> But its subtle things that make all the difference between average and really good in something, these ones you can’t really learn without gettyhands dirty and making own mistakes.

I strongly agree here. It was the subtle things about breath control and muscle-tension control were what I learned while practicing marksmanship.

It is simultaneously true that a person starting out can sometimes see they need guidance to learn the 'trivial common knowledge' that others in a field are already familiar with. These things that seem 'trivial' to experts are things that help them avoid the "many ways to fail at getting good at something while doing it a lot."
stove/oven UX has been shit ever since they were first digitized. my first home had an analog-controlled electric oven: turn the dial to the temperature you want. every oven i’ve owned since uses up/down touch buttons to adjust the temperature in 5-degree increments. it turns the half-second process of swinging a knob to the right place into a 5-second process of holding a button until it hits the right temperature.

worse, i find myself trying to micro-optimize my use of oven temperature buttons: instead of holding up until the temperature is reached, i repeatedly tap it to make it go faster — but not so fast that the debouncing mistakes 2 presses for just one press, otherwise it’s net slower. i find myself actively making latency v.s. throughput decisions: i can preheat the oven by pressing “on”, dialing in the temperature, and then pressing “start”. or, i can press “on”, “start”, and then dial in the temperature and press “start” an extra time. preheating begins whenever you first press “start”, so this shaves off 5 seconds of preheat latency at the cost of 1 extra second spent on an extra button press.

i get irrationally angry every time i use a digital oven. the digital oven is like some looking glass into a half-dozen interlinking societal systems that have managed to settle into some totally unsatisfying equilibria… and they’ve stayed there for decades. it’s legitimately depressing.
Then we're all doomed. Regulation has proven they have neither the interest nor capability to do anything about it, GDPR being the perfect example which have achieved nothing more than make Web2 more annoying to use.
You have massive hardware pre-requisites for adopting any decentralized technology. Syncing Bitcoin node takes days, Ethereum weeks. Storage is constantly expanding. I think we still don't have hardware requirements to enable end-users decentralized self-sovereignty. You have storage limits, as well as network limits. This needs to improve (and get cheaper) more than 10x to enable blockchain native (meta) world.
Off topic: are there any good alternatives to PayPal and stripe?

> And literally none of it, not a single step that you mentioned requires blockchain.

Then tell me, where is this wonderful centralized database that tells me who owns which car?

Blockchains are not just about decentralization, it's also about publishing the actual databases in the wild for everyone to see, because you have the guarantee that no-one can fake it.

Sure, a lot of the use cases could be done with centralized databases, but that's the model we had for decades now, and I don't see any effort to make these centralized databases accessible to everyone.
Maybe, but it's more complicated than that. I was pissed off yesterday, sorry if my tone sounded worse than it should have been.

My reluctance against your suggestion is based not on my interest or lack thereof^. I've had this sort of discussions many times before, and usually people split into two categories: those who correct or argue directly, in short and precise argument, and those who refer to unnamed sources throughout the thread. From the first group you learn quickly, and consistently, and they leave no aftertaste, even if you feel "defeated", because their argument sends a strong educational message. The second is a potential time spoil. I've read "some works" before, and in most cases (or it's perceived as such) it turned out that that guy meant just a slightly different meaning, or an interpretation of that author, which is different from a common sense around a specific term, or simply they missed a big chunk of a message and pressed on a non- point, or were primarily just a narcissist troll. I can remember the last time I constructively "just went" and read a book on some Buddhism downstream, after an argument with one guy who claimed that it's very rational and isn't just a cool story (the topic was that one of their prophets arrived in my country). I downloaded it, read a preface and 20 minutes later it already narrated magic forest experiences and spirits who messaged truth to the prophet. Same story with Islam followers, sometimes they are talking nonsense and refer to Qur'an, which I've already read in seven translations, including interpreting one, with cancelled ayat remarks, and often I know surah and ayat range they're talking about right away. (Edit: I just noticed that both cases are about religion, which is known to be "hot", but it doesn't end with religion, it just happens to bring brightest examples.)

I'm not saying that you're not right, but it's statistically nonsensical to follow your vague suggestions to go read on a field. That is why it will never work, and you will think that these lazy careless STEM guys portray some trend. It's a trust issue, not an issue with my desire (or lack of it, which is the case) to learn something regardless of who my opponent is. I simply can't trust few hours of my life to every other guy on the internet, if they don't provide a good enough argument to do that.

^ which I already claimed non-existent, it feels like you don't like to read comments at all
Not all Thinkpads are born the same : you have the workhorse : T14, T15 P14, X13 that are a bit heavy and have very good Linux support and maintainibility, like add ram, Switch SSD, or so. An the fancy ones X1, X12, yoga, that are slimmer, but less Linux compatible and less maintainable.
There was a update on bitcoin last year ("taproot") to improve that issue.

Prior to that it was absolutely the case that multiple sender addresses caused multiple fees.

Not sure about other cryptocurrency.
there is no arguing that the world of crypto is full of scams. just like the internet. we can learn and adopt new technologies while keeping down its externalities by understanding the pros and cons, not by slapping overgeneralised labels of "good" or "bad" on everything to cover for the lack of rounded understanding
good example. due to insufficient knowledge about its effects (no theory regarding matter and its interactions) humans had to go by trial-and-error. which led to bad outcomes like consuming lead, mercury and countless others agains ailments/diseases. so, one could see it as a very long-running clinical phase II(?) trial. so thank you science for not judging morally but giving us explanations and real evidence so we can decide if and for whom it may be appropriate.
2000-2010 internet companies had to actually have revenue, or have users or some value.

Before the dot-com bubble there was hype about anything involving the internet.

Just like today, any business plan involve blockchain is awesome.

Presumably you’re talking about a loan against an NFT or other crypto asset. But taking a loan against a financial asset is already really easy. Does loaning against a house, car or stock portfolio get any easier with crypto? I don’t see how.

The digital object in your second example is just a hyperlink or a hash, because the digital object itself won’t fit on the blockchain. And there is no link between digital and meat space identity, which means it’s exchangeable but not between people.
The last paragraph of the article suggests she's already gotten away with it...

Bitcoin had a problem to solve, it had a use case, from day dot... Satoshi set out to replace central banks that can inflate the money supply.

It was supposed to be relatively boring tech solving a niche problem (from the guy on the streets point of view)
But building put transfer capacity is a known quantity.

I would think energy storage is harder to solve than building more transfer capacity?

In terms of fine control, induction is a game changer (me resisting moving from gas for a long time). I use lower, more precise cooking techniques more now. For high-temperature (e.g. searing a steak) stuff, there's something different about how it heats. I haven't worked out what it is yet, as induction gets the pan insanely hot really fast (on 'boost mode'); almost too hot, which should be excellent, but seems wierd, and sometimes seems to burn the pan. But for that kind of cooking I use the gas BBQ outside mostly.

Having bought an induction stove when refitting our kitchen, then replacing it with a different one a couple of months later, I can advise that the size of the elements matters. The 'linked zones' thing seems to be rubbish, and doesn't heat evenly (maybe it does on really high end stuff). I now have a three-element stove (60cm) - one really big one and two smaller ones. I don't think I've ever used 4 burners at once anyway...

I just wish there was an API for induction stoves; interfacing with a thermometer to keep a certain temperature, or for a set time, or even a removably physical control panel (i.e. knobs) that would let you put it away and keep the flat-top thing (which is actually really nice when you need the bench space).
then capitalism is the same too.

A few years ago I was earning a fair chunk of loyalty points (and hence air miles) by buying gift cards in supermarkets, then immediately depositing the full value of the gift cards into a savings account of mine.

This was entirely legal, and I was Making My Own Financial Decisions™, but the route got shut down pretty quickly anyway.

I'm not sure I agree with this argument. Learning stuff by diving in and doing stuff immediately without studying the basics first may be fun and interesting, but it might lead to fundamental gaps and misunderstandings too.

I learned to write code from the bottom up. It was sometimes dull and hard work, but I think in the end I got very good at it.

On the other hand, I learned to play golf by just playing games. It was fun, I got ok quite fast... and then I never got any better. My nephew started playing by having proper lessons and could beat me after a few weeks.
What? I thought ventilation of water heaters was a legal requirement. I am sure it is in the UK. It is illegal not to do this. Because of CO poisioning.

Same with furnaces, heaters, etc.

I like my current setup - the entire boiler is outside and away from any windows.
Fair. Let’s see how it plays out.
I felt goofy about using Google Docs early on too, felt totally wrong but collaboration is so important. Is Google Docs "ready for professionals"? "Good enough" eventually wins in these situations.

I probably have older files on Google Docs than documents on my computer -- Local archival isn't inherently safer. "When Google goes out of business.." used to be a reasonable thing to say, a while ago.
This is not cool at all.

It's no wonder that so many people struggle with the effects of trauma from (seemingly omnipresent) misogynistic abuse.

Is there any escaping it? Any way to fight back?
If you're helping nudge and whisper other people into success, you'll develop a reputation. Managers will want you on their teams and they'll make time for you to do your special magic.

Questions about what you're doing and how to have the effect you'd like are really better directed to a mentor than a web forum. Even if you don't have any "official" mentors, you probably have unofficial ones - people you know who advise you. If you're not sure if you have those, seek someone out, ask them, and get an explicit mentor.
I changed jobs on 1.1.2022. The first trigger when I started looking for another job was solely because of compensation. When I learned what I _could_ make and my boss (two levels above me actually) just ignored my requests for half a year, I started looking. Soon I realized that I could also shift the focus of my work towards something I enjoy even more doing, so that became a reason as well. Now, after being two weeks on the new job, I noted that maybe the company culture is also a factor, but it did not drive my decision process at all.

There are all kinds of limitations in how exactly you are allowed to use your money. And settlement of such a large amount of funds between two parties is not simple and fraught with danger if you "do it alone".

Bitcoin or your blockchain of choice has no such issues though! You can prove to your seller that you have the funds, as well as even pre-commit the money in a smart contract, or a multi-sig transaction. Doing so would completely remove the need to wait on the slow and inefficient banks to do their thing.
This. Building a webshop with crypto is the most trivial thing.
Complying with all the legal regulation that buyer and seller are bound to is the actual complex part. Insanely complex.

This is possibly worse than the C preprocessor.
Yes, this is true, but the money (or lack thereof) can be the thing making them unhappy.

I agree in principle, though. Looking and applying for jobs is stressful. Attending interviews even more so plus it will cost you holiday. People aren't just doing this speculatively just in case they can get a better offer elsewhere. People only go through this if they are thoroughly unhappy in their current position, for whatever reason.
Has Vanuatu been affected by tsunami or ash ejecta?

I grew up with the ~10 MHz 8086 PC, and I was on bulletin boards and the Internet around the 486 era, still stuck in the "tens of megahertz" era. Even wireframe 3D rendering at 640x480 was glacially slow. CAD applications on a CPU without a floating point unit were just unbelievably painful.

800 MHz and a solid state disk is luxurious if you're not wasteful with it. As the article's author points out, this is "not up to you" ("we"/"us") any more, other people get to decide how much JavaScript to shovel on top of web applications.
Winner take all elections ( single person wins per constituency) is still fundamentally flawed, because it disenfranchises too many people. Even with ranked choice, there will be "losers" who didn't vote for the winner, and nobody represents them and their choices and wishes. Proportional representation deals with this.
When it comes to being minimalist, can you not make TailwindsCSS as minimal as necessary or go crazy with it as you see fit? I found it having the right balance. Especially since it is popular with better support and good documentation.

Just curious about the thoughts since I have never dived the classless CSS train. Also am new to front-end.
> I declined because I don't negotiate like that. If you mismanage a negotiation, there is no do-overs just because you overplayed your hand. The trust is broken.

As a freelancer, this is a pretty standard scenario where you need to have somewhere to go when you tell an old (even cherished) client about your latest price rise. If the current employer needs extra time to think it over, even by a bluff call, it's nothing personal to me.

Not that I am a hardened business person, far from it - I just have a blasted view that there are no real friendships in business that trump the 'bottom line'. If I had had a different experience in my working life, I would have welcomed it! Contracts exist because trust in business is too risky a strategy.

This is gonna sound super random but one thing you can add to the political positions is prison reform(for profit, quotas, in jail cus can't post bail for non violent crimes) and fair sentencing.

There is a reason why that's a paradox.

It's referring to natural gas. Probably similar effects with propane.
A variety of ISPs in different countries, including some of the biggest ones in the USA and India, have been performing MITM attacks on HTTP traffic for many years, injecting their own stuff, sometimes to notify you of service-related matters (which is a terrible way of delivering such notifications, especially when it breaks various pages for various reasons), but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of at least one case of them injecting ads and other potentially malicious stuff too. ISPs as a class have proven themselves untrustworthy, time and time again. Doing anything in cleartext is just asking for them to mangle it.

And that’s just the active. The passive is pervasive too, and is an attack (RFC 7258). And so I use the term “irresponsible” of anyone running any web service except for a very few specific purposes over cleartext HTTP.

There are reasons why we’ve shifted from cleartext to TLS for everything, not just for things conveying sensitive data.

I think this distinction is worth mentioning whenever the comparison with fascism comes up. There is communist philosophy that we can discuss or joke about like OP that is somewhat disconnected from the brutal historical reality. This is not possible with fascism which is purely political (there are pretty much no fascist philosophical works).

China is integrated into the world economy as another (massive) capitalist entity.[1]

One can raise the standards of living and make scientific advancements at the cost of destroying the planet with regards to human habitation and survival. But I [don’t] see how any sane person would make that argument.

No one can argue against the fact that capitalism has brought about things like scientific advancements, AC and whatnot. So it is very good at the objective of expand-expand-expand. And now we see where that will lead us.

I hope you ideological handmaidens of this system will sleep well for the next decades. Probably you will since you will just make up excuses about how all other external factors were really the cause. Or: All good things in the world were caused by capitalism while all bad things were caused by some inherent human traits (greed, malice) that would have manifested themselves in any system or context.

[1] In before “but China is communist”: then, for the sake of consistency, all “made in China” products were in large part made possible by Communism. And I hear there are a lot of consumer products that are made in China.

The list is not actively maintained in any way. I immediately found a rather offensive term with the description of a job title, when in reality it just being an offensive slur. Three comments mention that. The entry (from 2017) is unchanged to this day.

"pretty green" is not a unit of measurement.

How "green" something is, is determined by how much resources one unit of what it does uses, compared to how much resources doing the same unit of work on an alternative system uses.

eg. a petroleum lantern produces light more efficiently than a campfire. However, neither of them is "pretty green" compared to a LED.

Compare the amount of energy per transaction required with a PoS system to the amount of energy required to do it with, say, a credit card.
Very often, the desire to change arises from experiencing major pain (of which trauma is one kind).

But this is not always the case. The impetus for change spans the spectrum of human emotions including dissatisfaction, pleasure seeking, existentialist realizations and envy/peer influence.

Trauma is definitely not a pre-requisite for change. It may be the most observable external cause to the effect, but that doesn't mean it is more useful than the rest.

The people I know who reinvent themselves the most are those driven by joie de vivre and a sense of self-expression.
