I believe you, sounds like a bit of a bother to train the new cats as well. Makes me wonder though if once one cat was trained, if you got a new kitten whether it could pick up the behavior from the trained older cat. That'd be pretty great - the gift that keeps on giving.

Isn't it good to challenge even established consumption, despite many not want wanting to, since such research has great potential to reduce harm?

Tobacco is a widely established product, yet because of research and education society is changing to reduce harm.
Another thing that would be extremely helpful is improved logging. If the ssh-agent logged the entity that was attempting to hijack the connection it would be pretty easy to write detection logic for weird shit.

We'll probably publish about this in the next few months, my colleague added some logging and we wrote ~10 detections on the process tree + IPC signatures. It makes the entire attack extremely dangerous for an attacker.

"Because I pay taxes I should have a say in how that money is used" seems like an argument, but you also seem to reject the inverse of the argument "Because this person doesn't pay taxes they shouldn't have a say in how tax money is spent". That makes it seem like you don't believe that paying taxes is what entitles a person to vote.

Regarding your other point, that "living somewhere should be reason enough" that is really just a restatement of the conclusion. i.e. "Non citizen residents should be allowed to vote because non citizen residents should be allowed to vote." It's tautological.

To me, it doesn't make sense to say that long term residents who have invested in the community, potentially over generations, should have an equal vote to newcomers who are not even citizens.

“ALONE” and “SHIRT” cover 1st to 9th and 11th most common letters in English dictionary but then, you'll be getting more yellow letters in first two words which might not be the best approach (compared to completely eliminating 10 letters altogether).

Then, for words like “_OUCH”, it might be optimal to come up with a word containing as many potential first letters as possible (while omitting letters already in use, “ouch” in this case).

One thing I've done to help with the smell is put a smaller air purifier on low next to it running continuously. This really helps a lot in my experience compared to having nothing. It can still smell a bit if the robot is full and nothing is cycling or one of the cats has just used it, but other than that there is largely no smell. The other thing that helps a lot is changing the carbon filter on the robot on a regular basis, maybe every couple or few months, since once that goes a lot more smell leaks out.
Not suggesting Google per se. Obviously it's not easy to get in. I'm just holding that up as an example of a place that has high comp and low stress and I don't think it's the only such place out there that meets those requirements.

This comment is a nice reminder of how good my current clients are - especially regarding their comfort with asynchronous communications.

Finally: Don’t underestimate how good a stable, big company job is right now. Freelancing isn’t really the easy money that some people make it out to be, especially if you’re not actually free during the day because you have a job.

I am acutely aware of how much more money I could be making if I chose to work at a big company at the moment. Much better benefits, too.

I've ended up taking the perspective that consulting is a route where I can trade earning more money for having more control over my time. My current clients don't care that I dedicate half of my working hours to building and marketing the job site I'm working on. I get their deliverables done on time, on budget, and (importantly) right the first time. That's something they've had a hard time finding, and it shows in their willingness to accept my (relatively high) hourly rate.

I just read an interview in the guardian with author George Saunders that has 7 tips for writing (and reviewing what is written). One fits here especially: " Print - Revision is “not meaningful unless I print,” he says. “There’s a visual difference in reading on the page versus the computer. I don’t trust it unless I’m reading a hard copy.”"
So, basically if an award winning writer thinks like you do, there's nothing wrong with it :) (btw. his other tips are great too) actually, there are studies about this that agree (e.g. better retention when reading paper than when reading on screen) but I don't have them saved.

Bad urban planning in the US is arguably a bigger problem. Most people aren't rich enough to live within walkable distance of their nearest coffee shop, grocery store, and train station. Trains make you wait an hour outside in the cold wet rain without bathrooms while a mentally ill person harrasses you for half of the hour. Buses don't show up. Curb ramps don't have drainage, so you have wet socks. And the nearest actual bathroom is for "customers only" (at least for males).

So people drive. It's unfortunate.
Why do you think it would be less economically viable to use mining for rewards + heating rather than just rewards? It's both economically advantageous and arguably slightly less pollutive to offset energy consumption used for heating.

I don't think it's very helpful to vaguely bring up "supplements" like that. There are so many, and they range from being harmful, to being placebos, to being actually helpful. Plus there's a huge amount of utter quackery around them.

Love your comment.

doc-comments are good because it explains well what the class/method/whatever are there for, sometimes with examples, that helps understand the code.

But I hate that they use so much space inside the source code that I have to scroll hundreds of lines to read the code. And those doc-comments are filled with markup that makes it harder to read.

I would like a literate a system that generates source code that is well formatted and where the only comments are what the function does and some inner function comment where the code is complex. Every other lengthy and detailed description should be inside the produced pdf/html.

In this case it appears to me that the foundational assumptions required by the CausalImpact R package are violated, thus making the conclusions invalid.

Browsing the code, this looks like it is sending full screen JPEGs. Maybe someone can correct me, but I think RDP can be more sophisticated and send only the areas of the screen which has changed? From collection, they used to hook the GDI stack directly? This is why RDP has/had a better reputation than VNC for responsiveness. Maybe this server is working in the base case with no optimization?

> OpenSUSE also had upstart in the meanwhile but continued to support sysvinit as an alternative.

I wasn't aware of that ... it turns out that it was the other way around: openSUSE 11.3 has this item, implying it's not the default:

"Upstart is included as optional init system"

https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Product_highlights_11.3

openSUSE 11.4 then mentions systemd, although "experimental".

https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Product_highlights_11.4

openSUSE 12.1 defaults to systemd (see previous comment), with sysvinit as non-default option.

So Upstart was a short-lived non-default option.

> A big sell of Upstart and OpenRC was always that it was backwards compatible with old-style sysvinit-style scripts even though new ones were written in the new style.

You are right that there are no distinct modes as such, my memory is quite fuzzy as it's been some years, and I wouldn't rely on anything I say. And it looks like Ubuntu (unlike Fedora) did replace a lot of init.d scripts with native Upstart jobs.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/replacement-initscripts

I can't remember what the problem was with mixing init.d scripts and native Upstart jobs, or what impact it had, maybe it was not important in practice.

The Debian wiki has this item, but, well, it's a Wiki, so perhaps it's not the most reliable source.

Can't set proper dependencies until everything has converted from SysV init files to Upstart jobs.

“[…] far-UVC light cannot penetrate even the outer (non living) layers of human skin or eye; ”

Without reading their previous reference, this doesn't make sense. If it doesn't reach the outer layers, what’s blocking the light?

Also, I seriously doubt this wont cause cataracts in the long term.

By Wiki, light < 200 nm is absorbed by O2. The light proposed by the authors is 207< \lambda < 222, so about as energetic as UV can be and not be blocked by the atmosphere. Ill take their word that it cant make it past the layer of dead skin.

But what protects the cornea? Just the very thin layer of tears?

Out of curiosity, why would he not want them to do that? Seems very convenient and saves on cleaning the litter box manually.
I use an existing product for this exact purpose: Google Keep.

($insert_your_favorite_hate_for_google_products_here /s)
This is true. My cat definitely pees in the sinks and bathtubs sometimes even when his litter is fresh. He poops in the litter with no issues, so I don't think it's a location problem. My best educated guess is that he simply finds the sinks more convenient than hiking down to the basement.

I have no doubts that he would pee in the toilet as well, but I can't leave the toilets open because we have dogs around.

(Although, now that I'm typing this, I suppose we could install cat-doors on the bathroom doors to let the cat in, and keep the dogs out...)

The sink/bathtub peeing is definitely gross and not ideal. But, not as gross as it sounds. He very very precisely pees directly down the drain. The smell is almost unnoticeable. So unnoticeable that it took us a lot of time to figure out he was even doing it, since he sometimes pees in the box as well. The main danger to him peeing in the sinks is that it will make it difficult for us to know if he has a blockage as we can not monitor his urine output.

(I am not "noseblind" to cat pee smell, as far as I can tell. The litterbox is in the basement and if I neglect to clean it on a given day and there is pee in there, I can smell it from upstairs. I've also asked trusted people like my brother to verify there's no cat pee smell in the house! He's not afraid to give me harsh opinions...)

The assortment of medication available for depression is laughable. Even for other neurological disorders, they're so unselective and "broad spectrum," affecting numerous other systems, that it turns into an absurdity: how are we this far behind? Wasn't modern medicine supposed to equal better living?

It's like zero thought has been put into quality of life by practitioners, so long as their metrics are met

E.g. "x, y, z attributes on the ABC scale went down. Looks like you're in remission!"

"But doctor, my dick doesn't work, I've gained 40lbs, and everything feels flat."

"We can prescribe a stimulant for appetite suppression, a vasodilator for the libido... but the 'flat' is all in your head. I'm going to write you a recommendation to a psychologist so they can talk to you about it."

Absolute ninnies.

I understand what you mean about engaging in out-of-personality behaviors, lack of moral code, and the nausea and panic that accompanies the memories of "who you were" on a certain medication (they do go away, with time. And they lose their emotional impact once you accept that it was due to medication, and rationalize it away). They warn you that there might be personality changes, and you'll feel different, but I don't think they understand the absolute gravity of what that means. Even pharmacists go on their soapbox every time you ask for a different brand (because X brand doesn't feel the same, and the FDA has issued numerous warnings about quality control): "the only thing different about brand name medication is the marketing. They're all bio-equivalent and it's all in your head." Fuck off.

This isn't even addressing that it's likely most of the "anti-depressive" effect is placebo in SSRIs and the like. "Oh I feel very different now from this medication. That means it's strong, and effective, and I should be getting better now"; it's in the same vein as chiropractic, except with more woo-woo and theatre ("modern medicine!!!").

There are better substances that can be used off-label/aren't "copyrighted" that actually solve emotional issues by (properly) regulating neurotransmitters and genomic expression to achieve pro-humanist results, instead of soulless pro-metrics and "quantitative" results. But they're not being marketed, because the current batch of psychoactive chemicals is riding on decades of marketing and "works" (see: generates outsized profits).

In my opinion, almost all of these have been a net-negative on society. Opiates, benzos, "anti-psychotics," "anti-depressives," and the like: they're all shit.

There are better chemical (and lifestyle solutions) to these problems, but right now the medical complex has a hard-fought monopoly on health treatment; so anything that would usurp power from them is a no-no (a la "fuck pro-consumer, I'm getting mine").
