There will always be people who misuse systems to achieve their own ends (in this case, quite literally.)

What's important to also realize is that the solution isn't to make the system harder to use, because a side effect of that will be that people who NEED said system will find it inaccessible.

e.g. disability insurance is rife with fraud. Insurers combat this by auditing nearly all applications for fraud, and this has the effect of denying recompense for those who are truly disabled, for they do not, will not, or cannot jump through all the arbitrary hoops introduced by the insurer to combat fraud.

I don't have a solution for fraud and abuse of systems, however.
Hi marty,

Are you the creator of Blockbattle.net? You seem to be the creator of this subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/a:t5_2sezu/)? I remember playing it a couple years ago but it seems to have been taken down. Have you thought about open-sourcing it potentially? I've been wanting to re-create it for a while but really like to keep to original aesthetic, so having access to the CSS and game-logic would be great so I could faithfully re-create it.

I’d recommend against using spray oils such as Pam because they include lecithin, I think so that the oil coats surfaces more easily. Eventually lecithin will build up and make the cooking surface less effective. You can scrub it off with detergent but it’s kind of a pain.

I’d recommend putting just a little oil on a paper towel and spreading a very thin coat across the surface. Only takes a few moments.

I was better at unpracticed memorization and recall when I was younger. Some decades later, I feel worse at that but better at identifying implicit patterns and synthesizing novel insight across domains.

So no, I wouldn’t say I’ve found learning more difficult. I just recognize there are different things to learn.

My suggestion would be to reassess what you think “learning” means, because you’re probably already doing a better job of it than you’re giving yourself credit for.

It sounds like you want to learn explicit material like a student might. That’s fine, but at some point I would imagine your head will get a bit overcrowded with disjoint, received details. If you’ve emphasized that sort of learning in the past, you might just be sort of topped up and need to change gears to a more sophisticated kind of learning.
> The remaining option is for West European countries to adopt renewables as rapidly as possible.

> The EU had a third option: hold off decomissioning the "dirty" plants (nuclear and coal) until the renewables could actually handle the load.

These are the same? I'm not seeing the difference between "as rapidly as possible" and "when the renewables could actually handle the load" ? That's pretty much when it's possible, isn't it?

The rest (e.g. oil vs coal vs gas, how much exactly to try to buy from Russia) is manoeuvring and details towards that goal.
Helix(https://helix-editor.com/) and Kakoune(https://kakoune.org/) both have a keybindings that are discoverable through their UI. Helix has this small pop up that shows you the keys that you can chord and what command they perform. And kakoune has a Clippy like thing.

I have, right now, in my lab, multiple systems with ME disabled. I do not work for the government, military, or any intelligence agency.

Dell systems that have ME disabled come with a sticker of the number "3" on them, and linux tools exist that can verify the fact that it has been disabled.

My Precision 7760 mobile workstation can be purchased with ME disabled and it is listed as a BTO option at: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/p...

The discussions supposedly took place 4-6yrs ago. Apple only really went full bore on advertising their privacy focus in the past 2-3yrs, but they have had a track record since the very first iPhone of protecting user privacy.

They took a stance and ran with it. Before then they tolerated the ad business. But with nearly all of the younger generation using iPhone those companies stand to lose far more by leaving the platform

As someone who used to keep a carton of bottled water in my car's trunk in case of breakdown, emergency, etc., what are some good alternatives for portable long-term storage of drinkable water? Suppose I could fill a bunch of steel or glass bottles and secure them in the trunk, but that gets expensive.

People also seem to forget glass bottles are very energy intensive to produce and recycle, 3.69 MJ for glass and only 0.21 MJ for a PET bottle.

The real answer is in giving people clean drinking water at the tap IMO, so many people use bottled water exclusively.

Since it is browser based (webrtc), the implementation is mostly browser based. You can expect the same audio/video as you get with google meet or teams, which are using the same tech.

One or one calls should be using direct peer to peer connection thanks to webrtc.

A deeper thought is that according to some recent papers we've exceeded the safe operating boundary for novel entities (including plastics) under the 'planetary boundaries' framework: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.1c04158# , https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/18/chemical...

"We submit that the safe operating space of the NE-PB is exceeded when annual production and releases increase at a pace that outstrips the global capacity for assessment and monitoring. Based on the evidence presented here, we submit that we are now in a zone of exceedance of the Planetary Boundary fornovel entities. Further, even if we were to stabilize or reduce production and releases, the eﬀects due to our transgression of the NE-PB will still be a threat due to the persistence of many novel entities. Thus, we conclude that increases in production and releases of novel entities are not consistent with keeping humanity within the safe operating space, in the light of the global capacity for management. We invite the research community to continue work, using the impact pathway and understanding of the NE-PB presented here, to develop more operational control variables, more robust quantiﬁcation of the NE-PB, and better-deﬁned
limits for NE emissions. However, these continued research
eﬀorts need to go in parallel with urgent action to manage
today’s NE-PB threats."

The only way to figure this out is to go to your clients and give them a price and see how they react. You want to get to the point where they are angry about the price but are still paying.

This is going to be a lot of trial and error and no amount of analyzing is going to give you a good first answer. So start with something you find reasonable (the pricing you mentioned) and see how it goes with your current clients.

If they are totally ok with that then you’re priced too low and on the next sales cycle change it up. If they all balk and threaten to walk away then adjust your price down, until they begrudgingly pay.
There are people who go through every garbage can in my neighborhood every week looking for cans and bottles, so obviously someone returns them.
Until apple decides to no longer update their phone. And then they’re in an even worse position.

So if that is cause it’s just an old device and new feature don’t have what they need. But others is a decision they make.

Look at the recent redesign of the Reminders app, the fact that the new and old version are incompatible is not because of hardware. Nor is their choice to not backport it.
Bad OSE (optimizations on the part of the search engine), you mean.
Why should only non-violent criminals be shielded from the consequences of their actions? Non-violent criminals are often responsible for multiple orders of magnitude more damage than violent ones. The guy who stole my house shouldn't be less punished than the guy who slapped me.

It makes sense under the theory that we put people in prison to protect the public, but when we put dangerous, violent people in prison, we make them far more dangerous and violent, then let them out of prison largely unemployable and with no means of support. That's generally funny to us; we feel that it's even more punishment, and more punishment is good.

Drug people shouldn't be in prison because taking drugs shouldn't be a crime, not because it is a non-violent one.
For every additional lonely single man there's another lonely single woman, more or less. It doesn't seem to be a problem that affects women less than men. So why the asymmetrical focus on men? How is this a male skills deficit rather than a human skills deficit? Are female dating skills assumed, or less important, or less relevent for some reason?

It's like a story about the terrible burden placed on men by inflation. OK, but what's gender specific about that?

Yeah, you've got it in the edit.

Using Cypress you are going to have specs and specs will have tests.

You can parallelize Cypress per spec. Meaning that if you had 50 specs and 50 VMs, then your entire test suite will take at most what your longest spec takes.

Most companies are not going to have 50 VMs ready to run tests. However, even if you did, you still have the problem that your tests will run for as long as it takes to run the longest spec, which can be a lot.

I've seen companies try to diminish the latter issue by splitting specs into multiple files. However, that will get you only so far.

So what I do is... I read all your specs, extract individual tests, and spin up VM for each test.

If all your individual tests complete in under a minute, then you will wait at most 1 minute.

However, if there are individual tests that take longer, than yes – you will wait for the longest test to complete.
Numpy uses magic methods (Python's version of operator overloading). Django uses metaclasses. Pytest dynamically rewrites assert statements using AST. I'd say it's pretty common, at least in libraries. I certainly depend on Python's dynamism when fully leveraging the REPL.
I guess if you cook once every few months, that might be a concern.
Look up property-based testing, too. It helps you forget about coming up with specific test values and edge cases.

The Hypothesis library for Python has a pretty good docs explaining property-based testing and how to use it.
People use plastic water bottles so they don’t have to carry the empty bottle around after they finish.
Eh, I’d argue the opposite: developers expect the end-user to rely on Stack Overflow or perusing GitHub issues to figure out how to use their product, instead of making easy-to-use products.

Yeah, US city planning is unfortunately pretty dismal.

Outage Stories: The copy and paste outage
The sourcing for the claim that plastic in bottled water is a serious problem seems pretty thin. That blog links to a Business Insider article which links to a dead link on some environmental lobby group website called Orb Media. Searching on their site all I could find was this very non specific post that is very light on details. I wouldn’t go advocating for the banning of bottled water based on this nonsense.

The state of Linux docs as seen through Google is appalling. Searing for things like "how to set up rsnapshot backups" are full of garbage articles that are 800 words like whose only actual content is "apt install rsnapshot". Maybe this is a Google problem.

It doesn't help the Ubuntu docs have fallen into total disrepair. Most searches for information there find 6 year old stuff that's no longer relevant. Major sections of manuals have apparently been abandoned.

The bright spot is Arch Linux; that wiki is amazing. I now am adding Arch to most of my search queries even though I have no intention of ever using Arch.

We may be more intelligent. It depends on whether you're willing to believe that certain phases of society has a eugenic effect on intelligence.

For example, in the medieval era, the upper classes has more surviving children than the lower classes. Without any economic growth (because the economy was tied to land, not capital or innovation, and thus the size of the economy was basically fixed), this creates a constant flow of downward social mobility, where the ten children of a wealthy couple must compete with each other to be among the two who get to inherit their parents' slot in society.

If you think that intelligence could improve someone's chance of rising to the top of such a society, and staying there, then yes, you'd logically think that people in the past were dumber.

Evolution is slow when creating new features. But evolution is very fast when it's just changing the proportions of existing features. It's not hard to see how the above trend would cause a 2 point IQ gain per century, which would mean 10 points in 500 years. There's a big difference between 90 and 100 IQ.
Don't know. Not aware of any research on it.
I used to write articles like this for my blog. There's a reason they really don't exist anymore:

First is that documentation has gotten much better. A lot of times a repository will have examples alongside it. Man pages, help menus, and entire statically generated documentation sites have all advanced this quite a bit - and much of what they do share space with what I used to write about. It's worth mentioning that a lot of times, I was writing to a very specific end goal. Documentation sites will usually what you through what I did and then some.

Second is that Linux userlands have diverged a lot. There's not a ton of standardization around userspace tooling, so it makes writing an article (that needs to be updated) an up-hill battle.

Third, Linode and DigitalOcean use these kinds of articles as PR. They're high quality, often versioned, and help users understand broader contexts as well.

So, are they dead? Yes, in a sense. They inspired a lot though, so in that way I think they still live on.
Haha. It's absolutely beautiful when someone asks the good question.

Aluminum would be a great alternative, if it didn’t have to be coated with plastic to avoid reacting with the contents…
