Sidenote as someone who's a member of Gen Z -- I... didn't grow up knowing nearly anything about the USA's wars of aggression other than that we were fighting someone in the middle east. I knew there was fighting, but I didn't (and honestly still don't) understand what for. It was never explained to me and I never thought about it enough to go looking.

Not trying to disprove your point, just sharing my own anecdotal experience.

This is laziness on GitHub.

If your client asks you for work and you get lazy because it needs some internal modification that could take a day instead of an hour, you just respond it's impossible.

Generally that's quite unacceptable especially when they already know about the situation from previous incidents and obviously human errors could happen again and the fact they did restore for their own project doesn't make it look any better.
You make a case for crypto speculation as the only way for youngsters to get rich. I'd like to point out that crypto is arguably a negative-sum game, ie only some can get rich, and only at the expense of others. This is in stark contrast to equity markets as a whole.
Those sponsored posts appear next to whatever appears in the user's feed. If a user follows a bunch of cat photos, then the sponsored post appears next to cat photos. If the user follows a bunch of NASCAR related accounts it appears next to NASCAR. The ad company has little agency over this.

I don't think advertising companies would really see this as an issue. It's not like an ad playing before a video where sponsorship can be directly tied to a piece of content. The content adjacent to ads is determined by users' viewing habits and follows.
I can complain all I want and work for as much change as I'd like.

No, it wasn't, as someone who had dozens of knock-down, drag-out arguments well after this time period.
Data privacy laws like GDPR probably require them to fully hard delete when a user asks for something to be deleted. So any undo functionality would need to make sure it's compliant in every region that could have a privacy law. I'm not sure how realistic it would be to ask companies like Github to jump through all those hoops because people refused to read (and then blindly typed stuff out).
There is also an audiobook version, for some reason not linked from there:

I just add to the conversation. There are great points discussed. No reason to repeat them. I just add
It's no more coercive than any other social norm. If you act disrespectful to the people around you, they will treat you accordingly. Everyone everywhere accepts this in 99% of situations and it is interesting to see the specific exceptions they make.

It's buried, but their website claims the ME is disabled by default: Go to "Configure", expand "Firmware", and click "Learn More":

I’d argue that GitHub should send them a notification that the repo they starred has been made private.

I feel bad for him. Fighting for good security or even a better product shouldn't cost people years of their lives but as long as it doesn't come at the expense of the product's bottom line, there is little reason to compel change as it doesn't impact the bottom line which is what decides whether something is made for most big corporate outputs.

The same argument could be said about "Tech Debt" or non-UL labeled products and a myriad of other causes.

Zero fucks will be paid to anything not socially cool even if it is the responsible thing to do.

That's why we live in the world we live in now.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the world is crap. But for the most part, it takes that "title" just to have a microphone loud enough to move the needle.

This little part of life is what I'm currently struggling with in my post-Covid decision making.
This is extremely unlikely. Those platforms are incredibly far from having a monopoly on information in the west. People looking for the other side would have just gotten it from one of the many many other places it could be found.
Don't forget our geography either! We're in fairly close proximity, physically and politically, with authoritarian Asian states like Singapore, Malaysia and China.

Clevos are pretty good as far as right-to-repair is concerned --- they have good service manuals with schematics.
Partly because the Earth _does_ go around the Sun. Although they are flawed human institutions, scholls generally try to teach things that are true. They do not always succeed, but they generally try.
the point is the people in power represent a limited set of elites that are not invested in the best interests of anyone but themselves
I assume power tool manufacturers use commodity charging circuits, rather than trying to second guess with their own proprietary creation.

> Also, not all 18650s have the same characteristics for dis|charge rates, and capacity.

This is true, but I have one charger that handles them all. Not just 18650s, either, but bigger batteries and smaller ones too. It is a solved problem, and not something that a power tool manufacturer needs to try to solve again.
As soon as I see people making broad generalizations I know its gonna be "that kind of comment thread" and I move on
It is naive to not believe that would happen, so much so that it must be the point.
Being expert in this case means being familiar with the current situation in German nuclear industry and knowing it from the inside. Just knowing how nuclear plant works in theory is not enough.
> That's not the only difference. The other difference is that you also have to type the full repository name, including the organization name.

This is not true.

We had an internal tool at a previous job that required you to type the name of a service's cluster into a field before deleting it. Automated deployments sometimes got left behind - and users would go in periodically and clean them up.

If you watched folks, they would type the name of the cluster being deleted into that box UNTIL they had to do this many times in a row. As soon as it was a "batch" job, folks would go through the motion of:

1. click delete

2. double click service name

3. ctrl+c

4. click text input

5. ctrl+v

6. press "Confirm"

It was remarkable, after someone did this once, I don't think I ever observed them going back to typing in the cluster name. That algorithm of "copy and paste" carried over into every prompt they saw of that form moving forward.

I'm guilty of this too - I no longer type the prompted name for this form of confirmation dialogue, it's a copy-and-paste.

ARM is no better. You’d have to get RISC-V for that.
I don't think that's an accurate assessment of my position or point. You can see my reply to your sibling comment for further explanation from me. In short I don't think a free market is a panacea or perfect, but I do think it's a tool that when used appropriately and kept in check to keep it's known deficiencies from making it a net negative, it's better than what else we have available.
Much of the system dates from the same era and handles 2000s era passenger loads. But yes, deferred maintenance has its cost; a coat of paint prevents the superstructure from rusting away, once that paint is gone and the superstructure has rusted, then it has to be replaced entirely.

That was the sticking point for this particular branch. It needed money in an era where trains were boring and the glorious automobile was our savior, so wasn't going to get any money. It turned out that was not the best long term solution, and that's the sad part. People were onto something with this whole "streetcar suburb" and dense ubran rapid transit system. But, it hit some rough patches, and here we are today. (Overrun by cars and their pollution, but without a transit system that would let people get rid of their car.)
This kind of shit (accidentally doing something that in retrospect feels dumb and stupid but made sense if you were in a certain brain space) happens all the time and it’s nice the author wrote about it. I could easily see myself doing this.

It should be possible for GitHub to restore. If not now, then in the future.
> Honestly, the older I get, the more I like the vision of a 1930-era utopia

Fundamentally all you're saying is that you're a child who needs to be told what to do. That is not compelling.

The solution you're looking for is to grow up. You don't need a totalitarian government to do that for you. You can get that done on your own.

> I can describe how I'd set one up, to guarantee personal freedoms and human rights, and reasonable systems of governance

Maybe just do what Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are doing. They're not perfect, but they sound more like what you want while also allowing you to be an adult.
Hey, I didn't say me ;)
It's not just the green parties. There's a sizeable part of the population in the German speaking world (and I'm sure elsewhere too) that just views nuclear power as something unnatural and perverted. Something that's always going to be more dangerous than beneficial. I think this notion started even before the Chernobyl accident but that plus Fukushima really reaffirmed the fears lots of people had. It's a very shortsighted view of things but it's unlikely to change.
A Marxist entrepreneur. Amazing.
The dividing line between Web 1.0 and 2.0 was, roughly speaking, the dotcom crash. In terms of business model, Web 2.0 is the era of Freemium and User Generated Content, and of Google Adwords. One of the original poster children for this was Flickr, another was Blogger.

Technologically, there isn't much to separate the eras, except perhaps the deprecation of Big Iron approaches to infrastructure in favor of horizontal scaling with commodity hardware, but that's really a spectrum rather than a sharp division.

The Web 2.0 era really hasn't ended, regardless of how the web and it's infrastructure has evolved in the past 20 years. There are various candidates for what will define the next era, but so far none that are indisputably "it".

It's almost everywhere and in older cities it is especially hazardous. Not nearly enough attention is being paid to this, let alone is action being taken fast enough.

In America, we blame individuals when systems fail. We don't have to, we can actually design systems to be better. Design isn't just about making things look pretty. Good design reduces entropy.

It seems overly reductionist to ascribe the essence of 4chan to this one, singular idea. For example, m00t reports that 4chan was inspired by another image board he used to frequent. It is also hardly the first or only website to have light moderation.

The first known interstellar meteor hit Earth in 2014, U.S. officials say
First claims of missile strike was from Ukrainian side way before even radio monitoring OSINT kicked in. So it seems that Ukrainians knew about that cigarette fire on the ship the moment it started 50-150 km from the shore and reported it as their war victory. Coincidence? I don't think so.
It's your customer (repo owners) asking for support and throwing it away being busy is just lazy attitude. You had prior incidents and the bugs were left as is and apparently it will happen again.

How are the two congruent though? How can you say "this type of speech (spam) is not allowed" but also say "I want less censorship and more 'free speech'" (whatever that means). Those two view points seem incompatible.

The moment you confess that some types of speech are harmful to your platform, it just becomes about defining where that line is, and naturally people will have differing opinions on whether they agree with those moderation decisions.
It sounds like you've accomplished a lot already and are financially stable. You can always just buy health insurance yourself if you don't want to work anymore.

Is there anything that you want to accomplish still? What do you want to be the mark you leave on the world?
How do you solve the oracle problem? How do you enforce that a loan be paid back? How do you check that an insurance case has actually occurred? You need institutions to determine and oversee this, and institutions you can trust. If you need to trust them anyway, you can dispense with the hugely inefficient "Proof of Waste" blockchain stuff, and have any required computations run on a few old PCs.
I think the biggest ask the article is making in an unreasonable way is to somehow find millions of contractors who can actually go home by home and refit the heating systems in a timescale that'd actually be relevant for the war in ukraine.

If Germany wanted to switch everyone over to a different kind of lightbulb they'd need to ensure the production capacity to make the new bulb exists and set up logistics to actually distribute it. You'd have a fair amount of non-compliance due to paranoia and other factors but I think you could probably get it done with a year or two of warning... Once you hand the household the lightbulbs they just go through and replace them all and dispose of the old bulbs...

To change out a heating system you need to remove large appliances, install other large appliances, fiddle around with gas lines and the breaker panel (probably you'd need to replace a fair number of breaker panels in older houses to handle the higher throughput), deal with the wiring which might be unsafe for the power you'll be sending over them... then you'd need to actually install the radiators, that involves tearing up floors to do it right (floor radiation can be extremely efficient and generally creates a higher apparent heat than traditional radiators placed next to windows for fire hazard reasons), or else popping in some other more module style of radiator. Those radiators might use direct electric generation or you might opt for additional boiler capacity (much more sane for efficient stand-radiators) which comes with piping requirements along with a lot more wiring work.

All of that is in addition to all the problems I mentioned around lightbulbs - you're still going to need to actually produce and distribute all the material needed to execute this change.

If you, as a person, want to swap out the heating in your house it'll be a weeks (maybe if you're lucky) or months long renovation - imagine trying to do that on the scale of a country, the only way it'd be even plausible is if you essentially drafted large portions of the population and trained them up on trades - that might not be a terrible economic investment, but it certainly isn't going to happen fast.
They could name it after a type of valve. Stopcheck.js has a nice ring to it and seems kind of apt here.
Anecdotal counterexample (I'm Gen Z) -- Ukraine is pictures on a screen, and that's what brought my attention to it! I want Ukraine to win the war and I think what Russia is doing is extremely wrong and heinous, and I also wouldn't have become nearly as invested in the conflict were it not for the fact that this is the first major war to be broadcast on social media. I've seen video clips that made me angry, sad, and horrified, and have catalyzed me to make a firm stance on the issue instead of being ambivalent.

Also anecdotally, every other person I know in my age group is also very pro-Ukraine and not ambivalent, perhaps as suggested by one of the other comments the poll is outdated?
In the context of our society and with "lots" meaning billions - yes it is immoral. I'm sure we've all seen a number of graphics/chats/whatever trying to show wealth inequality, but this is the best one I've come across. Would recommend giving it a look and then asking yourself if having a lot of money isn't immoral.

Lol, I do this whenever they ask me to re-enter my email/password for verification even though I know exactly the purpose this mechanism is trying to enforce.

Meta: why is the word "how" omitted from the title? I've seen this a couple of times recently and I don't understand why people are omitting words like "how" and "why." The only thing I see in the guidelines is about omitting "gratuitous" numbers and adjectives, neither of which "how" and "why" are.

Modern heat pumps work well below freezing, in Chicago 2021 there were 4 days that gas heating would be more efficient. Maybe don't use a radiator? American heat pumps hear air directly.
I don't think so, surely most comes from far bigger fish than the type to have (not have time/resources to avoid) spikes and care about them.
I agree! I'm Gen Z and I sympathize with the "good Russians" because I know a few. I've talked to people living in Russia right now who are furious with Putin for the awful evil things he's doing. I want Ukraine to win the war, but I don't think the Russian people are evil, I think Putin is evil. I'd wager that many pro-war Russians are victims of propaganda and lies and would change their minds if they had access to verifiable sources of truth, but they don't.

Putin is horrible though and I want him and his cronies to be punished to the fullest extent of international law for their crimes against humanity.
Their war equipment is not "last-gen", they basically keep upgrading whatever was left of the USSR and they do sit on the huge stocks of non-modernized Soviet equipment, but eventually they will be left with a useless old and vulnerable hardware. Yes, they made some next-gen tanks and planes which are not combat ready yet but modern Russian industrial capability would be able to churn out only token numbers of those anyway, under sanctions and brain drain.

Russian equipment loss in this war won't be replaced for decades if not longer.
The punishment must be proportionate to the crime. Companies pay less in compensation when a worker has serious workplace injuries resulting in disability than this. I see no justification in "racism" carrying a higher punishment than that.
Did I? You seem to have missed my comment above: “You justified or overlooked the ugly to get the product you wanted or needed”

>I don’t have any options

Sounds like a justification for that action all day long to me.
It's still got some weird behaviours. For example right-click gives you the context menu for the currently selected file, not the one you just clicked. And no confirmation for large operations - you accidentally dragged one folder onto another because of a dodgy touchpad driver? You're now moving those GBs and will have to revert it manually afterwards.
So the entire article, and also the discussion here skips over a very simple point: Nuclear power plants provide baseline loads because they can't be turned on and off at a whim, while gas power plants can scale up and down quickly to handle daily load peaks.

Looking at yearly consumption graphs completely ignores the reality of the grid. Where do you get electricity from for the peaks in the morning and the evening, when solar is still weak and wind may or may not be blowing? Not nuclear, for sure. Maybe coal, but even those plants have response times measured in hours (whereas gas is more in the tens of minutes). And there's only so much hydro you can build.
Drop passive aggressive comments like the one about how they're going to stop wearing their GitHub T-Shirt because of how GitHub subjected them to the same treatment that lesser and more unworthy projects would have received.

I do, I use linuxPackages_latest from nixpkgs. On my first AMD machine (2020 Threadripper) I even made and carried a kernel patch to correctly address audio output pins for a while. Some of that works upstream now, but the AMD-compatible mainboards are spread too thin to be well-supported.
