Your generalization OCD is very, very wrong. I can sadly speak from all-too-close experience that OCD is an absolutely crippling mental illness our society still does not take seriously enough. It’s still largely used as a punchline in popular culture and in social interactions.

Edit: I’m being told I misunderstood the parent comment but it appears to be claiming the bar is much lower now than in the past. Certainly skipping over sidewalk cracks isn’t OCD. The point of my comment is that when someone is diagnosed with OCD in 2022 by a professional, it’s generally for very serious reasons.
Are those reductions (which, of course, are a very good thing) actually reflected in the Keeling Curve?

When cities aren't enforcing public camping, illegal parking, dumping trash in public places, property crimes, or openly using hard drugs--what on earth makes you think they'd prioritize going after someone anonymously leaving a concrete block to prevent junkies camping there? I guarantee the cops won't put any resources into this. At most they remove the blocks and then it starts all over again. San Francisco had the same issue only it was with boulders, not eco-blocks.

This is true. I've seen a few small SaaS that should have dreamed bigger who had the idea first. I had a stripe dashboard before baremetrics but totally underestimated the size of the market. A friend had a tool like Buffer that was earlier and got some traction and had a small exit but he didn't dream what he had could scale like buffer did. Granted could have requires lots and lots of work. But neither of us considered being able to even try to get to that scale. So dream big or at least take a more serious look at what scale your 'hustle' could reach.

It is now that we are in the middle of the day and that solar starts to take over; it was not when I posted the chart this morning.

> why is that?

I don't argue against renewables, I argue against wrong arguments.

Here is Germany average CO2/kWh, bottom 10 in Europe between Romania and Bulgaria, with an average of ~320gCO2/kWh: https://www.eea.europa.eu/ims/greenhouse-gas-emission-intens...

There is no installation needed with Nomad, it's a standalone binary.
Just fire it in a small Debian (or Alma) instance on EC2 or GCE and you're done. That should solve point 1.

Point 2 is debatable. Lots of people nowadays put Kubernetes on their resume but that doesn't mean they are great architects or technicians, yet a good part of running production on Kubernetes is doing it right.

You'll see much fewer people with Nomad on their resume, but on the other hand you know they're not here for the buzz, they're usually more experienced and know what they're talking about.
> the biggest challenge would be the right of way and litigation

I totally agree. I live in SoCal and there are some infrastructure projects that took forever (ie creating the I105 and finish connecting the I210), or will probably never get completed (ie. finish connecting the I710 and California High Speed Rail) all because of right of way issues and lots of law suits.
Above comment misplaced?
I don't know about Denmark or Switzerland, but in the Netherlands employers certainly have to pay premiums for social (mainly unemployment and disability) insurance.
It's important to understand that Google is, as an organizational body, psychopathic in nature. (Many corporations are, but Google especially, through well-indoctrinated concepts like being solely data-driven and putting scale first, combined with a belief that Google hires the best people and hence is already doing the best possible thing.)

Google does not care. You cannot make Google care. Employees who care get fired, or burn out trying to make the company care, and inevitably quit. Google is Google, and the only thing that's going to make it change is regulation.
well, far-right tend to be anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant in general (nativists), religious (as in: actually going to church frequently), against abortion or divorce, against government intervention into economy (support low taxes) in general and social spending programs in particular, against LGBT, and pro-gun. Russia is the inverse of all of it except LGBT.

Russia is full of Asians and Muslims and actually uses them as a main tool for agression (they are fighting for Putin in Ukraine mainly, not Slavs).
Russia has abortion and divorce rates higher than in any EU country, and women are completely independent.
Russia is a social state (by constitution) and spends enormous amounts of money to support - more than support, directly feed - tens millions of multigenerational deadbeats.
Legally owning any weapon is extremely hard in Russia and rates of ownership are nearly nonexistent, and there is no gun culture in any strata of the society.
Russians are atheists and vast majority have never been in church in their lifetime, annual rate of church attendance is lower than weekly rate of attendance in countries like Spain.
Yes. Email is a primary way I gather news. I get a bunch of daily emails from various news sources. Some are news organizations, while others are from government agencies or officials. I also get emails from vendors. I filter these into a "shopping" folder so that if I'm looking for a deal I can rummage through there.

I get a few random things that just make me happy, like a daily email from a guy who travels the world and sends one photo a day - he might make his money on guidebooks or itineraries or something.

I suppose some might use Facebook or Twitter for this but I use neither.
Do you understand what a 95% confidence interval is?
I think a counter argument that makes a lot of sense to me is that our modern society is so novel, interconnected, and overstimulating, that it makes sense the prevalence of ADHD and depression have increased massively, especially compared to the populations of 50 years ago.

We see many GitBook users migrating to Docusaurus and being satisfied with Docusaurus features, flexibility, UX/UI and performance

I don't know GitBook well but GitBook is probably less flexible, but their main advantage is likely that they are less developer centric than Docusaurus. They offer a managed service and content updates can be sent without commiting markdown files to a Git repository.

Docusaurus does not come up with anything to author Markdown files: you'd have to figure your authoring experience yourself, using a CMS (git-based or not), VSCode, GitHub UI, Obsidian, it's up to you...
That's moving goalposts; of course small-scale production is going to cost an arm and a leg. The original post said it was impossible, not expensive.
> Really, this does not seem like a problem Google caused,

The problem is 2FA. 2FA causes people to get locked out of their accounts. Google mail requires 2FA, the government does not. If Google turns off 2FA requirement, the problem in the letter goes away. But they won't.

Google is the cause of the problem, and can easily solve it.

Google only recently made MFA mandatory, so most of these impacted users didn't really opt into MFA, they just didn't opt-out by closing their Google account. Likely the first time they realized they might need a backup option would be when they were locked out at the library and it was too late.
I work for an ecommerce company.

The unsubscribe rate doesn't really change, it's fairly constant at 0.3% of the audience every time.

There are obviously diminishing returns on the revenue with frequencies. Our business is moderately seasonal, so the numbers are not that accurate on the revenue side.
So you think it’s a good idea to judge whether people like driving vs mass transit based on areas that have no mass transit vs areas which have both?

That seems illogical at best.

People in areas that have high quality mass transit almost always prefer mass transit over cars. And areas which have decent biking infrastructure overwhelmingly prefer biking over other alternatives.
So basically block the entirety of Reddit, which I agree would be good for all humankind.
You can agree or disagree, but the fact is that diagnoses almost always include a mandatory requirement that the condition has a significant negative impact on the patient's life. It's not merely a value judgment, and it's definitely not an arbitray judgement. The AMA or the CDC can't just decide that blod hair is now a medical disorder for no other reason than it would be helpful to your strawman. Clearly a lot of research and deliberation goes into these decisions. That's why new revisions of the DSM literally take years to complete.
>1) How do lockdowns to minimise deaths violate natural justice?

Controlling the bodily autonomy of another by way of coercion falls under every definition of natural justice I have ever read. Which one are you using which permits this?

>2) Refusing a reasonable request from an employer is grounds for termination in NZ employment law. Asking people working with vulnerable people to be vaccinated against the disease causing that pandemic is a reasonable request. The only virtue signalling was from the nurses who martyred themselves on the altar of misinformation.

I get that you support the government's decision. I am simply pointing out that firing hundreds of nurses during a global pandemic was a bad idea, conceived solely to exert power and control over a badly needed cohort of public health workers.

>3) No, the Three Waters reforms aren't just handing control over critical infrastructure to Māori.

[0]

Your response amounts to "you're wrong, but yes you're right." Is it Orwell day today? You don't get to just call whatever you don't like "misinformation." You admit that an unelected group comprised of 50% of people specifically chosen for their race will be in charge of selecting the governing board of a public asset. You've made it very clear that you like the racial discrimination and attack on the fundamental pillars of democracy in New Zealand, but you don't get to gaslight anyone into believing it's not happening. If you want to follow Labour into hell, the least you will do is be honest about your intentions.
> We've had a couple of devs try and convince us that we should be using Kubernetes and I counter with "it's overkill for what we need". Am I wrong?

You're not necessarily wrong, as long as Docker Compose isn't incompatible with what you're trying to do - e.g. if you'd need overlay networking across multiple nodes, or scheduling things across them in one go, then Docker Compose might not be the best fit and you might instead be better served by looking in the direction of Nomad or even Docker Swarm, though the future there is unclear - maintenance mode project, but very similar to Docker Compose and comes out of the box with any Docker install.

Either way, Kubernetes might indeed be overkill for simple setups, unless you're using just a subset of its functionality and are running lightweight clusters, like K3s or K0s. I guess some might be pushing it because it's basically become the industry standard, at least in some capacity, in some places, or maybe people just want to put it on their CVs.
I'm on a long-term project and we're slowing shifting away from Material UI. So much bloat for not much utility.
Fitts's Law and Its Applications in UX
Yes. It turns out consumer protection and market regulation forces are already making corporations change those terms. For example, I'm not seeing "no refunds" in terms anymore, I'm seeing "no refunds except for cases defined by law". Why not outline those cases so that consumers can understand their rights? Because they obviously don't want to have to refund anyone and would rather consumers remain ignorant of their rights.

I still see most if not all of the clauses I mentioned though in pretty much every terms of service I ever cared to check. We write "buy" on the website but you're not really buying anything, you're licensing it and therefore you own nothing and we can even retroactively take away that license for any reason. Warranty? There is none, products and services are offered as-is and we're not responsible if it's buggy beyond belief or if it gets breached and your personal data get leaked. Thinking about going to court against us? Oh look, you waived all rights to do so individually or as class action, and there's even a huge arbitration section detailing exactly how much of an uphill battle it will be for you should you try to exercise any consumer rights. We don't like it when you tinker with stuff you're not supposed to, so we've prohibited reverse engineering, scraping and everything related no matter how benign. We can totally take any measures we deem necessary in order to ensure your compliance though, like invading your privacy, scanning your system and exfiltrating data like malware but it's not really malware because technically you agreed to it.

In any real justice system, judges would take one look at these abusive clauses and invalidate them on the spot without even giving the corporation chance for recourse. Things are already changing though. Europe is passing laws designed to correct these power imbalances. My country is following their lead.
Yes, you can theoretically do code-only projects on mac and linux, but win is definitely the most comfortable dev platform for Stride.

Yea, some kind of converter for unity assets would be cool. But 3d assets should already work... And with other things from the Unity asset store you could run into licensing issue. But I don't know the details about that, might even vary from asset to asset.

Stride has pretty good written docs, for an open-source project. And there are quite some video tutorials on the docs page too. And there is also: https://doc.stride3d.net/4.0/en/manual/stride-for-unity-deve...

Nancy Pelosi to Visit Taiwan Despite Warnings from China
The Atari 8-bit series was an also-ran compared to the C64, but the very first Logo I used was on an Atari 8-bit at school. Apple eventually ran a very successful campaign to get Apple II based systems into schools, and so the few Atari 8-bit machines we had at my school ended up collecting dust in a corner.

[edit]

A total of 4M units were sold, which is about equal to 2 years of sales of the C64 when it was at peak popularity.

> I'm saying being right about the science says almost nothing about what changes need to be made in the world.

What? Maybe reducing CO2 emissions?

Maybe you meant that being right about the science says almost nothing about what human beings are willing to do to solve it.

And I guess “science” does not have an opinion about the system we live in, arguably.
Many cultures even in the West look down on that kind of attitude.
Google is still a huge part of the problem for requiring all kinds of acrobatics to log into their service which you are forced to use due to the fact that it's one of the only free email providers, the fact that email is pointlessly required to use most websites, and the fact that a huge amount of websites only allow gmail and a few other hosts (yes, there are also other stupid websites that go the other way around and block gmail, yahoo, etc). Government is at fault for not using their billions of dollars to create a simple _modern_ protocol to transfer information. Using web for banking or tax purposes should be illegal just as it would be to use a kids toy radio in the military.
The googleapis package is absolutely ridiculously large (and the design is such that you can't import only part of it which is how it should work). I was able to remove it by depending on `google-auth-library` (an official package that googleapis uses under the hood) instead, but YMMV.
> Apparently up to 25% of the upcoming zoomers identify as LGBTQ. Obviously, biological, empirical nonsense.

Much lower than it probably is. Most people, by my estimate, aren't perfect 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale [0]. The majority of people are somewhere between 1 and 5. It's still a bimodal distribution but I'd estimate most people aren't purely gay or straight.

Sexuality is similar to mental illness in my opinion (STAY WITH ME!), most people have sub-clinical cases of lots of mental illnesses, maybe a facet or two due to maladaption because of being a human (sexually wise: having a fetish, having a 'thing' for secondary sex characteristics of their sex, etc) but it doesn't cross a threshold where it becomes behaviourly significant.

Ask someone "If you had to sleep with someone of the same sex, who would it be?" If they have an honest answer of a specific person, they aren't _technically_ straight.

Playing with all video games was the only reason to go to Sears. JCPenny would usually have a Mac stashed someplace, but all you could do with it was paint waffle patterns on the screen. ;) I never appreciated the vectrex while it was out, I wish I had gotten one in hindsight.

It is really amazing how well the arcade vector screens have held up over the years, I have never seen one with phosphor burn or screen issues. Which is good because nobody has made those in decades, doubt retro arcade enthusiasts are enough of a market that anyone ever will again.

All the Neo-Geo cabinets I've found lately have had a heavy green tint. Its like they all went within a couple years of each other. I'm not sure why people don't swap out the screens while CRTs are still easy to obtain.
So the biggest problem is that every optional feature you offer up does not help when someone walks into the library already locked out. The vast majority of society will never be aware of available options and features for their Google account, so it's only the default behavior that matters. Most people locked out of their account could've set up some sort of way to get in (like backup codes), if hindsight was 20/20 and they knew a lot about Google accounts.

You could add a feature like this, and maybe it helps one out of every hundred people who try to log in at this library, and that's optimistic at best.
Yeah that makes sense, thanks for explaining.

I don't want to make it seem like I'm proving anything novel here, the proof I work through is definitely pretty basic as far as proofs go. It's written somewhat narratively because it reflects a train of thought I went through a few days ago when reading about existential types in Rust. Seeing the theorem ((∃ x. P(x)) → Q) ⇔ (∀ x. (P(x) → Q)) in the blog post made me want see if I still remembered enough Coq to prove it, and then when I was sitting down this morning to write something I thought it would make a good blog post as it explores some deep cuts of what I've been learning in Rust and might make a good introduction for people into Coq. I'll definitely take it on the chin that I titled the blog too ambitiously however and I'll be more modest with my titles in the future.

If the US government created its own SSO system and mandated that all government website used it as primary while allowing third parties to use it too this could become a solved problem. It would be a credential that could be accessed via existing paper based systems. Places like Google allowing it as a sign in method would actually solve this case. Sadly I think the tech world in general is so allergic to losing privacy that even something optional like this would get lobbied out of existence just by tech companies alone.
