It's okay, but by its very nature, it's not as flexible as code. Often I see an argument describing low-code tools as "Pareto efficient", but even that turns out to be a false economy once your use case becomes a little more complex.

Generally speaking, if you're doing something beyond building a simple form or table, and have some serious business logic to implement, in my experience, code is the only way to go. Anything else feels somewhat sub-optimal.

Admittedly trite/unhelpful comment: avoid xargs
By coincidence, I found another reason just two days ago. A web app lists uploaded files’ names, and (in a rarely used context) lets the user search for them. One user has copied a file name from the web page, and pasted it into the search box, but got no results. Turned out that the file name contained two consecutive spaces, which the browser turns into a single space, hence no match. Every layer between the user and file system can do something unexpected.
Why would school computers want to block View Source? Shouldn't they be encouraging students to use the debugging tools?
Exactly.

I've read that a handful of times (whenever trying to figure out where to put some new random thing), and still have never come to a clear conclusion. Even better, because there are so many similar places, you might choose completely different ones depending on the day of the week and your current mood.

Too much choice for things like this is harmful IMO. Deep down I truly couldn't care less where the files end up, as long as that place is the 'right' place. There are too many 'right' places which makes it hard to find random things at a later date or when on a box you're not super familiar with. It's also a complete waste of time to think about it at all.
The research was about the effect of your diet on dementia.
When looking from an evolutionary perspective, I don't think that the chance of developing dementia was very important. Most people never reached that age and when they did, they probably couldn't reproduce anymore anyway.

So I don't think your argument about beans can be used to invalidate the findings of the research.

Please stop. You’re twisting facts to suit your own purpose.

Let’s say there is no safe limit for lead. Regardless you’d have to agree that at some point the harm caused by lead becomes irrelevant? If someone has 1 ppt lead in their blood the harm isn’t actually measurable?

And no, you’re wrong. Lead is excreted (why measure in urine/feces otherwise?). Lead exposure isn’t permanent just like all the other toxins humans are naturally exposed to.

Last time I checked, Musk is the CEO of a rocket company so not a business I expect a normal consumer to be involved with. They are sending rockets at a previously unseen speed by the way.

He is also the CEO of Tesla and I don’t know where you live but these cars are now everywhere in Europe. A friend of mine has one. There is one parked in my street. It’s not really a niche product.

I have little sympathy for the man and dislike the way he acts as much as anyone else but to pretend his businesses are only promises and invisible you would have to seriously distord reality.
That is a very good point. Especially when the cost of Windows is priced out explicitly starting at $139.

I think the one thing we have ( or should have ) learned. Is the paradox of computing. Bill Gate said all hardware will be free. Because the cost is driven down so quickly. And it will be software that rules the world. That was late 90s and early 00s. And it make sense. Because software development is getting more expensive.

It turns out no consumer is willing to paid for software. The vast majority of consumer market wants software to be free. And they are only paying for the product ( both software and hardware ). Most developers were surprised at their iOS copies sold compared to their macOS software. Where iOS had 10x the market size, but only sold less than half of what they did on macOS. That is a 20x difference.

How exactly is dietary inflammation effect measured? Most claims about diet are based on broad epidemiological studies, and questionably accurate self reporting. I'm all for eating more healthfully, but please show me the rigor behind any one approach, and how I can self measure.
Based on total yearly cases of myocarditis, your yearly risk of getting myocarditis without vaccination is around 1 in 1,000-10,000. This suggests that many of the events reported in VAERS is due to random happenstance, not any causative effect of the vaccine.

(Many, but not all--from the EU data, IIRC, excess myocarditis events were in the range of about 1 in 100,000, not 1 in 10,000.)
It seems to me that many of the problems associated with spaces in filenames are due the OS assuming that a space signals the end of a command or filename.

Maybe we ought have to a different character signify the end of a name? Or signfiy a option section, or the next option section of a command?

I can't image Apple engineers don't know this. But it might have been a negotiating give-away to the (tech-ignorant) government akin to gun control laws banning rifle-mounted bayonets and calling it "gun control progress".
I have a hard time finding interest and value in human space flight in 2021 when its clear we are on track to destroy the planet were currently on. In the 60's it was for a cold war, and in turn provided a lot of new technology advancement. This time around Im not as interested, intrigued or impressed. We have micro plastics covering pretty much every inch of this planet, people in need of food, people in need of basic medical care. I know they are in different arenas, and these problems even existed in the 1960's. But what is the point of going back to the moon at all? I don't see a point in going to Mars except for the fact it has not been done yet. It's cool but I have a hard time with it.

I own and drive a 1960 Corvair.

Most Corvair fans will tell you it's not any more dangerous than any other 1960 car if you set it up right. (I'll elaborate later) The manual tells you specific tire pressures to run: 22psi in front, 32psi in back. That differential tire pressure is critical to compensate for the swingaxles and rear weight.

The problem was that this spec is different from other cars people were used to, and like today, no one read the manual. Especially mechanics. So you'd take it to a shop for something, they'd notice your front tires were a little low, and "fill" them up with air for you. And you didn't know.

I think there's some willful misinformation on both sides of this argument. There's a lawsuit between Chevrolet and National Highway Traffic Safety Admin that resolved in 1972 (3 years after the last Corvair was made) that settled saying that the 1963 Corvair (the one being tested) wasn't any worse than other small cars at the time.

Early Corvairs, however, have more and more safety features added in over the years. There's an early 1960 (mine) and a later 1960 model, and there were significant suspension changes between 1961, '62, '63, and '64. After that, the Corvair had a full redesign and was honestly a different car (still rear-engined, air cooled, unibody, but a different model). Each model year for early Corvairs the car was refined and made much better, so that '64s are really nice, pretty damn safe cars for the era.

I suspect the '60 definitely has some rollover issues if you drive it hard. "Spirited driving" was the term they used back in the day. I don't - I baby mine and keep it slow and easy. I'm not great with driving a manual yet anyway.
I don't see how the market can value Rivian as the fifth most valuable car company IN THE WORLD - behind Tesla, Toyota, VW and BYD. Ford ships 900K F-150's annually and their market cap is ~ $80 billion.... HW doesn't scale like SW yet the market seems to think (hope?) otherwise....

This is an off-the-cuff response so maybe I'm completely wrong, but I recently started baking sourdough at home with my own starter.

The starter is simply flour and water, but after a while of refreshing with new flour and water eventually the ever-present wild yeast and (good) bacteria start to grow really quickly.

I usually wrap with saran wrap and when the starter is really active the saran wrap expands a bunch. From what I understand this is the gas from the bacteria eating their way through the flour.

Could excess gas in humans be a similar situation? ie lots of gas means our microbiome is busy eating and farting a bunch. Which to me sounds like a good thing. Maybe not so good for those around you.

I moved from mind maps (I used and liked FreeMind) to indented outlines in plain text files when I realized I wasn't really losing anything to map the nodes to headings and the edges to sub-headings. I can capture the same relationships, keep it synced to everywhere via cloud storage, and I don't need special software beyond a text editor to look at or edit it.

Now I just need to learn how to go back through them.

1) Unless you are a heremit you used Exxon/BP/Saudi Aramco/Gas and the like

2) Again unless you are a heremit you used JPMorgan/WellsFargo/Bank of America and the like

3) You might have never bought a Toyota but you sure stepped in one, same goes for Benz, Hyundays, BMWs, Fords and GMs

4) What else? The big tech companies, for sure you have used their products. Apple or Microsoft, even if you are Linux user for sure you have used one of them.

5) Your data goes through CISCO switches every time you connect to the internet and your laptop is made up of TMSC semiconducturs

6) You have used a BRK product every time you drink Bud or use Heinz ketchup

7) You might have never gone down to Orlando but for sure you enjoyed Disney content down at the theatre drinking a Pepsi or a Coke.

Unless you own a Tesla or stepped into one via a rideshare app you have never used one of Musk products, directly or indirectly.

> the Achilles heel of the Oil industry

I absolutely love the Oil industry. They just mine the stuff and take the blame for me when I willingly decide to burn it to feed my C8 for my own quality of life.

I'd give Exxon CEO a big hug if I could, pay for his dinner too, it's the minimum I could do as he and his counterparts are basically magnets for the lunatics such as Greta and Exctinction Rebellion, they take those lunatics off my tail, they want to destroy the American quality of life for the benefit of people who'd inhabit the planet 300 years from now.

God they will look so dumb when they'd be on their deathbed due to old and boring heart disease, cancer, alzheimer and not because of trendy climate change.
There is a new approach to solve this problem. An application called Rovas allows you to go the middle way; make a payment mandatory, but allow people to pay with their own volunteer time. This way you will not exclude anybody and folks who do not want to (report) volunteer work, can still pay you in national currency (experience so far suggests, that most do). Check https://rovas.app/rules for more info.

I create unique identities for each online account to pair with password management. I should really go further and rotate them. It seems that there is a relationship between the # of times an email identity has been reused and the quantity of breaches that show up on haveibeenpwned. My system allows for transparent replies via gmail/outlook etc and I can redirect where the emails land easily.

I just started playing with the system again and I wanted to add a few features.

1. vanity domains and shorter ids. I wonder what if i can get away with 8 char ids... example s0gt7i9n3uhd@green.foo.com I'll route the email based on "green" and "s0gt7i9n3uhd" in a way return emails can be reverse routed transparently.

2. bitwarden client integration. I think CLI client is the way to go, tips on a bitwarden gui library I could integrate with would be appreciated.

3. cloud object backend. For some accounts storing all the email on S3 or other object store would be fine. I'd like to get away from using gmail. I plan to have a ringbuffer to store recent emails per identity and then fetch/render them in my webapp.

4. I want to write some more advanced reporting. I track every address that sends to an identity and can for example trigger when the sender domain doesn't match the identity domain. This has indicated breaches. Once I know there is a breach I can easily blackhole the identity.
Code is simply a way we formalize requirements to the specificity required for a computer to fulfill and honor them. So a developer's job is to make vague requirements more specific via the coding process. Find another way of moving to an equivalent representation of every detail captured in code, and call it anything you like.
> Don't want to be grouped with some shiba fanatic

> But I mean we would be having the same conversation if this was a $100mm marketcap coin, instead of a $36bn marketcap coin, but the criticism would be less true

apparently pointing out the limitations of a low-hanging fruit criticism makes one a fanatic with no discussion on the common enterprise generating revenue, just the association with the meme brand.

zero discussion on whether the observer caught or missed all of the alpha, zero discussion on whether there was any conflict or any interest in the underlying asset, zero verification of whether the aforementioned exchange product created actually had the $500mm in assets and growing or daily trade volume even though people - including a Brazilian University's professor in a comment to a US securities regulator - have been trying to compare crypto assets to equities or a commodity supported by cashflow for an entire decade.

the irony being that without the token nobody would have noticed this 4 month old exchange generating $30mm-$490mm daily volume existed - earning fees no matter what the nature of the volume is - but the existence of the token and accessible branding prompts otherwise intelligent people to shut their mind off to any discussion about it, not even considering to even look at the product. just call the person that did look, or at least someone else that would look, a fanatic. probably hyperbole, as they feel the need to blend in to elevate their own opinion without similar exclusion, but frustrating none the less.

and doubling down makes me look like a fanatic, well played, ser

historians: this is the state of crypto discussions in 2021, just want a couple people now, and more people in the future, to see that.
> There is no basis for believing that the payoff for coordination is elevated

Libraries, fire stations, universal K-12 education? Certainly imperfect, but def benefit from coordination. Health care too - a lack of universal coordination makes life difficult.

On the private sector side, many companies are great examples of coordination payoffs (I trade entrepreneurial risk/reward for consistent benefits).

Circa Y2k, I learned that the OSX Palm Pilot software didn't work with case sensitive. I've since given up and stuck with the default. (I'm anti-case folding in general, because of the ambiguity.)
Fantastic analogy.

Personally I am not interested to learn "proper git". It's plumbing and not an end goal.

When I start working on something, I do a pull and then create a branch. Then I make edits to the files I need and save a copy of them locally.

If then something goes awry with my commit/push/MR/whatever, I delete the repo, clone it, create a new branch, using human intelligence re-apply my changes from the local copies and try again.
You can!

Elm is interesting, though it's developer is a bit polarizing

I think we will lower the bar of what is acceptable. You seem to think they need perfect track record or it’s a no go but we know that is not true. People are willing to take the odds to do something awesome. Look at the first time one of Tesla’s self driving cars caused a fatality. No one stopped using their auto pilot. It will be the same if a rocket full of people blows up, they will investigate the issue and build a safer one the next time. Then with the prospect of heading to space another crew will eagerly line up.
A possible consideration is older quiz/testing sites that pass along enough hints in HTML source code/CSS styling that identify correct answers prior to actually sending responses back for evaluation.
