That was my solution since 2011, but just a few months ago I bought a nas that came with a Google Photos clone and moved everything over to that. Too scary knowing that Google can and will lock me out of my account at any time and forever.
> The page also pulls a lot of scripts off the Internet on every load, so that too is not explained anywhere clearly and it's absolutely not good for hosting private photo archives.

Well to be fair, that can be explained by the whole 'drop this PHP file in and wham' model they are going for. Personally I would not advertise / make something like this as the single-file model becomes more and more of a constraint as the project evolves. It feels needlessly limited just to fit the single-file goal.
I love R, nothing better for data analysis, stats and plotting. However, if I was making software for other people to use, repeatedly, I would probably pick another language. The R language does have breaking changes, especially in commonly used packages.
I work now with Flutter full time and love it, but on my way from web Vue.js to mobile development with Flutter, I was researching different app frameworks, and I watched some videos with the main author of BeeWare/Toga, Russell Keith-Magee. The presentations are very engaging and the solution that this project came up is really something.

This is my favorite video by Russel [0], it really is a fascinating project, and he is a great speaker.

With that said, I don't really see it becoming a widely used framework. No matter how creative the solution is, it's hard to compete against real native, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile, Flutter, React Native, Electron, and more. The most complicated example I saw with BeeWare is a todo list app [1]

dtplyr is an option as well which lets you use tidyverse syntax with data.table backend. Speed and syntax.

If you learned data.table however, it's better to just stay in data.table. Nothing in the tidyverse can touch the efficiency of data table.
The steep part of a sigmoid curve DOES grow almost exponentially though. What's the point of saying this? It's like saying, "sure we are making great progress, but eventually the universe will come to an end and we'll all be dead." Who cares? Why not worry about that when we're there?

> Since when did this become a partisan issue?

Right around the 70s iirc. That's roughly when the modern progressive wing of the democratic party started to coalesce, and they've always had a big focus on it.

Though it's a little weird how much heat it generates given that it's only a "top 5" issue for about 6% of people. [0] If that few people people even bring it up on polls, I'd expect any attempts to create drama out of it to fall flat much more than they do.

I have been happy for advice on how to reduce it going forward.

You didn't do that, your solution was 'don't write software'.

I like the wireless chargers, but until Apple added the MagSafe to ensure your alignment was correct I wouldn't have recommended them to people.

My wife and I had too many times where we'd put our phones on the charger and in the morning realize it hadn't charged.

...not sure how that leads to never losing your phone though? I don't see the connection. How would wireless charging affect that? You still have the hardware you connect to.
I attended an intro to R workshop and found it very confusing. Being "functional" had nothing to do with it. Inconsistent, yes very much so in my opinion. It felt like a lot of little separately developed tools thrown together into a bundle. But I think mostly my difficulty with R is that I'm not a researcher or statistician. My exposure to and experience with those domains was an undergrad class or two many decades ago. If you don't deeply understand the problem space for which R is intended, you will be lost and confused trying to learn it.
I did read the article. It didn’t say anything about teachers inability to punish disrespectful students.

Rather, it said things like this:

> One of the things that students benefit from (diverse educators) is this idea of seeing themselves not only leading classrooms, but also in the curriculum

Do you see the difference? They want to engage students by empowering them. In contrast, you wanted to demand respect through fear of punishment. It’s not hard to imagine why your days were plagued with interpersonal conflict.
The more important question is really what they do better than existing solutions.

There are numerous use cases for segways. Virtually none of them beat just regular walking.
> No pricing info?

Not clearly visible until you scroll down to the very bottom, no. Most paid projects like this (that I have seen, anyway) have clear pricing info on the front page, or at least a Pricing item in the navigation bar. This site has neither. I feel like this is a bit misleading as you're immediately told to download the file, then perhaps discover that it is paid software later (or once you've already installed it), but I am willing to assume incompetence on the developer's part here.

...All of which require extensive logistics to employ that have hitherto been predicated in the Armed Forces not being on the wrong side of the American public's ire. I.e. you can handle hostile logistics in Afghanistan because it isn't that hard to get the raw materials stateside, and move them through Allied supply chains.

Remove the part where it's easy to get things Stateside, and I assure you, a U.S. military coup/junta will be fighting a two sided war as well. Both internal from the populace, and external from former Allies who in no way, shape, or form are going to sit idly by and be threatened by a militaristic U.S. Armed Forces that's even remotely controversial enough to even be considered a coup by the populace.

I appreciated this careful look at the legacy of E.O. Wilson and his sociobiology by historians who actually bothered to study his archive to adjudicate some of the claims that have been made about Wilson since his death, both by detractors and supporters. I decided to post it here because there were some previous submissions that got a lot of comments, many of which were supportive of Wilson.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29990427

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29741171

The writers of this piece conclude that, though Wilson made many important contributions, hagiohraphic accounts fail to address important flaws and mistakes he made, particular with regard to the sociobiology he advocated.
Anybody who finds this interesting should look into tughras.
I hear you entirely.

I tend to think there are countries which have reached the "no-win" stage of public relations. It sort of reminds me of when the UN sent inspectors to Iraq looking for the legendary WMDs-- even transparency wasn't good enough. The fix is in, and there's no reasonable sequence of definite actions they can perform that would get China on the West's good side. They could walk Joe Biden personally through the length of Xinjiang and someone would still say "they must have hidden the prisoners!"

Every positive story about China is always tempered with "but but Tibet/the Uighurs/social case-celebree of the week."

That slant, in particular, is particularly annoying. It's dehumanizing because we're treating a country of over one billion people as a single undifferentiated unit.

Did any of the tens of thousands of people who worked to deliver this event get up in the morning and think "Gosh, if I just paint these bleachers just right, they'll let people I don't know, 5000km away, get away with a genocide! Can't wait!" I doubt it. On the ground level, this is the work of ordinary people with ordinary motivations-- and the concept of "If we're going to be on a global stage for two weeks, let's do the best possible presentation we can." is not some malicious whitewashing conspiracy. They don't deserve the slander.

I have to wonder if we're in a situation where we're looking for an enemy. The Cold War was great for business-- it justified eternal defense spending and trade restrictions against a major economy. What a coup if they could pull it off against China!
It's a bit unfair to compare it. We don't know how much Stadia cost to run (bandwidth and infrastructure) compared to Xbox Cloud.

Xbox Cloud might have had business constraints, to you know... not get shut down.

Also there are quite few videos on YouTube that show input lag of several seconds on Stadia so you might have been close to one of their data centers.
Why do you discard the possibility that Tesla will save lives in the long term? You may say it is unlikely, but it is not like Musk did not deliver world scale breakthroughs.

Also, regarding the medicine, do you really believe we do not do "unethical" medical testings? I guess it depends on your ethical standards and how high they are :)

But let's get back to cost benefit trade off. COVID vaccines tests were rushed. So it is obviously sometimes worth it.

There is a risk in not taking a risk.

I think for me, someone who is actively diving deep into Discourse and hoping it'll work because I love the search and the open-source aspect of it, I still find the UX to be off. I guess I'm used to shorter interactions online, in comments sections or on social media, and Discourse doesn't seem to do those that well.

Now, that being said, they have an alpha version of chat, which is the main reason I've jumped more into it as of late. By being able to take conversations from the chat and port them to topics, making them longer-term group memory and more searchable, gives me some hope.

Still, some of the things just feel clunky. I wish I could put more words to it, I'll try to reflect more.

edit: it also doesn't have a mobile app (it has DiscourseHub, but that's not dedicated to each instance). While the mobile web version is better than most mobile web versions, it's still not an app, which can frustrate me on iOS.
I wonder if they will be applying a unified definition for child sexual abuse material, or if each service will be free to look for whatever the local jurisdiction deems as such. My country (Bulgaria) doesn't define it per se - all porn is illegal[1], but there is an additional punishment if it involves "a person under the age of 18, or appearing to be such".

The parts where our rules notably differ from (as far as I understand them) those of other EU nations are:

1. Transmitting any pornographic material is a crime. Possession is not criminalised (unless of persons under the age of 18, or appearing to be such).

2. Every clause includes the words "of a person", implying that drawings are not subject to them. I don't know enough law to say for sure.

3. The rules against child sexual abuse material specify "person under the age of 18, or appearing to be such ". The latter part seems to not be part of other nations' laws.

It's interesting to me how common this bug with the coloring of repeated letters in guesses is in Wordle clones, as well as how often there are disagreements in comments about what the correct behavior should be.

IMO, this is something that ought to be called out in a hypothetical formal specification of Wordle, but I kind of like that it isn't mentioned in the instructions for the game, from a gameplay/learning perspective. It encourages people to reason through what the correct behavior ought to be on their own, and to experiment to see how the implementation marks guesses; the assumption that letters can't be repeated is one that a lot of people don't realize that they're making.

The irony is that Ghrelin the hunger hormone increases intelligence. Its nature's way of helping mammals become innovative in obtaining food.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805706/
"Ghrelin also promotes rapid reorganization of synaptic terminals in the hypothalamus28, and in the hippocampus it promotes synapse formation in dendritic spines and LTP, which are paralleled by enhanced spatial learning and memory formation29."

I am amazed at how much the financial system imitates what life would be like living in the wild 1000's of years ago.

Myself and my cofounder can reproduce the exact same issue every time with each of our MBP 2019 5500’s. Another team member with a 5400 running the exact same dev environment as me has never had the issue, so there’s something funky on that model.

If you use something like Syncthing[0] (great, can recommend) you'll get them available exactly where you want them: on all your devices.

I’ve bought two monitors that I really loved: an Apple Cinema Display 27” for $2000 in 2003, which was a crazy amount of money for a monitor at the time. I used it for 12 years. And an Apple Pro display with all the options for $7k last year, which seemed a little crazy but it’s just unbelievably good, like looking through a window, and I won’t be surprised if I use it for 10 years. If you’ve got the money, a really good monitor is worth a lot.

You mean the joy of working from home and complete isolation?
I wonder if they have done studies on what the cost of electrification is for hybrid trains. A lot of the complication of electrification is that you have to raise road bridges to make space for the overhead power lines, you have to make tunnels larger and you have to put power lines 100s of places where they are really hard to install.

But imagine a train that can go for a kilometre or two without power lines, because it's a hybrid. Suddenly every low bridge and most tunnels are handled by just lowering the pantograph (power pick-up) as you go under them. If lines cross in strange ways or go under buildings you just don't put power lines there. At level crossings you skip the power lines, so no tall trucks will hit them.

I think there are probably huge savings to be made by putting the power lines in the easiest places and bridging the rest with hybrid. The battery recharges at speed as soon as power returns. You can even install a small diesel motor on the locomotive that has enough power (with gearing?) to creep to the next overhead power line if the train is unexpectedly stranded.

When a power line is downed by a tree (or a cable thief), the cleanup crew just removes that section. It is put up later when the backlog from the storm has been cleared.

Of course you need the train to know its location and have an updated list of where to lower the pantograph. That seems to me like a totally solvable problem in 2022. It's like 100 times easier than a self-driving car or landing a rocket with retropropulsion.
So each HTML element can have a a JS onclick handler (via htmx) that hits the server, which generates HTML, and the requesting page then uses JS to replace the instructed DOM node?

This reminds me of the era before AJAX when we used to POST to a hidden iframe, and then JS in the hidden iframe would update the parent page.
If this is open source is there a good way to get involved?
I think the point about interactivity is pretty well understood. Another comment in the thread pointed out how the majority of people who write R do it in RStudio and RStudio's defaults push an interactive workflow on the users (the nature of the work you do has a similar effect). So even for someone very new to the language it's pretty obvious.

This phrase is often used to malign those with a different understanding or opinion. Most people who question the efficacy and safety profile of the experimental Covid vaccines are neither anti vaccine nor nutjobs.

The talc powder lawsuits are because it is suspected or causing cancer. Yes, they made something with long term side effects. Which is why some are concerned about the rushed implementation of Covid vaccine mandates.
It isn’t hard to generate much better error messages for the BASICs of that time. I think they would have had much better error messages if they weren’t as memory constrained as they were.

One thing I read is that western diets severely lack in fiber which usually leads to loss of microbiome diversity [1]. But studies like this are still early stages, we need targeted results based on all this to really have any effect.
