JS land is a total shitshow, that's a given.

But this sort of thing happens quite often outside NPM as well. If you're an author of a popular web browser extension then you've probably received emails from random shady people offering to buy your extension. And of course, some people are offered a sum they can't refuse. Google and Apple app stores aren't immune from this either.

I just remembered the absolute saddest hijacking I ever witnessed. It was this blog I read one day. The guy had some interesting articles (business, I believe). I kept reading and he starts talking about his health. It gets worse and worse. Then suddenly the tone of the articles change. I notice weird links to vitamin and supplement crap stuck in articles that had nothing to do with it. The articles became incredibly generic. So I did some research. Turns out, the guy died from cancer, apparently his domain name expired, and some SEO spammer type took his domain and his content and repurposed it for shitty harvesting purposes.

>As a member of the generation that is the Eternal September (ie. complete unawareness of pre 1993 internet etiquette) I launched right into asking my first question without saying hello.

This struck me, because in most help-oriented discords I've I've joined nowadays, the policy seems to be "don't beat around the bush and just ask your damn question". I've actually been chastised for not just asking my question immediately a few times. Funny how cultures change.
Thanks for the reply. It certainly will be an interesting technical challenge to try and propagate changes efficiently. Speaking from experience (I've worked with Terraform a lot the past 2 years), it can be a tough nut to crack, so good luck!

I would add one more thing (and this is maybe for down the line): There's a use case for duplicating envs beyond just development environments. There's a lot of value in cases where the SaaS product itself requires on-demand environment generation. Where customers of it need staging instances so they can see what config changes are before they merge to production. Obviously in that case, you're treating an actual product like a terraform provider, and the API's of that product as resources. I would explore that down the line because there's a lot of value in a service like that.

FYI, I would love to get involved any way I can to help you guys grow this. Let me know how I can help! mailto:ramish@ualberta.ca if you're interested :)

Not surprising when all of the people around me who are vaccinated keep getting covid. My coworkers wife came down with appendicitis after getting the vaccine and her mom got covid after being vaccinated as well.. my boss's dad got covid after being vaccinated. I work in an office with 4 other people so it's not like there is a high chance of that happening, but it did.

Either the immunity wanes over time or people who are vaccinated are taking more risks or something
> giving them more money will not make them more functional.

True, but I disagree with the idea that it'll make them _less_ functional. Relying on billionaires to fix the problem give them more social capital and takes the focus away from fixing government, not to mention one of the things billionaires often do with their money is spend it on undermining the functionality of government (see: Koch brothers).

I was entertained until this undoubtedly vaccinated hero used Covid as an excuse for not taking an in-person exam, despite writing this article in November of 2021. It's okay if you don't want to do something, but stop exploiting Covid. If you're still doing this it sounds ridiculous. Get over it.

This is a great article, however I feel a bit like it's shouting into an echo chamber.

Many people in sci/tech industries are already aware of the importance of repairability and right to repair controversies.

For an article like this to actually make a difference to the entire population, it needs to be written and published somewhere the general public will see it.

It also needs to be dumbed down and put into terms the average person will understand: lose the "robotic arm" example and start talking about how that shiny $2000 exercise bike that you just bought for your wife will someday, inevitably, become an expensive ornament because Peloton's servers have shut down and the hardware/software can't be modified.

Until the average person cares about repairability, longevity, and hardware ownership, it just won't take hold. In my opinion.

If you actually looked at the numbers you'd see FF has had fewer security issues than any other major browsers.

Also Torbrowser uses a security-hardened version of FF LTS, so it's pretty useless to assume FF vulnerabilities all apply to Torbrowser.

I think the realization people had through the pandemic is that a very large part of the western world is equally livable. Apart from economic opportunity, what else is there on US soil that makes it comparably preferable? And i think you re forgetting that the US has been outsourcing its manufacturing to china for decades, and china is , what 15 hours difference? Most of work is asynchronous

I think the US has nothing to fear from remote work -- they will outsource even more work and again benefit from the arbitrage. But it is true that it will diminish their talent advantage, and that will be good for them.

I would use lateral join. Alternatively you can use window function instead of lateral join, buy from my experience lateral joins are usually faster for this kind of top-N queries in postgres.

select user_table.user_id, tmp.post_id, tmp.text, tmp.timestamp

from user_table

left outer join lateral (

select post_id, text, timestamp

from post

where post.user_id = user_table.user_id

order by timestamp

limit 1

) tmp on true

order by user_id

limit 30;
and then you can skip the whole blockchain and use IPFS directly. NFTs do absolutely nothing for this use-case. They're merely a security hole that is plugged by something else off-chain.

In reality, an implementation that authenticates footage would use classic public-key cryptography with a private key embedded in a HSM in the camera, signing the output. You can't make it trustless with blockchain software, because necessarily the chain of trust has to end on the hardware (the hardware can be verified in theory, but blockchain is irrelevant for this, sinec there's no double-spend protection needed in this security model).

This seems pretty moronic to me. People who don't realize they had covid were likely to have few, if any symptoms. People who had heavy symptoms knew they had covid. Nobody, save for those living in complete denial, is going to lose their sense of smell and taste and go bedridden for a few days and think they did not have covid.

The paper doesn't seem to make any effort to ask the far more relevant question: "Do stronger initial symptoms correlate with stronger long term effects?". They probably do. A lot of it is just straight up long term damage that requires a lot of time to recover.

The data seems questionable to me. You really need to dig into it but they've got 50% of people who said they thought had COVID got a negative test in the study. However, 66% of people who believed they had covid actually got diagnosed by a test or doctor. It seems to me that the false negative rate of their serological rate must be abnormally high. Do I really believe that half of people who think they got covid didn't actually have it even though two thirds of them were confirmed by another test? I don't.

It seems much more likely to me that their test is just bad they've got mostly believed-positive vs !believed-negative; and believed-positive vs. !believed-postive-but-minor-infection if that makes sense. Hard doubt.
We know our knowledge of physics is incomplete.

There is no largely accepted obvious place where free will emerges from, while at the same time superdeterminism is not proven as you say.

So it's fair for some to say that physics as we know it doesn't allow free will, while at the same time it's fair for others to say that obviously they have free will thus it must exist.

I think it depends on what kind of product Twitter Blue would become. Getting all the publishers in one app, and getting “news reading experience” designed right, may attract users who were not paying anything to publishers before.

I just wonder if getting into channel business, instead of building more open of a platform where publishers control the prices themselves, was the right move for Twitter. Time will tell.
That's possible: Users with roles don't need to be verified, so you can just give the user a role.
I believe it's about the common case of two events sharing a single (infinitely small) point of time: meeting A from 3 to 4, followed by meeting B from 4 to 5.

Those two time periods do overlap mathematically, but not physically: they share the common point of "4", even if that point has duration 0.

I know the iCal standard goes into this for a bit.
Definitely a much needed service.

OTOH, I hope it is secure because it will absolutely be an attack vector.
Well, the way previous generations fizzled suggests these problems aren’t that solved after all.

Just 1 long term waste storage has ever been built in the world, plant productivity has always been relatively low (initial manufacturing delays, refueling, minor accidents, refurbishments), many anti-proliferation techniques just over-produce rad-waste.

Oh, and if we were to buildout nuclear globally how long would the ore reserves last?
I interpret your sarcasm with amusement, but also depression. it's really sad to see how Germany turned away from nuclear evergy. It seems like the 3 main soures are now:

1. Coal,

2. Renewables (Solar, wind, perhaps ocean currents),

3. imported oil.

Coal should be deprecated already. Renewables are dependent on environmental effects, in particular solar doesn't work in emergency situations such as volcano eruptions rendering the sky dark. For oil, we depend on third parties, of which we know that they do not have our best interests at heart.

It is depressing to see the political situations on these metrics, especially the idea which gets pushed now, which claims that everything will be alright if we just optimize our energy consumption. It ain't gonna happen. People won't meaningfully reduce their energy-consumption, at least not in a way that would justify the use of fossil fuels.

So what are we left with? Nuclear is the only good bet you could make right now, while waiting out on fusion.

edit: I often think of this meme which goes around, talking about the fact that people are much more willing to donate to a single child in need, rather than a group of children who equally need help. People are prone to take action when they feel like their individual action makes an impact.

I feel like this is similar to the fossil fuels - vs - nuclear debate. We know, that about 20mil ppl die every single year due to air pollution. We also know, that a very small, countable number of people died of nuclear accidents, in the complete history of humanity, ever, in total.

Yet we seem to think that the few nuclear accident's fatalities are worse than the ones caused by air pollution. Why? Because we are in some way biased to give more meaning to individual events, rather than rates of change that are around us. And it'll break our backs if we don't carefully examine the problem at hand.
I can try to answer your questions. (Disclaimer, I'm a masters student studying systems with a focus on energy systems. Obviously not an expert, and am somewhat biased pro-nuclear.)

1. Net online time for nuclear isn't particularly bad, especially when you consider that other alternatives too go down. [1] Of course you'll need some extra capacity/more plants, but that was anyway the case.

2. I feel this is probably the strongest point that can be held against nuclear. Short-term fuel management is not an issue/already figured out, and climate change is a much quicker risk in the next 50 years, so I'd argue it's still better to go 0-carbon instead of finding a perfect solution right now.

3. I'm not sure if you're referring to proliferation of the fuel or technologies, but both are reasonably well-developed fields that France should not have major problems.

4. Similar to point one - nuclear accidents vs risks/deaths from coal is like comparing flight safety with cars. Sure, airplanes feel unsafe but are statistically MUCH safer than cars. Chernobyl and Fukushima were both avoidable (though that can admitably be said for a lot of accidents). Deaths from pollution itself are in the millions instead. [2]

Right by they do pay more. A lot more
France has been running on 75%+ nuclear power mix for the past 50 years and is doing better energy/emissions-wise than almost every other country in the world. Your questions have already been answered, it seems. They seem to have bet on the right horse, and went full steam ahead with it (no pun intended). And now they are supplying all their neighbours with surplus clean energy.
I may have missed it, but I didn't see any explanation in that article of why anyone would depend on something like leftpad instead of just writing the single LoC directly into their application.
But yet life has somehow brought me to these conclusions...

Just because it goes against modern cultural ways of thinking does not make it wrong. You're then asserting Western ideology is the superior way of life also implying all others are inferior. You judge people just like priests in the Spanish inquisition, but instead of Christianity, you use "Western Thought" as your religious motive to criticize other means of thinking. If racism did not garner any success for peoples, those people would not be successful. Yet here we are. I'm not advocating for it because I'm not a moron. But I am saying that it on a sociological level is beneficial at certain times. Pretending that your "holier than thou" mentality while not having lived in those times/areas is truly the epitome of Western liberalism. You like to be the white savior but forget people are animals at the end of the day.

Jesus...I mean even Anthony Bourdain had an episode in Haiti where they bought food for a bunch of people and it erupted into chaos. He even commented about the very thing I'm talking about with people being animals. You put scare resources and ways of life on the line, and people will revert back to their same old primitive ways. Why do you think the Western world has fantasies about things like "The Purge" or "Survivor?" Because they're impervious toward acting tribalistic? No it's because it's a basic fundamental part of who we are.
But big auto bought into EVs and climate change once they realized it was a way to make everyone have to buy new cars. So your idea is a non-starter.
There's an old saying: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it" (often attributed to Upton Sinclair, not sure if that's true or not tho).

Id like to suggest that what you are calling "familiarity bias" might have a component of the quote in it too. Not salary in this case, but social position. That is in the racist system, one race of folks get better treatment, and if they want to maintain better treatment, the status quo must be maintained. The group of people at top of a racial hierarchy (that is in the supreme position), are incentivized to keep the racist system. When race is considered a bad reason to judge a person, they still are incentivized to maintain the system, just find different words to justify the status quo.

I guess a different way of saying this is - white supremacy describes a race based social hierarchy where white people are at the highest level. It has also been used to describe the lowlife Nazi or KKK wannabes that advocate for it in the baldest terms, but they are bigots who advocate for white supremacy using racist terms like "inferior genetics" or worse.

Compare the term racist itself - there are folks who would have you believe that the term is limited to personal bigotry against people of a different race, and has nothing to do with the rules and actions of systems (a position I think you don't hold due to your description of racist systems).
