There's probably multiple local minima.

You could integrate solar stuff into structures. Then it probably has to be pretty long lived. This is because solar is getting cheap anyway and it doesn't cost much more to make a wall a solar panel while you're building a wall anyway - most of the cost of the panel is the supporting structure and installation anyway - which have to be there for the wall and are thus paid for already.

On the other hand maybe you can have flimsy solar stuff that's more like an umbrella or parasol or awning and could be replaced every few years. You could have it even leased. Return the old one for recycling. Maybe it's taken off during the winter entirely. It's dark in the winter anyway and it would be too expensive to make it so sturdy that it can handle snow. If it's destroyed by a storm, no big deal, get a new one.

We have a work bee twice per year where a lot of people from the condominium company trim bushes, fell trees, rake, pick up waste etc. Why not put up a few solar panels on top of the garages for the summer at the same time? And take them off in October then.
I don't know enough Visual Basic to meaningfully improve this program. I only know enough to recognize patterns that shouldn't be anywhere in a program that purports to encrypt files.

I think you should put a note in the README disclaiming the cryptographic and key generation problems in this program. Not doing so is probably going to result in people relying on cryptographic properties it cannot provide.

It's kind of fun to watch things go out of fashion and back in. We used to use inetd, mostly because memory was expensive, so it could spawn a service only when a request came in, then the spawned process would exit and give the memory back to the os. Then someone decided tcpd should sit between inetd and servers, for security and logging. Then, every service just ran as it's own daemon. Now I'm occasionally seeing posts like this reviving inetd.

The trouble we find is our v2 model, which we had hoped could have made improvements over v1, frequents the same unsavoury places that v1 did initially and continues to be compromised by the same vulnerabilities. It seems later versions are destined to make the same mistakes again. The only comfort though is that you have become accustomed to how to address the bug reports when they are filed.

Fortunately our V2 has also reached the point where we have been able to retire our bug reporting and pager setup as it now has its own implementation of this functionality. Although sometimes the reports are less than ideal, such as this evening what it filed a bug report, very loudly, 30

There are some good points in here about NAFLD. It's worth pointing out that (i) high sucrose (and/or fructose) intake makes it hard for people to self regulate appetite (i.e. not overeat). And (ii) the above stated ill effects of high sugar consumption are basically stopped in the presence of a caloric deficit -- e.g. IIRC there are controlled chimp studies on this and inadvertent human 'experiments' like with food shortages in Cuba in the 90s. But I don't think (ii) is particularly relevant for rich countries whereas (i) is.

>This is not about self-discipline, it is about public policy.

it can be instructive to compare school lunches in the US vs other rich countries. Not everyone serves highly processed junk food for lunch.
I personally know healthy people not in the "old" age groups who have permanent nerve damage from mild cases of unvaccinated (pre-vaccine) Covid. We have known from the beginning that Covid sometimes causes nerve and/or brain damage (sensory loss) that may be permanent. As I am not a virologist any more than the author of this piece, I am not comfortable making blanket pronouncements like this from TFA:

> For the past two years, Americans have accepted more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults.

There is already precedent for other acute respiratory infections (Scarlet Fever, influenza) causing cardiac damage that persists for decades. I don't understand how so many people are willing to make conclusions about long-term complications from pediatric Covid in the absence of long-term studies.

I also don't understand how one could write about tradeoffs for children without mentioning the growing ranks of Covid orphans, some of whom will be adrift in our anemic social services system for the coming decades. Besides that, losing a parent is one of the most traumatic events a child can experience. Discounting to zero that trauma given the scale of death in American is not doing the reader a service.

> uncensorability

I suspect that this will be a major issue in the long-run. Once these sort of crypto-based logins become synonymous with CP and terrorism, they're going to be shunned by the average person on the street.

Yes yes yes, people use email and whatsapp for the same, but at least there is the option for Google and Facebook to censor or block/ban those users (and it feels like there is increasing legal/legislational tension to try and compel the tech giants to actually do something in this area). You cannot say the same about an indelible blockchain.
I'm not sure I like this article. They seems to overstate what the sources they link to claim.

For example the article says

> Some researchers are skeptical that school closures reduce Covid cases in most instances.

But when you go to the study they link, it says

> Although school closures reduce the number of contacts children have, and may decrease transmission, a study of 12 million adults in the UK found no difference in the risk of death from covid-19 in households with or without children.

There's a big difference between, "You're just as likely to die from COVID if you have children" and "Children going to school doesn't increase the spread of COVID". The study even points out that closing schools "may decrease transmission", but the article completely ignores that.
> what I am arguing is that SCRUM as most enforced things "micromanage and/or ignore human psychology".

I think you are arguing Scrum can lead to these situations - which you cover in your other thoughts. And I agree, I have seen that often, however, I’d still don’t say it’s inherent to Scrum itself.

> how SCRUM is not micromanagement when every day, a guy (which in my decade long experience has always been either a manager-role or someone wanting to be a manager) comes and gets the report on the tasks that you work to the granularity of one hour (sometimes even 30 minutes for properly crazy SCRUM masters) and intervenes afterwards if he considers it needed.

Yeah that’s awful micro management. I know it’s easy to dismiss that way, but what you are describing is not Scrum, that’s just saying Scrum and making people miserable.

In the end, I do not want to argue for Scrum as the solution for everything. It’s really hard to do it right. On one of the teams I am consulting right now, we went away from Scrum because it didn’t work - fascinatingly due to different reasons as you mention, different mindset in terms of what management does and how control is exercised.

I live in a very old studio apartment (built in 1909) and it has a separate kitchen that is the size of the kitchen in most of my friends' single family homes. It is probably ~1/3rd the square footage of the entire apartment. Obviously that's just anecdotal but I do think that the kitchen used to be prioritized much more, at least in apartments.
>Also a good to refuel often. I try treat 1/2 a tank as empty and stop accordingly. On longer trips it lines up well with bathroom breaks.

This also helps limit the amount of water that can condense on the walls of the gas tank and wind up freezing in the pump or fuel line.

It’s possible modern cars have some countermeasures for this because it has been years since I’ve seen it happen, but an additional (potential) benefit.
Hope sure. But any optimism should be tempered by observing how adults who had less coddled childhoods 30 years ago are raising their kids today. What have they understood?

Where do you see this? As far as I can tell, it is off by default, and the user must explicitly enable it (consent) to use the miner.

See e.g. https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v... which mentions a License and Services Agreement that must be accepted before the miner can be used at all, and clearly says the mining status can be toggled between Active and Paused.
> the Perforce model

I've used both Git and SVN enough to understand how a VCS might change how an organization creates code, but I've never used Perforce. What is "the Perforce model"?
www.kagi.com has a similar feature. However your results are far worse, and primarily rely on user calibration whilst Kagi’s are more or less superior to Google’s. Fantastic idea though and a worthy competitor if you can fix the quality of results. How are you generating them?

The project managers have had a look at some of the competing products, and felt that matching features would be more competitive vs fixing existing bugs.

That's my recollection as well. There was a conservative meme in the late 90s/early 2000s about "Huh...it's cold during summer...how's that for global warming?", and I feel like "climate change" is a result of climate activist groups realizing global warming is a bad/confusing descriptor. I also recall in the early 2000s there was an attempt to get "global weirding" to replace "global warming" among activist communities, also seemingly in direct response to the conservative meme above.
At least it doesn’t show ads.
No idea, but I believe that was back in the 40s.
Thank you for your sharing your experience.
> I remember once I was giving a talk on code review and I said that code review doesn't prevent bugs and people were shaking their heads. Everyone hangs on to this one thing, but if you look at the majority of pull requests that have been approved you'll see a lack of comments about pontential bugs.

that's because the UX for github PRs sucks. Use Gerrit instead. It's not as pretty but it's super productive.

> I think the biggest problem with code reviews is it often becomes adversarial and people want to come out on top. I've had it more than once that someone has suggested another way of doing something, when I asked what the benefit of that way was or what was the downside of the way I was doing it no answer was forth coming however I was expected to implement their way. This becomes enraging when you point out flaws in their way but they can't find any benefit of their way.

that's not a problem caused by code review, it's caused by people who don't know how to work with others (or otherwise simply refuse to). to the degree that the code review process shines a light on this, that's good news, because that's a people problem that should be fixed.

> As well as, often people just don't want to do the extra work. You point about a bunch of small improvements. It's a pain.

when you look at a code review and you see problems in what's there, catching them in the code review is great, because that means less chance of having to fix it later.

if you see a code review and nothing's wrong with it, you just approve it. sometimes you can note things as "nits", meaning, fine for now but maybe next time do it this way.

> You end up with people asking for code style changes even tho there is a code style and the changes they're asking for aren't in those guidelines-

syntactical style and formatting should be automated, if not with tooling that actually rearranges the code in that way (e.g. [black](https://github.com/psf/black) for Python) then at least including well tuned linter rules. We use black, my own zimports tool for sorting imports, flake8 with four or five plugins as well as "black check", so we spend exactly zero time dealing with anything to do with style or code formatting, including having to even type any of it. if people are fighting over code style then there need to be tools that lock all of that down so there's no disagreements.

> People know it's a good thing to do but people have no idea how to code review and what is and what is not benefical during code review.

I work on the Openstack project and that is where I learned to do code review with Gerrit, it is completely essential for large projects and is an enormous productivity enhancement. Decades ago before CVS was even invented, the notion of using source control seemed crazy to me. That position was obviously insane, even though we were stuck using Visual Source Safe at the time. That's how it feels to me to be doing a real project today without code review and formatting tooling in place. Like even for myself, if working alone, for a large project with lots of changes I still use a code review tool, just to review myself.
It's almost as if people go there to retire or something.

Regarding salt, From the link, “babies” is different than kids. I doubt salt is going to hurt anyone older except in specific cases like heart disease or something.

I don’t buy the saturated fats thing either, except to the extent that they are a source of calories. If you have links to some studies that indicate negative outcomes vs the same caloric intake from other sources I am willing to read them.

I think I largely agree with this article.

When I worked for Apple, we had a strict "all code needs to be reviewed" policy, which I had no problem with. Then, after being there for about 1.5 years, I make a PR, ask two different people to approve it, which they do, and it gets merged. A week later, the code is released, it looks like my code caused a fairly major bug.

My manager's manager and my manager had a meeting with me, and told me that this was unacceptable. I ask "what exactly was I supposed to do differently? Clearly this bug was sneaky enough to where two other people also didn't see it." Their response was "the code needs to work, you wrote the code, the code was sloppy. This is your fault." Apparently they took the bug pretty seriously, since it was actually mentioned in my yearly review.

This is fine, I probably should have tested the code a bit better, but it always annoyed me that my "sloppy" code managed to pass code review [1], and yet I'm the only one to get in trouble over it. If the PRs aren't catching bugs and I still am going to get in trouble, then I'm failing to see why I should bother waiting an hour for someone to look through it. Instead, why not make it so we can merge quickly, test it quickly, and revert it if something breaks?

[1] Obviously I'm biased here, but I honestly think that in this particular case I was pretty easily the least-liked person on the team, and it was easier to throw me under the bus than anything else.

Typically, reliable authority. Though the organization as a whole is often targeted by right-wing propaganda outlets much more critically than right-wing propaganda is denounced by the rest of society.

This article is a hashing out of concerns parents or others have regarding children and how they've experienced COVID-19 as well as associate non-pharmaceutical interventions. Dynamic control problems are hard, even more so when agents (people) are autonomous like public health contexts. Time-consistent preferences expressed in policy are also hard, as there is incentive to bend rules in the very moments those policies are written for.

Talking by experience, my kids would just eat dessert and cry later that they want more dessert.

I went in the opposite direction. I put a small portion of meat on the dish. When it's over, I put some vegetables; rinse and repeat until the portion of food is assimilated.

It seems like giving small goals is helping with going through the entire dinner and not having a choice minimises building up dislike for a specific food.

I think the reasoning for the second phenomenon is something like:

1. I can eat potatoes or chicken.
2. I like potatoes.
3. I'll eat potatoes.
4. Remember that dislikeChicken++
4. Go back to 1 until I'm full
The NLP in mine seems to be totally broken. It thinks “Stop throwing your food on the floor!” Means “Please, do that on loop.” Also, it supposedly has the advanced AI capabilities, but its driving is way worse than Tesla Autopilot.
And explains why it is also so messed up at the same time.
I joined the team at Mozilla that developed Persona as an intern, just as they closed it down.

Persona failed because it was fighting against a head-wind of an already established trend of using Google/FB OAuth2, without giving the service provider any new benefits. There was no incentive for a website to actually implement Persona, since it was just another auth provider and users weren't using it. Users didn't use it because no one implemented it. Chicken and egg.
