I think in the "But theres a confirmation box, right?" and if I had to quote a portion I'd quote

>>"To paraphrase, the box tells you “You’re about to demolish a house. If there are any people inside, they will all die”. But it doesn’t include anything specific to break you out of your auto-pilot mode if you’ve confused the address and think you’re looking at an empty house."

>>"The dialog should be more contextual and, paraphrasing again, it should say “You’re about to kill 55,000 people.” That would’ve certainly made me pause."

Theres something about the juxtaposition that makes it feel like it should have been obvious. I think its because in those examples you would blame whoever didn't put whatever guard rail was necessary to prevent those outcomes. My suspicion is that it wasn't the authors intent and they were probably just upset, but thats an opinion I formed after reading the rest.
Sure, you can do that, but its just the convention you are using at the time. It doesn't change what the Earth and the Sun are actually doing.
Fwiw I've played with the Spotify api before for managing playlists in my account and that was not complicated. The GDPR export is also computer-readable (json) though it takes a literal month (sleep(rand(10,20)*days) for the initial set, then contact support to also get the "diagnostic" data associated with your account and wait some more). But it's probably more work for you to switch than it's worth.

OK, but even when detonated high enough above the ground that no appreciable fallout is produced, nukes are quite destructive. In fact, for many kinds of targets, cities being one, the altitude that maximizes destruction is high enough.
And why did he do that? Because he founded Facebook as Director/Owner and want's to drive the company the direction he wants. Once more, it's about the governance of the company the priority. He did not put first optimization of the shareholders profit. That hopefully will come.

Or to give another variation on my argument. Let's assume that with his decisions on governance, he embarks on a road that provides for a steady stream of profits, on a new domain of guaranteed margin and high entry barrier for competitors.

A business model that will provide steady, slow, stable, but minimal grow.
That will be good for the company on the long term, but not that good for shareholders returns. The lack of grow is unlikely to create a stock price increase.
It’s not so much a fallacy as it is a further relationship between prices and supply or demand, called elasticity.

A change in prices will produce differing marginal changes in demand for different goods/services, depending on many factors such as whether the good is an essential or a luxury, the availability of substitutes, competition in the marketplace, and others.

This relationship is part of the information used when deciding MSRP, so it’s not entirely unexpected that an increase in costs doesn’t translate to an increase in retail price, if profit margins allow it.
They apparently do. Even if they did hard delete they still should have backups. They just got lazy fixing it after several similar incidents and this one was expected and yet all they do is a tweet saying "good luck building up the community again".

My faith in their tech department is falling when they can't fix such a small issue.

I suppose I'm doing exactly what you want to avoid here (guessing GP's meaning), but I think their meaning is really quite obvious and isn't that hard to guess. GP can contradict me if they feel I'm talking out of my back.

American Social Media corps are pretty heavily progressive-dominated, which is typically called "The Left-Leaning Bias", but that's a shame, because American "Leftism" is really a laughable low-dimensional projection of what actual leftism looks like. So anyways, because of this, progressive social media denizens reciprocate this preferential treatment by being free (as in bear) and dependable apologists, always defending said corporations whenever they arbitarily ban, censor or otherwise unfairly treat those with the wrong opinons, often employing the well-known phrase that GP quoted.

GP is implying that those people are about to discover the brutal truth that suppression tactics are perfectly symmetric and care not who employs it against whom.

The whole argument hinges on the claim that 35% of electricity in Germany is generated by gas. This seems very high and I couldn‘t find a source for this claim in the article.

According to [1], it‘s 14% (for consumers). This includes a large number of CHP (combined heat and power plants), which produce district heat and cannot be replaced with nuclear power.

Then there‘s 36% of industry usage , of which 1/5 [1] is used for power generation in industry power plants. I‘d assume that quite a few of these on-site power plants do other things too, like CHP, and cannot be replaced with nuclear power.
Ignoring this, it’d be

14% + 36%*21% = 21,56% of total Gas used for power, in reality, much less would be replaceable with nuclear.

The EU economic think tank Bruegel claimed [2]:

A technically and politically difficult decision to delay the closure of German nuclear power plants in operation until the end of 2021 could free up another 120 TWh of gas

Germany used 945,3 Twh in 2020[3], of which 94,8% was imported[4] That’s 816,14 Twh.

In 2020 55,2% of the imported gas came from Russia [5], so 494,7 Twh.
So, according to Bruegel, a respected European think tank, Germany could replace 24,3% of the Russian gas it imported in 2020, if it managed to re-open its power plants closed in 2021. (the ones put out of use years earlier are being demolished[6]

OT but related: I've been exploring what a spectrum-centered introduction to light-and-color might look like, and making it accessible young using web interactives. Color is widely taught kindergarten on, but with less-than-wonderful outcomes - even first-tier physical-sciences graduate students often have fundamental misconceptions. If anyone is interested, it could be fun to chat.
I'm surprised no one here or in the original comments points out the sheer violence of that first photograph, depicting the dead bodies of three Ukrainians. I find it deeply unethical to use such war photographs for a paid newsletter, without showing respect to the families and memories of these people.

Obviously it would be nice to see A similar response from GitHub regardless of whether the issue at hand is affecting themselves versus a member of their community. But, as long as humans are making the decisions, that’s probably a pipe dream. And honestly, policing could very well be the standard example of this.

I tried Moonscript (another lang that compiles to Lua). Unlike JS, it didn't seem like the Lua VM supported source-mapping, so if there was a runtime error in my code, it appeared as a gibberish Lua error and not a MoonScript error. Is the same true for Fennel?
For anyone else reading, this does not seem like a qualified or legitimate take on Japanese life from my experience of a year of actually living in Tokyo. Maybe the OP has had equal personal experience and just percieved it differently, but there's almost no chance a Japanese person in Tokyo would dine and dash, and being raised in their culture from birth absolutely does make one less inclined to do things like that.

Post-modernist views that all cultures make people who are equally bad and good and that it has little effect simply don't hold up to even a cursory analysis of available statistics on the regional rates of crime/violence/exploitation worldwide.

But is it true? Any nation of 330M will have some loud arrogant people, but is “getting rich by doing nothing” uniquely American in aspiration or reality?

I’d argue no - our aspiration is that we’re farmer cowboys, our rich all the more so. Our reality is more complicated, but (for its many flaws) different than alleged here.
Might very well be, thanks :-)
It's hard to navigate comments, but I cannot find the important stuff being discussed. I mean: how the hell can he even remotely viably secure $43B in cash?! All this "$200B net worth" is pretty much bullshit — it's multiplying current stock price by the amount he holds. (Hugely overpriced stock, in his case.) Sure, he can borrow insane amounts of money using this stock as a leverage, but no way it can be even close to $40B! Right?
In what sense is it correct? It just makes calculations easier.

> Wood is a renewable resource, it gets cut and replanted all_the_time. Pine is a 30 year cycle and our country is full of it. Can you tell me what restrictions you think are in place preventing tree farmers from growing and selling trees?

Nothing. But they also aren't growing the kind of wood your grandparents' furniture was made from.

The trees grown today are the fastest growing varieties available, and are correspondingly softer on average. You certainly couldn't dig your thumbnail into a plank of old growth pine like you can into a modern 2x4 (even though pine is technically a softwood).
Why would they not mention that more prominently?

Agreed, stability is a big plus. I recently decided to take the plunge and start learning Common Lisp, and now it's my favorite language despite some warts.

Black Mirror IRL. I'm sure the app is so popular because people install it voluntarily...

It's scary to think that an autocratic government has the power to influence the thoughts and actions of 1.4bn people. The US may spend an exorbitant amount on its defense budget, but the CCP can effectively weaponize the entire population on a whim, which somehow seems even scarier.
a) Because it's no longer technically feasible not to shut these plants down.

b) Because it's not politically tenable.

c) Because nuclear energy has long since been a minor part of electricity generation, and it wouldn't make much of a difference now.

d) Because it has nothing to do with imports of Russian gas and oil, which is overwhelmingly used for heating, fuel, and industrial purposes. Gas (not just from Russia) only makes up less than 10% of electricity generation. Oil is virtually not used at all for that.

e) Because it's by far the most expensive way of generating electricity, and would not be economically viable without massive subsidies. France's EDF is tens of billions in debt and would be bankrupt without the government backstopping them.

f) Because long-term storage of nuclear waste is still not properly solved.

g) Because mining nuclear materials is an ecological disaster. Also, guess who's a big exporter of uranium in Europe? Russia.

h) Because our long-term plan to switch to renewable sources of energy has been in full swing for over 20 years, and is coming along nicely with fossil fuels more and more getting phased out.

Bonus point: It's incredibly funny how the people who complain about us shutting down our nuclear power plants pretty much always come from countries that have a substantially lower share of renewable energy than we do (ours is at around 45% now) and often import more gas from Russia at least on a per-capita basis then we do, too.
> just pin to a version like a good dev

Good devs don't keep up with dependencies' security updates or was this meant ironically?

Also, you'd have to pin to a hash, I imagine. Changing the version tag and pushing with -f doesn't sound like rocket science for someone with malice in mind. Next time you deploy it, you'll still get that code.

I read this and it is interesting. I get why asking JS Hint contributors to re-submit/approve their changes is clear of the Do No Evil clause.

But, I don't understand why all changes before that (from JS Lint Day 1 until it was forked into JS Hint) aren't subject to that same clause. Why is the Eclipse Foundation not subject to it?
Probably not intentional, but the title sounds like a pun. "Matter" as in "brain matter".

> The biggest disadvantage seems to be that the screen is bog-standard 16:9.

Bigger than that IMO is 14" @ 1080p. It's just too little for daily use for me. Framework are so far the only ones in this market segment who have ever marketed >1080p laptop displays AFAIK. I have a hard time understanding why there is such a lack of higher-res panel options across the market, even when seemingly all other relevant specs are high-end.

I'm sure like usual when this comes up, some people will come reply with "you can't make out the difference anyway", which is just not true. Some of us prefer smaller fonts and higher information density. 8px font size is just less ergonomic and more tiring for the eyes. For 16:9 14" I just won't consider anything below 1440p.
> Having physical needs met is trivial in our society. Everything beyond is self imposed suffering by comparing oneself to others

Sometimes we have dependants that cannot ensure their own wellbeing (e.g. children). Sometimes we have good reasons to believe that we will not be able to work in the future (e.g. health issues).

Ensuring that you and your loved ones will have a decent quality of life regardless of your ability to work in the future can be a strong motivator to push your own boundaries today.
In my opinion, people who reject any "conspiracy theory" across the board are just as cognitively deficient as those who accept any controversial idea that challenges some conventional narrative.

Conspiracies exist. Cover-ups exist. Propaganda is always in play. People act surprised when human behavior that has played out throughout written history is revealed, again, in the news as some sort of big scandal (surveillance leaks, MK Ultra, Operation Sea Spray, Operation Northwoods, Panama Papers, etc.).

If you were a Russian citizen today, so much of your conventional information would be wrong and someone with that personality type would seem to us an absolute fool with a completely distorted reality. And apparently that is exactly what's happening, as a recent Reuters article reported: Putin's approval rating is doing pretty well since the Ukraine conflict began. In the western world, we have much more freedom of information, but we certainly don't have ubiquitous, objective information.

Everyone wants an easy, lazy solution (only accept information from a preferred news source or the opposite: accept anything that challenges the mainstream), but if you want to have the most accurate reality possible, you have to continuously apply some thought to your available information yourself.
I remember seeing a documentary, I'd say something like 20 years ago, about a kid (I think) who was shot in the head, survived, had close to half of his brain gone, and his brain had figured ways to make it all work after a while, rearranging neural pathways. He was functioning more or less as if he had his full brain, except for the obvious hole in his skull. I don't remember much more details, though.

> I specifically dislike the "Lessons" section, as it throws all the blame on github and doesn't mention the seemingly obvious advice: "make sure you're not on autopilot when taking potentially dangerous actions, on github or any website".

First of all, this is self-evident. But second of all and more importantly: it doesn’t scale.

The reason we have blame-free postmortems is because people will always make mistakes, so we find ways to change process or design to minimize those mistakes.

If you think you’ll never do something on autopilot, you’re fooling yourself.

This change also clears out watchers. I was watching the repo to be notified of new releases (and security updates) and that was wiped out as part of this mistake.
From the article:

1. Legal hurdles. "The previous law was changed to close the nuclear power plants after Fukushima."

2. Safety. "To keep the reactors open in 2023, Germany would need to accept accelerating the risk assessment and maybe living without some retrofittings."

3. Fuel. "The reactors would then need new fuel, which would take 12-15 months to arrive, and would require a doubling of manufacturing capacity."

4. Spare parts. "They also fear that some spare parts would be lacking because there is no further market in Germany for them."

5. Personnel. "People have been retiring and no new ones have been trained, so it would be hard to get the people."

6. Economics. "With lack of clarity on spare parts and personnel, how can we commit to a reliable delivery or energy? We can’t be 100% confident."

7. Energy replacement. "Until the new nuclear fuel is in place, we would make up for the shortage with more electricity coming from coal and gas."

National pride could be a big reason, maybe it carried their newest hypersonic missile, or maybe it carried some other new technology.

And since it sunk in the Black Sea, depending on the exact location, it could have sunk in a relatively shallow area, where it is easy to do the salvage even if there is no really good reason.

The Israeli Navy, for example, spent several decades searching for its lost submarine INS Dakar. It was located in 1999 and then the conning tower was salvaged from a depth of 3,000m and placed in the Naval Museum.
