Funny article to elevate ‘camping’ in particular from Victorian age. I’m from CA and did backpacking with the Boy Scouts and later backpacking with the help of Sunrise Mountaineering of (Fremont,CA -that’s how old I am).

Now I’m in NY and camping in upstate NY— the birth of fly fishing! Who knew.

And the history of fly fishing is a history of NYers who bought land and started fishing clubs, keeping everyone out. Authors Ed Van Put, Austin M. Francis describe this history.

Early fishers were fighting over their spot on the creeks and rivers before the rail road from NYC reached these spots.

So into this history here falls this story. Sounds like vacation industries catering to less wealthy Americans who can’t form their own fishing vacation companies.

USB 3 and previous standards are completely separate connections and software stacks - the USB 1/2 D+/D- pair does not interact at all with SSRX/SSTX. You should be able to literally cut the D+/D- wires in an USB 3 cable and it should still work as a USB 3 cable.

>>a mountain of debt right after graduation

Average debt upon graduation is approx. $31K, less than the cost of a mid-grade car.

I would not call that 'a mountain', and unlike a car which will rapidly depreciate in a very short amount of time, getting a decent college degree will pay dividends throughout your life in increased earnings power.

According to govt estimates, the average lifetime earnings difference between someone with just a high-school diploma, and someone with a college degree is - on average $550,000.

A $550,000 improvement in lifetime earnings in exchange for $31K in debt, seems like one of the best investments you can make.

> Rabbits like carrot leaves, not the part of the carrot we eat.

I took care of a pair of rabbits for a bit as a child. As relatively poor people, I couldn't afford to feed the rabbits actual carrots. I remember feeling amused at how the rabbits would (seemingly gladly) eat the green leaves of carrots (something we threw away) and not complain. I feel better about not being able to feed them actual carrots.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. It is amazing how much we actually remember but never think about...
I read the book as a kid in the 70's, the same decade that all the fun stuff like Mutually Assured Destruction was an ongoing thing. I seem to remember being fairly distressed and mentally exhausted by the end of it. However the upside was becoming aware of how humans were slowly and inexorably ruining our planet.

I've _just_ published this package, so all of this is quite new!

It lets you define mock behaviour for a WebRTC peer in a couple of lines, and then connect to that mock using normal WebRTC APIs so you can write automated tests against reliable fake remote peers, quickly & easily.

It can also proxy WebRTC traffic, basically by creating two connections and passing data & media between them, and then hooking setup methods to automatically redirect your traffic through those. You just set up the hooks on your connection, then you connect to a real remote peer as normal, and everything gets intercepted (and then it can be rewritten, recorded, whatever you like).

At the moment the API is a little small, but all the traffic is intercepted and modifiable now, so extending that to cover whatever behaviours might be interesting should be relatively simple from here on, it's just a question of what to include. I've mostly focused on datachannels since that's more what I'm interested in right now, but ideas for more mock behaviours you'd find useful would be really helpful. Suggestions very welcome!
Well then maybe companies should be paying their workers better such that they don’t have to switch jobs to optimize their careers. There is no point in blaming employees for a lack of loyalty when employees don’t control their incentives. Workers are merely operating in the system the corporations set up.

If loyalty was that valuable, companies should reward that appropriately by paying them at least as much as an equivalent new hire, maybe even more because they’ve been around longer. Or companies can prioritize putting their most long standing employees in leadership positions, valuing the insight and knowledge of company operations. There are a bunch of things that can be done that often aren’t.

It is not noble to intentionally bias yourself toward "proudly dream of genocide" which is exactly what you propose is doing. You do propose to spend a lot of effort to get into the heads of perpetrators ... but there is no equivalent feeling of pressure to get into the head and reality of victims who need help, support and defense right now. There is also difference between explaining and rationalizing and what is proposed here sounds to me closer to "rationalizing" - because you start with assumption that analysis should not end in negative judgement.

The "how it came to be" in real world history tend to be fairly long complicated story. It gets to be explained and revised literally for years after the fact, as important document start surfacing or people who were afraid to talk starts to talk. Typically it starts 20 years ago, when some journalists ended up beaten and arrested and someone's business interests something.

You can in fact study history of holocaust with principled opinion and judgement that Holocaust was bad.

Yes. On a salary of 120k in San Francisco, after taxes and 2500/month in rent, you are left with more than the median developer in Europe makes pre tax and pre rent. Many European cities have costs of living that are comparable - try renting in Dublin, London or Amsterdam.

I'll add one more that IMHO is huge:

Youth culture seems dead.

I remember being a teen and early-20 in the 90s-2000s and there were things like a hippie festival circuit, raves, goth culture, club culture, and so on.

I keep hoping I'm just old and don't see it, but I remember back then it would seep out and get covered by the media and get chatted about on the nascent Internet. I see nothing like it today. Sure there are concerts and IDM shows and the like, but they don't have a mystique. It's just entertainment, not a coming of age subculture. Subculture is dead.

I think this is a factor from personal experience. If I hadn't gotten into the rave/club culture in the late 90s I'd probably be dead from suicide.

These cultures were where kids that did not exactly fit the popular mold would be able to go out, make friends, have experiences, and have a sense of belonging. I still miss it to this day.

Unrelated to your main point, "I'm not really privy to give details.", that's not how you use privy. If you have the details but aren't allowed to share them then you are privy to the details, but you can't share them.

Privy means "sharing in the knowledge of (something secret or private)", but it has nothing to do with sharing that knowledge with others.

As described in the parent article, by far the most important advantage of their technology is that they do not need a traditional expensive process for capturing CO2 from the air, and then releasing it into a concentrated form (which requires much energy), to be used in fuel synthesis.

They just pass the air through water. A part of the CO2 from air will dissolve in water, up to its solubility limit.

The water with dissolved CO2 is then used in their electrolytic cells, which produce ethanol (dissolved in water). Presumably the water depleted in CO2 is reused to dissolve again CO2 from the air. (Some of the initial water is also converted into ethanol, so some fresh water must be added to the recirculated water.)

So they claim that they achieve in a sufficiently cheap way both the capture of CO2 from air and its conversion to fuel.

> For example, in the case at hand, it's just silly to pretend that after 50 years we have finally arrived at a great legal argument against abortions

You’ve got it backwards. States have a general “police power” and have the right to pass laws to regulate the public health unless it infringes on a federal constitutional right. In 50 years there has never been a “great legal argument” where the right to have medical providers perform abortion appears in the Constitution. You’re welcome to look in there yourself and report back.

I use it too, at least once a week if not more, to see what people are talking about, and like ElSinchi wrote, to get a general feeling of what people are talking about.

And like other people here said, I found many interesting comments, links and users through this instead of by going through the front page.

I agree that as a method to follow discussions it's not useful due to the large volume of comments posted, and I don't know if it was intended to be used that way back in the day, but it still has its place, at least for me.

I've been curious about the Dark Crystal - was it particularly groundbreaking when it came out? I watched it after watching the more recent Netflix series and found the story pretty dreary.

> There's also a whole lot more to the UK safety net than Jobseeker's Allowance.

Fine, but given what I pay in income tax and NI (~80K£ last year), I’d expect a lot more than 4-500£ per month plus (maybe?) 500£ of housing benefit and access to a food bank. I would expect at least 2–3-4 times that for at least one or two years, no questions asked. I understand this money may be enough to live in Wales, but I can’t be expected to relocate there because I lost my job.

The point is not whether they could, they absolutely could but whether C++ or Rust would have been a better fit considering the values that these projects have.

Just because you don't care about the downsides does not mean there are no there. First of all, which subset of C++ should be used? It is a huge language that only very few people can claim to master. So lot's of people wouldn't be able to understand or change the code anymore. That is quite the significant downside.

Not to mention all the other downsides mentioned in my other post, like being slower to compile, bigger binary and so on. Yes, those downsides might not matter to you and should not matter for many projects but they do exists.

C programmer often care more about building the best possible software not so much about having the best possible development experience while building.

That said, Rust has much better safety guarantees, so it DOES offer some significant upside that C can't.For more complex software it is is definitely a very good choice.
IIRC the environment variable settings are encrypted in a physically separate database. However it may be a good idea to rotate your secrets anyways.

In the UK, recent tax rises to pay off some of the Covid debt were pretty openly designed to avoid asking older people to contribute. (Roughly, national insurance, paid by workers, went up rather than income tax. Only after opposition in Parliament did they extend it to include over 65s who still work).

Young people are definitely extremely aware that they sacrificed a lot over the last two years to protect the elderly and now the elderly are not being asked to contribute back.

This is before you consider climate change, about which young people are generally much more informed and concerned.

Boomers don’t care because it won’t affect them. I know that sounds hyperbolic but I genuinely think it’s true. Those who are aware of the problems focus on helping their immediate descendants.
