No, Stella's coffee was served at a temperature that was and still is an industry standard. From the wikipedia article:

> "Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's current policy is to serve coffee at 176–194 °F (80–90 °C),[37] relying on more sternly worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.[37][38] The Specialty Coffee Association of America supports improved packaging methods rather than lowering the temperature at which coffee is served. The association has successfully aided the defense of subsequent coffee burn cases.[38] Similarly, as of 2004, Starbucks sells coffee at 175–185 °F (79–85 °C), and the executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America reported that the standard serving temperature is 160–185 °F (71–85 °C)."

I remember watching this years ago and getting really pissed at Linus. At the time I didn't actually get what he was getting at, and just assumed he was just standing in the way of Stallman grabbing half the computer industry by the balls/ovaries and demanding they never lock down a CPU ever again.

I rewatched this about a month ago and it has aged like a fine wine. As much as I personally like GPLv3, Linus was in the right to reject it. GPL has a no-further-restrictions clause for a reason, and the license upgrade mechanism should not be used to circumvent the intent of that clause just to make a stronger copyleft. In fact, I'm starting to sour on the concept of supra-GPL-strength copylefts in general, because going any stronger than GPLv3 requires interfering with freedom zero in some way.[0] This is supposed to be a software commons, after all.

I think it is more than pedantry. The clock will not last even a billionth of "300B years", and losing a whole second would be disastrous to its purpose. The kind of people who are interested in atomic clocks can surely understand "loses only 3 picoseconds per year".
While the question isn't phrased as a false dichotomy, it imposes one within the context. The idea that we either hold the chemistry set manufacturer accountable or we're letting children die is a false dichotomy.
Let's face it. If you use a cloud service for any critical business service, such as processing payments, or data storage, you're liable to get "turned off" for any random reason by an algorithm. You have no recourse whatsoever.

Have your own personal backups of all your valuable data, emails, videos, pictures, etc.

As I learned from expensive experience, if you use a cloud payment processor, have it set up with at least two distinct companies. Yeah, I got turned off by an algorithm on one. Their support sent me pathetically worthless AI generated emails. After a couple months, I got it turned back on finally because I personally knew someone at the company. Obviously, this is not a general solution.

Always have a backup service plan at another company.
HA, same here!!

IBM 300PL by any chance?

Mine (256MB, 8GB) ran Windows 98, and (record scratch) a copy of Visual Basic 1.0 that I'd stumbled on an abandonware copy of while attempting to figure the internet out at the local library. lol

Then there was the the 486 with 4MB RAM and 8MB free disk that I was playing with just a year earlier (yep - 2005). And the 800MHz AMD Duron w/ 320MB RAM I used between 2012-2014. And now there's a 2004-era Pentium 4 in the corner here that I'm currently running ddrescue on to try and shoo away ~300KB of unhappy disk sectors. What can I say... work-blocking health issues guarantees life will be InTeReStInG haha

Still playing catchup to equilibrium, and taking longer than I'd like because where it matters I annoyingly go a little slower than everyone else (huff).

I'm almost certain you were probably doing something slightly more interesting on your PIII...? Delphi, maybe, or perhaps a newer (interestinger) version of VB? Or maybe a super-lightweight Linux setup and Vim?

(Oh now that reminds me of the old Toshiba laptop I found on the side of the road with a ~300MHz K6-2 and (IIRC) 32MB RAM in it... hibernation worked so well on that thing it's how I would typically boot into Slackware on it (4 second resume time on a 20 year old laptop?!?! yes please!). Sadly my install CD was a bit scratched so the only things that really worked were bash, grep and sed... which I attempted to write a package manager for Slackware in. I got halfway there too, but had to quit because the 15-line regexes I was writing were giving me a headache. However, to this day I have zero issue with regular expressions up to sed's level of complexity. I do badly need to go back and revisit the subject though.)

Edit: additionally, and for curiosity: the article covers use of datalog but no underlying security model (eg. consistency of access to resources so you don't have one way blocked to you but can go around via another route, as I know of one homebrew system where you could do that).

NB: Trying on MacOS now, if I'm on a browser page in Firefox positioned within the display (other than at the right edge) and hit the right edge of the screen, the scrollbar does NOT in fact light up or activate.

This seems to apply generally for windows best I can tell.

Yeah, this is a pretty good explanation, chemistry sets may be nerfed because the risk of giving poisons and invisible flames to children as toys far outweighs the benefits which accrue to a small minority who would gain from this. And the children who would gain from it have other ways to access bomb-making or nuclear-reactor making materials if they really want to: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/150726-nu...

That all seems to be corroborated by the fact there doesn't seem to be any shortage of scientifically gifted young adults. If anything we're on a golden age of scientific discovery. Teenagers fairly regularly make contributions to science, and chemistry in particular. It doesn't look as though there is some broad over-protective social force holding children back from developing adult skills and that this whole thing is much more likely to be a subjective impression of the author.

From a quick google:

Of course, there are still the old-fashioned forces of parental and social neglect, and the fact that opportunities and neglect are not evenly distributed throughout the society (being much more dispersed/concentrated, respectively in poor households). But the author does not seem interested in that. One can only speculate as to why.

So this accuracy claim is not saying that they engineered a clock that will only lose 1 second in several trillion years. For one thing that clock would have to survive the sun going nova.

Rather it's a statement about the width of the frequency they are measuring and their ability to divide that down to a second. They are saying that they have two clocks measuring the same frequency and have analyzed their dispersion against each other over a period of time and gotten this result.

Long-term aging effects aren't going to change the frequency of the atoms (except new physics, but we can rule that out via observations of the Lamb shift in distant hydrogen), but things like gas infiltration, lamp aging, changes in laser characteristics can all cause atomic clocks to drift.

This is pretty significant for rubidium which is why the lamps need recalibration periodically.
Meta Quest is totally unrelated to Facebook Blue :)
Do the Drawabox course. A dry, intentionally tough course on technical drawing might seem a little out of left field, but the way it is set up makes it a meditative practice: you can spend a little bit of your day trying to draw straight lines, and feel assured that the skill remains the same the next day, that pens and paper will do basically the same thing, and that you can make images with the skill that won't disappear because of the software changing. You don't have to "upload context" for an hour to work on a picture either; short glances throughout the day and gradual accumulation of lines will suffice.

These are very good grounding complements to the "software mind", which is perpetually concerned about that disappearance, and needs massive quantities of uninterrupted thought about context-heavy problems. In both cases, you still have to concentrate and plan to get worthwhile results, but with drawing you have much more leeway to let go, and the act of drawing is really the act of learning about something through good observation - good enough that you can reproduce it through marks on a page - so it brings forward a sensibility in yourself that you can apply to anything.
The good rule of thumb is you can trust The Wiki with all information that does not require very specialized knowledge (doing brain surgery based on Wikipedia is probably a bad idea) and is not connected to any current political or culture war controversy. If it touches the latter two, best you can do is use the links to the source material, while keeping in mind link selection would be heavily biased - and the bias in the text goes without saying. NPOV is a noble ideal, but the reality is very short of it on anything concerning politics or culture wars.
I'm echoing a couple of replies before me, but I'll give concrete examples - MP3, JPEG, and H.264 are all lossy task-specific compressions. Lossless compression includes FLAC and TIFF.

Courts are supposed to balance the bargaining power of the parties when considering the enforceability of terms. So for the GPL which is a boilerplate clickwrap contract where the parties have not necessarily even communicated before, a court may take a narrow interpretation of such terms. So the unsatisfying answer (to programmers) may be: it depends who you are.
Did this author even read the papers she cites?

> In the first camp — the randomized trial camp — we have one very large-scale study from Belarus. Known as the PROBIT trial, it was run in the 1990s and continued to follow up as the children aged.

If you go to the PROBIT trial, you see it clearly stated that they did find an impact from nursing:

> Conclusions: Our experimental intervention increased the duration and degree (exclusivity) of breastfeeding and decreased the risk of gastrointestinal tract infection and atopic eczema in the first year of life.

> Branch merge commits are already this, kind of. However their UI sucks and there's an idea gap which prevents them from being fully understood as such "supercommits" composed of subcommits.

Isn't that "idea gap" mainly the fault of all these weird newfangled git workflows that discourage or outright forbid branching? If you have no branches to merge, you can't have a merge commit to act as a "supercommit".

Call your "supercommit" a "feature", and what you need to implement it is... A feature branch.

We were an SRE team building tools for the development teams who got paged in the middle of the night. The devs writing the services were operating their own services and were getting paged. We would sometimes also get paged for a serious incident so we could coordinate if multiple development teams were involved.

Each team managed their own rotation schedules, we just made sure they had one.

> See, what I read from this is: a) violate my system efficiency KPI

If you're being graded on your system efficiency and not customer satisfaction, well then sure, your way might make sense (but I'd still say it doesn't). But your business will suffer if you optimize for efficiency over customer satisfaction.

> Why does it make any more sense to hire developers remotely who are in your time zone ± three hours?

Because it's a lot easier to run a team where everyone on the team can meet at the same time. If you have an around the world team, there is no time of day where you can have a meeting and everyone gets to attend during their workday. Realistically you can maybe get away with a nine hour time difference. Any more than that and you have people excluded.

Especially if the bulk of your devs are in one or two time zones, your operators will be even more disconnected from them since they will never be able to interact with the devs, and the devs will have no empathy for the operators who they also never interact with.

> For what it's worth, we also hire salespeople around the globe

Sure, but they aren't writing code that your operators have to run. :)

I think we both agree that it's better for devs to get paged for their services instead of operators, and if that's the case, its far better for all the devs to work together and know each other and be in the same or nearly same time zone.

A follow the sun model breaks that completely.
OpenSea Investigates Exploit Rumours
Yes, they are supported, and documented at https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/branches.md. I need to document better how to use them for common workflows like GitHub PRs.

FYI, here's one way to use them with GitHub PRs:

1. Create a fork via GitHub's web UI
2. Clone using the SSH protocol (`jj git clone git@github.com:...`)
3. Make your changes and "commit" (`jj close/commit`)
4. Create a branch pointing to the commit you just created (`jj branch my-feature -r @-`)
5. Push it to your fork (`jj git push`)

So that doesn't seem too onerous, I guess? Maybe the "too many manual steps" are to clean up afterwards. I just tried it in a test repo and deleting the branch from the fork and then `jj git fetch` from there does delete the local branch, but it doesn't abandon the commits, so you need to run `jj abandon` on them if you don't want them anymore.

Not only is it not blasphemous, GP literally entertained the thought and stated it as fact.

If you cannot afford a helmet, you are less likely to wear one, and if you get fined for not wearing on, it isn't going to incentivize you to buy one - it's going to render you less able to buy one.

Or perhaps you are suggesting that black people are poorer because their ancestors adaptations to sunlight light have altered the way they handle their finances or respond to those incentives?

In which case, you shouldn't feel like a blasphemer and should just expound on those theories here. Please, don't leave them unsaid because we are just going to have to assume what you think. And we might make the error of assuming that you are just a racist.

You said:

That literally isn't feasible to do with a low impact unless your definition of "anywhere" is a handful of major cities, especially since cars aren't going away.

New York City has a population density of 27,000 people per square mile. Statewide is 420, though NYC metro brings that up. Austin is 3,000.

If you want "anywhere", you also need to think about places like Montana, with a population density of less than 7 people per square mile.

Trains make sense for metro areas, not rural areas, and there is a lot of rural area to cover.
Web3 and blockchain are both an ideological and technological framework. Rather than holding anything back, they're originating and introducing a new way of looking at both personal data and how it's ingested and interpreted by web services.

All the crypto criticisms, the scams and rugs and mlm schemes; these are all characteristics of capitalism first, technologically implemented.

Where Web3 works, in the DAOs and decentralised governance systems, in the melding of decentralised tech and decentralised authority over it, that's where Web3 will flourish.

As humanity takes on the task of redressing the effects of capitalism, this ideological framework will guide our social development in the same way the blockchain is now reinventing software development.
