> self-service is objectively worse than having the shopkeeper grab everything you want.

This makes some assumptions.

Off the top of my head:

1) The shopkeeper is always available to grab your purchases without a wait.
2) You already know exactly which products you want, and/or there aren't different versions of products to select between.
3) The shopkeeper is trustworthy enough to get you the actual products you want.
4) You aren't a person that the shopkeeper is going to discriminate against.

There are lots of good reasons to want to pick out your own groceries.

It would be great for mental health and the users and bad for the bottom line and the fake reality that makes all their profits; so no they won’t do it.
I'm sure you serve them well with Elixir. All these technologies are good enough. You wouldn't be able to build stuff for them in PHP/Ruby/Java? You would, but you prefer Elixir because you think it's superior and thats fine. But even if its superior you have to agree equivalent stuff is being built in 15 other stacks.
Technology choice is a bit overrated imo.
1. It's may be an oxymoron but also there is no such thing as any other form of certainty.

2. Yes, this is why we have RCTs.
Consider the peak power of the panel vs the maximum power of the microinverter... My very small p.v. if converted to microinverters from string inverters would be FAR LESS productive due to the maximum power limit of the microinverters, surely they allow "free" panels, mixed with any orientations, many different numbers, even different kind of panels, but they cut much the output to a point they are IMVHO interested only if you can't make chains due do shadows / physical location issues...
Cool so I just improve my images outside the app using a different app as a workaround.
Ah, I get why you were emphasizing circularity now. Good point.

I guess phones do have the benefit of non-contiguous mechanism requirements, in that you could through bolt the lid into the case if you designed boards and components around the posts.
Please bargains themselves aren't terrible. They're only bad because the trial wait times and bail conditions are so bad that innocent people are accepting a plea bargains. If the rest of the system was fair, like with reasonable bond and not waiting years for a trial, then it could still be a valid tool. I won't hold my breath though.
I installed a whole house fan in my previous place. Automatic louvers in the attic and a massive blower that I could open downstairs windows, turn the fan on and it would pull air in from the windows, push it into the attic, and out the louvers.

Not only did it quickly replace the indoor air with cooler outside air, it would also ventilate the attic, preventing it from quickly reheating the upstairs. I could run it for 5 minutes and get the desired effect, maybe 10 minutes in an unusually hot spell.
I think the feelings music can evoke in a listener (real, physical feelings) have a range and grammar that is not quite encapsulated by "Frisson" - though it's definitely a good word for the phenomenon as a whole.

For example: I could listen to Kenny Kirkland's piano solo on Sting's Bring on the Night live album - and when Kenny (utter jazz genius that he was) starts playing around with semi-discordant alterations to the normal song progression, I will get a powerful skin crawling sensation and involuntary muscle contractions (a bit like being tickled). A real physical response to an apparently unrelated sensory input.

Whereas, if I listen to certain tracks by the Verve, it will affect me in completely different ways - equally powerful, but different.

It really is fascinating - like a separate language that can communicate with our subconscious. Perhaps it is largely different for different people though - I wonder if the music that affects a person most strongly would correlate with any other aspect of their personality, of mental outlook.
You've been reading too many pearl-clutching articles. There's quite a bit that Crowley wrote that was clearly just to separate people who would believe whatever they were told or read from critical thinkers who could be expected to handle some light decision-making. It's also clear he really enjoyed the sensationalism of it, so from his standpoint writing something that contained a paragraph you weren't meant to believe and then five paragraphs explaining how much of an idiot you'd have to be to believe it just to watch the dullards run in circles was a jolly afternoon's work.

>overheating rivers

Is this really what German press is reporting? What a gross lie. The "overheating" is neither due to the reactor (simply it getting hot naturally) nor actively threatening to the reactor: they are just stopped to avoid making the situation slightly worse. Temperature difference at the output of a nuclear plant is barely a degree.

They were not coerced into dying. I prefer fewer people dying personally, your mileage might vary.

All I can say is I am glad that the actual people making decisions seem to also prefer fewer people dying over non-coercion.
It’s pretty fast. Likely reason for that, MS designed both language and runtime this way since version 1.0. They needed that for their Windows Forms which consumes huge chunk of WinAPI.

> If you have a minimal amount of care for what you and your family eat, you will be buying every other day anyway.

That's untrue. Produce, especially if bought fresh, keeps for longer than 2 days in the fridge.

Mistakes Founders Make in a Downturn
Completely agree, there's a strong cultural part in the confidence of the incompetent and it's especially one that I've noticed with Americans and their obsession with self-esteem regardless if it's based on competence.

In many parts of the world it's much more frowned upon for the less experienced to voice their opinion, and that forces them to really think if they want to say what they're thinking. It correlates a lot with respect to authority, and comes with the downside of missing out on the originality of youth at times.

Personally, I'd prefer a middle-ground, but one where experience and competence are weighed into considering any opinion.
And what about when you're buying a 28-lb box of kitty litter, or a 30-lb bag of kibble?

I don't see your argument at all. I see this as a powerful reason why even seemingly small changes in temperature can have a huge impact on human life. If this was the literal only issue, that could be an argument. But it's not. It's one of many.

My hope is that people will read this and say "it's not just the animals, the plants, crops, drought, it's people directly affected too". Although I apparently overlooked the "fuck the environment, fuck the poor, get AC" argument.
This is why I started using instacart. I'd go to the grocery store a couple times a week for a handful of items, but would have to wait in line for 20 minutes while people checked out a mountain of stuff.

> I love and hate unit testing. It's a fantastic idea that I've never seen successfully implemented in practice, mostly because the tests invariably fall by the wayside. At the very least, it's a burden to support them.

Are you using object-oriented programming or a more functional style? Without classes, unit tests become a lot more readable and manageable.

It's human nature to create and participate in systems that are untenable over time but are tempting for short-term speculation.

Normally, in advanced economies, we try to use regulation to prevent or limit these events. But crypto explicitly avoids regulation, so of course it's going to pop up there. It's got nothing to do with not cleaning up after 2008.

Cryptocurrency is a new asset class, of course it's going to go through some of the painful learning experiences that traditional finance has. I've been saying since 2013 that we're going to see the exact mistakes of finance repeated with cryptocurrency.

It's probably that it doesn't affect most people personally so they don't care, or they have bigger priorities. The legislators don't see it as a big enough issue to act on since it won't win many political points for them.
"You dont think its reasonable to offer passengers the option to wear a helmet?"

No. Which means it's not automatically "the reasonable thing", just an opinion.
> Wouldn't the same apply to mask wearing?

No, for a ton of reasons. Off the top of my head:

(1) Masks are more effective at preventing transmission than reception.

(2) Different individuals have different levels of concern, which might lead one to choose a mask and another to choose not to wear one.

(3) Different individuals face different levels of risk. The person who is immunocompromised may wear a mask even when it would make no sense for other people.

(4) The customer may encounter 2-3 service employees in a day; the service employee may encounter hundreds of customers in the same time.

And that's without even getting into political issues (in the US, where mask-wearing has become politicized).

> Is it really so much work to call your school, ask for a copy, and send it along

Depending on the country of residence, it really can be a lot of work. For example, I live in one such country where frequent demands for arcane documents coexist with high levels of negligence and shoddiness in preparing those documents. A document of a local routine event that happened 25 years ago can be very difficult to obtain here.

I hope most recruiters who are ready to recruit across borders are not making reductionist assumptions about other bureaucracies.
It also depends on where you live. For me going to the supermarket means walking 60 meters to the next one across the street. Except for when I lived on the countryside I never lived anywhere where going to the supermarket by car would have been faster than just walking there.

Now if you walk there, all the stuff that you can buy is the stuff that you can carry. What I can carry is less than fits into a shopping cart, so I tend not to use a shopping cart, because I can feel on my shoulder what I am willing to carry home. If I'd take the car I'd have to find a parking lot when returning – and dependend on which one I find I might have to carry stuff anyways.

I guess european cities are very different to US cities in that regard.

>They were not coerced into dying

Despite this bare denial, I believe "coerced into dying" to be an accurate description of someone coerced into not wearing a helmet dying of head injuries from an unavoidable accident

sorry, that's not a coercion I'm willing to make. First, do no harm. Come back when you've tried safer ways to reduce risky behavior.
Car crash coverage: Why the media keeps botching it
Relying on the honor system may be less effective, but I prefer it anyway because it feels a whole lot less demeaning. No quarter is essentially the store saying 'We trust you to do the right thing' whereas the quarter says 'betcha we can make you behave with a quarter'

Also, stray shopping carts left in the lot really doesn't seem like a big problem worth solving to me. The lots all have cart returns scattered throughout them, so you're never very far from one, and the vast majority of people use them.
Well, the time and inconvenience to plan for two weeks easily surpasses two hours for me.
And having to take the car. Sure, I'd pick a cheaper place with greater options when I go big but that is also a very small price to pay for the convenience.

No, it takes less than a minute extra walk from my daily commute (walking), the rest of the nine minutes are to compensate for traversing the grocery store multiple times and wait in line at checkout.

If I expand it by another ~4 minutes I have other options as well.

If time was of extreme mindless essence I'd also take the bike.
Yeah, but they don't keep for 2 weeks, which is how often suburbanites shop in the US.
To give some sense of scale, think about the portable atomic pile in the book Martian. It produces 2 kW for 20 years. Only problem is some radiation, so the hero does not like it very much, but needs a heater in his Martian car.

Compare this tiny keg with your 50 ton tower and windmills and solar panels to feed it. Not that difficult, unless one has somekind of religious objections.

But alas then you can also buy the "Atomfilter", popular in Deutschland for example, which removes harmful atoms from your electricity.

"Nay," responded the Khan, "to crush your enemies,

Ask HN: Why some devs dislike Hasura like services?
As I read, some devs dislike Hasura like services which converts GQL queries/mutations to SQL, DB Schema to GraphQL Schema.

They say that this tightly couple data and business layer, but if you need some CRUD service using service like Hasura save you lot of time. And I do not think those services tightly couple business and data layers, since you can write decoupled business logic when necessary.

If you look at this talk[0] by Postgraphile maintainer, these kinds of services come with other benefits.
> The fact that they're subsidizing the tool kits (the $1200 deposit they take is nowhere near the value of all that equipment)

That's not a subsidy - in the normal course of business the deposit is returned and no money changes hands.

The deposit is just an insentive to return the goods, it can cover 30% or 300% of the value. The tools might not be returned, and that probably is a crime, but that's not a subsidy.
What I get from the comments so far: the pay is too low and construction wrecks your body. This implies that our towns and cities are built on the wrecked bodies of the underpaid folks who build them. It's not a pleasant thought. Does it have to be this way?

Christopher Alexander meant for his Pattern Language to be used in situ by the people who were going to be using or living in the buildings, not just to design the buildings but also to construct them themselves. He was experimenting with a kind of foam concrete that is easy to work. I don't want to go off on it here but check out e.g. https://www.domegaia.com/ for DIY "aircrete" dome homes, equipment, and classes. "Aircrete" is fireproof (you can make a fireplace out of it) and waterproof (you can build boats out of it) it's durable yet it can be cut with a hand saw and you can use nails with it. There are companies that make and build with aircrete blocks like LEGO bricks.

Bucky Fuller wanted to build high-tech houses in factories, deliver them by helicopter to prepared sites that had a mast or pole. The houses would be lowered onto the masts, tied down, hooked up to utilities, and you're done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_house

We've got kit homes and pre-fab construction now. There's a 22-unit housing complex at 2711 Shattuck in Berkeley that was built in four days. https://sf.curbed.com/2018/8/6/17656118/fast-apartment-resid...

Interestingly, "... the cost of trucking [the modules] to Berkeley from the port of Oakland was more expensive than the cost of shipping from Hong Kong." https://www.berkeleyside.org/2018/08/02/prefab-housing-compl...

I think there's a lot of potential for simpler, more high-tech building systems.
