Allowing people to decide who they're going to engage with is freedom of association. Platforms which allow unlimited brigading prevent unpopular subcommunities from holding conversations amongst themselves.

Hyper-polarization is not diminished when those who disapprove of a community descend en masse to interject and disrupt. Platforms which don't allow subcommunities to wall themselves off degrade the ability of those subcommunities to use the platform, and if the volume of disruptive posts is high enough, essentially deny them use of the platform by allowing them to be shouted down.

This applies no matter who the subcommunities are or what politics they espouse.
Yes, there are tons of those now. No doubt because of the popularity of things like Tailwind. This one is particularly popular: https://headlessui.dev/
Windows has the reverse problem, where you are blocked to delete an in-use file, but it's buggy as hell and very opaque as to what is holding that file.
The notion that a man has some say in the decision to have a child has been frowned upon for a while. "It's the womans choice" is the moral message in fiction that touches the subject, for like 40 years plus now.

Certainly the economic contraction in the west was real and looked very much like a "collapse." But it was as much a product of frequence plagues with corresponding population loss as it was of some more systemic civilizational collapse.

In the east, in Anatolia, the Roman civilization lived on with quite a bit more vibrancy and power than people often recognize.

But in places like Britain it's pretty night and day: early 5th century still a predominantly Christian Roman province speaking Latin and Brythonic, by the end a predominantly Saxon speaking mostly non-Christian population with drastically reduced economic activity and wealth.
Good to know the web still allows it - will do that in the future. Thank you!
Although I get what you're saying, I challenge that it "won't get through to certain people". I think the advice is pretty common for people in that mindset. It's littered in every best selling self-help books read by millions worldwide (Tony Robbins, Mel Robbins, lots of Robbins for some reason).

It is definitely "life changing" going from a depressive state to a neutral or even positive one. But it seems most people start their self-improvement journey from depressive states they aren't aware of. Break-ups, financial ruin, tragic loss, shitty job, family issues, etc.

While self-actualization is indeed different for us all, there is a common sentiment to it which is being able to realize your full potential. The only way to do that is to constantly work on improving yourself as a person. That gives you much of the newfound sense of "security" and "growth" we all strive for in life.
Those cameras inside lenses look unbelievably small. I didn’t know “we have the technology” like that, feels spy movie territory.
A Simple HTTP Server in Go
Yes, it mostly is.

Understanding systems, algorithms, design patterns etc. takes time. Nobody ever starts out writing a solution that incorporates things they don't know. That's why we have education, training, certificates etc. to rectify that and have people start out with some sort of foundation instead of from scratch.

It is rare I come across something I would classify as _good engineering_. It is mostly just crap.

Only artisans put any value into being succinct, using appropriate algorithms and data structures. Everyone else struggle with getting it to work. I think that paradigm covers just about any field of engineering out there.
Stainless doesn’t really hold up in saltwater, with the exception of a few grades. The material properties (toughness, ductility, brittleness, weldability) can also be significantly different than non stainless.

Corten can work in less aggressive environments, but it has been known to fail to provide the expected protection in places with more acidic rain than was expected. Salt water is really aggressive.

Hot dip galvanizing does work, and is common for small boats, dock fittings, and other smaller items. There are also likely sacrificial anodes on the ship made of zinc.
This bias is a consequence of what Kahneman called “What You See Is All There Is.” It’s bad logic and ascribing signal when it’s actually projections of the observer.

That isn’t to say there is no effect - people might start to see themselves as more disciplined if they look sharp. “Look good, play good”, as my coach used to say.
Not to mention that when you are struggling to pay rent, you are often struggling to pay utilities too. Time without water, electricity, or gas to wash, cook, and keep things cold seriously impact your ability to cook, even if you do have the time.
There aren’t any.

Why ask 'why' at all, about anything? In particular, why did you ask this question?

There is a plausible Darwinian story to be told about why generalized curiosity about causes abets fitness, but no-one would have come up with that explanation without asking quite a few questions about why things are as they are.
I learned this when I was a teen as a simple memory exercise. Each night in bed before falling asleep I'd try to run through the phonetic alphabet and I've retained it ever since (30+ years later).

It's hugely valuable for removing ambiguity and confusion in phone calls. While most people don't know the phonetic alphabet well enough to spell words using it, everyone understands when a word is spelled to them using the phonetic alphabet.
I love alt historical thinking. What would have been the big shifts in the tech tree? Literacy to moveable type would have done wonders. And coal. And banking. I think that would have been enough. Monotheism was a disaster for intellectual development.
It’s a per-unit-area comparison:

https://www.betonconsultingeng.com/passive-radiative-cooling...

“”SkyCool arrays work by cooling a fluid that moves below the panels and is pumped through refrigeration systems. The cooling helps reduce the run time of motors in the refrigeration system to reduce electricity consumption. All told, the SkyCool system can reject heat at about 100 watts per square meter, saving between 450 and 550 kilowatt-hours per square meter every year—twice the average production of a solar panel.—Brooks Johnson, Star Tribune, 12 March 2022“”
It seems that way but I think the virtual machine (universe) we run on just has some emergent constraints on possibilities and outcomes and we are just observing them.
A Telegram bot I made for personal tracking. It serves a single purpose, whenever I send it a command, it logs the current timestamp to a Firebase DB. The bot itself is hosted on a free Heroku dyno. It has collected over 850 timestamps across 3+ years and I haven't had to check up on it once.

Who cares if the US Navy's ships look like crap, this isn't a particularly intellectually stimulating topic, nor is it one that is of much interest outside of the US.
Problem is that, as I said, the architects of globalism are using this issue. They aren't motivated by the climate or any other of several, rotating concerns. They're motivated by a lust for power/wealth/prestige. You can't achieve difficult objectives unless you are really trying--and they aren't!

However you can ruin the efforts of others by demanding that their work serve a primary political agenda.
Worth noting the entirety of the actual code would be

While true, what causes the fires? That’s important. Non-electric vehicle fires are most often caused by external causes, not something inherent in the design or during normal operation.

I think that the sacrificial anodes work for places where it’s a hull in electrolyte, it wouldn’t necessarily work for salt spray in the superstructure.
i cannot think how this is a good idea

you’re building a service on top of somebody else’s service, especially Google’s

as someone who built a SaaS on top of Google APIs, i’d be afraid to build another service that depends on them

Google will change and break their APIs more often than you’d expect, introduce new API versions and deprecate old ones without any backwards compatibility

you’ll be stuck in cat and mouse game fixing every damage introduced by changes in the API and your software will break completely when they decide to deprecate the API in favour of a new one

it’s only a matter of time until this product breaks because of Google’s API policies (remember there’s no warranty?) and your users/customers won’t keep up with that for long

advice for somebody who learned it the hard way: do not build a product that depends on Google, or you risk losing your business
I don't know about modern ships -- I suspect a lot of this is classified -- but as an example, the WWII Bismark had a hull which was around a foot thick, as armor.

(1) Rust wouldn't go all the way through. Surface rust isn't a problem.

(2) You want high-quality armor; toughness is key. Steel composition should be primarily chosen for toughness-to-weight

(3) And cost, of course.

Stainless would have been expensive, and given little upside, and potentially a lot of downside in terms of less effective armor plating.

Obviously, modern ships are entirely different (much less armor, actually, instead relying on active defenses), but I assume there are sensible reasons for materials choices.
If you read the article, they talk about how commercial merchant marine vessels use modern coatings and materials, but that the US Navy has not approved their use after several years. Another failure.

The modern materials are required since the EPA outlawed the coatings they used to use that actually worked.
Hm, I don't think one should be contrasted with the other. That is, WFH somewhere in your home city is independent of traveling the world. We can promote the former without encouraging the latter, but Airbnb is mostly doing the latter. (It's their business model after all to provide services for people who do not stay at home.)
A great deal of the benefit of Option comes from where it isn't used - you know most things can't be null and simply don't have to think about the possibility.

unwrap() bugs are annoying, yes, but at the end of the day they're just a fancy assert(), helpfully spelled out in the code and confined to bits of it where the value is Option<T>. This is a much better situation than a language where nulls can in principle turn up anywhere.
I do not have the answer to your specific question as I have no inside knowledge of that government. To mitigate potential concerns I would install that cert into a browser that is in a virtual machine. Qubes OS [1] and Virtual Box [2] are a couple free options. Qubes is about a 5GB download. VirtualBox is a much smaller application download but would require a small desktop ISO to boot a VM from. If their site complains you are using a VM then you know something interesting is going on.

> Why does this malady strike the U.S. Navy and healthcare so severely?

Both industries substantially outsourced functionality in the 90s in an attempt to cut costs.

Consequently, they are now less empowered (vs historical levels) to effect change in their own processes in a timely manner.

Large organizations need to pay more attention to ossification of processes as a serious future risk, that needs to be balanced against immediate savings.
That's why kneeling busses exist. Are EV busses not equipped with that feature?
Had the same experience with Scala. Oh, Option types? Cool! Wait, why am I getting NPEs??? Oh, we're using some java library, nulls galore!
For those wondering how this works, n & n-1 zeros out the least significant 1. Simply by doing this repeatedly you count the number of 1s.

Not just “moral message”, also law in most of the West.

After ejaculation, men have no more legal right about what happens with their sperm and resulting fetuses/children.
Erlang sidesteps the problem by avoiding mutable shared state, in this context they're threads/processes in name only.

Go is just yet another implementation of green threads that is slightly less broken than prior implementations, because it had the benefit of being implemented on day 1 (so the whole ecosystem is green thread-aware). It's certainly nowhere near "best-in-class".
You are most likely unable to lift your ring finger when the tall finger is bent under your palm, but it's possible to lean to move it, I just don't know how :)
I love that book, but I’m not sure Kahneman would agree that it applies here when we are evaluating not whether an individual looks sharp (imagine a salesperson on commission) but instead whether the individual+their work/domain/communication is sharp.

I find that to be a very valuable signal, and I’m struggling to imagine how I could be disagree with on this.

I'm a little confused - did you mean the linked blog post has stock photos and looks like a PR nightmare?

If so, maybe I'm just a little biased here but the blog/website looks pretty nice, IMO :). Is it really that bad?

If you meant that allowing anyone to publish posts or add files to your blog/file store could be a risk, you can choose to allow only specific emails that you trust to post blogs/add files. Hope that clears it up. You can also hide posts after submission and files in your File Store are by default private - these are your safety nets.
Kathleen Kennedy would be an example of an outspoken misandrist in media.

But the existence of a few at the top is different than discussing the overall demographics of a field, and both of those fields are primarily female — from education onwards.

I thought the military had exemptions on EPA compliance for stuff. For example: US Army tanks use depleted uranium projectiles. Those are definitely not good for the environment.
I like your article and went to your home page to find more good articles and I like what I saw. Thank you for sharing. The only thing is that I am reading from my phone and the site is not very mobile friendly
Yes, that is clearer, thanks.

> i objected to the use of the word 'owe' in the advice, basically.

I suppose the original post does not state the "owing" in an absolute sense but as a recommendation to shape your morals so that they include that it's good to feel that something should be returned. Using the word "owe" for that is suitable, though it does not mean that everybody you see in the situation would "owe" money to the performer.
How about reducing the Navy budget because current spending is beyond wasteful for equipment that's hardly used since wars are becoming so rare. For the minimum set of future ships, sure, lets look for technology that'll save tax-payers money.
I think they oughtta offer a receipt, at least. Tax authorities do love their paperwork.
As a Navy physician who has dealt with COVID and fatigue, I think the chronic low pay contributes to a lack of people which leads to overwork, exhaustion, a sort of "this is my lot in life" acceptance of mild to moderate depression. And you get to the point you just look away for your own sanity. Healthcare workers get paid less as you get closer to the coasts. And military gets only very modest pay adjustments for housing costs. A colonel in Kansas may live like a king, but a captain in San Diego can't afford a house.

Edit: I also agree with the posts about outsourcing leading to ossification and rigid stratification. You want rigid stratification? Try military medicine.
It's a kids'/popular science q&a site. I don't think it lines up well with the audience here, but it's a fine question for that site.
Last I checked, you can't have a baby without unprotected sex. If you ejaculate inside a fertile woman, how do you not see that as a choice?

Except in cases of men who are raped, it absolutely represents a choice on the part of the man. The fact that you can't force a woman to have an abortion (or to not have one) after the fact doesn't seem like an infringement on your rights.

Won't it all be in one long line?

Doesn't seem negligible when the editability issues with CSV were also minor.

> No escaping. If you want to put \u001F or \u001E in your data – tough you can’t. Use a different format.

Wanting those characters specifically is rare, but wanting to safely store an arbitrary unicode string - maybe a filename - is very common. Parsers might invent their own escaping to handle this.
Do you have a similar book to study for "Highschool maths" before starting this one?

Well you're in luck because it's likely we'll have a nuclear war soon, and that will put plenty of aerosols in the atomosphere, and cool things down.
"Us dudes (assuming you are one) are also equally to blame."

Are we though? If women wanted children and most men didn't, then women could just use sperm donors. The constraints in reproduction are heavily on the female side. Meaning one sperm donor could fertilize many eggs in a short time. Generally speaking a surrogate would only be carrying one child at a time.

That said, the underlying reasons for not wanting kids are probably similar.
Completely changing your post, after it's been replied to, without an indication it was edited, is dishonest. You are not arguing in good faith.
What I get is a crash when I open a new tab because the process launched to manage it is using the newly installed binary, which isn't compatible with the old binary that's running.

Similar problems occur if you do in-place upgrades of software using dynamic libraries.

Wouldn't decommissioning solve these problems far better than building more new ships? Strange that is never a solution suggested by the navy.
Low center of gravity is wonderful for following racing lines, drifting, and general handling.

All things busses are not evaluated on.

Darn it; amazing looking technology and then "contact sales". Oh well.
I agree. The signal to noise ratio of these "Rust vs Go" post comments is so bad they border being mostly a pile of anecdotes.

Also not meant to diminish the blogger but if you check their posts, it almost seems they feed on Go flamewar.

I could read every one of the 443 comments and still come out with zero knowledge gained because that's the kind of comment these posts incentivize.

These days remember us that is better to have top class military. I’m sad about it, but this is the reality, I guess.
Is there every a situation where an individual can complain about institutional regression at a large scale without facing this dismissal?

I’m starting to associate this point with people flippantly dismissing a (potentially) reasonable point.

Look, Im familiar with all the aphorisms about ‘kids these days’ and ‘soft men’ and the like. There’s a lot of wisdom in avoiding cynicism, but to avoid all negative observations of this sort is just as naive. Many great states and institutions fizzle out with little fanfare, under mediocre leadership and execution.

It seems sad that in 2022 it still needs explaining what privacy is
and why its a good thing.

I don't wish to knock this great project, but I'm growing weary of
reading what seem to be almost obligatory structures;

1) Initial platitude about how smartphones are ubiquitous,
inevitable, inescapable centres of existence without which humans
would die within seconds.

2) Tragic self-mocking account of how we're all idiots without
self-control who can't work these things, but remain utterly
dependent on technology we have no clue about.

3) Confusing, terrifying litany of all the evil-doers, hackers,
cybercriminals, corporations, agencies, and other bad guys f-king us
over, while trying not to sound paranoid and hopeless.

4) Optional apologetics justifying unconscionable shitshow of (3) on
the basis of convenience and getting stuff for free.

5) (Point at which most normies stop reading) Solution involving
jaibreaking, firmware updates, running a private VPS server,
building your own DNS network and soldering in some new chips using
dangerous solvents, X-Rays and a x100 bench microscope.

6) Shrugging summary about how this "probably isn't for everyone".
And it's not just the first six months. It's something one ought to do all the time, to better serve the people one is there to serve.

Just going to the place where the thing happens and looking at the thing happening to better understand is a hugely undervalued job.

I don't want a detailed digital report of how my child is doing in preschool. If I want more details, I'll take a couple hours of vacation and join them in the preschool, just to observe. I don't need a product manager to tell me how a customer uses a product in detail. If I want to know in detail, I'll visit them and watch.

Instead in the corporate world we have layers of layers of management demanding progress reports and skill assessments and performance rankings and velocity audits and what have you. I'm sure this eats way more time than if they just spent a couple of hours every now and then working with and asking things of the people who do the actual work.
