence in states secrets cases which allow a lot of shenanigans to go on.

It’s entirely possible they could railroad him.

It’s also possible they couldn’t. Either way if it was me, not sure I’d go willingly back into that lions den after the amount of BS and effort already thrown my way.
>Martin Luther King Jr. were among the great champions of progressive ideas in the 20th century. But they didn’t exist within an insular, self-validating community whose values and assumptions were often at odds with those of the rest of society.

Okay I was going to take this seriously but, saying MLK wasn't 'at odds with society'???

"While many people of all races admired King and Parks in the 1960s, the majority of Americans did not and found the civil rights movement both wrong and unnecessary.

I'm sorry people are at odds with tiny changes in their work place and there is schools of thought to implement change in workplaces to deal with that resistance, but an ideology around 'we need to and can do better by changing' is supposed to not generate that resistance? I think he's the one that needs less time on twitter if he's taking terminally online people as if their represtives of their respective movement.

"Munger Hall, in comparison, is a single block housing 4,500 students with two entrances"

> an 11-story, 1.68-million-square-foot structure that would house up to 4,500 students, 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.

> Munger maintains the small living quarters would coax residents out of their rooms and into larger common areas, where they could interact and collaborate.

That seems unlikely.
Yeah, that was definitely one of the worst re-branding debacles in IT history as far as I can tell.

The FB / Meta thing may be a bit different, but it definitely doesn't jump out to me as "Wow, what a Good Idea!" ya know?
I can confirm that it is also a problem here in Spain https://www.elmundotoday.com/2021/10/la-falta-de-camioneros-... and there was a huge backlog in licensing even before the pandemic. (Driver licensing here is a shitshow in any case.)

But then Spain didn't tell drivers from all over Europe that they are undesirable and unwanted, create a "hostile environment" for them and their families, and then dissolve our trading relationship with our most important partners.

Drivers also don't enjoy gambling with uncertain paperwork, peeing in bottles and crapping next to hedgerows as they wait for endless border queues, so why would they choose those routes when instead they can drive somewhere else where they're not hated, resented and officially unwelcome?
Are you sure you didn't mean">=0"?.
> I had unrestricted internet access as a child and turned out fine.

The statistical power of an n=1 study applied to a population many orders of magnitude larger is not very strong.

That aside, many, if not most children below a certain age lack the requisite ability to discern danger/non-danger with a fidelity that would satisfy their parents who have moral and legal responsibility in that domain. I admit there's a tension between privacy and the duty to protect.
Are we so post truth already that we are calling what Manning did a “crime”???
Yes, in an ideal world but so many companies don't value the small details which can make everything nicer. I have spent the day trying to work out why a container runs in one environment and not another. I still don't because basics like easy log access, dns debugging tools etc. are not all part of Kubernetes.

OK, this isn't about breaking an entire network but small details can be super helpful. I have only found a small number of companies who seem to care about error messages.
Nim took some inspiration from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family, notably for its type system. It had an original goal of having a small and simple core, with a powerful macro system allowing extensions where needed, but the language core definitely grew over the years. It's still way smaller that C#/Java/C++. Might interest OP.

They'd all be better served by turning it over to professionals, but they have to do it themselves.

The thing that puzzled me about the Meta presentation was that Zuckerburg could hire the best hair and makeup people in the world to at least help him look less creepy, but he doesn't. There's really no excuse for that. The look hurts his goals, but he sticks with it.

And the university has to stump up the other $1,300 million.

And the investor will probably be dead before anybody can see the effect on students.
It varies from place to place but, typically for a room in a single-family home to be considered a bedroom, it needs 2 egress points, the second usually being a window. I imagine similar codes are in place for multi-unit buildings.

This proposed building has 2 entrances for 4000 people. I cannot imagine it will pass fire code, or could effectively be evacuated in an emergency. Astounding that someone thought it was a good idea.
>"the murder was silently condoned by a large fraction on the left"

Implying that someone 'silently condoned' something is very convenient because it's basically impossible to prove or disprove, it's like accusing someone of thoughcrime.

I have, although nothing deadly serious. I guess that SQL statements in a text file are not really the correct management tool for a production database. If we are needing to do these sorts of things, we should have an admin app or tool that can ensure we do things correctly.

I haven't built one so I'm not complaining!
No kidding! We just went through 2 years where this building would've been the absolute worst to grapple with. Imagine those 4,500 being told to sit out the pandemic in their rooms.

How can they miss the problem when the worst case scenario for some idiotic design like this happened last year!
>with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly.

How is this even allowed from an engineering perspective? Unless his design and blueprints are perfect, which I highly doubt, it’s insane that no changes could be made. Is this common practice in architecture? I’ve never seen anything like it.
No windows? No natural light whatsoever? That's gotta have a serious negative impact on the mental health (and possibly sleep patterns?) of the students.

Not to mention that in case of a fire, all the people rushing to the two exits will get into a stampede, and those who remain in their rooms will suffocate, with no windows to open for fresh air or to be rescued from?

The evidence for small replicators is that we now have large replicators. Whatever the absolute probabilities are, the relative probability of spontaneous emergence of small replicators is much, much larger than large replicators. Therefore, large replicators most likely evolved from small replicators.

Put another way: the most likely ancestor of all replicators was probably close to the smallest molecule that works.
as someone who attended ucsb and has also spent a week in a bedroom without a window I really hope this doesn't happen.

it'll really mess the kids up. I felt awful waking up in that room. not having any natural light to cue you in to what time it is forces you to turn on the light to wake up. waking up to artificial light is an absolute miserable experience and if I had to do it for a year I would leave... of course all of these kids would have already signed a lease for the year and can't just afford to call that money a loss and live somewhere else.
