I agree with you. I do not have that problem either. But it is well known that some people are more prone to addiction than others. So general arguments like "one or two beers every day" is fine, are a bit dangerous.

Sensationalist garbage "science". Scientific American should be ashamed of itself. The author, David J. Lewkowicz from Yale, is trying to shove his totally unrelated study on lip reading into the debate in order to get exposure. As a scientist, I'm ashamed that a colleague would do this on such a serious issue.

There is literally zero evidence that masks are harmful provided in the article or in any of the research done. Not a single study. Not even one number. This article should be titled "I think that masks can be detrimental". And that thought should carry all of the weight of a random conjecture by a random person who knows nothing on the topic because it simply hasn't been studied.

PS: Blind children learn language just fine. There is no significant evidence anywhere that blind children's understanding of language and their ability to speak is any lesser than that of sighted children. So this conjecture by this disgraceful researcher is probably very false.
Some interesting companies in this space:

- Paced Email (https://www.paced.email) - you make special email addresses that will collect all the emails you have, and release them at the specified frequency (e.g. once a week on Friday evenings). I use this to make newsletters not interrupt me throughout the week. I often will do one pass where I just triage all the stuff that shows up in my paced emails, and then actually consume that content/respond to it at leisure afterwads.
- Mailman (https://mailmanhq.com/) - it withholds all emails except those from "VIPs" to be delivered at specified time slots, by default 3 times a day, so that you don't get interrupted by unimportant emails. Additionally, they're working on a Paced Email-style product to release emails at intervals.

A couple major downsides of Mailman vs Paced Email is that you need to trust Mailman with access to all your emails, and it only works with Gmail; whereas Paced Email is opt-in via special email addresses which you can configure via separate DNS, and isn't vendor-specific. But it is more all-inclusive regarding wholly controlling your email cadence.

Also, while somewhat expensive, I do find that Superhuman does make it easier/faster for me to both sort and burn through emails, which makes coping with the volume of emails much easier. I use filters to sort my emails into separate buckets to get around the issues that other commenters have with company email addresses being overloaded for both important and unimportant use cases.

I've come to view handling email as 80% about quickly triaging them - ignore/unsubscribe/silence anything that isn't important, snooze anything you can't/don't want to handle now, then handle everything else efficiently.
Code review != Testing.

A lot of people conflate these IMHO. Code review should not really be about whether it "works" or not. That's what tests are for.

Code reviews are about checking for code complexity, good use of abstractions, readability, etc.
This gets requested often, it's still on my TODO list. I've touched the markdown pipeline code recently (to fix alt text support) so it doesn't feel as scary anymore, but I've got a lot of balls in the air so no ETA!
Long time Apollo user, I had no idea you could disable the infinite scroll. Thanks for mentioning it!
As far as I can remember yes, it was an article in Dr Dobbs Journal back in the day.

Basically imagine a C subset where variables are the registers, mov is = , expressions are Dest = Reg1 op Reg2 and so forth.

I can gladly be corrected if it was another vendor.
What about the way that people who scroll a lot lose their attention span, can't sit still without stimulation etc? Maybe dependence isn't exactly the same thing, but there is some kind of physical change happening in the brain, no?

Several different problems. First, we need an architectural design that folks can actually agree on. Then we need open protocols. Then we need implementations. Then we need infrastructure. Then we need to migrate existing content. Finally we need network effects.

If we ever get there, I suspect it'll be through a combo between a decentralized registry core and federated and commercial gateway system (similar to VPN or usenet providers). The biggest challenges are related to identity, moderation and abuse, while appealing to a mainstream audience.

So, what is the point of this again?

Even if they win, what would it remove? A website, which essentially just hosts some links to github. Within German jurisdiction only. So it would probably be up and running from a different provider within a day or two. And the repository itself would remain completely untouched anyway.
People who still build magical red buttons and DNS blockers aren't that far gone, they can still build stuff. Most of us are completely paralized on our couches, drooling at the telescreen while a steady dose of soma is administered. Writing a comment is a chore and building a custom app is a distant dream project. We have plenty of daydreams, but are no longer capable of executing them.
> Third, what you suggest is moderation drinking. People who are addicted to alcohol argue that it does not work and complete abstinence is the way to go.

And people who are not addicted to alcohol argue that this approach does work for us with no effort, and that blanket advocacy for complete abstinence is moralising based on behaviours rather than outcomes.

Some people have an innate risk of alcohol addiction and should absolutely practice complete abstinence. Some people are at a risk of alcohol addiction due to their personal circumstances and the culture they live in and, while abstinence is not the only solution, it's probably the only feasible one. Some people have a tendency overdrink on occasion due to their personalities and social lifestyles, but they do not need complete abstinence to keep this under control and can do with intentional moderation. Some people enjoy social drinking and even getting a bit tipsy sometimes, but outright drunkenness feels so terrible for us that we are at no risk of alcohol addiction and see no point in practising complete abstinence ourselves.

Everybody is different.
Window zoom asks the application to “right-size” their window. The application then gets to decide what the “right” size is. For example, a Finder window will size itself so it can display all the contents of the folder it displays (if possible).

It’s up to the application developer to implement this correctly, so if it is inconsistent, that’s technically not Apple’s fault.

For applications that does not support this, the fallback is just to fill the screen, a bit like maximise does on Windows.

In more recent macOS releases, the new(er) full screen mode works more like maximise does on Windows, and has now taken over the green button on the menu bar for most apps, so the old zoom feature is more obscure than ever.
I have a very poor understanding of mathematical operators and how they relate in formulae. How I have phrased that might even suggest how poor it is. I have learned 'what to expect' from operators, like exponents/log will graph curve-ily etc, but I have never felt a solid sense of understanding that meant I could see any formula containing beyond +-*/ and feel confident that my solution would be close to right.

I recently tried to implement a basic compound interest calculation to graph something and understanding the formula did not come easily. By that, I mean that exactly what the terms represent and what each operation is achieving was something I really had to focus on. Being a dev, most of my counterparts have always seemed very comfortable with this stuff and I'm usually 30s behind.

I'm really astounded when I see complex formulae - I just can't imagine ever understanding them, let alone coming up with them in the first place. It's easiest for me to just imagine that I didn't develop a brain that's good at this stuff. It seems ironic to me because one of the enjoyable parts of writing code for me is modelling scenarios, assigning responsibility, laying out entities, etc which seem (to me) like activities that exist in the same 'abstract thinking' kind of space that math is in. Maybe that's another thing I don't understand :)
This is misleading fear mongering, the people refusing vaccines are in western developed countries, where they are offered injectable forms of the vaccine.

Refusing free and approved vaccination programmes is anti-social behaviour and a public health hazard.
The sun is moving into a solar minimum for the past decades and temperatures are still rising. Just imagine how much more temperatures would be rising if that wasn't the case.
That's a very good question — I feel like the article is set up in a way that you could easily take the TCP-based, hand-written server and try to match Axum/hyper's performance — implement keep-alive, be smarter about buffering, etc, and see what makes an actual difference.

Of course if you reach a point where the only thing left to do is implement http/2, that... is no longer an evening project
If the current supply is a result of production costs and market forces, rather than geological supply, then this shouldn't be an issue. My understanding is that there is plenty of uranium in the ground in Canada, but it's perhaps not economically viable due to competition from within the countries you mentioned.

This is not a fundamental issue. Let the market work.

> The other tactic the western powers have is to try and get as many Ukrainian civilians killed as possible for the propaganda effort.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Putin & his friends are the ones killing civilians, not the western powers.
According to Russia, there is no war. They could just say the special military operation accomplished its goals, which Putin stated are “to protect the people that are subjected to abuse, genocide from the Kiev regime for eight years, and to this end we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine and put to justice those that committed numerous bloody crimes against peaceful people, including Russian nationals”.

Another anecdote from India. 30-40 years back, my parents had to pay bribe nearly everyplace. Even for things like "paying" your house tax (city tax) and buying railway ticket.

Since then though things are constantly improving. With computerisation / automation you don't have to face any person for many of the tasks. I can buy tickets, do bank transactions, get marriage/birth certificate, passport appointment all from my laptop/phone.

So I for one am hopeful. Police/ministries are one of the last places where corruption is deeply entrenched but we are making a lot of progress.
I found it helpful to put myself in situations where the book is the best alternative. Leave your phone, get the book, walk to a park, sit down with a beer. Every time you get bored and restless, you'll put the book down, remember you have no phone and pick it up again.
I suppose one could just block port 53 outbound, forcing you to use the local DNS server
You just need to do that once or twice to instill fear not to write anything wrong on your private device.
Interesting. Your example shows that bribery can be executed even without cooperation by the bribers.
If LXD also uses cgroups and Linux namespaces it seems like the differences would be pretty small? Docker also allows custom syscall filtering, unprivileged containers, etc.

I think the reality is just that containers will always be imperfect, and you should understand that risk when building systems.
In 1962, Kuba has been blocked from determining it's own destiny. US didn't like the Soviet missiles placed by Soviets right on their border. The peace has been saved only because USSR took a step back.

Todays Ukraine is "Kuba" for Russia. The presence of NATO near its borders is threatening its security. What America should do? Maybe revenue its aggressive military presence? Think about Ukrainian people not only on its interest across the ocean.

> This happens now with share ownership.

No it doesn't, you can not own shares in a company and still have it affect you. You can also own shares and have no voting rights, either.

Share ownership is, as it stands, undemocratic in the sense that there is no democratic decision making by all of those who are affected by a company. And a model where wealth decides how many votes you get isn't very democratic, either.
That's a pretty quickly self-limiting population. As is the Antivax community, though the flareups of forgotten diseases will continue for a few more cycles before this group dies out naturally - So long as we don't fan the flames by actually persecuting them. More than a few will die of disease, most will learn better from seeing the results of their actions.
Infinite scrolls and other features are classified as dark patterns, meaning it is a feature that is designed to engage the user as much as possible. The common denominator of all dark patterns are that they benefit the service provider or business at the detriment of the consumer. It helps being able to define what infinite scrolling does, because once you can recognize what a dark pattern entails, it will be much easier to spot and accordingly adjust your behaviors. Moderating your own behaviors when dealing with dark patterns is key.

Mobile games are notorious for this; the market for mobile games are flooded with "Log in everyday to get your dailies!" Initially I was enthralled by mobile gaming as a middle schooler. I got to play Clash of Clans in my classroom and away from my home computer. I am now in sophomore year of college. The novelty of mobile games wear off as soon as you realize that mobile games back then and still today are designed to monopolize your time. I like to think that mobile game developers do it because they are passionate about it, but their passion gets bogged down at their first gamedev job because of company politics and the fact that dark patterns make money.

Come to think of it, I really resonate with this author because dark patterns are everywhere. It is as if every single service provider is trying to monopolize your time. It happens with YouTube, computer games (notably Path of Exile), Discord, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and so much more. Dark patterns are definitively not conducive to a healthy populace. Thinking of my own time as a finite resource really helps. Is this dark pattern worth my time? It is ridiculously easy to sink 8 hours of your time watching reality TV on YouTube. I would even go as far as to say that they are designed to keep the working and lower class poor. If anyone wants to inquire further about that statement, please reply.
> uses unprivileged containers by default and can be hardened with additional software for syscall filtering

You also described docker.

I agree that docker's main focus isn't to be a security oriented sandbox, but perhaps you need to find a different wording of what exactly makes LXD (or others) so different.

Well, free software also do die sometimes. But sure, it's by far the best option. All the things I do with a computer is based on free or open source software or open standard. Curiously, everything still works 20 years after... Watching movies, listening music, text/calc, coding, mail, internet,... (not playing game though, the kids have their console but they don't create anything with it, so I don't care if it gets obsoleted)

> Do you not run tests? Know how to grep?

If individual deprecation warnings have to be specifically enabled, people who don’t read release notes describing them won’t search their source code for possible future problems, and their tests won’t signal any issues before a feature is removed, or (possibly, for other deprecations) behavior is silently changed. Deprecation would be worth zero for such users.

Since it was a political decision to shut them down, it's hard for me as an outside observer to judge a statement that they've been "run down". Is there an independent assessment of the safety of the existing power plants, free from political influence?
Infinite scrolling feels just like eating only pure sugar.
It’s not quality food but really addictive. To fight this addiction physical blocking is one part of the solution. The other part is psychological and thus personal. What works for me and make me change might not me the same for you.
That is why reading a book like Atomic Habits might help, but maybe you’ll need a few others to understand what needs to be changed to fight this.
For me, one day I tried to remember what content I saw and what I got from spending tens of ours scrolling. The answer was nothing. I learned nothing and got nothing from it. Just like eating pure sugar all evening vs going out a bit walking and feeling refreshed or biking or whatever.
I don’t want to be filled with empty stuff anymore. I don’t want socials to steal hours of sleep anymore.
I don’t want to have the feeling that I’m giving McDonald’s every day to my brain. I found the ratio to feel satisfied is more like 10-5% rather than 80% of my free time on it. I deleted every single social app and I never ever missed it. Because they provide really nothing for my life and I have so much better to do around me or with other sources of content.
That’s just me

Counterpoint 1: Sweden delayed locking down nursing homes and then implemented it really poorly. A huge percentage of COVID deaths were due to a nurse getting sick, coming to work anyway and basically killing half of the residents. Without lockdowns your 95 old grandmother would probably have been dead by now.

Counterpoint 2: did you take care of her and talked to her everyday, or maybe taken her home? Otherwise at 95 she could end up like this with and without lockdowns.

I find it funny that you bring numbers into this (at her age she had only 3.4 years to live but only 11% chance if dying of COVID). You cannot mix emotional and cold like that in the same post...
