Had a quick skim of the first reference. It would take me days to digest it all. One thing I think of though is Italy. Very strict right. Except as I recall they weren't, until it got real bad. So high deaths due to fast spread can cause lockdowns. This might skew things.

I am not say "always lock down", but when it is appropriate it is a good tool. NSW, Australia was very locked down ... until vaccination rates were up high and then it suddenly wasn't. I feel like although NSW has it's fair share of blunders, it did pretty well overall. Some of that was good luck despite some bad decisions. But I am happy with the lockdowns even though they were disruptive. Some businesses suffered, and some did better. Suburban hospitality seemed to do well as people working from home are now getting their lunch local not in the city.
This is very cool.

A while back I started an experiment/prototype called "make-audit"; this is a (draft) tool to report when an execution of GNU make reads or changes files in ways that are inconsistent with its Makefile: https://github.com/david-a-wheeler/make-audit It's nowhere ready for serious use, but it can detect the following:

* Error: Target TARGET : unreported prerequisites: SET : The make recipe for creating TARGET is reading from the prerequisites in SET, but the makefile fails to report them as dependencies. You may want to add SET to the prerequisites of TARGET.

* Error: Target TARGET : claimed but unused prerequisites: SET : The make recipe for creating TARGET claims that it depends on SET, but the items in SET were never read. You may want to remove SET from the prerequisites of TARGET.

* Error: Target TARGET : unreported target: SET The make recipe for updating TARGET also modifies the files in SET but this is not reported.

* Error: Target TARGET : unmodified reported target: SET

This depended on Poor Man's File Auditor (pmaudit): https://github.com/boyski/pmaudit
You can start by talking about your idea with your friends and see what they have to say about the idea.
Then investigate whether there are similar products on the web and how well these products are doing.
Finally launch an MVP and get as many friends as you can find to experience it and get their feedback.
Try to post the MVP on the forums you frequent and pay attention to the feedback from users.
I don't know if this is tongue-in-cheek, but it is very accurate.
The work is different. Most peole working in a library are reading a book or writing things down.

Not sure about yall, but I like to talk to myself as I'm coming up with and implementing a solution. Even if I'm whispering, I'm sure others can hear me and would find that distracting.

I really like the idea of the library as an open space and the most valuable idea I would gather is to have tons of noolks and crannies where desks are spaced far apart. This wouldn't work with people sitting side by side. Even the clacking of keyboards gets distracting after a while.
I don't agree entirely that the did/doing/next dialogue is bad. It's a well understood phenomena that declaring intent, and reflecting on achievement and pace influences how you approach the problem.

This list is good, but it reads like the product of a person with focus and a low tolerance for others with a different pace and style. I can imagine them getting intensely frustrated with slow speakers, rambling PMs (me) and the like.

Does this inherently make them "right" or "more productive" -Yes, at the cost of possibly burn out, and the lack of cohesion from ideaologues who cannot listen or engage with others in their problems unless on the kanban, declared as blockers.

Its intruding another formalism for the one they don't like.

"don't talk to me this way" is a poor basis for mutuality. Maybe its "a little from box A, and a little from box B" ?

if 10 minutes of engagement with others causes this much angst, there's a bigger problem in play.
> Public health measures didn't put your family in poverty. The lack of any social safety net in the US did. Stimulus should have gone to people directly and not companies, but that's communism or something.

No. If the government had not locked down, their family would not have slipped into extreme poverty. Simple as.
It's a good example, I admit. I guess it depends on what hormones are excreted. It's probably fine if they are naturally occurring hormones, since women and females of other species excrete them anyways. It would be a consideration, but I guess more problematic for such an approval process would be other side effects.

Edit: the point is quite valid for other drugs though.

Very cool! Multiplayer could be a fun addition where players could choose to collaborate or could try to prevent other players from reaching future levels.
That requires a lot of coordination. Any single company could break ranks?
Yea that’s been a problem for me when I don’t use my personal Apple account on my work laptop.
How is that even calculated? The GDP is the sum of all goods and services produced.

I guess when Amazon sells an item the difference between the wholesale price they pay and the end price they charge including shipping is a service, retail.

But who has produced this service? The underpaid warehouse worker and delivery driver or Jeff Bezos?

For income it's clear, for GDP I don't see it.

Pine64 has a "danger/warning" all over it. If you buy things which come with DIP switches they aren't there for decoration.

At the volumes made, and design cost, it's almost inevitable they will have a higher failure rate than Lenovo or Dell.

Not designing the uBoot update path to be fail-safe is pretty bad. But, if the cost is "use the DIP switches" maybe the problem is not being warned at the time?
There is a difference between marketing and lying yo. The fact that you can't tell the difference speaks volumes for your moral character.
I don't know that it does have similar expectations for licensing your game under the same terms. This is ultimately for courts to decide. It's incredibly ambiguous if a game is a derivative work or a collection; The latter avoids virality.

I have a theory that C02 released at different levels of the atmosphere will have different affects on greenhouse warming. (And should be taxed differently)

For example planes release C02 to areas far above normal levels, so their is no natural mechanism for it to become part of the carbon cycle.

Carbon released at ground level only a small amount actually makes it to the upper atmosphere, because rain and other factors keeps it near ground level.

My theory is planes skip these steps and are basically dumping greenhouse gasses to levels far above the natural rate.

I have no way to test this hypothesis.

- I am under the impression that their is less air moment the higher you go, if so you could use 80 years of flight data to predict temperature change in localised areas.

- I am under the impression that the northern hemisphere is more affected by climate change than the southern. Could be because more flights in this area.

- I am under the impression that water in the air has the same band of IR of c02 , so areas with less atmospheric water c02 will have a higher greenhouse affect. Ie above the clouds.

- I am under the impression that c02 is water soluble and tends to be higher concentrations closer to the ground.

- I am also under the impression that c02 is heavier than air, so tends to sink.
Author here, thanks for your comment, I thought it was really thoughtful and well structured.

I don't think the rambling itself is a problem. It will inevitably happen sometimes, and that's fine. It's part of making everyone feel safe.

What I'm advocating for in this post is that we shouldn't create structures or formats which actively encourage rambling that does not add to the discussion.

Furthermore, if those structures are inefficient (i.e. encourage rambling) and instil fear, you won't have 10 minutes of engagement with others, you'll probably have something like 30 minutes of unproductive technical discussion, which will cause the whole team to stop believing in the stand-up's purpose.

That's not to say I disagree with you. I do agree we must find a balance, and that's why I add a few caveats to each of the recommendations, it's just that some practices are more prone to lead to inefficient meetings than others.

Thanks again for chiming in with such a detailed and thoughtful piece of feedback.

> I always thought they were just cosplaying.

Many of them are, over here we call them "Hell's Accountants". The mid life crisis "I wanna be a bad ass" demographic.

But we also have the actual gunfighting bikers that they're cosplaying as, and the cops and media love talking it up every time they get into a brawl with each other, so it's a common enough fear for people that still take main stream media as gospel...
Ideally there would be multiple spokespeople with influence, low cancellation attack surface, high PR attributes, low hypocrisy attack surface, financial independence.

As the last two years have shown, there are many vectors for discouraging speech and facts which are not sanctioned at a particular moment in time. Yet, the same speech may be permitted, forked and amplified at another point in time, to achieve time-sensitive goals.

Sometimes solutions to uncool niche problems are coincidentally solutions to cool common problems, which can lead to silent acceptance of the "collateral good" uncool solution, while promoting benefits to the larger cool market.

There's also the time-tested approach of comedy and satire.

In the first few episodes of this podcast, [0] there's some stories / explanations which are consistent with what I've read of the Bicameral mind theory on Wikipedia. [1] The wikipedia page describes that somewhere mid-OT (old testament in the Bible) where there was some type of cognitive shift away from obedience to gods.

In the podcast, the relevant story has to do with the period in the OT where ancient Israelites are going around killing people from the other nations. The explanation given in the podcast is that the gods of those people were very real. Even as far as that the people were half-god half-human; it's described 3-person sex rituals where there's one man, one woman, and a god who is possessing the man and the child is considered to have 2 fathers (the man and the god) and one mother.

So when the ancient Israelites were killing those other nations, it was to exterminate those other gods. And what happened was that the God of Abraham made a deal with all those gods, that a small number of them could stay and perform helpful chaotic actions which the God of Abraham permits, while the others were banished permanently. However, this stay would be temporary, and there was a time in the future when that small remnant would too become banished.

The above story is given as an explanation for why, in the NT (new testament in the Bible), some possessed people say to Jesus "Why have you come when it is not yet the time?" The spirit(s) who are possessing the man are referring to the pre-agreed upon time when the remainder of the gods will be banished from the Earth.

> And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? (matthew 8:29, KJV)

I'm sure there's a billion reasons why this doesn't hold up to anything resembling scientific scrutiny, like, in any way. Still kinda badass imo.

Definitely a template, and a very widely used one at that -- I've been able to identify hundreds, if not thousands, of profiles written using this template. Some highly formulaic phrases which are part of this template include:

* "He is one of the known names when it comes to [field]."

* "His incredible set of musical videos and songs makes makes him a known face in his circles and fans."

* "His expertise in making different types of songs makes his popularity soaring in the recent past few months."

* "[name] has already got verified on some leading music streaming platforms among the mentioned."

* "Since then it was no looking back for the [profession] as he kept on coming with one and the other."

* "Being inspired and dreamful by that, he wanted to be a [profession]. His deep passion and determination for [occupation] made him self-influenced and that took him a step forward."

* "[name] realized his true potential and today he's one of the [superlative] [profession] from [location]."

> It's shocking how one nation can see themselves in such a negative way.

Wonder if the issue is that it's just perception, i.e. they just "see" it that way, or it is actually that way as in reality? It would seem the people who have first hand experience would be more familiar with the environment.

> Humans will game systems if the circumstances are right.

I think one interesting aspect is whether they view it as a negative or illegal thing or it's merely a cool "hack". They might not even feel guilty at all about it, and if caught would just try harder tomorrow.
1) Based on what? The fact that evidence against him was overwhelming(?), or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction_rate

"Japan

The conviction rate is 99.3%. By only stating this high conviction rate it is often misunderstood as too high—however, this high conviction rate drops significantly when accounting for the fact that Japanese prosecutors drop roughly half the cases they are given. If measured in the same way, the United States' conviction rate would be 99.8%."

And he has since had to settle a massive fraud charge from the US SEC and is the subject of an arrest warrant from France now too. Bit hard to just dismiss the whole thing as being due to racist authoritarian Japan.

2) What was he a victim of? There are allegations and counter allegations, why should he have the presumption of innocence but not these "Nissan executives"?

> In his shoes, I would feel morally justified in escaping.

I'm guessing most CEO types would feel moral in personally deciding the punishment for their crimes is unfair and therefore they are justified in committing more crimes to get away with their earlier crimes...

> If you disagree with that, suppose Britney Griner somehow escaped from Russian "justice"? How would you feel then?

An emotionally charged question because of the situation now, but there are many who get "unfair" sentences for drugs all over the world including people jailed in Russia for similar crimes, people executed in South East Asia and the Middle East for drugs, and people locked away in the US for years on non violent crimes based on legislation and prosecutions orchestrated by the likes of President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Not that you can't be against all of those things, but it's a pretty huge crutch that seems to be trying to equate Japan's justice system with Russia's, and harsh penalties for personal drug use with the often very lenient punishments for fraud and embezzlement. "If you aren't with Ghosn then you're with Putin" is a bridge too far.

> Edit. Everyone talking about hypothetical burglaries and $10 thefts from poor people: please explain what, exactly, Ghosn was accused of stealing, and from whom?

Some millions of dollars. From company shareholders.
This is a silly argument- a subjective situation vs an objective one. Can electric pressure washers output a stream of similar force to ICE washers? This can be quantified. While fake burgers don't taste exactly like hamburger, saying they taste like garbage is something without quantification.

Would a PointerScope pattern work well here?

Functions that need to return dynamically sized things take a *PointerScope parameter, which is a struct with two function pointers: malloc() and close().

The api function uses the provided malloc, the caller calls close when they’re done with the returned data.

This can then be used with a bunch of calls (and by the caller itself), and then at the end all the allocations get freed with one simple call.

Obviously the PointerScope would internally need to keep track of what was allocated, so it’s a far from simple struct&code combo, but should provide decent user ergonomics?

Add a create() function too, to create a new PointerScope and you have an entire malloc/free replacing resource management paradigm! ;)

“Normal people” don’t have to put pressure for this to work.

Every point along the supply chain absorbs the price signal and will find cheaper (ie less CO2-producing) options where possible, raising the price a little. Where not possible the price goes up by the full CO2 tax amount. (In other words if it’s still the cheapest option to just pay the extra tax, like jet fuel, then the price just goes up.)

The consumer might hypothetically not get any different choices, but still see a CO2 tax cause all deliveries to use electric trucks, for example.

Consumers “putting pressure on companies” is a terrible way to fix this problem because few consumers have a clear picture of the current landscape of CO2 intensity and possible best fixes across the whole economy. But if you just price the externality in, then the market constraint-solves the problem for you.

(To be clear I don’t think markets are perfect, they are just much better than human coordinators at solving this class of problem.)
I thought HP had announced a breakthrough on these a few years back?
To clarify a bit, formula-plugging enables one to solve a certain set of engineering problems. Being unable to derive the formula can also lead one to mis-apply the formulas. (I've seen this happen multiple times.)

Being able to derive the formulas means one knows their limitations. It also means that one can derive a needed formula when it is not in the book. This means that one can solve a significantly larger set of engineering problems.

In aircraft design, this leads to lighter and less expensive parts without sacrificing strength or utility. It's an objectively better design.

Making one who can do this objectively a better engineer.

Absolutely. There will need to be treaties and a method to account for the carbon cost even when something is produced abroad if we are to achieve aggregate reductions.

Unfortunately things look grim when you look at the state of international relations. It doesn't feel like we'll see progress on international carbon pricing anytime soon.
I used to regularly do this by accident.

I used to live and socialise in a place where a lot of my city's security guards and bouncers drank, and became if not friends, at least familiar with many of them. (Kings Cross in Sydney in the 80s/90s)

I also used to pretty much exclusively wear black jeans, black t-shirts and when it was cold enough a black leather bike jacket.

I would often show up to clubs or gigs, and just get waved in by whoever was on the door because that assumed I was arriving for work.

I've never worked as security in my life.
