No. It's nothing of the kind.

At best, it's racists projecting their discomfort onto other people, making others responsible for their own guilt. But more likely, it's sadistic bullies. A sadistic bully cannot say "Destroying a life gets me excited!" but they can say "I fight for social justice!"
Can you elaborate on this at all? Maybe list some of the things that scared you away, and/or drove you mad?
That was an interesting comment in itself, thanks for the insight!
I've had a series of Canon powershot cameras that have all used more-or-less the same Li-ion cell design[1] and I've been able to swap batteries with them. They're big enough that third parties have even offered replacement batteries.

There is probably room for standardization of a compact, rectangular, rechargeable battery of roughly those dimensions. Is someone pushing for it?

Some people just forgot why the MVC and these tools are invented at first place.

They complains the framework you use isn't shiny enough. While in practice, things they write using these shiny frameworks performs outright painfully.

It's really a weird trend that everyone just run for the newest thing and forgot why these are invented for at first place.
Get Internet
I'm happy for you that you've been lucky so far in your relationship with YouTube. It does not invalidate my experience of the relationship.

I've chosen to spend the equivalent money (and more) more directly in Patreon and Bandcamp relationships with the creators I follow. I know a much bigger chunk of that money makes it to creators, and I have a good idea directly how much creator sees per dollar I spend, not just some assuaging stats from some Google algorithm that it is supposed to go to creators. (Getting back to: this relationship I have with Google/YouTube has trust issues, and that's also something that I have difficulty trusting, that Premium actually gives more money to creators.)

which used to store a huge amount of nuclear weapons. It was closed in the late 1990s and one Saturday morning I saw a huge convoy of military vehicles roll through Ithaca that was leaving the base. I have no idea if the nuclear weapons were there or if they were just driving the rest of their stuff someplace else.
That argument seems flawed to me. The government already does have the power to tax, and could arbitrarily take away all your assets, but in developed nations, it doesn't.

88 pages from 2021 involving Wilfred Laurier social sciences?

You know what's more interesting, in the months since this study it has become much more clear what's really going down.

NYTimes realized their echo chamber and practically ordered their journalists to exit their echo chambers. Which upon doing so they somewhat returned to better journalistic standards, NYTimes suddenly showed some excellent legitimacy.

CNN is basically in complete collapse because they were too late. Can't see how they recover without some absolute hail mary.

Rachel Maddow had a bit of a sabbatical and then got rebranded and is on air far less. MSNBC ratings not looking so hot lately.

Meanwhile Fox is in dominant #1 position. There's objective measurements that the democrats moved far left creating the polarization. You have star trek discovery a ultra top secret missions best of the best crew... but every character is LGBT. Wtf are they trying to say? Even Trek fell into this same trap as those above.

Has anyone checked out Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode 1 where they literally say second US civil war. The story was intentionally weak as hell to ensure everyone who watches it sees they are talking about the USA. The importance of getting those 2 parties talking together again. That working together for a better future is really the only way.

Even Trek suddenly realized their own mistake. It makes for such an amazing first episode.
If you get some type of streaming box with an open version of Android TV you can just run Newpipe on the box. The most capable one is the Nvidia shield but for just running a YouTube client there are probably cheaper ones you can get off Alibaba or similar.
From the article:

>"Military analysts had previously assumed that slow, low-flying drones would be of little use in conventional combat, but the TB2 can take out the anti-aircraft systems that are designed to destroy it."
One thing that can and must be fixed instantly is to legislate that these businesses can not deny their services to anyone, just like systemic banks and the post office.
This seems superficially reasonable, but it looks like the TB2 Bayraktar was used to bomb the fuel depot in Bryansk less than two weeks ago and that's 150km into Russia. They seemed to have used the TB2 the other day on Snake Island. As of a week ago there had been 6 internationally confirmed incidents where a Tb2 was shot down. They were known to have had at least 20 when the war started and have received more sense. So it doesn't seem like they've disappeared at all. So one can only assume that either Russia's air defense isn't as good as everyone thought, they aren't using it effectively, or the drone is harder to shoot down as operated than people thought.
> Compare it to Linux UIs where you often have to grab a single pixel border on a 4k monitor to resize a window.

On Linux you hold the super/windows key and click/drag anywhere on the window to move it, or right-click/drag anywhere on the window to resize it. It's much easier than using thick borders. Discoverability is admittedly not great, but this feature easily coexists with window borders. Microsoft could keep the thick borders by default and also implement this.

I've seen a ton of fonts out there abuse ligatures (Chartwell, Bullshit Sans). I wonder if something like that could be done for pseudorandomness... use a different texture depending on the text on either side.
Apple Airpods Max: My biggest complaint about these is that they don't have a proper power switch that absolutely cuts the power. This is especially awful since the case they ship with is awful and I don't want to use (but it, or some other magnetic solution is required to put them in low power mode. I don't want low power mode, I want no power mode. Just put a damn switch on them!
>> Around 60% of Oosterwold is set aside to support "urban agriculture", cutting the climate-change impact of food miles

I don't see how this helps. An urban farm is not nearly as efficient as a true industrial farm. They don't have the economies of scale. They are limited as to chemical use (both pesticides and fertilizer) and have to deal with noise complaints. Urban farms are also, nearly universally, fed by potable water sources which can never scale to appreciable food production (acre-feet rather than liters). If we actually want to produce food near consumers, urban farms are not the way. It only works using enclosed buildings, ugly industrial greenhouses, not pretty little fields between condos.
Why is farming an improper use of water? I mean nations need to grow food and not rely on other countries as their bread basket, that seems like good systems planning. As for the types of food I suppose that is a good discussion to have but how do you deal with the reality that beef is an enormous use of water over nearly every single crop?
Ransomware won't affect legislation until really influential players get hacked ruthlessly. And even then they'd pay to ensure others don't know they've been hacked.

The "we need more victims to change everyone's minds" is a strawman.
One of the most annoying on-off interfaces I deal with for an electronic device is my insulin pump. When one intentionally turns off delivery or it runs out of insulin, it beeps loudly every few minutes. To turn it off, it has to be plugged in, and then the shallow, stiff button on the top held for 20-30 seconds. Turning it on is easier, but opaque - connecting it to power starts it up after a few seconds.

I understand why a crucial medical device doesn't have an off switch that could be engaged accidentally, but I don't understand why they tie the function to being connected to a power source.
Sometimes they're not entirely wrong though. The E46 design is now decently well-regarded by many car enthusiasts. Granted, I'm probably not the best person to ask about BMW aesthetics since I think the best looking one they've made is the clownshoe and thought the hood bulge was exceptionally lazy.
Just plug it in to a power strip that has a switch.
There’s no JavaScript unless you write it into the template. If you want to use LiveView that needs JavaScript but plain old templates do not.

As for bloat I don’t really agree but I can see how it might appear that way. Phoenix is actually not monolithic, it is sort of just a set of conventions and macros (batteries) that make using Plug and Ecto and some other libraries together more cohesive and more like programming in Rails. If you don’t like that approach you can also just use Plug and Plug.Router directly, which is more of a microframework feel like Flask or Sinatra.
> We decided to keep the uppercase menus because we want more energy in this part of the interface.

Translation: Here is vague explanation that distracts from the fact that I made this choice emotionally rather than rationally.

I see this time and time again. People are simply reacting emotionally. If they try to explain why they behaved a certain way, they offer an explanation with something that sounds rational but isn't actually the reason.

In this case, the designer probably was hurt that people didn't like their work and stubbornly resisted it.

I entirely agree with you on the damage done by lockdown-imposed remote learning for kids. I don't believe we're at a place technologically where telecommunication can fully substitute for in-person learning. If left to our own devices, people would not have chosen to switch their children, en masse, from in-person learning to remote learning, for precisely this reason.

But as technology advances, I believe more activity will voluntarily migrate to electronically mediated, as this mode of interaction becomes more effective. This is especially the case if the law and institutions are adapted to make this mode of living more possible. People should have a choice to switch to this mode of living if they perceive it as advantageous. That is all I'm arguing for.

If my predictions of a mass-transition to an 'always traveling' mode of life don't pan out, then that means the technological evolution I predicted didn't emerge, and no one was harmed because they were able to discern that this mode of life was not advantageous, and avoid switching to it. So I don't see the harm in providing that option, just in case my predictions do pan out, and being able to switch to having a dynamic physical address turns out to be better for most people.
Exactly. Rocket companies are always defense companies.
The author appears to be claiming that they're running gigantic trains because the investors think owning a gigantic train makes them manlier, even though the derailment makes them less profitable.

I think some businesses out there do a lot of things because it personally entertains the men who own them, but not sure about freight trains.
If you place things in the right service, the need for service-to-service communication is low. I know companies that straight out banned it. If you treat each service as a database table. Sure, you will be in for a ride. If you then are lenient about breaking changes, then you will have real problems. But microservices is a service architecture. Each service is almost a product. Each service covers an entire problem. Parts of that problem is not in another service. A service is not a task.
You are essentially saying that if only we voted less frequently, we'd somehow have more democracy and less corruption.

This would increase the influence of the two major parties even more (candidacies would be more rare, after all, so even more is at stake for each election). Why would extending a term suddenly make a politician less concerned about their own power and wealth and suddenly start actually doing things for their _constituents_?

I think the root of the problem is that somehow we ended up with a congress full of people whose last thought is for their actual constituents. There are a lot of insightful observations on how this came to be, but none of them point to term limits or length of terms as being the cause.

My car's entertainment system is stuck in a crash loop 24/7. It is slowly draining the battery, to the point where I worry my car won't start if it has been off for more than a week or two.

And I don't agree that "consumers have spoken". Consumers don't design cars; their feedback loop is long, lossy, and easily ignored. Profitability drives car design, not what consumers want.
That's the operational problem. However, I'm more amused at how similar this is to fashions clothes fashions. Those usually change often for frivolous reasons or plain boredom. This feels quite similar.

So, so glad to see this shared here. I've had many friends ask if they should get an MBA and I almost always say no, and give them a reading/activities list instead, which ALWAYS includes the Beer Game. For better or worse it was one of the most illuminating parts of b-school and it's still woefully under-studied and under-practiced today. ESPECIALLY today, with all of the supply bullwhipping going on.
From an ops point of view, the unforeseen technical difficulties in dealing with this problem are pretty stunning. eg, there is "plenty" of water in a bunch of upstream reservoirs which can't be released - either because it's in the dead pool, or because dropping the levels causes other problems.

The Navajo reservoir has 800,000 acre-feet of water which can't be released due to the high placement of an intake pipe. If that intake is exposed, water to several small cities and part of the Navajo reservation (unfulfilled decades-long promise, still in-process) ceases to flow.

Apparently it's a design flaw made in the name of cost-savings.

The lamination keeps the whole thing from coming apart but the actual glass just breaks up into a bajillion little pieces making wearing eye protection a necessity.

It doesn’t all turn into powder though, think it has to do with the velocity of the penetrating object. A piece of shrapnel moving fast enough to put a nice mark in a Kevlar helmet leaves a little hole while a rock thrown into it makes it a big floppy mess. The pipe was kind of in the middle but I think that’s because it bounced off one of the ballistic plates I had on the dashboard instead of going straight through.

Before they put metal mesh screens over the windshield we were going through a lot of them so I’m pretty familiar with how euro-glass reacts to traumatic impacts.
Any industry which has clients that pay for a service, I guess.
For those that have integrated something like htmx/server side rendered HTML over an API into existing JSON-oriented APIs - what's the cleanest way you've found to have both formats exist together? Not that every existing API call would need to include an HTML output, but for many projects I could see there being many endpoints that would also make sense to output HTML and wouldn't deserve an entirely different API.

My first thought was to add a format/output parameter to specify the format. In that case of HTML output, you could possibly use the JSON that would normally be rendered and insert it into a jinj2 template for example.

How old are your toilets? Old toilets could use as much as 7 gallons per flush 30+ years ago. Modern toilets use 1.6 gpf or less. Swapping out a 3gpf toilet that came with the house for a modern one made a helluva difference in my usage.

> Shipping the Nest thermostat with a screwdriver "turned a moment of frustration into a moment of delight"

I must be in the minority then. I end up with a ton of these product-specific screwdrivers and get a little frustrated that I have to throw it away, contributing ever-so-slightly to the pile of consumer waste.

It'd be cool if you could select a "need tools" option sort of like how take out now has a "need utensils" option.

Yep. All other discussions are fiddling around the edges while you still have farmers casually spraying water in the hot air as it is cheaper than pipes.
I've never been there and was just making a quick assessment by Google Maps. It is nice that you can bike anywhere, but I'm mostly seeing residential neighborhoods (~10 blocks wide of identical row homes) pretty spaced out around a town center without amenities in their area.

So in terms of meeting someone for a coffee/meal/beer/event it looks like you'll have to hop on a bicycle unless you want to go on a 20-30 minute walk past monotonous homes. Which is not that different than suburbs anywhere else.
That’s my wife’s argument. But I don’t believe it has any effect at all.
Monarchies got their wealth "fair and square" within the systems of rules that we were all subject to at the time. We eventually decided that the system of rules themselves were not "fair and square" and changed them, often quite bloodily.

In a system where money affords power if we accept that power should be distributed at least somewhat evenly then there must be an upper bound placed on wealth. Otherwise we end up in the situation we have right now, where policy is merely a commodity that is bought and sold by those who can afford it.
The real solution to the water crisis is to start by admitting that water is a scarce resource in the region that needs to be rationed somehow and then start working on an equitable plan for rationing.

While water is necessary for life, a lot of the water usage in a suburban lifestyle is just plain wasted. To give an idea, when I worked at a water treatment plant, I got to see just how different the water consumption rates were between winter and summer--winter water usage was roughly half that of summer.

So a simple starting point for water rationing is... ban lawns and watering lawns (if you don't like such bans, then I'd alternatively suggest changing water rates so that it's cost-exorbitant to water a lawn). If you want to live in a desert, you need to landscape your house appropriately for living in a desert.

The next contentious point will be a readjustment of the water rates for agricultural perspectives. The simple truth of the matter is that residential water usage--especially if you remove lawn care from the equation--is highly recoverable as drinkable water, since almost all of that water goes back down the sewer pipes. Agricultural water usage is generally far less recoverable, especially if you're growing plants for export whose mass is mostly water (which means you are rather literally exporting water).
After reading the comments in the previous thread, I thought about what has changed in the two years since. My impression is that kind of escalating purity ratchet peaked in the fall and early part of this year, or at least it hit a ratchet point where the next lift is going to be exponentially harder than the previous ones because there is real popular reaction and revolt against it.

Personally I have become much less agreeable, and as a result, people in my own networks who might have participated in the ratcheting don't do it when I am around, because the purity ratcheting was essentially a way to abuse and exploit peoples agreeableness. Given it was such a tiny minority to begin with, if only a small fraction of the majority become disagreeable, it can halt the spiral of hysteria it requires.

What I/many can articulate more simply now that we didn't have the words for then is that this is a very old redemption hustle, and they're offering a kind of redemption I don't need. Just because someone is uncharitable doesn't mean I have to mollify them, and demanding a denial or denunciation from me is just their way of making a conversation about themselves. It's a disease of politeness, and the reason we got here is because we forgot sometimes in this world it is appropriate and necessary to say, please, fuck off, because we are being taken advantage of by people betting very heavily that we won't.
Enforcing US immigration laws and securing the Southern Border should be pursued from an environmental sustainability angle, at least. Seal the border properly and that's 2million people each year we don't have to feed, house, or water.

Deport the 10-20 million already inside the USA and that's an even greater improvement.
