"Software problem" is too broad. If software engineers are working on it, of course it's a software problem.

I often try to come up with "solutions" when dealing with my kids behavior problems. Like: if they aren't listening and want to stay up late, maybe I should get smart bulbs that I can turn off with my phone.

But I know that this is not actually a solution to the right problem.

Your question has that same "smell". You need to find a way to discourage this behavior, not a workaround for it.

There’s nothing rational about his Ukraine invasion. Russian gains absolutely bubkis from this, and NATO has become stronger than ever. From what perspective was the invasion rational? Elites in Russia are in absolute disbelief. Putin lost all his cards the minute he actually invaded. So much for being a rational player.

It’s great to be skeptical of our government. It’s not so great to repeat kremlin talking points nearly verbatim.
I think your analogy is missing the scale. In this case, I think it's likely that the equivalent scale would be worrying about eating a tic tac, when lunchtime is beer and burgers.
The clear point is people that don't "give a shit" about the environment or their fellow people are not the majority and so the government should continue to make environmentally lead decisions regardless of the existence of sociopaths.

Sears had a parts department where you could buy replacement appliance parts on appliance brands they sold. This is not a totally radical concept.
There are a lot of factors in supply chain costs aside from weight. Order volume is a huge factor. If two parts have identical component costs and weights, but one is ordered in the UK say in the thousands per year, the end purchaser cost will be a lot lower than for a part where only a few people order one each year. In fact for the latter, it might not be possible to order it directly in the UK at all.
Miele are ace. Lovely designs. We bought a built-in fridge freezer from them recently. i.e. hidden behind a cupboard door.

The sales guy couldn't understand why we would pay extra for an appliance that no one would see the name on. He was all about impressing any visitors to the house.

It was the most energy efficient unit I could find according to Which magazine.

Should recover the difference in price to the no-name unit they were offering with 2 years. (Actually probably quicker now given changes in the energy market).

I expect to keep it for at least 10 years and as well as better performance it has other useful features not on a bottom of the range unit.

E.g. It's really quiet and if you go away on holiday you can switch the fridge part separately to the freezer to save more energy.
While IPv4 in it's entirely is trivial to scan (could do it in ~5 minutes more or less with the right hardware), usually you'd go for ranges to scan instead of the entire space, and IPv6 will still be feasible to scan for ranges, although they become larger.
> It's entirely moral to make money off of your money with minimum effort. For example having retirement capital that consists of a low cost S&P 500 index fund. It is not parasitic, even if Adam Smith incorrectly might think so.

I don't follow -- how does the fact that the money is used for retirement or in a low cost fund make it not parasitic? It seems to me to fit the definition pretty well.
Apple's vintage clock starts when they stop selling something. They sold the 6s until 2018. They rarely sell MBPs for more than a year so usually in 7 years they're done.

I'm glad you're currently well to do and can afford all new shit for your kids. Some people can't and sometimes a repair is the only option. Is it worth making repair considerably harder for a few extra mm of thinness and less than a hundred grams of weight? I'd argue no. Compare the repair of a 2010 MBP with one from 2016 and then tell me the 2016 one is easy.

So many things are water proof and user serviceable: Piping, engines, transmissions, water cooling (for pc or car) and those electric toothbrushes that have replaceable batteries.

This isn't a technical problem. We figured out how to make things water tight a long time ago.

I was talking specifically about Finland. Our situation is such that our energy consumption peaks during the winter months when onshore wind farms perform poorly.

You can see that the total share of renewables has climbed significantly, but production is heavily weighted on summer months when there is no shortage of electricity.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/nuclear-renewables-electr...

These numbers are all insignificant, tho. Finland needs to build roughly 22-35GW of renewable/nuclear power to get rid of carbon based energy, and we're nowhere near.

The clear answer is that we need both wind and nuclear – a LOT of both, but I doubt we'll do neither in sufficient quantity.
Chinese military is in dire need of combat experience. The few missions in Africa in which they deploy troops aren't enough.
It's possible that GLONASS isn't working well for them for some reason. They've been using relatively few precision munitions. And of those few, many of them them seem to be missing by quite a lot. Some of the ballistic missiles they threw at runways look like they were probably under inertial guidance, judging by how badly they missed.
Yeah, a clear direct comparison is elusive and maybe impossible. This Reddit thread [0] talks about the difficulties of converting value.

> Where did all the fun go?

For me, a lot of the fun evaporated when I could find others had written a dozen other programs doing exactly what I was thinking of, often better than I could have.

The rest of the fun evaporated due to (this was the 1990s) compiler churn; every year there would be new compiler versions, some of which required nontrivial changes to existing code, and the compilers often had such poor documentation that their own examples wouldn't compile. "Solving problems" turned into "trying to use broken tools", of which Microsoft Macro Assembler 4.0 was surely the worst offender.

No, hence wanting multiple sources.

I don't want somebody to make that decision for me. How do we know DuckDuckGo have the resources? How do we know they don't 'rank' suggestions based on other political events?

Obviously we have different opinions about exactly what we want from DuckDuckGo, that's okay. I'm not against DuckDuckGo adding a tag or rating to indicate what they believe the trustworthiness of the source to be - I would even appreciate if they distinguish between cnn.com and cmm.com (fake example to make the point).
Doesn't sound like they're planning to stop when they get there.
I would suggest considering still being open to deep connections with people, platonic, romantic, or otherwise. There is a cost, but the juice can be worth the squeeze. Embrace the joy of it, and mitigate the cost (emotional fortitude, self confidence).
Perhaps a port knock.

I don't know the mechanics, but a port knock is hitting pre-defined ports in a pre-defined order. When you "shave and a haircut" the ports properly, the server opens something up. In this case white listing (gray listing?) the IP that the knock came from.

You could add a layers to it to make it more complicated.

> Weaponizing money could never happen if the money were still backed by something valuable such as gold or goods

While weaponizing money may not be so easy, that doesn't mean economic warfare would stop.

Currently the US has declared what amounts to unrestricted warfare against the Russians, including violating our own laws, and the laws of our allies, to effect damage to them. Specifically I am talking about seizing of private property by fiat for no crime. The logical Russian response is to nationalize every Western asset in their territory

Economic warfare may get much worse, since there is power in buying, power in selling, power in being an intermediary, or having the currency of exchange, or the system used for exchange.

> The only reason that Miele spare parts are so fucking expensive is because they make a lot of money with service. They don't want people fixing their own machines for 20€, they want to have a Miele service person come and swap the part for 250€.

Just get a household appliances insurance policy.

I have some Miele kit, and I have an insurance policy.

If something breaks, I call the insurance company, get a code. Then I call Miele and book a service appointment using the code. As a result, I have never paid a thing to Miele, not parts, not labour. But I still get official Miele engineer and official Miele parts.

And for some of my older Miele kit (10+ years), they've been out a lot, because the insurance company still deems it more economical to repair than to get Miele to ship me a new one.

There is a big difference between:

There is a tension here I want to explore. Basically I have a theory that coders are the new managers (goes with my software literacy idea). Look at books on management ala Drucker in the 60s. These people (big managers) are a special species bestriding the world, aligning corporations to build better world. Recently google published a book on how to be a great manager which boiled its eight points down to "be nice to your coders so they stay"

Companies are becoming programmable - machines that are slow AI and slowly speeding up that AI and that needs control via code. And the coders build that.

So my theory is that each release of code is effectively a new company (machine). And that the people we call software engineers are writing the rules for those companies - but the non coding managers are not going to let go without a fight.

Staff engineering roles are the front line for this battle. If it's all influence and social respect (like say Linus) then the future of empire building managers is shaky.
You should have just not bought such cheap stuff.
If no-code is the future of programming, here are some pain points I have with existing no-code tools that they need to fix:

- no automated testing

- no deployments other than to production (to be fair Retool supports being deployed into two environments… but some teams where I work have three)

- no history (e.g. git)

- logging is a pain (imagine if the logs for each microservice you deployed had to be viewed/searched using a different tool… yeah…)

I’m not saying they don’t have their advantages… but where I work we want to move away from Zapier and Airtable because of the pain they cause us.
Over the past two years there have been multiple public posts on his blog about the language, you can learn a lot about it from there.
Before complicating the setup even more (by adding more software), I'd opt to make sure I configure the software I already have before going down that route. Removing password login + changing the port would already remove any attack surface and make most scans not finding it at all. And if I'd still be annoyed by the amount of log items at that point, I'd add MAC/IP filtering at the firewall level before getting to the point of adding something like Tailscale.

Unless I had multiple users who'd need to login of course, but then Tailscale suddenly become a paid product, and I'd probably add another instance as a bastion host at that point.

I guess my point is: Make sure the software you already have is configured the right way before adding more software on top.
This is pretty cool. It sounds like they have found a way to do random initialization and pair it with a learning rate that makes the loss curve invariant to the width of the network. Then they can do hyperparameter optimization on a much smaller version of the network and trust that those hyperparameters will also be optimal on the full size network.

Russia has done this for the past 10 or so years. They invaded EU airspace. They executed many cyber attacks. This is strategy. They test to see if their competence works, they test to see what the reaction is, and they sharpen their knives, get better at it.

I think we in the West have basically sabotaged the social structure that happened post 30 for most people.

"they made the best possible decision with the resources they had, their mental model and their risk tolerance and belief in the world"

Can this not be said for any action, any thought, including, if we are talking about parenting, beating the kids up?

"I was feeling so alone and I could not control myself when they were crying, I am so sorry I decided to use the stove gas to put them to sleep, that's what my grandmother used to do!".

My belief is that that kind of "therapist's speech", which as becoming more popular as therapy became the fashionable path for people wanting to make changes in their lives, of "you did your best", "those were the tools that you had available at the time", has caused many to avoid their responsibilities by paying therapists (people who got "second hand smoke" did not even had to pay) like times back they used priest to carry the same function and getting the same result: absolution and comfort.

> Impossible to find friends as a single man in lat 30's.

This is just not true.

Consider getting a hobby and joining clubs or attending events.

Establishing a friendship is (basically) impossible without:

1. repeated contact

2. a common activity to share

Most people get this through school/university/workplace/partner, but there are plenty of other ways.

Examples:

- Buy a motorcycle. Join a riding club. [0]

- Join a rock climbing gym. Look on Facebook for belay partners.

- Find a maker space near you.

- Learn a musical instrument at a school.

- Play online games. Join a clan.

Your argument, which is, apparently, that radioactive waste becomes inert over time thus it isn't an issue, supported by hyperbolically inflating the alleged original concern to an extinction level event, is flawed (in many ways but also) because not all radioactive waste becomes inert over human timescales. Transuranic waste will still be quite deadly 1000 years from now. No one, anywhere, ever, had any anxiety about nuclear waste causing human extinction. The problem really is as inconsequential to human existence as a large elementary school being built in 3409 on top of a leaking toxic nuclear waste dump and no one noticing until 3430, by which time, over the decades, quite a lot of kids got sick. It's no less horrifying even if the species is not really at risk of anything.
Aftermarket suppliers have even more of a logistical burden than the OEM. They cater to a smaller market, and need to set up manufacturing for the part (which the OEM already has). Yet they still can sell the parts for substantially less.
Yep, that's the counter argument right there. Sometimes it's better to be vaguely accurate than precisely missing much of the point.
