hrmmm, looks like plumbing solder has been banned (for sale I guess) since 1986 in USA and since 1990 in Canada. US regs are specific to potable water lines, so unclear how available it is.

(Wouldn't be surprised if plumbers stocked up on several years worth prior to the bans).

Yes, they’re harder to see and don’t ‘give’ the way a car or RV will.
I think you're imagining that current airliners and current flight instruction work very differently than they actually do. A very large fraction of flight instruction is carried out in planes that predate the embedded-computers era, starting in roughly 01975, and the more recent planes that carry most commercial air traffic are designed to simulate those computer-free planes as closely as possible.

Yeah, maybe there would be a huge spike in aviation risk, so instead of one flight in ten million crashing, one flight in a hundred thousand would crash, but that's still not enough for aviation to become a dominant cause of death for weekly business air commuters. People would freak out when they watched the news but only in countries that hand over the reins of society to nervous nellies would it be a real obstacle to aviation.

As someone deeply in love with Omnifocus, this feels like a step backward for me. Omnifocus has several features that Emery does not, and the only thing Emery has that Omnifocus does not is a dedicated notes space that isn't tied to tasks, but I'd rather use Omnifocus+a more feature rich notes app than use Emery.

If you'd like a bit of product advice...each of the verticals you're building on (calendar, tasks, and notes) are packed with competitors and feature rich. I don't think you can offer a better product by creating an all-in-one solution. At best, you can help customers with no solution today, but you're banking on their lack of awareness of their options in the space at that point, and that's a bad strategy.

If you want to be successful in the productivity space, I think it's far, FAR more prudent to focus on one of these areas (calendar, email, or notes) and get really REALLY good at it by serving a particular workflow or customer segment that doesn't have a tailored solution.

Though maybe you just built something you want to use yourself and are operating this as a side project. If so...god speed.

The gap between the actual theories and the popular conception is what I’m commenting on.

Note that these theories are actually generally descriptive, no one wholesale invented capitalism. For the entirety of human history we have had systems based on a combination of markets, status, family lineage, etc. this applies both to the past and to today.

What I’m taking issue with is the degree to which all of that is glossed over and people assume that the market will evolve naturally if left unspoiled/untouched.

I've spoken to a mother whose school-aged daughters' circle of friends, five biological girls, all identify somewhere between trans and nonbinary. The teachers encourage and reward it. So do most of the parents. Among these girls it's uncool to accept the body and sex you were born with. I've read stories of similar clusters in other deep-blue cities and school districts.

I believe we're seeing a massive Clever Hans effect among children whose mentors have deep moral anxiety. They grew up during the final battles and ultimate victory of the LGB rights movement, and desperately wish to avoid being seen "on the wrong side of history." Driven by this anxiety, they aggressively pursue gender-affirming care for their children. They do this even in cases where the child's discomfort may more likely result from depression, autism spectrum disorders, the normal effects of puberty, or other conditions unrelated to gender dysphoria. Their children will bear this moral panic's lasting fallout. The effects of puberty blockers are lifelong and largely unknown. The effects of mastectomies and testosterone injections are irreversible.

The real shame will be felt by those who knew, but said nothing, because they didn't want to lose their personal comfort or social networks. The evidence of most trans children desisting in adulthood is clear. "For decades, follow-up studies of transgender kids have shown that a substantial majority-- anywhere from 65 to 94 percent-- eventually ceased to identify as transgender":

Known good hardware I expect. There's definitely some hardware out there which is sorta-kinda supported on Linux, but only really works for one kernel version on one distro, and doesn't only supports the bare minimum of requirements.

> Bluetooth pairing fails occasionally.

I never had this issue on Linux until my most recent laptop, which shipped with a Qualcomm 1103 card, which gave me no end of issues with Wifi and Bluetooth (resume from sleep failing, weird power drain, random drop outs).

I swapped out the wifi/BT module for an Intel wireless card (AX210), and all the above problems immediately resolved themselves.

Maybe it's just the bluetooth hardware?

My educated grandma was a physicist in USSR who coded on punch cards who brought home her programs for note taking. I've taken so many notes on those, learning how to write around the holes. Weirdly enough I found one of her cards in some box that we brought here to USA and gave it to my wife, she has it in her art supplies. That thing is like 70 years old, and I love looking at it!
I get hassled by pests as well, though I try to add things into the local ecology that would eat or mitigate them. My backyard chickens cover a lot of insect pests. Where I am is too dry for snails, otherwise I'd get some ducks.

Fungus is key to building a healthy, perennial food forest, so it really depends on how it is planted, what the species needs, etc. Pesticides and herbicides tend to kill off the beneficial fungus. Some drought-tolerant species, like pomegranates, get invaded by fungi when soil conditions are too wet. Another is if you are using the right root stock / scion combination for your fruiting trees.

As far as weeds goes, there's a way to incorporate them. It depends on the "weed" species. Some, like dandelions, are pioneer species that help rebuild soil and should be left where they are. Others may need more drastic strategies like resetting the soil ecology using aggressive sheet mulching.

Generally though, if you have something occupying (1) all ecological functions, and at (2) all canopy layers, it would be difficult for weeds invade because that role is already taken up by something.

> “open source” means nothing more than what those two words clearly express: source available

Perhaps it is my long experience with OSS, but to me "open" expresses freedom to use and modify not just to peruse. Some source available licenses are in more of a gray area here. But I've also seen companies claim that they are open source just because their code is on GitHub, even though their license doesn't allow you to do anything with that source code.

> all lawmakers and law enforcement, all journalism, all business people, and the general public.

Most of these people have no idea what source code is, so open source means nothing to them, unless someone explains it to them.

> It would be way better if the term was clearly a name, rather than something that tries to gate-keep the meaning of general words

I don't disagree with you, but the term "open source" is already widely used (moreso I think than "free software" which IMO is even worse given the ambiguity of the word free in English). And I would argue that it is a term of art in the software industry. It isn't the only case where general words are used for specific meanings in our industry, by far. Coming up with a new term would require a lot of effort to teach everyone already familiar with open source a new term, rewriting a lot of literature about OSS, and probably some rebranding. And then, even if the new term does catch on, as others have mentioned, companies will probably still use the new term to incorrectly refer to things that don't meet the definition, for the same reasons they do now.

Would it be better to have a more specific name, maybe something that could be trademarked? Probably. Is it worth changing the term at this point? Probably not.

That's not helping Asahi. Apple never mentioned the reason behind the change (or even publicly acknowledged Asahi, as far as I'm aware), and non-Marcan sources have speculated that it was added to help Apple run hardware testing firmware. It's equally likely that Apple added this in as an alternate entrypoint for Bootcamp, which wouldn't work on Apple Silicon otherwise. In other words, people are applauding Apple for fixing the problem Apple created: a perfect allegory for developers in the 21st century, if you ask me.

Oh I meant C++ binding was more of a pain before. I've been doing swig and other kinds of C FFI wrapping for years and this is far better...

Of course it relies on the module/extension API from python that is quite amenable to this kind of full-object and their methods binding. But it works very well together.

So much that we asked similar for Ada https://github.com/AdaCore/Ada-py-bind (Raphael Amiard from AdaCore is quite the Ada hacker) which, even with the limitations of Ada generics, has been a godsend for scripting Ada objects from python.

They are getting very creative too. There is a common bot scam nowadays where it will ask for help and share private keys of a crypto wallet with money inside it.

The catch is to transfer those tokens from the crypto wallet, you have to fund it with native token to pay the gas fee. When you do, the gas fees is automatically sniped by the bot and stolen.

Another interesting one I've come across is where scammers plant obvious bot tweets and then other bots call them out to upsell security services by a random account which then setup a similar trap.

It's amusing to watch. I might fall for some of them if I wasn't aware of them. I can't imagine an average person not getting fished.

Eliminating mosquito breeding grounds is the most effective approach of mosquito control. They do not travel very far, have a massive reproductive ability, and have a relatively short lifespan. Larvacides in standing water do stop larvae but not adults. If you do have standing water that is a necessity then there are larvacides that can treat the water with bacteria for a safe effective treatment. It must be done often though. Insecticides do kill adult mosquitos and repel them but still if there is an area nearby they can breed in, they will be replaced very fast.
Yes, he sold his seven or so mansions in California when he moved to Texas last year, and claimed to go possession free living in a $50k tiny house.

First off, one would have to assume he suddenly swore of luxury after seven mansions. Perhaps. He does say a lot of dumb stuff when he's stoned that he ends up trying to hide later on (e.g., submarine scandal).

Second, he doesn't seem to spend too much time in his tiny house:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/elon-mus...

Third, where does he keep all those tuxedos he keeps showing up wearing at exclusive events for billionaires?

Fourth, he's got like 10 kids and multiple wives. And he keeps getting women pregnant. That's literally a luxury.

Maybe we have different definitions. Sure, he owns a cheap house this year that he seems to not live in, but cavorting with other billionaires and treating women like breeding stock and throwing cash at offspring so you don't have to bother raising them doesn't really strike me as living a lean life.

It's probably hard to measure, because there are many reasons to act like you have the delusion, even if you don't.

For example, to avoid physical danger, to avoid social ostracization, to benefit from the social network, to gain power and influence, etc. The delusion (or at least it's theatrics) is part of a bigger social package. It's a bit like product bundling, or subprime mortgage securitization, or suspiciously large wooden gifts.

The good parts are good, and the bad parts benefit from the aggregate value function.

There is absolutely no reason Apple couldn’t have locked things down quite a bit further. The other OS functionality is totally unnecessary for MacOS or probably even Apple tools their store/repair techs use.

They don’t allow any of this on iOS devices, and M1/2 Macs are basically iOS devices at a hardware level with more ports/power. Surely allowing the other OS functionality is at least a tiny security weakness because it makes it easier to get a foothold to attack from. Apple takes security really seriously, and has only been getting stricter.

I just have a hard time seeing any reason any of this exists unless they purposefully chose to allow it. It’s can’t be happenstance.

Even if it's non-slavery, the maids do not get paid a lot and have to work quite a bit depending where they end up. No real private space and your "room" is a sleeping mat on the floor in the laundry next to the kitchen so you can be easily found. And they aren't expensive - if you can feed them and have a spare room, their pay is only around $600 per month. If that was the reality in Australia nearly every middle class family could afford one.

A couple more things I've noticed on my visits. Trucks and work vans allow people to ride in the back unsecured. They'd never let real citizens do that in their safer cars.

The airport had an entire separate processing line for the plane from Bangladesh one time when I visited.

I once arrived late at night when the newer terminal was being finished, and leaving the carpark saw rows and rows of shoes. The workers were all sleeping under the carpark exit ramp in the open air.

It seems to me that if an ant is ripped apart limb from limb after being found to be a part of a different ant colony this is not the perfect feed for an argument that ant colonies ought to have pheromones which never evaporate. The actual perfect argument would be proving that the word is stationary such that all past pheromone trails are still highly informative of the true utilities. Worse is that I find the entire structure to be suspect - so what if an at lays a new trail - this is not less collectivist for all that an individual ant laid it. The species was social and the nature of the collectivism is largely a product of the individual pheromone trails being interacted with locally.

I like this model because ants exhibit much of the mathematical structure of a reinforcement learning solution to the explore exploit dynamic in a non-stationary environment, but are simple enough that I can play the rollout in my head in real space and see the consequences.

I mean, if you were prepared to support the claim that the landlords of the MindGeek offices (for instance) knew about the child porn, and actively chose to profit off of it, which is what is alleged about Visa, that seems perfectly reasonable.

(Will the evidence support that? Who knows, that's what a trial is for—this is just allowing the suit in the front door.)
