> It's amusing when I say that 'I hate books'. But usually I read more (books) than my peers, I just don't like the form factor of the book. It's heavy, making notes is clunky compared to Kindle or any other ereader. I don't care about all that fluff and 'smell of paper'.

Paper books are a very different form factor, with some definite UI benefits over ebooks—though how important those are depends on the book, and what the reader's doing with it. The size & weight cost of paper books is, undeniably, huge, though. (also, they're impossible to pirate in bulk at ~zero cost...)

Put it this way: if ebook readers—the devices themselves—cost the same as paper books, but each one could only hold one book, and that one book couldn't be replaced, I don't think many people would choose them over paper books. The size and weight factors are a huge benefit, but they're also nearly all of the benefit, so if that's much reduced, there's not a lot left to recommend ebooks over paper books. Whatever's left of their advantages wouldn't have been anywhere near enough to create a market for them. Paper book UI is really good—but damn, are they heavy and bulky.

I still have fond memories of my 1000 dollar refurbished original Vaio Z. The one with a carbon fiber magnesium chassis and a Raid 0 SSD drive. Worked like a horse for years before going out. They don’t make laptops like that anymore!
Regarding refurbs, I’ve been buying refurbished gear for years without issue, however recently have had 2 bad experiences that make me question whether it’s worth it.

The first was a an official refurb 2018 MacBook Pro which ended up having a burnt out touchbar and battery issues a year later.

The second was an official Amazon refurb kindle, which never reached even half the battery life of a new model.

This is of course anecdata (these issues could have occurred with brand new items as well), but I would love to see blackblaze style reliability data from companies who buy large numbers of refurb laptops vs new stock.

I’m curious if there’s a correlation.

Maybe you want a physical KVM in between the two sources and the monitor? I tried to get a similar setup working locally (2 monitors, a macOS source and a Debian source, supporting all four input/output combinations) and couldn't find a satisfying software solution. There were a few people using ddcutil/ddccontrol/ddctool on Linux hosts to script changes on source changes, but (a) it was difficult/impossible to get DDC to work consistently with DP and HDMI outputs with first party Nvidia drivers (b) I couldn't find anything comparable on the macOS side.

Hardware KVMs weren't much better, but if you're willing to spend the money, and have enough DP sources on both sides, they aren't too bad.

Funny how hard/expensive it is to replicate the convenience of a nice analogue KVM with a bunch of VGA/DVI/PS2 I/O, a knob, an not much else...
> But standard time would be closer more often than daylight time.

On the eastern edges of current time zones. There's a 45-minute to 55-minute difference to cities on the western borders and many of them daylight time would be closer to "natural noon" than standard time.
This whole identity politics leads to circular results via games theory strategies:

- If I cannot question someone gender because its bigotry/discrimination etc

- then you cannot question race that I identify as

- and I can identify as any race that is treated preferentially

I identify as X, and if you dare to question it during the interview I will sue for discrimination.

In the end we end up with a layer of bureaucratic song and dance where everyone will identify as X race and Y gender and no one can say anything about the absurdity.

No it does not. Firefox/Gecko implements SVG on top of the same framework as their HTML engine. So do WebKit and Blink, and even EdgeHTML and Presto had their own SVG implementations back when they were actively developed.

Web standards effectively mandate the SVG and HTML implementations be implemented on top of the same DOM, because when you embed an SVG inside an HTML document, you're allowed to use CSS selectors like `html div svg path { stroke: blue }` and JavaScript that treats SVG elements as being part of the HTML document.

librsvg's API isn't nearly rich enough to allow this. It just takes a blob of bytes and turns it into Cairo draw commands. Gecko doesn't even use Cairo any more, it uses Skia. librsvg does have a DOM, but it's intentionally not exposed as part of the API, so that the DOM can be refactored at will without breaking anything.

> could we ever

"ever" is pretty open-ended. In principle, it's possible.

The most obvious problem is that if the maternal genes include any that are homozygous lethal or homozygous impaired, the embryo is also a no-go. This is in principle fixable using genetic editing using known techniques.

The more subtle biggest obstacles that I can think of of the top of my head is DNA methylation-related defects. If you are interested in a "quick soundbite example" of why this is important, I recommend reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prader%E2%80%93Willi_syndrome (note the 25% of cases when this is what happens when there are by bad luck two maternal copies - and zero paternal copies - of ONE chromosome, similarly Angelman's syndrome); all chromosomes -- or any other chromosome, it appears -- is embryonic lethal in humans.

The underlying mechanism is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_imprinting

There is not any known way to effectively edit DNA methylation. It doesn't take star-trek level phlebotonium to get there (it's physically possible, just not with current levels of tech).
Exactly. It's tit-for-tat. Moderate Democrats won't push back against the "community organizers" when they push highly questionable practices such as ballot harvesting or allowing ballots to be counted that arrive days after election day. Moderate Democrats also never pushed back on two decades of claims about election fraud and stolen elections from the likes of people like Terry McAuliffe and Stacey Abrams: https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/10/terry-mcauliffe-sprea...

That, in turn, has destroyed trust. Now, moderate Republicans won't push back against Trump's outrageous claims of voter fraud and stolen elections. Nobody trusts each other to act in good faith and do the right thing.
You're going a bit far the other way, I think. People definitely use containers because they're a nice workflow, and yes a lot of containers are shipping all in-house code. But to ignore the popularity of Docker Hub and claim that people aren't also jumping head first into containers because they make it easy to grab random unvetted binaries is a step to far.

> Your assertion makes as much sense as claiming that people use Linux distros a because they want to deploy random crap from the internet at the press of a button, just because they provide a package management system.

If a major reason were using Linux was for the AUR, then that'd be a valid criticism. In practice, most distros ship a package manager that only pulls from official repos, and changing that requires jumping through hoops (even Arch with the AUR requires manual work to build an AUR package). And in practice, a lot of people are pulling random unofficial images off Docker Hub (and gcr.io and such) and just running them without review.
r/homegym will have some good recs for gear to get started. Plenty of bodyweight training you can do too- great for turning on your main muscle groups (youtube).

A barbell and some plates w/ rack will cover the main lifts. Squats, deadlifts, presses (chest and shoulder) are the first ones to build. I recommend Starting Strength for an on-ramp to get going. Adjustable dumbbells are great too- plenty of options out there. Some of this equipment is expensive, look for used and consider it an investment in health.

Happy Lifting!

The hardest part is habit-building. So whatever works for you for building daily habits. My plan is to put a calendar on the wall with boxes for habits and check them off with a colored pen. Nice visible reminder of what I'm working on and how I'm doing. I was derailed by a severe cold that I'm still recovering from.

The exercise routine itself matters less, IMO, than building the habit. Some basic calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) would be fine to start. You could add dumbbells or a kettlebell at some point to add weight for a minimum of space.

The exercise I "enjoyed" the most was barbell lifting: deadlift, squat, benchpress, cleans, rows, etc. Starting Strength was a really good read for that, and there are videos to go with them. I also worked with a trainer at the gym for a while to get the form correct. That all requires a fair bit of equipment or gym access, though.

I am regularly surprised people have such a strong opinion on this topic. I personally enjoy that the sun only sets around 21:30 in the summer, and I like the cozy early sunset in winter. I never had any problems with the one hour less sleep once a year, especially since it is easy to allow for a transition phase of around a week. I have 1 clock in the house which doesn't adjust automatically, so this can hardly be called a nuisance. More than once I didn't even notice the change until the evening - I just got up when my alarm went off.

When the European Union conducted a poll 3 years ago, 4,6 million people answered. That is less than one percent (!) of the population, which is evidence that the overwhelming majority of people just don't care.

I think a lot of US timezones at least would split roughly in half if we entirely got rid of DST with eastern cities picking standard time and western cities picking daylight time. I think that's a big part of why we continue to debate getting rid of DST and never actually do it because no one wants to redraw the timezone boundaries.
Docker still ships with swarm compiled in, so yes, actually, docker does orchestrate containers.
I find myself largely agreeing with you about the hubris and complexity behind most c++14/17/20 discussions today. and often feel adding complexity for the sake of intellectual satisfaction is pointless and should be avoided.

My view is that we mostly read code a lot more than write it and code is basically the low level fabric on with we build higher level abstractions like business logic (except for some ultra specialized cases like shaders or vector assembly). My problem is that any senior engineer shouldn't have to waste brain cycles figuring out the language antics when reading code because that takes you away from the reality you really want to get to (the business logic or the intent of code). for a reasonbly senor coder the language really should be out of teh pecture. these antics often end up wasting attention and sometime resources because likely somebody would use that code in a way its not intended and it will have a subtle failure like using extra resources etc

An array with holes is still dense.

An array becomes sparse when the datastructure doesn't try to manage things linearly, *not* when there's a placeholder "nothing" value stored in it.
That’s what Utah plans to do but there is currently a federal law that prohibits the use of permanent DST. Utah, California, and a couple other states have asked the federal government to change that law and I believe there are plans to consider it soon.

Utah has passed a law that makes DST permanent as soon as the federal law is removed.

Edit: On further review, this seems to have died in committee.

We currently (in the US, anyway) have laws against harassment and threats. They may not be well-enforced, but we do have those laws. Adding additional, vague laws will not help with enforcement, but it would open the door for authorities to prosecute lower and lower levels of 'harmful' behavior which go well beyond what you would want.

The solution is to crack down hard on the real harm, based on the many laws we already have on the books.
Just a nit:

Willing to learn and improve. How would you express what I wanted to say?
>I don't understand, these decisions appear to be made by people appointed by democratically elected MPs?

I assumed you were trying to say that since the law would be created "democratically," it was either just or can't be corrupted. In response, I explained how the democratic process works in the US, trying to say that just because we have a democratic process, that doesn't necessarily mean the people we elect to represent us do it in good faith. They represent the corporate interests who funded their war chest first and foremost and the citizenry who elected them incidentally. Democracy as currently in practice is very different from democracy in theory. I love the theory.

Let me try to make a bad analogy. Say you are in a union and it's time to vote for your union rep. There are 4 candidates and they are all mid and high level managers. Yes, they would be democratically elected, but the choice is limited to people who have a serious conflict of interest. It's unlikely you would be represented in good faith. Because of this, any law proposed we should be highly skeptical of as it likely isn't in our best interest but more in the best interest of "management," i.e. corporate interests.

>Are you making a different complaint about the democratic process? That's fine for you to do, but that seems to be unrelated to the topic.

See above.

So collectively, as a single voice, I think our politicians are using this as a way to censor the population and I collectively, as a single voice do not in any way support it. If people don't want to get their feelings hurt, they shouldn't go on Twitter or Facebook or talk to people in any way; otherwise, people probably have to get accustomed to getting their feelings hurt sometimes. It sucks, because nobody likes getting their feelings hurt, but the alternative is way worse.
