What happened during the 2003 blackout (practical engineering)
I propose a system where deaths are statistically assigned to causes.

Eg. if a person dies of lung cancer, then we roll a dice and say "theres a 1 in 6 chance that was due to pm2.5 emissions". If the dice rolls a 1, then we look around the town for sources of pm2.5, and we find that 1/6 comes from a candle factory. We roll another dice, and if that comes out with a 1, then we say "This factory emitted air pollution that killed this person".

Then we treat it in law exactly the same as if the person had walked by the factory and been decapitated by a piece of roof falling off. Ie. we let the family sue. We send inspectors to see if there is negligence involved, etc.
"Good UX" is dynamic, and depends on the search query, and the UX metrics of the websites you're competing with.

Recipe related searches will have different UX metric gradient than "creating a PTO policy"

I also kindly disagree with your assessment.

All things being equal, if you're Google, and you want to keep users coming back to Google Search, and you could show one of two pages for any search query, I think the only reliably metric to evaluate whether one page adds more value to the user than another page is through UX metrics.

Generally, if you can't find what you're looking for - you'll bounce and look somewhere else.

But if you Google something, then get drawn into the website because the writer knew the 'intent' behind the search, the writer/website should ALSO know what you need to know next, or likely questions to have, and serve you that content after they finish answering whatever is you originally Googl'd for.

For example, if someone searches "content writer job description", I can guess that

1. This is an employer that is actively in the hiring cycle

2. The next things they might need to know are average comp for content writers, the best place to find content writers, the best way to evaluate / test / interview them, etc.

So, if I'm competing with a page of content that is just strictly about "content writer job description", and I go above and beyond to educate you on what you'll need to know next - I should end up with better UX metrics that reflect an increase in value I provided over the page.
Agreed - I feel like there is scope for similar categorisation here, e.g that things that work together should be somehow adjacent. I am not sure what the layout here should be - perhaps 2 dimensions is not enough

It seems that this is mainly sorted by popularity/importance, with the most popular/import things at the top left.
The 14-day return period should actually be for all kinds of distance purchases, not just online purchases. For example, I agreed to purchase my car over the phone with a dealership and I got a 14-day return period for my car.

It's not about being stacked against one, it's more that one understands the constraints other might have and is more hesitant to reach out, instead of doing a round more of research yourself and using more general forums first.

>To me, the idea of Shu Ha Ri provides thinking tools, a language and a frame of reference to approach learning a new skill. When you are first learning something, variety of ideas isn’t usually the most helpful place to start. Once you get the basics down, then move on to experimenting and looking to integrate new thoughts or ideas. Your experiments will lead you to new paths and eventually you’ll move beyond the specific practices and evolve your own way of doing things.

That is a good summary.
I'm quite fond of Vuejs. It's easy to get started... my first experience with it was too drop in the CDN link and start with the basic example. It can easily do anything react can do.
Not new, really. I knew plenty of people who considered that acceptable behavior as far back as the 1970's. In fact it used to be an old TV sitcom trope that they'd buy the expensive TV for the "big game" or expensive dress for the "big dance". They couldn't afford it, but they could just return it the next day. Then they'd accidentally destroy it, and you were supposed to feel bad for them for now having to pay for what they bought.
Can you suggest better experts?

I stopped using them because of their awful support. The shared IP address our emails were coming from must have gotten on to a blacklist because 35% of our emails started being rejected overnight (not even making it to spam!) and their response was "just wait a few weeks, email reputation improves with time" like you can run a business when there's a 1 in 3 chance of any communication with a customer disappearing?!

Moved to SES and been smooth sailing since (and a lot cheaper).

79.8% of the population of India practices Hinduism, 14.2% adheres to Islam, 2.3% adheres to Christianity, 1.7% adheres to Sikhism, 0.7% adheres to Buddhism, and 0.4% adheres to Jainism

Definition of culture is too complex, but I'd say it's as varied (or probably more varied than) European.

When choosing a framework to build with now, I always look at how the project is funded and increasingly want to see a business backing it where it's a core part of their business model. That's what's so appealing about Svelte, now its effectively funded by Vercel, they need it to thrive as they want people to host their Svelte app on their platform.

The other one with an even more explicit in its commercial support for the framework is Ionic, you know the firework will always be supported as they use it themselves for their own consulting business. I see that as a massive plus.

Fentanyl is a working class problem. No-one remotely close to power (journalists, influencers, politicians) really care about working class people any more.

In fact as George Orwell put it, they are probably disgusted by them, and pretend to care about them to advance their own "socialist" leanings.
It is very humbling to know I’m not the only person to have had to implement bit banged MDIO recently.

If your PHY’s data sheet says clause 45 register access only and you don’t have GPIO access as the bus master, run away.

Unfortunately I was tasked with emulating a clause 45 PHY on a clause 22 bus. Without creative use of the microcontroller peripherals, it is next to impossible to achieve implemented a 2.5Mhz slave.

I had to use an edge interrupt to jump in to a while loop state machine, whose state was determined by a timer counter driven by the MDIO bus, with all GPIO acessd via hard coded bit banded GPIO.

Fun times, but this is definitely an FPGA job.
The proof is in the pudding, India is the size of western Europe. In contrast with the EU, it is extremely diverse in terms of language, culture, food and the contrast in wealth distribution is very stark.

Inspite of this it is still one nation, while the EU is constantly bickering about trivial things. It requires more than a thousand years to establish a civilisation, and India is a civilisation temporarily trapped in a weak western concept of a nation state.

>> Really the nation of "India" was created by Britain.

India has been recognised as a single entity for a long time before the British, for instance the Ancient Romans, Chinese, Arabs and Greeks.
BioNTech Unveils Mobile Covid-19 Vaccine Factories for Developing World
After having a look at: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/unix-text-processing/97... and a few man pages, I figured I could play with eqn like so:

eqn -Tpdf - <<eof | groff -me -T pdf > eqn.pdf
.EQ
sum from i=0 to infinity x sub i = pi over 2
.EN
eof

xdg-open eqn.pdf

I did not have much success trying to force it throug groff/troff and render pretty in a (wayland) terminal - with neither `--text` (as below) or `--tty`. But perhaps there is no such "magic" renderer?

I really don't think we should call the "environmental crisis" a "crisis".

For example, smoking probably causes more deaths than Covid. So, while it may be perfectly true that things like smoking and pollution are bigger public health issues than Covid, we never spoke of a "smoking crisis", and justifiably so.

The thing that makes a crisis into a crisis is that it's highly discrete in time and there is a temporally very limited window of opportunity to take action. This is true of Covid, but it's not true of smoking or pollution.

A politican speaking of a climate "crisis" is engaging in the same psychological manipulation tactic as a radio commercial telling you to "act now on this limited-time offer", or a used-car salesman telling you that you have to buy that car right now, because this other guy definitely just called and is now on his way to the lot, and will likely buy the car you're interested in as soon as you leave the lot.
<bigRant>

I just got a new job, mostly backend but with a bit of Ember thrown in, and I despise the framework. It's slow to work with, massive, and incredibly over-engineered and makes it so that creating the simplest of features is an absolute mess. Maintaining a sizeable Ember project is pure hell of traversing through 800 folders and files to find the one place the thing you're looking for is, since you can have a controller inherit from another, which inherits from another, which inherits from another ad infinitum, so good luck guessing where exactly that one attribute is coming from, or even what the hell it even is. The base controller might have a variable called `foo`, but then somewhere down along the chain that variable has been aliased/transformed into a completely different variable name with 0 bearing on what it originally maps to.

Handlebars templating is also *awful*, I cannot describe with words how much I despise Handlebars and everything surrounding it. To create a simple `if (foo && bar)` in a template, you have to do `{{#if (and foo bar)`. Okay, the `and` DSL is a bit weird, but not that bad. But then `if (foo && !bar)` becomes `{{#if (and foo (not bar))}}`. God forbid you want to do any kind of comparison though, because `if (foo < 0 || bar > 1)` becomes `{{#if (or (gt foo 0) (lt bar 1))}}`. You get the point, it quickly dissolves into an unreadable soup of brackets and DSL for very simple logical operands.

I could go on for a while about why I hate Ember, but I'll leave it at that.

It is not the numbers on the notes that matter, it is the loss of purchasing power.

In 1995, 1 USD = 32 INR.

In 2022, 1 USD = 75 INR.

Add to that the fact that USD is also losing value itself.
That's the kind of advertising I'd like too, but your tone suggests you're blaming the industry. But, could it be that it just works better than the "wholesome" advertising (for lack of a better word)? I think the problem, if it can even be called that, is more widespread than just the sellers. It's the sellers, the buyers and our culture in general. Not sure how one could address that, but blaming someone in particular isn't it, I think.
I figure it is worth trying anyway, as the cost to send an email/phone call is almost nothing compared to the time it takes to fill out paperwork for the small claims court and actually go and deal with that.
It’s a very reasonable comparison though. Billions of man-years have been ruined by the COVID fearmongers.

It’s perfectly reasonable the much scarier stuff we aren’t panicking about.
I love this response. If someone asked me that I'd feel like it was a "sir, this is a Wendy's" moment.
This has been discussed before, and the tl;dr is that it's unlikely to happen. The discussion here[1] gives a sample of the implications and thought processes behind it, considering what it would mean to have := in different contexts, but the conclusion was:

> It’s just an interesting thought experiment — we can’t practically do this even in a 2.0 release. It would be a massively breaking change: we would need to disallow implicit declaration of locals by assignment, which breaks all Julia code everywhere. I also think that what we do now is good and less annoying for new users since they will be accustomed to just assigning to initialize and declare new locals if they are coming from Python, R, Matlab or Ruby (to mention just a few).

(What isn't mentioned explicitly is that this would also break a lot of macro code which accepts assignment-like syntax, which would have to deal with this new type of node in the AST and make decisions about how to handle it.)

The good news is that, as Stefan mentions in a thread linked from there, you can already do `local mylongvarname = 5` as an explicit variable creation syntax; and Julia has good enough tooling to parse it (and is getting even better ones as we speak) that you can disallow assignment to any variable that you haven't seen before with a `local` declaration, with a linter-like step. So the linter will error on a later `mylngvarname = 42`.

It's not the language itself adding it as a feature - so code inherited from elsewhere likely won't have it, and you might have to get buy-in from your team - but it's probably as close as you can get to what you want.

I've lived in London and Vietnam. I don't think living in the relative poverty of Vietnam is a moral problem. The people will still be relatively poor if you don't go there and keep your eyes shut to the issues. Going there actually reduces local poverty as you can spend money there and benefit them rather than spending it London and benefiting millionaire property owners mostly.

I say relative poverty because most people there aren't that badly off and their economy is booming, growing far faster than the UK one.

It is, but I'm sure the audible artifacts introduced by a pitch shifter would outweigh any perceptual effects due to the change in tuning. It has to be one of the two - either the lower-frequency music is fractionally slower or it has been modified in a non-transparent way - I don't think the article tells us which.

There seem to be other things the article doesn't tell us, such as how the authors verified that the music they used had been tuned to A=440 in the first place (since it's far from universal) or why, given an infinite number of possible tuning frequencies, a great many of which have been chosen by musicians at some point, and given no obvious physical basis for this specific choice, they went for A=432 instead of any other value below 440.

[edit: removed warranted but uncivil snark]
I don't care if governments print money. Contrary to popular wisdom, 2-3% inflation per year is intended by central banks, because to have less that that reduces investment in venture capital and reduces the incentive to start buisnesses/do productive things with your money.

They don't print money to "cheat" or because they want more money, that would be stupid - the overall amount minted in most countries is barely above the replacement rate for currency lost/destroyed/missing. If they were doing it to profit, the amount printed is just a drop in the ocean comapred to the amount made through tax, so it would be a stupid idea.

Governments control the money supply specifically to control the inflation rate, which is a lever they can move to respond to market conditions, keeping it low when the economy is growing, and raising it during recessions to incentivise investment. When governments can't do that, recessions hit MUCH harder, see: greece, portugal, ireland, and many other countries in the eurozone who weren't able to use monetary policy and were hit by devastating recessions as a result.

In any case, you "work" for an open source currency? I presume some money is earmarked from the transaction cost to pay developers?
Does this resonate with anyone?
From here, your problem sounds like a broken code review process or missing/unclear style guides in teams/company.

> I'm not sure if this effects other frontend frameworks as much, but it does seem like React was always pushing for a "new way to do things" every year.

In my experience, it purely depends on how you regulate the code internally. You can always find developers using something shiny every week when you already solved the problem the shiny thing solves like 100 times in your codebase. I had the same problem with some random integration of Blazor recently in a .NET codebase. Some had the same problem (apparently, I came later) integrating Primefaces to a JSF codebase.

It may be amazing tech, but do you really need it if you can KISS without it?

At the time, + was used to require that something be present

When + was eliminated, quotes took its place. Quoting a single word was the same as when you used to + a word -- find the exact word. Quoting a phrase still meant find the phrase, but that also meant it was required to find the phrase.

No, quoting did not take its place. At all. That's why verbatim was introduced, after outrage. Google claimed it did, but it still aliased. It still decided to provide results without quotes.

Again, this is why verbatim was born. From that "Google no longer gives precise results, ever" angst.

What's interesting is that a lot of writing about the Koohinoor diamond starts with it in Mogul possession.

However, that is only half the story.

It was actually mined in southern India, in what is today Andhra Pradesh. Then, it was in the possession of the Kakatiya dynasty who ruled that part of India. Then, the Kalji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, invaded south India, and ended up receiving that diamond as tribute. Then later, Babur, the founder of the Mogul dynasty, received it as tribute after defeating the Delhi Sultanate at the Battle of Paniput.
