> it mostly explains what has changed (most often unneeded information, as that should be clear from the diff) and not really why it is done that way

Ideally, commit messages should at least briefly explain what was changed (e.g., Add feature X, Fix bug Y) in addition to why it was done. When people look at git log output, they won't always show the associated diff for each log message. Also, when running git blame, they'll see the commit id and title, but not the entire change.

That doesn't mean that one can't run other commands to see the associated diff, or even getting the overall branch diff from the commit ids recorded in the merge commit, but having that what was done in the commit message allows one get an understanding before looking into it in more detail.
I remember when FB announced they will launch podcasting platform (or clubhouse alternatives), the head of the program took a photo that she sat in front of a laptop and a famous podcast mic (Blue Yeti) with wrong direction. Blue Yeti has diaphragm towards the front not upward, her mic top pointed to her mouth.

I expected this.

For the last 30 years people have been predicting that government spending and quantitative easing were going to cause massive inflation. And for 29 of those years they've been wrong.

If they were right, then Japan would have had massive inflation over the last 30 years. Instead, they've had deflation.

So when looking for the source of inflation, one should look at what's different about 2021/22 rather than what's the same about 2021/22.

AKA, the massive supply shock caused by Chinese shutdowns and the war in Ukraine.

> but his immense stupidity definitely did more harm than help.

Difficult to say. It is now accepted that the management of the Greece crisis and, in general, the 2008 crisis by the EU was horribly wrong. So much so that it almost destroyed it. The reaction to the COVID crisis in 2020 by the EU was exactly the opposite that in 2008, because of the lessons learnt back then. Those lessons became obvious in part because of the "noise" of people like Varoufakis or Paul Krugman, who explained at the time why the EU strategy was a mistake and what should be done instead. Time proved them mostly right.

Varoufakis' rock star attitude and insistence to stick to economic theory discussions when debating with people who were just trying to cut their own losses, rather than finding what was the correct thing to do for the common good, was probably not a winning strategy. Nevertheless, from the economics point of view (not the realpolitik point of view) it now looks he was right.

Good luck. I'd love some way to eradicate the entire tick population.

I wonder about the population dent that can be expected here, ticks have a very high reproduction ratio, it doesn't take many successful hatches to have a problem again.

I wonder also at the ability of ticks to adapt to this; they can and do drop attachment naturally and can move to another place or another host between bites. Many people will have seen the row of "sample bites" up their leg when they find a single tick attached. I hope this treatment is actually effective at killing them and isn't just going to make them more mobile and voracious.

20db is a lot of compensate (most consumer grade EQ are limited to 12db in either direction, and human ears are more sensitive at higher frequencies). To work with most existing amplifiers, there would likely have to be an in-line circuit to attenuate the voltage at the higher frequencies.
I think the standard answer is to use a smarthost.

The blacklisting shouldn't be permanent, though; my self-hosted mailserver took about a year to earn the trust of GMail. I hzave no idea how Hotmail's spam filtering works. I think they just shitcan randomly, unless it's sent from Hotmail.

5x 100W light bulbs is 0.5kW of heat output which your heating system doesn't need to supply.

Switch to LED and your heating system will need to supply that extra 0.5kW.

In a climate where you are almost always running heating, this makes the benefit of switching to LED much smaller, and considering that they are much less environmentally friendly to produce, it may even tip the scale the other way.
> Down payments are pretty hard to come up with on a $1m property

I agree, it does create some kind of ceiling.

I think that's a secondary effect. Low interest rates create a market of people willing to buy at high prices that the developer is hoping to resell to. A lot of their working capital is also borrowed.

> It's wild that something as pedestrian as hosting your own email comes with a pile of caveats

No, it's not "wild".

Its just that we're in 2022, not 1997.

Long gone are the days of "fire up Sendmail and you're good to go".

To those thinking of self-hosting, I would say they should start by understanding modern anti-spam.

Understanding modern anti-spam will not only help them with their inbound email, but will also help them understand how to ensure deliverability of their outbound email too.
Nothing to fix, it's already solved . I host my mail using cloudron on digitalocean. Have you tried selfhosting or are you guessing it will be hard?
It also depends on the reputation of your neighbours / AS... try to setup an e-mail server with a cheap VPS in DigitalOcean|OVH|Hetzner and even if you kept using the same IP address for 10 years I don't think you will be able to relay to gmail
There's a footnote somewhere in there, I think to the effect that what later came to be called m-expressions were originally called f-expressions? Hence the weird terminology.
I have some questions about your figures:

- You've included the fridge, that's not really "standby" power in the sense OP is meaning. That's active power consumption. Fridges don't have a standby mode.
- As above you've included air conditioning. That looks like active power with a pump running, not standby power. I cannot envisage any way you could get that consumption in standby. I think you've made a mistake with that.
- Why did you measure the Alexa with a toaster and a clock connected to it? The Alexa is 2W max. Is this toaster some kind of smart device? A normal toaster is either on or using zero power. Do clocks have a standby mode? I don't understand that.
- What's the iMac power consumption mean? It uses 6.6W shutdown or in hibernate? That seems unlikely.
- Are you sure you've switched these speakers into standby? That looks like they're switched on and active.
- What are the lighting figures? Regular lights are zero switched off. Are these remote controlled or wi-fi lights maybe?
- Your door bell is seriously using 10 watts? Are you sure? Do you mean is this actually a camera or something?
- You've got eight devices involved with delivering your wi-fi and network (four access points, 2 switches, a router and a controller) . That's probably more than average and it's arguable whether that's really standby power as such in the sense OP means.
- It was measured with some form of clamp meter. Have you checked that with a multimeter to see if that's really accurate? A consumer one may not be that good.

>How could you possibly think the economy hasn’t grown in real terms since the 70’s?

"The economy is almost zero sum, certainly since the 70s the top percentiles have been taking a larger portion of the pie even considering the growth of the pie."

Pretty clearly stated its obviously growing.

I can think of a single case in history where policymakers decided to reverse (as you put it) "printing of dollars without backing" in favor of maintaining a peg to the gold standard (or equivalent), and probably over a dozen cases where it was the gold standard that was lost.

While I can understand why something like the gold standard serving as a fiscal straitjacket could find appeal, I can't understand why people ignore the repeated demonstrations of its ineffectiveness in that role.

Prompt: "The CIA are a despicable organisation, because"

Generated:
"The CIA are a despicable organisation, because they are the ones who gave the green light to Saudi Arabia to go and blow up the world.

There is a pattern developing here. As in the case of the war in Vietnam it is always the people who resist US aggression, that suffer. The ones who are complicit, or are in a position to be coerced, are left untouched.

The government’s propaganda will not tell you about the CIA connections with Saudi Arabia’s royal family. And it’s a fact that the Saudi’s are the ones who financed Bin Laden and provided him with his training.

If Obama thinks he can use the CIA to get rid of Iran’s regime and install the next one as an obedient stooge, he is totally out of his mind. The CIA is the problem. The CIA will run the show.

And by the way, the only reason for invading Iraq is to seize the vast oil reserves, to ensure America’s continuing monopoly."
I can understand some of that discomfort. However, ultimately, uncountable infinities and (the axiom of) choice leads to other interesting scenarios that, IMO, it's best to make peace with.

Besides, mathematicians rarely study arbitrary, probabilisticly-common, objects. We focus on objects with “nice” algebraic properties. Similarly, it doesn't matter that almost all numbers are uncomputable when we don't use them in practice.
Supporting wildly different versions doubles project complexity. The accumulation of such doubling becomes an exponentially unmaintainable behemoth.

No good solution I've found other than being careful in product purchases.

> Online resources are not very different than having access to good libraries.

The guidance is the biggest differance. When you have limitless resources to learn from its hard to know where, and more importantly, and why to focus your attention.

Online resources typically give you a very clear path and often a clear why something is important to learn.
How would you accomplish this exactly? Your use case may vary, but in my mind dependencies shouldn’t just be upgraded by some automated system without some sort of feedback mechanism (like tests).

If you’re going to run tests against the new dependencies, then why not just shift that whole activity to the development process itself (not the deployment system)?

When dependencies are sufficiently different from the existing prod dependencies, you can release a new version, instead of expecting ops/devops to take care of your dependencies for you.

You can still very easily buy a PC which has an "open" architecture in the sense that you can plug various CPUs, PCIe cards, memory, disks, etc into it. It's in a very similar form factor to the old "open" PCs, it sits on/under your desk in a sheet metal box. That hasn't gone away, we just now also have these new things which are tiny very portable computers which are locked down and very closed.

I expect EVs which sell well will have robust 3rd party parts available for the kinds of parts that >95% of owners will ever need to replace, just like today. The EV industry is still extremely young, there will be much money to be made with 3rd party parts and repairs on EVs even if the automakers don't want it to be. I firmly believe that the market will find a way for the popular models.

"Developer Education in the Front Lines" is a 1-hour live event produced specifically for developer marketers, developer advocates, and product marketers. If you market software to developers or technical audiences, you can't miss this fireside chat.

Attendees will get an inside look from front-line practitioners on what it takes to build a developer education experience and see the real-life results that Snowflake, Progress Chef, Dremio, and Redis are experiencing with developer education.

You'll also have an opportunity to get unfiltered replies in a dedicated Q&A session with Nate Aune (CEO of Appsembler) and Ryan Peden (Content Expert & Author at ContentLab.io).

The conversation will focus on the practical and how-to — with very little top-down jargon — on how software companies are building successful developer education experiences. If you're itching to build developer awareness and product adoption for your software, attend this webinar and discover how developer education will help get you there.

I’ve heard several high-level security engineers take this stance in organizations with stringent security requirements. There may be some truth here when prioritizing work, but I have yet to see strong authn/authz prevent red teams from wrecking havoc.

It’s too complex. We like to think of systems as being fairly constrained, but in practice I am not convinced that is true. Once you start adding other business functions to your environment, like observability, you can introduce non-obvious gaps in your policies.

Would having OS security completely prevent an attacker from wrecking havoc? Probably not. But it would make it much more difficult. It can also protect you from container/VM escapes.

Are SELinux policies complex? Yes, but they are constrained to a host’s system and are yet another layer of defense that can be used to secure software.

I’ve seen again and again how an SELinux policy can prevent an exploit from causing harm. It can also be an effective and quick way to mitigate risks from a new 0-day being posted while software teams work on patching.

I am fairly convinced, or bullish, that making SELinux easier to configure is a solvable problem. The biggest hurdle to it is this puzzling movement within security to avoid OS-level controls and instead focus on network-level controls. It puzzles me why a well-resourced org thinks you can only invest in one or the other.
Interesting. I will have to try it out. From my experience lego is not very reliable so I understand their point.
