Sorry, I went to make a search without the extension installed (because I did try) and I got hit with a full screen error message saying I needed to install the extension.

My mistake was obviously typing in the search bar at the top of the screen. I should have edited the address in the address bar manually. If you don’t have the extension installed, the search bar serves only to take you to an ad to install it.

A UI element that appear to be a search box but is actually an ad for your extension, I would characterize as user hostile design.

Google’s practices, if you don’t agree with them, doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want because you’re the little guy. Offering an extension is fine. But disabling searching if the extension isn’t installed is not helpful.
Social media by itself isn't all bad - if used correctly, it's an amazing way to connect.

The problem can be isolated to algorithmic feeds [0]. They encourage consumption over action, take you in unwanted directions and induce FOMO through overchoice and unrealistic standards. If you can eliminate them, these services magically become tools rather than escapes.

One big mistake is that this is not anime. This is obviously comic-style, which is more realistic, and, in turn, closer to automated filtering.

Note that Japanese anime normally uses a much simplified style to increase the production speed. This naturally results in a highly distorted(?!) depictions that even humans often find disturbing. This makes anime-style difficult to mimic.

Ultimately this comes down to the communities.

The Emacs community, although perhaps lacking the sheer number of vscode users, is incredible. There are folks like Henrik Lissner who are almost pathologically addicted to making Emacs awesome, not to mention the myriad other folks who escape my mind at the moment.

The vscode community is mostly full of valiant, short-lived one-person projects and things maintained by large companies. I must admit that for working with Azure, I do switch to vscode because the integration (e.g. for the ARM templates) is awesome.

Emacs has the better community for the long run (and has the track record to prove it), but I do wonder about the technical limitations of Emacs, mostly revolving around the quirkiness of elisp that Emacs is mostly married to at the moment. You can listen to Henrik discuss this here [0]. I experience some hickups when using Doom emacs, mostly when projects get big and the tooltip stuff has to render many options. Still, this is well worth it for the amazing benefits of Org mode, Org Roam, Org-ref, etc.

This is the part that really gets me about PAM. There really did need to be something where it sits, and the plugin approach is perfectly sound. (Aside: I hope the expressed horror at "plugins in C" is one of the satirical parts, because plenty of people really do have such a poor grasp of computing history.) On the other hand, the implementation of those basic ideas has always been plagued by inscrutable APIs/formats, poor documentation, and unnecessarily catastrophic failure modes - as shown in the talk itself, and some of the comments above. Actually working with PAM is almost as unpleasant as working with SELinux, and neither has to be so bad.
Woopty doo, you don’t “technically” need nuclear power to go carbon neutral.
If it shaves a decade or two off the process isn’t it worth it? Eventually you can start retiring nuclear plants, but in the mean time isn’t it better to focus on the carbon issue?
Already working remotely for a US company :)
In 2010, being an independent developer for a startup in the US in argentina meant a 2-3k monthly wage. It is now at 5~6k, and plenty of opportunities to make 10k monthly.

Bear in mind this pays <5% tax and you can maintain a whole family, pay for a house, food etc for 2k a month.

This arbitrage has always been there and its become way easier to manage after the remote shift.

Because the anti-CO2 coalition is primarily an environmental coalition whose main skills are condemning, taxing, and lecturing the public about grave injustices.

But when it comes down to actually lobbying for the deployment of mass industrial processes at scale, or recognizing which solutions are viable and which are not, then they feel very uncomfortable advocating for mass buildout of nuclear. They pretend that we can all adopt solar and then handwave away the issues with reliability.

And when confronted with these problems, you hear things like "well, of course we can't have reliable electricity. We need to change our lifestyles, etc". So it's always back to scolding and blaming human behavior to overcome their lack of engineering competency.

But people don't like being taxed and blamed for turning the lights on when they come home, nor should they be. There is no reason why anyone needs to care what powers their home. It should all be reliable, cheap, and clean.

Getting there requires a very different kind of lobby than the current anti-CO2 lobby. It requires a lobby that has a sober-minded - rather than a utopian - understanding of different energy generating solutions, and finally abstains from blaming the public or trying to change end user behavior, but views this purely as a technical challenge to migrate from one reliable infrastructure to another, a migration that should be completely invisible to the end user, providing them with the same or better reliability, and the same or better cost.

If you can do that, then you will see the political opposition vanish. If you still just want to blame people and tell them they need to stop eating meat and suffer high prices to heat their home in the winter, then the political opposition will increase.

It was a nontrivial improvement to write throughput at the time. I'd imagine it could have similar impact for other write-intensive workloads.
You say that you don't brush it off at all, but just before you said "But IME, those folks are few and far between.". Your experience does not really matter here if you are not a woman that experiences that type of harassment.

What the person you were replying to was trying to tell you is not that the problem are men who start the conversation with "hey pretty girl, can you sit on my face?", but rather people who start with a polite conversation, and if they feel they are met with a warm reaction think it opens the door to more.

It might be only a small percentage of guys who follow up with inappropriate actions, but when as a woman you get 20+ men a day starting to make small talk with you, you end up with a high probability of having at least some of them being weirdos.

On the other hand if the woman answers coldly to the small talk tentative, some people may take it in a bad way. The line you have to walk to not appear too warm to weirdos and not too cold to easily offended people is very thin.

If you can't understand that under these circumstances some women become anxious at the idea of men starting small talk with them, well that's too bad.

As for what you can do, maybe start with asking women you know how they feel about it. Maybe they are all fine with it. It is also very dependent of where you live. If you live in a dense city women get harassed way more often than in a suburb area, it's kind of a number problem.

For me the phrase "Computer Science" is considered harmful. They call us "software engineers", but people see "science" as having a higher social status than "engineering".

Part of "computer science" is about particular accidents in how we build computers, such as CMOS logic or the 8-bit byte or the bizzare ways that C overloads keywords, but there is another part of it which is universal. There is intelligent life all over the universe that lives under the ice on moons of gas giant planets and if they have built computers they know the results of Alan Turing and Kurt Gödel under some other name. They know that you can't sort a list with fewer than O(N ln N) comparisons.

It's important not to get so full of yourself that you look down on the work you are doing. I see the word "science" in data science being corrupting because many "data scientists" think they are too good to practice software engineering, to put effort into repeatable builds. They could put their work on wheels if they built a script that could reliably build a machine learning model or generate the monthly sales report every month but many of them seem to think they are too good to do that and it diminishes the value they give to the organization.

Organizations too don't see the value that "computer science" could give to an organization. I worked for a web consulting shop that was in crisis particularly because it had invested in a proprietary programming language that was no longer being supported. They probably could have hired a graduate fresh out of school who'd just taken a compiler class and built a transpiler that would compile it to P.H.P. or some open language, but management didn't know that, didn't believe that, and now it is too late.
>What do you suppose is a better tool you have or would build which hides this person’s history but can vouch for their creditworthiness or lack of it?

I'm still lost on the part where we're stuck on having to be able to lookup a datastore managed by some private party in order to facilitate these arrangements?

I have no interest in perpetuating the credit bureau system. If you're convinced that it's some priceless fixture we must have, then we can talk about setting up a public Bureau; with strict regulations around what type of information they collect, how it is used, how it is dispensed, etc, security measures around its access, but most importantly, synchronous notification of the reported on by the Bureau, with services provided to the notified to aid in prompt remedy, or failing that a means dispute or correct fraudulent information.

Other than that, I object vehemently to these types of datastores. Welcome to investing. Them's the risks.

I've worked in finance. Finance for its own sake is not high on my list of things to facilitate. I also prefer discriminatory people be required to appear discriminatory.

> Additionally, extreme or alarmist predictions tend to have the opposite of the desired effect. It tends to entrench opposing views and alienate the more moderates.

Bingo (I'm one of those). And your analogy with COVID is extremely interesting. It somewhat reinforces my belief that the negative impacts of climate change are probably overstated.

1) Most early COVID predictions by experts vastly overstated the deadliness of the virus and its impact[0].

2) There is some evidence that wearing a mask helps prevent COVID transmission, but not by much. Is it worth wearing a mask 24/7 for the rest of our lives? Probably not.

3) Taking a vaccine does not "unquestionably save the lives of others". Recent studies have shown that vaccinated people are just as likely to transmit the virus.[1]

I could go on. I believe in vaccination and am vaccinated. I believe in climate change. But I am very hesitant to accept broad doomsday predictions by climate scientists which involve a mix of economics, society, politics, etc.

In the early days of computers I was a kid with a 110 baud teletype (keyboard+printer all in one). I played star trek, and it would print out a sector map of you, stars, and enemies. To print each character would spin a little sphere and bank it on the paper. I played it for endless hours. I could recognize klingons by the noise of printing **.

Then finally I got a hazeltine 1410 terminal, that ran at 300 baud. Playing on that was frustratingly slow/boring. No entertainment/drama of the printing.
