There was a book published not too long ago, by Eric Cline, titled "1177: The Year Civilization Collapsed", about the Late Bronze Age Collapse.

I initially liked this book. But I eventually came to the conclusion that it didn't really explain anything and concocted an overly elaborate framework that did more to obscure what happened than to clarify. It felt like that old joke about philosophy, the field where "one kicks up a lot of dust then complains one can't see anything." It ended up being so complex that it's not falsifiable.

I was much happier with the narrative in another book, "The End of the Bronze Age", by Robert Drews. Drews presents the military-technological explanation. It's simpler and it just seems to fit better. It also explains why social organization in the Iron Age was so different from the Bronze Age.

I've flagged this. People die every single day, it's the inevitable tragedy that comes with being alive. The 6,500 weren't people that died on the job site, it includes all-cause mortality from a total of 2,000,000 people according to the article.

Qatar's treatment of everyone is horrible -- it's not a great country. It's suspicious that they received the ability to host the World Cup. But the available data doesn't back the claims just yet. It deserves more attention, but that's something that should be up to the government's of the nationals dying to poke at. An article that takes a single data point and extrapolates it emotionally isn't the type of journalism we should be aiming for -- we've had enough of that over the last few decades.
Everyone has to die. If they're dying at a lower rate in Qatar than their own country then how is that bad for Qatar?
For your "maybe slightly better is" what happens when the db commit fails? FK constraint or some such, now you have sent an email (called the API) and have no record in your DB

Without two phase commits I would

1) Write to the DB in the original POST request a record indicating that an email should be sent
2) Process that record outside of the original request and mark it as sent
Would argue the same as others that this still falls more into “brutalist” rather than minimalism.

My website[0] is far from ideal, but certainly falls in line better with the term “minimalism” (page speed, assets loaded, initial paint etc)

Do you think those people (and their families!) would have been better off if they stayed in Kerala?

I’ve lived in the UAE too, and actually had conversations with many of these people. Many of them missed home, but it was all worth it for the relatively massive amounts of money they were earning.

I think comments like yours are often ignorant of just how rough lives these people would have back home.
The happiest person I’ve met in your condition is a real estate lawyer. Partner in a small firm, millionaire in their 30s, passionate leader in his chosen hobbies, for which he has ample time.

Maybe real estate closing attorneys won’t be sitting as pretty in time - something attainable will be.

In short - when you have money you can afford time spent not working, when you can indulge your passions. For some this may be getting another degree, for others this may be running something in their community, the only prerequisite for this club is available time.
The reasonable explanation for that is that in a monarchy, ostensibly all bodies are working towards common goal (as dictated at the top). Whereas in a democracy, in many cases there exist bodies with equal power yet conflicting interests.

Monarchies seem to work well in cases where "the top" has interests that align with the interests of the subjects, and is well-informed. Jordan seems to be a great example. Yet history is full of examples of long-standing monarchy-type organizations where after only a short time of disconnect between the governing and the governed, the entire system fails. A Frenchman could probably provide good examples.
>does that somehow invalidate punks?

Yes. When a movement whose entire thesis is "fuck the establishment" gets co-opted by the establishment, it becomes invalid as a movement, a hollow and pathetic shell of itself. Punk is anti-society, anti-religion, anti-government, anti-authority, anti-conformity, anti everything, even anti-music to a degree. Its relevance died as soon as the last punk lived past 30 and it became old people music. Just another style to buy at Hot Topic.

Wrong. Debian is a do-ocracy. Package maintainers have plenty of power to take decisions. The TC gets involved very rarely.
Adding to this historical reasoning, it is to be noted that in traditional Unix, /usr was pretty much the equivalent of /home in Linux systems: the parent directory for user home directories, i.e. 'usr'.

The existence of /usr/bin can probably be explained by the reasoning that, just like nowadays Linux systems often have a really big /home partition, early Unix systems eventually ran out of space for whatever volume would hold /bin, and with 'reinstalling' not remotely as easy an option as it would be these days, storing an extra 'bin' etc. directory in the 'larger partition for user directories' became commonplace.
CDK is reasonably new thing for terraform.

A lot of us have cut our teeth on previous major version of terraform DSL, when it was even less capable than it is now (no maps, no for each, etc.) and it wasn't that uncommon to be told to generate terraform JSON directly to work around DSL shortcomings, generating essentially all of the provider objects yourself.
There really is - not everybody is content with having 600MB of unused dependencies being pulled in for no reason. This approach slows things down, including CI, increases surface area for security risks and makes your dependency tree inscrutable. All to account for obviously wrong use of the package manager.

To be clear, that's a fictional character in a fictional future that may or may not ever come. Sure, we can use assistive technology, e.g. screen readers, to enable us to work. But with our current technology, that requires cooperation from developers of platforms, applications, websites, etc., and as I said in another comment, advocating for that sometimes seems futile. We do sometimes make progress though.

Having tried everything, nothing works better than 5x8 yellow pads. Write down everything you need to do. Draw a line thru when done. Every few days, rebuild the list. Everything has to be on one page, or there are too many to-do's, and you can delete ones that just don't make the cut.

Public service means government run. A newspaper isn't a public service (in the US), but official notices can and do appear there. Even if no one reads the newspaper anymore. Same thing with private broadcasters like CNN, Fox News, etc. Public service has a specific definition.

(1) Users can modify the chrome kernel code to edit their browser fingerprints, breaking the geographical restrictions. (2) It is used with proxy IP to simulate a real computer. Multiple accounts log in at the same time, and there is no problem of information disclosure. (3) Virtual browser simulates the browser configuration file inside the browser through certain technical means to generate multiple independent browsers, so as to realize the operation of multiple login of the account.

You could just have the government mandate a test, and any embryo that has markers (genetic or otherwise) of a chronic debilitating condition is not allowed to be brought to term. If parents do choose this, the kid will fall outside of the healthcare system for its condition and parents will have to foot the entire ongoing bill.

Eugenics does not automatically mean we all customize our embryos to be 2m tall geniuses with patterned body hair.

More of an aside, but I’ve always wondered where humans would end up if we did do unbridled genetic engineering. Is 2m the ideal height? 1.80m? 2.40m? What would we discover is the optimal IQ? Etc.

The unstyled blockquote is probably enough, without pulling down the JS to embed twitter's marketing, tracking, and whatever else they might be observing.

Is it necessary for a quoted tweet to look exactly like it came from Twitter when the text and a link serves an identical purpose?

That said, if someone wants to delete a tweet or otherwise correct the record, are you prepared to issue a correction of your own when quoting a tweet? The internet is particularly unforgiving when it comes to this.

Or the Alawites in Syria, or the Europeans in 18th century North America, or the Mongols, or a hundred other examples. There's a line somewhere between less-violent "minorities taking over a country" and more violent Mongol-like "taking over", but I would say that the situation of a minority group seizing power is not significantly less common than of a majority group seizing power.

The Russian statements are easily available. Starting from special military operation, actually west forced us to do it, Ukraine is not real country, the calls for denazification, ultimately towards de-Ukrainiation. Continuing by saying civilians in Bucha were actually killed by Ukrainians and including that Marinopol is actually bombed by Ukraine itself. It is super easy to find what Russian embassies and politicians are saying. Full statements are available on their twitter accounts, Facebook pages or general websites. It is super easy to find Russians writing in English complaining about sanctions or voicing their opinions about Russia.

Full history of changing official Russian narrative is available.

There is no problem to find Russian official statements at all. The issue here is that you ignore what they are saying in order to pretend it is not available or that it was somewhat convincing.
I like the design, but semantics and accessibility aren't great.

We have lists implemented like divs, navs like divs, lack of appropriate attributes, aria labels and few other things.

That's not great considering there's basically only static content without interaction.

Articles speaks about optimizing for performance but will still attempt to load 150kb of analytics library and doesn't handle fallback fonts and font rendering properly. What's the point of obsessing over bundle size when you will still shove fonts and analytics when loading the application?

In every one of my projects I always try to convince stakeholders and designers that they will find fonts that will be great among the system fonts and that it won't be that much of a difference to users generally (there's plenty of successful enterprises and top 50 websites out there that only use os fonts and make $$) and what I get are poorly implemented fonts with inconsistent heights and vertical positioning across different OSs.

And the irony is that since most of your company runs the same OS (MacOS) where this issue is not visible it's like it doesn't exist.

In a recent episode of Huberman Lab Podcast, it was said that it was about space.

That is, smaller screens are bad for cognition. But bigger ones are supposed to be better.

I like paper more with no other thing taken into consideration. But a Kindle is really nice for reading thick novels and non-fictions.

For reading technical books, research papers, books with lots of graphs, figures, etc. I have a 10" android tablet.

I am very satisfied with those.

I still buy physical books regularly.

Jumping to 50 pages back intuitively with your hand feels something different from jumping to a page in a PDF.

While reading a physical book, your peripheral vision also comes into play. Although you read a particular line, your eye "sees" the graph on the other page.

When you navigate to places inside a book, you are also quickly reminded old things with a flash of the materials.

Holding a particular book, sitting and opening it is also an elaborate associative ritual. With ebooks, you are just holding the same piece of silicon brick for all of them.

The speed at which you can turn over to previous page compared to scrolling up is also something to be considered.

These are just some things that I think can explain the gap if there is one.

Everybody notes distraction. But that can be learned to avoid through self-control. I have done that.

Besides self-control, a Kindle has abundance in choice, but its distractions are nothing compared to a much more common smartphone.

My first reading-purpose tablet was a Lenovo 512 MB RAM tablet. Couldn't do anything with it besides running a few ebook reader apps.

And as I said, the choice abundance problem can be solved with self-control.

And I do not trust the conclusion drawn by the papers. Were they done with people who all grew up reading traditional books? If so, the "grouping" would be futile. All people grew up reading paper books. Now you give screens to some of them. Of course these people will have trouble reaching the same level of comfort as compared to the others.

These studies have a general reproduction problem as well.

If we draw n=20,000 1 yos, and give only paper to 10,000 of them, and only screens to the other 10,000, and monitor them for 20 years, will we notive cognitive difference? I might be wrong, but I don't think so.

Aside from the technicalities I mentioned, I don't think paper is something special. Because paper is modern enough to not matter from an evolutionary standpoint.

Because of my insatiable hunger of books and money constraints, I have been reading digitally for a long time. I read 300-700 pagers regularly on a 4.5" smartphone when I was little.

As an adult, I have very little troubles with screens now.

A Kindle is an English novel reading nirvana, and a 10" tablet is a research paper reading nirvana. The experience can't be better for me.

I read on bed, I read on commute, even toilet. Books are impractical in many situations. And you can pack only so many of them.

I also suggest reading on a big tablet rather than a smartphone or an immobile monitor. You will notice the difference.

As other commentors pointed out: The fundamentals of German bureaucracy are way older than 1949.

Americans seem to have a special relation to their constitution, but in practice you interface with more detailed areas of the law much more often. The civil code of Germany [0] is from 1881 and even then was not written from scratch, but contains Prussian laws etc.

These seem like workarounds for self-inflicted Fedora problems. Having a known-good /bin from boot time seems strictly better than an extra copy of some of /bin in a ramdisk that almost nobody works with because it’s quickly thrown away.

Please don't take this as a jab at you as it certainly isn't intended to be.

That said, you express a really transactional view of human interactions. That seems to be a sad way to view the rest of your fellow humans.

Transactional interactions are a normal part of life but, at least for me, I will interact with people, including strangers, because I like interacting with people, not because I want something from them.

Obviously, when transacting with a cashier, a shopkeeper, a waiter, etc. it's transactional.

But in other circumstances, and even sometimes in those circumstances (if that's not inconveniencing them) I will engage others without any expectations or intent to manipulate or use those folks.

Sure, there are folks out there who will engage with you because they want something from you. In my experience, however (and I've lived most of my life in NYC and travelled quite a bit around the US and less around the world) most people are decent, kind people who aren't out to get something from you or trying to scam you.

Yes, doing business in Italy is hard, but when your company is doing poorly financially or is having issues it's the government that is going to pay your worker's salaries. Do places with low taxes have this?

And the education of your worker's is paid by the government, so you don't get employees that are desperate to pay their student loans.

And so is healthcare, so you don't have to pay no insurance (you may, but your workers don't depend on it).

Also, new companies can easily get public funding. Or loans with no interests that are covered by the government. Do companies in different countries get that? Can you get millions in loans at 0 interest that if you can't pay the government will in US?

New companies get a very friendly, near 0 taxation for few years, and the more people you employ (especially if young) the more slack on taxes you get. Do companies in countries with lower taxes get that?

Mind you, I still believe doing business in Italy is too expensive and beurocracy too high, but there's also very serious benefits of doing it that you don't get in silicon valley where the first wrong swing kills your business and company.
