I used YouTube's "Not Interested" button to filter out political content at the end of 2020 so I haven't noticed that.

But I have noticed over the last week, more 'contrarian' content. I watched a few videos on Elden Ring builds and I kept seeing videos like "The BIGGEST Problem With Elden Ring" or "5 Reasons Why Elden Ring is BROKEN". I saw a few videos on configuring pfSense for my home lab and I started getting videos like "Is pfSense Any Good In 2022" or "Still Using pfSense? Use THIS Instead!"

I know these sound like regular Youtube-y, clickbait-y titles, but just a week or two ago it wasn't this bad.

If you want to complain about something fixable, how about you focus on the fact that the checks and balances in his country's federal government no longer exist and call for congressional term limits? That'd be a start to straightening out this nation's problems rather than pretending everything is fine and quibbling about guns (which have existed in this country in larger numbers than people since its founding)?
> Conventional vs organic is not clear cut.

Certainly agreed. Note that the guidelines I linked above do permit certain synthetic pesticides, despite their somewhat confusing use of the word "conventional" in the text that I quoted. For example, cyflumetofen is synthetic, and it's in their lowest-risk category. Copper hydroxide products are permitted under OMRI organic guidelines, but forbidden or restricted here.

I generally like the idea of more restrictive voluntary guidelines based only on safety to the ecosystem and consumer, and not on naturalness like for "organic". I haven't seen much commercial uptake, though.

>Eccl. 9:11-12 perspective

I spazzed a bit deciding which free online bible was trustworthy (if you have an opinion I'd be open to suggestions), but it's been interesting looking up multiple interpretations of the same cite.

(Though not being able to read Latin nor Hebrew will mean I'm always at a disadvantage in matters like these.)

Thanks for the reference, I'm jumping between that and sorting some architecture photos.

>Maybe others' perspectives are more like noise, which is fine and sometimes good to know about.

I'd hesitate to say noise, more like the number of possible opinions is smaller than the number of people who hear me, and then I feel like a jerk I can't listen to all the replies in detail and/or pretend they're all things I've never heard. But not noise. Noise is... such a mean way to describe sounds someone put thought into :-(

I'm not sure if anyone is truly behind it. Systemd is open source.

The problem with FOSS is people make stuff they want, then they share it. Others only complain if it affects them.

And if you have no interest in alternate init systems, then compatibility with anything else sometimes just means stretching your team thinner.

From my perspective, and I'm sure some others, the hijacking is a benefit, it standardizes all the systems. If you're a corporate IT person, or a home user who wants to not have to think about their OS, this is great. It means you won't run into incompatible stuff, there's one standard "Linux platform".

Systemd isn't a DRM, it doesn't cost subscription fees, so I don't see why you would push the technology other than really believing that it is best for your dev team and your users.

From the point of view of the companies doing this stuff, Gentoo and Void and Devuan don't exist. They are like forks of the entire Linux platform.

There may be a bit of corporate competition happening, I'm sure Canonical doesn't want too much variety, but it's hard to separate it from the real benefits it has for non-hobbyist users to have less fragmentation.

There may be some dirty political stuff happening to push it with dependencies, but most of the community seems to be behind it.

Perhaps this should be seen as a tyranny of the masses kind of situation, and the better question is what obligations do the rest of us have for the other systems we will likely never use.

It does seem like there is some minimal level of effort that should be made, in the name of inclusiveness, and compatibility with some possible future QuantumHyperSystemD thing, at least to ask yourself and sure that it's all good faith and you aren't actively sabotaging anything.

But beyond that, unless you're being paid, not many are going to support a system that isn't relevant to them.

The very best companies I've worked at were mostly apolitical. Everybody recognized and respected that politics and religion did not belong in the workplace. (You could be as passionate as you wanted outside the workplace. Once at work, professionalism ruled the day.)

In these environments, it seemed everybody was respected. The most diverse company will be the one that has the greatest variety of employees, including diversity of religion, politics, skin color, sexuality, etc.

To find the company with positive social impact, find one that walks the walk, not just talks the talk.

It’s only a little subjective.

Getting a job at RenTech is easier than winning the Nobel or Turing, but harder than getting a job anywhere else.

Getting a job at hardass backend FAANG is easier than getting a job at RenTech, maybe about as hard as getting into an Ivy with undistinguished parents.

Hitting that top 1-3% performer at FAANG is harder than completing a PhD at Stanford or Cal, but easier than selling a YC startup for 500MM+.

People want it to be subjective so that 0,0 can be in sight of wherever they are, but I know damned well that I’d flunk a RenTech interview, and even more so that I’ll never win the Turing.
Thanks! And yeah, I mean it’s a balance - to be honest my wife is very supportive of the whole thing and gives me time to write each week so that’s another big part of it.

My parents converted a Civic(?) to electric in the late 80s and the idea has always been in the back of my mind. But the main difference would be the f250 could carry much more battery weight!

Moreover the wall adapter seems slick but I’m curious how many homes are even capable of handling that dc input, but I’m not much of electrician.
Regardless seems like the grid may be making a pivot towards more DC capabilities in the future

In terms of marketing, it sounds so simple but it’s the first I’ve actually done this process:

Announce it, ask for email sign ups if they are interested, keep them in the loop, and then launch. The mailing list had about 1,000 people on it once I launched (about two months from announcing it to doing the early access launch).

> greatest one time ... expense

That's the problem with house prices, regardless of whether or not you think they should be included in CPI, being that the average person is likely to only buy one or two in their life, leaving very little data about how their perception has changed over time. The best reason for choosing a measure of consumables is that they are purchased frequently by most people, providing information about how perceptions are changing on a regular basis.

> has the greatest impact on their perception of how expensive things are.

That would be more significant if we were talking about cost of living, but since we're talking about inflation, the actual goods selected in the basket don't matter all that much. The basket just has to be large enough to filter out the noise of individual products that have increased in value at a rate faster than the currency (or vice versa). And as it pertains to Canada, housing has appeared to be especially noisy of late, making it a poor choice for tracking inflation even ignoring all of the other problems with it.
Definitely! I’ve thought of so many different ways you could slice it too - I’d love to do a web site companion where you could bookmark stuff, links to Xcode Playgrounds files and other similar things.
Coming up with ideas is only a small part of progress, we also need many more people who will use the results of these ideas, converting them to widespread technologies, instead of leaving them as weird useless curiosities the way it have happened with most of discoveries in ancient world.

If our population was halved, the cost of developing new cpu, new software or a new technology would stay the same, but the benefit would be halved, and therefore less of these things would be developed.
I just wish that Rocket.Chat were actually fully open source, instead of open core that hides features like SSO, read receipts, and canned responses in closed-source modules.
I think a contributing factor for organic chemistry is not everyone teaches the mindset needed to do well. Good teachers will help students explicitly build a heuristic mental model for what the electrons might do in a particular bonding environment. Not everyone thinks naturally that way, but I think it’s a lot more effective than the raw pattern matching approach many people seem to bring to organic chemistry

To any NIDS newbies out there... Please don't deploy this in-line. Ever. You should always have your IDS out-of-band. Software like Snort is great for detecting threats, but if you block every "threat" you're going to have a bad time. Not to disparage the quality of their rulesets, they are very high quality, but there absolutely will be false positives. I've spent many evenings and weekends troubleshooting IPS problems, 0/10 cannot recommend.

The best option is to mirror all traffic from switches directly to capture boxes where the detection and logging happens. This should be sent to a central system that has a full picture of the network and traffic patterns. That central system should be the one making the decisions, and it should be very smart. Automatic firewall rules should be close to the source, and shutdown switchports should be close to the client.

For safe IPS operation there needs to be several layers of filters, not just a list of "allowed rule IDs". This is the sort of project that takes at least a year to fully roll out - it's not the kind of thing a "security whiz" can set up in an afternoon.

At best, it can be a very useful diagnostic, logging, and threat detection tool. At worst, it can cause very difficult to predict and troubleshoot network problems.
> you are looking at an instance where an autonomous vehicle failed to make a reasonable decision that a human would right in this article.

And remote assistance/teleoperation was reacting at the same time, for the vehicle.

Humans will screw up similar cases: end up in the emergency vehicle's way and panic and do the wrong thing. In fact, I saw a fire truck impeded Wednesday because of some judgment mistakes by a human driver that an AV would be unlikely to make.

So, frequency of "doing the wrong thing", and severity (here, probably measured in seconds) are completely reasonable questions to ask-- even if the circumstances where each tends to mess up are different. I don't think it's reasonable to ask that the autonomous vehicle be superior than a typical human in every axis of performance, just overall superior.
I've been in software development for just over 25 years. "Scrum" didn't start becoming a major thing until 2010-ish. Since that time, I could count the number of useful "retros" on one hand. It is almost always a waste of time.

Yes - it’s absolutely true that an existing audience is super helpful. No doubt about it. But I also like to tell people, it takes a long to get there too. But hey, there is never a perfect time to launch - so if someone is reading this and wanting to take a crack at it, I’d definitely encourage that!
The only process/structure you need for any size software project is a prioritised task list + no interruption of tasks already started. That’s it.
This only occurs because the host knows the locations of the contents and cannot reveal the player's door and neither which has the car. So the other that he leaves closed is always the best possible one that could be found among the rest, because if any of them has the prize, that is precisely which he will avoid to discard.

If you notice, the switching door is equivalent to the selection that a second player that was cheating would make, a cheater that checked inside all the doors that the first did not pick, and took which preferred from them. In this way, it is obvious that the second player will win as long as the first starts failing, which occurs 99 out of 100 times in the 100-doors version. And the revealed doors are like which neither of them picked.

So, when there are two doors remaining, you know that one is the first player's selection and the other is the cheater's selection, where the cheater was more likely to get the correct.
What's more important is that it sets a ceiling for scalpers profit.

This is lower than the XBox+bundle price, even if you wouldn't buy the subscription, because you do get the subscription, no one will pay the same price for just the XBox, my guess would be a small market for half the subscription price, which is barely worth scalping over.
> I believe that stems from the fact that agile methods became too "productized"

While I agree that that’s an issue, I would argue that it stems from the fact that dynamic ideas are opposed to pragmatic ones (at least in the minds of pragmatists).

Inevitably in companies there are voices that say “we should mitigate risk”, “let’s do what worked before”, and other things that boil down to “don’t change things because I’m not good with change”.

It’s those types of people who productize everything that gains momentum as it’s a cycle of “This new thing is a threat”, “They tried it and it worked, I better change my tone or I’ll be ostracized”, “How can this be made rigid and safe?” “Oh excellent, there’s a certification program now: time to crack down now that I have a whip.”. And as they spend more company money on making it “safe”, the market responds and makes more “safe” products.

virtualenv or Poetry. What's the problem?
Lets put some caveats on this. 2nd ammendment is not going away, regardless or one's interpretation of it. Also, the firearms manufactures have a very strong lobby... So, can we find pattern that can be exploited to cut down on the mass killings that the powerful entities can agree to? Also, the guns don't kill people, it is the person using the gun. Is there something that can be detected personality wise, like low empathy? Is there a graduated gun ownership? (There could be grade of deadliness of the weapon and one can't buy/own grade 2 until one buys owns grade 1 for 5 years or something.) A friend pointed out that nobody with a concealed weapons permit had commited a mass killing, perhaps force people through that training.

FYI - if all guns are taken away, it will not stop mass killings. It just makes it more challenging for said individuals. The goverenment can't realistically ban the items used to make a molotov cocktail. One of those could actually be more deadly than a firearm in a crowded location...
