> Sure, but care should be taken for this not to skew the numbers. That more people can now afford to have a mini-datacenter in their house – and therefore there being more computers out there – doesn't mean that there are more distinct people whose main computing device is a general-purpose computer.

I've always done this even when I didn't have a lot of money. Server hardware has always been cheap because most of its audience won't even think about buying it secondhand, they will only buy new with warranty and 4hr support. I got $400 fibre channel cards for $10 because literally nobody wants them and companies throw out perfectly good cards when the warranty expires. It's a joke.

In the early 2000's I had Sun Fire and Netra's. I had an HP 9000 HP-UX box with 1GB (in the day when that was a ridiculous amount of memory). These days I have HPs.

A home lab has always been within reach. In fact I find it harder now due to energy consumption, as energy was always cheap.
The default answer in the cable industry for solving "underserved" communities seems to be run fiber - but that's prohibitively expensive, especially for very rural communities. I believe "underserved" is defined as sub 32 MBps down and sub 6 MBps up. There's HFC which alleviates things somewhat but that still implies noise problems and signal amplitude loss for each home's coax tap.

It's nice to have Starlink as an intermediary solution for rural people while the "fiber everywhere" approach takes slow adoption.

Right back atcha.

We have three alternative time systems and a big bag of issues with each of them, but you think the extremely mundane argument that we should prefer one bag represents nauseating arrogance because you think that your favorite bag -- a different one -- is obviously correct? Come on. Do better. Be civil.
Housing cannot be both affordable and a good investment indefinitely. Obviously. A good investment means the price goes up quickly and at some point the price is higher than what most people can afford. Whatever solution you propose must stop housing from being such a good investment. If you say the approach is to build more, the answer to "how much more?" is "until housing is not a good investment," so the point stands. A lot of people will agree with you on "build more" but I bet only with an explicit caveat of "as long as housing continues to be a good investment for me" and so the agreement is completely useless. There is no agreement to actually fix anything.

I don't think anyone takes issue with your belief that you need to get positive, more as advice it sounds similar to "get confident" or other "outcomes as strategies" statements.
Make some radical changes in your life to course correct. A lot of people where are giving you coping mechanisms, ie exercise, no drugs, etc. All good but the problem still exists; you hate doing what you are doing. Don't learn to deal with the current situation, or you will further erode your confidence to do something else.

Maybe you can get a job doing what you like, but even switching employers to do something you don't really care for will still be a step in the right direction. As you will exercise your change muscle.

I like using the word 'internet' in moderation comments as a sort of mild pejorative—it nicely expresses the shared semi-embarrassment we all feel about whatever this is.

I think it helps take pressure off people personally—because even if you're being scolded, you know..."internet" - how high can the bar really get. It's scolding on a curve.

Wether we like it or not, climate change has turned into a major political issue.

We have a party of science deniers. Wether or not most Americans believe this is different from wether or not an entire party has made it a cornerstone of their policies.

Which again goes back to my original thinking, that they are just blocking it across the board instead of allowing both sides to voice their opinion. Especially if they strongly disagree with that side.

Given the block is just "climate change" I am inclined to think that is the case here.
Is it really a desire for "ever-higher fuel economy?"

I would have no problem driving a 10mpg car that had character, didn't look like every other car on the road, or had some sort of unique value to it. But regulations are arbitrarily increasing fuel economy requirements which drives every car to use smaller engines, less powerful engines, and end up looking like a half-used cough drop.

I think if manufacturers didn't have to waste time with that they would be willing to invest more in things people actually care about, rust resistance being one of them.

That’s ignoring the higher purchase cost, though. At the end of those 10 years you’d have a vehicle with a $13-15k KBB estimated value (assuming it’s in very good condition) but will have spent enough extra up front and on gas to buy two new efficient cars even before you consider the greater cost of a heavier vehicle like the 4Runner in parts and tires or insurance.
> The Earth's wobbling and halting deceleration should not impact, let alone underly, our definition of time.

Who's definition... the whole relativeness of time means this is a problem.

Yea, I agree that we should have a unit of time defined for things near sea level and not moving very fast. But even that becomes problematic over 'long' periods of time as the earth is slowing down and will skew from what humans experience, of which has been the basis of how we define time until recently.

Even then we're still leaving out the problems of things in space and on other planets.

At the end of the day we're attempting to define time as something exact for all observers, and when you attempt to give an exact definition to something that is not exact problems are going to occur.

I've hit this many times over the last 20+ years, and have come to recognize/accept that most people can not really grok something until they can 'use' it in some capacity, often with 'real' data.

Clickable wireframes, design sessions, mockups, etc - they can all help explore ideas before code, and potentially save things. I've had numerous examples where I can identify "this is confusing" or "this doesn't solve the problem, just moves it around a bit" and I'm usually 'outvoted' by others, and do the work. It's usually only after it's in peoples' hands that they identify the rough edges (or more).

> If a license has never been considered an implicit waiver, it seems overkill to say that "a license that says nothing about rights is materially better than a license that explicitly does not waive rights," no?

Yes, and I suspect a lawyer for a sufficiently-malicious GPLv2 dev looking to submarine an org could probably even take it further – because the FSF felt it was necessary to create GPLv3 in order to explicitly grant patent rights to GPLv3 licensors of the code, choosing to continue to use GPLv2 like my client the malicious-submarine-dev did, instead of relicensing in GPLv3, was done precisely in order to signal that they are expressly choosing to grant a copyright license but not a patent license to users.

Singling out CC0 seems arbitrary – if Fedora wants patent certainty, they should be sticking to things like GPLv3 and Apache

No. Those licenses don't say anything about patents. This one explicitly says it doesn't give licensees any patent rights.

With respect, you are hiding the ball. Those two terms are not synonymous. Some users can experience an endorphin flood from achievement, not merely excitement through play, which is probably more analogous to "fun". What these designers have learned to do, however, is establish through the game's ephemera (art, sound, animation, number-go-up etc.) a direct connection between endorphins as achievement and spending money. You spend money, you get the hit. It's a straight line.

And that, yes, I will call "downright evil", because it is exploitative abuse of the human firmware for mere profit. Developers of slot machines are excoriated for the same thing; there's no reason that virtual ones are any better.
While we're on Python and private methods - what's with everyone just _underscoring every method and variable by default? Does anyone teach people to do this or have I just ran into a few people with this habit by chance?

Because classes are encapsulated data plus contracts over managing the object's state. If a class does not have control of its own data, then it cannot fulfill its contracts.

Let's say I have a Motorcycle class with 2 Wheel members. What if in the code I assume 2 Wheels when writing the serializer? And then someone comes along, instantiates a Motorcycle and nukes a Wheel? The code will break.

You can make an argument that OOP is not what you want, and instead create something akin to namespaces+data, and that's fine. But OOP's thing is to create a public API, and controlled state behind it.

It's supposed to be opt-in though. My impression though is in the last year and a half Amazon deliveries to me have slowed down, in particular I don't think they are even trying to deliver prime packages in two days anymore. I'd contrast that to other major retailers (Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Adorama, ...) that are frequently delivering packages faster than they promise.
Doesn't this require understanding from both sides? Most online discourses are not like this, hence both sides are incentivized to just straw man it.
Somewhere in the late 90's early 2000's car manufacturers switched paint processes, typically to a water based paint.

That's the point in time where you could see the most clearly which manufacturers had their house in order in terms of weld cleaning, seam coating, basic material procurement and surface protection.

Some of them failed horribly, which led to some brands (for instance: Mercedes) having an undisclosed hit against their earnings to deal with the resulting rust issues on relatively new cars. It wasn't rare at all to see an early 2000's C-Class in the shop for the replacement of four doors, bonnet and rear hatch. And it wasn't rare to see them completely rusted out either a few years later. From Q1 2003 they galvanized those panels and then the problem stopped.

So everybody smartened up and now things are much better, to the point that there hardly are cars made that have serious rust issues. Coatings are a continuous materials science development front and some of the stuff that happened in the last decade and a half is extremely impressive.

Car bodies used to be gone long before the engines, those days are over.

VAG, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW all have a very good reputation nowadays for being rust resistant, I would not know of a favorite between those. By the way, Volvo is now Chinese (bought by scooter manufacturer Geely).

My own car is a 1997 (just before they switched paint formulation for that particular brand) and there isn't a spot of rust on it and as far as I know it has never had body work done. (Don't get me started about engines though...)
> In a world without marketing, there would be 1000 identical versions of the same product and I would have no idea where to begin

This is still very much the case. Marketing is a signal of exactly one thing: marketing budget. At least with the anonymous clones, I can be somewhat certain that when my friend says “yah I got a pair of running shorts from [insert random company here] and they’ve been pretty good so far”, their decision was made on the basis of their direct experience because that’s all they can go on.
You're totally right in your analysis. I'm not disagreeing with you at all about what these genuinely abominable games do, just the attribution of it. "Marketing" is a term of art; it means something.
Ask yourself where has all of that lead gone? Lead is not cyanide, it can’t break down. It’s just lead.

Suppose all fields are public, but the legal value of a field is dependent upon others. Then every time you change it you also have to include all the invariant preserving logic. This is duplication of the insane sort, totally unnecessary and gratuitous and gloriously error prone (at scale). The sane option is to make it private and have one place that checks that the input is valid and have everything make use of that.
I don't see the big issue with this. Hulu isn't under any obligation to accept any content.

As much as I may agree/disagree with the topics of the campaign ads, I really don't think these (probably) polemic video snippets are as significant as the people pushing them pretend they are.

I think politicians need to stop demanding private companies allow them to say what they want, when they want, how they want. There are plenty of other advertisements that are rejected- companies have discretion over what they choose to accept, as they should.

Ultimately if politicians want to bring a subject to people, they should figure out other ways of doing so. Additionally, I really don't think anyone with or without a stance is going to be swayed by a 30/60/90 second ad. A short ad on a streaming platform also isn't going to bring discussion or encourage real responses from people besides (probably) irritation.

Ultimately regardless of the message contained, Hulu has the say over what content they want to be associated with. Maybe it isn't even about the topics presented, but about the politicians and political campaigns in general.

Personally I would be irritated to see campaign ads, from either duopolist party- I'd rather not watch it as none of them have anything worth saying most of the time. I wish they'd take their campaign money, use it elsewhere, and stop making a big ado about people not wanting to do what they want- that goes for both Democrats and Republicans- acting like there's some kind of persecution happening, while hypocritically at the same time both are doing their very best to stifle anything outside their big tents.

This sounds like the folks who say, "What if we stopped paying for NASA and spent that money on our citizens instead?"

I'm not saying it's wrong, but I think it often lacks nuance/insight. Money spent on NASA does stay in our economy. It provides jobs, funds research, etc. There are pros and cons to doing it this way as opposed to giving it to our people directly.

I like to imagine the possibilities if we stopped

Money spent on the military is not removed from the economy. It stays in the economy.

Some of that money directly goes right back into science via taxes. Other bits of it fund companies that do both research and military development. Other bits of that money fund college educations for tomorrow's science-doers. Etc.
