> If only there had been solutions to heating and cooling, or ride comfort.

Effectiveness of heating and cooling is considerably diminished when a vehicle opens all its doors every few minutes.

The transport authority of the city I grew up in tried to solve this problem by setting the temperature to a cool 18°C - you could catch a cold from taking a longer trip via tram in the middle of summer.

As for ride comfort: there isn't much you can do against people drinking alcohol, having their phone on speaker or just urinating in the middle.
I’d love to see the work behind the daily credit card ingestion headline that went around a while back, because it really beggars belief.
Late model vehicles (I would say the past 3-5 years) definitely do system updates OTA, at least for vehicles that I worked on.
This is an ongoing project so there are many in my personal library that need coverage. That said, _why’s guide is probably too well known for this list.
You’re arguing possibilities, when all that matters is the cultural conception. Of course homeliness is not intrinsically tied to non-violence; all that matters is that the American conception of Farmer Joe is a homely, non-violent one. And Farmer Joe drives a beat up 1984 F-150.
There's also baking steels, made specifically for this purpose.

Many filters keep the minerals and good taste. You can (and often do) add minerals back to reverse osmosis filtered water (eg: for making espresso).

I think we just should look at bottled water as a strange thing to ship around. A little stigma here would go a long way.

>Why do we need to transport gallons of tap water or sugar water just so it can be sold to individuals for a gigantic markup?

tap water: because you're out and about and didn't have the foresight or didn't want to bring a bottle with you, so you buy a bottle on site and drink from that. I doubt many people are buying bottled water to drink at home.

sugar water: because people like the taste of sugar water, and plastic bottles is the best way to deliver said carbonated sugar water to the consumer.

>I’d love to see a warning label on products “Contains microplastics that may increase risk of health problems” similar to cigarette warnings.

The fact that bottled water contains a wide array of microplastics, some of which aren't used in single use beverage bottles, makes me think the microplastics are coming from the water supply, rather than from the plastic bottle itself. If that's the case, you'd need to add a warning for tap water as well, as well as every sort of food that is made using tap water (probably every food ever). That'd just lead to a prop 65 situation[1] where everything has that warning and it gets tuned out.

I dunno IMHO there's a lot of rose colored glasses looking back at them. I cut my teeth learning Linux in the era of howtos and such of the late 90s/2000s, and it was a real mess. Someone on an IRC channel would tell you to RTFM and point at a guide, you'd read it and slog through pages and pages of bloviation about unix philosophy, incredible minutia about every CLI parameter (half of which don't exist anymore) or whatever and be even more confused than when you started. You'd go back to IRC and someone else would say oh yeah don't read that guide, it's old and not up to date. Here read this guide... and the process starts over again. There were some good guides, but it was really hard to find them and sort out the good from the bad.

You're mixing electricity production vs energy.

We don't use oil for electricity production at all in France for example, we do for individual heating though.

Most of the gas you see for France is for industrial heating: making cement, fusing glass, etc. Which was not accounted for in your graph for Germany.

If you look at Germany's gas use, you'll see that it is sky-high, about x4 France's; because of industrial heat, and also mainly because of their humongous organic chemistry gas plant complexes.

Here is Ludwigshafen's BASF site, 2 train yards, 6 sq km of pipes, Factorio-style spaghetti architecture:

https://goo.gl/maps/itgDo7A727rq1DLG8

In goes gas and oil, out goes plastics, precursors, pharmaceuticals, rubber, fertilizers, etc. The streets are named EthylStraße, AmmoniakStraße, SulfatStraße, .. you get the idea

Btw in Mannheim/Ludwigshafen, they announced 'warm halls' for the next winter. Halls where the poor can go so as not to freeze.

All this to say: with France's nuclear maintenance done this summer, we'll just have to pop some ohm heaters for those of us using gas heating.
The linked site isn't where most HOWTOs were kept; they resided at https://tldp.org/

Are they dead? Not completely dead, but there is only one or two people still maintaining the site + HOWTOs (they organize on GitHub and a mailing list currently). But there's simply nobody volunteering to maintain them or write new articles.

Why is that? Because popular things get action and unpopular things don't. HOWTOs aren't popular.

Why is that? Because blogs and the invention of "Q&A sites" made them unnecessary. Before you would use a HOWTO to teach yourself everything about a specific piece of software or technical thing. Now you don't really need to learn an entire thing. You can just google the one question you have, get the answer, and move on. You still don't know how 98% of that thing works, but you fixed your problem. Since this solves most people's problems, they don't see value in taking the time to write an entire HOWTO, which may take weeks to months for a really good HOWTO. Similarly, users don't look for them because nobody's writing them. There is no incentive anymore.

SEO is part of the reason that traffic began being moved towards blogs and Q&A sites. But SEO alone didn't bring about the cultural shift towards snippets of answers. It was simply a new generation that learned tech outside of the old OSS community, and developed their own ways of learning. Just like the old OSS community created their own way of learning different than their previous generation.
I had a mild one that put me out of work for a week. I wonder if it's really a lack of energy, or just the body deterring you from any activity by pretending to be tired, so the brain can heal faster.

Gojira is three syllables total, go-ji-ra (or non-standard older go-dzi-lla; never god-zil-la for Japanese -- it does not rhyme with deities).

Maybe you're suffering from the usual learning curve thing where non-native speakers have trouble differentiating parts of words, because the emphasis and pronunciation simply isn't what you're used to.

Native speakers don't emphasize every syllable separately, just like you wouldn't emphasize every syllable in na-ti-ve; or how a non-native speaker like me would try to split "separate" into syllables that as se-pa-rate or se-pa-ra-te instead sep-a-rate.

(As someone who knows a couple handfuls of Japanese words, and comes from a language with somewhat similar phonemes, gojira is pronounced exactly how I expect it to be pronounced.)
I am also living in an apartment block in Wrocław next to this river. I was also born here and what you describe is a gross misrepresentation. While it is not considered clean enough for swimming, you cannot actually smell it going over any bridge. Crowds of people spend evenings and weekends in outdoor pubs right on the banks of Oder and seem unfazed. None of my friends or family has ever mentioned being overwhelmed or even feeling any sort of odor.
I wonder how is it possible to have so different impressions of the same place? I also wonder what makes you want to discredit the place where you live so much and create false image of it in other people's heads?

Why is there a need to withdraw thousands? The article only mentions restrictions on cash withdrawal, wouldn’t bank transfers which are purely ledger entries still work normally? If not, the financial system is completely off the rails and any money is as good as lost…
I wish I had heard about this earlier. I'm now 40 and my sleep patterns are not healthy. I don't have insomnia, I'm just used to sleeping past the point of total exhaustion. That cannot be good given what you say about ROS :(
I haven’t had any luck finding cast iron in thrift stores for years now. There’s people scouring the stores for them. I’ve seen a couple of crappy 6 inch pans from the 90’s and that’s it. Any vintage ones get snapped up instantly.
Just drink it straight. Municipal water (with few exceptions) is already filtered, treated, and regularly-tested for contaminants. It’s an insidious message from the bottled water industry that tap water is somehow poisonous without being filtered. It’s fine.

It’s practically a miracle that I can turn on a faucet anywhere in my state and feel safe drinking the water.
The financial system in Lebanon is in fact completely off the rails. Also, in the article it says the reason for needing to withdraw thousands is to pay a medical bill for his father. Guess the hospital doesn’t want a bank transfer to their own frozen account.

Yes, the claims are not sourced to reputable sources. If you click through to to the plastic in bottled water claim for example it leads to a non-scientific article from a 3 person non-profit that looks like a political lobbying organization masquerading as journalists.
There is a reason this were done that way until the 60s/70s. In large part because nobody the everything away because it was cheap. Not all of the "moving forward" has been a good idea or actually beneficial. But yes some inventions such as the electronic typewriter demonstrably save multiple hours each week for people.
I think this is the key.

The two extremes. Focus hard, but then have real downtime, slow time, stillness. Time to just let your mind and thoughts wonder, to relax, walk, meditate, listen to music, clean, just sit down and do nothing for a bit.

Cut out news and social media, cut out the noise, replace it with that kinda down time, real downtime, not this grey area that feels like relaxing but isn't, sometimes it feels like work and isn't too (like watching youtube, reading articles on productivity etc), this is the grey area.

Avoid as much grey activities as possible.

Either real work and real focus, or real downtime and stillness and as little of anything in-between as possible.
You don't need to perfectly dry a seasoned pan.

I also don't taste metalic notes in my food and that includes doing stuff like shakshuka right in the pan.

Stainless multi-clad isn't really a replacement for cast iron. They're different tools. Same goes for nonsticks, which are great for some things but not high heat (and yes every product that claims otherwise is lying to you).

Cast iron and carbon steel are close alternatives, where the tradeoff is between weight and thermal capacity.

People shouldn't mythologize cast iron, both in cultish enthusiasm, or exaggerating its flaws.
That's funny, I have the same nights sometimes and never thought of asking a doctor. Seems it's just what happens when we stay too inactive for a few days or mess up our sleep schedule.

>you'd still have to write everything twice: once in the real language, and once again in the type language

Hmm, no I don't? Actually, 99% percent of the time I'm writing haskell, I can just write it like it's a dynamically typed language and the compiler/lsp will just say "Hey, I can see this is an int/string/list/whatever, want me to annotate that for you"?

Hindley–Milner type systems are way way too powerful and I can count on my fingers how many times the compiler was confused when inferring types and I had to manually annotate it.

And yes, of course I have to test the logic of my code. What I don't have to test is that my code behaves when given wrong-type values and that all the code calls functions with values of the correct type, because the compiler is doing that for me.
In my life I went from never seeing these to seeing everyone carrying them. There really was a focus on selling the concept of the purity of bottled water.

Sadly in some places it probably is safer/tastes better. But for most of us our municipal water supply is far superior. Mine's from a mountain fed aquaphor, no way I'm drinking plastic infused bottled crap shipped 2000km that's taken from yet another municipal water supply anyway!

How do you do screen sharing, or sharing a specific window belonging to another program, from a browser app?
For that use case bottled water is pretty much optimal. You can get food-grade steel jerrycans or plastic containers, but that's going to need more maintenance (regular cleaning/water replacement).

E.g. FEMA recommends bottled water, or replacing water and bleaching every 6 months: https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf
> Computer programming work only counts at half the normal rate because debugging isn’t quite the same as deep thought.

This mentality is the reason why most software originating from academia is awful. Productivity is measured by research output (i.e. conference/journal papers) rather than the artifacts (i.e. code/software) built to support said research.
So I take it Lebanon doesnt operate on the strict islamic system of banking, that I thought was designed to prevent financial collapses like these? Or am I just wrong in assuming that said system is meant to be more robust?
You are correct for bash. If you run "cat" (from "bash"), you'll see that it no longer handles control-A or control-E (handled by readline...), but control-W is still handled by the tty.

2) You're somehow mistaken and it's not all that big of a deal.

For casual listening, I really like Connected, and Cortex, from Relay FM—the former being an Apple-centric podcast, the latter being anything productivity-adjacent, and co-hosted by CGP Grey.

For more niche, ‘serious’ interests, Peter Attia’s podcast, The Drive, and it’s short-form counterpart, The Qualies, are fantastic. Truly world-class conversations. Another in the same league is Sam Harris’ podcast, Making Sense.

AWS’s DMS has a dynamodb target.

Metered: significant internal and external resources are devoted to understanding aws spend. See the whole industry springing up around this, starting with Duckbill. No vpe is looking to add more to that list of things they have to understand and plan out.

Flat rate or bucketed pricing is common across many dev tools. eg ci/cd: see bamboo, gitlab ci/cd (purchased in blocks), circleci (credits w/ account, more credits sold in blocks). apms like honeycomb.io. etc.
I spent my teens installing linux from floppies and Infomagic CDs. Back then the distro would often by default include the howtos package bringing in the whole enchilada of knowledge.

They were generally relevant to the versions of software included, and updated when the rest of the system did.

Things started getting messy as everyone got connected 24x7 and increasingly diverged from what packages distros were shipping, and of course the HOWTOs in general just stopped getting maintained/created until we arrived at today's misery.

I think it's just that Google's instant answer is scraped from endmemo.com, and that website has it wrong.

If you check the second search result (https://www.llojibwe.org/drm/environmental/content/concentra...), it also corroborates what I'm saying:

> 1 nanogram/liter (ng/l) = 1 ppt

Technically speaking, ppt/ppb/ppm should be used for dimensionless quantities, but the convention used here is kinda contrary to that. The argument for the convention is something like this: 1 L ~= 1kg of water, so 10^-12kg of something per 1 L of water can be considered as dimensionless, since the kg and the L cancel out.

Tap water also has microplastics in it due to PVC pipes (could be even more toxic than PET/PETE particles even). The only way you can get water that has not touched (much!) plastic is glass-bottled water (imported brands being cheaper than domestic ones!) or, let's say, the 2.5-gallon glass jugs from Mountain Valley Spring Water, which not available in most locations and is so expensive, and use a porcelain dispenser, which still has a plastic spigot, by the way! Reusable glass and steel bottles are still not envioronmentally friendly as they are not cleaned easily and without waste! Well, still, it has a lower footprint than recycling glass bottls after a single use, but at least you don't waste extra water to clean them and don't put all kinds of chemicals in the sewage water after cleaning! Last, but not least - surface water was recently proven to contain unsafe levels of forever chemicals, which, I'm not sure to what degree, should be less in spring water, but I'm not absolutely sure about that either.
The other thing is the weight penalty for EV's vs ICE's is shrinking as battery energy density improves. You'd probably get parity if energy density improved by 50%.

That's pretty cool! I wonder how properly they were really signed - there are _so many_ mistakes even in systems that at least don't use an example key off the Internet.

The most common ones I know of are:

* Out-of-bounds write issues allowing "signature was validated" flags to be overwritten in Flash memory, like https://github.com/jglim/UnsignedFlash

* State machine mistakes, like https://github.com/bri3d/VW_Flash/blob/master/docs/docs.md - allowing Flash to be written again after it was already written, without an erase first.

* File format parsing mistakes, like those in a number of VW AG head units: https://github.com/jilleb/mib2-toolbox/issues/122

* The use of RSA with E=3 and inadequate padding validation, like https://words.filippo.io/bleichenbacher-06-signature-forgery... .

* Failure to understand the system boundaries, like in the second part of https://github.com/bri3d/simos18_sboot where "secret" data can be recovered by halting the system during a checksum process.

* Hardware fault injection issues, as used in https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/system... .

Fundamentally this is of course, a very hard problem, since in the "protect against firmware modification" case, the attacker has physical access. But, compared to the state of the art in mobile devices and game consoles, automotive stuff is still way behind.

The Zoom app itself doesn't need admin access. My primary non-admin account on my work Mac has it installed in ~/Applications, and I don't notice any missing functionality.

The only annoyance is having to manually extract it out of the downloaded archive when I want to update it. But IIRC, this takes two commands, not including the commands to swap the new app bundle with the old.

The downloaded archive is compressed with xar, and I believe that one should be extracted into an empty directory because otherwise it will spray files everywhere. Then the app bundle is in a gzipped cpio file...I think it's at Contents/Payload.
Unfortunately, almost everything would need that label, rendering it meaningless, like the California cancer warnings.

Boy, do I have some bad news for you.
Programming may be related to one half of fiction writing - the structural and logical facets. There is a whole other half of emotional authenticity and character building that make it far broader and more difficult than programming.

That is, if you want an effective product.

The thing is in programming there is no such “Mom” whose approval will validate the program. It will either run and do it’s job or not. Whereas in writing, you will at least always have your mother in the audience that will say “Sure sweety That’s a novel”

If you’re saying we can’t have insight into the experience of an average peasant from primary sources and modern analysis, then we can’t draw the conclusions suggested in the article either, right?

But if you accept that those sources may speak to the experience, the point is that the article’s supposition runs counter to them.

The article’s story just articulates an ahistorical, folksy ideology where historical people (and others) are more one-dimensional and uniform than enlightened “modern” people.
