But scoping, investigating, prototyping, etc are all forms of progress. Tell me that's what you're doing.

In my experience, "I got nothing done" is a giant red flag that the developer is actually stuck on something and not in a "I need a day or two to figure this out" way (because the developer would have said as much if that was the case).
Right, we've never had snow and cold in Virginia before.

> Where is the scientific proof that this isolated weather event is climate change?

There is no evidence that this event is climate change.

However, this is not an isolated event. Do you not remember Texas' snowstorm last year? These "freak, isolated" events are becoming more and more frequent. That is climate change.

If you only report your work as progress/no progress, then some days will look like nothing is happening but that’s not true. You might want to expands a little more on what you were actually doing rather than brush off the question with a “no progress” umbrella.
There's a difference between optimistically saying "Everyone is going to want our super expensive juice maker!" versus telling investors that you have built 1,000 functional juice makers when in fact the juice makers don't work.

The former is an optimistic projection of demand. It's not a lie if it turns out not to be true, since it's a prediction. The latter is a lie: it's telling somebody something that is objectively and unambiguously false.
> Pull requests don't prevent bugs.

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. Also, if you do see a comment about bugs they'll often be disregarded. This drives me up the wall when I've previously pointed out bugs and they've been found to be actual bugs and had to be fixed.

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.

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.

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-

In my opinion, code review is a massive waste of time that is often done purely as cargo cult. 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.
> 1.3 million registered snowmobiles in the US [0]

For fun, let's just say those are evenly distributed amongst the states and there are 26,000 snowmobiles available in Virginia at DoorDash's disposal. I'd wager snowmobiles wouldn't be the limiting factor in this operation.

If nothing else, the old testament is a fascinatingly well-preserved look at how people viewed life thousands of years ago. Although a lot of things have changed, the nature of human conflict and the desire for power haven't.
I've been working on a concept where, instead of storing passwords in a manager I use a generator that creates pseudorandom passwords based on a few, easy to remember things. It's essentially a hashing algo created in javascript. You provide a site name, a password length and a pin code and it will consistently generate the same pseudorandom string. Nothing is stored and the generator can be publicly hosted.

I think it's because we were never human here. Meaning we were never embodied.

Walk into a store or a house in the natural world, and people there know you're human, because you're embodied. We aren't online.

Here we are "users," "clients," "visitors," "the audience," "eyeballs" "data subjects" (GDPR) or "consumers" (CCPA). Entities embodied as servers are lords of their castles on the Web. We're just serfs, with no more rights or abilities than each of those grants separately.

The best we become instantiated (though only by implication human) is when we get "accounts" with server operators. Yet, with every account we add, we lose a little more of the agency that arises from autonomy and independence. We have measures of both those graces in the natural world, where we are embodied. But we don't here. And, as others in this thread point out, it is extremely easy to take boundless advantage of our structural vulnerabilities. And to normalize that in the extreme as well.

Of course the wizards among us can spin up personal servers, "own" (actually, rent) personal domains, and stuff like that; but the old client-server model is stacked against the world's muggles and only a bit less so against the wizards, since wizards also need their accounts with the networked world's alpha operators.

The best way to solve this, IMHO, is by developing business and technical solutions that can only come from our side, the human side. I list fourteen of those here https://customercommons.org/solutions/ .

No it's not.

The Genesis account states that the earth was created, then the oceans, then trees and plants, and after all that the sun the moon and the stars were created.

The correct historical order is stars existed, then the sun was formed, then the earth and moon, then oceans, and finally trees and plants.
A formal review step where you accept or reject the code, yes, is always there because of lack of trust.

Informal reviews can have a lot of different shapes, and provide a lot of different benefits. But anything that is a stop-the-process activity is there because you expect quality problems from the earlier steps.

(That said, no good developer trusts oneself. So if you don't have anything on your process that makes you trustworthy, lack of trust is the correct approach.)

Windows Defender is the only antivirus I have used on my personal machines since it first launch and I have never had an issue, though I suspect most of my good fortune is good internet habits.

I wonder how much modern windows really requires an anti-virus. During the Windows XP days it felt vital, but since then it has felt more like something everyone just does out of caution.

I would say a messenger service. One dispatcher, 9 bikers. In an urban area, I bet you clean up and we have very few messenger businesses here. It's in the logistics area, but more specialized...so you would focus (ie: advertise) deliver of things like prescriptions etc. Drones haven't really taken off in this space and FEDEX and UPS are having issues around theft of medications.
If Caddy were to support systemd socket activation, this self-restart dance is not necessary as the parent process (systemd) is holding the socket for you. And for other systems, they can use https://github.com/zimbatm/socketmaster instead. I believe this to be more elegant and robust than the nginx approach as there is no PID re-parenting issues.

But I suspect that most Caddy deployments are done via docker, and that requires a whole container restart anyways.
I've been relying exclusively on Windows Defender since before it was called Windows Defender. I view third-party antivirus software as pointless at best, and actively harmful at worst.
He didn’t give a current rating. “mAh” measures energy storage, and 3100mAh is enough to jump a car a couple times.

Jumping a car doesn’t take a lot of energy. But it does take a lot of power (and therefore current). Small Li-ion car jumpers can be surprisingly capable.
https://grapheneos.org/install/web is easy to use and GrapheneOS has broad app compatibility these days via sandboxed Play services (https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services).

There are over 6400 users in the GrapheneOS Matrix room with many experienced people always around at any time of day that are willing to spend lots of time helping new users.
You are oxidizing the iron instead of the chloride ion. The great reactivity of chlorine gas indicates that it requires much energy to prepare.

Er, not sure how I'm disagreeing or trolling. You claim I'm trolling without mentioning specifically why. Which parameter of the OP isn't being met?

You can install the android bitwarden, which maintains a local DB. You can use it offline, and you can sync as you need with a server as needed or never at all. Which fits my definition of "local first". To double check I just put my phone in airplane mode, opened my local vault, and saw my password DB, which I could edit.

You can sync by telling it to, and there's plugins for all major browsers. You can use a bitwarden provided server, run your own, or not have one. You can export and sync via dropbox, icloud, syncthing, etc. Not sure why you would do that instead of clicking sync and letting the client upload to your own server or a bitwarden server.

Not sure how this could be consider user hostile. The rust server in particular is open source, single command to install, runs happily in provided docker container, etc. Exports are available in .json, or .csv. You can export from a web vault, browser extension, desktop client, mobile, or even command line.

I'm not trolling, I use bitwarden on android, and vaultwarden (rust server compatible with warden) on the server and it works great. I'm quite fond of it's security, track record, security assessments, open source, SOC certifications etc. I also like having the local DB on a device I control and doesn't depend on any cloud, remote server, etc so I can have my password db accessible without any internet access.

It's designed for electric cars, but it does include weather info in its routes. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but it is there.
You are giving way too much credit to science in the early phase of industrial revolution. Science has been extremely important in technological development from late 1800s onwards, but the most critical leaps of late 1700s and early 1800s had little to do with Newton-style science. Instead, they mostly about engineering improvements, combined with a newly widespread social attitude that technology actually can be significantly improved. Flying shuttle has not been based on some theoretical scientific model, but rather on experience with making looms and ingenuity in improving them. Similarly, Watt didn’t create his engine based on theory of thermodynamics, instead he just observed that repeatedly heating and cooling the cylinder is wasteful, and came up with a technique to avoid that.

If you follow the development Industrial Revolution, you’ll see that it’s mostly thanks to ingenious engineers, not smart scientists. The scientists did occasionally deliver something valuable, often in fact paradigm-changing, but importantly, this only became very relevant around the turn of 20th century.
A lot of historians seem to see Kissinger as more the guy who thought of himself as 'horrifically adept', than the guy who actually was.

Google and Facebook are known for the best software? They are known for "some" exceptional software; but most of Google stack is crap. Facebook we can hardly know but they rely heavily on buying startups.
I don't consider it a waste. These features provide enjoyment, which has value. As far as software goes, they are no more wasteful than video games or media players.

Units of energy expended per unit of "enjoyment" is certainly a factor to consider, but in this case the extra energy consumed is very minimal.
Not necessarily, but the better items usually cost more. So do your 'due diligence' first of all before you buy anything.

My philosophy is "Buy twice as good, and buy half as many". I tend to pay a lot for a car, but I can happily keep it for a decade or more. Most of the guys who have bought my relinquished cars have been extremely happy with them. (I'm looking at you, SAAB 900 1987 Kombi-Coupe and 2002 Mercedes C200K Coupe, 14 years and 15 years respectively.)
We can be reasonably certain there were no such civilizations on Earth prior to modern human history, otherwise we'd see evidence in the archeological record or even fossil record. I don't mean finding silicon chips in a fossil or anything so advanced. I mean very simple things like ceramic chips or bits of worked glass that would survive for millions of years.

The only way a civilization at least as advanced as bronze-age humans existed 100k+ years ago is if it was visitors from a parent civilization on another world that died out. That's the only way you get advanced technology on a small enough scale that we wouldn't be able to find any clues because the clues would be localized to a tiny area we just haven't stumbled across yet (to be clear I don't think any such civilization ever existed).
It would also be interesting to see what would happen using the crystals grown in one solution as seeds in a chemically different solution. The right sequence might not be reactive, but you could layer them ...

Ooh, epitaxial growth! Could try that with a series of alums - Al(iii), Cr(iii) and Fe(iii) is all readily available.

It's a real shame, but unfortunately it seems endemic to the FOSS development ecosystem: people will work on things they think are cool; and stable, consistent, functional software is hard work and not very cool. Consequently we get a lot of opinionated little fiefdoms ruling over collections of frankensteined software and then the evangelical wonder why it isn't The Year of the Linux Desktop yet.
Couldn't you just burn plastic directly? Mine a landfill and burn it up.
An interesting caveat is that ray tracing has a high up-front cost, but rendering time is less sensitive to scene complexity than traditional polygon rasterization. Beyond a certain level of scene complexity, ray tracing can be faster, it's just that games are generally limited by what can fit in memory of a modern graphics card.

Regarding Pixar, they actually avoided ray tracing until they decided they really did need accurate reflections for the movie Cars. The reason is that traditional rendering is memory parallel: you can render a scene that won't fit in memory on a single computer by spreading the scene across a cluster. With ray tracing, the memory access patterns aren't predictable, so you have to have the whole scene fit in memory on every compute node. This doesn't matter for games because games don't divide the graphics computation across multiple machines.
I trust you with my life but do I also trust you with my money and my wife?
I've had a thought for a while about how to share the master key to my password manager when I die (so family can access bank accounts, etc.). One thing I thought of was to use Google's 'inactive account' feature to give access to a file someone I know when my account is inactive for 90 days. But that's such a long time period, and my loved ones might need that data in the meantime.

Another thought I had was to use some secret sharding scheme like this, but the venn diagram of people that I trust with the data, and the people who could competently carry out guarding and then revealing the secret is too small.

Looks like Lastpass has a solution[0], but it also involves a waiting period. And I'd love something that's open source and self hosted. Does anyone have a good solution?

Afterwards I feel smashed with depression as I go back to my shit rental house that I’m ashamed of.

It may sound like pat advice, but -- maybe you need to start looking for new friends.

The kind who wouldn't think twice coming over to your "shit rental" (which would probably be considered quite rich, not to mention safe and clean in much of the world). Just to hang out with you, watch a movie maybe, and share whatever kind of meal you're able to whip up on your gas stove.

Life is to short to be spent in situations of any kind where you feel uncomfortable in your skin. Even if it's not directly the fault of the people you currently hang out with.

But a good rule of thumb is: if you don't feel comfortable inviting these people to your home - or even telling them where (and in what circumstances) you live -- it's probably best to start moving on.

(And perhaps to other countries where the income distribution is far less skewed, and people are far less hung up on relative wealth and status as they are in the U.S. -- at least for a few years or so, to get over the current anxiety you're facing, and start to feel human again. But that's a side topic).

I really love the experience of trying really hard to answer every question as accurately and honestly as possible.
I think you inadvertently spelled 'inadvertently' wrong.
not that calling that "trolling" is exactly appropriate, but OP is clearly asking for sync over standard file sync methods, without having to run any extra server software, and "but you can export/import every time" is not exactly a good way of doing that...
It's not as ridiculous as it sounds as long as the testing and verification happens as part of the PR.

'Econometric models' have so many levers and dials on them that they be tuned to forecast whatever their operator wants them to forecast. Hence they mainly serve as a marketing tool to defend policies that their sponsors desire to get through Congress or the next board meeting or whatever.

As far as things like model projections for NAFTA, any relatively simple search turns up dozens of references. Google Scholar isn't all that bad for this, select a custom range 1990-1994 and enter "econometric model 1992 NAFTA projections". There are dozens of results. For example:

Appendix B, Macroeconomic Simulations of NAFTA
https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/103rd-congress-1993-...

You can find the same for those seeking to justify the China WTO deal c.2000 but I don't recall reading much about forecasts of creating something called 'the Rust Belt' all across the once-industrial zone covering a third of the US, or the resulting job losses and economic regional malaise. Perhaps something is missing in the models?
Do you have any suggestions or references to read up on?
