State violence keeps the peace. If you think of your own life (for most people I think), there's some incident in the past where you or somebody you love was hurt, and if it weren't for state violence, you'd have felt the obligation to hurt the perpetrator back. That's not good for the victim of crime, because not only are they suffering from the crime, but now they feel obligated to do take a dangerous, difficult action that they're unaccustomed to, or to feel ashamed for not having done it. It's not good for society, because the friends and loved ones of the perpetrator of the crime may have a different view of it, and now for you, you're the perpetrator of unpunished harm to their loved one. That's how family feuds start.

That's in the basic case that almost everyone will experience at multiple points in their lives. Instead, the state intervenes and does just enough violence to keep the peace on both sides.

The other reason state violence keeps civilization together is credit. To extend credit, you have to have state violence or a mafia. There has to be something to do if someone just decides not to pay you back. You can build up trust with a particular borrower by starting with small amounts (or collectively do this by sharing information with other lenders, but that's a bit of a mafia), but that doesn't prevent people from living up to that trust for the little loans, until the big loan comes, then absconding. Or simply doing it with introductory loans across many different (non-colluding) lenders.

In all these situations, fortune favors larger families. Your family determines whether people will be afraid of hurting you, whether you'll get justice if they do, whether there are people who have resources that trust you enough to lend them to you... if you don't have a family, you're fucked.

My problem is state violence on behalf of the powerful towards the weak, which comes with state control by the wealthy. Otherwise, thank Christ for state violence. I know I would have killed at least two people (unless one of them killed me) if it didn't exist.

Thanks, very useful. I'm just finding it hard do adapt and find a place for the role of a Software/System Architect (which is very common in my industry) in the framework since it conflicts a bit with the other roles, mainly, Tech Lead. I`m thinking of Software/System Architect to be a TL7.
For some reason, your comment reminded me of one time in elementary school. I got some from school around 3:30, felt tired and then went straight to bed. I woke up around 8:00 and started freaking out, thinking that I had woken up at 8AM instead of 8PM (the sun was still out and resembled the sunrise). I rushed to get my stuff ready to leave for school and went downstairs. Saw my dad just sitting there, so I yelled at him that I'm going to be late for school and why didn't he wake me up. He gave me a confused look and said, " I guess you slept well, it's 8PM."
And this is relevant how?
every night when i sleep, i call the process "shutting down". i do NOT hear or feel anything, my family members have to rage shake me to get me up in the middle of the night if there is an emergency, earthquake or something of that sort.
i NEVER hear the alarm clock in the morning or during the night, that means like last month i had to catch a 4 AM flight and i could not guarantee that i would get up at 2am, change and leave so i did the next best thing, i stayed up all night. (this was when i was alone for some reason)

i listen to audiobooks when i am "Falling asleep", been doing that for the last decade, without fail. one time my phone broke and i felt "weird" sleeping without some narrator speaking to me.

the rage shake thing, that is real. funny thing, i can sometimes "hear, like being in a well and looking out kind of feeling, but can't put 2 and 2 together with regards to something is trying to wake me up"...

GNOME 2 was my bread and butter. It's absolutely my perception that GNOME devs have gone "drunk on popularity" at the time (or perhaps more precisely, drunk on power), and still are.

GNOME 3 would absolutely have not been pushed as the future of GNOME so unilaterally if the lead devs showed any restraint or signs of listening to their users, given how much initial outcry there was. Given that they announced they may be dropping X11 support in GTK5 (!) [1], I argue they are still drunk to one extent or another. X11 is the GUI server that most desktop Linux users use as of 2022! Have an ounce of respect for your users, and at least ask if that's what people want / are comfortable dropping.

I get it, it's their project. But if a good chunk of the Linux userbase uses your software, then it's good to at least ask if people are OK with the direction being taken.

Cargo and npm are very robust so long as you stick only to their respective ecosystems. However as soon as you need something from a different eco system they each become hard. The initial import into an ecosystem isn't hard, but the reimport after every update upstream is very annoying.
The index.js thing is a very bizarre thing that I think is result of people not knowing how to use an editor. Literally just use a flat directory and use your editor to group / roll up the files in a directory.

You just can't expect a script to make a website accessible. Accessibility cannot be fully automated. Sure there are tools that can highlight some issues, and provide guided review to help find others, but there's no panacea.

Instead, start with a UI library that already applies accessibility best practices, such as Material UI [0], then follow the guidance provided for each component (a library can't do everything for you, despite what many claim), as well as applying accessibility best practices to the site as a whole. Only then apply automated review, and manual review by accessibility experts, fixing issues raised at each stage.

Hmm I wish people would stop saying AI is "just pattern matching". I think it's pretty clear that a) state of the art LLMs have gone well beyond basic pattern matching and b) there's no fundamental reason (that anyone knows of) to believe that humans aren't "just pattern matching".

I mean I don't think we'll have fully autonomous vehicles using AI for a very long time because it basically requires strong AI... But it also doesn't seem like research is especially stalled.
Wow, that's an insane way to treat customers. No explanation of any kind. I guess I won't be using Stripe anymore.

>Does Apple have any plans at all.....

None.

>but how actually dependent Apple is on Chinese manufacturing isn’t immediately clear to me.

Extremely.

>Every once in a while I’ll see stories about manufacturing or assembling some_older_thing in the US or elsewhere

Those were PR moves. Or in the case of Brazil or India they are for Tax incentives. And in US it was more of a political show.

Apple actually publish their own Supply Chains report as part of their Supplier Responsibility so you dont need to take my word for it. And if you have any friends working inside electronics Supply Chains, ( it doesn't even need to be inside Apple's Supply Chain), they would know.

Now let me make one thing clear, helping Chinese Companies moving out of China isn't exactly diversifying their supply chains.

Astronomy still provides useful insights regardless of whether we can reach those places or not.

That said, we are indeed researching ever more advanced propulsion technologies!

We've made great strides in electric propulsion, which is far more efficient for long voyages than chemical rockets. This tech is already in wide use today in satellites and probes of all kinds.

We're ramping up research in nuclear rocket propulsion again. There are several branches here: nuclear electric, nuclear thermal and nuclear pulse. Of these, the last one is the least developed since it basically means using nuclear explosions to boost you, but it has the most promise for futuristic spaceship drives.

There's also the possibility of using antimater pulse drives but that's a hairy can of worms. Very hard to produce the fuel in enough quantities.
In almost every earth in almost every multiverse, electric cars probably have more impact than thinking about how great it would be if it was easier to walk in cities.
Thanks, unfortunately I have to work with a couple of old routers
didn't stripe (maybe it was a competitor, idk) go to a Paypal conference and took like 2000lb blocks of ice with dollar bills frozen in them and drop them off in front of the convention center? And then posted signs everywhere to the effect "tired of paypal freezing your money?"
This reads like victim blaming.. "I bet the business was wearing something slutty. If they didn't want the stripe gang to bother them, they shouldn't have been wearing that".

What does a business soundness have to do with stripe robbing them?

So god of the gaps; trust these fringe 'scientists'; overlook mountains of other evidence for macro evolution; and an eternal, preexisting, immensely powerful, intelligent being as more plausible than eternal matter in a potentially infinite universe eventually coalescing to create simple life that gradually evolves into more complex forms (sometimes repeatedly, like crabs). Occam's razor would say go with the simpler explanation. My bet is on unintelligent yet eternal matter.

We have a decade of data on the question of how much degredation there is for EVs. Short answer, not much.

https://storage.googleapis.com/geotab-sandbox/ev-battery-deg...

In the UK, the government also pays for the dementia and asthma that the car pollution creates, and importing the fuels is a cost, as is the lost efficiency, cost of meeting net zero targets and upgrading the grid (which EVs help with) so it evens out.

As I say, they'll probably start taxing them anyway, and thats good, London has a "Congestion Charge" so exceptions for EV make sense as a short term incentive, but they still cause "congestion" and should still pay.

When I look at how figures like Donziger, Assange and Snowden are treated I cant help but think our society is a lot more like Russia than we think we are - differing mostly by a matter of degree, rather than principle.

Stalinism was economic totalitarianism with a goal and an exit strategy. Authoritarianism was supposed to be a phase; the system would moderate itself over time. The degree to which that would have actually happened, we don't know. External forces destroyed the Soviet Union, so all we can do is speculate, but I suspect that if it had been left alone, it'd have fixed a lot of its problems and be a decent place to live by now.

The corporate system we have now is also economic totalitarianism. Financial interests decide where you can live, what jobs you can do, and what kind of reputation you have in the community. The issue here is that it's economic totalitarianism with no exit strategy. Neoliberalism insists that things have never been better (despite substantial evidence to the contrary) and there's no reason to exit from economic totalitarianism when we should, instead, "own nothing, have no privacy, and be happy".
I built the Stripe integration for a medium sized online retailer, and our experience wasn't quite as good as this. Our COO could get them on the line to negotiate our contract, but our engineers struggled to get useful answers out of them via email and our account manager often took weeks and multiple pings to respond to product questions.

I have had amazing success chatting with their engineers on IRC, but it's fairly unofficial, they're limited in what they can do when things concern user data, and I don't think most customers should need to get on IRC for support.

As for competitors though, I've heard from a customer "Stripe treat taking payments as a business, $competitor treats taking payments as a hobby". On balance, while not perfect, I'd probably choose Stripe again, but I'd get an account manager ASAP and try to build a good relationship with them rather than treating it as a black-box SaaS product that I don't need to interact with humans to use.

Why would focusing on just one measure be the right approach when the UN (i.e., its member countries) have agreed on 17 sustainable development goals?

Focusing just on emissions isn't sustainable! This just doesn't make any sense. If we take goal #1: No Poverty or goal #4: Quality Education #8: Decent Work and Economic Growth as examples, how does one reduce everything to emissions? Emissions is probably one thing related to goal #13: Climate Action, but somehow handwaving it as the only one of import sounds dubious.

As I understand it Deep Mind has now calculated the structure of the proteins we know of.
edit: I should have read the post first! What do you mean 'only globular proteins'? They say they have predictions for all of UniProt...

---------------

Yes, the idea of a 'protein universe' seems like it should at least encompass 'fold space'.

For example, WR Taylor : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11948354/

I think the rough estimate was that there were around 1000 folds - depending on how fine-grained you want to go.

Absolutely agree, though, that a lot of proteins are hard to crystalise (i understand) due to being trans-membrane or just the difficulty of getting the right parameters for the experiment.
> 1. Because it defeats the purpose of pre-commit.

No, it doesn't. Pre-commits are just a DX bonus so you won't have to wait for the CI/CD server.

2. pre-commit install installs the hook by default.

Am I missing something? If you run "$ pre-commit install" of course it will install the hooks. Do you mean that poetry install, setup.py themselves are making the magic of installing the hooks themselves? If so, it's indeed a bad practice.

3. If you happen to fail linting a few times a year, there's always an anal coworker telling your boss in a 1-on-1 you are not following some BS ways of working.

I don't get why anyone would care, unless you're polluting the CI/CD history with tons of tiny commits all day along just to run linting.
Not sure what "solving" means but it's not correct that Pipewire doesn't offer any benefits unless you use another API. Depending on what you compare it with, of course. If you use audio semi-professionally you might already use low latency software and not see better latency, but compared to Pulseaudio the difference should be noticeable.

Of course, if the application is VoIP than Pulseaudio was already good enough, as network latency is an order of magnitude greater, but for realtime streaming applications the difference is there.

Most end users won't care however. They switch when the distribution they use switches over.
I would say no, the two approaches may be used to validate each other.

After much thought, the ability to message people and link them back to it like I have been doing will be useful if I can ever have my day in court.

That's not how sleep works at all. Your sleep goes through many different phases and your brain is continually monitoring its surroundings for danger[0]. The reason why you feel like your mind is shut down is because, on a normal night of sleeping in your comfy home, nothing extraordinary happens.

It can be a useful heuristic to determine how much effort you want to expend on a topic with someone else. If someone is simply putting forward tu quoque / ad hominem statements, then pointing this out and asking if there are any other reasons can perhaps lead to focusing on more 'productive' areas of disagreement.
